Whats the big deal . I get that the Trump Campaign is scared. Theyre scared of indiana.

The scene is eastbound approaching bensalem the route one interchange and as you can see we have a whole bunch of stuck traffic waiting to get by on that Left Shoulder, as we go out to the maps plan x is still in place.

Youve got a whole bunch of stopped traffic on the eastbound side coming away from virginia drive. Westbound theres a gaper delay so on the went side youre looking at speeds just in the teens but its better than the stopped conditions that you have on the eastbound side so you want to stay local through the neighborhoods this afternoon.

Then in the backlog there was a crash by girard. Theres a crash on city avenue sobbed just off the schuylkill blocking a lane and causing a mess there and a pair of disabled vehicles on 95. One is northbound near girard. The other a disabled truck northbound near woodhaven. Lets do the commuter report on this monday afternoon. Yeah, complete standstill on the pennsylvania turnpike.

Police shot and killed the 12yearold back in november of 2014 after responding to a call. The boy was holding a toy gun at the time. Under the terms of the settlement the city does not acknowledge any fault in rices death. A grand jury decided not to indict the trainee who shot rice or the officer who was training him. Two students shot at a High School Prom are expected to recover. Police say 18yearold jacob wagner shot the teens with a high powered rifle in the School Parking lot in northern wisconsin on saturday. Investigators believe the former student planned to go inside the dance and shoot people at random but a Police Officer who was already patrolling the campus shot and killed wagner outside undoubtedly saving lives. We dont know what could have happened had he entered the high school. We can only speculate. We can only say what if but i have a feeling that what if would have been much more tragic. Now family members have said that wagner was bullied prompting Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker to call for more conversations about mental health, a possible motive though is still under investigation. As Friends Family members and fans mourn the loss of the the International Superstar known as prince, questions remain who will inherit his estate. That estate estimated at 300 million is still growing with his music topping the charts as fans continue to mourn his loss and celebrate his sound but theres still no word today on whether or not prince had a will. He did not leave behind a wife or any living children. He does have one sister, the woman seen right there with the purple hair and seven half siblings. Under minnesota law they could all be in line to inherit the singers fortune. Realistically it seems to me that it depends so much on what battles ensue. This could be years. It could be years. Now, theres also speculation that in the absence of a will his estate could also be left to the jehovahs Witnesses Church that he attended for nearly 15 years. Meanwhile outside princes home in paisley park, minnesota a memorial continues to grow for him there. His publicist confirming that his remains have been cremated and that his final resting place will be kept secret. Sharrie. Fans still reflecting even today. Alicia, thanks.
