Philadelphia International Airport had big delays last night. Expect at least Early Morning hours to have rough go. Then maybe even through the day with the winds, right now, the blue route, i95, nothing really out of the ordinary, both market frankford and the subway using shuttle buses until 5 00. Karen, back to you. Thank you so much. Developing story to begin with right now at 4 03, from west philadelphia, we know woman has died after police chase came to crashing end. It all began with some gunshots, escalate today a pursuit, police say, the victim was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Weve got steve keeley on this one, over at police headquarters, so, steve, what do we know at this early hour . She was in the right place at the right time. She was doing everything legally. She was just sitting in her car going by the traffic laws. Sitting waiting for a light to change. And she ends up getting killed. Two guys who tried to kill other guys in another car with their guns ended up killing her with her car. She is an innocent 56 year old woman, driving her kia sole, waiting for the 52nd and locust lights to change just past 7 00. You see in video one, a black nissan going through that red light, smashed into the kia, which you now see here in video two, got thrown up against another car and pushed up on to the sidewalk. The 56 year old woman pronounced dead within the hour at 8 10. The two guys inside the nissan only hurt slightly in the police words in this crash. Not hit by the earlier gunfire. Although, their nissan has bullet holes in it. And inside the nissan, police find a 9millimeter gun with a extended magazine, that holds many bullets, that police got Surveillance Video of showing the car to car gun fight that started all of this, that officers on patrol nearby had overheard. We pulled some video from a store around 48th and westminster. And we see depict in the that video this car, the nissan, and another vehicle, involved in some altercation, and gunshots were fired, from the black nissan, and a white vehicle, so there was a shoot that did occur, the officers did follow that vehicle, with their lights and sirens on, car does not spot. They pursue that vehicle for several blocks to the intersection of 52nd and locust, which is directly behind me. At that time the nissan, that is being pursued by at least two Police Vehicles strikes a vehicle that is going eastbound on locust street, striking that vehicle, unfortunately, the driver that far vehicle was pronounced at Presbyterian Hospital around 8 10. Well, police have not yet found that white car originally shooting at the black nissan. So, the obvious question was the Police Pursuit justified . Where of course there will be official investigation, but you talk to police, they say, when you have got lives in jeopardy, you just cant have people shooting guns on the street of philadelphia and driving around, shooting at each other. And then just let them drive off like nothing happened, because they take off. Sadly, criminals, guns, not the only thing we can see as we kill here, so can their car. These guys will be charged with the 56 year old womans death. And for the whole family, such a tragedy, steve. Also, following g breaking news coming to us from washington state.

Was just happy, happy little baby. Im going to miss him because he always called me aunty and everything, and every time he saw me, he was happy. Crime scene investigators spent wednesday afternoon collecting evidence at that house and that investigation is ongoing. Did you hear about this one . I saw it all over twitter. Quite a mystery at the Wells Fargo Center after the 76ers game gets scrubbed. First time this has ever happened. Seemed nearly as wet on the court as it was outside. Moisture forced officials to postpone the game against the sacramento kings. How did this happen . The poor conditions created really potentially hazardous situation for the players. Crews tried, see them out there, got the mops around, trying to dry up the hard wood, everyone watching. Now the team is saying it wasnt water but Something Else that seeped through the cracks of the floor. Now, keep in mind, i dont know why this has never been an issue before, but the flyers did play on tuesday. And within 24 hours, the ice surface on the floor were taken apart. But theyve done half courts before. Anyway they put it all back together for basketball. Twitter lit up because they couldnt play the game. Sixers star embiid tweeting out well the court was tanking tonight hashtag trust the process. Another tonights game has been postponed. You can trust the process but not the floor . Smh. Philly, you need one of these . Slam wow, youre going to be saying wow every time you use this product. Check this out. The slam wow, like shammy, like a towel, like a sponge. A regular towel doesnt work wet. The slam i would works wet or dry. Use this on the house, your boss, exwives, your firetruck, olympic swimmer. That is pretty darn funny and clever. Wells fargo is responsible for the upkeep of the floor and the court. We dont have official comment for them, but anybody going to that game they can get all of their money back and their parking fees, as well. 4 11. Police arrested some graffiti vandals, coming up next on the morning news, we will identify one of the suspects. And it may and surprise, this might be the guy in the ascott. Whats this . Mcdonalds big mac, big sandwich with great big taste. Sesame seed bun and we forgot the onion. Remember that song two, all beef patties. Ahead remembering the big mac and the big cheese that created it from our area. We will be right back. So, there is still some rain around, but it is almost out of here this morning. We see the last gasp of our cold front coming through. Were already seeing the wind start to pick up this morning. And it will be a windy day. So Mother Nature will really dry us out after the rest of this cold front has passed through, and you see it extends all the way down through the carolinas, even further south. But at least it is not so cold that were getting anything white. It was just wet. And once temperatures do get colder, things will be drier. So we zoom in little bit. Just to see where the rain is right now. Little bit in philadelphia. Just mostly damp, little bit of rain right across the river, and then, up toward abington. Weve got little bit more in south jersey, and southern delaware, and around ocean city, maryland. But again, this is it for the rain and well show you the future cast where the clouds clear out pretty nicely. Well get sunshine today. You will have to hold on to your hat. Because we could have wind gusts, 25, 30 miles an hour, throughout the rest of the afternoon as High Pressure builds in behind the cold front. We will be inbetween those two systems, and as we call that pressure gradient. So, temperature difference, weve got 56 degrees in new york, 654 in raleigh, then you jumped over to st. Louis, in the 30s, so thats the colder air that will move in. First day of december, and it will start to feel like it, by the end of the day. But it is still pretty mild right now. Just, remember, if you are out all day, make sure you have enough outerwear. 58 degrees in fill, 47 mount pocono, 56 in wildwood. And tonight with those temperatures plunging, we will see pretty cold night. 50 degrees is our average hi, last two days we were well above average with 60 and 61 degrees. Todays one of those days where we get our High Temperature early in the day, and then we will see temperatures drop. Soap, again, the last of the rain is here right now. Sunny, breezy, tomorrow, saturday, sunday, both saturday and sunday will probably see High Temperatures in the 40s, and slight chance of shower on monday, possibly on tuesday, as well. So, thats a look at your seven day forecast, bob kelly, i know youre going out to see some Christmas Lights tonight. Oh, you know it, im ready to go. Lets turn offer the spigot there, get the wind blowing. It will be soggy but the lights are all plugged in, we didnt blow any breakers, so we will be in good shape. Live look at the Benjamin Franklin bridge. The parking spot, notice the leaves still matted down. Here is a live look of i95 in the construction zone. Just be careful with the Early Morning hours, the roads are wet, it is tough to see the lane markers sometimes in some of the construction zones. As you roll in through palmyra, cinnaminson avenue at second avenue, second street, i should say, watch for an accident. Check with delays at philadelphia International Airport. Expected today because of the weather conditions. We have a lot of left over delays also from yesterdayment expect delays this morning on the Regional Rail lines. Slippery rales.

Taking look at the at more of the top stories, juniata man facing charges after police say he bit two officers. Steve told you about the story yesterday. Now we have a picture of the guy that police say did i it. This is Police Officers say they were stopping to talk with that guy, 32 years old, ceasar or telling a, to question him about possibly breaking into a car. Cops say that then that suspect punched, kicked, head butted and bit the officers breaking their skin. I know an officer, a lot of times, 35 years ago, got bitten by a female. He was multiple surgeries, over the course of years. I mean, infection just set in, tore his body up. So human bite, the human mouth actually not the best thing in the world when you talk about breaking skin. Both officers did go to the hospital to have those wounds cleaned out, were told theyre doing just fine, and or telling a facing long list of charges.

Philadelphia city officials confirm to fox 29 the blazer clad men, also Holding Glass of wine; none other than dunkin lloyd, assistant City Solicitor in the law department. I was not a trump supporter, but i think to vandalize the store was a very inapropriate reaction to the election. Market customers are stunned that a City Attorney would take part in Something Like this. I think it is un becoming for him to do it. City officials are people, too, and theyre flawed, just like everyone else. First deputy City Solicitor, craig straw, released a statement saying, quote, to my knowledge, mr. Lloyd has already contacted the philadelphia police, and is cooperating with them. We will decide encores of action once we obtain more information about the investigation.
