Reporter you heard bob and sue say, new year but unfortunately old mayhem on the streets of philadelphia a here where police say a 27 year old father just got home with his wife and four young daughter. They are between five months and four years old. While the 24 yearold mommies putting doubt tours bed upstairs, just before 11 00 there is a knock at front door, right here, mid block, bunch of row houses here on pratt street when the father answered, two guys he says are putting a gun to his head. Heres our video that we shot overnight, the father, also armed, and police say he shot and killed one of the guys who pushed their way in, and then one of them shot the father twice.

Reporter police know of at least 11 shots fired because they found that number of shell casings, not just inside the house but right on the other side of the front door but outside on the porch, and even on the sidewalk, they got two guns, they figure, the home owners gun is one and maybe dead guys gun the other and lots of cameras on the the streets here, lauren, that tells you that people have surveillance cameras after being a crime victim themselves. You can just see as police drove by that alley way a motion detector just put that light on that important much, that tells you one thing, these people are past victims of crime, maybe why home owner had a gun but other question police have is was the home owner of because usually Home Invaders just dont pick a row house, in the middle of the block, hoping something is inside. So maybe they thought home owner had some kind of valuables and that is what police are also investigating out here as they look into this case, 2017 and we start murder count, even if it the is justified in this case, real early on in this new year , lauren.
