Very frantic and very frightening for police here, trying to help, this person involved in this case. We can tell you you Abington Township Police sergeant has a shoulder injury and cannot hear out of one side of his head because this firearm went off so close to his ear. Investigators say it started with a call from Upper Dublin Police saying there was an armed three twoyear old man who walk a waste and determined to commit suicide by cop. Officers could not find him until around midnight when they saw him walking down the street. Were told Police Stopped him, talk with him and offered to drive him home. Police did a routine pat down when they felt his gun and pulled it and that is when the person pulled it out. Sergeant then dives at the man in the struggle to get the gun. Police deliberate liz firing five times, going after. Someone pulse out a gun everything happens so quickly and just such a scary situation obviously and the officer really took a risk, rather than stepping back and drawing his weapon by diving at him and fighting with him over the gun. Obviously he was taking a serious risk but he did it understanding if he wasnt able to get that gun from him they probably why going have to shoot and kill him. I admire his bravery for doing that and his dedication to trying to keep the citizens safe who was suicidal and who we received a report, that had talked about suicide by cop. A situation that could have ease liz ended up much worse. We can tell you that police have a warrant to take that man into a who will hospital for psyched evaluation and we can tell thaw officer is expect to be okay but he will be hospitalized for observation as well.

Thanks very much. 5 07. Were remembering golf icon Arnold Palmer who passed away yesterday at age of 87. Palmer was born in le trobe, pennsylvania but you knew him as king or just arnold, he was one of the greatest players ever to grace a golf course. Palmer won seven major championship including four masters title and in the golf hall have of fame. He is known for his philanthropic efforts and is a marketing pioneer when it comes to sports marketing. You know or knew him, i should say lauren johnson, from your work in johnson. I met him briefly ones at the a charity event, very humble, very nice, always smiling. Childrens named after his first wife, winnie palmer, childrens hospital. So many great golfers coming out on social media tweeting. Tiger wood post this thanks, arnold for your friendship, council and lots of laughs. Your philanthropy and humility are part of the your legend. Peter jacobson im heart broken, Arnold Palmer defined is what professional inside and outside of the ropes. All of the golf says thanks arnold. I heard from a former pro the radio this morning listening to big daddy graham, who will be on the show in a half an hour to talk about the eagles, and saying that when he won, arnold called the guy. He didnt know arnold, they didnt know each other but he said welcome to the club. Then he said, now, you have to always act professionally and talk about being a good citizen, on and off the golf course. That is nice. Can you imagine getting a a call from Arnold Palmer. Congratulations. Lets speak eagles. Talking about congratulations, three times is a charm for eagles. Now they are celebrating a Third Straight win. Who saw this coming, all right. You take on the browns and then you take on the bears, both teams are not so great. Steelers are expected to go to the super bowl this year with that offense and we shut them down. For the first time in 20 years eagles remained undefeated at this point of the season. Fans jumping on board is what being called the went wagon. Look at the this mornings daily news cover, head line says it all, on a scale of one to ten, he is an 11, star rookie quarterback carson wentz with a huge grin on his face after last nights win, and hard to believe, he is still in his first month as a professional player. Eagles defense also a force to be reckon with sending steelers home with their head hanging low. How about that Doug Pederson one and zero as a rookie head coach. Eagles jumping on the steelers early and never letting up. Went on a 12 play, 82yard drive. There is Jordan Matthews for 12yard touchdown. Third quarter Darren Sproles, watch this, this is what sam bradford could not do very well, he scrapple also, and then find a wide open sproles, he will just, juke left, cut right, he will go back left. Right in the end zone. 77yard. Went would go 23 of 31, 301 o interceptions. And very angry coach there on the other side. Absolutely, because not only steelers had been two and zero coming in here, they had ben roethlisberger, an tone yes brown, all these guys are expected to take the steelers to perhaps the super bowl this year, this is going to be first big test, wentz looked like a seasoned veteran. He did. I said lets listen to wentz. Everybody is start to go play inspired football, everybody is believing in each other. It has been three great team wins, defense is playing phenomenal, special teams doing a great job and offensively we are doing our part. I have to hear what happened here, what happened at church. I sat behind a couple who were steelers fans. One of the shirts was like bird and she haddon this jersey, i forget whose jersey and pastor making jokes about he is a huge eagles fan. He had made jokes about the steelers, and now we have bragging rights. You were obviously in church before the game. Before the game, yes. Yes. We will talk eagles all morning licensing including what fans are saying outside of church as well, big daddy graham will join us a the 5 45.

More than 5,000 People Living in that area have been evacuated. Schools cancelled. Homeowners and businesses, stacked sandbags in preparation for major flooding.

The good news is we may take care of that this week not only with the rain coming tonight but with this cold front but there is another chance of rain later in the week thursday and friday. So High Pressure which made for a beautiful weekend is moving off shore. We will get rain from this cold front probably after dark tonight, it will rain throughout the night and in the early hours of our rush hour tomorrow but we will keep an eye on that for you. 54 degrees in philadelphia, and that is one of the warmer spots.

Seventyfive our High Temperature. Seventyfour for tomorrow with those showers lingering in the morning. The showers are mostly an overnight event, really nice day on sunday, higher number with a high of 76 and lots of sunshine. Rain comes on thursday lasting into friday, maybe even into saturday morning but that should make up at least for our rainfall, deficit, and then if you notice bob kelly, no more 80s in that seven day forecast, staying cool. Putting them away, like the short, shorts, put them a waste. 5 16 on a monday. Live look here at route 73 in mount laurel, new jersey. Southbound, kind of an accident here right at 295 interchange, so again anybody leaving maple shade heading south on route 73, look out there is only that within lane that is opened here and that will get worse before it gets better and coming north on 295 an overturned tractor trailer as you head in the 42 freeway right at deptford interchange.
