Some members of the trans gender community are fearing that theyre under attack after at least two separate incidents in just this past week in philadelphia. This soul comes as city officials are trying to work to fight discrimination in the community. Jenny joyce in center city to explain all of that. Jenny . Reporter well, according to Philadelphia Police, four people, in the trans gender community, were victims of two separate crimes, earlier this week, police say, it is too early to know for sure if the two are connected, or if there is a specific threat against people who are transgender. Investigators say, sunday night, in west philadelphia, three trans women held up at gun point, monday night man shot to death coming to the aid of transgender lady friend, who was being robbed. Police say both incidents occurred after dates were arranged on back page. Com. A classified website. Descriptions of the gunmen are similar, but police cannot confirm a connection or shared motive between the two cases. Alvarez, trans gender woman, long Time Community activist, says, the Trans Community fears they are being targeted. This is nothing new. Weve been saying this for years. That trans women of color are in eminently more danger than most of the other folks in the Lgbt Community is. Right now little too early for us to say that any particular group is being targeted, as a result of people responding to back page ads, or as a result of this incident. Because again we dont know that for sure at this point in time. I think person may be targeting transgender people, because, again, they feel like theyre dispensible, but feel like theyre an easy target. Reporter discrimination in the Lgbtq Community is on the citys radar last night, the Philadelphia Commission on human relations held a meet to go show people in the community how to file complaints after numerous claims of discrimination were made in just a matter of months. And Philadelphia Police are pursuing all leads related to the two crimes that occurred earlier this week. If you have any information, of course, give investigators a call. Back to you guys. Jenny joyce, thank you. Time now 5 05. Learning this morning, a fifth victim killed in the Fort Lauderdale airport shooting has ties to our area. Sixtynine year other mary louise was a native of ohio, but had been living in dover, delaware, her identity was released yesterday. Her husband was reportedly wounded in the shooting. He remains in a coma. Esteban santiago accuse in the that deadly rampage. He faces federal charges. A developing story this morning. A disgruntled customer goes on the attack inside a southwest philadelphia deli. You see the Surveillance Video right there, the manna tacking the woman. What set him off . Steve keeley live at Police Headquarters with more on this one. Steve . If you thought every man in america who saw that ray rice video of him punching his now wife in that Atlantic City casino surveillance had them all thinking they never would even dream of doing Something Like that themselves there is new surveillance from southwest philly proves otherwise. In this video, it is even worse. This time, it is a guy who punches a 60 year old lady, seven times in the face. First you see him skirting his drink through her elmwood avenue deli protective shield. Angered her to the point played for some reason come out behind the protection to call him stupid. That set him off. He hits her, in two separate rounds, and keeps hitting her in the face even after he had knocked her to the floor. I make him is upset but he shoot the juice bottle inside the little hole inside the window. I dont know why i go out zoo. I never thought he was going to hit my face. I not talk to him. I not talk to him. I never fight with nobody. Reporter all right, here is a still shot of this guy. has facial hair, police say, got, mustache, hopefully someone can recognize him. This is 7001 elmwood avenue, called the daylight deli where this happened. The victim, the 60 year old lady, thinks this guy has been in the store before. That tells police that he probably lives within walking distance of this store. And people probably, who know him, will recognize him, despite this picture not being as clear as it could be, and hopefully, the video before we left the still picture up there, will anger somebody who knows this guy enough to call in a tip to police before he beats up his grandmom or your grandmom. Karen, thomas . Thats a good point, thank you will, steve. Can you give us a question . Dont be can you give us a question . Im not going to give you a question. Can you you are fake news. Go ahead. Sir . Days until his inauguration, donald trump held fiery News Conference wednesday, his first since winning the election. He was taking on certain Media Outlets specifically those who reported un substantiated allegations about russia having compromising information about him. Trump called those reports fake news. But for the first time he did acknowledge russian operative hacked the dnc during the election. As far as hacking, i think it was russia. But i think we also get hacked by other countries, and other people. Now, trump also unveiled some proposals to repeal, and then replace the Affordable Care ability by early next month. He also explained that hes going to be turning over his Business Empire to his sons, by placing it all in a trust that they control. Meanwhile the president elect continues to fill out his cabinet. Yesterday he named David Shulkin for his pick for vet rains a far as, secretary. Shulkin spent time here in philadelphia serving as chief medical office at upenn and at temple university. Currently the under secretary of health with the obama administration. Secretary of state, nominee, Rex Tillerson was grilled about his connections to russia during his confirmation hearing. The toughest line of questioning came from senator marco rubio. He laid into the long time head of exxon mobile, for failing to take a tough stance against russian cyber attacks. He also pressed tillerson for his view on the kremlins role in the syrian war. And attack on civilians by the russian military. And unprecedented moment from the final day of the confirmation hearings for trumps pick for attorney general. New jersey senator cory booker testified against another sitting senator, jeff sessions. Booker says the alabama senators record on civil rights, gay rights, immigration, makes sections unfit for the job. Senator sessions has not demonstrate add commitment to a central requisite of the job, to aggressively pursue the congressional mandate of civil rights, equal rights, and justice for all of our citizens. Despite the objections, sessions confirmation will likely be approved with 52 votes needed for simple majority.

Thank you barack, for proving youre not a lame duck. But my very own silver fox. The first lady making her final appearance on late night tv. Didnt hold back. More on the lash a little later in the show. Looking good there, good morning, everybody, 5 11, hit the gags and lets go for a ride. We will head in toward philadelphia on the 42 freeway. Roads are wet this morning. Lets go outside. Take live look. Say good morning to trenton, new jersey, waking up the State Capitol this morning. Sue has the forecast. Well check the jam cams. Stay there, were coming right back. My hygienist told me to try. A mouthwash. So i tried crest. It does so much more than give me fresh breath. Crest prohealth mouthwash provides all. Of these benefits to help you get better dental checkups. Go pro with crest prohealth mouthwash. Checkup . Nailed it. Welcome back. It is almost 5 15 right now on this thursday morning. Were going to have a winter scene that were looking at. But it will be almost spring like temperatures, 60s, sue serio. Lets look at the weather in california right now. Theyve a lot of very severe flooding. Theyve had heavy rain for days. This is specifically hollis err, where officials have ordered mandatory evacuations because theyve record rainfall thats brought down a lot of trees, cut power, roads, all kind of problems. Unfortunately, theyve more rain in their forecast. Lets take a look at our forecast. Sue, did you say it could be a nine today . Oh, yes, definately a nine. Because of the temperatures. We dont see this happen very often in january, where temperatures are on their way up. There will be some places that may tie or break record High Temperatures today. As we see the south and southwesterly winds moving in. And a day of miler temperatures, before the cold air returns, and yes, it will, starting tomorrow. But we do have a few widely scattered showers, left over, throughout the area this morning. And as we zoom in a little bit closer, theyre just dribs and drabs, little bit in delaware county, little bit in bucks county, little bit over here in chester county. Not much around but it is umbrellaworthy in some places and certainly windshield wiperworthy. Whats going to happen the rest of the day . I think enough sunshine specially to the south of us to break the records, except in philadelphia where the records is 73 degrees. I dont think that one is in danger. But now we focus on saturday. Colder air moves in after a cold front comes through tonight. With that cold air in place, here comes some precipitation. Not in the morning, probably in the afternoon. And it will be widely scattered, were not even talking about accumulation, but it is enough to make for the potential for tricky travel on saturday afternoon and saturday evening. According to the computer models, at this point it, looks like it is out of here by saturday night. So, hopefully that will be the situation. Weve got 53 degrees in philadelphia right now. 43 degrees in mount pocono. Fiftytwo in lancaster, 56 degrees in dover. Well above the average high of 40 already, so there is no where to go but up from here, with that mild air moving in. Fiftyfour was our high yesterday. Sixtytwo today. Just stop and say ahh, 62 today. Fortyeight tomorrow. Thats not bad. Thirtyfour on saturday. Thats the coldest day of this seven day forecast. Because, by the middle of next week, we are back up into the 50s. And with the potential for messy weather on saturday, it looks like we will be okay, bob kelly, for the rest of the holiday weekend. Thats good. Sounds good there, sue. 5 17. Good morning, everybody, on a thursday, off to kind of quiet start here this morning. Again, a little wet behind the ears. All of the roads are wet this morning. Probably need the wipers once or twice, to clear the raindrops off your windshield. And then maybe the same deal as you come down the boulevard, if you got a car in front of you there with a little bit of spray. But we dont have any report of black ice. Thats good news, 53 degrees on the temp. Looking good there on the benny, coming up and over into downtown philly. Do have an accident though. Down in wilmington here, Old Baltimore pike at salem church road. Use route four if you are coming out that far neck of the woods, i just checked with the airport, no delays at Philadelphia International airport. But there is some fog knocking down visibility, up in the allentown and the pocono area. So, hopefully it stays up there. And doesnt come down to impact flights at Philadelphia International airport. Got new traffic pattern for the gang in the great northeast, state road right at the i95 cottman avenue interchange. Get ready for some changes there. Ninetyfive of course in that stretch, open to the four lanes, but now theyre working on the on and the off ramps. Also same deal this month, valley road, watch for some lane restrictions between jennings way and valley green road, the Tredyffrin School District there. Buses on detour. Just watch for possible weather delays this morning, i men shown, no delays on the tote board. Usually around 6 00 when we start to see the number of flights pop up down there at Philadelphia International airport. So were good to go there. Septa says off to good start, as well, on this thursday morning, karen and thomas back to you. All right, bob, i need to get your opinion on this one. Drivers, we may be seeing more roundswas in pennsylvania, but then didnt we just get rid of this in new jersey . Just got rid every them in new jersey. Now penndot is bringing them back. This ought to be good.

You dont like them . You feel like youre going in circumstance else . Thank you, thomas. Exactly. Time now 5 19. Three men are wanted for stealing from atms in northeast philadelphia. So, you can see them right here on security video. Prying 1tm loose at the express field, oxford circle. Then they shove the entire machine right through a hole in the door. Since november detectives say these burglars have swiped at least six Bank Machines from area businesses, and theyve gotten away with about 50,000. They work over in the middle of the night, Early Morning hours. One of the videos, they spend over an hour in a place on new years day.
