How did these guys make off with this much cash . Reporter well, that is the number one question, we do not have that answer yet. You got to wonder do state police feel they are any closer to gets the answer themselves . Here we are, 25 hours, and still nothing put out publicly yet by new Jersey State Police on this. Maybe because theyve got enough Surveillance Video from ceasars, information, or even identities, and dont think they need the publics help. Or dont need it just yet. Normally Police Always like to have all eyes possible on the lookout for nip get away vehicle, or criminals caught on video, someone may recognize an aid getting them caught by police. But police told me last night, to expect, some news release this morning. And they were for sure busy last night, getting the details from the casino workers, and any surveillance, at what happened and how it happened.

Just keeps on like domino effect for this town. You know, where the security bad, it is not good. Well, researching the story earlier this morning, chris, mike, kerrey, i found another story similar, another armed holdup, fox 23 this had one, two armed guys holding up the little ceasars in east tulsa getting away with 1600 bucks, likely not related to these guys. No, thats a cheesey operation they got going on in tulsa for sure. 7 04, thanks,. A man, a woman, in critical condition, after each of them shot multiple times. This is in philadelphias Oxford Circle neighborhood. Police say 43 year old woman shot nine times. A 55 year old man, yes, shot three times. Now, their relationship to one another isnt known. But they were found laying on the ground in the 6500 block of castor avenue. This is right around 11 30, last night. Police say they found gun half mile away interest that particular area. So they are looking for a male shooter, but they dont know if the victims know him. Now, there is an indication two people that were shot, including the woman nine times, that those two people are engaged. Were working on that. We believe that they did know each other. More on that as good day continues. Philadelphia police also investigating a second double shooting there is one happened just about an hour later in holmesburg. Police say that two men, both of them 32 years old, were shot in the 4600 block of kendrick street. At least 17 shots were fired, thats a residential area. No one else was hurt.

Crazy story of the day. After gynecologist secretly photographed and videotaped women in the examining room. Authorities say he used a camera kind of looks like a pen that he hunk around his neck, he recorded more than 8,000 patients. At least 62 of the victims are under the age of 18. Some of them of course say theyre scared from ever seeing a gynecologist ever again. Hopkins shares the view that this was a colossal breach of trust, and, frank lip, it was a colossal breach of trust to his patients and a breach of trust to hopkins. Hopkins had no idea or inkling that he was doing this sort of thing. And apparently was one of his patients that saw that little camera hanging around his neck and turned him in. What happened to him . He was fired after this all came out. Doctor levy is his name, he actually killed himself couple of days after he was let go. Wow. College friends of the Boston Marathon bombing suspect has been convicted of impeding the investigation into that attack. Sure d the friends was found guilty of obstruction of justice and conspiracy. Prosecutors say he helped remove dzhokhars back pack from his dorm room several days after the bombing. A second friend faces a separate trial in september. I dont imagine it looks good for him either. And how about this big break through in the fight against hiv and aids from Temple University . Right here local. The researchers have designed a way to prominently permanently rid human cells of hiv. Of course this is a zero not a lab setting but very big advancement. Hiv1 is the more aggressive form of this disease. It is the first time that researchers have ever been able to do anything like this. And they say, that this development sets the stage for a potential cure for patients that have aids and even other viral based diseases, may also lead to aids vaccine. Way to go temple, all right.

Defensive back who was on the practice squad for, well, most of the season. So, hes arrested saturday morning in a bar, a restaurant, the charges against johnson were aggravated assault against an officer, and resisting arrest. He allegedly pushed the officer against a tree, if you dont remember him, it is probably because johnson only played in two games during the season. Mugshot. There you go.

So i popped the clutch, hit the gas, turn the corner, blew my horn, got inside the restaurant, i figure if i figured anything the more time i spent there, if somebody scared him or something, that trigger, he might kill me back. Well, it worked. Then workers inside the restaurant, the burger king, locked the doors, called police, and the suspect took off, a worker at the burger king says the drivethru camera wasnt working at the time. Darn it. No kidding. Clock 12 right now. Piece of local history set to market, talking wawa number one, been up and running for i think about five, five decades now. Thats right. Fifty years, a sad ending for some in delaware county. But the closures making way for bigger things. Of course it is, bigger and bert. Sabina kuriakose live outside of this wawa number one to explain. I imagine some people are a little bit disappoint today see it go . Reporter oh, absolutely, for a lot of people in this area, this isnt just a wawa, it is their corner store, where they grab their morning coffee, stop, chat with their neighbors every day, it is part of the fabric of folsome. The store just celebrated a landmark 50 years in april. Now wawa says it is closing its flag ship store and opening a super wawa about half mile away on route 420. That storely now be known as store number one, but loyal customers say it is just not the same. I know trevor. I know the sandwichesment and i know cory, good guy, one of the day managers. You know all every these guys like theyre your friends . Yes, buddies, yes. Sad theyre closing, a lot of the wawas they are making now are turning into gas stations. So closing the small ones, making room for the bigger ones. Times are changing. She can name every employee that works here, she said she comes here every day, thats the same story for a loft folks here. Now, they do have some time before this wawa closes, that super wawa over on route 420 will not be open until spring of 2016. So, still got about a year and a half here at the original one. Back to you guys. All right, ill get over there before it close. Do you have. Look at that almost 7 15 on a tuesday. Time flies. Im going to jet here in just a second. Oh . Time to juice. Okay. Thank you for that information. Take two. Hey, reality is here. This is reality tv. Yes. , we have steamy day out there, and here is the reason why. Winds are now coming in from the southwest, and thats where the humidity is, down there in the gulf of mexico. You know how hot and humid it is every day. Down in places like florida, mississippi, alabama. You get the idea. So, feeling steamy today, tomorrow, then the cold front comes through, to prevent us from having a long extended period of heat and humidity. So we can probably put up with this for couple of days. Here is your future cast. Slight chance of pop up shower today, because it will be hot, humid, but better chance tomorrow. When . Any time after, say, 3 00, 4 00 in the afternoon, cold front comes through, starts to get pretty loud with the thunderstorms. Nothing necessarily severe. But we could hear that thunder and see some lightning, through about 9 00, 10 00. Then by midnight it looks like most that far is out of here. Everything has settled down to the south. Well continue to keep an eye on it, though, because we do think that this same system will probably come back sunday, as a warmfront. More on that later. 71 degrees, in philadelphia right now. And in wilmington, six an in mount pocono. 66 degrees in wildwood. It is not a bad morning out there, but it is a little more humid than it was yesterday. Thanks to those southerly winds. Dew points, we check them during times like this, to let you know how humid it is. Starting to get sticky down in delaware, wilmington and dover, see, those dew points upper 60s, and it is the measure of moisture. So kind of in the range between sticky and un comfortable. On our way to oppressive. Al the temperature, sticky out, there cool beverage would be good idea, right . Only thinking mid 80s for thursday, friday, relief again, from the humidity, and the same for saturday, sunday, is when we get that frontal system coming back, we could get some thunderstorms. So, unsettled weather as we go into the beginning of next week. And that maps out the next seven days. Lets check kacies maps. Thank you, thanks, sue serio. All right, going back out to the southbound side of the northeast extension, still trying to get handle on this, skyfox headed out to the scene. Southbound side just after lansdale, all lanes were shutdown. Earlier this morning, 45 minutes ago, now just the right lane block, weve got two tractortrailer crash there. Sumneytown pike great alternate because there is going to be some pretty hefty delays leading up to the scene. Even though it is not closed. Going to soudertown, Harleysville Pike at allentown road, another accident this morning. Disable truck, in trenton, southbound side of 29, passed canal boulevard blocking the shoulder, but again little bit of jamming there at the scene. Resume the series tonight at the bank. Cliff lee returned from the disable list, pretty rusty. San francisco wins the game seven to four. If you are counting, there are only nine days left. Put in metal detectors at the right field gate only, part of Pilot Program preparing for next years required. I dont have to take off your belt. You dont have to take off your jacket or glasses or anything like that only thing is camera, cell phone, keys. Any smaller objects like rings, jewelry, they can stay on your person. So you go through the metal detectors next year but still need the bags checked. Stems being taken in the wake of tragic events, you know, Boston Marathon bombing, any time big gathering of people, gets together, thats kind of redundant. Casinos closing their doors. One after the other in Atlantic City. Now, robbing places. What can be done to turn Atlantic City around . What do you think the problem is . Is it too much competition . Lets discuss. Well talk about what the mayor of ac thinks, Atlantic City needs. And, maybe youre thinking about getting married in Atlantic City . There is one part of the bridal party. You can skip out on. What cup rest using instead of ring bearer. Nothing breaking news the southbound side of the northeast extension, as you approach lansdale. You see two training tore trailers involved in this crash, trying to get them out of the way. Intermittently blocking all southbound lanes, you can see those headlights there, the police blocking the scene, the right lane was blocked, now, both lanes, again, two tractortrailer crash, shutting down the southbound side of the northeast extension. You can see those taillights on the of the northbound side getting by okay. If you are trying to head southbound this morning, Sumneytown Pike is great alternate. More on this crash, coming up next. Mike . Thanks, kacie. 7 23. Well, the ceasars casino robbed, just latest disappointment for Atlantic City. Whats going on . Last week trump casino employees learned the casino is expected to close on september the 16th. More than 1100 slate today lose their jobs. Steve, i was just looking on twitter, a lot of people responding to my question, what do you think is wrong with ac .
