Lauren, thanks very much. Developing right now, Haddon Township police have two important clues, as they are trying to figure out a luring case, of a child, that luckily did not get in that vehicle. So there is a picture of the suspect vehicle that they think and is there composite sketch of the guy who was behind the wheel, so they want to get him off the street because they are concern. They say it was a girl who was riding a bike and that guy came up in his car and then said that he wanted to pick her up. Well, she knew what to do she rode away and told her parents it happened sunday in the 200 block of addison avenue in the west mount area guy in his 30 s, 40s, dark hair, glasses , the car he was driving is etan, four door vehicle with new jersey plates really hectic scene in north philadelphia and then a guy opens fire on police and he hits a home where there was a family inside watching their own television, eventually he ended up being shot by police. Lets get over to steve keeley with what we have learned, steve. Reporter that was second straight monday, it happened again monday and then again yesterday that stray bullets fired outside, come inside a home, real close to kid and a mom, and in a bedroom, how about that for a coincidence and the other good coincidence is that somehow, these bullets just missed everybody again but again close to their head and again, luckily they werent standing up or they may have got shot like last week they were laying in bed even though mid afternoon because they were watching a movie on cable. Last week on b street. Yesterday on north fair hill street and it was only 4 30 when police say neighbors called 911, and they say go pulled up, he get out, he seems under the influence of some has hallucination and he locks and loads the gun in front of everybody. Everybody takes cover. A mother with four kid. When first police show up this guy fires two shots at them and then this house was behind the cops. Guy missed the cops and then hit the house. I was there in my moms room watching tv and bullet went fly through window. It went in the window and shelf above her head, you know , right where she is. The officers came here, you know as a result of the citizen call, encountered a male, saw he was arm, male engage police, fired and the police were forced to return fire. By the time i came downstairs i seen suspect on the ground and they had him in cuffs and put him in the car and he was off. Reporter family was not hit cops were not hit by guy was hit but critical but stable. He appeared to be either like 19 or 20 some years old and they dont even know hoe was. The last thing they knew about the car was it had new jersey plates on it and it came back as being carjacked over in south jersey. This guy may have been involved in other Violent Crime before he made to it philadelphia on north fair hill and isnt charged with murder and luckily is alive as well, even though these cops are good shots they just did enough to take him out and get everybody safe and not take his life, karen. Steve, thank you. Lots of good information there 5 08. Activist are calling for justice in the Police Involved shooting that left a 30 yearold man dead, it happened in north philadelphia. Demonstrators there on Market Street in center city in honor of david jones yesterday. You may remember he died in june after a Philadelphia Police officer ryan palmer shot and killed him. Police say jones was riding recollect restly and reached for a gun before the officer shot him. Prosecutors shut down a city hall news conference, protesters shut down that news conference. City Council President darryl clark issued a statement reading in part because of the circumstance necessary which mr. Jones was shot and killed, including conflicting witness accounts, and the troubling fact that he was shot from behind, we need a thorough investigation. The d. A. s office has referred this matter over to the ags office due to a conflict in that case.
