Ten in mount pocono. Twelve in lancaster. Thirteen atlantic city. And windchills little cooler than the actual temperature. But not as much as yesterday. Now the winds have changed direction. Which means it will be a little bit milder than it was yesterday as well. Nothing on radar. So lets get right to the planner. Sunshine all day, but we still be in the mid 30s, at lunchtime. Topping off at 40 degrees, later on. Bob kelly . Sue, good morning, coming up on 6 02 this chilly wednesday, hump day. So far so good on the pennsylvania turnpike. It has been quiet, until just few moments ago, and it went bamm an accident here, on 95. This is a live look, right below our camera here, look at this fellow here. Kissing the concrete barrier, this is southbound lanes of i95 right near route 413. So there is a lot of police and activity here, only got the one lane. So if you are leaving bucks county, heading south into the city, watch for that delay. And then an accident right in front of 30th street station, along Market Street, right at schuylkill avenue, which is right out thereby the new pad yo they put in in front of 30th street.

Us gee logical survey pick up a reading of 5. 1 on the richter scale. And back here at home, police shoot and kill a man in upper darby. Officers say they were called out to an apartment on bishop avenue last night for report of a soup sidal man with a knife. Police say the manna poached officers on the scene with that knife. Officers ordered him to drop t they even tazed him, but they say he still came at police. Officers say they fired four to five shots at the man. He died at the scene. His name has not been released. No officers were hurt. Day of cell phones and youtube videos, a video can spread around the world quickly. This certainly can spread across the country. And it was shot in our area. Video in High School Basketball last night is getting major attention t appears to show a teams coach in a incident, well, more than an incident, with a referee. This got him kicked out. Drives in. Scoops it. And no basket it. Offensive foul. No basket. Offensive towel, technical. Oh. And jerry devine bumps the official, the official goes down, so that should be two technicals. And hes gone. So there it is, you almost cant believe it. I know it. Looks like he head butted the referee there, steve. Steve, where are you, what school . Reporter it does not look like he head butt the referee to me, thats the problem here, the reason this headline on espn may be wrong as well, Neshaminy High School appears to red butt head butt, because. Head butt words, thats why the story has gone viral. We have moved from the school here to police headquarters, in the past 90 minutes, and the reason we did was because there has become such a social and tv media sensation overnight, the police are investigating, and the chief being the excellent Public Servant that he is, actually, came in at 5 00 a. M. , just to handle all of our questions, even though, it is likely not such a big deal, or even a crime, or probably shouldnt even involve the police. Now, if you havent seen what weve been talking about here, here, again, video number one, High School Basketball game, neshaminy down by four. And you heard less than 30 seconds left. Neshaminy drives and scores. But the ref says no basket. Offensive foul. Thats when neshaminy coach jerry devine strongly disagrees, and appears there is some contact with the ref likely a chest bump, the ref against guess goes down, define tossed. Different angle, closer, from the stands it appears maybe just a chest bump, because you see coach devines head go to the side. So far no comment, from coach devine, or anybody, with Neshaminy High School or the School District. But police chief came in to answer what he could, after his officers woke him up at two a. M. And toll him hey you better come in and hand you will all of the calls were getting on this. We were never called out to the high school for 90 dent let alone this. So the only information we have is what we have on video. But you will investigate it . Ill investigate t but i cant comment any further. The only information we have is whats on the video right now. And you will reach out to the coach or reach out to the ref . Well do an investigation, reach out to anyone who might have witness philadelphia firsthand, see what we can come up with. Well just take it from there. Generally, incidents like this, athletics, are not police business. Ive im not going to comment on. That will were the police, we are see if anything criminal occurredment nothing criminal occurred then we wont be involved. It will be up to the school, any governing body overseas High School Sports in the county to decide what theyll do. Well, jerry deveins main job at america a. M.

And maybe why he so strongly disagreed with that call. Strongly. Total control. If he leads with his head, steve, but his chest is big, so his chest looks like it hits first.
