It is, tuesday morning, 6 02, and we are dealing with an overturn tractor trailer on the pennsylvania turnpike. It is westbound lanes at the valley forge off ramp, the off ramp itself is partially block and then again this is something we have been dealing with for last half an hour or so. I just had penndot move a camera around and heres an example of the overturn tractor trailer, right here, it is off ramp from the westbound side. So it looks like traffic is getting through at least for the moment, this just happened a few moments ago so we will see this develop over next half an hour or so. The roosevelt boulevard southbound at fifth street an accident in the outer drive, peco power play, repair crews on the scene flourtown roadblock between colonial and joshua, from an Early Morning accident, peco says probably through at least morning rush hour before repairs can be hade, north on 295, an accident approaching the 42 freeway. Things have gone south here, in the last half an hour or so we are dealing with some drizzle, road are wet, dealing with some fog, and like here on the been minute franklin bridge you can see Poor Visibility going downhill here , in the last half an hour or so and expect delays this morning, at philly international. Mike and alex, welcome back. Back to you. Oh, good to see you bob kelly. A father is in serious condition this morning after a hand storms into his frankford home and starts shooting up the place. Police say it happened late last night on the 1900 block of pratt street. Were getting out to steve, who is right here near there, steve. Reporter this is typical philadelphia, a bunch of row houses and Philadelphia Police will tell you you do not need masters degree in criminology to know people just dont pick a row house in the middle of the block at five of 11 00 at night as soon as the family gets through this front door without thinking these people have something of value in there. So the initial thought by police is that this could be drug dealing, and so look at the trent door still open and chris will go close to the steps. Come closer back to me and see two windows shot out in the struggle. Eleven shots fired between home owner who was armed at that front door and then maybe two Home Invaders also arm. One kill. Home own are shot in the face and leg, but is expect to survive. His wife were four young daughters, stairwell right on the other side of the trent door they just walk this, she was going up the steps with the four kids and none of them hurt and they are now with family. The mom with homicide detectives and police have access to the the house and maybe coming pack with a search warrant to see, and search for what the Home Invaders came here to search for but next door, chris will show you, people just 5 feet the away had surveillance camera which should help in the investigation. Here we go starting new year with the same old mayhem, alex and mike. Same old mayhem, that is for sure, thanks, steve. 6 05. We are following a developing story out of West Philadelphia several fox 29 viewers sent us video of the fight and they are asking for answers. The viewers say it started with a large brawl on 54th street around 4 00 he clock and police were call to the scene, heres video right here they intended to break up this confrontation and that is when things got weird. During altercation video shows an officer pushing a woman, who intern, puts their hand on the officers and then this, you can see the officer was sitting, punching her and dragging her by her hair have the we have reached out to Philadelphia Police. They say they are aware and internal affairs is investigating. They did not confirm any arrests though. Local guy who was a victim of the terror attacks in istanbul is back home this morning. Jake raak of greenville, delaware landed at philly International Last night, partying at a turkish nightclub on new years eve when a gunman opened fire. Raak says he was one of seven people in his group, that were shot, and said he survived by playing dead after he was shot the terror attack killed 39 people. Raak spoke to reporters right before he boarded a plane, to philadelphia. All i can say is it is just a traj difficult. It is very unfortunate. I dont want to talk about what happened inside of the club. It is a very good country. It is so unfortunate that this is happening to you guys. Well, welcome home, jake. The shooter, caught on surveillance camera has not been arrested yet. Isis has claimed responsibility for this attack 6 07. Were you watching last night . Penn state u. S. C. They put on a show in the rose bowl game and it came down to the final seconds. It came down to a pick. I think the game is still going on actually. One of the teams is still scoring, penn state trailed early, in fact, they trailed often but they came storming back behind running back Saquon Barkley. Man, he is good. In the third, he goes 79 yards for a touchdown, penn state is up 2827, later barkley catching a pass for a score, as part of the 28point Third Quarter for Nittany Lions. But, u. S. C. Would come storming back. Tied it at 49 late in the game and then that happens penn state going for the win. Quarterback trace mcsorely with that long pass, was pick off, and then set up a field goal for a heart breaking loss for penn state and the seniors who have been through so much over the years in the time that penn state are pretty devastating. These seniors like malik, you know, his last time he will be in the locker room with those guys, that is probably the thing, that is probably the thing that hurts me the most. We just put so much effort into this season and it hurts. It is first time i have ever cried after a loss this college. Many of the players had their head down to the ground crying. Last nights game was the highest scoring rose bowl, ever. Saquon barkley finish the game with almost 200yard in rushing, 55 receiving yards and three total touchdowns for the Nittany Lions. We will talk more about it throughout the daytoday because that is all that is on the mind of penn state alum thigh. You cannot blame them for being so upset. No. What a season. They had it. They had it. Should they have thrown that long pass or just send tonight overtime, lieutenant of questions. Isnt that the debate do you go for win or go into overtime. I say you go for the win. Yes. But then see how it turnout he under threw the pass. We will discuss it some more. How about this the story of a solder we have talk about for days, home coming takes an awful turn, what happened, to austin freeney. After the mummers parade, that has him in the hospital, with a jaw wired shut. Just disgusting. And frustration boil over at airports across the country , the problem with costumes that had thousands of people, waiting in line for hours. Welcome home. 6 11 on this tuesday. Yes. It feels like a long day, doesnt it. It does. It feels like a tuesday, because it is tuesday. Anyway, lets get back to this because it makes me sick, an Army Serviceman is beat up after leaving the mummers parade, new years day that solder is the same man, who made it home for the who will taste, thanks to the generosity of a complete stranger, a good day viewer. So you really remember austin freeney but wont recognize him looking at this photo. His mother says he needs his broken jaw wired shut after being attacked by several men at third and oregon around 10 30 monday night. She said it started with a dozen men between 18 and 20, ripping austin for wearing his army jacket. She said one person punched austin as he was on the phone and others joined in. The as she and austins girlfriend tried to intervene they were also punched. How anyone can put town the military, it is just, it makes no sense to me. These are guys that give up their lives, to fight for our freedom, and youre going to beat them down. Im dumbfounded. You will remember austin this way because he was part of the heart warming home coming will we told but just before christmas. Remember a strange her covered austins airfare, to fly higham to atco, new jersey from fort bening, georgia, his mom could not afford the airfare, and they were so happy once he finally came home we had them on the show here on good day, just two weeks ago. He was such a nice, young man, only 19 years old. You could see love he and his hotter shared. Just horrible. He wont be able to get to the middle east just yet to stay home to recover. He gets beat up by a bunch of drunken idiots. His mouth is wired shut, eight weeks. Yes. Stupid. Unbelievable. Dopes, track down these creeps. 6 13. Has hat situation turns deadly in texas, what police say poisoned several people inside of their own homes. Including the kid. 1 16. If this is your tuesday that feels like a monday it will be a lot like monday with more rain on the way. Difference, were starting off this morning at this hour milder, just enough that we have temperatures that air above freezing every where but the higher elevations. So most of us in the upper 30 s and 40s, but the difference between yesterday and today we have got a lot of fog out there in reading, in allentown, up in mount pocono, only threequarters of a mile visibility. We are down to 4 miles at philly international. Here it comes, it is on the doorstep the rain has not entered delaware just yet the but on the way and the arrival time lets say six or seven or 8 00 oclock i should say by 9 00 it is still raining on and off. Some rain heavier at times through lunchtime, yucky day. By 7 00 the major rain is out of here. We will have a few left over showers. It stays mild for a little while on wednesday and then middle of the day temperatures start to plunge and with cold air, in place, early try morning or if you prefer late thursday night, we could start to see especially south and east of philadelphia a little bit of light, snow, still got a lit built of model disagreement with those computer models about how much , when, where, and all that but the possibility is definitely there on friday. Rainy gannon today. Temperatures plunge again tomorrow and get ready to be cold through the weekend and even through monday of next week with daytime highs, been kelly, only in the zeros.

Inn sending this in overtime take a shot down the field and it is pick off, what a terrible, bad coaching decision and that set up this, a game winning field goal, for the trojans.
