Mike and alex, back over to you. Terrifying moments for family in chester when their home goes under a hill of gunfire. Dave kinchen on the story in chester. Dave. Mike and alex, absolutely horrible this all went down around late dinner time here in chester. Now Chester Police are looking into this very closely this boy was shot with his parents very close by and around 10 00 n the 400 block of winning ton place. Police say fiveyear old was standing inside the house inches from his parents and his mother was cooking late dinner when shots were heard from outside the home coming inside the mother of four, told police she grabbed her two youngest children down to the floor and immediately as father got right on top of them covering them with his body, the mother telling cops that she saw the shots rip through her curtain and knock them off the walls. Fiftynine yearold victim told his parents he could not believe. They found blood a wound on his body. He was taken to crozerchester Medical Center alert and conscious the whole time. Both parents were telling him several times to keep thinking about his upcoming Birthday Party. That was a way to keep him calm. A bullet entered under the boys left arm and remains lodged near his left shoulder. New thankfully police say he is expected to survive, at the hospital still now. Police dont have the shooter. They dont have the weapon at this point. They dont know why this happened or if this was a stray bullet, it is all unclear they are working hard to get those questions answers and get this person off the street, mike and alex. All right. And then, exactly, another pizza delivery man, shot. And all trying to deliver that pizza shot execution style, so lets get to steve keeley with the details near that pizza shop. Reporter this crime, again, proves how little criminals think ahead before they committees crimes when they called, chillin pizza on elmwood for an order they were ordering up a robbery to go. Not thinking that pizza delivery guys are pizza delivery guys in the first place because they dont have enough money on them. After getting 60 that is more than most carry they took off in his old beat up toy yet a correspondence role a which we have video after after they left it running three blocks from where they shot him in the back of the head, turning a small run of the mill robbery into a potential life sentence crime for murder if in the for survival instincts of this driver. They take him out, they go through his pockets, they get 60 out and tell him it is not enough. They tell him get on his knees. He returns to the car, acts as if he will run him over on his knees, he tries to get up and run one time at that point they put him back on the ground again and they continue to ask for more money. They will get back in the car and on his knees and they get back in the car he hears one shot gets hit one time, and running screaming for help. We have numerous neighbors telling we can hear him screaming. Fortunately officers were able to get him in the back of the police car and get him to the hospital. Police will check cell phones records to trace that phone because not only did they use to call in the disorder the delivery man called it when he showed up with the order. So they have two calls to this phone. If it is a burner phone even, maybe they can still somehow be traced. The other help might be all of the surveillance cameras on the street, 57 where they abandoned his car, they park it neatly, parallel parked it and walked away leaving it running but who knows if they walk in the path of so many surveillance camera that we see that are so helpful in involving crimes like this. A stooper crime, that is committed by stupid guys that dont deserve to be out on the street. Polls have already opened, and they have been opened for an hour now in new jersey.

Hillary clinton has apparently done it, according to an Associated Press account, she has lock down enough delegates, especially super delegates to secure the democratic nomination. That is just as polls opened this morning on this last big day in six states. The timing of this announcement, doug, i dont like it. Heres doug. Reporter the Associated Press is raising some eyebrows by making this call given the fact that so many folks havent had a chance to go to the polls. There are almost 700 delegates in place. Argument for ap is so many super delegates, Party Insiders committed to Hillary Clinton that the results today really wont matter. Hillary clinton has already locked down the nomination. Hillary clinton with the big crowd for a final get out the vote push in california, that may not even be necessary now. According to the news we are in the brink of a historic historic unprecedented moment. Ap says clinton has enough pledged and Party Insider super delegates to win the democratic nomination. It has been a long road for clinton and surprisingly difficult battle with Bernie Sanders, who remains defiant despite latest count. There is nothing to concede. Secretary clinton will not have the requisite number of pledged delegates to win the democratic nom nation. She will be dependent on super delegates. They vote in july 2,025th. Sanders is correct those super delegates could change their mind before the convention but there is no evidence of any real movement. Sanders is running into more pressure to drop out. Reports phone call with president obama over weekend who is clearly anxious to start campaigning. Risk for clinton is supporters of the sanders will see this as more evidence of a rigged system run by insiders. What will be interesting with the super delegates if they stay or constituent supported Bernie Sanders as they go to the convention and they support hillary. Im bernie supporters im calling into question is what your motivation are you as some kind of super dup are delegate that tells me my vet dont count but yours does. Reporter Hillary Clinton need those sanders supporters, young, enthusiastic supporters of Bernie Sanders to eventually back her until the general election. Look at states in play ones that matter new jersey, and california. But especially california because it is such a tight race between sanders and clinton. First of all, i love the guy, the sound bite too. Super scoop every delegates. My vote dont count. He is an advisor to Bernie Sanders. He clearly has a horse in this race. Yes. Doug, thanks. 7 14.

Do you live in margate . What do you think of this. The current of ventnor, that would be a newspaper, margate and longport is reporting that margate city commissioners have agreed to end their fight to stop dunes from being built in the town. Residents and city leaders have been fighting the states plan to build protective dunes along the entire new jersey coast since hurricane sandy.

Ninth inning come back not quite enough for phillies as they open up a series at home with one of the best teams in baseball, the chicago cubs. The phillies trailed six to nothing in the bottom of the ninth, and scored four runs home run by Freddie Galvis and first base man tommy joseph. Too little too late, phillies go on to lose sixfour but keep fighting in the bottom of the ninth. Heres something that is interesting, ryan howard did pinch hit the with two outs in the ninth inning last night. He hit it hard, real hard but grounded out to end the game, no beer bottles thrown at him after that. It was exact same situation saturday. He grounded out as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning on saturday. We talk to him bit and he had more to say about it the guy who threw a bottle at him. Everybody in whatever field they do whether you change oil, whether you work at a Grocery Store or whatever if someone came in and threw a beer bottle the at you, you would be upset.

Very disappointed. I wish that to be honest ryan could get his hand on him and beat the hell out of him. That would be the appropriate response. I would have kick his bleep personally. Just giving him a little will warning or ticket if that does president do that situation justice. Just get him in the batting cage for 15 minutes and whatever happens, happens. Wow. Oh, man. I didnt see that until right now. I didnt see that. That should have been way up higher in the show, that should have been in the round up.
