Reduced visability to the north of us, at philly international, it is four whiles, even less the Atlantic City airport but temperatures are mostly above freezing unless you are in the mountains, most of us in the 40s, at philadelphia, and south, you can see rain edging into delaware, northeastern, maryland, Chester County, Lancaster County wont be long before it is back here in philadelphia now look down at virginia, west virginia, it shows heavy downpours on the way, so yes, dont forget rain gear. 41 degrees.

An update on this accident on the pennsylvania turnpike, even the turnpike didnt know what direction were looking at here. Im looking at pictures thinking wait a minute, that is on ramp from valley forge, so heres the deal, it is valley forge on ramp to go wednesday out towards downingtown, the the big lines here, sharp curve is the westbound on ramp. There is the tractor trailer, laying, on the concrete barrier. So this will impact everybody, getting on, at valley forge, trying to go west. Heres off ramp from the east and westbound side probably a lane blockage but all of the activity is going to impact the on ramp to go west at downingtown. Heres the look at ben franklin bridge as visibility slowly every 15 minutes or so gets knocked down. We have a ground stop at Chicago Ohare International airport. That is going to have a domino effect here in philadelphia so expect delays heading to the airport. Mike and alex, back over to you. 7 05 now. A father is in serious condition after a man storms into his frankford home and started shooting. Police say that it happened late last night, along the 1900 block of pratt street, and right in the hid will of a block of row homes. That is where steve keeley is, steve . Reporter yeah, as soon as police got the here they realized these Home Invaders knew what house and why they wanted to hit and what they expected to get when they hit it. Do you see trent door, glass shattered there. Two windows next to the front door also blown out by one of the or two of the 11 shots fired and what happened was that this home owner is arm, he gets home here, five of 11 00 with his wife. She is just 24. The kid four daughters, as young as five months old, and oldest only five years old, the stairwell is right through front door. So wife on the steps taking kid upstairs. The man barely gets front door shut these two guys knock and push their way in. This home owner goes for his gun because he realizes they are not here selling vacuum cleaners. They also had guns, and shootout occurs almost instantly as the guy gets home they are shooting at each other. And fortunately the home owner lives, he is shot in the face, and still is able to shoot back, one of the Home Invaders is killed. The second perpetrator fled the scene, on foot, and last seen running west in the 1900 block of pratt street. He is described as a male, tall, thin, wearing all dark clothing. So, preliminary information is that this was a Home Invasion robbery where the perpetrators were met by the 27 yearold home owner who had a gun of his own. One of the perpetrators, at least one of the perpetrators, firing a shot striking the home owner. Home owner returned fire striking and killing one of the perpetrators. Fortunate liz along the 1900 block of pratt street where our second perpetrator fled the scene, we did find, several exterior surveillance cameras. Reporter they didnt have to go far to find first of those surveillance cameras, right next door, 5 feet away from where the shootout is, it is this warning sign you see here of prominent for anybody to see walking on the sidewalk, warning you are under surveillance. That didnt stop these two Home Invaders who alex and mike, likely werent here to get what the five little girls got from santa under the tree when they came barge go through if you get our drift. I get it for sure. Were following developing story out of West Philadelphia several fox 29 viewers sent us a video of the fight and now they are asking for answers. Viewers say that it started with a large brawl as you can see here on 54th street around 4 00. Police were called to the scene and attempted to break up the confrontation. That is when things got more intense. During the altercation, video shows an officer pushing a woman who in turn puts her hands on the officer, and appears to be a female officer the officer is shown sitting on the woman punching her and dragging her by her hair. We have reached out from philadelphia police. We expect to hear from commissioner ross. Lauren johnson is waiting for him outside the round house right now. An Army Serviceman who we got to know pretty well, he is beat up after leaving the mummers day. The solder is the same man who made it home for the holidays thanks to one of our viewers and generosity, someone sent him a full Airline Ticket to come up from fort bening georgia, to be back in philadelphia to be with his family. We have followed the family back, when we found out over the phone, and there it is, this is the moment when they were reunited and he is just 19 years old, officer freeney, as part of the heart warming home coming. Then we brought tell on good day and we talk about how excite they had were he was home and all of the things he wanted to do. Well, the stranger, as mike mentioned covered the airfare and everything but the mom could not after the ticket. Since being home things have taken a drastic turn. Freeneys mother says he needs his broken jaw wired shut after being attacked by several men at third and oregon in south philadelphia around 10 30 monday night. She said that nearly a dozen men between 18 and 20 years old were given austin a hard time for wearing his army jacket. Then one person, punched austin as he was on the phone and others joined in, and then a austins girlfriend and she tried to intervene and they were also punched. How anyone can put down the military, it is just, it makes no sense to me. These guys give up their lives to fight for our freedom, and you are going to beat them down. It the is just im dumbfounded so austin now will likely miss his upcoming deployment to the middle east because he needs to stay home to recover. Once his mouth is wired shut that is about eight weeks he will be out. That is horrible. Ridiculous. Throw some people in jail. Congress returns to work today in washington d. C. With republicans being anxious to start dismantling president obamas policies, some of them , and democrats talking about making life difficult for president elect trump. What a way to start the new year. Fun day it will be. Hi there, doug. Reporter good morning, yeah. You can judge how consequential this congress may be based on the high profile visitors this week alone. President obama will make a rare appearance on capitol hill tomorrow to meet with democrats to figure out how to save obama care. Republicans, meantime will have a strategy session with vicepresident elect mike pence the gleaming dome of the congress has been redone, after a massive construction and restoration process but inside it is all about dcon strucking president obamas agenda especially for newly elect republicans, it is a heavy time. It is time to, you know, get our game face on and get working here. Reporter for g. O. P. , the number one target is obama care and that is reason president obama will head to the hill tomorrow, to try to figure out how to save his Signature Health care law. For republicans the real challenge may be unifying around a plan that somehow saves some of the more popular aspects of the program, while getting rid of the things like the individual mandate to obtain and purchase insurance. Hard parties replace. We will have a lot of plans for a number of years now but this time they have to pick one and that is a party you night behind it and pass it, that is going to take some hard work. Reporter democrats will mount aggressive plays as well , planning on making it as difficult as possible for president elect trump to win confirmation for his cabinet picks. Specifically tarring eight of them for long, drag out battles that could continue for weeks beyond the inauguration. Already raising ire of trumps team. Is there a difference between opposing people on policy and allowing people to have constitutional, the president to have the constitutional right to choose his cabinet as long as they are qualified. Each one of these people is unbelievably qualified to serve and to bring real change to the various departments that are under the government. Reporter another fault line here on capitol hill involves office of congressional ethics. Republicans voted to largely, dismantle it or restructure it in a major way. The democrats are how long over that. Mike and alex. How long. Yes. It sound just like that, isnt it strange. Especially in the halls of congress. It echoes like that too. It is. Hey doug, did you notice that Celebrity Apprentice is on again. Reporter that is right, with air held in, right. With arnold.
