using police dogs and going through a strip mall parking lot. officers were even looking under some of the cars parked in that area. we do know this was a crash involving a car and a motorcycle. apparently somebody involved in that crash took off from the scene, so it's a large police perimeter in this area. you will see that plus the road closure because of the crash. we are at a staging area at this point, waiting to get briefed from we're hoping it will happen shortly. they told us to come here so we could be updated so as soon as we get that update we will bring it to you but again just a big heads up on traffic in this area because it's going to be a traffic headache trying to get to work or from work this morning. mallory is standing by with a quick check on that. things are already really slowing down in this area, grand avenue shut down in both directions from bethany home to

headache, muscle pain, and chills. ask your doctor or pharmacist about all the risks and benefits of trumenba and tell them if you've received any other meningitis b vaccines. meningitis b can be spread by typical sharing like... a drink... a spoon... a kiss. it all started here... it might have been prevented with trumenba.

checking out -- that the police officer was checking out when the suspect out of nowhere attacked him. the suspect may have moved toward the responding officer who then shot and killed the suspect here at the scene. back out here investigators are trying to identify exactly who the suspect is. police will not say, chris, if he was armed. katie, thanks for the update . meanwhile also breaking at this very momentth the scene. this is the location i should say. police are on the scene of what appears to be a drive-by shooting. one person has been shot at 27th avenue and camelback. the injuries do not appear to be life-threatening. i am looking at the live feeds right now. air15 is not on scene yet but when they are we will get a better idea of what happened here.

we had a bit of everything overnight. >> yes there were several lightning strikes out in the west valley. not a ton of rain but a pretty good show from mother nature. >> and overnight a lot of palm trees. check this out from glendale. it got so close to some homes, too close for comfort but thankfully no houses catching fire as the palm trees burned. i have desert doppler up right now and there's nothing. it's really quiet compared to what we saw around 4:00 or 5:00 this morning. we had this cell moving from the west and all we see right now is it's pretty clear. maybe spotty showers along the loop 11 n., but otherwise not bad. we keep lingering storm chances today. not as hot as we have been and then we have a look at the weekend forecast. i know a lot of you have plans. we made it to friday but here's a look at how temperatures
