have conducted they have confiscated guns, cash, and stolen vehicles. in fact, last night a white truck was towed away from the scene. don't know who that truck belongs to. but obviously it was confiscated as a part of this investigation. a federal marshal also on the scene last night told us tomorrow they are supposed to release more information about how widespread this investigation is and just what it is about. reporting live in oakland. time now just turning 6:48. legendary football coach joe paterno's days as coach at penn state may be over soon. last night a group of supporters gathered outside of pa ternos' home in a show of sharp. hour, the university is reportedly working on an exit strategy? response to a growing child sex abuse scandal. paterno could possibly be let go after a special trustee meeting friday. the coach spoke to the crowd last night. now, he was off camera. however, one microphone picked up his comments about the
