live in haverford, matt delucia, "nbc 10 news." >> good advice. thanks, matt. as quickly as packages are delivered some thieves are as fast to take advantage of boxes left at your door. this video was taken in delaware. ahead, what you can do to protect your gifts. two teens were shot in west philadelphia overnight and one did not survive. it happened on crayton street. both teens went to the hospital. one is in critical condition. police are trying to determine the motive. in delaware county, the family of a teenager found shot to death wants to know what happened, on sunday night a crowd gathered at the youth league football field in west philadelphia where a 15-year-old left his home after a family argument in late november. officers found his body in the back seat of a car on friday in north philadelphia, a few days

>> i know there has been a lot of noise from outside the building especially after the thanksgiving day game, but you know, it doesn't seem to affect us. >> we saw what the redskins did, we knew we had to go out and win again. >> also of note yesterday bills running back lasean mccoy embraced birds owner jeffrey lury before the game. shady ran for 74 yards, the former coach chip kelly denied reports that mccoy hung up on him when kelly called him on the phone last week. >> a lot of it to me is tabloid journalism. it doesn't affect us. it's a well coached team that has good players. when people want to make up false stories about me calling and hanging up i think i mean trying to make themselves significant. >> significant or not take a look at lasean mccoy flipping his lid. there you go. our cameras caught shady tossing his helmet after he came off the

field from the buffaloes loss. a few minutes later mccoy gave the silent treatment as he left the locker room. his friction with the eagles stems from his trade to buffalo for a linebacker. the first place eagles return to prime time when they host the cardinals here on nbc 10. >> talk about the weather now. the weekend warm-up created a december to remember for plenty of people. take a look. no winter blues here. spring fever. 70 degree temperatures, neighbors in drexel hill had snowflakes falling all around them. wasn wasn't exactly snow. the kids still had a taste of winter. >> it smells really good. >> the only snow you get for a bit. >> yeah. >> this is bubble bath that i mixed. >> not a bad way to spend the weekend. the outdoor activities continued

new jersey into pennsylvania. a little farther south and fog-free, but there's a chance that we'll see late day showers in the entire area. right now it's dry on the radar. looks to the west, and you see large storm system that is producing some snow over kansas and nebraska, it's going to be rain for us. before the rain gets here another big warm-up. 62 degrees in the pocono mountains. bethlehem and pennsburg in the middle 60s. foggy start this morning. but this afternoon with clouds,p moorestown 70 degrees, 67 in sauder town. some areas to start with, 66 in cape may. the 70s for symrna and milford and philadelphia a foggy start but the fog will clear later this morning and then the temperatures take off. 67 in malvern, 70 for ber min and philadelphia. look at the weekend forecast when things look different when i'm back in 10 minutes. >> remember, you can track the rain as it moves into the area

directions. today marks three years since the sandy hook massacre killed 20 children and six educators. next, how one high school in connecticut is honoring the victims with kindness. why the community hopes it's a lesson that will live on well beyond today. also next, on a roll. the eagles are back in the playoff fight winning the last two games. something else that's going on with the birds.

closing arguments are set to begin today in the trial of a baltimore police officer accused in the death of freddie gray. officer william porter is the

first of six officers to stand trial for gray's death. he is charged with manslaughter. gray died in april while in police custody after breaking his neck in the back of a police van. his death sparked riots in the city and across the country. it became a rallying cry for the black lives matter movement. a verdict could be reached this week. >> today marks the third anniversary of the mass shooting at sandy hook elementary school in newtown, connecticut. it killed 20 children and six educators. the gun men who had mental health problems committed suicide as police closed in. the school was demolished in 2013, a new school being built is expected to open a year from now. today connecticut's governor ordered flags be lowered to half staff, tonight the newtown community will gather for an interfaith church service. a high school in fair field, connecticut is honoring the victims with 26 days of kindness. some students are writing letters to thank the first responders in newtown and

elsewhere, others are donating food and blankets to the homeless. the teens say it makes perfect sense. >> dear newtown teacher. >> first responders. >> dear newtown police officers. >> i wanted to let them know they were appreciated and their job was selfless. >> we're not just remembering something bad that happened. trying to counter that with good. >> you spread like one good idea and it becomes like a good disease. >> the students and teachers say they now consider the kindness program part of the curriculum. >> later on this morning in our area, state lawmaker from bucks county will mark the sandy hook a anniversary in an event. they will be at snipes farm to remember the victims. there they will renew the call for universal background checks for gun purchasers. los angeles, a deadly shooting involving police was captured on cell phone and sparking

protests. 33 shots were fired in less than 25 seconds. a warning, this video you're about to see is graphic. there were tense moments as two deputies opened fire on 28-year-old nicolas robertson. investigators say he was armed with a gun. deputies say robertson ignored commands and continued to walk toward a gas station refusing to drop his weapon. we paused the stroovideo. robinson falls and tries to crawl away. >> he was crawling on his knees. they kept shooting. why. >> you see the suspect entering the frame, weapon in hand. he was behaving erratically, oddly and bizarre fashion. >> authorities have released three 911 calls from witnesses who saw a man firing gun shots in the air before police

arrived. it's unclear how many of the shots hit robertson. friends and family of the father of three taken to the streets in outrage. the community activists are calling for an independent investigation. it has been one month since the terror attacks in paris. when 130 people died. yesterday, parisians paid tribute to the victims outside the concert hall. 90 people were killed there. candles, flowers and photos line the streets outside the venue. the area has become somewhat of a makeshift shrine. france is still under a state of emergency. >> authorities continue to search for suspects involved in the attacks. only one person believed to be directly linked to the shootings and bombing escaped and believed to be in syria. keep your shirt on. that's a winning theme for the eagles as they continue their role at a crucial point in the

season. john clark has the story. >> reporter: so how did the eagles turn around their season after those three straight horrible losses in november? the players said chip kelly kept this team believing and some eagles told me they were confident because sam bradford was returning. sam has won six of the last eight games he has started and finished. and the birds now have their theme for the season. they are all wearing the shirts 53 angry men. the owner told them before and after the win in new england, play bleeping angry. so these angry birds are now 2-0 since that, playing with anger, passion, and emotion. >> 53 angry birds. it came the from mr. lury. he was pretty pissed off so we had to feed off his energy. it's a good logo. it's a good shirt. >> great way to look at it. at the end of the day this is an

aggressive game. we got to come out there angry and you know, play tough. >> man, jeff lury say play angry that what it means. we've been playing angry the last two weeks, i'm happy that you know, everybody as far as our team hasn't quit on each other. >> reporter: eagles won two straight for the first time in two months and they are tied for the division lead. at lincoln financial field, i'm john clark for comcast sportsnet. >> remember this from two years ago. they called it the snow bowl. the eagles beat the lions in these fluffy snowy conditions at the linc. if you were there you know how cold it was. if you watched on tv you were grateful you weren't there. probably made you shiver. even if you weren't there, there was plenty of shoveling to do in the wake of that storm. we don't have anything like that. this is what we deal with, dense

fog and it's widespread. this is a view from here at the studios, the temperature is warm, 54 degrees. fog at philadelphia international with the visibility down to 1/8 mile. and it's going to be slow to clear. even extends to the pocono mountains, this is a live view from camelback which has dense fog. some spots seeing zero visibility. coatesville, blue bell down to a quarter mile. that's thick. zero right now in mount pocono and hazelton has quarter mile visibility. fog for trenton, northeast philadelphia, mount holly and wrightstown. wilmington airport, quarter mile visibility as well. fog to start with and once the fog clears we'll see a mostly cloudy day. we're not going to get much sunshine at all. maybe a break or two. but we'll get later in the day is some rain. a little bit of mist this morning or this afternoon. but here comes the rain by late in the afternoon our futurecast showing 4:00, just the hint of

rain starting. but some pretty good downpours during the evening commute. coming through pennsylvania and into new jersey. 6:00 in the evening, by later in the evening still scattered showers around by 11:00 but those will be clearing out overnight tonight by then. from a quarter inch at the shore to half inch in philadelphia, to more than an inch for reading. and it will be warm through it all. but that changes this weekend. here comes december cold. and a gusty wind on saturday. 43 the high temperature. it will feel like it's in the 30s and sunday afternoon we'll be warmer but nothing like last weekend. got the full seven-day forecast coming up in the next half hour. >> looking forward to it. 4:22 on monday. katy is keeping an eye on the traffic cameras and 95 still an issue. >> we do. and i learned a little more pause there are multiple vehicles in this accident i'm seeing on 95 and i have a bert

location. there is a lane restriction on 95 southbound around the efington area between exits 9 and 8. that's as you headed southbound. be aware of that. it's not tying things up considerably because there are few cars on the roadway. you can see in that area that dense fog is playing a role in just people's commute. we know from state police out there at the scene it is incredibly foggy where that deadly accident happened. this is in new jersey, a live look at route 30 at interstate i-295 you can see foggy conditions in hadden heights. if you are taking it from new jersey into pennsylvania, there is patchy fog on a number of them but so far no speed restrictions have been lifted for those. >> thanks, katy. parishioners call it an eye opening experience at sunday mass. it's because of these open doors. next we'll explain why this was the first for the bishop of camden. it's all thanks to a change in tradition started by pope

francis. >> welcoming home a winner. as the eagles play for a playoff bid, philadelphia already has a championship football team. we'll have the details on this coming up.

francis. an open door hold as special meaning for the catholic church this time of year. the bishop of camden opened the doors of the cathedral yesterday morning before mass. the ceremonial opening of the holy door marks the start of the catholic church's holy year of mercy. normally only the doors of the basilica in rome can be opened

but the pope broke with the tradition having catholics make the pilgrimage to rome. he ordered doors to be thrown open as a sign of inclusion and forgiveness and did the same in rome. a champion's welcome for a local football team. not the eagles. a little more to do. this is in germantown as the northwest raiders arrived home following a national championship win in florida. the second consecutive title for the team. >> last year was a great feeling, today even greater knowing that we represent philadelphia in a good light. >> exciting. a moment to remember. a life long moment. >> after falling behind 19-0 the raiders here scored 34 unanswered points to win the championship.

4:28 now and it is warm. and foggy too. you can see light fog at cape may. but much of the rest of the area is socked in. the hour by hour forecast ahead. katy zachry is watching the effects of the fog on the roadways. >> hi, bill in parts incredibly foggy. this is i-95 around the philadelphia international airport. not far south from here we are following a deadly accident that is causing a lane restriction on 95 south in the efington area.
