changes that drained the team of its best players. many of those players left angry and some made claims with racial overtones. >> wouldn't talk to people. you walk down the hallway, he wouldn't say anything. >> nothing. >> eagles owner jeffrey lurie tapped pat shurmur to replace kelly this sunday. we'll have more on what he said about the firing coming up in a few minutes. so this season has been one of frustration and disappointment for the eagles fans and something had to give. nbc 10's matt delucia is live in south philadelphia outside the melrose diner where news of kelly's firing is the talk of the town. matt. >> reporter: yeah, tracy, a lot of frustration this morning. a lot of people expected that chip kelly might get fired but not with one game still left in this season. no question 6-9 here, so far, after chip made that big change

over the off season, trading players and assuming control of the entire personnel. especially now with a few days ago, here there were still some hope really that there would be a playoff chance, a chance to win the nfc east but no more and no more chip kelly. he didn't get to finish the third season with the keeagles. we talked with fans after 7:00 last night and people were really discussing what happened out here. >> i feel like he didn't really do his job as a coach. i feel maybe he was bert as a college coach not nfl coach. >> get rid of key players, you had inexperienced players and you can't run a team that way. >> i feel sorry for the guy. i do. >> reporter: and i'll be getting more reaction from fans

throughout the morning, people still waking up coming out here getting their cup of coffee. one of the big questions really at this point is why now and the owner is expected to hold a news conference later on today. and so hopefully we'll get more answers why this is happening now. one game left in the season. we'll see what happens. live in south philadelphia, matt delucia, "nbc 10 news." >> we're certainly getting reaction on our facebook page. we asked the eagles make the right decision. one posted, not the best move, too early. had one of the best special teams, also a fact any team that makes a ton of player changes in the off season never makes the playoffs. that is a fact. i would have given him one more year. another wrote yes, it's about time, lurie should be kicking himself giving him the power to run his football team. then this. yes, because the college system doesn't work in the nfl. you can become part of this conversation, we invite you to do that at our facebook page and

post your comments. >> after jeffrey lurie fired kelly he made sure to explain himself. ahead we'll show you what he wrote in a letter to eagles fans. you can count on nbc 10 and our mobile app for average and more reaction to chip kelly's firing. it's 4:06. 46 degrees. a deadly shooting investigation, the victim died just feet from his home, now police are trying to track down as many as four different shooters. nbc 10's katy zachry is live at philadelphia police headquarters. what do we know about this shooting? sort it out for us. >> reporter: this crime is a few hours hold so if you can imagine there is a lot of unanswered questions. however, police do have some strong evidence to go on. we're told that they found footage of the shooting from a surveillance camera that was located right at the scene. here's what happened. investigators say when they arrived on the scene around 11:30 last night they found a 25-year-old man lying on the sidewalk near eighth and ontario

street, he was unconscious. he had been shot at least half a dozen times. police rushed him to temple university hospital where he was pronounced dead. back at the scene we're told that they found shell casings from at least three different guns. and after a thorough search discovered surveillance video showing the exact moment when the victim was shot and killed. police say from that video they know he was approach bid four men as he was walking home feet from his steps. the four men opened fire. police do have information on the getaway vehicle that all four men jumped into and i'm working on putting that together for you coming up in the next hour. we'll have that information. reporting live in front of police headquarters, katy zachry, "nbc 10 news." >> new information police arrested one man and looking for a second following a series of propane tank thefts in northeast philadelphia. we showed you surveillance video of the robberies earlier this month. police say their investigation

led them to a lot on wheat shift lane where they found two vehicles and several of the tanks. they know the identity of the second man they are looking for. counter terrorism officials are also involved in the investigation. now from our south jersey bureau. camden county remembers one of its most popular police officers. a funeral procession was held yesterday for zero, a police canine. other officers and canines watched and saluted as zero was taken to rockman animal hospital draped in an american flag. he died monday night. his handler found him yesterday morning. >> he allowed us to build bridges, both partnerships and to be part of this community. i will so miss him. he was a member of my family. he was a member of this family. there's no other dog like him. >> zero broke the state record

for catching the most criminals by any canine and as the lieutenant said he helped build bonds between police and camden residents by appearing at parks and community events. it's 4:09. now to an update on a story yesterday morning. we have learned that a guy seen using a sledgehammer at the rainbow crosswalk in center city philadelphia works for the city water department. the department issued a statement apologizing for the disturbance at 13th and locust and misunderstanding, a spoke person went on to say it was not tubs the observer that legitimate work was being done since a marked vehicle was not in the immediate vicinity. >> today, pennsylvania convention center with a sneak peek at the fans the brigade. you're invited to see about a dozen rehearsing for the strut down broad street. the mummers fest runs from 4:30 to 9, fancies preview starting tonight at 6, mummers fest runs through tomorrow. you can buy tickets at the

convention center or the philadelphia visitors center. here's a live look outside. we have fog in the area this morning. but different than yesterday because we are dry. and we're going to stay that way as we go through this morning. you don't see the top of the buildings there because we're dealing with fog, some areas dealing with dense fog this morning. satellite and radar showing the clouds around but no rain. the fog is mostly north and west of philadelphia, at least the dense fog through the lehigh valley. and we're also talking about mercer, bucks, montgomery, chester counties, where visibility in some areas is close to zero so it's going to make pretty bad driving conditions in spots so you might want to take it slower on the roadways. trenton at a quarter mile visibility, a quarter mile in allentown, zero in coatesville, 1.25 in pottstown, reading a half mile. for south jersey and delaware the visibility is lower but it's nothing that would cause dense

fog at this point. so this is mainly going to be areas north and west. a lot of that is because of the rain we had yesterday. temperatures right now are in the mid-40s from wilmington to northeast philly, trenton at 41, 44 washington township, some areas north and west in the 30s now, 39 allentown and doylestown, 37 quakertown, 43 reading and pottstown and for south jersey and delaware we're mainly in the mid-40s. we'll be warming to about the mid-50s. so, as we go through your morning the fog is going to stay around so give yourself extra time on the roadways, especially if you are north and west through the lehigh valley or our north and west suburbs. 9:00, 47 degrees, 11:00, temperature around 50 degrees, and we have rain coming later in the day. i'll show you timing of that coming up. >> 11 minutes past 4. let's see how the fog is affecting the ride to work if you're heading out this time this morning. jessica is watching the roads including 95. >> 95 a lot of construction and we have those ramp closures, 95

remains the city's biggest challenge.

today at noon eagles joaner jeffrey lurie will answer questions about his firing of chip kelly. last night he wrote, i spent the last three seasons evaluating the many factors involved in our performance as a team. as i watched this season unfold i determined that it was time to make a change. as we move forward the search for a new head coach will begin, and will be led by myself, don smolenski and howie roseman. to the extent we're able we'll try to keep you informed as we go through this process. >> now take a look at chip kelly yesterday at what would be his final practice with the eagles.

chip started off in philadelphia 19-9, finished 7-12. one report said kelly did not fight jeff lurie's decision and that kelly wants to stay in the nfl. another report said that kelly balked at the suggestion that kelly give up control of player personnel. here is reaction from eagles broadcaster and former bird ike reese. >> i can't say i'm totally surprised, obviously when you take a risk and do some of the things that chip kelly did as a head coach by turning over the roster, by basically looking at a 10-16 team last year and selling to the owner that wasn't good enough, you could tear this thing all the way down and the only way you were going to be able to justify the moves he made is by wink on this field. >> also, check out this cartoon running in the "philadelphia daily news" today, showing a punctured rubber ducky naped chip with the caption phillies deflate gate.

ahead more reaction to kelly's firing. hear from ray diddinger why he thinks there will be more turmoil ahead. >> 4:17. in other news, the affluenza team who ran off to mexico will be returned. police caught up with ethan couch and his mother on monday. he had dyed his hair dark. authorities issued a warrant for couch. earlier this month after his probation officer couldn't reach him. he was on juvenile probation after killing four people in a drunk driving wreck two years ago, at sentencing his defense attorney made the affluenza argument saying that his parents didn't teach him right from wrong. >> chicago mayor rahm emanuel is scheduled to reveal his plan for transforming his city's police department. the mayor's office says emmanuel will call for new officer training to help reduce the intensity of conflicts. he's also expected to call for arming every street officer with a taser.
