moms know kids grow strong when they milk life. at it again. donald trump sparks new controversy with a comment about hillary clinton, and guns. a young life lost. the family of a 3-year-old girl shares their grief as police hunt down the suspects of the hit-and-run. the top names in gymnastics and swimming, go for gold. we begin with breaking news. something donald trump has just

said is igniting a firestorm. some people believe the comment is a call for violence against hillary clinton. it is still unfolding right now. nbc 10's jim rosenfield has the very latest for us in our breaking news center. jim, what did trump said. >> keith, this happened as donald trump spoke a short time ago at a rally in north carolina. he was talking about what would happen if hillary clinton chose the next supreme court justice. here's what trump said. >> if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. although the second amendment people, maybe there is, i don't know. >> referring there to the second amendment which protects the rights of people to own guns, of course. that left some wondering if trump was hinting about the possibility that hillary clinton could be shot. now, the clinton campaign came out quickly with this statement. it reads, this is simple what trump is saying is dangerous, a person seeking to be president of the united states should not suggest violence in any way.

that statement from the clinton campaign. then trump's camp responded to that saying he was talking about the power of voters. they write, it's called the power of unification, second amendment people have amazing spirit and are tremendously unified. we're tracking every turn of this breaking news. we are monitoring the campaigns. also social media, which is really abuzz about this this afternoon. we'll bring you what we find right away. for now, back to you, keith. >> jim, thank you. let's get more on this from lauren mayk. she joins us live from lancaster where she just spoke to mike pence. what is pence saying about all this? >> reporter: keith, as all of this was happening, as jim was describing, on twitter from the campaigns, all through social media, as that was happening, governor mike pence was in that building behind me holding a town hall here in lancaster, talking to folks, giving a speech, taking questions from the audience. right after he got off stage, i

got a chance to talk to him about this, i read specifically what donald trump said at that rally and i asked to get his take on it. >> i think donald trump is very clear. you saw the support here today in lancaster for the second amendment to the constitution. hillary clinton's made it very clear that she wants to see changes. in the right of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms. i think what donald trump was clearly saying people cherish that right, that people believe firearms in the hands of law-abiding citizens makes our communities more safe, not less safe. let their voice be heard. electing donald trump as next president of the united states will ensure that we'll have a president that will make appointments to the supreme court that will uphold all the liberties enshrined in our constitution, including the second amendment. >> reporter: you don't believe he was inferring any violence relating to hillary clinton? >> of course not, no. donald trump is urging people around this country to act in a manner consistent with their

convictions in the course of this election. people who cherish the second amendment have a very clear choice in this election. >> reporter: and he went on to say that choice being between donald trump and hillary clinton regarding the second amendment. now, again, this all happened while he was here at a rally here in lancaster. and we're going to have more from my exclusive interview coming up at 6:00. keith, back to you. >> lauren mayk live for us in lancaster. nbc 10 is on the campaign trail. they'll be with mike pence tonight in pittsburgh. they'll follow him to ohio. look for their reports on the nbc 10 app. right now, though, we have new details on the victim of a deadly hit-and-run. the crash killed a 3-year-old girl in north philadelphia. tonight her family is sharing their grief, and those memories. monique braxton spoke with them today. you just got new information from police? what have you learned? >> reporter: that's right,

keith. 90 minutes ago, accident investigators updated us on what they know about the investigation. and then 20 minutes ago, they released this picture. they believe it's a honda accord. they also believe it may have been a factor, and no doubt they wlant to talk to the driver. also today, we spoke to the family of littlester palmer about what happened and how they're handling it. >> she was like a little princess at times. >> reporter: too distraught and scared to speak on camera, yancy palmer hopes these pictures and her memories will reveal the unbearable loss of her 3-year-old sister, esther. the little girl was courageous, following a recent diagnosis of diabetes. >> she was really strong. like she was just checking her fingers, checking her blood sugar. she was learning how to do everything, you know. she was strong. >> reporter: shattered glass and a banged-up bumper remain at the

scene of the tragedy. witnesses tell police at 7:15 last night a honda accord hit the palmer's honda civic here at second and york. we were there as investigators went door to door searching for surveillance video of the crash. late this afternoon we found out the accord may have been racing with this dark-colored unknown vehicle. little esther was riding with her mother and grandmother. esther was thrown from the car and died at a local hospital. >> i seen a lady was on the floor, holding the baby. >> reporter: investigators tell us the palmer family was heading west, and had the green light. the impact of the crash spun their car around, causing it to crumple a fire hydrant. the unknown car seen on police surveillance tape careened into a street light and sped off. business owners in the area said speeding is so bad on second street they often call. >> you have stuff like that. >> how often? during the day? in the evening? >> i'm here like 8:30 until at

least 7:00 at night. i hear it all day long. >> reporter: esther's family is already dealing with devastation, and more heart ache is ahead. >> my grandma right now, she don't even know that my sister died. >> your grandmother doesn't know your sister passed away. >> no. >> reporter: yancy palmer also told us that her grandmother who's 64 years old is still hospitalized in critical condition. no doubt our hearts go out to them. live for now outside accident investigators, monique braxton, nbc 10 news. >> right about that, monique. thank you. meanwhile, police have arrested a woman for leaving the scene of a deadly hit-and-run yesterday morning. authorities say 27-year-old cassie hanson was driving the chevy silverado that killed 61-year-old marie thorn. hanson is held on $150,000 bail. i'm jacqueline london live

from rio de janeiro, brazil, above barra olympic park. if you hear cheers and screams throughout this newscast, tonight it won't be coming from the tennis stadium behind me, as it has been the past few days. instead, those cheers will be contained to the gymnastics and swimming venues. total domination tonight. that is what is expected from the women's gymnastics team. team usa is taking part in their team final. and that team is led by a 19-year-old widely considered the greatest gymnast in the world. the new fierce five is looking to strike team gold for the second consecutive olympics. >> i'm feeling very excited. i'm confident. and i think we're just ready to go out and compete in the finals already. >> reporter: all eyes will be on the heavily favored u.s. gymnastics team and new jersey's laurie hernandez.

katie ledecky and michael phelps back in the pool tonight. some african tried to psych him out. >> u.s. now in double digits. >> a seven-point spread helped the women's polo team to move on today. they held spain to just four goals. >> we're just going to keep in mind we have five more games. and we have to get better every game. >> after a 92-year hi at us, men's rugby returned to the olympics today. u.s. won the gold in paris in 1924. something allentown's chris wild and team usa will try to do nearly a century later. as for the men's rugby team, they lost their first match today against argentina. but they will go up against the host country brazil later today and that's when they're hoping for a win. coming up at 5:30, we're going to talk to an

actress/comedienne, right here in rio. we'll have that story for you. for now let's send it back to philadelphia. and keith jones. >> looking forward to that, jacqueline, thanks so much. back at home, dangerous heat, coming back in a big way this week. chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz will have the details on this first alert next at 5:00. plus, storm ranger 10 is in action. sheena? >> reporter: i'm meteorologist sheena parveen live outside lincoln financial field. storm ranger 10 coming up. i'll explain what storm ranger 10 does and why it's so important to you at home. stay tuned. that's next. still ahead on nbc 10 news at 5:00, the investigators pick a closer look at what was a family in crisis. what we learned today about the murder/suicide of an entire family in berks county. our live coverage from rio continues. this is a live look at the olympic torch right now.

we're going to bring you the latest olympic medal count. in a couple seconds if you're worried about spoilers, you might want to look away. we'll be right back. welcome to the wonder of the olympic games.

one day, the world came together. a dog, talked. we're decedent from the mighty wolf. a voice was heard. if you build it, he will come. a girl discovered magic. a revolution began. welcome, to the wonders that happen, everyday. welcome, to it all. comcast.

i'm meteorologist sheena parveen. the home of storm ranger 10, and the home of the philadelphia eagles. we are the official station for the philadelphia eagles, which is why we brought storm ranger 10 to the link which is where we're at today. let me explain what storm ranger 10 is. if you haven't seen the commercials yet, it is a mobile radar. that on top, that is the radar. it is on right now. and it is scanning the skies for any weather systems out there. for now, though, we're nice and clear. but what it means to you at home is that whenever we have severe storms rolling through, or any type of weather rolling through, we can tell you the specifics of the storm that other stationary radars maybe can't see, if the storm is too far away.

we also have a weather station right on top of the truck. we can tell you the current conditions outside right now. the wind speed, wind direction, humidity, pressure and everything you need to keep you safe. from here forward we'll be taking it closer to the storms to give you a better, more accurate look. we can give you a better lead time, because if a storm is too far away from a stationary radar, that radar beam is to high in the sky. sometimes we can't see the rotation in a storm. that's when we make the call. we move the truck. we take the radar closer to the storm and we can give you a better lead time, so you can see when the severe weather's heading your way. but meteorologist krystal klei also has fun facts that maybe you didn't know. after unveiling storm ranger 10 last week, some of you may have been thinking of this. the jeep that took storm chasers

in the movie "twister" on a wild ride. well, it's not exactly the same. it's better. so here are the facts. storm ranger weighs over 16,000 pounds. compare that to nearly 3,000 pounds of a mini cooper. and height? well, our tallest sixer is 7 feet tall. storm ranger is 11 feet tall. 17 with the dome ray. inside this radar dome, the beam is going around a full 360 degrees, and it only takes it ten seconds. it's something that we can track right here on this dial. and just for point of reference, in the time i've been talking, ten seconds has already passed. speaking of that beam it has a range of 75 miles. that's like running the blood cross broad street run 7 1/2 times. the truck has three cameras, so we can keep our eyes on the road, on us, and on the sky. and we're ready for the worst. our truck can withstand

hurricane force winds. that's 74 miles per hour. so if you're looking for the best technology, and greatest protection for your neighborhood, look no further than storm ranger 10, only on nbc 10. krystal klei, nbc 10 news. >> reporter: so the bottom line here is that we can move storm ranger 10 wherever we want, whenever we want, so we can see the details of a storm that other radars tend to miss. that's why this is going to be such an important tool from here forward, especially when it comes to winter weather. but this week, we have thunderstorms in the forecast, and we have an eagles game. with the eagles game, we will certainly be tracking the weather for you with storm ranger 10. let's head inside to chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz with a look at the eagles forecast coming up. >> yeah, sheena, thunderstorms are going to be a factor that day. and just a question of what areas do get hit. one of the differences with

storm ranger 10, and the movie "twister" we don't actually go into the storm, into a tornado. we would try to get close to it. and right now, we're close to the linc. and the sweep goes around. and we have a couple of ranges here, the closest range is 30 miles. the longest range is 60 that we find the most detail. so the closer we get to the storm, the more detail we can provide. that's where it's located right now. broad and madison avenue. by the time the eagles are getting to play on thursday night, it's going to be pretty brutal out there. 95 degrees before the game. with a heat index of 101. the feels-like temperature. by kickoff, it will feel like 97. even by the end of the game it's feeling like 90. you want to drink a lot of water during that game. if you're headed out there. we do have a first alert for

this dangerous heat that's coming. it's for philadelphia, p.a. suburbs, new jersey and delaware. does not include the lehigh valley or the shore because it won't be quite as hot there. this is thursday through saturday that we're talking about. and the feels-like temperature getting well above 100 degrees. right now we're in the 80s with at least partly sunny skies. we have a nice sea breeze going at the shore. look at the ocean temperature, 81 degrees. that's the warmest it's been all season. that's almost ten degrees above average. even with the sea breeze, the temperature's in the 80s at the shore. that's pretty amazing. now, we got up to 85 yesterday. 89 today. 92 tomorrow. then the worst of it, thursday through saturday, the feels-like temperature is getting well over 100. even on sunday, we could still be into the 90s. the humidity with this one is going to be so high, that that's what puts those feels-like

temperatures so high. now, as we look in the future, hour by hour, nothing more than an isolated shower or two in the morning. not much around in the afternoon either. we may have some showers up toward the lehigh valley, and the poconos. most of tomorrow is rain-free. thursday morning is rain-free. maybe a little bit of fog to start off with. and then in the afternoon, and into the evening, the eagles are getting ready to play, and we do expect some showers and storms in the area. the greatest threat would be north and west of philadelphia. and as we look into tomorrow, you can see the high temperature, 91 in somerton, the feels-like 97. the thunderstorms up in allentown. but we don't have it much in the rest of the area. don't expect them at the shore. but it's going to feel kind of hot. in delaware it's going to feel even hotter. as we go through the next few days, better chance of thunderstorms on thursday, then

wednesday or friday in philadelphia. but notice in the suburbs, we could get some tomorrow. lehigh valley, any of the three days. so the farther north and west you are in the area, the greater the chance of getting one of those thunderstorms. and any of these storms certainly has the capability of producing some very heavy rain. but look into delaware, once again, we're not predicting much of a chance of thunderstorms. the jersey shore should be a great place to escape this heat and the thunderstorms. >> good to know, glenn. thank you very much. the eagles take a big hit before the season even starts. the key player that could be off the field for ten games. plus, this is all that's left of a popular spot at the delaware beach. the unusual cause of this devastating fire, still ahead at 5:00.

welcome, to it all. comcast. we're turning to breaking news now. reaction pouring in after donald trump's comments today that's touching off a firestorm. some believe the comment is a call for violence against

hillary clinton. nbc 10's jim rosenfield has the latest in the breaking news center. jim, what do you know? >> the trump camp is saying no. first the comment, trump spoke at a rally in north carolina. he was talking about what would happen if hillary clinton chose the next supreme court justice. take a listen. >> if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. although the second amendment people, maybe there is, i don't know. >> trump then referring to the second amendment, which protects the rights of people to own guns, and that left some wondering if trump was hinting about the possibility that hillary clinton could be shot. among those weighing in on social media right now is pennsylvania congressman brendan boyle. he said four presidents have been assassinated. also attempts on the lives of reagan, ford, truman, fdr, not in any way a joking matter. now, trump's camp responded to the firestorm this afternoon saying he was talking about the power of voters.

it's called the power of unification. nbc 10 news reporter lauren mayk was with mike pence in lancaster county today just as this news was breaking. she asked pence what it's like spending so much time responding to all of trump's comments. we'll have her exclusive interview ahead at 6:00. jim rosenfield, nbc 10 news. keith? >> jim, we'll see you at 6:00 as well. also tonight, the mystery is deepening around the berks family killed in the apparent murder/suicide. they confirmed neither the husband nor the wife ever asked a judge to intervene in their marital problems. nbc 10's george spencer joins us live tonight from reading who has been digging into the story all day long. george? >> reporter: yeah, keith, local investigators have still not said which of the adults they believe pulled the trigger in this crime.

but court records here show neither the father nor the mother ever asked the judicial system to step in on their admittedly troubled marriage. this afternoon the short family's sinking spring home sat quiet and empty. the family's picture-perfect facebook image shattered by the apparent murder/suicide deaths of all five. but in the berks county courthouse today, we confirmed neither mark short nor his wife megan had asked a judge to intervene in their marital problems. neither had ever filed for a divorce, and neither had ever asked a judge for an order of protection against the other. surprising findings given megan's public discussion of her plans to move out and online claims of emotional abuse. even mark's family acknowledged yesterday the father was struggling to hold on to his marriage, and family. >> mark was really trying to make it work. and he took them to disney world

in february to try and bond the family together. and evidently it didn't work, because she still wanted to get out of the marriage. >> reporter: nbc 10 also discovered neither mother nor father had any criminal history in berks county. investigators have not confirmed who pulled the trigger, and since licensed to carry permits are not public record, we couldn't even find out who owned the gun. but we do know the district attorney's office has only requested an autopsy of mark short, not megan or the children. there was also a handwritten murder/suicide note found in that home. perhaps something we'll hear more about when investigators reveal more about their findings sometime later this week. reporting live in reading, george spencer, nbc 10 news. this is what's left of a popular dewy beach restaurant after a woman crashed her car into it.

look at that surveillance video. it shows the wreck caused the fire at ed's chicken and crabs on coastal highway. michelle small was rescued from her mini cooper and was charged with dui. welcome back, live from rio de janeiro, brazil. in front of barra olympic park. this area is now jam packed with people who love to watch the sport and people who love to play it. many of the athletes who are here are from our backyard. every day we're meeting more incredible athletes as they continue to compete and try to get those gold medals. one of them we want to tell you about is ashley johnson. many say the princeton student is one of the best water polo goalies to ever guard a net. we caught up with her after today's match after they pummeled spain 11-4. >> that's one thing that i love about this team is how much each of us wants it. in practice, there's no off day,

no easy day. they're going to give it their all. everyone's going to compete, and compete together. >> reporter: and the talent runs in the family. ashley's sister also plays for team usa. and she also attends princeton. we're going to have more on that dynamic duo coming up a little bit later in the week. and we know these athletes put so much time in, the years and the training, but actually how much do they do. and how much effort is put in. any idea how many miles carli lloyd runs during a soccer game, or how little energy gardner uses from her legs during a sprint? or how many pounds of force is used in a high jump? we have more, thanks to the university of pennsylvania's

back here live in rio. could cupping be the secret weapon of these olympic games? when michael phelps was poolside sunday, a lot of people couldn't

help but notice the bruises he was sporting. that had people looking into this therapy and its benefits. if it's good enough for michael phelps, it's probably good enough for me. we want to show you what cupping is all about. athletic trainers use cups like these to put on athletes' tight spots, and suck out the air. that lifts the skin and stretches out the underlying tissue which improves blood flow. yesterday nbc 10's tim furlong went to the university of delaware to experience the ancient chinese healing practice firsthand. he shows us those results one day later. >> reporter: a number of people asked me how my arm feels after having the cupping technique done on it yesterday. it was a little bit raw and tingly for a couple of hours last night. but there aren't any residual marks. i don't know that my arm feels any better to be honest with you. but i didn't have a lot of pain there to begin with. but sometimes you have to immerse yourself in the story and take one for the team.

>> reporter: thank you for taking one for the team, tim. and i'm glad to see that those marks went away. to a new commentator who will give her analysis of the games later this week. everyone hoping that her excitement, her comedy and her enthusiasm will really inspire team usa. take a listen. >> we've got to win, no matter, all! usa! usa! >> reporter: her spirit and enthusiasm for team usa has won her a trip to rio to cheer on the athletes in person. not bad. "saturday night live" comedian leslie jones' hilarious tweets and displaying her loyalty on social media caught the attention of jim bell. she'll attend events like swimming, track and field, gymnastics, and beach volleyball.

a lot of excitement going on here. and again, one of the biggest events tonight, gymnastics. team usa is going for the team final. i caught up with a phenom's mother. we're talking about laurie hernandez who is from our area. she is from new jersey. i found her inside the gymnastics venue talking to none other than fellow caroli. it's interesting to hear what she has to say about all of the training that her daughter has put in over the years, and her nerves right now as her daughter gets ready to compete. keith, back to you. >> looking forward to that, jackie. thank you so much. turning to "nbc 10 responds." a sudden illness caused a woman to check in to a nursing home after she didn't get the service she expected, she checks out and demands a partial refund and it never comes. she contacted harry hairston and "nbc 10 responds." >> keith, this woman considers herself a savvy business woman.

and she wasn't about to put up with waiting week after week after week to get her cash. for the past three months, theresa hines has been using a while chair to get around. she's now working from home to manage these family-owned properties. properties she used to visit until a recent health concern. >> i knew i couldn't stand on it. >> reporter: it turned out to be a fracture in her leg. how do you think you broke it? >> old age. >> reporter: she spent four days in the hospital. then came here to the folk manor nursing home. she paid up front. you went there looking to get physical therapy. >> yes. physical therapy, maybe a little activity. >> reporter: just six days later hines decided to leave and hire a private nurse for home care. she told us folk man nor home agreed she was due a refund. >> the main office said i'll get

my refund within a month. >> reporter: a month went by. and it didn't arrive. >> i call again and they say, oh, you'll have that money in three to four weeks. >> reporter: still, no refund. so she reached out to "nbc 10 responds." >> i wasn't getting anywhere. i seen all the success you have. >> reporter: less than a week after we contacted the nursing home's parent company, five star senior living, refund recovered. a nursing home rep hand-delivered this check to her home. they sent us this statement. it reads in part, quote, we work to ex pa dit payment as soon as the inquiry came in and are pleased to resolve the matter. >> thank you so much, harry. you're my hero. >> thank you. her private nurse is working out just fine and is hoping to get around without a whirl chair sue. her refund was for $1,728.86.

so let's put that up on our board, our nbc 10 responds recovery counter. it's now at, keith, $70,097. >> my goodness. she's right, you're a hero, harry. >> i don't know about being a hero, but i love the counter showing the money people get back. >> harry the money man. thank you. >> thank you. if you have a consumer complaint for "nbc 10 responds," reach out to us. the phone number and website right there on your screen. also, coming up next, tomorrow, i should say, on "nbc 10 responds," a woman finds a designer bag. notices problems the first time she wears it. she sent the back in for repairs but months went by and she couldn't get answers. see how harry helped tomorrow on nbc 10 news at 5:00. if you think it was hot

today, it's going to get a whole lot hotter. and a whole lot more humid. so we've issued a first alert for some dangerous heat. mostly from thursday into saturday, and mostly around the highly urbanized areas. philadelphia, p.a. suburbs, much of new jersey, and especially in northern delaware. for thursday, through saturday we're going to have feels-like temperatures over 100 degrees. a combination of the heat and the humidity. right now it's 88 degrees. philadelphia got up to 89 today. 87 degrees in lehigh valley. so we have not seen much in the temperatures around 90s. let's see on our neighborhood weather. 83 in odessa. 81 degrees in middletown. as we head toward the delaware beaches, it's still close to 80 degrees. even with an onshore wind because the ocean's so warm.

81-degree ocean temperature off atlantic city. that's close to ten degrees above normal, and about as warm as it gets. the heat wave, that's going to be number five coming in here. 85 yesterday. 89 for the high today. 92 tomorrow. and then that's the extreme heat. thursday through saturday. need three straight days of 90-plus to get a heat wave. and it certainly looks like we're going to go way beyond that. take a look at the future temperatures. feels-like temperatures going into the 90s tomorrow. close to 100 on thursday. and over 100, look at that friday, 7:00 p.m., 104. that's what the computer models say. and even 100 in allentown. how about the rainfall. not much. during the day tomorrow, isolated showers up toward the lehigh valley.

then thursday afternoon, just as we get close to the eagles game, we have the chance of a thunderstorm. best chance farther north of us. but it's going to be hot. it's going to feel like 101 ahead of the game. 97 at kickoff. 90 degrees at the end of the game. and, of course, it's going to be hotter in the days after thursday. there's that chance of thunderstorms thursday. friday, saturday, extreme heat. and the first alert out for that. and then as we go into next week, it is not as hot, but we could get some pretty good storms. especially starting on sunday. >> thank you. lester holt joins us now from the site of the olympic games in rio. here's a look at what's coming up on "nbc nightly news." good to see you, lester. >> good to see you, keith. was it a joke or threat? what did donald trump mean by some comments he made about second amendment people and what
