hospital with gun shot wounds. police have not confirmed their conditions at this time and you can see that this scene remains closed off. again as i mentioned they are waiting for a search warrant to go inside the home. police were called here to the home on the 900 block of winder drive around 12:45 this morning and when they arrived they found one person was dead inside the home another was injured. the other injured man was able to go to a neighbor's home to call 911 and police say that was the only 911 call to come in about this. multiple shots were fired inside the home but the circumstances of that shooting, what was happening before those shots were fired, this all remains under investigation this morning. >> right now bucks county detectives are processing the scene. we do have detectives that are interviewing so we're just trying get as much information gathered as possible to try to get some leads on this shooting. >> reporter: police say this house has been known as a problem home by neighbors but they didn't elaborate on that. police say they have no known

suspects on this. you can see this remains an active scene here in bristol township. this all remains under investigation this morning. we're live in bristol township, katherine scott channel 6 "action news." >> thank you, katherine. there is calm in southwest philadelphia this morning following a night of anger and axe accusations over firefighters' response time to a deadly weekend blaze. police stood between protesters and the focus of their anger, ladder four, engine 40. the firehouse is around the corner from where four children died. demonstrators claimed firefighters delayed their response to the blaze. but fire commissioner derrick sawyer told the community yesterday that once firefighters got the call of the house fire, they responded within three minutes. sawyer said firefighters are crushed over the children's deaths. >> their hearts are broken. it's no way, no how that these members were not respond -- would not respond in a timely manner to save life. >> mayor michael nutter says firefighters are not to blame for the deaths. officials say they plan to

release the 911 calls connected to the saturday morning fire. we will bring that to you as soon as we get them. and we have more information about the deadly fire on our free 6abc news app including information for anyone interested in helping the families that lost their homes. >> 5:35 now. new this morning, philadelphia police are searching for the shooter who gunned down a man in a minivan. it happened in the city's parkside section late last night. police say the gunman fired 12 shots at the 21-year-old victim from point blank range in the 1600 block of south wilton street. detectives are still working on a motive but say the victim has had prior encounters with the law. for the first time this morning we are hearing from the riders aboard a stuck rollercoaster at the six flags in california. about two dozen people dangled 20 feet in the air when the ninja ride derailed last night. rescue crews lowered every one

to safety. four people in the front car have minor injuries. young witnesses near the scene heard screaming. >> it sounded like they were like panicking. >> yeah. >> 'cause they didn't know what to do. >> they were just confused and scared and they didn't really know what was going on. >> a park spokeswoman says a branch that fell on the tracks is responsible for the coaster derailment. the park remained opened and the other rides were in operation during the rescue efforts. >> happening today, the pennsylvania state senate will vote on a bill that would allow philadelphia to hike cigarette taxes to raise money for public schools. the two dollars per pack increase would help close the district's $93 million budget gap by more than half. last week the statehouse approved the same bill sending it back to the senate for final approval. the senate has already approved the measure once before. >> a pennsylvania house committee is meeting today to find out why a water treatment plant had so many problems in may. 18,000 montgomery county households in six townships

had to boil their water for four days and it forced 150 restaurants to close during that time. among those testifying at this morning's public hearing at the west norriton township building will be officials from pennsylvania american water, the company there had the problems. >> david's here to talk about the heat and the threat of thundershowers. >> yes, absolutely. storm tracker 6 live double scan matt and erin shows you we're dry for now which is good. as we take a look outside sky 6 has been shopping us brightening conditions we have a fair amount of sunshine coming up over the horizon early and then we'll get into more of a partly sunny sky later on. 76 degrees is the current temperature in philadelphia, dewpoint in the mid 60's so that's somewhat humid air, not oppressive. winds out of the south at just 6 miles per hour. future tracker 6 showing between now and noon there could be a couple pop-up showers maybe a rumble of thunder but i don't think you'll see a lot of that until later on tonight when we get a cold front coming closers to and a line of showers pops in. the best chance of

thunderstorm activity would be from areas close to i-95 off into the north and west later this evening. this happens to be the 11:30 at night view but really any time after we get into the evening hours there will be a chance of this and any storms that form tonight could feature gusty winds, heavy downpours, lots of lightning and maybe even a little hail so that would be something to keep in mind later tonight as we look at where temperatures are going, 77 degrees by 8 o'clock, by 11:00, yes, sir spend the afternoon in the 90's, our high of 94 hitting probably 3:30 in the afternoon temperatures across the region, the lehigh valley going to 91, if you're down the shore mid to upper 80's is where you'll winds up. humid and again the chance of thunderstorms but most probably holding off until nighttime. tomorrow looks kind of unsettled. that cold front that's coming in that triggers the thunderstorm activity north and west across the region tonight comes a little bit farther south and if we do see thunderstorms tomorrow i think they'll probably be centered more south and east of philadelphia but there could

be a little bit of something popping up just about anywhere tomorrow, somewhat unsettled. 94 hot and humid today. tomorrow warm and humid, 89 degrees and like today, we've got another round of late day or night time thunderstorms possible, at least in some spots. but thursday things get better, clouds and sun, a high of 86. while we're posting a slight chance of a spotty afternoon thunderstorms butter things are getting better because this frontal boundary is passing down to our south on thursday. behind that on friday, the pick of the week, sunny and nice on friday, a high of 85 degrees. phillies back in town for three games before the all-star break and that will be a nice night for baseball. saturday a mix of clouds and sun 87. we start to get more humid during the day. there's the chance of a spotty thunderstorm around but by no means is saturday a washout. 6abc night at ppl park for the union. i'll see you down there. sunday 88 degrees warm and humid and another spotty thunderstorm is possible. >> thanks, david. >> thanks, david. >> next israel ramps up its group overnight amid fears an
