>> two guns retrieved at the scene and one with the perpetrator and one we believe that the doctor may have possessed at this point in time. we believe the doctor certainly from all of our accounts would be acting in self-defense but we are looking at that information as we speak. >> and now "action news" reporter vernon odom who got to the scene shortly after this all unfolded is live with more. >> reporter: good evening, rick it's very easy to describe the scene at this hospital this afternoon. it was an atmosphere of fear, chaos and a massive buildup of police from multiple jurisdictions. police came from multiple delco jurisdictions and there was fear that a second attacker may be loose on this campus. >> a cop came with his guns

drawn and another two cops came behind him and then she said we are to all get in the back. that is adam williams that came in for x-rays today and he was kautd in the middle of an evacuation, they were rushed through the building. >> they said we have to evacuate because of gunshots on the third floor and they evacuated us all out. >> tried to get all of my patients out of the room and this is just crazy. >> eventually the fear of a second possible attacker here on the campus here were ruled out and immediately things started to ramp down in terms of tension, the police going back to their various jurisdictions and traffic moving through the area. vernon odom, channel 6 "action news." >> thank you again. we have been following this story as it broke on air an

online at 6abc.com. we set up a slideshow of images from the scene, stay with us for updates on this breaking news store dwri. >> and now the deadly conflict with israel and hamas, women and children were killed in the shelling of a u.n. run shelter run for children in gaza today. they say it happened while staffers were trying to evacuate the civilians from the compound. palestinians claim it was the israeli that attacked but the israelis say it was the other way around. >> the israeli side had all the coordinates including these schools and we spent much of the day, and we tried to get a pause to get the civilians evacuated.

>> this comes as israel sworn in their new president. >> just as they renewed, a high school graduate from our area, was embarking on a trip of a lifetime. >> looking at the pictures it looks like any other experience, but alex, a recent radnor graduate, is one she will never forget. >> it's a little unsettling to see the smoke clouds above my apartment in metropolitan tel aviv, it's great to see that versus a fire on the ground. alex stayed in what she described as a relatively calm tel aviv most of her time in israel but spent time working with kids north of gaza. she says the children were not allowed to play outside but her group did everything they could

to help the kids have fun. >> do be able to take their minds off of it and teach them a sport it was pretty awesome. >> alex said she heard more than ten sirens telling them to take cover and each time she texted her parents to tell them not to worry. the unrest was making headlines, alex says she never felt unsafe. safety was not a concern, rockets were shot in tel aviv and there was a little more caution in our every day routine and we needed to know where the bomb shelter was and what to do if we heard the sirens. >> just home, she stays in touch with her friends via text messages to know what was going on but the experience working with the children is one she would do again. >> yes, this is unfortunate, but i'm having the time of my life

even with all of this. >> eva pilgram, channel 6 "action news." >> we are following the ongoing conflict in gaza at the new 6abc.com, stick with us on air and online as hostilities continue. >> camden county authorities arrested the driver over the weekend and he just kept going. >> authorities say he was the man driving a white van that hit 59-year-old man on north 27th street in camden, he died on tuesday of his injuries, detectives say they spotted the van yesterday and sosa was take and into police custody, he is held on $85,000 bail. from the delaware newsroom, detectives in dover are looking for these two men wanted for attempted murder. authorities say they stabbed a 20 dwrld man during a fight on south new street yesterday. the victim is hospitalized in stable condition. they are asking anybody with

information on the suspects, to call the number on your screen. a philadelphia woman convicted of killing her own mother will spend the rest of her life behind bars, a judge sentenced her to life in prison without the chance of parole. she shot her mother in the chest during an argument in september of 2007. damon then douses lee with a flammable liquid and set her on fire. the fire broke out in their home on winding way in upper chichester just before 6:30 a.m. the smoke detectors woke the family and the fire marshall thinks it may have been caused by an electrical problem. time for a look at traffic, matt pellman is outside now with a look at traffic. >> people are winding their way home this evening saying is it friday yet?

it's a rough evening on the roadways, 95 southbound remains congested past street road and cotman avenue, this is the reason an earlier vehicle fire at the work zone at cotman, not much left of the vehicle, the good news is all the activity that is basically just the vehicle is off to the side. all three southbound lanes are open but the delays are huge in both directions, if you are headed out and you normally use 95 think about using frankfurt avenue or roosevelt boulevard. we have delays on 95 and the schuylkill expressway leaving the phils game and a crash approaching the tacony palmyra bridge. and because of all the police activity at mercy fitzgerald hospital in delco, landsdale remains shut down at mcdade boulevard. use 13 church lane as an alternate.

there is also a crash along 422 westbound side by trooper, still knocking out the right lane, so traffic is jammed solid here as well as you come away from king of prussia. good luck getting home rick and monica. see you tomorrow for friday. >> a tough week. much more to come on "action news" thursday night. a local family whose major appliance kept breaking down was not getting the help they needed from the maker, now nydia han and the "action news" troubleshooters teped in to help. and melissa magee is in stone harbor for this week's down at the shore. hi melissa. >> hi there monica and rick, we are thankful for a nice day after a cloudy start at the shore. we are in stone harbor celebrating the centennial, it's all about, what is up with this funky hat. it's christmas in july, santa claus is here.

the phillies were in action today at citizens bank park finishing up their series again the giants. >> lets go to jaime apody. >> it's big story for the phillies is ryan howard's fall from grace, he was benched today against the giants, and they played a pitcher that he hit the best against in history. and an rbi single put the phils

up in the fifth, cole hamels dominant allowing one run and they salvaged one game today. winning 2-1. >> he pitched like an ace and when we get him some runs, obviously that is lacked in his outings, but a little run support and where he is at right now allowed him to pitch. he is at the top of his game. >> what an agonizing phillies season it has been, relief comes tomorrow sports fans bus eagles report to training camp. one guy you won't see desean jackson, it's weird to see him in maroon and gold, he took part in his first training camp with the red skins and stayed for extra passes and signed autographs and took pictures we wondser if what went down

changed him. >> i look at this as a new beginning and i don't get kautd up in things like that. here there are a lot of things going we want to get accomplished. >> weird seeing him as a rival. coach brett brown is going for his family vacation in australia but first he sat don't with me and talked hoops, the first was michael carter williams, after winning rookie of the year, a big name around this team. what will he do for an encore. the coach says he has a lot of waetd on his shoulders. >> with that title a little bit comes the responsibility in a fun way way to help us grow the program, at times he feels the weight of the city a little bit and i don't want to push that too hard but i'll be looking at him to act as a more mattuure

player. but i'll be looking at we expect major compliances to work properly and last a long time. when one couple's refrigerator broke down they contacted "action news" and nydia han is here to explain this one. >> we rely on our fridge freezers to feed our family, what happens if you have a lemon, one frustrated viewer contacted me for help through "action news" troubleshooters. >> water is about the only thing that diane can keep in her refrigerator, look at the thermometer inside. it's almost 70 degrees, and this isn't the first time that diane's appliance has broken down. >> i'm exhausted, for the last year it has been every four months. >> reporter: diane says when the
