briefing now on what the plan is for today. they are searching every corner of pennsburg today and heading over to the green lane reservoir, a mile or two away from here and searching the wooded areas around here, police sources and prosecutorial sources believe he probably has killed himself. they are more likely to find a body than not. they have to believe he is out there armed and dangerous somewhere. as a result the upper perkiomen schools are closed, there are no classes today. police are not saying to shelter in place, we see people around town coming and going and on the block where bradley stone lived. we looked at his house, the front door is battered in and eerily there in the living room sits a fully decorated christmas tree, he and his new wife was

planning to celebrate the holidays like everybody else, but it took a horrible turn when bradley stone killed his ex-wife and five members of his family and gravely wounding one of her other relatives. here is a live shot of the tactical unit and s.w.a.t. teams getting ready to fan out in the area. resuming this search. sources telling us they believe he may be dead but they are not taking any chances and warning the public to be alert. do not approach him if you see this man. david henry, channel 6 "action news." >> david, let me ask you this, when i was there yesterday, this manhunt virtually shut down pennsburg, is it that way today, are the road closures still in affect? >> not at all. they cleared the area around bradley stone's house. but the situation has changed

dramatically, they don't believe he is anywhere near his home right now, they feel he may have gone off into the woods and shot himself or he could be in kansas for anybody knows, but they are looking throughout this area and the entire borough of pennsburg today. >> thank you david. the manhunt for bradley stone is affecting several area school districts, the upper perkiomen school district is closed and the pennridge school district is operating on a modified lockdown and only known individuals can enter the building. both penn and souderton school districts are not allowing outdoor activities. you can find out the latest on the search for bradley stone at 6abc.com, can you find pictures and video from all the crime

rain from the west, this is what we showed you on future tracker 6 and what accuweather was calling for. there are downpours, what we are looking at is precipitation above the surface, by the time it evaporated a bit it won't be quite that heavy. but we'll see the western suburbs begin to get wet and between 12:30 and 1:00, southwestern chester county and berks county as well will pick up this. slowly this moves towards the east during the afternoon hours, the wide show shows you the cloud cover is thick and breaks here and there and it won't last as the rain gets closers, we are looking at a headache for the evening commute, spotty showers and bans of light rain mostly. i don't expect street flooding but the timing is coming in as kids get out of school and some

lingering rain through the evening rush hour, we have fairly mild temperatures and 50 in philadelphia, low 40s in allentown and reading and upper 40s at the shore, and as we go into the afternoon and await the arrival of this rain we pop up to a high of 52 probably around 2:00 well above average. i'll have future tracker 6 giving you the latest look on how this moves in and when it departs all ahead with the accuweather forecast. still to come on "action news" at noon, a woman called 911 after driving her car into a river, the dramatic rescue is up next. california cops go above and beyond when they see a family in need. and david murphy will be back with a closer look at the forecast.

this point. they believe is he clean shave and, we'll put that on air and also at 6abc.com. she talked about a small army of law enforcement on this case from police to fbi, to s.w.a.t. teams to fire departments all across the region, primarily focusing on the northwest section of montgomery county, with that said, she gave an update on the information about a possible sighting in doylestown we reported yesterday, they came short of referring to that as a fraud and said that that information at this time was not valid and ferman had a district message to the people. >> i do not want to alarm anyone or overstate a threat anymore, i simply ask the community to be observant and cautious, if you see something say something, call 911 or call the police, i would ask people not to try to stop mr. stone, if they do see

him he should be considered armed and dangerous. >> so once again the news conference has ended and she did not take questions, full details on what she said and what happened this morning on 6abc.com and coming up on "action news" starting at 4:00. walter perez, channel 6 "action news." >> walter knew in other news, a woman is thankful to be alive after her car was swept away in high waters. >> i can't get out and it's rapid and moving real fast. >> authorities say that the driver swerved into the river to avoid an on coming car and used her on star in her vehicle to call for help. it came in the nick of time. minutes after rescuers pulled her from the vehicle it went 150 yards downstream. two police officers in california are getting a lot of praise for stepping in to help a

family in need. sacramento police officers spotted a family of five searching for a place to sleep while others looked away so the officers stopped to make sure the family was okay. >> we said would it be okay to put you in a hotel room tonight. >> you have good officers out there, human like us, like anybody else and i am thankful that they pulled up on us. >> another officer started a program started sacramento police cares, it allowed the officers to get the family a hotel room and be reimbursed for the cost. they are thankful for the duo, they fell on hard times and needs the help. works differently to lower blood sugar?
