"action news" reporter katherine could the is live on the scene in west oak lane. these got the latest developments this morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, tam. that's right, that woman when she was rushed to the hospital went right into surgery but her baby did not survive. a man believed to be her boyfriend is in the hospital in stable condition and that woman is in critical condition after being shot here last

night. it all happened right over there by the this utility pole on the 7300 block of thouron avenue in west oak lane around 10 o'clock last night. witnesses told police they heard some sort of argument, then gun shots. when police arrived the 32-year-old woman was sitting in a passenger seat of a parked car. she had been shot in her lower back. the 46-year-old man was lying nearby on the sidewalk. he had been shot several times in both legs. police believe the shooting happened outside the vehicle. >> after being shot we the female jumped into the passenger front seat of the vehicle. we didn't find any bullet holes or any strike marks in the vehicle. the vehicle's engine was still running upon police arrival. >> reporter: and that car has been towed. police are going to be searching it to look for any sort of evidence that can help in this case. all we know so far about the gunman is that there were two of them and that they ran in an unknown direction. so they're looking for tips. they're looking for surveillance video.

if you have any information northwest detectives want to hear from you. live in oak lane katherine scott channel6 "action news." >> thank you katherine. an off duty philadelphia police officer suffered minor injuries in a nasty wreck. this happened on the 9500 block of germantown avenue in chestnut hill just after midnight. the vehicle nearly tipped over after hitting a tree and jumping the curb. the officer had to be pulled out of the wreckage. he's now in stable condition. >> ♪♪ >> happening today, new jersey governor chris christie will finally end all speculation and announce he too, is running for president. "action news" reporter erin o'hearn is live at the big board with that story. >> reporter: the new jersey governor known for his blunder outspoken style is throwing his hat in the ring after years of will he or won't he banter. christie will enter the race as an underdog. the tilt like it is governor is expected to make the campaign official today at 11 o'clock at livingston high school. perhaps because he was once the president of the student body there.

now ahead of today's announcement this video was posted sunday and all about confirms his white house ambitions. >> ♪♪ >> i get accused a lot of times of being too blunder and too direct and saying what's on my 90 just a mind just a little too loudly. >> reporter: experts insist christie has a lot to overcome in order to be a viable candidate for 2016 including a 30 percent approval rating as governor and the lingering 2013 bridgegate scandal. while no kneel authorities have found he was involved in the apparent act of political retribution questions about christie's involvement have been damaging. he's also faced criticism at home for the shut down of many atlantic city casinos that have punctured the state's economy and the pension system supported by christie that now has billions in unfunded liabilities. one new jersey political expert says christie's peaked in 2016 but it would be unwise to county him out now. >> i think in the darkest moments of bridgegate many

observers thought that perhaps this was an administration that was over. and thought that indictments would go broader but watching the governor over the many years, the five years that i've been watching him, it is clear that he is very capable of rebounding and that he is a masterful retail politician. >> reporter: again christie's announcement is expected at 11:00 a.m. today and we will be carrying that live on 6abc. christie will leave right after the speech to campaign in new hampshire so he's wasting no time, tam. >> all right, thank you, erin. vice president joe biden is now rumored to be considering a run for president. the wall street journal reports that before his untimely death his son beau biden encouraged his father to launch a bid. biden's other son hunter is also said to be supportive. a source tells the journal the vp set a deadline of early tying make a decision. >> 6:36 now. atlantic city electric predicts all of its customers that lost power in last week's storm should have electricity by the end of today. more than 1,000 power crews

and sun and some storms. 69 degrees is your temperature. the dewpoint has climbed a little bit over the last hour. we're up to 63. that's pushing a little farther above that 60-degree threshold from when we start to say yeah it's starting to begin to feel humid. especially if you start moving around you'll feel it. winds south-southeast at 3 miles per hour. future tracker six shows that you as we roll through the day and in through the morning the clouds get thicker and thicker thicker. why 12 o'clock there could be a couple showers perhaps a thunderstorm developing out to the west of the area. as we get to noon to 3 o'clock some of these storms will push in closer to the central portion of the region. there's less of a chance of any of this making it to the shore. if you're on the beach and you here a rumble of thunder or see threatening skies grab your stuff and get in right way. any storms that form could produce drenching downpours maybe gusty winds in some cases. by 6 o'clock the model wants to ease this stuff back to the west but i'm going allow for something coming through the immediate region. later on this evening it looks like we start to see things die down although both adam.

cecily tonight on channel 17 and 6abc will probably have something to show you on radar. in terms of severe probability there's not a high chance but the storm prediction center does have a wide area covering much of the eastern united states for the potential of a strong thunderstorm or two and this actually, the eastern edge of it does go all the way through our region almost to the north jersey shore. so all this means is that if a thunderstorm does form today there is a slight chance it could produce strong gusty winds. just to reiterate take cover indoors on the lower floors if one heads your way. 80 by 11 o'clock, 85 by two. your high today will be 86 at about 3 o'clock and it will be more humid than yesterday. high temperatures from north to south only 80 in allentown and about 80 down the shore as well. want to quickly go in closer to the shore and remind you there's the chance of rip currents. even though it's nice on the beach and nice in the ocean water only swim next to the lifeguards in new jersey and probably be a good idea in the

delaware shore regions as well. 79 degrees for the phillies first pitch tonight and 74 in the ninth inning, a possible thunderstorm but hopefully dry. your exclusive accuweather 7-day, 86 is today's high. those afternoon thunderstorms possible in the evening as well, some drenchers here and there. and then humid tomorrow with more thunderstorms with a cold front on the doorstep a high of 87. possibly unsettled on thursday 87 degrees. i don't think there's a big chance of a thursday thunderstorm but we'll leave the mention in there and then while there is a chance of a little bit of rain on friday morning it looks like high pressure delivers us basic al nice day overall. and a high of 84. for the fourth of july a mix of sun and clouds, humidity building back in a little bit a high of 86 and a slight chance of a late day or evening pop-up thunderstorm but at this point it doesn't look like a washout. it's one of those days where it will be a good idea to tune in to melissa magee since it's saturday night before you head out just to make sure that everything is high and dry. >> okay, will dodge thank you david. it's 6:40. up next home grown terror. a new jersey native.
