to. >> how about this, an officer gives a ride to two young kid who missed their school bus. sounded like the right thing to do. >> but their mommies furious. why the officer now has to

into police after witnesses placed him at the the the murder scene of james stuhlman. this is in overbrook. the the the guy was simply walking his dog in the 6600 block of wood crest avenue about a week ago. in fact a week ago yesterday. police say that hamilton and 15 year-old brandon smith, who was already in custody, are charged with murder, as adults. the so smith and another person we are not identifying who is 14 years old at the scene. everybody is now in custody. the night of the murder they gave statements to police. the the youngest of them the 14 year-old, was charged as a juvenile and faces robbery and not murder charges. police are trying to figure out why a man was walking around north philadelphia with a loaded shotgun last night. >> the gun man after receiving a 911 call this happened around is 1:00 a.m. steve, you have details on what happened. >> reporter: well, this snow right now, not that the police were reminded but this is

secondary minder in the last few hours what they are facing every day. it was snowing two weeks ago last night when robert wilson was kill. so despite the the wet ther, bad things still happen. on the the two weeks to the moment guys working the shift last night they get the call, to look for a guy, with a gun on the the same street robert wilson was killed lehigh avenue up in north philadelphia. a lady stops him and says there is the guy over there with the gun. so police a approach him. they go drop the gun. they are in uniform. they are in the marked car. he doesn't drop the gun. he raises it and points it at two officers. they take cover. he drops the gun as he's running away from him. runs in the bar where people in the bar saw him outside the bar with the the gun and they also called police to say there is a guy out here with the gun. we don't know if he is coming into rob us or what. he runs back in the bar. he takes off his shoes. his headed sweat shirt. gets back out of the car and when the police go in there they thought they had doors

covered. he just ran out of here with no shoes and took off his hooded shirt. they radio that. two other officers catch him. they bring him back to the bar. they will all identify him the on the baron lehigh avenue. two officers had gunpointed at him. you can see the gun on the hood of the police car, a 12 gauge mossberg shotgun this can kill a cop even if the cop has a bullet-proof vest on. that is power of it when you are point blank. we have talk to inspector scott small about the officer's feeling on the street in the same area and we talk to commissioner ramsey about what they are facing these days. >> the fact that the police officer was shot and killed, just recently, has all police officers, on edge. added stress for all police officers when they get a radio call of the person with the gun or in this case somebody flags them down and said there is a person down the street with the gun. >> shotgun pointed, fired a round, didn't strike anything. guy is in custody. we have the shotgun recovered. but again, i mean we have got a lot of violence occurring

out there on our streets. there is some people that want to stick their head in the sand and pretend that is in the an issue that it is all about police and what police do but the reality is we've got a the lot of violent people out there. help us fix the problem. help us get them off the the streets so they cannot harm anyone else. >> reporter: people at dougi's cafe that is a good sign for police that they are not doing this all by themselves. people knew something was wrong with this guy. commissioner ramsey told us that 1500 guns were taken off the people on the streets that shouldn't be carrying guns just last year. that is almost like five guns a day they are finding on people without a shot being fired by the way by the police in those 1500 cases. >> all right steve get out of the weather there. 8:08. sixty-four year-old woman had to be rushed to the hospital after being rescued from the eighth floor of the high rise apartment fire. officials say women was burn over 60 percent of her body.

it takes away the joy of learning in a classroom, which was one of the reasons we all became teachers - to see the bright look on their face when you finally got them. ros: it's those years where we had that teacher who gave us a little extra, who spent a little bit more time with us, who made us stay after school, who kept calling our parent. a standardized test is one of the weakest ways to assess student learning and student knowledge. jim: it's detrimental. standardized testing is sucking the air out of classrooms.

the friday before i left for the the caribbean, i realized, my passport was going to expire about a week after, in about a week. the but i could still make the trip, inside of the time of the expiration, right. >> you are okay. >> no. >> i went to the the web site of the country i was going to, they said you need to have, it

it is water ice. >> water, water. >> okay. probably dax has no idea what we're talking about. sketch hart, parentally he gets along pretty well with his ex-wife. he bought her something for her birthday. he does have have, dax, a fiance a so what did he get her. >> he bought her a beautiful, brand new, cadillac escalade. >> it is gorgeous, great car. she instagramed a photo out of it. the she's very excited. she was in need of a car, kevin found out. he said, you know, i will help you get that car because it sound like his ex-wife and his current fiance have kind of mended all of the drama between the the two of them accounts torey hart had gone on twitter ranting and raving saying he had cheated on her with this new fiance and there

was bad black for a long time and it seems like new they have put all that behind them. they are doing what is best for the kid, even now the fiance and ex-wife hang out together at the the kid soccer game or i'm sorry, basketball games. they are doing well. kevin said you guys doing fine i'll get you this car. you can pick out any car you want and she chose the escalade. >> any car you want. >> what would you choose, alex, if you could have any car you want. >> would i do a lexus convertible. >> what would you pick, mike. >> i don't know. >> dax, do you have a car you you want. >> what do you drive. >> i would say, kevin, i need a bugot i. >> sure. >> you know we love the the beiber, the tool, justin beiber. he at one point almost a year ago, dax, that he egged his neighbor's house.

>> american that at this point. the guy had gone after him. he won the the court case over the egging. the justin had to pay $80,000 to fix the damages and all that stuff. new that same neighbor jeff schwartz is going have after beiber again. he is now suing him, saying that he suffered all this mental anguish, living next to justin beiber, i guess there was obscenities thrown around toward his wife and his daughter, that justin terrorized his neighborhood driving fast, screaming things at him, having parties, at one point i guess the neighbor had stopped justin because he was driving fast in the neighborhood and claims that the body guard called the neighbor a a little jew boy and so all this is in this lawsuit and he is going after beiber and he wants machine for emotional distress.

>> why does he bring it up now this happened a couple years ago. >> i don't know, at this point justin is in the living in the neighborhood. you have chloe kardashian there, there is a lot more peaceful. i would say just let it go. >> let it go. >> we will let you go, you have a great weekend. >> thanks, guys have a great one. >> that is an entertainment segment. i want to a announce we have another skit today. and i had forgotten, to measure. i didn't measure your face. it does that actually fit. it kind of does. >> okay. you have to keep pushing. >> there we go. >> so hang around, right at the top of the nine and we have been missing you, sun. so watch for the "good day philadelphia" art players,

2016, 2017, yeah, january of 2017, they will move to new york city, and vacation home would be magnum pi's house. >> yes, exactly. >> hawaii. >> coming up, ladies and gentlemen, are husband better cooks then their wife's. a new study has shown the result.

what's happened to snacking? how did it become absent-mindedly eating one after the next, after the next? so predictable and so unsatisfying? what about pulling up a chair, a stool, a beanbag, and actually tasting our food. we are a creamy cheese that still believes in the beauty of a knife, in the elegant swipe of a . . . swipe. of course, that doesn't mean you can't dunk us or scoop us up. enjoy every single, sol-i-tar-y bite. the laughing cow. reinvent snacking.
