A teen died on a North Philadelphia street overnight and a man, bleeding profusely, dipped into a house after gunfire rang out.

The 18-year-old and 37-year-old were shot right outside their homes along N Darien Street near Lehigh Avenue around 11:25 p.m. Wednesday, said Philadelphia Police.

Medics pronounced the teen – who was shot in the head – dead at the scene. Others medics rushed the man – who had darted into a home after being shot – to Temple University Hospital in stable condition with two gunshot wounds to his stomach.

It appeared the gunman targeted his victims, shooting the teen three times at point blank range said police.

No word yet on suspects in this shooting.

Another man died along Pike Street in the city’s Nicetown section overnight. Officers found the man dead under a pickup truck, said police. It appeared he had gone about 75 feet as he tried to escape the shooting.

Anyone with information on either homicide is asked to contact Philadelphia Police.

Blocked wheelchair ramps, troublesome transportation and non-existent visual aids have frustrated some people with disabilities attending the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

The troubles even forced at least one delegate to avoid attending part of the convention because accommodations couldn’t be made for her.

A handful of delegates and a committee member shared the issues they faced over the past few days with NBC10 Wednesday.

“Something’s going wrong, big time,” said Vivian Queija, a delegate from Washington State.

Queija has mobility issues and uses a cain and wears a knee brace. She had to walk clear across the Pennsylvania Convention Center on Monday, leaning on a fellow delegate, to get to convention buses because staff were not sure where she could be provided a wheelchair.

Once she got there, the 57-year-old waited outside, without a seat, for a bus to come.

“There’s this huge line, in the heat, and there’s no buses,” she said.

When a bus eventually did arrive, she said she had to help the transportation coordinators hold back non-disabled people from boarding the bus as another delegate, who uses a wheelchair, was lifted on-board.

“[The coordinator] was trying to hold back a mob,” she said.

The situation at the Wells Fargo Center improved for her, but not for others.

Queija’s delegation jumped into action to help lift a delegate from Idaho, who uses a wheelchair, over a curb after the perimeter fence was put down over the wheelchair ramp.

The man had been dropped off on the opposite side of the arena from where ADA accessibility accommodations had been organized, Oueija said.

“They helped wheel him all the way in,” she said.

Queija shared the experience recounted the experience in a Facebook Live interview Wednesday.

Barbara Ollmann, another member of the Washington delegation, has a broken foot and recently had shoulder surgery, preventing her from rolling her own wheelchair.

Ollmann said she made arrangements to have an attendant push her around prior to coming to the convention. But for two days, convention staff couldn’t provide someone.

Frustrated and tired, she chose to take Wednesday off from the convention because of the issue.

“It made me feel like I was a piece of crap and not worth their time,” she said in a phone interview.

Twice, the 55-year-old delegate from Tacoma, Washington, had to make a football-field-length walk from a security checkpoint to the Wells Fargo Center because there was no one to push her wheelchair, she said.

“They made a lot of promises that they didn’t fulfill,” she said.

Another disabled delegate Syed Hassan, a 55-year-old credentials committee member from Arlington, Texas, has been unable to sit with the Texas delegation because their location in the arena doesn’t have ADA accessibility.

Instead, he’s on the arena floor with the Nebraska delegation.

“They should have included people with disabilities in their committees,” he said of the Democratic National Convention Committee. “A lot of things were overlooked. It could have been much better.”

The troubles weren’t limited to those with mobility issues. Mark Lasser of the Colorado delegation said a braille version of Tuesday’s roll call ballot was not provided.

“We couldn’t see who I was voting for,” he said standing on the busy concourse Wednesday.

Lasser, 49, and fellow delegate, Jestin Samson, a 27-year-old from Orange County, California who is also blind, said they had trouble securing floor passes for dedicated sighted guides and weren’t provided audio descriptions of convention events, among other issues.

“I would have really benefited from audio description, what’s on the screen there, who those individuals are. Maybe those individuals are someone I look up to and respect and I’d like to know [who they are] so I can applause too,” Samson said.

Lasser said he contacted the party back in April, after learning he was chosen to be a delegate, about being provided aids. But even with months of lead-way, he wasn’t helped.

“I just think they didn’t want to be bothered,” Lasser said.

In a statement, the DNCC said they are "unwaveringly committed to the letter and spirit of the ADA."

"As part of our convention planning we established a specific unit dedicated to meeting the accommodation needs of our attendees and worked with our various planners to ensure that our convention is inclusive of people with disabilities, seniors and individuals who need a reasonable accommodation," the statement read in part. 

The committee went on to say they made sure all public facilities were accessible, that accessible transportation and mobility assistance was provided and that people with disabilities were included in "all levels" of planning.

Several convention attendees who had accommodation issues said they were treated better at past conventions, like the 2012 event in Charlotte, North Carolina.

For Queija, it’s a question of commitment to inclusion that the party promises.

“We have Trump making fun of disabilities and we are saying ‘Oh yeah, we’re the champions’ and this is the way we’re treating people with disabilities?”

A gas main break led to the evacuation of a Delaware County day care Thursday.

A paving contractor struck a 2-inch natural gas main near Today's Child Learning Center along Berkley Avenue in Clifton Heights, Pennsylvania shortly after 9 a.m., said PECO.

No one was hurt and police evacuated homes in a radius of a few blocks, said Clifton Heights Police.

Some of the evacuees were taken to the borough hall where about 40 to 50 children from the day care were taken, said authorities.

It wasn’t immediately clear what contractors were working on when they hit the gas main.

PECO got the gas capped before 10 a.m. and police began letting people back into the area a short time later as PECO crews continue to monitor the situation, said PECO.

English Gardner is gearing up to take home gold at the 2016 Rio Olympics and she credits her New Jersey roots for helping her develop into the athlete she is today.

Gardner’s early start in track and field ensured her success in the sport. Gardner began running at the age of seven and is now a three-time USA Track and Field champion, two-time international champion, and two-time NCAA Outdoor 100-meter champion at Oregon.

"I grew up in Willingboro, New Jersey and it wasn’t one of the greatest places to be.," Gardner said. "You either get stuck in the culture or you develop and find a way out. Track was my outlet. I started track at seven and a lot of runners don’t start until they are in high school. So, I think I was kind of born to do this sport."

Gardner eventually honed her skills running at Eastern High School but not before getting coaching from her father.

"Growing up, in high school my dad coached me, he was more of a let’s get you as strong as possible then let your natural speed just take you and it ended up working well," Gardner said. "I ended up running 11.04 in high school then I moved on to college. He was more about let’s be ballistic, strong, powerful and quick.

Her training began to pay off but the dream to bring home an Olympic gold medal began when she was just a girl.

"The first time I thought about it I was 9," said Gardner. "I won my first USA championship and then I won my first state title in high school and got invited to the state dinner. I won MVP that year and I stood up in front of all of the people of South Jersey, I told them I would not stop running track until I got an Olympic gold and the whole room got quiet because you have a 90-pound girl telling all these people that I’m going to be an Olympian. I was so serious and adamant about it. I will never forget what it felt like to say those words."

Gardner was well on her way to becoming an Olympian until a knee injury -- suffered while playing in a charity flag football game -- stalled her run to the top.

"I planted my feet tried to do a spin move my foot stayed one way and my body went another way," said Gardner who was just a high school sophomore at the time. "I completely blew out my knee. I tore my ACL, MCL and my meniscus vertically and laterally."

Her world completely changed after her injury, colleges that wanted her began to drop their offers. She walked out of one meeting with a school crying.

"(I) turned to my dad and said 'it wasn’t meant to be,'" said Gardner. "Then Oregon contacted me and said they didn’t care what happened and so for me them having hope and faith that I would be able to be the athlete that I needed to be for the program was all that I needed...

"I came back my senior year (of high school) and ended up running a 11.5," Gardner said. "It was a blessing in disguise."

This year, Gardner is sponsored by Nike, coached by John Smith in Los Angeles and ready to bring home gold calling her shot a "redemption."

"In 2012 I was 19 and the only college athlete to be in the final for the 100 meters," said Gardner. "I ended up being the alternate and not even going to London and that hurt really deep.

What it means to get a shot at being the "fastest woman" isn't lost on Gardner.

"My main reason for running is way bigger than me," she said. "When you ask people who the fastest woman is, they don’t really know what to say. So for me that is why I am here, because women in track and field have done phenomenal things but are flying underneath the radar. I want to change that. Redemption year is here and I’m excited."

Rejoice! The heat wave is finally ending! We’ve had so much hot weather building up over the past week, we were destined for some severe weather and that’s exactly what we’re expecting tonight.

• Severe Weather Alerts

However, that severe weather will be a bit different than what we usually see with summer storms. The main difference is the storms are moving slower than normal (at 15-20 mph) as opposed to the traditional 35-40 mph or the 60 mph that we’ve seen in the past few months. The good news is slower storms reduce the damaging wind risk by a bit, but the bad news is that the slower storms almost guarantee that any storm cell is capable of creating flash flooding in areas with poor drainage. That's why a Flash Flood Watch is in effect for most of the region through Friday morning.

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is also in effect for most of the region until midnight while a Flood Advisory is in effect for Philadelphia, Montgomery, Delaware, Chester, Gloucester, Salem, New Castle and Kent counties until 6:30 p.m. An Air Quality Alert is also in effect for Philadelphia, Montgomery, Delaware and Chester counties.

• Live Interactive Radar

It will not be uncommon to see areas with 2-3 inches of rain in a very short period of time with these storms. That means you should take extra care driving tonight as it may be hard to see flood spots on the roads. Do NOT drive through wet areas if you can’t see the pavement underneath.

THIS AFTERNOON’S STORMS:

Storms moved in around 2:30 p.m. and are primarily impacting the PA Suburbs, Philadelphia, Delaware and South Jersey. The biggest threat out of these storms is flash flooding and hail. We’ve already seen large hail in Chester County. That kind of hail can certainly cause damage to cars as well as anyone outside. Lightning will be another big concern this evening. We’ve also gotten reports of downed trees and power lines, so further wind damage is not out of the question.

TONIGHT’S STORMS:

These storms will primarily be between 11PM and 4AM. Our models are indicating these may be the strongest of the night south of Philadelphia, especially in Delaware and the Jersey Shore. If you’re in those areas, you should expect to be awoken by thunder during the night if you’re a light sleeper

An influx of people in Philadelphia is helping bring in the money for merchandise vendors here for the DNC. As the days roll on, vendors have already made some serious cash after setting up shop around the city. 

David Mullen, from Springfield, Illinois, traveled to Philadelphia to sell both Hillary and Bernie gear on the city streets. His three-person operation treks around the country selling buttons, t-shirts, and bags. They were also at the RNC in Ohio. Mullen set his table up along, what he called, 'Protester’s Alley' along the Wells Fargo Center before the crowds began.

"Business is good! I think I sold about 80 shirts just yesterday… People who love their candidates want to wear them and it’s something to remember the moment by," explains Mullen, who worked in a labor union for 25 years before becoming his own boss.

[[388488322, C,600,451]]

Mullen explains there is a big difference in attitudes at the DNC than the RNC. Personally, he says he felt 'weird' about selling Trump gear at the RNC because the messages can be downright brutal.

"They had shirts and buttons that just said really bad things, things you wouldn’t see anywhere else and things that definitely would not fly here," he explains and mentions he might have done better business if he had been selling those things. "You don’t see that type of stuff here, you don’t see Hillary supporters making shirts saying mean things about Bernie or about Trump. "

Mullen’s operation was based right by the Wells Fargo Center; and by the Convention Center, vendors are also seeing successful numbers.

[[388584232, C, 600, 450]]

Luke Montgomery, from New York, is campaign manager of a political action committee called 'First Lady Bill.' On the corner of 13 and Arch Streets, he and his boyfriend Santiago Durazzo, who was dressed as Bill Clinton in drag, sold shirts for $20 sporting the slogan 'Bill for First Lady.' The group supports LGBT initiatives and every shirt sold helps to make a difference.

"We want to put the 'party' back into the Democratic Party," explains Montgomery, between purchases. Bill Clinton dressed in drag is a fan favorite and has helped sell "hundreds of t-shirts" since the beginning of the convention.

Visitors who might not be interested in a new closet item or button can also find vendors selling artwork created for the event. One artist, Mark G, from Wildwood, New Jersey, gave passersby on Arch Street near the convention center a chance to sign a large portrait he drew in black pen of Hillary Clinton.

[[388488702, C,600,448]]

"I was in advertising for 30 years but I’ve been drawing my whole life, probably since 5 or 6," he explains while handing more pens out for people to sign the piece with and asking for donations, which many eager pedestrians were willing to give.

TaraLei Griffin began to cry shortly after 9 a.m. and moments later became the nucleus of a 20-person hug.

It was during the wake up meeting for protest group Democracy Spring, inside the tiny front room of a row house in Mantua, on the first day of the Democratic National Convention.

"I’ve been diagnosed with MS," Griffin told the activist assemblage. She brought it up during the "I feel like” portion of the program. Griffin’s began: "I’m not feeling very well today."

Multiple sclerosis is a degenerative disease of the body’s nervous system. Griffin isn’t sure yet how serious or far along her illness is. She’ll find out more the week after the DNC.

The 25-year-old comes from all over. She grew up in Minnesota, but in recent years her family has lived in Tennessee. Not that she’s been there much the past year. She learned of Democracy Spring while watching a video by online liberal news outlet, The Young Turks. After a couple days thinking about the protest lifestyle, Griffin reached out to Democracy Spring in December last year.

The group is part of a diverse and varied protest faction that came to Philadelphia for the DNC. Democracy Spring specifically advocates for the elimination of corporate donors and the wealthy’s influence on government. Members believe that all other issues -- climate change, education, poverty -- can be addressed more efficiently if Big Money is taken out of the political process. The group’s motto is: "Money ain’t speech. Corporations aren’t people.”

Griffin’s been part of the inner circle of Democracy Spring since April when she met Kai Newkirk in Washington D.C. Newkirk is in charge of the protest group, which sprung from a larger organization called 99Rise.

She was one of 1,400 arrested on the steps of the Capitol in the spring, what activists like Newkirk describe as the largest action of civil disobedience in American history. Members of Democracy Spring are prideful of their arrest records. Brendan Orsinger, who quit his job at the Pentagon to join the movement, has been arrested eight times. Mary Zeiser, a California nomad and student of the art of non-violent resistance, has been arrested three times.

In Philly, Democracy Spring wanted to bring their non-violent “risk arrest” approach to the protests of the Democratic National Convention. After a march Monday afternoon down South Broad Street from Marconi Plaza, Newkirk and 10 others from his group succeeded in getting arrested -- after much effort. They jumped a police barricade, were taken into custody temporarily, then given $50 citations.

Griffin was not one of those arrested. So soon after being diagnosed with MS, she served the group in an auxiliary and communications role. 

"It’s been stressful," Griffin said Monday morning, prior to the first actions of the DNC week. “I want to stay with Democracy Spring. I’m heading back to D.C. after this week to find out more. There’s a lot up in the air.”

Griffin said she was very quiet, an introvert even, before joining the activist ranks.

"It all changed when I joined. Now, I’m very talkative," she said, petting her nine-year-old dog, Layla.

The first sign that Griffin had a deep-seated interest in politics and activism was one Halloween early on in her life.

"First, I was a witch. Then, the next year, I was Princess Leia. Then I wanted to be an American flag."

When she goes back to Washington, D.C., this weekend, she’ll return to Democracy Spring’s base of operations, a rented house in Cheverly, Maryland. About six others have lived there when Griffin stayed in the house the past several months.

TaraLei grew up in a conservative family in a conservative part of Minnesota. And she thought she was conservative, until a high school teacher in her hometown of Arden Hills gave her class a test with questions to rate where one falls on the political spectrum 

"I took one of those tests that puts you in a liberal category or conservative," she said. "I said, 'Is this right?' after looking at the result. He said, 'Yeah, you’re very liberal.'"

Anywhere from 10 to 20 people lived in the two-story house on Brandywine Street since the beginning of July. People go five or six to a room, sleeping bags covering every inch of the bedroom floors. One room has a set of bunk beds.

No one seems to mind the clutter: a pile of shoes in the corner near the front door, a bushel of apples under a table crowded with laptops and printed signs.

Tofu is on the menu most days. On Monday, Nicole Hazzard, a North Carolina woman who in Her 40s is one of the oldest members of the group, cooked tofu over potatoes. Some ate cereal while everyone prepped for the first day’s actions.

Griffin made a run to Target in one of the collective’s vehicles. An hour later, she returned with supplies for the house and the March.

She worried about her legs in the heat. Extreme conditions, she said, brought about her MS symptoms -- loss of feeling in her extremities after initial "pins and needles all over."

Hours later, after Newkirk and several others had been hauled off by police, Griffin sat on the outskirts of the protests near the AT&T Station of SEPTA’s Broad Street Line. By 6:30, she and a couple other protesters packed some things and were heading back to Mantua to regroup. 

"It’s been an awesome day," Griffin said in the grassy median of South Broad Street, over the still-strong chants of "Show me what democracy looks like! This is what democracy looks like!" And "Lock Her Up!"

There would be more protesting tomorrow for Griffin and Democracy Spring. Two days later, on Wednesday, another contingent of Democracy Spring members would be arrested -- or that is, according to Philadelphia police, taken into custody and given citations for disorderly conduct.

On Thursday, Griffin said she believed the week went well. Soon, she’d be hopping a ride back to D.C. To find out more about her future. She saw herself staying in the Democracy Spring house, and perhaps she’d help the group find a new home for when their lease runs out at the end of August.

Asked about her future, she pondered life in D.C. And in the activist community, and in the workplace. She enjoys writing.

"After my (doctor’s) appointment on Monday, I’ll be figuring things out," she said.

She paused for a moment, then she let out a single laugh.

"I think I may try to get a part-time job with the Young Turks," Griffin said.

An anonymous but kind stranger handed 'DNC Survival Kit' bags to some police officers working Democratic National Convention details in Center City on Thursday.

Philadelphia Police Lt. Steve Clark's squad received one of the bags, which contained a thank-you note that reads:

"DNC Survival Kit ...
1) Life Savers - B/c that is what you are!
2) Gum - So we can all stick together.
3) Tootsie Roll - Sometimes we have to roll w/ the punches!
4) Laffy Taffy - Laughter = Best stress reliever
5) Starburst - For an extra burst of energy during these 12-hour shifts.
Thank you for being great! xoxo"

The treats were packed into a black gift bag with a blue line -- often a symbol used to show support for law enforcement -- across it.

Sharron Cooks is visible.

It’s not just her tall, slender stature. When the proud transgender woman from Philadelphia walks onto the royal blue floor of the 2016 Democratic National Convention, the entire party sees her and her community.

"I think visibility is very important. People need to see themselves reflected,” she said Thursday, hours before Hillary Clinton was set to accept the party’s nomination for president and the first openly trans person, Sarah McBride, addressed the convention.

Cooks, 38, is the only black trans woman delegate at the convention. There are 27 other transgender delegates serving this year — the most in the party’s history.

"I think it is important that people are given a voice to share the issues and grievances that affect trans women of color."

The increased strength provides an opportunity, Cooks said, to break down stereotypes so that acceptance in society is expanded.

"I urge other members of the trans community to get involved," she said. "It will help lift a lot of misconceptions that people have about our community."

Cooks transitioned when she was 17 and considers herself lucky to be alive. The average life expectancy for trans women is 35 years old, due to poor access to health care, unemployment and violence, she said. Even with increased awareness about hardships and more social services, she said enough is not being done.

"If we had programs based on education, we could develop leaders who are executives and in roles of leadership," Cooks said. "It is up to us as trans people to create a better quality of life."

So when Pennsylvania Rep. Brian Sims called her one day this May asking her to serve as a delegate, the longtime advocate felt compelled to oblige.

Cooks cast her ballot for Clinton on Tuesday. She believes the first woman president will bring a unique perspective to government and the Oval Office.

"All leadership is important and a lot of the resources are dominated by white cis-males," she said, using a term that describes a person who identifies as the gender they were assigned at birth. "It is refreshing to give opportunities to other people they see striving for excellence."

For Philadelphians battling homelessness and hunger, the Democratic National Convention could have an unlikely life-changing impact that will last long after conventioneers pack up and leave town this weekend.

An extra $61,000 set aside by the city to fund about 100 additional respite beds for people who are homeless throughout the city during the DNC, plus another $25,000 for additional street outreach, have helped dozens of people not only get off the city's streets, but begin taking steps toward escaping homelessness, city officials said on Thursday.

"The respite beds are an opportunity for them to feel better and start doing something different," Liz Hersh, director of the city's Office of Homeless Services, said.

For people battling hunger, a food-rescue app launched ahead of the DNC by a group of hunger-relief organizations helped city food pantries get about 7,000 additional meals left over from DNC events to those in need, said Megha Kulshreshtha, founder of Food Connect and creator of the app.

"With the influx of visitors, we have seen a steady stream of donations and a lot of people reaching out enthusiastically," Kulshreshtha told NBC10. "People are saying, 'Hey, this is wonderful, we have so much food left over we can't serve.' People are just really happy we can donate this food."

On the street in Center City, a woman who is homeless said she's noticed the increase in outreach workers.

"They come every day," Nicole Butler, 40, who said she's been homeless for three months, said as she sat in a breezeway off of 15th and Market streets.

"It's just I'm not ready" to go into shelter, she said.

Hersh said in the first 10 days the added funding, which kicked in over the weeks leading up to the DNC, city outreach workers made contact with 1,000 people, and about 15 percent of them agreed to come into shelter. She said a little more than half of the extra respite beds -- which also come with additional counselors -- were utilized as people stayed temporarily and then moved on to the next level of help.

"The killer thing is it shows what we can do if we have the resources," Hersh said, adding that she hopes the city will be able to continue to fund the extra respite beds long after the convention.

The food-rescue app, although it was launched for the DNC, is here to stay, Kulshreshtha said.

"It sounds like everybody's thought about [donating extra food] and wanted to do it, so it's just making it easy for them," she said.

"[The app] prevents food waste and helps our friends and neighbors who face hunger. It's a win-win," said Tom Mahon, spokesman for the Greater Philadelphia Coalition Against Hunger, which helped launch the app. "This is just the beginning of a partnership that could save countless pounds of food that otherwise would be wasted."

Hersh said the city is now analyzing whether it can continue to fund the additional beds brought for the DNC.

She said she hopes the city can keep the beds added for the DNC long after the convention leaves town, and that officials are in the process of analyzing whether they can continue to be funded.

"What we don't want to do is send [people] back out," Hersh said. "That's one step forward, two steps back."

A young girl was taken to the hospital after she was struck by a stray bullet during a shooting in North Philadelphia.

Police told NBC10 the 10-year-old girl was walking with her grandmother on the 3100 block of N. Rosewood Street around 6 p.m. Thursday when at least one gunman opened fire.

The girl was struck once in the left forearm. She was taken to Temple University Hospital where she is currently in stable condition.

No arrests have been made. Police told NBC10 six to ten shots were fired and they're looking for two men who they believe are connected to the shooting.

The shooting occurred around the same time a 26-year-old man was struck by stray bullets while driving with his 4-year-old daughter in Germantown. The man is currently in critical condition. His daughter was not hurt during the shooting.

Before Hillary Clinton could take the stage Thursday night in Philadelphia to give a historic speech, a Wilmington, Delaware, native made some history of her own when she stood at the podium and said, "My name is Sarah McBride, and I am a proud transgender American."

McBride became the first openly transgender person to address a major political party convention. The American University graduate came out as transgender four years ago while serving as student body president. Today she is the national press secretary for the Human Rights Campaign, and says that a lot of work remains on behalf of the transgender community.

"Will we be a nation where there's only one way to love, only one way to look, and only one way to live?" McBride said on stage Thursday night. "Or, will we be a nation where everyone has the freedom to live openly and equally; a nation that's 'Stronger Together?' That's the question in this election."

McBride said the struggle for equality became more urgent for her when she learned that her future husband, a transgender man named Andy, was battling cancer.

"Even in the face of his terminal illness — this 28-year-old — he never wavered in his commitment to our cause and his belief that this country can change," McBride said.

The couple married in 2014, and Andy passed away just five days later.

"Knowing Andy left me profoundly changed," she said. "But more than anything else, his passing taught me that every day matters when it comes to building a world where every person can live their life to the fullest."

McBride has been a champion for transgender rights. After coming out in her college’s student-run newspaper, The Eagle, she later became the first out trans woman to work at the White House when she interned in the Office of Public Engagement. Several months ago she took a viral selfie inside a women’s restroom in North Carolina, where a controversial law enacted in the state bans transgender people from using government building bathrooms in line with their gender identities. 

The spotlight continued to shine on McBride Thursday night at the Democratic National Convention, and she used the attention to continue to work for her cause.

"Today in America, LGBTQ people are still targeted by hate that lives in both laws and in hearts,” she said. "Many still struggle just to get by. But I believe tomorrow can be different. Tomorrow, we can be respected and protected -- especially if Hillary Clinton is our president. And that's why I'm proud to stand here and say that I'm with her."

A Delaware man was arrested for his sixth DUI, according to officials.

A Delaware State Trooper who was parked on East Diamond Street in Dagsboro, Delaware Wednesday shortly after 9 p.m. spotted a 2012 GMC Sierra traveling northbound on Power Plant Road without a headlight, police said. The trooper pulled the pickup truck over on Iron Branch Road. He then spoke with the driver of the vehicle, identified as Gary Levis, 52, of Millsboro, according to investigators.

The trooper said he smelled an odor of marijuana and alcohol coming from Levis. Levis was taken into custody and officials determined he had been driving under the influence, police said. State Troopers also found 16 Oxycodone pills and 16.74 grams of marijuana inside Levis’ vehicle, according to investigators.

Levis was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, driving while suspended or revoked, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, possession of marijuana and driving without two headlights. He was arraigned and committed to the Sussex Correctional Institution on $12,650 secured bond.

Officials say Levis was already convicted of DUI five times prior to his arrest Wednesday.

A man is fighting for his life after he was struck by stray bullets while driving with his young daughter in Philadelphia Thursday.

The 25-year-old man was driving with his 4-year-old daughter on Germantown Avenue and Wister Street around 6 p.m. when at least one gunman opened fire.

The man was shot once in the left side of the head and once in the right shoulder. He was taken to the hospital where he is currently in critical condition. The man’s daughter was not hurt during the shooting and is currently staying with family members.

Police don’t believe the man was the gunman’s intended target. No arrests have been made. The shooting occurred around the same time a 10-year-old girl was shot in North Philadelphia. Police say the girl was also an innocent bystander who was struck by a stray bullet.
