JOHNSTOWN, Pa. — Two things are almost always guaranteed inside the average barbershop: haircuts and political talk.

With Hillary Clinton arriving in Johnstown, Pennsylvania Saturday afternoon as part of her bus tour, Shear Magic Barbershop, located on 225 Market Street, seemed like a good place to go to hear the political views of some of the Cambria County city’s residents.

When I stepped inside I felt the shop’s vibrant energy despite the small space. The sounds of both a razor and a fan formed a constant humming noise in the background. About ten customers were inside sitting in all corners of the shop, either waiting silently for a cut or chatting amongst themselves. The shop's owner, 52-year-old Calvin Berkins, greeted me.

“You need a cut?” he asked.

When I told him I was actually interested in interviewing him and his customers about Hillary Clinton he didn’t skip a beat.

“Well interview me then,” he said, as he continued to cut a young boy’s hair inside the chair.

Berkins, who grew up in Norristown, Pennsylvania but moved to Johnstown where he opened his shop, described himself as a Democrat who voted for Bernie Sanders during the primary but supported Clinton once she became the party’s nominee.

“You’ve got Hillary or Trump,” he said. “I’m voting for Hillary. I’m not a Trump person. Trump says what people want to hear. He’s never talking about the real issue. The real issue is jobs.”

Berkins’ concern about jobs stems from his belief that a lack of employment and high crime rate are in direct correlation with one another. He also had a simpler reason for his concern.

“The more jobs, the more people come in for haircuts,” he said.

[[388808072, C]]

Berkins then pointed towards 40-year-old Samuel Barber, who was sitting in the back of the shop with his teenage son, and said he was a good man for me to talk to. Barber, who works as a code enforcement officer for Johnstown, proved Berkins right, expressing his political views with little hesitation.

“I’m voting for Hillary,” Barber said. “Bernie Sanders? His plan wasn’t going to work. You can’t pay everybody $15 an hour. It’s just not feasible. It would kill all the small business.”

Barber was equally dismissive of Donald Trump.

“He says what everybody is feeling. But you can’t do what he wants to say. You can’t build a wall. How could you talk about immigration when America was built on immigrants? I’m a third-generation Italian. My family came from another part of the world.”

Barber described himself as a Democrat but admitted to having issues with some of the party’s policies, mainly their stance on social security and welfare.

“It’s too easy not to do anything in America,” he said. “It’s too easy to get a social security. It’s too easy to get welfare. Nobody wants to work and it becomes a generational thing. They’re starting to make it too easy not to work. We need to get back to our core values.”

Despite many of his views sounding like common GOP rhetoric, Barber insisted he wasn’t a Republican.

“The worst Democrat is going to be better than the best Republican,” he said. “I’m Democrat but I do have certain views that go different ways. I’m just an independent thinker.”

Another independent thinker inside the shop was 26-year-old Darryl Palmore. Originally from Washington, DC, Palmore went to high school in Johnstown and works as an assistant manager at a store in the city. He described himself as a Bernie Sanders supporter who is now, reluctantly, supporting Clinton.

“Normally I wouldn’t vote for any of them,” Palmore said. “But given the situation I have no choice but to vote for Hillary. I don’t feel like, given the situation that’s going on in America right now, that if Trump wins, things are going to get any better for the hardworking people. I don’t feel like he’ll help us at all.”

Palmore was initially drawn to Sanders because he felt like he directly addressed his concerns as a younger voter.

“I felt Bernie was talking directly to us on the grounds of education and the reform of the criminal justice system,” Palmore said. “She[Clinton] needs to do exactly what Bernie did. She needs to talk directly to us if she wants our vote.”

I thanked Berkins and his customers for allowing me to speak with them and left, feeling a bit surprised that I hadn’t met any Donald Trump supporters inside the shop. I soon discovered where many of them were however. They were waiting outside Johnstown Wire Technologies on 124 Laurel Ave where Clinton was expected to go on her private tour.

[[388806952, C]]

Dozens of Trump supporters were standing on one side of the street compared to only about a dozen Clinton supporters on the other side. The Trump supporters booed loudly as Clinton’s campaign bus arrived.

“She’s a modern-day Jezebel with blood on her hands,” Monica Morrill, one of the Trump supporters, told me. “If people don’t know their Bible history, go read the story about Jezebel. Hillary Clinton, you are a modern-day, 21st century Jezebel and we want you to leave the state of Pennsylvania. You don’t belong here.”

The complete contrast in political views expressed in two different parts of the same city was proof that a barbershop isn’t always a microcosm of a community. Instead, sometimes it’s simply one small slice of life out of many. Still, if Clinton plans on visiting Johnstown again and is hoping for a better reception, she may want to consider getting a haircut.

Relatives of a woman shot to death overnight in Montgomery County are desperate for answers as police investigate the shooting, which also left a second person dead.

The deadly double shooting unfolded at the Forest Gardens Apartments on the 100 block of Forest Avenue in Ambler about midnight, NBC10's Matt DeLucia learned at the scene. Details were scarce in the hours after the shooting, and police remained at the scene investigating late into Monday morning.

Kimberly Trunk said her 54-year-old sister, Janice Trunk, was one of the victims in the shooting. She said her sister lived there seven years and had no problems there, as far as she knew.

Trunk stood waiting for answers outside the building as police and Montgomery County District Attorney's Office investigators cordoned off the area and searched for clues. Trunk said she couldn't imagine why anyone would harm her sister.

"Nobody deserves this. She didn't deserve this," Trunk said. "She went to work and took care of her son. That's it."

Trunk said she received a call about 2 a.m. that her sister had been killed -- but had not learned any additional information in the early morning hours Monday. A neighbor told NBC10 she heard about five gunshots in the complex just before midnight.

The second victim's identity was not released early Monday afternoon, and no arrests were announced. Police did not provide any details on the deadly shooting.

Trunk pleaded for help to find her sister's killer, saying if anyone heard anything or saw anything, they should come forward and tell police.

"She's my last relative, that's it," Trunk said. "I don't have anybody now."

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. — It’s noon on Saturday and whole streets are empty. No one driving. No one walking. Vacant buildings, some large and some small, dot block after block.

'For Sale' signs are plenty.

“All these buildings are empty,” Jazmyne Kuhn said sitting on a bench in Central Park, the western Pennsylvania city’s neatly manicured town square.

“They’re just sitting there. These buildings could be used for anything,” she said.

The 20-year-old came to the park to play Pokemon Go after buying groceries at the Dollar General on the square’s northwestern edge. She’s dressed down in a green tank and yoga pants, hair under a scarf, and concerned about her future.

“I don’t have a job. I can’t find one. No one is hiring young [people],” she said.

Kuhn is an artist. She sells her work online to make ends meet. She’d love to be an animator, but said that’s out of reach in Johnstown.

“What I want to do would require so much college experience, and that would require so much money, and to have money, I’d have to have a job,” she said.

[[388798422, C]]

It’s a vicious cycle that's common in the town of 21,000 which is most famous for a series of floods that destroyed the community.

Johnstown has a poverty rate of 34 percent — twice the national average, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. More people are in poverty here than in Philadelphia, the most impoverished major city in the United States.

Young people, like Kuhn, are most affected, according to her and others her age.

Shaylyn Massey, 19, works as a call center representative for a local bank. But she’s the exception among the 47 members of her high school graduating class, she said.

“A lot of them don’t work. A lot of them just like make babysitting money and stuff like that. They don’t have a real job,” she said.

Most people Steve Ganser went to high school with are struggling. The 32-year-old says the Johnstown, once a major steel city, hasn’t been the same since milling went dark.

“The hospital is the main source of jobs in the area,” said Ganser, who now lives in the Harrisburg area. “The town, it's very depressed.”

[[388798402, C,640,480]]

Elders in need of work easily take open positions, Kuhn said, leaving many young people to choose welfare or "terrible work." The latter qualifies as slinging burgers in fast food restaurants and the like, she explains.

“People say ‘Help Wanted’, there’s a 'Help Wanted' sign over there, but if you’re young. If you’re around a young age, it’s absolutely impossible to get a job,” she said.

As Kuhn explained her situation in Central Park, the staff at Johnstown Wire Technologies, two miles away, prepared to welcome Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for a tour of their factory.

The company makes industrial-grade wiring used in transportation and electrical projects. Clinton is visiting the facility as part of a seven city, three day bus tour through Pennsylvania and Ohio to talk about her massive job creation proposal.

In the plan, Clinton says she’ll provide tax credits for apprenticeship training for trade jobs, support high-tech manufacturing and help make college affordable by lowering loan costs and making public colleges debt free.

[[338107532, C]]

Clinton touts the plan as the largest employment effort since World War II and vows to get it underway in her first 100 days in office, if elected.

Kuhn, who is undecided over who she’ll vote for, welcomes any help.

“We want to work. We have the drive to work, but no one will give us that chance and that is our problem, no one will give us that opportunity to work,” she said.

Massey agrees. An ardent Clinton supporter, she believes opportunity can be seized, if given the chance.

"If we had a little bit of hope, just reach that goal, we would be fine."

A Philadelphia Firefighter who died in the line of duty late last month will be laid to rest this week.

Gabriel Lee, 42, who served in the Fire Department more than 20 years, will be honored with a viewing at Deliverance Evangelistic Church, at 2001 W. Lehigh Ave. in North Philadelphia, Monday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. A second viewing for Lee will be held at the same church Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., immediately followed by a funeral service.

Immediately after the service, Lee will be interred at Ivy Hill Cemetery, 1201 Easton Rd. in Philadelphia.

Lee was working a night shift at North Philadelphia's Ladder 12 Engine 50, on Cambria Street near Broad, July 24 when he was found unresponsive in the basement. He was pronounced dead a short time later.

Fire Commissioner Adam Thiel said Lee was a well-respected veteran firefighter. A steady stream of fellow firefighters and city officials, including Mayor Jim Kenney, stopped to pay their respects at Temple University Hospital in the immediate aftermath of his death.

A water main break in Philadelphia caused SEPTA detours Monday morning.

The break happened on Arrott Street near Horrocks in the Frankford neighborhood -- not far from Frankford Transportation Center and the Market-Frankford Line's Margaret-Orthodox station -- before 7 a.m.

SEPTA routes K, J and 75 were detoured around the break as Water Department personnel responded.

It's unclear how long the routes will be detoured.

A man was found dead of a gunshot wound to his head on a street in Philadelphia's Tacony neighborhood Monday morning, and police are investigating.

So far, police said they don't know who the man is or who killed him. His body was found about 5 a.m. Monday on Keystone Street near Cheltenham Avenue, by a weeded area and not far from homes. A resident of the block told NBC10 he could see the man's body lying on the street as investigators worked at the scene this morning.

Police estimated the man to be in his 20s. They said he had a single gunshot wound to his head.

Detectives are investigating.

Hillary Clinton and her running mate Tim Kaine visited seven cities as part of the “Stronger Together” bus tour to tout the candidates’ job creation plan.

Along the way, I met ten young people who came out to see the candidates. Asking each what their major priorities are in this election, all had different answers. Here’s what they shared:

DOUG HELLMAN, 27
Philadelphia, Pa.
Supports: Hillary Clinton
Issue: Criminal Justice Reform

 “I support her position in the Truth in Sentencing Act. I think she’s going to be great for criminal justice reform. I think she’s progressive, but she knows how to get things done and she’s going to be a phenomenal president.”

LAURA MILLER, 31
Columbus, Ohio
Supports: Hillary Clinton
Issue: Education

“I teach at an independent school and I feel that I’ve had a lot of positive response to having no set curriculum that I have to teach. So I’d be curious to see what we’d be able to do with the public education system in terms of improving curriculum.”

MINA HOFFMAN, 21
Akron, Ohio
Supports: Hillary Clinton
Issue: Gender Inequality

“Gender inequality has always been this oppressive force and everyone’s afraid to talk about it, are very scared of it. [Hillary] just being in it, that is starting the conversation and that is the most important thing.”

CHRISTIAN MOORE, 25
Vineland, N.J.
Supports: Hillary Clinton
Issue: Brutality and Racial Bias Among Police

 “As we’ve seen over the past couple years, there are definitely some faults in our legal system. Police are here to support us…We shouldn’t fear them because they swore to protect us. I feel like if the president addresses this, people who look like me can feel safer in their community.”

JASON TKATSCHENKO, 17
Johnstown, Pa.
Supports: Hillary Clinton
Issue: Economic and Geopolitical Stability

 “The way I see it, I enter the workforce and I enter the economy in a year, so I definitely need somebody like Hillary that is going to keep my taxes from going insane. And somebody that isn’t going to plunge my country into war.”

DEIRDRE COSGROVE, 27
South Philadelphia
Supports: Hillary Clinton
Issue: Mental Health Reform

“I’m a mental health professional so I work with people in a lot of need so I think that’s really important to get more funding.”

DREW MILLER, 32
Columbus, Ohio
Supports: Hillary Clinton
Issue: Xenophobia

“The hyper nationalism and violent nationalism that’s coming out of the Trump campaign is really dangerous not only short-term in this election, but also the next four and 40 years. It’s agains the core of America’s values. Domestic terrorism is a huge thing too and creating an angry mob out of a bunch of down on your luck people is as dangerous as runaway states in far away places.”

MARY VILLAGEOIS, 19
Montgomery, Alabama
Supports: Hillary Clinton
Issue: Student Loan Debt

“College is getting way too expensive and not enough people are going to college because of that.”

CHASE WOODARD, 18
Montgomery, Alabama
Supports: Undecided
Issue: Unemployment

“We just need the economy to start growing. I think [we need] job stimulation. That would be awesome.”

ERIC JOHNSON, 25
Columbus, Ohio
Supports: Hillary Clinton
Issue: Climate Change

“An unstable climate will create more poverty…A lot of people that live on the coasts, and especially people that live on islands, these islands are going to start disappearing. Places where humans can currently inhabit now, we will not be able to, and the continent will shrink smaller and smaller creating a lot more competition. And it’s a pretty Earth and we want to preserve that for the most amount of people possible.”

"Go Herb! Go Herb!"

Herb Douglas is used to people cheering his name, so when he danced on stage at his 90th birthday party, the former Olympian wasn’t uncomfortable having all eyes on him.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania native Herbert P. Douglas Jr. made his debut at the 1948 London Olympics. The long-jumper brought home a bronze medal. Just a day before, Douglas injured his ankle.

"I was going to stand on that podium if it took my life," Douglas said.

That wasn’t the end for Douglas, though. He didn’t stop training, he didn’t stop attending The Olympics. Now 94, Douglas, living in the Philadelphia region as the oldest African-American medalist, still swims to keep himself fit.

"I would swim every day if I could, but I can’t anymore," Douglas said, still smiling.

Douglas co-produced "The Renaissance Period of the African American in Sports," a film showcasing African American athletes and their journeys to their medals.

"People just feel good about being around Herb," a friend said. "I think he gives a good example."

Two former Temple University campus police officers are facing charges in connection with the murder of one of their girlfriends on Friday in Philadelphia's Germantown neighborhood.

Philadelphia Police on Monday said that 47-year-old Aaron Wright, a former Temple campus police officer who left the force some time ago, is charged with murder, aggravated assault, unlawful restraint, criminal conspiracy, abuse of a corpse and related offenses in the death of 24-year-old Joyce Quaweay at the home she shared with Wright.

Police said 39th District officers arrested Wright at the home on Greene Street near Apsley Friday morning after they responded to the scene where medics were trying to revive Quaweay before pronouncing her dead there at 11:28 a.m. Police said Wright surrendered to them at the house, telling officers, "I'm the one you want," and admitted to beating Quaweay, who was his girlfriend, until she collapsed.

Police said that further investigation revealed that Marquis Robinson, 41, who also lived in the house and worked as a Temple campus police officer as well, was involved in Quaweay's murder and fled from the house before officers arrived. Robinson was later arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit murder, aggravated assault, abuse of a corpse and related offenses, police said.

Robinson was dismissed from Temple's police force when charges were filed against him.

The motive in the woman's killing remained unclear on Monday.

A 5-year-old boy killed Sunday after he was struck by lightning on a beach in North Carolina, was from Delaware County, Pa.

Stephen Little was vacationing with his family. He was hit by lightning as they tried to get out of an afternoon storm and into their SUV on Carova Beach along the Outer Banks, according to the Currituck County Sheriff's office.

Family members got the little boy into their car and rushed down the beach to meet up with emergency crews.

Little, who suffered traumatic burns went into cardiac arrest. He later died at a hospital in Virginia Beach.

NBC10’s exclusive StormRanger10 mobile radar truck is a one-of-a-kind vehicle that has a live, high-powered Doppler Radar that enables StormRanger10 to get out ahead of a storm. StormRanger10 can track storms wherever they are with a higher degree of accuracy and with more detail than ever before.

[[388159482, BL]]

From increased visibility in the heart of a storm to the ability to alert people in real time that a tornado has touched down because it can detect actual debris on the ground, StormRanger10 is the latest addition to NBC10’s expanding weather arsenal designed to keep you and your family safe when severe weather strikes.

"This radar technology and mobile configuration is a first for any TV station or network of stations in the U.S," said Richard Stedronsky, a meteorologist and director of strategic business development and partnerships at Enterprise Electronics Corporation. "NBC-Telemundo is the first to deploy this fleet of mobile doppler radars in the nation."

"We are boosting our weather forecasting capabilities by building, from scratch, the first-of-its-kind fleet of mobile weather radars in the country because we know how important weather is to our viewers," said Valari Staab, President, NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations. "All of our stations will have access to this groundbreaking weather technology so they can deliver even more lifesaving weather information to their communities."

So what makes StormRanger10 so unique in delivering you the most accurate forecast?

When severe weather approaches, NBC10 now has the ability to dispatch StormRanger10 to wherever the storm is going to strike. Using X-band, dual-polarization Doppler radar, StormRanger10 can provide our meteorologists with more detailed observations than any normal fixed radar can provide, giving them — and you — a hyperlocal look at the storm.

[[388163932, BL]]

"When you start to get over 100 miles away from the radar, the radar beam from a fixed radar is too high in the atmosphere to see lower weather phenomena,” said Stedronsky, whose company provides the new radar system in StormRanger10. "But that’s where severe weather takes place -- in the lowest parts of the atmosphere. With StormRanger, you can take your viewers to the weather and gather information that a traditional fixed radar could be missing.”

[[386039591, C,600,338]]

StormRanger10's radar, which has a maximum range of about 100 miles, will update about once every 60 seconds. These updates mean you'll be up-to-the-minute when tracking how and when the weather will impact you in your crucial locations such as your home and where you currently are. Our app users will receive push alerts when StormRanger10 is activated, allowing them to get a closer -- and more accurate -- look at the weather in their neighborhoods.

By driving StormRanger10 close to actual storms, NBC10 will be able to give a detailed look that TV stations never have been able to do before. Fixed radars may miss certain weather events due to terrain or blockages due to buildings in a downtown area. But StormRanger10 can fill in those gaps in coverage, and in turn provide a more complete picture of what is happening now and what those immediately in the crosshairs of a severe storm can expect.

[[388167362, LG]]

[[387822631, C]]

Mobility is StormRanger10’s big advantage over fixed radar during severe thunderstorms. By positioning StormRanger10 wherever severe storms are about to strike, meteorologists will get a better idea of how the storms are forming, how severe they are and where and how fast they’re moving.

"This advanced look that you’ll get from a StormRanger means you’re giving more accurate and timely information to a viewer,” Stedronsky said.

[[386309841, C]]

In addition to radar, StormRanger10 has two cameras to give you an up-close look at conditions - one on the dashboard, and one pointed at a reporter riding in the vehicle.

“The information you're going to get on a local level is going to be unprecedented,” said Tom Jennings, president of Accelerated Media Technologies, which did the customization required to integrate the radar system into StormRanger10. “You’re going to get such high-resolution weather telemetry out of these trucks that you’ll know exactly what the weather’s doing in your neighborhood, not just theoretically what it’s doing across your state or county."

Stedronsky says the key to it all is having full control of a mobile radar unit that can be sent to any storm, at any time.

“That’s going to be huge for protecting people and assets and saving lives,” Stedronsky said.

NBC10 is committed to bringing you the most accurate weather information possible, and StormRanger10 is just the latest investment we’re making into weather-related technologies to do just that. StormRanger10 is here to serve your community, and ensure that (Weather Team branding) is your most-trusted source when severe storms strike.
