Oklahoma Residents Linked to Racists Messages Sent to Penn Students: Three Oklahoma residents have been linked to racist messages that were sent to African American students at the University of Pennsylvania Friday. Black students at Penn suddenly received racist texts Friday from an account on an app called GroupMe, with the messages and images causing fear among the student body. The university said its police and cybersecurity departments were investigating and had determined the origin of the GroupMe account to be based in Oklahoma. "The account contains violent, racist and thoroughly repugnant images and messages," university spokesman Ron Ozio said in an email. "The University is taking every step possible to address both the source of the racist material and the impact it has had on Black students on campus.” Early Saturday morning, University of Oklahoma president David Boren posted a message on Twitter stating a student at his school was involved in the texts and was suspended as a result. He also said however the messages did not originate at the University of Oklahoma but somewhere else. More than 100 students were placed into a group "N----- Lynching" and sent a series of racial epithets and photos of African-Americans hanging from trees by nooses from users like "Daddy Trump." An event invitation called "Daily Lynching" also went out to the students added to the group message.

WHAT YOU MISSED YESTERDAY

Hundreds March in Center City on 5th Day of Anti-Trump Protests:
For the fifth straight day, hundreds of people are marching through Center City to protest Donald Trump’s presidential win. The protesters gathered at Thomas Paine Plaza on 1401 JFK Boulevard around 3 p.m. Sunday and began marching towards Independence Hall. The group then returned to Thomas Payne Plaza to hear from various speakers. “This protest is not focused a single person or issue, its represents all those that feel marginalized or threatened by a Trump presidency,” organizers wrote. “It stands in solidarity with many groups: people of color, women, trans people, immigrants and those who feel as though their voices are not being heard. It is our duty as Americans to exercise our constitutional right to peaceably assemble and and bring light to our grievances.”

After a mob-style attack in Center City Philadelphia injured an off-duty officer, his wife and four others, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross took aim at the group of teens suspected in the case.

"It's just stupid, there's no other way to describe it," said Ross Monday morning.

A large crowd of teens were at a club along the 1600 block of Walnut Street -- just a couple blocks from Rittenhouse Square -- around 6:10 p.m. Saturday. A smaller group of teens in the crowd then began to attack random people in the area.

"They said it was unprovoked," a witness, who did not want to be identified, told NBC10. "They didn't say anything and they just found themselves getting beat up. It was scary."

A 55-year-old Philadelphia police detective, who was off-duty at the time and with his 53-year-old wife, spotted the teens attacking a 21-year-old man, police said. As the detective walked toward them, the teens fled the area. The detective began walking back to where his wife was when he spotted more teens attack two young men in their 20s, according to investigators.

The detective announced he was a police officer and tried to arrest one of the teens who was kicking the two men. As the detective grabbed the teen he was punched from behind by several other attackers, police said. The detective's wife splashed water on the teens in order to stop them. One of the attackers then punched the woman in the face, police said. All of the teen attackers then fled the area.

"He got seriously hurt doing so but he did his job, we're very proud of him," said Ross.

The detective suffered an orbital fracture to his right eye. The man and his wife, who also suffered minor injuries, were both taken to Jefferson Hospital for treatment. Three other people suffered minor injuries during the attack.

"We looked and we saw people who had obviously been beaten up," the witness told NBC10. "They were bleeding from their heads. We saw at least three people that were like that."

Immediately following the attack on 1600 Walnut Street a 28-year-old man was attacked by several teens on 100 S. 16th Street. Responding police officers then arrested two 16-year-old boys.

"You got people getting assaulted and that should not happen, it's ridiculous behavior," said Ross.

More arrests could come as investigators poured over surveillance video, said Ross who noted that the teens are old enough to know right from wrong.

"Some people want to indict the parents but I talk about personal responsibility, these are kids old enough to know better and not do something like that," said Ross.

"They should be absolutely held accountable for what they did and there's no excuse for it," said Ross.

Ross said he hopes the incident was an "anomaly" but that police would "respond accordingly" with Center City patrols.

Zappos and Best Friends Animal Society have partnered with animal shelters nationwide to help pets find a Forever Home just in time for the "Pawlidayz."

Some Philadelphia-area animal shelters made the cut after an extensive qualification process. From Black Friday through Cyber Monday the adoption fee will be covered for pets adopted from the Burlington County Animal Shelter and ACCT Philly.

For every pet adopted during this four-day period, Zappos.com will donate an additional $150 to Best Friends Animal Society to help save the life of another animal in their care.

The Burlington County Animal Shelter, on Academy Drive in Westhampton, was at capacity for cats. Mount Laurel Animal Hospital hosted an emergency adoption day to help clear up shelter space.

ACCT Philly, on Hunting Park Avenue in Philadelphia, is open daily for adoptions. According to their site, the mission of ACCT Philly is "to provide shelter, care and life saving efforts for homeless, abandoned, and abused animals and provide health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Philadelphia, providing a benefit to all of the citizens of the city regardless of race to economic status."

The mission of Best Friends Animal Society, according to their website, is to ensure all pets have a home. "Every day, more than 9,000 dogs and cats are killed in America's shelters," according to the organization.

Each summer, NBC10 and Telemundo62 team up with dozens of shelters to Clear the Shelters, as part of a nationwide pet adoption drive.

Last Thanksgiving, the Eagles held a Bird Day contest through Twitter calling for fans to show their pride with photos and Morgan Coacher knew she had to enter.

With Turkey Day just around the corner, Coacher recalled her big win in last year's Bird Day competition.

Her inspiration came from a Sunday prior to the autumn holiday when a bunch of friends and family were over her parents' house for a game.

There were about 30 adults and they formed a human pyramid in their Eagles gear, Coacher, a 26-year-old Ardmore resident and lifelong fan, said.

It all really started in 2014 when Coacher's dad had a giant blow-up Eagles player that he would display on the lawn every weekend. But her mom was not a fan of the huge display, so her dad retired it at the end of that season.

The blow-up display was replaced with an Eagles gnome and flag, but Coacher said "it wasn't anything special."

"I felt we had to have something to replace the obnoxious blow-up Eagles player," Coacher shared and that's when she saw the #BirdDay Sweepstakes on the Eagles' twitter page.

Coacher didn't think twice about submitting the human pyramid photo.

She is a South Philly resident without a lawn. So when she found out she won, she offered up her parents lawn for the prize.

The prize was to have the Eagles' midfield logo painted on your lawn. To her mom's dismay, the Eagles' grounds crew came out two days before Thanksgiving with their midfield stencil and painted the lawn.

The entire neighborhood loved it and many neighbors stopped by to take pictures of the logo that lasted through January. Even her mom came around, liking the finished product.

Coacher wouldn't change her team for anything, "No matter how many games they lose, they always play exciting games. There's always the feeling of maybe next year or maybe the next game and there's so much excitement when they win."

An officer and another man were hurt after a dirt bike crashed into a police vehicle in Philadelphia Monday night.

Police say officers were in a patrol vehicle on Howell Street and Torresdale Avenue at 4:48 p.m. As the officers turned onto Howell Street they were struck by a dirt bike that was traveling at a high speed northbound on Torresdale, according to police.

One of the officers was injured in the crash. He was taken to Jeanes Hospital where he is expected to be treated and released. The operator of the dirt bike was taken to Frankford-Torresdale Hospital where he is in critical condition.

A witness told NBC10 the dirt bike rider is 18-years-old. The victim also claimed the police vehicle struck the dirt bike, throwing the victim off. The witness says the man was “foaming from the mouth” as police tried to pull him from underneath the vehicle.

Another witness told NBC10 the police vehicle was chasing after the dirt bike rider prior to the crash. He sent NBC10 a video of police vehicles and dirt bikes in the street but it’s unclear from the clip whether officers are in pursuit. Police also have not confirmed the statements from either witness.

Police are searching for a serial robber who was caught on surveillance video shooting a Good Samaritan in the leg and struggling with a local store owner.

The 45-year-old Good Samaritan, who did not want to be identified, told NBC10 the staff at A&A Grocery on N. Gratz Street have always treated him like family. That’s why he decided to take action when he saw a man threaten the store owner’s college-aged daughter with a gun back on Nov. 4.

“I walked over to him and tapped him and said, ‘My man. My man. Come on.’ He turned around and shot me up,” the Good Samaritan said.

The Good Samaritan was struck once in the right leg and the suspect fled with an unknown amount of cash. The victim was taken to Temple University where he was treated for his injuries.

“God is good and I’m glad to be here,” he said.

The next day the same suspect robbed German Grocery only a few blocks away on N. 16th Street around 3:40 p.m. Less than four hours later he targeted Fontain Deli Market on 16th and Fontain Street where he ran into the Jovanni Cruz, the store's owner.

Cruz was captured on surveillance video fighting the robber over his gun. Cruz managed to pry the weapon out of the suspect’s hands and chase him out of the store.

“As soon as I turned my reaction was to jump on him,” said Cruz. “God protected me and I was able to take his gun.”

The suspect is described as a thin man with a brown complexion standing between 5-foot-9 and 5-foot-10 with a beard or mustache. During the robbery on Nov. 4 he was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt underneath a green jacket with black cuffs, a waist band, jeans, black sneakers and a skully.

If you have any information on his identity or whereabouts, please call Philadelphia Police.
