report. tracy? thank you. new from overnight, thieves set their sights on stealing air bags from one car in the philadelphia neighborhood coming just weeks after several were stolen from cars not too far away. matt delucia is live to tell us more. >> reporter: this car owner put up a plastic bag after his window was smashed and the air bag was stolen. you can see what we're talking about, this is what owners are waking up to this morning. we saw four cars with broken windows, three of them with no air bags left in this area. police came out here around 2:00 this morning and investigators are trying to find a connection between these break-ins and another rash of air bag thefts not far from where we are right now in rhawnhurst. all of them are hondas. because of the black market the air bags are likely going to be found in other cars. i found out ways to be cautious through the national insurance crime bureau.
6:32 am
first, always use a reputable auto body shop. and inspect the air bag prior to installation to be packaged in a sealed manufactured container. when looking for the srs light that normally pops up if you don't see the light, that indicates a problem with the air bag system and it may not activate in the a crash. the problem now for the folks is that repairs are likely going to cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars. so not a very good morning here in rhawnhurst. matt delucia, "nbc 10 news." and the philadelphia man is behind bars this morning after police say he shot his ex-gift's son. jamille carter turned himself into police last night after going into his ex-giftrlfriend's home yesterday morning and started hitting her. her son came down and that's when carter shot the boy in the leg. >> this is a big shock. like it's never happened here.

6:34 am
to philadelphia cops. that's a non-lethal form of weaponry. since the commissioner called for the outside eyes to take a look the numbers of officer-involved shootings have dropped to 43. the years before that had the counts ranging from the mid-40s to highs in the lower 60s. the initial report was supposed to be released a few weeks ago but then the murder of officer robert wilson iii happened and it was delayed until today. the report comes out at 11:30 at police headquarters in center city. jesse gary "nbc 10 news." and new jersey senator robert menendez could face corruption charges as soon as this week. sources close to the investigation say details of the case are still being worked out. the investigation centers on the ties to the florida eye doctor. authorities want to know if menendez accepted gifts from the doctor in exchange for influencing the senate to help the doctor with business matters. and the first major candidate in the 2016 presidential race announced his run for the white house

6:36 am
of bright sunshine but there's a warm up on the way. later this week the temperatures will be much milder as we head into the latter part of the week. heading out the door right now, this is why you have to bundle up. grab the winter coat and the scarf because the wind will be blowing during the day today. 16 degrees in mount pocano. 20s for northeast atlantic city. starting to see the skies brightening in the pocanos mountains. this is a view from shaunee with lots of scattered clouds in the mountains after a cold start this morning. we are watching the radar. nothing to show you here but there are some showers. snow showers are moving through chicago, which will give us clouds tomorrow. but i think we'll be snow-free tomorrow. it's certainly cold enough for snow. look at the temperatures climbing as the day goes on. the middle 30s at lunchtime. at 4:00 that's as warm as it will get. 41 in philadelphia. millville 4rks 2. pottstown, 41 degrees. wilmington, 43 degrees.
