5:04 am
on the top floor of this townhome. the investigation will continue later this morning, right now, they don't know where it started but they do know the volume of fire made it really tough to battle. check out this video. shot by one of our own fox 29 producers. flames were shooting out of the back of the row of townhomes. fire crews worked hard to attack the blaze from all angles, most of that damage happening to two of the homes. but the entire row was evacuated for safety reasons. the 11:20 p.m. call came in from two people who were inside the three-story townhouse when that fire started. they were able to get out safely but not without extensive damage to their property. in the end, nine people were displaced, red cross has stepped in to help those families, one female firefighter suffered minor injuries. she was taken to the hospital. but is expected to be okay. back out here live, in the front yard, peco crews were on scene digging up a gas line there. the fire marshall couldn't tell us if this is at all related to the fire.
5:05 am
but, of course, as we said, the investigation will continue this morning, and that's when they hope to find out more exactly about what happened here and how this all got started. thomas, karen? >> details still coming in, lauren, thank you. time now 5:06. covering a developing story out of levittown in bucks county. there was a customer who opened fire o2 robbery suspect, happened at a pizza shop. out to steve keeley with the latest on this one, steve? >> well, we always hear police tell everybody, let us handle crime, just do what the people tell to you do. but that didn't happen in this case. and so, we're here at the middletown township police department, because this is where a customer beaten by two armed holdup guys with guns before he pulled his own gun in self-defense and fired is talking to detectives. now, there was a third pizza shop worker inside as you look at our video. this is a strip mall, with porfilio police-involved shooting and a pasta shop in the middle t closes at 10:00. happened just before closing
5:06 am
time. two armed robbers come in. third worker ran out the back to nearby bar to call police. but before officers could get there, someone already took care of these robbers, and it was this customer. women, see if he want to talk to us and tell us what happened after he talks to detective. but this guy was ready for whatever happened. because he wasn't just armed with a gun himself, but cool headed and trained enough into when and how to pull it out and fire and not miss. >> he told the employees and the customer to get on the ground, and he began pistol whipping one of the customers, at which point that customer produced a handgun, and shot both of the robbers. at this time one of the robbers is dead, pronounced dead at the scene. the other was taken to st. mary medical center, and he was shot in the shoulder and the neck. he's in serious condition. and it is my understanding that he may have been flown down to jefferson hospital for further treatment. >> we're very thankful that
5:07 am
there were no other injuries. but like i said, it is tragic. i mean, you doesn't with a to see anything like this happening. you don't want to see anyone die. but at the same time, you know, it was a robbery. and it appears that the customer was defending himself. he's being interviewed by detective right now. but i don't think he has any serious injuries. >> all right, women, he's being interviewed by detective, and the question they had, and they didn't have an answer when we talked to the chief, was whether or not this customer who shot in self-defense was legally permit today car a concealed weapon. but, karen, thomas, even if he didn't, some district attorney charges him, many are going to say lot of luck, finding a jury up near bucks county to convict. >> lots. steve, thank you so much. we do have sad story from overnight, 5:07. we know 80 year old woman was killed in a deadly fire. it happened in brewerytown. she was trapped in the home. this was on the 1400 block of north hollywood street. the fire department got there within just three minutes, and when they got inside that's when they found that woman on
5:08 am
the living room floor. neighbor tells us she tried to rescue this woman when she saw the house was on fire. >> i saw her trying to knock heroin dough out, see if she was this there, young boys down the street came and bus the window open, it was too much smoke to get in. >> like the mother of the neighborhood. she is a good lady. >> the cause of the fire right now is still all under investigation. happening today, president obama will be in germany, it is the next stop of his final foreign trip. much of the president's trip aims to reassure world leaders the man, president obama, said, was not fit, karen? >> to be a suck or trying to maintain our relationship, already established around the world. while at news conference with the prime minister every greece our president ac knowledge dollars he was pretty surprised by donald trump's victory but continued to say he would dot best he can to ensure that the transition is smooth, while the president was welcomed by the top officials in greece, a lot of protesters out there on the streets.
5:09 am
>> what's becoming a pretty familiar scene in modern greece the street of athens were filled with all of the people out there, marching against our president's visit, the first american president to go to greece in 17 years. many people are concerned about the us role in europe under a trump presidency. and, speaking of all of that, the president-elect donald trump has just about 60 days to get his administration in place for inauguration day, and it appears there may be some problems with some of his selections on his cabinet. former mayor of new new york sit rudy giuliani said he would consider the send do you have of state. ryan paul said he wouldn't vote for him, nor would john bolton. another running in the position, one supporter of trump, this is interesting, ben carson says he does not want a role in the cab knelt. but guess who does? talk show host laura ingram would seriously consider the job of press secretary. >> he values loyalty, right, a lot of those names we just look at, people who are with
5:10 am
him if not from the very beginning, pretty early on in the process. and those people are being rewarded. >> now, trump's son-in-law, jared kushner, also deeply involved with the whole transition, close individuals or in the campaign, now there are some reports trump would like to have him have top level security clearance on another note, among the visitors to the trump tower yesterday, texas senator, ted cruz, isn't that interesting, maybe people talking it could be a pick for the supreme court. >> talk about another person that was involved with this whole transition, chris christie says he'll continue to stay the governor of new jersey but he would consider something in the trump white house. >> this as christie continues to deal with more backlash from the bridgegate scandal. judge has set court date for the governor's appeal of the citizens complaint in a claims christie failed to stop a major traffic jam at the george washington bridge, in 2013. fire fight nerve tee neck alleges that the new jersey governor failed to order subordinant to reopen lanes. prosecutors say the lane closures was a political
