6:07 am
pennsylvania law, and that's because sexual orientation is not included in a state's hate crime statue, local lawmakers, however, are working to change that. they plan to start lobbying as soon as today. but again, so far no arrests, no charges have been filed, even though people have been coming in to make statements, we are live outside central detective. we'll be here all morning, to see if anyone else involved in that horrible beating turns themselves in this morning. chris, kerry? >> if ever there was cents an act, exemplifying a hate crime, you think it would be this. dawn, more on that to come. 6:07. new jersey liquor store closed, following reports of discrimination against customers, could be back up and running pretty soon. that's if a transfer of the liquor license goes through. king's liquor store, swedesboro, closed last month by the borough council, after customers filed discrimination complaints. owner then decide to go sell the business after the controversy, the store's liquor license is scheduled for approval today, no word on when the store could reopen

6:12 am
in allentown, and here in philadelphia we have 56 degrees, but just to the north of us, in warminster, it is only 46 degrees. so, just depends on where the clouds have settled in, and where it is clear, also, in the city, always little bit warmer. so, 76 today, 70 tomorrow, and then we're milder on saturday, sunday, as high pressure moves off shore. in fact, for the last full day of summer, we get up to 82 degrees, by monday, we have little bit of rain scheduled in the morning, and then it is a little bit cooler as we start the first week of fall. it really will feel like t that's a look at your weather authority forecast. it is cents time for traffic. once again, our big problem this morning, in south jersey around buena, weymouth road, an accident there, and the road is closed as is a result, so your alternate is friendship road. kerrey? >> the united kingdom, could get make over, why scotland's independence may force the
