And now, Preston and Steve's news update with Kathy Romano.

Today is Wednesday, September 21st. Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning in the news this morning. Philadelphia police are investigating after a driver was caught in the crossfire of a gun battle Tuesday night. It happened around 7.10 p.m. on the 3100 block of

North 22nd Street in North Philadelphia. The 29-year-old female victim was on her way home from a voter

registration drive when she traveled into the middle of a shootout between multiple people.

The woman who suffered at least one gunshot wound was taken to Temple University Hospital

where she was placed in stable condition.

No arrests have been made.

Anyone with information in this case is asked to contact police at 215-686 tips.

Three airline workers based in Philadelphia International Airport were indicted for allegedly

defrauding their employer

of more than $283,000 in a scheme to skim money from upgraded flights. U.S. Attorney Jacqueline Romero

announced Tuesday. 27-year-old Taylor Thompson and 29-year-old Tiana Fairfax, both of Philadelphia

and 29-year-old Theodore Robinson of Upper Darby were arrested and charged by indictment with seven counts of wire fraud.

Thompson was a supervisor for an airline which prosecutors did not name except to say that it's a national carrier headquartered in Florida and had authority to upgrade flights which would cost customers more except in certain circumstances.

In 2017 and 2018, Thompson allegedly schemed with Fairfax and Robinson, who worked as a

customer service agent to pocket money intended for upgraded fees that were supposed to go to

the airline.

So what I want to know is how often do they have the power to pump you up at absolutely no charge if they don't want to charge you?

Because that's the question.

That's a nice little perk.
