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

Today is Tuesday. It is April 30th. Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning in the news this morning. Philadelphia police said a man is in critical condition after he was shot in the face while driving in the Tuyoga Nishtown section of the city late Monday. Police said it was around 11 p.m. when the 28-year-old victim was driving a Chevy Malibu down the 1400 block of St. Luke Street near Broad Street. According to investigators, two shots were fired with one of them shattering the driver's side window and striking the victim in the cheek.

The bullet lodged in his throat area.

Witnesses said that the man opened the door and fell to the ground where other drivers and a passerby provided aid.

Among the first on the scene was the victim's wife.

Police said that the man was following his wife in a separate car after leaving another location.

Police said they are interviewing witnesses who saw the aftermath of the shooting, but they haven't found anyone who saw the actual shooter. Investigators said that they are hoping nearby surveillance cameras can provide some much-needed clues. Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact police. It's scary. Yeah, 6ABC has been promoting an investigative report that they did on elevators in the region.

You know, all of us have gotten it on an elevator somewhere. I've been like, is this? Is this okay? Yeah, just recently I had that happen. So what they found was an alarming number of building owners in the area are failing to get timely inspections on elevators as required by law. Records from the state of Pennsylvania

show more than 1,600 elevators in the five-county

region have expired certificates of operation.

In August of 2016, an elevator shot up 13 floors from the basement and crashed into

a concrete roof of the criminal justice center in center city.

The sheriff deputy, Paul Owens, who was on the elevator, woke up five weeks later with

collapsed lungs, broken ribs, and a severed spinal cord.

He is now paralyzed from the chest down.

Oh, geez.

Civil attorney Mike Tenari represented and negotiated a $20 million settlement in Owen's case.

He blames a lack of real oversight by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, which oversees the elevators in the state.

Yeah, sometimes when you get into an elevator, you'll see, it says, oh, if you want to see the certificate of operation, you've got to go to the security office or whatever. Like, why don't you just? Well, some of them do have it in there. No, no, no. I thought it was the law that you had to post the certificate in the car, in the elevator car. They. They don't have, they don't have it in these. Yeah. Not in the one's not in our building. I don't know. I'm too busy always reading the Dow Jones. Yeah, we have a prompter in our. I like that. I get some tips from there. Yeah, too. You don't have to talk to people. It's great. Best. But why don't they?

I mean, you know, why isn't it?
