Police have now identified the victims of the fatal car crash that took place on Roosevelt Boulevard in Northeast Philadelphia Sunday night. 34-year-old Ramon Ramierz-Camacho and 38-year-old Lorraine Rivera were killed after their Mercedes Benz crashed into the back of a school bus in the north bound lanes of Roosevelt Boulevard right near Woodward Street. The car ended up going under the bus, and then bursting into flames. Police have stated that the Camacho was the driver in the car and that he had been going well of the 45 mph speed limit. The bus driver had just dropped off around 2 dozens kids before the crash, and was not injured in the incident.

12 people were killed and at least 50 were injured on Monday evening in Berlin, Germany, after a truck had barreled into a Christmas Market in a public square. Berlin Police were able to arrive on the scene and arrested a man who is believed to be the driver of the truck. Police also stated that 1 of the 12 dead in the incident was a passenger in the van. Officials are investigating to see if this was an act of terrorism, just like the Bastille day attack in France this past July. Officials say that the market is very busy during the week before Christmas, and that it is very hard to access and crash into by accident.

A couple was robbed inside of their home by 4 suspects in the early morning hours of Monday morning. The incident happened on the 100 block of West Godfrey Street at around 3:30 am in the Olney section of Philadelphia. Police say that the couple had just gotten home from a restaurant they own in West Philadelphia when three armed men forced the victims inside of their house. Once inside of the house, the suspects forced the victims to the ground and were able to get away with a black backpack that had around $3000 dollars in it as well as stealing the victim's handgun. The suspects then ran across Godfrey Street then up Howard Street where a silver or white getaway car was waiting for them. Luckily no one was injured and no shots were fired in the incident. Philadelphia Police have released surveillance video of the incident. Watch it below.
