FOX 29 Investigates: Teens Buying Deadly Weapons

Posted: Updated:
PHILADELPHIA -

We know all too well the tragedies involving young people and firearms, especially handguns and assault rifles.

But there are other deadly weapons available to teens that are a lot easier to buy.

We're talking about kids and knives.

FOX 29's Jeff Cole reports that when a weapon is used in a Philadelphia public school, it's most likely a cutting instrument.

But how easy is it for teens to get their hands on these potentially lethal blades?

FOX 29 Investigates went undercover to find out. You may be stunned by what we found.

You can watch our report in the video above.

    A blustery and chilly start to Memorial Day weekend! It stays windy tonight but clouds slowly clear out as low pressure towards our north departs.

    We will see much more sunshine Sunday with a little less wind and warmer high temperatures around 70 degrees.

    Back to normal by Memorial Day with high temps in the mid 70s -- it will be a beautiful holiday!
