Here are the top three stories today in Philadelphia:

1. Police are searching for two suspects wanted in a student home invasion just blocks from Temple University's campus. The crime happened at about 6:20 a.m. on the 1900 block of North 18th Street in North Philadelphia. Four people, including two male Temple students, were inside the home at the time. They said they woke up to guns in their faces and were told to hand over their belongings. (6abc Philadelphia)
