>> a vicious attack on hundreds of millions of americans and on this saturday night the enemy, is weather. i'm harris faulkener, this is the fox report, some of you caught up in a heat wave that is simply punishing and others dealing with a deadly storm system packing hurricane-force winds. few are spared in the. we'll begin with a growing number of states suffering with no electricity after storms chewed up parts of virginia and six other states and is the district of columbia. >> this video, a line of

powerful thunderstorms, winds more than 80 miles per hour. heavy rain, ripping through several states, causing a path of destruction, at least 12 people dead. at this point, we know at least one person is missing. a survivor describes the chaotic scene in her town, in west virginia. >> there was wind and debris swirling everywhere and flying around and hitting every car in sight. >> next thing you know a dust cloud came and everything ripped off this buildings and smashed cars and road was covered and pretty much tore everything up. >> and that is playing out in many locations and you can see, the video, a large white object draped over a power line, that is a rooftop ripped avenue a home in west virginia. >> i'm glad my kids were in bed. i -- weren't in bed, i'm glad they weren't in here.

>> a tree tore through the ohio home and landing on the empty beds, thankfully and the cleanup will be massive and on this weekend, ahead of the july 4th holiday, amtrak suspending service for a time from our nation's capitol to philadelphia and now we are lear have been able to get some limited service back on-line but significant delays are expected. some areas may not have electricity back until the fourth of july. all of this, as many of you know, was a back drop of unbearable heat bearing down on most of the country tonight, let's go live to virginia where half of those who died in the storm system were. doug mcelway is in springfield tonight and i understand power companies are reaching far and wide for help? >> reporter: they are reaching far and wide for help and they really need to. one company in particular, the local power company, pepco, potomac electric power company and they have come under an avalanche of criticism in years

past where slow response to restoration of power in the aftermath of several storms. to and the it has announced it will get help from power companies from 12 states and canada and some of the crews cannot get here until monday and most will not be available until monday and the governor o'mally of the state of maryland explained why a while ago. because of the crews are on hold because they expect more storms this evening and the task is complicated by the widespread nature of the damage, more than a million people to tell stories, just like this guy in suburban virginia. >> about 11:00 or so last night, i was back here in the backyard with the dogs, taking them inside, and, i got them inside, because you could hear the wind all of a sudden pick up, and, all of a sudden all of the electricity went out, and, then, just holy heck happened. as far as the crash and noise. >> reporter: the bottom line

today, literally hundreds, if not thousands of traffic lights are out, right now, and there are hospitals without power and two we know of in west virginia at this point and 911 calls are going unanswered, and people have no cell phone service, no hard line telephone service, no internet or e-mail service and no television and no radio, unless they have battery operated radios. and, also, the washington suburban sanitary commission which provides water to 100,000 -- hundreds of thousands of people in this area announced it is imposing mandatory outdoor water restrictions on people because they're trying to hold off a boil-water alert and they, too, have no power. >> it will be tough to boil water if you don't have any power and i'm noticing a couple of things and one is the traffic moving behind you and that is a fairly new development and i'm watching reports and the damage behind you is great, too, at least people are starting to get around and to give people an idea of what happened, though, you had a moving experience with one family. tell us about that.

>> reporter: yes, you can see that big tree, that yanked down the power line, you see that all over and that tree landed on top of a man's car, 11:00 last night an crushed him and he died, took hours for rescue workers to get the body out of the car because of the hot wires and the extent of the damage of the vehicle itself but during one of the live shots we saw a bunch of people approach that and they are all asian and were members of this man's family, and buddhists and came here with the buddhist monk and, one of the women collapsed in a terrible, terrible state of grief and at least 11 other families across the mid-atlantic seaboard who are suffering the same kind of grief in the aftermath and more storms are on the way, expecting a line to come through 6:30 -- 7: 30, various parts of northern

virginia. >> and a lot of pairs, from twitter, for people in this part of the country. doug mcelway, thank you. of course the heat in places like ohio and northern midwest tough to take but out west it is helping wildfires lay waste to portions of colorado. the waldo canyon fire near colorado springs, the latest and largest in the state's history. two people have died. more than 350 homes gone. information coming in this hour and reinforcements are brought and with that, a sliver of hope. as a few evacuees are getting word they may soon be able to go home. >> i have been coming up here, 3, 4 of these sessions and it might be the time we get -- the evacuation and today -- tonight was the time. >> we get to go home and there are many, many who can't and, they won't for a long, long

time. >> you can hear the emotion on his voice, and, this we have been covering for weeks, and the high park fire already destroyed more than 250 homes, near fort collins and we are told it is fully contained and we didn't know if we'd hear those words and the last evacuation orders now being lifted. alicia acuna is streaming live from colorado springs. lightning sparked this beast. on june 9th. now, 21 days later, finally hope. >> yes. at the waldo canyon fire, weather was a huge asset to firefighters and cooler temperatures and clouds and were able to bring it up to 45% con statement, an increase from 30% containment from an update we had, this morning which is why city and county officials were able to announce they will be able to allow more of the evacuees to begin going back to their homes tomorrow, however, they also announced there is a new and dangerous problem. >> if everything goes accord to

plan, we plan to let residents return to their homes in the green mountain falls area tomorrow, cristola as well as cascade. i say that with some slight hesitation, we have actually had an invasion of bears, in green mountain falls. so, we are working with dow to try to persuade them to vacate the area. >> reporter: they are also keeping in mind the fact this is a fire like none, many of them have ever seen, if you look at the video you can see how the wind moved the flames through here, so fast. they destroyed homes while leaving other neighbors untouched. now, during our latest update, they were talking about firefighters were talking about how it is easy for this to turn around. harris. >> hearing what he is talking about, an invasion of bears and we have seen quite a few, they had a lighter winter than normal this year coming out of the state of colorado. quickly, before i let you know, alicia, i understand there is a second problem, though, for some

of these fire victims, as they finally get to go home? >> reporter: yes. 22 homes we have learned have been broken into in the evacuated and burned-out areas and that is something that police have just hold us about and have made one arrest and even more disturbing, some of these folks, you know, got out of their houses, with whatever they could grab and put into their cars, and, they are staying in these hotels and the parking lots, they have hair cars now broken into, police say. so, some of the only things that these people have now, people are trying to steal them and the national guard is here helping police patrol the streets to try to keep the peace. >> alicia, thank you. we have now seen what is happening and how about news about when it is going to come to an end. watching the forecast is our meteorologist with accu-weather. justin, it is summer, and a heat wave but you say it is different. how? >> reporter: well, harris, you know, the heat wave is packed full of storms, we have seen temperatures setting records,

all the way from denver, colorado, earlier last week and now, into our nation's capital about the now we have the storms in the midst of it and not a good combination and lots of damage yesterday and we'll be seeing more complexes similar to this the next couple of days as well. >> before i get to my next question, i had alicia acuna on and we talked about how finally with one fire burning since june 9th they got a break and colorado, what is the forecast going to look lik immediately, so maybe they can get a second fire out? >> reporter: some good news and some bad news. the good news is we don't have the gusty winds which has been simply spraying the flames here, the past several days. and, we do have the heat, and, of course, we do have the low relative humidity, so, 2 of the 3 ingredients, are still present and temperatures, unfortunately, will stay in the 80s and 90s,

the next several days. >> justin, we appreciate your forecast for us. thank you, justin. >> reporter: thanks, harris. >> new fallout from the u.s. supreme court's landmark decision upholding president obama's health care reform law. rick scott saying his state will not comply with the law. and joins a list of ten other governors now, who are refusing to implement the affordable care ac and among them big names in the republican party including indiana governor mitch daniels. new jersey governor chris christie and louisiana governor bobby jindal and they argue they don't want to saddle their states with mandated changes to medicaid coverage for the poor and setting up statewide health insurance programs and in today's weekly g.o.p. address, the governor of wyoming, lashing out, about the tax for a middle class to pay for it all. >> the president and is a allies in congress will argue that the supreme court gave the health care law a seal of approval.

it is the same failed policy that will not lower the cost of health care in america. thursday, i was in the courtroom, as the supreme court ruled the president's health care law is what the president claimed it was not. a new tax. >> new york congressman eliott ingalls defending it, saying the mandate that forces people to buy insurance is not a tax. >> the bottom line is, that we currently have about 50 million americans who are uninsured and you want to know what a tax is? a tax is when they go to the emergency room, and you and i have to pay for it. that is a tax. what this affordable health care act will eliminate that base everyone is going to have insurance the so-called tax will only affect those people who don't buy insurance and can afford to buy insurance and don't buy it. so the average person that has insurance, this is not going to affect them, one iota. >> the issue jumped back to the forefront of the election battle, between the president and governor mitt romney, as you know, the governor now hoping to

use the supreme court ruling as a rallying cry, pledging to repeal the law as soon as he takes office. well, they are trained to keep us safe in the skies. but it is what happens several feet on the ground, i should say, with air marshals, what they were doing on the ground got them fired and the fallout, far from over. the latest security scandal. and our nation's capitol, declaring a state of emergency in the wake of deadly and powerful summer storms, washington, dc hardly alone, you a look now at illinois. >> the wind took out one of the front office steeples and it is nuts. >> trying to clear the field with the tarp and we play out the rest of the video. our cloud is not soft and fluffy.

colonel roy tysdale, 42 years old, a bronze star and purple heart recipient who served in iraq and afghanistan. a member of his own battalion, allegedly shot him and wounded another soldier and turned the gun on himself. we don't know the suspect's name but learned he's not expected to survive the gunshot wound, the alleged shooter was facing a possible court-martial and we're told after being accused of stealing a toolbox from a military facility. turning to trouble our our nation's police in the sky. the transportation security administration just fired 8 air marshals for some very inappropriate behavior. the group busted for drinking on a job and, another six facing suspicion because they did not report it. molly line is on set with me and the tsa is taking it seriously? >> reporter: absolutely, just another example of a federal agency involved in our nation's security having an issue like this. a problem where they are feeling a little embarrassed and taking action after things have

happened and the transportation security administration is what we're talking about, now and they say 14 employees of the federal air marshal service are being disciplined or terminated and losing their jobs over the incident and seen drinking is what we are talking about which occurred in february and at a restaurant during lunch time not far from the new york field office near the jfk airport and the marshals in question were not expected to fly that day but were participating in training on the clock and the drinking was reported via a web site where employees can pass on information regarding unethical behavior and the agency has a firm rule al hcohol cannot be consumed while employees are work and holds them to the highest ethical standards and has zero-tolerance for misconduct in the workplace and they've removed the individuals involved and affirms our strong commitment to the highest standards automotive conduct, and accountability and so they took action. >> harris: you were alluding to the secret service scandal that has gone on as well when you say

a couple were mentioned with security companies or employees. i'm curious, though, firing is pretty tough. >> reporter: it is, definitely and we spoke with david katz the former da, special agent and has a global security firm founded in new york, a security expert and he believes, also they came down hard on the marshals but, there is not all of the details about this have been disclosed. and, he believes these tough punishments might also be deriving from the recent secret service scandal in south america. take a listen: >> perhaps what happened in columbia has filtered through the federal law enforcement community, so, the way -- information i have is that this investigation preceded that event and it was in the works, and columbia happened and, a lot of pressure coming from the administration and elsewhere, to crack down this kind of behavior. >> reporter: now the air marshals turned in their credentials and weapons. >> harris: gosh, you think you wouldn't have to put, no

drinking on the job, in a manual. >> reporter: especially people who are armed. >> harris: molly line, thank you very much. his girlfriend is dead but he may have gone pretty far to convince friends she's still alive. now he's a suspect in her death. details on this one, coming up and, 14,000 people executed at the hands of the syrian government. according to activists inside syria, and the united nations. now, our secretary of state wants the u.n. to consider authorizingry action. that is the breaking news development this saturday, in the story, what would it looks like? would the u.s. get involved? stay with us.

>> harris: several world leaders trying to find a peaceful end to the crisis in syria. the mood turning sour as leaders could not agree on whether syrian president bashar al-assad should stay in power. the push to let him stay coming mostly from russia, syria's strongest ally, hillary clinton says assad must go and, a short time ago, she said the crisis in syria could destabilize the entire region. >> if syria spirals further into civil war not only will more civilians die and refugees stream across the borders but, instability will most certainly spill into neighbors states. >> harris: extensions are rising between syria and turkey and, turkey deploying troops to the border. syria shot down a fighter jet near the border and greg palkot

is streaming live from the capital city. secretary clinton triggered a big question tonight, military action and from what you have seen on the ground what would it looks like? >> reporter: certainly most experts, analysts in the situation here, harris, say that any kind of western intervention would be a daunting task. the syrian military, throughout the country, is waging numerous battles in numerous cities an often in built-up, residential, civilian areas and as you noticed, remembering the downing by syria, the turkish jet, the air defenses here, too, are to be taken seriously. >> harris: i know russia has said they were pleased with the outcome of today's conference. i am just curious, what is the reaction inside syria to the conference. >> reporter: there is no official reaction yet from the regime but we talked on saturday, to a high ranking official in the government, here, and he made abundantly

clear that damascus would not countenance any imposition of the solution of this country from foreign powers. likewise, the rebels for their part have been saying all along they would not get involved in any transitional government which would have president bashar al-assad as a part of it, so, might be strong words from geneva but the blinding, deadly stalemate on the ground here looks like it will continue. harris? >> harris: all right, greg palkot watching it for us in damascus. back home on our soil, new information about a new york attorney. suspected of killing his girlfriend. he surgrendered to police last night, after he beat and strangled danielle thomas he pretended she was still alive and sources saying he sent text messages to her friends from her cell phone saying he was her and she was okay.

tolerance for any form of sexual assault and, this matter, i can assure you, is going to be fully investigated. >> reporter: air force leaders say they believe all 31 of the female victims are still in the air force. but, now their basic training instructors as you said, harris, 12 are under investigation. >> harris: i understand this has gotten the attention of lawmakers in washington, too, as well. what happens next? in that regard? >>eporter: one female member of congress says the military has shown it isn't able to police itself on matters of race and sexual assault and wants some changes now. >> the solution is to take the reporting and investigation of cases of rape and sexual assault out of the military chain of command and place them in a separate office, independent of the chain of command with the authority to investigate and prosecute within the military. >> reporter: there are 500 basic training instructors at lackland

air force base an 9 of the 12 investigated are in the same squad and the leader of the squad, has been relieved of his post, there. for a, quote, unacceptable level of misbehavior by the instructors but has not been accused of misconduct. harris. >> harris: molly henneberg on the story, tonight, thank you very much. across our southern border, millions of mexicans are head to polls to choose a new president amid a drug war growing more violent by the hour and in increasingly threatening to spread over the border and whichever candidate takes the presidency has to find a way to contain the violence, william lajeunesse is streaming live from mexico city. william, who is the front-runner? >> reporter: well, i'll tell you all the candidates say the current strategy failed and, has done more damage than good and

you told me it is still 100° there? >> yes, all of our counties opened, we call them cooling centers, and they are the shelters, where people can go because they don't have air-conditioning and some of them are elderly people and what we have really concentrated on is looking at the nursing homes and hospitals and, to do what we can to make sure they have the power and the right temperatures there and, if need be, we had to evacuate there to other areas, and, obviously have the cooling systems open and, highways working with electric comes in conjunction with them, because we still have a lot of live wires on the ground, to make sure the secondary roads are clear, and, water, ice, things people need to stay cool. >> harris: quickly -- i know you have to get back to what you are doing. state homeland security

secretary jim gianto said the fuel shortage happening now is not actually a shortage but people are in tremendously long lines to get gasoline. what is going on? >> the lack of electricity. you have to electricity to pump gas and we don't have a shortage of gas, per se. gasoline, per se, but we have a shortage of gas stations out there, that has the power to be able to supply. so the lines are getting longer and longer, so, that is the reason we are hoping to get generators and as many stations back open as possible. >> do you need other states to pitch in? >> we could always use that. as you mentioned at the beginning, that fema has stepped up and they have many generators heading to west virginia, and, lots of water, lots of ice, and the kind of things we're looking for now, especially generators, and public water systems. >>. >> harris: i understand, we live

in a country with a lot of generosity and big hearts and lots of prayers for your state and six others, and the district of columbia, dealing with the post storm conditions, governor, we appreciate your time, thank you. >> thank you, harris, i certainly appreciate it. >> harris: the storm knocking out servers, for three web sites, a whole lot of people use, one of our policers was quite upset, because netflix was not working and insta-gram and pintereps, causing server outages for hours, netflix which streams videos and, pinterest were up and running, by the afternoon and for insta-gram, they are still working to get the site back up. he spent decades in prison for a crime he didn't commit, tonight a man wrongfully convicted gets back his freedom and you know what else? gets his life back, reminds you
