into the campus with k-9 units, which tells me they're less still looking at the cars, trying to rule out the threats of explosives or a secondary attack. they are still working to campus, and active scene. leon: stephen, thank you for that report. we will keep you updated on the story as new information comes in. stormwatchht now, team coverage of what could be a one-to punch, possible downpours. leon: we will watch the path of hurricane joaquin, maryland and virginia both in states of emergency. news, though, it looks like we may not get a direct hit. withve laughed encumbers reporters -- we have live team coverage with reporters all over. but we start with meteorologist steve rudin, who just got another update about the hurricane? steve: yeah, and actually good
