horace: now, they were able to take some x-ray equipment and take a look on the inside of the box. they couldn't determine exactly what it was but there were markings on the outside of the box. they called the company showing its name outside the box. they were able to determine after talking to the company the contents of the box. hvac equipment. at this point they have taken it off the span of the bridge and we have got the all-clear. but it has caused a lot of traffic problems. let's get to robert altman to tell you more about that. robert: where the incident happened is at the convergence of two interstates. beltway and 95. we are jammed up through 214 on the outer loop. this will be a long drive with the lanes closed. this will hopefully wrap up shortly and we will get more lanes open. but the damage is done. southbound i-295 now, the

delays begin near route 50 on b.c.-295. everybody trying to take the westbound freeway. that is not a good look either in across the river moving in the 14th street bridge. southbound 395 is slow. from the pentagon to the beltway. everywhere you go is jammed up. best case scenario southbound route 1 through old town if you are living the district. if you can get on the freeway, if you are in the district quickly as you can to further to the potomac. that is to maine avenue and in toward the area of 14th street. exiting there. jumping on the southbound side of route one. once you get on the beltway in route one in alexandria, you are beyond the ips dep and clean and green -- incident and you are clean and green to the beltway. another thing we are seeing is everybody making the turn from southbound i-295 which has been shut down because it takes you into the local lane and filing in the inner loop. everybody getting to 214 and

working their way back. that's the latest from the abc7 traffic center. back to you. alison: thank you. it will be the first cold weekend for a while. our bodies are not used to this. you might have fell a chill this morning. some of us could see frost soon. most of us, temperatures falling in the 30's. meteorologist steve rudin is here with the forecast. steve, here we go. steve: wouldn't you know it? just in time for the upcoming reason. it will feel great for the football games, the sick game. outdoor activity to grab a sweater or a jacket. right now it's not so bad. looking at 67, reagan national airport. leesburg at 64. winchester at 63. elkens, west virginia, 58. the radar is quiet. it's sunny and just a few clouds off to the north of us. not going to amount to a lot. wind speeds between 10 to 18 miles per hour. that is adding an extra chill to the air. you will definitely feel it. outside tonight, if you have plans outdoors, grab a jacket. temperatures 10:00 in the

middle 50's. we will fall in the 40's inside the beltway. cooler off to the north and west. and the latest on the frost watch. that is for parts of the area coming up in a few minutes. alison: okay. get the storm watch 7 weather app if you don't have it yet. it will be the kind of weekend you will want the forecast with you at all times. you can get updates on the chilly forecast. potential frost warnings that steve mentioned. simultaneously from the storm watch 7 weather team. jonathan: other news, a double murder investigation and a love triangle. alison: this all happened in lothian, maryland, where a husband and a girlfriend, who live with the couple are dead. suzanne kennedy at the annapolis courthouse. the suspects make this even more remarkable of a case. suzanne: the suspects are the victim's wife, their 13-year-old daughter, and her 18-year-old boyfriend. authorities tell us that ann marie anastasi planned,

concealed and even tried to create a new crime scene at the murder of the man she was murrayed to -- married to for 18 years and a woman who had become their live-in lover. anne arundel county state attorney says this man, 18-year-old gabriel ezekiel struss admitted to stabbing 25-year-old jacqueline irene riggs, the live-in love and shooting anthony anastasi. struss is the anastasi's 13-year-old daughter boyfriend. the homicides took place october 4. with ann anastasi making critical errors covering up the double homicide. >> miss anastasi provided the initial false report to the police indicating it was a murder-suicide. it was unraveled when we found the .380-caliber casing. she was instrumental based on the investigation in setting the .45 near the defendant's head.

suzanne: authorities also show us in these court documents that the teenagers also made some incredibly dumb mistakes. specifically, that in texts they talked about the handgun, the crime scene and the murder of the two individuals. coming up in one hour, we will hear from the grandfather and the brother of the teenage murder suspect. reporting live in anne arundel county, suzanne kennedy, abc7 news. jonathan: thank you very much. the american airlines-u.s. airways merger finalizing today with the last u.s. airways flight today. this is the end of an era. national airport was a regional hub for u.s. brianne carter is at national airport -- gosh, it's friday. so hard to talk today. that is the last flight from d.c.a. that will taking off. the changes the travelers will start seeing tomorrow. explain it better than i did. brianne: there are changes that you will notice at reagan

national airport. this is an historic day across the country. the last u.s. airways flight set to take off in a few hours. you will start to see all the flights under the american airlines name, as you mentioned, part of the merger announced in 2013. we will take a look at reagan national airport. all the signs you see her behind us. american, american, american. those were all u.s. airways signs just a few days ago. the last u.s. airways flights at reagan national will be a shuttle flight from d.c.a. to boston at 10:00 tonight. however, the final flight for the air carrier is a red eye from san francisco, landing in philly early tomorrow morning. that is when the flight left from today. they were 30 minutes late getting off the ground. the toughest part of merging airlines is merging the reservation system. at midnight, american airlines will put through single reservation system. they have been preparing for switch for the past 18 months with hours and hours of training and 30 successful

regional flights leading up to this moment. also, for the past 90 days if you have been making a reservation, you have already been on that in the system. spokesman for american tells abc7 they will have all hands on deck throughout the weekend and they hope the switch will be seamless for customers. however, some customers flying today are skeptical. >> hopefully if there are problems, it is backed up over the day and we'll be okay. >> or we could be the first to experience it. it will be a coin toss no matter what. >> i don't want to be part of it. brianne: one employee told us they are concerned about the bags over the weekend. american airlines say they are prepared for the switch. coming up here tonight at 5:00, the next time you fly here out of reagan national airport, the changes you will need to know about. reporting live, brianne carter, abc7 news. jonathan: all right. thank you. you know, 76 years, that is how long u.s. airways has been around. but it wasn't always called that. in 1939, american aviation

took its mail service across western pennsylvania. starting out in pittsburgh before adapting and adopting the name "allegany airlines." in 1979 it would change its name to u.s. air to reflect expanding the network across the country. february 2014, the merger with american airlines was announced. alison: around the state now, the group campaign for justice is speaking out in baltimore today. the organization held a rally outside city hall to lay out a six-point plan for police reform in the city. they voted to keep kevin davis. davis was promoted after the fred ses somewhere was fired -- predecessor was fired. jonathan: we first brought you live coverage at 11:00. witnesses describing the shooting near a trip mall. mike carter-conneen joining us live.

teenagers or young men. a constant flow of customers in the nearby laundromat that had surveillance on the back door, where a lot of people go in and out. i spoke to a staff member about that today. we don't have the sound bite from the staff member but he said a lot of people come to the alley because it's more convenient to carry laundry. police are urging anyone who know anything to contact the police. there are potential witnesses in the case. coming up tonight at 6:00, only on 7, hear from close friends of the victim zella who they say lived with them for the last six months. coming up what they say, and what they suspect who may have been responsible for this. was this a hate crime? we will hear from police. reporting live in gaithersburg, mike carter-conneen, abc7 news. jonathan: thanks. leaders in frederick, maryland, are moving forward to plans to remove a controversial statue. board of aldermen approve

jacket and jeans. you see him enter the store ten feet behind nancy dunning. then you see him leave the store right after she does. dunning with a shopping cart full of goods. the man was carrying nothing. prosecutors say the man was charles severance and they contend he tracked her in the store before following her on the five-minute drive to her home and then committing the murder. prosecutors showing jurors side-by-side picture of the man in the store and known photos of him in 2003. throughout the testimony today severance himself looked straight ahead and did not appear to watch the video or the still pictures on the tv screen. this is a key piece of evidence to connect charles severance to the murder of nancy dunning, tim kish and ruthanne -- nancy dunning, ron kirby and ruthanne lodato. the defense will probably say

this is not charles severance. two other details released today in the courtroom that brought silence and focus. what the two details are coming up at 5:30. jeff goldberg, abc7 news. alison: he is going back in the courtroom. you can follow him and get live update on the murder trial. jonathan: coming up for us at 4:00 -- cnbc kaiserring to donald trump -- cnbc caving to donald trump. alison: and the clean-up underway and why it could have been worse than it turned out to be. >> out of the car. you will be tased. jonathan: a connen frommation with police officer -- a confrontation with a police officer. alison: community fighting back after their favorite pizza shop was targeted.

fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal blbleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. you know xarelto® is the #1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. jonathan: she is adorable. flew her invisible plane in. because that's wonder woman. how else would you celebrate a birthday? mary cotter turned 103. sho she can wear the wonder woman outfid proudly. she lives at her home alone but makes it to the senior
