brad: yeah, no. this is a bizarre story. i will get to you in a second. a look here, this is the scene. neighborhood of large homes. neighbors who know each other. the roadway closed off by the police tape. on the other side of that evidence van is the actual crime scene. that is the house where the murder took place. we can tell you a little bit about the victim. we can show you her facebook page. this is that facebook page. you ought to see a picture of amanda jones. a woman in her late 50's. that is who was found dead, murdered in her own home. this morning at 10:30 when police came for a welfare check. they went inside and they found her suffering from obvious trauma. this has been declared a murder in this neighborhood. this is just absolutely terrifying news. this woman was well-known, well-liked. >> i'm truly devastated this would happen to her.

she is a sweet woman. just a wonderful woman. a wonderful friend. brad: she is a woman who has suffered as well. what we were going to tell you about is that her own son was shot and killed in an encounter with police here in 2011. at that point police came to this very half and report of the man shooting a shotgun through the home. police went inside. he had a history of mental illness. they were trying to get him under control so he could get psychiatric treatment. he ran and got in a fight with officers. one of the officers opened fire and killed this man. the woman found dead in the home, amanda jones was already a widow. and then this happened to her son four years ago. now she is found dead in her own home. police say at this point it is very early on in the investigation. their investigation wide open. we will be back at 6:00 with much more on this story. in upper marlboro, brad bell, abc7 news.

alison: the prince george's county council is holding a town hall on do mest vike lens tonight -- domestic violence tonight. several homicides this year stemmed stemmed from domestic incidence. it beginnings at 7:00 on suitland high school on silver hill road in district heights. jonathan: there is a new guideline now when it comes to testing and diagnosing breast cancer. alison: joce sterman has the newest guidelines. this is yet another change for lots of women. joce: absolutely. another change. you thought you were confused about mammograms before. here we go again. the american cancer society revised its guidelines again now saying women can wait even longer to get the exams. starting now at age 45. >> hold your breast for me. don't breathe or move. joce: a mammogram is something women know they should get. when you should get them is less clear. today a major change for the top cancer organization, the american cancer society. now saying women with an

average breast cancer risk should start getting mammograms at age 45. >> that committee considers all the evidence over a period of months. did the very difficult job of balancing the benefits and the harms. that is what led to the change in the guidelines. joce: previously they urged women to start at age 40. another big change. the society no longer recommending clinical breast exams. that is pulled back from the past advice that the screening should begin in 20's and 30's. new guidelines issued in a report in the journal of the medical association. changes are a result of the lack of scientific evidence that the past guidelines led to improved breast cancer detection. not everybody agrees. at least one major breast cancer group is still urging women to stick with the previous recommendations. >> we know that the debate will continue about the age to start mammography. this guidelines make it clear by age 45 all women should

begin screening. that is where the benefits substantially outweigh the harm. joce: concerning difference of opinion but one that might be best confronted at the next trip to the doctor. one of the keys of the new guidelines is that it's really up to women to make a decision about what is best for them. you have to have a conversation with your doctor on what you think is best. joce sterman, abc7 news. alison: okay. so if you are confused about when you should start getting tested for breast cancer, that is certainly understandable. here is a rundown for you. the american college of obstetricians and gynecologists says to start at age 40. now the cancer society says 45. and u.s. prevent tiff services task force recommends getting regular mammograms starting when you turn 50. however as joce sterman said, the bottom line is have a conversation with your doctor. jonathan: over in spotsylvania county, virginia, two people were killed overnight in a house fire. this is the 11000 block of

post oak road. firefighters found two people in the house. one was dead. the woman, another victim, was rushed to the hospital where she later died. one firefighter was burned but he is expected to be okay. firefighters escaped a dangerous fire in prince george's county last night in what capped off a busy 24 hours for crews. start with this. a two-story house on third in riverdale. it went up in flames last night. so bad, firefighters ordered all the crews out for fear of collapse. fortunately nobody was hurt. now that fire was just one of seven fires that crews had to fight across the county yesterday. 16 families in all were displaced in the campus way fire and two dogs were killed down the road in the fire on green meadow way. alison: a little more mild today. days like these are becoming less frequent. meteorologist brian van de graaff has the forecast today. looking nice out there. brian: it looks great. at the belfort furniture weather center we are seeing blue.

decision. here is what he had to say. >> i'm going to hear this so let me be the first to say it. i fully accept that my views on many issues are not come patible with the power structure and the nominating base of the democratic party. that party is filled with millions of dedicated, hard-working americans. but the hierarchy is not comfortable with many of the policies that i have laid forth and i'm not comfortable with many of theirs. scott: does that mean he may run as an independent? the question was asked today and he said he will wait and see what kind of responsibility he gets in the next couple of weeks. that is where he should lend his voice where he would do it. but he was careful not to committee one way or another. jonathan: where do we stand on joe biden? is he in or out? what are the deadlines looming to get in the race? scott: the most often asked

question in all of washington these days. the white house briefing today was 90% about joe biden. he has deadlines he is facing. early fightings in some states by the end of of the month. it could prompt him but otherwise it's tough to wrangle the delegates he would need in his corner. we are hearing more chatter in the past 24 hours than we have in the past seven days. he says he has spent time with president obama and he has had hours of meetings. implying that he is close to this point. we don't know which way he will lean. one member of congress that did tweet out something. his source tells him that vice president biden will run. his source is reliable. rumors run rampant on the
