reagan national. 95 in baltimore. still feeling like triple digits like 101 is the current heat indiction reported at the reagan national airport. 103 in fredericksburg. feels like 107 in leesburg. on the shore, not far from the bay, 105 in easton. doppler radar will leave you with this. the best chance of showers but they are diminishing through charles county. more in the area south of fredericksburg. that will diminish as well. keep an eye farther west. there are a number of storms across west virginia and maybe later tonight we could have isolated shower or storm. in the short term, hot and humid. that is an understatement. alison: it is. there are cooling centers opening up around the area to help you keep cool. see a list of them at the website wjla.com. leon: now we turn to a developing story out of new york where the explosion that injured a virginia student in central park may not

an accident after all. cnn is quoting several law enforcement sources saying that it was not a firework but a homemade explosive. something called tapt. connor golden stepped on, on july 3. that is the same explosive used in the paris attacks last fall. investigators say that chemicals were placed in a shopping bag and the bag was pressurized, deactivated when it was stepped on. the 18-year-old had to have a foot amputated. the joint terrorism task force is investigating. alison: a lot of questions on that. now nearly two months after police broke up this graduation party right here at the university of maryland. just today we were finally able to see the video from the officer's point of view. our maryland bureau chief brad bell live in college park with the newest information on the case today. brad? brad: it was the body cam video. originally the chief of police planned to relief it publicly

the students involved they asked for a little delay to talk to their parents. he said it won't be released publicly until monday. we did get a chance to look at it. it's backing up what police are now saying about their actions. that they were called. they went to the party in may because of a 911 call. now they know the 911 call was false. and the police are admitting they were in the wrong. the more than 30 minutes of thes police body cam video is not much different than the cell phone clips showing angry party goers and the angry police. what it shows is from the outset, the responding officers who escalatedded tension. one officer in particular screaming at student who answers the door touching off angry protest from those inside the apartment. >> the officers involved, the one officer in

80 hours. there are other issues here with supervision i'm following up on. brad: officers were called by people who had been excluded from the party and who fabricated a story about a fight. are and a weapon. mitchell said the officers should have seen that the party was peaceful and moved along. >> i'm embarrassed and humiliated by the actions of arrivessers. it shouldn't have happened this way. we don't often get it wrong but we did here. >> they are facing charges themselves for filing a false report. he says they do share some of blame here. when we come back at 6:00, we have an opportunity to talk to someone at that party. you will hear her reaction. from college park, brad bell, abc7 news. leon: thanks, brad. new

several local communities never received the amber alert that was issued in fairfax county wednesday. today, abc7 news learned simple human error is to blame. richard reeve is live to explain. you have been doing digging on this. how did it happen? richard: you know, you can get amber alerts through your cell phone. as you said, if you live in alexandria or arlington it just didn't appear. this is just because of a simple error by the virginia state police sergeant who left the two towns off the notification list. at 1:06 wednesday afternoon the center for missing and exploiting children got an urgent amber alert call from the virginia state police. flora khatun and his 6-week-old daughter liz was missing. >> it starts with a law enforcement agency. richard: in the scramble to get information out there was a critical error. a state

alexandria and arlington off the notification list. a clerical oversight that has been corrected. people in oldtown were unaware. >> one of the folks got a message from a family member saying i see you are working an amber alert. richard: media got the alert at 12:30. some cell phones didn't get the wireless notification until an hour later. >> is that an issue? >> hour delay? richard: spokesperson mike murphy says in regular text messages cell phone location and geography were factors. >> one will get the text immediately and another gets it four or five minutes later. that is the different systems or towers that it's bouncing off of. richard: murphy acknowledges the system works but that there is room for improvement. we have learned that maryland state police did not put out an am before alert. flora is in jail

early as tomorrow. live in alexandria, richard reeve, abc7 news. leon: thank you, rich. abc7 can be the backup in situations like this. we can send you text alert about breaking news directly to your phone. sign up fur that at wjla.com. alison: we turn to vote 2016. a busy day for both parties. we are ramping up to the republican convention next week with the rumors flying about who donald trump will pick as a running mate when he makes the announcement tomorrow. right now, hillary clinton is wrapping up an appearance in northern virginia with a man rumored to be on her v.p. short list. a familiar face around here. we have team coverage on campaign trail tonight starting with northern virginia bureau chief jeff goldberg in annandale. jeff: tim kaine was a big hit in annandale. it's still going on. the t-shirt and the buttons

here coming to see hillary clinton and tim kaine. this was a huge crowd. thousands of people coming to northern virginia community college inside the auditorium there. let's take you inside. tim kaine the senator from virginia, former governor and former mayor of richmond introducing hillary clinton. seemed to be an audition for the possibility of being selected as the vice presidential running mate for the presumptive nominee. tim kaine not only speaking to supporters in virginia and also speaking spanish. he is a flute spanish speaking, appeal -- fluent spangish speaking, to appeal to voters. and playing the attack dog when it came to donald trump. tim kaine having no hesitation laying in the presumptive republican nominee. do you want a trash talker or a bridge builder? that is a line they liked. and here is a few more. >> these are you're fired guy. if you apt -- want a yo

choice. but we want a you're hired president. >> do you want a me first or kids and family first? i really appreciate tim laying out the choice like that. jeff: focus on donald trump. and taking note of hillary clinton's trip to virginia. he tweeted this, this afternoon -- a lot of conversations inside the building about donald trump. tim kaine doing the attack dog work against donald trump this afternoon. if he is selected to be the vice presidential nominee for hillary clinton. we can expect to hear that in the months to come. certainly hillary clinton has interesting things to say. also about the upcoming republican convention next week in cleveland. we have more on that at 6:

jeff goldberg, abc7 news. alison: thank you. a note here. apology today from ruth bader ginsberg after the harsh comments she made about donald trump. ginsberg spoke with several media organizations last week. she called trump a faker and didn't even want to think about the prospect of him becoming president. today she said she regretted what she called ill-advised public criticism but didn't apologize to trump directly. leon: trump says he will announce the pick for vice president tomorrow. but tonight the "indianapolis star" is getting ahead of him saying that mike pence is the winner of the veep stakes. scott thuman has a closer look at the possible number two for him. scott? scott: no official word from the trump camp. no official speak from mike pence's office. however that is not lack of speculation

there is plenty out there. this is one of the only still missing big puzzle pieces in the political process. are we looking at the next republican ticket? indiana's governor mike pence auditioned for the job and now media there says he has got it. the former six-term congressman recently skyrocketed in the veep stakes between he, newt gingrich and chris christie. >> i don't know whether he will be your governor or your vice president. >> i truly believe that donald trump has the right vision for america. scott: pence has no shortage of supporters on capitol hill. >> mike pence is a classmate of mine and a friend. i will go with him. scott: but pence disagreed with trump on two seminole, is in the past. last december treating out calls to

offensive and unconstitutional and trading the controversial partnership trade deal that trump opposes. but pence could calm those who are uneasy at the top of the ticket. >> we saw it in the conservative social circles. fiscal conservative. he is a smart opportunity. he has governed effectively. he would be a great audition the ticket -- great addition to the ticket. scott: trump tweeted out tomorrow at 11:00 in manhattan he will make the big announcement regarding the v.p. so we will stay tuned for that and bring it to you as we learn more. leon: you got it. scott, you will be on the road. scott, this is all happening at the republicannial that convention rules committee met to talk about what is allowed and what won't be allowed if anyone tries to block trump's nomination next week. tell us about that. scott: we will be there all week long

there is still a strong contention of abc, the anyone but trump movement. so today and tomorrow you have a rules committee for the r.n.c. meeting. they discuss how it will work on the floor, how the convention unfolds. there is a small contingent of people who believe if they change the rules one way or another they might open the door for someone to come in and surprise everyone to be the nominee instead of trump. it's by most standards a long shot. but the discussion is taking place over the intrigue in cleveland for six or seven days. leon: we love intrigue. we will see you in cleveland. thank you. alison: here is a question. who pays for the conventions? how much do they really cost? coming up at "abc7 news at 5:00" -- why one reporter is actually suing to find out. leon: later, one of the victim of a recent police shooting is laid to rest. the president works to try to bring the nation cog for frank conversation. alison: but first, new informatn

at disney world and what could have made the difference before the death of a little boy. >> it was the warmest day so far in 2016. up next, i'll show you how people braved

alison: we have new information tonight about the weeks before the little boy was killed by an alligator at disney world. the "orlando sentinel" is reporting that firefighters at the resort were ordered to stop feeding the gators about two months before this happened. 2-year-old lane gravers -- lane graves was pulled in the water a half a mile from where the firefighters were feeding the gators. a spokesperson for disney says it's unclear if the gators were being fed were ever removed from the property. leon: wow! well, meanwhile, back at home, we are in the grip of the second heatwave of the summer. old mr. golden sun was beating down on us big-time today, sending mercury to the highest temperatures of the year so far. kevin lewis is live in silver spring where folks are trying to beat the heat any way they can. kevin? kevin: doesn't it seem when the temps are this high nothing tastes better than water. i've downed two so fa t

on a typical day in the field i barely get through one. we set up shop in front of a water fountain. a pretty sight. but it doesn't do much to cool you down. today was by no means ideal for construction work. yet, samuel and his crew got by with rest, shade and hydration. did you sweat at all today? >> yeah. yeah. >> have you drank a lot of water today? >> yeah. really. it's hot. kevin: at pump sunshine in silver spring, executive director curt kerry declared a code red day after seeing the u.v. index hit nine on a ten-point scale. code red meant moving 1,100 campers and 200 counselors indoors for the whole day. >> we have more planned at the outdoor wellness station. we are doing s'mores on the inside. we have an assembly outside but we'll bring it

kevin: the only indoor swim center. provided a refreshing reprieve for kids and adults alike. >> i don't have to worry about her getting sun burned or anything and she just plays in the pool. kevin: with forecasted highs in the 90's through the end of next week. d.c. trash and recycling crews will start pickup an hour earlier at 6:00 a.m. all to beat the heat. coming from someone who has had heat stroke before, if you head outside with temps this warm, hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. if you are outdoors you start to get a headache or feel any weakness, get to the a.c. immediately and lay down. heat stroke is not something to mess with. chief meteorologist doug hill is joining us now. it sounds like this advice, you will need it for a few more days. doug: we have variations up and down a little bit. an hour ago the temperature hit 98 degrees at reagan national airport. that was

far today. in the past hour, temperatures dropped a few degrees. so we are past maximum heating and we will slowly, very slowly start to cool off. the humidity will remain high. in the next few days we will bounce back and forth from the upper 80 to the lower to the middle 90's. there is more to go. we approach now the middle of july. 80 in spotsylvania, virginia. the reason it's cooler there. ;?ke a look at the sky and you will find out. tracking thunderstorms that pass to the southwest but they got clipped a little bit. but enough for a down burst of wind. cooled down to 80 degrees with only a little bit of rain and now the sun is back shining over spotsylvania. with no relief in the form of rain it's brutally hot and humid with a heat advisory continuing until 8:00 p.m. this evening across the area shaded in orange with an excessive heat warning farther northeast to philadelphia and the delaware valley. as far as tonight, it's a slow drop from 98 to 95 in reaan

96 in silver spring where kevin is at the moment. 94 in springfield and dale city. off to the east, not much difference. 94 in largo. what it feels like amends, couple of degrees cooler. it felt like 105 an hour ago at reagan national. now 101. it's a slow process. so even when the sun goes down we have a feels like temperature in the 90's for probably a couple of hours past sunset and beyond. as far as the possibility of cooling showers. we see one moving south and east of fredericksburg to the northern neck and the potomac river. farther west, west of interstate 81. more forth west in west virginia. we will keep an eye on those. it's possible they could make it to the mountain or the metro area or the southern suburbs tonight but they are few and far between generally. once we get through the evening hours here, until 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning is when we see the minimum temperatures. but it's muggy. there is a little fog

high humidity levels expected around the area. for tomorrow, a quick warmup tomorrow. we will hit 90 by noon. 94 in the afternoon. we have no rain in the forecast. humidity levels are not as high as today. don't know that we have a heat advisory. not impossible. right now i suspect not. getting in the weekend, we look as though numbers will hover around 90 degree mark. upper 80's. a cool front. give us the showers and the thunderstorms. 90 degrees. no rain in the forecast sunday. monday back to 94 degree range. another chance of showers and storms. tuesday is 90. upper 80's on wednesday and thursday. so it goes in washington for middle of july. leon: 88 will feel like a breeze. doug: improvement. crazy. alison: thanks a lot. well, a lot of people say art is life. but still ahead -- find out how a woman's literal interpretation, well, getting her in trouble. leon: feeling tense behind the

we will tell you about that coming up. alison: first a look at what is coming up tonight on abc7 -- man: hey baby, how are you? woman: i have a surprise for you. man: you have a surprise for me? narrator: at dominion, 1 in 5 new hires is a veteran. and when they're away, they miss out on a lot. but they won't miss out on financial support.

pay and their dominion salary, and continue benefits for them and their families. why do we do it? because our vets sacrifice enough. "dominion. depend on us for more than energy." ♪ stand by me.

>> jon, thanks. pretty extraordinary process. we saw a lot of public auditions, and at the very end we saw a big voice to the entire trump family. >> it almost played out like a reality show is the way some described it. even newt gingrich was part of the process. one of the best things that may have happened to governor pence was that trump's plane had a mechanical problem while in indiana. it forced all the meetings with pence to happen on his home turf. the trump family played a big role. sources tell abc news that one of the reasons he picked pence is because pence won over the trump children. they wanted to get to hknow him. he's very different from trump but from what we heard is the two men gelled in a way they could bounce ideas often each other. it may be a rocky honeymoon because there are several key issues pence does not agree with trump with. >> a lot of questions -- there will be a lot of qu

which foods are and aren't worth it? >> there is a lack of scientific evidence for me to recommend fully people to buy all 100% organic items. kimberly: you may skip organic for the top seven cleanest produce. seventh place is asparagus, onions, frozen sweet peas, cabbage, pineapple, sweet corn and number one is avenueca -- avocado but go organic for the next on the list. the worst is strawberries. they show 17 pesticides. top 15 is kale, collard green and peppers with trace amount of pesticide highly hazardous to the human nervous system. kimberly suiters, abc7 news. alison:
