and -- nationality and ex-wife and children. michelle: surveillance cameras catching the truck as it drove more than a mile into the crowd watching fireworks along the beach. this happening during bastille day. inside the truck a bicycle, a semi-automatic pistol and guns. france's president calling this an act in terror intended to strike at the beauty and liberty at france. >> why nice? because it's known around the world. one of the most beautiful cities in the world. why the 14th of july? because it is a day where we celebrate freedom. michelle: among the victims at least two americans, sean copeland and his son brodie. and a u.c. berkeley student nick leslie seen in this facebook photo whose father says is still missing. president obama: their familiar it will like so many others -- families like so many others are devastating. they are grieving and they need the love and support of

grapple with an unimaginable loss. and try to get through what will be difficult days. michelle: dream vacation turned into something so ugly. bouhlel should have been in prison yesterday. four months ago he was sentenced to six months in an assault case but the sentence was suspended. police say he was not on their radar. alison: wow! michelle, thank you. the president ordered u.s. flags lowered to half-staff today in honor of the victims there in nice. at least two americans were killed. that third is missing, as she just said. ryan hughes picks up our team coverage live outside the french embassy in d.c. ryan? ryan: alison, people have been stopping by here all afternoon dropping off flowers and leaving behind kind messages showing their support. you can see one of the messages behind me that says d.c. stands with nice. this afternoon, we spoke with the

nice. he was watching those fireworks and then he witnessed the terror unfold. >> there started to be screaming and panic outside. tables turned over, glass broken. ryan: mark is describing the frightening moments. the streets of nice turned into horror as the city is under attack. >> people literally running for their lives. it was lake something out of a move -- it was like something out of a movie except it wasn't a movie. ryan: he is from d.c. on vacation with his family and just got home when the fireworks started. he pushed his kids away from the window and went downstairs to get a better idea of what was happening. >> one of the grimmer things was a whole convoy of vehicles from nice city coroner's office come.

>> a single candle flickering in the wind. >> around the world, this is becoming a new normal. there is something wrong with that. the question is how do we change that? ryan: security has been increased around the embassy. the french flag now flying at half-staff. leon, mark tells me he will not be ending his vacation early but like so many others his thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. we are live tonight outside the embassy, ryan hughes, abc7 news. alison: ryan, so often a question after attacks like this. could this happen here? something similar? fall buildings have had pro -- federal buildings have had heightened security and

oklahoma city bomber. but remember when the guy drove his tractor on the national mall? it was about 13 years ago. something like the national mall or any area where a lot of people gather is considered a soft target. but preventing any kind of attack could just bowl down to the four words -- boil down to four words we heard before. see something, say something. >> it's really going to take public involvement. we really need deliberate, unconditional, public involvement to combat extremism. alison: coming up at 6:00 tonight we are taking a closer look at security around local landmarks and the softer targets we just mentioned. leon: anxious relatives are waiting for any word from loved ones. facebook set up a site called s.o.s. nice to try to help out. lisa torres joins us live from nice to give us the latest. can you tell us as far as identifying the victims goes, has there

where does the process stand right now? reporter: we know in the last three or four hours we heard from the office who updated us on the victims that many are still missing, many still trying to find the loved ones and to give you a sense of how hard it has been. when i arrived today, i saw the main promenade. if i move out of the way so the camera can fill in. this is almost like a sense of going back to normal. the police in the area calmed down. but along the promenade was splattered with blood. we had dining tables also. there is the ones that cover the families. on top of that, leon, i saw bikes abandoned on the side of the beach, bikes mulled over; completely rolled over. it gives you the sense of the events t

yesterday and people fleeing for their lives. for many people, questions still being asked. exactly why this has happened to france the third time in 18 months. leon: what can help us all figure out where to go from here is to figure out how bouhlel was able to pull this off. what do we know tonight about whether mohamed bouhlel had help or assistance or any other motivation for doing this? reporter: the motivation is what they are trying to find out. initially there was a lot of speculation in the french media that perhaps there was a second person with him. but that doesn't appear to be the case. police investigators are being tight-lipped. we know that the 31-year-old, we know that he was born in tunisia but grew up here in this very city in nice. he was married. he had an estranged wife who at the moment is being questioned and he has two children. we have heard already from people who have different views of him. some said he was quite quiet, some strange. others said he wa

and very nice. what we want to understand is the way that he came in. this was cordoned off. this was bastille day. the most important celebration in the french calendar. and, according to french media reports he actually drove in pretending to be selling, coming in to deliver ice cream. that's when he went onto to the pavement and started shooting. so many people do not understand the motive here. one thing is interesting. i will tell you this, leon. after the attacks over a year ago and this is franchise young people who live on the periphery, who don't have jobs and many of them who have been radicalized in prison or online. that is the situation that france is facing right now, leon. leon: interesting. have to see if there are any parallels now as we learn more about what happened and how to prevent it from happening again. thank you so much. alison: all right. we move now to breaking news.

turkey tonight. there are conflicting reports about an attempted military coup in that country. our chief political correspondent scott thuman is live at the abc capitol hill bureau monitoring the situation. what are you hearing out of turkey tonight? scott: important to note and you just did but i want to repeat that. there are conflicting reports. that is not unexpected. the military is claiming success and the government is saying they are retaining power. that is the caveat. you cannot overstate the significance of what we see now. tanks rolling through the streets of turkey. fighter jets reportedly flying over the capitol as the military, the army there is trying to seize control of turkey. this is important. this is a major ally. a member of nato. a true player in the war on terror. for example, the u.s. has assets at the air base in the

syrian border. it's strategic importance that once again is very valuable in the war on terror. why is this all happening? president is being said he grabbed at too much power for the last couple of years. i was in turkey last year, everyone you spoke to was critical of the political process saying they had concerns about president but he held on and he has been blamed for intensifying the fight going on against if borders against the kurds, the p.k.k. so he has been taking a lot of heat. we understand according to many report he is is on vacation now. but we are still trying to verify that. nevertheless, bridges, major bridges especially because turkey is split between asia and europe. the major bridges taken over by the military. the airport taken over. we are seeing flights that have been stopped. social media shut down. this is not unusual in turkey when there is bad news for that to happen.

confirming there is gunfire. we are monitoring it and we will give you more developments as we get them. leon: important developments. thank you. we'll get back to you later. folks, you can get text alerts like breaking news like this on your phone. sign up for that at wjla.com. we will keep you posted. new developments in the case of the northern virginia man who tried to join isis. today his federal court he was sentenced to 8-1/2 years in prison. he was arrested in january at the richmond airport. prosecutors wanted him sentenced to at least 16 years in prison. alison: a developing story out of alexandria tonight. where this dock on the on your screen, 75-year-old fausto fernandez has been charged with sexual battery. a victim contacted them after a visit with fernandez at a medical center. the victim said in the exam the doctor told him to take off all of his clothes and touched him inappropriately.

if there are any other possible victims. leon: meanwhile, health officials sail four case -- say four cases of legionnaires' disease has been found in the water of the golden sands condo. none of the cases have been fatal fortunately. legionnaires' disease is a form of pneumonia. symptoms include shortness of breath, headaches, coughing and fever. coming up ahead here at "abc7 news at 5:00" -- the heat is taking a toll at the d.c. jail. we'll tell you what the sources are telling us about what they think happened at the facility. alison: later, a grand jury decides whether the officer who shot and killed a colleague during in shootout will face any charges. leon: but first, it's official. a look at donald trump's running mate. we will take you live to cleveland, as the city prepares for next week's convention. steve: a little break from the humidity but it is coming back for the weekend. and the real heat and the humidity is back next week. a look at the

at 7:30. he reportedly tried to swim to a nearby dock when the lifeguards noticed a swimmer in distress and jumped into action. >> covered a couple hundred yards of water. jeff: the head of the homeowners association for lake barcroft joined others for the search. but this morning, they found him body ten feet of water, 15 feet from a dock. >> everybody performed as trained. sadly we regret the loss of a life this morning. >> sister attended high school with munga. she thinks of the big year ahead. >> we know we have to do this for jeremy. we have to make it through the last year of high school for jeremy. jeff: this has been an incredibly difficult work for j.e.b. stuart hi

particular as earlier in week a former member of the team who graduated last year took his own life. followed last night by jeremy munga's death. a terrible situation for the high school. and today at the school, members of the team, the student body and staff members were altogether working through this difficult time. live in falls church, jeff goldberg, abc7 news. alison: okay. thank you. we turn to politics now. donald trump made it official today. indiana governor mike pence will be his running mate this november. trump sent out this tweet after postponing a scheduled event out of respect for the victims of the latest terror attack in nice. governor pence had a noon deadline to file for re-election in indiana. so the team had to get the word out. leon? leon: as you know, the attack in nice is raising concerns here about security heading in the convention. we have heard that things will be tight in cleveland. that is no surprise. once the republicans begin meeting mony

marci gonzalez is there now live. she checks in to give us an update. tell us what you are seeing there with the security preparations. marci: barricades and fences have gone up in downtown cleveland in an area surrounding where the convention will be housed. that is already happening. officers have already started to come into town from other part of the country. the officers who are based here in the cleveland area, of course they have been preparing for this for more than a year saying they are ready handle any kind of issues, any protest that may spring up in downtown cleveland or even in the suburbs. where so many of the delegates will be staying. also the secretary of state of homeland security jeh johnson is in cleveland. he had been going command centeo some of the 3,000 federal officers and the agents who will be here in cleveland operating the command centers out on the streets, making sure that everyone stays safe here. leon: all of that was put in place before the attack in france

do we know if changes have been put in place or are going to be put in place since we got word of what happened in nice? marci: we haven't heard of specifics but they have security at a max here. they have planned for every possible scenario and that includes everything they could have added after the attack in france. leon: not sure if you know about this but i want see what you heard there. have you heard anything about whether are concerns that are monitoring the crowds? they usually do it oversees, not in the states. marci: that is interesting. i have not heard anything about that. i will let you look it up then.

live reports from cleveland starting monday. alison: what a change. today was pleasant, especially if you weren't in the direct sun. steve: a change in wind direction makes all the difference. more out of the northwest now. it's not as humid and sticky as it was 24 hours ago. if you like it hot and humid, wait another few days. it's coming back. alison: we know that. steve: a lot of folks are heading to the delmarva beaches to enjoy themselves at the beach. ocean city, maryland. live shot via the weather bug network. the beach is beginning to quiet down a little bit. still people out there to enjoy themselves. i guarantee you it will be a different picture come tomorrow. if you have plans to head to the beaches you are going to look for temperatures that are going to be 89 degrees for the rest of this afternoon. 85 for the day tomorrow. chance for pop-up showers and thunderstorms. on sunday.

plenty of sunshine at 8:00. the sun will set at 8:32 this evening. temperatures in the upper 80's to the lower 90's. upper 80's for leesburg and manassas. 90 in fredericksburg. lower 90's at the reagan national airport. dew point levels we talk about it every so often when it is super, super hot and oppressive. yesterday we had dew point levels in the 70's. the reason why it feels so much better out there now, we have the dew points in the lower 60's inside the capital beltway. so it feels like temperatures not nearly 100 degrees that we had yesterday at this time. but lower 90's. still hot. if you have outdoor activities planned, take it easy and drink plenty of fluids. the pets, even though the sun will go down in three hours it's still plenty hot out there. satellite and radar, a few clouds out there. it stays dry for the rest of the evening and in the overnight. 60 to 75 degrees for the low.

side. future heat index. if you are waking up tomorrow to go to the farmer's market, grabbing cup of coffee or taking the dog for a walk, quick warmup to middle 90's for heat index values by 3:00 in the afternoon. we look for the temperatures to dry out a little bit with the stickiness feeling tomorrow night and another hot day on sunday. however, more sun and the chances for thunderstorms harley anything at all. as we move through the noon hours we could pick up a stray thunderstorm. i'm not expecting a lot. i want to show you the future cast with the potential for the showers and the thunderstorms as they move through the late afternoon hours tomorrow. in the dinner time, if you have barbecue plans keep a watchful eye to the sky.

the next seven days, it shows 96 on sunday. 96 on monday. added humidity. thunderstorms on tuesday will cool things down a tiny bit. notice thurs and friday we are back to 90, to 95 degrees. by the following weekend we could see some of the hottest air so far this season. instead of talking about two numbers. we might have to talk about three. leon: you say that every other day now. steve: it's july. alison: enjoy today. it's nice. okay. leon: all right. alison: thank you. leon: thanks for nothing. all right. makes you want to get away, huh? vacation. alison: yeah. leon: how about taylor swift vacation? heard about it? alison: i bet they are fun. leon: she is having an interesting time. it's not all rest and relaxation. we'll show you that coming up. alison: later, health information for you about zika and how it can be transmitted. leon: but first, a look at what is coming up tonight on abc.

this church has been here since 1870. it's in busy sterling. an area, enclave so to speak. this is church street and it was named for this church. but the church will now be no more. just off busy church road in sterling, virginia -- >> it was very beautiful. it was very ornate. richard: stands a historical name sake. >> this is one of the best remaining examples of the history of guilford station. richard:: when the methodist church was built in the 1870's, the area had a different name. there was a railroad line. >> it's no secret i'm not fan of another storage facility. richard: a developer is going ahead with plans to demolish the church and build a five-level storage facility. >> it's time for it to go. we could do something better with the land.

meetings other ideas were discussed. cutting the building in half and place it behind the storage unit. or take it down piece by piece to build it elsewhere. >> we could reconstruct it and make it into something functional. maybe not a church but maybe a community center, something useful. richard: in the end, county zoning officials approved a plan to build a small park with a historical marker to keep the church's spires on the side. >> it's in loudoun's interest to preserve that piece of the past. richard: maybe a wake-up call for other historic sites. >> look to rebuild and bring it back with new developments. >> to lose this, it's to lose identity i think for the community. richard: now the preservationists say to be fair they think the developer was working with them, trying to come up with some kind of solution. we are told the church could be demolished any day now. coming up at 6:00, we speak to young people who were born 130 years after the church was built.

reporting live in sterling, richard reeve, abc7 news. alison: okay. let us know what happens with that one, rich. thank you. coming up at "abc7 news at 5:00" -- deal or no deal. we look at the negotiations between redskins and kurt cousins and tell you what happened by the deadline today. leon: but first, grand jury's decision about a case of friendly fire that left a local police officer dead. sam: death of an inmate at the d.c. jail yesterday, did it have anything to do with the heat inside? i'm sam ford. that the greek flavors of our mediterranean collection.ve your choice of delicious chicken or hearty steak. with crumbled feta and cool, creamy tzatziki sauce. try our mediterranean collection today. subway. fresh is what we do.

but how did we end up here? his mom thought he had the flu and that he was covered by the meningococcal meningitis... vaccine he had received. until 2014 there were... no vaccines for meningitis b in the u.s. now there are. while uncommon, meningitis b can... lead to death within 24 hours. trumenba is a vaccine for 10 through 25 year olds to help prevent group b meningococcal disease. trumenba should not be given if you had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose. most common side effects were injection-site pain, fatigue... headache, muscle pain, and chills. ask your doctor about... all the risks and benefits of trumenba and tell them if you've received any other meningitis b vaccines. meningitis b can be spread by typical sharing behaviors.

a drink... a spoon... a kiss. it all started here... it might have been prevented with trumenba. ask your doctor about trumenba.

leon: let's get an update on breaking news in turkey we are watching there, word of a possible coup. our chief political correspondent is at the abc7 capitol hill bureau. anything new on the conflicting reports, whether or not a military coup happened? what do we hear? scott: this just there. a statement read from the turkish military on tv. saying indeed they are the ones in power. armed forces seized power citing increased terrorism. so on the media airwaves the army is saying it has taken control away from president erdogan and is now ruling turkey. quick two notes here. secretary kerry is

he has been briefed on this as well as president obama. secretary kerry saying he is hoping for stability and continuity in turkey. an important ally of ours. we have u.s. military and waiting to see if the u.s. military inside turkey, u.s. forces are leaving and staying put. that is one eye tem to keep a ice -- item to keep a close eye on. leon: keep us posted. alison: meanwhile, closer here to home, hot july temperatures are causing big concern at the d.c. jail. that is because the air conditioning and the chillers there are not working. the problems don't end there. d.c. bureau chief sam ford live in southeast washington with more. sam? sam: yes, alison. they say they are working but apparently not working very well. there is a question whether an inmate who died yesterday, whether his death had anything to do with the heat inside the jail. with the 90-degree temperatures, some questions have been raised about inside the jail. in some cases being 100

the union president was not available to go on camera today but said in parts of the jail it never gets any cooler inside than it is outside and that the eventlation in the 40-year-old -- ventilation in the 40-year-old facility is a problem. they issued a statement saying the director of general services and d.c. corrections visited the jail today and hired a contractor to, "improve the air flow and circulation systems." at the jail, the inmate, as we said, an inmate died yesterday. in the department of corrections statement they said we have no reason to believe that there is a connection between elevated temperatures at the jail and inmate's death. the fact that fire department folksman said perhaps the death was -- spokesman said perhaps the death was related to a stroke. it was a busy day for the emergency officials at the jail. the ajay daunt

facility a woman was taken to the hospital after overcome by fumes. hazmat workers followed up and only one person was taken to the hospital. for the situation with the heat, the head of the union said he has been lobbying for some time with the city officials to build a new jail. he believes it's the only way to fix the problem. i'm sam ford, abc7 news. leon: thank you. in baton rouge, louisiana, the man who was videotaped getting gunned down by two officers was laid to rest. private service for alton sterling was held this morning at southern university. reverend al sharpton and reverend jesse jackson were there. sterling's death with the death of philando castile sparked national outcry. in prince george's county the officer who mistakenly shot a

not be charged. a grand jury decided against indicting officer taylor krauss after he mistook officer jacai colson for an armed threat. this happened in march when the station was ambushed by three brothers. you may remember that story. colson was undercover at the time and wearing plain clothes. officer krauss has been on administrative leave for the past four months but he can return when the investigation is finally concluded. alison: coming up at "abc7 news at 5:00" -- fresh idea for paper. you will meet the working woman who is making a business out of a family secret. leon: then coming your way new at 6:00 -- two americans among those killed in france. one of them 11 years old. what his teacher said she told him when she saw him for the final time

steve: finally the weekend is here. so much going on around the d.m.v. don't forget about the citi open. it starts tomorrow. afternoon temperatures will be in the lower 90's. a chance for a few thunderstorms. i think the pick day of the weekend is sunday. at least it will be dry. 93 degrees for daytime high. for tomorrow night, don't forget of course the craft beer festival at tysons. temperatures once again in the 90's. both saturday and sunday. if you have travel plans not to the delmarva beaches but west of the mountains, upper 80's tomorrow. middle 80's on sunday. spend your weekend longer into monday. looking at 84 degrees.

woman: i have a masurprise for you.are 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. because we cover any difference between their military 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."

alison: it can be a frustrating problem. you buy fresh fruit and vegetables for your family but to throw out more than you like when it spoils. a working woman took an idea her grandmother gave her as a child and turned into a booming business. she is an entrepreneur and a successful business owner. but it all started at 12 years old on a trip to india to visit her grandmother. she accidentally drank the tap water. her grandmother quickly brought her a spiced tea so she wouldn't get sick. >> i drank it and i ended up not getting sick. i still remember that moment was almost mag

curiosity and fascination i have now had with the spices that my grand mother used. alison: she came home to maryland and she did a science project on her grandmother's concoction and for years tried to turn the antibacterial and the anti-fun gal properties to a product to keep food fresh. but she couldn't figure out how to get it off the ground until she made one last-ditch effort. >> i made a bag and i took it to the local farmer's market. i was blown away not just for the people there but the need they expressed. i had no idea in my backyard food spoilage was a problem. alison: fresh paper was born. from farmer's market to whole foods, amazon.com and more. she infused her grandmother's spices to a piece of paper to lay on a fruit bowl, in the baggage or in a refrigerator drawer. it's all natural and organic and she saysi

fresher to the four times longer. >> there are over 800 million people that still go hungry every day because of inefficiencies and the food distribution. a lot of that is spoilage. thank you so much for the opportunity to be here today. alison: this week she testified on the hill about reducing barriers to help american entrepreneurs better access global market. as her year's long mission takes off she can't help but think of her grandmother all the time. >> i think she would be excited. i think she must be proud. i think she is guiding a lot of what she can do here. don't dismiss your ideas and don't feel like one person can't make a difference. alison: fresh paper launched a product for bread. they are working on one for cheese as well. this is the global impact she is excited about.

her hope is to take it full circle and help the families like her grand mother who didn't have the access to those things that makes food spoil. leon: if they develop it in a way affordable enough for people in the third world countries, it could make a huge difference around the world. amazing. alison: she is special. leon: coming up at "abc7 news at 5:00" -- a woman with a disability isn't letting that stop her from excelling in sports. softball to volleyball and equestrian. she has done it all. the story of the special olympics superstar coming up. alison: this weekend, we invite you to join our sister station. the tennis channel for the live coverage at the citi open. it begins tomorrow. this is where you can see the channel through the local cable company. the list is on the website, too.

navarro went before a judge for sentencing. kevin lewis now with how long he is going to be behind bars. kevin: mauricio morales-caceres, an ms-13 gang member who illegally immigrated to the u.s. sentenced today to life in prison with no chance of parole. it's all because he savagely murdered oscar navarro, an innocent father with a steady job. morales-caceres used a 15-inch knife to stab navarro 89 times. he then scalped him and removed his liver. navarro was alive for most of the barbarism. his estranged wife and children later found his body. >> i didn't see anything. he's lying there. i see blood. i'm saying, "oscar, oscar," and he doesn't get up. kevin: police used a fingerprint in the bathroom and bloody shoe prohibit -- shoe print on the carpet to

killing navarro would translate to greater gang respect. >> it won't bring navarro back but justice has been served. this video proves that morales-caceres didn't have an ounce of remorse. but rather glee. seen here receiving a tattoo with the number 503, calling card to el salvador and calling card of ms-13. >> it's not worth it. you will do life without parole if you commit this crime. kevin: kevin lewis, abc7 news. alison: let's check on the roadways now on a friday. jamie: this is a slow one from capital beltway from virginia to maryland. we are seeing that on the bottom side of the beltway from van dorn street to get to prince george's county as well as the northwest corner eight miles per hour from
