this is a breaking news alert. michelle: that breaking news is out of germany where people are being told to stay inside of their homes while police search for the person or people who open fire inside of a shopping mall in munich. it's next to the olympic stadium where 11 israeli athletes were killed in the 1972 games. let's get to leon harris at the "live desk" with the latest. leon: the latest is six people are killed and others are wounded. they suspect terrorism but they haven't yet called this a terrorist attack. here is what happened. a shooting inside of a mall at a mcdonald's just before 6:00 p.m. on a friday in munich. witnesses say three men with guns entered the mall. but that number not yet confirmed officially. public transportation in munich shut down as police try to find out who is responsible. the state department told all american citizens in germany to sta

in the last hour, president obama spoke out about the shooting and said many details are unclear at the moment but the u.s. will provide germany with whatever it needs. this by the way is the second attack in germany in less than a week. you may recall on tuesday a teen attacked five passengers on a train with an ax. we will follow the latest developments on the case there in germany and we will bring you the latest once we get new information. for now, back to you. jonathan: thank you for that. turn the attention now to the heatwave. the possibility of some very oppressive temperature in the next few days. chief meteorologist doug hill is here with what you need to know. as the afternoon grew on, it got hotter and hotter. doug: temperatures come up. the humidity levels come up. the way it feels outside becoming more and more oppressive. these are air temperatures now. 93 in reagan national. 93 in manassas and frederick. 91 in annapolis. the dew point, the crucial number here once it hit 70 with these temperatures then it starts to feel oppressive. and these values will both continue to rise through saturday, sunday and a

monday. here is what it feels like outside as we speak. feels like 103 in leesburg. 101 in culpeper. 99 in washington. frederick, fredericksburg and annapolis as well. as we go through the evening hours we'll stay partly cloudy. very warm. and increasingly muggy temperatures in the low 90's for the first pitch tonight at the park. as far as any relief from the heat, we have been watching showers diminish during the day. they will continue to diminish tonight. a chance of an isolated thunderstorm to cool us off tomorrow but the better chances aren't coming until monday afternoon. in the meantime we are talking air temperatures approaching 100 degrees tomorrow, and sunday and monday. heat index values the way it feels outside 105 degrees. but there are no advisories or warnings or anything for the heat issued yet. we will have more about those possibilities in a couple of minutes. jonathan: thank you. you hear those temperatures, these are not the kind of temperatures to mess around with at all. right now at wjla.com we have a list of cooling centers across the area for you. if you need those.

in the forecast over the next few days now is a great time to check it out as women. museums can be a great place to cool off if you need to go outside and want to go out on a hot day today. but it wasn't an option at several popular museums near the national mall. ryan hughes picks up the team coverage from northwest washington. hey, ryan. ryan: you just heard how hot it is. now we are having major power problems down here. a lot of the museums are affected. at the newseum a sign on the door letting people know it's closed because of the power outages. the doors are also locked. we saw a lot of different people turned away. show you video we shot a little bit ago this afternoon. the power went out around noon. a lot of people were not allowed in because of the power problems. some of the museums affected the arthur and the sackler gal ryia of arts, african museum of national arts, the national museum of the american indian and theri

closed. newseum is also affected. for a lot of people, jonathan, as you were mentioning, in this heat, they were trying to head inside to get relief from the brutal heat. but they couldn't get in. take a listen. >> it's disappointing because i know my mom, this is one she was really looking guard to. she is interested in native american history and culture. >> we don't know what to do. disappointment. but things happen. ryan: we did reach out to officials with pepco on several different occasions. they tell us they are aware of the power problem but at this point they don't know what caused the outage. crews are on scene. they are working to get everything back online. but at this point they can't tell us when the power will be restored. that is the very latest. we are live this afternoon downtown. ryan hughes, abc7 news. jonathan: thank you. with these temperatures you can see that overloading the system is easy to do. right now at wjla.com, worth repeating we have a list of cooling c

as we do have the chance of storms that could come through over the weekend, the next few days a great time to download the storm watch 7 weather app for your phone or tablet. it's free. michelle: in vote 2016 today, we are standing by for a possible announcement from hillary clinton about her running mate. a lot of the speculation comes back to virginia senator tim kaine. northern virginia bureau chief jeff goldberg is monitoring the situation from the "live desk." jeff? jeff: well, michelle, this decision has been kept quiet all day long. still no answer to the clinton v.p. question. she is expected to tweet and text it this afternoon. everybody has been checking their phones all day long and looking for answer but still nothing. i have been in touch with staff members from tim kaine's staff throughout the day. they have been waiting just like everyone else. still no answer. but according to our reports tim kaine does remain the number one choice on the list. of course, we are still waiting to see if that is the case. tim kaine in boston today for a democratic fund

slated for another one later today in rhode island. camera crews there. you can see caught up with him. no comment on the v.p. search. hillary clinton meanwhile holding a round table discussion this afternoon in orlando. with victims, family members and first responders of the pumas nightclub shooting last month. clinton and kaine you may remember appearing together last week in annandale. they seemed to have a comfortable rapport on stage with one another. tim kaine not only populist senator and former governor in the key swing state of virginia but as the v.p. nominee, he could help clinton significantly with latino voters across the country. >> when you look at the commentary that donald trump offered over the last several months it's cleared that the latinos are not inclined to vote republican this cycle. tim kaine can seal the deal. jeff: here is a look at tim kaine's resume. he is 58 years old. born in saint paul, minnesota, raised in kansas city, missouri. the former governor and lieutenant governor of

of richmond. as senator he serves on the armed services, foreign relations and budget committees. he is fluent in spanish. he has spent time in honduras many years ago. hillary clinton set to appear here. you are looking at a live picture of tampa, florida, where she is expected to hold a rally. coming up at any point soon. we did expect at some point in the rally she would be talking about her vice presidential pick, whoever that might be. but again, the initial thought was that she would text or e-mail or tweet the choice. that still might happen. we don't know. certainly a lot of drama and suspense as we are watching this unfold. it's remarkable in this day and age of politics that this information, that the decision has not been leaked out. it's really a big mystery. few of those in politics these days but that is happening now. we are watching that stage in tampa, florida, now, to see if hillary clinton comes out and says anything. watching the text and the phone and the e-mail. staying on top of this. we will have an answer as soon

decision. back to you in the studio. jonathan: all right, thanks. donald trump and mike pence took some time this morning to thank all the folks who volunteered for the republican national convention in cleveland. >> we had and amazing convention. one of the best. i think it was one of the best ever. we read two or three weeks, oh, this is going to be horrible. we'll have riots. we'll have problems. everything was a problem. a problem. this was probably one of the most peaceful, one of the most beautiful, one of the most love-filled conventions in the history of conventions. jonathan: trump said he would not accept an endorsement from senator ted cruz even if cruz offered one. cruz was booed after failing to give an endorsement to donald trump and saying he wanted to hear trump's speech first before he decided which way he swings. so far today no word from senator cruz on what he thought of trump's speech.

chance on the national change next week. abc7s chief political correspondent scott thuman and brad bell will be in philadelphia for the d.n.c. look for the live reports and specials starting on monday. michelle: the former leader of the ku klux klan says he plans to run for u.s. senate in louisiana. david duke made the announcement today on his website. in the video he said he believes in equal rights for all americans. but demands respect for european americans. he then went on to say he is overjoyed to see donald trump embrace most of the issues he has championed for years. this news comes, of course, as the racial tensions in louisiana are running very high after a police shooting death and the murder of three police officers in baton rouge. jonathan: in fact, michelle, a funeral was held for one of the baton rouge officers. hundreds of family and friends said the final goodbyes to officer matthew gerald. gerald served four year

the army before becoming a police officer earlier in year. he leaves behind a wife and two children. texas company donated the caskets for the ceremonies of all the officers that were gunned down. michelle: major new developments out of miami in the police shooting of a black care-giver who was lying in the street trying to help a patient with autism. the union representing the officer says the victim was not the intended target. charles kinsey was shot on monday. that is him in the green shirt on the ground there. the shooting shows he had both of his hands up in the air. the police union says the officer was trying to shoot the patient but missed his target. kinsey's lawyer says the story doesn't add up. >> i don't understand just like the rest of america how someone could possibly try to justify this. they would be much better off saying sorry to my client. michelle: and this afternoon, it was announced the commander for the north miami police department has been suspended

fabricating information about the shooting. officials have not said specifically what or how the commander fabricated the information. jonathan: coming up for us at "abc7 news at 4:00" -- the running of the bulls may have been last week in spain. apparently the guys in maryland didn't get the memo. michelle: then later. it was a huge sigh of relief it was over and we could move on and we won't have it hanging on the back of our heads. michelle: a mother of three becomes a mother of nine and makes good on a promise to a friend. reporter: a firsthand look at the challenging work done by crews for safetrack surge 5. we take you on

michelle: today baltimore had its own version of the runging of the bulls. this was not a planned event. two bulls escaped from a slaughter house. they didn't get far. they made it only a block before stopping to eat some grass and that is where they were picked up. jonathan: who could blame them? time for a check of the traffic situation. hang la foster keeping an eye on how -- angela foster are keeping an eyeon how things are moving or not moving. angela: "not moving" is the right phrase to use. the interstates are stacked. leaving the capital beltway, especially interstate 95. we are looking at a live shot

on the other side of the screen there is no traffic. northbound 95 is closed due to a crash after quantico 619 before you get to 235 dumfries. this is the southbound side, the get-away in effect. it will be a slow ride for you this afternoon. intersate 66 no such troubles. just heavy volume for the most part. inside the beltway and after the vienna metro station. beltway traffic the heaviest slow interloop from mclean to bethesda. you will be on and off the brakes. northbound i-270 heavy and slow into frederick county. no accidents to report heading to prince george's county. you will see inner loop delays approaching interstate 95 and the baltimore washington parkway. that is the latest on the roads. back to you. michelle: thank you. expect some traffic around nats parks this evening. they are kicking off a three-games

with temperatures expected to be in the 90's for all three games, staff at the park are working to make sure fans stay cool while they are cheering on the team. suzanne kennedy shows us the plan to help you beat the heat. suzanne: we have been out here all morning long watching this just climb. it will continue to climb as we go through the day. take a look at this guy up here. bryce harper. he hit a crusher of a home run. 450 feet on wednesday night. he is hot. you know who else is going to be hot? all the fans that go through the gates at 7:00 tonight. but the nats are taking provisions to make sure that all of their fans stay safe. here is what they are doing. they are opening two cooling centers inside the park in the kennedy and the roosevelt rooms. at the conference center here at the park. they want to make sure even takes advantage of that. also they are allowing people to bring in two one-liter bottles. they have to be sealed. bottle of water to make sure people will stay hydrated and allowing people to bring in b

finally they will have misting fans at several locations inside the park. so if you feel overheated you have some place to go. battery operated fans means something like this. we chose to supersize it a little bit. this is what we need on a day like today. it's already sweltering out here. at nationals park, suzanne kennedy, back to you. michelle: take the advice seriously. hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. jonathan: the amazing part when you are out in the bsun it's hotter. but when you step in the shade it feels 15 degrees cooler. doug: for now. but for sunday and monday you won't see the difference because humidity will be so high. it will be 100 in shade and 105 in the sun. jonathan: bad. doug: no good way around it. no record temperatures seem to be in danger. just another heatwave here that is quite uncomfortable. let's get to it. 93. dew point up to 70. i can tell you already without knowing the exact number it feels warmer than the air temperature already. at these values, t temperature and t

it will be hard to cool off anywhere outside. here is the current feels like temperature. these are the most important numbers. these are the legit numbers for what it does feel like. what happens in the heatwave it feels over 100 degrees or near 100 throughout the day. but at night the feels like temperature stay in the 80's. so you never really cool off. 103 is the feels like in leesburg. feels like 99 in washington and annapolis. it feels like 99 in fredericksburg. doppler radar, showers in the afternoon. moving out of west virginia, showers diminish in harrisburg. overnight very warm and muggy. 72 to 77. the range of overnight temperatures. then once the sun comes up at 6:00 tomorrow morning a rapid increase throughout the day. it will be quite uncomfortable. the citi open forecast tomorrow. check this out. the high will be about 99 degrees in the city. about 4:00 p.m. with the humidity it will feel like 105

the area. future heat index gives you an idea based on computer modeling that at 2:30 sample feels like temperatures not guaranteed. general ballpark. 106 in the district. 108 in leesburg. 107 in fredericksburg. 102 in baltimore. that's what we are talking about. not to the consistent hour after hour of 105 degrees to require a heat advisory but close to it. by sunday afternoon we back it off a couple degrees. still 100 degrees. on monday, back to 105 for the heat index. it will be tough. the next seven days no real relief from the heat. i mean we go from 99 saturday to a high of 93 next weekend. so, a little bit better maybe. but hot and humid weather. maybe a stray storm tomorrow. better chance of late day shows monday and tuesday. jonathan: not a good time to wash the car. doug: that's what teenagers are for. i got two of them. jonathan: i will bring my car to yo

>> said my name "erin." i realized what was happening. jonathan: taking the plunge in more ways than one. the southwest airlines computer glitch that led to thousands of cancellations have been fixed but folks, problems still linger.

michelle: jay korff is live for us at reagan national airport with a look at some of the passengers' frustrations about how they are being compensated for their troubles. what are they being offered, jay? jay: some of the things that southwest is offering is travel vouchers, a couple hundred dollars. they are waiving the fees if you are going to rebook but you have to do it fairly quckly. in some cases they are offering refunds but the customers we talk to said it's been tough to get the refunds quickly. there are still a cascade of problems. there are cancellations, st. louis, little rock, chicago in the last few minutes so still p

julie and her mother are trying to get home to minnesota in time for a family reunion. they hope to make it. but for now they wait patiently at reagan national airport. >> surprise, surprise. on the way to the airport i got canceled. jay: southwest airline canceled their flight thursday afternoon. one of thousands dropped due to crashing servers and backup systems that cared according to the -- that failed according to the carrier. the earlier they could rebook was 24 hours later. other customers we talked to had flights canceled wednesday and thursday. the next problem rebooking and refunds. some customers say they got couchers but the refunds -- vouchers but the refunds are harder to come by. customers tell us they have had a difficult tame sometimes spending hours on the phone to reach an agent and solve a particular issue. they admit it will take time to get back to normal. the chief operating officer apologized on the airline's facebook page. >>

depend on technology to keep us running. one failure and a it can mess up a lot of things for a lot of people in a lot of areas. jay: we should stress that despite all the stress and all the problems, most customers we have spoken with have said southwest airlines employees have opinion -- have been very accommodating. reporting live, jay korff, abc7 news. jonathan: thanks. coming up for us at "abc7 news at 4:00" -- move over carol brady. why this mother of three is taking in six other children. reporter: around our community firefighters are trying to keep you cool checking on you. how do they deal with the temperatures?

"bazang?" "yeah!" "uh, how do i check my credit score?" "credit karma, don't worry bud it's free." "ohhhh." "credit karma. give yourself some credit."

jonathan: so if you are thinking of ways to beat the heat you might need ideas. that's a good one there. doug: yeah. the beach pretty good. ocean water in 73, 74 range. low 90's all weekend long at the delaware, virginia, maryland beaches. that is better. jonathan: wear flip-flops. the sand is hot. doug: get the french fries. so good! all right. if you are staying at home like the rest of us, it's hot. it will

listen, use common sense here. things you want to do outside do in limited fashion. just keep hydrated. plenty of water. keep yourself cool as much as you can. it is going to get better by the end of next week. but we'll have several days of high heat and humidity levels. for the beaches this weekend, 92 on saturday. 87 sunday. 92 on monday. humidity levels high. but the water temperature nice and comfortable. for outdoor diners tonight it will feel like summer. what do you think about that? in the lower 90's. still 89 at 8:00 tonight. the humidity levels are creeping up a little bit. big swim meet around northern virginia tomorrow. 85 by 9:00 a.m., up to the low 90's in the afternoon. crystal city twilighter race tomorrow. brutal. in the 90's and it will feel like 100 degrees. for the next several days look at the numbers. 95, 98, 94, 95,
