>> and they seem to target very prepubescent and very early teen children, and that is extremely disturbing. >> reporter: police say nicklas and honea also have a paramedic background. the news has really shocked their essex neighborhood. >> everybody is pretty much surprised. i mean, everybody that i know that has known them has been surprised about it. nobody can really believe it. >> reporter: here is what is disturbing. police have not been able to find or identify the children seen on any of the videos. they're asking anyone who knowing if a child has been this contact with the suspects to call the crimes against children unit at 410-853-3650. nicholas is being held without bail and honea's bail is set at $5 million. baltimore city's fire department is trying to figure out how one of its paramedics pronounced a man dead this weekend when he definitely was not.

it happened at a northwest baltimore convenience store on garrison boulevard. police answered a burglary alarm and found 51-year-old michael quarles in the store. he lunged at police with what he thought was a knife, so an officer shot him once in the head. paramedics pronounced quarles dead at the scene. but half hour later, detectives were startled when the suspect let out a sigh. the paramedics returned and transported quarles to sinai hospital. >> of course there may have been some medical protocols violated. we're not certain at this point. >> the fire department is investigating, and the paramedic could face a demotion, suspension, or termination. the suspect is still in critical condition. city police are also investigating four weekend murders. two of the victims were 18 years old. one was shot in the back in west baltimore across from gwynns falls park. a 47-year-old man was shot in the leg at the same time. early on saturday an 18-year- old was stabbed to death during

a fight near downtown. police have arrested a 17-year- old in that crime. and there was another shooting in the 2100 block of edmondson avenue. police say someone walked into an auto store saturday afternoon and shot a man in the back of the head. he is in critical condition there is no word on a suspect or a motive. baltimore has now had two violent weekends in a row. and that's sparked outrage from west baltimore neighbors, who rallied together today saying it's time to silence the violence. >> out of our comfort zone and meet the people who need the help so they can stop taking the life. because a life is worth more than what they're thinking. a life is worth more than what they're doing. a life is worth more than what they even think think they have to shoot somebody for. they don't have the right to take another person's life. >> a neighborhood vigil is planned for next saturday. the cleanup continues tonight in carroll and frederick counties following the severe storms that spawned tornadoes.

the national weather service confirms that three tornadoes hit the area last friday, damaging homes and uprooting trees. some of the worst damage was around finksburg. one woman broke her wrist. >> i went into the house and tried to close the door from the house to the garage. which is like a big brown door. and it just closes like this. and so i went to close it like that, and the wind was coming at me. and i didn't have a chance. it blew me back and i landed on my wrist. >> the eastern shore got its fair share of problems yesterday. as the counties face thunderstorms as well as tornado and flash flood warnings, the storms knocked out power to part of south ocean city for a while early sunday morning. chief meteorologist norm lewis joins us now with the first forecast. looking much better today. >> they certainly are, marybeth. around the baltimore area, no precipitation. but maryland's most powerful radar has indicated one little shower. now starting to try to get organized. let me zoom into it. it's down on the lower eastern shore there it is right there.

around the salisbury, delmarva area. that shower is moving towards the north at about three miles an hour. you can probably outrun it the way it's going right now. but those little pop-up showers are possible during the summer time. here your forecast for the metro baltimore area for the next couple of hours this evening. partly cloudy skies. no precipitation. temperatures holding in the 80s for the next couple of hours. we are expecting some heat and humidity tomorrow. and also the possibility of some pop-up showers. we'll tell you all about it, coming up. a man died in a back riverboating accident. 26-year-old scott yeggi was being pulled hen he fell off a large inner tube. the boat operator turned around to get him and he felt a bump under the boat near a propeller. other people on the boat saw a motionless yeggi floating on the water. police say they smelled alcohol on the boat operator's breath. he was arrest and charged with operating a vessel while unthe influence of alcohol.

a carbon monoxide leak pointed ten people this morning on shipp friend road at the commons white marsh. the leak came from two hot water heaters with clogged filters. the six adults and four children were treated at area hospitals. and police are searching for a man who robbed a woman at knifepoint outside of the anne arundel mills mall. the victim works in the mall and was walking to her car when the suspect pulled out a knife and took her purse. police say the suspect left the area in a brown pickup truck with a loud exhaust. they also apparently know who the man is, but will not release his name until he has been arrested. police have also arrested three suspects who robbed two people at a anne arundel county light rail and then tried to escape on a bus. the group of eight male suspects robbed them at the cromwell station just before midnight after implying that they had a gun. the group then got on an mta bus and headed down richie highway. but the victims contacted police who stopped the bus and held everyone on board until

the victims could arrive to identify the three suspects. the cash for clunkers program may be running on empty. white house officials say the program is still up and rung, even though it ran out of money last week. now they're waiting for the senate to vote the program another $2 billion. the president's pledge to honoring the cash for clunkers program through the weekend produced a flurry of trade-ins for local car dealers. now as jeff hager reports, car dealers hope the government refuels its most popular economic stimulus plan. >> reporter: jerry drove from pikesville to bel air in his 1999 gmc jimmy, and he may never drive it again. >> we need to get rid of this car and need to get rid of it today. >> reporter: the cash for clunkers program finds the back lot of this dealership filling up with junker, while new cars with high gas mileage and low price tags are disappearing out front. >> we're actually working with our manufacturers today, trying to get our cars brought in, and trying to get supplement cars

at the current time. because it's been a huge success. >> reporter: the program allows car owners or the trade in gas guzzlers for up to $4,500 in trade value towards new gas- saving models. in the month of july, the jones junction auto group took in almost 250 vehicles in trade, and will be submit paperwork to what is officially known as the car allowance rebate system, or cars, for about a million dollars. coming off one of the hottest car buying weekends in the last year, some car deals are starting to back off on the program, but not here at jones junction. the u.s. how many times has already voted on refueling the program with another $2 billion. and even though the senate is yet to vote on the measure, this dealer is taking a chance. >> we're good for monday and tuesday. >> reporter: for owners like jerry, it's time to move his clunker with high miles before it's too late. >> 175,000. it needs several things done to it. and do i think it's worth more

than 300? no. i think it's probably worth about 3 to 500. >> reporter: you could make about 4 grand on it. >> that's why i'm here today. i would never be able to get 4500 on a trade-in. >> reporter: jeff hager, abc 2 news. >> last week when news leaked out that the cash for clunkers program was to be run out of money, dealers at jones junction remained open, striking deals with anxious buyers into the wee hours of the morning. and cash for clunkers also means a lot of cash for ford. the carmaker says it's on track to post its first monthly sales increase in two years. ford says the clunkers program put it over the top in july, selling about 161,000 vehicles. it would be the first sales jump by any of the six biggest carmakers since last summer. [ closing bell ] and the stock market extends its summer rally. positive reports on manufacturing and banking sends stocks sharply higher today. the dow closed up 115 points

while the nasdaq gained 30, and the s&p closed up more than 15. the fight economy doesn't seem to be hurting lobbyists in annapolis. the state ethics commission says that lobbyists made nearly $25 million during a six-month period that included this year's legislative session. that is actually now about $400,000 less than the year before, but 11 individual lobbyists report earning half a million dollars more than last year. the biggest spender? the maryland jockey club spent $390,000 in lobbying. what are you having for dinner? is it good for your heart? coming up, a maryland doctor serves up news that could help you and your family live longer. and the ravens start up to start their run for the super bowl. he is only single for a few more days. rob carlin has the latest from training camp, in just a few minutes. last night i gave you a 2- degree guarantee for today of 89 degrees. we didn't get that warm today. we only got to 85.

the best bets tuna and salmon. >> but other seafood like shrimp, grouper, catfish don't have a lot of fish oil that is beneficial. >> how do you know you're taking the right stuff? >> i don't know. i'll be honest with you. >> reporter: with so many options, the doctor admit mispeople are uninformed. you should typically take one gram a day. oral suspension is best. but if you take capsules, cut them open, smell the product, and if it smells rancid, your fish oil is bad. kelly swoope, to your health. >> and of course the research will go on. researchers at the university of maryland medical center were awarded $1.5 million in grant money from nih to study more of the benefits of fish oil. now the forecast certified baltimore's most accurate. here is chief meteorologist norm lewis and maryland's most powerful doppler radar. >> you know, even if it hits 100 degrees, we still have

86. and the same up in philadelphia. temperatures around the region right now. it's 81 in york. 84 in hagerstown. winchester, virginia 81. dover, delaware 84. and atlantic city right now at 83 degrees. our satellite picture throughout the day, all the active shower activity has been down to the south of our region, making its way on out into the atlantic. very moderate temperatures. but tomorrow is going to be a warmer day as we get more heat coming in with more sunshine across the region. right now maryland's most powerful radar not indicating any precipitation across the maryland region. but there is one little light shower right down here that we talked about before down around the salisbury area. at this point in time, it doesn't look like it's anything major, but we'll keep our i didn't on it just in case it decides to change its mind. in catonsville 82. brandywine 5981. carney 85. 8 in eldersburg and emmitsburg right now 82 degrees. havre de grace 82. rock hall 85. dover, how are you doing over

there? high of 86. and cambridge right now at 82 degrees. as far as our forecast, for tonight, what few clouds we have are going to dissipate for a mostly clear evening. during the day tomorrow, lots of sunshine. but a chance for an afternoon pop-up thunderstorm. but then on wednesday, a pretty nice day. but again, a chance for afternoon thunderstorms making their way into the region. and once that gets through, things are going to clear up pretty nicely, and also cool down for thursday. here is your forecast for the overnight period. partly cloudy and mild. we'll see an overnight low of 72 degrees. in the northern and western suburbs, we'll probably get into the upper 60s. during the day tomorrow, it's going to be hotter. mostly sunny. a few p.m. thunderstorms are possible buzz of the heat and humidity. high tomorrow 91 degrees. and that's your 2-degree guarantee for tomorrow. as far as again a look at our radar, nothing across the region. seven-day forecast looks this way. 91 tomorrow. 89 with thunderstorm activity on wednesday. but that ushers in the cooler air for thursday and friday. and finally, we'll see some scattered showers and thunderstorms.

saturday partly cloudy, 83. 85 on sunday. 85 on monday as the moderate temperatures continue. we'll see you tonight at 11:00. let's throw it over to mr. sports. well, it's been a long time since the ravens offense felt they could talk trash to the ravens defense. but we saw a lot of it today in westminster. that's because the offense was making plays. joe flacco going up top to compete in demetrius williams. the ravens are hoping he can stay healthy and draw the applause of the fans all season. troy smith with a little hitch and go to ray rice, the runningback, diving grab, corner of the end zone. the refs call it a touchdown. the ravens love his handsment. kelly washington and frank walker, two guys who love to talk get face-to-face. you love it. they both say it was all in good fun. then more from demetrius.

a one-handed grab. corner of the end zone. then the guy they called spiderman goes, he is on the goalpost. john harbaugh perfectly okay, with each side of the ball making the other side better. >> i think our guys are competing. and there is always going to be a little bit of talk. it's good-natured. it's teammating getting after each other and competing. you want to bury the other side and build them at the same time. they got nowhere else to be. might as well have fun with what we're doing. >> terrell suggs says he felt like the kid that couldn't come out and play today. he was hobbling around in a walking boot. the heel injury he suffered yesterday is not serious. todd heap says he has been coming off the line as well as he has in years, which is good, because the former pro bowler has just over 600 yards and four touchdowns the last two seasons combined. he feels he and joe flacco are

ready to have a buying season. >> you know, obviously we've been working the middle of the field a little bit more. so it's fun. and i think that confidence with joe and that trust with joe and myself is going to continue to grow. and we'll kind of work that into the game man a little more. >> the ravens continue camp tomorrow morning 8:45 a.m., open to the public. melvin mora may get his wish. the longest tenured oriole tells the media this weekend he feels he is being disrespect and his time in baltimore may be coming to the end. she out of the lineup again for the fourth time in five games. and finally, it's not yet official, but brian mattis will likely make his big league debut tomorrow because he actually arrived at comerica park in detroit this afternoon. he didn't speak to the media. mattis was 7-0 with a 1.55 era at aa bowie. that's exciting stuff to see what he's got. chris tillman makes his second big league start tonight in a
