but george sodini did what he said he would do on the web. he said he came to the club with guns ready to carry out this sick plan but he, quote/unquote, chickened out. authorities say he came here three times yesterday, and the third time he walked in, and he went back in this building here, went back in the aerobics area, went in, very calm turned out the lights, pulled out three of his four guns and just started firing. he killed three women. nine others wounded. auorities say three of them still in serious condition. but, really, they're trying to put together this map's twisted last days and his thoughts based on his internet, his rambling internet writings, and authorities say it is pretty terrible stuff. he said he hadn't had a girlfriend since 1984. he wondering why 30 million women in the united states, none of them was attracted to him.

deadly rampage. jim? >> brian, bebeyond the internet, what are people who knew the gunman saying about him? >> reporter: well, it's sort of the cliche. you go to the man's neighborhood. he was a quiet man, he kept to himself. he seemed to be successful, working for a big law firm here in the pittsbuh area. but authorities say that based onhiseb wxc -- rambling web fe alone, somebody should have seen something, somebody should have known the warning signs were there. this was clearly a troubled man. >> brian mooar in bridgeville, pennsylvania. brian, thank you. the district is understand taking a new plan to limit the sexually transmitted diseases. the plan is to test every student if the high school starting this fall. it's voluntary will and will not require parental condition sent. they found that 12 to 14% of the 3,000 teens tested were positive for either chlamydia or

their 140 hair ohhing days in north korea are over. they're back home. laura ling and euna lee have returned home. colleagues and top leader whose worked so hard to get them home. the emotional home coming came after kim yonjong-il partened t. it came after talks with former president bill clinton. >> we were shocked, but we knew instantly in our hearts that the night mary of our lives was finally coming to an end.

ling and lee both worked for al gore's current network. they received heartfelt thanks for the release. nbc news correspondent george lewis joins us now to tell us about that. what did they do? were they sent to hard labor? what did they do behind the scenes? >> reporter: actually i think it's more what their families did. they had a series of vigils throughout the country. they worked tirelessly behind the scenes with state department officials and others to negotiate with the north korean government and eventually after all of these negotiations bill clinton was sent off to north korea with a promise that if he arrived and had talks with kim jong-il, the leader of north korea a, the two women would be released in his custody, and indeed they were. but imagine their shock after

being captured in march a, then put on trial as spies in june, sentenced to 12 years of hard labor thinking they were going to be sent off any moment to a north korea gulag, they walk into a room and there's bill clinton. they knew at this moment they were going to be freed as you saw in that sound bite. so a lot of intense behind the scenes negotiation which you'll hear from my colleague andrea tchell. the two young women were reunited with their families. some very touching scenes, wendy. >> which is lovely. also this is interesting because you wonder if kim jong-il needed some attention. he needed someone to come pay their respects, if you will. and what does this signal now for the future between north korea and the u.s. if any talkses will result in the future from this.

>> reporter: i think you hit the nail on the head. it's the aretha franklin factor. r-e-s-p etds r-e-s-p-e-c-t. here he is in a photo op. he wu gas getting respect he fe he needed. whether this will result in future negotiations over the nuclear issue, that will be complicated. we'll have to wait to see whether the opening that has happened will lead to other thgs on the diplomatic ont. all right. thank you, george lewis. thanks so much. and george will have the latest on laura ling and euna lease's return and their reunion with the family, coming up at 7:00. a medical muir miracle has touched the lives of 14 people

>> good story. >> i understand we could be in for a little change. >> tonight we may see rain showers. no tropical rain, though. no tropical systems yet. here we are heading into the middle of august and we haveon t to see the first named system even form. it started june 1st. so in the last 50 years, the last 50 years, what has been the latest date for the formation of the first storm? is it right around august 10th? august 29th, september 22nd or as late as december. when was the latest we had the first named one? >> we're in total agreement. >> no longer. i've broken away from you. i say august 10. >> august 10. >> i hope you're wrong. >> i'll go the other extreme. >> september. >> yes. >> the named one. not the first one that comes and messes your hairupro. it doesn't matter.

>> august 29, 1977. almost september. that way back -- that w w the first day. and the most recent one, the one that many folks remember, hurricane andrew. he remember hurricane andrew formed quite late in the season too. middle of august. as a matter of fact, andrew, as rmrrible, terrible as thatto was, was the only hurricane that season to hit the united states. let me show you where there is a hurricane and quite a hurricane. this is a major one, felicia. there it is. if you look close, you can see the eye. it's over 1500 miles away from baja. here's how they look high above the atlantic. look out in the atlantic. there's the coast of after ka. a couple of little waves and that's all that's been going on. the caribbean, the gulf really almost cloud-free. a little tropical wave there. in part because there have been some fairly strong winds. so far. so far a it hasn't allowed any tropical systems to form. we don't have any tropical

weather but we do have a couple of showers that tried to pop up but now they're pretty much died out. certainly not as widespread as i thought we'd see yesterday. but here's an area of rain. this is plain old chilly rain down into the mountains of north carolina. i think that's a sign with a weak weather front that there will be an area of development. temperature there is 66 degrees. so overnight tonight there's that little area of low pressure. tomorrow morning a little bit of a north to northwesterly breeze. it will be cool. i think rather cool with some rains. perhaps as much as a half inch of rain for you. overnight toward the remainder of the evening, a lot of clouds out there. no showers. temperatures into the low 8. 80 to 85 degrees. after midnig, 1, 2:00 in the morning, especially in southern maryland, i think there will be rain and a chance of rain with

temperatures into the 60s around us tomorrow morning. some of that on and off rain showers, perhaps a quarter to a half inch of rain up until about then it noonti. then it begins to move off. behind it much, much drier air a willomine . te'll have one refreshingus aug day on friday, so look forward th .at heading out to the .me n,o problem with any rain showers. odasl baleb weather once al again. not too humid. temperatures in the mid # 0s for maybe a whipping streak to continue. >> and still no sign of tropical weather forming. >> we're on a loodsing streak here. >> next week. >> thank you, bob. there's all that. coming up, a man tasered by police three times and gets up like nothing happened and we're going to take a look. a district man rushed to the hospital after he was bitten by a snake. we'll find out how you can use -- how people are using hole lis tick mtoice in e

members and community work they do. monday night at the historical society's carnegie library downtown they held a lavish reception but at the request of the mayor's office, city taxpayers paid for it. two bands, open bars, tables of food. >> there are some things in life where u o want tspeak clearly in saying, you know, this was just a mistake. >> after the party, fenty asked attorney general nichols to review the payment and nicholls said it wasnt improper. the mayor still declineo t say how the payment came about through the mayor for economic vept nor did he name names of anybody involved. >> any employees who knew about it have been advised and revised that you've got to pay much better careith the d.c.

taxpayer dollar commitment to making sure nothing like this happens again. >> reporter: asked about more details of the party about a school remodeling program fenty repeated that using tax dollars had been amistake. >> there's absolutely no excuse that should ever come out of my mouth. this should not have happened. everyone who's been affiliated with it has been instructed not at to let anything like it happen a again and the money has been returned to the government. >> this is the third one. more on that coming up at 6:00. a d.c. man had to be taken to the hospital after being hidden on the hand by his own snake. doctors say it could have been a lot worse. chris gordon explains. >> reporter: this is a poisonous copperhead snake. it bit the hand of a han who just bought it from a neighbor for $100. # 1-year-old jason dale from washington loves snakes and collects pythons which are not

poisonous. the neighborhood said he had a python that he could add to his collection but now jason is being treated for a serious snake bite. >> in the beginning only this was swollen and i didn't think nothing of it. in 30 minutes my whole hand was swollen. then i nded to get to the hospital. my fingers is swelling. now it's spreading up my arm. >> it happened on mellon street in southeast washington. >> set the snake down and i got offensive. when i go to pick it up the snake turned around and bit me in my hand. >> reporter: you thought what at the time? >> i thought nothing of it. i thought it was a python. pythons are not poisonous but once my happened swelled up i called the ambulance and they said go get it checked. >> reporter: he was brought to the emergency room and it's a good thing he was. if he had not been treated for the venom from the snake bite in his hand it could have been

life-threatening. >> at this hour as we speak it's not immediately life-threatening but the whole purpose of admitting him and starting the antivenom is to prevent it. after all, this was a poisonous bite. so there is no question whether it was poisonous or not. this was a poisonous bite. jason dale says if there's good news in all of this it's that he didn't put the snake around his neck like he does when he wears the other snakes in his collection. >> i consider myself very lucky. the copperhead snake was taken to the d. krchl care and animal control facility. they say they'll try to place the copperhead with a reptile rescue group. chris gordon, "news 4." doctors at howard university hospital say there are two types of poinous snakes in the d.c. area. copperheads and water moccasins. they say if you're not familiar with the snakes, don't pick them up. it is no secret that raising a family is expensive, but new res from the fiusda say how

and over us. that is well after midnight, but by 3:00, 4:00, 5:00 in the morning for yourarily morning rush hour, there could be some light rain showers, wet going. watch out for that, you know, with all of the heat and system of the road oil that comes up and with line rain especially for sunrise. there could be slippery spots. tomorrow more rain and principally moderate rains perhaps down to southern parts of maryland. can't even rule out a thunderstorm, but i think it will be primarily rain. temperatures only in the 70s delightful day, the way i see it right now for friday, with nice low humidity. and that heed builds as we get into the weekend. looks like right now it will be oppressive humidity. temperatures low to mid 90s. back to you. coming up on it, why so many travelers are running late. they're trying something a little bit different.he

the program is concerning some local charities. derrick ward has our report. >> reporter: these cars are likely bound for the crusher. they're clunkers, worth more to their last owners now with the car's program with the $4500 payment than they were when they were on the road. these cars would be considered clunkers, too, under the current program but a different fate awaits them. maybe this car has passed its aesthetic prime but it's what's under the hood that counts and this car still has life in it. one person's clunker could be another's salvation. >> they could be donated go the

charity like ours and they could be made available to folks who need an affordable car. he used to sell avantis. now the deals he makes may not rake in the same amount of money but they serve more of a problem. >> we get calls from businesses who say i could get a job or hire this person if they had transperation because the job jobs tend to be home health care or cleaning or things like that that require people to move around. construction. >> reporter: tom does much of the work on the cars. a vehicle like this minivan which could have ended up crushed will end up cruising for a needy person. >> it's running real well so i would say another three or four

years out of it. >> they think the cash for clunkers legislation is a good idea but like an older engine it needs a little fine-tuning and he sees an upcoming appropriation from congress as a fine time for a pit stop. >> the senate is saying this week, a and they say they're going to make a decision by friday. i'm hoping they wake up a change it. >> reporter: derrick ward, "news 4." climate experts are not impressed with what the cash for clunkers program could do. they a calculated how much carbon dioxide emissions would be cut if a quarter million would be taken off the road the effect wld be shutting off every car, factory and power plant for one hour. while they say that's only a drop in the bucket, they say it's a good start. more emission could be cut if congress decides to continue funding the wildly popular program. the nation's airports became a huge waiting room in june as

the airports' delays were the worst since december. the combined on-time arrival rate for all airlines was just 76%. the delta subsidiary comair had the worst. weather was the most frequent reason for it. searching for airlines on facebook is now a reality. it's add add fair finder called travel bag. users can search for the airlines' lowest fair fares without navigating away. it allow them to save trip searches and share results with friends on facebook that you never know what you're going to hear when you sit down with clinton portis but dan is our bre man with a story for us out of redskins park. hi ya, dan. >> i got a chance to sit down with clinton portis not too long ago. jim, you're absolutely right. he always says what ee on hids

mind. he's the heart beat. last season he chastised his coach mocking him on the radio. this season he's trying to become the 24th player to go over 10,000 rushing yards for his career, but for some reason some still criticize cp for being selfish and over the hill and the guy's not even 28 yet. >> you know that. that's people. for myself i'm in a great position in my mind frame. i gave up on the hoopla and trying to prove they e-maat i'm deserving of the credit and i deserve what i get. you kn, the numbers speak for themselves. i'm 28 and i'm about to join an elite group, praying that all goes well. all the critics and everybody, you can never take that away from me. i don't think it's hard back in the game when it comes to the

grind or the blocking or during it. think when i'm on the field my energy level is better than anybody in the game. that's the way i always am. when i can't do it no more, i walk away. >> i think you get motivated when people tell you you can't do it. >> i do. i think they're eating me up. to be able to walk by you, really can't say nothing to me. there's nothing you can say that's going to have me low and down in the dumps. i can tell you to check my paperwork, you know. look at the paperwork, you know. look at my sass, look at my grind, look at everything i plishd at 28, and i'm not even 28 yet. you take the one year away that i got hurt, i'd be over 10,000 yards already. coach zorn, as much as they made about the relationship between the two of you, i'm not going to ask you about that because i

know what you're going the say about that. what i'm going to ask ask you is do you think coach zorn a better coach than he was when he started? >> i do. i think the whole coaching staff is. after being with the team for a year and getting to know the playerses that he has, i think he knows who to depend on, who to put in what situation, and i think he's going to use a lot of his guys better this year. last year was just so much to learn and so much to get used to. i think he was trying to learn on the run. now having a year under his belt, i think he understands more of the players, he understands the strong points of the players. i think he's going to use them much better. >> two-minute drill with clinton portis. funniest teammate. >> fred smoot, hands down. got to be one of the funniest guys in the nfl. >> your first pick in the nfl fantasy draft. >> first pick. tom brady. >> okay. f i like that. coming off an injury too. >> still, tom brady. >> in retirement i will be --

>> at peace. >> if i wasn't an nfl player --. would be a surfer. >> you had the blond hair for a while. if jim zorn wasn't an nfl coach, he'd be --? >> a builder. he built all the little tents. he'd be a great handyman. he would be an architect doing something crazy. >> okay. the teammate i would take into a mixed martial arts battle -- >> that's pretty good. i could see that. >> most prized possession. >> the roses. the roses from burying my grandmother. >> one woman, one island, one day. >> alicia keys, probably in cabo
