starting when he was 9 years old. >> there was no sense of consequence waiting for them. you know. so why not commit a crime? why not carry a weapon? >> reporter: in an opinion piece in "the washington post," graham says he introduced legislation last week that would set up a commission to make recommendations on how to make it easier to share information between police, courts, and juvenile and social services. >> we need to come up with actual proposals, you know, to make the whole system more track there. or keep these kids in detention until they're 21. >> reporter: graham also says serious substance abuse treatment is needed for juvenile offenders, as well. reporting live from northwest, darcy spencer, news 4. >> all right, darcy, thank you. police leave a person of interest in the murder of a college student from virginia may be in the d.c. area. that shooting happened last weekend at an all-campus party near texas southern university in houston. police say they are looking for keerry mccollum.

i'll show you what we're talking about. there's the storm, just off to the north of charles town. last estimate was about six miles to the north of charles town. the storm is moving off to the east at about 30 miles per hour. so if you live in shepherds town, molar cross records, bakerton, antietam, sharpsburg or brownsville, be on the lookout, this storm is moving in your direction. here's the latest storm track. bolivar about 6:27. harper's ferry 6:28. rosemont, 6:42. this is a storm we're going to have to keep a very careful eye on here over the next little bit. put it into motion, you're going to get a general sense of the movement on this storm to the east now at about 30 miles per hour. so, again, southern washington county here. just to the south of sharpsburg. you folks in burkettsville, over towards cowell and western fredrick county, be on the lookout. also you folks in jefferson county, west virginia, under the most immediate threat at this point in time. just up here to the north of charles town, west virginia. i'll zoom in just a little bit closer so you can get a better

sense of where the current storm is. take the radar off of it for you here. just to the south of shepherds town, over here also moving toward dargen. be on the lookout, you folks, go to the lowest level, interior section, stay away from doors and windows, and abandon mobile homes if you live in that immediate area. a mobile home is not where you want to ride out this kind of thunderstorm. another update in just a couple more minutes. craig? >> we're going to come back to you in a few moments.

to mississippi now, where many are stunned and grieving from yesterday's deadly tornadoes. ten people were killed, dozens more were injured. emergency crews are combing through the rubble now to make sure they have found everyone. now that community in mississippi begins the overwhelming task of cleaning up what the tornadoes have left behind. jay gray now with that story from mississippi. >> reporter: it is the day after in yazoo city. >> that wind was just so furious. i mean, we've got double -- we have double windows on and it broke every one of them. just came through there, and just demolished the front of our house. >> reporter: the damage stretches for miles across at least 16 counties. and evidence of the intensity of the tornado is everywhere. the winds so strong, trees were snapped in half, and their bark stripped away. others literally pulled from the earth. electric lines were tossed to the ground and left in a tangled mess. cars and trucks tattered and

rolled on their sides. most all of this community is now broken and battered. >> it's sa mazing how something really terrible how something like this brings out the best in people. >> reporter: chain saws echo as crews clean and cut away what they can. front leaders finish the demolition job started by the storm. and families search for any signs of how things were before the tornado. their homes and lives now reduced to the few things they can pull from the rubble. >> not much. very little. >> reporter: the violent winds pushed a giant oak tree on thin through richard bennett's home. >> so used to, you know, coming home to this house every day for so many years, and so many memories growing up here. and you know, now even just looking at the inside of the house the way it is, it's, you know, it's hard to picture the way it used to be. >> reporter: but then not much of anything seems the same.

along the wide and deadly path left behind by the storm. it is sure to be a long and very difficult recovery process, especially in the hardest-hit areas like this one where crews now say it could be more than a full month before basic services like water and electricity can be restored. in yazoo city, missy, jay gray, news moor. >> want to get to chuck bell now. the same system from mississippi is bringing that swath of potentially severe storms we're looking at right now. >> the very latest, we're still watching for a tornado warning now into washington county, maryland. the last warning expired officially at 6:15. but this storm has al indications that they're going to have to continue to reissue these tornado warnings over the next little bit. so far they've now dropped it down to a severe thunderstorm warning. but nonetheless, we will take you live in to the panhandle of west virginia, southern washington county in maryland. this is where the most important part of this storm is right now. just up to the northeast of

charles town in west virginia, getting ready to move into far southern parts of washington county in maryland. i'll zoom in on the most dangerous part of this storm here. just to the south of shepherds town, west virginia, up towards bakerton. also once you get right over the potomac river here into potomac vistas in far southern washington county. also pleasantville, southern most washington county. this whole area under here is under the bull's-eye right now. even if this storm is not producing a tornado, it is still capable of producing 60 to 70-mile-per-hour straightline winds. so southern washington county and eventually this is going to be moving into the burkittsville area, as well. and far western part of fredrick county. i'll go ahead and put a storm track on it for you. show you the estimated time of arrival. the storm is going eastbound at a little more than 30 miles per hour. harper's ferry 6:23, brunswick, 6:35. burkittsville now 6:35. middletown, 6:47 if it holds together that long. in and around fredrick,

maryland, 6:50 to 6:55 if this storm holds track over the next little while here. so i'll put it into motion and you can get a sense here of the motion of this storm, moving off to the east now. again, the most dangerous part is just now moving into far southern washington county, and the far northern parts of jefferson county in west virginia. so, again, your tornado safety rules here, lowest level interior room. stay away from doors and windows. the hall closet for a low-level bathroom is a very good place to ride one of these kind of storms out. also, you need to know that you do not want to be in a mobile home. if you live in a mobile home up in that part of the world it is best to get outside and seek shelter in a low-lying area away from the mobile home because mobile homes have a tendency to flip over in high winds. tornado or not this is a very dangerous storm. the rest of the washington area remains under a severe thunderstorm watch. that goes until 11:00. but you can see here on radar, this little cluster here now moving into northern maryland and out of the panhandle of west virginia. that's really about the only game in town at this point. but the atmosphere around

washington remains very, very unstable, indeed. no doubt you went outside today you noticed that we changed air masses completely from yesterday. temperatures are now in the mid 70s around town. but up where the rain is coming down, fredrick, maryland, only 55. martinsburg, only 54 degrees. here's a look at the big view here. notice that bowling ball of spin now moving into western parts of indiana. that is the main area of low pressure which is generated almost 100 reports of tornadoes over the last 72 hours. that area of low pressure is eventually going to be crossing just up to the north of the washington area. during the course of the day tomorrow. this is our future cast model at 8:00 tomorrow night, the center of that storm going basically right along the mason dixon line. so as a result we will have a chance for more showers and potential for thunderstorms tomorrow, as well. but the atmosphere won't be quite as charged up tomorrow as it is today. so, thunderstorms tomorrow are less likely to be severe, compared to the ones that we're dealing with today. quick check of the seven-day

forecast here. 70s again tomorrow with thunderstorms around. 30% chance of showers on tuesday with a high of 65. and drier weather returns on wednesday with a high near 67. thursday, mostly sunny with a high near 70 degrees. and as we head into next weekend, much quieter weather, indeed, is coming back our way. so that is definitely welcome news. again, we'll go back on to live radar here. just to keep you completely updated. southern washington county, you now have a severe thunderstorm warning, southern washington county. let me get the actual timing on that for you. severe thunderstorm warning now. that goes until 7:00. 7:00 southern and central washington county maryland. southern fredrick county, maryland. far northern parts of loudoun county in northern virginia, you folks towards lubbocksville, be on the lookout. probably going to get gusty wind and a couple of quick hits of rain. north central loudoun county, virginia, under the warning until 7:00.

eastern jefferson county west virginia and central berkley county, west virginia. that is all until 7:00. the entire area remains under the watch until 11:00 p.m. this evening. but this is really the only game in town at this point in time. and this is a very severe thunderstorm now, just to the south of sharpsburg, maryland. it is going to be traveling just off to your south and eventually coming up into portions of western fredrick county. burkittsville toward ballanger creek. over towards cross hollow, countryside west, all those are in western and southern parts of fredrick county, maryland. be on the lookout. that storm is coming your way. it dops have a severe history in addition to the high wind threat. you could get some small hail. very frequent lightning, and some blinding rains. so the best thing to do is stay put, and stay inside, southern washington county, south of hagerstown, and also fredrick county, maryland, that storm is coming in your direction. it could be in downtown fredrick here within the next 20 to 25 minutes.

we'll keep you up-to-date as needed. for now, craig, back to you. >> thanks, chuck. a quick

that's looking good. >> they are. good guy out at the ball park. the nationals can meet for their road trip in chicago feeling pretty fine about themselves. with today's win over the dodgers the nats clinched their first winning home stand since last august.

scott olsen struck out eight batters. the nationals hold off the dodgers 1-0. it was screech's fifth birthday today. all of the mascot buddies out there at the park to celebrate. bottom of the first, two on for adam dunn. he fires it to first. he's out. it's important because it drives home a run, morgan coming in to score. it's 1-0 nats. that's all they needed because scott olsen he was on it here in the fourth, he gets garret anderson to check his swing. olsen went seven innings, gave up no runs, struck out eight. top of the ninth, matt capps on to close it out, former nat, ronnie belliard lifts it in to right but check out justin maxwell, the maryland native, the nice diving catch. it's so pretty i've got to show you again. look at that. just like he practices over and over. the nationals hang on to win it 1-0. capps earned its league-leading eighth save. the nationals are 10-9. the capitals are on their way to montreal where they will try to end this thing tomorrow night in

game six, after missing the opportunity to win the series in five games on friday. one of the players is traveling with fewer teeth. enter eric belanger took a hit friday that resulted in the loss of eight teeth. he basically had a root canal between periods and returned to play. i'm going to show you how it happened. but this is graphic so if you're squeamish look away. eric belanger hit in the mouth by bergeron's stick. he crumbled to the ice. belleanger left the ice. he pulled one of his own teeth out. he said it was loose. he knew he was going to have problems right away. they shaved down the exposed roots between periods and he went back out to play. belanger said today he just wanted to make sure not to lose that tooth. >> i didn't want to lose it, because i knew, like i said, i gave it to the trainer and i knew something to do with it. he's going to put it back on, probably, in a week or so.

>> eric belanger. that is dedication. >> you ain't kidding. >> if you get that done, come back out to play, and the capitals have an opportunity to win game six in montreal tomorrow night. meanwhile, in nascar today, it was kevin harvick who won the race. we will have complete highlights coming up at 11:00. >> let's bring in chuck bell one more time. what's the latest on the 1e6 ear weather? >> still severe thunderstorm warning. far southern washington county, maryland. also western and central parts of fredrick county, maryland. you're next. storm is moving to the east at 30 miles per hour. winds in excess of 60 miles per hour. small hail and a
