good morning, everyone. i'm barbara harrison. it's friday, august 24th, 2012. we're following breaking news out of new york right now. we have live video to show you from the empire state building. there it is. at least two people are dead after a shooting outside that building from around 9:00 a.m. this morning from when it started. one of the victims is a gunman. police say as many as ten people were injured, but unclear how many of them were hit by bullets. this is not a terrorist threat. let us repeat that. not a terrorist threat. the shooters started firing indiscriminately at people

outside the building. our sister station in new york wnbc says it was a workplace argument that spill under to the street. we'll continue to follow this breaking news story throughout the morning. d.c. police are investigating a bank break-in that may be part of a larger crime spree. someone broke into the a & t bank this morning. news 4 megan mcgrath is live at the bank in georgetown with more on the investigation. megan? >> well, barbara, you could see the bank over my shoulder here on wisconsin avenue in the heart of georgetown. the fbi still here on the scene investigating what happened here early this morning. now, there are three attempted bank robberies that hapened in the last year, two of them very recently. they have striking similarities. the would-be robber cut through the wall of a building next door to gain access into the bank and in two of the incidents, he wore

a very unusual outfit. he was actually wearing a white, full-length tivek jump suit. the fbi is trying to figure out whether the same man is responsible for all three crimes. investigators focus on the vacant building next door to the m&t bank. with the door open, you can see the hole that the would-be robber cut through the brick wall. he accessed the bank's atm room, but that's when the alarm went off and the suspect ran away without any money. >> it sounds like something out of a mystery novel or something like that. >> the whole thing was caught by the bank's security camera. the would-be robber is seen entering wearing a white tyvek jump suit, it is an unusual get up, but police have seen it before. just last friday, someone broke into the bank of america in woodley park. that suspect was also wearing a suit, gloves and a mask and he cut through the wall of an adjacent building to make entry. then there's the incident at that same bank of america a year

ago. once again, the would-be robber cut through the wall, but he ran away without getting any money. >> so he didn't get anything? no, he's wasting his time now. he needs to come up with a new plan. >> and as you can see, the police investigators, they have some pretty good pictures of the suspect here from those surveillance cameras inside of the banks. they're hoping that someone will recognize the person in those pictures and call and give them the break that they need. reporting live in georgetown, megan mcgrath, news 4. >> thank you, megan. new this morning, police are investigating what caused a truck to hit a house in northwest d.c. it happened around 8:00 this morning on the 3300 block of p. street. the driver of a pickup truck lost control and ran into the steps of a row home. no injuries have been reported and no one was inside the home at the time. well, in just about three hours, the man accused of shooting a security guard at the family research council is due

in court. a grand jury indicted 28-year-old floyd corkins for last week's shooting. the conservative group recently supported the president of chic-fil-a, who staunchly opposes same-sex marriage. in addition to a weapon and ammunition, police say corkin also had 15 chic-fil-a sandwiches with him. well, a man is fighting for his life after being shot in the head in northeast washington. it happened just after 10:00 last night on the 1000 block of rhode island avenue, that's not far from the rhode island metro station. police arrived to find the man unconscious and he was taken to a local hospital in grave condition. rhode island avenue was also shut down for several hours while police investigated. so far, no word on any suspects. three people are recovering right now after an early morning apartment fire in southeast d.c. crews responded around 4:45 this morning to a three-story apartment building in the 1300 block of alabama avenue. they had to use ladders to

rescue people from their balconies. two kids and an a adult were taken to the hospital, but they are all expected to be fine. firefighters say the fire started in a kitchen on the second floor. and right now, tropical storm isaac is beginning to strengthen as it moves towards the u.s. coast. winds are now up to 60 miles per hour and isaac's effects could be felt in florida as soon as sunday. today, there are fears it could cause major damage in haiti. nearly 400,000 haitians still live in tents and temporary shelters from that 2010 deadly earthquake. the fear is that heavy rains could cause flooding and mudslides, which have had deadly impacts in the past. well, isaac's path is shifting slightly west this morning, meaning tampa and the republican national convention may not take a direct hit. but organizers are still preparing for the worst. mitt romney is trying not to let the storm rain on his parade, nbc's clare has more on the preparations.

>> reporter: the curtain will rise for the republican national convention in tampa, florida, monday. rnc organizers say not even the threat of a hurricane will stop mitt romney from being nominated next week. meanwhile, a new cbs/"new york times" poll in florida a key battleground state shows the campaign is getting tighter. president obama's lead has been sliced to just three points. >> obviously, rather be slightly ahead than slightly behind. but too close to call race at this point. >> paul ryan has helped mitt romney narrow the lead. known as a tough, fiscal conservative, he continues pushing for financial balance and avoiding the fiscal cliff under a republican administration. >> mitt romney is saying we'll deal with this right away, prevent this cliff, this massive tax increase, these devastating defense cuts from taking place. >> right away. >> right away yes, right away. >> romney revealed the plan in new mexico yesterday promising energy independence by 2020.

he will achieve this goal with a focus on oil and gas production over alternative forms of energy. >> the wind subsidies will continue for the next ten years. but i do believe that at some point an industry has to stand on its own and be competitive. >> reporter: the white house was quick to slam back that romney's plan would take the country backwards. >> this is a narrow view and a dangerous view, if you think about how important energy security is and production of energy is to our national security interest. >> but romney is touting that his energy plan will create 3 million new jobs. he'll talk more about that and the economy when he teams up, again, with ryan on the campaign trail heading into the weekend. they will be in michigan later this morning and in ohio on saturday. nbc news, washington. and don't forget, we'll have complete coverage of the republican national convention, aaron gilchrist from tampa,

hurricane before making landfall. it looks like somewhere along the florida panhandle or mobile, alabama. looks like that may be by perhaps late on tuesday by that time. but passing to the west of tampa, which, though, still is in the cone of possibility. it still could track a little farther east and affect tampa during the day on monday. i'll be back with our local forecast in just a minute. barbara? >> all right, tom, we'll see you in just a few minutes. danella sealock watching the traffic. >> good morning, barbara. here's the situation in bethesda massachusetts avenue at crumbwell drive have an accident involving a struck cyclist in that area and massachusetts avenue in both directions. everyone is looking to go i-95 southbound right now, you're slow. as you make your way past route 1 23 and continue, it is a slow trip for you. once you get right about dell city, things look a lot better. barbara, back over to you.

the bay waters and farther south in the low 80s and look at what's happening over the last four hours cloud cover coming and going and right now quite cloudy throughout most of maryland and just about all of virginia and much of west virginia, they've got some sunshine and this is going to be the story for the weekend. any rain risk is generally going to be from the blue ridge east to the bay and around the beaches and on the atlantic seaboard. as we go forward, all these areas in color, future showers. don't have any for today. overnight clouding up and this is what it is looking like by midnight tonight. by saturday morning, this is right around dawn saturday morning. a lot of clouds and maybe a few sprinkles on the lower eastern shore and as we get to mid-day saturday and saturday afternoon, by mid to late afternoon, a large area of rain beginning to move in and maybe some thunder and lightning associated with that and highs to around 80. then a few more passing showers saturday night and this is affof sunday by about 3:00 in the

afternoon. scattered showers from the bay and the beaches and all the way west and all the way into the shenandoah valley and this is continuing off and on and into sunday evening and then settle down a bit as we get into monday next week. so, how much rain? we certainly do need it, but a large area here where we could get in this blue zone as much as an inch and a half of rain and further south we could get heavier amounts. fredericksburg down towards richmond, two to three inches of rain possible. this is nothing to do with isaac. this is just a coastal trough of low pressure. for the afternoon partly sunny, rather humid and upper 80s during the next two or three hours and then back down to low 80s by late afternoon and then get into the evening hours and just going to be cloudy tonight. if you have plans on heading out this evening, cloudy and mild, low 80s early evening and then by midnight, down to the low 70s. so, a pleasant summer evening coming up and then saturday morning when you wake up, just some clouds around in the 60s, but as the day progresses, there's about a 60% chance or so

of passing showers from time to time in the morning and then a greater chance we'll get some afternoon showers and thundershowers during the afternoon. highs only in the 70s to around 80 on saturday. and then sunday, well, we might get a little sun breaking out, but, still, a lot of cloudiness and a smaller chance of isolated showers. highs reaching the low and mid-80s and then monday, work and school, as we get going and school is back open for montgomery county and district of columbia. maybe showers and thundershowers on tuesday and by mid-week next week. it does not appear now that we're going to be affected by isaac the way it looks right now. depending on its track, some of the remnants of isaac, a small chance of that making it in our region by late next week. we'll keep an eye on it for you. stay tuned. >> sounds like we'll have a busy week next week. let's check on the midday traffic. danella sealock. >> i-95 southbound hitting the brakes from route 123 and

company there about a year ago and had a confrontation outside with a former co-worker. during that confrontation, he apparently pulled a 45 caliber gun and shot that woman to death there in front of the empire state building. he started to walk away, apparently, and was followed by a construction worker who saw what happened and got the attention of some police officers and those police officers approached mr. johnson, who then, again, pulled that same weapon from a bag and then fired at those police officers. they returned fire, shot and killed jeffrey johnson and somehow in the crossfire, nine other people were injured. the police commissioner of new york saying that they're not certain at this point about whether or not those people were shot by mr. johnson or by nypd police officers. they're still trying to assess that. their injuries are not believed to be life threatening at this point. the woman he got into a confrontation with, a former co-worker also dead in the shooting in midtown manhattan early this morning. barbara?

not know. a major port for the state of washington. also the site of one of the most significant battles and the war of 1812. >> bladensburg was a very important battle because it was the last chance that the americans had to keep the british from coming in and invading the city of washington. unfortunately, their plans fell apart. >> reporter: the british won the battle of bladensburg and marched into washington, d.c., where the government burned buildings. but the defeat would just make the u.s. army that much stronger next time. the army doubled its efforts in baltimore, where two important battles were won and one very important tune was written. >> this tells the story and great lead up to the battle at baltimore in ft. mchenry at north point and the penning of the "star spangled banner."

this detailed incredible history is now captured in this museum located in waterfront park. after two years of research and development by maryland's parks and recreation. the small building packs a lot of lost history. you can find a list of the prince george eons who fought in the world of 1812. learn about the efforts in the war and find out what part other prince george's cities played in the war effort. today was the groundbreaking for the museum. u.s. congressman joined county executive baker for the opening of this space that preserves some of prince george's most fascinating history. >> it gives us a tie to the past and it flushes out the story of the war of 1812. >> now, if you're interested in checking out this museum and i hope that you will, tomorrow they'll have community day from 12:00 until 5:00 p.m. you can come down here and participate in activities for the kids and the family and also have reenact aers here.

warm with a little bit of humidity around now. that's a live view from our nbc 4 hd city camera showing the overcast sky in washington now and this was a picture i took earlier today, this morning, showing cotton ball clouds cruising over the region. you can send your pictures to weather@nbcwashington.com and follow me on twitter and facebook. as we look at what's happening, a cluster of showers and thundershowers over the carolinas starting to creep up our way. they may move our way here tomorrow between now and then. quite a bit of quloudiness. right now in the low to mid-80s around the metro area and later today hitting the upper 80s by mid-afternoon and then tomorrow those clouds around and maybe a passing shower in the morning or afternoon thundershower and during the day on sunday, although a smaller chance sunday. highs near 80 and sunday into the mid-80s and monday looking partly sunny into the 80s and as a front comes in tuesday, could get showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening to be followed by a few clouds around, highs in the 80s. that's the way it looks. i'll be back in a few minutes

with another update, barbara. >> tom, thank you. from that weather report, you can see we don't have any record-breaking temperatures like we had earlier this month, but if that doesn't matter for folks who sweat excessively. the medical diagnosis could be hyperhidrosis. yes, i think as the that's how you say it and can be not only uncomfortable, but very embarrassing for patients interacting with people in the public. am i saying it right? >> hi, barbara, yes, that sounds good. hyperhidrosis. >> what is the difference between that and just somebody who sweat excessively. >> all of us sweat. that helps us control our body temperature and helps prevent hypothermia but some people it's an excessive problem. they sweat when they don't need to control their body temperature. and this then becomes hyperhidrosis. >> i think we've all known people who had that problem and it is embarrassing for them.

especially for, well, if you are going some place and you're sitting there and you have sweat pouring off your head and your arms and what is the solution to it? >> again, 1% to 2% of people have hyperhidrosis. it affects men and women and does seem to run in families. so, it's interesting that there seems to be a familiar tendency. there are a lot of things we can do. first of all, you need to go to the doctor and make sure you don't have a hormone issue, hyperthyroid or pituitary and ruling that out and most people don't have that problem. there are special antipersperants that you can use and medication and anti-anxiety medication that is sometimes helpful. botox is incredibly helpful. botox can solve this problem for about six months. >> for six months? >> six months. >> how is it used to solve the problem? >> you just inject into the area, usualacy it's in the axilla and it could be in the

hands or soles of the feet. >> some people do get sweaty hands and it could be a problem. >> during business deals, you know, a shake of the hand is very important in our society. if you have a sweaty hand, people remember it. >> how much botox do you have to use and people still have the feeling in their hands afterwards. >> again, you start slow and in the axilla, for instance, my nephew was recently married and he has a profuse sweating problem. we gave him botox under his arms before the wedding and didn't have a problem. >> that will last for six months. >> how many shots does that include? one or two shots? >> you do need a fairly, for the armpit area you need 100 units, which is maybe about seven injections on each side, but painless, basically. now, the new news, though, the reason i brought this story up is that the fda just approved a new laser treatment under local anesthesia for sweating glands where you go in and you actually
