from a fire engine. what makes this disturbing is these keys allow access to secure areas of the metro rail system, including tunnels. engine 105 seen here in a youtube video was the target of a theft. the engine is based at station 5 on south hayes street and is the closest to the pentagon. sources tell news 4 it was unattended during a medical call in crystal city about 6:30 last wednesday morning when two men removed items from the unlocked vehicle. the keys allow firefighters fast access to secure areas of a metro station including surface hatches and tunnels. metro issued a statement to news 4 that says the theft was immediately reported by arlington county to metro transit police and that appropriate steps have been taken to ensure that system security is not compromised. for safety reasons the keys must

be easily accessible to firefighters but some larger cities use secure box systems like this one that require a code to access them. the arlington county fire department released a statement to news 4 about the theft, it reads, measures have been taken to prevent it from happening in the future. details cannot be released for security reasons. >> now, what makes this theft puzzling and disturbing is that unlike an iphone or an ipad these keys would have no monetary value to a thief. so the motive is unclear at this point. reporting live in arlington, jackie vincent, news 4. >> thanks. a bloody end to the three-day siege of a shopping mall in kenya. the siege ended just after midnight today that's in kenyan time. at least 62 people were killed in the attack. many more were injured. the extremist group al shabaab has then responsible. six attackers were killed. more than six suspects were

even though we're on the cool side, nothing like that. 69 is the high temperature today. that is the coolest high temperature we've seen since may 25th. so very cool across the area today. that was with plenty of sunshine. low this morning, 56. current number though, 57. we're going to be a lot keerl than that 56 when you wake up toll morning. winds out of the north at about seven miles an hour. dew point at 45. what does that tell us? temperatures can still fall down towards that number. that's where they are right now in frederick. 45 degrees. 48, manassas. 50 down towards fredericksburg. you can see many areas already in the mid 40s. you know where we're going from here. storm team 4 radar, nothing to show. no rain. we're not talking about any rain not just any time soon but any time in the near future. we're talking the whole week and possibly even into the weekend. next seven days, not much rain to talk about. with clear skies you know that's not going to happen. with clear skies, too. another reason we will continue to cool. down to 44 in gaithersburg. 49 in frederick.

41 in leesburg. 39 in manassas. chilly numbers. in the morning, the jacket a necessity. effort kids. temperatures, 39-52 degrees. it will be chilly, grab the jacket. as far as sun rise is concerned, sun rise getting closer and closer to that 7:00 hour. so we're looking at even less daylight across the area, too. our days continue to get shorter by one to two minutes a day right now. 72 in gaithersburg. 74, manassas. lots of sunshine tomorrow. even with that cool start we're going to warm up quite nicely. that warm-up will continue, too. still cool at night but nice and warm in the afternoon. this is the kind of fall weather we love around this area. 79 on wednesday and on thursday. temperatures in the upper 70s. friday and saturday, and thinking about going up to 80 degrees as we move into the day on monday. so the next seven days could just be one of the best seven days. i'm not even kidding here. out of the whole year, we need some rain, but so far this next seven days is looking really

good. >> it's going to be cold over night. i think he's going to cave. >> i know he's going to. he had it on last night. >> i really did. i was lying like a rock. we got sports coming up. nats, they got to win them all, right? right? they

i'm terry mcauliffe, candidate for governor, and i sponsored this ad. for 30 years i've worked as an obgyn, my job is to protect the health of women. so i'm particularly offended by ken cuccinelli. cuccinelli wants to make all abortion illegal ... ... even in cases of rape and incest. ... even to protect a woman's health. i want a governor who's focused on schools and creating jobs, not someone who wants to do my job. who's ken cuccinelli to interfere in the lives of women across virginia?

thirm time last year, you remember, too. we were so jacked up. we just couldn't wait, man. and it was all happening. >> i know. i know. >> and now -- >> now -- what happened? >> we're all here. >> what a day in this town, in

this sports world. this is when you -- >> t not going well. >> you reflect and look back at july and the nats games and it feels like the season is so long. 162 games, boom, it's it. time supposed for the nationals. one season after they had the best record in baseball. playoff dreams this season are over. the nats needed a win and some help to stay alive. tonight none of it happened. nats offense getting on the board early. man on for jason worth. 23 home run on this season. and make that 24. two-run blast from worth. nats take a 2-0 lead. bottom four now. on the mound facing shane robertson with two on. he pops one up. looks foul though but drops in fair. david freeze comes around to score. cardinals tie things up at 2-2. they keep things rolling on there. bottom five. carlos beltran at the plate with a man on. hammers one to right.

cardinals take a 4-2 lead. they go on to win it, 4-3, with a loss and wins by both the reds and pirates, the nationals officially eliminated from the playoffs. orioles taking on the rays. this is just awful, guys. check this out. top seven. 4-2. all-star manny at the plate. grounds one to second. this is just difficult to watch. he hits the base awkwardly. goes down immediately. grabs his knee. his manager buck showater comes out. clearly in a lot of pain. teammates in the dugout. blank stares. he is carted off the field. no word yet on the injury. he's set for an mri tomorrow in baltimore. bottom nine now. more problems for the os. now tied at 4-4. james puts an end to that. a solo walkoff home run to left. rays win it, 5-4. os lose their fifth straight. tough day for them. rg3's leading receiver has a

much different opinion than coach shanahan. the head coach thinks his quarterback is 100%. three games and three losses into the season, pierre garcon still believes robert griffin iii isn't healthy. >> i don't think he's 100% but, i mean, he's definitely giving 100% effort. i don't think he's 100%. he will eventually get there. just playing with injuries. everybody is hurt in the nfl. i had to play with an injury last year. i know what he's going through. it's not surprising but it's just something you have to deal with when you're in the league and during the season. >> he does not believe in him just yet. wnba finals. mystics visiting the dream. winner moves on to eastern conference finals. washington started off strong. three of her game 22 points. mystics led by two at the half. the dream take over in the fourth quarter. now up eight. angel comes up with this steal. passed back to arrington who

puts it in a dagger. atlanta wins 80-72 ending the mystics season one game shy of the conference finals. but you have to give this team credit. 11 wins combined the last two seasons. first playoff appearance. good for them. >> that's progress. >> the coach was on, too. >>
