first. this all happening on alexandria pike in warrenton, virginia. police say they went issue an emergency custody order. when they tried to arrest him, he ran into his house. they were able to determine he had weapons in the home. so they evacuated some of the other homes in the neighborhood just as a precaution. this led to a standoff lasting for several hours. overnight, police say simpson fired at law enforcement officers from the home, fired outside, and then early this morning, he actually stepped out of the home and started firing at police officers. no officers were hurt. but police shot back. they fired back. they shot simpson. he was taken to fairfax with serious injuries there. there still could be road closures in the area as the investigation is still ongoing.

they insist assad must be removed from power for success. a 19-year-old from chicago is in jail for allegedly attempting to travel overseas to join isis. mohammed kahn was arrested at o'hare international airport on saturday. just before he boarded a plane to new jersey. he left a letter for parents explaining his plan to sneak into syria and join isis. richard engel is here with more on the u.s. aide worker being held by isis militants in syria. >> peter kassig, a former soldier who went to syria to help victims of war, converted to islam and changed his name his parents offered a desperate plea for his release. >> we implore those holding you to show mercy and use their power to let you go. >> reporter: but isis is showing

by carrie dann, a political writer for nbc news. good morning. >> good morning. >> why don't you think we've heard from boehner or kevin mccarthy or the republican national committee? >> it was really stunning. you heard from religious groups, but not folks like the rnc, as you mentioned. a big part is the polling on the subject really made the shift over the last few years. the last time the nbc wall street journal poll asked people about the question of whether they shot same-sex marriage should be legal was last spring, and 53% of americans said they thought it should be legal. a lot of republicans are looking to delve into the numbers. people like independents or young people especially don't have a problem with this. if republicans are trying to attract -- >> they are trying to represent

their constituents. >> bob marshall, listen to what he said. . >> the problem is you can't contain this decision to just two guys getting married or two women. the same principle that authorizes this will authorize polygamy. they will authorize child marriage. there is no end to this. >> you think we'll hear more of this towards the presidential election? >> maybe not as strong. but you will hear some opposition to same-sex marriage. republicans are overwhelmingly opposed. 66% are opposed to gay marriage. i think you'll hear that from some people, presidential candidates who want to court, especially religious voters. we heard ted cruz was the loudest voice in opposition to this decision. so i think you will probably hear from some of those conservatives. >> tonight we have the debate between ed gillespie and

mark warner and it will be here at 7:00. >> and for many on kerry and the rest of the nbc news political team, check out first read. what time of day should you see your doctor? coming up, a new study that clues you in. how she managed to get a date with the hunky star. here's a look at what's hot on nbcwashington.com.

doctors are more likely to describe unnecessary antibiotics later in the day. they studied medical records from 23 different offices. they say doctors prescribe antibiotics to 5% more patients in the afternoon than they do in the morning. researchers say it's possible they get worn down as the gay goes on, making it more likely to give in to a patient's request for medication, even if they don't think it's helpful. we have a wonderful story about a little girl's special day. it started when she asked him on a date. >> i was thinking, my mom was like -- do you want sushi? tonight. me and you, okay? >> okay. >> you and me, okay. 10-year-old ann has down syndrome. she loves hockey and he is her

favorite player. he gave her one complete with flowers and a signed jersey. ann and her family also received tickets to the caps preseason game this weekend and a tour of a locker room. she did get to have sushi, which is what she invited him to do in the first place. a family looking for answers after a 9-year-old boy is hit by a stray bullet. coming up, an update on the investigation and the the condition of the boy this morning. looking outside, a few raindrops are falling. more rain is on the way. chuck bell has the latest on the rain and your first look at the seven-day forecast, too. plus, out in space. the work being done right now at the space station. the space station.

in cases of rape and incest, just the space station. like the right-wing republicans in congress. they want to overturn roe v. wade. so does she. "i think roe v. wade should be overturned." barbara comstock even voted with right-wing republicans to require women seeking an abortion to undergo transvaginal ultrasounds. that's all i need to know. i'm john foust and i approve this messge.

right now repair work is going on on the international spaceation. they're removi and installing gear for the large robotic arm outside the space station. the whole mission is expected to take more than six hours. storm team 4 is watching the radar out there. the morning showers have moved out now. storm team 4 meteorologist chuck bell joins us no tell us how it's doing. >> yeah, it's sprinkling. there were random rain drops out

there. that is going to continue here for most of the lunch hour. then i think we'll get a little break, around the time the kids are home from school. another round of showers later this afternoon and into the evening. the overall weather impact on your tuesday. still very low. we're not expecting severe weather or heavy rain. nothing major out there for today. you get a little light rain, you may want to slow down. just a little bit of rain on them, that's when they're the the most slippery. for now, full cloud cover in washington. light rain coming down in places as well. there's a sliver or two of sunshine to be found. 66 is the current temperature at national airport. humidity is not that high kwet. only 59%. so when i show you the radar, i'll mention this again. but a lot of rain drops are evaporating before they reach the ground because the atmosphere is relatively dry to support rain. southwest breeze at 9 miles per hour. temperatures where we have seen a break or two of sunshine,

temperatures popped up. but where the clouds have been thickest and rain drops are falling, temperatures in the upper 50s to near 60s. so hour by hour, for the remainder of the day, clouly skies. steadier rain after 3:00 or 4:00 and through the evening commute. temperatures briefly up to the low and mid 70s today and back down to the 60s this evening. overall rain intensity, just your regular umbrella. nothing that heavy out there. steadier showers coming in after sunset. here's storm team 4 radar. it looks like a lot of rain. having just been outside, a lot of the rain drops are evaporating before they reach the ground. south of town, i-95, remington, light rain towards charlottesville and farmville.

the steadier, heavier rain is back across eastern kentucky. this is what we're watching. and that is coming in for the evening hours. we could get brief periods of moderate rain as that line of showers comes through this evening. cloudy skies. there's a little chance of a streak of showers here between now and 1:00 or 2:00. then a break in the action through 4:00 or 5:00. after 5:00 or 6:00, another chance for moderate rain showers in here. by overnight, temperatures dropping back to the 50s and low 60s. and then for tomorrow, early morning an eclipse, lunar eclipse first in the morning. we'll have a decent amount of it shall around tomorrow. high temperatures once again back up to the 70s. that will feel nice. seven-day forecast time. 60% chance you're going to need your umbrella again today. temperatures low to mid 70s today. and for tomorrow, a nice day coming up. wake up temperatures in the 50s. that lunar eclipse starts at

5:16 in the morning and ends after 7:15 in the morning. i'm still concerned about rain chances late in the week and lingering on into the weekend as well. friday afternoon into at least saturday morning. and a little break saturday afternoo saturday night and shower chances back sunday and monday. barbara, back to you. >> richard jordan has an update on a story we told you at the the top of the show. let's go to him at the live desk. >> we're getting in new pictures of a stolen school bus. it's a public county school bus. it was missing this morning. turned up in davidsonville. just off governor's bridge road and strawberry run. it has front end damage. the back window is also busted. this is bus number 874. no kids were on it when it went missing. police say they are looking for two people here. trying to find out who took the bus from them this morning. police expected to release more information throughout the day. >> all right, richard.

the family of a 9-year-old boy hit by a stray bullet said the violence needs to end. the boy is in grave condition this morning. the shooting happened on friday at the mayfair mansion complex by a playground in northeast d.c. the boy was hit in the head. his injury was so severe. officers drove him to this the hospital rather than wait for an ambulance. news 4 spoke to the boy's sister, who did not want to be on camera. >> i would just like the community to keep praying for my little brother. and at some point this all needs to end before everybody is doing what i'm doing, what we're doing as a family. >> two adults were hurt in the shooting. police found weapons near the scene. no arrests have been made. chopper 4 was over a close call in silver spring. a fire truck caught fire. crews were responding to a call with a mechanical problem. it was caused when the fire truck filled up with smoke, we

understand. the damage is so bad the truck was out of service. the department says it will bring in another truck from its reserve unit. today, police in arlington are looking for a man who is pretending to be an officer. he pulled a woman over on north quincy street. he then tried to lure her into his car. she did get away, but neighbors say it's troubling. >> it's a concern safety wise that someone is doing that and presumably getting away with it. i hope they catch him soon. >> so far police have not caught the man. they say call them if you're unsure about an officer. skin cancer is a growing problem. coming up, why today's most popular bathing suits are adding to the problem. plus, the grandmother of two missing toddlers in montgomery county is speaking out. what she thinks should be done to the children's mother who remains in jail unwilling to talk to investigators.

we're hearing from the grandmother of two missing toddlers in montgomery county. she says her daughter, the children's mother, suffers fro paranoid schizophrenia and should be forced to take her medicine. lindsey hoggle wants to find her grand kids. she says catherine doesn't want to speak to her since she was arrested. if lindsey could talk to her daughter, she would tell her to take her medicine and ask where she took sarah and jacob. >> there were beginning subtle

signs that something was going on. not sure this would be anything you would predict. >> she says she's considering seeking guardianship over her daughter. it would allow her to make medical decisions for her. go to our website and search changing minds to find mental health resources. words like tweet and like and post and link and share and discuss. these are all words of engagement. imagine a day when everyone engages with the news. that's the goal of national news engagement day. >> that's nightly news anchor brian williams encouraging everyone to be engaged. as he said, it's national news engagement day. local professors are joining us to talk about the challenge of getting people to pay attention to events taking police here and around the world.

especially for journalists. teaching journalism around the country. tell us, what is the problem? are people less interested in the news these days? >> i think part of it is they are bombarded with information. this environment created an atmosphere where you have several platforms to receive the information. i hope they push more and say actually engage and seek to be informed. to understand what you're encountering daily. >> since they're carrying around little news source in their hand with their iphones or whatever they're using. they could get the news that they want to. be u they're not interested. is that the problem? >> yeah, they're apparently more interested in other types of information. and there are studies that indicate it's extremely important that young people in college learn to engage at that point. there was a study done and published in a book that tracks graduates who are considered to be adrift. that means they haven't found

their focus or place in life. and one of the five characters is the fact that they are not engaged with the news. >> now this is important to the whole society. can you tell us why it's important? the social norms have changed. you need information in order for you to better function. so what we're trying to do is we are teaching right now in colleges is to get them to realize that they want to sift through. they want to con tech shlize. they want to take advantage of these tools you're talking about. smart phones and social media and yutz it as an opportunity to flesh out an understanding of what they need to know and what they need to be doing. that is what happening if people are watching. you have to give people the news

you need to know. if you don't know what the place is right now, you have know clue you have the cue to make it better. >> i know you're going to celebrate this day with an all campus news day to find out who is aware of it. >> it's a fun competition that looks like jeopardy. but it's not jeopardy. but the students will be given questions. >> right there. they will be teams of two. they get an opportunity to answer it. they will ask for a ten-point question, 30, 50. the 50 will be more difficult. and at the end, we'll choose a winner. >> and are you expecting people to do pretty well on these? >> well, they've been studying. anybody who takes my journalism class gets pa weekly news quiz so they know the drill. actually, i don't think i've allowed anybody from my class --

>> to see the questions. >> or participate. but it should be fun. we want people to realize some news might be bad. but knowing the news can be fun because it's the perfect topic of conversation every single day. >> get people to read the news, gracie. >> yes. and we'll be doing similar things at howard. they'll be using social media to hashtag all day long about how to participate and let people know what you're learning. they're going to look at poverty level for young people. homelessness and how it's affecting young people. so we're going to have range of topics. we'll be on social media all day. #ne #newsengagementday. the rest of us will be on social media trying to do the same things. >> happy news enganlment day.

we hope people are watching and we know they are. we see products like cocoa butter on store shelves all the time. or we have a friend who tells us we ought to try this. coming up, does it work? and the man among the winners of nobel prizes in fairfax. what he helps to invent that we use every day. we'll tell living beyond breast cancer is a lifeline for so many people. it is more than a community. it is a family. there's always a hug. you're friends for life. when i needed guidance, and i needed support, living beyond breast cancer was there. last year, 5-hour energy raised over $340,000 for living beyond breast cancer purchase a specially marked bottle now through december 31st... and a portion of the proceeds will help breast cancer survivors live beyond their diagnosis.

an american scientist is among this year's nobel prize winners. he is from japan but lives in california now. he's a professor at uc santa barbara. he and two other japanese scientists are honored for their invention of l.e.d. lights. the bikini could be to blame for a whopping increase in skin cancer. researchers analyzed several factors over the past 100 years. according to the national cancer institutes. between the 1930s and 1960s, the melanoma rate in the u.s. shot up more than 300% in men and 400% in women. well, today we are taking a look at common skin care products and asking the question, do they really work? and here to help us is dermatologist dr. sheryl

burgess. good morning. >> good morning. >> there are a lot of things you hear for years will work for various years will work. like tea tree oil. what does it do? >> well, tea tree oil is from a plant that grows in australia. a lot of people have heard about it when they travel to australia. now it's very popular in the u.s. so tea tree oil is anti-bacterial. anti-fungal. and you hear it being used for treatment of acne and dermatitis. it is over the counter. you can find it in pharmacies and health food stores. and it is used a lot in lotions and shampoos and massage oils. yeah it's usually between 5% and 10% of the oil, which is actually in the product. so keep in mind that's a very

small concentration. but higher concentrations, some people will get them and they're more of an irritant than therapeutic. >> so might work, might not? >> generally in the lower percentage, it does. >> what about witch hazel? >> it's actually from a bark of a shrub. people use that for acne and stripping the oil off of the skin when people are very oily or produce a lot of oil it helps a lot with itching. you'll hear people bathe of it. >> i haven't heard of it late lit. back when i was a young girl -- >> yeah, you can find that on the shelf as well. >> how about cocoa butter? >> everyone thinks it has

magical powers but it does not. it's actually a vegetable fat. and it's oily. so at room temperature, it's a solid. have you ever seen this? they smell really good. like a hershey cocoa bar. but it's actually a fat. and it's not a type of fat you would eat. the studies were done for stretch marks. it shows no impact on whether you develop them or not. so you attribute that to cocoa butter. >> we'll get another list. thank you so much for getting those three. >> you're welcome. >> thanks a lot. our time is 11:50. coming up, a local police department rallies around an officer fighting crime and cancer. plus chuck bell is back with more on when rain will arrive in
