there, was shot. you're looking at the scene, very chaotic, a very busy area. we're hearing reports out of canada that the gunman did answer the parliament building and shots were fired inside that building. the prime minister is safe. he has been removed from the area. parliament now on lockdown as the hunt goes on for the gunman. we're hearing the gunman had a large gun, possibly a rifle. people were looking for cover as soon as those shots rang out. several shots, well over a dozen. then you had several good samaritans who rushed to that un rm toed guard, trying to perform cpr on that guard. we're still waiting to get information on that guard, what condition he or she is in. we're waiting on a possible motive here. we're tapped into a canadian news agency who's reporting from the scene. as soon as we learn more, we'll pass it to you. for now, that's the latest from the live desk. >> now to that gas station fire. you're longing at flames at one pump station.

the fire's now out and the store attached to it is open. the fire started at the shell station on washington boulevard in laural. a driver tried to pull off with the gas nuzzle still inside his car. that sparked a fire and charred most of the pump station. rescuers have not said if anyone was hurt. a major intersection is causing traffic tie-ups right now in arlington. washington boulevard and lind street is known as the intersection of doom. live with what police are doing to change your commute. molette, good morning. >> reporter: barbara, good morning. arlington county police tell me this morning that having the traffic cops out here between 7:00 am and 9:00 am helps a whole lot. the people who live and work in this area want bigger safety improvements. it's already a dangerous mix. and add in a rainy morning. and what's now known as the

intersection of doom becomes all too real. >> it does, because they have to wait and sometimes they don't. so i end up sometimes getting hit. >> a busy bike trial nearby sets up a collision course for accidents. >> more than i can count. this is what's scary. completely changed. >> it's always backed up with traffic. sometimes i'll take the bus over the bridge. and sometimes the traffic is all the way, you know, all the way back here just to turn into georgetown. >> now you can see arlington county traffic officers at trouble spots at the intersection of lee highway and north lynn street and where north lynn intersects with wilson. 2 to 3 major construction projects in the area also add to the problem in this very busy area. what do you think about the cops being out here to help make

things safer for you guys? >> i think anyone that would make it safer, do it. >> reporter: officers say their job is to keep the traffic moving and make it safer. their presence encourages commuters to obey the rules of the road. but for some, it's not a permanent fix. >> well, the solution is definitely a bike bridge but nobody's going to pay for that. >> now, just a short while ago, a spoke with the folks working on a long range fix it plan. i can tell you that that bike bridge is at least being studied as part of a major reconfiguration of the area. it's going to focus on separating pedestrians and bikers from vehicle traffic. it's a $5 million plan. the hope is to get started with construction by fall of 2015. live in arlington, back to you in the studio. >> turning to our weather now.

gray, wet out there today. storm team 4 meteorologist chuck bell joins us with the first forecast. any chance we'll see any sun later today? >> the odds of seeing sunshine today are very, very low. not zero. you could still see a sliver just before the sun goes down today. by and large, we're stuck with the clouds and rain for the immediate future anyway. there's a view from our weston town center. rain drops on the lens. the rain will taper back a touch. if you're trying to figure out what you should have on, you should still have some sort of a slicker on, your umbrella and rain boots as well. a deepening area of low pressure off the eastern shore coastline. heaviest rain now down to just south of the richmond area. still moderate rain showers in and around town. heavier rain, i-95, south of fredericksburg, that will gradually be tapering off by later on today. it's going to be a moderate impact on your plans for today. just as soon as the wind starts to die down or the rain starts to die back, the wind will

increase. again, rain slowing down. wind speeding up. barbara, seven-day forecast coming up. >> all right, we'll see you in just a little bit. today is the new ebola czar's first day on the job. news 4's richard jordan is at the live desk with what he's doing today. >> he's over at the white house right now, but we caught up with him as he left for his first day on the job. his home in chevy crahase here, getting into his car. started very eli. he had a meeting with the white house chief of staff. at 3:00, he'll be meeting with the president. they will be discussing efforts to coordinate the government's response to ebola. working with all the agencies involved here. and examining ways to also help out in west africa. which of course is ground zero for ebola. also starting today, some travel restrictions for anyone flying into the u.s. from west africa.

can only enter the u.s. through one of five airports. there will be special screenings, fever checks at these airports. dulles is on the list. and hartsfield-jackson in atlanta. so that policy begins today. and, again, the big point on the agenda for the new ebola czar is that 3:00 meeting with the president. we'll be watching it. we're expecting a news conference about an nbc photographer free from ebola. he is getting out of the hospital today, he's not expected to talk at that news conference. doctors from the hospital will address his care. the photographer contracted ebola while working in liberia. he spent more than two weeks in the hospital's bio containment unit in nebraska. there's program for a dallas nurse in bethesda. doctors at national institutes of health upgraded nina pham's

condition from fair to good. pham is one of two nurses who contracted ebola after treating thomas duncan. duncan is the only person to die from the disease here in the united states. a man from liberia is possibly carrying ebola. he had a fever after arriving at nucle newark, new jersey. for all these stories, you can head to nbcwashington.com and search ebola. come up, the latest on the development of an ebola vaccine. investigators are still looking for evidence where volunteers found human remains in virginia. for the past three days, officers blocked old lynchburg road about a half mile from where officers found the remains on saturday. we expect the medical examiner to release its report this week to determine if those remains are of missing uva student hannah graham. the fairfax teen disappeared more than five weeks ago.

new today, a raise in benefits for social security recipients and disabled veterans. how much of a difference. plus, more information about three girls who investigators say were caught trying to join isis. stay with us.

right now, police are

looking into what caused a car to crash into a pole that fell on a fence in the district. the accident happened just after 8:00 this morning on fifth and cedar street in northwest. that's in the tacoma neighborhood. no one was hurt but the crash caused delays during the morning commute. in less than an hour, singer cyndi lauper will shine a light on homelessness affecting youth across the country. the family and youth services bureau is releasing a new study that looked into young adults and teens in 11 cities, including the district. researchers found on average youth became homeless for the first time at age 15 and they spent nearly two years on the streets. more than 60% were raped, beaten up or robbed. nearly 30% were gay, lesbian or bisexual. remembering a giant in american journal system this morning. ben bradlee, the former executive editor of "the washington post," died at his home in cac. he was 93 years old. he became a household name in

the '70s. he was at the helm when woodward and bernstein covered watergate and brought down nixon. he was portrayed by jason robards in the movie "all the president's men." he says bradlee was always thinking about the big story. >> he was always inspiring people to do something. he didn't care so much about the humdrum of the daily news. it was a spectacular time for thousands of journalist who had been through "the post." >> president released a statement saying with bradlee at the helm, a growing army of reporters at the "post" told stories that needed to be told. stories that helped us understand our world and one another a little better. we all do it, sit in traffic. coming up, how much that wasted time is costing you in money.

plus, a happy family reunion. an american released from north korea returns home. who he's thanking this morning. good morning. the windshield wipers have been on since before the sun even came uphis morning. how much longer will the squeaky squeaky squeaky you're going to have to deal with. you should be ready to break out the wind gear. it's going to be windy. that and the weekend forecast is that and the weekend forecast is all just ahead at 11:30.

have you seen the news about barbara comstock? first, the washington post reported, barbara comstock failed to report eighty-five thousand in income. now, we learn, barbara comstock pushed a client's issues in the virginia legislature and didn't disclose it. barbara comstock shepherded a trio of bills through the legislature and into law, but barbara comstock never officially disclosed that

all the while she was being paid thousands of dollars. no wonder she hid it. right now, an american detained in north korea for six months is back home with his family. jeffrey fowl landed this morning in ohio and reunited with his family on the tarmac. the 56-year-old was arrested for leaving a bible at a nightclub in north korea. his family thanked the state department and the swedish embassy for organizing his release. the family's attorney spoke outside their home. the fbi is now investigating the online history of three teenage girls from colorado detained in germany now. u.s. officials believe the girl ys headed to turkey, possibly to join isis. this morning, secretary of state john kerry said he's thankful for germany's cooperation and returning the teens. nbc's pete williams explains how the girls managed to leave this

country and get so far. >> reporter: the fbi says if the parents of the three girls aged 15, 16 and 17, had not spoken up, the teens probably would not have been stopped, detained over the weekend at the airport in frankfu frankfurt, germany. officials say they believe the girls intended to travel to syria and join us with isis or perhaps another group. >> we're grateful to germany on their cooperation with us on this particular incident of some young folks who were traveling. >> reporter: the somali father reporting them missing. the sheriff office report says he discovered their passports were missing along with $2,000 in cash. alarmed, he called local authorities who notified the fbi. that's when officials discovered the sisters and another girl, the daughter of parents from sudan who also live in denver, left friday on a flight through chicago, then to frankfurt and had tickets to fly on to istanbul in turkey.

notified by american authorities, german airport police stopped them in frankfurt and sent them home. back in colorado, they told a sheriff's deputy they left for family reasons but refused to elaborate. authorities are now checking their e-mails and internet histories to see if others were involved. officials say they're also investigating whether one of the girls struck up a relationship with someone in syria she met online. the prospect that americans would be recruited by the slick propaganda pumped out by isis has been a prime national security worry. >> any time you have even one individual who seeks to join isis, you have the possibility that they will be trained at a high level, radicalized and then possibly returned to conduct an attack in the united states. u.s. officials say they doubt any charges will be filed, but they will keep a close eye on the three girls. also, their names will not be released because they're all under 18 years old. millions of older americans who rely on federal benefits

will be getting more money next year, but it won't be much. just a little while ago, the government announced a 1.7% increase for social security payments. for most people, that's about $20 more per month. disabled veterans and federal retirees will see a similar increase. this is the third year in a row the cost of living adjustment is less than 2%. the countdown is on now. we are now less than two weeks away from the midterm elections. it looks like incumbents could be in trouble. for more on that, we're joined by carrie dan, a writer for nbc's first read. let's look at what we're seeing. two different trends apparently with the senate, compared to the gubernatorial races. tell us about that. >> that's right. we've been talking a lot about the last few months about midterms, through the focus of the united states senate, how many seats will democrats lose, will republicans regain control. there's a really interesting story going on with governors. many of them republican. who are fighting to keep their jobs in places like kansas,

pennsylvania, elsewhere in the country. there are republican governors who are really struggling to hold on to those seats. on november 5th, we may be talking just not about the senate and democrats but how republican incumbents were punished by voters as well. >> governor chris christie was in our area and made a comment about minimum wage. >> chris christie said in larger context about a question about the minimum wage. said he's, quote, tired of hearing about the minimum wage. that's sort of a gift wrap for democrats would were quickly to pick up on that. he was talking about how republicans advocate for more job growth overall, not just a higher minimum wage. it's not something that's dramatically out of step with the mainstream of republicans but the way that he said that quote, i think it's something you're going to keep hearing from democrats who are very eager to paint him as unfeeling towards the poor. >> tell us about this meet the voters bus tour he's going on. where's that and what's it all about? >> our own chuck todd is hitting the road.

the story, you know, polls and pundits and memos from pollsters really aren't telling the whole story. it's a very muddled electorate. it's incumbents. chuck wants to get on the road and talk to voters themselves. he'll be heading to iowa and wisconsin later in the week. next week, he'll be on the road again, talking to people in their own neighborhoods about what they care about this november. >> lots of fun. >> two weeks to wait to see how it all turns out. >> exactly. november 5th. >> thank you so much. for more from the rest of the nbc news political team, check out "first read" on nbcnews.com. a live look. sitting in traffic has been a frustrating part of life. now a new study is shedding a light not just on how much time we've wasted in cars and how much money we're wasting. >> either morning of course i'm here to tell you about all of the traffic problems in our area. we all know those traffic issues

test our patience. they're also impacting our pocketbooks. a new study says between lost productivity and gas, americans wasted $124 billion sitting in traffic last year alone. that's about $1,700 for the average household. things are going to get worst if we don't do something about it. the study predicts households could spend more than $2,000 a year by 2030. so what can we do? researchers suggest connecting real-time traffic data to reroute us and get us to destinations more quickly. of course investing in public transportation and getting people to use it is also at the top of the list. back to you. >> all right, thank you. a local doctor has offered free breast exams. we'll talk to her. plus, how the click of your heels can help you get out of an awkward, even dangerous situation fast. but first, here's a look at what's hot with nbcwashington.com.
