lockdown. a picture of the investigation scene happening. what we understand at this point is that a 16-year-old male has been found shot to death off oak wood drive near woodbridge high school, not necessarily on the high school property, although the scene you see here live from chopper 4 is the police that have gathered and it looks like they're in the parking lot at woodbridge high school as they begin this investigation. this is right off old bridge road in the lake ridge area there in woodbridge. as we understand from the school system, the woodbridge high school, as well as lake ridge middle school and old bridge and elementary schools are in a secure the building mode right now because of the police activity. it's a precautionary action. all the students and staff are safe, building entry being restricted now. parents, and this is something to note for parents who may be concerned of what's going on. parents may pick up their children from the school-aged child care programs at an teatum. please do not use -- okay.

so that's what's happening right now as it relates to schools there in the woodbridge area. it was 4:30 this afternoon as we understand when police got reports about a shooting having happened on oak wood drive. not far from woodbridge high school. they came upon the the scene there, as you can see from a photo that one of our viewers tweeted out a little bit ago. police arrived on the scene there, and started investigating. they found that 16-year-old male dead in the area. what we can tell you, there is a little cut-through, if you will, that goes from the neighborhood on oak wood drive to woodbridge high school. and somewhere in that area, on that small tree line, perhaps, but certainly on oak wood drive not far from the high school, that male's body was found here. again, police very early in this investigation trying to piece together exactly what happened. we do know they are looking for three suspects who fled the area in a pickup truck. no really good description of what those suspects looked like. but at this point, that's what prince william county police are telling us. we're going to keep digging into

prince george's county. and gaithersburg to rockville and fairfax, reston, 56 to 50 degrees right now. so tomorrow morning, no issues whatsoever. it's going to be the kind of day where we start cool so you will ne need the long sleeves, maybe a light jacket. and sunglasses will be in order for tomorrow. so veterans day right now, only thing that we're expecting moving our way, no rain whatsoever. just some high clouds during the afternoon. so we start out kind of with a perfect day. and then we start to hit the yellow there. but a-okay for tomorrow and very comfortable by november standards. in fact, it's going to feel a lot like a mid october day. as our temperatures take to the mid 60s by 1:00 in the afternoon, 3:00 in the afternoon will be around 68 to 69 degrees. so starting out cool. getting nice and warm mpt. and in this weekend, thursday

night, friday morning. here we are saturday. sunshine, crisp afternoon. 44 degrees. a very pretty day. we'll pick up more clouds this second half of the weekend. and even a little bit of rain i think late will carry over into monday. here's a look at your storm team four-day forecast from 62 on wednesday to 50 on thursday. 43 degrees for a high temperature on friday. it's a cold weekend coming up, and a cold rain from sunday late into monday. that cold pattern with highs in the 40s likely lasting through a good part of next week. guys? >> thanks, veronica. >> dianna is at the park where the team is getting ready to go back to work. >> a much-needed break for the washington redskins team and a new leader may have emerged. you may be surprised to find out who it is. plus, maryland football may have taken a real big hit. a potential season-ending injury to their top play maker. we'll have the latest.

this is the xfinity sports desk, brought to you by xfinity. your home for the most live sports. dianna is out at the park. this is one of those games hard to look forward to, because you're supposed to be able to beat these guys. just about everybody -- that's a terrible team to look forward

to, because they can jump up and hurt you. >> de matha is always your benchmark for talent. every time we talk about it -- >> like them guys. >> you're probably right. that's the sad part. so, yeah, you know, the redskins are basically in the same boat as tampa bay this weekend. but i have to tell you, i think this break was needed for this team, so much drama last week. they seemed refreshed, they seemed reenergized. and head coach jay gruden took a lot of time to really figure out where this team is right now. >> there's a play here, a play there that we're just so close to being 7-2 as opposed to 3-6. that's the way the nfl is right now. so we have to focus in on crunch time plays, let the big-time players make big-time plays. and not turn the ball over and third downs.

>> all right. so desean jackson and the rest of the team happy to be back on the field today. jackson normally a really soft-spoken player. he told us he stood up in a meeting, today his teammates, they need to rally around robert griffin iii, no matter what they think about the quarterback. and after last week's drama, jackson felt it was time he let his own voice be heard. >> also, me being new to the team, i understand where i've been in the past and things i've been through in my career. and i just feel, you know, it was needed. a certain type of situation needs to be spoken on. >> he doesn't say a whole lot, usually sits with his hood on and, you know, but it's good. he started opening up a little bit and people have a lot of respect for him as a football player and obviously what he does when the lights are on. >> so lack of leadership, a big theme here at redskins park and seems the players are figuring

out that somebody has got to step up. even if it's somebody like desean jackson, who normally isn't in that role. he usually likes to show it on the field. but he told us today his voice needs to be heard and the guys respect him, of course, because of the talent he has on the field. let's bring it down a level and talk maryland football. big game this weekend. face 12th-ranked michigan state. this weekend without stephan diggs, suspended for what he did in the pregame against penn state. well, some more bad news for maryland. they may actually be out without diggs for the rest of the season. a source is telling nbc 4 tonight that he suffered a lacerated kidney on this play right here against penn state. diggs was helped off by trainers, but he did return to the game. maryland's leading receiver this season also missed the terps' final six games last season after breaking his leg. you may remember that. no word yet, though, as to whether diggs will miss any bowl game maryland plays.

so from the field to the ice. capitals getting ready for two divisional home games. the ice not the best place to be the last couple weeks while the team dropped five straight games. today the mood dramatically different. the team working hard, having fun after coming up two huge wins this past weekend. they say their confidence really never wavered. but a couple ws has them feeling good. starting an important week. >> you feel better when you're winning. guys make you feel easier and have more fun. but we have confidence in the group right now. we know that we have a great team here, and if we can stick with it for 60 minutes, we're going to give every single team a run for their money. >> we were frustrated and i thought we were doing a lot of the right things the last couple weeks. but we're getting rewarded and last couple games, made a few

mistakes but still got the win so the attitude is better here and excited to continue. >> i bet de matha couldn't beat de matha. >> winning cures
