all of this whether the two teenagers, one 16 and one 19 were shot headed to a party at the synagogue. >> just a lot of police cars. this area up the road is blocked with yellow tape. >> reporter: one of the victims ran inside the synagogue, but there has been a statement released this morning from the synagogue saying they regret this incident happened and they have no knowledge or involvement in the shooting. but the synagogue says it is now changing its policy no longer permitting outside groups to rent space inside its facility. there was a party going on. neighbors tell me it was a hip-hop party at the synagogue those two teenagers were headed to is synagogue. they were shot outside in this area. right now there are no suspects.

for electing me. we have unprecedented progress people moving here businesses moving here. that type of progress also sets up some challenges of how we involve more people in that progress. >> one of the first things you're going to have to tackle is the fire department, right sf. >> yes. >> that was a troubled agency under mayor gray. you were endorsed by the firefighters promised national search for the replacement and how is that going? >> we're under way. the first job of mayor is to make sure our cities are safe. i just left a program with chief lanier where we were talking about our police department. our fire and emergency management service is critically important to the district too. as we grow our needs changes, more restaurants, more people in places where they didn't leave means the fire department has to adapt and change as well. we're going to do a robust search just like we've hired a great administrator and chief lanier and kaya henderson are on

board with us. we'll make sure we have a great head of our fire and ems department as well. >> any names you're talking about right now? >> we have a robust search. >> chief lanier you endorsed her even before you became the official mayor. you said you would stay with her. >> absolutely. >> you're pleased with the job the police chief is doing. >> it was important after i won the primary to send a signal to all the cities around the country that you can't have our chief. that's what i did. it's my job as mayor to never be satisfied and always making sure we're looking at our department and policing tactics to continue to make d.c. safer. any amount of violent crime on our streets is too much and we want to make sure that our young people and women and men in their homes are safe. i think that's the next frontier in policing. >> i'm a transportation guy. you've been on the metro board and been heavy involved in

transportation. what do you want to see transportation-wise in the city. the street cars is obviously something we're working toward. we've seen a movement away from cars in d.c. and more on bikes and metro and transit and those kind of things. are you going to continue on those modes? >> we have to. we know if 150,000 more people move into our city 6 million more people in the region in the next 25 years, everybody can't drive. so we have to have a system that's balanced. so we can do better with cars and parking, too. i talked in my speech yesterday about how we have to pave our roads and sank niz our lights and make sure our parking policies make sense. our metro system is really the engine of this region. we have to make sure that system has the money it needs to continue. we'll right size and get streetcar right. we've invested a lot of money in the streetcar system and it's one of the many things we have to do with public transit in d.c. i think our future is in the

bus. >> you want to expand the streetcar? this first line here obviously is just a couple miles. >> i don't think expand is the right word. i like the word right size. we have a billion dollar plan on the table. we have figure out how to get it right first, find out what lessons we need to take to other parts of the city. we shouldn't let it dominate our public transit conversation. we can get the buses going quicker. we can get priority treatment as i know you've covered on some of our major corridors. we can do a better job at letting people know when they arrive that they have covered and protected shelter when they get to the stop. the bottom line is to grow all parts of our transportation system have to be more efficient. >> trying to get in as many questions as i can. i know time is limited with you. the football team here, you've been vocal about trying to bring them back to the city. >> we're a sports town aren't we? i told you we would stay focused on keeping d.c. united right

here in d.c. i'm very proud to say that i moved as a council member to make sure we have d.c. united that we keep our reeves center. i was very active in another important sports conversation about how we win the 2024 olympic games and went out with our team to california to make the final pitch. we all have our fingers crossed for what the games could mean for washington. and i feel also strongly that for our washington football team to win, they have to come home. >> do they have to change their name? >> i they they have to change their name but we'll get to that conversation. >> we can't let you off the hook that easily. >> why not? >> what are you going to do on your first days on the job -- >> my first day was friday. i became mayor at noon. we are just focused on having the right team in place so continuing to hire a great staff, get moved in invite everybody to our new digs at the

wilson building. i've moved my office to the third floor of the building so i can be more connected to my staff and continue to work with the council who will have their first session this week to make sure we're moving the agenda that the residents expect. >> mayor muriel bowser joining us in studio. thank you so much. a wreck really hitting home for one family. find out what made this crash unique. let's check in with chuck. good morning everybody. it rained through the overnight hours. those raindrops are getting ready to move out just in time for one little taste of spring-like warmth before the bottom falls out. stay tuned

dynamic as republicans will control the house and the senate. that means we've got new blood in there. there's going to be new fights and new challenges not only for the congress but as well as president obama. >> one of the busiest guys in all of washington right now is chuck todd who raced over here to the set. we'll give chuck a second to catch his breath. angie, great vamping -- >> don't give away the trade secrets. come on. >> we've got really interesting things coming up. congress the house-led gop congress and whatnot. you're taking a look at that on the show. >> we'll see how it works. you're going to hear them say the first key test is the keystone pipeline. how is the post veto world work? does it set a confrontational tone or is this symbolic republicans need to do this. the president needs to do this

and then they move on. then the next big challenge will be immigration. everybody claims yeah they're all going to work together. we'll see by the end of 2015. >> that was going to be my main question. could 2015 in fact be the year of the veto? >> i don't think it will be. actually there's still a 60-vote filibuster issue in the senate. mitch mcconnell is always going to have to find democrats to vote. i think if the president will know who those eight to ten democrats in any moment that could vote with them i think you're more likely to see anything that gets through the senate and to the president's desk is going to have democratic support on it. so i don't think you'll see as many vetoes as people think. >> you have an awesome local panel on the show today. >> i do. it was one of these things i was realizing, wow, washington, d.c. the mayor, the school's chief and the police chief, all women. how many other american cities

have this? it turns out there's one now, minneapolis, that will end at the end of the month. a new school superintendent and no longer have three women running those three key aspects. here we talk about how will washington change? the city the run by all women. it's an interesting reminder that it's taken a while as women have entered all aspects of political life local level and national level, that you're starting to see this. this is only going to i think increase. you'll see more women governors, see more women presidential candidates not just the one or two that we have. >> all right. all of washington will be
