a danger to himself or others or not able to handle his affairs because of his mental capacity he is barred from having a firearm. >> reporter: his wife recently filed for divorce and lost his home to foreclosure. that may have been the tipping point. >> he started to get dark on us quiet and withdrawn. >> reporter: he had a troubled past. >> probably a good description would be a time bomb. >> reporter: still authorities say they're no closer to a motive as lafayette remembers its victims and rallies around its wounded. including two people who were shot while managing to pull the fire alarm to warn others. >> it took a lot for them not to think of themselves a and do what they did. they will always be a hero to me. >> gabe gutierrez reporting there. today, you can get a free ride to the airport in honor of the first anniversary of metro's silver line. and that is not the only freebie you can take advantage of today. news4's derrick ward is live at the wiehle-reston station. what have you got? >> reporter: yeah, we're here in

comedic relief. >> that's right. >> so let's segue into weather. >> okay. >> let's talk about the beautiful day. but you have rain in the forecast. >> a little bit. if you're on your segway zipping around town, you need sunblock and extra water early on. you may be facing a bit of a rain threat later this afternoon into early this evening. by and large if you have stuff to do like so many people do, golf, tennis swimming, most of your day will be dry and the rain impact will be fairly low. it's not a sure fire bet you'll get rained on. it's just a possibility. summertime, heating up in the one nation's capital. another 90 degree day came yesterday. that puts our 90 day count at 27. hottest day was a week ago when we made 98 degrees. it is already plenty toasty out there. by 9:00 a.m. in the morning standards. dew points are creeping up closer and closer to the 70

degree mark. 70 degrees is where you start to feel the humidity quite a bit more. 76 now in baltimore. 75 in annapolis and edge water. 75 also manassas and bristow. up into northern maryland, hagerstown mid 70s there. and plenty of warmth out there. hourly temperatures plenty of sunshine out to around noontime. clouds increasing this afternoon and a risk of a couple of showers coming our way. no severe weather, but a rumble or two of thunder couldn't be ruled out. here's the way that future weather handles the possibilities of rain. everyone is dry through at least 1:00 or 2:00. after 2:00 with the peak of the daytime heating we may a bubbling up of showers. you can tell how little coverage area there is of the rain chance today. that's why the rain chances are at 30% and the best chances around town are at 5:00 to 8:00 this morning.

not a guarantee you'll get rained on. it willbe a warm and humid day today. 85 along the western shore of the chesapeake bay in annapolis. 86 in st. mary's county. our best chance for rain this week actually comes up tomorrow. pretty good chance of hit and miss showers around. no severe weather. just a scattering of showers to contend with at almost any point tomorrow. that's our sunshine for now. a little weather front out to our west. that's generating our shower chance later on today. seven-day forecast time, 91 today. 30% chance of an afternoon interruption. tomorrow, hit and miss showers during the day. then we turn sunday and very hot, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, mid 90s. a chance for thunderstorms thursday as we cool down late into the weekend. >> a cooldown would be nice. a new report that's ramping up that search for a lion on the loose in milwaukee. if you're in the back yard

protect you from the pesky things, but many contain chemicals you don't want to spay on yourself or your kids. erika gonzalez has a look at other ways to keep the bugs from biting. >> reporter: like many people roz and joe consider their backyard a summer oasis until the mosquitos took over. >> what we have done is just stick a bottle of some sort of mosquito repellent on the table and i would advise everybody to lather up. >> reporter: not a fan of bug spray, consumer reports looked at candles diffusers and wrist bands. testers filed into an enclosed room meant to simulate a mock picnic table complete with 250 mosquitos. the first line of defense -- an $8.50 off citronella candle and they counted how many landed on the testers. they repeat the test with this portable diffuser which releases

a different plant oil. neither kept the mosquitos away. what about a wrist band? if you're in a cage full of mosquito you don't want to be counting on them either. >> they contain various plant oil. the mosquito started to bite our testers immediately. >> what did work? an ordinary oscillating fan. >> it reduced the number of the mosquito landings by about half. >> reporter: which means there's another tool in the arsenal in the war against mosquitos. erika gonzalez news4. >> now, erika reached out the all the companies reached in the consumer reports test. only one got back to us bug band. they sold thousands and it's shown to be highly effective and nontoxic. another good way to reduce the number of bites is to rid your yard of water filled containers. and clear away ivy and decaying

leaves where they like to hide. don't let the mosquitos stop you from soaking in the sunshine. we could reach the 90s today and chuck bell is talking about rain. coming up, people are planning to protest the funerals of the victims killed in a movie theater shooting. the action that louisiana's governor is taking to protect the players. and chaos at the tour de france. why police officers opened fire in the crowd. we try to answer your questions about interactions with police after that dash cam video showing

>> reporter: we know there are rules of the road, if you break the laws however small -- >> i'm very nervous when i get pulled over. >> reporter: there's always a chance an officer will stop you. >> you fail to signal a lane change -- >> reporter: that's what happened to 28-year-old sandra bland in texas. but for failing to signal a lane change quickly escalated. >> well, i think he could have stepped back. >> reporter: we watched the dash cam video with the president of the fraternal order of police in the metro area. on video the officer asked bland to put out her cigarette. >> would you mind putting out your cigarette, please? >> reporter: she refuses. he asked her to step out of the car. >> i think he's playing the part of let me keep your hands cleared. i don't want to see anything in your hands. looking to be, you know, to protect himself. >> reporter: missofty agrees

that bland had the right to smoke the cigarette but if an officer orders you step out of your car you must comply. we double-checked with the aclu and they agreed. >> she said i'm in my car i can do whatever i want. you're confronting the officer. you're saying you can't tell me what to do. >> reporter: he says interacting with an officer is a two way street. bland could have put out her cigarette and obeying the officer's order. but he also says the officer could have issued the ticket and walked away. >> if it was just a citation he was going to issue her, you then issue the citation and move on. >> that was meagan fitzgerald reporting. if you feel your rights were violated, take down the officer's badge number and then file a complaint with the department. but arguing during a traffic stop usually doesn't end well. well, coming up a scorecard for surgeon. the i-team has new information helping people find the right doctor and the right hospital in our region.

fusions gallbladders and prostate surgeries. we linked through our washington app. you can type in the name of the surgeon or doctor and see how they compare to others working at the same hospital. propublica said the calculations take into account where the doctor works and the surgical staff and did not include the most complicated high risk cases like patients coming from an emergency room or a nursing home. prompting dr. mccrary at johns hopkins to call it a ground breaking website. >> you can have a doctor doing great work or a doctor who doesn't do great work in a great hospital and this analysis factored in the differences. >> reporter: dr. mccrary hopes the website will decrease surgical complications across the board because even the doctors didn't know how they were doing compared to others.
