these are folks coming across the bay bridge, headed to the eastern shore. they are running at speed. we're not seeing two way traffic on the westbound stretch yesterday. that will start when the traffic starts to build. we are seeing people traveling across in the eastern direction on the one eastbound span. looking good so far. this is of course going to be a very, very busy weekend out there on the roads. 1.8 million people are going to be traveling for this long holiday weekend. and many will be taking the bay bridge. if you're going to be crossing the bridge, if you're going to the beaches, the advice here is to leave before 10:00 this morning. if you can't do that, you don't want to sit in traffic, leave after 10:00 tonight. if you're headed out on saturday to the beach, leave before 7:00 a.m. or after 5:00 p.m. and of course, check the news4 app we'll be providing travel updates all weekend long. so hopefully you'll get where you need to go without too much trouble. but right now, everything is looking great at the bridges. we'll keep an eye on it and give you updates throughout the morning. back to you in the studio.

after the death of a 5-month-old baby boy. a woman who told news4 that she is the aunt of a little boy says his name was trequan. we know it was a d.c. fire truck that started to take him to the hospital. the first ambulance dispatched to the scene was seven miles away from the home in southeast. now, d.c. fire officials say paramedics on fire engine 30 got there about four minutes after the call came in. they asked for an ambulance from neighboring prince george's county but after finding out there wasn't one available the firefighters and paramedics drove the baby to the hospital themselves. the child's aunt said the boy had asthma and lived in a hot apartment. >> the house is hot, it's hot in here. >> the closer d.c. ambulance eventually met one the fire engine roughly 15 minutes after the call went out. about halfway to children's hospital. by then the infant was in critical condition. an official cause of death has not been released. this death comes after two

recent high profile incidents involving d.c. fire and ems. a 77-year-old man collapsed across the street from a firehouse. no one inside helped him and he later died. the firefighters on duty were disciplined but the lieutenant in charge was allowed to retire with her full pension. a year earlier this year a 1-year-old boy died from choking on a grape. in that case the closest ambulance was not sent and a fire lieutenant was charged with neglective duty. developing right now in california, police are searching for a gunman who shot three people on a college campus. police say an argument in a parking lot at sacramento city college escalated last night. one person is dead. at least two of the victims are students. police say this is an isolated incident. they haven't found the shooter. classes are scheduled to go on as normal this morning. 6:49 now. police in missouri say an 11-year-old shot and killed a teenager who is trying to break into their house. st. louis police say the

"washington post" reporting democrats and republicans have until today to suggest names for an expert who will help redraw congressional districts. last year a court found the existing boundaries concentrated black voters in one district. the lawmakers have not been able to redraw a map both parties can agree on. we're watching wall street as we wait to see how it will react to the august jobs report. cnbc's landon dowdy is live with that story for your money. good morning. >> hey, eun, good morning to you. well, investors are taking a cautious approach ahead of today's u.s. jobs report.

futures are lower this morning and asian and european markets are also in the red. stocks ended mixed on thursday giving up strong early gains. analysts expect 220,000 jobs were added to the economy last month. although august does tend to be quirky, the job numbers can be inaccurate as many people are on vacation when the government conducts the monthly survey. the unemployment rate is expected to jump to 5.2%. that would be a seven year low. >> all right. >> yeah, thank you, landon. some tough decisions for the redskins. they have to cut the roster to 53 by tomorrow. the young players had their last chance to prove themselves last night in the final preseason game. it was a 17-16 loss to the jaguars, but head coach jay gruden says players including ross who caught the fourth touchdown of the season are making the job hard. >> see how it turns out. >> we hope we win games.
