hurricane just hours from making landfall and it is sure to bring catastrophe to mexico. here is a live look at the radar as patricia pushes past the west coast of mexico. hundreds of thousands have been told to prepare for the worst. >> patricia became the strongest storm in the western hemisphere. sustained winds were measured at 200 miles per hour. it could hit between 6:00 tonight and 10:00 p.m. and puerto vallarta and manzanillo are in the hurricane's cone. veronica johnson will show us how wide that impact could be. a developing story in the search for a missing teenager who took off after being arrested for home invasion in charles county. deputies have just found a body today while looking for stephen coleman. it is too early to say if that person is coleman. he was last seen on october 11th at his home in indianhead. he is one of three teenagers

accused of breaking into a home in white plains and the father scared off the would-be burglars and police say coleman may have a gun. >> at the live desk, we're tracking developments in fairfield, connecticut, where an entire school system was locked down today because of gun and bomb threats. most steernts are now home, but the evening activities have been cancelled and this situation started around 9:00 this morning when police received a call from a man who said he'd kill his girlfriend and he was holding hostages. it turned out to be fake and it was followed by bomb and gun threats and all 17 schools in fairfield, connecticut, had to be shut down. nothing dangerous were found at any of them and police do not believe these calls were linked. at the live desk i'm wendy rieger. it should be a much quicker ride if you're headed toward the bay bridge this afternoon after a nailbiter of a crash.

it left this box truck dangling and the good news is no one was hurt, but as chopper 4 showed us the wreck did result in hours of delays as crews worked to get the car upright and cleared the crash and they had to pull it up before they could tow it away. a man has been charged with attempted murder. he aimed his gun at a prince george's police officer and pulled the trigger. it probably would have killed the officer, but the gun misfired. the suspect ran off and the officer ran after him. the suspect turned around and fired. why the gun didn't go off and what was found in the suspect's car. >> hillary clinton back from a marathon benghazi hearing. she started the day at a democratic women's leadership forum and then the former secretary of state spoke in a

fredericksburg and 73 in warrenton and it will be on the cooler side tomorrow after a cool night tonight so that's what we'll be watching and once again, your headlines tonight. very chilly tonight and you may need the jacket especially if you're doing events tomorrow morning and tracking showers for sunday and if you'll be involved in the marine corps marathon, we are tracking showers for that and then watching patricia. one of the strongest hurricanes ever recorded and we'll talk much more about that and veronica joins you in the next five to ten minutes on how that storm could impact parts of mexico and eventually even our area. wayne simmons, the former cable news commentator has pled not guilty to fraud and other charges. pros koouecutorins say he lied working for the cia. simmons also requested a jury trial. the trial was set for february 23rd. he'll stay in jail for now. >> a big marine corps marathon

vo: does hal parrish share our values? as mayor, parrish cut school funding nearly three million dollars. reading and science scores fell. parrish said no to opening new women's health clinics, denying access to cancer screenings and breast exams. so instead of dealing with the economy and jobs, parrish will join with the richmond extremists to slash education and threaten women's health care. hal parrish -- too extreme for virginia. feinblatt: everytown for gun safety action fund sponsored this ad. who can name the third president? and the largest planet? someone we haven't heard from. anyone else? when comcast offered low-cost high-speed internet to low-income families, more than two million hands went up. and pretty soon, so did everyone's in the classroom. ok, veronica. amphibian excellent! internet essentials from comcast.

helping to bridge the digital divide. we continue to follow a breaking story on the pacific coast of mexico. hurricane patricia, the strongest storm ever measured in the western hemisphere now bearing down on the shoreline. meteorologist veronica johnson joins us now with a look inside this major storm. veronica? >> we have been watching the storm system for days, storm team 4. one of the things that makes this so unusual is how it did

intensify. going from 25 to 200 miles per hour the most intense for the western hemisphere. a very tight storm with a lot of energy right around the center of the storm. 30 miles out, this area along southwest mexico will be getting is a whole lot of rain and a lot of wind, a foot to two feet and that means dangerous flooding for the area and more on the storm as it makes its way on the southwest coast of in echo. its winds will be 200 miles per hour. by 12 miles out it's down to 150 and about 24 hours from now. here is the latest track and it will approach the shore and make its way inland between 8:00 and 10:00 p.m. and right between puerto vallarta and manzanillo. that good are area will not get the brunt of the storm and the ports around manzanillo they could see quite a bit of flooding and off the coast and a

mountainous area and for days to come there could be flooding taking place, even for any structures that are in the area where they can be -- where folkser seeking safety in shelters. after that, i think, the infrastructure will really start to fall apart and it could be days before that area is back up and running. we'll have the impact on this area, meteorologist doug kammerer with what that means for us in just a moment. >> thanks, v.y. >> the world health organization is issuing a warning about the link between cancer and the foods we eat every day. we are two days away for the marine corps marathon and preps are under way at the finish line and coming up on sunday, road closures and still coming up after this break, what

right now at 4:15. we are learning more about the first u.s. combat death in iraq in four years. the american commando killed in action has been identified. defense officials are also revealing new information about the heroic raid and the world health organization is set to release the alarming findings of a new study. researchers claim processed meat like bacon could be just as dangerous as cigarettes when it comes to causing cancer. we'll dive into that study in ten minutes. i can tell you the runners love it. anyone who has to drive around the road closure, not so much. we're talking about the marine corps marathon with news 4's

meagan fitzgerald. you are there in arlington, just how tough is it going to be to get around there sunday morning? >> chris, the short answer is it's going to be difficult, but it's not going to be impossible. what folks need to know is road closures will start sunday morning at 4:00 a.m. and it will go until 1:00 p.m. and that's on a rolling basis and contingent upon how fast folks will finish the race and what's advised is to take metro, but you've got to remember this race is starting in arlington and going into d.c. and into georgetown and over by the mall into -- on to the 14th street bridge and back to arlington and a lot of roads are going to be closed and it's a lot to know and if you head to our nbc washington app and search marathon and you can find all of the road closures and best ways to get around on our site. >> basically avoid that four to five-hour window is probably going to be your best bet.

i know officials had a news conference and they made a big announcement. what happened there? >> reporter: what they told us is the head quarters to the marine corps marathon will be moved to the gaylord hotel at the national harbor. that's different because right now it's different because right now it's near chinatown at the convention center. folks will head out to the gaylord to get their credentials and to participate in the fitness and health expo out there. >> great. great. just how many runners are they expecting to lace them up this year? >> reporter: so what they told us is that 40,000 people have already signed up to participate in this event. it sold out. there are 10,000 people that are going to be running the 10k and 30,000 people that are going to be participating in the marathon itself. this is a big contrast from just 40 years ago when this all started. they told us they had 1500 participants. so the marine corps marathon has

certainly come a long way in the last couple of decades there and we can expect people from all over the u.s. including 59 different countries, chris. >> i know a lot of runners and they keep this one pretty high on their list. thanks a lot, meagan. >> for the first time, arlington's new mobile visitor center will be making an appearance at the marathon. the van just hit the streets last month and it's designed to help visitors at arlington's biggest tourist area and it's been operating four days a week outside of five metro stations. the marine corps marathon will be one of the first big events. >> we'll be there at the event and we'll be there big, with the nbc,giving out information for the runners, not only the runners, the participants and their families, as well. >> the van is expected to help more than 12,000 visitors a year. runners like a very, very particular kind of forecast to have their best run.

so, doug, a lot of people will be paying close attention to what you have to say today. >> what do you think is the perfect weather? >> for me, i love it like around high 50s or so. >> okay. no more than 60 degrees. >> i don't run. i watch. give me sunshine. >> that's what we could have. the 50s we've got for you, chris. i really think the start of this race should be okay. the only thing we're worried about is the chance for shower activity and that's one thing we'll be watching and we'll show it to you as we make our way through the next couple of days and on sunday we will have a front that will move on through and as we zoom on down here you can see the areas along the course and what we'll be seeing is a chance for shower ittist and it will be chilly or cool with temperatures at 54 degrees at 7:00 a.m. and notice the chance for showers. they're going to be off and on. we are not expecting a lot of rain. however, if you're going to be down at the marathon especially if you're a spectator, take the

umbrella. if you'll be running just be prepared for shower activity, as well. 65 by 1:00 and temperaturewise, we're on the good side, right now, no showers at all and beautiful conditions and bright blue skies and look at the color, starting to see a lot of color on these trees that we see here and 70 degrees and plenty of sunshine and winds out of the north at 9 miles per hour. that's ten degrees cooler than it was yesterday, but sunny in mid-october? that's great weather! 72 manassas and 65 in hagerstown and a cooler 64 in frederick, but still very nice. no rain on the radar right now. you don't see it near our region, boston, new york, d.c., no rain, but back toward the west a tremendous amount of rain and parts of dallas has seen upward of four inches of rain and they'll see more than that. texas will get inundated over the next four or five days and from hurricane patricia which will be making its way over the

houston area over the next few days and this is the cold front that's going to come through and it will give us rain on sunday. now low temperatures tonight going to be chilly and the upper 30s in frederick and leesburg and manassas and 47 in d.c. and it will cool fairly rapidly and if you're headed out tonight, take the jacket and highs tonight, cooler and 60s in gaithersburg and 63 degrees toward manassas and it will be on the cool side and all in all, not bad, and your sunday, that's the day we look for showers early and then some clearing during the afternoon and 66, high of only 60 degrees on monday and most areas in the upper 50s and looking good with temperatures around 62 degrees. >> coming back we'll talk much more about hurricane patricia and how it will affect mexico and our area. >> that's a big one out there.

dangerous. >> patricia only formed on wednesday and continued to churn and grow, moving towards the mexican coast. it's expected to make landfall near the tourist resort of puerto vallarta. >> translator: this hurricane will effectively be the most intense hurricane that has existed in this part of the pacific in our country since records began in 1949. >> more than 7 million people will be directly affected when the storm makes landfall later tonight including tourists from the united states. hotels are trying to evacuate guests. >> i'm just worried because -- i mean, if we don't get out of here and we drove into town to get out which is not the direction we wanted to go so if we don't make the flight then we are riding it out here. >> once it makes landfall there will be a substantial surge in flooding at the coast.

>> reporter: forecasters are calling hurricane patricia a historic storm and are advising people to move as far inland as possible. kurt gregory, nbc news. >> and we are continuing our team coverage right here in the storm center, doug. you and i have seen some why is patricia so strong? >> and we have seen powerful storms, but i have never seen a storm with 200 mile an hour sustained winds and one of the reasons why it is so strong, the water is off the coast of mexico near 85 degrees and that is incredible fuel for the storm and that is obviously helped by el nino and in an el nino year you do get waters off the coast of mexico and the last storm close to this was hurricane linda in 1997 and that was also an el nino year and that also increased in intensity extremely quickly. >> when we talk about hurricanes we talk about the wind speed and tell us about the storm surge because there could be just as much damage.

>> let's take a look and show you this as we look at the storm and the one thing you will notice is the very small, compact eye and this is not a huge eye and a very tiny eye. as the eye contracts the winds get stronger and that's why we're dealing with a 200 mile-an-hour hurricane here. 200 miles an hour. i've never seen that before. winds moving to the north at 12 miles per hour. on that track it will move just to the north and west of manzanillo. that's the area of concern. that is a port city there of 100,000 people and they'll see the potential of a 15-foot storm surge and the highest ever recorded in western mexico. notice puerto vallarta. this is good news and they're on the west side of the storm and i want to show you the winds associated with this and if you're on the west side, they're not going to see as much of a storm surge and hurricane-force winds only extend 30 miles out from the center and that's in the red. look as we move in time here, puerto vallarta may see 60-mile an hour winds and at least not

the sustained hurricane-force winds and that's better news here as it moves off and they'll continue to see these winds get out of here by 1:00, and 2:00 in the morning and needless to say this is going to be devastated for parts of mexico and they'll be without power and most likely without water for days, if not weeks. pat? >> all right. thank you, doug. nbc news confirms the latest on the first u.s. combat death in iraq in four years. master sergeant joshua wheeler died yesterday. he was 39. he was from oklahoma. it happened during a delta force commando mission to free prisoners of isis militants. nbc's richard engel has the time line and details about this rescue effort. >> reporter: nbc news has learned new details this morning about the commando raid that rescued about 70 hostages in iraq. u.s. and allied kurdish forces took off in five helicopters heading to an isis prison on the outskirts of the town of hawija.

u.s. officials say the prisoners were about to be executed. mass graves already dug. american forces manned the perimeter. allied kurdish fighters stormed in, but met heavy resistance. then nbc news has learned one wave of americans followed by a second moved in to help, worried their allies or the hostages would be killed, but isis managed to shoot one american commando described by u.s. officials as selfless and heroic and whose actions saved lives. he was the first american to die in combat in iraq in four years, and questions are being raised why are so-called advisers now involved in close combat? >> in that support role they are allowed to defend themselves and also defend partner forces and to protect against the loss of innocent life and that's what played out in this particular operation. >> u.s. troops have been

operating here in iraq for months on an advise and assist mission. now some are wondering whether they will be more frequently on the front lines on the war against isis. richard engel, nbc news, erbil, northern iraq. >> france's president is looking into the deadliest accident in 30 years. a lumber truck igniting an inferno and killing 43 people. at least four others were injured. french lawmakers observed a moment of silence for the victims later in the day. police believe the truck veered into the wrong lane and right into the path of the oncoming bus. a bride gives her father a purity certificate to prove she's a virgin. why she did that and the backlash it's triggered on social media. the cancer was already taking its toll. now a boy is fighting to survive after a chemotherapy

narrator: puerto rico's economy is in a death spiral. to make matters worse, washington has plans to cut another $3 billion from the island's healthcare budget. puerto ricans pay the same medicare taxes, but receive less than half the funding of mainland states, leaving the system on life support. more cuts will push the economy to the edge of disaster and put every puerto rican's care in jeopardy. washington needs to act now to save healthcare for the three and a half million us citizens of puerto rico.
