money, implies he has a weapon and then runs. u.s. secret service is investigating a gift card scheme. it targets local marshalls and t.j.maxx stores. in court filings, they say it might have been an inside job. scott macfarlane as the story from our news desk. scott? >> jim, good evening. two men under investigation by the feds. one of them is an employee of the scores. he lives in virginia. but in fact, he's more than just an employee. the feds say he's an internal investigator for the stores. he's the person who's supposed to be stopping gift card fraud. here's one of the stores the secret service says was victimized in new court filings. marsh marshalls in rockville. they say the suspects stole gift card numbers from legitimate du customers and legitimate cards and used that to generate bogus cards.

t.j.maxx and marshalls stores in d.c., olney, and sterling. how did they get the card numbers? federal investigators say one of the primary suspects worked for the stores as internal security. his current duties, they say, include doing internal fraud investigations of tjx employees in northern virginia and west virginia. and that he had accessed internal company gift card databases. and they say the man along with a cohort exchanged text messages about it. in one exchange, the cohort, they say, sent a note indicating he was worried investigators in northern virginia might catch on. the feds say the suspect asked the store employee how hot is nova right now? the internal security employee, they say, replied, i haven't heard anything about them watching. the feds have not yet filed char charges. a spokeswoman for t.j.maxx and marshalls says the employee named in the filings is not a current employee. wouldn't say if he was fired or quit or if the feds were mistaken, just not current. stores ws s weren't the only on

victimized. court records show a recent spike in customer complaints. they were showing up to stores to find out their legitimate gift cards for wiped out of money. >> scott macfarlane, thank you. egypt is accusing foreign governments of withholding potentially critical intelligence of the cause of that russian airliner crash. today, egypt foreign ministry told nbc news his country is unhappy about the lack of intelligence sharing. he appeared to be referring to the u.s. and britain. meanwhile, today, british officials repeated their view that a bomb is the most likely cause of that crash. they said their decision last week to halt british flights in and out of sharm el sheikh was prompted by a review of surveillance footage that showed security problems at the airport. that crash has also raised questions about airport security around the world. and the challenge of keeping u.s. flights safe. every day there are 25,000 domestic flights with more than 1 million checked bags and 2 million passengers.

there are also thousands of airport workers, many of whom have access to secure areas. >> when you give somebody an airport i.d. badge it's like giving someone the key to your house. you've entrusted them now to access your house and get past all the locks and alarm systems you've put into place to keep everybody else out. >> anyone who works at an airport must pass background checks for criminal and terror activity, but most airports don't require all employees to pass through security screening every day. that's because of the sheer volume of workers. a new head of the transportation security administration recently told congress that the current threat environment is the most complex the aviation industry has seen since 9/11. president obama is expected to sign a huge defense bill overwhelmingly passed by the senate today. that bill pays for more than $600 billion in defense policy and spending. but it also contains provisions

that make it difficult for the president to fulfill his campaign promise to close the detention center at guantanamo bay in cuba. mr. obama vetoed a similar spending bill back in october before the white house and congressional leaders reached a budget deal. the president's administration is expected to announce the next steps for guantanamo bay in the next coming weeks. here at the live desk, we're keeping an eye on a small plane that crashed into an apartment building. a news conference just wrapped up. right now we're getting conflicting reports about how many people were on board and how many died. a resident took some amazing video shortly after the plane smashed into an apartment building in ohio. as you can hear the crackling from the fire, it was so intense. the plane's owners say ten people were on board but in a news conference that wrapped up moments ago, officials would not say how many people have died.

we know the jet went down as it was trying to land at a nearby airport and nobody on the ground was hurt. the ntsb is expected to arrive later tonight. we're going to stay on top of this story. here's a look at what's coming up next. >> i'm julie carey in annandale where the family of murder victim, vanessa, is speaking out for the first time since she was killed five years ago and they are showing us these paintings. both part of a tribute to the young woman and a way for this family to heal. >> no more angry. no more sad. montgomery county clears a day from next year's school calendar, september 12th, that happens to coincide with the muslim holiday eid. muslim holiday eid. but what about the futu

sure. walking around downtown, getting ready to take the dog for a walk, you're going to need the jacket. it is quite cool. look at the showers starting to get out of here now. we still shave area of drizzle. the heaviest rain, we'll call it the heaviest, it's light rain for the most steady. frederick, manassas, gaithersburg and northern louden county. we'll continue to see rain throughout the evening. again, some drizzle. some areas of mist, too. the system is slowly, slowly pulling away. but the evening impacts, they're still going to be out there. light rain. 55 degrees. around the 8:00 to 11:00 hour as the rain begins to subside, we're dealing with wet road wais ways. thinking about heading to the grocery store to pick up a last-minute item, it's going to be rather wet. there's clearing down to the south but i wanted to show you another feature, too, a really cool feature. first up, notice the clear skies. that's what we'll see tomorrow. some clouds. clear skies. look at this right here. notice this is likely will be a

first at 6:30 tonight, there's breaking news about the daily fantasy football sites. so many people are playing now. >> let's go straight to the live desk for the news and what it means. guys? >> yeah, basically new york's attorney general, doreen, just determined fan dual and draft kings are illegal gambling sites. cease and desist operations in new york. scott macfarlane has been investigating these sites. what's this mean?

this sounds huge. >> this is the latest issue for the two very popular fantasy sites. they're in the cross hairs in the courts. we found several dozen federal lawsuits filed in recent weeks against fandual or draft kings by disgruntled customers who call the advertising and games misleading. what's more, we found several dozen complaints filed with the federal trade commission by customers against the site. what's more, congress is getting involved. the attorney general of new york makes a statement. the u.s. house of representatives is making one, too. we expect a congressional hearing into the legality of daily fantasy. is it gambling or is it skill? we expect that review in the coming weeks. >> yeah. again, this affects new york. the new york attorney general is telling these sites don't accept any wagers from new york residents. and basically shut down your operations in new york. now, we should say comcast and nbc sports are invested in fandual. fandual, draft kings have been arguing these are games of skill, not chance.

how is that argument breaking down? >> game of skill, making that argument keeps it legal. keeps it from being illegal gambling. that said, when the new york attorney general makes a decision about this, it's especially impactful because think of who's headquartered in new york. the nfl. >> the nfl. >> and all the major media companies that are partnered with draft kis and fandual. this impacts new york customers. symbolically a very large gesture against these two popular sites. >> we'll keep on eye on this. thanks. back to you. >> gentlemen, thanks. a tribute now to a young woman murdered while being a good samaritan. >> vanessa pham was stabbed to death inside her car by a man who approached her in a maryfield, virginia, parking lot five years ago. he asked her for a ride to the hospital. said he needed to get to his sick baby. well, pham let him in and she was killed seconds later. tonight, her family is honoring her memory with an art exhibit called "journey of life." and speaking out for the first time since that tragedy, bureau chief julie carey has that story.

>> reporter: they are among vanessa pham's very first and very last works of art. a color-splashed kindergarten scrawl and a striki drawing of a dancer created while vanessa was in her first year of college. >> my niece, she's gone too young, too fast. she don't have chance to do the exhibition for herself, so i do that for her. >> reporter: this tribute created by artist michelle pham joined her paintings with those of her late niece. >> jubilation. >> reporter: "jubilation" is the title of this painting michelle created in one of their happier times, the day vanessa was accepted to the savannah college of art and design. >> she very happy. that's why i do that picture. >> reporter: a whole series of paintings also recreates the family's darkest hours when the 19-year-old was found stabbed to death in her car off arlington boulevard. michelle had to pass the murder scene every day on the way to work. so michelle gives the murder scene a different view. in many of her abstracts, the

crashed car is erased. >> i just changed the color to make the happy view. i don't want to see the sad place anymore. i like this one. >> reporter: the exhibit also brings happiness to vanessa's mom who never thought she'd see her daughter's artwork displayed. >> i'm so proud of her. when i see those, i feel happy. >> reporter: this painting, though, may best represent the family's continuing struggle with joy and sorrow. it was michelle's final work before the exhibit opened. still wet when they hung it. it's called "brokenhearted." >> after i finished that painting, no more angry, no more sad. we try to go back with a new life, happiest life, even without vanessa. i know that maybe vanessa around here. you know, you never know. >> reporter: in annandale, jewelry carey, news 4. >> it runs through sunday at the annandale campus of northern virginia community college. for more details, head to our

back here by year because, you know, we have limited professional days. >> reporter: the audience today gave the school board a standing ovation. afterwards, there were hugs for those who had worked on this for so long. >> racism was always deep inside me, i could sigh it, feel it right here behind these doors. i have no doubt about that. and i appreciate the change of heart of a couple more members today. >> reporter: for years, muslim parents in montgomery county unsuccessfully asked that school be canceled for the eid holiday. like yom kippur, good friday, and easter. today's action does the next best thing. it gives all students a day off. muslim students can, therefore, celebrate eid with their families. what will it mean to your children? >> joy. >> definitely. great joy. >> my kids are grown, my niece and nephews are grown, so it doesn't impact us but it does

we saw fog about an hour ago. the clouds are much higher. ceilings have risen. less of a chance of fog develops around our region. still the showers in through frederick county, montgomery county. showers. prince william county. down through southern maryland. we're still dealing with showers and areas of drizzle. the areas of drizzle are farther to the north and east as the storm system pulls to the north and east. see what i'm talking about. there it goes right there slowly shifting out of our rege. behind it it's going to get cool overnight. not cold. temperatures by early tomorrow morning, 56 degrees. that's not a bad start. under partly to mostly cloudy skies. i think we will see a mixture of clouds and sun tomorrow. rather breezy. may need the jacket as you step out. not bad. 60 at noon. 64 at 4:00. i really think tomorrow afternoon is looking really, really nice if you're going to be out and about. what to wear. early in the morning, kids may need the jacket. definitely a pants day out there. again, the jacket is something you'll be able to take off by lunchtime. temperatures next couple of days, 64 on wednesday. veterans day looking good. 62 degrees on thursday. take the umbrella to work with

you on thursday. you will need it during the lunch hour. 59 friday. 54 on saturday. then we get quite chilly especially saturday night into sunday. sunday going for overnight low temperatures for most of you into the 30s. could be some frost out there, too, on sunday. if you have sunday morning activities, get ready. going to be a little bit cool. next monday and tuesday, though, looking good. >> thank you, doug. coming up in sports, it's k.d. in d.c. >> i mean, who does he play for? does he play for washington, play for okc? >> reporter: i'm jason pugh at the verizon center. kevin durant is back home for

this is the xfinity sports desk brought to you by xfinity. your home for the most live sports. >> k.d. is in d.c. i must say i agree with him and players on the wizards, too, the fans need to chill out and calm down. >> be cool, everybody. >> calm down. >> be cool. we still have time to recruit him in the offseason. right? that will be the right time. not right now. it got a lot harder to beat him tonight because bradley biel, we just announced he's going to miss tonight's game. the wizards and thunder. k.d. is in d.c. one night only kind of thing. wizards hosting the thunder. first and last matchup of this

regular season. giant spotlight shining on kevin durant, thunder superstar who hails from d.c. durant knows the wizards fans, they're not shy in showing him some love. and they are kind of in your face about it. k.d. acknowledging last time it bordered on being disrespectful to the current wizards. jason pugh has more from the verizon center on the return of k.d. to d.c. campaign. >> reporter: thanks, carol. no matter what kevin durant can't escape the talk of what will happen when he's a free agent especially when he comes here to the nation's capital. although he loves his hometown fans he doesn't necessarily agree about how they've shown that support and a few wizards players agree with him. >> i'm not saying anything wrong with what the fans do but i'm thinking of it as a player on the other side. i wouldn't like it. but, you know, the fans want to do what they want to do. you know, i appreciate all the support. >> i understand that whatever they want, they want to see him

here, but he's playing for okc thunder. we're here, we have our own talented players. i feel like we should have more fan support here. when we played the other day, i was getting booed at the free-throw line. they should represent the team we have here because we have something special. >> who does he play for? washington or okc? asking you, the fans, everybody. that's just kind of -- i mean, it's a difference between, okay, being a fan of a person but when you have 15 guys who are already on one team, how do you think that makes them feel saying we want somebody else on our team? it's not good. >> reporter: so tip off tonight is at 7:00 here at the verizon center. we'll see who wizards fans root for the most. their actual team or the guy they want playing on their team next year. kevin durant. from the verizon center, i'm jason pugh, news 4 sports. >> that game coming up on comcast sportsnet. go ahead. >> i would hope that's not an issue. i would hope that the fans would have the same amount of class that kevin durant has and those two guys had in terms of expressing their feelings.

>> delicate situation. >> don't be booing the wizards. >> no. >> when he's on the free-throw line. did they boo shaq when he was on the free line just because he didn't make all the free throws? >> i wish i was that old to know. all right. thank you, vance's view tonight. redskins news. not good today. kory lichtensteiger is out for the rest of the regular season. the starting center is being played on the short term injured reserve list. which means he could come back as a redskins in the playoffs. lichtensteiger miss the three games with a lingering neck injury. the team signed free agent brian de la puenta. caps in detroit tonight. a reunion with mike green and maybe a historic night for alex ovechkin. one goal away from breaking the nhl record for most scored by a russian-born player. currently held by former teammate sergei fedorov. tonight the same night, fedorov
