closer to us. maybe a passing shower later this morning. in the upper 60s for the area, low 70s in the bay. reagan national at 71 degrees. hour-by-hour temperatures will be soaring in the mid-80s by noontime. upper 80s early afternoon, maybe near record heat today. a look at that as well as perhaps another warm day on sunday. as well as next week, that's coming up in a few minutes. our top story developing, we just found out a man died in a shooting. he was one of four people not germantown. two men and two women were all shot inside a home. this happened on kitchen house way. there's still no word on a suspect, but here's what we do know. there's a $10,000 reward for any information in this case. angie? thank you, david. also in maryland, we don't have details right now, but the sheriff's office says there's activity going on in the

into its georgetown, kentucky, plant. an investment that would not have been made if we didn't win the election. >> factcheck.org says the decision by toyota to invest in the kentucky plant was made before trump became president. >> still seeing the same kind of things that donald trump is saying on the campaign, that we keep pointing out, is not accurate. president trump spoke about his first 100 days with fox news. one of the topics included former national security adviser general michael flynn who is now under investigation by the pentagon for foreign payments following a stern 2014 warning. during that interview, the president put the blame on former president obama. >> last time he resigned you said he acted poorly and now we're seeing that. given the payments for

system that started last month. current employees should expect less take-home pay every week starting with their next paycheck. so this is a growing mystery in wanesburg, virginia, concerning cats and who is going around shaving them. >> what? >> so the city of waynesboro is a small one. somebody knows something, but someone is taking the cats, shaving them and then letting them go. police have been able to return the cats to their owners. but this has happened to seven cats since december. >> that's really bizarre. i mean, i shave my lab in the summer because it is so hot. >> but i don't think cats are shaved. >> no. hopefully they get to the bottom of that. this week hundreds of students are in loudoun county for inspiring stories about overcoming obstacle
