this ditch in shady side. her daughters snapped this photo. they heard an argument. >> it was man and woman and she was saying, you're not my boyfriend. >> reporter: the two women say the police came and went and a while later there were gunshots. >> the next thing i knew, there was a gunshot that went off and then one and then two and then another one. >> reporter: a man and a woman were found shot to death just down the street from where that car got stuck. police are trying to figure out if it's a coincidence or a connection. the victims in the shooting were found lying on the ground. both are adults but it's unclear what their relationship is to each other or the neighborhood. robert joyce's sister lives here. he says there's a lot of unexplained activity on scott road. >> it's a dead end street but a lot of people that come on here don't live down here. >> reporter: and

to search the area. they've been going through the high grass and into the tree line were the bodies were found trying to develop leads. the two victims who were shot to death, we don't know their names. they are trying to notify next of kin and the murderer is still on the loose. back to you in the studio. >> megan, thank you. a lot of questions out there. chopper 4 captured a unique scene in potomac as an suv crashed into someone's home. damage to the house was isolated to the bricks near the garage and, fortunately, we know that no one was hurt. still no word on what caused the crash. it's not clear what could happen if d.c. sniper malvo is tried again. he was never prosecuted for a killing in 2002. he's

life sentences for other shootings during that killing spree. but because a judge ruled he needs to be resentenced, things are getting complicated. it's even possible that prosecutors could now ask for the death penalty. a man was stabbed on the howard university campus this morning. we're trying to find out his condition. d.c. police say someone stabbed the man near the library. all we know is the man was awake and breathing when he was taken to the hospital. national museum of african-american history & culture was the scene of a noose this morning. it's being called a cowardly act. this is how officials are ensuring visitors that the museum is still safe to go. >> reporter:

>> reporter: and what remains unclear at this time is surveillence photos may have caught who did this. back to you. >> justin, thank you. happening today, neighbors in the district have a chance at making their homes a little safer. mayor muriel bowser is launching a new program for those who want security but can't afford it. you either have to rent or own property in the district and receive public assistance from one of five specific programs. mayor bowser was expected to make this announcement yesterday but it was delayed a day. time to get our first look at our weather. sunny skies to talk about, right? >> yes. >> we've seen it be sunny. we all want to know if it's rain-free the rest of the day.

right? maybe not. nbc's bob hansen explains. >> reporter: there's no question, airbags have saved thousands of people on the road when deployed in an accident. it helps protect a driver from hitting the dashboard or, worse, hitting the windshield. but the folks at carfax say some cars may have been repaired using recycled airbag coming from junkyards where they are sold at a discount. but some could be coming from cars on a recall list whose airbags should have been replaced. about 750,000 airbags have to be replaced every year. but how do you know if they are new or recycled? you should ask where the airbag came from and see if this junkyard car was on the recall list. have your mechanic inspect it and determine the source of replacement. insist

made, serviced and sold by the car's original manufacturer. that's especially true with your airbag. you may have to make that demand with your mechanic and insurance company. and finally, if you're buying a used car that you suspect has been in an accident, make sure you check the car's history and get a prepurchase inspection by a mechanic. >> now, in some cases, the mechanic has no idea that the airbag came from a recalled car. that's why you insist on knowing the history of the used or recycled airbag and know where it came from. have you had anything to drink tonight? >> i have not. >> are you sure? >> yes. >> 100%? >> yes. >> have you taken any illegal drugs? >> this is a police officer questioning tiger woods as he was getting arrested for driving under the influence. you also see him failing a field sobriety test. officers say woods was asleep at the wheel when they found him monday morning.
