man calmed down, said thanks, and left. he has since learned it was james hodgkinson. the next day he turned his rifle on a congressional baseball practice. >> it's a tragedy. i wish there was some way that he had made a threat, then i could have gave a warning. >> reporter: now dobberman is awaiting an fbi interview. residents are awaiting the re-opening of the area, with the ymca baseball and soccer fields and a dog park. businesses inside the crime scene area, very eager to re-open. the owner of swing's coffee roaster said his business was in jeopardy. and alexandria's first responders getting a big pat on the back. police chief mike brown writing, our officers valiantly took the shooter's fire and two of our officers found themselves in a position to return fire in the direction of the shooter. the businesses and residents saying thank you with letters and food donations and this

at the dog park during the gunfire. thank you for saving both of our lives. you are our heroes. >> our officers realize how they touch people's lives when they see something like that. >> reporter: and some good news tonight from alexandria little league. they will be playing ball again on monday night. they have a re-opening ceremony scheduled for around 6:00. the community is invited to come. i'll switch over to kristin wright who has been update on the conditions of those wounded. >> reporter: well, the head of trauma here at medstar washington hospital center says when the congressman got here to the hospital, he was on the verge of death. representative scalise tonight is still in critical condition, but he's doing better. he's not out of the woods, though just yet. he was shot, once in the hip. the bullet crossed his pelvis into the other side of his hip, causing significant damage to his bones, internal organs, and blood ve

serious condition. crystal griner is in good condition. zack barth was released from the hospital soon after the shooting. i should mention, though, today we also heard a statement from the congressman's family, thanking those capital police officers for the bravery during that shooting. and the head of trauma here at the hospital saying he does believe representative scalise will make a full recovery. back to you. >> kristin wright, thank you. in montgomery county, two honor roll students killed in a hail of gunfire on the eve of their high school graduation, and tonight, police are closing in on a motive. here's what we know. at least 30 shell casings were collected from the scene earlier this month. police believe there's more than one gunman. and tonight, they're making a plea for information to help solve this case. news4's chris gordon has reaction from the victims'

there were at least two shooters and they believe that someone at northwest high school in germantown knows something about these shootings. >> reporter: police say the two teenagers were targeted. investigators found 30 shell casings at the murder scene in montgomery village. they believe there were multiple shooters and multiple caliber weapons used in a very violent act. >> we do believe that the suspects and the victims knew each other. and more importantly, we believe there are people out there that have not come forward yet and have not given us information that they know about this case. >> reporter: 17-year-old shadi najjar, and 18-year-old artem ziberov, were killed the night before they were to graduate from northwest high school. i spoke with artem's father as he was leaving to meet with detectives. have any of their fen

evening, who they were meeting with? >> no. >> reporter: police are investigating a report that shadi owed someone money and that a debt collector stopped by his house, but was chased off by shadi's father armed with a shotgun. shadi's father said she hashe h shotgun, but didn't run anybody off. he said the back door to the house was found partially open. >> my wife heard some noise in the back door. it was about 2:00 in the morning and she said the door was open, the back door. but we didn't -- i mean, i didn't see that. we didn't see nobody. >> reporter: shadi's father today put up his own money to double the reward being offered for information leading to an arrest in this case. it's now up to $20,000. doreen? >> thank you, chris. some breaking news now. a u.s. navy ship is taking on water, after gti

the open water near japan. this video from japan public broadcasting, shows the damage to the us fitzgerald. a u.s. defense official describes the damage as significant. the navy asked for help from the japanese coast guard. tonight the president's lawyer is downplaying a tweet that seemed to confirm mr. trump is under investigation for possibly instructing justice. the president's focus today was on an island 90 miles from the united states. edward lawrence is tracking it all from the white house this evening. edward? >> reporter: leon, good evening. the president is here now at the white house. he's back from his trip. as the news of his new policy is settling in. it's interesting to say it's not a complete reversal from president obama's policy, but the president said that his new policies are designed to isolate the cuban regime. >> reporter: president trump in

announcing a reversal of many of president obama's open-door policies towards cuba. >> effective immediately, i am cancelling the last administration's completely one-sided deal with cuba. >> reporter: he signed an order that once again restricts individual travel and seeks to keep tourism dollars out of the hands of the regime. >> we will not be silenced in the face of community oppression any longer. but critics say the decision ignores rapid change and opportunities following the death of castro. >> china and russia will be happy to come in and say, you can't trust the united states, trust us. and then we'll have china and russia sitting on our doorstep. >> reporter: the major policy announcement was overshadowed by a tweet, the president seeming to confirm he's now personally under the microscope in the russia investigation, tweeting, i am being investigated for firing the fbi director by the man who told me to fire

director. witch-hunt. that's an apparent reference to deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. >> he's just digging himself deeper in a hole. he seems to be trying to get rosenstein to resign. >> reporter: the president's personal attorney says the president wasn't confirming he's under investigation. but expressing his frustration with the leaks to the media. >> reporte >> that was edward lawrence reporting. now an update after a high profile arrest at the trump hotel here. tonight we're seeing the facebook post that led to brian moles being arrested again. the post shows newspaper headlines about the shooting at the ballpark in alexandria. they show he came back to washington, d.c., which violates the condition of his release. he was arrested last month after police found guns in his car at the trump hotel. now the pennsylvania doctor must stay behind bars until his next court appearance later this month. targeting the most vulnerable in a place they go to

tonight, news surveillance video as local police reveal how the crimes unfolded. >> chances are, you've seen the video. but do you know how police tracked down the people who were throwing punches near the turkish embassy in d.c. the technology that landed a virginia man in jail for this. and nbc's chuck todd joins us next as we break down the we's big politicalek

president trump fired off four new tweets this morning, and this one in particular getting a lot of attention. >> that's right. he wrote that he is being investigated for firing the fbi director by the man who told him to fire the fbi director, witch-hunt. >> chuck todd, moderator of "meet the press." the president's tweet as we've reported, an apparent reference to rod rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, who put out his own very strange statement. we got all these sub plots going, when the only thing we -- that we're trying to do is investigate how russia may have interfered in our election. >> and this is the part where i think the president's behavior actually ends up creating -- taking time and effort away from that. to some, that in itself is circumstantial evidence of obstruction, not

a version of it. like, wait a minute. and in fact, the more he complains about comey, we're not focused on the core issue at hand, which is a, what did russia do, b, did any americans help, and if so, were they connected to a campaign. that's at the core of the investigation. what he's doing here, he's putting rosenstein in a very awkward position. it may be that he has to recuse himself because he was in the room discussing comey's fate the day before it happened. and anybody that touched that could end up being a witness in this with the special counsel. nobody's confirmed that the president is under investigation for this. it would be surprising if he wasn't. >> it's been reported. >> but it was odd that the president confirmed it and his legal team, said no, we haven't been informed. that's a whole other story. but it puts him in a more awkward position. and if the president wants to fire mueller, he has to m

rosenstein rosenstein do it. >> which would be illegal. >> pete williams explains it, rosenstein is extraordinarily upset with leaks, he thinks some of them have been misleading, including some of his own actions. he insists -- people insist he did this on his own volition, that it was not an ask of the white house. but if you're looking for what story was he referring to when he put the statement out, "the washington post" had a story last night that jared kushner, the president's son-in-law, that the investigation expanded into his finances. at one point, according to officials on this, after he put that statement out that said, we don't even know if they're referring to this government officials or other government officials, "the washington post" changed their story to say "u.s. officials". so it may be in reference to that, but there's been no confirmation to th

> >> we're seeing people lawyering up. it's hard to say, it's 5:00 in the evening. but mike pence has gotten his own lawyer, and there's a number of questions about the people who are getting their own lawyers and now with pence, there's a question about whether or not he can use his campaign funds to pay for it. what's this all about? >> well, look, i think you're going to see the next stop on this front, you're going to see some legal defense funds start. i wouldn't be surprised if pence has his own. because frankly, that's cleaner. you're right, campaign money and all this stuff. what is almost standard practice when you have these situations is legal defense funds, i think you'll see that pop up. look, it's possible anybody that the president interacted with on mike flynn and on comey is going to be called as a witness by the special counsel. and anybody that does is going to feel the need for a lawyer. mike pence was somewhat on the periphery. by the way, the president, and we just reported this, it just came through our system. the president has added a new lawyer to his legal team, a

fairly famous lawyer, dajohn do. he wrote the report about peas rose and gambling in baseball. but this is now the single most experienced lawyer of the president, long time, has defended people who have problems in front of the government. so unlike mr. kasowitz who doesn't have a lot of experience dealing with washington problems, john dowd is one of the big guns of washington. >> this is a good, economic boon for the lawyers. a lot of billable hours there. >> but it makes it harder to find legal experts in washington, because they all have conflicts now. >> i want to ask also the shootings in alexandria, such a show of unity in the house right afterward and a ball game last night. is it possible that this could provide some kind of a turning point, at least in the congress? >> i'm actually optimistic about congress as an institution on this front. this really sobered them up. let's think about

there's been eight members of congress in our history that have been shot. two of them have happened in the last six years. in both cases, the immediate gut reaction of everybody was, you know, maybe we do need to tone it down a little bit. and i think that's real. i think yesterday was awkward, frankly. this has impacted us as washingtonians more than the rest of the country, but -- >> it happened here. >> and this is our community. congress, this is our community. republicans and democrats, we really -- and the president was on a hillary clinton rant two hours before the game started. he hasn't helped the situation here. but i think this has sobered up individual members of congress. i think you will see more collegiality. that doesn't mean you'll see comp myself, but personal collegiality may be back. >> it's given comfort to those who haven't been comfortable playing that game.

activist base are going and now they have a permission slip to be who they really want to be. >> i hope you're right, chuck. and we hope you'll join chuck sunday morning at 10:30 right here on nbc4. >> got to work on father's day. >> i'll get off before noon. >> happy father's day. >> thank you, sir. you too. the top democrat on the house intelligence committee is advising president trump to stop lashing out on twitter. in a recent tweet, the president called the russia investigation a witch-hunt led by very bad and conflicted people. that's a reaction to special counsel mueller's investigation expanding to the president and possible obstruction of justice. >> bob mueller is someone who is widely respected on both said of the aisle. if he's doing this to set up a pretext to fire bob mueller, i'm confident that we would have the

independent counsel law and have bob mueller in a way that would be beyond the president's power to fire him. and stop lashing out at people, it's not only unpresidential, but from the point of view of interfering in the investigation, deeply disturbing. >> he went on to add that he believes talk of impeachment is premature and that the focus should be on finding the facts. new reaction from the injured protesters as a local man is charged for this violent brawl outside the turkish ambassador's home in d.c. a $13 billion deal as amazon buys who

we got some weather on the way tonight. so much so that we got two moat rolg rol -- meteorologists on the case. >> this isn't two for the price of one. >> two for the price of three. [ laughter ] >> just letting you know now. we're in weather alert mode, not because we have severe weather moving through. not because it's a major deal. but this will affect your night tonight if you're heading out across the area. >> you want to grab the umbrella, dealing with some showers even in the metro area. we'll take whatever rain we can get. we've been extremely dry this month. >> we have. pretty much all of northern virginia seeing the rain, with

counties. lighter, steadier rain for fauquier and culpeper. becoming moderate. down to the south, we'll zoom and look around fredericksburg, some pretty good storms. making its way to westmoreland county. moving up to the north, in towards parts of southern maryland in the next hour or so. we'll be watching that and watching this area to see if it comes together in this region and moves back across the d.c. metro area. that's why we're in weather alert mode because we're going to be on the wet side tonight. take the umbrella if you're going to be out in about. >> temperature wise, looking pretty good. 8/9:00, those systems kind of coming together around the d.c. metro area and moving on through. still some showers by 11:00, but most of us starting to dry out at that time. tomorrow, starting with cloud cover and maybe some fog. then just some scattered showers, maybe an isolated thunderstorm, but most of tomorrow

of reasonable doubt is, they had testimony from constand read back and her mother. now they're back in the jury room. if pattern holds, we expect them to have dinner soon, but right now, there's no sign of any movement in this jury. and so far, they haven't come back to court to say, we're still deadlocked. so it's really tough to get a gauge on what's going through their minds right now and how close they are to coming even to a unanimous consensus on one of the three counts that he faces. we continue watching and waiting to see what happens here. we'll let you know if anything happens. i'm chris po back to you. new technology being tested at two major airports. how your face could get you through screenings faster and more efficiently. and the new ruling affecting what you can and cannot show when you're sun balebathing on maryland beaches. but first, here's doug. out there now,

going to change the way we buy groceries. what do you think? >> it's a bold move by amazon and their founder. we're talking about a $13.7 billion deal. this is a big deal, because as they acquire whole foods, they're getting about 350 stores across the country. those can serve amazon not only as whole foods stores, which they will remain, according to amazon, but they might become neighborhood distribution centers. and the reason this may matter to you as the shopper is all about the price and the competition with the main rival in the field, and that is walmart. and we were talking with experts today to see how that might affect your pocket book. this is what they had to say. >> a mom at a grocery store should care about this deal because she'll get better selection and a better deal than

prime customer, special stuff out of the store. >> it's exciting for the customer, but it means there might be fewer choices in the market. insta cart a start-up is now being threatened by this major deal. and the more traditional stores bike target, costco, walmart, and kroger, all of their stock falling today on this news, because there's a little bit of investor hesitation about what this means for all the other joyces out there. >> competition -- choices out there. >> competition seems like a good thing to me. our coverage isn't over yet. coming up after news4 at 6:00, a deeper look at how this mammoth deal may impact your buying habits. that's on "nbc nightly news" with lester holt right after this broadcast. >> we're days away from having froot loops delivered by drone, is that right? >> i guess. >> i had frosted flakes and chocolate rice chris pizhi
