people are finding themselves in a place where they are resolving a dispute and ending up with a death. >> pinkney was a fixture in the neighborhood, we're told. neighbors calling him friendly, and the kind of neighbor that you would want. beverly has past run-ins with the law including a first-degree murder charge. now a lot of you were talking about this one on social media yesterday when it first broke. well, this morning, we've gotten new details in the deadly shooting near the georgetown waterfront. we've since learned that the victim killed was a teen. his name kennedy javier amaya-olivares. he's 19 from severen, maryland. all of this started before 3:00 start morning. police found the two shot on water street right under the whitehurst freeway. they are still trying to figure out who is behind the shooting. >> 23 poem were arrested. several others in the hospital th m

soda so we were able to survive. >> it took crews an hour and 45 minutes to put out fire, everyone in the rv, by the way, got out and nobody got hurt. >> you know, remains wide open. >> so some drivers had to make the best of this backup by getting a little creative along the roadside. one of nbc's "today" show producers was also stuck on the beltway and then shot some video. look at this. we'll explain some street hockey literally on the highway there. >> obviously while cars were stopped, they decided to figure out some creative ways to pass the ties. chris lawrence posted a video of him and his little ones on his facebook page. >> quickly warming up outside. take a live look outside here. the sun is out. it's work. chuck is looking at the most comfortable times you can get out and maybe eat outside and fire up the grill. >> not a bad idea. >> let's take you out west first for a dangerous situation unfolding. fast moving wildfires. they have forced thousands to evacuate.

the new evidence coming to light that may have uncovered what

the one thing that may keep angie goff up past her bedtime tonight, the new documentary on the history channel. >> i might have puppy eyes. >> might be worth it. >> i know. >> uncovering fascinating new evidence about the disappearance of amelia earhart. >> earhart and her plane vanished in 1937 on her attempt to fly around thewo

crashed and died in the pacific ocean, but now 80 years later take a look at this photograph because they believe that this photograph, which was found buried in the u.s. archives, may be a clue, the key to what happened to earhart. they say that in fact it shows she survived that crash. news 4's tom sherwood shows us what they have uncovered. >> reporter: a constant crowd visits the amelia earhart exhibit of the smithsonian's air and space museum. the famous pioneer aviator disappeared 80 years ago trying to be the first woman to solo fly around the earth. >> this is one of the great mysteries of the 20th century. what happened to amelia earhart. >> curator dorothy dock ran has her own pilot's license and handles unending questions about earhart. >> it's a very popular person disappearing off the face of the earth, literally. >> reporter: now a history channel documentary airing sunday and assisted by nbc, points to new evidence uer

the u.s. archives. the photograph, according to facial imaging tests, appear to show earhart and her navigator fred noonan on a dock next to a japanese ship. the documentary suggests it's the strongest evidence yet that earhart survived her crash and probably later died in japanese custody. >> none of that has been explicitly defined, so this adds another layer. it's another tool in their investigation. >> at air and space, families are drawn to the story. 11-year-old jason carpenter studied her in school. >> when she crashed, that like everyone thought that she died and no one ever knew. >> reporter: and javier orlando said his daughter maya prompted their visit today. >> when we were looking around all the astronauts, she was asking, like, why are they all boys so i wanted to show her that boys can actually do anything that boys can. >> reporter: amelia earhar

you're following me on twitter, if not, on twitter, go @chuckbell4 on twitter and put it out on the nbc washington feed. >> and there's a link that you can use and it will set up an interactive browser, whether it's a smartphone or ipad and actually will let you manipulate the horizon and figure out how much of the ellipse you're going to get to see. again, find me on social media at chuckbell 4 on twitter and take a look at it and it's cool stuff. everybody that i know will take a look at it and even angie goff herself was able to figure this out and it stays a lot. >> moan while, we have a beautiful morning in progress and temperatures are warming quickly out of the 60s and into the 70s and there's a live look over washington. great locking day to be outside and cold front way offshore and we're caught in a northwest flow for the remainder of the day as high pressure builds on in. it pushes i

sea and eventually the winds will come back to the south. and the return of humidity towards the middle parts of the week. temperatures right now are mostly in the mid-70s across the region and 71 in vienna and 74 already in croston. so it's a very nice day to be on the outside. temperatures today and will stay a little bit on the cooler than average side. 86 today and 89 tomorrow with low humidity both today and tomorrow. but, as we get into the middle parts of the week. starting on tuesday. it's going to get hot and 96 and i don't think much of a storm chance on tuesday evening and by wednesday and thursday, still, temperatures in the mid-90s both afternoons and there will be an increasing chance for afternoon thunderstorms starting on wednesday and probably peaking on thursday and friday so it's going to be some very warm weather and we're wondering what next weekend is going to look

and pretty good and a high heat of humidity as we get a break in it and get it back down closer to average and then a slight little chance for a rain shower next sunday but most of next weekend is looking like it's going to be very nice indeed. give you a forecast of the baseball game and the pool and barbecue outlook. all that is coming up in a little bit. >> the fourth of july holiday week was not a good one for senate republicans hoping to pass a health care bill to dismantle the affordable care act. >> over the break senate majority leader mitch mcconnell announced pretty candidly they not get past the 50 votes on his side meaning republicans may need to work with democrats to fix the existing law rather than pass their own gop version. >> that came after another senator jerry moran of kansas sent a bipartisan solution may be the best way forward. >> now with a new republican coming out against the current version of the senate bill, that's mike lee of

would like it to be more conservative, there are now eight gop senators who said they can't vote for the bill and remember mcconnell can only afford to lose two of them. >> better sense of the path forward and the chances of success certainly weren't help by a week off on the reset. >> at 9:22, how about this, a new reason to say cheers in northern virginia. we're going to show you the welcome addition from a father and son team
