what happened. >> reporter: an unusual site in this mclean neighborhood, crime scene tape from a forensics truck in the driveway. even more troubling, the reason they are there. police have identified the two women found dead in the home friday afternoon. 23-year-old helen lorena hargan shot and killed her mother, 63-year-old pamela denise hargan. they say helen then turned the gun on herself. >> oh, my god. i cannot believe it. >> reporter: it's a quiet street here and most people had no inkling anything like this was going on. until they got a call from the police, that reverse 911 call. >> then i get that call, saying, don't go out and stay inside. i said, okay, whats this happening? you know, i was just sort of panicking. >> reporter: indeed, that call led to a lot of uneasiness in this neighborhood. then they saw the

a house that neighbors say the family's been in for maybe a year and a half. other neighbors tell us there was nothing indicating anything was amiss, at least not from the outside, nothing that could lead to a murder-suicide. police say a smaller child, believed to be the granddaughter was not in the home when the shootings happened. it's the fact that the shootings happened, that a daughter would kill her mother and then herself. >> i cannot believe it. it just -- unreal to me. how could you do that? >> reporter: derrick ward, news4. a two-day rally for justice wrapping up tonight. hundreds of protesters marching more than 18 miles from virginia into d.c. yesterday. this morning, many of them met up again on pennsylvania avenue. women's march organizers were behind today's vigil and rally in front of the department of justice. they're protesting the nra, and say lawmakers need to separate themselves from the lobbying grou

the people on the hill who are accepting wads of money from the nra and maybe start to get them a conscience. >> demonstrators say they're particularly upset with the nra's silence in the death of philando castile. he was shot by police in a traffic stop in minneapolis. castille was a registered gun owner who told police he had a weapon in the car before he was arrested. -- before he was shot, excuse me. the nra released a video that criticized protests around the country. today's demonstrators were upset at the video, but the nra stands by it and says that it will not take it down. a water spout spotted on the eastern shore today near the bay bridge. storm team4 meteorologist amelia draper joins us to break down what had a lot of people talking on social media and whether

>> certainly, erka. actually, this video and the image captured by one of our own nbc employees this morning, you can see the water spout there. it was located over stevensville, we're about seven miles southeast of gibson island, moving about 20 miles an hour. typically with water spouts like this, they form over water. they have the biggest impact or the most concern to boaters out there on the water. and they very infrequently make it onto land. if they do, they typically fall apart. but it did cause the national weather service to issue a tornado warning this morning. again, certainly something to see this morning, thankfully, it only lasted for ten minutes and absolutely no damage was reported. now in weather, i'm tracking a big return of heat and i'll have more on that at about 6:18. >> we'll see you then. a scary morning for a man and a

lot of you have been following. julius, the baby giraffe has died at the maryland zoo. julius was born a month ago today at the zoo in baltimore. but he had trouble nursing and did not develop a strong immune system. despite efforts to boost his health, his condition deteriorates overnight and zoo officials say they made the decision to humanely euthanize him. a group of d.c. volunteers who sign people up to donate bone marrow call themselves the swab mob. the group's official name is sharing america's marrow. people who want to donate bone marrow has to swap their cheeks. the sample goes into a registry to help with finding matches. the group held a swabbing drive at the hamilton crown plaza in northwest this afternoon. it's something they do every month. for some, it's a way to give back. >> some random person on the registry saved my daughter's life. and that's very impta

deadly autoimmune disease called aplastic anemia. she's doing a lot better since the transplant. and the swab mob have registered over 300 people to help save lives. it was pizza, arts and a creative community in prince george's county. today marks the grand opening between art works now and pizzeria para iso. it combines arts, education, social justice, programming and pizza. art works now has been in mt. rainier since 2011. pizza para deeso has been in business for 25 years, but this is the restaurant's first maryland location and it's pretty tasty stuff, if i might add. next to news4 at 6:00, for months, people in one local community were denied access to their library. today, it finally re-opened. and from the looks of things, the improvements were worth the wait.

>> i'm darcy spencer in northwest, washington, d.c. policeestroy dozens d

you're watching news4 at 6:00. it's demolition day for the d.c. police. they destroyed dozens of all-terrain vehicles and dirt bikes today. darcy spencer is live at police headquarters to tell us why these vehicles were on t

pile. darcy? >> reporter: d.c. police have been making a big push over the last couple of weeks to get these illegal atvs and other bikes off the streets. this is just the latest piece of that strategy. let's go ahead and show you the video that was released a little bit earlier this afternoon by d.c. police. it shows a huge claw picking up an atv. it then puts it into a compactor and then it's smashed. police say they destroyed 62 atvs and other off-road bikes at a facility in prince george's county today. these are bikes that were seized on the street or were confiscated in criminal investigations. they were unregistered or their owner did not come and claim them. police previously released photos of dozens of men who were caught on video riding on the streets and sidewalks in the district, which is illegal. at the time, the chief said this won't be tolerated. >> this behavior

terrorizes our kids, our moms, our dads, our seniors, and it's pathetically, in my opinion, juvenile. >> reporter: now, a lot of people are commenting on this story on social media. the number one question that people have, why are police destroying these atvs and bikes instead of auctioning them off and perhaps getting some money. i just got a response from police. they're saying, number one, they don't have the space to store these. and they also don't want to get into that cycle where they're auctions them off and then they end up back out on the streets. if you want to see that entire video, you can go to the nbc washington app. back to you. >> cool stuff, darcy. thanks so much. who said kids spend all their time on their phones? many of them are just as comfortable with a good book. and dozens spent their day exploring a new library building. the aspen hill branch in montgomery county had been closed for renovation. for six months, they went without a library. today thatai

an end. as you can see, lots of kids wasted no time checking out some new books. >> we've been really excited for it to re-open and see all the new stuff. >> i really like how open and inviting it all seems. i love how modern it is and fancy. >> the old building have asbestos asbestos. and now everything is new. just makes your heart smile they're so excited about reading. somara theodore has the weekend off. we get amelia draper this weekend. great to have you with us. >> it's wonderful to be here. the weather is wonderful as well. >> not so good to be inside. >> but it's making my job easy, to tell you how gorgeous it's going to be. but i am tracking heat and humidity that will return to the forecast mid week, wednesday through the end of the week. it is going to be so hot and so humid. but look at your weather headlines. if you like

tomorrow. gorgeous weather again. plenty of blue skies in the forecast. humidity levels stay in check. monday and tuesday, there are some afternoon and evening thunderstorm chances around. i wouldn't cancel those pool or playground plans just yet. you can download our nbc washington app for the latest forecast. and again, we'll work on more of the timing as monday and tuesday get closer to give you a better idea. but you could see thunderstorms later in the day on monday and tuesday and the heat really starts to build in on wednesday. wait until you see the ten-day forecast. 88 in washington now. we're looking at a really nice evening. here's the big reason. take a look, this is your dew point temperature. we don't often show this, it's easier to say it's muggy. but dew points temperatures at this level are comfortable. fredericksburg and off the river, still feeling a little bit humid, but for m

especially frederick, it's feeling refreshing outdoors. tomorrow, 7:00 a.m., mild but comfortable start. 74 in washington, 60s in the suburbs, perfect for an early morning run. low humidity for the most part throughout the day. a high tomorrow of 90 degrees, very similar to today. beautiful for your sunday night. outdoor exercise, it's looking great. nearly perfect if you're heading to the pool. brunch tomorrow, definitely have it outdoors. make you have the sunglasses. and yard work, it's looking good. u unfortunately, if you held off, at least the weather will cooperate if you're getting the grass cut tomorrow. this is for the workweek, monday feeling like 90 degrees, but then as we move to tuesday and wednesday, and the mugginess starts to feel like temperatures are in the mid to even upper 90s on wednesday. and then thursday and friday, it's feeling more like 100 degrees outside when you factor in the humidity. quickly going through future weather. on monday, maybe isolated showers. 3:00 p.m., most of the area is

you're dealing with afternoon thunderstorms on monday. maybe better during the evening hours. only about 40%. take a look at your ten-day forecast. 91 for a high on monday and tuesday. maybe late-day storms around. then wednesday, in the mid 90s. and you can't miss thursday and friday. upper 90s for highs, maybe thunderstorms around later friday. but then next weekend, it's looking gorgeous again. >> all right, we'll reserve the pool date. >> i agree. >> sounds like a great idea. the clock is ticking for the redskins and kirk cousins. everybody seems to have an opinion on what's going to happen here ,

no, please, please, oh! ♪ (shrieks in terror) (heavy breathing and snorting) no, no. the running of the bulldogs? surprising. what's not surprising? how much money aleia saved by switching to geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more.

y2d1iy y16fy >> chris miles here in the csn studios. venus williams has accomplished a lot in her career. she's one of the ten highest grossing tennis players of all time, male or female. today venus had the opportunity to become the oldest women's grand slam winner in the open era. 23-year-old garbine muguruza stood in venus's way. the turning point, a 5-4

muguruza went on a nine-point streak to take the match. venus last won wimbledon in 2008, and it's been six years since she was diagnosed with a disease that most thought would end her career. muguruza understood the magnitude of the moment and the accomplishments of her opponent that she defeated. >> she's incredible player and i was going to have my opportunity sooner or later, and it was going to be a rough match. so i stayed composed. i don't know. just calm and waiting. you dream of this. once you make it, i think not a few people can do it and feel such a big accomplishment for me. i don't know. i was just crying with emotion. >> the nats are back in action tonight against the reds. max scherzer will take the mound at 7:10. bryce harper led the way friday night with two homers. he now has 22 on the year, ranked seventh in the nationwide league. the story for the nats is always pitching. gonzalez was phenomenal, tossing a shut-out through

but dusty baker pulled him in the last inning. the nats avoided a bases loaded scare to win 5-0. baker explained why he pulled his starter with just two outs left and no runs allowed. >> almost the tying run on deck. so, no, i wasn't that tempted. yeah, it was outstanding for gio. thought that was long enough, because we need him for 15, 20 more starts, hopefully. >> the orioles take on the defending world series championship cubs tonight. wade miley on the bump for baltimore. the birds comeback efforts on friday night fell short. gouzman allowed eight runs in three innings, tying a career high for him. still the game tied at the top of the ninth. russell hit the solo home run. cubs won 9-8. the deadline is almost here for the redskins to come to terms on a long-term deal with kirk cousins. more signs are pointing to the deal not getting done by monday's deadline. a

position as the starting quarterback for the burgundy and gold, mark rypien has an interesting perspective on the entire situation. the 1991 super bowl mvp gave his point of view from both sides. >> there's no doubt he's one of the premiere quarterbacks in the league. i don't think he's warranted of the highest paid contract. he hasn't won a playoff game. but he has ability and talent. i just wish they would have signed him, because i would have loved to see kirk in washington, d.c. for a long period of time, build a strong program there, like they're starting to build. >> this offseason has been in session for the burgundy and gold su'a craven. he showed big plays last year, intercepting eli manning, to steal a win against the giants. he spent most of his rookie campaign in the front seven, this year he's making a switch to safety. he talks about some of the adjustments that comes with making a position change. >> i just

from front to back. basically knowing, playing linebacker last year, i had to know not only my responsibility and my partner responsibility, but i have to know everybody on the d line run fits and what they were doing along with the pass coverage. so being a safety now, i get to see all seven guys working up front. and i know what they're doing ahead of time just because i was in their shoes last year. having that relationship i get to play off them and everything seems to flow. >> recognize these guys? steph curry, justin timberlake, and tony romo, taking selfies. and hitting the course at the american championship golf at lake tahoe. timber lake has some serious game, almost tases this hole. steph curry might have another career when he's done in the dna. chip shot, looks good. romo and curry mixing sports. hikes the ball, tossing the alley-oop to curry who dunks it. in case you didn't get the full gist of just how whacky that

for weather and me tossing to you for sports. >> just a little different there, but it was so entertaining. great smiles. good to see you, thank you, sir. all right, one final check of the weather. >> i have to say about that golf tournament, they have so much talent in their own field. then they're on the course getting a par, birdie, or bogey, and it's frustrating. but gorgeous again tomorrow, and maybe late day storms monday and tuesday. >> that's the news for now. thanks for joining us.
