this morning when he saw the smoke and flames, he went inside up to the third floor, rescued two people who were up there and helped them out of the house. when even just one person or one family in the park fairfax community suffers, everybody around here feels it. from the firefighters to the neighbors, to the mayor. a man and his elderly mother live up on the third floor where the flames moved fast. they got out in time but are in the hospital now. lori friedman lives down on the first floor. she has for 30 years, never has there been a day like this. it all happened very quickly. i was at home in a back room. i heard somebody yelling outside, there's a dog inside. and i just came out to investigate to see what was happening and looked up and saw flames and smoke. got the dog out and got myself out. >> so you see the fire gear

right now investigators are trying to identify the man, a suspect and a motive. this comes just one day after prince georges county police arrested two teens for the stabbing death of a homeless man. the 14-year-old suspect you see there who is charged as an adult just learned that he will remain in jail his bond was denied this afternoon in response to the spike in violent crimes in this county. police are now working 12-hour shifts. the department told our prince georges bureau chief, tracee wilkins that the patrols have led to 12% drop in violent crime in just the last few weeks and 90 guns have been taken off the streets. taylor swift got some back up from her body guard in court today. he took the stand and the pop star's groping trial in denver. her body guard told the jury, he saw the hand of radio dj david mueller go under swift's skirt during the meet and greet. he also says he saw swift react and move

violence accusation made by elliott's former girlfriend. the 22-year-old denied the allegation and prosecutors never charged him because of conflicting reporting. if the ruling standards, elliott's first game back would be here at fedex field. elliott's suspension is a result of strict domestic violence policy that started with this tmz video of ray rice. it shows rice knocking his then fiance unconscious in that hotel elevator. rice was eventually benched for two games. he was suspended indefinitely after it was made public. focused on how the video led to the new policy. a first offense comes with a six-game suspension, a second offense means a lifetime ban. we have more resources on domestic violence and the nbc washington app search "safe at home." drivers rush to say the motorcyclist cut off in traffic only

this is moving towards the east at about 20 miles an hour. if it stays at this speed, this is the timeline for heavy rain fall moving into your neighborhood, moving into sterling at about 6:30, and the district right around 6:50 in the evening that would certainly have an impact on the nationals game. definitely want to grab the umbrella. you can see some areas where we're not seeing heavy rain. starting to move into the city of traveling somebody coming home tonight, they'll be dealing with some of those showers. here is a wider look at the radar right now. you can see, this is really catching our eye. this is that severe thunderstorm warning for the counties that's going to go until 4:45, some hail, high winds in that severe thunderstorm and very heavy rain fall. i'm getting rain fall rates over 2 inches an hour in that storm. again, that is moving towards us. the road traditions are going to be wet, wet roads in the forecast tomorrow and then

but here is the timing for the rain tonight. 5:00 we're noticing it, for the most part back around i-81. starting to move into loudoun and montgomery counties. as we hit 10:00 p.m., potentially seeing rain in the metro area. as we move towards midnight, that heavy rain east of 95 at that point. tomorrow what can you expect, well showers at times, it's not going to be a wash out, timing out exactly when the rain is going to fall, pretty tricky. take a look. during the morning hours, the good news if you're west of 95, mainly dry during the morning. east of 95, showers more likely there. scattered showers towards the midday, we start to dry out towards the later evening hours and high temperature tomorrow of 85. not only that, it's muggy, as well. make that indoor plan for your saturday, have a backup plan. sunday it's all outdoors, low humidity, nice, mid-80s and partly sunny skies. >> well, you

"wind river" is one of the big movies playing on the big screen. >> jason frayly is joining us now. this takes us to american landscape that most of us aren't really familiar with. >> absolutely. hey, guys. i actually, real, really, really enjoy this movie. this is my kind of movie. i really liked it. it's the directory ialeb

which was one of my favorite movies last year. it stars jeremy as a wild life tracker out here in, you know, the snowy wilderness and he stumbles across a dead body frozen in the snow of an 18-year-old native american girl. and so elizabeth olson, an fbi agent joins him in helping to try to solve this case. now it's a native american girl it comes against the backdrop of this social theme we haven't thought about where these reservations don't really keep track and don't keep records of missing native american women. it's a sub text with that. it's a really gripping murder mystery, sort of a knee owe western if you want to call it that. >> we also have the green -- the glass, rather, the glass castle out this weekend. this is about two free-spirited parents who take an unusual approach to rearing their children. ll

>> yes, it's based on the best selling memoir by janet. so a lot of the fans of the book will look forward to see this. woody haralson, i think, steals the show in this. he's sort of in the childhood flashback. he's a really charismatic tough love broken promise. you hate him in a lot of scenes because his alcoholic tendencies flair-up. even though it is a little hard to watch, i think that's the more engrossing part of the storey where the script loses it a little for me is when it jumps back and forth, back and forth between the adulthood and the childhood. it kind of loses it a little bit there for me. i would say if you haven't seen the same directors earlier movie called short term 12, see that

i loved it from 2013. see that and maybe come back. it's just okay. >> what happens if you're not really into movies and you want some good music, are there some classic acts performing in the area? >> yeah, well i find it hard to believe, i know where you're going with this. weekend concert. they're playing out at wolf. if you want maybe a more classic act. we've got the speedway down at jiffy lube ride. they're down at the berge meirg. and check out lady ant bell lum. we actually spoke with the band on wtop this week so you can check it out here with wtop.com. lots of options this weekend. >> all right. lots of great options in and out of the theater. thank you, jason fraley. >> and when you're on an airplane full of strangers you know there are lots of

lurking, right. new at 4:30. which part of the plane may have more germs than the handles in the bathroom. it's much closer to your seat than you may think. >> roll out the red carpet. which is a backdrop for hollywood movie. >> adding insult to injury, only on news 4 a local family grieving the loss of a young man now waging a war with a local web site. >> please, first of all, take

let's get an update from storm team 4 now because your friday night plans might get a little wet. >> that's right. we could see some heavy rain. some of it's already moving into our area, let's check in the storm center for us. >> it's coming. >> yeah, and this just in, new severe thunderstorm warning issued for the counties, a little bit here, this severe thunderstorm warning is going to be 5:15, a part of page and warren counties. so take a look, here is the rain, very heavy rain fall. rain fall rates in 2 inches per hour, also reports of the potential quarter size hail and gusty winds, as well. i was tracking this storm earlier and moving at about 20 miles per hour. it's now slowed down to about 15 miles an hour. i want to give you the impact

area. a lot of us have plans on our friday night. this is the timeline for heavy rain based on the latest information moving right around 6:00, the sterling area at about 7:00. fairfax right around 7:50 that would put it in the district just after 8:00. so your evening planner, 83 degrees right now. we will have areas of rain through the evening hours and more rain tomorrow, pat, more on that coming up in a little bit. >> thanks amelia. now at 4:30, only on news 4, family mourning the death of their son. >> they believe he died of an overdose and his friends dumped his body adding insult to injury, a picture of their son's body is still circulating on a controversial form. >> julie carey has his father's emotional message. the lifeless body of 25-year-old was found dumped in this parking

someone in the area took a photo of the young man and posted it on a local online forum. now for his family, it is a double dose of grief over his death and over that posting. we've blurred the image that was posted, but it shows the young man police surrounding his body. his father suspects his son died of a drug overdose, perhaps from deadly fentanyl. investigators say the young man died before his young body was left in the parking lot. as the family struggles, they're even more troubled that his body is publicly posted along with dozens of ka lus comments about that. >> they post that picture on the web site and it was extremely hurtful to me and my family. it was just -- i can't even explain how much worse that made things. >> i contacted the man who manages that online

defended the posting of the photo, saying it doesn't break the law and it's news worthy. more on what he has to say when i join you at 5:00. julie carey, news 4. >> thanks. a horrible storey. sort of makes you shake your head, too. >> well, turning on to a summertime tradition that returns this week in the montgomery county fair just opened over an hour ago. >> what's live at what's happening at the fairgrounds. how is it going? having fun. >> hey, pat and susan, i sure am. right now i'm trying to win me a prize. this is the bottle game. i've got four rings here, four chances. this is harder than it looks putting it out there, do not judge me. here i go, i'm told that the correct technique is to toss it like this rather than like this, here we go. okay. still got three chances. it's okay. i'm going to get it, i swear or not.
