two dogs off of their leash on this baseball field near those bleachers when a security guard from the community center came over and said, hey, look, we're going to be releasing the children soon. there is a day care center here. can you put your dogs on a leash? at that point the two men got into an argument. that verbal altercation transpired across the playground back behind to the community center and at some point police say the security guard fearing for his life drew his weapon and shot the man. now, police say the man got back into his car with the dogs and drove away. the security guard was able to get the tag number. he called 911. police were able to trace that car to a nearby address. actually just about a block away. when police responded there, they found the vehicle tim with a gunshot wound to his abdomen lying in the driveway there. all again, police say this all began with a fight over two dogs who were off their leash. the owner of those dogs was the man who was shot. police say they do not

that man had a weapon or not. crime scene investigators are still on the scene here taking pictures and searching the area behind me. they would not comment on whether or not the suspect actually had a weapon, or what his condition is, only that he's been taken to a nearby hospital. and no charges on the security officer as of yet. this is still under investigation. we can also tell you that the children herein side this community center gum springs, were never in any danger, but i did talk to the parent of one of the children here who said when he went in and saw the police and asked what was going on, no one in the community center would give him any information at all. that's the very latest here in fairfax county. mark see graves, news 4. >> right now president trump is in florida. the state he's called his second home, he's surveying damage from hurricane irma. he met with members of fema and the national guard to learn about recovery efforts. he also toured ft. myers and naples with the vice-president and he met victims. he sayshe

congressman steve king tweeting, the president has blown up his base and his credibility. >> i'm going to defend the rule of law and that's what the president promised to do. >> reporter: house speaker paul ryan saying the president assured him on daca there was only a discussion, no agreement. >> i think the president understands he's going to have to work with the congressional majority to get any kind of legislative solution. >> reporter: a solution that won't even get a vote unless republican leaders stand behind it. and president trump, remember when he canceled daca six weeks or last week, rather, he gave congress six months to come up with something better. leon, today the president said he does believe that they will reach a deal within that time frame. back to you. >> all right, thank you, blayne. we'll see you soon. the data breach of 143 million people's information could be the tip of the iceberg. this mess could slow you down when you buy anything from a house to maybe that new iphone. >> plus first at 4, raising eyebrows again. a member of the president's cabinet and his wife

mark herring: my mom to provide for our family. at one point, she got fired for of all things -- getting married. that was a lifelong lesson for me: when people are hurt, you need to stand up

and i've never forgotten that as your attorney general. whether it's protecting veterans and seniors from shady debt collectors, or cracking down on gangs and drug traffickers, i have one guiding principle: do what's right for people. i'm mark herring, candidate for attorney general, and i sponsored this ad.

live des. a bombshell report from "the new york times" reveals president trump lashed out at attorney general jeff sessions, calling him, quote, an idiot, and told him to quit. after the appointment of special counsel robert mueller, the president blamed sessions for mullers' investigation into possible links between russia and the trump campaign. the times says trump unleashed a string of insults during the explosive oval office meeting in may and said appointing sessions was one of the worst decisions that he had made. sessions later told people that it was the most humiliating experience in his decades of public service. sessions turned in his resignation letter. trump rejected that letter only after senior aides told him that firing the attorney general would only create more headaches for the embattled president. the times cited senior administration officials for their story. the white house and the justice department had declined to comment.

gonzalez. >> surprises never stop coming. thanks, erica. speaking of surprises, here's a nasty one. 143 million people now weighing the decision about whether to freeze their credit after equifax's massive data breach. >> social security numbers, names, addresses, even driver's license information all of it compromised. but freezing your credit could become a hassle for you down the road. >> that's right. consumer reporter susan hogan working for you on that. susan. >> that's right. well, credit freeze, a lot of people don't realize this. it means no one, including you, can access your credit report to open up new accounts. it is a smart way, though, to prevent identity theft in the wake of the equifax breach. but if you want to buy something, like that new pricey iphone that cost a thousand dollars which we reported on this week, or signing up for pay simple gym membership, if you want to buy a new appliance or apply for a student loan, if you can't afford to pay all of those up front and you want toly

now, according to the federal trade commission, a credit freeze will require you to lift the freeze for any transaction that requires a credit check. no matter how small that transaction is. yes, pat is looking at me like, what? consumers can only lift the freeze using a pin number that you're going to get from credit bureaus. it's a lot. >> sounds like a bit of a hassle. but it's worth it you say, right? >> gosh, it is. so many people have asked this question. you need to go to each and every, all three credit bureau ands put a freeze on all. with this whole equifax issue. people think if i'm just doing with equifax i'm okay. the answer is, no, you have to do it with all three. the problem, though, as we were talking, they're so inundated with millions of people doing the same thing. so, you're waiting. so, here's a little bit of a tip for you. there's also something called a fraud alert and the fraud alert actually will last for 9

so, in the interim, just to kind of cover yourself, do that. you can only do that -- you can go to one of the credit bureaus, i would suggest not equifax. they will report to the other two. and that just -- for 90 days you'll know that you're covered and it will let you know if anyone tried to open an account. >> do that on a rolling base snis >> you can, every 90 days. i strongly recommend the freeze. if you're applying for a car loan, say, right now and you're like, gosh, i don't know what to do. you can specifically unfreeze just for that particular, you know, bank of america or citizens or whomever. so, you can suggest that. you can, you know, put that in there. >> and the freeze goes back on. >> and then the freeze goes back on. >> after the purchase. if you use different versions of your name, the social security number remains the same? >> all roads lead back to your social security. so, whenever you opened up a credit card or a loan, even if you have a different name, a different last name, all roads -- you have to use your social security number to get that loan. so, that's okay. it's okay as l

your social security number. >> we can thank the hackers for our headaches. >> coming up at 5:00, we have a lot more -- people have been sending us tons and tons of questions. we'll have the questions for you, the answers for you as well. this keeps going on for 5:00 and for 6:00, too. >> good deal. thank you, susan. >> thank you. >> that's information we really need. we'll see you in a bit. >> no worries. >> today we learned the new head of the treasury department asked to use an expensive government plane to fly to his european honeymoon last month. secretary steven mnuchin inquired about using a military jet during the trip because he needed access to secure communications. but today the treasury department revealed that another secure option was found so also the request was withdrawn and no government plane was used. final analysis, mnuchin and his wife actress louise linton were married in june. theyen

and italy. if you remember, lynn ton was bless blasted last month after posting this instagram photo of her getting off a government plane at the end of another trip. she wrote about all the designer clothing she was wearing. many people criticized her for flaunting her lavish life-style. linton later apologized for the post and said, quote, she deserved the criticism. >> i'd like to see irma get on a plane and get the heck out of here for good finally. so, what's the word, man, on whether or not or when they're going to retire that name? >> that's a good point. they'll be meeting at the world meteorological to see when this is done. that way we do not see another harvey, another irma, we'll never see another andrew or katrina and that name will be recycled six years from now. next time we'll get a new eye name. good question, leon. nicely done. >> that's what i do. >> he asks questions. what about the weather for tonight? >> not bad.

couple showers associated with them. for the most part we're dealing with the cloud cover the rest of the night with those isolated on and off showers. what are we going to be seeing here? let's talk about overnight tonight into the day tomorrow. as we move on through the rest of the evening, 9:00 just a couple scattered showers. that is it. if you're eating dinner outdoors i think you'll be okay there, too. but keep a watchful eye. could see a few in the district 9:00, 10:00, 11:00, in time for the nationals game. shouldn't impact it too much. friday no problems. tomorrow a mix of sun and clouds. an isolated shower around the region. more of a sprinkle than anything, but just like today a mix of sun and clouds. looking pretty good. at the bus stop for the kids, 68 degrees at 7:00 a.m., 76 by noon, isolates springs 3:00, temperature 80. another great afternoon. look at the weekend, looking really nice. 84 saturday, 82 sunday, maybe a sprinkle on sunday, too, but i think we'll be okay. monday looks good. then tuesday, wednesday, thursday we're watching jose all the way through the end of the week. we're going to have much more

>> reporter: help is now pouring into the hardest hit areas where survivors are still struggling to find food, water and fuel. along with the relief and recovery effort, there is now a criminal investigation underway. >> i think it is an emerging scandal of gargantuan proportions. >> reporter: eight patients dead after what were apparently problems with the air conditioner at their nursing home. >> felt like 110, 115 degrees in there. >> reporter: one of many questions in the tragedy, why residents weren't moved to this hospital literally just across the street. blazing heat after the storm, making things even more difficult, if that's possible here. yeah, the heat really unbearable here, and the only thing that's going to solve that for a lot of people is getting this power restored. and places like this, guys, that's still more than a week away. so, what you see on this roadway as we talked about, the only one in and out, are power te

pallets of water, military vehicles all getting in and trying to really rush that effort. pat, leon, back to you. >> all right, thank you, jay. boy, just got to hope for the best for those folks and wish them the best. >> yeah, kind of tough to watch there. >> it sure is. futuristic laser is here being used to clean up a piece of history. and looks like it's working, too. >> the national park service is in the middle of a painstaking process to remove all that grimy biofilm from the jefferson memorial. as megan mcgrath found out, progress is being made, but it could take quite sometime to get the memorial looking like new again. >> reporter: it's one of the most beautiful memorials in washington, but in recent years the jefferson's famous white dome has become dark and grimy. home to a growing colony of microscopic organisms. megan jackson bikes by on his way to work and he's noticed. >> kind of takes your eye from theho

focusing on the weird stuff growing. >> reporter: hopefully that won't be the case much longer. work crews are using special lasers to zap the so-called biofilm away. a technique that should kill the organisms without damaging the marble. >> we don't always know what chemicals do to a stone. if they're left on for a period of time. so, we wanted to stay away from chemicals. >> reporter: this phase is a test being done on one section of the memorial. if it works, the technology will be used on the rest of the jefferson. as you can see in this video, it's a slow, painstaking process. the test will take about four weeks to do the entire memorial will take much longer. now, the experts don't necessarily think this is a permanent fix, but they hope that it will not back the biofilm about ten years at which point they might need to do it again. from the jefferson memorial, megan mcgrath, news 4. >> now, if you have a high school student, you know about this. getting them up and out of bed

and there's growing research, though, that says giving kids a little more shut eye in their teen years is not only good for their health, but it's good for the economy, if you can believe that. we'll show you how that works. recent research says that high school students need 9 to 10 hours of sleep every night. most districts start the day before 8:30, which means some kids have to get up at 6:30 and they have to hit the hay around 9:30 to make that happen. good luck with that. some researchers, though, say that moving the start times to 8:30 or later could mean billions for the economy. but many districts resist making that kind of a move because it costs them money. montgomery county recently moved their start time later to 7:45 a.m. after a year's long debate. and fairfax county now starts at 8:00 a.m. or 8:10, depending upon which school you're at. now, one think tank did a study and they said a cost benefit analysis they ran says that changing start times would cost the school district about $150 per stud

contribute more than $80 billion to the economy within a decade by improving students' academic performances and reducing car crashes by sleepy team. all of that would cost us less money. in case you think a later start time means students would go to bed later, studies actually don't bear that out. pat? >> of course, it is tough to get them to go to bed at night. >> you know it. >> after they finish their homework, of course. the fair is back in town, but without a very controversial symbol for the first time. plus, how much we'd be willing to pay to see hillary clinton in person. the where, when and how much as she comes to washington in just a few days. >> we're tracking jose waiting for the latest advisory to come out. now, again, it is going to have a little bit of an impact on our area most likely and parts of

in la plata. there are going to be farm animals and lots of demonstrations, all sorts of carnival-style fun. one thing we don't expect to see, the confederate battle flag. it's been on display many years, but fair organizers announced recently the flag will not be sold, shown, or given away by any group this year. they want everybody to come to the fair and have fun and they don't want simple symbols that might upset or offend anyone. >> tomorrow an eleven-year-old boy is getting the biggest lawn mowing job of his life. he's from falls church and he's going to help the crew cut the rose garden grass at the white house. earlier this year he wrote to president trump and asked if he could come and cut the grass. the president took him up on the offer. frank says he's good at weed whacking, he has his own business where he does that. i have no idea how he's going to charge them. >> yeah. you can bet he won't have trouble getting a job cutting grass aftert.

that's all. i don't know, i found the strength, busted through the door. i saw my brother jumping out the window because apparently he had been stabbed by melvin. >> reporter: now, she said she also tried to save her girlfriend, to pull her away from the attacker, but she was unsuccessful. coming up on news 4 at 5:00, i'll tell you what that man was saying as he was attacking his girlfriend. back to you now in the studio. >> julie carey, thank you, julie. >> thank you, julie. >> we continue to work a developing story. the boyfriend of a murdered maryland teacher now locked up and charged with first degree murder. >> news 4 brought the story when laura wallen first disappeared. jim and wendy standing by in the newsroom working the latest twist in this truly sickening case, guys. >> yes, what an awful, awful couple, more than week it it has been for the parents. of course the last 24 hours they found out that their daughter was dead. they were in the courtroom today as her -- the

arraigned. >> we have the big news from inside the courtroom. the alleged web of lies that suspect spun in this case. documents reveal tyler tessier was engaged to another woman. today the victim's parents spoke to news 4 about that deadly love triangle. >> we also asked them what it was like sitting through a news conference earlier this week tw with tessier knowing he was the prime suspect in the case. news team 4 has live coverage on the case in a few minutes. >> a lot of us can't get the image out of our minds, holding his hand and the father patting him on the shoulder. >> that makes it even more amazing. >> sure does. we'll see you in a few. >> we'll see you in a bit, guys. >> thank you both. well, how are we going to dress? how should we for tonight's weather? >> very good question. i think you may want to take the umbrella just in case, but it's not going to be one of those things where everybody is pulling them out. >> and it's feeling kind of like summer out there with the

it will stay humid into the weekend and even next week. >> a lot warmer than the past week or so. take a look now. cloud cover coming in. a couple of light showers, but most of us dry. 80 degrees, very nice mild afternoon here. 78 right now weather underground network in leesburg, 77 over towards chantilly, centerville area, potomac coming in at 79 degrees. overall not too bad. shower activity for the most part is only right here. we have a couple more trying to form. back around parts of the shenandoah valley. loudoun county south and west of leesburg around middle burg area, that's about it. most of us are remaining dry. even though the remnants of irma are moving over us, notice this storm is really fizzling outs as it moves to the north and east. it is going to have a little impact on us today. a little bit tomorrow, another chance of isolated shower. but that is really about it. so, all in all, looking at a pretty good day tomorrow. starting off 67 degrees in most of the suburbs. a bit humid a

still nice. isolated shower in the afternoon, again, we don't think you'll need the umbrella. we'll call it a fantastic friday. 7:00 coming in with a temperature of 78 degrees. now, irma just about out of here but we still have to track jose and we do think it will have some impacts on our region. amelia and i have been looking at this all day. amelia, it doesn't look like it will come close enough to give us direct impacts but we'll feel a little of it. >> we could see cloudiness, breezy conditions especially out there on tuesday. take a look at where the storm is right now, it's a tropical storm. you can see it really hasn't moved all that much over the last few days. still north of puerto rico. and here's the latest from the national hurricane center. right now maximum winds at 70 miles an hour with this storm system. moving toward the west, northwest at about 8 miles an hour, it is potentially going to strengthen back up to a hurricane j. just one hurricane, though. this is tuesday afternoon. notice doug just pointing this out as well. that cone of uncertainty kind of kissing the ocean city ar

on. remember, this is not the most likely -- this is not the exact path it will take. it can really go anywhere in that cone of uncertainty. so, again, something we still need to monitor, but thankfully it looks like the impacts will be pretty low here. so, take a look at what we can expect and again it would be on tuesday here when we'll feel any impacts from jose. little bit breezy, more clouds especially east of 95, and then we could see some high waves and rip currents, of course, at area beaches, doug. here for the weekend looking nice out there. >> it really is. winds from jose along the beaches, 30, 40 miles per hour. we're not talking about a bill storm system here. what we are going to see is a nice weekend. 82 tomorrow, 84 saturday and sunday coming in with 82 degrees. it does look like we'll see a slight chance of sprinkle. tomorrow and on sunday. tracking jose on tuesday, that system moves on by and we have a lot of 80s over the next ten days. nothing too hot, nothing too cool. some

right. >> ah, we like doug. thank you. >> all right, doug. >> you know, between homework and exams, identity theft is the last thing on a college student's mind. >> it doesn't mean they can't still get ripped off. especially since so many of them use credit cards instead of cash. consumer reporter susan hogan working for you and she has what you need to know. >> my principatwins headed off college. they have no idea about cash except my daughter who is a waitress. most kids aren't thinking about this. with of course the equifax breach, identity theft is top of mind. so, consumer reports says college students are especially vulnerable to have their personal information compromised. they're offering this 101 on keeping personal information safe on campus. nadine uses her credit and debit card to purchase just about everything like meals and books and entertainment. she and her mom sometimes worry about criminals stealing nadine's

bills in her name. >> it's happened to people i know. if it happened to them, why can't it happen to me? >> you have to go through a long process trying to fix all the problems that this can bring. >> reporter: nadine knows not to share sensitive information like passwords, credit card numbers and her social security number unless absolutely necessary. but consumer reports says there are other ways critical information can leak out. >> criminals love public wi-fi because it may not be secure and potentially giving those criminals access to your computer. for things like shopping or banking, it's better to use private wi-fi that you access with a pass word. >> reporter: consider using your phone's network for sensitive transactions. that's safer than public wi-fi. >> college databases have been hacked recently. they can't do much about that but they can limit steps from data breaches whether on campus or elsewhere. >> reporter: change passwords

credit cards for unauthorized charges. also, check with the credit reporting companies for unexplained debt. and if anyone has tried to open up credit in the student's name, inform the bureau that the attempt was fraudulent. now, again, the best way to protect yourself, if you think your identity has been stolen, is by putting a temporary freeze. we've been talking about this all day long because of equifax. we'll have more details for you on that process, how to do it and also answering questions from the viewers all day today about issues that they've been having trying to do just that. amazing. >> we want to protect our kids. >> we do absolutely. >> thank you, susan. >> we are learning more about the tragedy in the florida nursing home including the people inside and some of the signs that something there was wrong. >> we went in our room. it was like an oven. she was sitting there. she says, jean, please, i can't breathe. >>
