side of this crime scene tape, there are detectives out here, homicide detectives. they are gathering evidence. we know that shots rang out on this block. i'd say around an hour ago. and police responded. one man is in good condition. the other is in critical. and what makes this significant, because you know, you want to show how news affects the community. there were people actually walking on this block, students, young people, parents, holding babies. you're now going to hear from police chief peter newsome. so, it appears we're having a little technical difficulties back out here live just to tell you police are searching for a suspect in this case. they received some tips, some leads. they are now trying to act upon them. and we will bring you the latest as this becomes available on our nbc washington app. live here, i'm shomari stone, back to you. >> all right, shomari, good

not. blayne alexander is at the white house with more. blayne, one meeting, two different versions. what gives? >> reporter: yeah, doreen, it was almost like we were getting read outs from two different conversations at times. but the most important thing to know is when it comes to daca, there is no change currently. now, president trump said they had a series of good talks, but no deal. but even those talks were enough to frustrate some conservatives on capitol hill and some members of the president's base. the very people who put him in office. landing in florida to survey destruction from hurricane irma, president trump first doing some damage control of his own. reassuring conservatives he is not going soft on immigration. >> we're not talking about amnesty. we're talking about, we're talking about taking care of people. >> reporter: this after democratic leaders chuck schumer and nancy pelosi proudly announced their dinner meeting with president trump ended with a deal on daca. the program protecting cu

>> reporter: like so many here, quin plans to come back and says the president's trip to the strike zone is important. >> he seems to have everything together when it comes to these kind of things. he really wants to help out. >> 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, you know, for millions, the onlyel

restoration of power. in places like this, that could still be more than a week away. back to you, leon, doreen. >> all right, thank you, jay. those folks have a long road ahead of them. now, our david culver was also down there in south florida. he spent the past eight days down there working for you, bringing images of irma and the aftermath. david reported during some of the most difficult conditions there, high winds, the heavy rains, but he always did it with a smile. tonight he's smiling because he's back home after finally catching a flight out of fort lauderdale this afternoon. here's an image that he posted on instagram fueling up with coffee. much needed. >> a cup of coffee. he couldn't stand to be away so long. here he is back with us in the studio. david, welcome back, and thank you for all the great work that you and your photographer did down there. >> photo journalist, he's covered many hurricanes. that cup of

it's nice to be in the a.c. those folks are dealing with so much when it comes to obviously without power, but they're just trying to get back into their homes. we were at a hotel towards the end of our stay, and it was filled with locals. we were the only ones from out of town. that's their reality for the next several days. >> was it tough getting out of there today? >> so, logistics all around were really difficult. we had to plan our days with about two hours buffer time to get in line for gas and fill up. that was the reality, extra canisters, our reserves ready to go. getting to the airport, video there, these are folks now getting back up to speed. i was going through security today and i told one of the tsa agents, i think you guys have done a pretty good job getting back up and going. he said, well, i don't know, i'm not from around here. they brought them in from indianapolis. tsa apparently brought a bunch much agents in to backfill and fill out where needed. >> it makes sense because the workers who would be working at that airport -- >> are trying to get their houses -- >> ty

storm, too. >> exactly. >> what was the flight like coming back, was it full? >> it was not full. we had 50 empty seats. as soon as we stepped out of the gate at dca, reagan national, a bunch of people on the waiting area ready to board, were going back. the people who evacuated -- >> they wanted to see what happened to their homes. >> exactly. i have family who are part of that, who are heading back and trying to survey what's left. >> well, you give us a sense of what you saw when you surveyed what was left. do you have any kind of grasp of what the recovery is going to be like, how long it's going to take these people there to just really get back to something that is a semblance of normal? >> it's so interesting pockets of destruction across the state. we were spending time on the eastern portion. we were in miami and fort lauderdale. i think within a couple of weeks they'll be back up to speed. of course, power is going to help that. marco island, naples on the western portion, they were significantly harder hit. and that's going to take awhile to get back up and running and to attract touris

one of the restaurant managers there stopped me and said, hey, can you tell people who are interested in coming down that we're ready for them? we're going to be ready for them. i know we're coming into prime season for a lot of people. i had people reaching out to me on facebook saying, let me know if it's good for my trip coming up if i can can get down there. they're saying we're ready. >> their livelihood and economy depends on tourism. >> absolutely. david culver, thank you. >> good to be back. >> welcome back. >> all right. now here's pat muse with some breaking news at the live desk. pat? >> yes, leon, we're following breaking news out of north korea. japanese media says the country's government has sent out an alert for people to take shelter. south korea is confirming that north korea has fired a missile. the missile appears to have flown over a northern japanese island. the south koreans are working with u.s. military authorities to get more information about this launch, and they are conducting an analysis, we are told, to determine what kind of missile this is. the reports are coming from

in seoul confirms that an unidentified projectile has been launched from pyongyang. again, we are working to get more information about this and we will have the latest here on air and online. wel be right back after 'lbr

>> now at 6:30, an apparent love triangle ends in the murder of a pregnant teacher. >> the nearly two-week long search ended in tragedy when right around this time last night, we learned police had found the body of laura wallen and they arrested her boy friend for the crime. >> pat lawson muse is in the newsroom with a possible motive. pat? >> doreen, laura said he lied the entire time they were dating. tessier was engaged to another woman, a woman he proposed to after finding out wallen was pregnant. the woman that wallen actually texted. wallen was four months pregnant when her family reported her missing. tessier who acknowledged being the father of her unborn baby was the last person to see her alive. police say they had been looking into inconsistencies in his story and even before he appeared at that news conference earlier this week, he had already been identified by police as a person

investigators eventually traced everything back to a remote field in damascus where they discovered wallen's body in a shallow grave. court documents show wallen had texted her sister about being in that field reportedly to look at land that they might build a house on. tessier admitted to police he's the person who ditched wallen's car and her belongings and police say he sent fake text messages from her phone. back to today's hearing meanwhile, a public defender argued that tessier has the support of his family and tried to convince the judge to set bail, but the judge denied that request. tessier reportedly let out a deep sigh when he learned that he would not be walking out of jail. back to you, doreen. >> all right, pat lawson muse, thank you. new at 6:00, a woman allegedly tried to snatch a young boy off a metro bus on his way to school in the district. tonight that boy and his family can breathe eedier. thalia brown is charged with attemptsed kidnapping.

in to help barks dale. >> the door slammed, half of us shut out, half of us shut in. we just hear screaming. so, i don't know, i found the strength, i bust through the door and all i seen was my brother jumping out through the window because apparently he had been stabbed by melvin. >> reporter: when edwards tried to pull her friend out of the room things only got worse. >> i was trying to pull her out. every time i pulled he would stab. line -- so i just had to leave her. >> reporter: when police arrived they found her brother on the ground beneath the window where he jumped to save his life. she was rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead. >> she was a beautiful person. and had a beautiful smile. she will be missed. >> she was so sweet. she didn't deserve that. she just wanted some peace, you know? she just wanted some peace. >> reporter: and the attacker, he turned the knife on himself. he's in critical condition. now, again, it's not the firsme

shown bizarre behavior. in fact, just two days ago he threw his girlfriend's kitten and two ferrets out the window. police and animal control showed up. now the victim's friends wonder why williams wasn't taken into custody then. in alexandria, i'm julie carey, news 4. >> news 4 is working to raise awareness about domestic violence. we call the initiative safe at home. head to the nbc washington app and search safe at home for a list of local resources. now to a tribute for a prince george's county student who meant so much to his high school community. today a multi-million dollar center opened up in forestville. it is dedicated to former student andy mona who died of cancer at the age of 25. the center features a dining hall that's so large, more than 850 students can eat lunch there at the same time. >> doesn't matter how nice that place is. i bet the kids don't like getting up early to get there. if you have a high school

know how it goes. getting them up in the morning out of bed for school is a challenge. there is growing research that says giving those teens a little more shut eye not only is good for their health, but would you believe it's good for the economy? check this out. researchers say that high school students need 9 to 10 hours of sleep every single night. but most districts, they start their day before 8:30, which means that some kids have got to get up at 6:30 to make that happen. and then they have to hit the hay around 9:30 to get up that early. good luck making that happen. but some researchers are now saying that moving school start times to 8:30 or later could mean billions for the economy. but many districts resist making that move because it costs them money. montgomery county maryland recently moved their start times to later 7:45 a.m. after a years long debate. and fairfax now starts at 8:00 a.m. or 8:10 depending upon which school you're going to there. one think tank did a cost benefit analysis. they said changing start times would cost the

$150 per student, but that could end up contributing more than $80 billion to the economy within a decade by improving the students' academic performance and therefore their economic viability later and reducing car crashes by sleepy teens. by the way, in case you think a later school start time means students would go to bed later, researchers say no, their studies don't bear that out. doreen? >> all right. thanks, leon. forget the power washer. still ahead, the high-tech approach to help restore a local landmark. >> i'm adam out here on 66 with a bunch of big rigs that are being controlled by themselves. i'll explain this autonomous test going on today coming up. >> and we're tracking jose, figuring out where it's going to go next. could have an impact on the east coast. early next week. we'll talk about that and tracking some showers out there, one of which right over parts of the city right now. much more on this, we'll see you back herin about five minutes.e

driving next to a huge tractor-trailer on the highway can be unnerving, but what if that tractor-trailer was partially driving itself? yeah, that's actually happening along one of our busiest roads. transportation reporter adam tess got a look at technology some say will be a game changer. >> reporter: well, what does this big rig have in common with that big rig, and then it has something else in common with that big rig? unbelievable, they're all talking to one another and they're on the road with you think of this as a really, really advanced form of cruise control. three trucks rolling down the highway, but only the lead truck is responsible for speed and braki braking for the entire group. the following trucks take their speed and braking commands from that lead truck, and that means that these guys can get very close.

>> we are .6 seconds away from this truck. >> exactly. >> reporter: and these not controlling the gas, he's just steering the truck? >> exactly. >> reporter: and we're gliding down i-66. osmund with the federal highway administration. >> it communicates vital information ten times a second between that. >> reporter: he says this is a potential breakthrough when it comes to so-called truck platooning and it could directly impact your wallet. this should improve fuel efficiency by about 5%. that means lower delivery costs and ultimately cheaper products that show up in stores. again, all of this is being tested right now along i-66. >> every road in the safe virginia is open for testing. we don't have a regulatory environment that is restrictive to this. >> reporter: back on the road as we follow closely, you do have to wonder if this could cause truck drivers to lose a little focus. osmund agrees test more tests are needed. >> we haven't done any studies, human factors studies to be done next. >> repor

step closer to a self-driving society. it is expected some trucks will be using this technology next year. along 66, adam tess, news 4. >> i don't know. >> not sure about that. big old truck. i want somebody in charge. >> i want somebody -- exactly. >> i don't like seeing trucks on the highway anyway. >> i want some guy's foot on the pedal. not near it, on it. i don't know about that. all right. d.c. is known for its gleaming white marble monuments, as you know. but one of the most recognizable among them is not as pristine as it used to be. you may have noticed the dark spots and gunk on the marble at the jefferson memorial. living micro organisms or biofilm is what that is, that's what they're blaming this on. the park service is trying to figure out how to clean all that stuff off without damaging the marble underneath. news 4 caught up with crews today using lasers to zap away the grime. >> seems to be working. >> isn't it? right now they say they're

annoying actually. we have been hearing from all of you all day long with questions. so, let's get right to it. so, four things you need to know. everyone wants to know how much does it cost to freeze your credit file? well, equifax as you know is not charging because the company has been hacked. but if you want to freeze your credit with the other two major credit reporting bureaus out of precaution, and i strongly suggest you do this, it will cost you between 5 and $10. so, how long does the credit freeze last? leon, you had that question for me. the federal trade commission says almost all of the states, a credit freeze will last until you temporarily lift or permanently remove it. now, there are a few states where it will expire after seven years. that's in kentucky, pennsylvania and south dakota. another question. does a credit freeze affect your credit score? simple answer, no. finally, can you still get a free annual credit report if you have a credit freeze? the answer to that is yes. the credit freeze does not

free credit report. my suggestion on that is simple, that you should get a credit report before you put the freeze on and then one four months from that point, and another four months that way you can compare. we have answers to many more of your questions on our nbc app. right now you just have to search credit freeze. >> freeze and then when you want to make a purchase, then unfreeze and refreeze again. >> is unfreezing it going to be ease toy do? >> yeah. >> unfreezing is very easy to do. it takes a few minutes, but it's going to cost you. and it depends on, i think in some cases it's about $29 but because, don't forget, if you're applying for a loan, for a car or whatever, you need to -- that lender needs to get access into your report. but also remember this. you have to unfreeze where that lender is going to need to get your credit report. i know, right? >> this is with three different services, not just one. there is no one-stop shopping with this. >> no. each

one of the different credit bureaus to get your information. so, you need to find out which bureau that is, unfreeze it, put it back. i know it sounds so annoying, but really the process isn't that hard. >> down the road. >> go on our app and we'll help you through it. >> i'm ready to go back to parchment. >> cash. >> cash, exactly. all right. thanks, susan. >> thank you. >> sure, you guys. >> the next story is for the bargain hunters out there. the semiannual wee sale. it is a consignment agent in hyattsville that kicked off today. parents will be able to find discounted toys and clothing, supplies, and a lot more. the items are all more than 70% lower than retail prices. we talked to some shoppers today to see what they were scooping up. >> clothes for my daughter. >> and how is it going? >> okay. a lot of pajamas which is good. >> well, there are a few sections that are already p
