by blowing up cars outside. they even shot at the ambulances that were there to rescuehe victims. no group has come forward to claim responsibility as yet. in a tweet this afternoon about the incident, president trump said this attack is another reason why we need a wall and a travel ban. meagan, jim, back to you. >> leon, thank you. >> new details about a fire in prince george's county makes a tragic story even sadder. >> a blaze trapped an 80-year-old woman inside her capitol heights home. she died, but it's not the only loss for the family this month. news4's derrick ward is live at wilburn drive with the story for us. derrick? >> reporter: yeah, jim, you know, this family was already grieving from the loss of a family member. and then this fire happened this morning. now, the cause has yet to be determined, but this normally quiet neighborhood is even a lot more quiet now as it is starting to think in about the

loss that happened here earlier this morning. family members going about the grim task of salvaging important papers and pictures, a long life of accumulation in a pickup truck from a fire that raged in early dawn. >> i woke up my wife immediately and i knew charlie is next door. his house was on fire. >> we had to deal with some bars on the windows and doors, and because of the very heavy fire conditions that are reported somebody 2r5trapped, we sent fi fighters in. >> reporter: the victim elaine james was pulled from a second floor room around 3:15 in the morning. rescuers wrorkd to revive her but she died in the hospital shortly after. a fire fighter was also injured and he's recovering at a local burn unit. the homeowner's adult son who lived here was treated ford smoke inhalation. he got himself out but he couldn't get to his mother. >> was out trying to get people to call 9191.

were working smoke detectors and people had at least some sort of escape plan so if the unthinkable happened they did have a hedge against tragedy. but from what we understand, no working smoke detectors in the home at the time of this fire. >> all right, derrick, thank you. prince george's county police have just released the name of a man hit and killed by two cars. police tell us those cars hit sergey domini of bowie. this happened last night in prince george's county at the intersection of mets rot road and new hampshire avenue. officers say the first driver stayed on the scene, but a second driver did not. investigators believe that that second driver may have realized that they hit someone. police are still looking for that second driver. >> also new at 5:00, graffiti targeting jewish people in a park. the markings have the attention of d.c. police tonight. someone spotted the graffiti spray painting on a rosa parks softball field at 26th and p street northwest

this. >> reporter: they can't do it without help. every penny used to buy the $15 wreaths comes from donations. the group normally puts a wreath on more than 245,000 graves, but this year only raised enough money to cover about a third of the tombstones. >> i hate to put that last wreath down and see there is a stone that doesn't have one. >> reporter: it's happened before a few years ago. that's when hanson met a father he'll never forget. >> they said four words to me that still stick with me. he says, what about my son? he's standing in front of a stone that doesn't have a wreath on it. >> reporter: this year it's three weeks to go before the big day. they're hoping more people will give to those who have given to us. >> it's black friday now, and people are out shopping. but think a bit about what's allowing you to get out there and do that shopping is the people that are laying at rest here. we're hoping people won't forget our veterans and be willing to step up and help us. >> reporter: if you'd like to donate, we posted a link in

sensation in japan thanks to her creative selfies. check this out, like dressing up as a fairy, playing with a bird, a ghost floating out of a wall or pretending to be a sweater hanging outside in the sun. she uses real cameras, not a cell phone. and it's her own photos. that's pretty remarkable. >> that's cool. >> amazing. good stuff. you can't do that with a cell phone. all right, doug, we have a nice backdrop tonight. >> yeah, not a bad night. average high is 55 or little below that. coming after what was a very cool thanksgiving. not bad at all. i love this time of year a number of reasons. obviously thanksgiving, you have your fill. going into the holiday season, but going into another season i just love. >> is that colorado? >> snow shoe, baby, the opening of ski season out there at snow shoe mountain in west virginia. that coming today. also seven springs in pennsylvania a little bit of a closer drive there. love going to snow

that was today. look at that. >> very good. >> even tra tna saur rex. we have clear skies. 49 degrees, winds out of the south at 9 miles an hour. that southerly wind is going to stay with us through the day tomorrow. that will help temperatures to rise right back into the upper 50s to near 60 tomorrow. right now 50 degrees martinsburg, 51 culpepper, 49 fredericksburg. 43 cambridge, patuxent river. everybody on the mild side on your saturday. friday afternoon, no rain to talk about. we need some rain. we really do. we've been fairly dry for most of the month of november. only a couple storms out there. doesn't look like we have any as we head towards the first week of december either. satellite radar showing you the wider picture here. nothing from boston all the way to raleigh, back towards chicago. you notice minnei

that will provide us with warmer temperatures tomorrow and colder temperatures as we move through the day on sunday. let's take you through that as we move on through saturday afternoon. looking nice into the mid to upper 50s here. but here are the 40s back to the west, here comes that colder air settling in by sunday morning. everybody in the 30s, and then by sunday afternoon we're only in the mid to upper 40s. and the wind is going to be a factor sunday, too. sunday is going to be a rather chilly afternoon. tomorrow, however, enjoy it sunshine early, clouds late. but a great day. temperature right around 60 degrees. tomorrow is a great day to get out there, maybe put up some of those lights, those christmas lights if you're thinking about doing that, decorating the house. another great day to head out to the university of maryland game as we take on penn state there. 55 degrees at noon. game time just after 3:00, temperature close to 60. but by around the time the game is ending it will feel 10 degrees colder as the wind begins to pickup and the sun making its way down before the 5:00 hour. next couple days, 60 tomorrow, 49 on sunday. there's that change, but we change right back to milder weather monday and

abundant sunshine. 60 degrees on wednesday, and then a few late day showers on thursday. these are really probably after sunset. so most of your thursday looking dry. that's another cold front that will bring in colder air for friday. but you notice here the next ten days, the average high temperature is around 55, just about each and every day around or above average. just a few exceptions. we like the warmer weather. >> yes, we do. doug, thanks. >> all right. an alert for drivers. why you may be seeing more deer on the road for the next few weeks. >> plus beyond politics, why ivanka trump is coming to the defense of a former first daughter.

the white house won't get any more information from michael flynn's lawyers about the investigation into russian election interference. the team representing the former national security advisor cut ties with president donald trump's legal team. the cause of the policy change is a mystery. some speculate it's a sign flynn is moving to cooperate with special prosecutor robert mueller. but a lawyer for the president warned against drawing any conclusions. >> ivanka trump is sticking up for president barack obama's eldest daughter malia after videos were posted online showing her kissing a young man and blowing smoke rings.

should be allowed the same privacy as her school-aged peers and should be off limits. malia is a first year student up at harvard university. she took a gap year after graduating high school in washington back in 2016. former first daughter chelsea clinton also tweeted malia obama's private life as a young woman, a college student, a private citizen should not be your click bait. be better. >> president trump and mystery planes, our partners at fact check.org say his recent boast about a boeing order has them baffled. nbc's jim rosenfield has the story. >> vietnam is ordering at least $12 billion worth of boeings and i think they were going a different route. but now they're going the route of ordering from us. >> reporter: president donald trump lists his accomplishments after wrapping up an extensive tour of asia, including a multi-billion dollar deal with boeing. >> this is a bit of a head scratcher for us. >> reporter: fact check.org

to work looking for more details about the deal, starting with boeing's website where these kinds ever deals would be announced and found nothing. >> so, we talked to a spokesman at boeing who said that perhaps the president was talking about negotiations for future deals, but that's not something that's been finalized. >> reporter: fact check.org did find a deal from may of 2016. boeing signed a contract worth $11.3 billion with a company called viet jet airlines to build 100 planes. >> so, if president trump was talking about that deal, he's double dipping on a deal that was already signed during the previous administration. >> reporter: the president's boasting went beyond vietnam. >> we had a tremendously successful trip, tremendous amounts of work was done on trade. not only on the deals. and we have at least $300 million worth of deals, but that will be i think way triple that number in a fairly short period of time. >> reporter: fact check.org says, not so fast. according to experts. >> these are

agreements that sometimes take years to materialize if they ever do. >> reporter: fact check.org reached out to the white house for a break down of the deals negotiated during the president's trip to asia but got no response. i'm jim rosenfield for nbc news. >> well, we know it's big weekend for getting that christmas tree. why you may need to bring some extra cash this year. >> new at 5:00, early numbers coming in on black friday deals where people are finding the best bargains and the jump in demand for one hot item. >> local businesses gearing up for small business saturday. just ahead on news4, everything from paper products to cocktails. this one empty. bu we'll showt
