to clean away odors for up to 30 days. breathe happy with febreze. and that breaking news out of prince george's county. police there investigating a murder-suicide involving a mother and her son. we're told officers went to do a welfare check last night at a home in the area of country ward court and sheriff road in hyattsville, just down the road from the king shopping center. police say the two were found severely injured. they both died at the scene. we're going to update you as we learn more. that is an unfortunate story to start out with on this sunday morning, but good morning to you, and thank you so much for joining us. i am adam tusk. this is david culver. this is not an imagination. this is not a figment of your imagination. we are together on the set. >>

>> good to see you, man. >> let's keep it clean. >> let's just get to weather now as quickly as possible before something between us happens. i don't want to rile it up on this sunday morning. i want it to be uplifting. i want it to be positive. let's just get along for this next hour? >> i'm positive! >> i think it's an hour. >> i thought i was being positive. >> we're going to be here for a couple hours. >> storm team 4 meteorologist lauryn ricketts who is here for the weather. she'll referee between the two of us all day. >> thank goodness i'm -- >> you've got a big day ahead. >> and don't think i didn't prepare for this already. thank goodness i'm in the weather center now, i see the tension brewing between you guys. i think some people will have some tension when they step outside with the weather, because yesterday we made it to 60 degrees. today, 40s, that's it. 48 is our temperature right now. we've got a west wind at 6 miles an hour, so it hasn't picked up yet, but winds are going to pick up just after that sun comes up, and that sun comes up right after about 7:00

so if you're headed to brunch, temperatures are going to be in the 40s. it's going to be much cooler with this wind that we're going to have, so winds picking up today. in fact, we'll see some gusts up to about 30 miles an hour, so much cooler out there, but we have a warm-up on the way, so we'll be talking about temperatures for the rest of the workweek as we head back to work or travel home. your forecast is coming up in a few minutes. >> all right, i'll need you in the studio as quickly as possible. your time now 6:02. let's get to the headlines now. all new this morning, a disturbing scene out of dupont circle. someone shot a man in the face. d.c. police are now looking for a person in a black sedan that took off from that scene. it happened at dupont circle and massachusetts avenue just after 1:00 this morning. emergency crews rushed the man to the hospital. he was conscious and breathing at the time. police are at a loss. they need your help. if you know anything, give them a call. a george mason university student's cap and gown will never be seen because this morning her fami

her funeral. she was hit and killed by a car just steps from her home. her friend wants her to be remembered as a wholesome people. >> reporter: samantha ibvall was weeks away from graduating from george mason university. monday night she got off the metro at the minnesota avenue station, walked across the pedestrian bridge, and was crossing here at kenilworth terrace, just steps from home, when she was struck. she died friday afternoon. kevin rodriguez is a close friend. >> i messaged her that i want to be there for her graduation. she purchased a gown, a hat, and she was, like, trying those things on. so it came out of nowhere. >> reporter: she graduated from wilson high school in northwest d.c. in 2012. she was excited about getting her global affairs degree from mason in december. friends and relatives say after graduating from mason, she wanted to work for the state department to travel across the world to help people in the middle east and in asia. rodriguez says she was invol

connection on campus. this was the last photo they took together, just two days before she was hit. >> i could go on with adjectives from the dictionary to define her as a person, and that's police. so far, that driver is not facing any charges, but the investigation continues. three young children from the same family go missing after thanksgiving. now d.c. police need help finding them. missing are 8-year-old lenk anda rice a

leandra and their 14-year-old brother, landrell. they were last seen on south dakota avenue on thanksgiving and police say they were not reported missing until friday. they may be with their mom, emily rice. check your carbon monoxide detectors this morning. this comes after crews evacuated an apartment building on third street southwest in d.c. because of a leak. people inside were warned that their detectors went off. firefighters did have to go door to door to get some folks out. the building had to be ventilated before anybody could go back in and continue their night's rest. time is 6:05 on this sunday morning. and if it's sunday, of course, it's "meet the press." chuck todd is going to have an exclusive interview with anita hill this morning and will also talk with house minority leader nancy pelosi and ohio senator rob portman. he's going to join us right here on news4 a bit later this hour, and you can see "meet the press" at 10:30 right here on "news4 today." well, we have some new and horrific details emerging about friday's terror

egypt mosque. more than 300 people died. nbc's bill neely is in cairo, where people have little doubt that isis was behind all this. i want to warn you that some of this video may be difficult to watch. >> reporter: this was a massacre of the innocent. 27 children killed, others injured, and like so many here, traumatized. survivors describe the screams as more than 300 people were killed. the chief cleric of the mosque saw a terrifying stampede. the gunmen, he said, were firing at anyone who breathed. a local teacher told nbc news the gunfire lasted 45 minutes. authorities say up to 30 gunmen were firing through all the windows and doors. there was no way out. [ sirens ] isis has yet to claim the attack, but it's the only group in sinai capable of mobilizing 30 gunmen, who

group's black flag before opening fire. isis has lost its so-called caliphate in iraq and syria, but it's been gaining strength in libya, egypt, yemen, and somalia. >> the isis affiliate in egypt is the most potent affiliate outside of syria and iraq. they have more than 1,000 operatives, skilled, fanatical. >> reporter: egyptian warplanes bombing vehicles reportedly used in the attack, but most gunmen escaped. none have been caught. this was the darkest day of terror in egypt's modern history. a country mourning and facing the most ruthless enemy within. and this country really matters. it is the arab world's most populous country, nearly 100 million people, and there is a war in it right now, and it's a war that egypt's army and its leader isn't winning. isis here a real threat.

>> bill neely reporting in egypt this morning. all right, let's give you a live look outside now on this sunday. headed to brunch, perhaps? we've got lauryn ricketts tracking your storm team 4 forecast, what you can look forward to weatherwise in just a moment. and it looks like wizards point guard john wall is going to be on the bench for a while. we're going to give you a timetable on his return, coming up when "news4 today" continues. i'll let david stick around, because this is my show, sunday mornings. >> very kind ofou. y

welcome back. bad news for the wizards. not having the best of luck these days. not only have they lost three of the past four, but now they have lost john wall. for the next two weeks. if you know him, you know he's a pretty good player in the nba. he will be receiving multiple injections to release fluid built up in his knee.

he had knee-to-knee contact during the game with memphis earlier this month. if he recovers on top, wall should be able to return december 9th when the team faces the clippers in los angeles. tough break there. meanwhile, from basketball to football, the skins are off on this football sunday, but they're gearing up for a prime rivalry game. they're going to take on dallas. the cowboys on thursday. it will be at fedex field. you'll be able to catch all the action on the channel you're watching ree ining right now, n. it will be the second time this season for two teams to face off, those two teams in particular, and it will hopefully provide a chance for the skins to redeem themselves from their loss back in october. did you see lauryn ricketts? she was at the skins game on thursday night. >> i saw that she had the moon boots on. have you ever seen ricketts' moon boots? >> i've seen the moon walk. >> we'll have to do that later. do you have a moon walk in you? >> no. have you seen these moon boots? they're like this big, the bottoms are that big.

i'd fall down and get hurt. >> well, you were there thursday night and they won. >> that's what i do, bring luck. maybe i'll have to talk to the bosses to get me down there for the dallas game. the redskins aren't playing today, but we have plenty of football across the united states. and if you are traveling as well, we've got plenty of dry weather out there. but no, if you're leaving from the d.c. area, it is going to be a little breezy throughout the mid-atlantic and even into the eastern shore and pretty much all throughout the east coast because we had a frontal system pass through the area yesterday. well, i'd say early this morning. and then behind that front, this is what we get. yesterday we were at 60 and now we're in the 40s and this is where we'll stay throughout the day. temperatures aren't going to move too much. i think maybe we in d.c. can make it up to 50 degrees today, but that's about it. so if you're shopping out there, it's going to be blustery because the winds have started to pick up just a little bit. they'll really pick up after about 7:00. that's when the sun comes up. we'll have wind gusts up t

and with temperatures in the 40s, you know we have a little bit of a windchill. so if you're running errands later this afternoon, winds will calm after 7:00, but again, dealing with temperatures in the 40s. you'll definitely need the sunglasses because we'll have plenty of sunshine. no rain today. we're looking dry. even right now we're dry on the radar. today's forecast, i went with 50 here in d.c. a lot of areas stuck in the 40s. we're going to be brisk and blustery, but plenty of sunshine. windchills will be in the 30s to low 40s through the day today. monday the wind dies down as you get back to work and school. temperatures a little chilly tomorrow morning when you wake up, temperatures in the 30s, but we will warm into the mid-50s tomorrow, so doing a little bit better than today for tomorrow, mid-50s, all sunshine and mild with a much lighter wind. and then we gradually build that warmth as we go through this week. 60 on tuesday, 61 on wednesday. look at this, fairly mild for this workweek. we drop a little bit on wednesday into thursday as a dry frontal system comes through the area. d

rain showers on friday, but that's it. even into next weekend we are looking dry. guys? >> all right, thanks, ricketts. that does it for us. 15 minutes, we're done, right? >> i can leave and you can just finish the show, how about that? >> well, we have "reporters notebook" next and we'll come back after that, right? >> 15 minutes. back with the morning's top stories after that. you got it, dave. >> i got this. good morning. i'm pat lawson muse. as sexual harassment allegations against powerful men sweep the country like a tsunami, capitol hill is rocked with claims against a sitting senator, a republican senate candidate, and the top democrat in the house, accused of firing an aide for rejecting his advances. tom sherwood and scott mcfarland are with us this morning. and scott, we can only imagine the mood on capitol hill. how would you characterize what's going on? >> here's what strikes me. we're at a time in congress, we're at a time of year in congress where a lot of important things are happening. they've got to keep the government from shutting down.

front of them for votes. there's enormously important legislative things to be done, and all the attention internally and externally on congress is about sex harassment right now. that's how profound an issue it is there. i don't believe anybody in america is surprised that the u.s. capitol, like every other facet of america, will have some level of sexual harassment. it's pervasive in the country. of course it would exist in congress as well. but i think what's surprising to a lot of people who monitor congress and look at the citizens is how opaque this system is. members of congress have been able to, and so have their staffers, settle sex harassment cases without their names being named and without any personal financial liability. in the cases that have been reported so far, it is taxpayers who are footing the bill for sex harassment by their elected leaders. i think the lack of transparency is what is striking people, not the fact that there is some level of sex harassment in a place like the congress. >> and these confidentiality agreements, too, it's just -- >> well, that's how you hide things, you have confidentiality em

get you to sign a form that you won't discuss it, but the question is, we now have seen what the problem is, but are there going to be any fixes? >> there is legislation drafted both in the u.s. senate and the u.s. house to, among the other things, change that confidentiality clause issue, to make sure that names are named and that money is spent personally from the members of congress for harassment. we'll see where that goes. you know, i expect a rather quick acceleration in momentum behind that bill, and so far, not so much. five co-sponsors to the u.s. house version of that bill, four co-sponsors to the u.s. senate version of that bill. we'll see if it picks up when members of congress return after the holiday break. >> you're talking about the me too legislation. >> the me too legislation. and by senator gillibrand of new york in the senate. >> and the danger could be this storm of complaints now pushes to change the legislation, change the laws, the way they operate, is by the time it gets into the spring or early summe

watered down. i mean, people have to say this is a moment for the entire nati nation. i would think the congress in this case going into 2018 and all of the elections that are going to be up, that they should not try to sweep this under any kind of rug. >> and especially, we learned there were hundreds of settlements for workplace violations in the past 20 years that are costing millions, costing the taxpayers millions. >> yeah, in the last 20 years, taxpayers have spent about $17 million on settlements for issues on the hill. that could be in large part sexual harassment issues. it could be a series of other things as well, but there's some subset of those cases that were sexual harassment. taxpayers pay it, and you don't know who the offenders were. and again, it's a lack of transparency that is dogging the congress and could be what they have to change first. >> well, it's important to note that many people will file these complaints, women and/or men, who do not want to be publicly identified. so is there a way to have -- to identify the member of congress

person who's been the victim already to be victimized twice with all the publicity about it? >> that's the issue also. one of the remedies available to people who are harassed on the hill is you can, you do have the option, after 90 days of waiting, to file a federal lawsuit against the member of congress. that avenue is always available to somebody who's harassed, but can you get that lawsuit sealed? or does your name have to go public? and that is a disincentive to a lot of people from coming forward. i spoke briefly with somebody who filed a suit -- the attorney for somebody who filed against a texas member of congress and the lawyer said she just doesn't want her name out there anymore. she's tired of having her name out there, a disincentive to filing suit. calling all landlords, d.c. needs you to help with a campaign to find permanent housing for 400 homeless households by the start of the new year. tenants with housing vouchers simply need landlords who are willing to let them move in. tom, this was your story. the mayor's been trying to shut down d.c. general,

there for some time. this program would help. tell us how it works. >> this is a special effort. the mayor's been trying to focus on homeless families and individuals for the entire term she's been in office, but this is to get 400 families or individuals from the middle of november to january 1st into more permanent housing. the city changed its policy a couple years ago and said we've got to do housing first. we can't give social services to someone who has no place to stay. we can't help children who are not going to school. so we want to first get them in a home. i went and saw this mother of two, single mother of two, who's now in a $1,600-a-month apartment, two bedrooms, one bath. the city's going to pay her rent initially. she'll pay what she can, if she gets on her feet. the kids get to go down to school right down the street. they get to be part of a community. if they were to put this family, mother and two kids, into a hotel, as they have been doing, that would be $4,800 a month and be very disruptive. so, that's what the pointf

is. they're trying home for the holidays, they call it, they're just trying to get more people into permanent homes so they can get their lives together. >> landlords are reluctant to -- >> that's the issue is landlords are, you know, landlords are concerned that somebody will be put into their unit and then the city won't follow up and the person might not take care of the unit, their rent may not be paid. so the city's taking care of one part by saying we'll pay their rent up front and then we'll work with the renter to get it back. but the landlords just don't want to take the risk because they're worried about bureaucracy, but it's a good opportunity now. the woman we spoke to, i won't say her name, but she has a small cleaning business and she takes care of her kids, and then she also works for a non-profit to help feed theory in the city. so, she's certainly deserving of a place to stay with her children and she's trying to make the best of it, and the mayor says this is what we need to do to help people, not wait until they get thrown out on to the street. when we come back, d.c.'s

350 guns missing in the dnc since 2011. it's a disturbing trend, guns stolen from people and police. most of the weapons are almost impossible to trace or recover until they turn up at the scene of a violent crime. scott, the i-team discovered these crime rings out there, brazenly stealing guns from police and gun owners. what are the gun stores doing to keep criminals out and what are police doing to keep their guns under lock and key? >> guns are attractive for thieves, always have been, perhaps always will be. and thieves recognize when they see a police cruiser, be it marked or unmarked, there's probably a firearm inside, so those cruisers are targeted. our investi

from local police since 2011. some had been recovered, some not, including one taken from an fbi vehicle last summer in northeast d.c. the gun stores are well secured, but also not impervious to criminals. i think it just speaks to some people are no longer allowed to have guns, can't get guns the legal way, so they'll find any other way to get a firearm. >> they're sending federal legislation to toughen the penalties on gun store thieves. what does the law say about reporting stolen guns here in the d.c. area? >> so, federal law does have a number of codes to try to mitigate or prevent or reduce the amount of gun deaths that happen. gun deaths do seem somewhat inevitable. we know in the district, there's obviously a higher standard to get a firearm. that's changed based on a court ruling, but also they say that incentivized theft in the district because it is a higher bar to clear to get a firearm for your home or car. >> get one for free? >>

crime, they also incentivize other crime. >> in virginia, the new governor-elect is going to try to get back to the one gun a month program that governor wilder had for a while that got thrown out. there are a lot of ways you can address guns without interfering with the second amendment rights. >> what are the penalties for not reporting them, stolen? >> i'm not sure what the penalties are for that. we do know not reporting a firearm stolen is a public safety issue, obviously, especially if you're in law enforcement. i don't believe we came across any circumstances where police or law enforcement were not reporting them stolen or loss, and they do make the reports public. i'll give law epp forcement credit, they are transparent about this. nobody pulled out the card of, oh, this is a safety risk if we tell you the answer to that question, scott. we can't tell you how many firearms have been lost. they'll answer that question, so there is transparency about this, but it is pervasive nationwide. it's not a local problem, per se. we experience it like they do around the country. >> wdo

>> yes, so people obviously need to report their firearms missing or stolen en and law enforceme officers are not immune to that. but if you have a gun and it's stolen, law enforcement wants to know that. >> but if it's not registered in the city, you don't want to report it because you have an unregistered firearm. big improvements at the war memorial dedicated by president eisenhower in 1964. it's undergone a $6 million restoration from new landscaping and an access path unveiled in the spring. changes from the marine corps and park service include adding afghanistan and iraq to the list of wars marines have fought since 1775. >> it's really amazing. i never get tired of going to that memorial overlooking the city, but afghanistan and iraq are the only two battles where there is no end date. all the other ones, going back to 1775, there's an end date. right now there's just a space. they left it on the memoriaso

someday afghanistan war, which has been around since 2001, will be over. the iraq war, around sis 2003, maybe one day will be over. i talked to a commandant of the marine corps. he said from this thanksgiving weekend and the holidays, people should remember, we have people fighting and dying every day of the year. >> and the restoration was made possible by another generous donation from david rubenstein. >> david rubenstein stepped up again, about $6 million. all the gold leaf, all the weather pock marks in the statues and all that are done. the landscaping will be done next spring. it's a beautiful memorial. it's a heartfelt memorial, and it's going to be great that it's fixed. >> it's an example, though, also, of how private money is often needed to maintain our national treasures. i think there's a mistaken belief that there's a bottomless pit of money that they can draw to make sure our memorials are all pristine and opened on time. there isn't. there is private

there are pitches, sales pitches, almost, to get people to donate money to help restore or construct america's memorials. i believe there's a mistaken idea that the park service has an endless reserve of cash. >> the park service tells me there is a $12 billion with a "b," backlog across the country in the national parks, memorials, and all types of things of things that need to be done. this is when people talk about infrastructure and things we ought to get done, these are some examples. >> let's talk about arlington national cemetery. i was surprised to read that this year there aren't enough sponsors for wreathes for the soldiers and others who are laid to rest there. about 88,000 are taking part so far in the wreath program. 245,000 graves. >> i'm surprised, you would think corporations and other groups would be falling all over themselves to donate to this. i wonder what happened to the fund-raising effort. i don't think people just turne

i was at the marine corps memorial, you have to drive by arlington where you see all the tombstones, and it's a remarkable space in our country, and i'm really surprised that the wreathes are not there. >> yeah. thank you, gentlemen. and thank you for watching "reporters notebook." i'm pat lawson muse. "news4 today" continues. right now heading into the 6:30 segment of "news4 today," prince george's police are investigating a murder-suicide involving a mother and her son. we're told officers went to do a welfare check saturday night in the area of countrywood court and sheriff road in hyattsville. police say they were found severely injured and died at the scene. to egypt now, where they have declared three days of mourning following friday's mosque terror attack. more than 300 people lost their lives. is

television history. >> some people will say i don't see how people confuse you, but then we do have a lot of similarities. we're both jesuit educated men. >> that's correct. >> we both get carded. >> until we're 50. >> at movies, mostly. >> yes. >> it's just that youthful look. but you know what, we're going to get through this today, because i think a lot of people are worried about our feud from the klondikegate. we're going to push through that. >> we have a lot of time left. >> already i'm feeling better about this. i'm feeling better. i feel like -- >> he's going to help us out with the music and everything. and it's a good thing we have storm team 4's lauryn ricketts here to referee between us. but we love each other here. we're all one big family here at news4. >> that's the thing. that's so great! i know, i've been sitting in the newsroom and people have been calling. this is one big, happy family, but this is funny. we could not wait to get adam and david on the desk together because people mix them up all the time. it's so funny. and of course, with your klondikegate, whatever that

side you have also with donald trump. the point is, both parties now have sort of hypocrisy to deal with on this issue, and i think the question is, which one is going to try to get the high ground, right? because they both have different points to rational support of somebody on their side -- well, give them time, let them explain themselves, as long as they're a vote for their side. and that is the -- when are we going to get to the point on sexual harassment, sexual assault on women, where party and ideology doesn't matter anymore? i don't think -- i mean, that's what we're learning this week. >> let me switch gears when it comes to a more pressing country than tuss asked. let's talk about thanksgiving break and congress coming out of it. tax reform is going to be on the agenda. >> look, congress is going to get a lot of stuff done, and they have to deal with the fact that, i'm sorry, i think if we think franken and conyers are it -- >> yeah. >> -- you've got another think coming. i think the likelihood that more

congressman with a selfie problem, right, a nude photo. there's going to be more of that. so, the next three weeks before the christmas break, essentially, you're going to have every member -- i don't know about every member of congress, but a lot of members of congress looking over their shoulders, checking their iphones, wondering, oh, my god, am i next? >> right. >> you have the fact that they have to keep the government open. we have the deal on daca that we're still waiting to find out about. the republicans worried about losing a vote in the u.s. senate with the alabama senate race, are trying to accelerate the tax proposal. so, i would say this is going to be a frenetic three weeks under normal circumstances, but the anvil that's sitting above the head of members of congress with their own personal lives, i think it's just going to be a crazy -- >> are you getting the sense that they're legitimately nervous that something might come out? >> no, i'm just -- yes. there is a lot of -- i think there is a lot of demand. we know there's at least half a dozen settlements that were kept

i think the pressure to expose these folks publicly has never been greater, and i think you have more reporters working on this. so, i think it's just adding to what is going to be a pretty toxic mix of political mess. >> yeah. it is unbelievable. you wake up day to day and -- >> every day you check in, you're like, you know, whether it's a "hollywood reporter" alert about somebody out west, a "politico" report about somebody in congress. you're like, when are we going to hit bottom? i don't think we have yet. >> okay. >> the holiday season, too. all of this coming down. >> absolutely. >> there you go. all right, guys. >> thanks for stopping by. reminder, you can see "meet the press," every sunday right here at 10:30 right after "news4 today." chuck, thanks so much. your time is 6:44. there is a new type of prescription that definitely can't be found in a drugstore. it's a kind of natural healing you can only find outside. nbc's medical correspondent dr. john torres explains this new remedy.

>> blueberries? what other kind of berries do we normally find on this path? >> reporter: for lauren huddle and her family, a day like today used to feel impossible. >> i have pretty bad anxiety and depression, too. i just wanted to stay inside and not do much, and it wasn't working. it was getting worse and worse. >> reporter: lauren's 9-year-old son was dealing with similar issues, so the huddles' family physician wrote them a prescription, not for pills or drugs, but for a big dose of mother nature. five times a week, spend 30 minutes at this park near their home. >> now, i consider it more important than any medication i can prescribe. >> reporter: it's a growing field of medicine called ecotherapy. pediatrician dr. robert czar started park rx america, a national initiative which now includes more than 50 doctors in 11 states. why not just go to a gym? what's the evidence behind going outside? >> scientists have actually looked at this, and what we've found out is that moving out doors is actually better, more

health than moving indoors. >> reporter: studies show ecotherapy can help patients with depression, attention deficit disorder, and chronic diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure. and for kids who now spend more time than ever staring at screens, damaging their eyes, leak around at trees and leaves can actually protect their vision. so, how do you get the most effective dose of nature? patients should focus on three key elements -- sounds of birds chirping, visuals of trees and leaves, and the sound of streams or rivers. >> we're starting to see nature and parks not just as a place to recreate, but literally as a place to heal yourself. >> reporter: lauren huddle got her prescription just three weeks ago. >> going out there a little bit by little bit, i noticed my temperament was better and my anxiety started to greatly decrease. >> reporter: when good health is as simple -- >> he's still going! can you catch up to him? >> reporter: -- as a walk in the park. dr.

washington. >> i love a good walk. >> who doesn't love a good walk? do you love a good walk, david? >> you should go for a walk right now. >> when lauryn does her thing. >> check you later. >> thank goodness you're here! >> you balance us. >> i know! >> i think we just have to keep explaining what's going on here, because david and i never sit together. >> never. >> and people are confusing us on the street all the time. >> all the time. >> they love his transportation coverage. they love my trip to cuba. >> that was phenomenal, by the way. >> great stuff. >> but that's why we're making kind of a joke about all this this morning, that we're up here and you know, it's good to see each other. we all love each other. people are writing, like they really don't like each other. we love each other. everything's okay. >> it's just funny. >> if i blink twice, you notice dave -- >> good actor. >> what have you got in the weather? >> i've got breedsy conditions. >> oh, yeah? >> are you ready for that? >> i'm ready for that. >> got a workout, too? >> let's keep talking about you guys. >> maybe you should go out to the weather deck. >> you kth

full disclosure, i hate to go outside when it's cold. at about 9:30, i'll bet they're going to send me outside. i always forget my jacket. who would have thought i always forget my jacket. let's talk about the weather, because it's chilly! so grab your jacket this morning. the sun is just coming up right now. beautiful sky out there. sun coming up just about 7:00. it's going to be gorgeous out there as we continue through the day. now, the winds are picking up through the day, so we do have a gusty day out there. now, temperatures gradually warming as we continue through this week. temperatures today are going to be in the 40s. then we get into midweek we'll start to see a gradual rise in temperatures monday, tuesday and wednesday. we've got lots of sunshine out there and really no rain chances. oh, that says weather alert. we've got no rain chances until we head into friday. temperatures right now, at 48 here in washington. i'm not really sure about this temperature. i just saw that when i was on wtop. burt again, it's chilly in ft. meade. i'm not sure they're at 42. that sensor may not be working. but again, temperatures pretty much in the 40s at this point. so, if yo

shopping again today, temperatures remaining in the 40s. that's about as good as we're going to get. plenty of sunshine. it will be a little blustery, especially compared to yesterday. yesterday we made it up to 60 degrees. now, we do not have any rain out there. we're going to have full sunshine out there today. so, if you are decorating, just know it is going to be blustery, but we're going to have plenty of sunshine. football watching, you're just fine. maybe zoo lights or the area lighting festivities we have out there, especially at night. bundle up. sun goes down just about 4:48 p.m. temperatures are going to be around 50 degrees today. and with the wind, we could feel more like the 30s and low 40s with that windchill. but the wind dying down after about 5:00, 6:00 tonight, and we have a light wind overnight and a light wind through the day tomorrow. as you make your way back to work, looking good. plenty of sunshine around tomorrow, much warmer, temperatures in the mid-50s for tomorrow. and again, plenty of sunshine. fairly mild out there. and if you are traveling today, again, not only blustery around here, but pretty much throughout

blustery conditions, so watch that wind as you're on the road, but you're not going to have to worry about any rain. maybe a few spotty snow showers in new england and rain in the pacific northwest, but the rest of the united states quiet. and we're quiet as we continue through this week. look at this, tuesday, wednesday, we're at 60 degrees. we take it down a few notches on thursday, but by friday, another chance of rain and pretty much our only chance of rain this week. we've got more news right on the sheride of this break. getting bread delivered is way easier than hiring real bakers... ...who work all night and morning to bake fresh brioche buns. you deserve a breakfast made with respect. try the new bacon, egg, and cheese on brioche. panera. food as it should be.

event. >> see, this is why we don't push buttons. you have a director who actually knows what to do with something like that. >> blaming eun for that? >> there's always next year. >> that one is david. holiday spirit is on full explain in tenleytown. all the stores along wisconsin avenue decorated with winter themes. you're looking at the content winner, middle seal music, the legend of the tenley yeti. you can check it out and all of the others along that strip all season long, if you've got some time. pretty cool. >> i like it. >> i do, too. >> all right. for a second year in a row, montreal, canada, displaying a christmas tree that, let's say it's not quite perfect. >> really? >> yeah. >> nbc's sarah levet went to montreal to check it out and find out how locals really feel about this interesting christmas tree. check it out. >> reporter: putting a star at the top of this tree might be hard. it's the centerpiece of what organizers are calling the ti

christmas market. passersby see different things of the tree. >> the sorting hat from "harry potter." >> the half of an elf. >> i think it's a tree with personali personality. >> reporter: remember last year's tree? it was supposed to rival new york city's rockefeller spruce. instead, montreal made headlines for all the wrong reasons. so, what kind of headlines do you expect from this year's tree? >> here we just want to celebrate diversity and celebrate imperfection. so if we've got some other nights like this, it's all good. and it's just like an open debate. >> reporter: the droop is deliberate. >> i kind of like the looks of something that's a little bit more interesting these days. >> in my head, it would be large, full of lots of colored lights and ornaments, the exact opposite of the monstrosity behind me. >> i think what you do with it is what makes it a special tree. >> reporter: and besides selling christmas trees to montrealers, the village will also be selling ugly vegetables. the point, that nature is perfectly im

down she goes. >> look at that. proof that i actually went out and cut down my own christmas tree. you know, i anchored on friday morning, and sheena parveen was giving me a hard time because they didn't think i was going to go do it. i went out in the woods, chopped this down. my 7-year-old filmed it, that's why her fingers keep getting in the shot here, but down goes the tree. and you know, the funny thing about cutting down your own christmas tree, they look a lot bigger when you get them in your house. . >> you know, your form is phenomenal, for one. >> thank you. i appreciate that. >> you are really doing a nice job. the only thing i would point out is that is actually federally protected land, so that's a federal offense there. other than that, great job. >> we'll be sending out apologies for that later on. but yeah, it's a beautiful tree, and that's a fun thing to do. took the whole family out there yesterday. >> are you going to decorate it, too?

the nation's capital, justabout and at 7:00, breaking news from prince george's county. police there investigating a murder-suicide involving a mother and her son. we're told officers went to do a welfare check last night at a home in the area of countrywood court and sheriff road in hyattsville, just a few miles from fedex field. now, police say the two were found severely injured. they both died at the scene. we'll update you as we get more information. that is a tough story to start off on this sunday morning, but do want to thank you so much for joining us as the sun starts to come up over d.c. i'm adam tuss. >> and i'm david culver. angie goff is the one you can blame for this this morning. >> her baby -- >> had her third beautiful child, but she's continuing her

time off this morning and we are going to continue to keep you u morning. a busy overnight as you heard at the start of the show, but let's get to storm team 4's lauryn ricketts. she's tracking the forecast, a chilly start as well. >> what's up with the wind? >> the wind's picking up. it's going to be with us all day today, and definitely colder compared to yesterday. yesterday we made it to 60 degrees. our average temperature is in the low to mid-50s for this time of year. today temperatures are going to be in the 40s. tomorrow back in the mid-50s. so today we get a little bump in that weather in terms of how just chilly it's going to be, but boy, it's beautiful out there! that sun coming up just in about two minutes officially, but you can already start to see it on the horizon. beautiful sky color out there right now. temperatures, ooh, chilly. 47 right now. and the wind hasn't quite picked up yet. we'll continue to see it increase now that the sun has come up and we're going to have a windchill through much of the day today. so as you wake up this morning, temperatures staying in the 40s. that is it. i do have a chance that here in

d.c. we may make it to 50 staying in the 40s, that is it. we will have plenty of sunshine, just blustery. we'll talk about when the winds die down and our next chance of rain, coming up in about 15 minutes. guys. >> lauryn, thanks. all new, a frightening scene in dupont circle after somebody shot a man in the face. police are searching for a man in a black sedan who took off from the scene at dupont circle and massachusetts avenue. it happened at 1:00 this morning. the man was taken to the hospital, conscious and breathing at that time. if you know anything, police want to hear from you. meanwhile, a george mason university student's cap and gown will never be seen on the graduation stage because this morning her family is planning her funeral. she was killed by a car just steps from her home. darcy spencer soak with her close friend who wants her to be remembered as a wholesome person. >> reporter: samantha igvall was weeks away from graduating from george mason university.

monday night she got off the metro at the minnesota avenue pedestrian bridge, and was crossing here at kenilworth terrace just steps from home when she was struck. she died friday afternoon. kevin rodriguez is a close friend. >> i messaged her that i want to be there for her graduation. she purchased a gown, a hat, and she was trying those things on. so, it came out of nowhere. >> reporter: igvall graduated from wilson high school in northwest dchth d d.c. in 2012. she was excited about getting her global affairs degree from mason in december. friends and relatives say after graduating from mason, she wanted to work for the state department to travel across the world to help people in the middle east and in asia. rodrigues says she was involved in the international friendship connection on campus. this was the last photo they took together, just two days before she was hit. >> i could go on with adjectives from the dictionary to define her as a person, and that's why it's such a terrible loss,

because i'm pretty sure all of her friends can second me on >> reporter: samantha came to the united states from bangladesh when she was 14. her family now asking for prayers as they plan for her burial service. >> she was a very, very wholesome person, personalitywise, very kind, and i would want her to be remembered as that, someone who wanted to serve the world. >> reporter: in fairfax, darcy spencer, news 4. >> the driver of the car that hit her did stop to call police. so far, that driver is not facing any charges, but the investigation continues. if you've got a moment, take a look at your screen. three young children from the same family went missing after thanksgiving. now d.c. police need your help finding them. missing are 8-year-old leanna rice, her 11-year-old sister, leandra, and their 14-year-old brother, andrell, last seen thanksgiving day at south carolina avenue northeast. d.c. police say relatives did not report them missing until friday. the children may be with their

mom, emily ri morning to check your carbon monoxide detectors. it comes after this apartment building was evacuated on third street southwest in d.c. because of a carbon monoxide leak. so, folks inside were warned because they had detectors that were working and they went off. firefighters, they did have to go door to door to get some folks out. the building had to be ventilated before anyone could return home. this morning the very agency that's supposed to be above politics is at the center of a political fight. the drama is over who will be the next director of the consumer financial protection bureau agency. richard cordray resigned from the agency and named the agency's chief of staff to the post of deputy director, but president trump didn't exactly like that decision. he intervened and appointed management and budget director mick mulvaney to run the agency on an interim basis. the president's appointment, you see, goes against the 2010 dodd/frank rewrite, which says the deputy director would serve as acting director.

despite decision is legal. >> this agency isolated completely from congress? >> well, they're funded by the fed, so congress, republican congress, certainly doesn't like that, so there's a lot of consumers and consumer groups concerned about how are we going to protect the average american. >> cordray, by the way, is expected to run for governor of ohio in 2018. and i want to remind you that this morning on "meet the press," chuck todd will have an exclusive interview with anita hill and also have conversations with house minority leader nancy pelosi and ohio senator rob portman. he's going to join us right here on news4 later on in the show. and a reminder, you can see "meet the press" every sunday at 10:30 right here after "news4 today." we have some new and horrific details emerging about friday's terror attack at an egypt mosque. more than 300 people died. nbc's bill neely is in cairo, where people have little doubt that isis was behind all this. i want to warn you here that

some of the video is difficult to watch. of the innocent. 27 children killed, others injured, and like so many here, traumatized. survivors described the screams as more than 300 people were killed. the chief cleric of the mosque saw terrifying stampede. "the gunman," he said, "were firing at anyone who breathed." a local teacher told nbc news the gunfire lasted 45 minutes. authorities say up to 30 gunmen were firing through all the windows and doors. there was no way out. [ sirens ] isis has yet to claim the attack, but it's the only group in sinai capable of mobilizing 30 gunmen, who raised the group's black flag before opening fire. isis has lost its so-called caliphate in iraq and syria, but it's been gaining strength in libya, egypt, yemen, and somalia. >> the isis affiliate in egypt

is the m outside of syria and iraq. they have more than 1,000 operatives, killed, fanatical. >> egyptian warplanes bombing vehicles reportedly used in the attack, but most gunmen escaped. none have been caught. this was the darkest day of terror in egypt's modern history. a country mourning and facing the most ruthless enemy within. and this country really matters. it is the arab world's most populous country. nearly 100 million people. and there is a war in it right now, and it's a war that egypt's army and its leader isn't winning. isis here a real threat. >> bill neely reporting this morning from egypt. 7:08 your time now. we look live outside. what have you got planned today? going to go to brunch? >> yeah! >> maybe head out to sunday services?

nespresso. what else? welcome back. the wizards getting some bad luck these days. not only have they lost three of the past four, but now they may have lost john wall for a while. he's expected to be out for at least the next two weeks. the nba point guard will be receiving multiple injections to reduce fluid that is built up in his knee. inflammation started when wall had knee-to-knee contact during the game against the mavericks earlier this month. now, if he recovers on time, wall should be able to return december 9th, when they go up against the clippers in los

angeles. tough break there for the football, the skins, they are off on this sunday. of course, they played on thanksgiving day. >> that's right. >> they won. and gearing up for another prime rivalry. >> it's going to be this thursday against the dallas cowboys. you're going to be able to catch all the action right here. yeah. you're already watching the right channel. keep it on through thursday, nbc 4. it's going to be the second time this season for those two teams to face off, and it will hopefully provide a chance for the redskins to redeem themselves from their loss that was back in october. >> yeah. cowboys are not doing so well right now. we're not really crying for the cowboys. >> never around here. >> uh-uh. >> your time now 7:12 on this sunday. we're tracking your storm team 4 forecast. maybe you're planning to get out and enjoy some of the day after, of course, our newscast. we'll tell you how you need to dress in just a moment. >> that's right. you need to be with us, straight through to 10:30, at least, then "meet the press" after that. and the news4 i-team is uncovering how criminals are targeting the police. we're going to tell you about the investigation that they have

just wrapped well, if you're headed out for maybe a jog this morning or just want to go out and exercise today, just one thing that you need to know about today, it is going to be a lot more windy than it was yesterday. temperatures today are going to be in the 40s. that's about as good as they're going to get, but plenty of sunshine out there, but again, layer up, because we're going to have a little bit of a windchill. we'll talk about when the winds

will die down and our next chance of some rain, all coming about four minutes. >> you got it, lauryn. thank you very much. police protect our families and our streets, and they carry a badge and a gun, of course, but a news4 i-team investigation reveals local crooks by the hundreds that have successfully targeted the cops. >> news4's i-team reporter scott mcfarland, he says that they're not going after the money, but something else, something that puts all of us at risk. >> reporter: the what-ifs are disturbing. it felt like a normal school day earlier this year at albert einstein high school in kensington, until the call came. parents like cynthia. >> we always talk about the worst that can happen. >> reporter: a school resource officer stopped a student in a car acting suspiciously. the 18-year-old ran. >> we don't know the person's intent, but you always think what if, what if the person had brought it into the school, what if the person had used it in the school?

>> reporter: police discovered not only was the car stolen, but alvarado had a stolen ar-15 assault rifle. alvarado has pleaded not guilty to a federal firearms charge. perhaps even more surprising for parents is from where and from whom the gun found here was taken. police say it was stolen a week earlier from the cops, from rockville police. these weren't stolen from a marked cruiser. >> no, these were stolen from an unmarked detective's vehicle. >> reporter: out front of his house. >> yes. >> reporter: the news4 i-team found law enforcement is often targeted by criminals for their firearms. using the freedom of information act, we requested firearms logs from nearly two dozen local and federal police departments, and we found that rockville police is more than 350 local and federal police guns stolen or lost just since 2011. nearly three dozen in d.c., 28 in prince george's county, 10 in alexandria, 8 from virginia state police, 6 in prince william, 5 in montgomery, 4 from metro transit police.

>> individuals that are known to the targets. >> reporter: kevin o'keefe is chief of operational intelligence with the atf and says as with private gun owners, police weapons can often be the target of a car break-in. >> i think people breaking into cars are looking for anything of value. >> five of the six stolen in fairfax county since 2012 were taken from officers' cars, the trunks or glove boxes. calvin walker is serving a life sentence for robbing and shooting a teenager in hillcrest in 2011 using a gun he stole from the car of an off-duty florida police officer parked at the springfield metro station. few of these guns are ever found, but the 34 stolen or lost in d.c., two are listed as recovered. this glock and rifle stolen from an fbi agent's vehicle near eighth street in northeast d.c. are still missing, 18 months later. calvert county sheriff tells the i-team they haven't found the

rightful owners of a cache seized during a traffic stop. require rifles or guns to be locked when stored inside cruisers and there are different policies for guns in the trunks. some require guns are locked inside cases, even when in the trunks. others require ammunition be removed. some limit how long they can be in here. in rockville, they changed the policies after the guns were stolen in may. >> we do not want our weapons in the view of the public at all times, you know, going in and out of officers' homes. >> reporter: city policy now requires police firearms stored in a trunk also be locked in a vault in the truck. parents at einstein high school say all gun owners, whether private citizens or police, need to be diligent about locking up. >> i don't want firearms getting out to the community that shouldn't be there. >> reporter: because the what-ifs are scarce when police guns end up in the wrong hands. scott mcfarmed, news4 i-team. >> the i-team has spent months investigating stolen guns across the country with help from more

than a dozen other nbc stations and the non-profit journalism for the results, go to our app and click on "investigations." good work by them. right now there is a volcanic ash advisory, not over adam right now. >> can you see it? can you see it hamg? >> boom! >> there it is. >> wow. >> on one of the world's most prized travel destinations, bali. mt. agung on the indonesian island erupted friday, covering the pristine landscape in ashes. the ash cloud you see even disrupted international flights, standing by over 2,000 passengers. they weren't able to take off right away. this was the second eruption in just a week. >> wow. >> it's impressive to look at that. hopefully, lauryn ricketts, your house there's okay. >> yeah. >> a beautiful property. >> i got a call -- >> multiple condos. >> -- my staff there, see if everything's all right. >> bali? >> yeah in bali. >> you never tell me about that on sunday mornings, just him on

sard >> are you jealous? i might be siding with team david now. or adam, no.
