back with a look at our top story this is morning as police are investigating a quadruple shooting in prince george's county. it happened in oxon hill at 1:00 this morning at an apartment complex on livingston road. one man is dead and another in critical condition. two women were also shot. they have nonlife-threatening injuries. police say the shooting stems from an aparticipant argument in an apartment stairwell. they are searching or the suspect who ran from the scene. bill clinton is north korea today, hoping to bring home american journalists laura ling and una lee and reduce the nuclear defiance. the reporters were working for al gore current tv and

sentenced to 12 years of hard labor for illegal entry. it is 7:30 and let's check in with tony for a look at the steamy forecast. >> our highs in the 90s. a hot one today. take a look at the weather headlines. we're not dealing with thunderstorms or anything like that. but it will be a sunny and warm day by this afternoon. highs in the 90s. thunderstorms do move back into the area tomorrow. and then we'll be set for a hot weekend as well. current temperatures around the region. we remain at 73 degrees here in washington. 68 in baltimore. patuxent naval air station coming in at 71 degrees. in harrisonburg it's 63 degrees at in hour. satellite radar for the eastern united states, once again, there is d.c. not much happening here. we do have some fog and in fact some special statements have come out from the national weather service because of the thickness, in shannon dougha valley and to some points east,

not so much in washington. it's not that dense out there for us. although there are spots of fog. mostly sunny skies. a warm one. high of 92 degrees, above normal. tonight, similar to last night. high temperatures with more clouds. downtown overnight low of 72 degrees and again i think we'll be in the 60s in the suburbs. your five-day forecast, tomorrow, the 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms. probably the best chance we have this week. thursday another continuing chance. 87 degrees for the igh. friday 85 and it looks like saturday will be dry but 90 degrees and even warmer on sunday. that's a look at the weather. now let's get more on the rush hour traffic from lauren demarco. lauren. good morning, tony. heading westbound out of buoy, an accident at the freeway airport and the left lane crowded was of the wreck and delays are building. on the other side of town, 270

delays leaving urbana past clarksberg and into germantown and through rockville. here at falls road, continuing on the brakes through the lane divide. at route 28, police activity crowding the left of the main lanes. and to virginia, 395 northbound leaving the mixing bowl in springfield here at edsel road. at the brakes across the 14th street bridge. delays on the 95 in virginia stretch from dale city, up toward lorton and the inner loop slows toward 66. that's a check of your fox 5 on- time traffic. later this month, the first studentsill begin classes at a new community college on the campus of the university of district of columbia. the new community college answers a call from the white house for more work force development programs and opportunities for young people to learn skills that earn

diplomas. and joining us now, the president, dr. alan sessance. what a need this will fill. what will this mean for the residents of washington and our area. >> this is an opportunity fors to express what is a compelling need for higher education in the united states and in this region in particular. one of the things we discovered is that washington is the tale of two cities. you have a population of higher education and then an uneducated community that are illiterate. this is to help bridge the gap between those two so students understand you can get to where you are and where you want to be and community college fills that need. >> and d.c. was the oath major -- the only major city to not

have this type of outlet for students looking for this. >> younger students and adults. one thing d.c. has been talking for years was a community college. before i arrived, we learned we had to take was embedded and make it a functioning stand- alone community college to give it the flexibility that the president has been talking about, to fill a work force that is crucial to the economy of this country and this region. >> and dr. rivera, what will happen to the udc that we already know? >> it has changed in terms of its focus nd the mission. so the community college program has been carved out to all of the two-year programs and now housed within the community college. in addition, the community college will focus on those programs that were existing, add new ones and pursue the goals of adding the work force development programs that are

sorely needed in the district. >> and talk about that for a second. and the president making this push over the next ten years, in fusing a whole lot of money into making sure the community college system works and this is the future wave of what the job force is looking for. >> absolutely. and so for us, it's more than just an opportunity to provide education, because every individual what is either unemployed or unemployable is also sort of a burden on the taxpayer. each of these individuals who we can proside an -- who we can provide an opportunity for better paying jobs, they add to the tax base and the economic sustainability of the region. >> and the future holds it's own community college campus. if you could talk about that. >> certainly. we are exploring several opportunities at this point in time and there will be a main campus and in addition there

will be several centers or satellite locations and our in tent is to be certain we have a presence in every ward. >> and we talked about dr. sessions, the money. it is $12 billion over the next decade to make sure this need is met and that includes d.c. now. >> it very much includes d.c. one of the things we have to focus on is that people have to graduate. when we admit students to the commune of d.c. -- the community of university of d.c., they're putting forth an effort. we are committed to making sure there is success at the end of the pipeline. >> and first classes start later in the fall. and focusing on work force development and pinpointing that technical academic certificates in expanding to

include what we'll call under underserved community. >> yes. and we want to include even the surf community. and classes begin august 26th. first orientation is august 19th. >> and dr., what needs to happen if somebody is watching, commuty college, how does it differ for the admissions process. if you're thinking it might be the good time to get at cerbats degree, what do you do. >> go online, www.udc.com and you'll see an application and at the community college, since we're open access. you can apply right away. there are many things they need to do at this late stage in the game, such as provide documentation for final aid but it's still not too late to consider coming. >> and community college might be just the answer. but a lot of people transfer, they take the credits and move on, perhaps it's for financial reasons that you cannot attend

a four-year school so this could also be a stepped stone. >> we want it to be a bridge. we want to assure that everybody gets a associate degree, can transfer it to udc, or any other four-year institution in the united states. >> are we still the firebirds. >> we are. and we're rearing to go. >> thank you, doctors. thanks for being with us today. >> pleasure being here. >> thank you. >> steve over to you. 7:38 right now. new research is showing that children may have disturbingly low levels of side-- of vitamin d. and we're learning that adults may suffer from the same problems. we'll take a closer look at what is behind the low levels and what we can do to prevent th. and plus we're heading back out to redskins park. david ross giving us the inside scoop. a lot of fans getting ready for practice that starts in less

degrees at this hour. we'll look at the satellite radar. again, things are mostly clear across the washington area. we've had morning fog in d.c., but more dense fog out to the west in the shenandoah valley and out to the east. but that is beginning to burn off as well. so we'll get set for a mostly sunny sunny day today. here is what is happening. not much frankly. only frontal system is well out toast with a stationary front that is just hanging around. and there are clouds and precipitation associated with that but that is out to sea not influencing us. we do expect to see hot weather between the two frontal systems. so the forecast for today looks like this. -- mostlysunny,, humid but not oppressively show. let's get one last look at traffic and for that we go to lauren demarco. right now we're still dealing with delays at 95 and

the b.w. parkway. 95 slows southbound because of a car fire near 216. a slow near 197 because of an accident also off to the right side of the road. and 95 delays have eased out to woodbridge and through the mixing bowl. northbound 395 on the brakes until you get past duke street and then again around the pentagon up to the 14th street bridge. on the beltway, the inner loop up toward 66, delays leaving annandale up toward merrifield. so slow traffic for you. past 66 you're back up to speed. on the beltway in maryland, delays up toward route 50 because of an early accident that has been moved off to the right side of the roadway. 270 traveling in at 124 on the brakesnd again from 370 to the lane divide.

that's a check of your fox 5 on- time traffic. >> lauren, thanks. new this morning startling new statistics about high levels of lead found in d.c. children a. cording to the washington post, local officials did not predict the number of lead in the tap water. back then it was thought 193 kids had high lead levels but the actual number was 486 children. steve er to you. more than 50% of people in the united states are not getting enough vitamin d. a new research shows that it could help with the prevention of cancer. grassroots organizations are calling for the need of determining vitamin d. levels and put this at forefront of public awareness called d. action. and professor garland is from

the san diego school of medicine and the lead investigator on this project and you are here in town to help out with leaders in the forefront of this are in town. what are you talking about? >> we're talking about the vitamin d. deficiency. virtually all of us are vitamin d. deficient. partially because of the lifestyle. if you're a life guard at ocean city, you're fine. but with respect to cancer, falls, fractures, you're vitamin d. deficient. >> why is it so important that we're not deficient when it comes to vitamin d. >> people who are defish object have two to three times the risk of breast cancer, or breast cancer patients are twice as likely to survive the next 12 years if they have high

levels of the vitamin d. but women in general are likely to have about 80% less incidents of cancer if they have an intake of about 1100iu aday of calcium. but the only way they can know is to do a test. and at this point in time there is a finger test. you take a drop of blood and send it into a lab and you can get the information. and it's amazing. i think that's one of the big reasons we're here in washington. >> why are we not getting enough vitamin d. >> it's lifestyle. we're in the house or in the car and vitamin d. doesn't pass through glass and we wear clothing that covers 92% of the surface area and the skin is

preventing it. and there is no alternative except to take vitamin d. >> and a lot of the focus is on kids. we see youngsters spend more time inside on the computer or video games. is that one way that we can get a little bit more, is to just get outside and take advantage of the sunshine. and we should mention this comes from the sun. >> 95of vitamin d. comes from the sun. so the simple answer is yes. we don't need to sun worship. but the maximum amount of area skin should be exposed consistent with modesty to get enough vitamin d. but absent that, it works pretty well. vitamin d3 is readily available. but it takes enough to do the job. it's at least 1,000iu even for children. >> and i know we're trying to prevent so many things from happening to us. but we hear about skin cancer and so people want to take protection and we slather on the sun screen. is that keeping out the sun

rays when we need them. >> it prevents the vitamin d. if you're wearing sun screen you went get it. keep it in the pocket for the firten minutes and then make sure it has zinc oxide, the ones that are clear are ineffective in skin cancer but we need vitamin d. because we're trying to prevent skin cancer which only kills 2,000 americans we're losing half a million americans who are getting cancers of internal organs because they are deficient in vitamin d. >> so if we can got outside we'll be in better shape. >> and get tested and make sure the exposure is affects. >> thank you, doctor. i foe you'll be talking about this with more experts.
