developing story in the district. a deadly hit-and-run accident in northwest d.c. >> this happened at around 1:30 this morning in the 1300 block of connecticut avenue. now we know that the woman hit has died. sarah simmons is live on the scene with the latest on the search for the person responsible. sarah, how is that search going? >> reporter: i just spoke with d.c. police and they say they have not made an arrest in in case. however, as you know, police have been stationed outside of a building for most of the morning where they believe the suspect vehicle came from. and we some video that we shot a couple of hours ago of what appears to be the suspect vehicle that they towed from a location, an apartment building in the chevy chase area of montgomery county that was a black lexus sufficient with front headline damage that they towed just a couple of hours ago. now how this vehicle was cracked down is nothing short of impressive here. let me give you the back story.

this again happened at about 1:30 this morning. there was a young woman getting out of the backseat of a mercedes here in the 1300 block of connecticut avenue when she was hit by a black suv as witnesses described it. the suv kept on driving. but there was a man nearby, a bicyclist who said he saw this happened, jumped on his bike and rode across dupont circle and about six blocks where he was able to catch up with the suv and get down the tag numbers, the plate number and the description of the vehicle and the person inside. he was able to call police who trackd it to that area in montgomery county, the chevy chase area where they have been throughout the morning. so at this point police are still investigating. we do know they did talk to somebody, they did question somebody. we just -- they have not arrested anyone at this point. unfortunately as you said, the young woman hit this morning died from her injuries at the hospital. we do not have the name or identification of her at this point.

but again, we're still waiting to hear from police on whether or not they have actually found the person responsible for this hit-and-run here this morning. we're live in northwest, sarah simmons, tony and allison, back to you. another big story we're following this morning, george washington university students are being urged to be on the lookout after a woman was visually attacked near campus. police say a man forced the woman into an alley behind the embassy of spain and sexually assaulted her. it's unclear if she was a student. police issued a campus wide alert about the eps dent. the victim did not know her attacker. he's still on the loose this morning. two maryland teenagers are facing attempted murder charges today, accused of plotting to kill an entire family. the suspects are 16-year-old caitlinkerchoff and her boyfriend. they planned to gun down her family on september 26th.

that night shots were fired at six people inside the house. the mother of the fallly crawled to a phone to call 911 and luckily nobody was injured. >> certainly a bizarre occurrence and something you wouldn't expect to happen around here. i can't expect why two young 16 years old would want to do this to anybody, much less people they know. and special they've ruined their entire life because of these actions. >> according to documents, the two teens plotted via text messages. both remain in custody and are charged as adults. police in fairfax county investigating the stabbing death of a woman there. this happened last night at springfield outside of the 5-t bar and grill. a man got in a fight with a woman and stabbed her to a death. the suspect was a 40-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman is the victim. place say the two did know each

the trial begins october 18th. the government is issuing more subpeonas for a new investigation for using campaign money to pay for his mistress, leann hunter. federal agents rounded up more than 130 people, including police officers, prison guards, two u.s. army soldiers and three national guard soldiers, all accused of aiding drug traffickers and getting paid for it. this was the largest police corruption investigation in the history of the fbi. if convicted, the defendants could be sentenced to 10 years to life in prison. in afghanistan overnight nato said a two-pronged attack killed eight taliban fighters, including a top commander. the dead leader is responsible

for bombing of afghan soldiers. the air and ground assault comes as we arenting the 10th year of war and -- we are entering the 10th year of war. and pakistan said it will not reopen an important border crossing any time soon. u.s. helicopter raids killed two pakistani soldiers last week and they closed the pass that stranded hundreds of supply trucks attacked by militants. last night the u.s. and nato issued a formal apology for the mistake. they said they will open the border in due course. president barack obama is making stops in maryland and illinois. he is holding a rally with martin o alley in prince george's county this afternoon. this latest get out the vote rally will focus on getting black voters out to the polls for mid-term elections. democrats are starting to edge up but the president's tactics

are raising eyebrows even among democrats. >> he runs the risk of alienating the independent and moderate voters that he won in the general election because he's acting like a partisan poll significance. >> and the president will make a stop in his home state of illinois for two fundraisers. vince gray is gearing up for another town hall meeting tonight. he held one in ward 5 on tuesday and tonight he'll be in ward 3 at st. columbia's church on aber marl in northwest. tonight's town hall could be more confrontational. he campaigned on the promise to hold eight town halls. one in each section of the city. and a new website launched by the save dc now political

expected to rule before the end of the year into a string of teen suicides all within a month and all because of bullying surrounding sexuality. more and more teens are coming out earlier. coming up, we'll talk to a group about the reality of growing up gay and the resources available to help. and the president has visited haiti. how far have we come since the earthquake? a look at what he experienced. we'll be back in a moment. it's 9:10 now.

there is a renewed push to stop bullying. several top new jersey lawmakers and students came together at a town hall meeting saying tolerance needs to be taught to the nation's youth. tyler clemente's suicide has sparked a national discussion on the problems facing young gay people. frank lotenberg introduced

legislation to stop the growing problem. >> i told his mom that whatever we could do to help commemorate that young life, to apply honor to his being, that i want to do. >> he wants colleges to conduct a code of conduct. he jumped from a bridge after a sexual encounter was released online. his roommate and his girlfriend are charged with invasion of privacy. many commit suicide linked to be from harassment from peers. and if adults have trouble with slurs, can we expect kids to with stand it?

andrew barnett, from the sexual minority youth assistance league and the only group for young people in the gay and lesbian and transgendered community. and we've been reporting this and it's troubling to all of us and we want to reach out to you because it seems now this is a huge uptick in this kind of thing. what is going on and what has been going on for these young people. >> absolutely. it's devastating to see so many young lives being taken from us. and to hear about the bullying and harassment that the young men endured before they took their lives is really troubling. >> there are numbers to sort of back up what we are talking about. i want to get into those before we continue. school harassment, 72% heard homophobic marks, 30% felt unsafe and some missed schools because of fears and 85% were

harassed and assaulted. these numbers are troubling. >> yes. >> how do we work to stop this. >> smile created a safe base for youth. we have an after school facility and we have support for use. and we focus on addressing bullying and we have our community education program where we go into schools and other youth service organizations and teach teachers and school administrators about how to make their spaces safer. >> and i also read that more youth are coming out younger and tell us about this and does this help or hurt a mind or maybe a personality that is not mature yet? >> yes. over the past few years we've seen a huge drop in the average coming-out age and a study showed that youth are coming out at age 1, which for many

people seems young. however if you look at other studies from previous years, very often folks may have come out later in life but around 12 11, 13, they realize they are different and starting to suspect they might be lgbt. and it's not so much that youth are become ago wear of their feelings, it's more that they have a language to process them because of the rise in visibility of lgbt people in the mainstream media and they start to take the steps sooner than they did before. >> and i would believe that a good aid and negative aid, and this might be the internet and you are connected to the internet but i read that if you get called something in school, maybe 30 people hear it. on line, it could be endless? >> the problem with cyber bullying is something we are still trying to wrap our heads around. everything is difficult when youth are communicating with each other. but when they post something on

a facebook page it is something that friends might see and it feels permanent for the young person. and the other thing is bullying through text messaging. if you went home and you had a break from it, but now it is at school and at home ever you are and that feels very different for young people. >> that is something that blew my mind because the text messages don't stop. >> exactly. >> and we hear this a lot and kids use this as a put-down. you are gay. and they don't know what they are talking about, but it is a put-down and the other words that come along with that. and how troubling that this is overlooked and not like it is calling somebody a racial slur. how do you address that. >> well the way to address it is to prevent it from happening. very often you walk down any hallway in any school in america and you'll hear that's

so gay. and that might not necessarily -- the person who is saying it may not think they're making a remark but with any youth in ear shot, this equate being gay with being bad. and so it's something -- it's a language that we aren't necessarily addressing as often as we should but we should be addressing it and preventing those words from being used in our schools. >> it's like a shift in mentality is needed so the parents, when they hear that, that's not a word to be used in a negative context? >> yes. >> and if you are a parent -- and let's focus on the parents with children who might be gay or going through the time of questioning. how do you give them what they need to not be bullied? >> i'm glad you brought up

parents because they have a tremendous part of support and when they are supportive it makes a tremendous difference in their lives in terms of decreasing their chance of negative outcomes from substance abuse to suicide and depression. parents can listen to their child and if they are experiencing bullying to get involved. to go and talk to the teacher, principal or school board. parents have a role to play and can be termed as advocates. >> and we've seen what it means when they are too late on that. >> exactly. >> and andrew barnett, thank you so much. >> thank you. the topic of teen suicide is also heading to prime time. according to e. online, glee will have a episode about gay teens in response to the recent suicide and no word on when it

will air. a terrifying situation. the latest on the toxic sludge in hungary and now the clean-up begins. they are all of the rage in new york and now they are here in d.c. and holly knows what we are talking about? >> reporter: we have our first annual curbside cookoff where we are live and over the next few days you can go from street vendor to street vendor to fill up your appetite and we'll show you how this is helping your culture of business here in the district. it's all live, later. here is a look at today's trivia question. in 1992 the governor of hawaii received a petition filled with 30,000 signatures asking to change the name of the island of maui. what did they want it changed to? paradise island, gilligan's island or middle island.

some of the footage has gotten misplaced and has deteriorated and some was not taken good care of which is surprising. >> it is. >> to this day, every now and then when there is a full moon i look up at it and say people have walked around and driven around. >> if you could, you would go? >> i would love to. >> and you too? >> i suspect. >> and there are people here that have said we would love to send you to the moon. >> i would like to see the video. imagine how much different it would be today. >> the moon? >> no, the video. the old black and white. >> not like the cell phone videos. >> like a cell phone video for the moon. let's get to it. we're hear on planet earth and a lovely day with temperatures in the 70s. that's after several days in the 60s. 57 now at reagan national. we're 55 in gaithersburg. warming up in frederick, 61

degrees. martinsberg is 60. 64 in winchester and 62 in fredericksberg. as i mentioned, our high pressures later today will be back into the 70s. so a good 10 degrees warmer than yesterday. it will get breezy. winds gusting to about 30. 6 mile-per-hour wind in washington. 40 down at patuxent naval air station. ocean city is about 8. and out in dover it is 12. and the winds will pick up. as we watch the storm system exit stage right, and off to the -- to the north and east and taking with it the cloud cover. we have some clouds out there but those should burn off and we're in for a bright and beautiful afternoon and as we focus out to the west, that will build in and deliver absolutely perfect weather around here for october. high temperatures in the upper 70s to about 80 and low humidity for the next couple of days to it should be brilliant into the weekend. nice this afternoon too.

breezy out there. a weak cold front coming through on the back side of that area of low pressure and then the high pressure about give us days in the 70s and low lows in the 50s. here is your forecast, 73 this afternoon and sunshine and breezy with winds out of the west at 10-15 gusting to 30 miles per hour and a great looking forecast and good lucking weekend. near 80 on saturday. if you're going to the redskin game on sunday, that will be nice. and a holiday on monday, that will be nice too. maybe next chance of showers by tuesday. that's a look at the forecast. now over to you and derek. tucker has gotten into the gardening thing. just because summer has gone, does not mean you have to say goodbye to landscape. and derek thomas from thomas landscapes joins us once again. thank you very much for coming

in. >> how are you, tony? >> i do then to think you get into fall and winter and it's time to shut down and there is not much you can do. >> and many people think that. and just like the dogwood i brought in today, it is one of the plants you can have in your garden and attractive foliage in the stum -- in the summer and the birds do like the berries. but the tree in the winter time can be a wonderful piece in your landscape. and that's what i want the viewers though think about, is stop thinking about the pansies or the cabbages. start thinking about winter beauty. and the gardens are getting set up with evergreens. this time of year they've going to bring in trees with leaf

changes. and a lot of those trees, in and of itself is beautiful during the winter months. >> we have a variety of shows and you can talk about what we are seeing. the thing here is to realize you don't have to give up on color. >> here is a specimen with one tree that is a brilliant blaze red. put one tree in your landscape that will set the landscape apart. even though it's a couple of weeks it is still something vibrant and people attracted to in the landscape. >> is that the name of the tree? >> no. that's a specimen among the rest of the tree. that is actually a maple and it's a red sun set maple. and it turns a brilliant red color in the fall. start thinking about selecting

pans that are going to give you babies -- barrys like the dogwood. and this crabapple, those are going to well last after the tree has exfoliated. so you have some attraction in the landscape from the berries. >> and in and of itself it adds a festive flair to the garden. >> it brings you into the spirit. start thinking about plants that agoing to have attractive bark. this is a birch and the birch bark is a peeling bark. there is sycamores, crate murdles and all of those trees will add beauty to your summer landscape but when the believes are gone you'll have a beautiful centerpiece. this one is planted off of someone's door. >> and this is what the tree naturally does. >> it naturally has that peeling bark in the fall and

all summer long but it's more obvious in your winter landscape because all of the lanes are gone and that's the focal point. and then the other thing is to start thinking about -- this is a winter jasmine. this plant blooms out in february. many people have probably gone by and in the middle of a february snowstorm seen this plant blooming. start thinking about plants that will naturally add color to your january and february landscape. they are out there and they exist. many people want a garden that will be attractive throughout the year. that is a great way to do that. but introducing plants not just at the peak of june and july. >> you've taught me something. a appreciate that. very good. good to have you hear. derek thomas. and we'll ling you to his website at myfoxdc.com.
