works parking lot. a resident told fox 5 that she had heard about 15-20 gunshots she thought and while she was inside of her home. what police are telling us right now is that this was some sort of dispute among workers here at the parking lot. we did have reports that the gunman was wearing a department of public works uniform. at this point police are not confirming that. they are saying that the shooter was wearing some type of a uniform. now police at this point are taking a look at surveillance cameras. there are quite a few around here because there are other businesses here as well. they'll look at that and see what kind of evidence they can gain from that. now in talking with an employee here moments ago, he was saying how he pulled up right after the shooting occurred. this is what he saw. >> everybody running and scattered. and that's all. everybody ran and scattered. but my point is i have two coworkers, one critical and one

we don't know about and we need some security up here because it's like you're going into a man hole in the morning, 5:00 or 6:00 in the morning, it's so dark up here you can't even see each other. >> reporter: now at this point police are in the process of still interviewing other employees here, other dpw employees. so they're in the process of talking to them to find out what occurred here earlier on this morning. we expect in just a few minutes to get an update from cathy lanier. hopefully we'll have more details from that and we'll bring them to you as we get them. live here in northeast, sarah simmons back to you, tony and allison. >> sarah, thank you very much.

surface. that miner there is the second to be pulled from the hole. the 11th liner was pulled -- miner was pulled from the mine shaft just in the last hour. >> here is a live look at the scene. they are at the san jose mine in chile. they have been trapped in that mine for 68 days. gurvir dhindsa has been following the rescue and joins us now with more. and gurvir, emotional stuff? >> no kidding. everybody is glued to their computer screens and televisions. they are coming up one every 44 minutes and because there are 33 of them, this drama will play out all day. it's a long process but one rescue crews don't want to rush. >> reporter: the rescue capsule broke just after midnight in chile. florencio avalos wearing sunglasses to prohecht his eyes was -- to protect his eyes was

re united with his son. the second person out led the crowd in a cheer. [ chanting ] >> reporter: one by one the others follow. including the youngest miner. 19-year-old jimmy sanchez. the order carefully chosen to make sure the weakest of the men were among the first rescued. but for some, or perhaps all of the miners, there pay be ongoing health concerns because of the long confinement and air pressure changes. they're being checked out by doctors and taken to a hospital just in case. and there is also the continuing danger just inherent in the operation >> what you don't know gives you trepidation about what could occur. >> reporter: the capsule could get stuck in the shaft and a number of things could go wrong. and what could have been and tragedy has -- a tragedy has

become a international celebration. the last person out will be the foreman but it might be tomorrow before he makes it to the ground. >> a good outcome on this one. >> if you would like to continue watching the rescueef not -- effort, we're streaming the video live on myfoxdc.com. and if you do go online it's there on the home page and we'll bring you live coverage of any rescues that happen within the hour. another big story we're following here at home, d.c. school chancellor michelle rhee is stepping down. she's expected to make it official a little over an hour from now. karen gray houston is live outside of the mayflower hotel in the west where the resignation announcement will be made. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, allison. well what we are expecting here at about 10:30 this morning at the mayflower is a show of

unit. the presumptive mayor elect vincent gray is expected to have a news conference standing alongside mayor fenty and school chancellor michelle rhee. we've been told that the decision for michelle rhee to step down was a phytyl decision between herself and gray, that they made in recent days and weeks during telephone calls that they thought it would be best for the students and teachers and everybody for her to leave now rather than to go later. now this all of course begs the question of where michelle rhee will go and who will replace her. according to sources, she is going to be replaced in the interim by her deputy chancellor, her number two person, kiah henderson. as for michelle rhee's plans, it's unclear whether she'll announce what she'll do today. she's established herself on the national stage as a school reform superstar. you can just look at all of the attention she's been getting in

the documentary, waiting for superman. she's been on oprah and talking about the importance of public education and improving student test scores and about the importance of rewarding high- performing teachers. now there are some visible opportunities for michelle rhee to take top jobs becoming vacant around the country. in chicago, ron huberman is leaving. in newark clifford janey who used to be superintendent here in d.c. is going to be vacating that spot. newark has just received a 100 million -- million dollars donation from the cofounder of facebook so that could be interesting money to spend in public education. and then you have down the street here in montgomery county, jerry wiest, a long- time serving superintendent who will be leaving that spot. so we're just waiting here. we'll give you -- standing by to give you the latest developments. we're live right now in

northwest. karen gray houston, fox 5 news. back into you, allison and tony. >> we'll check in with you, karen. and we'll have live coverage here on fox 5 and on myfoxdc.com. we expect that to happen around 10:30 this morning. and new this morning, a suspicious death in the district is now being investigated as a homicide. officers responded to a call of a man down just after 10:00 last night near blair road and cedar street in northwest. he died later at the hospital. it's unclear if the man was stabbed or shot. so far no arrests and no motive. a virginia day care worker accused of sexually abusing a 4- year-old is now back in fairfax county. authorities caught up with this man, simon salah zedda in new york where he was trying to get into canada. he was extradited back to virginia on friday. it is said he abused a child in

welcome back. we continue to follow the breaking news out of chile this

morning. the continued rescue of those miners who have been trapped underground for some 68 days. this is the 12th miner to be rescued. his name we understand is edison pena, 34 years old, just came out of the shaft just a couple of moments ago. all of this -- well now have we seen them strap anyone else into -- we have seen this. this is a precautionary action being taken as they are all taken away so they can have some medical evaluation. >> they are under a mile in the ground. so more than ten miles a day to keep the body activement and also he loved elvis and requested that elvis music be sent down. he led his brothers in sing alongs of the king's music to help his mind stay healthy as well. if you would like to continue

watching the rescues and if we don't have it up, go to our website, myfoxdc.com. we are streaming all of this there. you'll find it there. number 12 up now. opponents of same-sex marriage in the district are asking the u.s. supreme court to take their case. the group is headed by bishop harry l. jackson, planning to hold a news conference later today. d.c. began allowing gay marriage in march. it was argued that the issue should go before d.c. voters. don't ask, don't tell is over, at least for now. the military was ordered to stop discharged of openly gay service members. virginia phillips declared the ban unconstitutional finding fault with the argument of military readiness. she said if the warriors created a threat to military readiness it follows that defendants would not deploy him or her to combat before resolving the investigation but she noted that does not happen,

saying that, quote, it defies logic that the purposes of the ax could be served by suspending the noncombat investigation. the plaintiff in the case spoke last night. >> the big question that i think a lot of people would have is you were discharged in 2002 from the army. you're a local soldier, why go to california to file the suit. >> the suit was filed in 2004. i joined in 2005. it was filed by log cabin republicans. and it was originally filed with john doe plaintiffs and then i joined. and log cabin started in california and they started it in california and i joind it later. >> why do you think it took -- it went into effect 17 years

ago, why do you think it was so find to find -- was it the right judge at the right time? what do you think made the difference. >> for a long time there was no litigation on don't ask, don't tell. and first of all when it passed in 1993, a lot of people thought this issue is over and we're done with it and leave it alone for a while. there was some litigation in the early 90s but for years and years there was no litigation on this issue. it wasn't until about 2004 that two cases were file and then another case filed a few years later and you're seeing the cases come to fruition now four and five years later. >> the president has made it clear he wants congress to address this as a policy instead of a judge taking over the matter. does it matter to you how it's handled or do you think this is a policy that needs to be overturned and this is a stop- gap measure. >> we would like to see it go away no matter how it's done. congress has had a couple of opportunities to do it and it

hasn't happened. and we hope they will conclude in the lame duck session. but the judge stepped in and in hearing the case before her and she found it unconstitutional and issued an injunction and saying if it is unconstitutional, you can't continue to discharge people. >> brian bolter doing that interview last night on fox 5. he is the director of slumdog millionaire. now danny boyle is taking a true and in expirational story -- inspirational story. that's coming up next. and holly has some inspiring music for us this morning. >> reporter: good morning, tony. i'm being inspired by the oxon hill flippers marching band. not only are they competing this weekend, but they are hosting the 9th annual marching band invitational. coming up we'll talk about their chances, who is competing and why it's important to have this event this year. that's all live later. swigakime

fox 5 follow-up now to the errorred shooting of an american tourist on a border lake. the decapitated head of the lead mexican investigator in this case was left if a suitcase in front of a mexican army post. police suspect that this is a message from gangsters. the commander was looking into the death of david hartley on falcon lake at the border of mexico and texas. his wife said they were attacked by pirates on speed boats. >> i ache for him. and his family. he didn't deserve it. he's doing what our authorities are doing for us and fighting for us and serving his country. it's so sad that they have to be fearful of people coming after them for searching for somebody. it's sad that they have to fear the cartel. >> police have been searching

for david hartley for would weeks now. his body has not been found yet. lawyers for the suspected fort hood shooter trying to postpone a key hearing in the case. the major nadal hasan showed up for his article 32 hearing, the equivalent of a preliminary hearing. the army ended yesterday's proceedings without calling witnesses. defense lawyers want to postpone the hearing until next month but they have to put their reasons in writing. a big boost for a local company. general dynamics based in falls church said it's i.t. business unit has been awarded a contract possibly worth more than $400 million. they'll play a big role in construction projects for army medical facilities that includes upgrading current facilities and building new ones. more than 100 people came out it a town hall meeting at georgetown university to hear from president obama. he took questions from those on hand and online. the president answered

questions from people on skype, facebook, twitter and of course students in the audience. the event was meant to get young voters excited about next month's elections. >> if you can muster and sustain that same effort and energy, that absolutely -- i'm absolutely confident that we'll do well in the election. we'll win all across the country. >> president obama hopes the event will encourage his supporters to get out and vote on election day. and we continue to follow our top story this morning. the rescue of the trapped miners in chile, 12 have now been pulled to the surface to awaiting family members. we'll have the latest after the break. and changes coming to the weather. tucker is up next with the complete forecast. you don't want to miss it. we'll be back in a moment. right now it's 9:26. thkeac

bob ehrlich says he wants to fix maryland. but he increased state spending by record amounts. ehrlich raised $3 billion in taxes and fees... including property taxes... and a 40% increase in college tuition. and now he's made over $1 billion in new promises... with no plans to pay for them... except for cutting education. cuts that will lay off teachers and increase class sizes. that's not a budget. and bob ehrlich's not the kind of leader... we can trust.

our big breaking news story out of chile this morning. the rescues continue there. we just saw edison pena pulled up from the mine. he was the 12th miner to be rescued. we are waiting for number 13 now. >> and joining us to talk about the rescues is the ambassador of chile arturo menda. and i guess i should say congratulations because so far, so good. the rescue operation a resounding success. tell me your thoughts. i know you were at the embassy last night watching but what is going through your mind as you watch this? >> well thank you for inviting me. it's a great moment for chile and for latin americans and really for all of the world. my thoughts, this is a story of courage, of leadership, of unit and an incredible story of how the miners were able to organize themself from the first moment to face the adversity. and the leadership for the

government took responsibility from the first moment too with -- there was to news about them. and then the leadership of the professional technicians and the -- and we received some help from the u.s. and nasa and also some companies and the unit. so for probably for the first time in my country in several decades that we don't have any division at all from right to left, from working people to rich people to different colors and regions. everybody is following up the effort with good news at the end. it's an incredible story and so far so good. we are having good news. we are in the 12th miner being rescued. the whole country is feeling a very different future. i think chile will be a

different country from tomorrow on in terms of how to face and overcome adversities. so plenty of good feelings. last night at the embassy we congregated about 300 people, regular people, people from the private sector, from the government, from different places, other ambassadors joining us. it's kind of winning the soccer world game, but it's real life. so far we are very happy, allison. >> we heard that more people would be watching this than the world cup. and because the focus of the world has been on what is going on there in your country. and we all sort of wanted to join in on the chance that the second miner let out when he was pumping up the crowd. it must be a proud moment to learn something about the nation too. >> well that's our expectation,

to bring more people to chilly. chile is a special country with the driest desert in the north and panta goneia in the south and pacific ocean on the one side and mountains and we have a beautiful country with wine and food. but also very -- very good spirit with people and with hard workers and good professionals. and so we hope that after this story ends in a good way, more and more people are visiting chile and being involved with what we believe is a great country. >> were you surprised by the international reaction to the story. i mean there are hundreds of members of the press there from many different countries and it's been followed day in and day out. were you surprised by that or did you think that this might be one of the stories that might -- we hear about it at

first and then it goes away in. surprised on how much attention we are getting from the media. not because it's not a watching story -- it's an incredible story, but it's impressive to the media and video cameras there. and last night i was wondering about this phenomenon and there are so many lessons after this story. it began as an accident. we spent about 17 days without the miners. we thought they didn't have food, poor air, no light. so from the beginning, it was about to be a bad story. and some people there, they took a high political risk in terms of going there, taking responsibility. it was a private company.

but the government took the responsibility, put all of the resources, human, financial and technical resources and ended up being a good story. and that offers the world a lesson that is getting all of the attention. and we share that -- that perspective. >> and it doesn't end. we've reported that the men will get any sort of counseling they might need to get back into their everyday lives. so when the cameras go away, the story continues for the 33 men and their families. >> absolutely. we believe the story is that their lives will change probably. probably the families are going to be pressed about their stories. but we're taking care about all of those aspects too in terms of protecting them from too much exposure to the media,

offering them medical and physical and mental counseling. so it's surprising how much protection they have from offering the best ways to face a real and surprising story for themselves. they are working people, regular people, normal miners with typical chilean-working people and they are probably not prepared for facing such an incredible destiny. >> because they are heroes today. >> they are heroes. >> as are those doing the rescue. ambassador, thank you very much. congratulations to you and your country on what is a very good story and i hope that you will export the knowledge you put into this and gained from this in terms of rescuing these

people because it was extra order fairy. it reminds me of apollo 13 when everyone came together and said we need to figure this out. so thank you. >> welcome to you tony and allison. it's a pleasure to be here. >> pleasure to meet you. well tucker barnes is standing by on this really pretty clear day and he's got the latest on the weather forecast. tucker. >> kind of cool out there. we have temperatures -- here is a live shot -- in the 50s across the area. so you might need a light jacket for the next couple of hours as our temperatures over the next few days will be on the cool side. in fact our temperature trend, featuring cool weather the next couple of days. take a look. our average daytime high 69 degrees. we'll be there later on today. and get ready for cool and damp air, 62. and friday and saturday, cool stuff around. 80s are out of here for the time being, maybe for the season. as we have cold air from the

north and west 56 at this hour. 54 in gaithersburg. were in the 40s earlier. 55 in manassas. -- 51 in martinsberg. and in annapolis we are 54. should be plenty of sunshine. it will be a beautiful day. bright sunshine across the area. noticeably cooler than what we've had around here. cold front came through last night and took with it some light showers and sprinkles. you can see those at this hour down to the south and the carolinas. but off to the north and west, big cool pool of air and plenty of skies and they will sag down into the region later today with an area of high pressure. so we're doing fine today. into tomorrow, out toward chicago, the light rain shower, that's a cold front that will get in here later tonight and it will hang up across the area. we'll watch the low pressure area spawn off the frontal system and have a nor'easter around here tomorrow afternoon. so that means a lot of rain in the forecast tomorrow and some blustery conditions by thursday night and friday. so that's just treked off to the north and east. today no problems, 69, a lot of

sunshine. winds out of the north at 5-10. need a jacket tonight, lows in the 40s and 50s, increasing cloudiness and the possibility of overnight showers. most of the evening hours should be dry. and i mentioned the wet one tomorrow. cool and only in the low 60s. getting it out of here by friday and by friday noon more sunshine. that leads way to a dry weekend but a cool one to start. 63 the daytime high on saturday. that's a look at the forecast. allison, back to you at the desk. >> tucker, thank you. just into the fox 5 news room, an update at the stabbing at an off campus bar. police have made an arrest in this case. the suspect was wanted in the stabbings of four young men early yesterday morning outside of the thirsty turtle bar. police plan to announce more about at rest at an 11:00 a.m. news conference. we will have an update on the shooting at the department of public works facility in the

district that we told you about earlier. that occurred earlier this morning. >> we're back in a moment. hi there, i'm ian wright

and i'm investigating what makes aruba so happy. oh my word, that's fantastic. ♪ row your boat gently down the stream... ♪ i'll tell you what; it's not aloe vera the main export. it's happiness. i haven't even got bait on the end of mine. i don't care; it's just nice sitting here. you're getting it. you're getting it.

there is a new film that is about to come out based on the true story of hiker aaron ralston. he was the man forced to cut off his own arm when he became trapped under a rock in the desert. it is a thrilling story that will take you on a journey and prove what lengths we can do to when we have to save our own life. joining us now is danny boyle director of 127 hours and the oscar winning film slumdog millionaire. good to have you on the show. thank you for coming on the show. >> very nice to come here. >> and my first question was going to be what attracted you to this story, but after reading that introand thinking about it, even with slumdog millionaire, you seem to be attracted to stories that are usual and are going to put us

in a place that we have not imagined ourselves being in before? >> i love that the sin paw can take you somewhere where you would never go in your own life or certainly sometimes you hope you would never end up in a place like that in your own life. such as this guy trapped in a canyon in the middle of nowhere and not able to get out. we go inside the black boxes, the cinemas and pay $12 and we want to be transported and sometimes brutally and realistically. and it's like the story of the chilean miners and it's extraordinary our fascination of what it is like to be down there. and it's a similar story except he was on their own. there are always people even in the loneliness of placesment and eventually he's pulled out by the force of the will so survive and rejoin people. >> and in thinking about the people from his life, that's one of the interesting things because when you hear the story

about aaron ralston and we should let everyone know we're seeing james franco who plays ralston, you think this is a movie about one guy out if the desert. but you really involve the rest of his life into this as well. >> we try to. there is not that much flashbacks. one of the premises is that we would stay, as the audience with him, trapped in the canyon. because he does this extraordinary thing to get released. i thought the only way to tolerate something like this is if you were invested in it yourself if you wanted him to do it and want to help them do it. and it's a hard journey but a true sense of euphoria when it happens. it's not a chief thrill. it's something that lesses you as it -- that blesses you as it happens. >> because i think what he does, the cutting off of his own arm, could be horrific and it is a horrible thing to have to do. but you're saying it doesn't come across that way in the movie? >> well he's -- aaron is

extraordinary because he left that canyon, leaving part of himself behind. he said he left a more complete person. so it's a spiritual and emotional journey as well that he makes. which involves a sacrifice. but it was a benefit to him as well in the end, which is an extraordinary thing. and he believes it. and you get that feeling as a whole at the end. >> and sometimes you read things and think it's just publicity, but i read that james franco, you wanted him from the get-go. and why? >> he has a range of work that is very usual for a lead actor. so he'll do moody parts, which you would expect, spider-man and james dean, but then he does something like pineapple express which is hilarious. and i thought we have this one guy in the mill -- film, he's going to have to play multiple characters. there is not a villain. so he was uniquely qualified. and i think you have -- i'm

from britain so he's one of your guys, he's a major actor. you have a major actor on your hands. somebody compared him the other day to spencer tracy. >> i don't know if he gets the credit -- maybe this will put him over the top, but he's a highly regarded actor. don't know if he gets the credit he deserves. just want to ask you about slum dog millionaire. were you surprised at how big that movie became? >> surprised isn't the word. even now you meet people and of all of the places in the world have seen it. and that's the wonderful thing about cinema, the way sometimes stories snag in person's brain and they transfer around the world. and it was astonishing. and you feel humbled in a way because it's out of your control. you try to make a decent film but then something else takes over which you have no real influence in. it's -- for somebody who speaks to people at a certain moment and we're lucky enough to

benefit that. >> i wish you the same with 127 hours. an extraordinary movie about an extraordinary man, aaron ralston. thanks for joining us. >> thank you very much. well call it a battle of the bands, holly is live at the 9th annual marching band invitational and that is coming up next. we're back in a moment.
