that. hey. >> hey, tony. not terribly good news if you want cooler temperatures. not in the cards today. back into the upper 90s to about 100 degrees. heat advisory in effect later this afternoon, and unfortunately looks like the heat wave continues into the weekend. 85 now in washington. 84 in ocean city. overnight temperatures just not cooling off. when you start your day at 80 degrees, it's not hard to get into the upper 90s and close to 100 like we will later this afternoon. this urban corridor between baltimore and washington under the heat advisory between noon today and 8:00 tonight. temperatures near 100, and will feel like 105 today. as tony mentioned, will get worse from here. things will get a little warmer friday, and saturday looks like the peak of the heat as our temperatures will be in the low triple digits. there's your satellite radar. could be a thunderstorm today. most of your day sunny and hot and hazy and humidity.
9:01 am
of course, unstable air mass conducive to a few thunderstorms a possibility. 99 in washington. 100 in baltimore. 101 fredericksburg. back to you. thanks, tucker. new this morning, double shooting at an apartment complex in the district turned deadly. happened in the 600 block of morton street northwest after 2:30. one man was shot in the face, the other in the back. one of the victims died. no word on what led to the shooting or if police have suspects. one of the four people shot during a july 4th celebration has sadly died from his injuries. shots rang out before 8:00 last night on first street northwest near the fort cotton area. police say it appears a group
9:02 am
of young men were targeted outside an apartment complex. two of the victims are teenagers. no arrests have been made. two montgomery county police officers are now on routine leave following the deadly shooting of a man involved in a confrontation at a restaurant. happened at the urban barbecue yesterday afternoon. witnesses say an angry customer went to his car and came back with a gun. he pointed it at his own head and at the heads of several employees. police say they opened fire when he didn't comply with orders. we don't know the man's identity. six days now after the storm, local utility companies working to restore service. when it comes to pepco, some homeowners have reported frustration when it comes to who is exactly still waiting. sherri ly is live in bethesda with more on that. good morning, sherri. >> reporter: good morning, allison. the wait for pepco crews is finally over here in this neighborhood. we've got power crews that just arrived here within the last
9:03 am
half hour. this crew is from delaware, one of the many crews from out of state helping pepco. look at what they're dealing with here. we've got trees that have downed the power lines. they've been cut up here, but still have to be moved away. power lines are down everywhere. they'll have to be replaced. hopefully, with the power crews here, it's a sign that the power will be back on soon. pepco still has almost 20,000 customers without power. dominion virginia, 8900. bge almost 13,000 people still without power. the restoration efforts have been slow to reach some neighborhoods in the area. here in bethesda, trees took out the power lines. pepco has the largest number of outages in the region. crews were trying to clean up the trees so pepco can make
9:04 am
repairs. tens of thousands still have no power six days after this storm, and with this heat, we learned firsthand some tempers are flaring. >> blood sucking exploiters. these all you are. >> stay away from me. >> no, stay away from me. you're on my street. >> this is a county street. >> no, no, you're on property here. taking advantage of a neighbor's tragedy. >> i'm not a frustrated kind of guy. i know the guys are working as hard as they can to get it done, so i don't really blame the crews. >> we're lucky. we had minor damage to the house. nobody was hurt. it's just a major inconvenience. i'd like to think pepco is working as hard as they can. we have nice folks from florida light and power in our neighborhood, which is encouraging. >> reporter: some cases pepco has reported power restored to home when it's not. the utility says when a major feeder line is fixed it's automated system reports everyone in the area has power, even though pockets may still be out, so it is asking people
9:05 am
to continue to report if they have outages. pepco now says it has restored power to 95% of the customers that were knocked out due to the storm. one man told me pepco sent them a text last night, it said they were restoring power as quickly and as safely as possible and told them "hang in there." that's the latest here in bethesda, back to you. >> sherri ly, thank you very much. as thousands face another sweltering day without power, maryland's public service commission will attempt to answer some of the many questions regarding response to the storm. that includes a recap of reliability standards for utility companies. fox5 will be in baltimore for today's hearing and we'll have more tonight at 5:00. montgomery county executive isaiah leggett is among those frustrated with response times and he joins me live instudio now with more. good morning. good to see you. thanks for coming in. >> thank you. >> over the weekend you were
9:06 am
pretty angry, or very, very concerned at the very least about pepco in particular's response time and projections at that time they would have 90% of their customers restored tomorrow night. they say they have restored now 95% of their customers, so they're a little ahead of schedule. are you still angry? >> ahead of a schedule that was a week old. you had a low bar to start with. we're still talking 20,000 residents in montgomery county without power. couple of that with degrees of nearly 100 degrees, and the humidity we are facing today, that's a horrendous position to be in. >> isn't it fair to say, like we just heard sherri ly say, pepco texted somebody, we're doing the best we can, as fast as we can, isn't it fair to say pepco and other utilities are working as fast as they can? >> certainly, but i think we need to look at the conditions
9:07 am
which we face here. this is not the first incident that we've had this kind of delay in response by pepco. this is about the sixth or seventh in the last three or four years. we've had outages under more conducive conditions that we think horrendous in many ways. the history suggests we need to do more. and i don't think we've measured up to that standard in this case. >> what are your constituents saying to you? >> they may understand later, but when you're dealing with 100-degree temperatures and this power outages, there's little understanding people have. there's frustration. that frustration is clear when you look at the number of people affected by this and the delay under these conditions. so maybe we'll get to a point we can reflect back on this. but now people are pretty angry and they want answers and want them soon. >> in your view, what needs to
9:08 am
happen to make pepco and other utilities more responsive and faster when it comes to things like this? >> first of all, let me admit they have made some improvements from what they've done in the past. but the improvement, in my opinion, is not sufficient. we need to more aggressively insure we have the infrastructure in place. i think we need to invest more from that standpoint. secondly, we need to communicate with people better. some people believe they have power and they don't. we need to make sure the response time in terms of getting the outside crews, which is much quicker in the last few days, you could have looked out the window and say, this is a hell of a storm and we need to respond quickly, and i know power outages will be widespread. bring the crews in sooner than i think they responded in this case. >> you mentioned investing in infrastructure. if pepco said, you know what, we need to do this, but we need another rate hike, would you be in favor of a rate hike? >> i don't think they want it
9:09 am
at this time. we need to look at this very carefully. it will be a difficult case to make, in my opinion. one area i believe i agree with pepco, the area of tree trimming. we have a debate in our county about whether or not we would have tree trimming in a way pepco believes it's sufficient to reduce some of the outages. i believe a case could be made for that. we have legislation in montgomery county to look at that, that may limit pepco's ability to do so. we need to look carefully at that, because i believe tree trimming would help in some instances. look at the power outages, a large part them was in the old portions of montgomery county, bethesda, silver spring, a large amount of canopy that impacts the power line. >> very good. ike leggett, thanks for coming in. good to see you. >> thank you. friday night's storm knocked out 911 service in many parts of our area. earlier this morning, tony spoke with the director of the
9:10 am
fairfax county department of public safety communications. he says an arlington facility suffered damage in the storm in both the main and backup 911 systems failed on saturday. >> is verizon being cooperative and forthcoming and are they being held accountable? >> they are being cooperative. i understand obviously there will be some inquiries into the performance, probably will be some recommendations made as a result of that. we're all looking forward anxiously to what that may be. because we don't know when the next storm may arrive. >> 911 service is now fully restored and operational. >> i did ask him what his confidence level in the 911 system now, and he said okay. so not the highest. >> no. coming up, a fourth of july celebration in new york ends in tragedy when a boat capsizes.
9:11 am
details on the search for survivors. >> and you know these little pests, they can make your hot summer even more miserable. but there are some things you can do to make the sting of mosquitos a little less annoying. the vice president of the national pest management association will join us next with some tips. >> as we head to the break, a spectacular scene on the national mall last night. it's always great. a fiber show to celebrate the fourth of july and despite the heat, the crowd was large, many thousands of people, and they were not disappointed. >> of course, there was also the capital 4th concert. newest "american idol," phillip phillips was among the performers. we'll be right back. ♪
9:15 am
recovering after a yacht capsized off new york's long island. we've just learned all three victims were children. it took crews all night to account for all 27 people who were on board. officials say a combination of the weather and the wake from another boat may have led to the yacht tipping over. it's believed the boaters were watching fireworks at the time of the accident. crews battling wildfires in the west are hoping calmer winds and higher humidity will help their efforts. and six badly needed c-130 fire fighting planes have returned to duty after being grounded following one tanker's deadly crash last weekend. dozens of wildfires are burning nationwide. meantime, in colorado springs, the national weather service issued a flash flood watch by the areas burned by the waldo canyon fire. that means rainfall could become deadly with runoff and debris. rain on the east coast means mosquitos.
9:16 am
chances are you have been bitten several times. we wanted to find ways for you to bite back, so to speak. joining us, vice president with national affairs of the pest management association, and i like to say, my new best friend. nice to meet you. we were speaking offcamera and you said it's not your imagination if it's really bad this year. what's happened so we are slapping our legs all day long? >> i think it's really the perfect storm so to speak, with the nice warm weather that we enjoyed throughout the winter time. mosquitos and other insects came out earlier. we are seeing higher populations of mosquitos. >> this came up in our editorial meeting, the gnat issue. they seem to swarm around sometimes. do we fight them the same way we fight the mosquitos and other stinging bugs? >> a lot of the things we can do within our yard will be effective to reduce the gnat and mosquito populations.
9:17 am
some of those include eliminating sources of moisture. mosquitos and gnats both need moisture for reproduction. good time to be emptying out your children's toys after a rainfall, making sure your gutters are clean, eliminating all kinds of debris piles. all those things are very effective. >> that's interesting, the debris piles. here are some of the other managing mosquito tips. you say inspect your door and window screens. what do we look for? >> any of the holes that may have been there. things that might make the screens not be intact. particularly now after the storms, good time to do a thorough inspection and your house for limbs that might have done damage to your screen or doors. >> most active between dusk and dawn. know that. >> absolutely. >> also, if you can, i know it's like scorching out there, but wear long clothing. that's kind of a no brainer. lots of light clothing that you can wear, right? >> that certainly is helpful. and also it's important to use insect repellent. i know many of us have gotten to be very good at putting on
9:18 am
the sunscreen. we've heard that message. i want people to understand the importance of using repellent. >> is deet bad for us and our kids? what is the word now on deet and what other ingredients should we look for? >> deet really is considered the gold standard by which all other repellents are measured. the centers for disease control recommends deet. and also oil of lemon eucalyptus. those would be the three things we recommend. >> interesting question, but bear with me, what about the foods we eat, the things we drink, do those things make us more atraffic to mosquitos or not? >> it's a good question. has a funny answer. yes, mosquitos are looking for the different odors we each emit and may not be detected by you or me, but the insects can. no one really knows what makes
9:19 am
them more attracted to people than others. certain things have been proven. the smell of lindbergher cheese is attractive to them. and stinky feet. >> they like a strong smell? >> they do. >> that video is terrible. >> all the busy moms out there, running around after their children, take note. >> okay. also, we reported recently west nile showing up in virginia. how concerned are you? >> it's something everyone needs to pay attention to. west nile virus is something that unfortunately kills between 400 and 700 people in our country every year. it's very important people are taking precautions in their yards to reduce the mosquito populations and very important for people to wear insect repellent. >> missy, we're out of time. a simple answer here, the trucks that go around, commercial trucks, do they work to spray your back yard? >> they can be very effective. if you do have a large
9:20 am
population, wise to contact a professional. >> thank you so much. police e is the vice president of public affairs for the pest management association. and you can go to a past weather guy. tony, you talked about what attracts mosquitos a while ago. >> sure did. i'm itchy now. why you need to check your computer or risk losing your internet service. and how the media helped a woman find her lost dog. it's time to check in with holly. >> reporter: right now i'm learning how to play coites. looks like horse shoes to me. something from the 17th century. how do i know that? because i'm live in st. mary's city, where they are uncovering the past. it's an actual archeological dig. we're not talking about disneyworld here, we're talking about the real deal and how you can come be a part of it all later on fox 5 morning news. stay with us. matters. pioneers in outsourcing us jobs supports tax breaks overseas. insourcing. industry and favors bring jobs home. it matters. this message.

listen up, you could lose your internet service on monday if your system is infected with malware. the fbi says it infected computers more than a year ago, but there are about 64,000 affected computers in the united states. both facebook and google have created warning messages and the fbi has set up a web site to check whether you're computer has the virus. we've posted a link on myfoxdc.com. here's a heartwarming story that shows the power of social media. a jack russell terrier named patch jumped aboard an irish rail train with morning commuters. the company sent a lost dog tweet. about 30 minutes and 500 -- that's hard to say -- retweets later they received a response. there he is. patch was reunited with his owner -- i'm sorry, you look

9:30 am
86now in quantico. upper 90s, close to 100 for afternoon highs. salisbury, 89 degrees for you. haven't mentioned you yet this morning. 88 in culpepper. frederick 90 degrees. upper 90s for afternoon highs. we are not the only ones enduring unbelievable heat. off to our north and west, chicago and st. louis. they have an excessive heat warning. that's a graduated version of what we have around here. high temperatures later today st. louis, 103. chicago might be as warm as 105 later today. so a lot of extreme heat up to in wisconsin, minneapolis, dealing with a lot of heat. here in washington, another heat advisory that goes in effect at noon today. will feel like 100 to 105. dangerous heat for a time this afternoon. lots of water, bring the pets in, because we'll be doing another day with the heat wave later this afternoon and during the evening hours. here's your satellite radar, i don't think we'll see a lot of
9:31 am
thunderstorm activity today. doesn't mean we won't see a few pop up this afternoon. nothing driving the thunderstorms, no fronts or upper level troughs moving through. without that, a summery hot air mass that will pop up a few storms, a possibility. otherwise, not a lot of changes. heat wave continues and temperatures later today, upper 90s to about 100. we'll do it again tomorrow, saturday. the end of the weekend, maybe a little relief here by sunday and monday. heat advisory, lots of sunshine. hot and humid. hazy, too. isolated afternoon storm a possibility. 99 the daytime high. partly cloudy tonight. warm and muggy overnight. 79 the overnight low. wind out of the north at 5 to 10. and here is your five-day forecast, and as we get into friday and saturday, the heat will actually for a time become more unpleasant with highs about 100 friday, and saturday 102 degrees, with searing heat
9:32 am
around here. i think the heat index will be close to 110 saturday afternoon. that likely to be the worst of it. little better by sunday and monday. all right, allison and tony, so bad they won't let me be seen on camera. >> took the camera away from you. >> still cute be tuck. in three years thousands of unmanned drones could take to the sky. some are worried about privacy, and others are worried about safety. >> new research shows those drones can be hacked and could potentially jeopardize national security. sarah simmons is back to shed light on this discovery. >> the faa has until 2015 to come up with rules to allow those drones into u.s. air space. but a researcher says the government needs to come up with a security fix or scrap the idea altogether. >> 3, 2, 1 -- >> reporter: this drone is similar to thousands of others that will soon be buzzing over
9:33 am
u.s. soil. the flight path guided by gps. but watch what happens when the team from the university of texas punch a few key strokes into this computer. >> two, one, capture. >> reporter: the drone goes wildly offcourse, now receiving instructions not from gps, but from a transmitter that sends false signals to the navigation system of the drone. a so-called spoofer. the effect is so dramatic, a safety pilot with a radio control has to save the drone from crashing. >> spoofing a gps receiver really is another way of hijacking a plane. >> reporter: if that sounds shocking, it's because it is. with this experiment, he showed a gaping hole in the government's plan to open up air space to the drones. >> we have 30,000 of these drones in the u.s. air space, and each one could be a potential missile. >> reporter: until now, they've been limited mostly to the
9:34 am
battlefield, in places like iraq, afghanistan and yemen. there's a push for them to be used with law enforcement, even pilotless delivering packages across the country. the founder of fed ex wants a fleet of drones in the air as soon as possible. >> what if you could take over a drone that's up there delivering fed ex packages and use that as your missile? it's the same mentality i'm sure the 9/11 attackers had. >> reporter: the government is aware of the problem and has seen the experiment firsthand. this is the first time in the u.s. anyone has used a spoofer to hijack an unmanned vehicle. but humphries says if he could do it, so could a terrorist group with the right resources. he cautions unless the government can eliminate this vulnerablity, it should put on hold any of the plans to put them in the skies. >> he says the government needs to be proactive here. otherwise it may only give
9:35 am
terrorists a target to go after. frightening stuff. >> really is. thank you. >> thanks, sarah. scientists think they are one step closer to fining out exactly how the universe began. physicists discovered a new particle that may be related to the elusive god particle. i think most of us have heard that. it's believed to give all matter in the universe its shape and size. scientists have discovered all 12 particles associated with this theory. but they still have to find out what kind of properties this 12th has. >> they found the particle under a car seat. >> no, they didn't. >> sorry. in our sports breakfast, the nats and giants go back at it again on turn back the clock night. it's in honor of the 1924 world series champion, washington senators. both teams will wear 1924 replica jerseys. the first 10,000 fans will

all of the challenges. new laws, new land, new people it seems to be. my goodness, for instance it makes so sense to have a law about how fast a horse and cart can go down the city street. very good. if you have no streets and very few horses and carts. so we have to adapt the laws to what we have here. >> reporter: i understand you selected this site as the first capital. what did you like about this site? >> the fact it was available. >> reporter: oh! >> hurrah! >> reporter: i put a ringer on that. >> i'm glad we didn't wager on that. >> reporter: i understand you've made good inroads with the natives here. >> fortunate they let us live in their homes when they were exiting the place. we lived in long houses, not as good as ours, while they moved to other places. they are on their way out, we

9:48 am
>> i think the main part is the authenticity. this is where they actually walked. it's where they fought and existed and strived to overcome the challenges. and every now and then celebrate it by playing games and having fun, when you have the occasion. we like to celebrate. >> reporter: what's the best way for people to make the most of their experience here? >> obviously, go to the visitor's center, get a map. we have highlights at all the sites. for example, you can see the canon firing at the dove. you can see musket firing and printing press, and games being played. all our areas have many activities people can participate and play. >> reporter: you can experience the living history and you can also help undig history as
