deliberate act. this is similar to what was in nice when a truck drove into people in bastille day. 400 officers were sure and officers shot and killed the supporter of the islamic state. in that case a dozen were arrested to supply the truck driver with the weapons he used during the attack. >> a cold start to holiday weekend. redskins are posting panthers. >> looking at arctic air and we go live from the freezing field itself. look at it where it's going to be freezing. >> game time grant where are your gloves. >> let's start first with sue palka and get the latest on the weather out there, hi, sue. >> hi there, sarah, jim, gratitude to be inside and looking forward to the game. we weren't you to be prepared for the fact it will be a cold night. can i spin it in a positive way for you. at least it's not icy and not terribly windy either. it's a dry and chilly night. you will need layers.

even with light wind you feel temperatures dropping. let's start with the redskins forecast for tonight. panthers have rolled into town. and we think at the game time kickoff at 8:30 temperature will be about 31. so that's definitely cold. but winds where light and it's not eesy and temperatures into the upper 20s by the time the game wraps up. we have hi high, thin clouds out there tonight. we're down to 34 in the district and 8 in gaithersburg and 30 winchester and so we are looking at a night that's going to be rather cool. now we don't have big gusts of wind. but even with the light wind that we have right now there's a bit of a chill in the air. it feels like 28 as opposed to 34 for the air temperature in the district. and mid 0s at dulles and 29 for annapolis and 25 frederick. you want to bundle up for that. clouds coming through right now. they'll ab around the next several hours. but will clear out late tonight. that means we're really headed for cold night. we're going to drop into the teens in the suburbs. ov

maybe 18 for frederick and martinsburg and 2 dulles and mannasas headed to 19 and 5 degrees here in the district. i have good news, though, if you have a lot of running around to do for the rest of this week. it is looking like a questionet week and today will be the coldest day for the rest of the week. we'll talk about chance force precipitation later. jim, back to you. >> all right, thank you, sue. we mentioned redskins gearing up for "monday night football" action tonight they're taking on your line apanthers at fedex field. cowboys did the redskins a favor they beat the buccaneers which means if the redskins can beat the can therz and they're having a great season they will be in a position for 6th and final playoff spot with two games remaining in the season. we taunted him without the gloves and grant paulson is live inside the stadium tonight on the field with with what we can expect and grant this say big match-up. >> it absolutely s you're right not often you can say old friends in the division the dallas cowboys helped the redskins out.

night. three games to play for the redskins, 7-5-1 simple math. if they win all three games they make the employoffs and if they lose at any point they will need help. a lot on the line as they get back to fedex field where they have not played in a calendar month. you have to go back to the 19th of last month to find the redskins beating green bay packers under the bright blinds of primetime and i break through game on a cold, windy night. hope to channel something similar if shawn mcvay or jay gruden. there's a lot at stake for the redskins that won four at straight at home. and in fact, won ten of the last 14 at home and suddenly this place is tough for visitors to play. i'm not sure any player has more on the line than josh normal veteran quaerlt back in the first season in washington. remember the panthers, where he became a star last year in carolina, as one of the premium players in the position of all of football, rescinded franchise tag they slammed on norman this off

they would pay him top five played player money in the position and decided we don't need him we have enough pass rush. they let him walk in free agency. first team to bring to sight was redskins and they demanded a contract be done. he made no bones about the fact he's frustrated he was unset with the decision of panthers to move on from him. he'll get a chance tonight to play former team and former sparring partner cam newton who he said he's competitive with and everything from practice field to playing checkers and pickup basketball teams out of the complex in charlotte. one player to keep an eye on is kirk cousin splendid over the last two years. lock at record, 9-4 mid point of the year he as highest quarterback rating in football and more so than elite passers in the game dating back to middle of last season when he had you like that moment in a come from behind game against the tampa bay bucks.

in need of a win. i'm here all evening long keeping you company from fedex field as we get you set for the redskins and panthers. >> stay warm. thank you. residents of -- c. are investigating a woman kidnapped and forced into a van and assaulted and robbed and then thrown out of the vehicle in the woodly park neighborhood. after tom fitzgerald he is there tonight you spoke with neighbors what did they have asoy about it. >> sarah we -- good evening we spoke to people in the neighborhood and we can tell you they're taking this very, very seriously. this is scary stuff. metropolitan police department tells thus the breast description of the suspects is this three african-american males fall late 30s all of them last seen in a white working van. now, that is who they are looking for. let's show you where this all took place. now

not vote for donald trump if that what who they were bound and expected to vote for. to give you background. they're called faceless elector when's they do not vote for the candidate who won their state. but to be clear they're not constitutionally bound to vote for that person. they are, however, often bound by state law or pledges with state parties. if they do not cast the vote they can be eliminated, disqualified or simply just charged a fine. that's really what they were hoping for for the campaign. the goal get at least 3 donald trump electors not to vote for him that would stop him from getting to 20 electoral votes and then push the vote for president to the house of representatives. and now when you hear all of this ux you really can't help but think back to all of the criticism that donald trump

the rigged system. that's what he called it. those were his word and also saying that he might not absent the results of the race. sgl it doesn't really show the kind of leadership and toughness you would want out of the president. you start whining before the game is over if when things going badly and you lose you start blaming somebody else then you don't have what it takes to be in this job. >> say you won't respect the results of the election? that is a direct threat to our democracy. >> saying that the election is rigged on the basis of nothing and that is really soar responsible. >> now, republicans also criticized donald trump, senator lindsay gram tweeted if he loses it will not be because the system is is rigged but because he failed as a candidate

well lock now that some democrats are leading this charge to not accept the results of the election, donald trump is weighing in on twitter this is what he had to say over the weekend. he said if my many supporters acted and threatened people like those that lost the election are doing they would be scorned and called terrible names. now even with all of today's efforts the first faceless elector was actually elector who refused to vote for clinton. oornlly a bernie sanders supporter. so what do you think of all of this. you know i love to hear from you andou know where to find me. face book and twitter at ronica cleary. reporting live at the wilson building i'm ronica cleary "fox5 local news". >> in interview monday night on cbs the first lady said her husband gave the nation hope. she sat with oprah winfrey five weeks after election of donald trump and the campaign aggressively against president-elect and argued trump is unfit to the president.
