mother charged after her her september her daughter to school with a. and the black friday rush underway. but did you take the proper precautions to keep your identity safe from hackers the news at five starts now. and happy thanksgiving everyone, thanks for coming out of your turkey coma and joining us here at five. we do appreciate it. in case you haven't noticed, black friday shopping it has already started. it started weeks ago for some somebody. some people spent the day lined up outside of best buy. that's where we find fox5's anjali hemphill. i wonder if their families said we're cool with this. i think it's a little bit of both. some people decided to bring the family along, others decided to ditch them and cash in on some of those deals. many years ago this started being called gray thursday where those black friday deals

. i can tell you you that these gray thursday fls anything but dismal. i think the last chunk of people that are being led in, they have been standing outside since way before five. they have been let ting people in since 5:00. we still have a line outside the door that is of course bought funnies in here. you wouldn't know it is still thursday with all the black friday signs off. some people waiting to cash in on 40, 50 percent off, sometimes more. this gray thursday has been controversial lately. this has been despite by some say thol days should be spent home with family. many stores like wall nart, colorados, best buy remain open. we did speak to young brothers earlier this afternoon who waited more than three hours in line to get a laptop they were looking for and they really fitiond out how to

to shop while mom and dad stayed at home and cooked. i come here wait in line and when thee got in we'd call our parents and then they would come. they have to pay forth stuff, right. >> right. our plans are at home my mommies cooking the turkey. when we're done with this we're going to go back home and eat the turkey and celebrate thanksgiving. what are you getting today. >> a laptop. why did you you have to come on thanksgiving day >> because we didn't want rveg to be gone by the time we got here tomorrow. you can see they're still letting them in and they're still very excited, none of them being taken down by that turkey coma just yet. best buy a along with several other stores are open today. some are not. this best buy will stay open until one in the morning and then it will reopen tomorrow at 8 a.m.

stalk about football on thanksgiving. the annual turkey championship took on some new cig gans this year. this is video of a brawl earlier this month between players at wood son and eastern high schools. wood son had to play the game with more than a dozen players suspended because of the fight. nine players appealed their punishment, but officials oanl other than every over turned one player's suspension. fox's paul wagner watched from the sidelines and has the story for us. >>reporter: it was a battle all day done, for hc wood son down 17 players and using a third string quarterback. but in the end ballou pulled it out. the tone of the game was set early on with two quick touchdowns by ballou. hz wood son did its best with the players it had, fighting with back with two interceptions and eventually two touchdowns of its own. ballou played the better game and came out

bowl trophy now theirs after wood son had won it the last two years. the principal stood by his decision in face of criticism from the former mayor and former council member vincent gray. there are people who have more to lose, i think that's an important lesson that we want to make sure that our students learn now and that is that it's important at all times to be in control of your emotions the best you can and when you find yourself heated it's really important that you don't allow yourself to lose control. my issue has been the lack of fairness and equity involved in this. you got kids who were suspended from wood son who can't play in this turkey bowl today. eastern season's is over. they are suspended for a game for next year. that means also you will have kids who will graduate from eastern high school in year. there will never be a consequence for what they did. it

fairness in equity. they should have gone ahead and suspended kids from wood son for next season as well and it would have been a much more fair and and equitable suspension. hd wood son it's a tough lesson to learn . at eastern high school, paul wagner, fox five local news >> nice sunny out there. and now it's dark. not so much. that whole sunset thing will get you every time. the football games are earlier and we're getting ready for another football game over fedex field. the redskins playing in just a couple of hours. >> and it's going to be cold. >> not as sunny and bright. >> it took me off guard. it's five:30. it was bright and sunny a couple of hours ago. anything could be going on outside we have no clue. >> a different day, it doesn't matter. i would have to say this was one of the nicest look ing thank

a radio transmission and the sound of apparent gunfire and evidence of a struggle visible on detective sooter's clothing. >> police also say body camera video from first responding officers shows that suiter was still holding the radio that he made the emergency call from when officers found him. so far police have no suspects in the case. it was a rough start to thanksgiving at reagan national after tsa busted a gun who was carrying a loaded gun. tsa spot ted the gun in one of the monitors. the gun was confiscated and they sited him on weapon charges. fire damaged a home, the first one ripped through a home in clinton off bellefonte lane just before three people. three kids, two adults woke up in time thanks to a, woulding smoke detectivor. they think it started on the second floor after an electrical wire caught fire. today is thanksgiving. i

you going to do? >> nothing, just i'm sad, you know. i don't know. i can do nothing. >> some of our most tragic fires have happened on thanksgiving and unfortunately holidays in general. a lot of family members together and lights and christmas trees. it's becoming that time of season so we're going to see more of that. another fire broke out at a home off trunl lane and this one started on a rear deck of the home involving the family's grill. in most l both cases the red cross is helping the famil ies out with a place to stay. the thanksgiving holiday is bringing some changes to your trash collection times. if you normally place your garbage and recycling bins on thursday they will now be collected on friday if your day is friday, of course you see the pattern here. you can place your bins out on saturday. one day delay. exactly. holiday

message from the girl scouts is really ruffling some feathers. why some people the organization is over stepping their boundar ies when it comes to thanksgiving and christmas. first, brody logan at fed ex field ahead of the big game tonight. brody, how cold is it? >> it's getting colder, it's probably in the upper 30s and getting colder. i have my glove s ready. they can become mightance at any time. the redskins playing on thanksgiving , it's kind of the pie on the end of your night. we'll have a preview coming up.

>> if your kids don't feel like handing out hugs this holiday you may not want to force the issue. the national girl scout organization is warning parents not to insist that their children hug their relatives. it is a story that we had earlier on fox5. what people think about this holiday parent ing message. >>reporter: a controversial message to parents from the girl scouts with a blog post entitled reminder she doesn't oh nina hug not even at the holidays. i just felt like that was over stepping the bounds of what girl scouts is all about. not forc ing children or anye
