herbal remedies. friends say they don't know why anyone would want to harm someone who helped so many. the homicide stuns many. >> she's know nice. >> reporter: this man was a young patient of the doctor. >> she's a good doctor. i trust her. i really trust her. >> reporter: police say auh was found friday afternoon tied up in the bathroom and stabbed in the room on little river road. the investigation also may have gotten to a slow start as police deployed both spanish and korean-speaking officers to help in the situation. >> has it been a challenge? yes. it's always a challenge. we want to make sure that we get the proper information. in this case, it's merely

slowed us down. >> reporter: friends say chung auh would often help people even if they didn't have the money to pay her. they are hoping she did not suffer herself. >> some senior people, they don't have that much money. she helped a lot. i don't understand what's going on. i really don't understand why something happened here. >> reporter: police do not have any suspect information to give us but they do say they are following several leads. police have been talking with patients and those who had appointments with the victims. if you at home know anything about this case, police want to talk to you. bruce? >> thank you surae. all of the parties have agreed to meet at white house for fence mending and maybe a beer. the president, the arresting officer and the harvard university professor taken into custody at his home say it's time to move on.

resolved. >> reporter: the police union supporting the officer say they aappreciate the president's mark. some influential members of the black community agree. >> this racially is something that need not take off and look and feel the way it is beginning to look and feel. >> reporter: according to his brother, officer crowley hopes to put this issue behind him and put life back to normal. >> lindsey mastis has been talking to people down at the mall. has this become a teaching moment? >> reporter: well, many have said there is a lot to be learned by this, and by having the officer and gates at the white house, is it going to

resolve the issue? people along the national mall have mixed feelings. >> there are a lot of bigger issues to be worried about than something trivial like this. i would think we should get beyond it. >> i think it will let both sides to get to the understand how to get to the point. >> they don't really want to talk to each other. i think it was good for president obama to try to figure this whole thing out. >> i think it's bringing more attention to a story than it deserves. i don't think the story is as big a deal as people are making it to be. >> reporter: some people say this has been overdebated in the media. but other people i talked to had not even heard about what happened. there's no doubt, bruce, this is still a hot issue. i'm lindsey mastis, 9news now & 9news.com. >> thank you. that first debate of the

upcoming virginia gubernatorial debate took place. creigh deeds and mcdonnell squared off. both candidates agree transportation is the key to rebuilding the safe economy. neither would commit to higher taxes to highway transportation projects. both had something to say about the role of federal governments. >> you stand up for the citizens in the interest of your state and not just say it's a federal issue, i can't do anything about it. i will exercise that leadership of government. i will do everything i can to restore this. >> you have to work to maintain this. that will be working with our congressional delegation and a respectful relationship with the government and iron out problems we have this common. >> mcdonnell wanted deeds to join him in the bill that he

says would harm local businesses. deeds said it would protect the right of workers to vote secretly to unionize workplaces. metro says the operator who opened the train door is on paid leave. they say the operator took a drug and alcohol test after metro was informed about the incident. that incident happened thursday on the greenline at the waterfront station. this is the third time this year this has happened. no injuries so far. protesters around the world are calling on iran to end the clamp down on "operation act visits." they have planned protests in more than 80 cities, including here in washington. the demonstrators want iranian authorities detained. iranian police and detained

good for her. >> that's awesome. >> i didn't know. >> that we had a female team? >> no. >> yeah. it's humid. >> it surprised me. we had some thunderstorms pop up this afternoon. i thought we were gonna get through the day without any rain. some storms came out. there they are. a metimes you know, you put forecast together. all of the ingredients point to inthand onthmeelsog in sean happens. that's what tpp edenoday. edtams coming out of the thouns.in ing severe. we do have rain to notalk about we'll start with the 9 doppler. got a pretty good storm going through the frederick area. these are not severe but i wouldn't be surprised if they dropped a little bit of small hail and heavy rain briefly. they are moving to the east at about 25 miles per hour. so they will be damascus, gaithersburg in the next half

hour. zo out and wel keta a witader vi ewin thnog happening over the thty cn ea of the town. if you are going out tonight, take an umbrella. just in case. let's take a look at the three- day trend. again, a chance for showers and storms on sunday. that would be late in the day again. high temperature near 87. lesser chances on monday and tuesday. so specifically for tonight, partly cloudy skies, chance for a shower or thunderstorm, low temperatures near 70. during the day tomorrow, a little cooler than today. ghhiin the mid- to upper 80s but still that chance for a shower or thunderstorm. sunrise tomorrow morning at 6:04. there's no severe weather around here. but a severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for the counties up in pennsylvania. those of you watching near the state line probably have a better chance of seeing severe weather than most of us down around the city. this is where most of the energy is located as it comes through. you can see more storms the chl

kel the chance for a shower and thunderstorm through the overnight period. current temperatures range from 70 in winchester, to still 90 at national airport. 89 at bwi. it's a little muggy outside. a cold front will be approaching during the day tomorrow. that will be the trigger mechanism for the storms in the afternoon on sunday. as soon as that goes by in the evening, things should clear up and i think the monday morning commute will be just fine. but just about every day next week, we'll put a chance for a thunderstorm in the forecast. hit-and-miss storms. the temperatures will be closer to where they should be this time of year, upper 80s to around 90. so a very typical d.c. summer forecast for next week. >> thank you, tony. appreciate. three bald eagles back in their natural happy tat. tonight they were released by the wildlife of virginia. one of them was destroyed,

another had punctured knees. >> i don't know if i want to stand right there whether they release them. i would give them -- >> give them a little room. we have nats info. >> yes, an unfortunately, it may not be the best nats info. would one of the family's positives be slipping away? negotiations and why the star pitcher may want to stay away from the team. and fred funk's quest for ee the title is hitting a rough spot. that's ahead. b@b@

if you take away the abysmal record, nats have one small grain of hope to kline to -- the future and the most important piece of that scenario could also be in

jeopardy. the hot draft steven straussberg has 24 days to strike a deal. "the washington post" quotes an anonymous source close to the player saying why would you ever go to an unknown? the lack of a gm being named is a major concern, one the team president addressed recently. >> i strive my whole career valuing consistency, stability. and wayen to get to that -- i want to get to that here. we're not there yet. i am doing all i can to get us there. >> no timetable named for a gm. astros play the padres. jd martin from the nationals has an 11.25 e.r.a. on to soccer and dc united.

they hit the field out west, visiting a san jose team, last in its conference standings, yet presenting a massive challenge only because the black and red have won upon the road once this entire season. that won happened almost three months ago in new york. united is coming off two u.s. open wins and and an mls victory which is feeding the confidence. >> we won two in a row. we're on a stretch. we play every third or fourth day. it's important that we start well and continue to the streak of a winning mentality. we have to continue it. wnba all-star game. putting on a show early on. draining the three from the corner. that gets them within 1. in the 4th, the west would pull away, up by 8. sends that to 10. the west beats the east, 130-

118. golf and the senior british open. fred funk led by 3 going in the day. here he misses the easy par putt. 2 over now. your leader, greg norman on the birdie would give him the lead. he enters the final round with a 1-shot lead over funk. team tennis. blink and you might have missed it. tomorrow they have a chance to end it by winning it. washington rallied to win the eastern conference crowd last night against new york advancing to the team finals against springfield. it will be held here in d.c. on a roster filled with players who have won how a win tomorrow would rink. >> i'm very passionate about my tennis. it's not the u.s. open.

it's world tennis. i have to go out there and play with my heart and mind, dive balls and help my teams out. >> audrey barnes plays in the celebrity match. >> audrey can beat most of them. let's take one more look at the seven-day forecast. a chance for showers and thunderstorms again tomorrow. probably late in the day, high near 87. thanks for watching. the cbs evening news is next. we'll see you back here at 11:00. good night. b@
