window and i decided to go into the bathroom and once i got to the bathroom, i heard three gun shots and after that, i came out as soon as possible and i heard everybody scatter. i saw a group stay in front of the window of the restaurant. >> you saw the young man on the ground? >> i came. >> that's when i saw the guy laying down there and he was screaming. >> and we should have -- police believe there were words exchanged that he didn't necessarily know the person that shot him, but he may have had words. one of six people shot in the district. let's go to the tape. >> this should have been the scene from dc's halloween night. ghosts and goblins everywhere. instead, there is police crime scene tape, because six people were shot last night at five different locations. >> it's crazy. this is a neighborhood you never expect that to happen. >> georgetown, a bullet is lodged in the restaurant across from the four seasons hotel where a 17-year-old youth from southeast was shot.

>> it felt fairly secure. i sort of expected that. >> right. >> but it is shocking. >> d.c. police chief says an adult male has been arrested. a weapon recovered. he has not been charged with a 17-year-old shooting. >> i'm not aware of any trick or treating or costumes involved in this. >> this is georgia in decatur northwest. two people, 16-year-old male, 19-year-old female were shot here. about a block away, an 18-year- old female shot. police believe the two shootings were connected. no motive. no suspect at this point. >> nothing but the youngest. they got guns and they want to use them. >> halloween shootings prompted the mayor to call a press conference today. chief lanier says the violence had nothing to do with halloween. >> october is always one of our more challenging months. when the weather changes and the coats and the jackets and the baggy clothing starts to come on, it's easier to conceal

a handgun. having a gun available to you is alms a recipe for disaster. >> now, the two more shootings last night at about 8:15, a 16- year-old male was shot and later at 1:35 a.m. this morning, a 44-year-old male was shot and that was on n southeast. back to you. >> bruce johnson, thank you for that. and more dramatic testimony today at the brittany norwood trial when the lead homicide detective in that case took the stand. jim detailed his many hours interviewing norwood after she was considered a victim and not yet a suspect in the case. andrea mckaren has been in the courtroom since day one. she is live once again from rockville. andrea. >> derek, the injure watched detective drury's interview taped two days before her arrest. she asked me if there was any good news referring to the investigation says montgomery county police detective.

he's a veteran homicide investigator with a soothing voice and reassuring style. the lumulemon murder was to be his last active case assignment before retirement. you're one of the best sources because you were there, he tells norwood on the police video tape. norwood had been called to the police station to submit hair samples and fingerprints. detective drury, i definitely don't want to get ink in your cuts or anything. norwood, oh, it's not that bad. we now know norwood's blood was found inside jayna murray's car, which made the next line of questioning relevant. detective drury, do you know what kind of car jana drives? norwood, i don't. i saw it once. i don't know the make and model. earlier in the day, a police forensic specialist says how norwood could have bound her own hands and ankles. the sure print expert went on

to testify that jayna murray's shoes were not responsible for any of the bloody tracks throughout the store. and while police vigorously looked for four types of shoes based on norwood's original story of two intruders, crime scene investigators only found two. >> a couple more observations from today at the start of her police interview. brittany norwood asked one of the two police detectives if they could open her bottled water for her. she didn't have the strength or perhaps the gash in her hand prevented her from doing so. we watched in the courtroom as brittany norwood watched herself on video tape very intently. it was the most alert and attentive we have seen her since this trial began. we are joined live by our legal analyst. what struck you today? >> it's a web of lies. we heard from the morning, the shoe impression expert showed us where the footprints led.

in the afternoon, we heard hours of brittany norwood lying again about how this murder had occurred. what is more interesting is that none of that really furthered the case. the juror already know who's done it. juries love to know and find out. >> when the defense admitted the murder, it took away a lot of the drama and it took away a lot of the flair that the prosecution put on. >> now tomorrow we'll be hearing from the medical examiner. why is that going to be so significant? >> timing. the medical examiner would tell us when she died, how long it took, and it will be fascinating to see the difference between that testimony and the blood spatter testimony we heard earlier this week. >> thank you so much. back to you in the studio. >> thank you, andrea. andrea has been updating the latest from the courtroom all day long. she has been on facebook and twitter. you can follow all the developments by logging on to

our website, wusa9.com. testimony ended in the trial of michael jackson's personal doctor. both cases wrapped up their case. he will not testify in his own defense. murray pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter at jackson's death. prosecutors contend murray gave jackson a fatal dose of propofol. defense attorneys claim jackson gave himself the fatal dose. dr. murray could face up to four years in prison. he could also lose his medical license if convicted. on wall street, stocks sank after europe's plan -- was thrown into more chaos. greece's prime minister called a referendum and a no vote to bring a debt default in athens. that possibility caused stocks to drop worldwide. the dow finished the day down nearly 300 points closing at

researchers also found heavier drinkers, women who had 2 drinks per day increased their risk by 51%. compare to women who never drink. >> it's most important what someone does over a long period of time, not what she does over the past week or past month. >> doctors aren't quite sure what the connection is between alcohol and breast cancer. but they think it has something to do with how alcohol affects estrogen levels in the body. >> alcohol may also change the sensitivity of tissues to estrogen. >> it's up to the individual to weigh the risks. a woman with a history of breast cancer may want to cut down on her drinking. but a woman with heart problems may want to continue having a glass of wine. she will try to drink less. >> if i was in my 20s, it wouldn't matter to me. but with a history, definitely. >> who? >> family history.

that support us that enable us to do this work. we keep two trucks on the road. we get food from as far away as new jersey to feed people here in washington. and we also have wonderful partners like the food bank that you've been talking about who make it available to us as well. for us, it's a joy to not only feed the 160,000 hot meals, but also the 400,000 bags of groceries that go through us that reach the poor. many of these people are working, struggling, and need help. and if you can provide enough food for them, then they can use their money to pay the rent. >> we have a success story, jeff, who runs this kitchen here. tell us about him. >> jeff is now in charge. not just of our kitchen, but all of the activities to gain the food from around places like new jersey and maryland and pennsylvania. and he runs our distribution center. jeff came here in the early 90s
