the window was half way up. he said stop or i'll shoot and really didn't think he was going to do it, but she got the window all the way up and that's when he shot and she took a left out of the parking lot here and he stepped out in the street and fired five more times. >> the officer wasn't dragged at all. he says he couldn't have caught his arm in there because he fired through the glass. this case remains under investigation. >> a former university of virginia lacrosse player now on trial for killing his exgirlfriend told police he wrestled and shoved yeardley love, but never hit her. today, jurors in george huguely's trial viewed a police interrogation video taken the very day love was found dead. and in that tape, huguely tells the police he went to love's apartment, quote, just to talk, but she started screaming and hit her head against the wall, he said. he also said love looked like a fish out of water. when police tell him she's dead, huguely sobs and denies

that calling them liars. huguely and at least two of the jurors wept while the tape was playing. >> strong emotions as well in annapolis over gay marriage. governor martin o'malley testified before a house of delegates committee pushing his bill to legalize same sex marriage. he said his bill would give gay couples equal rights. some church leaders spoke forcefully in favor of the bill. and a few lawmakers traded sharp words with one another in the debate. >> on to a 9news now update. the national park service announced how it's going to fix a quote inscribed on the new memorial to martin luther king, jr. the paraphrase reads, i was a drum major for justice, peace, and righteousness. the correction will be taken from the full quote in a recorded speech king gave just two months before he was assassinated. it reads, yes, if you want to

southeast coast that will skim us tonight. give us a little bit of rain showers. even into places like charles county. but you folks are already getting snow in frederick along i-81 and that's where the advisories have been posted. good time to down load our weather app. search for wusa radar. all right, here's the deal. 1 to 2 inches possible. even in the metro area by 11:00 p.m. on saturday night. now roads are going to be slick, even in the metro area by saturday night because temperatures are going to go below freezing and windchills tomorrow night, 5 to 15. i think we'll have wind gusts over 40 miles per hour by tomorrow everyoning. sunday, dry, but very cold as we struggle to get above freezing again. here's the deal. tomorrow morning, notice how the snow began to work it way south. still rain in southern maryland, but we get a break either side of lunchtime, except for the mountains. here comes the arctic air. with the front and the wind,

this is when we had the best chance of snow showers in the afternoon and evening on saturday. probably ending before midnight on sunday. but, because of that, i think we're going to see snow showers that may accumulate, oddly enough, east of town and south of town into southern maryland. so, not tonight, but tomorrow night you could see maybe an inch over toward anne arundel county, prince georges county, charles county, and even down into parts of southern maryland. an inch to an inch and a half near frederick and hagerstown because you have two shots at the snowfall. tomorrow night, rain and snow showers, cold, 1 to 2 inches possible. frederick north and west to hagerstown to martinsburg and winchester. lows in the 30s. primarily above freezing in town. tomorrow morning, early snow showers possible and cold. dress in layers. temperatures aren't going to do much tomorrow. in fact, they are going to go down in the afternoon.

so windy and cold. more snow showers. i think the roads could become slick at night. temperatures around 40, but falling. winds northwest 15 to 30 with gusts probably to 40. we may well see a wind advisory posted tomorrow as well. so, we'll break it down. 30s to start. rain and snow showers. a break at noon. 38 to 42 and more snow showers by evening. temperatures in the 30s and with snow showers, they can look intense for a while, but move away quickly. so on sunday after everything rolls through, 33 and then 42 on monday. now the next seven days. we got snow back in the forecast on tuesday. a light system. temperatures around 40. then we're looking at upper 40s wednesday, near 50 on thursday. a little bit of light snow possible again on friday. temperatures around 30. follow me on twitter. >> and if there's snow, are you going to tweet about that? >> yeah. >> that's exciting.

>> you know, a couple weeks ago they played the toronto raptors tickets were going for $1. >> from king james, and john wall, he did his thing tonight, too. a game played high above the cylinder. you got your money's worth. maryland's number one recruit making his call. if you haven't met him, you're about to. check it out

my grandson "t" always tells me i worry about him too much.

well, i was sick with worry when he came home from afghanistan 'cause he came home wounded. not a wound you could see. it was post-traumatic stress disorder. my "t" couldn't sleep. he was angry all the time. then i heard about wounded warrior project. now, i don't know everything they do, but my "t" is smiling again. one out of every five warriors return from the battlefield with post-traumatic stress disorder. help support them at woundedwarriorproject.org. and now, 9 sports with dave owens. the best sports in town. >> lebron james, they pour in 50 a game and they create a rock star buzz that follows them everywhere. the miami heat landing in d.c. tonight. randy saying i'm not going to be a gracious host. john walsh, politician on a mission. how about that? pretty behind. wizards up 5 early. emphasize the word early.

decision. >> the top 15 recruits waited until 7:30 tonight, making the announcement in front of family and friends in college park. time for our hoops game. undefeated gar field. that's garfield head coach, andy gray getting pumped up and defense. not what we had in mind. wilson for the trade. i didn't know. apparently it can. later on, his milk shakes bring all the boys to the yard. the scoop behind the back, he had 14. indians remain undefeated. hosting gonzaga. early on, he is getting a nice jumper here. but he was up by 2, but right before the half, lyles, the bank apparently is open this
