selling to minors and still in business. new information on a startling plot using your school as the target. >> white mow deer falls out of an envelope and emergency responders race to the scene. could it be the kind of anthrax that killed here in washington 11 years ago? >> the panic is shared both in d.c. and in several other states that have received these letters in the last several days. authorities are trying to figure out why it's happening and who is responsible. gary nurenberg is here with the latest. >> derek this has been going on, on and off, since february. a government building in florida, schools in the northeast, and today washington. it looked like elementary school children were the target, the adams campus of the school was evacuate wednesday for two hours after white powder fell from a letter received there. authorities told 9news now initial field tests showed that the powder was not dangerous. letters were also received at

the willard hotel and a nearby business on f street. again, initial tests showed no danger. >> it's very hard to catch the perpetrator. that's the hard part says david willman, author of "the mirage man." there's an easy part. >> i think it's a very cheap, easy, and anonymous way for someone to try and make a point, or to grind an axe. they can bring a building to a halt, they can have it evacuated, they can in their way punish an institution. >> reporter: this week most of the institutions have been schools. this one in newington, connecticut, was one of two evacuated in that state. a similar story at this school in clinton. a postmark there showed arlington, texas. >> we did a shelter in place

which means students stayed within their classrooms. >> reporter: quick tests determined the powder was not dangerous, but as in the other schools, disruptive. in washington the fbi has the lead in the investigation, better prepared now than when d.c. was first hit in 2001. >> i think it's probably a nature and day difference it the fbi has the benefit of having mound the learning curve, not only of the anthrax letter attacks of 2001 but hundreds if not thousands of hoax letters that have come both before and after the anthrax attacks. the fbi tells 9news now it is currently investigating four incidents here in the d.c. area since monday that appear to be related but derek they're not certain of that. >> all right, gary nurenberg, we thank you. >> new at 11:00, seven people, including four andrea nakano firefighters, are taken to the hospital after an accident in glen burnie. this happened on richie highway near route 648. the fire fires were responding to an apartment fire when their

arrived they found a young man inside dead from an apparent gunshot wound, his identity not released. >> we're trying to determine just exactly what happened. it's still early. >> reporter: investigators say three young men, including the victim, were inside the house when this all went down. a man would is only identified as a young adult was subsequently taken into police custody for questioning. >> we're just talking with him at headquarters. we believe that we have the person who is there at the scene at the time of the shooting. >> reporter: as this homicide investigation continues well into the night, police officials say they don't believe this was gang related or a drug deal gone bad. they're hoping the man in their custody will cooperate and explain what led up to the shooting death. neighbors here are also left looking for answers. >> kind of scary to think because i was on my way to pick up my younger brother from the bus stop, so i didn't really know what was going on. >> reporter: that man in police

custody remains there tonight. he is being questioned. however, i'm told that he is not charged with anything at this hour. the name of the victim, the identity, also not released tonight as part of this investigation. we're live in aspen hill, ken molestina, 9news now. d.c. police are searching for suspects in the murder of a 20-month-old baby boy. this happened monday morning in the 3000 block of 30th street southeast. police say someone in a private car took the boy from that address to united medical center. the boy was then transported to children's hospital where he was pronounced dead. a rockville man behind bars after police say he tried to hire a hit man to kill his wife. the name daniel mendoza. police say the deal was $200

and a title to a car in exchange for killing the man's wife. >> mr. mendoza had been seeking someone to kill his wife. he said i want her dead. >> prosecutors say mendoza even went as far as going to the metro station to point out his wife to the hit man and show him her routes home. now he's being held without bond. a livelily exchange at a local meeting where commissioners were talking about what to do next. it was the focus of a recent 9news now investigation that some residents described as jaw dropping. this northwest washington liquor store on macarthur boulevard has allegedlily been selling to minors for years. andrea mccarren joins us now. >> reporter: anita, just this

afternoon, a hearing was held for the renewal of the liquor license. >> first i want to thank channel 9 for focusing attention. >> reporter: for the first time since our investigation, exposed town square mark as an alleged supplier of alcohol to minors across suburban washington, the neighborhood commission addressed the store's future. >> this is a horrible thing. it's in our backyard. >> they would sell to the underage, and they can still sell to underage, is that right? >> reporter: some commissioners were baffled and -- the store remained in business for weeks after our report, despite nearly 40 police citations issued to teenagers who purchase alcohol there. >> it is clearly in violation

of the law. why doesn't the agency put the license on hold asap and then figure out what they're going to do as opposed to allowing the store to continue to sell? are thingsing screwy here? >> i know that's breaking the law, too. >> reporter: the commission plans to make it clear what it thinks of town square market's apparent history. >> i think if we give justice time it will wind up working its way. >> reporter: the owner of town square market is now facing two. he will be in court next tuesday to face criminal charges. and abra is looking into his business practices to determine whether his store should have its license renew. every year the agency investigates 350 crashes

involving alcohol. that's the bad news. the good news, fairfax county is doing something about it. a grant will help police crack down on the people who sell alcohol to kids. who is selling it? we spoke with a 19-year-old police cadet who is helping carry out sting operations, and he says when it comes to buying booze without showing id he's had the most success at big- name grocery stores. >> reporter: do they ask for id and you say i don't have it? >> sometimes they do. sometimes they just ring it up, and we give them the cash and we're good to go. >> by the way, all you parents in virginia, it is illegal for you to host a party with alcohol for underage teens. an apology but no admission of guilt from karen tolls, a council woman accused of speeding at more than 100 miles per hour on the beltway. she spoke about this incident for the first time this afternoon but the council woman took no questions from the media. instead, she. >> i sin certainly regret the events that have transpired

which have proven to be a distraction to the business of the county council. i offer my utmost and sincere apologies for this to my constituents and colleagues as well as all county residents. >> police initially let her off with just a warning for speeding and gave her a ticket for improper. she could lose her license if found guilty of the charge of reckless driving. normally we worry about a storm brewing just a few hundred miles away, but tonight we're concerned with one 93 million miles away. >> this latest flare is the largest in five years. you can sort of see it. the waves moving away from it on the surface of the sun move

at a million miles. right now we've had no reports of any problems but that has happened in the past, especially back in nineteen join, but this was a massive solar flare, and it's been pretty active over the past couple months. all right, let's get back to earth. tomorrow, mild, 48 to 56, primarily in the 50s. 4 to 54 at 7:00. by 9:00 everybody is in the 50s. a milder start. that said, we've got big winds to talk about tomorrow and a cold front on the way. we'll explain. still ahead tonight, a new clothing trend seinfeld fans will enjoy. it's called

our health alert tonight is about hormone replacement therapy. the initiative has tracked tons of thousands of women. it showed several years ago that the hormone combo estrogen and progestin could increase breast cancer danger. since then most doctors have been telling their patients, avoid hrt or use it for the shortest time possible. now researchers say women in that same major study what took estrogen alone actually had a lower breast cancer risk for up to five years after taking the pill. estrogen alone is usuallily prescribed only to women who have had a hysterectomy. experts say that hormone deserves another look. >> the school board that is meeting tonight in southern california might actually get to watch a little porn. why? to figure out whether one of their teachers is moonlighting

as porn star. here's a clip from one of her alleged scenes. we blurred out the good parts, of course. for now she's been placed on leave from the school where she teaches 7th grade science. the staff is doing what they can do to discourage those 7th grade boys from doing a little investigating of their own with their phones and ipads. >> we're trying to work with the parents to have the parents be vigilant and monitor what their children are doing. >> good luck with that. if the teacher is moonlighting in front of the camera california state law does say, even though she's not doing anything criminal, she could be fired on moral grounds. have you heard the one about the lottery winner who buys groceries with food stamps? this is not a joke. a 24-year-old michigan woman won a million dollar lottery. she bought a house and a car, her mom says, but she still gets and uses food stamps. today she defended herself to a reporter.

>> taxpayers are really struggling that really need that money. do you really think you have a right to that money? >> i mean, i kind of do. i mean, i have no income, and i have bills to pay. >> okay. but did you win the lottery. apparently she did nothing illegal, and michigan lawmakers are working on legislation to block big money lottery winers from tapping into public welfare. here's the question. what makes for a real manly man? these days it may be tougher and tougher to tell, but derek says he knows what it's not. >> fellows, his name is emilio, he's an italian designer, and he would really like if the you buy a pair or two of these. some call them manty-hose, but what they are is titteds for dads. just putting some skulls on them that does not make it any better. gentlemen, one of the great things about being a guy, no

matter how dress-up we get, we're still wearing pants. need more insulation? buy some long johns. a really manly guy doesn't like to show off his body like that. modesty, that's the manly way. i know what you're thinking, what's wrong with a little pizzazz? nah, the modern man has no interest in showing off that way. refined, never screaming look at me, look at me. no, mr. cavalini, i don't care how many guys may buy into your fancy manty-hose, real men know black is always the new black. and tights could never be a part of that equation. >> love that one, derek. >> amen. >> where did you find all those? especially the bike stuff. who wears really tight bike

outfits? >> i can't imagine. 57 today, anita, and perhaps warmer tomorrow. >> it's spring. come on. >> it is. >> we're looking at even warmer air tomorrow. also windier, then we do have some changes. let's have a live look outside, corner of van ness and wisconsin. we still have some pretty good winds out there. they are going to really blow tomorrow. 55 right now. pressure today 30.36 inches of mercury. most of us are going to end up in the 50s tonight for lows. windy and warmer tomorrow. wet thursday night. that's kind of g. most of the showers will be confined to the nighttime hours on thursday. we will be in pretty good shape on friday. we will be breezy and cooler, then saturday is going to be a little bit on the chilly side. in fact, lower temperatures just a shade also on saturday. remember tuesday, yesterday,

that's what saturday is going to be like. bright to brisk, as we say. here's the future could. tomorrow morning sunshine, no problems at all, dry for the commute. by afternoon you can certainly walk to lunch, a few scattered clouds. there could be some showers at hagerstown and in the mountains but not in the immediate metro area. even by 6:00 p.m. on thursday here come the showers. we'll see some showers across most of the metro area. it's all green which is generally light activity. maybe moderate as it goes through southern maryland. early morning, pretty good shape, clearing sky. even by lunch. it will usher in cooler air on friday. overnight breezy, milder, maybe a one-blanket night, unless you're wearing those man

tights. 48 to 54. winds voted the southwest at 10 to 20. now, tomorrow morning partly cloudy, breezy and mild, a light jacket, 40s 0. by afternoon you will be carrying that jacket. partly cloudy, windy and warmer. high 65 to 70. winds out of the southwest at 15 to 25 and gusty. we saw a 33 miles per hour wind gust today. we will probably see perhaps a 40 miles per hour wind gust tomorrow. we'll break it down. 48 to 54 to start. by noon in the ticket. next seven days, we did lower temperatures a little bit on friday. back to around 55 p. i lowered it from 50 to 40. at least it won't be windy on saturday. you lose an hour on saturday. push the clocks ahead as we return to daylight-saving time.

plus, those tights, i have hair op my legs. they would to. >> that's what it is. tights for top. >> get the ones with the skulls. >> what are we looking at? >> peyton, peyton, peyton. >> did you even to have ask? >> where will peyton manning play fopped. plus, fans of the verizon center started cheering for the lakers but soon

$28 million and a first- round pick in this year's draft, those are the reasons the indianapolis colts decided to part ways with peyton manning. the colts are in the myth of a rebuilding phase and expected to take andrew luck in the draft so keeping peyton around became too risky and too costly. so where will he go next?

manning caused a little uproar earlier when he was seen touching down in miami just hours after the press conference in a o.j. simpson-like, they've got a helicopter following his vehicle. the dolphins are considered one of the teams vying for pay top, but turns out he does have a condo over there, and he's just trying to get some r&r. manning says he hasn't even thought about his next move. >> i literally have not had one conversation with anyone about these teams. it's been so hard for me trying to figure out some closure with my situation with the colts. i haven't thought about teams. i don't know who is interested, i really don't. this is all new to me. >> here's a look at how manning's career numbers stack up. you can see why they're all wanting him badly. out of the redskins, card signal, dolphins, and jets, manning's stats surpass these teams in every category. the wizards have already

beaten the best team in the league this season but if i told you john wall had just four points against the lakers tonight, would you think perhaps the wizards got crushed? that couldn't be further from the truth. the lakers in town, which means larger than normal crowds at the verizon center. time winding down. kobe is backing up. the wizards come back. in the fourth, down two, roger mason with a big three to take the lead. wall finds nick young for the dagger. he had 19 off the bench. the wizards upset the lakers 106-101 beating them for the first time in 10 straight games. to the college game, georgetown taking on pittsburgh. hoyas with a 16-2 run to end the first half. henry simms get the generous roll there. he has 20 points.

in the second. he had 20 as well. george town wins and will face cincinnati in the quarterfinals tomorrow. that game is at 2:00. >> we like it when the local teams roll. >> it's nice. >> very nice. >> rare but
