is something they will never forget. >> you don't think about it. the little one didn't know what happened. he was very nervous. >> i just got off the phone with andy. he was one of the police officers who was rushed to the hospital. he was still hacking and coughing when i talked to him on the phone and he said when the fire was going on back there, it was pitch black, so smoky that you almost could not see your hand in front of your face. but he said there was no way that he was leaving that tunnel without getting everybody out safely. anita. >> can't imagine how nauseous that was. thanks a lot. lesli. >> the first shoe dropped in the federal investigation into d.c. mayor, vincent gray's election campaign. prosecutors charged thomas score, assistant campaign treasurer with three misdemeanors and felony obstruction of justice. bruce johnson has been on this story from the beginning. bruce, so this stems from the

money orders that the gray campaign paid to sulaimon brown. who was then running for mayor. >> these charges come out when the mayor and others are in las vegas at a retail convention. it's hard to get to them for reaction, but this is big. it's that obstruction of justice charge that could send him to prison. >> d.c. mayor had insisted from the beginning after winning the election in 2010 that he did nothing wrong. >> first of all, we never authorized any of that. >> federal prosecutors are convinced there was a lot going wrong that unseated mayor, adrian fenty. >> after people engaged in wrong doing, they need to be held accountable. >> suleiman brown had claimed he was promised a job in the gray administration and his campaign had been given money orders to help him stay in the race to criticize the incumbent. brown got the job, but was

eventually fired. >> vincent gray's campaign specifically, mayor vincent gray, gave me cash and money orders to maintain my campaign for mayor, cover living expenses, and attack then mayor fenty during the 2010 mayoral race. >> the charges say prosecutors believe suleiman brown's account. in a four count document, charged with using candidate a's campaign funds to purchase money orders that were then donated to candidate b's campaign. using somebody else's name. sources say candidate a is gray and candidate b is sulaimon brown. there are three money orders totaling $535. one felony charge accuses thomas of trying to obstruct the investigation by destroying the notebook containing records of the payments to brown. >> it's deeply troubling. i know tom gore, and he's a

standup guy that has done a lot on behalf of the city. >> tommy wells and others were surprised by charges against gore. a straight shooter according to everybody we talk with today. he grew up in foster care and helped run a nonprofit educational consulting firm. gore lives in southeast d.c. in the home of his former foster parents. he has been treasurer to three past campaigns for vincent gray. >> he has been a good guy. the charges are shocking. >> shocking indeed. that's not the end of it. these are no longer just charges. we learned there's a plea hearing tomorrow in federal court. mr. gore is expected to enter guilty pleas to some or all of these charges and lesli, this is just the beginning. prosecutors have others lined up. >> a lot to come. bruce, thank you. back into the studio. >> thank you, lesli. >> no, i didn't. >> we've got new information tonight on a 9 news investigation we brought you earlier in the year. richard kim, the owner of the

town square market in northwest went on trial today for allegedly selling alcohol to a minor. andrea mccarren was in that courtroom. she's live at d.c. superior court. this has been your story from day the first. >> reporter: yeah, we had been following it since december of last year, derek. as you know, and just minutes ago, a 17-year-old high school junior from mcclane, virginia, testified that in february, on february 18 of this year, he went to town square market, bought 30 containers of beer, and a bottle of blueberry vodka from town square market and specifically from store owner, richard kim, who is on trial. the teenager said he was asked for identification, but he handed over a pennsylvania driver's license with someone else's photograph on it. it belonged to a 22-year-old. but the license had expired in 2010. still, the 17-year-old

testified that mr. kim sold him all of that alcohol. two police officers also testified that they were waiting outside the store in an unmarked vehicle and arrested the 17-year-old and mr. kim that night. now an odd defense argument emerged just moments ago and that is the public defender said the prosecution never approved that it was actually alcohol in those sealed bottles. police didn't smell it and didn't taste it. said the public defender, i can go to 34th street and broadway in new york and buy calvin kline's obsession clone cologne. both sides rested their case, but the judge will make a ruling tomorrow. the trial resumes tomorrow at 2:30. reporting live, andrea mccarren, 9news now. >> we were surprised when he didn't plead guilty. now we see they have some

endorsing same-sex marriage when 60% of african americans don't. >> we understand -- >> benjamin, taking a moment to collect himself because the issue of marriage equality touches him to the core. these are jealous' parents, a couple who had to leave maryland to get married in 1966 because race mixing was illegal. >> my parents own marriage was against the law at the time. and they had to return here to baltimore after getting married in washington, d.c. >> naacp endorsed same-sex marriage in hopes that the resolution will encourage more african americans to do the same. >> we have always stood against laws which demean, dehumanize, or dediscriminate against any person in this great country. >> they are not speaking for everybody. they are not the same naacp of

years ago. derek mccoy of beltsville remain unmoved. >> this is one of the places where they are out of step with culture. obviously, that is not the widespread sentiment of their relationship. that was not the widespread sentiment of many people involved for years. >> civil marriage like all civil rights provided by the government must be provided equally to all. >> he hopes the naacp's endorsement will be a game changer in the african american community. his opponents say the announcement has done little more than fire up the opposition more. in baltimore, scott broom, 9news now. >> gay marriage opponents are collecting signatures to put the same-sex marriage law passed by the legislature to a voter referendum come november. >> d.c. councilman is expected to get out of the las vegas hospital soon after being treated for a blood clot. the former mayor is in las vegas for a retail convention. he says he got that clot while

foundation. that's not how i was raised. family and education. that's what it's all about. and i think without my mom, especially my mom's diligence about education, i would never have gone to stanford. she was always on me about that. education must come first. she was always on me about improving my brain, get smarter. it became second nature to me. eventually, i got lucky enough where i got a scholarship to stanford. i realize i had a long way to go. so many bright people. but it fit into how i was raised and that was the direction we took the foundation. >> the preparedness thing struck me. the young gentleman wasn't prepared. you had a similar experience. does that play a part in making the foundation switch to an education focus, things like that when you heard stories like that? >> no, it's not why we did it,

but it became a by-product of it. once we started getting into session and started realizing that stem was a way to go for us, once we started seeing that these kids are not prepared, they are behind the curve. everyone is second nature to have an iphone or ipad or i touch, these kids never had one. and how are you supposed to compete? they are left behind. they have never been on google. they don't understand that. they don't understand what a search engine is. you are so far behind and we are not going to leave kids behind. we are going to get them up to speed and be front runners and that's what we're doing. >> tiger woods foundation donated up to $14 million in and around this area alone in education. but of course, the last week in june into the first day of july, everybody is excited about golf here at congressional country club and again, tiger is glad to be back. we want to give you a preview.

bye for his daughter and care for his four month old granddaughter. >> if you would be able to tell me a little bit about your daughter. >> i'm not as close with her as i should have been or wish i was. it's hard to talk about. >> samantha is in the room, invisible, a virtual ghost witnessing her father's pain. >> does she have a lot of friends? >> yes, sir. >> maybe we can get people to sign the casket. >> the funeral director gives justin a teddy bear to give to his granddaughter. a matching one will go in samantha's casket. >> she'll know it was with her mom at one time. >> she wouldn't remember really anything about her mom, but she would have that teddy bear to hold on to. >> a father's pain is about to deepen. >> there are several kinds of caskets. >> first thing you show me are the price sheet, that doesn't really matter. i want the best for her, but

talking about the teddy bears and where to bury her, that's the worst part. where it's going to be from now on and for ever. >> i can guess, probably get whatever you want. might take me longer, but i'll get it. >> as a parent herself, samantha feels the heartbreak. >> and she'll see how much her mom was loved and later on we'll talk about getting a monument and how we can make that more personal. we can come right this way. >> it's interesting, you get two years to plan a wedding and three days to plan a funeral. >> you take care. >> we'll help you all the way through this process. >> i feel like we have a second chance that we need to spend more time together. >> i couldn't imagine not being there for her. >> the exercise is designed to make teenagers see how their families would be affected by their premature death. but in the case of justin and samantha, it could lead to

their being closer in life. >> i love you. >> i love you, too. >> in centerville, maryland, andrea mccarren, 9news now. >> that visit to a funeral home, that's one element of the four-night reset program. though many of the teenagers are referred there, the class is available to anyone under the age of 21 for a small fee. you want more information, go to our website, wusa9.com. look under the 9 wants you to know tab. : coming up, a search in the number of teenages for ravaging adult diseases. we'll talk about it. >> and aftershock is continuing to rock northern italy after a deadly earthquake that dates back hundreds of years. >> we are always on at wusa9.com. we'll be right back.

tents tonight after a deadly earthquake. the 6.0 quake killed 7 people in the region yesterday. a cathedral and town hall were damaged along with three churches just in one town. a clock tower built in the year 1213 collapsed. the extent of the destruction is still being assessed. >> the death toll is now up to 96 after a suicide bombing in yemen. it happened during a military parade rehearsal in the capital near the presidential palace. investigators say the attacker was a soldier taking part in that rehearsal. they say the bombing occurred moments before the defense minister and chief of staff arrived. it was one of the deadliest attacks on the city in months. a local military museum with pretty shocking exhibits reopened today in its new home. we're talking about the national museum of health and medicine. the museum moves out of the walter reid complex at the annex in silver spring. the medical museum contains hundreds of thousands of human

brain specimens and other body parts. it also has the bullet that killed president abraham lincoln. coming up, the federal task force makes its final recommendation on prostate cancer screening for middle- aged men and it's kind of a shocker. i'm kristen berset live at redskins park. the redskins wrap up day one of ota's, but not before a scare with mike shanahan. we'll have more coming up next.

kind of a bomb shell in tonight's health alert. the psa screenings have been a source of controversy for many years. a lot of false positives. now a federal task force recommends against blood tests for all men no matter their age. the u.s. preventive services task force say there's strong evidence that it leads to unnecessary tests and treatments that can be harmful to men. the american cancer society agrees doctors shouldn't use

them for routine screening for prostate cancer, but many argue the psa does save lives. >> we go backward and we totally abandon screening, then we're going to go back to the 1980s when prostate cancer was a death sentence. >> not clear how all this new federal recommendation will affect insurance reimbursement. men are diagnosed every year. now, we're going to talk about a disease that used to be seen in older people. in fact, type 2 diabetes is called adult on set. but a study released today shows the number of teenagers with type 2 keeps rising sharply. >> perry has type 2 diabetes and all the health problems that come with it. >> so this is considered a high blood pressure. >> doctors diagnosed her when she was just 15. >> chip, candy, cookie. >> that was me.

so i probably happen faster. >> part of a disturbing trend, according to a new trend out today in the journal of pediatrics. between 1999 and 2008, the percentage of teenagers with prediabetes and diabetes jump from 9 to 23%. >> this leads possibly, if we don't intervene, to younger and younger people getting cardiovascular disease. and it's a wakeup call to work on aggressive treatment and prevention. >> heart disease and diabetes can go hand in hand and in this case, the teenagers most at risk were overweight or obese and already had heart risk factors like high cholesterol and high blood pressure. >> these are things that only grandma gets and then they are taking two, three, four medications. it's expensive, they have side effects, and their friends aren't doing it. >> perly has to check her blood sugar and give herself

insulin shots. admits she wasn't always a willing participant. >> i was in denial because at 15, i wasn't paying attention to it. so i just ignored it. >> ignoring the disease. not getting diabetes under control cannot only hurt the heart, it contributes to blindness later in life. sometimes even the loss of limbs. you couldn't see it here, but people in other parts of the world were treated to a rare event over the weekend. cameras in china capturing these images of last night's solar eclipse. the shadow of the moon moving across the sun and making for a bizarre looking shot there. eventually the sun looks like a thin ring behind the moon. here in this country, the best view was out west. these pictures captured in san antonio. it is the first time a solar eclipse was visible in the u.s. in more than 15 years. >> they call it the ring of fire. >> without the right --

>> you need to poke a hole in card board to look at that. rare treat for folks on the west coast. they may not see this in 60, 70 years. maybe a once in a lifetime type thing. we didn't get to see it here. we are seeing cloudy skies here and light, pes ky rain coming through. we definitely can use all the rain we're going to get. here's a look at our michael and son weather camera. clouds are starting to break up a little bit here. 75 degrees. and the winds are coming in from the south at 9 miles per hour. and we're looking at scattered light rain right now and it's not widespread and very light. it's been that way for much of the day with the exception of this morning. we have on shore flow coming in from the coast. you can see the bulk of the moisture is out to the east. you can also see south western virginia, some thunderstorms popping up and also we're going see lightning coming through as well. so, there's also a slight

chance for storms in our area as well, but a very small chance, you can see again, some of the moisture is off to the north of the beltway and also out to the west along interstate 81. right now temperatures, 70s. # 0 in beltsville. it does feel humid out there once again. the muggies are back. unsettled and humid. showers and storms possible tonight. areas of fog for tuesday morning because of that on shore flow. more showers possible and widespread for tuesday afternoon. unsettled again for wednesday. the future cast shows us some scattered showers still possible for tonight. tomorrow morning, i don't think the commute will be all that bad with the exception of fog. in the afternoon, showers pick up again and become fairly widespread for tomorrow's evening commute. so, you definitely want to hold on to your umbrellas for tomorrow and the next couple of days. all right, here's a look at your forecast tonight. cloudy with scattered showers. some thunder possible. lows in the 60s. winds are east at 5 to 10 miles

per hour. 64 downtown and 62 in leesburg is your low. our seven-day outlook, up to 84 tomorrow. primarily afternoon showers and storms wednesday in the lower 80s. then thursday, friday, still unsettled, but warmer saturday and sunday into the upper 80s. look at saturday, close to 90 degrees. memorial day, not looking too bad. 84. not a complete washout, but maybe a chance for showers and storms. back to you. >> all right, thank you anny. the redskins veterans got their first up close look at the future of the franchise. >> rg3 dawned in the old burgundy and gold. >> kristen is live with all that happened today. kristen. expwhrr just so everybody is aware, ota stands for organized team activities. shake off the cobwebs a little bit and a chance to meet their new teammate. today for the first time, the
