being shot is rare even for these parts. >> we need to come together as a community, set up some community watch groups in order to keep things safe for our kids. >> reporter: the adult shot has been identified as one vance page. he's a minister and they say he's been involved in community activities for many years. he found a lot of jobs for the unemployed here and has worked at the center quite a few years. they say when the shooting broke out today, he tried to shield some of the kids from the bullets. the three victims were part of a group of 30 on the sidewalk only because their meals had been late. they were moving from one feeding station to another. >> in the meanwhile them walking up there from this center to the other center is when the incident happened. >> reporter: the staff at the original feeding station told me today it's their job not only to feed the children but to try and protect them. >> this is what's going on right now. it wasn't that way.

innocent people get shot like babies. they get shot, too. >> reporter: now all three wounded people are expected to eventually be okay. their wounds are not life threatening according to police. we should also point out whoever was doing the shooting and the person who was the intended target are both at large. police don't know where they are. they'd like to talk to that person who at least was the intended victim. i should also point out today was the very first day of camp for the children to show up for those free meals and out at this apartment complex about 100 kids were in attendance. back to you guys. >> not the way to start that first day of camp. we hope they all recover very soon. an arrest has been made in the case of a serial animal slasher in fairfax county. a teenager has been charged with four felony counts of maiming animals after two attacks at the frying pan farm park in herndon. that's where kristin fisher has more on the tip that led to this arrest. >> reporter: the first attack came two months ago. three therapy horses were stabbed overnight.

difficult for the frying pan farm park staff. >> relief and sadness. >> reporter: the manager says she's just grateful to the community, grateful to the police for giving her animals the justice they deserve. >> healed up real nicely, had staples and stitches and as his wounds have healed well and he's back doing outreach and birthday parties. henry, smile. >> reporter: in fairfax county kristin fisher, 9 news now. >> in fact, all the animals are expected to make a full recovery. that teen-age suspect is being held in custody at the fairfax county juvenile detention center. we learned today the supreme court will issue its much anticipated ruling on the obama administration's controversial healthcare law thursday. however, today the high court made a ruling on arizona's immigration law and it is getting mixed reaction across the country. as danielle nottingham reports, this is one of those deals where both sides are claiming victory. >> reporter: the supreme court has rejected key parts of arizona's crackdown on illegal

immigration. in reading the 5-3 majority opinion justice anthony kennedy said the court agreed with the obama administration. immigration falls under federal, not state jurisdiction. the decision struck down a requirement that all immigrants carry registration papers and a provision that made it a state crime for them to seek work. the high court did unanimously save the most controversial part of the 2010 law requiring police check the immigration status of those they stop could go forward prompting arizona's republican governor to declare victory. >> the heart of senate bill 1070 has been proven to be constitutional. >> reporter: the majority of justices also ruled that police cannot arrest people on minor immigration charges and they left the door open to other legal challenges to the law. >> it has essentially opened the floodgate, opened the floodgate to racial profiling. >> reporter: in a statement

president obama said he was pleased the court struck down most of arizona's law and once again called on congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform. mitt romney's campaign released a statement saying the ruling proves a need for stronger leadership in the oval office. danielle nottingham, cbs news, the supreme court. >> now five other states including virginia have adopted versions of the arizona law and they were all on hold until the court ruled on this one. the university of virginia school board plans a crucial meeting tomorrow about the ouster of president teresa sullivan. about 1,500 people gathered for what was billed as a rally for honor on campus yesterday. students and faculty demonstrated in support of sullivan. they are furious about what they call the board's lack of transparency in reaching the decision. governor bob mcdonnell threatened to replace the entire board if it takes to resolve the crisis. some families in prince george's county are still

what's 20 paces wide mean for a below average golfer like me? >> if you hit it in the rough, you've got absolutely zero chance. >> and we're in the woods. >> reporter: golf course superintendent mike jeffries a has been growing that rough stuff more than a month. he's got it up to 4 inches. how rough is the rough? watch this. >> oh. you could lose a small child in there. >> reporter: when you do get it on the green, congressional has been prepping the putting surface for the pros, not the joes. >> this is called a stem meter. >> reporter: which measures green speed. >> they're quicker, firmer for events like this. >> reporter: firmer equals faster. novices like me have at it, but be warned shots like this on the blue course, few and far between. yeah, few and far between. got to thank the guys who took me on a tour around the course in the last couple days.

reveal all this information today. on friday doggra and a representative who was supposed to be doggra met hurd in waco, texas. little did they know there was an fbi agent with them and they had -- he was arrested and sent to jail, released monday at noon. >> so he gets released at noon. do we have any idea what this information was supposedly this fellow said was so derogatory he thought rg3 would pay him rather than let it out? >> we don't want to speculate. this is early in this case. we do know rg3's name wasn't even on the court document, but assumptions are that it is him. you just don't want to throw anything out there yet. >> it's a lot of crazy stuff. how up money was he asking for? is that out there at all? >> a substantial amount and we know rg3 is set to make about 25 million soon. he's got a bunch of endorsements. we don't have the amount, but we know it's a lot. >> but we do know somebody

the season. >> we'll be talking about debby for a while. she's not going very far very fast and may actually impact our weather just in time for july 4th, but want to show you a waterspout that actually debby produced in florida around juno beach. again a waterspout is a tornado overwater, the same kind of deal, a violently rotating column of air. it's nice to see it out to sea and not overland, but that's what the remnants of tropical storms and hurricanes can do. that's oftentimes more damage than the winds. let's talk about debby because you want some meteorological humor? a lot of people say meterologists don't have any humor. i think this is hysterical. the intern and i have been laughing all day about this. these are model forecasts and each line represents a future

forecasted track of debby. we couldn't be any further of confluence with these lines. we've got two models taking west, several doing east, a quomodoses doing a loop de -- couple models doing a loop de loop, so it's not going anywhere fast and it will probably cross over florida into the atlantic ocean off the southeast coast. that's when we have to watch it going through next week, but in the meantime poor folks in florida will get hammered with another 5 to 10 inches of rain. you can see the band of showers and thunderstorms moving across florida and not much change the next 24 to 48 hours as she kind of sits and spins. we had big thunderstorms earlier. we had a thunderstorm watch. it's south of town down towards st. mary's, all those showers and thunderstorms gone. the cold front moved through and it's really kind of refreshing right now i think, 87. look at the dew point, 47. you kidding me?
