charlottesville, richmond. had a couple of sprinkles near us this morning. most of that is on the eastern shore. this is probably the last time we'll look at doppler radar this morning. temps warm and muggy. 72347 annapolis. martinsburg is 66 with 70 in winchester and 73 la plata. we're going into the low 90s in most spots this afternoon. tomorrow's highs about the same. >> a couple of water main breaks and slow traffic forming in the 6:00 hour. good morning, everybody. first of all if you're planning to head inbound i-66 through arlington you'll be fine but there is a water main break on south courthouse roadblocked between columbia pike and 6th street. you'll have to work your way around that for quite some time with the road buckled as well. if you're planning to head over here, no problems to report as you travel inbound right now on kenilworth avenue and eastern avenue. this is going to be in the northeast corridor.

described to them i come to them not so much as president as i do as a father and as a husband. and i think the reason stories like this have such an impact on us is because we can all understand what it would be to have somebody that we love taken from us in this fashion. >> colorado governor john higgen looper drew a -- hickenlooper grew a big round of suspect when he refused to mention the suspect by name. the suspected killer is due in court later this morning and we are learning more about him. >> it's given some of us the creeps actually. zeal deal joins us with -- delia goncalves joins us with that part of the story. >> reporter: we're hearing from family members and old friends of james holmes. he was a gifted kid, a student at the university of colorado, a phz. contradict that with this story that we have for you, it was

the mere sound of his voice that led a gun club owner that we just spoke to to warn his employees about this 24-year- old. back on june 25, james holmes e- mailed an online application to a private gun club outside of denver in which he said he's not a drug user or a convicted felon. the owner called holmes three times to discuss his application. holmes never called back. our andean mccarren is in colorado. the message was very disturbing describing the voice as low, guttural, freakish even. he immediately told his staffers to not let holmes in to a july 1 orientation. >> one of my staff members called and said hey, what was the name of that person that you flagged for us? once that james holmes? i said yes. they said well, that's the name of the shooter. my main reaction was thank you, lord, for not giving him to us so we didn't have to have that

problem. >> we also learned holmes purchased $300 worth of tactical equipment prior to the shooting. we contacted that company and a spokesperson said they're shocked and appalled their equipment was used in the massacre. it touches so many folks. >> not to mention what he spent on guns and ammunition. >> and trapping his amount. a very sophisticated attack. >> very well thought out. out of respect to the victims of the shooting, the movie industry delayed its announcement of box office results till today. but "the new york times" reports the "the dark knight rises" made about $162 million over the weekend. that's a bit short of estimates. movie studios will not speculate publicly if the shooting had anything to do with that. stay with us for continuing coverage of the shootings in colorado. coming up at 7:00, cbs this morning will take a look at how the aurora community is trying to move on. and the politics of gun control are coming into play.

through the stadium. the statue now being stored in a security location became a source of division and an obstacle to healing. some fans mourn the loss. >> this isn't fixing the problem. this is pretty much just drawing attention away from people who should be taken maybe more responsibility and blame. >> reporter: one fan brought his own fill-in. >> the only thing i knew i could do was in protest bring my cardboard joe up here and give people a chance to still see joe. >> reporter: the paterno family issued a statement saying, quote, tearing down the statue of joe paterno does not serve the victims of jerry sandusky's horrible crimes or help heal the penn state community. we believe the only way to help the victims is to uncover the full truth. i'm andrew spencer for 9news now. >> our scott broom is heading to state college, pennsylvania today to get reaction about the penalty being handed down by the ncaa and we will have coverage tonight right here on 9news now. make sure also you can get
