look at the judge while he was read his rights. several times it looked like 24- year-old was nodding off. >> you're currently being held on a no bond hold. >> reporter: prosecutors said they did not know whether holmes was on medication. they were given until next monday to file formal charges. >> there's no such thing as a slam dunk case. it is a case where we will -- we're still looking at the enormous amount of evidence. >> reporter: the district attorney said her office will consider pursuing the death penalty and consult with the families of the victims before making that decision. family members of several victims were in court during the hearing. some said they just wanted to see the suspect face to face. david sanchez's pregnant daughter escaped the massacre without injury. she is due to give birth today, but her husband is in critical condition after being shot in the head. >> everybody needs to pray for them. >> reporter: the aurora police department released holmes' booking photo this afternoon

and a lawyer representing the suspect's parents told reporters their heart goes out to the victims and their families. >> the family has elected not to discuss james or their relationship with james at this time. >> reporter: security was tight when the suspect faced the judge today. police stationed snipers on the courthouse roof. homes is being kept in solitary confinement. holmes is being kept in solitary confinement there. could be hundreds of charges in addition to first degree murder, also possibly domestic tear rich charges. holmes has his next court appearance a week from today when he'll be formally charged. >> thank you. the colorado shooting has ignited calls for stronger gun laws. police say james holmes purchased his high powered weaponry and ammunition over the internet and our peggy fox has been looking into whether there ought to be limits on purchases like that. >> he purchased more than 6,000 rounds of ammunition over the internet. i just got back from a shooting range in lorton, virginia,

where i met several former law enforcement officials and they told me 6,000 rounds of ammunition is really not a lot. they don't believe there should be limits on guns or ammunition, but i spoke to some people today who think there should be. virginia is a state with few gun laws. owners do not need to register them and can have as many as they want. ar15 -- [ audio difficulty ]

>> i met several permit holders today at that shooting range and they -- there is a difference of opinion. some people think if anybody had a gun in the audience that it may not have made a difference, but there were a couple of permit holders told me had they been there perhaps because they might have been able to take down the shooter, who knows? i think this debate will continue. >> the gun in the wrong hands never has a good ending. thank you. it's cloudy outside and very humid as well. you know what that might mean, storms on the way. meteorologist anny hong is in for topper and has the latest on yet another yellow alert day. >> any storms we do see come through the area tonight could end up being strong or severe, but right now in the immediate d.c. metro area we're just looking at cloudy conditions. right now temperatures are in the 80s and it is humid out there. we are looking at some showers

and storms right now out to the west of town, mostly in the mountains and if you look at live doppler 9000, you can see in the immediate d.c. metro area we're not looking at any showers. most of the showers and storms are northeast of baltimore, also some showers crossing winchester, front royal and interstate 81. here's a look at the doppler radar with some lightning. you can see a lot of lightning. it's way out to the west and southwest of us into charlottesville and also crossing over the mountains, but right now we're looking at some scattered showers and storms that come through -- that could come through in our area. so the entire dmv is under a slight risk for severe weather tonight. the a man threat is damaging wind gust -- the main threat is damage wind gusts and heavy downpours. i don't think everybody will see these storms surface. we could see some big storms come through. temperatures are in the 80s. we'll talk more about the heat coming this way and also some relief. back to you.

penn state now about to pay a really heavy price for that sex abuse scandal that has already rocked the university. today the ncaa handed down unprecedented sanctions against the school's legendary football program and they come just one day after the school took down the statue of the former head coach joe paterno that used to hang out in front of the university's football stadium but no more. dave owens is here with the details. these sanctions come with some controversy as well. >> when the ncaa gets involved, often there is controversy and certainly that is the case today. the history of the ncaa and its willingness to sanction or not sanction and the inconsistency with which they've handed down punishment in the past sort of figured today's ruling would come with said controversy. it did. shortly after 9:00 this morning ncaa president mark emmert handed down a punishment on the school based upon the freeh report which said the most powerful men at the school covered up criminal activity by jerry sandusky. in the past the ncaa has taken years to determine punishment,

innocent this case. they were swift in their actions. here the penalties, a $60 million fine which reef reflects the annual revenues of the football team. 112 wins have been vacated between 1998 and 2011 no, bowl games for years, athletic department on probation for five years. students can transfer effective immediately. strong words were used by the collegiate governing body. take a listen. >> in the penn state case the results were perverse and unconscionable. no price the ncaa can levy will repair the grievous damage inflicted by jerry sandusky. >> every major college and university needs to do a gut check and ask where are we on the appropriate balance between the culture and athletics and the broader culture of the university? >> some perspective here. it's a five year probation. here are some of the other lengthy bans on football

programs since 1960. indiana, four years, houston, michigan state and oklahoma state all three years. more present day ohio state, the tattoo scandal three years, usc reggie bush scandal, they got four years. coming up at 5:15 local sports journalists going to weigh in whether the penalties were tough enough. you'll hear strong words by some of my colleagues coming up. meantime up in state of college the announcement of those penalties yet another moment for outpourings of emotion and serious self- reflection as well. scott broom is at penn state with the reactions. >> reporter: here outside beaver stadium where the statue of joe paterno was removed over the weekend the ncaa penalties sting to the point of tears. >> it hurts because it felt like one of my family members was being slandered and disgraced. >> was she crying because the statue was taken down or

because little kids were getting raped. >> clearly there was rampant things going on. >> i think everybody is feeling bad about it because there's so many people involved in this university who bought into it, kind of his virtues. >> this whole town is going to paint. >> reporter: on main street where some stores still have joe paterno memorabilia the prospect for diminished football weekends may mean economic pain. >> this town that treated joe paterno like a god, the whole kind of apparatus around him was not to be questioned. i think that all of this just goes to show that you shouldn't worship a human being. >> reporter: the surprise of the day here was the ncaa's erasure of penn state's 109 wins back to 1998, the first year paterno failed to act on allegations about jerry sandusky. >> it makes it really personal because i was there for some of those wins. >> reporter: no, it was not

the so-called death penalty, but no one here expects the effects of this are going to be limited to the four year window of the ncaa penalties. as one commentator put it, it feels like life without parole. >> keep in mind the erasure of the record back to 1998 still lands paterno in the top 15 winningest coaches of all time. for the first time in 22 yearsed world's largest aids conference is back here in the united states. tens of thousands have gathered in washington to discuss living with hiv aids and at some point stopping it's spread. >> anita brikman is live at the washington convention center with more on today's star studded kickoff. it's been a long time coming. >> reporter: it has been a long time coming, derek, and the mood is electric, even festive. there's a live performance going on behind me, lots of people gathered to watch. this wouldn't have happened if president barack obama had not

lifted the travel ban on people with hiv coming into the united states. that is why the global conference has been held overseas the last 20 years, but in 2009 the ban was lifted and now the conference is back near d.c. we're talking 195 countries represented, more than 20,000 delegates and among them are activists, scientists and patients. they are gathered here to focus on treatment and prevention and now here on the cusp of the time when there may be no new hiv infections around the world it's possible. danielle nottingham has more. >> reporter: chris bland is one of more than 20,000 people in washington d.c. for this year's international aids conference. the 48-year-old has been battling hiv for 28 years. >> i was 21 years old, in graduate school and didn't think i would live to be 25. >> reporter: bland is optimistic the world maybe turning the corner when it comes to hiv and aids. >> people now have different

options in terms of ways that we can end the epidemic. >> reporter: world leaders are excited about new research showing people who received drug treatment for hiv are not passing the virus to others. >> the united states is committed and will remain committed to achieving an aids free generation. >> reporter: the international aids conference hasn't been held in this country in more than 20 years, but the u.s. has still shown a commitment to fighting the worldwide epidemic. in 2002 the u.s. pledged more than $15 billion for prevention and treatment of hiv aids and nearly a billion dollars more from private organizations like the bill and melinda gates foundation. bill gates says there is still a long way to go. >> only by having a number of these new fools and eventually a vaccine can we -- tools and eventually a vaccine can we seriously talk about moving

toward the end. >> reporter: until that day comes bland plans to be a counselor and advocate for others like him living with liv. >> it is estimated about 34 million people around the world are infected are hiv. coming up i'll take a closer look on what's happening in the district, maryland and virginia. if you've been successful, you didn't get there on your own.

if you've got a business, you didn't build that. somebody else made that happen. my father's hands didn't build this company. my hands didn't build this company. through hard work and a little bit of luck, we built this business. why are you demonizing us for it? it's time we had somebody who believes in us. someone who believes that achievement should be rewarded not punished. we need somebody who believes in america.

welcome back to the international aids conference. i'm here in the global village. there's a performance going on. there's all kinds of sessions, scientific, advocacy. it was also chosen, the district, that is, because of the problem we have within the district of columbia with aids. it's no secret that we face an epidemic, but how does it compare to other cities and what's being done? i sat down with the d.c. department of health's top staff on hiv aids to find out. >> in d.c. we have two or three people infect every day. so it's a very serious epidemic. >> reporter: the senior deputy director says 3% of the district's population is infected with the virus that causes aids. dr. poppis says half of all people in the united states who are hiv positive live in 12

major cities. so d.c.'s woes are not unique. our numbers aren't the worst of the 12 but they aren't the best either. >> urban america has a serious epidemic. black america has a serious epidemic. so d.c. has a complex epidemic very frequently where we're compared to africa. actually we're very different. >> reporter: the doctor says the district's needle exchange program for id drug users has helped slow down infection rate and get some addicts into treatment, but the best weapons are widespread free testing and getting more people who are hiv positive on medication that keeps the virus suppressed. >> the whole purpose of this medication, it kind of locks the virus in the cell, keeps it from spreading. so if it's not spreading in your body, it's less likely to spread in the community. so treatment has become prevention. >> from a scientific standpoint with the medications we have now how has life with aids changed? >> it's changed tremendously.

we're dealing with chronic disease if you take your medication and death rates have touched. >> reporter: good news, but the idea that aids has lost some of its lethal grip can also make people complaint about safe sex, something dr. poppis says simply can't happen if we ever hope to wipe out new hiv infections for good. >> we can't let our guard down on condoms just because we've got medication. >> reporter: back live you heard the doctor say the district numbers are not the worst, but they aren't the best either. here's a breakdown on the aids cases reported from the cdc from our area from the beginning of the epidemic through december, 2008. maryland reported 35,725 aid cases cumulatively. maryland ranked ninth highest among the 50 states. virginia reported 19,029 cases to the cdc ranking the commonwealth 14th highest among

the 50 states in reported aids cases and the district reported 19,864 aids cases to the cdc. the cdc did not make this comparison to the 50 takes. with most of the international conference coming -- states. with most of the international conference coming here mayor gray authorized 35 employees to take free time off to get testing if needed. >> we've got a forecast to talk about, which has been a little less oppressive today. >> if you like the less oppressive humidity, you'll like the seven-day forecast. we have some storms to deal with tonight, also make tomorrow and some of the storms we do see could end up being strong to severe, but not everybody will see storms tonight or even tomorrow. let's go to our live doppler 9000 hd, hey, it's pretty quiet, cloudy conditions, some showers and storms out to the west and mountains are on 81 earlier today, but right now a

the hiv aids conference. >> mr. mayor, will you acknowledge right now that there are over 1,000 people on the waiting list for housing in the district and will you acknowledge that there are further needs? >> reporter: the group is demanding the city do more for people with aids in subsidized housing. >> do you have plans to fix our waiting list? >> reporter: but the district's leading authority on aids programs had his own gripes with the activists. >> what i say to these people, if you're concerned about people who are hiv positived in housing, then go to the shelter and make sure they're taking medication and they're not doing. that. >> reporter: those protesters are just part of the 25,000 people from all over the world in washington this week for the international aids conference. >> not only in washington d.c., but around the globe. >> reporter: eventually mayor

gray did make his opening address, but as he tried to make a quick exit, there was another question about his 2010 campaign. the washington post reports somebody got their hands and alerted the 6,000 public housing residents who had been targeted by the gray get out the vote effort. >> i know nothing about it. i did not abuse it if i had a list. >> reporter: the washington post says if true the campaign may have violated a law by using that list. bruce johnson, 9 news now. >> reporter: this evening the d.c. housing department is looking into whether someone leaked the list of housing residents to the gray campaign. now regarding aids citizens, the district health records say 14,000 people are currently being treated for aids and 1,000 people with aids are on the list for housing. now let's go back 30 years when hiv and aids first spread among the u.s. population. it was mysterious and frightening and only a small

number of gay activists were trying to draw the public health authorities' attention to what would become an epidemic. here gives an inside perspective of the early days of the epidemic that would go on to become a global killer. the fear and uncertainty surrounding this mysterious disease led to community activism and the start of a movement. the normal heart is an arena stage production that brings a real life saga to the waterfront theater. >> it's a chronicle through this small subset of guys that tried to live in new york city at the time how difficult it was to try to get the epidemic visible and to get someone to actually care about it. >> reporter: he plays a gay activist that works for the new york city health department where the play is set. he helps spark a social revolution about the mysterious killer that was becoming a growing plague in the gay community but that many in government wanted to ignore.

how often should women go to the doctor? there's been some confusion since cervical cancer screenings are no longer recommended every year for healthy women. the latest opinion from the american college of obstetricians and gynecologists is that all women should go to the doctor of year for what's known as a well visit. >> the annual examination and visit to their ob/gyn is really crucial and can help them stay healthy for a very long time. >> reporter: what happens in that exam depends on the patient's age and risk factors, but typically a pap test everyone to three years. at age 30 those pap smears should be accompanied by an hpv

test, clinical breast exams everyone to three years and at age 40 those exams should be done of year along with a mammogram. annual checkups are a good time for women to raise any issues they have with their doctor. joining us to talk about this local effort to reduce hiv aids is beth ross, executive director of the international aids society. these festivities going through and talk to me about what we've done to stop mother to child transmissions. >> we've done a lot.

fredericksburg and annapolis is at 87 degrees. so temperaturewise not too bad. we are looking at the potential for some strong storms tonight, again damaging wind gusts could be the main threat, hot for your tuesday with also more showers and storms possible. again tomorrow storms also have the potential to become strong or severe. wednesday is looking to be less humid. it's going to be a really nice day wednesday. then we're hot again for thursday. here's how your futurecast breaks down. so tonight scattered showers and storms are possible. keep that in mind as you're driving home and you'll be going out if you're on that walk later tonight. by 10:00 most of the storms should be out of here and overnight things look pretty good and tomorrow morning, plenty of sunshine to start the day. afternoon see increasing clouds and also showers and storms once again possible as a cold front comes through tomorrow. so again watch for some big storms tomorrow as well. here's a look at your next three days. the high for tuesday 94, showers and storms for the afternoon, also evening

this is the ncaa which handed down unprecedented sanctions against penn state and the school's legendary football program. >> dave owens is here with more. dave? >> i'm joined by frank hanrahan, 60 million in fines, loss of scholarships, four year bowl ban. give me your reaction? >> i initially thought it was a slap on the wrist to be honest because my initial interpretation of what went down last year when this came out, i thought they should have stopped immediately and forfeited their games and i thought joe paterno still head coach in his time was doing everything in his power to let penn state do one more game and the fact that they're playing football to me says this is not the appropriate penalty. i thought they should have been out of football for at least one year. >> do you agree with the fact

the ncaa did not go as far as putting the blocks on the gates at beaver stadium? >> it should have been a year ban at least. again, i go back to it just seemed like penn state just wanted to play football and ignore what else was going on. we had a child sex abuse scandal for years covered up so they could play football. guess what they're doing this fall? they're back at it again. >> they can still make money. they'll still be on tv. beaver stadium, 95, 100,000 people. they'll still fill that stadium even if they're 0-11 playing minnesota and fans are that serious. >> people say if they shut down football, they shut down small businesses in the area. then i say that's where the school has to step up and divy out support to those local businesses, but the fact that they're playing football annoys me. >> we're about the same age. you remember joe paterno. can i think of him now in my mind's eye 1979 sugar bowl against alabama running out with those high water pants and that stuff, but what is his

legacy now because he wases that iconic figure? that's when his -- he was always that iconic figure? >> they had an assistant coach who was running their team last year as offensive coordinator who knew all about it, the president and head coach knew about it. so that's the legacy in my mind. >> it certainly seemed like the ncaa were trying to put a knock on hero worship and used those words today talking to the media. you cover sports a lot. how big of a problem is this where coaches are almost beyond reproach? >> yeah. unless they're bobby petrino and get on a motorcycle with a girl on the back, but beside that it's this godlike status that's got to stop. we've seen a lot of big programs where these guys are untouchable and unfortunately with penn state continuing to

play football to me makes joe paterno untouchable even though he is no longer with us. >> appreciate you coming in and spending time with me today. back to you guys. the debate over what happened at penn state goes on, more at 7:00 on that as well. now will the third time be the charm? >> we can hope. >> heats check in with our colleague anita brikman to see how things are going with the aids conference and it appears it is working. hey there. >> reporter: oh, it's so good to hear that from you guys that we're not jinxed because this is an exciting time in the global fight against aids. joining me now is the executive director of the international aids society. we were talking about the fact that hiv positive moms do not have to give the disease to their kids. >> yes, exactly. we have the means to prevent that with just a few dollars really and it's less than 1% to get the baby treated. >> we need to give more of this

medications to moms. how? >> it's really a matter of money. we have the means on the ground, the human means, the rural clinics in africa that can give treatment. it's really a matter of having the right doctors and also having the right mean to do it. if you look at what harry kingston said this morning and what was said a few months ago about the next generation, that's their commitment and that's a commitment many deserve around the world. it's really a bipartisan issue both in the u.s. and globally and that's 0 we need. we need political -- what we need. we need political leaders to commit a few million dollars. that's not a lot and we can have an aids free generation in a few years' time. >> it is a dream that can be achieved and we should note in the district of columbia a child hiv positive has not been born since 2009. let's go back to you. >> we'll take a quick break.
