with their officers, the individual was wearing a t- shirt that said, guns don't kill people, i do. >> when police executed a search warrant, at prescott's crofton apartment building at 3:20 this morning, they found an arsenal of 25 weapons, including semi-automatic rifles, semi-automatic pistols, and at least one shotgun. they also found thousands of rounds of ammunition. >> we can't measure what was prevented here, but what was going on over the last 36 hours was a significant incident. >> among the seized assault rifles was an ar15, the same weapon used by the alleged aurora killer. now sources have told us that prescott does have a maryland state police issued gun collector's license, which made him exempt from the law, limiting him to one handgun purchase a month. lesli. >> sounds like this is just the beginning, andrea, thank you. our team coverage continues

with surae chinn. she is near the office where neil prescott used to work. surae, what do you know? >> reporter: lesli, we could have been standing here in front of this building telling a very different story. authorities say we'll never know exactly what police prevented here, but something obviously very serious and sinister. we are here at the pitney bose location, where preston wanted to shoot the place up and kill people. this is the place where he worked for at least three years. according to the search warrant, prescott was in the process of being fired as a subcontractor at the software and mail room supply business, which could have been the root of what allegedly drove him to make those threats. he lives in an apartment. people there didn't really know him nor did they know the ammunition and weapons stored right next to them. but where he grew up in maryland, neighbors there say the family was nice and that their son was quiet and was

really into computers. >> he was very quiet, to himself. he stayed in his room. his parents wanted him to go to clubs, but he decided not to. he decided just to be a computer geek. >> it is shocking and scary. this is a wonderful community. everyone is very friendly and we all meet at the dog park or have barbecues. it's very scary. you never know who your neighbors are, apparently. >> now we also tried talking with the man prescott was on the phone with who made the threats on that phone call earlier this week. he declined to talk with us. we also know that prescott is in an anne arundel hospital undergoing treatment. he has not been charged yet. we can only imagine what could have been unleashed here at his former place of work. back to you. >> don't want to think about it, surae, thank you. >> the man accused in the colorado movie theater shooting rampage was being treated by a

university of colorado psychiatrist where he was a grad student. that information came out today from james holmes' defense attorneys. they filed a motion seeking who leaked information about a package that holmes sent to the psychiatrist. that package reportedly contained a notebook with descriptions of the attack. 12 people were killed in the massacre last friday during a showing of the new batman movie. >> well, severe storms once again, a possibility around here in our area tonight. meteorologist, anny hong in for topper. not quite a severe weather alert, at least not yet. >> not yet. those are the operative words for tonight. we are looking at the potential for big storms. this time south of town and we do have a severe thunderstorm watch in effect right now until 10:00 tonight. here's a look at it. that includes south of town, culpeper and fredericksburg, not the district. until 10:00 tonight. this is where we see severe thunderstorms. you can see where we have some storms right now out to the

west into new market, harrisonburg. this could be heading out due east and into parts of the culpeper and fredericksburg area. if you look at the radar, you can see a line of storms are coming through impacting parts of central virginia. for the next few hours, things could get tricky around fredericksburg and culpeper. we'll keep you posted and talk about the storm chances for tomorrow as well. derek, anita, back to you. >> the fallout continues tonight over those child sex abuse allegations against the d.c. area's top olympic swim coach. >> sources tell bruce leshan that montgomery county police opened an investigation into the charges against rick curl by a woman who abused her more than a quarter century ago when she was just 13. bruce joins us now with more. >> yeah, anita. rick curl still not talking, these allegations are shocking to a lot of people. police are paying attention, even though these charges are so old. still no answer at the door of

rick curl's $1.5 million home in vienna. it is clear someone is home. and it is unclear if curl has gone off to help coach at the olympics in london, despite the sex abuse allegations against him. kelly corn says the swim coach had sex with her for years, starting when she was about 13 and he was 33. >> the guy should be in jail and not center stage at the olympics. >> sources say police are following up on the allegations. the sex abuse allegedly started in an office at the pool on the bethesda campus of georgetown prep. curl's swim club was leasing time at the pool. montgomery county police are now very careful in describing what they are doing about her allegations. >> we followed up what we deem

historic cases in the past with successful results. >> curl paid her money more than a decade ago, after they drafted a civil complaint, alleging sexual abuse. kuren signed a confidentiality agreement, but when she saw curl coaching at the olympic trials, she could no longer remain silent out of fear that there might be other victims. >> i can only speak for myself and i pray that the answer to that is no. >> we have to give her credit. this is a woman who is very courageous. >> that was montgomery county defense attorney and former prosecutor who says curen could expose herself to a civil lawsuit, demanding that she repay that $150,000. but he says if curl goes after curen, that could expose him to more trouble. u.s.a. swimming, which runs the olympic swimming program launched an investigation of

curl, but we have yet to hear back from them today on how that investigation is going. now these allegations against rick curl rocked the whole washington area swim community. peggy fox and her kids are swimmers, too. my kids are swimming as well and parents are talking about this. >> everyone is talking about it. i was on the phone today and i was surprised to learn from coaches and elite swimmers who were around in this area in the 1980s. there were rumors about curl and his young star swimmer. but nothing concrete or firsthand that could be reported. i have been talking to other parents and coaches on how to prevent this from happening again. parents need to do their part as well. the alleged sexual abuse between the young elite swimmer and her 33-year-old coach, rick curl, back in the 1980s is being called by some in the swimming community, one of the worst kept secrets in washington. the idea that people may have known something was going on between the two and didn't try

to stop it is upsetting to many parents. >> that makes me very sad. >> a mom of three young swimmers and says she talked to them about what happened to curen and feels it's important to have discussions with them about being safe. >> they need to understand what is inappropriate, but we have to, as parents, do our job well and talk to them about coming forward, even if they feel threatened or scared. >> psychiatrist helped set up u.s.a. swimming new guidelines to protect swimmers after a scandal. here are some signs parents need to be aware of. >> isolation of an athlete or a change in their mood or trouble sleeping or changes in their appetite or training too hard or kind of becoming disenchanted with a sport. any kind of change in behavior. >> there are new policies in place, such as rules against allowing coaches to be alone with swimmers. >> i think that we are the safest sport out there. you know, we are the model for

many, many of the other national governing bodies. they are looking at what we do. they are looking at how we do. they are looking at our legislation. >> riley eaton is the chair of potomac valley swimming, which oversees carl burke. also, i spoke to parents whose kids swim for can you curl. they felt their children have been safe and they are sticking with it, anita. they feel like they are doing a great job. >> it's one of the most competitive did well known. back to you guys. we know the identity of a man arrested for a stabbing at a post office in montgomery county. 67-year-old ray alfred young is charged with attempted murder. young stabbed another person yesterday. he was reportedly upset about the victim being allowed back into line after stepping aside to complete some business.

that stabbing victim is expected to recover. >> it is day two of redskins training camp and we interrupt our nonstop coverage of rg3. whether he is sweating green or blue gatorade, to note there are other players out there this year, including the offensive line, the guys he really needs to have a good season. dave owens is out there at redskins park where practice is wrapping up. dave has that hat. i guess it's hot. >> hey derek, let me tell you. outside the shade had, it's 97 degrees. inside the shade hat, it's about 85. i think it's working, right? let's take this ridiculous hat off and get serious. let's talk about protecting rg3, the big offensive line. they gave up 41 sacks a year ago. that's not good. only ten teams in football were worse. you can't have a stud quarterback if he's on his butt. so that is what the redskins are trying to avoid. protecting rg3, certainly got a

little more difficult when yesterday we found out jamal brown will begin training camp on the physically unable to perform list, meaning he failed his physical. here's the deal, gang. he has a bad hip. the rest of the fellas have to rally together and protect the franchise. >> he is down about it, but you know, who knows what the future may hold. we all know how serious it is as of right now. so we have capable player that is capable of stepping in and playing at a high level. we aren't too worried. >> jamal is a great player. he's a leader on our team and our position group. so i don't know what's going on with them, but i hope he can get back on the field. >> all right guys, a lot more coming up. had a sit down conversation with chris cooley earlier. also fans, they are here in large numbers. back to you guys in the studio. >> i don't know, dave, i like the hat. i thought you looked good. thank you, sir. coming up on 9news, voters one step closer to deciding

yellow. this includes culpeper and fredericksburg. here's a look at the hd. you can see the showers and storms out to the west for new market, approaching warrenton. we have some in harrissonburg. most storms are heading east and so i think culpeper and fredericksburg, you should prepare for the showers and storms to arrive in the next couple of hours. they are not severe. not at least right now. here's a look at the other storms. a lot of it passing central virginia. quite a few lightning strikes, especially into charlottesville and approaching richmond. around here, we can see some of it starting to surface in culpeper, looking like you are getting light rain and some good rain fall south of culpeper. so, we are under a risk, a slight risk for a severe thunderstorm for today according to the storm prediction center. this includes the d.c. area, points south, and southeast. and the main threats from the storms we do see today will be damaging wind gusts.

here's a live look at your michael and son weather camera. temperatures in the lower 90s. we have partly to mostly cloudy conditions. dew points in the lower 60s. still sticky out there. right now, temperatures 91 in downtown. 88 in leesburg and gaithersburg. low 80s for winchester. culpeper 84. fredericksburg, you're still hot at 94 degrees. it feels like almost 100 in downtown. farther south, 104. around the beltway, temperatures feel like in the mid 90s. all right, so we are expecting the muggy conditions with more thunderstorms. storms are likely tonight. especially south of town. damaging wind gusts the main concern. maybe some large hail. saturday afternoon thunderstorms are possible. then on sunday, only a stray storm is possible. here's a look at your future cast. you can see tonight, most of the activity will be south and east of town. but again, those storms could produce some good wind gusts, maybe 50, 60 miles per hour. at 10:00, things are much

quieter. saturday afternoon and saturday evening, we also have a chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms. so for tonight, watch out for those storms. our next three days, our 9 weather alert code for tomorrow, yellow, because the chance for unsettled weather. high 93. i don't expect them to be severe. sunday low 90s. monday in the upper 80s and still a chance for some showers and storms. your next seven days, each day we have a chance for some showers and storms. temperature wise we'll be in the upper 80s by monday. tuesday 89 degrees and wednesday, thursday, into the low and mid 90s. so we haven't declared today a severe weather alert day yesterday. howard and i were talking about it. we think it's border line. we'll say big storms are possible. we'll let you know if we decide to upgrade that to a severe weather alert day. keep your eyes to the sky and keep safe. are they suffering enough? the question on the minds of many as the ncaa slam penn state with sanctions this week

in the aftermath of the jerry sandusky sex abuse scandal. the host of face the nation, bob shaefer, is with us. his guest will be rodney erickson. you asked about the lawsuits the university is about to face from the victims. here's is what he said. >> we hope to settle as many of these cases as quickly as possible. we don't want to, if at all possible, drag victims through another round of court cases and litigation. >> you get the sense he doesn't want to drag his university through more rounds of litigation. but where do you think penn state goes from here? >> well, they are really, dr. erickson is making a sincere effort to get this whole thing, get the ship up righted and get it sailing forward and to get this behind them.

but this is extremely complicated and i got to tell you, while a lot of people around the country say that this punishment, these sanctions were not strong enough. a lot of people advocated to stop playing football. some people at penn state, even on their board of trustees believe that the sanctions were too tough. so dr. erickson has, you know, he has his work cut out for him. this is going to require not just changes in how the football team acts and how they conduct their business, but kind of a change in culture here. this whole idea of joe paterno seen by so many as an icon. i mean, he was the brand. but was he really in charge? did he stay too long? these are the kinds of things that they are dealing with there and you know, dr.

erickson recognizes that the real responsibility of the university now is to deal with these victims. the people who were victims in these situations that were literally covered up by some of the top officials at the university. i don't envy him, the assignment and the job he's got, but he seems like a fellow who is going to do his best to get this thing going again. >> i guess that's all we can ask, bob shaefer, we'll look for your full interview on face the nation. >> thank you very much, derek. coming up next, finding a place to fly. model war plane enthusists call on area counties that clear them for takeoff. >> tieing up traffic on a busy highway. what a mess. ♪
