death penalty. survivors of the shooting came to court, but former congressman woman, gabby giffords, was not one of them. mark kelly said he and his wife are satisfied with the plea agreement and avoiding a trial would help them and the rest of the community continue to recover from the attack. karen brown, cbs news, tucson, arizona. >> and we should note that ever since last year, lautner has been kept in a psychiatric hospital in missouri. and there, doctors have been forcibly administering drugs trying to control his behavior. funeral services will be held this friday for all of the victims in the shooting in wisconsin. the southern poverty law center says the suspect, 40-year-old wade michael page was a member of white supremacyst groups and played with the skin head band known as definite hate. page's step mom says she hasn't seen him since 1999, but she

mechanicsville. so, that is the main threat, flash flooding. where are these going to go in the next hour? they don't go anywhere. they meyander. so, again, if you're under one of those storms, do not cross a flooded street or road. 85 right now. 83 at andrews. 88 in leesburg. we already have hit 90. we'll come back and see how many times we hit 90 since june 1. some heavy. low 68 to 74. we'll come back and we'll talk about ernesto. >> all right, topper. a long, sharp piece of sheet metal gashed metro riders this morning and reopening a simmering debate about whether the transit agency is doing enough to keep its many escalators safe. bruce leshan reports from

half dozen people. >> pile of bodies, a lot of screaming. >> metro's spending around $150,000 over the past years to repair escalators. metro's design left it dependent on its 588 moving stairs. it has more than any other system outside moscow. since 1985, the escalators claimed five lives. including three-year-old melissa gilbert in 1995, darryl jackson in 1997, and glenda weeks, a mother of three, on thanksgiving day in 1998. >> she was a loving person who would give you her all. >> that was bruce leshan reporting. sky 9 was out over i-66 just after a pedestrian was hit by a car this morning. this is right in the morning rush, just west of the fairfax

county parkware. the victim had to be flown to the hospital. the accident shut down all of eastbound 66. you can imagine what a mess that was. traffic had to be detoured and investigators are trying to figure out what happened and why was that person walking on the highway? >> and some startling new figures out today. the national highway traffic safety administration says more than half of the people killed on d.c. roads in 2010 were pedestrians. in d.c., 13 of the 24 traffic fatalities in that year involve pedestrians. that's a rate of 54%. in maryland, more than 20% of traffic deaths were people out walking and in virginia, it was just under 10%. look at this. nationally, 4,000 pedestrians died in traffic accidents in 2010, which is 13%. >> a washington landmark is expected to reopen later this month after getting a facelift. the reflecting pool on the national mall has been closed

to have to get off north of the beltway because arlington county didn't want to be part of it and sued the state over it. >> they created their own stew pot and unfortunately, hundreds and thousands of motorists will have to be part of it. >> project managers say continuing the lanes into arlington county is a future goal. in dale city, peggy fox, 9news now. after about 100 acres of trees and brush are removed, construction will begin around the clock and over the next two years, you'll have to expect many lane closures and delays, but not during rush hour, thank goodness. >> thank goodness. nasa engineers are getting a glimpse of the first color photos from that curiosity rover that landed on mars. take a look at this ancient crater, there's some dramatic video of the last of that 2 1/2 minute decent through the martian atmosphere. a little cloudy. the nuclear power curiosity will look for life on the red planet, but won't start moving

others making more than the vice president and chief justice? our investigation exposing the top ten lists at gsa won't have anybody laughing.

in tonight, 9 wants to know report, a top ten list that has no one laughing. it's a first of its kind in our investigation into the u.s. general service administration. showing some paychecks that are higher than the vice president's and the chief justice of the supreme court.

>> investigative reporter exposes new revelations about the agency responsible for government real estate and supposedly for minimizing costs. >> beside me, you're seeing the 13,000 gsa payroll records we obtained with the freedom of information act. the gsa top ten shows everyone making more than $200,000 a year. heavily weighed by bonuses and unused leave pay, or like this electrician supervisor at number seven, earning over $200,000, most of it from overtime. >> the president of the united states makes $400,000 a year, and that's one of few government paychecks higher than what our analysis found at gsa. gh they absolutely should be explaning. >> chair of the gsa oversight

subcommittee wants explanations. identified by our investigation, all making more than denim. although the president did earn more. bigger than the president. even more than the chief justice of the supreme court, sharing in the millions in gsa bonuses, and overtime exposed by a 9 wants to know information request. >> i got the payroll records, here's an electrician supervisor. >> more than half of his $214,929 paycheck coming from overtime alone. more than $8 million in overtime. we have to put a stop to it. >> what are all the different categories and bonuses, how important is what we exposed? >> it's extremely important. we had community members. >> we identified worked in

taking home checks bigger than some of the highest ranking officials in america. >> gsa has not responded to our repeated interview requests, but the agency said that woman who earned that $80,000 plus in leave pay, gayle lovelay, was a federal employee for 40 years and paid for her unused leave time. saying gsa pays overtime leave and locality pay. in accordance to laws, the majority of employees did not work overtime. and finally, that acting administrator cut bonuses for senior executives and instituted a hiring freeze while the agency is evaluating current structure in the overall compensation process. tonight, still no answer to our original question as to why so many of these bonuses and the overtime was not reported until we filed that freedom of information act request. >> you're not done with all this. you are putting all of this

online and everybody can look into this. >> we are coming back tonight. it's called crowd sourcing. the same data base that we used is going to be online. the information that we used in this data base will be posted on our online data base and you can and you can search for yourself. we put handed out to a top official, it is all online and will show you how to use it. it's not that difficult. we'll be reporting back what our viewers find right here, it may be the next chapter. >> looking forward to. thanks, appreciate it. lesli. >> okay, gentleman, it is spoiler alert time and if you don't want to know the results from a very busy day, now is the time to turn down the tv and step away for a bit. it's been a big day for american women in london. gymnasts, ali, is taking home another two medals. she won gold in the floor exercise and bronze in the

>> those chinese are pulling away a little bit. we have a grim and bizarre discovery. this was a partly decomposed human head found behind a shopping center in pasadena. now police say a man spotted the skull in a wooded area behind jumper's hole road. a search team later recovered the bodies. remains were taken to the chief medical examiner's office in baltimore and we await more on that. >> this is candid camera with a criminal twist. police say they arrested two suspects in western pennsylvania, who told their victims they were taping a show called, you just got robbed. the victims, pizza shop employees were approached in indiana, pennsylvania. >> the guys put us in head locks and he said we are going to be on a reality tv show. another guy started filming it on his cell phone. >> one man put us both in a head lock and said you're going to be on a reality tv show called, you just got robbed.

at wusa9.com. stay with us, we'll be right back.

caught on tape, a woman suspect odd f ed of trying to take a newborn baby. this woman wore hospital scrubs, walked into a new mom's room, pretended to be a nurse and suggested the mother take a shower before the doctor arrived. >> mother turns her back, she puts the baby and tries to leave the room. when the suspect tried to leave the hospital, it sound an alarm and automatically locks the doors and prevents her from leaving. she's trying to open the door and she was confronted by staff. >> wow. the baby wasn't hurt and was quickly reunited.

after 115 years. >> up next, remembering this man and his music. a look back at the life of marvin. over the next four months, you have a choice to make. not just between two political parties, or even two people. it's a choice between two very different plans for our country. governor romney's plan would cut taxes for the folks at the very top. roll back regulations on big banks. and he says that if we do, our economy will grow and everyone will benefit. but you know what? we tried that top down approach. it's what caused the mess in the first place. i believe the only way to create an economy built to last is to strengthen the middle class. asking the wealthy to pay a little more so we can pay down our debt in a balanced way.

so that we can afford to invest in education, manufacturing, and home-grown american energy for good middle class jobs. sometimes politics can seem very small. but the choice you face, it couldn't be bigger. ♪ i'm barack obama and i approve this message.
