today this house has become the target of a very serious fbi investigation. neighbors who say they know the corkins family say this woman is the suspect's mother. she didn't say anything and refused to answer any questions as she was escorted to her car by an fbi agent. >> reporter: any message you would like to get out about your family, ma'am? investigators spent hours inside the house hoping to get more information on floyd corkins, the man suspected of the shooting. from what we've been able to dig up corkins doesn't seem to have much of a criminal past. we know he volunteered at the d.c. center for lgbt community, a gay rights advocacy group. >> i never had a problem with him. i don't know him personally. i've spoken to her husband or son, whoever came out of that house, and he was just as nice. >> reporter: the family is described as being low key, and many of these folks don't seem to know much about the suspected gunman.

raised in. this is my country. and i'm facing no future. >> reporter: these young people here in los angeles are turning in their paperwork saying they've met all the requirements. illegal immigrants can apply if they are younger than age 31, came to the u.s. before they turned 16, are in school, graduated, or served in the military, and have no criminal record. president obama announced the program in june, prompting critics to call at political play for the hispanic vote. dan stein is with the immigration reform group "fair.

balance loint november. prince george's county voters have to specifically sign off on a casino in their county before that can actually happen. >> the opportunity to have 40 to $60 million additional revenue come in to prince george's county and spur economic development, i think they will look at that, then they will make a decision to go forward with this. >> the gambling bill signed today will also allow pull tab machines in veterans halls statewide and it will prohibit people from using welfare cards in casinos. coming up tonight on 9news, why this outback steakhouse in oxon hill was turned upside down by demonstrators. plus, a high-tech scam targets cell phone users. after the break we'll explain what it is and why you may need to

>> the attackers think, hey, people don't have filters on their phones so maybe we could send out these and people receive them and we'll get larger numbers of people dropping their account information. >> reporter: fortunately most people know how to respond. >> i usually ignore them. sometimes they say text to stop but i don't know if that's even more of a scam. >> i delete it as soon as i see it. if it's too good to be true it's probably too good to be true. >> reporter: still, scammers continue to try to find users. >> users should send offending messages to spa. >> your provider will be alerted and mark it. >> reporter: cnn.com for cbs news. >> republicans are trying their level best to make political hey out of vice president joe biden's latest verbal misstep. he told a mostly black audience

that mitt romney's policies would put you all back in chains. aren't you mad about that? derek says the answer is not really. >> yeah, anita. joe biden is ungaffable. that's what i call politicians who have committed so many behalfable misqueues they can no longer get in trouble for staples that would be considered embarrassing for anybody else. for example, here's biden talk about the mother of the irish prime minister. his mom lived in long island for 10 years. god rest her soul. although she's -- wait, your mom? she's still alive? your dad passed. well, god bless her soul. and then there was biden on john mccain's economic plan which biden said, and we quote, does nothing to tackle the number one job facing the middle class and it happens to be a three letter word, jobs, j- o-b-s, jobs. then the time he told chuck graham, stand up, chuck, let

them see you. yeah, graham uses a wheelchair. but for mr. vice president you also happen to be the same guy that told us then candidate barack obama the first mainstream african-american who is articulate, bright, clean, and a nice looking guy. really, clean? he's the first clean one? see, that's why almost nobody gets upset. that's just joe is pretty much sums up our feels. but don't be mad, republicans. remember, this ain't the first time ungaffable has been in the white house. anita. >> thank you, derek. those were some doozies. >> for sure is. moving on to the weather. >> we saw a couple of storms mainly south of us and east of us. now the clouds are clearing out and the good thing, anita, tomorrow you are going to notice the humidity levels drop. we all love to hear that especially in the middle of august. really nice dance in store for us. doppler is quiet. we saw some leftover showers

south of us out toward the eastern shore and the coast but it is much quieter out there. wrong camera. ignore that picture. that's from earlier. temperature now 78 degrees. clear skies, dew points in the 60s. tomorrow dew points will fall into the 50s. upper 70s right now. mid-60s in gaithersburg and winchester. culpeper, you have cooled down to 64. pax risks 74 degrees. satellite radar showing us we saw most of the storms south of us as promised. richmond, you got a couple of tornado warnings but around the d.c. area mostly cloudy skies. they did look threatening at times but around the beltway things are pretty quiet. so dry morning commute. don't forget your sunglasses. less humid for thursday that will feel nice. friday starts out sunny, then we do see some afternoon and evening storms arriving as a cold front approaches once again. i think some of those storms on friday have the potential to become strong to severe.

here's a look at your 9 future- cast. overnight things clear out. a glorious, beautiful start to your thursday. lower humidity. lots of sunshine. temperatures around 90. that may seem high, but with the lower humidity, it will feel really nice. by friday morning lots of sunshine. we start out good but then you can see the cold front coming through by friday afternoon. now, friday's temperature is in the highs are a little bit tougher to kind of figure out, only because it all depends on the timing of the cold front and how soon the clouds come in. right now it could come in as early as afternoon and impact us into the evening. and then by late evening we're looking at cloudy conditions. again, some of those storms could become strong to severe on friday. so we'll keep our eye on. that overnight, though, clearing skies and mild, lows in the lower sick to lower 70s. thursday morning lots of sunshine. a pleasant start. air quality is moderate, highs around 90. check out your next three days. our 9 weather alert code tomorrow green, because it

looks gorgeous. friday yellow because of storms. should we change to the red? keep an eye on. that thienz lower 90s. saturday, boy do we cool down. lower 80s. the nats are in town starting friday and all through the first part of next week, and you can see on sunday we're still in the lower 80s. but look at monday, tuesday, wednesday, mid-80s. i would say this weekend especially we are going to get a little hint of early fall so enjoy. that we're also watching the friday storm potential. >> all right, anny. >> use up some more of those precious stephen strasburg innings tonight. >> just a few left, supposedly. we don't know the exact number but enjoy it while you can. we don't know how much locker we will see stephen strasburg this season. today he made what could be one of his final starts of the season. we've got that for you. plus, heading into game two, are the skins lacking in

while most are looking ahead to the postseason and wondering whether or not stephen strasburg will still be a part of the nationals rotation, manager davy johnson said he's just focused on today and tomorrow. getting the best out of his ace while he can. well, today he got six more solid innings. a matinee rubber match in san francisco. we'll pick this one up in the top of the 3rd. game tied until danny espinosa rockets one to the deepest part of the park. that's his 13th of the year. nats take a 4-2 lead. strasburg helped to keep it that way. he gave up just four hits. nats take this one 6-4. friday could mark the return of shortstop ian desmond. with a day off tomorrow desmond is expected to play a simulated game with hopes of getting in

the lineup for the mets. desmond has been on the d.l. since july 22nd. orioles going for their second straight against boston. they were held hitless through five innings but down 2-0. they rallied back with a five-run 6th inning. orioles beat the red sox going for the sweep tomorrow. for the first time in major league baseball history three pitchers have thrown a perfect game in one season. the latest coming from seattle's felix hernandez. king felix was exactly that today, livering a perfect game this afternoon, complete with 12 strikeouts against the tampa bay rays. it's the first ever perfect game in the mariners' franchise. since the end of last season, 25 players have left the university of maryland football program to play for other schools. that left some gaping holes in the terps' roster. now an injury has created

another void. quarterback c.j. brown who finished last season as the starter will miss the entire 2012 season after tearing his acl. a big blow to the terps' hopes of improving on a two-win season. brown started just five games but in that time wracked up the second most yards in a season. the skins on the other hand obviously set at quarterback but there are several other position battles that will play out. this weekend should be a more exciting game as the starters will get to see more playing time but the skins are confident in the talent they have. >> we're working hard every day. we've got a lot of young talent, and we're excited. >> we know we're really good, and every play we know we can dominate. we've just got to go out and do it night. really think we're gelling a lot. the chemistry is there, the camaraderie.

>> if you're the betting kind, there's this season's super bowl odds. patriots at the top, jaguars last, and burgundy and gold middle of the pack, 60 to 1 odds, better in that recent seasons. >> i would have thought it would have been worse. >> probably closer to that 200 to 1. so moving up. >> moving in
