Grandmother and grandfather. He shot at five officers and five including a state trooper opened fire, miller was killed and then police found the child in the car. I cant imagine that, how the family is dealing with the physical and Emotional Trauma of losing a 3 year old. Her death means that 13 of the 33 murders in Prince Georges County this year, including now two 3yearold girls on consecutive weekends are consecutive in nature, calling for action from Angela Alsobrooks and others.

Former governor Bob Mcdonnells defense team started to present its case in richmond this morning and the first person on the stand presented a not so rosy picture of Maureen Mcdonnell. Jeff goldberg is live from the courthouse with todays developments. Court wrapping up just a few minutes ago. Im going to look over my shoulder. I expect governor mcdonnell will be walking out of court momentarily. No testimony from him yet. We dont know when that will happen. The key witness for the defense saying that Bob Mcdonnell was a cheerleader for all virginia businesses and gave no special treatment to Jonnie Williams or star scientific. And that witness, janet kelly, said she didnt want to pile on Maureen Mcdonnell, and almost tiered teared up on the stand. The governor is not out yet, but looks like he is coming in this direction. Janet kelly saying she did not want to pile on mohamed morsi, on Maureen Mcdonnell. This morning janet kelly did not say much. Is it hard to be part of this . Maybe we can talk afterwards. Im not going to answer any questions. But once inside she offered a blistering critique of former first lady Maureen Mcdonnell. Kellye, a longtime political loyalist to governor mcdonnell who was appointed as secretary of the commonwealth in 2010, calls Maureen Mcdonnell very difficult, very demanding, very divaish saying there were concerns she was suffering from mental illness. She testified that in january of 2012, the entire staff of the Governors Mansion signed a letter threatening to quit because of the first ladys behavior. Maureen mcdonnell was path logically incapable of taking any spont. She spoke glowingly of her former boss saying he never asked her to hire or appoint anyone associated with Jonnie Williams calling him one of the best people i know, boy scout of the year, mr. Honest. The former governor was eager to launch his defense. If you think im going to change the game when i present your side of the story . I think a lot of the truth has already come out but we look forward to being able to present our case. There you see him on the corner of north 7th street and east broad. Governor mcdonnell walked out of the courtroom moments ago and hes been very cheerful and up beat walking in and out of the courtroom talking about how he is ready to take the stand. We heard from the secretaries of commerce and finance who corroborated what the former secretary of the commonwealth said, that governor mcdonnell made no financial requests on behalf of star scientific. That witness called the relationship between her and Jonnie Williams flirty and saying she would often take her anger out on the former governor. More on that at 6 00. Jeff goldberg, abc7 news.

Some 41,000 fans expected at fedex field and some 80,000 fans, so that will mean a lot of problems. On any given day at any time of the day, the 12 miles of roads that separate fedex field and nats park can turn into a parking lot. So after the mix, rush hour traffic, a prime time preseason redskins game and a nats game with similar start times. It will probably horrendous. Theres nothing you can do about that.

Its costing the organization 690,000, money they said they hadnt anticipated spending. We want to make sure that the federal government understands that even a federally qualified center like this does not have the means to take on this many children at one time. According to the federation for American Immigration reform undocumented medical care costs 6 billion a year. They say the system is being overloaded by an influx of immigrants. Local county officials, education officials are not being consulted except to be told, hey, people are here. Youre going to have to deal with it.

And 79 in annapolis. Temperatures slowly dropping to the lower 80s to the 70s during the game. As far as fedex field weather, we have the kickoff at 8 00 tonight and temperatures should be in the upper 70s then. I dont think well see any rain chances there either. A cloudy comfortable night to be outders. Outdoors. Very hot and humid in will ming ton, north carolina. Theres a frontal system spinning over maine. You can see a cold front coming back as a warm front and it is a stationary front with elements of low pressure moving along the front. This kind of gray look, you havent lost the color in your set. This is water vapor image, and the brighter colors show the highest moisture content in the atmosphere. So running along this rine, the farther west you go, the more sunshine. The air is fairly dry. This front may oscillate a little bit and a few more areas of low pressure will develop and as a result well have a chance of showers. Like tomorrow, there could be a few showers. But all the heavy stuff for now is to the south and southeast. Virginia tide, outer banks, lots of heavy lightning and rain. In the morning we have shower chances in the afternoon a chance of showers. Low to middle 80s, you see them ebb every now and again with a stationary front to the south.

Coming up, who put their money into their 401ks but didnt see it for weeks even months. 7 on your side with accusations with accusations against one local company. 7 on your side also, with why a new facebook app is causing a messenger backlash. Heres a look at whats coming up tonight on abc7 primetime. 7 is on your side with Important Information about a big facebook change. No more sending private messages to your friends through your facebook app on your phone. You now have to use a different messenger app and that has people concerned about privacy. Kris van cleave with the reaction to the change and the truth about this new app. App anger or facebook frustration, thousands of users are speaking out about concerns over privacy and the companys move to require you to download a second app to do something you used to be able to do already. Hes saying no and hes not alone. The company is seeing widespread facebook frustration over their move to essentially force users who want to continue to use the popular messages feature, to install a separate app on their phones. My big concern is theyre making it more complicated to use their products. Facebook says the new messenger app will make it easier to share picture and videos and app. Tammy downloaded it despite concern over how much information thats on your phone this messenger app can access. I dont understand why people are upset about it, because facebook is already accessing that information. It has the lowest rating in ples app store, 1 one star. If it could get less than one star i think it would. People dont like it, they dont like to be forced to do anything whether its for their good or not. I think facebooks position is youll get used to it and youll like it. Sounds a lot like big brother and the d. M. V. Tom bridge advises companies on technology and hes gotten a lot of questions on how invasive the new app is. I think theres a lot more people sick of facebook making changes than there are real concerns about privacy. Messenger seeks permission to use the same types of information that the original facebook app does. If youre using an iphone you can tailor how much information county it to ac you want it to access. Its different for android. You can use the messaging feature on your web browser. Okay. Chris will give you a lesson later. Good deal. Coming up, did you see something good at the movies this summer . Arch campbell is here with his favorites.

A mother of two was found dead in her home on west forest road, just blocks from where a 3 year old was killed last week. Stephen tschida with reaction from members of this stunned community. The 3yearold little girl was shot and killed in a home just down the block. Then this morning residents of this community were shocked to find out that inside this home, just a short distance away from where the little girl was killed, a young mother also had been murdered. They still are trying to come to terms with a violent outburst which claimed the life of toddler kanisha bi b. And now residents are dealing with another murder. I was there the day that little girl and its senseless i have to be here on channel 7 for another baby killed. She dropped off the child at a babysitter and when she didnt come to get them, she dropped them off at the house this morning. They found her inside. Im at a loss of words. This community is reeling from two killings in such close proximity. Its getting unsafe to even live around here. Stay away from windows. Keep my doors locked. A little girl got shot while she was in her house minding her business. While investigators comb the scene for clues, neighbors are deeply troubled. I went to bed at 12 00 and apparently she got home at 12 30, didnt hear anything. Thats the thing that makes me kind of sad. Yeah. Weve learned that the babysitter actually was the grandmother. She came to the home this morning with two little boys, the sons of the victim. As far as the identity of the victim, Prince Georges County police are waiting to release that name. And as far as any suspects in this case, nothing to report there. Reporting live, stephen tschida, abc7 news. Thank you, stephen. Lets take a look at the days other top stories.

A busy night ahead for the sports teams and fans in the area. Rg3 and the redskins will take on Johnny Manziel and the Cleveland Browns at fedex field. And at the time in baseball the nats will be taking on the Arizona Diamondbacks at nats park. First pitch at 4 07 p. M. This is going to cause traffic issues for sure. Bob immler has a look ahead for us from the wtop traffic center. On the inner loop beltway, slow out of tysons out of 270 and outer loop as well. We had a longstanding crash before shady grove. Its gone now, but the delays are with us. And yes a lot of traffic heading for fedex field as they get readied to play the redskins and Cleveland Browns at 8 00. So theres a lot of people going in that direction as well. Theyll be heading to nats park getting downtown along 395 north and kenilworth south. Now a new crash just before lorna.

An ocean city pole dancer is speaking out about her controversial boardwalk performances. Chelsea plimale moved to ocean city from d. C. She had worked as an exotic dancer since she was 18. So when she couldnt find a job she thought to take her skills to the boardwalk. But her performances have drawn a lot of criticism she says she never expected. They can keep walking. They dont have to let their children watch me perform even though im completely tasteful. I dont dance around too much, i just do pole tricks. While shes within her rights to perform, many in ocean city are worried the boardwalk is becoming less and less family friendly. Which explains why theres so many people who cant wait to get to the boardwalk this summer. One of the reasons. Its been a georgetown staple for 50 years but now mr. Smiths is closing down. Will the popular Bar Restaurant have a future somewhere else . Richard reeve has the story. Its a classic bar and restaurant. When you think of georgetown, you think think of this place. From its earthy wood tones to casual cool. We are the friendliest saloon in town. Its been part of georgetown for 50 years. This is where the cool people came back in the day. Were sad to see it go. But this m. Street icon is shutting down. The manager says the bostonbased landlord wants more money. 25 employees facing uncertainty the doors will close on or around september 1. Its hard for me, for all the employees. Our head chef has been here for almost 30 years. So youll forgive the patrons if they enjoy lunch with a side of nostalgia. The favorite part of the restaurant, the outdoor garden, kind of an oasis in the middle of a busy city. Here there are memories but also character. All you see now are chain stores. We see them everywhere we go, but this one is unique. Lots of fond memories running around, and going in the kitschuppen and trying kitchen and trying their foods and being a kid. But take heart, fans, they are looking for a new location in georgetown. We hopefully will continue to be the friendliest saloon in town. And hopefully a new start for this georgetown landmark. Its locally owned. Its the local color. Richard reeve, abc7 news. Coming up on abc7 news at 5 00, parents start saving. Hear how much it now costs to raise a child to the age of 18.

Arch campbell tells us his favorites and which ones reigned supreme. Our summer movie season is kind of like our summer weather this year. Not so hot, but more pleasant than usual. This is not war. Its human extinction. This summers transformers reboot holds the title of Summer Movie Box Office so far with 243 million. I guess were stuck together, partners. But coming fast on its heels is guardians of the galaxy, the hilarious star wars sendup, it rates as one of my summer favorites. Ready for some fun . Boyhood has received the best reviews of the year. 99 on rotten tomatoes. A story of a texas kid, follows him from age 6 to age 18. It took 12 years to film. I think boyhood will contend for the oscars next year. Best musical of the summer . Get on up. It captures the spirit of his life and music. And the number one dvd movie rental .

I like guardians of the galaxy and boyhood. I cant believe it. Im waiting for a movie called gone girl. Thats a little hint. Thank you, arch. Well see you soon. Now were gone, for a break at least. Coming up next on abc7 news at 5 00, the big change at if you have money taking out of your paycheck for your 401k, you expect it to go right into the market to start working for your retirement. But some local employees are alleging their company waited months to deposit their money and it cost them big time. Joce sterman goes searching for answers in this 7 on your side report. Employees say a sterling, Virginia Company has been keeping them in the dark. A lot of unanswered questions. For decades cleat wood has overseen a 75 employee base. But that money was missing from your check. It went somewhere. We know dont know where. We just dont know where. He saw deductions for his 401k, but that money didnt make it right into his retirement fund. After talking to his coworkers, wood believes xplus took thousands in 401k money from dozens of employees checks and held onto it, sometimes for months at a time. I understand that economics are bad and were a niche industry with the museum fabrication, but i also understand that accounting has to be held accountable. Its joce sterman calling again with abc7. 7 on your side has tried to get answers. We called and emailed repeatedly. Even going to the xplus headquarters, but no one would talk to us. Legal experts say though, companies with delayed deposits will have to explain them to the feds. Theres a safe harbor. Virginia benefits expert says theres a timeframe when money taken out has to be put into a 401k plan. Theres a actual hard deadline of 15 days into the next month. Thats not the rule. The rule is much shorter. For Smaller Companies like xplus, he says money should make it into an account within seven days, but he and his coworkers saw delays as long as two months before a deposit. But that could mean trouble with the feds. Cleatwood filed a complaint with the department of labor. The agency will not confirm whether they are investigating. I want to get some results for everyone at the company who has lost money on this. Money lost when it was missing from the market. Joce sterman, abc7 news. We were tipped off about this story from an abc7 viewer. So if you have a story for our 7 on your side team to investigate, just send an email to 7onyourside wjla. Com. A new survey by the site bankrate. Com says 30 of americans are not saving for retirement. 14 are over the age of 65. Most people blame their high cost of living and day to day expenses for that. On the opposite end of the spectrum. 32 of the people between ages 3049 say they started saving when they were in their 20s. 16 started saving when they were in their 30s. Looks like target is hoping to boost its bottom line by keeping some stores open until 11 00 p. M. On sundays and even 11 00 p. M. Or midnight on other days. They are trying to compete with amazon and walmart, were told, which are of course open 24 hours a day. Things are shaping up to be dry so far for the start of the heavy sports evening we have planned in town. I think right now, we have the sunshine outside the belfort furniture weather center, but i think for most areas well see a bit of cloudiness tonight. And as i said the rain is far to the south. Lets look at one of our weather bug cameras in annapolis looking at the scenic severn river. It will be partly to mostly cloudy tonight. 759 sunset. 81 infed. All the action for the day has been over virginia, north carolina. With heavy showers and storms, were just on the northern side. But there is a frontal zone stationary to the south that may wobble and this computer model doesnt mean this will necessarily happen, but it will wobble overnight, possibly bringing showers for the morning. And then as we get into the day wednesday looks like more concentrated rain and showers and thunderstorms will move in from the west. So unsettled to say the least. Through the day tomorrow, partly to mostly cloudy, low to mid80s, southeasterly winds. A touch more humid tomorrow. And midday and afternoon tomorrow, the chances for scattered showers and thunderstorms will increase and the pattern will stay the same for thursday. Finally a bit of improvement as we head through the day on friday. Thanks so much. We have a lot going on in the Sports Department around here, and a good night for it. Thats right. Horace holmes is standing by at fedex field standing by for the redskins and the browns. I guess you would like to be out here leon. Absolutely, you got it man. I wish. I could try to figure out what its like to be leon harris for a day. Its the Cleveland Browns versus the Washington Redskins out here. But all the pregame hype has been over the pregame quarterbacks, Johnny Manziel for the browns and of course rg3 for the redskins. Both heisman winners with a lot of similarities and a lot of interesting plot twists coming into this game. The might only be a preseason game but this monday night matchup will bring plenty of buzz to fedex field. All eyes will be on the two quarterbacks, Robert Griffin iii and Johnny Manziel. Im sure if anybody wants to compare, they will say both of us are really fast. Goes that can play backyard football and both want to win. They use their legs as well as their arms to make things happen. Manziel sat down with monday night footballs john gruden and gives plenty of props to rg3. You look at his transition coming from baylor and then hopping in and starting week one, it was pretty impressive. John is the older brother of head coach jay gruden. So while john is calling the game upstairs, jay will be under the microscope. John, hes going to be positive if he can, but if i do something thats out of line ignorant, im sure hell call me on it. [ laughter ] to sprinkle in a little more drama, former offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan makes his return as play caller. Things didnt end well between he and mike shanahan. Will it get awkward . Its not that kind of relationship that we wont talk. If i get a chance to see him and talk, i definitely will. The most important thing for the redskins this evening, get up to game speed and dont get bit by the injury but. Be efficient, move the ball. Score points, put points on the board. Follow your assignments, do your assignments. No messy errors. For goodness sakes, stay healthy everybody. A very interesting game, it should be very exciting. Rg3 is starting, Johnny Manziel will be starting in later. The kick off at 8 00. Reporting live at fedex field, horace holmes, abc7 sports. Back to you guys. Wait a second. Wheres the update on the cheerleaders . Weve been waiting on that. Ill get you johnny spokesperson get a 1,000 turbocharged reward card with a new volkswagen turbo. Why are we so obsessed with turbo . Because we like giving you power, but we also like giving you fuel efficiency. Like the sporty jetta. And the turbocharged passat tdi® clean diesel. Okay.

Avo get a 1,000 turbocharged reward card on new 2014 turbo models or lease a 2014 jetta for 169 a month after a 1,000 bonus. How much does it cost to raise a child these days . Well parents brace yourselves for some sticker shock. Greta kreuz with the numbers that are just out. Most of us would say being a parents is priceless. Still a new federal report out might surprise you. How much will you end up paying for the apple of your eye. The agricultural departments annual report finds the average cost of raising a child born last year to a middle income family is more than 245,000. Adjusted for inflation, more than 304,000. The jones family of d. C. Not surprised. When you need something you get it. You dont really add up the totals. But theyre always growing and they always need something new. The number one cost is housing, 30 of the total, followed by child care and education at 18 , and food at 16 . And the report doesnt include the cost of pregnancy or college. It gives you something to really think about for your future and the future of where your children are going. Compare this to 1960, when the cost about 25,000. Child care expenses were negligible then because most mothers stayed home. Daryl doesnt have kids yet, but if the numbers are true. I will ask for a raise now. Parents with three or more kids spent 22 less per child, thanks to buying in bulk, shared bedrooms, and handmedowns. The last report found not surprisingly that teenagers are the most expensive. They eat more food and when they start driving the cost of transportation and insurance go way up. Youre right about that. You know, right . Painful report there greta, thank you. Thats it for us on abc7 news at startsabc7 news at 6 00 right now. Captioned by the National Captioning Institute www. Ncicap.

Senior political reporter scott thuman is live in our newsroom with what the president is doing and he also has new details on this shooting. It is big enough that the president only talked of two subjects today, iraq and ferguson. In fact hes sundaying attorney general eric holder to talk to the dozens of f. B. I. Agents going door to door to hear witness accounts. The fight in ferguson, missouri top priority for president obama who returned from vacation briefly to among other things meet with attorney general eric holder. I understand the passions and anger that arise over the death of Michael Brown.
