a bizarre case, derrick. >> reporter: bizarre indeed. you witness what appears to be a kidnapping in broad daylight with dozens of people watching. what would do you? citizens in stafford faced with just such a question yesterday. authorities said they did the right thing even though what appeared to be a kidnapping turned out to be something else. the video is very disturbing in a target parking lot in virginia. two women and a man struggle with a teenager. she was screaming i don't want to go. eventually, she's overpowered and forced into a mini van, which pulls off. a number of horrified witnesses call police. >> a nationwide amber alert had been issued. thanks to the efforts of the fbi, the jacksonville police department, the florida highway patrol were able to locate this individual. >> reporter: it turns out those so-called abductors were the girl's family members located in florida. they were passing through virginia on their way to a move to florida, a move that the teen did not want to make. a very different story than the one the video surveillance portrayed. >> certainly every indication showed to us that she was being taken against her will. >> reporter: the video also shows people walking or driving by the scene. no one physically intervened, but several did call police, and authorities here say the system worked. >> first and foremost, we don't want any citizen to be injured in this type of situation. the fact that numerous witnesses called the stafford county sheriff's office was exactly what they should do. >> reporter: an apparently happy ending. this incident remains under investigation. authorities in stafford county, including the commonwealth attorney, are pondering whether any charges should be filed against the family. it's believed the trip originated in rhode island. they've not been publicly nid. >> derrick ward live in the newsroom. thank you, derrick. one man is dead after a stabbing at a metro station. it happened at about 3:00 a.m. at the congress heights metro station along the 1200 block of pennsylvania avenue. police do not have a spektuspec. the identity of the victim has not been released. police are looking for a sexual predator after attack near another metro station. this happened friday around 6:30 p.m. at the greenbelt metro station. police say a 15-year-old girl had just left the station and was walking through a metro tunnel when a man started talking to her. she kept walking. he followed her on a foot path that led to a neighborhood and sexually assaulted her. some metro riders say more security is needed at the metro station. >> i think it's dangerous. things keep happening between here and college park. it should be more secure. it's not secure at all. even after the incident, there's no one here. i think something should be done. >> the teenager described her attacker as a hispanic male in his 30s, heavy set with dark curly hair. she says he 4 a dark reddish complexion and a tattoo of a snake on his arm. today british airways workers walked off the job again. cabin crew members walked off on another strike. it's part of a dispute over pay and staffing during long flights. the workers launched a strike last monday. they're picketing again because talks collapsed last friday. it's affecting many flights to and from london's heathrow airport. in march seven days of walkouts cost british airways $63 million. >> the top kill was a bust. bp is moving on to its next plan for stopping the oil leak in the gulf. the top kill plan involved plugging the well with mud, but it wasn't enough. this next plan involves capping it with a funnel like device t could take four to seven days. meanwhile, more oil is leaking into the gulf. bp officials admit they must do better. >> we're putting a lot more of the control, a lot more of the authority, and a lot more of the people much closer to where the action is. >> the only surefire solution is to drill a relief well, but that could take until august. bp's chief operating officer has been getting death threats. >> there is also rising concern about the effect the spill will have on the seafood industry, both in the region and here locally. guests along the waterfront this weekend were wondering how the disaster will affect products and prices. but row after row of fish, crab, shrimp, and oysters and even the louisiana specialty, the crawfish, proved there is no immediate concern. locally, we're enjoying a good harvest from the chesapeake bay. one local merchant worries about the impact the oil spill will have on his business later this year. >> my main concern with the crabs will be in the wintertime because that's where i get them from november until end of march. you know, so that's quite a long time. i don't know what i'm going to do at that time. >> we're shrimp people and shellfish. right now they're all right. >> the hope is that both sellers and buyers of fresh seafood will continue to do all right as everyone keeps an uneasy watch on the cleanup in the gulf. 9:05 right now. 76 degrees outside and warming up quickly. actor dennis hopper has died. we'll take a look at the defining moments of his career. >> the nba final,set. dennis hopper, one of hollywood's most famous bad boys, has died after a battle with prostate cancer. hopper shot to stardom with the 1969 film "easy rider." he both directed and co-starred in it. hopper also had memorable roles in "apocalypse now," "hoosiers," "blue velvet," and "speed." his personal life was plagued with problems. he was married five times and struggled with alcohol and drugs. >> alcohol and drugs caused me to hit bottom. i went insane hearing voices, some classic stuff. >> hopper was last seen in public in march when he received a star on the hollywood walk of fame. dennis hopper was 74 years old. met owe riders are in for another day of delays on the orange line. there is no service between the east falls church and west falls church stations today or tomorrow. the service disruption is related to the dulles metro rail project. metro will be running free shuttle buses between those stations. you should still add an extra 40 minutes to your trip. that disruption on the orange line will continue for the next three weekends. >> 9:10 right now. i know it's hot. i understand it's really beautiful out right now. >> kim martucci has been watching it owl for us. >> head out by the window in the news room, and it looks really good. i think my mike died. we'll let you take over. kim's weekend weather forecast as soon as we come back. how to make sure your day at the pool is problem free. here's eun yang with today's kids' post. >> swimmer's ear, friends you hold dear, and conquering fear. joining us is amy grant of washington today's kids post. let's start with the pain that kids get sometimes when they swim. >> this is a good time to be thinking about swimmer's ear. it's memorial day weekend. the pools are open. kids are going to be swimming, and you hate to have your swimming fun spoiled by an ear infection called swimmer's ear. in monday's kids post, we explain to kids how it happens. most importantly, we give them the tips for how to avoid it. the easiest thing to do, when you jump out of the pool, do this, shake your ear, get the water out, drain the water out. then it can't stay in there and grow bacteria and cause a nasty infection. >> common sense, shake your ear out. >> easy as pie. >> let's talk about a way to remember your friends even when they go away. >> this is a lovely idea. we explain to kids how they can do this. they're called memory bears. they're little stuffed wears bears that you create out of fabric. if, for example, you have an olderister or brother going to college that you might miss, you can take a sweater, a shirt, and sew up a memory bear. maybe you're going away to camp, and you want something of mom or dad's. you can create this memory bear, and there's a pattern in tuesday's kids post to help you do it. >> very sweet. finally, let's meet a boy who climbed his way into the record books. this is an anasing story. >> this is staggering. jordan ra meomero is a 13-year- who climbed to the top of mt. everest last week. in wednesday's kids post, he has a message for kids. he said he did it because he wants kids to get out in the outdoors, explore the outdoors, even if it's not quite as treacherous as mt. everest, and to believe in their dreams. it's a really inspiring story for kids to see what another kid can accomplish. >> what an ambassador for fitness and living well. >> and the outdoors. >> thank you so much, tracy grant. for fun family activities, visit nbcwashington.com and click on kids post. that is kids post on tv this week. i'm eun yang. >> thank you so much, eun yang. 9:15 now. kim is getting herself together over here. >> i'm going to tell the story of what just went on. we had to get kim a new battery. >> studio overhead jib camera. >> i don't think it's on there. >> it will be on youtube later, kim. >> only on this show do people get the quality forecast you prepared. >> to see a pregnant woman running around. >> you heard me say, aaron, just don't look. good morning, everybody. >> lots of sun today. >> we're just like your households. maybe things are running a little hectic for you. that's not uncommon for me. let's get started. we'll take a lock around. it's not going to be bad. it's going to be nice and warm today. as i catch my breath and squeeze in between the cameras, i'll tell you today's high is going to be right around 88. and then tomorrow we're going to take a trip into the 90s. that's summerlike heat coming toward us. get ready. you're going to want to cool off. i don't recommend want to go lift up your dress in the studio to do it. 76 in sterling. 77 in the district. as we take a look up at hagerstown, 72. 77 in charles county. high temperatures today, not stopping there. we're going up to double eights. same with upper marlboro and fredericksburg. 89 in warrenton. a little cooler near the water, st. mary's 86, annapolis 87. speaking of water, temperature at the beach is 65. it's going to be gorgeous in ocean city, lewis, delaware, enjoy the beach weather today. you shouldn't have any showers like hu yesterday. a big change in the weather department. how about the temps? take a look. we're at 77 now. compared to yesterday at this time, we are running seven degrees above that number yesterday. so we already have a warm platform, and we're just going to build on top of that today, again, as we reach toward the upper 80s. we're going to keep this warm and humid air here in place again tomorrow. we can thank our flow coming in from the gulf of mexico that's pumping up the humidity as well. it's going to feel warmer than that temperature. when you think about memorial day being in the 90s, start thinking about really just taking it easy. if you're going to be outside, of course the spf, of course the bottled water. if you can be near the water somewhere, not a bad idea. i don't think we'll have to worry about too many storms. we are watching for just a slight chance for an isolated storm to develop far to the west in the mountains. that would be tomorrow. so let's put it in writing. today we're good. mostly sunny. it will be noticeably warmer than yesterday and more humid. we're looking at temperatures between 86 and 89. southwest winds blowing right around five miles an hour. this evening temps stay mild. we'll be between 78 and 84 between 8:00 and 11:00. we're looking at partly cloudy skies with that humidity up. notice the wind direction doesn't change much. then as we plan ahead, there we go with that 92. that 30% chance of a thunderstorm is really more for the mountains. so think winchester and the shenandoah valley, points west. it is possible they spark a couple there, they could migrate father east into loudoun county, fauquier county, and what not. basically, your weather on memorial day will be dry. late thursday we'll have a shot at showers, but definitely friday. setting us up for a pleas apt saturday into next week. can't say the weather will be dry. temps with lows in the 60s >> have you got your breath? >> i did. >> you are a trooper. didn't miss a beat. >> good looking forecast. for memorial day weekend thrbgs is what you want. dry, sunny, hot. >> we were just saying baptisms going on and picnics and family members coming and going. i really think the next two days is going to be great if you're going to be outside. >> thanks, kim. steven straussburg does something unexpected, and the nba finals are set. >> dan hellie has this morning's sports. >> good morning, everybody. we start with baseball. nats putting a new pitcher out there last night. j.d. martin starting his first game of the season. he didn't do half bad, going six innings, giving up just one earned run. martin didn't get much help. nats only muster five hits against the padres. you know how they do it out in san diego, they bring the sand to you. got to like that. bottom of the first, this is going to hurt a little bit. nick huntley takes martin's hanging curve and just crushes it. that's what happens when you pitch a 72 mile an hour curveball right in somebody's wheelhouse. a three-run shot, 3-0, padres on top. second inning, adam kennedy up the middle. david eckstein can't get to it. adam dunn lumbers home and the nationals get on the board. fast forward to the fourth. chopper over to third. ryan zimmerman makes the play. nice tag by dunn here. another run scores, and nationals lose 4-2 out in san diego. steven straussburg still expected to be called up to the bigs in less than two weeks. last night the nationals ace of the future actually proved to be human, giving up his first home run of the season and take the loss. straussburg's syracuse chiefs taking on scranton wilkes-barre yankees. this guy says so much for concealing my identity, it's too darn hot. rene rivera gets wood on the 99-mile-per-hour fastball for the first time in 48 innings this season. straussburg serves up a home run. the outfielders must have been like what's going on here? that's not supposed to happen. we haven't seen that yet. fourths inning, straussburg facing eduardo nunez, and the rook shows us some hop. how about that for defensive skills. grabs the bouncer, gets the out. few batters later, straussburg gets chad huffman looking. he goes five innings, gives up six hits, three earned runs, and strikes out six. he takes his second loss of the season as syracuse loses 3-2. history for roy halladay down in florida. phillies ace facing hanley ramirez. gets him looking to end the seventh. halladay baffled the marlins all night long. he strikes out 11. doesn't give up a run, a hit, or a walk. folks, that's called a perfect game. the final out coming right here. halladay tosses to second. perfect game of the season and just the 20th in baseball history as the phillies beat the marlins 1-0. talking hoops now. suns and lakers in game six of the western conference finals. a win, and the lakers are headed to the nba finals against the celtics, just like the good old days. a loss, and we're going to a game seven. let's go to phoenix. not a whole lot of lakers fans in the house for this one. we start in the third quarter. jordan farmar miss this is one. no fear. lamar odom is here. gets it to a cutting ron artest. a little unorthodox, but it works. artest had a big game with 25. lakers up 85-67 in the third. later, steve nash driving and dishing to amare stoudemire. he throws it down. lakers still up by 11. stoudamire played well. he had 27. late in the game now, grant hill hanging all over kobe, and kobe says, taste this, g. hill. nothing you can do about that. that's just kobe being kobe. the lakers win it 111-103. they advance to the nba finals where they will take on the boston celtics. to hockey now. i guess the only solace for caps fans and seeing philadelphia in the stanley cup finals is that it's not pibur pittsburgh. game one for lord stanley's cup in chicago. the flyers haven't won a cup in 35 years. the blackhawks haven't won a cup in 49 years. we're in chicago. scott hartnell going to be starring in the next grizzly adams movie. that is a beard and some hair. game tied at 5 late in the third period. keeping in the zone, dave bow len along the boards for kris versteeg. he's in the corner. tomas kopecky, watch him here handle the puck to beat brian boucher. that's your game winner. hawks lead the series 1-0 after the 6-5 win. an upset and maybe an upset stomach highlighted yesterday's french open. andy roddick ousted in the fourth round. serena williams fights off a cold and dizzy spells to advance. roddick played on a court he called his least favorite in the world, and it showed. the russian ranked 116th in the world in the near court here on match point. roddick said the russian just got the best of him on about 70% of the points. you can check out the end right here. roddick out of gas. now he's out of the open, losing 6-4, 6-4, 6-2. on the women's side, serena williams felt ill but well enough to take care of her russian competitor. this is over. she advanced 6-1, 1-6, and 6-2, fighting what she says was a cold. d.c. united wins for just the second time this season, and they do it on a penalty shot. they also got a little boost from a 17-year-old by the name of andy nahar. it's going to be a good one. we're at rfk stadium, und hosting chivas. past to nahar. how about the header in for a goal? ties the game up at 1 apiece. fast forward to the end and stoppage play. this is a substitute goalie, dario delgado. he's not really a goalie at all, but he to play because the other one got tossed. d.c. united moves on to win 3-2. finally, back to baseball. one of the strangest endings to a game you will ever see. angels hosting the mariners. bases loaded for morales, and he gets a walkoff grand slam. nothing like the celebration at home plate. look closely. morales is on the ground. nobody catches him. he lands awkwardly on his leg. had to be carried off on a stretcher. he has a broken leg. probably done for the year. angels win 5-1 but lose one of their best players. that's your morning sports. i'm dan hellie. everybody have a great weekend. >> has hard to watch, isn't it? >> it's a tough way to end a game. pretty rough. time now is coming up on 9:26. 77 degrees here in northwest washington. this morning thousands of people are expected to honor our fallen service members killed in combat. many of them are rumbling through town. how this could affect your drive around the city. plus bp will

the middle 60s. that's a sign it's also going to be a sticky day as well. at least that front that was here yesterday and the day before and the day before that that triggered the rain, that now has dissipated. we don't have to worry about clouds or thunderstorms. it's 70 now in culpepper. there's the 81 in franklin. spots could be warmer than 88. wouldn't be surprised if warrenton and frederick

path near the greenbelt metro station. they say the teenager was leaving the station when a man attempted to talk to her then followed her as she walked from the station toward the foot path leading to a neighborhood. owazo uses the foot path often and found the attack alarming. do you consider it to be dangerous? >> if you're alone, yes. but if you're with a bunch of people -- because i do, every time i am on this path, doi move with people. i try not to be by myself. i'm a little bit shocked that at 6:30 it did happen. i'm very worried, being that it happened to somebody that young. >> reporter: the foot path is on the back side of the metro station. if you're coming from inside the station, you walk through a tunnel to get there. the path connects through a neighborhood and a community park. there are surveillance cameras inside the tunnel facing both ways. it's unclear whether the cameras may have picked up the attacker or if he ever entered the station. riders say more security sneis needed on or around metro property. >> it's dangerous. things keep happening between here and college park. there's a lot of students around. i think they should be more secure. it's not secure at all. even after the incident, there's no one here. i think something should be done. >> reporter: darcy spencer, "news 4 today." that teenager described her attacker as a hispanic male in his 30s, heavy set, dark curly hair. he has a reddish complexion and a tattoo of a snake on his left arm. more violence in prince george's county this morning. two people are dead in separate

[ static ] we continued watching breaking news in prince george's county. three people have been found dead inside a house there. they apparently were overcome by fumes coming from a basement generator. >> this happened in the 3600 block of 38th avenue in hyattsville. we're joined by mark brady with the prince george's county fire department. mark, thanks for joining us. can you start and tell us what happened. >> about 9:15 this morning we received a 911 call reporting someone having difficulty breathing at that address in the hiyattsville area. paramedics dispatched to the scene. upon their arrival, they found two people unconscious. they were soon declared deceased, and a third person was soon located after that. upon further investigation, paramedics found a generator running in the basement more than likely providing a large amount of co, which overcame the residents and eventually took their lives. >> mark, at this point, do we know anything about those people? do you suspect this was a family? >> you know, again, we're very fresh into this incident, and because these are unattended deaths, the local law enforcement will be assisting the fire department in the investigation of exactly what happened, who was the person that called 911, why was the generator running in the basement, were they out of electricity? if so, for what reason. so there are a lot of questions yet to be answered. we're working with local law enforcement to find out exactly what happened. >> mark, a lot of smoke detectors double as co2 detectors these days. was there not one present in the house or not working? >> we're going to be looking into that. what we find is most homes in prince george's county have a working smoke alarm. however, co alarms have not really caught on yet. it might be to the expense of them where people don't really feel they need them. really, as a resident, it's the only way to detect the presence of carbon monoxide in your home because carbon monoxide, as we all know, it's a by-product. you cannot smell it, see it, or taste t that's why we call it the silent killer because it overcomes -- suffocates you from the inside out basically and what it does. it happens, and you don't even know it's happening. >> all the more amazing they were able to make a 911 call. to avoid a future tragedy like this for other families, what would you say if you're feeling any of these symptoms that apparently at least one of them was able to feel and call 911? >> and first and foremost, you should never run a generator inside your home. it needs to be outside in a well ventilated area. same goes for grilling, charcoal grilling. make sure all your sources of co are outside and make sure your utilities that's use by products of co such as natural gas stoves, furnaces, fireplaces are checked annually to make sure they're operating properly and to install a working co alarm in addition to your smoke alarm because really it's the only way to detect the presence of co. if you start feeling sick, flu-like symptoms, dizzinesdizz nausea, you need to seek assistance. >> mark brady with the prince george's fire department. thank you for your time. we'll stay on top of this story throughout the day, and you'll get the latest this evening on news 4 at 6:00 p.m. it's 9:48. let's check in with kim martucci for a check of our weather. it's going to be a lovely, warm weekend outside. >> it will be turning hot by monday on memorial day. there's a look at the weather forecast. start with the boating. southwest winds this afternoon, five to ten knots out on the chesapeake. water temperature, 69. air temperature forecasted to be 78 to 82. and at the beach, it's a nice day today. 85 at ocean city this afternoon. 88 tomorrow. the water temperature there a little cooler. we're talking middle 60s. all right. outside right now, it is 77. we have some sunshine. the humidity is on the climb. fts going to feel sticky out there. other numbers include 81 in frederick. 73 hagerstown. annapolis, 75. la plata, 77. winchester, already in middle to upper 70s. doing some grilling, you'll be heating up the charcoal and heating up right with the air mass above you. 88 for the high and mostly sunny. let's talk about why. this humidity being imported from the gulf of mexico. the front that had been over us dissipated. we'll have two days of, if not warm, hot and humid air with no front nearby to trigger any storms. that will be changing late monday into tuesday. by tuesday that will be our next rainy day across the area. in writing, we've got a good one if not a little humid. 86 to 89 this afternoon. culling up this evening, middle 80s early in the evening, even back to upper 70s by 10:00, 11:00. as we look ahead, 90s are in play tomorrow. we will put an isolated thunderstorm possibility out there for the mountain areas. about a 30% chance of that. 87 on tuesday with the storms rolling in, and then next week after a break on wednesday, we'll prepare for another stormy go of things thursday night and into friday. after that, we'll be drying out with some cooler 70s in time for next saturday. >> all right. thank you, kim. 9:50 right now. we'll be right back. this is unlike any car you've ever seen before. this is power with efficiency. this is an interior that exceeds even the promise of the exterior. this is the all-new jaguar xj. the stunning result of taking a very different road. we are following breaking news this morning out of prince george's county. again, we're learning that three people have been found dead inside a house in hyattsville. they apparently were overcome by fumes from a basement generator thchlt looks like carbon monoxide poisoning. this happened in the 3700 block of 38th avenue in hyattsvil hyattsville. we just spoke with mark brady of the prince george's county fire department. he said you never want to have a generator inside your home. and carbon monoxide detectors can detect co in the air. so families should get one to avoid tragedies like this happen to go your family. >> we'll get on this story. we have reporters in the field and will have an jun date. the chris matthews show is next on nbc 4. it's followed by "meet the ñi press" at 10:30. >> let's get a preview. good morning, washington. coming up at 10:00 on the chris matthews show, in week five of the oil spill disaster, president obama moved to demonstrate a strong government hand and his personal sense of urgency. did he accomplish that?
