morning. from the very beginning montgomery county police have said that they know that brian betts was alive up until about 11:30 the night that he was killed. they also said that he let somebody into that house and he let someone in that he knew. so what's the motive here? it's the question everybody has been asking all day long. was it robbery? who did he let in? who are these people? how did he know them? we're hoping to hear a little bit more about the motive in this case and who these people are tonight at 6:00 when we expect chief manger to come out and address reports. >> we'll be

why someone would do this to mr. betts because he was a real nice man. >> there was no question brian was one of our shining stars. we won't replace him. >> reporter: school officials say a note to

seriously. >> we're going to watch these showers come across. there's some scattered thunderstorms out there and they kind of beef up and fall down a little bit in intensity and then come back up just a little bit. you can see the darker clouds as we look back out towards downtown from northwest from the tower camera. they're dark. they're moving through. there's a frontal system, a cold front coming through right now. that is helping to kind of kick off some of these showers and these thunderstorms. it's really a cold front in name only because it's not like there's a lot of cold temperatures behind this front but it's slightly drier behind the front. we have a little bit of sunshine today and that has gotten the atmosphere prime timed if you will to release -- atmosphere primed if you will to release some of these thunderstorms. again, these have been going up and then they go up for a little while and come down, weaken a little bit and come back up again. i think that will be the trend for the next couple of hours out there. one little shower and thunderstorm line going across the northern sections of the beltway just northeast in the district. then back out along 66. we'll get a little tighter here into this. you can see northern sections of fauquier county, back over into southern loudoun county there. then over into reston and western sections of fairfax county. this is all moving to the east at about 15 to 20 miles an hour. nothing severe but you can expect a lot of rain here. maybe a little bit of thunder and lightning coming on across as we go into the northern sections of the district. extreme northeast there's a little shower and potentially a thunderstorm too. we're not seeing any cloud-to- ground lightning with these but there may be a little cloud to cloud out there that our lightening in detectors can't detect. you can see this is going right across the northern sections of the beltway up towards 95, 29, silver spring. this is past across you and eventually may clip southern sections of columbia before it moves on out off to the east. we'll be watching these thunderstorms the next couple of hours. again there's an outside chance one or two may try to become severe but it doesn't look like there's going to be a lot of that happening this evening. be on the lookout for heavy rain and gusty winds and a little bit of dangerous lightning moving through with these storms. here's the forecast for this evening. i think by 11:00 it's all out of here. we're just going to have some clouds. mostly sunny tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. temperature 70 degrees. by noontime tomorrow we're already up to 78. we had a little bit of shower activity of course this morning. but with the front coming in, notice late this afternoon there's again just a couple of little showers and thunderstorms firing up here right along this front. it's not much cooler at all behind the front. i think more than anything it's just a little bit drier. hagerstown 82. martinsburg 77. gaithersburg is 73 because they're -- [ indiscernible ] here in the city we're 81. generally speaking to the northwest we're just talking about 70s, middle 70s if you will. so it's slightly cooler but not much. the futurecast, this is tomorrow at 6:00. we'll be nice tomorrow but late in the afternoon there could be one or two isolated thunderstorms. it's not going to be a big deal, though. beautiful on wednesday. lots of sunshine. high pressure builds in. temperatures will be in the 80s. same for thursday. it looks pretty good with warm conditions on thursday as well. we're going into a very nice little weather trend here. 70 tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. noontime 78. again just an isolated thunderstorm late in the day tomorrow. it looks like one or two could pop up and that's about it. wednesday is gorgeous with a high temperature of 81 degrees. thursday looks nice, too. a little warmer, 83. as we get into the weekend friday, saturday looks a little bit unsettled. then we'll be cooler for the weekend. much cooler it looks like on sunday and to start next week temperatures lower 70s, maybe even some 60s in there. >> wow, really? >> yeah. up and down springtime weather. >> thank you, gary. now to the talk of the town on tmz. a star studded weekend in the district. some of hollywood's big names came to town for the white house correspondents dinner. who did your crews catch up with here in the district? >> you had everyone out there. this was a huge weekend. i think a couple of people that we talked to, though, was jessica alba which was huge the fact that she actually talked back to us. she's one of those celebrities that will not say anything to the cameras and finally she said something to us this weekend. she just said hey, how you doing and the run was good because she did that revlon bick walk out there. we also got jay leno who we felt bad for because a lot of his jokes were bottoming at the dinner. then we had johann seen and she's a huge star. the paparazzi did a bet. i'll buy everyone a beer if she talks. i'll let you watch that on tonight's show because it was very funny. >> we're also hearing about dr. arnie cline, michael jackson's long-time friend and physician. claims elale been receiving horrible death threats. why does he claim he's being targeted? >> last week he did an interview and basically came out and said that michael jackson was gay and that he had a relationship with the office manager at the doctor's office. arnie and michael jackson went back for many years. they're really good friends. with him coming out with this news, a lot of michael jackson fans went crazy over the weekend. there was a lot of death threats allegedly being sent to him along with this office manager saying they were lying and so now arnie is saying look, i wasn't trying to out him by any means or to i guess say anything intensive. he was my good friend. at the same time, you know, the guy is gone and he was revealing information that he didn't put out there himself. >> we'll see you right here at 6:30 for tmz on tv. >> certainly a lot of celebrities in town. it's been fun hearing from friends
