Back over to the maps, this time from Southern Maryland and weal end with the live look one more time outside here on the northbound side of i95 beginning to spill out in springfield. The question this morning is why . Why did yesterdays chaos in capitol hill happen . The mother of the woman killed by Capitol Hill Police told Media Outlets her daughter was suffering from postpartum depression. You may have seen it on tv yesterday. The wild chase that started near the white house and ended on capitol hill. Police discovered there was a baby girl in the car after all this stopped. Delia goncalves is live near capitol hill. That part of the scene with more on the story this morning. Good morning delia. Reporter good morning meek. Andrea mike, andrea. Police still here on the scene at first and constitution as they continue to investigate why a young mother would do such a thing. Especially with a child in the car. Were told about a 17monthold little girl. You can tell you this morning fortunately that little girl is safe. She is in protective custody. Last night though, investigators searched the suspects stamford home in connecticut last night. According to the New York Times the 34yearold miriam carey grew up in a church going family in brooklyn, new york. Worked as a dental hygienist in connecticut. Yesterday police say the chase started shortly after 2 00 in the afternoon when she rammed her car into Police Barricades outside the white house. Hitting an officer. Who then sped towards the capitol eventually getting out of the vehicle and thats when she was gunned down by police. The capitol was on lockdown. Residents still recovering from the Navy Yard Shooting were shaken. I was just eight bangs really fast right in a row. Pretty damn close. Because we felt i mean we were right there. They crashed into the side of this seek. To kind of block vehicle. To kind of block him in so he couldnt get away. Then the shooting started and i can honestly say we didnt stand up there and watch and see who was shooting or anything. I mean because we were worried about stray bullets. What were your immediate reactions when you heard this in. Not again. Like not this is the type of thing where we live and we work here. And we do Public Service and you hope that things like this dont happen where people vent aggression or whatever it is that leads to actions like this today. Its just a very sad reflection on times right now. Reporter reaction from folks on capitol hill during the chaos that ensued there yesterday. Certainly some very tense and scary moments for folks that ended in tragedy here on capitol hill. The suspect we can tell you was not armed at the time she was gunned down. There was no weapon inside her vehicle. There was a 23 year veteran of the Capitol Police injured during the police chase. This morning, hes recovering at home. Mike back to you. Thank you delia. Today on capitol hill, lawmakers may be giving federal workers a little bit of peace of mind. The house is scheduled to vote on a proposal that would give workers back pay once the Government Shutdown is over. Meanwhile the president is now can semid his entire canceled his entire trip to asia next week. John kerry will be going instead. In addition to passing the 2014 budget for at least a continuing resolution soon, the debt ceiling is looming. After that they must raise the u. S. Borrowing limit by october 17th or the government will default on its loans. A little help available for couples whove had their wedding sites shut down by the National Park service. The Washington National cathedral is opening its beautiful forwarden to any couple who had to change their wedding plans due to the Government Shutdown. Officials say the garden would be offered free of charge to anyone who wanted to hold their wedding ceremonies outdoors. It is 5 34. Sleigh bells ring. Its time for your money report. Really . And were in the holiday mood. Jess is talking about santa and people already making some purchases in. Thats right. Well youve seen the ads and maybe the displays in stores already. To get you to start your Holiday Shopping already. And it isnt even halloween yet. But a new poll from retail me not finds two out of five of us started Christmas Shopping last month. And one of their shopping experts tells us why you should start your shopping too. People are starting earlier and earlier. And there are a couple of reasons for that. I mean first of all its actually quite financially prudent to spread out your Holiday Shopping over a number of months. Its less impactful on the Monthly Budget than sort of packing your shopping into november and december for instance. Then you know this year were kind of emerging from a slightly soft back to School Shopping season. So a lot of retailers are scrambling to clear out a lot of back to School Merchandise in order the make room for holiday to make room for holiday merchandise. This is a great time to be a consumer. You are looking for apparel and you can snap up a lot of great deals right now. Kohls jcpenney both have great deals. We have a fantastic deal coming up on amazon. Com on retail me not as well. Particularly in the apparel space. I can tell you my daughter has already started handing me lists of things that she wants from santa this year. Now at the end of the day the polls have found 91 of people admit to overspending on presents for others. How can we avoid that in year and how can we stay away from that deal envy that sometimes people feel . You know deal envy is something that we all experience where you buy something and you realize in hindsight you paid too much for it. And we feel a lot of anxiety and guilt according to our survey. And its quite easy to avoid actually. Simply by being a savvy shopper, by using Price Comparison tools like a google shopping or a red laser. Also utilizing retail me not and cure rating offers and cur rating offers and emails for yourself so you can see the deals that are relevant to you as a shopper. Activating the mobile app so when youre out and about shopping in d. C. Area, youll be notified to deals that are right there within the mall. Our consumers report saving an average of 20 per transaction so if you can do that for every recipient on your list, you would save so much throughout the holiday season. That is a huge savings. Now trey i know its early but where do you think were going to find some of the best deals this year . Ming forward into the holiday season. Watch out for black friday and cyber monday for your electronics. Then interested in winter apparel, youll see a lot of very deep discounting for that very close to the holiday. Believe it or not nine out of ten of us have deal envy this time of year. Already. 91 of us admit to overspending on presents for others. There are bargains out there. You can find them. And now you have time to look. Look you have a little time to look for the bargains for a change. Well, one of the few Tropical Storms that weve even heard about this year may hit the United States and bring some muchneeded rain. Its already helping some of the federal workers sent home earlier this week. Well have more on that coming up. Patchy fog is the problem this morning especially southwest of town. Warrenton. Culpeper even toward cambridge on the eastern shore. Visibility three quarters of a mile down to near zero in spots. Today though another hot humid unseasonable day for october. Low 80s by noon and 88 by 4 00. The high for the day. And 79 still very balmy at 8 00 p. M. So some of the Football Games tonight might be able to go in tshirts.

We may make a run toward that. Even martinsburg that 89 may be. But i think the 90s here in d. C. And baltimore. Theyre safe. Way too warm for this time of year but the records are safe. This morning, out on the michael son weather cam you can see the monument. Good visibility. Well be warming up pretty quickly. To 79 by 11 00 and a very warm sticky lunch hour. 85 degrees at 1 00. On our way toward 88 and maybe 89 in d. C. Winds out of the west only about 6, 8 miles an hour. So not a lot of wind. And a slim chance for an afternoon shower. Fog, thats the big problem were talking about this all morning. Were down to quarter mile visibility in manassas and warrenton. Three quarters in cambridge and down in louisa. Shenandoah valley youve been popping in and out. Petersburg a quarter mile now. In good faith buc down to a gaithersburg down to a mile and a quarter.

Dumfries this morning hello Prince William county 60 degrees. Another look outside on that michael son weather camera Washington Monument scaffolding all lit up. Little haze in the air. 68. The winds are calm. And the humidity at 84 . So like weve been saying this morning, little bit of a frizz alert out there. Keep that in mind. Heres the futurecast. Were looking at some clouds here and there. Some showers well to the north. One or two could meek into the mountains of western maryland and West Virginia but i think for the most part a dry day here in d. C. Now tomorrow, well were going to start out all right. But by the middle of the day here, by lunchtime though a few showers starting o pop especially north and west of d. C. Thats where were going to have a chance for the isolated afternoon shower and more so up to the masondixon line into jersey and pennsylvania if youre traveling north for the weekend. Then by sunday, well be looking better but out to the west, theres a cold front gathering and its going to drop some moisture from the tropics thanks to Tropical Storm karen which is Tropical Storm warnings out for southeast louisiana. Hurricane watch out for the central gulf coast into western florida. This will likely be a strong Tropical Storm when it makes landfall. You can see from the satellite this morning how it weakened and looks a little better and the track on karen with wind of 60 miles an hour now. Takes it to a strong Tropical Storm near the mouth of the Mississippi River sunday overnight saturday night into sunday morning. Then by sunday 9 00 or so making landfall near west florida and then moving to the northeast bringing some much needed moisture our way by monday, monday night. 88 today with a stray shower at the worst. Hot and humid. Oh. Going to be a tough day for october. Tomorrow 88. Again a chance of the stray afternoon shower. Better chances north of d. C. Hot again sunday. 87.
