In emergencies. And maybe some people dont, but on that day, the four of us became who we were made to be. It sort of bonded to the place where i see that as part of my family. They are in my family circle. We have this bond now. And bennett say they are looking forward beyond this painful anniversary to february when building 197 reopens and they move back in. And continue to work and recover. At the navy yard, scott broom, wusa9. You know, it takes a special breed to rush into a building knowing that theres an armed gunman inside and he has already taken lives. Debra alfarone spoke to an fbi special agent who explained how the bureau handled the disaster from start to finish. The men and women of the fbi had the extraordinary task of combing over every square inch of one of the largest Domestic Crime scenes they have ever managed. And a year later, they are finding those memories are tough to forget. Theres people who went to work that day in the service of our country and didnt come home. That thought never left timothy as he headed up one of the most uniquely challenging responses and investigations that the district has ever seen. We have all been trained on active shooter and the fbi, and you know, the active shooter situation is usually just a matter of minutes and its over. This was different. This scene lasted for over an hour. And when the bullet stopped, it was a special agent in charge of criminal investigations for the bureau who headed up the gruesome task of figuring out how and why lone gunman, aaron alexis, did what he did. Our folks went to work every day for 17 days, it was hard, you know, their main focus was the worst humanity had to offer in that building. 600,000 square foot crime scene that they managed. They did it all for the victims. Alexis had the delusional belief that he was being controlled or influenced by extremely low frequency or elf electromagnet electromagnetic waves. Killed 12, hurt 3, and shattered families across the dmv. At the time those videos were released, theres a lot of information out there as to, were there multiple attackers, you know, were there multiple weapons . We were in the position to dispel that at the earliest possible time with some photos, which we selected, which were not graphic, but should the individual and the nature of the tack. Gallagher says the families were told beforehand. They were kept first and foremost in mind during the entire investigation. And now, the one Year Anniversary is here. As we approach that, whats on your mind . You know, its the victims and the families. Debra alfarone, wusa9. And that is certainly on the minds of the people who gathered here at canal park. Thinking about all of those who lost their lives and the families left behind and all of the heros who work so hard to save so many. That is it from now, coming up in the next ten minutes, bruce leshan joins me to talk about a survivor who wants all of us to remember the names of those who died on this day one year ago. Derek. All right, lesli, one year later, we know so much more about the human cost, and the human spirit. Thank you so much. Well get back to you in a few minutes.

The Law Enforcement departments that were here was Bedford County sheriffs department, Virginia State police and Montgomery CountyMaryland Police down here searching on what they say is a cold case.

This search has been going on since thursday and we believe it has been ramped up. More cruisers here. We dont know if they collected anything, but residents are very curious. Heres what one of them had to say. I have seen a lot of cops coming in. A lot of vehicles, but they were all cops. It doesnt make you feel too good. And you dont know whats going on. Now the man who has been named as a person of interest back in february, Montgomery County police named Lloyd Lee Welsh, 57 years old, a person of interest in the 39yearold disappearance of the lions sisters.

A tenyearold girl who was the daughter of his girlfriend. Hes in a delaware prison. He is there right now. He is scheduled for release in 2026. And hes actually seeking early release. Montgomery county police are here searching. We have no confirmation that in fact, they are searching in relationship to the lions case. Or anything related to welch. But we do know there is property here that is that used to be owned by his aunt and uncle. Now take a look at some of the pictures we have from this case that really shocked the washington, d. C. Metropolitan area. When sheila lion and her sister went for a walk, left their home, went to the wheaten plaza, and were never seen again. Their mother told them to be home at 4 00. They were just seen after 2 00 p. M. Never seen after that. Welch was named as a person of interest back in february. Police said that they had information that someone resembling welch was watching these children at the time. And from the start, they knew this duction, at first, they thought it was a run away and they knew somebody had been watching these girls and it has been recently they named welch as a person of interest and today, they are searching today.

When we come back, well speak to a woman who lost her mom that day and how she is coping with all that one year later. Another gorgeous evening. An average day, pretty close to average. Sometimes being average is good. Low was 66. Averages are 80 and 63. And records going down. 96 record high. 44 record low. Well come back and tell you how cool it will be. What that means for your morning commute and a cold front tomorrow night into thursday morning. Many of us remember the name of the navy yard shooter, but sadly, we forgotten the names of the 12 people who died that day. One survivor is hoping we talk less about the murder and focus more on the peoples lives he stole. Bruce leshan joins me live with more on that part of the story. Its Jessica Gardy who lost her mother, kathleen, here at the navy yard. When i talked to her earlier this week and i mentioned the killers name, she stopped me and she said, why is it that we always remember these tragedies in america by the name of the attacker and we dont focus on the victims . Well, not a day goes by that i dont notice shes not there or wish she was. Jessica gardy is left with only pictures of a mother who was filled with love. My mom. Thats my brother. Kathleen gardy adored. She was adventurous enough to strap into a parachute and jessica says after her rebellious teen years, their relationship was blossoming. We were finally in transitioning from that, where you get the friendship part. Kathleen gardy was e mailing with her husband from work when the killer started stalking the halls. A coworker saw him shoot her, but her family did not find out for hours. When you find out through rumor, before you find out officially. Kathleen gardy was months away from retirement. She dreamed of traveling with her husband, of raising orchids and of surveying bluebirds here at the National Wildlife refuge. How has the last year been for you . Piecing things together. I know, its kind of like trying to make things work even though theres a gaping hole. She does not use his name, but Jessica Gardy does not seem to bear malice for the troubled man who killed her mother. I think he was as much of a victim, Mental Health system is not what it needs to be. And a year later, she is not sure much has changed. Not the hole in her heart, nor her nagging fear that it could happen again. Jessica and her father tried a few months ago to pack up her mothers things in the closets in the house and they just broke down and could not do it. It is still just too painful. You know, you read some of the stories of the victims families and it reminds me a lot about what happened with seven. Some september 11. And we just, all we can say is we think about them and keep them in our prayers because we know that one year doesnt heal these wounds at all. Imagine, imagine, you know, how hard it would be to pack up your mothers things because she is gone. None of us want to think we will have to do that at all. Bruce, thank you. By the way, the ceremony to honor the victims and the survivors is continuing to go on. That is it for us here. Im lesli foster. Derek, ill send it back to you. Great job. Thank you so much. The move to a bit of a brighter note. Topper will be back in a minute or two. He has the forecast and tomorrow, you are going to e sh in cases of rape and incest, just like the rightwing republicans in congress. They want to overturn roe v. Wade. So does she. I think roe v. Wade should be overturned. Barbara comstock even voted with rightwing republicans to require women seeking an abortion to undergo transvaginal ultrasounds. Thats all i need to know. Im john foust and i approve this messge. Im topper shutt, gorgeous evening again. Looking at the national harbor. Live michael and son weather cam. Temperatures down to 77. Humidity down to 39 . That is some kind of nice and winds north, northwest at 14. So, another perfect evening, all be it cool. If youre going to go out tonight after sunset, temperatures will fall quickly. Dry air mass, cool off quickly. Bus stop temperatures, 52 to about 65. Thats about 6 00 a. M. To 9 00 a. M. For a time frame. The kids will need a sweatshirt and youll need a sweater and sunglasses. Were in a nice groove, just a weak cold front comes through tomorrow night. For the most part, stays with us all week. So tonight, clear to partly cloudy, cool again. Lows 52 to 62. Winds northeast at 5 to 10. By morning, mostly sunny. Cool start, 52 to 72. Still pretty nice. By afternoon, another great day. Partly cloudy and pleasant for wednesday. High temperatures around 75. Winds southeasterly at 10. Okay. Break this down. Low 60s to start. These are downtown temperatures. That means low 50s in the suburbs. Only 67 by 11 00. And 72 by 1 00. So, a fairly cool day tomorrow, but still spectacular. Nice on thursday. Maybe a sprinkle very early. I was hesitant to put that on there. 76. 99. 9 of thursday will be fine. And then a nice finish on friday. Temperature about 74 for a high. It will be a cool night to see high school football. Next seven days, partly cloudy on saturday, mid 70s. Warmer on sunday, ahead of a cold front. Shower or thunderstorm possible sunday night. Your daytime plans are fine and then low 70s by tuesday. A little bit cool early next week. Back with sports ri now, wusa9 game on sports i brought to you by xfinity. The Washington Redskins name debate moved to capitol hill and gaining steam. Senator Maria Cantwell is planning to introduce a bill that will remove the leagues tax exempt status because they havent forced Dan Schneider tore change the name. In a press conference, they will not stop their fight. They also had some rather harsh words for the nfl as a whole. The nfl is currently facing an integrity crisis. From failing to answer questions raised by former players with football related health problems, to questions about the leagues attitude towards its domestic violence. These are different issues. They are joined by a Common Thread of joining moral arrogance. Sent us in a statement, quote, our position remains consistent with more than 80 of americans who do not want to change the Washington Redskins name. Now, we also reached out to the nfl for comment. They have not responded to our request. The Nfl Players Association announced they will be filing an appeal later tonight to the league contesting the indefinite suspension of ray rice. Cbs sports, james brown, talked with Union Executive director today about why. When we look at facts and reach a determination that there are appropriate grounds to appeal any decision, any disciplinary decision, that is the role of the union. Thats the duty of the union. Public outrage, notwithstanding. Public outrage notwithstanding. A big and unique night for baseball. Both the Baltimore Orioles and the Washington Nationals could be popping those bottles of champagne in their respective clubhouses this evening. With a win tonight in atlanta, the Washington Nationals, for second in the last three years, for the Baltimore Orioles, a win over toronto, their first in 17 years and its their first at home since 1969. And the conversations about the beltway series begin. There we go. A lot more time left for all that. Thats all for 9news at 6 00. Stay with us for the cbs evening news up in Fairfax County we had to cut a lot of waste. We consolidated offices. Started sharing printers. We can walk a few feet. Replaced computers, but kept the monitors. They still work fine. Overcharged us by three Million Dollars i approve this message because congress doesnt need another right winger. They need someone who can balance a budget. Oh, and we definitely didnt need so many government studies. Pelley tonight, fire run wild. A California Community is devastated by a fastmoving wildfire. John blackstone is on the scene. Just days after the president said this we will not get dragged into another ground war in iraq. Pelley americas top military officer says this if we reached a point where i believe our advisers should accompany iraq troops on attacks against specific isil targets, ill recommend that to the president. Pelley reports from david martin and holly williams. Dean reynolds reports the president is sending troops to africa to fight ebola. And from elaine quijano, after a nineyearold accidentally killed her gun instructor, his children send her an extraordinary message. Were worried about you. We pray for you
