Investigators have identified the mother of this little newborn girl. We thought shed been abandoned in a beltsville yard on wednesday. Thanks for being here. Im derek mcginty. The story has changed a bit. Im lesli foster. Debra alfarone is live at Police Headquarters with the latest developments. What do we know about the mother . Reporter we know the Mother Told Police she was overwhelmed, but i want to be clear that baby was never abandoned. That baby was never in danger. The mom simply said to police that she was overwhelmed and told them that she basically lied and found the baby in the backyard when in all reality apparently she gave birth to that baby inside that beltsville home. The good news, of course, is the baby is okay. The baby is still in child protective custody. Police say the woman who called 911 is actually the little girls mom. She questioned her yesterday. Today she came clean and told them the little girl is hers. They say shes getting the help she needs. She will not face charges and heres why. In maryland theres a safe haven law where essentially any parent can relinquish their child or responsible adult within the first 10 days of the ion or hospital. So again in this case she sort of surreptitiously gets to that point and obviously we wish she was more forth coming in the initial call, but our position here is not to vilify this woman. We just couldnt be more happy that both she and the child are doing well and we figured out who the birth mother is and we search warrant still searching and happy the child is not in a home with someone who doesnt want her. Reporter the story resonated with so many people it was the most shared story on facebook and many people came out saying she wanted to possibly foster this baby or adopt her. At this point that baby is still in custody and police say at this point the department of social services will take it from here. What that means still remains to be unseen. Well keep following this. For now live at Prince Georges County Police Headquarters, debra alfarone, wusa9. If theres any good news, its that that baby is okay. A bizarre twist in court today in the case involving a mother accused of abducting her two children. Catherine hoggle told her family that she could lead investigators to the children. Her family contacted police who attempted to get an emergency custody of hoggle so she could do that, but the judge said no. Police and volunteers have spent weeks searching for 3 yearold sarah and 2yearold jacob with no luck. An update now on the breaking news we first brought you on wusa9 news at 5 00. Prince William County police tell us one person was wounded in a shooting outside the wal mart in woodbridge. A man was smashing jewelry cases with a hammer. Then he ran off. An offduty cop followed him into the parking lot. When the suspect ignored the officers command, that officer opened fire, not sure of that mans condition. The victim of that caught on tape abduction in philly is safe at home tonight, but the guy accused of abducting her has a rap sheet thats pretty horrific. Police in Charles City County near richmond say Delven Barnes was accused of assaulting another girl. He brought my baby home. Thank you. Brought her right home. Good job. [ applause ] now barnes told a judge in towson, maryland, today he would not fight extradition on that attack on the teenager.

Ed gillespie has not conceded to mark warner even though warner has about a 17,000 vote lead. Thats because the margin is less than 1 which means gillespie could ask for a recount, but as peggy fox reports, warner says a recount could be unprecedented. Reporter senator mark warner makes the rounds at a fairfax Leadership Event two days after a stunning close call. I feel very good at this point. Its 16,000ish, somewhere in that range. Reporter he said he hasnt talked to his challenger who was not made available for interviews today. Do you have any comment if he does request a recount . That will be up to him. It would be unprecedented in virginia history. Reporter warner said the narrow win taught him to never take anything for granted. George mason political analyst jeremy mayer says warner distanced himself too much from the president. Warner acted like being accused of being close to obama was a crime and he looked very guilty. Im going to stay focused on getting our Balance Sheet right, not leaving our kids with 17 trillion in debt. Reporter while senator mark warner pledges to reach across the aisle to get things done, some conflicts in congress may be beyond his reach. If the key divide in the senate is between democrats and republicans, mark warner will be a key player, but i think the key confide is going to be between mcconnell and ted cruz, that its going to be a republican civil war about whether we do anything or nothing. Reporter mayer says the memory of eric cantors primary loss after he opened the door of Immigration Reform will keep republicans from working together. Warner vows to get things done by being a disrupter. Do we end up with a full budget solution that would have avoided the stupidity of sequestration . No. If we dont act, thats going to meco rushing back and have a devastating effect on virginia next year. Reporter in fairfax, peggy fox, wusa9. Vote canvassing continues through friday. The state board of elections will certify the results by notice of 24th and only after that can gillespie request a recount. Were looking at some showers pushing off to the east. Well show you radar.

The ray rice appeal ended today. Lets just say some of the things that were said not good for the league. The nfl office is taking cover after Ozzie Newsome speaks now wusa9 game on sports with dave owens brought to you by xfinity. Days like this make the top brass at the nfl offices go oh, boy.

Multiple sources say newsom told judge Barbara Jones he heard rice tell the commissioner that he hit his wife in the elevator.

He was injured against the bengals a few weeks ago, so the news not good for baltimore. I got some good news. They lost two straight, but dreadful tennessee coming to town. That will do good for you.

Weve got to stay aggressive at the same time. Weve been doing some things thats been shooting ourselves in the foot.

Heres a good sign, laich back on the ice battling an injured shoulder out since late october. The hope is laich will like the way his shoulder feels and get back on the ice this weekend. Were starting to fall back from the pack a little bit. Its time to win some hockey games. Im only looking at tomorrows game but yes, certainly i feel good enough to keep going.

Game of the week is out in fairfax, jeb stewart versus falls church. The bell is actually from a u. S. Navy warship.
