loss drops the skins to 1-2. next up the buckaneers. winless on the season. a little later we will break down the game more and much more reaction from the locker room. >> thank you. what are the fans saying tonight about the loss today? >> honestly? i'm a true redskins fan but our quarterback i feel like is lacking on our plays. >> why not one today. you know what i mean? >> it is bad penalties. it is lack of execution at critical times. >> see next game. it will be better. >> they need to get rid of the staff and get guys that want to win. >> i think zorn as well as campbell. i'm wearing his

lives if not serious injury. >> reporter: electric was immediately shut off but when they tried to turn off gas meters it did not help. they believe gas leaked in from the outside. >> i don't think it is the shopping center itself i think it is the infrastructure that services this shopping center. >> reporter: it is a scenario he has seen before. >> again we are very early into this incident but it sounds like the same exact set of circumstances is occurring now as it did in may. >> reporter: just the thought of another gas leak in this area is turning customers away from nearby stores that remain open. >> i don't know, i'm kind of scared now because now my heart is racing because i'm not sure if i want to go in the store. i think i'm going to go home. >> i would say i'm a little
