He then jumped out of his truck waving what would turn out to be a pellet gun in one hand and a paintball gun in the other, shouting allah akbar, which is god is great in arabic. Heres the truck. Investigators say he rented it earlier today in new jersey and then drove it into manhattan to commit his crime. This is the first terror attack using a vehicle on u. S. Soil since terror groups started urging their followers to use vehicles as the suspects name is sayfullo saipov. He is an immigrant from uzbekistan. That led President Trump to order Homeland Security to stepping what he calls the extreme vetting program. The president tweeted, being politically correct is fine, but not for.

The civil war is trending on twitter, seriously, all because white house chief of staff john kellie called robert e. Lee an honorable man, and he said it was a lack of ability to compromise that led to the war itself. His story is described as strange and kind of depressing, but that didnt stop the white house. Theres pretty strong consensus, family from the left, the right, the north, and the south that believe that if some of the individuals engaged had been willing to come to some compromises on different things, than it may not have occurred. One of our missions on the news at 11 00 john henry did that for us at the africanamerican Civil War Museum. Reporter the civil war happened about 150 years ago, yet its still dominating discussion today thanks in part to this fox news interview. I would tell you that robert e. Lee was an honorable man. The lack of an ability to compromise led to the civil war. The founding director of the africanamerican Civil War Museum weighed in on those comments. He said he took exception to the idea that confederate general lee was honorable. The difference i think that explains robert e. Lee and George Washington is they were fired on, the american flag. He never killed a bunch of american soldiers, he never fought against the United States of america. Reporter the director added there was only one result that would have come from compromise. Any compromise that would have come about would have had to involve allo lets face it, by the time the civil war started, the north had given up on slavery. Reporter in the end he says the Confederate States and their leaders could not forget that the civil war was about slavery. Reporter another perspective on the war a century 1 2 later. Thank you.

Reporter torhonda cole and her friend came across this cringe worthy video on facebook. Crawlers worming their way in and out of these chocolates. They asked us to verify. Are there really worms in our favorite chocolates . Reporter our verify team tracked down the woman who shot that viral post. Rachel you heard right. She said she bought the candy but her roommate stopped her. She says dont eat that. And i said why, and she said she found a maggot in each candy. We went to the Candy Company. A representative told us once the chocolate leaves their facility if its not stored properly, critters can make their way inside. We contacted the smithsonian institutes etymology department. He loves to talk about bugs, and bugs clearly love him. He backed up the Candy Company saying if products arent stored properly after they leave the manufacturer, insects can get in. So thats a big old worm ridden videos are real. Not maggots, but she still received a 25 gift card and an apology. It was a horror film that was the first of its kind and most of it was shot in Montgomery County 20 years ago. What was it . Think about it. Well share the answer with you right before d.

How young is too young to get married . In some states kids who arent even in high school can say i do. Lawmakers say the laws are out of date and it is time to make a big change. Heres our special assignment reporter whitney wild. Reporter these are just a few of the faces of teen marriage. 5300 kids got married as young as 15 in maryland from 1995 through 2015. So we spoke with the people who live teen marriage. The lawmakers who want to ban it, and the questions every time he hears a teenager say i do. Youve got to be gentle. These are the moments that keep Brittney Miller from dissolving into darkness. Can you show me your ears . Yep, ears. Im a little more hopeful now, and once you get to the lowest point, you can only go up, right . Reporter brittney is raising her daughter and son alone in annapolis. She was married at 17. Her husband was 18. I was happy at the time. I didnt think anything could go wrong. But i was mistaken. Reporter two years later shes getting divorced. We began to argue a lot, and it seemed like we just didnt know each other any more. Reporter her voice is on one side of the debate about the right age to get married. On the other side debate . We knew each other in school. Reporter you might meet this couple in damascus. I proposed three or four times. Youre twiddling your thumbs constantly. Thats when i get nervous. Reporter they are two love struck teens who stayed that way. What does that dress mean to you . A lot. Thats our great grandson. Reporter five children, 11 grandchildren, and two great grandchildren later its clear nothing has cracked their bond. I kind of like hanging out with her, still. Reporter let me explain why teen marriage can be so controversial. Brittney and her husband and sharon and douglas, they were all about the same age when they got married. But thats not always th child sex assault laws are supposed to stop these relationships with huge age gaps. When a 15yearold starts having sex with someone who is at least four years older, thats a crime in maryland. The adults in those relationships are supposed to end up in criminal court. But because theyre getting married, they wind up here in a wedding chapel, walking down the aisle in a tux instead of a jump suit. In anne arundel county, the man signing those marriage licenses is robert duckworth. That was surprising to me that people that young could come to the courthouse and get married. Reporter hes dedicated to the law even when he questions it. We dont want to be part of the process when someone is exploiting the law. Do you worry . Knife at times. Reporter would you have let your kids get married under 18 . No, i wouldnt. Reporter why . Too young. Reporter 5300 kids got married in maryland from 1995 through 2015. In that time, a 15yearold girl married a man who was at least 40. A 16yearold girl married a man who was at least 50, and a 17yearold girl married a man who was at least 45 years old. Those are just a few cases. Some maryland legislators want to change that. Delegate Vanessa Atterbury and state senator will smith. Im 35, and when you think about someone 35 potentially marrying someone 15, its a little disturbing. Reporter they brought bills this last session to raise the minimum marriage age. It results in early divorce rates and skyhigh dropout rates. Advocate says banning marriage turned 18 is a bad idea. She wouldnt talk to us on camera but she did point us to her oral testimony during hearings when she testified against these bills. She said banning marriage under the age of 18 takes away options for teenagers. Similarly, a blanket ban of marriage ignores that some women are choosing marriage for a variety of reasons that might benefit them and their families. Reporter the bills failed. Its not the end of the story. Attarbury says the bills will come back. For this couple, teen marriage has been a treasure. I think its just worked because we love each other. Reporter for brittney, its been an obstacle she is still trying to overcome. Everything that ive been put through because of the one word, marriage. You kissed a prince. Reporter it kind of kills the soul a little bit. Reporter an that tracks Child Marriage laws says no state has an allout ban. We will follow any other attempts by maryland lawmakers to try to raise the age again. Whitney wild, wusa9. And we have a breakdown of marriage age laws in virginia and d. C. Posted on our wusa 9 website and our mobile app right now. So, real quick, we asked you earlier if you remember which horror movie was filmed in Montgomery County. Can you take that shot . You see him waving his hand in the air . The answer is the blair witch project which was filmed in gaithersburg. You knew it. Weve talked about it. I have actually never watched it because i heard people say its so shaky that they kind of got nauseous. Sc 3degree guarantee. Not scary at all. We might have a bullseye today. Very close. Went with 62, and we were 63, which, by the way, is almost spot on average. We close the book on october, the third warmest on record. We had no days with haze in the 50s. We had eight days in the 60s. We had 17 days in the 70s. And we had six days in the 80s. Almost the same number of days in 80s as the 60s. That is one warm month. We start november on a cool, somewhat damp note. Right now its 50. Dew points are in the upper 30s. Temperatures are falling in the burbs already. It will be chilly in the morning. It will be dry. The exception could be cumberland west. You could have a shower by 8 00. A lot of clouds tomorrow but not much bite to the bark, so to speak. Milder and nice warmer on saturday. I tell you what, if we get the temperatures in the mid70s on friday i think thats a fair trade. Mainly above average. 61 tomorrow, 72 thursday, 74 friday. Mid60s on saturday. I did put a drop back in on sunday. So early in the morning on wednesday, 6 00, a lot of clouds. A couple of sprinkles. Theres your sprinkle. 36 degrees. Only 46 downtown. But if we go through the morning, 50 downtown, but not much happens. A little bit of shower activity along the maryland pennsylvania border with temperatures in the 40s. And that is just about it. Kind of a dreary start, if you will, for november. Day planner. 40s to start. 56 by 11 00. 62 by 1 00. Now, on thursday, morning clouds, then really nice. 72. Friday, afternoon clouds, but really nice until then. 74. Next seven days. We have the heart walk on saturday. Mr. Bernstein will be leading the charge there. Nice day. Sunday, maybe a shower.

Wrong for virginia. Now, wusa9 sports with darren haynes, brought to you by xfinity. All right. Here is what is on my mind tonight. Colin kaepernicks lawyer expects him to sign a contract within 10 days. He filed a grievance against the nfl because he feels like he is being black bald because of protests. I believe if his legal team didnt have strong evidence of collusion, he wouldnt make that connection. Someone needs to disprove that. One team that needs a quarterback, the patriots. Yeah, i said it. Because after tom brady, they have no quarterbacks roster, period. Lets move over here. How about in the hip pop world . Usually you tip your 40 to remember a lost home homie.
