We did talk to some maryland representatives who were inside the capitol during that lockdown and they describe what it was like. I will tell you, you know, we feel very safe. The Capitol Police and sergeant of arms do a great job. We got on the floor giving them a standing ovation for the job they do. We knew we were safe. We were concerned its not good for the country to have an event like this. For our own personal safety we felt pretty safe. Coming out of the capitol and was leaving to go to my office.

It appears all around the capitol the security worked expectationly well. We had a very brief lockdown of the capitol and we were able to kind of locks things down and clear the event extremely quickly, keeping everybody safe, notifying everybody of what was going on and we actually cleared the scene rather quickly. As you know, we had a briefing probably within the hour of what was going on. We obviously are investigating the incident. Local Law Enforcement agencies and this appears to be isolated, singular matter. At this point no nexus to terrorism. And you have been listening to the Capitol Police chief ken dime and ed donovan with the secret service updating reportsers. We will have more on that later.

We will continue to update you on the investigation. And for updates right away and more images from the scene go to our website at cbsbaltimore. Com. Well, turning now to the weather. This beautiful, beautiful weather doesnt want to go away and we are happy about that. In annapolis a great day to take in the gorgeous sights and smells at a local flower mart. And in North Baltimore today people are having their workout outdoors. No need to go inside in the gym when the weather is this beautiful and warm. Lets take a live look outside right now. Cloudy skies with warm temperatures. Do the clouds mean we could see some rain tonight . Wjz first weather coverage tim williams is in Lake Ash Burton with the weather lab tracking a Tropical Storm that could impact maryland. But first bob is updating temperatures. A little cooler today than we saw yesterday by a couple of degrees. Right now were looking at 79 degrees here. 82 in d. C. With a little more sun down there. 72 ocean city and 76 up in oakland. And locally upper 70s to low 80s. We did cool down just a tad. Tomorrow it will warm up again as the winds go back to the southsouthwest. Temperatures again around 83, 84 degrees. But with more humidity in the air we might just see a shower or a thundershower. Kind of rare for october. Today we did get up to 83. Our normal is 71. The record a long way from that. 92 degrees way back in 1919. I think thats what it says. Yes. Now the mobile weather lab with a look at karen affecting eastern sections of the United States by next week. We definitely are watching karen. Two things that we have not had with all these nice warm summerlike temperatures are the humidity and rain. That may change as we go into next week and karen starts to make her way into the region. Karen is now about 400 miles south of the south portion of the Mississippi River and moving in our general direction by about 12 Miles Per Hour to the north and northwest. What that means for us is that this storm may get its act together and potentially go from a Tropical Storm to category 1 hurricane before making landfall somewhere around the gulf states down around louisiana and then starting to make its way into the midatlantic. All the models have it moving in our general direction. But what that also means for us is that its going to lose its punch. It will not keep its Tropical Storm characteristics by the time it gets here, but it will have all the rain. We will get the benefit of the rain. Its much needed. We will not get the destruction that a Tropical Storm brings because it will have lost much of that. We expect a few inches. We will keep you posted as it gets closer. We are talking about a midweek event. Maybe monday, into tuesday before we see it getting close. By wednesday it should be moving across the midatlantic. For now we are here at the wjz mobile weather lab at han lin park here at Lake Ash Burton. For now back to you. Tim and bob, thank you. It is the third day of the partial Government Shutdown and there are no signs of an end to the stalemate between democrats and republicans. Wjz has complete coverage of the Government Shutdown. Jessica kartalijaexplains how it is affecting medical patients who may not be able to participate in lifesaving trials. First, Danielle Nottingham continues to following the negotiations on capitol hill. Reporter president obama says the partial Government Shutdown could be ended today with a vote on a shortterm spending bill. But he says House Republicans wont let that happen. Speaker john boehner wont even let the bill get a yes or no vote because he doesnt want to anger the extremists in his party. Reporter president obama accuses Republican Leaders of giving in to Tea Party Members who are obsessed with stopping his healthcare reforms. We should sit down and have a discussion. But because there is an insistence on no negotiations, no talking, my way or the highway, we are here. Reporter House Republicans are taking a piecemeal approach to try to reopen parts of the government, passing bills to fund some agencies one at a time. Today they are pushing to pay National Guard troops. But Senate Democrats call that strategy an irrational ploy. A new cbs poll shows that more americans blame Congressional Republicans for the shutdown and that most americans want compromise. Many republicans acknowledge a bill to fund the full government without any Strings Attached would pass the house easily if Republican Leaders allow the vote. The shutdown has put some 800,000 federal workers on unpaid leave. It has closed national parks, government websites and office buildings. In addition to the shutdown, there is another budget crisis looming. Two weeks from now the u. S. Government will run out of cash to pay its bills unless Congress Agrees to raise the debt ceiling. On capitol hill Danielle Nottingham. The Navy Football game against the air force academy is on this weekend and that is because it is not funded by the government but all other Service Academy sports remain on hold. Our complete coverage continues now. Every week hundreds of patients, including children, are admitted to new Clinical Trials at the National Institutes of health. Now many are losing hope as the Government Shutdown continues. Eyewitness news Jessica Kartalija has more on that. Reporter denise, we are talking about some 200 new patients admitted each week. Of those 30 are children. Of those, about 10 of them on average have cancer. 8yearold mattie doesnt look sick at all, but this week her leukemia came back for the fourth time. I hate it. Reporter but her mother, robin major, has reason to. The Clinical Trial she needs could not be approved by the fda because the fda has been shut down with the rest of the federal government. I am completely blown away by how callous and how carelessly they have just kind of used us as their pawns to push their own agenda. Reporter she says matties cancer is curable in 90 of the cases. Her daughter is in that 10 category. Six months ago she went through a Clinical Trial that worked because of her relapse she is scheduled to have it again. Now its in the air. Formatty this is truly life or death. This isnt a game. This isnt pushing one ideology over another. This is my babys life. Reporter sick people hoping to join Clinical Trials at nih are now being turned away because threequarters of all nih employees are being furloughed. Those already enrolled in Clinical Trials will still receive care. The lab animals at nih are being taken care of. But if you have pediatric cancer, you arent. I would hope we would agree that they should be. While they act like children, they should take a cue from my child and act like her because she is 8, but she is showing maturity way beyond any of them. Love. I only answer to love. Reporter now, ironically mattie and her family were on capitol hill just two weeks ago urging lawmakers to provide more funding for pediatric cancer research. Jessica kartalija, wjz Eyewitness News.
