horror stories. we haven't used those up yet? >> reporter: no, we haven't, derek. we are on the rockville silver spring line where pepco crews have come and gone without restoring power. in fact, workers told the residents they might be back later tonight. now for everyone who thought that underground lines that we've talked so much about, that they might be the silver bullet, you'll want to consider the north potomac neighborhood of convince orchard knolls -- of quince orchard knolls. there the lines are underground and there is no visible sign of damage, yet their pavers not restored until a couple -- power was not restored until a couple of hours ago. >> today was enough. i just was done today and have been very emotional the whole day, crying and happy and we keep hearing a crew has been here but then a crew is not here and then the wrong crew is here. >> reporter: after seven agonizing days the power returned to this neighborhood, confidence in pepco did not. >> i explained to them i'm diabetic. i've had to get dry ice three times. i don't want to lose my insulin, but the amount of money i've spent on the dry ice is about the cost of the insulin. so we just wish that they would be honest with us. >> reporter: it has been a commodify roars here starting with the -- comedy of errors here starting with the first pepco crew to arrive two days ago. >> good old boy from georgia was here to survey the damage. oh, they didn't tell me it was underground. so he left. >> reporter: yesterday it happened again. >> four trucks of contractors showed up, walked up and down the street, walked all through the neighbor, spent about an hour and a half here and they said we can't do anything. we're overhead people. >> reporter: then another crew came and said it was simply a blown fuse, but they needed to request another crew for that. >> we're going to get a generator for the next time we have to. i mean just to salvage some of our food. >> reporter: tonight the immediate joy of having power back is quickly followed by dread that another storm is just around the corner. >> i don't know what we're going to do. it's just overwhelming. i feel overwhelmed. >> reporter: and once again no one seems to have any beef with those 1,900 field crews, the utility workers from across the country who are trying to restore power. as anny hong just reported, it is really dangerously hot out here. now coming up at 6:00 we'll show you some random acts of kindness that have helped sustain neighborhoods like this one as well as quince orchard knolls and we will talk to some more folks who are in that unenviable position of being in the last 1%. back to you. >> andrea, did we get any explanation from pepco why this neighborhood is so had to fix? >> reporter: i have not been able to speak -- so hard to fix? >> reporter: i have not been able to speak to any of the crews, but again there's sort of that overwhelming feeling of sadness and desparation. the last estimated restoration time these residents have been given is sunday night at 11 p.m. >> oh. >> reporter: we haven't heard anything beyond that, but it's so hot out here and again the people have been incredibly kind letting us into their hot homes when we need to seek refuge, but it's just extraordinarily hot out here. i think i've been in the sun too long. i'm having a hard time speaking. >> andrea mccarren, thank you. shots, tased, beaten with police batons and still the apparently pcpaddled gunman kept going stealing a police car and crashing into a wall it. finally took a dozen police officers to subdue suspect andre mccoy. after that he's now in good condition in the hospital. >> this last time i think he smoked some pcp. >> reporter: antwonette harris did her best to stay calm as her 21-year-old son was going crazy. >> does he still have the gun in his hands? >> yes. >> can you see it? >> reporter: the 911 call from the house here, the is of arrives within seconds -- the officer arrives within seconds, pulls out his shotgun in the parking lot here and just then mccoy comes out, a .40 caliber handgun in his own mom's back. mom sees the officer, runs for it and then mccoy engages in a kind of running gunbattle with the officer here who shoots him with the shotgun but mccoy keeps going, runs around the block there. >> oh, my god. >> holy [ bleep ] >> reporter: university maryland students were upstairs videotaping the whole thing on abe phone. >> the police officer was standing at the door with his guns drawn. >> we have our second discharge of firearms. >> reporter: police chief kevin davis says neither gunshots nor tasers nor police batons seemed to stop mccoy. >> at location no. 4 and takes his pants off. it's common for folks under the influence of pcp to disrobe. >> reporter: he tried and failed to escape in one police cruiser and then jumped in a second. he finally crashed into a brick wall at a mcdonald's just a block up from the university of maryland's north gate which is where eight to 10 police officers finally subdued him. >> our only indication right now is that all our officers acted courageously and bravely. they were confronted by a crazed gunman who chose to be under the influence of pcp and shot at a prince george's county police officer. >> reporter: just as heroic, the mom who somehow stayed calm throughout. >> he was shooting at them and they were shooting at him. >> reporter: bruce leshan, 9 news now. >> what an odyssey. authorities charged mccoy with attempted murder of a police officer, first degree assault, use of a handgun in a felony and malicious destruction of property. tonight we've got new information about that 12-year- old ft. washington boy accused of killing a 2-year-old little girl who lived in the same home with him. maryland's department of human resources is reviewing this case to make sure the rules were followed when they placed the foster child, the 2-year- old, in that home last november. our own kristin fisher has been following this story since it broke yesterday. you're telling me this is not a family anybody expected something like this to happen to. >> not at all, far from it. in fact, actually spoke with the little girl's biological grandmother this morning. she's obviously very upset. she didn't want to talk on camera, but she did tell me she was really very fond of this foster family. she said she'd met the parents on several occasions and really liked them. in the eight months that her granddaughter was living in the home she'd never met their 12- year-old biological son. >> prince george's county police homicide detective charged a 12-year-old boy last night with second degree murder. >> reporter: when police broke the news yesterday afternoon, the boy's friends where he lived on taylor avenue say they couldn't believe it. their parents wouldn't let them talk to camera, but they told me he was known as the nicest kid on the block, never got in a fight and they certainly didn't think he was capable of killing a little girl, but prince george's county police think otherwise. >> detectives developed probable cause to charge the boy based on interviews conducted with the family. >> reporter: police say the boy beat her repeatedly inside this home while his parents were away. they'd left their 15-year-old daughter in charge. what would drive a 12-year-old to do such a thing? >> i can't speak to a motive. >> reporter: police can't say much because the suspect's a juvenile and the state agency in charge of foster children won't comment citing privacy except to say we will be closely reviewing our case records. all potential foster families must undergo a thorough home study process. that process includes background checks, family observations, interviews with all family members and references including references from schools on all children in the home. that should have been done in this case. was it? we'll have to wait to find out. either way what happened is rare anywhere, but especially in this county. >> the last time a preteen had been charged with murder in prince george's county was in 2006. >> now this 12-year-old is being held at a youth facility and for now he's going to be charged as a juvenile, but police say that could change because in the state of maryland a juvenile judge can decide to try a 12-year-old as an adult if the crime warrants it. >> it also has to do with the kid's past, right? he has to have some perhaps criminal acts in his past and this young man does not have that. >> at this point in time neither police from what i've been told, nobody has found any sort of criminal history in this 12-year-old's past which makes this alleged crime all the more confusing. >> thank you. back to you, anita. investigators are trying to find the cause of a fire that destroyed a woodbridge, virginia apartment complex. the fire broke out on the top floor of the woodbridge station apartments on eisenhower circle last night. flames spread to an adjoining building before being brought under control. no one was seriously hurt, but three firefighters were treated for heat-heated illnesses. about 100 tenants are having to stay someplace else. we'll have a live report from the complex coming up on 9 news now at 6:00. coming up next new jobs figures force president obama to defend his handling of the economy. we'll be joined live by the host of face the nation bob schieffer. >> the dangerous heat gets worse, then get ready for the possibility of some dangerous storms after that. i'll have your forecast coming up. >> but up next the neighborhood watch volunteer charged with killing an unarmed teen walks out of jail for the second time. d grade dark roast forest fresh full tank brain freeze cake donettes rolling hot dogs bag of ice anti-freeze wash and dry diesel self-serve fix a flat jumper cables 5% cashback signup for 5% cashback at gas stations through september. it pays to discover. the man charged with killing trayvon martin is out of jail tonight. this is less than 24 hours after a florida judge set bond for george zimmerman at $1 million. zimmerman's previous bond was revoked after prosecutors presented evidence the neighborhood watch volunteer lied about the state of his finances. earlier trayvon martin's mother sybrina fulton spoke out about the judge's decision saying the possibility that her son's killer may walk free one day really hurts. this extremely hot weather has organizations that run day camps especially concerned. the fairfax county park authority runs more than 100 different camps for thousands of children and the staff have guidelines to keep the kids safe. our peggy fox has more from one of the county's newest parks. >> reporter: if you've got littles and i want to enjoy the summer -- and want to enjoy the summer, what could be better than this, fairfax county's new spray park. it is free and fun, but a power outage next-door at the lee district rec center caused a major scramble for campers. this lacrosse camp and three others run by fairfax county park authority are supposed to be at the lee district rec center, but a worn out power cable, not the bad storm, sent the facility into darkness and set off a quick change of plans. >> they scrambled, got the school. the school has been amazing helping us out. >> reporter: the kids were borised to forestdale elementary -- were bussed to forestdale elementary in springfield where the kids could use the gym and the lacrosse camp could use the field, but the hot sun and high temperatures this week have posed a danger for anybody outside, especially those not used to it. >> it's really hot out here, especially play lag cross. it can be really tire -- playing lacrosse it. can be really tiring. >> reporter: the coach jason jeffries tells the campers to take water breaks whenever they need to and they go inside part of the day. >> you do worry, but we take plenty of water breaks. the kids are very good about telling us when they're tired and need a break. >> reporter: have you ever said coach, i need to get in the shade? >> yeah, like every day. >> reporter: really? >> yeah. >> reporter: just go in the shade, go inside? >> yeah. >> reporter: if you're wondering why the kids aren't wearing shoes, that's how american indians played the sport. >> they liked the land. it was a survival of the fittest pretty much. >> reporter: that's why you're barefoot. >> yes. we're replaying it. >> reporter: but if you think having the shoes on is cooler on this field, you're wrong. >> definitely makes me run faster to get the ball? >> reporter: oh, really? >> yeah. just like really eager to get my feet off the hot grass. it's hop and it's really brutal weather, but -- hot and it's really brutal weather, but as long as i'm sweating, i'm still alive. >> reporter: the power is back on now at the lee district rec center and barring any more storms this weekend, next week campers should be good to go. the latest unemployment numbers have president obama on the defensive this evening. the labor department says only 80,000 new jobs were created in june and that leaves the unemployment rate stuck at 8.2%. the president's republican challenger mitt romney says those job numbers are actually worse than that for a lot of americans. however, the white house says despite the report the economy is still growing. >> the president's policies have not gotten america working again and the president is going to have to stand up and take responsibility for. >> i've got a different idea, by building not from the top down but from the middle class up. >> the president wrapped up that bus tour to ohio and pennsylvania today, two states that helped him win back in 2008. romney right now is vacationing in new hampshire. two of the highest ranking senators on both sides of the aisle will be this week's guests on sunday's face the nation, arizona republican john mccain and illinois democrat dick durbin. joining us now live is the host, cbs' bob schieffer. romney jumped right on the latest unemployment numbers calling them a kick in the gut attacking the president's current neck policies saying it's time for a change -- current economic policies saying it's time for a change. >> no surprise there and you know what? the numbers that come out in october will be even more important than the ones that came out today, anita. this election no matter the other issues that come and go along the way is still going to wind up being about the shape of the economy and getting people back to work. if it's good, that's going to mean advantage obama. if those numbers are bad, it's going to mean advantage romney. this one is still too close to call. there will be ups and downs, but one constant we know about, it's going to be mostly about the economy. >> now the president is just wrapping up that visit to key battleground state and the republicans were right behind him shadowing each stop. how crucial is this leg of the campaign for undecided voters? >> well, no republican has ever won the white house without carrying ohio. so that's how close it is and we know that the race is very, very close out there. i think the last polls i saw had the president slightly ahead in ohio, but not enough ahead that he can even feel good about it. he's got to keep working it. this is going to be like it was in '84 and in 1980. you're going to see these candidates going to ohio more than they sleep in their own beds at night. it's going to be very, very crucial. >> it sure is. things are just heating up, as you said and we're not talking about the weather. bob, wool look forward to this sunday. thanks so -- we'll look forward to this sunday. thanks so much. >> we are talking about the weather, too just for heating up. >> bob schieffer, we'll see you 10:30 sunday morning on wusa9. >> thank you. we, too are talking about the weather. in fact, it's so hot out there today i'm having a bad hair day. it's getting rough. it's going to get rougher. >> it is, yes. tomorrow even a worse hair day for you, derek. so maybe -- what would you do? >> get a wet rag? i don't know. >> all right. so we're talking dangerous heat tomorrow. right now temperatures, check out these numbers. you think it's hot here? normally miami is hotter, maybe house orange but we're actually hotter than they are and temperatures -- houston, but we're actually hotter than they are. temperatures will heat up very quickly tomorrow. we're under an excessive heat warning for saturday 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. for the entire d.c. metro area. we still have a heat advisory in our area tonight until 8:00. just how hot is it? you factor the temperature and humidity, it feels like 100 in fredericksburg, tappahannock 102, manassas 100, leesburg 103 and winchester is cooking at 102, cumberland 102 and almost up to the 100-degree markdown town for the heat index. our live weather cam brought to you by michael and son, nice shot of the white house, hopefully they've got some really good air conditioning. temperature at reagan national 98, sunny skies, dew points the lower 60s, winds not going to help us out. the radar is showing us quiet tonight, maybe a stray storm. now right now temperatures also really cooking in parts of the midwest and the south. look at kansas city at 103, st. louis and little rock all at 105. so we're all dealing with the heat. now storms above this ridge of high pressure like bismarck and also the upper midwest are dealing with more stormy conditions, but we are also going to see stormy conditions after tomorrow's heat in the form of some storms and maybe some damaging wind gusts sunday. so even hotter for saturday. then get ready for some storms. heat advisory for us until 8:00. saturday we elevate it to excessive heat warning, record highs likely. sunday is still hot, but then afternoon, evening thunderstorms arrive. we've declared tomorrow and sunday a severe weather alert day. our 9 futurecast and show you the mid-atlantic view to give you an idea how things look, saturday not worried about storms. it is excessive heat we're concerned about which is why we declared it a severe weather alert day and then sunday we'll see more clouds come in. it will still be hot but then we'll see the afternoon showers and storms arriving because of a cold front sinking from the north heading to the south. so i think some of those storms could be strong or severe. here's your forecast for saturday. it is code red alert because of the record heat, 104 the high, maybe a stray storm. sunday red alert because of the big storms, high upper 90s, scattered showers and storms and monday yellow alert because of showers but cooler, mid-80s. here's your next seven days. so both saturday and sunday ware alert days because of the heat for saturday and sunday for the potential big storms, cooler for monday and tuesday and a little unsettled. i don't think it will be wet all week next week. we have a chance for scattered showers and storms daily starting monday and the relief is there. so just keep checking back with us as we'll update the models and let you know how things are turning out for sunday's storms. >> busy weekend in the weather department. we've got breaking news. check this out. this is sky 9 over the west hyattsville metro station. metro tells us there is the possibility of a train derailment on the green line. metro says that train was carrying passengers, but they've got no reports of injuries. we'll be on this story and have the latest as soon as we get it, possible train derailment in west hyattsville metro station. coming up a live news report interrupted. see how a cat stole the show. >> up next you need a hug?
