we have an issue on the westbound side just west of route 123. that was blocking the shoulder. not causing much of in the way of delays but if you're travel inbound going through centreville and going through fairfax no issues getting into the beltway. and obviously into town. from our maryland camera we get a better sense of how things are on 270 here at tuckerman lane. noishes and you can see all -- no issues and you can see all traffic froing fleely. -- flowing freely. we are live at takoma park where police are investigating one man shot here at the econo lodge. i'm going to step out of the

people disperring quickly -- dispersing quickly. just a few minutes later they got a call a man was at a nearby hospital with a gunshot wound. police tell us that man was shot in the torso. he has non-life-threatening injuries and expected to be just fine. as far as what led to this shooting, police say that there was a large party here and there were two groups one from prince george's county

but this is more than just a d.c. problem. the synthetic drugs have been so popular and so accessible that they are becoming major problems around the region. the ha louis inogens go by k2, spice, or scooby snacks and they cannot be detected by a drug test. arlington police deputy chief dan murray says a high person on synthetic drugs or fake marijuana can seem out of control. >> it takes you know multiple fairly large fairly strong police officers to be able to control somebody who is not feeling any pain. and who has this superhuman strength that's some way shape or form substance induced. >>
