from the philippines. they helped for the past 25 years as the transportation director at the council of government. the police chief said they don't think that there is a crazed gunman on out there, but they would not call it targeted. they've taken out search warrants, but they have no person of interest yet. and that someone was killed in their home. families, they are investigated as well in terms of strangers and possibilities as well. he contributed so much. i mean the bridge and the metro rail funding, that none of those things would have happened. >> reporter: the shooting death is quite the mystery. and another strange thing about this. when the shots were fired, it

seems like few, if any of the neighbors heard them. on monday he called it an ano , ma'am lee. asking people that may have had some information or may have seen something unusual to come forward as the phone number is 703-746-6711. i'm peggy fox reporting live from alexandria. wusa9.com. we fumbled the rollout. >> under pressure from the angry voters. president obama is now making a change to the affordable care act. if you like your current plan, you can keep it for another year. danielle nottingham reports from capitol hill. >> reporter: for nearly $5 million -- for nearly five million americans, the white house has a fix. >> i said that i would do everything we could to fix this problem and today i'm offering an idea to help do it. >> reporter: the white house is giving insurance companies the option to keep offering plans

that would have otherwise been canceled through 2014. providers, they will also have to make clear what the plans do not include. to let consumers know what other new options are available in the federal exchanges. >> this fix will not solve any pro-- every problem for every person. but it will help a lot of people. >> reporter: president obama spoke and took questions for nearly an hour. taking blame for the problem. >> we fumbled the rollout. >> the white house policy change will come as the house republicans move to provide their own fix. >> the only way to fully protect the american people is to scrap this law once and for all. >> reporter: speaker john boehner will introduce the legislation on friday, allowing them to keep their current insurance plans permanently. not just for one year. danielle nottingham, cbs news, capitol hill. >> as for the state-run exchanges, the white house left that decision on up to the individual state insurance commissioners to make the call

on whether people could keep their old policies. another white house embarrassment. this time the secret service. that there is still nothing on the record for the secret service transfer on two supervisors. they are under investigation for the possible sexual misconduct. and at least one expert said that it is a part of the management structure. bruce leshan is here with yet another black mark there, bruce? >> reporter: you got it, they report not yet on out of the secret service prostitution scandal. they tell me that these are clear signs of the agency needing a management shake up. >> reporter: the two supervisors were on the most prestigious detail overseeing agents who protect the president. and now the washington post reports that they have both been transferred out. >> the white house is just

across the street from the area. which it was here in the off- the-record bar. he was off duty that he met this woman, hung out with her at some point in the course of the evening. went upstairs to her room. >> this starts off as a conversation that you have had too much to drink, maybe you're not good to drive home. well you can stay up here. >> reporter: the round in the chamber if they are sleeping in a room with someone they do not know. but the woman ordered them out in the middle of the night. as he forgot what was -- the round in the chamber. she wouldn't let him back in to get it. >> right now they're looking as to whether or not this was misconduct or embarrassing. >> reporter: as investigators went through the cell phone, they say that they found sexually suggestive e-mails from both him and another supervisor.

to a female. >> it's a symptom of a lax management. >> reporter: ron is the author of the best selling behind-the- scenes secret service. agents caught with prostitutes in their hotel room in columbia while preparing for a visit by the president. and the crash, they could all be traced back to bad management. and to say hey, you know, they are cutting corners. why shouldn't i do what i want? >> reporter: kessler says that they should have fired both the previous and the current secret service directors for cutting corners. no comment today from the secret service. reporting live, bruce leshan, wusa9. >> bruce, thanks. we turn to the growing destination from the philippines. workers have begun to collect the bodies of the typhoon haiyan victims. most have yet to be identified.

u.s. soldiers are on the ground in some of the heartest hit areas. and they have arrived, helping to deliver desperately needed aide. because of this big fire, the town was evacuated. it erupted into flames south of dallas. deputies had to go door to door in milford, texas, telling residence to get out. it happened at a drill site when crews punctured a pipeline. circuit court judges in montgomery county have some work to do when it comes to better protecting victims of violence. on a new study that documents how abusers are leaving court without strong enough warnings about the consequences of violating those protective orders. >> reporter: nearly half the time when a circuit court judge orders a protective order, he or she fails to warn the abuser that he could go to jail for violating it. 47% of the time no jail warning

is issued. 55% of the time judges fail to warn them that they need to give up their guns when it is issued. these are three of the findings uncovered by montgomery court watch in a year's time. >> they heard awful stories. we were always struck by how much courage it took for them to file for the protective orders. >> reporter: they could be deadly in march of 2013 -- 2012, heather mcgore was murdered by her estrange husband, released on bail after violating a protective order. the husband was released by a judge who had not fully reviewed his extensive violence because of a computer failure. today montgomery court watched them deliver their reports. >> we have eight simple views

that don't cost very much. >> reporter: despite the short comings, women that seek court, they are statistically safer than those who don't. in a telephone interview, the judge told me that they have made some constructive criticisms. in rockville, scott broom, wusa9. victims are treated with dignity and respect in the courtroom. only on 9, an inside look at the rehab facility getting addicts off the streets. what sets it apart from all the others coming up at 5:30. not quite as cold tonight. but check out the numbers this morning. 29 at national. that's the first time they've been below freezing this fall. 25 the low in leesburg. 21 in dulles and gaithersburg. we'll come back and tell you how cold it will get tonight and milder air for the weekend and if that means showers. also ahead panic on the

plane after an on mouse message from the pilot. a warning about zero interest promotion this holiday shopping season.

the kitchen may be the heart of the home, but the risk of a cooking fire triples on thanksgiving day. today in the rockville lab, they demonstrated just how dangerous the threat could be when you leave your stove top, oven or turkey fire unattended. there's been more than 125 turkey-fire related fires burned and even an explosion since 2003. >> that is why we want consumers to listen to our advice and standby your pan. if you are boyle boiling food, stay in your kitchen. it could be a recipe for

thanksgiving. >> practice safety and keep a fire extinguisher in the kitchen. avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing when you cook and cover a pan to smother out flames. don't ever use water or flour as it will make it worse. so you get an offer on the spot to buy now and pay later while shopping this holiday season as you might be thinking about it. but it is really buyer beware. if you miss that deadline by just one day or carry that balance, passing the no interest period, you could get slammed with mountains of interest. >> reporter: doug now says that buying the tv with an interest best buy credit card was the dumbest move ever. nasty surprise came in the mail after the three-year promotional period expired. >> they added $1,300 in interest on a balance of roughly $700 to $800. >> reporter: the original receipt had loan terms unclear and hard to find.

the agreement said if you didn't pay everything off in three years, you'd be charged interest on the entire bill. even on the payments he already made. attorneys say although the terms of deferred interest cards have gotten clearer, you can still get trapped. >> the disclosures on the cards, they are really not enough to help consumers understand what they are actually buying. >> reporter: besides best buy, home depot, wal-mart, and other retailers promote deferred interest loans. credit cards are even designed for the health care expenses, for the most vulnerable people who struggle to pay for care. >> and the very location of the solicitation within a doctor's office or a veterinarian's office or a dentist office is inherently expletive. >> reporter: deferred interest cards while legal are dangerous financial products and often carry high interest rates. >> we think that they should be banned. >> doug watts will never fall for a deferred interest pitch again.

and so consumers union, the advocacy arm, other groups have asked for the new financial federal watchdog to look into the deferred interest credit cards. and the the consumer protection board says that they will. that was nearly a nightmare come true on a flight from tampa to raleigh, durham. the pilot made an ominous message. >> he said we're going down. everybody is looking around like is this a joke? is he serious? then when you felt the nose dive, i thought i was going to die. that's what everybody thought was going to happen. >> can you even imagine? >> no. >> passengers panicked, began reaching for their phones. shelly texted an i love you message to her daughter. they leveled out before making the emergency landing. the cabin with the pressure caused that alert and the pilot was trying to talk to the flight attendant and not the passengers. and the u.s. airways says

that they are investigating the incident when a blind man was kicked off the flight in philadelphia. passengers say that they would not let that plane take off last night until albert's service dog was under the seat. the jet bound for long island sat on the tarmac before being kicked off. outraged passengers protested and then joined in for a long bus ride to their destination. >> i wake up tomorrow morning and feel extremely satisfied that i had 35 people who did the right thing. who got up and said no. they could have stayed on the plane, but they chose not to. i'm so humbled. >> well after the uproar, the captain canceled the flight altogether and u.s. air officials say they are not offering refunds. >> is that suppose to be a good

p.r. move? >> you just wonder. i don't know how it makes them look better. >> i moe that there are -- i know that there are rules. >> sometimes you need to bend them. >> we're taking a bus. >> absolutely. a little more comfortable today. it is like winter and more like, well, late november today. we're getting close to average. temperatures, they made it back into the 50s after the coldest morning of the season though. let's start with a live look outside. the live michael and son weather cam. it is a very nice evening. temps, they will not fall like a stone like last night. it's 50. the dew points are higher, which means there are more moisture in the atmosphere. it's a great indication on how cold it could get. that's the low range because the dew point is 28. winds are out of the south. they're not a factor anymore. satellite picture radar combined with a few clouds that

went through between 3:00 and 5:00. temps, 50 at fairfax. with a few sprinkles in the 40s right now. and still 54 at college park and 52 down towards waldorf. a bit below average tonight, but not as cold. if you are headed out, i recommend at least a jacket. bus stop temperatures, 48 to 42. if you're a high schooler, temperatures in the upper 20s to the lower 30s. if you in the lower grades, maybe 48 to 42. the earlier you get, the colder it will be with a few clouds coming in late this afternoon and on friday night a few showers are possible. it will not be a huge deal with high school football. but with that, it's a few sprinkles or showers that are possible. clear not as cold. 28 to 38. winds are light southwest at about 5 to 10. most folks are inside that beltway, staying above freezing. 33 bethesda and rockville and down to 31 in fairfax and 29 in

and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed to the designated route. not today. [ male announcer ] for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, without talking to the doctor who prescribes it as this may increase the risk of having a stroke. get help right away if you develop any symptoms like bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto® and it may take longer for bleeding to stop.

tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is not for patients with artificial heart valves. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto®. once a day xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring -- no known dietary restrictions. for more information and savings options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com. and checking in on your top

better. more defined characters, richer environments, and you're going to have smarter enemies. you're a good gamer and you always want enemies to be tougher. well they're going to be tougher now. >> well that's something. >> the other question though, i've got hundreds of dollars worth of ps3 games. can i play them on my ps4? >> you can't play the disc. you might be able to get some of the games downloaded digitally from the playstation 4. and you can get some of those free going, you know, grandfathered in. >> this is a transition. if you get rid of your ps3, those games are gone. >> this is not a cheap transition either. because this is going to set you back some money. >> it's $400 just for the game system and a controller and all the wires you need to get things going. and the box you get a free game that you can get from the playstation store. >> one free game. >> one lonely game. >> you know this is a big business. people are going to spend billions of dollars on these new game systems over the next 12 months. and you haven't bought a game

system for six to seven years. this is a big thing for the industry. >> think about it. you'd probably get five phones, two different kinds of technical things. it's seven years. that's a long time in graphic years. >> yes, it is. >> and in past times we know folks have lost their minds and gone out to stand in the cold to be the first one to own one of these things. are people doing it for this game? >> derek before we woke up this morning, there were people waiting in line. these are people that have paid for them, but they want to be the first ones to get them. >> and so now what does it mean for the black friday crowd? because you know a lot of people will be wondering should i stand out there, will there be anything? >> well there's good news and bad news. bad news, almost every system that's coming in to the u.s. this year is already spoken for. the good news is most retailers will take like a down payment or you can pay for the full thing in advance if you want. good thing is about every retailer wants to have a few so

you can come maybe out tonight and wait in line or on black friday you'll come out and wait in line to go in. that you can always go on ebay or, you know, if there are two dozen games available this year right away. if you don't see a game you want, play your playstation 3, be happy. then next year when there's a bigger supply, get it then. >> derek is getting his fun on. the other thing if you get to the point where you are really thinking that you could do something, you can share it on facebook or twitter. >> right. you hit the other button, the share button on the side. and look at that, i made a big mistake. you can upload a video clip or a screen shot or broadcast the games. what is that, broadcast the game plan? >> yes, a service call twitch. if we wanted to play a game, we could put it online. i'm sure a lot of people would watch. >> not a whole lot of games are

available. the ones that are out, you're not going to get too much better. >> you don't see it being pushed on technology until later down the road. when you look at say call of duty or the madden football games or the fifa games, there's a version out for the xbox and playstation 3. they look a little better. the sun rays look better on the football field. the player wills be more defined and smarter. you might be able to make your runningback go better, but the defensive line and the safeties will come at you faster. >> if you can compare the two, you would say i would like to have that new machine. >> and about a million people in the next 12 hours that will be getting them. >> do you think this one will be the hottest seller or do you think that the xbox one? >> this is like an ongoing debate. you know, xbox people and playstation people.

right now it'll be neck and neck this year and maybe four to five years from now there's a potential that one will be ahead of the other. it's who executes the best. >> the big thing here, these two machines, the xbox1 and playstation 4 are huge bets for both companies. sony has not had a hit as they really need this to do well. and microsoft's xbox is the best thing ever. >> certainly. they want to try to make sure that the middle and the center of your living room as you could run your paid tv service through the xbox one. and play station four is a little more subtle about that as they are trying to focus on gamers right now to get it installed, which will cost the same around the current game, but they want you to get that playstation 4 in your house. >> what if you are not like the pro gamer like the derek mcginty. just sort of getting your foot wet. is this the system you would get? >> it could be. i mean this game is a tony game and it is kind of like their

twist on the mario game. it's a family-friendly game. it's for those age 10 and over. it's easy to understand, but you can play it at easy, normal, heard difficulty. i usually play on normal. >> i would never play a game like this. >> really? [ laughter ] this is a family show. >> we could keep you here all day, but we have to go. this is the highlight of the show. >> the highlight of the week, what are you talking about? >> topper will tell us more on the forecast. all right. we're looking at a chilly night, but not as cold as last night live look outside, it is still 50 downtown. relative humidity at 43%. air mass is not as dry as it was last night. we're not going to be as cold. winds are out of the south at

8. temps, a -- 47 in fairfax. there's a smarting of the 40s. but the temperature is not going to fall like it did last night. 50 down in waldorf under clear skies. a bit below average. six degrees warmer than last night. high school kids need to deal with the numbers tomorrow. but some clouds will come in late for the day. a few showers are possible on friday night. it could interfere with high school football. but not a big deal. so for tonight clear skies, not as cold. 28 to about 38. winds are out of the southwest at 5 to 10. in fact most folks inside the beltway will be above freezing. but 33 in bethesda and downtown. getting out towards fairfax p1. getting out towards here. 29. 29 in sterling. 28 in leesburg and out towards

middleberg. but again about six degrees higher than what it was this morning. 30s and 40s to start. temperatures, back to 50. by 1:00 sunshine and 55. then on saturday temperatures are down just a little bit. 68 with a few showers on mid- sunday with a little better chance of the showers. next seven days. well monday rain and showers. they would beat the days out. and then it will be coaled, but not as cold as we thought yesterday. upper 40s on wednesday is sunshine on thursday. >> all right, top, thank you. an outrage tonight after a high school band gets kicked off the football field during a friday night game. in and out editorial published at the high school has gone viral. the wusa9 is live. so this article really struck a nerve, huh? >> reporter: absolutely. the editorial has been viewed

more than, or we should say nearly 300,000 times online. it's had hundreds of comments on the editorial. not to mention the facebook and twitter activity. an editorial about an incident that happened on the football field here right behind me, felt far behind. here is what happened with the half time winding down. the marching band still there. they began yelling for the band to get off so his players could get on the field. there was still time on the clock, but insisted that the team might get penalized, although that there was still time left. the band stopped their performance short and filed off the field. now, this infuriated the band students and parents that we spoke with as well as hundreds of people online. one person commenting on the editorial saying, "appalling behavior by a faculty member. i question their ability to lead." another person says, "i understand the coach being disrespectful. but also disrespectful to tell the team to take a 15-yard

penalty."
