ing up the man and bringing help down slowly to a waiting ambulance. how complicated is it to get somebody down from a roof on a building like this still under construction? >> under construction it's very difficult. all we have is what the work earlies use to get up. sometimes that's -- workers use to get up. sometime that's stairwells. most of the time not. 40 minutes is a long time. fortunately we provided our medics on the roof right away by air. >> reporter: in a statement from the contractors in charge of this site announcing the death of that worker, they are cooperating with an osha investigation already underway. garrett haake, wusa9. >> i have to ask are there any more detimes as to the nature of the accident? what happened to -- details as to the nature of the accident? what happened to this poor man? >> reporter: we weren't able to talk to any of the workers,

but it was some kind of scaffolding collapse. the man was some kind of metal worker, but a lot of details will come out once osha investigators get on the site. >> thank you. there have been other construction accidents at that same museum site. in july of 2013 cranes were used to pull a worker from a 60- foot deep hole. it is a busy day for our emergency workers across the area. crews are scouring the potomac river searching for a swimmer last seen floating downstream. ellison barber is at that scene now with the latest from potomac, maryland. ellison? >> reporter: when we put up here, the first thing i heard was a park police helicopter flying in the air. we don't hear that anymore because most of the crews have left the scene because the sun is starting to set. they'll be back at sunrise looking for this person, but this was a very active search

that involved multiple agencies, montgomery fire and rescue, montgomery county and fairfax police and the u.s. park police looking on land, sea and in the water. one thing they were using the helicopter which was the most noticeable thing. we saw a lot of people going out to look in boats in full diving gear and there were police officers using thermal energy to potentially look for a body along the shore. what we know now is there were two men in their early 20s swimming in the river. only one of them made it out. a spokesperson for the fire and rescue in montgomery county told me one of the men was swimming near the shore. so he got out on his own. the other man was further out when he seemed to get caught in the current. he was last seen floating downstream near the great falls area wearing a white t-shirt. this is still considered an active search, but right now a lot of the crews have already left to go home for the day. they will be back tomorrow morning to keep looking for this person. what they hope now is maybe

this young man was able to swim to shore and got in his car and hasn't been able to tell anyone yet, but right now this is still an active search with one young man in his early 20s missing at the potomac river. >> let's hope for the best because that is some tough terrain over there. right now investigators from the u.s. bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms are trying to piece together the cause of a tragic fire in dupont circle that claimed the lives of two people and injured two others. scott broom is there at 1610 riggs place in dupont circle with some dramatic bystander video. >> reporter: look at the home behind me now, a beautiful four- level brick home, now the scene of tragedy. video shows what an inferno it was earlier. the home according to neighbors and friends, the residence of a man in his 60s who rents an apartment and rooms to a number of young adults.

the inferno caught on cell phone video early today, two people who neighbors believe were young adults, possibly university students renting rooms in the home, died. their identities have not been revealed by d.c. fire officials. two other adults also not named by fewer officials escaped the stately four-level brick row home with serious but not life threatening injuries. three firefighters were also hurt. neighbors are deeply concerned that one of the injured residents is a 64-year-old man who they have not been able to contact. shock spread quickly in the aftermath. >> i was frightened and you could smell the smoke inside my unit. >> i think it's terrible obviously and i'm just surprised at how -- you don't see these kinds of fire as to often anymore. >> reporter: today -- fires too often anymore. >> reporter: today agents from the atf took the lead on the investigation. no cause has been determined. the fire was reported at 2:30

a.m. and gutted all four levels of the building including a basement apartment whose tenant was out of town acquaintances said. again, the cause of the fire is not determined by the investigators and the identities of the people who died here and were injured here have not been confirmed by authorities. the on scene investigation has wrapped up, but investigators clearly have a lot more to do to figure out what the root of this tragedy was. live in northwest, scott broom, wusa9. >> yet another story we've got a report with a sad ending there. the atf says their involvement in d.c. fire investigations is routine. search warrants just unsealed today in the d.c. mansion murders offered chilling new details of the brutality of the crimes inside that stately home blocks from the vice president's house. our bruce leshan has been covering the murders of the savopoulos family and their

housekeeper from the beginning of this terrible story and is live in woodley park with the latest. >> reporter: these search warrants pretty clearly suggest that these crimes were carefully planned and carried out with almost incomprehensible brutality. almost three weeks after firefighters found savvas, amy and philip savopoulos and housekeeper vera figueroa murdered in the burning mansion crime scene investigators finally pulled out most of their equipment, but at the courthouse police returned six different search warrants. in the two vehicles traveling with suspect daron wint they were looking for duct tape. sources say it was used to bind the victims. they were looking for the missing digital video recorder, for the home surveillance system and looking for knives, guns and gasoline containers. finally they wanted to search cell phones in the vehicles for

photos or communication between wint and any of the co- conspirators police are convinced were involved. the killers also apparently stole the cell phones of all three adults and the warrants seek location and call records for those phones. there was also a warrant for the cell phone records of savvas savopoulos' assistant, a guy named jordan wallace, the man who delivered the $40,000 cash leighing it in a car in the garage. in-- leaving it in a car in the garage. detectives say wallace lied about some of the details and they wanted to know who he had called and texted. police had been building their case against wint and sources say they have more than just his dna on a pizza crust found in the room with three of the murder victims. they also say they now have the blood of one of those victims

on wint's shoes. now police believe that the killers tortured and mutilated 10-year-old philip savopoulos, that they poured gasoline over him in his bed and set him on fire. it is hard to comprehend. reporting live at woodley park d.c., bruce leshan, wusa9. >> that is very difficult to hear. we should also note there is a pretty firm statement today from the public defender regarding attorney robin thicker who has been talking to suspect daron wint and the press. the public defender service says robin thicker does not represent mr. wint and mr. wint has no intention of hiring mr. ficker and mr. ficker does not speak for mr. wint. ficker says that could change. we've got rainy weather and slick roads that could make for another yellow alert day. first alert chief meteorologist topper shutt joins us now. live doppler 9000 has been going all week.

d.c. man is suing the fire department after he was refused treatment and later died of a heart attack. outside the superior courthouse today the children of cecil mills said they are seeking $7.7 million. bruce johnson is live outside the firehouse where mills died in northeast with more. >> reporter: it's still hard to believe after all this time. let's go back january of last year, total of five firefighters inside this firehouse on rhode island avenue in northeast, a lieutenant, three veterans and a firefighter on probation. while they were inside out here on this very sidewalk 77-year- old cecil mills was on that sidewalk where he collapsed from apparent cardiac arrest. people came to the firehouse begging for help only to be turned away. that rookie firefighter told him they could only respond after somebody first called 911. he was wrong. a d.c. cop comes by, eventually

flags a passing ambulance. mr. mills later died on the way to the hospital. >> when people went and knocked on the door and were told that you need to call 911 and they were saying we called 911, the man needs help and they could not one of those five people could come, one went and got back in his bed and he still has a job. if i have to call and he's in the fire station closest to my house, how i do know he's going to come? >> the city needs to be accountable for every action or lack of action that its city employees fail to take in the time of a dying man's death. >> reporter: now fire department internal probe resulted in a veteran firefighter garrett murphy being given a 60 hour suspension without pay. word is he was reading a book while mr. mills was dying on the sidewalk. another firefighter was reprimanded. another firefighter was exonerated and that lieutenant helene davis was allowed to

failure of the radiation process to kill the anthrax spores and the test to ensure the samples are dead. >> people have been working with this material 10 years and nobody has contracted anthrax from the material. >> reporter: military doctors say the low concentration of live spores and the packaging that it was shipped in means the threat to the public is virtually nonexistent. >> some lab workers who opened the materials are being given antibiotics as a precaution. u.s. investigators may be targeting recently resigned fifa president seth blatter as part of the ongoing corruption scandal. attorney general loretta lynch said she'll speak through the courts. interpol has put six men with ties to blatter on its most wanted list including one fellow accused of taking a $10 million bribe for bringing the 2010 world cup to south africa. you should expect to see driverless cars on virginia highways in the next year.
