Here with my dad. Love being here chicago fans were in the house as well. Here come the hawks the mighty blackhawks and they were loving this washington weather. This is like miami for us. No snow its great. This is almost tropical to us from the food to the fans. This game is a new years tradition that caps fans have passionately embraced. Caps, caps, caps caps its been a long day for a lot of people. Gates opened at 1 00 but there was a fanfest across the street that started much earlier today. So a lot of people came out making an entire day of it. Fortunately, the temperature got up into the mid 40s so it was a great day to be outside and obviously, a fantastic finish to washington, d. C. s first winter classic. Reporting live in Nationals Park suzanne kennedy, abc 7 news. And the day is not over for those fans yet right, suzanne . Thank you very much. Prior to the game the big discussion was whether the glare off the ice would cause a problem. But once the puck dropped, it became about two well matched, solid nhl teams fighting for a win and wow, did it have a great finish. Robert burton continues our team coverage. He is inside nats park with keys to the caps win. Robert . Yeah. Heres the question is there a better way to start off 2015 . You come to nats park to check out the winter classic. The caps taking on the blackhawks. And it ends with a troy brower goal to win it. I think 42,000 fans got their moneys worth today. Well lets go to the action. Were on the ice. A Beautiful Day for fans but a tough start for the players. There was talk of you know delaying the start time because of the glare. They decided to switch sides halfway through the first period to give both teams a fair Vantage Point with the sun. So first period, 10 caps. The great eight, Alex Ovechkin in the right place at the right time. Cleans up the rebound in front of the net and scores. Its 20 caps. Less than 30 seconds to go tied at two, caps have a power play. Ovechkin shoots. Misses entirely. But troy brower is there to put home the rebound for the gamewinner. Caps go on to win this one 32 was your final. Coming up a little later in sports, were in the clubhouse and im pretty sure Everyone Wants to hear from the guy, troy brower. Back to you. Fun stuff. Thank you so much robert. After those initial concerns about sun glare at todays game the weather turned out to be perfect for hockey but these clear skies may not be around much longer.

It all started when police say that John Sherwood confronted his wife at a friends home in woodbridge. It ended as 2015s first murder in this area. Chris papps is at the scene tonight with details that you will hear and see only on 7. Chris . Well, what happened very early in the morning at this house here next to me is something that is absolutely terrifying. And the home owners son told abc 7 news today that the victim and the suspect were having troubles in their relationship. But they also had a child. An 18monthold son whose mother is now dead and whose father is in jail. Slowly and methodically. He is cleaning up this house which his mother owns and rents out. After a murder left it splattered in blood. Its difficult to take in because you feel so bad for the family and the victim. Early this morning, 90 minutes after the start of a new year Prince William county police say 22yearold John Sherwood stabbed his wife. 21yearold Erica Sherwood shown here on facebook on concord drive in woodbridge. Finally cut her throat. He tells abc 7 john and erica were going through a divorce. Police say inside the home where erica was visiting an argument escalated and sherwood began chasing his wife through the home stabbing her in the upper body. Sherwood then fled the scene. But crashed into this tree and was taken into custody soon after. He is now being held in custody without bail. Domestic violence, you feel you hear on the news. Its not a matter of where it is or whatever. People snap at times, i guess. Now, he told abc 7 news that erica was pregnant when she died. Police have not been able to confirm that. The autopsy is tomorrow. But if she was Pregnant Police say more charges could be filed. Live in woodbridge abc 7 news. Chris, thank you very much. And d. C. Police are also investigating the first shooting of 2015. It happened around 10 00 this morning in the 3400 block of 22nd street southeast. Police have not released details about the shooting and theres no word on the status of the victim or if any arrests were made. At least one person has been arrested after a protest inside the mall in wheaton. It came after a staged diein aimed at protesting against deadly shootings involving police. Rebecca coopers was in the middle of it all and joins us live with a video youll see only on 7. Rebecca . The protest organizers told us they did not choose this location because they have any specific complaints about Montgomery County police. Rather, they say it was simply a location that was easily accessible by car and by metro. But what started as a peaceful protest ended with an arrest and vows of more disruption in the new year. They arrested her without miranda rights. I mean this is just absolutely bordering on police state. She had an absolute right to do that without being handcuffed and hauled off to jail. Organizers from hands up in d. C. Insist activist erica totten was wrongly taken into custody today at the wheaton mall. You want to arrest me. But police say protesters were deliberately disrupting the peace inside the mall on private property. It started as a largely silent protest carefully organized by a group of young people who say they wanted to be heard. They told us they were grateful both mall officials and police were allowing them to carry out their demonstrations. Wasnt just like black lives matter in 2014. Its black lives matter and we need to show everybody that going into the new year strong. Some by standers seemed amused, a few annoyed but most told us they were glad the protesters not being given a way to voice their concern. They do matter. Im glad to see it. Its not, you know infringing on my freedoms. Im going shopping to macys. But when the organizers left the mall this small Splinter Group of activists stayed. Determined to more vocally make their case. We arent letting the message die out in 2014. 2015 is going to be explosive now that activist, erica totten said she does not mean explosive in any other way but loud and disruptive. She says not violent. Montgomery county police say she is being charged with two misdemeanors and is expected to be released today. They say typically they do not read miranda rights if someone is not going to be questioned by police or held indefinitely. Roaring live at the wheaton mall Rebecca Cooper abc 7 news. Todays protests mirrored a massive diein during bostons popular first night celebration last night. Dozens marched Holding Signs that read black lives matter. And in new york more vocal protests, marchers chanted out familiar i cant breathe a reference to eric garners death a confrontation with Police Officers last year. Happening right now d. C.

However, they say thats still under investigation. They say one firefighter suffered minor injuries while battling this. But fortunately, all the customers at district two were able to get out and also everyone else was able to get out of the building without being hurt. Thats very fortunate. If we come out here live and you see that window up there theres a flashlight and a man inside it right now. Firefighters say they had to rescue a man who was trapped up there. He had been working in his office on the second floor there. Its an office unrelated to the restaurant so they had to rescue him. Hes fine im told but i talked to another Business Owner up there who said on a normal day there would be a couple dozen people on that floor. Its very fortunate this happened on january 1st when there wasnt a lot of folks to be rescued up there. Tom roussey, abc 7 news. Thanks for that update, tom. U. S. Park police have a bit of a mystery on their hands. Take a look at this. This was the scene at fletchers boat house in northwest washington after sunrise. Investigators are trying to figure out how that car ended up in the canal. Police said it was not an accident. And they add that no one was hurt. The wrecker eventually pulled the car, as you can see, out of the water and some frightening moments in Ellicott City where firefighters had to rescue a driver trapped on the roof of a car after it crashed into a pond.

Not a tornado and clear skies out there and this is what you get. And unfortunately, i mean fortunately, no one was hurt during all this but amazing to watch. And theyre fairly common so its not something that you usually dont see tents flying around like that. But it can happen. I bet it happens.

Annapolis at 41 and easton maryland at 41 degrees. Last night, they dropped a giant crab. Thats how they celebrate the new year. So new york has the ball. Eastern maryland has a giant crab.

Ill take it. Sounds good. Thank you, steve. Yeah and with that cold nice forecast out there, thats good outdoor hockey weather, isnt it . Lets check in with Robert Burton who has been at Nationals Park for winter classic. Man, you had it all out there today, robert. Yeah. And scott, it will sort of be like a celebration overload. Tell me if this is too much for you. You bring in the new year in morning. And then you celebrate an awesome win for the caps against the blackhawks for the winter classic. A 32 win by a last second goal from troy brower. Lets go there. Were on the ice. Alex ovechkin led his capitals on to the ice. Its become a tradition for both teams to walk out on the ice at the same time. Check out billy idol before the game. He was rocking hard and it looks like hes still got it. Lets get to the actual action. First period. Its great eight, Alex Ovechkin in the right place at the right time to clean up the rebound in front of the net. 20 caps. Less than 30 seconds to go, tied at two. Caps have a power play. Ovechkin shoots and misses entirely. Check out brower he was the man today. Caps go on on to win it 32. The building was awesome and the fans were awesome. Nhl did a great job with the production and ultimately a great hockey game as well. It was an nhl hockey game. They truly are an amazing hockey team. I mean they play, you know very detailed game and they work hard and they have some skilled guys and theyre dangerous. Nice for us to get that win. All right. Switching from hockey to a Little College football. Were talking about the cotton bowl. Michigan state and baylor. So lets go there and get in on that action. The spartans up by 20 points to start the fourth but they come all the way back. Connor cook finds a 10yard touchdown with 15 seconds left in the game. Michigan state stuns baylor 4241. How about a free concert . Gavin degraw playing one of my favorites, how about that . Its cold out here. Nothing beats a free concert, right . Back to you guys. All right. Conversation piece, what you see on the sign outside of gas stations, right . And tonight, virginia residentse paying an average of just 2. 15 for a gallon of gas. Thats more than a quarter cheaper than those living in d. C. And maryland. Thats really unbelievable but the new year could send the prices rising. And Jeanette Reyes has been covering this story for us all says thats not the only change that comes with the new calendar. Well the new laws will bring a variety of changes. Some good. Some bad. But well start with the one that youll probably see the soonest. Take a look behind me at the gas prices. 2. 45 here in arlington and weve seen them as low as 2. 02 in some parts of virginia. You may notice some changes here. New gas tax taking effect today may slow down that downward trend just a little. Drivers in virginia are going to expect to pay an extra five cents a gallon while those in maryland will see a 2 increase. About three cents a gallon. But those around the only changes well see. Some good news here for thousands of people. A new year means an increase in salary for minimum wage workers. Employees in maryland will see a jump from 7. 25 to 8 an hour beginning today. Its part of a gradual increase that will cap out at over 10 an hour by 2018 maryland is one of 20 states in the country raising minimum wage. Minimum wage in the coming years as a way to address income inequality. So again, some good. Some bad. Especially with these gas prices certainly helps that its really at the lowest its been in several years. So that five cents added on Jeanette Reyes for abc 7 news. D. C. Is about to swear in its second woman mayor in history. Muriel bowser will take over for incumbent vincent gray in a ceremony tomorrow. Sam ford is outside the Washington Convention center where it will all take place. Sam . Kelly, scott you might call this muriel weekend in d. C. Tomorrow, the swearingin ceremony here at the Washington Convention center. Tomorrow night, a number of the balls here at the convention center. And then on saturday there is a childrens ball which is going to be held at cora barrys Tennis Center in southeast. It all got started today with a 5k run at Oyster School in northwest.
