Whats more, the group says there have been at least ten such deaths on u. S. Military facilities since 1990. Its an indication that these kinds of tragedies are possible even in secured, heavily monitored areas. Were learning new information about a scare on the university of maryland campus. This was the scene wednesday as police were searching for a man with a gun. A fake call came in saying someone was holding a hostage inside the Main Administration building. School Officials Say theyve learned the call came from an internetbased line. They say the line is linked to a social media account connected to other false threats nearby. They didnt find any threat. The school has not named a person responsible. Another person close to mayor vincent gray has pleaded guilty in the ongoing federal investigation into the 2010 mayors race. This time grays former driver, news 4s Mark Seagraves was in the courtroom and has been following the story. Mark is here with more on that and allegations of even more political payoffs during the campaign. Mark. Thats right, pat. Mark long was a failed d. C. Council candidate who ended up working for mayor gray as his driver during the 2010 campaign. Today he admitted he delivered a package to a Union Official who endorsed gray for mayor. Mark long didnt want to talk outside the courthouse, but inside he told the judge he was guilty of taking. Gray has long denied any wrong doing and has called Jeffrey Thompson a liar. Long is the sixth person connected to the Gray Campaign to plead guilty and could be the witness prosecutors need to back up Jeffrey Thompsons claims that gray knew of the Shadow Campaign. He is continuing his cooperation and we will have nothing that we can say regarding that cooperation or who is involved. Reporter the u. S. Attorney issued a statement warning he is not finished with his corruption investigation. Mark longs guilty plea is further evidence that this 2010 Mayoral Campaign was rife with corruption. Our work continues. The big revelation in court today, long admitted that jeannie harris, who has already pled guilty to her role in funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars to a Shadow Campaign to help elect gray directed long to drive to an Office Building in northwest. She then handed long a package and told him to take it to a man who was standing on the street corner. After long did that, he found out that man was a Union Official who had endorsed gray for mayor. Can you tell us who the Union Official was . I cannot. Can you tell us what was in that package . Does your client have any idea who was in that package . Again, we will not comment. Its an ongoing investigation. Now, long is facing five years in prison, but he will likely get a much lighter sentence because he is continuing to cooperate with federal prosecutors. Pat and chris. Thanks, mark. We just learn thad a pilot who may have blacked out while flying has crashed into the ocean. The private plane left the airport this morning heading to naples, florida. When the pilot didnt land and started heading over cuba, f16 fighter jets scrambled to intercept him. The airmen saw the unidentified pilot slumped over in the cockpit unconscious. Just a short while ago, a defense official in jamaica confirmed the single engine plane crashed just northeast of that island. Nbc tom costello has more on how they moon tore this pilots flight path. Once this plane entered cuban airspace, the united states, of course, and cuba are still at lawinger heads, and, yet, there is in communication as it relates to aviation safety and maritime safety. Keep in mind, the cuban government, the military, shot down two private planes in the late 199 0z. Brothers to the rescue. Four pilots were killed, and these pilots were trying to help people who were trying to escape cuba. There is this animosity. Yet, in this case it would appear that the cuban government thus far has allowed this plane to traverse its airspace. We are led to believe that they are also of the opinion that theres been some sort of an emergency on board this plane, that the plane has no ill intent towards cuba, and as a result, in fact, they have let the plane fly on. The pilot flew about 1,200 miles and passed through cuban airspace before he crashed in jamaica. Theres no word if anyone else was on board. And the federal government add them to the list of web sites hit by hackers. A portion of the health care. Gov site has been breach add coringed to white house officials. They use it to test a code and upload it malicious software. The hack happened sometime in july of this year. The good news they found new evidence that consumers personal information. The site is now secure. For now. Well, literally putting the smiles back on faces of some of the uninsured in the area. Officials in the security of maryland turned the Basketball Court into a stateoftheart dental clinic. Hundreds of people lined up this morning for cleanings, fillings, and extractions. A group of about 800 volunteers, some of them dentists and hygenists provided their Services Today free of charge. Organized dentistry, catholic charities, university of maryland have all gotten together, recognized a need in the community for some dental care for adults. Dentistry has been wonderful for me, and this is an opportunity for me to give back. That feels good. Okay. The clinic has already wrapped up for the day, but the volunteers will be back on the Court Tomorrow morning. Theyre going to try to serve as many people as they can starting at 7 00.

Last night the hosts of late night tv remembered joan rivers as a trailblazer and as an original. Joan rivers passed away yesterday at 81 years old. A week after going into cardiac arrest during a routine snoo officials will not comment on specifics about the medication. Medical doctors we spoke with say investigators will have plenty of questions, including was the state notified within 24 hours of complications in the office .

Turning to the weather. Doug, one more day of summer . Yeah. You know what, thats about it. We talked last night about it. Is this the lalast hur ray of s. Dont let that sdooef you. The heat index close to 100 in the city. It is a warm and humid afternoon. We are on yet another mini heat wave. We hit 90 degrees yesterday. We hit 92 so far today. 92 is the current number. 3, frederick. 91 in fredericksburg. Look at winchester. Our friends back to the west, only 82 degrees. Thats because theyve seen some rain back towards the winchester area. Heres more rain coming over towards winchester in and around the shenandoah valley. Just to the west of the blue ridge, weve seen the showers develop. Some of the storms on the strong side over towards hardy county. You can see a lot of lightning, but this storm, more storms forming in frederick county, virginia, and the panhandle of west virginia, and then you get a little bit of a break, and then down to the south around st. Marys county, speaking to folks down there, you might get some rain over the next couple of days. You have a little bit in the way of showers coming through around that area. Also down towards the Northern Neck. Dont put away the umbrellas just yet. I think most of us should remain on the dry side. I do expect some of the storms that are out to the west to move in towards the d. C. Metro area as we move on through thats a front thats going to drape down across the region. As it does, it will continue to draw moisture up from the south. Another very warm and humid day tomorrow, and a better chance of storms, i think, during the evening tomorrow. Tomorrow morning just warm and humid. Very warm and very humid. If not hot during the afternoon. High temperatures tomorrow even a little warmer than they were today, but notice where the rain is. No rain around our region. Its well back towards the west as that front is taking its time getting here, but by around 7 00, 8 00 we start to see that rain moving through i81. Over towards Loudoun County, Montgomery County, and then here around 9 00, 10 00 around the d. C. Metro area, and it may stick around. If you have some plans on your saturday night, take the umbrella with you. Just to be sure. You may need them as you are heading out on your saturday evening. Sunday, no problem, but well see a shift in the wind out of the northeast. That will knock temperatures down quite considerably. By about 15 degrees. Sunday will be a much cooler afternoon approximate. Storm potential for tomorrow evening, no real big threat as far as Severe Weather is concerned. Biggest threat will be heavy rains. A lot of events going on. I know ed sheerhan is coming to town tomorrow. Yes. They dont know who he is. 94 in manassas. 94 in fredericksburg. It will be a hot afternoon. We are talking about even hotter as you move in through the 3 00, 4 00, 5 00 hour tomorrow. 81 on sunday. 78 on sunday. Thats what im watching a coastal system that could bring more shower activity, and it should keep us on the cooler side. Highs only in the upper 70s on monday and tuesday. Even in towards wednesday a little bit on the cooler side. Guys. Thanks, doug. Its a fall tradition in Montgomery County, but its being put on hold. Theres a bit of controversy surrounding the 24yearold Harvest Festival. It was set to take place october 4th in durwood, but that day falls on the jewish holiday of yom kippur. The director of Montgomery County parks got an email saying holding the festival on that date was insensitive, so he canceled the event. An estimated 4,000 people go to the Harvest Festival every year. People are going to be a little disappointed by that. Absolutely. Total, complete gridlock. Were going to tell you what happened to the truck that was just too big for a Rock Creek Park overpass. More and more parents are concerned about concussions in football. Well show you the device that is now helping coaches monitor kids who want to stay in the game. The Meredith Vieira show starts on monday, but tonight well take you to new york for a special preview concussions and head injuries are not just a problem for professionals in the nfl. Its an issue for Football Players at all levels. A local team has decided to use the brain center strips for their players beginning this year. That is danatha catholic high school. Jason pew has more on the player protection monitoring system. When i got the concussion, i didnt know where i was. I couldnt do mental math. I couldnt remember three words. It was pretty bad. Nobody knew about it, and i just went to the coach and said my head was hurting. He said, all right, well take you out. If i hadnt gone to the coach and talked about it, i would have just stayed in. Reporter this year damatha, players wont have a choice when it comes to staying in. The team is using these sensor strips on the back of players helmets. The device indicates how many impactful hits a player has taken. Once the sensor flashes a red light, the teams concussion protocol should be assessed. Kids at this age dont understand the severity of a concussion, so a lot of times they dont report symptoms until its too late. This way i can take a look and always maybe i got to watch joe who took three really big hits this week and watch him that way, so then i can let the parents know he doesnt have a concussion, but he did take three hard hits this week. Lets take an eye and watch him. A lot of times we let our competent tiffness misguide a lot of our judgment, and you need someone there to kind of be the level headed person and balance it all. This is a step in the rited right direction for athletes. I have my brain and good senses to go with me for the rest of my life. Its amazing. How does this work . Yeah. Well, show us. Sfroo well, heres the thing. This, first of all, this sensor strip does not detect concussions. It detects impact for players. Basically an athletic trainer, they can keep track of how many hits a player has taken in practice every single day on a week to week basis. Even on a season to season basis with this sensor strip. Now, if an impact is really, really hard, it flashes red. The athletic trainer will come over, pull the player to the side, and they will do the concussion procedures, see if the ki guy is concussed a
