Inner loop and outer loop right near ties sons, ill check in on that for you. Taking a look elsewhere. When we look here at 66 and 95 in virginia, again, no major issues.

Developing this morning, chaos outside and inside a local Fast Food Restaurant had some customers pretty shaken up. Bullets pierced the windows at this mcdonalds in germantown last night. No one was hurt inside. News 4s justin finch is live with an update on the men who were injured and whats happening now. Justin . Reporter eun, good morning. Police say whats so troubling about this case is just when this happened. Were talking about 6 00 on a tuesday evening as people were inside of this mcdonalds, and they were eating when all of a sudden that bullet that front lower pane of that window there and two men who were shot ran inside. Now this restaurant was then closed for hours last night. The relief here, as you said, no one else inside the restaurant was hurt. The two men were believed to have been outside, perhaps in the parking lot, when they were shot by an unknown shooter and then ran inside to escape. Police do believe those men know who shot them, but in this case the shooter or shooters were able to get away and in canva canvassing for clues here, police say a plus here is that it happened in a busy area. This is a Shopping Center so many businesses have the video. Investigators will be looking at that to see if it provides any fruit. Reporter and right now that restaurant now opening for business the morning after that shooting. This mcdonalds here is on gunners bridge road. Pretty busy area. Able to get some witness insight and they may say as things are recovered they will be talking to them, too. Justin finch, news 4. Back in to you. Justin, thanks. Deep red alabama went blue. For the first time in 25 years voters in alabama elected a democrat to the u. S. Senate. Last night at his headquarters doug jones appeared speechless at the magnitude of what his supporters pulled off. Jones beat roy moore by 2 . Moore was not only fighting jones but a wave of allegations of Sexual Misconduct. This morning the republican is not ready to admit defeat either. With more on that go live to montgomery, alabama. Chris pollone is on the ground there. Good morning. Reporter good morning, aaron and eun. Weve learned to expect the unexpected in politics, but it was quite see doug jones declare victory, come out and give his speech and then roy moore, the republican in this race, the apparent, you know, defeated republican came out and basically said, im not conceding. About 20,000 votes separate the two. Its about 1. 5 margin at this point, but in order to start a state recount, a mandatory recounts, it would have to be within just half a percent. It doesnt look like theres any way to find ballots that would get roy moore there. Obviously no concession called. He didnt concede the race but it doesnt look good for him at this point. It looks like doug jones will be the one going to the senate. Both spoke to the media last night, moore sort of blaming the media for a lot of his troubles. Campaign is weve been painted in an unfavorable and unfaithful light. At the end of the day this this dignity and respect. Reporter so Democrat Doug Jones is the apparent winner. The Election Results will be certified by the end of this month. If he is sworn into the senate, which we expect him to be, it will likely be in early january. Hell serve approximately two years before being up for reelection in 2020. Live from montgomery, alabama, im chris pollone. Back to you. Chris, thank you. This is a really huge upset in one of the typically reddest states in the country. Chris lawrence is at the live desk to explain what this now means for congress. Whats next, chris . Un, aaron. Its just one vote. The way the senate works, it can change anything. Alabama probably wont certify the election until just after the new year. Republicans are pushing to pass it by the time of christmas. Repealing obamacare. Both of those are probably off the table now. The sliver margin gives more power to senators who dont follow the party line. If democrats hold their own in next years mid term election plus split arizona and nevada, they could retake control of the senate. Chris, thank you. President trump congratulated doug jones on a hardfoot win in alabama adding republicans will have another shot at the senate seat. Jeff flake who donated to doug joness campaign simply wrote, decency wins. Joe biden said, thank you, alabama. He will make you proud in the senate.

Not a good day for this. Reporter not a good day for this at all. I want to say, aaron said i had a squirrel on my head. This thing is really warm. This is kind of what youre going to have to be bundled up wearing out here today because it is brutally cold out here. What were talking about is not only is it cold but metro riders are going to be dealing with delays because of a communication cable that was just discovered and has to be fixed. What this means is there will be limited service all throughout the entire red line. This is a 40yearold cable that actually pinpoints the location of trains and so you can imagine how important that is in certain sections of the system. Expect today if youre coming out along the red line. Theres only going to be one train on each track at a time between brooklan, at thtacoma a fort totten. Through the entire red line trains will only be running every 10 minutes instead of every 8 minutes which they normally do over rush hour. Then that means that this weekend there will have to be a larger repair system, larger repair plan to go and fix that cable. That is in that section. So that means larger repair work today. Now lets take a look out here, see if we can find anybody cold, running for the train. It will be a brutally cold morning if youre out here trying to get onto the metro system. Beware of that.
