had your prostate checked this year? many doctors are pushing for earlier screenings. the general opinion has been that men at high risk of developing prostate cancer get a psa test and digital rectal exam annually starting at the age of 40. some doctors are saying men should begin testing at the age of 35. i do watch the fat content. i don t eat a lot of the burgers and stuff anymore from outside. ron cleaned up his diet after finding out he had prostate cancer. a disease that strikes more than 192,000 and kills more than 27,000 men every year. we are now able to diagnosis more men with prostate cancer at earlier and earlier stages. and we believe because of that, we are making great strides in curing men of prostate cancer. dr. daniel explains the key to early detection is early screening. prostate cancers grow in this portion of the prostate right next to the rectum. he recommends an annual rectal exam and psa blood test starting at age 35 for those who have a higher chance of developing the disease. being over the age of 50, being an african american and having a relative with prostate cancer. men should start annual testing at 40. a normal prostate feels like this part of the thumb. a cancer feels like a hard spot underneath the surface. annual exams are considered the best means of detection since prostate cancer strikes without symptoms. his only sign was an elevated blood test result. now after treatment, he appears to be cancer free. doctors say everything looks good. we think we caught it early enough and we got it. what can men do to prevent prostate cancer? the doctor recommends maintaining a low fat diet. i m kellye lynn with health watch. all right, thank you, kelly. the great prostate challenge is coming up. as part of wjz s continuing

but nothing close by. what this system is going to do is bring us the potential for heavy rain. moving across kentucky and tennessee, we are looking at all of this moving in this direction. it has the potential to bring with it a hefty punch. so we are looking at flash flooding possibilities when the system gets closer and we are talking about in the overnight hours. for right now, we are looking

from the east. not really because of the rain. we are going to be watching the showers and the cloud cover start to move on in here, thickening as we move in through the evening and overnight hours.

said. mccay, who passed away last year went from an early baltimore broadcaster to a national household name. he came up with the name to bring the best of the state s breeders, horses, and trainers together. a name change was in order. we should rename the maryland millions, which was jim s idea and his baby, the jim mccay, maryland million. i think for him, he would be touched. he would be honored and he would be kind of shy about it. say gee, they really are naming it after me. for a sport mccay loved, big race days are few and far between. it is second only to the peekness as a major moneymaker. besides the benefits, this race also benefits others. baltimore city s threatened police unit will stay in operation. as organizations working to save retired thoroughbreds from auctions

temperatures getting up to the daytime high, about 65 degrees. rain heavy at times tonight and temperatures dipping down to the mid 50s. we ll have your complete updated forecast and talk about how the rest of the weekend shapes up in your complete updated forecast. first, here s what people are talking about. police find a family of four dead inside their home late last night. state troopers made the discovery. lisa has details, plus brand- new reaction from neighbors. good morning, everyone. right now there are a lot more questions than answers. investigators spent most of friday night processing the scene inside the house. police say they believe it is a husband, wife, and two children found inside their home, dead. after police find four people dead inside this single family house friday evening. troopers went inside and found four people deceased. an adult male, adult female, and two children, a male and a female. police are treating the case as a homicide investigation, although they are not looking for any suspects. investigators and troopers do believe that the situation is contained to this home. do not have any kind of active search underway for someone who may have been responsible for this incident. police believe all four victims are part of the same family. they have not made any positive identifications. they say it s too soon to call this a murder suicide. they aren t ruling anything out. i could not believe something like that could happen. the residential neighborhood is clearly shaken. family friends tell eyewitness news the young female victim went to twin ridge elementary. her teenage brother was on the football team. described as a church going, gracious family, neighbors can t imagine what went wrong. it s a sadness that knowing there are four people that are in that home are dead and children especially. they seem like very religious people. there are rocks on their step and they have quotes from the bible. it s shocking. neighbors say the house has been on the market for two years. they can only speculate as police piece together how this gruesome discovery unfolded. they probably got a lot of financial difficulties going on and a lot of stress. they have not been able to obviously identify exactly what occurred or why it occurred. there are a lot of questions that remain. police have no cause of death for any of the victims. this investigation is still very early. we ll bring you the latest as we get it. reporting live, wjz eyewitness news. thanks. wjz is always on. for the latest on this on going investigation, log on to wjz.com. a baltimore city police officer is still in serious condition this morning after being shot in his home and police say the gunmen are teens. police are charges them, both 16 as adults. police say detective aaron harris was off duty and standing on his front porch when the teens tried to rob him. that s when one of the teens shot harris three times. the officer returned fire with his service weapon, hitting him in the leg. police arrested the teen when he tried to get medical treatment at a local hospital. one week and one day after he saw one of maryland s largest water main breaks, homeowners need help. repair crews are working overtime to fix the 72-inch water main that burst and flooded several blocks. this morning, red cross volunteers will hand out cleanup supplies. despite heavy damage, the county says some neighbors haven t been able to get their insurance claims approved just yet. on average, at least one water main breaks every day baltimore region. this morning, wjz investigation, adam may exposes maryland s crumbling infrastructure. a growing problem that is putting us all in danger. nearly killing drivers and causing homeowners millions, water main breaks are happening at an alarming rate. more than 2,000 since 2000. snapped several times at york road. in april, a 100-year-old line ruptured. another break shut down amtrak service. and now the worst break in recent history, when a pipe with a known design defect ruptured, leaving more than 100 homes under water. carl lost everything in his finished basement and like many of his neighbors, his insurance company will not cover the losses. but he is not only upset with his adjustor. i blame the government. they should have told the community about that situation, at least we could have had the proper coverage. should the city be warning residents to get flood insurance, even in an area that doesn t necessarily flood. we don t know where a break is going to occur. guaranteed to affect some of the 1.8 million customers in the city, served by 3400 miles of water main. how many of those miles are in danger? well, remember most of those were built when the city was built. you will see many of these occur. that s why baltimore city requested money for water projects, but they only got $12 million. a drop in the bucket. that money should have gone to those. did the government just give the insurance company? how do i get my money to fix mine? the insurance company has it, they aren t passing it out to people. calling for more federal funding for water mains. illustrating his case with pictures with the damage shot by wjz and sky eye chopper 13. this is a bipartisan effort, as it should be. with a soaring national deficit, spending more has become political, especially for big ticket projects. to fix just water mains, how much money would the city need? about $2 billion. $2 billion. that s our estimate. is there any way to raise that money here locally without help from the federal government? absolutely not. we can t afford to pay that kind of money. they can t afford the government s inaction. they are going to wait for these pipes to keep bursting and the next community down the road has to deal with this, good luck. good luck. adam may, wjz, eyewitness news. in addition to all of the drinking water flowing through our system, baltimore city also treats about 250 million- gallons of waste of water daily from 1.6 million people. open a one day recovery service in order to get more information on their insurance. it will be open between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. at the water s edge community center at 7894 dundock avenue. concerns about swine flu are mounting as doctors announce another h1n1 death. so far, it s the eighth bun in maryland. health workers are aren t saying much, except it was a youth with serious underlying medical problems. and in baltimore, a little girl remains in the hospital with the virus. in this morning s wjz flu watch report, jessica kartalija speaks exclusively with that girl s aunt. i peeked at her. to actually stand a couple feet away from my niece and all i see is the machine doing the breathing, my heart was crushed. reporter: she describes the first time she saw her 13-year- old niece, destiny, in the hospital. tests ran, she has h1n1. just hours after the 8th grader collapsed. she was taken to the hospital where she went into cardiac arrest. her heart stopped. they resesitated her. dr. ann is with the city health department. she says it is crucial students get the seasonal flu when it becomes available. h1 may well not last for the entire flu season. it may go down and when it goes down, the other types of flu may come up. so it s important to have both seasonal protection and h1 protection. > vaccination clinics are popping up throughout baltimore. city and county schools have seen an abnormally high number of student absences this week. they are urging parents to keep sick kids home, wash hands frequently, and be on alert. be more careful, sterilize everything. sanitize, like you said, get the shot. the flu shot. i mean, this is nothing to sleep on, i never thought it would touch home so close. as for destiny, she is still sedated in intensive care, but expected to recover. my sister came here, she is back. destiny s case is very rare, for most people who will contract h1n1 virus, they will get over it in a matter of days. at the university, i m jessica kartalija, wjz eyewitness news. thanks jessica. hope to offer the h1n1 vaccine to every student. that vaccine is expected to be made available to health officials in mid october. baltimore city schools are hoping to make high school dropouts a thing of the past. holding a fair for students who aren t currently in school. teens can find out about academic programs that work for them on their terms. the fair runs from 9:00 to 1:00 this afternoon at success academy on east north avenue. for more information, call city schools. we are starting to get some glimpses, and we have some studio guests who are talking about the baltimore book fair that is happening and the weather is holding up. you know, we have been talking, especially in my house, number one in the box office, cloudy with a chance of meatballs. that s not in our forecast, but you know, i will say that if the rain does come. let s hope neither in this area, yes. but we are looking at a decent forecast until the evening when it will be cloudy and a chance of something coming down, hopefully nothing edible. as you mentioned, nothing you can talk to after it lands. we are looking at 58 degrees. clouds are rolling on in here. relative humidity at 77%. winds from the east at 6 miles per hour. the barometer is rising at 30.26. i want to put in motion, just to give you an ideas. while we have nothing in the area of rain yet in maryland, we ll open up the view. the scan shows what we have moving in, coming in from the west. and this as we bring it all the way out shows you that the rain is pretty heavy, extending from west virginia down to the gulf states and as we, you know, watch that moving into the region. some of those storms bring with them a heavy punch. we will have the potential for some flash flooding as some of this rain starts to move in. these are pretty intense storms with thunder, heavy rain. more than an inch of rain as it make its way late, into the overnight hours, so we ll keep an eye on that for you. temperatures are comfortably in the 50 and low 60-degree range. 54 in oakland. 61 in cumberland. temperatures are changing as we speak. 58 at bwi marshal. and around the immediate metro area, 57 in rock hall. we do have that wind coming in from the east. it s bringing with it some of the cloud cover, depending on how far east you are. the bay influencing things across the city. down near pax river, 15. this is what we had roll through here yesterday. yesterday, in the early hours, we had showers move through. they have since dispated. what we are seeing now, clouds streaming in, associated with the rain that is just off to our west. so that is going to be moving in here later in the evening. as the rain moves through, we will see it move through until tomorrow morning and then we ll see some clearing. with the clearing, we ll see temperatures go up into the 70s tomorrow, just in time for the bulk of the ravens game and another front from the west brings us another chance of rain on monday. then behind that, cooler conditions will stay in the 60s for the majority of next week. so with all that said, your sunset is at 6:56. we have a southeast wind at 15. with a small craft advisory in effect through late tonight. we want to mention, tropical depression number 8, which is really kind of fizzling out in the far atlantic, moving to the west, northwest, just around 14 miles per hour. right now, impacting no one as far as any land or any of the vacation islands. we ll keep you posted on that. look for rain heavy at times. tonight, getting down to 58 and then starting a bit of a gradual warmup. we ll have your ravens kickoff time forecast

their home late last night in frederick county. we have the details, plus brand- new reaction from neighbors. reporter: good morning, everyone. right now there s a lot more questions than answers. investigators spent much of friday night processing the scene inside the house. police tell us they believe it s a husband and wife and their two children who were found dead. dozens of detectives flooded the block after police found four people dead inside this single family house around 5:40 friday evening. arriving troopers went inside and found four people deceased. an adult male, adult female, and two children, a male and a female. police are treating the case as a homicide investigation, although they aren t looking for any suspects. investigators believe the situation is contained to this home. we don t have a search underway for someone who may have been responsible for this incident. reporter: police believe all four victims are part of the same family. they say it s too soon to call this a murder suicide, but they are not ruling anything out. it s really sad. it s shocking. i could not believe something like that could happen. the residential neighborhood is clearly shaken. family friends tell eyewitness news the young female victim went to twin ridge elementary. her teenage brother was on the football team. described as a church going, gracious family, neighbors can t imagine what went wrong. it s a sadness of knowing that there s four people that are in that home are dead and children especially. they seemed like very religious people. they have rocks on their steps and quotes from the bible. so it s very shocking. neighbors say the house has been on the market for two years, but while investigators have in more questions than answers, they can only speculate in how this gruesome discovery unfolded. they probably have a lot of financial difficulty and a lot of stress. they haven t been able to discover what occurred or why it occurred. police have no cause of death for any victims. we ll bring you the latest as we get it. reporting live, wjz eyewitness news. wjz is always on for the latest in this on going investigation. log on to wjz.com.

the player to death while he slept. she then turned the gun on herself. a baltimore city police officer is in the hospital after being shot several times. it happened during a botched robbery. and now as kelly reports, they have two teens in custody for it. reporter: friends tell us that detective aaron harris wife and his sons have been here at the hospital with him after thursday night he was able to fire his service weapon, hit one of his attackers in the leg and that s what led police to their arrest. within minutes, detectives started scouring for clues and suspects on highgate drive thursday night. an offduty officer had been shot in the stomach and leg during an attempted robbery. police arrested creeing and kavon wilson, both 16 years old. police say the two tried to rob detective aaron harris as he was coming home to this quiet neighborhood. he has been a great neighbor. he has been a great friend of mine. we have had things here, cookouts. really sorry to hear about what happened. aaron harris was off that hospital bed today, he would be out there leading the fight at wats to go and get gun offenders off the street. that s what he does every day. they say he chased the guys. he hit one of them in the leg and i thank god he hit one of them in the leg. detective harris was brought here to the hospital just a few blocks away from his home and the shooting. also arriving here to the hospital was a 16-year-old boy with a gun shot wound to his leg. that s how police found their first suspect. things have to change. gun offenders have to realize that enough is enough and that they have to go to jail and stay in jail. i wish i could say i was surprised. it s been a couple robberies. we don t know what to make of it. we just don t. it s stunning. just last monday, another off duty officer fired his service weapon while being robbed. the officer was not injured. he is not making a connection between the two. i absolutely don t think that they knew he was a cop, but this tells us in a very personal way we still have a lot of work to do. harris is in serious, but stable condition. both boys are in police custody and police have yet to find the .22 caliber pistol they used in the attack. reporting live, kelly, wjz eyewitness news. thank you kelly. police say wilson have juvenile records, but they could not say what crimes they have been charged with before. fire crews are called to battle an early morning fire. it happened just before 2:00 a.m. near towson. officials say a two-alarm fire ripped through a home before firefighters were able to get it under control. no injuries were reported and no word yet on what sparked the blaze. since a huge water main break flooded large portion of dundock area and even though crews are working overtime to fix it, the county says there s a lot of work left. workers are pumping water out of broken pipes. the pipe burst last friday, flooding more than 100 homes. and people in south wrest area are also trying to recover after floods reeked havoc. joe biden got to see the damage firsthand as he toured flooded areas. torrential rain sparked floods across georgia, tennessee, and alabama. at least 11 people have died. that area went from one extreme to the other. they had drought conditions and we are seeing pictures where roller coasters are going in and out of water. it was pretty fascinating. they are getting more rain, unfortunately. we are getting we will, too. yeah, and unfortunately, we are going to get some rain that could cause some flash flooding as well. it s going to be something we keep an eye on in a 12 hour period or so. late this evening into early tomorrow afternoon and then it is done for a while. so take a look. we will give you an idea of what is going on. temperatures are probably in the 50s area wide, up to 60 degrees in some parts of the region. 51 the dew point. relative humidity at 77%. winds from the east at 6 miles per hour, and 30.26 is the barometer reading. we ll take a look at some of this rain moving across the region and it is extending from west virginia, western virginia, and all the way back toward louisiana and the eastern edge of texas. and it is moving in this direction. just take a look at some of the brighter colors here. some very strong storms entrenched in this line. that s what we are keeping an eye on. it extends all the way across atlanta. it drifts right on across into the eastern seaboard. we are going to be watching this as it gets closer. temperatures area wide around the 58-degree mark. about the average, 68 in ocean city. 54 in oakland. a lot of areas falling somewhere between that 56 and rock hall and in columbia and in westminster. 61 down in the nation s capital. that east wind is bringing some cloud cover off the bay and some moisture riding along that. the bigger picture is showing the clouds are a direct relation to all this rain that is moving in. some of the activity really not making its way over as far as rain is concerned. the moisture is evaporating. the rain is really not made it into the region just yet. the way this is all going to time out. we ll start to see the rain get closer and closer by later this afternoon. it will stay with us through the overnight and then start to clear out by tomorrow morning and then by the early afternoon, we ll start to see some clearing and a warmup. this is all associated with another front. and cools us down just a little bit. with all that said, your sunset is at 6:56. a small craft advisory is in effect tonight. we are looking at 65 degrees today. rain this afternoon. 58 degrees tonight. rain could be heavy at times and tomorrow, up to about 75 degrees. a little rain in the morning, then clearing, breezy, and warmer. overall tomorrow, most of the activity today and tomorrow will be fine. it s that window of tonight that will be tricky. so if you are going out tonight, keep the umbrella handy. and close the windows. you are right about that. thank you. going green to save some green, did you know you can save money and protect the environment at the same time? here s mary with some ideas on how you can be an energy saver. with school now in full swing, the u.s. department of energy is urging administrators to look for ways to become smarter about energy. america schools spend $6 billion on energy costs. schools can save up to 30% by doing a few simple things. first, start an energy patrol staff by students. it monitors the use of lighting, heating, and other energy systems on a daily basis. and energy patrol in arkansas helped save money. another school district in illinois shut off the school s computers at the end of each day, saving over a million dollars in energy costs that year alone. the school districts used the savings to buy new books and new playground equipment. trying to help you be an energy saver. thanks, mary. if you have questions about how you can be an energy saver. we encourage you to send in questions to wjz.com. the link is at the top of the home page. next week, look for the answers from the energy expert. still ahead on eyewitness news saturday
