Two men arrested for deadly Landover shooting; Rep. Ivey pushes for Greenbelt FBI HQ

And welcome in tonight, first on Fox, an explosion at a D.C. home. Now, the ATF is getting involved. Investigators, they are working to determine if the family who lived there was targeted, and if so, by who? Sydney Persing is live in Northwest now with the new details. Sydney? Well, Jim and Angie, we don't know what type of device this was, who put it here, or why, but we do now have surveillance video from the moment of the explosion, and we have just spoken with the woman who lives here. Watch closely and listen carefully to this surveillance video. That is the sound of what ATF investigators believe is an explosive device detonating at the front door of a Northwest D.C. home Tuesday. Somebody put an explosive device on my door. The woman who lives at this home on Kenyon Street Northwest with her six kids did not want to show her face, but told us they were home and upstairs when they heard it. It sounded like a bomb. It shook my house. When we came down, we seen nothing but smoke and glass everywhere and my door hanging. Investigators can't say for sure if this family was targeted, but did confirm it does appear that device was deliberately left at the front door. Thankfully, nobody was injured. I do know right now I don't feel safe in this home. I don't feel safe anymore. I lived here three years. I never had this problem. This is the first time that I feel like my safety is being jeopardized and that I can't trust too many people now because I don't know what's going on and I don't know who's doing it. She said the same thing happened. Three weeks ago, another explosion in late October, one that knocked the glass out of her front window. Who could or would want to hurt her or her family? Not once, but twice, she said. She just doesn't know. Whatever it is, a bomb, firecrackers, whatever they're using, I'm not sure. But they did it the first time, they did it the second time, I don't want it to be a third time. So we're moving. And that family has moved out tonight. They have left. They said they're just not going to chance it, as it's obviously a very scary situation. We know that when the ATF was here on scene, they collected several pieces of evidence. Those are off-site now and being processed. Agents stress this is the very beginning stages of an investigation. They are actively working leads, they say, at this hour. Jim and Angie. Wow. A northwest D.C. neighborhood demanding more be done to keep families safe there after a series of shootings. For the past two years, the LeDroit Park neighborhood has seen repeated shootings, including one just a few weeks ago. We know that at least two people were hurt since early 2025. In one shooting back in May, police recovered nearly 40 shell casings. I believe we need to do what Baltimore's been doing, which is to address root causes by offering a real carrot and a real stick to the vanishingly small number of people who are actually responsible for this kind of gun violence. It's a small number of people. The community knows who they are. The police know who they are. They just need to focus on those individuals rather than just trying to, like, beef up arrest numbers more generally. Well, the MPD says that they've stepped up patrols in that area, added surveillance cameras and brought in specialized units. 10.04 right now on this Wednesday night, a live look over at the Case Memorial Bridge on this Veterans Day across our region. Yeah, and so far, so good. Things have remained dry. Mike Thomas is standing by with a forecast. We might need that umbrella, though, coming up. Yep, probably need a little bit tomorrow here, Angie. In fact, tomorrow, probably the highest likelihood of the next seven days or so that we'll need your umbrella here in D.C. I don't even think you'll need it all day. I think that it comes in waves. What we get tomorrow afternoon. Today, great day. Veterans Day, wonderful temperature. 69 degrees D.C. Dulles 68. Baltimore 67 degrees. So very comfortable, sun-filled, and just a beautiful D.C. day here. Live look at the wheel, which was displaying that American flag for Veterans Day all day. But now things have slowed down there, or rather stopped for the evening down there at National Harbor. So 57 degrees at Reagan National. Dulles at 57. BWI at their good Marshall 54. Temperature's much slower to fall tonight. Things are a touch more humid. There's some humidity out there in the atmosphere and some cloud cover that's rolled on in ahead of the storm system that's going to bring us our next chance for rain showers. You can see that milky white right there on satellite and radar. A lot of clouds up and down the I-95 right now. A bit of a break in the action just off to the west along the I-81, but more clouds will fill that gap as we work our way through the evening hours tonight or overnight hours tonight. There's your incoming cold front. Had some severe weather with it, believe it or not. Earlier today in parts of Indiana and western Kentucky, still some intense storms with it late this evening. Though all we're expecting here in D.C. is some rain showers. You can kind of see the grouping here, right? During tomorrow morning, best chance, maybe right around the morning, commute hours for the first batch of showers that come through. I don't know if we go mostly sunny, but probably some peaks of sunshine here and there as we head through lunchtime. And then another chance for some rain showers moving in during those afternoon hours. We'll show it to you on Futurecast, take you hour by hour. And behind this. A lot of cold comes down. Talk about that weekend chill in just a few. Gus? This just in. The search is underway for the driver who crashed into a Prince George's County dry cleaners, then drove off. This all happened at the Wells Quality Cleaners along Sergeant Road in Chillum just after 7 p.m. The collision caused some major damage to the building. The driver left the scene by the time police got there. The important part, though, is that nobody was hurt. A tragic loss tonight in Gaithersburg. A Northwest High School junior dead after a crash early Wednesday morning. Fox 5's Regina Ureta is live tonight in Gaithersburg with what we know from authorities and people who knew the student. Yeah. And Northwest High School identified the victim as 17 year old Ethan Ramos. As you can imagine, this has been incredibly difficult for the parents, loved ones and classmates who are struggling to process the loss of someone so young. Now, we received the letter that was sent to parents from the high school. It reads in part, Ethan was a very loved member of Northwest High School, as well as Keensview Middle School and Great Seneca Creek Elementary School. He was an avid swimmer and a young man who engaged in rich friendships. Staff remember him as a kind, thoughtful, and respectful student. He was a valued friend to many, and he will be deeply missed. The crash happened early Wednesday morning near Seneca Creek Trail. Montgomery County Police say officers responded to reports of a crash involving one vehicle. When they arrived, they found a damaged Jeep and the driver, believed to be Ethan Ramos, thrown from the car. Ramos was taken to the hospital with serious injuries, but later died. Now, tonight, Fox 5 spoke with family members who tell us they're not ready to speak publicly. I also spoke with his swim coach at Quince Orchard Swim Academy, the swim club Ramos was a part of. Coach Shannon tells us they canceled all practices today out of respect for the students and families grieving this loss. I'm also told by peers that he had just turned 17 last month. He loved driving his Jeep. He loved sports. Again, a very young man with a life ahead of him gone too soon. And this community is in mourning for this loss. Jim and Angie. And those aren't the only stories we're following for you tonight. A teen boy hit by a car outside of Chantilly High School has died. That crash happened a week ago today along Stringfellow Road. The teen, who's not been named, was trying to cross the road outside of a marked crosswalk when he was hit. The driver of that car stayed at the scene. Human remains found in a wooded area along Spout Run Parkway. Arlington County Police say that they were discovered early this morning. They have not been identified yet, but are being evaluated at a medical examiner's facility. The discovery led to Spout Run Parkway being temporarily closed this morning. Two men facing murder charges tonight in a Landover shooting. Police say Corey Johnson and Aaron Johnson knew the victim. They allegedly got into an argument with Christopher Higgins last week. He was shot and killed at a home on Belhaven Drive. Both suspects being held without bond. A new opponent against President Trump's arch, the Kennedys. Nine members of the storied political family joined that lawsuit, aiming to stop construction of the 250-foot monument. The family claims the project would block views of thousands of veterans buried at Arlington National Cemetery, including President John F. Kennedy's gravesite. A temporary restraining order remains in effect for another week. I was very glad that they have weighed in. A lot of this is emotional. This is the emotional empathy that people feel for the tens of thousands that are buried there. The Golden Arch is not a project of the United States because the people haven't passed it. And so it would be unfathomable to me that he would get away with doing that. Well, the White House is pushing back, calling the Kennedy family's involvement unfortunate. The suit does not include Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Mississippi electing its first black senator since the late 1800s. Tonight, the Associated Press projected that Democrat Scott Colombe officially flipped the seat more than a week after the midterm elections. Only a few thousand votes separated him and Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith. At first, it was only about 100 or so votes, sweeping wins for the Democrats who will take control of Congress next year. There is still another Senate race to be called. That's out of Alaska, where Democrat Mary Peltola is widening her lead over incumbent Republican Daniel S. Sullivan and potential spoiler, Daniel J. Sullivan. Their votes combined, still not reaching Peltola's total. Meanwhile, the White House, with a warning for Democrats, don't launch investigations against us. White House counsel Will Scharf claiming some efforts to intimidate administration officials could amount to criminal conduct after the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, California's Robert Garcia, told Trump officials to, quote, lawyer up. Donald Trump is clearly hiding something. We're not gonna be threatened or intimidated because we are demanding accountability and oversight. What we've seen over the past several days and even over the past several weeks are outright threats, many by elected members of Congress and some senators against anybody that's conservative and anybody that happens to be a Republican. This follows Republican investigations into President Biden and his family when they had control of Congress. Democrats about to investigate everything from Trump's business dealings to The Republicans handling of the Epstein investigation as well as ICE operations. Maryland Congressman Glenn Ivey says the incoming Democratic House majority offers a chance to push the FBI's Greenbelt headquarters project forward again. Ivey represents the area and has joined Maryland's delegation in fighting to keep the project there. Back in August, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration's plan to move the bureau into the Reagan building in D.C., ruling the switch was unlawful. It's ready to go. It's next to a metro. You can build the type of Campus facility that gives you the type of national security that you'd need for an installation like that, which you can't do in DC. That was one of the big problems there. Everything's ready to go. You can catch my full interview with Congressman Ivey tonight on the Final Five at 1130.
