she was going to end it all. we also have reason to believe that kazemi recently learned before this day that she believed mcnair was involved in another woman. and that, too participated in her state of mind, we think. >> reporter: and police say kazemi also had mounting financial problems. she was facing a 2-fold increase in her rent. and trying to increase car payment. one that she and mcnair apparently had together but she was make the payments on. reporting live, adam may, wjz eyewitness news. police had some concerns in the delayed and somewhat odd call mcnair's friends made to 911. updating the breaking news last hour. a huge fire. sky eye chopper 13 was first on the scene. captain mike perry with the latest on the fire house. >> reporter: fire eventually went to three alarms. this being the suburban house.

night, protested at the school this morning. they say the warning to close didn't come fast enough. but now they're scrambling to find a replacement. >> this is a hardship. the children have had no opportunity to shadow it at another school. we're just kind of left hanging. >> reporter: towson catholic has no money. because tuition is the only source of income. and it's in deep debt to the tune of $810,000. and last school year, it lost 81 students, the direct result of a sluggish economy. students were enrolled last year. and when the economy took a downturn, they stopped paying tuition. >> towson catholic has notable alumni. the school says it has asked for help and received no response. >> just is a sad thing to let this whole thing fold up overnight, with nobody trying at least to keep it open one more year. and try to come up with a plan. >> reporter: a large number of the students don't live near the school.

many of them commute from the city. baltimore mayor sheila dixon says those students may find replacements closer to home. >> we have a number of grade schools, high schools in baltimore city that i think could be very beneficial to some of those students who aren't going to be able to attend there. >> reporter: and archbishop edwin o'brien has sent laters to all of the parents and families. he promises to work with them to find other catholic high schools to attend. he says if they choose a catholic high school, he will lock in their tuition of $9,500 a year. >> students and alumni are planning another protest next week. our string of incredible july evenings. pleasant temperatures, low humidity. it's unbelievable really. we're live with first warning weather complete coverage. meteorologist bernadette woods and bob turk have the updated forecast. it's beautiful and cool nights. open the windows. really dragging out some of the cool air. going to be beautiful. 79 now.

sudden, erratic turns difficult to predict. they continue to move birds and other animals away from aircraft. >> it works very hard with airlines and with the faa and other parties to help minimize the risk and the potential impact between aircraft and birds. >> reporter: primarily by firing off 12 stationary propane cannons, near runways. and mobile noise makings, as flocks move from one spot to another. >> but sometimes, lethal measures are also used. >> the birds really get the picture if you do shoot some of the birds from the flock. particularly with starlings. if you remove some of the birds, the rest of the flock gets the picture. it's very effective. >> reporter: but effective still isn't 100% guaranteed. alex demetrick, wjz eyewitness news. well, birds aren't the only animals being chased off runways. deer, foxes, even groundhogs.

time spent. >> it's backed up. there's a lost construction. >> believe it or not, it reflects a decrease in congestion. >> we're seeing that more and more people may find themselves on transit, rather than on the road. pretty much every person that is on a bus or light rail train or metro train may be one less car that is on the roads. >> reporter: but marylanders like becky smith say sometimes they have to drive. this sluggish economy axed her job. >> i'm spending mono gas to go -- money on gas to go to job interviews. and that money is so dear that when there is a lot of congestion tmakes me stress out. >> reporter: baltimore city recently announced plans to build five round abouts. but planners say there is not a quick fix. >> i don't think there is any total resolution. what you do is try to work with expanding your transit capacity. maximize the capacity you have on your roadways. >> reporter: in the meantime,

waiting behind the wheel is a reality drivers have to face. >> reporter: and our neighbors in d.c. have it even worse there. an average driver spends 62 hours and 42 gallons of gas waiting to get through. for now, we are live in baltimore county. weijia jiang, wjz eyewitness news. >> that's amazing. i have some neighbors who actually work in d.c. and i don't know how in the world they do it every day. >> me either. >> the report ranks los angeles number 1 for having the most congested roads. the baltimore city council is moving full speed ahead on its plan to install speed cameras. if the bill passes, the cameras could be placed near school zones and construction sites by october. anyone caught going at least 12 miles over the speed limit, will automatically receive a $40 ticket. it is being called unity in the community. one of the oldest cities in the community was damaged by

tap. all depends on the winds. if we totally clear up, woo could get down to the low 80s. we're at 79. low, low dew point. by saturday night, i think the dew point is going to be 68, 69. and it's going to feel pretty sticky. very comfortable. light little breeze. visible satellite. you see the satellite. around to illinois and iowa. that's where we're seeing shower activity with the warm front. that will approach us saturday night. it will bring us some clouds. scattered shores and thundershowers. saturday night into sunday morning before it clears out again late sunday. to our north, it has been miss miserable for us. great-looking weather. and tonight, more of the same.

baltimore. we do know that bge is making progress here in getting the gas turned off. they said they were going to have some folks try to get down here and get this gas line turned off. the reason they stopped the rail traffic is because as the trains go by, the electric trains, they cause arcing from where the tops of the trains touch the overhead lines. and they're afraid that that arcing will cause an explosion with this large amount of volume of gas in the area. again, they have evacuated some buildings nearby. these are mostly business areas and warehouse areas. but the road is closed in both directions. they have a fire command post set up. police arriving on the scene. lots of bge folks and amtrak police remain on the scene. it is a very big deal. and it is causing a major impact to rail traffic as well as to this area. back to you on tv hill. >> thank you very much. captain mike perry. of course, eyewitness news will bring you the latest on the
