Newscast: June 14, 2017 10 am News

National politics frequently intersect with local news in Washington, DC, a city teeming with names in the national spotlight. On one Wednesday morning, that intersection brought us to a Little League field in a residential section of Alexandria, where a man opened fire on lawmakers practicing for the annual Congressional baseball game. Our newscast features a reporter on the scene, another reporter compiling early descriptions from those lawmakers, and traffic advisories in the area. The busy morning also saw the return of Otto Warmbier, a University of Virginia student held captive in North Korea, early reports of the deadly Grenfell Tower fire in London, and results from the previous night’s primary elections in the Virginia Gubernatorial race.
