Armed man arrested near White House over plot to kill Trump; deadly stabbing in Northwest DC library

In a D.C. library, the violent stabbing left one man dead and police searching for the killer. Fox 5's Tisha Lewis in Northwest tonight with the latest. Police tape behind me along with flashing lights outside the West End library turned crime scene. In fact, if you take a look right here, you can see detectives inside piecing together exactly what took place. D.C. police telling us there's. Searching through the West End Library surveillance video, searching for the suspect, interim police chief Jeffrey Carroll saying the stabbing took place inside the library and the victim, believed to be an adult male, was found inside the bathroom. Oh, sorry. Sometimes at night, especially after 12, a lot of homeless people here were fighting about something, screaming, swearing, punching even sometimes, and that's all I know. It's an issue. I mean, homelessness in D.C. is an issue, not just on this corner, so... It has, the library has to be more than just the only solution. The library is closed off right now, also closed. This is the scene, meanwhile, on the 2300 block of L Street Northwest. We're told the passerby who discovered the victim does not work at the library. After discovering the victim, that patron alerted staff at the library. The staff then contacted police. So we don't have any reason to believe that the stabbing happened outside. From the information that we do have at this point in time, it occurred in the restroom. Our libraries are safe spaces. Incidents like this are increasingly rare. Three and a half million people come to D.C. public libraries every single year, and those numbers are in our favor. Our libraries are safe, and this should never discourage anybody from visiting. That was a spokesperson for the West End Library. Meanwhile, we're told the victim was found on the ground inside the bathroom. The homicide unit is on the scene investigating. Again, a kitchen knife believed to be the weapon discovered on the scene. Right now, detectives again combing through the scene, also looking through some surveillance video. D.C. police are asking anyone who may have been here at the time of this incident and if they have any information to make sure that they call police. The motive, meanwhile, for this attack is under investigation. A Fox 5 News alert now. The Secret Service has arrested an armed suspect accused of threatening to kill President Trump.

Kenneth, it happened just before 2 a.m. here on I-95 in Stafford County at mile marker 141, just over my shoulder here. Now, police saying that the driver of the vehicle that slammed into the back of an SUV, he was speeding and driving while under the influence with a blood alcohol level of 0.17.

Hope they're ready for it. That's right. I'm glad that we don't have winter temperatures right now. No, we don't, yeah.

If fall is any indicator of our winter, well, it's already been very dry and mild. Not wet, but very mild. 68 was the high temperature today, still 6 degrees above normal, despite the clouds and the showers, which we needed. We really needed that rain. Didn't get much here in D.C. with the combination of... Thursday night and today, just over a tenth of an inch, but some places around the area got a healthy half inch plus. And so as we take a live look at Frederick, they were mostly dry all day as the front really reformed right over 95 and points east with the rain throughout the morning and afternoon. Temperatures this evening fall into the 50s, 56 there in Baltimore as we see the skies clear.
