The number of flowers & American flags is growing outside the Farragut West Metro Station, where two members of the West Virginia National Guard were shot in an “ambush style” attack Wednesday.

National Guard Brig. General Leland Blanchard speaking about the impact this Thanksgiving on the families of the two West Virginia National Guard members who were shot.

If you are hitting the road for Thanksgiving Tuesday, these are the worst times to travel by car.

NEW: Because of the rain that is expected, the opening of the new 2.5 mile extension of the 495 Express Lanes in McLean will be delayed from 2 AM Saturday to 2 AM Sunday.

The ribbon on the 495NEXT Express Lanes extension has officially been cut, but again, they are not actually open yet, that is expected to happen tomorrow.

Ceremonial ribbon cutting happening this morning inside a Tysons hotel for the $660 million extension of the Beltway Express Lanes from near the Dulles Toll Road to the GW Pkwy. Weather permitting the lanes are expected to open tomorrow.

Officials did ceremonial taps. You may notice that a couple people had trouble getting it to work, that has happened to me on rail before, and seems to only occur when there is a long line of people waiting behind me 🤦🏼‍♂️ #wmata

Have you ever seen a president mascot try to get on a bus? Well now you have. #wmata
