Both alqaida and the Islamic State had threatened attacks in france and today, supporters celebrated the slayings. There was, however, instant worldwide condemnation including from president obama. To see the kind of cowardly evil attacks that took place today, i think, reinforces once again why its so important for us to while their getaway car was found, the suspects were not and the fear of other lone wolf type attacks increased. They have been inspired by things they see in the internet social media in literature, without accepting the direct order. In new york, stepped up security outside the french consulate.

You can see its trunk and its roof stood no chance in this crash. A mysterious motive in this Shopping Plaza parking lot. Police say the driver of this dump truck intentionally revved accelerated and then slammed into two parked squad cars. Both officers narrowly escaped impact. Id say the car is totalled. Lieutenant Bill Alexander says detectives are considering all motives. Theres no evidence at this time to suggest this has anything to do with the narrative going on across the nation. But obviously, particularly in light of and given the fact that two new york policemen were tragically and horribly murdered, we cannot discount that possibility. The departments Crash Reconstruction Team was called. It used spray paint to mark where all three vehicles came to a stop. Oh wow Margaret Fisher was leaving costco when she saw the aftermath. Wow. Thats horrible. The dump truck is registered to allstar utility company. A call to the Construction BusinessDistrict Heights officened with a click. Certainly, the investigators will be working hard to ask him some of those questions to feel why exactly he felt the need to take a heavy, huge dump truck use that as a weapon and try to attack our officers. Its a shame, you know because these guys are putting their lives on the line for us every day. Shameful. What is this world coming to . Now, this is one of the many surveillance cameras in the Woodmore Town Center parking lot. Were told this entire crash was caught on camera. Still, no name for the dump truck driver. But he is under arrest facing some very serious charges, possibly attempted murder. Were live in glenarden tonight, im kevin lewis, abc 7 news. All right, kevin, thank you.

But theres Something Else that schools and businesses even parents with playgrounds and toys can do to help prevent illnesses from spreading. With flu cases continuing to rise, a lot of organizations doing everything they can to help fight germs. We stopped by one Childrens Museum today taking some extra effort to explain in todays health matters. It is no easy task to keep areas where kids play free of germs. And, perhaps, nobody knows that more than owen and olivers mom who also happens to be a family physician. Every time were going anywhere, i have Hand Sanitizer on hand and we wash our hands about 85 times a day so we definitely try to keep it out of our house. The good news today her 20monthold twin boys and every other child here is getting a clean ball of health, you might say. You see, long before playtime, the team here at this Childrens Museum scoops all the old balls and puts them into the dishwasher for cleaning. This happens quite often, not just for the balls but also for anything else kids might put in their mouths. Everything from fake food to fake rocks. Does get washed every single night. But this is also a brand new ball dumping day. Every 18 months the balls are replaced with brand new ones. All in an effort to keep everything from the flu to other viruses anywhere but in this ball dropping good time. And while this may not be your definition of having a real ball, you might say they actually looked into this scientifically to see how often these need to be changed. Actually had a microbiological firm come in and they tested after we had the balls out for a month at a time how clean were the balls . We need to get them cleaned more often or less often . It appears they found the right formula. A big relief to dr. Tiffany justin today. She says mainly because they had a stomach virus over christmas break. We actually all did so now that everyone is well of course keeping everyone well is always a bit of a tossup. Now, kids also need to wash their hands before and after this playtime.

And coming your way tonight at 6 00 protecting the less fortunate in dangerously cold weather and learn how the a local former College Basketball player got a couple of breaks and now hes paying it forward in his own way. Hes been involved in the youth but now hes started a Nonprofit Organization that uses basketball to engage these kids in school and inspire them to reach higher. And that makes Donald Curtis this weeks harris hero. Hey hey i like that. Perfect four days a week youll see coach curtis as the boys call him, playing basketball at the Richard England boys and girls clubhouse in northeast d. C. But its more than just playing ball. Its part of a program that Donald Curtis started in 2013. He calls it soul. Students organized to understand leadership. And it targets youth in low income neighborhoods in d. C. s ward seven. To me basketball is a tool to engage kids. Engage them to focus not just on the Basketball Court but in school by providing oneonone coaching. Mainly, its about being someone who cares. To me its letting the kids know that people see you, you know, you mean something to somebody. Its a message thats making an impact on the boys. Help me in school and helped me like i mean whenever i need help because i had his number. Whenever i need help i call him. Get back on track. We cant do good in school, makes us want to do good on the court. You cant, without school you cant go to the nba. Curtis credits the basketball coach when he was in high school with making a difference in his life. And now he says its his turn to be the mentor. When i looked at the kids i see a positive future. I see where they can go. I think i see things. On three. One, two, three raiders there you go. Now, curtis now devotes all of his time to the organization and the youngsters there and a little over a year hes seen this program grow from six to 65 youths. And he says he hopes to expand the programs there to work with more children in the future and reform. Absolutely. Leon, thank you. Coming up next on abc 7 news at 5 00, there is a new twist on an old spam. The warning signs to be aware to make sure thieves dont get your money. And a local politicians angry Facebook Post turns his name into a globally trended hashtag. Im brad bell in frederick. Coming up well tell you what a Frederick CountyCouncil Members message to a newspaper sparked a viral story that is spreading around the world believe it or not. I know. Its amazing. That message dont ever use kirby delauterss name without permission. Maryland bureau chief brad bell is live tonight with what sparked all of this. Brad . Well kirby delauters tells us tells through a spokesperson actually says that he was frustrated by what he believed was biassed reporting by the Frederick News post and the last straw came when they did an article about his loss of Parking Spaces here at the Frederick County office building. He says his name was in the article and he didnt like it. I tried to talk to Frederick County republican councilman kirby delauters today. I went to his house. I asked for him at the business he owns. Looking for kirby delauters. Hes not here. I emailed him and left messages. No sign of him. No messages returned. To be clear, i dont have his permission to use his name in this story. Now, on the Frederick News post recently included kirby delauters name in a story, he posted this threat on his facebook page. Use my name again and youll be paying for an attorney. Your rights stop where mine start. You know at first, it was funny. Terry headly is managing editor of the Frederick News post and he points out that delauters is a public official and the paper has every right and an obligation to report on delauters actions. So stupid. I dont even know how to respond to a request like that. The paper did respond with this online editorial mentioning kirby delauters name more than two dozen times. It went viral, the most tweeted story in the u. S. Yesterday. Kirbydelauters has people talking. I mean, unfortunately, i think he didnt think before he spoke. I feel like you know just kind of ignorance at its highest. Now, billy sleef, his republican colleague on the council says delauters was just kidding. Biggest joke is on the liberal media. He said it on a Facebook Post. The claim that this was all a joke was made about an hour and a half ago. 30 minute ago kirby delauters issued a statement and he says of course, as i am an elected official the Frederick News post has the right to use my name in any article related to the running of the county. That comes with the job. So yes, my statement to the Frederick News post regarding the use of my name was wrong and inappropriate. The statement also says delauters says over the years, hes written many angry emails, he says nothing good ever comes of it. Hes just got to learn the lesson that you got to wait a while before you hit that send button. I think he probably learned it now. In frederick, brad bell, abc 7 news. Tough way to learn it. All right, thanks, brad. Now, to a 7 on your side consumer alert. Audio equipment maker monster is suing apples beats for an undisclosed sum of money.
