accountable. >> reporter: as children leave for the weekend, parents are receiving a letter announcing the appointment of an acting school principal, john brooks, to help the school work through these difficult times. the school's principal placed on leave after she was accused of failing to report the alleged abuse. what about removing the principal? was that the right move? >> yeah. that was the right move. >> reporter: anybody else need to do? >> anybody else helping him do whatever he was doing, i think all of them should have been fired. >> reporter: last night a committee of the school board met to discuss the system's policy on volunteers in school. many parents say if carraway, again a volunteer at one point, had not been allowed to be alone with kids, the crimes may not have been committed. 17 alleged victims ages 9 to 13 have come forward so far. now, not all the news here is bad. some safety changes have already been implemented it school. we're live in glenarden. darcy spencer, news4. a little over an hour ago president obama and first lady michelle obama joined a large crowd at the supreme court to pay tribute to the late antonin scalia. the president and first lady observed a moment of silence next to justice scalia's casket and then they reflected before a portrait of him. >> taking a live look now, the body of the long-time justice will lie in repose at the great hall of the high court until 9:00 tonight. it was first scheduled to last until 8:00 this evening, but because there have been such long lines, the hours were extended. president ronald reagan appointed scalia to the supreme court in 1986. he was the longest serving member on the current high court until his death on saturday. scalia is well known both for his sense of humor as well as for being an unapologetic but fair conservative influencing a wide range of issues. clerks lined the steps as ska loo yaes flag-draped casket was carried into the great hall. derrick ward has been talking to mourners today. he joins us live now outside the court. derrick? >> reporter: you heard jim talk about the length of that line, and what we see here is deceptively short. actually the line extends all the way down east capitol to the rear of the court and there's another branch of the line that goes down first street and it goes all the way in front of the library of congress, and, of course, this is just indicative of the people who would wait a long time just to get in for the viewing. justice ska lee's body arrived at 9:30 sharp. inside the grand hall of the high court, scalia's coffin was placed in repose upon the same catafalque, the wooden platform, on which president lincoln's coffin rested. outside the line began forming hours before the mo reminiscent for the one for chief justice william rehnquist when he died in 2005. >> just to come up to honor a man who is serving the country. >> reporter: for scalia that service at the court included being the standard bearer for conservatism. the reagan appointee was the longest serving justice and his opinions on and off the bench were animated and often controversial. >> you do what you do and when usual dead, you know, you say you always honor the dead. >> reporter: and that was the order of this day. black mourning cloth aborned scalia's seat on the bench. flags out the court and around the city at half-staff. >> it's very somber. he was a great man. he was a legal giant. i feel really honored to have had the opportunity to say good-bye. >> reporter: and while the country and often the court would cleave along partisan lines on social issues, larry from falls church says the more liberal counterparts show what it stood for. >> to be good natured and yet disagree. it's very important. and i think in a 5-4 decision, obviously it makes a very big difference. >> reporter: and, again, that extended -- the extended hours for the viewing have happened because of this line being as long as it is, probably an unexpected outpouring of grief and remembrance for justice scalia. coming up on news4 at 6:00, we'll have more on the foenlks o are here and what's going on inside. derrick ward, news4. >> thank you. it's looking more like the man charged in the d.c. mansion murders will be going to trial. daron wint pleaded not guilty before a d.c. superior court judge today. mark segraves was in that courtroom this morning and joins us live with answers to some questions people have been asking. mark? >> reporter: good evening, jim. you know, the district does not have the death penalty, so the most wint faces is life in prison without the possibility of parole. legal experts today tell us that because of that, it's no surprise that he pled not guilty and doesn't appear to be cooperating with prosecutors. daron wint was arrested last year just days after the bodies of savvas savopoulos, his wife amy, their 10-year-old son philip and the family's housekeeper were discovered by firefighters inside the family home in upper northwest. wint's dna was found on pizza crust at the crime scene. >> having his dna in the house i think is pretty slam dunk. i'd be happy if i was the prosecutor going on that alone, but i think there's a lot of other circumstantial evidence that puts him there. >> reporter: wint tripped over his shackles this morning as he entered the courtroom. a court-martial caught him as he amy amy's father was in the courtroom. family members and the prosecutors declined to speak as they left the court. prosecutors say they believe wint had help but so far no one else has been charged. legal experts say because d.c. has the death penalty there's no reason for wint to cooperate with prosecutors or to take a plea deal. >> he has no reason not to roll the dice. there's nothing to be gained by pleading out for him. they can't offer him a deal that would ever see him outside of a jail again. >> reporter: not only does he have no real incentive to take a plea deal, the civil rights attorney who opposes the death penalty said if d.c. did allow for capital punishment, prosecutors might have more leverage to get wint to tell them who else was involved in the murders. >> in that case they would have something to hold over him, he would have something to lose, his life. >> reporter: now, wint is due back in court almost exactly a year to the day that he was arrested. now, as for the home behind me, it's been sold and the new owners have applied for a permit to tear it down and build a new house. coming up at 6:00, why other states that don't have the death penalty are able to charge the death penalty in cases like the boston marathon bomber. pat, back to you. >> marksegraves, thank you. new at 5:00, prosecutors in montgomery county have dropped charges in a man accused of a deadly shooting. a grand jury declined to charge him for a shooting at his home. we're told that shooting was in self-defense after a guest threatened him. that guest mario perez was larger and able to inflict harm and had a blood alcohol level that may have been three times the legal limit. montgomery county police are looking for more people who may have had encounters with this man. william brown, jr. was arrested and charged with three sex assaults against women in investigators say he inappropriately touched two women at the safeway on georgia avenue and a third woman across the street near the midcounty regional services center. the family of a woman who disappeared from her northwest d.c. home seven years ago is holding a vigil tomorrow. pamela butler was a government analyst. she disappeared in february of 2009 under suspicious circumstances. surveillance cameras at her home on fourth street captured her going into the house but never leaving. the vigil will take place at 4:00 p.m. tomorrow near butler's home at the corner of 4th and oglethorpe street in northwest. and the race for the white house now all eyes will be on south carolina where the republicans have a primary and nevada where the democrats will caucus. at stake for the gop, 50 delegates. 29 of those will go to the winner of the primary. the rest allocated by congressional district. the latest polls have donald trump in front of the pack with ted cruz and marco rubio right candidates had to nevada for a caucus next tuesday. for the democrats, there are 43 delegates at stake in nevada where polls have a dead heat between hillary clinton and bernie sanders. 35 are based on the popular vote, 8 are superdelegates. but unlike south carolina, delegates aren't bound to a candidate until may. the next contest, by the way, after nevada is one week from tomorrow in south carolina for the democrats where clinton just picked up an endorsement from long-time congressman jim clyburn. well, turning to the weather, doug, we are in for a weekend that we're looking forward to and we're looking beyond the weekend. so give us the details. >> well, i'll

the zika response team from the world health organization says he's predicting a fantastic olympics for rio this summer. the doctor says he believes most of the virus will be, in his words, way down

something like 4,000 people who have been here to pay their respects. the court is actually going to keep the building open an extra hour. they're going to go until 9:00 to accommodate all the people

think this case can actually be solved. so tonight on news4 at 11:00, we're going to show you what they need to crack the case and why police think it's possible the murder weapon could have ended up

right. about 17.5 million people are victims of identity theft according to the federal government. that means millions of people are at risk of someone else filing their tax return and stealing tax refunds. >> i got an e-mail from my accountant and said i cannot submit your return. >> reporter: rod's accountant couldn't submit he and his wife's tax return last year because someone else did it first. someone stole the couple's identities and used their social security numbers to file their federal and d.c. tax returns. >> it's been quite a headache. >> reporter: last year the federal trade commission received nearly nearly 50% increase over the year before. >> and the number one type of identity theft was tax fraud. >> reporter: rosario mendez is an attorney with the ftc. >> some of the ways they could possibly get your social security is through a data breach or, you know, by getting your information somehow and they file a tax return on your behalf and steal your refund. >> reporter: and that's exactly what happened to this family. >> somebody else intercepted by tax return and said i would like a refund. >> reporter: a refund of about $2,000. in a separate case last month a judge sentenced a d.c. man to prison for stealing more than $31,500 in other people's tax refunds. he admitted to working with more than a dozen other people to file at least 12,000 returns using stolen identities. >> file your tax returns as soon as possible because that way you else is going to file the tax returns. >> reporter: the federal government acknowledged the tax i.d. theft but eight months later their problem has not been resolved. the couple followed the district's instructions which included filing a police report. >> just like if somebody had broken into your house. >> reporter: instead, the couple received bills, money owed to d.c. including interest, penalties, and even a collection fee. >> they have threatened to send my case to a collection agency. >> reporter: so the family wrote a check for more than $1,000. >> just to avoid a collection agency ruining the credit score. >> reporter: we asked d.c. why the case has taken so long to resolve and why he received a collection notice. the district told us tax return fraud cases can take a long time to resolve and each case is different. but after our call, the d.c. tax office says it will take a closer look at the mr. case and will expedite the process. the district told news4 as a result of our call it will also review all d.c. returns tagged as potential fraud. in the end, ngiam's efforts paid off. >> i did everything i could possibly do. >> and then some. he was looking for a tax fraud attorney when we met him, but since we called d.c. and explained his situation, it looks like the district is going to take care of his case. >> and susan, not just this guy's case, right? >> i know. which is amazing. i mean really i think what we did with our phone call was really make them aware that there are issues out there, that the process is taking a long, long time for these folks and this is something that really can take months to clear up, and i think the district realized we need to speed up this process. >> so file now. that's a big takeaway from that. don't put it off. >> absolutely. this weekend sit down and do it if you have all of your w-2s. it's imperative do you it. we also want know we have a lot more information for you on our nbc washington app. just click on search for tax fraud. >> susan hogan, working for you. >> that's right. >> thank you. turning now to the

had blowing, that's going to settle down even more. your temperatures between 35 and 40 degrees for the evening. in fact, for the whole overnight. our temperatures are going to hold steady in the mid
