Green lights from the Weather Department today, just some pockets of fog first thing this morning and sunshine delays on your way home. Those are the kind of delays we like. Whether the kind of delays we have, lets go to traffic. If youre heading out the door, if youre traveling on 395 into and out of the district, everything is moving nicely for you, same with 95 across the wilson bridge into and out of virginia.

That is the mentor of Montgomery CountyPolice Officer noah leotta. He shared a passion for going after drunk drivers.

Montgomery county police say 47yearold louise volusko ran into the officer on thanksgiving. He refuse ed to take a breathalyzer test. His result s are still pending. Officer leotta is in the hospital with a traumatic head injury. Dont want to be any officer. But somebody you personally train, you rode with for a year, care about deeply, this was preventable by somebody not getting behind the wheel. If you would like to send wishes to leotta and his family, search officer leotta. A change in the consequence for the first officer charged in freddie grays death.

Hillary clinton says it plays into the hands of terrorists bernie sanders. Sanders tweeted martin omalley, former maryland governor, called him a fascist demagogue. What stands out here is the condemnation from his own party, from republicans. Carly fiorina calls this a dangerous overreaction to president obamas address earlier this week. Ted cruz says thats not my policy. Even conservative dick cheney is saying it stands against everything we stand for, everything that we believe.
