first, we will hear from the representative of the gray family. who has remarks to make and then i'll make these remarks and then we'll take a handful of questions. >> my name is richard. i'm one of freddie's two fathers. we are satisfied with today's charges. these charges are an important step in getting justice for freddie. we ask whoever comes to our city, a city that we love a city that we live in come in peace. and if you are not coming in peace, please don't come at all because this city needs to get back to work. the last thing that freddie would want is to see the hard working people of baltimore lose their jobs and businesses because of his death. you all know that would totally defeat the purpose of what we are trying to work towards. remember, without justice, there is no peace. but let us have peace and the pursuit of justice. thank you. >> today is a momentous step on the road to justice for freddie. in losing freddie the gray family has been put through real hell. one can only imagine the tremendous pain and sumping that this family has endured. for the parents, a loss of a son and the sister's loss of a brother. freddie was taken too early and too horrifically. and the worst of the gray's family days in the history of this family have been the last three weeks. today has given the gray family a measure of hope. we thank the state's attorney and her team for their unprecedented courage and their measured and professional response to this crisis. they have our gratitude in their pursuit of justice. however we must be mindful that this is a first step not the last. but while the state's attorney's office continues to do its work the community, this community, and other communities like it all over the country have much work to do of their own. the overwhelming number of people who have protested over these many days did not know freddie personally. but they and the people of philadelphia new york, cincinnati and numerous other cities numerous other towns and numerous rural areas, by expressing their outrage that there are too many freddie grays. and if freddie gray is not to die in vain we must seize this opportunity to reform police departments throughout this country. so that there are no more days and times like this. it is now time for every city including our own to make all citizens of this country treated with human dignity. unaffected by color religion gender, income or of the other irrelevant differences that wrongly exclude them from the human family. let us make this the overarching meaning of justice for freddie. freddie's family is gratified that the ministers, elected officials and others have stepped into the streets to counsel peace. but the family is especially gratified that the young people of america are showing us the way. they are firm, strong and bound together in a mission for change. young people have friends, classmates relatives, spouses and co-workers from all races all colors and all sexual orientations, all religions and all incomes who have enabled them to see with unmistakable and unprecedented clarity that we are all members of one race. the human race. with every ounce of their being, they expressed this universal desire for one country, one people and they will fight peacefully until that goal is realized. with all these unprecedented experiences comes enormous responsibility. because most of us have never been in a place like this before. our young people must show us the way. as few of the greatest leaders in recent history, gandhi, martin luther king and nelson mandela have taught us the only lasting response to either is love. freddie gray's family thanks you for the love you have shown them. now, let us all show them the fruits of that love. real and lasting progress. the lasting changes that we make will be freddie's legacy. and the changes we make in baltimore can set the example for this nation. we can start with body cameras. we can continue with tough and enforceable regulations for the on switch never to be turned to the off switch. a new culture of policing. yes, a new culture of policing. where good policing is rewarded and bad policing is punished. where bad policemen fear committing misconduct because good policemen no longer fear preventing it correcting it reporting it or prosecuting it. the blue wall of silence which makes policemen wrongly conspire to conceal evil must come down. in the days ahead, we will be inviting police experts community leaders, rank and file officers and other who have seriously studied what must be done to join us in what we hope will be a new baltimore to create and implement these reforms so that they will be a model for the nation. we must seize this moment. only this kind of lasting propping are truly lasting progress. a permanent lasting progress. can assure freddie gray's family and the rest of us that freddie's death was not in vain. let us pray for freddie's family and let us pray that god will provide us to do his will or her will. in the pursuit of justice. so that this country will surely be and truly be a place where everybody regardless of their color or whatever difference may be superficially apparent can get liberty and justice for all. thank you very much and we'll take your questions. brad: that is attorney billy murphy that represents the family speaking here and reacting to the charges brought against six police officers today. he's hoping for lasting change and grateful that the charges have been brought. we heard from richard shiply the stepfather of freddie gray and he said essentially the same thing, hoping for lasting change. grateful to the community but he also had some very sharp words with regard to protests and the potential for additional violence. he said if you don't plan on coming in peace to this town don't come at all. we want to get back to what we were talking about at the beginning and that is extraordinary turn of events today that saw charges levied against the police officers who handled freddie gray on that april 12th morning. the state's attorney marilyn mosby, 35 years old, stunning the world by saying that based on the evidence she had from the medical examiner her own investigation and the police investigation that she was ready to charge the police officers involved. >> the findings of our comprehensive, thorough and independent investigation coupled with the medical examiner's determination that mr. gray's death was a homicide which we received today has led us to believe that we have probable cause to file criminal charges. brad: and so those officers were charged. all six of them have now turned themselves in. all are suspended without pay. state's attorney saying that from the get go there was absolutely no reason to arrest mr. gray and those officers caused his death. leon, we want to head back to you. leon: all right. you got it brad. as you mentioned, that announce want this morning by state attorney mosby was stunning and it elicited reaction and responses from across the country. here's what president obama had to say today from the white house. president obama: what i think the people of baltimore want more than anything else is the truth. that's what people around the country expect. and to the extent that it's appropriate, this administration will help local officials get to the bottom of exactly what happened. leon: that announcement today no doubt is going to add some extra fuel to the excitement that's been building throughout the day in anticipation of the protests that are being planned. other demonstrations are still on schedule to be held today. as a matter of fact there's one other way right now downtown and we also have gotten word about a protest that's planned tonight at cold spring lane. we'll see how this old feeds into what we see play out tonight here. suzanne kennedy has been gathering and checking the reaction from the streets here all day since that announcement was made this morning and suzanne is here now to share what she's hearing. what are you hearing right now, suzanne? suzanne: we are hearing a sense of relief here tonight. i'm here at pennsylvania avenue and west north avenue. let me around here and show you what's going on. people are gathered at all of the corners and we have sort of a carnival like atmosphere here. this has been going on for six hours here. i want to take you back and you show what was going on a little bit earlier when all of this started today. we have video to show you and earlier today, we saw rival gangs coming together right here in the middle of this intersection talking about what can be done in the future. how they can improve things in light of what has happened over the last week here. people were moving through the area rallying together pumping their fists in the air honking horns. moving up and down the street. there was a general sense of jubiliation. i had a chance to talk to many people here today and this is what they had to say about this morning's announcement. >> this is a big deal in our community and we're very happy with the outcome. so we're all going to have a big party for freddie tonight. >> i'm satisfied with it you know, as long as they was charged with you know for wrongdoing, you know, they messed up. they was wrong as long as they was charged, i'm happy. >> it's just a few bad seeds that needped out and they're wiping them out! i'm so happy! yes! yes! suzanne: back now, we're seeing people in the crowd and they're having signs like this one. "the time for justice is always right now." this one over here, "nobody should be deprived of life liberty and land without due process." and i want to show you back in the crowd, i want to show you this t-shirt. excuse me for a second, ma'am. this one right here this is what we have seen people putting on all day long here. it says "i bleed baltimore." it means something different to different people depending on who you talk to and real briefly, what does it mean to you? i bleed baltimore? >> we bleed baltimore. we love baltimore. we support baltimore. we bleed baltimore. suzanne: everybody is grabbing these t-shirts and putting them on. a sense of unity this evening. back to you. leon: thank you, suzanne. let's get to a few of the figures that have been in the imaginations and the frustrations of many of those baltimoreans who are now wearing those t-shirts about how they bleed for this city. we now understand that all six officers are right now at the baltimore city jail. and we also understand that a number of people have assembled there in anticipation of their arrival because they have thought about these men and woman but now they want to see them. our stephen tschida is standing by there live. stephen? stephen: well, we're out here in front of the baltimore city jail for hours. monitoring the comings and goings through that secure entrance over there. we do now understand from jail officials here that all six of these police officers are at the jail. now, throughout the day, a number of people gathered here in front of the jail to celebrate. >> all night, all day! we will fight for freddie gray! stephen: outside the jail cheers for the arrest of six baltimore police officers, one facing murder charges. >> america is going to see police officers with mug shots. stephen: among the group circling the jail and chanting the mother of trayvon martin the young man killed in a confrontation with a security guard in florida. >> for some reason this is open season on african-american men. when is the season going to be over? stephen: we went to officer caeser goodson's neighborhood. the officer now faces second-degree murder charges. >> it was so shocking. i know him by just waving at him and he's been friendly to us, you know. stephen: back live now, you can see still a very strong police presence here. outside of the jail. now, as far as these six officers, they will remain here at the jail. their next step will be an appearance before some kind of magistrate, a bond or bail hearing. they will do that via video conference so they will at least be in this jail for the next 24 hours for if they post bond or otherwise they will remain here. reporting live stephen tschida, abc 7 news. leon: thank you, stephen. now, let's go now over to city hall and people have been gathering there as well watching the events of the day play out there. let's go over there now. tom roussey is standing by. tom, what's the scene there? tom: well leon we have a crowd that has been growing throughout the afternoon but now, folks are just starting to leave to march back to the inner harbor which is where the march began earlier. you can see some of the folks out here with their signs who just attended a rally that lasted well over an hour here and again it grew for over -- for just about that hour there. so we're going to start walking here and show you where some of these folks are marching towards the inner harbor. that way, here's video of when they were marching earlier. this is -- started at the inner harbor and ended up at baltimore city hall here. as far as the mood, you asked about that. i can say it's not necessarily a jubilant mood because a lot of folks say, you know this is not over because these are just charges. now, it has to go through a court of law and also they say in the broader sense of things there's still so much more work for their cause to be done. that's jubilant and a hopeful mood. they think a lot of positive developments came today. here's what one of the protesters that came out today had to say. >> this is a marathon not a sprint. so this is one development in a process. and we'll see how it unfolds. but it's a step in the right direction for this particular case. reporter: back at here live, a band come with one group of marchers. a lot of folks are very pleased with the developments today among these protesters but they say even this case is far from over and their cause as a whole still has a long way to go a according to the protesters that came out. i'm tom roussey, abc 7 news. leon: all right. thank you, tom. i want to tell you, those thoughts that you've been hearing there at city hall have been echoed over here at pennsylvania and north avenue. we've heard the same exact thing from people here who were saying they're happy, they're celebrating and relieved because of the developments today. they said the same thing, this is just the very beginning and just the first step. we'll be closely monitoring all the events and all the activities here in baltimore. we're really looking to see what happens here in the evening as the protests now begin to fill up and the sun goes down. coming up at this hour we'll take you to any of the protests that pop up. coming up at the bottom of the hour we want to take you and give you a sense of what you hear from baltimore's mayor and maryland's governor. we'll give you a look at everything that you hear from baltimore. that's all from here. scott and alison back to you in the studio. alison: thank you very much. check back in with you once again shortly. scott: to a developing story back here in d.c. mayor muriel bowser spoke in the last hour about this morning's garage collapse at the watergate hotel complex. d.c. bureau chief sam ford has been on the scene all day long and joins us now with the latest. sam? sam: scott, this happened just after 10:00 this morning and mayor bowser as you said, who just left here a few minutes ago said that what happened was a hole 75 x 100 feet opened up as a section of the garage collapsed while workers were down there working on the garage. she said rescue dogs have determined that no one is alive in that rubble. but there's the issue of the cadaver dog. >> a cadaver dog was also sent into the scene. and that dog made a possible hit on one of the three levels. the operation has now transitioned from search and rescue to a recovery operation. sam: so this has been going on all day and shook up a lot of people here at the watergate. the scene was a sea of construction workers and emergency workers after something caused the top level of a parking garage including a tree to collapse and then pancake down. level on level. >> you ran? >> i heard a rumble. and i knew -- look right, i'm looking right at it. i was working right there. i'm like it just fell. and there was probably a 30 to 40 feet tree that fell into it and it was surreal. sam: lots of people took photographs. these from a construction worker showed the extent of the destruction of the collapse. >> the first two or three rows of cars covered in debris. sam: the fire department ordered the evacuation of the watergate east apartments and the watergate hotel under construction with hundreds of construction workers in it. >> i heard a big boom and i went outside and i see a bunch of the construction workers running in front of the c.v.s. it looks all dusted and pretty dirty. sam: construction workers told us the woman injured, the lone injury was because she was trampled by other people fleeing the collapse. the fire spokesman described her injury as minor. and they determined there are no construction workers missing here. but again, there was a possible hit by a cadaver dog and so they are going to be continuing to look here. they said probably through tomorrow just in case there are any other victims here at this site. reporting live from northwest washington, sam ford, abc 7 news. alison: new information tonight on a vicious attack at a metro station. about 24 hours ago, police told abc 7 the man in this video throwing the punches is elijah

charged in the drunken hit and run death of a baltimore bicyclist has officially resigned her position with the diocese of maryland. diocese had been asking for heather cook's resignation since january. one month after he was killed. cook is no longer employed with the diocese which tells abc 7 it is not releasing a copy of her resignation letter. former bishop goes to trial on manslaughter and other charges in june. scott: coming up at 5:00 those coveted tickets to see the caps play in round two of the playoffs may not actually get you inside. find out what to look for before you buy. alison: first, we'll check on the weather as we head in for the weekend. chief meteorologist doug hill is up next. when you own a small business there's a never-ending list of small things to do every day. appointments... orders... deadlines... every one of them matters. so you need ternet you can count on. verizon fios is really fast with 99.9% network reliability because when everything is running right, all those small things you do every day can turn into something big. team up with fios for this great limited-time offer. alison: we're back to take a look at the weather as we head into the weekend, how is it going to be? >> it started off a little bit better. some areas now with some sunshine and i'll show you that on the satellite image. let's get started right now and talk about this friday afternoon where it's 61 degrees at reagan national airport. the winds fairly light out of the east-southeast so that's still a cool direction for us. over the weekend, wind direction will change more westerly. that will not only bring in drier air but things will warm up as well. 61 right now. this is the visual satellite image and this format that see is black and the background is actually the clear skies so it shows you very quickly who has got the cloud cover, who has the blue skies and sunshine. so there's a lot developing north and west of town and there's a whole storm system that continues to kind of pinwheel around and pull out, we'll get more in the way of clearing later tonight and more in the way of sunshine. as far as rain a couple of stubborn showers along the interstate 81 corridor. that's heading south. a few more sprinkles and a downpour up north of hagerstown. that will push to the south as well as we go through the remainder of this friday evening. temperatures in the sunshine. warmer in martinsburg at 66. 65 in hagerstown. 66 in frederick and the areas of the heavier cloud cover somewhat cooler in the mid to upper 50's right now. here's a big view for you to give you the whole complex of the storm system that's been developing. it started developing where we thought it would and having the effects that we thought it would. it will eventually kick out to sea tonight and tomorrow and start the process of drying it out and warming it up. there's one little thing to watch in the forecast tomorrow. that's the possibility of a little disturbance may give a sprinkle or shower to a few spots tomorrow afternoon. there's cooler temperatures overhead. the warmer air developing out west already. 74 in detroit. not only will we see 70 over the next couple of days we'll see upper 70's. that will kind of break down and the winds will start to come more from the west and help to dry us out. there was that one little fly in the ointment tomorrow where a couple of wiggles in the atmosphere could produce a sprinkle or shower. generally a nice day. low 70's. partly sunny and a full day of sunshine as we head through the day on sunday and warm sunny weather as we head through early next week. let's check it out for you for the weekend. partly sunny with a slight chance of spripg he will tomorrow. 80 degrees sunshine for the day on sunday. next seven days after we get through the weekend, monday will be bright and sunny at 82 and long stretch of 80 degree temperatures with sunshine higher humidity and a daily chance by tuesday, wednesday and thursday of afternoon showers and storms. coverage continues up in baltimore. back to leon harris. leon: thank you, doug. back now live from baltimore. this city in crisis today. it has been quite a day here. freddie gray's family had a press conference saying today that they are satisfied to learn that charges will be filed in the case of freddie gray's death and his death has been ruled as a homicide. they also said that anyone who is coming here to express themselves about that announcement today should come in peace or not come at all. the press conference came hours after baltimore's state's attorney marilyn mosby announced charges against the six police officers involved in gray's arrest. baltimore fraternal order of police, however, had a different reaction from those, completely different from the reaction that we've been hearing in the streets all day. that's in celebration of the streets. the f.o.p. calls today's development a rush to judgment. president obama says the people of baltimore deserve to know the truth about what happened in this case. horace holmes is live with me here in baltimore and he's been gauging the reaction in the wake of the announcement that's been made and also getting statements and hearing what the mayor and governor had to say about these developments today. what's the latest? what have you heard? horace: peace and calm seems to be the words of the day here in baltimore. we're here in what they call war memorial plaza in front of city hall where a big rally just ended a few minutes ag the demonstrators, protesters are moving on to another location, one of many rallies. they're scheduled for tonight on through the weekend. as you said we've heard from politicians also and in particular, the governor of maryland and the mayor of baltimore who spoke about the city's state attorney's decision earlier today. no one in our city is above the law. justice must apply to all of us equally. with today's official ordered police commissioner batts to utilize the full extent of his legal authority and immediately suspend all officers facing felony charges. >> we understand that emotions are still high that there's a lot of frustration out there. i've been incredibly impressed with the people of baltimore that care about their community and they're concerned about their neighbors. i want to continue ask for calm and peace and we're going to be here to make sure. horace: as a matter of fact the governor has remained in baltimore all day and as far as the national guard is concerned, they will remain according to the governor for the foreseeable future. the mayor's office has told us also that curfew that 10:00 curfew that's been in effect for most of the week that will stay in place you through saturday. a number of big, big protests scheduled this weekend. the curfew though will remain in effect at least until saturday night. reporting live at city hall in baltimore, horace holmes abc 7 news. leon: thank you, horace. now, other political leaders, i should say, have been weighing in as well with their thoughts about maryland senator barbara mikulski earlier today called for peace and calm to play out as the legal process plays out. that could take some time. congressman elijah cummings had this to say just moments ago. >> you think a message sent by our state's attorney that she treasures every life and that she values every person. so let the wheels of justice begin to roll and it's good that they are rolling as opposed to standing still. >> amen. leon: that is something for which a lot of people here have told us that they are quite grateful and they were saying there was anticipation this whole process could be slowed down and that in fact was actually beginning to build up some tension that may have exploded negatively. now today the announcement that six officers will be facing charges in the death of freddie gray, a lot of people saying that to them is proof there will be justice in baltimore. we'll keep an eye on how things play out here. we'll be back with more coverage throughout this hour and throughout this evening. we'll take a break and be back in a bit. alison: today, mayor muriel bowser announced an expansion of the district's summer youth employment program. now that experience will be available to people up to the age of 24. today, the program's annual career exploration fair where employers met with potential employees. >> to give kids opportunities like me to get a job. just to be out and have no -- get some money, you know. >> and i'm glad that they extended the age limit because that gives people like me an opportunity to work a little longer and get more work. alison: in fact 23,000 people applied for the program this year. more than 16,000 of them were deemed eligible to participate. scott: even if you never met him, you knew his name. monsignor leonard hurley died this week at age 84. he is, of course the namesake of the area's well known father hurley boulevard. the road was named after him after his work in germantown helped shape the community into what it is today. alison: a name that jamie sullivan has probably said many many times. she joins us now with a look at the friday afternoon traffic. hi there. jamie: that's where i'll start actually. 270 headed towards father hurley boulevard, you've got pretty typical congestion but it's nice for a friday. we've seen lighter volume. this is the area that i want to focus on though heading outbound on 50 towards annapolis. cleared away an earlier crash. seeing a lot of red on 50 and 97 in both directions. moving to the beltway. you've got slow traffic working your way on the outer loop into virginia and inner loop getting closer to river road as we take a live look, show you what we're working right now as far as congestion. a little bit of sun there. the roads are dry this afternoon. this morning, it was a little bit of a wet commute so again right now, a little bit lighter in some spots which that's the way you want to start off your friday. that is a look at traffic. back to you. alison: thank you very much. so lots of eyes on vegas this weekend for that big fight. scott: coming up, meet a local girl getting in the ring. reporter: a d.c. anti-discrimination law meant to protect the contraception choices of

whether you're working or recharging do business travel on your terms. acela. take off. scott: talk about a dramatic way to enter the second round. the washington capitals jumped ahead of the rangers in the final seconds at madison square garden last night. alison: that's right. it was a lot of fun. as the hometown hockey team gets closer and close to her the stanley cup, scalpers are trying to get deeper and deeper into your pocket and "7 on your side" consumer investigator kimberly suiters reports on what fans need to watch out for. >> ovechkin out in front. they score! kimberly: a jaw dropping last second game-winning goal. >> winning in new york, it's not better than that. >> i screamed like a girl! kimberly: inspiring caps fans to go-go. >> whoo! kimberly: searching for seats for the semifinals. >> make you want to buy tickets? >> absolutely. >> yes i am actually. very excited that they made it to the second round. kimberly: make you want to buy tickets to monday's game? >> yeah, it does! you selling? kimberly: i'm not but everyone from the caps official site to stub hub to craig's list is. >> i'd probably go $150 each. >> i've been looking on the secondary market. kimberly: before you rush out to buy the tickets, the capitals are warning of fraud. they've seen an increase in ticketing fraud since the playoffs began. >> that would be devastating trying to get to the game and not being able to. >> go directly to the source. kimberly: how can caps fans be sure they have a legitimate ticket? >> number one, make sure that you are not buying your tickets on a site like craig's list that has no refunds at all where you really don't know who you're dealing with and most of the transactions are in cash. kimberly: if you are sold a bad ticket the national consumers league urges you to report it. >> these scalpers are not only taking fans' money they're also taking their time because we go down there and we have travel in from out of town and they're committing a crime. kimberly: but steve ross may still take a chance. >> i'm a fan of craig's list. after seeing that maybe not. a trustworthy scalper which i know a couple of. kimberly: in northwest, kimberly suiters, abc 7 news. alison: ok. tim will have more on last night's game in a few minutes. scott: first, we'll head back to leon in baltimore for more on the "city leon: back now live in baltimore. city in crisis. really, i have to say it feels more like a city in celebration or on the verge of celebration at this hour. it's been quite a stunning day of developments with the announcement of charges being filed against the six officers in freddie gray's arrest and death. we're seeing here now that the streets are beginning to fill up a little bit. we're seeing a demonstration of some sort taking place at the intersection of pennsylvania and north avenue which is the epicenter for all the activity that we saw breaking out here on monday. police standing by here and crowds very very peaceful although this peace can be quite loud at some points. but again we're hearing word of other demonstrations popping up or being planned for later on throughout the night here. we also have the fact that the curfew kicks in here in about four hours or so. there's a lot going on here and a lot to keep our eye on. we're doing it for you. if you want to be the first to know about what's

protects workers in d.c. who use birth control or abortion services. >> this is not the business. reporter: because the d.c. law takes effect on saturday this g.o.p. led effort is largely symbolic.

the personal decisions they make about birth control and their reproductive health. still, house republicans pushed it through. >> we have a number of members that are concerned about this issue and the issue is one of religious liberty. mike: not just that anti-abortion groups and political organizations claim this law would force them to hire job applicants who emphatically express support for abortion rights. >> this is a blatant political attack that affects all of our hiring and firing decisions and there is no bill for pro life organizations like ours. mike: mayor bowser points out the d.c. council clarified the law to address some religious liberty concerns and she dismisses this congressional action as political posturing. >> there's certain people in the legislature who want to

celebrate in nepal, but one incredible rescue led to cheers across the country. >> this is incredible. a teenage boy was pulled alive from underneath a collapsed building. and the fairfax county search and rescue team played a huge role in his hess cue. >> nbc's miguel almaguer witnessed these dramatic moments. >> reporter: this is where the cry for help came from, buried deep beneath this massive pit of twisted concrete and metal. teenager's withering voice finally heard by search teams. he's been here five days, say locals trapped inside a hotel. a los angeles county urban rescue squad a block away with search saws when they get the call and scramble to assist. the rescue is fraught with danger. buildings everywhere here are on the brink of collapse. search teams will risk lives to save one. six hours into the rescue, this is the moment that would rally the region, the 15-year-old boy methodically pulled from the rubble carried away by the men and women who saved his life. how can you survive six days in those conditions? rushed to the hospital by ambulance, his injuries are said to be minor. the boy entombed between two collapsed floors for 120 hours. >> when you see it the floors are within feet of each other. it's floor after floor after floor within a five-foot span you have three floors. >> reporter: your victim is pancaked in between the floors. >> if was amazing he was still alive. >> reporter: this morning, word of this incredible rescue is spreading across the country. a symbolic win for a nation surrounded by so much loss. over the last 48 hours

collapsed hotel in nepal. he was stuck under that rubble for five days. it took six hours for crews to get the teen out. the fairfax team provided the special tool that made it happen. >> so this tool

57 men and women and six canines from fair chasmfax county are in nepal helping. good for them. >> i'll say. well, we have got some big changes that you promised us yesterday for days actually and they're here now. >> right. the wet weather of course, is coming in the form of not just rain showers but some thunderstorms. those are scattered about the area bringing anything from some lightning to some small hail. we've had reports of pea-sized hail right inside the beltway and winds gusting to just under 30 miles per hour. so those winds with any of these storms could come up briefly then come back down. take a look. we're zooming in on storm team4 radar inside the beltway. this storm potentially producing hail, running up northwest d.c., wisconsin avenue there, you can see it toward nebraska avenue, rock creek park some moderate even heavy rain coming down right now. i'm not seeing any light currently but there is the chance for hail with these. storm team4, we've got our hail markers turned on. all of this here right now is just over northern loudoun county tracking more north and northwestward toward areas like purcellville and charlestown in the next couple of minutes heavy rain there. down to the south around falkier county is where really the boundary has been for much of the day today. this one toward areas like crestville della plane and blue mountain in the next couple of minutes. we have areas with moderate heavy rains, chance of hail and lightning across the area. we'll hold on to the threat up until about 9:00 p.m. tonight. you'll need the big umbrella if you'll be stepping out this evening. any of these storms could produce some downpours across the area and some ponding on area roads. evening planner fore cast, 73 from showers and storms to becoming more scattered and a little lighter as we get into the 10:00 to 11:00 p.m. again storm chances hang on up until about 7:00 to 8:00 this evening. we drop from the 70s to the 50s late this evening. now, let me show you your future weather. hour by hour 7:00, the threat of storms really starts to diminish. early tomorrow morning, this is 7:00 a.m. friday, yes, we're talking about rain showers, but i think that threat will be primarily south of d.c., leesburg, manassas, culpeper, charlottesville, toward areas like pax river and even st. mary's early in the day. then overcast with an east wind still, we are talking about some drizzle and sprinkles that still could rotate through the area during the afternoon and even the evening hours tomorrow. so it's still going to be on the damp side and certainly cool for your friday. temperatures start out 47 to 53 again, the rain mainly south. by the afternoon, your high temperature, unlike today up around 70 degrees, just 64 65 degrees for the afternoon hours. keep that in mind if you want to get out and do some exercising. the best part of the day will be the afternoon hours from 65 to around 64 degrees to areas south and east. the weekend much improved. but i'll take you hour by hour with tomorrow's forecast. we'll talk about that threat of rain for saturday coming up. >> thanks. big night for the washington capitals

your cash and why you need to act now. and sale fail. what the news4 consumer team found that could change the way you shop. you're watching news4 "first at 4." we want to show you this live video from -- these are live pictures from philadelphia where a march is under way right now near philadelphia's city hall. they are calling this philly is baltimore. these marchers are demonstrating in solidarity with those who have been marching in baltimore city. we'll have a live report on this demonstration in downtown philadelphia coming up later on news4. sale prices. we assume they are deep discounts offered for a limited time. >> but what if something is always offered at a sale price? erika gonzalez did some digging for us on this. erika? >> we wanted to know, what makes a sale really a sale? here's why jumping at that sale may not actually be getting you a deal. sarah sheldon loves a good bargain. >> there l certain stores that if i see a sale i almost always go to. >> reporter: she wants the sale to be big huge. >> anything under 40% is not really worth my time. >> but what if you could get the same 40% off deal two, three, four, even nine months later? is it really a sale? nonprofit checkbook.org decide to find out. it tracked the prices of dozens of products at eight national chains once a week for 44 weeks. the nonprofit found sears, macy's and kohl's had at least half the items checkbook priced on sale most of the time. look at this mixer and this recliner, both on sale 44 weeks out of 44 weeks. >> the worst example of this was sears. sears, for almost all the items we checked, the items were more often than not always on sale. >> and some of the discounts appeared steep. >> we'd have an item that their regular price was listed at $1200 and would be on sale for $800 week after week after week. 40% markdown every week. >> so what makes a sale really a sale? turns out there's no legal standard for how to determine a sale price, though a permanent sale may violate unfair or deceptive trade practices and laws in some states including d.c., maryland and virginia. >> is it illegal for something to be on sale all the time? >> well it's for sure dishonest. >> we asked sears macy's and kohl's to respond to checkbook's research. sears tells us its pricing is not misleading or deceptive. sears says quote, we provide discounts to our members and customers in a number of different legally compliant ways. it is unfortunate that checkbook.org did not appear to take those factors into account before making assumptions. macy's said, quote, our pricing cadence varies on each item based on the nature and seasonality of the merchandise. the items on the list were not monitored every day. macy's promotes sales by day not by week. macy's says it strifes to comply with all laws and relgss. kohl's does not respond. how do you really know if you're getting a deal? checkbook says -- >> never assume a sale price is a good price. >> and to help in your comparison shopping -- >> ask a salesperson if they'll hold that sales price for you for another week or month. >> while you check the competition for a lower price. one thing is clear once you know you're getting a deal, go for it. >> i feel like there's always sales. >> that's a good thing for you. >> yes. no it's great! >> you can see the full results of checkbook's research on nbcwashington.com. just search "sale fail." if you have a story idea for the consumer watch, we'd love to hear from you. send us an e-mail or call us. make you think twice before you reach for that garment that's 30%, 40%, 70% off. >> but it's tempting isn't it? >> oh, yes, it is. >> we love a sale. >> i know it all too well, pat. >> thank you. well, a major scare at a virginia school. police

freddie gray. >> findings included some surprises. jay gray is live with the new details for us in baltimore. jay? >> reporter: hey there, jim, pat. they turned the results over a day earlier than expected, but what police haven't done to this point, answered the question so many are asking here right now how did freddie gray die? there is new information and questions tonight in the death of freddie gray, the 25-year-old who was severely injured and later died after being apprehended by baltimore police. today investigators revealed the transport van gray was riding in made a previously unknown stop the day he was arrested. >> this new stop has been -- was discovered from a privately owned camera rnchtsz. >> reporter: this's the only information public shared publicly after turning over the results to the investigation to the state's attorney. >> make sure we look and overturn every rock is more important than just coming forth and giving a document. >> reporter: still we are learning new details in this case. a charging document obtained by nbc news indicates after fleeing from officers gray was apprehended without force, taken into custody for alleged possession of a switchblade knife. "the washington post" is reporting information reporting from a police document quoting an unnamed prisoner who rode in the van with gray who says he heard banging against the walls of the van and said he believed gray was intentionally trying to injure himself. but doctors and others say there's no way gray's spinal cord injury was self-inflicted. >> there is no way in the world that this man would have been able to hurl himself up inside the van and to produce those kinds of injuries. ridiculous. >> reporter: as the investigation continues, so does the effort to heal. today members of the baltimore ravens delivered food and supplies to families in the areas most affected by the riots. >> just giving these people hope that, you know, a better day will be on the horizon. >> reporter: hope. this community desperately needs right now. protesters scheduled here and across the country through the weekend. police and the national guard say they'll maintain their presence and the curfew

his backpack and made threats at his bus stop. he was immediately arrested when the bus got to school. fellow classmates say they were scared. >> he could have done anything. he could have -- he could have got a second thought, oh, i should just go ahead and slice the sword on the bus. it could have escalated he could have cut the person in front of his head off, slicing everybody up. >> other students reported he was new to the school and had apparently been the victim of bullying. he was charged with brandishing a bladed weapon, possession of a weapon on school property, and disorderly conduct. several beaches in maui remain closed right now a day after a shark killed a 65-year-old woman. a group of snorkelers found her body off of mckenna safe park. so far no witnesses have come

the new guidelines that every woman needs to know about. and she's fighting for freedom. george clooney's wife amal is in town tonight. we'll tell you who she's trying to help. and storm team4 tracking showers, a few thunderstorms. we've seen hail. we've seen lightning. but just how much longer is this going to hang on? it's inside the beltway right now. we'll tell you more lets say this is your tv and these are the channels you pay for with cable but these are the types of channels you actually want to watch what if you could pay for what you want, and not for what you don't so you could get kids channels sports... or entertainment mix and match, or get them all. now fios brings you a totally new way to customize your tv starting at $74.99 -- including internet and phone. cable just gives you channels. fios gives you choice. international human rights attorney amal clooney is in town today part of a legal team working to free the former president of the maldives. they discussed the case at a news conference this morning at the national press club. mohammed na she'd was jailed last month on terrorism charges a move the u.n. and other humanitarian groups have heavily criticized as unjust. amal's husband george clooney visits washington often to campaign for human rights issues. new information for women about cancer screenings. >> and as news4's doreen gants letter tells us, there's concern this could lead to confusion. doreen? >> indeed jim and pat. we're talking about testing for cervical cancer, a disease that used to be the number onekiller of women. but over the last 40 years cases have decreased significantly. that's because of better screening and better treatment, and the invention of the pap smear about 50 years ago. but today the american college of physicians weighed in with new recommendations saying that women don't need to be screened as often now. the hope is that it will cut down on unnecessary procedures. researchers say that no matter how old you are, getting a pap smear every year is no longer warranted. that's because frequent screening for changes in cervical cells can lead to more harm than good, some doctors now believe, including false positives and unnecessary biopsies. instead women who are at average risk for developing cervical cancer should start the screening at the age of 21 and then repeat it every three years. once women hit age 30 then they can undergo screening every five years and testing can stop after age 65, according to these new recommendations. now, this news might confuse a lot of women who may be used to having annual exams. it's definitely a conversation you need to have with your own doctor. of course, if you are at high risk for cervical cancer, meaning you have a family history or other possible risk factors, then you should continue to have more frequent screenings. but the bottom line about all of this talk to your doctor. pat? jim? >> important information there. >> very. a march is going on right now in solidarity with baltimore. >> these are live pictures, again, from downtown philadelphia where people are marching near city hall. we've got a live report on

some small hail in the area, including inside the beltway. lightning, yes, even the wind coming up for a time around 30 miles per hour and some downpours. we've seen a couple of spots there picking up anywhere from a quarter to just over a half inch of rain, and that means of course ponding on area roads. let me show you storm team4 radar. into the action inside the beltway, this storm system not quite as intense now headed toward bethesda, eventually to the north and west hitting wilewood hills as well as scotland area, pulling into montgomery county. another cell we're tracking has heavy rain, lightning potential as well as hail. this one headed toward western maryland hancock. right around 40. it's headed toward williamsport clear spring, new hope by 5:12. this whole line thshgs is

50s, 60 between 8:00 and 10:00. it will turn drizzly, cool and damp especially the early part of the day. our rain chances will start up around 60%, mainly south of d.c., then we'll start to see the chance drop by the afternoon. once it drops still going to be on the drizzly sprinkly side for the afternoon. that could come through at any time. so we've got the green light for recess and dismissal, just damp and cool. kids will need a jacket tomorrow. at least we won't get high winds with this system and those lower temperatures. but we'll be parked most of the afternoon in the low to mid-60s across the area cool conditions, damp conditions, better as we get later and later into the day. we're low to moderate on an impact forecast for tomorrow. do i think we'll see much sunshine? maybe limited sunshine just before the sun sets. there here is a look at your high temperatures throughout the area from 62 annapolis, 65 inside the beltway 65 degrees also around warrenton and manassas manassas. your forecast for the afternoon around 63 to 67. better conditions late. that's the main thing to remember, if you do want to get out. then saturday mostly cloudy, we'll be fighting cloud cover chance for an isolated shower mainly for the afternoon and just before the evening hours. we should start to see that chance wane. saturday a 30% chance, temperatures up to 70. 76 sunday, better day with sunshine coming our way. then a very warm pattern sets up will early next week monday, tuesday, wednesday. high temperatures topping out over 80 degrees. and yes, there is the chance

pocketknife on him. baltimore police also said today 98 officers have been injured in the protests and violence since monday. i'm pat lawson muse at the live desk. where we have been working all afternoon to try to clarify some of the reports coming out about the freddie gray investigation. just in is an interview with the other man who rode in the back of that police van with freddie gray. his name is donte allen. allen was arrested the same morning as gray place nd the police van opposite gray with a solid divider between them so they couldn't see each other. allen says he didn't know anyone was in the van at the time. this is what he had to say about the ride to the police station. >> when i got in the van, i didn't hear nothing. it was a smooth ride. we went straight to the

tell the police that you heard him banging his head against the van? >> i told homicide that. i don't work the police. i did not tell the police nothing. >> sources have told our baltimore affiliate that gray was likely unresponsive by the time allen was picked up and put in that van. but medical experts say the type of injury gray suffered could have given him seizures which could have accounted for the four seconds of banging allen reported to police. according to gray's autopsy there's no evidence he hit his head on his own. the medical examiner says the spinal areinjury was similar to that

program but if she and the chief get their way the public will have very limited access to the video. news4's mark segraves is working this story for us joining us from the newsroom. mark? >> d.c. police have had a body camera pilot program for about seven months. reporters and members of the public have been asking to see footage from the cameras since day one. but the chief has denied those requests. in the interest of full disclosure, news4 was one of the first organizations to do a freedom of information request for the footage, which was denied. now the chief and the mayor want to exempt footage to foia requests and limit who would ever see the videos. more and more jurisdictions across the counpolice body cameras, and they face the same question d.c. is now faced with, whether to release the video to the public. seattle police have a youtube channel where they release a majority of the footage every day. they blur the images to ensure privacy. d.c. police have posted two examples of footage from traffic stops. but mayor muriel bowser included a provision in her new budget to restrict who has access to the footage. >> the city attempted to slip it in the budget support act. i think that's the wrong tactic to take particularly something this significant, especially in light of what's happening across the country with law enforcement personnel as they relate to members of our public. >> reporter: the council member mcduffy agrees and has called to a public hearing. >> this is a dell at that time balance. >> reporter: chief lanier explained how the cameras work and why the footage should be restrict restricted. police accountability can be improved at many levels without the general public rauchwatching the individual quos. the goal of the program is not to satisfy the curiosity of everyone who might want to watch police interactions. the goal is to ensure that those who need to see the videos, the involved parties the criminal and civil justice system, will be able to use it. >> i wholeheartedly disagree. my office is in charge of compliance among agencies with the freedom of information act and quite frankly i'm against this amendment. i think it's throwing the baby out with the bath water approach. >> the real transparency concerns are something everyone should be mindful of. >> the council will have a public hearing next week. you saw the video from seattle police. in the fact chief lanier sent out, she said if d.c. tried to do that it would take 150 years because the technology is so slow. coming up at 6, what seattle police say about that and why others are questioning whether the chief's fact sheet is actually factual. in the newsroom mark segraves, news4. redskins fans have been waiting for tonight the nfl draft's first round. dianna russini is live in chicago at the draft to give us a little insight on who the team might take for the fifth pick. di? >> reporter: hey jim. it's definitely one of the most

rgiii we know he needs protection and this guy could help. he played at iowa, a school notorious for putting out good offensive linemen. be exciting. it's going to be crazy here in chicago. but back at redskins park where gm scott mcclellan will be with jay gruden and the head coach, he says things will be a lot calmer. >> what we're able to walk in and kind of start laughing because it's so laid back. the board is set. i don't want confusion. the only time it gets anxious is if somebody calls and offers a pretty good trade or two teams calm. that's when things might get a little testy at times. but i pride myself and i want that room just to be steady. >> reporter: it might be steady there, but it's going to rocking here. 100,000 are estimated to come check out the draft and millions will be watching it on tv tonight. i'm dianna russini back to you. >> thanks. rescuers are calling it a miracle in the rubble. a local search and rescue team helped save the life of a teenager buried

this is where the weather just becomes spectacular. 82 on tuesday 80 on wednesday. just a chance of showers maybe a thunderstorm on wednesday. but right now getting through the heavy rain just to our west. >> thank you, doug. it is a mystery tinged with sadness. former d.c. congressman and longtime civil rights activist and minister walter fauntroy traveled overseas three years ago, and he never came back. today news4's tom sherwood talked to fauntroy's wife of 57 years who says her faith in god is helping her through this ordeal. >> reporter: their crestwood home of more than 50 years, a painting of walter fauntroy once the right-han hangs in the living room. the peace of this home is far from the daily fear dorothy fauntroy felt in the 1960s civil rights era, like once staying in an alabama home with dr. king. >> i said, they could throw a molotov cocktail, and all of us would be killed. >> reporter: dorothy said her faith in god got her through those terrible times. now she trusts god will bring her husband safely home. the 82-year-old fauntroy, a member of congress for 20 years, has been away for 3 years first in africa, more recently the middle east, with little contact by phone or e-mail. >> people ask me how do you do it? and i just say, with the help of the lord, just like that. i said, i've always had a strong faith in god. >> reporter: family and church pitched in to stave off bankruptcy by paying the $2,000 a month mortgage while efforts continue to contact fauntroy and get him home. >> when he first left he went to africa. see, i don't know when he left africa and went to the middle east or wherever it is. >> reporter: fauntroy attorney johnny barnes is helping with legal advice and fund-raisers. >> we'll have a website up soon but we're working with the national congress of black women. they're the sort of fishery agent. >> reporter: at the new beth al baptist where fauntroy preached for 50 years, the senior pastor says the church is trying to help, too. >> so we are standing with her, supporting her however we can. >> reporter: in the district, tom sherwood news4. freddie gray's arrest in baltimore and his death have set off protests around the country. >> six baltimore police officers have been suspended and new tonight we're hearing from one of the families. plus, thousands of dollars in debt, and it's about to get even worse for one local man. this is a consumer warning that you need to see. lets say this is your tv and these are the channels you pay for with cable but these are the types of channels you actually want to watch what if you could pay for what you want, and not for what you don't so you could get kids channels sports... or entertainment mix and match, or get them all. now fios brings you a totally new way to customize your tv starting at $74.99 -- including internet and phone. cable just gives you channels. fios gives you choice. tonight we're hearing from a new side in the freddie gray death investigation in baltimore. >> nbc's jane miller spoke to the relative of one of the officers who's been suspended in this controversial case. a woman who asked not to have her face shown. here is their conversation. >> i think that from what i understand when they have someone that's irate they may stop and do certain things like the leg shackles or the handcuffs. but if they're still irate, they won't put the seat belt on because that means they put themselves at risk of being attacked, even if they don't have their hands or their feet. they still have their mouth. and not knowing whether they have anything in their mouth or not knowing whether they're just going to bite them. who wants to risk that? when they could just secure them as best they can and get them to where they need to be. >> reporter: the policy is clear. >> yes. >> reporter: that the prisoner has to be belted. >> yes. >> reporter: but officers just ignore that? >> that i don't know. >> reporter: does this officer believe that he did anything wrong? >> no. no. >> reporter: even though the policy is clear. >> no. they don't. they came. they did their job. they regret that someone was killed. but in their hearts and in their minds, they think that they did the right thing. and they hurt behind the backlash of it more than anything and being left out there with no support. now at 6, taking to the streets of baltimore another large crowd marches to city hall while so many people there still need basic supplies in the wake of this week's unrest. some important new information about the investigation that started it all. we'll hear from the man who was in the back of that police van with freddie gray. >> just heard little banging, you know. just little -- i mean boom boom boom. just little bangings. >> what's not clear yet is what really happened inside that police van. but first, rain thunder, lightning, even some hail out there in places. storm team4 is tracking showers and storms in some parts of our area. let's go straight to doug in the weather center. what's going on doug? >> well, we are seeing those storms right now on storm team4 radar. they're coming down fairly heavily right now. again, some of these storms have lightning. we've gotten reports of hail, a lot of pea-sized hail around the region. over the last couple of hours you see this one line that has made its way just west of 95, just continuing off to the west. it's right now over i-81 as we stop the motion here. martinsburg in through bjerkery county, down 81 toward winchester, very heavy rain along 81, around front royal seeing the heavy rain toward rappahannock county, most of falkier county seeing the rain. then look at this rain right here around the city of fairfax, very heavy rain in this area, too. this is something that we're going to be watching very closely. let me move out of the way. i want to zoom in on that one storm that is over the city of fairfax right now. again, this one now has a lot of lightning associated with it. i'm getting a lot of reports out of fairfax and vienna of not just lightning but the pea-sized hail. let me take the lightning off. we're talking along 66 286 and of course 29 we'll continue to watch these storms for you on storm team4 radar. again, make sure you have the umbrella handy if you're heading out tonight. >> thank you doug. now to
there's new information about the investigation and a new account of the moments inside that police van. >> and it's up to prosecutors now to sort it all out as the people of baltimore try to clean up the mess and preserve the peace. we have team coverage beginning with scott macfarlane who's been working with pat lawson muse and producers in our newsroom to sort things out best question. scott in. >> jim, good evening. a lot of reports out there today. here's what we have at this hour we're growing certain of. we're told the investigation into the death of freddie gray appears to be focusing on the police transport van and reporter jane miller from wbal in baltimore, sources tell her the report turned over to prosecutors say whatever lapped to freddie gray happened inside the van and not during the arrest. we're just fold a second stop was made about a mile away and police just discovered it on surveillance cameras and say they don't know why the van stopped. from there, the van made a third stop and the driver asked an officer to check on gray. then a final stop was made to pick up dante allen at the same enter section where the cvs was set on fire this week. dante allen spoke today for the first time to jane miller said he was put in the van on the opposite side of gray with a solid divider between them so they couldn't see each other. allen said he didn't know anyone was in the van at the time. this is what he said about the ride to the police station. >> when i got in the van i didn't hear nothing. it was a smooth ride. we went straight to the police station. all i heard was like a little banging for like four seconds. i just heard little banging you know, just little -- you know, boom, boom, just little banging. >> did you tell the police that you heard him banging his head against the van? >> i told homicide that. >> sources told our baltimore affiliate that gray was likely unresponsive by the time allen was picked up and put in that van. but according to medical experts, the type of injury gray suffered could have caused seizures which could account for the four seconds of banging allen reported to the police. at the live desk, scott macfarlane. >> thanks, scott. the city's state's attorney confirmed that she now has the internal investigation from the police. she says her office has simultaneously been conducting its own investigation into gray's death. she said her office would not rely solely on the police report but also on the facts that they have gathered and been able to verify. >> and what about the people who live in the neighborhoods impacted by the violent protests? news4's tracee wilkins talked to people in baltimore who are still struggling to get back on their feet. >> reporter: for many of the people standing in this line -- >> have you been waiting long? >> no. >> reporter: -- they're getting their first bag of fresh groceries in days. >> thank you. >> as a result of the riots, we lost four convenience stores. we have no place to get toilet paper pampers milk anything. >> reporter: this section of baltimore was already a food desert. >> 30% of the neighbors that live here are in poverty. >> reporter: so every little bit helps. >> 21% of the neighbors here don't have jobs. >> reporter: when every dime counts. >> my family how long have we been mere? we've been hforever. >> reporter: and with so many businesses burned out and lost after monday's riots -- >> i just wonder where the money is coming from. it's just a simple question. that's what i want to know. >> reporter: today randy mcmillan got to ask the governor for himself who's paying to clean up this city. >> we're going to find all the resources we can at the state level, work with the city and from the federal government. >> so it going to come out of our pockets. >> well, some things will come out of your pocket. >> right, right. i understand. >> we'll try to provide all the help we can. >> he said some positive things in there, but i got the feeling that he was unsure himself about the programs that he was going to try to implement. >> we lost 200 businesses on monday night. over 100 of them are minority-owned businesses. many people didn't have insurance. >> reporter: while the powers that be work out lark larger issues, community organizers are taking care of more immediate ones. >> i'm glad you were able to stop by and get something. there are new details tonight in a savage attack inside a metro station. investigate rz have named the suspect seen in this video. he was beating a 69-year-old man. police are looking for him right now. they say it is not the first time that he's done something like this. jackie bensen is outside metro headquarters with more. >> reporter: jim we've learned this suspect has a history of doing the same thing before. the video from last week's assault is tough to look at. it shows a sudden violent attack on an escalator at the eastern market metro station. the victim who is 69 years old was very seriously injured but is on the mend. police say the video was clear enough for a good citizen to identify 19-year-old elijah smith of silver spring. >> we're very pleased with our cc tv system. we upgraded it, rely on it for security matters every day to situational awareness. those cameras proved prudent that day with those cameras we identifyied him. >> reporter: news4 has learned smith is still on probation after serving time for a similar brutal random attack in may of last year. the victim in that case was an actor who just finished a performance at a theater in downtown silver spring. he, too, was very seriously injured. >> we put that information out there. we want to help identify where he's at. if he's listening, we want him to turn himself in. >> reporter: interesting to note smith faces the possibility of tougher than usual punishment in the most recent incident, the one at the eastern market metro station. that is because d.c.'s law allows for enhanced penalties if the victim is over 65. at metro headquarters jackie bensen news4. a d.c. man is now charged with rape in a case that law enforcement tells us involves a nun. the suspect is juan randolph. investigators say he broke into a home along 16th avenue in chillham last night and raped a woman. sources tell us the victim in this case is a nun. officers took randolph into custody earlier today. we're told he has admitted to the assault. a deadly hit-and-run crush is highlighting the dangers pedestrians face trying to get around a busy d.c. road. faith pines died trying to cross southern avenue in the district laugh last night after she left a helicopter. news4's pat collins spoke to the victim's family and has more on this story in southeast tonight. pat? >> reporter: doreen, for pedestrians, a trip to and from this hospital could put you in the hospital. for one woman this fatal consequences. and some people are calling this stretch of the road the death zone. crossing southern avenue at the united medical center is downright dangerous. it's like trying to get across a highway. here now from christine coghill she works at the hospital. she takes this risk every day. >> something needs to be here for the pedestrians that's coming from the hospital or going to the hospital. it's just a death zone. that's what it is. >> reporter: so you might be saying, why don't people just go to the nearest traffic light and cross? well, take a look at where the nearest traffic light is. it's more than two blocks away. many people coming to and from the hospital are not going to cross at that light. getting from there to over here cost a 68-year-old woman her life. >> reporter: faith pines struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver as she was trying to cross southern avenue. it happened tuesday night. she'd been to the hospital here to visit a friend. as she went to cross the street, she was run down. simone jordan is faith pines' daughter. she just took this picture with her mom a couple of days ago. she has a message for that hit-and-run driver. >> why would you do that? i know you have a mother. i know you would not let your mother just die like that. you wouldn't have left the scene. why would you have left her? just to die right there? >> reporter: police say the striking car was a 1999 tan mercedes. now, they found the car on benning road. now they're looking for the driver. jim, back to you. >> thanks, pat. something unusual at a school in alexandria today. an air force helicopter made an emergency landing on the field at the william ramsey elementary school. students were taken outside to get a closer look at the helicopter and to actually have a chat with the service members there. it was an emergency landing they had to make when there was an indication of some trouble. the chopper took off after some mechanics came along and checked it out. a couple of really big sports stories tonight. dianna russini is in chicago where the nfl is taking place. carol maloney is in new york, new york, where the caps are in the second round of the playoffs. carol? >> reporter: hey, jim. yeah it's a rite of spring. the caps/rangers are meeting again in the playoffs. this is the fourth time in the last five years. and this one expected to be the most brute willal alal of them all. this one could be measured in stitches. coming up on news4 at 6 a little later in the show, we're going to hear from the caps players who tell us the way they have to play to have success in the second round. for now though, let's head to the windy city. >> reporter: i'm dianna russini in chicago, getting ready for the 2015 nfl draft. the redskins will pick fifth, and i'm going to tell you about the two guys the redskins are hoping to get on their roster. honored for their bravery. new at 6, we salute the local men and women whose actions in the line of duty sound like something out of a movie. >> reporter: how close are prosecutors to filing additional charges against catherine hoggle, the mother who hid her children seven months ago? and we'll tell you about a traffic headache and the reason behind it. (music) hey! let me help with that. oh, thank you! (music) introducing the one-and-only volkswagen golf sportwagen. the sportier utility vehicle. >> announcer: you're watching news4 at 6. the faces of two young children who have been missing now for nearly eight months. their mother has been charged with neglect. she attended a court hearing today in montgomery county. chris gordon reports it is still unclear if she'll ever go on trial. >> reporter: the latest psychiatric report indicates catherine hoggle is improving but still incompetent. children, 3-year-old sarah and 2-year-old jacob, not seen since september. their father tells me he spoke by phone by catherine hoggle who's in a mental hospital a few weeks ago. >> she's been saying since before thanksgiving she's ready to bring them thome and things like that. i'll believe it when they're in my car. >> reporter: i asked hoggle's defense lawyer the question that many people want answered. does catherine hoggle want to reveal the whereabouts of her children? >> i can't speak to that. i don't even know if she knows the whereabouts of her children. >> reporter: the jung of judge said when hoggle is declared competent he will put her on trial for the misdemeanor charges of neglecting minors, but she said she's already been in custody seven months which would exceed the sentence he would impose. the top prosecutor anticipates he will seek additional charges against hoggle. >> we remain sort of in a holding pattern because that's the right thing to do to allow us to have the maximum options for exploring other lead that's may develop in this case and having the availability of using the grand jury. >> reporter: police conducted a search earlier this month. based on tips and because the foliage has changed. but they tell me it resulted in no new leads to help them find the children. reporting from montgomery county, chris gordon news4. a first 4 traffic alert for you tonight, a busy road along the national mall will be closing in about 45 minutes. you won't be able to drive down 15th street between jefferson drive and constitution avenue until next tuesday. the street closure is part of the ongoing construction of the museum of african-american history and culture. >> it's bad already, yeah. and it seems only to get worse. >> pretty inconvenient and i've got the kids in the back seat. it might take a little longer to get to school. >> 15th street isn't the only road that will be impacted. next tuesday at 6:00 a.m., a stretch of madison drive will shut down between 14th and 15th streets. commuters will have to deal with that disruption through the end of next week. in just under an hour you'll be able to weigh in on the proposed potomac yard metro station in alexandria. metro is hosting a public hearing on that station. it will be at the rec center. that's along west reed avenue just a few blocks off route 1. the proposed station would be between the gw parkway and potomac avenue on the blue and yellow lines. doug's back with more detail on this rainy weather. and some people are getting hammered right now. >> they really are. the radar behind us, coming down very hard in parts of fairfax and toward the west. we told you yesterday most of the activity would be just to the west of i-95 and that's exactly where it's been all day today. take a look. again, east of i-95 in through southern maryland mostly dry, the west of the waldorf along the potomac but a lot of activity through parts of northern virginia and panhandle west virginia. warren torn, fairfax county loudoun county, frederick county virginia getting hit hard so is the front royal area. we'll do a couple of stops, zooms, also some around frederick county, maryland. but look around martinsburg. it's been raining here for the good part of an hour, some locations picking up well over an inch of rain from this. we're going to continue to see the heavy rain through berkeley county, down to the south, frederick koublt county virginia, clark county virginia, the heavy rain, along route 50. farther south along front royal toward marshall where it's been raining for one to two hours. let's go to rap han ick county where some of the heaviest rain has been over the last hour or two. it's not moving a lot. expect to see more rain. where it is still moving slowly to the west, right around fairfax, woodbridge, prince william county. there's the one shower through southeastern prince george's county, northern charles county. that is trying to make its way across the potomac. let's zoom in. this is the shower we've seen come through fairfax county and vienna. a lot of lightning and hail reports from this. right now around the clifton area, toward chantilly and just west of the city of fairfax, city of fairfax will begin to dry out as we move through the rest of the evening. temperatures now 70 degrees at the airport winds out of southeast at 9 miles per hour. look where it's raining and notice the temperatures, a lot cooler. only 54 in winchester, 56 over toward martinsburg all of this rain because of an area of low pressure aloft. let's go ahead and take you wide here. look at the motion here in the atmosphere. that spin is the one storm we're watching, the upper levels. at the surface we've got another storm. this is the one that's going to give us the motion from the east tomorrow and give us a good chance of rain tomorrow morning. here we are at 6:00. notice where the rain is, right around 8:00 same areas back to the wecht. heads-up, could see another inch in some locations. then future weather tomorrow morning, look around 6:00 a.m. gaithersburg, 270, leesburg and to the south a lot of rain falling early tomorrow morning. so the rush hour tomorrow morning between 6:00 and 9:00 will be problematic and will definitely be wet before all of this moves down tomorrow afternoon. not a bad afternoon but we have to get through tomorrow morning. temperatures tomorrow up to 65 up to 70 on saturday with just a slight chance of a shower in the afternoon. then some fantastic weather, sunday a high temperature of 76 with plenty of sunshine, monday at 80 82 on tuesday 80 on wednesday. it's about time we see some nice days in a row. but once again tracking storms, more in a few minutes. >> thanks doug. coming up tonight, some local families watching and waiting as their loved ones do everything they can to help the people who were missing and lost in that awful earthquake in nepal. and new questions tonight about a plan to outfit local police officers with those body camera cameras. why a city 3,000 mile as way is setting the tone about the controversial technology here in a rescue in alexandria sounds more like a scene from a movie, but it actually happened. today it brought a valor award for an officer and a good samaritan samaritan. on a cold and icy february day, mamy doyle called 911 which brought officer michael nugent to the beltway. a woman was threatening to jump 75 feet to cameron run below. the woman leaped but doyle managed to catch her arm. the jumper landed on a narrow ice-covered ledge. officer nugent grabbed hold, but the jumper continued to struggle. finally, doyle sat on her until more officers could arrive. >> when i got on the ledge and realize td was covered in ice and had very little control then i started to panic. >> it was scary. i think he realized i was scared after i came back over the ledge. i was in tier tears. >> officer nugent received a gold medal of valor from the a.m. ex-andrea chamber of commerce and doyle was recognized for her bravery. northern virginia bureau chief julie carey emceeing the ceremony. that's her there. the district is planning to spend more than $5 million on police body cams, but the chief and mayor want to restrict who gets to see the footage. news4's among many organizations being denied access to that video. chief lanier put out a fact sheet explaining why she made her decision but news4's mark segraves reports some lawmakers are questioning how factual it really is. >> i have concerns about whether or not there are some things included in the fact sheet that are accurate or whether they're imprecise. >> the three-page fact sheet explains how the body camera program works and why the chief believe it's important to restrict who can have access to the videos. the chief write that's if the d.c. council doesn't exempt body camera footage from the freedom of information act, private citizens' personal information could be made public. >> it simply isn't true, isn't the case. >> the mayor points to the seattle police department which does allow the public to see just about all body cam videos by posting them on a youtube channel after blurring the images for privacy. lanier says it takes seattle police 4.25 hours to blur each minute of video, and since d.c. has 5,000 hours of video so far, it would take 150 years to blur. but an official with the seattle police department says that's not correct that in fact it takes them just one minute for each minute of video using the same cameras that the d.c. police use. the d.c. council will hold a hearing next week on whether to keep the body camera videos from the public. the aclu doesn't oppose body cameras for police but wants the video to be accessible. the council and mayor are using taxpayer funds to give mpd another tool to surveil communities, not to provide a fool for police accountability. police accountability is not achieved by allowing the police to police themselves. >> there's some serious questions about the burden being placed on mpd, the financial burden as well as the burden of trying to store all that data. and those are legitimate concerns. but i think the chief should air those concerns in a public fashion. >> in the district mark segraves, news4. $8,000 lost. >> a local man out thousands of dollars. the warning tonight for anybody who may be trying to settle a debt with the irs. and some of us could see some lightning before this night is through. doug tracking whatever is in jamie wanted a taste of the real new orleans and we just couldn't say no to that face. then we wanted more of that local flavor so betty says... oh yeah, that's betty. you're going to want to do this alligator thing. and betty didn't lead us wrong. a little later we passed some dancing. and who doesn't like dancing? especially when it's followed by fireworks everyone's nola is different. follow yours. still tracking areas of heavy rain right now across the region, showers forming in and around fairfax county, north and west of waldorf. look at these showers back to the west again, very heavy rain continuing to make its way across the area. and as we see the rain, we'll continue to watch it from winchester, front royal luray. again, very heavy rain, upwards of an inch of rain has fallen to the south and east through fairfax county, around centerville and chantilly, prince william county and across the river to the north and west of waldorf. we'll continue to track storm team4 radar. i'll have the latest in about ten minutes. right now at 6:30, the latest from baltimore where the freddie gray case is now in the hands of prosecutors. the state's attorney's confirmed they received police findings but will rely on their own independent investigation and they asked for patience. >> an attorney for gray's family says they want justice, but they want it, quote, at the right time and not too soon. police, meantime, say nearly 100 officers have been hurt since the violent riots began on monday. 13 have been unable to go back to work. >> once you got in the van, what did you hear? >> i didn't hear nothing. it was a smooth ride. we went straight to the police staipgs. awful i heard was a little banging for like four seconds. you know what i ust heard little banging, you know. just little -- i mean, boom boom, just little banging. >> that's the account from the man who rode in the same police van as freddie gray after he was arrested. he talked about what he heard with jane miller from our sister station in baltimore. right now there's yet another protest at city hall in baltimore going on even in the rain. >> nbc's jay gray joins us from there where the city is once again preparing for a 10:00 curfew. jay? >> reporter: doreen, jim, protests breaking up behind me, but there was a large crowd here maybe 300, 350 protesters angry, emotional about what's going on here and wanting an answer to just one simple question. how did freddie gray die? there is new information and questions tonight in the death of freddie gray, the 25-year-old who was severely injured and later died after being apprehended by baltimore police. today investigators revealed the transport van gray was riding in made a previously unknown stop the day he was arrested. >> this new stop has been -- was discovered from a privately owned camera. >> reporter: citing the integrity of the process it's the only information police shared publicly today after turning over initial reports of their investigation into gray's death to the state's attorney. >> making sure that we look and overturn every rock is more important than just coming foernlg offorth and giving a document. >> reporter: still, we're learning new details in a case. a charging document obtained by nbc news indicates after fleeing from officers gray was apprehended without force, taken into custody for alleged possession of a switch-blade knife. as the investigation continues so does the effort to heal. today members of the baltimore ravens delivered food and supplies to families in the areas most affected by the riots. >> just giving these people hope that a better day will be on the horizon. >> reporter: hope this community desperately needs right now. now more protests are scheduled here and across the country through this week. police, the national guard say they will maintain their presentation and the curfew for as long as necessary. that's the latest live in baltimore, jay gray doreen back to you. >> thank you, jay. many of you may remember that baltimore was the scene of major riot rioting in 1968 after the death of dr. martin luther king jr. we've posted two maps on our website that compare where those 1968 riots happened and where this week's unrest erupted. today the environmental

way to settle a debt with the irs could be too good to be true. april 15th has come and gone, but that doesn't mean that everyone has paid their tax debt to the irs. consumer reporter erika gonzalez has a warning about hiring companies that advertise tax debt relief services. >> i called these people up, and they said they could help me. >> darrel ray eckert of charles county, maryland, has serious tax debt to the point the irs eventually threatened to take his house. eckert owes more than $9,000 to the state and more than $27,000 to the federal government a total of more than $36,000 in back-taxes. >> when i started getting more depressed about my taxes i owed, i looked in the telephone book. >> reporter: eckerd saw an ad for help wall and associates incorporated advertising it solves tax problems. that's when eckard picked up the phone. >> they said they could help me with my taxes and everything. they would send somebody out to talk to me. >> reporter: when a company tax consultant visited him, he brought a contract. >> i signed a contract, an initial fee up front. >> reporter: $3,000 up pront plus an additional $400 each month to wall and associates. he did so for more than a year and $8,000 later eckard said he questioned what the company actually accomplished for him. >> i contacted them many times about that, and they kept on saying they're just working on the case and that i needed to send them more money for them to keep working on the case. >> reporter: we contacted wall and associates, the company says it performed a lot of work on eckard's case, which included preparing an officer and compromise to the irs and maintaining regular contact with eckard. the company says it does not make any guarantees on the outcome of a person's case, which is stated in eckard's contract. did any of the $8000 go towards your tax burden? >> no, ma'am. >> reporter: wall and associates confirmed eckard still owed his full debt after payments to the company. but the company says the irs will close a review of an offer in compromise if it doesn't receive information it requests. wall and associationes says this is what happened in eckard's case. they say he didn't provide the information the company needed in a timely manner. but eckard argues he sent the same documents multiple times after the company continued to ask for the same information. eckard says throughout his case he spoke with at least nine different people. wall went on to say its average settlement for a client is 10% of what's owed to the irs. when it comes to looking for tax relief services the federal trade commission warns, if a company requires a fee in advance, walk away. as for eckard, he's now on a payment plan with the irs. >> the $8000 that i paid this company i could have paid to the irs and got my debt down. so basically right now my $8,000 is lost. >> can't afford to pay your taxes? the first thing you do is contact the irs for free help. it's got different programs and payment plans. if you decide to hire help, make sure the company has enrolled agents and then check with the irs to make sure the agent is in good standing. you can check our consumer

try to bring businesses into neighborhoods that don't have enough businesses. >> at one point a student asked a president about technology when he was young. president obama joked they barely even used calculators until he was in high school and said nobody in his high school had a computer in school. >> they probably didn't believe him. >> i'm going to leave it at that. >> everybody has a computer in their hands. >> they probably didn't. >> i talk to the kids all the time and tell them we didn't have the internet when i went to college. that's really hard to believe. this stuff has all been coming up recently. a wealth of knowledge out there. so trouble out there? >> trouble right now for some. it is really coming down. where it's raining, it's raining hard. that rain continues in many parts of the area, especially in through parts of northern virginia and baltimore, around howard county seeing some of that heavier rain. look around the luray region, back towards front royal, winchester leesburg, just south into parts of fairfax county again, very heavy rain. here is shf the some of the heaviest rain clark county, right down i-81, 66 toward front royal. front royal getting pounded right now with very heavy rain, some areas reporting 1 to 2 inches. rappahannock a lot of rain falkier, along 66 i guarantee 66 is not a very fun ride tonight. and then take a look around the woodbridge area, look around i-95, a little bit of lightning here. but it's really the heavy rain that continues right down from around newington, springfield, through lorton, woodbridge, quantico. one more zoom toward woodbridge, we'll show you exactly where this is. right around woodbridge and where lorton intersects with route 1. very heavy rain. we're continuing to see this area of spin. it allows the storms to develop and allows them to cool. that's why we saw hail in many parts of the region today. not big hail, but we saw pea to penny-sized hail in the area. dropping into the 60s, showers tonight, and most likely into the day tomorrow. i do think tomorrow morning's rush will have showers likely. heads-up for that give yourself some extra time tomorrow. then on saturday a high of 70 30% chance of an afternoon shower. sunday, 76 of 76 plenty of sunshine monday a temperature around 80 degrees. it is really going to be quite nice. tuesday 82 and our wednesday temperature around 80 degrees. the weather gets much, much better. i have an itch! we've got a busy night in sports coming up. what are we going to do with that fifth pick in the nfl draft? also, caps focused on getting a win against the rangers. we're live in chicago and new york, and doug is dying over he >> announcer: this is the xfinity sports desk, brought to you by xfinity your home for the most live sports. welcome back to news4, everyone. jason pew here with you in studio. good time to be a d.c. sports fan. tonight in new york, the capitals start their series with the rangers, second round of the playoffs. also in chicago, first round of the nfl draft taking place. that's where we start tonight. dianna russini is in the windy city. dianna, what are you hearing about who the redskins will take with that fifth overall pick? >> reporter: well, first a lot of people were thinking that maybe the redskins would take a quarterback. but i can tell you that gm scott mcleunen is sitting at redskins park in the war room with jay gruden. they are going to kons trailt on building up their defense. dante fowler jr. out of florida is a guy you're going to want to keep an eye on tonight. he's a defensive end, really athletic. athletic. he's big. he's strong. he could start on this team come august. now if fowler gets picked before the redskins get to him, look for offensive tack embrandon scherff. rg 3, these guys need protection. this guy could do it. he's well coached, out of iowa, a left tackle. he has improved every single season. now, gm scott mcllewyn just wants to take the best guy on the board. >> we're not going to draft for need. even in free agency we didn't go in thinking we're going to go to defense. we went in and it worked out to be defense. we're going to approach free agency and the draft every year the same. it's just getting good football players. you always have injuries. there's trade tuptdopportunities and stuff like that. if you keep stockpiling good flair players the organization is going no the right direction. >> reporter: all eyes are on the fifth pick, but i think a lot of fans should watch the gm's choices. this is his first test since he's been gm of the redskins. so it will be really interesting to see how that goes. and lots of people -- we've got a redskins fan here. you guys excited for tonight? >> absolutely. >> reporter: who do you think they're taking? >> a new owner. >> rg3's replacement. >> reporter: they're not going to do that. guys, we know the draft is here in chicago. let's go out to the city where the draft used to be held where we'll find carol maloney at madison square garden. carol? >> reporter: hey, we missed you by a year, dianna. we've heard a lot about the history of the caps/rangers in the playoffs but it's what's happened more recently that has the caps' attention right now. against them in season the caps are 1-3. the rangers finished the regular season with the best record in the league, now the hands down favorite to win the cup. caps have other ideas, of course. we can guarantee a good series though, if braden holtby stays hot and plays like he did in the first round. also, washington needs to wear them down with their brute strength and come out with the same physical style that won them game seven versus the islanders. alex ovechkin has some strong words about how important it is to play what he calls "our way". >> if we don't go and play our way we're going to give them easy breaks. the season is going to be over for us. we have to stay the course and be the same group of guys that we have been all year. >> it's a whole new ball game. it starts from scratch. you know, we're just going to go out there obviously like to come back in the lead. we're going to definitely try to do that. the main thing for us is have good energy in the first. >> any team that comes out fast in the first period is a difficult team to play against. if we can even that first period out a little bit, it gives us a really good chance. >> reporter: and a really good chance for redemption. you don't have to go back too far to know that the last two playoff trips for the caps ended at the hands of the rangers in seven games. jason, i can tell you that i think the caps would like to think the broadway boy vzs have it coming to them. >> thanks, carol and dianna. 7:30 start time tonight in new york. the nfl draft gets under way at 7:00. should be interesting to see who the redskins pick up with that fifth overall pick. it won't be an owner by the way. >> don't you love live tv? >> that was

of baltimore for the fourth night this week over the death of freddie gray who died after suffering critical injuries in police custody. the protesters are demanding justice and police and national

what they have to see. >> then see what we were able to accomplish here and made me feel so proud of my brothers and sisters. >> this is a lengthy process. it's not an overnight process. some of them have been led to believe or at least thought that tomorrow a verdict would be rendered but this is just the first step in a long lengthy process. >> many people who live out here in baltimore tell me that they are growing impatient. they are frustrated and they want to know how freddie gray received the spinal cord injuries. also many tell me that they are getting ready for this weekend, gearing up for the protests. live in baltimore, i'm shomari stone, news 4. >> thank you, shomari. much of the destruction done in baltimore was literally fueled by fire. now, there is a search for the people who started those fires. the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms is offering a $10,000 reward for information. more than 140 vehicles were torched, and at least 19 buildings were set on fire during the violence on monday. peaceful protests in philadelphia turned into a shoving match this evening as demonstrators there clashed with police. hundreds marched in solidarity with the people of baltimore. things got rowdy when the crowds started pushing their way towards an expressway in the middle of the city. no word yet on any arrests. a similar scene played out last night in new york city. today some of the protesters blasted the police department for what they called an overly aggressive response. police arrested more than like 140 people up there yesterday. the commissioner says officers stepped in when the demonstrators ignored orders to stay out of the streets. >> new video of the hail that fell tonight in arlington, take a look. heavy rain and lightning also part of the storms that came through here this afternoon. the storms are gone now but we're not done with the rain yet. are we doug. >> not done with rain at all. still have a lot of hail reports. no big hail reports. most were soft ice pellets and soft hail. a lot of reportsch ice and a lot of reports of lightning earlier, but now all of that is pushed off towards the west. you can see where the lightning

morning in my full forecast. >> thank you, doug. learning new details about how a guy accused in a vicious attack at a metro station last year allegedly did the same thing last year. news 4's jackie benson reports now from eastern market. >> news 4 has learned this suspect allegedly did something very similar a year ago but got off with a light punishment because the traumatized victim couldn't identify him. this time it's on video. the attack on the escalator at the metro station was sudden and shocking. metro transit police believe 19-year-old elijah smith is responsible for last week's incident that left a 69-year-old man with very serious injury. >> we spent a lot of money upgrading our system and rely on it every day for situational awareness and the cameras proved very prudent that day. with those cameras we identified them. >> news 4 learned smith is still on probation for a similar brutal attack in naof 2014. the victim in that case was an actor who just finished a performance in downtown silver spring. he too, was very seriously injured. >> he's currently on probation for another incident involved in montgomery county and we need to believe that the individual has to come off the street. >> reporter: if convicted, he faces tougher penalties this time which allows for enhanced penalties if the victim is over 65. jackie benson, news 4. >> a man in d.c. is

the nfl draft. surprised or not? >> i'm not surprised at all. they weren't able to get dante fowler so they got brandon sheriff and he's been to the capital one time and that was when he was in the boy scouts and now he hopes to make d.c. his permanent home. played in iowa and all across the offensive line. head coach jay gruden says he wants him at right tackle and wants to protect robert

few years from taking people up into orbit. there are people who call breast milk human breast milk liquid gold. that's because on open market it can sell for hundreds of dollars. it's being sold on the internet and it's being bought by all kind of people from mothers desperate to feed their babies to men with sexual fetishes. this freezer is full of alma's extra breast milk. she produed too much after her youngest daughter was born and didn't want it to go to waste. >> why not try to sell it to someone that might need it so i was hoping this might be extra supplemental income. >> she posted an add on only -- thebreast.com, a website promising women to sell or donate their breast milk. alma's price, $2.50 an ounce with a discount for any local buyers >> i don't drink alcohol. i don't smoke. i eat very healthy. i'm sure my milk is on the top, you know top shelf quality. >> i would recommend is that you do not buy milk from strangers. >> nancy mallan is a lactation specialist at the university of washington and says buying milk on the internet is risky. you don't know what the donor mother is putting into her body and substances like drugs and alcohol can easily be transmitted into the breast milk. even more alarming research out last month found about 10% of milk samples purchased on line contained cow's milk meaning the human milk had been diluted and a separate stud fre2013 found the majority of samples tested contained disease-causing bacteria. how do you know what it is? there's no regulations. >> reporter: instead, mothers in need should try breast milk banks where the milk is pasteurized to make sure it's safe. trouble is it's difficult to access them. only babies born prematurely or those who can get a doctor's note qualify. >> i looked into milk banks and they were mostly for nicu babies so with my daughter adopted there was not necessarily a need for her to have breast milk. >> reporter: 35-year-old nicki adopted baby zoe last year. since she couldn't produce breast milk herself she went online to websites like this one, human milk for human babies. she was looking for a done tore who would give it for her free. >> if you buy it online it has the ability to possibly be tampered with. >> reporter: after screening potential donors she found a few that could supply her with enough milk to keep her babe happy and healthy. alma bruffy says she was hoping to find someone like nicki but someone willing to pay. after sifting through dozens of responsibles to her add, including potential s and even men looking for breast milk for sexual reasons, she finally found the perfect buyer ten miles away from her home in virginia. >> she can see me and meet my baby which is so important. >> good shot! >> reporter: the food and drug administration does not recommend buying anyone else's breast milk but experts tell us if you are going to share with another mother look for somebody you know like a friend or a relative. you might not want to think about it but next time it snows you just might be able to sled at the capitol without worrying about getting busted. a house committee passed a bill today that includes a provision that would allow sledding on capitol grounds. there's a ban on sledding at capitol, but early last month dozens of families went out and defied it. the bill that contains the measure still has to pass the full house. >> that still doesn't seem that long ago, does it? >> yeah. it really wasn't. >> and what a difference it is today. >> what a difference it is not just today but over the next couple of days. we'll probably have the best weather we've seen so far this yore and by that we're getting to 80 in a couple of days and that's what most people have been asking for. can we get a couple of 80s in a row? >> yes. let's take a look outside to show you how things are. saw a lot of rain coming through. one to two inches fell in fairfax county fauquier and now the rain is off towards the west and back towards hamshire county and hardy and west virginia and west of winchester down around the shenandoah valley. that continues to move west. this is the area right here. winchester martinsburg saw rain all evening long but it's finally moving off and back into portions of 50 as it makes its way in towards west virginia. >> few showers, a heavy shower over towards waldorf and more showers down around king george county and 301. that's the next round that we're going to be seeing here. talk about that in a second. temperatures 58 not bad. winds out of the north at 8 miles per hour. as we look towards the rest of the area. 54 winchester and 56 in fredericksburg and 58 over towards huntingtown. what we've been watching is two storms the upper level low, that's what gave us the moisture earlier today. you can actually see that spin here in the atmosphere. watch this. beautiful spin in the atmosphere and then look at this moisture right off the coast here. watch how it moves off, and then starts to move back in and in response to the upper low so it's being dragged back in off the coast or off the ocean. that's what's going to give us a chance for showers tomorrow night and into tomorrow morning and we have new information. this is very good news. if you don't want it to rain. most of the rain moves out and look at what happens by 6:00 a.m. down to the south of the metro area. not anticipating much in the way of the morning commute. earlier from gaithersburg to d.c. and lexington park and mechanicsville and by 11:00 everybody is on dry side. most of the day tomorrow is hooking dry. temperatures into the mid-60s. right along the bay here only 62 in annapolis and 65 in manassas and showers tomorrow isolated. i don't think for the most part you probably even the even need your umbrella tomorrow and you can put the umbrella away for the weekend. 80 on saturday and 30% chance of a light shower and sunday 76 and then this is what i'm talking about. 80 degrees on monday and 82 degrees on tuesday. we get to 80 degrees again on wednesday. that's three days in a row at 80 thursday yeah i went down to 76 but, let's just shoot for 80 then too. >> we like it. thank you, doug. >> so our football guys made their first picks and the ♪ there is no royal blood in this country. nothing is reserved for anyone. it's all just out there... ...waiting... ...for someone to reach out... ...and take it. and the ones who do... ...these are the kings and queens of america. ♪ in d.c. we are on a roll. jason, am i right in. >> we are. i didn't think we'd see this again after last week. back again this week. we can all get used to this. >> absolutely. >> another special night for all the local sports teams. carol maloney is out in new york where capitals took game one over rangers, but first we'll head out to chicago. dianna was there for first round of the nfl draft. you said redskins would go pass rusher or offensive line. what was it about brandon scher schereff the number one pick? >> how many times did we see robert griffin iii or colton mccoy get sacked? the redskins think they have found the answer to that problem. a source of the redskins says he's a top-notch football character and that's really important for the redskins. he is well-coached and he has shown improvement year after year when he played at iowa. now, recently new gm said he wanted a big nasty player. that was the kind of guy he wanted to draft and that's exactly what he's getting. >> you know i like to consider myself to be a nasty football player and want to jump in and earn all the respect from the teammates first and learn the plays and go out and improve with all the guys. seeing that phone ring on table, just a big weight lifted off your shoulders and now you can figure out what we're doing next. >> guys redskins fans should be really excited about this pick an offensive line coach bill callahan should definitely be very excited about this pick. i know there

top of the circle and and it's ovie who scores. his third goal of the playoffs puts the caps up 1-0. rangers would tie it up with 4:30 to play but you play until the final whistles. seconds to go ovechkin passes back to joel ward in front of the net. 1.3 seconds left and what a pass by ovie and wardo's new nickname is captain clutch. >> i was just screaming for ovie and took a crack at it and it went in. big hoopla going on afterwards. unbelievable feeling. i thought we worked hard. they had a little bit of momentum there towards the end but just what this team is capable of doing and fought pretty hard and deserved the big win. >> ward-o ovie backstrom and holtby he was holt-beeston. a focused bunch after a thrilling victory. live from madison square garden carol maloney, back to

4 traffic tracker is out on the roads this helps explain why we have so many crashes here in that area this morning. inner loop has cleared near the toll road but we have the problem 66 west at the toll road with the two right lanes blocked. then westbound route 7 at georgetown pike. be careful 66, 95, all of those areas are a bit wet this morning. in laurel, southbound route 1, we have emergency road work from overnight. 270 in general looking quite good. now, you might be delayed a bit in the district this weekend. that is because we'll start to see new road closures around the 3rd street tunnel. megan mcgrath has more on when those will start. going to be nasty, megan. >> reporter: yeah, we are going to see some slow downs in the area. the 3rd street tunnel project has become quite a choke spot and now we have another lane closure that's happening over the weekend that people need to be aware of. it will cause some delays in the area. we are talking about the off ramp from northbound 395 to massachusetts avenue. it's going to go down to just one lane. that closure is going to take effect at 12:01 saturday and it's going to stay closed or stay down to -- be down to just that one lane for 17 to 19 months. the area is already a big construction zone and this is just going to add to the congestion in the area. also something to keep in mind police have lowered the speed limit through the work zone on 395 to just 35 miles an hour. and they're going on the putting a -- to be putting a speed camera in the work zone to make sure that people keep their speeds down. there's a lot of activity in the area. a lot of construction workers in the area so they want people to keep the speeds down. so right now, we have the two lanes open with that ramp. but that's all going to change this weekend. back to you all in the studio. >> all right, megan, thank you. 4:35 now. investigators say beasley shot conte and another man in the takoma neighborhood. and the other
