We are still working to find out why. Dominic simons is charged with robbing, kidnapping, and sexually assaulting a 16yearold boy. It happened monday at 3 00 in the afternoon. The teen says simon struck up a conversation with him at the bethesda metro station and borrowed his phone, but then wouldnt give the teenager his phone back. When the teen chased after this guy to get his phone, thats when the suspect allegedly told him he had a gun and threatened to shoot him if he didnt do what he told him to do.

That killed one person and sent 80 more others to the hospital this month when a metro tunnel filled with smoke. Bruce leshan is live at metro headquarters with the breakdown. Bruce .

Metro has now rewritten its standard operating procedures. So now the minute the train stops, any train stops for smoke, the operator is instructed to shut off the air intake. Metro has also worked with d. C. Fire and adjusted the configuration where metros antennas intersect with d. C. Fire
