Reminder you can get the alerts on breaking news. Like this. Right on your phone. All you have to do is go to wjla. Com. And sign up for those right there. Leon now in d. C. , three students. Today the district began testing more kids for lead exposure. This is after elevated levels were found in their schools. D. C. Bureau chief sam ford broke the story last week and he joins us now live from southeast with the latest on this testing. Sam . Sam im in front of Simon Elementary School. Only reason im here is because this is where d. C. Officials decided to come to demonstrate to reporters what they are going to do about looking for lead in the citys system. This has been an issue for a while. Traces of lead were found. Children were tested. So today officials talked about that. Here at Simon Elementary School in southeast there are no lead issues but d. C. Officials brought in reporters to show them how the city or the next 30 days will test every water source at all 113 d. C. Public schools. This comes one day after students like a logan had their blood tested for lead by the city. Parents learned the d. C. Department of General Services found lead at 20 times the acceptable level at one faucet and never sounded the alarm. Josh kraemer had both his children at the school tested. I guess it went out. There are parents inside. I think most of the kids were good sports. I have had way worse. I mean really. Way worse. Sam we heard the school wide results today. We tested 90some children. No child came above a level of concern. Sam d. C. Water director insisted the water main has no lead problem. Problems crop from leaded soldering. They monitor a hundred homes for lead. You are not trying to monitor homes you believe dont have lead. You monitor homes you believe do have lead. You get a hundred samples. Sam we saw samples at a northeast home today. Lead is particularly bad for small children and pregnant women. Hawkins said of the 100 samples they take in general about five of them have elevated lead levels. At that point, its process of trying to find out what is the source of that lead and put a stop to it. That is the same issue that they have when they find lead in the schools. Try to find out what is the source and put a stop to it. Of course, that is what they will be doing. One thing that tommy wells said the director of the department of the environment said they are continuing testing over at the montessori school. They will be testing at payne Elementary School. Testing the children at those schools. But they are not testing the children at miner Elementary School because they dont believe its necessary. Reporting live from southeast washington, im sam ford, abc7 news. Leon thank you, sam. This morning a Senate Committee approved a 220 million aid package for flint, michi for water projects around the country for things like Flood Control and deepening harbors. Flint water crisis started two years ago when the city switched the water source to save money and then the lead bleached in the water system. The u. S. Senate could put on the measure next month. Alison elevated lead levels could have the biggest impact on children. Specifically it can lead to hearing problems. And anemia. Lower i. Q. And behavior and learning problems as well. So, what can you do to find out if there is lead in our water . This is no matter where you live. Our consumer investigator kimberly suiters is here with information we all need to know. Is there right. 7 on your side knocked on the doors of the homes next to Simon Elementary School where you just saw sam ford. People there tell us they have been on edge about lead in the water for a while now. Two families we spoke to today said they have been drinking bottled water as a precaution. A family let 7 on your side test their 7 on your side started at home depot where we picked up three home testing kicks for 30 each. The package says know what is in your water. We figure People Living in the Congress Heights neighborhood would want to know about lead. The folks at this 84yearold home on fifth Street Southeast were kind enough to let us test theirs. We took out a tiny vile. Eye dropper and a paper strip. We collected two drops of straight tap water. Ten minutes later we had the results. If the light blue strip on the right turned darker than the one on the left, that indicates lead in the water. Like a pregnancy test. This one was negative. The c. E. O. Of a company that sells h2o kplus tell usa today they are intended to be screening tests, not intended to certify that water is safe or unsafe. In the meantime the family here is not taking any chances. They have installed a filter to remove lead at the ta protection. 7 on your side talked to a tester in d. C. And flint. If your house was built before 1986 or has a lead service line he says you should be concerned your Drinking Water has been passing through a lead straw. For the home testing kits he said if its positive you can trust that result. If its negative you still do not know for sure. Again for the best protection, that water filter that is nsf 53 certified is your best bet. Back to you. Leon all right. We had some welcome water arrive in the area today. Rainy morning across the area helped clear out the pollen from the cars and the air. And out of the noses and the lungs. Et cetera, et cetera. Once it stopped raining the clouds stuck around, though. Chief meteorologist doug hill with a look at the forecast for the evening. Doug still more showers popping up around the region now. Take a look at the live doppler radar. South and west of wash farther west, heavier isolated thunderstorms popping up. Lets zoom in as a severe thunderstorm warning. I dont think it will survive the trip eastward to the metro area. Closeup of the showers right now. Again, i put them in motion so you can see if you are living over the metro area or to the east. You will see the next batch of showers headed in the direction. The planner tonight calls for showers, cool temperatures. 50 degrees by 11 00 thunderstorm night. Tomorrow we hold with the clouds. We have period of rain. Temperatures again in the 50s.

Brad it was a terrible scene. A man in the in a fourth floor apartment, his fiancee 20 weeks pregnant, stabbed multiple times. Near death. The man claiming they were attacked in their takoma park home by a masked man. Police say it was all lies. His information didnt match up with the injuries he sustained. Brad tonight, Thierry Nkusu is charged with the murder of maria mbunga and will soon be charged with the murder of their unborn baby. Mbunga was 36 and worked as a Montgomery County School Bus Driver out of this Silver Spring depot. As buses prepare for the afternoon routes, a fellow driver sadly shakes her head. No comment she tells us. In takoma park, a crime scene yesterday afternoon neighbors react to the news. I think its horrendous. Its terrible. We live in this kind of world. Brad Court Documents describe a troubled relationship. Mbunga wanting nkusu not wanting a baby. There is mention of african culture and a parents disapproval for the couples relationship. Detectives still trying to fully understand the crime. Its saying people had domestic all the time. You hear it on the news all the time. Its kind of sad. Brad well, for the past couple of hours we have been going over the Court Documents, affidavit, the charging document generated by police. As we said in the story it tells a story of disintegrating relationship. She wanting him out. He didnt want to take care of baby. Another interesting point. The mans father at home in africa found out about the relationship, didnt approve of it and in their culture it says in here that means he would have cut family ties with his son. Police arent saying that was the motive exactly. But it is in these documents. Takoma park, brad bell, abc7 news. Leon thanks, brad.

New information now on a story we brought you a couple of weeks ago. The British Government now says the British Airways plane that was hit by an object while landing at heath row airport was not struck by a drone. Initially police said it was a drone that hit the jet. But the investigation found no sufficient evidence to support the claim. The incident sparked calls for tighter controls on drone usual. Leon an allout blitz is on for metro to clean up the act. General manager Paul Wiedefeld announced the maintenance surge this morning after a month of malfunction on the system. Three and a half hours ago the u. S. Secretary of transportation announced a shakeup on metros board. Brianne carter covering metro for us from the van ness station in northwest washington. Tell us what does it mean for riders . Brianne it means here from the van ness station is single tracking for riders heading in and out of the section of the red line. For the next couple of days as part of a socalled maintenance surge. Over two hours ago workers wrap up the first part of the fourday process of keeping mud and debris away from the track. It comes after days of issue along this stretch of the track. Last saturday smoke filled the tunnel after a train car piece came contact with the third rail. Monday a piece of the rail cracked. There is more than one arcing insulator. Today the general manager said he wanted workers on the tracks inspecting everything. We are going through inspecting the insulators. Replacing them if they need to to be. Looking at all the cables. Cables in general. Track, anything with the third rail itself. Leaks. Brianne you heard him say leaks. That is part of a decadelong problem that has been along this stretch of the red line. Metro canceled a project too expensive to try and rehabilitate all of that. So now they are look for a permanent fix while constantly mitigating the moisture problem here. Now one change that riders will soon see has to do with the metro board. And three new members. We have more coming up tonight at 6 00. Reporting live, brianne carter, abc7 news. Leon look forward to that. Alison no Severe Weather today even though we have the rain.

In the end by the time it moved out, short period of time. Headed east across the chesapeake bay, three people killed. 122 injured. 344 homes and businesses destroyed in the la plata area from that storm. So the winds were, you know, easily at 180 Miles Per Hour in that center of the system. There is even a second tornado, smaller one that came through with it at the same time. Dramatic pattern. It was the tide, there was one other two years before, ef4 tornado in cumberland, maryland. They were two strongest tornadoes recorded in the state of maryland. Today we are in the height of Severe Weather system here, nothing severe locally. As you will see in a minute we have a severe tu this is the drought monitor.

We will bring you that as soon as it gets underway. All for your patience. It has been a goal of ours in baltimore to keep the media informed about critical events that affect our community. Rarely do we keep the media informed about one of your homes. So we want to again thanks fox 45 for their proactive efforts to help us evacuate that building. That saved us a whole lot of time. You guys are to be mended for your active role in this effort. Im going to turn it over to director t. J. Smith. As we said earlier, we have learned several things since we briefed you last. Chances are we will probably brief again tomorrow. As we continue to learn more things about this suspect. Bear with us as we make our way through the information. But its important obviously im preaching to the choir to get you information timely, yet accurate. That is what we want to be. Timely and accurate. I will turn it over to director smith and take some questions. Director t. J. S relations director for the Baltimore Police department. Lets go back to the beginning. 1 20 we got a call at fox 45 on 41st avenue. This is in the 41st street. This is in the area where multiple television stations are, on the main road facing 41st street. 1 20, a person in the lobby with some type of device. We also had a call for a car fire out in front of the location. We were quickly able to determine that car was intentionally set on fire. Bomb squad, arson squad, Baltimore City Fire Department and the Police Department were dispatched. We were also quickly able to learn that this person had essentially barricaded himself inside of the fox 45 news station. So our s. W. A. T. Team and the negotiators were also dispatched to the scene. So all of this is going on around 1 20 this afternoon. While officers were arriving, the fox 45 staff were evacuating the rs employees from the facility. The security person who called it in is not an employee with fox 45 but he was also able to escape after talking to the suspect for several minutes. As this situation was evolving. Apparently the suspect brought in some type of device. We believe a flash drive. And wanted fox 45 to air something on the news. What is it that he wanted him to air is something we are still investigating. We dont know the full answer to that right now. The suspect had on some sort of outfit. Its being described basically as a panda outfit onesie. A onesie type outfit. That was a panda. The suspect is a 25yearold white male. Not from baltimore. We believe he is from howard county, maryland. Again, we are still following up on this investigation as we speak. Im not positively identifying him at this point. We have yet to charge the suspect. He is at a local hospital receiving let me go back to the device he had wrapped around him. He had on some type of surgical mask. He had some type of coat on underneath of this outfit. There was this red device that is being described like maybe a red flotation type device with devices in it that looks like explosives. What we have been able to find out is those devices were actually Chocolate Candy bars wrapped in aluminum foil with wiring connecting each of them. There was also a small motherboard. That motherboard has been described as something that you might see in a fire extinguisher. That was also attached to the contraption. The wire was also running down the sleeve of his jacket into his hand. Basically emulating some type of detonation device. So it does not app actual exexplosives but the appearance of it was to be an actual explosive type device. The suspect was inside of the vestibule area. Our s. W. A. T. Team, our Police Officers were all outside. We were attempting communication with the suspect. The suspect came out of the building. Started to walk in advance across the street toward where officers were staged. Officers were forced to fire upon him. We know at this point three officers fired and struck the suspect. The suspect was shot more than one time. Believe maybe three times. The number can change. The suspect is listed in serious but stable condition at a local hospital here in baltimore. Why did this happen . Why did he wear a replica bomb today . We dont know. We are still investigating this. They used a robot to disarm him. To take the clothing off of him. To in order to move in to provide treatment to him. Once they were able to do that, they were able to closely examine the device and see what it actually was. We are still in the process of clearing the fox 45 building. We were able to account for everyone but Public Safety is the most important thing at this point in time. So, as it stands, that is where we are. The suspect is expected to survive. We will be working with our States Attorney Office as well as our federal partners as we move through with charging. This is going to take more than the time im standing here. It will take more than a couple of days to determine everything that went on here. With that, lets answer questions. Do you know anything about this guys history . Leon all right. You have been listening to Baltimore Police officials describing for us what has been happening at the sister station wbff with the stan appears now to have been a panda costume with a surge call mask and surgical mask and a flotation device that had wiring on it that simulated a bomb. They have determined it was not a bomb. I was chocolate bars with wires on it. Alison at this point they are saying that suspect was shot as many as three times. He is still listed in serious but stable condition and expected to survive. No one else was hurt in this incident in baltimore. We will continue to follow that for you. Leon one other thing we have to determine here that was new in this, since the last briefing they do know who the person is. Its a 25yearold white male from howard county. Not from baltimore. They are not giving up his identity yet. Not ready to do that but they know who it is. Alison okay. Lets move on to other news of the day. Emotional sentencing today in a murder case which is judge declared was fueled by a desire for Illegal Drugs and greed. As Montgomery County reporter kevin lewis tells us despite a convicted killer says he is innocent. Kevin miles and a pack of unknown men entered a Silver Springs home in march. What is the address of the emergency . Kevin someone dialed 911 as miles fatally beat 23yearold tenant mark st. Aubine with a baseball bat and knife. In the scuffle, he used the registered handgun to shoot miles. Seen here being wheeled into a local hospital a short while later. Police used the bullets in the body and the d. N. A. On the shoes to link him to the murder. While in jail, miles was recorded on the phone telling his give to shut down her facebook account. I said delete it for a few months. You know what im saying. Yeah. I dont need no slipups. Kevin during trial and today at sentencing, a repeat felon claimed no he made up a rather fantastic story at the time of trial reject by the jury in this matter about what the circumstances that brought him to that house. In court, loved ones remember st. Aubine as sensitive, caring and kind. Drew attention to miles total lack of repentance. I dont think there was anybody that could say otherwise. He never showed a moment remorse. Kevin so unless Maryland Governor signs off on the Early Release miles will spend the next 50 years in prison. He likely wont see freedom until turning 79. Kevin lewis, abc7 news. Alison at least four people are dead after a wall of garbage collapsed at a landfill. This is in guatemala city. Hundreds of rescuers now there picking through the site.
