But thats how some president ial candidates seem to be dealing with social security. Americans work hard, and pay into it. Trong. elephant noise donkey noise hey candidates, answer the call already. Were working new details in the breaking news we just told you about. At the top of the hour. Metro Transit Police just tweeted out this picture. This is a surveillance photo of two additional suspects. Wanted in connection with the shooting at the Anacostia Metro station today. This is in addition to the two teenagers they already arrested. This shooting struck a nerve with some riders because its the latest violent incident in the past two weeks. Adam tuss is live at the Anacostia Metro station. Some riders see a trend here, but do the Transit Police see it that way . We asked metro Transit Police if theyre going te more resources in different areas. He mentioned that he was going to be focusing more Police Officers on trains. Take a listen to whey told us. Is there any extra effort to have more Police Officers on trains, physically on trains . We are. Were always looking at our process. Is it better on the mezzanine, better on the platform, better on the train. Were shifting to see more crime on the trains, were making an effort to be on the trains. If youre in a sixcar train, eightcar train. I could be one car away and the crime occurs the next car over. Its something we constantly got to work at. Obviously they realize theres a little shift here is whats happening with crime on the system. That more of these things seem to be happening actually with the train and the focus and theyre going to be shifting some of their resources there. You heard him say toward the train side of things, moving some officers around. So go through again the tactics, the plans that metro Transit Police have to make pe safer riding the trains. More Transit Police . What else do they plan to do . Well so metro Transit Police are talking about something to make themselves more visible and on trains and in platforms and in stations. They actually want to change their uniform to make it more of a bright neon color. So that they would be more visible to anybody who is thinking about doing anything bad in the system. So Transit Police certainly are hearing riders, theyre hearing from people that they feel uneasy in the system that they dont necessarily feel as safe as they once did and theyre adjusting. You see this with the train tactic and now with their uniforms as well. Pat . What are the riders telling you about what happened . As you can imagine here at the anacostia station, people who, this is their home metro station, when we told them that there was a shooting that had happened here. Some had already heard the news, theyre uneasy about it. A lot of people will tell you they feel safe riding metro and they feel like Transit Police are doing what protect them. But a at the end of the day youve got to have able to get on the train and get off the train and have no incident. Metro has been described as moving geography. 750,000 trips a day taken on what is the nations second busiest subway system and people are moving in every which direction. Its not an easy thing to police, but riders certainly a little uneasy. Transit police trying to ease some of those concerns. All right. Adam tuss, scary day there in anacostia today. Thank you. You know we saw adams live shot. You can see the umbrella and you can see the rain still coming down. People in raincoats Walking Around behind him. Doug, tell us what the night is going to be like, and whats the timeline on all the rain thats coming . Well the rain is going to continue. Its going to be on the light side through early tomorrow morning. Then were going to start to deal with the heavier rain tomorrow. Thats when we have the chance for strong to severe storms. Thats our city cam trying to take a look at the city, kind of hard when youre dealing with that much rain across the area. Light rain, drizzle thats falling at the airport. 44 degrees, winds out of the north at 12 miles per hour. That makes for a very chilly day. Were in the 30s to the north. Only 37 in frederick, with the rain coming down. 42 in fredericksburg. Not only is it raining, but its chilly rain. Look at the rain thats coming down the steadiest. We have drizzle around the d. C. Area. The radar does not do a good job of picking up that drizzle. Heres where the rain is coming down steady along 15, leesburg, up to the frederick area, clarksburg and urbana, to gaithersburg. That was wave number one, we talked about this yesterday, coming in two waves. Wave one coming through today. Wave two coming in through tomorrow. Look at this storm. This is a sprengingtime storm, march, april, may type storm happening in the month of february. El nino fueling this storm. Look at the signature, the curve of the storm. The spin of the storm. Br new orleans, under the gun now for a pretty severe tornado threat day. Thats what theyre going to be watching. For us, that threat comes in tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow morning, just the showers. Theyll continue to be out there during the morning hours. So take the umbrella. By 9 00, just about everybody starting to get back in on the action. And then at 11 00, we start to see heavier showers making their way in here. But the real heavy stuff doesnt come in until late in t afternoon. Around 1 00, notice everything is green here, the light to moderate rain. Here comes the heavy rain. Around 4 00. These could be with some thunderstorms so we could see some incredibly heavy rain. We could see strong winds. Thats Something Else well be watching. Even around 6 00 and around the 8 00 hour, still watching for that your weather impacts for tomorrow, tornado threat, its not way down. Its actually pretty far up for especially for this time of year. Between low and medium. Thats something were going to be watching, especially down in the southern zones.

Although he says hell revisit the decision after the november election. Mcconnell acknowledges the president s right to nominate a justice. But said the senate has a right to withhold its consent. New at 4 00, Consumer Reports releases its list of 2016s top picks for cars. Yeah, we know a lot of you consider it the best of the best. And even hold off buying a car until you see where it ranks. Consumer reporter susan hogan is here to break down the results and rankings. We love this report, dont we . We all wait for this one. Consumer reports recently tested 200 cars in ten categories this year a korean c m the kia sorrento is the Consumer Reports 2016 top pick, midsized suv. For years, toyota has won this category, but the sorrento has overtaken it. Its got a powerful engine. It does great in crash tests, its very strong reliability. And the great thing is you get inside of it, and it feels luxurious, it feels like youve spent a whole lot more money than you actually did. Toyota did earn two spots on the list, the camera, among midsized cars and the toyota siena in minivans. To be a Consumer Reports top pick a vehicle needs to drive beautifully. Have a strong record of reliability. It needs to be a car that makes its owners happy and it needs to be safe. Subaru nabbed two spots, impresident a in small cars and forester for small suvs. We like subarus because theyre super practical. Really fuelefficient and for such small cars on the outside, they feel really large on the inside. Only two american cars made the list this year. Large cars, and the ford f150 among pickups. Ford took a really big gamble by switching its f150 from steel to aluminium construction, it paid off with better fuel economy and acceleration and in crack tests it fared elreally well. And the mazda mx5 earns the top spot for sports cars. The miata is totally inpractical. But its fun. Two more Consumer Reports top picks ro
