They could say, yes, he was wounded, but there was that set off a chain of things. One thing connected to another. Is it a direct enough cause, or is it too indirect to sustain, you know its one thing for the coroner to say his death is a homicide. Its another thing for a swrir to say that. You know, again, these are all decision that the federal authorities are going to have to make. We are a long way from that. This is something im sure theyre going to take some time. Theres no rush here because they essential know where John Hinckley is. Right. At the very least its an interesting footnote to history. Have we heard from the brady family . No, we have not. Or the hinckleys. No, this is just just happened. Interesting turn today. Pete, thanks so much for coming over. We appreciate it. My pleasure. Meanwhile, in other news closer to home, a loving mother and grandmother. Thats how a woman killed on the beltway is being remembered tonight. Mourners gathered to pay final respects to karen holtwilliams this afternoon. She died in a bizarre crash involve aing cadet with the maryland state police. News 4 derek ward live in college park with more on the story for us. Derek. Reporter well, this all involved an acde iolng civn ee the maryland state police, and today the victim who died in that crash laid their Family Member to rest. The Family Members of that victim laid her to rest. What they havent laid to rest is their search for answers. Reporter mourners gathered to say goodbye to a woman who died in a beltway crash one week ago today. The august 1st accident on the beltway near route 50 claimed the life of karen holtwilliams. Holts sisterinlaw was among the mourners. She really is. Reporter the 59yearold mother of five and granh of five had taught in the d. C. , Prince Georges County, and Montgomery County schools and worked as a cartographer and ran a child car business. She was actually on her way to get her certification to return to teaching when the accident happened, and the family is still in search of answers. They really dont know why this happened. We now have a little better idea of what, but we dont know why. Reporter her car was hit by an suv making a uturn, using a cutthrough in the median from the inner loop to the outer loop. Traffic was moving too slow. Ae replied the brakes too hard over compensated, and the vehicle skidded back to the left sideswiping the vehicle that ms. Holtwilliams was in. Reporter the suv was an unmarked state Police Vehicle being driven by a state police cadet with another cadet in the passenger seat. Attorney williams, who is not related to the victims, says the family only learned that fact through a news report about the accident. Cadets are technically civilian employees of the state without police power. There certainly is, i would imagine, going to be an officer or two who is going to have to come forward or somethinging to be brought forward to explain how exactly the cadet did get to have keys to a maryland state Police Vehicle because he certainly couldnt have gotten into the vehicle and driven it off by himself. Reporter there are two investigations. One is administrative, and one is based on the actual crash reconstruction. Both will be sent to the state attorneys office. Now we have heard from a spokesperson from the state police who tells us there is indeed an investigation into whether or not that cadet was following the proper procedures laid out for civilian employees of state police. It will ultimately be up to the u. S. Attorney for Prince Georges County as to whether charges will be filed.

Military action in iraq as that humanitarian crisis unfolds there. Nbc news has confirmed a second round of air strikes within just the past few hours. U. S. Planes have launched an air strike against not just one, but two. Both strikes were around the city of irbil. U. S. Allies and diplomats are in that city. Those attacks are aimed at disabling the military group known as isis. Theyre accused of capturing and killing members of religious minorities. The federal Aviation Administration is also suspending all flights over iraq, and president obama, while authorizing the air strikes, said we are not going back to war. Nbcs Kristen Welker is live with more on the big gomts developments and what they all mean. Kristen. Well, good evening, wendy. Were learning more about the thinking here behind the skinz at the white house. White house officials saying that the president is not putting a timeline on these air strikes, which means that they could continue for as long as is deemed necessary. Also important to highlight, the administration is not ruling out the possibility of escalating its military offensive against isis. That is not the preference. That is not the desired goal. They want these air strikes to be limited, but White House Press secretary john ernest earlier today said president obama would evaluate and have to reassess if it was believed that isis was not being deterred by these initial rounds of air strikes. So theyre really launching a threepronged approach to this crisis, wendy. First, the humanitarian response. Getting food and water to those people who are trapped on that mountain. That came yesterday during that airdrop in which the administration delivered 8,000 prepackaged meals. 5,300 gallons of water. Then the air strikes that weve been talking about. They are also increasing their aid and military aid to the forces, the kurdish fighters there who retreated as isis was gaining ground in the northwest part of iraq. They could be key to helping to deal with the situation and getting those transit people off of that mountain. President obama heads to marthas vineyard, tomorrow for his vacation where he will continue to monitor the situation from there. Back to you. Kristen welker at the white house. Thanks, kristen. Coming up in 20 minutes well hear from iraqis who are living in our area, but they are fearful of what isis may do that are still in the wartorn country. News 4s Kristen Wright had that story. That is coming up a little later at 6 25. Right now police are calling off the lookout for an suv spotted at a maryland gas station where a snack shop clerk was killed. They tell us theyve located the driver now who they thought may have witnessed the crime, but at this point there are still no arrests. Surveillance video shows a robber walking into the exxon snack shop in hanover and immediately he tried to start shooting. Raj kumar was killed. He was a father sending money back to his family in india. New at 5 00, a virginia teacher will be spending more than a decade in prison after he pled guilty to child pornography charges. A judge has now sentenced ralph conrad to 13 years, plus 20 years of supervised probation. Police arrested him last september on charges of child porn possession and distribution. Conrad had been a teacher at lowden county working most recently in sterling. Investigators say no students were involved. Tonight talk in richmond centers around two witnesses in the bob mcdonald corruption trial. A helpful halo effect. Thats how a former Star Scientific executive described the support the mcdonalds gave his company and its new product, but it took a different view of the first ladys desire to join the board, and the former administration insider was asked about gift hoarding. Northern Virginia Bureau chief julie carey joins us live from richmond with the latest developments on this friday. Julie. Reporter well, week two of the trial just came to a close. Maureen mcdonald just left the courthouse and came down the street. Well probably see the former governor stepping out soon. That key witness, paul pirito, he used to be a federal prosecutor before he joined Star Scientific. He said he didnt know his close colleague Johnny Williams was giving the mcdonalds gifts until the investigation began in early 2013. He says bere that he welcomed the support the mcdonalds were giving his company. Reporter indeed paul perito had a lot to say on the witness stand. He was Star Scientifics Board Chairman when Johnny Williams was ceo. He testified at first he was wary when williams told him he was befriending bob and Maureen Mcdonald in hopes of getting support for their new dietary supplement, but perito was won over, especially when he went to an august 2011 lunch at the Governors Mansion with University Researchers on the very day star launched a product. He says Johnny Williams was on cloud nine, and even though bob mcdonald arrived late, he says the governors presence provided gravitas for star. A different reaction in 2012 when he was asked whether Maureen Mcdonald could join Star Scientifics board of directors. He said i thought it was the worst idea i ever heard. Its a they canet of potential conflict. He says the first lady also lacked qualifications. Williams delivered the bad news for maureen. What did johnny say about her reaction, asked the prosecutor. He said she was really pissed. His comments werent the only ones that added to the unflattering portrait that emerged this week of Maureen Mcdonald. The governors deputy chief of staff, matt conrad, answers why he first trained the lady to account for gifts even though shes not required to complete the forms. Her own attorney pressed conrad. Were there any concerns the first lady was putting gifts in closets, hoarding gifts . Conrad, i had heard that there were piles of gifts or things that were being put in closets that needed tobacco knowledged or determined who they were intended for. But conrads parting words were praise for bob mcdonald. In my experience with the governor is that he is a fine man who did a lot of good for the community, and im grateful to have served him. Back to paul perito for a moment. Coming up on news 4 at 6 00 ill tell you about the emotional call he says he got from Johnny Williams just after an fbi agent and trooper showed up on Johnny Williams doorstep.

We have some clear skies around our region, but look down to the southwest. Some rain thats trying to make its way away. Well talk more about that coming up in just a couple of minutes. You know its a backyard weather day. I want to take a look at whats going on in the backyard. Oh, yeah, baby. We got some water aeshices going on, and we got a lot of people cheering them on. Hello, everybody. We got backyard weather, and thats all coming up in just a couplof this is what a waterfall in hilo looks like before, and this is an after shot after then Tropical Storm iselle made landfall. Today the waters were, well, they looked like that. A record has now been set for the larnlest rainfall total in hawaii in a 24hour period, but, folks in hawaii are still breathing a big sigh of relief with no major damage reported from their storm. Yes, the National Weather service says hawaii isnt out of the woods because theres hurricane julio still a category two storm churning away in the pacific. Jim cantore has the latest on julios path. Storms come and go here. The sunshine returning. Paradise once again found here. The tree damage has been down to the south of town, especially where the center of circulation came to shore early this morning. He did have some tree damage. In some cases it was quite extensive. Sashd customers lost power, and those people are getting back online quickly because the weather is cooperating.
