So too is the suspect. It has left this community right here in culpeper, virginia, in disbelief. It began here inside this culpeper home off gray street, a home in which neighbor Landon Jenkins thought lived a happy couple. Every time i seen them they was out in the yard working together. I dont know. It just kind of blows my mind that it happened up here. Reporter just before 9 00 last night, a domestic dispute started between Willis Walker and his estranged wife. We heard a gunshot. I guess ten minutes later cops pulled up and they blocked everything off. They told us we couldnt leave the driveway. Reporter walker grabbed a shotgun firing at his wife as she ran outside to a neighbors home. Banging on the door screaming for help. The neighbor in turn called 911 immediately. Reporter the neighbors a 70yearold woman and a 74yearold man opened the door and locked it. Once he got into the home, he fired and killed the male occupant, 74yearold male, in the home. Reporter by that point, deputies had already arrived. Surrounded the home. Walker allegedly had beaten his wife and stepped on the deck shotgun in hand telling the officers ive killed two. Reporter walker refused put the gun down. A sergeant on scene fired one shot, killing walker. It is very shocking. Reporter landon didnt know the neighbor walker allegedly killed, but knew the suspect as a kind person. Tonight the sheriff tells me that the woman who initially reported this incident, walkers wife, has been released from the hospital. Shes been treated for nonlife threatening injuries. Police are investigating this at the state level so they can continue to look into this. Such a tragedy there.

The county says todd scriber was a teacher at bethesda chevy chase high school. Jackie bensen is theron reporter were told this came to the attention of the police after a 14yearold girl who was taking a test in scribers classroom after school went to ask him a question and noticed he appeared to be sliding his phone under her skirt.

Its really important to know that students are safe all around the school and around the county. I it is really important to know so all the students are safe. Reporter none of the female victims had any idea that scriber was taking their picture, that they were innocent victims in all this. News4. Back to you. Match set. After big victories last night, Hillary Clinton skremcements he as presumptive nominee. She is now pivoting towards the general election, but Bernie Sanders isnt backing down. Even before last night, Hillary Clinton had been declared the presumptive nominee because with the help of some of those superdelegates she hit the magic number of 2383. Thanks to some big victories in both new jersey and california, take a look at this. Her combined lead is several hundred beyond that required to she leads sanders by millions in the popular vote and the number of contests won. At this point, the only contest left is right here in the district next tuesday. 46 delegates at stake. More than half of them are superdelegates. Earlier, i spoke with chuck todd about california and clintons new approach this time around. I think shes simply acknowledging the historic nature of the moment. I think its perfectly appropriate, but i think youll my guess is youll see her talk about this about as often as barack obama did when he was the nominee in 08. Every so often it would come up. Getting the nomination, winning on election night. I would be surprised if you see this as a continuing theme throughout the campaign. How did she turn a twopoint spread into a doue in california . Well, look, i think there were two things that benefitted her in california. Number one was the diversity of the electorate. Her victory in california is the same as she got in florida, texas, and new york. In the big diverse states, she outperformed him in those key demographic groups. California has one of the largest populations that mail in their ballots. They dont vote at the polls. They get their ballots in the mail and send them back. Hillary clinton clearly banked a lot more votes than Bernie Sanders ever did. To me, its a sign of whats to come for donald trump, if hes not careful. Bernie sanders had a campaign, had an organization. Clintons was better. Right now, donald trump doesnt have an organization. Coming up, were going to get chucks thoughts on a meeting scheduled between president meanwhile donald trump is trying to raise money as he looks ahead to the general election with clinton. The republican will be in richmond, virginia, friday for a v. I. P. Reception and fundraiser there. It comes as trump tries to convince republicans he can stay on message and away from controversy. Last night in a noticeably muted speech, trump said he would make the party proud of him. A Home Invasion and then a rape. It was a crime that shocked a d. C. Community and now its ended with a conviction. Up next, a juror describes what they felt when a key witness took the stand. See that apartment over there thats all boarded up . Theres a jeep inside that apartment. Its still in there. How did that happen . Im pat collins. The story coming up. And call it a medical miracle.

Stand by me its a pretty startling sight for some folks in gaithersburg. A jeep wound up literally going off the road and into this Apartment Living room. This evening more than a dozen people are finding somewhere else to stay. Our pat collins talked with witnesses today. He joins us now live from the scene just off west diamond avenue. Reporter muddy branch road. They say it was raining and windy and a jeep jumped this curb and ended up in an apartment way over there. This jeep got so far into the apartment it looked like it was living room furniture. There was a woman and child inside when it happened. Nobody, nobody, was hurt. They even saved all t the jeep came over the curb, through the brush, over the grass, over this drainage pipe, through this guys charcoal grill, through a brick support column, through the patio doors, and then into the living room of this apartment. Its a miracle no one was seriously hurt. This woman lives in an upstairs apartment. She heard the boom. She saw the smoke. She asked not to be idenfied. I was sleeping and i heard the impact, so i kind of looked out the window to see what was going on. I saw the smoke come out, and i saw a little girl go, mommy. Thats when i called 911. Reporter as for the driver of the jeep, she escaped injury as well. No injuries, of course. She was an adult female, young ad personnel and she was not injured, so was not transported to the hospital. Reporter back at the scene, theyre still working to fix the place up. That could take some time. Police have filed some charges here. Ill have more on that coming up at 6 00. Jim, back to you. You took us that distance. We saw the impact there. Any sense of just how fast that jeep may have been going . Reporter not exactly, but it had to be picking up some speed because look over here. You can see it went down this embankment and it had to have some speed to go through that brick column, that support column, because it just smashed that to smithereens. Thanks so much. Some commuters are participating in an effort to start a new slug line weve been talking about. The line goes from vienna metro in bottom in the evenings.

When deputies got there, they say he opened fire. The deputy is said to be in stable condition at this hour. Sumter is being held without bond. It was a brazen daytime Home Invasion that left a young mother raped and beaten. Today a jury found antoine pitt guilty on all charges. Mark segraves talked to a juror today. He asked the juror about the fact that pitt had been released from jail just days before the assault happened. The system didnt work. Are you kidding me . Why did the judge let him out when thefo gps . Reporter denise is an advisory neighborhood commissioner who followed this case from day one and who knows the victim. Shes happy with the verdict. But shes a rape victim and shes a rape victim like a lot of other women here in washington, d. C. What differentiates my neighbor from a lot of other women, the guy who raped her is going to jail. A lot of women in d. C. Cant say that. Reporter during the trial, the victim described how antoine pitt came into her home, raped her, and beat her so badly she had to be hospitalized. This juror, who didnt want to be identified, described the jurys reaction when pitt took the stand and claimed that his cousin committed the rape. Everybody was caught off guard. Personally, i found him extremely uncredible. I think, not speaking for others on the jury, but that was the general consensus after working through the facts. Reporter pitt criminal history and in the weeks before the rape had been in violation of his parole and cut off his courtordered ankle monitor. The court was not notified he had gone off the grid for two weeks. It took another week for an arrest warrant to be issued. A d. C. Superior judge then released him. Days later, he committed the rape. Krepp says the judge who rele e released him also needs to be held accountable. He has a violent background. He has a broken gps monitor, and you think that hes safe for my community . Dear, judge, come and live in my community, please. Reporter now that judge, judge william, who originally pitt has not commented on his decision. The two agencies involved with the parole violation have told the washi followed their protocols. He has another trial for a second Home Invasion that same week. Coming up at 6 00, youll hear from one of the jurors about all of the drama in the jury room, including one juror who said she didnt think the victim was raped at all. She ultimately left the jury.
