that they all pointed a finger at this man. he is also 56 years old. he was well-known to miss jones. he lived in the home briefly. did yard work for her. we had a chance to talk to amanda jones' daughter this afternoon and she reacted to the news that the man was in custody. >> i just want them to know and i'm sure that they nethey took a beautiful person from this world, from their family. from her 3-year-old granddaughter, that was her world, too. it was her granny. brad: that was her granny. amanda jones known in the neighborhood as a babysitter that provided in-home day care for many people. when we come back at 5:00, we have much more on the story including more reaction. emotional reaction from the victim's daughter. brad bell, abc7 news.

>> unfortunately, we're out of time. the time necessary to mount a winning campaign for the nomination. alison: well, vice president joe biden says he will not make a third run for the white house. jonathan: biden will remain vocal in trying to influence the democratic party. the senior political reporter scott thuman has more on the decision. the timing of the announcement caught a lot of folks off-guard. they knew he would announce this week. it's interesting with if benghazi hearings going on with hillary clinton. scott: you are right. the last couple of days he had been signaling perhaps a run. he had been talking a lot about the amount of one-on-one time he was spending with president obama to clarify his role in the decision-making process in the race for usama bin laden. so there were a lot of cards being played that led people on the hill he was going to announce a candidacy. but instead he sought donors and delegates had been lining

up behind the people who would have been his competition. namely hillary clinton and bernie sanders. he is an emotional politician. he always has been. he spoke about that today. mentioning, of course, the loss of his son and how that played a part in his decision. vice president biden: i couldn't do this if the family wasn't ready. the good news is the family has reached that point. but as i said many times my family has suffered a loss. and i hope there would come a time and i said this to many other families that sooner rather than later when you think of your loved ones, it brings a smile to your lips before it brings a tear to your eyes. well, that is where the bidens are today. thank god. beau, beau is our inspiration. scott: so vice president biden choosing to essentially close out a career it sounds like as

the vice president. not taking what would have been a third run at the white house. and really all of this, jonathan and alison, serving as a virtual gift for hillary clinton, whose camp secretly had to be hoping this would be the decision. they didn't want him in the race. they knew he was getting a lot of numbers in polling that would draw away from her numbers and might make the campaign more difficult for her and bernie sanders as well. alison: thank you for that. staying with that idea now, this decision as he said from vice president biden does make it a clearer picture for the democratic party now. hillary clinton is the front-runner. followed closely by senator bernie sanders. former maryland governor martin o'malley and former senator lincoln chafee still in the running but far behind in the polls. jonathan: a d.c. council committee met today to discuss and hear your concerns over police body cameras. the city is still trying to figure out how to integrate the cameras in patrol and how the video will be used.

officers with the cameras. >> the police officers are being lambasted as performing bad acts. we want the police to have about -- we want the public to have access to what we do so we can counter that. the vast majority of the officers do the right thing. stephen: they namedded a number of questions about the body cameras. going forward before the counsel take action on this we expect there will be a lot of give-and-take, revision to the mayor's proposal. we have to stay tuned to see how it progresses over the next few months. reporting live, stephen tschida, abc7 news. alison: thank you very much. someone shot 150 birds near pikeville. maryland police say it happened late last month so they are circulating a flyer here. they were found outside a building in pikesville. they describe it as unusual because it must have taken quite a long time to target

encouraged charles severance to seek mental health counseling. he was shown this surveillance video of the alexandria target in december of 2003, taken before the murder of nancy dunning saying the man in the video was not charles severance. that contradicts the claims argued by the prosecution last week. the first defense witness was darren strange, psychologist and expert on memory. while not specifically discussing the shooting at the home of ruthanne lodato in questioning, defense cast a lot of dut on the testimony from the family care-taker from earlier in the trial. franco who was also shot in the incident. she identified severance as the shooter. >> people recall the detail of the color of the gun, what it looks like, not necessarily about anything else. because their attention was on the thing that could hurt them. jeff: the defense really trying to poke a lot of holes in the claims that the prosecution made by displaying

their case. that taking place this morning in regard to the writings of charles severance. we will have more on that at 5:00. as well as some new surveillance video that was just released in the last hour. more on that and an update on what is going on inside the courthouse coming up at 5:00. live in fairfax. jeff goldberg, abc7 news. alison: on the hill today, representative paul ryan said he is willing to take the speaker's ga vel from john boehner as the next speaker of the house if his conditions are met. the republicans will vote on the nominee a week from today. the house will vote the following day. ryan wants to make sure he has the backing of his party and will not face challenges if he becomes the speaker. jonathan: virginia county now has voted to ban the confederate flag in schools. last month, two dozen christianburg high school students were suspended for wearing clothing displaying the flag. the mont gom i can county school board voted unanimously to come one a clothing policy to been a all confederate flag
