wondering how that went. sam: well, people came in droves to talk about this. a lot of these were emotional. the increasing speeding fines for speeding in the city. the proposal to increase fines from $350 to $1,000 for vehicles going 25 miles or higher over the speed limit did not sit well with the transportation chairman this morning who repeatedly asked the director of ddot what data he had to show that such high fines would result in bicyclists and pedestrians suffering fewer death and injuries. he had no direct answer but said overall traffic fatalities in d.c. have plummeted. but -- >> but with regard to bicyclists and pedestrians we are not seeing reductions. >> you don't think the case has been made. you have to make it, i believe, for some of these

really high fines. >> i think what happened is that they listen to the special interest groups and they eliminated motorists from the process. this is their wish list. sam: he admitted at the end that probably the fines are not going to be increasing that much because of the reaction of the public. but he is pushing for some increase in fines. and it seems that that is going to happen. we'll have more on the story coming up on "abc7 news at 5:00". we will hear from some of the people who complain that this is a hardship. some of the fines that the city has takes no regard for poor people. reporting live from northwest washington, sam ford, abc7 news. alison: thank you very much. we move on to weather, it's certainly not the sunniest end to the week but it is a work day. jonathan: couldn't figure out what was going to happen. is it foggy? drizzle? what will happen for the weekend? chief meteorologist doug hill in the storm watch weather

through the nighttime hours the rain will move out of the area. things calm down through the morning. clouds and drizzle. watch what happens in the afternoon. a lot more rain. some will be heavy. we look ahead to the redskins-packers day sunday and we'll throw in the next seven days at no charge. jonathan: thank you. we are tracking a developing story out of philadelphia. police officer shot in his cruiser at point-blank range. this guy opened up shooting at least 13 times. the map shooting him said he was doing it in the name of isis. marci gonzalez report police departments all across the country are stepping up security. marci: chilling images of what police call an ambush on an officer by a suspect they say pledged loyalty to isis. >> stand by. we have an officer shot. marci: the photo shows the suspect firing at least 11 times into a pa thol car. >> my god. the way he le has his arm

inside a vehicle he knew what he was doing. he was trying to assassinate the police officer. marci: the officer jesse hartmoth. >> i'm bleeding heavily. >> shot three times in the arm. >> i'm absolutely amazed that the officer is here with us today. >> despite his serious injuries he managed to get out of the car, follow the suspect and fire back. other officers soon arrested the injured suspect identified as 30-year-old edward archer. police saying the suspect gave an alarming confession. >> he stated that he pledges his allegiance to islamic states and follows allah. that's the reason he was called upon to do this. >> according to him he believes that the police defend laws laws that are contry to the teaching of the quran. marci: investigators trying to determine how he was radicalized as the officer recovers in the hospital. >> he is waking up.

he is a tough guy. i love him. i'm very proud of him. >> the .9-millimeter gun used to shoot the officer was a police firearm stolen in 2013. investigators are trying to figure out how the suspect got ahold of this. marci gonzalez, abc7 news. jonathan: a few hours after what happened in philadelphia, an officer in boston was shot in the leg. the plain-clothes officer working with the drug control unit. he pulled over a known drug dealer and that guy got out and opened fire and ran off. the shooter was tackled by other officers and arrested. the officer shot in the leg is expected to be fine. alison: these shootings come as president obama pushes for more gun control, of course. after last night's town hall at mason university in fairfax, he held a conference call this afternoon with grassroot supports of his plan. he announced an executive order to tighten gun laws this past monday. today marks five years since the arizona shooting that killed six people and injured 13 others including former

congresswoman gabrielle giffords. the city of tuson observed the day by ringing bells at the scene and at the medical center where most of the people were treated. jonathan: so you probably don't want to look at your 401k right now. not a good idea. rough week on wall street. not without one last slide. i ended bad. after hovering even all day long the dow finished out 167 points down. the first week of this year now is the worst week for the markets since 2011. most of the selloffs fueled by china and its economy. alison: you won't have to worry about investing. you win the massive powerball jackpot. >> i did figuring and i might have found the luckiest numbers for the jackpot. we are putting it to the test next. >> playoff time can bring a lot of pressure. you would never know it at redskins park today. wait until you hear some of the fun, interesting conversation that i had with

some of the players. jonathan: plus, a plot against the white house but not against the commander-in-chief. find out what the man at the center of it wanted to ste

alison: we're back now with a "7 on your side" consumer alert. taxpayers will be waiting longer to get the tax refunds this year thanks to new efforts from the i.r.s. and state tax authorities to catch tax fraud. a spike in suspicion returns in the last filing system to blame. i.r.s. says it expects to pay out 90% of tax refunds within the typical three-week time frame. jonathan: of course, waiting if for the refund won't mean a thing if you win the next drawing of the power ball. alison: that is a drop in the bucket. historic jackpot and rose today. it's $800 million. amy is live where they are dreaming like the rest of us. right? >> what fun is an $800 million jackpot if you're not playing, right? i think i found the lucky ticket. take a look at the numbers. take that down. we are going to win big.

we'll get in line and take a look. look at this line, this is study like this throughout the day -- steady like this throughout the day. from what we have seen people have been lining up and cranking out the powerball tickets throughout the day. i am going to hop in line, this will be the lucky ticket. i'm telling you. what i did, i went through the last powerball winner on november 4. so i went through and i found the most common numbers since that november 4 date. this is geared to this specific $800 million jackpot. 16, 47, 55, 32, 14 and the powerball is 22. it was a four-way try, i took 22 because it's the first number. it's been steady throughout the day. but wait until you hear the strategy people have for picking their numbers. we will tell you more about that coming up at 5:00. for now, we are live, abc7 news. alison: amy, okay. speaking of strategies the

experts say there is nothing you can do to up your odds at winning the big odds. they have a suggestion. let the computer pick your numbers for you. relying on things like birthdays and anniversaries might hurt your chance because special dates won't be higher than 31. and the lotly numbers go up to 69. so keep that in mind. jonathan: what about going in with friends or coworkers to up the chances? the jackpot is big enough to spread around the wealth. the more tickets the better your chances. what if you win? t.j. holmes has cautionary tale for you. >> the lottery office pool seems like good, clean fun, until you win and the fighting begins. this group of california coworkers barely had time to celebrating the $315 million prize. when they were sued by four coworkers who claimed they had oral agreements to be part of the office pool.

this construction worker in new jersey was in charge to buy tickets but he claimed the jackpot as his alone. he was sued and lost. confusion, miscommunication, greed can come into play when hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake. jonathan: this isn't my first rodeo. you can prevent situations by first making a list of everybody's name in the pool. this is the folks here. you make a list of the people's names. then you take all the tickets you buy and then you take copies of every ticket put them together, staple it and give everyone a copy. they know their name is on it and know what the tickets are. alison: if you are doing all this extra work are you expecting to get a bigger cut of the money? jonathan: when we win this the administrative fee for me is a mere $20 million from everybody. alison: you forgot to mention that.

jonathan: you hear about the frivolous lawsuits. you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. you would love to win but it's full disclosure. alison: you're a pro. you better win. jonathan: i'm hoping. alison: say we do win. jonathan: let's say that. alison: say you win out right, not in a pool. so then where would you land on the list of the richest people in the world? would you like to know that? you would surpass katy perry. all of the one direction band members. jonathan: good. alison: howard stern. even taylor swift. of the world's highest paid celebrities. just like that, you surpassed all the people. jonathan: cool. so you dream big, aim high. share it with us at wjla.com, our facebook page. people weighing in on what they'd do if they win the jackpot. we invite you to join. alison: get a check of the traffic situation. jamie sullivan standing by with the details. you wouldn't leave us if you won, would you? jamie: no comment.

alison: security is tight at the white house. of course. you expect that. the secret service tasked with protecting the first family. while you might think it's just the president, the first lady and their daughters, that's not all. kevin lewis live near the executive mansion to explain a new plot that was foiled. kevin? kevin: hi, allison. the spot involved kidnapping at least once of the fist family pet dogs. bo and sunny. today, the alleged mastermind, 49-year-old scott stockard of

north dakota was in d.c. superior court facing criminal charges. he had checked in a hotel room near the d.c. convention center and the secret services agents arrested him there. in a sitdown interview, he claims he drove 1,600 to washington to announce his candidacy for president and lobby for a more cost effective healthcare plan. they found his dodge ram pickup truck in a surface lot near the hampton inn. inside they recovered a .12-gauge pump shotgun, bolt action rifle, machete, billy club and 350 rounds of ammunition. he was not a registered goal owner in any jurisdiction and they -- gun owner in any jurisdiction.

residents were baffled to hear about the plot. >> was he arrested for stupidity? what was he going to do with the dogs? >> it's not like they take the dogs off the white house grounds. i don't know how he thought he could accomplish the goal of his. strange. kevin: what the court documents do not indicate is how stockard planned to kidnap bo or sunny. if the allegations are true. all new at 50:00, the celebrity parents the 49-year-old claims to have. i'm kevin lewis, abc7 news. jonathan: thanks. coming up at 4:00 -- jonathan: a scare in the sky. what happened when a woman went berserk. >> you have burgundy and gold. you like that. >> you have burgundy and gold. you like that. i'm cheryl connor with the
