took over social media. jonathan: mostly because that really was the only way you could see what was happening because the cameras and the lights were turned off. alison: we have team coverage for you today. we want you to participate. the abc7 instapoll at the bottom of the screen. do you believe the house democrats were successful or was it politics as usual? log on to wjla.com/votenow and participate. we will keep the poll going all everything. michelle: now get to the live team coverage. leon harris at the "live desk" and kimberly suiters outside the capitol. we begin with leon. you have been monitoring what is going on inside the capitol. the house democrats applauding themselves as the sit-in ended. leon: that is right. no bill, no break was the slogan for democrats through all of this. after 25-1/2 hours the house democrats ended the sit-in, in the chambers floor. even though there were no indications that the house republicans are going to grant any demands of a vote on gun

declaring victory. the protests started at 11:30 a.m. yesterday. continued even after the house adjourned at 3:15 this morning. then just before 1:00 this afternoon it was all over. democratic representative john lewis, civil rights icon, pledged to continue to push for more gun reforms including bills that would strengthen background checks and ban firearm sales for people on the government no-fly list. speaker paul ryan calls the whole thing a stunt. >> we are not going to allow stunts like this to stop us from carrying out the people's business. why do i call it a stunt? well, because it is one. let's just be honest here. >> it's not a struggle. lasts for one day or one week or one month or one year. it is a struggle. but we're going to win this. [applause] leon: the democrats are

to continue the struggle when they return from the july 4th recess. we will be following it and we will see what happens going forward. back to you. alison: thank you so much. continuing with the story now. we want you to check out the moment house democrats including congressman john lewis who you heard from there, they walked out. they walked out of the capitol to loud cheers. michelle: absolutely. supports rallying throughout the night greeted by the representatives. kimberly suiters continues our live team coverage now from outside the capitol. quite a unique moment today. kimberly: right. you get the scene. they sat down and stand up and walked down these steps right there. you see the door at the top of the stairs. when the democrats emerged from the doors there was a crowd of 250 strong down on the plaza cheering for them. let's listen in to that moment. >> do your job! do

kimberly: you hear them cheering "do your job." they are directing that to members of the republican congress who are opposed to the gun control legislation that the protesters here are asking for. this of course all stemming from congressman john lewis' staging the sit-in on the house floor, which is a violation of house rules. but congressman grayson from orlando told us this is not just a moment in time. this is a movement that has momentum. congressman: i realize that the shooter in orlando was someone motivated, according to his own words by islamic jihadist fundamentallism. i get that. we will never tell what is exactly in people's heads and hearts. we just tell what is in people's hands. what we can't allow people to do is hold in their hands a weapon of mass destruction that could kill almost 50 people in a matter

>> ♪ we shall overcome ♪ some day kimberly: that is the anthem of civil rights movement from tend ago. -- from decades ago. democrats are saying they will bring the gun control issue back to the forefront on july 5 after the recess. coming up at 5:00, you will hear from a survivor of the virginia tech shooting who is supporting gun control as well. reporting live here on capitol hill, kimberly suiters, abc7 news. jonathan: thanks. this is the "new york daily news" taking direct aim at house republicans and speaker paul ryan. you can see the headline. "n.r.a.'s little lap dog." that was the front page featuring the picture next to wayne lapierre, the c.e.o. of the n.r.a. it reads "n.r.a.'s lil' lapdog." you might have found out about the sit-in via a text message. wew

know. we monitor the newsroom all the time. even when you are away from the tv we'll let you know what is happening. go to wjla.com/text. michelle: the chaos in the house chamber last night everyone was called back to work. early this morning a $1.1 billion measure to combat zika passed. democrats weren't happy about the rules being eased when it comes to some pesticide permit requirements. ones that would be used to kill mosquitoes. there are provisions that block planned parenthood from delivering birth control services under a $95 million grant program. jonathan: the other big story today comes to us from baltimore where officer caesar goodson found not guilty on all counts against him. alison: he is the one who drove the van where freddie gray suffered the injuries that proved deadly. brad bell is in baltimore with the verdict. this was the case that the prosecutors thought was their best shot. brad: yeah, that is absolutely right. this officer was facing the most

murder. second-degree depraved heart murder. not a surprise for many who were watching the trial with the verdict today. the good news is it is quiet around town tonight. but earlier today, it was quite a scene outside the courthouse. outside if court a crowd gathers. a sheriff with a megaphone asks for calm when the verdict is read. >> i would like to ask you if you could please -- brad: inside, judge barry williams does just that. reading his verdict. not guilty on all counts. officer caesar goodson, the driver of the police van in which freddie gray suffered his fatal injuries just more than a year ago is not guilty of murder, manslaughter, reckless endangerment or misconduct in office. word reaches the crowd. there is anger. >> there will be many more freddie grays. >> i have a human being who is alive and interacted with six other human beings and ended up dead.

accountable. >> we won't stop! brad: for many it is no surprise. many think the state attorney overcharged failing to convince judge williams beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime occurred that caused the death of freddie gray. >> he didn't just see evidence of a rough ride. he didn't see evidence of depraved heart. it was a stretch from the beginning. brad: when we come back at 5:00, you heard from the baltimore president of the naacp. she is also disappointed in the verdict but says the death of freddie gray is already prompting change in the police department and says the community must respect the system is our system of justice. in baltimore, brad bell, abc7 news. jonathan: let's review for a second. the prosecutors are 0-3 in this case. does it now change the strategy moving toward in the remaining trials? are th

trial? are they going to sit back review and maybe reconsider? brad: a lot of people are asking that question tonight. there is a gag order in effect for all of the cases so they are not telling us anything. certainly the baltimore chapter of the police officers union, the f.o.p. are demanding that the other charges be dropped. this is the same judge who handled all three cases. the first case with the jury ended in a hung jury. now the judge ruled not guilty in two additional cases. he has heard all of the facts. essentially today's verdict stands as a rebuke to the state's attorney. this legal exper highly respected, judge barry williams just says there is no case. there is no evidence of criminal conduct. a lot of people wondering now if the other cases will, in fact, be dropped. jonathan: brad bell in baltimore. thank you. to see all of our reporting done throughout the freddie gray case, you can head to the website. find it there at wjla.com. then just search "freddie gray." more than a

coverage is right there for you. michelle: the supreme court out with a handful of opinions today. one of the biggest dealing with affirm tiff action -- affirmative action. the divided court upheld the university of texas admissions program that takes account race. they consider race among many factors when admitting incoming freshmen. texas guarantees admission to students who graduate in the top 10% of the texas high school class. one of the other key rulings came on immigration. alison: they dealt a key blow to obama's executive action on immigration. jonathan: lower court ruling saying the president doesn't have the authority to shield up to 4 million immigrants from deportation. it was upheld to 4-4 decision that doesn't hold precedent. jeff goldberg has reaction to this. jeff: this historic 4-4 ruling from the high court being delivered with only a nine-word written statement that reads -- "the judgment is affirmed by an equally divided court." this decision co

enormous disappointment for the millions of undocumented immigrants who would have benefited had the decision gone another way. those opposing the ruling making their voices heard all morning today at the supreme court. the case brought by the attorney general of texas, a republican, who represented 26 states opposing president obama executive action to allow estimated 5 million undocumented immigrants who are parents of legal permanent residents to be spared from deportation and gain work permits known as the dapa program. the lower appeals court struck down the president's plan in the 4-4 ruling upholds the appeal. meaning, the executive order cannot go forward. many of those impacted say they will continue the fight by voting in november by the candidate who supports the president's plan. hillary clinton. >> they have the power to decide who is the next judge on the supreme court. we continue. we continue. >> we will have to decide whether we are a people who

children from their parents' arms or whether we value families. >> texas attorney general paxton issuing a statement applauding the 4-4 ruling saying, "this decision keeps in place what we maintained from the start. one person, even the president cannot unilaterally change the law." speaker of the house paul ryan and the fellow republicans expressing report for today's decision. now coming up at 5:00, how one democratic member of the house of representatives essentially issued a threat to republicans after this ruling. at the supreme court, jeff goldberg, abc7 news. >> once i got to the accident -- michelle: this is amazing. alison: coming up at 4:00, a texan went in for surgery and came out with a british accent. you will hear the before and after. there is a condition she may have. >> do not move.

what a man said on a flight that forced two f-16's to scramble and escort this plane to the ground. >> i didn't like him. michelle: like father, like son. a young patient gets a big lift from his dad.

jonathan: the big scare inside a german movie theater. a gunman walks in and is quickly taken down. this is the scene south of frankfurt in vern -- veirnheim. michelle: developing overseas the brixtek vote. in or out? we will learn if they exit the european union. it could send markets into a tail spin. a record 46.5 million have registered to vote. alison: this is an unbelievable story. "7 on your side" health alert. can you believe this? this is called foreign accent syndrome. there is no known cure. this is what happened. a texas woman snapped out of surgery and lost her southern drawl and instead picked

the doctors are as confused as you will be. >> you guys befriended us. we love you. >> i have never been outside the country except for a trip to mexico. jonathan: what happened there? alison: the doctors are dumb founded. some have no idea what is going on. >> it's just such a rare condition even neurologists that i speak to don't believe this is the real condition. alison: there have only been about 100 cases documented of this. all of the testing on lisa came back with nothing raising any red flags. jonathan: are you sure she wasn't hypnotized or something, put under that way? michelle: the accent is a huge part of your identity so it feels like a different person. alison: you wonder if she is using phrases or terms differently.

jonathan: especially in texas. we have an update in alexandria where the crews are still working to repair a water main break. it has been a mess. the break began last night. they thought originally two value evers needed to get fixed -- value evers that needed to be fixed. two more needs to be repaired. the water service should return to the nearby complexes soon. jamie sullivan is keeping an eye on all that is happening out there. jamie: ontario road northwest is blocked off between telerama and florida avenue. columbia road is a good alternate. if you

work toward alexandria we are okay past the pentagon. it's closer to seminary road where we have the volume building in. so an update like you said, the stretch that is closed in alexandria with the water main repairs is on edsall road. they say the work is almost complete but then they need to do repairs to the road. it's not until after the rush that we reopen. traveling on the beltway, dominion in the teens. the big picture is slowing but no interstate crashes. back to you. jonathan: all right. thank you very much. look at this. either those are transformers blowing up or lightning. it's not good. system that brought us heavy rain and strong winds the storm that swept through the midwest overnight. we know four tornadoes touched down in northern illinois alone. one twister took out a gas station. knocked a tractor-trailer over. destroyed several mobile homes leaving two people injured. in neighboring indiana winds up t

snapped trees leaving 30,000 people without power. you add to that, they were dealing with the triple digit heat. so it's a mess there. sticky. alison: meanwhile a home in brooklyn now off of its foundation. one of the thousands of houses damaged in super storm sandy. look at that. it was being worked on. it collapsed. no construction crews were on site at the time. the family that owns the place has been waiting for years to try to move back in. michelle: what a heartbreak to see that after everything they have been through. alison: long ordeal. weather wise, it was calmer today. steve: it was. we had a frontal system now to the south of us. the warning i talked about earlier that was supposed to cancel at 4:45. they canceled it. well ahead of schedule. not complaining about that. if you have any outdoor plans this everything take a risk and go

because of arson. most people were disappointed to learn that officer caesar goodson will not be going to prison. we have not seen violence connected with the verdict. a few small police protest and visible presence in the hot spot areas like the circuit courthouse downtown. and right here in penn north. >> they are never held accountable for what they do to the community. >> the police have zero respect for baltimore citizens. especially people of color. i know for a fact that the general atmosphere in baltimore city has no respect for the police. >> the officers knew they had been disgraced a little bit. they knew they would walk away unscathed.

us. kevin: officer goodson is the third of six baltimore officers to be tried in connection with freddie gray's death. the state attorney's office is batting zero but there is peace in baltimore this afternoon. live in baltimore, i'm kevin lewis, abc7 news. alison: thank you. you might have found out about the verdict via text message. we want you to be the first to know of breaking news even if you're away from the tv. log on to wjla.com/text and enter your phone number right there. now we get back to the weather. a little bit unsettled earlier today. where does it stand now? steve: the worst of it is out of the way now. we had more with the heavy rain and the gusty winds well south of us. look at the satellite and the radar. it's not to too bad. scattered showers. well south and west, harrisenburg to south of richmond we have stronger storms. look at the lightning strikes reported with the storm m

sam: it was a display. the mayor called it "confluence of energy." that was her term. the city planned a news conference on guns before the sit-in took place because the city considered its gun laws under attack. mayor bowser, congresswoman norton and police chief lanier stood before tables of assault-style weapons confiscated in d.c. they called for protecting the gun laws in the city. the mayor said she scheduled the news conference after the republican lawmakers in congress introduced several bills this week to scuddle d.c.'s gun laws. bills would allow for open or concealed carry and prohibit d.c. declaring gun-free zones around schools and public buildings. the republican leadership itself nixed the gun bills but then democrats later staged a sit-in over gun issues in the house of representatives. the mayor talked about the timing.

>> we didn't call this when we knew there was a sit-in. but you can see the confluence of energy around good-meaning americans. not just the democrats. i'm convinced there are republicans all across the country who wants their representative to do the right thing. we are calling on them to do that. sam: the police chief complained about her alwaysers having to face people with the weapons. to have to take them away. she said this week alone they have confiscated three a.k.-47 rifles including that of a 17-year-old who allegedly threatened his girlfriend saying he was going to kill her family and then go shoot up her school. well, police raided his home. they confiscated an a.k.-47 and 180 rounds of ammunition. reporting live from d.c. police headquarters, i'm sam ford, abc7 news. michelle: thank you. federal civil rights complaint filed gypping the public school system. it's -- filed aga

because of the way they are selected for certain programs. richard reeve is where the families sounded off a couple hours ago. what do they say? richard: a copy of the complaint here. you can see it here. it involves violations the folks say of the civil rights act which involve discrimination in the workplace or in schools. now they say that the kids of color, kids who come from poor families are under disadvantaged because of this. take a look at the pictures. you can see how diverse montgomery county schools are. 145,000 students here. now only seven elementary schools offer what they call a language immersion program. each school has only 50 slots. now here is the problem according to the complaint. they have a district wide enrollment that is 31% white. the immersion program is 47% white. now, there is a lottery. but siblings of students get automatic admission. that means the complaints that there are fewer sea

they also say there is a lack of meaningful outreach. parents that want the kids in the programs can't get to the meeting because they are held in the day and the application process is overly complicated. there are a lot of roadblocks here and not everyone is getting a fair shot. >> the fact you could have some magnet program in the country and school system where 50% of the kids are -- 50% are white, less than that are white and latino. on its face it's discriminatory. richard: you heard right. 5% students of color in some of those classes. now the district says it cannot comment specifically on this complaint. it says it has been reviewing this situation. coming up at 45:00, we will speak -- at 5:00, we will speak to a high school senior about what she thinks about all of this. in rockville, richard reeve,
