announcer: now "abc7 news at 4:00". on your side. alison: the second deadly police shooting in our country in a matter of days. michelle: outrage and heartbreak in minnesota this afternoon. >> i have not been able to sleep. i have not been able to eat. i have not been able to work. i have not been able to do anything besides hold my daughter. jonathan: a traffic stop for a broken taillight is what started the whole string of evidence vents that led to cast -- string of events that led to philando castile's death. the aftermath witnessed by his girlfriend who watched the whole thing play out. michelle: her 4-year-old in the backseat. a stunning turn of events a day after police were caught on camera shooting a man at point-blank range while he was on the ground with the officers on top of him. that was in louisiana. we have now witnessed two black men killed on video at the hands of police.

once again in the spotlight nationwide. elizabeth hur has more. elizabeth: tension, boiling over. >> this is black grief. elizabeth: the minnesota governor getting an earful from an angry and frustrated community. >> our babies are dying. i am tired. >> enough is enough! elizabeth: emotions running high following the fatal police shooting of 32-year-old philando castile during a traffic stop outside saint paul. his girlfriend in the car with her young daughter. >> you told him to get his i.d., sir, his driver's license. elizabeth: live streaming the aftermath on facebook. >> nothing in his body language said, "kill me, i want to be dead." elizabeth: the governor turning to the justice department for an independent review a day after the same request was granted for this police shooting in louisiana. police in baton rouge responding to a disturbance call about a ma

37-year-old alton sterling. >> i will not rest, or not allow him to be swept in the dirt. elizabeth: back in minnesota, the governor apologizing to castile's girlfriend doing little to calm the crowd. >> i'm sorry. i can't tell you how sorry i am for the terrible tragedy on your family. >> i don't want you to be sorry. i want y'all to be more careful. elizabeth: according to the f.b.i. director he has been briefed on the situation in minnesota and says it is likely federal investigators will get involved. in new york, i'm elizabeth hur for abc7 news. alison: in both minnesota and louisiana, black men were killed by white police officers. again the issues of race relations and community policing are at the forefront. it has sparked that emotional response really across the country. our d.c. bureau chief sam ford spoke with protesters and retired police today.

sam? sam: yes, alison, well, we are in anacostia in southeast washington near the big chair. one of a number of areas of the city where we talk to people today, sampled opinions. the reaction was generally one of outrage. one retired d.c. police officer said wait for the investigation. the scenes from minnesota and louisiana sparked outrage on the streets of d.c. >> i'm a law student right now. there is no law out here. it's lawlessness. we need to get law back. real law. there are too many people getting killed. sam: he was one of the protesters at dupont circle with signs and called what happened murder. a black lives matter activist. >> there is an endemic and systemic problem for police murder. sam: a different view from a retired d.c. police officer who said it's often a question of knowing how to deal with police officers. >> no back talk. no trying to explain myself.

what do you want me to do? end of story. that's all. that's what they need to do. if you are carrying a concealed weapon or open carry, comply with the officer's directive. that's it. sam: even so, many say this is a pattern of behavior who show no end, including some who watch today's protest. >> we need a march, we need change. we have got to do something about this. this is possibly the most significant problem plaguing our country in my mind right now. sam: we are told a number of protests are planned for around the city. we will be back here at 5:00 to talk to some of the people in this neighborhood, including a group of domino players who had strong opinions feeling that they are under attack, even though they weren't involved. reporting live from southeast washington, i'm sam ford, abc7 news. michelle: thank you, sam. all while this is going on, the fourth trial in the freddie gray case began.

one of the bicycle officers involved in the arrest of gray. maryland bureau chief brad bell is in baltimore for us. brad, rice is highest ranking cop in all of this. what is the latest from baltimore? brad: yeah. prosecutors say that is relevant. the day began with one surprise. prosecutors starting by telling the drudge they were dropping one charge of misconduct and then they forged ahead with their case. prosecutors say as the highest ranking officer on scene, lieutenant brian rice, who doesn't appear in this video clip made the decisions which led to the death of freddie gray. his crime not making sure gray was seat belted in that prisoner van. his defense attorneys firing back that rice had nine seconds of contact with gray. in that time, decided not to belt him because it was too dangerous because gray was, "battling and belligerent." in court today, a different officer and defense team. but the same prose

police trials. none of which has led to a conviction. judge barry williams, in acquitting two of the cops, blasting the state's case for lack of evidence. law professor wonders now if the result in this case will be the same. >> you know, you are left with a 25-year-old man who died in police custody. and that still remains the unanswered question. what killed freddie gray? who's responsible for it? until those questions are answered, a large part of this community will not be satisfied with the ultimate outcome of verdict in this case. brad: now when we come back at 5:00, you will hear from the head of the baltimore chapter of the naacp. she is talking about what happened in minnesota and louisiana. and how it applies to what is going on here. in baltimore, brad bell, abc7 news. michelle: brad, thank you. stay with abc7 for breaking news updates on this case and all breang

enter your phone number and pick which alerts you want to receive. jonathan: well, three straight days of 90 degrees or above. that makes it a heatwave. it makes it official. it is going to continue. we have team coverage of what is happening outside. it's warm. chief meteorologist doug hill is on the forecast. steve rudin is at national harbor. ryan hughes is at a crowded folk life festival. let's start it off with doug hill and the sweltering forecast. this is no messing around. doug: this is the real stuff. we get it periodically in the summer. we're in the middle of it. good news, there are signs by the weekend it will change. but for the moment this is what it feels like. 101 in fredericksburg. the hottest feels like temperature out there. feels like 99 right now in the nation's capitol. 96 in frederick and leesburg as well. forecast for swimming pool or hanging out in the backyard tonight, hot and humid. stray storm south and west of town. temperatures falling in the middle 80's. it's very muggy. watching the showers and

the better chances to the south and west. tomorrow a different story. tomorrow, increasing chances of showers and storms. tonight is muggy. patchy fog. 72 to 79 degrees. we are looking at the weather bug camera at national harbor. it's sunny down there. it is hot. it is humid. steve rudin is there. steve, what is happening at the lar boar on this hot -- at the harbor on this hot and humid thursday? steve: doug, a lot of folks are enjoying themselves trying to stay cool on the water with the new stormwatch7. great vehicles. a lot of tools. wind gauge, we can check how much rain we have, cameras, the works. stay tuned for this. we'll keep an eye on things with this vehicle in the coming months. behind me capital wheel is taking a break. but tomorrow we have another hot day ahead. we are looking at temperatures tomorrow around 95 degrees. that is only part of the story. heat index values

104. we are also going to throw in the chance of showers and thunderstorms later in the day and into the evening hours. we are under a slight risk for strong storms as we move into the afternoon hours tomorrow. doug hill will have more on that coming up in a few minutes. let's head back inside where it's cooler. i bet 68 degrees at the anchor desk. alison: it is. jonathan: you can hang meat in here, steve. thanks. alison: hurry back. we will see you later. stay connected with abc7 even if you are on the go. we have weather updates on all the platforms and a list of cooling centers that are available. that is all online at wjla.com. jonathan: coming up for us, where justin bieber was spotted in our area. alison: and a shenandoah shutdown because of bears. the places you can't go coming up. >> did hillary clinton break the law in connection with the use of the e-mail server in my judgment is she did not. michelle: komen questioned for hours on the hill -- and comey questioned f

the three take-aways from today's hearing. alison: can you get what memorial and d.c., the body builders are trying to recreate? we'll have their answer coming up.

jonathan: the minnesota governor right now is talking to reporters about the shooting that took place there. police shot and killed motorist after pulling him over for a broken taillight. let's listen in. governor edwards: nobody should be shot and killed seated in their car without a very, very different kind of response. so i'm heartbroken for minnesota. because, you know, i have heard in the last few hours from distinguished african-american men and women who recounted to me how they have been pulled over, singled out and treated differently because of their race. would this have happened if the passenger, the driver or the passenger were white? i don't think it would have. i'm forced to confront and all of us are forced to confront

it is incumbent on all of us to see that it doesn't continue to happen. i have met with the -- i talk with the white house chief of staff and i just talked to valerie jarrett who called to express the president's personal concern and see what they can do to help. i talked to the assistant attorney general, u.s. attorney general. talk about their involvement. their role is not to be the primary of the investigation. that will reside with the b.c.a. but they will be monitoring and providing whatever assistance is desired, necessary. the

following through with the greatest sense of time urgency to pursue this and have a thorough investigation. turn it over to the ramsey county attorney who will make his decisions accordingly. i have talked with the senator franken, and representative ellison, five or six of us had a conference call a short while ago before drafting a letter that we'll sign jointly and it will go to the u.s. attorney general asking for this investigation or participation on behalf of the department of justice in this matter. i can't say how seriously i take this. i can't say how shocked i am and how deeply, deeply offended that this would occur

in minnesota to somebody who got pulled over for a taillight being out of order. and how totally unacceptable it is. by all standards and values that i hold dear. and i treasure about the state. this is such a terrible incident that could occur and did occur. a life is irrevocably taken away. people gathered outside the governor's residence today, they said they wanted justice. i will vow they will receive justice. justice whether be served. justice -- justice will be served. justice must be served if we have a chance to repair the terrible damage that has been done. the relationships we all have with men and

races and creeds. i will do everything i can to see that it comes about. questions? reporter: governor, your statement seems stronger than it was. can you outline what you see as the framework of what we see in the video? what is so outraged today, you were saying you believe there is a racial component to this. i did not hear you say that. what makes the case different? is it just the video? governor dayton: i am not going into that. what i saw in the video, i told diamond how extraordinary i thought her poise and presence was to both make the recording the way she responded to the police in that situation. i mean, that prese

very -- it doesn't show obviously the incident itself occurring. the shooting as the weapon, but it showed the immediate aftermath of that. then she recounted the press we had this morning, in front of the residence that -- alison: there you have the minnesota governor mark dayton talking about this latest officer-involved shooting. philando castile was the victim in this one. you know, he basically said i'm heartbroken for minnesota today. jonathan: the particulars of the case are outrageous. the officer pulled this guy over for what they said was a broken taillight. alison: traffic stop. jonathan: the officer came up to the side of the car, the driver identified himself as he had a gun and a legal right to carry it. had a license for it and everything. he identified that to the officer and that is

opened fire. michelle: we heard from the governor sharing his personal views on this saying he does not believe this situation would have played out the way we saw it play out yesterday had the driver been white. or any other race other than black. there is that racial component to this, that we will be discussing for many days to come. but yes, another tragedy. now looking at back-to-back tragedies. regardless of your thoughts on the decisions that law enforcement has to make, it's a tragedy, a loss of life. jonathan: we will stay on top of both of the stories for you. let's switch gears to move over to see what is going on the roads. angela foster is keeping an eye on traffic this afternoon. how are you? >> things are going pretty good, actually. we are looking pretty good. relatively typically afternoon rush hour for the most part. we have a couple of fender benders sprinkled in here and there. checking on the major thoroughfares we see a few trouble spots, including a crash on the capital beltway.

loop, everything just moved over to the shoulder. you see we have minor slowing through the stretch. of course we are looking at inner and outer loop delays between 50, john hanson highway and for folks making the drive near 424. in the meantime, look at interstate 95 in maryland. while we are problem-free on most of the major thoroughfares we have the congestion northbound on the baltimore washington parkway as well as interstate 95, leaving the capital beltway. around the beltway it's through bethesda where we are seeing the hell i have flow, especially on the inner -- heavy flow, especially on the inner loop. the inner loop delays will cost you time before you even get into bethesda. crossing the american legion bridge. the delays are all the way into chevy chase. check on interstate 66. this is where we see the heavy flow in both directions, actually. especially westbound heading to centreville. that is the latest on the roads. back to the studio for you. alison: okay. thank you very much. go to the hill today where f.b.i. director james comey, well, he wa

hillary clinton scandal. and his departments decision not to recommend charging the former secretary of state. and presumptive democratic presidential nominee. >> what does it take for someone to misuse classified information and get in trouble for it? >> it takes mishandling it and criminal intent. >> and so an unauthorized server in the basement is not mishandling? >> well, no, there is evidence of mishandling here. this whole investigation at the end is there sufficient evidence of intent? >> i firmly believe that your decision was not based on convenience but on conviction. alison: so your chief political correspondent scott thuman is here, live from the capitol hill bureau. he watched all of this unfold. and so this was four hours-plus today on the hill, scott. wh d

take-away? scott: yeah, we were there for the beginning of it. you should have seen the line go all the way down the hall in rayburn because so many people had interest in what was called an emergency hearing. this was scheduled very quickly after the decision was made public by the f.b.i. the big take-away, you ask? there are a few of them. one that was interesting and we didn't know until we heard from director comey. this was a unanimous decision by the agents, the technology experts, the analysts. everyone who was involved into matily in the pro -- intimately in the process and interviewed then secretary of state hillary clinton this weekend, when they went through with with a fine-tooth comb and spent months looking through e-mails, they all believed she should not be charged. now that is not to say that there wasn't wrongdoing. that is the second point. he brought up the fact that when pressed, if she were for example, an employee of the f.b.i., something where he has purview, that yes, an employee who would be

place with her as secretary of state would be subject to reprimand, perhaps all the way up to termination. it's not that there isn't wrongdoing. but to the third and most important point he believes there was not a willful, criminal intent to break the law. while there was wrongdoing, once again, he said it's not something prosecutable. in the 99 years the f.b.i. director comey cited that the statute has been in place, only one time has someone been charged and prosecuted. that was a case of espionage. he couldn't go "celebrity hunting" and go after her for her status. he had to go by what he believes is the same standard placed on everyone else in the past 100 years. alison: okay. thank you for that. jonathan: let's talk about the weather. this is the real deal. michelle: comey was in the hot seat. everywhere else you walk around this town. doug: it's -

a couple more episodes in the remaining part of july and august as well. but this one you really thought of because it was so cool on the 4th of july. then boom, right into the heat. let's get you started with what we have at the moment and what is coming next. 93 at ronald reagan airport. duepoint is 70. so it -- dew point is 70 so it feels warmer than what the thermometer indicates. it feels like 102 in fredericksburg. 99 at patuxent river naval air station. a little cooler in the mountains. there is higher elevation and slightly cooler temperatures there as well. through the evening, we are going to keep our eyes open for isolated shower, maybe a rumble of thunder but it is likely west, southwest and south of washington. not in the metro area. it is going to stay warm and muggy in the region in the overnight. by early in the morning, 78, 779, as low as we will go in the beltway. through the day tomorrow, it's hot and humid again. 95 degrees. through th

everything, the chance of thunderstorms will increase. there is a chance, an outside chance of severe weather for part of the area. i could be a busy weather afternoon throughout the region. the storm prediction center put us at a slight risk for tomorrow afternoon and everything with the potential of the isolated severe thunderstorms. the next seven days shows the change is coming. but not until sunday. saturday is hot. isolated thunderstorm somewhere not impossible. the key is, it will be hot. but the humidity levels will drop in the afternoon. sunday, monday, so much nicer. sunshine. middle to upper 80's. a slow warming trend next week with the humidity levels returning thereafter. so thursday at 4:00, we have a trivia question. not sure how to word it. when was the most intense heatwave on record in the washington area? 12-day heatwave in 1930? 119-day heatwave four years ago in 2012? or 1993 with ten days of extreme heat and humidity? no googling allowed. make your guesses.

doug: really? michelle: never! doug: we have the answer in a few minutes. jonathan: coming up for us at "abc7 news at 4:00" -- a tall tale defunked. what a group of college students found out about a long accepting story about alexander hamilton. >> a northern virginia landmark that now has to close one day after the grand reopening. i'm jeff goldberg. the emotional reaction to what happened here coming up when "abc7 news at 4:00" continues

jonathan: look at this. a big fire that kind of just blew through this place. this was in springfield, virginia. a strip mall. the fire starting in a restaurant. the video was posted to twitter, steps away from the scene. you can see they got close. 75 to 80 people had to be evacuated from the building. fears that the a.c. unit on the roof could cave in. that is usually what happens in the fire. they try to vent the roof and the things fall in. no word on potential injuries. we'll pass along any more information when we get it in the newsroom. in the meantime, the folks at al's steakhouse in alexandria are cleaning up after the big fire there the other day. michelle: the timing couldn't be any worse here. i was the day of their grand reopening. alison: that is awful. northern virginia bureau chief jeff goldberg at the location, a popular spot there. owners and customers are in disbelief today. jeff: yeah, a sad situation. al's ste

landmark knows for the cheesesteak and the burgers. but right now it's closed. it's unsafe at the moment according to the city. you can see al's put up brown paper to hide the damage inside. we saw people coming, looking at things all day today. al's now closed after the fire yesterday after what was mentioned a moment ago. the grand reopening yesterday after the store was closed for six months. we spoke today with the owners. dor think and emily -- dorothy and emily, the owners of the institution. they bought it last year from the owner of al's for decades. it started yesterday at 4:00. customer noticed smoke from a light fixture. the smoke intensified and then everyone had to be evacuated and soon the restaurant engulfed in flames. al has stood here since 1965. it's a neighborhood institution. the family bought it from the

spent months refurbishing and now this. >> it seems like a bad dream. i can't believe it happened. >> of all the things you think of going wrong on opening day, this was never in the mind. jeff: certainly a sad situation. the exact cause of the fire remains under investigation. another question is what is going to happen next here at al's. now, we don't have a specific answer yes. but the owners and the people in the neighborhood think they have a good idea of where things will go from here. we have more coming up in the 5:00 hour on abc7 news. until then, live in alexandria. jeff goldberg, back to you in the studio. michelle: thank you. still ahead at "abc7 news at 4:00" -- police in montgomery county say a murder victim was seduced by sex. the manhunt for the suspect still on "why are you checking your credit score?

announcer: you're watching "abc7 news at 4:00". on your side. alison: you know who that is? justin bieber. apparently he is never too old for a water slide. jonathan: he is 14, isn't he? alison: no. he is at six flags america in prince george's county in maryland. he was finding one way to beat the heat. this is

bieber is scheduled to perform in baltimore tonight. jonathan: good for him. getting out and having a good time. michelle: hot enough for that. jonathan: good way to beat the heat. doug: question and answer time. revisit the question from a few minutes ago. let's take a look at it. the question was -- when was the most intense heatwave on record in the washington, d.c. area? 12-day stretch in 1930? 11-day stretch in 2012? 10-day stretch in 1993? jonathan: unanimous. michelle: we're going with the same answer 20. 12. doug: again, we have to get tougher questions. ding, ding, ding, ding! here is the story. remember the derecho that year? a lot of

july 5 and 6, 106 degrees. 105 on the 7th and 102 on july 8. that is it according to the record. that is not even the feels like. so what we have now kind of pales in comparison unless you spend a lot of tame outside -- a lot of time outside. low 90's in the district. upper 80's elsewhere. humidity levels are high everywhere you go. through the everything there could be an isolated shower. otherwise it's hot and humid for outdoor dining. temperatures only slowly dropping through the upper 80's through the mid-evening. later tonight we drop in the 70's. one shower complex forming north of front royal. drifting east. we will keep an eye on that. the forecast tonight. warm and humid. isolated shower. tomorrow is partly sunny. hot and humid. highs of 95. the heat index, feels like temperatures could be over 100 degrees. a few heavy to severe thunderstorms in the afternoon will be a possibility. relief comes on sunday. it will turn c

87, about the same on monday. slowly through tuesday, wednesday, thursday, the heat and the humidity will rise. you will say hey, it's summer in the city once again. >> shocker. doug: back to you. alison: thank you, doug. [gunfire] michelle: barrage of bullets there. this video just in the newsroom. it's from the metropolitan police department. it's body cam footage of an officer-involved shooting in june. you can hear in the video the officers asking the suspect to drop the gun for about four minutes. he didn't. that is when officers fired at him. the suspect died. we will have much more on the story coming up for you at 5:00. jonathan: most have seen the iconic image of marines raising the flag on iwo jima in world war ii when they got

it's a safe bet you haven't seen the 2016 version. body builders recreating the picture. but instead of a flag, the leader painted the flag on his body and held himself up on the staff. despite all the competition that his teams participated in, this was his proudest moment. look how long he had to hold it for. jonathan: he made sure everybody was in right position. don't waste time. michelle: d.c. the taking up the issue of tobacco again. alison: this is not an age issue but an image issue. jonathan: the city is considering banning even smoke lest tobacco from places like nats park so even the players couldn't chew in

of the instapoll. do you think smokeless tobacco should be banned at nats park? alison: roz plater has more. roz: they talked about it in the hearing. one of the issues getting attention is banning smokeless tobacco from sporting events. so there would be no chew, snuff but it would include stadiums and arenas. if passed it would put d.c. in the company of seven other cities with similar bans. it's largely aimed at baseball players who use the products and might influence children. >> according to the c.d.c.,

control, children and teens closely observe athletes' actions, including the use of their tobacco products. they tend to mimic what they see. roz: i should tell you i just got an e-mail back from one of the vice presidents of the nationals who say they support the bill. we did not hear back from the baseball players union about their stance on it. one more thing i should tell you. this ban doesn't include for now e-cigarettes. although they are already banned at national park. but it doesn't include that in the ban at the other venues. but i'm told by councilmember alexander she has another bill banning e-cigarettes in the wing. stay tuned for that. we're live in northwest d.c., i'm roz plater, abc7 news. jonathan: thanks. seduced by sex and then stabbed more than 40 times. that is how montgomery county police illustrated the latest gang-related murder. investigators say that four people are responsible for the

as montgomery county reporter kevin lewis explains, two of the people who are responsible for the killing are still out there on the run. kevin: montgomery county police are distributing these two wanted fliers showing two men they say brutally killed 18-year-old cristian villagran at this gaithersburg park last month. those men are 20-year-old jose ventura, and 27-year-old oscar delgado-perez. police already have two other young murder suspects in custody, including 19-year-old vanesa alvarado. major crimes detectives said alvarado lured villagran to the park with the promise of sex. when villagran arrived ms-13 gang members offered him marijuana. he accepted. entered the woods thinking he was going to smoke pot but was then savagely stabbed more than 40 times.

they were last known to be in the wheaton area. we believe they know we are looking for them and we want to get them in custody as soon as possible so they are no longer contributing to ms-13 mayhem. kevin: investigators do not believe victim cristian villagran was associated with the ms-13 gang. but rather a hardworking landscaper living with his 'cuz on the save money. his mother resides in new jersey. police will not divulge a motive. reporting in gaithersburg, i'm kevin lewis. back to you. jonathan: horrible. coming up next at "abc7 news at 4:00" -- a tall tale debunked. what a group of college students found out about a long-accepting story about alexander hamilton. michelle: still ahead, you booked your summer vacation. everything is planned out. and then the surprise surcharges. the six things you have to look ou

trying to make me eat my greens?low. no, just trying to save you some green. whaaat?! thousands of blue tags. thousands of low prices. my giant.

jonathan: scholars are challenging a key true about alexander hamilton. michelle: in the musical "hamilton" it's said that martha washington named her cat "tomcat" after his

philandering. but there is no evidence he was a tomcat. documents revealed today by the alexander hamilton awareness society the story emerged 50 years after hamilton died. also in hamilton's lifetime, a tomcat just meant a male cat. nothing more. jonathan: not a hounddog. michelle: no. jonathan: there you go. michelle: well, you know the "hamilton" musical is getting a shakeup. but not to change the tomcat storyline. saturday will be the last production, including miranda, the director, producer, writer, of course, the star. jonathan: tickets for that performance going from $1,600 to get this, $20,000 a ticket. that is on stubhub. $20,000 tickets are row a, central orchestra. front row seat to watch the last performance. michelle: perhaps you get sweat on you. jonathan: i want to sit four rows back now. michelle: think you have your

to look out for that could appear on your next bill. steve: we are cranking up the heat once again. we are well in the 90's. even hotter tomorrow. what about the upcoming weekend? and yet another heatwave on the seven-day. i'll tell you about it a

because my teeth are yellow. these photos? why don,t you use a whitening toothpaste?

try crest 3d white. crest 3d white diamond strong toothpaste and rinse... ...gently whiten... ...and fortify weak spots. use together for 2 times stronger enamel. crest 3d white.

jonathan: "7 on your side" consumer alert now. everything you know about laundry is wrong. okay, not really. but a long-held truth is now outdated because "consumer reports" says you no longer need to use hot water to get your clothes cleaner. that is a myth. new detergents work better in cold water so if you need to sanitize something, it recommends bleach. dipping clothing in boiling water and ironing. that will get it out of there. michelle: good to know. good and bad news from verizon. we start with the bad news. prices of the monthly cell phone plans are going up by $5 or $10. but the good news is the rates come with more data that hopefully end up saving you money if you typically go over your

jonathan: wendy's said hackers stole credit card information from 1,000 u.s. restaurants. they gained access to card numbers, expiration date and code numbers on the cards and some customers found fraudulent charges. wendy's is posting a list of the affected stores on the website. michelle: this is the prime time for vacation. you budget your trip. you are ready to go. and then the sneaky surcharges. consumer reporter john matarese shows us what to look out for so you don't waste your money. john: i just got back from a wonderful week on florida's panhandle. a great reason tall condo and a beautiful beach. but wow! the extra surcharges added up. a caution before your next getaway to the shore. more and more travel destinations are lowering the initial price. you find them in the web search and add on features a la carte. boy did we find that in recent vacation.
