[captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org] jummy: police investigating a shooting outside the british parliament. scott is following this for us. what are you learning so far? intt: breaking of elements the past hour. let me lay out the scene. taking a look at some of the live pictures. it is not entirely clear what has occurred. at the same time, there's a lot we can piece together. or 50an hour and 10 minutes ago, there were two reports of what now have been deemed terror incidents until they are dispelled as such. what we had was a car that reportedly was crossing westminster bridge and mowing down people, a new or from eight to a dozen, perhaps -- mowing down people, perhapsig

dozen more. as it widens, we're showing you parliament. sameament, potentially the thing to be looking at the n washington, d.c., is shut down. members have been secured inside as they were conducting business. this all occurred. it seemed like the driver of that car may very well be the same person that is involved in let's call it incident number two. that is where someone got through the fence line and tried to and effectively did stab uniformed police officer. another officer came to that officer's aid and shot the assailant. we're now hearing the assailant has been killed. we're talking about two incidents that we did not know initially they were connected. we just got the statement being reported from a member of parliament who is relaying information and said it appeared a car was mowing down pedestrians on the way to the house of parliament and got access to the parliamentary estate, stab the police officer an

incident. we don't know how many people in total have been injured, if there are other suspects. is shut down. at least one suspect shot. you can see the chaos that has unfolded. if you're not from a year with this location, this is on the themes river. that is big ben in the center. parliament is to the left. everything shut down. you go,efore we let couple of questions. can you tell us about police in the u.k. and the response? we know they are not armed. scott: there are very few officers who are on a day-to-day handguns inwith london. that is one session in particular where if you want to see that, you will see any officers with heavy artillery. that is because this is basically our version of the u.s. capital. security is very

one of our producers who lived , since ansince 1979 ira attack there. if you roam the streets of london, it is quite difficult to find a police officer who is armed. it is something they have been for quitefend off some time. they like the fact that police officers would walk the beat and have this comfortable, familiarity with neighbors. there was not a need for a show of force with arms. that is not to say they don't have a tremendous and some would argue perhaps one of the best in the world forces to fight terror incidents. and they have staved off quite a few attacks successfully. nonetheless, they have been at with a call severe threat level for quite some time. i've done numerous reports from where you're looking at that corner, and the big green space that you will see at the bottom left of your screen, on terror threat tou

across europe. you can bet you will see european capitals, including here in the united states, on alert after this incident. jummy: another question, we know in the past few years, these same things happening in paris and today being the one year anniversary of the attack in brussels. what is the history of terror attacks in the u.k. and when was the last time we saw possibly another terror attack? scott: we have not seen anything this significant since what they call the 77 bombings in 2005. 52 people were killed when a set of i believe four suicide attacks occurred on trains and in buses all around london. that was a day that shook the entire region as people tried to figure out what is their path moving forward. after that, you had the lee rigby incident, an off-duty soldier. he was not far from his barracks when a couple

lone wolf's, you might want to call them, attacked him and stabbed him to death in the middle of the road. honestly, that put everyone on alert as well. obviously, that put everyone on alert as well. this would appear to have been one that they were unable to fend off. jummy: we will check back in with you a few minutes. in the meantime, we want to get to more breaking news. closer to home, where following reports a woman attempted to jump the white house fence overnight and she got stuck. she was suspended in the air on the other side of the fence. she was not armed. she was arrested immediately by secret service. according to cnn, the woman had a map of the white house in her possession. let's turn to the forecast. you can see a windy day out there. the cold is back as well. temperatures took a major

the third day of spring. doug hill is your with a look at the forecast. look at the live white house. you can see the flag. very strong winds. the late march sun is incredibly strong. it is chilly, but you can feel the heat. temperatures are running a few degrees warmer at noon than we thought they would. 45 at reagan national. 44 in annapolis. i think we will probably wind out in the upper 40's. cooler than average, but ok. clear skies all the way through. tonight, the winds will diminish, dropping into the 30's by late tonight. i think most will wake up to temperatures in the 20's. a pretty good push of high pressure from the north and west. tons of sunshine. the cold front all the way south into north carolina where they were in the middle 80's yesterday. now they will have to shiver through lower 60's today.

morning. this is air temperature. a very cold start. we will start to pull back out with 20 of sunshine again tomorrow. do you like warmer to vitor's? we have that coming up in about nine minutes. jummy: thank you. now to the story raising concerns even at the white house. two students here legally accused of raping a rockville high school student. school montgomery county district is coming under fire. john gonzales has the latest. john: for days, the school system has stayed quiet. we're finally hearing from the school superintendent and even the white house has addressed this. police in a gallery county telling us this 14-year-old girl was brutally raped inside the high school. rockville high school. twod a undocumented -- by and document it students. we're told

18-year-old henry sanchez arrived illegally last summer. he was retained by border patrol in texas. an immigration hearing is still pending. the other suspect, arrived around the same time. both in rolled here as freshman. the school superintendent says no matter the history herein montgomery county, no child is ever turned away. what anyone'snow immigration status is in the school system because the law says we do not collect that. students come into our schools and we give them service, and we don't do criminal background checks on students. here with the school held to say, what the parents had to say and kind of expecting this, too. john: there was a pta meeting scheduled at the high school last night. cameras were not allowed inside. we did have a chance to speak to some of those parents. the school superintendent saying security measures are being reviewed. we know there are 105 c

the high school, but they are not monitored live. reporting in rockville, john gonzales. jummy: we turn to another bombshell hovering around the trump administration. former campaign chairman paul manafort reportedly secretly worked for russian billionaire. here is kenneth moton. trump's health care battle could take center stage tomorrow on the house floor. pres. trump: it is a crucial vote for the republican party in the people of our country. replacely repeal and the disaster known as a obamacare. >> the day after the president's full port chris -- full-court press and on capitol hill, today more presidential pressure. trump working the phones from the white house, staffers active the hill to try to one of those republican "no" votes. trump even pulling out the threat to win gop lawmakers they would be full's not to support the bill.

>> i don't think this is consistent with what the american people senator to accomplish. >> overshadowed by the fbi investigation into the president, his campaign, and alleged ties to russia. the associated press reports in 2005, trans x campaign chair paul manafort secretly worked for russian billionaire to advance the interests of russian president vladimir putin. reportedly obtaining business documents by the ap that show manafort launched an ambitious probe. manafort, who is denied any connection to russia, said this morning his work for the russian billionaire did not involve representing russian political interests. but it appears that work was -- still contradicts previous statements made by manafort and the trump administration that he never worked for russian interests. jummy: coming up at noon, we continue to follow the latest out of london. a police officer stabbed. another

several people mode it down by a car. police looking at this as a possible act of terror. we continue to follow the latest. in the meantime, a look at traffic here at home. angela: this afternoon, we're dealing with operations time is up on the capital beltway not only in montgomery county. fairfax county, road maintenance operations with a lane closure. outer loop at the north end of the express lanes to the dulles toll road, you will lose a traveling. on therk zone set up inner loop at the south and as you take a look at the big picture map. you see red on the george parson could parkway -- george washington parkway. quickly to the traffic lane cameras. interstate 95 through millington, looks like we're making progress. had an earlier crash that made us have delays all the way back to newington

crashese the northbound, pennsylvania avenue, right center lane is blocked. we have a lot more news for y

jummy: we want to get back to the breaking news. police investigating a shooting outside the british parliament. scott is back with us. i understand you have learned new information? scott: this is an incident that is being assumed to be care until proven otherwise. parliament shut down in london as you look at those live pictures. what we have learned in the past

british police are looking at as three possible separate incints. they may be connected. the first one is a car went on westminster bridge mowing down people from a multiple people injured. and you have the scene you're looking at where there is a car that crash, the one that was on the bridge, crashing into the fence line in front of parliament as you see more injuries. the third is the stabbing of a police officer inside the fence line of parliament. assailant, that suspect, was shot by police. it would seem probable all three of these are the same, connected. they're just being careful not to link all of them definitively as they investigate this. this is a very active scene. they are saying they're treating them as a terror attack until they can expressly say otherwise. they have extended the cordoned off section to go beyond a parliament square. we know if you look at what they have been doing with

with lately, it is interesting for some perspective. it was last year we were in london doing reporting since they just rolled out what they called their task force, their anti-terror unit to be kind of a stronger group of armed individuals on everything from high-speed motorcycle so they could navigate london traffic quickly to get to incidents to boats on the water. they wanted to make sure they were prepared for any sort of incident. essentially, stepping up their game in an effort to be a little respond quickly to tear incidents. you can imagine a lot of those members are on scene you're seeing right now. additionally, just two days ago, there was a simulation of a hostage taking scenario on one of those tourist both that are constantly going up and down the river, which backs right up to parliament and big bren.

of the simulations. obviously, different from what we're seeing now. this would follow in line with a lot of what we have seen as threats that are essentially instructed by isis wear them said, use knives and use cars as weapons, especially in areas where it is difficult to get access to guns. london would fall under that threshold. this unfold.ng parliament is shut down. a police officer stabbed and multiple people run down by that car. you can imagine across the world people are being very careful now in european capitals and here in the united states where president trump has been alerted to the incident as well. jummy: thank you for the great information in the update. in the meantime, happening now, belgian leaders, survivors and families of victims, coming together to mark the first anniversary of the brussels terror attack. today, memorials were unveiled at each attack site. one year ago, isis militants

little bit on wednesday. for the end of next week, another cold front will drive temperatures back. this is the same pattern we saw in november and december. up's and downs. at least when the ups oh up, they're higher than when the lows go lower. does that make sense? we're making progress. jummy: i don't see any 30's in the highs. for you.t is a winner good. jummy: much more ahead on abc 7 at noon. we are following the coverage in london. here's what is going on tonight at 5:00. >> coming up tonight, and alert. there is a despicable con playing on a parent's worst fear . father oneaching this a phone and had information about his family and made a deadly threat that dropped him to his knees. news attonight on abc 7 5:00.
