plea that he has been making for years. >> please make sure you have a working smoke detector. that you check to make sure it's working every month and plan two ways out of every room in your home. jonathan: so sad. that is brad bell reporting. also at 4:00, a car slams in a packed tavern in prince george's county. several people were hurt. sam ford in marlboro pike in upper marlboro with breaking news for us. sam? sam: yes, jonathan. according to police it was around 1:15. if you look behind me, you see the people? that car went in the restaurant here, top of the hill, during the busy lunchtime when a crowd of 30 people were inside. it laterally came through flinging cinder block and brick through inner walls scattering patrons in disbelief.

nichols who came there for lunch in the recess of a trial. >> a car comes through the wall at a high rate of speed and crashed through. i was at the center table. there is a table to the side. there is a wall inside separates the bar from the restaurant part. that came down. i had everybody on top of me before it was over with. the wall, the second wall, people. the police were kind enough to help me get out. >> you are sitting there making conversation -- >> conversation. happened in a second. sam: of course, we looked at the judge. his one sleeve had blood on it and the other had been ripped to shreds. according to the prince george's fire authorities, nine people were injured, seven taken to hospitals. two of those are in serious but non-life

wounds. judge nichols says the man on top of him was unconscious and removed by police. clearly, a lot of concern about what is happening there. we will hear more coming up at "abc7 news at 5:00". reporting live from prince george's county, i'm sam ford, abc7 news. michelle: thank you. this just in from the hill, republican arizona senator jeff flake announcing on the senate floor a short time ago he will not run for re-election. but it's the way he did it that is unlike anything we have seen. a blistering critique of the political climate, president trump and his own party on such a grand stage. flake saying it is his obligation to be critical of the president, adding it's duty and conscious. >> reckless, outrageous and undignified behavior has been excused as telling it like it is when it's actually just reckless, outrageous and undignified. michelle: he w

the remainder of his term through 2018. it's important to note that flake has been outspoken critic of trump so no loved lost here. that is now two republican senators if you are keeping track not running for re-election. we are monitoring twitter for a response from the president. michelle marsh from the "live desk." back to you. alison: thank you. new at 4:00, surveillance video from inside a wing shop in prince george's county in a deadly shooting. late last week, rasheed edwards pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and three counts of attempted murder. he will spend the next several decades behind bars. darryl hairston was killed. >> there is nothing about this that makes any sense. when you watch the video, you can see that this defendant is walking around. he is talking. he has a phone. all of a sudden the violence erupts that is just unacceptable. it's unnecessary. it's inexcusable. we are glad he does not have a second opportunity to commit this violence. alison: police

problem. edwards said no and left. and then looked back in there and started shooting. this just in. volunteer fire chief in prince george's county faces nearly two dozen charges. investigators say matthew fowler threatened to slash his girlfriend's tires and fled from police in charles county not once but twice. he was off-duty at the time. but the investigators say he was driving a fire department vehicle. nancy: police in bowie looking for a man who sexually assaulted a woman in a run. the man attacked her around 4:30 monday afternoon. this was near jennings mill drive and jennings lane. anyone with any information is asked to call police. jonathan: let's switch here's. if you got to get outside i hope you enjoyed it. what a beautiful day it was. fall will be returning. a chilly and more seasonable stretch coming our

has the forecast. we need jackets to be handy. what are those? bill: we have only had a handful of days that the temperature is below normal for the month of october. good evening. it's beautiful. nats park to the west. you see a few of the low-level clouds but we are still in the 70's now. 73 specifically. when you look at the other numbers here, you go to the west. it's cooler. i tell you that because that is headed our direction. 53 in columbus right now. 46 in indianapolis. chicago just 47. currently that is not the low for tonight. that is what it is now. planning the rest of the evening, you may want the coat tonight. 71 degrees. at 5:00 we'll say. by 9:00, if you are running in the high heel race you need heels and a sweatshirt as well. not the nicest wardrobe i suppose but that is what it will be. we talk about how cool it will get tonight and look ahead at the stretch coming up. jonathan: look forward to it, bill. thanks. despite massive effort to overcome electrical problems plaguing metro one iss

arcing incidents. metro chalked this up to a wet summer. stephen tschida is here to explain this to us. stephen: arcing incidents are serious. these are the situations which can fill the metro tunnels with smoke. we saw a spike in the quarter of the year but metro is crediting that, or blaming that on the very wet summer we had. despite safetrack, a major undertaking to make metro safer, statistics just released sparked concern about electrical arcing. the problem which filled a tunnel with smoke and cost a passenger her life in january 2015. the statistics indicate an increase in arcing despite a major safety push in the past two years. >> that is ridiculous.

metro saw 19 arcing incidents. during the same period last year, it had nine. but a key factor may play a role. arcing occurs when dirt, mud or water interfere with the electrical current from the third rail. this july we saw some of the heaviest rain in recent history. a rep from metro says if you look at the entire year the incidents of arcing is down dramatically from 2016. >> we had a really wet july. that could make sense. i would love to get metro the benefit of the doubt. i really do think they are trying. i have seen improvements. stephen: if you look at the year, january through september, in 2016, there were 110 arcing incidents. so far this year, 2017, 82. so,

he believes the system is on the right track as far as safety. reporting live, stephen tschida, abc7 news. alison: thank you. reminder to go to wjla.com/text to sign up for metro text alerts. you will get updates sent from the newsroom to your phone. well, today marks 15 years since the end of the d.c. sniper shooting. john allen muhammad and lee boyd malvo were arrested 15 years to the day ending three weeks of terror across the d.c. area. they were picked up asleep in their car in the middle of the night at a restaurant in myersville, maryland. muhammad was execute and malvo is spending the rest of his life behind bars. nancy: president trump's ban of refugees has come to an end. the four-month hiatus was put in place to develop new tougher screening procedures. more stringent background

policy instead to take place. refugee admissions are capped at 45,000 for the fiscal year that started at the beginning of the month. jonathan: not everyone welcomed president trump to capitol hill today. as he arrived with lunch for republican senators. watch. did you see the flags there? yep. protesters tossing a handful of skinny russian flags at president as he was passing by. they took that man away. the man identified himself as ryan clayton. he tried to get jared kushner, the president's son-in-law to sign a russian flag after a congressional hearing. nancy: on the hill, more of a protest. we have more. >> greeted by a mcof reporters and lone pro -- mob of reporters and lone protester, he

he had work to do after sparring with several senators. but the republicans in the white house are determined to get tax legislation into law this year. >> our tax cuts will restore america's competitive edge and lower the crushing tax burden on the people. >> it calls center steep cuts for corporation and for individuals and double the standard deduction used by most americans, shrink the tax brackets from seven to three or four and repeal inheritance taxes on multimillion dollar estates. >> anything that will unify republicans is tax reform. >> but details have yet to be worked out and democrats is urging the president to pay attention to the details no more tweeting. no more soup fishality. read the bill -- superficiality. >> senator corker accused president tru

overpromising. the president said it would not affect 401k plans, mortgage or charitable deductions. >> leave the effort to the tax writing committee and let them do their work and not take things off the table. >> meanwhile, republican leaders say at this point they are not worried about the ongoing corker-trump fight on taxeses and other issues. not worried that it will delay the push for tax reform. jonathan: coming up next at "abc7 news at 4:00" -- a burglary suspect was caught on camera. how he was able to break in will have you thinking twice about just what you are leaving in your parked car. alison: neighborhoods on edge. the search for what police and residents believe is a serial killer on the loose in florida. the measure is taken right now in hopes of stopping the next shooting. nancy: no fear. the take-down inside a bank and all caught on tape. what happens moments after this brawl is next. jonathan: still ahead at

4:30 -- capital bike share, is it popular for its own good? the advancement that is eating

alison: home break-ins in two counties but are they connected? a recent case now caught on camera. our q mccray is here to explain this. q mccray

q: i spoke to the police and they confirmed two such incidents happened early monday morning. this is a look at the person they are looking for. surveillance video of the crime in progress. it was recorded after 2:00 a.m. on monday. the man you see here did not make it in the home you are looking at, at the moment. but he did make it to the neighbor's home. that family had just had a party that sunday night. they didn't lock up the home properly. they left the garage door open. the suspect makes his way into the house and is confronted by the son who scares the man off. the good news is no one was hurt and nothing was taken but man of the house michael mcgrady says he knows it could have been worse for his family that night. >> when you just dodge a bullet, the overwhelming feeling is you were lucky. we're grateful. somebody was looking out for

us. >> last week we told you about a string of burglaries in sterling, virginia, loudoun county that isn't far away from here. i found out the loudoun county detectives and the herndon county police are working together to figure out if the crimes are related. if they are, the same person could be wanted for at least 13 crimes in the last week and a half. getting into homes using everything including garage door openers. i will talk more about that coming up in the 6:00 hour. until then, that is the latest from herndon. i'm q mccray. alison: you can review the surveillance video and this story by downloading the wjla abc7 news app available on google play and at the app store. nancy: too frighteninged to step outside. that is a feeling in florida where they believe a serial killer is on the loose. three people shot and killed in two weeks and abc's victor oquendo is in

are tracking down every potential lead. victor: they are reaching out to the community for help. the authorities are breaking the rules in this case, they admit. >> normally as police departments we don't like to give information out to people. we are tight-lipped when it comes to crimes but we have told more information in these cases than we normally do because this is about public safety, public awareness. >> at this point all the police have to go on is a grainy surveillance video showing a person wearing a hoodie on the night of the first murder. >> everybody at this point is a suspect. if you are out there walking alone, you are a suspect or a potential victim. >> even with the more visible police presence in the neighborhood, authorities want the residents to be extra cautious. >> we need you to turn lights on and be visible. we need you to tell us what you see. every little bit makes a difference. >> the mayor isn't ready to say they are dealing with a serial killer.

murders is crime frame and proximity. victims were killed less than half a mile apart. two were killed three bus stops and the third victim was walking to a friend's home. her body discovered in an empty lot. >> they are being ambushed. is this person on the bus? is he following them? million-dollar questions now. hopefully law enforcement is all over this and has answers to the questions. right now they are chasing a ghost. >> none of the victims were robbed. none of the three knew each other. jonathan: how is this for crime fighting? more crime tackling. watch this. the guy with the gun and the mask. i'm going to get a bank robbery. whoa! out of the corner someone does a perfect midfield takedown. another, that is a wrestling move by the way. they tear the guy's mask off. he had a gun, right? he is holding them and then he is on the way out the door. police made an arrest short t
