about cold-hearted fundraisers looking to cash in on an i-66 tragedy. >> we saw the navy. we were like yes! announcer: and remember the two women picked you have after months adrift in the pacific? why the coast guard wonders is if they did it on purpose. "abc7 news at 4:00" starts right now. michelle: we begin with breaking news. i'm michelle marsh from the "live desk." this is lower manhattan to the west side highway to be exact. you are seeing the live picture. an active investigation underway right now. early indications that one person is now being reported dead after a road rage incident. here is how the vents unfolded according to the police and the witnesses. we understand that one person got in a road rage incident with another driver. that then led to a verbal altercation. then after that, we understand that shots were fired. you are looking live at a live

we understand four people were hurt in all of this. apparently a truck of some type went up the west side highway on what is being described as a bike path. that is where the four people were hurt. we understand one person is dead. according to nypd, they put out a tweet not too long ago and they say the situation is under control, there is no current threat to anyone else in the area. but they do have one person in custody. at this time we are not sure if that is one of the drivers who opened fire or if it is someone else. but according to nypd, they are no longer looking for anyone. it seems pretty early in the investigation to come out with that declaration but they certainly have more information that is being made available to us right now. that is the latest. one dead after an apparent road rage incident. very active scene. of course, this being rush hour in new york city. lower manhattan. a very busy place at this time. so for that portion of

certainly a big deal for people there. as soon as we get some more details on the circumstances that led up to this incident, we will be sure to pass it along to you. but again, breaking news coming to us as we come on the air. this happened a matter of 20 minutes ago. a person went up a the highway -- went up the highway, ran over four people. one person is dead and now they are trying to investigate the situation to figure out exactly what led to this. i'm michelle marsh at the "live desk." back to you. jonathan: as soon as you get more, let us know. thanks. in over news, today is the day. halloween arrived. nancy: a little while now families will be out going door to door, trick-or-treating for candy. nancy: for you offwork, you may head to happy hours and halloween parties. we have team coverage to help you stay safe and warm. jonathan: chief meteorologist bill kelly is in arlington. alison: but stephen tschida, road closures that are about to go into place.

we are in the harriet of georgetown. we have already got some people here who are decked out for the halloween festivities. now m street expected to be packed with people. and this year, a lot of security along with them. [cheering] halloween night in georgetown is party central. this year, expect a large police presence. and a big swath of city streets closed to vehicular traffic. >> i think they should be cautious. that's what i think. stephen: as people across d.c. get in the halloween spirit, last year on the night of october 31, d.c. had a slew of vicious assaults. bans of marauding kids tore through the city, attacking and robbing people. >> i would probably stick with a big group. definitely. stephen: one of the most severe beatings on a georgetown university student. he lives feet from w

attack took place. >> i will be out with the group but the draw of m street will bring people back. it's tradition. stephen: i spoke with a commander about 45 minutes ago. she told me that this year d.c. will be flooded with police on halloween night. bottom line, trying to keep people as safe as possible. now for the trick-or-treat forecast, let's go to stormwatch7's chief meteorologist bill kelly in arlington. bill? bill: yeah. i tell you what. it is a good night. thank you very much. a little on the cool side. i have a light jacket on. probably just a degree of two south of where i would put it on. but you see we have a lot of sunshine. trees look beautiful. color is around. we have some blue sky. let me show you temperatures. we are not bad right now. we are running between 65 to 62 degrees depending where you are. here is what it looks like as we go through the night

the beltway where we have the temperatures that will drop down to the 50's. once the sun goes down tonight, quickly cooling. 54 at 7:00. 52 by 8:00. 50 at 9:00. i want to show you. we put together a graph hour-by-hour literally across our area. temperatures will be very different. here we are at 4:00. watch at 5:00. if you folks are out in the western valley, say the shenandoah valley for example, you will see the temperatures drop. 5:00, we're still in the 50's. take you to 6:00. now we'll see the temperatures mid-to-low 50's in many locations. winchester, 50 degrees at that time. the sun technically still up then. we get to 7:00, now the kids are out running around and trick-or-treating. we have 40's on the map. 45 in winchester. we will still be in the mid-50's around the district. 48 for manassas. culpeper at 49. then we get? the 8:00 and the 9:00 time frame. that's where the kids and you parents will feel it if you are out and about with temperatures west of the blue ridge mountains in the low 40's out there. we

mid-to-the upper 40's and the low 50s around the metro area. a cool night tonight. we are out here specifically for an event going on for 26 years. we will tell you about it coming up in a little bit. we will talk about a warmup before the next weather maker. that and more in a little while. back to you. alison: we'll see you soon. thank you so much. get the hour-by-hour forecast based on your location. it's available on google play and at the app store. just in the newsroom, a victim hurt in the terrible crash a week ago died. a car slammed through the wall of a crowded tavern in upper marlboro. abc7 maryland bureau chief brad bell has the update now. brad? brad: yeah, alison. it happened here at the top of the hill restaurant. you can see here this is where the car came flying in. they already started blocking it up. we are concentrating to get reopened but then the t

news came today so we showed you this video last week. of when this happened. height of lunch hour. a car comes crashing through the wall. for several days we thought this was a story of a miracle. this car blasting in here. nobody dying. but sadly we learned today that 73-year-old isaiah pugh, one of those injured here, has succumb to his injuries. he was here having a meeting about the boy scouts. he is a long-time volunteer. a leader in the scouts. he was meeting with the chairman of the boy scouts to do good deeds to look after good people when the car came crashing in. it was a violent crash. the police officers, the firefighters were in the establishment. they rushed to help. they tried to get people to safety. we said we thought it would be the story of a

but this has an unhappy ending. thaw want to find out why the woman driving the car came at a high rate of speed in the building. if charges result in the end it could change the charges but here, they have been working to get reopened. a time of sadness. the owner's wife said these are guests in their home. they are crushed to get the news. in upper marlboro, brad bell, abc7 news. nancy: thank you. a tragedy in maryland. marisa harris killed when a 12-year-old boy jumped from a bridge on i-66. now some are trying to take advantage of your generosity. nathan baca at the "live desk" with the fake go fund me warning here. this

nathan: marisa harris' family calls this sad and disrespectful. they discovered several fraudulent go fund me and other fundraising sites using their daughter's name. the family tells "7 on your side" they haven't set up any online donation set yet. we looked for the fraudulent websites this afternoon and they appear to be taken down. go fund me tells me that they did not receive any donations and the user was banned. they had less than one-tenth of 1% of the campaign are fraudulent. live at the satellite center, nathan baca, abc7 news. jonathan: thank you. we learned that netflix is suspending "house of cards" after the harassment allegation of the star against kevin spacey to plays the fictional president in the show. they shoot it in maryland and they announced the upcoming season previously would be the last one. alison: online ads are the target of a congressional investigation when it comes to russia's involvement in the 2016 election. this just 24

members of the trump campaign appeared in court. serena marshall on the hill with today's development. serena: a presidential pivot. mr. trump tried to move back to policy. and pass the charges, special counsel robert mueller levied against paul manafort, his deputy and the guilty plea against campaign adviser george papadopoulos. the indictment for tax evasion, money laundering and fraud against the deputy rick gates came the same morning that papadopoulos's guilty plea was unsealed. he pleaded guilty to lying to the f.b.i. about several interactions with the suspected russian agent with significant ties to the russian government. president trump's personal lawyer responded. the end result is the meeting doesn't take place. there is no time of collusion. tried to put to rest concerns that the president may fire a special counsel. >> there is no conversation regarding firing robert mueller. there is no ba

robert mueller. >> the top republican on the senate intelligence committee not comforted by the promise. as the questions of the possible collusion swirl on capitol hill, russia interference front and center with the executives from twit irand google facing a congressional panel. facebook revealed the russian purchase ads reached more than half of all u.s. facebook users. 126 million people. that is more than one in three americans. investigators say the sophisticated campaign also included twitter posts and youtube videos like this one. an effort to stir up racial tensions and influence the election. >> when it comes to the 2016 election, i want to be clear. we take what happened on facebook very seriously. serena: facebook told senators in october of 2016 they disabled nearly 6 million fake accounts. something the senators want to know is what the social media giants will do to ensure national security moving

marshall, abc7 news. michelle: michelle marsh at the breaking news live desk. we want to update you on the breaking news from lower manhattan on the west side highway. you are now seeing an aerial view of the activity happening there. very busy investigation is now underway. the death toll now up to two. the number just increasing in a matter of the last ten minutes when we last spoke. this is apparently the outcome of a road rage incident. let me walk you through what we have in terms of where the investigation stands. two drivers got nan argument and one driver mowed down people on a bike path. there are reports of shots fired. they are looking into that and they haven't found if those reports are valid or not. breaking news situation a lot of pieces in motion and police trying to get to the bottom of

witnesses say they saw a pickup truck now down people on the bike lane of the westside highway and they say multiple people were struck. all the of them have been taken to the hospital except for the two now confirmed dead. they have one person in custody. in a tweet police say nothing one else is outstanding. meaning, they have their suspect. the mayor has been briefed. as soon as we get update about a press briefing or anything new on the scene we will be certain to pass it along to you. back to you. alison: okay. thank you very much. keep us posted on that. still to come at "abc7 news at 4:00" -- dockless bikes. they are convenient and scattered across the city. but they have been left abandoned. "7 on your side" asking what are the companies and the city doing about it? >> plus, why some retailers don't take kindly to aluminum foil. jonathan: do you remember the couple of women stranded at sea for five months? they had the dogs with

do you remember the whole deal? >> can you hear us? can you hear us? "yes, we can." we are being saved! jonathan: well, the device they failed to use that is poking holes in their story. will you still believe them after we tell you?

ralcandidate for'm governor,rtham, and i sponsored this ad. rrator: they call him enron ed.rtham, because washington, dc lobbyist ed gillespie represented the worst of the worst. lenders trying to keep student loan rates high. corporations sending jobs overseas. and of course the enron scandal. now, enron ed is lobbying for donald trump's agenda. like cuts to virginia school funding, and taking away healthcare from thousands of virginians. enron ed gillespie. he's not lobbying for you.

stole three pair of pants from the h&m and the guess stores a it westfield wheaton mall. the officers found loose, crumpled up foil in the backpack. when the police notified h&m, the employees reviewed store surveillance video that alleged captured green wrapping

sensors in the store's elevator. green has been caught stealing before is now facing jail time. insiders explain this illegal practice is another challenge for the struggling industry. jonathan: thank you. i want to show you road rage caught on camera. watch. that will leave a mark. this is in hawaii. they capture the moment he sideswiped him and then hit him again. alison: what is going on? jonathan: i know. get control of yourself. alison: also caught on camera. the suspects hiding in the ceiling. when the men heard the cops coming they jumped up to try to avoid the police. like a heist movie.

man but they didn't know a second man was hanging on up there. they found out and they ended up ripping him down through the ceiling tiles. jonathan: the video is priceless. yanks him. he has his foot. leverage. nancy: come on down. jonathan: here he comes. i got him. we'll pull you down. we got you. alison: flor to run. jonathan: they got their man. you remember the women rescued at sea and had their dogs with them and out there for months? experts question if they were really stranded for five months and why they never activated the boat's emergency beacon. the beacon thing? the navy found the beacon thing and they were just off the coast of japan last week. had they hit that, everyone in the world would have known they needed help. the women said they were adrift for months but the coast guard said it appeared to work fine and they could have notified vessels all over the world if they triggered it. go to wjla.com/votenow now to participate in the unscientific instapoll.

the dogs? dogs are honest but i'm wondering. alison: don't blame the dogs. turn to halloween. we want to share your pictures. log on to burst.com/wjla. we are talking pets or people. that is a good one. we would love to share pictures with us and we'll put them on air. nancy: a lot of confused dogs today. jonathan: why are you putting this on me? alison: very cute. as halloween arrives we have an f.d.a. warning. this is about black licorice. if you eat too much of it you could end up with irregular heart rhythm, especially if you are over 40 years old. that is good news for kids i guess. but the part that makes it sweeter could make it dangerous including higher blood pressure. en

so don't eat too much of it. nancy: i like the red licorice. jonathan: i like both. i am not over 40. i can eat all i want. alison: you are safe. jonathan: my nose is growing. we have chief meteorologist bill kelly in the elements for us, trick-or-treating. this guy with as much energy as he has does not need sugar added to the equation. bill: yeah. how do you eat the black ones, though? i'm with you with the red licorice. this is an event going on for 26 years. starting to get the crowd around. how is everybody doing? this is a big parade down the blue mont junction trail. i have a couple of friends. come on over.

look at the camera. say hi to your friends. >> hi. bill: what are you looking forward to the most on the parade? >> i want popcorn. >> very good. what about you? >> i'm looking forward to playing on the rocks and getting the treats. bill: is that sounds extremely exciting. lou, you're very silent. what about you? are you excited for the event tonight? >> yes. bill: yes! that is all we need to know. this is a good night for the halloween festivities. a little on the cool side. it feels nicer in the sunshine. speaking of the sunshine, start you what is going on. the national harbor, the capital wheel out. beautiful everything. temperature wise we are okay. below normal. a current temperature of 62. but temperatures will fall considerably if roll through the night. we should be

the 7:00 to 9:00 time frame. great hours for the kids trick-or-treating. some of the folks in the western valley it's cooler than that. you want the extra layer. especially for the parents walking around. sometimes the kids are running from house to house and they warm up. but the trend overnight, we will drop down to 43 degrees for the overnight low. change it up tonight. we have clouds rolling in tomorrow but tonight we are fine. crystal clear. i don't see a single cloud in the sky where we are. that will change tomorrow. tomorrow we will have clouds on the increase. more clouds than today certainly with a chance for a few pop-up showers. most of that should be north. we can't rule it out. 20-30% chance of a stray shower or two as we get in the afternoon. we dry things out. if you want to check out the mobile wheel of fortune in the district, a good day to do

the next chance of showers, setting our clocks back as well. that trend will go next week. we will march the trail at 4:45. all is welcome. a very halloween-friendly neighborhood i'm told. live in arlington. send it back to you. jonathan: thank you, buddy. we are getting back now the breaking news out of new york. a truck driving down a crowded path after some kind of road rage incident. michelle: we are learning the tragedy much worse than initially thought. the new numbers just coming in to our newsroom. according to cnn, six are dead and 15 injured. we want to caution you that in breaking news situations like this, you have numbers that will fl

cnn, six dead and 15 injured in what is being described as a road rage incident. we understand that a pickup truck, the type of vehicle you rent from home depot location is what was used to mow into a crowd of people. i started off -- there is the truck. you see the home depot logo. a pickup truck the person was in when they nowed down. several people on nearby bike path. you can see the bicycle. one of the victims on that bike when he was nowed down. learning six dead, 15 injured in an apparent road rage incident. right now nypd saying they have one person in custody and they are not looking for anyone else. in the last few minutes we also learned that nypd uncovered several guns. but they say the

fake. so unclear what the motive was, if it's truly road rage incident or if there are more layers to the story. all questions i'm certain investigators will be raising. we understand the f.b.i. now on the ground. part of the investigation. they want to know who is the driver and who is the other person the got in a verbal argument with the driver before it led to this. this is new york city, rush hour. on lockdown. halted traffic on the lower east side. definitely not moving. this is a time when many people would be on the streets making their way home, to dinner. busy area in the trifecta neighborhood. everything frozen at this opponent as you look at the aerial view. a lot of questions remain. eunderstand the mayor, mayor bill de blasio has been briefed on the situation. as soon as w

le pass it along. according to cnn six now dead and 15 injured. when we get new information you will hear it here first. jonathan: it doesn't make sense. when we report on the road rage, we report plenty of that. it's usually two drivers taking frustration and anger out on one another. rarely, i don't think we reported on a driver that loses such control they go to a bike path or element or area of new york where people are on the bicycles and plows them down. that is where we understand that people have been killed. something about the story that doesn't make sense. nancy: with this many casualties. there are many moving parts and unanswered questions. we'll have more throughout the everything. jonathan: live pictures we are showing are the roads in and around the lower manhattan. downtown area that are now all completely clos

they have to talk to all the people who witnessed the first interaction between the drivers. if that is what happened. breaking news story so details could change, the numbers could change. this is the situation that is playing out right now. just near freedom tower in downtown manhattan. nancy: still at "abc7 news at 4:00" -- hospitals can be a scary place but trick-or-treating brought to younger patients there. we take you to children's national for the halloween party. sam: i'm sam ford. we are with one of five companies with bikes on the streets. it's raising questions, even

>> announcer: this is a breaking news alert. michelle: we want to update you on breaking news from the lower manhattan west side highway in new york. the death toll now up to six according to cnn. we are hearing reports of at least 15 injured. in what is described as an apparent road rage incident. but to be honest a lot of the details at this point simply don't add up. a lot of questions remain about how this road rage incident would then turn into one of the drivers mowing down

described as a bike path. that is where most of the injuries came from. police have one person in custody. they are no longer looking for anyone else. a witness says he saw a man drive his pickup truck. that is the pickup truck. he drove the pickup truck down the bike lane on the west side highway. several people on bicycles. it's a beautiful day in new york city. so many people taking advantage of that bike path. that is when the truck then crashes into the people and we are hearing it crashed into a school bus. no information about the victims at this time in terms of the age range. police as we mentioned have one person in custody. they say there are no outstanding suspects. we also understand that this person had useable

it's not clear what the motive is. back to you, nancy. nancy: thank you. meantime in d.c. you have seen the dockless bikes around the city and you have seen them abandoned in random spots. so is anything being done to stop this from happening? d.c. bureau chief sam ford live with more on this. sam? sam: it's a month that the city allowed a number of companies to come in to d.c. with the dockless bikes. after a month, here is the situation. company with names like line bikes, more bikes. they often say the first ride is free. you can download an app or put in a debit or a credit card but we notice of late a number of them have been trashed. there is one from the past few weeks the front meal is missing. that is in northeast washington. we see others on the sidewalk

along with the others on the side of the road. the washington area bicycle association are watching the companies to see how responsible they are in handling the matters. the city allowed each company to add bikes, 400 bikes that are popular with the young riders. they are supposed to check them out for $1 an hour or half an hour. >> mostly people are behaving themselves. >> i've had it for a month. >> you have had the same bike for a month? >> yeah. >> how does it work? >> it's only $14. >> well, we checked with the line bikes which owns that particular bicycle to ask them if indeed they rent for $14 a

company has responded to us. now we are in front of 101 constitution, where the d.c. bureau is located. i spoke to the manager of the building who call these bikes legalized litter. he says every morning they are strewn about the front of the building, blocking the entrance. he wants them out and he would like to complain to the city. so this is his opportunity as i tell you what he said, though he doesn't want to go on television. he says a number of people are irritated by the bikes. particularly when they are left on private property. we'll have more at "abc7 news at 6:00". sam ford, abc7 news. >> coming to the hospital can be scary but on this halloween, children at children nationals are having fun and face painting pumpkins. coming up, we show you how the staff is getting their minds off of medicine. jonathan: also update you o

michelle: all right. this is a fast moving story. we are just getting word from our affiliate in new york city wabc, saying officials are now treating what was first being reported as a road rage incident as an act of terror. that is a big headline just coming in. again, an act of terror. that is what this is now classified. no longer being looked at as simply a road rage incident. let's walk you through what has unfolded in the last hour. we are looking at pictures. video we just turned around for you of an active situation on the ground in manhattan's lower west side. you are seeing a bike path. several people were nowed down within the hour. the latest numbers from cnn are that six people are confirmed dead. at least 15 are injured. we are standing by for a news conference thosed to happen in the next 20 minutes. that is a vehicle that home depot pickup truck you

there, that is the one that mowed into a crowded bic path injuring so many. komen is on the way down there -- we are hearing governor cuomo on the scene, his way to the scene. and this is appearing to be more than road rage incident. this is a very chaotic scene. they saw what appeared to be an argument between the drivers but then we understand that the driver of the pickup truck got in the vehicle. started yelling and screaming and he mowed down people on the bike p

guns were found but imitation guns. they were fake guns. so what was his thinking? what husband his motive? this is something that the nypd is trying to figure out. we are now reporting that the death toll is up to seven. one more person is now confirmed dead. we have breaking news situations like this the numbers fluctuate often. we will continue to keep an eye on the situation. we have a crew on the way to new york city. as saarn as we giddy tail -- as soon as we get details, most coming out of the 5:15 news conference, we will pass it along to you. another note to pass along. nypd saying they have a suspect in custody. that is the only suspect they are looking for. there are no outstanding

suspects. thousand classifying this as an act of terror, they will want to know if there were other acquaintances and anyone else in the conversation with the driver before events unfolded today. no doubt a scary day on halloween. so many people on the streets there of new york city. rush hour. typically a busy time. for an ugly scene to play out. you feel for all of them. jonathan: now they will compare it to other incidentss where vehicles were used as weapons. nice comes to mind off the top. fake guns. why would somebody do that? in the other incident we saw he had fake bombs in his vehicle. it's a moment to give him space or time with law enforcement. when you pull out a fake gun, moment of pause for whatever they need, try to get away or what? this situation they will break

associates, people he talked to. was he radicalized or a lone wolf? a lot to dive deep on. michelle: you look at the vehicle and this is a rental. what were his intentions with the rental, home depot pickup truck? doing home improvement project? is this part of a larger plan? jonathan: clearly looks like it was premeditated if you rent a truck and put fake guns in there and no compunction to drive up on a bike path on halloween where you know traffic is high in lower manhattan anyway and now it will be even higher on halloween. >> especially the details coming out and alarming about the suspect that is exiting the pickup truck rented from home depot displaying imitation firearms and shot then by the new york city police department. that gives you pause. michelle: ts

from the world trade center site. so folks in the area are already on high alert because of the history of 9/11. that is where your mind goes back to. for this to happen, we have the finest law enforcement there. nypd will get to the bottom of this. but a lot of question about what unfolded there. we'll be right back.
