apartment buildings. tornadic activity, tornadoes, will create the same level of wind. but it will be the same level, thrown in the pattern of the spin of the tornado. that is what we're looking at. we know, however, that the national weather service has followed a path of destruction and damage from morgan state university, all the way to carne. and also, what we're awaiting is the official word. we're expecting that at any hour, vic. that could come any minute now. check in for complete coverage of first warning weather. for updates on the forecast and live doppler radar any time, log onto wjz.com. an entire baltimore county neighborhood, locked down after a suspect barricades himself inside his randallstown home, after shooting his wife. wjz is live. suzanne collins tells us exactly what happened. suzanne? >> and denise, after the shooting, it was a dramatic moment when the couple's 8-year- old son had to run out of the house to safety, and into the arms of police. and then there was concern that shots could be fired in that neighborhood.

manager in baltimore, where charlie and five other pit bulls were taken late wednesday night. a police report revealed, investigators found the animals in a vacant row home on the 1600 block of payson avenue. >> that's gruesome. that's really horrible that people would stoop to that level. >> reporter: police say feces and urine were scattered throughout the house. they found the dogs in crates or tied up without food or water. most of them were covered in scars. and a 7th dog was found dead inside a garbage bag. its body badly abused. >> the officer who responded to the scene wrote in the report, he believes the dog fighting in the room happened inside the third floor. inside, he found a large amount of blood on the walls, the blood and -- the bed and the floor. >> you could hear them barking. and there was a bad odor coming from that house. >> we're hoping in cases like this that they bring charges and they show that this is wrong and the people are prosecuted to the fullest

briefly for five minutes. the statement said that this was, in fact, an enhanced fujita scale, f1 tornado. the way enhanced fujitas are, 86-mile-per-hour winds, to roughly 109-mile-per-hour. one really triggers damaging winds up to the moderate scale, which is exactly what you saw. trees knocked down. rooftops blown over. cars moved slightly across parking lots. and that was also embedded. and this was embedded in a line of straight line winds. again, winds that were splintered off from a strong tornado, thunderstorm. tornado spawned from that thunderstorm. straight-line winds came out of that thunderstorm. so very strong thunderstorms moved across, generated winds and a tornado that touched down for just about five minutes out of that storm. and again, that was in the range from just about morgan state university to the western edge of morgan state university, to approximately 5 miles northeast of the gun powder state park, which is up

around the carne region. again, everything that you've seen, the combination of two different portions of a thunderstorm. straight-line winds and an ef-1 tornado. vic, back to you. one of the key figures in a massive ongoing federal investigation could have new problems on our hands tonight. kai is live in the newsroom with the latest on this high- profile case. leslie johnson and her husband, prince george's county executive jack johnson have been indicted for destroying evidence and lying to investigators. here you see investigators leaving their homes with boxes of evidence. now, prince george's county residents have started a petition to prevent leslie johnson who was elected to county council this month from taking office. state election officials say there is no law to prevent leslie johnson from being sworn in in january. vic? also, tonight, the head of maryland's republican party is calling for leslie johnson to resign. just hours ago, 50 people treated at st. joseph's medical center, filed new lawsuits,

gitting government money for procedures involving stents placed by dr. meday. >> i have had top institutions, including yale, review their angiogram films and determine independent of each other that they received a stent they didn't need. >> reporter: dr. medei has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, including a press conference last month. >> and i'm confident in everything that i've done, every decision i've made. >> reporter: initial concern arose, when more than 500 patients got letters from the hospital, saying they may not have needed stents. among them, susan carary, from parksville. >> it just doesn't seem right. doesn't seem right. >> reporter: the hospital issued a statement in response to these lawsuits. saying talks are ongoing. and sjmc has invited all attorneys to submit supporting it medical information so each claim can be properly and
