alive has died. as her grandfather speaks on losing his family, he and thousands of others are trying to figure out what comes next. good evening. i'm wendy rieger. it is the end of an emotional weekend for families across at least a dozen states. after two rounds of deadly weather ripped across tornado alley. but it's also just the beginning as they try to pick up these scattered pieces of their lives. jay gray has our report from henryville, indiana. >> reporter: there is an eerie silence that hangs over the emptiness here. a quiet that comes with nightfall. after a day filled with the sounds of survival. the whine of chainsaws, the rumble of frontloaders and backthose and the steady rhythm of so many sifting through the rubble by hand. >> people from everywhere are coming to help. >> reporter: searching for anything that may be left from lives shattered by the storm. >> everybody does a little bit, it'll get much better faster.

>> reporter: for more than three dozen families, though, it can't get better. their loved ones aren't ever coming back. a group that now includes little 15-month-old angel babcock. first responders found the toddler fighting for her life in this field. her mom, dad, and two brothers already dead. today angel passed away, after being pulled from life support. her grandfather shared his emotions just before he made the agonizing decision. >> my pastor's going to go in with me, and we're going to pray over -- we're going to pray there, and i'm going to tell that little girl that -- i'm going to tell her that it's time for her to meet her mommy and daddy. >> reporter: it's the kind of heartache so many must work through now as they prepare for anything but a normal monday here. the message seems a bit obvious. most of henryville high school has been wiped away. but then there are signs across tornado alley of just how difficult it's going to be to

survive. jay gray, nbc news, henryville, indiana. >> the cleanup is also getting more difficult for some parts of the south and the midwest now getting snow on top of it all. chuck bell is in storm center 4 with a look at that as well as the cold weather that we now have out there tonight. chuck. >> hey, windy, yes indeed, the cold weather has spent all day tay settling on in ahead of a little alberta clipper coming in here. you can see in fact that there are now snowflakes falling now right across the kentucky-indiana border where the largest loss of life occurred friday afternoon in that tornado outbreak. so insult to injury for those folks out across parts of the ohio valley. that alberta clipper is racing in our direction. winter weather advisories have been posted across much of southwestern and south central virginia for the day tomorrow. we'll be keeping a close eye on that. here are chuck's chances. at least a 70% chance of an inch of snow somewhere north of richmond. about a 40% chance of snowflakes reaching at least the southern end of the capitol beltway, though i don't think we'll have any accumulations around town. best chances to see the flakes,

about 8:00 in the morning to 2:00 in the afternoon. more of the details of that forecast and a look on down into the week ahead coming up in just a couple minutes. wendy? >> all right. thanks, chuck. well, what started as a routine traffic stop this afternoon in prince george's county ended with a chaotic multicar wreck in southeast d.c. this crash also involved a metro bus, and it sent several people to the hospital including children and a police officer. darcy spencer has more on all that and on the person who was arrested in all of this. >> reporter: it was a violent crash involving several cars and a metro bus in the middle of a busy intersection in southeast d.c. at least six people were sent to the hospital. it was a wild ride for passengers on that bus. >> you seem pretty shaken up. >> i'm very shaken up. >> were you trying to get somewhere today? >> to work. >> reporter: it started with a traffic stop in prince george's county. police there say the driver took off, then crashed here at pennsylvania and southern avenues on the d.c. county border. prince george's police say they did not pursue the car.

>> i heard a lot of boom, boom. i look up, all this has happened. but the bus driver did a good job maneuvering over it. so we were pretty safe. >> reporter: at least one passenger on the metro bus had to be taken to the hospital. three children were injured in the crash. a responding st. george's police officer was injured when a driver did a uturn in front of them. the smashed cruiser with at least two floot tires was towed away. >> there were some respoofficer responding to assist their fellow officers. and i believe that was separate from this incident itself. >> reporter: passengers on the metro bus say it was struck on the side by one of the cars, breaking out glass. they say the driver forced the bus into this grassy area, avoiding a more serious collision. >> it could have been a lot worse than it is. it seems like it's a very bad accident but it could have been a lot worse. >> reporter: the driver's been identified as 23-year-old rodney miller of southwest d.c. he's been charged with being a fugitive from justice, fleeing authorities, leaving the scene

of a crash, and driving on a suspended license. police searched his car and recovered a number of items, including cash. that injured prince george's county police officer was treated and released from the hospital. this investigation is continuing. in southeast washington darcy spencer, news 4. a campaign volunteer for ward 7 council candidate kevin b. chafis is arrested for a fatal stabbing in the southeast. it happened just after 10:00 in the 3600 block of highwood drive. police say 37-year-old robert leroy wright was found with stab wounds. he was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. less than an hour later, 56-year-old ellsworth colbert, who volunteers for the chavous campaign, was arrested and charged with murder. chavous said in a statement, "i hope 9 allegations of mr. colbert's involvement in this killing are false but if they are true he needs to face whatever justice is handed down by the core." in decision 2012 we are just

republican candidates that virginia voters will be picking because the other candidates did not gather enough signatures to make it onto that ballot. today marked the 47th anniversary of the 1965 selma to montgomery voting rights march, often referred to as blood sunday. about 3,000 participants led by reverend al sharpton and reverend jesse jackson -- bloody sunday, rather-s what it's called. kicked off a five-day march today in alabama. the original march on behalf of minority voting rights began on march 7th, 1965. president obama spent the morning telling pro-israel activists that the united states supports israel and will do anything necessary to stop iran from getting nuclear weapons. the commander in chief spoke to the more than 13,000 people gathered for the annual policy conference for the american israel public affairs committee. during his remarks he appealed for israel to be patient with iran and to let sanctions have some time to work. but he also reiterated that if needed the united states is prepared to use force.

>> i will not hesitate to use force when it is necessary to defend the united states and its interests. moving forward, i would ask that we all remember the weightiness of these issues, the stakes involved for israel, for america, and for the world. vladimir putin will return to the kremlin to be the president of russia for the next six years. putin scored a decisive but controversial win today in the russian election. he called it a victory over opponents who were intent on "destroying russia's statehood." while the win was never in doubt, many suspect that there was widespread ballot tampering. opposition protests are expected tomorrow night in moscow. at least 146 people are dead, hundreds still unaccounted for, after a weapons depot exploded today in the republic of congo. reports say hundreds could still be trapped inside buildings that collapsed. there are also countless people injured. the cause of that explosion

too soon. while they were only doing what they should be, going to school. >> we just had a shooting at our school. >> a safe haven. you know, you would never get a phone call like i did, you know, saying that something happened at school. your son's been shot. that's a phone call that no parent want. >> reporter: 16-year-old demetrius hewlin was among the three students who died last week at chardon high school in ohio. 17-year-old t.j. lane is charged with murder and assault. investigators believe the shootings were random. demetrius and other students were seated at a table in the school cafeteria. >> he was, you know, with his -- his buddies and, you know, sitting down, talking. having just a leisure conversation. and next thing you know -- >> reporter: while divorce had separated father and son, the distance was just geographical.

they still talked regularly. about school, about his growing interests in computers and athletics. and it was nothing for timothy to surprise his son by showing up on a birthday. but the last time he made that trip to ohio it was with much more urgency and no celebration awaited his arrival. >> and you get there and you see -- you know your son all happy and everything. and you get to see him this way, motionless, brain dead. that's not what i wanted to see. >> reporter: but there are the memories from birth to the first swim lesson, the trips, the times together that he now holds on to, those happier times of childhood. and there's the message buried amid the grief, how time together is not guaranteed. every shared moment precious. >> tell your child you love them because you never know, and i mean this, you never know when the last time you'll be able to

see that child again. >> reporter: demetrius hewlin would have turned 17 on thursday. derek ward, news 4. >> and demetrius hewlin's funeral is scheduled for later this week in ohio, where he will be buried. a bethesda woman is looking for the owner of a little dog. the dog was found running around in traffic on the beltway. cheryl layhey says her electrician picked up this fox terrier during a rainstorm on friday. he told her the dog had been running around the old georgetown exit on the beltway and he asked if she could be taken to the pound. she was afraid he'd be put down if she took him there. the family's been watching out for the little guy and despite flyers and posts on the local list-serves, no one's come forward to claim him. >> just a sweet dog. i don't think he's -- i think somebody's missing him. >> did he have tags when he was found? >> no. he had no collar. he had no tags. but his teeth are clean. his nails are clipped. he was well groomed. and he wasn't hungry. so i don't think he was gone

long. >> reporter: lahey says they've been calling the dog rex. ffrnlths it feels you've been forking over more cash every time you go to fill up your car it's because you are. gas prices are up 14% since the beginning of the year. 14%. the national average climbed to $3.74 a gallon. that's up nine cents from just last week. we're up 31 cents from just last year. high crude oil prices and concerns about the situation in syria and iran are partially to blame for this price spike. aaa says we can also blame the shutdown of oil refineries. >> just this time last year we've seen six refineries shut down on the east coast. two in the last month or so. and that has taken almost 1 billion barrels of oil out of circulation a day. >> experts believe we could see prices as high as $4.25 a gallon just by late april. take a look at this. an amateur photographer caught what many believe is a meteor on camera.

police in the uk got a lot of calls about a bright light streaking across the sky last night. phil haslett used special motion detection software to take these pictures. some believe the streak was a burning airplane. that's always positive. but british police quickly tweeted out a message telling the public not to worry. it looks like it was just a heavenly body going across the sky. you're going to be surpriseed if you go out tonight because it is quite cold. >> old man winter sneaking a little sneak attack here into the month of march. very, very chilly air outside tonight. and the cold air's going to be sticking around all the way through at least the front half of the work and school week. so a cold start to the week for a real change. most of our winter wasn't all that chilly. but it will feel a lot more like winter time tomorrow morning. outside we have a partly to mostly cloudy sky over washington right now. clouds are going to be on the increase tonight. and we do still have a chance anyway of seeing some snowflakes here in town during the day tomorrow not expecting much of an accumulation. but anytime we can mention a snowflake chance here we've got to take it. 38 degrees right now here in

washington. winds have eased up a bit now. out of the west at only 8 miles per hour. below freezing now across the panhandle of west virginia, northern parts of maryland, 34 now montgomery county, 32 manassas, 35 in falls church, 37 waldorf and la plata. factor in what little breeze we have left, and wind chills are in the mid to upper 20s for most of the western and northern suburbs. so a bundle up factor for sure first thing tomorrow morning. no advisories posted around our immediate area, but look at the big spread of winter weather advisories now that go from witch mond, virginia all along the virginia-north carolina border all over parts of southern west virginia. storm 4 radar is clear around our radar for now. but there are snow showers across southern pennsylvania. those are aiming into northern maryland over the next hour here. but the main system that we're watching is this area of low pressure. our little alberta cutter we've been following literally for the last seven days on the forecast. and here's the way we go. 9:00 tomorrow morning it's going to be going right along the virginia-north carolina border. so a chilly start. there's our little clipper system by 1:00 tomorrow afternoon throwing just enough moisture up into the washington

area where we might see some snowflakes before everything starts to pull on out. the storm is going to be staying just a little too far south to get any accumulating snow here into the washington area. then a cold night monday night and sunshine and the warm-up begins by tuesday. on our microcast model here there you can see by noon tomorrow that little throw of snow chances, not a lot of accumulations but a little chance here late morning into early afternoon and then everything is over by 2:00, 3:00, 4:00 in the afternoon and skies will clear out quick after that. so overnight cloudy and cold, passing snowflakes mainly west of i-95. then the chance for us seeing real snowflakes flying tomorrow. late morning into about lunchtime. highs tomorrow on the chilly side for sure. average high now is at 52. so tomorrow and tuesday well below average. but the south winds return tuesday night into wednesday. so wednesday into the 60s. thursday and friday upper 60s to near 70 again. >> oh, good. because this is a shock to the system. so it is nice. >> a little reality check. >> thanks, chuck. coming up, whitney houston's daughter is set to speak
