>> reporter: in an interview with the orlando fox affiliate zimmerman's father said martin threatened his son who acted in self-defense. >> trayvon martin said something to the effect of your' going to die now or you're going to die tonight. >> reporter: now police, the justice department, fbi, and angela cory, a new prosecutor appointed by the governor, are all trying to piece together why martin died and if it was a crime. cory could make the decision to file charges on her own or turn over evidence to a grand jury that is scheduled to meet the second week in april. jay gray, nbc news. >> the trayvon martin case continues to motivate protesters in our region to take action. today one local group claims the trayvon martin case glorifies what they call a kill at will law. we'll have a report on that coming up in our second half hour. we're following some developing news in the child sex abuse trial of former penn state assistant football coach jerry sandusky. the judge has pushed the trial back by three weeks because of

these subsidies are unnecessary and ineffective and immoral. >> reporter: but they're irrelevant, said republicans, to our pain at the pump. >> facts are stubborn things and supply and demand is what dictates price. we should be robustly exploring the natural resources of the domestic united states of america for less dependence on foreign oil and more dependence on our own oil. >> reporter: another fact is many oil state democrats support subsidies. >> the motion is not agreed to. >> reporter: the obama plan lost 51-47 as experts warned gas prices will go higher. >> unfortunately for consumers and i think we're all of the same mind here there is little that can be done in the near term. >> reporter: two-thirds of americans disapprove of how barack obama is handling rising fuel prices in tuesday's reuters poll. aides say the president will keep pushing to do away with taxpayer subsidies of big oil. jim, back to you. >> steve handelsman, thanks.

d.c. police have speed cameras keeping an eye on you but who is watching the police when it comes to regulating that speed camera program? each speed camera ticket cost at least $125 bucks and in a news 4 exclusive tracee wilkins uncovers why the district changed the way it was operating some of the cameras. >> reporter: speed cameras like this one are called across the road or atr radar. it means it's an unmanned speed camera. and because there is no officer standing by to validate an infraction there are other things in place like white lines on the road. these white lines mark distances beyond the speed camera and in photos they show the progression of the vehicle in question and are secondary confirmation that the vehicle was actually speeding. while these lines are here now, they weren't for sometime. nearly 100,000 tickets were issued without them. tickets that the district has not excused.

news 4 has obtained internal d.c. police e-mails. one entitled re-evaluation of psu deployment. that stands for portable speed unit. it confirms that after several new speed cameras started issuing tickets in october and november of 2011 d.c. police shut down the sites that were issuing tickets and a decision was made to strike the locations after the fact. according to another e-mail for several days in late november and early december cameras were temporarily turned off at six different locations from southeast to northwest. it's not clear why d.c. added the stripes after the fact. but when we spoke with montgomery county police they said they don't operate their speed cameras without the stripes because it's the law in maryland. and it also adds credibility to their program. >> make sure the citizens that get the citation understand the reasoning why we feel that the case is compelling that they've done that speed. it shows clearly that the photographic evidence coupled with the electronic evidence of

the speed measurement device. >> reporter: the national highway traffic safety administration released a report recommending how to properly operate unmanned speed cameras. in it, they stated their nee d to be a delayed image showing the vehicle crossing a specified line. in a statement to news 4 they said it goes to the core concern of fairness and accuracy. d.c. police refused our request for an on camera interview but released a statement saying in part district regulations do not require roadway striping for speed enforcement. tickets issued by the portable speed enforcement units prior to, during, and after the striping effort are all valid tickets and should be treated as such by the recipients. have you ever gotten one of these tickets? >> yes. a couple of them. >> reporter: we asked d.c. drivers what they thought. >> they're saying the white line wasn't there. now they should refund the people that have paid. >> i guess they should maybe do something like their amnesty program and at least reduce it

to little or nothing. maybe $10 or something like that. >> reporter: tracee wilkins, news 4. >> because d.c. has not adopted the manufacturers' regulations for things like the white stripes the city has a lot of flexibility when it comes to enforcement. in maryland the manufacturers' rules for the speed camera operations, that is now state law. cell phone video has captured a family's frightening escape from a massive wildfire outside denver, colorado. as the fire got closer to their home, this happened on monday, the family quickly piled into two cars and took off. they soon found themselves riding through a tunnel of smoke and flames. after driving for a half mile the family made it out safely. 13-year-old caleb shot the video. at one point you can hear him tell his younger sister everything is going to be okay. >> daddy? >> you'll be fine. >> i didn't know if i was going to live and i was thinking about all the possibilities of how

things could have gone wrong. i just knew chaos wouldn't really solve anything so i tried to stay calm. >> here it is right here. >> my gosh. >> okay. we're out. >> reporter: firefighters are still working to contain that blaze. 27 homes have been damaged or destroyed so far. at least two people have died. the fire was started by what they call a controlled burn last week. that burn was meant to prevent such fires as that. >> what's even worse is the two people that died were their neighbors who didn't get out in time because they weren't warned in time. so you just, wow. just shows you how swiftly that moves. >> a lot of times they do the controlled burns and they don't realize, they don't forecast the winds correctly so the winds kick up and that is what happens and starts the fires. that is apparently what happened in this one too. >> here we have it a little cooler today. >> a little cooler. some areas in the upper 50s most of us the low to mid 60s while some of you down south hit 70 degrees today. another nice day all across the area. we saw plenty of sunshine and

really a beautiful afternoon although it was a little bit on the windy side. those winds really helping to kick up the pollen across the region. the high temperature today at the airport officially 70 degrees. but you say, well, it didn't feel like 70 today. that's because that occurred at 12:52 this morning right after midnight. a beautiful night last night. it was simply gorgeous all evening long. that's why we saw the temperature of 70 a little bit earlier this morning dropping down to 56 and then back up to 63 a little bit earlier this afternoon. sneezing season? for sure. we are in the midst of some very high pollen out there right now and it is going to stay high over the next couple days. today we're going to go down a little bit but still medium to high on saturday with some shower activity and then back to the high range on sunday. pollen levels the highest they've been in 13 years here in the month of march. that is a lot of pollen outside and a lot of people suffering from that. 21 right now in leesburg. the current wind gust there. 21 in washington. 16 in fredericksburg.

winds have been gusting upwards of 20 to 25 miles per hour and that's helped to get that pollen into the atmosphere so we need those winds to calm down and they'll do so overnight tonight. right now 61 degrees. a very pleasant evening. a little bit on the breezy side with the winds out of the north about 13 miles an hour with the gusts over 20 but we'll see those winds calm down and our temperatures are going to go down, too. 55 in hagerstown. right now 59 in martinsburg. look at the warmer air. 68 in fredericksburg and 72 in charlottesville after a high near 75 degrees for them. overnight tonight, it's going to cool down in a big way especially to the north and west. frost advisories here including frederick county, maryland and then back to the west. if you're in or around i-81, you are under a frost advisory through the morning hours. a freeze warning in effect farther to the west. but this is going to be a potential problem. you may want to cover up your plants if you live in this area. cover the plants up and just make sure you know it's going to be that chilly when you wake up tomorrow morning. even around the district a cold one but i don't think we'll get

quite cold enough for frost around the d.c. metro region. satellite and radar showing clear skies will help us cool down tonight and then we'll start to see our chances for rain and clouds on the increase during the day tomorrow. we'll see mostly cloudy skies tomorrow. the latest computer model here showing a little bit of rain around 5:00, 6:00. still unsure. i don't think it's going to happen. i think the rain will hold off until later in the evening so tomorrow should be a dry day but then here comes a warm front. that will bring in rain overnight tomorrow night. in through the day on saturday. saturday will not be a washout. we will just see some light showers. maybe 0.1 inch. maybe up to 0.2 inch. that's as much rain as i think we're going to see. we do need to see some of that rain to suppress the pollen but we also need it because we're very dry. 3 inches below average. not going to see a whole lot of rain though out of the next system. then on sunday a pretty nice day but i still think we'll be in the clouds so at least partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies during the day on sunday. temperatures though will be on the rebound after a cool saturday. this evening clear skies. a chilly evening. cooling quickly.

down to about 49 to 54 degrees. this is coming in about 8:00, 9:00 tonight. then tomorrow morning, a very cold start. possible frost in some areas down to about 32 in some of the suburbs to about 42 right in the city and that is our average low temperature for this time of the year. that is about where we should be. tomorrow sunshine early. increasing clouds. still nice. 61 to 65 degrees. here's the next couple days showing you the weekend. kind of a half and half weekend. saturday rather cool with a few showers but not a horrible day. sunday looking bitt ining bette looks like a good week monday, tuesday, and wednesday. temperatures above average throughout the period. >> nice. still ahead there is some light at the end of the tunnel for the hot lanes project in virginia. we have a new detailed look at what drivers can expect. a powerful movie about bullying is about to hit theaters and now some kids are revealing the truth about what's happening at local schools. if half a billion dollars wasn't enough to get you out to buy a megamillions lottery buy a megamillions lottery ticket, there are 40 million

a teenage prostitution operation has been uncovered in fairfax county. police say the alleged gang members picked up underage girls at metro stops on school property, even on facebook. those girls were then forced to

go door to door looking for men wanting to have sex. if they tried to quit the girls were threatened and physically assaulted. medical marijuana is close to becoming a reality in the district. that is why a new store called we grow is about to open for business in northeast. it will provide everything you need to grow medical marijuana. the d.c. department of health says it will announce tomorrow which companies will receive licenses to actually grow the plant. >> the senate voted today to allow big oil companies to keep their tax breaks. president obama's bill failed mostly along party lines. republicans say stopping subsidies would not bring down gas prices. democrats argued that oil company ceos are making tens of millions of dollars with taxpayers' help. >> new video of george zimmerman. in the hours after he shot trayvon martin is sparking more outrage over the death of that unarmed black teenager. >> here in the district some people say it's going to take more than just an arrest for justice to be served.

derrick ward has our report. >> reporter: george zimmerman, seen here in the custody of sanford, florida police after his deadly encounter with trayvon martin. martin's family attorney says the footage though brief and silent speaks volumes. >> there is no blood on his clothes. >> reporter: he is referring to accounts in a police report that said zimmerman had injuries from being attacked by trayvon martin. zimmerman says he shot the teen in self-defense. >> there absolutely was some misleading the public when they said his nose was broken and there was blood on the back of his head. >> reporter: the quality of this surveillance video may not have the detail to show any injuries. it essentially answers some questions and cloaks others. >> we are here to if you will pull the curtain back. >> reporter: mark morial president of the national urban league is talking about the origin of the stand your ground laws a possible defense for zimmerman. >> we call them kill at will. >> reporter: from elementary scho schools on we are taught law comes from capitol hill but

organizers of this organization say laws like the stand your ground law have more nefarious origins. >> like the american legislative exchange council a bipartisan group of state legislators and leaders from the private sector promoting certain policies like limited government. protesters say the council is responsible for stand your ground laws. >> they encourage people to utilize old style vigilante justice. we don't need that in the 21st century. >> reporter: the american legislative exchange council says it's promoted policies based on the florida law but did not draft that law. they also question whether it applies here. protesters say they want to see that law on trial as much as they do george zimmerman. the fbi is among the agencies investigating this case. the case is expected to go before a grand jury on april 10th. a powerful new documentary is taking a hard look at the problem of bullying in schools. >> some kids told him he was worthless, to go hang himself. i think goat to the point where enough was enough.

>> reporter: the documentary is called simply "bully" and comes out tomorrow without a rating. "bully" follows five kids over the course of the '09-2010 school year and looks at how bullying has affected them and their families. right here in fairfax county school officials have been monitoring bullying and cyber bullying in their system. the 56% of students reported being bullied this past year. school officials say bullying is more common in middle school. it was the highest among eighth graders. 49% said they had bullied, taunted, or teased someone else over the past year. the prince william county school board approved an 861 million dollar budget last night. the budget provides a pay hike for teachers. that step increase is set to, at an average of 2.8%. school board officials say they'll try to avoid any layoffs as they have to cut an extra $5 million from that budget for those raises. by the end of this year drivers in virginia will be able to save time and money when the new beltway express lanes are

device called e-z pass flex will be created for car poolers with three or more passengers who want to use those lanes for free. >> if you declare you're hov you must have three people in the car and there will be no toll assessed. if for some reason you don't have three people in the car one day you switch to toll mode and pay the normal toll. >> reporter: there will be no toll gates. these structures called gantry stations will track each vehicle transponder to assess tolls along the way. planners expect the average user to travel just three to four miles. even that will be pricey during rush hour. >> the models show an average of a three and a half mile trip on and off and that trip will be the neighborhood of $5 to $6. >> some commuters say it is not worth it to them. >> i am against it that they're not going to have a set rate for the toll. so it seems almost like a perk just for the rich. >> reporter: but this realtor reasons time is money. >> $5 is what the toll costs and wanted to get to four listings instead of three because of the traffic i'd gladly do it.

>> they're big. the cats can't even catch them. >> the d.c. rodent control office says they are responding to dozens of calls every month but people should do their part by keeping food out of reach. >> you think you've seen a big snake? check this guy out. it is a prehistoric snake. the length of a school bus. they called this thing tetenobua. the museum of natural history is opening an exhibit featuring a life sized rem calf the prehistoric creature tomorrow. a fossil of the world's largest snake was found several years ago in a coal mine in colombia. when it was alive this snake weighed 2500 pounds. it was 48 feet long. >> it was to squeeze you, it would have the equal force to one and a half times of the weight of the brooklyn bridge on your chest.

this is one big monster. >> bad dude. the exhibit will be on display through next january. >> he is snacking on an alligator which is kind of cruel in its own gross way. >> so, dan, what are we looking at today? >> hoping the capitals can edge their way back into the playoffs. donovan mcnabb gives his take on whether rg iii can succeed playing for mike shanahan. and after falling short in their last game it is do or die for these guys as they get ready to take on the bruins. also coming up right after sports a band proves you don't need traditional instruments to

and hello everybody. i'm meteorologist doug kammerer. a nice evening out there. a little bit on the breezy side. winds right now gusting about 21 miles an hour out of the north right now. there is still plenty of sunshine out there so we'll be fairly nice. once the sun starts to go down temperatures will cool off fairly quickly and those winds will start to die down. already down to 55 in gaithersburg. a little bit on the cool side if you're thinking about eating dinner outdoors tonight make sure you have the jacket. 64 in fort bell var. reston and herndon the temperature at 58 degrees. a little storm system here, a

big storm system down to the south. this one will stay to our south but this one is going to come in during the day tomorrow. i think we'll see some clouds from it. i don't think we'll see much in the way of rain but i am anticipating more in the way of cloud cover than i was thinking during the day yesterday. 31 in hagerstown overnight. 36 in culpepper. if you're to the west of 81 or along 81 you are under a frost advisory during the night tonight. this does not include the d.c. metro area and does not include southern maryland but we could see some frost in parts of the region. tomorrow's highs 63 in washington. 64 in culpepper. right now 66 degrees down toward charlottesville. i do think tomorrow should be a pretty nice day but there will be rain on the way. we'll update you on when once again in a couple minutes. >> thanks, doug. so mcnabb and the shanahans did not part on the very best of terms and now it's what? what do you call it? >> sounds a little bit like sour grapes but also like a guy who is trying to make a little bit of a splash and perhaps is starting a new career.

donovan mcnabb's nfl career as a quarterback could be over. his next career as an nfl analyst on tv already under way. and today mcnabb took a couple big swings at mike and kyle shanahan. on espn this morning mcnabb said he thinks the shanahans' egos are too big to tailor their offense to robert griffin iii. mcnabb also said the season could be the shanahans' last in washington if rg iii doesn't make a camp newton type splash. mcnabb's career started a downward spiral when the eagles traded him to washington two years ago. he was benched during the season and never played like the mcnabb we saw in philly. mcnabb and the shanahans never hit it off. it was a bad fit from the beginning. however, mike shanahan said recently he is more than willing to tailor his offense to suit his new franchise quarterback just as he's done in the past. >> you always adjust your offense to your players. you always do that. if you don't, usually you're not going to sleep very long. i take a look at the

quarterbacks i had. you take a look at joe montana, you look at steve young, you look at john elway. you take a look at brian greasy, jay plummer. you look at jay cutler. all of them had different styles and you have to adjust your offense accordingly. >> what do you think? reasonable criticism? sour grapes? >> you know what? i don't know because i don't know enough about what really went on between them except what i read. there may be, you know, he is not the first one to make that point. let me say that. i have heard that before that the shanahans are not willing to let somebody -- to adjust their offense. >> jay plummer made the point in denver. >> a couple guys made that before. >> there have been a couple articles. >> i don't know. we'll see. >> winning cures everything. so they win this year for the rookie quarterback. we'll forget about -- >> no, i'm thinking i heard a lot of criticism by tom landry who wouldn't change and adopt his offense to his quarterback or to any of his players and he still won. >> tom landry had a pretty good
