donations. sources say the candidate who got the fake donations was suleman brown. more seriously u.s. attorney ronald machen is charging gore with destruction of evidence including a spiral notebook. thomas gore, who has indicated he plans to plead guilty to the criminal information papers, faces up to 20 years on the destruction of evidence felony. attorneys say that could give him an incentive to disclose other campaign information for leniency. neither gray who is traveling on city business in las vegas nor his attorney robert bennett commented monday on the federal charges. thomas gore is 56, a veteran of city campaigns and community service work in southeast washington. neither he nor his attorney fred cook could be reached for comment. thomas gore is due in federal court tomorrow. he is said to be cooperating with authorities and this is not some person on the side. this is at the center of vince gray's political life dating back to the council. >> i guess cooperating with authorities means he is probably

going to have to make a deal. >> he is facing 20 years for destroying evidence so we'll see what he knows. >> okay. thanks, tom. >> thank you, tom. rainy day out there. and, doug, i'm getting the impression we might as well get used to this right? >> you might as well. yeah. i saw you come in with your umbrella today. i would change umbrellas if i was you. i would still take your umbrella and keep it handy over the next couple days. we have clouds and sunshine now. some blue skies. but yes. get used to that rain. we are going to see it around. right now mostly cloudy skies. 75 degrees. winds out of the south about 3 miles per hour. current temperatures 67 in martinsburg. 72 in culpepper. a little warmer to the east though. 75 in easton and cambridge. temperatures there nearly 80 today as a result of some sunshine but this is where we're seeing the rain and the temperatures are still back into the 60s. here's what's going on in the satellite and radar. notice the clearing from the eastern shore all the way up toward baltimore. right around the district and then through southern maryland a lot of sunshine right now into southern portions of maryland

working, that afghans are on track to provide their own security. in a couple of years with continuing help. the 50 afghanistan partners will still provide security and a $4 billion a year subsidy for afghan security after troops are gone. former secretary of state madeline albright says she is an optimist on afghanistan. her main concern is that afghan women may again be relegated to second class citizenship after nato stewardship ends. >> societies are more stable when women are politically and economically empowered. we don't want to see the story go backwards in any way. >> reporter: meanwhile, protesters target aircraft maker boeing, a vital cog they say in the war machine. boeing was shut down for the day having told its workers to stay home for safety's sake. a lot of downtown business has done that. normally full parking lots were all but deserted. traffic was light. demonstrators claim the boeing shutdown was a victory, celebrating with confetti and paper airplanes. not all nato protests have been so light hearted.

names on it. one terrorism expert says while the large no fly list is necessary, there is a down side. everybody wants to be safe. on the other hand there are privacy issues. there are issues of profiling. we have many groups that can turn against the general population so we have to be vigilant about everybody. >> the government puts people on the no fly list if they are suspected of planning an attack or if connected to a militant training camp. today the archdiocese of washington joined a lawsuit against the federal government. the catholic church objects to a federal mandate that requires employers to offer birth control coverage to employees. there are exemptions for some religious institutions but only those that primarily hire and serve members of their own faith. catholic hospitals, charities, and schools that

serve all individuals regardless of faith do not qualify. >> now this new definition says we don't count as religious. all of this work doesn't count as religious because we are serving people other than our own. >> today's filing is part of 12 legal actions filed nationwide on behalf of 43 catholic institutions. coming up, it's a graduation to remember. they survived a tornado that ripped their school and community apart. now one year later some high school seniors will have a special visitor in joplin. women have been terrorized in one neighborhood in prince george's county. now police are taking new action after several attacks near a popular trail. drugs that are supposed to be used to treat mental health conditions like schizophrenia are being used for other reasons that are not approved by the government. and there is a controversy brewing in one d.c. community

gained a new found appreciation for the important things in life. >> i'm thankful for every day. i feel so blessed. everything we've gone through has taught us things, made us appreciate life even more. including this tornado. >> reporter: president obama delivers the commencement speech to graduates of joplin high school tonight and as for the actual anniversary date tomorrow, a lot of events are planned including a community wide walk of unity. in joplin, missouri, news 4. the naacp says same sex marriage is a civil right. the group explained what's behind the decision today. it's hoping that it's endorsement will encourage black americans to support same sex marriage if that issue is put on the ballot in november in maryland. the naacp has historically opposed laws banning gay marriage but this is the first time it has made a blanket statement that goes beyond specifically proposed laws in

individual states. >> it is the responsibility and the history of the naacp to speak up on the civil rights issues of our times. we are both proud of our history and challenged by it. challenged to never allow threats to equality for all people go uncontested. >> same sex marriage is legal in six states and in washington, d.c. 38 states defined marriage as being between one man and one woman. >> doug is here with more about our wet weather. you got a problem with vance's umbrella? >> you know, i have to apologize to the umbrella because him and i have no problems. there is no beef there. so, vance, i apologize to your umbrella. >> there is now. you know, you dissed my umbrella you're dising me. which one by the way? >> it is a big umbrella. we're all going to need our umbrellas over the next couple days. that is the point we're trying to get to. but if your umbrella wants to meet me outside after this -- >> you okay with that? >> let's go.

out there right now we're dealing with some sunshine and cloud cover. it just depends on where you live. that's what we're seeing. there is also shower activity off to the west but notice all the blue skies right now coming in across the city. we do have some clearing just on down to the south and east. 75 degrees the high temperature today at the airport with a low of 66. average high 77. so a little bit below average for the high temperature today. and at the airport only 0.03 inch of rain so far but some areas nearly 0.5 inch of rain. that includes a lot of areas in toward maryland. la plata picking up almost 0.2. rockville 0.3 inch. severna park along the chesapeake nearly 0.5 and fredericksburg nearly 0.25. we have seen moderate to heavy rain in portions of the area at least steady rain throughout the morning hours and into the early afternoon and now we're seeing it back to the west. that's where those cooler numbers have been today. 68 in martinsburg. 68 in winchester and leesburg. to the east though where we did see clearing 79s.

cambridge along the eastern shore, 75 in d.c. and down toward pax river as once again we did see clearing skies. that's why we still have the 70s here. 74 annapolis and 73 down toward pax river. to the west 66, the number. hagerstown, martinsburg, winchester along i-81 where we're seeing that rain. here it is in that same area. the cooler numbers given to us by that rainfall and there's still some rain across much of the rest of the region. southern maryland right now the one area that is all sunshine at the moment. but take a look at montgomery county and then look at this little line forming just to the south of frederick. that has some enhanced rainfall with it but not a very big line. back to the west to the south of martinsburg west of charlestown we're looking at some rain there. we'll zoom in on one area to the north and west of bethesda where we've seen the rain around rockville and crossing over the river. around mclean and back along route 7 around the reston area and great falls all seeing shower activity right now. that's pretty much what it is, just some shower activity. there is heavier rain down i-95 in through stafford county

around fredericksburg so once again you want to carry vance's umbrella with you wherever you go throughout the rest of the evening but what we are going to be seeing is that chance for rain right on through the next couple days. look at the rain back to the west. we're still dealing with not just rain but thunderstorm activity. i think that's what we're going to get into during the day tomorrow. here's the reason we have rain today. it's an area of low pressure that actually made its way in from the atlantic. that area of low pressure moves out. here comes another area of low pressure along a frontal boundary. that front is going to stall out during the day tomorrow. that's why we have showers and storms for us and into wednesday. here's tropical storm alberto by the way. the first named tropical storm of the season. it should become a depression by this time on wednesday. we're not worried about that. it will stay off to sea. we'll still see plenty of moisture anyway and that in offer the atlantic ocean even on wednesday. this evening, some clearing. rather mild. 65 to 75 degrees. the rain mostly to the west of i-95. tomorrow morning cloudy, mild with areas of fog, drizzle, with a few showers.

temperatures 58 to about 64 degrees. we could even see some dense fog in some areas tonight especially those areas that have seen some clearing during the day. tomorrow afternoon showers and thunderstorms likely. we'll go with a 50% to 60% chance of rain tuesday and wednesday. high temperatures in the upper 70s. 79 on thursday. we'll still see a chance of rain and then drying out this weekend. a great weekend looking very, very nice. obviously for memorial day. saturday, sunday, and monday high temperatures in the mid to upper 80s. right now it looks like a chance for some rain on sunday. most of memorial day weekend looking good. next week, one week from today, we start our back yard weather for memorial day. we'll be down to the beaches but then going into people's back yards so if you want us to come to your back yard send us a picture. >> we want to hear from them now. >> quick. because we start next thursday. so the invitation is there. >> all right. thank you. >> thanks, doug. coming up, a friday fluke or facebook trend? find out what happened on wall street today after the lack luster debut on market.

nehemiah wilson, a fellow protester, who says he was man handled and pepper sprayed by police. >> you can look at me and see that there was excessive force used at minimum and misconduct at minimum and it shouldn't happen. >> reporter: craig wilson is 42 years old. he is from new york city. saturday he was at the capitol hill hyatt regency for a national peoples action conference. he had been in town for two hours. he was in a meeting room at a table with some colleagues. he said police thought he fit the description of a murder suspect. there was a confrontation with police officers and he got roughed up. later police determined wilson had nothing to do with the murder but they did charge him with misdemeanor assault on a police officer. >> at the end of the day that is the thing. i was not the guy. they never, ever even apologized or admitted that they made a mistake. right? they wanted to charge me with assault. >> reporter: the d.c. police

department says it's investigating the allegations of excessive force and the u.s. attorney's office says it's reviewing the assault on police officer charges against craig wilson. downtown washington, pat collins, news 4. a former rutgers university student has been sentenced to 30 days in jail for spying on his roommate who later committed suicide. he also received three years of probation. in 2010 tyler clemente jumped off a bridge after learning ravi had used his web cam to watch him kissing another man. prosecutors want a longer sentence and they say they will appeal. ravi's lawyers also plan to appeal the conviction. the school bus being towed through the third street tunnel downtown caught fire this morning. that sent some drivers scrambling to abandon their vehicles. the fire appears to have been caused by a mechanical failure. nobody injured but three capital police officers were taken to a

bipolar disorder, is being over prescribed for things like attention deficit disorder, even insomnia. that's causing big concerns because these drugs are expensive and they can have serious side effects. >> just walking around and going through some kind of field and stepped in the wrong spot. >> reporter: when 20-year-old william cook was severely injured in a blast in iraq he says that was just the beginning of his nightmare. >> memory has never been the same. ever since my ears have always been ringing. and a lot of headaches. >> reporter: doctors prescribe for him an anti-psychotic medication, a type of drug used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. not his diagnosis. it didn't make him feel any better. in fact, he says the drug made him feel even worse. >> i couldn't function. i felt like a zombie. >> reporter: doctors prescribed the medication to will cook off label meaning the drug was being used for another reason than its

intended and fda approved purpose. studies show that is happening more and more often especially when it comes to popular anti-psychotic medications that include seroquel and zyprexa and alilify. >> this has become a very widespread problem and very routine. it is not only exposing people to great risks it's significantly and unnecessarily driving up the costs of the ent. >> reporter: according to a stanford university study off label prescriptions of antipsychotics doubled between 1995 and 2008 from 4.4 million to 9 million helping to boost sales which totaled more than $16 billion in 2010. off label drug use is legal and it has benefited millions of patients but d.c. psychiatrist dr. wayne blackman says he's concerned that some powerful antipsychotics are being prescribed for less severe conditions like anxiety, insomnia, and even attention

deficit disorder. >> that's taking a hammer to kill a fly. >> reporter: dr. blackman says that is because the side effects from the antipsychotic drugs can be serious including significant weight gain, diabetes, metabolic issues, and lethargy. but others say diagnosing mental health problems is tricky, a patient's symptoms often don't fit into one diagnosis so they may need a combination of medications to find an effective treatment. >> we don't have all the answers. the fact we use multiple medications, i think, would lead to off label use. >> reporter: william cook was later diagnosed not with a mental health condition but a traumatic brain injury. he has now stopped taking all medications and is being treated for his tbi. >> it's relieving to finally have all these symptoms gone and to have it now feel like i can get on with life. >> doctors say it's important to

ask your doctor if the medicine he or she is prescribing is being used off label. if the answer is yes, you may want to ask about evidence backing up its use for your issue. patients are entitled to that information from their physician. coming up tonight, you might not be able to sit with your family on an airplane. we'll tell you why. also we have a new rare look at the beatles. you saying i might have to let my wife and kids sit in some other place entirely on the airplane? >> yes. >> what a sacrifice. >> is that a law? can we talk about it? storm 4 radar showing showers making their way across the area. you will need your umbrellas but not just for tonight. i'll show you for how long we gotta sell the car. where would we even start?

the lack luster response to facebook's initial public offering last week is looking less like a fluke. stock in the social networking website started friday at $38 a share and ended its first day of trading with a gain of just 23 cents. there were questions about whether technical problems might have contributed to the poor showing. apparently not. facebook shares dropped 11% today to end at $34.03. airlines are making it more expensive to sit with your family on flights. they are reserving more window and aisle seats for passengers who are willing to pay extra. the coveted seats could cost $25 or more each way. if family members don't pay the extra fees, they could have a hard time finding seats next to each other. travel experts say the odds get a little better if you buy your tickets two or more months in advance. there are some big changes in traffic patterns coming to southeast d.c. on thursday the final span of the new 11th street bridge will

went up for a ball and collided with shanahan who was watching another drill. shanahan lay motionless on the field for several minutes but got up, toufd it out, finished practice, and was needless to say a hot topic afterwards. >> coach out there in the middle of the field. we just ran into him. didn't mean it to happen. just football on this condensed field. can't get a lot of room with everybody working. you know, things happen like that on the football field. >> he showed some toughness, got up. stuck it out. so, you know, that's a mark of our team. you know? but coach -- it was a pretty scary thing actually to see two guys running full speed smack dab into your coach. we're glad he was fine and got up and hopefully he's fine tomorrow. because usually hits like that don't kick in until the next day. >> any time you see a head coach go down it's never a good moment. he's our leader, our head guy. i think it took everyone's breath away for a little bit but he's a tough guy. i mean, if anybody -- any sign

reflected what the team is going to be about this year i think he set the tone. he got up and finished practice. i think he set the tone for the rest of the guy. >> he toughed it out. didn't it look like the special teams coach danny smith was giving him a pep talk? you got right up, coach. >> get in there. we got to keep going. >> love it. shanahan is not a big guy. >> i know. but he is a tough guy. he won't feel it till tomorrow. >> he's in the golf cart tomorrow. >> spoken like a true player. we'll see. redskins back at it tomorrow. tiger's tournament coming back to congressional in june. today tiger at congo for a chipping contest with fans. a fan actually beat him in the chipping contest and his usual media session. tiger wants congressional to be tougher than it was during last year's u.s. open. mother nature of course will control that. as for tiger's game he still is hungry as ever. it's been written and said that jack's record of 18 major championships isn't as important

to you now as it once was. is that fair? >> it's important. certainly no doubt. it hasn't changed. >> is the family factor, you talk about patience. i have two kids so i know about patience. are you maybe more patient in terms of getting there than you are in the past? >> i knew it was going to take a career. it took jack 24 years to get it done. you know, as of right now i'm on the same pace. people forget that. you know, because i was ahead of schedule for a while. but i'm on the same pace. and actually he didn't win his 15th until he was 40. >> you have a while. >> i do. we have a long time. we always -- we almost saw a 59-year-old win the british open. we can play this game for a long time. >> tiger has not won a major in four years and gets another shot at the u.s. open coming up very soon. from interleague to a lot of divisional games we're talking baseball and tonight the nationals begin a stretch of 15 games within the national league east including the next nine on

the phillies in atlanta and the marlins so it is going to be a fun time for us and a good week. >> what kind of reception did he get up there in philly after everything was -- >> you know, a couple boos. that would be awesome. i'm excited to get in there and play and hopefully they don't throw any batteries or whatever at me. we'll see. all right. nba news the orlando magic have fired their head coach stan van gundy and general manager otis smith. meanwhile, on the court the san antonio spurs getting it done. chris paul and the clippers trying to avoid being swept out of the playoffs by tony parker and the spurs. late in the fourth quarter spurs up by two. blake griffin out to paul. check this out. that's the top of the backboard. >> oh, my. >> and in. chris paul gets fouled as well. that would put the clippers up by one but under, look at that. you do not see that very often. >> does that count? >> it does count. you always think the top of the backboard is out of bounds but i guess up. spurs up by one. tony parker with the ball.

that little tear drop. gets that to go. he finished with 17. the spurs win, 102-99 and they are advancing to the western conference finals. they'll play either the lakers or the thunder kevin durant's oklahoma city thunder up 3-1 in that series. >> probably the thunder. >> did you say a fan beat tiger in the chipping contest? >> yeah. they had ten or 12 fans and one of them actually got it closer to the pit and a little chip off than tiger did. >> somebody has a good party going on. celebration. thanks, dan. we'l
