notice here's leesburg. we have some new development that we're watching. we're going to be watching these storms throughout the rest of the evening. i do expect them to eventually move into the west of northern virginia and possibly the district. we're talking about the possibility of strong to severe storms this evening but a better chance tomorrow and a change to your memorial day weekend. it's in the forecast. i'll show you what that change is and what to expect from the storms over the next 24 hours coming up in my forecast. now to the latest from oklahoma. we are learning the extent of the damage in the town of moore, devastated by that tornado a couple of days ago. 13,000 homes either destroyed or damaged. the estimated cost of damage, $2 billion. tonight we're getting a new look at the tornado when it touched down. its cell phone video taken from a store owner who did not seek shelter, but stood by a glass door and videotaped the twister. meanwhile late this afternoon, the white house announced that the president plans to travel to oklahoma on sunday to meet with victims and first responders.

tonight we're hearing from families who lost family members in the tornado. 9-year-old ja'nae hornsby was the first victim identified yesterday. the third grader always had a smile on her face. her father talked about getting the call from the medical examiner's office and about how faith is helping him to stay strong. >> and then he told me that she had passed and they had her there, and just -- rage just came over me. she was telling me that, you know, it's going to be okay. not to dwell on it, you know, not to let it get me down. she's always going to be here with me. >> six othertudents from her school also died. news4's erika gonzalez spent the day talking with people in the hardest-hit areas in oklahoma. she joins us live now with more. what are you finding out? >> reporter: doreen, things are still a wreck here in moore.

i mean when you take a look around behind me, there's still wood all over the place. you've heard me say it before, it looks like a lumberyard exploded in moore. you've got pieces of wood all over the place, pieces of metal just thrown about. we've been told emts have set up an area where people can get tetanus shots because there's so many nails protruding from this, make it dangerous for people cleaning up. they have got barbecue pits going on inviting people to come over and have a hot meal. telling them we know you're going through a lot. let us help make things a little easier for you because we know you have a long road ahead. it's 48 hours after an ef-5 tornado ransacked 17 miles of moore and oklahoma city. the damages will be costly, nearing the $2 billion mark. with cars and levelled houses, that's easy to see why, but how do you put a price on children, people, pets, photographs of

weddings and birthdays, amid the red dirt oklahoma is known for, spirits bent, not broken. >> we can rebuild a house. we can get new vehicles. the happiness is finding those little bits and pieces you can find. that makes you happy. >> reporter: stick around with us. i'll be back with you in about another 30 minutes for you to hear one of the most endearing stories that we have encountered here. family members reunited with their pets. we're on the ground here in moore, oklahoma. also follow us at nbcwashington.com and twitter. we'll be back in 30 minutes. live in moore, oklahoma, erika gonzalez, news4. some local first responders are answering the call for help from victims in oklahoma. an organization called heroes for the homeland began collecting supplies earlier today. news4 was there as they started getting their trucks ready.

there are eight locations in maryland for donations. they're collecting until june the 1st. the group's president says they wanted to help other first responders, like themselves. area firefighters and police officers formed that volunteer organization last year. you can help the victims in oklahoma tomorrow. news4 teaming up with the red cross for a phone drive from 11:00 in the morning until 7:00 tomorrow evening. a developing story has now become a terror investigation in london. two men armed with large knives hacked a man to death near a military barracks this afternoon. a lawmaker reports that the victim is a soldier. witnesses say attackers beheaded him. the attackers have now been arrested at the hospital. they were both shot by police. nbc's partner network in britain obtained video of one of the men holding a cleaver saying, quote, we will never stop fighting you until you leave us alone. some new information could link bombing suspect tamerlan tsarnaev to a triple murder two

years before the boston marathon attack. law enforcement sources tell nbc news that a man named ib rag ra todashev confessed for his involvement in that crime. they say he named tsarnaev as an accomplice. that murder in 2011 reportedly involved a drug deal gone bad. fbi agents shot todashev when he became aggressive and tried to attack agents with a knife. that was during questioning this morning in orlando. at this point there is no indication that todashev had any involvement in the marathon bombing. tonight the irs scandal is expanding and there was an electric moment on the hill today. lois lerner who runs the irs unit at the center of the scandal invoked her fifth amendment right against self incrimination. she refused to answer questions from congress. steve handelsman is on capitol hill with the latest on all this. steve. >> reporter: doreen, thanks. no surprise from lerner but after what she did it's got to look at least to a lot of americans that it's more likely

that crimes were committed at the irs. democrats fear it's more likely that republicans will get what they want in this scandal investigation, which is a special prosecutor to look into it. all because one witness up here today took the fifth. house lawmakers believe lois lerner knows why conservative groups were targeted by the irs. she still runs the section of irs that did the targeting. but in today's hearing, lerner denied personal responsibility. >> i have not done anything wrong. >> reporter: then she took the fifth, refusing to answer questions. >> one of the basic functions of the fifth amendment is to protect innocent individuals, and that is the protection i am invoking today. >> reporter: irs officials stonewalling could prompt appointment of a special council prolonging the investigation. don't do it, warned democrat steven lynch. >> because there will be hell to pay if that's the route that we

chose to go down. >> reporter: lerner was excused. could she or others be criminally charged? an issue addressed after police got lerner past news crews and into an elevator. >> step back. >> you can't block the elevator. >> i just did. step back. >> reporter: irs inspector general, jay russell george. >> it is possible that criminal activity may have occurred, but it is too early at this stage that make that determination. >> reporter: it can be a crime to lie to congress. lynch ripped into former irs commissioner douglas shulman. he testified last year irs was not targeting, then learned a list of groups had been targeted. >> when you learned that our suspicions were true, when you learned that there was a list, you did nothing. you did nothing. you never came back to congress to straighten out that impression. that's inexcusable. >> reporter: shulman went to the white house 118 times, but testified he never discussed irs

targeting. shulman left irs last year. tonight, this is the first day irs has a new acting commissioner, danny wurfel who's been given the job of repairing the image of irs. family and friends are demanding answers today after a man was killed in alexandria early this morning. it was some kind of dispute between the victim and an off-duty arlington county sheriff's deputy. so far no charges have been filed. today, our pat collins learned that the victim worked for pbs and has a relative in the nba. >> reporter: an incredible scene out here. these are all friends and family members, people close to julian dawkins. he was very well liked in this lynhaven section of alexandria,

and tonight julian dawkins is dead. shot and killed by an off-duty sheriff's deputy. why was an arlington county sheriff's deputy in alexandria last night? what was going on in that park down the street? what kind of confrontation led to this? and why is julian dawkins dead? there are a lot of questions here. this is the off-duty arlington county sheriff's deputy who they say shot and killed a 22-year-old man in alexandria. he's identified as craig patterson, seen here posing on a facebook page. police say patterson stayed on the scene, called 911 and was taken in, questioned and released. what did he say happened? >> i don't have that information at this time and the investigation is ongoing. >> reporter: was the off-duty sheriff charged?

>> he was not charged. >> reporter: the victim, julian dawkins. he was 22 years old. his great uncle nolan dawkins, the first african-american circuit court judge in alexandria. his cousin, tiara ruffin pratt, a basketball star who just signed with the washington mystics. julian dawkins, a graduate of t.c. williams high school. for the last two years, he worked as a shuttle driver for the pbs newshour. joul janua julian dawkins, shot and killed by an off-duty arlington sheriff's deputy in a yard behind this fence about four doors away from his aunt's house. >> it's totally unreal to me that -- you know, that i wake up and get a knock on the door and see my nephew lying face down in the grass. you know, it's just unreal. >> reporter: last night there was a family gathering at the

aunt's home to celebrate tiara ruffin pratt signing with the washington mystics. there were a lot of people there, including julian dawkins. that family gathering broke up around 9:00. it's unclear as to what julian dawkins did after that. but they say sometime later, here at a place they call rock park, he got into a confrontation with that off-duty sheriff's deputy. words exchanged. a neighbor witnessed it. she asked not to be identified. >> the man ran down the street yelling i'll be back, you best believe i'll be back. and then maybe about three, four minutes later, the next thing you know i heard one pop and i rush outside. and i seen the young man laying in the people's yard. >> reporter: people continue to gather here in lynhaven section

of alexandria to pay their respect to julian dawkins. in the meantime, that sheriff's deputy has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. live in alexandria, pat collins, news4. another scandal for the military. tonight we'll report what an army sergeant is accused of doing to female cadets. congress is setting up for a big showdown on the senate floor over immigration. tonight how locals are eagerly getting their paperwork in order. and before you hit the road for memorial day weekend, we'll show you the best shortcuts to get you to the beaches in delaware.

a scandal at west point has sparked even more concern about the prevention of sexual abuse in the military. a staff member at west point is accused of planting hidden cameras in the shower and the locker room facilities of female cadets there. his name is army sergeant first class michael mcclendon. he's a decorated combat veteran who served in iraq. mek cl mcclendon was a staff adviser at west point. he was responsible for the health and welfare of 125 cadets. he has been relieved of his duties and has already been charged. an immigration reform bill to give millions of people a chance at citizenship is now headed to the full senate.

a judiciary committee approved the measure to cheers from immigration groups. the senate will start debate right after the memorial day recess. the legislation offers an opportunity for citizenship for undocumented immigrants. it creates new ways for people to come to the u.s. to work legally and tighten security at the borders. even before the new debate starts in the senate, undocumented immigrants are getting ready to seize the opportunity for citizenship. richard jordan shows us now the possibilities and the pitfalls that they face. >> reporter: immigration reform appears to be moving forward on capitol hill, and now some immigrant legal services are getting ready for a big rush. those who dream of citizenship keep pushing for comprehensive immigration reform, and now immigration lawyers are preparing to see the surge. ayuda in northwest washington provides immigrant legal services. executive director jaime forant said the phones are ringing.

>> we had a week where we tracked over 100 calls in one week just on this bill. >> reporter: the agency has dealt with a flood of clients before. this photo, taken in the late 1980s, shows a line wrapped around the building after el salvadorians were granted temporary protected status. the passage of immigration reform will likely lead to another line, perhaps a longer one. evelyn hernandez is anxious to put in her paperwork, but just like there's hope for undocumented immigrants, there's also those who make false promises for big bucks. >> but people hear that people have to get in the line so they hear someone saying, if you pay me now, you can get on the line. people are actually paying, you know, when that's absolutely a lie. it's just fraud. >> reporter: the undocumented community is sticking together until reform arrives. >> i applied for deferred action so right now i have all my documents, but i'm helping educate people what they may

need to file taxes, to have the right documentation. we're just trying to make sure people are ready for what immigration reform happens. >> reporter: some advocate groups say they are looking at hiring more staff and even finding some additional work space so they can accommodate the big numbers they're expecting. on capitol hill, richard jordan, news4. doug is here with more about our weather on this rainy weather moving in and also our memorial day weekend changing. >> it is changing, at least a little bit. we've been cooling the numbers down each and every day as we approach our memorial day weekend. first let's talk about what we're dealing with right now. today a very summer-like afternoon. not just the heat but also humidity. the heat index, something we haven't talked about in many, many months came back today with that heat index, the way it feels on your skin. above 90 degrees for the first time this year across much of the region. take a look right now and you can see just a few clouds around the d.c. metro area. back to the west a completely different story. storm team 4 radar lit up right

now with thunderstorms. some of them have been severe, a history of severe storms. they're right here in the west virginia panhandle but also a couple firing up in montgomery county, loudoun county and one little shower in through portions of fairfax county right around the herndon-reston area. this shower has been increasing right around clarksburg along 270 and is moving straight up 270. so if you're in clarksburg, you're going to see a brief heavy shower. but these are the showers and thunderstorms that have been the strongest. winchester, martinsburg, down around shepherdstown, charlestown looking very, very -- or seeing these storms coming in very, very strong. a lot of lightning associated with these storms. we've seen a lot of severe thunderstorm warnings throughout the day of the the good news is not seeing any of those right now. here's charlestown and harper's ferry. both seeing those storms so these will continue to move toward the north and east in through portions of washington county. as i mentioned, we were looking at a line of warnings.

not a single warning as of now. if we do get a warning, we'll show it to you right here at nbc4. storm team 4 radar shows more thunderstorm activity down to the southwest. this is the kind of thing that tomorrow will shift to the east in and along the i-95 corridor. so tomorrow i expect just about everybody to see at least some thunderstorm activity and this is what we're going to see this evening and tomorrow. your severe potential. hail, medium threat, upwards of a dime, maybe a quarter size. wind upwards of 50, maybe 60 miles an hour. i'm not expecting a big wind event but any individual storms could produce strong winds and flooding. we have already seen flash flooding. we're still seeing that ongoing in the shenandoah valley. could happen tomorrow as these storms won't be moving a whole lot with over an inch of rain possible, some locations two inches. tonight, future weather showing the rain back to the west where it is right now. around 10:00, 11:00, that line makes its way our way. we're looking at showers and maybe some thunderstorms around 11:00. not worried about severe weather

for i-95 tonight. tomorrow a different story. look what happens here. tomorrow morning right around 8:00 we're dealing with the cloud cover, still on the mild side. but tomorrow afternoon here comes a line of storms potentially right along i-95 right during the rush hour between 5:00 and 7:00 tomorrow night. potentially any of those storms could produce locally strong winds and the potential for hail and very heavy rainfall. the other thing we're dealing with is the temperatures. 84 in gaithersburg, 86 in manassas. many of you to the west hit 90 today, including leesburg which right now is at 88. winchester, rain cooled down to 66 and that cooler air will move in across the region. still 88 in d.c., 93 in la plata. so a very warm evening. it's going to continue to be warm the rest of today. tomorrow back to 78. look at the weekend, a lot cooler here. 67 on your friday, 69 on saturday. rather breezy. you probably need the jacket on saturday. sunday and monday, though, looking pretty good as you head toward the end of memorial day

weekend. highs in the 70s. now, coming up tomorrow or actually on friday, we're going to go to ocean city, maryland, for our backyard weather. if you'd like us to come to your backyard, e-mail us at weather ad nbcwashington.com. by the way, that picture is about two years old. just showing you. >> thank you, doug. back your patience if you're headed to the beaches this holiday weekend, the bay bridge will be packed with drivers headed to ocean city in delaware. transportation reporter adam tuss made the trip to delaware to give us an idea what to expect, plus some shortcuts from the people who know how to get around. >> reporter: here we are on the boardwalk at rehoboth beach. if you're planning on coming here for the weekend, let me show you something here. a lot of people are already here. cars lined up as far as we can see. if you're coming here to the delaware beaches this weekend, you need to get your game plan ready. >> they should leave early and and stay late and spend lots of money in our little town. >> reporter: that's the advice

from the locals here in rehoboth about making your way to the beach, but there's more. rachel webster who lives here year round is willing to give away one of her secret backroad tips. >> there is a super secret shortcut if you're going out to the highway. you can cut behind the outlets. there's a service road back there and you can cut about a mile and a half off of all the traffic on rehoboth avenue. >> reporter: others not so willing to let go of their traffic advice. >> if i told you, i'd have to kill you. i'm teasing. i don't want anyone to know my secret route. >> reporter: of course before you can even think about getting here to the delaware beaches, you have to hit the road. the standard route, bay bridge, u.s. 50, 404, 113, then pick your destination. there is some construction right now, but both maryland and delaware high waway crews will suspend all construction activity for the long weekend. and there are some traffic changes at the beach. once you get down here to bethany beach, you're going to notice something very different about the main strip. if you'll used to

park kind of diagonally with the meadian there in the middle. you're going to park in a single file straight line down the middle. as far as gas prices, the lowest price along route 50 we found was $3.39. back here now on the boardwalk in rehoboth beach, so again if you're coming here this weekend, pretty good idea to get your game plan ready right now. adam tuss, news4. doug has some information for us now about some storm weather activity, doug? >> yeah, we're watching that severe thunderstorm warning right now that's just issued for northern loudoun county as well as western portions of frederick county, eastern washington and eastern jefferson. that throughout the rest of the hour until 7:00, 7:15 tonight so heads up for those storms. right around charlestown. as i just mentioned, around harper's ferry, heads up, those storms mean business.

it. >> how many of you were pushed to do this by your parents? >> reporter: the program not only saves prince george's families money on higher education, it's giving these students a real future. >> because i get that two-year jump so, you know, i'm kind of ahead of my class. >> reporter: the governor says he would like to see a middle college at every institution of higher learning throughout the state of maryland and that's why he's invested $2 million into these programs in hopes of it being an incentive. in kettering, i'm tracee wilkins, news4. >> let's go to jim handly at the live desk now. some new revelations about drone strikes coming from the obama administration. jim? >> reporter: doreen, for the first time the white house is acknowledging that four american citizens have been killed in drone strikes since 2009. attorney general eric holder made congress aware of the killings in a memo sent out today. now, these strikes happened in pakistan and yemen. the most high-profile drone strike was the killing of anwar al aliki back in 2011. holder said the radical muslim

hello, everybody. storm team 4 chief meteorologist doug kammerer watching these severe storms moving through the western zones. the beltway, we're clear for now but back to the west this is where we're looking at some strong storms that have just developed and are going to continue to move off to the north and east at 20 to 30 miles per hour. these are going to affect northern portions of loudoun county. you can see them affecting northern loudoun. also portions of southern washington and western frederick county. this is right around brunswick, lovettsville. this is tw247. you're probably seeing very heavy rain and it's going to continue moving to the east. 20 to 30 miles an hour. so jefferson in about 12 minutes. braddock, that's going to come in in about 22 minutes and ballinger creek in 27 minutes. so it is moving that way, right

up towards frederick maryland. i do expect it to be in your area in about the next half hour if it's able to hold together. numerous thunderstorms, new warning down in the southern shenandoah valley. these storms also moving our way and eventually they'll cross over and make their way towards the i-95 corridor. most likely after about 9:00, 10:00 tonight so most of the evening will we okay but then the overnight hours, expect showers to move in. temperatures in the low to mid-60s, even the upper 60s overnight. then tomorrow temperatures about 10 degrees cooler than where they were today with thunderstorms likely tomorrow. some of us could see heavy downpours across the area. we'll talk about that forecast and also mention what's going on for memorial day weekend in just a minute. >> thank you, doug. your old partner who went to -- lindsay czarniak, i used to love it, she'd come in and say you know, you just ought to leave the drama to your mama. >> nats can't do that these days. >> no. there's some drama in the clubhouse. >> yeah, man, this isn't good.

the nationals wrapping up their ten-game road trip in san francisco this afternoon. you know, going into the game, the baseball world was still buzzing because this could be the first crack in the nats foundation. rafael soriano, the new $14 million a year closer, criticized bryce harper for misplaying a ball late in last night's game that led to a game-tying triple and eventually a loss. here's what went down. the nats up 2-1 on the giants. soriano trying to close it out with two outs in the ninth. blanco hits one to harper in right field. watch harper just kind of checkup as he gets to the warning track. harper admitted he had a flashback to his face-first collision with the outfield wall last week. soriano hasn't talked to harper, but did back off his previous comments today saying, quote, with that kid, i have no problem. things happen in baseball that escape you. i can't blame him. so the question is, how did harper respond today? like the beast he is. top six, no score, the giants

madison bum garner was rolling until this. harper with the opposite-field home run. it's a solo shot. his 12th of the season, tied for second best in baseball and puts the nats up 1-0. bottom of the inning, hunter pence, uh-oh, gives -- look at harper, brick wall, unfazed. how about that? gets over it rather quickly. when you're 20 years old, you just bounce back so that was a big play there. ian desmond gives him a hug, says good job, young fella. after 7 1/3 innings, drew storen on in relief and this isn't good. buster posey singles to left, angel pagan scores, gio was charged with a run and right now it is 1-1 in the ninth inning. a new low in the verbal feud between golfers tiger woods and sergio garcia. heated up a couple of weeks ago when they played together at the players championship. yesterday garcia was at an

awards dinner in europe and was asked about having woods over for dinner during the u.s. open. garcia replied we'll have him around every night and we'll serve fried chicken. today garcia called an impromptu press conference to apologize. >> i want to apologize to tiger and anybody that i could have offended by the comment i made. you know, just say that i feel sick about it. i'm truly, truly sorry and hope that we can kind of settle things down and hopefully move on. >> so tiger responded to sergio's remarks via twitter saying that comment that was made wasn't silly, it was wrong, hurtful and clearly inappropriate. i'm confident that there is real regret that the remark was made. the players ended nearly two weeks ago and it's long past time to move on and talk about golf. sergio just keeps putting his foot in his mouth day after day

after day. >> it wasn't funny. >> maybe just stop talking, huh? >> probably be a good idea. but we're going to keep on because we have things to talk about. we have got the number three pick. >> like the lottery for the wizards, how about that! they have the third overall pick in the nba draft. they're now choosing from a horn aplenty, two of their best options who could help the team right now are d.c. products. how about georgetown star, otto porter, projected as the number three pick in many a mock draft. he would immediately fill a need for the wizards. so the big east player of the year seems like a perfect fit. it would be nice too considering his home court in college was the verizon center. another guy who's getting high marks, indiana's victor oladipo. the dematha grad and prince george's county native is the best dunker in the country and the best defender in the country coming out of college. that is a pretty dangerous combination. so, you know, it's a no-lose situation for the wizards right now. hopefully. hopefully it doesn't come to fruition with what everybody was saying on twitter. they'll find a way to screw it

up. >> no, let's think positive. >> you've got the third pick, they'll be okay. football now, redskins wrapping up round one of their organized team activities or otas tomorrow afternoon. robert griffin iii scheduled to talk to the media for the first time in a long time. meantime, joe flacco says winning a super bowl and getting one of the richest contracts in nfl history wasn't changed him one bit. >> i honestly don't think too much about the contract. when i think about it, it's all good. i don't have a super bowl ring yet but i guess in a couple weeks i will. when i think about that, it's all good. but, you know, those things i can honestly say, those things aren't something that i think about every day and affect the way i come in here and perform or anything like that. like i said, when somebody asks me or, you know, every now and then when you have some downtime and happen to think about it or somebody brings it up, then yeah, you think about it and it

has a good effect on your outlook on the day. but other than that, yeah, i can honestly say it's pretty normal coming in here. >> good affect on your outlook on the day i'd say. tough break for the san francisco 49ers. one of the favorites to win the super bowl this year, the niners lose receiver michael crabtree to a torn achilles. they don't say it's season-ending, though. let's hit the hellie pad. bears linebacker brian urlacher calling it quits after 13 nfl seasons, all with the bears. they couldn't agree to a new contract so they parted ways. geno smith hired jay-z's rock nation sports to represent him. smith recently fired his previous agents after falling to the second round in the nfl draft. and in basketball, mike krzyzewski will return to coach team usa basketball in the 2016 olympics. he was originally expected to step down, but he said, you know what, we've already won two golds in the olympics with me at the helm, why not win a third,

coming up in rio. >> that could explain why gio was in, storen steps in, a run is scored and it's charged for our families... our neighbors... and our communities... america's beverage companies have created... a wide range of new choices. developing smaller portion sizes and more.. low and no-calorie beverages... adding clear calorie labels so you know... exactly what you're choosing...

and in schools, replacing full-calorie soft drinks... with lower-calorie options. with more choices and fewer calories... america's beverage companies are delivering.

stormy weather out there tonight. >> especially through west virginia. take a look at the radar one more time. the strongest storm making its way toward frederick just to the north of leesburg, northern loudoun county. heads up there, you'll see very strong storms moving through. the next couple of days, notice your memorial day weekend. saturday, sunday, a little bit on the cool side and rather breezy, but, hey, we at least get into the 70s with some sunshine sunday and monday looking pretty good. it's friday and saturday that are going to be the cool days. >> okay. thank you, doug. >> sunshine would have been better but i guess we'll take what we can. you do the best you can, right? that's our broadcast for now. "nightly news" coming up next. >> we hope we'll see you at 11:00.

on our broadcast tonight, inside the destruction. a view we haven't seen until now of the oklahoma neighborhood and school that took a direct on our broadcast tonight,
