consider here is, as you know, his family has been undergoing a multi-year long campaign to get him longer and longer leave from st. elizabeth's to visit the family home in williamsburg, and as you know, there is pending now still in federal court a request basically to have permanent leave down there. he has been on these multi-week trips. they want to get him down there all year, basically. if the federal authorities were to take -- decide to pursue these charges, that could potentially complicate that. there are, you know, many possible moving parts here, and we're a long way from knowing what the consequences, if any, of this will be. >> couldn't, say, a defense lawyer for hinckley say, but james brady was 30 plus years ago, and he reached his life expectancy so to speak? is that something someone could say to counter this if they pursue this? >> i think one thing that a defense lawyer could say is there were intervening causes of james brady's death.

they could say, yes, he was wounded, but there was -- that set off a chain of things. one thing connected to another. is it a direct enough cause, or is it too indirect to sustain, you know -- it's one thing for the coroner to say his death is a homicide. it's another thing for a swrir to say that. you know, again, these are all decision that the federal authorities are going to have to make. we are a long way from that. this is something i'm sure they're going to take some time. there's no rush here because they essential know where john hinckley is. >> right. >> at the very least it's an interesting footnote to history. >> have we heard from the brady family? >> no, we have not. or the hinckleys. >> no, this is just -- just happened. >> interesting turn today. pete, thanks so much for coming over. we appreciate it. >> my pleasure. meanwhile, in other news closer to home, a loving mother and grandmother. that's how a woman killed on the beltway is being remembered tonight. mourners gathered to pay final

to teaching when the accident happened, and the family is still in search of answers. >> they really don't know why this happened. we now have a little better idea of what, but we don't know why. >> reporter: her car was hit by an suv making a u-turn, using a cut-through in the median from the inner loop to the outer loop. >> traffic was moving too slow. ae replied the brakes too hard over compensated, and the vehicle skidded back to the left side-swiping the vehicle that ms. holt-williams was in. >> reporter: the suv was an unmarked state police vehicle being driven by a state police cadet with another cadet in the passenger seat. attorney williams, who is not related to the victims, says the family only learned that fact through a news report about the accident. cadets are technically civilian employees of the state without police power. >> there certainly is, i would imagine, going to be an officer or two who is going to have to come forward or somethinging to be brought forward to explain how exactly the cadet did get to

have keys to a maryland state police vehicle because he certainly couldn't have gotten into the vehicle and driven it off by himself. >> reporter: there are two investigations. one is administrative, and one is based on the actual crash reconstruction. both will be sent to the state attorney's office. now we have heard from a spokesperson from the state police who tells us there is indeed an investigation into whether or not that cadet was following the proper procedures laid out for civilian employees of state police. it will ultimately be up to the u.s. attorney for prince georges county as to whether charges will be filed. coming up on news 4 at 6:00 we'll hear more from the family, the representative, and more about this incident. what happens if in the immediate hours after the accident. tragedy at a summer camp this afternoon. we learned that a local boy has drowned, and scott mcfarland is at the live desk with the details. >> reporter: the 13-year-old was with a silver spring-based camp at a camp in baltimore county this afternoon when he drowned. it happened at oregon ridge park

they're accused of capturing and killing members of religious minorities. the federal aviation administration is also suspending all flights over iraq, and president obama, while authorizing the air strikes, said we are not going back to war. nbc's kristen welker is live with more on the big gomts developments and what they all mean. kristen. >> well, good evening, wendy. we're learning more about the thinking here behind the skinz at the white house. white house officials saying that the president is not putting a timeline on these air strikes, which means that they could continue for as long as is deemed necessary. also important to highlight, the administration is not ruling out the possibility of escalating its military offensive against isis. that is not the preference. that is not the desired goal. they want these air strikes to be limited, but white house press secretary john ernest earlier today said president obama would evaluate and have to re-assess if it was believed

that isis was not being deterred by these initial rounds of air strikes. so they're really launching a three-pronged approach to this crisis, wendy. first, the humanitarian response. getting food and water to those people who are trapped on that mountain. that came yesterday during that airdrop in which the administration delivered 8,000 prepackaged meals. 5,300 gallons of water. then the air strikes that we've been talking about. they are also increasing their aid and military aid to the forces, the kurdish fighters there who retreated as isis was gaining ground in the northwest part of iraq. they could be key to helping to deal with the situation and getting those transit people off of that mountain. president obama heads to martha's vineyard, tomorrow for his vacation where he will continue to monitor the situation from there. back to you. >> kristen welker at the white house. thanks, kristen. coming up in 20 minutes we'll hear from iraqis who are living in our area, but they are

fearful of what isis may do that are still in the war-torn country. news 4's kristen wright had that story. that is coming up a little later at 6:25. right now police are calling off the lookout for an suv spotted at a maryland gas station where a snack shop clerk was killed. they tell us they've located the driver now who they thought may have witnessed the crime, but at this point there are still no arrests. surveillance video shows a robber walking into the exxon snack shop in hanover and immediately he tried to start shooting. raj kumar was killed. he was a father sending money back to his family in india. new at 5:00, a virginia teacher will be spending more than a decade in prison after he pled guilty to child pornography charges. a judge has now sentenced ralph conrad to 13 years, plus 20 years of supervised probation. police arrested him last september on charges of child porn possession and distribution. conrad had been a teacher at

giving the mcdonalds gifts until the investigation began in early 2013. he says bere that he welcomed the support the mcdonalds were giving his company. >> reporter: indeed paul perito had a lot to say on the witness stand. he was star scientific's board chairman when johnny williams was ceo. he testified at first he was wary when williams told him he was befriending bob and maureen mcdonald in hopes of getting support for their new dietary supplement, but perito was won over, especially when he went to an august 2011 lunch at the governor's mansion with university researchers on the very day star launched a product. he says johnny williams was on cloud nine, and even though bob mcdonald arrived late, he says the governor's presence provided gravitas for star. a different reaction in 2012

when he was asked whether maureen mcdonald could join star scientific's board of directors. he said i thought it was the worst idea i ever heard. it's a they canet of potential conflict. he says the first lady also lacked qualifications. williams delivered the bad news for maureen. what did johnny say about her reaction, asked the prosecutor. "he said she was really pissed." his comments weren't the only ones that added to the unflattering portrait that emerged this week of maureen mcdonald. the governor's deputy chief of staff, matt conrad, answers why he first trained the lady to account for gifts even though she's not required to complete the forms. her own attorney pressed conrad. were there any concerns the first lady was putting gifts in closets, hoarding gifts? conrad, "i had heard that there were piles of gifts or things that were being put in closets that needed tobacco knowledged or determined who they were intended for." but conrad's parting words were praise for bob mcdonald. >> in my experience with the governor is that he is a fine man who did a lot of good for

the community, and i'm grateful to have served him. >> back to paul perito for a moment. coming up on news 4 at 6:00 i'll tell you about the emotional call he says he got from johnny williams just after an fbi agent and trooper showed up on johnny williams' doorstep. now a look at hawaii after the second tropical storm to ever hit the island. even after a deluge of rainfall, the threat is not over yet. it's already back to school for crooks. we'll find out where a group of thieves got away with a major haul. and georgetown wants to boost its image as a hangout hotspot. the plan to put out chairs for lounging didn't quite go as planned. doug kicking off backyard weather tonight in rockville. doug. guys, i tell you, a beautiful afternoon here across the region. a great evening. we've got some great weather too, but something that we're watching, take a look, we'll show you what's happening out there right now. we have some clear skies around our region, but look down to the

in some cases it was quite extensive. >> sashd customers lost power, and those people are getting back on-line quickly because the weather is cooperating. the winds have completely died down here, and it's essentially just a steam bath right now. rainfall has been anywhere from the three inches wave had near hilo to over a foot in some places in nearby mountain locations. that rain is continuing. clouds still shrouding as well, and we expect that rainfall to continue at least for the foreseeable future. now, in terms of what's next, we've got to look down the road at julio, but right now the computer models are telling us this storm has shifted to the north a little bit so, we don't think any type of appreciatable impact for the island chain will be expected come this weekend. so we will look back at iselle and put this in the history books. only the second tropical storm to ever make landfall in the big island. the only one to come in and landfall from the east. reporting from hilo, i'm meteorologist jim cantore.

that is related to a recall that we first told you about back in june. gm is telling customers to leave some of those suvs outdoors until they're fixed because they could catch fire when left unattended. this recall affects nearly 200,0002006 and 2007 suvs, including chevy trailblazers and gmc envoys. the issue? the power window switches on the suvs can overheat and catch fire. we were out a few days ago working on another story pertaining to recalls when we found a man and his gmc envoy being one of the vehicles in question affected. >> i was running here. that's obvious. >> he is right. we don't want to hear that. in this case remember the recall very serious. so serious enough, in fact, that general motors is asking people who own these vehicles to leave
