>> reporter: police say devon wallace was in an argument with an acquaintance at the house an at some point left to get a gun and sprayed the home when he returned. >> these are my next-door neighbors, it's not like it's across the street or down the block. i really don't feel like it's okay to feel okay right now. >> reporter: wallace is wanted on first-degree murder charges. prince george's county police department are offering $25,000 reward for any information that leads to his arrest. reporting live in landover, maryland, zachary quick zachary. a ride is out of service after stalling midride. chopper 4 was over the scene. 75 feet in the air when it happened. some were sitting upright, others tilted.

minds ready to be molded for productive futures, but at least one state official says maybe all that can wait a couple of weeks. let kids be kids and let summer be summer. that's part of the reasoning behind the state comptroller who wants to start the school year after labor day instead of in august. some folks agree on that point. >> i'm a big fan of starting school after labor day and to make the most of the summer. >> reporter: since there's a labor day break anyway, some people say the continuity of a post-labor day start makes sense. >> i think it's better than going to the school and then coming back after labor day. >> you always take that monday off right after so it makes sense. would they end later, i guess, in june? >> reporter: that's one of the myriad of questions raised by the proposal and there are other issues to be considered as well. >> there are things we haven't thought about, day camps and

summer programs for kids. >> reporter: there are two dozen school systems across the state which may have their own unique considerations and of course a shorter school year would mean less formal education time. >> there's more times for the students to take advantage of the time for study, to learn more. >> reporter: that's one oe reasons the idea isn't popular with teachers unions and some educators, but guess who likes the idea unconditionally and who can sum it up in one word. >> fun. >> reporter: i'll tell you who else is behind this, the entertainment industry, theme parks and of course the hotel industry. they say millions of dollars in extra revenue could be coming their way and that's more tax revenue for the city. they're going to kick this off at ocean city at the lifeguard museum on thursday in o.c. right now we're live in montgomery county, derrick ward, news4. back to you. right now prince george's county prosecutors are presenting their closing arguments in a teenager's murder trial, trevon bennett is accused

i'm kristen wright at the live desk. we've just learned that a major department store accused of racially profiling customers will be penalized. barney's will have to pay $525,000 in costs, fees and penalties. new york's attorney general is also ordering barney's to hire an anti-profiling consultant and adopt a new anti-profiling policy. two african-american customers were falsely accused of credit card fraud while shopping at barney's flagship store in new york city. at the live desk, i'm kristen wright. barbara, back to you. we're staying on top of a developing story in the middle east. we haven't seen any new racket fire in gaza this morning. a cease-fire seems to be holding. egypt is trying once again to get a long-term peace deal between the two sides. negotiators in cairo brokered a 72-hour cease-fire that started yesterday. we're also keeping a close eye on the crisis in iraq.

iraq's new president is charging the deputy speaker of parliament with forming a new government in the next 30 days. the move is a very public snub of prime minister al maliki. overnight he announced he will not resign. this comes as the u.s. launches its fourth round of air strikes taking out armored vehicles and key mortar positions that belong to isis. in the meantime the state department has already started evacuating some staff from iraq as a precaution. for more on the assistance the u.s. is giving iraq, we are joined by nbc's political writer carrie dan. good morning, carrie. >> good morning. >> president obama is on vacation but i assume he's getting frequent updates on what's going on in iraq? >> that's right. he left on saturday. when he left, he offered some brief remarks on the iraq situation and he warned the american people this is a long-term project. he said i expect this is going to take some time in dealing with the situation there. >> now, what's the american public response to his calling

for a luong-term solution there? >> obviously the hangover from the previous iraq conflict is still -- in april nbc news and wall street journal did a poll asking people do you think that the iraq war was worth it. 71% of people said no, it wasn't worth it. now we are here right back again. this is the last place the president wants to be. he ran on a platform of getting out of iraq and was able to say we had and now we're right back there. >> of course a lot of people know the iraq war was not president obama's war. but hillary clinton is complaining that obama shouldn't -- she doesn't like the way he's handling the whole situation right now. what did she have to say? >> in an interview that was published over the weekend, she said that if obama had armed the syrian rebels in a different conflict in the middle east, then that would have prevented these al qaeda offshoots like isis, the one that's causing the trouble in iraq, it would have prevented them from being emboldened. she was it was a failure of the

obama administration to fail to arm those syrian rebels to boost up that opposition. so obviously this is probably the harshest language that we've seen. she's differentiating herself a lot from the obama administration. now, we knew before from her book and from some other comments, we knew that she had disagreed at the time on this issue of arm the syrian rebels, but this is very strong language coming from hillary clinton as she seems to be eyeing that 2016 run. >> so this is not the first time, as you just said, from the book. had there been other occasions when she's criticized president obama? >> she's differentiated herself on a couple of different things. one thing she said in this interview over the weekend that was very tough language, she seemed to get suggest the obama administration doesn't have an overarching principle for its foreign policy. great nations have to have an organizing principle, kind of implying the white house doesn't. that is very, very tough language as a former secretary of state. >> she is seen as somebody who has some knowledge of what's going on in countries around the

world. do you think most americans are listening to her and maybe thinking in terms of her as a presidential candidate m. >> i think that they probably are. obviously clinton knows if and when she runs for president, republicans will pile all of the foreign policy problems onto hillary clinton because of her role at the state department. you know, barack obama's approval ratings on foreign policy are even lower than his overall approval rating. it's at 36%. a really, really low number for a president. as much as hillary clinton tries to say, look, i disagreed with the president on a couple of different things, she knows and so do democrats that republicans are going to say, look, she was in the room when these crucial decisions were being made. she can't be trusted to be the commander in chief. so she's trying to prebutt that strategy now. >> we're going see candidates on all sides coming out now that we're getting closer to 2016. >> absolutely. >> thank you, carrie. for more from carrie and the rest of the nbc news political team, check out first read on

nbcnews.com. you're going to want to look up tonight, shooting stars will be visible in the night sky because of the meteor shower we're going to have tonight. you may have had trouble seeing them last night because of the super moon. did you see it? nasa said last night's super moon was the biggest and brightest in 20 years. it was big. a super moon happens when a full moon coincides with the moon's closest approach to the earth during it's elliptical orbit. storm team 4 meteorologist tom kierein joins us now. did you see that moon last night? >> i did. it was so bright when i got up at 1:00 in the morning and looked outside, it almost looked like daylight, it was so write. >> almost like the sun. >> that was 847 miles closer than the last super moon back in july. so even brighter than the brightest one of 2014. we're not going to see much of the moon tonight or any of the perseid meteors because we have a lot of clouds that have closed

well. i took this picture about 3:00 in the morning on sunday morning. you can see the moon shadows there and it was just so bright, the landscape was just flooded with that silvery moonlight. absolutely beautiful. here's the new timing on rain arrival. coming into the shenandoah valley, up toward comeberland, the areas in green are the zones where we could get rain moving through. there might be a little thunder but no storms. by 11:00 tonight we're into the metro area, so late evening we'll get some showers coming through. there may be a little thunder in the yellow zones and the panhandle of west virginia by 11:00 tonight. how much rain will we get by the time it all ends? we could get 3 inches or more in the orange zone and red zone from martinsburg, frederick, hagerstown to westminster and south of there a half inch to about an inch of rain likely, so it's welcome rain. each day this week the day with

the greatest chance of rain is tuesday, tomorrow. after that a small chance maybe of a lingering shower wednesday morning and maybe a zero chance of any more rain thursday into sunday going forward. temperatures will be cooler than average. highs tomorrow with that rain, only the upper 70s to around 80. then with the sun back and lower humidity returning on wednesday into the weekend, each day it's going to be just beautiful with low humidity. highs in the low to mid-80s. morning lows comfortable in the 60s, so another extended line of days in a row where we'll have lower humidity and cooler than average weather in august when we're usually sweltering in torrid heat and humidity. not this year. >> how do we luck out? >> i know. >> and what does it mean for winter? >> who knows, we may be paying. or maybe it's warmer. stay tuned. >> thanks a lot. comedian tracy morgan is still dealing with medical

crash that killed a fellow comedian and hurt two others back in june in new jersey. morgan now uses a walker to get around. his attorney, benedict morelli, explained to nbc's matt lauer why he thinks walmart is to blame for the crash and not just the driver. >> they're allowed to work for 14 hours total. he wasn't finished working when he had the accident. he was already driving 13 hours and 22 minutes and he was on his way and only 30 minutes out of bristol, pennsylvania. so he would have wound up working more than 14 hours to begin with. >> but is that kevin wilbur's responsibility? isn't is his responsibility? why is it walmart's responsibility? >> because he works for walmart. >> in a statement to nbc news, walmart called the accident, quote, a terrible tragedy. the retail giant says, quote, we are cooperating fully with the ongoing investigation and working to resolve all of the remaining issues as a result of the accident. the truck driver pleaded not guilty to death by auto and

assault by auto charges. and right now investigators are reviewing video of a deadly crash involving nascar star tony stewart. he struck and killed kevin ward jr. on a new york racetrack saturday night. detectives say right now it's not a criminal investigation. >> there is no evidence in hand or no facts that would support a criminal charge or support criminal intent on the part of anybody. >> we could learn today when ward's funeral will be. drivers across the sport are paying their respects in person and online. well, take a look at the falling gas prices. one of our producers found gas at $3.03 at the sheets near spotsylvania hospital in virginia. aaa says the national price for gas dropped 20 cents since june. a spokesman says crude oil is trading well below $100, leaving
