middle of the road with a handgun. we had a police car shot at tonight. yes, i think that was a proper response tonight, maintain officer safety and public safety. >> and this is new, the victim was taken to the hospital by other protesters because ambulances couldn't get to the scene. the shooter is still on the run. meanwhile, seven people were arrested overnight. as you heard the captain there, a police car was shot at, but no officers were hit. at this time we are learning federal investigators did not want to release this. that video of brown allegedly robbing a liquor store before he was killed. according to a law enforcement source, they feared at the point that more violence in what's already a volatile situation could erupt. the justice department reportedly prevented its release on thursbut the local police insisted and released the video on friday. sources say federal investigators had a copy of the tape, but had no plans of ever releasing it. on this sunday morning, pastors and preachers from

across the country are leaving their congregations and heading to ferguson. local pastor reverend alvin hairing is among those traveling to missouri. the group is part of a national campaign of faith leaders who work with communities where violence has occurred. in ferguson, their goal is to use faith-based community activism to help start the healing process. >> you have a community where folks are struggling to have their voice heard, struggling to have access to the tools of power and tools of government and essentially you have a community that has been operated in very much in very real ways like a plantation. folks are fed up, they are tired. >> says his organization will try to address those underlying issues in that community and they'll stay there as long as they are needed. coming uph morning on "meet the press", missouri, state governor jay nixon will answer questions about the state of emergency in ferguson. baltimore's mayor stephanie

rollings blake will be on the round table and see "meet the press" at 10:30 right after "news 4 today." we are working to get to more questions this morning about how a little girl died in camp springs. she was caught in the middle of this shoot-out between her father and the police. a violent conclusion to a very violent chase. take a look at this video. this is the father's car. you can see right there a few bullet holes right through the driver's door. news 4's darcy spencer tells us right now how police are not sure just how the little girl died. >> reporter: this is the car where a suspect and his 3-year-old daughter were shot to death. the question still unanswered, who shot the little girl? >> we don't know how she was struck by gunfire. we don't know if that was a wound inflicted by her biological father or something that occurred in the two exchanges of gunfire with police. >> reporter: it started at this home on farmer place. police say the suspect shot and gravely wounded the little

girl's grandfather and great grandmother. one is believed to have been shot where you can see these evidence markers outside. the suspect grabbed his daughter then took off in a nissan altima. >> you just heard one shot? >> yes, yes. yeah. that's all i heard, one shot. like a pop. >> reporter: police quickly caught up with the suspect and chased him to branch avenue a couple of miles away. he gets out and exchanges gunfire with police. he gets back in his car, but then loses a wheel. he pulls over a short distance away. that's when there's another deadly exchange of gunfire. >> total of six police officers who fired their duty weapons during the course of this ongoing exchange of gunfire. we believe that to be five prince george's officers and one maryland state trooper. >> reporter: the gunman is dead, his daughter more tally wounded. she died at the hospital. they're trying to figure out whose bullet struck the girl and whether the officers who fired

knew she was there. >> there's a lot of cross-communication going on there. i can't say they knew or didn't know the girl was inside the car. >> reporter: darcy spencer, "news 4 today." right now, the officers who fired at the car are on administrative leave. news 4 has learned the man who died had a history of problems with the home in camp springs, including an accusation that he once cut the phone lines there. we expect to hear more from prince george's county police later today. you may have to rethink family vacations to ocean city. why renting a beach house could soon be out of the question. plus, just how quickly you could hear a decision. >> and the return of weather that feels more like august. more humidity means more chances of rain. chuck is back to tell us what that means for your seven-day forecast. >> and we are staying on top of developments in ferguson, missouri. a tense night between police and protesters. keep it here for more on this breaking news situation.

. many of you travel to ocean city on your family vacation and you may have to change your plans if you decide to rent a house for the week. "the baltimore sun" is reporting ocean city is considering banning housing rentals in certain communities after they got complaints of rowdy parties and crowded streets. the city's planning and zoning commission will discuss several options at a hearing later on tuesday. that is going to largely alter a lot of plans. >> lot of people not going to be happy about that. >> all i know is that we used to go there for beach week. >> oh, yeah. >> back in the day and -- >> you would be part of the -- >> you're part of the problem. >> part of the problem. >> it's a lot worse i'm sure these days, right? >> right. >> a good day to head to the beach. i feel like we need to take advantage of this awesome weather we've had, right?

>> you bet. >> summer will creep back up on us. >> for better or worse summer is all but over. two weeks left in the month of august and it will be labor day weekend. that's it for summer. we've gotten away with a summer not filled with 90 degrees days like we've come to expect. only 17days this summer have been 90 or higher. compare that to the summer of 2010, we had 67 days over 90 that year. 17 seems like a paltry number. 50 days fewer than the 2010 summer. i appreciate it. here's a look outside this morning. there's the national shrine of the immaculate conception in northeast washington. a bit of a patchy orange in our early morning sky, otherwise mostly cloudy out there. no rain really to speak of on the radar just yet, but that may be changing a bit as we go later on today. 73 at national airport, 68% humidity. the humidity is a little higher now than yesterday and that's

just going to continue to creep up up up as we go through the rest of the day. 64 now in leesburg and martingsburg, 63 in winchester, 64 front row, get over into the old line state of maryland and from rosariville to brandy wynn upper 60s and upper 60s in our bayside communities annapolis to the islands. hourly temperatures, low 60s and 70s for now. we'll see a quick rise, mid 70s by 9:00 a.m. 80 degrees before noontime and most of the afternoon is going to be plenty warm and humid around here, temperatures mid to upper 80s. so that's going to feel a little bit uncomfortable. heat index pushing 90 degrees across northern virginia. this little area of low pressure and a cold front to our north, that's going to make sure that our skies stay mostly cloudy today. not much in the way of sunshine. but rain chances, though that looks like it's going to be a big chance for rain, it's really not. a lot of this is going to try up as it comes down over the

mason-dixon line. rain chances today will be highest across northern maryland and there's still at least a chance of rain here in the metro area. our rain chances are 30% in the metro, more like the 30 or 40% range across northern maryland. the weather impact on your day, fairly low. hit and miss rain chances. best timing for the rain about 2:00 and 8:00. here's our future weather forecast. cloudy skies, mainly dry up through 1:00 this afternoon, but here at 3:00, there's that hit and miss rain shower chance that fades away after about 7:00 or 8:00 this evening. here's your first check of the seven-day forecast. for better or worse, it's going to look a lot rainier than it's going to be. there's a chance for rain today, tomorrow, tuesday, wednesday, thursday and i honestly could have put it on friday and saturday as well. high pressure just down to our south is going to keep the humidity pump going. rainiest days likely to be tuesday and wednesday. >> wow. >> summer is still here. >> it's still here. you can wear shorts in the rain, that's summer. >> thank you, chuck.

>> next up, "reporters notebook" for you. that is a look at stories affecting our community now. >> we're going to be back in 15 minutes with more on the morning's top stories. >> good morning. welcome to "reporters notebook." i'm pat lawson muse. we begin this morning in virginia. where the prosecution rests. rising credit card debt loans and phone calls were front and center last week at the trial of former virginia governor bob mcdonnell and his wife. prosecutors provided details about the couples' finances, their debt and how loans from jonnie williams helped reduce that kebts. they provided records suggesting the governor possibly knew about money from williams and the phone calls between the mcdonnells suggest they weren't estranged during key periods as the defense has suggested. joe madison, what are your thoughts about the evidence and testimony presented? >> i think the jury is going to have a hard time being convinced that they were so estranged they didn't know about each other's

finances. you would almost have to be separated from your spouse to be if that position. and, you know, this doesn't play well with the governor if he seeks re-election and the reason i bring that up, can you imagine the campaign of his opponent. you don't even know what's going on in your own household with your expenses, let alone trying to run a country or a commonwealth. >> what are your thoughts about the prosecution's case as we begin to start the defense? >> i think what the prosecution is trying to show, as you mentioned earlier, this couple did know what was going on, they were still a couple. when the trial began, they came into the court separate, i think they were trying to give the impression that we're having problems, you know, mrs. mcdonnell had a crush on jonnie williams and i think what you're seeing here is that it doesn't look like that's the case.

if you go from having debt of $91,000 one year and the next year you're down to $31,000 and you're getting loans from jonnie williams, i think the prosecution is showing that here's the trail of togetherness for lack of a better word. and i think once the defense sort of takes over, they're going to have to try to knock down a lot of that evidence that's been put before the jury and the public in many ways. >> dave? >> and they're going to have to try to knock down the perception that is growing here and the perception from the people that i talked to who watched trials is very bad. it's an unseemly amount of money that the governor and his wife were getting. but the question comes back to, and i raised it last week, where is the pro quo or the quid in the pro quo. did the money affect the govern governor's ability to be a governor and did this lead him to give jonnie williams special favors. he did have the party for him.

there was stuff put on the program, at the dinner table, but the defense will focus on that and use that as their main kujle against the prosecution. >> let the wedding bells ring, same-sex couples could begin exchanging vows in virginia. a federal appeals court has refused to stay a decision lifting the ban on gay marriage. earlier this month, the appeals court ruled the ban is unconstitutional. virginia's attorney general says licenses could be issued this week. looks like it could be a really busy week in virginia ? >> well, it could go to the supreme court, but the attorney general really isn't saying we'll appeal to the supreme court. i think what you're seeing here is this sort of is a slow ball that's moving. and i think virginia is probably sort of getting on board and the officials and attorney general is saying, do we want to put our frgs into fighting something energies into fighting something, do we want to waste our time taking this to the supreme court when we see 13

other states and the district of columbia, they're already there. so it may sort of be moving in that direction and i think because the attorney general isn't clearly saying we will appeal this to the supreme court, he's really saying something. and not saying anything. >> what do you think about that? >> i think virginia or elsewhere as this snowball keeps moving this is heading towards the supreme court and we could have a showdown ruling there or we could have a preliminary ruling as before. >> bowser's growing war chest. muriel bowser's fund-raising is ahead of that and her economy stigs. she still has more than 1 come to spend between now and november. david catania has 463,000. carol schwartz reported about 65,000, half is her own money. adrian seniority raised $5 million in 2010 and lost. how would you compare money in that race to this race?

>> it's different in the sense that venti was sort of running against his -- the own -- his own image the image he was projecting out to the community that he was sort of -- there was distance between him and the community. bowser has the money, she's defeated the incumbent, so she's really not running against anyone really but herself. i think her aim is sort of i've got the money, we can slow walk this. i know that there will be debates at some point but because she has enough money to sort of outadvertise ka tain ya and carol schwartz it makes it a little different that she's already run the primary where venti's situation was a little different because it was animag >> joe, she's got the money, but she's also got a delap taipidat southeast washington building managed by supporters and accusations she stood in the way of how that project has been

managed and then she's got the mayor and david catania calling for hearings when she's rejecting the idea. >> i think what's going to happen is, when we really get into the heart of the campaign and that will be after september, there will be the debate, all of this is going to come out in the debates and she'll be able to defend herself. she may take a couple hits, but let me tell you, money is the mother milk of politics. we know that. and she is way ahead. plus, she's a strong democrat. and that is going to play also in the district. >> and dave, union leaders endorsed her this week as expected because they tend to be democratic. but the current newspapers and david catania said she should give back a $20,000 contribution she got from one of the former managers of that apartment building. do you think she should, that she will? >> right now she's in a position of not making a misstep and she'll have to weigh carefully whether the money is now

tainted. and in an effort to release herself from any suspicion she gives it back. on the other hand i'm told by people watching the campaign if she does that might be an admission she thinks maybe something is wrong. she has to be careful she doesn't make a misstep. so much momentum going for her any tremor, any little trip, could be weighed way out of proportion. >> the district is 75% democratic in terms of registered voter, in the primary only 27% voted. so part of her aim is going to have to be turnout because catania is a formidable figure. she's got to make sure she has democrats turning out it to vote. when you only have a third of voters coming out that's a problem in the democratic primary. we'll be right back. stay with us.

welcome back. in maryland, the news 4 i-team

has found hundreds more unaccompanied immigrant children arriving in the past few weeks. a federal report shows that more than 600 have been placed with families since july 1st. officials say they've accepted so many because of the large salvadoran population within the state. since january 2800 have been placed in maryland, the same number in virginia. dave, do you have questions about that? >> well, i think there will be questions. can the state effectively deal with it, what about children going to school, services. any number of things with the additional amount of immigrants coming in. can the state handle it. has it bitten off more than it can chew. the governor seems to be assuring people they're handling it, you know, on a case-by-case basis, but the fact they'll be going to homes, won't be warehoused, the fact that the state can take a certain amount of children, i would assume she's looked at the figures they're getting. right now, there doesn't seem to be a real outcry. the question is, when the bills come due, will that stay. >> i think, you know, if you

look at it, it's really -- it's a partisan issue and if you look at the comments from governors in different states, republican governors will take the position that we want these children cared for, but we don't think they should be here being cared for. on the democratic side like o'malley and other governors and deval patrick and massachusetts where they just pass legislation really to officially welcome these children into the state and have services for them, i think dave's right, it's going to get down to economics at some point. i mean if the bills start coming in and from a public relations standpoint it becomes we're putting money into children that aren't legal citizens, yet our schools, our roads and all these things can't be taken care of for those who are actually legal, then it becomes sort of a problem and right now i don't think we're there yet. i think the problem now is just sort of one side says no, the other side says yes, and it's a national issue, obama becomes his problem. >> speaking of the president and o'malley, this takes o'malley off the hook. he was criticized by the white

house because of what he said and where we want them, where we don't want them. now he can point to the fact that maryland has stepped up to the plate and it's our citizens that have stepped up to the plate. i mean that's what we keep forgetting. these are private citizens saying we'll take them in. we understand they'll be part of our culture. i think they should be applauded. >> handling sex assaults. johns hopkins university has joined the list of schools under federal scrutiny for the way they handled sex assault complaints. the university president has sent out an e-mail that was last tuesday alerting students and faculty the department of education has opened an investigation into complaint filed earlier this year. that complaint was about the way hopkins responds to these sex assaults. you've been studying this case. what do we know about it? >> the issue is the president sends eat mail out but he was not -- the school was not proactive. you had several young ladies

that filed complaints saying that there was an alleged gang rape on one of the fraternity house in the spring during a party of 2013 and that the university did not notify students that this had happened. that's a clear violation under title 9 of the act that says universities have to let students know if there's been any crime on campus. e-mail trail has shown that the university was talking about we may be violating parts of title 9. it was very important here, i think the underbelly of this story is that johns hopkins receives more federal funds for research and development than any school in the nation and if they find that they violated title 9 stipulations that money can be taken back. it's never happened but that could happen. >> these schools have been slow responding. >> oh, slow is not -- oh. that's not the word. let me tell you, the other underbelly of this is women are very upset, not just at johns hopkins, but across this country. this is a school's worst

nightmare. because the reason they're slow to respond is student recruitment. how do you recruit if you have the problem of sexual harassment or sexual assault on your campus that's why they haven't responded. this is a major movement and it's happening across the country. johns hopkins because of the amount of money they get they're in the bull's eye on this one. but let me tell you, women are not playing when it comes to universities responding quickly and with authority. >> dave some. >> senators mccaskill and gillibrand as they were active on military sexual abuse have got legislation pushed in congress now to deal with this, to put more pressure on campuses, to be more proactive to not handle it with the campus cops, to let other perhaps better equipped legal entities, police entities take care of the problem and not shove it under the sflug how do you feel as a parent. >> shocked. >> if you're sending your kids

to a school where you find out this is happening? >> well, what you want is transparency. you don't want it to happen. many of these young ladies who, especially in the johns hopkins issue, one young lady tried to commit suicide twice and was diskourmged from reporting it by campus officials. you know, you figure the parents have to be concerned even at a school that's a top notch school like john hop kins. >> thanks, gentlemen. >> thank you. >> thank you for being with us. that's "reporters notebook." i'm pat lawson muse. stay with us, "news 4 today" continues.

♪ ♪ ♪

. breaking news in ferguson, missouri. people ignoring a curfew after

the governor declared a state of emergency. one person ended up getting shot and there were more arrests overnight. one big question, will the situation get worse before it gets better. >> jing us now to talk about the rising tension, andrea mitchell who will be moderating "meet the press" today. >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> the curfew, so much for that. right? >> the curfew did work to a certain extent. smaller crowds. you have to distinguish between the protesters outraged by the lack of transparency they say from their own police department, not knowing anything about the incident exactly what happened when michael brown was shot and killed, and what happens particularly on friday when the local police revealed what had happened supposedly in the convenience store but still haven't talked about the shooting death. so that -- there are protesters who are really angry and then there are the opportunists who have come in and have looted left last night but this erupted again friday in anger at the police after a quiet night on
