couple blocks from the intersection of maryland and bladensburg avenues. a man got into the driver's car, demanded cash. the two got into a fight. at some point, the man shot the driver in the back and ran off after taking the cash from the car. some area drivers may not be getting the message about illegally passing a school bus. and they're paying for it. officials in montgomery county released new numbers today. they say that since the county installed cameras on 25 of its buses in january, 733 tickets have been issued. that's more than six times the number issued by the cameras in the three neighboring counties. this year. >> since we have so many violations, since there are so many people passing these school buses, unlawfully, maybe we should expand the program. maybe we should put more cameras out there. >> while the chief says he is more open to more school bus cameras, the montgomery county council has another plan. news4's mark segraves will have more on that part of that story, coming up tonight on news4 at

>> reporter: the candidates clashed over maryland's health exchange. >> it wasn't pretty. it was difficult work. >> the only thing we were a leader in is failure. we're the first -- we have wasted $288 million on a website that doesn't work. >> reporter: education funding is a hot button issue for voters. >> you're calling for a $450 million cut in school construction. that's like actutulip grove in bowie, clarks middle school in montgomery county. >> everything you just said is not true. i am not planning to cut one penny in school construction costs and multiple news reports just today and yesterday have criticized you for this ridiculous false charge. >> reporter: brown accuses hogan of attempting undermine maryland's tough gun control law. >> "washington post" expose shows in a private discussion with gun rights activists, you said to them that you're going to roll back the provisions of the firearms safety act, which is just devastating, it would be

devastating for maryland. >> my opponent is running television commercials, acting as if i'm in favor of assault weapons in school yards and shopping carts and that's not the case. >> reporter: these democratic state lawmakers who support brown attacked hogan's statements on the gun law. >> he has said that he will roll it back. and he basically was not truthful. he lied. >> reporter: then i asked mr. hogan directly. what do you say about making a deal, a secret deal with conservative gun owners. >> it's complete nonsense. no truth to that whatsoever. >> reporter: both candidates left feeling they gave voters a clear choice. >> great debate. >> i think the voters of maryland are going to win on november 4. that's what i think. >> reporter: the candidates for governor will meet in one more televised debate this weekend in baltimore. and the election is just 22 days away. wendy, jim? >> we're staying on top of all of the big races for you in our region this election cycle. we have a section dedicated to our website with everything you'll need to know for the upcoming mayor's race. you can find it on our home page, nbcwashington.com.

still damp in many places but it's going to stay dry. the storm system itself -- here's the rain we saw earlier today. this is the next storm. and look at this line of thunderstorms, tornado watches across parts of the south, tornado warnings. three tornadoes reported so far. that whole line is moving our way. this is what we're going to be expecting. this will be during the day on wednesday. so what do we expect wednesday evening into the overnight? flooding possible, chance for power outages as well as some very strong winds. we're going to talk much more about our severe weather threat and what comes not just in the next 24 but next 48 hours as well. holding out home for hannah graham one month after she vanished. the renewed plea from her parents tonight. legalizing marijuana in the district. even if voters approve the measure next month, there could be a delay in lighting up.

have you seen the news about barbara comstock? first, the washington post reported, barbara comstock failed to report eighty-five thousand in income. now, we learn, barbara comstock pushed a client's issues in the virginia legislature and didn't disclose it. barbara comstock shepherded a trio of bills through the legislature and into law, but barbara comstock never officially disclosed that all the while she was being paid thousands of dollars. no wonder she hid it.

these are newly released pictures of hannah graham, the missing uva student from fairfax county. her parents gave us these pictures as the search for

hannah hit one month today. jesse matthew is accused of abducting hannah, yet there is still no sign of her. >> northern virginia bureau chief julie carey returned to charlesville today as hannah's family issued a new statement. >> reporter: the renewed plea from hannah graham's parents today, end this nightmare. that is what search teams desperately want to do, which is why there is no holiday as they follow up on leads in targeted rural areas, taking no breaks in their efforts to find the 189-year-old. and no break either in the painful way for hannah's parents. john and susan graham issued a new written statement that reads in part, we truly appreciate the enormous effort that's being made to find hannah. it is heartbreaking for us that the person or persons who know where hannah is have not come forward with that information. it is within their power both to end this nightmare for all and to relieve the searchers of their arduous task. >> i had a class there last semester. >> reporter: on the uva campus, this second year student is

among a small group that stayed around over fall break. carolyn chisolm says it's troubling to realize a full month has passed since hannah was last seen on the downtown pedestrian mal. >> a month is a really long time. while it doesn't seem long for us, that's a really long time for her to be gone so it's sad. and i think we all want her back. >> reporter: chisolm and other young women we met today say they have changed their habits since hannah disappeared. they no longer walk alone at night. and they say the arrest of jesse matthew for the abduction of hannah graham brings slight reassurance. >> steps in the right direction. maybe somehow we can find that be a step closer to her. >> reporter: at the one-month mark too, virginia state police continue to investigate a forensic link between matthew and the abduction and death of morgan harrington in 2009. what's more, that case has a dna connection to a 2005 fairfax county rape. coming up on news4 at 6:00, you'll hear from a man who was involved in the search for morgan harrington back in 2009.

why he says both these cases should bring a new sense of resolve to this community. in charlottesville, i'm julie car carey, news4. it may take longer than expected for marijuana to become legal in the district. even if voters give it the go ahead next month. residents will get to vote on election day, a recent nbc marist poll found they're likely to approve it. but the d.c. council may put the brakes on legalization, at least for a little while. councilman david grosso, who is one of the biggest supporters of the legalizing pot, tells the "washington post," he'll introduce legislation to delay the implementation of initiative 71. that so the council can craft regulations that allow for the sale and taxation of pot. grosso says that could take until late 2015. all right. what is heading our way? we have had a drizzly monday. >> yeah. >> looks like we're not going to break out of it? >> it's thick out there. >> i think we'll break out during the day tomorrow, at least a little bit. but take a look outside right

now. this is the current shot we've got across our area. very dreary across our region during the day on our monday. looks like it's going to stay that way tonight and we have seen areas of drizzle or rather fog, too. gaithersburg reporting visibility less than a mile towards la ray. visibility less than a quarter mile. heads up as your make out and about. 68 degrees, the dew point at 62. any time the dew point and temperatures are close to one another, that's when you know a., you can see some rain. but b., you can see some fog and that's what we're seeing across our region right now. only 63 degrees in gaithersburg, 63 in baltimore. 71 in patuxent river. and west virginia, 76 degrees now. the reason, we have seen more sunshine to the west of the blue ridge. but we're still seeing low clouds in that area, as well. storm team 4 radar on the clear side. we're not going to be worried about much in the way of rain anymore tonight. will you need the umbrellas? i really don't think so. could be some areas of drizzle, but again most of the rain is out of here. that was with a little system that moved through earlier. that system now up towards new

york. this is the bigger system, though. and this is what's moving our way. take a look at these thunderstorms toward st. louis, memphis. a line of storms, numerous severe thunderstorm warnings, even tornado warnings and possible tornadoes that have touched down in that area. that whole system moves our way. let's talk about the timing of this. future weather times it out fairly well. tuesday, 8:00 a.m. that's tomorrow. some low clouds, a little in the way of fog there. but showers back to the west of the blue ridge. that's really about it. and watch what happens just about all day. just some cloud cover. the showers maintain themselves back towards the west. and they're going to be few and far between. we're not looking at much in the way of rain tomorrow. tomorrow may actually end up being a pretty nice day with some sun and much warmer temperatures. it's late on tuesday night into wednesday that we start to see things change. look at wednesday morning. start to see the showers moving in around the rest of the area. and then here comes not just the showers, but the rain. some of it will be heavy at times. we'll see a good chance for not only rain but thunderstorm activity too. and we're talking about rain that could -- that could total some pretty good amounts. veronica johnson live in the

storm center now. and vj, talking about the potential for flooding. not a huge threat here but there is a threat. >> yes, there is a threat again for wednesday. want to keep emphasizing wednesday. this is not for tomorrow. but we could see on that midweek day a handful of flash flood warnings issued. let's talk about it. the rain is going to really start as doug mentioned, tuesday late into early wednesday morning. so not a lot when we get into things at 9:00 a.m. wednesday. but for your wednesday evening rush and for thursday morning rush, a lot of rain will be making its way into our area. anywhere in the blue. that's an inch. anywhere in the red or orange, two inches or more could fall. hagerstown, manassas and fredericksburg and that means for that wednesday evening rush, could see ponding on area roads. maybe even some trouble getting around. doug? >> yeah, so i'll tell you, that's going to be a tough 24 hour period. tomorrow a little break from this. i think we'll maybe see some sunshine tomorrow. and if we do, i think we can get

up to 80 in manassas. 80 in freg. 79 in leesburg. much better weather during the day tomorrow than we have seen across our region today. next four days, 75 degrees on our wednesday. 0% chance of storms. 30% chance of just plain rain on thursday, light. temperatures around 70 degrees. we go to 71 on friday and then get this, wendy and jim, how about a beautiful weekend. >> all right. >> that's what we've got. at least lots of sunshine on saturday and sunday. >> we'll take it. >> thank you, doug. coming up in this week's cooley report, how effective robert griffin iii can be when he comes back to the team. about 22% of all passengers coming from those ebola-stricken countries come here through dulles. and this week things change here at dulles. i'm adam tuss. i'm adam tuss. we'll have the story, c

insurance, you're thinking of unforeseen events, whether your flight was cancelled or there is a death in the family. how does the ebola outbreak factor into that coverage? we called the u.s. travel insurance association to get some clarification on this. the ustia says if you purchase travel insurance for an upcoming trip, most companies offer what's called a comprehensive plan. that means that you're covered if your flight is cancelled. and for unseen events like a death in the family. it also includes bad weather and emergency medical care. that being said, most policies will not let you cancel out of fear. say if you are traveling to or near an ebola affected country. now some companies, some of them will let you cancel a trip if the government has issued a travel warning for that country. as it has for countries li like liberia and guinea. one way to get guaranteed coverage, add a cancel for any

reason option to your trip insurance. it let's you do just that. you can cancel for any reason at all. the bottom line here, the travel insurance association says check with the individual company policies and coverage varies. so it's really important, folks, to check and make sure that you are getting the coverage that you want. >> all right. very good to know, erika. thanks so much. >> absolutely, thank you guys. new numbers out tonight show more than two dozen people have died because general motors defective ignition switch. the car says 178 death claims have now been made since august. of that number, the families of 27 victims are eligible for compensation payments. gm will also pay out 25 people who have been seriously hurt in crashes. the company will accept claims until december 31st. more than $400 million has been set aside now to cover the costs. right now, a woodbridge mother is charged with felony child neglect. police tell us rachel brand was

of any possible charges yet. reporting live in oxon hill, tracee wilkins, news4. >> just an awful time there. tracee, thank you. right now, cleanup under way in southwest arkansas, where a powerful line of storms left behind a trail of destruction. >> we have learned that the storms killed a man who is a marine and a father of three. his wife is in the icu. weather channel meteorologist mike seidel is in ash down, arkans , >> reporter: a line of severe thunderstorms rolled through southwest arkansas before sunrise this morning. we're in little river county in the town of ashtown, just outside the town. and this is where we had ef-2 damage on the enhanced fujita scale, putting winds at 135 miles per hour. behind me you can see damage as the cleanup continues on what is now a breezy and cooler and more stable day here in arkansas. they have been cleaning up the corrugated aluminum, and across the street, a double wide was completely wiped off the foundation, and there was one death there. a family of five, a father and

mother, blown into the field. he did not survive. she is in icu at a nearby hospital. the three kids got by with bumps and bruises. they are now out of the hospital and with their grandparents. the storms that rolled through here are now heading east towards nashville. overnight towards birmingham and atlanta, tornado watches remain up and severe weather and weather that could cause more destruction like this is still a big concern right on through tuesday, all the way into the southeast. i'm weather channel meteorologist mike seidel in ashtown, arkansas. now back to you. >> well, and that same system -- some of its power is going to be depleted, but it's still heading our way, right, doug? >> yeah, it is headed our way and will be here wednesday. and that's really the thing. right now it's affecting portions back towards the mississippi river, and it's going to take almost 48 hours for it to finally move into our area. it's a very slow-moving storm. you can actually see the area of low pressure spinning right around kansas city. that's why the orioles game has been postponed tonight. happening out there towards kansas city.

you can see the rain just sitting on top of that. then you look at this very long line of thunderstorms. and, again, these are very strong and severe storms with tornadoes, potentially. we had tornado watches up and down this area. and that whole system will move our way. but it's going to take its time getting there. before that, right now we're just dealing with cloud cover. look at our reston camera, live. fog across our region. we are going to continue to see that fog tonight. fog around the d.c. metro area too, with a temperature of 68. dropping to around 61 by 9:00. 59 by 11:00. heads up for the fog. the biggest case. i'm not worried about rain at all tonight. storm team 4 radar is dry, but your impact this evening, damp roads, 65 degrees. we're going to be seeing fog through the evening hours. >> 63 degrees at 11:00. i do think it will be a little bit better early tomorrow morning as the winds will begin to increase ahead of our storm system. tomorrow, starting off with some clouds, some light areas of fog, but the showers remain back towards the west tomorrow. pretty much all day. i think for most of us tomorrow will be a dry afternoon. but then watch what happens

early on wednesday morning. we start to see the showers and even the storms making their way towards our western viewing area. and then by late in the day on wednesday, here come the storms, and, again, this line of storms could produce not just very heavy rain, but the potential is there for 30 to even 40-mile-an-hour winds. so that's something we'll continue to watch here in the storm system. a high of 75 on wednesday after tomorrow's high of 79. then 70 behind this system on thursday. good chance of some shower activity on thursday. but not a washout. friday, a high of 75. and right now the weekend looking much better. one of the nicer weekends we have seen. high temperatures near 74 on saturday. the average cell phone bill in the u.s. is 71 bucks. but now a new study reveals a big chunk of that goes to taxes and fees. if you live in virginia, you're paying about 12% in combined federal, state and local taxes and fees. maryland, that number is up to 18%. in the districts, 17%. so if you're doing the math, wireless customers end up paying rates about twice as much as the

average sales tax on other goods and service. drivers are finding some good news every time they fill up the price of gas keeps falling. the national average for a gallon of regular is $3.20. but in virginia the average is just $3.02. west virginia, $3.34. and the district averages $3.45. cnbc reports gas prices are expected to stay low for the near future, at least. that's because supplies are high and demand is flat. a high school football scandal is rocking a small town, and students head back to class today for the first time since seven classmates were arrested. hundreds of drivers still not getting the message on when it's okay to pass a school bus. i'm mark segraves, and i'll have that story coming up.

human brain cells growing in a petri dish. that means they can now watch how alzheimer's progresses in humans. access to the cells will allow scientists to quickly and inexpensively test new drugs that could slow the progression or even prevent the disease. now to a hazing scandal putting a town in new jersey in the national spotlight for all of the wrong reasons. kids went back to class today for the first time since seven of the school's football players were arrested. sheldon dutez has the story from sayreville, new jersey. >> reporter: students at sayreville high school filed into class this morning, several of their schoolmates were noticeably absent. seven members of the school's football team were suspended and facing serious criminal sex charges for allegedly hazing younger teammates. district superintendent richard labbe appeared on the "today" show, promising to find out if staff members were aware of wrongdoing. >> we have launched a holistic harassment intimidation,
