>> thank you, pat. we have a developing story out of columbia south carolina. the shooting you may have heard about at the university of south carolina. it is now being investigated as a murder/suicide. but the school won't say if it involves students. gunshots sent students scrambling this afternoon. people in the nearby statehouse were warned to stay inside. the last time there was a shooting on this campus was 1979. it occurred during a frat party. a virginia-based insurance company is the latest to fall victim to a security breach. anthem says tonight anyone who's been covered in the past or present is at risk. >> and that could be up to 80 million people. nbc news justice correspondent pete williams joins us with a look at this. i mean here we go again. is it just the hackers are that good or our fire walls are that bad? >> well, a little of both, probably. anthem the is a company based in the midwest but it does have customers in virginia and 13 other states. the company has a tabs of 80

million current and former customer and employees and it's trying to go through it a and figure out in how many cases was information breached. it says it's going to start e-mailing customers and sending letters, but this is going to take a couple weeks to work out. information that wasn't obtained the company says is credit card numbers or medical information, but it says there was a trove of information that was taken out, names, dates of birth, social security number addresses, e-mail addresses, and also employment information. the very kind of thing that's of most value to people trying to steal your identity. so the company says it will offer free identity protection and credit monitoring to people who were affected and the experts say, in fact there's not a lot that customers can do about this right now because if there's no way to prevent a crime from happening with someone tale stealing your data although one suggestion is that if you worry about this you can call the credit reporting

agencies equifax and the others and ask them to freeze your social security number. that way nobody can open a credit card or get a line of credit using your social security number by the way, including you, you would have to call them back and ask them to unfreeze it that's one possibility. >> why not. that could work. >> good advice. from days to week often it takes that long for people to find out about these breaches but a committee in the senate is trying to come up with a bill to create more transparency. what are the likely chans that's going to happen? >> there's a lot of interest in trying to get more cybersecurity legislation. that's one possibility. the other is more sharing of information from the corporate world to the fbi. but the fbi is giving this company credit. usually the companies find out from the investigators that they've been hacked. in this case they say anthem discovered it itself notified the fbi, which could then start investigating quickly, which can help when you're trying to follow the lead. >> okay. pete williams thank you so much.

>> you bet. >> always good to see you. we are getting another look now at some of the items police seized from a home filled with squatters in prince george's county. check out these pictures we got in today. the officers say they recovered ecstasy pill nearly 50 grams of marijuana, a stolen motorcycle stolen gun, and a stolen rolls-royce-styled golf cart. seven have now been arrested for taking up residence in this abandoned mansion in the exclusive tantallon neighborhood. it was the second time in six months this home has been raided. new leads in a group attack near a busy metro station. police are still looking for six kids or teens accused of assaulting a woman near the columbia heights station last month. officers did make one arrest on january 30th charging a boy with assault. three girls were arrested and charged on monday. a total of ten people were accused in this attack. >> we should have an update soon on how the kennedy center expansion project is moving

>> the proposed merger is directly counter to the competitive marketplace and is bad for consumers because it could reduce reliability, raise rates and risk public safety. >> exelon issued a statement in response to today's protest -- "exelon and pepco holdings welcome input from all stake holders in our proposed merger. the commitments we have offered in the merger will strengthen our support for the community." five defendants are convicted for their roles in that massive smuggling scheme in the baltimore jail. this happened in 2013 at the baltimore city detention center. federal authorities say the gang members of the black gorilla family ruled that jail. they smuggled in cell phones so they could direct crimes outside, and they were having sex with the guards even impregnating them. 44 people, inmates and corrections officer, have been indicted now. this case sparked harsh criticism. it led to some personnel and technology changes in maryland's correction facilities.

you look in your rear-view mirror and see red and blue lights on a car following close behind. most cases it's a cop and you need to pull over. >> tonight virginia state police are warning of a man they tell us was impersonating an officer trying to stop cars. david culvert is live along i-66 in prince william county with what police are asking from us all. david? >> reporter: jim and wendy, this is where police say that suspected fake cop was trying to pull people over. this part of 66 right here in prince william county. but it was the suspicion from another driver that ultimately led to an arrest. looking at a mark police cruiser, not difficult to see this is a legitimate squad car. but it's the unmarked cars like this chevy impala that can be a little tougher to judge.

especially when you compare this real police cruiser to this one. notice it's even got the red and blue lights. but virginia state police say this one is a fake. the driver 23-year-old sherif ahmad. police tell me another driver was cruising down this part of 66 near haymarket when they noticed a white impala with blue and red lights trying to pull people over. he was suspicious so he went ahead and called 911. that other driver gave police the license plate number. they found ahmad a few blocks from his home sitting in the mock cruiser. they want to know if he's tried this on others. one trooper says these cases are frustrating. >> it kind of puts suspicion in the public eye as who's legitimate and who's not and it makes it a little tough for us to kind of break that barrier when we do stop the vehicle. >> reporter: last week this man was arrested accused of trying to pull over an off-duty cop. mark holt pleaded guilty to carrying a fictitious i.d. police found he had fake federal

badges. he'll be sentenced next month. in arlington police still looking for a man who last october is said to have tried luring women into his car, not clear who or where he is tonight. i have three daughters so i'm very aware of that stuff. >> reporter: we met peter passing through this rest stop. he's extra cautious should someone be impearce nating an officer. >> i'm sure i wouldn't stop. >> reporter: you'd keep going. >> absolutely correct. >> reporter: but is that really the best practice? ahead at 6:00 we look at what you should and shouldn't do should you be unsure about those blue lights behind you. we're live along i-66 in prince william county. i'm david culvert, news4. it's the end of the road for radioshack. the electronics chain filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy earlier this evening. radioshack will sell up to 2,400 stores. the retailer reported assets of
