that is very likely. then the threat of some severe storms late in the day making monday a weather alert day. >> thanks. next up reporters notebook for you. >> we're back in 15 minutes. good morning, welcome to reporters notebook. i'm pat law son muse. we begin with gyrocopter the man who landed small helicopter on the capital, set off security scare and caused a brief lockdown p in the capital and had all of us scratching our heads. how in the world was he able to do that especially when talked tensively about doing it on his website and apparently had alerted authorities he was thinking about doing this. joe madison, your thoughts on the story. >> same as yours and broux. there's going to have to be a lot of explanation about this. this one of many breaches that have taken place. i don't know what else to say about this. especially when you remember the

young lady who is now dead who they killed her. she had a baby in the back seat. she had rammed the white house barrier, drove all the way down to the capital and the police jumped on her immediately. here is a man that not only landed in the capital but flew across some of the most sensitive areas in washington, d.c. >> neighbor that had something to do wit, the fact that the shooting of the young lady with a child in the back of the car. maybe the secret service was a little more hesitant here. i thought what was interesting, an official said if you had gotten closer maybe we would have had to shoot him down. he got pretty close. i don't know how much closer he needed to be. >> dave mcconnell how d'oh analysis this. >> lawmakers are dumbfounded,

highly incensed about this whole thing. the issue is these are supposed to be things that weren't going to happen. i've seen this movie before as a reporter there. several times after 9/11 we had warnings capital evacuated, planes got in the airspace. they assured us we've tape care of it. they can't get in there. here is a guy in a little gyrocopter going from gettysburg over the national mall onto the capital lawn. not only did he gets through as secretary of homeland security jeh johnson says below the radar, okay there were people certainly people on the ground in the washington city region could have looked up and said this guy isn't where he's supposed to be. i better get a call in. apparently none of that happened. the members i talked to obviously we're going to investigate it let's not get overwhelmed by this and start making scapegoats. the fact remains capitol police chief and social -- and secret service head are both under fire for making questionable

decisions, having questionable actions, now this happens. there's a lot of questions and very few answers. free range lawsuit, two montgomery county parents say they will sue because police and childhood services held their six and ten years old for hours after the youngsters were seen playing alone in a park. they say they feel targeted and insist their free range parenting style does not amount to neglect. bremante this was the second conflict between authorities and the parenting style. what do you make of that. >> what we have here is how much authority does the state have over parenting. we're all of a age, i know i am i would get on my bike disappear for hours. parents would say be home by dark. i was 10 years old. these parents are saying this is the same thing we're trying to teach. so what does the state do. it's a very subjective thing.

what is neglect? that's the slippery slope here. i think the big issue the parents are pushing, the kids were held in a police car three hours and doesn't eat for another six hours. the question is what do we call good parenting and how involved should the state be in determine thanksgiving. >> what do you call it good parenting. >> there's an awful lot of questions about this. i'm like bremante i used to go in my bike wooded areas, all kinds of things these kids are doing. that was then this is now. authorities are worried about a rash it seems like of abductions of children and the fear if we don't give some watch to them this is going to happen. there's also a huge fear of lawsuits being sued. we're a much more litigious country than we used to be much more suspicious. that's the reason for this. >> we live in a different time than the three of us grew up in

and did all of that. this is just a different time we live in. what bothered those parents is what all of you said they were held for three hours and didn't feed them. the officer could have used discretion and said look i know who these kids are, and he did, and could have taken them home to the parents. that's what the parents are upset about. one would think that's probably what the officers should have done. here we go are they being targeted in i would say probably so because they have irritated the police. the police will probably be free of any responsibility because what they have done is follow the book. >> you don't always have to be by the book. >> the question is 30 years ago would the police have stopped and picked these children up because that would have been considered the norm. >> no they would not.

they probably would have been on the street with a gang of kids with all of their friends. >> thirty years ago there were predators on the street. >> remember what the police officer said. he thought he saw a homeless man eyeing these children. that's where he may very well be cleared. careful where you park your car. predatory towing big business now in montgomery county and a big problem there. councilmember introduced a bill to crack down on aggressive towing. it would set flat rates for one thing and ban spotters folks out there looking for your car. joe. >> well the reality is there's a sign that says your car will there at a certain time. i guess we've all been towed. it happens. i don't know. this is another way to get dollars for a municipality. but the reality is i think the thing i find hilarious, they are

towing it within 60 seconds. they don't give you a chance to catch your breath and therein lies the problem. there's individual responsibility. you can read. you know when cars are going to be towed. i know up in montgomery county particularly on woodward and bethesda they are really aggressive. >> dave the county towing codes haven't been changed much in the last 18 years, one of the things they would do set flat rates and require more towing noe notices to give people a chance. >> i think a lot of people would agree with that. you know sometimes you're just stuck. you can't quite get there. maybe you lose it by 30 seconds or so or maybe a minute. is it too much to ask the traffic people to wait a little bit, to make sure somebody is egregiously parking the wrong way. on the rate situation, this shouldn't be extortion. although like joe says this is another way to raise revenue. a lot of officials like that.

>> an issue in montgomery county in terms of parking. i've been told in montgomery county too. that's an issue that needs to be addressed, how much parking is available. you see a lot of folks parking in areas they shouldn't. sometimes that happens because parking is so limited in montgomery county. i know that's another issue. >> same thing in washington, d.c. chinatown, let me tell you on 7th avenue the tow truck is waiting for that hour. they go immediately. >> all right. got to take a break. we'll be right back.

to see or not to see, body cam video. most believe, many believe, cell phone video of the shooting of walter scott in south carolina played heavily in the decision to fire and prosecute the officer who shot him. while there are calls for more body cams around the country,

d.c. mayor muriel bowser wants to limit public acin order to protect privacy. dave there's a heated debate now about whether privacy trumps public's right to know to see the video there's an argument i understand why she wants to do this for privacy. there's a case by case approach you want to take certain privacy areas come up and you deal with that. in the name this is public stuff, press should have. i know she wants lawyers to have it and police to have it but other people should have it too, could be detrimental to this argument. if big brother is watching you, the thinking is their behavior will be better. the people i talk to that don't like this think this would be an abridgement of that. >> i don't think it's well intended. the way she put it in she put it through the budget. this is not an open discussion.

the reality is i totally disagree. channel 4 did a story this week about they are going to use drones. drones. they are going to fly over the city and take pictures of parade routes crime. now, no one is talking about the drones -- video can't be seen for the drones. i don't like this at all. i certainly don't like the mayor's excuse that we don't have time to block out individual images of people. the reality is you act like this would be done every single day all the time. look if we did not have public viewing of what happened in north charleston then we would not have the outrage of what i think is a very legitimate concern of people in the country. >> there's concern about limited access to videos. >> about 15 states. some approved it some sitting

on the books to be approved or denied. i'm sure bowser is looking at that. i don't think this is a good move for her. i think she's trying to strengthen her base and her power here but it's a broad law. she's saying she will exempt all the video from freedom of access. the the problem is there's already a law in the books in d.c. that covers privacy issues in terms of video being released. so is this really necessary for her to do. ward 5 councilman mcduffy head of public safety committee is already challenging this and saying he wants hearings on this and i don't think the mayor wants that. >> i wonder how much support she has on the council. >> meanwhile early voting is now under way in the district to fill two d.c. council people one of them muriel bowser's seat in ward 4. there are 12 candidates in the race 9 to replace marion barry in ward 8. there's a lot of money being raised in this race. the two leading candidates are

both former bowser people. >> i think that's where most of the money is coming from right, brandon todd ward 4 and ruby may in ward 8. at this point to me when you have a special election and there's not much time and it's off year election it's going to go to the folks, the advantage is going to go to the folks who have money. they can get out votes, get folks on buses and get them to polls. todd and may have the money. name recognition, obviously christopher barry has that because he's using his father's name but i don't know if that's going to be enough. this is where bowser again is positioning herself to see what can i do in terms of using that bully pulpit to get my people in office. right now the tide is leaning towards the candidates she supports. >> there's nothing illegal as far as i can tell about what's going on. those are the laws. considered a very shrewd political operative. more and more she's considered that by what she's doing a lot of people are thinking.

this is how she wants to operate. the answer is for the other candidates to get their message out somehow to try to turned raise somehow. >> your thoughts. >> my thought, to the citizens of ward 8 and ward 4 and that is there's no excuse not to vote. you have early vote. you have early early vote. you have multiple precincts being added. the sad thing is i hope i'm wrong on this it's probably going to be a very, very low turnout. there are people in ward 8 who have been waiting for this moment because there's a new opportunity to get new leadership. i would just encourage everyone on this sunday morning, don't find an excuse not to go to the polls. >> early voting ends april 25th and the special election takes place april 28th. that's reporters notebook. thanks for being with us. i'm pat lawson muse. stay with us. "news 4 today" continues.

>> hi everyone. i'm angie goff. >> i'm adam tuss. we're going to get a check of the forecast right off the bat. >> amelia seems like cool air is setting in. >> overall today is going to be cooler. right now temperatures are about 5 degrees warmer than they were this time yesterday but they are not going to warm up like they did yesterday. the high 84 degrees, today a high only around 65. as we head to graphic, check of storm team radar. this is the system that will bring us rain overnight tonight and early tomorrow morning. when i say rain heavy rain 1 inch to 1.5 inches is possible. that could lead to isolated flash flooding tonight and early

tomorrow morning. sky 4 walking you through morning and early afternoon hours. cloud nascar around morning, partly sunny skies around midday hours. as we head into afternoon hours, looking at mostly cloudy skies. showers move in as early as 3:00. more on the timing of rain and even storms coming up in a bit. >> good information. thanks amelia. developing a fast moving wildfire. that fire started 10 hours ago. take a look at this. it's burned 175 acres near prado dam and encino. three people in stable condition after a shooting at a delaware state university event. a school spokesman said it happened around 8:00 p.m. school sanctioned authority and fraternity cookout. our philadelphia affiliate said a crowd of about 1,000 was there. they say a fight broke out and

there. but authorities say he ran away before police arrived. he is also a mary washington student. he was found about two and a half hours later near riverside first church. >> it's really difficult because we don't know what's going on in someone's life and what they might do. it's honestly a tough issue. >> man is from falls church a history and american studies major. the university's task force on skl assault and a member of the student government association. one day she hoped to become a lawyer and fight against injustice. >> it's really unfortunate that he had to take it out on that girl. >> reporter: so far police have not yet revealed what the motive may have been for the killing or how exactly this college student died. the suspect, again, her roommate being held without bond at rappahannock regional jail. in fredericksburg darcy spencer, news 4. right now we have a massive

search and rescue operation under way after a migrant ship capsized. around 700 people were on board. only 28 people so far have been able to be rescued. the incident comes amid a massive wave of people trying to flee for italian shows. nearly 1,000 migrants have died just this year in capsized boats. hundreds of criminal convictions are now in question after the fbi acknowledged its forensic experience gave flawed testimony for years. according to the "washington post," the mistakes spanned decades. experts who studied hair samples testified in favor of prosecutors more than 95% of the time. it happened in more than 250 trials according to the post in 32 of those cases the defendants were sentenced to death. >> take a look at this. the moment an apartment building in oxen hills goes up in flames. more than two dozen people have to find somewhere else to live for now.

investigators say the fire started on one of the balconies in the air conditioning unit. five apartments damaged and red cross is helping those families. >> the man who landed this gyrocopter on the front lawn of the capital is driving back home to florida. we're going to bring that video up in a second. doug hughes tells "tampa bay times" he has to be outside his home by monday when house arrest begins. hughes has to wear an ankle monitor until he comes back to d.c. for his next court appearance in may. he made the flight to protest campaign finance laws and calls a patriot. >> yesterday will mark oklahoma bombing. hundreds of bikers held a rally to remember the victim of that attack. later bill clinton will speak to victims' families. in 1995 timothy mcveigh placed a bomb inside a moving truck right outside this building alfred

murrah federal building. 160 people died including 19 children. >> vre hoping a lot of you will start taking a train by the end of the year. opening a new station in spotsylvania county on fredericksburg line. hoping to at 1,000 new riders to the system. they are considering new stations on the manassas line as well. says it wants to double its ridership by 2040. right now hail and high winds lashing out in texas. why the latest storm is anything but ordinary. >> should students be allowed to carry guns on campus. the bim triggering a debate across the country. >> weddings are not just expensive for bride and groom. how

pedestrians don't come with airbags.

all right. well let's just call it what it is shall we? we are already in full presidential election mode from chipotle to road trips, new hampshire, no shortage of fuel for the fire already. >> joining us now to talk about it all moderator of "meet the press" chuck todd. chuck, we know hillary likes guacamole with her chicken bowl but what have we really learned this week as far as are we any closer to her message? >> not at all. i have to say i felt like the trip in iowa it's still a work in progress let's put it that way, about the campaign. she had interesting tons. day one an idea all of a sudden she's driving to iowa what a great opportunity but she doss to chipotle and orders food. i thought the point was to break out of the bubble and talk to people have conversations with people that are unscripted. instead the only time you did see her interacting with their

phrase every day americans as opposed to every other day americans, i think we're all every day americans, she didn't -- they were all scripted events. that to me feels like a missed opportunity. >> a little bit awkward. isn't this out of the playbook of her senate race? >> it is. almost trying too hard. here is the checklist of everything wrong in '07, a checklist of everything that went well in 2000, let's them them out. >> we saw candidates -- >> even i'm going, 19? i'm sitting there going i can come up with 13. who are the other guys showing up here. >> we know marco rubio got a lot of attention after he announced. walking away and seeing what you saw in new hampshire so far along with rubio's announcement who are the top gop candidates. >> obviously jeb bush with

money, scott walker who just got a big following particularly with a lot of conservatives p rubio feels like he's up there. i wouldn't be discounting ted cruz as a relative player. what's fascinating is how everybody was trying to define their message based on hillary clinton. if that is the topic of conversation that's not good for jeb bush. every time you have everybody comparing themselves to hillary clinton and beating her name up and the past every attack on that is effective for going after jeb bush of that's part of these catapults that i think are potentially lethal to his candidacy. >> you have someone on his show who is not afraid to speak his mind terry mcauliffe from virginia we know him well. i'm sure he's going to be talking about hillary. >> this is a close personal friend. he's unapologetic campaign chair. if the democratic party and progressive movement is going to

try to pull her to the left does that play in virginia. i'd be curious what the governor has to say about then. we have may have an announcement. john kasich inching ever closer on the verge of saying he wants to throw his hat in. >> he's going to say it on "meet the press." >> i don't know if he does. we'll see. >> on the questioning chart, no pressure. >> all on me. >> you got it. >> thanks chuck. >> a reminder see "meet the press" every sunday right here on nbc 4 right after "news 4 today." well a carolina measure is making its way through the texas legislature that would allow guns on college campuses. texas is one of a growing number of states taking aim at the issue. nbc's terry sanders has more on the debate over whether students should be allowed to carry concealed weapons in order to protect themselves. >> college campuses are supposed to be hallowed grounds of higher learning. as we've seen like last year

that piece can be shattered in an instant. eight states considering laws that would allow college students to carry guns on campus. some allow students over age 21 to carry guns on campus in certain circumstances. >> it's in my purse. >> right now. >> i do. >> 21-year-old florida state graduate student rebecca hargrove can legally carry her pistol most places but not at school. she wants the right to openly carry on campus. >> this is in a clam shell holster, it's the great equalizer. >> at lone star college in houston. >> i'm very much for it. >> there's no reason for them to come with a gun. >> the proposed texas law, which would allow students and university employees to carry concealed weapons on campus is a point of debate. >> there's so much violence already. to give immature students guns is ridiculous. >> i've heard so many stories of girls being assaulted and robbed
