>> reporter: fbi and internal labor department investigators got wind of taylor's scheme and found he used a five-bay dvd burner to make those pirated movies and made the sales during business owners and that he kept a log of his sales, including the customers. but how did he make so many steels so many federal workers under the agency's nose before being caught? the labor department declined multiple multiple requests for comment. we know taylor was allowed to retire from his job after the feds finally caught him and prosecutors charged him with copyright infringement. taylor pleaded guilty and serve two years' probation. >> put this behind me and move on with my life. that part of my life is over and make a big mistake and terribly sorry to everyone involved, especially the department of labor. >> reporter: the motion picture association of america tells news4 pirated, bootleg dvd rodriguez still a major problem and still threaten the livelihoods of thousands of people who produce tv shows and

had made a different choice and i know why the american people have questions and i wanted to make sure i answered those questions starting with the fact that my personal e-mail use was fully aboveboard. it was allowed by the state department, as they have cop firmed. but in retrospect, it certainly would have been better. i take responsibility. i should have had two accounts, one for personal and one for work-related. >> andrea mitchell joins us live from new york now. andrea, clinton is taking a different tone now. she is no longer making jokes about that, wiping the server clean with a wash cloth. >> she is not making jokes about it. i think they are really taking this seriously now, they have seen the impact. they know they have to hit the reset button. and i think your going to see that. she is going to be doing more interviews. she is taking questions this. and they know they want to starting with today and then labor day, try to get ahead of this. it is going to tail them for quite a while because the emails are going to continue to come

out. the fbi is investigating. she is going to be testifying to congress in october. but they have to at least take a different tone because it is hurting her campaign. >> recent polls have shown that more voters are saying that they feel clinton isment trustworthy. how did she react about that? >> she said it doesn't make her feel good but thinks that isn't what she is feeling out on the campaign trail that when people see her, they connect with her and that by the end of this campaign, she thinks that people will know that she fights for them and for the things that are important in their lives, the kitchen table, economic issues this are facing them every day that she has the foreign policy experience. she took off after donald trump when i asked her about that saying that we don't need that kind of conversation on the campaign trail, that it really isn't presidential and that she has learned over 20 years in you can't attack people and call them names and take that tone when you are dealing with things as important as, you know, bug

the leader of the free world. so, she was sounding a lot more like a general election candidate and trying to get past the issue that has hounded her for four or five months. >> she has got to get through the primaries first and all waiting to find out what vice president biden is going to do what does she say about that? >> she said that she is going to give him his time, his space, that she knows that's struggling with this decision and he deserves the privacy and the time to work it out. this, of course, came on the heels of his comes, the first on-camera comments last night, when in the synagogue speech, a memorial lecture in atlanta, he said, frankly, i don't know what i'm going to do. that he would only run if he and his family feel they have the emotional strength for the campaign. it wouldn't be fair to the party to not, you know, have the strength you need for this kind of campaign. my own reporting is that he would like to run but doesn't know if he and his family are up to it. >> all right. andrea, you, um, you got an

exclusive with hillary clinton and she is not giving very many interviews the aat lt all right anything surprise you >> she is a political pro. this e-mail issue has been on the trail since april. none of that today she didn't fully answer all the questions as to requesty she did the server in the first place beyond she said it was more convene yent, we didn't have the answers but she said she is going to be taking a lot of questions and answering and doing more national interviews. we have only seen -- there were two cable interviews and one with the spanish network, so there have only been three interviews since she announced for the presidency. >> andrea mitch, thanks for your time and we will see you back here in washington very soon. >> good deal. thank you. >> you can see much more of andrea's exclusive interview with hillary clinton tonight, including what she said about republican rival, donald trump. that's coming up on nightly news right after this broadcast.

a young neighbor, 17-year-old danny santano was shot as he walked to the school bus around 8:30 this morning. he died soon after the at the hospital. the victim's backpack marked where he fell, later surrounded by dozens of investigators. this teen was one of his friends. >> he was a good person. i don't even know his -- he was always trying to make a smile. >> reporter: this is the school bus danny was supposed to be riding. this student was on the bus when they heard the gunshots. >> i heard the gunshots and i was kind of freaked out but i kept walking and i sought police here and i sought kid like -- like in the -- in the floor. >> reporter: witnesses tell police three suspects fled on foot after the shooting, all wearing hood dis. residents were initially told to

be on alert but late oh the sheriff told news4, there was no longer a public danger. residents at the pembroke townhome say they never felt up safe here. they, too, are stunned to learn of teenager's death. >> shocking, very sad to hear. >> definitely upsetting. as a parent, you definitely don't want to hear about that >> i never expected that from here, from this neighborhood. >> reporter: the sheriff tells me that they believe the victim and his attackers knew one another. i checked in with the sheriff's office just a few minutes ago to find out whether any of those suspects are in custody tonight. they would tell me only they are still investigating. back to you now, wendy. >> thank you, julie. as julie mentioned, the shooting forced park view high and other schools to go on lockdown, but details were sketchy at the time, so rumors started to make the rounds on social media, as you can imagine. coming up at 6:30, chris gordon takes a look at how students coped with learning that one of their classmates had been

some respects of the 911 system, that is really draining resources. >> reporter: but 911 abuse isn't the only problem. d.c. still isn't fully deploying its ambulances. six months ago, the mayor promised that there would be 49 ambulances on duty during the power shifts but during yesterday and today, there were only about 39 ambulances in service. >> so we are spending millions of doll to buy those and repairing those rigs as quickly as we can so that we can consistently get 49 units. >> reporter: the city administrator stress that they are trying to deploy the full complement of 49 ambulances as often as possible but years of neglect to the fleet are making that a challenge. it is important to note that while the investigation is continuing into the death of that young child yesterday, there is still no indication the lack of an ambulance contributed to his death. if you want to see the complete breakdown of all the 911 calls for the past year, we have them at the nbc washington app. search 911 calls.
