deputies. julie carey joins us now live. >> reporter: sheriff stacey kincaid met with an attorney for natasha mckenna's family to offer condolence and explain why she decided to release this video it was earlier this week that the commonwealth's attorney ruled that mckenna's death was a tragic accident, caused by something called excited delirious seft off by her mental illness and struggle with deputies. he ruled no deputies will be criminally charged in connection with the incident. again, it bears repeating, some of what you are about to see may be difficult to watch. natasha mckenna was suffering from severe schizophrenia when she was brought to the jail. because she had assaulted a deputy and created a biohazard in her cells, the sert team was used to get her out and transport her. as matter of policy, they videotape all their work. >> we are going to take you out. >> reporter: mckenna was wary from the beginning. the video shows deputies spend

more than 15 minutes trying to get mckenna in restraightnts an into a transport chair, repeatedly asking her to comply. >> we are going to use the taser on you. do you understand what that means? >> reporter: a few minutes later, mckenna is tased, four times in all. >> stop resisting. >> taser! taser! >> reporter: soon after the, mckenna goes limp. only after she reaches a sally port and a waiting van does a nurse realize she is not responding. >> we got bad news. >> reporter: in an exclusivity veer with you news4, the sheriff explains why it was important to release the video. >> because there was so much inaccurate information that was being put out and it was important that we were able to show exactly the professionalism as well as the restraint as well as the patience that the deputies demonstrated in trying to get miss mckenna treatment and back to alexandria.

>> reporter: the sheriff has this message for natasha mckenna's family. >> to send my condolences and to let them know that natasha mckenna did not die in vain and there will be sol something good that comes of this tragedy and that is a better system that's going to be set up in terms of how we treat those suffering from mental illness. >> reporter: the sheriff's department is conducting its own internal affairs investigation but already, the use of tasers has been suspended in the adult detention center. coming up on news4 at 6:00, you will hear from a leading mental health activist in the community who watched this video today and calls it surprising. back to you now, jim. >> julie, thank you. earlier this year, you may recall julie actually traveled with fairfax county leaders down to text as they checked out how they handle mentally ill suspects there. in san antonio, both the police and sheriff's departments have special training on ways to avoid using force. there's also a program that diverts mentally ill offenders into treatment rather than putting them behind bars.

hours. you can see it actually enhancing along i-81. i do expect to see a few more showers tonight. still a good idea to take the umbrella with you, but the heaviest rain has moved through. not much going around our region at all, annapolis seeing rain across the chesapeake bay bridge, a flash flood warning in effect until 6:00 for areas around the annapolis region. back to the west, this is where the front is. we have got much cooler air that's trying to make its way our way. tomorrow, we will see temperatures in the mid-80s, but this weekend, got another chance of rain and much cooler weather moving in sunday and into monday. we have got that four coming up in just a bit. >> all right, thanks, doug. have you heard, the pope's going to be visiting d.c.? yes he is. if you haven't heard, now is the time to listen up, live team coverage on the impact on travel, security across our entire region. this will be as big as an inauguration or two or three. and that means major parts of our city will completely shut

down. let's begin with news4's mark segraves, he is live. >> reporter: that's right. police say think of a fourth of july celebration and a presidential inauguration back to back. that's what secret service and police are planning for and preparing for and while there will be a lot of inconvenience to us and there will be a lot of security, local leaders say it will all be worth it. >> having probably the most popular person in the world visit your city is a good thing. >> reporter: the pope's visit is shaping up to be good thing for local businesses, like hotels that are already seeing an uptick in business. but it's not going to be event for most of us, especially if you want to catch a glimpse of the pope. >> the holy father will leave the white house in the popemobile and proceed in a parade from the white house down 17th street and around the ellipse, constitution avenue, back up 15th street, for an opportunity for all those who

are so anxious and happy to see him, to have a viewing opportunity. >> reporter: if you plan to go down to the white house to watch the pope he's circles the ellipse in the popemobile, the security gates will open at 4 a.m. and you need to be in place by 10 a.m. when those gates close and of course, you will have to go through heavy security at every event the pope has. >> there will be multiple lay others of screening, including magna tomorrow noters and bag searches at all ven news. >> reporter: now, just weeks away from the pope's visit, there's still some confusion. today, the archdiocese put out -- the archdiocese of washington put out a press release saying if you're coming down to the ellipse for that papal parade, that you won't be allowed to bring any food or drink to that event. but the secret service just homes ago clarified that saying that they will allow you to bring in bottled water. of course the archdiocese is standing by their press release and we are trying to get that figured out four. coming up at 6:00, the secret service has a special warning

about drones during the papal visit and give the recent ambulance shortages, the mayor responds to what will happen if you call 911 during the pope's visit. jim, back to you. >> all right, we will see you at 6:00. whether you are going to and from work, to and from the nats game, getting around town is also going to be very tricky, as you know, during the pope's visit. today, we learned more about road closures and metro concerns. our team coverage continues now with transportation reporter adam tuss. he is live down at catholic university in northeast. oh, adam? >> reporter: hey, jim. this is what we can tell four sure about the neighborhoods that will be impacted, capitol hill, the white house, the naval observatory and here at brook land are going to be heavy impacted. it is going to be a challenge to get around. permanent and rolling road closures, ddot says it has identified 70 intersections around the city where it will have to deploy traffic control officers to help. and that's some of the easy stuff. when the pope decides to move, roads will have to close. >> we are preparing for large

crowds, road closures and extensive traffic detours. >> reporter: on metro, big crowds expected to move around with the pope as well. >> many of these events are going to be occurring or overlapping with the traditional rush hour. >> reporter: the orioles and nats also scheduled to play at nats park during this time period. basically, if do you have to move around, be prepared to wait. >> thousands on thousands of people. they are shutting down all these streets. i live in one of these apartments. i don't even know if i will be able to get out. >> reporter: here around catholic university in northeast, the main event being held, an outdoor mass where 25,000 people will show and those are just the ones with tickets. students who live around here know it is going to get busy, but they want to see the pole. >> if i won't be right on the field, hopefully, i will see it through my window or something. >> reporter: even with all that's going on, transportation leaders are stress the city will be open for business. now, coming up at 6:00, we are going to take a closer look at the brook land metro station

were denied. the trial stays here. the trial says if here. >> reporter: demonstrators reacting to the decision at the courthouse in baltimore. lawyers for the six police officers facing separate trials in connection with the death of freddie gray had argued that they could not get fair trials in baltimore. the autopsy says freddie graze's rough ride in a police transport van that suddenly decelerated play is caused his fatal injuries. >> they did the acts here, it should be here. we as people in the community, we are bright, educated enough to not be biased but go by facts and try this case. >> reporter: lawyers defending the police argued that media coverage of the baltimore riots makes it impossible for them to find fair and impartial jurors. they cited the property that was destroyed, the national guard being called in and the city's $6.4 million settlement of a civil lawsuit with gray's family. >> and so you will certainly have jurors who will equate, for one, the $6.4 million settlement

with a finding by the city and city officials that these officers committed wrong doing, committed these crimes. >> reporter: judge barry williams says you cannot assume that when citizens of baltimore are placed under oath, they will not tell the truth when asked if they can be fair and impartial. doug colbert is a professor at the university of maryland law school. >> i have enormous faith in the jury system and in the people of baltimore to provide a fair trial, both to the officers and to the prosecution and community. >> reporter: first police trial in connection with the death of freddie gray is scheduled to begin in october. that's the latest from baltimore. wendy, back to you. >> thank you, chris. arlington police are hoping this surveillance image of a car will jog someone's people any a hit and run crash that involved a 2-year-old. it happened in late august at the mcdonald's along columbia pike, not far from south walter reed. ber told that the car hit the 2-year-old, stopped so the

deputies immediately after picking their child up. the next day, rodriguez arrested. >> look at physical evidence, look at testimonial evidence, they interviewed anybody involved, you know, around the periphery of anything that could happen there. >> i never thought he would do something like that. >> reporter: this woman sees rodriguez in passion. with young brothers, the accusations make her especially uneasy. >> i feel so sad at the same time, someone would do something like that to a little kid. >> reporter: investigators say when they made the arrest, the unlicensed day care provider in the house with rodriguez was also above the number of children legally permitted. deputies tell us they have been running the day care out of this home since 2000, some 15 years it is for that reason, tonight, they are looking for other possible victims. katherine hoping that's not the case. >> i hope there are no more victims, 'cause the kids that i

and that forecast has rain in it for the day today. some of us saw some. reston didn't pick much up at all during the day. the cloud cover, reston town center looking pretty good. the toll road a little bit on the slow side. not too bad. traffic flowing pretty good. downtown today, a little bit in the way of shower activity, it was portions of southern maryland and along the chesapeake that saw the most rain. we actually had a couple of flash flood warnings, one around

baltimore, annapolis earlier. those were gone. watching this area of rain back towardism-81, back toward the east. i don't expect it to bring much rain to most of the region, but it is something we are going to watch for parts of northern virginia, i think, the next couple of hours. the heaviest rain around annapolis. moving across the bay, continues to move on out. a shower or two sprinkles here and there the next few hours. it is possible. but once again, going to wait for the back edge, the frontal boundary going to continue to the east, may see a few more showers and storms, but the bulk of the heavier rain off to the east, toward the pennsylvania area and it will continue to move on out. take a look at these rainfall totals. they are really incredible. zero rain in winchester, about a tenth in gaithersburg, same thing in d.c., over half an inch in quantico. nearly an inch in culpeper, three art and a quarter, three and a third up toward annapolis, why we had that flash flood warning in place a few streets were shut down because of the very heavy rain that is just

some monster rain, over three inches of rain, downtown. we saw almost none. so once again, we needed to see the rain, some got it, some did not. we are going to have more chances the next couple of days but not in the next 24 hours or some 78 degrees, the current number. we were up to 94 yesterday. we hit 84 today. we have come down and now we are right back up to that 78-degree mark. still very warm and humid across our region. so, heading out this evening, take an umbrella. 9:00, 73, 73 by 11. heading out once again, take that umbrella with you, however, most of us should stay on the drier side, tomorrow, everybody is dry the humidity gets out of here and we have got a great friday. 85 degrees, leesburg, 86, la plata. 87 down toward fredericksburg. temperatures above average tomorrow, but then below average and well below average toward the weekend, expecting rain on saturday that rain could be heavy at times, maybe a couple of thunderstorms, high temperature 82. only a high of 76, a few showers

on sunday. so the weekend, a little bit iffy here. we have got much more on that weekend, including the seven-day forecast, at 5:45. >> all right. the parade route is set. >> now at 5:00, the excitement's building for the pope's visit to washington. we have everything you need to know if you want to catch a glimpse of pope francis without getting a ticket. and maybe see if your child's lucky enough to get a handshake, even a kiss. and a bogus criminal record on file. we have learn it had could happen to anyone. the news4 i-team investigates. i'm darcy spencer in alexandria. a man is being called a good samaritan for providing critical information to police in a hit and run investigation. >> the officer told me if i wouldn't have told him anything, they would have never found her. >> i will tell ♪
