doesn't work it will be six months of slowdowns through that area. >> here at the live desk, maybe it was because it all happened so quickly, but reaction just keeps on coming in by that stunning decision by kevin mccarthy to take his name out of running for speaker of the house. as early as this morning mccarthy was telling fellow republicans he's still planned to run. by noon other everything had changed and some were just completely shocked and other republicans see it as a victory. >> if we are going to unite and be strong, we need a new face. >> we thought that this was going to be sort of his campaign speech. the first thing he basically said was that he didn't want to the divide the american people and he didn't want to divide the congress and as a result of that, he says i'm not the guy, and we kind of sat in disbelief. >> the establishment lost again today and when you look at the

district. phillips is a native washingtonian, and a justice department official. he has worked for attorneys general eric holder and loretta lynch. phillips and current acting attorney were among top candidates for the d.c. job. cohen announced he will resign october 14th and return to private practice after five years with the federal office. >> phillips would take over the nearly 5-year-old proep of former mayor vincent gray in the $660,000 shadow campaign that helped elect gray mayor in 2010. gray has denied involvement saying last year. >> i maintain these are lies. they're absolute lies. both cohen and ronald maychen have seen the probe with half a dozen guilty pleas. it's an electoral process with integrity and that was violated. as for today, the prosecutor's office said the gray investigation is continuing.

>> one lawyer said phillips will bring fresh eyes to the gray investigation. jim and wendy? >> thank you, tom. charges filed now against the teenager accused of making threats with a gun at a northern virginia school and that student's been held on counts of brandishing a firearm and possessing a weapon on school property. police are not releasing the 15-year-old's name and he's a freshman at culpeper high school. sheriff's deputies said other students saw him with what turned out to be a pellet gun on a school bus yesterday morning. they say he made specific threats to shoot people. three will skoos were locked down while police searched for a student and a gun. >> and the fbi wants you to take a good look at the surveillance pictures. they say that this man held up the wells fargo bank on dale boulevard in woodbring at 9:30 this morning. employees say the man walked into the bank, had a gun and demanded money from the teller and then fled. police used k-9s and a

i said who are you? i kept screaming and screaming. franco's description of the man enabled police to create this composite sketch that later led to charles severance's arrest, but unlike the sketch, severance had a long, bushy beard at the time of the crime. defense attorneys have spotlighted that key difference and suggested it was a different man who fired the fatal shots, but for the first time franco was asked to identify severance as the man she saw that day. at the prosecution's request severance turned toward franco. asked prosecutor david lord, have you seen this man before? >> franco, yes. prosecutor, does he look like the man who shot you? franco, yes. >> reporter: we couldn't show you photographs of that moment because even though a still camera is allowed in the courtroom for this trial, certain witnesses like ms. franco cannot be photographed. ahead, all new at 6:00, what happened when defense attorneys

trick the epa and consumers into thinking those vehicles were emitting 40% lower levels of nitrogen oxide. the responsible parties would be held accountable. when pressed about how vw would compensate consumers, horn said that was still being looked into. he affirmed the vehicles are still safe to drive and they can be fixed to meet emission standards. >> i did not think that something like this was possible at the volkswagen group. we have broken the trust of our customers, dealerships and employees as well as the public and regulators and let me be very clear we at volkswagen take full responsibility for our actions and we are working with all of the relevant authorities in a cooperative way. >> members of the subcommittee were not pleased when horn asked for patience adding the problem might take years to fix. here in the u.s., the epa and the justice department are conducting a criminal investigation. >> erika, thank you. >> for the first time in one
