speaker of the house shocking his own caucus. now there are real concerns about what will happen next. steve handelsman is on capitol hill with the latest developments. >> doreen, it is a stunner. some are worried there is a mccarthy personal problem and most say it is a confirmation and there is a civil war in the republican party. >> good morning. >> reporter: kevin mccarthy wore a smile maybe because he was quitting the battle. the right hand man to speaker john boehner looked a shoo-in to succeed him. despite tea party challenges from daniel webster and jason chaffetz, but when mccarthy tallied his votes for today's speaker election he was short. >> i think i shocked some of you, huh? >> if we are going to unite and be strong we need a new face to help do that. >> reporter: mccarthy made republicans look bad last week admitting the point of the house committee investigating hillary clinton is to kill her presidential prospect prospects republicans were already in turmoil and that's why boehner is leaving. >> our conference will have to

do a lot of deep soul-searching. tea partiers say they beat the old guard again. >> this is a victory for the american people who are demanding change in washington. >> reporter: change on the hill might not be for the better. >> house republican disarray could make all of the people hate about issue what wash even worse. >> reporter: fights this fall over the debt ceiling, planned parenthood and spending that could close government, a shutdown that kevin mccarthy had vowed to prevent. now more speaker candidates are sure to jump in and the election is postponed and boehner might have to stay on as speaker into november or further and he is said to be pressuring paul ryan to succeed him and ryan who loves being chairman of the ways and means committee and he ran for vice president in 2012 has said he doesn't want the speaker's job. still, he's under pressure and his office said again today that is a hard no, but a lot of people up here say they want paul ryan and ryan, jim, has canceled fund-raising and possibly other activities for the next two days.

back to you. >> a lot more to come on this, thanks, steve. >> now to a big change in the federal prosecutor's office in d.c. the white house has announced that it will nominate channing phillips as the next u.s. attorney for the district of columbia. tom sherwood broke that story on twitter today and now reports on what it could mean for a high-profile corruption case. late today the white house confirmed a major change in law enforcement here in the nation's capital. channing phillips, if approved by congress would take over one of the biggest and most active u.s. attorney offices in america. it handles international and national cases as well as major local prosecutions in the district. phillips is a native washington an and a veteran justice department official and he most recently has worked for attorneys general eric holder and loretta lynch. phillips and vinny cohen were among top candidates for the d.c. job. cohen announced late today he

will resign october 18th and return to private practice after five years with the federal office. as u.s. attorney phillips would take over the near five-year probe of 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. these are absolute lies. >> both cohen and former prosecutor have overseen the gray probe with a half-dozen guilty pleas plus three council members who were forced to leave office on fraud charges and other cases. prosecutors told us today that gray case is continuing. >> well, i'm sure it is, but i guess my question -- does this mean that they have to start all over again from ground zero? >> no, but once channing phillips gets through the senate he'll have to be beat from the attorneys and some for nearly five years and he will have to decide whether to keep going or to shut it down.

vinnie cohen could have done that last april when he took over and he decided to keep going apparently and he'll have channing phillips' turn. >> it could be third strike, you're out. >> we'll leave it at that. >> thank you, tom. >> the man who crashed a stolen car into a fence at fort meade managed to elude capture for 13 hours by hiding out in a storm drain. the ordeal began last night when police trayed to pull over a man driving a stolen car. the driver, dante small led police on a chase for about five miles. he crashed into the fence at fort meade and then he took off running. officers spotted him this morning in a storm drain not far from where hundreds of soldiers live. >> when he reappeared in the storm drain he was immediately apprehended by law enforcement when he reappeared above ground. >> investigators say they did not find any weapons and nobody was hurt. for the second time this

year someone has been murdered in alexandria and for the second time, whoever did it is still a mystery. the shooting happened just before midnight on belle preway. pat collins is there learning more about the victim. >> reporter: he had two little girls and a steady job and had a lot of friends. why would anyone want to kill leon williams? the victim, 37-year-old leon dwayne williams. his nickname "chip." he was the father of two little girls. he worked for jiffy lube. tonight, a friend came to the scene and placed a bouquet of roses near the place where leon williams died. mr. williams' mother tried to visit the scene earlier, but she was so overcome with grief her friends led her away. now this happened in the courtyard of the belle pre plaza

apartments in alexandria. there was a barrage of bullets, leon williams fell dead to the ground. there were a number of stray rounds, a number of close calls. meet now anthony giuliani. a couple of years ago he was shot and wounded in baltimore. he said he moved here to be safe, but last night he was nearly hit by a stray bullet while he was riding in his car. >> as we came within the alleyway here at 4:00 and one of the bullets hit my car and i told my fiance, honey, it's time to go. we go, go, go, go, and he sped off around the corner here into the parking garage. >> reporter: the murder last night happened in the courtyard of the belle pre plaza apartments. it was the second murder in alexandria this year. the first murder in alexandria happened down here in july on

north fayette street, not far away. >> we would be remiss if we didn't look into the possibility of a connection, but right noi we don't have anything to connect the two crimes. >> reporter: in this year in the city offal expected ria two murders, no motives and no arrests. back to you. >> pat collins, thanks, pat. >> that last murder was in july, elliott tibs was shot and killed. his family tells us he was hanging out with his cousins when he was shot. his mother says he was about to meet her on the metro. no arrests made yet in that case. >> here at the live desk we're getting new details about a developing situation in montgomery county. we brought this to you as breaking news in the left hour. a man was found dead in a park and now we learned he was 22 years old. chopper 4 was over edgewood neighborhood park and it's in the brigs cheney area. police were called there because they got a call that there were

shots fired, but when they arrived they found the man's body. they still don't know if he died from a gun shot wound or if that call was unrelated. all of this taking place literally right down the street from an elementary school. shomari stone is on his way to the park and we'll push out alerts on the nbc washington app and at the live desk i'm chris lawrence. a long start for prosecutors as testimony opened in the case against charles severance. today three women, including one who survived being shot testified that they saw severance in the neighborhood. julie carey is live with some of today's dramatic testimony. hi, julie. >> reporter: hi. well, can you identify the man who shot you? that was the crucial question asked of a woman who took care of murder victim ruthanne lodato's elderly mother and those of us who covered this

case now didn't know what her answer would be. she survived the gun fire at the front door of this home. she was taking care of lodato's elderly mother when someone knocked on the door and opened fire. i heard boom like this and i started screaming very hard. lodato, a beloved music teacher was killed and her rec elections in the midst of terror was put to the test when prosecutors asked whether franco could identify the accused charles severance as the man she saw that day. at the prosecutor's request, severance told franco, have you seen this man before? franco, yes. prosecutor, does he look like the man who shot you? franco, yes. attorneys challenged franco pressing her about this composite she helped create. she described a man with a trimmed beard and severance's beard was full and bushy. you're not certain this was the man who shot you.

franco replied, it is. franco isn't the only witness who says she saw severance in the alexandria neighborhood where three prominent residents were shot to death. marlene recalls walking her dog about a week before the murder and seeing a man whose vacant stare so unnerved her she changed her route. when she heard a brief description of the killer she immediately called police and told them i think i've seen the guy. a woman who runs a cleaning service in the area called police a month after the lodato murder and said she was filling the car with gas when she saw this car, severance's car driving fast running a stop sign. she didn't think anything of it until she saw a news report on severance's later arrest and remembered the redford escort and his face. in starting with the ruthanne lodato murder, it's clear prosecutors think they have the strongest evidence in that case, but they have two other homicides to try to connect to charles severance including the death 12 years ago of nancy

dunning. back to you now, jim. >> thanks, julie. a moment of silence at community colleges all over the country today. to mark one week since a gunman killed nine people on a campus in or gon. president obama will go to roseburg, oregon, tomorrow. he's going to meet privately with families of the victims there. gun rights advocates floon protest during that visit. they say the -- they say because of the president's stance on gun control. some of the folks in that small, conservative town say the climate there is too politically charged. >> frankly, it's nothing more than a politicized opportunity for him to push his antigun agenda. >> elected officials in roseburg including the mayor who is a republican says president obama is welcome. >> tonight parents are on alert after tests confirmed the case of measles in fairfax county. the county health department

says the child visited several places joanne blanks daycare last wednesday, and springfield healthplex doctor's office in alexandria and the costco store on richmond highway. by sunday the child was at innova fairfax hospital in falls church. mark segraves will join us in a live report on this later this hour on why it is still possible to contract measles. we're talking about meteor showers first as early as tonight. that's right. the draconid meteor showers and the northwestern sky we'll be able to see them and they average 10 to 20 per hour and what will help us out? a few clouds and the fact we have a crescent moon. i'll get the details coming up. >> thanks, veronica. next and new at 6:00, a school bus driver says she had help from a higher power.

was cheating on government emissions tests. horn plamed the deception on engineers and the environmental protection agency announced last month that volkswagen rigged its diesel cars to automatically switch into a mode designed to pass emission tests. and the cars will revert to the regular driving mode after the test. >> i would like to offer a sincere apology. these, vents, and i fully agree on this, are deeply troubling. >> how do you sleep at night? how do you call yourself a member of the human race when you knowingly poisoned the planet? >> michael horn told congress the vehicles are safe and legal to drive until volkswagen comes up with a plan to fix the emission issue. >> metro is admitting it's at a low point. recent delays and breakdowns are causing some riders to just, plain turn away. tonight there's talk about ways to give back to riders when

service is poor. transportation reporter adam tuss joins us from the playstation with more on this concept, adam? >> doreen, when you don't get good service you don't expect to pay full price. metro is at least talking about that with its rail service. when you start having a pattern of poor service you get stories like this. >> my first day at work on june 1st and the ac was off and there was a delay, and it smelled like a gym locker. elsy guerrero has since cut back on riding. i've been walking, like today i walked the 20 minutes over here and i don't want to pay the peak hour, so i walked. if metro is having a bad day, should you have to pay full price. he talked about prices when service is bad. another idea keep off-peak fares just one price and not distance based and downey was honest about the current service. >> you feel like riders are getting quality for the service

that they're paying. >> they're getting quality a lot of the time and they're not getting the reliability that they count on. >> something that isn't trending in the right direction is metro ridership and by their own accounts, metro is getting 40,000 trips per day and they're using millions of dollars of revenue per month. with revenue being drained, a very real consideration to fare increases to make up the difference. the worry there, though, even more riders will leave. >> reporter: guys think about this, in the last ten years, fares on metro rail have jumped by 51%. jim, back to you. >> that's a lot. adam tuss, thanks, adam. >> the case of measles has officials warning about possible exposure in parts of northern virginia. a suspect crashes a carjacked vehicle after driving past security here at fort meade. the base commander admits that security issues here are an
