week's mass shooting in a community college there. this trip comes with comfort and controversy. as nbtc's jennifer bjork lund reports the visit is all about politics. >> reporter: the president have saiding roseburg, oregon, just a week after the umpqua community college. an event that left him visibly angry about the gun laws. >> this. >> a student opened fire and killed nine classmates before dying in what the medical examiner ruled to be suicide. a quinnipiac poll in the aftermath of the shooting shows that while less than half of americans support stricter gun control law an overwhelming major irt want background checks for gun buyers. the roseburg community has a minority of obama supporters. he got 35% of the douglas county vote in 2012, but his critics are outspoken. >> he is not wanted out here to
6:02 pm
push his agenda. >> i think just the fact that he's coming to meet with the families is excellent. >> reporter: while demonstrators opposed president obama's policies on gun control protest the visit, elected officials also opposed to gun control welcomed the president. >> he is the number one elected official for our entire nation and by coming here he brings that whole feeling of the nation is behind us and in support of us. >> in a community divided by opinions on guns, hope to come together and heal during a debate that is sure to open old wounds. jennifer bjork lund, nbc news. >> in just hours after the president left for oregon there were two more shootings on or near college campuses. in houston, a freshman was built in a parking lot near texas southern university. a second person is in serious condition. police have two people in custody. they're looking for a third. they have lifted the lockdown on
6:03 pm
campus, but this is the third shooting on or near texas southern just this week. tonight we've also learned that the student killed in a shooting at an arizona college used to live right here in our area. colin brough attended broadneck high school in annapolis for his freshman and sophomore years. he was killed and three others injured in the early morning shooting on the campus of northern arizona. it happened after a fight broke out between two groups of students just outside a dorm. police think a teenager named stephen jones pulled the trigger and he's been charged with murder. >> now to a trial and murder case we've been covering for quite some time and security camera video from the neighbor of one of the murder victims. it's a key piece of evidence shown to jurors today in the charles severance trial. he's accused of killing three alexandria residents over a ten-year period. bureau chief julie carey joins us live to tell us what's on that video. julie? >> reporter: prosecutors will argue that that video shows a getaway car with charles
6:04 pm
severance at the wheel just minutes after ruthanne lodato was shot and killed, but the defense got help with its case today, too, because dna cannot be used to tie severance to that crime scene. >> this is the 1999 ford escort wagon that charles severance was driving when he was arrested in west virginia. six months later he was charged with three alexandria murders. prosecutors introduced a key piece of evidence. security camera video from a neighbor of murder victim ruthanne lodato. it shows a car that looks like severance's driving on braddock road near the lodato home just minutes after ruthanne was shot to death. prosecutors had the bumper of severance's car brought into the courtroom, spotted for jurors a sticker on it reading assassination city derby, a gun at its center. ruthanne's widow, norm lodato testified briefly about the day he learned his wife of 37 years had been killed.
6:05 pm
he told jurors his wife a beloved music teacher happened to be home the morning of february 6th because she had a doctor's appointment. he was on his way home from one. i got a call from my neighbor who said there's been an incident at your house and you need to go home right away. they provided an important piece of family background. ruthanne's father and brother were once judges. it's severance's hatred of the judicial system that drove him to kill, but other physical evidence introduced fails to tie severance to the crime. the doorway was swabbed for fingerprints and she testified that none of the dna samples collected matched the accused charles severance. there were fingerprints taken from several locations including that front door, but of the 14 prints taken, not one matched charles severance. >> reporter: as for that security camera video of the car, we expect to see more of it
6:06 pm

6:07 pm
of the stores where they sent their officers were not caught selling the synthetics. >> over the course of our investigation we hit over 90 establishments in prince george's countiy all over the county and we only made eight different buys. >> reporter: while police confiscated nearly $30,000 worth of what they suspect are synthetic drugs, no one was arrested and the stores were allowed to remain open. with drug paraphernalia back on their shelves. that's because police don't know for sure if what they confiscated is illegal. >> and after our drug lab does an analysis of all of this to determine if any of the substances in this package are illegal substances and that's one of the challenges we face. >> police say they want legislation similar to what d.c. has that allows them to make arrests. >> we're not going to arrest a clerk in a store who was just doing a job. we get that, but legislation needs to enable us to go after the store owners who are
6:08 pm
bringing this in. >> we tried to talk to the owners of the three stores that were raided and none of them wanted to talk on camera, but one of the owners did say he didn't realize that the products were illegal and he has no plans of selling them again. in prince george's county, mark re segraves, news 4. now to the shake-up of the next speaker of the u.s. house. pressure is growing for congressman paul ryan to step into the role the day after house majority leader kevin mccarthy abruptly withdrew from the race. >> that was a shocker. "meet the press" moderator chuck todd joins us. we know he's flown home to wisconsin and at this point does it come down to whether his wife and kids sign off on this? if not, i think it's doreen. >> it's up for grabs. you don't need to be a member of the house. there are two things going on and he is listening to the draft movement. yes, he has to have a conversation with his wife.
6:09 pm
they are beginning negotiations of he is saying, well, can i do the job without having to do the travel that goes with it. most of the time the speaker of the house is the leading guy to raise the money for the house republicans. if he could farm that out to somebody else and if he can just be the washington speaker essentially and let somebody else do the grunt work on the fund-raising front and if he could go home every other weekend and things like that and do it temporary. i'll agree to do this through the end of the congress, but then i'm going back to being ways and means chair and then the party has to figure out a long-term solution. >> i think that's the scenario that will get worked out. at the end of the day, mitt romney asking him, you have every house member begging him to do it and the chairman of the republican party because they all simply want stability. they know that long term nobody can manage this place, they just need stability so that the focus
6:10 pm
is off house republicans and back on the presidential race. >> and everybody is saying, if not him what? let's go back to yesterday for a moment. kevin mccarthy at breakfast time was thought to be a lock. by lunch:he was out of it. what do you make of that? number one, he knew he never had the 218 portion of this which was going to be a problem at the end of the month. i think his candidacy has been the nominee and his candidacy will be resting on how well hillary clinton did on the benghazi committee because if she dominated the committee basically using kevin mccarthy's words about calling the benghazi committee a political move to take her down and then that would have taken him down, and i think he realized that was a precarious place to be and there was a burn of conservatives that didn't like moving up the number two and it was a whisper campaign and people didn't want them to be speaker and they were using whatever it took even
6:11 pm
untrue stuff, but to sort of take them down personally and the combination of all of them said whoa, what have i gotten myself into? >> you mentioned 218 and that's because the democrats are saying we're just sitting back and we're not a part of this. >> the way it works, you're a speaker of the whole house. each party nominates a candidate when there is a vacancy and for the democrats you will nominate nancy pelosi and they vote for their nominee, but if enough didn't do it it would go to a second ballot and all sorts of chaos. and there are weird scenarios and say ryan can stick to his guns. >> i think the next most likely scenario is boehner stays and there will be a motion to vacate the chair and democrats will keep him in that position at that point. >> check to see what tee times get canceled at the end of this month and you will know. >> every week we're getting rid of a new speaker. maybe we'll go a whole week without one. >> keeps you busy. >> chuck will be digging into
6:12 pm
the search for a new speaker and updating us this sunday. join us at 10:30 on "meet the press" on nbc 4. a self-proclaimed psychic arrested 200 miles from home. how a investigator tracks her down as he shares new video of her arrest. thousands are preparing to gather for the million man march. security is stepped up and what you need to know to navigate the crowds and closures. the conservative strategy behind picking a new speaker of the house may be taking place not here, but at a capitol hill restaurant just a couple of blocks away. i'll have the story ahead. tracking some strong storms right now, starting to develop into montgomery county and fairfax county and this will come right through the district and the beltway within the next 15 minutes

6:16 pm
>> there is a growing buzz over where some republicans made their pick. a group of conservatives are said to have plotted their moves at a local tex mex spot. what's going down over chips and guac. ? may i get you anything else? >> tortilla coast has been around for more than 40 years, suddenly it appears to be the hottest political gathering place on capitol hill. a group of about 40 conservative republicans called the house freedom caucus meets here in this private basement dining room every week. >> they're down there talking about most things that go before the house and certainly they're talking about the speaker election and what they want. >> recent reports indicate the conservative house freedom caucus was meeting here during the weeks when john boehner stepped down as house speaker. and majority leader kevin mccarthy dropped out of the race. here at tortilla coast they won't comment, giving the house freedom caucus its privacy. >> the decisions are being made,
6:17 pm
that's certainly very interesting and i couldn't say one way or the other whether that's occurring here in the restaurant. >> we asked customers at lunchtime if they think some of the decisions of the speakers of house are being made at the restaurant which are blocks of the capitol. >> you either come here or go to the club so it's possible, but i'm not aware. >> do you think part of the strategy is being developed here at tortilla coast? >> oh, absolutely. people -- this is a place to get away and have private conversations and get something to eat, as well. >> as if all of this political intrigue about tortilla coast isn't enough, consider this, one of the leading candidates for the position of speaker of the house is paul ryan and before he held leched office he worked at tortilla coast. >> paul ryan was a waiter and there was a tortilla coast on the senate side and he was a waiter over there. so it would be a full circle moment if paul ryan became the speaker of the house. >> at the capitol, chris gordon,
