washington parkway and ended on riverdale road and police say this was a close call. >> the defendant proceeded to turn around with the gun and fired the runngun as he's runni away and a very conscious decision he made. >> joseph clay pointed his fully-loaded gun at an officer and pulled the trigger. >> had he known what he was doing with the gun it absolutely would have fired. we gcould have potentially had another officer killed in the line of duty. >> it happened on riverdale road. the prince george's officer pulled over the vehicle for driving under the speed limit at 25 miles per hour on the parkway. during the stop, clay, the passenger jumped out of the car and the officer chased him. police say clay pulled his trigger in what would have been a point-blank shot. ? it was most likely user error and it was -- i believe nine rounds were in the magazine and he did not know at the time that

you have to chamber a round and it will put it into the chamber and it will fire. >> the officer took clay into custody without firing his own weapon. >> if someone is firing at you a officer can return fire and he would have been justified and he did not use force in the manner of returning gun fire. 24-year-old david edward hall was driving the vehicle and faces charges. clay who was already wanted in attempted murder in connection with another shooting in riverdale is now looking at attempted murder of a cop. >> it could have been a very bad incident yesterday and fortunately, it turned out with a good ending and we apprehended him. >> reporter: prince george's county say that open warrant may be why the gunman responded the way he did. coming up at 6:00, what they found in the vehicle that led to charges for the driver. live in riverdale, i'm tracee wilkins, back to you in the studio. did you see what happened today on the bay bridge? take a look, this is a truck dangling over the side of the

bridge. the accident brought eastbound route 50 to a standstill for hours during the early morning commute. the good news here is no one was hurt. be glad it's not summer, too. here is a picture showing all lanes back open for your evening commute. breaking news as one of the most powerful storms ever recorded bears down on mexico's pacific coast we're talking hurricane patricia is now a monster category 5 storm blowing 200 mile-an-hour winds and 200 on the coastlines between the cities of manzanillo and puerto vallarta. tens of thousands of people are being evacuated and puerto vallarta and port are both closed making it that much tougher. tourists are racing by car to leave the region. those not able to get out are moving inland and hunkering down. >> i'm just worried because if we don't get out of here and we drove into town to get out which

is not the direction we wanted to go, so if we don't make the flight then we're -- we are riding it out here. >> reporter: mexican authorities have issued a state of emergency, obviously. hurricane patricia is expected to make landfall before 10:00 tonight. doug is tracking it all right now. doug, where do you not want to be along that coastline? >> puerto vallarta, we're getting more news and the latest advisory is now in. the win winds are down to 190 m an hour and look at the eye. an extremely small eye and the eye contracting and the center of circulation extremely small and again, the winds with this storm are very strong. 1 190-mile-per-hour winds and down from 200 earlier and moving to the north-northeast at 14 miles per hour and as it does so, i mentioned manzanillo and that is because they are now on the east side of that storm and the northeast quadrant is going to be the worst part. that's manzanillo.

to the western portion around port vallarta and they're making their way in toward the north and west. i want to show you the winds here and what i'm showing you is hurricane-force winds of 75 miles an hour or greater. so, yes, we are seeing over 1 195-mile-per-hour winds. manzanillo will see winds over 60 miles per hour and not quite hurricane force and their biggest threat will be flooding and storm threat. for puerto vallarta the winds here may only get to 40 to 50 miles per hour sustained and they may see hurricane-force winds and they're not seeing the 190 mile per hour winds and those should stay to the south and that is very good news for them and i don't think they'll see much in the storm surge and puerto vallarta may get hit, but they won't see the worst of the storm. >> people in the newsroom have friends who are vacationing there and we just heard a woman

say they'll try it out if they can't get inland. >> i think in puerto vallarta you can. the reason i say that is because it will be far enough south and east away from them that the highest winds and the storm surge should not be that huge of an impact. now you have to remember where this is down in mexico. they may be without power and without water for days, if not weeks. that's the biggest concern that i have, but one thing they'll get out first is that airport. doug kammerer. thank you, doug. >> this sunday will bring 40,000 runners to town for the marine corps marathon and veterans will notice a slight change and the course is a bit different this year, when you get to the end of the race in arlington, it still goes you through the downtown area and between miles 22 and 24 there will be a u-turn. we posted more about the course change details if you want to go cheer on your runners in our nbc washington app and we have live team coverage of the marathon as runners get set to pound the pavement. in a moment veronica will tell us what mother nature has in

president. i will go anywhere, any time to with anybody to find common ground. >> clinton's going to have her first interview since those benghazi hearings and it's tonight she'll be joining rachel maddow on msnbc starting at 9:00. big money is rolling into the state senate race in virginia to pay for ads promoting gun control and the father of the roanoke tv reporter killed on television is also lending his help. our northern virginia bureau chief julie carey tells us why so much is at stake in this con contest. >> this is a district that runs all of the way from prince william county from gainesville in the west to manassas and all of the way to woodbridge and it's opened for the first time in decades and if democrats can win it, they could regain control of the state senate and that's why governor mcauliffe and even former mayor michael bloomberg is so focused on district 29. >> democratic state senate candidate jeremy mcpike given a

prominent role in today's hillary clinton rally. >> governor mcauliffe says getting the pike elected is key to his agenda. >> need one seat to get control of the senate so i can get medicaid expansion and safe gun restricts to help to build a new virginia county. >> and he's been in local politics since he was first elected to the council in 1993. >> today this ad targeting parish begins airing and it features andy parker, the father of the roanoke reporter who was sthot death. >> the ad is part of a $1.5 million investment and the bloomberg group every town is in the race on behalf of democrat mcpike and they recently held a rally for his campaign. as a volunteer firefighter he says he's seen the gun violence. >> it's important to speak something that has real meaning to them. how he well understands the fear

gun laws went into effect in the state. for instance, there will be no live ammunition for sale and organizers at are admit it will hurt business a bit. maryland had one of the strictest laws and regulations governing gun sales when this is set up and ready to go. vendors will spend a lot of time washing potential buyers through the paperwork. >> people who buy guns and who follow the rules and get the training and who were fingerprinted and we're not interested in prohibiting those people from having guns. >> it's from anne arundel county and this is a great venue and there is a lot of space. >> the arena is actually on the property of the national park and planning commission so they have sme say in what goes on here, hence the ban on ammo. apparently, the board of directors made that decision and we're not exactly sure why, but if they don't want us to do it we won't do it. >> it's the regulated commerce

68 right now with the wind moving at 10 miles per hour. for the evening, it's going to get chilly and it's going to get chilly fast. i think we'll drop down to the 50s right after 8:00 or so and we'll continue there in that pocket of 50s for a good portion of the early night. by morning, 30s and 40s across our area. here is the forecast for saturday and the walk for hiv if you'll be taking part or maybe walking, 47 degrees and 49 between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. by the time you get to afternoon hours we'll be in the low to mid-50s. chilly compared to today and we'll see a high temperature of 65 degrees in d.c. and areas up north, 62, the high temperature for tomorrow and it could be a little breezy at times coming up tomorrow afternoon and then again on sunday with that next storm system coming through. so increasing clouds and mostly high clouds for tomorrow, but as i said, the forecast for sunday has improved and here's the

deal, early morning hours around 3:00, 4:00, 5:00 a.m. and that's the best time when we could see showers and by 7:00 a.m. just overcast and by 10:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. already those clouds will start to thin and the weather front pushes on out of here and we have sunshine on tap for sunday now and we have the green light on everything and early showers and the roads are fine and exercise will be cool with the clouds and that's early in the day and out and about the afternoon sunshine right now so get out and enjoy. the good-looking forecast in the 60s both days with just a few showers now for the early morning hours on sunday and great fall weather coming our way in this upcoming weekend and here is a look at the storm team forecast. we're still dry and then the mid part of next week, just looks as though we'll get a few showers coming our way right now with the next weather system from the remnants. whatever is left from hurricane patricia. that's the way it's looking right now. we have a look at the weekend rain chances coming up on news 4
