disciplined for her actions, but they have found that in their handbook they don't have wording that's strong enough to deal with bus drivers who text while driving even though it's a violation of maryland law. coming up on news 4 at 5:00, what the new language looks like. in upper marlboro, tracee wilkins, news 4. new this afternoon, news 4 just spoke with the father of the man who died after crashing his car into a ravine. workers were mowing the grass along the vw parkway in laurel yesterday when they spotted the car at the ramp to route 198. it was overturned in the water and marcus lee freeman's body was inside. his family reported him missing nearly two weeks ago. our pat collins is working on getting us that interview now. we're going to try to get to pat at 4:30. i'm julie carey at the fairfax county courthouse. accused killer charles severance turned down his chance to testify in his own defense but

still had quite a speech for the judge. the defense rested its case completing its presentation of evidence it hopes will convince jurors that charles severance has been wrongly accused of killing three well-known alexandria residents. judge randy bellows then turned to severance asking him if he was aware he had a right to speak in his own defense. severance replied, "a man witnessing against himself, that's a 1791 idea." then he launched into a history lesson about his view of the origins of the 5th amendment which protects a person from being forced to testify against himself. severance eventually asked all charges be dismissed then fell silent. ahead at 5:00, i'll show you a brand new video introduced by the defense. it shows an earlier and much different view of the target surveillance video that prosecutors claim shows someone who looks like severance stalking one of the victims. back to you now in the studio. just days after a u.s. delta

force commando was killed in an isis raid in iraq we're being worned more raids like this are likely to happen. defense secretary ashton carter told the senate today u.s. forces will not hold back from supporting partners in attacks on isis whether those attacks come in the form of air strikes or direct action on the ground. last week u.s. forces came to the aid of a kurdish team as they tried to free 70 hostages held by isis in northern iraq. a baltimore police officer has been charged with assault and misconduct after prosecutors say he spit on a suspect. officer robert messner was suspended after a video came out showing an arrest that he made two weeks ago. the suspect was handcuffed on the ground and it looks like messner spit on him. baltimore's mayor urged the officer to resign. a major step in the process to put toll lanes on i-66 outside of the beltway. just a few minutes ago virginia's commonwealth transportation board approved this concept. final designs are still in the

works, but two new express toll lanes are expected to be set up in each direction between the beltway and route 15 in haymarket. the lanes will give drivers the option of paying a toll to get around traffic. carpoolers can use these lanes for free. construction of this project is slated to begin in 2017 with the toll lanes open to traffic in 2021. well, from the roads to the rails, news 4 can now report the metro board is very close to picking a new general manager. interviews for the two finalists are being held off site away from metro headquarters. a selection is expected this week. sources tell transportation reporter adam tuss the front-runner has a transportation background, but not necessarily a transit background. metro has been criticized for taking so long to find a new leader. an interim gm has been running things since january. water service is now back on for parts of falls church after

a six-inch pipe broke today. the crews had to use shovels to get to that main on south maple street. that pipe was close to a gas line. the workers didn't want to risk hitting it with their heavy equipment. that's why they were using shovels. the pipe broke about 2:00 in the morning when it was 46 degrees. fairfax water says more pipes could break as wintry weather approaches. >> these guys are very dedicated to their work. they'll be out here if it's 4:00 a.m. and 4 degrees outside fixing these water main breaks as quickly as they can. >> maple avenue is expected to re-open in the next hour. there is a lot of controversy surrounding louden county's proposal to build a new power line. it's all up for discussion tonight. the county proposed two options. both generally aligned to route 606 and 50. dominion virginia power wants to build the line along the south side of route 50 and that's not going over well with a lot of businessowners and homeowners. they don't want massive transmission lines in that area. now tonight's public hearing is

at the government center in leesburg. there's another hearing on thursday. and at 4:00 we're still working several developing stories and that includes that video of that dramatic, even violent confrontation in that classroom where the officer throws a student to the floor. we're getting new information on just what led up to that dispute. talk about a testy trap. what happened when local drivers were given undercover warnings to put the phone down. start paying attention.

and now your storm team 4 forecast. >> the rain has arrived in many neighborhoods and it's only going to get worse here. not so much for the the evening but overnight and throughout the day tomorrow. look at temperatures in the 50s right now. they're going to hold in the

upper 50s this evening if not start rising, i think as we approach 11:00 p.m., midnight. early tomorrow morning, cool conditions but warming with more rain expecting to make its way up over our area. the big story for tomorrow morning is not just the wet weather, but the fact it's already going to start getting windy. we'll have a lot more on when the highest winds and when the most rain moves through our area. doug's got that in a few. >> all right, thanks, v.j. hard to see the difference between the harbor and the road in charleston. take a look. towns along the south carolina coast are flooding partly as a result of something a phenomenon, it's called king tides which means the moon is passing close to the earth. that's what's causing it. add to that, days of heavy wind and rain from the remnants of hurricane patricia. >> we want to warn you that a lot of people have been troubled by this video. the takedown of a teenage girl. now the fbi and justice department will investigate what happened. now this all happened yesterday in spring valley high school in

columbia. the school officials say the girl was disrupting class and when the teacher ordered her out of the room she refused to leave. the video, you see the school resource officer overturn her desk with the student still in the chair. then he seems to put his arm around her neck and drag her to the front of the classroom. the officer's white, student is black. the sheriffs office calls it disturbing. >> the sheriff and the school district are going to come together and they will take appropriate action necessary once this investigation is totally completed. >> they're still looking into it. the resource officer has been put on leave. coming up in the next half hour nbc's jay gray will report on other parents and students who have made claims against that officer. looks can be deceiving. local distracted drivers busted with the help of an officer in disguise. you've probably seen the kids are roaming around in their costu costumes. halloween coming up four days away. away.

the washington post endorses democrat jeremy mcpike for state senate. applauding mcpike's "ideas about getting traffic moving." the post warns republican hal parrish "holds rigid positions against medicaid expansion and common-sense gun safety." and parrish was the deciding vote to restrict women's health clinics in manassas, forcing women to go elsewhere for cancer screenings and birth control. jeremy mcpike is the better choice. i'm jeremy mcpike, candidate for state senate, and i sponsored this ad. i'm jeremy mcpike, candidate for state senate, who can name the third president? and the largest planet? someone we haven't heard from. anyone else? when comcast offered low-cost high-speed internet to low-income families, more than two million hands went up.

parents still need to be wary even if your child has never had an allergic reaction before. i'm meagan fitzgerald in montgomery county. police are cracking down on distracted driving. their new tactic leading to 56 tickets, 22 warnings in 2 hours. river road is one of the places where officers say distracted driving is a problem. so today they were out pulling cars over one by one. some folks were talking on their phone. others were texting. all are against the law in maryland. but it's not like they weren't warned. corporal robinson who may seem homeless at first was holding a sign warning drivers that montgomery county police are watching. >> people are hurting each other because they're on their phones instead of driving and paying attention. >> reporter: police will be back out at various different locations throughout the county doing the same type of enforcele. they're hoping drivers get the message before their injure themselves or someone else. back to you.

and now your storm team 4 forecast. >> oh, and that forecast has a lot of rain in it over the next 24 to 30 hours. 30 hours, that puts us right at about 11:00, 12:00 tomorrow night. that's when we expect this to be over with. between now and then the rain gets heavier. the wind really picks up as well. take a look outside right now. kind of a dreary shot from our reston live camera. one thing you notice, there are a lot of colors. beautiful color right here, right along the dullas toll road. it is cool but on the dreary side for sure. the kevindy se kennedy center, degrees. the winds will be picking up on through the overnight, too. notice the temperatures. only 51 in tulculpeper. 57 over toward gaithersburg. temperatures overnight tonight will actually be going up. tomorrow they're going to be 10 to 15 degrees warmer than where they are are now. that's the only good news i would say is coming out of this forecast. storm team 4 radar tracking the shower activity.

again, we've got the rain down toward the south around the waldorf area. the heaviest rain right now, i wouldn't even say heavy, let's say the steadiest rain coming right along 301 from clinton down toward waldorf. right on down across the river and over toward woodbridge and down toward quantico. we'll continue to see showers develop, increase in size and intensity and coverage as we move on through the next few hours. you notice the bulk of the rain kind of getting out of here right now. we've got those northeasterly winds. surface, dry, the atmosphere, we're not seeing a lot of rain. that's why we told you yesterday we would not see much rain today. here's where the rain is to the south. heavy rain coming through parts of south carolina, on shore near the atlantic. gulf of mexico moisture, atlantic moisture. by tomorrow all of that moisture is around the region. 7:00 a.m. tomorrow, notice the rain. everywhere. going it be a very wet day. around 11:00, some enhanced rainfall here. any time you see the yellows that's means we are going to see the potential for some heavy rain. it comes in and out during the day. it will not rain all day long, but it will rain off and on all

day long. some of those showers will be heavy. look at 5:00 tomorrow night. look at the enhancement here. any time we get this enhanced rainfall, we could also get the enhanced winds that come with it. those winds could gust upwards of 30, even 45 miles an hour possibly even higher. i wouldn't be surprised to see trees down, maybe branches down. watch out on the roadways. the roads will be wet and leaves, the wet leaves will be very, very slippery over the next 24 to 30 hours. now, wednesday, high temperature tomorrow of 70 degrees. thursday looks great. a high of 74. we come back down. friday, high temperature only 58. right now, saturday, halloween, looking pretty good. temperatures around 60 degrees. by the way, tomorrow, a weather alert day. we'll continue to keep you posted. >> all right. well, that forecast was kind of scary. this is a scare you don't want this halloween. an allergic reaction to that candy. dr. jackie of family allergy and asthma care in gaithersburg joins us with tips for a healthy halloween. if your child has never had an allergic reaction to any of this

stuff, does that mean you're free? you're free and clear? >> no. unfortunately, in fact, there was a new study that just came out that talked about 10% of school-aged kids who have never had a reaction before actually did. so what i'm suggesting is be careful. if this is the first time your kid has had a peanut or tree nut, be observant. you have four days left until halloween. if you think your kids have an allergy, maybe you want to see an allergist, we can tell you for sure. it's better to know than not to know. >> what are the biggest allergic concerns? >> there's a couple. the first starts with food. the foods are the big three ones. milk meaning no chocolate. peanuts so there's no reese's. egg means there's no nugget. realize fun foods like laffy taffy have a little l bit of egg in them. read the labels. if it says it may contain, it really may contain. >> what do you need to do? is there anything, an epi-pen, anything you need to have on hand all the time?

>> we have a list of what people should be doing. starts with carrying the epi-pen especially if it's been prescribed for you. the second thing is this teal pumpkin which is a little symbol that will be in some people's windows and tell you there's a food or an allergy-free home. a food-free home. the michael jackson costume should be very popular amongst food allergy kids. if they're wearing a glove, they won't be able to cross contaminate as they reach into the bowl and get food. last, look at the wrappers. make sure they're completely in tact. >> it's not just the food allergies that are a problem as well. i mean, the costumes, there's other things that can cause rashes. >> that's right. and it starts with things like asthma, such a popular thing for kids that have food allergy. you know, they're running around in the cold weather and as doug just explained how the weather is going to be, that's perfect asthma weather. be careful about that. seasonal allergies, you're trouncing through people's yards with all their leaves that are falling and can really kick up your seasonal allergies. the buttons and buckles on the costumes, if you have a nickel

allergy, be careful. best to really try that ahead of time because you can get a contact allergy. a bit of a rash. then last is the makeup can make you break out. some of the face paints in particular. and some of them even actually have egg in them. so be careful there. more than just food allergies. there's a whole host of scary things that can happen to allergic kids on halloween. >> wow. before we just had to worry about cavities and our older brother stealing our candy. it's gotten so complicated, hasn't it? thank you. >> sure. >> just went through that whole peanut thing with my kid. it is no fun for anybody. holiday shopping wars are taking to the skies. we've got the inside information on walmart's big drone delivery plan. plus, dog named bambi being hailed as a hero. putting her own life on the line to save a family member.

firefighters' attention and would not leave until they had rescued him. >> i couldn't believe she was alive. i really couldn't. everything was just -- i couldn't see or breathe. i thought i was going to die on those stairs. the fact my dad and my dog were still in there, so that's the hardest part. >> well, the dog and her owner did suffer from serious injuries from severe smoke inhalation and they are both in the hospital. >> boy, what a story. you got to hope both of them are going to be okay. >> yeah. >> yeah, that was pretty amazing. you know, a popular retailer is asking the entire nation to just opt out of black friday. >> reie plains why it's closing its doors and what it wants you to do instead of shopping. meanwhile, walmart is doubling down on at-home delivery service. how the retail giant plans to jump into the drone game. and lots of rain and wind are going to be moving into our area. our team of meteorologists tracking what will be a nasty 24 hours, folks. our coverage continues right after this.

rain, yes, but nothing too heavy so we're just fine. more cautionary, though, for not only tomorrow morning's rush, but tomorrow afternoon. and tomorrow evening. we've got wet, windy, nasty conditions so you'll want to leave early by tomorrow afternoon. even the potential for some thunderstorms. and some very high winds. so we'll be bordering even on hitting the red. as far as showers out there now, some south of the area overspreading, pretty scattered and pretty light. nothing, again, heavy. in terms of tomorrow, though, again, some thunderstorms for the afternoon, after 1:00, 2:00. we'll start to see the potential for some strong storms. i think our greatest risk is right here. hagerstown to charlottesville, fredericksville, reston, fairfax, as well as leesburg. that for tomorrow afternoon. this whole area will be shifting east for the evening. doug has more on how that will impact our evening rush tomorrow coming up in a few minutes. i'm pat collins at the scene

of a startling discovery alongside the baltimore/washington parkway. a car goes off the road, and then into those woods. and into a pond about 100 feet below. in that car, the body of 26-year-old marcus lee freeman. he'd been missing for ten days. he told his family he was going out to get gas, but where did he go? what did he do? and how did he end up down there? today, i talked to his dad. i'll have the story coming up at 5:00. now back to you. right now, president obama wrapping up an address at a meeting of the international association of chiefs of police and he focused largely on tougher gun laws this afternoon. the speech comes as violent crime has spiked in the city in which the speech occurred, chicago. police there blame it largely on an influx of illegal guns from

neighboring indiana. today president obama put the need for new gun laws in the context of keeping police officers safe. >> the fact is that it's too easy for criminals to buy guns and that makes your already dangerous job far more dangerous than it should be. and -- [ applause ] and it makes the communities so fearful that it's harder for them to be a good partner with you. >> the event just wraps up in chicago. chiefs of police in attendance today spoke for the need for universal background checks. at the live desk, i'm scott mcfarlane. well, we are just one day away from the next milestone in the presidential race. on the republican side the candidates will square off tomorrow night. it will be the third republican debate. and as steve handelsman reports, the front-runner baton in that race has just changed hands.

>> reporter: perfect timing for ben carson, the day before the debate, he leads for the first time in a national poll of republicans. carson at 26%. donald trump at 22% in the cbs/"the new york times" survey. the famously liberal boulder, colorado, the site of the gop debate, there are republicans. brian bower is one and he's impressed by both outsider candidates. >> i do like trump's aggressive personality. i like carson's subtle personality, but i think he can still get the job done. >> reporter: brian brinkley is torn between trump and carson. if you had to pick one now, which would you pick? >> me, i'd pick trump right now. i think he'll learn to rein it back in. >> reporter: trump who touted polls that put him on top called the latest round unscientific and on the phone to msnbc trump went after carson. >> everyone should knock out medicare, i heard that over the weekend. he wants to abolish medicare.

i think abolishing medicare you're not going to get away with that one. >> reporter: carson said he'd reduce poverty to make medicare unnecessary and he'll defend himself on the debate his staffers say but remain low key. >> you know, some people think he's laid back. i don't think very many people think that he's too laid back to be president. i think that people really, really appreciate his temperament. >> reporter: but the front-runners and the eight others at the debate seem sure to clash in the mellow foothills of boulder. before the main candidates tangle there will be another undercard debate here for others. most can no doubt be motivated by another finding in today's cbs poll that 70% of republicans are not sure who they will vote for. i'm steve handelsman, nbc news, boulder, colorado. just a few hours ago a group of mortgage professionals came to capitol hill trying to correct the problem of why latinos and african-americans still aren't buying many homes. i had a chance to moderate a

panel of experts along with republican and democratic lawmakers including representative loretta sanchez. the culture in some families means they use cash which is harder for banks to measure. so experts are coming up with new ways to measure who's worthy of credit including factoring in how they pay their rent, cell phone bills, and utilities. the goal is to open up home ownership to more qualitied people. holiday shopping season is already upon us. >> yes, and we're in -- most retailers are are trying to come up with attractive promotions to lure holiday shoppers. one retailer bucking the entire seasonal trend. >> yeah, that's right. rei is going to close all 143 stores nationwide the day after thanksgiving. they're encouraging shoppers to go outside. nbc's wendy wilfork has the story. >> reporter: it's not even halloween and the countdown is already on for the frenzied holiday shopping season except for one retailer.

>> going to close all our stores, going to close our distribution, our headquarters and we've decided to opt outside. >> reporter: outdoor gear and sports retailer rei has canceled black friday. no extended hours, no door buster sales and no standing in line the day after thanksgiving. >> it's a day i think that's become synonymous with a lot of consumerism and it's part of why we've chosen this day to send a different message about what's important to us. >> reporter: hoping to start a new black friday tradition, their website is even encouraging shoppers to do something that doesn't involve shopping at all. >> probably about 99% of my holiday shopping online. >> reporter: according to a consumer survey by retailmenot.com, much of that shopping will occur before thanksgiving. >> 85% are actually expecting retailers to have deals in the stores before black friday. >> reporter: so maybe rei's bold move to stop the madness of black friday and go outside

might actually start a new trend. >> it's always hard to guess what's going to happen over the holiday sales. as you might imagine, we're hoping for some snow and some great outside weather certainly helps our business. >> reporter: an unprecedented business move that might change the holiday shopping season for good. nbc news. and still ahead, new information emerges about the woman behind the wheel in that deadly crash at oklahoma state university.

and we're looking at when we could expect the heaviest rain to develop and most like tlaly that's tomorrow afternoon. tomorrow afternoon, future weather around 5:00. notice northern virginia in very heavy rainfall, maybe some thunder, lightning, there, too. if that's the case, we're going to see some wind. watch what happens around 8:00 a little bit of a break here, right, but then watch as the actual cold front comes through and look at the line of storms that develops. if this does, in fact, happen we could see 30, 40, even 50 mile an hour winds. now coming up, veronica johnson is going to have a little bit more on what to expect rain wise. how much will you see? when will this rain move out? she has the forecast in just a minute. right now the chinese government is tracking a u.s. navy ship that is sailing close to a disputed island in the south china sea. this guided missile destroyer went within 12 miles of an artificial island built by china

people who were killed at the parade. five more are still in critical condition in a hospital. dramatic accounts from survivors about the cause of a whale-watching boat capsizing. and we're still following that developing story in south carolina. the justice department has launched an investigation into that classroom confrontation. now we've uncovered new information about the resource officer involved.
