area. an air france flight headed from dulles to paris was diverted last night to nova scotia and an air france flight from los angeles to paris was diverted to salt lake city. the planes, passengers and luggage were all searched and nothing turned up. >> most passengers we spoke to today said they're patient about the delays. >> we expected there would be additional security precautions and that's why we're early. >> it's a little nerve-racking and i think we're safe. >> i trust in the system and have faith that everything will go okay. >> reporter: there are still air france flights taking off from dulles tonight as scheduled, but you should allow extra time for security if you're planning to fly. and we're tracking some showers out there right now across the region on storm team 4 radar. take a look. not a lot going on, but we do have showers that will affect your evening and make sure you're taking the umbrella and we'll show you along i-95 and

greyhound bus for more than 20 minutes and tonight he's talking about it. >> someone has to do something about this to get a longer life. or i'll never walk again. >> meet now james holmes. you might remember the scary predicament he was in two weeks ago. you see, he was the man trapped beneath a greyhound bus at 7th and mass avenue northwest. it took rescue workers about 20 minutes to jack the bus up and ever so carefully free him and take him to a nearby hospital. [ sirens ] >> i never hurt any job i worked on. i worked for 30 years. [ indiscernible ] >> i got hit by a bus. >> on the day this happened mr.

investigators believe the three suspects are members of the ms-13 gang. according to court documents the suspects believe cruz was affiliated with the rival gang so they shot and killed him in a wooded area between south lake elementary school in montt good morningry county. this type of gang activity is something john mccarthy says is extremely disturbing. >> it is pretty evident based on the intelligence that they're attempting to re-establish a toehold in the metropolitan area and specifically back here in montgomery county. >> reporter: that third suspect is a juvenile, but he'll be tried as an adult. >> we are told they've all been charged with first-degree murder and are being held without bond. >> coming up at 6:00, how investigators say they're working to try to dismantle these gangs. >> meagan fitzgerald. >> they're on a heightened alert after the terror attacks in paris and it is the fear of crime in their own neighborhoods that tops the concern for most people who live in the city.

a new poll from "the washington post" say most people, most people do not like how mayor muriel bowser is handling the crime. chris gordon is live with what the mayor is doing to ease those fears. >> wendy, we are reporting live tonight from northeast washington, a high-crime neighborhood. the mayor is here meeting with members of the community accompanied by the local d.c. police commander and representatives of various d.c. agencies. they are here to focus on the needs of this neighborhood. mayor muriel bowser is leading this neighborhood walk in northeast washington. this comes on the same day the new "washington post" poll says crime has become the number one concern of residents in the city. the spike in homicides has one in four residents who were polled saying they don't feel too safe. a majority gave bowser negative marks for the way she has handled crime, but she believes

her plan to give police body cameras and other tools will bring crime down. >> we increased our investment in our crime lab. we also put more community resources on the street, as well and we've been focused on jobs. >> reporter: it's not just the traditionally heavy crime neighborhoods that are a concern these days. crime has increased in every section of the city. >> reporter: you feel that the mayor and police chief are doing a good job? >> as far as the crime on this side of town, yes, but maybe not so much on the other side of the bridge. >> reporter: this evening the mayor is on the other side of the bridge. here in northeast washington, to learn what needs to be done to reduce crime here. >> we know that we have to work with communities, work with anc commissioners and work with our agencies to make our neighborhood safer. >> reporter: ahead, why mayor bowser is optimistic that her plan safer and stronger d.c. will succeed in reducing crime in the city. that's ahead on news 4 at 6:00.

more than half of the governors in our country and that includes maryland's larry hogan say they do not want syrian refugees in their state. a new bloomberg poll finds that's true for more than half of american, as well. tonight we wanted to put some of

the numbers into perspective. our area took in eight syrian refugees for all of the year 2014. that report comes from the office of refugee resettlement. that includes no refugees for the district, just two in maryland. six in virginia. when you look nationally, texas has the most overall refugees from all countries at nearly 70,000. california had the most syrian refugees than any other state. california had 132. while many fear the migration of syrian refugees into the u.s., one local government we checked with is opening its arms to shows fleeing the violence. david culver looks at what it takes to help refugees. >> these are actual pictures that we took while we were at camp. >> reporter: photos of those in need filled with gratitude lining the office walls of the commission. >> we were able to present this

to this man's daughter. >> its director, mark gibb among those spearheading the blanket drive. they've visited camps for the past two winters delivering 40,000 blankets donated into boxes like this one across northern virginia. >> i cannot tell you the outpouring of love as we delivered these blankes to the these poor people who literally need these supplies. >> reporter: that's helping those outside our boards. following the attacks in paris, there's growing fear of welcoming syrian refugees into the u.s. more than 60% of you who responded to the nbc washington question think the u.s. should refuse them entry. one person writing all americans should refuse to accept refugees until we have a fool-proof method for vetting those who come to our shores. this isn't hate speech and this is about the common good of americans. a very different message rolled out in the arlington county

website, welcoming those from syria. adding that they have no official role in the process. those placed in arlington county will have access to services such as citizenship and english classes even health screenings. those back at nvrc have seen a growing interest of those to help out. >> think the greatness of america is its generosity in its willingness to welcome. everyone has an immigrant story including myself. >> reporter: in arlington, david culver, news 4. the attacks in paris have put a spotlight in what they call messaging apps, specifically ones that encrypt their messages and make them self-destruct after a certain amount of time. pete williams joins with more. what are the companies that provide these ans doing and is the government doing anything to take them off the mark? >> the government is talking to them and they're not saying much in public. we had sort of a double-barreled talk about this today in new

york city from the district's attorney in new york who said there's a double-barrel problem. one is phones routinely lock when they're not used for a while and you have to type in a code, but if the phone is found at a crime scene, there's no way to make that phone unlock, even if the police go to the judge and get a court order and they take it to the company. we'll talk about private messaging apps in just a second, but this is a separate issue. this is the issue of the phones locking themselves. you have to dial a code in to get the phone to unlock. if the police find a phone at a crime scene they can't open it. they can't get the evidence and they can't see who the terrorists might have been talking to because that's the way the phones are designed if they have the latest apple and google software. so the district attorney in new york put out a report saying congress should order these companies to be able to unlock the phones if they get a court order. the second thing is what we were just showing you pictures of. these aapps you download these

apps to the smartphone and it's scrambled from the moment it's sent from the phone, called end-to-end encryption and the fbi if they're watching someone and have them under surveillance and if they use a software application like telegram which is a widely available one. the fbi can't read the text messages that you're seeing right now and they're saying the companies that make these apps should provide a way for the government to be able to tap into this. the tech community is pushing back here, you're either going to have encryption or you're not. once you put a back door intoing some, presumably only the companies can do it, hackers can get it, foreign governments can get it and it's not encryption anymore and it's something that the fbi has been warning about since may, but because of the attacks in paris it's getting more traction. we should note, however, that there's no indication that the plotters in may actually used this encrypted software.

some police officials here in the u.s. said they thought it was likely and some intelligence officials said they'd be shocked if they didn't, but we haven't seen any confirmation yet that in fact, they did. however, the french prosecutor did say today that a cell phone that was found and discarded in a garbage can outside the venue did have information that was useful. >> also, we saw isis posting that picture and photograph of what appears to be a soda can bomb. >> right. >> what more do we know? they say or claim that that's what brought down the plane. >> there's no way to be sure and experts say yes, it looks like a commercially made blasting cap. if the can held an explosive then it's probably enough, if it was placed up against the side of the plane, the experts say to do the kindf damage that brought the plane down, but we don't know if it was the actual device. >> pete williams, we'll be looking for you on "nightly
