"news4's" derrick ward asked mayor bowser about the violence.
6:07 am
>> reporter: what do you hear citizens saying? that they're afraid to come out? >> i don't hear them saying that at all. they say they love being in washington, shopping in washington, they know there have been concentrated areas of violence and they feel pretty confident that the police will get on top of it along with other government agencies. >> one of the people shot was badly hurt. d.c. police are investigating all of the shootings. two cars co-lighted near a busy shopping center. take a look here. montgomery county fire was here. the road is back open this morning. donald trump is bringing his campaign to our area this week. he will be in manassas for a rally at the prince william county fair grounds on wednesday. here's a taste of what that might look like. at a campaign rally in florida yesterday, the billionaire arrived by helicopter. he also had a live el familiarity with his make

now to a story you're only going to see son "news4." a lucky escape for a virginia family after they were rescued from a bad crash. >> this is a pretty incredible story. it happened on friday another. this is out in poolesville. "news4's" darcy spence were a firsthandhand account from a man who said he had to do something to help. >> the accident was right here at this pole. >> reporter: he shows the curve where a car ran off the road and
6:13 am
slammed into a pole on thanksgiving night. >> i heard a lod crash behind me, and i looked in my rear view mirror, and i saw the vehicle in midair strike the pole and land on its side. >> reporter: the suv had what appeared to be power lines draped across it. a pregnant mom and her two kids were trapped inside. the dad was able to make it out. >> i heard little kids crying inside the vehicle, amd was like, i've got to get them out of there. >> reporter: tucci said he climbed in to the suh through the sun roo roof, helped unbuckle the mom and kids and pulled them out. a friend from germany helped him pull them out all before rescuers arrived. >> i'm really glad i was able to help them out. >> reporter: tucci said this spot is known as dead man's
6:14 am
curve and hopes safety changes can be made to make this curve safer. >> that was darcy spencer reporting. tucci said there are rumble strips may help keep them same. all family members involved in the accident are okay. thank goodness. wow. we want to check in with "storm team 4" meteorologist lauryn ricketts. it looks like we have a bit of a damp start. >> we do have a bit of a damp start. if you're traveling this morning and heading south, you're going to beat the rain because it is moving from the north to the south, but we've got rain across a good portion of the united states. let's get into it. if you do walk outside it's cooler than it was the past several days. wasn't thanksgiving so nice. we have rain chances today, tomorrow, tuesday, wednesday, and then it looks like we do
6:15 am
clear out late in the week thursday and friday we will start that drying out period. temperatures right now, they're sticking right around that 50-degree mark. 51 in washington, 50 in manassas, 46 in gaithersburg. for the most part we're staying in the 50-degree mark until the evening when we dry out. so once that frontal system makes its way to the south it will take the rain with it. the rain chances will decrease from the north to the south much of the day. you can see a bit of rain. that's why i said if you're heading south, you may face a few showers from richland to ashland. we have rain all the way back as we go into texas. this is all the same frontal system. it will eventually come through as we get through midweek.
6:16 am
good news is early this morning no airport delays across the united states. hopefully that's going to be the case through much of the day. as we all know, that's probably not going to happen. let's go ahead and time it out for you. we're heading into 10:45 and rain still draped across the commonwealth. as we go through the early afternoon, the redskins are playing the giants. we will have a few showers out there. then we keep the cloud through much of the day. maybe northeastern maryland not getting much. but we will continue to see rain as we head into monday night. we'll show you that on the seven-day. >> next up we have "reporter's notebook" for you. we're back in 15 minutes with more of this morning's top stories. good morning. welcome to "reporter's notebook." i'm pat lawson muse. easing the gridlock. they have agreed on another expansion of hot lanes in the d.c. region. the 95 express rays will be
6:17 am
extended north by eight miles to the d.c. line. they will replace the hov lanes all the way to the pentagon. there will be three instead of two, so three can ride for flee and drivers paying a toll will be able to access the lanes. all of this will be done by 2019 bridging a lot of relief to the biggest bottleneck. joe. >> 2019 is a long way between now and then. they have to do something, there's no ifs, ands, buts about it. i think it's a well thought out ideal. the thing that's concerning once again is the tolls. it keeps getting more and more expensive to go to and from work. >> that's been a big issue. but relief for a lot of people is worth the price. >> especially going into d.c., which i find pretty interesting. i think what's good is they'll find no interchange
6:18 am
construction. that's a good thing. the bad authentic is willing to pay the toll. arlington and alexandria, the cities there pushed back on this early in terms of these hot lanes. obviously something needs to be done. you're going have to expand the roads. those who don't want to pay the tolls, let's be honest. they don't want to see the hot lanes there because, listen, if i don't have three people in the car, then i have to ded side either i'm going pay or find a dirchd way to take the route i normally do. it might sound simple that it will make traffic a little easier, but if you're tired of paying a toll, then that's not a good thing for you. i think that's always a contest station here as to whether or not it's going go through or not. it's never a smooth operation in terms of getting it on both sides. >> dave, what do you think? >> i
6:19 am
up with the infrastructure as it relates to driving. it just doesn't work that way. and then here's the other thing a lot of people don't take into consideration. the arteries getting to these main highways gets clogged up and that's what frustrate as whole lot of people in northern virginia. >> and i think the money issue always comes into play too. how much will it be public, how much it will be private. prince william county orders
6:20 am
an audit on its immigration policy. it's being audited to make sure the police department is following longstanding policies. brie monte, is prince william feeling pressure from, for example, the debate over syrian refugees? >> the interests thing here, pat, is they may be trying to get out in front of this. back in 2007 it was when they when out and said 22% of the population is hispanic and they felt like there were a lot of illegal residents there and the police reacted by saying we're just going to stop people that we believe may be illegal. there was an uproar of that and and then they softened the policy saying, well, only those arrested, then we'll check to see if they're illegal immigrants. the policy softened but i think under the circumstances they
6:21 am
feel like we should take a look alt what we're doing. i haven't heard a whole lot of pushback saying we should have this audit. so maybe they're being more proactive, more proactive in the way they hoped it would be. >> isn't part of the deal if you see somebody or someone who doesn't seem to be the person you're usually seeing, maybe you want to report it? i want to say eavesdropping or more awareness? ? >> i think that was the issue before and that's where the hispanic community was pushing back on that. they looked spirns and now they change the policy to say, we'll check for those who have been arrested, but as that population grows, obviously that becomes more of an issue. i think the county maybe looking at this. >> what about -- you're hearing this again. if you see something, say something. >> but i also think this is being driven by politics, the current situation involved syria, you know. it seems like the chief of police there -- the chief was
6:22 am
sort of caught off guard because he was saying, wait a minute, i thought we were doing the right thing by reporting to i.c.e. and then i heard something that really bothered me. it was a term, and i guess it's a legal term in that part of the county where they're keeping an eye on or reporting illegal aliens. i mean like what are we talking about aliens. it really bothers me so i think a lot of this is politics driven by the recent news in reference to paris and the precaution, extra precaution. >> should montgomery county get out of the liquor business? there's a new push in the maryland general assembly to change the law. montgomery county is one of the few liquor-controlled counties in the country. they have to buy their alcohol from the county. that includes beer and wine. but opponents of liquor control
6:23 am
say the night life and restaurant scene are stifled. >> well t chair of the council says, listen, where are we going to replace the chair of the council who delegates this. they say that more restaurants are in this district and, therefore, the restauranteurs are losing the money. but then they say, wait a minute. if we flip this, we're going to lose $30 million. you can understand it. if you have a restaurant and you run out of liquor and the county does haven't any to come down the pike that night, yo you cannot go down to another store to get the liquor to serve to any folks who may want that. >> i don't think that's -- i mean running out of liquor is not a problem. >> sure it is. >> i don't know. >> it is if you run out of it. >> i guess if you guys are drinkers and you get upset about the bar running out of liquor.
6:24 am
we're kind of laughing about this, but this is really whether or not the county of montgomery county wants -- how they're going to replace that revenue that would be lost. this is a lo of revenue for that county, the liquor sales. >> yeah. i thit could be the trump case here because pardon me for -- >> trump card. >> i'm talking about the trump card, not the man in politics. but the situation here, they've tried to do this before, and they've never been able to do it. you have to figure the reason is it's such a large revenue producer for the county, they're not willing to give it up easily. >> the final decision will be made in annapolis. we'll be right back after this. e
6:26 am
democratic race for the seat being vacated by senator barbara mikulski. previous to that donna edwards of prince george's county had been leading in the polls. she also represents montgomery county. she had a financial disadvantage but she was leading in earlier polls, now falling behind. what's changing in this race? >> some say it would depend on who you're polling yochl dow the university of washington poll, it was a random sampling. then holland from the sun. so sometimes it depends on who you're asking. the edwards cam main would say look at our poll, you know, in terms of getting money from donors. this is the one you should look at. hollen would say look at it.
6:27 am
leading among female voters. that's got to worry donna edwards. what has to help her even though "the baltimore sun" poll says she's down by 14%, as you mentioned he's outspending her 4 is 4-1. >> it's still early. >> it's still early. >> van hollen has had the advantage of being the major fund-raiser for the democrats in the house, so people owe him. donna edwards, one thing she has gone for are the progressive liberals who tend to be very active. when you start looking at primary voters, these are your activists. these are the people who go to the polls in the primary. and so, you're right. it's a question of where the posters are targeting. >> the wild card in this campaign and this race has been elijah cummings and whether or not he'll jump in. dave? >> that's right.
6:28 am
if he did jump in, it would immediately show a rush of support for him and van hollen and donna edwards would have to watch out. in my understanding in talking with sources and joe and i had a conversation about this before going on the air, comparing notes, it appears at the moment, that could change, that congressman cummings is very happy where he is. he's a ranging democrat on a powerful committee that gets lots of it. and if the democrats were to ever take over the house, of course, he would be chairman. he's a seen yord in the house. he's a prominent member of the national party. if he went to the senate, he would be a new snort and while senators aren't as shy as they used to be, look at ted cruz, it would still be a different deal. >> you're looking at a man who is about, you know, mid 60s. by the time he got any seniority in the u.s. senate, he could be
6:29 am
almost 90 years old and who wants to go into the senate at 65, 66 as a freshman. the other thing that would happen, it would split that progressive vote. and you know who would be happier than anybody else if he got in the race? van hollen. >> we should note if there is a three-way race, it would come. >> memorial for marian berry. there is a very vigorous debate now under way to memorialize him in the district. what you do think? >> it's always you want to do the right thing but what is the best thing to do? would bit renamg the washington center which is named for walter e. washington, really, not the city. i would think most folks would
6:30 am
look at that ward where berry served, where they felt he was attuned to their needs and those were the constituents attached to him. yes, even though he's mayor of the city, the debate would be if they should memorialize him, where should it be? >> i've thought about this. you know what i would do? put a statue of marion berry in front of the john wilson building. i would do like the united states in chicago. michael jordan. alabama, bear bryant, the statue. that's where marian berry would vote. you can name streets after him, schools after him, buildings after him. this is a city of statues. that's what i would do. >> what do you think? >> i really can't -- i think all of those are a great ideas. marian berry plaza around the plaza. i mean that building was marian
6:31 am
barry. that was his world. from the time of the wounding to muslim uprising to time he was mayor, tumultuous years t a great things, the things they get mad at him. but that building personifies him. >> does it personify the city today? >> it's a very different city. i don't know if it's a city that berry actually -- you know, in many ways he helped move the city in this direction, but i think berry would say this is a city that has to be sure it doesn't leave out the least, and i think that's the position he would take. >> all right. thank you, gentlemen. thank you. that's "reporter's notebook." i'm pat lawson muse. stay with us. "news4 today" controls. continues.
6:32 am
hope you got your coffee. off to good start on this sunday morning. all right. you're set. good morning, everyone. welcome to "news4 today." i'm angie goff. >> and i'm adam tuss. light rate early on as you can see. and "storm team 4's" lauryn ricketts tells us it might stick around for a while. right, lauryn? >> i think so. at least through the first half of the day. we've been getting this problematic and kind of nuisance light rate overnight and it's continuing right through the morning into the early afternoon. let's get started. you can see the temperatures a lot cooler than they have been the last few days. right around that 50-degree mark. that's pretty much where we're going stay if you're in the shenandoah valley. for the most part staying right around here. the temperatures staying right around 50 degrees. we will have the showers in the morning continuing through
6:33 am
midday. they'll start to move south by the time we get into the afternoon and by 6:00 the temperature at 45 degree. there's that rain right there. all along a cold front that's slipping to the south. we do have rain chances in for most of the week. we'll be talking about that on the seven day and also when the best time to get on the road if you're headed out of town. all that in a few minutes. >> thank you so much, lauryn. all of the victims in the planned parenthood shooting are in good condition and expected to recover. they were safely evacuated during friday's shooting. the standoff lasted nearly five hours. some people sheltered in place at a nearby shopping center as police responded. >> gunshots. from there the bullets went through the wall. you could see it. you could smell it and see the gun powder. >> university of colorado colorado springs officer garrett swasey was killed in that

6:35 am
>> reporter: police need help in finding who left the baby there. and we leerning that a number of parishioners want the baby to stay in the con agree gaegs. the 5-pound baby boy was found in the church's nativity scene on monday. the mother is not being charged as a newborn can be dropped off anonymously at a church. today pope francis is in south africa with a message of peace. today he'll meet with muslim leaders. violence between christians and muslims in the area have displaced more than 1 million people. many hope it will encourage stability in the nation. a new report will reveal that heroin use in montgomery county is on the rise this year. there were 20 heroin-related deaths in the county in the first six months of the year. that's compared to 33 deaths in all of last year.

6:46 am
us consider yelling and very short and firm commands. >> if you don't obey those verbal commands, now i can put my hands on you. >> reporter: that's where things can get more complex. the officers are trained to meet resistance with an appropriate level of force considering all the factors in any one encounter to get control. that could mean control with the strike of hand or baton or control hold like this. >> get down, get down, get down, get down. >> pepper spray results after an act of resistance. the officer is going to give a verbal warning. i'm about to spray you. get on the ground, your hands on your back. >> reporter: police officers are quickly encountering an encounter. sometimes the appropriate response might be a taser. >> mostly it's toward those who are physically assault irv
