campus tonight. an alert from catholic university say as suspicious person was not the same person who prompted a catholic lock down last night. there was a report of a gunman who had made threats to a cu custodi custodian. >> it's a little upsetting it happened two nights in a row. as you can see there's a ton of police officers here and they controlled it really quick and all of us walked out to see what was going on. >> she was right about to go on campus and saw all the police and told theory run to the library. she decided to come to our apartment which is right there. >> reporter: the streets here has been cleared, the scene has been cleared and shelter in place has been lifted. a suspicious person has been located. we are waiting to find out if that person has been charged with any crimes. >> thank you. new tonight, prince george's county police apologizing over any confusion over emergency test in college park this afternoon.

of the most crowded roadways in northern virginia. secretary of transportation, aubrey lane said tolls inside the beltway are the key to f fixing that. >> hopefully it will reduce congestion. we just went through a process of coscoring it. >> reporter: not all applaud the road. they spoke here. >> no. my money's not going to go there. we're not going there without a fight. jobs are not 9:00 to 5:00 anymore, between sporting events and unpredictable hours, you cannot force people to commute and carpool. >> the plan only affects rush hour. right now, you can use 66 inside the beltway and rush hours if you have two or more people inside the car. that applies to the eastbound direction in the morning an westbound in the afternoon. the toll would let you pay to use the lanes without a carpool. >> what would you say to some drivers who are concerned it

could cause more traffic. >> part of this has to be -- our modeling shows it frees up not only 66 but the other seven roads around there. >> you can still use the roads for free if you carpool during rush hour and after rush hour is over, the tolls go away when it's over. >> and the good news this is revenue will stay here to make it better. >> reporter: they will take a vote tomorrow and we will post results on our nbc washington app. live in falls church, i'm shomari stone. more on the pepco-exelon merger that could have an impact on your electric bill. protesters held up signs oppo opposing the merger and inside company representatives held a town hall meeting and made their case for the merger saying it would increase jobs and
