>> thanks so much, tom. teams make a discovery combing through a lake in san bernardino. the fbi won't say what was found. they have been looking for any evidence connected to the terrorist attack. several things found under water were brought to shore. the big item they are looking for is a hard drive. there was a tip that the shooters went by the lake on the day of the attack. >> ntsb will be out digging through a small plane crash in pennsylvania. the tail number tells us the plane is owned by a montgomery county resident. it took off from nemacolin woodlands report. two people died whether it crashed. one person did survive and was flown to a pittsburgh burn center. preparations are underway for the funeral of a montgomery county police officer. noah leota died on thursday hit by a suspected drunk driver last week. visitation set for monday from

members and the mayor. the mayor's salary could go up from just over 30,000 to $50,000. the part-time elected officials are paid less than those in other places, like arlington county. if approved, the raise would take effect in january with new mayor. the council members have not seen a pay raise since 2002. the holidays are about tradition and honoring one another. that's why for 23 years and counting, thousands of volunteers lay wreaths at arlington national cemetery. last year, every marker, all 227,000 were covered. the group is bringing in more trucks and wreaths at 9:00 this morning. drivers should suspect big crowds, kristin. that's right. metro riders should expect crowded stations. for the event, metro is running

proposed ban. >> right now, at least six people are dead in a taliban attack in afghanistan. 12 others were rescued near the spanish embassy in kabul. four afghan police officers are among those killed. two others and several others were wounded. the area is home to many foreign ranking embassies and high-ranking government officials. >> we are getting answers as after neighbors say they have been stuck in the dark for three months. why they can't get anyone to turn their streets on? growing concern about extremism in america. why some fears center around who you marry. and omg, that may be your reaction when we tell you how a

welcome back. neighbors are tired of being dark in arlington. >> the street lights on one street have been out for months. >> they want the streets safe. >> reporter: brighteneded only by the occasional car headlights, the darkness of the 2000 block of north cleveland in arlington is not the most serious problem. for months, it has been a most annoying one for the people that live here. >> it is narrow. there are no sidewalks. a couple of my neighbors are retired. they are feeling like they are taking their life into their hands if they walk at night. they can't move fast if a car comes down the road and they don't see them. >> reporter: the ornamental cast iron lamps in this block and only this block have not been

working since september. >> we haven't been able to get anything done. they did come about twice and this he got fixed, every other light but that one was still dark. >> reporter: jessica rodriguez worries the darkness could also be an invitation to crime. >> our next-door neighbor, they are retired, in their 80s. she is really concerned. >> reporter: an e-mail, a spokesperson for arlington county's department of environmental services tells news 4, there is an issue with the disconnect box, which is more complicated than a simple bulb repair. we've ordered parts and are waiting on them to arrive. estimated time of repair, 2-3 weeks. >> that was jackie bensen reporting. just how easy is it to get a fake passport and how easy is it for isis to get their hands on one. investigation revealed chilling findings. >> let's take a look out the window on this saturday morning. tom says we are going to get

well into the 60s this weekend. it is unbelievable.

athens, is just a matter of price even for those who say they are shopping for isis. u.s. passports in the hands of isis fighters is a nightmare scenario. they were probably not good enough to get anyone through an airport. they could be good enough to be used through other places where controls are weaker. >> some military families who have lost everything are about to get some well-deserved holiday cheer. 1700 kids and spouses of fallin service members are flying to dallas this weekend. they will spend five days on an all expense paid trip, part of a snowball express and american airlines. the families leaving reagan national this morning will get the special sendoff they so deserve. >> take a look at this picture from an interstate in san jose, california. it was a lucky escape for a man in the bay area after a bizarre
