here. >> what's your reaction to having a body in front of your house? >> i guess i was kind of overwhelmed. it's the most surprising thing that ever happened to me on christmas. they have remembering chaed santos osorio with murdering armando soriano. they argued on camp elger avenue. the victim serrano pled by foot. they say osorio chased serrano into the next block stabbing him with a sharp object. >> they were able to determine that they'd been drinking at this party around 4:00 a.m. and an argument erupted over one guy's tattoo, and i think alcohol was the biggest factor here. >> mr. harmon tells me there may be an eyewitness. >> my neighbor across the street actually heard the disturbance and looked out and saw a fight or something and whatever and he called the authorities.

me she's wrong. >> bill clinton remains the most popular democratic surrogate and someone popular with independents and moderates and the same group that donald trump himself struggles with. >> without support from women and minor the is, jeb bush says trump cannot be a serious nominee. >> to win you have to get to 50 and to get to 50 you have to draw people toward your cause rather than push them away. >> reporter: president obama touch on the negative tone of the 2016 race. i don't think this country works best on fear. i don't think this country works best on hate and i don't think this country works best on cynicism. the president was named top man in the new gallop poll of people most admired by americans and hillary clinton was named most admired woman for a record 20th time. >> clinton is shrugging off trump's attacks on her husband saying they're all part of a campaign filled with bigotry, blufter and bullying.

ed weather is making an impact on the people heading home from the holidays. we just checked and the flights headed to chicago, detroit and minneapolis, st. paul they're being impacted the most, but there is some good news if you are flying out of reagan or dulles. you may not have to wait as long for your uber or your lift. it will come at a cost, though.

news 4's transportation reporter adam tuss is live at reagan with that story. adam. >> that's right, wendy. those car-sharing companies now have their own designated parking spaces at the airport, but if you use those car sharing companies it will cost you $4 extra for the trip. still a lot of people we talked to say the convenience of them outweighs that cost. >> the lapine family just out of an uber here headed off to chicago. they didn't know about the new airport fee for these types of car services and four bucks if you get dropped off or picked up here, but frankly, they didn't mind. our luggage fit and the seats were nice and big so i'm not complaining. >> these car sharing companies are starting to dominate how people get to and from the airport and so much so that the drivers have their own designated space on airport property and no shortage of business. >> uber drivers themselves see the benefit. >> it's better than a lot of

&háhp &hc% parking and it's good that they give us space and this is the new order of business at the airport. a far cry from the traditional cabs that sit in rows and wait until they're called and the cars are put in a virtual cue and when it's their turn it's time to pick up passengers and not every airport in the country allows it, but at reagan and dulles, all early signs point to positives. >> we're looking at what's working well for our passengers and then we'll make adjustments as needed. >> for now, a big adjustment with the hope of a better airport experience. >> now you want to learn more about these new rules and regulations for car sharing companies and we've got you covered. it's in the nbc washington app. just search ride share. jim, back to you. thank you, adam. >> well, folks. break out the bandwagon if you haven't been on it, but who was?

who knew? football fans eager to jump on that thing. there's one game left and it really doesn't matter. regardless of the outcome the team is headed to post-season play. who would have thunk it? going to the first playoff game could create a dent in your wallet. our pat collins out in dupont circle. what have you got? >> hi, jim. there is an energy in our city i haven't seen or felt in a long, long time. it's redskins and football and it's the playoffs! >> on the streets of our city. >> i can't wait. i can't wait. i was so happy they got in the playoffs, i was, like, ooh! >> at the ticket broker's office. >> it's a day of surprise because nobody can believe we are where we are. >> at the skins' souvenir shop. >> i came to get my hat.

my jersey. usa! >> when they came back triumphant early sunday morning and all of the fans showed up to welcome them home! why, it was like old times! so who is the mvp of this skins team? >> it would be kirk cousins. >> reporter: and why? >> and why, because he's matured tremendously as a quarterback. i think he's the quarterback of the future. >> reed. reed. >> reporter: and why? >> because he's consistent with his catches and he's strong. >> at the redskins store they're calling out all of the numbers and number 86 is the reason i'm here. jordan reed. number 86, 92, 98, all of them good to me. this play off game is a home game and if you want to see it

in person you'll have to pay the price. prices are starting about 150 a ticket just to get into the building and if you want to get downstairs you will probably spend 250 a ticket and if you're someone that has to sit in the best seats in the house be prepared to spend 500 a ticket. you know the best thing about this whole situation? the cowboys aren't even a factor. the skins play dallas on sunday and that game means nothing. jim and wendy, back to you. >> you know. so much nothing i'm thinking they ought to put you in at quarterback or whatever position you want to play. let all of those guys sit down and take a rest. you can handle cowboys, couldn't you, pat? >> reporter: me, you and nine other guys. we'll take them on. i need a mouthpiece, though. >> then we'll have our reunion in holy cross or suburban. some hospital somewhere. thanks, pat.

>> you know, we asked people to weigh in on whether kirk cousins now deserve a contract to keep him with the team next season. most of you say yes, indeed he does any here's jason pugh with a look at what's coming up in sports a little bit. >> the redskins are still riding high after winning their nfc east division and they're locked in the playoff game, but who will be their opponent and we'll break down the possible playoff matchup us coming up in the next half hour. >> also tonight, behind the scenes at dulles airport. we'll show you the odd items that people leave at security checkpoints and the challenges that come with trying to get them back. >> and severe weather is impacting millions of americans and we have snow, flash flooding and tornados and now that system heading our way. doug has a look at what we can expect by the time it

still been kind of hard to dress. yesterday, maybe it was the shorts today and maybe it was the coats and tomorrow it will be the umbrellas and the jackets and then we'll see. right now we have the winds starting to pick up and winds starting to gust upward of 20 miles an hour and that wind will help temperatures to rise overnight tonight and you can see what's happening with those winds. also the wet roads and winds out of the east at 12 miles per hour and as i mentioned some higher gusts being reported and still rather chilly tonight. 39 in gaithersburg and 40 in

culpep culpeper. we started off the day at 12:15 in the morning at 60 degrees in d.c. and temperatures came down by 15 degrees and they will rise 15 to 20 degrees during the day tomorrow so we're not going to stay cold at all. >> we have showers that have formed and they continue to move on through the region and some showers around the culpeper county area and more toward the loudoun county and over toward the hearndon and westin region. prince george's county right along 495 and back toward the hearn donne and reston area and all of this with the light shower activity and it will continue some of the showers moving toward the anacostia area and right down nats park and seeing light rain there and the wider view not showing much and these light showers just continue to develop back to the west and it's the monster storm. look at this thing wrapping itself up and snow to the north. severe weather down to the south and this was from a storm

yesterday and the storm leaves 43 dead in 11 states and this really is one monster storm making its way through the midwest and the plains and this is the tornado in the texas region where one of the tornadoes was rated an ef-4 tornado with winds of 200 miles per hour and that same storm system prompting flood warnings all across the mississippi river valley and it is a mess there. for us, fortunately, not nearly as big of a bless, but we are going to see the rain and here's the storm. i want to show you the latest advisories and winter storm warning to the north and look how much of the country has some kind of advisory and even a tornado watch toward parts of florida and southern georgia. for us it's just rain, rain coming in around 7:00 and by 11:00, and if you're heading out this evening, take the umbrella with you tomorrow morning and you will need that umbrella and i think the heaviest rain moves in tomorrow morning and lasts through 10:00, 11:00, so the commuter forecast, 5:00 and 8:00

and temperatures rise to 55 degrees and up to 66 with just clouds and maybe even a little sunshine tomorrow afternoon. the next couple of days and 56 degrees on your wednesday and 53 on thursday and then, yes, a new year's chill coming up expect 43 on friday and the cold air looks to remain and i've got the latest at 6:45. >> thanks, doug. the outrage is growing and tonight there are new calls for action and answers that two people were shot and killed by police in chicago. >> lessons learned. how local police were trained to handle crisis calls in hopes of avoiding scenes like that one in chicago. i'm scott macfarlane at dulles international during the busy holiday travel week and a lot of people moved through the checkpoint too quickly and a war room of

chicago mayor rahm emanuel is dealing with yet another crisis involving his city's police department and he cut his holiday vacation short to deal with it. >> on saturday a 19-year-old was shot and killed and the mother of 5 was killed in the cross fire. chris lawrence is in air live desk with the latest on this. >> jim and wendy, that teenager's father is filing a wrongful death lawsuit and claims there is video of at least part of the confrontation. quintonio legrier was gunned down saturday after police say

he became combative and was threatening his father with a bat. legrier's neighbor was also killed and bettie jones opened the door for police officers and was accidentally killed by gun fire. the fact that an innocent bystander was killed shows there are major issues in the police force. >> you call for help and the police are supposed to serve and protect us and yet they take the life. what's wrong with that picture? it's a badge to kill? i mean, where do we get our help? >> family members say legrier recently developed a mental illness, but he wasn't a violent man. the mayor is making some changes. he announced that officers involved in these shootings will now immediately be removed from the field. jim? >> thanks, chris. many families can understand the anguish felt by that family dealing with a relative suffering mental illness and unfortunately, the majority of

officers here are not trained to handle the crises. a father and centison team are g to change that. >> reporter: they get dozens of calls for incidents of mental health issues and those continue to rise. >> 500 calls of month with someone who might be psychotic and paranoid. that's a lot of pressure an officer and if they aren't trained to deal with that you will have tragic results. >> reporter: pete early knows firsthand what it's like to call police because you need help with a family member who is mentally ill and possibly violent. >> these people are in the midst of a mental breakdown. they're not -- they're people like my son. they're not hard core criminals and they're people who are sick and deserve compassion and help. >> early says the police who responded to his call for help tased his son and then hog tied him. he considers himself lucky that his son wasn't killed. in montgomery county, officer

scott davis oversees crisis intervention training. he knows first hand how the proper training can save lives. just months after he was trained in crisis intervention he responded to a man threatening people on a bus with a butcher knife. >> they described him as just a mad, crazy person running around with a butcher knife and i went to approach him and he produced a knife and i drew my weapon because the individual was coming toward him with a knife and believe it or not he was able to talk him off his knees and we got him mental treatment and i ran into his sister and he's working construction in silver spring and is very productive. so it works. >> montgomery county police say they're getting 300 to 400 additional calls each year for incidents involving individual suffering with mental illness and as for how many officers have the specialized crisis team training and in montgomery county, it's 650 officers and half the force. in d.c. it's 787 officers and

that's about 20% of the force. in fairfax county, they're now aiming to get 100% of their officers certified in crisis intervention. >> thanks, mark. for more on nbc 4's changing minds project including fairfax county's effort to train all of its officer and a local resource center we invite you to the website and search changing minds. >> a top maryland lawmaker is weighing in on the search for justice after the death of freddie gray in baltimore. mike miller told wbal news radio that he thinks there should have been a change of venue for the six police officers accused in gray's death. the trial for the first officer william porter ended with a hung jury earlier this month. >> should not have been tried in baltimore city and there say mistrial and it's a very difficult to have a fair trial with that emotion-charged area.

>> miller says he will be re-examining the laws concerning officers who are accused of wrongdoing during the upcoming legislative session. meanwhile, the trial of a second officer in the gray case is set to start next week and a retrial for porter, that first officer is set for june. >> the murder rate in d.c. is rising as the d.c. police department faces a ten-year low when it comes to staffing. washington post reports the number of officers has fallen below 3800 for the first time since 2005. the post says between january of 2014 and october the department lost more than 750 officers, but only hired about 560 officers. the homicide rate in the city now stands at 160 for this year so far and that's more than 50% spike from last year. >> a holiday hangover at our local airports turns out

hundreds and hundred his of passengers who flew before christmas didn't make it home with everything they had packed. scott macfarlane went behind the scenes at dulles international to explain. >> reporter: the holiday travel weekend was frantic at somedy(+ point in our local airports and frantic for some people and so many people leaving valuables behind and the local airport tsa checkpoint. >> just look at the holding room at dulles international. passengers left jewelry, packed luggage, walking canes and dozens and dozens of coats and belts and phone chargers and more. >> so this is a christmas present we just picked up the other day. one of those new drones which i guess they'll have to register pretty soon. >> that's a few hundred dollars. i would assume, yeah. >> federal records show local airports alone travelers left behind 500 laptop computers or tablets in recent months and one

of every five went unclaimed. and they show so many small items were never recovered and the agency has donated 4,000 pounds of passenger belongings to virginia as charity this year alone. >> rodney ruffin realized he'd left his watch at the checkpoint moments after going through, but didn't go immediately back to search. you didn't have time to go back. >> i didn't have time to come back through security again with my wife. i just wouldn't have made it. >> tsa reunited ruffin with his watch this afternoon. the lost and found process at reagan national and dulles international can be confusing. lose something in the terminal and you have to call the metropolitan washington airport authority and at the gate, you call the airline and it's tsa. the thing is you have to know where you lost something. scott macfarlane, news 4. if you need to get something you left behind at the airport

and you'll find them on the nbc washington app. >>ing come up next, a symbolic move from a recent health scare at chipotle restaurants. >> plus a dilemma from people who donate to charity and why your identity could be compromised if a new proposal goes through. >> we're watching light rain across the area now and heavier rain just down to the south, that is moving in, too and i'll show you when the heaviest will move on through

it's the end of year and it's a time when many of us make last-minute doning as to charities and other non-profits. some are afraid that a new ro poefl by the internal revenue service could hurt donations. tom sherwood reports. >> how do you do that? >> reporter: at the latin american youth center gift bags were still being gathered today. the small staff serves more than 4,000 multicultural youth in

d.c. and maryland suburbs and it values every donation it gets. >> nowadays every non-profit was going after individual donor dollars and that's a lot of work. >> lori kaplan's non-profit nationwide are worried and a proposed irs rule would collect social security numbers with any donation of more than $250 a potential bookkeeping nightmare. >> you look at what goes on with hackers and what's happened in for-profit companies and the federal government and there's so much paperwork already. >> the proposal would be voluntary if it goes into effect, but the much larger food and friends which serves more than 1 million charity meals each year says the irs proposal would discourage donors. >> that puts a huge burden on non-profits especially small ones. >> reporter: the irs is still weighing its new rule. there is a move in congress to block it. tom sherwood, news 4.

it was a show of support or the best ways to prove the food and the restaurant are safe. boston's health inspect or had lunch today at the chipotle that was closed after the noro virus outbreak and the restaurant reopened after 140 people got sick eating there just a few weeks ago. inspectors believe the likely cause was a sick employee and not contaminated ingredient and that's what closed dozens of chipotles back in october. in its heyday they called him the crown prince of basketball and now, the harlem globetrotters team is dedicating its 90th anniversary tour to george lemon. we all know him as meadowlark. he passed away yesterday in arizona. he spent 24 seasons with the globetrotters playing in more than 7500 consecutive games during their team's golden era. at one point they played 350-some days of the year.

lemon's slapstick and his skills impressed popes, royalty, presidents and fans in nearly 100 countries. he left in 1980 to form a team called the bucketeers and later he became a minister of the gospel. meadowlark lemon is in the basketball and the international hall of fame. we have lost a national treasure. >> up next, the secret of synthetic drugs. tonight our i-team reveals the unexpected places that are seeing a surge in cases and the dangers that often follow. and you're taking your life in your hands every single time

it's not just a city problem. police in virginia say synthetic drugs are popping up all over the state in places you might not expect and with deadly consequences. tisha tochl ahompson and the ne i-team say they vary dramatically depending where you live. >> as you drive past the farms lining the byways along the shenandoah valley you may not think this is virginia's biggest synthetic drug zone. we're seeing it across virginia,

but not necessarily in the inner cities. the greatest increases in virginia have actually occurred over the past couple of years in win chester and down in southwest virginia largely rural areas and not urban poor populations and working areas and rural farmlands and that kind of thing. >> victoria cochran is virginia's deputy secretary for public safety and homeland security which we discovered has been keeping some of the best records in the nation on synthetic drug seizures. >> what we haven't addressed and what we're trying to address is how these drugs move and where they go. >> that's why she says virginia invested in some of the high-tech equipment available to screen drugs seized by state and local police. >> the packaging it comes in does not indicate what is actually in it and so someone using it obviously doesn't really know what chemical they have and neither do our scientists when they are doing the analysis. >> but the director of virgin

virginia's crime lab says by simply waving a sample, her chemists are now identifying previously unknown chemical combinations for the first time and they're realizing synthetic drug use in the state really depends on where you live. >> it really is regionalized. we, as a laboratory are not always, you know, sure of what the reason is for that. >> she says between january and august of this year, police in northern virginia primarily seized chemicals found in bath salts, flakka, molly and mbob and the northwestern part of the state had much less number of synthetic cannabinoids so they can be smoked. >> the majority of the synthetic dru drugs that are available are out of d.c. and owl of west virginia, philadelphia, pittsburgh. >> wally stoudemire says their small agricultural town sits at the crossroads of several

highways linking it directly to big city drug markets. he grew his beard out for undercover drug operations which helped him seize these packets smuggled in from west virginia. it's not an african-american drug. it's not a white suburbia drug. these are marijuana users who for whatever reason decide to use the synthetic cannabinoids probably because it was a little cheaper or a little easier to get at the time. >> but things turned deadly this year in winchester in what's been dubbed the smarties case in which a woman took just one of the altered candies. and they had been dosed with a synthetic hallucinogen. >> the crime lab discovered it was one of the first cases involving the synthetic drug which has been linked to a high number of deaths. >> if that mixture of chemicals is just enough to do something to your body once ingested you

have no control over that. you have absolutely no control and you're taking your life in your hands every single time that you use or take one of these drugs. >> one of the biggest problems with synthetics is they have so many names and we've created this synthetic drug dictionary where you can see what flakka and mbomb really look like and find out if they're responsible for some of these deadly overdoses. you can find it all by going to our home page at nbcwashington.com or our nbc washington app. tisha thompson, news 4 i-team. >> well, we finally got a dose of winter after a tropical christmas. >> it was 70 degrees yesterday. >> i'm well aware. we set a couple of records and we tumbled down in the low to mid-40s and tomorrow back in the 60s and that little dose of winter and 2016 will start off cold and we'll get to that in just a second because we've still got some 2015 left and right now we're dealing with rain and 44 degrees and notice the temperatures over the next

couple of hours and not going down and they will be going up and we will see the chance of rain on the increase over the next few hours and here's the rain right now and notice not much in the way of rain and light showers and fauquier county and prince william county and look back towards garrett county and freezing rain advisory here and we have some freezing rain in our area and for the most part it's just rain coming through fairfax and that will be the case tonight. here's where the heaviest rain is back to the west and all of this will move our way and we'll start to see this fill in as we move into the overnight hours and by tomorrow morning we'll be dealing with rain and temperature around 56 degrees and make sure you give yourself extra time and take the umbrellas, you will need them and the showers begin to move on out and 63 degrees by 10:00 and maybe some sunshine tomorrow afternoon as the storm system moves off before the sun goes down and if we get that we bump up to the mid to upper 60s and what to wear tomorrow? it's the jacket, rain boots and

the umbrella and we've seen that a lot in the past couple of days and we've not seen much with winter coats and a chance of a shower. most of us dry. 43 on friday and saturday a high of only 42 and windchills down around freezing for the weekend so a very cold weekend making its way our way. coming up in just a couple of minutes. jason pugh [mother] yeah but this neighborhood,i feel like it's got a lot of what we were kinda talking about. we should definitely go see it. [agent] hi. melanie. maggie. living room. [dad]what about this? this looks good. [brendan] no. [mother] isn't it great? [agent] hey brendan,you might like this room.

[announcer]redfin pays its agents based on your happiness... that's real estate, redefined.

suffice it to say, yeah, we like that, right? >> we like that. >> who would have thought the redskins would be in the playoff? this redskins team may have proven to be a very good football team especially when they're playing at home and not many people outside this area are buying into this team. the skins could face three different opponents in the first round of the playoffs and they're already underdogs against all of them. whoever they play, green bay, minnesota or seattle, but that doesn't matter who was on the bandwagon because these players are starting to believe. >> we're right where we want to be. this is where you want to be. to have a home playoff game and be division champs. it doesn't get better than this right now. >> now we want three games in a row and we check off the nfc east and now it's time to bring this home to the city and the

fans deserve it about and we need that thing rocking in the playoff game. >> so the nfc playoffs. three teams could be at fedex field and the vikings, packers and seahawks and green bay and minnesota play sunday night and the winner of that game wins the nfc north and if the packers lose they face the skins. if the vikings lose and if the seahawks lose minnesota will be at fedex field. in order for the seahawks to play the redskins they have to beat arizona this weekend and they need the packers to win over the vikings. did you get all of that, vance? >> no, but we'll talk after it, okay? i need a pen and paper. >> the redskins are in the playoffs and that's all that matters. >> we like that and they have a good chance against any one. any thee of those teams. >> i would like to play probably green bay and minnesota. >> this year, i would rather play green bay than the vikings. >> when pat collins down the street they were saying green bay.

>> hope for the packers lose this weekend. let's move on to college football and it's crazy to say and think this considering roger stauback and he may be the greatest players to ever put on a jersey for the mid shipmen and the senior did not disappoint. reynolds led the team in passing yards, rushing yards and receiving yards. he also sold popcorn during halftime. final chapter of his historic career and against pittsburgh and we've seen this so many times over the last four years and finds paydirt. and this is 14-7 and later on, reynolds showing off the arm and tyler carmona with the 11-yard touchdown and they're trying to pull away from pittsburgh and the fourth quarter and pittsburgh with the nine-yard score and he finished with 317 total yards and three touchdowns

in this game and he's now the all-time sbs leader in touchdowns and team reynolds goes out a winner and they take this game 44-28. also tonight the return of paul pierce. he makes his way with the clippers back to the verizon center and he was so clutch for the wizards in his only season a year ago and how about the playoff run and so many memorable moments and remember atlanta and hoo may be gone, but the lessons still resonate to this very day. >> definitely, everybody learned to dunk a little bit better after having him for a year. he's hands down the best trash talker in the league so we definitely can go in that direction with him today because we'll lose. >> i had a lot of fun, being around the young guys and teaching them every day and this was one of my funnest years. even if it was one year i had a lot of fun being around these guys and they welcomed them with

open arms and i embraced the city and they embraced me back and i enjoyed my time here. >> let's see if they can keep it up tonight. >> two serious champions. >> that's it for now. this is the best block of all. it's like candy cane lane. i know. oohhh. oh, holiday ferris wheel. i kind of love it. look at those reindeer. jeffrey, you're awfully quiet back there. i was just thinking... maybe it's time we finish this test drive and head back to the dealership? that is so jeffrey... soooo jeffrey... so jeffrey... oh. elves.. it's practically yours. but we still need your signature. the volkswagen sign then drive event. zero due at signing, zero down, zero deposit, and zero first months payment on a new passat and other select models.
