face detours and metro's new gm says he can't put a time table on when the system will be 100%, but he promises near normal service tomorrow. transportation reporter adam tuss had a snowy bus stop in northwest d.c. with the challenges you will still face tonight. adam? >> reporter: that's right, jim. take a look right here. say you come to the bus stop, this is what you're facing as you try to get on the bus. most people have to walk around, wait in the crosswalk, or wait in the street then to get on the bus. as metro announces that it's going to be near normal service tomorrow both on trains and buses, we're still dealing with issues like this, but metro believes it's getting there. still not entirely up to speed. >> we have to get back to normal. we are getting back to normal. >> reporter: but still not entirely normal. the jeng manageneral manager te reporters the blizzard is still

causing issues. >> we're putting out the service we're comfortable with that we're not going to leave people stranded. >> reporter: trains continue to run with longer wait times and some rail cars have to go through maintenance. metro is promising more frequent trains tomorrow but they may be six rail cars instead of eight. scenes like this playing out on social media, packed platforms. how much will this storm cost metro? >> it's close to about $7 million that we've lost in terms of revenue, and you think of it, it's almost like a bell curve. as people started to not use the system as much, as the storm approached, the revenues went down. >> reporter: there are other expenses, overtime, contracts that need to be paid to remove the snow, even putting employees in hotel rooms. bus service trying to regain footing but there are challenges there as well. metro relies on jurisdictions to help clear the bus stops. most bus service is expected to be running tomorrow however. metro wouldn't put a grade on its post-storm efforts. the gm only saying that the

agency responded well. now, one of the questions a lot of riders have been asking, if we're not getting peak service, then why are we paying peak fares? coming up next hour at 6:00, i'll tell what you the metro general manager said about that. now with more on the snowy cleanup, let's send it over to chris gorden in white oak with what drivers have been facing. hey, chris. >> reporter: well, this is the problem behind me, adam. you see this huge pile of snow. i measured it, 12 paces out into new hampshire avenue here in white oak. it blocks two lanes of traffic and the bicycle lane and behind me you see a bus approaching it and the people are going to get off and have to walk in the street here on new hampshire avenue. you see it happen live. so people in this area have been asking the question, when will state crews widen montgomery county's main commuter routes? gridlock again. commuters moving slowly on old

georgetown road toward the district. it's become a traffic pinch point forcing drivers into only two lanes because snow piles still block the curb lanes. >> i think it's really slow due to the ice. it's making it a problem for all the drivers. only two lanes are open but it's actually three lanes. >> reporter: as you drive throughout montgomery county you be -- you can be surprised by a snow pile in the right-hand lane. a convoy of front end loaders and trucks from the state highway administration digging out two right-hand lanes from the beltway north to white flint. >> the roads are pretty good for me and i'm coming all the way from anne arundel county. >> reporter: we saw the massive snow clearing evident by state crews on many of the main routes into the district used by montgomery county commuters.

so state crews are doing pretty well around montgomery county but so far have done nothing here on new hampshire avenue. that bus behind me is the -- okay. thank you very much. that bus behind me is the same one that was here -- >> this is the problem. clear the sidewalks and the plows come along and then you have this stuff which is like impossible to clear because it's all ice and rock. >> it's challenging. you know, the stores are out of salt as well. >> it was refreezing over and over and over. >> this is not great. this is bad. >> for a lot of folks it was bad overnight and it was bad this morning. but doug, we're already looking ahead to tonight and hoping it's a little bit better? >> you know, i think tonight will be a little bit better than it was last night as the temperatures go down. they're not going to fall nearly as quickly. last night by even 9:00, 10:00 we were in the low 20s, even the teens across parts of our region. that's not going ton t be the c

tonight. we have some cloud cover and that will help temperatures to moderate. they'll fall but they'll fall at a slower pace. 39 in gaithersburg and in d.c. 39 in manassas. so we don't have far to fall, but again it's going to take its time getting down there tonight. ice forms late they are evening. let me start this again. travel troubles again. we know we'll have those especially tomorrow morning. take your time, pack your patience. i have been telling new for days. tomorrow still tough on the walking aspect. parking still an issue because most of the street parking is just nonexistent right now. so once again i continue to say pack the patience. we're going to need it all the way through next week. by next wednesday most of the snow may just be gone. some chaotic moments during the morning commute inside one of metro's busiest stations. this all started when a group of teens apparently attacked a man as he got off a train at the gallery place station. police arrested them after they

hopped a train and rode to woodley park. news4's pat collins talked to a witness. pat is live in chinatown. do we have any idea what started the melee. >> reporter: apparently it was just an exchange, one man getting off the metro car. this group of teens trying to get on the metro car. something happened, exchange of words, a sucker punch, and then came the attack. you know, police are calling this a case of wolf pack violence, a group of teenagers attacking a man here at the gallery place metro station. we're going to begin our story now with some words from a witness. >> these kids, ten of them, at least ten, just stomping him, hitting him. i could hear people screaming, but no one doing anything. >> reporter: that's leann wiggins. she was there on that red line train this morning when a man was attacked and beaten on his way to work. this security camera video from

the scene shows how quickly it happened. shows how the man was pushed to the ground, shows how the crude of teens ran back to the train to make their getaway. >> it happened in a matter of seconds. from the time the car door opened until the car door closed. a 35-year-old man gets off the metro redline here at gallery place. he encounters a large group of teenagers. one of the teenager sucker punches him. he hits that teen back. and then a group of the teens jump him, hit him, kick him, and leave him injured on the platform, and then those teenagers, they get on that redline train and they take off. later police stop the train at the woodley park station and arrested six teenagers, ages 16 to 17, five boys, one girl, all six students at wilson high school. miss wiggins is calling for

action to better protect metro riders. >> something needs to be done so that people like us who work hard to make our money, this shouldn't happen. it shouldn't have happened to that gentleman and i hope he turns out to be okay. >> reporter: now, the victim was taken to the hospital. he has a head injury, but they say it's nonlife threatening. coming up at 6:00, more reaction from metro riders. jim, back to you. >> pat collins. pat, thank you. police in the district are being recognized tonight for a reduction in the number of times officers resorted to force. that's the finding of an ifd audit. it shows d.c. police have cut the number of times officers fired their guns in half over the past ten years. in fact, d.c. police opened fire 15 times last year. >> remains best in class on this issue. >> the audit was critical of the amount of time it took the department and the u.s. attorney to investigate incidents

involving officers. police chief cathy lanier says she welcomes the report and will implement some of the nearly 40 recommendations. a dentist accused of sexual taking advantage of a patient during a procedure is out of jail this evening. police say he assaulted a patient who had gone into his d.c. office to get a cracked tooth fixed last year. the patient was under anesthesia but partially woke up during the assault. the defendant appeared in front of a judge in the district and was released on personal recognizance but was placed under supervision. police hope this image of a mirror found near a hit and run will help them track down a driver. someone hit and seriously injured a pedestrian near the intersection with veterans highway. they believe it came off a 2003 or '05 ford expedition or lincoln navigator. that driver's right side mirror is probably still missing.

police are looking into a deadly shooting that happened right around dinnertime last night. someone shot and killed derrick mccray on st. barnabas hill yesterday. officers found him lying in the street. no word oon a possible suspect. there is a $25,000 reward in the case. a montgomery county women is facing dozens of animal cruelty charges as officials try to find a place for dozens of dogs rescued from her home. she admitted to running that rescue at her home in rockville. earlier this month officers rescued more than 60 dogs living in deplorable conditions. several of the dogs have been placed in homes now, but there are still about 50, including some older and special needs animals in need of adoption. the repair work is still and you way. in fact, it's all wrapped up in the district after something knocked a fire hydrant underground and caused water to

gush for hours. crews were digging on calvert st. for what they thought was a busted water main. d.c. water said it's possible the hydrant may have been covered by snow and that a plow could have hit it. there's some good news for drivers after this snowstorm. i'm mark segraves. nearly half of you won't have to pay your snow tickets. coming up, eiffi'll tell you wh off the hook and who still has to pay. world health officials say the zika virus is exploding explosively. our doreen gentzler explains where the cases impacting so many babies is on the rise. plus a local police officer got a big surprise during a routine traffic stop.

this week we learned someone in virginia has a confirmed case of the zika virus. >> there's growing concern that virus will spread to the u.s. doreen gentzler is here with me. >> get ready to here more about the zika virus. this morning the world health organization said the virus is spreading explosively in the americas, and they called an emergency meeting for monday to share information with member

nations. as we saw with the ebola outbreak a few years ago, it will take a worldwide effort to try to get this under control. >> reporter: the level of alarm is extremely high. that's how the director of the world health organization describes the growing cases of the zika virus in more than 20 countries. >> it's epidemic now in the americas, throughout south america except for chile and central america. >> reporter: the virus has been particularly virulent in brazil where health officials have reported up to a million cases while w.h.o. is predicting up to 4 million people could be affected in the americans this year. zika was originally discovered in the 1940s in uganda, and it's been regarded as relatively mild, but now there's new concern that it is possibly linked to some severe neurological birth defects. >> normal, healthy adults it's not a terribly dangerous virus. for pregnant women though, as people have probably heard, there's a much greater risk for

passing on zika virus to the fetus. babies are being born to mothers that have been affected with zika, some of them, reports are stating, have smaller heads and have brain developmental abnormalities. >> reporter: the only way the zika virus can transmit is through the bite of the aedes mosquito which is an urban dweller and that makes mosquito control that much more critical. >> we're not controlling the mosquitoes the way we could perhaps control them. >> reporter: there are now at least 30 reported cases of the zika virus in this country, including one confirmed case this week in virginia. all of those people are believed to have contracted the virus traveling overseas but now there's concern that the virus will take root in this country. >> people are very concerned about it migrating further north, particularly when the weather gets a little warmer, to

florida and the gulf states. >> reporter: as public health officials work to get a handle on this, the u.s. government announced this week it is beginning research on a zika vaccine. >> reporter: nih will lead that vaccine research but it will take time and it certainly won't be ready by our mosquito season here. you can learn more about this in the nbc washington app. search zika. you can also find a link to the latest information from the centers for disease control there. jim? >> doreen, thank you. it was a lucrative six days for the district. more than $1 million in fines issued as more than 5,000 cars got tickets for parking on snow emergency routes. mark segraves kept a running tally of the tickets on twitter and that went viral and today he's got some new news. not everybody will have to pay up. mark? >> reporter: that's right, jim. more than $1.3 million in tickets issued to drivers in the district over the snow emergency. people who were parked illegally on snow emergency routes like this one, wisconsin avenue here

in upper northwest. and as you said, that made a lot of people very unhappy. but there were also a lot of people like the mayor who said, hey, those cars had fair warning, and the city needed to get them off of those major roads. well, as you said, today the mayor has some good news. she has voided more than half of those tickets. today mayor muriel bowser voided more than $700,000 in parking tickets issued during the storm. >> they were caught in an emergency not of their own making and the city should have put its resources into cleaning the streets. >> reporter: that's how lots of people felt about all of the parking tickets issued during the snowstorm. the snow emergency began friday morning at 9:30 and lasted until wednesday evening. mayor bowser wanted the cars off the major roads so plows and first responders could get through. during the course of the storm, 5,479 tickets were issued for a total of $1,369,750, and 690

cars were towed. many to impound lots, others simply relocated to side streets. >> can't say that i have any sympathy for people who didn't move their cars. i mean, they knew it was coming. >> reporter: today mayor bowser voided all 2,800 tickets that were issued on the first day of the snow emergency, friday. in a statement bowser defended the ticketing practice but said she was sympathetic with those who may have been caught off-guard on friday. this ticket dismissal, she says, is one small way we can continue to help each other recover from the storm. so if you've got one of those tickets on friday and you already paid it, you're going to get a refund. if you haven't paid it yet, don't worry about it, it's been voided. you can flow that away. if you were one of the hundreds of cars that were towed on friday, again, you don't have to pay that ticket, but you do have to pay the $100 tow fee and the $20 a day storage fee.

coming up at 6:00, we're going to tell you why the remaining $600,000-plus the district may not be able to collect all of that. pat, back to you. >> mark segraves. well, we are now just four days from the iowa caucuses. right now republican presidential candidates are preparing to go head to head in their final debate before monday. they will be debating without their front-runner. despite donald trump saying he's not debating tonight after a feud with fox news and moderator megyn kelly, he's still atop the nbc news/"wall street journal"/maris poll with nearly a third of likely gop caucusgoers. ted cruz, who had been leading, has fallen to second place. marco rubio is in third. ben carson rounds out the top four. on the democratic side, hillary clinton and bernie sanders are in a dead heat heading into the caucuses. clinton holds a slight edge, about her lead is within the margin of error. martin o'malley remains a distant third.

among supporters, sanders has a big majority when it comes to voters under 45, while clinton has the edge on those over 45. we invite you to stay with news4 and nbc news throughout the presidential primary season. our own aaron gilchrist will be reporting from iowa beginning on monday morning. brand new cars damaged in the blizzard. find out about another dramatic shift in our weather next. and digging out of debt can be easy if you've got the right tools. and we have two easy ways to

right now crews are out at a car dealership in montgomery county after the roof came crashing down during the blizzard. it crushed three cars. check it out. this is the scene earlier today at the herb gordon volvo dealership in silver spring. that roof caved in during the storm on saturday. we got a lot of melting done today. doug, now we're heading back in the other direction? >> yeah, now we got falling temperatures once again. the good news is temperatures will not fall as quickly as they did last night. most areas in the teens last night. that's not the case tonight. down towards national harbor, one thing you notice, we are not seeing the ice. last couple days the ice was all the way past the marina here. right now that ice right along the shore. so you can tell we've seen some

of that warming across the region but we still have the ice on the potomac. towards downtown we have the snow out there. 39 degrees, winds out of the south. two things that will help our temperatures tonight. one, the cloud cover. two, the winds out of the south. temperatures not falling ought that much and right now everybody above freezing. 41 in leesburg. 39 in annapolis. dunkirk coming in right around 38 degrees. it's chilly, but it's not frigid and we're not seeing temperatures below freezing. even by 10:00 tonight, here is future temperatures, 10:00, 36, d.c., 33 gaithersburg, 32 at hagerstown. last night at this time at 10:00 at night we were around 20, 21 degrees. so that's not going to be the case tonight. so the roads will not freeze nearly as quickly as they did last night. but by tomorrow morning here we are at 7:30, we are below freezing in most locations. so tomorrow morning's rush will be similar to what we saw earlier this morning so take

your time and pack your patience. we've got the cloud cover. you can see the clouds moving up from a storm system down to the south that will ride up the coast but it's just offshore. if it was onshore, it could be a different story but this will be just offshore. it is bringing, however, a lot of very heavy rain towards florida, even severe weather. another possible tornado today around the delray beach area. that happened a little earlier this afternoon. that storm moving out to sea and behind it we get colder for tomorrow. between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m. for the kids that do have school tomorrow, 30 degrees. rather slick conditions early. by afternoon, 34. temperatures around 36, but it will be breezy and cold. windchills tomorrow in the 20s all day. so, yeah, very cold day. 7:00 a.m., that windchill between 25 and 30. same thing around noon, and by 4:00 that windchill between 20 and 25. so a very cold friday across our region. and right now the weekend looking warmer. back up to 42 on saturday. still cool but much colder so another refreeze overnight friday night into saturday morning.

49 on sunday, close to 50, and by monday we're at 63 degrees. find out what comes next in the forecast. verronica has that for you at 5:45. i'm julie carey in loudoun county. sidewalks buried in feet of snow call into question when they will be able to open the schools. i'll show you the flurry of activity on the school properties to try to get ready. plus, how a routine traffic stop ended with the birth of a baby. and a long-time maryland judge is on the other side of the law. why he's the one who is about to face a judge.

you're watching news4 at 5:00. could you just hear the big sigh of relief from some parents in northern virginia today? >> a chorus out there. some school districts announced they will reopen tomorrow, but hard-hit loudoun county, it's not one of them. bureau chief julie carey is live with the hard work underway to dig out the schools. julie? >> reporter: well, just down the street at stonebridge high school it has been nonstop plowing today, and they are making good progress there, but here is the problem. underneath this pile of snow i'm standing on is a neighborhood sidewalk, and that's what could stand in the way of schools reopening. it looked like a snow moving contest in the stonebridge high school parking lot. plows and bobcats scooping down

to the pavement, mounding up or carting off the snow. the school district deployed 90 pieces of its own equipment with 40 contract trucks pitching in. high schools get cleaned out first but there are 89 schools in all. >> we come in and focus on the larger schools first. the high schools which are the bulk of the snow removal and we step down from that. >> reporter: but take a look at this walking path used by dozens of stuns to get to school. cleared off on school property, snow covered on the adjacent property. and then there are the sidewalks alongside some of the main routes to school covered by huge snow boulders left by sfrtreet plowing. on this ashburn farm street, the sidewalk has been shoveled, the boss stop is clear. it's getting to the bus that could be a problem. >> we're pretty confident we'll have the skoods reachools ready on monday. the big question is what the local community can support as

far as being able to get the kids safely here. >> reporter: this mom's kids catch the school bus but she raised another concern, just how tricky it is to even navigate some neighborhood streets behind the wheel. >> i mean, it's scary when you're driving along and all of a sudden goes down to one lane and everybody is like slamming on their brakes. >> reporter: and then add kids to that mix. >> yeah, yes. >> reporter: slowly but surely they're heading back to school. three northern virginia suburbs sending the kids back to school, alexandria, falls church, and spots i wile vain ya. pat, back to you in the studio. >> julie, thanks a lot. well, we spent this week digging out of the snow, but what about digging out of credit card debt? >> consumer reporter susan hogan explains how to tackle the balance. susan? >> well, that's right. it is a financial strain on millions of americans, and if you're spending was a little out of control over the holidays,

now you're paying for it literally. instead of going into panic mode, we've got simple solutions to get your budget back on track. >> new year's over and you start getting those bills coming in. >> regina said she gave her credit card quite the workout over the holidays. >> probably more than i should have. >> reporter: and now she's trying to figure out how to pay it off. >> $2,000, 30 00. >> and that's not alone. >> i spent more. my credit is almost mack myself t -- maximized right now. >> you can ask for a lower interest rate and for serious debt, talk to a nonprofit counselor. bruce mccleary is with the national foundation for credit counseling. >> even if they're making the minimum payments, they're spinning their wheels, going nowhere. >> look at your credit card bill. you will see a box that shows you just how long it will take to pay off your balance if you

only pay the minimum. the nfcc's most recent survey found one-third of americans don't track their spending. >> that's very dangerous, especially for those who are living paycheck to paycheck. >> reporter: mccleary explained two ways to get rid of credit card debt. the snowball method works like this. rank your credit card from lowelow est balance to the highest. pay the minimum payment on every day and put any extra money to the card with the lowest balance. get it paid off fast first. >> then all the money that was going to that can roll to the next highest balance. you start to see faster results. >> reporter: the next method is the ladder method. >> that's where you rank your credit cards highest interest rate to lowest interest reigh rate. >> put extra money towards the card charging you the highest interest rate. some say this method will save you the most money over time but it may take longer to pay off. >> you might not see those results very quickly, but once that's paid off, then you go to the next highest interest rate

and so on until all of your credit cards are paid off. >> reporter: bottom line -- >> pick the plan that motivates you the most because that's how you're going it get to the finish line. >> i'm going to try to do better next year. i always say that and never do, but i'm going to try. >> try hard. we have good news. if you actually need financial counseling, you can find free help on our nbc washington app. you just have to search debt and also one other thing i want to tell you guys about. coming up tonight on news at 6:00, i have a follow-up to our consumer investigation on that latest death involving the takata air bag. we talk to a car safety expert that every driver needs to know. >> thanks so much. kirk cousins has surely become a star in d.c. these days. >> lots of questions and media attention about a new contract. some guys might shy away from the public but not captain kirk. >> we caught up with cousins at the washington auto show. i guess we could say he's in the

driver's seat. >> this is the first chance to catch up with cousins since the redskins' playoff exit. he lives in his in-laws basement in atlanta in the off-season but he came back to town just for this event. excited to see redskins fans again and why not when people are asking you to sign their babies. the line at the washington auto show seemingly endless to get an autograph and a handshake with the star quarterback. as you have probably heard, the biggest topic concerns cousins, a new contract. he will be a free agent this off-season. we had a chance to go behind the scenes with the qb and ask him for an update. >> i really don't have anything to tell you. i mean, it's very much in the early stages and thins are getting figured out and ironed out and there's a long ways to go before there's any decision off. >> high/low of the off-season so far? >> just having time off to relax and rest and get re-energized has been the high. and the low i don't have

anything to complain about. i'm feeling good. >> no beard. a new look going. >> that was julie's request. my wife said that's got to come off. i said it would last as long as the season was on. >> coming up, cousins shares one of his proudest accomplishments that season and what it has to do with his in-laws. open up the washington app and search cousins. >> that has hash tag on it, less beard, more money. get it going, carol. >> i like him without the beard. >> coming up, a prison escape but the people who have been arrested are not the violent convicts on the run. and one woman's early morning trip to the hospital takes an urgent turn. coming up, i'll tell you the split decision that was made that ended with a healthy baby boy coming into this world.

here in the 2800 block of duke street. i have a vehicle parked in the middle of the road here. the female is going to have a baby. send paramedics to my location. >> an unexpected twist today when an alexandria city police officer pulled over and erratic driver this morning. >> less than a minute after stopping the car, officer michael garcia was helping deliver a baby boy. northern virginia bureau reporter david culver is in

alexandria where he's just finished talking with the new mom. david? >> reporter: hey there, pat and jim. so often we think the worst when we look up in the rear-view mirror and you see a police officer following closely behind you, but for one mom who is now resting in the hospital behind me, it proved to provide a useful set of hands. >> my daughter si mom, mom, the baby coming. the baby coming. i say wait. >> reporter: that was the yell maria heard from the backseat of her car. it was coming from her pregnant kaur kenya. >> reporter: it was 2:00 in the morning, freezing cold. they were initially headed to an dover fairfax coming in from maryland but they decided because of the urgency they had to go to alexandria. maria pulls over on duke street and notices someone was following them. >> i see one car. i can see it's police. >> reporter: listen to officer

michael garcia calmly radio it in. here in the 2800 block of duke treet. i have a vehicle parked in the middle of the road. the female's going to have a baby. please send paramedics to my location. >> reporter: but the baby wasn't waiting. >> he catch the baby. i say push and the baby coming. >> reporter: that baby, joshua. perhaps a little impatient but perfectly healthy. he wasn't waiting. >> no, he wasn't waiting, so he was ready to come out. >> reporter: so kenya actually has two other little girls. they were in the car during that delivery and they're now big sisters to little joshua. jim and pat, they can claim, i think it's fair to say, they have been with him from the very beginning. >> yeah. the first cry. all right. great story, david. thanks so much. >> cute little guy. champion for peace who was known for her protest outside the white house gate has died.

>> but now there's some controversy over what to do with connie's camp. and he slashed somebody's tires for parking in his spot, but that's not the reason a maryland

[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.

some of the best stories about the blizzard are about people pulling together to get through it. neighbors on tucker avenue in mclean made a time lapse video

of their shovel to freedom. plows had created a wall of snow that blocked in more than a dozen houses an by tuesday neighbors had given up on vdot and they got to work. >> i looked out my window and they were working. the first two were out there and then the guilt set in. >> once you're in, you're in. you're going to be the guy that quits before you get to the end of the block? the guy with one leg was there to shame them on. >> i looked outside and chris was limping up with a crutch and a shovel. i was like i have to do it. >> it took about three hours to shovel the length of about two football fields. those who couldn't shovel made sure the crew had a lot of food and drinks while they worked. you can watch the entire video by searching mclean in the nbc washington app. of course, they all look like they're in great shape so they're fit as fiddles out there. while we're talking about ice tonight, veronica, in a few days we could be talking about flooding? >> that's because our temperatures are going to be going way up. some 20 degrees higher than today. we're talking about a lot of
