emotional on social media. emotional inside of that courthouse, and emotional outside of the courthouse as well. >> it's shocking. >> reporter: the state's attorney says her office has been flooded with calls. >> our switchboard has received more calls than we have ever received on any case saying to us how enraged they are and concerned they are. >> reporter: outside the prince george's county courthouse -- [ bleep ] [ bleep ]. >> reporter: a brother of the suspected killer has an argument with someone over something she posted about his brother on instagram. it was one more example of the tension and anger surrounding the murders of neshante davis and her 2-year-old baby girl chloe. >> there's a lot of pain around this case. >> reporter: daron boswell-johnson had his first appearance after confessing to police he shot and killed his 2-year-old daughter and the mother of their child. his family was expected to speak in his defense but some expressed disappointment in him.

one of his six brothers said, i knew shante. she was a nice woman. their relationship was cordial even though they weren't together. i feel sorry for the family, and i hope they could forgive us as a whole family. he paused and bowed his head and then said, you messed up. that same anger and disappointment was played out on facebook where some comments on jds's page were so explosive the page was taken down by feiacebo. one person wrote he deserves that seat in the worst hell possible. someone else called him a coward. on that same page johnson had numerous pictures of his son and daughter from a previous relationship where he described being a proud father. there was no mention of little chloe. but there have been a number of domestic cases in prince george's county where children have been killed. i asked the state's attorney why she thought the public was reacting this way to this one and she said she believes this was the tipping point. he's due back in court in march. reporting live in upper

marlboro, i'm tracee wilkins. >> thanks, tracee. breaking news in maryland. police in charles county shot a man they say was looking suspicious in the middle of an intersection. chopper4 was over the scene this afternoon. it happened in waldorf. investigators say the man started running as an officer approached him. the suspect had a gun in his waistband. the officer says he feared for his life and he started shooting. the suspect is expected to survive. tonight four people are recovering. d.c. police are still looking for whoever opened fire in a southeast d.c. neighborhood. witnesses say they heard dozens of shots along butler street last night. bullets going in every direction. four people were hit. all of them expected to be okay. one woman who lives in the area says a bullet went through her window and through a wall and almost hit her. >> it was scary. when i heard the first shot, i actually thought maybe some kids were playing with fireworks, but

then i heard two more shots and i heard the glass shatter. i got down on the floor. >> in the next half hour, pat collins talked with other witnesses including one woman who said she went into her shooting emergency plan. it's debate night in new hampshire tonight. right now crews in manchester are getting the stage ready for the democratic debate and new numbers show hillary clinton is facing an uphill battle there. an nbc/"wall street journal"/maris poll shows senator bernie sanders leads clinton by 20 points among likely democratic voters in the state. steve handelsman joins us live as we count down to tonight's showdown. hi, steve. >> reporter: hi, doreen. thanks. good evening. a lot of democrats here in new hampshire call themselves progressives, pushing easier access to health care, cheaper college tuition, and the like. the issue for them tonight or at least the big issue at the debate will be whether, like bernie sanders, hillary clinton can rightly call herself a progressive. from the university of new

hampshire tonight, the debate will focus on the differences between the democrats. last night hillary clinton claimed she's got progressive goals, meaning liberal to very liberal like bernie sanders does. >> but we have different ways of going about them. >> reporter: sanders earlier in a rare attack. >> i do not know any progressive who has a super pac and takes $15 million from wall street. that's just not progressive. >> caller: clinton tyke $675,000 in speaking fees from goldman sachs. why? >> i don't know. that's what they offered. >> reporter: tonight chuck todd pushes harder. >> we're hoping to break some new ground. try to help voters clarify exactly what these differences are. >> reporter: on the republican side is jeb bush and chris christie and john kasich trying to break out in new hampshire. iowa caucus winner ted cruz is warning his rivals would compromise with democrats. >> either someone like donald who has told us he's going there

to make deals or someone like marco rubio. very talented guy. but he's already demonstrated that he's willing to break his word to the voters. >> reporter: rubio is arguing he's the most electable republican. >> when i'm the nominee, i will unite this party faster than anybody running for president can. >> reporter: donald trump did the kind of meet and greet retail politicking that new hampshirites demand. republicans debate in this state the night after tomorrow night, and a big issue for them will be who can rightly claim the label of conservative. live from durham, new hampshire, steve handelsman, news4. jim, back to you. >> thanks, steve. a petition was delivered to virginia's governor today opposing his new gun deal. three groups collected more than 3,000 signatures calling on the governor to scrap that plan. last week the governor announced a measure to rescind a policy

that would have invalidated some concealed carry permits in virginia. in exchange, state republican leaders would support two measures. one would prevent domestic violence offenders from carrying guns. the other requires state police be present at gun shows and allow them to do voluntary background checks for private sellers. some disturbing new details revealed today in the murder of a 13-year-old virginia girl. chris lawrence is following those new developments. chris? >> yeah, doreen. prosecutors say these students methodically planned to kill this girl and get rid of her body. natalie keepers wanted to be part of something, quote, secretive and exciting. the prosecutor said david eisenhauer and keepers plotted the murder to the point they bought cleaning supplies and a shovel at separate walmart stores. mary pettit said the plan was for eisenhauer to cut nicole lovell's throat but didn't say why they wanted to kill her. investigators say eisenhauer admits he went to lovell's house

and picked her up. keepers insists she wasn't there when lovell was killed but investigators think they helped him hide the body. she's on medication for ang date. she said she started taking prozac after being bullied in the eighth grade and cutting her own body. her lawyers say she was seeing a counselor at virginia tech and her mental health could unravel if she's kept in jail. the judge didn't buy it. he denied bail. earlier today nicole lovell's family and friends held a private funeral for her. the seventh grader had been through a lot. she survived a liver trant plant as a baby and lymphoma as a small child. vincent gray ended all speculation today. the former d.c. mayor confirmed he will run for the ward 7 d.c. council seat. some people believe it's a move towards a steppingstone for the former mayor to run for that office again. tom sherwood in the newsroom now with more on this. tom? >> reporter: jim, today gray

would only focus on ward 7 but his comeback attempt, it has begun. vince gray starting the long climb back into city politics announcing on wamu his new campaign after losing to muriel bowser in his 2014 re-election bid for mayor. >> kojo, i made a decision. i'm going to run for the ward 7 seat. >> reporter: in ward 7 where economic development was hurt when walmart pulled out of building the store at skyland, the gray campaign against incumbent yvette alexander gets mixed review approximates. >> walmart and all that. look at that. it's over there torn down. i don't think he'd do a good job in office at all. >> reporter: so has yvette been doing a good job? >> she's been doing a great job. >> reporter: others thought gray deserved a chance once federal prosecutors declined to bring charges in that long-running probe. >> they didn't find nothing on him so let him go for it. >> reporter: he told us today he's in. >> well, that's my man. >> reporter: but is this ward 7 campaign just a warm-up to run

for mayor again in 2018 against bowser? >>. >> there's no way i would do this as some way to seek retribution. there's absolutely -- there's too much work to be done in this city, and if she's got something she wants to do that is good for the people of ward 7, i would heartily support that. >> reporter: for mayor bowser gray could be a big new obstacle on the d.c. council. alexander has been mostly supporting bowser and is expected to get campaign help from the mayor. ward 7 could be one of the hottest races in the city this election year. jim and doreen, back to you. >> thanks, tom. a rare look inside metro's new crime-fighting center. all new at 6:00, we'll tell you what the agency says about the possibility of banning people who commit crimes from riding on the system. i'm julie carey in woodbridge where residents just learned the naked man who attacked a teenage girl yesterday on her way to the bus stop lives among them. coming up, you'll hear from a witness who tried to rescue the teenager.

plus, controversy already swirling around the person who will be chosen to lead one of the largest school districts in o

parents in woodbridge are reacting to word that a naked man who attacked a teenager on her way to the school bus is one of their own neighbors.

it was a bizarre scene that happened along charter court. bureau chief julie carey talked to the victim's parents and a witness. julie? >> reporter: well, that 16-year-old girl did exactly what her parents had always taught her yesterday morning. she fought, she screamed, she ran when the naked man attacked her as she neared that bus stop. her folks had already left for work when this all happened. they tell me tonight she's doing as well as can be expected after such a traumatic incident and now they and other neighbors want to know more about the man who is charged with attacking her. >> i just heard screaming, a woman screaming, and i just immediately the first thing i did is calling 911. >> reporter: that's one of many neighbors who called 911 or rushed outside before dawn wednesday morning to the terrifying sound. a 16-year-old girl was nearing her school bus stop on charter court when she saw a naked man coming her way. she turned to run home. he tackled her.

tom wardel was there when it happened walking his dog. initially, he too was taken to the ground. >> i heard the kid screaming help me, help me. i turned around and got plowed into, both of us got knocked over by some crazy naked man and i tried pushing him off and tried to get him to go away. >> reporter: at least two other men rushed outside to help. wardwell said he tried to pull the attacker away from the girl but feared he might have a weapon. >> he had a big bear hug on her. the more you could have tried, the worse you could have made so we talked to the police. they said you did the right thing. >> reporter: when police arrived, they were able to help the victim break free. today police identified the man as 37-year-old musab mohammed louisiana-sheikh. he's undergoing a mental health evaluation. the school district alerted neighbors with robocalls and letters home. >> robocalled and told us what the incident was, that there was a naked man that attacked a girl

but he was in custody. >> reporter: today neighbors learned el sheikh lived in their midsts. he moved into this home a block from the bus stop. a man who confirmed he is his father declined to answer questions. neighbors will be watching this case to see if and when the suspect returns to his home. >> i'm a little upset. i'm a little worried about it. i'm going to keep track of this. >> a little scared. >> reporter: el sheikh is being detained for 72 hours. after that he will be booked into the adult detention center and then it will be up to a judge to decide whether he gets bond. back to you, doreen, in the studio. >> julie carey, thank you. two men entered sofia's jewelry store in springfield, virginia, monday morning pretending to look at the merchandise and one of them went behind the counter, pulled a knife, and dragged the store's owner behind a wall. the second man stole the jewelry. so far nobody arrested. virginia is putting a plan into motion to clear out a backlog of rape evidence kits. there are more than 2,000

untested kits in the state. some of them dating back to 1988. the state has finalized a contract with the lab in northern virginia to test the kits. virginia received a $1.4 million grant to help clear that backlog. the first kits being tested come from fairfax county and virginia beach. the results will be run against dna databases. in a few minutes from now, the montgomery county school board is expected to officially name a new superintendent. dr. jack smith is the interim state superintendent, and there's mixed reaction over what might be his new role. chris gordon has our report. >> reporter: montgomery county council member nancy flor ren tells us she had breakfast with dr. jack smith and feels he's highly qualified. >> he's acting secretary of education for the state, and that's pretty significant. appreciating how maryland works

is really important in understanding how we can move ourselves forward. >> reporter: former montgomery county superintendent dr. joshua star resigned a year ago. last may dr. andrew houlihan of houston was offered the job and turned it down. tonight the school board will appoint dr. smith, who is currently serving as maryland's interim state superintendent. today we found this online petition entitled "prevent dr. jack smith in becoming maryland state superintendent." it's from change.org and says it has more than 1,100 sponsors. after dr. smith left his job as calvert county school superintendent, "the calvert recorder" newspaper conducted a three-month investigation into the compensation package for dr. smith and his executive staff. >> extra leave and increasing

salaries regardless of the fact that the school system was kind of in a downward spiral as far as salaries and pay raises and step increases and stuff like that. >> reporter: the montgomery county school board meeting is about to begin. i am told there is just one agenda item, the appointment of dr. smith to be the new school superintendent. an authoritative source says the vote is expected to be unanimous. that's the latest live from montgomery county. chris gordon, news4. we're a month into the new year. how are those new year's resolutions working out for you. as part of our station initiative we're trying to help you stay on track. here are four ways to reboot your resolutions. first, make your resolution public. weight watchers suggests sharing your goals with other people to help make them a reality. second, keep things simple. break a big goal into a bunch of smaller goals. want to lose 50 pounds? well, try to do it in

increments. set five to ten-pound weight loss goals instead. also, find a buddy. even if they don't have the same goals as you do, a partner can encourage and motivate you and also hold you accountable. finally, make a plan. put resolution-related activities in your daily calendar and they're less likely to get hijacked by the things that happen during your busy day. schedule time to go to the gym. call a friend or even to eat a snack. we ask people on our nbc washington facebook page to tell us about their new year's resolution and we're going to share some of those later in this newscast. still ahead, a barrage of bullets left four people wounded, homes and cars damaged. a local neighborhood is on edge. we are on the scene as police try to zero in on a suspect. i'm adam tuss with rare access inside metro's new

montgomery county, frederick county, into washington county, that's br it could start sticking. future weather, we start you at midnight. still just rain showers. notice the pink. that's a mixture of rain and snow. the white up to the north where it's all snow, but we will see this from about 4:00 a.m. right up until 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. it will be over our area. again, road temperatures right now are in the 40s to low 50s. as they do come down, might be a few isolated spots on more sheltered roads where some of the snow could be sticking. there we are at 9:00, 10:00 a.m. with it moving out of here. here is what storm team4 is forecasting. a dusting to three inches. salisbury toward leonardtown. areas down through calvert beach area. then in the pink area, i-95 corridor, manassas, woodbridge, right through d.c. metro, a mixture of rain and snow. up toward baltimore area, mixture of rain and snow. and about one inch or less of just snow. so we'll see more mixing in that

i-95 corridor and down south. down through here mixing in at times. road temperatures fine but could be a few isolated slick spots. midday temperatures, these are the windchills, 32 to 35. a lot of wind behind the system so it will be cold for tomorrow afternoon. you will need the coat, the gloves, the hat. we're going to be all loaded up for tomorrow. but a better weekend coming our way. high temperature on saturday, 45. on sunday, 50 degrees. of course, we've got a lot more. i'm going to take you hour by hour throughout the day tomorrow and show you the afternoon, what it's looking like. we've got that coming up in a few. coming up at 6:00, bullets in the cars, bullets in the homes, bullets in the people. an incredible barrage of gunfire has many people here running for their lives. also tonight, exclusive access into metro's new security center. the new tools they're using to help fight crime and the

agency's approach to riders who are repeat offenders. a mother in virginia talking about the public stigma after being diagnosed with the zika virus. >> but i do believe that something good is going to come from this. i'm just holding onto that. and they're impossible to avoid. why you could see even more

if you run over somebody, it's usually because you were driving too fast or you didn't look before you turned or you didn't stop for someone in the crosswalk. always be alert. pedestrians don't come with airbags.

now at 6:30, shots flying in every direction. four people wounded, and whoever pulled the trigger still out there. tonight we're hearing about those chaotic moments as a barrage of bullets started flying in a southeast d.c. neighborhood. it all unfolded last night on butler street in the anacostia area. pat collins talked to people in the area and joins us now at the scene. pat? >> reporter: jim, police say it began when a gold-colored car pulled up over here and a guy gets out and starts shooting, bullets flying every which way and people here ducking for cover. >> i was in my bed. i heard four loud boom, boom, boom. >> reporter: that's. >> bujo bullock. when she heard that gunfire, she enacted her emergency gunfire plan. >> just fall out the bed and crawl and that's what i did. i fell out of my bed, grabbed my

phone, and i crawled. >> reporter: a short time later she heard another sound. >> i heard ping and i said, oh, my goodness. >> reporter: not long after that she realized a bullet had pierced the brick wall next to her bed and knifed its way into the chest of drawers in her room. >> if i was walking -- >> reporter: would have gone right into you. >> right into me. >> reporter: a near miss in this barrage of gunfire on butler street in southeast. it happened around 9:00 last night. witnesses say they heard more than 30 shots. bullets flew everywhere, into cars, into homes, and into people. four people wounded. they're expected to survive. police say they're working some leads. >> we do have quite a few detectives that are working on it. we received quite a few leads, so they've jumped on all of them so far and we're hoping that one of these pans out to get us the closure we need. >> reporter: there is more to be known here. police are offering a $10,000 reward in this case.

doreen, back to you. >> pat collins, thank you. charges will not be filed against a police officer who shot and killed a man in a metro tunnel. it happened last march at the potomac avenue station in southeast d.c. the metro transit police officer was responding to a report of somebody in the tunnel. the u.s. attorney's office says the officer opened fire when the suspect, bobby gross, charged at him with a large branch. the investigation found the officer couldn't back away from gross without risking falling on the electrified third rail. a story only on news4. rare access to one of metro's most sensitive buildings. the transit agency allowed our cameras inside their new security operations command center to show off just what they can see. transportation reporter adam tuss has the story now to help keep you safe and secure while on metro. >> reporter: from the outside,

this small building in hyattsville isn't much to look at, but step inside and your eyes won't be able to stop looking. this is metro's new security operations center, truly the nervous system for the transit police. >> if you're in any public space in the metro system, there's a good chance you will be caught on camera. >> you could be on a street corner, in parking lot, outside metro headquarters. metro has on eye on you. >> it's a message for the bad guys. guess you, we watch you, we get you and we're going to get you if you do anything on our system. >> reporter: if you ever wonder just how much cameras metro has, take a look. all 91 stations and metro officials say if it's not the most wired system in the entire country, then it's one of the most and probably in the world. incidents like this fight just last week at gallery place where six teenagers and an adult passenger exchanged punches captured right here. metro says this camera system is allowing transit police officers to respond faster.

>> we know what train they're on, we have officers up the line prepared to stop that train. give the physical description of what they look like, pull them off the train, bring them back, identify them right there on the spot. >> reporter: but if you can be identified easily, shouldn't you be banned if you're a repeat offender? it has happened but a court and a judge have to issue a stay away order from the transit system. in the case of the recent teenager incidents, metro says it will not take away their privileges. metro admits not all crimes will be stopped and ultimately police on the ground are a big issue. but for now this new facility doing a lot of the heavy lifting. in hyattsville, adam tuss, news4. it is a bumpy ride for drivers across our area as those potholes are emerging, but if you haven't hit one yet, consider yourself lucky. mechanics say their business is booming. news4's meagan fitzgerald is along massachusetts avenue with more. there are some big ones on mass avenue, i can especially attest, meagan. >> oh, yeah. and one of them is just behind

us here. it's dark, we wish we could show it to you. but as you can imagine it's a pretty big crater. hitting one of these can cost you hundreds of dollars, but experts say this year it's likely we will see more potholes than in years past. >> i drive all over bethesda, chevy chase, into d.c. >> reporter: from maryland to d.c. and into virginia, they're all over. >> there are potholes, yeah. but i have avoided them. >> reporter: most try to avoid them but let's face it, that's not always possible. >> my husband had a flat tire the other morning when we came out. i'm sure that was because he didn't avoid. >> reporter: and that's where people like mike cunningham come in. he's the owner of bethesda import specialists. >> it's the rim, sometimes the tires, too. depends how badly -- we had one customer that hit the same potholes with both sides of the wheels. >> reporter: he's staying busy. >> cracked the aluminum. >> reporter: and it's possible more and more drivers will be seeing these cracks and dents in

their wheel. the maryland state highway administration says potholes are getting bigger and they expect to see more this year compared to years past. that's because of the unseasonably warm temperatures we've had mixed with the freezing weather and the blizzard. so while crews work to patch them up and cunningham works to fix the damage left behind, drivers say they'll do their best to steer clear. >> you can't change lanes that quickly, so i think you just have to kind of go slowly. >> reporter: and if you see a pothole, agencies like vdot and ddot are asking to you call it in so they can get a crew to patch it up or at least put it on the list of tholes to get to. we have the entire list of numbers you'll need on our website where you can also download our nbc washington app and search potholes. jim? >> thaths thanks, meagan. coming up, a major automaker announcing a major recall tied to takata air bags. >> and rain and snow for the

knight, died instantly when his air bag exploded. i sat down with knight's widow just days after a medical examiner described the violent impact of the air bag that killed her husband. >> she's pretty much saying it would be like a shotgun going off in your car, you know. it's like a major explosion. >> this is what the coroner told you? >> yes. >> this recall involves older models from 2005 and newer vehicles from 2015 and 2016. now, for a full list of honda and all vekhicles recalled, go o our nbc washington app and search air bags. >> thanks, susan. well, he didn't answer any questions but he did manage to infuriate lawmakers. we'll take you to the hearing today, the contentious hearing, with a drug executive up on capitol hill. i recently spoke with heather baker. she is one of the first known
