porn investigation. a school aide is accused of producing vial videos in the school and a lawsuit claims teachers and parents knew about it but nothing was done to stop it. tonight, we have team coverage as the investigation expands, and a new victim is identified. scott macfarlane is looking into the police response into that school last year. >> we begin with meagan fitzgerald in glenarden with the latest on this case. meagan? >> reporter: yeah, doreen. we are learning that the latest number of victims has risen to 12, but law enforcement officials say they cannot tell us exactly where the alleged abuse of this latest victim took place because we're talking about juveniles here. in the meantime, you can see behind me cars are filling the parking lot of the school here, the elementary school where law enforcement officials and school officials are holding a meeting for parents. it's expected to start in the next 30 minutes. many of the parents we spoke with say they have a lot of questions and they're hoping to get answers. a lawsuit filed by

a 9-year-old victim saying the school principal, michelle williams, knew about inappropriate behavior and didn't act. williams has since been placed on administrative leave but criminal charges have not been filed. >> his personality, it was kind of quiet. >> reporter: pastor henry david is the pastor of first highland church of highland park. the same church deonte carraway attended. >> during his high school years he sang in our choir and i would see him periodically. >> reporter: while pastor davis says he was shocked to hear about the allegations against carraway, he did notice things he considered odd. >> strange part was that i never knew his family. he used to come by himself, and i did not know how he got -- what his mode of transportation was for him to get here, but i never knew his family. >> reporter: he says carraway was always alone, about you those who knew

sylvania woods elementary school say he was always around school. now, again, this is still a very active and ongoing investigation. law enforcement officials continue to press any victims out there, gardens of victi-- guardians of victims or anyone with information about this investigation. they're encouraged to call the tip line. >> this is not the first time the police have been called to this elementary school. investigators have been trying to solve a history in that building since last year. scott? >> a different mystery. news4 has learned between $300 and $1,200 was reported missing from the school's safe at scattered showers woods elementary school and after the theft the principal reported installing hidden surveillance cameras in the building as a response. that's information obtained by news4 in a public records request. the money went missing in mid-2015 from a locked school safe and police suspect

tool. a prince george's county police official says the principal is not suspected in that theft. and they say as of tonight the case remains unsolved. separate information obtained from the school district says in response to the theft, the principal installed the hidden cameras in the bookkeeper's office and indicated the bookkeeper's office had some oversight of money in the safe. the school district says it was $1,200 unaccounted for. police report said it was $300 and that it went missing from a gold envelope in the safe. but the district today was unavailable to explain that discrepancy. the investigation police say is ongoing. scott macfarlane, news4. >> our other big story tonight, the weather. dangerously cold air gripping our region. check out this video of people bundled up with their heavy coats and hats in northwest d.c. doug is here to let us know just how long this cold air will stick around and will it be even colder tomorrow, doug?

we got a little bit of a reprieve, maybe five to ten degrees warmer tomorrow, but then 15 to 20 degrees colder on saturday and sunday. so if you thought today was cold, just wait until the weekend. look at the high temperatures today. only 30 degrees for a high in d.c. 22 in hagerstown, 28 camp springs. but the windchill never head it above 20 degrees in many locations, and that's the case it's going to be like over the next couple days. tomorrow we get above 20 for the windchill, so at least that's, i don't know, good news. saturday down into the single digits if not below zero by late saturday evening into sunday. only in the single digits just about all day long monday. we do start to warm but we could see some snow on monday. now, frigid tonight. we're talking about extremely cold night but it gets even colder for the weekend, and then tracking our next storm system which, yes, may start as snow. how does it end though? i've got that forecast for new a minute. >> thanks, doug. firefighters say they found hoarding conditions after they arrived at

today. those flames broke out in the basement of a house this afternoon. at one point things got so dangerous that all the emergency personnel were pulled out of there. last night a news4 i-team investigation revealed a fast rising number of fires fueled by so-called hoarding conditions. the i-team's review found that in prince george's county it takes firefighters an average of five minutes to find and remove a victim of a house fire, but it takes nearly an hourv and a hal to do the same thing in the house of a hoarder. there's new information tonight about the response into a baby's death in d.c. turns out the child's sibling did not call 911 as police initially reported, but a d.c. firefighter did make that call, and now she's under administrative review. mark segraves broke the story and joining us with the new questions being raised. mark? >> reporter: yeah, doreen. and that firefight

the call, turns out she's the aunt of the six children who were left unattended in this home in northwest washington, and she circumvented the normal 911 call procedure by calling a 911 supervisor directly. when firefighters arrived at the home on van buren street in northwest, they found six children, the oldest a 10-year-old, the youngest a 7-month-old baby who was in medical distress. he was pronounced dead at a local hospital. there were no adults in the home. police officials originally told reporters one of the dying child's siblings called 911 for help. an internal dispatch report shows that's not what happened. and today the office of unified communications confirmed there was no 911 call. to clarify there, was no 911 call received by ouc. the call was received by the fire department emergency liaison officer who is on site at the 911 call center. the elo passed on the information to the f

dispatcher who entered the information immediately ant dispatched the appropriate response. late this afternoon a fire department official confirmed that sibling actually called an aunt, tarika hooks who is a d.c. firefighter. hooks then called a supervisor directly at the 911 call center. hooks remains on active duty but a review of the incident is now under way. we can tell you firefighter hooks is under investigation. she was on duty yesterday and was never here at the home during the incident when the child died. we can also tell you that fire department officials confirm that hooks uses this address as her permanent residence and that is also a matter of the review because officials say they have indications that she may actually live in maryland. as for the five children, they remain in the care and custody of d.c. child and family services and police continue to investigate the death of the child. doreen, back to you. >> mark segraves porting. thank you. health officials have just

confirmed the first case of the zika virus in maryland. the victim travelled to a country in central america. the person has recovered and poses no danger to the community. d.c. has three confirmed cases of zika, including a pregnant woman. and virginia has one confirmed case. while the virus is not spread by casual human contact, health officials say it can be sexually transm transmitted. three metro employees have been suspended tonight after a train ran a red signal and came really close to another train on the same track. today metro board members got new information about that incident and they were not pleased with what they saw. the trains were about 190 feet from each other at the smithsonian station last week. transportation reporter adam tuss now with why these workers got to keep their jobs. adam? >> reporter: yeah, jim. it our ur

red signal as a train operator but in order for you to get fired for doing that, you actually have to be a repeat offender. all up and down the metro system, there are signals that tell trains when to stop and when to go. blow through a red light once and you likely won't be fired. it takes at least two times to go through a red light before you can get fired, but it could be even more. >> no more than three violations, he's definitely terminated. >> reporter: is that too many? this this latest case, two trains came within a couple rail car lengths of one another face-to-face. jack evans doesn't see the need for a change in policy yet. >> i'm willing to stake with the policy as it is for the moment. >> reporter: there were six other documented red signal violations between 2013 and 2015. just what happened last week? metro says as the train was trying to turn around, the train operator thought he could proceed through a red gnal when, in fact, wasn't given that permission. the train operator and control center even repeated back to each other incorrect

catch. this exchange between board member tom bulger and rail chief rob troop. >> are they blind? >> mr. -- >> when it went through the interlock, i would have been screaming hair on fire. >> and -- >> nothing was said by the control center to this operator? >> the transcripts are still being reviewed at this point. >> you said you interviewed everybody. >> reporter: metro general manager says more supervision is being added in metrorail operations control center. and metro also tells us tonight that they are close to hiring a new chief safety officer. jim, back to you. democratic debate a few hours away now will report what's at stake as both candidates fight for votes in important battleground states. this proposed virginia bill would penalize adults who smoke in the car with kids. coming up on news4 at 6:00, what

commonwealth. we'll tell you

i lead the 11 o'clock news with stories of gun violence. and like many of you, my family lived through

l fight to expand background checks on guns and ammunition, ban assault weapons, and mandate gun safety locks, because too many kids die from accidental shootings. let's show the nra we're not afraid of them; as democrats, as americans, as parents. i'm kathleen matthews and i approve this message. to presidential politics now. the focus is on milwaukee where the democratic candidates will debate tonight. the stakes are high. hillary clinton needs to reassure supporters that she's in command of her campaign, and bernie sanders needs to preserve his momentum.

>> reporter: on the heels of bernie sanders' landslide victory in new hampshire, tonight is the first real showdown between the two remaining democratic candidates. the self-described democratic socialist took a victory lap with public appearances in new york and meeting with activists and msnbc anchor reverend al sharpton. >> it is very important that he sent the signal that on the morning after a historic victory he would come to harlem and have breakfast with me. >> reporter: trailing hillary clinton among african-american voters, the vermont senator is courting the minority vote and touting his immigrant roots to broaden his appeal in upcoming diverse states like nevada and south carolina. >> i still love new hampshire, and i always will. >> reporter: despite her blistering loss in the granite state, the congressional black caucus political action committee chose to endorse secretary clinton. >> she's been our

term. we believe she's made a difference. >> reporter: tonight's debate will be clinton's first public appearance after two days of private meetings with advisers about how to re-energize lagging support with women and young people. while the wisconsin primary is still more than a month away, tonight's location at the university of wisconsin-milwaukee will help set the stage in this battleground state in the general election. wendy woolfolk, nbc news, milwaukee. more on hillary clinton's endorsement from the political action committee of the congressional black caucus. at today's announcement john lewis dismissed bernie sanders' work on social justice in the 1960s. >> i never saw him. i never met him. i was chair of the student nonviolent coordinating committee for three years from 1963 to 1966. but i met hillary

>> according to the bio on bernie sanders' campaign website he was active in two civil rights organizations in 1962 and '63 when he was a student at the university of chicago. tomorrow lawmakers in virginia will vote on a bill that would penalize adults who smoke in cars with kids in the car. some people are applauding that proposal. others say it's an overreach of government. david culver is here now with a look at the bill and the likelihood of it becoming a law. >> if it prevents one child from being trapped in a car with second hand smoke. >> those words from the southwest virginia delegate who has proposed this bill. republican todd pillion pushing for adults to be fined $100 if they're caught smoking in a car with a minor under the age of 8. the pediatric dentist says he's seen the negative effects in the kids he's treated. >> and they're chronically sick and they have asthma and they can't recover from

they're constantly exposed to second hand smoke in a very confined space. >> reporter: if passed, it would be a secondary offense, meaning you couldn't be pulled over just for violating that law. >> i want to know if this is something you support. >> reporter: we wanted to hear from you. many of you logged onto our facebook live chat and weighed in. sterling, you're writing in right now. #r(% support this fine. there are more important issues that the state of virginia can focus on. helen commented on our facebook page writing the government just trying to take one more right away. they want total control over everything we do. >> i don't feel like this is big brother government. i feel like we're protecting little brother in the backseat struggling to breathe fresh air. >> reporter: it seems many others agreeing wi with the del. you say, yes, as a child of a smoker, i fully report it. the bill is making progress. it goes to a full

pass? >> i'm confident. >> reporter: you are. you believe it has a chance. >> i think it has a chance. it's gotten further this year than ever before. >> reporter: we used our news4 flash survey to ask you the question what do you think of the bill? got to show you these results. the vast majority of you, more than 80%, call it a good idea. others saying it just goes too far, and tomorrow is when the house in virginia will vote on the measure. if it passes the house, it moves on to the senate next week. vance? there is a rare opportunity this month for a glimpse into prince william county history. the lucasville school is opening to the public on weekends for black history month. it is the only existing school used by african-american students after the civil war. the one-room school operated from 1885 to 1926. if you want to stop by, it will be open from 11:00 until 4:00. it's

just outside manassas. a life-sa dic hidden in plain sight. see what happened when our i-team went looking for this critical tool inside local malls, rec centers, and government buildings. i'm julie carey in fairfax county where there is a new option for law enforcement officers when they encounter somebody experiencing a mental health crisis. it's called

the view you can get from space. take a look a lightning storm from up above. a britishs s astronaut released this time lapse video. he's aboard the international space station. he captured dazzling images of storms. the footage shows a series of lightning bolts striking the earth. there are some of us who would consider this to be probably one of the most amazing, fantastic stories that we ever get to see or report ever. it has to do with something that physicists found that prove einstein was right. >> we have detected gravitational waves. we did it. >> an international team of astrophysicists used a highly sensitive instrument to detect something called a gravitational wave.

it came from two black holes merging in deep space hor than a billion years ago. the wave was recorded and the audible chirp was played back at a news conference today. the research team includes a physics professor from the university of maryland. >> it's just a thrill. i dreamed of this day but i didn't know it would play out like this. >> we need to point out once again albert einstein envisioned this, it was part of his theory of relativity however many years ago it was. he was right. that was a bad dude. >> indeed. i'm not sure i fully understand all of this -- >> i don't either. >> but i know it's exciting. >> it's fascinating. >> vance, do you know when he first put that theory out? >> when? >> 1916. 100 years ago. >> you were in elementary school then. >>

>> nice, doreen. high five right there. i like that. >> it was right there. >> let's move on, doug. >> you got it, buddy. wow, it took 100 years. it shows you how far ahead of his time einstein was. we'll show you what we're dealing with. that was harsh. i love it. also harsh, the cold air. look at the current temperature down to 26 right now but the wind has been howling all day. 20, 25-mile-an-hour winds, windchill down to 14. so some incredible cold across the region. down to 19 in gaithersburg. 24 in culpeper. 21 in luray and look at the windchills now down to 4 in gaithersburg. manassas at 12. 8 in frederick. 11 at joint base andrews. you know we're in for an extremely cold night. it gets a lot colder than this over the next couple days. today we were brutal across the region with the cold, but this weekend it becomes downright dangerous. the temperatures and the wind chills will be 10, 15

colder than they were out there today. something else to note, nothing on the radar right now. it would be snow. but tomorrow evening around this time we could see some snow showers. if that were to occur because of the cold air, everything would stick very easily so even a half an inch of snow tomorrow evening could produce some problems on the roads so we want to make sure you're ready for that, too. here comes the cold. we've already got it across the east. but we get a reinforcing shot that comes in and explodes across our region. record low temperatures possible in parts of the northeast. even as close to our area as philadelphia. for us i don't think we'll see any records but we're going to come fairly close. that's just how cold this air is. the coldest air of the season by far. blustery winds up to 20, 30, even 40 miles per hour. and that puts our windchills below zero late saturday night into sunday morning and we're talking about valentine's day weekend. so you know it's going to be quite cold for that. think about the cars and the pipes. what should you do with those? then check on the elderly, especially your neighbors. make sure they have the heat on and bring in the pets. these arhe

we have 23 things that you can do to get ready for the cold on our nbc washington app. download the app today to figure that out. now, 24 for a high on saturday, but temperatures fall all day. 23 on sunday, valentine's day, and look at the low around 9. i want to show you the wind chills on saturday because they're just that brutally cold. here is the windchill saturday morning at 8:00. 2 in d.c. 1 below in martinsburg. 1 below in frederick. normally during the afternoon we tend to warm, but that's not going to happen much as we move through the afternoon. saturday at 1:00 down to 4 in d.c., zero in martinsburg, and my sunday morning, look at these numbers. 3 below zero in gaithersburg. 2 below zero in martinsburg. and then on monday we've got a chance of snow. more to come with our next storm system. it's snow, then ice, then rain. the entire forecast coming up at 6:45. next at 6:00, new information about the maryland deputies killed in the line of duty as the gunman'sso

about his father's troubled past. >> he was a heavy drinker. he had iol problems. also, an alternative to jail for some offenders. it's part of an effort to start changing minds. >> i was sick and i needed help, not jail time. and it can take up a lot of time when seconds count. >> those precious moments make a big difference between life and death. >> tonight the i-team investigates a problems with

we are following breaking news in prince george's county where police are looking into a shooting that the they're calling suspicious. >> a man was shot and killed but at this point they're still trying to figure out if the victim or someone else pulled the trigger. let's goat to news4's pat collins with the details. >> reporter: doreen, what really happened in that house over there, who pulled the trigger and why. was it accidental or was it intentional? we're here at the scene on james farmer way right over the district line in seat pleasant. >> it's a sad thing but, you know, it happens all over. there's no exceptions here. >> reporter: a curious shooting death in seat pleasant. was it an accident or was it intentional? sources say police are going through clues talking to witnesses trying to

out. blanche malloy has lived here 20 years. she says she's not used to this sort of thing here in seat pleasant. >> we never had nobody get shot in nobody's house in the neighborhood, no. >> reporter: it happened around 2:00 this afternoon at this house on james farmer way. a man wounded upstairs. medics called to the scene. they try to save him but he died later at the hospital. maurice matthews, he lives in the house but he wasn't home when it happened, and when he came home, police were all over the place. >> it's shocking to me, you know. it hit me too soon. i wasn't expecting this. >> reporter: trouble. >> trouble, yeah. >> reporter: so we have a man dead here from a gunshot wound, but how did it happen? why did it happen? there's a lot more to be known here. live in seat pleasant, pat collins, news4. here at the live desk we

class-action lawsuit has been filed in connection with that child porn investigation. the one involving a teacher's aide at judge sylvania wood elementary school. a second victim is an 11-year-old boy, in the fifth grade, has joined the lawsuit filed earlier this week by the family of that 9-year-old victim. this comes right as parents are meeting with school officials right now to discuss deonte carraway's arrest. he's been charged with sexually abusing students and recording it sometimes during school hours. so far police have confirmed at least 12 victims. tonight flags in maryland are flying at half-staff in honor of two horford county deputies killed in the line of duty. deputy patrick dailey served in the marines and was a 30-year veteran of the agency. he was a lifelong member of a volunteer fire company. he leaves behind his mother, girlfriend, and two sons. senior deputy mark logsdon had been on the force for 16 years. he

children, and parents. tonight we're also learning about the man who killed the deputies and died in the shootout with officers. he is 68-year-old david evans. evans' son says his mother was the one who called police to the panera bread restaurant in abingdon where all this happened. he said evans shot his mother 20 years ago and then disappeared. he had recently resurfaced and his mother believed he wanted to hurt her. she left the restaurant before deputies got there. >> my mom has been troubled because she's seen him. to go again and see if i was there and she went and there he was in the back of the restaurant. i think what happened was these cops came in there to arrest -- probably end up arresting him and that's what he saw. being a 68-year-old man, he probably saw the rest of his life in jail and he said i'm not going -- i'm going to try to get away. >> there are warrants out for

florida for assaulting an officer. jeremy evans says his father was a heavy drinker with he motion yool problems. police in fairfax county have a new option when they encounter somebody in a mental health crisis. if they think treatment would be better than jail, there is a new place to turn. bureau chief julie carey got a close-up look today at what's been called diversion first. >> my name is kevin early and i live successfully with bipolar disorder. >> reporter: kevin early knows firsthand the importance of diversion treatment instead of jail when a mental health crisis leads to a minor offense. >> i was sick and i needed help, not jail time. i needed support. >> reporter: he's now a peer support counselor for others receiving mental health treatments but in his darkest times he was tased by police. >> you feel like you're a criminal. >> reporter: treatment and medication turned early's life around. that'w

diversion first is now working inside the newly opened crisis response center. it's housed in the county building that already provides mental health services. when a patrol officer decides an offender might be better off with treatment they drive into the secure sally port and then transfer them to a specially trained officer or deputy. clinicians do an assessment and sometimes this calming room is enough. >> individuals can settle down and relax. >> reporter: some reforms were already in the works when a mentally ill offender, natasha mckenna, was tased during a transport at the jail last year and died soon after. it was ruled an accident but it accelerated a search for better ways to deal with mentally ill offenders. in the first month officers turned to this center more than 100 times. >> officers understand this is the right thing to do and it's needed, and now they have the option and the understanding and it's going to be just a better care for our

thoughts today but there is one concern, that the merge during it first month, a shortage of beds for those who need in-patient care. that's something that will require action and more money at the state level, but as the sheriff said there today, they are asking for more mental health treatment centers be built, not more jails. >> are these centers staffed 24/7? >> this one is staffed 24/7. there are deputyinies and polic officers there around the clock. >> not unlike that episode -- not episode but the event -- you covered a similar situation in arizona or something where they're trying to provide these kinds of places. >> texas is where we traveled with them last year to texas. they went and saw a model program there and now just six months later already up and running here in fairfax county. they took it very seriously. >> good for them. thanks, julie. for more on nbc's changing minds project, including more on the diversion first project w

invite you to our website. once there, you will find a list of local resources to help people suffering from mental illness. next, growing concern over the zika virus and the impact it could have on victims months or years down the road. and people are sharing their stories tonight. we'll hear from passengers about those terrifying moments, hours even, as the cruise ship steered right into the path of a powerful storm. and for us windchills another big factor tomorrow. not quite as cold but still we only get to 20 to 25 for a windchill during the afternoon and it gets a whole lot colder this weekend. that and

(*-*). one of the ships on the royal caribbean cruise line is back in port in new jersey now after an awful experience at sea. that ship sailed into a powerful

storm on sunday. 150-mile-an-hour winds, 30-foot waves. the captain decided to turn around on monday instead of continuing on to its original destination, the bahamas. passengers had plenty to say about the brutal conditions as they got off that ship. >> glasses were breaking, things were falling off. we were getting thrown off our bed. it was pretty rough. 30-foot seas. it was pretty brutal. >> it was worse than bad when you're scared your going to die. it was very frightening. we thought the ship was going over. >> passengers will get a full refund and a voucher for 50% off any future cruise although a number of them are saying they are never going to get on a boat again in their lives. a new warning about the zika virus from the nation's top public health experts. we know there is growing evidence that zika in pregnant women may be linked to miscarriage or the birth defect

known as microcephaly in which children are born with abnormally small heads but today the senate learned that babies who appear to have been spared microcephaly are not necessarily in the clear. >> we're not sure whether the children who don't have apparent microcephaly are completely normal or whether they may have other problems as well. we're looking at that, but it may take years to sort some of these things out. >> the senate is considering president obama's request for nearly $2 billion in emergency funding to fight zika. it could be the difference between life and death. the i-team reveals that a life-saving device might be hard to find. >> if it's not in plai

i lead the 11 o'clock news with stories of gun violence. and like many of you, my family lived through the beltway sniper crisis. in congress, i'll fight to expand background checks on guns and ammunition, ban assault weapons, and mandate gun safety locks,

let's show the nra we're not afraid of them; as democrats, as americans, as parents. i'm kathleen matthews and i approve this message.

the news4 i-team has uncovered a troubling trend within many government and private buildings. >> life-saving devices that come say can't actually save a life because not enough people can get to them. since february is american heart month, tisha thompson and the i-team show us what they found when they troud ied to track th down. >> reporter: for three years ashley mendoza always starts her shift typing into the computer, answering the phone -- >> call for help now. >> reporter: while her co-worker makes a lot of noise. jones says she always tests the automated external defibrillator at the beginning of every shift. but never thought she would actually use the thing. >> yeah. it came out of nowhere. >> reporter: 48-year-old

said he never felt any pain. >> i play badminton every saturday and one saturday i just collapsed. >> i jumped up, grabbed the aed because i knew exactly where it was. i opened the case, took the pads out, placed the pads and followed the instructions. >> jones and mendoza say they started working on him within less than a minute because they knew exactly where to find the aed. >> those precious moments make a big difference between life and death. >> statistics show us if a patient is defib brill lated machine the first minute of cardiac arrest they have a 90% survival. for every minute after that, their chance of survival decreases by 10%. >> reporter: montgomery county fire captain bob lindsey says if you can find a defibrillator, all you have to do is hit the button and the machine will tell what you to do. >> shock advised. >> reporter: which is why the fire chief says the devices should be out

available to everyone and never out of sight. >> if it's not in plain sight, it's not going to get used. >> reporter: when the news4 i-team checked out more than 100 aeds throughout our region, we couldn't actually find 20% of them without asking a lot of questions. for instance, at the smithsonian, we found these near the bathrooms at the portrait gallery but could not find them at the air and space museum. a spokeswoman told us the smithsonian keeps nearly all 100 of their devices behind their security desks. we couldn't locate aeds in many of the malls we visited including the fashion center at pentagon city and westfield montgomery who told us their aeds are on site in security offices or on mobile units promising officers can call for one in an emergency. we did see aeds out in the open at d.c.'s wilson aquatics center and martin luther king jr. library but could not find them in the wilson building. it took several days for a

offices. >> if you don't know it's there, you as a bystander can't call for somebody else to grab the aed. >> reporter: the chief says buildings need to advertise they have the devices available by putting them in the most visible place possible because, as the i-team found, multiple medical studies show the real reason people don't use defibrillators is they're locked up or people just don't see them. >> when we have an emergency, we revert back to muscle memory, and we revert back to our most basic skills, and having to dig through a cabinet or open a cabinet or desk or locker to get to that medical equipment is not what's going to benefit the patient. >> had we not had that aed machine, he would not have made it out of here. >> reporter: both jones and mendoza say they now look for the devices in every building they visit. >> where is it? >> i want to be able to see the aed or know at least where it is. >> reporter:

man is especially grateful for. >> i would have really died. thanks it the defibrillator, i am alive. >> we visited a bunch of metro stations as well and found a lot of empty boxes. a spokeswoman told us they moved the aeds into the manager's kiosk five years ago because, quote, this he offer a climate controlled environment for the aeds which can be negatively affected by the extreme heat and cold at some stations and that could render them inoperable. you can see metro's complete statement along with the others on the nbc washington app and while you are there, watch our video to see how easy it is to use one of these aeds in case you ever need it. tisha thompson, news4 i-team. >> good to know. that's a habit we should all get into, be on the lookout for those things. >> know where they are at all times. >> thank you. >> doug, it's awfully cold out there. >> don't be mad at me. >> who else am i going to

doug -- i'm sorry. that's how cold it's going to be. >> it hurts. >> she's pretty sharp tonight. >> i thought the same thing. >> she's got knives out in every direction. >> she hit you earlier. >> i'm bleeding all over the place. >> she got you good. i guess it's my turn. take a look and show you what's happening outside right now. you know it's cold. temperatures only in the 20s, 26 degrees right now. look at the numbers going down into the low 20s. frigid this evening. whatever term you have for cold air, you can pretty much use it tonight. look at the current windchills. gaithersburg, the windchill is 6 degrees. 8 degrees at dulles. joint base andrews, 11 degrees. nothing on the radar right now. we could see some scattered snow showers in the here tomorrow. we want you to recognize that because you remember what happened with just that half inch to an inch we saw a couple weeks ago just before the blizzard? well, that situation could play out again. temperatures will be at or below freezing so when the snow comes in, won't be a lot, but again it could put down a quick coating on some of the

the good thing about right now is most of the roads have a lot of salt on them. but breezy and cold tomorrow. windchills between 18 and 25 degrees so that possible snow shower during the evening rush tomorrow night. now, high of 34 tomorrow. look at saturday and sunday. we're calling them weather alert days as heather our sports producer said cuddle alert days. we talked about the cuddle alert a little earlier. okay, fine. 24 on your saturday. 23 on sunday. of course, this is valentine's day weekend. i think that's where the cuddle alert comes in. 24 degrees, but the windchills in the single digits, even below zero saturday night into early on sunday. and then monday and tuesday tracking our next storm system. absolutely amazing. we go from 23 on sunday to 52 on tuesday with rain. but before that, we get some light snow in here possibly on monday. this is something we'll have to watch closely. possible ice monday night for the transition from snow over to rain, and then rain and wind on tuesday. pretty potent storm system. behind it we get cool again, but the brutally cold air coming up thw

plus. alex ovechkin and the caps in minnesota tonight taking on the wild. one of those easy games on paper, but beware the letdown. caps, best team in the nhl. the wild, well, they have lost 11 of their last 12 games, and raps that's why a former player is calling out the minnesota head coach. former wild enforcer recently tweeted this picture of a bunny -- his bunny hoppy with a sign yeo must go. he says i'm not saying he's a bad coach but of a a change is due. the coach said i was disappointed to see hopping holding that sign. so sounds like a hare raising tweet. >> nice. >> did you work on that all day long? >> i did. and heather mcdonough, the producer wrote this line. i'm going to say it because it's
