we have somebody just driving around, finding people and shooting them dead in their tracks. >> and we start with the breaking news in michigan. families out for a saturday night dinner are now the victims of a random shooting spree. seven people are dead, two more hurt after bullets start flying in kalamazoo county. >> police are working three shooting scenes. the shooter is 45-year-old jason dolton. the shooting started outside a cracker barrel restaurant around 6:00 p.m. saturday night. the gunman then went to a car dealership and killed two there. he then went to another cracker barrel restaurant shooting and killing five people. a 14-year-old girl is among the dead it at the scene. >> and we will certainly stay on top of that breaking news as developments happen. meanwhile good morning. i'm adam tuss. >>

let's start with yesterday. what a winner. and it looks like today we will still have some mild temperatures, but maybe some rain. >> meteorologist tom kierein here with that. >> it was a dreamy afternoon. got in the mid-60s. and then overnight, dropped into the 50s and now predawn here on this sunday, under a mostly clear sky, temperatures in the 40s, a little bit of a freeze there. chilly morning. and then it does look like a rainy afternoon on the way. rain looking likely for wednesday into wednesday night. right now we do have a flash flood watch in effect for washington, arlington, all these counties in northern virginia including fairfax, loudoun, prince william county, points west. this is where we have the soil very saturated with rain beginning to move in. we could gave some flooding problems by late this afternoon into this evening. sma

out of their banks as well as perhaps the ponding of water. so watch out for high water especially after sun set, we get the rain moving through and then the snow melt adding to the flood threat. a look at the timing of the rain coming up. nothing easy about running for president, i can tell you. it's tough, it's nasty, it's mean, it's vicious. it's beautiful. when you win, it's beautiful. and we'll start -- we're goito start winning for our country. >> yeah, big developments in the race for the white house. hillary takes home a victory in nevada and the republican field is now one candidate smaller with the one time frontrunner bowing out. steve handelsman has more on how south carolina made jeb bush quit the race. >> reporter: its eelt second victory in a row for the national republican frontrunner, donald trump's first in the

and we're going to start -- we're going to start winning for our country. let's go, let's have a big win in nevada. let's have a big win at the s.e.c. let's put this thing away. >> reporter: but as they cast their ballots, mainstream republicans flocked to marco rubio powering the 44-year-old's comeback from fifth in new hampshire. >> tonight here in south carolina, the message is pretty clear. this country is now ready for a new generation of conservatives to guide us into the 21st centu century. >> reporter: ted cruz kept his spot in the top tier of three. >> we are the only campaign that has beaten and can beat donald trump. >> reporter: jeb bush finished far down in fourth and quit the race with a parting shot. >> we put forward detailed innovative conservative plans to address the mounting challenges that we face because despite what you might have

>> reporter: in nevada, hillary clinton lost her once big deed in the poles when you still won. >> i'm so, so thrilled and so grateful to all of my supporters out there. some may have doubted us, but we never doubted each other. >> reporter: union lead respect had pushed a big democratic caucus turnout which helped nullify bernie sanders' late surge. steve happndelsman, nbc news. the gop holds nevada caucuses on tuesday and the south carolina democratic plim area is next saturday. march 1, super tuesday. 13 states including virginia go to the polls. and coming up later this hour, chuck todd will join us on set to break todown the long tem

trump, marco rubio and bernie sanders on "meet the press." it's 6:06. p a reunion decades in the making. how a woman's act of kindness is helping form a new connection with someone she never got to know. and right now, disaster in fiji. the south pacific nation is in a state of emergency from a massive cyclone. the new damage we're seeing as thousands remain under curfew.

what are you doing -- where is your mother? and she says upstairs on the floor dead. >> wow. the shocking discovery of a d.c. woman back in 1973 now bring as bit of closure as she's reunited with the little girl she took care of on the most difficult day of her yo

this reunion was more than 40 years in the making. on saturday latisha simms got to thank sylvia morris in person. more ris found simms the day after her mother regina was murdered. she was just three years old. simms reached out to her after seeing an excerpt from a book about her life online. in it, she recounted the day she found the little girl wandering outside. >> just three years old, but i remember that day. that was my mom and that was the woman that too care of me. >> simms says she's grateful to be reconnected with morris to share those memories of her mom, someone she never got to know. right now five people are reported dead after a powerful cyclone tears through fiji. the south pacific nation is still under curfew and a 30 day state of emergency.

hour. some reports indicate entire villages have been flattened, schools ordered to shut up to for a week as parts of fiji are declared disaster zones. power, water communication services still out for almost 900,000 people there. 6:11. and while a lot of us got to enjoy the sunshine from yesterday -- >> awesome p. but. >> but we have to get ready for some rain. >> hey, tom. sdl not going to make it quite as warm as yesterday, but still milder than average temperatures. take a look at storm team 4 radar. don't have any rain here yet. but there is some rain in the midwest. right now that area of rain leading edge of it is in southern ohio, now coming into west virginia. these little areas in the orange and in the yellow, that is where it's coming down a little bit harder. maybe a little thunder and lightning coming into central west virginia. it's on a track to come into the panel h

2:00. and then right into the in the troh area. here is the hour by hour timing. maybe the central part of the shenandoah valley by 10:00 a.m. by 11:00, up near frederick, maryland over toward win which is ter and right throuwincheste valley. in the afternoon, as of 1:00, it comes right into the metro area. the area in yellow, moderate showers coming on through. the orange area stretching from prince william down toward charlottesville. and could be some thunder and lightning. and with the ground so saturated, we might have some flooding problems. most of the rain by 3:00 a.m. is exiting, but might get a few lingering sprinkles into the early evening hours. bulk of the accumulating rain will be east of the bay by 9:00, done and then by later this

but we do have a flash flood watch the areas in green. watch out for high water tonight. ground saturated from the melting snow and recent rains. so any rain on top of that could have creeks and streams out of their banks. right now temperatures in the upper 40s in washington. near 50 degrees around the chesapeake bay. shenandoah valley, too, in the low 50s right now. even in the 50s out in the mountains. and for the hour by hour forecast with the sky mostly clear now, we'll have sunshine this morning, then by thoon tim noontime, the clouds thickening up and then the rain arriving in the metro area 2:00, 3:00 into the evening hour. it tapers off quickly. temperatures in the upper 50s by around 1:00 this afternoon. four day forecast, we'll have down to the low 40s by dawn on monday. then tomorrow partly sunny, into the low 50s during the afternoon. then a powerful low pressure system will be at the timing closer

into wednesday. we'll have increasing clouds on tuesday, maybe a little light rain on tuesday afternoon, a high around 50. then showers likely on wednesday. could get moderate to heavy down pours wednesday might in to early thursday. and then a little sun back. and the winds could be gusting really strong maybe 50-mile-an-hour gusts late thursday afternoon into the early morning hours on friday. still a small chance of a shower on thursday afternoon. but those very strong winds lingering into midday friday. and then next weekend, saturday highs in the mid-40s. so cooler weather moving in next weekend. back to you. 6:14. next, we have reporter's note book for you. >> we'll be back in 15 minutes with more of the morning's top stories. let's get right to it. governor hogan of maryland, the honeymoon is over if it ever

existed with the legislative black caucus headlines accused him of and i quote assault on our black community. what is this about, why now, and what about this kumbaya attitude we heard during the state of the state address? >> i think the governor was hoping that would happen, but in reality, he's a republican governor in a heavily democratic state. general assembly rolled by democr controlled by testimonies and n democrats and you're seeing push back. the black caucus is sayingby controlled by testimonies and democrats and you're seeing push back. the black caucus is saying he's killing this light red line that would go through baltimore is hurting development this black communities. it's almost naturie i eliminati and he is diverting money

dom nafrntsly white suburbs who supported his election. >> and rural areas. so he's favoring those communities with his budget. >> and this is according to the plaque cau black caucus. his spokesperson says this is a new low, but the black caucus is piggybacking a lawsuit put forward by the naacp connecting the issue of the red line and the governor wiping it clean and they're saying this is an old school tactactic, this goes baco the 1930s in terms of where there is development that could bring jobs to african-american communities, that the state tends to look the other way. and so they're accusing him also of neglecting the african-american community. so you have it coming from both sides here. general assembly and the naacp. and so the governor now is pushing back and he's basically

a press release and zero credibility to the issue. >> but dave, here is the other thing. this is the first time he has faced i guess what we would refer to racial condemnation. and the other thing his spokesperson said is wait a minute, i have a very diverse family that he featured in his campaign ads. i have an african-american who is a lieutenant governor, this is absolutely unfair. your response? >> my response and his spornres, the ways's being handled, he personally has a good record as his father did. larry hogan, congressman from maryland, one of the few republicans who could get elected. that he's personally okay. but it's his policies. his, quote, republican policies that are harmful to african-americans and minorities vis-a-vis where the funding goes, the highways over the rapid

and seem to go have blind eye as to what this does to african-americans. they say personally he'd probably give his hurt off his back to you on the one hand which many republicans like this they say do, but when it comes to government programs to really help minorities, he's not really good. >> so again it boils down to not personal, right, but policy. these black law makers are saying look at the vote in term of giving voting rights back to felons who have been released but on probation. and the if you hagovernor vetoed they had to override that and that gives voting rights to 44,000 former felons, most were african american. at least half were in baltimore. and the governor said at that time that those who voted for this would pay because they might be thrown out of office because they're going against the will of the people. so right there, those law makers are seeing that as an issue of race, though he may not be a

policies are bordering along that line. >> and this is critical for hoe began because up to now as i have been going over the statistics, he's done fairly well for a republican among african americans. he tapped in to a xlgroup of unhappy people in the state including african americans and other minorities and that's why he got elected. but if this continues to boil up, it could be a big problem. >> some could argue, too, that i don't know if he so much tapped into it as that lieutenant governor brown ran a poor campaign. >> well, that's true, too. >> african-americans did not get out there and vote. and i think one of the things about that light rail system is those who are proponents of it, they're saying, listen, the federal government would have given $900 million for this project and still the governor decided to wipe it out. so many of those lawmakers find it hard to believe that he would leave that money on the table. >> let's spend some time talking about a

everyone baffled in prince george's county. and you know have school leaders, prosecutors meeting with parents. the question is still being asked how could so many children, i think the number now might be between 16, 18, more possible, could be victims of alleged porning on fraef aograp know about it inside the school. >> we're obviously talking about the case of deonte carraway who was an assistant and then a volunteer. >> and strange behavior. i heard he sometimes showed up in his pajamas to the school. >> and the superintendent and some stop edtop administrators h parents and even kevin maxwell, the superintendent, said we really don't have a lot of ar

this. but i think what it comes down to, the core of this, parents are saying how could no one see any of this. and i think what is being investigated here, too, is that maxwell has said that he believes some folks may have seen some things but not -- not seen, but might have been suspicious. >> 30 seconds before the break, whatcon founding, astoundi astounding. usually young people who are like pied pipers with other young people, when i was a parent, that was a red line and for some reason people chose if they knew about it not to talk about it. so i think we'll find out more about what caused this. >> well, let's continue on the other side the mayor of washington, d.c. is headed -- well, is in cuba as we speak. so we'll continue with more of reporter's notek

welcome back. i'm joe madison in for pat muse. seems like everybody is going cuba. the president announced he will be going cuba end of march. the mayor of washington, d.c. and i do believe the county executive of montgomery county, they're in cuba. so what are these trips about? let's talk about for the mayor, for the county executive. what do they have to offer cuba, what is it cuba have to offer us here in the d.c. area? >> isn't that really what the trip is about. some could say it's a fact finding mission. obviously they know going over that they probably want to try to maybe increase tour

washington, d.c. we know that's a big factor here in washington. and with travel opening up, the mayor and especially the county executive. that could be one where you're saying ike leggett, what is he exactly looking for, what does he hope to accomplish. but for the mayor, this isn't anything new. she went to china last year. so in her mind, she can probably go over and say, listen, washington, d.c. is an international city. we have an international population. this is a chance for us to kind of see what kind of connections we can have with cuba. but obviously she can't overstep the president, but she's getting a little heads up on him. but it's sort of really hard i was going to say to fault her forring f ing f going over there, but politically nobody will push back on the mayor. >> i did a broadcast from cuba last june. and what i found is that the cubans especially the

opportunity because they don't remember the could yuban missil crisis. republicans on capitol hill say the president is wrong for going help how come we don't get that kind of response when it's the local elected officials is this. >> well, i think in the immediate washington area, which is perceived as somewhat more moderate or liberal, an official going cuba might not raise hackles or any objections here to utah or new mexico or some other place. so i think there is kind of an open mind on that. but i think there will be people watching to see if there is any nudging done by the mayor or the county executive on human rights issues. maybe not some statements so much, but some questions of the people that they see, how are we going to deal with these issues. something of substance could come out of these talks, although i agree it's mainly to see about

and testing the waters. and you know, these are high profile issues. these are high profile officials. the mayor of washington, d.c., county executive of one of his prominent counties, these people are player. >> udc has an exchange program, they started an exchange program with students there as it relates cuba. >> and sure the mayor can sort of carry that. but what i think is interesting here is we know how congress can really sort of get inside the goings on of washington, d.c. just because of the particular situation you have with d.c. government as part of the nation's capital. and so it will be interesting if congress is actually watching the mayor, knowing that the president will be following right -- >> three weeks later. >> right. and this is a national issue. senator cruz, senator rubio both say the president should not be there, that it should be until

it's not a communist state, until it's a free cuba. so the mayor and county executive are walking into a hot political issue going on at least in terms of rubio and cruz. >> but doesn't business trump that? >> usually does. >> let's be honest. obviously montgomery county, they want to be a high tech area. we have a lot of tech industry inside of the district of columbia. this is really business -- a business trip. >> sure. testing the waters on trade will be paramount, but congress is coming back this week, they have been off for the presidents day holiday. it will be interesting to see if -- cruz of course trying to expand funding to school attendance. so you could argue he's meddling. other people saying he's helping the district. but whether anybody will come up and say because of what the

funding, i hadn't gotten that far yet. >> probably the last issue we may have a chance to get around to, the fire chief is under fire in the district of columbia. and i don't know the exact wording, but he lacks compassion, one of his top aides resigned. there was a hearing and lack of confidence was expressed by several members. he says, look, give me time. we have a private ambulance service, that's going to solve the problem. quickly, is this fair to the chief of police? he just got here and there is some so-called culture that they're accusing the fire department of having. >> well, it's probably not fair, but he has a major position in the district so fair doesn't count.

your point, i just got here. give me a minute to sort of straighten these things out. and in his mind having this private ambulance service coming into supplement the ems or the emt will help i think in his view because it will open up space for the ambulance system to really respond to what they believe are critical calls. . >> in the time he's been here, there is still evidence of people not being able to find out where they're supposed to go, bad response record and also break to breakdowns. >> well, we'll see. and i imagine we'll be discussing it more. thank you both very much. now back to news 4.

we're following. seven people are dead after a man goes on a shooting sfree in kalamazoo county, michigan. they have a 45-year-old man in custody right now. and decision 2016, hillary clinton takes home a victory in nevada. on the republican side, donald trump won the south carolina primary. the republican field is smaller this morning. jeb bush suspended his campaign. he finished the south carolina primary with just 8% of the vote. >> so just a few things going on. >> yeah, including that beautiful sunrise right behind us. hi, everyone. i'm angie goff. >> and i'm adam tuss. the other story of course is the weather. yesterday was so beautiful. >> tom, really loving that taste of spring we got. >> yeah, we did. and now we have an apricot sunrise matching your dress, angie, starting off early on this sunday morning, just a

high clouds. very light breeze there at union station as we've had our mild temperatures kind of hold in overnight. it's going to be rather chilly through the morning hours. and then rain likely moving in this afternoon. and then some moderate maybe heavy rain on wednesday into wednesday night. i'll have the timing on that coming up. right now it is in the 50s shenandoah valley. nearby suburbs, most locations in the 40s. a few spots have dipped in to the 30s. reagan national at 49. we do have a flash had to wash out through this evening as some of the showers coming through going to be falling on saturated ground from the snow melt that we had. this includes the district of columbia, all these counties in green, arlington, fairfax, prince william, loudoun, culpeper points west. could have some high water, creeks and streams may be out of their banks. some ponding of water by late this afternoon into early this

donald trump and hillary clinton are the big winners in decision 2016 this weekend. the gop primary in south carolina and the democratic caucus in nevada are narrowing town t down the race. >> joining us now, chuck todd. i saw a headline that sums it up best. not even touchdown can stop donald trump. >> that was a pretty good head line. >> you go after

double digits. >> it is remarkable. he's remaking the republican party. we'll see. there are still republicans out there that say, well, let's see what happens when it's just one-on-one between a real republican and donald trump. we've been weighiay waiting for wait until this or that happens. donald trump keeps rolling along. he hasn't for tgotten 50% anywh. he ask have two well financed challenges in ted cruz and marco rubio, but right now he's the undisputed frontrunner and it's advantage him especially if this stays a three-way race. in you ta >> you talk about the finances, but didn't he spend significantly lower amounts much money in the race? >> yeah, the people that have spent the most money are the ones that have not won anything yet. jeb bush is out of the race. he has outspe

the guy who has spent the second most is marco rubio. he has yet to win a single state.third most amount of money is ted cruz and he's won one state. donald trump has won two and has spent, you know, less money than all of the remaining candidates left in the race. >> and it's really a fascinating discussion. and i think at some point the party has to realize that they have to -- if this was anybody else, don't you think at this point they would be saying it's time to unite? >> it's interesting -- well, yes. if this were anybody else, we'd say this race is over. anybody else. mitt romney pulled it off and would have been done earlier than it was in 2012. john mccain can it pull this off, he won new hampshire and south carolina. it was essentially done. one week later, florida was the last stand of rudy giuliani and mike huckabee. it didn't work. mccain was the nominee. anybody else, and this would be a done deal. th

gasp. a bunch of money goes marco rubio's way. but ted cruz has a constituency. he hasn't been able to grow that constituency, but he has significant chunk of the electorate. so maybe we're staring at a convention and it does feel as if that is what everybody else is playing for. that rubio and cruz aren't play to ing to win, just stopping trump from getting a majority. >> somebody breathing a huge sigh of relief this morning is hillary clinton. >> sanders victory here, more moment momentum, this suddenly -- if sanders couldn't win under these circumstances, diverse state, all the advantages structurally were on sanders' side. and she held it off. now when you look at the next 12 contests, she's a favorite in eight of the next 12. she could roll off a whole bunch and then she'll have a small but

durable lead of dell fwat egate sanders won't be able to catch if it goes the way it appears. >> and you've got trump? >> trump, cruz, rubio, sanders. is that enough for you? >> thanks, buddy. and you can see "meet the press" every sunday right here on nbc 4 right after "news 4 today." metro train operators are running red lights with 200-top trains full of passengers. federal transit administration review found that human errors are a serious problem.
