what kyle odom did today as he challenged his extradition to idaho. standing before the judge wearing gym shorts, a t-shirt, and shackles, kyle odom declined to be extradited back to idaho and requested a hearing before the d.c. superior court's chief judge. the judge granted his request and ordered him held without bond until that hearing next month saying not only does odom pose a threat to the community, but he also poses an extreme risk of flight. kyle odom was arrested tuesday night by secret service agents after he was seen throwing objects over the white house fence. police say it was a manifesto as well as a computer thumb drive. >> there's a number of people that were listed in the manifesto. there's a number of u.s. senators and house of representatives people, israeli government officials. it was extensive and it was disturbing to us. >> reporter: odom became the prime suspect in a shooting sunday outside this church in idaho. the pastor of that

remington, remains in serious condition after being shot six times. police say odom was able to board a commercial flight from boise to d.c. despite being a suspect in that shooting. this morning secret service conducted a search of the white house grounds. also in court today, an fbi agent expecting odom to be transferred back to idaho. now, odom will appear before d.c.'s chief judge of the superior court on april 6th. at that hearing the only issue will be is the idaho warrant valid and is he, in fact, kyle odom? between now and then he is likely to undergo a psychiatric evaluation. in court today no discussion of his motive, of his manifesto, or how he was able to board a commercial airline flight given he was a wanted man. tim remington has regained consciousness and is talking with his family.

doing better, but that he still faces a long road to recovery. after odom was arrested last night, the family released a statement saying they were happy that the suspected shooter is in custody. a surprise on the campaign trail today. former presidential candidate carly fiorina declared her support for a former gop rival, senator ted cruz. >> and i walked into the ballot bock and i looked at the ballot and i saw my own name on the ballot. it was kind of a thrill. but then i checked the box for ted cruz and i'm here to tell you why. >> the endorsement comes as cruz makes a late but determined effort to force senator marco rubio to defend his home turf of florida. the strategy is widely seen as an effort to force rubio out of the race so cruz can compete head to head with donald trump. meanwhile, the republican national committee filed two hillary clinton-related lawsuits

to produce electronic messages sent or received by clinton and her top aides during her tenure as secretary of state. rnc lawyers say they filed requests for the material last year under the freedom of information act and have yet to receive the documents. state department officials said today they don't comment on ongoing litigation. it is a long slog, and he's a formidable opponent. that's what bill clinton said tonight about his wife's loss to bernie sanders in that michigan primary last night, but the former president also told nbc news that if hillary clinton wins ohio next week, no one will remember the michigan upset. for now all eyes are on the sunshine state where clinton and sanders will debate in about three hours. jay gray is live in miami with a closer look now. jay? >> reporter: hey, yeah, and you're absolutely right, jim. ohio, florida, the big prizes next week. right now the focus is here along the coast where they're bracing for a poc

primaries last night, is calling on the gop establishment to embrace his campaign now. >> what i say to the republicans is, embrace it. we will win the election easily. >> reporter: john kasich is trying to hold on through next tuesday's primary in his home state of ohio, while ted cruz is looking for traction after a win overnight in idaho and an endorsement today from carly fiorina. >> it always comes down to florida, doesn't it? >> reporter: and most agree marco rubio must win his home state to keep the florida sun from setting on his campaign. that's right, again, the democrats on stage here tonight. tomorrow it's the republicans debating at the university of miami. that's the latest live here in miami. i'm jay gray, news4. jim, back to you. >> thanks, jay. a dead heat in the maryland senate race. chris van hollen and donna edwards will face-off in the democratic primary to fill the seat being vacated by barbara mccloskey. a new poll from gonzalez research shows a statistical tie right now between the

it is the third poll this year to show the candidates basically tied. but if it's broken down by counties that are currently served in congress by those representatives, then there's a different story. edwards leads in prince george's county with 69% of the vote. van hollen leads in montgomery county with 65% of the vote. primary day in maryland is april 26th. early voting begins on april 14th. we stand today. >> people on both sides of the gun debate demonstrating in annapolis today as lawmakers there consider some tougher gun laws. there are 16 new bills concerning guns moving through the maryland legislature. chris gordon is talking to victims of gun violence who made the trip to annapolis today. >> reporter: maryland has some of the toughest gun laws in the country, but

today heard that there are loopholes that need to be closed to protect the public. >> if you're someone who is on the terrorist watch list, you can't buy a gun. we've been trying to pass this legislation at the federal level. i have been trying for years to get this common sense measure through. >> reporter: these demonstrators want to keep guns from people who are mentally ill, require registration of long guns, and confiscate weapons illegally owned by domestic offenders. the leader of this rally is a victim of gun violence. it happened in cheverly, maryland, in 2008. it happened right across the street from yesterday's double murder. >> i was carjacked. i was nine months pregnant leaving the grocery store one night, and i was carjacked at gunpoint. >> reporter: and where did that leave you? how did that leave you? >> what it did for me is it showed me it's way too easy for dangerous people to get their hands on guns. >> reporter: this counter demonstration was held by gun owners who say they have a

second amendment right to bear arms. they say the laws on the books are not the problem. >> we agree wholeheartedly that guns should be kept out of the hands of criminals, and i would contend that none of these laws they're talking about today would have any effect upon doing that. >> it's not the gun laws that are our problem. it's the way the criminal laws we already have on the books are not being enforced. >> are this has happened before and once again maryland gun laws are dividing people who have strongly held beliefs on both sides. reporting from annapolis, chris gordon, news4. tonight mourners are paying their final respects to former first lady nancy reagan. she will be buried alongside her husband friday. for many today was a day to reflect on her life, her love, and how she changed the white house. nbc's brian mooar has the story. >> reporter: for years these secret service agents were sworn to protect the life of former first lady nancy reagan, and today they offered a token of their enduring respect, helping to escort her to her final

as a hearse made its way to the reagan presidential library, people lined the roadway. some carried signs, others waved flags. a few expressed profound sadness. >> absolutely heart broken. >> reporter: when she died at age 94 she had been largely out of the public eye but far from forgotten as the wife, partner, protector, and love of the late president ronald reagan. she was celebrated for her impeccable sense of style, the services choreographed my mrs. reagan herself were understated and dignified. a simple casket laid at the entrance for a brief service for family members. over the next day she'll lie in repose here so the public can say farewell. then a private service on friday attended by first ladies from rosalynn carter to hillary clinton and michelle obama. for many the reflections of this first lady begin and end with an unbreakable bond. >> i think i respect that so much, that besides anythin

that they were one. >> reporter: nancy and ronald reagan, inseparable in life, soon to be reunited. brian mooar, nbc news. sadness tonight about the nation's first uterus transplant. the woman who received a transplant at the cleveland clinic experienced a sudden complication yesterday. the uterus had to be removed. doctors say the 26-year-old woman is recovering well. they are still exploring what went wrong, but they say they plan to move forward with clinical trials that will include more transplants. a teenage boy charged with murder after apparently trying to protect his mother from an abusive boyfriend. coming up, we've got new information about what happened in the moments right before that shooting. and we'll report the new numbers that show how americans feel about filling the vacant seat on the supreme court. plus excitement over the revised peak period for our c

without a pitfall. why driving in that area could get a whole lot worse now that it's been moved. record warmth today, and now we could be even higher tomorrow. 80 to 85 degrees. who could top out that high tomorrow and when we could see some changes. i'll have it all coming

we just can't get enough of it. today's weather makes it feel like spring came a bit early this year. it also got to our famous cherry blossoms. the peak bloom dates have been moved up as you know because of these warm temperatures, and so have all the things that come with the cherry blossoms, like traffic. derrick ward has our story. >> reporter: it's a local right of spring, the cherry blossom festival. it will go on as planned this year from march 20th to april 17th, but the blossoms themselves, this year they couldn't wait. they will bloom early. the peak bloom period starts march 18th instead of march 31st. >> this is actually the earliest i have experienced in 16 years, and probably i might think it's the earliest in history. >> reporter: it would also mean earlier crowds over the course of the festival period. more than a million people typically converge on the tidal basin and even fans of the flowers don't look forward to that. >> yeah, that's not my favorite part of it, just the crowds and everything. >> reporter: with

cherry blossom traffic could be a blooming nightmare. >> it's great for the city to have all the people come down here. >> it could be very positive for the city that they're blooming during the time of spring break. >> reporter: positive, indeed. revenue expectations usually hover around $150 million in cherry blossom related spending but locals can factor in longer commute times if the commutes carry them through this part of town and what little close-in parking there is won't be there either but that shouldn't keep folks away. >> if more people come, obviously it's better. >> reporter: so remember now, the new peak bloom period is between march 18th and the 23rd. the actual festival starts march 20th and runs through april 17th, and the d.c. circulator will start its summer hours on march 20th. it may help alleviate traffic. there's always metro. derrick ward, news4. attorney general loretta lynch, a federal judge in miami. the

all three have told president obama they do not want to be considered for the opening on the nation's highest court. steve handelsman is outside the supreme court right now with the new poll that suggests most americans want that job filled. steve? >> reporter: right, jim. you can see why some people, maybe not those three, might shy away, because texas senator, conservative texas senator, john cornyn is warning potential obama picks that they would be beaten up like pinatas, have their reputations damaged, and then still be rejected by senate republicans. even though today's poll might encourage the president to actually make a pick. it might not help him, but president obama is backed now by most americans in the supreme court fight. 55% in today's nbc news/"wall street journal" poll disapprove of the senate not considering a nominee. 48% say vote this year, up from

republicans claim most americans want the next president to fill the court's vacancy. >> my constituents back in texas and i think my sense is people at large don't want this lame duck president tilting the ideological balance of the supreme court. >> reporter: and in the senate judiciary committee today -- >> we have a right to determine -- >> reporter: the republican chair said no hearing and no vote despite democrats demanding them. >> the senate's consideration of the next supreme court nomination shouldn't be a question of politics or electoral map. >> reporter: in this election year, the white house is leaking that mr. obama is interviewing relative moderates, possibly including appeals court judges merit garland, srsrinivasan but high court expert amy howe says it will not sway republicans. >> they are trying to set it up so it will be hard for them to seem like they are turning down a nominee,

without a hearing, but i think that's the path that we're on right now. >> reporter: so it still looks like eight justices will be deciding the cases here at the high court into 2017 even if today's poll indicates that's not what the nation wants. live from the supreme court, steve handelsman, news4. jim and jim, back to you. >> steve, thank you. taylor force was a west point graduate. he served combat tours in iraq and afghanistan. he was murdered in tel aviv, israel, last night by a palestinian man who stabbed more than ten other people during a 20-minute rampage. that attack happened just as vice president biden and his family arrived in the region to meet with israeli and palestinian leaders. >> my wife and my two grandchildren and granddaughter are having dinner on the beach not very far from where that happened. >> anybody that's met taylor would know your

cigna. together, all the way. this is the xfinity sports desk, brought to you by xfinity, your home for the most live sports. >> free agency, and jason has some interesting news. >> a lot of big news coming out of free agency. before i start, let me just say, chase daniel, former redskins quarterback undrafted free agent rookie, he signed for three years, $21 million, $7 million a year to the philadelphia eagles. he's completed 50 passes his entire career. 50 passes. $7 million a year. >> good for him. great for him. >> way to go. >> come nfl free agency, all it takes is for one big domino to fall and everything else plays off that. for example, brock osweiler leaving the broncos for the texans today in free agency. that move affects a number of people, most notably kirk

cousins and robert griffin iii. most expected osweiler to take denver but he's headed to houston for a monster four-year deal. $37 million is guaranteed. not bad for a guy who started just seven nfl games. his contract affecting the d.c. sports landscape as well. with osweiler in denver, the defending super bowl champions in desperate need for a quarterback. enter robert griffin iii. many thinking the broncos could be the team for griffin. super bowl winning defense, talented wide receiving group could suit rg3 very well. espn reporting the broncos have him on their list of possible replacements. cousins who started all 16 games led the redskins to the playoffs. he signed a franchise tag worth over $19 million for 2016, but now with osweiler making $18 million a year, the price tag

for kirk may have gone four seasons with the red skings. a much more polished resume than osweiler and the redskins can negotiate a long-term deal with cousins up until july 15th. red skips re-signing colt mccoy. he became a huge priority after they released rg3. colt has appeared in seven games in the last two seasons. also they re-signed kedric golston, defensive lineman. also linebacker mason foster. he played in 13 games and recorded 37 tackles and then safety duke ihenacho. he missed 15 games due to a broken wrist in the season opener. osweiler, you like the contract? are you surprised by the move? i thought he would stay in

denver but if you're getting $72 million, i think that makes sense. among other things we have to keep in mind, those guys only have a few years. he might not get another payday. >> and also skiskirk cousins, pe saying he's not worth $19 million. is osweiler worth $18 million? if he is, kirk is definitely worth $19 million. >> i hope he gets it. >> kirk? >> yeah. hey, not my money. >> not my money either. college basketball, a couple teams in our area need to have great performances in their conference tournaments to make it to the big dance. george washington is one of those teams. despite winning 22 games and knocking off fourth-ranked virginia earlier this season, g.w. is currently on the outside looking in. >> i think our guys know they have blown some golden opportunities, but the good thing now is, you know, we have a tournament. all the games are winnable and

we have a new start. so i think they'll be reall off to a good start so we'll keep our confidence level high. >> if you start thinking about results and games, everything is going to get into your head. just stay calm and transmit that energy to your teammates knowing that we're fine if we play hard, we can win. that's the mentality we have right now. a new rule, you cannot go to sleep when d.c. teams are on the west coast. late last night the wizards in a good game with the blazers. seconds left john wall knocking down a huge three to give them the lead. but the blazers did come back to tie the ball game thanks to c.j. mccollum and for the second night a d.c. team went to overtime out west. damian lillard was just too good last night or early this morning i should say. add monster game. 41 points, 11 assists. the wizards lose 116-109. next up they will take on the jazz on friday. the caps also in action tonight. they're visiting the kings.

also george mason taking on st. louis right now in the a-10 georgetown, they're also in action tonight as well. >> madness about to begin. >> it is.

>> here we go. >> "nightly news" is coming breaking news tonight, a deadly flood emergency. tens of millions in tonight, a deadly flood emergency. tens of millions in the path. evacuations under way right now. tonight high water rescues and the national guard has been deployed. going for a knockout. donald trump says he's looking to take out his rivals once and for all as pressure mounts on marco rubio. what he's telling us exclusively. plus, the bernie sanders shocker. high anxiety. how was a man wanted for attempted murder able to fly across the country, taken down by secret service at the white house. tax scam alert, thousands being fooled by callers claiming to be the irs and demanding money. wait until you see what happens when we called back. and the fifth
