a guy hijacked a metro bus after attacking the driver with pliers. they say he side swiped a van with senior citizens on board and ran over a guy outside of the gas station. >> we have team kofrm coverage e hijackers. let's start with pat collins. what are you hear sng. >> reporter: chris, a guy assaults a metro bus driver and then steals the bus. he side swipes the van. it was a strange procession, police cars front and back as they towed away this stolen metro bus from the death scene. >> reporter: this metro bus, the striking vehicle in a bizarre bus

in the parking lot of this crown gas station in northeast. >> it is a bizarre incident, very uncharacteristic for someone to try and take a bus and attack a bus driver. >> reporter: it started a few blocks away when a man using long needle nose pliers attacks the bus driver. the driver manages to break away and stumble off the bus. the passengers race out the back door. >> reporter: a lot of cops? did they have their guns drawn? >> yeah, when they first got n he was still on the bus trying to move the bus. >> reporter: start to finish, it took about three minutes. police say it began when a man used some needle nose pliers to attack the bus driver and steal the metro bus. a short time later, he drove the bus into the gas station and ran over a man taking out the trash. how would you describe him? >> he is honest,

good guy, good customer. >> reporter: for him to die this way? >> yeah. i am not feeling good. >> reporter: on the scene today, police chief cathy nier. >> reporter: it is a bizarre incident, very uncharacteristic for someone to try and take a bus and attack a bus driver. >> reporter: the suspect is said to be known to the police. he was taken in for observation. chris, back to you. >> thank you very much, pat. some drivers say metro isn't doing enough to keep them safe. the agency has installed protective shields on some new buses but not all the vehicles have them. mark segraves continues our team kofrm wi coverage with reaction on the dangers they are facing every day. >> there has been a debate over where the bus driver should be shielded by some sort of protective cage to prevent assaults like these. >> today, the

on more than 200 metro buses, there is a device that may have at least slowed the suspect down. these new protective doors, they can only be opened from the inside and they offer at least some protection for the driver and the passengers on board. >> that seems like that kind of shield would have prevented something like that happening this morning. so if you can prevent something from happening instead of reacting to it once it does, that sounds like a good idea to me. >> there are currently 362 metro buses with the new shields. by the end of the year, 531 buses will have the new safety devices. about a third of the more than 1500 buses that metro operates. now, today, after this incident, the union representing metro bus drivers issued a statement calling on metro management to increase the number of police officers they have protecting them. a metro spokesperson tells us they acty

office s officeers where they see spikes in crime. attacks on bus drivers have declined by about 30%. an official with metro who is not aut rye todhorized to speak camera tells me the metro union and officials since the general manager took over have been working together on new safety training and protocols. they also note that the metro union has been pushing back on the mandatory use of those shields that protect the bus drivers. that's the very latest here live. chris, back to you. >> great context and insight, mark. bus driver assaults are nothing new for metro. a report a couple years ago by the news 4 i-team found at least 170 assaults on bus drivers over a three-year span. scott mcfarland's report included this powerful toot annal of some of those attacks. passengers lunging at drivers. a woman chasing a driver out of the bus with pepper sp

adam tuss has the troubling details. >> a huge spark that just seemed to grow larger and larger. this was just a few weeks back at mcpherson square. it was the reason metro decided to shut the system down for an entire day. it was too similar to this event, the deadly lafont plaza smoke episode. today, metro taking the brunt of a lashing by federal investigators. >> this just seems reprehensible. >> something is fundamentally flawed. >> reporter: the cause revealed a huge short circuit in the tunnel that burned up equipment, a problem that wasn't addressed because of lax inspection and maintenance. in the course of the investigation, this bombshell. in the past, metro has hugh

teen routinely used trains with passengers to p investigate reports of fire or smoke instead of stopping all trains and using a qualified person to follow up on a report. >> reporter: the ntsb delivered safety lapse after safety lapse statement after statement showing that metro and even the ream yun were not prepare for a smoke and fire event in a tunnel. metro's board chair, jack evans, telling news 4, big decisions are coming about closing sections of the system to fix them. >> i am trying to prepare everybody in the reasonable yun for the fact that we need to do this. >> reporter: it is now recommended that incompetent credibly strong oversight be ramped up. the only way to get back on track according to the ntsb. >> the traveling public deserves no less. h. >> reporter: even tonight, metro officials seem caught off guard by some of the revelations. they disputed that trains full of passengers were ever used to find smoke and fire

white mustang that were shot during this. the mustang has a window that is blown out. we believe the victim was in her early 20s, walking down the street and shot multiple times. crime scene investigators are here. we have had a lot of residents come out and ask us, what's going on? they are standing around, very, very concerned about this broad daylight shooting. i believe it happened just before 4:00 this afternoon. there is a large d.c. police presence here as well as most of the top officials of the department here on the scene answering questions from residents and trying to give them updated information about this shooting. live in northwest, jackie bensen, news 4. chris and doreen, back to you. >> thank you, jacque. we'll stay on top of that story. a navy seal has been killed in

misidentified. it started with an amateur historian recovering from surgery. >> nbc's pete williams is work thg story for nightly news. we know it is five marines, one navy coreman. what have you learned? >> the marines have said for the past 70 years the one navy corpsman was james bradley, who is -- john bradley, the navy corpsman, who was the father of james bradley who wrote the book "flags of our fathers" that was made into the movie by clint eastwood, directedly clint eastwood and produced by steven spielberg. that's bradley roughly in themile. it appears and bradley's own son tells us that he now believes na his father is not one of the six men cast in bronze. why the confusion? this picture by a.p. photographer on iwo jima, the highest point of

was stormed by the marines in 1945. that was the second flag raising that day. just two hours before, a smaller flag had been raised by a group of marines. now, the amateur historians that have gone back and looked at photographs from the time and compared them to what pictures people were wearing at different points on mount surabachi believe that the marines have made two mistakes. they failed to name some of the men who were involved in raising the first flag including navy co corpsman, john bradley and then put bradley by mistake in the second group that actually raised the flag the second time when joe rosenthal captured that picture. the marines say they are taking another look at this. it is a big change for the marines. many amateur historians can come forward. the actual names were chaed between '45 and '47. the marines have said they

they got it right and now they are taking another look. >> hard to imagine how you can identify anybody from the grain any old photos. a good reaction from families yet. >> very important to the families. very few survivors are plest from the iwo jima battle. it is important to them to get the credit. many have died without getting the credit. some have died getting the credit for the wrong place. bradley's father has always said he participated in the flag raising. james now says he thinks his father was referring to the first flag raising and not the second. >> it certainly doesn't take away from bradley's service in the least. >> if you are as fascinated as i am, you are going to want to stay tuned. pete is going to have more details on "nbc nightly news" right after news 4:00 at 6:00. the massive cleanup still under way. find out when trains may start running again through this part of town. >> reporter: i'm julie carey in
