on. this was an incredible showing as manager after manager and train load after train load of managers showed up here at the grove and stratstation. and if there is an unsafe situation on the rails then you need to fully investigate and that's what paul wiedefeld, the general manager of metro was trying to instill in all of his managers. basically that safety has to trump service at metro and the gm also told us there was talk about staff shake-ups. take a listen. are you trying to tell some of them that if they don't get onboard with you that the doors are aren't open? >> the reality is they know where i'm coming from and i laid out very specifically the types of things i'm expecting and if they can manage that, fine, and if not it's probably not a good fit. >> reporter: ultimately, this whole conference was about accountability and taking pride in metro, gu

adam, about the level that he expects, but the thing that stood out to me about this meeting was the managers got to ask the general manager questions, as well. what do they say? for some of these managers they'd never met the general manager before and it was interesting for all of them to get in the same room and one of the questions they asked them is why had there been so many metro general managers and his answer is it's not about the gm at metro. it's about you, the managers that make the truest impact and that's why maybe there has been a turnover with the metro general managers. of course, this guy would like to stick around for a while. >> all right. thank you very much. great contacts. thank you, adam. i'm wendy rieger at the live desk. this good afternoon a grand jury indicted three brothers for an ambush at a police station that led to the death of a prince g

the polling places and here's the reason why. just the republican ballot for the primary is eight pages long. the candidates for the courts for governor for the presidential nomination and despite all those races, voters with whom we spoke seem fixated on the presidential race though it's long considered to be decided if the front-runners are likely to advance voters in the eastern panhandle of west virginia want to be heard on choosing the hillary clinton, bernie sanders or among the republican candidates and they're fighting for seats at the convention themselves including this man running to be an official trump delegate in cleveland. >> reporter: you are more interested in being a trump delegate than you are in the process more than championing mr. trump. >> i'm interested in being a delegate to the convention first to make sure the process is fair. >> reporter: coming up on news 4 at 5:00, there is one name on this ballot you should hear about. a 19-year-old running for reelection to the statehouse. for now, in

what extent. how much do we consume and how is that related to how impaired we are behind the wheel? >> reporter: behavior and dilated pupils are indicators of drug use. aaa suggests police officers could have special training to determine a driver's impairment with blood tests as a backup. erica edwards, nbc news. to say it's been a tough day on the job for these workers in new york city would be an understatement. if you take a look at this, you would see scaffolding dangling 17 stories up. window washers are now safe after being trapped for 40 minutes on the side of this skyscraper. firefighters performed a very daring rescue. the first responders rappelled from the roof and helped the workers through a smashed-out window. storm team 4 brought you the live pictures of tornadoes as they hit. now thousands of people in oklahoma are cleaning up from all of the damage.
