happening in tysons, more jobs and housing, 123 can't stay in its current form. the county department of transportation tells news 4 we think this concept is necessary in order for route 123 to function at a reasonable level. we don't have an option other than this so for right now, more study, but it appears it's just a matter of time before this road changes. >> reporter: back here now live as the traffic makes its way on to route 123. another obstacle facing this whole idea, erica. this road, 123 goes right into tyson's mall. back to you. >> adam tuss, thank you so very much. as metro prepares to launch safe track. the transit area will alert you to the program and at some transfer points like metro center and lafont plaza, workers are handing out flyers and it will include more single

the decision to allow the six students to receive their diplomas at graduation. >> you did all of the work up to senior year. one mess up shouldn't affect all of that. >> i think it's really important for people, especially young people to understand consequences. >> i understand that principal jones' intentions were to keep people safe, but at the same time i kind of felt like singling out these six kids was a little harsh considering there were a lot of people who weren't caught. >> reporter: ahead at 6:00, whether this con ro versy is going to affect tomorrow's graduation. that's the latest, erica, back to you. >> chris gordon, thank you very much. the fight over california getting tighter and hillary clinton has new ammo and bernie sanders is digging his heels into the battle that could give him new leverage at the democratic national convention. police shot a man accused

community's open space. >> if they think six years down the road there will be another parcel of land, they've got to be kidding themselves. >> they simply don't want the homeless in their back yard. that's not true at all. we think the homeless population need a home. i would only move the shelter once and so far we haven't found the permanent site. >> when the permanent center is found, what will become of the temporary shelter? a murder witness who blinked to identify his shooter is now under way in prince georges county. jermaine hails is accused of shooting a man, leaving that victim paralyzed from the neck down. melvin pate identified hails by blinking at a police photo lineup. he died in 2012 and the case has gone through a series of hearings and appeals. maryland's court of appeals say
