5:05 pm
last night, a domestic dispute started between willis walker and his estranged wife. >> we heard a gunshot. i guess ten minutes later cops pulled up and they blocked everything off. they told us we couldn't leave the driveway. >> reporter: walker grabbed a shotgun firing at his wife as she ran outside to a neighbor's home. >> banging on the door screaming for help. the neighbor in turn called 911 immediately. >> reporter: the neighbors a 70-year-old woman and a 74-year-old man opened the door and locked it. >> once he got into the home, he fired and killed the male occupant, 74-year-old male, in the home. >> reporter: by that point, deputies had already arrived. surrounded the home. walker allegedly had beaten his wife and stepped on the deck shotgun in hand telling the officers -- >> i've killed two. >> reporter: walker refused
5:06 pm
put the gun down. a sergeant on scene fired one shot, killing walker. >> it is very shocking. >> reporter: landon didn't know the neighbor walker allegedly killed, but knew the suspect as a kind person. tonight the sheriff tells me that the woman who initially reported this incident, walker's wife, has been released from the hospital. she's been treated for non-life threatening injuries. police are investigating this at the state level so they can continue to look into this. >> such a tragedy there. to a developing story out of montgomery county again where some parents are finding out tonight that a high school teacher was fired for allegedly taking inappropriate pictures of students in class. the county says todd scriber was a teacher at bethesda chevy chase high school. jackie bensen is theron
5:07 pm
>> reporter: we're told this came to the attention of the police after a 14-year-old girl who was taking a test in scriber's classroom after school went to ask him a question and noticed he appeared to be sliding his phone under her skirt. police have charged him with three counts of sexual abuse of a minor after finding pictures on his phone. the high school teacher was placed on leave last october after a female student expressed concerns to her parents and they called police. scriber has since been fired. the school's principal wrote the charges represent a serious breach of trust, responsibility, integrity, and the law. we spoke to students who say they appreciate that the matter was taken seriously. >> it's really important to know that students are safe all around the school and around the county. >> i
5:08 pm
it is really important to know so all the students are safe. >> reporter: none of the female victims had any idea that scriber was taking their picture, that they were innocent victims in all this. news4. back to you. match set. after big victories last night, hillary clinton skremcements he as presumptive nominee. she is now pivoting towards the general election, but bernie sanders isn't backing down. >> even before last night, hillary clinton had been declared the presumptive nominee because with the help of some of those superdelegates she hit the magic number of 2383. thanks to some big victories in both new jersey and california, take a look at this. her combined lead is several hundred beyond that required to
5:09 pm
she leads sanders by millions in the popular vote and the number of contests won. at this point, the only contest left is right here in the district next tuesday. 46 delegates at stake. more than half of them are superdelegates. earlier, i spoke with chuck todd about california and clinton's new approach this time around. >> i think she's simply acknowledging the historic nature of the moment. i think it's perfectly appropriate, but i think you'll -- my guess is you'll see her talk about this about as often as barack obama did when he was the nominee in 08. every so often it would come up. getting the nomination, winning on election night. i would be surprised if you see this as a continuing theme throughout the campaign. >> how did she turn a two-point spread into a doue
5:10 pm
in california? >> well, look, i think there were two things that benefitted her in california. number one was the diversity of the electorate. her victory in california is the same as she got in florida, texas, and new york. in the big diverse states, she outperformed him in those key demographic groups. california has one of the largest populations that mail in their ballots. they don't vote at the polls. they get their ballots in the mail and send them back. hillary clinton clearly banked a lot more votes than bernie sanders ever did. to me, it's a sign of what's to come for donald trump, if he's not careful. bernie sanders had a campaign, had an organization. clintons was better. right now, donald trump doesn't have an organization. >> coming up, we're going to get chuck's thoughts on a meeting scheduled between president
5:11 pm
meanwhile donald trump is trying to raise money as he looks ahead to the general election with clinton. the republican will be in richmond, virginia, friday for a v.i.p. reception and fundraiser there. it comes as trump tries to convince republicans he can stay on message and away from controversy. last night in a noticeably muted speech, trump said he would make the party proud of him. a home invasion and then a rape. >> it was a crime that shocked a d.c. community and now it's ended with a conviction. >> up next, a juror describes what they felt when a key witness took the stand. see that apartment over there that's all boarded up? there's a jeep inside that apartment. it's still in there. how did that happen? i'm pat collins. the story coming up.
