the same level of the u.s. pentagon and white house. but for the second time in four weeks, investigators found a worker inside carrying a gun. police and court records say that thomas pressley had a firearm in his bag, a smith and wesson .9 millimeter capable of being fired by a single hand. homeland security officials confirmed the arrest and said there was no evidence that the employee sought to do harm. this comes weeks after news4 reported another employee's arrest, a worker who lives in this home. they raided his home and found him at his desk with a ..22 caliber handgun and it was loaded our report in that case got the attention of the u.s. congress. one of the deputies of the u.s.

against donald trump. he did kick off some of the areas in which there has been common ground. of course, the democratic platform committee was meeting secretary clinton and agreed to some of his demands and to an option for education reform. they were also united and slamming donald trump for being divisive and secretary clinton slamming him for what she calls keeping the minimum wage as it is, lowering it instead of raising it. that was some of the heated rhetoric that we saw here today. donald trump took no time, he fired back and accused sanders of selling out and saying that he's part of the rigged system. but the timing is critical for secretary clinton as well. it comes as the latest survey online poll

is narrowing but only by three points. today, a major step forward in terms of bringing it forward. >> kristen welker, thanks so much. and stay tuned for all of the latest from the presidential race from kristen and the rest of the nbc news political team ahead on "nightly news" right after news4 at 6:00 tonight. donald trump quickly jumped on that and said that sanders has sold out and saying that his campaign would welcome them. the nominee is heading to indiana where we can see him audition a vp pick there. trump says he'll announce his pick by the end of the week and sources are saying that he's narrowed it to four candidates. >>

horrifying because there's this random shots going off and you could really tell it was a battle, a gun battle. so at that point we took cover in the house and waited until everything was over. >> reporter: all of this came as a result of a gunfight between someone in this suv and the police. as it turns out, the gunman in the suv was an armed robber holding five people hostage trying to use them to escape. and when police arrived on the scene, he opened fire. >> when you have officer who is are fired upon and they are not under cover, it's a miracle no one was injured. the officer tvr÷ no idea who th other occupant is in
