knocked out her front porch light. she tells me it happened last night when there was a deadly exchange of gunfire between police and an armed man right across the street. >> i wish that the shootings would stop and people put their guns down. >> reporter: in this video posted on twitter, you can see some of what unfolded on holbrook street in the trinidad neighborhood last night. we're not showing the entire video because of its graphic nature. in the portion we are not showing, you hear shots. you see the suspect on the ground and an officer fall. police say the video only shows a small part of what happened. >> i'm hopeful that anyone who's looking at one small piece of evidence doesn't draw any conclusions. >> reporter: this man says he's a relative of the suspect who was killed. he doesn't want to be identified. >> i want to see justice. i mean, i want them to thorou thorohl

happened, why he was shot. >> reporter: the shooting happened around 10:40 at night. police responding to an earlier report of shots fired. that's when they tried to stop the suspect identified as 47-year-old timothy williams of no fixed address. there's a struggle, then an exchange of gunfire with the suspect. the suspect is shot and killed. two officers are also shot, both are expected to be okay. police released this photo of the suspect's gun. police who responded did activate their body worn cameras. that footage is being reviewed as part of the investigation. >> all we heard is bam, bam, bam. it's not even safe to really bring your children and just let them play. >> reporter: now a bit of good news released today. one of those two officers who was shot and wounded has been released from the hospital. that second officer also expected to make a full

recovery. >> all this unfolded in trinidad, a neighborhood that's seen a turn around in recent years. it was a dangerous place in the '70s and '80s, known for drugs and violence. in 2008 police set up a controversial checkpoint here after a series of shootings that included the death of a 13-year-old boy. drivers were required to show id to get into and out of the neighborhood. today there are signs of new development, crime has gone down and some consider this a hot housing market just north of the busy h street corridor. to politics and something of a victory lap for president trump. his speech at the conservative political action conference today revived what might be called his greatest hits on the campaign trail. >> i want you all to know that we are fighting the fake news, fake, phony, fake. take a look at some of these polls. they're so bad, so inaccurate. so we're all part of this very historic movement, a

world has never seen before. we're taking swift and strong action to secure the southern border of the united states and to begin the construction of a great, great border wall. >> today we also got our first look at a draft republican plan that would replace obamacare. tonight we have team coverage of the cpac. tracee wilkins has the protests outside. we begin with tracie potts covering the action inside today. she's at national harbor. >> reporter: you were talking about healthcare. we did get a closer look at what republicans want to do, what they're trying to do with healthcare. it's something the president brought up here on stage today as he laid out his agenda before a friendly audience. >> now you finally have a president, finally. >> reporter: the nation's most

embracing president trump. >> usa, usa, usa! >> reporter: this is cpac, the conservative political action conference. candidate trump skipped it last year. today he owned it. >> we are a nation that put and will put its own citizens first. >> reporter: he rallied against fake news, promised to fix immigration. >> we're going to build a wall. don't worry about it. we're building the wall. >> reporter: strengthen the military. >> nobody's going to mess with us, folks. >> reporter: and replace obamacare. >> we're going the make it less expensive. >> reporter: today the first detailed look at how, a draft republican plan that gets rid of the requirement to buy insurance, dismantles low income subsidies and taxes, rolls back medicaid and pays for it all by limiting tax breaks that most workers get for employer health plans. it's nowhere near final by lt

feisty town hall meetings. >> we want obamacare repealed. >> reporter: the president lashed out at the fbi on twitter today about leaks inside the agency after reports his chief of staff asked the fbi to knock down a story connecting trump aides to russian intelligence. the fbi says the story is over blown. the white house getting invol s involved, unusual, but no rules were broken. so back live at cpac, they're. wrapping it up in this room, the conference ending this weekend. the democrats in atlanta this weekend have something really important to do. they're electing their new chair. both supporters and critics of president trump gathered outside that conference hall today and what started with two different demonstrations turned into an interesting dialogue between

tracee wilkins continues our team coverage from national harbor. >> reporter: some spectators gathered to watch president trump as he lands at the conservative political action conference at national harbor. >> it's exciting. that's why i think everyone's gathered here to see what's going on. >> reporter: meanwhile down the street security was tight as police prepared for massive demonstrations. >> no hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here! >> reporter: what they got were a few dozen people representing different social and political interests. >> we deserve healthcare not just for the privileged few but for everyone. >> we're going things to protect from a toxic trump administration. >> reporter: some conservatives attending the conference confronted the protesters. and most unexpectedly what broke out was a dialogue. >> i'm not a politician. >> reporter: both sides discussed healthcare. >> the middle class is being hurt the most by this. >> reporter: race. >> america has been great. >> for you. >> reporter: and imat

>> she wants so say that we need to care for immigrants. who doesn't? we want that. we agree on that. >> you know what countries are banned in the immigration ban? >> yes. >> what? >> iraq. >> reporter: soon the large group of demonstrators turned into multiple breakout sessions with the other side. >> i think it's good dialogue. it helps us understand some of their views. >> reporter: at the end of the day, the country's political divides weren't mended but liberals and conservatives chose civility. >> i think everyone general whenly lowhen -- genuinely loves the country. >> reporter: the conference ends tomorrow. metro tonight is taking legal action to keep bus and train operators from fatigue. the agency filed suit in

district court today. they want to change the current union over time agreement to institute a new anti-fatigue policy. that policy would prevent employees from working more than six consecutive days. the current union contract pays workers double time for working a seventh day. last year arbitrators said metro had to honor the union agreement despite concerns about fatigue. a dramatic takedown involving a man charged in a gang related murder in prince william county. police say that the suspect samuel sanchez was holed up in a moment room in the poconos. he was bitten by a police canine and then taken into custody. sanchez and five others are accused in the murder of christian sosa rivas. 11 years in prison, that is the sentence for

from woodbridge who is convicted of attempting to provide material support to isis. he was caught during an fbi string last year. investigators say he was conspireing with a friend to travel to syria to fight with the islamic state. he was arrested last january after he drove his friend to the airport in richmond. a spring allergy season seems to have arrived early this year thanks to all this mild weather. one allergist we talked to is seeing an uptick in allergy sufferers. chris gordon is in bethesda with what you can do. >> reporter: this is bethesda. as you can see, people are still playing on the basketball court even after sunset because it's been such a warm day. the park is rimmed by trees. that's causing a bit of a problem. the combinatiof

problems for some allergy sufferers. if you have allergies, this week's warm and sunny weather may have brought on your symptoms. >> kind of like watery eyes. that's a little bit different for me. other than that, the slight stuffy nose. >> reporter: it feels like spring arrived early. people wanted to get outdoors. it was a day for flip-flops and all kinds of alternative winter wear. the wilson family's 4-year-old did his best impersonation of news4's doug kammerer. >> our weather is, um, um, warm. >> reporter: but the warm weather has caused many trees to bud early. that creates pollen. >> i got a sick stuffy head, run any nose. i never really get headaches but lately kind of getting headaches. >> reporter: dr. ready says a lot of patients can allergies

the flu. i asked how to tell the difference. >> the temperature. a temperature of more than 101 is definitely a flu. whereas temperature of 99 is more of allergies. >> reporter: he suggests before going to the doctor you should first try over the counter nasal sprays and anti-histamines. if they don't work and give you relief, then you need to see your doctor. >> then they have to get allergy testing done and then the allergy shots. that's the next step. >> reporter: rain and cooling temperatures over the next couple of days could also bring some relief to allergy sufferers. >> chris, didn't i see those kids behind you asking you to shoot some hoops with them? >> reporter: no. they'd like you to school them. >> they know better than that. so in spite of the allergies

this was an absolutely stupendously gorgeous day, wouldn't you agree? but doug, what i understand, if chris can't go, those kids playing behind him would like you to come on down and shoot a little something with them. can you handle that? >> you know i can. i'm ready to go. temperature-wise, you can play outdoors because those numbers into the 70s. yes that has spawned quite a bit in the way of allergies across our region today. actually the official report from one of the centers here locally said trees have had an explosion of pollen over the last couple of days. take a look at the numbers. tree pollen way high across our region. that's the big thing here. it will continue to be right on through the day tomorrow. now, grass, weeds, mold all on the low side. we will get a little bit of relief tomorrow. take a look at these high temperatures today. 76 in d.c., just two degrees shy of a record. 77 in

yet another week where questions about russia bedevilled the white house. the big question tonight is whether president trump's administration tried to influence the fbi. >> meet the press moderator and nbc news political director chuck todd joins us with some analysis. here we are again with yet another, it's a new controversy every week. >> the question was who contacted who and, yes, it is on public affairs issues there is a carveout there that a white house can talk to the fbi about stuff that has been released. and that is sort of how the white house is defending its actions here. and the fbi says that the white house didn't do anything inappropriate on their end either. but the fact of the matter is obviously the white house was not happy about the "new york

fbi sources say that there was a lot of contacts, constant contacts of members close to trump and russian intelligence officials. now we have confirmed a different version of that story. it's similar but not quite. we don't say constant contacts, it was people associated with the trip campaign with contact with russian officials, not necessarily intelligence or not. but nuances aside, the fact that there was this out reach to the fbi, you suddenly start thinking nixon. this is a precarious path for the white house to go down. you're better off basically letting the chips fall where they may and staying out of it. that's when congress will start getting involved. >> at cpac today we had -- it's clear that the president has no love for the media, at least the media that we represent. let's listen to some of what he said today. >> i want you all to know that

a few days ago i called the fake news the enemy of the people and they are. they are the enemy of the people. >> and then after that, cnn, "new york times," others barred from a off camera white house briefing. this is dangerous stuff. >> we all believe fake news, actual fake news is an enemy of the state. that is bad. let's set that aside. let's be clear. he is right. now the definition of fake news is different for different people apparently. look, i think people should be aware of a pattern here. the white house and the president ramp up attacks in the media always when there is a story involving the issue of russian interference in the election. they ramp it up even harder when there is a story that doesn't make the white house look good. i don't think you can separate those two issues per se. that's been the driving force here. you also need to remember something else. the

steve bannon addressed that same group yesterday. he outlined the strategy of the media is the opposition. this is a tactic that he wants to pursue. this is a tactic that he is pushing the president to pursue. obviously it's been good for the base and it fires up his supporters. the problem with this is that his supporters don't make up a majority of the country. his supporters are somewhere between 35 and 40%. when you do this, you do selective censorship, which is what they did today. there are folks in the middle who are going to say maybe the media makes me mad sometimes too, but can't you stand the heat? what are you afraid of? are you hiding something? and common sense will start to kick in. this may feel good in the moment but over time it could hurt them. the unintended consequence here is if the entire republican party decides to take the steve bannon strategy and implement it

democracy. that the dangerous unintended consequence of this. i get what the short-term politics are about but willing this linger and continue is very bad. >> you talk about the entire republican party. president trump got a hero's welcome at that cpac meeting today from people who didn't necessarily support him throughout the campaign. >> i don't think you can assume that the folks that were there this year were the same folks there last year. this was a trump pep rally. last year it was ted cruz's conservative function. those are different walks. the trump skeptics that voted for trump weren't in that room. that is the slice of voter that i think he needs to start worrying about, are the people who voted for him who didn't like clintoclinton. the more he doesn't reach out to those folks, he can buy some political problems. >> cpac today, dnc this

they select a new chair. >> look, we're going to have the new chair, whoever it is. it looks like tom perez or keith ellison. we're going to talk to tom cotton, arkansas republican senator. he's faced the town halls. he's somebody that would like to have a healthcare plan that he can start pushing back on. they've been out there sort of almost politically naked without anything to defend. and then we're going to talk to the governor of colorado, a democrat that a lot of people out here in washington are think maybe that's where the party should head in 2020 and beyond. i'm curious to see what he thinks where the party should head. >> thanks, chuck.

saturday and sunday, though, completely different. that's what the change is that we're watching. it all comes from the west. we've got a strong line of thunderstorms right now. could be some severe weather in towards the ohio valley. behind this, we've got snow back here towards iowa. upwards of eight inches of snow has fallen. that system is moving our way and it will bring a chance for storms. warm weather ahead of it, cold weather behind it. we're warm again early fotomorr and then we see the storms come through. with the front itself, by noon along the blue ridge, watch what happens around 2:00 in the afternoon in the metro area and around the chesapeake by 4:00. the rain will last about a half hour at the most. behind this, boy, do we get cold and windy. it will feel about 30 degrees colder by tomorrow evening. 50 degrees

>> a lot of families have become accustom unfortunately to dealing with discord and dysfunction. >> reporter: she says county resources such as the family justice center are available. churches and other institutions are there too. but the key is recognizing the signs, the tension and the danger dangers. >> we're going to have to intervene not only for ourselves but for those we love. >> reporter: angelique chase is being held without bond. she's expected to be in court for a bond review hearing monday afternoon. graffiti similar to the vandalism on the national mall has popped up in boston. u.s. park police are now trying to determine whether those crimes are connected. take a look at the message somebody scribbled in boston. it's been seen there on a mailbox and a utility poll. just as the graffiti in d.c., it's written in black permanent

phrase jackie shot jfk. the message appears to reference one or more conspiracy theoriet. the lincoln memorial, the washington monument, the world war ii memorial and the d.c. war memorial were all defaced over presidents day weekend. the vandalism here required a major cleanup effort. the women's march the day after the inauguration is creating new momentum for female candidates in our area and across the country. for one political newcomer in northern virginia it has meant a surge of campaign volunteers. julie carey reports she's not the only one seeing a renewed interest in women and politics. >> reporter: you might be able to tell this campaign office just opened up a few days ago. it's were 38-year-old carrie delaney will make her first run at public office. her decision to run came before there was a president trump, before the women's march.

factor in her decision. just 19% of virginia's legislators are women. >> it's that important that we have women represented, that we have mothers represented. we do bring a unique voice. >> reporter: in the wake of the women's march, her campaign has seen an unexpected momentum. >> people are looking for ways to get involved that i don't think we've seen in a very long time. >> reporter: the man delaney hopes to challenge tells news4 both parties from sought nmore diversity in candidates. that's what this session was all about today at northern virginia community college. it's a training session called elect her staged at campuses across the country. these student government leaders provided some of the advice, the aim to encourage and empower women to consider elective office.

time to time. i said i've been on thousands of flights. i've never had it happen on a domestic flight before or an international flight. >> a homeland security spokesperson says the agency was looking for a specific person. a judge had recently ordered that person removed from the country. the spokesperson says it turned out the individual was not on that flight. next up, a fresh start for a local school shut down for weeks after a bedbug and rodent problem. you see them at the national zoo but some people in arlington county are allowed to own exotic pets. but that could soon change. here kitty, kitty. out there right now, tracking a line of thunderstorms not in our area yet. but this is tomorrow afrnoon.te

how's this for a resume? he played football and baseball at the university of maryland, but he's the only person who play for both the washington redskins and the washington senators. and he is the first person to play in a major league baseball game and a super bowl. >> wow. >> in fact, he played on the legendary green bay packers team that won three championships under coach vince lombardi. but as mark segraves reports, that is not what tom brown considers his greatest sports a co accomplishment. >> reporter: at 78 years old tom brown is spending his retirement years in his adopted hometown of salisbury, maryland, where he hopes he's built a legacy that will last for years. he grew up in silver spring and played at the university of maryland. in 1963 he was drafted by football hall of fame coach vince lombardi and the green bay

>> i got drafted by green bay and i went to see them play the in yankee stadium against the new york giants for the championship game and it was a miserable day, a cold, miserable day. these guys were much bigger than i was used to playing with. >> reporter: after watching the packers play, brown told lombardi no. >> i said i think i'm going to play baseball. >> reporter: it was a combination of the cuban missile crisis and president john kennedy that helped him make the starting line-up on opening day. >> so castro would not let any of the cuban baseball players play american baseball. the senators did not have a first baseman at the time. john kennedy was the president and he -- i'm sure he jokingly said, i'll come to the first game if you start that boy from

maryland. >> reporter: brown admits he didn't have a great year in the majors. but when lombardi called him again offering him another chance at pro football, he again said no. >> he called me back and said, you know, if you don't play this year, we're not going to be interested in you. >> reporter: in 1964 brown started his second season with the senators, this time back down in the minors. in july he signed with the packers. two years later, brown and the packers won their first of three straight championships, including super bowls i and ii. he became the first person who play major league baseball and then win a super bowl. it was in 1956 where brown made one of his biggest plays ever, a game winning interception of dallas cowboys quarterback don meredith. >> he was just about ready to be tackled. he threw the ball up for grabs. you could have caught it. >> reporter: the next year brown and e

again, this time in the infamous ice bowl. >> windy and cold and the fields were frozen. but you had to play. that was the great thing about lombardi, he had us ready to play no matter what the climate, no matter what happened during the game, you'd play the game and you don't get upset about it. >> reporter: lombardi would leave green bay for washington and brown followed, returning to his hometown and becoming the only person the to play for both the probaseball and football teams in washington. while tom brown acknowledges that he has a great sports legacy to look back on, he says it's not his work that he did in washington, d.c. or green bay that he's most proud of. it's what he did here in salisbury, maryland, that he hopes will last forever. >> everybody has a niche and my niche was being able to communicate with young children about sports. so i did baseball, flag

what i wanted to do, i wanted these kids to have fun. >> reporter: brown started a youth sports league in montgomery county in the '70s before moving to salisbury in the '80s where he started the tom brown rookie league, which he ran up until last year. his daughter jessie has taken over the league. brown had one more accomplishment he's proud of. while he left the university of maryland before his senior year, he went back between winning super bowls in green bay and finished his degree. in salisbury marylanmaryland, m segraves, news4. >> great story. >> despite playing for two d.c. teams, brown says he's a green bay fan and an orioles fan. his salary as a senator was $6,000 a year. and the most he ever made with green bay is $12,000 a year. remember back in the day all those guys had two jobs.

for playing with the packers was more than his entire salary. we have more on his remarkable career and how you can help his rookie league on the nbc washington app. search tom brown. can i say one more thing? how many guys ever turn down vince lombardi twice? twice. >> and how glad is he that he finally said yes? >> yeah. we saw his rings on the table there. remarkable story. way to go, mr. brown. >> that is so cool. >> are we going to be able to work on our tan again tomorrow? >> i was doing -- no. you know, you can early in the day. jim handly was here earlier saying he had a 3:00 tennis game tomorrow. he switched it now to 11:00. if you have plans tomorrow afternoon, you might want to switch them to morning too. we're going to see a big change come through right around that time

take a look out there right now. a beautiful night. it really is gorgeous. temperatures are not going to go down all that much. we have a pretty strong southerly wind. centerville coming in at 70 degrees. 71 along the capitol. very warm. no rain to talk about. this is just ground clutter here. not showing up as far as rainfall goes. 80 in charleston, west virginia. that was a record for sure. look at all the orange. tho those were temperatures close to 80 degrees today. the weather could not get much better if you like it nice and warm. now if you want it a little bit colder, your allergy sufferers, you might want it a little bit colder here. we've got a cold front.

pressure moving through the great lakes. severe thunderstorms to the east, snow to the west and much colder air is going to be moving in tomorrow. the storm impacts tomorrow. no real big severe weather threat. but we could see some high winds gusting upwards of 40, maybe 50 miles per hour. in the city, 7:00 a.m., no problem. 11:00, still dry as handly is taking on whoever he's taking on out there in tennis. by 2:00 i expect it in the d.c. metro area. to the west, it will be a little bit earlier. to the east, a little bit later, around 4:00 along the chesapeake. behind this, windy and colder, temperature around 53 degrees. it's going to be a cold night tomorrow night. a couple of the ski resorts are closed part of the weekend. so check the websites. exercise, nice early in the morning. yard work, yeah, the last freeze is around march 30th normally in the d.c. metro area. jacket on sunday. yard work, you don't need

50 degrees on sunday. a little bit warmer tuesday and wednesday with more shower activity. a little unsettled next week but you could see a couple of cooler days along with the warmer days. i've played handly. he's really good. >> handly is hot these days from what i'm told. we got sports coming up. the wizards back on the court after the all star break and that means the debut of
