lockdown moments after the attack, and come tomorrow, police say everyone with exticate to see more armed officers throughout london. just moments ago, we heard from the prime minister who called this attack an attack on british values. >> any attempts to defeat those values through violence and terror is doomed to failure. tomorrow morning, parliament will meet as normal. we will come together as normal. and londoners and others from around the world who have come here to visit this great city will get up and go about their day as normal. >> they are still trying to pin down a motive. let's put this in a larger context. this attack is coming days after airports here in the u.s. and the uk imposed some new electronic carry-on restrictions from people from certain countries. today also marks one year since the deadly attack in brussels that left 32

wendy, jim, back to you. >> chris, thank you. here in washington, white house press secretary sean spicer says president trump has been briefed on the situation in london. he says the president spoke with prime minister may today. we are, of course, used to a heightened state of security here in the district. the u.s. capitol police released a statement today saying they are constantly maintaining the level of security to balance openness with public safety. ahead in just a few minutes, we're going to sit down with the former chief of that department. and inside the capitol today, the final push is now under way. president trump calling it a big day for health care. >> tomorrow, the house plans to vote on the gop plan to replace obamacare. but that measure's future remains a little bit in doubt. the tally by nbc news finds there could be enough republicans who oppose this measure. president trump says he expects it to move forward, but senate democrats who protested against whathe

now to news 4 transportation reporter who was the first to tell you about and show you the serious up grades under way now at reagan international airport. now we're getting our first look at the plans for a brand-new concourse that's expected to improve our experience. adam has been reporting on this for days and now has new details from reagan national. hey, adam. >> reporter: hey, jim. this is really going to be something. they're calling this project journey. as you mentioned, we're getting our first look at just how expansive a pct

the new north concourse at reagan national. take a look inside. dramatic light-filled spaces that keep in line with the b and c terminals at reagan. >> all the amenities, the space and openness. we're feg to provide in the new concourse, it's going to enhance the passenger's experience. >> while this is a brand-new space, remember, this isn't exactly an expansion. it's a serious upgrade. for the 6,000 daily passengers who now have to board commuter planes in the elements. this puts a roof over their heads and gives the planes dedicated slots. >> the thing that drove us to do this was the fact that in the last three years we have seen a tremendous growth of this airport over 25% of passengers. >> jackpoter, head of the airport's authority, said now is the time to make the situation better. >> we have to make sure we accommodate people who travel in this airport in a comfort environment. >> another huge change, t

will be built between the metro station and the departures and arrivals area. 150,000 new square feet of space. that will put the main hall of reagan behind security, meaning you'll no longer be able to just walk in and hang out here, but it's expected to give those flying way more room to hang out before they board. >> so i want to thank you all for all that you have done. >> at a board meeting today, airport officials all smiles about the $1 billion investment coming here to reagan. and back here now live, as the planes leave tonight, okay, now that secity is going to change and be moved in the main hall here will be closed off to anyone not flying, how is it going to work if you want to pick up or drop someone off here and wait for them at the airport? that part of the story coming up next hour at 6:00. >> all right, thank you, adam. a religious discrimination case involving a virginia mosque is now going before a judge. the islamic center of culpepper

this land just outside of culpepper. today, a federal judge in charlottesville held a pretrial hearing. the justice department and the aclu have filed a discrimination lawsuit against culpepper's board of supervisors. that board had denied the islamic center a sewage permit that was needed to build the mosque. county leaders say their decision was based solely on land use issues. earlier this month, islamic center filed its own lawsuit against the county. survivors of that pulse nightclub shooting in orlando are now suing the employer of the gunman, along with his widow. attorneys say both could have stopped the massacre but didn't. omar mateen worked for g4 s, one of the largest security companies. lawyers for the victims say the company as well as mateen's widow knew he wanted to kill people. the lawsuit claims wrongful death, negligence, and other counts. >> this attack w

preventable because it was predictable. mateen spoke openly to his employer, his co-employers, his units of assignment to his patriot of the country. >> a spokes woman said she couldn't comment without seeing the lawsuit. mateen's widow is in jail. she's pleaded not guilty to charges of aiding and abedding. >> now back to the big story overseas, the terror attack in london that left three people dead, nearly two dozen people injured. >> that attack started when a car began running over people on the famous westminster bridge before it crashed into the gate outside of parliament. investigators say that's when a man jumped out and stabbed a police officer before he was shot and killed. >> as the capitol here in the united states, we are no stranger, of course, to threats against our city, and joining us now with how police here may respond to s

former capitol police chief kim dine. >> thank you for joining us. a couple of questions. first, did it actually -- even though the police officer at the parliament, the security guard was killed, did in some ways the security work there in that regard? in that he did -- the fence did stop him? >> i do not know all the facts, but i have to believe given the left of security they have, that it obviously played some role. >> could have been much worse. how does their security sort of coincide with ours here? what are the similarities? >> well, there are some similarities. there's a huge use of technology there. and we have been improving that in the united states, as you know. vastly over the last ten years. so that's probably the most similar, i think. >> kim, let's talk about technology from the terrorist standpoint or the attacker stand ppt point. low technology. vehicles and a knife used. some pe

terms of finding out what's going on for law enforcement. >> because those are everyday items in everyone's hands. >> absolutely. when i was here last time, we talked about the inauguration and the facthat that's really the big day, the olympics for the capitol police because it only happens every four years. then the other major events are like the super bowl because they happen every year. every single day, the departments that engage in the security type policing have to be vigilant every single day, every mbt of every day. those are the challenges because any type of technology might be used. might be very basic and crude or very complex, but there's not a day that goes by that the departments can't be on basically high alert. >> when you have people on a bridge because we live in open societies, you know, cars can run people over. we see that, that's going to happen. but will the security at parliament because they did

now look and see if they did something wrong here? >> every agency goes through after action analysis after the fact to see what could be done differently or better and this is obviously a tragedy. our hearts go out to them and to that department and the women and men of that agency. but traffic patterns, packages, vehicles, all of those are relevant in this kind of event. >> kim dine, thank you so much for coming in and sharing your perspective and insights. >> thanks for having me. >> good to see you. and off-duty police officer encounters an issue that put his life at risk, as he sat in his car in his own driveway. the quick action by a friend that's the reason he's now sharing his story. >> to say that you're the best friend, came to the aid and saved your life is remarkable. >> peak bloom for cherry blossoms this weekend, everybody. doug is back with a

all right, doug's in the house. boy, is it whipping out there. >> the wind is the big factor here. without the wind, today would really be nice out there. cool, we have plenty of sunshine. >>h.

sunshine without the wind, feels pretty good. as soon as the wind blows upwards of 20 to 30 miles per hour, makes it feel so much colder. look at that shot there. a really nice shot. you can start to see things starting to bloom as you make your way through the next few days. we'll see a lot more of that. 48 degrees, the current temperature. rather breezy at 7:00, temperatures dropping to 36 by 11:00. a cold night tonight. the coldest in about a week here. yes, we're going to get below freezing just about everywhere across our region. 45, leesburg currently. 49 in culpepper. only 43 in hagerstown. with the wind, winds gusting over 25 miles per hour. even 30 miles per hour in some spots. those windchills are in the low 30s to the north. around 40 in the city, but again, if you notice through the buildings or getting out oficide your car, it makes it feel colder. make sure you wear the coat tonight. tonight is probably the last night you need it, maybe tomorrow morning because we'll have a cold start there. then you might be able to put

we need the rain. this is the drought monitor as of today. severe drought for parts of maryland, down through parts of northern virginia. moderate drought for the i-95 corridor. we need to see rain, but it's just not coming. we need 6 to 9 inches of rain, and over the next ten days, we have a half to an inch and a half. not a lot of rain, so we continue to stay very dry. you can't get any rain with a satellite and rad arlike this, completely clear across the region. look at the flow today out of the north, out of canada. you see the lake effect snows that were making their way into parts of pennsylvania. look at the jet stream, way up into canada, way down into the southern portions of the u.s. so that's why we have been on the cold side. and temperatures really reflect that jet stream pattern. 36, chicago. 41, indianapolis. 37 in pittsburgh. only 27 in buffalo, but 60 down towards raleigh. we need some of the warmer air to move our way. itwi

time. overnight tonight, a very cold night. look at the temperatures tomorrow. these aren't the windchills. these are temperatures tomorrow morning. 28, d.c., 26, fredericksburg. 25, leesburg. anything under 28 is considered a hard freeze. that's a big problem for plants you have, anything blooming over the last couple days. could be in dire straits there. cherry blossoms i think should be okay in the city tonight. hopefully they'll survive tonight. once they do, i think we'll be fine. 44 at noon tomorrow. better at noon and even better at 4:00, temperatures around 50. cool, but with less wind tomorrow. look at friday and saturday. even into sunday. high temperature, 76 on saturday. 66 on sunday with a chance of showers late in the day. another chance of showers monday and tuesday. a lot warmer now early next week than we have been over the past couple days. >> all right, like the sound of that. thank you. it's one of the longest escalators in north america, and it's been out of service for years.

>> up next, i don't know if it is. the relief on the way for the thousands of passengers who sometimes had to walk that beast. >> good for the hamstrings. they were accused of stealing 35 guns from a northern virginia store. ahead on news 4, we know where the suspects are. they appeared right here at federal court today. but where are the weapons? we'll tell you what was revealed inside that courtroom, just ahead.

now at 5:30, after two years of construction and about $8 million, the work to replace those aging escalators at the bethesda metro is done. >> but first at 5:30 tonight, nearly three dozen weapons swiped from a local gun shop. we have shown you this

surveillance video. you can see the burglars working in the act there. >> today, those three men accused of targeting several gun stores in northern virginia faced the federal judge. a northern virginia bureau reporter david culver is live outside the u.s. district court in alexandria. do we know what they did with the guns, david? >> reporter: wendy and dan, that was what was most revealing about today's court hearing. inside federal court behind me, a special agent with the atf testified they only recovered one of 35 weapons that were stolen. so that begged the question you may be asking tonight. where are the other 34? this security camera footage, now the primary piece of evidence in a federal case of stolen guns. prosecutors say the masked faces are those of preston holmes, matthew jones, and daniel coral. three suspects and one, two, three separate defense attorneys, all appearing here at the alexandria federal court. since

have been responding to cases of stolen arms. cameras caught these suspects smashing displays, swiping weapons in montgomery county. that was march 9th at united guns in rockville. prosecutors not yet saying if it's connected to the three in northern virginia. march 11th, at the 50 west armory in chantilly, atf agents say holmes, jones and quarrels were, quote, in the store for approximately 45 seconds. during which time, they stole 35 semiautomatic pistols. investigators believe they headed south three day later to fredericksburg. on the same day, prosecutors believe they hits ast tactical but didn't get to the guns because they skeer all firearms in a safe after business hours. agents say they couldn't even get into ssg, so they took off. but it's the vehicle they were in that also helped investigators find them. that u-haul fan right there. the susp

>> i just fear that the people who got the guns, what are they going to do with the guns? >> in fact, the atf believes the suspects sold most of the firearms they had stolen. one of the suspect's friends who wouldn't give me his name tells me he's hesitant to believe the allegations. >> i just hope they're not true. >> in a court affidavit, investigators say they searched the hole right here in alexandria. they searched the one in maryland, one in the district. they still cannot find the missing guns. that's why they believe they were most likely sold. coming up all new at 6:30 tonight, also revealed inside federal court today, the investigators talked about what led them to the suspects, and it was somebody who was connected to the case. we'll walk you through that when we see you in the next hour. >> all right, david culver. thank you. a teenager home for spring break was gunned down in the district. this evening, d.c.'s top cop is hoping someone will come forward to help them find whoever pulled the trigger. someone shot 18-yead

mcallister in a parking lot along banning road in northeast d.c. monday night. it happened at the teen watched a rap video being filmed. police chief called the situation heartbreaking. >> young people ought to be able to come into our community and enjoy themselves without being nervous that a gun is going to be pulled out and someone is going to end up dead. >> mcallister had been home from st. augustine university in north carolina. the chief said it's unclear if she had been the intended target in the shooting. >> there is some relief for metro riders who had to trudge up those broken escalators at the buthis daw station. all those long and aging escalators have now been replaced. mark segraves is life with what riders are doing that was hurting the escalators. mark. >> good evening. i heard you and jim guessing at what the deepest escalators in metro station

you guessed dupont. this is the second deepest, the bethesda metro. i'll give you a second to guess what the deepest is. today, they cut the ribbon on the newest escalator here, and metro's general manager was there to greet the first customer. >> your the first person here in the escalator. congratulations. >> this is great. >> the ribbon cutting on the new escalators couldn't come soon enough for many of the 10,000 people a day who use this station. >> very few people are going to walk all these. certainly our seniors are not going to walk down these. >> the deepest in the western hemisphere. >> nope. >> it can be the phase of the broken escalator. one as long as the bethesda escalator. he said today's ribbon cutting is an important milestone for him. >> very important, because if i have to walk down in the elevator isn't working, i have to walk down. its very difficult. >> he said the time finding an escalato h

>> i turn away and wait for a bus. >> if the escalator is broken? >> yeah, it's too much to walk down or walk up. >> good news this is fixed. >> very good news. >> as for keeping the new escalators in good working condition, metro's general manager said the custom of people standing to the right on the escalator to allow people on the left to walk up actually hurts the escalator. >> we do not promote obviously the walking. these are very sensitive pieces of equipment and you can imagine this one being a rise of almost ten stories how that can impact it. prefer they stand as they move up the escalator. but we also know people will do what they want to do. >> 93, that comment by general manager actually caused a lot of conversation on social media because in fact, metro does promote on its website and in overhead announcements that people should stand to the right and move to the left. now, as for the deepest

wendy. >> i know. wheaton. >> yeah. google. ia googled it. >> we got it from our producer. mark stevens. >> it is wheaton, the deepest in the metro system, but the deepest in the world, you're actually taking a look at it right now in this split screen. that's moscow in russia. that's moscow's escalator system. a beautiful escalator lined with artwork. it's more than 400 feet deep. 20 stories more than twice what this escalator is here. coming up at 6:00, we'll tell you why not every escalator at this station was replaced. jim and wendy. >> they're not walking on the left either in moscow. >> also, their coats aren't as heavy. a guy in a t-shirt over there, a white t-shirt. it's warmer than moscow than it is here right now. >> all right. good stuff, mark. we learned something. >> hey, a rare form of cancer linked to a popular cosmetic procedure coming up

breast implant may face a greater risk. and the gender pay gap is shrinking but there's still a lot of work to be done. we'll bake down the numbers and tell you why one group of women may not see equality for another 200 years.

new research shows women

have to wait a long time to get paid the same as a man. some women may not see equal pay in their lifetime. according to the women's policy research, the wage gap in north dakota, utah, louisiana, and wyoming will not close until some time in the next century. and if the current trends continue, florida will be the first state to close that gap. that's not expected to happen until 2038. the study also showed that women will not see equal pay until 2056. black women will have to wait until 2124. and hispanic women would see equal pay in 2248. nationally, women make 80 cents for every dollar earned by a man. researchers say access to better jobs, child care, and paid leave would help close the wage gap. >> now to a news 4 i-team investigation tonight. criminals are running

through neighborhoods and using mailboxes to close the deals. scott mcfarland and the news 4 i-team uncover how innocent homeowners may be at risk. drug deals happening in mailbaxs. the investigation completing for tonight will show a surge of cases of people trying to deal drugs, marijuana included, by mail. the feds have seized packages just since october, according to our investigation. nationwide, they have retrieved nearly 35,000 pounds of marijuana from the mail. federal investigators tell the i-team drug dealers think this is an increasingly safer way to deal. >> i think they view this as safer as far as less of a chance of getting caught because they don't actually have it on them quite as long. >> it's often innocent homeowners who have victims in all this. on

we'll explain why as part of our full investigation of marijuana by mail later tonight. >> we look forward to that tonight at 11:00. >> new tonight at 5:00, though, our consumer team learning more about problems with the web tool that millions of students use to apply for federal financial aid. >> our susan hogan is up next with the new details on what the irs is now calling criminal activity. a prince george's county police officer almost dies inside of his cruiser. he is saved by one of his best friends who just happens to be an emt. i'm tracee wilkins. ,oming up

it's one of those incidents that make you wonder, what if? a local police officer was overcome by carbon monoxide while sitting in his own cruiser. as our prince george's bureau county chief tracee wilkins reports, he survived thanks to a firefighter and good friend who realized something was terribly wrong. >> congratulations. >> emt phil martin was honored today for saving a life that just so happened it was his best friend's life. >> when you're 7 years old, we were both members of the police, and been friends ever since then. >> they both became volunteers for the fire department. the officer is also a prince george's county police officer.

talking. >> i think when you talk to someone every day, every single day, no matter what for years, and then something odd happens, like i don't believe in just writing it off. >> all i remember that night is being on the phone, and i just remember feeling kind of dizzy and nauseous. >> i noticed that he started to kind of mumble about subjects that were kind of irrelevant, stuff that i was unfamiliar with. >> he was suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning while sitting in his cruiser. his best friend followed his instincts, called 911 and drove to his home. >> i went to his house, found his unresponsive. inhe helped save his friend's life, and today he received an award. what he really receive that day can't fit in a frail. >> to say that you're a best friend, came to your aid and saved your life, it's remarkable. and you know, i will be forever grateful to him. >> this is the old

there are still a few of them left, but the department is quickly transitioning to this new vehicle. it was a call like this one that had the carbon monoxide issue. coming up on news 4, what the department is doing to make sure they don't have that problem with the rest of their fleet. i'm tracee wilkins, news 4. >> and only on news 4, we have new developments in a story we first brought you yesterday. our consumer team told us how the irs had removed a vital online link for college aid, impacting millions of students. today, we now know why. let's get right to susan hogan with details for us. susan. >> that's right. today, we have learned this key tool was taken down by the irs as the result of criminal activity. congressman lloyd doggett from texas confirmed the information to news 4 right after he spoke directly to the irs commissioner about this issue. here's what we know. without warning, march 3rd, the irs removed the data retrieval tool link

application for federal student aid's website, also known as fafsa. the data retrieval tool allows student to automatically download their tax return information, including their parents'. the irs called this a precautionary step, following concerns that information from that tool could be potentially misused by identity thieves. the irs told us it saws things that were suspicious but would not say exactly what that means nor would they confirm it was an actual breach. they believe it's relatively isolated. meantime, financial aid experts say getting this tool back up and running is vital to millions of students who are depending on federal financial aid. this will affect anybody who completes a fafsa, even though returning students because you have to fill out a fafsa every single year. so of course, it will affect them. now, while the irs won't say what specific criminal activity

several leaders of the senate and house committees requested a briefing from the department of education on this outage. congressman doggett is also filing legislation to streamline this entire application process. the legislation would also insure that data retrieval tool remains accessible to all students. jim. >> great follow-up. good new information there, susan, thank you so much. >> the food and drug administration is now confirming a link between a rare form of blood cancer and some breast implants. they made that announcement after receiving reports of nine dengts and more than 350 cases confirming the link. the cancer is a rare type of non-hodgkin's lymphoma. it can take ten years to develop after implant surgery and is more common in women who had implants with textures rather than smooth surfaces. infda says it's not sure why texture is associated with a higher risk.

tidal basin staying just above the critical temperature. little or no damage to the blooms, and the weather on saturday is really going to help to bring those flowers out. so if you're picking a day to head down to the tidal basin, i would use saturday afternoon or sunday morning. later in the day on sunday, may be rain. cooler air moving into the area, trees, grasses, leaves, and mold spores coming in late. we'll see the allergens rise as we head into the weekend. on friday, we may be an isolated shower, especially during the morning and day hours. but for most of us, a complete lay dry day. high in the low 60s. breezy for your friday afternoon. the weekend overall looking really nice. mid 70s on saturday. mid 60s on sunday. and then some rain potentially later in the day on sunday, but at this point, much needed rain. we'll take whatever we can get. >> bring on saturday. thanks. >> 76. wow. >> this is our favorite story this time of year. >> hard work, it does pay

school students. >> the surprise awaiting them at their schools around the city. >> at donebar high school in washington today, a surprise like no other. a surprise that could give one young man an opportunity to last a lifetime. we show you the very moment the good news came.

reclaim your turf. a huge relief today. ten of d.c.'s best students learn they will not only get to go to a top college. they're going to go for free. >> best part of all, it was all a surprise today. kristen wright is in northwest d.c. with the big reveal. >> the bewilderment of surprise. loved ones secretly waiting in the wings at dunbar high school in d.c. >> something big was about to happen. i just didn't know what it was. >> with quiet confidence, michael isn't usually the center of
