that breaking news takes us to ohio. a mass shooting at a cincinnati nightclub. dozens wounded, at least one dead. what police in ohio are uncovering about the latest case of devastating violence. >> how you going to kill a little boy? i grew up with him. that's messed up. a teenager taken too soon. friends mourn the loss as prince george's county police try to track down his killer. and on the positive side of things, it's one of the best sights all year. thousands heading to the cherry

but we start with that breaking news out of ohio, where more than a dozen people have been shot at a nightclub in cincinnati. police say at least one person has died. 14 others are now at local hospitals. some do have life-threatening injuries. cincinnati police say there is absolutely no indication the shooting is terrorism related. they won't comment on a motive at this point but say at least a couple of shooters are involved. as soon as we get new information, we'll let you know. >> and that new information has been coming in. even in the last 30 seconds. we're going to continue to update you throughout the morning. we want to welcome you in on this sunday morning. the 26th of march, 2017. adam tuss has the morning off. i'm david culver. >> can you believe it? the month is almost over. i'm molette green in for angie goff this morning. definite change in the air this morning. i was so

comfortable sleeping last night? i did not. >> if you were out yesterday, you know it was beautiful. tom kierein is in the storm team 4 weather center, tracking milder and perhaps cooler temperatures this morning. >> yeah, march is a moody month. we're back down into the chill again this morning. temperatures have plummeted since yesterday afternoon. we're all the way down into the 40s to just near 50 degrees predawn on this sunday. there's the live view from the storm team 4 city camera. there's the washington monument, jefferson memorial, the tidal bay son ringed by those beautiful cherry blossoms that are in full bloom right now. right there at the mall and downtown, it's hovering near 50 degrees. upper 40s around the bay. mid-40s north and east of us. that cool air coming in on a northeasterly breeze. don't have any rain here now. a look at our rain chances though as we get into the rest of the day and the coming week in a few minutes. >> tom, we are going to check in with

that developing story now out of landover, where somebody shot a 15-year-old boy. the teen did not survive. this happened around 9:40 last night at columbus place. prince george's police say they have now recovered a handgun from the scene. neighbors and friends say they're wondering why this happened. >> he was always nice, like a little brother. i don't see what he could have did to anyone. >> police are still trying to figure out who the suspect in this case might be. they're also trying to figure out a motive in this crime. people have returned to the heart of the las vegas strip after a deadly shooting on a double decker bus. the suspected gunman is now in custody. one person died and another person was hurt during the shooting that broke out around 11:00 yesterday morning. witnesses tell police the man was on the second floor in the back of the bus, just started to shoot at passengers. the

after a more than four-hour standoff. police say the man has mental health issues and they don't think this was terrorism related. also developing this morning, the pentagon says a senior al qaeda leader has been killed. he was killed in an air strike in afghanistan earlier this month. he's responsible for a deadly hotel attack in islamabad back in 2008 and an attack on a bus carrying the sri lankan cricket team in 2009. u.s. officials are acknowledging it was behind an air strike on the iraqi city of mosul targeting isis militants. witnesses say at least 100 people were killed. u.s. officials did not confirm reports of civilian casualties but did open an investigation. the statements issued by the u.s.-led coalition said the air strike had been requested by iraqi security forces to target isis fighters and equipment. and back here closer to home, while president trump is ready to move on to his next gi

his first legislative loss to replace the affordable care act is still fresh on his mind. nbc's chris pollone has the details. >> reporter: in huntington beach, california, saturday, supporters and opponents of donald trump clashed during competing demonstrations. a symbol of the gulf dividing the country's people and political leaders. >> thank you very much. >> reporter: a day after the president said he's moving on. >> big tax cuts and tax reform, that'll be next. >> reporter: it's clear trump's still thinking about his first big legislative loss, predicting in a tweet saturday morning that obamacare will explode and assuring constituents do not worry. >> our vice president michael pence. >> reporter: mike pence took the administration's message to a friendly crowd of small business owners in west virginia, a state trump carried by more than 40 points. >> they told me how obamacare stand in the way and stifles growth. it's a burden not just to job creators. it's also a burden to the

folks, i frankly -- i wasn't surprised to hear it because every promise of obamacare has been broken. >> reporter: despite have been a more than 40-vote republican majority in the house, the administration is pointing the finger at democrats for friday's defeat. >> with 100% of house democrats, every single one, and a handful of republicans actually standing in the way of president trump's plan to repeal and replace obamacare, we're back to the drawing board. >> reporter: senator bernie sanders among those happy to claim victory. >> we should be proud as a people that we defeated that proposal. it makes me a little bit nervous that the president of the united states is apparently working and hoping that a major federal plan will fail. and i hope that he doesn't sabotage it. >> reporter: the question now, what's next? democrats admit obamacare needs to be improved. will the administration take another crack at it, or will the president look for his first legislative win somewhere else? chris pollone,

york. >> and health care certainly going to be a big topic on this week's "meet the press." chuck todd will have an exclusive with that man right there, california governor jerry brown. he's also going to speak with virginia senator mark warner. chuck will join us for a live preview a few minutes from now. 6:07 your time now on this sunday. i don't know if you had a chance to check out the cherry blossoms. beautiful yesterday, for sure. they're in peak block this weekend. timing couldn't be better either. >> absolutely. but you might want to grab a coat if you plan to head down to the tidal basin today. different story yesterday, where people just flocked to the cherry trees near the national mall to see them in bloom. temperatures soared into the 70s during the afternoon. while the earlier cold weather hurt some of the blossoms, there were still plenty to see and photograph. >> we're used to the cherry blossoms have been more pop, more appeal. typically the crowds are larger, but we're still

time. >> there is still more celebration time for this year's cherry blossoms. the national cherry blossom festival is run through april 16th. >> got to get out there when the crowds quiet down just a bit. all right. let's take you out for a live look right now as we are starting off this sunday with milder temperatures than yesterday. that warmth, no longer. tom is tracking the cooler temperatures and keeping an eye on sunday rain showers. then our taste of the future coming to a brief stop. the incident that's got uber rethinking its use of driverless cars.

it seems for now driverless cars are on hold for uber. the company's suspending its pilot program after a crash. the company says one of its vehicles equipped with the driverless technology got into an accident yesterday

arizona. no one got hurt. but uber says it wants to see what happens with the crash investigation before it restarts the program. >> they're going to tweak it. we're going to get there. >> i think it's inevitable at this point. >> absolutely. moody march. that was the term tom used to describe our weather. i think that's so perfect. >> a lot of people want to put march mibehind, move to spring. a taste of it yesterday. not so much today. >> it was a battle yesterday between some cold air just to the north and very warm air to our south. we got near 80 degrees in central virginia. we were in the 70s around here, much of the region. as we take a look around our area, we do have some low clouds hovering over the metro area. reflecting the city lights predawn here on this sunday. low clouds all around the region, holding in the chill that came in overnight. cambridge only in the mid-60s. baltimore, 46. reagan national now at 50. hovering near 50 in mos

northern virginia. somewhat milder air farther to the south in central virginia. the clouds aren't producing any sprinkles or drizzle the radar is picking up right now. however, going forward into the afternoon, these speckles of green, these are patches of maybe a few sprinkles, a little drizzle during the afternoon and evening hours. an area of rain coming in from the west. it's going to be 9:00 to 10:00, 11:00 this evening. for the morning commute tomorrow, we may have damp pavement from a few passing sprinkles and a little bit of light rain. we'll dry out by monday afternoon with sunshine breaking out, and temperatures will jump back up. for today, we'll stay cool, a little breezier through the morning. midday, afternoon temperatures reaching mid-50s. maybe right downtown, upper 50s. chance of a sprinkle this evening and into tomorrow morning. for the monday morning commute, damp pavement around. we'll be in the low 50s. then some sun returns on monday afternoon. look at moody march. right back up into the mid-70s onon

tuesday. a lot of clouds around, occasional rain showers throughout the day on tuesday. maybe a few thunderstorms in the afternoon. then we dry out wednesday and thursday. a good chance of some moderate to heavy rain next friday. then we dry out the following weekend. next saturday and sunday, highs near 60. that's the way it looks. >> we'll ditch the coat tomorrow. >> i'm liking that. 70s monday and tuesday. tom, thank you. meantime, "reporters notebook" is next. >> we're back in 15 minutes. good morning. i'm pat lawson-muse. we begin this morning with the reported rape of a 14-year-old at rockville high school. it's generated national headlines and stirred the emotional immigration debate and prompted threats against the school. two suspects, a 17-year-old and 18-year-old, are charged in the case of the 18-year-old, we know is undocumented and has a pending immigration case for failing to appear before a judge. the 17-year-old's status is not being discussed because he's

documentation. tracee wilkins and david mcconnell are with us this morning. thanks so much for being with us. what are your thoughts about the police response to the threats and school's response to what happened? >> well, first of all, mon montgomery county police have to take any threats seriously. if you have folks now threatening rockville high school, of course the police department has to step in and do its due diligence. their response has been completely appropriate. in terms of what the superintendent has been saying there b about these students and not knowing their status, that is absolutely the way this goes. there are federal laws protecting these children. it is not up to the school system to know the status of these kids when they come in and whether they're documented or undocumented. it is their job to educate them and to put them in the classroom where is they can get the best education possible. i think that in all of this, what's really a school secy

this national argument over immigration. that's a discussion that can be had, but in terms of rockville high school and the montgomery county school system doing its due diligence, it has done that. >> dave, the parents are simply trying to figure out how this happened in the school building during school hours. >> that is the big question. you have to ask yourself what kind of security is actually on the scene, at this school. what kind of procedures do they have, how was the reaccidenttio. how could this have happened and nobody heard about it. there was no guard there. it's a horrible, horrendous thing. it's gotten national headlines. legislators are thinking about this issue and how the law might be affected. >> the white house press secretary called the case an example of why the president is making illegal immigration a priority. you just mentioned that it's gotten caught up in politics, which the school superintendent says he has no intention of letting

this from politics in this atmosphere? >> it's important to remember the statistics. for the number of immigrants in this country, they are responsible for a minute amount of the crime happening in this country. incidents like rape or any criminal activity, there are much higher percentages for folks who are americans causing these kinds of issues. >> and crime is crime. >> crime is crime. so what the montgomery county school system has been trying to do as they deal with this issue is really focus on security. that is what the real issue is here. how was this girl allowed to go into this bathroom and these young men into the bathroom with her without an adult knowing? how were they in there for the amount of time they were in there? to deal with this now, the montgomery county school system are timing kids and

someone find them if they're gone for a long period of time. the idea being that these school systems can't afford the kind of security that one would need to keep b incidents like this from happening. they've got to try to work with the infrastructure that they have. >> and dave, we saw governor hogan speak out on facebook. he accused the school system of withholding information from the state board. what's the response been to that? >> well, they dispute that. the school authorities say they've done everything they had to do. they're a little peeved at governor hogan for raising this charge. yet, there's a question here about obviously when something like this happens in a school, everybody there doing their job, were they doing due diligence, are there places in the school that need to be better policed. so governor hogan was concerned about that. as i see it, there's no resolution to this issue. >> news 4 was in the courtroom in greenbelt when the aclu and other groups representing immigrants

lawsuit, challenging the president's travel ban. we know it's been blocked and that the administration is appealing. maryland, of course, was one of three states challenging that order. tracee, you were in the courtroom. tell us about the arguments inside and the protests outside. >> first of all, let me say i wish i was in the courtroom. i was actually in the overflow downstairs from the courtroom. it was so packed. even the overflow was packed, full of people who are very concerned about this issue and how it could impact the entire country. the legal argument here was that on the government's side, they were saying you have a couple plaintiffs here who you all have included in your lawsuit, folks who have very interesting arguments about how this ban is impacting them. we'll give these people relief, but we ask that this not be made national but just these plaintiffs who are attached to the case. the judge disagreed with that and said this is absolutely a national issue. he also said this is a religious issue. although, the president reshaped his travel ban,

language out of it, and presented what he hoped would then be about the territories and not about religion. the federal court did not buy that. they did not buy that in hawaii either, saying this is absolutely about religion and that it is unconstitutional. of course, president trump is now apeepealing that, and quick, in hopes of getting this done, saying this is about national security. >> dave, the president's lawyers have asked the fourth circuit court of appeals in virginia to speed things up. is there any indication yet that might happen? >> none yet. and you're right. they have asked for that. on the hill, the argument breaks down pretty much between democrats and republicans. republicans think that the administration, many of them, was in the right to do this. democrats say no, it's really a religious ban, it's restrictive, it's not going to work. there is -- both sides, though, do wish for a speedy outcome on this. we'll just have to wait and see.

is going to move any fast e at least as far as i can tell. >> all right. we're going to take a break. stay with us.

it's been a nail biter on capitol hill, where the president hoped to get his health care reform bill -- the republicans' health care reform bill passed. dave, what's it been like watching the sausage making? >> one of the most extraordinary stories i've ever covered. you had the clinton impeachment story. you had the iran contra deal years ago. but we've had these kind of clashes, yet this is the biggest and most monumental ever. this is the nation's health care system. is it going to change radically? is it going to stay as it is? you have an absolute party line

replace, they say. now you have a split on the republican side where the more moderate republicans don't want to go ahead right away and have people lose basic coverage, have insurance costs go up, which is what the government budget office says will happen. the conservatives say, no, we want everything thrown out and we'll start anew. but what are you going to fill in the spaces with? well, they have different ideas. that's the kind of atmosphere that we've had there. >> the president's proposed budget cuts that sent slivehive through the washington region, dealing a potentially severe blow to the city and suburbs. talk about the impact here. >> the first big impact is the cut, if it goes through, on federal workers. a huge cut on the federal work force. after that, you have to look at funding for individual programs. there are programs that help people out of being in poverty situations. there are grants for folks for stuff like that. all that would be cut. there's the purple line. the purple le

trump cuts go through. so you have a number of things that are worrisome to people. also, the chesapeake bay cleanup. that could be stalled. any number of things. national institutes of health. a real double whammy for the washington area in this goes through. but we've had many, many budget proposals like this before. they always get changed in congress. the question now is you do have a republican majority. you have a republican president. and the fear is that this will get a lot farther along -- a lot further along than ever before. >> african-americans in prince george's county for the middle class, this is a very big issue. prince george's county depends on $140 million of federal grants and money. they're looking at the possibility of that money, possibly not all of it, but a large portion of it being cut. then not to mention the

of the federal job cuts and how that impacts the african-american middle class and of course with prince george's county being a predominant african-american county, folks there are on the edge of their seats, waiting to see what's going to happen and what this president is going to be able to pass. some 11% of african-americans work for the federal government. so this is an issue that everybody is going to be paying very close attention to. the belief in prince george's county is this 2008 budget is so good that it may be able to actually take some of the impact since housing values have increased in the county and also job creation. but for these individual households, these are folks who are, you know, real families working to feed their children and take care of their homes. they need that money. they need these jobs. >> dave, in montgomery county, we saw the council pass a resolution opposing this. but what does that do? >> not much. it's pretty soymbolic. but it puts them on record as

opposing this. probably it boosts morale in the county. we've got our local leaders. they're not giving up. they're aiding their congresswomen and senators. the maryland and virginia delegations are generally -- although, some republicans have kind of not given forth so far how they really feel about this, but most of the local delegation is very much against this budget. we'll see how it goes. it's too early to tell, but i think there are a lot of stopgap measures that can be taken between now and final passage that could change the budget and make it much more appealing to the local populous. >> well, the president's proposal to spend more for the military and on homeland security is appealing to a large segment of america. >> well, their jobs would be protected. there would be more money spent. there would be more local revenues raised because there would be more people spending on other things because they still

but it's not clear if the loss from the nonmilitary sector will make up for the infusion of money in the military. we don't know that yet. cases of missing teens in the district have caused growing concern and generated quite a lot of attention on social media. police say social media have helped them spread the word as they try to solve the cases. some people say police should do more. tracee, people are also questioning whether there's a possible link to human trafficking. what are police saying about that? >> police are saying what they're seeing is better reporting from families. because there's better reporting, there's an opportunity for them to use social media to get the word out there faster. for the public, there's this sense that perhaps there's an increase in missing children. the d.c. police department is sticking by the numbers, which are the same. they're not seeing a huge rise. part of the outcry is not just about the actual numbers but the response to it.

there is a national debate and one that has proven to be true time and time again. when there are young african-americans who are missing, it does not get the same media attention or same local attention that it does when there's perhaps a white person who is missing of the same age. social economic background impacting this sometimes as well. in a community meeting held earlier this week in d.c., we saw in the "where are they now" community meeting, folks were saying these were white girls and boys missing, the police department would be up in arms. so it's a great opportunity for there to be kind of a watchdog attitude on what's happening. what the mayor said in that meeting and what the police department is saying that they're seeing kids who are leaving on their own. she says what the issue is here is working within these families to make environments safe for kids, to help with resolution and conflict resolution so we don't have children who are leaving home before they should and putting themselves in very dangerous situations. >> dave? >>

point. african-americans, we don't do big stories. when there's a white person, it catches people by the heart strings. we follow it to its conclusion. so often with an african-american, that's just not the case. we just have to do a better job of reporting. i don't think the conditions that make children leave home have changed that much. it's poverty. it's a bad family situation. those things seem to be unfortunately constant. so we have -- we know that. but again, the fact we don't pay as much attention to everybody that leaves home, i think that's a gap that we've got to fill. >> the thing to remember is that we're talking about juveniles. they need protecting. >> tracee, dave, thank you both. and thank you for being with us. i'm pat lawson muse. stay with us. "news 4 today" continues.

as we come up on 6:30, a chaotic scene inside a cincinnati nightclub. 15 people shot early this morning. at least one of those people, we've learned, has died. police say no indication that this has anything to do with terrorism, but this is something that's very much developing, very much breaking. we'll keep you updated. back here in our area, police trying to figure out who shot and killed a 15-year-old boy in landover. it happened just after 9:30 last night on columbia place. >> if you head outside in the district, you're going to see these, the blossoms in deep bloom. thousands have been flocking to the tidal basin to witness the spring spectacle. yesterday temperatures were in the 70s. today if you're planning to head out there, may want to bring a jacket. things are going to cool down. welcome into "news 4 today" on is sunday morning. i'mid

through crowds of pedestrians on westminister bridge to when he was fatally shot by police near parliament. four people, including a police officer, were killed in the car and knife attack. police believe the attacker acted alone. one person remains in custody in this case. he has not been charged or named. developing out of alabama this morning, four people have died after a small plane fell apart in the sky about 30 miles outside of birmingham. the flight was headed from florida to tennessee. fire officials say two teens and two adults were on board the plane when it crashed. witnesses say they heard loud explosions and saw debris fall from above. the faa and ntsb sending investigators to figure out what happened. a young man from prince george's county went down to miami for a catering job at a jazz festival. he never returned home.

hard worker who loved his family. >> it's a celebration. it's not a mourn. god got him. >> and the last thing he told me was he loved me, and he hugged me and said everything was going to be all right. >> reporter: the family is also collecting money to bring this young man back home and to give him a proper burial. >> father god, we say these prayers and many, many more. amen, amen. >> reporter: in prince george's county, darcy spencer, news 4. we're working to learn more details about a disturbing discovery in the powe ttomac. yesterday a fisherman found a female body floating near the wilson bridge. d.c. police are handling the investigation but have not released an age or identity at this point. covering northern virginia for you this morning, ed gillespie has won a straw poll in fairfax county for the race for the republican nomination

for governor. he took about 56% of the votes saturday. gillespie will face off in a june 13th primary against state senator frank wagner and cory stewart. democrats are taking a not-so-subtle dig at president trump. they introduced the making access records available to lead american government openness act, or mar-a-lago act. mar-a-lago, of course, being the name of the president's florida estate. it would require the trump administration to disclose the names of anyone who visits the white house or any other location where the president or vice president regularly conduct official business. the bill also calls for the creation of publicly available database to be updated every 90 days. >> and it seems folks who live near ivanka trump aren't happy with their new neighbors. they attended a neighborhood commission to complain about the

the home are hogging parking. residents say the family leaves trash bags on the curb for days. trump and her husband, jared kushner, both work for the president. they moved in just after the inauguration. it's not clear if trump is aware of the complaints. in a statement friday, she says that she and her husband love the neighborhood and that her family has been welcomed by their neighbors. we want to clear up some information you may have seen on instagram about missing girls in the district. there was a viral post that claimed 14 girls had gone missing in just 24 hours, but the post is not true. d.c. police tell us there has been no increase in the number of missing persons cases. all that's new is that they have been sharing the information in a new way. head to the nbc washington app and search missing to find out all you need to know about missing person cases in the district. metro has been struggling to find funding, and there are questions about whether a region-wide

the system out. kwor according to a new "washington post," university of maryland poll, marylanders narrowly support a sales tax plan. the post reports that the support is not overwhelming, but it's more popular than other proposed options. an independent panel is expected to issue a report this fall that deals specifically with metro funding. 6:37 on this sunday. she's the first african-american woman to make the u.s. olympic swim team. >> and yesterday marissa mclendon spent time in d.c. getting kids in the pool at howard university. she hosted a free clinic on water safety. why didn't i take advantage of this? kids worked on getting comfortable in the water. they blew bubbles, splashed around, and practiced with the kick board. mcclendon says this is an especially great opportunity for hispanic and african-american children. >> in our communities, you don't hear a lot of us making that step of learning how to swim. our parents are fearful. there's only a 13%

we're here to change that a little bit more. >> absolutely. mcclendon says she hopes some of these kids go on to take swim lessons and join a team and maybe even compete in the olympics. don't be like me. i swim well in three feet only. >> really great program. so they made it all the way to the sweet 16, but that's as sweet as it's going to get for maryland women's basketball. the third-seeded terps defeated by tenth-seeded oregon yesterday. the team did not hit a single three pointer during the entire game. while they had a successful run in the ncaa tournament, there was a feeling of unfinished business after the loss. >> it sucks when you have two amazing people and two amazing players, and you know they deserve so much more. we clawed and fought for them. i wish we would have done more. >> they punched first. i think we never got our footing. every time we punched, they had a counter. i think it's justne

>> a hard-fought battle. the women's tournament is now down to the final four. oregon will face you have against uconn. notre dame against stanford. >> uconn in there. >> tell us how you really feel. >> it's tough. the first half of the final hour set. oregon and gonzaga. it's oregon's first final four appearance since 1939. the rest of the final four will be determined today when north carolina plays kentucky and s.e.c. rivals florida and south carolina face off. >> 1939. great year, i remember. >> all right cloudy and cool. we'll check in with tom. >> and then we want you to meet max and his robot. the impressive technology helping a little boy succeed in the classroom. you don't want to miss this one.

good morning. a dramatic drop in temperatures overnight. we're down in the h40s, just ner 50. storm team 4 radar scanning low clouds, not picking up any sprinkles or drizzle. but there is a chance. if you have plans to get exercise on this sunday, we'll be hovering through mid-50s during the morning. oe a look at rain chances for the week ahead coming up. >> all right, tom. we'll check in with you then. 6:43 your time on this sunday morning. republicans trying to move forward after their big loss on health care this past friday. >> it marks the first legislative defeat for president trump. joining us, as always, moderator of "meet the press" chuck todd. chuck, where do we stand here? the president, you've got speaker ryan. who has suffered the greatest defeat with this? >> i think it's the republican party as a whole.

and replace. that's why they needed to get control of congress. oh, no, we need the house and the senate. they get the house. no, we need the senate and presidency. they got all of it and got nothing. i think it's the party as a whole. some in the white house want to blame paul ryan. some in congress want to blame the white house. they both share this blame. there's no doubt about it. i think ryan did not understand just how recalcitrant this freedom caucus vote was. and the president did not make a lot of effort on this. the shocking thing to me is surrendering so quickly. that something that they -- how many times -- 50 times put a repeal and replace desk on president obama's desk ffor him veto. now they can't get one. i thinit

party. they can blame game each other individually, but it's going to cast a pall on the whole party. >> they're now moving towards tax reform. how does the health care defeat impact that? >> well, first of all, i think this idea -- i know the president wants to move on. i think there's going to be parts of the party that don't. there are going to be elected officials going, wait a minute, we've been making this promise for four straight campaigns for seven years, and that's it, give up, move on. oh, by the way, as if that's going to be any easier, rewriting the entire tax code, health care is one-sixth of the economy. tax reform affects the entire economy and hits everybody on the economic scale. so the idea that that's going to be any easier, i think, is just a fool's errand. >> then we tie in russia in all of this. >> that's the thing. the health care politics are bad enough. the week began with what, a confirmation that the president's being investigated. >> markar

>> he's of course -- he and richard burr are leading the efforts to investigate this on the senate side. this is a presidency that is very hobbled right now and a party, i think, that's directional as they try to figure out how to pick up the pace. >> a lot coming up. can we show the mug you just brought in? >> i don't know what happened. david refuses to let molette have the mug. you have to learn how to share. >> all right. thank you. very nice of you. >> and you're not an only child. >> i wish i was an only child some days. >> i want to know where my 80-degree weather is. >> catch chuck at 10:30 here on nbc 4 right after "news 4 today." thank you so much. all right. a genetic disease robbed a little boy ois

max is here. >> reporter: max is 3 1/2 years old. he was born with spinal muscular atrophy. it's a degenerative disease that makes it difficult for him to move, breathe, and eat. he can't be in a classroom for fear of catching a cold or flu, which for him could be life threatening. >> we thought it was really important for max's cognition to be fully impact, his social intelligence is fully impact. we wanted him to be able to interact with his peers, but we wanted to do so safely. >> reporter: max's mother is a teacher, his father a computer scientist. they won a grant to cover the cost of the beam robot technology. they asked the bender jewish community center in rockville to accept the challenge of having max in class. >> what about you, max? catfish or dog fish? >> reporter: what our role is just to be accepting of ev

children to see max as a child just as they are with the same needs. he's different, and yet he's very much the same. >> reporter: it isn't easy. max is on a ventilator. his mother puts angel arms on max so he can move his hands and participate in activities like coloring for a friend's birthday picture book. >> do you like it? >> reporter: max vocalizes but lacks strength for articulation. his mother understands everything he says. >> what would you like to be when you grow up? >> a teacher? you want to be a teacher? i didn't know that. wow. >> reporter: and what about max's future? well, a cousin wrote a note to the family saying there's a lot of good technology and smart

come up with a way to help max as he gets older. >> i'm glad that he has these teachers as role models. he's looking ahead, imagining himself in the role of teacher. just like any of us, he's not going to let his different abilities get in the way of doing what he is passionate about. >> max, emma's coming to give you a hug. >> reporter: recording from montgomery county, chris gordon, news 4. >> just awesome. >> sweet story right there. all right. tom kierein joining us now on set. a lot of folks who headed out there yesterday loved being able to shed a few layers. it was beautiful. really was. >> now you have to put those layers back on. we've had the chill descend upon us overnight. the wind shifted into the northeast, bringing in a chill from new england all the way here. we had florida weather yesterday. now we got new england weather with us. we've got some low clouds hanging over washington.
