the champs elysee, we first brought you this story first at 4:00, a driver ambushed police officers near a subway station, killing one of them, injuring two others. the shooter was then shot and killed and we just learned from a news conference in paris that a passerby was also hit as well. it's not clear how seriously that person was injured. paris authorities say they are determined to fight terrorism. security was tight at the popular destination for tourists and locals because voting is said to begin in a tense presidential election coming very soon. we'll stay on top of this story and bring you any developments on air and on the nbc washington app. chris lawrence, news4. chris, thank you. developing right now, he teaches and coaches children at a prince george's county elementary school but authorities say he was distributing child pornography. maryland state police arrested christopher spits today. troopers say

his mission is focused on preventative maintenance. >> this is a ten-year plan. and the reality is, equipment, material, facilities, they wear out. >> reporter: but the plan comes at a cost. that's why wiedefeld is asking for $500 million annually from dmv taxpayers. that would put annual spending at $1.5 billion over ten years. >> one penny for every dollar you spend. >> reporter: d.c. councilman jack evans, also the chair of the metro board, says he and the district are on board with the proposal. he says one way to generate the $500 million needed is through a sales tax. >> there are many ways of getting it, the easiest, fastest is a one cent sales tax on the entire region. but the region has to look at how we can do it. >> reporter: wiedefeld is looking to cut internally as well. saying new metro employees wouldn't receive the same benefit and pensions as workers do now. >> i'm suggesting a defined contribution program

benefits program. >> reporter: that proposal doesn't sit well with the metro workers union. a spokesperson for local 689 says, instead of offering real proposals to improve the system and win riders back, weed field has, once again, pitted riders against workers in an attempt to balance the agency's budget on the back of w mata's hard working employees. wiedefeld said he'll be holding town hall meetings with metro workers starting next week, but he still insists that his proposal is the best way to move forward. now that union spokesperson says they plan on pushing back against wiedefeld's plan. they won't say exactly how they'll do that, but they tell us, doreen, that all options are on the table. >> meagan, thank you. it's a recurring problem, people jumping over the white house fence. we've already seen enhancements on the north side of the complex, now new restrictions are going up on the south side. the changes after a jumper spent

on the little bench in front of the step and we like to re-create pictures from the last trip that we were here. so that's different. >> five years from now we'll be on a platform further away with bulletproof screens around the white house. >> the new restrictions do not affect the view. >> it's beautiful. i'm happy i came. >> reporter: families like the harolds from boston say from any distance, it's still the people's house. in washington, kristin wright, news4. >> we asked for your opinions on our facebook page, whether you agree that closing that sidewalk is a good idea. most of you saying no and that the secret service should come up with another solution. maryland's governor larry hogan has canceled his schedule so that he can be at his father's bedside. larry hogan sr suffered a massive stroke on saturday. his condition has deteriorated so the governor canceled the rest of today's events to be with

sounding weary of casting too wide a net. >> i do not see a role in libya. i think the united states has right now enough roles. >> reporter: finally, an early assessment on the violence in paris. >> it looks like another terrorist attack and what can you say? just never ends. >> reporter: a new president facing a range of tests on the world front. and just announced today, the president will take a trip to the philippines later this year. now that announcement is raising some eyebrows. you'll remember that nation's controversial leader is the same person who famously cursed president obama. doreen? >> blayne alexander, thank you. new at 6:00, he served four terms as mayor and 16 years on the d.c. council. now the district is closer to building a statue to honor the late marion barry. tom sherwood has more on how the permanent tribute is coming along. >> so this would be him at six feet. this would

oversaw growth of the capital city in the late 1800s. >> putting a statue of marion barry there. >> no comment. >> reporter: they say his reputation is beside the point. >> it's a celebration of a man who had great positive impact on this city. >> reporter: it will be several more months before decisions about cost and plimpt are made. in the district, tom sherwood, news4. >> they came to capitol hill to give away joints, they got arrested. >> reporter: also some major hotels chains at the center of a data breach. >> susan hogan will join us with more details
