>> the frantic search is intensifying after the inmate ran from the parking lot of a hospital. we're also learning more about the critical evidence that he left behind. all this unfeldiolding right no and chris gordon has the latest developments. >> reporter: heavily armed police follow k-9 units searching through the woods and along railroad tracks. a maryland state police helicopter flies overhead, looking for 28-year-old david m. watson. the prisoner who escaped this morning. watson is serving time for attempted murder in delaware. in another county, he faces charges of attempting to murder police officers. he was being transported here to clifton t. perkins psychiatric hospital for evaluation. two detention officers were in the white van when watson escaped at 9:40 this morning. >> a guard opened the door after the van stopped in the

only occupant, pushed the guard to the ground and ran into the woods. we did find handcuffs and a waist chain on the scene. >> reporter: police with guns drawn, searched a truck looking for the escapee. at this jess up asphalt plant, a supervisor tells me, they spotted a white van this morning. >> one of our truck drivers saw the guy jump out of the fan and go into the woods. >> and which way was he heading? >> out by pawtuxet range road. >> reporter: police say watson was wearing all white, sweat pants and a thermal shirt which searchers have recovered. they don't think he has a weapon. there are a lot of industrial parks in the area. some of the businesses have been searched. >> we got a phone call from the howard county police department that there was an escaped prisoner. that's what -- we saw the helicopters flying around ever since. >> have you seen anyone? >>

>> reporter: the live picture now from chopper4 as the search grid has expanded over the past couple of hours. a wider area. police are looking, trying to catch this prisoner before nightfall. they say david watson is considered dangerous. if you see him, don't approach him. call 911. that's the latest live from jessup, back to you. >> chris, thank you. now to a story you'll see only on news4. a toddler walking through a store at tyson's corner center. but police say that toddler's mother was using the child to help her shoplift. news4's david culver joins us now with a look at how the scheme worked. david? >> reporter: hi there, doreen. we can tell you the tyson's urban team, the fairfax county police officers that patrol specifically this area, they're investigating several shoplifting incidents. but what caught our attention about this one, is that a

pulled off the crime. no charges in this case just yet. but police tell us that an arrest they made on wednesday may be the same suspect. this is zandra smith, 26 years old. smiling in her booking photo. fairfax county police arrested her for allegedly stealing, accused of stuffing items into her purse from the apple store in tyson. >> she didn't have any children with her in that incident. we believe it's the same suspect. >> reporter: police believe it may be the same suspect as this. february 12, cameras rolling inside the true religion store at tyson's corner center. in walk two women, a little girl and an infant, being pushed in that stroller. over several minutes, can you see the pair making their way through the store, an employee checking in on them periodically. at one point, one of the women appears to check in on the infant in the stroller. but watch again cl

she stuffs clothes in the stroller. then the woman apparently hands clothes to the toddler, the little girl, just standing right next to her. that little girl then walks to the front of the store. apparently trying to test the sensor alarm. >> she also gave the toddler clothing and he would talk to the entrance and come back into the store. >> tefling it out? >> not sure what the motive was. r r the group then leaves the store. >> a lot of the stheez shoplifting cases, the suspects will bring kids with them. >> reporter: if the child was used in crime -- >> that could be a charge in itself. contributing to the delinquency of a minor. >> reporter: smith has not been charged in connection with the february incident. and the incidents just this past week, she's already bailed out of jail on a $5,000 bond. i did try to text her, tried to call her, have not yet heard back. we'll update you when we hear moreut

>> david, thank you. five days after it began, the fire near the university of maryland is finally out. it started on monday morning, in an apartment building under construction. prince george's county firefighters spent days dousing the building and putting out the hot spots. now the round-the-clock fire watch is over. investigators say the fire was an accident, but they still don't know exactly how it started. metro says it will now close five orange line stations, as part of its next safe track surge. initially they were going to just do single tracking, but now buses will replace trains between new carrollton and the stadium arm stations, may 16 through june 15. the next surge will focus on the red line and buses will replace trains between shady grove and twin brook stations, but no dates are set for the red line work yet. a payroll

take-home pay than they should have. that's because the government failed to withhold social security and medicare taxes. the problem dates back almost ten years and impacts current and retired employees. mark segraves broke this story first on 4. >> reporter: a team of auditors discovered the problem just this week. so far, they've identified hundreds of d.c. government employees who did not have any social security or medicare taxes withheld from their paychecks. that means those employees had no money paid into their social security and medicare accounts. vent ris gibson with the department of human resources said the error dates back at least ten years. >> certainly we are so sorry this has happened, and our goal is to just make our employees whole to the best of our ability and within the confines of the law. and just to let them know we're hear to help them get through the situation, as much as we want to get through it.

workers who are impacted by the mistake will not have to pay the money back. federal law requires the employer to pay the irs. gibson doesn't blame the employees for not noticing the error. she says the pay stubs can be confusing. so they're sending a notice to all workers on how to understand their paychecks. while the d.c. government will be responsible for paying the social security and medicare taxes, employees might be on the hook if this impacts their federal or local income taxes. >> if there are taxes owed as a result of this error, what we're prepared to do as a city is provide each affected employee only with tax prepared service to assist them in filing amendments. >> reporter: mayor bowser has authorized the hiring of an outside accounting firm. gibson says it's possible the error extends beyond the hundreds of employees they've already identified. internal d.c. government investigators tell

school chancellor kaya henderson violated rules and gave special favors to top officials. >> henderson left her powerful job last year, but is under new scrutiny tonight. scott macfarlane broke this story on our app and joins us now with more. this is surprising. >> caught us by surprise. officials with d.c. government's internal watchdog, its office of inspector general say they investigated kaya and found misconduct. they say she gave special treatment to the powerful. how? they say by helping some students move to schools outside their district boundary, which violates d.c.'s famed school lottery system. that lottery is in place for parents to vie to place their kids in the most sdrirable public schools in the district. the inspector general's office tells me their investigation found seven incidents in which she failed to act impartially and gave preference to other government officials. it didn't name the officials, but we're still seeki

henderson the i.g. did not find information that the placements were made improperly only that they were discretionary. if leaders don't believe there are situations when the chancellor should exercise discretion in determining placements, they should eliminate that provision from the statute. the inspector general said they did not find evidence of anything criminal. jim and doreen, they say the misconduct happened in 2015. henderson resigned in 2016. d.c. public schools says, no connection. >> okay, thank you, scott. a government shutdown has been prevented. at least for now. today congress sent president trump a short-term spending resolution to keep the lights on for another week. bipartisan talks are continuing on a spending bill that would finance federal agencies through the end of september. in the meantime, blayne alexander reports that president trump is wrapping his first 100 days with new escalations in the north korea crisis, including a

hour. >> reporter: as he prepares to enter his 100th day in office, president trump raising concerns in an interview with reuters, offering this prediction on north korea. >> well, there's a chance that we could end up having a major, major conflict with north korea. >> reporter: secretary of state rex tillerson offering a more diplomatic approach, warning members of the nump security council, especially china, it's time to ramp up pressure on north korea. >> it is likely only a matter of time before north korea dweppedz the capability to strike the u.s. mainland. >> reporter: on capitol hill, congress is set to vote on north korea economic sanctions as early as next week. today's focus successfully avoiding a government shutdown. >> t >> reporter: congress passing a one-week extension, giving lawmakers more time to negotiate a spending bill. also next week, a vote

signs of life. >> i was on the phone until 11:00, we're just a few short. >> reporter: the bill's first failure, a learning moment for the new president admitting this job is different than he expected. >> i loved my previous life. i had so many things going. i actually -- this is more work than in my previous life. i thought it would be easier. >> reporter: touting unprecedented progress, the president now looking to the goals and challenges as he prepares to enter his next 100 days. and we have more information on that breaking news that we're just learning within the past hour about a missile launch or a missile test from north korea. we do understand that it was a short-range ballistic missile. so it had the power to reach seoul, south korea, but not japan. and we are told, officials are describing this as a failed missile launch. it exploded shortly after being launched. now, we do note as of right now, no statement yet from the white house. but this is exactly what the president and secretary o

they spoke of increased tensions between the u.s. and north korea. so we'll be standing by to see if we get anything from the white house anytime soon. jim? >> blayne, thanks so much. now to leon harris with new developments in the deaths of two especially ops troops in afghanistan. leon, what are you learning? >> jim, we're learning quite a bit about this. it's an unsettling development in a tragic story. this may have been a case of friendly fire, it turns out. two army rangers were killed and a third injured during a raid on an isis compound in afghanistan wednesday night. the u.s. military has launched an investigation that includes the possibility that friendly fire came from afghan forces. 35 isis fighters were killed during that three-hour-long firefight. the target, the top isis leader in afghanistan. military officials believe he was killed but have yet to confirm that. meantime,

about george h.w. bush. he was released from houston methodist after a bout of pneumonia. he's 92 and still kicking. it's going to be another bds weekend on the national mall. thousands expected for the people's climate march, that's tomorrow and the course will be from the capitol to the white house. jim, doreen, back to you. >> thank you, leon. local teachers with their licenses revoked or canceled. it's information parents want to know but may not always be able to access. plus, a deeper dive into the president's first 100 days in office, from his success to his setbacks, and the challenges ahead. nbc's chuck todd joins us from the studio next. and it's a beautiful day out here on the storm team4 weather deck. absolutely gorgeous. great night tonight. could see some showers overnight. but tomorrow, we're talking record heat. take a look at those numbers. 81 degrees in d.c. tomorrow it could be ten degrees warmer. updad

creating a cleaner environment by using cleaner energy sources

we've reduced carbon emissions by nearly 25%, which is the equivalent of taking close to two million cars off the road. cleaner air and cleaner water. it's good for all of us. dominion. depend on us for more than energy. back now to politics as we countdown president trump's first 100 days in the white house. this is day 99. >> chuck todd joins us now. there's a whole lot to talk about. >> you got it. >> start with the president's comments on north korea. we're going to

and get your reaction on the other side. >> well, there's a chance that we could end up having a major, major conflict with north korea. absolutely. >> that's pretty clear. >> it was -- what's startling about it is your reaction, the collective reaction of washington, the press and all this stuff, in that it was just sort of, oh, yeah, that's just the president escalating some rhetoric, but it's just rhetoric. we're at day 99 and there's a discounting of this rhetoric. another commander in chief says something as definitive about that with a potential military conflict, we're all in breaking news mode. all of washington is in lockdown mode and all of a sudden there's this concern. so, you know, that struck me as sort of one of the problems he's gotta figure out how to calibrate, which is sort of

because he has this -- you know, at some point, he's not going to be over-hyping, but there's a crying wolf aspect here, but he's made it where people now just automatically discount. when i heard, we might pull out of nafta, i rolled my eyes. then you read the story and realize it was more serious than we thought. we didn't get out of nafta, not that it was willy nilly, maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. but that's the point. it sums up the hundred days. there's a lot of talk, but there hasn't been a lot of action. >> seems like business negotiations to me. right? >> and if it is -- >> you say inflammatory things to shake the other side up and maybe they'll go along with your plan. >> and if it's the strategy on nafta, maybe it's going to work. maybe it does get mexico and canada to the table. i'm not discounting that theory in foreign policy, it's called the mad man theory. nixon had this idea, i'm not going to do it, but don't let them think i might. but at some point, i think it's hurt him

taken right for what it's worth right now. people are discounting it. >> in that same reuters interview, the president seemed almost wistful about his life before the white house and being president was more work than he thought, anyway. >> it was an incredibly revealing quote. because, a lot -- it was funny, when he used to say, this stuff would be so easy on the campaign trail. i really, i think many of us filed it away as typical campaign rhetoric. he's just trying to make the audience -- apparently he believed it would be easier. and i think, if there is one thing i have noticed in how he's changed, it is, he is showing more public patience. it's still a little impatient compared to previous presidents, but he's showing more public patience, whether it's realizing that congress moves at a different pace, realizing that there are three branches of government and sometimes the

step in front of you, that there are guard rails in our democracy on different things. so you see him calibrating, but there's a lot of lost opportunity in the first hundred days that i think in hindsight he's going to regret. >> you are talking live with vice president pence. >> he's come back from asia and he was on the keep everybody calm about north korea tour. he's been quiet on health care as well and where that is. but look, there's a whole day's agenda to talk about and we have the vice president and we have a lot of time with him. going to be great. >> this sunday, appreciate that as always. >> and mike pence will be his guest on "meet the press" sunday morning here on nbc4 at 10:30. you may have seen the commercial, but you probably don't know the whole story. what we discoveredut

slamming the popular tourist rental market of airbnb. >> d.c. wants to lease apartment buildings across the city to house homeless family. they say it can help them drasti

wow, warm and sunny and just the start of the warm temperatures, i think. doug is over at the screen with more on that. >> beautiful day for us today, but what a different story it was 15 years ago today. back in 2002, the tornado that ripped through la plata, this was one of the most powerful tornadoes we've ever seen in our area, an ef-4 tornado. winds upward of 200, to 260 miles per hour. over a hundred homes destroyed and over $100 million in damage. la plata definitely has rebuilt since then, but they will never forget this tornado that came through. came through at 8:00 at night and we got amazing pictures as it was running through. one of only two ef-4 tornadoes ever in the state of maryland. out there now for us, beautiful conditions. nothing like

not even any thunderstorm activity. 86 degrees currently. winds out of the south, 13-mile-per-hour. going to be a great evening tonight. we told you today would be a fantastic friday. that's what we saw. 79 in winchester, 81 towards huntingtown. nice no matter where you are. no rain now, but we're tracking a system farther back to the west, towards the ohio valley right now. this system is moving our way. we are going to see a chance overnight tonight that we i have chance of a shower or thunderstorm. i'll show you the best chance of that in just a second. but look at these be innumbers, up to the new york and boston area. more warmth tomorrow. the cold air stays to the west. 6:00 tonight, no problem. 11:00, if you're heading out, no worries then either. a very nice night all the way around. you're going to get home fine. if you're a late night owl,

be fine. but 3:00 a.m., starting to see a line of showers and it's coming to the district around 4:00. don't be surprised to hear rain drops on your rooftop, maybe lightning and thunder. not expecting much from this. it will clear out by early tomorrow. tomorrow, another great day if you like it hot. we're talking 92 degrees, hot and humid, maybe even a few thunderstorms. best chance of storms in the northern zones, frederick county, up around the mason-dixon line. that 92 would be a record high temperature. the old record, 91, setback in 1974. so we are protecting a record, heat index could be 94. mets taking on the nationals. if you're heading to the game, 1:00 start, it's going to be a very hot day at the game. plenty of sunshine, 86 at noon, 90 degrees by 2:00. by the time the game's wrapping up, temperatures around the 92-degree range, hoply

nationals definitely on a roll. yes, they play tonight too, but tonight's forecast not a bad one. it's perfect for a nationals game. sunday again, still a tough forecast for our sunday. highs to the north and to the south. the other thing to look for monday and tuesday, could be rather windy, gusting 30 to 40 miles per hour. so looking pretty good. next big storm, way out there about a week away. >> all right, out until 3, 4:00 a.m., that's a normal friday. >> of course. >> thanks, doug. still ahead, the i-team has been digging into it for months. the information parents are not able to access when it comes to teacher misconduct. when you hear sex trafficking, you think of urban areas, not

frederick county, maryland.

dozens of teachers in the d.c. region have been accused of misconduct in recent years, their teaching licenses revoked or canceled because of it. >> you can

see what the teachers are accused of doing that led to that result. >> tonight, scott macfarlane show us how virginia, maryland, and d.c. trail other states in how much they reveal to the public about teachers. >> beginning of 2016, sean lanigan is one of them. you may recall seeing him on nbc's "today" show in 2011. >> when that judge read the verdict of not guilty of both charges, felt like the world was off my shoulders. >> reporter: describing what it was like to be a teacher falsely accused of sexually assaulting a student. >> i love all my students, and just absolutely stunned that a student would actually make these accusations. >> reporter: seven years ago, the fairfax county teacher was found not guilty in a trial that captured national attention. he said the girl who accused him made up her story. and a jury agreed with him. they found lanigan recently faced more accusations. this internal investigation reveals what he

summer. he was seen or heard making lewd comments to students. holding hands with girls, calling one his girlfriend and running his finger up the inner thigh of a 15-year-old sophomore. in part of a statement to news4, lanigan said, i have 18 years of experience teaching and i've never inappropriately touched a student. however, after the trial, when i returned to teaching, tension remained between the school system and me, and after five years, although i still enjoyed teaching, i decided to move on with my life and surrendered my teaching license. he formally canceled his license a few weeks ago. >> does it surprise you his teaching license was just canceled. >> it surprises me that it took so long. >> reporter: this student filed a complaint in the 1990s, accusing him of making lewd comments in the 1990s. including a reference to her birthday suit. she called it inappropriate and sexual. lanigan addressed the

there's no easy way to determine what led to the cancellations or revocations of license for him or dozens of other teachers, because maryland, virginia, and d.c. do not post the reasons or the orders describing the incidents causing a revocation. instead, it lists only the names and the dates in which the licenses were pulled. fairfax county's top prosecutor says that's a problem. >> when things happen that are of concern, i think the information needs to be passed out. parents need to have it. we need to keep our children safe. >> reporter: inside the virginia department of education, charles pile says school districts and state education departments are sharing this information with each other and doing so in real time to ensure teachers whose licenses are revoked or canceled, can't get jobs in other public schools in

that fact, it the cancellation shared with all school districts in the state. >> but not with parents, unless they type up a formal request under the freedom of information act for each name they want to check. >> people should know that information. we send our kids to school and we expect they'll be safe. >> d.c. and maryland don't even list the names of teachers who have had licenses canceled or revoked. a spokesperson said that a website that indefinitely shames people who have been shamed in many cases does not make kids safer. instead, focus on prevention, by setting high standards for entry. >> we've posted a memo in our nbc washington app, search teacher memo to rea

the break. we tend to think that human trafficking happens on seedy city streets or at a remote border crossing, but it goes on everywhere. kristin wright has more on a new effort to find victims in towns you didn't know needed help. >> reporter: truck stops, they're loud, busy and transient and they've gotten the attention of those in frederick county who are leading the charge against sex trafficking. heather moreno is the first outreach coordinator, at heartily house, the plan is to provide counselling and shelter. she says the challenge now is figuring out how many people are trafficked in the county. >> we have a lot of truckers going through, a lot of close access to airports as well and a lot of hotels that are along those highways. >> reporter: heather spent a year in thailand working with victims of sex traffig,

a tv commercial slamming the popular airbnb has d.c. neighbors angry tonight. after we confirmed the neighbor in the ad is really an actress. >> i'm tired of feeling like an outsider in my own neighborhood. >> the tag line claims the woman feels like an outsider and maybe that's because she really lives in new york city. the ad presents her as a long-time resident of historic anacostia.

saying that airb gretta fuller, a real resident, says airbnb has not changed the feel of her neighborhood. as a host, she said short-term rentals are a plus. >> first of all, d.c. is a tourist city and every washingtonian is an ambassador to the city. and for you to say it doesn't feel like home and tourists walking down the streets, it's ridiculous. >> the d.c. council is considering legislation that aims to limit how many properties a homeowner can list and for how many days for year. the council won't vote on that for another two months. sthmpt there was a rousing welcome in loudoun county's freedom high school today for hundreds of students from across the state, arriving for a leadership conference. they'll be hearing inspiring stories about overcoming obstacles, not from adults, but from other students. julie carey met with two of them today. >> reporter: trevor la mas

announcer: while everyone discusses the future of health care, 18 million americans are already choosing it.... with medicare advantage: a proven public-private partnership, where health outcomes are valued over volume. where early intervention and management of chronic conditions is leading to better outcomes. and costs are more predictable and affordable. why do so many seniors choose medicare advantage? maybe because with age comes wisdom. medicare advantage. leading the way.

>> reporter: ezra's family can now live in their own apartment that's run by the city. >> like i said, it feels like home. we're actually able to make our own food. >> reporter: and their children have a place to sleep. it's a different experience from living in a motel where more than 500 d.c. homeless families live. the city says it costs about $80,000 a night for all of these families to live there. but they say leasing apartments would cut the cost in half. >> we want to have smaller, short-term family housing that is not in one major institution, but is within communities in all eight wards of the district. >> reporter: she says the mayor os plan is to lease apartment buildings throughout the city for families like the bryants. >> everybody needs help sometimes and we want to be able to provide the help in better ways that is an environment that's going to feel safe and secure for them and their children. >> it makes a difference, especially for
