rain chances the next few days coming up in the next few minutes. tom, we'll see you in a few minutes. now to the big developing story in montgomery county. four people shot overnight. one of them has died. the county police there in montgomery have not identified the victim. they say two men and two women were stopped inside a home in germantown. it happened on kitchen house way not far from seneca high school. police did not give us information about the suspect. derrick ward is headed that way. we'll check in with him a little later. and the story developing right now, we know that a woman was killed in calbert county overnight. detectives were telling everyone to stay inside in lusby and to lock the doors. the killing happened and james harley jr. has not been caught. they believe he shot his wife tanya hy

left. police are actively searching for him right now. one more big story happening right now in maryland, there's a hunt going on right now trying to find this man, an escaped prisoner. howard county police have looked all night for david watson who was in jesup for a psychiatric evaluation when he got away. he was serving time for attempted murder. howard county police say he managed to take off a waist chain and handcuffs while being held inside a van. watson we know has several a dues including the word "thin" on his hand and "evil" on his neck. plus a few tattoos on his face. if you see him, call 911 right away. and increasing security after another missile launch in north korea. officials in the united states and south korea say the launch failed. and that the missile wouldn't be able to reach japan. the tokyo subway shut down for several minutes after officials learned about the launch. earlier this week, president tr s

conflict. and angie, we'll stay on the topic of president trump. he'll mark his first 100 days in office with a speech. this is happening up in harrisburg, pennsylvania. our partners at factcheck.org say he started off his term just as he left off the campaign, making several false and misleading claims. >> we're finding that donald trump as president is the same as donald trump the candidate. and you saw that on day one. >> this american carnage stops right here and stops right now. >> he was portraying the united states as being crime-ridden. >> factcheck.org says the crime rate has been trending downward for decades. adding, it's less than half of what it was in 1991. >> rusted out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape.

on inauguration day. but 217,000 jobs were added many the month of january alone. it was the 76th consecutive month of job growth according to factcheck.org. >> wiretap covers a lot of different things. i think you will find very interesting things coming to the forefront over the next two weeks. >> as president he accused president obama of illegally tapping his phones during the campaign. there's no evidence of that. >> factcheck.org also points out there's no evidence to back up the president's claim he would have won the popular vote if it weren't for massive voter fraud. >> toyota just announced it will invest more than $1.3 billion, followed by $1.9 billion, into a georgetown, kentucky, plant. an investment that would not have been made if we didn't win the election. >> factcheck.org says the

decision by toyota to invest in its kentucky plant was made before trump became president. >> still seeing the same kind of things that donald trump is saying on the campaign, that we keep pointing out, is not accurate. >> president trump spoke about his first 100 days with fox news. one of the topics including general michael flynn who is now under investigation by the pentagon for foreign payments following a stern 2014 warning. during the interview, the president put the blame on the former president obama. >> he resigned, you said he was treated horribly and felt bad about that. given now what we're seeing on the payments from turkey and russia, would you stand by that comment? >> let me just say, i feel badly for him. he served the country, he was a general. but just remember, he was approved by the obama administration at the highest level.

>> and while flynn served in the obama administration, trump did a secret background check. and in his address, trump mainly focused on one thing, jobs. today not only marks the 100th day of donald trump's presidency but also the white house correspondents' dinner. hasan minhaj won't be roasting the president, at least not in person. the president is not going to the dinner. instead, he'll be up in pennsylvania for a rally with supporters. the last president to miss the dinner was ronald reagan back in 1991 shortly after his assassination attempt. this morning on "meet the press" chuck todd will have an exclusive interview with vice president mike pence. he'll discuss the first 100 days and discuss the joint interview with the main
