i'm molette green. a home break-in turns into a massive police operation here in clinton with the suspect running away into a wooded area. the story coming up. there is another shakeup at the white house. >> the latest staffer to leave their position. and we're taking a look at some of that rain out there. we've got more thunderstorms on the way this afternoon but when can we have the details? that's coming up. we begin with breaking news this midday. a man is now in custody in clinton, maryland.

inside a house which then caught on fire. molette green has the latest. molette? >> reporter: yes. at any minute, we expect an update on the suspect. we just got his name moments ago. just before 10:30 this morning, police told us they caught this guy. his last name is gardener. we're still working to get his first name here. this man who was armed and ran off into a wooded area on surratts road had police scrambling to find him. this happened near grant avenue. we are in the parking lot of the colony south hotel near maryland's hta

can tell you that the shelter in place order ended right after this man's capture. he was armed when he broke into a house. police say he broke into a house here and then there was a fire that happened at that house shortly after. there was a barricade situation. again, the chief now at the podium to bring us up to date on this situation. >> at approximately 7:50 this morning, alert neighbors, and i want to thank them, telephoned 911 saying that a neighbor's house was being broken into by a gentleman and they provided us with a very good description. his name is wayne kindle gardener, a 33-year-old male and resides in the clinton area. mr. gardener was observed breaking into the home. our officers were en route and within a few minutes arrived on scene. at that point, independent witnesses

things from the home. he went back into that home and at this point officers moved to the perimeter of the house and he fled into the woodline armed with a shotgun. at this point, our officers pursued him towards the woodline and then found a place of cover and held position because at this point we have an armed individual and he's not in line of sight. very quickly, additional units responded, created a perimeter encompassing several square miles all the way out to 301 cognizant of the concerns of this hospital, kog acognizant o residents still in their homes. the fire department was hampered in their initial efforts and i'll let steve talk about that, because we didn't have eyes on the suspect immediately. they did their best to mitigate the fire and then pulled back.

our ems teams went in there and extinguished the fire. along the track we had k-9 assistance and we found mr. garth n gardener hiding in the wood line. he's unharmed. he has an extensive criminal record. at the end of this process, we have lifted the shelter in place order. we knew we had a tight perimeter but we weren't entirely sure where the suspect was. we have recovered the weapon. at this point, i'll turn it over to the chief of the fire department to speak about their efforts. >> thank you so much. as the chief said, when the fire department arrived, we found fire from the rear of the home. we were given information that we had a suspect in the wood line. well that information, we made a decision to make a quick initial

but then until the person was apprehended, we evacuated the building. there was further support and then at that time the fire continued to smoulder. it did light back up and crews went back inside and mopped it up. the fire was very small in nature. it was in one of the bedrooms, and it was contained to the bedroom with a little bit of smoke out into the hallway. >> questions? >> [ inaudible ]. >> it appears, yes, that he set the fire. >> we have one resident, we're not going to share his name, but he is safe and we contacted him. he was very helpful to us in terms of what may be in the house and, frankly, that weapon that he secured was the victim's weapon but we now have that as well so that's no longer out

victim's home. he had is secured in a proper fashion but the suspect had gotten access to it while he was removing items. he had been in the house, removed some items and then went back in so he had some time before the neighbors alerted us. the suspect has a criminal history. he probably frequents the area. he lives in clinton. all of those other questions will be part of the ongoing investigation which is just beginning. >> back here live here, the police chief is still briefing us on wayne gardener, the suspect in

break-in. the police telling us that the suspect ran into a wooded area. when officers arrived, they were able to capture him and recover a shotgun used in the break-in of this home. now, also the chief and fire chief telling us that the suspect set the home on fire but it was a small fire and they were able to put it out. the fire was in one of the bedrooms of this home. we're working to get video of this house. all of this area was shut off as police searched the home. wayne gardener of clinton, maryland, was captured just before 10:30 a.m. our prince george's county bureau chief tracee wilkins is

continue to update us later today on news4 and we'll have updates on our nbc washington app. this situation has resolved itself with the suspect now in police custody. we'll learn more about the exact charges in the coming hours. back to you guys. >> molette, thank you. developing this morning, take a good look at this little girl's picture on the screen here. the national center for missing and exploited children say that police need your help finding her parents. they don't know her name but she was dropped off at holy cross hospital on sunday in silver spring. she is either 2 or 3 years old. she has black hair and brown eyes. she had visible injuries to the lower half of her body when she was brought to the hospital. another story that we've been following all morning, problems for metro red line riders seem to be over right now. news4's justin finch explaining how the hiccup frustrated passengers. >> reporter: close to 7:00

morning came news that red line was restored but shuttles were still carrying loads. this impacted service and riders are being advised to take the green line instead but at the start of the day when word that these closures came out, there was a lot of frustration. crowds waiting for the first of the shuttle buses to arrive. riders say that close to 5:15 they got word of the service being shut down and they were told to wait for the buses. they say they waited for more than 45 minutes until the first shuttle bus arrived. frustrations, no doubt, were high as a result. >> i'm late to work. i'm supposed to be to work at 6:00. they told us 30 minutes ago that the shuttle bus was coming. >> i just got off the bus and they said we can't get on the train. i've got to be to work at 6:30. my bus was

i just paid for something that i -- i just gave them money and i can't even use the train. >> reporter: and again, close to 7:00 this morning, the shuttle buses were still arriving. however, metro said that service had been restored but to expect delays that should not sprinkle into the back end of the day but certainly impacted the morning commute. back to you. a 19-year-old woman was just sentenced for a brutal gang murder in gaithersburg. vanessa alvarado will spend most of her life in prison for stabbing a man 40 times a year ago. vanessa lured him into malcolm king park promising sex. three ms-13 gang members attacked him. on a phone call from jail, alvarado told her boyfriend that it was a hit. a judge sentenced her to life in prison suspending all

years. and lauren ricketts has the latest with the weather. what do we have to do to get one, full, sunny dry day? i mean, not a drop. >> everybody on facebook is asking me, everybody all over social media is asking me the same question, when can we see some sunshine? shenandoah valley, you have had glimpses of it but now we're seeing a few showers out there. a few showers up around baltimore, coming down through southern maryland. it's just light stuff but it's a nuisance because we still have the clouds. this is a camera. you can't see anything because of the clouds and the fog. temperatures in the 60s. daytime high, mid-70s. showers and thunderstorms still developing this afternoon. but again, age-old question, when can we see some sunshine? i'll tell you that in about ten minutes. >> lauren, thank you. much more ahead on

winery fire. what caused it too up g i

me to listen carefully. i'm ralph northam,aught and when survivors of the virginia tech shooting asked me to support an assault weapons ban and close the gun show loophole, i took on the fight. i saw what those weapons can do as an army doctor during the gulf war. now, i'm listening carefully to donald trump, and i think he's a narcissistic maniac. whatever you call him, we're not letting him bring his hate into virginia.

welcome back. part of a facility that's either a winery or distillary in shambles. this place exploded

it went up in flames after that. the people who own it say they were there at the time. no one was hurt, no animals hurt. the public area is still in tact. it's not clear how much damage was caused or what is gone for good. this morning, a scary reminder to look before you take that selfie. search and rescue crews now looking for a man who fell off this cliff at a washington state park. investigators think the fall happened because he was taking a picture. >> boyfriend and girlfriend on a hike. my understanding is they were going to take a selfie and he slipped and fell in, went down the cliff, about a 35-foot embankment. >> officials now believe that this is a recovery operation for that 25-year-old man. a 4-year-old girl lucky to be swimming close to an off-duty deputy this weekend. and that's because he saved the young girl's life.

his weekend in panama beach, florida. all of a sudden a little girl was pulled out of the pool and he performed cpr, he felt a pulse and she started to cry. >> i could be planning a funeral right now for my baby but i'm not because of him. >> i thank jesus christ for performing the miracle on that baby girl. >> there is a picture of the officer and the little girl. last check, she's now in good condition. new cases crop up every day, criminals stealing debit card information at the atm and you don't even know it is happening. one thief with one skimmer can drain hundreds of bank accounts. jeff rossen tells us how to spot a skimmer. >> reporter: watch as this man walks up to an atm in california. police say he's pulling out a

onto the machine. cops are looking for him. just days ago, police in new hampshire finding this small skimmer on an atm there. across the country, suspects still on the loose from new york to massachusetts, targeting customers just like you and these little skimmers can be heart to spot. it's a small electronic device placed right over the card reader. it looks like it's part of the machine, nearly impossible to see. but as you're withdrawing cash, it's really recording your debit card information for the crook. so how can you tell if your atm is being skimmed? we've set up a little experiment here with west com credit union and the maker of this atm. come on in, take a look around this atm. this is what you find at a grocery store, a restaurant. i don't see anything different here. but

what is the problem? >> so this is a skimmer. >> oh, my gosh. >> yes, it's that small and that easy to place. >> and look at the chip right there. it just slides right in like that? >> yep. >> that's incredible. i couldn't see that when it was in there. >> don't you need my p.i.n. number, too? >> i do. but there's a camera hit enright there, voel velcroed into the system. think you could tell? let's see. we rounded up a group of bank customers for a real-life test, giving them atm cards and p.i.n.s to use. >> reporter: take out $40 like you normally would. watching nearby is our security expert. got your money? >> yes. >> reporter: everything okay or anything suspicious? >> no. >> reporter: customer withdraw after customer. >>

i'm $40 richer. >> reporter: not a single person can tell they're being skimmed. how did it work? >> perfect. >> reporter: how did the atm work? >> awesome. >> reporter: great. thank you very much. >> uh-huh. >> reporter: no idea. all of their p.i.n. numbers recorded on that pinhole camera. time for the big reveal. what if i told you i had a skimmer on this the entire time? you guys couldn't tell. you stuck the card in no problem. >> it looks totally normal. >> you get your money but you have no idea you're being skimmed. >> reporter: a couple of things to look for, for all of you at home, too, make sure that everything is flush. this thing por trudrotruded out. by the way, you're probably thinking you still need my p.i.n. number. guess what, we had a

camera recording it. look for anything not attached to the atm. we had this velcroed in. it was watching your fingers hit the buttons. i can wipe you out. >> i always thought it was never going to happen to me and it just did. >> are you mad at me? >> a little bit, yeah. >> reporter: at least your money is safe and we all learned a lesson. good job, guys. >> that was jeff rossen reporting. now banks are getting wise to this and developing new technology to protect you. here are some tips. make sure to cover the p.i.n. pad when covering your numbers so if there are any cameras, it won't record it. check the key pad. some thieves may put a fake one over the real one. we all know where to go to find the american dream and it's not washington, d.c.,

apparently. diversity, home ownership and unemployment is where they have success. two cities are aurora, illinois, and west valley city, utah, have the best scores. they did well in mobility where kids find more economic success than their parents. the district came in dead last on this list. low home ownership and higher than unemployment average sunk the city here. 261 cities were on the list. no cities in virginia or maryland made the list. if you're confused about credit scores, more than 2,000 adults didn't know that a bad score can limit a person's options for cell phone service. 41% mistakenly believed that carrying a small balance on the card month to month can help improve the score. 11% thought that everyone starts with a perfect score.

credit is something that you build over time by using it responsibly. so it's not one of those things where you close an account or pay it off and all of a sudden it shoots right up. >> no. >> knowledge is power. tiger woods back in the news now but not for his golf game. >> what we've learned a

you never want to get suspended or anything like that but sometimes you've got to go and get them. >> it looks like it was intentional to me and what's a man supposed to do? and, you know, he's not a punching bag. >> so the last time that harper and strickland faced off was three years ago in the playoffs. you can see some of that video here. harper hit two home runs then but they both said that had nothing to do with what happened yesterday. we'll see what happens late today. all right. a chaotic scene at the texas state capitol. two lawmakers got in a fight after he says he called i.c.e. agents to come and detain people who were breaking the new law. all of this came as hundreds of people filled the state capitol to protest the state's new anti-sanctuary city's law. it requires local law enforcement to follow all federal immigration laws and impose criminal penalties for

"the washington post" reporting that kushner asked about using russian diplomatic to

them. he's under fbi scrutiny in its russia investigation into possible collusion between the trump campaign and russia, though he's not a target of the inquiry. mr. trump writing, "jared is doing a great job for the country" adding, "he is a very good person." the head of homeland security is downplaying it. >> i don't see any big issue here relative to jared. anytime you can hope lines of communication with anyone, whether they are good friends or not so good friends, is a smart thing to do. >> reporter: but some republicans disagree. >> i don't think it's standard procedure by someone who is not in an appointed position. >> reporter: senator john mccain offer this striking assessment of vladimir putin. >> i think he's the premier and most important threat, more so than isis. >> reporter: the man heading up the justice department's investigation, former fbi ct

we've just learned that a federal judge issued a ruling in keeping the purple line being built in this area. here's what we've learned. the decision still calls on maryland to produce an environmental analysis but all other issues will be resolved. this does not mean that construction can start but it allows the state of maryland to appeal the ruling. the block on the 16-mile light rail line puts federal money in jeopardy. well, we have all of those nights where you toss and you turn and just can't seem to fall asleep. >> like every night, right? on this shift. now that can all change with the help of sound. nbc's kristen dahlgren explains how you might be able to get a better night's rest. >> reporter: white noise, music, ocean waves. millions of americans report using some type of sound to help them sleep. now researer

just how helpful sound may be. >> we can use these very simple, natural sounds in sleep and be able to increase the amount of deep sleep which then can also increase memory formation. so this is very targeted. >> reporter: in a small study at northwestern medicine, there are short bursts of pink noise played, like a waterfall. >> and now this pink noise pulse. >> reporter: researchers time it at precise points to enhance deep sleep. deep sleep is the most restorative part of the sleep cycle. while a baby spent 40% of its time in deep sleep, by the time we're 80, we spend only 5%, getting the most restful sleep essential to the brain. the next morning, participants performed 20% better on

test than they did following a night with no noise. >> how concerned are you about keeping your memory and staying -- >> i'm very much concerned. >> reporter: this 85-year-old participated in the study and her memory test scores improved. >> it's a beautiful day. >> we are very interested in being able to slow down brain aging. >> reporter: the hope is to create a custom device for your home that will trigger your brain into the best night's sleep. kristen dahlgren, nbc news, chicago. all right. so let's turn to lauren ricketts now with a look at this forecast. we were hoping for a warmer day and a little sun. are you laughing at me? >> i'm laughing at you because we've been spotting the clouds for so long. oh, man, welcome to tuesday. unfortunately, we couldn't get
