to pass out. he was looking straight at totality. we're have doug

different scene -- just wow. this is pretty phenomenal. >> yeah. absolutely. you know, you play back that video. i sound like a 14-year-old girl at justin bieber concert. that's the excitement i was feeling that's the way everybody felt. not only was i screaming there and it's so excited. the entire crowd. we're had thousands of people here and when that hit, when you saw that last little bit of the sun go away and all of a sudden we were in totality. all of a sudden it got dark like that. it was like somebody turned on a switch and off the switch, all of a sudden, we were in darkness. take a look at this video we're shot here. this is time lapse of it. you can see what was going on. we're had a little bit of sunshine. you see it getting gradually darker. then it gets almost completely dark. they're trying to take pictures of it, that was the only light that you saw, was

people's phones as they were trying to take those pictures. it was two minutes and 37 seconds of totality here. but i got -- i can't wait to see it again. i really just cannot wait to see it again. it was that cool to see that and to come all the way down here to south carolina. not a single person was disappointed. wow, what an experience that was. can't wait to see it again. we're only have to wait seven years to see it. now up in your area, 82% totality, not bad. by the way it just finished here as we were on the air. we're going to go to the space mu ze yum. -- pretty good show in your region, too. >> reporter: oh, yeah. very good showing, absolutely. you know what, everybody where i was standing just a little while ago was just thrilled and just focused on the sun

moon and what it was doing. someone said to me here on the mall, the best part of being here today is being together and seeing the same thing at the same time. i have to agree. you've got that, you know, that feeling of unity, it takes special things like this to feel. if you missed it, look now, the eclipse as seen in washington. we're used a special filter on the camera so we're could show it to you. at the peak, it covered about 82% of the sun and people absolutely loved it. the fact the eclipse is a once in a lifetime experience, it was not lost on anybody out on the mall today. they told us, it's so special to them to be a part of history. >> so you can see the moon overlapping the sun. and it's -- you can only see half of both the

sun. >> the kids are out here, like this is amazing. they expect total darkness, which we're don't have, that's okay. >> i thought it was amazing, once in a lifetime experience, really. i'm glad i brought the kids out to see this. >> so just a glimpse of some of the excitement out here on the mall today. you know what, i'm hanging on to these forever, back to you. >> glad you said that, we were wondering what people were going to do with those glasses. >> we're fire it up and ask people now what, what do we're do with them. you hold on to them the next seven years. >> thanks, kristin. all right. we're want to know what you think about the solar eclipse, here are the latest results of their online survey. majority of you thought it was really cool. >> moving on that to other news, local prosecutors say they still plan to press forward in their case against the teacher in prince georges county. the sent c

morning. he'll spend 75 years behind bars on federal charges now. earlier this year he pleaded guilty to taping or abusing at least 20 young people, some of them as young as 90 years old. he said he is not a monster. he still love the victim's families. despite the sentence, they said she wants a local trial, too. >> next thing that happens is we're have to do everything in our power to make sure there is no other deonta care away. >> he has an iq of 62, basically, that of a young boy. they argue he was abused himself when he was younger and didn't understand what he was doing. he's set now to go to trial next month. high drama inside and outside of prince georges county courtroom today. >> you're going to go to jail. >> get the camera out of her

face. >> the family of a murder suspect after scheduled bond hearing inside court. a judge stopped that hearing after some strange outbursts by the suspect. antonio williams is accused of stabbing his six-year-old sister and their two young cousins last week. tracee wilkins is live. tracee, really intense moments today in court. >> absolutely, when you're dealing with a case like this that is as emotional and difficult as this one. there is no telling what you're going to find inside of the courtroom. this was suppose to be a competency hearing and first appearance, for williams. we're looking at three dead little girls here. his little sister, a six-year-old and cousin, six-year-old and nine-year-old. all three of them allegedly stabbed to death by him. we're had both sets of parents who appear to be on

sides of the courtroom here, again, no one prepared for what we're experienced inside of that courtroom. >> when antonio williams first entered the courtroom, he was yelling and that's my mom. that's my mom. after he was seated, he said, he's here, no, no, no, no, no. the judge asked williams to focus and she tried to begin the hearing, that's when he begin repeating, i'm not the one you're looking for, i'm not the one you're looking for. the judge ruled for mental evaluation saying it was obvious that williams was incapable of a hearing today as he was escorted out of the courtroom saying, mommy love you, i'm here. mommy is here, baby. that incited the fathers to yell across the courtroom with her. there was a brawl holding them back from the mother of the defendant, who was also the mother of one of the victims. >> one dad said, she's suppose to burry me and

understand how to move forward and to bury the baby he expected to be able to bury him. and so the mother, in the case, of course, came and -- of the defendant and made comments that really did incite further pain. >> reporter: so the deputies escorted the mother and the folks who were with her out of the courtroom. we were shooting them as they exited and that is when they lunged at my photographer who was getting video, along with other photographers, as well. they had to actually cross the street to have this confrontation with our news 4 photographer, shoving the camera at one point, cursing and yelling at him at another point. it was -- it was an unbelievable scene. at one point the mother of the victim picked up a tree branch and tried to throw at the photographer, family members had

[000:09:59;00] it was very disturbing to watch. but there was so much anger inside of that courtroom, that they had to separate the families, allowing the mother and the people who were with her to leave out first and then giving the fathers of the girls who died some time to sit down and talk with the state's attorney and then they were escorted out of a separate entrance. it looked like the fathers got most upset when the mother was saying to the son, i'm here, i love you. they were angry and feeling like that somehow meant that she was not there for the little girl who was killed. very complicated and a difficult case. the state's attorney says this is one of the most difficult days and difficult cases they've ever handled. reporting live in upper marlboro, i'm tracee wilkins back to you all in the studio. >> massive search and rescue operations underway for ten missing u.s. sailors. they disappeared after the uss mccain collided with an oil tanker.
