hospital and they are listed in stable condition. authorities say the shooter was, quote, neutralized but it's not clear if that means that the suspect is dead. free man high school in the town of rockford was on lockdown. >> the state's governor called the shooting heartbreaking. we'll update you with any big new developments that we get in here. now to irma's impact and the tragic scene now unfolding in florida. the conditions in a nursing home so bad, it's now a crime scene. >> this is one of the worst fears for a loved one at one of these facilities. and we're getting word of a second nursing home in noflorid that is being evacuated in north miami beach. no word if this is another irma-relat irma-related situation but we're monitoring the situation. a sixth resident has now died in hollywood, florida, left without

irma. >> the rush to save the other residents has been painstaking. many trying to evacuate on their own. 115 were taken to the hospital. a number now in critical condition. the city's police chief says he believes the deaths are related to the loss of electricity. >> as a precautionary measure, we have assigned police officers to go check the other 42 assisted living facilities and nursing homes trout the city to make sure that they are in sufficient care. >> patients at a nearby behavioral center are being checked on. >> and we just learned that president trump will travel to the naples area tomorrow. they are making strides to recover since the storm. some gas stations and restaurants are reopening and power is being restored to nearly half the customers. and we are working for you with team coverage of irma's impact.
4:02 pm
broward county where folks are struggling to clean up. >> let's go live to dave in ft. lauderdale. what do you see this afternoon? >> reporter: leon and pat, you mentioned the electricity situation. it's dire when it comes to power. we were reporting here live about 48 hours ago and this was covered in sand. about ten inches of sand. they have now fully reopened this and that is vital because they are trying to get businesses back up and running. we've been here a week and that's a week that a lot of these stores and hotels have been without business. they are trying to recoup some of that loss. meantime, we drove around to parts of broward county, the western portions of some of the neighborhoods and we found piles after piles of debris stacked up along the roadways. this is coming mostly from the yards here. here's the big issue when it comes to lack of electricity. all of these folks are out cleaning up their yards and doing all of this really heavy lifting when it comes to some of the branchs and trying to put them in the front of theirar
4:03 pm
having refuge, meaning that they can't go back into their homes and sit in the ac and cool off because they have no power. so it's becoming a really dire situation as officials put it here. the folks are also realistic. they know that they can be without power for several more days, perhaps even another week. one of the women i interviewed was telling me that after wilma they have 2 1/2 weeks before they got their power back. so that's one of the situations. electricity. again, about a week before they could get that back. when it comes to flights, we were scheduled to fly out today and the airline said that is not going to happen so we're now booked for tomorrow. dozens of more flights are canceled or delayed and then you talk about schools. kids going back to class. those schools were turned into shelters and they are now being turned back into classrooms. they are hoping to reopen here in broward county by next week. there's no guarantee. pat and leon? >> david culver, thank you. what a long road
4:04 pm
it's been a week since hurricane irma blew through the u.s. virgin islands. on st. thomas, workers for the tsa are trying to reopen the airport perhaps by the weekend. the curfew, meanwhile, is still in effect. here at home, the rain soaked up this morning. that's what was left of irma. we might not have seen the last of it, though, folks. >> let's go to meteorologist doug kammerer. have we seen the last of it? >> no. you'll really see the whole area of low pressure irma making its way our way. the radar showing no rain now. if you have plans and your kids have games, i think we're going to be a-okay. look at the storm. you can really see it here as it me
4:05 pm
this is a visible satellite picture. look at the spin in the atmosphere. that's irma, the remnants of irma. no longer tropical. the recommend namnants are movi. we still have to talk about jose. here's the interesting thing about jose. it's moving almost stationary here. the models bring it close to theethe east coast. right now, a minimal hurricane with winds of 75 miles per hour. much more on that and your weekend forecast coming up in just a minute. >> thanks, doug. breaking news from baltimore. new reaction from the family of freddie gray this afternoon. >> they are responding to the justice department's decision to not bring any charges against six police officers involved in his death two years ago. erika gonzalez has bee
4:06 pm
>> reporter: that's right. they expressed that it was a disappointing end and this is just the federal investigation. >> this is a bitter pill for all of us to swallow, but we have to admit, we left satisfied with the investigation. it's time now for all of us to reflect and to heal. >> the decision came yesterday from the doj. the department said that the evidence is insufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the officers involved in gray's arrest willfully violated his civil rights. gray was taken into custody in april of 2015. he was handcuffed in a police van and suffered a broken neck during the transport and died a week later. during that news conference, attorneys also said they've got a new document that could be made public. they said it proves that the
4:07 pm
investigation by state's attorney marilyn mosby. back to you guys. >> all right, erika. now to a disturbing case of an alleged domestic violence case. a man is accused of setting his pregnant girlfriend on fire. >> my son could not have done a heinous crime like this. >> tracee wilkins has been following this case. tracee is live in castle heights. tracee, what struck you about this case today? >> well, it was very interesting talking to the family of phillip, even after he turned himself in. his family says he is not guilty and they don't believe he's responsible for what happened here. they are starting to fix this up on the inside. the apartment was burned throughout
4:08 pm
was set on fire inside of the apartment. prince george's county police say they investigated this case and that phillips is their guy. today he was held without bond. >> portrayed as this monday store. >> reporter: today, we heard from the family and friends of laquinn phillips, who is accused of setting his pregnant girlfriend andrea grinage on fire. >> this is not my son. he could not have done a heinous crime like this. >> reporter: today, a judge held phillips in jail on attempted murder. he has no previous criminal record and is a personal trainer and was just accepted to be a d.c. firefighter. >> we've seen it enough to know that, again, even someone who has never been involved will make an irrational decision based on a temporary
4:09 pm
can still smell the smoke from inside of that apartment building. just yesterday, grinage's mother posted a post saying that her daughter had to go through another severe surgery. there was no telling how she was going to do. our understanding is that she's still in critical condition at this point. there's a lot happening with this family and the state's attorney is saying that she's considering second attempted murder charges for this baby who survived. reporting live, tracee wilkins, back to you all in the studio. >> just a horrible story, tracee, thanks so much. in a little more than three hours, the community is coming together for a vigil for a missing pregnant maryland teacher, laura wallen. she hasn't been seen or heard from for more than a week. at 7:30, some of the people closest to her are gathering calling it a gathering of hope. news4's jack sie bensen is workg this report and you'll

at 5:00. and president trump is meeting with the top two democrat congressionals and they are expected to bring their wish list with them. blaine alexander is there. >> reporter: you know, you're right, they are going to see a competing wish list. democrats are going to talk about daca and on trump's mind is tax reform. will this be enough to satisfy both agendas? tonight on the white house menu, another bipartisan dinner, this time with top democrats, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. hours later, president trump hosting a bipartisan group of members. >> it's a positive thing
4:11 pm
and democrats. >> reporter: last night, he sat down with senate democrats and republicans. >> i commend him for doing it. i thought it was a very constructive meeting last night. >> this is exactly what the american public wants. >> reporter: but is it what the president wants? >> the basic package that we don't want to be determined by nancy. >> reporter: bipartisan or not, tax reform will happen. >> i would love to have the democrats supporting and working with us in a constructive way but we're going to do it no matter what. >> reporter: meanwhile, democrats working on their own wish list, including health care. today on capitol hill, both parties releasing competing plans. and on tax reform, president trump said that he would love to work with democrats but said that republicans can still go it

4:16 pm
newsroom. hey, kristin. >> unlocking my phone with my fingerprint is like second nature but there may be something that changes the story, so to speak. your face is your password. what is it going to mean for law enforcement and will it be harder for police to get into suspects' phones and will it take longer to get the search warrant and delay criminal cases. we asked the attorney general and he said he thinks face i.d. could be a useful tool for them but with some challenges. >> i see some hurdles for us. i.e., may need a search warrant to help us gain access to their phone. but assuming that you know that their image was up loaded at a specific time and place and hitting on a particular cell tower, it could be pretty
4:17 pm
territory in that police are already dealing with legal challenges with suspect's phones that use fingerprint i.d. pat, back to you. >> pretty interesting stuff, kristin, thank you. an update to the equifax data breach that affected 143 million people. today the bureau responded to backlash to customers who complained about being charged to free their credit files. the company says it will waive the $10 fee. the offer, though, is only good for 30 days. if you've already paid for a p.i.n. code to freeze your credit, equifax will refund your money. the company already offers one year of free credit monitoring. weather monitoring, although we've been monitoring our buddy here from prince george's county. this moth. >> those webs, they get there quite of
4:18 pm
view and you've got one. >> a great one there. >> we saw a lot of clouds and shower activity. this afternoon we told you the sun would come out and that's what we've got across our area. looking good across our region. temperatures on the mild side. 77 degrees, winds out of the northeast at 7 miles an hour. temperatures go up just a little bit more over the next hour or so. up to 80 in culpeper. we mentioned the southern areas will see the sun first. that's why it's warmer. 82 in fredericksburg. 73 in gaithersburg. 77 up towards the baltimore area. another nice afternoon out there on our wednesday. no rain to talk about in our area. all you have to do is look at what is going on with irma. you see the cloud cover make its way out. here are the showers that we saw earlier and then back to the west, here is irma. look at the spin in the atmosphere. no longer a tropical storm system. but now a broad area of
4:19 pm
that spin and that spin moves over us tomorrow and it will give us another chance for scattered showers, maybe an isolated thunderstorm. let's time it out for you. future weather showing the impact that it's going to have on you. tonight, i don't think much at all. we'll see nice conditions. notice by 11:00, it's clearing. at that time, we may start to get fog overnight tonight. as we move through the day, notice at 10:00, we're okay. by the noon, 2:00 hour, showers develop in the western zones and as the storm continues across our region, we see a better chance of showers, maybe an isolated thunderstorm around 5:00, 6:00, 7:00. not a washout on thursday at all. yes, it's irma. no, it's not going to bring us any kind of wind or anything that else we have to worry about. jose, we've been saying don't worry about jose.
4:20 pm
it's not a well-organized hurricane. 75 miles an hour. a minimal hurricane but making its way eventually up along the east coast here. here it is with winds at 75 moving southeast at 7. it makes a little loop-de-loop and then it's off the coast. most models trying to bring it back to the east coast. where, when? still a lot of time to figure this out. this is something we'll watch all the way through next week. the steering current, the thing that pushes storms along, they are not existent in the atlantic. tomorrow morning, it's the umbrella. best chance of showers is around 3:00. really after 4:00, 5:00, as the kids are coming home. after that, looking good. saturday and sunday, tracking high temperatures into the 80s. but maybe a slight chance of a shower on sunday. more on this and what to
4:21 pm
as we trackh jose at 4:45. >> thanks, doug. well, with hurricanes on our minds, many of you are thinking about whether you and your family would be ready. we're working with you with some ways to prepare for disaster. >> and she goes simply by miss d. this will earn her a very special honor. >> that's what it's all

4:23 pm
4:24 pm
how prepared are you for disasters like the recent hurricanes that have devastated parts of the south? it's the flash survey on our facebook page. do you have a medical emergency preparedness kit? half of respondents say yes you do. a family allergyist is here with us. as a physician, one of the first things you'd remind us of is medication and not just having an adequate supply. >> but also having access to it. my dad lives in naples, florida, he was in wisconsin when the hurricane hit. he cannot go home for a while. you need to be able to keep on yo
4:25 pm
list of the medications, the names, the strengths and where you got them. you need to call to that pharmacy and have them transfer the prescriptions to where you are at. >> that's good information to have in your home. >> at all times. >> i can't tell you off the top of my head all the -- >> the little pill is not going to help. >> right. how about hygiene products? all of the contaminated water that we saw is a good reminder. we need to keep those supplies as well. we saw people waiting for all kinds of stuff. >> that's right. for instance, when i'm talking to dad about how it's going where he is in naples, they have no running water or electricity. you need that to keep things clean because infection will set in. hand sanitizer, of course, contact lens solution. you don't want to keep dirty solution in your eyes. feminine products and moist towellettes. have those things on hand. >> stickingit
4:26 pm
moment, i have a first aid kit. i think it has all of the necessaries in it but i'm not sure. what is in a good kit? >> this is a good time to remind yourself as we talk about these disasters to have a good kit. if you went to ready.gov, they have a nice list. things for cuts, band aids, gauze, tape, anti-septic ointments are good to have around. you need gloves, tweezers, scissors. don't forget about medications in general for emergencies. baby aspirin is a big one for asthma. an inhaler. and a blanket. one is for shock and trauma, wrap somebody up and keep them warm and what happens if the disaster has cut you off from heat and you need it to keep yourself warm. >> good point. and we know we need food and
4:27 pm
>> that's right. it's one gallon per person per day for three days. realize that if you're worried about the water quality, you can actually do it with a little bit of clorox and extra sterilize water that you get a hold of. there's also water purifier bottles you can get at camping stores and then if you want to have food around, nonperishable food, make sure you have a can opener to be able to open that. >> many people keep these things at home but you said consider keeping supplies in three places? >> that's right. think of where it is when the disasters happen. home is the obvious place. put most of the stuff in one place or at least put the check list of what you need to grab, so where is the flashlight and medication list and that kind of stuff. but at work, remember what happened with the earthquake, people ended up having to walk long distances. have a good pair of shoes at work so you can get out of
4:28 pm
this has become so much more important in our area. think of all of the people that got stuck on the beltway and 66 for hours at a time. pack your car now. water, food, a way to get to the food, can opener if you need it, blanket is very, very important because you could be stuck there with some winter problems. >> all right. great life-saving tips. >> thank you, doctor. >> leon? >> all right. thank you. worlds colliding with two rallies, trump supporters and jugalo. we are working for you to tell you what will be the biggest inconvenience as those people prepare to descend upon our city. and freddie gray's family reacting to word that six baltimore police officers won't be charged. the cultural ripple

4:32 pm
a criminal investigation has been launched at the location of where today's deaths occurred. nearly one in four homes in the florida keys is gone. >> and federal officials say another 65% of the homes there are seriously damaged. nbc's jay gray is live in the keys tonight. jay, there's got to be a shock for those coming back to the area. >> reporter: i can imagine if this was my neighborhood, my home. this storm just ravaged the keys. it ripped across from the water here and just chewed up and spat out everything in its path here. you can see pieces of homes and now theseress departmen residen overwhelming task of trying to recover and eventually rebuild here. you know, a lot of people are
4:33 pm
power right now. water is limited. food is limited. so getting back is one thing. getting to work is another. you see this slab right here, that used to be a house. i talked to billy quinn, the man who lived in that house and rode it out somewhere else and he said he needs help from washington. he wants fema to step in. he wants the owners of this property group to step in. they are the workforce in this area and want to make sure that they have the opportunity to renew what this was and what it can be. that's going to take a lot of work, pat and leon. there's so much work to be done here. the national guard is on the ground. more than 8,000 troops. they are clearing away what they can and conducting recovery missions, in some instances. after irma, mother nature delivering another vicious strike. unrelenting heat. everyone is trying to do what they can and no air conditioning and thepe
4:34 pm
is a tough go for a lot of people. this was such a massive storm, doug, i understand you're feeling the effects of it as well? yes. i talked to my family down there and they have power but no ac. a lot of buildings are getting their power back on but not the ac. they will deal with this for a while. we're going to deal with it as well. everything you see here is irma-related. you can see the moisture from the atlantic back towards the storm. now we're getting into what is called the warm sector and we are warming quite nicely with sunshine. here's the storm itself. an area of low pressure is moving our way. maybe thunderstorms during the day tomorrow. now coming up in about ten minutes, amelia will join me. we'll talk about the impact for your night tonight and day tomorrow. that and the latest track on jose. that's in 10 to 15 minutes as well. >> all right, doug.
4:35 pm
case. he died two years ago. his neck broken while being transported in the back of a police van. the family's attorney just held a press conference and deniedci not to bring civil rights charges against the officers involved. >> the gray family is understandably devastated and disappointed. they are disappointed that no one will be held accountable for their son's tragic death, which occurred while in police custody. >> troy johnson is here with today's "talk around town" and according to the lawyers of the gray family, they said that while this is a bitter pill to swallow, they are willing to accept it. you have been following this case from the beginning. >> interestingly, we've been following this since 2015, which is when freddie gray died and ther
4:36 pm
brutality cases in the news. a lot of people were upset about the situation today and they are not surprised by the decision but they are very upset for gray's family and what they've had to go through as this plays out in front of the media. people were telling me none of that explains away how he died in police custody. they say he did not break his own neck in that van. someone should be held accountable. those officers could eventually get reprimand by the police department in baltimore but we have to wait and see how that plays out. >> this case fueled a lot of protests across the country and they believe it had a lot to do with colin kaepernick not getting a job. what are your listeners saying about an nfl boycott about this? >> the freddie gray situation happened, colin kaepernick said we need to look at how oppressed black people have been in this country and that's why he took that knee. there are situation
4:37 pm
still happening around the country. we know about michael bennett who claims he was harassed a few weeks ago and a video of telling a white woman, we only kill black people. these are things still happening in the news and listeners are certainly aware of that. there are a variety of views on how to proceed with the kaepernick situation. many people telling me that they want to support the exiled quarterback but turning away from a sport they love is very tough. that was the conversation last night on "the daily drum." bernard is saying "no" now to the nfl. >> i'm a big football fan. i tried out for the redskins in 1972. i didn't watch any games this weekend. the only way this is going to change is if all of the african-american players stand up. as long as they're playing,
4:38 pm
>> there are some listeners who say they are not missing any game days this season even though they believe what kaepernick is protesting is on point. here's lamont. >> i don't agree as far as protesting the flag that represents those who serve but i do give colin credit for standing up for his beliefs. so that's a positive. i'm definitely watching. i'm a long fan of the redskins. >> leon and pat, you have divided views and still no job for kaepernick. he remains unsigned. >> things are going to get ugly. >> absolutely. >> thank you, troy. >> see you next week. it is the event that so many of you wait for. we have details about the big sale that could save you a lot of cash on stuff for your family sf . plus,
