prince william county police say it started this morning with some type of confrontation outside a home in hay market. >> investigators say several shots were fired. david culver live on the 6800 block. david, what are you learning right now? >> reporter: leon, we can see behind me a lot of the activity still going on here. and above you can hear some of our chopper that is flying by right now, chopper 4 other. i'm going to show you those images in just a moment. let me show you a sooeb from the ground here. yo you can see they have a lot of this blocked off. this is a town home community. according to neighbors, a normally quiet calm community. and this all broke out around 10:25 this morning. we'll take you a little bit closer with this video we were able to feed in a short time ago. this started at 10:25. as you mentioned, some sort of confrontation as police put it, an altercation between an officer who responded, still not clear why the officers initially responded. and a 15-year-old. we know that that ended with

the officer opening fire and killing the boy. now, i have asked some of the neighbors around here what they know of this teen. apparently he went to battle field high school. that is all we have now. we don't have a name or identity. it is not clear what he was doing at home at 10:25 this morning. we have to remember school is back in session. you may be able to see now from chopper 4, we'll give you a live look above the scene here. you can see how wide it expands. right into this neighborhood. a lot of it is remaining blocked off to people who are trying to get through. they simply have to either parka long the street and walk in. i want you to hear now from the spokesperson with the police department, officer nathan gives us a little more insight. >> he did live in this area. he whats a resident. in fact, the incident occurred outside of his home, which is in this block right here. >> reporter: all rit.

his home right there. we're going to continue to ask a lot of the questions that i know you guys are asking, and that is what sparked all of this and why gun fire. those are things that we're looking into. one of the questions i asked police is was the teen armed? they couldn't answer that as of yet. we're working to get that answer. we'll work for you and make sure we have that before too long. for now, leon, pat, we'll send it back to you. >> all right, you got it, david. we'll let you get back to it. let us know the minute you learn something there. now first at 4:00, after years of holding out hope, a father now coping with a heart breaking reality. >> his children are likely dead and he believes his wife is the person who killed them. >> kathryn has murdered my children. >> prosecutors indicted kathryn hoggle for murder yesterday. today the children's father speaking out for the first time since the indictment. mark segraves is in rockville with the stunning turn in this 3-year-old case. mark? >>ep

pat. we're herein side montgomery county circuit court. normally the prosecutors charge kathryn with two felony counts of murder but that is not the headline today. it is the father's reaction. you'll know troy turner over the past three years has done everything to try to keep this story alive, leading search parties, talking to the press, even meeting with the mother of the children, plead ing with her to tell them what happened. but today he admitted in this courtroom, in this very lobby, that even he has given up hope. here's what he told reporters. >> everyone who has reviewed this agrees kathryn murdered sara and jacob. i am sure a jury will agree and i hope sara and jacob get their day in court. >> reporter: now, kathryn was arrested three years ago and only charged with three misdemeanors in the disappearance of her children. since then she's been in a mental facility found incompetent to stand trial. today the judge accepted two new

prosecutors brought this today because they said otherwise they would have had to release her because of a state law in maryland that says you can only hold someone on a misdemeanor for three years if they are mentally incompetent. so, today they dropped the misdemeanor charges and charged kathryn hoggle with two felony counts of murder. prosecutors also said they believe the children are dead. the grand mothers of the children, however, believe that those children are still alive. now, kathryn hoggle will be sent back to that mental facility for yet another evaluation where she is being treated. prosecutors hope that one day she will be able to stand trial, but they cannot hold her for an additional five years. now, again, the grandmothers, both paternal and maternal grand mothers believe that those children are still alive. they are asking us to show this computer an mated picture that shows what those children might look like today if they are still alive in the hopes that somehow they will be found. that's the very latest reporting live from montgomery circuit court, mark segraves,ew

>> all right, mark, we can only hope they will be. the murder of laura wallen, a pregnant high school teacher, has been difficult for people all over our area. it's also brought new attention to the area of violence against pregnant women. news 4's kristin wright talked with an advocate who helps protect victims from their abusers. >> reporter: laura wallen was excited about the baby. her father told me today she was having a boy. but the teacher from olney was murdered. her boyfriend is charged. her family says they never saw signs of domestic violence. >> maybe it wasn't physical violence, but that doesn't mean that there wasn't some type of controlling behavior. >> reporter: the d.c. coalition against domestic violence is paying close attention to the case. policy director dawn dalton says pregnant women are far too often vulnerable to violence. >> it's about power and control. one person wanting to have power over another person. that sort of fills them up.

security within their own selves. >> reporter: how does that escalate to murder? >> i wish we knew what the equation was, you know. then we could stop it. but unfortunately i think that we as a society aren't talking about the reality of domestic violence. >> reporter: dalton says until we see that shift in thinking, more victims will suffer. in the district, kristin wright, news 4. >> i'm erica gonzalez at the live desk he can. just in the last few minutes, the terror threat level in london has been increased toe very highest level, critical. meaning another attack is expected shortly. this after this morning's attack on a tube, the subway there. londoners say it was absolutely chaos. moms asking where their children were, hundreds of people pralkt cli trampling over one another to get to safety. british police are rushing to fi t

part of the reason it's so bad is what's on the inside. you can't see it from here, but inside that house are piles of books and papers several feet off the ground. fire fighters call it excessive storage, it's also known as hoarding. fire fighters say it's much tougher and more dangerous to get inside a house that's packed with clutter. assistant fire chief told me it's like wading through quick sand. this morning there was only one person home during the fire. they were able to get through the basement where that person was. sadly that person had passed away. fire fighters are still trying to identify the victim. neighbors tell me the owner of this house lived here alone. they say he was a middle aged man and he mostly kept to himself. >> he usually just come home from work, he speaks and waves hello, how are you doing, and just goes about his business, go in the house.
