in hay market. >> david culver is live with new details on this developing story. david. >> reporter: wendy and jim, brand-new details. bh we were on air an hour ago, we had a bunch of questions we have answers to. let me walk you through what police are telling us in the past ten minutes or so. they say as you mentioned this started as a hostage situation. they say the house back there, you can see where police are kind of huddled in front of it, they got a call from someone in that home saying that a family member had a bomb strapped around him and was threatening them. so, they responded around 10:25 this morning. when they pulled up, police say that is when a 15-year-old came towards them with a crow bar. they say he was walking towards them and what they describe as a threatening manner. we can bring you a little closer with video we gathered a short time ago as you see the wide response of police officers here in prince william county to this neighborhood. when he came towards them with that crow bar, police say

officer fired several shots. one of them hit and killed the 15-year-old. as of now, police say that officer is on administrative leave. that's standard with these kind of investigations. meantime, i did talk to a neighborhood kid who lives just a few houses down. he says he actually goes to school with the boy. >> he was just always walking around, he kept to himself a lot. he was pretty quiet. i would see him at the pool a lot with some friends, but that was really it. but i would never think something like this would happen. >> reporter: so, police were asked the question just in the past ten minutes or so about a body camera. that obviously would help kind of tell this story and give us the details as to how this all played out. that is something that is not yet been put into practice yet here in prince william county. they are working 0 not a pilot program. they are expected to roll it out in full measure in the coming months. as of now, a lot of questions remaining that we are going to continue on seeing here and try to get tho

guys. >> one question i have, and i'm just curious about the protocol of this. if you hear that someone may have a bomb strapped to them and you don't know where, would firing on that person in any way detonate that bomb possibly? >> reporter: one thing we asked the police at the conference here was was that, in fact, a bomb? was that a threat to the community here? they say they were able to determine that it was not a bomb. so it's not clear, wendy, when they were able to make that determination. if that in fact happened before the shooting. i'm going to thereby to get clarification on that. i'll check in with the officer and try to get clarification and get back to you on that. >> this again, this is still unfolding. >> in prince william county, david thanks so much. >> we have more braking news for you, this time in st. louis, missouri, protests continue after a white police officer was found not guilty in the deadly shooting of an african-american drug suspect. prosecutors say jason stockily executed anthony smith after a chase

not agree today. demonstrators threw water bottles at police and officers pepper sprayed the protesters after this verdict. schools were closed and weekend events have been postponed there for safety reasons. >> after years of hoping, searching and speaking out, a father today is coming to the grips with a harsh reality. he now believes his children are dead and today he said their mother is the killer. the case of the hoggle children has gripped our area for the past three years now. their father spoke out today after his wife kathryn hoggle was indicted for murder. our mark segraves is in rockville with the new reaction today that this big development. mark? >> reporter: yeah, jim, everybody will recall kathryn hoggle was arrested three years ago, and has been in a mental ings institution, unable to stand trial because she was incompetent these three years. because of a court deadline today, prosecutors had to file those homicid

first time, the father of those children troy turner made what was obviously just a heart breaking admission. >> kathryn hoggle has murdered my children and i hope sara and jacob get the justice they deserve. i have held out hope that something else may have happened. as i think that any parent under these circumstances would. but it has always been the faint hope, and i know now with the passage of time that kathryn killed my babies. >> reporter: for three years troy turner has held out hope, leading search parties and speaking publicly ever since his 2-year-old son jacob and 3-year-old daughter sara were reported missing. the children's mother was arrested in 2014 and has spent the last three years in a state mental facility, refusing to tell investigators where her kids are, or what happened to them. while troy turner wants justice, kathryn hoggle's mother is hopeful her grandchildren are

>> i will still keep looking for sara and jacob. >> reporter: in 2014 she was charged with three misdemeanors, not the murder of her children. she's been in a state mental institution, found unfit for trial ever since. prosecutors faced a deadline today where she could have been released because she's only been charged with misdemeanors. so, on thursday prosecutors dropped those charges and filed new felony murder charges ensuring they could keep her in custody. as to whether prosecutors believe hoggle will be found competent to stand trial -- >> she's making progress and they have hope that she will be restored to competency. >> reporter: now, if kathryn was never found competent to stand trial, prosecutors can only hold her another five years. at the end of that five years if she is still incompetent to stand trial, she would be released. it would then be up to her to voluntarily commit herself to a psychiatric institution and remain, or to go back out on the streets. reporting live from montgomery county circuit court, mark

wendy and i were just wondering has the father who spoke out today, has he moved on with his life in terms of his relationship with the mother, are they still married? what do we know about that? >> reporter: you know, i believe they were never actually married. and i can tell you that he had nobody gets to see kathryn for these past three years except for her attorney. even her mother who was here today who you heard in the story say that she's still holding out hope told us the last time she spoke with her daughter was a year ago, and even that was just by phone. and even then they don't have much of a conversation. >> wow, that's a lot we didn't know. mark, thanks so much. we'll see you at 6:00. >> i'm erica gonzalez here at the live desk. a temporary nationwide injunction on attorney general jeff sessions' threat to withhold money of sanctuary cities for refusing his orders to impose tough immigration policies. a u.s. district judge granted

early in this morning smoke filling the air. the person inside unable to escape in time. they haven't yet identified him, but neighbors say a middle aged man lived here alone. >> real quiet nice guy. stayed to himself. he was real sad. >> he was real friendly and just to have a neighbor and then today you wake up and he's not here any more. so, it's a little depressing. it's a little shocking. >> reporter: also shocking to neighbors appear to be hoarding conditions inside. >> no, we didn't have no idea that was going on. you know, when you saw him, all he do is go to the store, come back with one bag in his hand and sometimes with grocery bags and that was it. >> reporter: all those items eventually creating a trap from which there was no way out. now, hoarding has become a common enough condition that several companies have special cleaning services dedicated for situation like this. i spoke to

compassion clean, they told me they get several calls every missou month to help clean up fires related to hoarding. in hillcrest heights, amy cho, news 4. >> a manhunt is underway for whoever put that homemade bomb on the subway train in london. this evening president trump is taking some heat for a controversial tweet he sent about that attack. leon hairs is following news. leon? >> wendy, in all 29 people were hurt. fortunately none of those injuries are considered serious. two american intel officials are telling nbc news from what they can see it appears the bomb may have detonated earlier than expected and a timing device has been located. it went off on a train during the morning commute at london's parsons green station about four miles west of london city center. witnesses say they heard a scream and then saw a flash and then moments of chaos. >> at the train station, jumping down into the stage, jumping into other

over another person. that sort of fills them up, gives them some sense of security within their own selves. >> reporter: how did 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 shift that thinking, more victims will suffer leaving families like the wallens to live in grief. >> hug your kids every day because nothing is guaranteed and we are all loaned to each other for just a brief period in time. >> reporter: if you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence, including emotional abuse, you can get help by calling hot lines in maryland, in d.c.

attacks children's brain because of of a faulty inherited genetic mutation, children progressively lose the ability to move their arms and legs, to speak and eventually it can kill them. >> the white matter of the brain is a part of your brain made up of specialized cells and they create the insulation around your nerve fibers. the nerve fibers have to travel from the surface of the brain sometimes long distans to connect with the spinal cord and connect with the arms and legs where those nerve impulses are needed. >> but the disease itself isn't the only problem. >> a lot of doctors don't know what these conditions are. >> 11-year-old eloise can stand and hear perfectly well. her motor skills are compromised. her mother and father watched the painful process over the years. >> we became acutely aware when she was 2 1/2 or so perhaps there was something a little wrong and we started doing a lot of iti

visits and doctors and quite honestly they didn't know what was going on either. >> once she was finally diagnosed with h-abc, the sloans were at least able to get her into treatment to manage her symptoms and doctors for monitoring. she has slowly lost movement and speech capabilities. >> and then we have -- >> the sloans showed us how they altered their home so she can get around easily. she found the doctor for treatment. she has identified the gene linked to h-abc and now works with a team to find a cure. >> in the last decade there's really been revolutionary approaches in how to target specific genetic changes in the body and to try to change those problems at the source. >> by using cells from affected patients, she measures rna and dna in the cells hoping to find a targeted therapy that would modify the gene that

h-abc. the doctor said because the disease progresses slowly she's hopeful she'll be able to help her and other children. the sloans say she is hopeful, too. >> everybody that meets her, her smile is overwhelming. >> she's genuinely happy. >> she does have a beautiful smile, doesn't she? despite her inability to speak or to move, she is fully present in there. she is keeping up with her grade level in school. she bought a new dress for the day that we did that interview. yeah. that's what makes it so painful to watch. >> she's in tuned in her body. >> that's what makes it so urgent to find a cure. and this genetic research is very promising. >> hopefully they can reverse it. >> hope. >> if they find it and reverse it. >> it's productive. in her corner. >> thanks,

>> thank you so much. >> well, uber, when you call in a crowded place trying to find your driver can be quite frustrating. but it's about to get easier for you at some local malls. >> plus your weekend has arrived. we all know that. is the weather going to cooperate? and what's up with hurricane jose out there in the ocean tonight? how it could impac
