us from the live desk with what we are learning about this crash. erika? >> hi, doreen. this is a bad crack at aquasco road and neck road. you can see this mangled mess, these two vehicles there, we understand three people were involved in this crash, but we are hearing specifically that one person was air lifted from the scene with some very critical injuries. again, this is at aquasco road and neck road there. and if you look very closely on one of those vehicles it really looks like a fire fighters went to extreme efforts to try and extract somebody from that vehicle where you're seeing quite possibly the roof and the doors cut off one of those cars. this scene in prince george's county. as soon as we get an update ton their conditions we'll have it for you here from the live desk. back to you guys. >> thank you. now to an extraordinary and up lifting moment right here in washington. >> house majority whip steve scalise returned to work today. [ applause ]

house, staff members, lots of senators, even his doctors were there to welcome him back. jay gray has our report. >> reporter: >> reporter: unbride led joy and relief spilled across the house floor this morning. >> the chair wishes to mark the return to the chamber of our dear friend and colleague from louisiana, mr. steve scalise. [cheering and applauding] >> reporter: with the help of crutches, congressman steve scalise slowly but deliberately moves to the podium for the first time in 15 weeks. >> you have no idea how great this feels to be back here at work in the people's house. [ applause ] >> reporter: there was a time when many of his colleagues wondered if he would ever be back. >> it's wonderful. it's a great day. >> reporter: 3 1/2 months after one of the darkest days in congressional history. when 66-year-old james t. hodgkinson opened fire during an early morn

baseball game, four people were hit before police shot and killed the gunman. scalise's injuries were the most severe, shot in the hip, the bullet traveling across his pelvis, fracturing bones, injuring internal organs and causing severe bleeding. >> i am definitely a living example miracles really do happen. >> reporter: scalise spoke for more than 15 minutes, thanking god, his doctors, family and friends, colleagues, and at one point turning to a capital police officer who rushed in as the shots rang out. >> you are my hero, you saved my life. >> reporter: a life celebrated by congressmen and senators, republicans and democrats. >> it really does show the warm side of congress that very few people get to see. >> reporter: unity in a place where it's been tough to find lately. jay gray, nbc news. >> what a sight. he looks pretty incredible. new developments tonight in the controversy over the private travel of health and human services secretary tom price,

reimburse taxpayers for that travel. politico first reported that the secretary flew at least two dozen times on private charter jets at a cost to tax payers of about $300,000. that's a sharp break from precedent. government employees generally use commercial airlines. president trump has said he is, in his words, not happy and he says he let price know it. earlier today reporters caught up with the secretary. >> do you still have the president's confidence? >> i think so. we're going to work through this and as i think we still have the confidence of the president. >> secretary price says he will write a personal check to the u.s. treasury for his travel, and he vows that he will not take any more private charter flights with no exceptions. but it's not clear if that will be enough to satisfy president trump. blayne aleer

blayne? >> reporter: and, jim, that is the question tonight, not once, but twice today we saw the white house essentially side step the question of whether h.h.s. secretary tom price still has the full confidence of the president. earlier this afternoon from the white house briefing room, sara huckabee sanders said they are conducting a full review of that travel, but she did make it a point to note that the white house is not responsible for that travel. now, shortly before that, president trump stopped to talk to nbc news as he was entering back into the white house from a ceremony outside earlier that day. now, estopped to talk about congressman scalise returning to congress, but watch what happens when he was asked about his h.h.s. secretary. >> price says he has your confidence. is that true? mr. president? >> reporter: now, that was president trump earlier today essentially not answering a question as to whether he had confidence in h.h.s. secretary tom price. now, of course, tom price came ou

today saying that he will reimburse taxpayers for every cent of his travel on those price. if you want to put a price tag on it, politico reports it cost $300,000 for the full charter flight. if you look at his statement, he is going to repay for his seat, his portion of that travel. a spokesperson today said that put the price tag somewhere in the area of $52,000. back to you. >> all right, still a lot of money. that was a pretty glaring walk away from the president. blayne, thanks so much. >> back here at the live desk, we are getting some breaking news. neighbors say she was holding her child when she was stabbed to death. we are now hearing from d.c. police that they have made an arrest in the case of 31-year-old paula renee coles. d.c. police have arrested 35-year-old larry fern charged him with second degree murder. this is a story that our pat collins had worked

this is very close to the maryland line. neighbors began calling police about an altercation when they opened their doors in the hallway. paula renee coles could be seen with her baby in her arms and lifeless in that hallway. so, again, this afternoon the new information in this case, we are hearing that a 35-year-old man, larry fern, now being charged with second degree murder in this case. at the live desk, i'm erika gonzalez. >> erika, thank you. a statue that has been in the district nor than a century could be removed if congress goes along with it. >> it is of albert pike and honors his work as leader of the free masons. but pike also served as a confederate general during the civil war. as news 4's tom sherwood reports, new legislation is in the works to have it brought down. >> reporter: albert pike's statue makes no mention of

his ties to the confederacy and segregation, has long called for the statue to be removed from federal park service land. washington post columnist john kelly has written about him. >> he's the only confederate general honored with a statue in washington, not for his role in the confederacy, but really for his role with the free masons. people who aren't free masons which is the vast majority of us have no idea what he really did for the free masons or what the free masons are. >> reporter: the statue sits on park service land in the d.c. hakts and was authorized by congress decades ago. >> i will be introducing a bill because the statue cannot be removed from federal property without an act of congress. >> reporter: delegate norton met today with members of the scottish right free masons who said they will not try to block the legislation. where it will go will be decided later. >> i do not believe any part of american history should be

erased, not slavery, not the civil war, and this is what this statue is about. >> reporter: people near the statue today mostly suggested it be removed. >> if it has anything to do with the confederacy, i think it should be in a museum because that's where the confederacy belongs. >> and i guess the we we have to think about now is should nonfree masons be honoring them. >> reporter: norton said she was unsure how long it would take for congress to act. in the district, tom sherwood, news 4. >> even with school back and drivers warned to keep their eyes on the road, there has been another spike in cases of distracted driving incidents. the news 4 i-team scott macfarlane is in our newsroom now with the new public records he's found. scott? >> jim, it is a spike in maryland. state police records obtained it is a freedom of information act officers stopped 26,000 drivers for distraction just this year. that's 3,000 more than this time last year and the rate is increasing this month even after school returns. last

investigation showed a growing number of these incidents are happening in school zones. we found 1400 drivers pulled over for distraction near schools in montgomery county alone last year. we also found an increasing problem on some highways, even drivers like that one texting at full speed above 70 miles per hour on the inter county connector. >> were you doing what they say you were doing, having a phone in your hand? >> yes. >> reporter: did you know it was against the law? >> no. >> reporter: you did know? >> i'm very careful. >> reporter: in virginia and maryland police say they are conducting special enforcements now to stop drivers from texting behind the wheel. in montgomery county, special details near school zones are expected later this school year. doreen, back to you. >> all right, scott macfarlane, thank you. the woman caught on surveillance video tossing urine on a bus driver is in new trouble tonight. there is a warrant for her arrest now. opal brown said she did this to

because she thought he was being disrespectful and sarcastic when he spoke to her. she was supposed to be in court today, but she didn't show up. the judge issued a bench warrant for her arrest. >> a former school aide in prince george's county will spend the rest of his life behind bars where nowhere near children. why that's just the beginning of the next phase of this terrible case. >> it is rap been more than a week since hurricane maria slammed puerto rico. that area struggling to recover. tonight some local sheriffs deputies are pitching in to help. >> and if you're still wearing flip-flops, it may be time to put them away. the real fall weather is finally here. doug? >> it is coming and coming quick. as we make our way through the next couple of days, you may actually need to turn the heater on. we'll talk about that. i'll see you back here in just a minute. high temperatures today, 81 d.c. look at pittsburgh, though, 72. a sign of things to come. see you bachere in five k

z2i1wz z16fz y2i1wy y16fy tonight we're getting a new look at the deepening desperation in puerto rico. hundreds of people stood in line for hours in the sweltering sun today hoping to get onto a cruise ship that will take them to florida. it's been eight days since the island took a direct hit from hurricane maria. today the president agreed to waive a shipping law that may have been hindering

effort. here are conditions at a for the in san juan. >> reporter: it is incredibly frustrating what has been happening in puerto rico. we have been seeing long lines of people desperate for fuel, for food, for medicine, begging us for supplies. where are the supplies in well, the supplies have gotten to the ports of puerto rico, gotten to the main port here in san juan. 10,000 containers of supplies among all the ports here on the island, and they're stranded here. why? one of the problems is there aren't enough drivers to deliver them to these devastated areas. insan juan, but also remote areas of the island. the company has 40% of the stake here at the port. they're the main company that operates here. we just spoke to the vice-president of that company and he tells us that he just needs more support from the federal government. >> the solution is much more support from e

the military presence, more workers, more equipment to clean debris and restore our electric power amongst other things. >> reporter: it is a dire situation and it is, again, just incredibly madening, frustrating to know that these supplies are here, that they're sucking up fuel, that their generators working here to keep food perishable from perishing and nobody is picking it up here. as the minute by minute frustration grows here in puerto rico, one week after hurricane maria. back to you. >> dozens of volunteers are logging long hours right here in our area trying to ship some resources down to puerto rico. virginia reporter david culver joins us now live from shchantiy where a grassroots effort is bringing strangers together. david? >> reporter: jim, i'm just in awe. the fact they were strangers a week ago, didn't know each other, and yet here they are gathering all these items they hope, as maria was showing us

people of puerto rico. let me show you everything they've gathered. diapers, canned items, soap. this was interesting to me. they have items to the police of puerto rico, some socks, clothing donated by fairfax county police. all of this they are hoping to get to the island as quickly as possible. warehouses full. strangers coming together. all desperate to help. >> i think about the children who are there, and i think a lot of people may not be thinking about that. there are babies who don't have food. children who don't have food. i can't imagine my kids not going a day without water and food, and these people are there without it for days. >> reporter: united for puerto rico, finding each other right here in northern virginia. >> through social media we started finding each other. through contacts, hey, i'm not alone in this. there are other puerto ricans that are doing

their vehicles with boxes, loudoun county sheriff's deputy, they are part of a handful of puerto rican descent working on their own time to help. >> and i think we all kind of feel the same, that our families down there and they're stuck on the island and they need help. >> you're just cut off. you don't know if they're alive, if they're not, if they're harmed, if their house fell apart. >> reporter: and this is just one of the trucks they've been able to fill. i'm looking back, about eight pallets, if not more of water. all of this is going to be taken tomorrow to andrews air force base where the puerto rico air national guard is going to be taking it down to the island. a huge effort here all by volunteers, strangers getting to know each other pretty well, jim. >> this is that silver lining we see so often. great to see. david, thank you. >> in montgomery county right now, there is a push to protect the safety of bicyclists who can't use the big chunk of capital crescent trail now that

the purple line. today members of the county council's transportation committee talked about the impact of the light rail project. they want to know if wider sidewalks, new curbs and special signs can be added to help cyclists who are now forced to use some really busy streets like jones bridge road and other alternative routes. >> letting people just find their own way is not desire tabl -- desirable in this situation. we need to find paths useful not only to bikers, but kids are taking bikes to school. there are recreational users. >> the purple line is a light rail system that will link bethesda and greenbelt. tree removal and other preparations are going on right now to make way for that construction. a representative from the team building the purple line says as soon as construction is complete, five years from now, a new and improved trail will be open for the public. >> we are following up on a story that's been getting an awful lot of attention since we first showed you this video. police took that woman off

she told them she couldn't be on the same flight with service dogs because she has a serious allergy. service animals always travel free to help people with disabilities. but this story got us thinking about your rights when it comes to air travel and pets. here are four things you need to know. the faa lets each airline create its own policy on traveling with pets. you can call ahead to learn if they're allowed. if you're worried about other travelers, animals, call a reservation agent with the airline. the agent should be able to tell you if someone else is bringing a pet on board. of course, the faa says there is always the chance you'll be exposed to pet dan der. passengers often carry it on their clothing, even if they leave the pet behind. >> now to a surprise at our newsroom today, pat lawson muse is celebrating 35 years with news 4 today. a short time ago, we surprised he
