around here vacant and homeless people sleep in. >> reporter: his siding was damaged when the house next door went up in flames. he said his concern is much greater. >> i don't necessarily agree with sleeping in houses but people need somewhere to sleep. i'm sad that this is the result of it. >> reporter: people who live on this street tell me they saw young men going in and out of this house, but again at this point we can't begin to guess who was inside of this house. it's going to take an autopsy for them to figure out the sex and the identity of the people who died inside. coming up on news4 at 6:00, the city of seat pleasant is aware they have an issue with these empty houses. what they are doing to try and take care of that problem. reporting live in seat pleasant, i'm tracee wilkins. back to you all in the studio. >> thank you, tracee. president trump's former campaign chair will remain under house arrest for now. paul manafort and his long-time business associate rick gates back in federal court this afternoon. the pair was indicted this week as part of special counsel robert mueller's investigation into russian

2016 election. manafort and gates are both charged with money laundering and other federal charges before manafort joined the trump campaign. the judge said she expects a possible trial to start in april rather. >> and only on news4, a man am who pled guilty to making an assassination threat against president obama is back in custody. the news4 i-team has learned the man violated parole, disappeared for weeks, undetected by authorities. scott macfarlane joins us to explain how that happened. >> wendy, he made it thousands of miles away by bus, came face to face with police and disappeared again. his name is jonathan smead, 35 years old from ohio. smead admitted phoning a threat last year to kill president obama and hillary clinton. the feds say he referenced former assassins john wilks booth and lee harvey oswald during that call. five years probation, no prison time, but ordered him to remain near his home in cleveland to

undergo drug tests as well. an arrest warrant obtained by the news4 i-team said he violated troe bags, traveled by bus to washington near seattle to meet and stay with a woman there. she called the cops to get him out. they found him drunk and brought him to a hotel, according to the arrest warrant, but there was actually no arrest in washington state. the arrest warrant said smead then went missing for weeks, failing to show up for mandatory drug tests and mandatory meetings with court officials. we are checking with that seattle area police department about why they released smead and about whether they ever ran a background check on him. we do know he was arrested monday by u.s. marshals sent to the d.c. jail. a recent news4 i-team investigation found white house security threats don't always kwleeld prison time. nearly two dozen people arrested for breaching security at or near the white house have since been freed or never served jail time in the first place. leon. >> all right, thank you, scott. threatening or just plain st

reactions tonight to a message posted at a high school in maryland. news4's kristin wright is in silver spring sorting through the confusion. kristin, can you straighten it out for us? >> reporter: i'm told the school resource officer here at blair is keeping a close eye on things. besides that, the school is saying they don't want to give whoever did this what they want, and that's an overreaction. will speaks is a senior at blair. he's got friends of every color. >> we all kind of think the same in terms of it's okay to be whatever you can be who you are. >> reporter: and like the signs say, will agrees it's okay to be white. but someone putting up the fliers around the outside of blair is plain stupid to him. >> well, i mean, why would you put it on the school in the first place? like, i mean, of course everyone knows it's okay to be white. >> reporter: these two students worry the signs could mean trouble. >> it looks kind of threatening. >> i feel upset and i fe

>> reporter: the confusing logic is spelled out on a website, making the rounds. it's some kind of call to action to put up "it's okay to be white" fliers to get a big reaction. blair's principal isn't taking the bait, saying in a letter home in part, montgomery blair is a very smart diverse and inclusive community and we will not fall victim to attempts to divide us. will says the signs will only unify him and his friends. >> i'm really concerned that maybe they were trying to build racial tension at the school, but i don't think it's going to work. but it's very diverse and we have a lot of people who are willing to look past the meaning of it. >> reporter: the school reported the signs to police. i talked with police. they are telling me they did document the incident just in case, but that there is no real crime here. so, wendy, now the school is looking over security footage. back to you. >> all right. kristen wright. thanks,

is getting blasted on social media this afternoon for a remark he made here in washington talking to chuck todd. during an interview today with nbc's chuck todd, perry said that fossil fuels can prevent sexual assault. he talked about a young girl from africa who told him that energy was important to her because she reads by the light of a fire. a fire that gives off toxic fumes. but he pivoted from that statement to a topic of sexual assault. and then he linked a lack of electricity and light with the possibility of violence at night when no one can see. critics say sexual assault can happen any time anywhere, day or night. >> that's a bit of a head scratcher making it turn like that. all right. >> could it say it's like a scarlet letter, a badge of shame? registered child sex offenders will now be identified as such on their passports. the state department will begin revoking passports of registered child seconds offenders requiring them to a

new one, one that now will carry a unique identifier of their status. it will be a notice printed inside the back cover of the passport book that will read, quote, the bearer was convicted of a sex offense against a minor. this will not prevent anyone from leaving the u.s. or affect the validity of their passport unless a specific country prohibits or has restrictions for convicted felons. it is aimed at cushing child exploitation and the child sex tourism rings. >> this evening, one person is in custody in connection with a double homicide in frederick county. chopper 4 above acacia court. they found a man and woman dead in the street here. investigators tell our news partners at wtop they believe the person they have in custody hit the pair and then ran them over with their car. they say everyone knew each other. but at this point they have not named the victims or the person

>> a moment of silence about an hour ago on the house floor remembering the victims of that terror attack in new york city this week. this as we learn more about the suspect's plan. that attack possibly in the works for more than a year as andrew sift from our sister station in new york reports that the suspect seemed proud of what he accomplished as the families of the victims are trying to cope with their enormous losses. >> reporter: with the bike path reopened, a police scooter marked interceptor 2 parked in the middle and a growing memorial with cards and flowers drew new yorkers like mary dato. >> just paying my respects. it's very emotional, and too much. >> reporter: the reopening of the path and west street made lower manhattan look closer to normal two days after the truck attack. >> we pray for the victims. >> reporter: today as a group of inter faith ministers prayed, mayor de blasio and school chancellor carmen

visited stuyvesant high school where students sheltered in place for three hours during tuesday's ordeal. >> they said they had great faith that the adults in the building, all the folks who were there to protect them, were doing that. >> we knew as much as everybody else did because we were watching the news updates. so, we were aware of what was going on. >> we didn't realize the magnitude of what happened. >> reporter: and the resiliency of new yorkers may be best summed up by what one victim did. despite being injured when the terrorist slammed this school bus, a student on board, despite getting hurt, went to school the next day. >> went to the hospital, he was released. he wanted to go home. and what he told his mother is that he had to go to school because he was working on a 100% perfect attendance. >> reporter: back here at the intersection where all this happened on tuesday, you can see that small police vehicle known as the scooter. it is serving as b

coming days, new york city and new york state will be pardoning 57 access points along this bike path in greenway. they'll be using concrete jersey barriers, concrete cubes. many of those will be temporary until a more esthetically pleasing solution to provide safety can be developed. i'm andrew in tribeca. sending it back to you. >> it's a crime of opportunity that we recently warned you about and it's happened again. crooks taking garage door openers out of unlocked cars and getting inside homes. ahead here, find out what happened when one of those crooks came face to face with the home ener. >> also tonight, the gop releasing its plan for tax reform. susan hogan with four things you need to know about this proposal. >> and the nats introduce us to their new manager. doug. >> let's hope we can bring us all the way. now, as far as temperatures go, take a look at high temperatures. 76 d.c., 77 fredeks

a beautiful afternoon on our thursday. friday, we could be near record high temperatures. saturday, not anywhere close to that. much different forecast for yrou

people ask you, how can ayou possibly do this?e, and we say, how can we not? if these kids go through what they go through, we can support them. dr. ralph northam has been our volunteer medical director for the last eighteen years. he's made such a difference in so many families' lives. ralph northam: these kids have given me more than i could ever give them. and i wanna make sure that every family in virginia can afford good healthcare when they need it.

mark herring: my mom to provide for our family. at one point, she got fired for of all things -- getting married. that was a lifelong lesson for me: when people are hurt, you need to stand up and do something. and i've never forgotten that as your attorney general. whether it's protecting veterans and seniors from shady debt collectors, or cracking down on gangs and drug traffickers, i have one guiding principle: do what's right for people. i'm mark herring, candidate for attorney general, and i sponsored this ad.

the thief strikes while the family is sleeping. it's a crime of opportunity that we first warned you about last month and now there is a new case. this one in loudoun county again, and the target, a house on bush wood court. our northern virginia bureau reporter david culver is live in ashburn with a warning for our entire area. david? >> reporter: wendy, inside a home, a place where many of us feel safe and secure, right? meantime, outside this is what's happening time and time again across our area. right, you've got the suspect opening up an unlocked car, pulling out that garage door opener, clicking the button just as easy as that, and then walking through the garage. now, most of us feel like since the garage door is closed we don't actually have to secure the door that takes us from the garage into the house. so, we leave it unlocked. well, that's the door that these thieves are then just simply opening up and walking right

feel so comfortable. all of a sudden, we're now vulnerable. in this case, the thief walking in, photo journalist sean casey. but in the case that happened overnight, we can take you to bush wood court not too far from here in sterling, it was an instance that was all too carry for the homeowners who live there. 3:00 in the morning their dogs woke them up. they found a man upstairs holding a jar of coins. one of the homeowners chased that man out of the house. the homeowner himself got hurt because the suspect even tipped over a chair while trying to get out. given that this happened in the middle of the night, the sheriff says this could have escalated to much worse. >> it certainly puts any homeowner in danger because you don't know what somebody that accesses your house may do. they may try to assault you, they may try to do something along those lines. >> reporter: so, the sheriff pushing what's called the 9:00 p.m. rule here in loudoun county. and they've been pushing that out each and every night. at 9:00 at night, they're

check all the windows, all the doors around your house. don't make it so easy for the crooks, right? and also bring in the garage door opener like you're taking your keys out of your car. take the opener with you. bring it inside until the next morning. leon? >> all right, good advice. thank you, david. on capitol hill now, republicans touted their long awaited tax proposal they view as a legislative must pass. this would be the first major revamp our country's tax system in three decades. it overhauls personal and business taxes for typical family of four, the gop says their plan would mean a cut of about 1200 bucks a year. and they say that filing could happen in a postcard size form. something the president showed his support for this afternoon. [ laughter ] >> this is a middle-income tax reduction and it's a very big one. >> we can't say i'll give the middle class a crum or two, give almost all the tax breaks to the rich and powerful and have

>> president trump says that he wants a bill on his desk by thanksgiving. who knows if that's possible or if it is even happen. but if it does, consumer reporter susan hogan is here to breakdown what this proposed tax cut could mean for you and your family. susan? >> all right, leon. so, there are four things to know. we will start with the biggest change for you. house republicans plan to collapse the number of tax brackets going from six to four tax rates. the lowest, 12% would apply to people making under 90,000. 25%, which would start at 90,000 for married couples, 35% would affect families bringing in at least $260,000, which means people who make a bit more money would face higher taxes. and finally, 39.6% which would be the top tax tier, individuals making $500,000 and couples earning $1 million. now, there's another big change. now, this tax plan is going to cut the cap

so, pull that, not working. i try every time. so, 500 -- thank you. $500,000 compared to the current deduction, $1 million for current homeowners, that -- thank you. that would definitely hit homeowners in our area because of the high cost to own here, as you all know. you can certainly feel. this tax plan would nearly double the standard deduction to $12,000 for individuals and $24,000 for couples. that means fewer taxpayers would itemize deductions like mortgage interest. and finally, the family tax credits, this is what a lot of people really want to hear, especially me because i have a large family. republicans want to increase the per-child tax credit from $1,000 to $1600 and extend it to families earning up to $230,000. you can read a lot more about this in regards to the tax overhaul plan on our nbc washington app. you just want to search tax

deduction. see if they keep that in there. >> got to be rough with that. >> i guess. i don't have the magic touch. i'm a left hander, too. >> it's tough. >> you have a triceps workout. >> that's right. >> thank you, susan. >> you got it. >> all right. >> one month after a violent attack at a bus stop, get this, detectives get a clear image of the suspect and they got this by using his dna. >> fascinating. plus, if you've been outside, you may be enjoying it, but don't get too used to it. doug is back with more on when we're going

independent press says they're false. fear mongering. absurd.

and was an army doctor for eight years. in richmond, dr. northam helped pass longer sentences for gang members and mandatory life sentences for violent sexual predators. ralph northam: i'm ralph northam, candidate for governor, and i sponsored this ad because i'm a pediatrician, and for ed gillespie to say i would tolerate anyone hurting a child is despicable.

well, it was a delightful day. it was kind of nice having a little bit of warm weather come back. it wasn't hot and sticky. >> no, we don't get too sticky this time of year, thank goodness, because tomorrow we're

getting close to a record. the record high temperature is 80. i wouldn't be surprised if we got there. we're going for a high of 78 degrees tomorrow. you know it's going to be a warm one especially for this time of year. but it's only one more day of really warm weather, then we start to see things go downhill temperature wise at least. right now plenty of sunshine, really nice, few clouds you can see them off in the distance. temperature wise we're sitting in the 70s, 71 degrees now at the airport. that wind has shifted just a little bit off the water. that has cooled things down around the river. again, the river potomac always a little cooler. notice surrounding temperatures 75 still in manassas. 73 in leesburg. this number may go back up if we shift it a little further from the west to get that that round the airport. as far as rain is concerned, no rain, not going do see any rain any time soon. we do have a system, though, that's going to be making its way our way. the wider picture showing a lot of clouds back to the west and this cold front, we're going to track this cold front as it moves on through the area during the day tomorrow. now, most of tomorrow will s

evening watch out there. 72 on sunday, another warm one. look at monday, up to 74 degrees before things go back downhill. and we stay in the 50s almost all next week. good chance of shower activity monday, tuesday, and wednesday. and it does look like we'll stay in the 50s, chilly, some of the coldest air of the season next week into the weekend. average temperature this time of year 63 degrees. we have a couple above and we've got quite a few well below. we'll talk much more about this in events coming up this weekend. we'll see you at 5:45. >> you got it. 90 videos, thousands of images. ahead the new revelation telling what else investigators found inside the rental truck to mow down people on the new york city bike path. >> a new crime fighting tool that is raising questions. how investigators are using dna to create photographs of suspects. and why you may be paying for it. >> and contest ants at a beauty

associate of saipov's. there were communications between the two that investigators were interested in. they weren't necessarily nefarious communications, but still they had had some contact over the last week or so. and they just wanted to get a little bit of a better handle, excuse me, on who he might have been and did he know the suspect. right now there is nothing to indicate that he's somebody who is going to turn into a suspect or somebody that helped out in this attack. in fact, the n.y.p.d. says they believe right now that saipov acted alone in carrying out this attack that killed eight people. what we know about him is he was talking to investigators not too long after he was in condition to do so at the hospital. they read him his miranda rights and he acknowledged that. and he just started talking about the plot. to what you are talking about before, he wanted to drive down the west side of manhattan and then continue on to the brooklyn bridge area where there is obviously a tremendous amount of

tourists and a lot of people that are in either businesses or city government there. so, he did plan to continue this attack. obviously we know it stopped on the west side just a few blocks north of the world trade center and so that's where things ended. >> all right. so, where does this case go? president trump said he wants this man in guantanamo bay and now quick action in death penalty. with these charges, where does it go? >> right now, leon, it's going to continue along like any of the terrorism cases that we've seen over the past several years. you might say that it might track closely to the case of johar saynayov. they expect a criminal complaint. we expect in the next several weeks to be a criminal indictment in the case. at least one of the charges yesterday was death penalty eligible. that's what the government calls it. they'll make a notification that says if they decide to, that we will go after the death penalty in thise.

say. and at that point we'll know that they'll move towards that as a possible sentence or a possible outcome should he be proven guilty in a court of law. >> we'll see how long that takes to figure out. nbc's tom winter. thanks for joining us. folks, we invite you to keep it here for all of the latest developments out of new york ahead of nightly news. that's coming your way with lester holt right after news4 at 6:00 tonight. >> the contest ants at a beauty pageant in peru introduced themselves by giving the size of their bust, their hips and their waist. but this week the miss peru pageant used the opportunity to side a different statistic. one that mattered. they announced the number of crimes against women in peru. murders, domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, harassment, all those numbers. and then during the bathing suit competition, the women walked in front of a video screen that showed headlines of crimes against women that had made the news.
