people who were praying inside. then last night, more gunshots, bullets hitting bricks and the canopy above the entrance. today the pastor tells me that the members of this church will noter -- not be paralyzed from fear. >> we are not going to allow it to deter us from doing the work of god or scare us. >> reporter: take a look at the boarded up window at the front entrance of the church and you'll see a bullet lodged in the door frame. parishioners leaving wednesday night's prayer service discovered the damage and reported it to police. >> my reaction is i'm glad that nobody got hurt. i'm glad that, you know, the police are on it. >> reporter: thursday night shots are fired at the church a second time. gunfire could be heard after 11:00 p.m. coming from muncaster mill road. what appears to be bullet holes can be seen in a metal gutter and in siding over the roof to the entrance to the church. there are

just quite a moment we're having here, blayne. >> reporter: you know, doreen, for weeks now we've been watching this #metoo movement growing and growing and spreading across the country. it is certainly now here on capitol hill. we've seen these allegations hit both political parties and members say that this is certainly something that transcends politics. today capitol hill rocked by allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct against senator al franken, a democrat, and republican senate candidate roy moore. moore, accused by at least nine women of inappropriately touching, kissing or pursuing them, some while they were in their teens. in alabama, women coming to moore's defense, calling it an attack by liberal outsiders. >> i have found his character to be only one thing, and that is godly. >> reporter: kayla moore echoing her husband's defiance.

>> that's right. [cheering and applauding] >> reporter: and alabama's governor saying moore still has her support. >> what i plan to do is vote for the republican nominee, roy moore. >> reporter: but where moore is publicly denying everything, senator al franken apologetic and laying low after radio host leeann tweeden said he kissed and groped her without consent in 2006 before he was a lawmaker. >> he mashed his lips against my face. >> reporter: tweeden releasing this picture, franken touching her as she slept. the senator now agreeing to cooperate with an ethics investigation, writing, i don't know what was in my head when i took that picture, and it doesn't matter. there's no excuse. president trump, who has avoided questions about moore, tweeting about franken. the al frankenstein picture is really bad and asking, where do his hands go in other pictures? today we saw

franken staffers come to the defense of the senator. they wrote in a statement that he has always treated them with the utmost respect and has always been a champion for women. live on capitol hill, blayne alexander, news4. >> thank you, blayne. let's turn now to the weather. we have some change in the air. >> again, again. and doug says we may need an umbrella and we may need to break out the puffy coat for the weekend if we haven't. mine is already broken out a couple weeks ago, doug. >> i'll tell you guys, it depends what hour we're talking about what you need when. overnight it's just going to be the puffy coats because it's on the cold side. temperatures continue to dip. we're looking at clear skies. the camera shows the clear skies toward northern virginia. temperature wise we're at 50 degrees in the city. we have 30s already in parts of the mid-atlantic and parts of our area, too. winchester 36. we're watching for saturday showers. we'll see a good chance of shs

d.c. trisha mccauley was raped and murdered on christmas day last year. today the man who admitted to killing her was sentenced to 30 years in prison. news4's mark segraves was inside the courtroom and so were many of mccauley's closest friends. >> reporter: one by one, trisha mccauley's friends stood up in the courtroom and told the judge of their loss. many then expressing home that duane johnson, who admitted to killing mccauley last christmas day, and tying her body up in the back seat of her car, could be rehabilitated and would get the treatment for his mental illness. but they also spoke of the deep emotional scars they all carry now after losing a person who they all admired so much. >> one of your best friends is murdered and abused by a stranger on christmas day. it's a little hard to take. so, many of us have been going to the center for grief counseling. thank you to d.c. for offering

and trying to heal and move forward. >> reporter: mccauley was an actress and yoga instructor who was active in community gardening. johnson was sentenced to 30 years in prison with no chance of early release. his defense attorney told the judge that johnson had been sleeping on the streets the days before the murder because he had been discharged from a psychiatric facility due to lack of insurance. >> we hope that the d.c. court system and social services system will improve its mental health services to folks on the streets. >> reporter: mccauley was on her way to christmas dinner with friends when she was murdered. >> with the holiday season coming up, many of her friends and loved ones will be gathering together as we go by the one-year anniversary of her murder. >> reporter: in the district, mark segraves, news4. >> big drama in a small virginia town. >> what we are just learning about this mysterious raid at a home furniture store. >> allegations of a toxic work environment inside the l

is a bully. tonight the i-team has the impact it's having on a quiet community. >> plus nbc's andrea mitchell joins us next as we take a deeper dive into the political conduct rocking the halls of government. >> we continue to follow the breaking news in new york, a massive fire fight now stretching into friday night. an apartment building in upper manhattan not far from yankee stadium and the broncos line has been burning for three hours now. more than 200 fire fighters are on the scene. no reports of any injuries. stay tuned to news4 and the nbc washington app fo

and it's not good for me, believe me. >> president trump has said it more than once, that the republican tax plan will cost him money. but an nbc news analysis suggests just the opposite is true. based on mr. trump's leaked tax return from 2005, he could save more than $20 million under the house bill passed yesterday, and his heirs stand to gain more than a billion dollars. that's just one of the stories making political headlines this week. >> and it's been a week with a troubling theme. you can't seem to escape the politics of sexual misconduct. more women accuse senate candidate roy moore of inappropriate beor

in the process. >> democrats take a different approach when senator al franken is accused of misconduct. >> and president trump, who once bragged about grabbing women's crotches and calling it locker room talk, slammed franken but was silent about moore. >> andrea mitchell sitting in for chuck todd as moderator of meet the press, let's start with roy moore story. republican leaders don't want him in the race but they don't seem to be able to do anything about it. >> and, in fact, today his wife came out strongly rejecting what they called out of town washington talk, and interference, ignoring the fact that some of these accusations -- all these accusations against roy moore come from alabama women. a lot of people in alabama do find them credible. i've spoken to women down there, republican women, who do find their accounts credible. and also the most prominent alabama newspaper found two of these accusers thlv

and the washington post, by all accounts, did a really meticulous job on it. but there is a real resentment there against outsiders, against what they consider mitch mcconnell's interference, a kentucky senator who they see as all washington. so, a lot of the voters down there saying this will have to be decided by the alabamians themselves. the president hanging back and not jumping into this one the way he did with al franken. >> with both feet on al franken in most cases. when you look at the contrast between what happened with the republicans and the democrats when al franken, the allegations came out about him, he basically admitted to it, apologized for it. you didn't hear the democrats come out and defend him and use that sort of language about, if true, they basically condemned him for what he did and now talking about having an investigation. but that also then sort of dragged in the spectre of the bill clinton allegations from years past. the question that a lot of us

we're at right now, this #metoo moment becoming something of a crossroads for the democrats at least. >> it is. and the fact is it started, as you know, in hollywood, the harvey weinstein, then kevin spacey. it spread to others, including our own industry. and now ground zero is in politics. in alabama, and on capitol hill, and you're hearing from prominent women, from jackie spear, the congresswoman from san mateo, california, real ill leading the way, among other members of congress, senators as well. the senators, you're so right, leon, they just jumped on al franken within a half hour. i was anchoring my show at noon and from the minute it hit, they were all over it, chuck schumer and others said there should be an ethics investigation, as did al franken welcoming that. and now today, an apology personally to his

acknowledged victim which she read on live television on the view. they have taken a very different approach, and the fact that the president was tweeting against senator frankenstein or franken stein, going after him, as you say, with both feet, really shows the dichotomy here. and the white house is very much on the defensive. >> i want to switch to tax reform. well, yeah. >> we do it all. >> which subject is more touchy right now? i'm not sure. the small victory, the passage in the house. but does this -- can this consulting happen by the end of the year as we are hearing, or is that impossible? >> it is so hard to predict. the house victory is a big victory, but they have quite a big margin so there was a lot of room for error. they lost some of the people from high tax states who were concerned their constituents are were basically going to be hit hard. they're going to lose that

californians, the illinois representatives. now it's in the senate. it's come out of the finance committee a very different bill. this one includes the repeal of the individual mandate, which under -- the financial underpinning of obamacare. so, they've already lost susan collins most likely, senator murkowski is still holding her council. she just put out a statement saying she won't decide until after thanksgiving. she wants to study the bill. she has alaska oil drilling benefits in there. she's got some, perhaps divided loyalty. so, they can only afford to lose two senators, two republican senators if the democrats hold firm which so far they have on a lot of these big issues. >> and ron johnson said he can't vote for it. >> he's against it, but he's gettable if the president per swads him perhaps small business owners will get some better treatment in conference if they're come premiezing the bill. it's a long way to g. it is a very narrow margin of error in the senate. will heet

gift? i kind of doubt it. it's hard to satisfy all of these, all of these constituencies. i personally think that by putting health care into the senate bill, they made it more complicated. >> absolutely, absolutely. >> andrea mitchell, we look forward to seeing you on sunday. >> thank you. it's great to be here with you guys. >> we're glad you could join us. >> we are going to have plenty to talk about this weekend. that's for sure. all right. >> andrea fills in sunday morning at 10:30, meet the "press:here" on news4. we showed you the images when they went viral. tonight the story behind the lens told from the photographer who captured this moment. >> and a routine stop on metro turns out to be anything but routine. see the police uncovered after arresting a man for refusin

9 degrees. ice in national harbor opening this week, you knew i wasn't talking that. this is one of the cool est places of the winter holiday. just amazing, this year's theme down there on ice, rudolph the red nose reindeer. i love to take my kids down there of course. that was the capital wheel down there as well. also you can see down there at national harbor. those are the artisans right there. they come from china. they make these over the course of a couple of months. that's how long it takes to make these figurines. i love to take my kids there. even if you don't have kids, this is a really cool place to be. all right, 9 degrees there, that's the way they keep the temperature for us. 50 degrees, we're a lot warmer today. winds out of the northwest at 3 miles an hour. temperatures falling quickly. 36 in winchester, 39 frederick, 37 culpepper. we are going do see those numbers continue to fall fairly quick as a result of dry air and clear skies out there. the winds have been a lot lighter this evening than last night. fa

no rain out there. we are seeing some clouds back to the west, but not yet. these clouds are going to move in overnight tonight as the warm front moves in across our region. that is going to set et stage for rain that develops. in chicago, thunderstorm activity. the storm itself moves our way tomorrow. now, tonight nothing -- no problem. right on through 7:00, 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, 11:00. going out to dinner tonight, dress warmly. other than that, no problem. the umbrella needs to come out tomorrow morning. here we are at 7:00, still dry. notice by 10:00, there is shower activity for just about everybody. we've got about a 40 to 60% chance of rain early tomorrow morning. but then it gets out of here by around 2:00, still seeing a few showers, and then we get a little bit of a break in the afternoon. if you're heading out on your saturday night, i think you're going to be okay early, but if you're staying out late night, past say 10:00 or 11:00, look what happens. here comes the cold front. we get a good round of showers and the wind begins to pickup. we could see winds easily with th

of 40 miles per hour. much colder air coming in tomorrow night, into the day on sunday. i have a high on sunday of 55, that means falling temperatures during the day. by 4:00 in the afternoon, 5:00 in the afternoon wind chill will be in the 30s. little deceptive. 57 on tuesday. tuesday looks like the best day out of the next ten. that's at 57 degrees about average. thanksgiving gets a little cool again, but not frigid. not a bad thanksgiving holiday. right now traveling for wednesday, thursday, friday time period looking pretty good. at least local. >> thank you for that. appreciate it. >> law and disorder, the i-team looks into complaints about possible chaos in our local sheriff's department. >> and why some former deputies say their boss's behavior is driving some officers out in droves. the impact that could have on your safety. >> middleburg, virginia, it is a quaint and quiet small town. not today, though. federal agents spent eight hours going in and out of

they have always been an important part of our business community since they've come here. >> reporter: that only adds to the mystery. why all this activity? whatever the reason, locals hope it quickly fades. >> we're hoping that it, you know, wraps up soon and we can get back to the normal little sleepy village that we try to be. >> reporter: we did reach out to the store owners as well as federal authorities trying to get more information about this investigation. we didn't hear back from either. as for the store in and of itself, it sells exotic home furnishings. when you go to the website you'll notice just how out there some of them are. you're looking there at crocodile suitcases. we mention that because it may tie into why the u.s. fish and wildlife service was here in the first place. the i-team has recently spent some time with them. we know that that agency often looks into and cracks down on illegally imported animal items. that's the latest here in middleburg, virginia. i'm david culver, news4. >> very curio

have grown by hundreds, even thousands of dollars a month, and they can no longer afford to pay. they all understand the project to stop sewage and stormwater from flooding our rivers is necessary. some residents just don't know how they'll pay for their bills. >> i can't stop this rate from increasing. there is nothing i can do. if i stop running the water, the bill would keep going up. >> we're not asking for an exemption, a free ride. we're perfectly willing to pay our fair share. we just want some equitable treatment for us. >> reporter: the council is considering legislation to lessen the burden for cemeteries and today they also talked about lowering the fees for churches and other nonprofits with hardships. but if that happens, other customers would have to make up the difference unless the district or federal government agrees to fund it. now, taking away the exemption for d.c. roads could bring in an extra $35 million a year. and as of now, those fees are projected to keep going up every year through 2030, and remain in those bills indni

in the weeks after doing so, his chair was empty at county meetings including his public safety committee. we were turned away at sheriffs headquarters. and when we stopped to speak with him for a county halloween event, he drove away in the opposite direction without stopping. >> i as chairman do not have any control over him. >> reporter: we did track down the other top official in the county, jack frazier, chair of the county of supervisors. any concern about the turnover? there is an enormous amount of turnover. i suspect it's come to your attention. >> not really, not really. at the beginning of his -- at the beginning of his term, yes, there was. i mean, it's normal. also, if you check, you know, other area sheriffs -- >> reporter: we did check. the i-team pulled staffing records from several virginia sheriff's departments and found the turnover rate was significantly lower than in culpepper county. why did you leave? >> because of him. >> reporter: in neighboring fauquier county, a similar number of
