that person was richard russell. horizon air owns that plane owned by alaska airlines. >> there mighted be a pre in place if you're not a pilot or a flight attendant then you're nol wed on the plane unless there is someone who's responsible for the aircraft. >> the airline says russell h authorization to be in that part of the airport when he stole the plane. the city that bragged about inventing deep dish people. >> the u.s. pizza museum is officially open. take a lk atthis, the museum tells the story about pizza and it's.s. makers. inside g visitorset to see pizza

we're going to see some rain showers in the around andhe evening. it a beautiful morning, the southern coming up, just about 6:19, but we donave more r out there, some of these could be strong to severe, bringing heavy winds, heavy downpours, so that's what we're going to be talking about a we head through your afternoon. as we head into tomorrow, we are looking a little a dryer we get into tomorrow, current te temperatures out there right now. we are going to have more showers arountomorrow. we're not really dry until wednesday, 60s and 70s, right now we're at 75 in the district. we're going to have a few peaks of clouds throughout the day. no rain out the rightnow, maybe a little sprinkle up through northern frederick county, maryland, for the most

part we're dry at this point, expect more showers and thunderstorms as you continue out this around, temperatures are going to be in the 80s, 87 degrees will be our daytime high this afternoon. let me show you those showers possibly bore noon, but more thunderstorms popping up later on in the afternoon, some of these could reach d.c., and we'll have a chance for rain showers through tomorrow, but we start to dry out as we get into wednesday and thursday, more rain returns on friday. we have reporter's notebook up next. >> good morning, i'm pat lawsone arrod ramos faces five murder counts in the case. he's pleaded not guilty. but manyave asked why police

couldn't have intervened before the shooting when ramos has made so many threats through the year jody fleischer is with us ts morning. jody you said you talked to att localney who said he lived in fear of ramos for years. but maryland law left authorities powerful in this case. >> one of the things and he really wants to push to get this law changed in the coming session, the law defines electronic communication as being sent from someone to someone, he felt like if you post a threat onluine, that leaves a gap as to whether something mighte threatening, en you post something on twitter, you're not posting it fr somebody to s

for all the public to see. >> so that's a balance between wh is free speech or threaua >> nobody ay says this is a threat. it's kind ofbjtive. it's kind of when you look at obscenity, you know i when you see it. legislators need to take alo ha at the law and define it as to whether the victim feels threatened or whether certain language is ed, not all speech is protected speech, hate speech is not protected speech, threateningpeech is not protected speech, you just have to figure out what those things are. >> and something posted line

can be misinterpreted if it's spread out to a larger group. and they have been quite active in pushing back on some of those efforts to sort of curtail >> and as far as maryland law is concerned, there have been efforts to tighten it up to change it. where do those efforts stand? >> none of those have passed a applyff levels to to this specific issues. there's bullying laws but that applies only to minors. and the law really needs to do something to address adults that are threatened in the same w that they address kids who are threatened online. the curre police chief in anne hrundel county says they get severalts a day. they need to not only figure out whether a crime has been committed or could this person be a danger in thefuture.

that's one of the things our well,igation looks at a because it's training of law enforcement and do they have adequate training and it's very specializ there's things you're supposed to do to determine if this person will be a threat in the future. it looks like tlhere were so may warning signs, and y'everyb looking at each other going, well, he was a danger. >>e had studied the law and he bragged on his social media account about studying the law. he said this suspectt walked rip to the line without crossing it for years. >> and you look at a few years ago, the crt overturned a conviction of a man w had gone online talked about murdering

his wife, killing an fbi agent, going into a school to killth children, an major tuoverturned that conviction based on what jody jussa , as to whether it was a true and direct thrmat against somebody with the intent to carry it out. >> there are some changes that the anne arundel countyie polic wants to make. and that police chiefs across the country want to make. he actually got funding for this position prior t the parklandg shoot and the "capital gazette" shooting. in these kinds of instances where a crime has already been committed but you go have some concerns about the language you're seeing online, this person could k preading, stay in tune with what this person is

saying publicly. and then if something does appear tha worries you, you make contact about that person. >> and police generally are solving crime thatave already happened. this is asking them to look at crimes that haven't happened yet andst try t it. >> technology fa changing so that the law is running to catch . >> that man who wrote that rert, is it's a very interesting time to be in policing because you're being asked to do so much more, and it's up to the -- i mean it's a, challeyou're basically saying try to help us predict thefuture. but one thing that was striking to me, is you don't want to be looking at each other happen

something s happens a we all knew that was going to happen. >> the police and the folks at the newspaper knew he was a threat and could have pursued charges, but they dided not to. >> there's a ilittle bit of chicken and the eggnoere. ee don't what came first. we h a policeman who said he did not think tha this man was going to be a threat to the newspaper. so they mad the decision not to press charges because thaey didn't want to stir him up anymore. so you wonder what which came first, did they make that based on that assessment.

>> we'll continue our talk right after this. kids and parents don't always agree. but they both love digestive advantage kids. because the best probiotic is the ones kids'll take.d althier tummies. means happier kids. gestive advantage kids.

. surveillanc video could be of use to police in a robbery. one of those cases involve a maryland man kidnap and robbed after get into what he thought was a ride sharing vehicle. explain how this happened. well, my first thought just goes to are you checking the actual license plate? if u're saying is this the uber for mike? if they're trying to rob you,

sure, uber tor mike. do make and model match what you called? does the p licensete match? these are just sort of -- you got to be smart >> the one thing i do beyond checking the license plate, i don't offer what my name is, who are y looking for. if they can't name who they're looking for, you shouldn't get in the car. the tag is on the front of the carnd you can see the tag as'r th approaching. >>ost uber or lyft drivers drive up and say are you jody? >> you don't get into the car until you know thathe that's car for you. a montgomery county school bus driver faces a new charge of raping a student on his bus. 62-year-old is facing charges of raping a special needs

student. tell us how the camera helped them identify. >> basically this happened about 12:30 in the afternoon, he was driving a bus with studentsith special needs,e one of students had to get off. the attendant got off the bus to help this child off and police say as soons that happened, he went back to this girl's seat and she was sitting by herself atd he molested her there in the seat. helped police was the fact that this particular bus was equipped with a. came so that combined with some the drawings the girl was able to do, helped them move pretty quickl this. >> do most montgomery county school busses have surveillance cameras? >> montgomery county is outfitting all of its busses

with surveillance camera. about 1,300 have the cameras. but as reporters, sometimes we get s caught up in the resolution, that, oh, that worked, there was camera on the bus, he was caught. he's gowng through the system, but sometimes you've got to step back and when i think about t detective saying the girl drew pictures of herself with tears coming down her face, yes, tre was a resolution, but this is going to impact her for th h rest of life. >> i feel this most parents and nimost com members feel like you should stop something like this from happening before it happens. >>at is one of the reasons the camera is there. >>er the cis really only helpful as a deterrent, because you know you're beinged or

it can help determine avenfter fact. you have an extra layer of protection with twbuadults on th summer is quickly coming to an end, soon students will be back on busses and in their classrooms. food aergies and growing numbers will be dealing with the problem of food allergy llying. this is a problem we're hearing more and moreou >> because there seems to be more and more kids who are exhibiting these food which comes out to about two in every srclm. this is something that schools

all over the country are dealing with. with kid have an allergic response to milk,soy, peanuts, shell fish, we have seen some instances in california, where a boy had peanuts thrown at him. another case where some kids were bullied into being forced or intimidated to touch something that they knew they were allergit too. >> in li the numbers that chris just mentioned because that means that more children are at risk of becomctg s. >> we have seen a lot of schools taking measures like having separate tables. think about when you were in school, they share food all the

time. andome of it when the child gets oer, it's the responsibility of the child to know what you can and can't have d to say no to their friends and say i can't have that. ds are tou and they don't understand how serious something can be oftentimes. if they did understand what the consequences could be, then they probablyouldn't say, oh, just touch jthis, oh,t taste this, because it seems like kids that don't deal with that every day in their life don't know how problematic it can be. >> but as far as the parent can conce -- is concerned, mak sure y have a blueprint or a plan that the child knows about. >> if there's a risk of an an

flack tickre tion. so the schools are making tweak all the schools get, they tell the kidsheirst day, don't share your lunch anymore,'s th how we grew up, swapping, trading, theyell kids, keep your food to yourself because you don't know h other kids are going to react to it. they're doing what they can, but in a school of 600, 700, 1,200, 2,000 kids, it's tough. >> a we all know kids don't always listen to what we tell them. >> unfortunately not. >> funny that that's the case. jody and chris, thank you both. >> that's reporter's notebook, news 4 tod news4 today continues.

african-americans believed for years that donald trump is a raci racist? an think she wants to explain what took her so long and in that respect, i think she believes she was mistreated the white house and it was, and people have been unfair to her and i think this book was also an attempt t explain and say this is my side of the story. we'll let the viewers decide what they ink, who's more credible here, the trump white house or amaros at the end of the day i think it will be -- they're a fascinating pair. she admits in the book that they used each other, that they had a symbioti relationshiphe helped make that first season of "the apprentice" a suck sucess, he knows it.

and the relationsp youeel throughout the book. that's her explanation about what took her so long. gave me a lot of opportunity, thinksee what the viewer of that explanation. >> so we know obviously there's a big rally happening here, the unite the right rally, and the rt isut of town this week, but he did take to twitter and called for peace for all americans and condemned all kinds of racism and acts of ol ce? >> let's be realistic, a tweet does nothing. i mean, look i don't know if the president has the standing to be the o unifier this issue on race right now. maybe there's a time he will be. i think right now things are a bit hot and with the things he has said about the anthem prot ters inside thenfl, many in the african-american community believe that's nothing whistle.g

i don't know if there's anything he can say, i think he shoul keep trying, i don't think tweets are a good idea, it's better to get outut there, the last time he got up to the mike to talk about these things, all forms of racism,e s people are uncomfortable with that phraseology. he condemned a lot of protesters, but he did not point them out by name. right now i don't thi he has the standing that would be effective. >> if we look at this p week as well, with the president, ohio predicted, it's a place where he won really with a lot of support. now it's a lot closer, as we head into december, what can we expect with some of these democratic exposure.

>> if that is symbolic of what we're seeing, then theemrats are looking at a big night, not just a good night, but something that could be 45, 50 seats. ohio, those are the 45, 46,47 not the 26th seat that you pick up that is what i think republicans are staring at. if there's an undertoe fw might nancy pelosi. it and democrats arerying to win a whole bunch of seats. >> coming up on the show, more than amarosa. >> john kasich, who represented that district.>

the cap wouldie r congestion. by all accounts, new york is a special case, considered a megacity, and the city dispatches 80,000 vehicles a day. but according to uber, it's significantly less because there aren't as many full-time drivers. >> this is a part-time opportunity and people are doing it to supmeplement their income. >> reporter: the more options for getting around the district, the better, and free ride sharing licenses won't take the heat off the congestion in the capital. ck lauren ts with us on the studio on this sunday morning. >> is it going to get better than this? >> we may get some peaks of sunshine today, yesterday, did

you see storms where youwere? >> just some rain. i had a round of rain and t wn just -- >> yesterday, we made it to 91 degrees, i think due to this cloud cover, i think the temperatures are going to stop in the 80s, it's still going t feel hot because we have the humidity out there. kind of the same deal da yest i don't think everybody's going to see them, but we're definitely going to have some peaks of sunshine but mainly going to have some morning.ound this now i do believe it's going to be more showery throughout the day tomorrow in fact we'll have a few showers orbit and through the day tomorrow. and briy the time we get into tuesday, we'll have a chance of seeing showers and thunderstorms by t afternoon.

nothing out there right off the bat now, no rain to tk about how there across the region, temperatures right now, 60s and 70s, so it is a little on the nice and comfortable side. if maybe you're headed out to the golf course, it looks like the earlier the better. we'll have a few isolatedow s around. grab that bugspray, about a 50% chance that you're going to see them later on for your afternoon. ho few isolatedrs out there this morning, if you're going to do some yard work, you're going to have to keep an eye out to the resky, because w going to have some rain showers throughout the dayomrow, i think that will be the way to go. again, 6:30, we'll see a few isolated showers out there, that will pop-uphroughout theday, then some storms this around through this evening, ais this fter 2:00 or 3:00, and you

can see owers and thunderstorms, and some of these could bring some heavy downpours. some of this isouth of district, a lot of the dynamics are southf the district and north, i think the heaviest rain and the threator gustyinds and stronger storms will lye south. we have som stronger storms tomorrow, but widespread, and by tuesdayafternoon, more storms are possibly. expect any rain today to produce some gusty winds or heavy in have that umbrella ready for round forand keep it tuesday afternoon. temperatures are going to stay in the 80s for the next couple of days, then we have got more of days, then we have got more 90s for the end of the workw
