monday with showers around and some of these thunderstorms can be heavy. i think a lot of thunderstorms are going to stay just to the west closer toen ther of circulation as we head through monday night. no we could have a small tornado as well. we tend t see this as the remnants scoot through the region. it can spin all small tornado. that will be a threat ase get rain amounts will line up along the of us will stay under an inch if you're i-95 to the east. currenttemperatures, it's comfortab he out the door. the temperature will be around 70 degrees. stray showers, peeks of sun similar to yesterday but increasing chancesaif later tonight as the storm system pushes to the west of us. so i-81 through tomorrow, possibly heavy rain, around the

d.c.etro area, we are looking at scattered showers, maybe a thunderstorm but definitel coastal flooding. moderate rain possible. and that's what they're going see tomorrow. maybe a few thunderstorms. if you're east of i-95, you'll have coastal flooding with showers for tomorrow and tuesday. temper 80s. breezy on monday and tuesday and humid but by wednesday, thursday, and friday sunny skies, still warm but no humidity. next chance of rain isir day of fall on saturday. >> i told you fall was right around the corner. >> i'm ready for it. we have reporter's note boog cop next. >> and we'll be back in 15 minutes with more of the top stories. >> hello. more than a million dolls, stealing at the mgm casino ats national harbor. security cameras caught ming jong working with partners who he would let take pictures of decks of cards he was not

shuffling. it's perhaps the biggest case in maryland since the casino program started in 2010. joining our panel this morning, scott mcfarland and chris rdon. covered this story, t angles of it. it's a big case. it makes you wonder how he was able to ge with so much money before being caught. >> if you think this is the only case of cheating in our local a scene knows, think agsin. e casinos opened in m.d. nd in 2010, there a have been least 20 cases of cheating. casinos say they'reeady for it. there's some amount of reconnaissance they do to stop cheating. than just this one individual. he's entered a guilty plea.

he'll be sentenced in january. but when you plead guilty you offer to help the inve cigation. >> y expect this kind of thing to go on in casinos but theoretically you're prepared to catch these people. >> they have the eyen the sky. they have people watching realtime live. it's amang he g away with it but i want to pick up on a point deott with 200 different acts of cheating it wasn't all at mgm. if you go back to when the casino is open, this would have to be at other casinos as well. this is probably the highestas profile and probably sends a message throughout maryland casinos that you're being watched and you'll be caught. >> we have some experience reporting on this in our state, in maryland and other stat's. ot a person, it's a team. eam t agca seen know is a sport. a person cannot singly cheat at a cayono. need help.

that's where it gets interesting becae this fbi will likely yield more people. >> for every cheater who is caught how many people do you think are getting away? >> there's a bit of a gray area what constitutes cheating. people have been c cvicted cardnting at the blackjack table. they make the argument we don't think that's cating, we think that's playing well and being strategic. the casinos have the autonomy to yank someby out and boot them for whatever reason. >> and finally, are the casinos the only lers? >> the house loses when there's y cheat but the house rar loses. this person has been caught, they say it's a million dollarsd that indl will have to make restitution. >> and that's money that doesn't go to the state of maryland. neither does theeneral fund or earmarked for education. >> was it rpre-meditated mur or an explosion of domestic violence. a jury will decide in

the trial of army staff sergeant ronald hamilton. he's charged with killingis police prince william ficer ashley gwynndon in 2016. two other officers were injured. what are the arguments we car expect to ht the trial and what's at stake? >> i was at t opening statements this week.af he is a sergeant, he's wearing his dress uniform with gold brocade and the defense says basically. argued, and his wife they were both having extramarital affairs, they say he threw her up against the wall sheshl 1 call. he said don do that, stop. but the best evidence we have is

from tir so then 11 at the time, now 13. he says he saw his father grab gun, follow his mother into the guest bedroom where she was livi and shut the door and he heard three shots and he heard nothing more. then hisather calls his sister who is in law enforcement in i've done. the cops comeo the door, the police officers of prince william county come to the doo and he gets an ak-47 at that point or an assault rifle like that and he fires. 39 shell casings are found. he doesn't even aim. and his defenseayhe was basically either overcome by emotion, he thought he was losing his military career, he was going t lose hison and he was in a panic. the prosecution says this is pre-meditated murder, he planned it, he should be found guilty of capital murder and that

qualifies for the >> scott, this was not just a tragic case of domesti violence, it struck at the heart of the police departmhat because yo not only the wife who was killed but this police officer who had just arted, was on the job. >> we interviewed the chief of police in prince william county and made clear you can't unrestimate but it underscores the risk of domestic calls, a huge componef police work locally. some calls to domesti abuse or suspected domestic violence and police will tell you those are the calls that can cause the most artburn, the most concern because they can manifest themselves into threats against the officers. >> all righty. we'l

cyber bullying has become just as big a problem in d.c. high schools a bullying in person. the i-team found there were just as many students who admit being bullied on line as there are students who say they've been bullied in their classrooms or the hallways. know this is a growing problem, scott, on high school campuses. your reviews show it's a growing problem online. tell usore about what you uncovered and were you surprised? >> very much so. let's puthe big number out there. in our entire region including d.c., northern virginia and maryland, 60,000 kidseported being bullied by their school districts. there is more cyber bullying in some places than traditional in-school bullying. the bullying happens in the playground and parking lot.

and the psychological toll it canake when you can't go home and escape a bully for portions of the day, that psychological impact is severe. there are school districts trying to address this because even if cyber bullying occurs when they're outside school ound, some of it is beginning when the kids are interacting at so schoo a proactive approach and try to stop this. one school district we talked to said they're not in the business of expelling kids for bullying because that doesn't get to the root of the problem. if they can,they'd rather set up mediation sessions negotiate by the school district to get e bullyingstopped. if you kick kids out for this, you may not be stopping the problem, y may be exacerbating. >> c most of us even imagine how horrible ts can be? >> one of the things about cyber bullying that's different than what we exper not only did the bullying happen electronically, but it happens

with a larger audience. thin this happens on a facebook platform or twitter or instagram. not only does this bully communicate a threatening message to another child, there's an audience for it. all the followers and people who watch that feed you can have an audience of thousands whereas in-school bullying can have an audience of a few. >> so the impact is magnified. >> andcehat people are coned about in maryland is do we need to have new laws to make criminal saying certain things to youth on social dia platforms. >> i'd one point about the impact. what impressed me about the i-team reporting is that it's region wide and in some cases kids are suggesting to commit suicide, and number two, region wide it hits adults, too. fairfax county fire department has a new chief. one of the problems ishat there has been cyber bullying that caused a female firefighter

to commit suicide and just before he took the job, the new fire chief was the target of cyber bullying so he has that problem to address. >> and bullying can manifest itself into adult relationshipst when you use cyber bullying constraints. when you use electronic media, social media platforms. it turns bullying into something that isn't just for kids anymore. >> so lofficials, state officials in marylandor example are being lobbied to you have toen the laws. what areriipals and teachers and counselors are they ?lling they're urn certain constraints. principals and school districts can't be in thefusiness taking electronics away from kids because that's part of the pedal process. so many curricula require kids to have uphones, to tablets. they'll use them in the workplace, let's get expience withsing them in high school and middle school so you can't take phones away but talk about bullying prevention. they can talk about what's a good thing to say, a bad thing

to say, what's the rig tone what's the wrong tone? they can teach them to be better citizen citizens battle zone involvesn young methat some . say are ruling the streets.om that's what se people are saying. 11 children killed just this year. a six-yearld girl shot in t ankle outside of her home in southeast. chris, you covered this story and the one that came on the heels of a killing of a heryear-old girl outside home in southeast. what do police say about the violence and the children for no now. well, it's what the neighboring are saying. in the poor neighborhoods of southeast and i northeast b public housing they are saying that we basicly are in a battle zone, that there are people who know who these shooters are, they know who

these tough guys, these kids are with gu, they know who is responsible for these shootings thre one, 18 years old, he went out for a soda, he was shot. we have mekhi wilson who went for icecream, she was shot. the six-year-old you mentioned coming home with her mom with oceries, she was shot. people are being caught in the problem e and it's that some say the anc commissioner of theighth word told me we need help. we need help that goes beyond current policeractices, angels, they want help. >> one of the things at happened on memorial day, manbody shot the ice cream in the ice cream truck pulling up to an apartment complex.

things like that are more than just praically impactful. they send a message that something needs to chge. a lot of energy pushed behind this effort to make shot the ice cream man on a holiday. >> a final story. montgomery county high school students are p condoms. the school board unanimous d voted to expan a pilot program so sn all 26 schools will be passing theseut to students who ask. the problem has reached a ten-year high the ansmission of stds in the county. publieing called a health crisis. this was prompte health department. four schools have wellness centers and a couple weeks ago, you can get condoms by going the wellness center. now the board of education expandedt to the remaining 20, 21 high schools by going to the nurse you can get condoms

withouty negligencotifying your parents. some parents say, you know, i understand that's an idea, a good idea for preventionul but like to be in on that process. >> there doesn't seem to be a lot of pushback, scott, and you might expect there wouldbe. >> if there's going to be boa of education or x school leaders but as chris said,rt this was imt. ses, the wellnessa procedural centers in montgomery county schools are run by the health ia department. s endeavor, you have many different layers and many different people with stakes inthis. the health department is the on his ankle. is called department if your son gets stung by a bee. the health department has equity an health officials believe this is necessary for that community. >> as of october 1 we believe all of the schools will be mp

storm rief goingn in the carolinas. >> moderator of "meet the press" chuck toddng us in studio to break it down. obviously a lot of comparisot in this p week made to hurricane maria, the death toll in puerto rico, a lot of mixed opinions depending on who you o h how he dealt with thatdevastation. what do you make of this so far? >> i don't -- the president for some rea -- it all started with just a simple question of at lessons d you take away from puerto rico t applyo the efforts in florence d he has basically not been abo put down his twitter storm since. t it, questioning the death e . a very awkward moment if a you wo fema and you're sitting here having to deal with this and being asked questions about the president says the democrat s are making up a death toll.

i think the political strugglr trying to move in the moment is that this is going to be a slow devastt'ion. >> thas far from over. >> because of the water, because of the del and rising creeks. this is going to be a continuing disaster forhe carolinas. >> and while that is going on, we've had a couple days to let the paul manafort deal with the special counsetl s in in washington and with the president and his team of lawyers. what's the expectation on how the president really is going to come out and respond? >> molette, that's a good way ot putting you sit back after you've absorbed this and you realize this is devastating for the there's no other way to look at it. devastating for donald t near t than anything. this is now an eyewitness in that infamous trump tower is coop with mueller. >> thas the biggest thing,

as we get into tonight that's when we'll see an uptick in the rain chances. we'reucot seeing out there. mostly clear skies to the north and more cloud cover to the south.s sprinkown towards charlottesville and the northern neck. widen out this view, man, this thing is massive. i just talked to a family that is in calabash, north carolina, which is rightn the line right have power. now in the new bern and also wilmington area. but this heavy rain is going to continue to push all the way through charlotte al h west virginia and eventually as we go over the course of the next two days essentlly through pennsylvania and finally out to sea but florence is now a tropical going to stay like that f

24 hours. but of course heavy rain, that rain has nowhere tgo except with that center of circulation. so here we go. maybe aho few strayrs out there today. same chances as yesterday however e makes the turn to the north tonight, that's why s we'll an increase in the rain chances lar on tonight and in through tomorrow so here comes the rain as floren continues up to the west of us. we have showers tomorrow, we'll continue with showers a thunderstorms through tomorrow during the day. some of those could be strong, bringing heavypo dos. it will be interesting. there will be a very sharp line of who has a couple inches of rain and who has less than a quarter of an inch and if you're east of i-95, g you'll less than half an inch of rain. if you are just to the west, are going to have maybe an inch or two of rain but, again, a very sharp cutoff so tomorrow during the day expect showers

and thunderstorms, even thunderstorms lining up later on tomorrow night as the dynamics push towards pennsylvania and up and finally out of here. so this is what we're thinking 60 rain i think some could be locally higher, especially through thes non doe what valley. this is going through tuesday current temperatures out there right now, 60s and70s. we'll win. >> red and yellow? >> i was looking at the graphic. listen, i don't know what show i'm doing right now. mostly cloudy skies. temperatures will be around 80. once again you can have a stray shower and the humidity will increase as we go through the a day today well. temperatures in the low 80s. better chances of rain than we have during the day. as far aor ourast for

monday and tuesday this will be the best area to see heavy rain possibly up to threenches locally and that rain will begin tonight and not end until tuesday night. fo the d.c. metro area, monday/tuesday we talking about showers. some of those could bring heavy tin and coastal flooding. we've been s ove last couple of days. areas of moderate rain possible, this area will be the line where we could have some heavier rain and that will be the sharp cutoff for some of those totals and then our soun areas, you have coastal flooding buntinuing and you have a few showers. for us, again, breezy for the nt two days, monday and even tuesday but look at this wednesday, thursday, friday, low humidi, mid-80s, looking good and fall begins on saturday hance of rain. we have more n.
