5:05 pm
is happening. and is the station now closed, so people cannot come or go there? >> well, it would not be going into there, because there are no trains, service in there right now, so closed in the respect they're letting people out. but you won't be going down there to get on the train right now the obvious situation we're told. >> all right, tom fitzgerald, reporting live on the breaking news, we will continue to keep you updated on that throughout this broadcast. >> meanwhile, we want to take to you prince george's county now man who killed his stepfather has been sentenced to ten years. >> antoine james found guilty last september of involuntary manslaughter for killing his stepfather, who was metropolitan police detective. ronica cleary joins with us dramatic new details revealed in court today. >> some of the things that we have to prent to you tonight, they really are shocking and think about just ten years, it makes you stop and think, i'll tell you a little bit about it. james, metro police
5:06 pm
on april 22, 2013, he asked his stepson, antoine james for help with yard work. when antoin refused his mother told him to leave the house. antoin was angry with his mother for siding with his stepfather. so he told her to, quote, watch this. he went outside, and he shot his step dad 18 times at point blank range. the 911 call from antoin's mother, after the incident, is chilling. >> my son shot my husband. >> who shot your husband? >> my son shot my husband. >> your son is in the house? >> yes. >> you have a son with a weapon. >> i don't know where the weapon; honey, just -- can i not believe my husband is dead. oh, my god. >> surveillance camera at nearby home, it captured part of the incident. now, this video, it was used in the sentencing
5:07 pm
james, but some of it was very difficult to see. we have some of it for you, i'm not sure if we will be able to pull it up. we would love for to you see it, but basically you see antoin go up to his father on a ladder, and then they go behind a vehicle, for another portion of the video where he continues with those 18 shots. at that point blank range that we said. now, antoin james, he was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter sentenced today to ten years, that's the maximum sentence he could receive. but why was he acquitted of the more serious charges of first and second degree murder? well, earlier today, we spoke with john the communications director for the state's attorney, in prince george's county, about the case. >> we said at the time, and we still feel now, that the jury rendered averred that was inconsistent with the evidence. we felt that he should have been convicted after more serious crime. >> after he shot him the first time once he is n
5:08 pm
the grounds wounded from that shot, to continue standing over him shooting until you have no more rounds left in your gun, certainly, we felt that was a pre-meditate dollars act and should have been a first degree murder conviction. >> you're probably wondering how a man who shot a police officer at point blank range, 18 times, with the 911 call you just heard, and the surveillance video that they had in this case, how is he not found guilty of murder in that communications director who you just heard from, he further explained that, while you can never fully know why a jury makes their decision, it is possible that they felt sympathy for the victim's wife, antoin's mother. he said that when she testified in that trial she appeared to be very conflicted, because of her relationship between both her son and husband. back to you. >> ronica, thank you. all right, we want to get you back to that breaking news that we are talking about from prince george's county, learning right
5:09 pm
has been a shooting at high point high school in betsville. what we're told is that two people were shot, one person is dead, the other one is wounded. >> we do have a crew on the way to the scene. we also have skyfox headed to the scene, as well. maria morocco is on the phone now with the very latest, marine, a i understands this is on powder bill road in beltsville. what do you know about this situation? >> right now incredibly just developing, and an accident investigation, actually following some of the detectives on to the scene right now, because this just happened minutes ago here. we understand that there is a search on now potentially for suspect or suspects. also, this may be domestic in nature, cords dollars to sources, of course, this all developing, so we don't have the latest, because police are still trying to gather information. but again, just to recap here, two shots, one victim dead, still wait to go learn if there is more than one suspect, but we do
5:10 pm
stands that there is a search on for whomever this search may be. we are approaching the scene here. you can see, large police presence as well aspirins george's county fire here on the scene, so as soon as we get you more information we'll bring that to you hopefully here before the 6:00 news. >> i know it is early, early in this, marina, but do you have any sense on ages here, since this has happened a high school? do you know if we're talking about students who were at the high school? >> no, right now it is still preliminary. all we know is that potentially it could be domestic in nature. that's as far as it get right now. >> this just happened minutes ago, but i'm telling you pulling up to the scene and quite a presence here from not only police officers as well as homicide detectives. so the search as you can imagine in this area, large section, cut off, as we are getting off of i-95 here onto belts ville road, near the cherry ville neighborhood park. park near this high school, several recreation areas around here, right now i'm seeing there are several areas that have
5:11 pm
traffic, so i'm imagining at this point that it is a situation looking for the suspect or suspects. >> got it. i know you're on top of it, and we will check in with you a little later in the newscast as soon as you have any development, please, let us know. >> you got it. >> marina, thank you. also, we are following the breaking news from federal center southwest metro station where there had been some reports of smoke on the track. i believe, do we have tom fitzgerald to talk with right now? no, we don't, but he was talking with us earlier, we saw the scene down there, a lot of emergency personnel, people not being allowed back down into the metro station, obviously, at this point. but another chaotic scene involving metro, during a afternoon commute. >> yes, federal center station in souse wet closed right now after an arcing insulator, this morning, the latest in a series of problems, obviously that we've been reporting on, extensively, involving metro. tom fitzgerald is on his way
5:12 pm
as soon as he gets there, gets set up, we'll bring the live shot to you. >> records, in other news tonight, there are still a lot of questions about the man who drove his hummer into a silver diner in mcclane. >> we still don't know exactly why he did it, or who this man is. fox5's alexandra said investigating this all day, what can you tell us? >> all the damage that remains, the windows and the door of the silver diner, are boarded up, and it is pretty inch yesterday tonight believe that a man would intentionally slam his hummer into the restaurant, during the crowded rush hour, how much, that is what the fairfax county police department believes happened. in fact, they tell us, charges are pending waiting for the man's medical condition to improve those charges are filed. now police say they anticipate charges to be destruction of property animalicious wounding, but they add that could change as
5:13 pm
investigation continues, dramatic cell phone video captured by customers and witnesses, shows the hummer ablaze after the crash. and witnesses say the driver who was also a silver diner employee intentionally slammed into the building three different times, and then allegedly set his car on fire on purpose. now the fairfax county fire department says they are investigating those allegations, however, they can't confirm that at this time. four people suffered non-life threatening injuries including the driver of that hummer, and additional cell phone video shows the driver being dragged out of the burning vehicle by witnesses. >> another person who had been pinned, between the hummer and the building, today, we talked to more witnesses. >> the whole thing was up in flames. so we heard a bang, then we came out, but he had repeatedly apparently rammed the building, an
5:14 pm
just flames and chaos. they had the driver on the ground. they had pulled him out. apparently he was resisting, i don't know what he was trying to do, but they had him on the ground, and they were trying to subdue him. >> it is crazy to think a car caught on fire, you know, people probably inside, people lurking, and someone would actually intentionally that is really kind of -- disappointing and surprising for sure. >> inside you can see employees work to go get the restaurant cleaned up. manager tells me they hope to reopen, but at this point not sure they will be able to do that, now, again, still a lot of questions about exactly who that employee is. his name has not been released. we also don't know why i allegedly did all of this, on purpose, however, a spokesperson for the silver diner did tell us, he was a cook here, who had worked for them for two years, the company says he is no longer employed following this incident. reporting live in
5:15 pm
alex around andrea, fox5 local news. >> thank you, busy day here at fox5, want to get back to breaking news we told but little earlier involving the shutdown of the metro station, at federal center, southwest, fox5's tom fitzgerald is there, there has been smoke coming out of there, earlier, a situation this morning, with a arcing insulator. so what's the latest right now? >> well, here is the situation. this station right now, they are still letting people out of it, nobody's allowed in. now, it is hard to see from all of this girder and scaffolding that's been going on here, but what we are told is this. metro officials just told us this is arcing insulator, that they're dealing with here. a lot of these passengers, that you see here, they were on this platform when they were told they had to get out of the station. the reason, these arcing insulators, the problems they've had again and again and again, they were not able, apparently, to fix whatever the problem was this morning, and
5:16 pm
recently. now, all of these people who were trying to get down these escalators, you can see, metro police are on the scene here. they're telling them, no, you can't get in here right now, you can't get down to that station. this is a persistent constant problem that this system has had, and it only happened here this morning. what it has done now is created these -- look at this, all of these people here are trying to get home, they've left their jobs for the day. now they're stuck in a situation where the streets are block off because of the firetrucks, and the emergency personnel, the buses are not here. we don't know where the buses are that supposed to get these people around here. so they're left with this question: how do they get home? were you down there when this happened? >> down on the train when this incident happened. >> you're on live television, tom fitzgerald, fox5ment tell us what you saw, what you heard and what happened next? >> well, we saw -- what i heard was the train was moving, getting ready to move
5:17 pm
happening is the conductor said everyone basically don't move. he said if -- he said this is an emergency. he cam running to the train, he told everyone to set down, because he had to get to the opposite side of the train to try to pull it back to the station. but he couldn't pull it back to the station because i can hear, because i was sitting right there near the radio, basically what was happening, there was a traffic jam in the tunnel. >> you know the history here. >> yes. >> only couple of blocks away was the plaza incident. how concerning is that when you are sitting there in that train, and you hear that come over the speaker? >> very concerning, because they have this incident this morning. so i thought it would have been resolved. but it is the same, same location, probably the same incident. snow is a serious problem there. >> how are you getting home tonight? >> i don't know. i probably will walk up the hill right here to capitol south and probably try to catch a train from there. >> thank you. >> and thank you for speaking. >> your name? >>
5:18 pm
and, you know, you can talk to all every these people. we are going to talk to a lot of them. that's the situation you're hearing, they're almost to the point where they have gotten graduate level degrees on how to deal with these arcing insulators, because it is happening, not only on a weekly basis, we're in a situation here, where this is repeatedly happening on a daily basis right now. what we were told from metro police, just a moment ago, was that this is so an arcing insulator situation they're dealing with, it is persistent problem, there has been water leakage in these tunnels, which are causing this corrision, causing these arcing situations, with the electrical systems on these trains. that is causing these fires, that is causing the smoke. right now, that is causing a heck of a mess for these people trying to commute home on this thursday night. we send it back into you. >> all right, fits, thank you very much. >> coming up ahead. we will continue to follow breaking news in prince george's county, a shooting at high point high school. we'll bring you the latest. >> a blue

5:20 pm
5:21 pm
5:22 pm
>> the shooting at high point high school, in prce george's county, this is happening in beltsville on powder mill road. >> yes, we have skyfox that is headed to the scene, also, marina morocco, is on her way there, as women. we talked with her earlier, was mentioning at this high school she was seeing around there, a park, you know, so it is unclear right now what we're dealing with, but she was kind of setting the scene for us, clearly 5:00 in the afternoon, school is out, but after school activities could have been going on, hoping to get more activities. >> what we do know, two people shot, one person is dead, don't know the ages yet of those people, as sarah mentioned, whether they are student or, you know, who were in school at the time. but school obviously out at that time. but, you know, after school
5:23 pm
so, marina looking into that. we do have skyfox headed over the scene. but his is, again, at high point high school bridges georges county, one person dead, another person shot. two people shot in all in beltsville on powder mill road. so, i know marina is setting up her live shot. do we have marina yet? so this is in a area, i know a lot of -- here we go. >> so here is our live picture from skyfox, and you can see, a lot of emergency vehicles around there. the homicide detectives are there, on the scene as well as marina morocco. i know her live shot set up, ready to talk to us and give us the late what's she knows. still early in the vehicles, but, marina, have you been able to find out anything more? we know one of the victims man in his 40's, we have no sort of kind ration if he may be employed here, what his
5:24 pm
relation is to the school. show you the scene here, very large and active scene here at high point high. i've counted at least five ambulances, are here, you see stretcher being unloaded off of this ambulance, and it is about to go into the school. the parking lot is pretty packed with cars. so that tells you that there were still people here at the school. and it seems like the majority of the presence is just outside the auditorium at this high school. now, we understand, the search continues right now for a suspect potentially more than one suspect, and it seems like at least they know who one of the suspect are, of course, we're still wait to go get more information on that. and don't want to compromise any of the investigation at this point. but the presence, at the school here, is extremely large. whether this is related to a student or teacher at this point, not confirmed, but sources saying this is domestic in nature. again, a very active scene here, this just happened, in the last few minutes here, and as you can see that ambulance just unloading that last stretcher. so that tells us t
5:25 pm
looking to help someone still in the building. the injuries we don't know, again, two people shot, one person confirmed dead. that injured victim, we
5:26 pm
crowd watching over here, we've not been table walk over to them. they are on their cell phones, potentially parents, but we've not seen anyone leave the school premises, so doesn't seem like there was any sort of evacuation, how much, the parking lot and the front of the school, still large number of cars, so, people here, still working at this hour. at high point high. >> all right, marina morocco, reporting live there for theref, thank you. >> let's check in with sue palka, checking this less than desirable weather, pie goodness, everybody is asking when is the skin coming out? >> everyone would like to use those sunglasses, right? i think that we can get some sunshine back in here for the weekends, still, a slow process, and while we do have little bit of drizzle out there right now, laura, czar, a i want to give you a heads up as we look at radar, there will be more rain developing after midnight. the bulk of the heavy rain is spinning down to our south. tan will spin its way in here, a little bit later, as two areas of low pressure are going to converge to bringu
5:27 pm
rush. the heavier rain gets in here midnight. so, we will talk more about the amount of rain we're expecting, and whether or not we can clear things out for the weekends. fox5 local news at 5:00 will be right back.
5:28 pm
5:29 pm
5:30 pm
>> warmer temps are on the way, and so is mosquito season, health officials are concerned about the zika virus, many sake saying the us is not prepared to deal with a outbreak. the first american has now died of conditions related to zika. how bad will it be and how can we protect ourselves? doctor anthony, the director of the national institute for allergy and infectious diseases, thank you so much for taking some time to talk to us about this. we reported earlier this week pregnancy related, may be the tip of the iceberg in this. how will zika affect a healthy adult or
5:31 pm
>> in general mild disease, aches, pains, muscle pains, some rash, some what we call conjunctivitis. so, for the most part it is relatively mild disease. very rare complication of what we call gilliam barre, disease of the neurological system, get descending paralysis, to be on respirator, rarely occurs, if you have the right medical facilities, almost all people recover serious, even though rare complication. the issue still is funds mentally zero with pregnant women, and fetus abnormalities is that what you are most concerned about? if not what is your concern? >> my concern still focuses very heavily on the issue
5:32 pm
pregnant women, to try and protect pregnant women. first if women are pregnant, to not travel to areas where there is active zika. that's the reason why the cdc has the travel advisory that if you are pregnant you should not go to the countries that are on the list of the travel alerts. countries in south america, central america, and some in the caribbean. that is the main issue. for someone who is otherwise healthy, not pregnant, although there is a very small risk of a complication, it really is a very rare complication. >> what about a suppressed immune system, with a adult or child, is there a concern there, and what do we need to do with our kids who are head today camps, who are headed to schools? do we need to be making sure that they wear long sleeves? and have bug spray with them? you have to talk about where you are. first of all you have in the united state travel related cases. namely, individuals, who have gone to south america, or
5:33 pm
caribbean, have gotten infected there, have come back, and gotten ill in the continental united state. that's a travel related case. we have not seen local transmission, namely, someone who is infected, say, in brazil, comes back to the united states, a mosquito bites that person, then bites somebody in the united states who has not left the country and you infect that person. that's local transmission. we haven't seen that yet. we expect that we likely will see small outbreaks of local transmission, as we get into the robust mosquito season. so get to go your question, what we need to do, because there are other diseases mosquitos can cause, when you are in the summer month, there is a lot of mosquitos, particularly the scenario that you mentioned of children going to cam or what have you, you should protect yourself from moth cessation. where, clothes that can cover as much as the body possible, and be
5:34 pm
definitely use insect repellents. sometimes people are afraid to use insect repel ends, but the insect repellents now approved particularly with deet, the active ingredient, they're very safe, safe. 30% deet is safe. people should not hesitate to use it. >> doctor, we appreciate your insite. thanks very much. >> all right, we continue to follow the breaking news in prince george's county, a double shooting at high point high school, marina morocco is there, again, do you have any more information that you can shed some insight on this? at this point we just saw the bridges george's county commands unit pull up to the school, obviously, gives us insight, this continues to be ongoing. i just spoke with prince george's county lou tenant, arrived on the scene, trying to gather some information, so pass it along to me, but we will pan over here little further to the right. see just how police tape there, you can see a large contingent every
5:35 pm
can't see from this distance, potentially of their student or staff members who were evacuated from the school. you guys were asking earlier, walk out, that potentially could be some of the staff here at high point high that were led off from property here and are waiting to be let back in. officers and detective, and i just spoke with witness here, said he was walking in front of the school and he heard four gunshots come off the back parking lot we do see there are some ambulances and emergency clues around the corner, unfortunately vantage point here block by some trees, i'm not sure if we have skyfox up can show you the back side of the school where there is probably from what i'm seeing here at least a firetruck. again, sources saying this may be domestic in nature, one of the victims appears to be a man, in his 40's, the other victim, passed from the injuries, saying he heard at
5:36 pm
least four loud gunshots, they did not appear to be coming from inside the school but rather from that back parking lot. >> live on the scene, thank you so much. >> busy breaking news day here at fox5. coming up after the break, we will talk with tom fitzgerald who is covering an issue down at federal south, so we'll be right back with that.

5:43 pm
reeves got involved. >> i was really upset. i was disappointed, that a student would do this to a member of our staff. >> the principal had the power to kick out the student. a senior, who was close to graduation, and that, well it, could have derailed his life. so, instead, administrators decided to offer the student a program being used at dc public schools, called restore tiff justice. >> sending someone home for ten, 15, 20 days, does not necessarily mean they'll own the behavior and actually do something different the next time around. our goal our students will begin to except responsibility for any wrong-doing, own it, and move forward in a very different way. >> the student had to apologize, take part in mediation, even write an essay about what he did wrong. and he was punished, suspended for a few days, even told he couldn't attend prom. but he was allowed to return to school. and the restore tiff justice program seems to be working here at beleuh high school, in the last y

5:45 pm
commute there. was a fire here about an hour ago. what we're being told right now by dc fire and ems, we just spoke with their instant commander here. this is what they've determined. there was a fire here at federal center southwest, just about an hour ago. they've determined that the cause of that fire was that there was trash on the track. now, that has not changed the situation, the footprint here, every what's been going on. let me show you where the entrance is here. excuse me, sir, as we come through here. everybody who has come to this station right now, well, they're being met with this, there is a gate across the front of the entrance here, you're not able to get on. they still have federal center southwest closed, what they're doing, on the blue line, on the orange line, and on the silver line, through the area here, is they are using a bus bridge. there are metro buses. you can see, as they pull up here,
5:46 pm
