5:04 pm
>>reporter: it came from multiple calls made not only to d.c. police, but howard university police as well. we're here the especially epicenter where all of this police activity started and where we saw a lot of tactical units. this is georgia avenue right here, a fairly busy intersection and then right up geps it is howard place and this is where units were closing down this road earlier today as well as several roads right at the entrance of howard university. now, metropolitan police got their first tip about noon. a report of an active shooter at or near administration billing. at the saip time campus police received a call at the college of medicine on w street. authorities evacuated those buildingses as well as surrounding ones and everything turned up empty after their sweeps. we're going to do a real, real good investigation because this is only the beginning. we have found no evidence, no
5:05 pm
that supports that there was a shooting on our campus at any location. there will be always be some concern and nervousness about incidents about this. they're not normal. they're not something that he we take lightly at all. and that was howard university's president speaking. that's on the university's response deament now, some students expressed concern over how long it took the university to reach out to them for that communication. but howard university's president says that they were communicating as quickly as possible as soon as they realized that they had multiple reports in different areas around campus. they say it's a balancing act between getting the accurate information and getting it out as quickly as possible. also, remember this comes on the heels of howard university's home coming which is coming up. when asked about that president police campus police said they will continue to have their event as florm al but they will have stepped up securement we also know that classes were canceled today. they will resume right here at howard university tomorrow. police continue to investigate
5:06 pm
if it was, the source of those calls may face some severe punishment. live at howard university's campus. >> tonight, montgomery county officials scai the gang problem in the county has become so bad they have to try something new. that something a police surge aimed at expanding the police gang unit targeting gang leaders ers and having more officers in the schools. tom fitzgerald joins us live from rockville where this agreement was just signed, i understand reporter roar that's right. numbers don't as you give you you an idea of a problem. but in this case the dollar figure here that will show you you how seriously they're talking about this h, half a billion dollar, folks, in fact, more than that, $836,000 moving from the county kowbs ill budget into the state's attorney s ofs office, why, they're siding a bank problem that is so bad right now they need to do something different and if the
5:07 pm
different they say it will get worse. john mack cart he think speaking just a few moments ago. >>reporter: when you see the recent rise in crime at the level and the extent to which you see it, new strategies are called for and new approaches are called for when you see this and i think what we're doing here kea is trying to respond to what our recent changes in trends, particular again in the homicide rate. how bad is this gang murder rate? well, consider this, montgomery county police chief thomas major tells us tonight about two years ago they'd average anywhere from one to two gang murders a year. now they are looking at 20. we still have two and a half months left in this year to go. this new surge is going to focus on the bank hot spots, places like germantown, gaithersburg, silver springs and wheaton. there is also a new team of what they're calling special response officer s. these are sors who are going to be deployed in the schools \am\many that
5:08 pm
they say these gangs are doing the recruitings as that is where they say they need to cut them off where they begin. now, keep in mind here, county officials a all through this a announcement today stressed what they have what they call a very good relationship with their federal part nemplets however, it is also noted that the immigration and customs enforcement right now has montgomery county on a list of jurisdictions that do not cooperate with their ice detain ersment we spoke to the police chief about p this today we said wouldn't this effort also mean reaching out to federal partners? he says instead of ice they're cons straighting concentrating. wouldn't this foster a better relationship with ice. they still have montgomery county on a list of jurisdictions that do not follow ice detainer requests es. i think that what we're talking about when we talk about our federal partners are u s attorney's office. where we rely on
5:09 pm
prosecutionses and there are times when a federal prosecution is going to be p more effective than one we do the at the state levels. so that is what the police chief is saying here tonight. this is what is is say ing just a few moments ago responding to fox5 inquiries tonight, ice montgomery county doesn't consistently requests. and deny officers to jails to interview vialsorses without ice coordinating with the jail ahead of time and the jail granting permission. of course many law enforcement officers will tell you you tonight that the rise in gang-related crime they say is directly on the rise in the illegal immigration in the d.c. metropolitan area. tom fitzgerald fox5 local news. >> coming up a call to recall. ford is offering

5:15 pm
powered leaf blowers. council member mary cheh knowses the complaints are coming. it's been kind of light, but once it gets started and the leaf blowers are out there in force i will be getting he e-mails. several years ago council member cheh proposed a bill that would face out gas powered leaf blowers by 2022 leaving only electric and battery power which she says produce less noise and pollution, but it's going nowherement it's not moving in the council because it's not in my committee and committee chairs they decide what moves and it hasn't been p moving. just to give you an idea of how loud a gas blower is, one right here. take a look at the december bells pick p peaking out at right about 111. there is a group called quiet clean d.c. on its website it sayses just say no to gas blowers. but george

5:45 pm
we'll likely be near 70-degrees the slight warming trend continues each day as we head into the weekend president plenty t t of sunshine and a lot of dry days. we still need the rain. we're not getting it this week, about you some needed rain is possible next week in the form of maybe a pretty wet system, an area of low pressure that could affect us late monday night into tuesday and wednesday . these are the temperatures we bottomed out this morning. dulles 36, 46 for reagan national and 38 for bwi. we're going to be really close to that again tonight and that's why you see these widespread frost advisories and a freeze warning. not as many freeze warnings because once you you get one freeze, the growing season is considered to be over you you see out here in the mountain areas they don't have any advisorieses issued anymore because growing season is expected to be ended there. frost advisory though includes the district. while we think most places will stay in the 40s in the city there will be spots that could get down into the mid and upper 30s so you need

5:47 pm
means it will be frosting in those suburbs that are under the frost advisory with light winds overnight. plenty of sunshine tomplet you'll be hard pressed to find any clouds. we head for about 70 greece and after a chilly morning that afternoon temperatures should feel fantastic. high pressure still in control, slightly farther south tomorrow so that means that warm up is available and and we'll see that continuing as we head through the weekment your fox5 seven day forecast all x-ray die days. even as we get into the weekend, saturday about 75, sunday 77, late showers possible monday from a strong front coming that may have an area of low pressure on it and that could deliver some very helpful rain on tuesday with a temperature of 70-degrees. beyond that we think it starts getting cool again back into the 630s. that's your seven day forecast jim and sarah. thank you, sue, an arrest outside of the white hours, the incident that sparked the secret service into action. a two year old denied a kidney transplant because his father violated probation. we're going to hear from the
