that man who assaulted her. so far four days and no arrests. >> i bit him, scratched him, kicked him, only by the grace of god is the reason why i actually got out of there. you don't forgot someone who makes up their mind to kill you. he i found him on facebook myself, he has the same uber picture as he does on his profile photos. and he actually has the neshek to have two daughters. >> reporter: dc police will not say if they're looking for someone specific but they describe the suspect's car as being four door dark colored sedan. suspect anded to be hispanic, 32 to 36, to medium build, 58:00

black hair thick eyebrows, moles or freckless on his face, you're urged to contact dc police there's a $1,000 reward. fox 5 reached out to uber. we just heard back, they tell me they have removed access for that driver that was listed on that receipt and going to be assisting police in their investigation. that's latest here on capitol hill. angelie hemphill fox 5 local news. well, look at this happening in western maryland, route 68 in the frostberg area. no doubt about it. the cold we've been feeling it around here. >> it was bitter cold and windy outside there today. let's get to sue for a check of your forecast. i cannot believe it is finally hit >> it has really hit and sarah and jim you know what i noticed about that that shawn it's 68 in western maryland. obviously, that is is a cold

sticking to the roadways? that is a concern so we're expecting some of that snow here very soon, as a matter of fact, it's showing up in some western suburbs, we're keeping snow shower, in the forecast urbana it's so cold, it could stick on untreated surfaces. now, if you've been driving north of the district today, there is brine everywhere. we have fast moving snow showers that will be around part of the evening commute. i think a lot of these may get out of here quickly. so here's the close as they are coming along 66 towards front royal. everything moving if west to east. the bulk of this system is going to pass to the north, we're going to get grazed by the tail here and that is going to be around in the next several hours. so we thought we'd start with the futurecast. we see this coming and again, this is a prediction but look how well it matches up with the radar right now. maybe we're seeing

western suburbs 7:00 not quite to dc but almost, moves through dc around 9:00. a brighter blue here is where we might get a very small accumulation. i know roads have been treated. if you get down towards fredericksburg, this may not get to you, southern maryland gets a break. by 10:00 everything over to the eastern shore and by tomorrow it's gone although it continues in the mountains where in any could get to four inches of snow and winter weather advisories are in effect. rough commuting here, i think locally this will be something to keep an eye on. but with roads treated we shouldn't have big problems for sure, but everything will stick on untreated surfaces. 28 in gaithersburg, 38 in frederick. 29 in hagerstown, today is the coldest day we've had so far in 2017. at least in the late fall and almost winter months here. sarah and jim, i'll have more coming up.

branch policy is. >> reporter: the governor pointed out that the executive branch does not really have the control to force the legislative branch to enact these changes, however, he was hoping that they will look to the executive branch here as an example. fox 5 reached out to some sexual harassment experts, one dc attorney deborah catch. she said this to policy they're looking at in annapolis flies in the face of the current trend away from these types of secretive disclosure, she said the maryland legislature and the general assembly can do better >> the public wants to know who is engaging this behavior and if settlements are reached coming out of the public, how much is being paid and as a result of what kind of conduct. and it is a bit tone deaf because right now, we're in a

moment where the public is rightly demanding accountability and transparency. >> reporter: governor hogan added he was shocked to learn that the general assembly was not already collecting the kind of information that would be rider in this sexual harassment reporting. we reached out to maryland democratic senator kagen. she said that the legislature can do better. live in annapolis at the statehouse, tom fitzgerald fox 5 local news. roy moore family is speaking out. following the republican senate candidate's loss in alabama special election. his sister, nancy barkdale is not talking about moore's crushing loss to doug jones, it was the first for the democratic party in decades in alabama. moore was hit with a wave of sexual misconduct allegations during the campaign, but his sister blames the defeat on something else. >> dirty policy is what it was. i'm his sister and i don't know what's happening

sick. you know moving a stroller around with your child inside is not always easy, especially if you take mass transit. a new petition has been launched to encourage metro to change its policy when it comes to strollers. sounds like it will be a hard sell. matt ackland is live with more. >> reporter: i didn't know

it stands if you want to ride a metrobus and you have a stroller you can't keep your kids inside and simply load it on to the bus and then have them ride in the stroller. there's many other steps. parents are saying this is really difficult, and they're hoping that metro might make a change. seems like we hear it all the time. leave the car at home. take metro but if you have a kid in a stroller, that's not easy if you're taking the bus. according to metrobus rules, and manners for parents online, it says, if you have a stroller, take your child out of the stroller, followed the stroller, and if possible, stow the stroller out of the way. two local parents joined this petition asking metro's general manager and board chairman to change that policy. olga maria i can't ken no has a 2-year-old daughter and because it's so hard to get her on a bus, she walks over a half mile to a rail station. >> if i attempted to get

bus while my child i was still in the stroller and i was asked to followed up the stroller, so this man, i had to bring out my child, get i was the belongings they had underneath the stroller, followed it up and carry a kid, a stroll and accessories. and so you can imagine, maybe people can relate to it as grocery shopping and then trying to get back on the bus when it's full and trying to get home and do your chores. >> metro said the rules and statement telling us they're not considering a change in policy. saying basically, unfolded strollers block the aisle posing a safety and tripping hazard and delaying the boarding process. >> i'm not a parent so i don't use one of these often but i did find it kind of difficult -- this is big stroller then it collapses, just think about it if you got a baby in one arm and you got to pick this up and put it on the bus, it's not all that easy. olga had a suggestion, she said there's an area inside the bus that's ual

wheelchairs and she said if it's not being used, if they're not a wheelchair there, maybe it would be a perfect spot for a stroller. by the way we reached out to metro board chairman jack evans, his office told us he declined comment. he does believe this whole thing is about space. metro says there's simply not enough space on those aisles, and so that's why they're not looking at this at this point. but the petition says seem to be picking up a bit of steam. live in northwest tonight, matt ackland fox 5 local news. fox 5 put to test in a law enforcement exercise meant to train officers when and when not to shoot. we got the details in a live report are the redskins changing their name? an online petition stirred up a lot of reaction about the ongoing debate. we'll talk with brody about that. first fox 5 cares during our week of wishes, we will introduce you to one little girl who knows all about the importance of

to see. i have no idea what's coming. what i'm about to do is to go up to a car of a man i had just pulled over who had run a red light. take a look how i do. >> close the door. ready? >> action. >> hello, sir. do you know why i stopped you? >> no >> sir you got a gun. this is officer wagner, 1099 i need backup. i got a male with a gun. >> backup is here >> i got a man with a gun, he got the gun to his head i need him to put the hand on the steering wheel drop the gun >> do you think he's assuming he got the head to his gun ready to commit suicide >> sir, do not. >> let me see your hands >> drop the gun. >> drop the gun. >> you people are hurting me >> drop the gun now. >> kill me, burn me >> drop the gun >> why don't you listen to

help me. >> drop the gun. (shots) >> good job. >> reporter: that was certainly eye opening, i did a couple of things wrong. i didn't back off and call in additional support. this man obviously was going to kill himself or at least he was attempting to kill himself. i had tunnel vision. i didn't listen to what the man was saying. he was saying he wasn't going to drop the gun. he wanted to be shot first. and that man was able to shoot me before i could do anything. a very incredible experience to actually go through that and see it for yourself. we have a second scenario for you, this was in a different room here at the academy. it's a video exercise in which we're told that a man is burglarizing a location teamed with a reporter where two officers were told to go and investigate a

take a look. >> this scenario a radio run for a burglary. >> stop right there there, sir. >> we're investigating a burglary >> i'm just getting my stuff >> ok, look >> i'm sick of this whole situation. i'm going to show you some id and i'll get out of here >> we want to see id. (shots). >> as to what happened on that scenario >> we saw the weapon, paul shot first. >> we can actually show on the screen where the red dots are. that's a really good shot. that's the first shot. you actually you were able to get your weapon out fast. >> reporter: that was also eye opening, that man was coming towards me i had pepper spray in my hand that i tried to spray him, which i was told was

hadn't done anything wrong, when he drew his weapon, i opened fire and hit him five times and that was a deadly use of force. very eye opening to go through this down here at the academy. jim and sarah? >> you've been around police situations for awhile in dc. it looked realistic from here. what did you pick up from going through those drills? >> reporter: the tunnel vision, the stress you're under, i wasn't listening to that guy in the first scenario, all i saw was he had a gun. that's why i think this training is so incredibly important. because as a reporter, of course, i never gone through anything like that but officers have to go through this stuff all the time. and so if you actually see what officers are seeing is really eye opening, and you can get that tunnel vision and i really didn't even know what to do. >> at really good potent, paul, it's good we're able to show viewers because they also are able to see what it is that officers are going through in those split seconds you got to

thank you so much. it was really eye opening, as you kept mentioning. we appreciate the. new, hail to the red hawks? social media was on fire with talk of a redskins name change >> brody is lear to explain what's going on with a rare case of actual fake news. >> reporter: these were fake news. culture jamming using these types of things to get word out through social media. you may have seen these articles going around social media. you see them from bleacher report, espn sports illustrated and the "washington post." an announcement the washington redskins are changing their name to the washington red hawks would be complete with these articles and an entire website was dedicated to the red hawks name change, people on social media reacted with a combination of relation or bewilderment over a supposed announcement from dan snyder and the redskins he's actually dropping the name. it go the to point that the redskins issued an official statement via

saying this morning the redskins's organization was made aware of fraudulent websites about our team name. the name of the team is the washington redskins and will remain that in the future. just a few hour, ago, the group behind the hopes the culture jamming revealed itself to be the rising hearts coalition, a group of native americans urging the skins to change the name. they released the statement about the red hawks campaign. we created this action to show the nfl and the washington football franchise how easy, popular and powerful changing the name could be. they continued saying. what we're asking for changes only for letters, four letters, certainly the harm the mascot does to native americans outweighs the very, very minor changes. now, the group is holding a press conference tomorrow outside of rfk and a rally at fedex on sunday. i want you to know what you think about the name, what do you think of the actual name itself? go to be a to my twitter account at brody logan and vote. if you don't

look to be south enough to impact both dc and baltimore metros. here's where the snow is along 81 corridor from portions of pennsylvania from hagerstown winchester through woodstock and back west through cumberland, morgantown west virginia, it is a quick moving system but there's bands of steadier snowfall, the dark r purples and even though it's question moving, it is moving across have cold air, that's why we can see the snow stick quickly. this is the whole clipper system more organized towards our north and west and it will largely stay north bringing accumulating snow to portions of pennsylvania, new york and new jersey, on the southern fringe here in washington and enough to have a little bit of impact as we head to tonight. here's that winter weather advisory extreme western maryland portions of west virginia, including morgantown and cumberland until noon tomorrow, i think most of the snow will be over with for us later on tonight's there could still be mountain top snow showers. 34 in dc right now. and upper 20's to low 30's so many of us not even above frzi
