it would certainly help us in virginia. i think mitt romney wins virginia now. if bob mcdonald's on the ticket, he will help us in virginia, north carolina. and a lot of the states where suburban voters matter. and bob mcdonald he was my seat mate in the house of delegates when you and i first met. he is father, he is a family man, businessman. he is somebody who understands what the independent voters want. that's results. >> do you think he's been hurt on the national stage by some issues that came up in the virginia legislature? >> i think there's been aempts to try and do that, but i don't. i think his leadership in virginia is -- has been stel rar. if you look at the public polling in virginia, bob mcdonald is still very popular. he's a results driven conservative. he's been able to manage the budget. we're a state whose unemployment numbers are much lower than the national average. >> dough don't think he's been hurt? >> no. >> if he were to run for president a year ago or so, sure he would be great. >> how would he help mitt romney on the ticket? >> i thin

took place after she left, and we asked to be removed by her counsel and the court in vermont wouldn't let us out in virginia there's a pending case that wait for her to return. so we just are still lested as her attorney because we can't ask for permission to withdraw. but i don't know what we would do. i guess it would depend on the case. someone else recently asked us the same question, and just depends on the nature of the charges and if she -- she is entitled to a defense and we know the case well. we have to cross the bring when it happens. >> host: is your story, the lisa miller story, only one mommy, is it about family law, home sexuality, lisa miller? >> guest: all of that and more. it starts out telling a life story of lisa. i think that's very important to understand from my perspective. i know it's not easy for someone to believe homosexuality but there's an element of choice i believe, and you can find yourself in the lifestyle and have to work to get out of it. she had a very rough child childhood and had a serious of addictions and alcoholism to cutting to drugs, diet pills, and so this was ju

robert krick joins us from the library of virginia in richmond. robert krick, your nomination was thomas stonewall jackson. outside of the south in 1862, how well-known was stonewall jackson? >> '62 began, he was barely known in the south and probably not at all in the north and the impact that he made in 1862 seems to me to be in large part a consequence of that explosion as though on a catapult to fame. his impact on the year in the minds of southerners and of northerners both the soldiers in the field and the civilians at home on both sides of the river went from nothing to a great deal. and that is part of my case in making him the man of the year for 1862. he gave the south the opportunity to look for some success and find a good bit of it later in 1862. they had had none, not a tincture of success until jackson a little bit in march but mostly may and june in 1862 in the virginia shenandoah valley won victories that were of some consequence. they had some substance but they were not as important in actual fact as they were in the minds on bo

coming down from connecticut quite frequently to speak with us in the virginia historical society and the american civil war center. david has done quite a bit to help our understanding here and nationally about the civil war. david is the class of 1954 professor at yale university. excuse me, professor of american history at yale university and he's also the director of the gilder lehrman center for the study of slavery resistance in abolition. best known to civil war audiences as the author of the 2001 book "race and reunion, the civil war and american history." he has recently published for the civil war sesquicentennial a perceptive look at the civil war centennial entitled "american oracle." ladies and gentlemen, it's a pleasure to welcome back to the museum and to the confederacy, and to you today david blight.

we know goh lives in oakland, but used to live in virginia, and checking the databases there, there's no criminal record. a couple of minor traffic offenses. also, he bought fishing and hunting licenses in that state as well. if you come back out here live, it looks like one of the police departments sonar searching boats has arrived, we could have sfpd or oakland trying to search the shoreline off dolittle where they believe he may have thrown the weapon. they interviewed him overnight. generally speaking, they say he has been cooperative, not particularly remorseful. he was booked in jail around 5:00 this morning. and as christie mentioned, first court appearance is scheduled tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 here in oakland. reporting live in oakland, bob redell, nbc bay area news. >>> and continuing that story, we got off the phone with highland hospital in oakland. staff confirm three victims are recovering from gunshot wounds were released last night. we have cell phone video of another person wounded in the shooting, she's a soldier and nursing student who was in the back of that clas

us. the other thing i do is just make sure that there is high quality fresh fruits and vegetables in every neighborhood. i think it's really important. >> margie is watching us in west virginia. margie, welcome, you're wrong. hi, thank you. the way her other question had to do with food labeling. what i would like to ask as i know that i have read from a doctor named terry rodgers that our soybean crop and 85% of our soybean crop in this country has been sliced with the products around that. they do the same thing with corn. is there any way but as we look at food labeling that we can tout what another gma label it, but is there any way that can humor could be made more aware of things like this? and my other question is i like to buy organic and am very careful about where i buy my fish. and i thought a package of alaskan salmon river and i got home to prepare it and open us up a package in very tiny print at the top of the package it read, made from china. well, the big labels that alaskan salmon and i thought i was getting alaskan salmon. i have heard that the waters and china are just filled the end they are farm raised fish. so, can you comment on the food labeling and

in d.c. and some of the borderline stations, but you cannot use them in virginia. >> reporter: and it cannot d if you're not a student. one man tried that, too right after getting a citation. >> i don't need no pass. >> if you're not in school anymore, how can you use that? >> he had a d.c. student card that was his younger sister's. >> reporter: police wrote citations for every person captured by fox 5 cameras. last year transit police issued more than 4,500 citations and more than 2,000 warnings for fare evasions. it's the no. 1 crime on metro. >> it does give you a criminal record if you're found guilty. >> reporter: that's a risk thousands of riders are willing to take over just a few bucks and in virginia where this man was cited you have to go to court. >> i got to go through all this? all that just for not paying. >> reporter: police say fare evaders come in jeans and business suits, men, women, young and old and they've all got an excuse. >> there's no money in the parking meter. >> so essentially i forgot to pay my fare and because i guess i must have been absent-minded and i just le

in others. we are learning more about the alleged gunmen who used to live in virginia.ne kennedy spoke with family and neighbors from his former neighborhood. >> is there something big you want to say on your brother's behalf? >> off-camera the fairfax residents said that he was ashamed that his brother allegedly shot and killed seven people. he went on to say that he was sorry about the victims' families. the suspect lived in to defer virginia cities after being evicted from one, complex where he reportedly owes $1,300. >> he was very friendly. he could chat with us. klein never would have thought anything. tragedy struck his family when another brother was killed and 13 months ago. he was in the states for army's special forces training. the suspect briefly rented a room at this home, some neighbors really had any dealings with him. >> it is shocking to another next door used to live a man that killed seven people. >>catherine: still with kron4 for our continuing coverage of the massacre. you can always check our web site, we welcome your photos and comments on our fa

in virginia. newschopper 7 will join us in a little while. now to news. >> we will focus on the weather. residents in parts of western maryland had to pull out the shovels' after nor'easter dumped several inches of snow. it started falling sunday night and became heavier throughout the day if. that may for a busy time for snow plows. some residents could not believe they had to dig out snow gear. >> i am kind of upset. we were all expecting spring. it was really nice outside. >> we have a lot of snow. this is weird. >> the nor'easter left 50,000 people without power in pennsylvania. and new pennsylvania 50 you woulif you like to see photographs, go to our web site, wjla.com. >> there's a protest planned all around the world. protests in more than a dozen cities including washington, as pretrial hearings for private first class bradley manning resume today at fort meade. he is facing several charges including aiding the enemy and could face life in prison if convicted. also, opening statements expected today in the trial of former falls church democratic party chair michael gardner. he fa

dugout -- log dugouts canoes were used all through virginia, up in the mountains, too. and it took at least four people to move a good-sized one, if it was one that was really something like 50 feet long, you wanted at least eight people paddling. i've done a small canoe with only two and it was blue murder. absolutely murder. also, the waterways, which became the highways for indians, would remain the highways for the invaders from the old world who were all accustoms ed to using boats, as well. and that obtained until a lot of the country roads were paved in the 1930s. so that was a matter of continuity of attitude. but as for how you use eco zones, i need to stick to the subject. another thing it meant was that the two sexes didn't look alike. the men on the average were taller than the women by about 4 inches. average indian height in prehistoric times, late woodland times seems to be 5'7", 5'3" for english. the women averaged 5'2" but they believe probably built like piano movers. digging tuckahoe will make you that way. and that is a very mild form, as we found ou

place after she left, and we have asked to be removed as accounts and the court in vermont wouldn't let us out. virginia, there's also a pending case that waits for her to return. so we are still listed as her attorney in part because we can't ask permission to withdraw. she is not here. but i don't know what we are do. i guess it would depend on the case. someone else asked us that question and it just depends on the nature of the charges. she's entitled to a defense and we certainly know the case well, but we have to cross that bridge when it happens. >> rena lindevaldsen is your story, the lisa miller store, "only one mommy," is it about family law, is about homosexuality, what is it about? >> all of that and more. it starts out telling the life story of lisa because i think that's important to understand. from my perspective i know it's not easy for someone to leave homosexuality but there is an element of choice i believe involve. you can find yourself in this lifestyle and have to work to get out of it. she had a very rough childhood and had a series of predictions before she got involved in homos

virginia governor bob mcdonald. it is good to have you with us today. this is obviously a tragedy. it is an area of pride. virginia beach holds the naval institution, inroads. what's your reaction? >> you're right. hampton roads in particularly, the norfolk naval base, the air station in virginia beach, are really the east coast hub of our great united states navy air operations. i lived there for 21 years in virginia beach just a few miles from where this took place, also in the flight path. and it is a great source of pride for that region to have the navy there. i think you've given an up to date report on where things. are i talk to the mayor three times and the congressman from the area once. state police are on the ground. hazmat, all the state resources we can deploy are there. i think i just spoke to the mayor and i think they're close to the point now where the smoke and fire are going to be under control where they can begin the next phase of the rescue operations, entering these apartments to see if there might have been any fatalities. so far the news has been good with some injuries but no fatalities reported. we're into that key phase no

abraham lincoln won an election in richmond, virginia? this tells us that perhaps richmond isn't what some people think it is. and it reminds us that the person of the year for 1861 or 1862 is not a popularity contest any more than "time" magazine's person of the year is a measure of popularity. it is a measure of importance and a means of learning about the year. our panelists will try to convince you, the audience and the voters, that their nominees deserve to be recognized for

today, several of us spent this past weekend at virginia tech memorializing them. it heartens us that the survivors are able to move forward in their lives. it heartens us that we are represented on the campus by scholarships, memorial funds and any number of great remembrances but the fact remains that in all of our families there are holes shaped like our loved ones that will never be filled and that's true of every single person here. that's true of every single family of the 32 people who every day as you have just heard are shot to death in this country. this should not happen. and as you have also heard repeatedly today the question is if not us, who? if not now, when? the courts have repeatedly deferred to the congress and the state legislatures to do the right thing and the proper regulation of public safety to include issues related to gun violence but in far too many cases our state legislators, state executives and the congress have avoided making those hard choices. here in virginia or i should say across the river in virginia our own governor, governor mcdonnell heard our pleas not to allow the repeal of our one

that area in color left of your screen is some rain way southwest of us though in southern virginia.g to stay away from our region here through the day. dark blue area, upper 30s. northern west virginia into western maryland, light blue, that's all in the 40s all around the western area, all of maryland, including eastern shore. here's the day planner. sunrise in about 15 minutes. by 9:00 we'll be in the 40s. a lot of clouds around for noontime. we'll just be in the 50s and a mostly cloudy afternoon too. and we'll only reach the low 60s. i say only because we're used to mild weather. sunset, 7:36. a look at the evening traffic. how's traffic? >> the crash in the hov lanes at the occoquan mass moved to the right lanes. the bad news is you're still seeing delays. chopper 4 is flying live and you could see really big delays in the hov lanes. now, as you continue north, you have another crash in the hov lane. this one is just past route 123. you can see from the cam rew here. you're seeing a significant backup. the crash, once you pass route 123 is blocking the left lane, so you'll have

southwest of us, another batch in virginia and west virginia. and we have a chance of getting some of that in the area later this evening. until maybe about 9:00, or 10:00, the risk of more rain. take a look at these numbers. these are going to be updated. just as of a little while ago, nobody is really seeing more than maybe 2/10ths of an inch. most people, 10 to 15/100ths of an inch. the deficit continues to be very impressive. this is not going to be what we had so far this year. as you can see, generally, if you take a look at this graphic, around here, anyway, three to five inches below normal. even more on portions of eastern shore. they saw some rain, however, this afternoon. bernadette in the outback. with a look at these cool temperatures this afternoon. bernadette. >> that's the other thing the rain has done is really cooled us down. remember, we were just 90 degrees two days ago. well, here are our current temperatures around the state. it's only 51 in baltimore. that's almost a 40-degree swing in two days. and even compared to yester

us. you can see, way down in southeast virginia, the sun is shining. not the case from ocean city. there is some son to the south, some good thunderstorms moving to north carolina right now. they have some pretty good storms appear that started in kentucky earlier this morning. this activity will slip to our south and that is where most of the ring will be today. farther north where we are, showers periodically, and that is it throughout the day. and we need the rain, so it is not all bad. precipitation so far this month just over an inch short of where we are normally. we will make some of that up today, but we are not going to get an inch of rain a couple of school days. above normal readings. temperatures have moderated to an extent. the warm air as having a tough time getting up here. temperatures around 60 degrees but there is a definite chill in the air. the actual cool front with the warmer air is pretty far south right now. the chilly air, because of the clouds and rain, pretty well stocked in our area. you can see what the sun is doing in virginia beach. 72 degrees right n

if he is on the ticket, he will help us in virginia and north carolina and in a lot of states where voters matter. bob macdonald, he was my seatmate in the house of delegates when you and i first met. he is a father, a family man, a businessman. he is someone who understands what the independent voters wants and that [gets] results. >> and you heard some of the issues that came up in virginia? >> i think that his leadership in virginia has been stellar. look at the public polling in virginia. bob macdonald is very popular. he has been able to manage the budget. the state has unemployment numbers that are much less than the average. i think he is very strong. >> what about paul ryan? >> paul ryan is terrific. i said that before and i will say it again. he would be a great leader. >> how would he help mitt romney? >> paul ryan demonstrated the ability to lead on matters of budget. he has a clearer grasp on the budget than anyone i know. he is serving in congress. he understands that we need to get our fiscal house in order. >> would that give him some vulnerabilities with the middle? >> i th

in the region. but we didn't get a whole lot of rain out of this. most of us was south in virginia, where they did see decent rain. quarter inch, south of the airport area. and north of the city, less than a tenth of an inch. but there's still activity developing to the west. as you can see that front across portions of ohio, moving toward pittsburgh now, with showers and thundershowers. so later this evening, maybe arch 8:00, 9:00, we do have a chance, not a great chance, most of this is going to pass to our north and south. chance to pick up a shower. maybe a brief rumble of thunder with that front as it comes through late tonight. light rain, moving off the coast here. that is what we saw this morning as it came across virginia. just touched the region during the morning hours. not a beautiful day. temperature-wise, we're at 63. 69 in cumberland. had a little sunshine there. 62, ocean city. and even in oakland, at 62 degrees. lowly, temperatures in the low to mid-60s. running four or five degrees below normal. a light, southerly winds. late tonight. when the front gets through,

adjudicated mentally ill, it would have probably succeeded in preventing the shooter from getting the firearms he used. now, i'm proud to say that virginia now leads the nation in inserting mental health records into the national instant check system but there is so much further to go and so in the name of mary and in the name of reama, and in the name of every one whose families are here representing those lives that were snuffed out by gun violence, i plead with our members of congress, do the right thing. don't support legislation that increases the availability of firearms to people who shouldn't have them and do what's in your power to make sure that those firearms don't get into the hands of the people who shouldn't have them. thank you. >> i understand christine is here. no. christine cologne? christine? no. she's here. there you are. >> sorry. >> hi. my name is christina cologne. i'm here with my husband, a retired milwaukee police officer. on april 11th, 2009 his career e ended as a milwaukee police officer when he nearly lost his life in the line of duty from a .9 millimeter firearm at the hands of a nine-time felon, parolee, w

in virginia. so active weather all around us but not so much in maryland. we've kind of got the luck of the dwraw quiet weather. to the west we have active weather break out not just across the tennessee valley but further west. the same system that gripped through texas, producing storms in northern alabama. the core of the system is a double barreled low pressure pushing storms in kentucky and southern ohio. cold air will come in for us by tomorrow and by tomorrow night, but a mild evening. you can see the warm surge up the east coast but cooler hair about to punch. chances of rain will be extremely minimal through the early part of next week. looks like all precipitation will stay well south of us. overnight clear, breezy. temperatures begin to drop after sunset. tomorrow we struggle through the 50s. we think we'll get to 60, struggling to get to 60. so maybe bring a area along. again, 60s are our average high and a sunny scenario. it will be tough to complain if you're lucky enough to have friday off. as we push toward easter sunday a fresh warmup. as y

in washington. southwest of us, it's another batch in west virginia and virginia. that's also moving in a general northeasterly direction. we still have a risk of picking up more rain this evening. until 9:00, 10:00, we could still see dampness in the region. take a look around the region. boy, has it dropped. 51 now. temperatures right now are running. look at this. 25 degrees colder than yesterday at this hour. guess what? 40 degrees colder than monday, when we were around 90 to 91 degrees. we'll stay clear by tomorrow afternoon, as the rain ends tonight. looks like another chance of rain will be there for the weekend. >> thank you, bob. let's click on the roads with kristy breslin at wjz traffic control. hello. >> hi, everyone. the rain definitely not having a positive effect on the beltway. if you are traveling on the beltway, on the inner loop, 95 to security boulevard, the delays up to 30 minutes at this point. another 25 minutes on the top side inner loop, from stevenson road to dulaney valley road. and the north side outer loop, also having slowing from bel
