Thank you brianne. Today, a judge ruled information and testimony about an alleged murderforhire plot can be used in the upcoming trial of Michael Gardner. Gardner, you may remember, is accused of molesting a young female family member. After todays ruling gardners entire defense team stepped down. Northern Virginia Bureau chief Jeff Goldberg explains. As the father of a young girl targeted in an alleged murderforhire plot dan rice has a hard time putting his feelings into words. To say its worth it doesnt come close. While in prison in 2013 Michael Gardner reached out to a fellow inmate about hiring a hitman to kill two 11yearold girls set to testify against him in a trial in which he was accused of molesting the girls. But they say gardner backed out after a prison meeting with the supposed hitman who was actually an undercover officer. Gardner reported all of this to his attorney who alerted authorities that the young girls may be in danger. Today, he and his associates took themselves off the case citing a conflict of interest while accusing prosecutors of setting them up and taping conversations without their knowledge. The best i can say is they used bad judgment and mr. Gardner paid the price. But prosecutors say gardners threats had to be taken seriously. Pointing the taped conversations with family members in which he said about the female prosecutors im going to take revenge on these women that are out to get me. Calling them an estrogen lynch mob. He has described himself as indicated, sheet of black anger and hes indicated that we things of that nature. Family and friends of Michael Gardner, meanwhile, are standing by his side. We believe hes innocent. Absolutely. So hard on the children and on robin, too. Yeah, very tragic. Gardner now has no legal representation. So the status of his upcoming trial remains unsettled. A hearing on the matter is set for friday morning. In arlington, Jeff Goldberg abc 7 news. After last weeks weather, your car is probably looking a bit ashen. All those salt spreaders left enough salt and brine on the roads to turn the pavement white. And all that could be doing some damage to your car. Maryland bureau chief brad bell live in lanham with a warning for us tonight about all that stuff on the roads and on our cars. Brad . Leon this weather just gives us headache after headache. Doesnt it . And this is the one, this has got to look very familiar to everybody. And this is the problem right here. Brine all over everything. Thats the problem. Its easy to see. The solution is just as easy. It gives road crews a jump on coming storms that liquid brine, highway crews in maryland, the district and virginia spray by the millions of gallons. It allows pretreatment and no doubt prevents crashes and save lives. But also coats cars as much as the asphalt. All over the car. Every car. Salt on a car is bad enough but that brine contains an additive magnesium chloride which, because of its chemical properties, is even more corrosive than the traditional sodium chloride rock salt. He runs a repair shop in greenbelt and hes busy fixing tires flattened by potholes today but he knows his customers cars are suffering from that ugly white coating as well. Just basically rust out the whole subframe of the vehicle. It causes parts like brakes rotors, things to deteriorate, ball joints. Rough on a vehicle. His advice get to a car wash that sprayed the underside of your vehicle like this one in lanham. The manager randy evans looks forward to the days when the salt and brine go down. Oh, yeah, i have no problem with that. Definitely. Great for car wash and great for the business. When you get to a car wash like the touchless here, you want to make sure youre not just concentrating on the paint, on the top side of the car. You really have to get down here and get underneath. Thats where all the damage is done. A good rainy day will take care of a lot of this as well. But we dont seem to have any of those in the forecast. You might want to brave the cold if you want to save your car. Brad bell, abc 7 news. All right brad. You didnt tell us how much he charged, though. I hope it was his car getting a good wash. Fortunately, were not expecting any major snow and ice to hit us this week. We think some frigid temperatures are coming back. Doug hill is in the stormwatch Weather Center with your forecast. What about that . Cold air is already pouring back into the area after the patches of the latest arctic cold front. Lets give you a look at numbers around the area right now. Were at 29 degrees outside the belfort furniture Weather Center. 25 at gaithersburg and manassas. 32 in fredricksburg. 27 now in annapolis. Through the overnight, well see temperatures drop between 2 and 12 degrees. Thats the range across the entire viewing area an average wakeup temperature for most of you will be around 8 to 9 degrees. Well see the temperature drop from the very still conditions. Records for tomorrow morning, the record low temperature at Reagan National airport is not in jeopardy. Nor is one at b. W. I. Thurgood marshall but the one at washington dulles is. The record is 14 degrees for tomorrow morning. Were forecasting low near 5 degrees. We will see some improvement briefly. Middle of the week. But plenty of cold air will stay in place for the upcoming week and into the weekend. Any chances of snow well lay that out in the seven day outlook in a few minutes. Maureen . Thank you. Right now the f. B. I. Is updating Shopping Mall owners across the country on terror threats. This comes after an online posting over the weekend by the group that targeted a mall in kenya two years ago. Rebecca cooper is live outside of the Pentagon City mall in arlington with more. Rebecca . Maureen, that group was responsible for killing 60 people in that attack on the kenyan mall. And this weekend, their online video said its time for their sympathizers to target western malls including here in the united states. Shopping at pentagon road today, leslie said she had just left Funeral Services at Arlington National cemetery. She wasnt about to let the terrorists win even though this weekends threat against malls made her a little nervous. I dont want my freedom to be obstructed by their trying to scare us. Thats what terrorism is they want to get you know controlling your lives. Adjacent to Pentagon City mall and the pentagon military uniforms are a common sight here at pentagon road stores. But so are families out shopping. And even young people braving the cold for ice skating lessons. Amy kim works here. And knows that sharing a name with the pentagon makes Pentagon City mall and pentagon row possible targets. Would you think twice of working here . No. With any job, theres going to be problems or issues or things like that. So no, i dont think twice before where i work. Pentagon city mall officials today wouldnt talk to us about Security Issues saying its something they dont discuss publicly. We got the same answer from other mall owners throughout the washington region but the secretary of Homeland Security say these threats are the new normal. He says shoppers should keep shopping but remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. Its the mall of america in minneapolis that was specifically tarpthed edtargeted in that video this weekend. They visibly stepped up security. Here, the parking lot is full. We havent seen any signs of visibly stepped up security but mall officials pointed out they have no specific or imminent threats of attack here in the washington region.

They think a local principal may be losing control. But first up in flames. A look at how this scene started and what i witnesses say they could see the smoke from five miles away. Thats right. The question is why a tractortrailer overturned on a highway ramp just outside of philadelphia. Morris jones is standing by at our live desk with a look at some good powerful video. Outrageous video, leon. This happened after 11 00 this morning. The tanker truck was filled to the brim with more than 8,000 gallons of gasoline. Police say the 43yearold driver was navigating the on ramp just east of philadelphia and he lost control of the truck. Hit a guard rail. Overturned with the tank rupturing and igniting the gasoline. The flames ran across the ramp down an embankment and very close to the backyards of nearby homes. A second fire started in a small wooded area behind the properties. One woman said she heard three loud booms when the crash happened and thought somebody was knocking on her door. Another resident said she heard loud explosions looked outside and thought the sky was falling. The plume could still be seen miles away in cherry hill new jersey and across the Delaware River in philadelphia. Rescuers were able to pull the driver out of his truck. He wasnt hurt. And no injuries were reported among nearby home owners. Some of them did complain of scratchy throats after inhaling the smoke. By about 90 minutes later, the fire was knocked back. All that remained of the tanker truck was charred steel and rubber. Live at the newsdesk im morris jones. Back to you. The d. C. Department of transportation tells abc 7 news that had weekends fire on the eighth street streetcar line was actually more of a spark than a flame. Will summer of the Washington City paper took this photo late saturday night. City says power was shut down to the overnight lines immediately and the car was towed off to a maintenance yard. The streetcar line was supposed to be opened by the 1s of this year but tracks are still being tested. A full investigation is now under way and that might go even longer now. Not a pretty sight. Nope. Not a pretty sight around here with this ice. Kind of like yesterday, i liked the sound of dripping, you know ice and snow melting yesterday. Trying to figure heading in the right direction at least. Only good news i gave you, i think because of the process of turning colder has been slower in the afternoon, we had wind and warm enough temperatures and sunshine to dry up the water and the roadways. Anything thats wet out there will turn to ice. No ifs about it. It will. Give you an idea of what were looking at time lapse wise. This is from centreville, Cardinal Ridge elementary school. Were cloudy and temperatures above freezing most of the day and youll see more melting occurring with the sunshine. And then temperatures started falling. Look at the parking lot, perfect example of what were talking about. Some areas are dry. But you see other areas are wet and those are the ones that turn to ice tonight. Multiply that across the area and youve got our story and our concern for the evening hours here. Especially the overnight when you drop into Single Digits. Already down to 20 degrees in middletown and southern marlboro. And the wind chills single digit digits and teens. Winds will diminish tonight. That allows temperatures to drop quickly into the Single Digits in most areas. The wind chills will be back in play toda its like 5 in hagerstown. 10 right now is the wind chill. 7 at andrews and Lexington Park in southern maryland. Feels like 2 degrees above zero because of the gusty northwesterly winds. Winds will diminish as the High Pressure moves in and the High Pressure centering off to the west now. Front is east to us now. We have a storm track going to try to get active in the deep south all week but so far, fingers crossed, most of the energy should move off the coast and up and out away from the coast. However, there is a chance by late thursday, one of these impulses could push close enough to give areas south and east of the city a snow shower or snow flurry or two. I get a little unsettled when i see computer models and satellite continuing to develop storm after storm system and move it south, just got to worry sooner or later, one of those is going to hug the coast and not peel out the same. Not saying it will. Something well watch. We know this, High Pressure will drop us tonight and the core of cold air thats just to our north and west 11 in chicago and detroit, pittsburgh. That is the air mass that will overspread our region tonight. Futurecast, one computer model kind of handles things like this with a lot of sunshine through the day tomorrow. Cloud shield to our south. Southern suburbs will see an increase in cloudiness. Should clear out by the evening. Working today wednesday. And well get a brief return of the westerly wind will warm us up to 40 degrees with sunshine on wednesday. By thursday winds will turn back to the north and turn colder thursday night and friday. At the same time one of the numbers will move across and up and that could be the mechanism to give us a few flurries south and east of the city. Heres the tuesday express. Well see sunshine and an average wakeup temperature of 8 degrees. 30 degrees by the afternoon and the next seven days look like this. Well see the temperatures up and the temperatures go back down a bit here over the next several days. I like wednesday for a little more melting. Then we get cold thursday with a chance of flurries late in the evening. Colder again on friday. Weekend right now were keeping it dry around the area with temperatures around 32 or 40 for saturday and sunday. Thats not bad. All right. Now were not the only people in the country dealing with Winter Weather. Some places you wouldnt expect to be dealing with a lot of snow and ice and steve rudin has a look at other areas of the country getting their fair share of Winter Weather, too. You know, we arent the only ones dealing with the cold here in washington take a look at amarillo, texas where they woke up early this morning to rain and to freezing rain, airport delays and a lot of travel issues out there and that storm continues to track towards the east and little rock arkansas, now dealing with snow. A lot of folks, theres some folks trying to enjoy themselves. Walking their dog. They have minimal accumulations down there. Still under a Winter Weather advisory and they want to look for more unsettled weather for the next few hours or so. To the south of us, thats where the action is right now. It stays colder as doug just said and waking up tomorrow morning, its going to be really cold out there. Doug will be back in just a little bit to talk more about the forecast.

As a busy artist sarah was living the dream until one day she barely made it home in time for call a neighbor in her building and say i left the elevator door open can you get an ambulance here. And thats about all i remember. Its all she remembers because she had heart attack. After surgery, she realized when it came to her emotions i wasnt paying attention to me in a huge way. Dr. Erin freeh says she sees this problem in many younger women in her practice. Stress frustration and anger from overloaded lives shows up in Blood Pressure depression and serious risks for having a heart attack. Cant underestimate the connection between your emotions and your Mental Health and your physical health. Dr. Freeh often refers her patients to a Behavioral Health specialist who says what we tend to do is the more things we have on our plate, something has to get scraped off and the first thing that gets scraped off is taking care of you. The doctor suggests healthy coping mechanisms for stress frustration and anger because if what you do with your anger does damage to yourself, to other people to the relationship, that was not a healthy way to be expressing that anger. She points out it is natural to feel this emotion and most of us on any given day are probably going to encounter something that will make us angry but thare certain ways or certain tools that can help you actually adapt to sort of altering that emotion or at least your response to it. I had to relook at a whole lot of things. Its not just go to the hospital and have this repaired. It is really looking at yourself fully and deeply. And thats a tough arena. Sarah has done that and now in addition to her love of art, she takes time to love herself. My work is to calm down. My work is to pay attention. If you dont, she says, you might not get a chance to see the beauty in life and in art. Thats all around you. Im liz bonis, abc 7 news. Coming up on abc 7 news at 5 00 disconnect the.

Mostly in the 20s now after mid 30s earlier in many spots. 27 in frederick. Down to 22 in hagerstown and 19 in cumberland. Colder air is on the way being accompanied by gusty winds, arctic front and thats driving the wind chills from 9 degrees in hagerstown to 13 in gaithersburg. 15 near andrews and 18 at Reagan National. By tomorrow morning, these are the air temperatures. Winds will be much lighter. Skies will be clear. And this is the way it will work. We think 5, 6 7 degree readings outside of the district will be common place. Farther south along the potomac, maybe in the low teens, 10 12 13 somewhere in that range. Very cold change from this morning. Speaking of changes High Pressure builds in and gives us a lot of sunshine tomorrow. Maybe a few clouds south of town during the afternoon as one little disturbance moves off the carolina coast but as youll see, thats expected to head out to sea as we head through the day on wednesday. Thats where a little wind change may get as close as 40 with some sunshine. On thursday, looks like the next system may be close enough. It may turn the winds to the northeast, make it a bit cooler. Maybe a snow flurry in some spots late thursday. Sunshine, few clouds well very eventually recover and thursday cloudy and colder maybe in late evening, snow shower clearing. Right now, the weekend looks dry. More coming up in the next hour. Maureen . Thank you so much.
