precaution more than 20 school districts across tornado alley sent students home early today. in nashville, jay gray, news 4. >> really powerful storms. doug has been tracking them all day. are we done with this yet, folks out there and us too? >> not even close. they're not done with it yet, jim. i think we'll be done here. we aren't expecting any severe weather here and don't expect any tornadoes in our region so even though the line is moving our way, it is not going to make its way all the way here. take a look at that line right now back toward cincinnati, ohio around louisville and down through portions of nashville and tennessee. watch that line just blow up here and this was tornado after tornado after tornado and it's still happening. we'll zoom on in toward the louisville area. now you can see it's up toward maysville and around the london area and with this we do have tornado warnings with just about every single one of these individual storms that you see here. this is all moving off toward the east so we are in for a very long night tonight. you widen out and you can see it goes all the way down through tennessee, through portions of mississippi, right on down through alabama and then over toward georgia. our weather you notice we are starting to clear out as far as the storm is concerned. we've seen rain and some thaf has been on the heavy side. for the most part we are going to get a very good break here for about six hours. we do have thunderstorms down to the south around the richmond area. they may clip extreme southern portions of maryland but that is going to be about it before they make their way out toward parts of the eastern shore. but once again we are getting a little break and then you see that line, that very strong line making its way our way. the good news i expect that to really weaken once it hits the mountains of west virginia before it makes its way into our area. there is a flood watch that's in effect for our region and we'll continue to talk about that through about 7:00 tomorrow morning. i'm not too concerned about flooding either. so they are getting hit extremely hard for us. this is just going to be more of a nuisance than anything else. i'll have the forecast for rest of the weekend in a minute. jim? >> thanks, doug. >> if there is more information about the weather out in the midwest or in our area we will bring it to you right away. in the meantime a mother waited seven years for her daughter's alleged killer to be found guilty. the jury came back yesterday with a verdict. not guilty. derrick ward is in bowie with more on what stacey seaton's mother has to say about what's happened. >> reporter: it's been seven years since a pregnant teen was murdered. down at the other end of the woods here in bowie. and for the mother of the victim the wheels of justice turned slowly. sometimes they even seem to veer off the road all together. but such is the way of that winding course we know as the rule of law. >> i knew when they walked in the door and the first female juror looked over and smiled at the defendant. i knew that was over. >> reporter: gayle seaton held out hope the man accused of murdering her daughter stacey in 2005 would be in prison by now but as of last night jarvis tyler was a free man, seen in the center here, coat over his head. the state's attorney's office offered a plea deal. 40 years. the defense balked offering 30 effectively a 15-year sentence. prosecutors couldn't live with that deal. >> there was no plea deal in this case that would have for us served justice. >> reporter: now an acquittal, a not guilty verdict for tyler despite dna evidence at the crime scene and implication in the crime by the man who already pled guilty. abraham mcdonald paid tyler $400 cash and another 200 in drugs. he wanted stacey seaton dead because he believed she had set him up to be robbed. police say tyler shot seaton as she walked this wooded path not far from her home. she was pregnant at the time. in the years that have passed since that day gayle seaton wondered if there would ever be justice for her daughter until the arrests were made. now even with the acquittal of the accused trigger man there is no wondering if justice will come for her. there's just waiting. >> justice comes in many forms. i've been very disappointed in the criminal justice system but i have met many advocates and heroes. >> reporter: prosecutors and others who helped her through. now just one more week before this ends. >> it makes me more determined that he is going to get a stronger sentence and that is my goal for next friday. >> reporter: and the other man implicated in the murder is due in court next friday expected to get 15 years. live in bowie, derrick ward, news 4. >> thank you, derrick. this afternoon the grand jury indicted anne arundel county executive john leopold. prosecutors say leopold used county police officers to drive him to parking lots where he could have sex with a county employee. he's also accused of using on duty police officers to remove campaign signs. >> police in statford, virginia have arrested a 30-year-old man. they say he solicited sex from a 13-year-old. an under cover detective had been tracking timothy ray phillips online since back in february. the detective was posing as a 13-year-old female on an internet chat line. deputies say phillips actively pursued sexual contact with what he thought was a teenager and say the suspect set up a meeting at the hampton inn in north stafford. deputies saw phillips at the hotel and busted him. now to the republican presidential race. super tuesday just four days away. there are more delegates at stake than any of the previous races combined. mitt romney and rick santorum are headed for another showdown and this time ohio is the proving ground. steve handelsman is on capitol hill with the latest. >> reporter: thanks. it will be mono-a-mono in ohio and neither of the two candidates has a home state advantage. these guys aren't wait forging super tuesday. the republican race is so intense mitt romney went to washington state where they caucus tomorrow but pick no delegates. >> i just think we have to have leaders that'll tell us the truth and are willing to live with integrity. >> reporter: truth is romney needs any boost and a win tomorrow would be good pr going into next week's megaprimary. on super tuesday, 424 delegates are at stake, roughly a third of the total needed to win in 11 state contests. it is the primaries in georgia and ohio that matter most. especially ohio. rick santorum's lead in ohio shrank to six points as he went to chillicothe. >> i'm running to give the power back to the american people where it belongs. >> reporter: ohio is more conservative and religious than michigan where santorum narrowly lost last tuesday. >> if he can win ohio he shows that he can beat mitt romney. then you get a one on one matchup and if you're the more passionate conservative in a one on one matchup with a weak front-runner like mitt romney you have a shot. >> reporter: georgia is newt gingrich's home state. he is playing up his roots. >> you cannot put a gun rack in a prius. >> reporter: newt's polling first in georgia but if he loses to santorum that's another way for romney to end up one-on-one against the pennsylvanian. >> we take our victories and our defeats and we just keep coming at them. but maybe since governor romney sort of is new to being a conservative he didn't understand that. >> reporter: santorum vows he'll still be in after super tuesday. >> and if rick santorum can hold his lead and win in ohio, that'll rock this race. doreen, back to you. >> steve handelsman on capitol hill, thank you. donald trump already envisioning his plan for the old post office building in downtown d.c. he wrote in an op-ed in "the washington post" in which he said he plans to invest more than $200 million in that building. trump says he plans to transform the old building into a luxury hotel. he expects the project to be finished in 2016. d.c. leaders are once again trying to lure the washington redskins back to town. the team's practice facility is way out in loudoun county, virginia. mayor gray and council member evans want the team facilities to move near rfk. tom sherwood heais here with mo >> there have been private talks for months but no real action on this idea. still, people have strong opinions about it. the washington team practices in virginia and plays in maryland. d.c. mayor vincent gray and council finance chairman jack evans want the washington team in washington. >> welcome to the politics hour. >> reporter: on wamu 88.5 friday evans said there is no new development since informal talks began months ago on the training field idea but a newspaper story got everyone excited. >> there have been discussions. there's no agreement. there's no nothing as far as the training facility coming to the district of columbia. >> reporter: evans says about half of a 62-acre site near rfk stadium could be used for the training facility. the skins' hall of fame and a team hotel is part of a mixed use development similar to a modern setup in tampa for the buccaneers. >> the practice facility is not just the four fields. there is a hall of fame involved, a hotel, other things that are attractive. and they use that facility 50 weeks a year. >> reporter: after the radio show evans bumped into ward 6 council member tommy wells who strongly opposes using river front land for the training grounds. >> the cost is way too high. mr. evans is not talking about the redskins coming back to d.c. but talking about practicing here so they can play in maryland. >> reporter: and some neighborhood leaders reacted warily to the idea friday. >> we zoned this for those specific uses. it did not incorporate or at any point talk about a training facility or redskins facility. >> reporter: now through all this the team so far has had no comment. jim? >> thanks, tom. coming up next on news 4 at 6:00 rush limbaugh calls a georgetown law school student a prostitute escalating the battle over contraceptives coverage. what the white house has to say coming up. an emotional day as students return to class following a deadly shooting. crooks stole a local woman's

sfor for a local law school student verbally attacked by limbaugh. he and other conservative outlets targeted georgetown university law school student sandra fluke who spoke in favor of the president's policy that includes mandatory insurance coverage for birth control before congress. senate democrats narrowly blocked a republican challenge to that policy yesterday. fluke spoke exclusively with nbc news today after she got a personal call from president obama. >> well, he called to express concern and make sure i was okay, and i am okay. and he offered his support and thanked me for speaking out about an issue that is so important to so many american women. >> reporter: rush limbaugh has not offered an apology for his comments. at least two companies say they're pulling their ad from his radio show. back to politics now tuesday a critical day in the race for the republican presidential nomination. 11 states will hold nominating contests on that day. that's why in fact they call it super tuesday. >> "meet the press" moderator david gregory joins us with a look at how the candidates hope to make the most of those races. everybody is watching what happens in ohio aren't they? >> yeah they are. virginia here is certainly an important state for the fall. and we'll have eric canter on the program, wading into the race, the nominating contest. it will be important. it's only romney on the ballot. he has a pretty good shot there. you know, ohio is not quite -- you know, the general election battleground state and it's got a similar kind of outlook certainly with all the loss of manufacturing jobs as michigan does. if romney can win there he can say look i won florida and ohio. i should be the presumptive nominee. but it is not a sure thing. >> the two guys we talk about the most are romney and santorum. newt gingrich is still in the race. does he have to win georgia or it's over? >> he does. he'll say that he has to win it. he'd like to make a run between georgia and oklahoma and tennessee and try to be the new number two. i mean, somebody has to be the anti-romney. he would like to be that guy but is fading from being that guy. that's where he has to make his stand. >> i want to ask about all this rhetoric heating up so much about the contraceptive issue. if you polled the voters they will tell you the jobs and the economy are the number one issue. we're spending all this time talking about that. it's not going to stop is it? >> well, it may not stop, doreen, because both sides like this fight. really to energize their own voting blocks. that's part of it. i think it is worth pointing out, this is a local story. sandra fluke was accused of saying something she never said. she supported the president's law. she never said she wanted more contraception to have more sex. that was the -- that was a total, you know, rogue story and what limbaugh seized on. this sometimes happens, things take on a life of their own. whether it's energizing female voters or religious voters who think this is a religious test, all of those sides sort of line up on this and it can have that impact but it won't compete with the big issues. on sunday we have newt gingrich, eric canter, also debbie wassermann schultz the dnc chair and a special edition as we look at super tuesday. >> thank you. doug is here now to check back in on our weather. >> yes. >> and also what's going on in the midwest. >> really the severe weather, this is the second tornado outbreak in three days and we have confirmed deaths, five confirmed deaths in southern portions of indiana. this henriville, indiana located 20 miles north of louisville, kentucky. this is henriville junior/senior high school struck by a tornado. that school demolished completely. there were people trapped in the high school for a time period. now i believe only one person is still not being found in that high school. the school was actually in dismissal at that time. you can see now the chopper is flying over some open land right now, not exactly over the henriville area but maryville just up the road the sheriff's office says that town is completely off the map, a town of 1900 people. don't know of any deaths in maryville but every building gone. this is why, look at these very strong storms, all across the region from portions of ohio around cincinnati all the way down toward the gulf coast states. we're talking about mississippi, alabama, and in through portions of georgia. take a look at the current colors. when i say the current colors i mean the yellows, the tornado watches. it includes parts if not half of west virginia right now. southern portions of ohio all the way down toward the gulf coast. the red, those are current tornado warnings that are there right now. numerous tornadoes on the ground. in through kentucky right on down through tennessee and even a couple tornado warnings in through alabama right now. i would expect to see more as this all moves off toward the north and the east. however, i doubt seriously doubt that there will be any kind of watches in our area and that's good news. we do have some rain right now making its way through our region. some of the heavier rain still down toward southern maryland. look at the lightning associated with this storm across richmond. this may just clip southern portions of st. mary's county but i think you'll be okay there as it makes its way across the bay and in toward the open waters of the atlantic in just a little bit. here is the heaviest rain through calvert county right now along chesapeake beach down around calvert beach. we'll see that moving off toward the east and also some moderate to heavy rain along the potomac here as you make your way down around poolesville and right up toward just the north of lubbocksville and to the south of frederick moderate rain that will eventually move right over 270. you're probably going to see some problems on the road this evening. give yourself a little extra time. you can see the heaviest rain just to the north of the beach right now along route 2 as you make your way down south. 48 degrees the current temperature with winds out of the south-southeast at 8 miles an hour right now. not only is it raining but a chilly rain. this evening not the best. 45 rate now in leesburg. 45 in frederick. 48 right now in fredericksburg, la plata, and waldorf right now with a temperature of 46 degrees. here's the front. here's the scenario. big area of low pressure wrapping itself up here with that cold front. we're seeing the warm front now come through. that's what we've seen as far as the rain is concerned so far this evening. we're going to see a little break i think over the next couple hours so if you're going out this evening, you want to take the umbrella with you but you may not need it because i don't think we're going to see any more rain until early tomorrow morning. this is 8:00 tomorrow morning and that's when the frontal boundary comes through. some of the latest computer models keeping almost all of the rain well south of washington, still a chance for severe weather in through the carolinas in through southern virginia but we may not get much at all from this frontal boundary and that would be good news. that's normally where the severe weather is located along the fronts by tomorrow afternoon. many of us, southeastern maryland, you may be in the clouds but many of us seeing some sunshine by tomorrow afternoon and not a bad day for the rest of the day on saturday. on sunday, temperatures about 53 degrees. a little bit cooler. a little breezy. mostly cloudy. we could see a couple flurries during the day on sunday. and we still have that possible light snow on monday. we've been talking about it all week long. 46 degrees on your monday. tuesday 47 degrees. as we make our way through next week we warm right back up into the low to mid 60s by the end of the week thursday and friday. once again we mentioned that light snow. that's all it would be is just the conversational type snow that we talked about so often. >> any visible snow at this point would be interesting. >> i would like to see it personally. >> thank you, doug. some people over in arlington are going around acting like cops. we'll tell you about that. >> also ahead police are trying to figure out how a man got his vehicle on to a busy airport runway. i'm julie carey in prince william county where teachers are protesting their second pay freeze in three years. freeze in three years. a look at why teachers il, any? not yet. i want to buy used but how do you know what you're really getting. check out carmax. all their used cars are guaranteed. that's where henderson found the one for him. way to go, henderson. finding the perfect car is easy at carmax because each car is carefully selected, inspected, thoroughly reconditioned and backed with a five-day money back guarantee so come find the one for you today, at carmax. way to go, neil. students at chardon high school in ohio were greeted with applause today when they went back to class. it has been three days since a student killed students and injured three others. police officers were there today to make sure everything went smoothly. on monday police say 17-year-old t.j. lane opened fire on a group of students. he has been charged with three counts of aggravated murder. one of the mrd kids remains in serious condition and the other was released from the hospital. teachers in prince william county, virginia took to the streets this afternoon, upset but not getting a pay raise and teachers in neighboring counties are. julie carey reports. >> reporter: these prince william county teachers headed from their classrooms at dismissal to this planned protest along the busy prince william county parkway. they want the public to know a proposed pay freeze their second in three years could start driving good teachers out of the county. this forest park high school teacher says right now he works with highly motivated, highly talented colleagues. >> i don't want to be a part of a highly questionable staff. if you want a world class education you have to hire the best and the brightest and they won't come here if the compensation isn't here. >> in recent years at the peak of the recession most northern virginia teachers were faced with pay freezes but while next year's proposed prince william county budget offers no raise and neighboring loudoun county a flat $1700 hike has won school board approval along with step rates for most educators. in fairfax county the school board has backed the superintendent's proposal for a 2% cost of living increase and a 2% step increase. so being their neighbor, you know, it makes you wonder how are they able to make it work within their budget? i realize their taxes are higher than ours but at the same time, we're right next door. >> reporter: prince william county school administrators say they sympathize with the teachers but were forced to prioritize. that means first funding all existing programs and services and avoiding any teacher layoffs. administrators say unexpected cuts in state education funding put teacher pay raises out of reach. >> we're sort of in this hold pattern to know what is going to come out of the state budget, what tax rate is the county actually going to set? that will determine our final available dollars. >> reporter: but even in fairfax county, teacher leaders are still uneasy. some supervisors have suggested the school funding request is too high and the state budget is still in limbo. >> we have high hopes. we always have to have hope that the general assembly will stand up and do the right thing when it comes to teachers. >> reporter: teachers say they plan to keep the pressure on until school budgets are finalized later this spring. in prince william county, julie carey, news 4. looking at the top stories this hour at least five people have been killed in the latest outbreak of tornadoes that have ripped across several states. the deaths today were reported in southern indiana. these deaths come two days after another deadly storm system killed 13 people throughout the south and the midwest. >> the man charged with killing a bowie teenager was found not guilty thursday by a prince george's county jury. jarvis tyler was charged with first-degree murder for the 2005 killing of stacey seaton in bowie. yesterday prosecutors offered his defense team a plea deal in exchange for 40 years behind bars but the defense rejected it. no deal was made and the jury found tyler not guilty. he was released from jail last night. >> reporter: more talk today about washington's football team possibly moving its training facility back to d.c. council member jack evans says about half of a 62-acre site near rfk stadium could be used for training, a hall of fame, and a team hotel. all of it as part of a mixed use development. some people in the neighborhood though say more housing and retail development is necessary to help economic development there. >> now to a financial mystery in prince george's county. some thieves have drained a woman's bank account before she even realized anything was missing. pat collins reports on a crucial mistake the victim may have made. >> reporter: police looking for this pair of crooks who they say systematically wiped out a woman's savings one atm withdrawal at a time. this was money she was going to use for her child? >> it absolutely was. >> reporter: and it was how much? >> almost $6,000. >> reporter: gone. >> gone. >> reporter: the victim is a 43-year-old woman from temple hills. she had an andrews credit union account and a navy credit union account, an atm card from the navy account, and a p.i.n. number from the atm all in the same place in her house. all in the same place in her house. police say the crooks wrote checks from the andrews account to the navy account and then used the debit card at atm machines to make withdrawals. $500, $200, $200. $600 over and over again until there was nothing left. detective tammy chafee is working the case. she says the victim wasn't robbed, that her house wasn't burglarized. so how did these crooks get the goods? >> reporter: you've shown the pictures of these two suspects to the victim. >> yes, sir i have. >> reporter: and she can't identify them? >> no, sir, she cannot. >> reporter: do you have any idea then how her checks and the atm card and her p.i.n. number were taken from her house and ended up in the hands of these suspects? >> we have no idea. >> reporter: here now the moral to the story. >> unfortunately sometimes we're our worst enemy. we write the p.i.n. number on the back of the card, keep it in our cell phone, put it in our checkbook. we fall victim to these. >> reporter: we set ourselves up. >> yes. absolutely. >> reporter: if you recognize the people in the pictures, police want to hear from you. in prince george's county, i'm pat collins, news 4. police in vienna, virginia warning of a possible construction fraud there. they say somebody targeted a home owner who was a victim of a recent earthquake back on january 31st. the worker went to a guy's house on college street and offered to fix the damage. after a couple hours the worker said he was done, asked for $4,000. the home owner paid him but later consulted a contractor who told him the original worker only painted over cracks and did not fix them. police haven't been able to find the person. arlington county police are looking for three suspects pretending to be law enforcement officers in order to commit crimes. so far there have been at least two incidents. the first last month at a home in the 300 block of south fillmore street in arlington. the suspect told the home owners they were police officers and then pushed their way through the door. a mother was inside with her two children. one of the men held the family at knife point while the other suspect robbed them. the next incident happened the next day in the 3700 block of lee highway. a police impersonator stole $160 from the wallet of a driver he illegally pulled over. police say they don't believe the cases are related. federal officials are looking into a security breach at the airport in philadelphia. home video captured the incident yesterday. 24-year-old guy driving a jeep burst through a chain link fence and drove on to a runway right into the path of a plane that was about to land. air traffic controllers in the tower immediately ordered the pilot to abort. the plane circled above the airport as police chased the jeep. after about five minutes the driver was stopped. they arrested him. he's been identified as a guy named richard maizic who lives in chads ford, pennsylvania 30 miles outside of philadelphia. police say he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol and the incident was not related to terrorism. nobody was injured. looking at a live picture of our skyline. it's beautiful out there. kind of a red glow you can see. doug kammerer is in the storm center with the latest on our weather and on what's happening out in the midwest with those tornadoes. doug? >> a really nice shot around our region. unfortunately we cannot say that for the rest of the country right now. still dealing with tornadoes happening out there right now. there are numerous tornado warnings all across portions of the midwest including ohio, illinois, down through or rather ohio, kentucky, tennessee and down to the south. this is video from a little earlier this afternoon around southern indiana where we do have at least five people confirmed dead in southern indiana right now. this is the henriville area where kids were just getting let out of school. you can see one school bus there goes right through a house there. right through a business that came through that area and this damage easily looks like at least an ef-3 tornado with winds of up to 140, maybe 150 miles an hour so we'll have to wait and see how strong the storms were but it doesn't matter how strong they were. you can see the damage across the area. this was in henriville with about 3,000 people in it. the same storm went down to marysville, indiana and destroyed the entire town. there is the storm itself, the line of storms making its way across the region. you also see the region around us. we have rain associated with the area but no severe weather here. the areas in yellow, that is the area you see there. those are all tornado watches from mississippi all the way up toward ohio and western portions of west virginia. the areas in red are current tornado warnings. right now the city of chattanooga, tennessee under a tornado warning and they have been told to take cover in the city of chattanooga and tennessee on the tennessee/georgia border. once again a devastating situation for them. for us you notice we're starting to see a break. the rain continues to move out. there are thunderstorms around richmond and just to the southern portions of st. mary's county you may see some heavier rain, maybe a rumble of thunder or two but that is going to be about it. then this gets out of here. we'll have a little time before the next round tries to move on in. this round right now you can see it back toward charleston. numerous tornado warnings associated with it but die not expect it to stay intact as it crosses the mountains. that is great news for us. i expect to see some showers and thunderstorms overnight but die not expect to see the severe weather. the strongest rain right now calvert county. you're seeing heavy rain. frederick county also seeing fairly heavy rain and then some light rain across the rest of the area including the district. there is a flood warning or flood watch in effect until 7:00 tomorrow morning. i'm not too worried about flooding but because of the rain a couple days ago and what we could see tonight there could be some areas of flooding. turn around don't drown. do not drive into flooded roadways. there could be a few through the night time into early tomorrow morning. >> thank you, doug. still to come tonight new plans for at&t cell phone users who send a lot of texts. >> local students get a chance of a lifetime performing with the great smokey robinson. >> we'll tell you why a family can now keep their house pet. today is dr. seuss's birthday. it's also a day set aside in schools here in the d.c. area and across the nation as "read across america" day. volunteers from the navy read to kindergarteners at an early childhood center this afternoon. books included the cat in the hat and the lorax. other prince george's county elementary schools students celebrated by making breakfast of green eggs and ham to honor another famous dr. seuss book. at&t is limiting its unlimited data plachb to its wireless customers. under the new policy a subscriber will see slower data transfer speeds once they reach a certain threshold. a company spokesman says the change will affect only about 5% of the subscribers and also said it was straining the company's network. at&t stopped selling unlimited data plans a year ago. however it allowed existing customers, those who already had it, to keep it. >> you'll need extra time this weekend if you plan to use metro especially if you want to use the red line. three stations will be closed on metro's busiest line. shady grove, rockville, and twin book. three shuttle buses run between shady grove and white flint to get you to work. trains will single track between east and west falls church on the orange line and trains will also share tracks between eastern market and stadium armory on both the orange and blue lines. all work begins tonight at 10:00 and should be done in time for the monday morning commute. we're looking to talk a little redskins. they have the name of their franchise player. it is a little interesting who they selected. plus why the capitals' forward keith aucoin traded skates for hot wheels. that story when news 4 at 6:00 that [ male announcer ]at 6:00 this was how my day began. a little bird told me about a band... ♪ an old man shared some fish stories... ♪ oooh, my turn. ♪ she was in paris, but we talked for hours... everyone else buzzed about the band. there's a wireless mind inside all of us. so, where to next? ♪ so who got the franchise? >> fast freddy davis. >> really. >> sleepy as people may know him. this is actually a good thing. right now fred davis is not going anywhere at least for now. the redskins used the franchise tag on their talented tight end, the franchise tag prevents davis from becoming an unrestricted free agent. the redskins can match any offer from another team or if they allow davis to leave, they get two first-round picks as compensation. that's pretty good but almost never happens. davis coming off a career year with 59 catches, 796 yards. if you remember he was suspended for the last four games of the year for violating the league substance abuse policy several times. if davis tests positive again, he will be suspended for one year. so franchising davis is a low risk deal for the redskins since it is only a one-year contract. however, davis will make around $5 million making him one of the higher paid tight ends in the nfl. okay. gregg williams and the new orleans saints apparently not so saintly. the nfl preparing to come down hard on the saints for a bounty system they had in place. the saints' bounty pool which may have reached as much as $50,000, paid players for knockout hits like this one and cart-off hits. gregg williams who was the saints' defensive coordinator is now with the rams. you may remember he was also the defensive coordinator for the redskinss. he is the man who was largely responsible for the system and according to several redskins players he had the same system in place with the redskins. philip daniels who actually works for the team again says that some players got paid as much as $8,000 for some of their knockout hits. >> oh, my. >> yeah. >> you like it though. vance likes it. >> i'm surprised. >> i'm not. >> old school, man. like buddy ryan back in the day. >> that's right. nothing new. >> nothing new at all. things starting to look up for the capitals' win at home tonight. they will be riding their first four-game winning streak since early january. tonight the devils at verizon center and sunday the flyers come to town. the caps getting production from unlikely sources lately like forward keith aucoin. it's been an unbelievable week for aucoin. last saturday against the maple leafs he scored his first goal since october of 2009. a big moment for a guy who's been called up and down by the capitals several times. he's been shuttling between hershey and washington. an even bigger moment two days ago when aucoin's wife maureen gave birth to their first child. baby boy braden. the thing is aucoin was in d.c. when his wife went into labor. >> i broke a lot of speed limits on the way there and i think i made a lot of people mad cutting them off. a bunch of traffic trying to get through but the due date was march 9th so a little early which nobody expected but it's a special thing, leap day. i think j-lo had their babies on leap day. my wife was pretty happy about that. it ended up being just an amazing day. >> first goal and first baby. pretty cool and exciting time. >> not bad. good for him. >> pga tour guys at the honda classic and several guys were going low. nobody as low as brian harmon. he is only a rookie but he is a smart rookie. his dream golf foursome, megan fox, heidi klum, and kidd rock. this is brian harman the rookie out of georgia. he's a georgia guy. you got to like him right? you know what? he misses that putt but still shoots the course record 61 two shots behind the leader. this is a pretty good shot by tiger woods on the par 4 13. look at this thing. it lands and draws back like it's on a string. >> how do they do that? >> backspin. i wish i knew how. tiger five birdies, a bogey, and double bogey. justin rose was rolling. second of back-to-back birdies for rose, at eight under tied for the lead with tom gillis at the honda classic. college hoops, maryland will be a number 8 seed in next week's acc tournament but first the terps wrap up the regular season on sunday at home against virginia. speaking of the cavaliers they are on the ncaa tournament bubble and it may have burst in charlottesville last night. mike scott, and others all being honored. hosting florida state. it was senior night. second half. this isn't the way seniors are supposed to do it. a little collision here. bernard james and joe harris. but watch closely. james said get off me. kicks harris. coach leonard hamilton said what are you doing, dude? so james is ejected and the seminoles trail by 10 after the free throws. five seconds to go. tied at 60. ian miller, big shot. time running off the clock. seminoles end the game on a 16-2 run. virginia fans are stunned. the cavaliers lose a heart breaker, 63-60 was the final. it was just an exhibition but the nationals did get their first win of the spring. 3-0 over georgetown. bryce harmer in case you were wondering went 0 for 2. now the nationals do have a new ad campaign this season that's getting ready to start shortly and is kind of catchy. check it out. >> some people say you're either born with it or you're not. i've had people tell me i wasn't big enough, not fast enough, not strong enough. there is no pressure on me. the pressure is on the pitcher. if he throws it where i want it, then i want a piece of it. i don't care if you're the best. i'm going to get you. i want to make sure they're watching. >> i'm buying some tickets. a little more dramatic. that's it. >> if they can play like that spot that'll be a good thing. >> yes. all this breaking weather news today. let's get another check with doug. >> we'll take a look at video out of parts of indiana and kentucky we shot earlier, that was shot earlier. take a look at that video out of southern portions of indiana right now. really just complete devastation. homes there completely destroyed. you can see parts of the high school there completely destroyed, too. this was the junior/senior high school in henriville, indiana where they did have at least one or two deaths in that area. but southern indiana five deaths reported out of these storms and i'm sure we'll, unfortunately, see more out of this. there is still numerous tornadoes out there right now. take a look at storm 4 radar and you can see what i'm talking about. that line now in eastern ohio right through portions of west virginia and then down through western or rather eastern portions of kentucky. we'll zoom into where this line is the strongest. charleston, west virginia just to the south and west of charleston. a monster storm and then another one. see the ones that have the little white balls in the middle? those are the ones that have the hail, golf ball size, and the ones most likely producing tornadoes there. that line is moving our way. however, by the time it moves over the mountains it's going to encounter much more stable air. that is very good news for us. you can see the rain we had earlier is now moving out of the region. most of the evening hours should be on the dry side but i recommend taking the umbrella just in case we see a shower or two come through. that line if it does hold together will make its way through here in the overnight hours and of course i'll have the latest update for you coming up at 11:00. there is the latest picture in our region showing us that rain is now out of here. tomorrow here's the good news turning partly sunny. mild and rather windy. it's going to be quite nice tomorrow. sunday, monday, and tuesday. we get a little colder. winter trying to hang on just a little bit. >> all right. thank you, doug. coming up next local students got a chance to warm up with music great smokey robinson. smokey robinson is here in d.c. to perform at a fundraiser for the duke ellington school of the performing arts. that will be tomorrow. smokey is an artist whose music spans many generations. today students have a special performance where some of smokey's greatest hits were sung. erika gonzalez has our report. >> reporter: he's been performing for decades and can still make a crowd happy. smokey robinson got more than just a round of applause from students and staff at the duke ellington school of the arts today. >> our strongest common bond is the love of music. >> reporter: robinson is in town to perform for the school's fifth installment of the performance series of legends at the kennedy center tomorrow night. >> i want to hear just a little bit if you would indulge us. ♪ . >> no, no. >> come on. come tomorrow night and you'll have all of it. >> all right. >> reporter: the duke ellington xoofl the arts has been around since 1974. at tomorrow night's concert which is sold out by the way they hope to make about a half million dollars and all of that money is to go toward continuing to fund this amazing school and its stellar students. it's really important as a vocal major to stay with the same teacher from your start to finish and if it weren't for those benefits and stuff like that i wouldn't have been able to keep those teachers. >> reporter: before robinson takes the stage with some of the students tomorrow, he reminded them their focus should be on equipping themselves with the right education to enter the work force with strength. >> show business, maybe in your mind is your number one priority but you got to switch that over. >> reporter: afterwards students showed their gratitude toward robinson with art work, poetry, song, and dance. this concert hasn't even made the stage yet and we've already got the scoop on next year's concert. >> patti labelle, shakakahn, lionel ritchie are some of those we're already talking to. >> reporter: in northwest d.c. erika gonzalez, news 4. coming up tonight on news 4 at 11:00 we'll have much more from the ground in indiana as the terrible damage becomes

owners association told them they have to get rid of the kangaroo. they tried to explain that the roo served as a service animal for their 16-year-old daughter kayla. she suffers downes syndrome. her parents say caring for the kangaroo is good therapy for her. the story hit the internet and a lot of people wanted kayla to keep her kangaroo. the home owners association withdrew the demand. the family says it expects to keep the roo at home for about a year until they can move it to a wild life park that they plan to open. in the meantime -- i notice that there's no collar or leash on that kangaroo. >> it's inside the home. >> you don't take a kangaroo for a walk? i suppose that's how it works. it gets along well with the dog. >> that thing can get six feet tall. >> quickly. >> so you
