He was an amazing, amazing artist. His music will live on forever. Reporter it wasnt the first local tribute to the music icon a group put on purple and gathered outside the warner theater.

Police think that theyre keeping all of their information close to the vest as well, stressing that this is still an ongoing investigation, but they say they are finished here at paisley park, that they have turned it back over to representatives of prince. That as these fans continue to mourn the loss here and say they will continue to honor a man that say shaped their generation providing a soundtrack for decades. A lot of emotion here as you might imagine. Thats the latest live outside of paisley park. Before i ask you about plans for funeral arrangements there, i want to ask y information we were learning about princes state when he had to make that Emergency Landing in illinois. That new information we got today. Reporter yeah, its interesting because we were told initially that they went to the hospital because of flulike symptoms, but nbc news has confirmed that in fact the call from that plane was that there was an unresponsive male. That means twice this week here at paisley park where he died and in that plane on the way home after a concert in atlanta that prince was deemed unresponsive. A very serious condition. Obviously serious enough for an Emergency Landing and a move to a hospital in illinois. Two serious events and something that will be key as this investigation continues. What about Funeral Plans and any more public tributes well be seeing in the coming days, jay . Reporter we know there is going to be an all it started last night and it will continue.

Im doreen genzler. Here at news 4 were committed to our series on changing minds about Mental Health issues in our community. There are some statistics out today from the centers of Disease Control and p prevention. More and more women are dying by taking their own lives. A 24 spike in suicides in the u. S. Between 1999 and 2014. Thats their highest level in almost 30 years. Researchers saw increased for middleaged men and women, but saw the largest jump among white and native american women. Suicide rates for adults over the age of 75 has actually decreased in that time period. Joining us now to offer insight is a guest with the American Foundation for suicide preventi prevention. The cdc lists suicide as the tenth leading cause of death in this country. What is behind these numbers in these increases . It is a health issue. Many things come together when someone dies by suicide or has a suicide attempt. That risk increases with life stressors, with health factors, but Mental Health and someone struggling with Mental Health problems is at greatest risk. Thats what were seeing in this country, people not getting the correct access to care. You know, if you look at things that we need to do as a society, we need to get our federal and local officials on the phone. We need to say, you need to fund the National Violent death reporting system so we can know more about these statistics. We need to tell people there is hope and help available. One of the things in this report found the biggest increase in my demographic, middleaged white women. Can you talk about that group and what we think is involved in the spike in that number . What we know from research and existing data is that there are higher rates of suicide and baby boomer cohort, the baby boomer generation. And as they have aged, that has continued to ascend. There is also increasing factors within that age demographic like divorce and Substance Abuse, opiates, opioids, combined with high rates of Substance Abuse can create tremendous risk for suicide. Access to lethal means is really the key here. We have to limit access to lethal means to people in crisis. What does that mean . Whether it is firearms or other types of means, opioids. If people are struggling, if people are in crisis, family members need to get them to a safe place and get those means away from them for the time being so they can get treatment and help. In most cases these people are not proper Mental Health treatment and care. Is part of the problem the screening thats taking place in our medical system in general that we dont treat Mental Health issues the same as other Health Issues . Absolutely. We have to put our brain on the same level as we would with our heart, our stomach, our kidneys. If an individual went to the emergency room for a heart attack, we wouldnt tell them in the middle of their heart attack that they needed to start working out and start eating better. We would get them immediate help. Someone in crisis, their brain is not functioning correctly, so weve got to tell them youre having an issue with a brain thats a Physiological Health issue. You can get treatment just like you can with any other physical health issue. There are a lot of warning signs when people are in crisis and lots of information available, particularly from your organization, the American Foundation for suicide prevention. You all also sponsor all sorts of events all where people can go for more information. Were at afspb. Org. We need to get people access to good health care. We need to save lives.

Well tell you about the tag team rescue in Prince Georges County. Im Darcy Spencer in bethesda where Montgomery County police have arrested a man in a Home Improvement scam. Ill tell you how he was ellegedly abl i dont believe that big money can buy votes not in our district. And i wont claim to have single handily passed just about every bill in annapolis. We cant settle for the same old politics, not when our basic rights are being threatened by trump and cruz. Ill stand up to their bigotry and be a passionate voice for maryland women and families. In tv and in business, i built relationships. Im Kathleen Mathews and i approve this message. Know youre budgeted for the expected, and the unexpected. Know that at least the process of buying a new home can be clear and simple. Know your investments can make retirement closer than you think know. The one word behind all the guidance we provide, tools we create, and services we offer. Because when you have insight, you know. Welcome back at 5 30. Police warning you to be aware of a scam tonight going around our area. Thats right. Individuals posing as contractors and offering to do repairs. This evening were learning about a man accused of creating damage and then getting a woman to pay to have him fix it. Darcy spencer is live in bethesda with details. Darcy . Reporter erika, i spoke to the soninlaw of t 79yearold victim. He is obviously very angry that she was taken for more than 2,000. It makes my blood boil. I mean, its despicable that people would pray on other people this way. Reporter evidence that a repair guy made this hole in the roof of his 79yearold motherinlaws home and then told her a tree limb damaged her roof. It looks like they bashed it in with a hammer or a hatcher and then stuck a tree limb through it with a picture in their cell phone. Reporter allegedly he told her he was doing work in the area when he noticed the tree limb. They didnt have any business cards or a ladder. They borrowed her ladder to get on the roof. They put an old shingle on that any rain would run in and leak into the house. A nice touch. Reporter Police Charged the man with theft, destruction of property, and other charges. Hes accused of similar crimes in Fairfax County. He also scammed a woman in kensington. He got a deposit in that case of 300 and then just never returned to the home. She never saw him again. Reporter there have been a dozen Home Improvement scams in the county just since march 1st. Police are warning residents beware and dont feel pressured to hire a repairman that comes to your door offering a quick fix. Things happen in the heat of the moment. If they didnt call to this person to come to their door, they dont need to be talking to this person. Reporter thats right. That 79yearold woman quickly realized that she had been taken. She put a stop payment on her check, but it had been cashed at a Check Cashing store. Now that business she owes them the money. The one thing these victims have in common that helps explain while they were targeted. Reporting live from bethesda, news 4. All right. Cue the music. Capitals just one win away from moving on. And we are counting down tonight, folks. Not an easy task against a flyers team coming off that big win up in philly. Jason, what is the main thing this team has to do to close it down tonight . Reporter well, jim, i think the capitals want to get off to a fast start against the philadelphia flyers. We all know the closeout games are extremely difficult no matter who the opponent may be. No one wants to see a game six on the road in a hostile environment. Thats why they want to take care of business tonight. The last two games in philadelphia, it was the flyers who jumped out to the quick start scoring first in both those contests. The caps were able to play up in game three thanks to a slew of power plays, but that wasnt the case in game four. A former capital was in net for philly. He was outstanding. The caps know they must raise their sense of urgency. We have to come out tonight and play with a lot more moti emotional value in our game. Theyre a quick start team. We need to do the same thing to them. We have to have that mentality and urgency and then go from there. We want to play good in the first, second, and third. But if something doesnt happen, were still confident we can still play through everything. We dont have to give them any brief in the beginning of the game. Caps can get off to that hot start they want to. Puck drops at 7 00. One of the caps top defenseman, he is out tonight. Hell miss his second straight game in this series with an upper body injury.

Thats a powerful reason why we do. Women vote is responsible for the content of this advertising. How often do you look up and admire all the trees that are lining the communities . Well, this week the Arlington County board officially named 23 notable trees. As david culver found out on this earth day, theyre more than just trees. Theyre living legacies. Reporter outside Arlington County fire station four, sounds of change. Obviously, you can hear in the background the change thats happening here. We wanted to try to take some steps to try to preserve it as much reporter the commander talked about preserving this, well, tree. Its not just a tree. Reporter the southern magnolia went into the ground outside the station in 1965. Look closely in this photo. Thats the same tree standing just a few feet tall some 50 years ago. To understand this personal connection, you need to know about captain archie hughes. Ive talked to some of the older gentlemen who are still around. They said captain hughes was probably someone who could have been a fire chief one day. Reporter but at 33, his life cut short responding to a house fire. He didnt come out when the rest of the crew did. Reporter the young roots went into the earth in memory of captain hughes. This week arlingtons board officially named it a notable tree. Arlington county has been running this program for nearly 30 years. In total, they have some 300 a some of them in public spaces, like this elm. Jamie helps run the program. He says its about recognizing the owners are caretakers as much as the trees. And let people know with proper care you can have a notable tree someday too. Reporter that proper came from captain hughes fellow firefighters and those who have since been stationed here. Thats what were trying to preserve is the memory to make sure arlingtonians know of his sacrifice. There is going to be a major change in trash pick up for everyone living in Prince Georges County. You may have noticed fliers on your door announcing the change. Well, the county is moving to once a week trash pick up instead of twice a week. Starting in may, the county will begin distributing some new trash cans. There just wasnt enough trash were going to eliminate the second trash pick up. Were going to keep those resources into quality of life programs like litter pick up. Prince georges county leads the state in recycling. Thats part of the reason why theres no longer a need for two pick up days. Heres the latest on storm team 4 radar. Tracking some areas of rain, especially south of the district.

Reporter even with marylands tough gun laws, Prince Georges County has seen a 53 increase in homicides and 14 in nonfatal shootings since last year, but many of those guns are coming from out of state. One of the things we suffer from is our surrounding neighbors dont have the same type of restrictions that we have. Reporter the rise on gun violence in the county is frustrating at best. Hes calling for other states to adopt gun licensing laws like the one maryland enacted in 2013. In Domestic Violence and homicides that are committed, they were committed with guns that were legally purchased somewhere else but brought legally into the state of maryland. Reporter according to our nbc 4 maris Maryland Voters if laws covering the sales of guns should be more strict, 59 said yes. What maryland is doing is working and now other states should do the same.
