Jo were life at george washingtonr university tonight, tom fitzgerald, fox5 local news. S. Now to the story that has cap investigated social media this afternoon. Singer chris brown and police. Ad it started at 3 00 a. M. California time after a woman at browns house called 911 1. She reportedly told police thatp brown threatened her with a gun. Officers responded, but people inside the house would not letlt the officers inside without a want. When they returned a few hours later with that search warrant, brown and several other people o eventually came outside the house. Police are questioning them. No one has beenpo arrested. Throughout the deal, though, brown took to instagram and posted some profanity laced messages. Well keep you updated on the latest what this story. After the 911 1 outage in d. C. This past weekend were asking whats been done now to help ensure you get the help you need in an emergency. The outage was caused by aby Maintenance Contractor who actually flipped the wrong switch. Calls should have been rerouted to a back up center but that system failed. To make matters worse this also police and fire. Fire Lindsay Watts has been coveringn this story. Th she is life in the district with more. Lindsay. Reporter tone initial as yon know,it this is not the first te we have been talking about 9 t issues in the dmv this summer. Last month montgomery countyth m system went down and then earlier this month sprint was having issues with its servicets and it prevented customers from calling out. So this does really make youyou think about how reliable is 911 when you could have issues with your own personal phone or thero could be a system outage like we saw over the weekend. He since then we have been askingig d. C. Officials what they are doing to make sure somethingu like this doesnt happen again. For one they are now staffing two 911 dispatch centers. This center right here near Howard University is typically not staffed with coaltars. Its only used as a backup center, but for now there are dispatchers inside around thee clock. As we mentioned, when that main 911 dispatch center went down over the weekend, the center at video, calls were not rerouted to the backup center like it should have been and its still unknown why. The district is now, woulding to test a new fail safe program ana in theil meantime d. C. Is having two 911 center weve learned that some cities always have two 2911 centers running, but thatin is not theg, case here. We caught up with mayor bowsersr here and asked her what assurances can you give the residents. This was her response. We have identified the roothe r cause of this outage and we are investigating the root cause off the equipment failure. So ive ordered our teams to do a stop to bottom review of the Technology Problem and were actually going to have our chief Technology Officer lead that effort. I also asked the mayor about the outrage factor here. Tha 911 in the Nations Capital in the middle of the night. That contracting p company is cm still working for the documents although that specific employee is now no longer allow intoow district buildings. The mayor says there are now conversation underway about what kind of access contractorstrac should have. Frankly were looking to see if this should only be district employees that have access toess that room. Thats my kind of first selectel opinion. Well have to see if that is appropriate for a contractor. And going back to that questiont now of can you rely on 911 . On most of the time the systems are working. Wo its rare that we have an outage like we experienced thisxper weekend. At the same time from what weve seen this summer there is noo doubt that outages can happen. This is a Good Opportunity toopo look up the phone number fore your local police and fire stations, save those numbers i your phone so you have those there as a backup resource 6789u also know the locations of the buildings in case you should have to drive there. Ther connect with your local government, fire and police onnd social media. This weekend, when that outageua happened, the district used facebook and twitter to get thet information out there to the public and also to rely the alternate people that people could use to get help.
