Fox5s teisha lewis is life in the neighborhood with the storyw reporter we talking about hatefilled hey spraint acrossd an arlingtonhe neighborhood. Now were hearing about several areas in this neighborhood were targeted. Some misbehaving teenagers with too much time on their hands may be to blame for this round of hate speech. Even though tonight police areit turning to the public for help to catch these young people. These are the messages se residents woke up to thisis morning all were too offensive to show in their original form n on tv, but whoever is responsible to this. And right racial slurs and antii gay messages on sidewalks, and lawns in this neighborhood. Police believe it all happened around 5 30 this morning, longog before am people are awake.

Now to Montgomery County where e man is suing the School System saying the emergent programs are discriminatory saying the School System failed to publicize the opportunities to interested andr qualified students of color and those from lower income families. If families dont know about p these programs youre going to get the same type of familiesfai applying and getting in. Thats what school magnets. Black and latino students are 50 percent of the population here in the county but they maky up less than 5 percent. Thats a very wide disparate think. While we cannot count on the specifics actually this is a School System statement, schoolo system statement. T while we cannot comment on the specifics of the complaint, the issue raised highlighted common concern of which we are well aware, far more families wantaml their children to attend emergent programs that we have face for. That statement continues to say this year we had nearly 700 applications for kindergartenine and only space for around 300 students. The rained stayed away this afternoon but some of you in the dmv may see some more showerse tonight. Lets check in with sue for theo very latest. I was so happy to see that deck of clouds today, tone initialone let me tell you. While we didnt miss out oniss round one this mor pass this afternoon because thee clouds hung tough. Cl we didnt get the sunshine thata would have destabilized the atmosphere. We did get a lot of sunshine in the south, but look at the heavy rain that continues down there. As you mentioned, we may not done l locally here, eitherher because there is a little bit of activity that is pushing south out of pennsylvania tonight. Ia there is some lightning associated with this. This is north of baltimore. But you can see it continues moving southeast so some of our Northern Maryland communities may run into a little bit ofbit this, a about it of lightning, nothing terribly strong. The path and some of the places that are in the path of the storm, chester town. N. Its even possible it could get a little bit closer to howardo county later tonight. Bottom line were going to keep a chance for a shower and evenen an isolated rumble overnight bui we still have a front that has to pass through the area. Look at this, so. So am severe thunderstorm warnings, tornado lightning, flash flooding all going across southern virginiaii tonight. In the red area, just in thehe last 30 minutes still 384 lightning strikes in the last 40 minutes and we are at 106789. 15 tonight. Oni the reason we cant end the thunderstorms because this frontal boundary i could just enough to trigger a few more storms. Our frontal boundary is stallino when you see it in theun red and blew like that, it means itsts stationary or stalled so we have to keep clouds in the forecastoc r tomorrow, maybe more showersor and a few thunderstorms ons on friday. By far and away the best chance of seeing that will be where the frontal boundary stalls out andn right now the Storm Prediction Center thinks that area is going to be through North Carolina and southern virginia and certainly they could get another round off strong winds, hail and veryer heavy rain tomorrow. We could still see a Little Something around here but itbut should not be our area of low pressure that will ride along the front willil have a setup that we will havehe to keep a chance of a thunderstorm for friday.

Officer good son acquitted on all charges including Second Degree murderr in connection with freddiefred grays death and outside the courthouse. Are still three more officers charged and awaiting trial. Back to you. Hours after the judges decision in the freddie gray case, baltimore is quiet, but thatat doesnt mean people are are satisfied with the not guiltyot verdict for officer good son. He of course was driving the transport van that freddie graye was in. Despite some people being disappointed with the verdict,dt others say it was fair, but charges was a kneejerk response for a community that was in turmoil. Thanks for joining us. Its always good to see you. Thanks for having me. R ha we heard present the policet union up in baltimore. They have said from the beginning these knee jerk. They came out today and said the rest of the charges against the three other officers that need to be tried should be vacated. What do you this i about thatbou and do you think thats a reality . Im sure the other defendants attorneys are going to bomb us and the argument will be basically the judge has looked at the case, all of the facts and all of the circumstances and the judgece based on the law that they cant meet the burden of proof. Unless they come up with new evidence youre probably goingay to get the same result in the i following three cases. E ca one of the things that people th talk about really since the beginning with these cases isass the pocket that the states attorney in baltimore overcharged these policed th officers. Do you think that is factoring into how these decisions are being made in the court . Ie dont know that id say that, sy but its clear that the the the judge agrees that that was theas case at least for these two bench trials. Als. I thought that their best shot after the first acquit al fournier oh, in would be Reckless Endangerment which would be the lowest charge. All the way up to Second Degreeo murder it was clear after thehe first case they werent evenent going to get that. Hat. When you say hes in big big trouble, what do you think this means for her future. Politically i dont know thai its a killer. Seeing some people say and this is a death penalty. I had cases like this, we prosecuted somebody won, somebody lost. My predecessor didnt win any of these, but he still was elected county executive. I think that the community understands that these are touge cases and i think theres goingo to be a big segment that feels shes just bringing them any. The attorney for freddie grays family think that people might understand these verdicts better if cameras were allow inllow maryland courtrooms. We spoke out about this after the veeric was red. Part of the frustration, they believe and i believe its backward that it doesnt commits all of the citizens of baltimore and indeed all of the citizens of this nation to see and hearnd the trial themselves. We have all the systems tostem permit that, but this system starting with the higher court has said no to putting cameras in the courtroom. The public has a right to see for itself why this is a not guilty verdict and whether thatt was the appropriate verdict in this case. E. Youre from maryland, what dod,w you think about that . I have to say from the media point of view where we cover these things its very easy for us, people on the street to give their opinion, but we dont see necessarily what goes on in the courtroom that might be very differentery from what you hear in the news. It has to be because the news has to con dense daysan of trial. Im a big component event in the courtroom. Its controversial. Cont especially after the oj and there is a lot of news that that case was distorted by cameras and court, but ive always thought that the public had a right to see it. Even if you do audio, but aud something that allows the community to hear word for word what happened in the courtroom so they can draw their ownwn conclusion. Let me ask you, moving forward here, what will happen next . You as a defense attorney, dotto you think they will go ahead and file that the charges be dismissed . What will this means for the community . What willhat this mean for these officers moving forward . Well, i think the officers are ultimatelytima going to be acquitted. I think at the back end of thatf theres aette s off administrative proceedings thatp theyre going to have to face. They could stylus their jobs orb some sort of sanctions or demotions. So thats a possibility. I think politically miss mostlyt is going to be in 2018. My gut is shes going to be okay. It will be a pole riced raise. She was elected at a poll riced raise. People want to know. They feel someone needs to be held responsible. He how do you answer that for them . How do you solve that for them . I think for a lot of peopleeopl their sense is that thats not going to happens here. The question becomes whatecom happens with the next step . You have a new mayor coming in. You have a new police commissioner, relatively anyway, very experienced, someone i worked with here down in Prince Georges County and i knowdo hes good. I think were going to have to try and move that the rightigh direction so they can have a sense of trust. We appreciate it. Thanks for coming in. Glenn ivy. Coming up next tonight going to meet a group who have over come life changing obstacles. The new Hotels Falling last f month. Coming up a pretty big surgeon in april. Media homes rising to 290,000.

They are recalling the safety gates. Led accident len, a jury deciding that the rock and role group did not steel the openinge music to its ionic song, gateway o thats business, im charles man one. Why should over two hundred years of citi® history matter to you . Well, because it tells us something powerful about ogress. That whether times are good or bad, people and their ideas will continue to move the world forward. As long as they have someone to believe in them. Citi® financed the transatlantic cable that connected continents. And the panama canal, that made our world a smaller place. We backed the Marshall Plan that helped europe regain its strength. And pioneered the atm, for cash, anytime. Eh for over two centuries weve supported dreams like these, and the people and companies behind them. So why should that matter to you . Because, today, we are still helping progress makers turn their ideas into reality. And the next great idea could be yours.

Got a pass on Severe Weather this afternoon and evening, buti that was not the case on tuesday and we have some incredible video to share with you you thanks to justin burke,e a meteorologist in boston. He got this video. What youre watching is the forming we believe of that ef0 that touched down in woodbine. Watch the spin and the rotation. Of course this was an ef0 whichc means it had 80 Miles Per Hour winds. We want you to see this becauses this is so typical that we mighe see in our area where you really dont see the frontal comingront down necessarily, but what youyo do see is the rotation in thee storm.

With what we see tomorrowomor probably widely scattered, but rule it out on friday. The weekend is still lookinglook sunny and fantastic. There may still be a few cloudsw around on saturday morning, but then they should clear out. Ut.

This is all moving southeast, a little bit of lightning with that and certainly some good heavy down powers moving along nicely, but that also in Howard County and maybe on into and returned al countyount tonight. Again its not going to beto anything like weve been seeingn down to our south which has been absolutelily massive with all of the lightning strikes thats continue down there much thatsu the same region just a little bit farther south that has the best potential tomorrow for more Severe Weather. We probably could see something, but it would be more in the garden variety category and not severe. Those clouds really protected ut from getting a severe outbreak. 82 at Reagan National and itsis so humid out there as you wellel know which is keepingeepi temperatures in the 70s. Expect the humidity to continueo with our stalled front. We look like well get maybe into the low 80s, but clear ted out for the morning. Orni at 8 in the morning, maybe somee fog and drizzle, 73.

A sense of purpose, a feeling of accomplishment and often camaraderie, fox5s broad logan has the story of people combating the Potomac River to just a half mile away from the commotion of the district, the ride of the seer convenience awakens, surrounded by rushing white water. All i can are rocks and trees and birds and theres no sign of human civilization. I can completely forget im 15 minute away from metro buses and traffic and politicians andolit everything thats going on in the city. Ity. It is well worth the trek. A haven for pad letters and a trop list for pedalers. Coming to the river was a place to release that stress. What a venue that we have in the washington, d. C. Area, this river, this is world class white water. Some come here to escape. Others come to train. But the pad letters and Team River Runner come here to heal. Kayak means work boat so it helps with healing and purpose. You need to a little bit more assertive. With one chapter at Walter Reed Medical Center we saw some guys missing limbs. Mi thats a no brainer well put them in a kayak. When you lose your leg or you lose your arm youre losing a lot of yourself and youreure lo guys here dont take that as i cant do something now. Theres so many things you can do. Mike what know, he had his leg amputated after getting cancer when he was just three years old. Life is so much more thane t sitting in a wheelchair and youd can do so much more. E.

For those that tell themselves they cant, joann his crew will do anything to prove that they can. Ive got quad amputees, three oh them have paddled with team river now. And complete quadriplegics are paddling with us. Or we put them in a double kayak and we take them out. Do you want to get in a boat . O .

Told him that he wants him to die running white waterht and not of cancer. I mean, who does that . We didid that. They do that multiple times a week, in the pools at walter reed and on these rapids, the very same rapid where the us white water team trains, where they can forget about their daily struggles. Literally breaks the day. You cannot be at work. You cannot be thinking aboutthin Something Else when youreour running white water. Nnin you have to be present in the moment where youre at. When youre doing that, think about the power that somebodyomb has posttraumatic brain disorde and posttraumatic stress. Absolute shared freedom. Ive built friendships that will go on for rest of my every day it makes you not think about what your own issues are. When i start to think about ive got a problem, what do i do, i close my eyes. Thats what my blind friends see everyone, that. I dont have a problem. Blem they over come those things. And then its just a speed bumpp and they keep moving. Mo this is one of those stories that when you hear people say i cant, you just stop. Because you clearly can. A beautiful story, beautifully shot, and very inspirational. Indeed.
