Dont even yet have a handle on exactly who is affected and that means that no letters can go out, no notification go out. Remember, this covers people who got background checks over the last 15 years. Some of them never worked for the federal government. Some of them dont work for the federal government now. So first and foremost, they would have to track all those people down once they figure out exactly who they are. In the mean tame, what do you do for them you heard from Eleanor Holmes norton, she along with democratic senators, who have large numbers of federal workers in their district, are proposing that Lifetime Protection as well as 5 million in insurance, but there is no guess even at this point whether its the three years that opm is suggesting or if they do a Lifetime Protection what that would cost or how that would even work and all of this gives new urgency to what are known vulnerabilities, obviously not just at opm but talked about vulnerabilities from every agency, now on a 30day fast track, where every agency has been told that they have to do a number of things. First of all batch all known vulnerabilities, use information that they are getting from the department of Homeland Security to mitigate what threats there are, but also, to dramatically accelerate sort of the kind of information you have to put in to get into a system. For example, a lot of systems in the federal government you only need one password and they want to do sort of a multipassword system. In the meantime the current chief performance officer at omb is going to take over as the new head at least temporarily of opm. All right, Chris Jansing at the white house live for us.

Thousands of people cheering as South Carolinas state Police Honor Guard lowered the Confederate Flag for the last time outside the State Capitol a few hours later the crews also removed the pole andite yorn fence surrounding it.

For more perspective, here is craig melvin who grew up in South Carolina. Reporter time has changed in South Carolina. One could argue before the church massacre, there was a bit of a paradigm shift under way. I sat with Governor Haley a week ago and said that this, for her at least, is about more than a flack. Flag. It is about changing perceptions as well. As you know that flag symbolized race. And hatred and evil for a lot of people in this country. But for others, it symbolized heritage. That is not a debate that is going to end immediately. I do think there is probably bit of a misconception because the battle flag is gone we are all gonna join hands in the State Capitol and sing kumbaya. That is not going to happen. We have seen a number of confederate battle flags this morning. Seen one driving in from the airport. Seen one pop up, perhaps even a lot more in the short term. The ku klux klan staging a rally here on june 18th to call for the flag to be reinstated. This is not a debate that is going to end. But the debate has changed. A page has been turned in an un unkneeableun undeniable way, whether it is flags or monument, what do they really mean what do they really symbolize . The gun that dylann roof that police say dylann roof used in the Charleston Church massacre should never have been sold to him, according to the fbi. An examiner looking at roofs background check did not see that he had been arrested and as mid to using drugs. And that would have made imineligible to buy a handgun. But he did buy a. 45caliber handgun that he allegedly used to kill nine people. Fbi director says the fbi is sick comey, is sick this happened. A breakthrough in a case that shocked a Northern Virginia community. More than a year after a Convenience Store clerk and mother of three was shot in the head a suspect is now identified and charged. Northern Virginia Bureau chief julie carey joins us from the spotsylvania fast mart where the clerk worked. Julie .

Sheriff here im very relieved that we have made progress in this case. Reporter 33yearold Derek Sprouse is already in jail in North Carolina where he was arrested for another more recent armed robbery. Heres what i learned about him in Spotsylvania Court records, two years ago, he pleaded guilty to abusing his stepdaughter but only served six months in jail. Investigators say they cant reveal how they linked spouse to the fast mart shooting. The sheriff says the atf and fbi helped with the toppriority case. My staff and i have discussed this case every day. We have a couple detectives here that never give up and they have followed every lead. Reporter this fast mart customer who knows kelly, was happy to get the good news about an indictment. I think its great. If its him and he did commit those crimes, he needs to be put in jail. Im glad he has been caught. Reporter and coming up on news 4 at 6 00, what kelly wood and her husband have to say about this day they have long awaited. Back to you now wendy. All right, julie carey. The weather may have played a role in the death of that Stafford County couple whose bodies were found in the potomac yesterday. Investigators say storms on wednesday carried 25mileanhour winds that could have cause sold problems for the 19foot speed boat that Charles Zintner and Melissa Smarr were riding in. The couple was reported missing after they didnt return to the Stafford County yacht club on wednesday and their bodies were found thursday near their boat which was anchored and was out of gas.

Today, the mayor signed a law that will stiffen penalties against businesses caught selling the product. News4s Mark Seagraves explains. We have to put our Heads Together and figure out what the National Strategy is going to be to stop this madness because we dont want to go back to the crack cocaine days. Reporter synthetic drugs have been linked anecdoteally to recent crimes like the fatal stabbing on metro and an abandoned baby found on a downtown street. Not to mention numerous overdoses at local homeless shelters. D. C. Mayor Muriel Bowser signed a new law today that will allow the chief of police to shut down any business caught selling the synthetic drugs for four days. And to fine the store 10,000 on the first offense. If the stores are caught a second time mpd has the authority to shut down repeat offenders for up to 30 days and the business will face a 20,000 fine. [ applause ] reporter sinnet thissic theltsynthetic marijuana is known on the streets as k2 scoop i scooby snax and bizzaro. Those are the ones most at risk of dying from using it. We have to hit the businesses first. Reporter lanier acknowledged while the crackdown beginning today focuses on stores that set illegal drugs, street dealers are also becoming a bigger problem. But she says the street dealers are harder to prosecute. Theres no streetlevel field test, so to speak. So there is a delay in the time that we can go forward with prosecution. Reporter you heard the chief mention delays in pros cukes of individuals who are caught possessing and selling synthetic marijuana. Coming up at 6 00, we will tell you what the federal governments role is in that. In the district, Mark Seagraves, news4. A man who ran down a d. C. Police officer with his car could spend the next three decades in prison. A jury yesterday found kevin bruno guilty of multiple Assault Charges in a crash that seriously injured motorcyclist sean hickman.

And now for the first time today, ber hearing from that celebrity chef. Yeah, jose andreas spoke to news4s Jackie Bensen about his very public dispute with donald trump. She joins us now live with that reaction. Jacky . Reporter jim chef andreas would not comment on reports that donald trump jr. Has been getted as saying he will force him to pay out the ten years of that restaurant lease that chef andreas does not plan to use. The chef indicated thats not likely to change his mind about that. As the fallout continues from Donald Trumps controversial remarks about immigrants, d. C. Chef jose andres finds himself a somewhat reluctant polarizing figure, citing his employees and his own position as a new citizen of the u. S. , andres essentially walked away from a deal to run a restaurant in the trump hotel taking shape at the Old Post Office pavilion on pennsylvania avenue near the white house. This afternoon, andres took part in a ceremony marking the 100th class to graduate from the d. C. Central kitchens culinary training program. Clearly reluctant in the political limelight, andres spoke to us positively of the trump son and daughter involved in the hotel deal but notably, omitted the name of their famous father. This has been led by ivanka trump and donald trump jr. , and quite frankly they are two of the most unique people you can work with. They are really great people and i only wish them the best.

Scalping is illegal in d. C. , but multiple sources told the iteam that theres discussion at the d. C. Council to change the law, possibly creating legal scalping zones.
