or are you a quote, proactive cooperator, meaning in essence, you're working for the government? >> paul manafort's lawyer said there is no collusion, and it took place long before he came to the campaign. few people knew the volunteer named george, who has already proven to be a liar. new information tonight. police in prince william county. >> reporter: this is a just before halloween story thats are really has some neighbors here in woodbridge terrified. it started as a road rage incident out here on spring woods drive. police say a 19-year-old got into some kind of conflict. they're still not sure exactly what, with three people in another car. the three people started taunting him, tailgating him. he was terrified, and he rushed to his family home. came inside the townhouse here, but it didn't stop there. the three followed the young man inside the house and started attacking his father. his mother, she grabbed a baseball bat, tried to protect him. that bat was wrestled away from her. a woman pulled a gun. one of the suspects. and threatened to shoot the doctor and kill him. two of the other suspects attacked him, and stabbed him repeatedly. they finally left. the dad had to be taken to the hospital, but when they left, that was the chance for the family to call the police for some help. >> we went up the street here, and the ambulance was over here. >> reporter: neighbors say they are really shocked by all of this. >> it's crazy how people do stuff like that. >> that's, you know, a little bit terrifying to know that can doppen, especially here next continue their hunt at this point for those three suspects. but they say, should this ever happen to you, don't go home. not the right thing to do. head for a well lighted spot, gas station, something like that, even better, head to a police station. >> investigators say the suspects were driving a black honda with a yellow stripe on the side. it you know anything that can help, call crimestoppers or the prince william county police. we know a lot of you mom, dads, and kids are getting ready to hit the streets for some trick or treating. >> i think it's almost picture perfect. it's cool, comfortable right now. it is 57 in frederick, and leesburg. we'll talk about the timeframe. 6:00p.m. to 9:00 p.m., it's going to be cool, it's going to be dry. temperatures 45 to 55. if the kids are out later 9:00, if you're out 10:00, or 11:00, up near frederick or gaithersburg, or leesburg, you might see temperatures in t he30s. we made some big changes to the weekend forecast. >> thanks topper. right after the break, new details on the sexual harassment allegations against kevin spacey, involving his brother. and big news for the house of cards program. >> and of course, we're continuing to stay on top of this breaking news from manhattan. at least six people were killed when a rental truck driver barreled into people walking, m mark herring, candidate for attorney general, and i sponsored this ad. adams argued before the supreme court to give employers control over your access to birth control. adams also supports giving employers the power to block access to affordable contraception for 1.6 million virginia women. and adams opposes abortion even in cases of rape, or incest. john adams: wrong for women's health. wrong for virginia. independent press says they're false. fear mongering. absurd. and was an army doctor for eight years. in richmond, dr. northam helped pass longer sentences for gang members and mandatory life sentences for violent sexual predators. ralph northam: i'm ralph northam, candidate for governor, and i sponsored this ad because i'm a pediatrician, and for ed gillespie to say i would tolerate anyone hurting a child is despicable. more big news tonight, surrounding actor kevin spacey. >> netflix is now suspending protection on the upcoming 6th season of "house of cards." yesterday it was announced that the sixth season would be the last. a decision supposedly made before the recent allegations. also today, spacey's brother telling the new york post that their father sexually abused them for years. fellow actor anthony rapp claims spacey picked him up, threw him on a bed, and laid down on top of him back in 1986. spacey apologized, but says he does not remember the incident. a warrant for actress rose mcgowan. authorities say she left behind personal belongings that tested positive of this. she tweeted out yesterday that the warrant is a load of you know what, and we're paraphrasing it. the actress says this warrant is just an attempt to silence her. coming up tonight, a wusa9 investigation into marriages involving minors. how young is too young to tie the knot?

bike path. governor cuomo and mayor de blasio. bill sweeney, in charge of the fbi offices, standing up here with me too. we have cy vance, and members of the state police. first of all, i want to say today there was a loss of innocent life in lower manhattan. the dead and injured were just going about their days. this is a tragedy of the greatest magnitude. for many people, for many families in new york city and beyond today. i want to commend the response for nypd officer who was on post near the location who stopped the carnage moments after it began. also the work of the first responders, including the fire department, and ems personnel, truly helped save additional lives. i'll give more chronology in the next can couple of minutes. right now, i'd like to introduce mayor de blasio. >> thank you, commissioner. it's a very painful day in our city. a horrible tragedy on the west side. let me be clear, based on the information we have at this moment, this was an act of cowardly act of terror, aimed at innocent civilians. aimed at people going about their hives who had no idea what was about to hit them. we, at this moment, based on the information we have, we know of eight innocent people who have lost their lives. we know that this action was intended to break our spirit. but we also know new yorkers are strong, new yorkers are resilient, and our spirit will never be moved by an active violence, and an act meant to intimidate us. we have been tested before as a city, very near the site of today's tragedy, and new yorkers do not give in, in the face of these kinds of actions. we'll respond as we will be undeterred. and i want to thank everyone at the nypd, all our first responders for their extraordinary efforts in the midst of this tragedy, starting with the officer who stopped this tragedy from continuing. all the first responders who came to the aid of those whoer injured. the investigation is underway. to get all the facts, and what we know is preliminary. but we know we'll get down to the bottom of what happened. i want to ask all new yorkers, all americans to keep the families of those lost in your thoughts and prayers. they will need our support, and i want to ask all new yorkers to be vigilant. we know it's halloween night. and we know in days ahead, people we ask all new yorkers to live by if you see something, say something. tell an officer. be vigilant, and know there will be extensive additional deployments of nypd officers this evening, and throughout the evenings ahead. we will also keep you posted as the nypd gains more information. governor cuomo. >> thank you. first, our thoughts and prayers are with those new yorkers who we lost today. it reminds us all how precious life is. they left the house this morning. they were enjoying the beautiful west side of manhattan on a beautiful fall day, and they're not going to be returning home. and that shock and that pain is going to bevery real. our first responders did an extraordinary job. the nypd, the fdny, the fbi, the new york state police, ems. we have the finest security on the globe, and to see them in action today proved that once again. the new terrorist tactic, which they've called for publicly, are these lone wolves who commit an act of terror. this is only preliminary. only a few hours, but at this point, there's no suggesting a wider plot, a wider scheme, but the actions of one individual who meant to cause pain and harm, and probably death, and the resulting terror. and that we will be vigilant. more police everywhere. you'll see them in the airports, you'll see them in the tunnels. it's not because there's any evidence of any ongoing threat or any additional threat. it is just out of vigilance, and out of caution. and the truth is new york is an international symbol of freedom and democracy. that's what we are. and we are proud of it. that also makes us a target for those people who oppose those concepts. and we've lived with this before. we felt the pain before. we feel the pain today. but we go forward together, and we go forward stronger than ever. we're not going to win. and if we change our lives, we contort ourselves to them, then they win, and we lose. we'll go about our business. again, there's no ongoing threat. there's no evidence of that at this time. so there's no reason to have any undo anxiety. you will see more security forces, but that's only because it's an abundance of caution. not a signal of anything else. and there will be some continued investigation, and justice will be done. but to those who lost, they're in our thoughts and prayers. to the first responders, thank you, thank you. you put your life on the line every day. you do it better than anyone else. and to new yorkers and live your life and don't let them change us or deter us in any manner, shape, or form. thank you. >> thanks governor cuomo. thank you mr. mayor. as i said, i'm going to go through the chronology here. we're not
