11:06 pm
live here at reagan national airport, i'm shamarry stone, news4. we've got some breaking new details tonight in that shooting at a mall in san antonio, texas. we've learned the person who died was a good samaritan who tried to stop a robbery. san antonio police believe two people confronted a pair of armed robbers at a jewelry store inside the rolling oaks mall this afternoon. the suspects shot and killed one of the people who confronted them. but the other good samaritan shot and critically injured one of the suspects. police say that good samaritan was licensed to carry a concealed weapon. one suspect is in police custody now, but the mall still on lockdown as officers are searching for a second man. >> our detectives right now are going through the stores, talking to people to see if they have anything that they can add. >> four other people were hurt in the ambush. officers say two of them were shot. their condition, unknown at this hour.

been charged with reckless driving. police in d.c. are searching for this girl, saiddy adams is just 13 years old, and officers say she was last seen on wednesday in northwest a few blocks from sherman circle. she may be wearing a purple and blue coat and tan pants. police are asking anybody with information about where she is to please contact police. those cheaper tolls that you're paying on maryland's roads is not really having much of an impact on the state's bottom line. that conclusion from maryland's department of transportation. governor harry logan slashed tolerates in 2015 in a tax relief measure. new numbers from transportation officials show the state collected about $5 million less in 2016 according to the baltimore sun, the biggest revenue drop, about $28 million was on the bay bridge. but a jump in highway traffic on other roads made up that difference. all right. the big game is set. the super bowl is set.
11:09 pm
you'll see a familiar face on a very successful team in that big game. i'm sure you've seen this all over social media. sherry bur sherree burruss joins us with the matchup. >> there's this guy. his name is tom brady. maybe you've heard of him, right? the new england patriots quarterback will be making his ninth super bowl appearance, the most of all time. he'll be facing the atlanta falcons, who haven't made a super bowl in almost 20 years. a lot of people feeling like this, seeing the patriots heading to yet another super bowl. new england taking down the steelers 36-17. when you've been to seven super bowls like bill belichick, the conference championship trophy, yeah, just clearly not as cool anymore. but it's really cool for dan quinn and the atlanta falcons heading to just their second super bowl in franchise history after matt ryan and the falcons dismantled aaron rodgers and the packers, 44-21. ryan making
11:10 pm
appearance. super bowl li kicking off on sunday, february 5th. houston,texas. i did just check, though, and in the last hour, tickets for the super bowl are going to cost you a pretty penny. the cheapest ticket i saw online was over $3,400, and that's in the rafters at the stadium. so carol maloney and i are going to have more on the super bowl coming up on "sports final." >> every good husband in america is like this is my birthday and christmas present for the next ten years if i can get there. meanwhile, an attorney for 50 people arrested during rioting on inauguration day say that some of them were wrongly arrested. today mark goldstone says that police took innocent observers, including two journalists, into custody in northwest d.c., and some were charged with felony rioting. goldstone calls the charges an overreach.

11:15 pm
president trump's message of unity. today he told advisers their jobs are about serving the american people, not party politics. about 30 of them were sworn in this afternoon. that theme of unity may carry into tomorrow night. president trump will host a bipartisan group of law makers at the white house, where they'll likely talk about his congressional agenda. but something in the discussion within the trump administration is raising concern tonight. president trump has promised to move the u.s. embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem. as nbc's matt bradley reports, reaction split. >> reporter: it's a holy city, a focal point for three major religions and the declared capital for both israelis and palestinians. but the u.s. doesn't recognize jerusalem as a capital for either people, and no country has an embassy there. under president donald trump, that might be about to change. >> we will move the american embassy to the
11:16 pm
of the jewish people, jerusalem. >> reporter: moving the embassy from tel aviv would be a symbolic gesture with very serious real-world consequences. it's been more than 20 years since the u.s. congress passed a law relocating the u.s. embassy here to jerusalem. a few presidents have pledged to follow through, but so far each one has deferred the move. both bill clinton and george w. bush promised to move the embassy during their campaigns before backing away. mr. trump's comments have already sparked protests. if he follows through, palestinian officials have said they will withdraw their recognition of israel. palestinians say jerusalem is their capital too. the city contains some of the most important pilgrimage sites in christianity and islam. >> my message is please don't do it because it's not going to have nice consequences on the political track. >> reporter: but israelis say jerusalem has been the
11:17 pm
of violence won't change that. >> it is a symbol to follow up with the reality that we live in, and it's in line with our history. so for me, it's just do what we need to do. >> reporter: moving the embassy could set peace talks back decades. many fear it would inflame an already volatile situation. matt bradley, nbc news, jerusalem. millions of passengers rode metro on friday and saturday. in fact, the g.m. said today that more than a million people used yesterday making it the second busiest day in the transit agency's history. the inauguration and the women's march were two monumental events, and now it is time to clean up. and that job falls on the national park service. news4's darcy spencer updates their progress. >> reporter: all of the crowds are gone, so what's left to do now is the big tear-down after the inauguration. here at the lincoln memorial,
11:18 pm
big stage they set up for the make america great again concert. >> that's it, that's it. >> reporter: crews worked into the night. everything has to go. all the fencing, the stage, so life can get back to normal here in the nation's capital. work here at the lincoln memorial is expected to be done by thursday. crews picked up the white decking that was placed on the national mall to make sure the grass wasn't trampled on by those attending president trump's inauguration. and officials say it worked. >> first glimpse as it comes up still is revealing that beautiful, lush, green grass. you know, if that hadn't been down and the rain and the feet, we'd probably be looking at something considerably different. so we're very excited that that seems to have done its job. >> reporter: it could be march before you can once again see an unobstructed view of the white house from lafayette park, where the grandstand and reviewing stand have to be dismantled. they took two and a half months to build. according to the national park
11:19 pm
structures with concrete footing and hard-wired electric. that's why it's going to take so long to tear it all down. at lafayette park, darcy spencer, news4. >> announcer: and now your storm team4 forecast. you can cedarcy holding her umbrella in her story. that's going to be the case through tomorrow. not only that, but the wind as well. you want that strong umbrella unless it's going to turn inside out. as we look to wednesday, it's mild near 60 degrees. then your weather for the upcoming weekend, already thinking about that. it's going to feel like january. upper 30s and low 40s unlike this weekend. feeling more like spring out there. we're tracking showers right now across the area. more steady rain moves in overnight tonight as the winds pick up, and then rain and wind greets us tomorrow morning at 6:00 a.m. notice widespread showers across the area. look what happens as i stop future weather at 9:00 a.m. notich
11:20 pm
that's a more moderate rain impacting the area. so if you're commuting at this time, know it's likely going to be a slow go. we continue to track moderate rain through the midday hours. then as we head into the afternoon hours, we do start to track just scattered showers across the area. notice future weather putting out snow back in the panhandle of west virginia and winchester as well. i think we could see some wet snow in areas like petersburg, but i think it's bringing this snow line a little bit too far to the east. for just about everybody, this is a rain only event. that being said, showers continue at times monday night on into early tuesday morning. i'm going to stop future weather here at 7:00 a.m., and you can notice just about everybody is dry. then throughout the day on tuesday, we stay dry. but again tomorrow is a soggy day. for the morning commute, we're not only dealing with rain but wind as well. recess for the kids likely indoors tomorrow. unfortunately for the evening commute, showers possible. damp roads at that point. if you're trying to head skiing
11:21 pm
looking rainy at liberty, white tail, maybe only some wet snowflakes mixing it. currently we're in the upper 40s and low 50s. that's where we'll be tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m. then throughout the day, slowly falling temperatures. around 47 by 7:00 p.m. the steadiest and heaviest rain and strongest winds during the morning and midday hours. as we head on into the afternoon and evening hours, the wind's not as bad and the rain not as steady. but then on tuesday, the winds pick right back up. it's another windy day with a mix of clouds and sun throughout the day and a high temperature around 50. maybe some showers around before 7:00 a.m. as we look at the next ten days, here's wednesday that i mentioned. near 58. plenty of sunshine. cooler on tuesday, 52. mid-40s on friday. then, erika, next weekend, chilly, highs around 40. no signs of snow in the forecast. you have to think this ten-day puts us toward the end of january. >>
