7:03 am
death of freddie gray. charges range from assault to murder. >> the findings of our comprehensive, thorough and independent investigation coupled with the medical examiner's determination that mr. gray's death was a homicide which we received today has led us to believe that we have probable cause to file criminal charges. >> yes! >> reporter: cheers after state's attorney marilyn mosby announces charges against six officers. mosby says freddie gray died of spinal injuries when placed on the floor of the transport van. he was driven around handcuffed, shackled but unrestrained. his announcement triggered celebrations across west baltimore, the same streets where gray's funeral led to riots and loots days earlier. mosby is pleading that today's marches are peaceful. >> last but certainly not least, to the youth of this city, i will seek justice on your behalf. this is a moment, this is your

indictment. >> i can tell you that's simply not the case. as i stated from the moment of this investigation, i sent my own independent investigators to the scene to witness -- to interview witnesses. we've utilized and leveraged the police department's investigation to verify the facts. the information again that was turned over to me yesterday was not new to the state's attorney's office. >> surae chinn will have more on mosby and the charges against the six baltimore police officers. the man who cut a fire hose during the riots in baltimore on monday has now been arrested. 22-year-old greg bailey cut those hoses while crews were trying to put out a fire at a cvs that had been set on fire and then looted. the arrest comes just a day after the investigators circulated these photos of the suspect. we're tracking developments in a triple shooting in capitol heights, maryland. one man is in critical condition. two other victims have nonlife

7:10 am
7:11 am
good saturday morning. 7:11. a beautiful day headed our way. little leaguers on the way. the big wine fest at national harbor. not a bad time to get outside. >> not a bad time whatsoever. the weather will be looking much better than yesterday. high temperatures returning to the 70s throughout the metro area. let's get it started right now with a look outside and a look at our day planner as well. the jefferson memorial, i love all the green. so nice, isn't it, to see that green returning to the trees and the grass and everything like that. 60 degrees at 9:00 a.m. 70 at noon. that's pretty much our average high temperature for this time of year. so we're going to get a little
7:12 am
milder than we would expect thistime of year. northwesterly as we head through the day at 5 to 10 miles per hour so a light breeze. temperatures are in the 50s as you head from the beltway and points north and west. kind of unusual. we normally see the milder temperatures closer to the water but right now that water is still very cool so if you are going to be close to the chesapeake, close to the ocean at all today, you will see a little bit of that cooler influence. however, winds will be out of the northwest so there won't be a sea breeze today. a satellite and radar, nothing is heading our way. that area of low pressure to the south of us remains to the south of us all day long. on 9 futurecast, just a few clouds. we're not seeing much after potential for a sprinkle or shower. maybe a light stray shower positiving through pretty much any part of the metro area. 9 futurecast trying to pinpoint for us it will be in southern maryland but i believe there's a potential for a very quick shower or sprinkle pretty much anywhere in the metro. so as we head into sunday morning, we're back to clear skies and it will be nice and comfortable. we're going to see high
7:13 am
temperatures near 80 degrees on sunday. a better potential for seeing a sprinkle in the mountains on sunday. i think the immediate metro area stays completely dry during the day on sunday. so over the next three days, no surprise here. green weather alerts. look at these temperatures, though. up to 80 degrees on sunday and 82 on monday after today's high of 72 degrees. and in the first alert seven- day forecast, all good things must come to an end so we're looking at the potential for a thunderstorm on tuesday. those high temperatures remaining right around 80 degrees throughout the entire workweek. so after all that chilly weather we endured for what felt like an eternity we're now going to see a nice long stretch of warm weather in our forecast. fake i.r.s. agents are so yesterday. now scammers are putting a new twist on their efforts so they can steal your money. lesli foster tells us how. yeah, mike, fraudsters have a new trick up their sleeves.
7:14 am
consumer reports says they're looking up your personal info on the internet so when they call you about a debt, it seems more believable but you can out wit them with personal questions. ask them for their license number, the name, address

7:19 am
we're scanning the satellites now for the best caught on camera video of the week. a man walking down a sidewalk in rio de janeiro was unhurt but hundreds of soda bottles came flying off the truck. the truck driver lost control. that loosened the cargo. can you believe it? that man is fine. the soda spilled everywhere. >> i would not be fine. that looks very scary. a only -- this is also very scary. a woman potentially set a gas pump on fire while a man was fueling up and it was all caught on surveillance video. officials say the woman started the fire the at an israeli gas station after the man refused to give her a cigarette. at first she walked away but then she comes back. she sparks the flame. it looks clearly like she sparked the flame igniting that gasoline. there's a furry bandit on the loose in michigan. the panda bandit. see the guy with the headgear.
7:20 am
he is on the run in three rivers after police say he robbed the gas station. he has the panda hat on. however, he's only snatching goods. so far he's not gotten his panda paws on any money. >> panda paws, i like that. coming up in our 7:30 half- hour, we'll head to winchester for their 88th annual apple blossostm feival. >> plus, using your cell phone to report cases of police brutality. we'll have more on the apps that are now acting as a line of defense. >> we have a gorgeous day ahead. lots of sunshine and comfortable temperatures as well. just how nice it's going to be coming up. >> good morning. everybody. i'm larry miller. want to give you a quick update on some issues with metro this weekend. red line will be running every # to 15 minutes. orange line every 18 minutes and the green line trains will be running every 15 minutes. the baby walk takes place this morning at 9:00.

7:23 am
welcome back. a lot of the freddie gray tragedy has played out on social media in this new digital age, everything from cell phone video to tweets are now part of the conversation. >> surae chinn is standing by in the newsroom and is going to tell us about some of the social media trends we've been seeing. >> reporter: that's right. twitter has been lighting up about baltimore since this happened and certainly it's no different as charges were leveled against the six officers. i want to show you some examples if we have them. a lot of them have been celebrating this next level of information that has been coming out from the state's attorney's office. people have been positive but not all of it has been
7:24 am
positive. by the way, the baltimore chapter of the fraternal order of police released a statement regarding itself charges against these -- the charges against these six officers. in an open letter, gene ryan wrote in part each of the officers involved is sincerely saddened by mr. gray's passing. they're all committed police officers who have dedicated their career to baltimore city police. and hear are some of those tweets i was talking about. continual denial of justice would have brought mayhem. and here's the letter saying they are disappointed and it has been a -- [indiscernible] on twirt the -- on twitter the fop says their gofundme account was suspended. it was to raise legal funds for those officers. they have no explanation why that gofund me was suspended. we are working to find a new site for donations the fop says
7:25 am
and they thank everyone for participating and donating. by the way, those officers, those six officers that we're talking about turned themselves in last night and they also posted bond. that is the very latest in the newsroom. we also want to go right to jonie. while it's legal to film police officers while on the job and now developers are partnering with advocacy groups to make smartphone apps to help people document police abuse and let them know they're right. the net footage goes straight to u tiewb. its -- youtube. here's an android app called 5.0 and it lets users review their interaction with police. they can get positive or negative ratings which then become searchable. then there's stop and frisk. it lets you film interactions with police by pressing a trigger button on the home
7:26 am
screen. here's another app that's gaining in popularity. >> reporter: they e arimages of police brutality that have become all too familiar, captured on video that went viral but now there's a new weapon in the figh police brutality called the mobile justice app. you hit record and with the tap of a finger your video is for longer just yours. once you stop recording not only does the app save a copy of your video for you, it always sends a second copy to your nearist aclu office. >> i think that really democratizes police encounters in ways that will be helpful. >> reporter: zachary norris, executive director of the center for human rights helped develop an app along with the aclu of southern california. he calls it the people's body camera. >> that really helps to raise the visibility of these police encounters and reduces the blue wall of silence that we see too
7:27 am
many officers hide behind. >> reporter: it lays out your reports when recording and alerts other users if you're having an encounter with an officer. most of the people we spoke to said they'd use it. >> i would feel more protect fundamental i could get video and somebody will be behind me to support me with that video. >> if it makes everybody more honest, then that's okay because everybody needs to be checked. >> you can find these apps by going to the app store on your smartphone. for wusa9 news, i'm jonie v. still ahead this morning, breaking baby news from the royal family. >> a judge's ruling could open the door for thousands of drivers. the challenge to fines and fees. >> a great afternoon. we're also going to speak with the event organizer for d.c. moms taking the catwalk. one of our very own is participating. you want to stay tuned and find out about that. >> weather wise, there we go, a beautiful shot of the white

7:32 am
forecast here because we have such a low chance but i did want to let you know that if you feel a few raindrops today, it's not going to be a long lived event. that rain will be over in about 15 minutes if it happens for you at all. look at these temperatures. 72 at 1:00. 74 at 4:00. winds nice and light out of the north and northwest at 5 to 10 miles per hour throughout the entire day. we're getting off to a fairly mild start as well. 50 in winchester and martinsburg. that's nice. 50 in manassas and gaithersburg. 46 at andrews but 53 in downtown washington. you can see on satellite and radar that there's still some cloud cover lingering but that is going to break up. the showers are done so we have a nice afternoon on tap. temperatures getting even milder as we head into sunday and monday you'll want to stay tuned for the details of the first alert seven-day forecast coming up. mike? >> thank you, erica. the family of freddie gray has been calling for peace after the charges were handed down yesterday against six police officers who stand accused of being part of the can iing of a bat -- killing of

7:34 am
good shock. >> reporter: they've been charged with felony counts anywhere from misconduct to murder charges and they also posted bond yesterday. back to you. the watching and waiting is over. kensington palace announced this morning that the duke and duchess of cambridge william and kate welcomed a baby girl into the world. >> we're live in london with the latest. people compingout side the hospital -- camping outside the hospital. good morning, susan. >> reporter: good morning. it's been called the great kate wait. people have been camping out here for weeks now and the need came here has been waiting, more media accredited for this birth than even for prince george two years ago. now britain and london all celebrating the new princess. police are standing outside the

7:36 am
when prince george was born, they kept the name choice quiet for several days first letting the queen know. the top connedders for names is alice at number one and elizabeth, charlotte, victoria and the sentimental favorite is diana. back to you. >> it will likely be announced on social media just like everything else they do these days. the new royal baby will be fourth in line to the british throne moving ahead to prince harry and making it unlikely the child will ever become queen. crews will return to watergate as they continue to search through the rubble. a cadaver dog made a possible hit on a victim. however, the search is on hold while crews try to stabilize the structure. it's unclear what caused the

7:47 am
see we're clearing out that little bit of remaining cloud cover and as we head through the day, the clouds will slightly develop again here on 9 futurecast. you can see the potential for maybe just a sprinkle, not a big deal. i think that 9 futurecast is trying to pinpoint this to be in southern maryland. however, anywhere in the immediate metro area we could see a quick sprinkle or shower. on sunday it gets even milder and that will of course lead to a better potential of a few showers in the mountains but not in the immediate belt way or metro area. we'll keep it mostly warm and dry throughout the entire weekend monday as we add more heat to the atmosphere, we'll fire up that potential for showers again in the mountains i think we keep it dry here in the immediate metro until tuesday. so just that slight chance for a sprinkle today with a high of 72 degrees. up to 80 on sunday. then take a look at monday's high temperature. 82 degrees with lots of sunshine. in the first alert seven-day forecast, tuesday is the day that we have the greatest
7:48 am
potential to see a thunderstorm. a cold front to our north kind of triggering a shower or storm with a high of 82 degrees. it's really going to start to feel like summer as we head into this workweek. check out this high temperature on wednesday. 80 degrees. a chance for a lingering shower. even after that cold front moves through we'll see temperatures remaining in the 80s. so i guess that we're getting a little bit of a break from that chilly weather that we had for most of the month of april. in our saturday health alert, new aids research center is opening here in the district. andrea roane has the details on that and the annual food bank fund raiser by d.c. lawyers. >> reporter: good morning. there are two new cases of h.i.v. every day in the district. to fight this spread the d.c. center for aids research is being established at george washington university. it will include over 200 researchers and clinicians from three gw schools and five major
