the family is still inside their house. it doesn't seem like they plan to come out soon or make statements about the case. one thing we have heard is some of those restraining orders that we mentioned, we've heard from sources the suspect's father was possibly one of the people who filed a restraining order against his son, but because those are older restraining order cases, they are in storage, so it will be a process to get some of those actually out. >> question understand those restraining orders are tough to get to. it may take us several days to get a physical copy of those complaints. as this story continues to develop, we'll bring you the latest on air, online and on our wusa9 app. it sure looks and feels more like march than may today. the rain is kind of pulling away, though. howard bernstein is on the weather terrace tonight.
