i'm aaron gilchrist at the live desk. we're watching a hearing happening on capitol hill talking about those unmanned aircraft systems, we call them drones. they are becoming big business across the country. right now this transportation committee in the house is having a hearing trying to learn more about the technology and trying to talk about how to create the right regulatory systems to make sure that drones can be used safely. pilots are a part of this hearing talking about the potential threat the small aircraft are having for commercial pilots who are in the skies now. listen to what one pilot had to say. >> the faa numbers show more encounters are happening more often. for pilots, these uass appear out of the blue. they're much smaller than other aircraft. some uass do not have lights. they have limited contrast against visual background and they move much more slowly than airlines. >> the pilot offered an example and perspective of how pilots

can see or not see drones in the sky. this hearing is supposed to be an informational one for the congressional committee. the faa just has a small window to get the right regulations in place so that drones can be used and that they're able to maximize safety, utility and the economic benefit so many industries are trying to see. chrysler may be facing a walkout. walkers are ready to walk off the job at midnight unless a new contract agreement is put into place. union remembers rejected a tentative deal last month. there's no word on which plant will call for a strike. volkswagen elected a new chair this morning. vw's ceo says the company will start recalling cars with illegal diesel software in january. 11 million cars are affected. volkswagen plans to have all of

this week is mental illness awareness week. it's the 25th year that the national alliance on mental illness has used the first week of october to offer support and to end the stigma that can come with mental health issues. this morning we're looking at some of the issues that affect people in our area the most. dr. joshua weiner joins us now. we want to talk about something that timely affects us, the oregon shooter who is said to have asburgers syndrome. many say there's no connection between asbergers and violence. do you agree? >> in general, yes. people with autistic spectrum disorders do have difficulty in general with managing their tempers. they have a low frustration

tolerance and a harder time calming themselves down if they're disappointed or upset with something. i have one patient in my practice on the spectrum who punched his teacher and broke her ribs when he was upset with something she was doing. with all of that said, i would have no problems with my children hanging out with a kid who has a spectrum disorder. it's very, very uncommon for the vast majority of them to become really violent. >> it's said that only 5% of violent acts are committed by people with a mental problem and people with mental problems are more often the victims. what do you say about that? this one confuses me. i hear this i heard other psychiatrists talk about that, and i think it's strange. the vast majority of people with mental illness, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder are not more likely to become violent. but if somebody becomes extremely violent, like this shooter o a spouse killed

because the other spouse is cheating on them. we may not have a label for it now in the diagnostic and statistical manual, but there is something wrong clearly with that person mentally, whether it's an impulse control disorder or they have an anger management problem or a personality disorder. i think it's strange to say they don't have a mental illness of any type. we want to talk more about the stigma and misconceptions of mental illness. we'll ask you to wait here and we'll come back to that in a bit. do you want a more comfortable see the on that long flight

i'm aeun yang, a new airbus design is lighting up social media. how would you like to be stacked on top of other passengers on your next flight? not so much. on the bright side, this design allows at least some of the

facebook will now let you draw on your photos. you upload a photo, hit edit and draw away. it's the latest tool facebook has unveiled to let people more fully express themselves. it is available on ios and android devices. > a little sunshine now breaking out around the metro area. cloud cover starting to break up. temperatures are beginning to climb now it's already near 70 to the west. there's more sunshine in the metro area, upper 60s. upper 60s around the chesapeake bay. another dreamy autumn day is underway with low humidity. afternoon highs that make it to the upper 70s around washington and northern virginia. shenandoah valley and the mountains, mid 70s. lots of sunshine in the mountains. highs there reaching the low to mid 70s a delightful autumn day coming up.

cbs morning show today. he said people were too quick to set up battle lines in response to what he said. >> anybody who you are voting for is on the right side of this issue. >> rosenberg's mayor says he is not going to let politics get in the way of president obama's visit to rosenberg this week. he's our president. let's get him here. the nation is supportive and behind us. we need him here. >> as you heard, the mayor wants the president to show his town the nation is with him. however he's also a republican and he favors gun rights. he said i supports the president's visit even if it includes a speech about gun control reform. police in northern virginia are asking for the public's help now. prince william county police say this woman is missing and may be unable to get around on her own. penny laurel wolfe was last seen on lafayette avenue in manassas yesterday. she is 53.

d.c. and the beltway to reduce traffic a public hearing begins at 7:00 tonight at washington lehigh school in arlington. let's break down what the tolls could cost you and when. they won't kick in until 2017. if you drive during peak hours, expect to pay $9 in the morning and $8 on the way home. that's $17 a trip. that adds up to about $85 a week. $4,400 a year. but you can avoid the highest tolls in you meet the hov requirements. >> when you look at your son and daughter and realize they turned out better than you. they did. >> the political clock is ticking for vice president joe biden to enter the presidential race. this ad released today is the latest call by one group trying to persuade him to join. the commercial debuts on cable tv next tuesday, the day of the first democratic debate where biden is not expected on the stage. the polls are out, so are the 2016 presidential

washington, who forgot what it's like to live paycheck to paycheck or never did. >> reporter: rubio fared well in the last two presidential debates. as more light is placed on his campaign and message, more scrutiny will come with that. >> reporter: we'll see how all the candidates fair in the next cnbc debate later this month. the biden ad is a personal ad that will air nationwide october 13th over the airwaves. it uses his own words to describe his feelings and how he could be president. the ad ends with two words on the screen, joe run. in washington, edward lawrence, now back to you. >> developing story in morning. new york's attorney general is investigating fantasy sports sites. the inquiry comes over accusations that employees are using inside information to win money. major league baseball is also demanding answers. the league has an ownership stake in draftkings. this started because a draftkings employee won $350 on

breaking news coming into the live desk. we're learning about a lockdown of three schools in culpeper county. we've learned that the culpeper middle school, high school are locked down as the sheriff's office is investigating reports of a person with a gun on the campus. the sheriff's office is still investigating. no confirmation that anyone with a gun has been seen. so out of an abundance of caution the school system has chosen to lock down the schools, so nobody in, nobody out until the sheriff's office completed its investigation. we are staying on top of this story. more details as we learn them. we are follow two developing stories on new 4 midday.

first the associated press is reporting that russian smugglers sought to sell nuclear material to isis. >> the fbi foiled four attempts by gangs shopping radioactive material in formol moldova. >> we have a report from jay gray in south carolina where the after effects of the flooding won't stop. >> you're right. good afternoon to you. you can see the barricades here. this road like so many across the region closed down now. this is why. look down the road. teams are in what is a huge sinkhole. just a massive part of this roadway ripped apart by the floodwaters here. an evacuation order in this area has been lifted, but police warn this community and others may be forced to move again depending on where the water goes. a rush to higher ground. families near beaver creek urged

difficult recovery. but they insist this community will recover. >> i'm not going anywhere. been here for 64 years. >> reporter: a strength and determination stronger than the water here. >> it's a strength that will be tested as well. along with the bridges and dams here, as the rushing floodwaters continue to build. now, this storm, the water is wreaking havoc across the state. i know you have more on that. back to you. >> you know, take a look at this. not only did south carolina get it as we all know, but north carolina was not spared. they had flooding from wilmington. this is by kitty hawk. the tide is coming up almost all the way to the buildings. you can see some of those sandbags to try to keep it there taking over the buildings. the water has eroded a huge part of the beach in the outer banks. that's close to kitty hawk.

north carolina wasn't spared so much. we were here in the d.c. area and we're receiving beautiful weather. temperatures, though, for areas that got more sunshine are popping up into the 70s. winchester at 70. leesburg at 72. stuck in the 60s in washington but we will see some sunshine continuing into the afternoon. we do have by 5:00, temperatures in the mid to upper 70s. it will be warm and another mild night as temperatures fall into the 50s. looking good for your wednesday. looking fantastic for your thursday as well. temperatures are going to be in the mid 70s on thursday. by friday, we will have a few showers rolling through mainly in the afternoon and evening as a frontal system comes through. showers before day break, we have that three-day weekend for columbus day. fantastic for next week. guys? new developments on a sex assault arrest we told you about at the top of the broadcast. arlington police showing us the man, did they say confessed to

whe where we try to change the conversation. dr. joshua winer is with us this morning. i want to ask about the stigma. the #i'mstigmafree is what they're using this year is tell us about the stigma. >> i think that everybody is hoping that the stigma of mental illness declines. i think it is declining overtime. we're talking so much more about mental illness in the mainstream media they recently did a survey of a lot of people that found people were starting to say they prioritize mental health as much as they do physical health. the tide is starting to change. it's changing slowly. the most important thing that people can do to destigmatize mental illness is have a willingness to talk about the mental issues they have themselves. i make no bones talking to my patients and telling them i've been on medication to help me with anxiety for 15 years. it helps me live a better life,

be a better person. people say, dr. weiner, you seem like a normal guy. i am a normal guy. i have some anxiety issues, and this medication helps me function better. >> it's more normal than people think to have some issues. exactly. the more people talk about and the more people say that person is successful and they're on medication or getting treatment. >> quickly tell me, what's the biggest misconception about mental illness. >> there are a lot but the one i want to highlight is the concern that people have about kids taking antidepressant medications. you watch the commercials. i think if you watch the commercials you will think kids are killing themselves all the time because of these medications. most of these medications do not significantly increase the risk of suicide. one of them had no risk at all, it is generic prozac. since there's been the warning, there's been a number of 20% decrease written for kids and

suicide rates are on the decline. people need to be clear about the fact these medications are, in fact, safe. >> medications do help. >> they do save lives. >> dr. weiner, always great to see you. here at nbc 4 we are changing minds. search mental health services at the nbc washington app for a list of resources throughout our region. back to pat now. thank you. it's a victory celebration that's raising a few eyebrows today. how it actually did so

i'm eun yang, cat lovers, you may want to look away. police in michigan are looking for the person who shot this cat with a crossbow. they say cats have nine lives, for this little guy it's true. he survived. he's not out of danger yet, but things are looking good. the new york giants are

dealing with a big outbreak. some precautions here after one of their players was diagnosed with mrsa. tight end daniel fells was being treated for a chronic ankle condition when he was diagnosed with mrsa. the disease can be fatal. the locker room, training room and all meeting rooms have been scrubbed down just in case. kevin harvick dominated the field at dover in the nascar sprint cup series on sunday, but his celebration is raising a few eyebrows. he backed his car into the wall during his celebratory burnout which would hamper nascar's ability to do a proper post race inspection. harvick says he doesn't remember hitting the wall. he says you have to play hard and celebrate hard. he's the reigning sprint cup champion.

just getting word from culpeper county schools that a suspect has been ap pprehended the search that was happening there. three schools put on lockdown because of someone with a gun. the schools remain on lockdown for further investigation. because suspect has been apprehended off campus. that, according to culpeper county schools twitter account. >> thanks. we'll continue to follow that story on the nbc washington app and have the latest coming up on news 4 at 4:00. that's it for news4 midday. >> thanks for being with us. don't forget to join us at 4:00. pat will be here then. i'll be here tomorrow morning at 11:00 with news, weather updates when you need them on our nbc washington app. check that out. have a great day.
