Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano says Jaylin Hartless, 21, did not know the two men now convicted of killing him outside his Woodlawn apartment complex.

Descano says both men responsible for the “senseless murder” have now been brought to justice.

- Prince George’s County Public Schools officials are acknowledging major transportation failures after approximately 10,000 students were affected on the first day of school.
The district’s new Chipmunk bus-tracking app crashed Tuesday morning, leaving families unable to monitor buses. Officials later disclosed that dozens of routes and hundreds of stops had not been assigned bus service.

- Description
- A 21-year veteran of the Metropolitan Police Department has filed a $4 million whistleblower lawsuit against the agency, alleging retaliation after reporting concerns about crime-classification practices.
Inspector Michael Jones says he began warning MPD leaders about widespread problems in February 2024, more than a year before the controversy became public. Documents show he later emailed the Department of Justice about his concerns.
The lawsuit alleges that Internal Affairs targeted Jones and sought to discipline him—not for personally misclassifying reports, but for allegedly failing to do enough to stop practices he says he repeatedly reported.
Jones alleges violations of the D.C. Whistleblower Protection Act and the Human Rights Act. He is seeking $4 million, along with legal costs and other relief. MPD declined to comment on the lawsuit.
The case follows an MPD Internal Affairs investigation that described a pattern of violen...

- Why Amtrak is shutting down service south of DC for nine days
- Runtime
- 2:06
- Date posted
- 19 days ago
- Description
- Amtrak is planning a nine-day passenger rail shutdown between Washington Union Station and Alexandria, Virginia, beginning after service Friday, Oct. 16, and ending before service resumes Monday, Oct. 26.
The disruption is necessary to replace aging switches and crossovers at A-Interlocking inside the First Street Tunnel, just south of Union Station. The equipment is beyond its expected service life and currently requires trains to follow a 10 mph speed restriction.
Crews will also rehabilitate the tunnel’s track base and install modern electric switch systems. Amtrak says completing the work during one coordinated shutdown is safer and more efficient than attempting construction in phases inside the confined tunnel.
Passengers traveling between Washington, D.C. and points south should expect cancellations, reduced service and bus connections. Amtrak Virginia will offer limited train service to Alexandria, along with buses connecting some passen...

- WTOP national security correspondent J.J. Green joined 7News anchor Megan Clarke to examine the United States’ new economic pressure campaign against Iran.
Green explained how Iran has historically used black-market networks to evade sanctions and obtain fuel, technology and dual-use components for its nuclear program. He said support from China, Russia and North Korea could make it difficult for Washington to isolate Tehran.
China purchases a significant amount of Iranian oil, while Russia and Iran have exchanged Shahed drone technology, Green said. He also discussed how U.S. diplomacy involving North Korea and reported intelligence contacts with Moscow could connect to the wider geopolitical strategy.
Green questioned whether the United States risks stretching its resources and alliances too thin as it confronts Iran while navigating disputes involving Canada, Europe, NATO and other international partners.

- Description
- Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Tara Jackson joined 7News anchor Josh Chapin to discuss domestic violence, chronic absenteeism and student safety.
The interview followed a shooting in Bowie in which police said a mother was shot by the father of her children in front of them. Jackson said her office has hired two additional victim-witness coordinators, including one assigned to the Family Justice Center, to help domestic violence victims find resources and navigate the legal process.
As students return to school, Jackson’s office is also partnering with four nonprofit organizations on a truancy initiative for children at risk of chronic absenteeism. Jackson called consistent school attendance a crime prevention strategy.
Jackson also urged drivers to slow down, watch for students and school buses and speak with young drivers about speeding, impairment and cellphone distractions.
