an eighth suspect is in custody, there she is, in the death of a florida couple gunned down in their home while most of their 13 adopted children were nearby. what authorities are saying now about the killings of byrd and melanie billing. the accident happened during a commercial 25 years ago but before his death, michael jackson said this is what led to his prescription drug addiction. the video jackson fought to get released to the public. also, check out this massive fire near detroit. goodness, what caused it, and why part of a major interstate will be closed indefinitely. happy friday eve, as we like to call it around here. i'm christi paul. welcome to hln news and views. so good to have you with us, as

always. we want to start in florida here, where we're waiting for the start of the news conference with the escambia's david morgan. we are waiting to learn more about the couple shot to death in their home that they shared with several adopted children with special needs. the podiums are up, microphones ready, people set, reporters waiting. we are just waiting to see sheriff morgan. in the past 24 hours, police detained an eighth suspect in the case, pamela long wiggins, who was previously identified as pamela laverne long. here is her picture as she was in custody. she's charged with being an accessory after the fact. so we're going to keep our eye on that podium. as soon as they step up to it and that news conference begins, we will take you there. we have reason to believe that perhaps they may be looking for more suspects, believe it or not, or at least more persons of interest.

it is getting so convoluted, you just can't keep it straight, can you? the other story we're watching today. five new jersey police officers hospitalized, two in critical condition following an early morning shootout in jersey city. one of the critically injured officers was shot in the face. the other was hit in the neck. both are undergoing surgery right now, in fact. jersey city's police chief says the officers were trying to make tactical entry into a home and immediately came under fire from a pump shotgun. >> this individual came fully ready to go to war with us. this is not a normal shotgun. this is just not a street weapon. this is one that's meant to hunt nothing other than man. and he took it out on these police officers. >> the chief says the suspects were wanted for what he called a major crime but he wouldn't elaborate further on that. he said two suspects were killed, though. and we are just now seeing this video of what could have been the turning point in michael jackson's life.

here it is. the pepsi commercial fire. "us weekly" posted this online and some pyrotechnics went off too early as you can see here while jackson was shooting this. look at his hair catching fire. it's almost as if he deposit realize it for ten seconds when everybody came on the stage and the flames were then put out. jackson was clearly in pain, though, reaching for that large bald spot you can see. see it there, the red one right at the top of his head. >> i truly believed that it was a seminal moment in his life really because that pepsi commercial created such a painful situation, obviously, as the scalp was scalded, he couldn't grow his own hair. he had to wear wigs after that. the most important of that was that he was described demerol to mitigate the pain. >> in 2003, jackson admitted this accident led to an addiction to painkillers. days after the 1984 incident. jackson tried to get this footage released.

at the time his record label only released a still photo of his hair on fire. now, six weeks later, pepsi began airing the ad he was shooting when that accident happened. i'm sure you remember that. confirmation hearing day four. live pictures coming to you and there is supreme court nominee sonia sotomayor, once again defending one of her decisions. a 2008 ruling with two other judge that's sided against white new haven firefighters in a reverse discrimination case. that decision was later overturned by the supreme court. >> the question was the precedent that existed and whether viewing it, one would view this as the city discriminating on the basis of race or the city concluding that because it was unsure that its test actually avoided this great impact but still tested for

necessary qualifications, was it discriminating on the basis of race by not certifying the test? >> so -- >> now, one senate judiciary committee member also try to put sotomayor in the hot seat regarding same-sex marriage. here are live pictures as she answers questions. earlier when asked by republican senator john cornyn about it, she said she didn't want to prejudge the issue or come to it with her own personal views. that hearing, by the way, is streaming live on our website if you would like to see it live in its entirety. we have it here for you, cnn.com/live. hard to believe anybody could walk away from a massive explosion on a highway near detroit when you see these pictures, but look at them. ball of flames there erupted when two tanker trucks and a car crashed. one big rig was carrying 13,000 gallons of fuel. the accident happened above i-75, major thoroughfare there. witnesses say they're thankful to be alive.

>> poof ball flame go up when i was at the red light. it just went up in flames, and then i just left my car and i took off running. >> part of i-75, by the way, is closed indefinitely. all three of those drivers have minor injuries. wow. four, three, two, one. booster ignition and liftoff of "endeavour." >> if you missed it, we've got you covered. there it is. the shuttle "endeavour" finally lifted off last night, not without a glitch. some foam insulation fell off during the launch and hit the shuttle. the crew is going to obviously take a closer look but nasa says it's not too worried about this. the "endeavour" will reach the international space station tomorrow after three weather delays. its crew plans to make five space walks to build a platform for experiments there. and we're still looking at this incredible new black and white video showing humanity's first visit to another world.

you remember it. nasa is releasing a digitally remastered video that was made from live broadcast of the apollo 11 landing on the moon. the mission blasted off from florida 40 years ago today. the enhanced video gives us a bit clearer image of there astronaut neil armstrong taking the first steps on the moon. listen. ♪ back to the ussr >> you know who that is, paul mccartney, returning to the spot where the beatles made their u.s. debut 45 years ago. you will hear him talk about his much-publicized riff with michael jackson. also, we are still waiting for the escambia county sheriff to brief us on the latest in the investigation into the murders of florida couple byrd melanie billings. we believe that's going to be coming to us in just about five minutes. as we just got a warning there. but you can see the reporters and podium and the mikes all at

the ready and we will bring that to you live when it happens. stay close.

♪ a >> can't mistake that voice, can you? paul mccartney, doing something he had not done in 45 years, performing at the ed sullivan theater in new york. this was yesterday. that is the theater where the beatles made their american tv debut in 1964. of course, "the late show" with david letterman is taped there now. the tour starts tomorrow. but there he also talked about his riff with michael jackson. you may remember jackson bought the publishing rights to the beatles' catalog. so last night mccartney told letterman how that affected their relationship. >> well, i did talk to him about

it, but he kind of blanked me on it. he kept saying, it's just business, paul, you know. so, yeah, it is. and waited for a reply. but we never kind of got to it. and i thought, so we kind of drifted apart. it was no big bus out. it kind of drifted apart. he was a lovely man, massively talented, and we miss him. >> jackson and mccartney recorded two songs in the early '80s. i'm sure you remember them, "the girl is mine," and "say, say, say." i'm jane velez-mitchell. here's my issue. with every passing minute it seems every person is coming out with claims of michael jackson's drug use and failed interventions. usually the information trickles out through unnamed sources, leaks and, my favorite, paid interviews. but let's take a step back and remember we don't know anything until we see the toxicology report. part of the problem is that michael jackson was so eccentric that it actually made any story about him believable. it was hard to separate fact

from fiction, smoke from mirrors. what's going on now it's the same thing that happened during his molestation trial. let's remember, he was acquitted. so with all of these outlandish claims, everybody needs to step back, take a deep breath and wait for the facts to come on. i'm jane velez-mitchell, and that's my issue. >> find out what else grinds jane's gears. watch "issues" every night at 7:00 eastern on hln. it's been five months since her family has seen or heard from 5-year-old haleigh cummings, and the baffling question is still what happened to her? remember she disappeared from her father's home in set summa, florida, early february 10th. here is video from her at christmastime. her father's live-in girlfriend called 911 at 3:00 a.m. when she said she awoke and saw they have no suspects and last month said they were following up on 4,000-plus leads.

there's a $35,000 reward in this case. that family's having a really hard time dealing with. a man is accused of getting drunk, stealing an ambulance, and then leading police on an hour-long chase. the guy was at a medical center to get dui blood tests done. police say he took off in an ambulance and later crashed into a pole. and then he tried to run. we want to take you to florida right now where sheriff david morgan of escambia county. >> i have been asked to make a public statement, which i fear feel is in fairness, although i made this statement on numerous occasions, i want to restate it because of the snanature of thi investigation and individuals involved. i asked for humanity and compassion for the billings family. a lot of wild rumors float around, especially about any investigation that's complex as this one involving all of the players that it involves. but we also must always remember that we're talking about

people's lives, and about the impact on their lives not just about today. but for years to come. so we would like to announce that the dea, the dea, is providing investigative assistance at the request of the escambia county's sheriff's office. no additional information is being provided at this time. that's a statement from the dea. to put that in context, the dea was called in on the suspects in this crime to assist us in that area. the individuals that are currently incarcerated. so they're assisting us in any area that developed from that. and additionally, i will restate, which i believe i stated numerous times last night, that the billings' family, to the best of my knowledge, is not the focus of any investigation by the dea. and i'm not sure where that may have started. but, please today let us put that to rest. again, in your discussions with people around town and interviews, understand we are dealing with a grieving family. so we ask again a little

consideration for the billings' family in this time of grief. and at this time i will turn the microphone over to mr. bill evans, our state attorney, who will update you on the latest status in this case. >> thank you, sheriff. the sheriff and i with his people and my people worked last night and we're in a position today to report that we have located evidence, valuable evidence. we have located this safe. the safe is being processed at this time. we have located several guns in various locations, one of which we believe is the murder weapon. we believe. it has not been processed yet. as you know, yesterday or late last evening, the sheriff announced the arrest of an additional person for accessory after the fact to first degree murder, or accessory after the

fact to murder. we anticipate if a capital charge is filed, that, that will result in an accessory after the fact charge. that is a first degree felony that carry a maximum up to 30 years in state prison. we believe -- and i will ask the sheriff to comment on this, we believe that this concludes the major part of our investigation. that obviously our loose ends to tie up. all of you know how rapidly the investigation as progressed. we're going to consolidate our information, and we believe this concludes the matter. in our opinion, this was a home invasion robbery where the people stole a safe and we

recovered the safe. and we think it's a simple -- i personally, and the sheriff can speak for himself -- think it is as simple as that in terms of the motive and what occurred. sheriff, i would like at this time to give you an opportunity to add additional comments about those matters. >> i agree with mr. evans. that is the basic premise in this case, as far as the facts on the ground go. we do believe as it progresses, the investigation continues, that additional motives will be found, but understand something, in law enforcement and in the investigative side, we have a saying. it is what it is. and you follow the leads that develop and not your speculation. so we must be factoring that in our investigation. so many times in the press conference, you would hear me state that very thing, it is speculation. we have some people of interest

that we are continuing to look at. and i can tell you those are now numerous people. but you need to also put that in perspective. we have probably interviewed between 20 and 30 people that were people of interest that you never were made aware of. why? because after an initial interview with these people, we found that they did not have any information that would be of any substance to this investigation in this case, and so, therefore, they went away. and so we believe, again, we've got a couple of folks that we need to contact and interview to put the case finally to bed and that's really where we are. again, i agree with mr. evans. we are hopefully at the end of this investigation with that exception. again, we will certainly keep you briefed and updated on it. >> ms. wiggins, was she trying to destroy or hide any evidence? >> we're not going to comment any further on the evidence that was seized. the sheriff has asked that i make those determinations

because of the fact that it is a case that's pending. there's obviously seven cases pending, eight actually with the arrest of pam long wiggins yesterday. we're simply not going to be able to answer additional questions about the evidence that was seized at this time. the purpose of this press conference was to -- excuse me -- do what we have done, which is to indicate that the primary portion of investigation is completed as the sheriff said. the investigation itself is continuing. we will continue to follow the evidence where it leads us, but because of the fact that we have all of these pending cases, we're simply not going to make any comments as it relates to the evidence that was seized in this case. and because of the fact we're so active in our investigation, the sheriff and i agree at this press conference because of the

nature of it, we will only be able to take a few questions. >> if wiggins is charged with accessory after the fact, does that mean she did not know about the plot prior to it being carried out? >> no, it means we believe we made the appropriate decision at this time to charge her with accessory after the fact. and that's what we have done. the investigation is continuing. we're not going to rule in, rule out or discuss where our investigation is going to lead and do not feel that would be appropriate. >> sheriff, why did you call in the dea? and what connection do the suspects have with gangs or drug dealing? >> again, let's put this in context. that's for the dea to determine. a. >> why did you call them in? >> because we had developed information that again is in the purview of that agency. we're not going to conduct an investigation that's well within -- again, a federal agency as well as a local or county agency in my case.

so, therefore, as a courtesy, so i would remain, again, within my legal and ethical obligations, i passed that information on to the appropriate agency. and my part is done. >> and part of the drug dealing -- >> this information is now with the daeb and i will not answer any questions regarding an investigation they may or may not initiate. >> sheriff, you said yesterday you were looking for another possible person, maybe somebody that was supposed to turn off the security system. now year saying today the you case seems to be coming to a conclusion. are you still looking for another person? >> we are. that is still open. we are still looking into that area of this case. it is still open and, yes, we are still looking. >> if i may follow with one more question -- >> the take away here is that the investigation is still very active but that the primary portion of it has been completed. that's sheriff david morgan, who asked for humanity and compassion for the billings family, now talking about how the dea is involved. he said earlier the family, the billings' family is not a focus

of any investigation by the dea. that's primarily the suspects that they've located valuable evidence, including the safe, several guns in different locations and they believe they do have the murder weapon in their possession. we're back in just a moment.

[ music ] >> welcome to comcast local edition, i'm donna richardson, and my guest this hour is christine bergmark who is the executive director of the southern maryland agricultural development commission. welcome, christine, it's good to have you here. >> thank you for having me. >> that's a big mouthful, and i know that you're working on an extremely exciting program, bi-local challenge. >> it is an initial that we launched two years ago, and essentially what it is is the last full week of july we ask everyone across the state of maryland and beyond to take a pledge, and the pledge is eat something or drink from a farm

every day during that week. >> oh. so where do we get the information about where to find the farms or how do we sign up for this pledge? >> well, there's a website. it's www.by-local-challenge.com that website will give you all sorts of information why to buy local and where to buy local and it connects you to other statewide initiatives that are going on at the same time. if you go to the website, we've added a count. people used to say, where do i sign up? normally you have to go buy, eat something from a local farm. this year we decided to add a counter to the website. when you are' counted, you can receive a certificate with your name on it that you can put up in your office or your home or wherever. >> which is very, very important. it's reduces your carbon foot

print because you're driving hopefully a shorter distance, you have access to local products that are available, and also it helps the farmers. >> well, and in fact, our theme this year is healthy plate, healthy planet. all kinds of benefits to buying local, benefits for you, healthy, nutrition, it's fresh, and preserving our farms survive, we keep clean water, we keep clean air, we reduce the carbon footprints from things traveling 1500 miles, and it tastes good. >> exactly. now for those people who may not cook, how can they be a part of this? >> yeah, sometimes people say, well, i hate to cook. that's okay. you can go to a store or to a restaurant that features local farm products, and there are more and more restaurants every year, some of them are on our website, and you can click throughout to find out who they are,. >> what kind of items can we

acquire localfully. >> during the last week of july, there is so much product available. there's sweet corn, blackberries, all kinds of tomatoes and melons are in season, and of course, there's always wine, cheese, eggs, meatss. >> so we do have a wide variety of things we can get. say that i go and i go to a local farmer's market and purchase something, what is a vegetable that i'm not quite familiar with, how did i find a recipe. >> excellent question. there are recipes on our website. people can post their own recipes of their own events and own blogs by why they buy local. some of the things i wanted to mention is the economic benefits. we talked about the planet, we talked about the fact that it tastes good, and it's fun, but

there's also the benefit of supporting our farms, and if every household in the state mucofmaryland were to buy just 2 worth of products for 8 weeks, basically the summer season that, would put $200 million straight back into the pockets of our farmers. that would do a lot to keep our farmers thriving. >> which is so important. i know we have less than 30 seconds, but you have some partners that you wouldn't typically think of who have now joined in. >> yes. hospitals are joining in this year. fact, they're looking to do a competition to see how many people they can get involved. >> have you exciting. christine, thank you very much for coming in today. >> thank you. >> my guest today has been christine bergmark with the southern agricultural commission. if you're interested in what comcast is doing in your area, go to on demand and click get local. for comcast local edition, i'm

we have new details we want to share with you regarding a florida couple gunned down in their home while most of their adopted children were nearby. just a few minutes ago in a news conference, evans said this woman, pam wiggins, was charged with access rib after the fact. evans also went on to say they found key evidence in the killing of melanie billings, including the safe taken from their home and possibly the gun that was used to kill them. several guns, in fact, are in authority's possession now. evans also said investigators do have a theory as to the motive in the crime. >> in our opinion, this was a home invasion robbery where the

people stole a safe, and we recovered the safe and we think it's as simple, and i personally, and the sheriff can speak for himself, think it is as simple as that in terms of the motive and what occurred. >> now, the billings adopted many children with special needs. self-were several were at home at the time of the attack and three of them may have seen those intruders as well. con fifirmation hearings, d four, with live pictures now of nominee sonia sotomayor, who is again answering questions about one of her pivotal decisions. a ruling that was later overturned by the supreme court. samantha hayes is following the hearing from washington and she's been there today. so this is kind of one of those issues that doesn't seem is going away. >> absolutely not.

one of the reasons is at some point today we're going to hear testimony from some individuals who were involved in that case in new haven, connecticut, some of the firefighters themselves. this is the fourth and it could be the final day of questioning for judge sonia sotomayor. as you have been watching, it's been several days of long hours and oftentimes intense and heated testimony. a group of new haven firefighters found themselves at the center of a controversial decision reached by sonia sotomayor that scrapped the results of a promotion test because too few minorities scored high enough to qualify. the supreme court later reversed the decision after complaints. >> isn't it true that you were incorrect in your earlier statement that you were bound by established supreme court and second circuit precedent when you voted each time to reject the firefighters' civil rights complaint? >> the question was the precedent that existed, and whether viewing it, one would view this as the city

discriminating on the basis of race or the city concluding that because it was unsure that its test actually avoided dispret impact -- >> reporter: they are citing concerns on her record over decisions and cases that involved race. on the other side, new york mayor michael bloomberg is supporting her appointment. in a letter sent to the judicial committee last week, bloomberg said, "i have great confidence that judge sotomayor's rulings demonstrate her knowledge of the law, objectivity, fairness and impartiality, which are essential qualities for any judge." and while there have been some sharp exchanges between sotomayor and the senators, she has won praise from both republicans and democrats on the committee. reporting live outside the supreme court, i'm samantha hayes. back to you. >> samantha, i know obviously sonia sotomayor getting a lot of attention. this is her hearing. but so is al franken, since this

is his first time. is he wading in the waters? how do people think he's doing thus far? >> it's been an interesting side story in the whole hearing process. certainly, christie, we have seen al franken for many years making fun of politicians on "saturday night live." now he very much is a politician. and for the most part, he's really been playing it straight but there were a couple of incidents yesterday. he found some common ground with sotomayor. they both talked about their love for perry mason, that 1960s crime drama on television. and then at one point the committee chair, his microphone wasn't working, patrick leahy, so senator franken said, hey, let's just switch seats and that caused some comic relief, i think you can see, during the hearings which for the most part, as you have been seen, have been very serious. >> very true. very true. samantha hayes, thank you so much. we appreciate it. the hearing, by the way, is streaming live on our website.

if you would like to watch more, you can do so at cnn .com/live. five police officers are hospitalized now, two in critical condition following an early morning shootout in jersey city. here are some of the scenes from that. one of the critically injured officers was reportedly shot twice in the face. that officer apparently flatlined but was later revived. the other critically injured officer was hit in the neck we understand and both are undergoing surgery as we speak. jersey city's police chief says the officers came under fire as they were trying to make a tactical entry into an apartment. >> this individual came fully ready to go to war with us. this is not a normal shotgun. this is not a street weapon. this is one that's meant to hunt nothing other than man. and he took it out on these police officers. >> two brave jersey city emts actually crawled into the line of fire and pulled badly injured officers out. the jersey city police say just

prior to that shootout, they were actively investigating a couple wanted in an earlier shooting. the police chief says two suspects in this case in fact were killed. it's hard to believe when you see these pictures that everyone walked away from this explosion on a highway near detroit. look how massive this is. that ball of flames erupted when two tanker trucks and a car crashed. one big rig was carrying 13,000 gallons of fuel. the flames collapsed, in fact, an overpass above i-75. witnesses say they're just thankful to be alive. >> poof ball flame go up when i was at the red light. it just went up in flames and i just left my car and i took off running. >> in fact, part of the i-75 is closed indefinitely. all three of those drivers do have minor injuries. four, three, two, one.

booster ignition and liftoff of "endeavour." >> the shuttle "endeavour" finally lifted off last night as you can see there if you missed it. it wasn't without a glitch, though. some foam insulation did fall off during the launch and hit the shuttle. the crew is going to take a closer look, obviously. nasa said they were not too worried about this. "endeavour" will reach the international space station tomorrow after three weather delays and its crew plans to make five space walks to build a platform for experiments there. we have clever black and white video showing humanity's first visit to another world. nasa is releasing a digitally remastered video that was made from live broadcasts of the "apollo 11" landing on the moon. there it is. the mission blasted off from florida 40 years ago today. the enhanced video gives us this clearer image of astronaut neil armstrong there taking the first steps on the moon. it is fascinating, isn't it? the moon mission, in fact, captured the nation's imagination. people hung on every word

transmitted from "apollo 11." much of the on-board chatter was never broadcast. now nasa is giving us all a glimpse into the private moments between astronauts neil armstrong, buzz aldrin and michael collins. conversations recorded by a taped database on "apollo 11" have now been posted on the internet in fact. here's the crew getting its first glimpse of the lunar surface. >> oh, boy, you can spend a lifetime just geologizing that one crater alone, you know that? >> that's not how i'd like to spend my lifetime, but picture that. beautiful. >> one over here, too. >> come on now, buzz, don't refer to them as big mothers. give them some scientific name. >> it sure looks like a lot of them have slumped down. >> that is a big mother.

well, you see those every once in a while. >> most of them are slumping. the bigger they are, the more they slump. that's a truism, isn't it? >> isn't that something? you can hear more clips and see transcripts, by the way, at nasa.gov if you would like. ♪ back in the ussr ♪ you don't know how lucky you are ♪ >> paul mccartney back in the spot where the beatles made their u.s. debut 45 years ago. you will hear him talk about his much-publicized rift with michael jackson.

new details into the investigation of the killing of a couple who had adopted 13

children. the escambia county sheriff just wrapped up a news conference. our ed lavandera is on the phone with us now. ed, one of the things i thought was interesting is they were saying with eight suspects already in custody, they are still looking, he said, at numerous persons of interest in this case. >> right. but they say they're also at the tail end of this investigation, so it doesn't appear that whoever is remaining out there, that might possibly be charged with any crimes, might have played a central role in all of this. however, there is that one interesting character out there that -- that police say or the sheriff's deputies here have been saying they believe one of these people of interest is the person they think perhaps whose jobs should have been to turn off the surveillance system. how that plays out, if indeed that is the case, will be interesting to see. but also the other major headline from the press

conference today is the announcement that the safe that had been -- they say had been taken from the home of the billings has been located, and also various weapons that were used in the murders of byrd and melanie billings had been located as well. authorities here not going beyond that initial statement. but late last night, we had seen much of that evidence being rolled into the sheriff's office here and obviously i think it's safe to assume that based on the arrest of pamela long wiggins after her arrest, all of that material came in. clearly a lot of questions as to whether or not this suspect that led authorities to find those key pieces of evidence. but authorities here saying that they are really towards the closing end of this investigation, they say. >> very good point to make, as to whether maybe she gave them the tip-off as to where that evidence was. i wanted to ask you, too, david morgan started the news

conference kind of addressing this whole dea involvement. and some rumors that had been swirling regarding the billings family in general. can you clarify that for us? >> look, this is a delicate situation, and it's complicated in many ways but in the process of reporting the story and also following what investigators have been going on, there have been a great deal of questions. byrd billings worked in -- used to work at a used car sales lot and also worked -- had a finance company that financed a lot of these vehicles. so there have been a lot of questions about his business dealings and whether perhaps that and having done very well for himself financially, if that had played a role. was that part of -- could that have been part of the suspects' motive in this case? and as we heard, we knew we had learned over the last few days

that the dea was involved, and we understand that the billings' family, very sensitive to this, and that people would draw the inference because the dea was involved, they would draw the connection this had something to do with byrd billings. authorities here saying this has more to do with the suspects, not necessarily the billings' family. >> very good to clarify that. ed lavandera, thank you so much. we appreciate it. again, we will keep you posted. again, the other big thing coming out of that press conference, both the sheriff and state attorney saying they believe robbery was the primary focus here of this family intrusion, and sheriffs did go on to say, though, he believes additional motives will be found before all is said and done. we will keep you posted. one out of military vet didn't let a situation stop her dream. susan candiotti has the story in money and main street. >> reporter: in the eight years

with the air force, lori lawrence had three different jobs. she quit one and was laid off twice. after the last layoff in february, she started rethinking her options. >> i started thinking i'm tired of going through this. what would i really enjoy? >> reporter: though her aging husky cody is too old to need much grooming anymore, cody inspired her to set her sights on opening a drawing grooming business in the upscale atlanta suburb of peachtree city. but money was tight, so she swallowed her pride and opened a fruit stand. >> it is not doing anything like that i had hoped that it would do, but it's more money than i had last week. >> reporter: fruit is only bringing in a few hundred dollars a week. compared to that, drawing grooming looks like a gold mine. >> people spent $42 billion last year on their pets alone. you know, it's there. how do i -- how do i get in? i want in. >> reporter: lori attended a number of spa seminars and google business plans of other

start-ups and then drafted her own. small business experts danny bad and john rutledge offered to take a look. >> she has a specific idea in her head about what this is going to look like and what the consumer is going to walk away with. >> reporter: john and danny helped lori reduce her start-up costs from $147,000 to just $35,000. they showed her how to save money on labor and equipment. they suggested she look for free advice online instead of hiring an attorney and cpa. and they're helping her negotiate a better lease in a down-and-out commercial real estate market. >> in your plan, you have also things like pet sitting, dog taxi, retail bakery, all of those things are ways of adding more revenues on than just the basic wash your dog. >> reporter: for the time being, dog washing is all lori offers but she hopes to be providing the pampered pooches in her area a full range of services by the end of next month.

view this as the city discriminating on the basis of race or the city concluding that because it was unsure that its tests actually avoided this impact but, still, tested for necessary qualifications. was it discriminating on the basis of race by not certifying the tests? >> one senate judiciary committee member tried to put sotomayor in the hot seat about same sex marriage. when asked by john cornyn about it, she said she didn't want to prejudge the issue or come to it with her own personal views. house lawmakers started making changes to a $1.5 trillion health care reform bill today. it would provide coverage to nearly all americans by subsidizing the poor and charging people and companies who don't buy insurance. there are more than 50 amendments to the bill on the

jackson's hair on fire. but as you can see, jackson doesn't seem to notice until people surround him, the first one there was jackson's long-time friend meko brando. >> i shook his head and pulled him down to the ground and tried to do the best i could. >> reporter: you can see as jackson gets up his head is significantly burned, down to the scalp. >> he initially velt a very hot area and couldn't distinguish whether it was the hot light or something was happening and after a second or two he felt the intense onset of pain and fe fell to the ground and several people came to put out the fire and apply ice to his head. >> reporter: jackson unsuccessfully tried to get the footage released cbs records released this photo. pepsi eventually ended up releasing the ad, which featured jackson and his brothers. jackson would later claim the accident and subsxwnt medical

treatment led to an addiction to prescription drugs. >> after my tour ended i remain out of the country undergoing treatment for dependency on pain medication. this medication was initially prescribed to feed excruciating pain that i was suffering after reconstructive surgery on my scalp. >> reporter: drug use is part of the investigation into jackson's death. what if any drugs were in jackson's system at the time of his death is still an unanswered question. toxicology results could be back within the next week. ted rowlands, cnn, los angeles. >> and our thanks to ted rowlands. he is only 12 years old. and he's already started his own movement. you'll meet a boy whose favorite super hero is the one he created. go green man. what he's doing to educate you about the environment and recycling. this is hln.

welcome back. investigators in florida say they have new evidence in the killings of a florida couple who adopted several small children, many with special needs. ed lavandera is in pence coal waw the latest details in the case and, ed, a short time ago there was a press conference that was held, and the authorities say they do have a motive here, is that right?

>> yes, they have said for several days that they believe that this robbery and home invasion was the primary motive. they say there's still perhaps some other motives, but they seem to be downplaying that now to a great degree. but they also really focused in on this new key evidence that they're calling crucial evidence that will help them finalize this investigation and that is that they have found the safe that authorities say was stolen from the billings home and that they also recovered weapons that they believe in the murder weapon that was used in these killings, as well. significant find, but beyond that authorities aren't really talking much more about it or how they found it. >> we have located evidence, valuable evidence. we have located this safe. the safe is being processed at this time. why have located several guns in various locations, one of which

we believe is the murder weapon. we believe. it has not been processed yet. >> so, there you have the latest from the investigation and what is interesting is that these fines come just hours after they arrested the eight suspects. lauren long wigens which is someone they say was a good friend of the ring leader of this group, that is leonard patrick gonzalez jr. he is one of the seven suspects that has already been arrested and that they won't say whether or not it was wiggins. she is charged with accessory after the fact. people find this and people can read between the lines if they wish there. but authorities not taking that final leap to tell us that that is, indeed, how they came across

this evidence. >> it seems as they they moved fairly quickly on this case in terms of all the arrests that have been made and they said today that they believe that they're closing this case. they have a few loose ends. >> it's been almost every few hours a rather significant development has come about in this case and now authorities feel like they're at the closing end of this investigation and that they're saying it is now moving into the proscatorial aspect it and you saw the state attorney and them answering many fewer quigzs, evidently. >> ed lavandera, thank you for the latest. we take you to michigan now where it is hard to believe that everyone walked away from this massive explosion on a highway near detroit. check it out. here it is. that huge ball of flames erupted when two tanker trucks and a car crashed. one big rig was carrying 13,000 gallons of fuel and the flames

collapsed an overpass above the i-75 and witnesses say they are thankful to be alive. >> a flame go up when i was at the red light, it just went up in flames and then i just left my car and i took off running. >> part of i-75 is closed, of course, indefinitely. all three drivers have minor injuries. we are talking about the economy and if you are short on cash and have extra stuff in your closets, maybe it's time for a yard sale. clark howard says they're making a huge comeback. >> hey, you want to raise some cash, maybe you need some dough, maybe you're looking for some great deals. well, a lot of americans have decided that the best way to buy and sell is at yard or garage sales. in fact, the number of yard and garage sales going on right now in the country is way, way, way up. why? well, think about it, think how

many of us in the consumption era bought stuff we never used, lightly used. think of all that sporting goods equipment that people bought intending to get fit but never used. so, what a great way to turn your trash into cash. you have the garage or yard sale and maybe you do it with neighbors, advertise, people are going to come. buyers, you're going to steal deals. great way for you to make money and great way for others to save. i'm clark howard for more money-saving ideas, go to cnn.com/clarkhoward. >> really a great idea there from clark and to get more consumer advice, great advice from clark howard, tune in every saturday and sunday at noon and 4:00 p.m. eastern right here on hln news and views. the sears tower is no more. as of otoday, the country's tallest skyscraper has a new name. it is now called the willis tower named after a british

company that is its main tenant. a facebook group has collected thousands of signatures on an online petition. would paris change the name of the eiffel tower? your views on health care reform, just ahead.

welcome back. day four of supreme court nominee sonia sotomayor's confirmation hearings and some republicans on the senate judiciary committee are getting testy. earlier today senator lindsey graham said of sotomayor, "you have said some things that bugged the hell out of me." brianna keilar is on capitol hill. they're in recess and the testimony has concluded for sonia sotomayor. >> for her part, sonia sotomayor is off the hot seat and that really struck me what we heard senator lindsey graham say. he is certainly, i must say, the most candid of senators on the committee and he told sotomayor that some of her speeches have

been disturbing, particularly to conservatives. but he also said when you take a look at her record, it's anything but radical. it's really pretty well within the main stream. and, again today republicans trying to pin her down on some of these controversial topics. abortion, for instance, and also on gun rights. but no surprise sotomayor was not having it. but take a listen to what senator lindsey graham told her about why it means so much to him to try to get a sense of where she stands personally speaking on these issues. >> i do believe at the end of the day you're not going to find a law book that tells you whether or not a fundamental right exists vis-a-vis the second amendment that you're going to have to rely upon your view of america, who we are, how far we've come and where we're going to go and our relationship to gun ownership. that's why these choices are so

important. and here's what i'll say about you, you may not agree with that. but i believe that's what you're going to do and i believe that's what every other justice is going to do. >> and as i said, lindsey graham is a republican, he is skeptical that sonia sotomayor may not see things the way he does on some of these hot button issues, but his point is really one that while very candid i'm sure privately a lot of democrats think about this, as well, susan. because you can see yesterday and even today some democrats trying to pin her down on the topic of abortion rights. members of this committee who are for abortion rights because they also want to get a sense of where she stands on this and sonia sotomayor, pardon me, sotomayor for her part saying that her personal opinions don't influence her decision and that she does everything, basically, by the book. by the rule of law. it's not enough to convince, especially republicans. >> a lot of candid words, as

you've put it. and as you said, sonia sotomayor wrapping up today, but these hearings are not over. >> no, the hearing's not over and it could actually go through tomorrow and that's because you could see witnesses who are testifying in favor of her being confirmed and also some testifying against her being confirmed. that will include frank ricci and ben vargas. two new haven firefighters among the several firefighters who brought a case against the city after that promotional exam was scrapped after african-american firefighters didn't pass it. they claim discrimination, this case went up the chain, it went up to the appeals court and the appeals court panel where sonia sotomayor sat and she said along with those two other judges that she didn't agree with them, basically. she upheld the lower court's ruling that they were not discriminated against. the supreme court overturning her decision and this was a case that republicans focused on a

lot. really interesting to hear what they have to say, susan. >> appreciate it, thank you. these are live pictures you're looking at an aerial shot. he has become the youngest person to sail around the world. you see the media crowding around him right there. the 17-year-old's family and friends are on hand there to celebrate his return from the 28,000-mile trip at the dock. during that trip, he braved encounters with pirates and storms aboard his 36-foot boat "intrepid." again, the teenage sailor sets a new record in marina del ray, california. this recently into us here at hln. a stage being built for madonna's concert this weekend collapsed killing one person. it happened at a stadium in france. a 53-year-old french man was killed and six others injured. among them a british and an

american. they are severely injured. french papers say the concert has been canceled. once again, the stage collapsing and one person has died. we are finding out more today about the killings of a florida couple gunned down in their home while most of their adopted children were nearby. at a news conference today, bill eddins sedan eighth suspect, this woman here, pamela long wiggins has been charged as an accessory after the fact. they found key evidence in the killings of byrd and melanie billings. possibly the gun that was used to kill the couple. investigators have a theory of the motive of this crime. >> in our opinion, this was a home invasion robbery. where the people stole the safe and we recovered the safe and we think it's a simple -- and i

personally, the sheriff can speak for himself, think it is as simple as that in terms of the motive and the -- what occurred. >> as you may know, the billings adopted more than a dozen children. many of them with special needs. several were in the family home at the time of the attack. authorities say three of them may have even seen the killers. five new jersey police officers are hospitalized, two of them in critical condition following an early morning shootout in jersey city. one of the critically injured officers was reportedly shot twice in the face. he flatlined but was later revived. that is the scene shortly as it was going on, the shootings. the other critically injured officer was hit in the neck. both are undergoing surgeries now. jersey city police chief said the officers came under fire as they were trying to make a tactical entry into an apartment. >> this individual came fully ready to go to war with us.

this is not a normal shotgun. this is not a street weapon. this is one that's meant to hunt nothing other than man and he took it out on these police officers. >> two jersey city emts actually crawl under to the line of fire and pulled badly injured officers to safety. police say just prior to the shootout they were actively investigating a couple wanted in an earlier shooting. the police chief says two suspects were killed. we take you to michigan now, pretty amazing video here. hard to believe that everyone walked away from that massive explosion. the ball of flames erupted when two tanker trucks and a car crashed. one big rig was carrying 13,000 gallons of fuel. the flames collapsed in an overpass above the i-75. witnesses say they're so thankful they're even alive. >> saw a flame go up while i was at the red light and it just went up in flames and i just

left my car and took off running. >> part of the i-75, of course, it is closed indefinitely. amazingly, all three drivers have minor injuries. house lawmakers started making changes to a $1.5 trillion health care reform bill today. now, it would provide coverage to nearly all americans by subsidizing the poor and charging people and companies who don't buy insurance. there are more than 50 amendments to the bill on the table. meanwhile, president obama is doing his part to get the health care overhaul passed by next month. he is meeting with two senators today who could be potential swing votes. what do you think about this? is health care a right? if so, how do we pay for it? give us a call. 877-tell-hln. 877-835-5456. click under your views and you can also text, if that's more convenient for your. text your comments and name to hlntv and standard text rates

paul mccartney did something he hasn't done in 45 years. that is this, he sung at the eed sullivan theater in new york.

the beatles made their debut in 1964 and he was on letterman promoting his concert tour which starts tomorrow. mrk cartny also talked about his riff with michael jackson. jackson bought the publishing rights to the beatles catalog. last night paul mccartney told letterman on how that affected their relationship. >> i did talk to him about it, but he kind of blanked me on it and just kept saying, that's business, paul. so, yeah, it is. and waited for a reply. but we never kind of got to it. and i thought, so we kind of drifted apart. it was no big bust up. kind of drifted apart after that. lovely man, massively talented and we miss him. >> mccartney and jackson recorded two songs together early in the '80s and that is "the girl is mine" and "say, say, say." today is the 40th

anniversary of the "apollo 11" launch. nasa is releasing video of the live broadcast of the walk on the moon. we all remember neal armstrong's words. melissa long joins us by a step-by-step, no pun intended. >> neil armstrong, buzz aldrin and some astronauts that are most known in american homes, excuse me, worldwide homes. we'll introduce you to some of the other scientific minds that made the launch possible 40 years ago on july 16th of 1969. we're going to take you back to that morning and introduce you to jack king. he became known as the voice of the "apollo 11" launch. audio images and clips of the control room. paul donnelly he was the launch manager that morning. he reflects on the launch at 9:32 a.m. everything on "apollo 11" was

just beautiful and he also reflects on how different space exploration is today. and then a gallery that introduces you to nasa's moonwalkers. here is the gallery. click on their profile pictures and they're all from the six lunar missions, all six of them with the amazing opportunity. you can be introduced to the gentlemen for the first time and learn more about all the missions and threat laest moonwalk which was 1972. we want to remind your viewers, susan, that we're interested in i-reports, as well. we want people to reflect on 40 years ago and tell us what they remember most about that day and what they were up to. >> great ways for folks to interact and to respond where they were and also click on the experiences and hear from the folks that were there. now, the moon landing, one of the major events, you know, you just spoke about it. happened in the summer of 1969 and cnn.com has a page for a few

pivotal events that took place then, as well. >> we take you back to the riots in new york city. the stonewall riots. all about guy rights and the gay rights movement. we also take you back to california's proposition 8, banning same-sex marriage. this is, again, the summer of 1969 and who could forget woodstock. not one day, but three days when half a million people attended or tried to attend the mass concert of peace, love and rock 'n' roll. certainly an emblem for the 1960s. this entire dedication and this entire section dedicated to the 1969 year. a pivotal year. you can find it on oour website today. >> certainly was a pivotal year a lot crammed into that one year. thanks so much, appreciate it. we're talking entertainment now and nominations for the 61st annual primetime emmy awards were announced in l.a. this morning. up for best comedy series "entourage" "family guy" and

"how i met your mother." as for the dramas nominated "lost," "mad men," "house," "breaking bad," "dexter." why the coast guard had to rescue a 22-year-old man and how it's connected to that movie.

investigators may be closer to finding out what brought down a plane carrying 168 people. there were no survivors of the crash in iran. the plane had just taken off from tehran on a flight to armenia. state radio reports two of the plane's flight recorders have been found, though one of them may be damaged. witnesses say the plane's tail was on fire before it went down. tough talk from the former top u.s. commander in afghanistan. listen to what he said at his retirement. >> if you would have asked me 30 days ago if i would be here today at my retirement ceremony, i probably would have said no. maybe in a bit stronger terms. make no mistake, i was dismayed,

disappointed more than a little embarrassed. >> general david mckiernan was fired after one year of running operations in afghanistan. defense secretary robert gates said the u.s. needed new thinking to crush the taliban. he did have praise for his old boss, though. he said dwaets is the best defense secretary of his lifetime. a man is accused of getting drunk, stealing an ambulance and then leading police on an hour-long chase. the man was at a medical center to get dui blood testing and while police say he took off in an ambulance and later crash under to a pole. then he tried to get out and run. officers finally caught up with him after a police dog bit him. all right, did the "twilight" looks or movie almost send a fan over the edge? take a look at this video from washington state. the coast guard said it had to rescue a man who got stuck on a

152-foot cliff. that is where the main character in the books goes cliff diving. officials say the man just wanted to check it out. you're not going to believe this one. a almost seven miles down a river on his toy truck, seven miles. police say he wandered away while at a birthday camping trip with his family in british columbia. he floated for almost two hours before boaters found him. rescuers say he had no idea the danger he faced. >> only thing he did have a bit of concern when we got him in the boat and got the life jackets on him. he started rubbing him down to warm him up. he was pretty concerned about where his truck was. >> the boy and his truck, there they are, were reunited. he was treated for mild exposure. he was cute, wasn't he? the number of people signing up for unemployment benefits dropped this week. that's not necessarily good news though. according to economists the numbers are clouded by temporary shutdowns at auto plants and the

unemployment rate will climb until companies are sure a recovery is in place. a class action lawsuit against toys are us claims people have been naming too much for some items. there's been accusations of price fixing. just two years ago the supreme court agreed minimum price graementsz a agreements are not in and of themselves are illegal. everyone can use some good news in this bad economy so here is a bit of good news. the price for gas has go down to under $2.50. the $2.49 average for regular, it's down about 20 cents from the peak of $2.69 just a few weeks ago and it's down nearly $1.50 from this time last year. we'll take it. after a five-month absence

2:00 here in the east s. so blood to have you with us. new evidence in the case of a couple gunned down in their home. ed lavandera is in pensacola with more on the killings of byrd and melanie billings. we've heard from the sheriff already today. probably one of the most striking statements that was made was about some new evidence that is now in the hands of authorities, correct? >> yes. late last night cameras had captured authorities coming here to the sheriff's office with what appeared like a box covered with a blanket. so obviously many people started thinking that this was the safe that authorities say had been stolen from the billings home.

thor authorities and investigators verifying that. that was, indeed, what was found. they say they're in the process of going through the safe now. this comes on the heels also of authorities saying that they have recovered weapons and including what they believe to be the murder weapon in the case of byrd and melanie billings. but they won't say exactly how they found them. interesting because just hours after -- just hours before that evidence showed up here at the sheriff's department, they had been questioning the eighth suspect in this case, miss wiggins, who was the person authorities had spent much of the day looking for. we knew as the evidence was being brought in, he was being questioned at the sheriff's department. now she faces criminal charges of accessory after the fact. authorities won't say if she led them to this evidence, but you can almost read between the lines here.

just hours after they had found her and spoken with her they started turning up this evidence. if that isn't, indeed, what happened, it sure does seem to be an incredible coincidence at this point. but investigators are also saying that they're wainding don their investigation at this point. they say they have the suspects that were inside the buiillings property when these murders took place. it looks like these are peripheral figures at best. >> with eight people in custody, you would wonder how much more expansive it could be. it seems like a pretty methodical operation based on what we know thus far anyway. but you said -- you did say i know they were winding down, but they also made a call today for compassion for the billings family. how did that come up? >> reporter: well, you know, as this investigation has kind of rolled out, we had learned there's a lot of involvement from federal authorities, and the most striking of that was

the dea. obviously, the dea would only say they had been called in to assist in this investigation, and that raised a lot of questions. there was a lot of, i think, worry on the family's part. we had been told by the family's attorney that they were rather upset that the inference would be that the dea investigating this would shed a bad light on the billings family, so authorities felt compelled today to say that the reason that dea was brought into this was to look into further things that have come up in relation to the suspects in this case. >> okay, yeah, so in other words focus for the dea as far as we can tell is on the suspects, not the family. thanks for keeping us informed, as always. we appreciate it. >> reporter: you got it. thanks. >> sure. want to get to some new information, too, regarding this carnival cruise ship. a man allegedly killed his wife in a domestic dispute during the last leg of that five-night cruise to baja, california.

nearly all americans by subsidizing the poor and charging people and companies who do not buy insurance. more than -- there are more than 50 amendments i should say to this bill on the table. in the manitime, president obama is doing his part to get the health care overhaul passed by next month. he's meeting with two republican senators today who could be potential swing votes, but we want your view on this whole process, and this is what i mean. when it comes to health care, do you think it's a right and how do we pay for it? call us right now, won't you? 1-877-tell-hln or e-mail us at cnn.com/hln or text the word "views" plus your comments and names to hlntv. standard text rates apply. we're so grateful to hear from you, so thanks for contributing. nominations for the 61thsst annual em ni awards have been announced. up for best comedy, entourage,

remastered video made from the live apollo landing on the moon. that mission blasted off from florida 40 years ago today. this enhanced video gives us a clearer image of astronaut neil armstrong taking the first steps on the moon. something to see, isn't it? >> well, the wife of former british prime minister tony blair reportedly has contracted the h1n1 virus. british media report cherie blair came down with the virus on tuesday. just a couple days ago. so far tony blair's office is refusing to comment on his wife's sickness, but british media say the former prime minister and the couple's four children have not shown any signs of infection themselves. health officials say 29 people have died in britain from swine flu. also, a 3-year-old boy floated almost seven miles down a river on his toy truck. police say he wandered away while camping with his family sunday in british columbia and

floated for almost two hours before a boater found him. rescuers say he had no idea of the danger that he faced. >> only thing he did have a bit of concern when we got him in the boat and got the life jackets on him or floater coats and started rubbing him down to warm him up, he was pretty concerned about where his truck was. >> the boy and his truck were reunited obviously. he was treated for mild exposure, but just glad he's okay. brand new video for you from marina dell ray, california. after more than a year at see, teenager zac sunderland has achieved a world record. he's the youngest person to sail around the world alone. good for him. congratulations. the 17-year-old's family and friends on hand to celebrate his return from the 28,000-mile trip. here are live pictures as he addresses the media. want to let you know, he braved ento encounters with pirates and

well, the europe peep firms are joining forces to try to harness the power given off by the sun. they're looking to the desert too, to help. >> reporter: imagine financial couple companies decide to invest billions to put solar

plants in the desert. several of europe's largest firms are planning to do just that. ladies and gentlemen, he says, here are 13 signatures that show our commitment to the desert tech principles and to a memorandum of understanding. among those signing, deutsche bank, power giant ion, semseeme. the desert tech industrial initiative could be one of the largest investments in renewable energy of all time. this is a big project, the chairman says, but it could replace investment in other things. so we're not talking about additional money. we're talking about investors switching. they want to invest in solar power. some 400 billion euros or $550 billion will be needed in the next 30 to 40 years the founders believe, but they also think by

2050 solar generators could provide up to 15% of europe's energy and also deliver power to countries hosting the plan. so far though the project is little more than a memorandum of understanding. >> we face any problems in the way, of course we will, it is a very ambitious project as you s see. most likely there will be some issues. >> reporter: one of the issues critics say, could be political instability in some nations hosting the power stations. we have to ask ourselves, he says, whether we want to replace dependence on oil with depen tense on electricity from other places. but the founders of the desert tech initiative will hardly let those concerns hold them back. they say the technology is available and the time is now in spite of the economic crisis. fred pleitgen, cnn, berlin.

♪ >> you know that unmistakable voice. paul mccartney performing at the ed sullivan theater in new york yesterday. that's where the beatles made their american tv debut in 1964. late show with david letterman is taped there now. mccartney was on letterman promoting his concert tour which starts tomorrow, but he also talked about his rift with michael jackson. you might remember jackson bought the publishing rights to the beatles catalog. last night mccartney told letterman how that affected their relationship. >> well, i did talk to him about it, but he kind of blanked me on it. he kept saying it's just business, paul, you know. so, yeah, it is, and waited for a reply. but we never kind of got to it,

and i thought, so we kind of drifted apart. it was no big bust up. kind of drifted apart after that. he was a lovely man. massively talented, and we miss him. >> mccartney and jackson recorded two songs together in the early '80s. mere is michael jordan probably as you've never seen him before. 20,000 gatorade bottles make up this work of art. it's just bottles turned upside down. isn't that something? the piece is in honor of jordan's upcoming indunks into the hall of fame. listen here. a class action lawsuit against toys "r" us claims people have been paying too much for some baby products. five manufacturers also named in the suit are accused of conspiring with the toy chain to fix prices on a long list of goods including strollers, highchairs, car seats. the case is unusual though because just two years ago the supreme court ruled minimum price agreements are not in and

of themselves illegal, which this basically is. about 1,000 people have picked up free coffee in one missouri town, and it started with one good samaritan. last week she paid for the next customer's drink in the drive through, and people have been paying it forward ever since. customers have even donated extra money to keep this chain going. >> people i think are wanting to be a part of something knowing that their five cents or dollar goes to a greater good. they might not be able to change the economy, but they can change one person's day by doing this simple little gesture. >> the coffee shop's collected so much extra money it's sharing it with other restaurants in town. what a great story. like to see the good out there still. boy, look at this horrifying scene. this is on the georgia highway. police officers pulled up to a van obviously as you can see there engulfed in flames. people were trapped inside. the incredible rescue that came next.

isn't it hard to believe that everyone walked away from this massive explosion on a highway near detroit? this ball of flames erupted when two tanker trucks and a car crashed. one big rig was carrying 13,000 gallons of fuel, and those flames actually collapsed an overpass above i-75. in fact, part of i-75 is closed indefinitely, but all three drivers have just minor injuries.

and another explosion, this one in georgia. police pulled up really just in time to save two people from a van that burst into flames on the highway. you see it there. the remarkable rescue was caught on tape. michelle marsh from wgcl has it for us. >> reporter: it's a family road trip for the king family. everything is going as planned until a tire blows, sparks fly, and this fire ignites. the minivan erupts into a fireba fireball. two of the four family members are still inside. it's all caught on police dashcam video. >> my door wouldn't open. michelle, my sister, was still in the van and daddy was trying to put out the fire. >> as marietta police pull up you can hear sisters stephanie and michelle king screaming for police to help their mom. she's disabled, can't walk, and

trapped between the flaming vehicle and the guardrail. here you see police pulling her to safety. >> i thank all of them for helping. i thank the lord for getting them there. >> reporter: everyone made it out alive. stephanie only has this small cut. her father, david, who is also disabled, managed to escape with second-degree burns on his arm. her sister and mom have more serious burns but will be okay. the family asked to see the video from this remarkable rescue for the first time, but when we pressed play -- >> i can't watch it. >> reporter: eyes filled with tears. they couldn't stand to watch. they thank god and police for saving them. >> thank the lord for them, and we're just thanking the lord he got us all out. >> my goodness. again, our thanks to michelle marsh reporting from affiliate wgcl. two of the family members are still in the hospital and they're recovering from their burns. supreme court nominee sonia

sotomayor now off the hot seat, it seems. during day four of her confirmation hearings today some republicans on the senate judiciary committee said they were frustrated, but they say there won't be a gop filibuster when her nomination hits the full chamber. earlier today sotomayor once again defended one of her key decisions. >> the question was the precedent that existed and whether viewing it one would view this as the city discriminating on the basis of race or the city concluding that because it was unsure that its test actually avoided disparate impact but still tested for necessary qualifications, was it discriminating on the basis of race by not certifying the test? >> two of those firefighters are testifying before the senate judiciary committee, in fact, right now.

there's one of them. a live look for you. lawmakers are moving forward with sweeping overhauls to the health care system. do you have a right to health care and how do we pay for it? you answer those questions in a moment.

have some new details for new the shooting deaths of florida couple byrd and melanie billings right now. they of course adopted at least a dozen children with special needs. at a news conference, the state attorney said this woman is the eighth suspect. pamela long wig yns. she's been arrested and charged with being an accessory after the fact. investigators now believe the billings were killed last week as part of a home invasion robbery. the attorney also said investigators have found some key evidence in this crime. >> we have located evidence, valuable evidence. we have located the safe.

the safe is being processed at this time. we have located several guns in various locations, one of which we believe is the murder weapon, we believe. it has not been processed yet. >> now, with the news conference, escambia county sheriff david morgan said he's accepting help from several law enforcement agencies. >> dea is providing investigative assistance at the request of the escambia county sheriff's office. no additional information is being provided at this time. that's a statement from the dea. now, to put that in context is the dea was called in on the suspects in this crime to assist us in that area. the individuals that are currently incarcerated. they're assisting us in any area that developed from that. additionally, i will restate, which i believe i stated numerous times last night, that the billings family to the best of my knowledge is not the focus of any investigation by the dea,

and i'm not sure where that may have started, but please today let us put that to rest. and, again -- >> several of the billings children were at home at the time of the attack. authorities say three of them may have seen those intruders. also watching five new jersey police officers who are hospitalized today. two of them in critical condition. this is following an early morning shootout in jersey city, which you're seeing part of. one of the critically injured officers was reportedly shot twice in the face. he flat lined but was revived we're told. the other critically injured officer was hit in the neck. both are undergoing surgery. the police chief said the officers came under fire as they were trying to make a tactical entry into an apartment. >> this individual came fully ready to go to war with us. this is not a normal shotgun. this is not a street weapon. this is one that's meant to hunt nothing other than man, and he took it out on these police officers.

>> two jersey city paramedics actually crawled into that line of fire and pulled badly injured officers to safety. police say just prior to the shootout though, they were actively investigating a couple wanted in an earlier shooting, and they say the gun battle started on the street before they moved into the building. so once the gunfire stopped, police say both suspects they realized were dead. newly released video graphically shows exactly what happened when michael jackson's hair caught fire during filming of a pepsi commercial. this was back in 1984, and ted rowlands shows it to us. >> reporter: the video obtained by "us weekly" shows michael jackson's hair on fire. but as you can see jackson doesn't seem to notice until people surround him. the first one there was jackson's long-time friend miko brando, son of actor marlon brando. i went up to him, shook his head, threw him down to the ground and tried to do the best

i could. >> reporter: you can see as jackson gets up, his head is significantly burned, down to the scalp. >> he initially felt a very hot area and couldn't distinguish whether it was the hot lights or something was happening, and after a second or two he felt the intense onset of pain, fell to the ground, and several people came to put out the fire and apply ice to his head. >> reporter: days after the incident, jackson unsuccessfully tried to get the footage released. his record label, cbs records, released this photo. >> pepsi eventually ended up releasing the ad which featured jackson and his brothers. jackson would later claim the accident and subsequent medical treatment led to an addiction to prescription drugs. >> as you may already know after my tour ended, i remain out of the country undergoing treatment for a dependency on pain medication. this medication was initially prescribed for excruciating pain

i was surfiffering after reconstruction surgery on my scalp. >> reporter: what if any drugs were in jackson's system at the time of his death is still an unanswered question. the l.a. coroner expects that toxicology results could be back within the next week. ted rowlands, cnn, los angeles. well, the wife of former british prime minister tony blair reportedly has contracted the h1n1 virus. british media reports cherie blair came down with this virus known as the swine flu on tuesday. so far tony blair's office is refusing to comment on his wife's sickness, but british media say the former prime minister and the children -- the couple's four children, i should say, haven't shown any signs of infection. health officials say 29 people though have died in britain from swine flu. supreme court nominee sonia sotomayor off the hot seat this hour. she's been excused from testifying for the rest of the day before the senate judiciary committee.

before taking a recess, the px committee's ranking republican admitted he wasn't fully convinced by sotomayor's testimony. >> i'm going to think about this carefully. i have serious concerns. i have expressed those in speeches on the floor and in here in the committee, and i believe that there's a basis for serious concerns at this time. >> republicans say they're frustrated, but there will not be a gop filibuster when her nomination hits the full chamber. earlier today sotomayor once again defended a 2008 ruling against new haven firefighters in a reverse discrimination case. that decision was later overturned by the supreme court. now, two of the firefighters sotomayor sided against are testifying before the senate committee today, in fact. i know most of you wouldn't get much of a discount on health insurance if congress approves a massive reform bill. that's the word, anyway, from the director of the congressional budget office. he testified today that current versions in the house and senate would increase government

spending on health care without raeni reining in the costs enough. they started working on amendments to the $1.5 trillion bill today. we'd like your view on this whole subject, and we want it in this context s health care in your opinion a right, and how do we pay for it? call us at 1-877-tell-hln. or e-mail us at cnn.com/hln and click under "your views." ux text us, too. the word "views" your comments and name to hlntv. want to let you know standard text rates do apply, just so there are no surprises there. we'd love to hear from you. thank you so much for being part of our discussion here. a woman who's been laid off twice doesn't want to be a victim anymore, so she's turning or trying to turn her love of dogs into a lucrative business. some tips she got could help you become your own boss, too.

here is some video as he comes in there. the 17-year-old's family and friends were on hand to celebrate his return from this 28,000-mile trip. >> yeah, society puts younger people like 15 through 18 in kind of a box that no one is really expected to do much. kind of just pretend to go to high school and play football and that's pretty much it, you know. and there's so much more potential that people can do with the right motivation and the right, you know, ambition in life. so my thing would just be to get out there and do hard things. go for it with all you got. >> seems like quite a role model. during the trip he braved encounters with pirates and storms aboard his 36-foot boat called "intrepid" by the way. he may not have the record for long. british sailor mike purrham is a few months younger than sunderland and is sailing a bigger and faster boat right now. nonetheless, congratulations zac and your family. that's awesome. today is the 40th

beautiful. that is his quote. interactive galleries can also be found on cnn.com of nasa's moon walkers all from the apollo missions that went up to space. only 12 men actually, christi, walked on the moon, and you can read all about them on cnn.com. we're also asking for your i-reports. i know you don't remember this, chris yi, but we are asking -- i don't remember either, i wasn'tg alive -- but where were you when that happened? so we want to obviously know. i think we can fudge a little. you andg i can participate, g christi.g there's a reliving of the moon g walk going on online right now, so i guess we can extend that to say where were you when they walked on the moon really when it happened, and where were you this time, 40 years later when it was relived. >> i was about seven months old i think when that happened. the moon landing, of course, obviously just one of the major events though that happened in the summer of '69.

cnn.com, you have a special page dedicated to a few other pivotal events that happened then. >> a lot of things happened. the stonewall riots which is a major gay rights movement, major moment in the gay rights movement i should say. the charles manson murders also happened then. and woodstock, christi, three weekends after man walked on the moon, about a half a million people attended or tried to attend the woodstock music festival. as you know, it was three days of a whole lot of peace, love, and music. so there you go. a little walk down memory lane for you on cnn.com. both features very popular at pp this hour. >> i'm not surprised.pp all right. nicole lapin, good to see you. thank you. >> you're welcome. >> sure. well, one out of work military vet didn't let her situation stop her from pursuing one of her dreams. susan candiotti has her story in this week's "money and main street." >> reporter: in the eight years since she retired from the air force, lawlor ri lawrence has

had three different jobs. he quit one and was laid off twice. after the last layoff in february, she started rethinking her options. >> started thinking i'm tired of going through this. what would i really enjoy? >> reporter: though her aging husky cody is too old to need much grooming anymore, cody inspired her to set her sights on opening a dog grooming business in the upscale atlanta suburb of peach tree city. but money was tight. so she swallowed her pride and opened a fruit stand. >> it is not doing anything like what i had hoped that it would do, but it's more money than i had last week. >> reporter: fruit is only bringing in a few hundred dollars a week. compared to that, dog grooming looks like a good mine. >> people spent $42 billion last year on their pets alone. you know, it's there. how do i get in? i want in, you know. >> reporter: lori attended a number of sba seminars and googled business plans of other

startups, then drafted her own. small business experts danny bab and john rutledge offered to take a look. >> she has a specific idea in her head about what this is going to look like and what the consumer is going to walk away with. >> reporter: john and dani helped lori reduce her startup costs from $147,000 to just $35,000. they showed her how to save money on labor and equipment. she suggested she look for free advice online instead of hiring an attorney and cpa. and they're helping her negotiate a better lease in a down and out commercial real estate market. >> in your plan you have also things like pet sitting, dog taxi, retail, a bakery. all ways of adding more revenues onto just the basic wash your dog. >> reporter: for the time being, dog washing is all lori offers, but she hopes to be providing the pampered pooches in her area is full range of services by the end of next month.

susan candiotti, cnn.

want to get you to capitol hill right now. that's new haven, connecticut, firefighters frank ricci you're looking at. he's testifying at supreme court nominee sonia sotomayor's confirmation hearing. he's the man at the center of one of sotomayor's most disputed court rulings when she dismissed the firefighters' arguments without a hearing in a reverse discrimination case. let's listen to what he has to say. >> almost all our tasks are time sensitive. when your house is on fire or your life is in jeopardy, there are no time for do-overs. the lieutenant's test that i took was without a doubt job related exam that was based on skills, knowledge, and abilities needed to ensure public and the firefighter's safety. we all had an equal opportunity

to succeed as individuals, and we were all provided a road map to prepare for the exam. achievement is limited nor determined by one's race but by one's skills, dedication, commitment and character. ours is not a job that can be handed out without regard to merit and qualification. for this reason, i and many others prepared for these positions throughout our careers. i studied harder than i ever had before, reading, making flash cards, highlighting, reading again, all while listening to prepared tapes. i went before numerous panels to prepare for the oral assessment. i was a virtual absentee father and husband for months because of it. in 2004 the city of new haven felt not enough minorities would be promoted and the city's

service rules and the charter would be too high. therefore they chose not to fill the vacancies. such action deprived all of us the process set forth by the rule of law. firefighters who earned promotions were denied them. despite the important civil rights and constitutional claims we raised, the court of appeals panel disposed of our case is an unsigned, unpublished summary order of a single paragraph that made mention of my dyslexia and led many to think that this was a case about me and a disability. this case had nothing to do with that. it had everything to do with ensuring our command officers were competent to answer the call and our right to advance in our profession based on merit regardless of race. >> all right. you're hearing his arguments there. frank lucci, a firefighter from new haven after sonia sotomayor dismissed the arguments without

a hearing in a reverse discrimination case that was overturned by the supreme court, and they are arguing in her hearing confirmation now. we are going to be back in just a moment. -d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d@

you're watching "hln" 3:00 eastern time. we begin in florida where investigators say they have new details in the case of a couple who were gunned down in their home last week. ed lavandera joins us from pensacola. great to see you again. what are authorities saying about the arrest of an eighth suspect in the case? we have been showing video of this seventh suspect but now an eighth. >> reporter: right. and that is pamela long wiggins. she was the person that authorities say was very close friend of the mastermind of these killings, leonard patrick gonzalez jr. in fact, we were just reading her arrest report, and they say that it was her red minivan that was parked near the billings'

home and was used in the getaway from this crime scene. and we've also learned here just a short while ago that she has posted bond already this morning. so while the other seven suspects are still in jail here, she is out still facing these charges. she faces a felony count of accessory after the fact. so clearly authorities believe she played an instrumental part in helping these people -- these suspects cover up this crime. so kind of a still-developing situation here, susan, as we really learn more and start piecing together her involvement, and even though authorities say she wasn't at the crime scene itself, the role she played in the moments before and after these killings. >> we've been talking about all of the suspects and the arrests. and it's such a tragedy, ed, as you know. this couple known for adopting kids with special needs. any word on where the kids are or where they'll end up? >> reporter: we've been told that that is being kept private.

that the family is keeping those children in a private location given the attention that this story is getting. they wanted to make sure that they were away from all of this. also, we still haven't heard whether or not sheriff's deputies or the sheriff's department has turned the home back over to them, or if it was still a crime scene. we are still waiting to get an update on that. so it might be possible that going home just isn't an option at this point. but the family members are saying that they will continue to care for these children and that they will remain in the care of this family for the future. >> so devastating. we heard today, ed, about the safe and the motive, of course, being burglary, robbery. what do you know about the safe? any new information on that? >> reporter: well, we know that the safe has been recovered, that investigators are in the process of going through that. it was recovered yesterday just a few hours after ms. wiggins was arrested in this case.

and authorities also say that they have found the weapons that were used in this, also the weapon that was the weapon that is believed to be the murder weapon. so that is being sent out for ballistics testing and all of that as well. susan? >> a devastating story that keeps unraveling. ed lavandera, thanks so much for the latest information. we take you to new jersey now where five police officers are hospitalized. two of them in critical condition following an early-morning shootout in jersey city. one of the critically injured officers were reportedly shot twice in the face. he flatlined but was revived. the other was hit in the neck. both were taken into surgery. jersey city's police chief says the officers came under fire as they were trying to make a tactical entry into an apartment. >> this individual came fully ready to go to war with us. this is not a normal shotgun. it's not a street weapon. this is one that's meant to hunt nothing other than men.

and he took it out on these police officers. >> two jersey city paramedics actually crawled into the line of fire and pulled the badly injured officers to safety. police say just prior to that shootout, they were actively investigating a couple wanted in an earlier shooting. they say the gun battle started on the street before moving into that building. police say both suspects were killed in that exchange. well, it has been five months since her family has seen or heard from 5-year-old haleigh cummings, and the question still remains, what happened to her? she disappeared from her father's home february 10th. her father's live-in girlfriend called 911 at 3:00 a.m. after she says she awoke and noticed the backdoor propped open with a brick. investigators say they have no suspects at this time. and last month they said they are following up on 4,000-plus leads but no suspects. there's a $35,000 reward in this case.

chronic headaches after eight years. that's not to say the kids were headache free. 75% of them still had occasional migraines or likely migraines. but the key conclusion of the study is encouraging. over time most of the children got better. for today's "health minute," i'm susan hendricks. we're talking about a fascinating boy. he's 12 years old. he's i-reporter jonathan lee. and he looks like any other kid except he started his own movement. jonathan wants to get kids interested in protecting the environment. he's on a quest to get fast food companies on board with recycling. and this summer he's taking his cause around the world. >> hi, my name is jonathan, and i'm the creator of go green man. in the u.s. with campaigns asking restaurants to recycle. i asked people on the street if they were recycling. they all want to do it, so why aren't we? >> that's unbelievable.

are among those that go to local dumps in order to buy food. this is chris and he has a sad story. most of his body was burned when he was pushed into a burning tire. why? because of a piece of food. to me he's a real hero. i see hope for the philippines because of people like him who recycle that are in school who are trying to learn. >> let's recycle! >> i decided to start i see hope in the philippines. ic stands for international cooperation of environmental use and hope stands for helping our polluted earth. i see hope. do you? the go green man investigation will continue. >> it will continue. and we would like to thank jonathan lee for that report. the go green man report. well, i-report has contacted the fast food chains for a response and found on mcdonald's and kfc websites, they report on their effort to recycle. a horrifying scene on a

said an eighth suspect, that woman there, that is pamela long wiggins, has been arrested and charged with being an accessory after the fact. she is now free on bond. the couple was killed last week. and investigators believe it was a home invasion robbery. eddins also said investigators have found some key evidence in this crime. >> you have located evidence, valuable evidence. we have located the safe. the safe is being processed at this time. we have located several guns in various locations, one of which we belief is the murder weapon, we believe. it has not been processed yet. >> escambia county sheriff david morgan says he is accepting help from several law enforcement agencies. >> the dea is providing investigative assistance at the request of the escambia county sheriff's office. no additional information is being provided at this time.

that's a statement from the dea. now, to put that in context is the dea was called in on the suspects in this crime to assist us in that area. the individuals that are currently incarcerated. so they're assisting us in any area that develop from that. and additionally, i will restate, which i believe i stated numerous times last night, that the billings family, to the best of my knowledge, is not the focus of any investigation by the dea. and i'm not sure where that may have started, but please today let us put that to rest. >> also several of the billings' children were home during this horrible attack. authorities say three of them may actually have seen these murders. five new jersey police sfsh officers have been wounded in a shootout in jersey city, and two are in critical condition. the two suspects who opened fire are dead. we are waiting for a police news conference that is expected to

happen at any moment. meantime, we'll learn to our law enforcement analyst mike brooks with more insight on the shooting. first of all, mike, five officers hurt. that's unbelievable. we'll talk about the weapon in just a moment. but from what we understand, this happened because police had their eye on a vehicle and some suspects. kind of connect the dots from there for us. >> there had been a robbery at a place where you get your oil changed recently. it was a man and a woman caught on videotape. they actually shot -- they robbed the place and then shot a man and left him to die at the scene. so the major case squad had developed this case. and they had tracked him down to this particular apartment. they found the car. they were waiting for them to come outside because you had to move the car by a certain time. they came out a little bit earlier. well, the man was dressed almost like a priest with a friar robe on. they approached him. a lieutenant was outside, the detective was inside. they went to approach him. he pulls out this shotgun and opens fire. he blew the window out, shot the deckive in the leg. >> the first officer. >> exactly. he was shot in the leg.

then he ran into an apartment building on reeves street and barricaded himself in a room on the third floor. >> and from there, they call in for backup. so several more officers come. at this scene when it's all said and done, four more officers were hurt. >> right. >> and then the two suspects are killed in this shootout. >> exactly. >> almost played out like a movie. >> it really did. they set up a perimeter and called for emergency services unit which is like their swath te s.w.a.t. team. it was jersey city. they were going to make a tactical entry into this room to get these two perps and they opened fire on these officers. >> let me stop you for a minute. they shot -- correct me if i'm wrong, they shot through the wall, through the door. >> they sure did. >> they just started firing. >> the chief said they were ready for war. they shot one officer twice in the face, one officer in the neck, another one in the back. but his vest stopped that. a port authority officer was shot in the arm. i'm glad to say, just got done

talking to the chief on cnn, and he said one officer shot in the neck has been upgraded to stable condition. but the officer shot twice in the face is still in critical, and he asked for, you no he, his prayers for he and his family because he's in very critical condition right now. >> also talk about what these emts did. they're being called heroes. >> two emts. while this was going on, you had two officers down in critical condition. they volunteered to go up while the bun h gun battle was still going on. officers from esu were firing back at the perps. they went in and drug them out. now, the one officer shot twice in the face, he was basically flatlined. they started doing cpr on him under fire, got them out of the way. otherwise we would have had two officers possibly dead there on the scene. but they got them out and got them to the medical center for treatment. and that's when he went into surgery. apparently they're just getting out of surgery, one still critical and one's been upgraded to stable. but the heroicses of those two emts that saved at least two officers' lives. >> thank you for painting the pick there for us.

>> yes. >> in the end five officers hurt and those two suspects also lost their lives. >> a man and woman. yep. >> we'll hopefully get more information from the chief, thomas comi hopefully at any moment now. thank you, mike. meantime, today's news, supreme court nominee sotomayor is off the hot seat, excused from testifying for the rest of the day by the senate judiciary committee. firefighters sotomayor sided against in a 2008 reverse discrimination case, they also had a chance to have their say. a three-judge panel that included sotomayor upheld a judgment against white firefighters in new haven, connecticut. one of those firefighters, frank ricci, testified the panel dismissed his case with a short paragraph-long explanation. that decision was later overturned by the supreme court. the judiciary committee's ranking republican said he pxpx wasn't fully convinced by sotomayor's testimony. >> i'm going to think about this carefully. i have serious concerns.

i've expressed those in speeches on the floor and here in the committee. and i believe that there's a basis for serious concerns at this time. >> republicans say they are frustrated, but there won't be a gop filibuster when her nomination reaches the senate floor. the wife of former prittish prime minister tony blair reportedly has contracted the h1n1 virus. british media reports cherie blair came down with swine flu on tuesday. so far tony blair's office has not commented on his wife's sickness. british media say the former prime minister and the couple's four children have shown no signs of this infection. health officials say 29 people have died in britain from the swine flu. a stage being built for madonna's concert this weekend collapsed, killing one worker. this happened t eed at a stadiu the south of france. six other workers were hurt. an official says the roof was about two-thirds complete when it gradually started collapsing

on top of these workers. madonna was aitin italy when th happened. as she put it, my prayers go out to those injured and their family as long with my deepest sympathies to all those afengted by this heartbreaking news. and sunday's concert has been canceled because of this. and stick around because we are hoping to get more information, like i said, on that, what happened with the horrible shooting of the five police officers in jersey city. we're keeping an eye on this. we're hoping to hear from the police chief any moment now. so keep it here on "hln news and views."

most of you wouldn't get much of a discount on health insurance if congress approves a massive reform bill. that's the word from the director of the congressional budget office. he testified today that current versions in the house and senate would increase government spending on health care without reining in the costs.

house lawmakers started working on amendments to its $1.5 trillion bill today. let's dig into this debate. we've been asking for your views. do you think health care is a right? if so, how in the world do we pay for it? hln callers have been blowing up the phones. let's get to george from harrisburg, pennsylvania. all right, george, go for it. >> caller: i think it's a right for all americans. when we work, we're buying things in this country, whether you're working or not, unemployed, you're still buying things and paying taxes in this country. so we have a right to health care. and to pay for health care, i think we should come up with a tax on ammo. we have ammo being sold to the government for wars. we have ammo being sold every day in this country for handguns, for private. which i have no problem with. i'm a handgun owner myself.

>> okay. >> caller: and i think if we put a tax on ammo, we could probably pay for health care. >> okay. george, thank you for that. and you did bring an idea to the table. all right. jerry's calling us from florida. jerry, bring it. >> caller: well, i really believe health care is not a right. it is a privilege. i would really compare it to driving. driving is a privilege. it's not something that we're just given. an alternative, we see the government, and some people just see, as a cash cow, but it's more like the auto insurance companies where you can go to esurance.com and get a policy for aetna. if the government waublts to help, why not give people that are paying taxes a tax credit? why create an additional form of health care? why not reform what we currently

have like medicare and medicaid? >> okay. >> caller: our country has become so -- we have to become more consumer-driven health care advocate. my major concern is that why -- >> jerry, i'm going to have to start you up. we have a lot of people that have views. you're saying clean up what we've got and be a little more competitive. jerry, thank you. darla's calling us from illinois. what are your thoughts? >> caller: i'm kind of iffy with my thoughts. my thoughts are basically since things aren't working properly with health care, why not do more research? why not find out how the canadians are doing this? and it's been very successful. again, we need to not look so much to the government because the government really hasn't really given us a fair deal, it seems like, and it doesn't create jobs. however, i believe that it is a right for us to have the health care because how else can anyone do anything without health care? it is definitely needed. >> darla, before i let you go,

let me ask you quickly, do you have insurance? >> caller: unfortunately, no. >> oh, wow. all right. hate to hear that. but thank you. >> caller: that's why. uh-huh. >> thank you for sharing your views, though. we appreciate it. and john is bringing it home from california. all right, john, you have the floor. >> caller: hey, richelle. first of all, i really like your show and thanks for the opportunity to voice out. i think health care should not be a right. i think it should be performance based to some extent like life insurance. i used to smoke cigarettes, and i was a little overweight. and i paid a higher premium for my life insurance. i quit smoking cigarettes. i got fit and got my weight down and got the best rate you can get for life insurance. and i think that's part of the problem with the health care system is people can just abuse themselves and then everyone else has to take care of them because there's really no incentive to be healthy. >> all right. john, a little bit of personal responsibility. >> caller: a little bit. >> john, thank you for your kind words to start off the call and thank you for bringing your thoughts to the table. and congratulations on quitting that smoking thing. that's pretty good. appreciate it, john.

all right. hln facebook viewers, they're commenting as well on my page. this is what tara said. of course, it's not a right. it's as much a right as groceries. are we going to have universal free grocery stores? all right, tara. and healther said this. i think everyone should be able to have affordable health care. i haven't had health insurance since 2002. and if anything happens, i would lose my home trying to pay the bill. thank you for everyone who brought your ideas and thoughts and passion to the table. we'll do it again tomorrow with another topic. and do stick around. we're still keeping our ear to what's happening in jersey city. we're expecting a press conference to get more information on that horrible shooting this morning that left five police officers injured. two suspects dead. we're not going to miss a moment of this. don't go anywhere.

like i said, this is incredible new black-and-white video showing humanity's first visit to another world. nasa is releasing a digitally remastered video from the live broadcast of the "apollo 11" landing on the moon. that mission blasted off from florida 40 years ago today. the enhanced video gives us a clearer image of astronaut neil armstrong taking the first steps on the moon. and the moon mission captured the nation's imagination, and people hung on every word transmitted from "apollo 11" that much of the on-board

chatter wasn't broadcast. now nasa is giving us all a glimpse into the private moments between neil armstrong, buzz aldrin and michael collins, conversations recorded by a tape database on "apollo 11" have now been posted on the internet. here's the crew getting its first glimpse of the lunar surface.

>> that is fantastic. you can hear more clips and see more clips and transcripts as well at nasa.gov. well, it's hard to believe everyone walked away from a massive explosion on an interstate near detroit. i'm talking about that. check out the ball of flames that erupted when two tanker trucks and a car crashed. one big rig was carrying 13,000 gallons of fuel. the flames collapsed an overpass above i-75, and witnesses say they are just glad they were able to walk away from this. >> a ball of flames went up when i was at the red light. it just went up in flames. and then i just left my car and i took off running. >> part of i-75 is closed indefinitely. and the three drivers involved only have minor injuries. unbelievable. did the "twilight" books almost send a fan over the edge? take a look at this video from

washington state. the coast guard says it had to rescue a 22-year-old man who got stuck on 150-foot cliff. apparently that's where the vampire series' main character goes cliff diving in the second book. officials say this man, a grown man, 22, just wanted to check it out. okay. the sears tower is no more. as of today, the country's tallest skyscraper has a new name. it is the willis tower. it's named after a british company that's the building's main tenant. everyone's not happy, though. a facebook group has collected thousands of signatures in an online petition. they said would paris change the name of the eiffel tower? the dow industrials gained 468 points in the first three days of the week. stephanie elam joins us from new york. some stocks were able to extend this rally today. hey, steph. >> hi. go ahead and count it. stocks extended this week's rally to a fourth day in a row.

investors welcomed another strong earnings report, this one from jpmorgan chase. the dow gains hed 95 points. the nasdaq jumped more than 1% to 1885 and the s&p 500 tacked on 8 points. all three of the major averages have rallied by about 7% so far this week. meanwhile, the number of people filing for jobless claims fell to the lowest level in six months. the government says 522,000 americans filed for unemployment benefits for the first time last week, down nearly 50,000 from the previous week. continuing claims also fell, but while the numbers are encouraging, economists say the drop in filings still doesn't mean job prospects are improving. the federal reserve projected yesterday that the national unemployment rate will top a staggering 10% this year. richelle? >> thank you, stephanie. there's been a lot of concerns, speculation over who will take care of michael jackson's kids. but who do they want as a mom? katherine jackson? debbie rowe? someone else altogether?

our jane velez-mitchell weighs in. ñññoññ ooññyñq not long ago, this man had limited mobility.

last month, this woman wasn't even able to get around inside of her own home. they chose mobility. and they chose the scooter store! if you or a loved one live with limited mobility call the scooter store! no other company will work harder to make you mobile or do more to guarantee your complete satisfaction. if we pre-qualify you for a new power chair or scooter and your claim isn't approved, the scooter store will give you your power chair or scooter free. that's our guarantee. they were so helpful and nice. they filed all the paperwork, and medicare and my insurance covered the cost. we can work directly with medicare or with your insurance company. we can even help with financing. if there's a way, we'll find it! so don't wait any longer, call the scooter store today.

we're taking you live to jersey city for an update on that shooting involving five police officers. >> a terrible shootout thereafter around 6:45 a.m. in which five officers were hit. three with graze injuries and two with serious injuries. at 6:45, 7:00 a.m. this morning, we had two officers who were critical. one we thought was mortally wounded. due to the tremendous efforts of the surgeons, nurses and staff at the jersey city medical center this morning, we are happy to say that both of those officers are critically injured, we have much better hopes for them at this time this

afternoon, particularly the one that we felt was mortally wounded has responded well due to their tremendous efforts, and we have reason for good hopes. after -- when i departed here at 11:15 this morning, i took the opportunity to go down to homedale and greet our president and to advise him of the situation and what had transp e transpired here in jersey city and the heroic and skillful efforts by the port authority, the emts and the hudson county sheriff and backup. he was already aware of that situation. i brought to him -- to light to him the needs and the tremendous courage and talent in our jcpd and that we needed some federal assistance. also talked to him about the flood of illegal guns which he's aware of. he told me that he was aware of our officers, aware of their tremendous skill and bravery this morning, and that he sends

his regards to those officers and to all of those families. and then after i left, he publicly made a similar announcement. so once again, our jcpd did great things. two vicious predators will no longer be a problem to our city, our state and our earth due to their brave efforts and skill. and i'm going to introduce to you now our police chief, tom comey, who will bring you a little more of all of the details of what transpired over really the last month is when this all started to unfold. chief? >> thank you. >> once again, great efforts here by the staff and the surgeons of the jersey city medical center. they performed a miracle this morning. >> i'd like to reiterate that. upon my arrival here this morning, the prognosis was grim, to say the least. within a short period of time that i responded back here with

the officers' wives, his prognosis had greatly improved, which is a relief. i want to give you a time line. and we're going to give a little bit of a brief history. last week on thursday, we held a press conference that we were seeking a vehicle wanted for what we considered to be a heinous robbery where an individual was shot inside his van before he ever got out. the information we developed through the help of the public was the pictures of the two individuals that were posted here and are posted here. okay? we began to get more and more information. the information we received indicated that this vehicle moved between 5:45 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. every other day for alternate side of the street parking. okay? at 11:00 p.m. last night, myself

and deputy chief who was the acting chief in my absence, authorized an operation to try to take the vehicle down. we were in preparation for that operation when they came out 30 minutes earlier today. and all things being equal in the world, we don't know why they came out 30 minutes earlier. at that particular moment in time, it forced the hands of lieutenant michely and the lieutenant of our department to try to take some type of action. i reviewed a videotape that we're not going to make available because it's part of the prosecution. but immediately upon seeing officers in an unmarked unit approaching him, the actor dropped the rope that he was using to hide the weapon, went into a combat stance adischarge three times at the police car. we were fortunate enough lieutenant kelly had entered the vehicle and tried to approach

the suspect from the rear. one of the shots would have probably killed lieutenant kelly as he sat in the passenger side of the car. so simultaneously lieutenant kelly's trying to approach him on foot while detective lavelle is coming at him in an unmarked unit. as he strikes the vehicle, detective lavelle is struck in the leg and sustains a superficial wound. this takes place at approximately 5:15 to 5:16 a.m. at 5 -- upon conclusion of a brief foot pursuit where they determined where he had run into, they put out a request for city units to come in and help them coordinate to help seal off the building. between 5:20 and 5:46 a.m., the perimeter is completely sealed. and they begin to formulate a plan to evacuate the residents of that building. 24 reed street has approximately 21 units. they were in apartment 3b. at 6:02 a.m., the evacuation ongoing. and at 6:30 a.m., they're now

confident that the building has been emptied, and they begin to make entry securing it floor by floor. but approximately 6:33 a.m., one of the officers observing the exterior of the building noticed movement in what was later determined to be apartment 3b which is where the actor and the actress had run. they made their way up to that apartment. at 6:44, after announcing their presence and making numerous requests, we knew there was somebody in there, they got no response. a tactical entry was ordered. the minute they opened the door, they came under fire. at that time detective -- at that time officers dinardo, comauchco and molina of the port authority were struck. officer dinardo and officer comacho were struck seriously with dinardo being gravely injured. i'm proud of my does not and i'm proud of the port authority department because what i

watched unfold over the next 2 1/2 minutes is that at that particular moment in time, they had to extricate the injured officers. within 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, they've got two injured officers carried downstairs on a stretcher and re-entering to make sure they could subdue these subjects. approximately at 6:48, the call came over that the apartment was all secured and that the threat had been neutralized. both actor and actress were now doa from gunshot wounds sustained during the entry. i am happy to report that a few minutes ago the superintendent and state police were inside visiting the officer and his family. >> all right. we started the press conference right here in front of the mayor, healy, who says he was able to touch base with president obama who, obviously, sent his best wishes. they even got him to talking about the dangerous weapons on the street. he really kind of poured his heart out to the president about

what his frustrations were to try to get his officers some help. >> i was just at a conference of mayors on violent crime back in the spring. and this was one of the issues that came up. in fact, it was two weeks before -- back in the fall -- two weeks before they announced that biden was going to be vice president, and he was talking about this again in the crimes bill. it's a concern of police chiefs and mayors across the country because of weapons like this and also the assault weapons. we're listening to now chief tom comey giving us kind of a tick-tock of how this played out. the way this all started, this vehicle they had their eye on -- you said this before -- was a vehicle they've had their eye on since last week. >> exactly. >> because it was connected to a crime where someone had been killed. they knew that the routine of this vehicle, whoever was tied to it, had been moving this vehicle -- this is how much they had it under surveillance. they had been moving it twice a day. get me up to speed. >> new york and new jersey, and

jersey city, you'll have opposite sides of the street. you'll be able to park on one side of the street during certain hours up until 6:00 and you have to have it moved on other days because of the street sweeper. so they knew it had been moved from tips they had been receiving after they showed the description of these two from video they had from the scene of that particular robbery last week. >> so they knew what time they were going to try to apprehend these people. but what happened, what threw this off, is they -- they went out 30 minutes sooner than what their routine had been. >> exactly. >> to move this car. and then basically that's when all heck broke loose. >> you had the lieutenant and detective from the major case squad. they were just sitting on the car. they were going to get a team together from the unit to take these people down when they came out to make sure something like this wouldn't happen. but, you know how things go. you know, the best laid plans of mice and men, these people came out early and they had to take action. they weren't going to let them drive away. that's when they decided to confront them and when the shootout occurred. >> we want to make sure people

know that out of the five officers we've been saying were injured, three were grazed, two were in critical. one of them they thought was mormgtsly wounded. they thought he died. he flatlined. >> shot in the face twice. comacho has been upgraded from critical to stable. >> thank you. appreciate it. that's good news on how those officers are doing. >> it is. we also have new details on the florida couple byrd and melanie billings who adopted at least a dozen children with special needs. there was a news conference in this today as well. and state attorney bill eddins said the eighth suspect, this woman, pamela long wiggins, had been arrested and charged with accessly after the fact. she is now free on bond. the couple was arrested last week and was killed last week. investigators believe it was a home invasion robbery. eddins also said investigators have found some key evidence in this crime. >> we have located evidence, valuable evidence.

we have located the safe. the safe is being processed at this time. the safe is being processed at this time. we have located several guns in various locations, one of which we believe is the murder weapon. we believe. it has not been processed yet. morgan says he's accepting help from several law enforcement agencies. >> the dea is providing investigative assistance at the request of the escambia county sheriff's office. no additional information is being provided at this time. that's a statement from the dea. now, to put that in context is the dea was called in on the suspects in this crime to assist us in that area. the individuals that are currently incarcerated. so they're assisting us in any area that develop from that. and additionally, i will restate, which i believe i stated numerous times last night, that the billings family, to the best of my knowledge, is

not the focus of any investigation by the dea. and i'm not sure where that may have started, but please today let us put that to rest. >> also several of the billings' children were home during this attack. authorities say three of them may have seen the intruders. the fbi has detained a man in connection with the death of his wife during a domestic dispute on a cruise to baja, california. the man being questioned is on the carnival "elation." the ship returned to san diego this morning. carnival says it will assist the fbi in its investigation, and it's offering assistance to the victim's family. the stage being built for madonna's concert this weekend collapsed, killing one worker. it happened at a stadium in the south of france. six other workers were hurt. and officials say the roof was about two-thirds complete when it just started collapsing, gradually on top of the workers. madonna was in italy when this happened. she says she's devastated.

this is her statement. my prayers go out to those who were injured and their families along with my deepest sympathy to all those affected by this heartbreaking news. as for the concert, it has been canceled for sunday. one out-of-work military vet didn't let her situation stop her from pursuing one of her dreams. susan candiotti has this story in this week's "money & main street." >> reporter: in the eight years since she retired from the air force, lori lawrence has had three different jobs. she quit one and was laid off twice. after the last layoff in february, she started rethinking her options. >> i started thinking, i'm tired of going through this. what would i really enjoy? >> reporter: though her aging husky, cody, is too old to need much grooming anymore, cody inspired her to set her sights on opening a dog grooming business in the upscale atlanta suburb of peach tree city. but money was tight so she swallowed her pride and opened a fruit stand.

>> it is not doing anything like what i had hoped that it would do, but it's more money than i had last week. >> reporter: fruit is only bringing in a few hundred dollars a week. compared to that, dog grooming looks like a gold mine. >> people spent $42 billion last year on their pets alone. you know, it's there. how do i -- how do i get in? i want in, you know? >> reporter: lori attended a number of spa seminars and googled business plans of other start-ups, then drafted her own. small business experts danny badd and john rutledge offered to take a look. >> she has a specific idea in her head about what this is going to look like and what the consumer is going to walk away. >> reporter: john and dani helped her reduce her start-up costs from $147,000 to just $35,000. they showed her how to save money on labor and equipment. they suggested she look for free advice online instead of hiring an attorney and cpa. and they're helping her

negotiate a better lease in the down-and-out commercial real estate market. >> in your plan, you have also things like pet sitting, dog taxi. >> mm-hmm. >> retail, a bakery, all those things ways of adding more revenues on just the basic wash your dog. >> reporter: for the time being, dog washing is all lori offers, but she hopes to be providing the pampered pooches in her area a full range of services by the end of next month. susan candiotti, cnn. úppñ

against in a reverse discrimination case, they also had a chance to have their say. you remember last year, a three-judge panel that included sotomayor upheld a judgment against the firefighters in new haven, connecticut. in new have connecticut. that decision was later overturned by the supreme court. at one point today gop committee member admitted he was frustrated with some of sotomayor's testimony. >> and senator finestine said, you have come a long way, you have worked very hard, you have earned the respect of ken starr, and i would like to put his statement in the record, and you have said some things that just bug the hell out of me. the last question on the, why a latino woman come in. for those who may be po therd by that, what do you say? >> i regret that i have offended

some people. i believe that my life demonstrates that that was not my intent to leave the impression that some have taken from my words. >> you know what, judge, i agree with you. good luck. >> after her testimony, the judiciary committee's ranking republican, senator jeff sessions, said he wasn't fully convinced by her testimony. but he said there will be not a floor. a class-action lawsuit gop filibuster when her nomination reaches the senate against toys "r" us are accused of conspireing to fix prices on a long list of goods, as well as strollers, high chairs and car seats. two years ago the supreme courtx ruled minimum price agreements are not in and of themselves illegal. first it was president obama's pitch at the all-star
