and went into the creek. when he jumped into the creek, he put his hit over there. >> reporter: the big question here is still how could it happen? well, working theory is that he did not realize there was a big gap. when he jumped over the guardrail, he likely thought he would land on cement. >> we got it, an unconscious man lying in the river. >> reporter: rescuers rushed to the scene to try to save one of their own. the 7-year veteran of the department. >> i started crying. i saw the ems guy working with their buddy there for a quick 20 to 30 minutes. i hope he's all right. i don't know if he made it or not. >> reporter: and that is the question that everybody is waiting to hear tonight. we are outside fire house 6. the fire house here because we're waiting for the press conference with the fire chief who is expected to be here in about 15 minutes. we're hoping to find out more on his condition and more about

teacher has now been charged with having a sexual relationship for more than a year with a student who was 16 when the relationship began in the fall of 2010. >> reporter: the teacher did confess to the relationship. >> reporter: cops say that campbell and the students had sex numerous times in the montgomery county park. >> reporter: this occurred in her vehicle. >> reporter: school administrators notified them of that after receiving an anonymous e-mail about it last friday while the parents were notified earlier today. >> it's disgusting. >> reporter: she seemed natural. she is a nice person. i mean, i'm just shocked. >> reporter: ashley campbell was arrested earlier this morning charged of two counts of sexual abuse with the minor. she is no longer a teacher here. >> all right, thank you, matt. well, prosecutors at the uva lacrosse murder trial took a step by step view to save that woman's life.

and the lawyers tried to convince the jurors that the horrible bruising on yardly love's body was caused by medics trying to resuscitate her. we hear that love's mom was just in tears. >> reporter: yeah, the pictures were gruesome and love's family members were crying, but i'll tell you even more shocking perhaps was this description of an incident a couple months before he was accused of killing her. a friend came in here and testified that he was at a party hearing a woman's voice screaming help me, help me. he burst into his room and he says there he saw him with his arm wrapped around love's neck. he took his arm and wrapped it around the prosecutor's neck to show the jurors what it looked like. when he came in, he let go of

yardly, she jumped up and ran out crying historically saying i can't breathe, i can't breathe. >> reporter: they insist that nothing he did to yardly love that night just before the graduation was violent enough to kill her. but the first officer who responded to a desperate 911 call from her roommate knew almost immediately that this was an alcohol overdose. that her mouth was caked with blood, her right eye was bruised purple and swollen shut. >> how are you doing, detective sergeant? >> doing good. >> reporter: they told jurors that love was obviously the victim of some kind of violence. that there was a large discolored area on the right side of her face that was an obvious abrasion on her neck and chin. and jurors heard from one of the emt's who said that they spent more than 24 minutes, desperately trying to breathe life back into her.

pumping hard on her chest about 100 times a minute to know effect. the lawyers asked the medics if all that cpr might have bruised her body and caused her to bleed even more. this is key to the defense case. the medics say while they thought it was possible for cpr to bruise someone, that he has never seen it and he says that he did not see it on yardly love. now the commonwealth attorneys showed the jurors those gruesome pictures of yardly love's face after her death. and to try to prove to them that when police and paramedics arrived, she was already bruised and battered, and nothing they did caused the situation to look even worse. derek, back to you. >> all right, bruce leshan, thank you. >> reporter: that is certainly putting a spotlight on the issue of dating violence. did you know that 40% of girls between the ages of 14 and 17

and just, you know, general fear that she missed him. >> reporter: it was an isolation. a classic sign of an abusive relationship. >> it is a design for you on the confidence for the girls to become dependent on the guy. and as he takes away her own self-esteem. >> reporter: she realized that she was not alone. when another mother called, telling her about her daughter who had also been killed by a violent boyfriend. now, this calendar depicts several young women who met the same fate. she decided she had to do something to save others, so they started this website, dash, dating abuse stops now. >> we would just realize the more she was in danger that these steps of abuse were progressing to become, well, lethal. >> reporter: the website is full of information such as early warning signs of dating abuse. russell will be speaking tonight tonight about dating violence along with the social

worker here. >> some people do not know how to say i don't want to hurt their feelings or make them feel so bad. people threaten suicide. that is just a manipulation and abuse. >> reporter: they hope to save lives by giving them signs as to where to look for and what to do. for lynn, it's what her daughter would have wanted to do. >> i feel like it this is my work, not hers. i feel gooded by her. >> reporter: and now, the information, wear purple, ask me why. well, purple is the color for the awareness months. the dating abuse awareness month which is this month and tonight at mcclain high school. you can see them speak about this event, as to what happened and what to look for and learn all kinds of information that starts at 7:00. >> you talk about key things, there could be parents out there that have seen some of the warnings in their kids. >> yes, it's a pattern. it starts small, a little bit at a time, texting, controlling. kind of stalking. then it gets worse and worse and you really need to kind of

take it in the butt in the beginning. >> all right, thank you. a 15-year-old girl says she was sexually assaulted while trying to catch her bus yesterday morning. police say that the teen told them that she was walking near the intersection of fair lakes parkway at monument drive in fair oaks when a man started following her, making some sexual comments, then touched her inappropriately. the girl told investigators that she had seen that man before, hiding in the bushes near her bus stop. it's not often that a police officer pulls out his weapon, but it happened today and someone is dead. now, investigators say that the officers were responding to a report of a suspicious person, can had turned into an altercation. the officer opened fire and killed that person. now, we are still waiting to learn the names of both the officer and the person killed. virginia state police, they will be investigating the circumstances of this shooting. the officer has been placed on leave. and a terrible scene today in maryland. a deadly crash along route 301.

a flat bed truck collided with a car. the driver of that honda had to be pulled out of the wreckage and rushed to the hospital, but it was too late. she died from her injuries. the driver of the truck was unhurt. maryland state police are investigating. and grief counselors greeted students at park dale high school in prince george's county after a classmate was murdered last night. police say that the 19-year-old was shot by two masked men while just sitting out on the front porch of his home in river dale park. by the time the officers got there, he was able to make it back inside the house, but he died later on at the hospital. still ahead, a young girl uses her stranger danger training to get away from a man who tried to abduct her at a wal-mart store and it's all caught on tape. but coming up next, the government strikes a deal with lenders to help millions of people first by the housing market collapse.

it is being hailed as the largest deal to date aimed at helping nearly 2 million homeowners hurt by the melting area. they settled a loan with banks of -- bank of america, wells fargo, citi group and allied financial. homeowners that owe far more than what their home is worth to refinance at lower rates or reduce their debt. about $100 billion will go to 750 borrowers who lost their homes due to foreclosures between september of 2008 to the end of last year. it sets up a federal monitor to oversee the process in hopes of getting rid of all the red tape that derailed so many people seeking help to address the

housing crisis. and so what does if all -- does it all mean to you? scott broom crunches the numbers. before i go through those numbers, let me take you out here. now, this house, they sold in 2005 for $425,000, today it's on the market for just $249,000, a loss of 40%. that's how bad it is out there. they might offer as much as a $2,000 compensation to those who have already lost their homes. more importantly, folks who are under water on their homes, where this is common around here. perhaps that they owe about $300,000 on a house that is now only worth about $250,000. well, you know in this settlement, the banks are being encouraged to forgive some of the principal. in this case, let's say they knock off $50,000. if you renegotiate the loan, that could save your homeowner as much as $230 a month in

monthly payments. let's say they owe that $300,000 and they have a high interest loan at 7%, they can't get out of the loan, they cannot refinance in this settlement, the banks will be encouraged to refinance them at more like market rates. that might really be the difference between staying in the house or giving it up for foreclosure. now, these are hypothetical numbers. the bank has not said exactly how it will work. it will be more complex than this. you can see why today's news has raised a lot of hope. in the newsroom, scott broom, 9news now. >> all right, thank you. as a part of that settlement, they will get nearly $1 billion in relief. it is $470 million for virginia and $40 million for the district. now, you can start by contacting your bank and we'll have lengths to information for you and each states on our website, wusa9.com.

all times. >> we live in a world at a time when that is just not practical. but what is practical and what is important that parents, they will talk to their children about their safety. they need to give them the simple basic tools and the knowledge that they need and then practice what they teach. role play with your child. >> all right, so let's talk about some steps, some action steps that parents, they can take to teach their children how to protect themselves. >> well certainly one is to empower your child. teach them that they have the right to say no. all of us want them to be polite and respectful, but not at risk of their safety. and secondly, don't assume that just because you have talked to your child for 20 minutes once a year that they are going to know what to do when these things happen. and you've got to practice with them. you need to set up scenarios. what would you do if, and then i think the most important thing to say to your child, trust your instincts. if something is going on that does not feel right to you, say

no, get away from it, and tell mom or dad or some trusted adult. >> ernie allen, thanks so much for your time today. >> thank you, leslie. >> all right, now i have a couple of questions for all you parents out there. how would you feel if your daughter or son was raped? i know they are harsh questions, but it's a real possibility if your child is underraged and drinks alcohol. the center for disease control says that the younger children start to drink, the more likely that these tragedies are to happen. and yet, some parents out there have the attitude, no big deal that their kids were caught drinking afterall, kids will be kids, right? well no. 9 wants you to know that we're doing our part to help combat this problem. we also want to help all you parents out there. tonight at 11:00, i'll talk to the mom and dad whose 16-year- old daughter almost died from alcohol poisoning. she was a straight a student. her parents were oblivious to the whole thing, but they are not anymore. and they've got some strong words for the rest of you. wake up!

>> give your child privacy is crap because the privacy is killing them. >> reporter: the couple would have been tougher parents. >> i wish that i would have taken away her phone more often when she was asleep and read through all the text messages. because these kids are text messaging each other constantly about where they are going to drop the alcohol, the drugs off, are your parents home? >> reporter: and it is all unfolding in one of the nation's wealthiest areas. >> there is a disease of affluence. i mean to these kids, a hard day is not being able to go to a party. >> these parents also talk about the signs that they realize only in that view that their daughter was in trouble. in the meantime, montgomery lawmakers want to keep children out of tanning beds. that would ban anyone under the age of 18 from using a tanning bed. he was a colon cancer survivor and says that teenagers do not have the ware as to truly

consider the cancer risk. and that will be associated with the ultraviolet light. that would hurt their business. the proposal is sparking some heated debate on our wusa facebook page. i would heap that they would have more important -- hope that they would have more important things to worry about. sometimes you can't legislate everything. sometimes i wish they would put that information out there. who doesn't know the risk and to allow people to use their brain. she takes a different side. she writes, i clearly don't use tanning beds, but if they are that dangerous, why not ban them altogether? on the other hand, there are so many things that are good for us, leaving the parental consent seems like the best idea. but ron says to ban it. teenagers have no reason to tan. you cannot leave it to the responsibility of the parents because the teenagers will do whatever they want. it will make the businesses pay the fines. log on to our wusa9 facebook page and tell us what you

tonight. he and a 12-year-old friend decided to go joyriding in grandma's car. >> yeah. >> a cop with a camera got suspicious when the boy stopped at a green light and backed up when it turned red. >> he did lead police on a 30- minute chase driving through fields and front yards. >> the speeds were in excess of 80 miles per hour and on several occasions, the vehicle did leave the travel portion of the roadway and went up into private property into private residences, at one point striking a garage. >> the chase ended when the boy drove into a ditch, they both tried to get away, but they were captured. someone in iowa can get their first driver's license when they are just 14 1/2 years old. >> okay. it was not exactly a fiddler, but rather a car theft suspect on the roof and in the westwood section of l.a. today. in fact, he stayed up several hours, taunting the cops, looking for some kind of a way to escape. all a while, they were moving in. and they surrounded the house

and finally just after 4:00 p.m. our time, they stopped this guy with some sort of the non- lethal device and they took him into custody. >> what exactly makes you want to go on top of the roof? >> what exactly makes you think that's a good type of strategy on getting away? >> the taunting is not help. >> no, it's not helping your case either, buddy. >> no way. still ahead, the rumor that just won't seem to die. the latest on the possibility that mr. manning could be coming to washington. >> let's hope so. up next, another reason as to why you may want to stay away from drinking all that sugary soda. we'll be back with your health alert.

most rare and aggressive forms of breast cancer, but usually diagnosed in black women and in younger women. >> it is quite terrifying. >> prior to the surgery, she had several meetings with her medical team. one question that she had for them is what kind of anesthesia would she be getting. she had a wire localization, a biopsy. the anesthesia that doctors used were regional nerve blocks. he says that this technique offers several advantages to the breast cancer patients over the general anesthesia. >> and there is a decrease pain after the surgery. there is the decrease tumor recurrence with nerve blocks and also a decrease chance of chronic pain that sometimes, you know, happens with the breast surgeries a year after. >> the blocks allow them to just give you less medicine to give the anesthesia. in which, you know, prevents some of the toxic reactions. >> reporter: the breast surgeon doctor says that, you know,

less toxins mean less stress on the body, which could help reduce the risk of the recurrence. >> the regional anesthesia, they will be decreasing the bodies, the trauma response. so we think that if we keep the immune system up, then we will get a better chance of having a good outcome. >> i think that, you know, it is just wonderful. you know. it just makes it so much easier. >> she adds, ask your medical team before the surgery is scheduled if you could be a candidate for the regional nerve block anesthesia. you can learn more about all of this at buddy check at wusa9.com. >> oh man. it is going to be a little chilly this weekend. >> yes, change it on up. >> if you are changing up. you'll have the colder air coming in from canada and to allow them to bring in the colder air. now, with the cold air, you could have another shot at some wintery weather here. and now, i think late tomorrow night potentially. we'll start with the weather camera. we got blue skies on out there. just a few clouds. and the temperatures, they had be cooling down, getting up to upper 40s around town, now had

if peyton manning is going to be able to play in july, september, or another year from now because of the health issue. it reminds me of 1991, '92 with joe montana and the elbow situation. you just don't know how long it will take to get that guy healthy again. you don't know if it will be a real peyton manning. the nerves need to regenerate in their arm. >> all right, we've got both sides of the issues here. obviously we need to be waiting a little bit for them to get this to see what actually happens. but thank you so much for coming in today. grant paulson, we appreciate it. leslie, we'll send it back to -- lesli, we'll send it back to you. >> thank you. trying to keep millions of homeowners above water. a look at the massive settlement aimed at helping the housing crisis. republicans will be taking aim at the white house over birth control, but will the president back down? i'm danielle noddingham. i'll have the story coming up.
