navy investigators declined to speculate on what might have caused the crash. but with scores of navy jets flying almost constantly over heavily populated virginia beach, the mayor says this has long been one of his worst nightmares. >> i'm afraid every -- i pray every day that it doesn't happen but it has. >> reporter: the latest count has rescuers rushing seven people to the hospital. one of the naval aviators is in good condition, the other in fair condition. two civilians suffered from smoke inhalation. one police officer was hart, but again, none of those injuries apparently are life threatening. firefighters say that the crash destroyed three apartment buildings and damaged two more. back to you in the studio. >> that could have been much worse. thanks for your report. the nation's unemployment rate is now at its low st level since january 2009. but if we look inside the

report we see there is mixed news for our economy. officially unemployment now sits at 8.2%. that's a drop from last month. but only because fewer people are out there looking for work. employers did add120,000 new jobs in march but that is down from the previous three months in which they added more than 200,000. now both parties are flying spin game. >> it's clear to every american that there will still be ups and downs along the way and that we've got a lot more work to do. >> they want to see a real change and someone leading the country who understands how the economy works so we can get the economy working for the american people. >> jobs added last month came in manufacturing, food service, and healthcare, but the number of positions in retail and temp work were both down. >> despite a maryland attorney general's opinion that says eve got the right to record police doing their jobs in public, we have some new evidence tonight that not all the officers have

gotten that message. 9news now has uncovered an encounter with prince george's county police in college park. it happened yesterday when an officer claimed police rights were being violated by a woman with an iphone. scott broom investigates in a story you will only see on 9. >> my neighbor's house was surrounded by police so i walked out to record what was happening. >> reporter: this woman is a retired journalist who took to the street in front of her house. >> they came with guns drawn. >> reporter: when police add neighbor in handcuffs. this is the video of the incident kim took with her iphone showing at least eight officers from prince george's county at the scene. we've agreed not to identify the neighbor because he was not charged. it's video as lucy and hear that police objected to. >> i need you to stop recording. >> it's perfectly legal to record. >> reporter: moments later the female prince george's county police officer approaches kim. >> there is absolutely nothing illegal.

>> but you are violating a police officer's right. i'm asking you not to record. >> reporter: as kim showed me where she stood she explained why she wanted it on video. >> there was a mistaken police report about him, and he's the sweetest guy on earth and i couldn't imagine that he had done anything that warranted that, and i was concerned for his safety, because mistakes happen. they used to say when we were growing up don't say anything that you don't want to see printed on the front page of the paper. and now it's like that you don't want 20 million people seeing on youtube. >> reporter: there have been a number of disputes like this in maryland because of the state's unique wiretapping law but the attorney general has issued an opinion that it is legal for citizens to videotape police in public doing their jobs. and so far, the courts have been agreeing with him. in college park, scott broom, 9news now. >> prince george's county police released a statement late this afternoon saying we recognize and support a citizens right to landfallly

record our officers performing their public duties. if there is a reason to believe it didn't occur we will immediately look into the facts of the case and act accordingly. some surprising reaction from an asian american business owner about marion barry's racially charged comments about asian businesses. he made those comments after he won the 234078 nation tuesday night. he was caught on tape saying, quote, we've got cue something about these asians coming in opening up businesses and dirty shops. they ought to go. but we need african-american business people to be able to take their places, too. here's reaction. >> reporter: council member barry says he was referring to restaurants like king city carry-out here on mlk avenue with its bars on the window and bulletproof glass at the counter. he says they're actually hurting the community. >> i can understand where he is coming from. >> reporter: this woman and her

husband are the new owners of the restaurant. she didn't want to show her face but says the comments were insensitive. >> they don't want to take care of their business places, nice and clean, and they just want to make money. >> reporter: just hours after the primary win, barry said, quote, we've got do something about these asians coming in opening up businesses, dirty shops. they ought to go i'll tell you. after public outrage barry apologized and tried to explain. >> don't hire anybody from the community, don't participate. >> i think they should give back, but he could have set in a bert fashion. >> reporter: all the employees at sonny's live in the neighborhood. in fact, when they bought the store there were no lights no, ceiling, the liquor stored away. now the store is bright and there's merchandise on the shelf. the next project, getting rid of the bulletproof glass.

now, it's been caught early, and her prognosis isg as jc describes it, this news is not the end just the beginning of a new journey. she's asked her long time friend and colleague andrea roane to share this journey with her. andrea has been with jc all day, been at doctors appointments all day. how is she dismoog. >> she's doing fine. she's jc heyward, you know. this is a very personal disease but no one is more of a public figure than our jc heyward so she wanted to be very public about her breast cancer so she can help other women. nearly one in eight american women will develop invasive breast cancer. now our beloved jc is one of these we haven't the rates have been decrease primarily because of treatment advances, early detection through screening and increased "awareness." so when jc got the stunning diagnosis her first thought was of her television family. >> i need to share something that's very personal and private with most people, but i

want to share it with you because i feel you are my friends and my fans. on wednesday i was diagnosed with breast cancer. and i need you. i need your pray, i need your support, and i need your love. and the first person that i told, because i was going to keep this a secret, not share with it anyone, was my good friend and colleague andrea roane who has been fronting buddy check 9 for almost 20 years. she convinced me, you know what, this is a good thing for you to shairt, because maybe you can help someone else. and the reason why i'm saying this publicly is for two reasons, andrea. number one, i want women to make sure they get their mammogram. and number two, i want them to do their monthly self-breast examination, because that's how i found my nodule. i was on vacation in south america and felt a lump and said, uh-oh this is not good. and somehow i kind of knew. >> this is a nice thing you're

doing, but this is about you, and you're number one. so why is it so important to share this with other women and men? >> let me tell you why i'm sharing it, because there may bea woman out there listen whewing has not gotten a mammogram, and she needs to. there may bea woman out there who is going to be going through the same thing that i'm going through, and if she knows that she has a companion like me that's going through it, that it might make it just a little bit easier for her, and then it's always great to have the prayers of friends and fans and the support that helps lift you up. so that's why i'm telling it. >> your friends were with you this morning. you went to get an mri. >> let me tell you. the first nodule that was found on wednesday that was confirmed to be cancerous, she thought was 1.3 centimeters. it's larger. it's 2.2. but it was caught very early. but because i had this mri

today at sibly hospital, and i can't say enough about them, they found another one, a second nodule. so it's so important for you to have the testing, and to get to the quickly. so i have to go back this afternoon, and have another biopsy. i had already one for the first nodule. i have to have another one for the second. then on monday my surgeon, he will sit down with me and we'll talk about what cities. by the way, i want you to join me. i need you to join me on this journey to let people know, you know what, i'm going to be all right with your help, and i've got the best persons andrea, walking me through. this we're going to take this journey together, and i want you to come along with me, and we're going to be just fine. >> so that's jc. >> that's jc. >> quintessential jc. >> absolutely. breast cancer is not just one

disease what. jc has is something called invasive duck tore carcinoma. it's infiltrating dorks infiltrate -- infiltrating ductocarcinoma. it is the most common and she did catch it early. her doctor wanted her to come back for this additional testing, and that test this afternoon was called ultrasound guided core biopsy to look at this lesion that she saw. and the doctor described the lesion as being about the size of -- very. >> jc thought she was just going look at. she said, no, aim going take it out. so we see all of. that the pathologist will look at that and they should have the results by the time jc has her meeting monday morning with dr. collette magnet who is her breast surgeon at sibly. i and her other buddy deborah

herring will be there to hold hands to support her, and above all, patient navigator jenny said the most important thing a buddy has to do for someone going through this is take notes, because you don't remember. there's so much information coming, and with the new technology, deborah was writing, i had my ipad, and i was filming everything. and it's important, and jc beliefs this is important, because she didn't have to tell you about this now. we could have waited. >> absolutely. >> but she felt it was important. >> and these steps that you're describing now are steps that other women hopefully, if they're hearing about this and they have concerns, can do the same thing, because as you said, early detection is the best way to handle this. now, you know jc heyward has spent 40 years on the air in washington, and you know, like we know, it means a whole lot to her to have you respond with love and support, because she really thinks of all of you as her very, very close friends,

and andrea, of course, as soon as jc made this announcement, her facebook page, our facebook page was flooded with comments. and we thought we would share just a few that people have sent. derkz na writes, hug you from afar, i love you, jc. andrea claire says, with your positive attitude if anyone can beat cancer you most certainly can. and sheila boyles writes, never loose faith, j crrks and let the lord hold your hand while you are on this journey. and if you know anything about jc, you know she is a woman of strong faith, she is a believer, and, of course, you are very known for your passionate reports about breast cancer. you've been doing this for 20 years. jc credits you with having taught her something that hopefully has saved her life. >> she's like a lot of women. you can teach them, but eve got to keep reinforcing. that and she would be the first to say, you know, she wasn't annual with the mammograms, but

what she heard today does reinforce the importance of early detection. and that's what buddy check is about, and we're her buddies. and all of her buddies, you were there, the women of channel 9, plus her extended -- this woman has a posse of friends that are not to be believed. they include doctors and everything. so she is in good hands, and all i can say, just listen to your buddy. and be a buddy to somebody else, like jc. >> absolutely. andrea, thank you for being her buddy and walking this journey with her. if anyone has to walk along with her, we were so glad it's you. >> glad i can be there for her. >> if you want to learn more about buddy check 9 go to our website, wusa9.com. while you are there you can click on the story about jc. send her your good wishes. she really does appreciate them.

did you know that in d.c. you can get your driver's license revoked just going 13 miles per hour over the limit? it's true. a woman was charge weed reckless driving and now she is four days away from losing her d.c. driver's license. kristen fisher caught up with her today. i'm a little flabber governmented. how is this possible? >> it's crazy. who isn't guilty of going just 10 miles per hour over the

speed limit. i know i'm guilty of. this but the problem here is that this woman got the ticket in virginia, but she has a d.c. driver's license. and a charge of reckless driving in d.c. is treated very differently than a charge in virginia. it's a small discrepancy but it's one that could cost this woman her license. >> this is the citation i received, reckless driving, 1 3 in a 70. there was no accident, there was no swerving, there was no alcohol. >> reporter: heather can hardly believe what's happening. >> i have a clean driving record. i have never been in trouble with the law before. i've never been arrested. >> reporter: she's already paid a $219 fine, but now she's about to lose her license. >> this is the letter that i receive freed the district of columbia, department of motor vehicles, the official order of revocation notice. >> reporter: the charge, reckless driving. in d.c. it's 12 points against your license, an automatic revocation. it's a serious offense, usually

involving an accident. but in virginia, reckless driving is defined as anything over 80 miles per hour. only a six-point violation. >> when i took the crielt taigs to the dmv and showed to the them and said, the reality of this is i was going 93 in a 70, they said, yes, that's the reality, but it's not the law. the law does not reflect reality. if i had received this speeding ticket in d.c. it would have been the equivalent of three points, not the 12 that i've been assigned. >> reporter: heather and her husband are now fighting it with all they have. they've made three trips to the dmv and they've appealed to their d.c. council woman but their insurance has been canceled and now health ser four days away from losing her license. >> i took this week off of work to spend spring break with my husband and i spent four of the five days that i've been off of work trying to get an answer from the department of motor vehicles. >> reporter: i've also tried getting some answers from the dmv. so far they have not responded.

derek, at the end of the day all she wants is a fair shake. she feels this is not fair. she just wants somebed at the dmv to listen to her story and see if they can resolve something that mate involve a bit more common sense. >> she's willing to pay the price for her crime and misdeed, but this price seems high. >> absolutely. >> thank you, kristen. >> back to you. in a couple of hours the jewish holiday of passover begins. it starts at sundown and celebrates the ancient israelites being freed from slavery in egypt. traditionally families hold a satar. passover is known as the time when jews do not eat leavened bread. passover ends april 14th. today also marks the crisp holiday of good friday. churches all over the area held services to commemorate the day. at metropolitan ame church preachers took to talking about
