. breaking news. a man crashes his suv into a building in downtown dc and police say it was intentional. that comment coming directly from the chief just a short time ago. the driver of that jeep liberty slammed into the ground floor of the washington square building. at 1050 connecticut avenue northwest. the driver suffered minor injuries and police say they have taken him to the hospital

for observation. nobody else was hurt. now, the fbi joint terrorism force task also responded to the incident. we're following breaking news where a family is accusing a family of beating a loved one to death right in front of their eyes, but they say a man attacked them. >> ken molestina is live. what is happening? >> reporter: well, there are two different stories here, and they're completely different. police say one thing, and as you would imagine, the family is saying something completely different. the man who did die in police custody, we know he is 38-year-old anthony chambers. but the details we've been able to gather are conflicting. >> they beat him to death. >> the police beat him like that. >> reporter: the chambers family was visibly upset blaming the cops for their uncle's death. they showed up to an apartment here on 50 p street southwest to assist workers from the department of mental health. at some point they came through the door of the apartment where 38-year-old anthony chambers was

at and a struggle ensued. >> he was beaten continuously. repeatedly hit on the head. >> reporter: the family says a group of officers pounced on chambers and began to beat him mercilessly. but police say it was chambers who hit four of them first. chambers is described as being at least 6 feet tall, weighing more than 300 pounds. neighbors who saw the commotion described what they saw when the unconscious 38-year-old was brought out of the apartment. >> once they brought him out, all i know is that i know that it wasn't no breathing because when you breathe, inhale, exhale, your chest goes up and down. your stomach has some type of movement. there wasn't none of that. >> reporter: he was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. now his family is left outraged demanding police give a thorough explanation of what happened here. >> they killed him for no reason. and now they're trying to cover themselves. >> reporter: the four officers who claim they were attacked by chambers have been placed on paid administrative leave as

this investigation continues. the family says they're a little confused about the entire involvement of the mental health department because according to them anthony chambers did not have any mental illnesses, so there is a lot of information that still needs to come. the family demanding a lot of answers. derek. >> ken molestina, thank you. former dc chair kwame brown is now a convicted felon, and today he went into a court to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of filing. >> i have made serious mistakes and i am taking full responsibility for those mistakes. >> it did not involve stealing any taxpayer dollars. brown did resign after being charged with the federal crime. he is scheduled for sentencing

september 20th. as a part of the plea deal, prosecutors will not be asking for jail time. immigration and customs enforcement agents arrest nearly 200 child important og rapher poor nothing raphers -- pornografrsgraphers >> what we do know about what case is very disturbing. for nearly a year, agents monitored the down loads from computers in this home in gainsville, virginia. this past may, a neighbor who asked not to be identified says agents raided the house in a neighborhood full of kids. >> they had vests, guns, badges hanging. >> reporter: according to the criminal complt , the 45-year-old suspect used the e donkey and e mule file sharing

network to download videos of pre-pubescent girls engaged in sex with adult males. >> they were carrying computers out of the home. >> reporter: agents say fish admitted to searching for files using the terms 5-year-old, 10-year-old, 12-year-old and pthc, which stands for preteen hard core. >> mr. fish was taken out in handcuffs. and then they hurried him out, put him in a car, whisked him away. >> reporter: neighbors haven't seen fish, a stay at home father of three young children, since the arrest. but we heard young children when we visited fish's home. operation orion netted a total of 190 suspected child pornographers. >> the common link here is the use of the internet,

acknowledged the internet makes -- and the internet makes the world a small place. >> reporter: and dangerous. >> and dangerous for small children. >> reporter: the number of victims could actually be in the hundreds and parents are told to warn their kids about online predators. >> thank you. a police officer has pleaded not guilty to murder. his name is daniel harmon-wright and he is accused of killing patricia cook last february. the prosecutors say harmon-wright shot cook seven times. the officer was acting in self-defense. today the judge granted harmon-wright bond with bail set at $100,000. today the rating agency that downgraded the country's long-term credit last year said it's going to stabbed by the decision. -- stand by the decision. last august they gave it an aa+ rating down from a triple a. the agency says political

leaders aren't addressing the federal debt burden. they went on to say the u.s. has an adaptable and resilient economy. an election year cannot be an excuse for congress not to pass measures that could put americans back to work. that is the message from president obama at a white house briefing about the economy today. mr. obama also said the economy in a private sector is doing just fine. a statement he later clarified. >> so let me be as clear as i can be. the economy needs to be strengthened. that's why i had a press conference. i believe that a lot of americans who are hurting right now. >> republicans on capitol hill say it's the president who is refusing to work with them. >> it is not because of house republicans. it's because of the failed stimulus policies and other items in his agendas. >> republican leaders say the house will vote next month to

extend bush tax cuts. the president wants to see those cuts expire for people making more than $250,000 a year. is the white house deliberately leaking secrets. president obama flat out denies the ac sayings calling the -- accusations calling the idea offensive. they are investigating where the leaks are coming from. ronald mason junior and ron bear leading the investigation. guess what, there are signs that el nino is forming again. topper remembers him. what is el nino. explain it to us. >> the good news is it's just sort of starting right here. let me show you some video of what happened back in '97, '87. it pounded the -- '97. it pounded the coast. '97, '98. it reeks havoc in southern california and deep south. it could be good news for texas.

if they get moisture, they don't want that much, but it gives you an idea what it will do. what is el nino? it's warming of the sea temperatures off the coast of south america. it really doesn't pick up until late fall and winter, but it's just beginning right now. the good news if it picks up quickly, it can actually have fewer hurricanes. so it can have a little bit of a benefit. what do we know about el nino? will it be strong? take a listen. >> the '97, '98 el nino was a monster. it's the largest on record. it's unlikely that this event would develop to such magnitude. but nature always surprises us. >> yes, that's the truth. now, what would it do? what are some of the effects? well, as we mentioned, an active southern jet stream. so the storm track is across southern california and across the deep south, which could be good news for texas. bad news for california. it could mean more rain or snow for the metro eyre yeah,

depending -- area, depending on how strong it is. if it's super strong, in '97, '98 we had 2-tenths of an inch of snow. if it's weak to moderate, we will have more snow. we'll come back and talk about the weekend and talk about the changes. >> thank you, top. if you think you've had a bad week, think of the week a 7-11 manager is having. he placed the deposit bag on the top of his car. he got behind the wheel and hit the road and the bag of cash was still on top. it fell off somewhere around i97. maryland state police are asking anybody who found some of the cash to please turn it in. we did speak with that poor 7-11 manager. he didn't want to be shown on camera, but here is what he said. >> i hope somebody will return to us. >> that's his livly hood. you have to bring it back. >> do you think they will?

>> i hope they will. >> well, state police say they hope they will too. and you can turn the money in no questions asked. there won't be another for i'll have another. the prize horse which won the kentucky derby is out for tomorrow's belmont. the reason, a swollen tendon. i'll have another's trainer confirmed he ran his last race. so they're going to have to wait for next year for the crown. those red light and speed cameras in the district generate a whopping $5 million for the city last year. some claim the cameras are just a cash grab for the district and not really about traffic safety. officials from triple-a say it may be time for a voter referendum on the issue. tonight a teenager on a religious mission is walking from saginaw, texas, all the way to washington. he's carrying a 12-foot cross. >> how are your feet feeling?

>> i feel good. >> how many blisters do you have? >> i have two. >> he hopes to arrive in front of the white house for prayer. still ahead tonight on 9 news. >> a scary e coli outbreak. we'll tell you what is being done to track down the source. also ahead, a health alert. so you want to have a baby later in life but not right now. there are options. we'll show you how egg freezing could be the

. our health alert tonight, the mystery continues as to what causing a scattered e coli breakout in the south. 14 illnesses have been tied to it so far, and a child died in new orleans last week. the cases are are scattered. they're in six different states and health officials are scrambling to find what is the common link until they figure it out. they're urging people to be extra vigilant about safe food handling practices, including making sure to cook all meat thoroughly. many women want to have children. just not right away.

now more of them faced with a ticking biological clock are choosing to freeze their eggs so they could have a baby later on. advances in the technology have made banking fertility more feasible. >> my little sleeping angel. >> reporter: susan always wanted to be a mom, but a few years ago she was worried it wouldn't happen. >> i was dating and things weren't working out. and i was feeling a lot of pressure. >> reporter: so at age 37, she decided to freeze her eggs. >> i felt like i wanted a little insurance policy so i could have a baby of my own. >> reporter: about 2,000 babies have been born from frozen eggs since the 1990s. >> there is so much water in the eggs. however, as we've gotten better at freezing technologies, we're able to freeze the egg and then thaw it and it comes out looking exactly like it came in.

>> reporter: recent studies show success rates are similar. while freezing technologies have improved, there's no guarantee it will work and it can cost thousands of dollars. >> if somebody has 10-12 eggs and they're young under 35, they still probably have a 50% chance of getting a baby. >> reporter: a short time after susanne froze her eggs, she found the right guy, got married and conceived the child. getting pregnant at 42 wasn't as easy, so she used her frozen eggs to have her second son. >> i don't know if i would have another child if i hadn't done this. i'm really glad i did it. >> now another group of women encouraged to consider freezing their eggs, those undergoing cancer treatment at a young age which could destroy their future fertility. so are dc speed cameras a good idea keeping us safe or merely a money pit draining our pocket. derek says they're both, and that's the problem.

>> whenever somebody moans about the proliferation about speed cameras, it's almost always the same. don't speed and you won't get a ticket. and, you know, it is hard to argue that it's okay to go 11 miles over the limit, which is a threshold for earning one of these auto citations. understand, this is the holy grail for dc government. it's a hefty tax that you can't really complain about. but leave it to our friends in government to take even a good thing too far. triple a now says the city has already raked in $40 million just this fiscal year in automated ticket finds and in their new budget they have doubled the number of cameras. and keep in mind, the robo cops will hit you up for $125 minimum. that is three times what they charge in montgomery county where speeders are just as deadly. now, police chief cathy lanier says it's all about slowing drivers down, not raking in the

money. but when the traffic slows down and the revenues dip, we get more speed cameras and higher fines. let's be real. right now the district has invested interest in two goals. the cops want to slow traffic while the politicians are interested in the easy money from speeders. sooner or later, folks, something has to give. most likely our patients. anita. >> we're talking about the cost of these tickets in the district versus montgomery county. >> yes. derek mentioned it. three times more expensive. >> three times. >> that does seem like a lot of cash. a great weekend, summer like weekend. hot tomorrow but not humid. a little more humid on sunday. let's start with a live look outside. high temperature 85 today. the second day this month we've been above average, but the low this morning was 60 which is below average. that's a nice tradeoff when the air mass is dry, it heats up quickly, dries off quickly. 74 right now. dew point 67. winds out of the south at 7 and

the pressure is steady 29.59 inches of mercury. here is the idea, we're looking at a summer like weekend. hot but not humid on saturday. now, hydrate and remember the sunscreen. because when the humidity is low, we feel comfortable when we're moving around. so if you have little league games, make sure the kids are hydrate and you have sunscreen on. this is the most intense sun we get this time of year. and more humid and hot again on sunday. not quite as comfortable on sunday. overnight clear skies, comfortable. 55-65. maybe the last night you can do this in awhile. by morning, mostly sunny and plez ants. 60s and 70s. -- pleasant. 60s and 70s. by noon, temps in the low 80s. air quality moderate. that's not bad. it may end up being good. by afternoon, mostly sunny, almost hot. high temperatures near 90 and winds westerly at 10. the westerly wind is not a humid wind. so it's great from the mountains to the coast. if you go across the divide,

only 77 in oakland. 85 in cumberland. mid 80s in hagerstown, martinsburg and winchester. warm spot culpeper 90. if you don't hit 90 tomorrow, you will on sunday and monday. fairfax probably 87 or 88 as well. now, downtown 89. approaching 90 into southern maryland and down towards southern maryland. as you get into the water, temperatures in the mid 80s. there is no winds. nothing to worry about if you are going to do some boating. all right. we'll break it down. 55-65 to start. 82-86 by noon and then 87-91 by evening. hot but not humid. now, the next three days, made some changes here. still green tomorrow. green on sunday. 90. we made monday code yellow. that hasn't changed. but we made it for a couple of different reasons. it's going to be hot. raise temps back to the low 90s and isolated thunderstorms are possible on monday. we will monitor that all weekend. next seven days, tuesday a thunderstorm possible as well. back in the 80s. real good chance for showers and

thunderstorms on wednesday with a cold front. and then we're back in the low to mid 80s on thursday and friday. you know, we talked about el nino. i don't know if you like anchovies on your pizza. but if it does develop, they'll be more expensive this fall. [ laughing ] >> el nino. what else does it do? >> unties your shoelaces. >> i am looking forward to the weekend. meanwhile, there is clearly a tremendous need to gamble. look at this. this is sky9 live over the line. the formation of all of those people out of -- outside maryland live. that megacasino. this just opened on wednesday. but still the first night there were people standing overnight to get in the next day and you still see the lines. >> a family that gambles together stays together. >> is that what they say. >> he is a fountain of wisdom tonight. he has something for the red sox tonight, and it was ugly. [ laughing ] >> boston red sox got a memo

from steven strasburg tonight. welcome to my gun show. how many strikeouts did boy wonder had. here is a hint. you need more than two hands to count them. and if you're going to run on a soccer field at fed ex, get your

. and now 9 sports with dave owens, the best sports in town. >> steven strasburg goes to boston. it sounds like a movie. sort of ironic, though. premiere pleasant day flame throwers visits the house of the best power pitcher of the previous area. talking about rogers clemons. legal troubles notwithstanding. take a look. there is the hurler right there. harper in the 4th. he rocked them. oh, oh, oh. uh-oh. there goes the hammer. [ laughing ] >> his 6th of the year. strasburg cruising to the 6th. he wins again. season high 19 pitches. nats win their first game ever at fenway park 7-4. good stuff. orioles with a tough one too.

phillies in town. 4th inning shane victoreno getting the ball to hawaii. that's a solo shot. orioles a game out after losing this one 9-6. derek mcginty is going to love this one. redskins players out in the community visiting various locations. today's stop in chantilly. the running back hung out with chris neil. but no matter where you go, no redskins can escape an rg3 question. a rookie was asked whether he gave griffin any advice on acclimating to the pro game? >> i can't give him much advice. i didn't have all of the pressure he has coming in. i came in. i just wanted to make the team. and he's got a whole city counting on him. and i can't imagine being in his position. but it shows that he's been doing a lot of the right things. >> he certainly has. also state semi the game of the week, baseball mcbraddic kck.

a long -- mcbraddick. a long fly ball. finally a soccer match at fed ex field. if you're a fan going on to the field, watch this cop. fly by. >> oh. >> that was like him coming off the corner hitting ely manning. >> take down. >> stay in the stands, my frie
