5:02 pm
zero tolerance order that night against anyone leading what they called a riot. >> he wasn't leading it whatsoever. >> reporter: outside court a witness nathan cole said he took his own cell phone video of the incident and remained stunned more than two years later. >> i tell you i lost days of supreme over it. i really did. it really -- sleep over it. i really did. it really bother med. >> reporter: cole said mckenna was fist pumping on the sidewalk in a goofy display of celebration and on a cell phone video cole took jurors heard mckenna singing the notre dame fight song. >> even though they tried to say he was doing this and that could be a threatening manner, any reasonable person can tell that's absolutely ridiculous. >> reporter: but the defense lawyer called mckenna yippy skippy arguing the student approached police horses with clenched fists and that the video showed mckenna as an aggressive agitator charging the police line in the midst of
5:03 pm
the riot. many of the blows were struck to force mckenna to show his hands after being taken down in a display of by the books police tactics brennan said and the attorneys want the jury to know the context of the night. the police had been there more than an hour trying to clear route 1 and knox road? n college park and ha they'd been giving command -- that they'd been giving commands there. had been a lot of confrontation that evening, but mckenna's friends said he came from a completely different direction and had no idea the police were even on the streets in the midst of what they believe was a celebration until mckenna literally ran into them. the trial continues tomorrow. scoot broom, 9 -- scott broom, 9 news now. just one day after rg3 just ran crazy all over the minnesota vikings everybody still talking about his three touchdown performance in front of the home fans at rfk stadium or should i say fedex field. forgive me. kristen berset is here with
5:04 pm
what mike shanahan had to say about his rookie quarterback. i'm sure he was downplaying it at all. >> if rg3 felt any ill effects from his concussion, he didn't show any signs yesterday. in fact, rg3 gave one of the most electrifying performances this area has seen on the gridiron in a very long time. not one, not two but three touchdowns for rg3 including this 76-yarder that sealed the deal for the skins. now it's not too often you see a quarterback outrun all the defenders. look at them looking back there. you are not catching him. the vikings held running back alfred morris to under 100 yards, but they had problems containing rg3. in all 13 carries, 138 yards for the quarterback. mike shanahan says the skills of his rookie will constantly give them the edge. >> people have to account for a quarterback where you put him in a number of different positions it will present problems for a defense and if you always know where a
5:05 pm
quarterback's at, obviously you can isolate them in that one position. if a quarterback is able to roll out, possibly run an option, drop back passing game, then there's some question where he'll be, then it's advantageous to the offense. >> most definitely. this is one play, one performance that won't be forgotten any time soon. coming up a little later in sports we take a depth look at how this one run is captivating a team and its city. >> i thought it might be captivating mike shanahan enough to get him to smile or something, but apparently not in the cards this time. that is okay. thank you. when rg3 broke loose and ran for that touchdown and then leaped into the stands yesterday at fedex, he leapt into the arms of the jones family of owings mills. that whole thing was captured on national television and our own bruce johnson tracked them down today to find out how their lives were affected by becoming the center of so much attention. >> like a lot of people, you see this shot and you say i wonder if near all related. they are.
5:06 pm
-- they're all related. they are. like a lot of us, they were waiting for something to cheer about at these home games. >> rg3 is going to outrace everybody! >> when rg3 took off toward the end zone sunday to seal the team's first home victory in a year, the jones family was waiting with their arms stretched out to meet him. >> all i could think of was he's coming right at us. we're going to get him. >> what else could rg3 do for a town still sulking from the nationals defeat friday. how about alam bow style leap into the stands. >> -- a lambeau style leap into the stands? >> we didn't say a word. he leaped up and pushed us completely back and i was just completely covered. >> reporter: it's the jones family owings maryland in calvert county all over rg3. >> she started hyperventilating. i thought she was going to pass now. >> reporter: he sat down with the couple and the two
5:07 pm
daughters at the family business in upper marlboro. >> facebook, twitter, instagram, anything you can think of. >> reporter: they're season ticket holders dating back to the super bowl years and before at rfk stadium. sunday football is almost a religion to this family. phyllis caught the kickoff ball during sunday's contest. one of the girls was proposed to during another game. >> it landed at my feet. >> reporter: now they're getting all kinds of offers for the end zone seats at fedex. the belief is rg3 will be making more appearances in the area real soon. how much for those seat snaps would you take to be willing to part with those -- seats? how much would you take to be willing to part with those seats? >> no way. >> i'm a businessman. i tried that this summer and i think the price of poker just went up after yesterday.
5:08 pm
>> phil says he lives in a house with all women. he doesn't have any say in this matter. he has 10 seats to redskins home game and they're predicting this team can go to the playoffs this year. >> rg3 says they were holding him back. he was trying to jump out of of the stands, but they wouldn't let him go. did they mention that? >> they mentioned the fact they may have given the redskins the idea of doing the lambeau leap because they had mentioned it to chris cooley at one time and tyler said oh, we're redskins, we don't do that kind of thing. well, with rg3, apparently we will do it and hopefully often. >> we'd like to see that again. it was a wet day all day across our area. meteorologist topper shutt is in the weather center with tonight's forecast. hey, top. >> we're tracking some showers and believe it or not, lesli, a couple thunderstorms. let's start with radar. there's activity west of town headed for fauquier county north of warrenton and another heavier storm moving into howard county. that's about to cross route 32, about to cross 29 and 95 in
5:09 pm

5:11 pm
their unit was damaged. katrina woods says store all employees told her her building was not affected. >> i just said we want to run by and make sure it's not our storage holding my breath making sure. we'd like to know what happened. >> reporter: fire officials say the walls don't always go up to the creel, so there's a gap that al -- ceiling, so there's a gap that allowed the fire to jump from one unit to another, so there's lots of damage. the big question is what caused this fire. officials are still investigating. >> so much merchandise lost. thank you. coming up whatever happened to those nine pitbull thieves in that high profile raid in our area last month? the oldest dog may be available for adoption and soon. >> reporter: the teenage girl the taliban tried to murder arrived here in the united kingdom for specialized treatment.

5:16 pm
taliban scare them. taliban commanders in the valley where malala studied ordered all girls schools to close three years ago. malala launched a public complaint to keep them open and won awards for her bravery. that's why the taliban fighters claim they shot her and say they will try to kill her again if she recovers. >> the pakistani government has not publicly condemned the taliban. many are calling on pakistan's military to intensify their fight against the extremist group. the captain at the center of the costa concordia cruise ship tragedy appeared in court for a pretrial hearing today in italy. captain francesco was at the helm when that ship slammed into the pox off the mediterranean island -- rocks off the mediterranean island january 13th. the hearing focuses on evidence taken from the black box data recorder. a judge will then decide whether the captain should be charged with manslaughter. there were actually two records set yesterday when

5:28 pm
we continue to track a story we brought you only on 9 last month. authorities in the alexandria section of fairfax county seized nine dogs from a suspected dogfighting operation. our andrea mccarren returned to alexandria today and is here to give us an update, hopefully a good one. >> well, charges are still pending in the case, but today we had the chance to meet with one of the pitbulls rescued from that suspected dogfighting ring and learn about a system that failed him.
5:29 pm
>> reporter: this is popeye the pitbull, almost 14 years old and a veteran dogfighter. remarkably at least five different veterinarians treated his injuries over the years, yet none of them contacted authorities to report he was potentially being used to fight. >> a lot of them like popeye has got, you know, pieces missing from his ear or tongue. he has large scars on his body. so these are some of the telltale signs. >> reporter: popeye was the oldest of nine dogs seized last month from a home in the alexandria section of fairfax county. since fighting dogs are a significant investment, it's not unusual that their owners seek top notch veterinary care. >> they will spare no expense. they will take them to some of the best known veterinarians in the area. it's not always underground vets or at home remedies. >> i was shocked to learn that
5:30 pm
they looked at him multiple times and this was multiple vets and none of them picked up the phone to call authorities whether it be their police department, humane society, united states or their local animal control. >> veterinarians are really the voice for these animals that are abused and neglected that can't speak for themselves and they should be aware of the warning signs. >> you's a good boy. >> reporter: humans failed popeye until now. his sweet disposition won the hearts of animal control officers who are now helping to care for him at the alexandria shelter. the law varies from state to state, but in virginia veterinarians are required to report suspected abuse or neglect. while the other eight dogs seized remain in the care of fairfax county, popeye is actually expected to be available for adoption within the next few weeks. he will obviously need a very special home and an owner who can give him the care and attention he didn't have for most of his life. >> as you said, the system
5:31 pm
failed at least in this case. thank you. in tonight's consumer alert a bank breach that could compact you and a cell phone mega deal, but first we go to the kitchen to talk about the peanut butter recall that continues to expand. so far 240 items are part of this salmonella investigation and today raw and roasted peanuts made by sunland, inc. are also included. sunland is the company linked to that multi-state outbreak of salmonella across the country. now if you've got a product in your home that's not made by sunland and none of these are, chances are they are safe, but you're going to want to keep watching our consumer segments because one of the challenges with this recall is the fact that a lot of companies use sunland products in their products and so this recall expands as they begin to pull their items off shelves and off the market just to be safe. there are a couple recalls that occurred just today. you can find out about those
5:32 pm
and see the full list of the items recalled on our website www.wusa9.com. the nation's third largest cell phone company is about to make major move. sprint nextel agreed to a $20.1 billion deal with japan's soft bank. it will give sprint an immediate cash infusion to help modernize its network, improve 3g coverage and fund the rollout of a 4g network and that could be a significant benefit to subscribers. customers of td bank want to keep a closer eye on their accounts. the financial institution says more than 260,000 of them may have been affected by a data breach. the bank says it misplaced some backup tapes that contain customers' names, addresses, social security and account numbers. td bank has not received reports of customer information being compromised, but check your statement and credit report just to be safe. safeway, quiznos, even kiosks in restaurants and major

5:47 pm
soothing. >> this is a total paradigm shift in the treatment of dry eye. there's never been anything like it for this particular problem which is the major cause of dry eye. >> reporter: feeling the major benefits can take two to four weeks. it took about three weeks for beth to feel lasting relief. in general, what is the feeling of your eyes now? >> more moist, just not feeling like they're dry and tired. i'm not aware of my eyes as muchs a was before. >> so -- much as i was before. >> that treatment there with the clasps on the eyes lasts about 12 minutes. patients follow up with a doctor in a month. balls it's so new it is not covered by insurance -- because it's so new it is not covered by insurance and the procedure costs about $1,700. seven in 10 arlington residents hold at least bachelors degrees and that is one of the reasons reader's digest magazine calls it the second smartest and sharpest city in the nation. the survey looked at education levels, eating and exercise
