so far there is no information on a possible motive. chris johns lives at the intersection. he shot video of the gunman and even engaged him in conversation to try to get his attention and he join us from los angeles. thank pup what were you thinking at the time in first of all, what drew your attention in the noise? >> yeah. basically, i heard pop, pop, pop. you know, i heard the gunshots. so that kind of drew my attention. >> i looked at the video and you said, hey, over here. look over here. why were you -- why were you trying to get him to come? you were asking him to shoot at you. >> yeah. i thought that -- i made a calculate calculated, kind of comparison. i thought, if people down there at point blank range to the shooter were going to get shot, you know, they were kind of helpless to avoid being killed. you know, me, i'm four stories up, if i could take any of his attention and divert it towards me, any gunshots that he would shoot at me, i would have an opportunity to get out of way. so i thought, you know -- i don't know, i just made a calculation and i thought it was a good one that, any, any attention i could take away from the people on the street. put it on me, i could probably save my own life and save other people's in the process. >> it's unbelievable that nobody died in this, chris. you know, there were people injured. he was shooting point blank at cars and holding the gun -- explain to viewers how he was holding the gun? sort of hiding it until cars got right up on him. >> yeah. he was holding the gun kind of methodically and mechanically. kind of grazing around, looking for anything that was moving. you know, you could see the red car goes by. pop web shoots it. i'm screaming out anything can i. i told him that he was an angel sent from god to kill me. i said, that is what his mission was. i would stop at nothing to get his attention and get it towards me. luckily nobody died. i don't know if i could have done anything more. but i wasn't, at any moment, afraid of somehow being shot or killed or wounded. i just was worried about the people on the street. and i add much better opportunity to avoid death from my vantage point. >> he actually did engage you in conversation, even asking you for ammunition and deask you for another gun? no, he wanted you to call an ambulance and he is canning you for more ammo. >> yeah. i told him to kill me. i said, please, kill me right few, i'm prepared to die. i thought if i could engage him and at the same time, you know, make him feel like i wanted it die, kind of take his power away from him. somebody in that situation, they gain their power over people by, you know, they have a gun and they can take your life at any moment. >> he never told you why he was doing it, right? >> no, we didn't get, like, really deep. i was just saying crazy things and i wanted his attention. he didn't shoot any rounds at me. some of the people in the building are mad. like why are you trying to get us shot at. i said, if we were near the windows looking, we would have an opportunity to, if he is turning our way and pointing the gun at us to get out of the way. >> we are glad you're okay, chris. thank you. we appreciate you joining us, okay? >> police in south florida are investigating a shooting recorded on the victim's iphone. the victim is okay. but we want to warn you that what you are about to hear is very graphic. here is a recording.

>> well, today we have learned that the aau is supposed to release a new video statement, the new interim president, to release a new video statement. basically commenting, talking about these allegations of sexual abuse by its former ceo an president, robert bobby dodd. police confirm there is an active investigation into this. this basically came after two men shared their story with espn's outside the lines claiming that dodd sexually abused them in the late 80s. both men saying they decided to speck out after things happening that we have seen play out at penn state and syracuse university. one of the men spoke anonymously to espn but ralph west spoke publicly on camera, claiming he was sexually abused six times in the 1980s. just look at what he told outside the lines. >> i was dead asleep. and i don't remember anything but waking up and he has -- he is trying to put his hand in my boxer shorts. and i jumped up, straight out of bed, and he is not there, but he is laying on the floor next to me down by the bed. and you know, of course i was freaked out. >> how did he get in the room? >> he add key. he always somehow had a key to whatever room i was in. >> thp story, supposed to air on espn tomorrow, sunday at 10:00. clearly, this story creating a lot of sho shock waves here in the community. i got a statement from them claiming they do not know where dodd is at this point. they say that he is no longer the president. in fraact, they named a new president. they say that dodd was prepared to retire this month saying he is battling cancer. >> did these alleged incidents happen before or after dodd became head of the aau? >> well, it seems that dodd was also a coach, director rather, of the ymca here. that is apparently when things happened. according to the men in this espn report. but again, dodd has been head of the aau for a long time and at this point investigators just looking into his history. >> thank you, george howl. we appreciate it. the arab league will discuss the crisis in syria. new video underscores how time may be running out for pro democracy activists. >> the pictures you're looking at show a crowd bearing the body of a ten-year-old boy. protesters say he was killed by a sniper's bullet as he sat in a house. they carried limb to a graveyard where he received a hasty funeral. protesters warned that military surrounded homes and could be ready for full scale attack on residents. activists say at least 16 people have been killed today. russia witnessed some of the biggest antigovernment protests today since the fall of the soviet union. tens of thousands defied authorities and ignored the frigid weather to turn out in moscow. they believe the last election was rigged, in favor of putin's united russia party. the demonstrations -- demonstrators want the results thrown out. they are calling for a new vote. putin is widely expected to return to his old post of president the next election. in a horrific scene near the philippines capitol, 13 people killed, two victims reportedly children. at least 20 more people were injured. the crash sparked a fire that torched a local school. the plane reported problems shortly after taking off. the pilot made a request to land at an airport in manila but did not make it. >> newt gingrich's campaign spokesman tries to put an end to a fire storm that gingrich himself caused. we are live from des moines, ahead of tonight's gop debate in two minutes. republican presidential hopeful newt gingrich is trying to clarify remarks he made about the middle east peace process. he described the peace process as quote, delusional. here is more of what he had to say. >> i believe that the jewish people have the right to have the state and i believe that the commitments that were made at a time, remember, there were -- there was no palestinian as a state. that is part of the empire. and i think that we have had an invented palestinian people. who are arabs and historically part of the arab community. since that interview was released, the gingrich campaign issued a statement saying, quote, gingrich supports a negotiated peace agreement between israel and palestinians. however, to understand what is being proposed and negotiated, you have to understand decades of complex history, unquote. we want to head it iowa where gingrich and other gop hopefuls are getting ready for the first debate in several weeks. political producer rachel streitfeld is standing by for us. any reaction it gingrich's comments? >> sure. we haven't heard from mitt romney directly but one of his supporters, mary cramer, made comments. she said that the comments made her nervous. she said it won't help with a solution in the middle east. she tied it to a larger attack that the romney campaign has been pushing against gingrich. they say he is undisciplined and the off the cuff comments could be turned around and used against him. we will see if romney uses that in the debate tonight and if other colleagues want to chime in on what he said yesterday. >> to gingrich has basically become the front runener several polls. no doubt he will abt the center of the storm tonight. >> right. i think the question is not if the other candidates go after gingrich, it is when. he is coming in on high here. he is solidly in the lead in several of the early states. he will be standing right smack dab in the middle of the stage right next to mitt romney. we will also be watching romney, of course. his front-runner status is challenged by gingrich. he has not been attack had gingrich publicly but could change tonight. there is also congressman ron paul who served in the house with gingrich. he has not been shy about going after the former speaker. he called limb a flip-flopper, saying he is is not a real conservative. >> rachel, thank you very much. appreciate your reporting. should young teens have access to the morning after pill in the obama administration says no. two human behavior experts weigh in on the controversy, next. - ♪ ai, ai, ai - ♪ bum-bum - ♪ bum-bum, bum-bum - ♪ [ ice rattles rhythmically ] ♪ bum-bum, bum-bum, bum-bum ♪ ♪ [ imitates guitar noise ] ♪ [ vocalizing up-tempo heavy metal song ] ♪ [ vocalizing continues ] ♪ [ all singing ] the redesigned, 8-passenger pilot. smarter thinking. from honda. a controversy decision by the obama administration and who should and should not have access to the prescription. on wednesday, health and human secretary overruled an fda recommendation to make the emergency contraceptive bill plan b step 1 available over the counter to girls younger than 17. critics say her decision was based on social, not medical concerns. let's talk about this more. joining us now, dr. elderman and in san diego, i know, dr. of psychologist wenty walsh, also cohost of the tv show "the doctors." they say the morning after pill is completely safe. but she says there is not enough data and also says she is worried about confusing 11-year-old girls. why is it confusing. >> i think that's inflammatory to say 11-year-old girls. less than 1% of 11-year-old gills have ever had sex. parents need to get their heads out of the sand. by the age 18, 80% of humans have had sex for the first time. it is one thing for a girl to go home to her daddy and say, i'm pregnant. she needs family support for that. but to say, the condom broke, daddy, can you get me a prescription? let her go to the drugstore and get something to help her. if they can figure out geometry and algebra and tweet and text, they can figure out when to take plan b. >> it needs to be taken within 72 hours but is most effective after 24 hours. wouldn't younger teens not have the wherewithal it see the doctor that fast? >> first of all, they are having sex. they need to talk to their parents. they don't need to be circumvented to go to wallgreen's because they don't want to talk to mom and dad. they need more parenting. this isn't contraception. >> is this about more parenting? the fact is, statistics show that 11-year-olds, some do have sex. >> yes. but they are looking for love and they think sex is the gateway. we have all this hip-hop music and stuff on television. >> i understand that. but that is not what this is bp this is about when that does happening with the small percentage of the time that it happens -- >> my daughter will not circumvent me and kbo to wallgreen's and -- >> don, he is talking like a dude. don, he is talking like a dad. >> like a daddy. >> he is talking like a daddy. if someone as young as 12, 13, 14 is having sex, then children have been using already the culture for their misinformation. now they need the culture to help solve their problems because it was -- they were unable it get the information and go to mommy and daddy. that's the big point. parents do need to talk to their kids about sex and prepare them for not only the physiological, not just the plumbing lesson, but they need the -- >> but to say, every time i have sex can i go to wallgreen's and circumvent mom and dad. >> say the drugstore because it is not just wallgreen's. >> okay, the drugstore. we know that girls that have sex have lower self-esteem and become more an more promiscuoup. so they will stop talking to mom and dad and not do what we are trying to prevent. >> some say, we need to hold off until we know how to better educate kids about prevention. the problem is what you have been discussing. do they have a point here? first, wendy. >> i think they do have a point that it is about parental education. but don, if we are talking about a girl who may be even suffers from violence or abuse in her household, and she is 15, 16 years old, is she going to go home and tell daddy and risk being percencated by her family? it is not that she is saying her she is pregnant, she says the condom broke. now she admits she is sexually active. the talk to talk about sex is the time to ask when a younger sibling got into the tummy. you give them information as when they are ready for it. opinion when they are 16. >> this is a great topic. we can continue talking about it, but i want to talk about another topic, horrible bosses. there are lot out there and some are really bad. >> you know, last month, you made me work so late that i missed say good-bye to my gam gam. >> i'm sorry, what? >> my grandmother, you said if i left early i would be fired. she died before i made it to the hospital. >> i'm sorry. >> thank you. >> i had no idea that you called your grandmother gam gam. >> that was a clip from the movie "horrible bosses." guess what? bad bosses aren't just bad for you, they are also bad for your marriage. wendy, what do you know about this? >> well, there is a new study that's come out showing that people who do have toxic or abusive bosses, that those feelings bleed into their own relationships. the interesting thing is the longer they've had a stable love relationship in their life, and the bigger their family support is or the more children they have, that tended to buffer the negative effects of what happenes with a boss. but let's face it, when you are in a toxic environment all day, it is very difficult to kpart meant lies that and be sweet to everybody else because you have just been abused all day. >> you got it. how do you keep an abusive situation at work from affecting your home life? >> first of all, come home and especially with men, allow them to recharge and do something for an hour, to take the day off of them. the worst thing that women do is when they come in and say, hey baby -- >> thank you. >> -- let them wash the day off and then come find you. >> give us some time to just be a guy. >> we have been with that baby for 12 years. we haven't even had time to pee or take a shower. >> it is like they are standing in the garage waiting. you can't even pull in the garage and they say, take the baby. 30 minutes is all we ask. >> you need to recover from that lunch with clients. >> i appreciate both doctors. >> thank you. new information in the penn state sex abuse scandal. next, details about a connection between the second mile foundation and pennsylvania's governor. live from state college, next. 3 grilled combinations all under $20. like our maine lobster with peppercorn sirloin, or our new bacon-wrapped shrimp with blue cheese sirloin for $14.99. i'm john mazany and i sea food differently. we asked total strangers to watch it for us. thank you so much, i appreciate it, i'll be right back. they didn't take a dime. how much in fees does your bank take to watch your money ? if your bank takes more money than a stranger, you need an ally. ally bank. no nonsense. just people sense. accused former penn state coach jerry sandusky will face some of his accusers on tuesday. that's when a preliminary evidence hearing is scheduled on the dozens of charges he molested ten young boys but today there's new information about a financial connection between board members of sandusky's charity and a governor of pennsylvania's election campaign. cnn contributor and reporter for the pat news co-wrote the article. so sarah, it is good to see you. what did you find out? >> he accepted more than $25,000 in campaign contributiones from second mile board members and that included a fund-raiser from the board chair who held a fund-raiser at his home in january 2010 for the governor for his campaign np. now today he is defending all of that, saying, it would have looked political if he had charged sandusky at the time. it would have looked political if he waited. so it is a lose/lose situation for him and he is defending hit situation saying he didn't want to give that money back or refuse it because that would give away that jerry sandusky was under investigation. the second mile knew sandusky was under investigation and that's because sandusky himself told them in late 2008. >> so sarah, here there is a new poll, gauging reaction, to the way this scandal has been handled. can you tell us about it? >> yeah, you know, it's interesting. with corbit, it is split. 38% versus 36% approval rating. for how he handled the investigation. but i think the more interesting numbers that came out of that poll was that 52% of pennsylvaniians agree with joe paterno's firing versus 43% of people polled. so you know, that kind of shows you a bigger picture. outside of happy valley where there is a lot of concern about what happened to joe paterno. what people are thinking about that firing and that last-minute decision. >> a hearing we told our viewers about on tuesday, what's coming up? >> well, you know, we know that this is going to be the first time that jerry sneeks will face his accusers. although, we ran into cnn got jerry sandusky's attorney to talk yesterday outside of jerry's home where they spent the day preparing for what would happen tuesday and he said this, he said anyone looking for a bomb shell coming out of tuesday, is really going to be disappointed. you know, we are expecting a long day, maybe even two days. because there is a lot of evidence here. this isn't a trial but almost like a mini trial because the prosecutors do have to put on a significant amount of evidence show to that they have enough evidence to go to trial. they have to convince a judge of that. so you know, we do expect to hear from several of the alleged victims. we don't expect to hear from jerry himself, but we'll see. >> all right, thank you very much, sarah, we appreciate it. time now to talk weather and our meteorologist jacquie jsara is jacqui jeras is here. and we have, you know, bonnie raitt, total eclipse of the heart? i know, cheesy. >> i did not see it. those of us on east coast, it was bright already. >> we are seeing it now on video. . >> that's the great thing about cnn, the internet, all that. you didn't have to get up at 6 in the morning. this is affiliate from king tv in seattle. total eclipse of the moon. the first one we couldn't see in the united states, is the east coast got ripped 06 twice, i guess, right? but kind after rare thing to see it. and the moon was setting so it looked unusually large in the sky. rather quick mover. it took about 15 minutes to view that eclipse. what a beautiful sight, what a cool thing. worth getting up early for on a saturday morning, don't you think? >> no. >> yes. >> come on. >> i love it. >> all right. >> let's take a couple of weather headlines. we have three of them really. what is happening with the cold air is that it is moving over warmer great lakes and when that happens, lake effect snow belt machines kick on in and we have been seeing it heavy especially off lake ontario. four to seven inches through today. maybe a couple inches overnight before it cuts off. weather headline number two, big soaker here in florida. incredible amount of rain just hugging the east central coast of florida. moving back in tonight but look at numbers. more than seven inches in jensen beach. that's quite a delouge there and rain in texas. that's a good thing. we are talking san antonio. we are talking the drought-rid wr en state of texas. dry enon record for san antonio. still down more than 15 inches. same story in austin. deficit is more than 17 inches. so nice, to get a little rain in texas today. >> we are in this studio -- >> we're not complaining. >> not complaining. i feel like we are back in local news. live, local, late breaking. >> any office is right down the hall. >> i can't even sneeze or ask anyone for anything, because you are right here. we are under a temporary studio, by the way. thanks, see flu a bit. >> former penn state assistant coach jerry sandusky is about to come face-to-face with his accusers. coming up, defense attorney holly hughs joins us for this dramatic development. but first -- take two boomers. both out of work. add in, love of food, and have you a career reinvention. christine romans takes a look at starting over and starting a business after 50. >> eating is a very emotional thing. >> now a lively hood. >> really, really good. >> almost two years ago the friend and next door neighbors cooked up elizabeth lane cuisines. a line of gluten free simmer sauces. >> these are sauces that we make on a regular basis. >> in 2008, the advertising business tanked. >> when the phone stopped ringing, i knew i today do something quick. >> when michael lot of his job in healthcare management, he found inspiration from his 12-year-old daughter. >> she said, so, dad, what is to you really like to do?

and this -- a place like handi-craft gift them a wonderful opportunity to have a responsible 9 to 5 job. >> with 50 stores in 16 states, their boomer reboot is working. >> if we started this right out of college, you know, in our late 20s or early 30s, it probably would have been much tougher. >> so totally different than a 9 to 5 job. i've done both and i know where i want to be, and i'm where i want to be. >> christine romans, cnn, new york. in america, we believe in a future that is better than today. since 1894, ameriprise financial has been working hard for their clients' futures. never taking a bailout. helping generations achieve dreams. buy homes. put their kids through college. retire how they want to. ameriprise. the strength of america's largest financial planning company. the heart of 10,000 advisors working with you, one-to-one. together, for your future. ♪ [♪...] >> announcer: now get a $250 airfare credit, plus save up to 65%. call 1-800-sandals. certain restrictions apply. criminal case outside of atlanta to tell you about. 20-year-old maintenance worker is charged with brutally killing a 7-year-old girl in canton, georgia. a source says that jorelys rivera's mangled body was found in a trash compactor in the apartment complex where brunn worked. holly hughs is here. former prosecutor. holly, it is interesting, because, i don't watch local news that much and everyone had been asking me about this story. i didn't know about it. so brunn is accused of killing rivera by hitting her on the head with a blunt object. he also sexually assaulted and stabbed her. >> yes. >> police are not saying the evidence against him. why are they keeping quiet about this? >> initially what they want to do is protect the integrity of their investigation. before they have a suspect they keep very kwquiet about details. only the kill wore know the details. this was a very brutal assault. out of respect for the family, we are not getting the gory details or what is going to have to be said once they get into court. unfortunately those things will come in as testimony through the medical examiner, and at that point in time, the family will have to decide, do they want to stay in the courtroom for that horrible testimony? >> yeah, and everywhere, in the grocery store, people say, who killed that 7-year-old girl in canton? i say, i don't know what you're talking about. now it is surfacing nationwide. it is horrific. brunn's lawyer said he will plead not guilty. his brother spoke to the media earlier this week. here is what he said. >> he knew he was suspected but he never, like, thought it would go to him. he was asked to help to look for this little girl then got brought into this. this is so stupid. >> police say brunn has no criminal history. isn't that unusual in these kinds of cases? >> it is. but he has no criminal history that we know of. this is not his first time at the rodeo. if in fact he is guilty of this crime, this is high risk. it was -- this is broad daylight. this is a gated community. think about that. people think they are safe in a gated community. she was 50 feet away with a teenage baby-sitter present at the playground when she was snatched. this is not his first time into the criminal system. he has done something like this before. he couldn't have done this and pulled it off if he hadn't. what we are going to see, i guarantee it. police will start looking at unsolved homicides, unsolved rapes. unsolved assaults on women. everywhere he's been. and i wouldn't be surprised if we don't find out that he has done things in the past we haven't tied him to yet. >> people say, i can't believe he has a criminal history. every criminal has to have a first victim. >> yeah. >> it seems there are a lot more of the child abduction cases. a lot more, or a lot more are just reporting. >> we have advanced as a society. er with so mobile. you can snatch a child, get on a plane, on a train, you can get far away and our criminals are getting smarter. the more shows we have like "csi", the more reporting we know, they know how to get away with it. i think there are more things. >> in three days, jerry sandusky will face his alleged victims in court for the first time. accusers are expected to testify at sandusky's preliminary hearing. holly, what can we expect at this hearing. >> when the defense wants the case thrown out, they say to the judge, we want sort of a mini trial, as it were. we want it see what evidence is. it is not beyond a reasonable doubt, because it is an jury trial. but the prosecution will have to put up some evidence to convince the judge there is enough evidence here to allow the case to go to trial. they just need to meet that threshold. and we think there is enough that a jury should decide this issue. >> i want to ask about his bail. why isn't it higher? this week there is 12 victims. total now, alleged, ten. charges are at 50 now. >> the bail is to each individual crime. it is not as if you can say, you are charged with 16 murders so we will give you 16 bonds and increase them each time. the number is commensurate with the crime charged. >> okay. let's talk about bernie fine. another one of these alleged things that have happened with him. the statute of limitations. is he out of the woods? >> not necessarily. because as we know, the federal statute is ten years. as posed to state being five. if there were victims being 2002 or later in time, they will still fall under the ten years. also, we may find new victims as we know with pedophiles, don, you and i have talked about it. average pedophile, a hundred victims, i don't think the three accusers are all we will see. and some may be later in time. >> another of the alleged victims filed a civil suit this week against fine claiming that former coach abused him in a pittsburgh hotel. but he admitted to sexually abusing a minor himself, this person. is that going to change anything in this case? his believability? credibility? anything like that? >> well it will make it tougher. the jury will look at him a little suspicious, but here is what he will do. he will put an skbert expert to say that reason he is abusing children, the reason he is accused of kids is because of what bernie fine did to him. >> repeating the pattern. >> exactly. he has to. >> thank you. wee appreciate it. we're back in two minutes. cteria to help balance your colon. you had me at "probiotic."
