The San Diego region gained 4,000 construction jobs from March 2015 to March 2016, according to an analysis of federal employment data by the Associated General Contractors of America.

The group said construction employment increased 6 percent over the 12-month period, from 66,400 to 70,400 jobs.

Nationally, construction employment increased in 244 out of 358 metropolitan area, according to the data, a sign of recovery after the years-long economic downturn. The association said 70 percent of construction firms reported they are struggling to find qualified workers.

Anaheim-Santa Ana-Irvine added the most construction jobs during the past year, 11,900, a 14 percent increase.

A pregnant woman who unexpectedly went into labor and gave birth to a baby boy onboard a Jetstar Asia flight has named her son after the airline, NBC News reported.

The baby, Saw Jet Star, was delivered safely on Flight 3K583 on April 22, thanks to three doctors on board the plane who stepped forward to help.

"Both mother and son are in good health and have been discharged from the local hospital in Yangon," the airline said in a Facebook post this week.

The airline donated approximately $744 of baby supplies to the family.

Jetstar recognized crew member Saw Ler Htu, who "exercised utmost care and concern for the passenger," and visited the mother and child after they were admitted to a hospital.

The Food and Drug Administration approved the first commercial U.S. test Thursday to diagnose the Zika virus, NBC News reported.

Quest Diagnostics will use the same method that government labs use to look for Zika virus in a patient's blood.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends testing pregnant women with Zika symptoms, those who have traveled to areas where Zika is spreading while they are pregnant and women who have had sex with someone who has Zika.

Doctors can now order the test through Quest, which says it can get results in three to five days. Until now, patients who wanted the test had to go through their state or local health departments.  

A spokeswoman for Quest said most patients with a health plan may receive some coverage benefits. Uninsured patients can expect to pay $120 for the test, she said. 

The mother of a Florida teen who vanished months ago on a fishing trip with a friend now suspects foul play may have been a factor, according to a lawsuit filed in connection with the case.

Austin Stephanos and Perry Cohen, both 14, were lost at sea while fishing off the coast of Jupiter last July. 

The boys were never found, although a pilot flying off the Georgia coast said he believes he saw one of the teens clinging to a pile of debris and waving his hands, according to a report released this week. By the time rescuers arrived, the person was gone.

The teens' boat was recovered near Bermuda almost eight months later, along with Stephanos' iPhone, which the families hope will provide valuable insight into what went wrong.

Stephanos' father, William Blu Stephanos, said earlier this week he was working with the phone's manufacturer and an IT professional to retrieve information from the waterlogged device.

The phone, however, has become a source of contention, with Cohen's mother filing suit Monday when the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission agreed to relinquish the device to Blu Stephanos.

According to the suit, the FWC notified Pamela Cohen on April 22 "it did not intend to professionally examine the iPhone or extract the data" because the case was closed.

Pamela Cohen has said the teens shared Austin Stephanos' phone because her son's was broken. The suit claims she "will continue to suffer irreparable harm if the iPhone is not properly handled as material evidence in a possible maritime crime or homicide."

An investigative file dated Feb. 8 reveals the FBI has been involved in the case since September, when Austin Stephanos' stepfather told officials he believed the boys may have been abducted, NBC News reported. State investigators subpoenaed phone records in December as part of "an official investigation of a suspected felony," according to the document.

FWC spokesman Rob Klepper declined to comment Friday on the Cohen family's suspicion of foul play. He said the agency would not be issuing any additional statements on the case.

In a statement Tuesday, Pamela Cohen said she would withdraw her lawsuit if the Stephanos family submitted the phone for an independent forensics examination.

"We will be withdrawing our lawsuit as soon as FWC receives the written consents it needs from both families to put the iPhone in the hands of the best impartial iPhone extraction experts available, in a proper legal chain of custody," Pamela Cohen said in the statement.

During a hearing on the suit Friday afternoon, Pamela Cohen asked that the device be turned over to a third-party examiner.

"The public has a right to know what happened to the boys, and what led up to the point of their disappearance," the lawsuit states.

A judge said the phone will be shipped to Apple for forensic examination.

FWC officials previously said there was no criminal element to the case.

The San Diego Gulls snatched a 2-1 series lead in the 1^st round of the AHL playoffs by dismantling the Texas Stars 6-1 in front of more than 6,500 fans.

All-Star Brandon Montour got the scoring started in the 1^st period. 

The Gulls expanded that lead to 4-0 before the second intermission thanks to goals by Nick Ritchie, Mike Sgarbossa and Joseph Cramarossa.

Stefan Noesen and Mike Wagner also lit the lamp to the delight of the home crowd. 

Shea Theodore was fantastic and credited with 3 assists in the blowout.

The Gulls will attempt to win their first-ever AHL Calder Cup playoff series Friday evening when they play Game 4 against the Stars, the puck drops at 7:05 p.m. at Valley View Casino Center.

If Texas avoids elimination, a deciding game 5 will be played Monday night in San Diego.

The two young daughters of an internationally known pianist likely died of asphyxia, according to a medical examiner in North Texas.

The Tarrant County medical examiner's office released the autopsy reports Thursday on the bodies of 1-year-old Michela Kholodenko and 5-year-old Nika Kholodenko, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Their mother, Sofya Tsygankova, 31, has been charged in their deaths. Tysgankova allegedly told police "she didn't want to live" and "didn't see any future" for her or her children.

Vadym Kholodenko, a Ukrainian-born winner of the prestigious Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, discovered his daughters' bodies March 17 when he arrived at the Benbrook home the girls shared with their mother to take them to school.

Kholodenko told investigators he found his wife "going crazy" in a blood-covered night gown and the children "in bed, and not moving," according to the warrant for Tsygankova's arrest.

Investigators found bloody bed linens in a car parked in the garage, the warrant reveals. Two matching pillows discovered in the children's rooms — including one partially covering Michela's head — appeared to be stained with "biological fluid," investigators said.

A friend of Tsygankova's sister said Kholodenko and Tsygankova had been through a divorce and that Tsygankova was having a difficult time coping.

Tsygankova pleaded not guilty to two counts of capital murder. She remains in the Tarrant County Jail with bail set at $2 million.

Her attorney declined to comment on the specific allegations during Tsygankova's arraignment last month.

The San Diego Chargers selected Joey Bosa, the defensive end out of Ohio State University, as their third overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft. At 6 feet 5 inches tall and weighing 270 pounds, Bosa is an aggressive pass rusher. He was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year and captured unanimous All-American honors. Bosa played a key role on the Ohio State defense helping his school win the 2014 National Championship.

Chargers Head Coach Mike McCoy says the coaching staff has been following Bosa for a long time and they were most impressed with his dedication saying, “We just love his passion for the game. When he walked out of the room at the combine he was fired up and said ‘I can't wait to wear that Chargers helmet one day.’ I mentioned it to him tonight and he's got a lot of energy and excitement. The fans are going to love him."

Bosa attended St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, which houses a football program known for building future NFL players. Bosa was an early starter for the Ohio State University Buckeyes in his freshman year. The defensive end is extremely competitive, loves rushing around the outside to get to the quarterback and is solid against the rush. Chargers General Manager Tom Telesco was enticed by Bosa’s versatility saying, "For us he's really balanced. To find a player who can help us on both sides, which we need, you know he's not just strictly a pass rusher; he plays the running game extremely well. So to have those factors all add up, it's nice in your third pick of the draft."

What does this selection mean for the Chargers defense? The Bolts potentially have a defensive line that includes Joey Bosa, Brandon Mebane, Corey Liuget and perhaps even Sean Lissemore; and that’s a step in the right direction. San Diego holds the fourth pick on Friday in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft, which is the 35th overall selection. The final day of the NFL Draft is Saturday April 30th.

San Diego Police are looking for the man still at-large after leading officers on a high-speed chase across the North County Thursday evening.

Police identify the driver as wanted felon 41-year old Ahran Haugley.

Haugley took off after abandoning his car in an underground parking structure in Downtown San Diego on 9th and F Street.

The pursuit began at approximately 5 p.m. near Caminito East Bluff and Via Sonoma when officers were conducting a "check the welfare" call, San Diego Police (SDPD) officers said.

But Haugley refused to pull over and began weaving in and out of traffic during the evening commute.

He led the pursuit from La Jolla up to several North County freeways. He stopped to change his clothes in Del Mar before continuing the wild ride.

NBC 7 San Diego followed the pursuit live as it unfolded.

Police say speeds on the southbound Interstate 5 reached up to 85 miles per hour. At one point, Haugley put the car in reverse and drove backwards on a freeway on-ramp, sideswiping another vehicle.

SDPD called off ground units due to safety concerns but continued the pursuit in the air.

Haugley eventually drove into Downtown San Diego, pulled into a parking structure and took off on foot.

Kelsey McAndrew operates a rental car business on F Street. She is one of two people who talked to Haugley in the garage.

McAndrew says he drove into the garage at what she thought seemed like 90 miles per hour. 

"I was just saying hey what's going on, you're going to kill someone, and he's like I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she said.

More than 40 officers and canine units searched the building. Investigators called off the search when they spotted Haugley in a surveillance video, leaving the building about a minute after parking in a handicapped spot.

Police say Haugley is wearing a black hoody, blue jeans and black tennis shoes. He is 5'6'' and weighs around 170 pounds. 

Vociferously chanting "Dump Trump," and "Run Trump Run," protesters trying to prevent Donald Trump from giving the kick-off speech at the California Republican Convention Friday blocked the entrance, jumped over bushes and faced off against police in riot gear.

The mood was mostly peacefully in Burlingame Friday morning, but turned much more tense shortly before noon, when protestors tried to block the entrance to the Hyatt Regency. Raucous crowds formed on Old Bayshore Highway. Police were spotted from the NBC Bay Area chopper running after them in full riot clear. One protester was escorted out of the hotel by security after she sneaked into the main convention hall and chanted: "Dump Trump."

[[377592241, C]]

Law enforcement officials told NBC Bay Area that a five arrests had been made as of Friday afternoon. One minor injury was reported.

Despite the protests, Trump arrived at the hotel shortly after noon, jumping with his entourage over a highway wall to make his way inside, where California Republican Chair Jim Brulte told luncheon guests Trump had arrived. "That was not the easiest entrance I've ever made," Trump joked at the luncheon. "It felt like I was crossing the border."

[[377617221, C]]

"People who believe in free speech were trying to prevent Trump from coming to the convention, but the California Highway Patrol and Burlingame police are really, really good, Donald Trump has arrived and is in the hotel," Brulte said.

Trump did have supporters outside the hotel, but the overall message was against the business mogul, who has called Mexicans rapists and whose platform includes building a wall on the border with Mexico to keep foreigners out.

People outside the Hyatt held up signs that read “Mr. Hate Leave Our State,” and more explosive, expletive-laden comments.

[[377610971, C]]

“We don’t want him to be president,” said Angelina Castro in a Facebook Live interview early Friday. Castro said she came to protest for her daughter.

"We don't have a problem with Republicans," she said. "We have a problem with racism, sexism and hatred."

Oscar Munoz, a military veteran with two college degrees, asked out loud: “Why are you racist? Why are we targets of your hate?” Munoz added, "He's a coward. I fought for my country. Did he fight for his country? I'm a vet not a rapist or murderer."

Trump wasn't there for immediate comment. But one Republican attendee told NBC Bay Area: "This is America, this is great, as long as they keep the protests peaceful, it's great."

Inside the GOP Convention Hall, Truman Jensen and his wife, Barbara, said they're voting for Trump because he has hired more people than Hillary Clinton.

The Trump brouhaha in Silicon Valley comes after the violent scene that played out in Orange County on Thursday night outside the Pacific Amphitheatre, where 17 people were arrested during a raucous protest after Trump gave a speech. One man was seen jumping on top of a police car, and a second patrol car was shattered.

Trump’s speeches have garnered support from many across the United States. But the anti-Trump sentiment is arguably among the strongest in the left-leaning Bay Area, where diversity is high and minorities from all over the world choose to live.

[[377639031, C]]

This weekend, Trump will be joined by Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz — who will be speaking Saturday at noon — and his newly-named running mate, former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, who is slotted to keynote Saturday's dinner banquet.

Gov. John Kacish, who has so far led a lackluster presidential campaign, will be speaking at Friday’s dinner banquet.

[[377615551, C]]

Party leaders hope that the Republicans' messages don't dissolve into a shouting match, or worse.

"We've talked with everybody and we're confident that we have a good system in place," said Kaitlyn MacGregor, California Republican Party spokeswoman. "And if they don't behave, we have a system to handle that."

NBC Bay Area's Bob Redell, Robert Handa and Michelle Roberts contributed to this report.

A Russian jet flew dangerously close to a U.S. aircraft over the Baltic Sea on Friday, according to military officials, NBC News reported.

The Russian SU-27 flew within 25 feet of the U.S. RC-135 aircraft’s fuselage, conducting a barrel roll over the U.S. plane. 

A Department of Defense spokesperson said the Russian plane “performed erratic and aggressive maneuvers” and that it “intercepted the U.S. aircraft flying a routine route at high rate of speed from the side.” The spokesperson said the U.S. aircraft was operating in international airspace and didn’t cross into Russian territory. 

The incident comes a few weeks after another Russian aircraft flew dangerously close to the USS Donald Cook and another RC-135 in the same area.

The day after staging a walkout, dozens of Hoover High School students on Friday morning marched to the Board of Education to protest the firing of two soccer coaches.

Hoover High Vice Principal Jeremy Martin said two walk-on coaches did not have their temporary contracts renewed, adding the school wants to go in a "different direction."

This decision led hundreds of students to walk out of class from 9:30 a.m. to 12:20 p.m. Thursday in a peaceful demonstration.

On Friday morning, students met with the San Diego Unified School District’s director of athletics as well as a leader of youth advocacy for the district.

The students marched 3 miles from the school to the Board of Education, asking the board to reinstate the soccer coaches, one of whom had been at school 20 years.

The students shouted “We want Papo! We want Papo,” referring to one of the coaches, while walking to the district building.

Board officials told the students that they couldn’t overrule the school principal’s decision.

Many kids were baffled about the terminations. One student told NBC 7 that students were told that the most tenured coach, Papo Santos, had not met goals set for him by the school.

“We’re trying to take this program to the point where it can reach more kids in this community,” Hoover High Principal Joe Austin said, noting the coaches’ goals were not met.

Austin said he hopes to enlist the help of the students to hire new coaches. There is no timeline yet in selecting new coaches.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign is preparing to hire staffers in some of the general election’s battleground states, NBC News reported.

A Clinton campaign official told NBC News the first wave of new hires and reassignments will involve state directors and other senior staff. The campaign is setting up state directors in Florida, New Hampshire and Colorado, and will eventually have general election operations in every state. 

The aide stressed that Clinton will continue to campaign in the remaining primary states. 

The news was first reported in USA Today.

The first round of the 2016 NFL Draft was ... eventful. It was also surprising. All 32 teams had a chance to sit on the developments overnight and re-calibrate their boards. Here's a guess at how the 2nd round might go down, barring any more trades, of course:

32) Browns: Connor Cook, QB, Michigan St.

Cleveland needs a QB in a bad, bad way. They could do a lot worse than grabbing a proven winner from Big 10 country on Day 2.

33) Titans: Michael Thomas, WR, Ohio St.

Marcus Mariota gets some help on the outside.

34) Cowboys: Kevin Dodd, DE, Clemson

Dallas needs pass rush help. Dodd could be a demon in their scheme.

35) Chargers: Nick Martin, C, Notre Dame

The last time the Chargers were in the playoffs was also the last year Nick Hardwick was on the field. The need for a man in the middle is obvious, Martin can start Week 1, and it's been a an entire round and Tom Telesco had not added a Fightin' Irish player yet. He's due.

36) Ravens: Myles Jack, OLB, UCLA

Perhaps the most shocking free fall I've ever seen finally ends. Baltimore's defense is getting a little long in the tooth so they get a coups with a top-10 talent.

37) Chiefs: A'Shawn Robinson, DT, Alabama

KC likes big guys in the middle of the defensive line. This guy is that and more.

38) Jaguars: Noah Spence, DE/OLB, Eastern Kentucky

Jacksonville uses Spence as a linebacker and finds itself another playmaker on an aging unit.

39) Buccaneers: Andrew Billings, DT, Baylor

Tampa Bay gets a run-stuffing machine to put next to Gerald McCoy.

40) Giants: Reggie Ragland, LB, Alabama

New York needs another thumper in the middle of the defense. This kid hits like Mike Tyson in his prime.

41) Bears: Cody Whitehair, G, Kansas St.

The Bears offensive line has needed help for a while now. They can finally address it with a guy who does just about everything well.

42) Dolphins: Kendall Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech

Miami needs corner hell and Fuller has first round talent. Injury concerns knocked him to Day 2.

43) Titans: Vonn Bell, DB, Ohio St.

Tennessee needs help at safety and corner. Bell can play both.

44) Raiders: Le'Raven Clark, OL, Texas Tech

They'll toy with RB Derrick Henry here but protecting emerging QB Derek Carr is the priority.

45) Titans: Jarran Reed, DT, Alabama

They probably have more pressing needs but this guy is awfully good to pass up at this spot.

46) Lions: Chris Jones, DT, Mississippi St.

Detroit gets a really good player at a position of need.

47) Saints: Jason Spriggs, OT, Indiana

They probably need more help at guard but Drew Brees needs protecting and Spriggs is one of the best pass blockers on the board.

48) Colts: Mackensie Alexander, CB, Clemson

Another guy who could have gone on Day 1, and Indy could use assistance in the secondary.

49) Bills: Shon Coleman, OT, Auburn

They'll grab a QB in the 3rd round to groom under Tyrod Taylor but for now they need o-line improvement.

50) Falcons: Kamalei Correa, LB, Boise St.

One of the underrated defensive players in the class, Correa has a motor that does not stop.

51) Jets: Emmanuel Ogbah, DE, Oklahoma St.

New York gets another pass rusher because they love them there.

52) Texans: Hunter Henry, TE, Arkansas

I thought Houston would take a look at the highest-rated tight end in the Draft in the 1st round. They're ecstatic to get him here.

53) Redskins: Jihad Ward, DL, Illinois

Washington needs bodies up front. Ward can play all along the d-line.

54) Vikings: Su'a Cravens, S/LB, USC

After getting Bridgewater a weapon on Thursday Minnesota adds a physical presence on defense. He'll play strong safety for them.

55) Bengals: Austin Johnson, DT, Penn St.

Cincinnati would like a nose tackle. They find one in Johnson.

56) Seahawks: Xavien Howard, CB, Baylor

Seattle needs secondary depth. Howard is physical and can make plays on the ball.

57) Packers: Sterling Shepard, WR, Oklahoma

After the WR injuries that derailed their 2015 season Green Bay adds some protection from it happening again.

58) Steelers: Darian Thompson, S, Boise St.

Pittsburgh doubles up in the secondary with a safety who has good ball skills.

59) Chiefs: Joshua Perry, LB, Ohio St.

He has the ability to play inside or out and KC's core linebackers are getting up there in age.

60) Patriots: Kenneth Dixon, RB, Louisiana Tech

The Pats love versatile backs and Dixon can help in plenty of different ways.

61) Patriots: Tyler Boyd, WR, Pittsburgh

The Pats live versatile wideout and Boyd actually played some in the backfield at Pitt.

62) Panthers: Derrick Henry, RB, Alabama

Carolina pounds the football. Henry is a monster. It's a perfect match.

63) Broncos: Jaylon Smith, LB, Notre Dame

John Elway proves again he sold his soul to Satan to end up with a Top-10 talent. Smith suffered a knee injury in Notre Dame's bowl game or he would be a first round lock. Add another piece to the NFL's best defense from 2015.

Nearly 9,000 people are homeless in San Diego County according to numbers released Friday by The Regional Task Force on the Homeless (RTFH).

Among those living on the street, more than 70 percent said they became homeless while residing in San Diego.

Results show that 8,692 people were living on the streets or in shelters. This reflects a slight decrease from last year’s numbers.

The information indicates an 18.9 percent increase in the number of unsheltered homeless people from last year. Tents and hand built structures increased by 69 percent, region-wide.

There was a 16.2 percent decrease in veteran homelessness, a 12.6 percent decrease in unsheltered homeless families and a 13 percent decrease in unsheltered chronic homelessness.

The information gathered by this yearly count, also called WeAllCount, is vital when identifying strategies and services to alleviate homelessness, according to representatives at RTFH. The 2016 Summary of WeAllCount results can be found on the Regional Task Force on the Homeless website.

"Communities around the country who are declaring an end to homelessness are doing so with a focus on real solutions like Housing First and permanent supportive housing," said San Diego City Councilmember Todd Gloria, who chairs the Regional Continuum of Care Council.

Dolores Diaz, Executive Director of the Regional Task Force the Homeless, said it was a record-breaking year in terms community engagement with 1,676 volunteers participating at the 73 count and survey sites throughout San Diego County.

RTFH conducted the annual Point-in-Time count during early morning hours on January 29. More than 1,600 volunteers came together to collect information by interviewing homeless individuals throughout the county.

The next Point-in Time count is scheduled to take place on January 27, 2017. Coordinators expect that hundreds of volunteers will gather again to canvas the County, providing information about the homeless population.

As a young child with special needs, Kiarri Kilgallon rode a tricycle just fine, but by the time other kids her age transitioned to a traditional bicycle, her mom realized it wouldn’t come easy for Kiarri.

“And it broke my heart and you see all the kids out riding their bike and that's what you want for your kid," Kiarri’s mother, Dawn Kilgallon, told NBC 7.

Kilgallon soon found help with “I Can Bike,” a week-long camp hosted annually by the non-profit organization, Crimson Treatment and Research Center.

The camp, held at Alliant University in Scripps Ranch, is designed to help children with developmental disabilities learn to ride two-wheel bicycles independently. Each year, 40 local kids join the program and are guided by instructors.

The kids are given the opportunity to user a fleet of specialized bicycles, including bikes that use rollers on the backs to teach balance.

Organizers estimate the program helps 80 percent of enrolled kids ride without any assistance by the end of the five days.

“Boy, the first time she was riding on her own, it was smiles and confidence and it was what I wanted for her,” Kilgallon recalled.

This year’s I Can Bike camp will be held May 9 through May 13. Already, 40 kids have signed up for the camp, with more on a waiting list.

However, organizers say they’ve hit a speed bump: they don’t have enough volunteers, at this point, to support a full schedule of sessions.

“It is a program run Monday through Friday, so we understand lots of people are working but each child needs two spotters, which are volunteer runners that go along with the kids,” Kilgallon explained.

She joined the board of directors for the program herself after seeing her daughter’s success.

Volunteers don’t have to be there for the entire camp and can sign up for sessions that fit their schedules. Anyone interested in volunteering can find more information on the Crimson Treatment and Research Center’s website, or on this website.

A man is dead after crashing into a car and being thrown off his motorcycle Friday.

The crash happened on the southbound Interstate 5, south of Poinsettia near Carlsbad around 3:47 p.m., CHP confirmed.

A 27-year old woman was changing lanes when the motorcyclist crashed into her car.

The 35-year old driver of the motorcycle was splitting traffic at an unknown speed when the crash happened.

He was ejected from the motorcycle and landed on the right shoulder brush area. CHP says a passerby stopped to help but the driver did not have a pulse.

The woman was arrested for DUI and taken to Vista Detention Facility.

No other information was immediately available.

The Zika virus is not usually thought of as a life-threatening virus, but it did kill a man in Puerto Rico. The man, in his 70s, is the first reported U.S. death from the virus, which is spreading across the Americas, according to NBC News. 

Zika can lead to complications like immune thrombocytopenic purpura, as in the case of the man in Puerto Rico. In cases like these, patients can suffer internal bleeding. 

The virus can also cause Guillain-Barre syndrome, severe birth defects and other dangerous nerve conditions in adults. 

There is no specific treatment for Zika infection, and there’s no known way to reverse damage done to a developing baby. A vaccine is in the works, but would be years away from the market.
