:00:00. > :00:00.Time now for a look at the news as seen across the United States a
:00:00. > :00:11.couple of hours ago in ABC World News with David Muir.
:00:12. > :00:16.Welcome. Breaking out, the first confirmed the case of Ebola in the
:00:17. > :00:21.US. The American who had been to Africa, home for some time and then
:00:22. > :00:29.the symptoms. How many people did he come in contact with? The widening
:00:30. > :00:34.Secret Service scandal at the White House. How far did the intruder
:00:35. > :00:39.get? The development, the person who stopped him. The major break,
:00:40. > :00:43.following a shooting at this American high school. The real
:00:44. > :00:56.scare, what happened and what authorities have revealed.
:00:57. > :01:01.Good evening. We begin with breaking news, the deadly Ebola outbreak in
:01:02. > :01:08.Africa and the first confirmed case here in America. The patient
:01:09. > :01:11.diagnosed in the US. A team from the CDC rushed to the scene to this
:01:12. > :01:20.hospital in Dallas where he is in isolation. He has been infectious
:01:21. > :01:24.for several days. Test results confirm it is Ebola. President Obama
:01:25. > :01:28.has been briefed and now the push to track down anyone who may have been
:01:29. > :01:32.in contact with him. Our correspondent with what he is
:01:33. > :01:39.learning from sources at the CDC. He spent many years there and has
:01:40. > :01:43.access exclusively. The case at home and the questions. What about the
:01:44. > :01:50.plane this man took to America and the community where he stayed?
:01:51. > :01:56.The CDC confirms what doctors in this hospital fear, that the patient
:01:57. > :02:00.who walked into the emergency room on Sunday with high fever and other
:02:01. > :02:05.symptoms is sick with Ebola, the first case diagnosed in this
:02:06. > :02:13.country. I have no doubt that we will control this importation of
:02:14. > :02:18.Ebola. So that it doesn't spread widely. Health officials try to calm
:02:19. > :02:24.fears. We identified all people who might have contacted the patient
:02:25. > :02:29.while he could have been infectious. Remember, Ebola doesn't spread from
:02:30. > :02:33.someone who isn't infectious. The doctors and nurses isolated the
:02:34. > :02:38.patient. He left Liberia on the 19th, arrived on the 20th, developed
:02:39. > :02:43.symptoms on the 26th and checked into the hospital on the 28th.
:02:44. > :02:46.Health officials wouldn't share the patient flight schedule, saying he
:02:47. > :02:53.wasn't contentious and Tilly showed symptoms. Compare this story to the
:02:54. > :02:57.hospitalisations of the American patients diagnosed in Africa ``
:02:58. > :02:59.until he showed. They were flown in specially outfitted planes and
:03:00. > :03:05.walked to hospital in protective suits. Doctors who treated them say
:03:06. > :03:09.this patient's chances of beating the disease improve with a
:03:10. > :03:13.round`the`clock care. Authorities and sharing too many details but
:03:14. > :03:19.said the patient was the leading family. Those relatives are being
:03:20. > :03:26.monitored. I wanted to get to our chief medical
:03:27. > :03:32.editor who is in Liberia. Exclusive access to a Ebola ward and images of
:03:33. > :03:36.him suited up, walking through. He spent many years at the CDC in
:03:37. > :03:40.America and joins me the night. The headline, you have been in touch
:03:41. > :03:46.with sources at the CDC. The patient had been home for seven days, now
:03:47. > :03:50.positive with Ebola. Is there a concern about who the patient might
:03:51. > :03:54.have come in contact with? There is and the hospital will take care of
:03:55. > :03:59.the patient by the key is finding every person the patient came in
:04:00. > :04:03.contact with during the period they had symptoms. They will track and
:04:04. > :04:07.follow them for 21 days. If they developed a fever they will go in
:04:08. > :04:12.for isolation. Every person this person came in contact with they
:04:13. > :04:16.will follow for 21 days. This patient had gone to the hospital,
:04:17. > :04:20.was sent home and then went to another hospital. Does that concern
:04:21. > :04:25.you that the signs were missed? That is concerning. Every hospital in
:04:26. > :04:29.America has been asked to be on high alert and ask everyone who has been
:04:30. > :04:33.sick if they have travelled. If they travel to West Africa and have
:04:34. > :04:37.symptoms they are to be tested. People will think about the flights
:04:38. > :04:44.that this person took back to America. Is there reason for
:04:45. > :04:47.concern? The good news for those passengers is that you can't
:04:48. > :04:52.transmit Ebola without symptoms. They didn't develop until he
:04:53. > :04:56.arrived. With symptoms, it has to be contact with body fluids. There is
:04:57. > :05:00.not a lot of concern. Just a few moments. You spent years controlling
:05:01. > :05:10.infectious diseases at how much does this concern you now that we have a
:05:11. > :05:13.confirmed case in the US? It is concerning. We have to work together
:05:14. > :05:21.with everyone to stop this happening. We will have much more
:05:22. > :05:23.first thing in the morning. We turn to the other breaking
:05:24. > :05:30.story, stunning revelations about story, stunning revelations
:05:31. > :05:32.across the White House lawn armed with a knife. Getting through the
:05:33. > :05:38.front door and we now know getting further than we knew. Only tackled
:05:39. > :05:42.once he reached the east room. We learn he was brought down by an off
:05:43. > :05:46.duty agent who wasn't on the clock. The new details and questions, did
:05:47. > :05:52.the Secret Service mislead the President? How much did the
:05:53. > :05:57.President noted? `` know?
:05:58. > :06:02.Criticism about how this man defeated the Secret Service security
:06:03. > :06:08.machine. This was a stunning, disgraceful breach. Bipartisan.
:06:09. > :06:14.Don't let someone get into the White House. This came as damning details
:06:15. > :06:18.became known. Gonzalez pushed through the front door as a female
:06:19. > :06:23.Secret Service officer tried to lock it. After a struggle, he ran past
:06:24. > :06:28.the unguarded staircase leading to the living quarters. The intrusion
:06:29. > :06:31.didn't end until he made his way to the east room and was tackled by an
:06:32. > :06:38.off duty agent who happened to be leaving for the night. To the
:06:39. > :06:41.public, that would be half of White House to. Gonzalez pierced five
:06:42. > :06:45.layers of security, jumping the fence without being stopped by
:06:46. > :06:50.patrol officers, no agents close enough to tackle him as he ran to
:06:51. > :06:55.the White House, no at tax dogs released, sport and sniper teams not
:06:56. > :07:03.engaged and finally an unlocked front door `` attacks. We are
:07:04. > :07:06.shocked about how this came to pass. More questions about why the Secret
:07:07. > :07:09.Service misled the public, suggesting he was unarmed and court
:07:10. > :07:15.immediately upon entering the White House. I wish to God you protected
:07:16. > :07:20.the White House like you are protecting your reputation here
:07:21. > :07:27.today! That reputation has been suffering. Soliciting prostitutes,
:07:28. > :07:30.allowing a phone translator near the President during Nelson Mandela's
:07:31. > :07:38.Funeral. Taking four days to discover the White House was hit by
:07:39. > :07:42.gunfire. Ridiculed for the, with critics suggesting they should hire
:07:43. > :07:47.a home security service. Have you ever heard of these guys? More
:07:48. > :07:51.revelations to come. The Secret Service is investigating whether a
:07:52. > :07:55.security guard in the elevator with President Obama on a trip to at
:07:56. > :07:57.ladder had a criminal record. The Secret Service is looking into
:07:58. > :08:06.reports that the security guard had a gun and wasn't properly vetted.
:08:07. > :08:11.Our correspondent has been on this from the start asking the president
:08:12. > :08:17.if he still believed in his security team. The Secret Service does a
:08:18. > :08:23.great job and I'm grateful for the sacrifices they make on my behalf.
:08:24. > :08:27.He is with us now live from the White House. The president told you
:08:28. > :08:31.he was confident with his Secret Service agents but you are learning
:08:32. > :08:37.that there is a second briefing that has taken place. We now know the
:08:38. > :08:42.president felt the need to call the director of the Secret Service,
:08:43. > :08:45.Julia Pierson, into the White House three days after he told me they
:08:46. > :08:49.were doing a great job to get the full story. This was an
:08:50. > :08:53.extraordinary briefing and the first time all year that he has met
:08:54. > :08:59.directly with her. The question is now whether the Secret Service was
:09:00. > :09:03.misleading the president to way they misled the public. The president
:09:04. > :09:08.will not say that the White House will also not say whether he was
:09:09. > :09:12.told the full story about this. The last time we heard directly from the
:09:13. > :09:17.president about any of this was when I asked him that question in the
:09:18. > :09:22.Oval Office last week. We're going to turn to this frightening headline
:09:23. > :09:27.or parents across America. Two high school shootings in one day. In
:09:28. > :09:29.North Carolina, one student was injured when an argument erupted in
:09:30. > :09:36.gunfire before the start of class and then this disturbingly familiar
:09:37. > :09:40.issue in Kentucky. Students filing out with their hands on their heads
:09:41. > :09:48.after another opened fired. What we have learned tonight. Another school
:09:49. > :09:52.looking more like a battlefield. Police moving in after teenaged
:09:53. > :09:59.shooter opened fire at a high school in Kentucky. Kids leaving school in
:10:00. > :10:04.fear. This is senseless and unacceptable and cannot happen. But
:10:05. > :10:07.it did and four hours the shooter was on the loose. One student was
:10:08. > :10:12.injured in the shooting and wheeled out on a stretcher. Hundreds of
:10:13. > :10:17.parents rushed to the school with their children describing the
:10:18. > :10:21.scene. I was shaking. He was making a lot of noise so I looked back and
:10:22. > :10:24.teachers were trying to calm him down and then the next thing you
:10:25. > :10:30.know, a gun went off and I looked and he had one. The doors were
:10:31. > :10:32.locked and the students went for cover inside the building and to
:10:33. > :10:38.stay there until the all clear was given. Late this afternoon, word
:10:39. > :10:44.that the shooter was caught. Reportedly another student, a
:10:45. > :10:48.teenager with a gun. Where told the injured student is recovering at the
:10:49. > :10:52.hospital and is expected to be OK as the FBI releases a report on mass
:10:53. > :10:58.shootings for the first time. An average of 16 shootings per year in
:10:59. > :11:04.the last six years. Turning to the nationwide manhunt under way for a
:11:05. > :11:07.suspect accused of ambushing state troopers and killing a young father.
:11:08. > :11:13.The man has been spotted in the last one to four hours. Officials have
:11:14. > :11:20.also spotted a pipe`bomb left as a possible trap for search teams. Now
:11:21. > :11:25.we go to our correspondent. Tonight, law enforcement revealing
:11:26. > :11:28.new evidence in their hunt for this fugitive. We located pipe bombs
:11:29. > :11:33.which were fully functional and capable of being deployed.
:11:34. > :11:37.Authorities say they were found in a place the survivalist had been using
:11:38. > :11:40.to sleep and and left behind apparently in a hurry as he runs
:11:41. > :11:45.from the more than 1000 officers searching for him. There is a core
:11:46. > :11:54.that can be stretched out and used as a tripwire. Officials say he has
:11:55. > :11:58.spotted in the last 24 hours, appearing just out of range and then
:11:59. > :12:05.vanishing. I am calling on you to surrender. You are clearly stressed
:12:06. > :12:08.and are making significant mistakes. For more than two weeks, this quiet
:12:09. > :12:14.part of northeastern Pennsylvania has been under siege, the manhunt
:12:15. > :12:20.bringing SWAT teams into backyards. Just guys everywhere, it was like a
:12:21. > :12:26.war zone. Law enforcement also scouring vacant cabins and places he
:12:27. > :12:31.has visited before like this 900 square`foot abandoned resort. The
:12:32. > :12:34.discovery of those pipe bombs taunting another warning for
:12:35. > :12:38.residents inside the search zone. Stay out of the woods. Are you
:12:39. > :12:43.looking forward to this being over with? I will be very happy. Going
:12:44. > :12:53.back to our quiet and peaceful life. We are following severe
:12:54. > :12:57.weather in the heartland this evening. Powerful winds and
:12:58. > :13:05.ferocious hail. Just listen to this. The incredible view from one
:13:06. > :13:08.family's front porch in Colorado. Also a view from the school pelted
:13:09. > :13:15.by hail in the last one to four hours as this system is expected to
:13:16. > :13:20.do more damage across the Midwest. Our meteorologist is with us. Look
:13:21. > :13:28.at the satellite and you can see the storm swirling over. The cold front
:13:29. > :13:31.is going to kick off through Wednesday and Thursday with all the
:13:32. > :13:39.area highlighted in orange. They could see more hail and should be on
:13:40. > :13:44.alert. As far south as Louisiana. That low slides to the east and our
:13:45. > :13:51.first concern is severe weather and flash flooding. It was last night
:13:52. > :13:56.here that we told you about Walmart firing back at comedian Tracy Morgan
:13:57. > :13:58.recovering from that deadly crash. The retailer is faulting him and his
:13:59. > :14:11.passengers for not wearing seatbelts. Tracy Morgan answer back
:14:12. > :14:15.tonight and said the following. Much more ahead on ABC World News
:14:16. > :14:20.tonight. Chilling news about the missing real estate agent. What we
:14:21. > :14:24.have now learned. The biggest dangers facing real estate agents
:14:25. > :15:34.letting strangers into homes across America.
:15:35. > :15:40.We are going to turn to the real dangers many real estate agents
:15:41. > :15:42.based across this country. A real estate Rocher kidnapped and killed
:15:43. > :15:52.on the way to meet a potential buyer. `` broker. Why did this
:15:53. > :15:58.accused killer targeted alleged victim? A real estate agent from
:15:59. > :16:03.Arkansas? His answer was astonishing. 833 `year`old with a
:16:04. > :16:10.lengthy rap sheet has pleaded not and denies killing the mother and
:16:11. > :16:15.grandmother `` the 33`year`old. Authorities say he posed as a
:16:16. > :16:21.buyer. We believe the person responsible for taking her and for
:16:22. > :16:26.her murder is in custody. Allegedly at the hands of a complete stranger,
:16:27. > :16:29.her murder has shaken realtors in this city who spent many days
:16:30. > :16:33.searching for her before her body was found in a shallow grave
:16:34. > :16:39.overnight. Nothing she did is something we have not done in the
:16:40. > :16:45.past. Her boss at this real estate office said no more meeting
:16:46. > :16:49.strangers at their homes. I hope they will realise that we can't just
:16:50. > :16:57.drop everything and go show them a house. Showing their drivers license
:16:58. > :17:01.is just one safety measure recommended by the international
:17:02. > :17:09.Association of realtors. Her boss estimates that 80% of the agents in
:17:10. > :17:11.that office were women and says only one or two carry guns when they show
:17:12. > :17:17.a house. She suspects that by the a house. She suspects that by the
:17:18. > :17:22.end of the week, they all will. One on one with Bill Gates. We did the
:17:23. > :17:26.math and it was staggering. How much he gives away every day and his
:17:27. > :17:31.newest gift comes with great urgency. The richest man in America
:17:32. > :17:36.once again topping the list of the wealthiest men in America. Do you
:17:37. > :17:43.check to see if your name is still on the top? I'm sure someone would
:17:44. > :17:49.tell me if it wasn't. I'm not giving it away fast enough is the problem.
:17:50. > :17:54.Bill Gates is now worth $81 billion with 9 million added over the last
:17:55. > :18:05.year `` billion. He and his wife give away 35 billion and have done
:18:06. > :18:11.since 1994. He talks about his biggest emergency grant ever. $50
:18:12. > :18:16.million to fight Ebola. How important is it that the world get
:18:17. > :18:20.involved? The disease is out of control in three countries for
:18:21. > :18:30.about. We saw exclusive pictures earlier. Beds filled with the sick.
:18:31. > :18:33.What concerns you the most? The horrific fact of people dying of
:18:34. > :18:39.Ebola but also the shutting down of the whole health system. When he and
:18:40. > :18:46.his wife are intending to build. He grew up in Seattle and grew up
:18:47. > :18:54.playing a lot of board games. Any favourites? Cards and monopoly. It
:18:55. > :18:59.is safe to say that he won. But it was something else that caught his
:19:00. > :19:03.eye. You were 13 when he started showing an interest in computers. I
:19:04. > :19:10.was very lucky to get a chance to use one when I was 13. And that was
:19:11. > :19:18.the moment? I got addicted. And it paid off. The founder of Microsoft.
:19:19. > :19:23.The old video and then you. This one on his deck at his home in Seattle
:19:24. > :19:26.proving even the richest man in Seattle isn't even afraid to take
:19:27. > :19:30.the plunge. Who came up with the contraption? A friend of mine said
:19:31. > :19:36.they would all look the same. But not Bill Gates. Tonight his focus is
:19:37. > :19:42.Ebola and he has hope that we can contain it. Over the next 60 days we
:19:43. > :19:44.will get on top of it. I hope to see you right back here tomorrow. From
:19:45. > :20:00.all of us, good night. Once again, a cloudy start to the
:20:01. > :20:03.new day on Wednesday for many parts of the British Isles and as a
:20:04. > :20:06.consequence it won't be a very cold start. Temperatures locked into the
:20:07. > :20:08.teens in a number of
