course, by we i mean them. time for the newsroom. let's get to carol costello, also anxiously awaiting the gorgeous george christening pictures. >> man, i've been waiting since last tuesday. are you kidding? thanks, guys. >> sarcasm we do not sense any at all. >> none at all. have a great day. thank you so much. >> bye, girl. >> "the newsroom" starts now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com happening now in "the newsroom" a cnn exclusive. >> did you ever talk about resigning to the president? >> what i talked about is doing the job that i came here to do. >> the woman behind the flailing, floundering obama care website one on one. >> why didn't they bring their "a" team in in the first place? also cross-continent custody drama. >> the estimation of maria she may be 5 or 6 years old. >> reporter: a blond haired blue eyed little girl and any new twist in the case.

plus a royal affair. baby prince george set to be christened this hour, how will william and catherine break from tradition this time? and betty white takes on miley cyrus? get ready to kiss your sledgehammer. you're live in the "cnn newsroom." we'll talk about betty bhit in a bit. i'm carol costello. we start with breaking news out of massachusetts, and it's curious, we have learned that all schools are closed in the boston suburb of danvers while police investigate a murder. we're expecting a news conference from police at any moment. you're going to see a picture soon from our affiliate wcvb. police say danvers high school is a crime scene and cnn's affiliate whdh is reporting a 14-year-old student is in custody after a teacher was found dead at danvers high

school. police are saying there is no threat to public safety at this time, but every school in this district is closed this morning. we'll keep you updated on the situation as we learn more. on to other news this morning, inkreeg, insults and another major embarrassment for the white house. this mornin a national security official is out of work for twit ear tacks on republicans and even his fellow obama insiders. jaffe joseph is booted as director for the national security council. he tweeted his insults under an alias, including this shot at president obama's senior adviser, "i'm a fan of obama but his continuing reliance and dependence upon a vacuous cipher like valerie jarrett concerns me." jim acosta is at the white house this morning with more. good morning, jim. >> reporter: good morning, carol. what we can tell you is that a white house official tells cnn

the director of nonproliferation at the national security council at the white house was fired immediately when his identification was known, when his name was traced back to this twitter account handle which has now been taken offline. it was @natsecwalk and under that twitter handle as you mentioned a number of off-color remarks made about administration officials and top republicans. show you some on screen, this one about sarah palin. it says "so when will someone do us the favor of getting rid of sarah palin and the rest of her" this is quoting here from this tweet "white trash family? what utter useless garbage." another tweet about huma abedin, also the wife of former new york mayoral candidate anthony weiner and this tweet goes "was huma

abedin wearing beer goggles the night she met anthony weiner?" he was fired by white house officials and we should point out we've been trying to make attempts to confirm this with mr. joseph. he released a statement to politico apologizing. "it has been a privilege to serve in this administration and i deeply regret violating the trust and confidence placed in me. what started out as an intended parody account of d.c. culture developed over time into a series of inappropriate and mean-spirited comments. i bear complete responsibility for this affair and i sincerely apologize to everyone i insulted." that from jofi joseph, to politico. and carol, this has the potential to at least temporarily offer a brief distraction from everything that has been going on with obama care and all the technical problems with the website. we should point out a little bit of news happening later today, insurance industry executives from the health care industry will be over here at the white house, meeting with senior administration officials including the secretary of health and human services, kathleen sebelius.

we're hearing she will also be at the meeting. >> nicely sets up our next story, jim acosta to the white house. now to the other pr nightmare the botched rollout of the obama care website left thousands of americans angry and frustrated. after three weeks the progress is being made on repairs to the website and reducing problems. kathleen sebelius the nation's health chief and the person most responsible for the site sat down for an exclusive interview with dr. sanjay gupta. >> what will tech people? can you give us some names? >> right now we've asked all of our contractors to look at their teams on the ground and bring in their absolute "a" team and i'm confident that is happening every day. >> the contractors didn't do such a great job so far. why didn't they bring their "a" team in, in the first place? >> i can't tell you -- >> why are we saying three weeks

now bring your "a" team into this equation? >> we hoped they had their "a" team on the table and i'm talking to ceos and urging them to make sure we have the talent they have available. i think all of them have folks who are assigned to a project. we want new eyes and ears. we want to make sure that we get all the questions on the table that we get all the answers and accelerate the fix as quickly as possible. >> open enrollment goes for six months until the end of march. when will this get fixed? >> as quickly as we can. it's improving every day and more people are getting through, more people are having an easier time and we intend to stay at this until we open the doors wide open. >> do we deserve a specific date? what can we tell people, because there's a little bit of a loss of confidence in this. so if you say as quickly as possible, that meant october

1st. >> we can tell you it isn't where it needs to be. we are three weeks into a 26-week open enrollment peemt. people are enrolling every day, not at the volume we would like and. >> the president's legacy is part of this whole issue as well. has it been tarnished by what has happened? >> i think that what we need to do is see the enrollment figures at the end of march of 2014. that's when open enrollment ends and what i know from what we're seeing states is people are eager to have this affordable product and the product is there. insurance companies have to compete for people's business for the first time. >> carol, you can see that secretary did come back to this

overall mission over and over again, this idea people may have health shoornz at tinsurance at the six months than before. she's not talking about resigning. i did ask her about the individual mandate and said look, if it's been so hard and so cumbersome to enroll, can you penalize people for not doing so? and she sort of dodged that question. look, this is not the time to be asking that question or addressing that. who knows if that means it may come up later on but for now carol the individual mandate, requiring we all buy health care insurance if we don't have it, that stays in place. carol, back to you. >> those fines will take effect. secretary sebelius will take part in a new initiative, an administration source telling us that while white house officials and even cabinet secretaries will visit ten cities with the highest rates of uninsured americans. they'll encourage enrollment and when the first events take place

later this week we will be covering them. sorry about that, got that out for you. eight minutes past, top story, surveillance video capturing a bizarre incident at the utah state capitol. man drove his pickup up the west entrance and walked into the building and after trying to break into a secured area was forced to the ground by state troopers. the man may face charges, troopers still don't know exactly why he did this. remember this horrible video of bikers attacking a family in an suv? new york city police arrested a ninth person, jason brown, first-degree gang assault. he's accused of hitting the suv driver with his helmet. more arrests could be made in the case. the start of the 2014 tax season will be delayed a week or two and you can thank the government shutdown. irs workers have to catch up on a lot of other work before they can start looking at your tax forms. you can forget about the filing deadline being pushed back. oh, no, no, no, you still have to do that by april 15th.

for the second time in a week police have taken a young girl from a roma family, this time in ireland, the case has a striking similarity to the case in greece, people are searching for the parents of maria, after she was found with a roma couple who looked nothing like her. police are narrowing down the investigation to see if she is a missing child. cnn's erin mclaughlin has more from dublin. >> reporter: in a dublin suburb less than 48 hours ago, the police known as gardi here took a little girl in the hands of social services. >> we were told she had blue eyes, told she was around 7 years of age, told she had blond hair. mother and the father produced documentation as i understand it but the gardi were not satisfied with that. >> reporter: thousands of miles away in greece, police are searching for the parents of another fair haired girl known only as maria.

she was found living with the roma community there. the couple posing as her parents now charged with child abduction. >> the claim is that we never abduct this child. we've just adopted. >> reporter: interpol says maria's dna does not match any profile in the data base it is being compared to lisa irwin. >> just the fact we don't know for sure is enough. >> reporter: lisa vanished from her parents' kansas city home two years ago and though they believe maria is too old to be a match, u.s. authorities want to be certain. >> i think the estimation of maria, she may be 5 or 6 years old but the fact is that the dna will be conclusive to tell us one way or the other. >> reporter: the common thread in ireland and greece, the roma community, its members have long been victims of discrimination throughout europe and its connection to these two cases has created even more public

scrutiny. though not in the eyes of u.s. authorities. >> they're not looking at the romas as being the originators of this vast, you know, international child abduction conspiracy. unfortunately, there are crime groups, if there's money to be made and if it's made in human trafficking, they'll traffic human being including infants and small children to do it. >> reporter: i have spoken to the family of the little girl here in ireland, her picture, she has blue eyes and fair hair. they insist she is their biological daughter, they have submitted to dna testing and hope to have her back by the end of the day. carol? >> erin mclaughlin reporting live for us this morning. still to come in "the newsroom" -- >> there's a kid with a gun. >> reporter: the dramatic 911 calls from the nevada school shooting as it happened, new detail this is morning on the hero teacher who lost his life saving his students.

also, colorado rebuilds. >> in terms of trying to get back to normal. >> well right now this is normal. >> reporter: we're live in the town of lyons, as the small town comes together. plus charges filed in that ugly fight at the jets/patriots game.

there are three, count 'em, three house hearings on obama care, only one next week will feature the woman in the hot seat, that would be health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius. the thing is, do we need three

house hearings to determine the owe pa ma care exchanges are not working? don't we already know that? joining me now is republican congressman cory gardner of colorado. good morning, congressman. >> good morning. >> thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me on. >> the rollout was terrible, debacle, you can use more adjectives but flat-out horrible. what more can we learn when sebelius is only in one house hearing? >> the questions we have to ask is why red flags weren't raised during the development of the software, they were but they were ignored, what did the secretary know and understand to be taking place and why were we as oversight committees told everything would be ready and good to go when clearly that is not the case. >> couldn't all of that be found out in one house hearing? >> all of us have expertise in different areas talking about the government oversight committee reform committee, expertise in different areas, our committee will bring more of

a technical expertise on the software, the actual technology in place and the actual oversight of the health care bill itself so i think it's important that we have insight and input from all of these committees who do share expertise in the different areas that the healthcare.gov, the exchanges and secretary sebelius are going to be talking about. >> isn't there a difference between solving problems, finding out what the problems are and extracting a pound of flesh? i think the american people are hearing little about solutions to this problem and a lot about fire the bum. which is it, solving problems or extracting a pound of flesh? >> it's clearly about solving problems. "the "chicago tribune"" said the glitch isn't just in the software itself but in the law, the obama care bill itself, the language of the law that will result in higher health care costs, people losing their insurance plans they were promised they could keep. the primary promiless the president made if you had a health care plan this will keep it and lower the cost of care

the promises are not coming true. >> let me get these straight these house hearings are not about solving the problems, this is about getting rid of obama care. >> they're very much about solving the problem. the american people are going to be forced into health care exchanges that don't work and so when you're looking at your family's situation and you have to buy insurance because that's what the law says, you're now being forced into a series of websites that do not work. it's not just healthcare.gov. look at the colorado-based health care exchange it's not working either. there are serious glitches with that technology. >> that's different from what you first said because what you said -- >> into it's not. >> you said you're going to find out why more red flags were raised, good question, why the president didn't know there were problems, good questions, like who's at fault, good questions, but now it's gone into the same old, same old, getting rid of obama care. >> it's not the same old same old. >> that's what i'm hearing now. >> why does cnn get exempt from

obama care when the american people are not exempt from obama care? >> i have health insurance through my employer. if i did not have a job i would not be exempt from obama care. >> your employer, your employer is exempt from obama care. the president made the decision -- >> see we're talking about the same thing we did with the government shutdown. >> you're actually trying to confuse the issue. carol let me talk about this more. i'm going to answer the question. >> let me go right to the point that the reason the president will not fire sebelius is because lawmakers would not confirm any new nominee as in the republicans in the senate. jim antley, former top aide to harry reid told politico "no one the administration could pick to replace sebelius could ever be confirmed, not even the lord himself. the amimous is such they would find someone to criticize him." namely if the president nominates a health and services secretary and that person supports obama care there's no way the senate would support

that person. >> i'm not here talking about firing kathleen sebelius. i think very much as you go to court with evidence, you don't shred the evidence before you find out what happened. we need secretary sebelius to explain to us what happened, those red flags you mentioned are very important. so to go back to the first point, i'm not trying to defend obama care at all. i'm not trying to defend a principle of delaying it. we know the american people are going to be forced into a system that isn't ready for prime time. whether that's delaying obama care, whether that's scrapping obama care, that's what this is about in terms of making sure it works for the american people so the solution that you asked for instead of defending obama care at all costs, the solution is to make sure it doesn't bear on the american people because the american people are going to be forced to buy insurance that they may not want through a website that may not work and the president is saying no we're going to go forward with this and we don't have the answers. why were red flags ignored, why were people told it incumbent' going to work and it's going forward. this is important for the american people.

>> all valid questions. i want to ask one last question. will there be any talk about making these exchanges work better or is that off the table? >> well i think that's what the conversation is tomorrow, what is going to happen, how much did they cost, why did they use 10-year-old technology. >> i asked you is there going to be talk about how to make these exchanges work? >> we have four people coming tomorrow to talk about what happened and what they're going to do, absolutely but the real glitch is in the law itself. and so not only do you have a problem with the website that people are going to be forced to use, they're going to be forced to buy a product that doesn't work because the law itself doesn't work. >> congressman cory gardner from colorado thank you for joining me this morning. >> thank you for having me, thanks. still to come in "the newsroom," just releelsed 911 tapes reveal the terror inside a nevada middle school including students calling for help after a beloved teacher is shot. ido more with less with buless energy.

teacher approach the gunman, and then the gunman is pointing the gun towards the teacher, and he fires a shot at the teacher, and then everybody started screaming and running. >> reporter: officials say 45-year-old mike landsberry, the popular math teacher and coach, calmly walked toward the shooter, hands raised, trying to convince him to put the gun down. >> mr. landsberry's heroic actions stepping toward the shooter allowed other students to flee the area. >> reporter: landsberry has been hailed a hero. the decorated marine playing the role of batman as the students affectionately called him. >> he was a soldier with us but he was always a teacher. he wanted to always be there for the kids. >> reporter: landsberry leaves a wife and two stepdaughters. his wife sharon posted this on facebook, "he was my everything, my world, he touched so many lives and was an incredible man." >> stephanie elam joins us live.

what do we know about this boy's parents? >> reporter: well, at this point carol we know they have some police protection grappling with the loss of hair son and the acts he committed. as the investigation continues if it is found that the parents were negligent in how they kept this weapon, if it did in fact blopg belong to them they could potentially face charges but none of that has been disclosed at this time. >> stephanie elam reporting live from sparks, nevada. still to come in "the newsroom" a big day for a little guy, prince george will be christened this hour and the ceremony will break from royal tradition. we'll be right back. this was the hardest decision i've ever had to make. jim, i adore the pool at your hotel. anna, your hotels have wondrous waffle bars. ryan, your hotels' robes are fabulous. i have twelve of them.

to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto®, jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto®. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine.

nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto® and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is not for patients with artificial heart valves. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto®. once a day xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring -- no known dietary restrictions. for more information and savings options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com. and our giant idaho potato truck is still missing. so my dog and i we're going to go find it. it's out there somewhere spreading the good word about idaho potatoes

>> good morning, i'm carol costello. thank you so much for joining me. it is a big day in britain for a 3-month-old baby boy. prince george, the third in line to the throne will be christened in a few minutes. let's bring in our royal expert kate williams joining us live from buckingham palace. good morning, kate. >> reporter: good morning to you, carol. >> i like how they describe it a private affair with 22 people invited. >> that's it. we normally see christening as big affairs. prince william in buckingham palace, 60 guests and a huge banquet afterwards. prince george, seven godparents, there's the queen, prince phi p philip, charles and camilla, not that many spaces for other royals so a private family inmat ceremony and that's what kate and william want. >> i see all of the people

outside of st. james palace. will the car drive by, will the couple get out with the royal baby? >> reporter: oh there are crowds everywhere, all the well wishers. we've seen kate and william go behind news buckingham palace, haven't seen the queen yet. we don't know, probably a quick shot of them going in. we'll unlikely see george so we all have to wait until the pictures come out and that's tomorrow evening. there were no cameras allowed during the ceremony today so it is very private and secret. we have to wait until tomorrow evening. >> you know what everyone is really going to be noticing is what prince george will be wearing as in his christening gown. i know that sounds so silly but you know that that will be pointed and many people will buy whatever he's wearing. >> reporter: what he's going to be wearing, that's the touch of history. he's going to be wearing a replica of the same christening gown that every royal baby has worn since 1841, that was queen victoria's daughter, her first child and worn by every baby including william, including

charles, but in 004 the queen thought it was looking a little bit fragile so she had a replica made. that's what george will be wearing. it's frilly and many babies don't like it. it's much more of a modern ceremony like kate's christening, the williams. >> who is going to be the godfather and the godmother? >> reporter: yes, you've got the seven godparents announced this morning. that's a bit of a surprise to us royal watchers. we were expecting six. seven is even more and we were expecting perhaps a few royals in there but only one royal and that's princess anne's daughter. she is herself the daughter of a prince princess. they don't get titles so she's the only royal on the list is not a princess. the rest of them are friends from school, friends from university, a friend of princess diana. william and kate are saying they want their friends to look after prince george to give him spiritual guidance not necessarily the royals. an interesting choice. >> interesting. we're going to cut away from

you, kate, you stay right there and when the prince and princess come out with or pop out of the car with their little baby we'll go back to britain. thank you so much, kate. let's talk about gas prices in the united states. when was the last time you filled up your tank, oh, just this morning? you've noticed gas prices are going down. according to aaa, the price for a regular gallon of gas is just under $3.35. that would be the lowest level since january and guess what? prices may keep falling. alison kosik is at the new york stock exchange to tell us why. good morning. >> good morning, finally some good news where gas prices are concerned. carol, one estimate is putting gas prices around $3.10 a gallon, $3.20ish by christmas, that's 15 to 25 cents lower than where we are now. where are we now? gas prices are at a nine-month low after a jump at the beginning of the year. we are seeing gas prices really, really falling especially since july, that's actually when oil

prices began falling. they were at $100 a barrel in july, but then prices have been falling since then and as you know gas prices and oil prices tend to move in lock step. oil prices are falling because the government says we have plenty of supplies on hand. also we're seeing that demand is dropping and part of that is because people are driving less in the winter and also because of the weak economy so it's not just here in the u.s. but it's also around the world so the weak economy part makes it kind of a double edged sword but it's nice to have to do a double take at the gas station and say wow those prices are down, carol. >> i know, so refreshing. let me tell you. >> so refreshing, yes. >> the opening bell just rang, what can we expect today? >> looks like the bulls are taking a breather, the dow is down about 50 points. it's following a drop overseas. not such a huge surprise to see a decline in stocks after four days of record especially looking at the s&p 500 but reality may be setting in. the jobs report quite frankly

was weak. it means the fed is going to prop up the economy, but here is the problem with that. it shows that the economy isn't recovering as quickly as we'd like. also some companies are coming out and saying they're still feeling it, too, in fact, caterpillar today said it's not going to make as much money as it initially expected this year and also saying that economic growth could be under pressure next year. we are seeing caterpillar shares down almost 6%, so you're seeing this trickle-down of the slowing economy going right into company's pocket books. >> alison kosik reporting live from the new york stock exchange. i'll take you out near boston one more time, these are aerial photos of danvers high school in the boston suburb of danvers. the officials closed every single school in this district today because a teacher was found dead. 14-year-old student has been arrested. he's being investigated for a possible homicide? the essex county district attorney just held a news conference. we're going through that right

now so question ferret out more information on that. more after a break. we'll be right back.

begin. actually they're awaiting at rifle of prince george with his parents and of course when they all arrive, we will go back to britain live. we have kate williams now. kate williams, hi, what are they doing in front of st. james palace now? >> reporter: what's happening at the moment is the middletons have just arrived so kate's parents have just arrived, michael and carol middleton have arrived and the archbishop of canterbury is waiting there for kate, william and baby george. we've seen them from buckingham palace behind me so the royal party has left and we should expect to see them going in, in a few minutes' time. kate we've heard is wearing cream, nothing else so far. we know prince george is wearing the historic christening robe every baby has worn since 1841, a replica. can't wait to see him. >> we'll break away and when they arrive we'll go back to you, kate thanks so much. we'll take a break and be back with much more in "the

[ male announcer ] truth is that won't relieve all your symptoms. new alka seltzer plus-d relieves more sinus symptoms than any other behind the counter liquid gel. oh what a relief it is.

we are keeping a close eye on two story this is morning. danvers schools closed outside of boston while police investigate the murder of a teacher. and in london at any moment the royal christening of little prince george. let's head to britain, we expect kate and william to arrive at any moment with their baby. you can see the archbishop of canterbury ready to perform the christening ceremony. kate williams our royal watcher is also standing by. guests are arriving with fancy hats, i'm assuming they are the invited guests of the couple. >> reporter: really exciting. it's really hotting up now the day we've been waiting for since prince george was born in july. what's happening now the guests are going in, we've seen the middleton parents going in and also the other guests. we know there are 23 invited guests to the christening,

that's not that many when you have the queen and prince philip and charles and camilla and prince harry. those guests are in there and seated. what is most important the queen arrives last. william and kate we've seen them go behind us. the queen has not yet left buckingham palace but she's on her way. when she goes that's the signal, when she arrives finally the christening can start. that's the really exciting moment when little prince george will be ushered into his future as a future king and also supreme head of the church of england. >> so kate and william are already there? >> reporter: kate and william are there. they haven't gotten out of the car. we haven't seen them go through. they have arrived at the palace so they are at st. james' palace. they are there but we haven't seen them get out and walk across with prince george. that's the only moment we'll get to see them but as we know there are no cameras inside the ceremony so we're not going to have cameras inside the ceremony so we have to wait and see and find out what happens when the pictures come out later. >> i was afraid we'd miss them,

that's the moment i want to see. i know that's silly but i do, i want to see them with their baby. >> reporter: absolutely. >> these are kate's parents but this is tape, right, because they've already arrived or are they going into the church? these are live pictures, kate? >> reporter: yes, really thrilling. we can't wait to see the real moment when prince george is christened using water from the river jordan and using a font made for queen victoria. >> so what role will the queen play in all of this? she arrives last, that's satisfactory ceremonial, right? but she'll just be an observer when she's in the room, right? >> reporter: she'lling the number one guest. but exactly, as you say, she'll just be a guest. she'll be sitting at the front. she is, of course, the great

grandmother of the little baby. she isn't godmother or anything. it will all be about william, kate, prince george and also the archbishop of canterbury. and it's the first time that she's had three he irs of the thrown with her. >> it seems that kate and william are doing everything right. just endearing them themselves ever more. >> reporter: they're popularity couldn't get any higher. there are so many well wishers. you can hardly move with the crowds of people. their popularity is really high. and i think it's because they seem so normal and down to earth. they don't want the royal pomp. they're trying to give prince george a normal life, a normal life as can be possible. and we really like the way

they've chosen friends as the godparents. >> and prince harry is one of the godparents,' right? >> reporter: he is not once of the godparents. one is -- >> wait a minute. why wouldn't he be chosen as a godparent? >> reporter: well, it's because he already has such a big role in his life. prince harry would be in charge of him with kate as regent. he's always going to be the knotty favorite uncle. he and prince george are going to be thick as thieves. he's made to the knotty you uncle. you can see it. >> i can, actually. it's one of the reasons that i really like prince harry. has he arrived yet, by the way? >> reporter: prince harry should be already in the ceremony.

we haven't seen him get going in an official sense but that's because he's just a guest. we're waiting for the biggest, that's the queen and prince philip. there's been a small gathering before the christening. but after the christening there's going to be a big party. and that's where we're going to engage in one of our strangest british there decisions. remember the top tier of the wedding cake, that's what they have as a christening cake. basically in britain, we take the top of the wedding cake and wait two years and take it and eat it at the christening. a bit odd. but that's how we do it here in britain. >> we'll be back with more right after this.

the actual time of the christening was changes because the queen had a reception here at buckingham palace. they were the first. they were the first to enter. the queen wearing a beautiful blue outfit. and it's such a joyous occasion. far more joyous than other ones. >> thank you so much kate. cnn news will continue. actually our next hour will begin right after this. stick with innovation. stick with power. stick with technology. get the flexcare platinum. new from philips sonicare.

good morning, i'm carol costello. thank you for joining me. we do start with breaking news. this is out of massachusetts, police in danvers, massachusetts, that's near boston, confirmed that a teacher's body was found in the woods near danvers high school. now all the schools in the district are closed while police investigate what they term a murder. >> reporter: hi, carom. shocking and stunning news, especially for the people who live in danvers. police revealing and the district attorney's office that a 14-year-old young man is now charged with murder in connection with the death of a math teacher at danvers high school. her name is colleen ritzer.

she teaches math. and her body was found in the woods behind the high school last night. now at the same time this 14-year-old apparently had been missing since yesterday, they had been looking for him. and they spotted him about 6:30 last night at a movie theater about five miles or so away from the school. and eventually found him overnight walking on a road somewhat near the high school as well. and picked him up. he is now in custody. how did they find him? we're told through the use of social media, including facebook and twitter. but they're not releasing dames about exactly how that social media was used to locate him. very few details as well about how this murder happened. other than to say blood was found in a second floor bathroom, i think it was, in the high school. in any case, they're now trying

to piece all of this together. authorities know the identity of the young man but are not releasing it at this time because of his age. he's a juvenile. we will keep that name under wraps for now. >> unbelievable. now i want to bring in our law enforcement analysts, mike brooks. he's on the phone. they closed every single school in this district. why would they do that? >> reporter: they're going to go ahead and close the high school because it still possibly be a crime scene. they decided to shut down the five elementary schools and one middle school and high school where the crime apparently took place in the second floor bathroom. and they're going to be serving a search warrant on the 14-year-old's house. and they want to know if he was acting alone. that's one of the other things. while they're conducting the investigation, they probably decided to go ahead and shut all

of the schools down out of an abundance of caution in case this kid was not acting by himself. out of an abundance of caution, while they sort things out and have an active crime scene there at the high school, they just decided to control all of the schools. >> we've seen so much violence taking place in schools across the country. this one is striking, it seems to be so planned and targeted. >> reporter: yeah, it does. and we don't know the relationship, also, between this 14-year-old and the 24-year-old teacher. we don't know the relationship right now. we're seeing so many of these incidents in school. is it because of associate media? we just had the one in nevada. in fact, i was just in philadelphia last week at the international association of chiefs of police conference, and

this is one of the issues that they're dealing with, violence in schools. we keep seeing this. and hopefully we're going to see, you know, see some of this not happen anymore. but you never know. it just seems every day there's something new. but the main thing in this case is finding out what the relationship was between the two and if he was acting alone. >> lots of unanswered questions this morning. mike brooks thank you for joining us. and just a recap, 24-year-old colleen ritzer was found dead behind the high school. and they found blood in the second floor bathroom inside the school. they placed under arrest a 14-year-old student and since he's a juvenile, they're not releasing his name. and we don't know the relationship between the 14-year-old and the 24-year-old

teacher. we don't know if he was in her class. and we don't know anything. susan candy yachty is on the case. intrigue and another embarrassment for the white house in morning. a national security official is out of work for twitter attacks on republicans. jofi joseph is booted from his job. he tweeted inconsults under an alias. and quote, i'm a fan of obama. but his continuing reliance and dependence upon a vakuous cipher like valerie jarrett concerns me. >> reporter: good morning. that's right. it is a cautionary tale about the dangers of social media and firing off on twitter. and probably a cautionary tale about not being a very nice

person. and joseph was immediately fired, white house officials say, once his identity was learned that he was behind this fake twitter account or this account this was being operated by him. let's show you some of the other tweets that he was putting out there. not just about administration officials, but also about republican and democraticic figures. one about the. she was tweeting about how she was wrapping up a busy day at the assembly. and he modified that tweet and added to that, tweets like this are why so many people are soured on you. and then another one about huma aberdin. was she wearing beer goggles the night she met anthony weiner?

it appears that he had a very important job here at the white house. he was the director of nonproliferation for the national security council. it reads, it's an a privilege to serve in the administration. i deeply regret violating the trust and confidence placed -- i bear complete responsibility for this affair and i sincerely apologize to everyone i insulted. this has been going on for a couple of years, carol, according to the daily beast which broke the story. and it is offering a brief temporary distraction from the glitches and technical problems with the obama care website. we should point out that later on this afternoon, kathleen sebelius and top officials will be meeting with the insurance industry. again, one of those meetings basically has to deal with making sure that the process in

implementing obama care is a little smoother than it has been lately. >> thanks. one of the florida inmates accused of using fake documents to get oust jail made another appearance in court following his capture this weekend. he had been serving a life sentence for murder when he was mistakenly released. we're at the courthouse with more. >> reporter: good morning. ironically this is the very same jail where these two men had come after they were released from the prison mistakenly several weeks ago. this is the prison they came through and remgsterreds a felon. they spent time here in orlando before realizing that investigators were trying to track them down again and then they went on the run before being captured over the weekend. now investigators are still continuing the process session of trying to figure out how in the world they were able to use

forged documents to get out of the prison system and have their sentences reduced. investigators say they have removed computers from the prison area where inmates could use them and had access to them. they're going through that. and also talking with family members and say that some of the family members are cooperating. investigators say that charles walker and joseph jenkins are not cooperating. and they're still trying to piece together how all of this was pulled off and how it could have happened. and they acknowledge that this isn't the only time this has happened. five other instances where inmates have used forged documents to either try to have charges erased or have those charges and punishments le lessened. >> reporting liefrg from orlando this morning. a lot going on this morning.

i want to take you live to washington right now. eric cantor from virginia is talking about obama care and why we don't know how many people have enrolled in the program. let's listen. >> it doesn't make any sense to impose this 1% mandate tax on the american people. that why we republicans remain committed to delaying the mandate tax of obama care so that finally wk get the answers that so many people are seeking and we can try and reassure the millions of americans who are growing in their fear about what this all means for their health care. >> it's another day and a new glitch for the obama care rollout. that's why only 12% of americans, the latest cbs poll, says that ''s going well. listen to the president do the press conference, we will handle it and fix it, it just rings

back to the moment when he was proposing obama care and said if you had your health care and you liked it, you could keep it. it's not a glitch when american citizen receives a letter and says, their current health care, they will no longer have it. many of the constituents that i have have come out to see the frustration, that it is not fair and they don't have the health care and they can keep it. and if they go on to the website, they cannot see what they have now. when you look back and look at the arguments, complaints, none of that goes away. i think the focus will now be on where is the account ability in the process and where are the answers. >> moms, dads, seniors, young people continue to struggle all across this country. whether it is those that are out of work trying to find a job and the economy that continues to struggle, or those that are trying to get health insurance

or losing their health insurance or having trouble getting health insurance. as leaders here in congress, our commitment is to continue to work on issues that are going to create jobs and opportunities. and also to make sure that people have access to quality and affordable health care. concerns are coming in every day right now. and the concern that actually this health care law is going to make it harder and worse for more people than it's going to help. that's why we're launching the www dot gop.gov to share your story so that we can go to work to ensure that moving forward we can take the action to help individuals, give them the protections that they need with this -- the delay of the individual mandate, the tax, the fee that they are facing that employers have been given a pass on, we need to provide that

fairness to vimds and families all across this country. >> conen said the other night, obama is now urging americans having trouble with the website to call a 1-800 number. and that was 1-800-we didn't think this through. all of the jokes go on and on and on. but nothing is funny about -- >> we're going to step away with this. but you hear the house leadership talking about the problems that obama care, at least the exchanges are experiencing. and how possibly the gop could either fix obama care or get rid of it. we'll hear much more about this throughout the afternoon. told you a lot was going on this morning, i'm going to take you now to columbus, ohio. you are looking at live pictures inside a courtroom there where a man who confessed in a viral

video to killing a man is being sentenced. remember matthew cordle? he made the violent video and take full responsibility for killing a man in a drunk driving incident. and he begged others not to drink and drive in that video. he told a judge in the court hearing he couldn't even remember that night because he blacked out after too much drinking. there he is. he faces a possible 8 1/2 years behind bars. let's listen. >> i'm sorry. >> i can remember him when he was in grade school. he's a graduate, 22 years old. lives in -- >> i'm going to give you a chance to make a statement, but i want to proceed with the video at this time. so if you're making a statement relative to sentencing, i'm going to ask that you withhold that. >> okay. >> okay? >> yes. >> is there anything that you would like to add?

>> no, your honor. but i have the video cued up. >> if you dim the lights, i think it is time to see the video. >> all right, we're going to step away from this. we'll continue to monitor this for you. but we have to take a break. we'll be right back. stick with innovation. stick with power. stick with technology. get the flexcare platinum. new from philips sonicare. could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. everybody knows that. well, did you know that when a tree falls in the forest and no one's around, it does make a sound? ohhh...ohhh...oh boy! i'm falling. everybody look out!

conference. let's listen. >> do you plan to bring up immigration legislation? >> i still think it's an important subject that needs to be addressed. and i'm hopeful. >> speaker boehner, as you know your party took quite a hit after the polls. and you just personally came from a meeting with your members. how concerned are they and you about potentially losing the house? >> as long as we stay focused on the priorities of the american people, we're going to be fine. they're concerned about their jobs, income, and concerned about their own health insurance and how they're going to be able to afford it and navigate through this bizarre plan that they now have to deal with. our job is stay focused on the issues that the american people are most concerned about. if we do that, we'll be just fine. thanks everybody. >> we're going to step away

again and talk a little bit about what he just mentioned. today kathleen sebelius heads to the white house to meet with insurance execs about obama care. but next week she'll head to congress to testify to a house committee on the obama site rollout. one question on a lot of minds is whether or not president obama will fire sebelius or if shell step down in the wake of this fiasco. in an exclusive interview with dr. sanjay gupta, she had this to say. >> you know there's a lot of frustrations. if this persists or at this point now, would you consider resigning over this? >> i think my job is to get this fully implemented and get the website working right. that's really what i'm focused on. i work at the pleasure of the president. he is singularly focussed on

making sure we deliver on this promise 6789 that's what i'm committed to doing. >> democratic congresswoman sheila jackson of texas joins me life now. >> glad to be here with you this morning. >> i know you said we need to stop talking about firing someone and start talking about fixing the website. but i mean, come on, shouldn't kathleen sebelius be fired? >> this issue is about saving yourself. last week 144 members of the republican conference, the republicans voted to keep the government shutdown. and as everyone in mesh goes that was a republican shutdown of the government for 17 days. now with the light shining, republicans want to make a political stand on whether obama care is helping americans. and americaning now are growing steadily more -- >> if i could interrupt. i'm talking about kathleen sebelius and the dreadful rollout of the obama care

exchanges. shouldn't someone be held accountable for that? and the woman at the top would be kathleen sebelius. >> and i think the president has the faith in the secretary of hhs inspite of the mountains and valleys that we had to go through. 45% of the american people are beginning to see in a positive view of obama care. that number is going to grow. california has enrolled already 94,000 people. governor of ohio, republican governor, has now gotten his wish with expanded medicaid for ohio. celebrate him. that means more poor people will be able to get health insurance. this program is not about politics, carol. it's about helping people get -- >> i'm not talking about politics. i'm saying, it's been a dreadful rollout of these exchanges. it's made obama care look bad.

why shouldn't someone's head roll for that? really, shouldn't anyone be held accountable? >> you know i'm not going to step away from the word "accountable." we're going to do that. right now i believe it's important that the task, the team that is working around the clock or working at night to fix these problems, i think that's a good news story that we should talk about. and with respect to a rollout, there was a rollout of a number of and a half garretts and outreach efforts, all that is going well. and -- the phone -- the 1-800 number is just buzzing with 30,000 calls, 20 seconds in wait. there are many ways to be able to ep gauge and find out about the affordable care act. >> but wouldn't it send a message to the american people that he has this under control if someone pays a price for the

dreadful rollout? >> i think he was very much in control when he was in the rose garden and indicated how mad he was and that he wanted people to jump and really stay in the air until this got fixed. i don't think anyone doubts the president's sensitivities about what is happening. and he is the president of the united states. he's head of this nation. he'll make those decisions maybe ultimately down the road. i don't think the secretary should be fired. she's out on the road and helped bring in a task force. i'll be sending a letter adding additional names and recommendations of people i've run across so that as many people as we can find to focus their attention on this issue. that's the crux of this issue, not about who is going to be fired. >> let me put it this way. kathleen sebelius told sanjay

gupta that president obama did not know about the problems until a few days into the launch. how can that be? if i was responsible of putting my boss' signature program on line and i didn't tell him there were problems and i left him in the dark, my boss would be really angry at me and maybe even fear my. >> what i would say to you, is you're absolutely right. and president obama was azamat as he could possibly be. and i would imagine that the thought processes, right or wrong was, we can fix this for the boss. the boss is focused on the government shutdown. as you well-known, it started being shut down between september 30th and october 1st. so i imagine what they thought was, we can fix this, we've been working on this. we know technology problems will come about, but we're ready to fix it. and the boss has a lot of other issues. i don't think it was a hide and

seek game. it wasn't anything to keep the president from knowing. he's enormously engaged with his cabinet officers. but if you don't have anything to talk about, as my good friends, all you have to talk about it is the bad, bad, posture you're in as known as the government shutdown, then you've got to find something that will uplift you. and frankly the american people have moved on. 45% are having a favorable view. more are going to get online and use the phone calls. i know my seniors and others in my community, everyone i went over the weekend, they were "raising america"ing and excited about the opportunity for better health care for them and their families. >> thank you so much for being with me. i have to leave it there. we'll be right back. ♪ nothing says, "you're my #1 copilot," like a milk-bone biscuit. ♪

♪ your ticket to a better night's sleep ♪ the obama white house once again reeling from a self-inflicted wound. the latest embarrassment come on heels of the bumbled website. a national security official is out of work for twitter attacks on republicans. jofi joseph is booted from his job. he tweeted his insults under an alias including this at president obama's senior advisor and trusted friend. quote, i'm a fan of obama. but his continuing reliance and dependence upon a cipher like

valerie jarrett offends me. our panel joins me. welcome to both of you. my biggest problem with this is why it took them two years to figure out who was the anonymous twitter. >> yeah. this guy is in the building tweeting, he has to be on his phone. but firing him over this. we had to see more of the twees. it's kind of inappropriate. so i can understand him being fired. but the obama administration is very thin skinned. >> you want to hear more tweets. eye going to read more for you two. here is another one. so when will someone do us the favor of getting raid of sarah palin and the rest her white trash family. and another one, was huma aber din wearing beer goggles the

night she met anthony weiner? these are really inappropriate. >> maybe -- i disagree with jason. from the text and tweets we've seen here, the guy deserves to be fired. it's not about -- when you see scandals and issues like this come, people often invoke the first amendment. if you say things that embarrass your employer, prepare to be fired. this guy deserves to go. there is a larger story. and that is that the obama administration's thin skin, he mentioned the record prosecution of leaks. there's a consistency in the obama administration of going after people who embarrass the administration but not those who take shots or cover for the administration. >> and you really do have a point. i felt it first hand when i was reporting on the presidential race. i mean, president obama's people

can be quite nasty. they don't like you to say anything about your boss and they're not afraid to use whatever means they have at hand to stop you from doing that. >> yeah. this is still really bad. and i think it reflects poorly on the obama administration. they claimed that they like whistleblowers, and they really don't. the issue that i have with guy, say certain point you cannot say things as part of the administration that are that inappropriate. so that's what i'm saying. you can't trust where this guy was going to go. they were right to fire him but i city still think they're thin skinned. >> this is his apology. it's a been a privilege to certain in this administration. what started out as an inintended parody account of d.c. culture, developed over time to mean spirited comments.

i seen searly apologize. but that happens to a lot of us on twitter, it starts out to be funny and then it turns really bad. >> welcome to the world of twitter where snark and anonymity collide. if you had a theme to your show today, carol, at least over the last 15 minutes when i saw your interview with sheila jackson lee, the theme is account bibt. and what we would like to see is consistency in account ability. what we would like to see con sinsy when it comes to account ability when it comes to the obama administration. >> i just interviewed congresswoman lee and i asked her, someone should take the blame for what happened.

and i just don't understand that. >> it's disturbing to see how many the democrats and unfortunately i have to say this, republicans as well, no one is taking the responsibility. the democrats want to cling to the obama care and the republicans are still obsessed with overturning it rather than fixing it. it seems like neither side wanted to be responsible about how to fix it for the american people. >> if i could say quickly, carol, i think there's an overfix wags on kathleen sebelius on her firing. first of all, she will not be fired. and one you could not get an confirmation through the senate process. and second, that line that the obama administration didn't know about its flaws and president obama did not know, that's unbelievable. but finally, she shouldn't be

a man who doesn't stand still. but jim has afib, atrial fibrillation -- an irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years, jim's medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto®, jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto®. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed to the designated route. not today. [ male announcer ] for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. plus, with no known dietary restrictions,

jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, without talking to the doctor who prescribes it as this may increase the risk of having a stroke. get help right away if you develop any symptoms like bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto® and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is not for patients with artificial heart valves. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto®. once a day xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring -- no known dietary restrictions. for more information and savings options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com.
