those health care workers now flying into jfk and newark. i want to get right out to elizabeth cohen with more information on this. elizabeth, what are you hearing? >> reporter: ana, what i'm hearing from federal and new york city officials is that they were stunned, completely surprised, when the new york and new jersey governors christie and cuomo said that they're going to start quarantining health care workers when they return from west africa. said there was no consultation, public health experts weren't consulted. one of them said they fear it's being done more for political reasons than for scientific reasons and, you know, dr. mary bassett who is the health commissioner here in new york city through a spokesperson she said, look, i am worried that the that is going to discourage health care workers from going to africa and helping that completely reverses everything we've been trying to do to help this outbreak. ana? >> we already heard from one of these health care workers returning being quarantined. some good news about that, this

new jersey health care worker has tested negative for the ebola virus. she faced a mandatory quarantine after arriving in newark from west africa where she helped treat ebola patients. but the story doesn't end there. according to her new op-ed in the dallas news, she knew nothing about the quarantine and she hasn't happy about it. she said i've been quarantined in new jersey. this is not a situation i would wish on ebb anyone and i am scared for those who will follow me. i am scared about how health care workers will be treated in airports when they declare that. and that have been fighting ebola in west africa. i am scared that like me they will arrive and see a frenzy of disorganization, fear and most frightening quarantine. so, elizabeth, you know, you've been following all of these developments. we're hearing now from the health care worker. this is certainly a fear that we're hearing from doctors that it could discourage other health

care workers from even going into west africa if they know they're facing this quarantine and this seems to be maybe backing that fear up. >> reporter: that's right, ana. this casey hickok is stuck in a new jersey hospital against her will based on some pretty thin evidence that she was even sick. you've seen these -- these scanners. they kind of look like big white guns. they're put to the forehead and they read out a temperature. well, study have shown that those are not as reliable as an oral thermometer and she had one high reading and a lot of normal readings with a much more reliable thermometer and she was sent to the hospital. and she wrote this when she got to the hospital the infect, disease and emergency department doctors took my temperature and other vitals and hooked puzzled. your temperature is 98.6, they said. you don't have a fever. but we were told you have a fever so this woman who is not sick. who has now tested for negative

ebola is stuck in this new jersey hospital. i've reached out to governor christie's office and i've gotten no response to explain why are you holding this woman. all she did was go try to help save lives in africa. >> are you hearing anything from either governor's office, either cuomo or christie, about this new quarantine and the reaction from the health care workers about it? >> reporter: no, i'm not hearing anything. i've reached out to both governor's offices as well as other spokes people for them and haven't gotten any calls back. >> what's the latest on the condition of the new york ebola patient, the doctor, who we now know is also fighting for his life? >> reporter: right. so dr. spencer who's in the hospital behind me, we're told that he's in stable condition. he's in isolation. we're told that he's in pretty good shape. he's able to talk. he's been on his cell phone. so it seems that hopefully this is yet another ebola patient in the united states who will survive, you know, ana as you know there have been many u.s.

ebola patients who have survived. only one has passed away thomas eric duncan and he got his care very late in the game unfortunately. >> right. these latest cases they caught early and that is good news. elizabeth cohen, thanks. and we appreciate you staying on top of it for us. another big story, the school shooting near seattle a homecoming prince opening fire in a high school cafeteria. we now know his targets were not random. freshman jaylen fryberg reportedly shot two of his cousins and two 14-year-old girls both in the head. the mystery of a motive still not completely solved. classmates say fryberg was a popular football player. he was just elected homecoming prince. he was smiling and dancing at football practice we are told. what lurked underneath that sunny demeanor, did he signal his apparent rage in tweets leading up to friday's rampage? we'll read some of the

disturbing new messages. and we're learning about the victims that are fighting to stay alive. things are very touch and go for the two injured girls. >> we've seen tears. we've seen anger. they are just -- just grieving. right now i think they are just settled in. things are quiet. they know the circumstances. they're hoping for the best. but the next three days are going to be crucial. these young people are being monitored moment by moment. they have a nurse at their bedside constantly. a doctor is very nearby constantly. all the neurosurgeons have rounded this morning and they'll be here rounding throughout the day. but this will be a process that take -- we won't know a whole lot more for the next two or three days. >> we are covering every angle of this deadly school shooting. i want to bring in national correspondent susan candiotti live outside providence regional medical center where those two girls are still battling. susan, i know you spoke to a

acquaintance of jaylen fryberg, the gunman, about some recent trouble that fryberg may have faced. tell me about what you've learned. >> reporter: right. the motive for all this is still a mystery and investigators if they know what it is, they haven't yet released it. but as you mentioned, i spoke to a schoolmate of the shooter in this case jaylen fryberg, and he's a junior and he speaks to this young man on occasion. coincidentally they had a brief conversation at the start of the school day on friday. and one of the things he said they talked about was his recent suspension from school. fryberg had just come back. he was punished for apparently being involved according to students in a fight that happened at a football practice after some students allegedly made some derogatory comments about him. and here's what the student said of their conversation -- >> it was a moment just a kind of -- just a follow-up on what was going on in his life, you know, you know, like i said, i

wasn't -- i haven't ever been that close to him but, you know, i've spoken with him and talked to him like i do to other people that i see around school and i just told him, like i said, to talk to me, come talk to me if he ever needs anything and, you know, and his final words that he said to me about what happened with the fight, you know, he said it was an act of anger. or it was an act of aggression and he should have used his words and those were the last words that he had really spoken to me and it really kind of hit me pretty hard. >> reporter: and so investigators we can tell you have now cleared the scene at the school. they were working there until close to 11:00 last night gathering evidence. and wrapping up interviews they conducted with students and teachers and staff earlier in the day on friday. this morning the school back open again only to allow students and staff to come back in and pick up any belongings that they left behind. the school is closed for this coming week. and we do expect, ana, some new

information from the medical examiner as well as a statement from the tribe to which jaylen fryberg belonged on the reservation later this day. ana? >> susan, we mentioned these tweets and how social media is one of the areas investigators are now turning to, to try to figure out why he went on this attack. and one of those tweets from tuesday reads, it breaks me, it actually does. i know it seems like i'm sweating it off but i'm not. and i never will be able to. are you learning any more about what prompted tweets like that? >> reporter: you know, it's really speculation at this point. students are talking about it quite a bit, but there are different versions of what it might have been receiving to. could it have been this fight he was involved in. suspended from school? might it have been from a possible break-up that he may have had with a girlfriend? it's really unclear or simply anger over something else. so, these are the things that are becoming very important to

investigators as well as, of course, hands-on interviews with the students who were with him that day and who are friends of his. everyone trying to piece this together. >> there are a lot of questions for sure. susan candiotti, thank you so much. coming up, the marysville mayor is going to join us live. on my journey across america, i've learned that when you ask someone in texas if they want "big" savings on car insurance, it's a bit like asking if they want a big hat... ...'scuse me... ...or a big steak... ...or big hair... i think we have our answer. geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance.

[door be♪l rings] [door bell rings] [phone rings] hello. heh. heh. heh-he-he... t-mobile's is the first national network to give you wi-fi calling. now every wi-fi connection works like a t-mobile tower. it's wi-fi unleashed.

people in marysville, washington, are dealing with so much grief. so many questions after a homecoming prince went on a shooting rampage in his high school cafeteria. my next guest is the mayor of this town where the tragedy occurred. marysville mayor jon nehring

tried to soothe his community yesterday when he said this -- >> my heart right now goes out to the community. our thoughts and prayers are with primarily those who have lost loved ones today. also those who have injured loved ones right now and everybody involved at marysville pilchuck high school and also we want to extend that. we've got kids all over this community that know the kids involved and our hearts are with them and their families. this is a true community tragedy for the marysville tulalip community. >> no doubt about it. joining me now is marysville mayor jon nehring. thank you for making time for us. we know you are very busy especially during this difficult time. how did you find out about yesterday's tragedy? where were you at the time? >> i was at city hall. i had just finished up a transportation meeting i was involved in at about 10:42, 10:43 our chief administrator officer came in and told me about it and we grabbed everything and headed over to the command center immediately. >> now that you've allowed things to kind of sink in, i

imagine initially it's all just shock and whatever reaction you can get out there. what is the plan in terms of now coping with this tragedy? >> yeah, you know, one thing i can tell you about marysville, we're a night-knit community and we've bounced back from things before. this is probably the most significant thing we've faced in a long time. but marysville will bounce back and define us. it started yesterday with the response of our ems and police personnel, the professionalism right on through the evening with the candlelight vigils and thousands of people coming out and crying together and hugging and taking the very initial steps to eveover recovery from as you played at the outset our main concern and our thoughts and prayers are with the kids fighting in the hospital and all the families who have lost injured loves ones. >> something like this happens, everybody tries to make sense of it. i know you, mayor, are a father of three children yourself. how did you talk to your kids

about this shooting? >> you know, it is tough. and the first thing i did is just hugged my kids, you know, and i mentioned last night that sometimes i think this is -- it's needed for us to re-evaluate our priorities. we were rushing around yesterday morning. i don't even think i said good-bye to my kids before they left for school. so, that reoriented me a little bit. particularly my youngest son who is at the other high school in our community but went to middle school just last year with pretty much all of these kids and was close friends with a couple of the girls. and so, you know, it's a tough thing for him. it's a tough thing for all the kids in our community not just my kids but all of them. yeah, it was good to get home and hug them late last night and spend a little bit of time talking it through. >> we heard that marysville police did s.w.a.t. training. took place at the school district center just days before this shooting. is that a regular occurrence? do you think that helped police in terms of responding to this incident? >> absolutely. our police have over the past

couple of years, over the past several years, have held regular training on these time of incidents with all of our schools and have no doubt that that is what helped with the rapid response and the ability to evacuate and complete two full sweeps of the school and find additional kids that were still on lockdown and even a couple who had minor injuries and so that training paid off and i can't say enough about our ems and our police personnel and the professionalism and that will continue in the days and weeks ahead and the partner agencies. i don't want to forget all the partner agencies that came in and helped us. surrounding communities. the sheriff's office. we just received so much support on this. even got e-mails from as far away as norway and uganda. but it's great for our community. >> that's great to hear that you're getting that outpouring of support. one last question for you. we've heard that perhaps a staff member or an employee in that school tried to stop the gunman, approach the gunman? what can you tell us about that? what have you learned? >> yeah.

we've heard the same thing. apparently there was -- i believe a first-year teacher who did step in and in some way contribute to ending this event. and so i would just say, you know, that just shows us once again there's all these heroes in this type of a thing even though it's a horrendous tragedy and she appears to be one of those heroes as i'm sure we'll find out more, too, about some of the students and what happened. but, yeah, it's something that we have -- we're really proud of. >> right. you said we're still trying to learn all the details about the facts of the case. have you had a chance to talk to that first-year teacher? >> i have not, no. that's the type of thing that, you know, we'll give them some room to recover from this and deal personally with some of these things, and follow-up with some of the families and whatnot at an appropriate time. but right now our priority is just getting everybody back home with their families and get some time to digest everything that's happened here over the last 24 hours. >> absolutely.

well, mayor jon nehring, thank you so much for being here. best of luck. our hearts and our thoughts and prayers are with you and your community there. >> we certainly appreciate that, ana. thank you. >> thank you. in the midst of two lone wolf attacks in just one week, isis now ramping up efforts to recruit jihadis from canada. the details right after this. thoughtfully crafted and intelligently designed. with available forward collision warning and new blind spot monitor and a 2014 top safety pick plus rating. cost of entry? a fortune. until now. hey sarah, new jetta? yup. can i check it out? maybe at halftime? introducing lots of new. the new volkswagen jetta. isn't it time for german engineering? so i'm the one living and i've listened to the tips, the trends and have-you-tried-this.

we are now learning more about the gunman who opened fire on canada's parliament hill killing a soldier and we now know he was a recent convert to islam and had ties to other jihadists. >> we have learned through the current investigation that this individual has been in ottawa since at least october 2nd, 2014. that he was in town to deal with a passport issue but that he was also hoping to leave for syria. >> so this revelation and another deadly attack against a different soldier earlier in the week in canada raising questions about isis and its seemingly successful recruiting tactics in the west. randi kaye takes a look at how this terrorist group is doing it. >> reporter: you might think is a commercial from the tourism board of canada. it's not. it's actually a recruiting video

from isis. aimed at convincing extremists to join jihad in syria. >> i'm your brother in islam here in syria. i originally come from canada. >> reporter: he is the ultimate pitchman for isis. andre poline a canadian convert who changed his name. listen as he tells the camera in this 11-minute video before he joined isis he was just a normal canadian teenager. >> i watched hockey. i went to the cottage in the summertime. i loved to fish. i wanted to go hunting. i liked outdoors. i liked sports. >> he moved during the battle like a man that did not know death. >> the message of the video is you need to emigrate from western countries especially canada to syria because it's only this that you can live properly as a muslim. >> reporter: that message is resonating. the canadian government has identified 30 canadians now fighting in syria and iraq.

another 100 fighting in places like yemen, pakistan and afghanistan. the government claims to know the identification of all of those fighters. already 80 of them have returned home and could pose a potential terrorist threat. why is isis targeting canada? because of its growing problem with radicalization. >> too many young canadian muslims have felt alienated from mainstream society and have looked to radical ideologies for a sense of identity and purpose. there's a clamor amongst people from these backgrounds, extremist backgrounds in canada, extremist ideologies to go and travel to syria and iraq and join this islamic caliphate as they see it. >> reporter: and it's not just fighters isis is hoping to recruit. on the video the pitch goes well beyond that. >> we need the engineers. we need doctors. we need professionals. we need -- we need -- we need volunteers.

we need fund-raising. we need everything, you know, there's a role for everybody. you can even come here and help rebuild the place. >> reporter: or you can come here and die just like andre pouline, as he rushed into an airport he was killed by explosives last year far from canada and the country he once loved. randi kaye cnn new york. >> the attack on canada leading to some serious questions here in the u.s. about border security. >> i'm much more concerned about the canada border, charlie, than i am the mexican border because it's much easier to come across that border. i am now more worried about a terrorist threat in the united states than i have been for a long, long time. there are more reasons than ever why now is the best time to be on verizon. one: verizon's the largest, most reliable 4g lte network in the country. that's right america. with xlte in over 400 markets. two: and here's something for families to get excited about.
