averted. >> an overtime vote keeps the u.s. government up and running. we'll break down what's in the final bill. and how a few posts from donald trump and elon musk could dictate future congressional decisions right now, investigators are working to learn more about the deadly attack on a crowded christmas market in the german city of magdeburg. these are live images coming to us now from the scene. at least two people were killed and 68 injured when a car drove through the crowd. video appears to show police arresting the suspected driver on the scene. officials say he's a 50 year old man from saudi arabia who is a permanent resident of germany the state of saxony-anhalt as a whole is in mourning, and that is why,

in consultation with the federal government, which will do the same, we will fly the flags at half staff to express that a tragedy has taken place here, and that we all share in the suffering that has been inflicted on people. cnn's matthew chance has more on the attack, and the man suspected of driving the car. >> this is the moment a vehicle plowed into a packed christmas market in germany, causing horrific casualties. video from the immediate aftermath in the city of magdeburg shows the market in disarray, with items scattered all around and people tending to the wounded. it's now known an adult and a toddler were killed in the attack. about 100 miles west of berlin, leaving the city on edge i'm certain we are shaking. >> we are full of sympathy for the relatives. also, we hope nothing has happened to our relatives, friends and acquaintances. >> police say they've arrested the driver of the car,

identified by a senior german government official as a doctor originally from saudi arabia. the suspect is reported to have lived in germany since 2006, and to work in the region. a government official says it's believed the suspected attacker acted alone. >> he was in. >> we are currently in the process of compiling all further data and also carrying out the interrogation, according to the current information, it is an individual perpetrator, so there is no longer any danger to the city because we were able to arrest him. >> it's not the first time a german christmas market has been targeted. back in 2016, a dozen people were killed and many more injured when a crowded christmas market in berlin was struck by a truck driven by a 24 year old tunisian man. that attack was later claimed by the islamic state. now the german chancellor, olaf schultz, is

set to travel to the scene of the latest attack as germany reckons with a horrific act of violence just days before christmas. matthew chance, cnn, london. >> cnn's barbie latza nadeau is live in rome for us now. what more do we know about the attack and the current suspect? >> you know, there still are a lot more questions that have not been answered. and those that have. of course, everyone is wondering who he is, what his motive was, and if there could have been some signs that could have prevented this horrific act from taking place. there's also questions around whether or not the security was adequate enough. we know that there were barriers that would have blocked vehicles from entering that busy market area, but obviously one car. this car got through. and so there are lots of questions surrounding whether or not something could have been done. you know, we're expecting the german chancellor to arrive at the scene any minute now. we're expecting him to be speaking in about 45 minutes. perhaps there will be some more information, but at the moment there still are

many, many questions about what led to this. >> ben, we're just a few days out from christmas, and we know that there are so many events happening around the world. i can barely move through central london because of the amount of people here going to these sorts of events. what kind of concerns are there around the security that's required at these places? >> yeah, you know, we're seeing that here in rome as well. you know, the holy jubilee of the vatican kicks off next week. they're expecting millions of people. a lot of these events are open air. and, you know, security is tight anyway. there's a lot of security, of course, that we don't see. there are lots of monitors, people monitoring what's going on, movements and things like that. but when you've got these big crowds and you people hear a noise or a bang, people get nervous and can, you know, can really, really, really spiral into a dangerous situation within a few minutes. we know in rome there is added security. we know in new york city as well that they're beefing up security ahead of the new year's eve celebrations. all of these things would have been in place anyway, but now

they're taking on an extra special meaning and significance. when we see what happened in germany, ben. >> and i'm sure a lot of people would have been asking, why weren't these sorts of security measures in place before this happened yesterday? thank you bob. we appreciate that. last hour i spoke with security and terrorism expert glen schoon and asked him about the warning from germany's interior minister just last month about vigilance at germany's christmas markets yes, there have been a lot of warnings. >> there has been a lot of work done and now this. so we must understand, though, that there's hundreds and hundreds of these kinds of markets across germany. maybe not all. certainly this size, but they do occur. they occur over multiple days, multiple weeks, and it just takes one moment of lack of vigilance or one moment of vulnerability for somebody to be able to strike. we don't know yet what went wrong here. we also have to realize that

even though we're looking at this already as a security failure of sorts, we don't know yet the extent to which this threat is also elsewhere, meaning we've had incidents at christmas markets involving people with knives, with swords and with firearms. so vehicles certainly a mistake was probably made here of some level. we're going to have to investigate that. but we should also not over focus on just the vehicle threat as being the sole threat to these kinds of events in london at the moment, you can barely move because the amount of people going to christmas markets, i'm sure it's the same situation across the world. >> can these markets be protected in a better way? and i guess quickly as well? >> well, much work has been done with it and you have to see it as a dynamic thing. there's so much you can do to prevent. so certainly when we think about christmas, markets generally, they're so large, so busy that things like metal

detection is not used very much, but there is such a thing as security checkpoints at the entry point where police officials or security officials can certainly pick out certain people. on the preventive side, we have patrols, we have the whole police and intelligence apparatus of intelligence. and on the responsive side. so more certainly can be done. more is being done and more smart tech is also being developed to deploy in these kinds of venues. >> as you'd expect, the attack has left world leaders expressing shock and sadness. have a look at some of their responses. and the pentagon press secretary shared condolences, writing our hearts go out to germany in the wake of this tragedy. french president emmanuel macron took to social media to post this, deeply shocked by the horror that struck the magdeburg christmas market in germany. my thoughts are with the victims, the injured and their loved ones and families. france shares the pain of the german people and expresses its full

solidarity. and from nato secretary general mark rutte. horrific scenes from a christmas market in magdeburg. i've reached out to the german chancellor to offer my condolences. my thoughts are with the victims and their families. nato stands with germany. israeli authorities say a projectile launched from yemen struck tel aviv overnight in a rare instance of the city's air defenses failing to intercept a target though sirens you're hearing there rang out over central israel. at least 30 people suffered minor injuries in the attack, with the projectile landing in tel aviv's southern jaffa area. the houthis say they launched a hypersonic ballistic missile at an israeli military target. residents in tel aviv say the attack came in the middle of the night while they were asleep. >> we had a siren and then

actually a siren on top of a siren, and we obviously were all sleeping in the building and then. before there was even time to get out the door, it exploded. the ballistic missile landed right behind our building and all the windows blew in. and the first, second floor and the whole area. it was very frightening tension between israel and the houthis have escalated since the hamas attack of october the 7th, and israel's subsequent war in gaza. >> after the break, lawmakers avoid a crisis on capitol hill. we'll bring you more coverage next. plus, democrats are raising concerns about billionaire elon musk after he helped push for a shutdown of the u.s. government. that story, and much more straight ahead. stay with us look at the skin, baby.

to a deal that got blown up by a tweet. >> i get the frustration. >> i'm as frustrated as anybody. we have a tight majority, a majority in the house right now. we are currently still in a divided government you'll see a reaction there from us, democratic and republican lawmakers after they overcame days of chaos to avert a crisis. >> most senate and house members worked together to kill the threat of a complete shutdown of many government operations. president biden is expected to sign the stopgap spending bill today. the so-called plan c extends government funding into march. it includes disaster relief and farming provisions, but it doesn't include a debt limit suspension. a key donald trump demand. that piece was stripped after a bipartisan revolt on thursday, apparently frustrated yet resigned, trump lamented to one lawmaker he's disappointed the deal couldn't include a debt ceiling hike. well, here

is cnn's lauren fox with some more at the last minute, members of the united states senate able to avert a government shutdown. >> on this vote, the yeas are 85. the nays are 11. the 60 vote threshold having been achieved, the bill is passed. >> this happened just a few minutes after midnight. but lawmakers coming together after what has been a whirlwind 36 hours in which elon musk and donald trump injected an 11th hour request to include the debt ceiling as part of these negotiations. ultimately, after a day and a half of mike johnson, the speaker of the house, trying to find a way to satisfy trump's request, republicans decided to move forward without an increase in the debt ceiling and instead used just a pared back spending bill that includes a hundred billion dollars in disaster aid. $10 million in assistance for farmers, and a spending bill that will go until just march 14th, meaning that lawmakers are going to have to

do this all over again in donald trump's first 100 days on capitol hill. for cnn, i'm lauren fox. >> i want to take a moment to bring you some live pictures. we're seeing there of magdeburg in germany. you're seeing german chancellor olaf scholz arriving. obviously, the attack that happened last night at that christmas market. an attacker driving through a high speed through a crowd of people just at the christmas market. just doing some christmas shopping and checking out the scene. and you're seeing the german chancellor arriving just there. he is going to be speaking later. and we will bring you the latest on that. he has already spoken about this and responded to the attack, saying at the time, my thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones. we stand by their side, by the side of all magdeburg residents. my thoughts to all of the emergency services in these difficult hours. as i told you earlier, this is just one month on from the interior minister saying that we need to be more

vigilant at these christmas markets so people will be asking why wasn't more done before this attack? okay, back to our top story as lauren just reported. trump's confidant and informal adviser elon musk helped torpedo a bipartisan deal earlier this week. many in congress see the billionaire as the one really running the show, and there are now furious democrats asking whether musk is a quote, shadow president. house democrat jim clyburn says that musk should have never interfered in the first place. >> elon musk has not been elected to anything and therefore he should not be in these discussions. and we have seen with his tweeting that when he puts himself into the discussions, calamity breaks out. and that's what happened here. if he stayed out of this on yesterday, it would have been done. and the american people could have started their

holiday season on a much better note. but we finally got it done, and i would hope that he would stay in his lane i'm joined now by craig schneider. >> he's a veteran political and corporate consultant, as well as former chief of staff to united states senator arlen specter. he was more recently director of haley voters for harris, and craig is also an author of the newly released political thriller guile. this is the first big loss for trump. thank you so much for joining me. um, but trump isn't even in the white house yet. it's not a good look for his influence over congress, surely, especially since his slim gop majority will get even slimmer in the next congress. but before then, we're back again. a near government shutdown. is this the first sign of how congress will interact with donald trump and so-called shadow president elon musk? >> well, it's definitely a sign of how complicated things are going to be. our politics

on capitol hill for a couple of years now have resembled more like reality tv than than reality, or at least what reality used to be. >> um uh, or another commentator that that i respect a guy named jonah goldberg yesterday wrote wrote a piece that said government should be more like a merry go round, sort of a slow and boring ride. >> not like, you know, an earth shattering roller coaster that takes you up and down. so we've we've been strapped to the roller coaster, um, and it's going to accelerate and the turns are going to get even steeper in the next congress because the majority is so slim. what we saw was different factions within the republican party who don't agree with each other, um, and, and the president elect tried to, you know, corral everybody around a particular position with the help of elon musk supporting that position, uh, on social media. >> and he wasn't able to do it. >> there were 38 republicans who did not go along with him.

that's a that's certainly a sign that it's going to continue to be very chaotic. >> well, let's keep talking about elon musk, because he's very obviously throwing his weight around, threatening to support primary challenges for members of congress who don't fall in line, especially when he has business interests in front of this congress. but why does what he says or what he posts even matter? and what could all of this mean for the gop going forward? >> well, it matters to, to to to candidates, potential candidates and members of congress because there's a huge following. elon musk has hundreds of millions of followers. um, and when he threatens to deploy money in, in in campaigns against them, that's a threat they simply have to take seriously. he has the resources to do it, and he has the right to do it. as as an american exercising his first amendment rights, they don't have to kowtow. of course they can. if they disagree, they can oppose him, but they know that they do so

at significant political cost. so he has a right to to try to intervene. it's their job as the elected officials to make what they think are the right decisions. and in this case, we saw that the intervention, uh, blew up the first deal, the bipartisan deal that had been negotiated over a period of weeks, but it did not achieve the stated result of including an extension to the debt limit in this bill. so he was able he he, you know, he threw some punches, right? and they landed, but they didn't knock out the opponent, the opponent being 38 republican congressmen who decided to vote in a different way than what they were being asked by both musk and trump. >> i like how you put that. do you think potentially we've just seen a potential strategy for the democrats in terms of dealing with the trump administration in the future? will they bail out the gop when there's infighting just to maintain some order, or will they let them effectively hang? themselves?

>> uh, you know, you're going to see some of both. um, i mean, i think that that the democrats were right in the end to vote for the plan c, um, but but they were also right not to go for plan b, which was what trump had demanded. um, and it's going to be it's going to be a constant balancing act that goes on throughout this throughout these, these next two years until the midterm elections in 2026. um, the democrats want to be seen as a party that's capable of governing and as a party that's responsible. uh, they don't want to be accused of of trying to block everything and be negative on everything. on the other hand, they have to stand when they think that principles are being violated. um, and trump's effort to get the debt limit raised, uh, under this administration, the outgoing administration, before he comes in as a way to cover the increased debt that will come from the tax cuts that he

intends to to put forward next, next year. uh, it was a smart move politically for trump. if he had been able to succeed it, it would have been good for the trump administration politically, if he had been able to succeed it. but it would have been a mistake for the country. so the democrats stood on principle on that. and other republicans joined them. that's really the key, is that republicans join them in a bipartisan way to vote down what trump had demanded. so we're going to see lots of these weird coalitions, uh, that, you know, are on one time things that emerge and then go away and then reemerge at other times. um, i think it's important, though, for, for for your viewers in the united states and around the world to know that, that the, the bill that didn't make it the original compromise measure had really important things in it that fell out because of this chaotic process over a couple of days, um, including including and i'll just use the most important example, including a very important piece of legislation that funds pediatric cancer research in the united states. of course. um, so so we're going to stop

doing, um, stop having authorized funding for cancer research for kids in the united states. uh, because these folks couldn't get their act together. and because both trump and musk decided to intervene at the very last minute without really thinking about the details of the policies involved in these complicated bills. as i said, writing this kind of legislation governing this way should be boring. and, and, and, you know, and details matter as opposed to just the theater and the high circus of it. >> i just learned so much from that. thank you so much, craig, i appreciate it. i mean, there's so much happening already and it's barely just begun. so i'm sure we'll come to you as things change. thank you. i want to bring you some breaking news right now in germany. cnn's german affiliate network, ntv is reporting the death toll from the attack on a christmas market has risen to four. dozens of others were injured. it happened when someone drove

a car through the crowd in the city of magdeburg. german chancellor olaf scholz has just arrived at the scene. this video appears to show police arresting the suspected driver on the scene. officials say he's a 50 year old man from saudi arabia who is a permanent resident of germany. stay with cnn for more updates as they become available. when we come back, we'll have more on that, plus our other top stories today. the u.s. government dodges a bullet on a potential shutdown. how the republican led congress passed a spending bill without giving in to a key demand by president elect donald trump you only come across an artist like luther vandross. >> once in a lifetime. >> luther. >> never too much. new years day at eight on cnn. >> when a tough cop finds you on the go, it would be silly. >> hey, trying to robert aderholt sauer juice pack with the power of robitussin and

>> yep. all you have to do is tap a few buttons and they take care of it. >> download rocket money today, new year's eve live with anderson and andy. >> live coverage starts at eight on cnn welcome back to our viewers in

the united states, here in the uk and all around the world, i'm ben hunt and this is cnn newsroom. >> an update now on the breaking news in germany. a deadly attack on a crowded christmas market. the death toll is now four, with 68 injured when a car drove through the crowd. it happened in the city of magdeburg. german chancellor olaf scholz is expected to give a news conference there very soon. this video appears to show police arresting the suspected driver at the scene. officials say the driver was a 50 year old man from saudi arabia, who is a permanent resident of germany. >> caplyta is best known, as far as we know now. >> there have been two fatalities and a large number of injuries. the perpetrator has been arrested. he is a 50 year old man from saudi arabia who entered the federal republic of germany for the first time in 2006. he had a settlement permit and thus a permanent residence, and has been working as a doctor in

bernburg. according to our current knowledge, he acted as a lone offender. there is no information about other perpetrators. >> videos of the horrific attack are being uploaded to social media. we're actually about to show you one of them. but first i want to warn you, it may be disturbing to some viewers. it shows the moment the vehicle plowed into a packed christmas market on friday. cnn's fred pleitgen was at the scene earlier and reported about the moments after the attack it is still very much a mass casualty event that the authorities here in mecklenburg are dealing with. >> in fact, i'm going to get right out of your way, and you can see that there's still a lot of fire trucks, a lot of ambulances that are here on the scene with the emergency medical personnel working here. this is a gigantic event. and one of the things that the authorities here tell us is that the hospitals in the magdeburg area, it's actually a very big city. they're completely overwhelmed with all of this and had to fly some of the casualties to other places for increased treatment. the latest that we're hearing is

that this incident started. the authorities say at around 7 p.m. local time, when the driver plowed into the christmas market. and if you look from here, the christmas market is actually a little bit over that way. that fencing over there is the christmas market. and he plowed through there. now there are some barriers that i've seen to that christmas market. so it's unclear how the car made it in there. but you just showed that video, that devastating video of the car plowing through the christmas market with people trying to jump out of the way. it would have been very difficult for them to do that. it's a very compact area. and of course, 7 p.m. on a friday night is exactly the time when most people would go to that christmas market. families, people coming off work the last friday before christmas. so the authorities are saying the place was packed. it was almost impossible for people to get out of the way. and that's one of the reasons why so many people have been so badly injured. the governor of the state that magdeburg is in has said that he fears that the death toll could continue to rise cnn legal analyst and former deputy director of the

fbi, andrew mccabe, explains what might be happening with the investigation germany has similar laws to the united states in which, after arrest, you're entitled to maintain your silence. >> you don't have to make any statements. you're entitled to an attorney. you're entitled to an interpreter. if you don't speak the language. so it's, you know, depends on whether or not he felt free to speak. although it seems ridiculous that anyone would talk after doing such a horrible thing. but oftentimes people with a strong extremist agenda interact with law enforcement because they want people to know why they did what they did. in addition to that, i would expect that they are pursuing search warrants at his residence, possibly at his business. and those really are focused on recovering electronic devices, computers, telephones, tablets, things in which devices that he used to communicate, things that would reveal his internet search history, his communications with other people, things that would help law enforcement and

intelligence officials understand his network of friends, associates, business contacts, things like that. so they're going to try to learn very quickly everything they can about him, not just to reveal his motive, but also to understand if if he revealed these plans to anyone else, if he possibly relied on anybody else for assistance in the planning and the execution of this attack. so they have a lot of work ahead of them right now. there's a long tradition of extremists targeting these christmas markets in germany. the 2016 attack, which everybody remembers. there was a second 1 in 2018, in which five additional people died. and then earlier this month, there's all sorts of reporting in politico and other places that several individuals were arrested for plotting to attack one of these markets. so they certainly were adequately warned. now they are saying that they had no prior knowledge of this person on their intelligence or law enforcement side. if that's the case here in the united states with the fbi and the cia,

there's no doubt that u.s. authorities are going through every database they can find right now to see if this person showed up on their radar in any way, if he was picked up in overseas, uh, communications surveillance, if he was stopped and searched for some reason, crossing a border, that sort of activity, which at the time may not have seemed significant at this point, they are looking for that information so they can push as much of it as possible to their colleagues in germany, very free and open intelligence sharing between us and the german government. so i'm sure a lot of folks in the american intelligence sector are working on this issue as we speak. >> well, there's a lot going on in the world right now. the other big story that we're following, after days of chaos, lawmakers in washington have averted a crisis. they avoided a federal government shutdown after the senate just passed a stopgap funding bill by a vote

of 85 to 11, the house of representatives passed it. earlier. president biden is expected to sign it into law later today, and the bill extends government funding into march. it includes disaster relief and farming provisions, but it doesn't suspend the debt limit, something that donald trump was demanding. trump reportedly told lawmakers he was disappointed the deal didn't raise the debt ceiling. but some lawmakers say the president elect did get what he wanted it's not perfect. >> we wanted the debt limit increase, but it's a negotiated bill, and that's what president trump and elon musk are really good at. that's why they're successful business people. they lay out what they want and they'll negotiate down to where they are willing to walk away or accept. and in this case, they're willing to accept. and so is the republican party to say that president trump didn't get a victory. he did remember, he's the one that killed the bill. that was 1572 pages. that was filled with a tremendous amount of pork and brought it down to 100. and what, 16 pages new york

prosecutors said on friday that state proceedings against luigi mangione will begin before his federal trial in the shooting of an insurance company. >> ceo mangione was hit with four more federal charges on thursday following multiple state level indictments. he was also transferred from pennsylvania to a notorious federal detention center in new york. cnn's brynn gingras reports from ivy league rich kid to inmate number 525035 11. >> that is luigi mangione new identification inside the walls of brooklyn's notorious metropolitan detention center, commonly known as mdc. the 26 year old is the latest high profile inmate at the federal detention center. former inmates include sex trafficker jeffrey epstein's accomplice ghislaine maxwell, farmer bro martin shkreli and r kelly. currently, sean diddy combs is also being held there on

yemen struck israel's second largest city overnight. more than a dozen people suffered minor injuries, with the projectile landing in tel aviv's southern jaffa area. the houthis say they launched a hypersonic ballistic missile at an israeli military target. tensions between israel and the houthis have escalated since the hamas attack on october 7th, and israel's subsequent war in gaza. well, cnn's jeremy diamond is on the scene of the missile attack in tel aviv. >> we are at the scene of this houthi missile strike in southern tel aviv. and you can see this is where that missile actually made impact. that is the impact crater that's now been covered in by dirt in the middle of this park, with a children's playground in the middle. the buildings all around this area, damaged by the force of this blast, windows that have been blown out by the percussive blast. and this happened in the middle of the night, a 3:45 in the morning. you can see more of that damage right up here. these windows that have been

shattered, the frames of them hanging by a thread. now, at least 16 people suffered minor injuries as a result of this blast caused by those glass fragments that exploded. 14 others suffered minor injuries, rushing to shelters, and while the houthis say that they struck successfully, a military target in tel aviv. as you can see, this is not a military target. this is a residential area in southern tel aviv. now, there are also questions about why the israeli military failed to intercept this missile. you can see in video from overnight at least two interceptor missiles going up into the sky, attempting to intercept that houthi missile, but failing, obviously. and this is the result. instead, the israeli military also just a few days ago, struck the houthis inside of yemen with a series of airstrikes. we expect that that for tat will continue in the days and weeks ahead. jeremy diamond, cnn, tel aviv.

>> ukraine says russia has, quote, unleashed a real hell on the southern city of kherson. more than a thousand artillery shells hit the city over a period of 40 minutes on friday, leaving two people dead and ten others injured. kherson is just across the river from russian positions, and officials say russian troops regularly try to cross over with hopes of reoccupying the city at some point. similar scenes played out in kyiv, where at least one person was killed and 12 others injured. ukraine called it a barbaric attack that also damaged several foreign embassies. officials say all russian drones and missiles were shot down or failed to reach their targets, but their falling debris still caused damage and casualties. those strikes came a day after russia's president bragged about his new hypersonic missile. it was fired at the city of dnipro last month, in what could be the first time it's ever been used in combat.

the missile has multiple warheads, which can either be conventional or nuclear. and as nathan hodge reports, russia's leader dared ukraine to pit its air defenses against it. >> russia's attack friday on the ukrainian capital comes one day after russian president vladimir putin boasted about the capabilities of the oresnik, his new nuclear capable intermediate range ballistic missile system. putin, in the press conference, also proposed that the oresnik be tried out in a technological test as a proposed duel between russia and the west. seeing how this russian weapon system would fare against u.s. supplied and western supplied air defense systems that the ukrainians rely upon to defend kyiv and other cities against russian attack from the air. and of course, putin's brazen boasts and his pledges to test the oresnik have been described in terms, well, quite bluntly by the ukrainian president is

something basically nothing less than ghoulish with the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelenskyy, quite undiplomatically calling putin a for his remarks. and it's also worth pointing out that putin, in that press conference, also made some fairly glib remarks. kicking off his press conference by talking about the fact that war makes life interesting. and in addition to going on to boast about his foreign policy successes and his successes on the battlefield in the grinding war of attrition in ukraine's east, but the context for all of this, of course, is the incoming administration in washington of president elect donald trump. the kremlin expects, of course, that trump, who is quite publicly pledged that he intends to bring an end to the war between russia and ukraine. the kremlin now expects that it needs to enter into any kind of negotiation over ukraine, from a position of strength. and, of course, the kremlin is reeling in

recent days and weeks, particularly from the ouster of syrian dictator bashar al-assad, who was forced to flee and took refuge in russia, giving russian foreign policy a black eye. despite attempts by russian president vladimir putin to spin russia's military involvement in syria as a success. it's clearly been a setback. and russia, in the coming days is clearly. and russian president putin as well, is trying to show the world that he remains on the front foot when it comes to the war in ukraine, as well as when it comes to coming to the table with an incoming president. trump. nathan hodge, cnn, london. >> a seven year old girl was killed and several other people, including children, were injured in a stabbing attack on friday at an elementary school in croatia's capital, zagreb. the alleged attacker, who is 19 years old and believed to be a former student, is now in police
