to us via facebook or twitter. i hope you enjoyed our show and are learning to be more of a healthy you. fox news alert, police recovering a .40 caliber handgun from the high school cafeteria outside seattle. i'm arthel neville. jaylen fryberg opened fire, killing one, wounding four others and then killing himselves. a social studies teachers tried to stop him. dominic di-natale is covering the story for us. >> this morning, we've started to see a show of sympathy and
1:31 pm
support at marysville-pilchuck high school. tributes for those coming in that were hurt. an alarm was triggered shortly after that. that's when he turned the gun on himself. emotions felt all the more now that the authorities are publicly sharing the identities of those hurt when that well-liked native american freshman opened fire in the cafeteria yesterday. two of the victims were his cousins. the girls' doctor saying the next three days are going to be absolutely critical in their recovery. listen. >> these young people are being monitored moment by moment. they have a nurse at their bedside constantly.
1:32 pm
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 takes -- we won't know a whole lot more for the next two or three days. >> up until now, jaylen fryberg was considered, quote, golden boy, good football player, had good grades, good reputation in the community. the girl he shot dead seems to be the girl he was upset about, his love interest as she turned her attention to his cousin, apparently. the sound of gunfire caused panic across the school campus friday morning. >> when they were saying, this confirmed dead, to confirmed injure, people started to cry. >> fryberg made no attempt to hide he was upset about his personal emotional circumstances. his twitter feed showing he was gutted over an emotional issue.
1:33 pm
but he hadn't revealed what that was that was eating him up. she'd also made previous comments about his parents and seemed for a while some weeks ago to have a degree of anger pointed at them. and it's understood that it was his parents' gun that he had used to commit the shooting at the school. more details being revealed by the police. >> dominic di-natale, thank you very much. live from our l.a. bureau. new york city now, the mayor here, bill de blasio saying the city's first ebola patient, dr. craig spencer, is in relatively stable condition. colleagues of the doctor now saying he was very careful when treating patients in guinea. right now, he is still being held at bellevue hospital in new york city where his doctor says he's not out of the woods just quite yet.
1:34 pm
>> dr. spencer received a blood transfusion yesterday. doctors remain optimistic. a little over an hour ago, mayor bill de blasio and the city's health care commissioner stood outside to reassure people that the city is safe. they're confident that spencer's fiancee and two friends are the only people who had contact with spencer. all three are doing well but will remain in quarantine until november 14th as a precaution. dr. spencer arrived last week from guinea where he treated ebola patients as a volunteer with the non-profit doctors without borders. during that week, spencer self-monitored himself and lived his daily life, going to restaurants, a bowling alley,
1:35 pm
rising in subways and a taxi. he didn't show symptoms thursday morning when he developed a 103-point fever. today, the mayor reiterated that dr. spencer followed proper protocol when he called that morning and commended him for his work in west africa. >> here is a doctor who volunteered to go into what is the medical equivalent of a war zone. this is no different than a soldier who goes into battle to protect us. >> still illinois, new york and new jersey have implemented a new quarantine policy requiring a mandatory 21-day quarantine for anyone, including health care workers, who have been in direct contact with ebola patients in west africa, regardless of whether or not they show symptoms. now, the first health care worker to be quarantined under the new policy arrived at newark liberty international airport yesterday. she has been tested for ebola twice.
1:36 pm
both tests have come back negative for ebola. the world health organization now reporting the number of ebola cases has now surpassed the 10,000 mark and though nearly half of those have died. w.h.o. officials adding those numbers are likely even greater since so many people in west africa have either been unable or too fearful to seek medical care. meanwhile, mali becoming the sixth country in west africa to report a case of ebola. the patient, a 2-year-old girl who came over from guinea. she's now dead. dr. nina radcliff is going to join us later to talk about the virus. new york city's police commissioner calling thursday's hatchet attack on four rookie officers an act of terrorism. one officer was hit in the head and remains in critical but table condition. the other was hit in the arm and is now out of the hospital.
1:37 pm
the suspect was shot to death by two other cops on the streets in queens, new york. investigators are examining the suspect's computer to find a possible motive. they say there have been no clear ties to international extremists. canada's parliament hill reopening to the public after a fatal shooting on wednesday. a gunman killed a soldier at the national war memorial in ottawa and stormed the parliament before he was shot and killed there. an intense battle between isis militants and kurdish troops continues in the syrian town of kobani. the fighting is concentrated on the eastern edges of town as the u.s. military continues to conduct air strikes against the terrorists. it also made air drops of weapons to kurdish troops. john huddy has the latest. >> weapons, heavy artillery,
1:38 pm
more help from ground troops, that's what the kurdish forces need at this point to maintain control of kobani from the isis militants. as you mentioned, the fight continues and it's been an intense one. so let's talk about that. we're getting reports that isis militants have staged another ground offensive in kobani with the fighting concentrated, as you mentioned, on the eastern and now on the southern edges of the town where isis is attacking kurdish troops with mortar and artillery fire. there have also been reports from witnesses on the ground of machine gun fire and fighter jets circling overhead. speaking of which, kurdish forces are getting help from the u.s.-led air strikes. but, again, the question remains how much longer can they hold out if more relief as far as ground forces, artillery and supplies doesn't come soon enough? and likewise, that remains a concern for iraqi forces as well, though they, too, are getting help from the u.s.-led coalition air strikes.
1:39 pm
u.s. central command, centcom, reports that u.s. and coalition forces conducted 22 air strikes friday and today in iraq targeting isis positions, vehicles, artillery and buildings being used for the production and storage of weapons. as far as weapons being used by isis goes, arthel, there are allegations that the militants used chlorine gas on both iraqi security forces and shiite fighters last month north of baghdad in iraq. if true, raising serious questions about whether isis is using chemical weapons and also whether those weapons will not only be used in iraq but syria as well. arthel? >> lots of questions, for sure. john huddy, thank you very much. two people are now in custody after a wild six-hour chase across northern california. two counties, in fact. cops say a man used an assault-style rifle to gun down two sheriff's deputies.
1:40 pm
one died in sacramento county. the other in plasser county. another person is in critical condition. this officer was killed in the attack, 20 years to the day his faertd, al father, also a sheriff's deputy, died in the line of duty. the suspect was arrested along with an armed woman officers say was riding along with him. with only ten days until the midterm elections, president obama's approval ratings are at an all-time low. so how will this impact democrats in key battleground states? and why this google executive travels more than 25 miles above earth. [ female announcer ] hands were made for talking.

feet...tiptoeing. better things than the pain, stiffness, and joint damage of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. before you and your rheumatologist decide on a biologic, ask if xeljanz is right for you. xeljanz (tofacitinib) is a small pill, not an injection or infusion, for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. xeljanz can relieve ra symptoms, and help stop further joint damage. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers . . ars in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz and routinely check certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you have been to a region where fungal infections are common, and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c,

an executive at google setting a pretty stellar record this weekend. 57-year-old daredevil alan yousis traveling up in a balloon and parachuting back down to earth. not only breaking the sound barrier and setting off his own personal sonic boom but also breaking the altitude record set just two years ago. eustace described the view saying he could see the layers of the atmosphere. as president obama struggles with some major foreign policy challenges, his approval ratings are not out of this world. in fact, they're sinking to an all-time low. and according to a recent fox
1:45 pm
news poll, 53% of those surveyed say they would vote against his policies if they were on the november ballot while only 37% say they would support them. how will all this impact the next month's midterms? the chief congressional correspondent for "the washington examiner" joins us. good to see you, susan. >> hi, arthel. >> as history has it, voters are becoming more focused this time of the year. but you say this might be bad timing for president obama. tell us why. >> that's right. i think some of these recent polls, the fox poll, gallup, other polls have found that the president's approval rating is at an all-time low. and it has continued to drop amid problems he's had dealing with foreign policy crises, the ebola crisis in america, immigration reform controversies. all these things have caused voters to have less faith in the job that the president is doing. and it's really coming at just a
1:46 pm
very important time for how voters decide who they're going to pick in november. the election is a week from tuesday. so oftentimes when you look at polling throughout the year, you see lots of undecideds. that number is getting smaller and smaller. people are making up their minds and making up their minds in favor of the gop because of the president's approval ratings, particularly in the key swing states where he is very unpopular. >> with that in mind, give us the tick tock on colorado, let's say? >> that's an interesting case. mark udall was a safe democrat for the most part. then as the president's approval rating started to drop, udall's numbers started to drop also. and his opponent picked up popularity as udall's numbers were dropping and now is representative gardner, a representative running against udall, it's neck and neck.
1:47 pm
this was almost unthought of a few months ago, to think that mark udall might be in jeopardy of losing. now he is. the key factor is president obama's approval rating, quite low in colorado. >> and i want to jump there with you. you believe that presidential popularity, let's say, plays a much greater role in the senate races. tell us why. >> yeah, i think that is because senators don't have as close a connection to voters. there are two senators for each states. when you're dealing with representatives and local elected officials, the voters know them a little bit better. it's easy to distinguish between what they do and what the president knows. it's very much easier for republicans in this case to tie these democratic incumbents to the president because there's not a lot that the constituents know on a personal level. >> a week from tuesday.
1:48 pm
but as you know, early voting. >> reporter: taking place. let's talk about who typically turns out early and will that momentum hold until november 4th? >> well, i think in the midterms in general, democrats have long had trouble getting their base out to vote. they've even joked about it over the years saying, we don't do well at midterm elections. midterms never fall in favor of the incumbent president typically. so you would expect democrats to lose a little bit more. but in this case, too, i think you're seeing who has the enthusiasm edge. you have to look at the republican party right now because there's so much dissatisfaction within the republican party as to how the president's job performance has been that they're the more excited ones, they're the ones who are getting out the vote more. and that's likely to hold true through election day. >> but you would think the democrats in the key races are trying to get their folks galvanized and excited to get to the polls because they need their votes.
1:49 pm
>> absolutely. and they're working really hard at that, too. the one thing the gop has not done well that the democrats have done well at is the ground game, getting the vote out. the last time they did well at that was when president bush was running for a second term. democrats have done much better at that. the democratic ground game could counter some of the gop enthusiasm. these races are still very close. they're within two, three points. republicans have the edge in many of them. but if that ground game works out for democrats, they could hold onto the senate majority. so that's a great point. it's really a battle between enthusiasm and the democrats' ability to organize on the ground. >> it's going to be exciting all the way to the minute and beyond. susan, thank you very much. >> thank you. how confident do you feel that your local hospital is ready to handle ebola? what medical experts are saying about that very thing. a bike ri i didn't think i'd have a heart attack. but i did.

1:53 pm
new jersey, new york and illinois issuing a 21-day mandatory quarantine policy for travelers who had contact with ebola patients in west africa. we're talking about medical workers. meanwhile, a new survey showing only 6% of infection prevention experts say their facilities are well prepared for ebola. 5% of experts say their facilities are not well prosecuted. and about 40% say they're somewhat prepared. dr. nina radcliffe is here she's a practicing physician and anesthesiologist. good to see you. first of all, what do you think of the stats? >> just a general quarantine is good for health care workers returning as well as for the public and their families and loved ones. >> and the staffs, what about
1:54 pm
the health care facilities around the country and who are not prepared, we're not there yet. >> well, we can listen to this. we do have preparedness in place. when we say prepared or partially prepared this is what people are worried about and able to address this. >> you say, dr. nina, it's to be have this 21-day quarantine for health care workers on the ground treating patients there who need the care. you say coming back to the u.s. it's good to quarantine them for 21 days? >> it makes good sense. they have an increased risk of contracting ebola. they do not want to bring it back to their families or loves one. although they're trained to monitor for symptoms, check their temperatures or report it, there could be a delay and be treated for ebola. >> and should that apply to all travelers coming from west africa or no? >> that's a difficult discussion. that can be on the table that look at it scientifically. the concern is if you're not in contact with people who have
1:55 pm
ebola then you're not really at a risk. we also have the benefit that people who do not have symptoms are not contagious. >> you handled that very well, dr. nina, i will say, because it is such a touchy question. we speak to you as a scientist, as a doctor. that's your point, we want to make make sure we have these discussions based on science and not fear. >> not fear. we also don't want to detract from the fact that we're proteprotec protected and other layers that need to be done. >> you know, now that cases of ebola have shown up in our countries outside of west africa, do you believe that will expedite getting help to the doctors there on the ground who have been crying out for more help for a long time now, for months now? >> we have to realize we don't have to give them everything that's needed. this is a war that's fought and won in west africa. as long as that's brewing, we need to get all hands on deck and give them what they need.
1:56 pm
>> and you believe if everybody helps get them what they need, we can actually eradicate ebola? >> look at what happened with nigeria. they contained it and erat indicated did. this is a place that is third world. if they can do it, along with senegal, they can do it. >> these are discussions based on science and not fear, right? >> that's right. >> and that is going to do it for us. join me for one more hour alongside eric shaw. right now fox news is reporting "american dream on the ballot." that's hosted by bret baier. that's right here on fox news.
