agent was inadvertently shipped out of the facility last month. army lab workers thought the anthrax was dead. the samples have been irradiated, a process that typically kills any living spores that could cause illness. then it was sent to commercial and government labs in nine states and south korea. it piece it's not clear what went wrong, but on friday a lab in maryland reported one of the samples were still active. >> they were supposed to be dead. >> reporter: dr. william schaffner is the head of preventative medicine at vanderbilt university. >> after a relatively short period of time the person can become very very sick. it's largely a lung infection first of all and then the organism can actually get into the bloodstream and make you very very ill, indeed. >> reporter: the cdc says that so far it has advised four workers in labs in delaware texas, and wisconsin, to take antibiotics because they may have been exposed to the anthrax

samples. and the u.s. army says 22 military personnel are among those being treated for potentially dangerous contact, but the pentagon says at this point there is no known risk to the public. >> margaret thanks. this morning, the irs is investigating whether criminals in russia are behind cyber security breach. hackers stole tax information from more than 100,000 americans. jeff pegues is in washington with more on this multimillion dollar theft. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. the group responsible stole taxpayers' personal information and taxpayer transcripts to obtain refunds. the attackers claim the refunds using the agency's online "get transcript" application. experts say the type of information could be used to open bank accounts and lines of credit. irs commissioners say the thieves claimed almost $50 million. the irs is notifying everyone affected and offering free

credit monitoring. its criminal unit has also launched an investigation. republican senator orrin hatch of utah questioned the agency's security standards. he says "that the irs -- home to highly sensitive information on every single american and every single company doing business here at home -- was vulnerable toll this attack is simply unacceptable." the irs has temporarily disabled the "get transcript" service. the commissioner is scheduled to testify before the senate finance committee next tuesday along with the treasury department's inspector general. norah? >> all right jeff thank you. a florida pilot faces charge this is morning of flying while drunk. the cessna plane left the runway wednesday and hit a shed at melbourne international airport. christopher hall was arrested after the incident. his son was also in the plane. neither was hurt when it struck the building. in colorado this morning, jurors in the aurora theater shooting trial expect to hear from a court-ordered

xi exists visibility marginal." on theater 13 "avoid." and an asterisk next to theater 9. he later carried out his massacre there, armed with multiple weapons. wednesday, survivor stefan moulton, paralyzed from the chest down took the stand. >> i remembered getting shot and i tried to call my brother's name but i couldn't get the words out. >> reporter: jansen young was in the theater that night. her boyfriend was killed. >> did you see his face? >> yes, his face was turned towards me. >> were his eyes opened or closed? >> they were closed. >> did you ever see him take another breath? >> i do not. >> reporter: on one of the last pages of the notebook holmes estimated it would take police three minutes to arrive at the scene. he later wrote "no consequence, no fear, embrace the hatred." holmes has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.

variants and a lot of them aren't validated. >> are there some specific examples where they've gotten it wrong? >> i can tell you two that are personal. the first is a family member in my family who was tested at alzheimer's and found that she was at higher risk. and for two years they tested her again and they found she had a variant that protected her from it so for two years she was so stressed. another man is on a molecular targeted drug a year later that is responding and he's working

every day. >> do you recommend having your genome mapped? >> it's better to do no test than the wrong test. right now it very hard to know what the right test is. if your doctor says let's get a genetic test, i want you to ask where is it being done and is this the best place to have the test done? >> it's scary information to get two different results going to the doctor. when you're sick you really want somebody to steer you the right way. this is more confusing to me. >> get a second opinion. always good to see you, dr. david agus. >> great to see you guys. >> ahead, gigi stone woods takes us inside the company helping to chang the way americans buy beds. >> coming up on "cbs this morning," a hot new startup disrupting the sleep industry.

that the characters staid frozen in time waiting for us to return and breathe the life back into them so i started to kind of play around with the different personalities that characters could have while the book is closed and who they really are when there's no one reading them. >> and she brought it to you, mom, and you thought, great idea or i don't know? >> my idea is maybe there was a prince stuck in a fairy-tale. when she told me that i thought, my daughter is just brilliant. who hasn't had a literary crush. >> what's interesting to me is writing is in your genes and you knew for a while and you said, this is what i want to do as a writer. >> yeah. i definitely think it's a genetic thing. i know if you ask us how we wrote, it's -- it was very collaborative. we actually sat side by side and speak the entire book out loud. my mom would type because she was angry. >> are you on computer?

>> yes. >> and we would -- i would say a lie and she would counter with another line and we would go back and forth like that. and there are moments when we were stumbling over each other to get out this brilliant idea and we realized we were saying the exact same thing. >> that's very, very sweet. we have the picture the day you guys finished the novel which is just great. what are all the little post-it notes. >> there were times sammy wasn't quite as motivated as she could have been and we had sparkly little glitle pens. and she was writing notes like i'm a love machine and your accent scares me. we would take it and post it. so the very last day we were writing we took all the post-its and took a selfie. >> what happens when there's disagreements because i hear sometimes they can get very intense. >> we actually argue add lot

when we were writing, particularly this book. i think it's because sammy felt more confident as a writer she had one under her belt. >> but you had 22 under your belt. >> would sit there and say okay wee going to start off and say the sky is blue. >> she would say, why, how do you know that. she would really challenge me and i would challenge her. >> did you like billion challenged by your daughter? >> it took many a while. yeah, because part of the process was learning i may haved had more experience but her gut instincts were so strong i had to treat her like a co-author rather than an intern. it was the last day and she came up in the office and was really horrific. >> as was my mother. >> we were screaming at each other. it should have been the last day. my poor husband came up with a steamed platter and said look what i've got for you and we

said, we don't need that right now and he said, okay i'll take them down. and then we said leave them and we ate them all. think it made for a tighter more emotional book the second time around. >> and so samantha quickly, the plot line without giving too much away is about? >> the first book is about bringing this prince who is stuck inside this fairy-tale and really tired of saying and doing the same thing every day going through his story every time someone reads. >> we can just say this. ♪ ♪ ♪
