spreading. tonight, the ebola scare continues to widen. >> that's right. we have a team of reporters working every angle of this story. let's start with news4's derrick ward live from howard university hospital. derrick? >> reporter: well, by all outward appearances, things are just normal here at howard university hospital. but it's anything but. deep within the facility, there are special protocols under way because they have a patient who showed some signs of ebola. it's not a case of ebola, a case of ebola has not been verified but they are want to go error on the side of precaution. a patient is showing what they are calling ebola-like symptoms and traveled recently to nigeria being watched closely. no indication that the patient has ebola or has been exposed. the patient has been kept in quarantine as an abundance of caution and are following

protocols, including isolating the patient. the symptoms usually don't present themselves until 2 to 21 days after a person is exposed. and exposure requires a person come into contact with someone who is already infected. contact with bodily fluids, especially. that can make health care workers among the most susceptible. as for any patient with ebola, there is no cure and only the symptoms can be treated. >> some of my best students became physicians and they know what they're doing. i just wish they would have told us sooner. >> reporter: the centers for disease control says monitoring a patient is vital, especially when you consider that other diseases like malaria can often present some of the same symptoms. >> i think it's very important that any faculty of the university take the right precautions to protect themselves and be knowledgeable about the situation going on today. >> reporter: let's put this in perspective. since late july, there have been 100 consultations. that's where a local hospital or

authority will contact the cdc and say, hey, we've got someone who looks like they have ebola. out of that 100, 15 have resulted in tests. and out of those 15 tests, there's only been one confirmed case. and hopefully officials here are thinking that's not what they have. we are live in northwest. derrick ward, news4. >> thank you, derrick. team coverage continues with news4's jackie bensen outside shady grove where another individual is being monitored tonight. jackie. >> reporter: the information we have from shady grove should inspire confidence that this system we saw break down a little bit in dallas, this public health system, is working. now what we're told by the hospital is that within the past 24 hours, they received a patient who presented with flu-like symptoms at a travel history that matches criteria for possible ebola. the care team implemented guidelines established by the cdc. the patient remains in isolation

and is showing signs of improvement. and at this time, lab tests indicate the patient has another illness, and we do not have a confirmed case of ebola. and, again, it is very likely that we will see things like this from hospitals throughout this area. remember, we're a very international area. people come here from all over the world. as this progresses forward. that first line system of emergency room personnel spotting things and taking the right steps sounds like they did exactly what they were supposed today here. live in rockville, jackie bensen, news4. >> thanks, jackie. just getting information from our sister station in richmond, where two people from virginia are now being tested for the ebola virus. the department of health says they're being isolated, because they recently traveled to western africa. so far, there are no confirmed cases in the commonwealth. but public health teams here and across the country have intensified their effort to make sure they prevent the deadly virus from spreading.

nbc's jay gray has developments from dallas, texas. >> reporter: this afternoon, hazmat teams cleared away items inside the apartment where dallas ebola patient thomas eric duncan spent several days before being rushed to the hospital. and where four people who were with him have been ordered to stay inside with no visitors. duncan is still in a hospital isolation unit and serious but stable condition, while at least 17 people, including children in the dallas area, are being monitored daily by experts from the centers for disease control. doctors are also keeping a close eye on a patient in washington who say they have recently traveled to west africa and show early symptoms of the disease. >> the key elements to that control and the prevention of outbreaks when ebola rises in a community is to first identify cases, isolate them, care for them on the condition that protect the health care workers and importantly, perform contact tracing. >> reporter: asmoke u mukpo

tested positive while work with dr. nancy snyderman in man rovia and is quarantined. he'll return for treatment this weekend. >> the fear is he becomes sicker before we have a chance to transport him. and that's the big concern we have now. >> reporter: the same medevac transport will also bring dr. schneiderman and three other nbc staffers back to the states where they'll be in isolation for the next 21 days. >> the rest of my team very healthy. bev within extraordinarily vigilant. >> reporter: to this point, no other member of the team has shown any symptoms of the virus. jay gray, nbc news, dallas. right now, doctors across the country are on high alert for possible ebola cases. one factor, whether patients have traveled within the past 21 days to west africa. and if they do find a suspended case, the centers for disease control says hospitals should

isolate patients and notify local and state health departments. ebola symptoms include fever higher than 101.5. vomiting, diarrhea, stomach and muscle pain. we have a lot more information about the ebola virus for you online, including how to avoid the illness yourself. it's all available on nbcwashington.com. let's take a shift to the weather. rain getting closer to moving in. and temperatures, they're going to be dropping. veronica johnson is tracking it all from storm center 4. hey, vj. >> hey there. yeah, first the showers and then some big-time temperature changes coming our way for the second half of the weekend, really. take a look. we've got rain out there right now. but not any huge puddles on area roads. because the rainfall rates just not that high right now. or heavy. sandy hook down around areas of cablestown and blue mont. rain in frederick county, maryland, inching into loudoun county while advancing off to the east. there is a look at the rainfall rates at 1100ths of an inch of

miriam carey's mother stood quietly. family by her side. they held signs and pictures of carey at the foot of the u.s. capitol in silent protest. the officers who shot and killed the 34-year-old mother one year ago today were cleared of any wrongdoing. october 3, 2014, miriam carey drove into a checkpoint of the perimeter of the white house grounds. she sped toward the capitol. police and secret service stopped her at the foot of the building. they approached her car. carey reversed, hit a patrol c and took off. police and secret service fired nine shots. then a chase. carey crashed outside of the capitol. carey was shot five times. her 13-month-old daughter was in the back seat, unharmed. the officers were cleared. supporters with the family today point to recent security breaches at the white house where nonlethal means of force were used.

>> i maintain that this sister here offered no clear and present danger to that police officer when she obliged to turn around and go the opposite direction. >> miriam carey. miriam carey. miriam carey. miriam carey. miriam carey. miriam carey. >> reporter: they repeated her name five times. once for each time she was shot. they released butterflies that marched the path carey drove that day. her mother holding hands with carey's niece. carey's family filed a $75 million wrongful death lawsuit against capitol police and the secret service. today, despite the protest being a very public display, the family's attorney was insistent they not speak with us. chris? >> that shooting kristin just mentioned is just one of the incidents that could lead to a complete review of secret service protocol. role call reports that california republican darrell issa and maryland democrat

story in hopes of raising awareness about mental illness. metro says it's going to have to shut down part of the red line for seven consecutive weekends. i'm adam tuss. we'll tell you when and where, coming up.

huh, fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. everybody knows that. well, did you know you that former pro football player ickey woods will celebrate almost anything? unh-uh. number 44... whoooo! forty-four, that's me! get some cold cuts... get some cold cuts... get some cold cuts! whooo! gimme some! geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. whoo! forty-four ladies, that's me!

whoo...gonna get some cold cuts today! metro says it has no choice. several stations will have to be closed over several weekends so

crews can fix water problems. the shutdown will affect the grovener and bethesda stations. adam tuss is in bethesda with all the details. this is going to be a challenge for people, isn't it, adam? >> reporter: certainly will be, doreen. and metro says it's going to have to shut down this section of the red line for seven concluded weekends to get a handle on the problem. >> there's no place else that has a issue that is this unmanageable. and it is costing us this much money. >> reporter: 3 million bucks a year to constantly fix the switches and components beneath the medical center station. the problem is that the geology allows water to trickle through the old rock here on a sunny day. when it rains it really gushes. that leaves mud, dirt, debris and worn-out parts. >> we are spending, money and time and effort where we would

rather put someplace else. >> reporter: they have come up with a plan to stop the leaks. the rail chief sat down with news4 to explain it all. >> what we'll be doing is putting in basically -- it's like a false roof where we'll be able to come in with these precast panels. these precast panels will interlock. >> reporter: one by one, those precast concrete panels will be lifted into place, a slow and tedious process. the reason why metro will have to close this section of the rail line for seven consecutive weekends. that work will happen in 2016, but metro has to get ready for the work right now, which means some closures up until that point. and metro says it will use the closures to also upgrade the bethesda station, make adjustments for the planned purple line and fix peers which carry over rockville pike near grovener. and when the rail line shuts down, of course, that means riders will have to jump to the bus. shuttle buses will be set up

along already busy wisconsin avenue. reporting live at medical center, adam tuss, news4. we are prepared over the long run to confront epidemics such as the one we're facing today. >> fast-moving developments here in washington today. doctors are now monitoring more people across the u.s. for possible symptoms of ebola, including testing two people in virginia. it is the latest in a long string of crises that have really put a lot of americans on edge. >> it seems like a long week between ebola and the secret service issues. and this afternoon another isis execution. chuck todd "meet the press" moderator. the white house, cdc, everybody was together for a news conference this afternoon. is it enough? >> i hope so. it's something they should have

done a couple weeks ago, to be honest. i think there is a sort of -- maybe a creditability gap with the government and part of it is their own making. all of this has been accumulating over time, where i think the public feels as if the government seems a step behind on everything. i hope they're not a step behind on ebola. >> right. >> and i think today this was an attempt to have a show of force. and you saw different agencies coming togeth. but you have to wonder, where was -- where was this ten days ago? i mean, because i think the public is in a little bit of a -- frankly, in a panic about it. and i understand the anxiety, because my gosh, look at everything that's been happening the last couple weeks and does seem as if government has been a step behind. the president himself, through his own intelligence under the bus when they said they underplayed it. so why shouldn't the american public be anxious? >> the president several weeks ago was sendi out troops, but maybe the message wasn't --

>> wasn't conveyed. i think you needed to have that show of force we saw today and maybe that is the beginning of sort of calming the nerves down of the american public. >> yeah, and some of that aid has been slow to get there, we know that. and now the military doubling the number of soldiers. >> there's that, but i'll tell you, i'm hearing from folks who say why are we sending more americans there? aren't they going to bring the disease back? and i think it's that, frankly, lack of understanding of how ebola does spread and how it doesn't spread. it's something the government needs to get its arms around, because i think that's the part of the community. we have tried to do our best, our own dr. nancy snyderman try to explain, this isn't something you're just going to catch if you sit next to somebody in an airplane. i think the public is nervous they're not getting the full information. >> ebola probably one of the things -- >> secret service, isis now -- also doing 29 days to the election. so we're going to have some

politics too of some new polls. i'll have former virginia senator jim web on the show. he's thinking about running for president. i'll have somebody from the white house. >> a new set. >> we've got a new set. always fun. >> construction going on -- >> buzzing -- it's going to be ready. we've -- actually teased it around. i think people can see it now. there it is. look at it. and that's how -- we started this about ten minutes ago. and as you can see, done. there it is. we've just got to move ladders out of the way. >> fancy. >> it's fun. a lot more campaign stuff up there. maybe even a few sports items or two. >> okay. we look forward to it. thank you, chuck. >> thanks, chuck. and a reminder about our coverage of the virginia u.s. senate race next week. republican ed gillespie and incumbent democrat senator mark warner have a debate hosted by news4 and fairfax county chamber of commerce. chuck todd will moderate october 7th at 7:00. it's going to air right here on news4. >> a lot of stuff going on

academy. the front itself moves out of our area by 7:00 to 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning and when it does, gets windy. we'll get sunshine in here tomorrow. so that at least is going to help. look at the temperatures. 61 around gaithersburg, germantown. 66 la plata and 60 in manassas. lower than what we have been feeling the last couple days. and the low temperature, the morning start on sunday morning, 46 degrees. that will be right in d.c. but look at the 30s from frederick to leesburg. 37 martinsburg. add wind to that and we'll be wind chilled in a few locations where it could feel 32, 34 degrees for a short period of time. we'll talk about what's next coming up our way for next week in a couple minutes. next, more hate graffiti found in a local neighborhood targeting a minority ground ball. how to stop these groups of hateful vandalism. seven years after dying in battle in world war two, a
