We begin with breaking news from the centers for Disease Control. Its just announced, the first confirmed case in the United States of a potentially deadly disease called middle eastern respiratory syndrome, or mrs. Doctors say its a virus that causes severe pneumonia and kills a third of the people who get it. The patient is now in quarantine in a hospital in indiana. Now the cdc reports its looking for people who came in contact with him. John roberts has more from atlanta, home of the centers for Disease Control. John . Reporter this is breaking story, and this is a big story as well. This is what everybody worried about. Up until now we had not seen middle east respiratory symsyndrome here in the United States but the centers for Disease Control confirming the first case here in the u. S. , raising fears we could see more up until now there had been a number of suspects cases but theyve all turn out to be negative in the end. The person who brought the disease back from the middle east is a fellow from indiana. He went to the middle east two weeks ago in saudi arabia, where its believed he pick up the virus. Theres been a dramatic explosion in the number of mers cases in saudi arabia. On the 24in of april he boarded a plane from saudi arabia to london, then caught a connection to ohare in chicago, and from there he got on a bus and went back home to indiana. British Public Health authorities areunder generally looking for people on the flying with him from saudi arabia to london, while the center for Disease Control is looking for people who were on the flying with him from london heathrow away to chicago and then on the bus back home to indiana. What is middle east respiratory syndrome . Its called by the corona virus. A it causes severe respiratory illness, fever, cough, shortless of breath. This is the most troubling part. Look at this fatility rate. Anywhere between 30 and 50 and among some groups its even higher. It spreads through close contact between people. So far theres no sustained parade humantohuman but havent been some clusters. Heres more about the clusters. People who got infected and have either infected very close family members, and then it stop. Never win beyond the household. And then in some healthcare settings, this has been situations where a person was infected and then infected the Healthcare Worker that was taking care of them. The big concern in all of this is that with a few small mew takes this is a virus that could become easily transmissible between people because we saw that with sarz coming out of asia. If is it easily transmissible, how exactly does it spread . Well, if its not easily transmissible so far it spreads through fairly contact, between people kissing, for example, saliva, if you share a glass or eating utensil or food, if somebody who was infected were to cough into their hand and then you shook hands and touched your nose or mouth. You have to have a fairly large number of virus particles into youre respiratory tract to get sick. But with the way this is exploding now, and there have been more than 140 new cases in saudi arabia in april, more than in the entire past year, centers for defers control folks, folks at the world health organization, very concerned the virus may already be changing. Because its a virus, antibiotics are not going to do any good. Right . Thats the thing. You can really only treat the symptoms when it comes to middle east respiratory syndrome. Theres no treatment to get rid of the virus and theres no vaccine, but you can bet if we see more cases crop up, particularly in the United States there will be a drive on to create some sort of vaccine very quickly. If close contact is the way this thing is spread, i imagine they are desperately trying to find everybody else who was on the bus with this guy. They are. As we mentioned, on the plane from saudi arabia to london, the plane were trying to get the flying and the number and the date. We believe it was either the 24th or 25th of april, from lon don to chicago, and then on the bus as well. We understand this fella is in a negative pressure isolation tent and Healthcare Workers who deal with him have to wear protective gear, a goteam from the cdc is on its way there or is already there. Its my understanding that many of the cases have involved Health Professionals who were trying to treat patients who had mers. They have. Initially middle east respiratory syndrome was taught to be a disease of people who were older and more frail, people who already had existing medical conditions, but recently a baby who was months old developed this and died. Its since been seen in children, in people who are in their mid20s who are otherwise healthy. Thats why this is so troubling, john, and now that it has come here to the United States this, raises a big Public Health alarm. The cdc has been very vigilant in monitoring this. Thats why the caught this so quickly. What you have to remember about mers is that while mortality rate has been between 30 and 50 there may be a lot of people who had this and didnt even get sick. So we dont in the entire scope of this yet or exactly how deadly it is. But among people who have become acutely ill, who had these confirmed cases, the mortality rate is troublingly high. John roberts with the concerning news that the first mers case is in the United States. First known, anyway. John, thank you. Police say a teenager was getting ready to blow up his school and kill as many people as he could, and cops say this wasnt just talk. This kid had all the Deadly Weapons to make it happen. This is in waseca, minnesota, a woman called nine one one after she saw the 17yearold suspect acting strangely at this storage unit. Inside police found a slew of supplies to build Pressure Cooker bombs. Investigators then searched the teens house and turn up seven guns, three working bombs, along with black clothes and a ski mask. Police say the suspect detailed his plans in a journal. They say the teen planned to go murder his mom, his dad, and his sister, before setting off the bombs in his school cafeteria. He also planned to gun down students and kill the School Security officer when he tried to help the wounded. Police say the teen was just a few weeks away from pulling off the attack. He told the cops he would have shot the officer who caught him if that guy brought a gun to the storage unit where they found him. Mike tobin is live. Police say this thing was on the verge of happening, mike. Reporter its really only by a couple of strokes of luck thats plan did not execute. Police say the 17yearold had spent at least ten months, meticulously planning this attack to, quote, kill as many students as he could he had successfully built bombs, built an arsenal of weapons and loaded the bombs with shrapnel that tear into flesh of victims. It was neighbor8n . n . n . n . n . n whm acting suspiciously around the storming facility and called the police, and stopped the plot. He shut the door and i thought it looked funny because normally you see people come here, opportunity take ten minutes to open up a storage shed. Police say the pick idolized the killers from the columbine massacre and originally intended to time his attack for the anniversary of the columbine attack. That was april 20th. Fell on easter sunday, no one would be in school. Did anybody see signs of trouble . You find that in cases like this. People say, i knew the guy was in bad shape. Anyone who has spoken publicly had seen no signs at owl. The superintendent of schools said he was a good kid, an honor role student, no history of trouble. Wasnt tear my popular but wasnt an outcast. One student identified himself as the suspects best friend, said this kid needs help. The information has been revealed in the case that we have escaped what could have been a horrific experience. We can either believe that this occurred as a result of a lucky break or, is a do, choose to believe that god was looking out for all of us. Now, the only strange behavior that we know of that he spent a lot of time, according to neighbors, throwing axes and knives at a tree in his yard. He had set off bombs at nearby playground. Lets take this to our area, the former federal prosecutor, anna marie, and criminal defense attorney, heather hansen. He is 17 years old. Is this a kid who will be tried as a juvenile or adult court. Most e most likely Juvenile Court because it was attachmented. If he had because it was attempted. He succeeded in killing anyone it would be taken to adult court. Because he didnt kill issue in buff if its Juvenile Court, thats three or now years. It depends. He has six counts of the possession of the fireplaces and each of those counts could be up to ten years. Depends on the judge, on the way the case goes in. An seems like thebes witness against the kid is the kid himself, the statements he gave police. He gave them the keys to his gun locker. He had put together bombs in this bedroom. He told them also he was he had actually exploded a few smaller bombs to make sure they were going to work. To make sure his plan would be effective when he did do it, and he had a journal or a become a book of his own notes, 180 pains, as to his exact plans what he was going to do and how to carry it out. Heather, youre the defense attorney here. I youre defending someone like this, dont you say, oh, it was all just a fantasy, he wasnt going to do it . Thats your best bet in this case, because the insanity defense is very difficult in minnesota. The strictest of all statess. And its clear he enough it was wrong because he mentioned it in his journal. You have to say he had no intent to actually go through with that and backed up with the fact he said he planned to do it on the anniversary of columbine and that fell on a sunday and he said he would have shot a policeman but he didnt have a gun so you use that say he never would have gone through with it. The planning was apparently meticulous. As a prosecutor you look at this and say, its a slamdunk. When you fine thats what youre looking for in your idea cal case as a prosecutor. The evidence, the evidence is in his bedroom, in his hand writing, in his own words, him telling them what he planned to do. How he was going to first kill his parents, then set a fire to distract the officials that come to help, and then good to the school, and then finish off the children who didnt get killed by the explosion by using guns. Very devastating case. And its going to be very hard for the defense to overcome that. Again, i come back to the fact, all right, he has some gunsbuilt the bombs. Apparently, but if Everything Else is just words, how do they prove intent here . He has to have taken positive steps towards doing it, and i agree. The prosecution is going to have a very strong case. The other issue here, though, that may come up, is whether or not he was given appropriate miranda warnings. As a child in the past the years the Supreme Court said how important it us when someone is under age to get the appropriate warnings. Here the way the story has come out, that may be something the defense can use. Is it possible he could walk if he wasnt mirandizeed . That would bell be a real stretch but you never know. For the first time, a public Court Appearance for the teenager accused of killing a classmate reportedly because she turned him down for the prom. Today, word of some unusual behavior from the teen according to his own lawyer. Thats coming up next. We need it right away we cannot let the fans down.

Police say 38 people died in a building fire that started during a identifying between prorussian demonstrators and supporter0s the ukrainian go it happened in odessa on the black. Police are not saying exactly how the fire started. A live report in just a few minutes. A 16yearold accused of stabbing to death his classmate reportedly because she would not go to the prom with him, was inside a Connecticut Court today. Christopher plaskin is charms with murder and he is being tried as adult. The attack happened a week ago, hours before at the prom which the school postponed. This is the victim, maren sanchez. She also was 16. The suspect threw her down stairs, choked her and stabbed her over and over again with a kitchen. Cops found the suspect in the principals office, his hands can clothes covered with blood. And he said, i did it. Just arrest me. David, what happened in court . Reporter what happened today was procedural but what was significant we got our first look at this accused 16yearold killer. Previously he had been charged of a juvenile and proceedings were behind closed doors. Now he is being treated as an adult defendant. During the fiveminute hearing, he didnt say a word. No visible emotion. Later, his lawyer says he is on suicide watch, on medication, and exhibiting signs of psychosis but he is aware of what is happening. He certainly understands he is charged with murder, he understands who we are. He understands what our role is and he understands the nature of the fact that this is a criminal procedure. Whether he understands the full ramifications, that remains to be seen. His parents were not in court. Theyre said to be overwhelmed by the tragedy. An uncle has been appointed guardian. At least he will remain in that position until the next hearing. What about a possible motive . Anything more on that . The prosecutor refused to comment today about reports that he was rejected by sanchez as a prom date, allegedly turned violent. He would only say police are looking into what he termed, im quoting now, every angle. Seems the entire community of milford connecticut is in mourning. Last night hundreds turned out for sanchezs wake at a funeral home. The prosecution feels if this case goes to trial he will get a fair hearing without a change of venue. Y the internet age where all of you have this all over the United States and in a matter of minutes, in a small state like connecticut, change of venue doesnt amount to a whole heck of a lot. If convicted over murder he faces 60 years behind bars. He is slated to return to court next month. Just an awful story. David lee miller. Thank you.

According to Government Data employers added 288,000 jobs in april. That more than economists predicted. And it marks the biggest gain since 2012. But the news did not seem to have a major impact on wall street today. A quick look at the dow, 16,524. Analysts say one of the biggest reasons the Unemployment Rate fell so much is because there was a sharp drop in the number of americans looking for work. The were live at the white house.
