Turns into the friends school. Derek wa more. Reporter well, look at the area here at excalibur, nothing remarkable about it. But this was the scene at 2 30 when this accident happened. 13 people in all. Including an suv that ended up on its roof. There was a mini van with several people involved, five kids and two adults. Now, all the kids were taken to the hospital but they all survived. All had nonlifethreatening injuries, all the people involved were wearing seat bes or all the children were in their safety seats and miraculously everybody survived. My family was okay, my little nephew, i put him on my back, just running through the whole street because it was all blocked off. There was a refuse lea to see s was okay. The first reaction was to slam on the brakes, the air bags were deployed. I turned around and saw that they were okay. Now, that woman was driving and the man that you saw there, that was her brother. You can imagine the fear he was feeling. He had to come all the way from wheaton, walking up on the scene. You can imagine how happy he was had he saw everybody in his family was okay. Some were taken to the hospital. Two children taken to the hospital were medevaced. But again, they have nonlifethreatening injuries, we can thank all of them for the restraint systems that were involved and the fact everybody involved were using the restraint systems. An investigation is under way to figure out what caused the second space disaster in a week. Virgin galactic Space Tourism vehicle, spaceship ii, exploded over the mohave desert this afternoon. One pilot is dead, another seriously ended. The Richard Branson funded ship was designed to take tourists up in the atmosphere, and was designed for paying customers next year. That comes after the unmanned rocket exploded just after liftoff on wallops island. It was on a mission to resupply the International Space station. We still dont know the cause of the crash. And an attack on a d. C. Officer, pat collins learned how the suspect carrying an axe just learned how some suspects worried. Rep it had some in brooklyn talking, some looking over their shoulder. A man with an axe aftmbushes a Police Officer with an axe like this. Now, you dont have to ask people what they think. Just show them the picture. It is a picture not easily forgotten, a large axe impaled into the drivers side of the window. We showed it to people here in brooklyn. It is absolutely brutal. Absolutely brutal. This is in our neighborhood. A family neighborhood. So horrible. Reporter this happened around 3 00 this afternoon as a Police Officer went to check out a suspicious man in an alley here. He thought the guy had a baseball bat. It turned out to be an axe. From new york, that is what it looked like to me. Reporter the officer ambushed. His car window smashed. Police say the officer tried to arrest the suspect, that there was a fight and the suspect ran away. It is a part of the world we live in now. I do not feel safe. Probably should not be Walking Around here by myself. Reporter now, this vicious attack comes on halloween. Chief lanier has this to say about that. On halloween night you have to be a little extra cautious because think of the costumes people will be wearing. Especially the young adults and adults out in costumes. So yes, were going to have to be extra cautious tonight. I dont think there is a threat at this point to members of the community. It appears that this person specifically targeted the Police Officer. Im still going out. Were taking our daughter here. It could happen at any time. Were all aware of that. Reporter now, you are likely to see increased Police Patrols here in brooklyn tonight. Live in northeast, pat collins, news 4. Thanks, pat, that attack now has police here in d. C. Working with police up in new york city. They experienced a hatchet attack there last week. Were trying to figure out if these types of attacks have a common motive. Are there any similarities, do they have the idea of motive as the investigation continues, well continue to coordinate with them with them if necessary. And stay on the same page. The nypd says so far they have not linked their suspect to any terrorist organizations. Now to a big clue about the mindset of the man linked to three attacks on young women in virginia, a lawyer for Jesse Matthew set the stage in court today for a potential insanity defense. Matthew will come to Fairfax County in a couple of weeks to face charges of attempted murder and rape. Well hear why matthews two lawyers had a public disagreement and why prosecutors may need to fly in a woman from out of the country, coming up in the next half hour. There is a Major Development in the ebola quarantine controversy up in maine. Today, a judge rejected the states bid to force kaci hickox to stay home. She is the nurse who returned recently from west africa. The judge agreed that because kaci hickox does not have any symptoms of infection she is not a danger to the public.

It is actually part of a trend that i saw on this road trip, 3,000 miles, by the way no sleep, no sleep until election day. There is an antiincumbent atmosphere here when you look at what hogan has been doing, larry hogan is trying to make Anthony Brown the incumbent by running against the omalley brown, it doesnt matter if it is a democratic or republican incumbent, there is antiincumbent out there. We have seen there are more races within five points right now in the polls in senate and gubernatorial battles than i have seen in my lifetime. It is unbelievable, really because you have a group of voters fed up with leadership. It sounds like it will be key to get the voters out this this case, you have the campaigns are treating it as a base election. But there is a voter, i found them everywhere, with arkansas voters, charlotte mothers, georgia businessmen who said theyre fed up with the polarization, they dont think either party really provides much leadership. And they havent figured out which nostril to hold. The left or right. And i think that in the end will sway things. It feels like there is a tilt toward the republicans that everything is sort of breezing their direction. But not an avalanche yet. Do you get the sense all of those states that you have been visiting, do you get the sense at all this talk and fear about ebola and the white house reaction to it, is playing a factor at all . Can i tell you, not to burst the bubble here between my friends in washington and new york, ebola has not been an issue at all. Isis is an issue, the issue of terrorism, sort of heard a lack of leadership from washington. The ebola thing really doesnt feel real to them. It is but you get a case in your state, so. In georgia there is a little more acute because hartsfieldjackson intt in atla not coming up. Were going to have a bunch of new polls. We know people dont get enough numbers, right .

Sunday morning. And leaflets containing isis propaganda found in quantico, virginia, the fliers include an isis flag and arabic writings that say, we are here from mexico and came by train. Authorities are looking into this matter. There are indications the material may not be authentic. For example, the isis flag is printed upsidedown and back wards. And a warning for kids as they head out to trickortreat. Boxes of candy have turned up laced with marijuana. Police seized the candy earlier this week before it got to its destination in laurel. It was shipped from colorado where marijuana was legal. Investigators dont believe that candy was meant for children. But they put it on display today so parent s can make sure it doesnt end up in their childs halloween bag.

Prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty. Officers continue to search an abandoned air strip and hangar where frein surrendered to u. S. Marshals yesterday. There was no struggle with law enforcement, he has talked to us about things that occurred to him as he made his way through the woods. Reporter like the scratches on his face and head police say were gathered during his time on the run, officers gather evidence through the woods as they try to put together how the sharpshooter evaded the teams for nearly seven weeks. We gained some insight without going into a lot of specific detail i would characterize it, much as i said all along that he was able to get into cabins and other unoccupied structures. Reporte but in the end, with more than a thousand officers joining in the manhunt, the pressure and conditions in the woods apparently took their toll. He knew the end was coming, a matter of time before he was captured. Repor an accused assasin with nowhere to hide, facing the community he terrorized for nearly two months.
