Five babies here have been diagnosed with the disease this week. Health Officials Say<\/a> the state has seen only ten cases in the last five years. This is a highly contagious disease. There are likely to be more cases. And so we shouldnt be surprised by that. Reporter there have been at least 150 cases of measles in 14 states during this recent outbreak. Most of them are in california and many of the cases are linked to disney theme parks there. The five infants diagnosed with measles . Illinois in illinois are oleander the age of 1. Too young to receive the vaccine. Every unvaccinated child and employee from the Day Care Center<\/a> is supposed to stay home for at least the next three weeks. But even that might not be enough to stop the measles. We will do everything we can to identify if there is a point source of this. Well try to do our best in identifying that. But at some point, the the cats out of the bag. Reporter the patients from this Day Care Center<\/a> are being treated at home. Danielle nottingham, cbs news. Are you immune to the measles . Depending on your ages you may or may not have gotten the same vaccines being used today or you may have kneaded a vaccine not have needed a vaccine to go to school. Theres a simple blood test that can let you know if youre susceptible to the measles. Its not appropriate anymore to just go to the doctors and say i think i had measles. You have to check or be reimmunized. Born between 1957 and 1967 theres a chance that you could have received a dead version of the virus. Which was basically ineffective for stopping measles. The measles blood test costs 49 and locally you can get it at Passport Health<\/a> in d. C. , maryland and virginia. This time yesterday, we brought this to you as breaking news. Now its official.

Police in frederick are still searching for the person who shot a 14 and 15yearold outside Frederick High School<\/a> wednesday night. Meanwhile, students are getting ready at both frederick high and Frederick Middle School<\/a> west Frederick Middle School<\/a> to go back to school for the First Time Since<\/a> the shooting. Ing the asking is live outside Delia Goncalves<\/a> is live outside Frederick High School<\/a> with more. Do we have any idea who was responsible for this yet delia . Reporter police are following several leads and they received those leads from a lot of the students who were here at that basketball game. But certainly we have not gotten any information or any detail from police that would lead us to believe that they are close to making an arrest. So certainly a bit of unease by a lot of the students who will be returning to classes today. We are expecting kids to start arriving in about a half hour here at Frederick High School<\/a>. And they will be arriving to a lot of security. Because police say we want to make sure they are comfortable coming back to school. But as i said a lot of anxiety because of these shooters that are still at large and a lot of people talking about gangs. The students at Thomas Johnson<\/a> high school say both victims repped local gangs. Police are telling us the boys are 14 and 15 and they were shot in the leg and in the back. It was indeed a targeted attack police say and theyre looking into Gang Activity<\/a> after interviewing a lot of the kids who were at the basketball game. Being exposed to people who you know could do such a thing. Kind of disappoints me. I never would have guessed that it would escalate to this point. Our schools and campuses are safe. Reporter again, they are saying that the school is safe. Campuses are safe. Lots of police will be here to make sure students feel safe when they return to classes today. But scolytidders say they are reviewing the Security Policy<\/a> moving forward. Back to you in the studio. Delia goncalves thank you.

The Fairfax County<\/a> Sheriffs Office<\/a> is demanding answers this morning. They want to know why a woman who was in Police Custody<\/a> is now in the hospital on life support. They say that 37yearold woman suffered some sort of medical emergency after she was tasered. And she was tasered after she physically resisted deputies adds they prepared to transfer her from fairfax. The womans name has not been released. The family of a man killed by police could get some answers today in court. The family of john deere wants to judge to force the county to release results of the internal Affairs Investigation<\/a> in the case. The officer who shot geer in august 2013 is adam torres and hes still on the force. Four other Police Officers<\/a> plus geers father and best friend all say torres shot geer as he stood in the dooway with his ands haun doorway with his lands up.

Union leaders say they are still have communication problems to fix. So is this a problem just near the lenfant it more widespread issue . Nikki burdine is live outside Lenfant Plaza<\/a> metro station to explain what we know so far. Good morning nikki. Reporter good morning. Thats right we heard from a lot of frustrated Firefighter Union<\/a> officials and paramedic Union Leaders<\/a> yesterday in a hearing with d. C. Council. Who say its not just problems with communicating inside metro tunnels, like the one here at Lenfant Plaza<\/a>. But it was also problems throughout d. C. Buildings in down on the. Now downtown. Now we heard from the head of the Paramedics Union<\/a> who said think actually missed some emergency runs because the calls dont show up on the displays. Its not what happened in the response here at the plaza and metro however it was a 13 minute time lag between the first report of fire and the actual dispatch. The reason for the wait time though is still under investigation. The fire union does say they think a firefighter should be assigned fulltime to metros control center to help get a jumpstart on any problems that might arise. But the Biggest Issue<\/a> they see when they go out on these emergencies is a lack of communication. Their radios just dont work in downtown buildings and in metro tunnels. And in fact a lot will have oils to theyre told of times theyre told just use your cell phones. The frustration from these leaders at the d. C. Council meeting yesterday. At that time the latest at la tap thats the latest at Lenfant Plaza<\/a>. Im Nikki Burdine<\/a>, 9news now. A lawmakers wants to put packing on hold in fracking on hold in maryland.

Theres a push in the Virginia House<\/a> to prohibit state agencies from asking potential employees if theyve ever been arrested, charged or convicted of a crime. Nick giovanni is live in the newsroom with that and more this morning. Good morning nick. Mike, good morning, lets start with a crime this morning the fbi is still investigating the cyber attack at anthem ink. They operate of course Bluecross Blueshield<\/a> plans among others in more than a dozen states. Last week the Company Discovered<\/a> hackers accessed as many as 80 million customer records exposing Social Security<\/a> numbers, birth dates and addresses. Its the largest known breach since last years attack on Community Health<\/a> systems which affected 4. 5 million patients, that industry is being targeted because according to the fbi, criminals are willing to pay 50 times more for medical records than for a stolen credit card. Since they contain enough personal information to create a completely false identity. Meanwhile that would keep agencies from asking whether new applicants have ever been arrested, charged with or convicted of a crime. As you both mentioned, now the socalled ban the box bill goes to the house of delegates which has rejected similar measures in the past. Meanwhile theres a shake up to report at sony pictures, nearly three months after the studio was the target of the massive cyber attack, amy pascal is out as cochairman.
