Little daredevilish in you. This is the cbs evening news with jeff glor. Glor good evening. The flu is epidemic in this country, and one reason is the vaccine is not working very well. A canadian study out today found its effective only 17 of the time. Last year here in the u. S. , the flu vaccine of the 34 effective. Hospitals right now are struggling to keep up. Here is mark strassmann. Reporter this emergency room at atlantas Grady Memorial Hospital has been overwhelmed by the h3n2 virus. Starting this week, staff have quarantined new flu patients in this separate mobile hospital, typically reserved for disasters like hurricanes. So weve had, you know, id say about a 25 increase on certain days. Reporter dr. Hany atallah is gradys chief of emergency medicine. We physically just need the space to put a patient in. Thigoing to help solve that. Reporter who has not been as helpful as hoped is this years flu vaccine. Canadian researchers reported today that its less than 20 effective against the flus most dominant straining strain. In georgia, this flu epidemic has killed 37 people, 25 of them aged 65 or older. In neighboring north carolina, this state has reported 95 flu deaths. In all, 49 states have reported widespread flu outbreaks, and Health Officials say the flu seasons peak is two to three weeks away. It is a really terrible flu season. Reporter catherine lockler, a frustrated nurse in pensacola, recorded this youtube flu warning that now has more than three million views. And it is a cesspool of flu, a cesspool of funky flu at the e. R. Right now. So, please dont bring your team in. Please dont bring your healthy children, especially your newborn babies into the emergency room. Reporter children can be such germ magnets that grady hospital here has banned patient visits from anyone under the age of 14. And, jeff, georgia Health Officials told us the state expects to break its record of 59 flu deaths and soon. Glor all right, mark, thank you very much. Joining us now dr. Tara narula, our cbs news medical contributor. A cesspool never sounds good. No, it does not. Glor heed her advice. What do we take away from this report . So were all looking about what is the vaccine effectiveness going to be in this country . We have australia that tells us their vaccine effectiveness was about 10 . Now canadian data tellinginous their interim analysis its 10 to 20 . We will have information from the c. D. C. Released in one to two weeks that will give us more stats for whats going on here. Bottom line, we need a better vaccine. We need a universal vaccine. We need better production of the vaccine. Glor these low, low, numbers people say why get the vaccine . Thats the problem. For someone sitting at home who hasnt gotten vaccinated i think that would be the wrong message, i shouldnt get vaccinated. Every Health Official in the c. D. C. Says it is still a benefit. It can decrease the severity of the symptoms, can decrease your risk of complications, and it can also protect you against the other strains, influenza b, and h1n1. Please, get your shot, even if want effectiveness is low. Glor another dr. Narula. Thank you very much for being here. There was a School Shooting today, the third in less than two weeks. Police believe a girl, believed to be 12 years old, fired at classmates at the Salvador Castro Middle School near downtown los angeles. Mireya villarreal is there. Reporter the call for help came in just before 9 00 a. M. As a parent, this is everyones worstcase nightmare. Reporter Police Believe the shooter is a 12yearold girl. One of the Main Missions is the issue of finding out how a young person had access to a weapon, and i assure you, if we find out it came from an adult from a home, that the proper prosecutorial procedures will occur. Reporter two older students in a classroom were shot, one in the head. Three other people sustained minor injuries. Officers responded quickly, searching nearby classrooms and students for any additional weapons. They want our kids to stay in school for the rest of the day, but i dont understand how you under these circumstances theyre going to sit in class. Reporter many parents who raced to the school were stuck waiting at this nearby softball field for hours. You see it on tv and, you know, its actually happening here, and its just scary. Its like, this worlds crazy now. Reporter a bit of good news, though, jeff. Doctors say the boy who was shot in the head is very lucky the bullet did not hit any vital parts. Hes expected to make a full recovery. The other victims are in stable condition. Police do not have a motive at this time, but they continue to investigate and interview witnesses. Glor mireya villarreal, thank you very much. President trump is expected to authorize the release tomorrow of a classified memo about the russia investigation written by the chairman of the house intelligence committee. Democrats and the f. B. I. Are objecting. Here is justice correspondent jeff pegues. How much did you like the memo . Reporter the impending release of the memo touched raw nerves as the white house batted down rumors f. B. I. Director Christopher Wray was going to quit in protest. Releasing the information, which is based on classified intelligence, is unusual. Reporter it all goes back to president trumps 2016 campaign when the f. B. I. And the department of justice went to the foreign Intelligence Surveillance court, or fisa court, to approve a warrant to monitor thentrump Campaign Adviser carter page who was suspected of having illegal contacts with russian operatives. The fourpage memo, authorized by republican congressman, devin nunes, outlines alleged surveillance abuses, and it has deepened a severe partisan divide. Democrat adam schiff says it presents a distorted and unfair picture of how the f. B. I. Behaved and jeopardizes the special counsels russia investigation. They ought to be sending the message instead to the white house that were the president to fire bob mueller or rod rosenstein, that would be considered obstruction of justice, and it would bring downtown administration. Reporter House Speaker paul ryan denies its politically motivated. This memo is not indictment of the f. B. I. , of the department of justice. What it is, is the congress legitimate function of oversight to make sure that the fisa process is being used correctly. Reporter whether the f. B. I. Director will go to the mat to prevent the memos release remains an open question. Chris swecker say former assistant director of the bureau. Im not sure that this is that dieintheditch moment for chris wray. I think he would resign if this were something that he really, really felt strongly about. Reporter tonight, former f. B. I. Director james comey, who was fired by the president , weighed in, tweeting, American History shows that in the long run, weasels and liars never hold the field so long as good people stand up. That is a reflection of how intense this controversy has now become. Jeff. Glor jeff pegues, thank you very much. As former gymnastics doctor larry nassar awaits a third sentence in michigan for sexually abusing young patients, there are more indications tonight he could have been stopped. Here is dr. Jon lapook. We let you down, brianna. Reporter meridian townships manager, frank walsh, publicly apologized to one of Larry Nassars victims today. In 2004, 17yearold Brianne Randall complained to police that nassar had sexually abused her. We were deceived. We wish we had this one back. I was very upset, and i wanted answers. Reporter randall was one of 156 victims who spoke at last weeks sentencing hearing. She saw nassar for back pain. Sadly, they took your word instead of mine. Reporter according to the 2004 Police Report released wednesday, randall told police she was scared and uncomfortable after nassar squeezed her breasts and was trying to put his finger in her vagina. Nassar admitted touching randall in the genital area but claimed to an officer it was a medical technique, showing him a Powerpoint Presentation written by nassar himself. Him and the police instructed my parents that this was a legitimate medical procedure. At that point in time, it should have immediately been taken down to the Prosecutors Office and it wasnt. Reporter 12 more years would go by with nassar continuing to sexually abuse young women. I am so hurt to hear that so many women and young girls suffered abuse as a result of the inaction in 2004. Reporter do you think what if . What if they had just believed me and pursued it . I think what if all the time. I wish i would have gone in there and questioned what the police were telling my parents. Reporter today, one of nassars attorneys was interviewed on a radio station. Shannon smith questioned whether all the girls who came forward were really sexually abused. Later, nassar put out a statement saying he did not know smith was going to say that and did not authorize her to do so. Jeff. Glor all right, jon lapook, thank you. Training athletes used to be simpler a stopwatch, whistle, and clipboard. Now the n. F. L. Is bringing together men and machine. Carter evans checks out this new technology. Touchdown, l. A. Rams we look at the athlete as a finetuned sports engine. You look at how much mileage have you put on that car. Reporter ted rath is the l. A. Ramss conditioning coach.

With this data it can tell when he reached the fatigue state and how hard he is able to work so we can push him to that level. A great example this season could be a todd gurley. Reporter while many players tire out as the season wears on, the data showed the star running back. Todd gurley reporter . Got faster. This was actually the very play where he hit 21. 1 miles an hour on that specific play troarpt seems like you could really geek out on all these numbers. No question. Prove us right, prove us wrong, or shock us. And sometimes the data shocks you. Reporter the one thing the chips do not measure is the impact of a collision between players. The technology exists, and it could be put in a helmet. The n. F. L. Just hasnt requested that data. The league has already faced a major Class Action Lawsuit over concussions. Jeff. Glor might be an important thing for the future. Carter, thank you very much. Now to some other stories were following in the evening newsfeed. The tech giants keep growing. A. M.

Not many people can say they can fly through the air on a pair of skis going 60 miles an hour, you know. A trip back to the dthe doctors office, mean just for a shot.

Natalie wood is one of hollywoods greatest unsolved mysteries. Now, nearly 37 years later, investigators tell Erin Moriarty there is a person of interest. Reporter in 1981, natalie wood was sailing with her husband, Robert Wagner; actor christopher walken; and captain Dennis Davern when she mysteriously disappeared. I remember people coming on the boat saying that she had drowned. Reporter woods death was quickly ruled an accidental drowning but questions remained. Davern claimed the couple had a terrible fight before she disappeared. I believe that Robert Wagner was with her up until the moment she went into the water. Reporter 30 years later in 2011, the Los Angeles CountySheriffs Department reopened the case. This new information is substantial enough for us to want to take another look at the case. Reporter the medical examiner, after reviewing photos of bruises and autopsy report, changed the manner of woods death from accidental to undetermined. Why are all these bruises suspicious to you . Because she looked like the victim of an assault. Reporter veteran homicide detective Ralph Hernandez and lieutenant john corina say they now have craberation for daverns story about the fight. Two new witnesses claiming they not only heard the fight. One says she saw it. Its all figures in the back of the aspetto, male and female, whose voices they recognized as being Robert Wagner and natalie wood. Reporter investigators still dont know how natalie wood got into the water. Do you believe natalie wood was murdered . I think its suspicious enough to make us think that something happened. I dont think she got in the water herself. I dont think she fell into the water. Reporter but Robert Wagner has long said it was an accident. He only realized she was missing when he went to look for her and she was gone. Do you think Robert Wagner has ever told the truth of exactly what happened . I havent seen it, and his version of events just dont add up to the evidence and witnesses we found. Reporter back in 2011, lieutenant corinnea said wagner was not a suspect. He still excellent, but now. As we investigated the case over the last six years, i think hes more of a person of interest now. We know now that he was the last person to be with natalie before she disappeared. Reporter Erin Moriarty, cbs news, new york. Glor and erin will have much more about the natalie wood case saturday on 48 hours. Coming up here, a ride on the worlds longest zipline. Like you do sometimes, grandpa . And puffed.
