Reporter state public Health Officials say the South Sacramento kaiser patient being tested for ebola returned to the u. S. From west africa about two weeks ago. They say the patient is considered low risk. But kaiser has isolated the person until test results come in. Just because of the potential for ebola, just being very, very cautious, blood was drawn from the patient and a specimen sent for confirmation and testing. When we got the words last night, everybody kept asking, who is it, who is it. Ive been getting a lot of phone calls, theres been a lot of speculation. We dont know.

Again, Health Officials consider the patient low risk but it could take a couple of days until those test results come back. Reporting live in sacramento, im jodi hernandez, nbc bay area news. Thank you, jodi. More details for you now on the ebola virus. There are five types of ebola. The current strain going around now is the least deadly. It has a 40 survival rate. The virus is not airborne, it spreads through direct contact with bodily fluids with an infected person. The risk of a u. S. Outbreak experts say is extremely low. Because of our health care infrastructure. West african countries at the center of the outbreak dont have highquality health facilities. A key question remains unanswered at this hour, was it a deadly accident or was a man pushed off of a freeway overpass. It happened on the industrial parkway overpass on 880 in hayward this morning. The investigation shut down part of 880 causing a very slow morning commute. The backup as you can see from our nbc chopper reached as far north as oakland. Michelle roberts joins us from the Hayward Police station with the details. Michelle . Reporter raj, i just spoke to an officer a short time ago. He said theres not much information he can give at this point. Investigators have been trying to solve this case, theyve been asking a lot of questions to witnesses, and people who knew the victim. Lets take a look at the scene this morning on 880. It caused a huge delay this morning. Just before 5 00 a. M. Chp was called to 880 south in hayward where a man was hit by a car, after he somehow went over the guardrail, on the industrial parkway overpass. Hayward police took over the investigation which could possibly be a homicide. Police arent releasing the victims name, but i did talk to a friend who believes this death is suspicious. He was a really good person. He didnt deserve whatever happened. He didnt deserve it at all. I dont think it was suicide. I really dont. Reporter the victim lived in a hotel less than a block away from the overpass. Now, neighbors say someone smashed his car window yesterday, and they believe he was in some sort of fight over a girl. The police here in hayward say they might have more information to be released tomorrow morning. Reporting live in hayward, michelle roberts, nbc bay area news.

The 16yearold daughter got suspended from high school for allegedly fighting. Cell phone video shows she was attacked and the donnellys refused to accept the districts decision that their daughter was at fault. Mark matthews first broke the story when it first happened. The donnellys have won their monthlong battle with the School District. Reporter you remember the cell phone video, a little bit of a sensation when we first broke the story back in may. Here it is. The pictures show that donnellys daughter was threatened by two girls, because she was dating one of the attackers former boyfriends. They beat her up. The 16yearold fought back. And because of that, she was suspended for two days. Her parents went to the high schools vice principal with video of the fight. But it didnt make any difference. They accepted no new evidence that we went to bring to them, neither did the district on appeal. Reporter yes, the family appealed to the School District administrator. I went to show him the video, and he refused to accept it. I pressed play and put it in his hands. Reporter you get the idea that he does not give up easily. Failure was not an option. Reporter after the news media picked up the story, the district hired a private investigator and this week they got a letter from district headquarters. For the allegations that were validated by the investigation, the appropriate disciplinary action has, or will be initiated and taken. Reporter in the letter it is clear the district is talking about disciplining not the teenagers, but the school principal, vice principal, and district representative. It means theyre going to punish the administrators who screwed up and discounted our concerns. Reporter the man who wrote the letter is assistant superintendent jason lee. When we get new information that makes us adjust some of the decisions we made, especially when its doing whats best for kids, we make adjustments to the decisions we make. Reporter if that sounds a little roundabout, listen to what else he had to say. Were working on a story why the district is refusing to say what they were willing to put in writing. And also, why the donnellys went to all this trouble over a twoday school suspension. Their answers make the story that we are working on for 6 00 tonight. Mark matthews, nbc bay area news. A parking lot fire burns five cars parked at the lafayette b. A. R. T. Station today. Firefighters snapped a photo of the damage. It took them about 20 minutes to contain the flames.
