Why it took so long for police to close their investigation. Good evening, im dan ashley. We have new details in this case. Police finished their investigation into ray mcdonald and turned the case over to prosecutors for the next step. Vic lee is live with the story. Youve learned a personal call to a Police Officer complicated things here. That is right. One of the things is that mcdonald apparently called a Police Officer before or about the time the call was made and that the officer actually twoent his home. We dont know if he was on duty or off duty at the time but the Police Sources tell us he should not have gone to the house and should have advised mcdonald to call 911 if he didnt. Now, police referred us to the d. A. For a response. The d. A. Has the Police Investigation and have to see whether they can take this case to trial. The District Attorney will decide what to do with ray mcdonald. They they decide not to prosecute . Or conduct their own investigation with the evidence collected so far . A call said he was abusing his pregnant fiancee. Lawyers say there is good reason for the delay. The star in the National Spotlight because of his own Domestic Violence problems. Police wanted to be sure they covered everything before sending a report to the d. A. Another reason may be that his fiancee does not want to testify against him in court. That is, i think, normal. Its most of the Time Survivors dont want to end the they want at back to yous to stop. Teammates have reportedly told investigators they will be called to testify if they didnt see abuse. Because they can testify what led up to allegations. If there was nothing led up to it, that is important for ray mcdonald if there is arguing between parties, that could also be highly important. Police did not say whether they made a recommendation. There is no telling when the d. A. Will make his decision. Vic lee, abc7 news. Sports director larry beil is here. Ray mcdonald played this time. Do you expect 49ers to take action now . Its going to depend on whether or not hes charged the pressure has been mounting to do something about this. Other teams suspended them with abuse. Both, espn. Com reported if mcdonald is charged he will face discipline from the team. That could be anything from a suspension to termination of a contract. Mcdonald played in all four games in the regular season the expectation is that the level of discipline will be tied owe those charges and the team will not necessarily wait for a conviction before taking action. And breaking news out of Southern California now this, is a live picture of a stalled ferris wheel at disneys california adventure park. Mickeys fun wheel has been stuck about 30 minutes or so. Reporters are trying to remove the riders one by one. Well stay on this story and update you as necessary. Just as of morning weve been notified there are two confirmed cases. Its frightening.

Alameda county got confirmation two of cases and one announced in Solano County as well. We have Team Coverage on this story. Allen, well start with you in berkeley, please. Yes. Just to keep things in perspective, 300 californians have died from the flu this year. No one in the state died from entero virus but the symptoms are harsh. With the flu but without a fever. Hospitals are beginning to see more children coming down with entero virus. It sounds like its a possibility he has it. We dont know for sure. Lisas children are healthy but her 3yearold nephew is at Childrens Hospital where the virus d 68 has been detected. This morning we just have been notified there are two confirmed cases of entero virus. There have been no deaths in the u. S.

My understanding is that nine of those have been reported and have been investigated and four of those nine tested positive for this virus. Two cases confirmed were both children who did not suffer paf ral sis, now recovering the entero virus has been confirmed in 43 states. Nine cases in california. So far, only children admitted into hospitals are being tested for the virus. What happens when one how do they make them better . There is no treatment for vaccine for entero virus d 68. Doctors say children with asthma are more prone to the virus and in west oakland, the asthma rates are seven times higher than the states average. Brandon is one of the kids. Difficulty breathing. Hes running a lot he seems fine now. Health Officials Say the best combatant is washing hands with soap and water.

D 68 is one of hundreds of strains of the virus but can be one of the most alarming because it leads to paralysis in children. He has been reviewing cases for the state health department. There are different severities of weakness. Some may infect 1, 2, 3, 4 limbs but the virus does stop on its own at some point. The doctor doesnt want to alarm the public as reported cases are rare. But as with any virus, spread can be controlled by simple hand washing with soap and water which is said to be better than alcoholbased sanitizers. This 4yearold developed similars similar to entero virus. Left arm as flaccid paralysis you can see a little kid that wants to climb. And there are things they cant do. She says the symptoms are similar to the strain surfaced in the bay aefr, however, her mother says her daughter was never diagnosed. Dr. Van herron says parents and teachers need to be on the lookout to help prevent its spread. Patients have a fever, they often have headache, neck pain, back pain or pain in the limbs. That either accompanies or immediately, i mean within hours, precedes weakness. A hopeful sign, the doctor has seen the limb paralysis improve, but not in all cases. Prevention tips for the entero virus are the same as for flu. Wash hands with soap, and water, avoid touching eyes, nose, mouth, cough into your sleeve. If youre sick stay home.
