Michael zehafbibeau who is later identified. Fortunately, the shooter did not hit a single other person, although three others inside the Parliament Building were injured. None of them wounded by gunfire. They were taken to the ottawa hospital, but their injuries are considering to be not lifethreatening. While we dont know the killers motive for the shooting only 24 hours earlier, the canadian government had raised its terrorism threat level from low to medium, citing increased chatter online from radical islamists including the Islamic State and al qaeda. As i said, we dont no the killers name or whether he had ties to islam. And they had given his name to the fbi and the u. S. Intelligence community to run through their terrorist watch list databases. And authorities remain tonight uncertain as 0 whether the gunman had accomplices or collaborators. This is a dynamic and unfolding situation. I understand that people have many questions. And we are committed to providing some answers as soon as we are able top. What i can tell you, right now, is that all available and necessary resources were activated and deployed immediately when we became aware of the incident. They will continue to be here as long as theyre needed. President obama oakcooing just how little investigators know at this hour. We dont yet have all the information about what motivated the shooting. We dont yet have all the information about whether this is pat of a Broader Network or plan. Or whether this was an individual or series of individuals who decided to take these actions. Also tonight, well be bringing you the latest on what Michael Browns autopsies have revealed. And what now appears to be the facts surrounding browns death. At least some of the facts. Leaked grand jury testimony from ferguson, missouri, reveals officer Darren Wilsons version of events for the first time. Along with a cornerers autopsy report that supports officer wilsons explanation of how and why he thought Michael Brown dead. Dr. Michael bobb performed an independent autopsy for the brown family and he joins us here in moments. A leaked medical autopsy report tonight reveals Michael Brown was shot in the hand at close range, and that he had marijuana in his system during this fight with officer darren wilson. The county report indicates that the thumb wound contained, quote, foreign particulate matter consistent with products that are discharged from the barrel of a firearm. These latest findings back up fbi forensics tests that found browns blood inside the police car. The evidence corroborates, again, Police Officers Darren Wilsons claim that a significant altercation took place inside his police vehicle. Our next guest conducted one of the three autopsies performed. On Michael Brown. And joining us tonight forensic scientist dr. Michael bowden, former chief medical examiner of new york city. Good to have you here. Good to be here. Your autopsy conducted for the brown family indicated the muzzle of the weapon was one to two feet away when it was discharged. So this finding by the county medical examiner, the st. Louis medical examiner consistent with your finding . Yes, it is consistent. One foot away, two feet away can still be within the car. It does look, as you say, from the fbi blood test thats there was a struggle in the car and a gun went off in the car. The medical examiner of st. Louis and myself who examined the body with a naked eye didnt see any evidence of gunshot residue. On the microscopic tests that the medical examiner did which were released, there some some material that looks like gunshot residue. Particulate matter. In the hand wound which can only be seen under a microscope. So, i havent seen those slides yet but a good medical examiner found that valid. That there was a gunshot wound in the car. Some kind of a struggle. In our discussions, you have expressed a highlevel of confidence, if i can put it that way. If its not, please correct me. A seemingly lie level of confidence in the st. Louis medical examiner. And that team of pathologists did work there. I agree. Yes. And the idea that there has been so much discussion public discussion, that one can understand certain limits of that discussion and the agitation. But waiting for this pathology report this long, do you really believe is it necessary . No in my view, especially as medical examiner of new york city, we have Police Community altercations that the quicker you release the results, the sooner the community will calm down. When somebody is shot with an altercation with the police. The family already doesnt trust the police. The medical examiner refuses or can give out the result, it can be interpreted as being part of a coverup. But i think the earlier that the results are released, the better it is for everybody. Unfortunately, the medical examiner sometimes cant release it if the prosecutor tells them its going to interfere with the investigation. And thats a problem. Marijuana found in the blood test of Michael Brown. Yes. How significant, how much and how impair wed would he have be . Its kind of recreational level that it looks like from the toxicology report that he had recently smoked marijuana. But marijuana makes people feel good, does not necessarily make them do any bizarre or stupid things. Well, we know that he was doing bizarre stupid well, and violent things just before he was shot dead. Im not suggesting that marijuana would cause him to act as he did. Evening, you know, ill leave it to someone else to make those judgments today. Did it impair his judgment . Did it impair his reasoning . It could to a small degree. People with marijuana do not assault Police Officers because of marijuana from. Viewpoints and emotions. And everybody ends up speculating. Dr. Michael baden, as always, good to talk to you. Good to see you. Joining me now fox news political analyst, cohost of the five juan williams, good to have you here tonight. Your reaction to what dr. Baden has said is and in your own estimation of how that autopsy report that part thats been leaked speaks to us. Well, i think my first reaction is actually to you, lou. I think that youre on to something were that we dont discuss because, remember, im a political guy. Thats what i do. When i hear that, you know, we still dont have the full story now months after the event, i think, hey, i understand why people are upset. And suspicious. Of the facts. The second thing i have a reaction is dr. Badens comments here. I think that its very clear from what dr. Baden said, that he thinks that the reports, the videotape, all of that, needs to be put in the public because opinions are hardened. So what i seer and i see this now leaking into the Midterm Election campaigning, is that people are using one side or another to try to fire up their respective political base. Theres no doubt about it. And the exploitation that surrounds all the tragedy. In ferguson, missouri, frankly, ill say it straight up, i think this president , the attorney general should be embarrassed for their conduct and their words, rather than the leadership that they could have shown. And advanced the community rather than retarded and in many cases inflamed the community. Do you disagree with me . I think i do. So id have to ask you a few more questions well, thats one of the great things about two colleagues and friends talking we can ask one another questions. Whatever youd like to ask, fire away. Okay. All right. I think when holder acted, the attorney general went down there, i think the idea was to make sure that the africanamerican community, in the midst of all the protests. And i think a lot of those people came from outside and were agitators. Right. But to make sure they felt that the criminal Justice System respected the life of Michael Brown. That there wasnt a case there was going to be a coverup by the establishment to protect the officer and that the life of the poor black person could be ignored. I dont think thats a bad thing. Id ask you how you saw that as a bad move . I think at this point, it seems honest, it seems collaborative, but it also seems that its moving at a glacial pace. Now as dr. Baden said we now may have resolution in a couple of weeks. I think for two guys like you and me, were journalists, were in the business of the public. It it infuriates me to see how long this has taken, and the way in which both sides, if you will, in this have managed and exploited this mismanaged. The situation. Heres the thing in listening to you, though what i would respond, though, remember, right from the start, the police were not forthcoming with the information. Even the police report. The name of the officer. They acted as if they were in the coverup mode wait a minute, juan. Remember, we were watching demonstrations and actual looting taking place and very clear statements from either a state senator and others making public threats against public safety. And public order. Well i think thats all this was a highly charged situation. Without a doubt. Without a doubt. I think as a police officer, and his you know, there was a reason for that reticence, i understand, should they have been brave enough to handle that . I think it would have been exemplary for them to have done so. That, i agree with you. Juan, weve got to go. Last words . Well, look, id wish that we get all the facts on the table. And decent people who want some resolution, honesty in a good criminal Justice System could feel, you know what, justice was done here. I think youre exactly right on that. And i join you on that hope. And we go we will have that we hope within weeks. Juan, thanks so much for being with us. My clepleasure, lou. The cdc announces a very new limited strategy to follow travelers who enter this country from west africa. Why just in six states . Is it a matter of resources . At this point, what were talking about are the six states where about 70 of the travelers of the travelers destination, right, essentially, these are the states where the vast majority of people who spent some time in west africa are headed to in the United States. That is except for the person who actually brought ebola to this country. And how do you feel about that 30 margin of error . Thats next. Means keeping seven billion ctransactions flowing.

Saved sanders, virologist, professor of biological sciences at purdue university. Doctor, good to have you with us you. You you studied ebola for more than a decade. Your Research Shows ebola does have the potential to be air bon. Wed all like to know what your reaction is to the reasoning behind the administrations strategy against ebola. Ebola can only be transmitted through the close contact with the bodily fluids of an individual who is exhibiting symptoms of ebola. So that is the focus of our efforts. Doctor, is the administration being responsible or irresponsible in your view, given your research . Well, first thing i want to point out is that theres no evidence that ebola is currently transmitted by an airborne route. Correct. What we what our research has demonstrated that the virus can enter the lung from the airways side. So that is an important point. And there were a number of people who were saying that was simply impossible. And our Public Research demonstrated that it was. The other thing that i have commented on is the basis of the containment for ebola virus. And that is that that is that the hospitals that are being designated for containment have to be fewer. We cannot expect every hospital in the United States to be prepared to treat ebola patients. They should all forgive me, i didnt excuse me, doctor, i did not understand and perhaps the audience did not, those containment centers, four of them have to be what . So i think we should expand the number of containment centers. We should have Regional Centers all over the country. But we should not expect hospitals all over the country to be able to perform containments to do the treatment. So every hospital needs to be prepared to do diagnosis, because we dont know where a patient is going to turn up. But as soon as a person is identified with ebola, they should be transferred to a regional center. So this is what ive been discussing. And i be that in fact the cdc is moving exactly in that direction. Yeah, its pretty clear. That set off, by the way, something of a wave of anxiety to Health Care Officials who believe that their hospital staffs are not adequately trained for the exercise. How long do you envision it would take to create these new containment centers. Highlevel containment areas in major hospitals . Thats a great question. So the training is what it depends on. You know, we can have the equipment, but its not easy to use. But apparently, we dont even have the equipment. Ask trainers to actually go around and train everybody, i would say that we should be able to with a concerted effort get people to be able to be capable of diagnosing it effectively within a couple weeks. We should be able to have Regional Centers. You know, coming online in a month or so. It is you know, its nearly a matter of focus, training, and focusing of our resources in exactly that same kind of process. In the meantime, your thoughts about providing only a differential on the disease. Well, in six states, in following up with monitoring in six states, because thats 70 of the problem. Leaving 30 of the problem with ebola sounds a very dangerous deadly statistical approach. Your thoughts . Im sorrier its not my area of expertise. I really cant comment on that. You know, i dont know about efficiency of tracing. Its just not let me just boil it down for us very clear. 70 of the folks who come into this country from west africa go through those six states. 30 will not be monitored because they go to other states. Is it wise to let 30 come into the country without screening or monitoring . Statistically, at this point, theres a low number of risk. If the numbers continue to escalate, then its going to have to be more stringent. One of the things necessary is to develop systems and to test them out. Right. Because things always go wrong. Weve seen that. So its important to have a test model. I dont know that going to 100 at this point is actually all that valuable. If we do it with the 70 and we see how is this effective in that occurring its a variant. Doctor, i suspect its a theres going to be that theres trouble in the future. Doctor, i suppose its a little like rat poison. Its only 2 poison. The rest is oatmeal. I guess its a question of whether you get the owe meatmea the poison. Were coming right back.

Generally speaking, you hold the administration thats in power responsible for what has been a very weak economy now for five years. And as we look at the polls, as i said earlier, this president is profoundly unpopular. 55 disapproval rating in the most recent gallup poll, tracking poll. Whats going to determine the outcome . Women, independents, who . Well, he has such high negative ratings in every poll ive seen. In fact, 55 is low for the approval. I saw one with 59 . And then if you take up the people wh
