We will begin this halfhour with the complicated situation that is going on right now in egypt, the u. S. Ally in the middle east continuing crackdown on islamist extremists. Egyptian authorities have arrested a hardline cleric and a spokesman for the Muslim Brotherhood overnight. Both attempting to leave egypt. Those arrested come as the u. S. Considers what to do next. Abcs Karen Travers has that from washington. Good morning, karen. Reporter good morning, diana and john. Obama Administration Officials dont want to make any swift decisions. But it is clear that the more than 1 billion in aid the u. S. Send to egypt is in jeopardy. Reporter egypt is on edge. But in an exclusive interview with abcs Martha Raddatz, the interim Prime Minister there said he doesnt fear a civil war. The Obama Administration says the u. S. Role is limited, up to egypt to solve this crisis. But hazem elbeblawi says the u. S. Has influence there. We need the United States as much as the United States need us. Reporter the white house is reviewing its military aid to egypt. More than 1 billion a year, set aside for this critical ally in the middle east. Asked what it means if the u. S. Decides to cut that aid off, beblawi was blunt. This will be a very bad sign. It will definitely affect the military for some time. Reporter the white house says it is not a quick decision or a simple action. This is not a faucet in which you just turn the spigot and assistance continues to flow. Reporter an aide to top democratic senator said the administration has informed congress that it is halting military aid to egypt. The white house disputed that but played a game of semantics.

Mcnair Discovery Learning Academy in decatur were evacuated. Its a feeling you cant describe. Unless you have kids. You cant describe it. It it dont make sense. It just doesnt make sense. We are in a crazy time with a lot of crazy people. So hug your kids tight and tell them you love them all the time. All the time. The suspect was arrested earlier this year for terrorist threats and acts. He negotiated a plea deal and was sentenced to probation and anger management. Now, a school clerk, antoinette tuff, worked to convince the gunman to put away her weapon and ammunition. She later spoke to our atlanta station about the ordeal. He first came in, i was like oh. He said, no, this is not a joke. Then he told the teacher to go let everybody know this is not a joke. Describe how he looked . He had a look on him he was willing to kill. Matter of fact he said it. What did he say . He said that he didnt have any reason to live. And that he knew he was going to die today. I realized at that time it was bigger than me. He was really a hurting young man. I just started praying for him. I just started talking to him. Allowing him to know some of my life stories and what was going on with me. And it was going to be okay. He said, no, it is just over. It, i am just going to die today. I told him no, you dont have to die today. He actually tried to go out the door where the kids was and i called him back and kept talking to him. To keep him calm to stay inside with me. Because i knew that if he got outside, that he was going to start shooting the kids. And so, i just told him to stay in there with me, so the Police Officers and nobody would kill him. Antoinette, this sound like such a long ordeal, were you concerned how this was going to end . I did when he started putting the clips, when he came in. When he came in he was just so agitated. People started moving. Then when the Police Officers started moving in. At one time him and the Police Officer start exchanging bullets. I was sitting there. I knew that bullets dont have a name. And so i had to explain to him, i just told him to come back in. You are the hero today. I give it all to god. I am not the hero. I was terrified. You kept it together. Yeah, i dont know how. But i did. Through his grace and mercy i did. And i just explained to him i loved him. I didnt know his name. I didnt know much about him. But i did love him. And it was scary because i knew that at that moment he was ready to take my life along with his. If i didnt say the right thing that we all would be dead. That woman is a hero. Wow. Wow. Tuff began sharing the story with the young man, she lost her husband of 33 years, she felt no one loved her at that point. Thats when he opened up and revealed he had not taken his medication.
