I cant tell you how much on behalf of a grateful state we want to thank all of the partners who have been involved in this mission to capture this individual. Reporter frein was seen with blood on his face, but Authorities Say he surrendered without a struggle. Outside the air field hangar, inside police say they found belongings including a rifle and handgun. He was taken into custody wearing the handcuffs of the trooper he is accused of murdering. He was placed under arrest, handcuffed with the handcuffs of Corporal Dickson which i think is very appropriate. Reporter frein was taken to the police barracks, the same building where that ambush took place during a shift change on september 12. Launching the exhaustive 48day manhunt for the gun enthusiast. During the weeks of searching police found the 31yearolds abandoned suv and assault rifle, pipe bombs, soiled diapers and detailed writings describing the murder of corporal bryon dickson. All frustrating near misses until police finally got their man. Let me assure you from everybody here, justice will be served. Reporter you can imagine the relief here, not just for authorities but also for people that live around here. They had actually canceled halloween, worried it would be too dangerous. Trickortreating is back on. Back to you. All right, Kristen Dahlgren on this story. Thank you very much. And we are learning more about a tragic plane crash at wichitas mid continent airport. At least four people died when a small twin engine plane slammed into a Flight Training building. Ron mott is there with that story. Good morning. Reporter hoda, good morning. Three of the four killed yesterday were in that building you see behind me 18 Flight Simulator, the fourth person was the pilot and now investigators are here on the scene to start figuring out exactly what went wrong. The twin engine slammed into the building shortly after takeoff sparking a fire that sent clouds of smoke high in the air. Inside, pilots, practicing maneuvers in Flight Simulators. The pilot of the king air 200 identified as 53yearold mark goldstein, tried turning back to the runway when an engine failed. He didnt have enough altitude. Probably less than 30 seconds. Reporter witnesses say goldstein struggled to climb leaving him the only one struggling to maintain control. Air traffic transmissions captured his dilemma, he called the tower soon after getting airborne. Declared emergency. Reporter a few seconds of silence, then this. Whats on fire . We just lost an aircraft. Reporter johnson saw something but was uncertain what. It was windy and i heard a big loud noise, but i didnt know what it was and then i could see smoke coming up. From around the side of the building. Reporter hours after the crash, smoke still billowed from the building which Officials Say will be inspected before the wreckage and bodies can be safely removed. Until such time we render the building safe we will take all of the precautions necessary to assure no officers are hurt. Reporter Officials Say they will make every effort to retrieve the bodies today. Because the building is unstable that could take a while. No word on the three People Killed inside. Back to you. Ron, thanks so much. This ongoing standoff in maine between officials and the nurse fighting the states voluntary quarantine for people treated ebola patients. Will she be forced to comply . Stephanie gosk has the latest on this. Good morning to you. Reporter hey, good morning, matt. Were learning that a District Court hearing in maine ordered a court order that compels kaci hickox to follow the cdc guidelines for someone considered to be at some risk. This does not mean she cant leave her house. That bike ride she took yesterday is well within the guidelines. This is something my partner and i like to do. Reporter maines governor said he had no problem with kaci hickoxs venturing out for a brief bike ride. Surrounded by reporters and a state trooper that the governor says is for her safety. Her behavior is really riling a lot of people up, and you know, i can only do what i can do. Were trying to protect her but shes not acting as smart as she probably should. Reporter so far maine seems to have backed down from plans to seek a court order to keep hickox and others who had contact with ebola patients in the past 21 days out of Public Places. Im not symptomatic. There is no way i could give someone ebola. Reporter so far she has complied with the states request, opting for a pizza delivery after this National Name drop. Id love to go to the moose shack and get a slice of pizza. Reporter it wasnt a boon for business. We received phone calls of is she here . People wanting to come have lunch but are not coming because she possibility she may be here. Reporter 3,000 signed an online petition to revoke her nursing license, if she doesnt stay inside. What a brat one tweeted. Serious case of mebolla. Kaci hickox wears a helmet. Couldnt care less about protecting americans. Still, if the state is going to block her next bike ride legal expert sas the burden is on maine to justify a strict quarantine. You can do it if you can demonstrate that they are going to harm the public. But the state has to show that. They havent offered evidence to that effect. All they said is an abundance of caution. Well, in America Liberty is more than that. Reporter among the guidelines in this court order is that kaci hickox has to have regular visits from health officials, also not allowed to travel. Shes allowed to leave her house but not to crowded Public Places, she can go as long as she is not within three feet of other people. All right. Stephanie, thanks very much.

Nearby homes and businesses were evacuated. Others told to stay indoors. The cause of the incident now under investigation. It was down to the wire for a jumper on thursday.

The the man became entangled in the wires off the tower with his parachute deployed. A couple of hours later they were able ta pull him to safety. He was taken from the scene in handcuffs by ambulance. The dallas nurse who recovered from ebola will be reunited with her dog after tests revealed the pet was ebolafree. The pet was removed and placed in a 21day quarantine after she was placed in isolation. She was released from the hospital after being declared free of the disease. You imagine how joyful that is going to be. A new york subway ride comes to a halt because of a drill, not a fire drill but a giant drill bit that pierced the ceiling of a subway tunnel. A construction crew was working in queens when the drill was accidentally used in the wrong place and scraped the side of a subway train which was carrying 800 people inside. Thankfully nobody was hurt. The train stopped and passengers were led back to the subway platform. Something you would see out of a movie. That is terrifying. You are packed in there. 800 people. Wow. Why dont we drill here. I dont think there is anything here. Oh, sorry. Maybe we should have looked at a map. Whoopsy. Take a look at this halloween forecast. Not great. No, its not. Unfortunately. A lot of the ghouls and goblins are going to have to have coats and sweatshirts. Weve got the jet stream down to the south, High Pressure builds in.

Into central and northern ohio, indiana into parts of michigan, were talking snow. In chicago it will feel like 24 degrees the trickortreaters out there. Were going to get to your local forecast coming up in the next 30 seconds. E, weve completely d the kitchen. Cozy. Lets go check out the pantry its our dunkin dream room amazing wish i had a room like this. Lets make some dunkin. One taste and youll understand. Great remodel. Delicious Dunkin Donuts coffee.

Temperatures are going to be cool as well. Were starting out in the 60s. Were only going to climb by 2 or 3 degrees. Bring your jacket and your umbrella. The heaviest rain starts out at about noon. The good news for trick or treating, 7 00, a break in the activity. Now to politics. Days before the midterm election, its all about the mood of the voters and whether change will again come to washington. Chuck todd is wrapping up his meet the voters, road trip, 3,000 miles through 13 states. His last stop metairie, louisiana. Hey, chuck. Good morning, hoda. The president s numbers are low, congresss numbers are low. You think people want to go to the polls . Are they go requesting to hold their nose . What are we going to see . Well, i definitely the voters i met feel like a hold your nose election. You get the sense in talking to voters i did, theyd like to punish the president s Party Without rewarding the republicans. And in many cases they are sort of sitting on their hands, not sure what to do. They do plan on voting and these states where the races are spending millions, they are going to show up to the polls. They are probably leaning against the president , but they are not happy about it. The republicans need to take six seats to take control of the senate. Where do you see the most competitive spots . Three states that are my Desert Island races. If you told me the results of iowa, colorado, and kansas, id have a good idea who would control the senate. Republicans start with three in the bag already. So among those three, if one party wins two of those three races, they are going to control the senate and right now i think all three of them are within two points. Lets talk ebola for a second. Sort of emerged as an issue. The people are upset how the federal government handled this. A couple of states, new jersey and maine. How big of an issue you think ebola is going to be . Its interesting in traveling the country and the states i was in, whether it was the midwest or the south, ebola wasnt a huge issue in the senate races, for these voters but in these states illinois, georgia, you brought up maine, there are very highly contested gubernatorial races and thats where ebola has been an issue because you have major airports there, or of course the one nurse that is in maine. And so it could play but voters arent holding one party against the other on this. So, while its an issue, i dont know if it sways an undecided voter. Chuck, hopping on that bus and coming home now . Is it over . Of course. Its sort of over. Im going to be back in louisiana in december, you guys got crazy rules down here. Thats very true. For a wrap of the races catch meet the press this sunday. And nbc will have special live coverage of the results roll in tuesday night at 10 00, 9 00 central time. Lets turn on to sports. Nba superstar lebron james probably could win an election in cleveland. He made his return official playing his first game back with his old team t cavaliers. The celebration was over the top. The results probably not what king james or the fans had hoped for. Today craig mel strin is in cleveland. Hi, craig. Reporter hey there, matt. Good morning. Check it out.

Reporter winning two championships there, over the summer the cavaliers owner who called james departure bufferried the hatchet. Lebron resigned. Just like that, all was forgiven. A giant lebron james banner that was torn down in 2010 was replaced now with a new one. Jerseys that were torched now replaced, and seen all over town, as fans prepare for a new age of lebron. Amazing to have him back. He means the world to us. We all hated him like six months ago. Reporter thats all in the past as seen in a new nike ad where the city rallies around its returned hero. One, two, three. Four, five, six. Reporter with one game in the books it remains to be seen if the Second Coming is all its cracked up to be. Ask fans and theres little doubt. Were excited for a championship. This year. Hopefully. Reporter 1964, thats the last time the city of cleveland enjoyed a major sports championship. And they are as desperate as they are optimistic. Season tickets for the cavaliers this year they sold out in less than eight hours. One more nugget. 215 million, thats the amount that lebron being back in cleveland is expected to generate for the team. Go figure. The knicks got killed by the bulls in the opener and went to cleveland and beat the cavaliers. Thanks. Tamron is in for carson. You had fallout for one of the most talked about moments. Nothing to do with baseball. But its sticking with the sports theme. So many of you, all of you know the giants won the world series. A moment that actually happened after the game.
