Outbreak: A New York City doctor who just returned from treating Ebola patients in Guinea tested positive last night for the virus in New York City. Dr. Craig Spencer was put in isolation at Bellevue hospital while medical investigators fanned out to find the people he had been in contact with recently. Dr. Spencer took the subway to go bowling Wednesday night and took a taxi home. Spencer’s fiancée has been placed in quarantine.

New York Mayor, Bill de Blasio, Police Chief Bill Bratton, and Gov. Andrew Cuomo all sat in front of cameras and said they are against Ebola. There are still only two Ebola infections that occurred in the US.

Ottawa: The Canadian parliament re-opened yesterday in an emotional and dignified ceremony, a day after a gunman killed an army guard and shot up the hallways of the legislature.

Kevin Vickers, the sergeant-at-arms who killed the gunman, carried the ceremonial gold mace to a standing ovation. Tears streaked down his cheeks as he sat and the applause continued. Prime Minister Stephen Harper addressed the body saying, “We will not be intimidated. We will be vigilant but we will not run scared. We will be prudent but we will not panic.”

It’s unclear whether the shooting was the result of mental illness, Muslim extremism, or a little of both. The shooter has been identified as Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, 32, a Canadian man whose name was changed from Michael Joseph Hall when he was a teenager. He had been living in a homeless shelter and investigators said he acted alone. Security officials said he had recently applied for a passport to go to Syria.

The soldier killed by Zehaf-Bibeau was Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, a 25-year-old reservist and father of a boy who just started kindergarten. Cirillo’s friends said he loved to rescue dogs and had a smile that lit up a room.
