Your look at the five biggest and most buzz-worthy stories of the morning.
1. Colorado Man Vanishes at Stadium During Broncos Game
Paul Kitterman told his friend Tia Bakke that the experience of being at his first ever Denver Broncos game in person with his son was “awesome” — and that was the last she heard of him.
The 53-year-old from Kremmling, Colorado, seemingly vanished into the Sports Authority Field crowd at the Broncos-Chargers game Thursday night in what Denver police now call a missing persons case.
2. Kaci Hickox's Quarantine was Based on 'Fear and Politics,' Attorney Says
Kaci Hickox, the nurse who was placed in quarantine at a New Jersey hospital despite exhibiting no Ebola symptoms, was “very pleased” that she was released and looks forward to receiving rest and relaxation, her attorney told ABC News.
Hickox left the hospital Monday afternoon to be taken to Maine, where she lives. Her attorney, Norman Siegel, said he plans on speaking with Hickox today about their strategy for dealing with the courts of law and public opinion.
“Her civil rights were violated,” Norman Siegel told ABC News. “At a minimum, she could bring an action for damages. But I think her goal is to try to revise the current policies with regard to, for example, mandatory quarantines.”
3. Washington State High School Shooter Lured Victims to Cafeteria Using Text Message, Police Say
The Washington State high school student who shot five students, killing two of them, had invited them via text message to sit at the same lunch table the day of the cafeteria shooting, authorities said.
Jaylen Fryberg, 15, used a .40-caliber gun to commit the shootings, investigators with the Snohomish County Multiple Agency Response Team said of last Friday’s shooting at Marysville Pilchuck High School.
In a statement, police said, "The only pre-planning of the event that detectives are able to confirm is that [Fryberg] had arranged for a meeting of friends during lunch in the cafeteria. A witness confirms that the five victims were seated at the table when the shooter opened fire, striking the victims before turning the gun on himself."
4. What's Behind the 2014 Midterm Election Cycle's Trendiest Attack Line
This midterm election cycle’s trendiest attack line has put incumbent members of Congress in a no-win situation.
The more time these lawmakers spend away from the committee rooms of Capitol Hill, the more vulnerable they are to attacks for not meeting the most basic requirements of public office. And yet the things that often take them away from committee duties, particularly raising money, are integral to their ability to win re-election.
In the closest Senate races of 2014, incumbents have been attacked in debates and television ads for truancy, allowing outsider candidates to posture against what they see as a corrosive habit in Congress.
