Fox News correspondent Steve Harrigan reports on growing concerns over the Ebola outbreak in Central Africa as U.S. officials expand airport screening measures for incoming travelers on ‘Special Report.’ A rabid bat found near a California neighborhood has prompted health officials to urge residents to avoid contact with wildlife and seek immediate medical attention if they believe they may have been exposed. On May 26, a bat was found near Palo Verde Common in South Fremont, close to a sidewalk and "within reachable distance of pedestrians and animals," the Fremont Police Department said. Alameda County Vector Control confirmed Thursday that the bat tested positive for rabies.
