Gunmen attack Ebola facility in Liberia; patients flee

Gunmen attacked a facility treating Ebola patients in Monrovia, Liberia, on Saturday, and some patients fled, Liberian National Police spokesman Sam Collins told CNN Sunday.

No one was injured in the attack, he said.

All patients who ran away had Ebola, according to Collins, and some chose to stay at the facility.

Since an Ebola epidemic was declared in Guinea in March, the disease has spread to Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria. Ebola can be contracted by coming into contact with infected organs and body fluids such as blood, saliva, urine and other secretions.
