exchange for food stamps. as laren zakalik explains.. that's an offer an artist posted on facebook that caught the eye of would-be patrons, and the law. --reporter pkg- as follows-- the whole thing started with a tip from a keen koat viewer. who saw this posted on facebook... by a los lunas tattoo artist. "who's getting tatted?" it says... "i'm open right now .... i'll be tattooing for grub stubs tomorrow only!

hit me up if interested." grub stubs are food stamps that we pay for and that trade... it's very illegal by the time we looked on facebook, the offer had been taken down-- but the buzz.... ...was just setting in. we just couldn't believe he was actually doing that. we went down to the los lunas tattoo parlor he lists on facebook as his employer to try and find him. we're not revealing his identity, because he hasn't been charged. he hasn't worked here in over a month but this woman who owns the parlor with her husband says... she heard about this tuesday night... and was horrified. a couple of people have come and said they've gone on our web site and they see he's posting that he's working here, and that he is tattooing for food stamps. that is not true, we are a professional business here and we do not do that at all. now even though the facebook post has since been taken down, just the offer itself is enough for the human services department to be concerned. legally, they say, food stamps are only be used for their

intended purposes-- tattoos are not one of them. we definitely look down upon people trading their ebt cards for anything other than food. and spokesman matt kennicott says the state will be investigating this case and any others like it. as for the tattoo artist himself... did you know when you made that offer on facebook that it was illegal to do something like that? yes i did. he called us late wednesday afternoon .... and said he did it, because times have been tough for him. i know it was wrong and i know it was a long shot, but like i said, i was just trying to put food on my table for my child i'm not trying to break any laws, that's why i didn't trade any work for it and i took the posting down. he says he's sorry... for trying to trade tattoos for taxpayer funded food stamps... but sorry, might not be enough for the state. state officials say they are considering changing its food stamp program.... so that the recipient's picture is on the actual e-b-t card... so they can't sell it, or give it to other people.

state health officials say the child was briefly hospitalized and is now recovering. but the strand is obviously out there and health officials say it can be dangerous for everyone... young and old alike. "it can take a normal healthy child or adult and have them in the emergency room for 48 hours. this is the serious winter virus. now we can prevent many of these infections by being vaccinated and vaccine is abundantly available now." according to federal health officials, the flu can pop up as early as the beginning of october... although it usually peaks in january or februrary. we're learning more this morning about the woman police killed after leading them on a high- speed chase that put the capitol on lockdown. 34-year-old miriam carey's mother says she was suffering from post- partum depression. this is a picture of her taken from facebook. the woman had

her one-year-old daughter in the car with her. carey's mother says she was depressed... and had no history of violence. carey was from stamford, connecticut... and her mom says she has no idea why her daughter was in d-c. her chase with police started at a barricade near the white house at about 2:20 yesterday afternoon. the black car scene here is carey's nissan infiniti. you can see police stopped her at the barricades near the white house. police thought they had her cornered... but she soon rammed into one cruiser, then backed up and took off down pennsylvania avenue. the chase came to an end at constitution street and second avenue just outside the hart senate office building. police shot and killed the woman as she was getting out of her car. "nats police siren and then crash" that police officer was racing to the scene of the police chase and deadly shooting when he ended

up in a wreck himself. the officer slammed into a barricade and spun out. other nearby police raced to help him. he was one of two federal officers injured in yesterday's incident. both are said to be in good condition. today we also learned both were working yesterday without pay because of the government shutdown. speaking of that shutdown... we're in the fourth day... and there may be some first signs that house speaker john boehner is back down from the standoff with the president. boehner says he won't allow a default when the debt ceiling vote hits in fewer than two weeks... even if that means relying on votes from democrats. president obama is putting the pressure on boehner to fund the government and drop concessions about obamacare. "call a vote, put it on the floor and let every individual member of congress make up their own minds, and they can show the american people are you for a shutdown or not."

lawmakers could vote on legislation today that would authorize back pay for the 800-thousand government workers on furlough. the shutdown has expanded all the way across the pond. 24 overseas cemeteries and memorials... including this one in normand france... are shuttered due to the shutdown. any installations the american battle monuments commission are in charge of are closed as well. united airlines makes a generous offer on twitter... to the air force and naval academy for their rival game. the airlines is offering to fly them for free. we now know the game will go on because non- budgeted funds are being used, but there's no word from united on whether the offer still stands. though the game was sold out, the two sides had to wait for the defense department's greenlight. a weekend event that's perfect for couples... where you can find a craft show with a car twist... next in our hometown hotspot. you're watching fox 45 morning news.. all local..
