Transcripts For KTVU KTVU Mornings On 2 At 7am 20180214

The commute is getter busier, steve. As you know, this is one of the peak hours of the commute. 22 minutes between the carquinez bridge and the macarthur maze doesnt seem like a long time. It is a little on the light side. By this time we have 35 to 40 minute delay. That is good as you drive in. At the bay bridge we had a crash westbound right near the gore point of the hov lanes. That is clear. One vehicle is still out there but traffic is moving by. It has improved. This is a look at interstate 880 in oakland. And northbound traffic is moving okay. We have something going on the san mateo bridge. A couple of cars may have gotten into it on the right hand side there. You may not be able to see it behind this pole here. A little bit of activity. Traffic on the san mateo bridge approach is slow as a result. That crash was in the lanes for a bit and traffic is slow. Dumbarton bridge traffic is normal. 7 01. Lets go back to the desk. Berkeley has become the first city in the United States to declare itself a sanctuary city for cannabis users. The city council anoon unanimously approved the measure last night. It is modeled after a sanctuary city policy. Cannabis sales become legal in california on january 1st. It puts the state in front of federal law that still lists marijuana has a class 1 drug. Once the resolution was passed, the mayor tweeted that berkeley may be the first city in the country to declare itself a Sanctuary Cannabis city. They also are reducing the tax on marijuana sales from 10 to 5 . That was in response to licensed cannabis dealers who couldnt compete with unlicensed sellers who dont pay taxes or comply with regulations. Last night in san jose, friends of the 19yearold woman who died after being stabbed and dumped on a rural road near livermore gathered for a vigil to remember her kindness and strength. The struggle to survive the woman touched a lot of people. They gathered at the great oak skate park in san jose. She was new to skateboarding but loved the sports challenge. Friends say they will always remember how determined lissette was and they believe that kept her alive long enough to tell authorities who killed her. She fought like until the end. Just to get also the people who did this to her. So just to honor her courage and her like her will to get justice former. Investigators say she knew the couple that is charged with killing her and she willingly got into the car with them. But officials dont know why she was killed. The two suspects are 19year old daniel gross and his 25 yearold fiance melissa leonardo. They were arrested in modesto at a home they share. Theyre scheduled to be charged this afternoon with murder and are being held without bail at the santa rita jail in dublin. Now to hercules where five young people are under arrest on suspicion of car breakins. Police responded to a breakin on Willow Avenue just before 11 00 last night. Officers were told that the suspects ran to a nearby Church Parking lot and police were able to track all five of them down. The suspects range in age from 15 to 18. Officers recovered a bb gun and devices that small holes in car windows. A former uc berkeley who was removed from a Southwest Airlines plane in 2016 after he spoke arabic has filed a lawsuit against the airline claiming his civil rights were violated. Back in april of 2016, he was seated on a Southwest Airlines flight at lax and was waiting for the plane to take off for oakland. He called his uncle and a passenger who heard him speaking in arabic reported him to the airline crew. He was escorted off the plane and interrogated and searched by the fbi. After he was cleared by the fbi, southwest refunded his plane ticket but refused to book him on another flight. Now, in a previous statement back in april of 2016, southwest said the passenger who made the complaint also spoke arabic and asked the flight crew to investigate what were perceived to be threatening comments. Well, southwest said, and im quoting, it was the content of the passengers conversation, not the language used, that prompted the report leading to our investigation. Sonoma county is trying to take lessons from last years wildfires and apply them to possible disasters in the future. Work crews are installing rain and stream level gauges in parts of the county that burned. They could provide information which shows which burn zones are in danger of mudslides and flooding during winter storms. There are concerns because of the rainfall. People are to clear all bush within 30 feet of their home. That could be extended to a wider area. Now survivors of the wildfires are selling their property instead of rebuilding. Now the county is hoping to make it easier and less expensive to get the permits need today rebuild homes. More than 2,000 Housing Units were lost in the fires in unincorporated parts of Sonoma County. Now they can go to a Resiliency Center where the permits will be processed quickly. Fire survivors come here with every service they need under one roof. People are moving through the entire permitting process in one to three days. Theres a lot of people around us who are selling and leaving because it is so difficult. Sonoma county officials hope that having all of the permitting services in one place will help more people stay in the neighborhoods. The center is expected to stay open for about three years. New from overnight, a Vallejo Police officer shot and killed a suspect after a violent struggle. Ktvus alex savidge is live in vallejo where investigators are looking into the circumstances of what led to that gunfire. Reporter and gasia, a relative is telling us that the man who was shot and killed may have been wanted for questioning in connection with a Domestic Violence call earlier in the night. He was riding his bike in this neighborhood in vallejo when an officer tried to stop him. He ditched his bike and started running down carolina street just off of marin. And the officer chased after that man, caught up with him near an apartment complex on the left hand side of the street. There was a struggle and then gunfire. The shooting happened at about 7 40 last night. The officer was involved in what authorities describe as a violent physical struggle with the man who had been on the bike. During the altercation, the officer fired his gun, striking the man who ultimately died here at the scene. According to a relative, again, this all began with some sort of a domestic dispute between that man on the bike and the mother of one of his children. She apparently called police for help. And thats when the officer spotted the man nearby on his bike and there was the chase and that led ultimately to this deadly shooting by the vallejo officer. The man who was killed has not been identified yet by authorities. The officer who opened fire last night has been put on leave and in an email statement sent out, Vallejo Police tell us that the officer who opened fire last night did so in self defense. Of course there will be a full investigation that is done. That will include investigators from the Vallejo Police department as well as the Solano County District Attorneys Office and they will try to determine the circumstances here of this deadly shooting by Vallejo Police officer, trying to figure out, gasia, if in fact he was justified in opening fire. Alex in vallejo. Thank you. The time is 7 09. Tiny homes in san jose for the homeless. We will tell you about three locations where san jose may build a tine owe home village to help those in need. A potential life line for dreamers. A second judge ruled against the Trump Administrations plan to end the daca program. The hope for young immigrants as the Program Expires in just a few weeks. Good morning. Right now if youre heading out, 80 westbound is going to be moderately heavy. Driving through richmond heading to the bay bridge. Well, two systems, one to the south bringing clouds up towards san jose. And one to the north moving in towards Mendocino County. Partly cloudies today and cool pattern. I would get used to the cool. It looks like there is a lot more on the way. Welcome back to mornings on 2. Our time is 7 12. Right now in maryland there are reports that one person has been arrested in connection with a shooting this morning at the National Security agency. Now, there are conflicting reports about how many people were shot. We know of at least one person who has been injured. There may be three. A black suv was stopped at the entrance of the high security facility outside of washington, d. C. There. Were bullet holes in the front windshield. It is not clear who was shot or the condition. The white house says President Trump has been briefed and we will bring you more details as we get them. The president s personal attorney is now saying he used his own money to pay an adult film star who claim today have a sexual relationship with donald trump. Michael cohen says he gave Stormy Daniels 130,000 back in 2016 according to a New York Times report. It was to keep her from publicly discussing the affair during the president ial campaign. Cohen says the payment was lawful, adding he was not reimbursed by the Trump Organization or the trump campaign. Another legal set back for President Trumps plan to end the daca program. A federal judge in new york ruled that the Trump Administration did not announce enough reasons for ending the program on march 5th. The Justice Department says daca is illegal because it went around congress. But the federal judge says the program is legal and therefore the administration doesnt have a legitimate reason to end it. However, the judge says his ruling doesnt mean that the government should be force today allow more people into the program. It simply means the current daca participants should stay protected. Now, on friday, the Supreme Court may announce if it will hear the case. In the meantime in the u. S. Senate, the immigration debate continues today. Yesterday there was very little progress at the u. S. Capitol. Senate republicans are pushing for plans that address things like chain migration reform and sanctuary cities. Democrats, they want a bill that is more specific to the young people in the daca program. Still, Senate Leaders from both sides seem optimistic there could be a deal. If we can come up with a bipartisan compromise that looks like it is in the ballpark of 60, let it rep. Lets go. There is no reason in the world if there is a core 630 votes for something doesnt mean we cant achieve it in the next couple of days. They will start drafting an immigration plan. President trump is facing the issue of paid family leave. It would give new mothers and fathers six months of paid leave and adoptive parents would also qualify. The state of california already offers six weeks of paid leave to new parents. Our time is 7 15. A move to put an initiative on the state ballot to eliminate vaccination requirements in california schools. After a measles epidemic infected 24 people in california at disneyland it was required that children be vaccinated in order to go to school. The ballot measured call the California Clean Environment Initiative would also ban flouride, chlorine and genetically modified organisms. The author of the bill says she introduced it because she thinks that chemicals are linked to autism, parkinsons and cancers. It is 7 15. Sal castaneda is keeping an eye on the commute. Were starting with highway 4 and looking at some of the slow Traffic Building up in pittsburgh and bay point. Nothing unusual but it is not light as you head across to concord. Traffic will be busy as you might expect it to be. Also looking at 680 right now. Traffic slows just after 242. Slow into alamo. Westbound 24 slow through lafayette. It gets better in orinda. A lot of people are going to the bay bridge. And getting to the teleplays a it is backed up for 2025 minutes. No major issues on the span. Driving into downtown oakland right now northbound 880 is not a slow commute in front of the coliseum just yet. It slows down a little bit farther north approaching the brick wall. 7 17. Lets bring in steve with todays weather. Thank you, sir. Youre welcome. Lets get to it. Clouds to the north and a little precip up towards Mendocino County and clouds to the south. In between, we have cold temps and sunshine. But it is a rather cool start here. I would get used to the cool. There are signs that cold air is on the way for sunday and monday. Jake says a wintery 30 degrees in rohnert park. Yes i believe that. I have 32 on this panel. But novato is 31. Point reyes in at 38 degrees. And American Canyon vallejo also in the 30s. Upper 20s. One towards North Livermore at 26 degrees. Geyserville and hillsberg all at one time had low thats did dip into the 20s. Now, there is cloud cover to the south. Thomas smith on blossom hill says 45 with lots of clouds overhead. Los gatos, not fog. No, it is not a fog. Southern california is getting rain but it is spinning in clouds interest south to north. They will start to push south and east pretty soon but they are keeping some of the lows up. Theyre still upper 30s but 40s around the coast. Santa cruz at 43. 30s and 40s in and around cupertino and campbell. We could use rain. Do you see any coming . Not yet but there are positive signs going forward. We havent had any rain for 20 days here. They are getting rain in Southern California. The snow though for us, the rain has been as you mow dismal. It is even worse for the sierra snow. This is the amount of snow to water equivalent for the northern sierra. Trinity county. 18 of normal. Central sere a tahoe, 25 with a water equifflation of 5 water equivalence of 5. 6. Last year there was 4. 8 inches of snow water equivalent. Today there is 4. 4. Thats not right. But it looks like we will get snow. There are a series of lows coming in. They are taking it over a land trajectory instead of water. They get a quick shot of snow to the sierra. A better opportunity on it looks like monday for decent snow. The lows do dive south and giving Southern California and even arizona rain. In the next ten days, they will go over water which would help us get rain. Until there, a lot of cold air. 30s and 40s on the temps. Here is a system to the north. There is a mix towards mendocino and lake county. By the time it arrives here, it will just be cloud cover. Rain down in Southern California. So two systems. That is the cutoff that gave us the wind sunday and monday. And looking down towards arizona, if you are heading down there, rain is on tap for tucson and phoenix as the moisture gets drawn up from the low. Big changes north and south. In between we get cool temps. Upper 50s to low 60s on the temps. These are average or normal for this time of year. Weve been so far above. That will change. We will get a little warmer friday and saturday, gasia, then a big blast of cold air sunday and monday. Thank you, steve. A runaway suv on a busy freeway.

After a long time of really warm temperatures, i mean it wasnt hot, but for early february, we were 10 to 15 degrees above average. It is 26 it should say degrees symbol right there.

I usually listen but ive had my head buried in weather stuff today. What can you tell us . It will be a tough commute for some, not so bad for others. Im going to talk about approaching the bay bridge from 580 because it is jam packed. We had an earlier crash at the toll plaza that affected this commute direction more than others. If youre driving on 580 or perhaps 980 to get on to the bridge, this will be a tough commute for you. When you get to the bridge, things even out and it looks like normal. Again we had a little problem there approaching from 580. 80 westbound is looking more normal. It is taking about 35 minutes to drive from the carquinez bridge to the maze. This is a live look at interstate 880 heading up north. Northbound traffic has not slowed down past the coliseum. Were expecting it to in the next few minutes or so. If it stays on the schedule. This is a look at the san mateo bridge commute. This is improving after earlier issues. A little bit of slow traffic on the dumbarton bridge as well. 7 31. Back to the desk.

You can see sky fox overhead as one of the students was being wheeled into an ambulance. The other big question this morning, what exactly did the students eat to make them sick . We are waiting to get that information as well. We havent been updated on that. Firefighters said they would be working with the district and the hospital and local poison control officials to answer that question. Several students told ktvu and their parents that a female student had passed around what may have been marijuana laced candy and Prescription Medication as well. Thats what a student told ktvu yesterday around 1 00 in the afternoon. Again, what the students consumed that made them sick is still under investigation. We spoke with a parent who said she was planning to have a good talk with her taught to make sure that this sort of thing doesnt happen to her. It was kind of upsetting. Like i dont really it is weird to know that people my age are doing drugs and stuff. A little panicked driving over here. Because she wasnt texting me back. And the school wasnt answering. And i get news alerts and texts from other patients. Other parents. Reporter the School District will have counselors on hand to talk about the students about what happened and encourage them to avoid this thing in the future.

A woman who doesnt want to be identified says her family rented out a 2 million home to the brothers but their deposit and their rent checks bounced. Now, when the brothers were being evicted, they dragged out the case in court for months and basically lived rent free. And they knew how to gain the system with at least at least Alameda County. What would allow them to basically blow off going to court and prolong their stay. Now, police say once the brothers finally moved out, they pulled the same scheme two streets over. Authorities say the cadeers bill beinged five landlords out of 125,000 in unpaid rent and damages. Now, police in fremont created a list of scams you need to know about and watch out for.

Hopefully everybody is behaving. We have a problem on 101 at the peninsula. An accident is blocking the right lane. If youre driving northbound on 101 it is beginning to slow down from the belmont area just north of san carlos up to san mateo. It stays that way. Now, if you want to use 280 instead, if you can get up to 280, that would be a better deal. As i look at the other things on this very map you can see if youre driving in hayward, traffic is a little slow on westbound 92 and it is slow all the way across the dumbarton bridge heading out to the peninsula that way. This is a look at interstate 880. It is moderately heavy driving down to downtown oakland. We dont see the usual stop and go traffic yet. It will come later on. At the bay bridge, it is backed up. However we have a big backup on 580. If 580 is the way you approach the bay bridge, give yourself extra time. 7 41. Lets go to steve now with todays weather. Thank you,. Youre welcome, steve. It is part lee cloudy out there. Two systems. One giving Southern California rain. One to the north that will give us partly cloudy skies. A little precip towards mendocino and lake county.

Oh, its been a long time. Since the 25th of january. We are now 20 days of dry weather. Is there any sign of any rain coming in . Yes, but problem he not for a week or so. The snow water equivalent for the sierra last year was a banner year. This year has been just terrible. 18 of normal northern sierra or 3. 9 inches snow water equivalent. 25 of normal for tahoe area. 5. 6. A little better there for central. And the southern sierra is just as bad as the northern. 18 of normal. So 3. 3 inches snow water equivalent. On june 26th, the summer solstice, there was 4. 8 inches snow water equivalent. Today there is 4. 4. We had more in the first day of summer than right now. Is there a sign of snow coming . Yes. Sunday and monday. It looks cold for us. The end result going forward, cold lows, windy at times. A cold air mass could settle in monday. That will give sierra snow. The possibility of these lows going out over water which would be beneficial for us shows up around the 24th through march 2nd. Theres three system thats come through. We will see if they hold. If they do, that would eventually give us rain. Until then the systems dont hold a lot of moisture but cold air. 30s and 40s on the temps for the peninsula. Woodside is at 33. Even foster city, san mateo, upper 30s. Fremont is 34 degrees. 44 at montero. Light rain up in Mendocino County. Not much when it gets to napa county. Southern california finally getting rain. Not a lot but theyre getting some this morning. This system that will push the low towards the four corners, in advance of that, look at the moisture streaming into arizona which really needs the rain as well. A cloudy and rainy day for some around tucson and phoenix, if youre heading down there maybe early jump on pitchers and catchers. The low tracks towards the east. Another system will trop in monday. That will be a really cold system. Could give the sierra some snow. 50s and 60s on the temps. I think some of the warmest temps we will see for a while will be friday and into saturday. I would expect a cold pattern early next week. All right, steve. Thanks. Youre welcome. The time is 7 45. Valentines day is a chance to give back for some.

There are two types of people in the world. Those who fear the future. And those who embrace it. The future is for the unafraid. Police in new orleans are investigating a shooting where two people were killed and three others were hurt. It happened last night in the Lower 9th Ward not far from fat tuesday celebrations. The shooting victims were in a car at a gas station when several gunman started shooting. The search for a suspect and motive continue this morning. In chicago, an Investigation Continues into yesterdays deadly shooting where an off duty Police Commander was killed while chasing a suspect. Paul bower was in Downtown Chicago for a meeting when he spotted a man that Police Officers were running after. The 53yearold commander confronted that suspect. Officials say he was shot several times as he struggled with the suspect. Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson was choking back tears as he talked about the 31 year police veteran. Any loss of life is n. This sit in this sit see tragic. Today it is difficult. The suspect is in custody. A weapon was recovered.

Weve got troopers coming. Get out of the way. Youre still going 100 even . Im doing like 95. Yes, maam. What do you do . Troopers threw down spike strips to slow him down.

Not clear why the gas pedal stuck. Unthinkable. The time is 7 55. The as and the giants are at spring training. Pitchers and catchers will participate in their first workout today. Reporter were here in scottsdale, the home of the San Francisco giants where the lockers were waiting for the players to come in and fill the jerseys this is pitchers and catchers time and they have one of the most high profile catchers in the game. It is hard to believe that buster posey is starting his 10th Major League Season with the giants. The guy part of three world series championships in five years is now experiencing what for him is a champ hip drought. In addition, he has never come to camp on the heels of a 98 loss season. I know our expectations were much higher than that last year and they are going into this year. Reporter put posey in the category of the players who were happy what the giants did during the hoff season, acquiring veteran players in key positions rather than a rebuild. They could have said were going to tear this down and start over. Fortunately for us players they believe we can get back to where we want to be and, you know, adding players, mccutchen and longoria and awesome jackson show us. I know they feel like we can do that. Now it is up to us as players to go out and do it. Reporter age 30 is a marker in pro sports. It is an age when people start asking how much longer your career will last. Posey will be 31 next month. His veteran status has changed how he now views his career. It is not like im 23 or 24 anymore. I understand that theres, you know, a limit to the number of years that you can play. So i think as much as anything i want to make the most of the time that i have left to play the game that i enjoy so much. Reporter today the giants pitchers and catchers get on the field for their first workouts. Later today will be over in mesa with the as. In scottsdale, joe fonzi, ktvu fox 2 news. Stay stay with v. A. Vu for continuing coverage from arizona. Joe fonzi will be joining us on the 9 today. All right. The time is 7 57. A dozen children recovering in San Francisco after getting sick at a middle school. The suspected cause and what the school is doing today. Five students from a San Francisco middle school are sent to the hospital after consuming an unknown substance at school. What they may have ingested and what the School District is doing about it today. Imagine looking out of a plane window ask seeing this. What passengers heard moments before being told to brace for impact. Mornings on 2 continues now. This is ktvu mornings on 2. Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to morn morning mornings on 2. Im mike mibach. Im gasia mikaelian. Steve paulson is here to help us guide through this have a deal. I would wear a jacket if youre having lunch outside. Mike. Good morning, steve. Good morning. Partly cloudy. School. Very cold for some this morning. Two systems, one north, one south. One north will bump the clouds out of the san jose, Santa Clara Valley. Our good friends at the National Weather service in monterey with this retweet. Beautiful shot of carmel beach. Saw that over the weekend. He is on twitter. That a beauty. Nice shot there. We had a lot of 30s yesterday. Upper 30s, lower 40s. Pg is at 50. Pebble is at 48. 46 monterey. Those are about five to ten degrees warmer than this time yesterday. Cottages at point reyes, cold and 34 after an overnight low of 32 in inverness. That is definitely a burr. Point reyes is 38. And bodega bay, 42. Lots of 30s. Petaluma. All had lows in the 20s this morning. 20s and 30s to the north. 30s and 40s amped here with sfo at 50. 14 degrees cooler at fairfield and napa airport than 24 hours ago because that wind tailed off. Here is our system to the north producing live precip and low snow as well. Mendocino and lake county holding together. And even into Southern California they are getting some rape. This will keep us on a partly cloudy cool pattern. Look at this barreling into arizona. It looks like rain is on the way for joe fonzi and everybody. Down in phoenix and for catchers and pitchers. For us, though, we will have a cooler day. 50s and 60s, right about average. A little below average up north. 8 02. Sal tells us. Things are improving in some commutes but not on others. If youre approaching the macarthur maze, a 20minute delay from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze is not ai slow one considering the time of the morning. Just under 30 minutes which ill take if thats my commute every day. Sometimes it is 40 to 45 minutes. At the bay bridge, we have traffic backing up for 15 to 20 before you make it on to the span. This is a look at interstate 880. It is finally beginning to slow from san leandro to downtown oakland which is typical. 580 approaching the bay bridge this morning is an especially slow shape, driving especially after the 980 interchange. This is a look at the san mateo bridge. It is okay. Once you again to the peninsula, 101 is recovering from earlier issues. We had an accident on northbound 101 at 92. So the peninsula traffic northbound 101 is slow. It stays that way up to the airport. 8 03. Back to the desk. Ten students got sick. Five had to go to the hospital after eating an unknown substance at school. It it happened at James Lick Middle School in San Francisco. Allie rasmus is live at the school to explain what we are waiting to hear from authorities later this morning. Allie. Reporter yes. I got a brief update from a School District spokesperson who says they are waiting to get an update on the condition of the five students from James Lick Middle School that had to go to the hospital yesterday after consuming an unknown substance. At least one of the five students had a stronger reaction to whatever they ate compared to the others. The big question this morning is what exactly did they eat that made them so sick. You can see with sky fox overhead, they had to wheel one of the students into an ambulance on the way to the hospital. Firefighters said they would be working with the district, the hospital and the local poison control officials to answer the question of what did they eat. Several students at the school told ktvu and their parents that a female student was passing around what may have been a marijuana laced candy and possibly Prescription Medication as well that. Is according to several students who were at school when it happened. Parents at james lick yesterday were understandably upset by what happened. And one parent said she would be talking to her daughter about the whole situation. These are babies. This is a middle school. My kid is in 6th grade. Now i have to be im going to be on bart explaining the whole situation to her, exactly what they could have consumed and how she needs to look out and make sure that she never consumes it. Reporter the district plans to have counselors on hand today to talk to the students about what happened and encourage them to avoid this sort of thing. Again, the only thing that we have heard from skull district officials this morning is that they are waiting for updates on the students condition. Ten got sick and five went to the hospital. Were waiting for the information from the district. Back to you guys. Thank you, allie rasmus. Happening today the couple suspects of stabbing and killing a young woman and leaving her on a remote road in Alameda County will make their first court appearance. The couple will be charged with murder when they appear in court this afternoon. They were arrested in modesto at the home they share after the defendant was left to die. Friends of cuesta remembered her kindness and strength. They gathered at the great oak skate park in the city. She was new to skateboarding but loved the sports challenges and the connection to the sport. Cuesta demonstrated her determination as she struggled to stay alive long enough to tell authority whos killed her. She fought to the end to get the people who did this to her. So i guess just to honor her courage and her like her will to get justice for her. Investigators say cuesta knew the suspects and she willingly got into the vehicle with them. What they do not know yet is why she was killed. The Solano County d. A. s office and Vallejo Police are investigating a Deadly Police shooting, one that happened at 7 40 last night. A Patrol Officer conducted what was described as an have egg tiff stop at marin and florida streets. Authorities say the suspect tried to run away and the officer gave chase. Were told there was a violent struggle. The officer says he then fired his gun in self defense. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. There is no word on the suspects name or gender even. The officer was placed on administrative leave pending the results of the investigation which is standard protocol. Were monitoring a developing story of a shooting at the National Security agency outside of washington, d. C. Shots were fired at a black suv at the entrance of the facility this morning. There were bullet holes on a front windshield. The Associated Press reports that a suspect was stopped at the gate and wounded. And has since been transported to the hospital. There were earlier reports that as many as three people were hurt but there is no official word that there were injuries. The time is 8 07. Quite a scare for passengers on a flight from sfo to hawaii yesterday after an engine cover fell off over the pacific ocean. Look at the pictures taken bypass engineers. You can see the engine on the boeing 777 exposed. Passengers say the plane started to shake after they heard a loud bang. The plane did make an Emergency Landing safely but passengers were clearly shaken. I turned on my phone. I took this video. And at the end i told my family i love them. They made everybody practice the emergency thing. At the end we had to sit down with our we had to be down and stuck with our heads down and holding our ankles when we landed. Brace, brace, brace. And then there was a cheer after we landed. Not yet clear if the engine was damaged. The f. A. A. Is investigating. San francisco supervisors have approved a payout to a firefighter involved in the plane crash at sfo in 2013. Investigators say firefighter aleece duckett ran over a teenage was thrown from the plane during the crash.

According to the lawsuit she says she was being made a scapegoat for larger failures in the rescue efforts. The teenager died along with two other people. A former uc Berkeley Student who was removed from a Southwest Airlines plane after he spoke arabic has filed a lawsuit against the airline claiming his civil rights were violated. He was seated on a southwest flight at lax waiting for the plane to take off for oakland. He called his uncle and a passenger who heard him speaking in arabic, reported him to the airline staff. He was escorted off the plane and interrogated and searched by fbi agent. After he was cleared by the fbi, southwest refunded his ticket but refused to book him on another flight. In a previous statement back in april of 2016 southwest said the passenger who made the complaint also spoke arabic and asked the flight crew to investigate what were perceived to be threatening comments. Southwest said it was the content of the passengers conversation not the language used that prompted the report leading to our investigation.

It is beginning to get filled in in san leandro all the way up to downtown. The family of a man shot and killed by a bart Police Officer last month is planning to sue bart and the officer who pulled the trigger. Kendalls family held a rally in oakland yesterday. They watched the video from the saves body camera and say he was wrongfully killed. Bart police say officer joseph mateo responded to shots fired. Police say the officer said he was fighting with another man who had already been shot and that mateo warned him several times before he started shooting. The officer started shooting. His hands were coming up. And he gets shot, boom, boom, boom. Falls back on the ground like this. And nothing in his hands. He didnt drop anything. We will continue to get the facts. It is really in the court of the oakland Police Department and the d. A. s office on what they decide to do. Bart police say a gun was found at the scene and that they will release video from the officers body camera once the investigation is complete.

A florida man has a terrifying ride on a freeway. His gas pedal got stuck and his suv accelerated to about 100 Miles Per Hour. Im about to hit somebody. We have troopers coming. Get out of the way. Youre still going 100 even. Im doing like 95, about 100, yes, maam. This part of the desperate 911 call that manmade from behind the wheel as he had no control over his suv. Troopers put down spike strips to slow him down but the suv kept going on its rims. They finally pulled a pit maneuver to stop the vehicle. It went on for 50 miles. It is not clear what caused the gas pedal to stick but can you imagine . No. I lost my brakes coming down fillmore once in the city about 25 years ago. The northern end of it. Not the steepest part but i turned into garbage cans and a pole. There is that feeling of panic. I cant emergency going 100. And for 50 miles. Quite an ordeal. Lets check in with sal. Speaking of cars and traffic. Thats right, guys. We have a lot of slow traffic for the last half of the commute. We have seen traffic approaching the bay bridge to be pretty slow, especially on 580. But on 80, it has been only a 30minute delay between the carquinez bridge and the macarthur maze. A 30minute drive, i should say. 880 is really beginning to slow down from the san leandro up to oakland. So is 580. San mateo traffic is moderately heavy. As we look at the peninsula, we have had slow traffic. It slows from an earlier problem in san mateo all the way up to burlingame. Northbound 280 looks good. Near the mall it stays slow all the way to near the Crystal Springs reservoir. 8 17. Lets bring in steve with todays weather. Thank you, sal. A good morning under partly cloudy skies. Some cloud cover to the south. San jose, Santa Clara Valley associated with a low that is giving Southern California some rain. Another system to the north. In between we have sunshine and some rather cold temps this morning. We will start up in the sierra where they had teens and 20s for lows. Livermore, 26. Sebastopol, 28. Geyserville, 29. And hillsberg, north hillsberg, 29 degrees. 30s now were beginning to bounce off the morning lowes. Colder towards napa county, solano and contra costa. They had a breeze yesterday. They lost the breeze. Occidental in the 30s. Point reyes at 38. Pelt loom a, san rafael was. Many others as well. We could use rain. Nothing yet. But we are inching closer. There are sign thats something will eventually develop. It may be about 26 or 27 before we get rain. The low pressure system is dropping in or going over land. That will eventually help the sierra. For us, a cool windy pattern. Still no rain associated with the low. Over time, the forecast models are showing the lows going without a trajectory over water. That would help. Probably around the 24th through march 2nd. But pretty cold air mass looks to be working its way in here. We will be in here for a bit. 30s and 40s for the temps. Fairfield and napa is much colder than 24 hours ago. Minus 8 for livermore. San jose is plus four due to the cloud cover. Other locations, santa rosa at minus six compared to yesterday. Light precip and low snow towards mendocino and napa county. Then it will start to fall apart or very high based. That is what will sweep us over us today which will push all of the cloud cover oust the way. Some has been wrapping back from south to north and moving into the south bay and also monterey. Two systems here. First of what looks to be many. Here it is. They need the rain down into phoenix. If youre heading down there for pitchers or catchers, rain is on the way. Moving into phoenix. One system, two systems, three, lots going on. Just not over us. Getting closer as you can see. Joe fonzi will be live 9 30 on the 9 . I think thats right. Yes, sir. He will probably say it is raining or its on its way. Temperatures will be near average to slightly below to the north. Overall a little bit of a warmup friday and saturday.

Hope youre having a great valentines day morning. Hopefully theres a lot of sunshine for everybody today. Some, not a lot. Not a lot. Partly sunny. Okay. Ill take it. We have some now. But there is a weak system dragging across that will give us cloud cover here. Already some to the south. Mostly clear here. Mostly cloudy as you head up towards Sonoma County and north into helped sin owe and lake mendocino and lake county. Cold this morning. We saw 44 in oakland. A chill in the morning air.

Some have been slightly better and others have been slightly worse than normal. Lets start with the freeway that is not too bad. A 30minute delay or 30minute drive from the carquinez bridge to the mac maze. That is not bad. A little less than 30 minutes. When you get to the bay bridge, it is about normal. The problem is earlier we had an accident that slowed people down on 580. That is coming from the lake shore area to the bay bridge. It will be particularly slow this morning. 880 is backed up from 238. San mateo bridge has been busy over to the peninsula. We had earlier problems. Southbound 880 we havent talked about it much. It will be slow now approaching an accident near stevenson. You can see that. If you happen to be getting on the freeway after that, it looks okay. And you can see slow traffic also in the south bay on all of the approaches to sunnyvale which is not unusual. 8 31. Back to the desk. Thank you, sal. The Solano County d. A. s office and pd investigating a deadly officerinvolved shooting this morning. It happened near the historical museum. Alex savidge is live in vallejo where the officer says he had no choice but to fire his gun. Reporter well, that is what police are saying. Relatives of the man who was shot and killed last night by this vallejo officer are telling us that he was not armed and in the Police Account of what happened, there is no mention of the man having a gun. Now, just a few minutes ago we were given a faux to have the man who died last night in this officerinvolved shooting. Want to put it on the screen here. According to his uncle who i just spoke with, the man who was killed last night was 32 yearold ranel foster. The father of two young children. According to authorities, a Vallejo Police officer was trying to stop foster as he was riding his bike in the neighborhood last night. According to police, he ditched his bike and then he took off running. The officer caught up to foster, behind some apartments in this area. And thats when there was gunfire. Shots fired 415 carolina street. Is the officer okay . Confirmed. Im okay. Reporter now, this shooting happened around 7 40 last night. Again, along carolina street just off marin. The officer was involved in what authorities are describing as a physical struggle, violent. Near the apartments the officer fired his gun, striking foster who ultimately died here at the scene. Now, according to relatives, this may have all stemmed from some sort of a domestic dispute between foster and the mother of his children. And that is why that Vallejo Police officer was trying to stop foster and potentially question him about what happened. Again, that officer spotted foster nearby on his bike. That led to a chase and then ultimately to this deadly shooting. Shooting. He never carried a gun. He never carried a gun. No. He was on a bike. We were told that he jumped off his bike and ran. And they shot him. Reporter and they shot him. Reporter again, relatives are telling us the man who was shot and killed last night by Vallejo Police was 32yearold ranel foster, a father of two. The officer who fired his gun last night has been put on leave. In a statement emailed to us, Vallejo Police say the officer fired in self defense. We know there will be a full investigation that will happen. It will include the Vallejo Police department as well as the Solano County District Attorneys Office and obviously investigators will be trying to figure out if the shooting was justified. Alex, thank you. To emryville where police are looking for a suspect after a man was shot near citys amtrak station over the weekend. According to his familys gofundme page, alex was shot during a robbery. Police found the novato man unconscious with life threatening injuries at about 9 15 sunday night in the area of 59th near horton street. The family says he is still in Critical Condition and has a long recovery ahead. Police are asking for anyone on the information on the shooting or a possible suspect to call him. Another set back for President Trumps plan to end the daca program. The judge says that there were not adequate reasons for announcing the program would end on march 5th. The federal judge says the program is legal and therefore the administration doesnt have a legitimate reason to end it. However, the judge also said that his ruling does not mean the government should be forced to allow more people into the program. It simply means the current daca participants should stay protected. On friday, the Supreme Court may announce if it will hear the case. In the meantime in the u. S. Senate the immigration debate continues. Yesterday there was little progress at the capitol. Senate republicans are pushing for plans that request chain migration reform and sanctuary cities. Democrats want more protection for those in the daca program. They are optimistic there could be a deal. If we can come up with a bipartisan compromise that looks like it is in the ballpark of 60, let it rip. Lets go. There is no reason in the world if there is a core 60 votes that supports something we cant achieve it in the next few days. Today the senate is expected to officially start drafting an immigration plan. Berkeley has become the first city in the United States to declare itself a sanctuary city for marijuana users. The becky City Council Unanimously approved a measure last night prohibiting City Employees and police from cooperating with federal agent enforcing marijuana laws. Berkeley resolution is modeled after the sanctuary state policy that protects undocumented immigrants. It pits the state against federal laws that still classify marijuana as an illegal drug. We are going to provide sanctuary. We wont share information with the d. A. We wont assist the enforcement of laws. Once the resolution was passed the mayor said it was the first city in the country to declare itself a cannabis sanctuary city. They will also lower the sales tax from 10 to 5 for cannabis. Technical problems are making it difficult for bart to crack down on people who dont pay to ride the system. The San Francisco chronicle report thats bart sent teams of inspectors in last month to check for people without clipper cards or tickets. But the scanner didnt work. Now bart tells the paper even if they worked they wouldnt be able to print out citations for violaters. Bart hopes to have the program working by next month.
