Satellites on board. I was like, maybe i should get my phone but then the lights started to flash. I watched it live on our air. Its amazing what people can do, thats my take away. Welcome. Another strange sight, an Emergency Landing in gold ern gate park, a coast guard chopper. Golden gate park, a coast guard chopper, everyone is okay. When a helicopter has to land, it could have been they got a chipped light, which means that they have to land immediately, thats a common rescue helicopter that they use to get people out of the water. Its what they lower people down to the water with too to rescue people. Where were you when you had your Emergency Landing . Close to the helipad, so we went up and came right back down. The sun is shining, is a cool but beautiful morning in San Francisco. Yes, the afternoon will be different, lets hope hope so, the streak of 27 days without rain in San Francisco has continued. It looks like we are going to need a miracle march and there are hints that the end of february disp the first week in march will be wet. In 2016 we had a very wet march but 2012, 1. 9 inches in San Francisco only. 1995, a quarter of an inch. February 1989, 1. 49. So there is a history there and there are early signs that we could get off to a good start. We need the rain, we have not rained for 27 days, 45 of normal for san jose, santa rosa, 51 , i showed this earlier, there is snow in the mountains, looking good in truckee, they are getting six to 10 inches of snow. Snow being reported down to 2,000 feet in pollack pines, its a better chance of snow than rain for us, this is the snow in shasta. Even into Mendocino County and lake county, very low snow levels, the rain will not be until layer on. We have colder air to the north. 40s on the temperatures, its a cool blustery day, gusts to 40 Miles Per Hour at sfo. Gusts to 38 at half moon bay, its a west north west breeze, the system will come in and maybe some reports of hail by later tonight. The morning commute was quiet. The evening commute, not so much. We have a break on the weekend. Monday and much of next week we dwet much needed rain. Right now President Donald Trump is holding a meeting on gun safety at the white house, this time with city and state officials who have been impacted by school shootings, one father whose daughter was killed in last weeks shooting said he is angry. How many schools, how many children have to get shot. It stops with this administration and me, i am not going to sleep until its fixed. Mr. President , we are going to fix it. I am going to fix it, i am not going to rest. Next week, the president will hold another listening session at the white house but this time, with the governors. This mornings meeting follows a rally in florida by students tow capitol. They are saying they will continue the momentum for a long as it takes, we have a recap of the effort. Reporter florida students head back to broward county, they were in the capitol to discuss gun control. At a massive rally outside of the capitol, washington, dc was put on notice. To congress, you are directly responsible for every community that has lost people to gun violence and you have the power to change this, if you do not, we will change you. Some students worry about being taken seriously. We have heard enough of, you are so strong, thats not why we are here, we are not here to be patted on the back. This is a week since the shooting at Marjory Stoneman douglas high school. Students protested by walking out of class, some demonstrations lasted 17 minutes for the number of People Killed in parkland. Authorities are still investigating last weeks massacre, like why the Schools Deputy did not intervene. Our deputies who are qualified and trained will be carrying rifles on school grounds. Next week students le send on washington, dc for rallies will descend on washington, dc for rallies. The proposal that is getting the most attention is the proposal to arm school teachers. Reporter there are eight states that already allow, or not prohibit teachers from carrying concealed weapons in the classroom. California is not one of them but in one of seller tweets on the topic, President Donald Trump said Arming Teachers would allow them to immediately fire back if a savage sicko came to the school with bad intentions. More assets at less costs than guards, a Gun Free School is a magnet for bad people. We spoke with several people to get their reaction. I believe that training should be involved with people that carry guns, anybody that gets a gun should be trained to carry guns, i leave bref that there should be more Law Enforcement in schools believe that there should be more Law Enforcement in schools, not teachers carrying guns. Its worth it if it can save a kid. Its a bad idea. We need less guns not more guns, i respect teachers, they make the world a better place and educate my children but i do not think that adding a gun in the mix is going towards getting more gun control in the country. This idea calm up during a listening session with the president , the Vice President , the education secretary and survivors of school shooting, President Donald Trump suggested arming and training 20 of educators nationwide which adds up to 640 to 700,000 people across the country. In the last hour, the head of the nra, Wayne Lapierre spoke in support of Arming Teachers at a speech at the conservative Political Action conference, he blamed the failure of families and the Mental Health system and the fbi for the shooting in florida last week. Thehead of the National Education association condemned the idea saying that what students need in the classroom is more support, more materials and better education, not more guns. Our question of the day, do you think that teachers should be armed. 17 say yes, 83 say no. A viewer said i think that armed guards are a better choice but a teacher that wants to carry a gun should be able to do so if they have proper training. Is it smarter to put an officer in every school. The cost to equip a teacher will cost more and may put students and faculty in more danger. At the sight of the high school shooting, there was an armed School Officer on campus who did not encounter the gunman. It was a big school. 3,000 kids. Coming up next on mornings on 2, what happens when dangerous cars are being used for ride sharing, we look into hidden issues and what you can do to test your safety we have more coming up on ktvu news right after the break at at t, we believe in access.

When you pay for a Ride Share Service and taxi, you expect a safe driver but what about the vehicle itself. We looked into that and what we found may make you want to take action before climbing into an uber. Reporter at any hour, traffic, a plethora of passengers at San Francisco international airport, and taxis and ubers at every turn, chris works for carfax, a company that gathers information on every car on the roads. Right now in california, 7. 7 vehicles have a defective part and one and a half million are on bay area streets. One of the reasons for cars not getting fixed is peoples attitudes towards the recalls. Its a pain to do it, i never do it. To you worry about that. No. Reporter we wanted to see how many ride share cars have defective parts gone unfixed. We can enter a license plate number to get information immediately, it did not take long and we found. One open recall. Reporter this toyota has a faulty shift lever, you think that the van is in park and it rolls away. This increases your risk of a crash. Reporter one of the most dangerous defects is from the air bags, in a crash, you can get pieces of metal flying into passengers. We found that this uber driver has a bad passenger side air bag with the recall dating back two years. If you are in an accident, that air bag can explode. Reporter the national Highway Traffic Safety Association calls it the biggest recall in history and we found several ride share cars with that same problem. In total we tested 70 uber and lyft vehicles, one in six had a serious safety recall from exploding air bags to potential fuel leaks or computer issues. As a rider, does that concern you. I live in florida, nobody cares about car safety there. Reporter when this passengers ride rolled up we ran the plate and broke the news. Did you know that your car has a recall. No. Reporter it was a faulty air bag. Lyft only said is requires a rigorous safety inspection, uber also refused an an come ra interview but they they remind drivers to check for recalls. This is their 19point inspection sheet that every car must pass but it never says anything im safety recalls. The safety of our roadways is at risk, the longer these vehicles have recalls that are left unfixed. Reporter we asked for license plates and vin numbers for every registered taxi, what we found was more alarming, out of 2,000 taxis, almost half had a poarl deadly defect. Potentially deadly defect. There were problems with power steering and door laches and air bags and seat belts. We have 11 lives in the shop. 30 mechanics working seven days a week. Chris is the owner of yellow cab, one of the biggest Cab Companies in San Francisco. We asked him about what we uncovered. It was not unexpected. Reporter he said his team has taken it upon themselves, not relying on the manufacturer, to start the repairs. We have a responsibility to the passengers and the drivers, we own the vehicles, we are liable if anything happens to anyone in our cars. Reporter city inspectors signed the light on inspection points before giving the seal of approval but out on the road, the responsibility for repairs falls on everyone. I never thought about this, i take uber and i ride shot gun if i am in the passenger seat. If i get wounded, could i go after uber if the vehicle was on a recall and the driver did not fix it . I think you can go after both. Its something to think about if you are an uber user, its just one of those things that you may not think about but i told some people about this and we ran out in the parking lot to see what we have. Its typically something that people think about when they go on a long car drive but if i am in an uber, i am thinking, it will not happen to me, just get me there. You think it will not happen to you until it does, then what happens if you have an explosion and you are injured. A lot of the issues with Ride Sharing Companies is regulation. Will there be a time when the Ride Sharing Companies will be more closely regulated because of Something Like this. I think that the Taxi Companies are going to push that, they say a third party comes out and inspects our cars but uber and lyft just police themselves. They do not say anything about recalls. Do you think that stories like this will push them that way . We hope so, at the end of the day its about safety on the roads. Thats the goal here. But again, if i get an uber and i am going to take one saturday and i need to go and it shows that you have a recall, i still may go in it it. You are still safer being in an uber than driving under the influence. Yes but you never know when something bad is going to happen when you are in a car that needs a recall fix. I know someone who will run the plate when he is waiting for an uber and if he sees a recall not addressed, he will cancel the ride. Or you can say, you need to get this fixed but right now there are no laws in california that require drivers to get it fixed. So that might be another thing. Exactly. Thank you. Coming up next on mornings on 2, new details on a deadly shooting involving police, the Transit Agency releases the full body camera in defense of the officer involved we have more coming up on ktvu news right after the break. Now this is the color that i like, green on the dow and the nasdaq and the s p. We going into oakland, this is a board of directors meeting for the bart police, family members killed by police are saying that they are there to demand justice, thats a day after the bart Police Released body camera video after the family released a shorter clip. Bart released the whole video. It shows the officers talking to a woman about a fare evasion, then the officer hears the shoghts and reacts and fires the fate at shots. The officer runs across four lanes of traffic to where the men were involved in a scuffle. The officer has the gun drawn shouting commands. The family said they are happy that bart released the video. Its unprecedented for us to share video of ongoing investigations so i do want to touch on to things right up front. I want to emphasize that the loss of any member of the community is tragic, this case is no different, number two, there are multiple ongoing investigations taking place. The chief could not go into details about the shooting because of the ongoing investigations but he pointed out these photos in which officers used a yellow circle to show the weapon. To me the gun appears when we see the other individual trying to take the gun away from him or pin it to the ground. Thats the first time that the camera view shows that its a hand gun. We mosted the full bart police video of the shooting on our website, ktvu. Com, click on the story near the top of the home page.

This morning we are talking about a suggestion by President Donald Trump to arm teachers to prevent school shootings, he discussed the proposal with Florida High School students yesterday. A minute ago, the president ordered the Justice Department to work towards banning bump stocks but the proposal receiving the most attention this morning involves Arming Teachers, our question of the day is, do you think that teachers should be armed. 83 are saying no, 17 say yes, a lot of conversation on social media about this. Karen said teachers signed up for the job to educate, not fight battles, where should we draw the line, arming Movie Theater ushers . I have a lot of people saying, i think that we need to understand the reason that the children are resorting to violence, what support are they lacking from their homes or schools. Thank you for the responses, you can always reach us on twitter, use the hashtag ktvu fox news the nine. In a speech at cpac, Wayne Lapierre accused politicians and the news media of exploiting the florida tragedy to abolish the second amendment. Evil walks among us and god help us, if we do not harden our schools to protect our kids. The whole idea from some of our opponents, that Armed Security makes us less safe, is completely ridiculous. He went on to blame the fbi, School Security failures and Mental Health issues for the florida shooting. For more on our other headlines lets go to dave. Nikolas cruz, the florida teenager accused of 17 people at a Florida High School may lose his public defender if its found out that he may be getting a big inheritance, nikolas cruz told the miami herald he would be getting an 800,000 inheritance from his mother when he turns 22, his public defender could also charge him if he gets that money. Earlier this morning in bay point, a car and a pickup truck crashed killing the passenger in the car and injuring two people in the public truck, the driver of the car was arrested for dui, after the collision, the car and the truck landed in the front yard of a home but nobody at the home was hurt spvment we have developing news in concord. The police are at a Mobile Home Park on meadow lean near interstate 680. There is a report of a homicide but we have not confirmed that. We have a crew there and they will bring you that information on the noon news. Police in san jose are investigating whether girls at an all Girls High School violated requirements to report sexual violence, school staff is required to notify the police of reports or suspicions that a child may be being abused. Mike, sal, back to you. Thank you, dave. The mayors of 11 of the biggest cities in california are supporting legislation that would ear mark a billion dollars to fight homelessness, they would use one and a half billion dollars from the states Budget Surplus to provide assistance to cities dealing with the homeless crisis. The housing crisis has been getting worse in california, there are 105,000 Homeless People across the state and city leaders said they need help from the straight to address this issue. We believe if the state of california invests is surplus into addressing this human humanitarian crisis, its the mayors that will deliver results the fastest. Oakland mayor libby schaaf pointed to work shes doing to help People Living on the streets of oakland. The District Attorney of San Francisco said he has a plan to cut the numbers of car burglaries in the city, San Francisco averaged three car break ins every day, he has established a hot line and website where people with report car break ins, he is also asking people to show videos of the. For one local high school, acceptance letters will be considered a success of a exerm. We look at a New High School with a different style of education. I first found out about it as a place where you do not have to do homework. Reporter they do not have a lot of traditional homework because the emphasis is on group projects. You understand and learn rather than just doing busy work. Mark is a senior and one of the first members of the graduating class, so is jen jenny who wanted something different. You go to your next class because you want to, not because you are told to by a bell. Reporter thats because there are no bells, music can be heard in the halls as kids go to their next class when they are ready. Since opening four years ago, the Public Charter School has been located in a hallway of another high school, an auto shop and various buildings, now after a 43 million donation from the oracle education foundation, they sit on a campus next to oracle. They are near the Tech Industry and the nooj industry, we benefit from the knowledge industry and we benefit from having such great thinkers. Reporter Design Thinking is at the center of all of the class work, so what is Design Thinking. You put yourself in to the users shoes and understand where they are coming from, you understand their problems and needs and that helps you define their problems and find something to help them. If you are going to do something that involves another person, you should figure out what that person wants before you go and do it. Is like when the executive director of the school was trying to sell the school to the community. They have to trust that this school is good. Reporter they had a hard time filling the spots the first year, now they get 1,000 applications for the 150 spots where are chosen by lottery. When the students come in here, they should feel like anything is possible and this building is a reminder of that. Something else you do not see at a traditional school, their executive session, Business Leaders teach exploration classes. It better prepares students to know what they want to invest their time and tuition money in when they get to college. A lot of people look at this and say, silicon valley, you have to do Something Like that but i feel that this type of school can help anywhere and every kid deserves that opportunity to have a system decided to help them unlock their potential. We are live in the studio with sam. Music, no bells, projects, i am very intrigued by that. They have sold the school to the community. What about to colleges, will colleges accept these students. So far it seems that they are excited about it. I talked to a girl who early applied and got early acceptance, she combines they are love of engineering with soccer, she has a scholarship to play at a small private school back east. Shes going for a serious science career, mark has applied to stanford and mit and berkeley, we will see, they are waiting for their letters right about now. People from around the world are coming to see this model and experience it first hand. Thats great. Some of these kids are brilliant. How are they graded. When you sand off your transcript, the colleges do not have enough time to look at your school, they just look at the numbers, how do you get past that. They have traditional grading. They have to take the sat or the act. They just get to learn and progress at their own pace, if you are not doing great at one subject or one section, you can take your time, you do not have to be rushed off to the next one, those are building blocks, science and math and english, you have to get one concept before you move to the next. Sometimes schools rush you there, test on friday no matter what. If you have not mastered one skill you are lost in the next one, sometimes if they are doing well this a subject they could move along. For families in the bay area, doing anything other than sending them to the Public School in their neighborhood is an ert, financially and time wise, is this school doing more to lure families not thinking about a school like this. Thuf shuttles and targeting recruitment to get more economic diversity, its still a lottery but they are trying to target outside of the san mateo and Redwood Shores area. I wonder if other Tech Companies will have their own schools. Some have requested about that. Certain schools have representations, if you went to a high school, a certain high school, and get good grades, the colleges know it. After meeting some of these kids and the Design Thinking, what a concept. Make a product and see what the users and viewers might like. They say, we want this kid. After meeting those kids, i have no doubt that they are going to create a legacy for their school. Coming up, a new adventure for visitors to the grand canyon but its not for the faint of heart. Also a live saving catch caught on camera, a Police Officer springs into action after hearing reports of a chiel hanging from a balcony, we show you what happens next child hanging from a balcony, we show you what happens next and bedroom for a fraction of what youd pay elsewhere.

A controversial statue that has been in the Civic Center Plaza is one step closer to being removed.

Next month, the Arts Commission is expected to approve me moving the statue and putting is putting it in storage. Cable car operators may stop accepting cash next year after operators were caught stealing cash, by the fall of 2019, the agency will require pre paid fares for all car boarding. A man, known as the sea captain america, is spreading love. Reporter he calls himself captain america and has a shield to go with the name but he also wears a turban and a beard. I do not feel safe at work after 9 11. This is a member of the seikh religion, he is often called horrible names. They used to say taliban now its isis. So he put on a captain america uniform in new york and noticed people began to respond differently to him. When i put on the uniform, people respond differently, they treat me as, would you this guy is cool, people will hug me and start to talk to me, Police Officers say, can i take a photo with you. That does not happen to me in safl yan clothes. Reporter now he shares his civilian clothes. Reporter now he shares his experiences with others. Student have said they have not experienced bigoty in the community but they say that the message hits home. People stereotype each other and i notice it. It made me appreciate someone coming to our school and talking about it. Technically we are all minorities so we all share things in common, like he talked about humility and compassion. Reporter he is next scheduled to take his message to employees at google. People say, your message is beautiful and i connect to it. That tells me a lot. This is ktvu fox news news. This saturday, a group of bay area Police Officer and retired officers are heading to puerto rico, its been five months since Hurricane Maria hit the island and families across puerto rico are still struggling, after the hurricane, they raised money to help Law Enforcement officials in 20 cities, now they are bringing more help to those cities where the police have been woshing for months in t shirts and jeans.
