Alert about Police Activity near the intersection of jennings and carroll in the citys Bayview District. So far, what we havent seen is interesting. We havent seen any emergency medical personnel on scene, and we havent heard if anyone was hit by gunfire or transported to any hospitals. We have seen assistant chief david lazard here on scene. So some of the departments top brass on scene, as well as multiple detectives. Now, we did speak earlier briefly with police who say that they would be updating us about what is going on here as soon as possible, coming back to our live shot, you can see more officers now arriving back here on scene at what we are hearing. Was an officer involved shooting again, more than a dozen officers, detectives, some of the citys top brass inside this taped off area, at least two Police Vehicles, multiple other vehicles inside of this area. We are at this point working to try to find out more detail about this, more details about this. Were hoping that San Francisco police will be briefing us soon about what happened here. Like i said, we spoke very briefly with an officer who said she had just arrived on scene. She was trying to gather some information, and once she got that information, she was going to bring that to us. If that happens, we will try to bring that to you as soon as possible. Of course. Stay tuned here on air and online to get the very latest about what we are hearing. Again, was an officer involved shooting in San Franciscos Bayview District . Were live in San Francisco. Christian captain ktvu, fox two news. And from your vantage point, christian, you get a sense that that crime scene is not going anywhere anytime soon. Theyre going to be out there for a while just based on how big the scene is, based on the number of personnel weve seen here, it certainly seems as you said, mike, logical that the scene is going to be here for a while. When you see that top brass out here, certainly it means that its got the attention of some of the Department Heads in San Francisco Police Department. It could indicate there might be a lengthy investigation. So we will stay on top of it here to see what develops out here over the course of the evening. All right. If you get any other new information, let us know. Well put you back on air Christien Kafton live tonight there in the bayview. Christian. Thank you. Were also following breaking news in antioch, where a vegetation fire is reportedly threatening structures. This is time lapse video from a pg e wildfire camera. Skyfox is in route there. It is burning off of slaton ranch road. No word on how big it is or how many structures are threatened. We will bring you more details as we continue to get them. Firefighters were busy earlier this afternoon. Respond to more fires in a concord area. Skyfox was overhead about an hour ago. You can see that charred land and crews surveying the area for any hot spots. No word on the cause. Again with this, were also working to get any more information. And tonight, firefighters in pleasanton investigating what sparked a fire in a mobile home that left one person dead. The fire started just before midnight last night in the pleasanton hacienda mobile home park. Neighbors identified the couple who lived there as catherine and Richard Lorenz of pleasanton. They tell ktvu they heard an explosion and shortly afterwards they say cathy ran out calling for help. Her husband, richard, had mobility issues and was trapped inside and she had a garden hose. She was trying everything. She was panicking and she just kept shouting. My husbands still in there. And that was that was sad. That was sad. They made the decision to aggressively go in and do what we could, knowing that there was somebody in there, but like i said, the conditions changed on them pretty quickly. And all of that smoke and, flammable contents, kind of burst into flames at the same time. Right now, fire investigators are still trying to determine where exactly inside the home that fire started. New at five tonight, the Contra Costa County fair comes to an end on a bad note. Two fair workers robbed at gunpoint right outside of a bank, costing the fair tens of thousands of dollars. Basically, the fair goers and the family are the ones that are really going to possibly suffer at next years fair. Going into this years fair, the concern was over peoples behavior. Ft a fight caused the event to close early las year, and now we have learned robbed at almost 90,000 in cash while visiting a bank before dawn monday morning. Our crime reporter, henry lee, is live at the Antioch Police department with the latest in this investigation. Henry well, Antioch Police tell me it was Standard Practice for workers at the fair to go to the bank in the middle of the night. Now, past deposits of cash went on without a hitch. But this time things did not go smoothly. Two Contra Costa County fair workers carrying cash from parking and entrance fees robbed at a bank in the middle of the night by a man who may have had a gun. It was a large haul. There were in route to make a large deposit of approximately 88,000. Antioch Police Lieutenant Desmond Bittner says the man and woman left the fair on west 10th street and pulled up to the bmo bank on somersville road at about two in the morning on monday. They were approached from behind by an unknown male wearing a mask, who demanded a backpack which was carrying the cash. He also demanded the phones of the two victims. Police say the victims didnt see a gun, but believed he had one. One of the victims also felt a. He described that metal object against his back, which he suspected was was a firearm. The holdup marred an otherwise successful four day run at the fair that ended late sunday night. The Early Morning bank run not unusual for fair workers. It was typical for them to be doing deposits around that, that that our police are looking for surveillance videos on the route the victims took. And at bmo, we dont know if they were followed from the fairgrounds or if somebody was lying in wait in the parking lot. But what police do know is that it was not an inside job. My determination at this point is that they are legitimate victims, and were investigating as if as if its just a normal armed robbery. Must be a pretty bad person to take away from families and guests of a fair that basically gives everything back to the community. Craig cannon is president of the fairs board. He says the robbery could affect some programing for next years fair. And thats what we pay for. The, you know, petting zoos and things like that for the kids. All thats not something you pay to get into. So it might have a little damper on next year trying to get all the events that wed like to provide our patrons for free, basically. Now reach out to the fair ceo to see if this robbery was resolved in any security changes as far as next year, but i have not heard back. Live in antioch. Henry lee ktvu, fox two news. A sad end to the fair season there, henry. Thank you. Tonight Emeryville Police are looking for the person who stabbed someone in the neck outside the chick fil a there. They released these surveillance images of the suspect. Police say the unprovoked attack happened around 2 30 p. M. Yesterday. Its not clear what kind of object was used in the stabbing, as the victim suffered minor injuries. Anyone with information is asked to contact Emeryville Police. New at five recent home burglaries in one peninsula town has prompted police to turn to technology to catch the would be thieves. Ktvu south bay reporter jesse gary live tonight in the town of atherton, with more on the story here. Jesse. Good evening. Mike, good evening to you. Some Police Agencies around the bay already use projectile trackers fired from their Police Vehicle to launch onto a suspects vehicle to track it in case its stolen or wanted in connection with a crime. Atherton police are taking that concept, but putting the trackers on items inside homes so that if those items are stolen, they can be tracked, recovered and the guilty party arrested. Atherton, california, population about 7000. Its a community of meticulous homes hidden behind walls, trees and shrubbery. And somehow thieves are still able to break in and get away. We mostly have an open community, and so people walk in and doors open. They crack a small window, go inside. Maybe the residents are asleep and there they they take whatever they can and off they go. Burglary is kind of a regional problem. It seems like its been pretty widespread throughout. Commander dan larson of the atherton Police Department says a lull in crimes from a high of 45 a few years ago is reversing course, as shown in this map. This years total is almost equal to 2023 level. So the department is launching the bait house program. 50 preselected homeowners agreeing to let police put trackers in common Household Goods that data suggests are likely to be stolen. And once that tracker is moved, we will get a notification of it, which is going to trigger our response for the Police Department, with our ultimate goal being apprehension. Criminal justice experts say this concept can help disrupt criminal gangs moving from city to city. We are in a Technology Race between Law Enforcement and the bad guys. Unlike airtags, which retail for 20 to 30. Atherton police say each tracker in this Program Costs 500. Only a portion of the initial 500 homes have been outfitted so far. You cant use something as simple as a tile or an airtag. You need something essentially that has a radio, has a cellular radio built into it. In addition to a gps tracker, the program is in its infancy, but some residents say it may already be a success. The threat of having a tracer in place could maybe, give, thieves second thoughts about, you know, hitting that house. Maybe. So. Atherton police also say theyre going to bring in the use of their Traffic Cameras to help triangulate a tracker. If its on the move through the town now, they concede its going to take a little bit of time to tell if this program is successful. If the rate of burglaries continues on a pace to exceed last years total, or if it drops precipitously. Were live in atherton this evening. Jesse gary, ktvu, fox two news. Mike, back to you. All right, jesse, thank you for that new video tonight of a cliffside rescue just south of stinson beach, marin county fire sharing this video of a chp helicopter helping with the operation, rescuing a man who dropped about 20ft while rock climbing in the steep ravine area. This all happened around 1 00 this afternoon. The man was airlifted to safety and will be treated for moderate injuries at a hospital. The aquarium of the bay, for almost three decades, a fixture on San Franciscos pier 39, finds itself in a financial mess. Its driven by a scandal embroiling its now former ceo, who served for almost a decade. Ktvu tom vacar joins us now with details of the turmoil. Tom. Yeah, its interesting because i actually covered the opening of what is now the aquarium of the bay 29 years ago, and now they have this, the aquarium of the bay is in a serious transition period with a sudden departure of its ceo early last month at the aquarium, i interviewed apollo astronaut charles duke, who was there to give a talk on behalf of nasa and the berkeley innovation forum. While i was there, ceo george jacob told me of a massive transformation of the facility where everything but the aquatic tunnels would be removed and replaced by a much bigger building and at warp speed. Theyre excited about its amazing future, where we are going to transform this aquarium into a climate and Ocean Conservation living museum. The exhibit area would quadruple. We plan to execute from the date of permits in 24 months that level of, transition has never happened before. And this is going to be something to behold. But mr. Jacob, at the insistence of the board chairman, resigned over issues of unpaid bills, financial improprieties, excessive spending on travel, dining and holding overseas events to the tune of almost 750,000, as well as a transition of the aquarium that could not be afforded. There will be no proliferating. Therell be no events of any kind, until the organization is in much better shape. Not only are these the longest aquarium tunnels in the United States, they are unique because they are concentrated on bay life, and its rare that you can actually see bay life in the murky waters of San Francisco bay. The top priority for the newly appointed board chairman, the health and safety of the aquatic life, the sharks and the fish. And they deserve, our very best. And this was not it. This is a Charitable Organization for the public good. And unfortunately, i dont think the previous, plans, served and, the public good served the animals another priority. Empower employees through a whistleblower policy. The aquarium survived the recession and covid, but will it survive this . I absolutely think it has a life going forward, and i absolutely think our best days are ahead of us now in the short term. The busy Summer Season just starting will bolster its finances, but new leadership and major operational changes have to be forthcoming. We could not make contact with the former ceo tom vacar, ktvu, fox two news. All right, tom, thank you. We want to bring you some more breaking news out of antioch. Here, another fire burning near marina plaza in Contra Costa County. According to cal fire. Latest numbers five acres. Second alarm has been requested. That is, more resources now. Weve been talking to bill. Weve talked about some cooler weather out there, but there are some breezes that could be contributing to some of that wind blown flame and smoke there. We had skyfox on the way there, but theyre working to get a shot up for us now. The marina fire was the second one to break out this afternoon. There was a vegetation fire reportedly threatening structures as we showed you at the beginning of this newscast. Time lapse video here from pg and e wildfire camera burning off of slaton ranch road. We have a crew on the way for both those fires in the antioch area. We will continue to bring you any new details we get. Lets bring you back that live chopper view of this marina fire. Here you can see some of the flames burning along that hillside. We will continue to follow this as we get more details. All right. A demonstration reignited why protesters clashed with police on the ucla campus. Also at 530, an outcry from patients who rely on a centuries old medical practice. Why, they say their access to acupuncture treatment is at risk. And up next, the bay areas Real Estate Market knows no bounds how much it will cost you to own a plot of land underneath a lagoon. And we are tracking the weekend forecast. Its not far off now. Beautiful day out there today, but as greg mentioned, its a little breezy. Well talk little mor ababout dollars, but it is underwater, not in the financial sense, but literally in a lagoon. Ktvu Jana Katsuyama spoke with the current owner and is live at that site. Jana well, and greg, it was a shock to the owner when he finally saw what he had bought this property right here used to be attached to that area where the house is. But look at this. This is his land. All water in the middle of the lagoon. The new owner admits that he did not see it in person before buying, but is shocked that the county even had it up for sale. Drive along grand street in alameda and youll see a line of multimillion dollar homes. So when Alameda County put a piece of property up for auction last year, the owner who bought the land for just over 100,000, said he was excited for the opportunity to own. The reason why i do that in this area. It is not easy to purchase a property. We tried, my wife and me since 2014. We were not able to do that. The lot is nestled in a lagoon, surrounded by the alameda west lagoon Homeowners Association. But it was a shock when he and his Real Estate Agent actually saw the lot. The property at 610 grand street is in the lagoon, 10,000ft s, entirely underwater and right next to a grand street bridge that boats go under to get from one side to another. It is a, you know, an average working person and you save up 100, no, 100,000, to lose it is heartbreaking. So were trying to see what can be done. Id like to at least see him get back the money he paid. At least that at the very least, you know, that would be the right thing to do. The Real Estate Agent said she was surprised to learn the lot is actually zoned as a residential parcel. The owner has now put it up online for sale. Clearly marked as an open water lot, the new listing is 400,000, and the realtor says the owner is hoping to recoup his losses. You know why . Why, why . The Alameda County Tax Collector . Why they do that . Why . Why they say no. The thing you know why they do that. The owner who lives in san lorenzo and did not want to be identified, said he didnt visit the site before he bought because when he typed the address into a google map app, it took him to a web page with a photo of a house. Turns out it was a different location. The Real Estate Agent said she did the same thing when she tried to find this property. The owner is on the hook for property taxes on this area. About 1,000 a year. And i also reached out to the Homeowners Association to find out if he owned any fees and what to do about this right of way under the bridge. They said that they had no comment. Greg, quite the investment. Jana katsuyama live in alameda for us. Jana. Thank you. All righty. Temperatures today cooled down a couple of degrees. Very pleasant. A little breezy out there. Windier than not windier, but breezier than weve seen in the last couple of days. And as we go into tomorrow , were going to cool further. You see that temperature drop off today in santa rosa to tomorrow 74 degrees. So almost ten degrees, not quite three degrees cooler in oakland tomorrow. Livermore is down ten. So temperatures are cooling down just in time for your bay area weekend. The current temperatures show that sea breeze, certainly with the green. The oranges represent the inland heat which you were used to see in this time of year. And then theres the departure from yesterdays temperature. So a good 2 to 3 degrees cooler in many places. Santa rosa kind of takes it there with six degrees cooler than yesterday. And we talked about the breezy conditions not unusual for this time of year at all, but just breezier than it had been 16 miles an hour at napa, gusting probably to 25. Sfo got gusts up over 30 miles an hour. Thats typical as well. And then Half Moon Bay sustained at 12 miles an hour. So weve got the wind, got the breeze, and we got the return of some coastal fog. Well see more of it tomorrow morning right there. And then tomorrow afternoon you see the fog really start to push in. And thats setting up the weekend with this potential for some cooler weather, not in the 80s but in the 70s. Ill see you back here with the forecast. All right, bill, thank you.

New video shows the moments before the worlds number one golfer, Scottie Scheffler, was arrested last week in kentucky. This is schefflers car. Slowly pulling up to the gate of the valhalla golf club, around two traffic from a bus accident earlier that morning where a man had been killed. You can see Louisville Police detective brian gillis running up and hitting the window of the car. Then several minutes later, officers pull scheffler out of the car, place him under arrest and take him to jail. In Police Reports released today, detective gillis claims when he stopped the golfer and told him he couldnt go ahead, scheffler demanded to be let in and proceeded forward against my directions. I was dragged, knocked down by the driver and suffered injuries to his wrist and knees as a result. We dont see that on the video thats been released and there isnt any video from the officers body camera because he never turned it on, as Department Policy requires us, we understand the seriousness of the failure to capture this interaction, which is why our officer has received corrective action for this policy violation. Guys, guys, witnesses say scheffler, who is facing multiple charges, including Second Degree assault of a police officer, didnt do anything wrong. And his Attorney Says they have no interest in settling the case and it will either go to trial or be dismissed. All the evidence that continues to come out continues to support what scottie said all along, that this was a chaotic situation and a miscommunication, and he didnt do anything wrong. Prosecutors apparently have additional video from that morning, which they arent releasing to the public for the time being. Schefflers next court date is june 3rd, and he is expected to be there in person in chicago. Im garrett tenney, fox news. Next, at 530, protests and blockades are up once again at ucla, just hours after the ucla chancellor testified on capitol hill about antisemitism on campus. Also, Governor Newsom puts Health Care Insurance cuts on the table as a way of covering the states budget deficit, how the move would impact countless patients, and changing how you shop. The new proposed plastic bag bans after the last rule reportedly made pollution worse demonstrators this morning were holding up signs putting up plywood sheets and metal barriers. This was in the courtyard between moore and kirchhoff halls campus. Police and local Law Enforcement are monitoring that situation. Ucla chancellor gene block did testify before a Congressional Committee that public universities must uphold free speech under the first amendment, while also working to protect students from discrimination. The president s of northwestern and Rutgers University also testified. They defended their decisions to end encampments through negotiations rather than police force. Chancellor block also expressed remorse at the handling of an attack on uclas propalestinian encampment earlier in the month. With the benefit of hindsight, we should have been prepared to immediately remove the encampment if and when the safety of our community was put at risk. All of the leaders denounced the rise of antisemitism. Block, who is jewish, expressed disgust at some of the rhetoric used by protesters. Hundreds of students and faculty walked out of harvards commencement today. Free palestine, the last group leaving the ceremony in protest against the war in gaza. The demonstration comes after weeks of demonstrations on the cambridge campus. Yesterday, 13 students involved in the encampment were told they would not be allowed to walk with their classmates at graduation. New at five lawmakers in louisiana have approved a bill classifying Abortion Pills as controlled, dangerous substances. This bill is now on its way to the governor to be signed. If approved, louisiana would become the first state to classify misoprostol and mifepristone as dangerous drugs. Supporters say this would help protect expectant mothers from coerced abortions, but opponents say reclassification would make it more difficult for doctors to prescribe the drugs for purposes outside abortions, such as managing miscarriages. Patients who rely on acupuncture, and the medical experts who perform the procedure held a rally to advocate for the medical practice. Ktvu christian captain tells us they are worried the governors newest Budget Proposal will cut them off from the care they need for some 3000 years in china, acupuncture has been practiced as health care, and patients in San Francisco today still rely on the medical treatments. As it stands now, medical will pay for acupuncture, but the governors revised budget plan to account for a shortfall will pull that coverage back. Medical plans to cut acupuncture benefits after june 15, 2024. This will hurt the Aapi Community and many others. The Governors Office referred us to his announcement of the revised budget earlier this month, saying he would prefer not to make any cuts. None of this is kind of work you enjoy doing, but you got to do it. We have to be responsible. We have to be accountable. We have to balance the budget. Acupuncture supporters say the cut and coverage would only save about 5. 4 million in the next year, but would severely impact the care of those who rely on it. The director of Integrative Medicine at northeast medical Services Says many of her patients rely on acupuncture to receive culturally appropriate care. But she says the overwhelming majority of her patients rely on medical to cover that care. 90, i will say 90 were above a percentage of our patients are from medical seeking medical services. Patients such as mama chung. After i experienced two car accident and diagnosed three times of covid 19. Acupuncture helped me to feel better. Molly kelly says shes dealt with chronic pain for years and after losing her employment, relies on medical to help her receive the only treatment thats worked so far, far less pain and far less anxiety. And when i do have those symptoms, i can go in and i can access a doctor that i wouldnt be able to do. I wouldnt be able to do if i didnt have access through the state.

The good times could soon be over for ticketmaster and its parent company, live nation, the justice Department Says its time for the two to break up live nation has illegally monopolized markets across the live concert industry in the United States for far too long. On thursday, the attorney general, along with 29 states and dc, filed a landmark antitrust lawsuit against live nation, alleging the company suffocates the competition by using threats and retaliation to keep a stranglehold on the market. The government says live nation controls at least 80 of major concert venues, manages 400 artists, and controls more than 60 of concert promotions in the u. S. Live nation, ticketmaster acts as the gatekeeper for an entire industry, reaching its proverbial hands into every stage of the concert life cycle, from who promotes the shows to where they happen to how they are ticketed. The Justice Department claims that hurts artists, promoters and fans like these who have sued live nation for fraud and price fixing. I think that the Business Model that ticketmaster live nation has is not working. Its harmful to consumers. Im tired of not knowing what im paying for. Im tired of only having one choice for tickets.

The atlantic Hurricane Season is one week away, and the latest forecast says it will be an extremely aggressive few months for storms. Noaa says record warm water temperatures and the forming of a la nina pattern across the atlantic will lead to an above average Hurricane Season, making this years hurricane forecast the highest ever for noaas may outlook. Specifically theres an 85 chance of an above normal season , a 10 chance of a near normal season, and a 5 chance of a below normal season. Noaa says the forecast is cause for concern, but not panic. They urge that the time to act is now and that communities need to prepare prior to a hurricanes arrival, and sea surface temperatures have been trending high. Certainly some all time record highs in the last couple of years. And thats one of the other reasons, right along with climate change, youve got these warming the warming oceans and hurricanes love a warm ocean. So thats basically the, what do you call it . Its the linchpin. You know, if you get hot water, 79, 80, 80 degree water, youre going to get yourself the ability to have a lot of tropical activity. And thats where we are. Todays highs. There they are, pretty pleasant day. A little cooler than yesterday. And its going to be a little cooler tomorrow as temperatures dip again. And then they dont plummet, but they drop into the weekend. And thats the sort of the weather headline is. Its been sunny. The coast has been pretty nice. Little patchy fog here and there. Nice daytime highs. But now this cool area of air moves in to the bay area on saturday and into sunday. Gives us some good strong onshore winds. Brings the fog back to the coast and drops. Starts dropping temperatures tomorrow on friday saturday and a little bit into sunday. So its just a cooler air mass essentially that will give us this pattern that includes a drop in temperatures. Usually this graphs going the other way and not today. Its going south, if you will. By friday and saturday. Saturday and sunday should be about the same in terms of temperatures. The outside live picture. You can see the salesforce tower. You can see the golden gate or the bay bridge right. Its funny, i used to work over here at Charlie Browns in emeryville , and in the old days i had a window sections and the folks used to come in they go, theyd see the bay bridge and they they didnt know it was the Golden Gate Bridge. And you could see the bay bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge and they didnt know which bridge it was. And i always thought, thats funny. Thats the big gold one. Right. So a lot of people come into town. And because the bay bridge is pretty spectacular with especially with that suspension span, and it does look its a suspension span like the Golden Gate Bridge. Okay. So here are the wind conditions. Kind of breezy kind of normal for this time of year in terms of, you know, gusting to 30 at sfo, not out of the question tomorrow morning. Patchy fog and clouds tomorrow afternoon. Thats that cool air coming in. And then more cool air comes in 8 a. M. Saturday. And then it goes away as the inversion gets blown up. And then sunday looks like your nicest day on the weekend with temperatures coming up, maybe a degree or two, but overall its just going to, you know, its going to be. So today we had some low 80s. Tomorrow well have upper 70s, mid 70s and saturday and sunday well kind of hover in the mid 70s as well in the warm spots. So its just going to be one of those weekends. Itll be very pleasant, tree pollens still high, but not as bad as they were. And were going to be in a situation where the grasses and weeds are starting to come on. But i think a lot of us are. Most of us are bothered by tree pollens, just by the nature of where they sit and, in relationship to where we breathe and our noses and mouths. Heres the five day forecast. You can see the temperatures dropping down sunday comes up a couple degrees and then starts to warm up for memorial day and beyond, but not hot. All right, well take it. Thank you bill.

And this time it was the same outcome. You cant call something an emergency. One day and then suddenly kick the can down the road the next day. Its not a Border Security bill. Its an immigration bill. And it would actually codify some of the terrible decisions and policies that President Biden has enacted. And thats why all the republicans are united against it. Critics are blasting leader schumer and President Biden for pushing forward on a vote they knew would fail. Its a total political stunt. He is bleeding votes because of the failure at the border, and hes using this as a shiny object to make people think that hes really trying to get it done. But it seems democrats are trying to flip the script and say republicans are the ones not serious about the border. Im very disappointed in my republican colleagues that they are failing to heed the countrys cry for action, real action. For months, gop lawmakers have been urging President Biden to take executive action on the border, which he will reportedly do next month. In washington, rebecca castor, ktvu, fox two news.
