When he asked why he was being let go, he claims he was told that, quote, he doesnt understand luxury. His lawyer says that seems to be another example of Racial Discrimination by the company. Given the code that they have for a black customer coming into the store, it doesnt take much of a logical leap to assume that you havent lived the luxury life is code for we dont want an African American employee.

And we would not receive the same amount of sun between march and october which is our peak season. It gets cold early, especially in the winter. I think not having any sunlight would definitely affect that. The City Planning Department has not commented on the issue. The owners of the restaurant filed a discretionary review hearing. They filed for one on the project. It will be held on january 12th at city hall. Business owners in downtown san rafael are seeing fewer panned handlers because of a project there.

Theres a truck that crashed into a tree on 680 closer to the center of the bay area in the wall net creek area. A stretch of 280 down in the south bay in san jose is back open after a wrongway driver crash. It happened on the southbound lanes near bird avenue. Three cars were involved in the crash. Investigators say as of right now, theyre not quite sure which of the vehicles were going northbound in the southbound lanes. One driver suffered serious to critical injuries. Her passenger was not hurt. The chp says the collision could have been much worse. To survive this kind of crash is amazing. I am going to assume that they had seat belts on and air bags deployed. The driver of the second car was taken to the hospital. While the third driver refused treatment. The collision caused an airily morning backup even though traffic has been light due to the holiday week. A search is under way for two attempted burglar suspects in the east bay. Part of a group suspected of ramming into a police car that led into a chase into the city of oakland. Christien kafton is joining us live this morning. So far one person is in custody. Reporter yeah, mike. We had a chance to talk to police about an hour ago. They do have one suspect in custody, a 20yearold man out of oakland. We will have more details about him in a moment. First let me show you some of the damage at the motor sports store. The window is completely bashed in here. From what we understand, the suspects used a sledge hammer to try to bash this window open. We have a manager here at the east bay motor sports who says it took them about ten minutes of repeated bashing to get to try to get access to the motorcycles. That the suspects would then duck back into a uhaul whenever the cars would pass. Now, they were spotted by a witness and police alerted were alerted by an alarm as well. Well. When that happened, the first officers who arrived on scene, the suspects tried to ram them in that uhaul. None of the officers were hurt. But that led to a highspeed chase through hayward on to the freeway and into oakland. We were on scene this morning in oakland as police searched through the west oakland neighborhood looking for the two suspects. The one person in custody was the driver of the stolen u haul. The remaining suspect, the driver, was arrested and he was booked here at hayward. Hes a 20yearold male from oakland and charges include assault with a Deadly Weapon on a police officer, burglary, leading officers on a high speed chase. The box truck was stolen. Reporter now, remember they are still looking for two suspects in this case. At least two suspects. One of the managers that i spoke with earlier say there may have been as many as four suspects that need to be captured. You can see they have the bubbles here that have the surveillance cameras. As far as we understand, they have Surveillance Video of the suspects trying to bash these windows in. They have turned that video over to detectives from hayward. Again, still looking for two, possibly three suspects in this case. Mike. Thank you. One of the men accused of a deadly stabbing inside a target store in hayward on Christmas Eve is due in court this morning. Frankie is scheduled to be arraigned at 9 00. Police say he and 25yearold jessie were arrested shortly after the stabbing of Tyrone Griffin at the target on whipple. They came across two men playing loud music. He thought the lyrics were inappropriate for his young son to hear. The three got into an argument and one of the men pulled out a knife and stabbed griffin right in front of his son. Daddy died trying to protect you. Daddy tried died trying to be a hero. I dont want his death to be in vain. And it is unfortunate that will be the last time that he will be able to protect his son. Today prosecutors are expected to decide whether the suspects will be charged with murder. At least for the time being, San FranciscoPolice Officers must follow the departments new use of force policy.
