Markers, doing all the things that they do unfortunately when Something Like this unfolds. We did hear from a witness, a man who lives just a few yards from where the shooting took place. His name is bob mckeon. It was like bap bap bap bap bap and pause and bap bap bap bap bap. Id say probably ten shots. We have no suspects at this time, but were investigating as we speak. Do you know if the suspect or suspects fled into the neighborhood . We do not have that information right now. As i said, we are investigating it, and well follow up on all the leads. And just within the past half hour, a heartbreaking scene out here. Were showing some video down the street when it appeared that family members of one of the victims showed up here at the scene. They are all gathered down at the other end of the street where police have given them at least a few details. As for the search for the suspect, police tell me at this point, they dont know yet whether the suspects were in a vehicle or whether this unfolded with them on foot, either one or several suspects still not sure. They do say, though, that there is no immediate danger in this area. They do believe that the suspect or suspects has left the area. They are going door to door, though, trying to gather more information. Live in richmond, Laura Anthony, abc7 news. Lives torn apart for those families. Thank you, laura.

We are learning new details about the woman police say ran over two pedestrians at Rancho San Antonio open space preserve near cupertino this week. Officials say she also struck a deputys car, and that she is now charged with murder. Abc7 News Reporter chris nguyen has the latest. Reporter tonight investigators with the Santa Clara CountySheriffs Office describe a terrifying ordeal on a popular trail. This does appear to be an intentional act. Not an accident. Reporter prosecutors believe 50yearold mireya orta is responsible for a deadly rampage at the Rancho San Antonio open space preserve near cupertino tuesday afternoon. Authorities say orta rammed her audi sedan into two men in separate areas of the park, killing one of them. Orta has now been charged with murder with the use of a Deadly Weapon as well as premeditated attempted murder and resisting an officer. One of our responding deputies happened to catch her right as she was about to exit, at which point she made a uturn, and she rachled one of the other deputies that was following. According to court documents, Officials Say orta got on to the Permanente Creek trail where she hit a man with her car, intentionally reversed and drove back and forth over his body multiple times as seen by a witness and a park ranger. Investigators say orta fled the initial scene and later tried to hit another man walking on the trail. He dove to the ground to avoid getting hit and then took cover behind an oak tree. Sky 7 was overhead as the Sheriffs Office launched its investigation. That park is frequented by a lot of families, children, hikers. So just really be aware of your surroundings and be safe.

For now she remains at the county jail, where she is being held without bail. Were in san jose tonight. Im chris nguyen, abc7 news. Chris, thank you. Now to the race for 2020. Former Vice President joe biden is in the bay area today for three private fundraisers. This as President Trump called on china to investigate bidens son. Abc7 News Reporter liz kreutz is in palo alto with more on bidens visit. Liz . Good evening, ama. Were outside evia right now, the upscale greek restaurant where biden held his first fundraiser of the day. He did not talk about the president s comments inside this event. We asked him about it after. He sort of brushed it off, as youll see, we also wanted to ask him about his strategy here in the bay area. We know he has held a number of private fundraisers now, but he has yet to hold a Public Campaign event. As he left a fundraiser in palo alto, former Vice President joe biden kept his comments short and to the point. I dont listen much to what the president has to say. Thats how the democratic candidate responded to questions about the impeachment inquiry into President Trump. China should start an investigation into the bide dense. And the president s new request to china to investigate his son. Bidens donors back him up. Im here today to make sure that everybody who comes in that door understands how fortunate we are to have a guy like joe biden. Joe biden and his son walking away with millions of dollars from ukraine. Theyre going after his other son and his this and that is outrageous. Outrageous. Biden is in town to raise money. He has no Public Campaign events. In fact, since his campaign launched, he hadnt had any Public Campaign events in the bay area, this despite a new poll from the Public Policy institute of california that says in california, biden is in a virtual threeway tie alongside Elizabeth Warren and bernie sanders. We asked jeremy white, a political reporter at politico about why this might be. According to that poll, Elizabeth Warren enjoys the strongest support in the bay area, and joe biden is strongest in the l. A. Area. I think focusing on areas of geographic strength is certainly a strategy some campaigns could be pursuing. If its a strategy, its one david reiderman, who attended bidens fundraiser hopes candidates avoid. I hope the Democratic Candidates dont treat Northern California as just one big atm machine. And take a look at this. Bidens Third Quarter fundraising numbers just came out while he was at this fundraiser. You can see him here. He raised 15. 2 million. Thats 10 million less than bernie sanders. 4 million less than pete buttigieg. So despite these big fundraisers, it does seem on the money front he is somewhat lagging behind. As for the rest of his time in the bay area, in addition to this fundraiser, he has two more fundraisers in San Francisco, including one that was at the home of senator dianne feinstein. Live in palo alto, liz kreutz, abc7 news. Thank you, liz. Bernie sanders may be off the campaign trail, but his emergency heart surgery this week wont be keeping him off the debate stage. Today a Campaign Spokesperson announced sanders will attend the next democratic president ial debate on october 15th in ohio. San franciscos hardly strictly Bluegrass Festival starts tomorrow, and for the first time it will have a fenced perimeter. Thats just one of several security changes being made following the gilroy garlic festival shooting. Lyanne melendez is live to explain what to expect if youre attending. Lyanne . Well, what else can i say but it is a sign of our times. You know, according to abc news, there have been 21 deadly Mass Shootings so far this year, 2019. So the organizers here want to let everybody know that they want to keep them safe and they want you to have fun. The hardly strictly Bluegrass Festival is known for being a free and noncommercial event. Not much has changed since it kicked off in 2001. This year, though, the festival found itself having to the realities of the world around us. Mick helman is the son of the festivals founder. On the security stuff, the world is as it is. We take it as which find it, not as we wish it were. We want people to come here and be safe while theyre having a good time. People will have to come through one of the four entrances to go through a security check. Today crews were filling up safety water barriers, removable hydraulic plates were also brought in for added protection. There are several emergency exits throughout the park. Heres what you need to know please dont bring coolers. We want people to bring your goods in a clear plastic backpack or a clear plastic bag so people can see what you got. The alleged shooter at the garlic festival bypassed security by cutting through a fence. At hardly strictly, there will be not one, not two, but three fences. Park rangers, police and private security will be patrolling in between those lanes of fences. Today mounted police surveyed the area. The chief said this is the new normal. So our response is we have upped our deployment. We definitely you saw in outside lands, we had our tactical officers out there in full tactical gear. We want peoplet wethe. The same kind of security will be present during fleet week the following weekend. Its additional patrols. Its protection of the water, both from for during the parade of ships and during the blue angels air show.

New at 6 00, a breathalyzer type test not for alcohol, but for opioids. Its been developed at uc davis. Researchers tried out the test on patients who were taking opioids like morphine and oxycontin. Researchers still need to try it on a larger group of subjects. A breath test for opioids would be an easier and faster alternative to a blood test. The nation is in an Opioid Epidemic with 130 americans dying every day from an opioid overdose. Well, its hard to call this anything but disgusting, what youre about to see. Hundreds of old tires dumped in southern mendocino county, and in the most sensitive environments too. Wayne freedman has more just south of hopland. Old tires worn and spent, stacked like dark tomb stones. But this isnt a garbage dump. Its the Russian River watershed in southern mendocino county, where most drivers heed signs, but clearly not all of them. Its just a shock. Its trash. Its filth. Reporter chris and chris are stewards of the local environment. In the last month they have found multiple dump sites and hundreds of tires. But these things are toxic. They break down. Theyre made out of petroleum products. And rubber is not friendly to water. The mystery of course who is who dumped these tires. Where did they come from . There may be clues. These stickers. Every tire has a serial number tied to a warranty and is in someones computer. It seems really toes find out what shop they came from. While the mendocino Sheriffs Office continues to investigate, it has been difficult for chris to stand idly by, especially when cleaning up such messes is part of his dna. He and his packout green team have already hauled some 200 tires from another location, but with so many more every time one of these shredded up tires wanders down river, kids, people, fish, theyre going to cut themselves. Steel belts are very sharp. So true. Just downstream, Miguel Elliott avoided a couple of tires this afternoon. Thoughtless, careless, disrespectful. Paradise not yet lost, but certainly tossed. From mendocino county, wayne freedman, abc7 news. The fight over phones. What really motives people to put them down . In august, we told you about san mateo high school, which banned cell phones for the entire day, making students put their devices into lockable pouchs. Its the largest Public School to make such a move. Thousands of viewers shared our story, and many educators talked about their frustration with cell phone use in classes. Now one school in San Francisco is trying a different method, using rewards instead of bans. Abc7 News Reporter kris reyes found out how it works. Its called pocket point, and its one of the many ways teachers are trying to get their students off their phones. Since it launched in 2014, 20,000 schools and two Million Students are using it across the country. Here is how it works. You sign up. A timer logs how long youve been off your phone. You earn points for every minute logged. Those points lead to rewards. We talked to one teacher in San Francisco who says its worked wonders for her class. 2,613 hours off of their phone. We have a total of 74 students and 54 incentives have been completed. And thats just after one month of use. As for the rewards, here are some student favorites. Homework pass, because i dont get to do my homework for one day. Grade dropped, because thats really nice. What happens if you have a bad grade. Banning orally. Ing cell phone use in classrooms has been a hot topic with educates across the country. This fall san mateo became the largest Public School to do an allday ban, forcing students to lock their phones in pouchs. A Common Sense Media study shows teens spend about seven hours of screen time a day. I think foreme as an english teacher, i feel like with social media and all these other things that you can get on your phone, its actually decreased literacy. Anyone can set rewards, not just teachers. The founders of pocket points work with local businesses for other incentives, including coupons and discounts. We wanted to make something that students could really get on board with and really enjoy it. So we went with the carrot versus the stick. So you can utilize your ogolor them in a space where they can learn. They gave more of a competition to being, and it made it more entertaining to not be on your phone. Kris reyes, abc7 news. Its a challenge. Adults too. Were guilty too. Lets look ahead to our weather, because getting close to the weekend. Really close. Spencer christian is here with really nice looking october forecast. And it is a nice look, as we look ahead. Here is live doppler 7. Not a bad look right now, in fact. Clear skies all across the bay area as the sun prepares to set.
