Valley and i guess they circled around. It has remained a very peaceful demonstration. People trying to be very responsible, Wearing Masks. This march, if you can believe it, was organized by two very young people. They told me they were inspired by what they saw in oakland, another march earlier this week which was also organized by two young adults. They were inspired. They called them. They put it on instagram, and this is how this works. A lot of people i mentioned that i had not seen in San Francisco in a long time participating in this march. So far its peaceful. I just wanted to also share an experience that i had. I had to at one point during this demonstration move my car, which was right in the middle of the part where a lot of the demonstrators were gathered. And i politely ask groups of people can you just move so i can move my car . And they did. They were very organized. They said this lady has to move, and they just about 150 people moved so that i could get my car out of that situation. So thats the kind of people, the crowds that were seeing right now. But, again, remember, there is an 8 00 curfew still in effect in San Francisco. So well see how that goes, if theyre still going to be out here. But so far very peace 68, a lot of different people here in the Mission District. Im live, lyanne melendez, abc7 news. Lyanne, thank you. What a great story you shared. It gives you a sense of the folks that are there today and why they are there, to peacefully make their feelings known. As you look live from sky 7 hd in the area of Mission High School and down valencia, just a huge number of people, estimated at about 8,000 people. Very peaceful. And the sense in the crowd is this is very much a communal gathering, children, different groups of people, different ages. So thus far quite peaceful. And certainly very emotional and powerful to see so many people turn out. Thanks, lyanne. Lets move on the breaking news. A fire burning in suisun city is threatening homes. This has spread quickly. Now multiple agencies responding, including contra costa fire, crockett, el cerrito, and rodeo hercules. Evacuations are affecting elmwood and maple streets, and according to suisun city police, that is the area theyre focusing on. Crystal middle school is being used as an evacuation site. Flames gutted at least five homes and damaged seven others. Now of course its incredibly hot out there in that part of the bay area today, and that is only making it more difficult for firefighters, and of course making it even more difficult to fight. Lets get to Spencer Christian who is tracking the weather conditions. Spencer . Okay, ama. Weather conditions are certainly not helping contain this fire. It is hot. As dan mentioned, it is hot. The entire region over 100 degrees, and even right now its 100 degrees in suisun city. Relative humidity is fairly low. Not dangerously low, but low. 43 . And the wind, the steady wind, the sustained wind is generally under 10 miles per hour. But there have been gusts above 10 miles per hour. Breezy but not very windy. Once again, even with relatively light wind and humidity being where it is, its still not the conditions that firefighters were hope for. Because it is so intensely hot. And probably wont cool down for the next couple of hours. Dan and ama . All right, spencer, thank you. Well, take a look at these pictures tweeted by medic ambulance of the scene. They are helping with the evacuations. The fire is putting up just a big plume of smoke as you see in this photo in the video that we shared with you.

Hayward does have a curfew set between 8 00 p. M. And 5 00 a. M. It comes after several incidents of vandalism and looting. That followed peaceful protests last week. In many cities, tear gas has been deployed during protests. Now there are calls for police to stop using the gas as a crowd control measure, especially during a pandemic. Abc7 News ReporterLaura Anthony has the story. From walnut creek to the south bay and in oakland, police have deployed tear gas to disperse large crowds. But now some city leaders and doctors are urging to stop in the interests of public health. In oakland, three City Council Members sent a letter to the mayor, police chief, and city administrator. Quote, were writing to urge you to immediately halt use of tear gas for crowd control during the covid19 pandemic. The last thing we want to do is exacerbate that. Weve been getting complaints about tear gas getting into the homes of seniors who then cant breathe, hitting people who had nothing to do with doing anything wrong. Oakland isnt the only city police force used tear gas to disperse protesters. It happened right in this intersection earlier this week. The widespread use of tear gas recently in the bay area and beyond has prompted some doctors to express concerns about potential harm to a community trying to fight off the coronavirus. Using tear gas now in the middle of a respiratory epidemic is antithetical to good public policy. The protesters, their eyes will be watering. They will be coughing and sneezing. Their whole respiratory system is irritated, and they will just be spewing their respiratory droplets around everyone northeastern, which in this case is going to be a lot of people. Top officials in oakland told abc7 news they are reviewing the request to cease the use of tear gas, but at this point they have no comment. Laura anthony, abc7 news.

Imagine owning a business just trying to stay afloat in a neighborhood turned semi ghost town. Its really weird. Its eerie. Angela grant owns an english tea house. She would normally see 60 customers at noon. But not with the barricade and the protests. Its a real eyeopener that were kind of going backwards, were not going forward. Santa rosa police chief reynard navarro saw no other option and has continuing concerns. Weve heard from other agencies that they anticipate protests in those areas. Which explains boarded windows in healdsburg a few miles to the north. Theyre expecting a protest here tomorrow night at 6 00 p. M. Details unknown. Theyre not all that worried. And yet.

Today chief Shawny Williams said that Sean Monterrosa was on his knees and officers saw what they thought was a gun in his sweatshirt. It turned out toby a hammer. Melanie woodrow was at the news conference, asking the tough questions. Sean monterrosa was on his knees outside this walgreens when a vallejo Police Officer fired at him five times through his vehicles windshield. One of the shots hit and killed the 22yearold, who they believed was armed. The Fatal Shooting came after a night of multiple calls for looting, including to the walgreens. Shawny williams said it appeared monterrosa was going get into a getaway vehicle before changing his mind. This individual appeared to be running toward the black sedan, but suddenly stopped, taking a kneeling position and placing his hands above his waist, revealing what appeared to be the butt of a handgun. Investigations later revealed that the weapon was a long 15inch hammer tucked into the pocket of his sweatshirt. Chief williams says the officer who shot monterrosa is an 18year veteran.
