They we going to steal. Iteam reporter dan noyes has been digging into this incident since one of the men posted that video on reddit. Yeah, dan, you have some exclusive information. Well, ama and dan, i spoke to the two young men who feel they were profiled for no reason. They also tell me the guard flashed a sidearm and an inspectors badge from the San Francisco district attorneys office. 24 year old Nicholas Kincade and 22 year old amir ali work at a high fashion boutique near the embarcadero center. During a break, nicholas wanted to pick up some supplies from the sephora. There. We just wanted to, you know, i wanted to get a scalp scrubber for myself. We were talking about Beauty Products all day, pretty much just discussing like what we needed. They first tried the inside door. It was blocked, so they walked around to the street Side Entrance where a Security Guard told them not to enter the store. This is private property. Okay, okay. And what have i done so far . Do you want to let me know . What am i telling you . Youre going to go in and steal. How do you know that, how do you know that . Ive been around a long time. You have no answer. You have no answer at all. Ive been around a long time. I spoke to the two of them today. The first time he says, dont go in there because i know youre going to steal what goes through your mind. I know what time it is. I know whats going on. I mean, weve heard about the civilian times, so i immediately just start firing back and trying to get anything out of him to prove that he has something to stand on. Because i know my heart of hearts is absolutely nothing there, they tell me. They questioned whether the guard even worked at the embarcadero. They thought he might be a vigilante. Do you even work at this . Pardon me. Do you work at this property . Yeah. Can i see, like, Building Security . Can i see like, any documentation that you work here . I see, like, any documentation that you work here. Well, i can show you, i can show you this while its just off camera. You can see the guard lift his jacket a bit. The two shoppers say he revealed his sidearm that is visible a few seconds later when he lifts his shirt and shows me a glock, and im like, well, that doesnt really. Yeah, that doesnt really help the situation right now. I dont need to see a weapon now. I just feel threatened. Ill show you this. My id and the guard briefly showed a badge. A retired lieutenant inspector shield from the San Francisco district attorneys office. Starting there, i called Law Enforcement sources who identified the guard as 72 year old mike koppel. He worked for the Marin County Sheriffs Department and then retired from the San Francisco das office in 2007. Her staff says. District attorney Brooke Jenkins would not comment on the incident because this matter is under investigation by the special prosecutions unit of our office. The person seen in this video is not a current employee. The owner of the embarcadero complex, boston properties, emailed me that they are working with the Third Party Security partner to conduct a full investigation into the incident. In the meantime, the Security Officer has been removed from our property pending the results of the investigation. Koppel did not return my calls, texts and emails for comment. Ali and kincade tell me they went shopping in sephora anyway. Okay, so were going to go inside now because you have no reason to stop us. All right. You go in, you steal. And they came out to find an sfpd officer waiting at the door, but they just walked by and returned to work, and both tell me they never saw mike koppel before that altercation. I spoke with several people in Law Enforcement and Security Guard training, and they said what happened could be a real problem for mike koppel. Well tell you when the investigation is over and what it concludes. Dan hama well, clearly more to come here. Absolutely. Thank you. Dan, thanks. Another problem today for a United Airlines flight involving a boeing plane, a plane that left San Francisco this morning had an external panel fall off. It wasnt noticed until after the plane landed safely and early in medford, oregon. United doesnt know when the panel fell off. The pilot said they didnt even know anything was wrong. Just last week, united flight lost a tire after taking off from sfo. Another flight headed to sfo had to turn around for landing gear problems, and a plane over texas had an engine fire. An emergency room doctor from the south bay is back home tonight after more than a month helping people in gaza, doctor Mohammed Subhi flew into sfo today to a warm welcome. As you can see, the end of a five Week Medical Mission treating wounded civilians. He went from an e. R. In Mountain View to a Field Hospital in gaza. Subhi says the hospital was set up for 20 to 30 patients a day, but this week they treated nearly 1000 a day. We really worked with very scarce resources to be able to save lives, save limbs. Half of the patients that i saw were children, many of whom lost their parents, and its very hard to imagine what life looks like for them. Doctor subhi says it wasnt a hard decision to go to gaza, and he hopes to go back to help more people. New video captures the chaos as a man fired on deputies in santa rosa.

New data from San Franciscos Public Works Department shows a drop in street cleaning requests since a street vending ban went into effect along Mission Street three months ago. Abc seven News Reporter luz pena has been covering this issue from the start and is here with us with the very latest on this loose. Well, don sidewalks on Mission Street are definitely clean. Now San Franciscos Public Works Department is attributing this to the 90 day street vending ban that went into effect over three months ago, and recently, the city extended the ban for six more months. Their data shows its working. Its been over three months since street vending was banned on Mission Streets, and the first report on cleanliness is out. Were seeing that the overall request for street cleaning that comes through the 311 Customer Service center is down about 21 overall in the mission district. We saw it. Sidewalks are clean and public works inspectors along with San FranciscoPolice Officers, are patrolling the area. Seven days a week until 8 p. M. On weekdays. The city is saying their efforts are also leading to more than just clean sidewalks. Weve also seen fewer police calls that are coming through for burglaries and assaults. The city implemented this ban to tackle vendors selling stolen items on sidewalks. We ran into a vendor that goes by the name shark. He was carrying several pounds of stolen meat, selling it on foot to avoid it getting confiscated. And so do you do this often . I probably do it like ten times a day. I have to do that to feed myself. You dont want to be doing this . No, no, i just got fired from my job, though. That was the only thing i had. And i was only making 600 a month. He showed us inside his backpack. What do you have in here . Beef tongue. Its one of these will feed a family for a week, a month. So how much was this meat inside the store . 150. Susana rojas is the executive director of veinticuatro. Her group represents street vendors. She agrees streets are cleaner now, but hes asking the city to think about the vendors who are selling merchandise that was never stolen and have permits. There has been a lot of narrative out there to promote a permanent ban for our vendors, not only in the mission, but all over the San Francisco. And we stand against it. The vendors have never been the issue. One of those vendors following the rules is manuel soltero. He is inside the location on 21st and 37 Mission Street, set up by the city for them. Hows business here . Very bad. Manuel is glad. Streets are clean, but said they never contributed to the mess. He wants the city to let them sell outside while the inspectors are out. I think why they are not doing it like this. We sell and thats the space. They stay eight hours. Why not say eight hours and we sell over there. We had. We had a permit. Legal permit. And this ban is not perfect. After inspectors leave around 8 p. M, residents report seeing vendors selling what looked like stolen items on the sidewalks. Again something the Public Works Department is aware of, and said they will continue to gather more data before extending or changing their schedule. Luz pena abc seven news okay, good to know, luis.

The new restrictions would be implemented in the downtown area. Abc seven News Reporter liam melendez is here to explain the reasons for this expansion. Leon. Well, this is coming directly from the sfmta. Four of the 18 pedestrians who were killed in 2023 were hit when a driver was making a right turn on green. So they know this is a problem. But is restricting drivers from turning on red. The solution so far since 2021, San Franciscos tenderloin district has had more than 50 intersections with no turn on red restrictions. One year after it was implemented, the San FranciscoMunicipal Transportation Agency found that 92 of drivers were complying with the law. So the city thought, why not apply those restrictions in other neighborhoods . San francisco is not anticar ricardo olea is with sfmta. Heres what he told us two months ago on their expansion plans. We are in the process of expanding prohibitions on turns on red into pedestrian heavy areas such as Downtown Union square, and that that project will start this year. That plan has already started, and now theyre considering expanding the no turn on red restrictions even further to include 200 more intersections north and south of market street, pending public hearings next week. How about the rest of the city . We will see citywide, like new york city. Are we going to be new york city . No. The plan at this point is not to make San Francisco be like new york city. Were not at the point at which we say that every single intersection in San Francisco should have a no turn on red. We want to have people understand when theyre going to the tenderloin or downtown or a heavy commercial area. Oh, the reason that this sign is there is because of pedestrian safety. Traffic safety has been a huge challenge for San Francisco. Ten years ago, the city vowed to get to zero traffic deaths by 2024. And here we are. And so far this year, there have been seven traffic deaths, the last one on march 2nd, a pedestrian killed by a hit and run driver in the tenderloin. Even though the speed limit there has now been reduced to 20 miles an hour and turns on red lights are not allowed. Still, we caught a driver trying to make a left turn on red while i was crossing the street, and while we were doing that interview in january, we caught a series of violations and that person made a that person made a right turn on red. Do you see that . Yes, yes. If theres no enforcement, you can change all the rules you want to and no one will take them seriously. So we do need Traffic Enforcement and we need Traffic Enforcement of speeding, running red lights. We cruised around the tenderloin to see if police were actively stopping drivers for traffic violations. Instead, what we found were Police Searching a car for possible firearms. They have other challenges. Theyre dealing with violent crime, and were dealing with fentanyl sales and theres a lot of challenges, challenges in the tenderloin. But the officers do a great job on Traffic Enforcement to the extent that they can. How many citations have been written . Yeah, i dont have the exact number. But what i do know is that were also very grateful for the Highway Patrol that have been really good partners with us for the last year. Theyve written a lot of citations as well. Beginning last year, the california Highway Patrol agreed to assist sfpd by enforcing all traffic violations in the tenderloin and surrounding areas. And next year, the city will install 33 speeding cameras throughout the city in an effort to minimize the number of traffic deaths. And again, thats one of several tools to get to zero deaths. Now, other cities are also having this problem. Last year, pedestrian deaths reached a 40 year high across the country. And now places like chicago, l. A, denver, seattle are considering implementing no turn on red restrictions. Well in new york, im from new york. You know, youre never thinking, yeah, youre born thinking i could never make a right on red. So yeah, end of story. All right. Thanks. Thanks all right. A massive redwood tree fell on top of a house in forestville. The collapse happened about 245 today. While it was really windy. The house is on river road near scenic drive. No one was home at the time of this incident. As you can see, the house sustained major damage. Just smashed through this house, forcing the citys building inspector to red tag it and deem the structure uninhabitable, which it clearly is. Such a shame, but at least no one was home. No one was hurt. Yeah. Thank goodness. All right. Beautiful day. Still a little bit breezy. It is, but it was lovely. How long will the winds last . Meteorologist sandyha patel is here. Sandy .
