KTVU KTVU Mornings On 2 At 7am October 27, 2017

Until we get there, 78 in city. That is 10 above average. The record, 94 in 2003. The fog is shallow but making a move over the golden gate. Be careful if you are traveling there this morning. The fog filling in for most. Holding off on the santa cruz coast. That little low right there will work its way towards us over the weekend. As it does, it will lift the fog bank and cool down inland areas over the weekend. Another warm to hot day if youre inland. Around the coast and the bay, it looks a little cooler with 60s, 70s to low and mid80s. Sal, friday light or friday better than thursday. Okay. It is not light but it is better than it was yesterday. Especially in some of the key commutes, steve. 38 minutes, lets say, from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze. You say thats not great. But better than 60 minutes is what we had most of the week at this time driving through this area. Another 20 minutes before you make it on to the span from the bay bridge. San francisco itself, north and southbound 101 moderately heavy. If youre catching a flight, southbound 101 looks okay down to san bruno. 880 traffic is also slow out of hayward heading down south to fremont, which is typical. The Silicon Valley commute has slowing on 85, 280 and 101 but not that deep so you can get a little bit of an opportunity here. Were hoping since it is friday, it will stay at about this level. 7 02. Back to the desk. New this morning, a teenager is under arrest on charges of impersonating a San Leandro Police officer. The real police saying the suggest was driving it looked like an official looking car and pulled over an unsuspecting victim. Christien kafton, youre in san leandro, you have been there a couple hours, and youre getting advice on what people should do if they think they are being targeted by a fake cop. Reporter yes, dave. Very important tips. We will get to the tips on what to do in a moment. First details about this story, about how the victim says they were driving along in san leandro. Somebody pulled them over and something seemed off. That is when San Leandro Police made some very real arrests. This all started around 12 00 this morning, shortly after midnight. The victim says he was driving near b abcroft when he was pulled over by a official looking crown victoria. The victim says he heard a siren and stopped. That is when the driver got out of that crown vic and approached his car. The victim noticed that the person getting out of the car actually was wearing like a sweatshirt with a hood. And the person put the hood up over his head. The victim at this point realized this was not a Police Officer and fearing for his safety, the victim drove away. Reporter now, the victim also tells police that the suspect took off as well. That is when the victim turned the table on the suspects, following them, trying to get a license plate and provide a full video description to the real police. Alameda county deputies had spotted that vehicle and pulled it over for an unrelated Traffic Violation and the deputy put two and two together and realized it was the fake police car. The teen driver was arrested for allegedly impersonating a Police Officer. An 18yearold in the car also arrested for charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Now, police say if you suspect that youre being pulled over by a fake officer, there are steps that you can take. First of all, make sure that it is not a Police Officer. If you suspect it is not a Police Officer, i would immediately recommend that you dial 911 if you think someone is trying to pull you over who is impersonating a Police Officer. You have to be careful because if it is a Police Officer and you drive off, you know, that is against the law. Reporter now, Police Officers are saying though that you can try to drive to a well lit area if you are uncomfortable. Just try not to drive too far. One final note, officers say that the officers that we spoke with, the lieutenant says he has been on the force for 25 plus years and this is very rare. In all of thinks time on the force this has only happened five or six times. So, again, very rare. But if you do suspect that it is something off, call 911 and try to speak to a dispatcher and make sure it is a real officer that is following you. Christien, thank you. Nearby police in berkeley are searching for a man who knocked somebody down with his car during a road rage incident. On october 19th, he was driving on ashby avenue in a White Mercedes when a passenger from another car starting yelling at him saying he was driving erratically. He stopped his car and got out and punched the passenger through an open window. Then they started arguing outside of the cars. Thats when the suspect got back in his car and pulled forward, knocking the victim over. The suspect then drove away. Police say the victim did suffer minor injuries and will be okay but they want your help in finding that driver. The time is 7 06. Security will be tight today at Milpitas High School after a student brought a gun to school yesterday. When it was first reported, students and staff sheltered in place. Two other nearby schools were also put on lockdown. Now, police found the student with the gun and he turned it over to the officers. Investigators still havent said why the student had that gun. No one was hurt. But parents and students say just hearing about this was frightening. I send them to school thinking theyre safe. And next thing you know, your kid is texting you, mom, school is on lockdown. I was scared because he could have shot anyone if he was mad. Similar incidents happened at two other Bay Area Schools during this week. The schools were Village High School in pleasanton and san ramon twin creeks elementary. No one was hurt in either incident. And the father of the elementary School Student is facing charges of child endangerment. Possessing, supplying or selling a firearm is automatic suspension and expulsion for the student.

Sometimes on friday we have better commutes than the first four days of the workweek. That is the case today. Slowing at the bay bridge which is typical. If you drive here every day, just a little lighter. And the carpool lanes are looking good driving into San Francisco. And if youre driving into San Francisco, you will see that the traffic looks pretty good here as well. As the sun comes up, the headlights go off. Southbound 101 is moving along well all the way down to the pence l on the nimitz freeway, slow traffic continuing out towards hayward into union city. It is already getting a little lighter. Friday morning commute. Northbound 280, 101 and 85 are slow in san jose. And i think and were hoping this is going to be the cap on this. We dont usually have a lot of fillin on a friday. Unless something happens, it should stay about this way. 7 16. Lets bring in steve with todays weather. All right, sal. Thank you. We will take you right no the Golden Gate Bridge which couldnt find a fog bank for 14 days or so. But there it is. It is shallow because it is coming underneath the span. But its there. This is the beginning of a pattern change. It may take a while for some of you inland. But it will over the weekend. But the fog has returned. Watch out on highway 1. You can see on the span though, most of the span is fogfree. Right below it. Over time in the next couple of days it will lift and fly inland. King city, 99. The old report was 98. Stockton, 89. Modesto, 87. Those were all records on thursday. San jose may set one today. If it is hot here, it must be cold somewhere else. It sure is. Denver was down to 13. Now theyre 19. Snowing in minneapolis. 33. Chicago, 38. Omaha, 4. 37 down to Oklahoma City. St. Louis at 44. That is pretty cool. And there is the system that is responsible for it. So if it is ridge city over the west, it must be driving something down into the middle of the country and the great lakes. Thats what it is. The area of High Pressure is beginning to weaken. But it is very strong. At least fog is now returning to the coast as we get a slight on shore breeze there. Still an off shore in some of the higher elevations. 40s and 50s and 60s on the temps. A lot of 50s here, low 50s. That little guy will work its way towards the california coast. As it does, that will lift the fog bank and start the cooling process and give us a westerly breeze as we go into the next couple of days. The cooling has begun for some on the coast. One more warm day for those inland with upper 80s. Would not be surprised by another 90. By sunday and monday, the cooling trend will take shape and give everybody a break here. But a lot of upper 80s for some. 60s and 70s over by the coast. A 90 in clearlake. It will be close for vacaville. Livermore, one more day. Santa clara valley as well. Over by the coast, 60s have come back. 80s on the peninsula or upper 70s. Over the weekend, cooler weather takes us into sunday. And then a big pattern change on tap about this time next week. Gasia.

The tickets go on sale at 10 00. Another record day for stocks. This time it is the nasdaq. And it is again because of strong Quarterly Earnings reports.

The s p 500 also up this morning. Well, the cvs drugstore chain is in talks to buy aetna Health Insurance. That deal would be worth 60 billion. Cvs health is ready to pay 200 a share for aetna, which is the nations Third Largest Health Insurance company. Aetna shares jumped more than 10 on the report. Cvs processes more than 1 billion prescriptions a year. We will keep watching that deal. Amazons workforce is expanding. The company has 542,000 workers, making it the second largest private employer in the country behind walmart. This coming out in their quarterly report. Amazon added nearly 160,000 new workers last quarter. More than half of the number is the workers it added when it bought whole foods markets. Amazon also changed the way it is reporting revenue ball of the whole foods deal. For the first time it broke out how much money it is taking in from the brick and mortar schools. The deal closed at the end of august. Amazon also owns 12 bookstores, including one at san jose santana row and more than 50 popup stores around the country. To let you know, amazon reports 1. 3 billion in physical store sales but 26 and a half billion because of online sales. We have seen dynamic pricing for sporting events and uber. Now the Film Industry is looking into that as well. Regal cinemas operates one of the largest movie chains in the country. In select markets, it will experiment with charging more for the more popular films during peak times of the day. Ticket prices will be lowered for less popular films during offpeak hours. If the idea catches on, expect other theaters to follow. We have talked about movie theaters being empty. Sometimes we dont eagain to the theaters. You go in there and there are on ten people.
