3 30 at thornton and wagner heights road. Several people in the suspect vehicle needed medical attention and there is word of one t fatality. We will have a live report from alan as soon as we can. We are joined on the phone by sandy, who lives in stockton not far from where all of this is happening. What did you see and hear this afternoon . Caller good afternoon. I saw nothing than the lowflying helicopters over head. I was speaking to the Tree Trimmers in our yard and at that point the sirens were almost deafening loud. We live approximately three blocks from the hammer lane corridor, which they seem to be traveling on. And within ten seconds i could hear rapid fire and the Tree Trimmers told me to run inside quickly. You heard a lot of gunshots. Did you at any point fear for your own safety . Caller no, i did not. What do you know about the situation . Police officer are keeping residents in the home and been told to stay back . We have not been notified by any police situation, nothing. Okay. Well, sandy, thank you for your time and we appreciate you talking taos and giving us insight to what you were hearing when it all began. Our report continues on twitter. Moments ago president obama announced a new hardhitting sanctions against russia to end the insurgency in ukraine. It targets energy farms and Financial Institutions as well as Russian Companies that make weapons. The president talked about iran saying there was more work to do on talks, and the president a touched on afghanistan saying the country is poised to have the first democratic transfer of power after recent elections. Coming up at 4 30, we will hear what the president had to say about the escalating violence between israel and hamas. And an Orange County judge ruled on a petition who was sentenced to die nearly two deck aeutsdz ago. This ruling follows a similar one in 2006 saying the injectio injections. Judges are recognizing its beyond repair. It is dysfunctional . It probably is. But to shut down the system rather than fix it is ludicrous. California has 747 people on death row right now. At least two cars are damaged in walnut creek after a large tree fell on them. This is the view from sky 7 hd, and two cars are under the branches. This is an office park. No word on what brought down the tree, but the wind was blowing 15 Miles Per Hour at the time the call for help came in, which was about 3 00. And the highpriced call girl charged in the death man. Katie marzullo was in court today. Tickleman wore almost no makeup compared to last weeks dark eyeliner and dark lipstick, and she was pleading not guilty to all charges, and she spoke only to answer the judges questions about her rights. Her parents were in court but left without comment. One of her attorneys had plenty to say in defense of the alleged call girl, first and foremost that she did not intend to kill the ghooogle executive. She had a motive, if any, to elongate and not end the relationship. Tickleman was a prostitute and hired by hayes and the two were on his yacht when she gave him a fatal dose of heroin and watched him die. They were consenting adults in drug use and she is thought to blame of what happened is an argument. She is like a wounded bird. She is not as bad as the media made her out to be. She is a sensitive kid with an addiction problem. There is surveillance from the yacht, and both attorneys have seen it but wont talk about it. And the judge denied a request to reduce the bail, so it stays at 1. 5 million. And the lease extension is to be discussed tonight. Its still has to be ratified by the Oakland City Council and the alameda board of supervisors. If the deal is not approved the baseball commissioner, bud seal kwraeg, said the as could leave oakland immediately. Coming up we will take a deal at the deal and why not everybody is behind it. In San Jose Police are looking for a group of people responsible for attacking a man on a park trail on monday. The man was walking with a Family Member after midnight on Guadalupe River park trail when this happened. Somebody hit the man with a sharp weapon and suffered lifethreatening injures. And then a specialized hose leaked hot oil and ignited, and it start about 2 00 a. M. And was out by 3 00, and chevron says the hose failed. The company says it doesnt know why the hose failed. Chevron and the Fire Department says the fire was minor and there was no threat to the public, however many people lost truck in the company after a fire in 2012. Critics say this may have been preventible. These are not accidents. These are predictable incidents that occurs when management fails to maintain the refinery at the highest conditions of safety. And this comes as the company is trying to get the city of richmond to approve plans for a major remodernization at the factory. We saw drizzle two days in a row, and this was just before sunrise today. Spencer christian joins us. Every drop counts. Yeah, we may see a few more drops overnight tonight, and not a lot, but, again, every drop counts. This is a general weather picture. Some high clouds and mediumlevel clouds and low hrou clouds near the coast. Meanwhile over in the sierra, we had an outbreak of powerful thunderstorms once again today and they continue to rumble right now, around 1000 lightning strikes so far and they are concerned about lightning strikes sparking fire and producing and the storms producing flash flooding, i should say, so a Flash Flood Watch is in effect for much of the central sierra and points north world into parts of western nevada until 9 00 this evening, as the storms continue to rumble and produce heavy downpours. Back to the feeling of less humidity. Due points are several degrees lower than this time yesterday, so the area does feel less humid. Here is a look from our emeriville camera. 67 degrees in San Francisco right now. We have mid to upper 70s in san jose, and another live view of the Golden Gate Bridge showing traffic moving nicely with temperatures in the 70s in fairfield and conqucorncord. Police continue to look for this woman. She is shown on the store video trying to by a beer, and then moments later the woman asked for bus money and twisted the girls arm and stole her money bag. Then she took off. The woman is africanamerican between 40 and 50 years old. Closing arguments wrapped up today in the trial over access to a popular beach. The property manager closed the only access road to the beach, and a coalition of surfers cited the California Coastal act which makes the entire coastline public property. Experts say they expect it will take the judge several wakes ee make a ruling in this case. The 49ers will cut the ribbon on levi stadium. The ceremony is not open to fans, but we will be there to bring you live reports and behind the box office looks.

The robbery and highspeed chase in stockton, and police are telling us there were at least two suspects in the car and they are not telling us anything about them, and there were two hostages in the car, and one hostage taken to the hospital and the second hostage was released after the chase and was not injured. Alan wang is headed that way and our live report continued on twitter abc7newsbayarea. And then 28 of the 168 people on board were hurt and 20 of the people were taken to the hospital with two suffering serious injured. If a jet did this with passengers on board a lot of people would be reaching for the airsickness bag. Boeing released this video of its dreamliner at an air show in england. It proved that midair acrobatics are not just for little planes. It did a touch and go and then climbing again rapidly, a move that wowed spectators at the show. The first list of used vehicles recommended at safe for teen drivers. The list includes vehicles under 20,000 which includes good crash protection and safety features. Experts say injuryrisks can be reduced by the type of vehicle they drive and price shouldnt be the sole determining factor. We realize parents are working within a budget, but we are hoping they will consider safety, and they will think about the high crash risk that teens have and buy the most safety in a vehicle that their budget will afford. The institute recommends teens stay away with vehicles with high horsepower engines. They say electronic stability control is a must and helps drivers maintain control around curbs and slippery roads, and finally pick vehicles with the best safety ratings possible, and among the best recommended cars are listed. And then a 500 fine for residents that waste water. And viewers are sending us here documenting water violations. Tiffany has the story. Reporter city Officials Say the parks and rec departments have old irrigation pipes can lead to runoff water. Runoff water means a day of water for the birds. I have to sit on something not to get wet. That doesnt make sense since california is experiencing the worst drought in decades. They are documenting violations like the park puddles. San francisco workers were spraying down sidewalks. Its activity that looks deserving of the new 500 fines. Not so says tyrone with the Public Utilities commission. We have been getting the pictures for months. To be clear the work being done by public works is for Public Health reasons and its being done with recycled water. It saves 9000 gallons of redrinkable water a day. It tells us people are taking the drought seriously, which is what we want people to do. Not everybody feels comfortable reporting an issue. What do you think about reporting on your neighbors for using too much water. If you dont have anything else to do i suppose you can do that. But david pruitt feels its a responsibility and a right. I still see people washing their cars. You can call 311 to report a violation. If you see what you might be a case of water wasting, you can send us a picture and we will check it out. Share your photos by emailing us. While i was about the tphau teses tea. That was lady gaga asking people to save water. She was learning about hour drought while shooting a video.

Lets check with our forecaster. Any applause for what you have . I dont think so. I will applaud when something stunning happens. We are moving to a less humid pattern and thats good news. We have clouds around the bay area which will increase overnight and we might get a coastal drizzle and thunderstorms continue to rumble over the central sierra, and Ocean Temperatures are rising a bit, milder coastal ocean waters may contribute to our greater possibility of some drizzle along the coast. And our camera shows clouds hovering over San Francisco right now. Spotty drizzle is likely overnight, and cooler and less humid tomorrow than the pattern of late and a warmer pattern begins on friday. The satellite image shows we are continuing to get the monsoonal flow in the last couple days but the moisture temperature is easing up. And then during the overnight hours, we will see clouds increase and spotty drizzle is likely near the coast but not confined to the coast and by 5 00 tomorrow morning we will be looking at mainly sunny skies inland and hazy sunshine, and clouds lingering at the coast, and tomorrow tomorrow morning . Tomorrow afternoon, it will be less humid than today, and even at 5 00 tomorrow morning you will see sunny skies in the inland areas, and just breaking through. Overnight, look for low clouds, fog, mild conditions once again, and perhaps a degree or two cooler than last nights lows, and we are looking at mainly upper 50s to low 60s overnight, and then tomorrow afternoon again in the south bay, and hazy sunshine, and high temperatures ranging from mid70s to upper 70s and 81 degrees at los gatos. And then 75 at redwood city, and mountain view, and low 60s along the coast, and downtown San Francisco, a high of 65 tomorrow, and up in the north bay mainly mid to upper 70s, not a warm day there, but a pleasant one. 75, santa rosa. East bay high, 69. And the inland east bay we will see highs only in the upper 70s to just above 80. Here is the accuweather 7day forecast. We will warm up on friday to mid80s, and mid70s around the bay, and for the next several days after that, temperatures will be in a steady pattern of mid to upper 80s inland, and with no significant warmup after that until wednesday of next week. A nice and steady pattern is coming our way, and i have got something to applaud. Thank you, spencer.

And hundreds are dead in the on going conflict betweenish and hamas. Today president obama said the u. S. Will use all of its diplomatic resources to get a ceasefire. The people dont want to live like this. Thats why we are going to continue to encourage diplomatic efforts to restore the ceasefire and we support egypts continued efforts to bring this about. The president also stressed the need to protect civilians and avoid further escalation. Reporter day nine and a ceasefire between israel and hamas seems more unlikely. Hamas kept up the rocket attacks and firing dozens into israel today, and israel launch its own attacks after netanyahu vowed it would make hamas pay for not agreeing to a ceasefire. A first israeli strike killed one boy as the others fled across the beach, and a second strike killed three more. Funerals were held for victims of the violence, and palestinian Officials Say more than 1,400 people have been wounded in just over a week. Today hamas said it will continue its attacks on israel until a ceasefire deal meets its demands, and those include easing border closures and a release of hamas prisoners. The israel Prime Minister said the longterm goal will be a demilitarized gaza.
