Right now, and abc7 news reporter, amy hollyfield, is out there live on the scene to let us know what is happening out there. Amy . Reporter hi, good morning, jessica. Yeah, we can hear the officers making announcements on their loud speaker, telling the man and woman inside this home who are barricaded inside they need to come to the front door with their hands up and they need to surrender, and they made the announcement several times. We have seen no movement here. The Sheriffs Department has evacuated the homes next to the house here in question. This is on nottingham drive in elsa braun tay. They also told the other residents to shelter in place and pushed us back to the end of the block, so we are a ways back at archery way. They say it started with two neighbors got into an argument and one neighbor started shooting, and he hit a car with some of the bullets but no people, everybody is okay. He went inside and he is now refusing to come out. As of right now they say they do not have any communication with him. He is not communicating with the officers who are trying to get him to come out. Reporting live, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. Appreciate the details. Thank you, amy. Lets get over to meteorologist, mike nicco, to look at the warmup. Hi, mike. A few low clouds around Half Moon Bay and tuesday cordero, otherwise its clear. High pressure is taking control. Were kind of chilly this morning. Our cool this morning with mid40s to low 50s at 7 00. And 71 to 74 for our bay and inland neighborhoods. 58 at the coast at 4 00. And a 55 to 73degree spread as you head through a delightful evening, and maybe you can have dinner out on the back porch. If we are going to do that, we have to do that at 4 fou4 00, so we can go to bed. Nice and light so far this morning, and no metering lights yet. Heres a check of drive times. And San Francisco to sfo in the green at just nine minutes. One new issue for the Altamont Pass but its the counter commute, so east bay 580 and i will show you that in less than ten. Deputy attorney general is going to brief the senate about trumps firing of former fbi director, james comey. Yesterday he appointed former fbi on gma this morning, chief legal analysts, dan abrams showed what was ahead for mueller. You have to show intent. The goal was to impede the investigation, and attempt to influence the investigation, and they are not just looking at the com comey memos. Mueller has to come up with a team and budget. Trump gave this statement. Not one person we spoke with on or off camera could say anything negative about him. Lillian kim has a closer look. I think its great. By temperament and integrity and background and experience, and by commitment, nobody better than bob mueller. He was his boss when he was head of the u. S. Attorneys office in San Francisco. Mueller himself eventually came the top lawyer in the city before moving on to the highest ranks in the department of justice where he was director of the fbi. I have total confidence in his integrity and his ability to get to the bottom of this. And he was the assistant independent counsel in charge of the oliver north trial and says muellers job will not be easy. Getting documents hostile power is difficult, and he will need to follow the money and do all kinds of things and it could take a while. He has the authority to create his own staff, and is not subject to daytoday supervision, and the Deputy Attorney general has the power to question muellers practices and fire him. If he disagrees with those decisions, he has some Oversight Authority but has to report to congress if he disagree wz any of those decisions, so there will be great transparency. Two more major reports came out last night, and according to the New York Times the trump team new flynn was under investigation before he was hired at the white house, and the Washington Post reports mccarthy told fellow republicans last year, quote, i think putin pays trump. Theres a recording, and mccarthy says he was just joking. Our story continues now on our abc news app, and be sure to download it for free to get breaking news updates and enable push alerts.

Its a bumpy ride in oakland and the Mayors Office is calling on residents to help them get rid of the potholes on the city streets. People are asked to snap a picture when you see a pothole and report it. Download the c click fix app to report. The city plans to fill potholes within four weeks. International boulevard is horrible. Foothill boulevard is horrible. And then you have side streets throughout, and i cant even name all of them. It seems like they are getting worse, too. There is more potholes that popped up especially after the rain. More paving may come in the fall as the city gets permission to use the bond money. And then the board of supervisors finally reached a compromise on how much Affordable Housing to require in new market rate developments.

We did have one issue, east bay 580 as you travel towards the tracy issue. We had somebody that fell asleep at the wheel and went up an embankment and came back down and hit the center divide, however sounds like everybody is okay and off to the shoulder.

You know, they say its 5 00 somewhere, and i dont think they mean 5 15 in the morning, but lets talk about happy hour anyways. Somebody decided they needed onon demand alcohol.

Amazon announced that prime members in Southern California can order, beer, wine and other certain lickers, and can you pay 7. 99 and get it within an hour, and if its a hit i am sure we will see it in the bay area not too long from now.

I gave you the all clear just a few minutes ago on east bay 580 and we have a new problem in the same location, and maybe seeing a tiny red filling in east bay 580 before grant line road, and so theres a second crash in the left lane and fire and ambulance on the way to the scene so it sounds more serious, and then the typical delays, westbound into tracy this morning. If you are coming from the east bay, we have one crash blocking one lane. We will keep an eye on that. Overall things are good. Neck traffic update coming up just before 6 30. Air quality Officials Say the chevron refinery is to blame for the rotten egg smell. A flaring incident led to the foul order. They charged chevron with four violations. Chevron denies it was responsible. Given the 11mile distance and the wide gee august reof the odor complaints we believe its unlikely the flaring was the source of the odors. And many children and pregnant mothers may have to be retested for lead. The test may have given false low readings. You are looking at Company Video right here. They are used in most offices.

Did you tell the fbi director to stand down on the investigation into mike flynn . Now the stakes even higher. The department of justice just named a special counsel in the russian investigation. The latest crisis is setting up what could be a washington showdown for the ages. With the president you have somebody who is impulsive and unretkeubgtable, and with comey you have somebody who is deliberate, careful. And coming up at 7 00 a. M. , we will have full coverage of every developing political exist every developing political exist and turn come close, come close. Fun in art class. I like that. [ music stops suddenly ] ah.

Come on everybody. You cant quit, neither should your pain reliever. Stay all day strong with 12 hour aleve. Here are the seven things we think you should know today. Number one, breaking news in the east bay. A s. W. A. T. Standoff happening now, and it started as an argument between two neighbors and one started shooting. He ran inside and is refusing to come out. A fire at a strip mall at south white and story road and we just got word its knocked down. Its an abandoned Oreilly Auto Parts store. And Robert Mueller has been appointed as special counsel to investigate the middling in the russian investigation. Number four, all eyes on the stock market when it opens in an hour, and investors are rattled, and the market closing 373 points down, the worst day since the president took office. The turn around is complete. Temperatures below average for what will seem like forever now, and at least three to degrees difference. Bay bridge toll plaza, the last couple mornings we have had the metering lights flipped on at 5 21, and that should happen within the next ten minutes. Fans found what they were looking for at leave y no word if the city will actually issue a fine for the violation even if they did its just a 1,000, and i think u2 can afford it. How far would you go to make your furry friend happy. A report finds nearly all dog owners love their fourlegged friend so much they consider them part of the family, and 54 of dog owners say they would break up with somebody if their dog did not like their partner. And surveyed 1,500 adults w surveyed, and most pups are greeted first before others when they come home, and that makes sense because they come up to me. I dont know what its like in your house, people just generally ignore me, and that makes sense, but the dog likes me. And then a battle to keep a school from closing in the east bay. And then what we are learning about the death of rocker chris cornell. More breaking news.

Abc7 news reporter, amy hollyfield, is monitoring the situation and is live and we will have a live report from her in a few minutes. We are also following breaking news in the south bay. Theres a strip mall fire in san jose that we have been watching all morning long, and matt keller is live on the scene with us there. Reporter i want to show you something now. You can see firefighters are still spraying water on to the building here, and even though they are in full control and knocked down the fire in the past 20 minutes or so. What they are trying to do with the water is not put out the flames but knock down the awning. They call it a widow maker, and thats when theres a damaged piece of structure that can call on a firefighter down below, they they want to make sure they stay clear of that and knock it down so they dont have issues with it later on today. And this is video from earlier this morning, and you can see the flames that took place here at the Oreilly Auto Parts store on south white road and story road in san jose. Firefighters had a real fight on their hands and two hours they were battling the fire before they were able to knock it down and get control of the flames. They were out here all morning long spraying water from above, and fighting this defensively. A Security Guard spotted it at 3 00 this morning and they are the ones that called it in to 911 and got firefighters out here on the scene. The biggest concern is making sure this doesnt collapse down. They want to have it all secure and will put a fence around it as well, and south white road is closed right now, so if you are coming in this area, be aware you will not be able to get through on that part of the south white road here at story road.
