It was a teenager who was shot here and that family probably only now trying to get some shuteye after a very traumatic past 13 hours. By all accounts a really quiet neighborhood is what weve seen this morning as well. The police just wrapped up their investigation. Take a look, it was a much different story when they got here to this home yesterday. A man claiming to be the teenagers uncle told abc 7 news the victim was 18 years old, had been depressed and tried to kill himself before cops arrived. But it is still unclear why police fired on the teen. Abc 7 news talked to witnesses. It was crazy. It was really surreal to see Something Like this in this neighborhood. Like nothing really happens like that here that often. Reporter and now as the morning gets going, we are hoping to get more details from police. When we got out here to the scene, we were seeing some police cars out here. They wrapped up, rolled up the police tape, which means they spent about 12 hours here on scene investigating only part of a very lengthy investigation now under way. In san jose, jessica castro, abc 7 news. A lot of things to uncover from that. Breaking news this morning, an el al flight from new york to israel has landed safely after they got a threat onboard.

Social media went nuts yesterday after we found out that after nine years of the Oklahoma City thunder, superstar kevin durant is going to make his way here to oakland. He shocked the nba and a lot of the rest of us as he agreed to a twoyear, 54 million deal to join the golden state warriors. With the thunder durant played nine years, won an mvp award and made seven allstar appearances. So here is the gm for Oklahoma City talking about durants exit. You know, were not going to be deterred. Were going to continue to advance. Theres a new beginning here for the thunder. And, you know, we have to embrace that and we have to lean into that. I guess what do we expect him to say, right . That its all over . He wasnt going to do that. Despite durants loyalty to okc, he felt like it was time for a new chapter in his life and a new career. Draymond green was the first warrior to congratulate k. D. He said welcome to the family. Lets just do what were setting out to do. Block out the noise. Raiders quarterback derek carr tweeted cant wait to go watch these games right next door. Wow. And Kevin Durants mother, wanda, said to the warriors, congrats, you have a great player coming. Im excited. Just excited. New beginnings are good. Its the kind of bright light that you dont want to see on the fourth of july. Coming up, how a Fireworks Show went incredibly wrong.

There will be some minor tweaks like the north bay will warm up while the south bay may hold steady if not cool just a little bit in some areas because of the wind shift thats coming.

Also it looks like a car out of gas at the toll plaza, third lane from the right so heads up there. Otherwise youre looking at a solid stream of traffic. It is moving, though, fairly nicely. To san jose, 87 past the sap center, very light conditions at this hour. This hour. Coming up on 6 12. The barge did blow up near the end of a Fireworks Show. A malfunction caused an explosion and fire on that barge. That was being used as a launch point. Witnesses say the Fireworks Show had been going on about 10 minutes when there was a big boom on that barge, followed by bursts of fire. So the show didnt go on as planned, but at least no one was hurt. This seems to make sense, more u. S. Cities are looking at 911 texting as an option during emergencies. This includes photos and videos in realtime from people who need help. Technology is receiving new attention after last months shooting at the pulse nightclub in orlando. Many people texted relatives to call 911 because it was too dangerous to make a call. They couldnt text 911 directly because orlando is among many u. S. Cities that dont have that technology.

Disturbing accusations from some Police Officers in Rio De Janeiro just weeks before the olympic games. A group of officers say police wont be able to protect tourists. The group marched to rios airport as a warning. They claim officers and firefighters havent been paid for months and that crime rates are on the rise. Now, others are denying the report. In fact one military Police Official says everything will be taken care of before the opening ceremony. We have a very common saying here in brazil, for the english to see. I believe that the politicians here are doing everything for the english to see. Thats an ominous interview. For the english to see, meaning put on a show for public consumption.

Time now to ask vinny. Have you ever heard of a Property Management company where you schedule a selfguided tour of rental properties . You pay 99 cents. Is this for real or is this a scam . Dominic, it sounds so weird, doesnt it . Well, its a fairly new business model. Get this, its legit. The company is using an Online Service called rently. You sign up online, get a onetime code to the homes lockbox. You go to the home, punch in the key and do your own tour. The 99cent payment is a onetime charge thats basically used to verify the renters credit card. That way they know its you whos going into the home. This is all about convenience. So now instead of waiting for someone, you can see a rental property on your own schedule. I actually would love that. That sounds great. If you have a question for michael finney, head to abc7news.

His social media director said the star was lifted from an antihillary twitter user. The arizona sheriff who once made inmates wear pink underwear is at it again. That would be Sheriff Joe Arpaio of maricopa county. He assigned inmates who were military veterans to hand out striped jail suits with u. S. Flags stitched into them. A longstanding federal code says you cant wear the American Flag as apparel. Arpaio says this is about something more personal. This is one way to display that love, loyalty, patriotism, even in a jail environment. Critics say arpaio was looking for cheap publicity on a slow news day. He is running for a seventh term while defending him in a racial profiling case. Some napa county residents are buzzing over a recent visit from nancy pelosi. During a recent trip to st. Helena, pelosis security detail violated traffic laws to get her to a shoe store. Some store owners questioned that driving because the visit appeared to be a shopping trip and not official business.
