The substantial and compelling circumstances existed in the double amputee runners case to give him a lesser sentence. A developing story in the south bay now. String of shootings in san jose that has neighbors on edge and demanding answers.

And police tell us theyre just not appear to be any known connection between the shooter and his or her targets. We spoke with a woman who lives around here who is upset that police are just now letting the public know about the shootings. They should have at least announced something in the area so people could be watching out and be aware of whats happening. That is so wrong on so many levels. Reporter San Jose Police tell us it was only recently they became clear that there was a pattern to these shootings. The department had dedicated more resources to this area to try to catch the shooter. One resident tells us the other day he saw a number of squad cars posted among blossom hill road.

The government issive ging you a warning. Ill tell you about it coming up in business and tech. The winning numbers are in but theres no big winner.

The fbi explanation of the investigation into Hillary Clintons use of a personal emailer is vir er ier is serv. Republicans are now hoping to capitalize. Nbc news correspondent Edward Lawrence drives us now live from washington, d. C. Its certainly Hillary Clintons camp might hope this is the end of it but republicans are not going to let it go, edward. Good morning, sam and laura. Within the last hour we learned republicans in the house are calling for an Emergency Committee meeting in order to have the fbi director come and testify and explain why there are no charges being filed against Hillary Clinton. Now, clinton put out a statement saying that as far as shes concerned this is over. She has not talked publicly about the decision though. Fbi director james comey finds himself in the middle of a very contested president ial race. He announced the fbi will not recommend charges against Hillary Clinton but calls her actions with classified material extremely careless. Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. Reporter comey says sanctions would have been placed on anyone treating classified material the way clinton did if that person was still working at the state department. Clinton did not address the fbis conclusions as she campaign wed president obama in charlotte. Someone who has never forgotten where he came from and, donald, if youre out there tweeting, its hawaii. So the bottom line is i know hillary can do the job. Reporter republicans hope to canpitalize on the Strong Language the fbi director used. Its a disgrace. She is laughing at the stupidity of our system. Reporter donald trump called the system rigged. She was guilty and it turned out that were not going to press charges. Its really amazing. Reporter he again raised the question of clintons judgment. And now the investigation has been turned over to the attorney general for the final decision on the charges will be filed against Hillary Clinton. Reporting live in washington, Edward Lawrence. Now back to you, kris, sam. Edward, thank you very much. Donald trump last night also managed to raise eyebrows once again. This time by seemingly praising former iraqi dictator saddam hussein. He suggested that saddam really was a bad guy. Then trump went on to offer praise about how the former dictator quickly killed terrorists. Even called iraq the harvard of terrorism. The Clinton Campaign responded by calling this the latest proof that donald trump, in clintons words, is unfit to be president. House democrats will be back at it once again today calling for stricter gun control on capitol hill. This latest push will be led by San Francisco congresswoman nancy pelosi. She along with many gun violence survivors and victims families will demand votes on gun control measures. Youll remember two weeks ago hughes democrats staged a 25hour sitin on the house floor. Speaker paul ryan called that a political stunt. Republicans plan to hold a vote on a bill which they say prevent terrorists from getting guns. Democrats though say that the billion does not go far enough. State politics. Californias new child immu immunization law might face a legal threat that will stop it in its track. It requires mandatory vaccines for all school age children. One group of parents filed suit last week in san diego seeking to overturn the law. They claim that it violates a childs right to an education as guaranteed by the california state constitution. That suit also asks to have the law suspended until the case plays out the court. A warning this morning about your computer at its security with a strange twist. Scott mcgrew is back on the case and this time its a security. The software itself. The very software that is supposed to keep you safe, right . Its a serious enough problem that federal government itself is sounding the warning this morning. Homeland security says hackers are able to Access Computers running symantec security software. You see the irony, Antivirus Software supposed to make your computer more safe with. Its more vulnerable. The fix is super easy. Semantic has a patch but get on it. Tesla continues to defend itself after the crash of one of itses cars in florida. The question is timing. Should investors have been told about the crash sooner . The crash was may 7th. Tesla told the government about it may 16th. And then may 18th tesla told more stocks. Strictly speaking, tesla told the government even sooner than it had to but the question remains, should it have told investors before the sale of the stock . Speaking of stock, lets check the news before the bell. We have i have no idea. Good morning at cnbc world headquarters. Susan li, im sorry. Ive been vacation, susan. Thats okay. I forgive you, scott. Lets talk about the markets and wall street looks to start the day in the red once again. Futures pointing lower at this hour. Stocks did fall on tuesday over renewed concerns oeft u. K. s brexit vote which is pushing investors toward safer stuff like dpoegold and bonds. Gold is surging to a twoyear high today and yield to Government Debt is down to record lows. Watching for data on the Services Sector and minutes from last months fed meeting. The dow fell 108 points yesterday, trading on 17804. The nasdaq lowered down 49 points. Back to you, scott. All right, susan. Nice to make your acquaintance. I want to touch on something you said there about yields on bonds and, sam and kris, i know its just past 5 00 so ill get the hook if i get too far into this but stick with me for just a second. So money is flowing out of the stock stock market, especially out of the european stock market because of the brexit. That money needs a safe place to live. Gold is pretty good. U. S. Bonds, lending money to the American Government also very safe. Now, the more demand there is for bonds the lower the Interest Rate is going to go. The lower the payout. That is great for the government. It can for borrow money super cheap and its great for homeowners because Mortgage Rates use the governments tenyear bond as the measure, a way to set the rate. So the more the stock market suffers generally speaking the cheaper mortgages are going to get. I will remind you though donald trump said in may if hes president hell consider not paying back the people who lend the u. S. Government money or pay them back less than than theyre owed. The statement shocked the financial world when he said it. He backtracked. Money needs a safe place to hide in times like this, like the brexit. It wants to hide in our government coffers is helpful to america generally speaking. Theres a downside. But its a good place to hide and we ought to keep it a good place to hide. I suspect that republicans will be trying to get donald trump to backtrack a little bit more. Even a little bit more. Its only safe if we keep it reliable. A safe haven now is kari hall. Mega millions jackpot is 454 million. This winning numbers are in but no Mega Millions jackpot winners. However, its still worth a looksy.

One of them was sold in Southern California and that is a 2. 3 million payout. Miraloma market was a popular spot. The jackpot is worth 580 million. The next drawing is on fay friday. You shouldnt split to get your tickets just yet. Friday, friday. Friday. Just admit, kris, you like saying those numbers. I like saying it. A little ring about that. Our number, temperatures numbers are down again today, its cool. I dont think well mind these numbers going down. No. We want the other numbers to go up. As we look outside this morning, beautiful start to this wednesday morning. Were halfway through the week. Hey, if you had monday off, it is continuing to just coast right on closer to the weekend. Look at this beautiful sun rise shot as we see the flag kind of waving a little bit there. Just a light wind. And as we also get a look at san jose as the sun comes up this morning all clear for that part of the bay area.
