It started at the crime scene on first avenue and expanded to include several blocks. Kate larson is life in walnut creek with the details on the ongoing search for a murder suspect. Reporter dan, ama, we are onninling vaal lane buena vista, three or four blocks from first avenue where the shooting occurred. We are going to pan off. There are some motorcycle officers who just showed up at the end of the block. That is where police are searching for the shooters car. They are also searching a wide area. Lets look at video were here at the scene earlier. There was a partial s. W. A. T. Team here with their rifles and units. They have got shields. There were also canine officers on scene. Everyone looking for shooter in this area. Walnut pd looking for the folks this this area of buena vista and gary to go ahead and shelter in place since the suspect, possibly armed is on the loose. This all started around 1 30 this afternoon when someone shot a woman multiple times on first avenue. That is right along larky park. Police and paramedics arrived, but unfortunately, the woman died on scene. Now, witnesses say the shooter drove off southbound on buena vista. And we spoke to a woman who believes that she heard that suspect car speed right by her home. Heard a car speeding like really fast. And then whip around the corner, tires squealing. And i checked outside. I heard saw a cop car going by you. Dont see stuff like this too often. For it to be happening kind of in our neighborhood its just kind of crazy. Reporter all right. And wheat sky 7 overhead as well. This is extremely unusual for walnut creek. This is the first homicide of the year. The last homicide that happened was august of last year. Usually, the past 20 years they have only had one homicide every other year. Unusual crime activity for this neighborhood, and really all of walnut creek.

Another story we are following today the apprehension about what would happen in berke lee following all the controversy over ann coulters canceled speech at cal. Even with several large demonstrations just seven people in total were arrested in the city and on campus. Minutes ago she spoke about what she would have said. It was obviously going to be a searingly brilliant speech on immigration but the main point of which was federal written law on the books about immigration developed over generations by both democrats and republicans should be enforced. Today everything was much calmer than what weve witnessed in the last few months when clashes between groups on both sides of the political spectrum turned violent. We have had reporters both on cals campus and in the city all day to observe whats been happening. Lets start with you are live Team Coverage, with abc7 News ReporterLaura Anthony at Civic Center Park tonight. Laura . Reporter hi dan. Im on the edge of the park at this point. The rally itself ended at about 4 30 this afternoon. This has been pretty much the seen ever since. These some of the rally participants on this side of the street. Across the street near berkecally high school there have been some counterdemonstrators, but this has been more of a staring contest than a stand off. Fur for free speech and you reschedule something, you better follow through. Have you noticed Trump Supporters now, we are the hottest ticket in town. I mean, they cant get enough of us. Reporter the speeches went on without interruption at berkeleys civic park. Speakers that say they were taking the place of a conservative commentator ann coulter and standing up for free speech. I raise it supporting donald trump. We may be donald Trump Supporters but we support all free speech. Liberal, republican, i dont irka, left, right, center, you have a right to free speech. Thats what im here defending. U. S. A. reporter the Police Presence was large and visible. Many of those who came to the rally wore helmets, masks and in some cases protective padding. There is a remedy for speech that you dont like. More speech. Ill tell them when i think they are fools. I really support their right and their obligation to make themselves known to the rest of us. Reporter some came here to help keep things calm. There was an ever thee tent and a man walking arched offering hugs. What felt like was missing was love. Im taking a leap of faith that everybody deserve as hug. Everybody likes hugs and maybe it wuld insert a little bit of peace. Reporter there has been a considerable Police Presence here throughout the day. This has been their posture. They have been visible but pretty much standing down. We did see a few tense moments. Fripsz we saw two people on opposite sides of the political spectrum presumably shouting at each other, a man and a woman. There was a crowd around them. At the ends of the shouting match they basically looked at each other, shook hands, and walked away. In berkeley, Laura Anthony, abc7 news. Google noticed a change today by 10 00 a. M. , Civic Center Park on google maps was showing as much busier than usual with a large pink spike compared to the usual traffic shown in blue. Berkeley high school which is across the street from the park was dismissed as scheduled as 3 03 this afternoon. The school didnt have to cancel sports activities. Parents did have to pick up students from the south side of campus. And a few demonstrators did stand in front of the school. Everybody remained peaceful. Civic center park is less than a mile from berkeley university. Demonstrators gathered by sproel plaza. So did police. Its just strange. There is never this many police on campus. There were a lot and they came prepared but looked pretty calm most of the day. Wayne freedman continues our Team Coverage live from the cal kamm camp with us a look at activities there. Reporter good evening, dan. Today you see berkeley looked like a beachhead waiting for an invasion that never came. They had a lot of Police Officers here. Take a look around. The Police Officers are still here. 200 of them at one estimate not only from this campus, but also from ucla, oakland police, from the san leandro police, from the california Highway Patrol. From what we saw today the protesters were greatly outnumbered by the men and the women in uniform. Reporter if a person saw only the Police Presence, how they marched, how they prepared, it might be easy to assignment that the worst happened at uc berkeley today. Just one small complication. She is not even here. Reporter leaving us with what might be described as the ann coulter noshow show. Bracing for violence that never materialized. This is definitely not an appropriate use of police when clearly nothing is happening. Reporter officers blocked buildings. They put up barricades and then for most of the day listened in on a larger than use usual dose of political rhetoric here in the home of free speech. Everyone around here should be sounding the alarm about this fashionist regime in the white house. Reporter the only problem for anyone speaking, making sure that their voice would be louder than the person next door. Lets have a meaningful dialogue. Reporter on the Positive Side n this nation where citizens enjoy the luxury of expressing opinions that is exactly what happened. Call it political theater, but a little light on the drama with a twist of the existential in the dialogue. Its confusing. And its hard to understand. Its not really an argument about free speech. Not really an argument about keeping the peace. Its just lot of absurdities. Reporter as we come back live on the campus, this is a group of law students who are protesting what they say is the arrest of a third student on campus, a ph. D. Candidate. Other students arrested one for carrying a knife on campus and another for carrying a sign more than 30 inches across. We hear there is third student arrested on campus. We havent confirmed it. Live at uc berkeley, wayne freedman, abc7 news. Wane thanks very much. We have been leading up to this day almost a month ever since ann casualtier was invited to uc berkeley.
