The flames spread quickly to the three nearby buildings, and the cause of the fire is under investigation. Firefighters are still on the scene of the huge fire in the Mission District that started yesterday afternoon in or around the hardware, and firefighters stayed overnight to make sure that the embers did not reignite. The fivealarm fire destroying six buildings, thick smoke blanketing the area as they worked to evacuate the Old Buildings and to get the fire under control. Heavy smoke and heavy heat conditions, and it appears to be that the firefighter safety would be compromised, so we regrouped to the exterior location and began to fight the fire from the exterior of the building. For those displaced, the red cross is helping them out, and two people were treated for smoke inhalation. The sharp up fire is about sherpa fire is about 45 contained, and the tall grass is resenting a challenge for the firefighters, and mandatory evacuations remain in place as the fire is under evacuation. It is one week since the gunman opened fire at the gate not sure of gay nightclub in orlando, a vigil honoring the 49 killed in the master, and new details come to light about the shooter, omar mateen, and he talked about bringing a gun to a College Class shortly after the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007. The School Records show he was suspended 48 days before graduating from high school. Hundreds of people expected to turn out to protest the sacramento pastor praising the death of the orlando shooting victims. Said that 50 pedophiles are killed today, no, i think it is great. And this is the Verity Baptist Church at youtube, and they posted the video last week. Youtube removed the video calling it hate speech. And he is 100 correct that that is what the bible says. He is not a man of god or teaching a true religion. Hundreds will be out in full force of the protest today. And the orlando shooting is brittle evidence that the existing gun laws are not working, a new initiative on the november ballot, and it coalition backed by the nra released a video opposing the initiative. Background checks when it c to buying ammunition. It wod s to report that video produced by the coalition for civil liberties, and the proposal will require a background check when it comes to buying ammunition and requires owners to report when a gun is lost or stolen. All of this comes after several other gun related proposals move ahead at the state capitol, allowing Mental Health experts to get a restraining order to prevent high risk people from purchasing a gun. Another proposal would prevent a person from buying a gun for another person. It is going to Committee Review before getting a final vote on the floors. And they continue to support gun control measures, and according to the poll released in january, 57 want stricter laws, 38 said is more important to protect the rights of americans that own guns. Congress taking up the debate over gun control measures, and this coming after the orlando shooter reportedly bought the guns after being on the terror watch list twice. A vote on two amendments is expected in the senate, and senator Cliff Murphy Chris murphy set stood on the senate floor for 15 hours, and the nofly list watch list, preventing them from purchasing guns, and also tighter control for internet and gun shows. Terrorist are enlisting people to kill people and we need to stop those people from owning weapons. Going after the second minion Second Amendment is not how you stop terrorism. A proposed amendment would require the fbi to get a court order to block someone on the terror watch list from buying a gun. Presumptive republican nominee donald trump, links, and Dianne Feinstein all discussing gun control on face the nation, coming up after our broadcast on kpix 5 news. Donald trump is on the campaign trail. And at the las vegas rally, the Presumptive Republican nominee says it would be helpful if republicans would rally around him. He threatened that if the republicans do not come together he would go back to finance his own campaign. I do not think it will matter that much in terms of whether i win, i will be honest. It used to be total establishment, i hate to tell you. Think of this, before i ran, i can tell you that i can tell you or you would leave immediately. They released an ad campaign that promises to address Hillary Clinton and her email. Hillary clinton is spending her time addressing her issues with donald trump. It has become clear that he is a thinskinned racist bully, and every day it becomes clear that he should never be president of the united states. Warren attempted to rally support for the reclaim, and recent polls show that the rating for donald trump is plummeting, and most americans have an unfavorable opinion of him now. And donald trump may have something to do with the tech giant calling the company out over its refusal to give Law Enforcement special access to the devices, apple joining a growing list of companies that has said no to this years republican event. And the Oakland Police chief, the department has seen three chiefs stepping down in nine days, and the civil rights attorney wants to expand the city monitor power over the opd, asking the federal judge to allow the federal monitor overseeing the city police force to now take up the issue of recording recruiting and hiring Police Officers as well. Maybe we can make sure that we dont have officers slipping through the cracks that have a moral philosophies. Stack they will pay the Consulting Firm 800,000 this year alone, and they could oversee the hiring process this week. We will him we will hear more about this from our political insiders coming up, and it has been a crazy week in oakland. We have had one scandal after another, after another, after another, and we will talk about what is going on in the city hall, and we will talk about what is going on in the streets of oakland. That is where we see tensions, and a rise in shootings as well. It will be interesting to hear about this, fired up. Still ahead, Sexual Assault cases and we will have an attorney, web joining us, and what the lawmakers are doing to change gun laws. First, a look outside, a beautiful morning overlooking the bay bridge, sunshine all around and your extended forecast is coming up. ,,,,,,, jury in tennessee convicted t university this morning, a comparison being made between two similar cases with very different sentences. The jury intensity convicted the former Vanderbilt University Football Player of rape. 23yearold brandon gave her alcohol and encouraged teammates to sexually assault her, facing 15 years in prison, and is expected to be sentenced next month. In contrast, for for formers former senior brock turner. 6 months for assaulting woman. We talk about Sexual Assault on the college campuses, and some critics say that the circumstances are too similar to justify the discrepancies. We have steve flagstaff year to talk about the discrepancies. Lets get to this, the similarities and differences. The similarity is taking advantage of a young woman, and the crucial dissimilarity is that the vanderbilt player is the one that gave her the i call and the drug. They did not happen in this case we are dealing with, that was taking advantage of a woman that had on her own ingested alcohol and that is a enormous difference. That case, if you give someone a drug that would be happening. And speaking nationally and locally about the centers for brock turner, and in the media, a lot of times we the case that will explode into National Colleges miss consciousness. I want to know how come there are cases like this without the star power. The case that occurred in santa clara is 100th of one of what is going on throughout the state. We have had cases where people took advantage of cases, and judge have discrepancy, so it is not unusual. Is the sentence unusual or is it something that just grabbed our attention . It is unusual, and it did grab attention. The law allows the judge to give a promotion very sentence if they choose to probationary sentence if they choose to. There is an International Website calling for the recall of the judge, but that will probably not happen anytime soon, so is there an alternative . The judge does not get to create the sentence, the power comes from the legislator as to what they set for the punishment. If the California Legislature wanted to, they could say that for these type cases theres no probation it owns eligibility. And for all other assaults it is mandatory prison, but for one like this, they could say mandatory prison like all of the others. The judges do not have inherent power to change the law. I spoke with a few legislators that have asked me what they can do about it, and i give them options that the legislature could do if they chose to. They could do it if they wanted, and it is their choice whether to initiate legislative action, their only choice. If there is a situation of date rape, and a lot of it is involving a drug that is slipped into someone strengths, what is the position someones drinks, what is the position legally . It could be reduced to a misdemeanor. It is a misdemeanor to have the drug and not someone out . Yes it is. That would be a tool that could of been used to prevent some of these things. No question, east lake the legislature could change that. And we did want them to do that, but it did not make its way through legislature. What type of crime is that if you put something in someones drink . If you put it in with intent to rape the woman, or the fentanyl drug that they use, it could be a felony drug case. What if it is a mickey that is slipped in and someone takes advantage . If you had knowledge it can be a felony and you can go to prison. We use the changes statewide as result of this case . You know our legislature a new study it better than anybody, and whether they could agree on making a change or whether it will slip into the past like so many high publicity cases, that is what we will watch closely. Thank you for joining us this morning, an issue that is now under the spotlight, and we will see whether someone takes action, or whether it will fade away to the next story. We will turn to the forecast. A live look outside at the sfo, and you can see what we expect for the rest of the day, sunshine everywhere, no delays at the sfo, and very little fog. Beautiful and sunshine, warm temperatures for fathers day, staying warm to hot inland for the first part of the work week. Taking a look at the High Temperatures, morgan hill at 92, lost altos 85, east bay and livermore 92, concord 90, danville 89 degrees. Moving to the north bay, a nice day to be on the beach, plenty of sunshine, 65 in san rafael, 85, and 85 degrees for beautiful San Francisco. Monday will be hot inland, and 97 degrees, triplets, and on the converse along the coast, it will cool off beginning on tuesday. We have your microclimate in full effect over the next seven days. More bay area news, amtrak expanding the Train Service between the bay area and central valley, and and track amtrak says it is part of the new mega reason were people can commute between the valley, giving options to people that do not want to pay the sky high bay area housing. People are getting desperate. The Oakland Police department reeling from more scandals, and still a here, the way in from the mayors handling of the ongoing saga. Weve been with you from the beginning. Weve seen each other through good times and bad. Sickness and health. Were with you San Francisco, and you bring out the best in us. Care. Resulting in a rotating doo Police Chiefs. From Sexual Misconduct to mishandling of confidential homici the Oakland Police department reeling from multiples candles, rotating door of Police Chiefs, from Sexual Conduct to mishandling homicide report, and racist text messages. The mayor is clearly frustrated, and what about the members of community . I do not have a great deal of confidence in them anyhow. Hopefully we can affect the changes that we need. The third chief to step down in nine days, and the city administrator, a civilian, taking over the Police Department until they can find a permanent chief. The Oakland Police officer association put out a statement in saying that the scandal does not represent what the union stand for as, the officers are justice of disappointed as everyone else in the blemish that these events have made on the reputation of the Oakland Police officers. We have the former San Francisco mayor willie brown that had his share of police problems, and we wanted to weigh in on help mayor libby schaafs handling the growing scandals. My initial advice is to stay the course. Believe me, you enjoy being mayor for the first 100 days, unless you set something not achievable. You can enjoy being mayor for a hold year unless you come to a problem, and when you come to a problem, you begin to show exactly who you are. And you are not the super hero that everybody thought you were and you allow them to believe you were. Every mayor experiences the same thing, and sometimes it will last a year, and for mayor ed lee, it lasted for years before hitting the wall. And she cannot discover everything, and all of this social media stuff, and this accumulated information is available, and usually some nerd will find it after you made your decision. If that happens, and you go through Police Chiefs left and right, the perception of you being in control drops. Exactly. You hit the wall and you are no longer the superstar with all of the answers. How did mayor ed lee wind up in this situation . He hit the wall on the issue of homelessness, for an example. The housing crisis, and he focused so much on jobs, and the housing industry problem has lagged. About 98 of this has to do with personality. What is the real accomplishments so far . Virtually none because she is not been there long enough. And you had the city council made up of people that no one even focuses on anymore. And who is there, rebecca . So she is the star . She is the star in oakland. You are better off if you would stay on the National Speaking tour if you are the star in oakland. In other words, stay out of town. Absolutely. And we heard her comparing the department to eight frat house. To a frat house. On one hand she appears decisive, and the political advisors are telling her to take it and take control and be in charge, and she says that she owns it. The question is whether she can steer the department through. Until she gets the chief in there again, she has to be answering for everything, and not just police misconduct. If something happens after the warriors game or another shooting downtown involving a young person, and that is on her watch. And in the meantime, Council Members are frustrated, and they feel they are being left in the dark, and we will hear from Councilmember Noah gio and a lot coming up in the next halfhour. A little look at the shark sighting at the surfing beach, more coming up. ,,, the sunll come out tomorrow. ,,, for people with Heart Failure, tomorrow is not a given. But entresto is a medicine that helps make more tomorrows possible. Tomorrow, tomorrow. I love ya, tomorrow in the largest Heart Failure st
