We see cars streaming out of the campus so part of the campus has been they have been allowed to leave. I think two other parts of campus remain on lockdown.

Other news today, bay area mayors and state officials are also entering the gun control debate. Cbs 5 political reporter grace lee is in hayward with a look at how mayors around the bay area are making their voices heard in the debate. Grace. Reporter thats right, ken. The mayors in the biggest cities here in the bay area all agree that something has to be done. But its not just the mayors. We are here in hayward because the state treasurer said meet me in hayward so were here. And he points out that california has actually invested millions of dollars into a gun manufacturer, the same one that made the gun used in newtown, connecticut. And this has led to a series of political maneuvers. In an open letter to the president today, eight big city mayors from new york to los angeles asked for an outright ban on assault weapons. Its clear that gun is not for the streets its not for sports. Its really a gun of war. Reporter San Francisco mayor ed lee and oakland mayor jean quan agree with the federal assault weapons ban thats already in place in california. The two cities just had their largest gun buyback event taking 600 firearms off the streets. The reality is we can buy back hundreds but if we cant stop the flow into nevada and increasingly now for the internet and other sources, this is where we really need and thats why i think you see the mayors across the country trying to put pressure on the federal government. Reporter but will public sentiment last long enough to fight strong lobbying groups line the nra . San jose mayor chuck reed weighed in. I think people have a right to not necessarily use assault weapons anytime anywhere they want. And i think within the limits of the constitution, there are things we can do and we should. Some may see it as a smart political move and it may be. But theres always risk. Reporter this political consultant says the political momentum is Strong Enough to call for more gun control. I think that the tipping upon the is reached and the mayors signing this letter and the legislators in congress pushing it and the president will force some change. Reporter it is not just legislation. The state treasurer announced that he has taken nearly 9 million state pension dollars out of freedom group, a gun manufacturer that makes the weapon used at the newtown school. Illegal to either have or sell that weapon in the state of california. So obviously the state shouldnt be a participant in that kind of activity. Reporter lockyer also points out this is not the first time that california has invested into a company and taken the money out. We invested in money in south African Companies and tobacco companies. They took those monies out. Its a challenge when you have 400 billion in a hedge Fund Managing all this money but says they are going to keep at it. Thank you, grace lee.

Family members were prepared to read victim impact statements but instead, it was burris and his Advisory Counsel who spoke asking for a new date.

But i work in the first floor of the library and one of the other administrators got a phone call from the Vice President that there had been an alert. And then we started sheltering in place based on that phone alert. If youre just joining us were talking to proving charles haimer will who is working at san Jose City College on lockdown. Have you heard an seen anything unusual that might have prompted this . Didnt see anything unusual. The library is actually on the opposite end of the tech building where the report came in. The library is half a mile from the callin. Does the school or does the campus have a history of violence at all . Theres appear increasing number of incidents on the theres an increasing number of incident on the campus. Were in san jose and as has been reported theres an increasing number of incidents reported in san jose and our campus is not immune to that. Youre referring obviously to some stories that have been in the news recently about lower numbers of Police Officers and a rise in violent crime. But specific to the university, there hasnt been anything outstanding recently . No. At the Community College the number of incidents, just yesterday there was a man reported brandishing a knife on campus and that warning was sent to everybody on campus. Theres been increased burglaries increased robberies. I have been here 14 years and each year, the incidents have been rising.

Thats the Science Building and the tech building on the opposite side of the campus from where you are now . Thats the Technology Building at the corner of bascomb and moorpark. Whats the sense on campus there. A sense of panic . Are people worried about the possibility the gunman on campus . Theres no sense of panic. The employees were able to maintain a semblance of order and the main concern was about finals tonight. So its very orderly evacuation so far.

In the wake of what you have seen in the last week you know connecticut notwithstanding, but other calls that have come in at other campuses, are you worried that Something Like this could happen at your school . Was i personally worried . Yeah. Yeah. I have been personally worried about i have been personally worried about the level of safety on this campus particularly.

What is your opinion on the safety on campus . Do you consider it a safe campus . Is there security . Is it in a nice area . Do you feel that way . My opinion is that its not a safe campus especially at night. Okay. And as you were explaining this may have come as a telephone warning or a threat that came in to i think you described it as the Chancellors Office and then the word went out . A person was sighted with a weapon in the tech building and im not sure who sighted it or who made the report but then word went out to the administration channel that this happened and to start sheltering in place. All right. Professor charles heimler, thank you for the first person account of whats going on and the situation to bring you up to date.

And administrators had to lock the doors from the outside, as well. Given the events in newtown, connecticut, a couple of days ago, that was on their minds. But it looks like things are at least winding down in the section of the campus were at but they are restricting access to the tech center and the Science Building down the street from us. They are still looking heavy Police Presence on the campus but looks like some people are being allowed back home. Traffic is heavy in both directions.

Charles heimler. Tell me what happened with you here. Reporter so about i work in bottom floor of the library and about 5 00, a phone call was made to one of the administrators that a person with a weapon was spotted in the tech building which is at the corner of was some and moorpark. And we were to lock down and shelter all the students in place. So we moved about 200 students in one of the back rooms of the library and locked the doors and then went from there. Reporter what was that like to move 200 students . Was it chaos or panic . No. It was a very orderly response. We had Staff Members<\/a> and faculty direct the students to move into the room. We got them out of sight of glass doors. Students were concerned about finishing go to their final exams which are happening tonight and completing their work. But there wants any panic. It was very orderly procedural. Reporter what was everyone doing . Were they lying on the ground up against the walls hands over their heads . I mean, what was it like in there . No. We had them all sit down on the floor so that anyone going by looking through the front doors back into that room which is also a glass door that they wouldnt be seen. Reporter is this part of your training to make it seem that nobody was inside the room . Last spring we had a shooter on campus drill that was optional, not many people attended. Faculty hadnt been trained in this. Im a faculty member. So there really hasnt been much training except for one or two people that really know what the procedures are to follow. Reporter i wonder whats going through your minds given that newtown just happened four days ago. The issues of violence on School Campuses<\/a> is paramount in peoples minds right now. And we have had incidents on this campus before yesterday we had a sighting of a man with a knife on campus and now its text messaging as a warning. We are in a tough spot. This is san Jose City College<\/a> and our sister evergreen Community College<\/a> he which is on the other side of san jose, it covered both campuses and after 3 00 we only have one officer on duty for both those campuses. So theres been an increase of crime in this neighborhood. Theres been an increase of reported incidents on campus things like smash and grab and car burglaries. Glad youre okay and that hopefully people can get on with the finals and enjoy the holiday season. Sure. And anyone thats thinking of come to san Jose City College<\/a> tonight its closed so dont come. Reporter thank you. Once again, appreciate your time. Thank you. Reporter there you have it. It seemed to be a pretty orderly situation as far as getting locked down here on campus. Some of them used barricades. They hid underneath the door so that if there were a shooter on campus looking through the window of the door they wouldnt see anybody there. There was mention of lack of Police Resources<\/a> because of the budget cuts increase of crime here on campus. There might be an issue of training with faculty, as well. So it looks like things are winding do at least in this section of campus. Once were done here well go to the tech center and see whats happening there. But for now, were going to monitor the situation and bring you any updates. There was a report about 4 30 about two hours ago of somebody on campus with a gun. They were in the vicinity of the Technology Center<\/a> if you know where that is at San Jose City<\/a>. Police responded and the order was given out to those on campus to shelter in place lock the doors. Pretty much what youre supposed to do in that situation. And both kiet and i ran into the same professor one by phone and one live professor charles heimler, who is an english professor there at city who said that that is indeed what they did they sheltered in place. He has seen and heard nothing out of the ordinary tonight. They are working to contact San Jose Police<\/a> and campus authorities to find out if it was a real sighting or just somebody who thought they saw somebody with a gun. So of part of the campus is still on lockdown and some students are allowed to go moment. Earlier you could see people exiting the building. Its dark so we couldnt tell if it was students or cops but the section of the campus that we are referring to is the Science Complex<\/a> and the tech building. Stay with us. Well be right back. ,,, well, inside the brewer, theres a giant staircase. And the room is filled with all these different kinds of coffee. Actually, i just press this button. San Jose City College<\/a> is on lockdown after unconfirmed want to update you on breaking introduce out the south bay where san Jose City College<\/a> is on lockdown after unconfirmed reports of a gunman on campus. We have had chopper 5 up over the school for the last hour or so. A lot of San Jose City<\/a> police and Campus Police<\/a> doing a room toroom search. We want it go back now to kiet do who is on the ground on campus. Kiet, what can you tell us . Reporter hi there. We are live here with the president of san Jose City College<\/a>. This is barbara. Thank you for joining us. So walk us through. You got report of a gunman around 4 30. Yes, Police Contacted<\/a> me and we went into immediate lockdown. Thats the first step to secure the campus to protect students and employees. And, of course, the police came on board and immediately started their search. Reporter tell us what you know about the actual report. What did the students see and what did they say happened . The information that i can share at this time is that through a text message we found out that its possible a student had a gun on campus and, of course, we had to respond immediately to that. Was it a student in did they have an affiliation with the campus . We dont have specific details on that at the moment. Reporter but are you confident that it was a credible report . I really cant comment on that. Reporter how would you describe the response after that . I would say the employees and the Police Responded<\/a> very quickly. Again, we have had training at san Jose City College<\/a> on how to respond. So we were instructed to evacuate part of the campus. So we moved immediately notifying students and employees by text message and police set up the station in front of our Science Building<\/a> and they are on the other side of campus going through the campus securing it trying to resolve this issue quick will. Reporter have they been able to find any evidence of a gunman . No. Reporter any shots fired . No. No shots have been fired. Reporter what can you tell us about Police Resources<\/a> . We understand that with the budget cuts and things like that, that you dont have as many officers as you would like. I think certainly throughout california with the cuts at Community College<\/a>s were all facing a shortage with personnel but we have an Excellent Police<\/a> department. They are very responsive. So far they have done a good job of securing the college and helping us through the situation. Do you think it was a frustrated student trying to delay finals . I dont have any information on that. Is this a safe campus . I believe it is a very safe campus, yes. Thank you,the president of san Jose City College<\/a>. It looks like they are still searching for some evidence of the gunman who walked into the tech center around 4 30 today. That building still is on lockdown. They have had no reports of any shots fired. And they have not found any evidence of any gunman as of yet. Back to you. Thank you, kiet do. More funerals for children killed in fridays massacre in connecticut. But also, some signs that newtown is returning to normal as some schools reopen. Is not all schools are open. Sandy hook elementary is still closed. Cbs reporter Randall Pinkston<\/a> is live in newtown. Another school was forced to close because of threats. Reporter what we know is that the students were told not to report to school this morning. Authorities say they received threats, they have not given us details but they say that students were advised not to report to classes. We dont know at this point whether the school will be open tomorrow. We assume that it will. We assume that the threats have been checked out and found to be baseless. This would be the third time in the past four days that a church or school in the area has been shut down because of bogus threats. The church a Roman Catholic<\/a> church had to shut down and so was a high school. Of course, given what happened here last friday, everyone is taking every threat seriously. And they have to be checked out thoroughly before they can allow business to continue as usual. Reporter the coffin carrying the body of 6year old James Mattioli<\/a> left Saint Rose Church<\/a> as family and friends hugged each other in their grief. His family described him as a numbers guy who loved math and recess. Soon after the little boys funeral, the somber scene was repeated. Mourners gathered at the same church to say goodbye to 6 yearold jessica rekos, a girl who loved horses and whales. Several wakes are also being held this evening for victim of fridays massacre including one for teacher victoria soto, who has been called a hero for shielding students from the gunman. The memorials for the 20 students and 6 teachers grow each day. Wellwishers from all over are coming to pay their respects. Some lit candles, others put ornaments on christmas trees. Many wonder how the families will get through the holidays. Can you imagine . Thats where my heart goes out to. I cant imagine having to wake up on christmas morning. I wouldnt want to. Reporter newtown is slowly trying to return to normal. Some schools other than sandy hook reopened for the First Time Since<\/a> the shooting. Buses carrying children drove on to School Grounds<\/a> with green and white ribbons on the front sandy hooks colors but police kept one Elementary School<\/a> closed as a precaution after threats. I always am worried. Now its very bad. Reporter children at sandy hook have not yet returned to school. When they do, it will be at a school in the nearby town of monroe. Early this evening, the National Rifle<\/a> association for the First Time Since<\/a> the shooting issued a formal response calling the shooting a sickening saddening event saying they will do whatever is possible to try to prevent future attacks of this sort. The National Rifle<\/a> association is planning to have a News Conference<\/a> this friday where we expect to hear details about what they plan to do. Reporting live in newtown, connecticut, im Randall Pinkston<\/a>. Thank you. Pg e set up a showand tell in dublin today. They presented how next year they will be able to prevent or manage any future disaster. Cbs 5 reporter Ann Notarangelo<\/a> reports. Reporter pg e says it learned a great deal since san bruno. Among them, its a good idea to have everybody in the same room especially in a emergency so in the building behind me in the coming months on the fifth floor they will have a call center that can receive calls about possible gas leaks and dispatch people immediately. Our level of preparedness is dramatically different today than when san bruno occurred. Reporter pg es gas Division Wanted<\/a> to show off their new Gas Control Center<\/a> in san ramon. All the while explaining this company is much different now than it was september 2010 when a gas pipeline ruptured in san bruno killing eight people and destroying dozens of homes. We have we have much greater confidence in our ability to operate those pipelines i feel sa. Reporter thursday, the California Public<\/a> Utilities Commission<\/a> will vote on pg es Pipeline Safety<\/a> plans developed after the explosion. Puc staff is recommending approval. These are all new faces to pg e. The independent review panel suggested separating the companys gas and electric divisions and everyone here came on board after san bruno. The majority of the Leadership Team<\/a> is new to pg e. Individuals that were previously part of the Gas Organization<\/a> are either retired or moved on. Reporter the company itself is reorganizing. By july, this room will hold about 200 workers who currently work in San Francisco<\/a>, color, walnut creek and fresno. People who answer calls about gas leaks will be next to people who control gas distribution and emergency dispatch. We can make better decisions respond more quickly to events that may occur or develop on the system. Our goal is to be able to not only respond but to begin predicting when things begin to develop on this system. Reporter today management touted its overhaul of the physical system inspecting and replacing hundreds of miles of pipeline and installing new valves. That was a big issue in san bruno when it took more than an hour to manually shut off the gas. New main line valves are being installed some can be controlled remotely. Others are designed to automatically shut off if there are pressure changes. Pg e has already spent 1 1 2 billion dollars to make these fixes and the shareholders have picked up the tab for that but now they want to spend an additional 2. 2 billion to make future repairs. Elizabeth, they are hoping that us, the consumers, that well pay for it. It will average about 2 a months on our bills. Thank you, Ann Notarangelo<\/a>. Lets go back out live to san jose to the city college. Quick update on whats going on there right now. The school is currently on lockdown and they are specifically looking for a gunman, a possible gunman, on campus. There was a report this evening about 4 30 when students were evacuated and the Science Complex<\/a> and the tech building are currently on lockdown right now. According to a professor theres been an increasing number of incidents on campus. Well check back in with our reporter kiet do later on in this newscast. Once again, san Jose City College<\/a> a portion of the campus on lockdown. Traffic around the area backed up right now while Police Investigate<\/a> a possible gunman on campus. ,,,,,,,, huge hit, and was acquired facebook. Recently, instagram caused an uproa youve probably heard of the instagadget app that makes your instagram posting a Privacy Policy<\/a> that said they could do whatever they wanted with your photos. And then as cbs 5 reporter len ramirez shows us, they had to backtrack. Reporter when you take a photo and upload it to instagram, where does it go . We click on a button and it shows up on the news feed or our profile but you really have no idea of knowing where its going to end up. Reporter users may have a better idea and many dont like it. The popular photo sharing and filtering application raised a firestorm among its millions of users when it introduced a new Privacy Policy<\/a> in terms of service that many interpreted to mean their photos could be used in product advertising without their knowledge, consent or compensation. I think that they should be compensated for it because the companies are getting free advertising pictures pretty much and also making money off it. Reporter on twitter criticism of instagram was a top trending topic one user saying that photo of last weeks sushi dinner has fallen into the wrong hands. Instagram in crisis some users canceled their accounts. The school of journalism and Mass Communication<\/a> playoff says the policy flies in the face of traditional media terms of use. If you are going to use my photos to make money, you should contact me and traditionally thats the way its been done. Reporter this afternoon, instagrams founder pulled back saying the legalese was confusing and a mistake but the company says advertising is one of the ways instagram can be a self sustaining business and that they would like to advertise in the future. Maybe some of the fine print should not be as fine. Reporter instagram now owned by facebook a company under pressure to increase its Online Advertising<\/a> revenue says it will do that, too, making the terms easier to understand. Updates to the terms are scheduled to take effect next month. In san jose, len ramirez, cbs 5. Good evening to you, meteorologist paul deanno. Get ready for a very cold night.

Well be right back. ,,,,,,,,,, the warriors are about 30 minutes away from running wh e new vern glenn standing by at oracle arena with the sports report. Thats right. I tell you the w is about minutes away from running with the new orleans hornets. Strangely, on andrew bogut bobblehead night. I can tell you with this one, the ankle completely intact. Boguts been away from the warriors since early november with that injured angle. He has no fingerprints on the warrior success on this 7game, 11day road trip where the warriors won six games on the road for the first time in franchise history. First time since 1970 that they finished above. 500 on a road trip. They play eight of the next 11 here at oracle. Already 168, they dont want to give it away at home. You notice the confidence level rising. You notice a sense of accomplishment but also a group that understands we have done nothing. Thats what i love about this group. They understand that weve done absolutely nothing. Now, david lee has certainly done a lot. The warriors forward was named the westerns conference player of the week yesterday. In four games he averaged just under 23 points a game, 12. 5 rebounds per game, while shooting over 60 . Thats redhot also, lee had 7 straight 20 point, 10rebounded games on the road trip alone. We chatted a short time ago. The way you been playing, is this the best of david lee . Ha, lets hope not. I think i can get better. Im really excited though that, you know, that what im able to do right now is helping us get wins and, you know, made for a great road trip, 61. Im proud how our team started out this season. We have a long road to go but we take it game by game. Whats with you and steph curry lining the yin and yang. We are great friends. He is playing the way he is capable of playing. Whats the big difference . He is healthy. He trusts his ankles out there. And we all know how he can shoot the basketball and how great a player he is. We are running a lot more two man game with steph and i think year. Its causes some problems for teams. Im lucky to have him as my point guard. Whats that half suicide . Thats stephs thing. I got tired of seeing him running down by himself. I joined him and we have won ever since. The referee asked us before the game in atlanta. Have you ever beaten him down there . No, ill keep trying. How electric do you expect this game to be tonight . I expect our fans to be excited as usual. One thing in my three years here is fans love a winner and they have been starved of a playoff team and they have still done a great job supporting us. So i hope they are as excited as we are about how the season start out and everyone knows we still have a lot of work in front of us. By no means have we made the playoffs already. Go get new orleans tonight. You got it, thank you. Now, just across the parking lot at the coliseum, the as introduced their new shortstop, hirou ki nakajima to the media. The japanese infielder explained why he chose to come t oakland. [ nonenglish language ] billy beane is extremely sexy and cool. [ laughter ] thats definitely one of the reasons i wanted to come. As if billy beane needed more to increase his head size and his ego. Billy, were only kidding. Before we send it back to you, just a couple of notes. It looks like the cowboys justin smith may be okay to play in seattle. The results of the mri pending but jim harbaugh thinks the cowboy might be in there. Congratulations to ken venturi elected to the world golf hall of fame today. From oracle, that will do it. Its almost game time on andrew bogut night game [ laughter ] oh, man. Vern, thanks for that. Sometimes things dont translate exactly. Lets go back to that breaking news at san Jose City College<\/a> on lockdown after text reports of a man with a gun on campus. Cbs 5 reporter kiet do is live on campus where some of the areas are still being searched. Kiet. Reporter yes. We have been monitoring the Facebook Page<\/a> and the twitter page of the san Jose City College<\/a> times. Thats the local newspaper here. They are trapped on the third floor of the tech center this is where most of the activity is happening. This is where the first report of the gunman did come in. We did see some pictures that they posted. Were working on getting you those. It shows heavily armed s. W. A. T. Officers in the hallways helmets, assault weapons, body armor, searching room to room. So we do know that they are going from the first floor and working their way up. So since those guys are on the third floor, it looks like they are clearing that building very slowly here. The entire campus was on lockdown starting at 4 30 today when they got a text report of a gunman who walked into the tech center with a gun. We dont know if it was a fleeting glance at the weapon or it was a long hard stare at that weapon. But it was a text report by a student. We dont know if that particular person was a students or not. But they have not found any evidence of that person or any gunman here. No shots fired. Live in san jose. Back to you thank you.
