Janine de la vega joins us live from sunnyvale to tell us how this all unfolded. Reporter police had this intersection at El Camino Real and wolfe road closed for several hours gathering evidence that they hoped would lead them to a White Mercedes sedan. The roads are reopen. But officers are hoping any witnesses will come forward. It started at 6 00 in the city of santa clara, where two officers were investigating auto burglaries and found a suspect. They followed the suspect vehicle, that White Mercedes sedan into the city of sunnyvale. When the sedan pulled over on el camino there wolfe road. One officer got out of the vehicle and approached the mercedes. Police say thats when the mercedes sped toward the officer and that officer feared for his life. I wish we had more details on the vehicle. Obviously, may have bullet holes on the right side. Were continuing to investigate and look into the matter and see what else we can find out. See if theres additional witnesses. If somebody witnessed something, i would appreciate a call. Reporter the second officer chased the mercedes on wolfe road but lost it. Neither officer was injured. Its unknown if anyone in the mercedes was hit. The Sunnyvale Department of safety is heading you the investigation. They are unsure how many people were in the mercedes and are working to get a license plate number. The detectives are also look looking to see if there was any Surveillance Video in the area that may have captured the chase or the shooting. Were still waiting to get an update from the sunnyvale of Public Safety department of Public Safety. When we do, well bring it to you. Thank you. A 24hour Safeway Store in san rafael just reopened this morning after a fire forced it to shut town. Alex savidge has more. Reporter brian, good morning. The Safeway Store back open after this fire that broke out here near the stores loading dock in the back. Store. This is where a trailer that was parked in this area caught fire. You can see that part of the store was charred there. You can see the wall and the burn marks there. But fire crews are able to come in here and contain the fire before it could do any more damage to the store itself. Let me show you some photos tweeted out bite the San Rafael Fire Department after they were called out to the supermarket. This fire started around 11 30 last night. That trailer that caught fire had a pressure washer inside of it that was being used to clean the store. That trailer was destroyed but thankfully flames didnt spread to some of the flammable and Combustible Materials inside the loading dock. The fire, however, did send quite a bit of smoke drifting into the store. That prompted the closure of this Safeway Store that normally would be open 24 hours a day. The store after they let the smoke dissipate inside finally reopened about 6 00 this morning. Customers were allowed to come back inside and right now, brian, investigators with the San Rafael Fire Department trying to figure out exactly what caused that trailer to catch fire. I think firefighters certainly caught a break here, they were able to stop the fire from spreading into the store itself. They certainly did great work from keeping it from spreading into a medical Marijuana Dispensary in berkeley can stay up and running while it defend itself in court. The berkeleys Patient Group is on san pablo near ban cost. A judge has agreed to allow it to stay open pending a hearing. In may of 2013. Federal officials moved to close the dispensary. The 9th Court Circuit of appeals will decide whether berkeley can join the fight. To have the federal government come in and shut down the citys dispensaries, any one of them would be catastrophic for the city. The leland scape is change the leland scape is legal land landscape is changing. A San Francisco water water manager faces a fiveday suspension for allegedly urinating into a sierra foothills reservoir. Coworkers saw martin urinate and this usually holds water as drinking water. The puc said the reservoir has drained at the time and theres no Health Danger to the public . This weekends storm brought a lot of water to the bay area. What does it mean for the drought . Lexington jumped 8 feet over the weekend. The santa clara Water District said the reservoirs went to 38 capacity. But they are not exactly celebrating. They are still below normal. Were still in a drought. Its just good to see the water in the reservoir. It was a good thing this was two storms one after the another. The second produced more runoff into the reservoirs. East bay m. U. D. And the San Francisco Public Utilities commission say the storms brought several inches of rain and boosted their reservoirs. Still, the biggest concern is warm temperatures and the snowpack is a third of what it should be. The north bay has so much water right now from the storm, Officials Say theyve resorted to pumping some of it into the bay. The marin Water District says they are at 98. 4 of capacity. Many lakes and reservoirs are starting to spill over from the storm. So the Water District is now sending thousands of gallons a minute out into the bay. Creeks and water falls that were dry are now flowing which is attracting many people to popular hiking spots. A San Francisco Ride Sharing Company is getting into the delivery business. Side car has been offering delivery in the city. Now it says its expanding the service to ten more cities.

The school is the first in the bay area to take part in this challenge. Officials say while it encourages the use of technology, including school issued ipads, its important to find a balance and take a break. There is a time where we didnt have any of this. I know. Hard to imagine. Hard to imagine not having access to it. I came in and couldnt find my phone, where is it i did find it. Coming up, rethinking police policies. In 20 minutes, whats prompted City Council Members in berkeley to reconsider tactics they want police to start using and so some of them can stop using other things. And next, Brian Williams steps away from the anchor desk. The latest on accusations that hes been known to bend the truth. Were still looking at a commute that is slow in maniaryias, including Contra Costa County and Santa Clara County as we take a live look at 280. Well tell but that straight ahead. A warmup is on the way. Before we get there, we have a much colder low pattern. A few 30s compared to yesterday. It will be mostly sunny but well talk about the extended outlook and that warmer weather. 7 13. The future of Brian Williams is up in the air this morning as the network investigates his admission of what hes calling false memories from the iraq war. Nbc news aired last night as it does every night with williamss name still on it. However, lester holt was at the anchor desk. Williams took himself off the air after he was caught embellishing an iraq war story, saying he was in a helicopter hit by enemy fire a few years ago. His chopper was not hit. A veteran war correspondent was willing to give him the benefit of the debt of the doubt. Things that you thought that you remembered well, they start to get fuzzy around the edges. Other stories hes told are being scrutinized. Some people are coming forward to disfoot his accounts of hurricane katrina.

Historic artie kaths from the first moon landing are on display after they were found tucked away in kneel armstrongs Neil Armstrongs closet. Perhaps the most exciting find is this camera used to record the film foostage of armstrong stepping on the moon in 1969. Take a look at this image captured on the telescope. Does it look like something . It looks like a smiley face. It does. The eyes are two distant galaxies. Astronomers say the gravitational pool between the clusters is so strong, it distorts time and space around them resulting in the smile. The ringlike structure is an einstein ring named after the man whose theory of general relativity explains such phenomenon. You see the round head an everything. Looks like a smiley face. No doubt. See if people are smiling on the roads or not. How is the bay bridge toll plaza . Its okay. I think i think its kind of a normal commute. You will expect what i show you at the bay bridge. Its backed up to beyond the maze. Its Getting Better in some of these lanes. We havent had any major problems. But its slow. Were also looking at slow traffic this morning on some of the other bridge crossings. Its slow approaching the Richmond Bridge and a little bit slow approaching the san mateo bridge. It does start picking up a little bit once you make it onto the span, as you can see from this live picture. I think one of the worse commutes is concord to walnut creek. We had a couple of earlier crashs that why in the lanes. They that were in the lanes. They are off to the side. Traffic is slow in the area. 580 as well. Weve had a couple of minor crashes and 680. So this area is its very slow. But for a tuesday, i think you are probably expecting it. 7 16. Lets go to steve in the weather center. We do have mostly clear skies. Its colder this morning.

Theres now word that 26year old american aide worker and isis hostage Kaley Mueller is dead. Her parents released a statement saying theyve been told that shes died. The white house also issued a statement confirming her death saying that Kayla Mueller represents whats best about america, dedicating her life to helping others in need at home and around the world. She was kidnapped by Islamic State militants in august of 2013 while leaving a hospital in syria. She was killed in a Jordanian Air strike. But jordan dismissed that claim as propaganda. We dont have any word on how she died. This comes as president obama could ask congress as early as today to allow u. S. Military force to fight Islamic State militants in iraq and syria. There is support to go after isis but the word of authorization will be the sticking point. Most americans favor an allout fight against isis including the possibility of using ground troops. Many democrats are hesitant to go that far. It will be the first war vote in congress in 13 years. Pack in 2002, Congress Passed a resolution authorizing president bush to use force against iraq. And that is a vote Many Democrats have regretted. New intelligence shows isis has been developing plans to kidnap more international hostages.
