Wednesday, march 25th, im tori campbell. Quite a morning, tori wednesday, march 25th. Im dave clark. Lets talk about your weather and traffic. Steve paulson is here with your forecast. Looks better. A lot of sunshine. Cooler on the lows. If you are heading up to seattle or portland, thats where some moderate to heavy rain, north of california now. We had our share in Northern California yesterday. But thats a good sign that High Pressure has decided to build in in a big way. We have a little bit of fog out there. Not a lot. But theres some mainly going north to south. Its not making much of an impact for inland areas. Mostly clear. Patchy fog. A lot of sun. It will be warmer for most. 41 napa due to the lack of cloud cover. There are areas in the 40s or 50s. A little cooler. Well rebound fast. You can see why. Its a roller coaster heading up. That means a lot of sun. Warmer temps. Above average, you might expect. We should be 62, 68. Most locations will be well above that with a lot of low to mid70s. Well see how long this pattern lasts. Heres sal with an update on the traffic. Slow but anything . We do have a couple of things. For the most part, the headline is slow traffic around the bay area. Well start off with the eastshore freeway and show you that the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze run is taking about 24 minutes, your average speed about 47 miles an hour and when you get to the bay bridge toll plaza, you will see a backup from the maze to the metering lights waiting 20, 25 minutes getting into San Francisco. As we look at the south bay, there is a report of a new injury crash. Southbound at bird avenue. I want to mention a crash. It looks like a bicyclist may have been hit by a car. It doesnt sound like the injuries are loyal but were trying to get more on the situation as we look at the peninsula, traffic on 101 and 280 doing pretty well. 7 20 back to the desk. Thank you. Pea begin with the San Jose Police officer shot and killed. The man accused of opening fire is dead. While the Investigation Continues this morning fellow officers are mourning the loss of one of their own, an impromptu Police Procession was held for the fallen officer, Michael Johnson. Weve learned he was a 14year veteran of the San Jose Police department. Hes being remembered as a loving husband and a well respected training officer. We have live coverage. Officers are paying their respects to officer johnson. We start with janine de la vega who is in the neighborhood where all of this happened. Good morning, janine. Reporter good morning, tori. Police tell me it will be hours before they open up this section of center road near up backer. This is where the shooting happened. They are still gathering evidence at the scene. People who live in the condo complex where that all went down, they are not being allowed inside their homes. They stood and watched a slow procession of patrol cars traveling down center road about an hour ago. Here is a picture of johnson who was a 14year veteran with the department. He was among the officers who came to the condo complex on center road just before 7 00 yesterday evening because Police Received a call that there was a man with a gun threatening to kill himself. When officers arrived, the suspect opened fire. The officers family has been notified with the assistance of our chief officers and chap chaplain. Were dealing with issues to help them through this process, unfortunately. Reporter San Jose Polices s. W. A. T. Team known as the merge unit ended up evacuating residents. After hours of trying to get the suspect out, they entered and found 57yearold scott dunham dead from a gunshot wound. Theyve not said whether he was killed from officers who initially returned gunfire after johnson was shot or if it was a selfinflicted gunshot wound. Police do not have a motive for what prompted dunham to shoot his neighbors who have been evacuated for hours. Spoke to us about how they are feeling about all of this. This is when you realize its not about you and i might be a little uncomfortable being out here for a little while but those officers put their lives on the line and the school darety that they show during around the school darety that they show during solidarity that they show is really moving. Reporter neighbors tell us that that dunham, the suspect, was married. This all came out of left field. They did not see this coming the at all because they described him as somebody who seem nice and polite. They say police had never been to the neighborhood for any sort of problems or disturbances that they know of. So they are also in shock and disbelief. But again, not worried about being inconvenienced because their hearts are definitely heavy with the Police Department who lost one of their own. Tori . All right. Thank you, janine. And stay with mornings on 2 for continuing coverage. In 25 minutes, ktvu fox 2s Tara Moriarty will have a live report on the outpouring of support this morning from San Jose Police headquarters. 7 06.

Police and the fbi involved in the search for huskins and they are continuing the report that she was taken by force from the home where she lived here on mare island earlier in week. They are also investigating the possibility that the people who took her demanded a ransom of some kind. Now, last night, the search for the 29yearold took authorities to the waters off mare island just south of the highway 37 bridge. Thats where Vallejo Police say search dogs reacted to an object of some kind in the water. Divers went in. They did an underwater search but they did not find anything significant to the investigation. Now, huskins went missing on monday or has been missing since monday.

Last night we had a chance to speak with her father. I know the kind of person she is, and i know shes fighting shes fighting. I know that. So that gives me a lot of confidence because i know what kind of person she is. Reporter investigators say this abduction was reported at around 2 00 this afternoon when a man calling from the home here on mare island reported that huskins had been taken by force but that report was made to authorities several hours after the crime actually took place which was in the Early Morning hours and that delay, according to a number of family members, is raising a lot of questions. Police have not elaborated on why it took so long for the boyfriend to report the crime to authorities. Yeah. Alex savidge live in vallejo. Thank you. 7 08.
