fight gun violence. the state is granting $830,000 to the department police plan to use the money to install a gun shot detection system in areas of the city, where the most of the violent crimes occur. the technology uses sensors, algorithms and artificial intelligence to detect, locate and alert law enforcement to gunfire. gun violence is a major concern of mine. i worked overtime to try and bring about gun violence prevention ghost guns are real problem for every community in every district in the united states of america, people, most people who who obtained ghost guns aren't doing it because they're benevolent gun collectors or hunters are wanted for home protection. these are guns that are made without syria. all numbers. you can buy these kits without a background check. there will be 80 to 100 devices installed in high density areas of alejo, the company installing them also wants to pair the shot spotter devices with license plate readers that are already in the city time now for 17 in martina is a dog that has a history of biting people apparently did it again and eight year old girl was bit several times outside of her home in martinez. her family says their neighbor's dog, a pit bull named spot became uncontrollable monday afternoon. while the girl was playing on a swing. her cries for help made her mother russia over there. i just freaked out. i wasn't afraid of the dog because my instinct was. i don't even care at this point. i just want to get my dogs and my kid inside the house and i didn't even know i thought he just bit her arm and so we were taking care of it. and she said, my back hurts and we lifted up. we didn't even know that she her whole back was attacked. neighbors say that dog has attacked people before, including biting and tackling one woman in her driveway last october and record show spot. the pitbull also attacked a homeless man in august under contra costa counties. animal ordinance spot was designated as a potentially dangerous animal and was allowed to return to people who live nearby. they're they're frustrated. that dog has not been removed from the home. the real failure here is animal control. in my opinion, they they're not doing anything. i do not. i do not believe that we failed in any way to know this happened before and now it happened again. whose fault is that? i put that completely the onus on the owner. there are permit conditions in place with managing that animal. now the dog is now in the custody of the county under quarantine while the owner decides whether or not to surrender the dog. we tried to contact the owner to find out what's happening, but so far there's no response. 4 19 time back over to steve paulson. we have a little bit of rain, not a big storm. moving in a
