KTVU KTVU Mornings On 2 At 7am April 12, 2016

Were looking at some slow traffic and going to start off with a look at our live Camera Network pictures. Looks like traffic to the golden gate bridge. There was no traffic, but now it ckz loo now it looks like things are open. Theyre running a traffic break and now everybody is getting through. Bay bridge toll plaza, that is backed up for a 20 to 25minute delay and traffic is busy. Slow traffic westbound 580 near grant line. There was a crash. If you come in from tracy, that whole stretch is bad. But if you get on the freeway at livermore and west of that it is not bad at all. As a matter of fact, it looks pretty good driving from livermore to dublin, over the dublin grade in to Castro Valley it looks all right. At 7 01 lets go back to the desk. A lot of people in the east bay are concerned about the report of another shooting. This makes 17 now. Ktvu fox 2 news alex savidge is live. We were talking to drivers this morning. Theyre generally concerned about being caught in the middle of one of these car to car shootings. Now we have another case, the 17th so far here. The chp is investigating the latest case. It happened here in the eastbound lanes of interstate 80 near San Pablo Dam road where we are this morning and it happened about 8 30 on sunday night. But were just learning new details from the chp this morning about what took place. The good news is nobody was hurt in this latest shooting. Authorities say a minivan pulled up alongside a taxi that was carrying two passengers at the time. Someone in that minivan opened fire on the taxi, hitting the cab, but fortunately not hitting anybody inside the car. The taxi driver pulled off the freeway in to a shooting in the parking lot. Thats when the two passengers in the cab got out and ran off before police got there. This was the 17th car to car shooting along the 80 corridor since late last year. Two people have been killed in this string of shootings. Authorities believe in all the cases the victims have been targeted but the ongoing violence still has many drivers on edge. It is really concerning because i do drive and take my daughter to School Every Day and i cross that little section where there have been all the shootings. You never know if its going to hit you or not or if its going to be someone else. But with kids, i always think of that, what are you supposed to do . I dont know. You think of the worst scenario sometimes. A joint task force has been set up to investigate this series of shootings. It includes members of the chp, the Richmond Police department and also federal Law Enforcement agencies. Theyre trying to track down the people responsible for these shootings. They believe they are motivated by gang ties. Many innocent bystanders have been caught in the middle of this ongoing violence along this stretch of freeway. There was a joint raid that was carried out just last week. There was one man arrested who authorities believe may have some connection to at least one of these shooting cases here along interstate 80. Beyond that there have been no arrests. Theyre hoping theyll keep their eyes open for anything that looks suspicious along the freeway and of course call 911 if you see anything that looks out of the ordinary. You reported the two people ran away. Are you getting a sense of whether or not they talked to investigators or are they nowhere to be found . From what we understand, it sounds like they took off, ran off from that cab after that shooting, after the cab stopped, and theyre nowhere to be found. This is really becoming a common issue that the chp has pointed out in many of these recent cases. The victims have not been cooperative. That makes it that much more difficult for authorities to try to track down whos involved in the shootings. Well bring you back in as we talk about this more. Time now is 7 05. In San Francisco police need your help to find the two people accused of stabbing a british tourist to death. Police released these sketches yesterday. The one on the left is the male suspect. The one on the right is the female suspect wanted in connection with the case. The stabbing happened on february 18th on post street between franklin and golf. Surveillance video of the attack shows three people getting in to a confrontation. Also in this video you can see the victim tried to run away but hes chased down and eventually stabbed by the male suspect. He died from his injuries weeks later. His niece was also there during the attack but wasnt hurt. Anyone with information about this case is asked to call San Francisco police. Time is 7 06. The chp asking for the publics help in tracking down the people involved in a sideshow. Someone posted video of the sideshow on instagram. It happened sunday evening on eastbound 80 just outside the bay bridge tunnel. You see what happened here, traffic came to a complete stop. In the video we see a number of cars doing donuts. Chp was called to the scene but by the time they got there, everyone had left. Police say they have a man in custody who they believe has been lurking around the Oakland Hills. Neighbors are calling him the ninja burglar. The first reports of him prowling around came in early last thursday morning. A woman saw him in her yard and then called police. But they didnt find him then. Then another surveillance camera caught him taking several bikes which were loaded in to an suv driven by another person. Neighbors admit the idea of someone sneaking around their neighborhood is scary. I would rather not have anyone like that around me. I have two kids. I think i would be pretty alarmed if i was at a clients house and was there by myself. Police are asking people who live in the Oakland Hills for anymore Surveillance Video that shows the man. One thing theyre trying to figure out is the object that the man is carrying. Still in the east bay, a man is being held on 2 million bond this morning, accused of a vicious attack at an orinda house party in february. Authorities released a blurry photo of the suspect after the incident. You may remember seeing this in february. According to the chronicle, the Contra Costa Sheriffs Office and u. S. Marshals detained a 21yearold man last week near san leandro. Investigators say the victim was knocked unconscious and remains in the hospital. 7 07. The next big earthquake could cause more damage along San Franciscos waterfront than previously thought, this according to a new seismic safety report. The report says a major earthquake, magnitude 7 or above on the San Andreas Fault will likely cause movement of the sea wall. The movement could lead to cracks in the embarcadero, possibly impacting transportation and could damage buildings. According to the report, the sea wall needs 2 billion in repairs to make it earthquake safe. Drop box is rolling out a new way for people to share photos and videos.

The zika virus, what its linked to now and how theyre trying to stop its spread. Good morning. Were looking at a commute that does have its problems. Were looking at 680. You can see how slow it is, getting out of walnut creek and heading south in to danville. We started off with partly cloudy skies at 4 a. M. Now every reporting station says cloudy. You can see why. Theres a lot of gray. Well see how that impacts temps. laughing theres nothing like making their day. Except making sure their tomorrow is taken care of too. Financial guidance while youre mastering life. From chase. So you can. Welcome back. Theres a stark new warning from the white house about the zika virus. As we approach summertime, u. S. Health officials now say much more of the country is at risk for the mosquitoborne disease than first thought. Doug with more on why the administration thinks this problem is going to be pretty expensive. You look at where the mosquito goes, initially they thought it was affecting 12 states. Now theyre saying the mosquito is potentially in 30 states, a huge portion of the country that could eventually be at risk here. Reporter it is the tiny bug with the sometimes devastating bite. But beyond that, we just dont know much. Everything we look at with this virus seems to be a bit scarier than we initially thought. Reporter at a white house briefing, officials for the centers for Disease Control and National Institute of allergy and Infectious Diseases painted a dire picture. The zika virus is transmitted by the 80s egypti mosquito. There have been 300 known cases in the u. S. All over the country but those cases are believed to have involved individuals who traveled to countries where the zika virus is already known to exist. It most notably causes birth defects. Baebss born with abnormally small heads. It may be linked to a nervous system condition. Those tiny conditions are headed north for the summer and we may not be prepared. This is an unusual virus that we cant pretend to know everything about it that we need to know. Reporter blood banks are taking precautions. People who have always donated blood, were now having to defer. Reporter already theyre tapping in to leftover funds that were targeted at the ebola virus. The movie thats being transferred over from ebola will bring us a little bit further but still not what we want. Theyre looking for about maybe 2. 5 billion in total. Its important to note the cdc is not talking about a massive outbreak of zika here, at least not at this point. A lot of people that contract zika dont show any symptoms. The problem is the symptoms, when they do show up, can be devastating. Back to you guys. Californians who take paid family leave will be getting a nice boost in pay the next couple of years. Yesterday governor jerry brown signed a bill in to law that raises the compensation level for family leave. Currently workers get 55 of their pay but the new law raises it to 60 for people with higher salaries and 70 for the states lowest paid workers. Most people take the six weeks of paid leave to bond with a new baby. Others use it to care for a sick Family Member. We want to do as much as we can in a creative way to make sure that everybody has a decent life and particularly the kids coming along have that opportunity and when the mothers can take off some time or the fathers to take care of the kids when theyre born or Family Member when they become ill, thats human. The changes have taken effect in 2018. San francisco approved some of the best benefits in the country, making it mandatory for businesses to give new mothers and fathers six weeks of fully paid time off. Time is 7 16.

Westbound 4, clearing a crash there. Bay bridge toll plaza, thats backed up for a 15 to 20minute delay. Weve been looking at the east bay commute at 205 on 580. Slow traffic there. Its not bad between livermore and dublin. The south bay doesnt look too bad, 280 has normal slowdowns on the way to the west valley. 7 16. Lets go to steve. Good morning.

Cloud cover is in place. Higher clouds are here. Might get a little drizzle, a little mist as the weak system drags across us. That will keep a lot of cloud cover, especially to the north. Hopefully there will be enough oomph to stir up the atmosphere and give us sun this afternoon. One system comes by then well focus our attention to this one. Late wednesday in to thursday.
