Rapidly. Making a strong push to the north. If you dont have the fog, you can feel the cool temps. Most are in the upper 50s and 60s. There is a breeze behind that. That will pick up later on. Half moon bay and brentwood are the same temperature so you know it is close. A little cooler for atherton. Los altos is 59 and so is belmont. A lot of gray will peel back slowly for some and give way to a pattern where were warmer each day. All right, sal. 7 01. So far just the usual slow or something new. Yeah. Theres usually a lot of slow traffic approaching the bay bridge this morning, steve. No different today. We have traffic on the east shore freeway that will be backed up this morning through the richmond area getting out into el cerrito and berkeley. Although it is not unusual, it is slow here in this area. And when you get to the toll plaza, it is about a 20, maybe 25minute delay depending which lane youre in and if youre using fast track or not. The carpool lanes look good. No trouble on the bridge. This is a look at 880. It hasnt filled in yet. You can jump ahead of most of the crowd coming in. We have a lot of slow traffic on highway 4. Westbound highway 4 coming up from about the pittsburgh exits all the way through concord and 680 is getting slow in Pleasant Hill. Again, pretty pleased with the lack of major crashes out there. Weve had some minor fender benders. Right now we have a pretty decent commute here. 7 02. Back to the desk. A developing story in the east bay. A second shooting on interstate 880 this week. The latest shooting happened near the highway 92 interchange. Alex savidge is live in hayward now with what authorities are telling us this morning. And apparently not much, right, alex. Reporter yeah. It doesnt appear that anyone was hurt in this latest freeway shooting. That is according to the chp. Shots were fired along the northbound side of the freeway overnight just north of jackson street in hayward. As you can clearly see, all lanes of the freeway are back open following this investigation overnight. We know the chp responded out here this morning. They had to shut down the northbound lanes to gather evidence here. And traffic was diverted off the freeway. At this point, the chp is not offering any more information to us on who was shooting at who in this case or what the motive may have been. But, again, they do not believe that anybody was hit by the gunfire. Now, this latest shooting comes after another freeway shooting earlier this week also along interstate 880, about five miles up the road in san leandro. This was the scene on monday morning, when a driver was shot in the head and critically injured after a car to car shooting. Investigators still searching for whoever opened fire in that case on monday. And obviously we dont know if theres any connection between mondays shooting and the one that happened overnight. But, again, as we bring you back out here live, shots were fired according to the chp along the northbound lanes of 880 here in hayward, just north of jackson street. At some point overnight, the freeway was shut down for a time to investigate exactly what happened. All the lanes now back open. The chp stresses that they do not believe that anybody was hurt in this shooting. Send it back to you guys. Alex, this was the case that we saw earlier this week, north of where you are on southbound 880. Authorities say there are no freeway cameras there. I dont suppose that is the case where you are. I dont get a sense there are cameras where youre standing either. Reporter i dont believe so. Yeah. Reporter to be honest, im not sure. Im not certain about that. All right. Thank you, alex.

Reporter President Trump hoped to talk about infrastructure and had a prop ready to drive home a point. But he was almost immediately questioned about weekend violence in charlottesville, virginia and he reverted back to his original stance, both sides were culpable. What about the altleft that came charging at the as you say altright . Do they have any semblance of guilt. Reporter the statement was quickly denounced by trump critics on the left and divided some on the right. What trump did today was a moral disgrace. We have to be honest about the evil of racism and also honest about the evil of a far left that is trying to tear down both history and intimidate free speech in the country.
