But this is near the corner of park avenue in san jose, just outside of the downtown area. This car is underneath this flatbed trailer. And the Fire Department is there. Now, they appear to be talking to someone in there. And trying to reassure that person, im assuming, that they will get them out. Im not sure how this happened. This is near a construction zone. Firefighters appear calm. And they do seem to be talking to someone there. It seems as if they have the situation under control. All right. We will stay on that story all morning.

There have been more than 80 shootings on local freeways in the past eight months. Henry lee has a breakdown. Reporter damar cuss was shot dead driving in richmond on interstate 880, a victim of mistaken identity. He wasnt affiliated with any gangs. The 24yearolds last act was to save his friends life by shielding her body. It turns out that the gunman was looking for someone else. Doss died from his injurie. He would come to anyones rescue. Now he is the eighth person to die in a freeway shooting since fog 2018 and the statistics obtained by ktvu are startling. In the same time frame, there have been more than 80 shootings across the bay area. Two shootings in solano county. 33 in alameda. One in san matt wrote. Five san mateo. The most happened in Contra Costa County. 35 total. The chp said repeatedly that most of the car to car shootings involve gangs and the public shouldnt be worried. The chp wants to reassure the public they are safe as they drive the freeways and highways in the jurisdiction of as i have noted the biggest danger for most of the public on the highways is from traffic collisions. That does not sit well with the former or current mayors of cities along interstate 880. Innocent lives are being lost. And we want to minimize the danger to our residents. When you drive on our freeways in the bay area, the public is not safe is. For almost a year, city officials and the Contra Costa County d. A. Have asked the state to fund cameras to catch freeway shooters. We have had some funding committed by the county. Some funding committed from local police departments. To my knowledge, we have no funding that is set by the state or any other organization. San pablo and pittsburg spent money for cameras on the freeway. Smaller cities dont have the funds. The state is responsible for the freeway. Bottom line. So 2 investigates went to sacramento to get answers. I spoke with brian kelly, secretary of the state transportation agency. He oversees caltrans and the chp. Funding is an issue. Were going to have to find more funding for more cameras. Were working on it. What would you say to the people who are frustrated, why is it taking time . I wish i could have it now. People are dying. People are getting shot. What would you say to them . Listen, i grew up in the bay area. I care about the safety of people who are on the roads in the bay area. My family still lives in the bay area. So so i share the concern. We have thrown a lot of resources at this. He said his heart goes out to the victims and their families. I would express my deepest condolences. I cant imagine that pain. But he says cameras are not the only answer. I also dont want people to think that cameras will stop all things. It is an investigation tool. The chp says police and citizens and not cameras led to the arrest of doss killers but his mother says that it can be a deterrent to shootings. I feel like if there were cameras, there wouldnt be that many. This comes down to money, as people wait to find out if the state will provide funding. They have handed us the plan. We will respond as quickly as we can. All right. Henry joining us now in the studio. Funding, the state is having a problem. The governor is asking for 52 million to six highway to fix highways. What i was told by the Contra Costa County d. A. , they are looking into that gas tax as a possible source of oh, they are. Quite possibly. That new thing that the governor proposed. Yeah. Is mostly for fixing potholes. Right. But brian kelly, the state transportation official, said it is possible that might open up funds for cameras. You have been covering the story since it happened a lot in Contra Costa County. What do they say is the reason People Choose freeways as a place to settle fights. It is a fast get away. You have less cameras on the freeways. And evidence can often get lost. So these gang members, some of them are going after rival gang members. They follow their target on to the freeway and open fire. Some of them are innocent victims. Some people have the right car theyre targeting but the wrong people inside. Have they determined most of this is gang related. The majority is people targeting certain other people, gangs versus gangs. As we saw with doss, he was not involved. His mom is mourning his loss. Part of me agrees with brian kelly in regards to cameras are an investigation tool, maybe not preventing these. How about increasing patrols . Do they have the staff to park it on 880 for an hour . They happen all times of the day. It is almost impossible to have chp at all parts of the freeway. It is impossible to say can we have a cop at every corner. It is tough. They have so many signs. They tell us how long it will take to get here and there. It is hooked up to a system. And the metering lights. It is so simple. You have metering lights and cameras here. Combine it. It is not that easy according to the state. There is something called the wireless back bone that they need to hook up before you have cameras, license plate readers and shot spotters. Thank you, henry. Coming up on mornings on 2 the nine, a new push to add seat belts on buses. Its all in response to the deadly Greyhound Bus crash in san jose last year. Were talking about using them. Senator jerry hill is introducing the bill. We will talk to him live coming up next. We have an update on that big rig crash in san jose. We just learned that the driver has been killed and a juvenile who was the passenger has been taken to the hospital. We do not know the age and gender of the passenger. Right now firefighters are trying to remove the car from underneath this semitruck. And its going to be a while. But this is not a heavily used street. It is on park avenue. We will have more on this later on. Earlier this week, a new bill was introduced by jerry hill. It would require passengers to wear a seat belt while on a bus. Jerry hill joins us from his District Office in san mateo. Thank you for joining us this morning, senator. Specifically the loophole youre trying to close is what . Well, the loophole is that right now, federal law requires new buses to have seat belts. Every seat will have a seat belt on it on new bus thats are built from last year forward. The problem is in california and in every other state in the nation, there is no requirement that people wear the seat belts. So this legislation will require if there is a seat belt installed in the bus, you have to wear it. And the driver, there is nothing requiring the driver to wear a seat belt either. This would make sure that seat belts in buses, people have to wear them. It protects and saves lives. It did last year in the greyhound crash on highway 101 and 85 last january where two people were ejected from the bus. But two people wearing seat belts in the Greyhound Bus survived and had no injuries at all. Senator, how would you enforce it . Would it be upon the bus driver to make sure that the people put on the seat belts or would they be random checks . Enforcement question comes to mind. Well, youre absolutely correct. It would be difficult because obviously the bus is higher. Highway patrol cant see inside of the bus. It wont be the responsibility of the bus driver to make sure that the seat belts are on. There would be random checks when. The highway stops the bus for something else, they can check if they are wearing the seat belts. It wont be the responsibility of the driver to do that. The driver will have to announce there is a requirement that everyone wear a seat belt in the bus when it is operating. And there may be some signs and placards also identifying that. This does not apply to school buses, right . As a parent ive been amazed that the lengths that we take to secure a child in a car seat and then they hop on a school bus and there arent any seat belts. Well, thats very true. School buses are separate from this legislation. And there are separate laws that pertain to that. They are being equipped with seat belts now. There will be the same requirement for them. This law specifically applies to those charter buses, larger buses. Transit buses as well would be included in this. Senator hill, since we have you, i want to ask you about Governor Brown and his 52 billion proposal here. He has been talking about it in the bay area. A bump in the gas tax, vehicle registration fees. Are you on board with this when it comes to a vote . Will you vote for it . I will. It offers a lot for the bay area. The main part is a 3 billion that will go for road repairs. I mean, im tired of going down the road, dodging potholes all the time. Especially on highway 101. 1. 5billion will go to local governments for streets and repairs. 1. 5billion goes to the state to repair roads and money for mass transit which will really help the bay area. And 250 million set aside for congestion corridors. Those corridors that we experience a lot in the bay area. This offers a lot for us. A lot in the bay area. And for urban areas. And theres something certainly for every part of the state. Thats why i think it will pass. Im fully on board with it. I think it will be helpful and it is something that we desperately need to do. Yesterday it was a big talker among us and our viewers and we had negative responses as well saying where is the savings account. We have been paying for this. Why are we going to pay more . What do you want to tell the viewers not quite on board with the proposal . Sure. Absolutely. What we have seen is the gas tax has not been increased in 23 years. And if you take the dollars then and what we were able to get, it is about 55 buying power today. We have lost about 45 of the buying power of those dollars. With new electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles and with greater gas mileage on gas engine vehicles, were not paying as much as we used to pay for that. We need to bring it up to date and pay a fair amount. Frankly our cars are ruining the roads and we should be paying for that as we drive. This just equal equalizes a little bit. A staff person in my office figured his would be 10 per month based on the value of his vehicle. It will do a lot of good. One issue that is important is a billion dollars will go to infrastructure repairs. 500 bridges in california. 400 are not structurally sound today. It will go on for many years. Senator hill, survivor for joining us. Have a great weekend. You as well. Appreciate it, mike. Coming up on mornings on 2 the nine, why oaklands mayor says losing the raiders is probably in the best interest of the city. Testimony by former National Security adviser Michael Flynn in exchange for immunity. The latest developments in the investigation into possible ties between russia and the trump administration. The fbi is releasing new photos showing the devastation at the pentagon in the wake of the 9 11 terror attacks. A total of 27 photos are now on the fbi website. Some show fracturements of american fragments of American Airlines flight 77. And some show the impact of the crash just minutes after the crash. We have a link on ktvu. Com under web links. An attorney for Michael Flynn says flynn is offering to testify to congress about russia in exchange for immunity from prosecution. Now, flynn was a top adviser to the Trump Campaign during the election and later fired as National Security adviser after failing to fully reveal his contacts with russian envoy. Some analysts say this could be the beginning of unraveling the russian scandal. The circle widens. For the people who dont know if theyre the target of an investigation, any time that you hear someone say, ill testify for immunity, it means, you know, potentially someone could be ratted out. President trump is reacting to the possible plea for immunity from Michael Flynn by posting this on twitter this morning. Mike flynn should ask for immunity in that this is a witch hunt. Excuse for big election loss by media and democrats of historic proportion. Again, that from president trump. A man faces murder and attempts murder charges in connection with the triple shooting in San Francisco that killed one innocent bystander and wounded two others. Jonathan santos was arrested minutes after the shooting in the ocean view neighborhood north of 280. He is being held without bail. He fired into the street, killing a 65yearold woman as she walked to a bus stop. And i seen her laying there. So i started screaming. Here is a lady who is down. Someone has been hit. A 40yearold san jose man and a 51yearold San Francisco man were also shot but they are expected to survive. Investigators have not revealed a motive in the shooting but say the area has been the center of a turf war between rival gabes gangs. A gofundme page has been set up to help pay for the funeral. Contra costa county is getting nearly 3 and a half Million Dollars from a federal grant to fund the Head Start Program but the Program Director says it is a small victory. The new grant will allow the county to help 190 additional children, bringing the total to 500. But they say thousands will still be left behind. Early head start and head start are designed to help kids from the most challenging circumstances. One student, 5yearold lola is deaf in one year. Early head start helped her flourish. Its not judge university here are my kids and theyre going to keep them for eight hours and feed them and let them do what they want to do. Know they educate them. It is much more than child care. The director for Early Head Start says the county turns away as many as 2,000 families because there isnt enough funding. The programs director is urging people to contact lawmakers to support more federal funds for the programs. Recreational salmon fishing starts tomorrow. Roger thomas says everyone will be watching the skies as the boats are headed out tomorrow. We spoke with him live last year on mornings on 2. The only concern that i have after listening to rosemarys Weather Report is we have to have calm weather to really get out there and find the fish. There are several spots right now that we have been seeing good bait activity. Were looking forward to going out and putting a hook in the water and seeing what we can do. The salmon season opens tomorrow with a twofish limit. It will stay that way through the month of april. Fans are buzzing about the remake of the lion king. You heard me.
