Are incredibly humble. I think theyre heroes. I dont think they view themselves that way. I think they view themselves that they were just doing their job.

Im just so happy to be alive and i want to send my love to those like the irbyes, the salazars, romeros that dont get to say that about their family. Reporter both were hit by gunfire. Brynn, a bullet straight in her back. Brynn and i were in a bounce house when we heard the first shot go off. And our friends were holding our purses. We were barefoot, and we ran out of the bounce house. Reporter they say they were running in the parking lot when they were shot. I remember gabrielle was screaming, i was hit, i was hit. Yeah. And i felt it in my back and i thought maybe i was getting a cramp in my side from running. It took a really long time until i saw like the blood on my hand to know. Reporter but they kept running until a Good Samaritan picked them up and took them to the hospital. Gabrielle was released later that night. Bryn only released today. I have a bullet in my liver for my whole life. Its remarkable, the two most calm people there were probably these two. Reporter still, they cant stop thinking about that night and moment they saw the gunman. He shot once, paused and rapid fire. I remember in between those few seconds staring ahead and he looked like a trained military professional. Reporter more bonded now than ever, gabrielle and bryn say if there is one thing they learned, friendships matter in morehaways than one. Check in on your friends. If theyre getting into a certain ideology, watch it. See where it goes. I think had someone like checked in on his Mental Health, like this maybe could have been stopped. Reporter in san jose, liz kreutz, abc7 news. The Gilroy Foundation has established a special fund for those affected by sundays shooting. We have a lincoln our website, abc7news. Com how to donate to the victim relief fund. Today is the opening day of the Santa Clara County fair. With the recent tragedy at the garlic festival, ramped up security. Unser joins us. Reporter you can see the festival already underway. Lots of new attractions for the 75th anniversary, one last minute addition, beefed up security. We see officers patrolling the entrance and more patrolling the fairgrounds and from up above. All right, welcome to the Santa Clara County fair. Reporter kell and i her kids are among the thousands expected to make it out to this years Santa Clara County frayer. She wants her kids to have fun. She admits the shooting at the gilroy garlic festival is still on her mind. We had a conversation in the car on the way here what to do. If they hear anything that sounds suspicious or like fire works, run and hide. Do the drills in school. Reporter she says as a mom, the extra sense of security is important. Walking in the door, i saw the added presence in the parking lot and at the door. That made me feel better as a parent. Reporter lori smith says this years fair organizers called her sunday night after learning about the Fatal Shooting in gilroy. She says they set up a meeting monday morning to come up with a beefed up security plan. Essenticertainly the gilroy t made a difference how we viewed security here. We dont anticipate any problems, but we have the Trained Personnel that can deal with anything that, but we dont expect it to be a problem. Reporter declining attendance and drop in revenue forced organizers to scale back in recent years. But new management in marketing is credited for turning things around for this years 75th anniversary. The increased security just one more layer. Do you feel good about that n yeah, i do. That makes me feel like i dont have to worry about nothing. If it was it would be contained very quickly. Sure you know what you come items youre allowed to bring in. We have a list on our website, abc7news. Com. Weve seen people who have had to throw things away or take things back to their car because they werent allowed to bring them in. Ama . Unser, do we know some of the specific security changes that were made in the aftermath of the gilroy event . Reporter yeah, organizers and Law Enforcement wouldnt get into specifics, but as weve been talking about, there has been a sizeable increase in controls. Its not just on foot. Theyre on bikes, golf carts, atvs. We know the s. W. A. T. Team will be out here all weekend. As i mentioned earlier, theelt be monitoring from up above. Ama . Unser, thank you so much. And there are also upgraded security measures at the Sonoma County fair. It runs today through august 11. Visitors will have to go through a metal detector. Every truck will have to pass inspection. The fair is spending 150,000 on security in 11 days that includes the contract with santa rosa police. In oakland tonight, waiting and watching, the ghost ship case is now in the hands of the jury who had their first full day of deliberations today. Abc7 News Reporter Laura Anthony has covered this trial almost every day since it began. Laura, what are your thoughts as we reach this point in this case . Reporter well, dan, at this point we are still waiting. The nine women, three men of the jury spent the entire day deliberating, their first full day of deliberations. By my count five hours today, a couple of hours yesterday. At this point no indication that theyve even come close to reaching a verdict. And they will be off now through the weekend until next Tuesday Morning when those deliberations will resume. Dan, ama . We heard, laura, for all kinds of ranges how long this might take. Its certainly a very controversial and complicated case. Any idea, any sense there how long these deliberations might last . Reporter honestly, dan, it depends who you talk to. We did have a conversation today with the Defense Attorneys. I guess the wisdom generally in cases like this is that a quick verdict is helpful to the prosecution. That means the jury has probably made up their mind before they even go into deliberations. But the defense is emboldened at this point by the fact that it seems like the jurors are taking their time. We did talk with a couple of the Defense Attorneys about that. Lets hear what they had to say. I think it will take two weeks. I think theres lots of issues, you know, enormous amount of evidence that they have to go through, and that would be good for the defense. So, you know, the generalization is a fast verdict is always a prosecution verdict. So i dont want a fast verdict, but i certainly like the way they started. The waiting part is definitely more difficult than being in trial, i think, because when youre in trial youre a lot more active. Youre talking with your cocounsel, youre talking with your client, youre talking with the codefendants strnz aattord strategizing, everything is moving quickly. Reporter and, of course, as difficult as it might be for those attorneys to wait for the verdict, you can imagine how much more difficult it is for the families not only of the victims, but also the defendants in this case. Laura, one more question, if you dont mind. Weve heard throughout this whole process a lot from family members who want to see both men convicted, but not everyone involved in the ghost ship situation is pushing for a conviction, hoping for a conviction. Reporter yeah, no, theyre not, dan. In fact, theres been a core group of family members who have been in the courtroom pretty much every day, and they come out and they speak pretty much uniformly about their desire for conviction of both men in this case. But i can tell you ive spoken with some parents of a young man who died in the fire back in massachusetts. They have not physically been here. I talked with them on the phone. They do not want either of these men convicted. Max harris in particular was a good friend of their sons who died in the fire. Weve also heard from at least one of the survivors and the former tenant of the ghost ship, that is carmen brito who spoke with reporters about what she hopes happens in this case. A lot of the argument against max harris is completely unfounded. I dont think he ever should have been arrested. Largely its looking like im hoping he gets out soon. I hope that we can all just put this behind us. Reporter and, of course, those are a range of possibilities. Both men could be found guilty of the charges, both could be found not guilty, or a combination thereof. There is a possibility of a hung jury, which means one or both defendants could be tried again. Of course, at this point were all just waiting. Waiting and watching with great curiosity, because it has been a fascinating legal case. Laura, thank you very much. Laura anthony reporting. We sent out updates about the ghost ship case through the abc7 news app. Download it now to find out when they reach a verdict.

Reporter today kicks off a month long protest. 30 days of action to close detention camps. The people in this country do not want these camps to be happening. Do not want children to be caged and deprived of healthy water and food and showers and to be separated from their families. Reporter each day different protesters will be outside i. C. E. From noon to 1 00 p. M. Some people say theyll return on multiple days. To hear about these children i cant sleep at night. I cant imagine what the parents go through.

The story from abc7 News Reporter wayne freedman. Reporter a quiet day at the Cal Fire Air Attack base in Sonoma County, though theres no such thing as a day thats too quiet, aboard this ss2 tanker boots remain untouched then its good for the region. Theyve been sitting here all day today. Reporter Perfect Timing on an afternoonheal fire made its own headlines at mekahlo clellan air force base near sacramento. Governor newsome invited governor schwarzenegger. The upgrade includes new hawk helicopters that can fly at night plus seven converted c130s that should all be flying within four years. When you have all these fires, people want to see something in the air. They dont see something in the air, theyre not sure something is really happening. Reporter c130s are neither as large or as fast as jets weve seen in past years, but they do have four engines and will provide a combination of nimbleness and speed. They can drop four times as much retardant as one of these smaller main stay s2s and they can follow an initial attack.

Its coming our way this weekend. Heres a look at live doppler 7. Still mainly sunny skies in our inland areas. Fog has expanded along the coast line. As you can see its about to move over San Francisco and its already moving over parts of the bay. This is the view from emeryville. Current temperature readings are these. 63 degrees in San Francisco. Oakland 66. Redwood city 70. San jose 73. 59 at half moon bay. The fog is getting lower and lower at the golden gate as you can see. Not affecting traffic, though, moving rather nicely. Its of 80 degrees in santa rosa. Napa 75. 73 at petaluma. Fairfield 79. 76 at concord. And 71 in livermore. And here is the view from mount tam. You can see the fog becoming a bit more prominent as it moves through the golden gate, spills out over the bay. Well have widespread fog and spotty drizzle overnight early tomorrow morning. Warming trend begins tomorrow and the warming will peak over the weekend with high temperatures climbing well into the 90s in most inland areas. Heres our forecast animation. 5 00 tomorrow morning as the commute gits underway well see quite a bit of fog. Not only near the coast but out over the bay. Some patches of fog moving locally inland. Commuters may encounter reduced visibility in some spots, but not for long because the fog is going to burn quickly back to the coast line. Maybe not before the commute ends, but by midday certainly. And well have a mainly sunny day over the bay, inland and even along some parts of the coast line. Well see sunny skies tomorrow. But during the overnight hours as that foeg has reached across the bay, overnight low temperatures will be mainly in the upper 50s so it will be relatively mild just about everywhere overnight. And tomorrows highs down in the south bay 83 in san jose, 91 at morgan hill along the peninsula. Well see mainly upper 70s to about 80. In fact, expect 80 at redwood city, palo alto and mountain view. On the coast breezy with lingering low clouds. Low to mid 60s there.

Inland on the east bay rather well see 75 at oakland, 78, hayward 80. Down in fremont. Now the inland east bay which will be just about the warm est region of the bay area with mainly low 90s tomorrow. As we look ahead to saturday, youll see it gets even warmer. Especially inland where well see some mid to upper 90s and upper 70s to low 80s right around the bay shoreline saturday. A similar range of highs can be expected on sunday. Perhaps a little bit cooler near the bay, but inland it will be just as sizzling. And monday well see temperatures beginning to drop off a bit. Back to a more seasonal average range. 0 so heres the accuweather sevenday forecast. After a little bit of inland sizzle over the weekend, temperatures normalize on monday and then going into mid week next week well see actually a drop below the average range of temperatures. Nice weekend coming up, though. Thanks, spencer. All right. Just ahead here, losing but winning. The ups a the market was on track for its biggest gain in nearly two months today, but at the closing bell, they have gone in the opposite direction. The diaw lost 280 points. The nasdaq dropped by 64. The s p lost 26. Its because of the president s announcement that the u. S. Would raise tariffs on more chinese goods.

Overseas and under investigation, now lawyers for two bay area teenagers accuse of killing a Police Officer in rome are taking vastly different approaches to the case. The two teens are from the north bay and at this point both of their families have traveled to italy to be with them. Yeah, the police man who died in this case is Mario Cercielloo rega, finnegan elder and gabe natale are being accused of killing the officer. Des has been in rome and has the update. Reporter gabe natales team is asking for Early Release saying he can stay with his grandfather in italy. From jail natale is insisting he didnt know his friend had a knife that night. Either an elder pushed through a crowd of International Media to see his 19yearold son fen since his arrest. Police say the 19yearold confessed to using this knife to killed 35yearold police man Mario Cerciello rega. Now the legal team is raising questions about the allegations. We need to ask questions that are not getting asked by the media in this investigation. Reporter i shared notes on the investigation with frederica, a reknowned journalist who covered the mafia sending 32 members to prison. Translator ive been working the last six years with protection. Reporter she is turning to the stabbing investigation raising questions about the Police Performance from the very beginning. Court documents say natale and elder went to the night life district to buy cocaine, and that a middleman with a back pack directed them to a dealer. But off Duty Officers interrupted the transaction. The dealer shouted out. Translator Police Arrives. He starts screaming, stop, im a friend of the police. Reporter the police dont arrest him. All he had was crushed aspirin. Police later denied he was a friend of the department. The prosecutors report said the teens ran off with the back pack and later called the middleman offering to return it in exchange for 1 00 euros and a gram of cocaine. The back pack owner calls police. Two under cover officers respond, but angelie says they handle it in an odd way. Translator what usually happens in a case of a ransom note for something that has been stolen, the Police Arrive after the exchange nfnt t tee befor bn policendin Cerciello Rega forgot his gun and he dies after elder stabs him 11 times. The elder family Attorney Says y being mugged. It seems reasonable to me that somebody, if they had a knife with them, might pull it out, particularly with somebody much larger and stronger than them, and start slashing the knife at them to get them away from them. Reporter police used Surveillance Video to track the teens to the Meridian Hotel and say they found the murder weapon behind a Ceiling Panel in this room that i found sealed with evidence tape. They arrest elder and natale and the long wait begins. Translator the boys arrived at 11 00 a. M. In the Police Station and the questioning from the judge set it at 5 00 p. M. So there is this gap of a few hours where reporter this happened during that time. Police blind fold gabe natale. They admit now to prevent him from seeing documents and computer screens. A judge has already labelled that illegal. All brought up by the defense. Taking on the Italian Police may not play well in the court of public opinion. Frederica tells me it wont have any effect in court as the case plays out in months. From rome, dan noyes, abc7 news. Dan has been tweeting extensively during his time in italy. Take a look at the pictures he tweeted the past few days. There he is in the purple shirt right in the middle of that International Media scrum. There you see him with his back to you. Follow him at dan noyes to learn the latest investigation on the development as soon as they happen, and well have his reports throughout the rest of the week on abc7 news, abc7news. Com, and the abc7 news app as well. Dan doing a terrific job reporting from italy for us. Sure is. Is it a piece of history or a time for change . Whats what were asking at abc7news. Com. The mural inside George Washington high school. Lot of debate about it. Hundreds of people showed up today to closely examine the paintings titled life of washington, referring to the nations first president , of course. In june the school board voted to paint over that artwor. As abc7 News Reporter Lyanne Melendez tells us, many of the people there today want that mural to stay. Reporter the doors to George Washington high school opened promptly at 1 00 p. M. For the next two hours, the School District allowed people to examine the controversial panels which have been here since 1936 when the school first opened. But 13 murals show the good and the bad times during the life of our first president. Some have been offended by two panels which show colon eyesers stepping over the dead body of a native american. Another shows enslaved african americans. Amy anderson is the parent of a student here. To her the dead native american shows they did not escape their troubled circumstances. Thats painful. Thats painful to say that my history is being told in a way that says were no longer here. Reporter on june 25th, the school board voted to paint over the entire mural. Susans daughter is the former artistic director of the San Francisco unified School District. Im in a state of such emotional pain to even think that a Public School board would vote unanimously to destroy art in San Francisco. Reporter the mural was done by russian artist victor arnatov. Today his grandson and great grandson were here at the school. To them its an opportunity to confront history, not erase it. There is so much here that provokes discussion about oir history, and thats the value of it. Reporter the chief curator of the San Francisco museum of modern art janet bishop says works of art have been this controversial in the past. But they were covered. They werent destroyed. And so i think that its really important to take the long view and think about what these murals mean to the city. Reporter in the fall, the school board will discuss the time line for painting over the mural. In the meantime, there are plans to put a measure on the march 2020 ballot, asking voters to decide what to do with life of washington. In San Francisco, Lyanne Melendez, abc7 news. Now, reaction to this has been really quite strong. Lets look at the results from our live poll running at abc7news. Com. You can see 91 of people responding are saying its a piece of history. Only 9 saying its time for change. Well stay on this and continue. Wed love to hear from you on this. I know the bay area is an expensive place to live. As we continue, but exactly how much does it cost . We have those numbers next as part of our commitment toe building a better bay area. The bay area is in a housing crunch, but how does that affect you . Im Michael Finney San Francisco mayor london breed signed the citys 12. 3 billion budget to thday. Thats the largest in history. It calls for Housing Construction and housing for existing low income residents. 53 million will be spent on Mental Health geared toward getting Homeless People the help they need. Housing is an issue that affects all of us no matter where you live and its why we have made it the focus for the next several days in our efforts to build a better bay area a. Heres a question. How much of a crisis are we really facing . Abc7 newss liz kreutz braeksz down the numbers. Reporter we all know the Real Estate Market in the bay area is crazy. You pay an insane amount to get a roof over your head. How bad is it really . Lets start with San Francisco. You want to rent a one bedroom apartment . The median price is 3600 a month. Thats almost a grand more than new york city. Okay, maybe you think hey, i can escape to san jose or oak. Well, both are also two of the top ten most expensive cities to renters in the country. Average rents there, more than 2600 a month, which is probably why one of every five millennials are living with their parents. Now, when it comes to buying a house, brace yourself, this one hurts. The median price for a home in San Francisco is more than 1. 3 million. San jose is right behind. And oakland, hey, you only need about 735,000. Okay, lets say you want to buy a house in San Francisco. You better be making 172,000 a year. If you havent started saving for that down payment, it would take someone 40 years to save for a down payment on the average priced home in San Francisco. 40 years. I would basically be retired. So is there any good news . Well, its hard to say. Experts say home prices will continue to go up well take what we can get, right . And abc7 is searching for solutions to the bay areas housing crisis. So tomorrow were hosting a town hall between 4 and 7 00 p. M. , send us your kwetz. Well find them on twitter, instagram or facebook. Tag them better bay area, and well see what our experts have to say. Should be fascinating. Ill host that town hall discussion for you. Coming up, what can we the housing crunch has affected nearly everyone in the bay area, of course, and 7 on your sides Michael Finney has been taking your questions on this subject all day long. Thats right. And here to answer some of those questions, some of the more common questions, you are here. Thanks for joining us, mike many. First question, linda writes, will my teenagers be living at home forever . How will they afford to rent or buy . How good a parent were you . No. No, no, thats very unfair. I think everyone is worried about this, especially young people. Now, there are many government and nonprofit programs out there to help them buy a place, but most dont know about that. So to get help, start by contacting your local city and county housing departments. And if they are looking at a place of their own, they may not be able to afford where their parents live when they start out. Im from the bay area. I couldnt live in my parents neighborhood either. Now, right now, many who work in the city drive in from Contra Costa County while many who work in Contra Costa County drive in from sew lana county. Why is that . Well, the median home price in Solano County is 450,000 and you just heard what a big difference that is. You may move back in with your dad. Im moving in with my dad tonight. Kim wants to know is there any help for disabled veteran trying to purchase a new home . Great question. And yes there is. Theres a lot of help. The Veterans Administration offers direct loans and va backed loans, very similar to you really, for current and former service members. There are also grants to help veterans make their current homes accessible with disabilities. Veterans in danger of foreclosure can also apply for help to cover their mortgage, i should say. You can find a ton of information and apply online. Where do you find that snfgs well, you go to va. Gov, then you look for and click on housing assistance. A lot of information, lot of help there. All right. Tina from fremont saw our stories on fake landlords which is an issue. And she asks, michael, how can i tell a fake rental listing on craigslist . I have to start out with the bad news. You cant always know. If it sounds too cheap, its probably a fake. Insist on meeting the landlord in person. And when you do that, check their i. D. Tour the unit before renting. Most important, never wire money or use a payment app. Never. Only pay by check or by credit card. Just assume anyone insisting on a wire or electronic payment is an imposter. Thats what we see over and over again. Ive never seen a legitimate person say, will you wire me rent . It doesnt mean it hasnt happened. Ive never seen it. Bust just dont take the bait. Thanks, michael, very much. Join the correspondization any time. Go to abc7news. Com and click on housing crisis. Youll find stories and an easy way to share your own story. So much information on our site. Lets turn our attention back to the weather foca. W hot its goi wencer. A nice warm upcoming our way. Its a good time to have a warm up. Heres a look at live doppler 7 at the moment. We have fog advancing along the coast line pushing out over the bay during the overnight hours under foggy conditions in many spots. Low temperatures will drop into the upper 50s. Pretty mild overnight, then tomorrow the warm up begins in advance of the weekend. Well see highs tomorrow in the low 90s and many inland locations, santa rosa, clover dale, concord, antioch, livermore, morgan hill right around the bay, upper 70s to about 80. Heres a quick look at hurricane eric, which is category 1 storm, still a strong storm, but it is weakening as it pushes westward generally toward hawaii, but not expected to make a hit on the islands there. Its expected to weaken. In fact, Tropical Storm strength tomorrow as it passes several hundred miles south of the big island, and could produce some showers and Thunder Showers over parts of hawaii. Maybe gusty wind, but nothing su veer is expected. Heres the sevenday forecast. Look at the warm up. Saturday, sunday highs to mid and upper 90s. It will cool off gradually next week. By mid week next week temperatures will be below average for this time of year. Its not exactly a heat wave. Just a little bump up in temperatures over the weekend. Thank you, spencer. All right. Were starting to think a little about nfl football. I know, we are. A lot actually, larry. Hall of fame game actually is tonight. Theyre playing it right now.
