Good afternoon. Thanks for joining us. Im larry biel and im kristen sze. Yes indeed. Well continue to monitor that breaking news. But first a late night shootout at a hotel in south san jose injured two San Jose Police officers and the man who fired at them. Abc seven news south bay reporter Dustin Dorsey has more on what the early investigation revealed about the suspect. But first, dustin, how are the officers doing . Larry and kristen, we are happy to report that both officers are in stable condition after being involved in a shooting that involved a man with two felony warrants out for his arrest, 1 or 1 officer spent the day in the hospital with life threatening injuries. But the entire city is thankful that both are expected to survive. Our officers families got the call they always dreaded and prayed. Would never come, and we got a reminder of the courage it takes to put on the badge every day. Knowing you would give your life to protect the city you love. Some relief knowing two officers will survive after what was a dangerous night in south san jose. Acting chief paul joseph says sapd responded to this extended Stay America Hotel at 1030 thursday night. A woman called 911 to report a man with a Domestic Violence restraining order was trying to get in the room. Police say 33 year old san jose resident Kevin Briones had a warrant out for his arrest for possessing a firearm while on probation. They say he was recorded on an officers body cam walking away from the womans room on the third floor. He was carrying a duffel bag. In less than one minute after officers first contacted the suspect, he retrieved a stolen handgun from the duffel bag and fired at the officers. The suspect fled, running away from the officers while continuing to shoot multiple rounds at them. At least one officer returned fire and struck the suspect. Both officers were hit during the gunfire. One suffered minor injuries. The other officer suffered life threatening injuries but is expected to survive. You could go to this call a thousand times and nothing ever goes wrong. And the thousand and first time is this one. And unfortunately for this officer, with less than one year, just about one year of experience, that horrible day was last night. Police say briones jumped out of a third floor window to escape after being shot by officers, but he was quickly arrested. Inside that room, he was trying to get into a mother and her three children, chief joseph is thankful they and the officers all survived the night. I cant imagine what his motives would have been other than to do them some serious harm. And its just fortunate that our officers arrived in time to intervene. And they took that harm. The harm was to them and not to this Domestic Violence survivor in those children. And those two officers are two of the five that have been shot in the line of duty for San Jose Police in the last 15 months, san jose mayor matt mehan says more needs to be done to keep these repeated offenders from committing crimes and get guns off the streets to support officers and keep our entire community safe. For now, we are live in san jose. Dustin dawsey, abc seven news. All right, dustin, thank you. New ruling from the California Supreme Court could have a big impact on how police do their jobs, Community Groups say its an important step to prevent overpolicing, but some Police Unions say its going to make it harder for police to do their jobs. Abc seven News Reporter anser hassan with more a new ruling by the California Supreme Court may change how Police Interact with the public. I think its a very important decision. Sujin kim is a managing attorney at the San Francisco public defenders office. She says with this ruling, the Supreme Court of californias finally recognizing instances of overpolicing, especially in communities of color for, you know, innocent behavior, just being in the a certain neighborhood, and characterized as, criminal, the court finding it, acknowledged that fact on thursday, the court ruled to restrict grounds under which police can stop and hold people for questioning. It stems from the case. The people versus marlon flores. The only thing he did was he was standing by a car at night, you know, in an area that the police deemed to be high crime area and would not was seeming to avoid Police Interaction. The court ruled that police cant detain someone on the street just because that person tries to avoid contact with them. In her opinion, associate Justice Carol corrigan writes, before an officer can compel compliance with the show of authority, articulable facts must support a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity in the absence of such facts, the person is constitutionally protected and empowered to go on his or her way. In an email to abc seven news, tracy mccray, president of the San Francisco Police Officers association, writes, this is another example of californias criminal Justice System working to protect criminals. She writes, observing the actions of those we encounter is a critical part of police work and has never been grounds alone for an arrest. Obviously, Police Officers do have a lot of discretion on the streets. They still do have a lot of leeway. Theres a lot of ways that you can interpret reasonable suspicion. Doctor Francis Ramos is with Communities United for restorative youth justice or courage. Shes encouraged by the Supreme Courts ruling, especially because, as she points out, a routine police stop can quickly escalate into a pat down or detention. We are going up against somebody who is armed and who we have seen has the full support of the state behind them in terms of treating the average person, however, they think they should be treated in the east bay. Anser hassan abc seven news. Its been two weeks since College Campus protests against the war in gaza began. The first demonstration started at columbia university. The encampments quickly spread across the country to other schools, and this week, there was violence at some of those protests, including the one at ucla. More than 2100 people so far have been arrested. This is since april the 18th, with 250 arrested just yesterday. Abc News Reporter and wynn with the latest overnight a clash between police and protesters at Portland State university, with the building now forced, will be used against you. Authorities clearing out the psu library for a second time. Police say at least 30 people arrested. This comes as disturbing video from ole miss shows a crowd of students taunting one protester. Law enforcement appearing to urge her to walk back towards the barricades. For other protesters were not arresting kids. Instead. In new york city, authorities clearing out encampments at nyu, at least 13 people arrested. And just down the road, the nypd also arresting 43 people at the new school. A good operation. No one got hurt. President biden speaking out, urging for peaceful protest. Theres the right to protest, but not the right to cause chaos. Sources say the white house is working to improve Campus Safety by providing Additional Resources to Law Enforcement to protect jewish communities, and by cracking down on antisemitic acts across College Campuses and when abc news, washington. And now you have more protests that are being planned as graduation ceremonies start to get underway. Yeah. Here in the bay area, weve been monitoring encampments at uc berkeley, stanford, San Francisco state and sonoma state. Abc seven News Reporter tim johns is here with the very latest. Tim. Yeah. Kristin. Now, in contrast to some of the scenes weve witnessed on campuses in places like new york and los angeles, the encampments here in the bay area have been comparatively quiet and respectful, and University Administrators tell me they dont think these encampments will have an impact on commencement ceremonies. The tents are still up at university encampments around the bay area, from San Francisco state over to uc berkeley and stanford up to sonoma state. Students steadfast in their protests of the israelhamas war and calling on their schools to act. This right now is really a moment in history, truly, i believe, at sonoma state university, the encampment is now entering its second week. Students there making demands similar to other universities, including things like having their school divest from companies that do business with israel right now, were just listening. We want to hear clearly what they are and then think through how we can be responsive as a campus to that. In contrast to scenes at other universities around the nation, encampments here in the bay area have remained largely peaceful. At uc berkeley, protesters tell us they believe most of the encampments around the country are the same. They think its the varying responses by universities that have caused the different outcomes the university has uh to uphold this. Kind of idea that they uphold, like free speech values. Uc berkeley is known for its free speech values, quote unquote. Earlier in the week, representatives from the American Civil Liberties union visited the protest area at berkeley. The organization saying they wanted to inform the students what rights they have while protesting and what would be illegal. The First Amendment and california constitutional protections for free speech are incredibly powerful, but they are not absolute. With things remaining relatively quiet, both sonoma state and uc berkeley say they plan on having graduation ceremonies as normal, even though they tell us they are prepared for all scenarios. Uc berkeley has long experience with protests, activity at graduation ceremonies over the years. Theres always some sort of protest, so we are prepared for this year. We know that there is a good chance that will happen now. A spokesperson for uc berkeley also told me that the university has created a new buddy system in recent days. The idea behind it is that any person who feels uncomfortable crossing the campus can have a partner walk with them to wherever their destination may be. Im live in the studio, tim johns, abc seven news. All right, tim, thank you. Stay with us for continuing coverage of the College Campus protests in the bay area, as well as nationwide.

Well continue to monitor the situation throughout this newscast. Stanford researchers are sounding the alarm about a new danger connected to gas stoves. A Study Released just today shows gas stoves increase nitrogen dioxide exposure. So much so that it may exceed World Health Organization safety limits. Researchers looked at 100 homes across the u. S. Including several in San Francisco. They hooked up equipment that monitored the air that showed nitrogen dioxide, not only lingers in the air for several hours, but also spreads from kitchens to other rooms. Exposure can lead to a variety of health problems. As a stanford doctor explained during a virtual meeting, this chemical in and of itself can cause spasms in the lungs. It can lead to wheezing and then lead to protracted wheezing. And asthma can also make any respiratory disease like emphysema or asthma or infections in your lungs much worse. Children are particularly vulnerable to nitrogen dioxide exposure. The chemical has been linked to 50,000 cases of pediatric asthma, according to that study.

Abcs juju chang spoke one on one with a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, activist and astronaut whos about to make history. Amanda nguyen has been reaching for the stars as long as she can remember. I have a connection with the stars because its what led my family to freedom. Her mothers family boat refugees from vietnam used the stars to navigate to safer shores, and now the immigrants daughter is about to launch into an even vaster, unknown space. It has always been my dream to be an astronaut. We met up with amanda at the Liberty Science Center in jersey city, new jersey, a fitting backdrop for the 32 year old getting ready to make history as the first woman of vietnamese descent to go into space. Being the first vietnamese woman is to let every young vietnamese girl know that we belong. Its a dream that almost didnt come true. I, during my last semester at harvard, was raped. But juju, the worst thing that happened to me wasnt being raped. It was being betrayed by americas criminal Justice System. I found out that my rape kit, untested, would be destroyed in six months, fueled by frustration, she started speaking out about her Sexual Assault. My name is Amanda Nguyen and i am a rape survivor. In that moment, you felt as though you had to decide between justice and your life. Stream. Yes, and i couldnt live with myself if i chose not to pursue justice. Amanda was a Major Driving force behind both congress and the un, unanimously passing rights for Sexual Assault survivors. What was it like the day that president obama signed into law all that youve been fighting for . I let out this scream. That was i felt like a curse was lifting. But she never let go of her dreams to shoot for the stars. When you got the word that this group space for humanity was like, were going to get you a ticket on blue origin, what was your reaction . Profound gratitude. Amanda posted this tribute to her mom, grateful for her sacrifices. May i met a woman, michael am the dreams of my ancestors and i am so grateful that that part of me to the girl who existed before i was hurt, the child in me who loves the stars. My mom who crossed the ocean. I get to say to them, well get to fly to space. What a great story that was. Abcs juju chang reporting. Now amanda says on launch day there is a bell that all the astronauts ring before they board the spaceship. And that has special meaning for her because her family, when they were fishermen, rang bells to go out to sea as boat refugees . Interesting. Coming up, putting a dollar value on your time. And are you ready for a kinder, gentler robot . The fough discover the ozempic® trizone. I got the power of 3. I lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. In studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. Im under 7. Ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults also with known heart disease. Im lowering my risk. Adults lost up to 14 pounds. I lost some weight. Ozempic® isnt for people with type 1 diabetes. Dont share needles or pens, or reuse needles. Dont take ozempic® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if allergic to it. Stop ozempic® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or an allergic reaction. Serious side effects may include pancreatitis. Gallbladder problems may occur. Tell your provider about vision problems or changes. Taking ozempic® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase low blood sugar risk. Side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. Living with type 2 diabetes . Ask about the power of 3 with ozempic®. Think their time is worth a whole lot of money. In a recent survey by empower. The average person values their time at 240 an hour. Millennials thought their time was worth the most. Just over 328 an hour. Excuse me . While boomers said an hour of their time was worth about 137. And zach, just because i know inquiring minds want to know, did a quick calculation there. If we valued our time at 240 an hour, our annual salary would be 499,000. Okay so thats on par with what i make now. No. Just kidding. Look, i agree with this. You know, time is valuable. Its something ive actually had to learn from my husband. So im the type that will go to a store and dig and do all kinds of stuff to save, like 20. He has always keeps drilling into me. Hes like, no, my time is more valuable than digging. Ill pay the 20 for my time back. And so ive kind of learned that. So it made me a little less frugal. But i have more time, so i dont know. Its a toss up. You know, pros and cons to everything. Sandia. Thats very true. I completely agree with zach. I mean, time is precious and everybody is like just, you know, so running out of time when they have to get things done. And its always like rush, rush, rush. So i think you really cant put a price on the time, which is super valuable to so many of us. Yes. And my time with all of you is priceless as well. Oh thats cute. In fact, you should pay us larry. Well, all right, now were turning it in a different direction. Nudity is apparently making a comeback. I did not know it went away. I didnt either. Wow. Where did it go, a cruise line is offering a clothing optional cruise. They call it the big nude boat. Thats somebody in marketing doing a great job. Although you do need some clothes, like in the dining room, which, you know, visualize that for a second. You can understand that if you prefer dry land of the high seas, you can have a nude wedding in italy, the people behind the weddings say you need to do things right now to show your freedom. My sense on this is that the fantasy of what the nude thing is going to be, its never the people that you would want to see. There its others that are whatever. I think you should stop there right now. No, i did stop. Thats why i did stop. I did, i did, and interesting. I mean, this is norwegian. Thats the cruise liner, right. Interesting. Okay. I mean, also they have spas there too, right . Where people do they have to wear clothes . Maybe theyre more just freer about it. You know, i dont know, i dont know zach. Look like looks like he wants a comment, i just have questions about, you know, sanitary things, and i know were dressing for dinner on this cruise, but i have other questions with that, i dont know, but to each their own, you know, just, you know, theres a golden girls episode thats coming to mind right now. Anybody out there who knows golden girls knows exactly what im talking about. It wasnt on a cruise ship, but there was something about this. And thats just all thats coming to mind right now. I dont have much more to say this. Although, larry, you said what you said, and i cant say i disagree. As long as no cameras are allowed on that cruise ship. I guess the other thing, okay, italy is banning the popular wellness trend of puppy yoga. Now you know how it works, right . Puppies typically roam around a yoga class and are sometimes part of the poses, downward dog. Hello. Its cute, for sure, but italys Health Ministry says it may not be the best for the pups. They say keeping them out of class is better for everyones wellbeing. Sandhya, you got some thoughts on this . What do you think . Looking at the pictures . Look, i mean, people love their dogs and they love taking their pets everywhere i get. You know why italy is saying, hey, lets not bring your dogs here. But i mean, shouldnt it be an option for dog owners as to whether they can bring them or not . I dont know, i mean, how would they know what the dogs are thinking or feeling . Yeah. I mean, you know, if the dog would run away if he didnt want to be in a yoga pose, if he didnt, if the dog didnt want to do downward dog, he would not do it unless he was super well trained. So how about just, you know, worry about things that are important and puppy yoga, i dont think is one of them. I mean, its fun, but its not. You know, we dont need legislation about it. You see, speaking of dogs, boston dynamic, they have robot dogs used for a bunch of things like search and rescues, also policing. Theyre just terrified thing. Normally now theyre trying to make them seem a little bit friendlier. Boston dynamics revealed this blue furry costume for the robot dogs. Now, i have to admit, when i first was shown this video, i thought, oh, they dressed up an actual dog in a like a larger furry costume. And then i looked at the feet and then i realized, oh, thats another robot. So its theres two robots that are kind of just, you know, they could be doing robot yoga for, you know, for all we know. Do you think or. I mean, theyre very cute until theyre weaponized, but this is then and then its a different feel. So what do you guys like . The one on the left or the one on the right . The furry or the metallic . I like, i like the furry. See, im the opposite. The furry ones creepy to me. And then the legs. I dont know the top part isnt creepy, but then the legs, its just like, what is that . Yeah, i could see how little kids might be creeped by the one thats furry. So, zach, would you prefer if the legs had fur all the way, like head to toe fur . Is that is that good . I mean, maybe, but the coloring is weird, too. Imagine that thing coming around the corner just would terrify me. Yeah. Fur . No fur for that matter. Thank you. Thats it.

Sandia volunteers here in the bay area and around the world have been busy documenting millions of living creatures. This is part of a worldwide challenge. As abc seven news meteorologist drew tuma explains, theyre helping to expand the way global science works. This you cant miss the dramatic view at pillar point near half moon bay, but look a little closer and you just might discover a hidden world at this little hermit crab right here, hermit crabs are what i like to call opportuni boars. They will eat whatever they can come across that they can pick up with their claw and fit in their mouth. Armed with cell phone cameras, Allison Young and a team from the California Academy of sciences joined a small army of volunteers in whats now become an international competition. Its known as the city nature challenge, and the goal is to photograph and identify as many plant and animal species as possible in a matter of days. Oh, i want to touch it, but i will not. We found a bunch of sea stars. Always fun to find them out in the mussel beds. Little sea slugs, lots of anemones out there as well. I think thats a moon glow anemone. Different species. The events started nearly a decade ago as a friendly competition between San Francisco and los angeles. But biodiversity and Community Science coordinator Olivia Van Damme says its now taken off around the globe from philippines to madagascar and to kazakhstan. And its just really incredible. Were actually have people organizing and doing this challenge in all seven continents, including antarctica. Organizers described the movement as Community Science volunteer peers use a platform called inaturalist to upload images of their specimens. Researcher Rebecca Johnson says the massive data is already making an impact, and there have been about 1. 6 million observations and those data are critically important for me. But then for scientists to also other scientists to understand the distribution of plants and animals across the globe, the academy regularly tracks endangered populations like the sunflower, sea star and local kelp forests, both hit by rising ocean temperatures. The work is often as painstaking as it is vital, but perhaps made easier in the future with the help from a growing army of volunteers. This big understanding of where plants and animals are found come from the city nature challenge at pillar point, drew tuma abc seven news. The total number of observations scheduled to be announced later this month. You have to look closely for those tiny little critters. All right.

Alicia vitarelli, from our sister station in philadelphia, spoke with the stars of star wars tales of the empire. Theyre the voices behind two storied female warriors embarking on a journey to the dark side tales of the empire, i think, really shows some Character Arcs like big time arcs. Reporter Meredith Salinger is back as the voice of jedi turned inquisitor barriss offee. I know barriss offee has been a fan favorite for a really long time. People are asking what happened to bears . Just be glad youre not a jedi anymore. I think she moves in a direction that seems very dark, so to find her in this new series, struggling with what path she wants to take and what destiny lays ahead for her, what were about to see for her is very exciting. Diana lee inosanto returns as morgan elsbeth. My anger gives me strength it is that strength i offer the empire. It is a little bit of a darker story. Long live the empire inosanto played the formidable fighter in two live action series, the mandalorian and ahsoka. Now shes animated in a storyline that fills a lot of gaps for fans. Its amazing how theyve connected the dots. The stunt woman and martial arts artist is the daughter of martial arts legend dan inosanto and the goddaughter of bruce lee. In this animated series, the Lucasfilm Team managed to capture some of her real life moves. So while that the team would, you know, study all my martial arts on youtube, study my fights on ahsoka, mandalorian and do this amazing, these amazing fight sequences, thats how sophisticated the Animation Team is for lucasfilm. May the 4th be with you all. May the 4th be with you. I love it. The fight scene animation is really cool. Star wars tales of the empire debuts tomorrow, may 4th on disney plus.
