We have an accident westbound at the maze 580 there so thats causing a backup. So if you are using the roads this morning, do plan for that. Bay metering lights are on. 20 minutes from the carquinez bridge to the maze. And we are starting to see extra volume on the northbound side of 880 through oakland. Southbound pretty typical as of right now. We have a big problem as well in cupertino. Car fire at de anza blocking lanes lots of activity there and brake lights building on the northbound side of 101. Now the latest on that breaking story in san leandro. A man was shot during a Home Invasion around midnight this morning on lakeview drive. Kiet do is live with the latest on the search for the suspects. Good morning. Reporter good morning. This is a quiet well to do neighborhood in san leandro and police say that they are troubled Something Like this would happen. One homeowner is in the hospital in Critical Condition. Deputies were looking for four suspects possibly armed but those officers have cleared out and now we are waiting for detectives to arrive on scene. Police say men broke into the house apparently trying to pull off a Home Invasion robbery. That husband and wife were home at the time. The husband opened fire on the suspects. There was a shootout. Cant tell you what the weapon in the house is at this time. He did return fire. Not sure if he shot first or what happened. Our investigators will deal with that. But he was telling our folks that he did return fire. Reporter the husband was taken to the hospital with critical but nonlife threatening injuries. One of the suspects might have been hit, as well. They made announcements out loud trying to flush out the suspects. Officers and the k9 team searched the house and neighborhood. But they got nothing. And so the shelter in place has been lifted. Officers will keep an eye out on the general neighborhood area. Were live in san leandro, kiet do, kpix 5. Attention, bay area drivers. We are just a few hours away. You can see how many hours away on this countdown clock from a major closure in San Francisco. Doyle drive shuts down tonight at 10 00 and it will stay closed all the way until monday morning at 5 00. Anne makovec is in San Francisco at the scene of where all of this is happening and will tell us more about whats happening over the next 3. 5 days. Reporter yeah. Good morning, let me give you the lay of the land. This is doyle drive here behind me. This is going to be closed and you can see how close it is there to the Golden Gate Bridge. This could mean epic traffic backups in the area. Doyle drive is the main San Francisco approach to and from the Golden Gate Bridge. Everything in red is going to be closed for the weekend. So crews can connect the new roadway and tunnel. We are asking people to avoid the corridor because quite frankly it could be a mess. Reporter the new roadway also called presidio parkway is almost finished. Now they are pulling it all together and putting up signs. There an elevation difference between the existing road and new one this weekend. Those pieces of parkway will be joined together and traffic finally used all four tunnels. That will mean the drivers on highway 1 can use new ramps to go downtown or to the marina. But nobody will be going anywhere fast. All the traffic will be diverted to highway 1 or 19th avenue. The worst traffic times are going to be during tomorrows commute the morning and afternoon commutes. Anne, this is the second time that they have said they are going to close the approach. First time back in may. They realized they hadnt fully fire safety tested the tunnels. I suppose, a this time its for real and second that everybody got the word by now. Yeah. There could have been confusion because of that. I mean, they had the electronic road signs up for weeks before that supposed may closure. That didnt happen. Now they have had the electronic road signs up again hopefully people are watching local news and have this heads up. Live in San Francisco, anne makevoc, kpix 5. Thank you, anne. The sun coming up in annes live shot. Lets take a look outside, roberta. Thats the scenario there. Sun cloud mix mostly cloudy for the most part. Chances of a thunderstorm at any time today and dry lightning. If you see any rain very light. Its live our hidef Doppler Radar. And we are picking up right there some light to moderate rain showers. Lightning in cloverdale, as well. Mostly cloudy and picking up some very heavy drizzle this morning due to this marine layer roughly 3,000 feet deep. Temperatures 50s and 60s will greet you out the door. Its going to pan out to be a mild day and cooler day. Numbers under 80 degrees 80 degrees with the chance of a thunderstorm. East of the bay 70s. We have your full forecast coming up at 18 minutes after the hour. Kate steinle will be remembered this afternoon at a private Memorial Service in pleasanton. She is the woman who was fatally shot on a San Francisco pier last week. The 32yearold was a graduate of Amador Valley high school. Steinles family is seeking donations through the go fund me website. Her brother brad say money will go to charities important to his sister. More than 32,000 have been raised so far. The u. S. Bureau of Land Management now says the weapon in that shooting was one of its Agents Service guns. That gun was stolen in San Francisco june 27 from the agents car. The suspect Francisco Sanchez claims that he found it wrapped in a shirt and accidentally fired it fatally wounding steinle. Its unclear what happened to the gun during the time between the theft and the shooting. And since the shooting much has been said about sanchezs status as an undocumented immigrant and San Franciscos sanctuary policy. That policy calls for San Francisco not to turn over undocumented people to federal immigration officials. Mayor lee and sheriff mirkarimi disagree to say the least about the interpretation of the policy. There was nothing in there that prevented our sheriff from picking up the phone and letting them know that you gave us you brought back to our jurisdiction a multifelony serious offender and we are about to release. For the mayor to come out swinging like this is the fact that the mayor is backing away from the very law that he supported and he is looking for a scapegoat. Thats kind of typical for this mayor. Well, prior to the shooting sanchez was in a San Francisco jail on an unrelated drug charge. When the charges were dropped, the Sheriffs Department released him without contacting i. C. E. And for continuing coverage of the San Francisco pier shooting and the sanctuary debate, go do cbssf. Com. Today a former 49er ray mcdonald is back in court where he may learn whether prosecutors are filing charges. Mcdonald was arrested in may on suspicion of Domestic Violence and child endangerment. He is currently free on bail. He is accused of pushing and pulling his exfiancee while she held a 2monthold baby. The Court Hearing happens this afternoon in santa clara county. Lawmakers in South Carolina voted overnight to remove the Confederate Flag from the Capitol Grounds. The final house vote happened after more than 13 hours of debate at times tense and emotional. The Confederate Flag has flown on the Capitol Grounds for 54 years. And its become a hot button issue following the murders of nine black parishioners in charleston. One legislator says the vote sends a message. We have shown how it can be done and how it can be done in a manner that is peaceful and respectful. I just dont think the solution that came over from the senate is the solution that respects everybody. The house will finalize amendments and then the bill could go to the governor as soon as today. And the flag could be brought down by tomorrow. Time now 9 minutes after 6 00. A tough day for tech with three major computer outages, what investigators are saying about the possibility of a cyber attack. And a big step forward in the effort to help low income workers in california. From the kpix 5 weather center, we have seen lightning and rain. And ill tell you just how long its going to stick around. And we are dealing with major bart delays this morning. Ill have an update in just a few minute we spend a lot of time online around here.

Everywhere else mostly cloudy skies, heavy drizzle will greet you out the door. Chances of thunderstorms coming up, well talk about that coming up. Its a step forward to increase californias minimum wage. Yesterday the Assembly Committee on labor and employment voted to advance the proposal. They will have to get through the Appropriations Committee before it can be considered by the full assembly. The bill would raise the states minimum wage to 11 an hour next year and to 13 an hour in 2017 with future increases tied to inflation. It should be back to business as usual this morning on the New York Stock Exchange after that shutdown yesterday. A major computer glitch halted trading for 4 hours. And there were other tech problems too that shut down United Airlines and the wall street journals website. Government officials insist it wasnt cyberattacks and they were unrelated. In my business you dont love coincidences but it doesnt appear there was cyber attack involved. Chemistry, biology and physics are intimidating subjects in school but a summer camp in the bay area is teaching kids even before they start school that science can be fun. The mad science summer camp is our cool school of the week. What do you know about robots . Reporter at this summ camp in san jose, Mad Scientists run the camp. This hook, smash, oh reporter is Mad Scientist energetic rick. The mad science camp is all about one thing. Its about getting the kids excited about science. Reporter mad science in the bay area has been around for years teaching kids as young as four to love science by Blending Education with entertainment. So here we are. Reporter this class if you havent caught on is about robots. All kids know what a robot is. Reporter but Mad Scientist energetic rick teaches them robots dont just come in the form of transformers or r2dt. They forget that the washing machine and electronics at home are all robotics as well. Reporter kids learn how robots work and are built and we lie on them every day. They can do Different Things and explorer things. Really like robots. I wish i could program one. Reporter the most important lesson says energetic rick is these kids become curious about science and learn its okay to be wrong. Thats one of the most important parts of learning is the wrong answer sometimes. Science is actually fun and not scary. After youre scared, you can just, um, you can just explore things. Wah reporter what do you think about energetic rick . Well, he is pretty energetic. Reporter kids exploring science in a fun way. He did it reporter and becoming a Mad Scientist for a day. I totally want to try this one. I think for a lot of kids its a scary subject, right . But when they get into it young and they start doing the fun scientist things first, they start really being excited. I want to be a robot engineer and a scientist. Cool to check with him in a few years. It also includes nasa inventors and chemistry camps. The camps are all around the bay area including santa clara and alameda counties. You know, rick seems to be a great teacher and it makes all the difference. It does. And all their attention is on him because of his energy. Yeah. And he does have a lot of energy. [ laughter ] and they could be budding little meteorologists because thats how i started in the third grade. Lots to talk about today . Its a mess on the roads and the rails. Its a tough commute this morning out the door. So this is footage we shot from chopper 5 earlier this morning. No service between the coliseum and the fruitvale stops right now. This is a systemwide bart delay from an earlier track problem. There was smoke coming from the train earlier. They are getting bus bridges in places to ease the mess for commuters. The lake merritt fruitvale coliseum san leandro stations are closed now and there is no service between lake merritt and bay fair. On the roads, the bay bridge backed up into the maze at this point. Metering lights are on. We have had a couple of trouble spots westbound 580 right at 980. There is an accident blocking lanes there. The right lanes causing delays through the maze. Northbound 880 through oakland a backup, as well. A car fire northbound 85 at de anza is brewing. Lots of activity on scene. Slight delays as a result.

We have light precipitation falling around the healdsburg area also guerneville, very light rain on the rooftops at this time. And we need it. Plus you see this right here. Its a marine layer roughly 3,000 feet deep. So its producing some really heavy drizzle on the coast into the bay and even into some of our inland areas. We are mild out the door. The winds are up to 13 Miles Per Hour out towards fairfield. Otherwise pretty calm at this hour. So heavy drizzle out the door this morning. Youre going to see a combination of sun breaks and clouds and with that unstable air mass, the possibility of a thunderstorm at any point of the day. This is the core of the center of the low pressure around i area. We are calling on futurecast and you will see just how close all those thunderstorms come throughout the day today. A hitandmiss scattered showers, no real accumulation anticipated but so far we have picked up. 03 of rain in San Francisco just from the drizzle. 80 sacramento today more thunderstorms throughout the high sierra where yesterday, golf ballsized hail did fall. With the sun cloud mix today the chance of a thunderstorm, the chance of dry lightning, temperatures 60s beaches, 60s bayside, 70s peninsula, to 78 degrees for the outside number.

Major bart delays in the east bay after reports of smoke on a train. We have learned that the lake merritt fruitvale coliseum and san leandro stations are closed. Chopper 5 was overhead as firefighters examined a train at the fruitvale station. The delay is because of an equipment problem on the tracks near fruitvale. A lot of fire trucks on scene. Paramedics treated a couple of passengers with oxygens, one person had an asthma attack. No word on how long the system will be down. Bart is all affected. So this is mostly going to affect eastbound commuters heading inbounces into San Francisco. But again, since bart is connected it is systemwide. Delays right now fremont and richmond the biggest. So eastbound into downtown sf. Use other means of transportation to deal with this mess. It is completely shut down no service between lake merritt and bay fair. Well update you on that. A lot of troubles on the roads now. We have extra volume because a lot of folks are avoiding bart this morning using the freeways. Extra busy at the bay bridge. Metering lights on big delays along 880 look at this southbound 880, 238 to highway 84. Thats a 23minute ride. Also westbound 580 Altamont Pass to 680 pretty sluggish also we are seeing again a lot of vehicles volume on the roads. Westbound 24 near the caldecott we have reports of a couple of accidents. That looks like its still moving okay this morning. Lets get a live look at conditions near oakland. Northbound a little sluggish southbound though most of the delays Start Building right around hayward. Reports of an accident the san mateo bridge bridge near the toll plaza in lanes. A bit of a backup because of that. Thank you. The search for suspects continues in san leandro where a man was shot during a violent Home Invasion. The ordeal began early this morning on lakeview drive and kiet do is live at the scene with the latest on the search. Kiet. Reporter good morning. About five minutes ago we saw a large team of detectives leave the scene so the police have lifted off the roadblock here. Now neighbors are free to come and go as they please. Quite a dramatic series of events happening overnight here in san leandro. This all started around 12 45 this morning when police say that a team of about 4 men apparently armed tried to pull off a Home Invasion robbery here on longview drive. A husband and wife in their 60s were home at the time. Police say the suspect the husband opened fire on the suspects and there was a shootout. The husband was hit, attorney to the hospital with critical but nonlifethreatening injuries. The s. W. A. T. Team was called in. San leandro police, chp and the Alameda CountySheriffs Department surrounded the neighborhood. They were making p. A. Announcements flushing out the suspects. They searched and found nothing. How much danger is the public in right now . I dont think its like anything else, you know, suspects do a crime and they will get out of the area as soon as possible. And looks like thats what happened here. Reporter and so that shelter in place has been lifted. Officers will be searching the general area of the neighborhood. We are live in san leandro, kiet do, kpix 5. Taking a look outside its a little cloudy out there, right . Its cloudy and we have areas of really heavy drizzle around the bay area and the coast and even if you are making tracks from the east bay over the bay bridge. Lets get to it this morning. Good morning, our live hidef Doppler Radar picking up some precipitation around the cloverdale area and you can see also see all of those lightning strikes over Mammoth Lakes. Thats really notable because its wraparound moisture and could lift up and move back over here where we are seeing the precipitation around highway 101 this morning. These are actual raindrops hitting th rooftops and we have lightning this morning. Cloud cover heavy drizzle in the city by the bay. Temperatures wise we are in the 50s and 60s out the door. A bit of a breeze today southwest 10 to 20. Anytime today we could see thunderstorms. But primarily in the mountains. 60s at the beaches. 70s peninsula and santa clara county. Upper 60s in benicia and vallejo to 70 degrees in san ramon. Almost 16 degrees below average. 60s to right around the 70 degree mark in san rafael. Southwest winds 10 to 20. Also again where we have seen the lightning strikes this morning is outside cloverdale. Sun cloud mix today. Well talk more about this coming up at 48 minutes after the hour. A big road closure begins just hours from now in San Francisco. Doyle drive shuts down at 10 p. M. And it will be off limits to drivers all weekend until it reopens monday morning at 5 00. Anne makovec is in San Francisco with more on this weekends work, a project years in the making. Reporter it could mean serious traffic backups. This is doyle drive here behind me so all the people that you can see that are coming streaming off the Golden Gate Bridge they are going to have to find a new way starting at 10 00 tonight throughout the weekend. And this could really mean some traffic troubles as all of the traffic is filtered to highway 1, 19th avenue. Doyle drive the main San Francisco approach to and from the Golden Gate Bridge. Everything in red is going to be closed for the weekend so crews can connect the new road and tunnels. We are concerned about traffic certainly on the friday and during the whole weekend. Its july. Theres a lot of tourists. We are asking people avoid the corridor because it could be a mess. Reporter after years of planning construction and detours, workers are putting the finishing touches on the presidio parkway installing signs that will tell you where to drive or in a worstcase scenario where to run. As for the last of the heavy lifting, that will come this weekend. Mostly what they need to do is get rid of the temporary detour and build up the new roads and connect them. Reporter look closely and you can see the elevation difference between the road youre driving now and the new highway. This weekend those chunks of finished parkway will be stitched together. That will allow traffic to spread out through those twin tunnels and use the ramps that have been closed for years. Theres still a year of work to do in order to complete it and bring it to its glory with all the landscaping but this is a big milestone for drivers. Reporter as for this weekends closures, organizers say the worst traffic times will probably be during tomorrows commute. The morning and the evening commute. Hopefully most drivers are getting the message today. Live in San Francisco, anne makevoc, kpix 5. Thank you, anne. A couple came across a live tank round in union city and took it to the Police Station prompting an evacuation. Yesterday afternoon, at about 1 30 a woman went to the front counter of the Police Department and said she had found a missile Near Railroad tracks and then she and her husband put it in the back seat of their car. Officers went outside looked at it and evacuated the surrounding area. Its about 3 to 4 feet long and at the base of it, it was about 8 to 10 in diameter and it was about 100 ponds. A bomb squad then moved in determined it was a live tank round. Officers looked near the tracks, didnt find any other explosives and how the round got there is a mystery. Authorities say anybody who finds possible explosives should leave them in place and call police. Friends and family will remember kate steinle this afternoon at a private Memorial Service in pleasanton. Steinle is a woman who was fatally shot on a San Francisco pier last week. The 32yearold was a graduate of Amador Valley high school. Her family is seeking donations through the go fund me website. Her brother brad says money will go towards charities important to his sister including the challenged Athletes Foundation and the performing Animal Welfare society. More than 32,000 have been raised so far. The u. S. Bureau of Land Management now says the weapon in the shooting was one of its Agents Service guns. That gun was stolen in San Francisco june 27th from the agents car. Suspect Francisco Sanchez claims that he found it wrapped in a shirt and accidentally fired it fatally wounding steinle. Its not clear what happened to the gun between the time of the theft and the shooting. A woman who survived last months balcony collapse in berkeley is gradually improving. 21yearold from dublin, ireland is still in intensive care. But she has been taken off the critical list. She is slowly coming out of an induced coma. She reportedly is now able to communicate with her parents and the medical team at stanford. Now 22 minutes before 7 00. New this morning, a stanford researcher says you have a better chance of winning the lottery than getting attacked by a shark. According to the university study, there has been a 90 decline in shark attacks over the past 6 decades. From 1950 to 2013 there were 86 attacks. 13 of which were deadly. They say the riskiest time to be in the water is between october and november when the sharks are migrating. The best time between march and may. Latinos are no longer a minority in california. The u. S. Census bureau says there are almost 15 million latinos living here. That edges out the 14. 92 million caucasians. We know for a while that we are growing in numbers. Weigh just need our leadership and, um, our financial strength to catch up with it. And some are working to teach fellow latinos how to run their own businesses. The population boom is because in large extent to immigration and high birth rates. Time now 6 39. Good morning, everyone. While most of the country is seeing gas prices drop, bay area drivers should get ready to pay a lot more. Well explain why. A man walks all the way from the bay area to san diego in a Storm Trooper ect lunge. But only one attempt to master depositing checks at chase atms. Technology designed for you. So you can easily master the way you bank. Good morning. Its 6 43. We have a chance of thunderstorms. The cooler temperatures are surely notable in fact, well below average today. And mainly around the peninsula and into our inland areas. Coastside in the 60s, otherwise into the 70s. East bay down from the mid80s to 75 degrees in livermore. Sun cloud mix throughout the day today a chance of a thunderstorm blossoming at any time. North bay numbers 65 to 72 degrees. Cloverdale a few lightning strikes this morning.

Well see you at 7 00. Thank you. Apple is seeing a dropoff in sales of its new apple watch. Heres kcbs radios financial reporter jason brooks. Reporter good morning. The apple watch is one of the hottest ever selling devices for apple in its first week, but some say it was selling about 200,000 watches a day in that first week but since then, sales of the watch have cooled to between 10 and 20,000 a day. And most of those are the entry level sport models. The gold Luxury Edition model which costs around 10,000, those sales are weak. This is good news for San Franciscos fitbit which just went public. It sells the leading fitness band out there, and its shares are up 5 on the apple watch news. There are a lot of investors thinking that players like apple will really pressure businesses like fitbit as they try to sell their wearables. First time unemployment claims rose by 15,000 to 297,000. Thats the highest level since february. However, a lot of those were due to always closing plants in michigan as they do in the summer for a couple of weeks to retool for the new model year ahead. The New York Stock Exchange is running just fine so far today after that more than 3. 5hour Technical Glitch that halted trading yesterday. The market is higher thanks to a rebound in chinese stocks. The principal reason behind yesterdays selloff. The big board looking good so far the dow up more than 200. Nasdaq up 58. S p is higher by 23. Back to you. Thank you. I dont see many of the apple watches but do you think those numbers about the sales declines are good numbers . Its hard to tell. Apple has yet to update us on the numbers. Wall street analysts are frankly all over the place. Some forecasted huge sales Going Forward while others have said, nah, wait a second, perhaps sales arent that great. I see them occasionally on people but really the evidence is anecdotal so we dont really know. Thank you, jason brooks from kcbs news. A victory for big tobacco in sacramento after lawmakers blocked a move to regulate ecigarettes. They gutted a key provision of the bill that would have defined ecigs as tobacco products. State senator mark leno who authored the bill blames Tobacco Companies for contributing to Committee Members campaigns. The proposal would have banned ecigs from restaurants, hospitals and public transportation. It would also require vendors to apply for a state license. A separate bill to raise californias legal smoking age to 21 also failed when it was pulled from the agenda. State senator henry perea said he didnt have enough votes for approval by the committee on governmental organizations. The bill would make california just the second state after hawaii to bump the legal smoking age from 18 to 21. A look at the bridge standing proudly and boldly and open for business since november 12, 1936, the bay bridge. Been a little dark lately but a light display is coming back soon. It was shut off in march. A permanent display will come back after bridge maintenance. Yesterday the Bay Area Toll Authority approved a 10year contract that will keep those lights shining. Expect to see them turned on early next year. The price, 2 million. Gas prices are likely to go up fast in california. Thats partly because of production reduction at refineries in the spring tied to accidents and labor strife. Last week the west coast gas inventory dropped by more than a million barrels. And fuel imports fell to 0 for the First Time Since march. If you need gas now, go fill up prices are only going up. In fact next couple day, prices in Northern California could climb by 5 cents a gallon or more and gasbuddy says by next week, prices could go up 20 cents. 12 minutes before 7 00. A lot of road trouble. Reporter its busy this morning. We have been dealing with major bart delays. We have some new video in that we want to show you about this trouble spot. It happened about 4 30 this morning. Major bart delays for an equipment problem on the tracks this morning. At one point people were reporting that you could see smoke actually coming from the tracks there and the train so its a huge trickle effect because of the problem. There was lots of fire crews on scene there, lots of activity as they dealt with this problem. Also paramedics on scene treating passengers with oxygen for record smoke inhalation. One person had an asthma attack. Again it is causing major problems for bart this morning. Mostly affecting the green, orange and blue lines of bart. Thats the fremont line, the dublinpleasanton line. Its completely shut down between lake merritt and bay fair. So im going to show you an overview of bart. So if you are commuting out of richmond, if you take bart into San Francisco there, service is okay, moving nicely there. The pittsburgbay point line not affected. A much better situation here. The fremont line, the dublin pleasanton line, all folks heading into San Francisco is where the problems are this morning. So we are seeing busier than usual delays on the Altamont Pass, 580, and 880 both directions, northbound clogged through oakland. Bay bridge busy well into the maze. Upwards of 26 minutes from the carquinez bridge to the maze for your morning drive. Also, some slick surfaces out there, roberta. Its been a little wet in some spots. Thats why my weather watchers are my compadres today. They are my friends. I need them to tell me whats going on in the area. 58 degrees would have to be George Hughes and what i like about george he already let me know he picked up. 04 of rain today from the deep marine layer. Meanwhile we have some rain according to our live hidef Doppler Radar. Precipitation falling around the north bay but also around the Mammoth Lakes area.
