Now at 11 00 they shattered the glass completely. The protest forcing students to escape through a tunnel. Im just thinking why is this happening. And east bay police say this man had an explanation for why his wife and motherinlaw vanished until the story fell apart. Plus, the monster blizzard is gone, but try digging yourself out of eight feet of snow. From kpix this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. Hello, im sara donchey. Uc berkeley is no stranger to protests and demonstrations. In fact, theyve been part of Campus Culture for decades. But a group of israeli students says one demonstration got scary fast when protesters broke down the door of their oncampus event. Our itay hod spoke with a student who was forced underground to escape. I saw a girl get grabbed by the neck and shoved. I saw my friend get spat at. And i saw just how much anger and hatred they had towards us at this moment. Reporter for about half an hour last week, sharon, a 19yearold berkeley student, says she feared for her life. I couldnt understand, like, where this loud noise was coming from, and its just them going like, like this with all of their strength, all their might to the point that they shattered the glass completely. Reporter on february 26th, hundreds of propalestinian protesters broke down the door of uc berkeleys play house, where an israeli speaker was set to address jewish students. The demonstration appears to have been organized by a Student Group bears for palestine. In a Facebook Post the day before, the group called on people to protest the event, which was sponsored by three jewish organizations. I thought, am i living in 1939 nazi germany . Reporter sharon says the mob became violent, forcing her and her friends to flee through an underground exit. Whats going through your mind while this is happening . Fully mean, im just thinking why is this happening. Why is it that we, just like any other club, cant simply, you know, have our event, have our private event peacefully. Reporter on monday, the university announced its investigating the incident as a hate crime, slamming the protest as unacceptable. But sharon says shes been feeling uneasy for a while now by things like the palestinian flags at the universitys iconic gate. Almost every time i see it i do have a visceral reaction to it. It does make me feel extremely uncomfortable. Reporter and its not just at berkeley. A recent survey by the Antidefamation League found that since the start of the school year, nearly three in four jewish students had experienced or witnessed antisemitism. Ever since hamas attacked israel on october 7th, sharons parents have begged her not to wear her star of david in public, but sharon says she wont be intimidated. This is a symbol of my people, and if someone gives me a dirty look for it or try to ostracize me for it, i dont care, because this is who i am. We did reach out to the Campus Organization bears for palestine multiple times since last week. We did want to hear their side of the story. As of tonight, we have not heard back. Uc berkeley gave us a statement saying they received reports of overt antisemitism, including allegations of physical battery. Meanwhile, major hung ser gripping the gaza strip. A huge shortage of food and clean water. Its a challenge for trucks to get aid to the most vulnerable people, especially in the north. In the south there was chaos at this aid delivery convoy in rafah where desperate palestinians scrambled for flour to feed their families. Unicef says a growing number of children in gaza are dying of dehydration and malnutrition. An Emergency Room Physician from the bay area is seeing this absolute devastation firsthand. Hes been in gaza for several weeks now treating trauma patients in tents. Here the Healthcare Infrastructure has been completely destroyed. Were essentially the only trauma facility and were operating out of tents to take care of any traumatic injuries. Just yesterday, i mean, my first were pediatric patients. One is not the arm while he was sleeping in the tent, another two kids pulled out of the rubble. At the same time, hamas and egyptian mediators have been going ahead with talks far ceasefire, even though israel has not sent a delegation to those talks. The Biden Administration says a ceasefire could begin in time for ramadan, which begins on sunday. Back here in california, tomorrow is the march primary.

It looks scary enough close up, but tonight the explosions coming from this warehouse are prompting warnings to people a mile away. Plus, they vanished nearly six months ago. Now prosecutors are trying to prove this man killed them without the biggest piece of evidence of all. And when theres too much snow for skiing, its clear theres a problem. The big deal in the sierra tonight. As they dig out, we get a little break from the shower activity, at least most of the bay area has seen some dry conditions taking over. Well check the few remaining showers as we head through the next 24 hours and another chance of rain thats headed our way. Coming up in the first alert forecast. Looking forward to it, paul. And later, when tumbling tumbleweeds take over your town, what else can you do but roll with it . I have been out of work before. I dont know if you ever heard what do i see in peter dixon . I see my husband. The father of our girls. I see a public servant. A man who served under secretary clinton in the state department. Where he took on the epidemic of violence against women in the congo. I see a fighter, a tenacious problemsolver. Who will go to congress and protect abortion rights and our democracy. Because he sees a Better Future for all of us. Im peter dixon and i approved this message. How did i ever miss this . Before you were preventing migraine with qulipta . Youll never truly forget migraine, but zeromigraine days are possible. Dont take if allergic to qulipta. Most common side effects are nausea, constipation and sleepiness. Qulipta. The forgetyougetmigraine medicine. When i have pain from arthritis i grab biofreeze. Unlike voltaren, biofreeze provides fastacting relief i can apply it to more areas of my body. And its nsaidfree. Cool the pain so i can get back on the court. You can just hear how powerful that is. This was a massive explosion at a factory in michigan thats sending debris raining down a mile away. In fact, its hundreds of explosions, some of them all at once. Theyve been going on for hours now, but so far theres no word on exactly what is inside of that building or how it caught fire in the first place. Back here in the bay area, eyes in the sky helped Vallejo Police strak down a sideshow suspect. A chp helicopter followed a man who was apparently doing donuts in an intersection in vallejo. He jumped into another car but couldnt get away from the helicopter that led police on the ground right to him. One east Bay Police Department says a 40yearold man had an explanation ready when his wife and motherinlaw vanished, but officers say that excuse fell apart and hes now accused of murdering them. His 40yearold wife and 70yearold mother were last seen in september. The husband told police they drove to Southern California after a family argument, but the two of them still have not turned up. And despite the fact that no bodies have been found, police say they have evidence the women were murdered. Tonight the husband is facing two counts. Up in the sierra, the monster blizzard has brown through, but its left behind ten feet piles of snow. Emily schmidt shows us how people are digging out. Reporter when the years biggest snowfall closed down the ski resort at tahoe, the proof was there from the door and the windshield. The resorts social media page showing massive snow drifts, reporting 100mileperhour winds. The kind of storm another resort director says he hopes for. This is setting us up for the rest of the year. S that great storm. I keep my fingers crossed, because theyve kind of let us down a few time this is year. I was kind of like are we going to get three or four feet reporter instead measurements ranged from seven to more than ten feet, stranding cars and drivers. Caltrans shared video showing vehicles briefly trapped on highway 50 over the weekend. Hundreds of vehicles headed to and from tahoe felt the impact as snow piled up. Whiteout conditions, theyre not letting anybody through. Yeah, you giving up . Yeah. Reporter monday more than 70 miles of interstate 80 opened after more than a day shut down. Chains were required to get over the donner pass. The snow made for quick slides down but the biggest impact may be what went up. For the first time this winter, the California Department of Water Resources says the statewide snow water equivalent, thats how much water is in the snow, is above average. More snow now means more snow melt later. Promising a critical water source for the state in warmer weather when this winter storm is just a distant memory. At palisades tahoe, strong winds caused some problem, actually blew out the windows in this part of the building that controls the ski lift. Completely filling it with snow, as you see. A lot to clean up there. Other at sierra at tahoe, theyve been trying to dig out of this, the bottom of one of their chair lifts was buried this afternoon. Our kelsi thorud has been a trooper this week covering this storm from truckee and standing out in the blizzard doing her live shot after live shot for hours. At one point she and her photographer jim could pairly get out of their Hotel Parking lot. But with interstate 80 back open, they managed to finally make it out today. Here we go, were at the summit. So this is how things are looking up here. Its still down to just one lane of traffic. And now were starting to make our way down hill, but you can see all the snow. Yeah, paul had been talking about it for days in no uncertain terms. Paul, i have to say, you were very clear. Youre very clear when you say do not drive to the mountains when it gets like that. And we saw so many people we were just talking about it before the show so many people stuck. I08 was closed for days. The reason is just a ton of snow. These are the amounts that piled up in the sierra. Sugar bowl, 10. 5 feet of snow. Thats just a mind boggling number. Soda springs was close to that, just under ten feet. Eight feet on the dot at palisades tahoe, and a 190mileanhour wind gust, one of the peaks above palisades. The Central Sierra Snow Lab picked up just over six feet of snow out of this system. The snow showers are winding down, and it has made a huge difference. The average of the percentage of average where we were a couple months ago was 25 of normal snowfall as of late january. But as excuse me, late december, early january. Its monday, my brain hasnt kicked in yet. Weve caught up to what is normal this time of year. When you total up the three regions, were very slightly above whats normal. Showers over the north bay, similar activities in storm for us tomorrow. Its not going to add up to a whole lot. Were going to be seeing just a chance for a few showers here and there, mostly more miss than hit, but theres still a chance, so grab the umbrella, the rain jacket as youre heading out early tomorrow morning. Lets take a look at how much rain did accumulate. Well see if i can speak clearly for the rest of this weathercast. The amounts are variable depending on where those heaviest downpours set up. In general, we expected about an inch to two inches of total rainfall out of the dours of the four days of wet weather we experienced, and thats about what we added up. Some spots falling a little bit short, but almost two inches of total rainfall for downtown san francisco. Also just short of two inches of rain around novato. The Santa Cruz Mountains picked up more than 3 inches of rain over the course of that fourday timeframe from thursday through yesterday with some of those lingering showers still out there today. Theres another chance of rain heading our way on wednesday, so lets pick up futurecast and start the clock here wednesday morning when most of us are still going to be dry. The bulk of the energy with this system, bulk of the moisture is going to miss us to the south. Gives us one of our better chances of rain as we head through wednesday into wednesday afternoon. But its not going to amount to very much at all. Less than 0. 25 an inch of rain pretty much across the board. Its not a guarantee everybody is going to see measurable rain. A 50 50 chance. The unsettled weather pat certain going to continue. The six to ten day outlook from the Climate Prediction Center takes us through the weekend into the first half of next week. Its a good chance of wetter than normal conditions in that timeframe. Beyond the sevenday forecast the eight to 14day outlook sends us back into a normal midmarch weather pattern, which means some rain chances, but they should get spaced out more as we head farther into the month of march. Right now as we look towards downtown, seeing a mix of clear skies and a lot of cloud cover as well thats keeping temperatures from teardroping off too far. Down to 46 in livermore, 49 in santa rosa. Everybody else still in the 50s. Mostly leveling off in the 40s as we head through the rest of tonight with temperatures being held up a little bit by that layer of clouds overhead, keeping too much of the warmth from today from escaping into space, what little warmth we had with temperatures running five to seven degrees below average. The best chance of showers is going to be for the north bay. Thats where temperatures are cooler, upper 50s to around 60 degrees. Most of the rest of the bay area in the low to mid60s, which is close to if maybe still a degree or two below whats normal for this time of year. We do have warmer temperatures late they are week to go along with a break in the rain chances, so theres some good news, what youve been waiting for. After scattered showers on wednesday we get a couple of dry days, thursday and friday. A some of the warmest spots close to 70 degrees to finish off the workweek. It would not be a weekend in 2024 without at least one chance of rain. And thats going to arrive on saturday. That looks pretty light, but itll be out there. Dry weather on sunday and then yet another chance of rain heads our way monday and tuesday of next week. Eventually were going put together a stretch of three, four, five consecutive dry days. Its just not going to happen any time soon, sara . Oh my gosh. And its a monday. You cant talk, my ear piece is falling out. How are we even going to get through . Mass hysteria. To 11 35. 15 minutes to go. Vern is going to carry us through a lot of it, thank goodness. The blizzard put a lot of peoples weekend plans on hold, but not one bride and groom. Chloe and chris tied the knot surround bid fresh snow at a golf resort in truckee. Sleeveless, thats brave. The whiteout made it a perfect background for photos. The bride was upset about the weather at first but decided it wasnt going to stop her from celebrating her big day. Monday and tuesday i think i cried more than i have ever in my life. Wednesday my planner thought i was going to cancel it, but she was a trooper and just kept the show going on. The photos came out really nice. The couple had originally invited more than 160 people. Only 70 of them were actually able to make it. There was some real horsepower on a freeway in ohio today, and youll never believe where these two fugitives escaped from. Vern . Straight ahead in sport, we got the top two Boys High School basketball teams battling it out for state tomorrow night. And another former athletics player looking to shine for the giants to the delight of the manager. I have been trying to gauge giants fans excitement heading into the season. Right. Its been a mixed bag. Some frustration. Hes trying. Hes still trying to piece some things together. He knows people dont want to see, whos number 74. Yeah. They dont what to do that. So hes working on some things. We got baseball up top, folks. About three and a half weeks away from opening day and the giants are still filling up its roster. Look at matt chapman in the cage. Scottsdale today. The giant os officially introduced the new third baseman to do this at the hot corner. Can you see why hes a fourtype gold glover . Played the last two seasons in toronto, but before that spent five seasons in oakland with then manager bob melvin, reaching the postseason three times. Before that the team was broken up. Just seems like it was destiny. I think we got some unfinished business. Have an opportunity to be in an organization like the giant, you know a team thats not afraid to spend a team thats not afraid to go get free agents and keep guys together and keep adding, all the things you would expect, you know a winning franchise to do. Now we have the opportunity to do that here. And i couldnt be more excited to be a part of that. Meantime, former as third baseman Josh Donaldson said adios career today after 13 seasons. Bringer of rain was his twitter handle because he could rake and hit them high. The all star had reached the playoffs three times in oakland then won the al mvp with toronto in 2015. Switching to the nfl. K. J. Wright, who spent ten years as a seattle linebacker, will join san franciscos staff as an assistant linebackers coach. Wright had been hosting a podcast and was a multiple guest on the red and gold report. Yeah. Local high school basketball. 14 bay area schools will be playing tuesday for a chance to reach the state championships. The biggest boys matchup will be the open Division Final between number one seed solesion and archbishop reardon. Solesion is 3061 looking for their first ever open state title. But the pride, they know that winning tomorrow would also be huge. Itll be one step closer to where we all want to get to. And if we were to win, you know, the job wouldnt be finished, we still have one more game left. But to win tomorrow it would be really big. Its a group that deserves every accolade that comes their way. We know its not going to be easy. We know that these game sometimes come down to one or two plays. But it would be a lot of fun if we could get a couple more wins. Thatd be great. Coach doesnt have to say much. Shows up, blows a little whistle, and the boys know exactly how to run their practice. And did you know that reardon has won 16 straight games . Their last loss to solesion about a month ago. I know the kids, mine included, have learned their ittybitty basketball skills in in the reardon gym. Hopefully some of that rubs off. Okay. We can only i cant pick a favorite, i like them both. I know. Im sure ha the parents feel differently, but well see what happens. Vern, thank you so much. Many Restaurant Owners in oakland could really use a break from breakins. Now dozens of eateries have a chance to shine. A pair of, shall we say, unusual fugitives on the run stopped traffic in cleveland when they decided to go straight up the freeway. Get this, these horses are cops. Huh. They escaped from the stables at the Cleveland Police department. They were eventually corralled before they could hurt themselves or anyone else or live the life of crime they always dreamed of. A big week for Business Owner who is could use a break. We talk a lot about oakland restaurants being repeat targets for crime. Next week dozens of them will be putting their resiliency on display along with a lot of fantastic food at oakland Restaurant Week. Tonight the city hosted a bit of a preview party. Imagine 130 restaurants telling us all about their special offerings or different recipes and different specials that they can share with the public. Oakland Restaurant Week kicks off on march 14th and runs all the way through the 24th. Lots of good food in oakland. Im sure a lot of you are excited to try that. What would you do if you saw this heading straight for you . Looks like a nightmare, but it is very real for people in one unlucky part of the country. What do i see in peter dixon . I see my husband. The father of our girls. I see a public servant. A man who served under secretary clinton in the state department. Where he took on the epidemic of violence against women in the congo. I see a fighter, a tenacious problemsolver. Who will go to congress and protect abortion rights and our democracy. Because he sees a Better Future for all of us. Im peter dixon and i approved this message. So we had a lot of weather this weekend. It was pretty eventful. And there has been eventful weather elsewhere too. And one of the things thats tough about weather weekends like the ones weve had is entertaining the kids. Dont i know it. Theyre totally zoned out. Whatever iteration of halo for my youngest son, hes up for it. Video games for some reason just suck their attention right in. But you know what, there is like a merging of the two ideas, because these kids in utah got to live a video game in real life courtesy of the weather. Its like frogger sort of. Youll see what im talking about in a second. Tumbleweeds have inundated parts of utah and nevada. Ugh. I know. Sensory just cringe. Look at that. Thousands of them. Its a mess. Its also kind of fun, though, if youre playing dodge the tumbleweed. There were some kids on bikes hopefully we have the video for you. I hope we have the video. And they were riding their bikes through al of this. Look at that. It looks like sort of like a scary movie where they take over. A tumbleweed version of attack of the killer tomatoes. Doesnt this look fun . Until you get smacked by one of them. Theyre crunchy, you know. Theyre also deceptively solid. If you drive over them, you can scratch up the paint of your car. Not fun. Can they knock you over with the force of the wind . If youre not ready for it. The wind is strong enough. Even if theyre dead they spread the seeds if lift the clouds off of.
