Was on the wrestling team. Another friend said he changed after visiting the middle east. Also today we learned the name of the four marines killed. Tomas sullivan from massachusetts, Carson Holmquist of wisconsin and david wyatt of north carolina. Now we turn to james who has latest from washington. After a gunman opened fire on a pair of military facilities in tennessee leaving four marines dead and one critically injured [ indiscernible ] they were said to be looking into trips that is suspect previously took to jordan and perhaps the middle east. He was killed by police during the shooting thursday. The fbi made clear yesterday that they are looking another a variety of possible motives. Including the possibility of domestic terrorism. Officials say these lone vs wol v wolves are more dangerous. Fbi officials overseeing the investigation and said they havent found anything yet that ties the suspect to an International Terrorist organization. We are conducting a thorough investigation to determine whether this person acted alone. Back to you. From james there in d. C. Lets go live now to tennessee outside the recruiting office the scene of one of the shootings. Could you describe the emotions there tonight in chattanooga for us . Well its hard to describe how many people in the city of chattanooga have been absolutely heart broken by this tragedy. So many people didnt know these four victims these four marines, but so many hundreds are coming out here to the military recruitment center. You can see crowds keep on gathering and gathering as the sun comes down. They are laying flags down, they are adding crosses they are putting up balloons, a number of people just saying a prayer here, stopping to shed a tear. They are also asking why, why an upstanding member of the chattanooga community, somebody who was well loved and well liked by High School Friends and College Friends by the community, engage in possible terrorist acts. So far the fbi a to today said they do believe Muhammad Abdulazeez did act alone. At this point the fbi is saying at this point that they believe that the action were of his own free will. I know that two years ago he failed that background check there a a Nuclear Plant in cleveland. Last year he also traveled to jordan. Three years ago he also had a dui. Today the police chief said they called him a coward. What can you tell us about folks there in chattanooga . What have you learned about his personality, his character in the last year or two . Well the only thing that ever popped own their radar was the fact that the dui. Like you said other than that trip to jordan just a few months ago, he really wasnt on authorities radar. A lot of people at the college today had a vigil. He graduated in about 2012. They knew him. People were friends with him. They said he did not seem at all radicalized although he was open about his muslim faith. They said he did not seem unusual or radicalized to friends and the community at large. Are you hearing stories about bravery from the officers . I bring this up because the police chief talked about many officers dragging those who were wounded away from the shooting scene. They were talking about the bravery there. The chief of police said if it wasnt for the bravery of those officers, there could have been possibly more lives lost. They said the Police Officer who was shot in the leg officers were exchanging gunfire with the gunman can dragged him into safety. As the police chief said, if it wasnt for these brave officers who risked their lives there could have been more deaths. All right. Thank you for that report. We will send it back to the desk.

Promises were made by the city to fix it. We checked in to see where things stand. They do live on the top floor. Public housing for the elderly and disabled in San Francisco. Yet over the fourth of july Holiday Weekend her apartment felt more like a prison. I couldnt get down all day yesterday. With one elevator already down with maintenance someone got stuck inside. What if there was an emergency . Exactly. What would you have done . I have no idea. When the elevators are out this is the only way out. I for many of the people who live here, these stair arent an option. This has happened on more than one occasion. We found an Elevator Repair Company opened more than 60 Service Tickets at the clementina towers since the start of 2014. This one after they had to pry open doors to release a trapped passenger. We first reported on elevator problems back in march of 2014. A month later the mayor announced 5. 4 million in emergency funding for repairs there. They said they have used that no one fix elevators at four properties and modernize elevators at two other locations but not at the clementina towers yet. What kind of work are you guys doing today . Elevator. Work only recently began here and could take until november to finish. The Housing Authority insists its on schedule. Sit a total health and disregard for them. He is suing the Housing Authority on behalf of 21 residents. It accused the city of negligence. They said tenants caused the problem. You push emergency call button too much. You stop elevator on certain floors and then it gets stuck. A lot of blaming of the tenants thats whats going on. Barbara smith agreed to sit down talk about the repairs. You just decided you cant two on camera . She backed out. Just canceled . They said its been working to find money to over haul elevator cars tat clementina tower since last year. At the clementina towers since last year. Records show smith has been aware of the problem even longer. Almost two years ago smith wrote to Housing Authority managers this el variety elevator situation is a horrible mess. He said hes been stuck in one of the elevators before. He said please help. Just because we are lowincome doesnt mean we are low priority. Lets talk about the mayor. It was april of last year he announces the funding. Now in 2015 not many repairs done at the clementina towers. That that whats residents are so upset about. At the time back in april of last year, the Mayors Office came out and said 5. 4 million. They even called them emergency short term repairs. They said they have waited long enough. They said the repairs are just now getting started. Let me stop you there, we keep hearing the word repairs why not just rip them out and get new elevators . Its a good question. We are hearing them use the word modern iization. [ indiscernible ] modern eyization. A lawsuit. Where does it stand right now . Well the attorney in this case says he thinks this could go to trial in february. They are not satisfied with the citys response. The city has denied the allegation. They said they are not liable. The attorney said he think which he is take this for to the a jury. Just before now, there was a dead line to make some critical repairs to the elevators in one of the towers. We just found out from osha they have given them an ex tension until early august to get those short term repairs made. All right women getting trained to write code in disadvantaged countries.

Its lin goer for programming lin two for programming. We were looking at numbers today. It says 57 of College Women get a degree. [ indiscernible ] then it says 12 of Computer Science grads are only women. The number that kind of surprised they is that by 2020 they expect 1. 4 million jobs in computer fields. You only have 12 of women graduating in that industry. Yeah, we are actually looking at being a million engineers shy of the market means. You can also transition into a career in technology as an adult. Thats part of what women code is doing. We are also working to keep women in their careers. Women are also leaving the Tech Industry at a rate of about 56 . If we can attract more people and women to the Tech Industry that is how we are going reach those goals they are leaving because theres a fear about it or why would you say they are leaving . Theres a lot of reasons that a lot of women decide to leave. One of the big reasons is family reasons. You dont quite fit in, you are not like everyone else you might be on a team of 30 and theres only two or three engineers. Little tiny things that happen day after day that make you feel excluded and then you get the opportunity to change into Something Else or you get the opportunity stay home and you take it. If i am sitting at home and im either just graduated from college, or if im older and ive been laid off from my job but i still have home years in my left to work, how easy is it to learn how to code .

It needs to be implemented to the Elementary School level. It needs to be part of the core curriculum in u. S. Schools . What about can i become a coder, and feed my family, pay my bills . Does this career pay . In the by area starting salaries are often close to 80,000. And the market needs more engineers. Its a great career path. We have an event coming up.

This is a being project. Sit it is one of our two most important interlockings. Its not affecting the way people are using bart now. If something happens we have seen things happen that means you wouldnt be able to get trains in and out of the waters of the bay. It more of a reliability issue, not so much of a safety issue.

You brought some interesting things to show us whats wrong with the track. Tell me this is the rail right . Yeah. Tell me what it all means. Okay. So this is a normal rail. We will allow it to run down to this line here and then so this is if it wears down by normal use its still fine. Its fine. So what we see here is rail thats worn past that standard. Its gone past that. There is no way we could dont run trains over this so we need cut it out and put in brand new rails. Is this what it looks like in the area you are talking about fixing. The big thing we are talking about is the ties. They last about 3035 years. Overtime the wood begin to break down. How long have they been out in the area . They could be up to 30 years. So its time . Its time. Right now its just a little shaky and we dont want you cant use it. All right. People are saying i still bart is the way i get in, what else do i do. The numbers you going off of, i know you pick a low rider ship weekend. You still talk about 90,000 people that go on that weekend. Tell us about this bus bridge. Who should use it . People that the bus bridge is intended to serve are people that have no other options. So we have a map that shows modified service. All the other train lines are as normal . Everything is going to run normally. The schedule of course is going to be different because we are not going across the bay.
