Fremont Police Officers went to the hospital that was treating the driver and based on their observations arrested him for dui.

In oakland city workers took to the streets again today marching around the downtown area on this, the fourth day of their strike. Those workers failed to reach an agreement with the city after the latest round of negotiations fell through. Today the Union Rejected the citys final offer meaning essentially the strike will go on. Ktvus tom vacar is outside city hall with more. Reporter frank, i have been covering this a while and been thinking about this. The sun was clear today. It was bright. But the mood here right now, dark as the moonless night. Reporter even as oaklands mayor libby schaaf walked into her News Conference today, her face was tired and somber. Last night as you know, we issued our last, best and completely final offer. We did receive a response early this morning from seiu rejecting our final offer. Reporter the mayor insists that the City Councils final offer is fair, equitable and retroactive to last july 1st. Over the last two years, we provided our workforce with an 8 raise and right now, we have on the table for our seiu workers anywhere between a 5 and an 11 raise based on the classification as well as revenue performance. Reporter the mayor said she would declare an impasse and request to bring in a mediator. If that request is not accepted, it is the unions right to invoke factfinding. That process can last anywhere from five to eight months. Reporter so while i asked her if she would fire workers. Its difficult for me to believe that we would do anything that would not be in the longterm interest of both the organization of the city of oakland, our relationship with our workers but also our duty to serve the residents. Reporter the mayor said she will hire contractors to do some essential work, such as cleaning up homeless camps, which received notice today of the cleanups here beginning wednesday. [ chanting ] reporter the strikers went into the street shortly blocking busy broadway at 14th street. Clearly, a lot of damage, potentially long lasting damage, had been done. I think its a sad time in a beautiful progressive city like oakland when you have a mayor and parts of the city council treating its workers and its citizens with such disdain. Reporter the disdain, say many workers, will be returned. The strike will continue until such time as something occurs that these employees decide they want to go back to work. Reporter with the exception of police and fire services, most of whats known as City Government is shut down, although the town, the commercial side, is wide open for business. Tom vacar, ktvu fox 2 news. So tom, whats the thought here . Are we looking at a strike going into next week and perhaps through next week . Reporter its entirely possible they may get together over the weekend, although we dont know that for sure. And maybe they can resolve this thing. But you know, you dont have to go back too far to remember the bart strikes, how long they lasted and how damaging and devastating they were to the region. This is no less de stating to oakland and the people who live and work here and its only getting worse, so theres a lot of pressure thats going to be pleased on all parties here. But the reality is, they are at a stalemate now and impasse which is what its legally called and we just dont know how long this is going to last but its certainly seeming that the mood of the union is if they want to strike then well give em one. So right now, as far as you know, no one is talking . Reporter as far as i know, no one is im going to run over by the union office. They were supposed to talk to us this afternoon about their plans. But they decided to back off on that for now. So we are going to go over to the union office and see what we can find out and report back to you at 6 00 on that. But right now its anybodys guess as to whats going to happen but its not a good scene because i say, the acrimony is getting to be worse. All right, tom, well see you again at 00. Thank you. Reports of a student with a gun forced a lockdown of Richmond High School this morning. School administrators called Richmond Police when a student was spotted showing a gun to a classmate. It turned out that it was actually just a realist stuck looking replica. The student was taken into custody by School Resource officers and the campus was placed on lockdown. That lockdown was later lifted. San Francisco Police released a body camera footage of last weeks deadly officer involved shooting in the bayview. The clip is brief but it shows the final seconds of the chase before the deadly shot was fired. Our ktvu Crime Reporter henry lee joins us live from the newsroom with the details about the officer who fired that shot. He was a rookie officer. Reporter he was on his fourth day of the job and it happened within seconds. That rookie officer fired through a patrol car window killing an unarmed man suspected of carjacking a state lottery minivan. Reporter this is san Francisco Police body cam video showing the moment a Rookie Police officer fired through the passenger side window of a police car, killing 42yearold keita oneil. Now anger over why the officer shot through a police car window as oneil ran from a stolen minivan. We spoke to his father shortly after the shooting. I can tell you one thing. He wasnt armed. He had no business being shot like that. [ crying ] reporter it all began when police say oneil confronted a Woman Working for the California Lottery as he shifted this store at 23rd and arkansas on potrero hill. Investigators say he pushed her to the ground and stole the minivan with lottery tickets. It was chased to the bayview. The driver door opens and the mini van stops at fitzgerald and griffith. This video from the body cam shows the officer drawing his weapon as the police car is still moving. Within seconds he shoots oneil once from inside the police car shattering the window. Police say oneil was running toward the police car and that he was unarmed when the officer shot him. Police have not identified the officer who fired his weapon but said he only had four days on the job. He was riding with his Training Officer whose body cam was not activated. At a town hall meeting, some questioned whether the officer violated policy by firing from inside the police car. According to department policy, officers cannot fire from a moving vehicle. But its not clear from the videos whether the police car was stopped. I spoke by phone to don cameron, a former Police Officer who teaches police tactics. The officer had no idea whether the individual was armed or not. And you dont wait to see if the vehicle is armed or not. I have no problem with him shooting through the window at the suspect. Reporter now, police have released those two videos without making any conclusions yet because the shooting is under investigation by the department and the d. A. s office. Henry lee, ktvu fox 2 news. Whats next for that Rookie Police officer . Reporter officers on standard routine paid administrative leave as well as the Training Officer. Both officers are cooperating with the investigation. So this probe, these concurrent probes will continue and will go from there. Henry lee in the newsroom tonight. Henry, thank you. In arizona, body camera footage from another Police Shooting was released today after the officer involved was found not guilty. The 18minute body cam video was released shortly after former officer Phillip Mitchell brailles ford was acquitted on a murder charge for shooting and killing Daniel Shaver last year. Officers were called to a hotel in mesa after witnesses reported seeing shaver pointing what looked like a gun out the window. The body camera shows shaver sobs as officers told him to keep his hands up. He then started to crawl toward them. Your hands back to the small of your back and down were going to shoot you. Do you understand me . Yes, sir. Crawl towards me. Crawl towards me [ pause ] braillesford said he shot shaver when shaver appeared to reach for his waistband. No gun was found on the body. He did have a pellet gun related to his pest control job in his hotel room. His widow and parents have filed wrongful death lawsuits against the city. Really an interesting phenomenon especially in the middle of all of these harassment scandals. Tech Companies Hiring for looks. Coming up next, the trend of hiring high paid models to attend Company Holiday parties.

President trump right now is in pensacola, florida, for what he is calling a make America Great again speech. Pensacola is just miles from the alabama border causing some to wonder if tonights event is an attempt to give roy moore a boost in the polls. The Alabama Senate hopeful is accused of pursuing relationships with several teenaged girls years ago. But the white house says they dont think thats the case. He won florida when many pundits said he couldnt and wouldnt do it. He has a house in florida and the people of pensacola helped put donald trump in office.

Well be looking to see if President Trump makes any comments about roy moore. This is in florida live. With the issue of Sexual Misconduct dominating the news now, a Holiday Party trend in Silicon Valley is getting some attention. Companies are hiring models to attend holiday parties to make small talk with guests. According to one report its happening in record numbers this year. Ann rubin reports from our san jose studio. Reporter the models are told its their job to create a certain atmosphere but without letting on that theyre there for work, not for fun. Reporter that attractive person youre chatting up at your tech companys Holiday Party may be paid to be there. A recent bloomberg article drew attention to the hiring of socalled ambience models. These are goodlooking men and women paid 150 an hour to mingle. Maybe sometimes well be given an employees name to say they are friends with. Other times they will have to sign ndas or wear certain outfits to fit a theme. Reporter we spoke to agencies sending models to half dozen parties this weekend alone in some cases 30 per event. The tech companies, some big, some small, working everything from gaming to virtual reality. Its an interesting phenomenon especially in the middle of all of these harassment scandals and diversity issues that we have started to care so much about in the valley. Reporter at this Model Management company which focuses on Silicon Valley, they have received a few requests for it type of job. They have turned them down. The fear that lines might get crossed if party guests dont realize the models are paid to be there. Are they getting hit on by people at the party . Is it fair to solicit them or take them out on dates . We dont know. Reporter while models have long been hired for tech trade shows, the agencies say this is different since the job is to make small talk, not pitch products. And while the practice does not come as a shock to some in the industry, others say it may alienate women. Im not personally surprised and i they can choose to do that and i can choose to go somewhere else. Thats how i feel about it. Reporter now, agencies sigh they are seeing a significant spike in business this year. And the models are often hand picked based on photos then asked to sign those nonkiss disclosure agreements before they show up. Nondisclosure agreements before they show up. Its very interesting with this Movement Across the country with the Sexual Misconduct allegations. Its a new thing. They are saying this is a trend they are seeing a lot more of. Reporter that doesnt mean it hasnt been going on all along. But the agencies have seen an uptick in business this year. You know, no way of knowing what that means or why its happening now. An interesting time, given the current climate. Ann rubin, thank you. Air quality managers have issued a spare the air alert for the next few days due to a weather inversion thats reducing winds and trapping smoke and other particles near ground level. The air district typically issues spare the air alerts one day at a time but the outbreak for stagnant air is so strong that the district has issued alerts for three days in a row. Officials say this alert wasnt triggered by the wildfires in the state. It is about the temperature inversion thats trapping wood smoke with Immediate Health impacts for bay area residents. Wood fires are banned during spare the air alerts. This is the first spare the air alert for the fallwinter season in the bay area. Lets check in now with our chief meteorologist bill martin. Some smoke in the air obviously for that spare the air alert. Some of that smoke from those l. A. Fires, but mostly i dont think that i think thats a small component to this spare the air day deal. The atmosphere is stable. North bay will be the worst. Not sure why. Well see more of this in the next few weeks because we have a dry pattern. So well have more spare the air alerts. Offshore winds have been a problem. Tomorrow morning, the winds get going pretty good. I put the colors in. These are blowing in this area, 35, maybe 40 miles an hour up around malibu. So you see some strong winds. Lets go into saturday afternoon. Still pretty strong, right . As long as you see these contours, these colored contours, its high winds and problems. When the contours go away so sunday morning its still blowing. Then at least your break right there. Things go away sunday night. Its a big Long Duration for santa ana winds. Thats definitely something that the firefighters are not too pleased with. Theres your sunset this evening. Interesting satellite image. Looks like three things lined up. A lot of cloud cover kind of just not well organized, going to make for some good sunsets tonight, tomorrow. It already was a good sunset tonight. So weekend looks good. What we had today is what well have tomorrow. Probably what well see on sunday, too. So its just the pattern is dry and i mentioned this last night. We are looking at the potential for a dry period through the 22nd of december. I did notice it in the sunset this evening, too. Theres a little cloud cover up there, as well. Its going to be cold tonight. Overnight lows are going to get down there like last night. We had freezing and frost and well see it again tomorrow morning. Maybe not quite as cold because of the clouds a little more cloud cover. It will be chilly though. So if you had frost or ice this morning, you will see it again tomorrow this morning morning. And thats your saturday morning. When i come back well go saturday afternoon, sunday and beyond and give you the idea what you can expect the next chance of showers. Also its snowing i talked about how things are connected its snowing in atlanta and texas. So as we stay warm and dry with fire danger, the east coast is under the exact opposite pattern. Well look at all that coming up. A cal state east bay professor is turning an an act of vandalism into a movement to empower people. Someone crossed out signs posted on the door of an assistant professor including black lives matter and something else. He post the a patchwork of positive words on his door such as love, justice and community and he added discriminatory words such as sexism and racism. All of which were crossed out. People really are resonating to this. This is what we do. This is how we fight these sorts of actions. If you are going to do something in the dark were going to bring it into the light and take an action and thats the kind of campus that we are. We are the most diverse campus the United States. And this is what we do. The School Supports his response as other faculty members are recreating the quilt. He invited people to share it on social media.

This was very fast paced. A deadly shooting at a high school in new mexico. Authorities say 21yearold William Atchison disguised himself as a student to get into aztec high school. He then entered the building and shot two students. Police say the shooting was planned but he did not target the students he killed. The fbi also said today that agents investigated atchison last year about comments that he made online. We have been coordinating with local Law Enforcement and interviewed him along with some of his family. The assessment was subsequently closed after it was determined that no crime had been committed. Police believe the suspect killed himself at the scene. At this time its still unclear whether he had a connection to the school. Survivors of the massacre in las vegas are giving back to first responders. Dozens of people have been visiting hospitals, fire and police stations with thank you baskets. On october 1st a gunman killed 58 people who were enjoying a music concert on the las vegas strip.

Trainers set free more than 450 horses so they wouldnt be trapped in their stalls. Authorities say at least 25 racehorses were killed from smoke inhalation. You can see the chaos here as the horses tried to escape but were confused by the smoke and the wind. Santa ana winds whipped that fire from half an acre to 500 acres in less than halfhour yesterday afternoon. It was incredible. It was like being in a wind tunnel just things whipping. Im surprised more trees didnt come down. Embers from you could just see em. It was it was really, really pretty nervewracking. Cal fire says the lilac fire has burned 4100 acres and destroyed dozens of homes near the city of fallbrook. Thats about 50 miles north of san diego. Much of Southern California from Santa Barbara to san diego is under a state of emergency tonight as a result of all of those wildfires. Adam housely with the latest from san diego county. Reporter firefighters across Southern California battling at least 6 major wildfires with brutal santa ana winds fanning the flames and a fastmoving fire racing north of san diego. We are throwing a lot of equipment at this fire now from the air and from the ground. Reporter President Trump approved a disaster declaration to allow agencies to assist with response efforts. Hundreds of structures have been destroyed and thousands of people are under mandatory evacuation orders. I have been making everyone leave. Reporter as firefighters work to hold the line and keep the flames away from populations, homeowners are doing their best to hold back the fires. If the fire crosses the road over here, were probably going to go wet down the roof, spray it down and do a couple of other things, turn the sprinklers on and then get out. Reporter winds are expected to weaken over the next couple of days. But with that, a new set of problems for firefighters to face. That santa ana weakening is going to cause the fire to be much less predictable. Reporter the navy now helping with the firefight. The idea is to get as many of these hot spots down before the winds come back and, of course, the humidity here is still very low. In north san diego county, adam housely, fox news. Firefighters have gained some control over the largest most destructive fire in Southern California. The thomas fire has burned 132,000 acres in Ventura County since it began monday evening.

The fallout from President Trumps jerusalem declaration is intensifying with World Leaders broadly condemning the decision. David lee miller has more now from jerusalem. Reporter violent clashes intensified after President Trump announced the move to jerusalem of the american embassy. Palestinian leaders, moderates and radicals, all say the declaration wont go unanswered. The marches will not stop until the liberation of jerusalem. God willing, these marches are not only in gaza but also in the west bank. Reporter the move is still being broadly condemned by World Leaders, including most of americas european allies. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson says the move was widely discussed with mideast leaders before the announcement and it isnt going to happen overnight. This is not something thats going to happen this year, probably not next year. But the president does want us to move in a very concrete and steadfast way. Reporter meanwhile, u. N. Ambassador nikki haley is defending america on the world stage as the Security Council holds an emergency session to discuss President Trumps decision. Haley says the move could make it easier to establish a lasting peace between israel and the palestinians.

The unusual tradition that unfortunately is likely to happen once again this weekend for the cardinal football team. The Heisman Trophy is the top individual honor for College Football and this years winner will be announced tomorrow. Bryce love is one of the three finalists and as scott reese tells us, he is poised to uphold a unique stanford legacy. Reporter bryce love, the most explosive player in the nation and deservedly a heisman finalist. Im definitely excited for it. Its a honor. Reporter a familiar honor for stanford football. In the last eight years, four times we have had a player thats in discussion for the best player in america. Reporter as it turned out, all four discussions ended the same way. In the closest race ever, the 2009 Heisman Trophy is awarded to mark ingram. Cam newton. Robert griffin iii derek henry. Reporter those heisman hurrahs came at the expense of toby gerhart, andrew luck twice and Christian Mccaffrey who all finished second in the battling. Talk about always a bridesmaid. Bryce love reporter incredibly, that trend is about to continue. Heisman pundits are certain love will finish, you guessed it, second to oklahoma quarterback baker mayfield, which will make five stanford runners up in nine years, so close, so often. Precious few in sports history can relate. No good wide right reporter the Buffalo Bills losing four straight super bowls. The German National Soccer Team World Cup soccer team runners up four times. Then jug mcspade en pro golfer had finished second in 13 tournaments in one year 1945. What are the odds . Well, in stanfords case, its not an exact calculation. But the odds of producing a heisman finalist five times in nine years and having that player finish second every time about 1 in 12 million. Yet here we are. Just being able to say that youre mentioned as one of the best players in College Football that year, whether or not everybody says youre the best or not, being in that discussion, i think its truly special. Reporter fair enough. Just being a heisman finalist is a tremendous honor, although that wont make jug feel any better. As for bryce, maybe he will prove the pundits wrong. If he doesnt, perhaps they pay appropriate tribute to the best of the rest. Scott reiss, ktvu fox 2 news. Well find out tomorrow night. The khaki bandit strikes again in northern california. The latest bank that this robber has hit with his traditional khakis and his gun. It is snowing deep in the southern u. S. College campuses and entire cities that are used to hot and humid conditions now dealing with a lot of fresh snow. And, of course, that weather is attached to our weather which is relatively warm and dry and santa ana wind conditions in Southern California. This is the bay bridge looking slow on a friday night. Coming up we get the weekend squared away weatherwise for you. See you back here. Ck here. The khaki bandit hit 13 banks in four years including napa and felton. This week he robbed the Yosemite Bank in groveland. Surveillance cameras captured the man as he held up the bank. Here he is in a khaki in his khaki pants wearing a bean any, black sunglasses and a black windbreaker and a beanie. Investigators say the khaki bandit shows a gun and typically hits rural banks. A small town like this we are an easy target and Law Enforcement isnt always here. He has it down to where he can get away with it. There is a reward of 20,000 for information leading to his arrest and the conviction of the socalled khaki bandit. People live in the shadow of the oroville dam had a chance to ask state officials about the rebuilt spillway. One of the biggest concerns is about tiny hairline cracks in the new concrete. Reporter with massive repairs under way to fix 2017s massive problems on the spillways of the oroville dam, some of the biggest concerns of those who had to run from the flood threat are small. They are so small in one respect that in these pictures a pen has to be used to point them out. We documented everywhere we have seen them. Reporter the state department of Water Resources is being called out about some of them. You saw the cracks in august and you let the public know about them in november. I im going to accept that you know what youre doing. But you promised to keep us informed and you did not. Everything is what we planned for, expect and everything is going right youre right. We dont necessarily feel the need to, um, have a press conference about it. Reporter the dwr said the small cracks were expected as part of the normal concrete curing process. A more cosmetic concern. We probably could have had a stole low with no cracks but we have had to lower the integrity of the facility and less strength in the concrete. We would have had less anchoring and rebar. Reporter from solid concrete concerns to shifting sediment, folks around yuba city are upset about silt in the feather river. The sediment closed boat ramps and shut down guided fishing businesses scattering employees. I got two in alaska, two in oregon, two out of work and the others are going to do other things. We cant work reporter one of many in this room trying to process this but its hard to let go of the fear. That fear means she is ready now if almost 200,000 people have to evacuate again. Got my food, my sleeping bag blankets, clothes, everything i need ready to go. Snow marched across the southeast part of the country. Some areas seeing snow in fact for the first time in more than a decade. In san antonio, texas, for example, it snowed at the alamo for the first time in 12 years. Enough to make a snowman. [ laughter ] snow is common in parts of north texas but in other parts of the state, not so much. Snow fell across the houston area, covering rooftops and buildings and cars. And student at texas a m university in College Station took the opportunity to get out and play a little bit in the snow. This is crazy. This is, um, one of the hardest i have seen it snow here in texas. So its exciting. I wasnt expecting it. We walked out of the mall and it was just coming down. I was wearing flipflops on monday. So this is great. And it wasnt just texas seeing snow. Baton rouge, louisiana the ls umass scott was playing in the snow this morning. Mike the Siberian Tiger played ball and laid in the snow a little bit. Mike doesnt want to give up that ball. No, he doesnt. Im not about to take it from him. One guy in flipflops and now in snow. Lets go over to our chief meteorologist bill martin in the Weather Center with more on our weather. Its interesting, they are usually dealing with warm muggy conditions. Thats what we have been talking about. What happens here is the opposite there. This pattern is stuck. Our offshore winds are warm dry conditions. Theres the ridge of High Pressure the upper atmosphere. It dives down and troughs out. Its like a sine curve if you had calculus. Theres your offshore winds under this ridge. Theres your no rain under this ridge. And here this is all cold air. Thats why you have snow in texas and atlanta and parts of washington and new york and boston, as well. So the pattern that pattern is forecast to stay put for a while. Look at the daytime highs. These are daytime highs tomorrow. You see the east coast is staying in the low 30s. So definitely, you know, just a not the best system patterns for them. For us, its, you know, we need rain. We need snow. I guess the upshot is its cold enough out here that they are making quite a bit of snow up in the mountains. Current temperatures, um, current outside, nice evening, beautiful sunset. Clouds a little bit of smoke. We do have a spare the air day tomorrow and again on sunday. Not so much for the Southern California smoke. We are seeing some of that. Most of its more about just the stable environment and the woodburning and even car pollution that we get going during the day. Skies will look like that tomorrow morning. Thats kind of the story. I think well see lots of mid 60s with temperatures in the south bay maybe a smidge warmer especially gilroy and morgan hill where you see some upper 60s heading south into san benito county. A real nice weekend ahead. Sunday well talk about in a little bit but it looks okay. The thing to note will be the morning overnight lows chilly in the Morning Hours on saturday, sunday and beyond as we are seeing frost and freezing conditions especially in the north bay. So just a steady as she goes forecast. The downside for Southern California with this pattern is they are continuing to get offshore winds through through sunday afternoon and then it dies off. Its not crazy out of control winds like it had been but still not helping firefighters. What are they looking at tonight . Its going to get going about 35 miles an hour in the strongest areas. Its a lot less wind aerial coverage but there are spots in the hills that are still getting big gusts. 35 is still strong winds. Its a lot. Thank you. The biggest name on baseballs free agent list picked the team he wants to play for next year and its not the giants. Japanese star shohei otani decided to sign with the l. A. Dodgers. Otani has been described as the japanese babe ruth. He is a hitter and pitcher who can throw more than 100 miles an hour. Otani met with 7 west coast teams including the giants during his last full year in japan he was voted the best designated hitter and the best pitcher in the league. Late this afternoon the giants also made it official. They are out of the Giancarlo Stanton sweepstakes. Stanton would have to waive his no contract clause to be traded to any team. He also said no to the st. Louis cardinals earlier this week and it had been reported that the giants and the marlins had the framework of a deal worked out but stanton would not agree. He still has 295 million guaranteed on his contract. In a statement sent out tonight the giants said, quote, our agreement with the marlins to acquire Giancarlo Stanton subject to his waiving of the notrade clause will not move forward and it is our understanding that the marlins and stanton are exploring other options.
