A San Francisco Police Officer killed himself in the parking lot of an east bay Shopping Mall after being stopped by a Police Officer from another department. San Francisco Police say the officer was the target of an investigation. Allie rasmus is in richmond with what we know about the investigation so far. Reporter according to the San Francisco police department, the man was a nine year veteran of the sfpd and sfpd confirms the officer was the subject of an investigation involving multiple jurisdictions. Around 1 30 yesterday afternoon in the parking lot of the hill top mall is where Richmond Police pulled the sfpd officer near the jcpenney story. After stopping the vehicle. Richmond Police Reported a gunshot from inside the car. The view inside the vehicle was obstructed because of the tinted windows. And Richmond Police used bean bag guns to break the windows. When they approached, they realize that had the officer was already dead. Even though it appears that the Police Officer shot himself, Richmond Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding this. The Contra Costa District Attorneys Office is investigating as well. Were waiting for details information to find out what exactly this nineyear veteran of sfpd was being investigated for. They confirm he was the subject of an investigation involving multiple jurisdictions. Thank you, allie. Speed probably was a factor in the Train Derailment. 13 of the train cars came off the tracks right there in the town of dupont, washington. Some of the cars ended up on interstate five and others flipped over onto an embankment. Witnesses quickly jumped out of their cars to help the passengers. The train cars were flipped on their sides, and some of them, the roofs were not collapsed. So the first two were fine. We just walked in. The second, the wall had collapsed in. And we had to belly crawl through whatever was there, glass, rebar, whatever was there. Made it through. And i dont know, its dark and eerie, there were some deceased people. It sort of felt like a war. There is still confusion over how many died and how many hurt. Authorities are in the preliminary phase of the investigation. And it could be months before a final report is issued. The nearby city of lakewood tried to stop the new train line where yesterdays deadly crash occurred. Community leaders told the state that the route would expose drivers to faster trains at several street level crossings. And a judge rejected the arguments and the project was allowed to move ahead. Today some local fishes say the idea of a Train Derailment never came up. The capital corridor trains which run between Silicon Valley and the sacramento area many people buy monthly commuter passes. Most of the people at the jack london station in oakland feel safe on amtrak. Ive been riding it for the 14 years and nothing like that has happened so i dont feel anxious about that. You have to think about it. It has to be in the back of your mind when youre traveling anywhere. Train travel is safer than driving to work or other means of transportation. The crash in Washington State was the first time that that route had served passengers. Federal investigators are looking into a crash involving an amtrak and a semitruck in texas. It happened in the city of san marcos. There were 150 passengers on the train going from chicago to san antonio and it hit the truck. A preliminary report says no one was hurt. San marco police say its possible that the truck was stuck on the tracks. It took two hours to clear the truck from the tracks.
