Political debate. A decision is expected by late june. Same sex marriage is currently banned in 14 states. Coming up onuoc abc7 news at 5 00, the possible implications from todays announcement and we will hear from one of the couples that appeared in front of the Supreme Court in 2013. We have exclusive new information nowen ot murders of four men a week ago in San Franciscos Western Addition neighborhood. News reporter vic lee joins us live in the newsroom with a major break police have made in the case. San Francisco Police now have the car they believe was used in the shootings. Multiple sources tell abc7 news it was a rental car. Still no arrests. But perhaps this leads them closer. The car was rented from the hertz office here on main street in walnut creek last week before the friday night massacre. The four victims three of them identified members of the mcblock gang were shot at close range in their parked stolen car on laguna and page streets. Police say their executioners likely used four guns. They took off police arrived. The suspects car was returned to hertz early this week. San Francisco Police later took possession of it. They asked hertz to call them if the person who rented the car came back. On wednesday morning, a possible sighting of some of the suspects resulted in a search of a neighborhood in walnut creek. Two men and al4 an employee notified san Francisco Police that he thought one of them was a person they were looking for. At the request of San Francisco, Walnut Creek Police using canines responded. While homicide inspectors from the city were on their way. One man fled on foot as the police arrived. Two nearby schools were locked down. Police found him hiding in a garbage binn. Our sources tell us the man was carrying a bag as he fled but he apparently ditched it. San francisco investigators looked unsuccessfully for the bag which they believe could contain a gun or other evidence from the shootings. Walnut creek police later released the two men and the female companion. Now, the official reason for their release was that it was a case of mistaken identity but sources say there may be more to it. Weve learned investigators have developed names of people 9v they believe there were four gunmen and that they were most likely members of a rival group, the page street gang and theyre now trying to build cases against them because they need probable cause to make rests. San Francisco Police declined comment on developments. Vic lee is abc7 news. When you become the story you lose your message. And i think they have lost their message. The major one this is all leading up to the march on this upcoming monday. Protests frustration, and arrests. The b. A. R. T. Commute gets disrupted as activists vow to do this again. Demonstrators showed up in huge numbers to protest Police Brutality in San Francisco and for a while shut down three b. A. R. T. Stations. They are back open now. Activists say they will return. Abc7 News Reporter Amy Holyfield has more. Protesters took their message to the b. A. R. T. System this morning, creating a chlo and noisy commute. The noise came from the banging of spoons on trains and metal pillars. It was so loud you couldnt hear the person next to you talking. It was a way for us to use noise and disruption to draw attention to the action. The other way they drew attention was by blocking doors and stalling the trains. Police kept pulling people out of the doors so the train could move. They arrested one woman for standing in the door and a man for banging his spoon on the windows ss of the b. A. R. T. Train. The glass shatters in their face or the status of somebody sitting in it the train, somebodys going to get hurt. We dont allow things like that. Reporter this action was spread between montgomery and embarcadero stations. B. A. R. T. At various times ordered trains to not stop at those stations. Organizers considered this a success. By closing the station we were able to disrupt business as usual and highlight the Police Murder is not doable. They were also protesting the arrest of 14 people who chained themselves together at a previous b. A. R. T. Protest and want the charges dropped against them. This mornings group won over some commuters and lost others. This wheelchair bound woman was very frustrated not being able to get off at montgomery. I have no other way to get around. They cant shut down the b. A. R. T. The. She missed her doctors appointment because of the closures and decided to come back and support the protesters. But this man was frustrated with the group. I guess sometimes you got to speak your mind and do what you got to do but this right here, noisy, hectic i just want to get to work but im late because they stopped the train. B. A. R. T. Officials say they had to balance freedom of speech with Public Safety and they say there were no reports of any injuries and service was restored to normal at about 9 30. Amy holyfield abc7 news.

Mick Michael Finney is here to answer questions. Is it legal for a gas station to charge a lower price for cash than for credit . Okay. The rules on this are kind of complicated. Here they are. First, you are not allowed to charge more for using your credit card. Completely illegal. You are however if youre a gas station, allowed to charge less for cash. Huh . Nice. I dont make this up. People pass these laws. Yes, theyre allowed to do that. They have to say its a discount for the cash rather than charging you more for the credit. Even though its the same thing. Exact same thing. Glad we clarified that. Karen emails for the last year i get phone calls from the church of scientology asking for kim campbell. I told them im not her. How can you get them to stop. Normally on a do not call list, they would do that. There is exceptions to all of these rules if youre a charity, if youre a politician. So its very difficult to deal with this. Now, if you can determine that theyre a telemarketer, you do not have to they do not have to keep a do not call list but have to not call you which means you say dont call me again or im going to sue you. After that, they get one call. After that, you can sue them for 500 and every call after that you can sue them for 1500. Although again you would have to determine or the courts would have to determine theyre a telemarket ter, not a church. Its a long process. It is a long process. Ill post some stuff on my facebook page. Go check it out. Nancy s. Asked if an item is purchased and then shortly after it is reduced in price is there a law that requires the store to refund the difference . Doesnt that kill you.

However, first of all you go in and go will you give me the direction. You say is this is within your return and exchange period. If they say yes, you return it and buy it right back.
