Oakland police today announced they arrested the man responsible for shooting at a Police Officer near 73rd avenue last weekend. They arrested four others for a murder earlier this month. Leslie brinkly has more on the reaction to the arrests from the community. Sometimes you think they dont care and theyre like another one bites the dust. You cant miss the shrine to Anthony Stephens on the corner of 92nd avenue in east oakland. He was killed here july 9th. Thats when five young men violently assaulted him and shot him to death as he sat in a parked car. Five suspects who we found to be a part of or associated with kind of the hybrid gang known as the five finger mafia. Reporter today police announced they arrested four of the five suspects and have charged them with murder. The fifth suspect Tyrone Terrell is at lashlg. And then police announced another arrest. This time for shooting at a uniformed oakland Police Officer who was trapped in her patrol car last weekend after being struck by another vehicle in an accident. The suspect walked up and fired one shot at her. Opd tracked the suspect to stockton where overnight he surrendered after a long standoff with a s. W. A. T. Team. A fire arm that we believe or is consistent with the firearm that was used on the night of the diincident was recovered. Opd continues to do an enormous amount of work to keep the citizens of oakland safe. Reporter and Police Emphasize in these times of estranged relationshipsen with opd and the citizens of oakland, its the citizens who have stepped up to help them out. We have been solving more of these crimes. Thats an important piece of Building Trust with community. Thats a change. Usually nothing is done about it. I think thats great. Reporter these new arrests bring some hope to those who live in east oakland. Leslie brinkly, abc 7 news. Prosecutors will dismiss all charges against the man previously convicted of killing washington, d. C. , intern shandra leafy. Federal prosecutors say they wouldnt be able to convict this man based on developmentes discovered in the past week. They do not elaborate. He was found guilty in 2010 but granted a new trial last year after the discovery that a key prosecution witness had lied. Levys disappearance made headlines in 2001. She was romantically linked with gary condit zblchl police are on the lookout for a man who tried to kidnap a woman. Police released a detailed sketch of the suspect. It happened at 7 45 this morning on washington avenue near floresta boulevard. The woman was walking to work when a stranger approached. Again, she told police the man pepper sprayed her, knocked her to the ground, then started dragging her into a car. A passer by jumped out of his car and grabbed the would be kidnapper who then pepper sprayed him. The kidnapper drove away. She actually felt her feet enter the car. So it was that close to him getting her into the car and leaving and i truly think that if youre this braiat brazen to that attack in broad daylight, it could have been a tragedy. Police are searching for a silver nissan sedan with four doors, spoked wheels and tinted rear windows. Coming up, caught in the middle. It is tough being africanamerican and also being police chief . San franciscos new top cop on what its like to live in the center of two worlds. Plus, why a former officer asked that his own parole be denied. And concerns about formaldehyde in certain flooring. We have ways to breathe easier. And all that talk about last nights streak across the sky. We had it for you at 11 00 last night. What is the latest . Were seeing a different side of San Francisco police chief. We find out why he almost did not become a cop, interestingly enough. And were in the newsroom with the interview. Last night in part one of our sitdown interview with chief tony chaplin, he spoke about his mission to reform the department. Tonight a more personal look at the man himself including this story that almost changed the direction of his life. Acting chief tony chaplin applied to the chp in 1989. But a traffic stop in san jose almost changed his mind. The Police Officer was just really disrespectful. And when i explained to him that i had applied to the police department, he kind of fell into a rage. And basically stated ill never make it. Obviously, he was wrong. Chaplins friends believed he was racially profiled. They told him to forget being a cop. They condemned me. My mother is one that swayed me back into coming into law enforcement. Chap slin a 26year veteran, a street cop who rose through the ranks. And now assuming the role of interim chief when there is gross discord from minority communities over police shootings. Its troubling. They are troubling nationwide to look at them. Again, there are two sides to the story. It is tough being africanamerican and also being police chief . It is in a sense of people question where your loyalties lie. And my answer is always going to be for both. Chaplin says these are challenging times for police. Challenging, too, in recruiting new officers when police are being vilified and assassinated, especially minority candidates. This is probably the time when we need them the most. Everyone knows. Change comes from within. And the more people we get in to reflect the community police, i it this better off we are as an organization. Nick lee, abc 7 news.

But she died hours later at the hospital from internal injuries. Three others were treat ford minor injuries. Lets move on to some consumer news. Could your flooring be making you sick . Formaldehyde is a colorless gas found in several household products. Its ubiquitous. Yeah, formaldehyde is a human carcinogen by the world health organization. You may remember it was in the news last year quite a bit when some lamb nant flooring from lumber lick dateors was reported to emit worrisome levels of formaldehyde. Now Consumer Reports has tested a variety of flooring and has this test and advice. Lamb nant flooring is less expensive than solid wood but there are concerns that flooring emits formaldehyde. Consumer reports bought a variety of wood based flooring products and ran lab tests over the past year. It was a small study. But we did find that laminant had higher formaldehyde emissions. If youre putting in new flooring, Consumer Reports says prefinished solid Wood Flooring is a better choice for reducing formaldehyde exposure, if you had laminant flooring for several years, there is less cause for concern because formaldehyde is a volatile chemical that displates over time. The problem is lots of products can emit the formaldehyde, especially when their new. Permanent pre permanent fabric, plywood, particle boards and cigarettes all can emit formaldehyde. To lower the lefldz, lower windows, wash permanent prosed clothing and curtains before using. Choose Wood Furniture without formaldehyde containing gluz and ban indoor smoking. But forget about using an air purifier. It wont lower form ald high levels nor will putting a rug over your floor. Now just yesterday the Environmental Protection agency announced new rules for formaldehyde. Manufacturers must comply with new testing and certification requirements. Companies that laminate wood must prove they source the wood from other companies that comply with the new rules. Lamb innators have seven switches to the low formaldehyde emitting glue. California has limits on formaldehyde and flooring and other wood products. Consumer reports believes even those levels are not low enough. All right. Good information. Thank you, michael. The u. S.
