Cars came in in a line and thats when we knew it was something a little more serious than that. Reporter police say the driver armed with a knife then attacked an officer who was guarding parliament. The attacker shot by police but not before leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. Parliament on lockdown. Lawmakers inside posting videos on social media expressing concern. All of our thoughts are with the people who have been injured in this attack outside parliament on westminster bridge. Reporter officials calling it an act of terror. The values our parliament represents, democracy, freedom, human rights, the rule of law, but let me make it clear today any attempt to defeat those values through violence and terror is doomed to failure. Reporter the white house condemning the attack. The city of london and her majestys government have the full support of the u. S. Government in responding to the attack and bringing those to justice who are responsible. Reporter police are still locking down this area, asking anyone with information to come forward as they continue to put those pieces together, trying to figure out who that attacker might be.

Stanford tells us that all 69 students currently in london for overseas studies have been accounted for. Uc berkeley reports for issues for its 39 students currently on exchange at oxford university. Counterterrorism officials here in the bay area tell the abc 7 news iteam that they process more than a thousand reported threats each year. Now, the good news is the vast majority turn out to be dead ends. But todays attack in london highlights the very real concern over soft targets here. Dan noyes joins us now with that part of the story. Kristen and dan, this week weve heard about the threats to bring down airliners with explosives hidden in laptop computers. But its these lowtech attacks such as the one in london that keep counterterrorism officials in the bay area up at night. In the uk they are trying to make attribution as we speak, who did it and what was the motive for that attack. That has not changed our posture here. The fbis head of Counterterrorism Operations for the bay area tells me todays attack in london has not increased the alert level here. Craig fair says they are always vigilant for these lowtech attacks. It doesnt have to be some elaborate plot. Absolutely. By any means necessary is what we are seeing and that continues to be the trend. And this type of attack very simple using an suv and a knife is a serious threat around the world and right here in the bay area. Just last summer isis put out a video naming the Golden Gate Bridge and financial district as possible targets. The tourist attractions, wide sidewalks and sporting events are also what the fbi calls potential soft targets for a terrorist. A soft target is can be found in any community or any major city where its not hard by any security features, security personnel. There typically is not an armed presence. The fbi tells me theres little somebody can do to stop a terrorist running down people in a car or truck. Weve seen it several times in recent months. But craig fair says the objective is to get ahead of the threat, what he calls left of boom. Before the explosion, not after. Youre talking about information before the act takes place . Thats absolutely correct. We rely on all members of all communities to let us know when there is a potential act of terror. Youve heard it before, see something, say something. Several times after these events, theres a neighbor or a friend who says, yeah, he was acting weird or talking about doing something, but i didnt believe him. Its better to call the police and be wrong than not call the police and have something horrible happen. I think everybody is afraid to be the boy who called wolf. You cant be too careful.

Reporter the city of richmond is going to federal court to stop President Donald Trump from executing a january order that threatens to cut federal funding to sanctuary cities. The way the executive order is written, they can just at their own discretion say were cutting off your funds. No hearing. Theres a lot we dont know. We just want to stop it. Reporter richmonds mayor says much of the citys federal money goes to its housing authority, about 27 million a year. The police chief says the citys sanctuary policy helps his department.

So basically if theyre in schools, theyre going to be safe. Reporter the memorandum is an unprecedented move. It would be very unexpected in most School Districts, but this one is a little different. Almost half the students in the novato unified School District come from homes where english is a second language. I think the police and the School People have more things to do than that. Reporter in a county that cast only 16 of its votes for donald trump, no one disagreeing with the policy cared to talk about the memorandum, not on camera anyway, but the undocumented did talk. Do they trust the Novato Police . I trust more here than san jose or richmond police. Reporter meantime, police say trust is essential to keep the undocumented from becoming preyed upon as victims. In schools, its more simple. A mantra. I dont want to know. I dont care. Any kid comes to our school, were going to educate them. Reporter every day they can. In novato, wayne freedman, abc 7 news.

Steelhead trout are an endangered protected species and here in the east bays biggest watershed theres been a big effort afoot to restore them to this habitat, and the big payoff came today. Five steelhead trout were netted today, four males and one female. That may not sound like a lot, but for this fishery manager, its a bonanza. A single female can have up to 8,000 eggs. They can reproduce quite a bit as long as we allow them to go into the proper habitat where they like to spawn. Reporter thats upstream. These trout keep getting hung up in a concrete barrier. Our volunteers have seen them there every single day and theyre jumping, trying to get over this and its physically impossible. Reporter so they got a little help from their human friends.
