Its a break in a case a san jose family has been waiting for. Police arresting three suspects for shooting a father to death. The suspects are luis gonzalez, alexander reyna, and michael castro. Richard watkins was killed while he was in the driveway of his own home off monterey road last month. Watkins, the father of two girls and had a son on the way, as well. Investigators are checking on the registered sex offenders who live in palo alto to see if any matches the descriptions of a man who exposed himself to two young girls. This sketch was released yesterday. Officers say this man is considered dangerous. Police think the man followed a 14yearold girl as she walked home from school on monday.

Police have added extra patrols in the area in case he shows up again. New details now on the burglar posing as an i. T. Worker on the peninsula. Four Office Buildings have been hit by this guy in burlingame in the last month or so. The man walks in, claims to be there to check the internet, and after pretending to work, he leaves with items like wallets and computers. Businesses in san mateo and palo alto report similar incidents with the man and police have named him the i. T. Poser. Because he kind of looks like an i. T. Guy and is representing himself to be an i. T. Worker, but as you can see in the photo, he generally tends to wear the same type of clothing, wears a lanyard with a badge on it, no picture on it. Sometimes he puts it on his pants, sometimes on his shirt. Police say the lesson here is, businesses should always verify workers who are coming in are actually employed by the company they claim to represent. Investigators dont believe the i. T. Poser is dangerous. Whenever hes questioned or confronted, he does leave the building. Kind of awkward to question people in your building.

Levis stadium early on worked great for soccer. Soccer is a little different than football, but we have more time to get it installed and get everything right and we have time to test it, so we think its going to work perfectly. Theyve been kicking it around on the practice field for a while now. The team kicks off its season at its new stadium in march. Well, from soccer to hockey, it was redemption for the way the season ended, revenge, sharks playing spoiler.

If i hit someone with my taxi cab, the cab who i drive and dispatch for will pay all of their medical bills, so why hasnt uber done that for anybody thats been injured by an uber driver .

Led Coalition Forces are bombing isis positions near the syrian town of kobani. It fell to militants earlier this week, but as Richard Engel shows us, American Forces and its allies are not giving up. Reporter the u. S. Military has dramatically increased air strikes around kobani. Kobani is a strategically significant town right on the Turkish Border that has been attacked by isis militants for the last three weeks, and the u. S. Military says in just the last 36 hours, it has carried out 23 Different Air strikes around kobani. They have attacked isis tanks, isis troop positions, a small concentration of isis fighters, a larger cluster of isis militants. The question is, why did the u. S. Wait so long . It is much more difficult now to dislodge isis from kobani because the militants are already in the city. The u. S. Air strikes are focusing around kobani. The isis fighters who are not yet in the city, but the u. S. Is not carrying out air strikes inside kobani itself because of fear of civilian causalities, fear that while trying to attack isis, they could inadvertently attack the kurdish defenders of kobani. The kurdish militants defending kobani say they still control the majority of the city. Isis has taken over about a third of kobani, and this has really become a test case for the u. S. Strategy in iraq and syria. The u. S. Promised to defeat isis, now its taking action in kobani, but it is taking action after the militants already entrenched themselves in the city.

Lets check in with christina loren. It is, but you know whats interesting, the rel mantomans of that typhoon are going to produce some of that ample rainfall that were talking about. It all ties together, so lets talk about whats happening right here, right now, first and foremost. Dont think for a second i didnt notice that haircut, scott. We have a really good looking day shaping up. Temperatures are comfortable, it feels like fall, high clouds moving in, but overall, a good looking day. Mid 60s now, sun is starting to make an appearance, were going to climb, and nicely. 73 degrees on the east shore, thats it. Places like oakland, fremont, and we always like to tell you the difference when it comes to the east bay because the valleys are so much warmer. Thats 84 degrees for the trivalley today. Pretty big difference, but not too bad. 80 degrees for the south bay, and well hit a comfortable 77 degrees, Beautiful Day on the peninsula. So i want to show you this, looking pretty good on 880 through oakland, maybe youre getting ready to take a drive, thats always good to know. Throughout the weekend, temperatures are going to heat up for fleet weekend, and were talking about a return of the mid 90s inland and 80s at the beaches with some big changes coming our way as we head through next week. So first i want to show you the totals, then were going to talk about the timing, but this is part of the reason why as we get some of the moisture from that very powerful typhoon. So this is what were working with when it comes to the first round of rain, because like i said, we could be looking at two consecutive weeks with rain in the forecast just about every single day. Two and a half inches slated for ukiah. These numbers could come up, or they could fall dramatically, but right now were also bringing in whats called a sub tropical moisture tap, and for us, thats the game changer. Thats what brings in the high totals. If you got nothing to do this weekend, you want to say hi, shake my hand, id love to shake yours, 84 degrees, Silicon Valley dogfest in cupertino, should be a good time out there. We are going to get warm over the course of the weekend, cooling you off as we head through sunday, into monday. Anything outdoors you want to do will be warm, just keep that in mind. Big changes on the way, whole new wardrobe as we meet back here next week. Tuesday we get our first chance for rain. Its going to be very slim, about 20 , but then watch what happens. Look at this powerful storm system, ample moisture comes through the bay area and looks like were going to be measuring that rain in inches with more on its tail. I got to tell you guys, im excited about this. We need it, and this could actually give us some pretty good totals, help us get out of the deficit. Back to you. Certainly would like that.
