Nbc bay areas Michelle Roberts just spoke with that dogs owner. Reporter the dog is home tonight and doing okay. But still, not as healthy as it usually is. The owner says somebody knocks on the door, the dogs bark. They have a sign beware of the dog, which clearly these burglars didnt see as a deterrent. San jose police are looking for these two men. Surveillance cameras caught them walking down the street with a suitcase. Moments after breaking into a home on culpepper drive in san jose. Nightmare come true for them. Reporter it happened friday. The thieves not only burglarized the home, they also brutally attacked the family dog boba. His owner tony says hes thinking about moving. Tony took this cell phone video of the gruesome scene the burglars left behind. Bloody footprints scattered throughout the house. Just all this blood. The dogs okay. Reporter boba was beaten or kick sod badly he couldnt eat on his own. The vet says the 14pound pomeranian mix will be okay. Police have identified one of the men in this video, 18yearold josiah johnson, still on the loose. Theyve identified the cull pit. Reporter tony says his family will be on edge. The vet bill was over 1,000. Tony says friends, family, even strangers all pitched in to help cover that cost. He should be easy to spot, older man with long, gray hair and a beard. Campbell police are trying to track him down. They say he exposed himself to a woman outside the safe way store on hamilton avenue in campbell last month. The woman described the man as possibly being homeless and wearing a green army jacket. She says the man ran off when she entered that safe way store. Drastic times call for drastic measures. The San Jose Police department is considering a plan to help cover its severe staffing shortage. Require all fulltime officers to work overtime. Its a story youll see only on nbc bay area. Robert honda joins us live from Police Headquarters with more on this plan. Whats prompting the department to do this now . Reporter you can imagine the prospect of mandatory overtime is generating a lot of buzz. The top brass is looking for input from cops on this new plan because Officials Say right now, they just cant fill the patrol staffing gaps. San jose police have been trying stopgap measures to solve its staffing shortage. Even as the force dropped from a peak of about 1,300 to around 900 active officers. Nbc bay area has learned the department is now surveying the rank and file for input on a plan requiring mandatory overtime. One cop we talked to, a poa officer, got mad when he saw the survey. I was a bit offended. Because i took it as, which of these ideas that we have do you like best . Not, how are we going to fix this problem . Reporter the survey says socalled pay car shifts, meaning cops volunteering to fill patrol gaps, cannot meet the demand given current and projected staffing levels. So the flex car program, which rotates cops on patrols, would be replaced by the mandated overtime applied to all fullduty officers. Its going to be a detriment to the personal life but also cause more stress to them, more fatigue. So were concerned about this direction. Reporter a drop in Police Academy cadets may have helped lead to this plan. A new academy plas starts tomorrow and an already small group of 29 dropped to 22. Thats on top of 95 officers who resaned or retired. For every one new hire that comes in and at least temporarily stays, two officers are leaving. What were facing is a competitive disadvantage. We are in a competition with other agencies who offer better salaries, better benefits. Reporter now, the Police Department says it has been working on a possible plan for months because of an expected surge in retirements. They hope to have the survey completed by october 20th. Coming up at 6 00, more on the proposal, the survey, and the possible painful options ahead. This just in.

The driver pit a hit a power pole and public works reinstall the power pole. The victims name, the man who died, has not been released. Earthquake pressure. Literally, pressure is building on californias underground fault system. A new usgs study reinforces what seismologists have been saying for years, the bay area is overdue for a major seismic event. Such as the loma prieta earthquake in 1989. Coincidentally the 20th anniversary of that quake is this friday. Here are the latest findings. Geologists say theyre seeing no creep on these fault lines which are all linked to the san andreas fault. No creep means no pressure is being released, therefore tension is building for earthquakes with a magnitude of 6. 8 or greater. There are big plans for redevelopment, but is the land safe for people to actually live on . Were talking about Hunters Point in San Francisco. There are new questions today after we obtained an internal report questioning the radiation cleanup at the former naval shipyard. Vicky nguyen joins us with more. Reporter the exclusive details are in this report leaked by sources close to the cleanup. Its an investigation that was conducted by tetro tech. The Company Admits it collected and supplied Critical Data that was false. In october 2012, the navy discovered tetrotech handed in samples inconsistent with other samples. These samples were supposedly clear of radiation. Turns out they were collected from a completely different area of the shipyard. When crews retested the area they found some locations that had elevated levels of radiation. This is land slated for homes, parks, and offices. They basically collected a false sample, analyzed it, and then put a report out that had false results. This is huge. This is a very, very big incident. Reporter t echetra tech 39e comment but the company says it disciplined and retrained staff and has not had a recurrence of the false data. Well have much more tonight in our full investigation at 11 00. If you have a tip for the investigative unit, we urge you to give us a call, 888996tips. Or send us an email theunit nbcbayarea. Com.

Meanwhile, new survey from National Nurses united shows that 3 of 4 nurses feel their hospital has not provided sufficient education on ebola. And nearly 40 of nurses polled say their hospital did not have all the supplies needed to contain the virus. Coming up at 5 30, what went wrong . Nightly news goes indepth on the new ebola case in dallas and the questions raised about how nina pham became infected.

The dow and nasdaq lost nearly 1. 5 . Taking a dive, prices at the pump which drivers are happy to see, plummeting an average of 20 cents a gallon over the last month. There is speculation prices will continue to fall as we head into the holiday season. Kimberly terry is live in emeryville with more on the reasons behind this drop. Reporter the National Average for a gallon of unleaded is 3. 21 today. And some analysts think that might fall below 3 by christmas. Of course here in the bay area we do expect to pay more.

Reporter which is why many couldnt believe their eyes this weekend when prices at this new gas station in pleasanton dropped below 3 bucks a gallon. 2. 99 is unbelievable. It was packed for days.

Over the last month prices for a gallon of regular unleaded in the bay area have dropped between 16 to 20 cents a gallon. And some analysts predict we might see prices plummet another 30 by christmas. If we dont have any major storms throughout the winter, and barring any unforeseen geopolitical situation, we should see the gas prices continue to descend. Weve had high prices for so long, this is going to be quite a present for us for christmas if that happens. Reporter aaa attributes the drop in gas prices to a few things. Less drivers on the road, a major increase in u. S. Production of crude oil, and refineries switching over to the lessexpensive winter blend of gasoline. It would be great. Lets keep it going down. It would be fine with me. Reporter a aaa spokesperson says the low prices could influence the way families travel this holiday season. They could choose to drive now instead of flying or using other forms of transportation. Gas prices are dropping across the bay area.

Even the cardinals talked about the beautiful wither in northern california. Were hoping that tomorrow it will cool them off just a little bit. The practice looked pretty much as it always does. A little catch, a little toss. Except that you feel an edge in the air this time that just isnt there during the regular season. Theres always a sizzle in the air. You see the bunting around the ballpark. Everybody says theres an air of excitement that you cant have during the regular season because the stakes are so high. So were excited.

Rarely, if ever, get a chance to go in and cover a game. Never been in an interview situation with the coach before. Today i got a chance to sit in the room and ask bruce bochy a question.
