Highway 17. There are reports the suspect hit several cars before his car finally broke down near red wood estates. At that point Scotts Valley police opened fire, but dont know whether they hit the suspect who ultimately disappeared into the woods. Swat teams are here including sheriffs deputies from santa cruz and santa clara county. Chp is also here along with the fbi. Nearby schools were locked down for several hours. That was terrifying for parents, but the kids seemed a little less worried. Its always scary for a parent to hear that there was a shooter nearby and now the school is in lock down and you cant get to your son. Reporter how scary was it . It was actually kind of exciting for me, but they didnt really tell us everything right away. Reporter there is no real description of the suspect other than the surveillance picture we have. The good news for commuters again is that the southbound lanes of highway 17 will reopen at 6 30 tonight. Thats the prediction. Northbound lanes still have to gather evidence on the north lanes. They will reopen at about 8 30. Well stand by and bring the latest at 6 30 this evening. Were live along highway 17. Im damien trujillo. This is another live look from the chopper above 17. Drivers have been telling you no luck going through the Santa Cruz Mountains today. Here is a look at the traffic map. As damien mentioned northbound highway 17 closed at the summit and maybe will reopen around 8 30 this evening. Southbound closed at bear creek and it hopes to reopen at 6 30. Nbc bay areas Garvin Thomas has spent the entire day stuck on that highway. He joins us now via face time. Garvin, what a disaster out there. Reporter it has been. I was not stuck in this by choice, ill tell you that. Let me give you a look at what things look like right now. You heard that the summit, northbound lanes are going to be opening at 8 30. This is what it looks like right now as we speak. It is i pulled off and its safe where i am. I flipped around on the southbound lanes. The returning traffic around, they are looking now, that is the line of traffic coming northbound on 17. Just as they get to summit ave at the travel, by that sign up there, the illuminated sign, thats where people are being forced off. Right now theyre working all the traffic northbound to turn around and go southbound. Theyre not giving them any choice to get off or go to santa cruz highway at the moment. As you said, jessica, i was in the traffic jamb all day long. It started around 10 00 this morning, i would pass by a couple police cars going northbound on 17. Not too long after, we found ourselves stuck, dead stop because of the activity near red wood estates. For some of us it was four hours in that spot with absolutely no movement. The only way we got out from there is that the chp started turning cars around one by one from the back of the logjam and doing it that way. So, it took four hours. I talked to people who were late for work, missed work completely, missed flights completely. Still, once everybody had the situation explained to them, people were pretty understanding all along. One of the difficulties adding to all this is once 17 gets closed, because of all the challenges with the weather lately and all the mudslides, many of the side roads locals know, rely on were closed because of mudslides. Santa cruz highway they werent allowed down from because of the active search. For most people there was no way to get from santa cruz into the south bay at all for many hours today. As you can see if you want to look back live, if theyre trying now, its going to take them many more hours before they are able to get up and over the hill. Jessica, raj, back to you. Thank you, garvin. We hope you make it home soon, too. Yes, as garvin was mentioning, 17 lately has been bee sieged by problems. Last week storms and trees. Of course well continue to monitor the situation in the Santa Cruz Mountains. We will go go back to damian at 6 30 and also updating our digital platforms 24 7. Our other headlines this evening, more drama surrounding president donald trump. His proposed border wall isnt only dividing americans, its creating ape standoff with the president of the of mexico. Today the Trump Administration offered some suggestions on how to pay for that multibillion dollar wall. Specifically, a 20 tax hike on all the goods we import from mexico. Among our leading imports from mexico, cars, computers and telecom services. By doing it that way we can do 10 million a year and easily pay for the wall just through that mechanism alone. Heres the impact, though. Its the American Consumers who would be paying those taxes, meaning under this plan its actually the American Consumers, not mexico paying for the wall. Tonight white house official say its just one of many ideas they are considering. Here in the bay area, the protests continue. The president s orders on immigration and pipelines getting the most backlash here. Nbc bay areas Michelle Roberts joins us from the San Francisco Federal Building where another antitrump protest is happening right now. Michelle. Reporter thats right, raj. A couple hundred people are gathered on the other side of the building. More than a thousand are expected tonight. This particular protest is focusing on the dakota and key stone pipeline and many of the organizers you can see them walking by, say they want their voices to be heard. For you today to say i am confident that San Francisco will lead the way for the entire nation. Reporter San Francisco mayor ed lee vowed to defend the city from what he called cynical attacks from d. C. We are a sanctuary city now, tomorrow, forever. [ applause ] reporter in this mornings state of the city address, mayor lee received a standing ovation after promising to fight for undocumented immigrants. I heard that from mayor lee, we have got to take responsibility for our people. Reporter the speech comes one day after President Trump signed orders increasing deportation efforts and cutting funding to immigration sanctuary cities. If and when the federal cuts come, we will be united behind our promises and our values. Reporter according to mayor lee, San Francisco receives a billion federal dollars a year for everything from Homeless Housing to immigration services. While many across the country applaud President Trumps tough stance on immigration, a small group of protesters gathered outside the Federal Building in San Francisco to once again protest the president s stance on women and immigration rights. This is a fascist regime. We are determined to resist it. Reporter for this group of protesters and mayor ed lee, it seems the uncertainty of what will come next is inspiring a defiant front in San Francisco. Our citys compassion, our heart has been tested. Reporter well, the mayor also went on to say it is so important to increase homeless assistance and low Income Housing throughout the city. Reporting live in San Francisco, im Michelle Roberts, nbc bay area news. Okay, thank you, michelle. Well, next in the barrel, the Environmental Protection agency. There is growing concern that the Trump Administration will soon cut as much as a billion dollars from the epa budget and cut its work force, too. Effectively silencing Government Research and Scientific Evidence on Critical Issues like vaccine safety and climate change. Thats the concern. Nbc bay areas liz joins us where scientists are voicing those concerns. I understand organizing as well. This was, he said it on the campaign trail, not a fan of the epa. Reporter absolutely. And scientists here at cal and across the country for that matter are so concerned theyre taking to social media, even planning a march in washington, d. C. Similar to the recent womens march biologist Michael Eisen admits he is most comfortable in side of his lab at u. C. Berkeley, but says this is war. Its not just about science. Its about something much bigger. Reporter today a former trump advisor told the Associated Press the president may cut a billion dollars out of the epas budget. Theyre the eyes of the government. Reporter mr. Trump has also institute the a media black out to federal agencies, preventing scientists from talking about their research. He took to twitter saying hed share it for them, especially policy makers. Shutting off the ability of scientists to talk to legislators is forcing them to make decisions with their eyes closed. The Trump Administration is about to launch a war against science. Reporter the union of concerned scientists also worries the Trump Administration is lethal to science. We see Climate Science web pages of the u. S. Government being taken down at the state department. Reporter but says his National Advocacy group based in boston is seeing a growing number of scientists pushing back. Scientists wanting to march and wanting to organize because from their point of view, a world of alternative facts is not the world that they operate on. If we dont take a stance now, god knows whats in the next attack on science going to be. Reporter and that professor also fears trump sometime in the future could cut federal grants funding Science Research at universities like this one. So far that hasnt happened. Meanwhile its unclear when that march organized by scientists will take place at the capital. Reporting live in berkeley tonight im elise kirchner, nbc bay area news. Thank you. Our Investigative Unit has been crutching the numbers on President Trumps executive orders. He signed a dozen of these orders since taking office less than a week ago. Keep in mind many orders, executive orders are not carried out due to financial or legal roadblocks. President obama signed five executive actions in his first week in office, including an order to close guantanamo bay. Guantanamo bay, however, was never closed despite the order. George w. Bush signed two executive orders during his first week. President clinton also signing two executive actions his first week, compared all this by the 12 so far by mr. Trump. Now, our coverage continues on our website. You can find the latest updates and hear more from the president thats at nbcbayarea. Com.

Reporter well, i can tell you that we spoke today with a woman who says that she lost three family members in that deadly san bruno explosion, and she had emotional and mixed reaction to all this. We also heard from the mayor of san bruno. And while he said this is satisfying in some ways, but for them this whole thing wont end. This is a chapter thats closing in my life. Reporter sue shared her thoughts about a federal judges sentencing of pg e for violating Pipeline Safety and obstruction. She lost her husband, son and motherinlaw in the san bruno explosion. I thought the judgment was strong, but, you know, its never enough because i can never get my family back. Reporter the order includes a 3 million fine. It also orders pg e to spend millions on print and Television Ads publicizing its convictions and prevention efforts, along with a federal safety monitor. Mayor says the monitor is critical. Justice was served today and transparency will come with the independent monitor. He gave them a lot of leeway into pg es record keeping, financials. Reporter pg e will also have to perform 10,000 hours of community service, 2000 by highlevel employees, preferably in san bruno where scars run deep. What happened here was so very serious, i mean, its more than money, its more than politics. People died and we want some recognition of that, and i think the judge did that today. Reporter pg e issued a statement saying in part we want san bruno and all of the communities we serve to know that we at pg e have committed ourselves to a goal of transforming this company into the safest, most Reliable Energy provider in america, and to reearning their trust through our actions. Its going to be very hard for them to restore a trust in us as citizens. Reporter now, this is the lot where sues home once stood.

The man reportedly fell asleep at the wheel early this morning, crashing into the creek. You see the car down below. He broke his windshield and then swam to shore. This comes just days after an 18yearold woman presumably drowned after her honda plunged into that same creek. Well, the relentless rain throughout this month means the worst of our drought has been wiped out. Want to show you a map which shows the Drought Conditions throughout the state at this time last year versus now. 51 of california remains in some category of drought compared to 95 a year ago. According to the weekly u. S. Drought monitor report, no areas of the state are considered to be under exceptional drought. The report cautions that groundwater is still critically low and it will take awhile to buildup. And at one point if i remember just a couple years ago, it seemed like everybody was exceptionally it was all red. I think twothirds in the state was in that worst category. And while were undergoing this recent drying trend that we do need, we will see a lot of our snow pack and rain season totals drop about 20 into next week. So, we still need to get more storms in here over the next two months. Were just hoping for a lot more spacing in between them so we can avert any kind of major flooding. Right now outside 51 in san jose. Its all about clear skies tonight dropping temperatures down to a cold 45 at 11 00 p. M. Throughout the south bay. Well take you to the east bay in concord.

Then we get the chance of rain returning by wednesday and thursday. Possibly even into friday of next week, some storm activity as well. So, i want to focus in on the anticipated totals. Weve seen it go up a little bit from yesterdays forecast. Were looking at one to possibly 2 inches in the north bay. San francisco, east bay and the south bay anywhere from three quarters of an inch possible to just over 1 inch. Again, thats from next wednesday into friday. Lake tahoes forecast does also have sunny and dry weather through next tuesday. Then we get the possibility of snow into next wednesday and thursday. So, some time to clean up also up across lake tahoe. Another update at 6 49 tonight well take a look at the air quality for tomorrow. Very good. Well shea you shortly. Thanks, jeff.

Also advertisers are trying to get the most bang for their buck so theyre releasing some super bowl commercials early online. We posted some on our home page. Okay, it is ticking. Were talking about the socalled Doomsday Clock. Still ticking and thats actually not a good thing. Its an unofficial barometer of worldwide dang eras it relates to Nuclear Weapons. Many scientists take it seriously. Scott joins us with details. Scott. Those scientists tell us the combination of international and technology are making these dangerous times. Today we move the clock a half minute closer to midnight. Reporter but on this clock, midnight doesnt mean a late night party. Its the Doomsday Clock, now standing at 2 1 2 minutes to midnight, a metaphor for how close the world is to global catastrophe. Moving forward by 30 seconds because of climate change, along with nuclear and cyber threats. Unfortunately, nuclear volatility has been and continues to be the order of the day. Reporter the clock which moves closer or further away from doomsday based on the state of the world hasnt been this close to midnight since 1953 during the cold war between u. S. And russia. Now a revival of nuclear concern. There are close to 15,000 Nuclear Weapons in the world. The United States and russia each have at least 5,000 weapons apiece. Workable weapons. Reporter the Doomsday Clock was created 70 years ago. The Scientists Say its not just tension between the u. S. And russia moving the doom day clock. Nuclear arms they say is making the standoff between india and pakistan also potentially very dangerous. Raj . Scott, thank you. Well, getting a call to degree here in california got less expensive.

Well follow the money down a path some are complaining about next. Reporter im damien along highway 17. It remains closed. The manhunt for a bank robber continues. The latest is coming up. Right now at 6 30, a major problem for thousand of commuters this evening. Highway 17 remains shut down during an ongoing manhunt for a suspected bank robber. But this might be getting better. The situation near los gatos any minute now. The robbery happened in Scotts Valley, then a shooting on 17 where the suspect crashed and then vanished into the mountains leading to that search. Nbc bay areas Damian Trujillo has been there all day long. They were going to open the southbound lane by 6 30. Whats the update . Reporter were still waiting, jessica. Im looking at the southbound lanes now, the highway remains closed. Good news, the Old Santa Cruz highway has been reopened. That at least is another artery for folks who are desperate to get home from work at this point. But were waiting. They said 6 30 for the southbound lane, about 8 30 for the northbound lanes. The manhunt continues up here in the Santa Cruz Mountains. We are waiting to get an update from police as far as where that might be at this point. We do have video of the crime scene that happened just about after 11 30 this morning. Officers were with heavy fire power scoured the area along highway 17 where the suspect apparently crashed his car. Police released a surveillance picture of the suspect. They may the man robbed a bank of america in Scotts Valley and led police on a chase north on highway 17. There are reports that the suspect hit several cars during the chase and his car finally failed him at red wood estates. The Scotts Valley Police Officer fired at least one round at the suspect, but its not clear if he was hit. Thats where police say the robber ran into the woods, triggering the manhunt. It includes at least two s. W. A. T. Team trucks. Local schools were put on lock down. It was scary for parents, but apparently the kids werent as worried. Its always scary for a parent to hear that there was a shooter nearby and now the school is in lock down and you cant get to your son. Reporter how scary was it . It was actually kind of exciting for me, but they didnt really tell us everything right away. Reporter now, heres one more look at the surveillance picture of the suspect released by police. The school lock down was called off just before 2 00 this afternoon. Both northbound and southbound directions again of highway 17 remain closed at this hour. Were seeing some cars a little bit of movement on the southbound lanes right now, but still not officially opened as of yet. Police might be scaling back their manhunt throughout the night, but they will have a presence out here nonetheless. Were live along highway 17. Im Damian Trujillo, nbc bay area. Well be checking with damian. Weve been tracking all along with digital platform. If you want to get the latest check our twitter feed at nbcbayarea. Com. Whats happening with all that money . Nbc bay area responds to concerns about fundraising for the victims of the oakland warehouse fire. Nearly a Million Dollars of donations and counting. And some continue to donate for this. Obviously for the warehouse fire and those victims. Consumer investigator kris chmura are asking where are those contributions and has any of it actually been sent out yet . Reporter its a burning question. We have start today hear from people impacted by the fire that they are not getting the donations. So, we spent the past four weeks asking questions, pulling records, and following the money flow. Ive never seen anything burn that quickly that big. Reporter december 3rd, the day after the devastating fire, a small nonprofit took charge collecting contributions. Gray Area Foundation for the arts, its founder spoke with us. Every penny thats donated here goes to the fire victims, funeral expenses, medical expenses and Health Related expenses. Thats our priority first and foremost. Reporter the city of oakland directed money to gray area and money poured in. Were like what can we do. Reporter steel donated profits from her oakland restaurant. Two to three hour window, i think it was like 600 that we raised. We felt really good. Reporter the running total of donations coming in is 901,000. Some say the total given to victims is zero. Why is it taking so long . They know what were doing. They know we lost our home. We lost everything. Reporter carmen was living in the ghost ship when the fire broke out. Two weeks ago she told nbc bay areas vicky nguyen she needs help. She as well as others who wouldnt go on camera say they received cash assistance hours after the fire from the red cross which distributed money from a fund led by the as warriors and raiders. The gray area has provided no money. They kind of just didnt seem to get it. Reporter that surprised us because the gray area founder said she enlisted the red cross to help manage the fund. This is what they do, were not going to tree to reinvent the wheel. Reporter they opted to manage the fund itself on its own schedule. I would like to have seen an immediate handout. Reporter weve been asking gray area for information for weeks. Today the founder agreed to a followup interview. She confirmed all the money is sitting idle in a bank account. We havent spent a dime. Reporter she said she has heard peoples concerns, but assures them the gray area is beginning to approve applications. Eventually well be getting a check the next couple of days to weeks. So, i think at a certain point theyll begin to be thankful and most people are thankful. Its just a few vocal people that are speaking out. Reporter as for why its taken close to two months, she attributed it to delays to getting records from the city and the coreener which she said the red cross had immediate access to. It was a huge hold up in us having the information that we needed to serve the people that were affected. Reporter our Research Found another hiccough. A call from the attorney general, records we pulled showed the state sent gray area three different delinquency letters last year for failing to file financial records. One notice from august warned of the states intent to suspend or revoke its registration as a charity. Gray area told us it was unaware of the letters until late december when the Attorney Generals Office called. We cleared that up within 72 hours of the phone call with the attorney general. So, that is completely a nonissue. Reporter not everyone agrees. If the group cant get it together to get their finances reported, their basic Public Disclosure documents provided to the state of california and the irs, then how can they be expected to get it together to get this huge quick influx of funds to the needed victim . Its really a bad sign. Reporter Charity Watch which scrutinizes nonprofits questioned gray areas decision to administer the funds. Theres certainly groups in the bay area that are better equipped and have the experience to handle the disasters such as this warehouse fire. Reporter the victim and donors we talked to told us they just want gray area to distribute the 900 grand with the same urgency the sympathetic public donated it. I dont think anybody who gave money was like, yes, i want this money to sit in the bank of a foundation dragging its feet. I understand its a difficult process to weed out, but there has to be a better way to make it happen. Faster. Reporter gray area is still collecting donations. It increased its fundraising goal several times including a 50,000 bump today alone. Its web page says it will continue upping the target. As far as applications are concerned, the deadline is march 7. Jess . Thank you very much. Our Investigative Unit has been digging into the wear fire for weeks.
