Tonight weir getting our first look at who the fallen officer was. And we have Team Coverage beginning with joe vazquez. Joe. Jewel yet, i spoke with officers brother right outside the hospital here tonight, and he told me his brother is well loved, well known throughout the Bart Police Department and, in fact, is known to our viewers, as well, as we have interviewed him in the recent past. It appears there was words exchanged. Just last year, detective Sergeant Tom Smith was on kpix 5 telling our viewers about a shooting at a bart station. He was 42 years old, a member of a Law Enforcement family. His two brothers are cops at two other bay area Law Enforcement agencies. His wife, kelly, was his colleague, a bart police k9 officer. Sergeant tom smith leave bes hind a young daughter. Condolences goes out to immediate family and friends. Toms brother told me that tom was a great guy with a wicked sense of humor, loved his 49ers. Just this past weekend, he and his brothers were comparing notes about how far off they are from retirement. The Alameda CountySheriffs Department will be conducting this investigation. We ask that everyone please give us a chance to catch our breath, grieve, and well be doing an update probably tomorrow morning. Sergeant smiths brother, who is a cop in the newark Police Department told me that theyre taking this as well as they can. They have talked about this possibility as Law Enforcement family, but still it hurts, and they are going to have to inform this young girl that her father is not coming home. Reporting live, im joe vazquez, kpix 5. After the shooting and the initial investigation, the body was taken by Police Escort from dublin to the Alameda CountyCoroners Office in oakland where the autopsy will be performed. Officers saluted again as the casket was taken into the building. Andria borba is at the scene where this all started, an apartment complex in dublin. Andria well, just about eight hours after this investigation began, it wrapped up 15 minutes ago with investigators hopefully having the information they need to have some answers. Hours after the shooting, Alameda County sheriffs Crime Lab Technicians were still looking at this dublin apartment. Were in the process of of going through the whole scene and and trying to reconstruct what happened and ultimately find out what led up to this. The tragic shooting began unfolding at 1 07 when four bart officers were conducting a probation search at the home of a bart robbery suspect in the park sierra apartments. The officers all wearing ballistics vests went in, and as is standard protocol, had their weapons drawn. They knew the suspect was in custody, but they were doing a probation search of his apartment in connection with the robberies so then they went in, and obviously you dont know whos inside somebodys apartment so thats why they did the way they did. Less than an hour after the search began at 1 59, one of the guns discharged firing a single round and mortally wounding sergeant smith. Rob lived across from building 17 where the shooting happened and tells kpix 5 the complex was then flooded with grimlooking officers. A few minutes i was here, looked like somebody that was a bart supervisory type of officer showed up looking very concerned with a couple of people in civilian clothes with him, and so definitely could tell something out of the ordinary was going on. The shaken officers were possibly already aware of the terrible news, that sergeant smith, rushed to ede N Medical Center in castro valley, had already died and become bart polices first in the line of duty death ever. Andria, im wondering, i think most people would believe that bart Police Officers work pretty much on the system on the trains. How often are they involved in these kinds of offtrack, if you will, probation searches . Well, ken, they are, in fact, full Police Officers in the state of california even though, in fact, they tend we tend to think of them as transit officers so any time theres an investigation, they are allowed to go within any city in california, any county in california and conduct investigations. Now, thats typically in conjunction with the local agency, and in this case, Dublin Police were out front when this incident happened inside this apartment here in dublin. Understood. All right. Andria borba reporting live. Thank you. As we mentioned, this is the first time a bart Police Officer has been killed in the line of duty. Before today, the last bart Police Shooting was twoandahalf years ago. Involved an officer shooting and killing a homeless man with a knife at a San Francisco bart station, then, of course, there was the nowinfamous oscar grant shooting five years ago. The officer said he was going for his taser. Instead he pulled out his service revol ver kilg an unarmed passenger. Bart has since made a lot of changes. Officers now receive 40 hours a year of training on the use of force. 70 more than they used to. Take a look at this. Youre looking at the damage when a pot heist went south. Betty yee shows us the incredible part is how the guy tried to make his getaway. Betty. Juliette, it seemed like he had it all planned out. Police say the burglar is familiar with this pot club behind me because hes actually a customer here, but he wasnt prepared to run from police. Thats why he ended uptaking an elevator out of service. He was in the elevator shaft because he was refusing to come out. This is how Police Officers confirmed a pot club burglar was indeed hiding for at least two hours this morning. They broke through the wall to find him trapped between two floors on top of the elevator car in west san jose. That was the hard part. We needed to force open the elevators and then convince him to come down. It was apparently a small, cramped space. So this is the stuff he was after, marijuana from the haze dispensary about three doors down in the strip mall on hillsdale avenue. Police say he broke in through the roof and tripped the alarm around 2 15 this morning. So he got up on his tiptoes, and he broke. 30 minutes later he made his way into dance boulevard through the window. This isnt exactly the work of a criminal master mind. From what i saw, he had dumped his stash, and he was just trying to escape from his own mayhem. The crook did quite a bit of damage to the office. At one point, he kicked down this door looking for a way out. I think he was high, and so he wasnt thinking straight. Hans smit is looking at more than a hundred thousand dollars in damage to his elevator. The thief is looking at jail time. He got away with nothing. He did complain of pain after being stuck in the spot for too long. We dont yet know his name, but police tell us that the burglar is 50 years old. Hes now at the Santa Clara County jail. Hes facing two counts of commercial burglary, one count of criminal mischief. Live in west san jose, Betty Yu Kpix 5. In oakland tonight, there has been a shooting involving a chp k9 unit. About two hours ago, an officer was chasing a suspect on foot. It ended on wentworth avenue near 54th with shots fired. The officer was not hurt, but the dog was. It was loaded into an ambulance. Still unclear exactly what happened. We dont know yet the condition of the k9. Also, a tense standoff in san jose today. It ended up with the police and the help of a police dog. Police say a manholed himself up in an Apartment Building after attacking two officers. Four hours later, the suspect tried to escape, but a dog with the k9 unit bit him before he could take off. Also, tonight weve learned there could be as many as three black widows planning to attack the winter games in sochi. Police are circulating this poster warning of the possible presence of two more suicide bombers. The name black widow refers to women whose militant husbands or brothers were killed by Security Forces who may be out for revenge. Russians say the woman on the left may already be dead. Theyre also trying to find the first black widow, who they fear is waiting to strike. Remember the polar vortex . East coast being pounded by round two of a winter storm. People in new york through boston could see more than a foot of snow by the time they wake up tomorrow. And the nations capitol was at a standstill today. The intense snowfall forced most government offices to close. Travel is also a nightmare. Airlines across the country cancelled more than 2500 flights today. And the frigid temperatures created this picturesque sight in new york city. Illuminated by city lights, the Empire State Building looks like it belonged in a snow globe. The snow is coming out fast and furious and started earlier on this afternoon. It will stack up quickly. Snowfall rates at 1 to 2 inches per hour. Spring seems very far away that part of the country. It could be early to mid february until that region sees any break from winters wrath. Some people brave the weather. These people in dcs Dupont Circle park engage in an allout snowball fight. All right. Taking a live look at sfo tonight, the airport cancelled a total of 57 flights today so call ahead. Derailing a new danger, fighting to keep this from happening to the most mrud polluted city in the bay area.

Allen martin shows us whats in store for more than 700 acres of prime real estate. Weve said bye bye baby. We relived the catch, we even managed to conjure up a certain warm, fuzzy feeling for the stadium fawns love fans love to hate. Now, its time to pull back the curtain and see whats coming to Candlestick Point. I think well get the building some time between august and october of this year, and then so some time between october of this year and february of next year, that building will be coming down. Bonner and urban released this 30she could video to give us some idea of how candlestick will transform over the next decade into retail, office, residential and open space. There will be parks. There will be jobs. There will be housing. There will be housing for a variety of different incomes and family styles, and there will be retail and neighborhood amenities. I think bike trails, i think it will be a very fabulous addition to this city. Theres more than 700 acres included in this twopart development, which includes both candlestick and Hunters Point shipyard next door. 100 acres will be parks and open space. Almost a million square feet will be developed into retail and office space, and there are plans for 6,000 homes on the candlestick property alone, which supervisor kohen says is badly needed for her district. This type of mixed income community, thats what youre thats the direction were trying to go in. Allen martin, kpix 5. Only on 5 tonight a bay area city is fighting to keep this from happening here. We first told you about plans to bring highly exclosive fuel to pittsburgh. Now, some heavy hitters are coming out against it, and Christin Ayers says they have science to back them up. What do we want . Now. They came here a couple of dozen people from pittsburgh to sound the alarm. These are like bombs on railroad tracks. When they derail, they imemployed. Theyre worried that this could happen in pittsburgh. Fiery explosions on cargo trains in north dakota and quebec. What both trains had in common . They were carrying fraked oil, a highly flammable, highly explosive type of crude oil that a Company Called west pack energy wants to start bringing to pittsburgh by rail and storing here before sending it by pipeline to the bay areas five refineries. But west packs plan may have hit a major snag. Attorney Generals Office just unleash add 12page letter criticizing it for failing to mention what type of crude its transporting and for targeting pittsburgh, a city listed as one of the most polluted in the bay area and that has the highest rate of asthma in contra costa county. West pack spokesman insisted to us earlier this month that the companys draft environmental report covers all those risks. Designed to be silent, odorless and safe. Tell that to the people of pittsburgh. We the people, the residents and voters of pittsburgh, ask you, our city council, to end this clear threat and vote against west pack. Thank you. [ cheers and applause ] in pittsburgh, Christin Ayers. The Pittsburgh City council did not make a decision tonight. They did meet with environmentals and residents tonight and assured them the city is listening to all sides. Well, it didnt exactly scream out dream home.

Teenagers have been breaking in and using it as a party house. You can see the disrepair and the graffiti. Well, neighbors say the parties go on practically every single weekend with dozens of cars parked along the street. We talked to one angry neighbor who says the owner needs to do something about it. Its a problem in our neighborhood, and i know its filled with graffiti. Its been a problem for quite a long time. Weve called the owner several times. She claims the owner has refused to do anything about the house other than put it up for sale. Get ready. The worlds best surfers are on alert tonight. The organizers have issued a yellow alert.

The drought could drive up the price of avocados. California grows about 90 of the nations crop, but the dry spring like weather is turning many of the trees brown. They have the frost problems, too.
