Transofficials tried to keep experts from vocalizing their objections. New information from that hearing and theres another one on the way. This issue is far from over. Especially with high speed rail on the horizon. And rather than selling a new handgun model in the state of california they would rather just not comply with the state law and not sell the gun at all. Well look at what the new law is and how its affecting gun owners. A lot coming up. First the weather. Weather forecast. Similar to what we saw yesterday, was a lovely day around much of the area.

Oakland police are intensifying their search for a teen considered armed and dangerous. The reward for the capture of 14yearold Mario Tolliver jr. Is now 10,000. The boy is accused of fatally shooting his 17yearold sister in this oakland apartment. Surveillance video shows the boy running out of the apartment with a gun in his hand on thursday.

Police say the officer was checking vacant units for squatters yesterday. The officer says 9 large dog ran after him in attack mode. Neighbors are familiar with the dogs aggressive behavior. As they affectionately nicknamed him psycho. Psycho charged an officer. The officer retreated as best he could, nowhere else to go, fired a round and killed the dog unfortunately. The owner is questioned as to whether he commanded the dog to attack the officer. Back to you. New this morning bits and pieces of information continue to surface about how a bart Police Officer fatally shot a colleague but a spokesperson for the agency leading the Investigation Called recent reports inaccurate. I spoke with Alameda County sheriffss spokesperson, and he told me several News Agencies released some misinformation. In todays edition of the San Francisco chronicle a report says a bart Police Officer mistakenly thought his supervisor was an armed suspect before opening fire. The chronicle says investigators do not consider the shooting of Sergeant Tommy smith, head of detectives, to be the result of an accidentality gun discharge. He says the other officer made a splitsecond decision and fired his gun. The officers were in plainclothes and searching the apartment of a robbery suspect who was already in custody. A hearing on what went wrong during the construction of the eastern span of the bay bridge. Following the first hearing last week where a whistleblower sayscal transactually tried to cals trans actually tried to quiet safety concerns during the construction. He says supervisors covered up structural problems. A report commissioned by the state senate says a project official told an engineer not to document concerns but voice them instead. However,cal transsays this all adds up to a difference of opinion, not a coverup. After problems were discovered it became apparent to me that the problem was being kept secret and covered up. I have no evidence or no reason to believe there was any coercion or anything like that and bullying to make determinations. Caltrans is sticking to the clam that quality was never compromised. Are heads going to roll . Are we going to change policies . Its going fob interested. Well have the state senator out here in a little bit. The next project is high speed rail. Hes concerned about if the bridge had so many problems how is it going to do with other projects . A lot of weld concerns came from the fact that the bridge, much of the it was fabricated in china. There was a back and forth between the fabricator in china and officials about what constituted a proper weld. Thats what the debate was. It also drove up the cost. Well speak with the senator live in studio in a few minutes. Smith wesson versus california. The major gun manufacturer is refusing to sell some pistols in the state. Cbs reporter nick james with more. Reporter if you ask josh deetser, californias already too tough on guns. Smith wesson here. Reporter the sacramento gun shop owner says the states newest regulation is more of the same. It creates problems for me, for the manufacturer. Reporter smith wesson announced it will stop selling new handgun models in california, rather than comply with the controversial law. It requires new or redesigned semiautomatic pivotopsols to have a feature called microstamping. When a gun is fired it stamps a unique code on every bullet. In a news release smith wesson says a number of studies indicated that microstamping is unreliable, serves no safety purpose, cost prohibitive and most importantly, doesnt aid in helping to solve crimes. The owners are not the problem. They are constantly picked on because they just dont like guns in california. Reporter on the other side of this always contentious debate the law centered to prevent law center to prevent gun violence claims smith wesson statement represents the same hysterical reaction from the gun lobby when a new safety is implemented. Its not a surprise that they are trying to stop the implementation of the law. They have done the same thing in the past. Nick james, kpix 5. Several groups filed a lawsuit against the state over that microstamping law. Safety advocates say the law will make the state safer. It was hotly debated in sacrament. Coming up recent arson fires lead to a new push to protect bay area communities and starts with neighbors letting police go where they could not before. Excitement building for tonights grammy show live in l. A. What to expect coming up. ,,,,,,,, baltimore. About an hour ago Police Identified the gn in a deadly mall shooting as cus ag developing news in suburban baltimore. About an hour ago Police Identified the gunman in a deadly mall shooting as 19yearold Darian Marcus aguilar. Shots rang out on the upper level of the mall. Officers arrived within two minutes of a 911 call and found three people dead including aguilar. Police say he shot a 25yearold man and 21yearold woman at a skateboard shop, then killed himself. It was a really loud like boom, boom then another boom, boom i didnt want to get hurt. I didnt want to get shot so i ran. People ran out of the building while others hid in inventory rooms or barricaded themselves behind locked doors. Police are backing away from an earlier report that aguilar had explosives but do say he had a lot of ammunition. San jose Police Credit home Surveillance Video for the capture of convicted serial arsonist who terrorized the Downtown District earlier this month. Out of that ordeal, a new proposal to allow police to tap into residents private Security Systems if the residents allow it. It could be the extra security that san joses dwindling police force needs but its already raising privacy concerns. This is all the brainchild of the councilman who joins us now. How did you get the idea for this . Tapping into commercial and private security cameras all around the city . Phil, we had a lot of residents and Business Owners who stepped forward during the time of the arson attacks to offer evidence to help the Police Identify and find the suspects. This is really an opportunity to use very Simple Technology to be able to leverage that interest of residents to step forward to help make our city safer. As it is right now police knock on doors and try to find cameras especially in businesses. Your proposal would allow homeowners and businesses, what, to sign up free in advance with the Police Department to say we have this camera here and you can take a look at it when you want to . Is that it . This is about creating a registry thatle allows the police to know where the cameras are. The police still need to ask for permission to be able to utilize the videotape or the data but the important thing is they would have the information in advance knowing, for instance, if there was a robbery down the street and the suspect ran in front of the zone they know how to get to the zone manager to get the tape. If there are six cameras, say, in the area go out there to those so you wouldnt waste time knock on doors on the street. No, the other question then becomes the cameras are getting more and more sophisticated. So is the technology around them. When the police have the ability to tap in on them at live time. Theres no suggestion we want police engaged in live surveillance. Thats not what this is about. In every insstance it requires that there would be a crime that is committed or suspected crime, the police then reach out to a Property Owner and ask for permission in every instance. Were not altering the constitutional landscape of Police Access to the kind of video. Why not . Pause, i mean, right now, for example, in San Francisco the police chief has said, entering big events, big parades or emergency situations he would love to have the ability to take an entire street and be able to watch it from one command center. Youre not interested in doing that . That would save money as well. The reality is, being able to monitor even if you believe this is something you wanted in your community, monitoring live food requires a feed requires a person as well. Were very shortstaffed in our Police Department. So dedicating police staff or even nonsworn staff to be monitoring folks is a very expensive proposition. If you believe it was something that was consistent with your civil liberties. The question of whether we can afford to watch everyone all the time and whether or not its right to watch everybody all the time. Where is your feeling on that . If you have all the cameras and were being watched anyway is it proper or improper for the police to be using them . Fundamentally we need to walk before we run. What this proposal is about is making it simpler for police to be able to get Critical Evidence to identify suspects and not to engage in live surveillance. I think that is about a battle we dont need to take on because frankly we dont have the resources to engage in it anyway. Speaking of resources, philadelphia is using this. They have 600 cameras on file. Made 200 arrests as a result of this. The public might sit there or skeptics may say ok sam, you get this, you get the registries, get everyone signed up and its a feelgood thing but if the cops are not there to respond, if you dont have enough cops anyway its like shot spotter or other hightech things we see that sound good, feel good but dont necessarily work. I can tell you were now spending a lot of officer time knocking on doors trying to find folks who might have videotape evidence when theres a homicide nearby. As a former da there were many cases i had where the file lands on my desk three or four weeks after the crime has been committed and we go back and say theres a way to find videotape. Theres a lot of time spent after the fact. We can get in front of the problem a lot of juries in Northern California say where is the video . Or you can actually get people off because youre not on the video. The csi effect on a lot of juries, they want technology. We should get up front of this. Thank you for joining us, sam liccardo. Back to you. Lets look at the weather this sunday morning. Currently its chilly in spots around the bay area. Taking a look at our current temperatures, santa rosa only 35 degrees. Partly cloudy skies. But today is not a spare the air day. If youre chilly this morning go ahead and crank up the fireplace. These are the highs for today. We could see records, places like san rafael, san jose and livermore. Bottom line, its going to be another warm day and were going to see that throughout the beginning of the next seven days. Dry and unseasonably warm temperatures through midweek and check it out, thursday, a chance of showers. Were going to keep the eye on that but it looks promising at this point. Were hoping for it.

Sam trans is beginning new service after studying commuter habits for two years. There will be a new connection to sfo among other things. Jerry browns state of the state address was clear. Were not out of the woods and were certainly not out of the drought. Touching on the states surplus he reminded lawmakers they still owe 1 billion for state worker pensions and health care. A lot of republicans and even fellow democrats, it was what the governor didnt talk about that got their attention. Two lawmakers talked about what he said was ok, its what hes not talking about, and how it works with his reelection strategy. Jerry brown has given the speech more than any other governor in california history now and a guy that knows the tricks of the trade. Give your message, fiscal responsibility and stay away from all the other things like new ideas and controversy that can muddle the message. Carla, kevin stole the show. Just imagine seven years ago facebook didnt even exist. Twitter seven years ago was a sound. The cloud was in the sky. 4g was a parking space linked in a prison. Apps were things you filled out to get into college and skype for most of us was a typo. I agree with you. Literally. He was as glamorous as he could possibly be. He was as witty, as clever and was as relevant for the membership on the floor as jerry was professorial distance. Back to the the governor on his speech, it was interesting and lawmakers noted what he didnt talk about. We didnt hear a lot about the high speed rail or great water push south. Its a campaign ruleout. He was basically saying experience matters, continuity matters, fiscal responsibilities matters and lets not talk about that other stuff that can get in the way of my reelection. Was it a Kickoff Campaign speech . Of course it was. And by the way, it is courts already nailed him on high speed rail and the lord has taken water away from him so hes in trouble. I dont blame him. I would have acted as if subject matters are not if youre looking towards going toward a fourth term. I think brown wants that to be secure. And he says why bring up high speed rail when it looks like its going to cause 10 times more than voters thought. Jerry brown is still seriously thinking about the presidency. He said it was not in the cards. You dont believe him, to you . Are you kidding me . He would run tomorrow if the opportunity presented himself. Hes going to position himself so if the opportunity does present himself he can do it. The speech was so short. At the end i was like, is that it . Is there a reason . 17 minutes. Jerry brown has always been short on his speeches. But as they pointed out after a sort of rolling out where we are and steady as it goes he didnt have a lot new to offer. So he kind of just let it go there. I would say not a lot of details in this speech. Not a lot of details. President brown . Listen, let me tell you something, its willie brown. I will tell you, in every politician mind, they all think they can be president. That never goes away. Stranger things have happened. I never thought Arnold Schwarzenegger would be governor. There you go. Still ahead up and coming republicans in the ring as the candidate for california governor. What is different about him . ,, that its given me time toabout reflect on some of lifeseen biggest questions. Like, if you could save hundreds on Car Insurance by making one simple call, why wouldnt you make that call . See, the only thing i can think of is that you cant get any. Bars. Ah, thats better. Its a beautiful view. I wonder if i can see mt. Rushmore from here. Geico. Fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more on Car Insurance. Im an welcome back to kpix 5 this morning. The time is 7 59. Good morning, im phil matier. Im ann mackovic. We are talking about neal Neel Kashkari, a more liberal view than other republicans. The question is whether republicans are ready for that kind of change. Were also going to be sitting down with state senator mark disonia who held a hearing this week on the bay bridge. Was there a coverup and what does this mean for future projects on the drawing board . How well can we handle them . You may have noticed thongs of Chinese Tourists heading to california. Its a very hot market right now. Well take a closer look at that coming up in a few minutes. We start with the top stories. Oakland police are intensifying their search for a teen considered armed and dangerous. The reward for the capture of 14yearold Mario Tolliver jr. Is now 10,000. The boy is accused of fatally shooting his 17yearold sister in this oakland apartment. Surveillance video shows the boy running out of the apartment with a gun in his hand on thursday. The boy is described as armed and dangerous because police have not found that weapon. Fearing for his life a San FranciscoPolice Officer shot and killed a dog on the loose at a housing complex on patrero hill. Police say the officer was checking vacant units for squatters yesterday. The officer says the large dog ran after him in attack mode. Police are trying to determine if the dogs owner commanded it to attack the officer. New this morning bits and pieces of information continue to surface about how a bart Police Officer fatally shot a colleague last week. But a spokesperson for the agency leading the Investigation Called recent reports inaccurate. I spoke with Alameda County sheriffs spokesperson jd nelson this morning my phone and he told me several News Agencies have been releasing misinformation but refused to release any more details. In todays edition of the San Francisco chronicle it says the bart Police Officer mistakenly thought the supervisor was an armed suspect before opening fire. Again spokesperson leading the investigation just reputed the reports that it was accidental. The officers were in plainclothes and searching the apartment of a robbery suspect already in custody. Lets look at the sunday morning forecast. Heres a live pictures of ocean beach now. Partly cloudy, we have high clouds and a little hazy but heres what we can expect in all different parts of the bay area. Oakland 49. San francisco 52. Santa rosa 36. Later on today heres your headlines, your main points, staying dry for now, changes later next week. The 2014 race for the governorship of california is already underway as we said. Jerry brown has not officially announced his Reelection Campaign just yet. Were pretty sure hes going to throw his hat in the ring. On the republican side, the competition is ramping up. Laguna beach millionaire Neel KashkariJust Announced hes running. Reporter meet the man who would like to be your next governor. Republican newcomer kashkari is a former Goldman Sachs investment banker who later served as assistant secretary of the treasury for the bush and Obama Administrations. His bid for governor is his first run for elected office. Im running on two issues. To create good jobs for california families. And to get every california kid to get a good education. Reporter hes considered a moderate republican. To support a womans right to choose and samesex marriage. And keep the government out of our homes and hospitals, and bed roorms. Reporter and also running, San Bernardino state assemblyman tim donnelly, a conservative supported by tea party republicans. College professor of politics jack pitney says Republican Voters will have a clear choice to make in june. A straight down the line conservative and moderate who probably has a better chance of being competitive in the general election. Reporter the odds are favorite to win in november, governor jerry brown, hasnt said whether or not yet he intends to run for a second term. Is there any question that brown will choose to run . It would be a huge shock if jerry brown decides not to run. His state of the state message sounded like somebody running for reelection. It sounded like someone looking to the future, and if theres one consistenty in his career its the capacity to surprise. Reporter it would be a pleasant surprise for kashkari should brown choose to sit this out. In the meantime he has a primary to think about. That is now just five months away. In downey, randy page, kpix 5. He almost seems more like a libertarian than moderate republican. I think thats what has been sinking the Republican Party around here. In california you cant be so conservative about these social issues. No, we saw that with Arnold Schwarzenegger. He too was moderate on the social front and at least tried it initially. He was billing himself as a fiscal conservative. California doesnt necessarily like fiscal conservatives either. If you look at the history of our spending patterns. But, in order to win this he also has to get through that republican primary and the true believers in the gop are on the social issues. There may be even some of them on the ballot again. And its going to be tough road for him. What is it going to take for someone to have a shot against jerry brown . Its very difficult because geared to a lot of democrats brown appears to be a moderate republican. To moderate republicans he seems to be a moderate democrat. So they say if you have that already down the middle why should you replace it . The question is, is experience good or bad . Do you need a fresh look or need to know how the system works . Maybe thats what it will boil down to. Meanwhile, this week action and optimism. Buzzwords the white house says will sum up president obamas state of the union speech tuesday. You can watch it at 6 00 on kpix 5, and then coming up later today, this morning on face the nation Bob Schieffer is going to sit down with senator ted cruz, not a big fan of the Obama Administration and they are going to look ahead at tuesdays speech and what he thinks congress can do in 2014. A number of Chinese Tourists in the u. S. Is expected to explode by 2020. Thats right. According to a brands new study california is the top pick of states to visit in the united states. Its translating into a big business for the bay area. Boasting the largest chinatown outside asia and just blocks away luxury shopping shopping at union square the city by the bay is fast becoming a mecca for Chinese Tourists. Weve seen our numbers in San Francisco from china go up double digits the last couple of years. Reporter tom kili with with the San Francisco travel association predicts more and more chinesetureists in the tourists in the next decade. Shopping the one big draw. They love shopping. Reporter in the threeyear time period a growing chinese middle class means demands for luxury goods jumped 135 . Why the increase . A new report published by clsa, an independent agent broke ran firm points chinese are getting more paid leave time from work. The study also sites relaxed visa rules and worsening pollution in china. Airline options are expanding too. Take united at sfo which is ramping up its flights to and from china. That helps us a lot. Were also getting other International Airlines starting service from the region and all those factors add up to getting more passengers from china. Reporter the reports estimates 200 million chinese will travel outside their homeland in 2020. So put that in perspective only half that number traveled in 2013. Just a hop, skip and jump from San Franciscos chinatown, this brand new cafe on bush street hopes to draw Chinese Tourists with cash in their pockets. Colin lee and his wife opened this two months ago and already get a healthy dose of Chinese Tourists. Out of all the tourists, customers, like 30 should be chinese. Chinas market is turning into a consumptions economy. So we base it on that. Weve been expecting tosty more Chinese Tourists come in. Reporter lee is not complaining about more business. If anything this cafe plans to welcome the Chinese Tourists with open arms. Making them feel at home in San Francisco. It does boom and becomes even more part of your business. Learn chinese. You may also want to learn korean too. They are a big group. They come here and drop a lot of money. What are we, the Shopping Mall of the world . It seems like it. According to this study 4400 a visit and that is excluding airfare. So its one of the biggest tourists for our economy. The only thing that compares to it is indian tourists, a little more as far as spending but still really both of them are topping everyone else. Ever been around the vuiton counter at macys .

And caltrans an engineering geologist for the company says his state supervisors engaged in a coverup of structural problems. They allegedly didnt want his concerns documented. Thats right. How credible are the latest allegations . And what do they present . As far as questions about new projects down the line . Like high speed rail in joining us is the chairman of the Transportation Committee senator mark de sone of concord. Ok, lets get to it. Caltrans says there was no cover up. Your read . I think they are lying. As simple as that . Well, were halfway through the investigation, were going to pursue it but if you listen to the testimony the testimony of the four people who came forward, three caltrans employees and one very well respected expert from a contractor in charge of Quality Assurance. If you listen to the response from caltrans pretty clear to me they were lying. It was about weld on the bridge. It was fabricated in china. Going in, it seemed from the onset, there were debates about how good the work was that was being done. Wouldnt you have had the specs written out in advance and said this is what we want and no questions asked instead of debating on what is a good weld or not a good weld on something this big . Yes. The head of Quality Assurance is one of the most respected has one of the most respected contractors and said dont do this. They did it anyways. And he was told not to put anything in writing. He said i wasnt trying to cover it up, i wanted it to be accurate. You have a person who is a lawyer telling an expert in the field what is accurate and what is not you tell me if that sounds fishy. Up there, every other word was its ok, the bridge is safe. The bridge is safe. Its not going to fall down. I didnt hear a lot about whether we got our moneys worth. Whether this is a 6 billion bridge that is going to need ongoing maintenance because of problems with its building. You hear a lot about it from me. My question has always been three questions, why was it 5 million over budget . Why did it take 10 years longer than it was supposed no and what can we get for it . We were told we would get a world class product, no one had ever seen anything like it in terms of safety. Now they are equivocating. Our experts say you have to spend money on retrofitting in five years. Dont forget there was a big issue on the bolts. They were told not to accept the bolts. They overrode that. They accepted the bolts and had them sit in water for pfeiffer years. You think it will cost even more than 6 billion . Were going to still bring down the old bridge. That is going to be over budget my belief. And then youre going to have to immediately start to retrofit this. For the average commuter, and you go across that knife times a week to come to five times a week to come to San Francisco, thats 1,500 a day. The folks act like its nothing. These folks, how involved in they in high speed rail and what does this say for that project . Its different. You have the High Speed Rail Authority but our experts at the last hearing said high speed rail around the world is amongst the projects most over budget. Now 68 billion. I would expect if high speed rail is ever built and i dont think it will be at least under the current plan it will be 350 billion. Back to the bridge, what is next . Another hearing is february 11th. Were continuing the investigation and hope more people will come forward and tell us the truth. We want you down here for another report. Thank you. Ill be happy to. Back to you. Lets look at the sunday monk forecast now. A look at some temperatures out there. Partly cloudy, high clouds and hazy but chilly in spots. 36 santa rosa. Oakland 69. Later on today definitely warming up. Santa rosa 72. Redwood city 68. Livermore 71. Mild and unseasonably warm for this time of year. Over the next seven days definitely cool drier later on in the week. By the time we get to thursday we could see a chance for showers. 2013 was a recordsetting year because we barely saw any rainfall at all. Scientists at u. S. Berkeley say california could be seeing its driest winter in 500 years. They looked at tree rings and sediment to make that prediction and said they have not seen it this bad since the 1500s. Dry weather upset the food chain in the high sierra. The bears are still awake with the warm temperatures. They are on the prowl so kpix 5s don ford is going to tell us that story. Reporter Yosemite Valley, beautiful. Warm, weird. This is an unusual year because here we are in january and we can look around and theres no snow. Reporter the weather is so nice valley bears are not hiberinating yet. Normally the ground is covered in snow making it hard for them to find food. But the warm weather created a bumper crop of acorns and bears are still up and eating. In the fall bears eat up to 20,000 calories a day, they get fat. For winter and a lot of that comes from acorns. Reporter Yosemite Valley doesnt have more bears than usual, its just that most of them are still awake. And biologists are keeping track of them with radio collars. Special homing antennas help locate them if the biologist needs to track down that special bear. Each collar has its own frequency so we can differentiate between bears. Reporter in the campgrounds the special bears get special attention from yes, special radio repeaters that automatically detects them when they show up looking for food. They eat anything they can find. Toothpaste . Sure. Reporter campbells sewn . Yes. Acorns. Yeah. Dead animals. Reporter bears are smart. This year a new food locker is being used. A new handle to keep bears out. These kids from oakland are camping and have planned if they see a bear ill probably freak out. Reporter hes in luck. Radio trackers dont show any bears in the valley at the moment. Yosemite wildlife biologists say they dont know when the bears will start to hiberinate but unless it snows soon and covers up their food that he may not they may not hiberinate at all this year. Theres a slight chance of rain coming on thursday but too little too late. Did you see the mercury news story this morning . It said theres one thing to work in a drought but if you look at the history of california going way back its not unusual to have droughts that last 10 to 20 years. We cant handle that. Were used to sevenyear droughts. They say you look back. At one time a drought lasted upwards of 200 years. Ok. Does that make us less concerned . No, that should make us a little more concerned because we have not been around here that long. To see how bad things can really get. Again, maybe its a force of nature that just happens, what Goes Around Comes Around . Thats right. Watch it. Well figure something out. We better. Well be right back. o÷ . Ke welcome back. Big leadership changes san diego on track, with the new state Senate Protem. This is the first time in california history that both leadership positions are going south. We in Northern California usually hold to one or two of them, now its moving south. We sat with former state Assembly Leader willie brown and carla maranucci from the San Francisco conchronicle. Term temperatures change the nature of who runs the legislature theoretically. You constantly have no people and invarialy going to have a relationship reflect itself in the leadership. Its true that the state Senate Protem and speaker are getting shorter because of term limits. You were on the floor the other day and it seemed like others were talking about who is going to be next irvariably. They decide in the old days you were you served until two seconds before you no longer could serve. You didnt get didnt get warning. You were there, you had the power.
