Richmond Police Officer gus vegas was obvious and heartfelt as his casket passed his saluting brothers and sisters in blue. Despite his not dying in the line of duty but rather in a domestic dispute at his home the auditorium was filled as if vegas had died saving the lives of city residents. But such a danger is never expected to be lurking within the walls of your personal sanctuary. There are some things in life that are just beyond our ability to comprehend. Reporter his family says did he die in the line of duty. Dads final breath came doing exactly what he always taught us, and that was to protect our family at all costs. Take care of the pride. He felt did he fall in the line of duty, and that was the line of duty as a father and a husband, protecting his pride like a king lion. One after another most of vegas ten children and stepchildren spoke of the man who was obviously larger than life. On our way over here i was like, wow, i cant believe on a weekday they shut down one of the probably the busiest highways to honor him. And i could just see him, like, thats right. He always did some crazy things that i didnt understand when i was little, like put me on the top of a roof and tell me to jump. But i did it every time because i trusted him so much. And i knew he would catch me. Since avenue been away ive been down and lonelily one song chosen by the family was by diana ross. Thinking of you i was so honored to be protected by him. Im honored to be his daughter. I am honored for them to be my family. The love and encouragement you showed all of us kids is the same love and encouragement we will show our kids. And for that reason, will you live on, and will you forever be in our hearts. Joe vegas gave the eulogy and made a powerful statement about his fathers impact on the world. If hes taught you something, if hes trained you, if hes touched your life or somebody you know, can you just raise your hand . Im just curious. Half the huge crowd raised their hands. Afterwards, it was tame for the ride to the cemetery in of lay home. Vegas add huge contingent of Police Officers to ensure he arrived at his final resting place safely. And john is here with us now. We just that had funeral for officer scott lunger a couple of months ago. Now this funeral. You were inside watching. What was it like being there . Its really tough to be there. I never met the guy. I admit, i know a lot of richmond Police Officers. I never met him. But it was still is very easy to be overcome by the emotion buck ear hearing by so many people, Police Officers, his pastor, and certainly all of his kids. You really understand how he touched their lives and how he impacted them as a Police Officer, as a father, as a friend in both richmond and in vallejo where he lived. Its just very powerful. Youve been to so many of these types of services for Police Officers, for firefighters, for chp officers. How did this one differ . I know he had a huge family. Ten children. A lot of those kids spoke. Most of his kids spoke. Thats one of the things thats maybe a little unusual. You do hear from kids, from loved ones, but not in such a highly concentrated way. I actually afterwards talked to his wife sandra, and she said that she thought about getting up there and helping out, but then she realized they were going to do it on their own, and she was very happy with the way they did it. To get such a highly concentrated sense of him from all these kids, it makes you wonder, im going to have a funeral some day, and nobody is going to say anything, and it would be just such an honor. It just makes you feel humble because you realize that the impact that he had on those kids, they talked about they want to be the kind of parent that he was to then. They want to be the kind of person that he was in their community and in the city of richmond. Sought really shows you whats important in life. Also, when asked that question about raise your hand if youve been touched by officer vegas, as you said half the people inside raised their happened. Very clear that there were so many people. Lots of people there who never met him. But it was even still, just knowing him posthumously, very touching. Very touching to see so many people turn out. It was open to the public. So many people to speak to show their love, how much theyre going to miss him. John, thank you. In other news now a tourist attacked in San Francisco.

It appears to be the 500 block of porter in vallejo. On the left side you can see where neighbors are standing outside of their porch. They described hearing loud gunshots an hour ago when this shooting took place. All we pretty much know now is that the shooters are still on the run and theres an active search for those men. Were not sure if its one shooter or multiple shooters but we do know that four people were shot. Were told one of those injured was a nineyearold boy. Were not sure who else was shot, if it were women or men, but we do know one person is dead out of that group of four so a lot of unanswered questions. Taking another live look out here its very chaotic for neighbors trying to figure out what happened. Theres a woman running up the sidewalk trying to get more information.

He played 1 years including nine with the as. He was a member of oaklands 1989 World Championship team. He was oaklands utility man. He died wednesday in arizona. He was 56 years old. The as arent the only ones mourn ago former player today. The giants also learned today that a wellknown former third baseman for the team has passed away. Ktvus joe fonzi is in scottsdale, arizona. Joe, you spoke to several people about Jim Davenports death. Reporter yes, i did, frank. I guess its one of those days for reflection all the way around. It was a day in which the giants took the field for day two of pitchers and catchers with a heavy heart after they had learned that Jim Davenport, when we all came to the ballpark today, we learned that Jim Davenport had died last night. Davenport at the age of 82 was a long time giant associated with the giants throughout his entire professional career. He was there from day one when the giants and dodgers played the very First Major League game on the west coast against each or in 1958 at seal stadium. He was the starting third baseman during his career in which he played only for the giants until 1970. He was an allstar, gold glove winner, then he went on to be part of the organization during his professional life as a scout, other things within the organization, a coach and manager, but it was one of his teammates, felipe alou who remembered him for something even more significant. He was the best friend that the latinos and blacks had on the team. It was a tremendous group, but he was always worried about how we were doing. He was a guy from the south where the south was still segregated. I could not believe, from alabama. But he was like one of us. And i repeat, you know, there was not a trace of racism. Reporter and its been said that baseball is a generational sport. It was interesting to listen to not just felipe alou but willie mays reflecting. Its also a sport where the baton gets passed. Jim davenport was a fixture. We also got a chance to talk with another guy on the flynners and the giants. We also got a chance to talk to another guy who the giants hope will be a fixture fore a long time at third base during his era. Its a signature moment in what could very well be a career full of them. On the giants playoff roster in 2014, matt duffy came all the way around to score from second on a wild pitch walk to joe panik. That tied a game the giants would go on to lose but it established an early impression of duffys style of play. I saw the catcher look the wrong way that the ball went. Thats when i started clicking in my mind. I was thinking, i better be safe because theres two outside. If i end the game on this im never going to see the field again with buster posey up next. Reporter duffy has a way of making an impact when hes on the field. He was set to be a utility player but Casey Mcgehee struggled, and the think thing did you ever fee knew, he had earned a regular spot. For me at the end of spring it was being the best i could at third base trying to provide depth along with the rest of tin feed, too, but especially once casey started to struggle and we designated him, that was my way of helping the team be better, provide depth and stability at third base. Reporter did you have fees season not only made giant fans forget about mcgee, he made them forget about pablo sandoval. Duffy hit. 295 with 12 home runs and 77 rbis, finishing second in the voting for National League rookie of the year. He heads into this season as the giants starter at third base. Ive never been one to be complacent so im always going to have that kind of, what can i do to get better mentality. At the same time, im not going to put too much pressure on myself to kind of i guess, live up to what i did last year. I think about how i did what i did last year, and it was i focus on everything that i can control personally. Reporter so, guys, kind of a day of reflection in Major League Baseball as well. An example of how its a generational sport. You had a longtime third baseman passing today, then the current third baseman in the giants thoughts and plans for the future. I think thats baseball, as weve seed, sport that is passed down from generation to general ray, and maybe today no better example. Joe fonzi, live from scottsdale. I remember seeing Jimmy Davenport play when i was a kid. I just loved matt duffys story. Its neat to see him come into his own. Joe fonzi in arizona, thank you. Time for another check of the weather. Gray and rainy outside this afternoon. Back to bill for the latest on how long this rain is going to last. Well, most of the showers are kind of moving through the area. Theyre now just sort of moving into the san jose area so i avenue got the live camera behind me. You are looking in san jose towards the northwest. And you can see the breaks up here but you also see the clouds, the low clouds and that weak system kind of pushing south towards san jose it is a pushes south and out of the area. Basically gone. It was a non event as we suspected, which is a shame because we could have used more rain, except we did see up to a half inch of rain in the coastal hills from bo day ga bay south towards marin county. Thats a significant amount of rain for a very weak system so thats good. But for most of us were talking about trace amounts of rain at best. Some areas, i think i saw a couple of, pardon me, a couple of. 06s and. 07s, but thats it. So theres the showers sliding through. At the tail vend that system it starts to pull apart. As it gets further south, its really fractured. Clayton, a little shower activity. Alamo, concord, lafayette. So the afternoon commute, im finding on friday, sal will verify this, but on friday people bail early. Some people leave at noon or what have you. So perhaps the commute isnt that bad and hasnt been that bad because i think people leave between 1 00 and 5 00 on fridays. So with the wet roads it may not be as bad. It doesnt lack as bad it is a could be if the were a tuesday night. The rain has helped. Yesterdays event, or the other day we got a nice amount of rain. This is not hurting but its not helping as much as we need. February really, i talked about this last night, february for basically the month of february has or, pardon me, the el nino for the month of february has been a bust quite frankly. 30 of rain at best in many places, where as normally we would expect on a big el nino year to be Something Like 200 or 350 of rainfall average. Forecast highs tomorrow, partly cloudy, partly sunny. Highs will be in the low 60s. The fiveday forecast, there it is. Look at this sunday. Its real nice. Heres the other thing, the reason i call it a bust, too. Out past wednesday, theres something out there, but this should be filled up. Were working on three weeks now, or two and a half weeks without real rain. So, yeah, its still an el nino, its just not act like the previous two months. It started out so promising, then it stopped. October, november, december all well above average. January was powerful. And february, the month that we should have we were actually concerned about february because thats when we were worried about big flooding events, and boy thats not the case. But you say we still could see some in march and april. March can be very productive as well. But like you know, julie, every month we need to be like. That this five day is not what we need. We need rain, real rain. Bill, thanks. The Justice Department is take action against apple involving the case of a terrorists iphone. Up next, we speak with a legal analyst about what the latest motion means as politicians begin to speak out about the issue. Later, new at 6 00, trading marijuana for signatures. The unique and controversial push in the south bay to legalize marijuana. I think its just terrible that its like letting kids know that its okay, and i think its really wrong. The battle between apple and the fbi is heating up. The Justice Department filed a new motion accusing apple of repudiating rather than following an order from a judge to create a back door so the fbi can hack in to syed farooks iphone. Theres been strong reaction from both sides including senator Diane Einstein who said apple is not above the laws of the United States. Donald trump called for a boycott of apple until they comply with the order. Joining us is legal analyst michael cardoza. What does this mean for apple. Apple is going to be able to, for the first time, air in front of the judge what they think about her particular order. So people understand this, what the court is ordered is that apple go into that particular phone. But in order to do that they have to create a back door. Thats tantamount to asking them to create a master key for one hotel room. But, in fact, that master key is going to open every room in that hotel and every room in that hotels klain. And thats what apple is worried about. Theyre saying, if we do that then the federal government can go into other phones. And thats a surveillance issue. We learned about surveillance when snowden released that information of how the federal government was surveilling certain people. Michael, its interesting you brought that up because this weeks apples ceo tim cook sent out a letter to customers and said among other things, the fbi wants us to make a new version of the iphone operating system which would crier come vent several circumvent several important security features to unlock any iphone. This is such an interesting case because on one hand it pits the right to brave see. On the other Hand National security. No question about it. What strikes me and what might be a good solution, you tell apple to open this particular phone, dont give that master key to the federal government. You come in, you take that phone, you open it. The government then comes in and they can extract the information from that particular phone, but you dont give them that master key. Here is your information. Go about your business. Now, federal government, and remember what apple did early on in this, they allowed the federal government to get the information from what was in the i cloud. I dont think there was much there. But at least apple cooperated that way. So i dont know who should win or lose this battle, because all the facts havent been vetted yet. And i think theyre going to have to bring a lot of experts into that judge magistrates courtroom to vet the situation, find out exactly what apple can and cant do to keep that master key out of the federal governments hands, because i dont think many of us want that. Once they have that master key, they can do what they want with it. But michael, tim cook said opposing this order is something theyre not taking lightly but he said we feel we must speak up in what they feel san everyreach by the u. S. Government. Does apple have the legal right to say no, to refuse . Do they have the legal right to say no . It depends on what the order said. It depends on what that federal magistrate or later a federal judge might say about that. They could sanction them. They could even put the president cook in jail if they see fit to do that. So theres all sorts of things at risk. But ace say there are a lot of fact that have yet to be vetted to see the pros and cons of this. Its going to be a balancing of surveillance against our privacy, and our security. So how do you make that balance . Thats up to the federal court to do that. And for apple to argue their side in the federal government to argue their side. I know a lot of people just viscerally say, just give it to them. Cook has answered that question. Some say hes doing it that way as a business decision because a lot of people out there say, in what, good for you, because i dont want them opening my phone up and seeing my texts, my emails, the things i use my phone for. So there are a lot of theres a lot of balancing that has to be done in this particular case, and its not done at this time. Theres obviously a lot at stake, and its going to be fascinating to watch all of this unfold. Michael car to zach, we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us. Not a problem. Thank you, michael. Remembering justice an to nine scalia antonin scalia. Thousands paid their respects. Ferret lovers calling for ferret rights. What theyre asking from lawmakers j.

Ktvu Crime Reporter henry lee attended the hearing and joins us with what he learned. Reporter julie, brian jones is accused of visiting a livermore Wine Festival before he got into his corvette, allegedly drunk, causing a crash that killed a mother and her young daughter. We heard from witnesses what say they saw the same corvette being driven recklessly before the crash. Brian jones was in a pleasanton courtroom as a judge began hearing evidence as to whether he will stand trial for murder. He was subdued and appeared much skinnier than he was at the time of the crash. Police say jones add blood alcohol level of. 14 , more than the legal limb whit he lost control of his corvettes at speeds up of to 99 Miles Per Hour and smashed into a livermore apartment building, killing Esperanza Morales and her 14monthold daughter. Two other kids were hurt in the crash in may of last year. Cameras werent allowed in court as two men testified that they saw swain corvette driving recklessly minute before the crash. One man told the court he thought the driver was going to end up killing himself or others. A relative of the victim said he was disturbed by what he heard. The guy was driving so fast, you know, he could have killed himself or somebody else. I cant imagine, you know. Reporter the testimony also brought back sad memories for carol from mothers against drunk drivers. She lost her son to a drunk driver. If only someone could have stopped him. If only he had made a different choice. If only he had made two different choices, not to drink or not to drive, then these lives could have been saved. Its so preventible, and thats what is so heartbreaking. Reporter prosecutors say jones who has a previous conviction for reckless driving with cholt, had visited the livermore wine country festival before he got into his corvette. Days after the crash, relatives of the victims angrilily confronted jones at his First Court Appearance when he was free on bail. Now because of the murder charges, no bail is allowed. Now, this hearing continues in april after which a judge will determine whether jones will stand trial. Henry lee, ktvu fox 2 news. Thank you henry.

Im quite confident that lay students will be reading Justice Scalia opinions a century from now. Reporter scalias own soon, catholic priest, said a brief prayer as the eight justices looked on. Its unclear how long the court will continue with an even number of members, but its possible that some future decisions could include opinions voted on or written by Justice Scalia.
