two people were critically injured in the overnight gunfire. ktvu's tara moriarty joining us live this morning with details on what led up to that shooting. tara. >> reporter: well, we do want to mention just two minutes ago the alameda county coroner's van pulled up. so it should be circling around the block here and pulling up next to that suv that you see at the very end of this street where the shooting actually went down as we understand. we're in a neighborhood just south of 580 near school street. officers have not been able to tell us why they were led here in the first place. here's a look at some video that our crews shot last night. ktvu was the first to arrive on scene. and we were the only ones to get a look at the scene just minutes after the shooting happened. now at 9:00 officers had received some inside information violence was about to erupt here. they got a tip on a target vehicle. a light blue van tailed by what they say was the victim's car a red lexus. within an hour and a half they spotted those cars and moved in. gunfire started. two suspects were wounded. and a third took off. officers and federal investigators swarmed the area. >> in situations like this it requires a lot of resources. and we try to get as many officers as we have on duty here to establish command and control of the situation. >> reporter: now police were able to find that third suspect in a nearby yard two hours later using an infrared device on their helicopter. he was not hurt. we do not know what instigated the entire shooting. we know officers recovered several weapons. two found on a nearby rooftop wrapped in a towel or some sort of clothing. there was also another shooting three blocks from here on tuesday night. officers aren't sure if those two incidents are related. again, we just saw the alameda county coroner pull up here. we will try to get more information and let you know exactly what police are saying at this moment. but as of now they are remaining tight lipped and they will not say if the shooting was gang-related. live in oakland, tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. today the public gets to voice its opinion on a proposed speed limit for bicyclists on the golden gate bridge. ktvu's jade hernandez joins us now to talk about why some people feel this is so important. jade. >> reporter: well, we've learned that there were 165 accidents on golden gate bridge within the last decade. it may not seem like a lot of accidents, but the golden gate bridge district says most of those accidents have occurred on the west sidewalk of the bridge. that's key. the west side of the bridge is open only to solo cyclists on the weekends and they share during the week. the district is proposing lowering the speed limit to 10 miles per hour. and 5 miles per hour around construction areas. some cyclists are opposed to changes because violators would be fined $100. in order to gauge reaction the district is holding two bike safety meetings and open houses today. one began just moments ago. for the district the aim to reduce speed is to cut down on the number of accidents on the golden gate bridge. >> bicyclist are on their own on the west sidewalk on the weekends. and it's interesting that in looking at the data of 165 accidents in the last ten years that the majority of those are solo cyclists where speed is involved and they're on the west sidewalk. >> reporter: the first meeting is more impromptu this morning. it began a few minutes ago right here at vista point on the marin side of the bridge. it lasts until 8:00 this morning. the second meeting will be held this afternoon at 3:00 to 5:00 at the district's administrative offices. it's on the other side of the bridge. now proposal provisions are expected to be brought back to the board in june. so a decision on lowering the speed limit on the golden gate bridge is not expected until after that. reporting live, jade hernandez, ktvu channel 2 news. well, this

there. los angeles police will be out in force again tonight outside dodgers stadium. they're looking for new leads in the savage beating of giants fan bryan stow in the stadium parking lot. this is

that officer is expected to enter a plea. kraig. >> reporter: good morning, pam. i've just been on the internet doing a lot of research on this case. it is very complicated. 38-year-old louis lombardi's charges stem from an ongoing investigation to a state run law enforcement agency. the arraignment hearing is supposed to take place right here at superior court in walnut creek. he postponed the arraignment he had for last week so he could have time to hire a lawyer. a fellow officer was arrested earlier this month. he's facing five felonies. stealing guns, stealing drus, imbusiness limit. he's now free on $500,000 bond and on add morive leave from his job. he stole money from three seizures and also said back in 2007 san ramon cops listed to steal money from a building where lombardi had conducted a legal search. back then he was working with the central contra costa county narcotics enforcement team. the leader of that team norman welsh. he, welsh and a third man, butler devised the plan in a meeting to make money from selling drugs and guns. he stole drugs from evidence lockers and passed them onto his close friend butler. a concord private investigator. butler is also accused of stealing and selling drugs on separate charges that he bribed a danville police officer. coming up we're going to get into why the arrest of lombardi caused a federal judge to reverse her decision on a civil lawsuit. live from walnut creek, kraig debro, ktvu channel 2 news. we're now learning what may have led arnold schwarzenegger to finally disclose that he had fathered a child with his housekeeper. the media is swarming around the bakersfield home of 50-year- old patty baena. one outlet reports that baena recently threatened to go public with the affair. a few weeks later schwarzenegger fired her and told his wife maria shriver. baena's neighbors have nothing but praise for the 14-year-old boy. >> young man at the top of being polite and being very cordial and just somebody you want to be around. >> according to the new york times, schwarzenegger paid for baena's $250,000 bakersfield home. well, today the prosecution in the chauncey bailey murder trial -- >> that's right, pam. i'll take it. is expected to wrap up its closing arguments. yusef bey iv and mackey accused of killing bailey, oakland journalist and two other men in 2007. bey was the former leader of your black muslim bakery. prosecutors say he ordered bailey's killing to present bailey from writing a story about the bakery's financial problems. as the bailey case heads to the jury, ktvu news has obtained 1,000 pages of legal documents never seen publicly. documents paint a troubling picture of top commanders at opd misleading the public about key aspects of the bailey case. on december 15, 2008, then oakland police chief wayne tucker called a highly unusual press conference to respond to a story revealing what may have been the single biggest turn in the assassination of bay area journalist chauncey bailey. but the discovery was tucker delayed for two days a massive police raid scheduled for august 1, 2007, on the violent your black muslim bakery so that a member of the chief's command staff could extend a camping trip. the next day, august 2nd, a self-described soldier from the bakery gunned down bailey. the delayed raid then took place on august 3rd, the day after the murder. the documents ktvu obtained contain charges that tucker and his command staff held a private meeting just before that press conference where they agreed to cover up the decision when they met the news media. >> the department i believe had its own i guess sense of guilt or responsibility for the murder because the department was supposed to execute a warrant on the black muslim bakery august 1st, the day before the murder. now no one is suggesting or implying that the department intended to kill chauncey bailey. >> san francisco attorney john scott is bringing a lawsuit against the city on behalf of the city of oakland on behalf of sergeant long mire, the lead investigator of the bailey murder. ktvu obtained sworn statements by long mire and other police officials. some testifying that long mire has been unjustly painted as the scapegoat for the bailey homicide investigation. long mire's lawsuit is scheduled to go to trial next february. as for the bey case our channel 2 website ktvu.com has an extensive section on that trial. just look for the tab on the home page. >> good to check that out. complicated story. well, right now 6:39 is the time. and i understand we are going to go to sal now. six, five, five, six. >> i hear you have a beautiful picture of the golden gate bridge. >> pam and mike, you are just about to be treated to a nice looking shot of the golden gate bridge and the traffic looks good too as we push in the from the vista point area you can see traffic is moving along very nicely. of course ktvu is there because today people get to weigh in about the proposed bike speed limit. want to make it 10 miles an hour for bikes. ktvu's jade hernandez has more details. she's been on this story. meanwhile we get to share jade's pictures there. looks good. northbound 101 approaching the 80 split traffic also looks nice. event-free i should say coming into san francisco. also this morning we're looking at the bay bridge toll plaza. there's a small back up. the metering lights are on. once you get on to the bridge itself it does move well into san francisco. 6:39. let's go to steve. sal, thank you. a coastal fog and a lot of it has come roaring back even though we haven't had any heat in the valley usually need a bit of heat to get going but west wind has kicked in trying to gobble up the moon there. coastal fog warmer inland but not a lot. temperatures just because we'll lose the cloud cover high and mid-level clouds temperatures coming up still below average though. looks like more weekend fog coming in a cooler pattern. and then okay monday and tuesday. there are sign, hints, strong hints, maybe more rain coming in middle and end of next week. pattern's there. tough to budge it. today the rain has moved out. clouds have disappeared unless it's coastal fog and now moving up the marin coast. i mean it's not just san mateo or santa cruz, it's starting to fill in over the bay as well. and coastal fog, westerly breeze. but it will be warmer inland. see some more low to mid-70s instead of just the upper 60ed. high pressure is building in but weak as it may be it's not doing much. but it

is going to get bumped out of here by that system to the left of your screen. won't give us any rain but it will continue to ramp up that fog and give us another cool down. so we get a brief warm up today and tomorrow unless you're by the coast. you're saying won't warm up 50s and 60s. upper 70s maybe for those well, well inland. still some 50s on the coast or low 6 0z. just too much in the way
