I heard from Oakland Police who said no new developments this morning. Continuing to look for two different people. Were in the 9400 block of burch. This is where it went down yesterday evening. Two people in the hospital this morning suffering from gunshot wounds. Police are calling them suspects and not victims. Heres why. Lets show you what this neighborhood looked like yesterday afternoon. Multiple people called them to tell them shots have been fired. They found a person in the street suffering from gunshot wounds. Another person had been taken to the hospital. They started talking to witnesses who told them the two people shot had been part of a group of three who were in the process of robbing people when they were shot. Still unclear if the person who fired the shoots was a witness or robbery victim. If someone was defending themselves during a crime such as a robbery, we would like to talk to them. And would like to hear their side of the story. Thats part of the investigation. They are still looking for two people. The shooter and a third suspect who fled the scene. This is still unclear if that third suspect was also injured. Reporter back out here live, again, residential neighborhood where this all happened. People say theyve seen a lot of activity but no one says they saw anything yet. Claudine wong, ktvu, channel 2 news. A landlord in oakland said he was beaten and robbed by a man pretending to be interested in his property. Steven yu says he was attacked yesterday morning on 72nd and hamilton street. The man stole his money and cell phone and ran off. He chased after the man and saw him get into a car. I followed him all the way down there and he say he has a gun. So i keep a distance. I write down his cars license number. And police used that license plate number to track down the suspect a few blocks away. They arrested him after a short chase that ended in a crash. This Morning Police in oakland are investigating the tragic death of a two year old boy. Happened late yesterday afternoon on the embarcadero right next to interstate 880. The child was run over and killed in a parking lot while his mother sold fruit at a nearby stand. Witnesses say the driver of the pickup truck was a fruit store customer who never saw the little boy. Police say the driver is cooperating with investigators. Family members identified the two year old victim as rafael priseno. Well, if its taking you longer than normal to get aacross the bay bridge, you are not alone. Drivers may be stopping to enjoy the views. Some drivers are taking pictures and video while on the road. The chp wants drivers to know it is illegal to stop on the bridge for any reason other than emergency. And drivers can be ticketed. The novelty of the new bridge coming out of the tunnel seeing the big tower and the open views now that we dont have the close the sections. Seeing the bicyclists is throwing people off too. The metropolitan Transportation Commission says 127,000 vehicles traveled westbound tuesday on the first full day the bridge was open. That compared to 124,000 a year ago. Transit officials are turning their attention to a planned billion dollar make over for the western span. That make over calls for a 5 million bike path. Official say bike lanes would be needed on both side to keep the weight balanced. Adding extra lanes could make the span too heavy. Cyclists are enjoying the bay bridge. Pedestrians want them to slow down. The speed limit is 15 miles an hour. But pedestrians we spoke with say bicyclists are going much faster. You have this straight shot.

The grant would provide the Police Department with 75,000 in funding. The money would be used to pay for overtime for party patrol or investigate adults who buy alcohol for minors. There have been 13 alcohol related incidents since students moved back into the dorms. The bill is heading to governors desk. The state Senate Approved the bill yesterday. If the governor signs the bill, means people carrying a small amount of drugs could avoid more serious charge. Prosecutors can charge people with transporting even if the drugs are only intended for personal use. 7 38. The john mure Health System is selling off business. 26 stand alone patient lab service stations are included in the deal with Laboratory Corporation of america. That will result in the loss of 540 jobs. Although lab corp says it will take on 150 of those workers. The labs based in those hospitals are not part of this deal. A San Diego Program that offers homeless a one way bus ticket out of town is causing controversy. The program helped more than 117 Homeless People get off the streets. Supporters say tickets are only given to Homeless People with Family Members who have agreed to take them in and who are not too mentally ill to travel. Critics say the program is just moving the homeless to other cities. San Francisco City attorney is taking legal action over the practice of bussing Homeless People to other cities.

Pam cook reports from our news room, it will come with a cost. Take a lot of timeout of the class work teachers have prepared. A new proposal to the state legislature would allow most students to skip this years testing in order to give schools time to prepare for new standards. California is lagging behind. 45 other states have already adopted the new learning goals called the common core. Educators say they are less focused on memorizing facts and instead designed to develop Critical Thinking and writing skills. The questions link subjects rather than test students separately on english, math and history. State superintendent is sponsoring the bill and says quote its time for a clean break that are out of date and out of sync with the work our schools are doing. The changing world also involves computers. The star tests are on the oldfashioned paper with number 2 pencil. The new testing is taking on computers. That means many schools will have to scramble to have enough computers available. More on that part of our story in our next hour on mornings on 2. See you then, thank you. No word yet on whether High School Students will appeal a decision that invalidated placement test scores. A judge ruled the College Board and Education Testing Service had a right to toss out the test of 300 students. Broke standards by allowing students to face each other when they took the exams back in may. Theres a new proposal to tackle sleepy students. The u. S. Secretary of education says students are sleep deprived. That would allow young people to get more rest and be more alert during the school day. Many students in one east bay classroom liked the idea. If you slept in an hour or started school one hour later, how many of you would perform better in classroom. As you see there, nearly everyone raised their hand. However, critics wonder if more teenagers will go to sleep later and end up with the same amount of rest. 7 47.
