They are going to stay here until investigators aright. Youre looking at the back of one of the buildings. As you can see, the roof is damaged. Firefighters were up there.

Firefighters arrived and again saw those flames and the heavy smoke. And so a second alarm was called. Firefighters discovered the fire in the attic. They attacked it, knocked it down in about 25 minutes. They believe nobody was on School Property at the time. At this point firefighters are waiting for investigators to come here to determine a cause. They dont think its suspicious. Our preliminary investigation shows that nothing seems suspicious. Nothing seems we didnt see any tagging on the walls or any vandalism. Still an educational facility requires extensive investigation. So we will be investigating the cause of this fire. Reporter i was told by Maintenance Person who works at the school and happened to see the fire video on the news that this classroom here was used by seventh and eighth graders.

But with School Starting most likely in the month next month or so this is definitely going to be an issue and were going to see how much its going to impact the school. Reporting live from san jose, janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2 news. 7 05. A man shot and killed by Sunnyvale Police may be linked to the deaths of four women. Officers killed 53yearold handy mangling Congress Last month when he confronted them. Investigators were trying to question him about a girlfriend who had been missing for a year. The mercury news reports that a Police Affidavit connects griggs to three other women who all died while they were in a relationship with griggs. Griggs uncle says his nephew had a habit of taking in women with alcohol problems but insists griggs did not kill them. 7 05. Oakland Police Searching for a person who shot and killed a man in broad daylight. It happened just after 3 00 yesterday afternoon on east 17th street and seminary avenue. That still unidentified man was pronounced dead there at the scene. The Investigation Continues. Police are investigating the elect cougs at a warehouse in west oakland last night. It happened 8 30 on mandela parkway near west grand avenue. Witnesses say the man may have been stealing copper wiring when he was electrocuted. But police have not released any information about the circumstances of the electrocougs. A man is accused of holding his family hostage at gun point. A terrified 12yearold girl first alerted them to the incident. They say the girl called 911. She said her father had a gun and was refuse to go let her and six other refusing to let her and six other family members leave the house. The family escaped the home and got into a car.

Using the amber alert system to help track down hitandrun drivers. This is live along interstate 80. A neat idea, katie . Reporter people we are talking to seemed to think so. Think about how many eyes are on the interstate. There are hundreds of thousands of people who drive california highways and the yellow alert will work like an amber alert utilizing the existing billboard. It could help chp find people suspected of hitandruns. Here is a picture of what the yellow alert sign would look like following a serious injury or fatal hitandrun collision. Chp would put out information with a vehicles make and model and license plate number. An assemblyman out of burbank is pushing the bill following a hitandrun collision where a cyclist was trapped under a van and dragged is 600 feet to a driveway onramp. Drivers we have talked to are behind the idea of a yellow alert. I think its a very good idea, yeah, because other people can see on the road and you can pull off to the side of the road, use your cellphone and call 911 if you see it or spot it. Reporter backers of the bill say the yellow alerts would be sent out only if there is specific vehicle information. The amber alert system started in 1996 following the abduction of a girl from texas. So far this year the chp has called for 10 amber alerts. Last year it was used a dozen times. The yellow alert bill has until the end of august to pass committee. So at this point its unclear how often it would be used. But there are other alerts utilized through the system. The whether or not alert for Law Enforcement, if a Law Enforcement is injured. There is also a silver alert for elderly. And of course the amber alert for missing children, which as we know has proven quite effective. So this yellow alert could be just another tool for chp. Live near berkeley.

This is video showing the smoke billowing out from the middle school on edenview, which is off of monterey highway. It started at 5 30 this morning and were told that it was spotted by a custodian on the way to work here. Firefighters arrived and called in a second alarm and started attacking the fire in the attic. They were able to knock it down in about 25 minutes. A fire captain says because the fire happened on a School Campus they will take a close look to see if this was arson and look for signs of vandalism and graffiti at the school. The superintendent suspects that that may be the case. We had a very small incident on another part of our campus earlier this year which was a small trash fire. But one of the things that well be doing is doing an assessment of our perimeter and access to our roofs. Reporter now, here is video of inside the classroom. Not too much damage that you see there. There is a hole in the ceiling because, of course, that was where the fire started on the roof. But firefighters were able to tarp the furniture inside, saving that for the school. Now, this fire, where it happened in this building, this wasnt used all summer long. Thats what were being told by the school district, that there is a Summer Program happening right now on the other side of campus. So there will be students here. But theyre going to be going on a field trip at least while this investigation is happening. Right now, as im talking, theyre actually playing an announcement to let the people who are coming on to campus right now know why the firefighters are here. Again an investigator is expected to show up. They havent ruled out any possibilities. At first they said it didnt appear to be suspicious. We just dont know the cause yet.

Law enforcement here in california may have a new tool soon. Ktvus katie uteis live along interstate 280 to explain how yellow alert would use a statewide system already in place. Reporter good morning, dave. On our drive from the east bay to San Francisco we saw several of those electronic billboards along our way. You can imagine the amount of eyes that see those billboards. You have often seen them run amber alerts. Yellow alerts would work the same way. Let me show you a picture of what the yellow alert sign would look like. Following a serious injury or fatal hitandrun collision chp would put out information about a vehicles make and model and license plate man. A family man out of burbank is push the bill following a hitandrun collision where a cyclist was trapped under a van and dragged 600 feet on to an onramp. The cyclist lost his leg and the driver was never caught. Drivers we talked to are behind the idea of an yellow alert. I absolutely Pay Attention to the amber alert system. And if it were to report, you know, other issues of interest to us, i think its a good idea. Reporter backers of Assembly Bill 47 say the alerts would be sent only if there is specific information available. The amber alert system started in 1996 following the abduction of a first lady from texas. So far this year the chp has called for six amber alerts, resulting in ten victims recovered. The yellow alert bill has until the end of august to pass committee. Back out here live, you can imagine what an effective tool this would be with the amount of eyes on the road looking out for just one suspect vehicle. There is already a blue alert for Law Enforcement. Thats if a Law Enforcement officer is attacked. There is a silver alert for elderly, if elderly people are missing and the word needs to get out. Of course, the amber alert for missing children. So the yellow alert would be yet another tool for chp to use. Live in San Francisco, katie utehs. Thank you, katie.

The san mateo bridge, this is not one of the cases. We have normal traffic here, which means you will see a lot of slowing before you make it on to the bridge. Once you make it to the bridge its about a 10 to 15minute drive across the span to the peninsula. I want to show you that slow traffic on the east bay im talking about southbound 880.

Vallejo police say the shooter involved in this driveby fired on this family more than a dozen times as they were getting set to leave their house last night. And one of the people who was struck by gunfire was at the time strapping two small children into the back seat of this car. We understand from Vallejo Police those two small children were between the ages of 4 and 6 years old and they were not hurt last night. But there was a 16yearold boy, the uncle of those children, who was its had in the leg. There was also a 26yearold man would was struck several times as he put the children in the back seat of the car. The shooting happened just before 10 last night outside a house that was on the 300 block of b. W. Williams drive. Police say a car pulled up to the house and someone inside began to fire. Relatives drove those two victims to the hospital and both of them, the teenager and the man, are expected to survive. Apparently, the older individual, the 26yearold, was helping put the children in the car when the gunfire erupted. The 16yearold was entering the vehicle on the right front passengers side when he was struck in the upper right thigh. Reporter police arent sure what prompted this shooting and no one there at that house has any idea why they would be targeted, according to investigators. Police say there were quite a few shots fired. As many as eight bullets went through the front wall of their house. The best lead investigators have are reports from witnesses about a black car speeding from the scene. It was possibly a Dodge Charger or a magnum that was seen driving away last night.
