Welcome to mornings on 2. It is thursday, september 11th. Im tori campbell. Im dave clark. Were also talking about your weather and traffic. Steve paulson is here with the forecast. I am indeed. We have dense fog. Some areas have fog. That tells me a west wind at sfo, certain locations will a drop a few degrees inland. Theres a lot of fog out here. Cant make any push west, east. Its more north to south. 50s and 60s. It wont take long to start warming u some lows are running 2, 4 degrees warmer than 24 hours ago. The fog will give some areas reduced visibility and for us inland, its going to start off on the cool side but then get hot again just like yesterday. So morning fog. Some of that is very dense on a few of the bridges. 90s to 60s, 70s by the water. Heres sal. The traffic is actually doing okay in many areas. Its getting a little bit slow. Lets go out and take a look at what we have with some of these live pictures, especially at the bay bridge toll plaza.

If you are driving on the peninsula, southbound 101 that earlier accident at marsh road near actually near willow road has gone to the side. 280 is still a better bet. 7 02. Back to the desk. Thank you, sal. Happening now, events as weve mentioned being held across the country to mark the 13th anniversary of the september 11th attacks. These are live pictures right now in shanksville, pennsylvania, where a moment of silence will be observed momentarily for the 40 passengers and crew members killed on that flight after it was taken over by the hijackers. This was the flight going from dullus airport in washington, d. C. To sfo. And at that point, this was the last plane hijacked. So some of the passengers learned what was going on through cell phones and they ended up attacking the hijackers, forcing the hijackers to crash the plane in a field in shanksville, pennsylvania instead of crashing it into what would have been a likely target, either the white house or capitol hill in washington, d. C. So lets listen into this moment of silence. Jean peterson. [bell tolling] mark david rothenberg.

Ktvus alex savidge is live to tell us why this house was targeted. Good morning, alex. Reporter tori, good morning to you. Police say two thieves came here to this home this morning to steal pot and thats because we understand there is a legal medical marijuana grow inside this home across the street from us. But this earlymorning breakin ended with the homeowner being shot. He heard those two thieves inside his house and then police say he chased them outside. Thats when they opened fire on him. The homeowner was shot once in the leg but he is going to be okay. This all happened about 1 30 this morning on Windsor Court. This is in the Rincon Valley neighborhood of santa rosa. Following that shooting, those two thieves ran off and that prompted a major Police Search involving a helicopter and k9 searches as well. One of the men was found hiding in the bushes and taken into custody. Officers couldnt find the other young man involved here. Police say the homeowner in this case really didnt want these thieves to get away. He even tried to detain one of them on his own initially. Its not Something Police recommend. In the heat of the moment, he certainly has a right to chase after the attack and attempt to detain him. This is one of the dangerous incidents we see, people breaking into holes, especially in these cases, there was a marijuana grow located in the house. It appears thats what the suspects were here, they cut down multiple Marijuana Plants. Reporter police say the homeowner in this case is really lucky to be arrive after this breakin that ended with gunfire. The young man who was taken into custody, police say hes 19 years old from santa rosa. His partner involved in this crime still on the run right now.

Today the country looks back at the countrys darkest days, nearly 3,000 people died on that day. Our reporter is back inman is back in manhattan with a look at the remembrances nationwide. Good morning, steve. Reporter good morning. When you walk around the streets of Lower Manhattan, you realize how much stuff has changed here. Its dramatically different. Today, it all comes back to you, especially for the families who lost their loves ones. The grief is overwhelming on this dreaded day. In the 13 years since the 9 11 attacks, the World Trade Center site has undergone dramatic changes. Where the twin towers once stood, one World Trade Center now stands as a beacon above the national 9 11 memorial and museum. Its the first time the memorial and humid will be open on an anniversary. The man in charge of the museum says the people of new york were forever changed by the attacks and they are well represented. They truly are a part of this very special place. When they come to the museum, they remember where they were on this day, who told them, everything they experienced. Reporter as theyve done every year since the attacks, the names of every person who perished in 2001 and in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing will be read aloud, punks waited by four punctuated by four moments of i sense. Chuck hagel and Martin Dempsey will hold a ceremony featuring a moment of silence and a speech from president obama. In shanksville, pennsylvania, the names of those who died there will be read and bells will be rung in remembrance. I think its important that on 9 11 each year we commemorate those who lost their lives and remember the importance of not getting our guard down when it comes to homeland security. Reporter and while much of the nation is focused on the new Terror Threat here in Lower Manhattan, you can see that so many people still to this day, 13 years later, are reliving the events of 9 11, even though so much time has passed. Back to you. Thank you. We have a special online section dedicated to remembering the terror attacks of 9 11. It includes some of the iconic images, information on the memorial and museum and more. You can find it under the hot topics section of ktvu. Com. 7 16. New this morning, a judge in south africa has ruled track star Oscar Pistorius cannot be found guilty of intentionally killing his girlfriend. The judge says evidence backs up pistoriuss claim that he mistook his girlfriend for an intruder when he shot and killed her in his home. The judge has ruled a premeditated verdict in this case. But she still has to decide if the olympic track star can be convicted on a lesser charge like manslaughter. The reading of the jumgs ruling is judges rule something over for today. It will continue tomorrow. Thats when a formal verdict is expected. He could be looking at a sentence, maybe five years. We want to check in with sal. See whats happening with the commute on this thursday morning. Good morning tori, dave. Were not too bad out there. The commute is very typical. Theres obviously a lot of slow traffic. Steve and i have been talking about the low clouds and fog. Dense in some areas. Steve will expand on that.

The traffic is backed up from a 30minute drive time from this point all the way out to the San Francisco side. Most of the wait something right here at the toll plaza waiting is right here at the toll plaza. The san mateo bridge is more crowded the last time we checked it out heading out to the peninsula. The crowded conditions start at 880 on westbound 92. We had a crash on women low road. Thats gone.

There are two pillars designed to represent the twin towers on this memorial and etched on one of them it says never forget 343 as a tribute. Eight new firefighter recruits were at the ceremony. Some were in grade school when the towers fell 13 years ago. To be able to participate is significant. It will be throughout their career.

Two free montfirefighters and their search fremont firefighters and their search dogs traveled to new york to help. A lot of memories for them and emotion, again, that was felt here and at all of the fire stations. The department has had that piece of steel for the past five years. They hadnt done anything with it because they were trying to figure out what they wanted the design to look like, where they planted it placed and what ended up happening is the firefighters themselves ended up building this, the city helped with the landscaping but they say it was truly a labor of love and they feel extremely privileged to have it here.
