We will have more on that in a few minutes. Sal has an update on the roadways. Good morning, mark. We do have quite a bit of action. Unfortunately, we have a lot of slow traffic. Eastshore freeway. The drive between the carquinez bridge and the macarthur maze. That drive time has doubled from earlier. 37 minutes. And as you drive to the macarthur maze you are going to see slow traffic at the bay bridge toll plaza. We had an earlier stalled truck on the upper deck of the bay bridge. Its been gone for an hour but traffic is slow partially because of that. A lot of people showing up to the bay bridge. Candlestick an accident. Traffic is backed up unexpectedly out of south city. If you are driving into the city think about using 280, which actually looks decent through daly city. That would be a decent alternate route for you. In the east bay heavy traffic on 280. 680 slow at 242. The slow traffic is picking up in many hours. Back to the desk. Thank you, sal. We are getting more details this morning after a deadly fire in san jose. Ktvus janine de la vega is outside the home where a body was found and is now talking to neighbors about what happened. Janine u just got a hold of some new cell phone video . Reporter yes. And it is dramatic. You can hear people. They were screaming because they knew that there was a man trapped in there and they were trying to save him before the firefighters arrived. We spoke to them and they tell us that they ran up here to the back of this home where you can see all of this damage. They could hear his cries for help. The fire was too intense. They couldnt get to him. Again you can see this aftermath of whats left of this home. Now lets go to some video that we have. Fire officials tell us they received this 911 call before 7 30 last night about the fire at this home near story and mclaughlin avenue. Before they arrived neighbors were spraying down the house trying to save it. When firefighters arrived a man told them he was in a garage when he smelled smoke. Somebody else was left in one of the back bedrooms. Firefighters did a search while knocking down the fire and then made the discovery. Heres how a neighbor described everything. We are in our garage and heard a bunch of commotion. We came out and saw the a house on fire. We tried to save the guy that was there but it was too late. He was screaming. We couldnt help him. It was too late. Reporter once the mans body was found police helped block off the neighborhood so an arson investigator could look into the cause. We are waiting to hear about that and what was the result of that investigation. We did ask the Coroners Office if it appeared the man died from the fire and they said yes. Thats what it appears, even though an autopsy hasnt been done. But there didnt seem to be anything suspicion about the extend of his injuries. Neighbors tell us the man who owns this home is a retired police officer. So its really unclear if he was home at the time. The neighbors mentioned he rented some of the rooms in the back of the home. So they think that the deceased may be a renter. We do not know at this point because the Coroners Office has not released that mans identity. We are working to get that cell phone video for you within the next hour. Thank you, gentleman. In San Francisco repair work starting today after a car crash ripped a fire hydrant from its foundation. Thousands of gallons of water gushed out of the gaping hole at gary boulevard and 11th avenue.

Spring break police will officially unveil their new San Francisco police will unveil their new quarter Million Dollars home. Ktvu fox 2s alex savidge joining us liven. You are in San Francisco to show us how officers can get stuck in gridlock during an emergency. Reporter the Public Safety building is here in the middle of the bustling Mission Bay Neighborhood and traffic tends to back up in front of the building on third street. That is especially true on game days at nearby at t park just a few blocks away. Let me show you the scene following yesterday afternoons giants games. With cars at a stand still towards king street, in the middle of that backup we saw a number of San Francisco Police Officers trying to leave the new he headquarters and the southern station here. Now, the problem is that officers, if they pull out of the falcon facilitys underground garage, can only make a right turn sending them streit into gridlock. We saw some cars waiting in the turn lane and turning around and looking for another way out of the mta admits the traffic situation certainly presents a challenge for police. A Department Spokesman tells ktvu it wont interfere with officers responding to emergencies. Our officers are constantly going out on patrol, going from one call to another call. For the most partner not going to be inside the station. Reporter on top of that, officers schedules are staggered to avoid long lines of Police Cruisers wait to go leave the station. Wait to go leave the station. Changing this intersection wont be as easy as simply restriping the lanes. There is a concrete barrier in the middle of the road that separates the traffic lanes from the muni tracks. And as i bring you back out here live this morning, this is the new building. It has been in use for a number of days already but the official grand opening celebration, the ribbon cutting, if you will, dave, will happen later on this morning at 11 00. All right. Alex savidge in francisco. Thank you. Time is now 7 08. Four Clayton Valley Charter High School students are facing charges for whats called a brazen armed robbery. The Contra Costa Times reports three of the students are football players. One is considered the star player of the team. According to the paper, the four students are accused of stealing marijuana and cellphones from an alleged drug dealer at gunpoint. All four are being charged now as adults. Their arraignment is scheduled a week from today. The owners of a San Francisco store filled with vintage jewelry and furniture are counting on modern surveillance cameras to catch the thieves in the latest smashandgrab burglar. Reporter take a look at this. One of the thieves use what appears to be a slingshot right there to break the glass on the front door of the store called stuff on valencia street yesterday morning. Now, this store sells furniture, jewelry, and collectibles. The four thieves ran in there, grabbed what they could in about four minutes. The stores owner says he lost as much as 5,000 in jewelry alone. Just trying to keep up my mess and start all over. We will have to look at if there are copycats. Are they all related to a larger organizational crime spree . So far no arrests have been made. However, this Surveillance Video does show some of the faces of the burglers. If you want to get a closer look at this Surveillance Video we have it on our website ktvu. Com. Look at it under featured stories. It is 7 10. An alaska Water Company says it has a way to ease californias drought. According to the Alaska Dispatch news, alaska bulk water pranc to begin exporting plans to exporting water to customers in california this summer. The details on how the water will get here, who will buy it, and how much they will pay are not known. The company has the rights to export as much as nine billion gallons of water a year from blue lake. Sounds like a lot. But to put that in perspective, the usgs says california uses approximately 38 billion gallons of water a day. Meanwhile, California Assembly republicans plan to announce legislation this morning to improve the states water storage system. We will get details at a press conference set for 10 30 this morning in sacramento. More coming up at ktvu fox 2news at noon. First the drought decimated the ski season in tahoe. Now its taking aim at another tourist draw. Several of the busiest boat launching ramps on lake tahoe are expected to remain closed for the entire Summer Season due to low water levels. The summer boating season typically opens may 1st. But with the Sierra Snowpack at the lowest level in a century a parks official says that wont happen this year. And i was in yosemite this past weekend and we drove past don pedro lake. It was so low my husband said they need to rename it don pedro puddle. You can see layer after layer where the water should be. It is so low. There is hardly any water left in it. Really sad. Time is 7 11 still ahead some catholics are asking the pope to replace San Franciscos archbishop. In 20 minutes the public way they are making it known they want the archbishop ousted and how the ar shall diocese is responding this morning. Up next a live report from the u. S. Capitol where a small aircraft made a very illegal landing yesterday. The message its pilot was trying to send and the concern its raising about safety. Good morning. We are looking at a commute where traffic is going to be okay in San Francisco. Its getting a little bit more crowded. There is the warm spot in the city that you might want to avoid. I will tell you where coming up. And we are tough to a mild start this morning across parts of the bay area. Also gusty winds. This is mount diablo. Winds cussing over 40 miles an hour. We will look at warm temperatures coming up after the break. Welcome back. Malaysian officials are going to double the search area for that missing Malaysian Airlines flight if they dont find it next week. 239 people on board more than a year ago. By next month, the searchers are expected to finish covering a 23,000 square mile area of the indian ocean near australia. Now, Officials Say if they dont find that plane by then, they will extend the search area by another 23,000 square miles. All right. It is 7 15. We want to check in with sal to see how the thursday morning commute is going. A few trouble spots out there, sal . Yeah, one, tori, dave. We are going out to it. Had is 101 in San Francisco coming in from south city and thats because of an earlier crash near candlestick exit. Most of the slow traffic is northbound on 101. The best thing you can do, i think, is to come through daly city and go into francisco doing that. Southbound 101 traffic is going to be busy. The crash is gone. It was there for long enough that the traffic is still going to take a while to recover. Again 280 is better than 101 at this point. San mateo bridge not bad. 880 oakland and hayward a little bit of slow traffic heading south towards fremont. We also had traffic on the sin ole grade as well. The toll plaza of the bay bridge. We had an earlier truck stall on the span. Thats gone. Traffic is backed up for 30minute delay. In san jose northbound 280 up to highway 217 880 that is backed up. The south bay beginning to fill in a little bit. Not any major problems on the roads. 7 16. Lets go to mark tamayo. A change in the wind direction will change your day.

San franciscos current temperature right now, it is 62 degrees in San Francisco. Mild here. San jose 50. Fairfield checking in at 60 degrees. As far as the wind speeds, the wind has kind of picked up the past hour in fairfield out of the north gusting to 22 Miles Per Hour. Some more wind reports for you not adds strong. Calm winds towards sfo, hayward, san jose. Towards mount diablo, 40 Miles Per Hour. Here is our microclimate forecast for today. If you are going to be at the coast be careful because we will with building surf throughout the day and increase in the rip currents. Look at the temperature sensor. It is warming back up across the bay and eventually on track to reach the 80s. Lots of 80s expected across the area. The warmest locations could be around 83, 84, possibly 85 degrees by 3 00. All because of this guy. This area of High Pressure building over head. The sinking air is warming air and sticks around for today. Tomorrow the only change we are going to have more of an on shore breeze kick in. The coast will shave off a few degrees in the friday forecast. It will be warm this evening at the ballpark at at t. Mostly clear skies with the diamondbacks in town now with the temperatures mainly in the upper 60s. First pitch just after 7 15. Forecast highs this afternoon. Look at the 80s out there for santa rosa and fairfield. Walnut creek 82. San leandro in the upper 70s. San jose lower 80s. San francisco upper 70s. 77. Your fiveday forecast. Tomorrow we are going to keep things warm. Minor cooling coast side and that minor cooling will continue into the weekend. But overall a nice weekend forecast. And we are Still Holding on to the possibility of showers next week. We will keep an eye on that for wednesday or thursday. Fingers crossed. It felt kind of a warm, tropical breeze this morning. I have been hearing about that. I should take a walk around the building outside. All right. Thank you. Mark. It is 7 19. A mailman from florida who made a really unexpected delivery in washington, d. C. Is in a whole lot of trouble after flying his gyrocopter on the grounds of the u. S. Capitol. Fox news corner doug la zater outside the capitol. Reporter if you need. Reporter this place was loaded with tourists. This gyrocopter zoomed around the Washington Monument down the length. National mall here. It got to this point. You see where the tourists are there taking pictures, the statue of grant. This passed over the statue and got to the end of the mall. Thats where the u. S. Capitol is. If we zoom in you see there is a Little Orange traffic cone there marking the spot where this gyrocopter sat down. You can hear the stunned tourists as that tiny helicopter, a gyrocopter, flew right over their heads on to the west lawn of the capitol. I said, oh my goodness, they are using drones with men to bring the mail. Thats how google is going to deliver the mail. Reporter doug hughes from florida was quickly surrounded by u. S. Capitol police. If all of this looked like it caught capitol security off guard, maybe it shouldnt have. Hughes was pretty open about his plans. I am going to land on the capitol mall in front of the capitol building. Reporter that was hughes talking to the Tampa Bay Times in advance of his flight and telling them that as a postal worker he intended to fly to washington to deliver letters to all 535 members of congress depannedding Campaign Finance reform. He called at noon as he was on the runway about to take rough. Reporter in fact, the a Tampa Bay Times reporter was outside the capitol to watch it happen and he says hughes wasnt exactly under the radar, so to speak. He wanted the alameda to know. He wanted the authorities to know. He was live broadcasting this. The bomb squad determined that it was no longer a threat. Why werent authorities prepared for this . The secret service did speak to hughes back in 2013, but that appears to be it. He may face federal charges now for airspace violations at the very least. But the authorities here will face perhaps a larger question. Why this seemed to catch nearly everyone unaware. There are going to be some familiar questions here that we always hear in the wake of incidents like this. Federal agencies communicating well enough with one another to talk about existing threats that one agency knew about and maybe another one didnt . As for mr. Hughes, he is going to face a whole slew of charges, no doubt. Its against the rules here to fly a kite on capitol hill much less land an aircraft. Yeah, i am sure he will be facing serious challenges. Thank you, doug. It is 7 22. We are official on on round two of royal baby watch. St. Marys hospital in london is prepared for the large crowds expected to welcome the next prince or princess. Parking has been suspended in front of the hospital for the next two weeks. The palace is telling media crews they cannot camp out near the hospital. Last year Prince William and Kate Middleton announced they were expecting their second child. Prince william is second in line for the thrown making his Children Future heirs. Prince george, i am sure, very excited. Unfamiliar sight during a changing of the guard ceremony in front of buckingham palace. One of the guards slipped and fell on a manhole. Tourists often try to get them to smile or react. The man who filmed the fall says a lot of people watching were shocked. True to form the guard got back up as if nothing had happened. You feel for him. He got right back up. And they dont obviously smile or react in public. I am sure in private he is going to get a little bit of grief. Right. Time is 7 23. The warriors won again last night. They are going to the playoffs. A winning note. And coming up in 25 minutes we sat down with one of the star players about whats ahead. But first. You all right . I am good. Tell me, whats on your mind . It sucks. Okay. Okay. Tension on American Idol last night. What it was about and now esclated with a contestant approaching the judges table. Welcome back to mornings on 2. There is a lot of buzz this morning around American Idol. But not necessarily about the performances. Instead, everybody is talking about the heated moment between the contestant Quentin Alexander and the judge herrick connick jr. Now, he is known for his style. He has a unique twist for his songs. Last night he sang a song, are you going to go my way. Its a Lenny Kravetz song. It was his reaction to the appearance of his two Close Friends in the bottom two that stole the spotlight. Tell me whats on your mind . This sucks. Okay. What sucks . Tell me what sucks. We have two of the best vocalists, my best friend is sitting over there. This whole thing is whack. I am going to shut up right now. Oh, woi. As he walked off the stage you hear judge Harry Connick jr. Say i dont understand those comments at all. If its what whack, then you can always go home because idol is paying a lot of money to give you this experience. To say this to this hand is feeding you right now i think is highly disrespectful. This is the bond, you know . When i said that this was whack, i wasnt saying this was whack. You said this whole thing was whack. I thought thats what you meant . Yeah, yeah, i get it. Whats whack . Its a competition. Now, after a little back and forth here, alexander went and sat down. The competition continued on American Idol. After the show alexander says he may have been misunderstood, but he wouldnt change anything he said. Now, in the end joey cook, alexanders best friend, joey was eliminated. That leaves six contestants still on American Idol at the show. And dont forget you can watch American Idol right here on ktvu channel channel 2. The next episode is wednesday, april 22 at 8 p. M. Thank you, dave. 7 28. A fiveyearold girl attacked by a man as she walked down the street with her mother. What police say happened and how that little girl is doing.

We will have reaction from the ar shall diocese next. 7 31. Thursday, april 16. Good morning once again. I am tori campbell. I am dave clark. Lets check weather and traffic. Mark tamayo, i know you are in for steve. Do you have some sunshine for tori . We have an abundance. More than we want right now. In fact, mild temperatures as well. Stepping outside the door, i had to double check the numbers this morning because we have some 60s out there right now. Taking a look at the temperatures from yesterday, you can see 60s, 70s, even around 80 degrees. A big warmup today all because we have a change in the wind direction. Winds coming out of the north. There is the eventual temperature range for your thursday afternoon. 70 to 85 degrees. Right now showing you some pretty mild numbers. Look at San Francisco checking in at 63. This is the Oakland Airport temp. 50s. Downtown oakland 60s and 60 fairfield towards the livermore are area as well. You can see out of the north in fairfield winds gusting to 22 miles an hour. Thats a sustained wind of 17 Miles Per Hour. And some more wind reports not nearly as strong for sfo. Reporting a calm wind. Stronger winds in the higher elevations, especially above 1,000 feet. Oakland hills winds over 40 Miles Per Hour this morning. Here is our forecast today. Showing you yellows and oranges. That links up with the 70s and 80s this afternoon. Take a look at this 8 00 temperature range. 50 to 65 degrees. And then into the afternoon hours 70s mandirs. Here is the temperature timeline. In the south bay today for san jose you can see temperatures on track to easily reach the lower 80s by about 3, 4, and 5 00 this afternoon. So these numbers up a good five to ten degrees over yesterdays highs. San francisco 77. Lots of 80s towards fairfield and concord. We will look at the friday forecast and the weekend forecast in a few minutes. Sal is standing by with an update on the roadways. Good morning to you, mark. We are going to start off with the south bay. I want to show you some things in san jose. As we look at the freeways, highway 101 is going to be slow as you drive through. The traffic is going to be slowing down. In fact, we can show you a map of the area and you can see the traffic is going to be slow as you drive through. I also want to mention that the capitol corridor train, train number 524, had an equipment problem. It could be at least an hour delay. Now, they said an hour at first and then they said 42 minutes. The bottom line is train number 524 is running late by lets just say 45 minutes and split the difference. You might want to take on that if you take the capitol corridor between san jose and sacramento. Lets move to live pictures now. I want to show you the bay bridge toll plaza. A live picture, i should say. Its backed up to the macarthur maze. Lets go back to the desk. All right, sal. San jose police are busy investigating a deadly crash that killed two people and left a car upside down on bta light rail tracks. Look at the picture. Five people were in the car when it crashed. Two people died right there at the scene. Three others were rushed to the hospital. Investigators are trying to determine if alcohol and speed were factors in the crash. As for bta service, it appears to be operating normally in that area this morning. Well, some very prominent catholics are making a very public call for the pope to remove the archbishop of San Francisco. This comes after months of controversy over church doctrine. Especially at catholic schools. Ktvu fox 2s Tara Moriarty joining us live. You are in San Francisco to tell us how this group is getting the word out. Good morning, tara. Reporter good morning. Its 100 people that signed this letter to the pope, including the father of new England Patriots quarterback tom brady. This is the front page of the San Francisco chronicle. This is the back side. You can see this is full actual this is actually a fullpage ad. It is a request, holy father, please provide us with a leader true to our values and your namesake. Please replace archbishop. They say he has fostered intolerance. He said he forced them to sign a morality clause. They say his purr to change the faculty handbook is mean spirited and they are angry about the pastor that he picked who they believe marginalizes participation in the church by banning girls from altar service. We spoke to a teacher who says she has been appalled and ashamed by the archbishops actions. I was thrilled to hear that they took out a fullpage ad because i am equally appalled at what the archbishop has done. I dont understand why the pope, who is moving in a progressive direction, would allow somebody who is moving in a regressive direction to lead the Catholic Church in San Francisco. Reporter now, the ad draw a Swift Response from the archdiocese saying, quite, the signors presume to speak for the Catholic Community of San Francisco. They do not. The leaders, the people who drafted this letter are going to be holding a press conference at 10 30 this morning and we will be there and bring you the latest at noon.

Are they excited about it . Reporter they are, tori. I am excited for them. It is quite an honor to meet our heroes, our veterans of world war ii.

They will be flying on Virgin Airlines it to d. C. Not just to visit the world war ii memorial. How they are able to fly for free is through honor flight. It has a local chapter here in the bay area. And simply through fundraising they were able to pay for each of the veterans flights, meals, hotel. About 1,200 a person for our veterans to see the memorial. For many of them they thought this day would never come. I feel really honored to be a part of this trip and being in the service. At the time that i was in the service, maybe i wasnt too excited about it. But looking back i am proud that i was in the service. I was able to help my country and do my little part.

I have been able to figure out that spring break that most people have was last week. Some people have it this week. Then someone tweeted me yesterday that some schools start their spring break on april 20th. Its all over the months. But we dont have as much of it today. Thats for sure. Lets look at some of these pictures we have for you. We will start off at the bay bridge toll plaza. It has been very slow this morning. We had an earlier truck stall on the upper deck of the bridge. That was cleared an hour and a half ago now. The traffic has been slower than usual as you approach the bridge. About a 30 to 35minute delay. We are hoping its going to clear out a little bit. Lets take a look at interstate 880. Northbound 880 is beginning to slow down. I have been looking at this camera. Its just a little bit windy. Its almost imperceptible but you see it moving from side to side. This camera is mounted on a building near a coliseum. Its possible it could be breezy there. Way to put you on the spot, huh, mark . Anyway, northbound 101 in san jose and 28 0 and 17 the traffic is going to be a little bit slow now. This is really the heart of the south bay commute. Look at 101. The road sensors are fired up red. Its a tough time getting into mountain view. I am not seeing spring break conditions at the south bay today. 7 48. Hello, mark tamayo. I was not prepared to talk about the wind in this segment.

Sal is standing by with an update on the roadways. Good morning to you. We have a new crash reported southbound 101 in San Francisco. Our camera is looking at 101 and you can definitely tell something is going on southbound 101 at caesar chavez. An accident reported about ten minutes ago. The traffic is backing up. This could affect the traffic coming off the bay bridge westbound as you get into the city and that could have an effect on the entire bay bridge commute. Its already slow because of earlier problems. Now there is that crash. 280 is a decent alternate route for you instead of heading on 101 out of the city. Remember 101 is also busy northbound out of south city because of an earlier crash at candlestick. Moving along and taking a look at the bay bridge, it is backed up out to about the macarthur maze. Thats too bad because it just started looking normal and now we have that problem on 101. I really hope thats cleared soon because it could go right back up to looking terrible again in just a few moments. Lets talk about san jose. All of a sudden we have a lot of slow traffic on 280, 101, 85. Some people have been saying, yeah, you know, spring break is over. It looks like it. We dont have a lot of light freeways. Lets go back to the desk. Thank you, sal. It is a tough morning for people in one san jose neighborhood after they witnessed one of their neighbors die in a fire. Now firefighters are trying to figure out what may have started it. Ktvus janine de la vega live from san jose with more on the investigation and the new video of neighbors trying to rescue the man. Janine, i imagine those neighbors are really shaken up today . Reporter they are, tori. They tell me that they had a hard time sleeping last night. They felt helpless because they heard this man screaming for help. He was in one of the back bedrooms here. And you can see there is charred remains. The windows are boarded up. The flames were just too big and they couldnt save them, and neither could firefighters. Is he in there . Yeah. Hes in there . Are you serious . Get him out reporter here is cell phone video showing the smoke and neighbors frantically running around trying to help the man trapped inside this home near story road and mclaughlin avenue. This happened at around 7 20 last night when one of the men called 911 saying he was in the garage when he smelled smoke. He escaped but knew there was someone still left inside. One neighbor told us it was heartbreaking hearing this man yelling. We heard like all the commotion. Then we saw my husband saw the fire and then we ran next door and he heard him like screaming and stuff. So there is all kinds of people trying to help him get out. It was too late. Reporter firefighters arrived and searched for the man while they knocked down the flames. His body was found in one of the bedrooms. An arson investigator came together with evidence to help determine the cause of the fire. Neighbors say they did not hear smoke alarms going off when the fire was burning. Actually, we didnt. There was no smoke alarms. I couldnt hear no smoke alarms. Reporter we havent seen any sign of the homeowner yet. Neighbors tell us he is a retired police officer. Its unclear if he was home at the time. We are told that he used to rent rooms here in the back. But its unknown if the man who died lived here, since his identity hasnt been released yet. The coroner says that it should take some time because this man was badly burned. Tori. Thank you, janine. Six minutes after 8 00. New this morning in San Francisco repair work could start today after a car crash ripped a fire hydrant from its foundation. Thousands of gallons of water gushed out of the gaping hold at gary boulevard and 11th avenue. The wreck happened around midnight. At least two cars were involved in the crash and at least two people were hurt. A fire battalion chief reportedly estimated that 75,000 gallons of water was lost. Time is 8 07. There will be a special ribboncutting ceremony in San Francisco for the new police headquarters. Its part of a quarter billion dollars safety cam must in the Mission Bay Neighborhood. However, Police Officers may vaughn into a serious problem may run into a serious problem during injuries. How Police Response times could be slowed down. Reporter yeah, thats the concern here. Good morning to you, dave. As officers leave the new Public Safety building here in the Mission Bay Neighborhood they head right out here on to busy third street and right into trouble potentially. Here is the issue. A few blocks down there at t park. And on game days the traffic on third is bumpertobumper. Let me show you the scene from yesterday after the giants game ended in the afternoon. Cars were at a virtual stand still heading towards king street. In the middle of all that backup a number of San Francisco Police Officers trying to leave the new headquarters and southern station. Now, the problem is officers can only make a right turn onto third after they pull out of the garage here. We even saw some squad cars waiting to make a right turn and turning around and giving up and looking for another way out. The mta says it presents a challenge for police, but a Department Spokesman tells ktvu that he doesnt believe the traffic will interfere with officers responding to emergencies. One neighborhood who lives close by isnt so sure. When there is a game day, the traffic is bumpertobumper. If there is an emergency, i really dont think they can even get out. There is no way they can get out. This street, all the street is bumper to bumper. Back to back. I watch this every single game. Reporter now, Police Spokesman tells ktvu that officers schedules are staggered to avoid long lines of Police Cruisers waiting to leave the station. In an emergency dispatchers of course can send officers from any of the other nine districts. Meantime, the mta is exploring options to ease the traffic troubles near this new facility. But change this intersection wont be as simple as restriping the lanes. Thats because there is a concrete barrier in the middle of the road that separates the traffic lanes from the muni track. So some traffic troubles here with this new Public Safety building which, by the way, they will have the grand opening, the ribboncutting ceremony, later on this morning, dave, at 11 00. Thats an interesting dilemma. Alex savidge. Thank you. The owners of a San Francisco store filled with vintage jewelry and furniture are counting on modern surveillance cameras to catch thieves in the citys latest smashandgrab burglary. Take a look.

Alexander is from new orleans is known for his style and unique twists on songs. Last night he sang are you going to go my way by Lenny Kravetz.

We have two of the best vocalists, my best friend is sitting over there. This whole thing is whack. I am going to shut up right now. As alexander walked off the stage you could hear judge Harry Connick jr. Saying he couldnt understand those comments at all. If its that whack, then you can always go home because idol is paying a lot of money to give you this experience. For you to say that to this hand that is feeding you right now i think is highly disrespectful. Yeah. This is the bond, you know . You can hear Jennifer Lopez saying whoa, whoa, whoa. Alexander went and sat down and the competition continued. After the show alexander says he may have been misunderstood but he would not change anything he said.

Yes, sir. We get things right at channel 2. Good morning. Lets take a look at the commute at the bay bridge toll plaza. It is getting a little bit better, but its still slow. We had a couple of things that got in the way of a good commute and now things are finally recovering. No major problems looking at the commute on 880 northbound its interesting for two reasons. First of all, northbound 880 is slow and there is no spring break at all, as it looks like here. But its windy, as mark has been saying. Its gusty and windy and our cameras are shaking a little bit. You might want to take that into consideration. Speaking of candlestick in San Francisco, we have a terrible commute on the peninsula trying get into the city for a variety of reasons. A couple of accidents and 101 out of south city is slow. But 280 is no good alternate because it is backed up out of daly city both leading into downtown San Francisco. The only solution i have is either to take Public Transportation like bart or leave earlier. 8 34. Back to the desk. San jose Police Still Investigating a deadly crash last night that killed two people and left a car upside down on bta light rail tracks. Now, look at the pictures.

Replace archbishop cordileone. 100 people have signed it, including the father of new England Patriots quarterback tom brady. This group said that cordileone has fostered an atmosphere of division and tolerance, intolerance. A major issue for them. They say that he has coerced High School Teachers and staffers to sign a morality clause that characters sex outside of marriage and homosexual relations as gravely evil. They say his push to change the faculty handbook is mean spirited. We spoke to dozens of parishoners here in San Francisco who overwhelmingly supported this letter. I think the pope is progressive. I think this archbishop is not. I think its very opposite. And i think its a good thing that catholics and non catholics are speaking up saying, you know, times have changed and we need to do whats right for the people who live here. I think it makes sense because we are just its like taking a step back these days. I am not sure if we are ready to do that. I dont think its fair to all the teachers, what they have to go through to sign something that they are not willing to do. I dont think it would be a good precedent. I agree with it. I do not agree with discrimination of any kind. I think living in San Francisco, living here most of my life, i am very liberal and i dont believe anybody should be discriminated against. Reporter now, the ad drew a Swift Response from the archdiocese saying the diners presume to speak for the city of San Francisco. They do not. The group that orchestrated this letter will hold a press conference at 10 30. We will bring you the latest on our noon news. Live from San Francisco, Tara Moriarty, back to you. Thank you. Time is 8 37. A homeless man is in jail this morning accused of attacking a fiveyearold San Francisco girl for no apparent reason. Adrias kosdi is charged with several felonies. The attack occurred yesterday morning as a little girl and her mother walked down the street at union and octavia. He lifted her off the ground and placed her against the side of a building. Now, he was booked into San Francisco county jail. That little child was treated for minor injuries on her neck and throat. No new measles cases pop up today. California Health Authorities say they will officially declare the outbreak over. The measles scare originated at disneyland back in december and spread to several states and countries. In all, 131 people in california were infected. In order for the outbreak to be considered over, two backtoback incubation periods totaling 42 days must pass without any additional cases being reported. While that period ends friday, public debate sparked by the outbreak continues. A state mandatory vaccination bill inspired by the outbreak is stalled with no vote until at least next week. Lets begin, please. Tensions ran high as hundreds of parents showed up to testify against the bill at the State Capitol in sacramento yesterday. It would require kids to get vaccinated before they can enroll in school and eliminate a loophole that allows parents to opt out of vaccinations because it conflicts with their personal beliefs. Opponents say the bill is unconstitutional and tramples on personal rights. I am in fear of this law. I dont want the government telling me what i am going to be injecting into my childrens bodies. I dont think that our children should be forced to be at risk because of someone he is choices. California is one of 19 states allowing parent to cite personal belief or religious exemptions. The Senate Education committee delayed the vote and is scheduled to revisit the issue next wednesday. Its important to note similar efforts to change vaccine rules failed recently in washington and oregon. Interesting, tori. This will be a hot top ig for a long time.
