Thats a rooster. Wait a minute. Well, its a rooster. [ applause ] control room is awake. Its good to know the control room is awake. Is that kevin on that . Kevin kevin has his feet. Very well done. Its not often you see a winter storm watch posted for thursday into friday on a tuesday, but that is what has already developed. The National Weather service with reno and sacramento. Theyre not messing around. Winter weather advisories canceled, winter storm out. Thats the more severe of them. Thats a watch. We think conditions are ripe, warning means its happening. It will probably be a warning by the time we get to thursday, but its already a watch. A lot of cloud cover over us, some breaks in the clouds, mix of some lower clouds, high clouds. 40s, 50s on the temps. I doubt they change too much. A few 30s to the south. Morgan hill is 49, gilroy at 46 and a lot of 40s to even 50 in campbell and 49 scotts valley, so santa cruz is in there as well. Everyone is pretty close. The sierra looking for snow around 7,000 feet, but then it will go down to about 2,500 feet late friday into saturday. We get some breaks, mostly cloudy in the morning. Light rain develops mainly north by this afternoon. 50s to near 60 on some of the temps. All right, sal, 5 02. Yes, sir. Reporter no rain this morning. Were good. Reporter yes. At least for today because whenever it does rain we get commutes that are not great, so this morning thank goodness we dont have any. Thank you, steve. Lets go to the tracy commute. We already have a lot of slow traffic, though, as youre driving on 580 and 205. As a matter of fact, it doesnt look very good on 205. A lot of people are dealing with this. The speeds are down and well let you know that there are no unusual circumstances to your normal commute through the area. And getting to pleasanton, livermore also looks good. Lets go out and take a look at what we have with the commute on interstate 880 northbound and southbound between the coliseum between downtown oakland and hayward, really, it looks good in both directions. If youre driving to the bay bridge right now, theres a very small delay at the toll plaza and almost nothing unusual here. Im just looking at the entire region. Getting into San Francisco on the bay bridge and also on the golden gate also looking very good. 5 03. Lets go back to the desk. Sal, thank you. We are following breaking news, this is from east san jose. Police have been called to a home near story road and clayton road. An armed man has several other people with him. Yeah. The home is actually on arthur avenue. That street is closed from what we are told. Ktvus janeen del la vega on scene with the information. Janeen, you were saying that people in the neighborhood may have to evacuate. Reporter yeah, thats what it sounds like. We havent seen that happen yet. And were being kept quite a ways back here. They put up crime tape, they have a police car here. Theres one in the distance. In the last half hour we tried to go to the other side of the street to see if we could get a closer view, but one of the Police Officers there told our photographer to get back, that he was in the line of fire. So we had to come over back to this other side. Not too much has changed. We know that police have been talking to this man on the phone, and he is refusing to leave. We know that Police Sources tell me that hes been threatening to harm himself and that he is armed, and so, of course, theyre trying to handle this situation with caution. They are waiting for the merge unit which is basically the s. W. A. T team to arrive, and we told and were told that more officers are coming to the area to help in case they do have to do evacuations. Right now there is no shelter in place, but this situation has been going on since 1 45 this morning, and it was reportedly started as a Domestic Violence call. So right now were not getting too much information from the lieutenant and sergeants out here because theyre very busy, but were going to continue to stay on this just because, again, theyre trying to get this man who is armed with a gun inside the house and apparently other people, possibly a child inside there refusing to leave, and they just want to make sure this situation does not get out of control. Back to you. All right, again, if people are just joining us, east san jose, janeen, a very active scene. We will check with you throughout the morning. Janeen, thank you. Time now 5 05. New this morning, president elect donald trump made it official, he has chosen Rex Tillerson, the exxonmobil ceo to be his secretary of state just about an hour ago. Trump tweeted, quote, i have chosen one of the truly great Business Leaders of the world to be secretary of state. Now, tillerson has close ties with russia and that has raised many concerns with some leading republican lawmakers. Well, the president elect is also reportedly closing in on an Energy Secretary and dismissing concerns about russian hacking allegations. Yeah. Doug lucada joining us with the latest transition news from washington. Reporter well, this is Rex Tillerson and he is Donald Trumps pick for secretary of state after a very intense and pretty public competition. Exxonmobil ceo Rex Tillerson has spent a great deal of time on the word stage, but hes never been a government official, much less a secretary of state. But his expected desire for better relations with russia is in keeping with Donald Trumps views, and the president elect has been infusive in his praise. I mean, hes a worldclass player. Reporter the real loser here may be former gop nominee mitt romney meeting repeatedly with trump and at one point seen as a frontrunner for state, despite his earlier differences with the president elect. On twitter last night romney posted it was an honor to have been considered for secretary of state of our great country. Trump is also said to be on the verge of picking former Texas Governor rick perry as Energy Secretary. Commerce, education and the whats the third one there . Lets see. Reporter energy is one of the departments perry spoke of eliminating during his failed president ial bid back in 2011, but couldnt remember its name. All of this as more questions emerge about russias role in the election. Supporters of Hillary Clinton suggest that an investigation into alleged russian email hacks could impact the outcome of the Electoral College vote next week. This was not a secret. Reporter president obama, though, arguing that much about russias role was known before the election. But democrats and republicans on capitol hill will press for a broader investigation, putting them at odds with trump. The russians are not our friends. We ought to approach all of these issues on the assumption that the russians do not wish us well. Reporter donald trump, in the meantime, was supposed to have a press conference later this week to detail his efforts to distance himself from his business interests. Now hes decided to push that back into next year. In washington, doug luceder, fox news. Also new this morning, it was a much longer trip than planned for passengers on board a plane from charlotte, North Carolina to sfo. The American Airlines flight was diverted at Sky Harbor Airport in phoenix last night because of a problem with the fluid pressure. Now, passengers were taken off the plane which was then examined and towed to the gate. The passengers had to board another flight that safely landed at sfo about 2 30 this morning. That was more than 5 1 2 hours later than scheduled. A bomb threat forced a Lufthansa Airline flight from houston, texas to frankfort, germany to land at new yorks jfk airport last night. Once the plane landed in new york, it was searched, but investigators did not find anything suspicious. All 530 passengers and the crew had to be rescreened. Authorities say someone phoned in a credible threat to lufthansas Corporate Office in germany. The airline tweeted that the flight was diverted as a matter of precaution. Time now 5 08. New this morning, city college of San Francisco will have to give back 39 million to the state because of bad bookkeeping. The state says city college can prove it taught 16,000 students in almost 600 online classes. The San Francisco chronicle reports the classes took place between 2011 and 2014. The newspaper says the school disoferred the bad recordkeeping discovered the bad recordkeeping and reported the problem so state officials dont suspect fraud. City college can make payments on this over 10 years, but its really bad news for a school already facing budget problems because of declining enrollment and also theyre dealing with accreditation problems. Well, while San Francisco mayor ed lee is Still Deciding who will be the citys new police chief, later today the board of supervisors will debate where future Police Chiefs should live. Now, through the mid1980s San Francisco had a requirement, its Police Chiefs had to live in the city, but that rule was dropped in order to recruit more police chief candidates. Now the board of supervisors is considering a nonbinding resolution that would recommend the police chief live in the city. Supporters of that resolution say president obamas task force on policing recommends Police Chiefs live in the city theyre sworn to protect. Right now 27 of San FranciscoPolice Officers live in the city. In the meantime palo alto now joins a growing list of bay area cities searching for a new police chief. Palo alto announced on social media chief dennis burns will retire at the end of the year. Hes retiring after more than 30 years as chief. Captain ron watson will take over on an interim basis during the recruitment process. Now, other local cities looking for a new police chief include San Francisco, oakland, berkeley and petaluma. It is 10 minutes after 5 00. And a disabled man was knocked to the ground and robbed by someone on a bike in san jose. This guy takes it to another level by preying on someone thats disabled. Coming up in our next half hour, the search for the suspect and the reason some neighbors say theyre not surprised about what happened. Plus police in los angeles finally caught up with a woman who led them on a chase for an hour and a half on two freeways. Well tell you how it started. Thats coming up. Reporter good morning. We see that traffic is going to be busy in many areas, including the macarthur maze. You can see traffic is moving well coming around the corner, but it is getting more crowded. And coming around the corner a lot of clouds and they continue to roll up from the west southwest. Eventually that will lead to some rain for some. All the care your family needs. All connected for you. Kisses deluxe chocolates. With a whole roasted hazelnut, delicate crisps and layers of rich, creamy chocolate, theyre twice the size of the kisses chocolates you love. Say more with kisses deluxe. Welcome back to to mornings on 2. Its 5 14. The Bakersfield Police department is promising a full investigation into the Deadly Police shooting of an unarmed man. It happened yesterday near gosford road in southwest bakersfield. Now, officers responding to reports of a man with a gun a gunshot and they killed they shot and killed the 73 yearold man who was standing in a driveway near his home. Investigators later determined the man did not have a gun. Now, his family says he was in the early stages of dementia. A woman accused of stealing a car was caught last night in los angeles after leading authorities on a high speed chase on freeways and city streets. Sheriffs deputies spotted the stolen car at about 7 00 p. M. They chased her on two freeways and back onto city streets. She ran red lights and nearly hit other cars along the way. The pursuit ended an hour and a half later when she got out of the car and started to run. Authorities quickly caught up with her and used a taser to subdue her. Time is now 5 15. President obama during an appearance on the daily show explained why he ordered a full review into potential hacking aimed at influencing the recent president ial election. The reason that i have called for a review is really to just gather all the threads of the investigations, the intelligence work that has been done over many months, and put it in a single document that can be shared with members of congress, relevant intelligence agencies, they can be shared with the Transition Team so that they understand what exactly happened. President elect donald trump, in the meantime, dismisses claims that Russian Hackers were trying to get him elected. In the meantime, the state of wisconsin is now has now certified donald trump the winner of wisconsins november election. A statewide recount paid for by the green party gave mr. Trump 131 more votes. He beat Hillary Clinton in wisconsin by almost 23,000 votes. Recount efforts in pennsylvania and michigan were blocked by the courts. Happening today, the Berkeley City Council is set to vote on emergency measures to help address the citys homeless crisis. A homeless Advocacy Group has promised a proposed plan that would include a sanctioned community for tents with water, garbage and santation. Advocates say the proposal comes after a homeless camp was raided earlier this month for the 9th time in two months. They want Homeless People to have a safe place to stay, especially with the colder temperatures and rain in the forecast. Well, the wet weather in the last week has helped fill reservoirs across northern california. At folsom lake east of sacramento, the water level has increased 18 feet since last wednesday. The bureau of reclaimation plans to open the flood gates there for just the first time in five years because more rain is expected during the next few days. That will double the amount of water that normally flows past the folsom dam and into the American River and then ends up in the delta. Time now 5 17. Sal is right over there. Youre watching our commute. Everybody behaving for you . Reporter i think so, dave. Okay. Reporter and pam. I think so. Were looking at a nice commute, for example. This time we always look at the gilroy commute. Lets go there and see what we have with northbound 101. You can see traffic is moving along pretty well. If you are driving on the commute here, you can see northbound 101 looks good as you pass san jose as you pass morgan hill and into san jose, and all the way up into the valley. You can see that traffic is looking good on 280, 85 and 101. Lets go to oakland, the macarthur maze commute, not bad, westbound 80 from berkeley down to the maze, 580 also from lake shore and 880 as youre driving in through downtown oakland up to the maze, you can see traffic looks good when you bet to the bay bridge. Those meters lights havent gone on. They usually go on about 5 30. No problems on the bridge into San Francisco. Todays weather, lets go to steve in the studio. Thank you, sal. Youre welcome, steve. Good morning, everybody. We do have cloudy or mostly cloudy skies, some breaks this there. You can see the moonlight from the almost full moon which will be at 4 05 p. M. Today. Kind of quiet now, just a lot of cloud cover coming over, and it will continue to roll in and thicken up and give some light rain mainly to the north bay. But then you see some of the colder tops, whiter tops are offshore. So we have a ways to go. For the morning were fine. Cloudy, but by this evening well soob so light rain, already in advance of the thursday system. A winter storm watch has been posted for the sierra, northeast california now. The snow level is going to go from about 5,000, to about 2,500 by the time we get to late friday into saturday. Again, snowfall will be in feet, not so much until late thursday, friday. So if you have to travel, today, tomorrow would be the time to go. 50s on the temps for some, 40s on others. Looks good here. Few 30s up into mendocino county, lake county. Mid40s for san rafiel. 39 38 from ukiah, 48 down inlation. Could be some in las vegas today. A bigger system is coming down and the greatest impacts will be on thursday. A lot of cloud cover today, eventually some of this will start to thicken up and its coming out of the west southwest, the mild sector, the warm sector, if you will, the rainfall wont be but up to the north. Thursday a stronger system comes in. This does look like a better opportunity for san jose. Its a much different pattern. Its coming in more in a classic cold front instead of out of the west where the Santa Cruz Mountains take all your moisture. So it sure looks like by late friday into friday night, after that then the cold air arrives. But there should be some pretty good rainfall amounts. Not crazy off the charter, but it could be intense for a while and also very windy. 50s to 60s for some. Cooler temps to the north bay, some low 50s up north from santa rosa northward. Cloudy, mostly cloudy skies, some light rain developing later. Tomorrow kind of a breezy but warm day as this whole system lifts northward. Then it moves through thursday. Thursday night and into early friday, then here comes the cold air out of the northwest, and ill tell you, you are going to feel it by the weekend. I feel it now. Just you wait. Youre going to text me and say, oh, my gosh its cold. Oh, gosh, all right. Im going to say really . I told you. I told you. Its coming. Thank you, steve. Your welcome. 5 20 is the time right now. Inappropriate photos of students being shared online. Ul of them inappropriate, some sexual in nature, unfortunately. Coming up in 25 minutes, the monthlong investigation that uncovered a scandal at a bay area high school. Plus a teenager accused of a vicious beeght in lodi. Up next, how a new law passed in november could help her face a reduced punishment. Welcome back to mornings on 2. Its 5 23. And another suspect has been arrested in an alleged hate crime killing in sobrante. Ray sims was arrested over the weekend after a domestic dispute in monterey county. Now, another suspect, Daniel Porter kelly was arrested last month. Investigators say those men and a third suspect killed william sims outside the capri club on november 12th. Investigators said simons pulled the trigger and that sims was targeted because of his race. Sims family was in court yesterday at a preliminary hearing for Daniel Porter kelly was incontinued. It was a chal for them to make the decision that they wantd to come out, that they wanted it was a challenge for them to make the decision that they wanted to come out and hear the dirty details. But its important. They want to know what happened to their son, they want to know why it happened. The third suspect, Daniel Ortega remains at large. In lodi, lawyers for a teenaged of beating a 22year old woman are now challenging her case because of a newly passed state law. Investigators say 17yearold dellshay rios beat jacquelin picket with a baseball bat at a dog park earlier this year. The two did not know each other. Picket suffered critically injuries, had to undergo brain surgery. Rios is charged as an adult before voters passed proposition 57 last month. The law is meant to help rehabilitate juvenile offenders. Rios attorney now say because of the new law she should be recharged as a juvenile, but the victims mother and the district attorneys say thats not right. We are concerned that she could be released very early and we have someone who stated they wanted to kill someone. They wanted to know what it felt like to kill someone. The problem is ms. Rios was already charged, so we have her in adult court. The public defender is saying because of the law we have to start over again. Some legal experts also say the new law is flawed because it has no language saying whether or not it can be applied retro actively. Congress passed legislation to help restore lake tahoes Crystal Clear water. The bill includes 415 million for lake tahoe over the next seven years. The money is for projects that include new trails and creek restoration and the control of pollution, wildfires and invasive species. Supporters were concerned that president elect trump might not sign the bill, but it is now headed for president obamas desk. Its now 5 26. And today we could get more answers about what started oaklands deadly ghost ship fire. Up next the cause that investigators are now zeroing in on reporter and this will be a very important day in the effort to try to keep the Oakland Raiders here in the obamacare and prevent a move to las vegas in the bay area and prevent a move to las vegas. Well talk about the critical vote happening later today by the county supervisors and the city council here in oakland. Taking a look at that east bay commute, highway 4 not a bad one here. As you can see its getting more crowded, though, on the way over to concord.

Well, thank you for joining us. Welcome to mornings on 2. It is tuesday, it is december 13th. Im dave clark. Good morning, im pam cook. Its 5 30. Lets check in with steve. Any rain today .

Ill show this next. Somebody said my calendar says the full moon is the 14th. Are you sure its today the 13th . Well, it depends on what part of the globe youre on. If youre in europe or asia its the 14th, if youre in San Francisco like most of us are, then its today at 4 05 p. M. So there you go. Im just waiting to hear if theres any sound effects. I guess not. Probably a good idea that we dont. Thank you, kevin pender for that. That was nice. We do have the cloud cover, some of that cloud cover starting to work its way in. The deeper moisture, if you will, is already to the west. It wont be here until later today. Winter storm watch, not a weather advisory, a winter storm watch is already posted for thursday for the tahoe, truckee area, sierra, northeast california, two days in advance. That tells you how serious the Weather Service is in reno and also sacramento. 40s and 50s on your temps. 40s for some, 43 lafayette, its close for others, black hawk is in there as well, pleasanton at 47. A lot of cloud cover today, maim some breaks here in the morning, but then this moisture will continue to thicken up leading to some light rain later. The main system is on tap for thursday, wind and rain. 50s to near 60 on the temps today. 5 32. And reporter we do have a couple of things that popped up, steve. Good morning to you. Lets go out and take a look at the commute on Solano County freeways here. There are no major problems as you drive on the freeway, but you can see traffic is already busy. And if youre driving over to vallejo, you can see some slow traffic here on 80 westbound approaching 780. Were also looking at going to san jose, theres a new accident northbound 101 right near 13th, old oakland road, and traffic is coming to a stop here on northbound 101. You can see how slow it is. This new crash is reported to be blocking lanes, so please give yourself extra time as you drive through. Also want to take a look at the toll plaza. That has filled in. The metering lights have been turned on and now theres a 10 to 15minute delay at the toll plaza. At 5 33, lets go back to the desk. Thank you, sal. We may find out as soon as today what may have caused the deadly warehouse fire. The bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives will hold a news briefing with local officials at 11 00 this morning. Investigators are said to be focusing on overloaded electrical lines in the rear of the building as the cause of the fire. 36 people attending a dance party and concert were killed in that fire on december 2nd. A vigil was held last night in front of the warehouse to more than those killed in the fire and to help First Responders cope with such a traumatic incident. The vigil featured a procession led by the American Red Cross and Alameda CountySheriffs Office and involved members of both the oakland fire and Police Department. They made the short but solemn walk from the fire house 13 to the goship warehouse. We just need to heal and start to come together and figure out how best we can move on as a community. They found another body, and they found another victim, and that to me was the part that just shocked me. A fire bell rang 36 times for the 36 lives lost in that fire. Investigators say the vigil also gave First Responders time to reflect on the tragedy. They had to work nonstop when that fire first broke out. Well, in the meantime, the u. S. Senate passed a resolution honoring the victims of the oakland warehouse fire. Yesterday senator Dianne Feinstein said, quote, the American People stand with oakland as the city mourns the victims of the horrific warehouse fire. The resolution honors their memory and recognizes the heroic efforts of our First Responders to save lives and heal the community. On our channel 2 website, ktvu. Com, youll find much more on the deadly oakland warehouse fire, including the latest on the investigation, plus youll see tributes to all of the victims. You can find it near the top of our home page. Well, today is also a very important day in the fight to keep the raiders in oakland. Yeah. The Oakland City Council and the Alameda County board of supervisors are expected to vote on a new stadium deal. Ktvus alex satisfy ij is live in oakland savage is alex savage is live in oakland with the plan that will hopefully relief the raiders from moving to las vegas. Alex. Reporter yeah, a lot of optimism today. Pam, dave, good morning to you. This latest deal here is backed by ronnie lotts Investment Group and it could pave the way for a new raiders stadium right here in oakland and stop that move to las vegas, that potential move to las vegas. City and county leaders, though, they need to approve this deal, and it starts in just a few hours when the board of supervisors meets here at the Administration Building later this morning, and they will be voting on this 1. 3 billion stadium proposal. Then later tonight the Oakland City Council will be voting on this same stadium term sheet at its meeting. Now, this proposal is a joint effort that was put forth by the city of oakland, the county and the fortress Investment Group which is led by hall of famer ronnie lott. Lotts Investment Group has proposed paying all of the Construction Costs for a stadium which would be at the current coliseum site. The city would invest about 200 million in infrastructure bonds. Raiders fans are hoping this is the deal that will prevent the raiders from moving to las vegas where a 1. 9 billion stadium project has already been approved. So the healthy choice for the nfl and the Oakland Raiders is oakland because, number one, its already established here. Number two, we have the sixth largest media market in the united states. So what people need to realize is money isnt made through casinos for the nfl, money is made through tv. Reporter and the proposed oakland stadium would see about 55,000 people and take up to three years to build. There would also be retail, hotel and possible Housing Developments on the site as part of this deal. Now, city officials, of course, have been concerned about risking public money. Remember that bonds from previous coliseum renovations are still being paid off. But under this deal there would only be about 200 million in public money going toward that new stadium. The supervisors are planning to vote on this stadium plan, try to keep the raiders here in oakland, you know, one of the last ditch efforts, really, that meeting is going to happen at 11 00 this morning, and then the City Council Meeting happens at 6 30 tonight. You guys can expect there will be a huge turnout from the silver and black at both of those meetings. Yeah, i would imagine, definitely. Thank you, alex. Well, there is a difficult repair job in the works along the coast of san mateo county. Youll remember yesterday we told you about that giant sinkhole, we showed you that opened up in pacifica. Well, it swallowed part of the path and stairway that leads to the public beach below esplinad avenue. Two apartments were declared unsafe and demolished last spring. The building at 310 esplinad was declared unliveable and condemned because it was so close to the crumbling cliff. The city of pacifica says the path to the beach is on private property, so the land owner has to take responsibility. He says he already is taking steps to shore it up and that the work could be finished early next week or possibly sooner, depending on the weather. What were going to do right now is plug that area, fill it up with some concrete pumping, and then just do whatever needs to be done after that. The city also says it has received reports of new bluff erosion at 310 esplinad avenue and has contacted an expert to take a look at make recommendations. Many neighbors say they expect that will mean the condemned Apartment Building is likely to be demolished soon. Time 5 39. San jose Police Want Help to track down a man caught on camera attacking and robbing a disabled man. Now, detectives want you to get a really good look at this Surveillance Video showing the suspect knocking down the victim with his bike, and then he speeds away, and then moments later the bicyclist comes back. It looks like hes concerned about the victim, but then he steals the mans cell phone and knocked him onto the ground again. Police say the victim has a serious speech disability. This guy takes it to another level by preying on someone thats disabled. If hes capable of doing this to someone with a disability, what is he capable of doing to someone else . Now, this attack occurred in Early September near san joses coyote creek trail. Police have released a sketch of the suspect, describing him as an africanamerican man between 16 and 25 years old. He was riding a red mountain bike. The vallejo Police Department may install new Surveillance System after someone fired shots at one of its busiest fire houses. We told but this yesterday. A bullet piercing a window at station 24 in the springstown neighborhood. No one was hurt. Firefighters say it was probably just a random shot. That bullet ended up caught in a box of medical gloves in a storage area. But the crews say thats the same room where they sit and write reports. This is where were supposed to be safe at. We expect there to be danger when were on the side of a freeway or at a structure fire, but not at your own home. Firefighters say their fire station and others in vallejo have also been broken into while they were out on calls fighting fires. They come home to find some of their personal items stolen from bags and lockers. The library next door to station 24 has a security camera, so now investigators are checking to see if that shows anything that may help them find who fired that shot that hit the fire station. A peninsula landlord is due back in court today, accused of vandalizing cars belonging to his own tenants. People at the stanford garden apartment complex say the landlord was trying to force them to move out of their rent controlled apartments so he could raise the rents. 74yearold mat salehi was arrested and charged with vandalism after three tenants came forward to say that he had damaged their cars earlier this year. His son was also accused of a misdemeanor, trying to prevent one person from talking with police. Smoam county is threatening its largest garbage collector with fines up to 500 a day for the use of unpermitted recycling facilities. According to the press democrat, county regulators issued a cease and de sist order by north bay corp for two of its recycling facilities over a year ago. Since then north bay shut down one of its facilities which is plans to renovate. The work is expected to take up to four months, but the company says despite the cease and desist order, they cannot shut down the other facility during the renovation because it will have no where to take its recycling.

Mostly cloudy this morning, then cloudy later. Looks like some rain is on the way, but the main system is thursday. Highs today 50s to near 60. Time now 5 45. Welcome back to mornings on 2. A fourmonth investigation at a Bay Area School has uncovered a scandal with students sharing inappropriate pictures of their classmates. Ktvus ann rubin reports these photos are being circulated without consent. Reporter a monthlong Police Investigation at Mountainview High School is now nearly complete, though many teachers, parents and students never knew it was happening. Authorities say it began in august when the district learned students were sharing inappropriate photos through a drop box account. There were several photos that were shared, all of them inappropriate, some sexual in nature, unfortunately. Reporter according to Mountain View police, there are two victims, both minors, and the photos may have been shared amongst students at several high schools this is a criminal investigation, and we are absolutely looking at pursuing charges against a handful of individuals. Reporter those suspects, the victims and their families were all offered Counseling Services by police. However, the Mountain View las altos School District did not alert teachers and parents, saying this were asked, to, quote, maintain confidential to make sure no efforts were compromised. Im surprised to hear about it because i didnt know it was going on. Reporter today the district sent a letter to parents in response to media accounts. Some parents wished they knew sooner. Tweas very concerning, but its something that perhaps the School Administrators could use to help the kids understand why you dont do these things. Parents should know and kids should know, they should know what the consequences are to doing that kind of thing and they need to be reminded that thats not okay to do. Reporter police say the consequences in this case are very real, and they hope this is a reminder to others always use caution online. Just a reminder that social media is social, theres nothing private about it. You should really think before you post something. We have a rule here if your grandmother cant see it, you probably shouldnt post it. Reporter the case will now go to the District Attorneys Office and charges are likely by the end of the year. In Mountain View, ann rubin, ktvu fox 2 news. Well, california is topping a new study when it comes to the worst state for drivers. The bancrate. Com study considered six things, klug the cost of gas, insurance, car theft and autorelated deaths. The study shows california had the highest auto theft rate with about 440 cars stolen for every 100,000 residents. It also shows californias average commute was about 26 minutes when it comes to the best state for drivers iowa took the number one spot. So why are you looking at me when you read that story . Why would i look at you . Because im a bad driver, thats why. No. Youre a good driver. But, sal, no offense to everybody, but i would rather live in california than iowa, even with theres fewer people there, right . So of course its going to be less crowded and everything. Reporter you also have a little bias there, pam. I do. Reporter you and i were born in california. What are you gonna do . Nothing personal. We think its the best. Reporter we do think its the best. Good morning, everyone. Lets go out and take a look at what you have now. Traffic is going to be busy if you driving on thalitymont pass. There are altamont pass. There are no major problems as you drive through here, but it is going to be very slow as you drive on 580 to the altamont pass. Also looking now if you are driving on 101 northbound, theyre clearing an accident northbound 101 in san jose near old oakland road, and that has traffic slow. A good alternate for you would be to use 280 or 85 instead of 101 for the time being. Those other freeways i mentioned, 85 and 280 are doing much better than 101. I wouldnt use it unless you know, unless you have to go to one of those exits very close by. But if you can take an alternate, that would be your best bet. And if youre driving to the bay bridge toll plaza, it is backed up for a 20minute delay before you make it onto the span. At 5 49, hello, steve. Sal, good friend of mine, dirk, is from iowa. I think hes writing pam right now. Reporter okay. Sorry, dirk. Hes a hostile hawkeye this morning. Thank you. We have a of cloud cover over us, some areas of fog as well, but were waiting for this system to kind of juice things up a little bit. So under mostly cloudy skies, temperatures are mainly in the 40s. There are some 30s up north, mendocino county, lake county. Cloud cover continues to roll in, but you can see right here the whiter tops. Focus, i know its early, but thats what were waiting for and that will start to roll in late morning, early afternoon that. Will lead to some light rain, especially north San Francisco. But i think everybody might get in on some of that. The farther north you go, the better opportunity. A winter storm watch is already posted for thursday, not for today, but for thursday into friday in advance of a stronger system which will arrive here on thursday as well. That one will have more in the way of wind and rain. Again, snowfall will be measured in feet. The key, though, is going to be the snow level will go from 5,000 to 7,000, to maybe about 2,500 by sunday morning. 40s, 50s on the temps, some 30s on the north. On the peninsula upper 40s for some. 48 atlas altos, stanford in there. 49 san mateo. Pacifica at 40. 30 up in truckee, 39 in ukiah, kelseyville, parts of lake county in there. The heaviest moisture is coming up from the west southwest. No doubt about it, if youre watching us on the north coast, you will get more rain than everybody else. Ukiah north looks to be the greatest opportunity. There are some opportunities on the east bay and south bay, but not a lot. The heavier amounts are to the north. A stronger system is going to lift everything northward. You can see where the bulls eye as we head into wednesday and thursday. Then is starts to roll in. This will be a better system for san jose which really missed out on the last one. That was more of a zonal pattern, west to east. Santa cruz mountains took all the rain in that pattern. This is more what we call north to south. Thats a better opportunity for san jose and other areas, santa clara that did not get a lot of rain, blossom hill as we head towards thursday night and friday. After that its all cold air. It looks like its going to be very cold into the weekend. 50s on the temps to near 60 degrees. So cloudy today to mostly cloudy. Some breaks here in the morning. Highs will be 50s to 60s, and then tomorrow breezy and warm. I think that system lifts northward and we get a pretty good southeast wind and then it looks like rain and wind on thursday, itll carry into friday morning. And then im just telling you, bundle up as we head through the weekend. Itll be dry, but not very warm. Steve, it has nothing to do with the weather. I brought in persimmons for pam to make persimmon, the best ive ever had in my life. Theyre very sweet. I can taste the difference. I can publicly say pam cook is the best. I love to bake, and i love to bring it in. Im going to bring in a whole batch here because i certainly dont want a bunch of baked goods in my house. I promise. Its that time of year. Yeah. Pomegranates and persimmons. Love it. Time now 5 52. Another step 234 re establishing relations with cuba. Up next the deal signed by google to speed up access to its internet services. Welcome back to mornings on 2. Its 5 55. Google will soon be able to provide Faster Internet Service to cubans. Google chairman eric schmidt signed a deal yesterday with the cuban state Telecom Provider in nevada. Now, this will allow google to install servers in cuba that will restore most of the companys most popular content. But the deal doesnt expand the number of cubans who have access to the internet. Some analysts say only about 5 of cubas 11 million citizens actually have access to the internet. Back here at home, the police chief of union city just held a promising meeting with a potential new recruit for his Police Department. And hes only 8 years old. Here he is. This is third grader demetrius davis, already dreaming of becoming a Police Officer when he grows up. So police chief Darrell Mcallister decided to invite him to the Police Headquarters and swear him in as his Deputy Police chief. When i was a little kid, i just loved policing. I always dreamed about it. I like to help people when theyre hurt. Theyre always there. Not everybody wants to be a Police Officer, not even all kids want to be a Police Officer, but those interactions, we never know, we just never know how lasting an effect they might have. Yeah. The police chief says hes also confident demetrius here will one day help Police Officers connect with the community they serve. Well, chubby babies appear to be on the decline and doctors say that is a hopeful sign in the fight against childhood obesity. Researchers at bostons Childrens Hospital released a report today after studying American Children two years and younger. They found the rate of kids at risk for obesity have dropped sharply in the past few years. The decline is believed to be the result of better nutrition and an increasing number of moms who are breastfeeding. Were still following breaking news this morning from san jose.
