Mario woods died and some are even calling for the police chief to step down. Are you prepared to resign . No. Reporter this was the scene on friday night and emotions were running high when the police chief hosted a town hall meeting to talk about the case, 300 people on hand and many in the crowd say the killing is a clear example of Excessive Force by Police Officers and they dont believe deadly force was necessary. The shooting was captured by several cell phone videos. Police say woods was shot by five officers because he refused to drop the knife that he was holding.

We werent able to enhance the last second of the video thats been on youtube and there does appear, if you slow it down by pictures, an extension of the arm by the suspect toward the officer.

And the chief has rejected calls for his resignation, saying hes going to continue to work with the community as this case continues to unfold.

We didnt see a lot of surfers out there this morning. Surfers who do come out here cant see where the waves are breaking until they paddle out. We found one surfer who told us on a day like this, it can take up to 45 minutes just to paddle out where the waves are. Its been a little hard to predict. The reports havent been super accurate, so its been fluctuating a bit. But its been big and really clean.

The safety and security of our employees are foremost in our mind. As we move forward this next week, youll see increased security at all our facilities, reassuring you well continue to provide services as needed. That will not slow us down. Today as we open back up, i think well all know the challenges but were here for the employees, here for our directors and here for the Public Safety. If we take a minute and look at San Bernardino countys Public Safety and reaction, they have provided over 60 of the services from the Sheriffs Department under john mcmahan. The efforts were seemless and immediate but its tragic in the end, what weve lost. Understanding our Environmental Health will be forever impacted and changed with the numbers.

You can see the traffic is going to be busy with fog and looking at this picture, the planes coming in over the san mateo bridge. We are expecting delays after 9 00 when the planes may start stacking up because of low clouds and fog. We usually see delays and you should check with your carrier before you make it to the airport. To the bay bridge toll plaza, thats backed up for a 20, 25 minute delay. Its not been affected by too many crashes but we see slowing in the car pool lane, which is concerning. I dont see anything right now. Maybe i missed something on the span. Looking at the east bay, the commute has been heavy from 680 and 880 slow through 288. 24 and 280 are going to be slow as well because of earlier accident. Its kind of a tough commute out there. Its tough out there with a lot of fog. Temperatures and dew points are so close, the fog came together pretty fast. And the rainfall was about all north bay.

We have so much moisture in there today but we have the rain in on thursday, moderate to heavy. This could be the first real good system in a long time, everyone down to the santa cruz mountains.

A key vote on new controversial rules for cyclists in San Francisco and why the mayor says hell veto the measure if its approved. And president obama lays out a plan to fight isis. We have reaction from both sides, coming up. Looking at the south bay commute, northbound 87 looking good. Not a bad commute in downtown san jose. A near collision between a drone and helicopter in the area is raising concerns. What we can do and must do is make it harder for them to kill. A Rare Oval Office speech from president obama and how critics are responding. Good morning and welcome this december 7th. Lets check weather and traffic, the fog impacting both of those. Absolutely. Its kind of misty and some of that fog really thickened up in the last hour. Theres plenty of cloud cover streaming over and its a cloudy morning. Rain continues on the north coast but for us, temperatures in the 50s. Look at that. Mid50s compared to 20s and 30s about a week ago. Sun breaks, youll notice the humidity in the air. All signs are pointing to a pretty good system for us thursday, Late Wednesday into thursday, some heavy rain could make it on the north coast. Thats three days away. 60s on your temps, mid to upper 60s. You know, im not sure if this video is in yet its not there. Okay. Well, we have a lot of slow traffic and we have a video i want to show you a little later on. First lets go to northbound 101, we had a crash and reports of a truck that may have lost its load northbound 101, still getting reports on that and trying to figure out where it is. But youre going to see slow traffic on 101 northbound all the way back from southern san jose getting into the valley. Its been a slow morning this morning in the south bay. To the east bay, this is the bay bridge toll plaza. Traffic is here backed up, about a 25 minute delay. Its been a rough one, not only here but on 24, 80 and 680. Its been very slow so allow extra time. Lets go back to the desk. New this morning, thousands of county employees in San Bernardino going back to work today, five days after a county restaurant inspector and his wife killed 14 of his coworkers. The reopening signals an effort to return to normal for a community thats been in shock and mourning since the killings last wednesday. Following the attack, all county offices were shut down except essential services. The county supervisors spoke at a News Conference about half an hour ago, trying to reassure employees who may be nervous about their safety. There is much to be done in the coming days and weeks. And our focus today is supporting the victims and their families, doing all that we can to ensure the safety of our employees. While most county workers are returning today, the Environmental Health Services Division where the shooting took place will be off for at least another week. And the interior minister in pakistan says hes launched his own investigation. The female shooter was born in pakistan before moving to the u. S. Last year and marrying her husband. Critics say the president isnt doing enough to address recent attacks in paris and San Bernardino. President obama addressed the nation last night from the oval office. Brian flores has why some say the president didnt calm fears. The president spoke to the country last night, laid out a plan to defeating isis. Part of the plan is continuing Strategic Air strikes on isis targets in the middle east. He says the u. S. Will continue to work with allies on stopping isis interests and also working on intelligence sharing. And he also says hes working on a possible cease fire and political resolution to the syrian war, and laid out to americans what we should not do, including a push for gun control measures and asking congress to pass legislation that bans people on the no flier list from obtaining assault weapons. Many say the speech didnt divulge anything new. We need to make it harder to buy high powered assault rifles like the ones used in the attack. Law enforcement agencies no matter how effective they are, cannot identify every wouldbe shooter. If we want to deal with the refugee problem, create safety inside of syria. Close to 300,000 people have been murdered either by isis or assad. The president also called for muslim communities to speak out against extreme ideologies from groups like isis and recognized the attacks entered a new phase. He called on many Tech Companies to work with Law Enforcement to pinpoint suspected terrorists. The debate continues. Thank you. The San Bernardino shooting caused concern for many communities with large numbers of muslim residents. In fremont, organizers had a vigil last night to stand for the victims and honor First Responders and promote peace. They say its important to acknowledge what happened and not to give up or feel hopeless event in the face of senseless violence. Its for peace as well as call for action, that enough is enough. We need to do something, stand up as community leaders, get the community together. They say leaders will challenge politicians to do more, saying even small steps can lead to larger ones. The faa expects a lot of drones to be under trees this holiday season. And thats causing big concerns about safety up in the skies. There was a near collision between a drone and helicopter over the weekend . Reporter a lot of people see drones as toys and the faa is predicting a million drones are going to be given as Christmas Gifts this season. Thats just and extra thing, like a drone for a pilot here at the san jose airport to have to worry about. The latest incident was an International Student from china who lives at this home in martinez and was flying a drone that cost about 1,000 on saturday. It can go as high as 4500 feet, which puts it in the path of an aircraft. Authorities say he was flying it too high and let it get out of sight. It came within 30 feet of that chp helicopter and the pilot had to quickly bank the helicopter hard to avoid colliding with it. We talked to a local pilot over the phone this morning who told us the faa needs to be more proactive when it comes to making stricter regulations. I think were waiting for the first bad thing to happen and then the faa will spring into action. I dont think theyre going to go to manufacturers of drones and say, we have to do something so heres some basic deadlines of what you can and cant do. I dont think theyre going to put their toe in the water till something bad happens. Reporter that helicopter was going over 100 miles an hour and the drone could have gone through the windshield or into the rotors bringing it down. The host family says that student didnt mean any harm and he was not arrested but he could be cited depending on the investigation. Right now on the faa website, theres a page with guidelines for people flying them, but who knows how many people are reading that and getting to know those guidelines. Thank you. Time now 8 09.

Much of what took place last wednesday on that street was captured by witnesses on cell phone videos. There were several of them.

Reporter things got heated this past friday night in a town hall meeting about the case. Nearly 300 people were on hand and many in the crowd made it clear that they believe this killing shows Excessive Force by San Francisco police, although the chief is standing by his officers in this case and believes they were justified.

Theres a lot of activity out there today. Some major waves coming on shore this morning. We have only seen one surfer go out today. Part of the reason is those foggy conditions that could make it tough to come out and they cant see where if waves are breaking. We found one surfer and he said there was too much water coming in at once to make for a good day. Just a lot of water coming through in the sides. I think if the tide goes out, it will probably clean up. Its kind of day by day. Its got the size but its not very clean. Reporter we did check the surf report thats predicting waves today between 8 and 12 feet. They are predicting big waves also on thursday, up to 14 to 22 feet. This is not a time for amateurs or anyone whos not comfortable with the water to get too close. There will be rip tides out there and high waves and a lot of churning out there.

Doctors say you may not have a cold. You could be allergic to your tree. Now were talking about real and fake trees. I spoke with a doctor momentsing a and he said both fake and real can cause cold like problems and even severe allergic reactions. More than a third of u. S. Households will set up a tree this year, so real or fake . Doctors in American Family care says real trees are the biggest culprits for trigging severe allergic reactions. It could take a couple weeks and they suggest wearing gloves and long sleeves when you pick up the tree. You can also spray the tree with water before bringing it inside. If the reaction is severe, avoid the real or live Christmas Trees altogether. But fake trees come with their own warning. The main problem is they are stored in the basement and shed, and theyre going to collect pollen and dust over the years. Use a blower to get rid of all the allergens before you put that up. And make sure the tree is as cleaned off as possible and try to find out what materials were used before buying a tree, particle if you have allergies. Some metals and chemicals added to make the plastic pliable, could cause a problem. And these are made in china. The regulations are different for the manufacturing and materials used. Its hard to tell but it could be the tree. What does it say about the Christmas Tree workers who work around it all day . Certainly if they have allergies, they probably notice it. Its still getting into your nose. Thank you. Lets check traffic. Sal .

You can see the slow traffic coming up in oakland, 880 north and southbound continuing to be slow in the area. So give yourself plenty of extra time. Also looking at the bay bridge toll plaza, still slow traffic there. Not bad on the peninsula. If youre waiting for someone or taking a flight, call your carrier and see if theyre late or not.
