Transcripts For KTVU KTVU Mornings On 2 At 7am 20170719

A little patchy fog. The north wind helped chew up the fog on the marin and sonoma coast. If that takes the turn on shore, it comes flying into parts of the san mateo, san jose coast. Sf buoy is 51. That is very cold. Not much of a delta breeze. It was double that yesterday. That leads me to believe it will be a little warmer for some north and east. Just daytoday changes here. So 80s, near seasonal averages for many. Slightly lower for some closer to the coast. 7 01. Sal, you had a couple of things. South bay. Yeah. Were going to start with breaking news why San Francisco. One of our Traffic Cameras has picked up a fire in the vicinity of 7th near townsend. We can see it with one of our cameras here. In fact, the traffic is going to be if we pull back, you can see that it is going to be smoke rising. Now, the Fire Department is on the scene. And just to give you a perspective as to where this is, this over here, this is highway 101. Over here is 280. So there is 101 and 280. So this smoke is coming up from about 7th and townsend. The Fire Department too busy to talk to us right now. We see the smoke coming up. We will let you know more. The smoke has dissipated. It is white smoke. We will keep you posted on what is going on. This is a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. Traffic is going to be okay if you are driving into San Francisco. It is a typical delay of about 25 to 30 minutes. Nothing oust the ordinary. There is a daytime baseball game today. Remember that. That will affect traffic. This is a look at 880 northbound and southbound in front of the coliseum. The traffic looks good. 101 has been a mess because of earlier issues. Northbound near 280, 280 traffic is taking a beating. People are hearing about this and using 280 in the area. 85 is also slow because of an accident. The two accidents have made it slow. If you are a south bay driver, you need extra time. Lets move straight to a developing story in marin county where the search will resume for a missing boater. Alex savidge is in the bay where that 70yearold man, alex, hasnt been seen since yesterday afternoon. Reporter yeah. Gasia, good morning to you. The man is not being identified by authorities but he is an employee of the well known tomalis Bay Oyster Company here in western marin county. He went out on the waters of the bay yesterday and he has not been seen since. A search was launched at 3 00 in the afternoon yesterday when boaters from another Oyster Company, the hog island Oyster Company spotted the missing mans motor boat. It was out on the water empty and going in circles. The marin county Fire Department and Sheriffs Department is working alongside the coast guard and the highway patrol. Theyre using boats, jet skis and helicopters to try to find the man. Authorities say he was not wearing a life jacket when he went into the fairly shallow waters of the bay. Anywhere from ten to 15 feet deep. He was reported to be wearing some type of waders, boots that could pull him under the water that could hip der our search. He could be submerged. We have a dive Team Available if he becomes a submerged victim. Reporter now, the 70year old man is said to be a strong swimmer. And authorities still at this point are calling this a rescue operation. Now, it was fairly windy out on the waters last night as the search got underway. And that created choppy conditions and made things tough for the search crews. The conditions this morning, fairly calm. But the water temperature is cold and obviously authorities want to try to find the man as soon as they possibly can. And, again, the search is set to resume, gasia at some point later on this morning. Theyre supposed to be back out on the water with boats, jet skis and potentially searching from the air with a helicopter. Is the assumption that he was out on the water in the course of his work at the Oyster Company . That is the assumption. I dont have any direct information. We havent been able to reach authorities this morning to get an update on the search. Thats the assumption. This is a company boat and he was out on the water working at the time that this happened. Obviously we had the people from the neighboring Oyster Company who spotted this boat, spotted a person who they knew from a company that they knew. And presumably he was out there during the course of his work and then somehow went into the water and remains missing this morning. Okay. Hoping for the best here, alex. Thank you. The time is now 7 05. Were talking about wildfires. A lot to talk about. The latest on the out of control wildfire southwest of the Yosemite National park. It started sunday afternoon in mariposa. It has burned 25,000 acres. It is only 5 contained. 8 buildings have been destroyed. 1500 homes are in danger. Governor brown declared a state of emergency for mariposa county. Things will get worse before it gets better says the firefighters. The National Weather service predicts it will be hot and dry there today. Temperatures in the low 90s. Humidity only 20 . But the wind is an even bigger concern. Scary situation. Pray for the residents of mariposa. Essentially the south side of the fire if you look at a map of it is where theyre expecting it to grow. Now, a part of highway 49 is closed this morning. That fire is also threatening power lines that supply electricity to yosemite and some of the people inside of the park are saying on social media that they dont have power right now. Well, a controversial fire fee will be suspended under californias new cap and trade deal. Homeowners in rural areas have been paying a fee for the past five years to help offset the rising cost of fighting wildfires. A lot of them have been fighting the fees for years, saying theyre unfairly taxed twice. One man is suing cal fire saying he wants the money to be returned to homeowners. We pay taxes to our local fire districts. Sooner or later there has to be a place where you draw the line. The tax was redundant and was passed illegally. The governor doesnt give anything away. Now, removing those fees will save homeowners more than 100 a year. The deal to remove the fees expires in 2030. Barts new police chief is taking a number of steps to protect riders from crime. Police chief carl rojas outlined the plan during the board of directors meeting yesterday. He wants to offer bonuses to new officers to fill 40 vacancies. A new crime report from bart shows Violent Crime is up 41 this year compared to this time last year. Also a growing debate on how much information about crime bart should release to the public. A victim of a mob style attack says that the Surveillance Video should be released. The individual whos assaulted us and robbed us, there were multiple repeat offenders. The police knew who the individuals were. Bart says it doesnt plan to release the video out of concern that it could interfere with prosecutions. If you ride bart, you might get see the fleet of the future later this morning. They will be tested during Business Hours with bart employees on board. Theyre in the process of replacing almost 700 train cars. The time is 7 09. Animal control officers in San Francisco are on patrol after a coyote jumped out of the dark and snatched a little dog off a front porch. It happened sunday about 4 00 a. M. In the Balboa Terrace neighborhood. A couple had taken their new pickupy and 13yearold dog bella out for a bathroom break. But before they could get back inside, the coyote grabbed bella and took off. They found the dogs bod knee an alley near the home. An officer with animal control says there have been more coyotes attacks. Experts remind you pet owners to keep cats and dogs inside. Keep dogs on a leash. If youre approached about a coyote, you possibly could scare them off by waving your arms, making loud and threatening noises. For the second time in a year, a steel worker has been injured at the facebook new site in menlo park. Investigators say a worker fell 10 to 15 feet from a steel approximate frame on the fourth floor. He suffered cuts, bruises and was in pain but his safety harness stopped him from hitting the third floor and likely saved his life. Back in april, two workers were injured at the construction site. They fell 40 feet from the building steel frame. At this point cal osha is investigating both incidents. The time is 7 10. There was an Early Morning fire in an apartment complex in walnut creek. The problem that that building that has one neighbor thinking this may be suspicious. And o. J. Simpson goes before a parole board tomorrow. Why a prosecutor think thats he will walk free after spending nine years in prison on robbery charges. We have a south bay commute not doing very well. A lot of people are on 280 avoiding the other freeways. We will tell what you is happening on 101 that makes it so slow. Well, for some it is already sunny. For others, pretty good fog bank. Patchy up in napa county. It looks like it will be warmer inform some today. He has done nine years on a robbery charge. He will be he is 70 years old now. Probably a low risk to rio fend or at least a low risk to commit eye Violent Crime. So i suspect that they will probably grant him parole. If simpsons parole is denied, it could take another three years to appear before the board before. He believes simpson has serves enough time in prison and should be paroled. Ken wayne will be attending the hearing tomorrow. We will bring you complete coverage on ktvu mornings on 2 tomorrow morning and a special live coverage report of the parole hearing itself beginning at 10 00. This moves us to the question of the day. Do you think that o. J. Simpson should be paroled tomorrow . Yes or no . Let us know what you think by voting on our ktvu twitter page or ktvu. Com.

They plan to finish it by june of 2020. The time is 7 15. A number of traffic problems popping up today, sal. When you said there could be problems for people going to oakland airport, my ears perked. Thats right. This morning, gasia, we had a problem on 880 south getting out of downtown oakland, heading down to the airport. Were also looking at the commute heading west on the east shore freeway into oakland. And the commute is getting a little better. The crash at 23rd has been removed. But were still watching the freeway. Looking from oakland to San Francisco, it is crowded there as well. And here is the nimitz freeway heading down to the oakland airport. This is the exit nearby. There is congestion. I would still recommend eastbound 580 instead of 880 south for the time being until all of the traffic dissipates even though the lanes are open. South bay commute has been filled in. An accident on 85 and 101. 280 hasnt had any major crashes. It is very slow through downtown san jose. A lot of people are using 280. It looks like we may have lost the picture. Im going to go back to the map. 280 northbound will be slow driving up from 101 all the way up to 17. It gets better after 17 into the valley. 7 17. Lets go to steve. Sal, either sunshine or fog out there for some this morning. And with temperatures a little cool. Especially if youre in the fog free area. A lot of 40s, especially in the north and the santa cruz mountains. Some of that fog seems to be retreating. Hints of a northerly breeze in which case we would warm up compared to yesterday when we had the cooldown. The eastern pacific tropics are active except on the south facing beaches. No impact here us here as theyre heading out to sea. Tracking north of the Hawaiian Islands for now. That will be over the weekend. It is weakening. It is weakening. That is good news.

Coming back to palm springs and parts of the desert and even oceanside. There is a good line there, training as we say, north of san diego and south of l. A. A pretty active pattern. For us, some fog or clear. Theres a north wind coming down the marin coast. But it turns on shore for the san mateo coast. Water temps are very cold. The north wind gives the upwelling. The San Francisco buoy 51. Cold here. 49 up in santa rosa. 50s for most. But a few 40s here. Lafayette, 51. Blackhawk a cool 51. Martinez, 52. The lows cooled off. Only well, it was 15 out of travis. Yesterday it was up to 30. 54 down in monterey. Because of the cloud cover, 86 nice degrees in phoenix. A lot of that looks like it will stay there for now. Were not anticipating that coming up here. Some of the fog retreats sooner. A fight from the low to the north each day and a high in the Desert Southwest much yesterday was the cooldown. Today will be a little warmer. Along the coast, not much change here. 60s, 70s and a few 80s and 90s. Each day, subtle changes. A little cooler tomorrow and a little warmer friday. Thank you, steve.

This stretch is taking you at least an hour to drive the stretch. When there is no traffic, it takes about 15 minutes. Thats what you have to deal with. People have been on 85. Theyre very slow because of earlier problems. People avoiding the other two freeways were on 280. That is completely slow from 680 all the way to the valley. So wherever youre going, trying to get west into that west valley, it is going to be slow. This is san mateo bridge. We had a stalled vehicle on the span. Also 92, there is a stalled big rig.

Leigh martinez has been out there for a while. I can see the damage over your holder. Reporter yeah. We spoke to one of the woman who lives here. She is on the bottom condo. Her place is completely destroyed. She cant get back inside. This is some of the debris that we found on the side of the condo building. Talking with a construction crew out here earlier, they said they had to board up at least three units. And one neighbor came out and told us she was very shaken about this fire. She says that unfortunately she is not surprised that it happened. Now, you could see the tall flames from the road. Firefighters discovered the fire right after midnight on the second floor units, fully engulfed in flames and spreading to the roof. Some raced outside with pets and belongings. Neighbors say there have been multiple problems at the condos since the tenants moved in last october. And the police have called out here several times. A woman who says she is is in the Neighborhood Association board says the family in the upstairs unit was evicted. Was evicted. Last night, she was supposed to leave. She was supposed to move. And it was the day she was supposed to be out. So i find it very interesting that the house is on fire. She was moving out yesterday. I saw her leave at 9 30 last night. Reporter sue thomas says someone banged on her door last night that the building was on fire. She escaped unharmed but lost her home. I know there are like three gaping holes in my ceiling. My carpets all have stuff. My bed is all damaged with ceiling materials. Everything smells like smoke. I mean, thank god i had neighbors who could give me clothes. I dont know what im going to do right now. Reporter now, the cause of the fire is still under investigation. We did check with Walnut Creek Police. They say they are not investigating. However, we have a couple of calls into Contra Costa County fire as well as the fire marshals office. We have not heard back as to what the status is of the investigation. But it is very sad for those few people who had to be evacuated. We do know that the red cross is helping them out with housing today. Leigh martinez in walnut creek, thank you. The time is now 7 36.

There is no official government record of the meeting or what they talked about. President trump has invited republican senators to the white house to talk about health care after it become obvious there there were not enough votes to pass in the senate. President trump says the Affordable Care act will fail on its own. I think you will also agree that ive been saying for a long time, let obamacare fail and that everybody is going to have to come together and fix it.

So far the officer has refused to give a statement about the shooting but his partner tells investigators that he and the officer were responding to the 911 call reporting a possible assault near her home. She was in her pajamas talking to the officers on the drivers side of the car. There was a loud noise and thats when the officer fired his weapon through the car window, killing the woman. Both officers were wearing body cameras but they were not turned on until after the shooting. There are questions that we have and hope to have answered soon. Why did the soar draw and fire his gun . What happened from the time that the officers arrived on the scene to when she was pronounced dead . Why dont we have footage from body cameras . Why were they not activated . We all want answers to the questions. The officer had been on the force for 21 months and reportedly had three complaints filed against him.

One of the things that we have talked about today at the bay bridge it looks normal. That is to say that it is a 25 to 30minute delay. Gone are the days of summertime light traffic.

Were starting in the richmond area, steve, for people driving into marin. If youre driving in from the Richmond Bridge, there will be slow traffic this morning as you come across. Theres a little bit of slowing at the toll plaza and down around castro street is where it agains to slow. A little bit before that actually. It gets better once you make it on to the span. We have been looking at marin county in general. It gets better by the time that you reach central san rafael. Over on the east shore freeway, 33 minutesenfrom the carquinez bridge and the macarthur maze and the toll plaza.

It continues to slow all the way up to about 29. But the Silicon Valley commute has been slow every single freeway getting up to sunnyvale, cupertino and mountain view. It is slow.

Thank you, sal. We begin with a developing story of a wildfire burning out of control of southwest of the Yosemite National park. It is in mariposa. So far it has burned 25,000 acres and only 5 contained. It has already destroyed eight buildings and threatening 1500 homes. Governor brown has declared a state of emergency for mariposa county. Firefighters say the situation will get worse before it gets better. The National Weather service predicts todays conditions in the area to be hot and dry, with temperatures in the low 90s and humidity at about 20 . But an even larger concern is the wind. This is the first time it has come this far. 20 years ago there was one that made it to bear valley. They stopped it there. The winds are totally different this year and a lot of fuel. A section of highway 49 is closed this morning. This fire is also threatening power lines that supply electricity to yosemite. Some people inside the park say they do not have power on social media. Firefighters hope to contain the eden fire. It has burned about ten acres. A lack of wind has allowed crews to get a handle on this fire. County leaders tell the mercury news says a mistake on the alert system sent out a warning to more people than intended to. Homeowners in rural areas have been paying a fee for the past five years to help offset the rising cost of fighting wildfires. Many have been fighting the fees for years, saying they are being unfairly taxed twice. One man is suing cal fire because he wants the money to be returned to homeowners. We pay tacks to our local fire district. And you know, sooner or later, you have to draw the line. The tax was redundant and was passed illegally. The governor doesnt give anything away. Removing the fees will save homeowners more than 100 a year. Animal control officers in San Francisco are on patrol after a coyote jumped out of the dark and snatched a small dog off the owners porch. It happened in the Balboa Terrace neighborhood.

They later found the dogs body in a alley near the home. There have been more sightings and attacks in the last couple of years. Some worry that nothing would stop a hungry coyote. It is very concerning. We always try to make sure that we keep our doggone leash. But, you know, you just it happens so fast. It probably wouldnt matter what you do. You know, its just it is worrisome. Experts remind pet owners to keep cats inside and dogs on a leash and say if youre approached by a coyote, try to scare them off by waving your arms and making loud threatening noises.

The man who went missing yesterday afternoon out on the waters of the bay after going out on to a boat, he has not been seen since that time. And a major search was launched late in the day yesterday. And it was launched when boaters from another Oyster Company, the hog island Oyster Company spotted the mans motor boat on the water. It was empty and going in circled in the middle of the bay. Thats when they called for help.

Authorities say he was not wearing a life jacket when he went into the fairly shallow waters of the bay. We dont know how the victim ended up in the water. We do know that he did not have a life jacket and was in normal clothing for fishing. Reporter now, last night as that search got underway, it was fairly windy out on the water. 30 Miles Per Hour gusts. According to authorities, that created choppy conditions and made things fairly tough in terms of the search. The search was suspended for this man late last night.

So the word that i have from the marin county Sheriffs Office, a representative says that they will begin the church from nix cove right along highway 1. They will be searching for the missing 70 yearold man. An employee of the tomalis Bay Oyster Company. Some plaintiff it is the owner of the company.

Obviously searchers continuing to hold out hope that they can find him alive. Certainly. Thank you, alex.

If the board approves the petition tomorrow, he could walk out of prison as soon as october 1st. He has done nine years on a robbery charge. He will be 70 or he is 70 years old now.

He is determined to build the apartments and possibly a market. How much do you worry about another fire. I dont spend a lot of time on it to be honest.

And a little bit less of a wait between 10 and 15 minutes waiting now at the bay bridge toll plaza. That is pretty good. We still have a lot of low traffic on 880. This falls into the realm of the ordinary. The really slow traffic this morning has been on 101 all the way up into mountain view. 280 is completely sold out. And 85 also slow.
