Groping and harassing a woman at a public park. Cousins of dozens of people are evacuated and crews are working to clean of dozens of gallons of spilled fuel. This is the scene from news chopper 2. Sir Francis Drake boulevard, a major thoroughfare near san quentin is completely shut down. Good evening. Im tori campbell. Good afternoon, brian. It remains a mess out here literally on sir Francis Drake boulevard. Crews had to move us back several hundred feet because they were concerned about the gas fumes still emanating from the roadway. The tanker truck around the corner from where im standing remains overturned five hours after it happened. Its looking like it will be midafternoon at the earliest before this scene is clear. Want to go to some video right now of what it looked like this morning from news chopper 2 just after 7 00 this morning. According to chp the driver of the double gas tanker truck was head ed westbound just after Anderson Drive when he lost control. Investigators say the driver was going the speed limit but that the rear tanker went on the soft shoulder. With all that gas inside, the tanker lost balance. The driver tried to compensate but eventually lost control and overturned. Investigators estimated earlier about 1700 gallons spill on to the road. I just got an update they now believe up to 4,000 gallons spilled on to sir Francis Drake boulevard. Crews spent all morning quickly cleaning up the mess. Theyre using a section hose to place whatever gas spilled in to another tanker. It didnt appear that he fell asleep. It didnt appear that he was speeding. Im not sure what their reason was. Thats still under investigation. As a precaution, about 10 homes or about 40 people were evacuated from a neighborhood called san quentin village near the west gate of san quentin prison. The prison itself was not affected. Investigators say a very small amount of fuel actually leaked in to a storm drain nearby but they were able to block it from making it further. So the process now is to get all the fuel out of the shoulder and out of the truck and to have the tow truck right the truck forward. We dont want to right it with fuel on the ground or in the tank. As for the driver, he didnt want to be on camera but he told me hes doing okay, just upset that it happened. He didnt need medical attention and he was helping crews all morning long in the cleanup effort. Sir francis boulevard remains closed on both directions. On the marin county side, northbound on 101, you can exit sir Francis Drake but youll be turned around once you reach the ferry building. Another thing stopping this progress is the cleanup crew that was actually meant to be here is actually stuck in traffic on the Richmond San Rafael bridge. Chp crews are sending a crew out to get them so they can get the tanker truck righted up sooner than later. We can estimate 4 00 to 7 00 p. M. Before the scene is entirely clear.

But last night Vallejo Police say one of the neighbors opened fire on her on the front porch of this home. Her teenaged son, robert patterson, remembers saying goodbye to his mom for the last time. She said that she loved me. And i said that i loved her too. And she said that shed be right back. And she didnt come back. Reporter immediately after the shooting, Police Arrested michael wilson, who lives right next door. Investigators say he knocked on his neighbors door around 10 30 last night and when the door opened, he began firing with a highpowered weapon. This home belongs to reggie posey. He believes the accused killer was coming after him but christiansen got caught in the middle. Posey says wilson often harasses him using racial slurs. Hes been racist ever since ive been here. He dont like black people. Calls people n words. He sits in there and drinks all day. Then he comes out and gets bold and starts cussing people out. Reporter police wont say if the suspected shooter has revealed a motive for the crime but so far nothing points toward this being a raciallymotivated killing. At this point we dont have any information to lead us to believe that thats in fact the case. Obviously were not ruling anything out at this point. Were investigating everything that we possibly can to try and understand why Something Like this would happen. Obviously a tragic end to a womans life. The victims 18yearold son is inviting friends and neighbors to a vigil in honor of his mother that will happen wednesday night here near the scene of this shooting last night.

Palo alto police are asking for the publics help in identifying a man accused of harassing and groping a woman in a public park. This is the sketch of the man. A woman says he approached her friday morning while she was sitting on a bench in the park on dartmouth street. He asked if she was married and if they could become good friends. As she tried to leave, he grabbed her and tried to kiss her and she was able to push him away. Police are concerned he could become more aggressive if hes not caught. With crimes like these, if individuals get away with it, a lot of the times they progress and they get worse and worse. The man is described as middle eastern, 45 to 55 years old, 53, about 170 pounds with a potbelly. Anyone recognizes the suspect in the sketch is asked to call Palo Alto Police. An event to show off potentially life saving rescue equipment is wrapping up at moffat field. Its all part of an effort to share Specialty Equipment during an emergency. As one head of Emergency Services put it, its all about sharing a Business Card now as opposed to during a disaster. The California Air and national guard, 129th rescue wing, hosts the joint forces capabilities event here at moffat field. Essentially two dozen agencies from all over the bay area bring their equipment for an informal show and tell session. Its an opportunity for smaller agencies to see equipment they may need to borrow. You might be saying some of this equipment seems excessive but one head of Emergency Management says knowing what his neighbor agencies own means he wont purchase duplicate equipment. So the event helps him make informed purchase decisions. An open forum, a discussion for these agencies to be able to talk with each other and really try to understand what capabilities they have in effort to have discussions how to work in concert with each other. The Palo Alto Police department showed us inside their mobile command unit. Its essentially city hall and the Police Department combined. It could operate the 911 system and organize city crews like the Streets Department during an emergency. There are only around a half dozen mobile command units with that much functionality in the bay area. So a good example of when this type of networking would really come in to play is when the next big earthquakes hit. Connections made today could save precious minutes during an emergency. In San Francisco the coast guard was very busy yesterday having to rescue 25 kite surfers and wind surfers in the water. The rescue efforts took place between 5 30 and 7 15 p. M. The coast guard had to use two boats to rescue the stranded surfers who were all caught off guard when the wind unexpectedly died and that meant the surfers could not propel themselves back to the beach.

Niiice bank from almost anywhere with the citi mobile app. Today the Justice Department announced one of americas largest banks, citi group will pay a 7 billion penalty for risky mortgages that led to the great recession. Some of the money will help people impacted by the housing crash. Attorney general eric holder said citi group admitted to egregious misconduct. The banks activities shattered lives and livelihoods throughout the country and also around the world. They contributed mightily to the financial crisis that devastated our economy in 2008. Investigators say citi group sold mortgages to investors knowing the value of homes was overstated. Borrowers defaulted immediately and investors lost millions of dollars. Of the settlement money, 2. 5 billion goes to customer relief programs, that includes reducing interest rates, modifying loans, and creating Affordable Rental Properties in high cost of living areas. The Justice Department expects the settlement to help hundreds of thousands of housing crash victims. We hope this measure in particular will bring relief to families who were pushed in to the rental market after losing their homes in the wake of the financial crisis. A citi Group Official said this settlement is in the best interest of the companys shareholders and allows the company to move forward. But holder said citi Group Employees could still face criminal charges. Kyla campbell, ktvu, channel 2 news. Silicon valley tech giants google, netflix are criticizing the Net Neutrality rules.
