Mikhail gorbachev was 91 years old ktvu is Jana Katsuyama joins us live tonight from the newsroom after speaking with the bay area professor who jenna met gorbachev and then wrote a book about his life as well as his legacy.

But unlike his predecessors, gorbachev opened the doors to russia, pushing russia closer to the west and into the modern era of freer speech and brought social and economic reforms.

This mom is just one of many parents at Madison Park Academy , who said she was in the dark after gunfire erupted monday at the School Reaction was to get down here and get these kids out. She said she learned of the shooting that injured a 13 year old from her kids inside the building the place of learning, not horror. And thats what its becoming. Investigators are still piecing together the circumstances of the shooting, but sources told ktvu that they were looking into whether the kids were playing with a gun at school and it accidentally discharged. Angela hall rushed to the school to her granddaughter at the Elementary School next door filled her in when she got there. She attends this lower campus. So thats how i got the news. And she was nervous and scared right by the my classroom where i was in history class is up there. Eduardo tapia said he called his family to let them know he was okay. Well lockdown in class wanted to know if im safer if anything happened, or they do just wanted to be kept updated. If anything serious happened, we reached out to the principal at Madison Park Academy and called an email the Oakland Unified School district. We want to know their policies and procedures for alerting parents during critical incidents. They have not returned to any of our messages. But at 10 pm monday night, the district did send out this alert to parents of full 8. 5 hours after the shooting. It reads in part, quote, as you might have heard already in the news or through word of mouth. There was an incident on monday at Madison Park Academy secondary school, someone had a firearm and around was discharged. A student was hit and is currently in the hospital receiving treatment for their injury. When we fail to plan plan to fail and that is unfortunately what happens when you have hours long delays in communication.

But the measure was challenged by those who said the initiative would violate the california constitution. All right. We talked about the big heat coming this weekend, mainly for the inland bay valleys. This could be hot around here as well. It should be, uh, really, really hot, though out towards bakersfield and down towards riverside in those areas will see as we get towards saturday, sunday and monday. In the meantime, these were your highs from today. Highs tomorrow are going to be a little bit warmer inland, maybe a little bit warmer around the bay, but very pleasant and its been really nice, right . Mild pattern. For the last gosh, last three or four days, certainly, and its going to change up a little bit as we head into tomorrow to warm up a little bit more inland and then more on thursday and friday or partly more on friday and saturday, also on thursday, and then it really gets hot saturday , sunday and monday. Theres fog at the coast not quite to the coast yet. Its still a few miles offshore, but it will move in. Theres the heat dome. Coming in, and some of the bottles. The reason people are getting freaked out about this is because some of the models are really aggressive on this. This heat dome you can look at numbers use deca meters to measure the height of these things, and its at a position that that the models its kind of almost like wow, that cant believe the models forecasting. This is not just for us. Its for the whole whole of that area, so well watch it and thats again why theres potential for some record highs. I think the Central Valley plays like bakersfield, sacramento, 110 114. Not out of the question , especially on sunday, but well see right now and as we go into this weekend, its going to be a battle between the cold onshore flow from the coast and the heat being pushed from the desert southwest, and were kind of right in the middle. If you look at geographically where the bay area sets San Francisco the hottest day is going to have probably on sunday is going to be probably 83 degrees. So you can see right. But if that thing shifts a little bit of the way, its going to change dramatically. If the heat comes further, San Francisco goes 93. He goes back the other way. San francisco goes 73, so its a long way to go down the road. Its this weekend. I know its like wednesday now, so weve got a ways to go. Theres fog tomorrow morning fog last night or fog this morning. And then fog tomorrow morning, and then it burns back to the coast, just like it did today forecast highs and then the five day forecast, and its not a red flag warning event. In terms of wins, which is good. Its not diablo wind event. Its a heat events dry event, and that means that fired engine will be up. But its not drastic. Ill see you back here tomorrow night. Well see them. Bill. Thank you. Coming up in sports. 49ers general manager john lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan shed some light on the decision to keep Jimmy Garoppolo are joe fonzi has their take on the quarterback situation coming up. You might already know that prop 27 taxes and regulates Online Sports betting to Fund Real Solutions to the homelessness crisis. So how will that new revenue be spent . New Housing Units in all 58 counties, including permanent supportive housing, tiny homes communities, project roomkey supportive hotel units. And intensive Mental Health and addiction treatment. In short, 27 means getting people off the streets and into housing. Yes on 27. It was cut down day for the 49ers and the rest of the nfl, and you can imagine what general manager john lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan were asked about first in a Conference Call today. The 49ers decision to restructure the contract of Jimmy Garoppolo and keep him on the roster and i just started floating the idea, probably a month ago. You know what if we kept them here in a backup capacity, you know, at some point we shared that with jimmy. It was important for kyle to let trey know that you know that that may be a possibility. I remember the first week of training camp, saying to jimmy, like if you dont like any of these opportunities if you dont go to the place you want. You cant get the contract that you want. We would love to have you here as a backup, and a backup role was great. There was no problems with it at all. I told him the exact same things that i told jimmy the options of bringing jimmy here that it had to be in a backup type deal, and that was the only option. Heres the picture that tray lands posted on his instagram account. Today thats lance in the foreground, backed up by garoppolo and brock purdy. Thats right. Mr irrelevant. The last player picked in the draft made the team and nate sub field did not said felt, was initially projected to be lances back up and had his moments in the preseason. The final preseason game last thursday was likely the game that finalized which player of the two would stay pretty, was praised by the Coaching Staff during his preseason trials. He had a full four years of College Experience at iowa state. In his short 49ers tenure, hes been considered mobile and decisive if not in possession of the strongest arm where there was some enjoyable drama at the ballpark tonight in San Francisco, but theres no denying at this point. The giants postseason hopes have faded into a cool San Francisco night. At least it was harry potter night, something to distract from the ultimate result and wild card status. Logan wag pitch well, giving up just a single run until the padres rallied in the seventh. Taylor rogers came on in relief, and he gave up an opposite field home run to trent grisham. Padres got three in the inning for four. Nothing lead. They took a 4 to 1 lead to the ninth, the giants were down to their last out with a runner at first Jack Peterson at the plate. Peterson sends one toward mccovey cove. He thinks its fair. The umpires agreed as the ball lands in the cove. Thats homer number 20 on the year for peterson. Its the 96th time in the ballparks history that a home run ball has gotten wet brought the giants within a run. But they still lost 4 to 3. They are now 9. 5 games out of that last wild card spot, which means its time for dandy don to sing anybody here old enough in the room, but that song is turn out the lights. Yeah the as in the nations capital. Yes that is a true statement is fell into an early 4 to 1 whole before they rallied in the third inning. Rookie dermis garcia off the nets eric fetty with a runner on that ball high and deep and gone, garcia will always remember that one. Thats his First Major League homer 4 to 3 games, has got three more in the inning to take the lead. And then they really added on the fifth shaun murphy with the basis fall against steve cishek that was headed to the same place, and that was a grand slam that put oakland in front. 10 to 5 is when on to win 10 to 6 their third in a row. Heres one for you. Thats oaklands first game in washington since 2005 when the nationals played it. Rfk stadium rfk stadium there, yes, and giants losing. Its kind of nice to see the nfl season starting to yes, it is in the big picture, losing yeah, the age at least they want tonight. But yeah, exactly. Alright joe. Thank you. You bet. Thanks for watching everyone. Have a good night. Good night. Thanks for joining us. Mmm, thos. What are you doing with those . Luke and i are doing a recycling drive.
