This vintage rv is home. I didnt plan on living here. I just, lost my job, about a year and a half ago. And i couldnt find a place that i could afford. Hes not alone. We counted six rvs parked on this street on thursday. The city wants them to leave. We are good people. You know, i work every day. The Mayors Office tells us they are giving rv owners until march 28th to remove their vehicles. San franciscos transportation code prevents any vehicle from being parked on a street for more than 72 hours. Its a great spot. I can understand why theyre here, but its limited parking. The Mayors Office says that parking these large vehicles along this windy, narrow road is dangerous, and that the raw sewage being dumped here is a safety hazard. Weve all been coming out and picking up all the trash every morning. Theres drug dealing going on in the back of the one. Theres the dogs left all day long. Other neighbors dont have a problem with the rvs. Heartsick to see it happening on all the levels.

We look forward to a future occasion where we can meet with you in person. Thank you for being here this evening. My name is Anthony Eames and i am the director scholarly initiatives
Have more to share later on. I want to bring in our senior crime and justice correspondent Shimon Prokupecz shimon, what more are you hearing there . We know that this happened before the bank was open around 8 30, which gives us a little bit of a clue of what may have been going on and who the suspect who is now dead is right. And by all accounts at this point based on what were hearing from witnesses and Law Enforcement, this is quite a chaotic scene. Police officers arriving and then within minutes that they were there they had encountered. According to police. They were fired upon. There were gunshots , and then we have seen indications where glass has been broken at the front. What appears to be the front of this bank has happened. As you said around 8 30 this morning before the bank was open for business. Were hearing from people inside the bank having to hide inside the vault the banks vault to try and protect themselves and police. We believe this point encountered the gunman a
