Couple of hours ago. When we arrived here on the scene, we were told by Police Officers to move to the side of the street, to hug the wall, especially if we saw other officers hugging the wall. As you mentioned, this is all going down at the crown hotel, a Single Room Occupancy Hotel on valencia just past 16th street where as you also mentioned a source has told abc 7 news this may have began when a manager went door to door telling residents or tenants inside this sro that they would be spraying for pesticides and an individual pulled a gun. We had heard reports at one point that that individual possibly had some type of incendiary device. Of course there were other people inside the sro. They had to be evacuated. Residents told us they were asked to leave the sro in a single file line. We spoke with one woman who described what it was like.

But the conversation was not productive. This area is one of the most densely populated and busy neighbors in the city and we talked with a Restaurant Customer who talked about being evacu

Football is family, and this is oaklands home, this is the raiderss home so they should not go anywhere. I will not go anywhere else to see the raiders. No one has ever heard of another team coming to support another fan base like this, and the heat is on. 16 days until when the owners continue in arizona in regards to potentially relocating to a move. This tends to pressure the teams and owners against moving to las vegas, if they can get nine, the raiders would not be able to relocate. These people, the black and silver, it wont be the same anywhere. Its a hail mary pass that they hope will keep the raiders in oakland. Well, a woman missing for two days before being found is now out of the hospital, she disappeared after going on a hike and remained missing for almost 48 hours until yesterday when the rescue crews found her at the bott
