Fall. The incidents triggered a community rally for change, but merchants i spoke with say they have seen no improvement since, despite the sfpd increasing patrols, so theyre taking matters into their own hands. Police need to police people. If theres no people here to police, of course theyre going to go somewhere elsewhere theres more action. Reporter for the past six months, steven lee, a Business Owner and entertainment commissioner for San Francisco has been working with the sfmta, San Francisco recs and park and the garage to lower evening time parking rates to draw in business and get the city to step up safety efforts. This will hopefully boost our nighttime economy. Reporter from 5 00 p. M. To 2 00 a. M. Used to cost 36. Now its just 8. Spent 40 or more at participating merchants and the rate goes down to 3.

Corner of fairgrounds drive and soreno drive and the shooting happened behind me outside of this valaro gas station. Now it is a fluid situation, the police are still on the scene investigating. They are not releasing much information just yet. Let me tell you what we know so far. Now, the shooting was reported just before 5 30 this evening. It involved an off Duty Richmond Police officer and a resident here in vallejo. Again, the police are not really giving us much details about what happened but apparently there was some sort of confrontation. Again, no specifics from the police. There were several shots fired and when the Police Arrived here on the scene they did find a plan who was pronounced dead on the scene. A witness heard the shots.

We looked outside and we saw some Police Officers coming. We went outside and then we saw this gent
Or might not be. We will keep you posted where the fog moves. Lets go back to the desk. Thank you. The first public impeachment hearings begins this week on capitol hill. Doug luzader reports there are battles brewing over who. I consider any impeachment in the house that does not allow to us know who the whistle blower is to be invalid because without the whistle blower complaint we wouldnt be talking about any of this. Reporter republicans want to hear from a number of witnesses but these two are the big ones. Whistle blower who drew attention to President Trump dealings with ukraine, and hunter biden, the son of former Vice President joe biden who worked for Ukrainian Energy firm is a central gop complaint. Waywe want to stay focus on on the eu kind call and having hunter bideen come in is unrelated to the call. And so that is irrelevant. Reporter democrats will object to having either testify and they control the agenda. Their star witnesses this week, three state Department Offici

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. We were just sitting in the room and we heard the pounding on the door. We didnt know what it was. Then we opened the door and the officer said,
