Part of the plan. It appears he had plans to escape but police got there too quickly. Hes described as a drifter, who didnt have much contact with family. This morning they raided his hotel room where he had been staying since earlier this month. State police say he walked into the grand 16 Movie Theater thursday night, bought a ticket to be train wreck but all the while had attention to kill. 21yearold macy brode died within the theater another died at the hospital. Nine others were wounded. We get to the front of the building, a middleaged woman with blood coming out of her leg. Reporter investigators say houser fired 13 rounds from his gun. People in the theater scrambled, among them one woman who pulled the fire alarm, likely saving lives. It didnt take long for people to arrive. When they did, houser was still inside alive. It was apparent he was intent on shooting then escape. What happened is the quick Law Enforcement response forced him back into the theater. At which time he s
Of the community showed up during the public viewing.

Circulation around that. Getting a northerly breeze. High pressure is beginning its move towards us. That will warm things up over the next few days. 60s and 70s, and upper 70s and low 80s. 580. Sal. 580 east of canyon road, steve. Yes. There was a truck that caught on fire. The cab was completely burned to the ground. Fortunately no injuries. However, it caused a big delay both directions. Fire crews were on the scene. A lot on the scene to prevent the trailer from actually catching fire which was loaded with cardboard. There is an Engine Company there blocking the right lane. Out towards dublin, traffic will be slow. Eastbound all of the trucks coming over the hill. Westbound traffic may also be affected. But it eastbound is really taking a lot of the slow traffic. I can show it to you on the map here. Traffic is slow. Mostly eastbound at this point. But also a little bit westbound. We have been looking at contra costa county, highway 4, very slow. 680 is backed up from the benecia b
But the fuels are as dry as they get right now. We are expecting cal fire to hit this fire again aggressively this morning using a combination of hand crews, heavy equipment and air support as the sun comes up. Keep in mind this could be a relatively stubborn fire because of the steep terrain out here. Already five firefighters have injured themselves battling the bear fire. No word about overnight injuries and about those conditions. But thats one of the reasons why these firefighters may have injured themselves. They were telling me the conditionings are so steep they could have misstepped and start tumbling down an hour. Were going to have an update at 7 00 on the progress we are expecting that as the sun comes up. Theyre going to do that aerial survey. That will give them a sense of how the fire has developed overnight, where they need to con straight their resources and how to focus on getting the bear fire under control. Back to you guys. Thank you, christien. They were trying to
We can tell you from our experience here right now it is certainly much cooler this morning, with a little more relative humidity, more humidity in the air. Both of these very good signs for cal firefighters as they try to get control of the bear fire. The fire did settle down overnight. One of the things they wanted me to get across to folks, they received calls into the night up until midnight last night about people concerned that the fire was making a run. They say that does not appear to be the case. The fire has not made a run into surrounding areas. Firefighters telling me that they got calls as far away as saratoga and the fire is certainly not in that area. It seems that the fire has been largely contained or self contained, not that they have increased con tapement, but largely self contained in the area where it did burn yesterday. We are expecting that briefing to detail, again, how that fire developed overnight. We can tell you that it was smokier this morning at the comma
