like out here right now, there are flashing lights behind me, that's because police have this street still blocked off. there is crime scene tape and police walking the streets. misha captured this cellphone video as two bay area men hid underneath the bleachers and watched as people were being dragged to safety. >> bring her up with me now. >> there was a girl laying on the ground and someone

of mine who i knew from when i lived in las vegas. one of those people that you also heard from, one of those bay area men splits his time spending half of the year here in las vegas and the other half in the bay area. on a personal note, what i can tell you about my experience living here in las vegas for five years and now living in san francisco is that the two cities are so similar in the fact that they are cosmopolitan cities, that they are destination cities and it's probably part of the reason that the bay area can empathize with what is happening here in las vegas tonight and the sadness that is really palpable. you can really feel it here in las vegas and frankly why we're here because what happens in las vegas affects folks in the bay area and california all around the world. >> again, that was our jessica castro reporting. candlelight vigils were held across las vegas in honor of the victims. >> unlv hosted a vigil and moment of silence. people who knew the

concern all eyes on the north bay as far as weather goes because of the red flag warning, the high fire danger that continues above 1,000 feet until 5:00 this afternoon. wind gusts still 25 to 35 miles per hour, humidity down single digits and all that greenery from the winter now yellow, brown, dead, burn easily. so we need to be careful up there. let's talk temperatures, though. cool this morning, look at the san ramone valley, 46 right now, 45 pleasanton, 49 walnut creek and mid to upper 50s out the highway 4 corridor, a little warmer there, you don't get coil air drainage from mt. diab diablo. los gatos 49, 55 oakland, san carlos 54. 53 san francisco to 43 in napa and santa rosa. no morning marine clouds out there, a lot of sunshine and light breezes on the bay. it will become sunny at the beaches, just a few clouds around half-moon bay right now. exercising you will enjoy the low humidity. let's talk about what's going to happen today, your hourly temperature 8:00 it will be 56 in san francisco, noon 67, we will touch 70 which is close to your average high at 4:00 back to 63 degrees as we head towards 8:00. i want to show you quickly an isolated thunderstorm around tahoe and 50, mostly sunny 69 yosemite, morning showers around l.a. and san diego, low 70s there. i want to take you back to video from a little earlier this morning, around 3:30. westbound 92 on the san matteo bridge we had a semi that had a fire start near the rear axel. this was the point when all traffic was stopped eastbound and westbound, you can see that fire response is on the scene. they did get this tapped out relatively quickly and they were able to get a tow truck to the scene and actually i just got an update a couple moments ago from chp, they were able to open all lanes on the westbound side. they released eastbound traffic quite some time ago, westbound we had a lane blocked. and here is a live look, you can see things moving along pretty well right around the toll plaza. that is no longer a major traffic issue for this morning. i don't think we will see any residual delays, either. >> the central valley, some really heavy speeds westbound 205 at 580, 13, 11 miles an hour, close to an hour and a half between tracy and dublin. does look like overnight road work scheduled in both directions, that should not still be going on. we are try to confirm if we still have lanes blocked. patterson pass road will be your best bet for an alternate. next traffic update at 5:20. local survivors of the las vegas massacre telling us what they went through, others arriving back in the bay area in tears. >> also a parking problem in the north bay stirring up contro it's 5:15. back to the mass shooting in las vegas. stephen paddock is the 64-year-old nevada man identified as the shooter. >> here is what we know as investigators work to find a motive. he was a multi-millionaire, making his money in he will estate. he liked to gamble, he played poker at $100 a hand. he led a private and quiet life. police did not know of him. his brother eric lives in florida. eric told reporters his brother's actions just make no sense. >> he had a couple handguns, i think. he had a safe with a couple handguns. he might have had one long rifle but he didn't have any -- i mean, he had no automatic weapons that i know -- that i knew of at any time. >> and watch the top left of

closer look at soft targets what security experts are saying is being done to make you safer. >> it's difficult to protect sporting events and entertainment venues, the whole point of these facilities is to be open and accessible to the public, to bring as many people from the public as they can and by its very nature it's hard to secure. >> sunday's massacre was a game changer with authorities now having to police the sky, too. so expect to see more helicopters and drones. >> you can stay up for a long time and they can get a good view of what's going on. they will probably start putting people up on the roofs to see if anything suspicious is going on. the use of drones may be used. maybe even helicopters in larger venue areas. >> and coming up at 7:00 a.m. full live team coverage of the shooting with your gma first look i'm diane mass dough abc news, new york. the concert attracted fans from the bay area three were off duty firefighters from the alameda fire department. the

experienced. kim shoe pert was there. she says a man near her was shot in the back. >> i put my body over the guy just to protect it from any more, you know, shooting and then the people that were around him, just lied on them to make sure everybody was okay. and then i'm pretty sure one of the girls got shot and at that point i just -- i kind of freaked out and i was like, i have to go. we have to go, and called my daughter and basically told her beginning i was going to make it. >> kim thought there were at least four gunmen because of the shear amount of gunfire. police have said that the shooter acted alone. we caught up with other festival goers as they return home to the bay area. plenty of tearful reunions at the airport. >> it's one thing to talk to them on the phone but when

is growing as people are leaving flowers and candles and mementos. >> abc 7 news reporter amy hollyfield is there live with the emotional tributes that she is seeing to the victims. amy. >> reporter: hi, good morning, natasha. here is the head line that the local paper has today, unimaginable, but on the front page and among locals here there is a sense of pride about how this brought out the best in people. take a look at this section of the strip behind me, it is still closed down, you can see it is roped off with police tape and there are still police officers here, but the hotels are all mentioning this shooting in their signs. you can see the lit up sign at the mandalay bay calling for blood donations, also offering the phone number you can call if you're looking for missing loved ones who were at the concert. you can get information about victims if you call that number. the strip, though, still has its usual fun atmosphere, visitors are still here, they're in the bars, they're gambling in the casinos, but off site is where you will find a lot of the somber mood. look at this vigil that happened at night at unlv. hundreds showed up for the candlelight vigil. students say they feel scared, pointing out this could have just as easily have happened to them. they say it was very comforting for everyone to come together. back here at the strip you can see there is -- there are some candles and some flowers here across the street from where this happened. maybe not the size that we're used to seeing at something like this, but remember, we are right in the middle of where people are on vacation. so they are here looking for the vegas experience still. and the locals are working hard to give it to them. we have seen them still putting on bright smiles and serving up fun in the bars and in the casinos, but they are still asking us about this. we had one guy at our hotel asking us do you have any new information. so they are still very interested and invested and emotionally attached to this. when you get into your hotel room, when you turn on the tv, the first screen that comes up is a message saying our hearts and prayers go out to the victims. reporting live in las vegas, amy hollyfield, abc 7 news. >> i don't know how much you've been able to speak to some of the people who are working in las vegas, but obviously they must know a lot of the people who were either directly affected at the shooting or at least people who worked in the hotels and the surrounding areas. this is going to be a long process for them to deal with this as well. >> reporter: but what's interesting, reggie, is that they are very dedicated to their hospitality jobs. they understand the importance of giving people the vegas experience. i mean, last night when we got back to our hotel very late there was a very long line of people checking in, showing up to vegas for their vacation or their business conference or whatever. so they also know the importance of making sure that life goes on on this strip. >> certainly, amy, the economy depends on it there. that is a spirit i suppose that they have to take even if they take home something that is much different. we really appreciate your reporting there. thank you. the wife of a san francisco police officer is still missing this morning. she was last seen amid the chaos of sunday night's shooting. this is such a tough story. a team of officers is in las vegas, they are looking right now for stacee etcheber who went to the concert with her husband vinnie. he told stacee to run while he

afraid to raise my children in. time to come together and stop the hate. >> google and facebook are apologizing for amplifying false news stories that surfaced in the hours after the shooting. according to the chronicle google blamed an algorithm for highlighting stories that falsely identified an innocent man as the shooter. it came before police named stephen paddock. there were also

degrees, pretty comfortable there, look at this great afternoon, work hard during the day, the harder you work the faster the day goes and then get outside and enjoy. 66 at the coast, 71 around the bay and 77 inland. you will deserve it by then. notice where the fastest winds are, up across the north bay mountains, we still have the highest fire danger today until about 5:00. it's above 1,000 feet that's where the ingredients came together and still linger for a high fire danger. it's also the north bay where we see our biggest drop in temperatures, 16 to 20 degrees compared to yesterday.

volumes this morning, 205 down to 4 miles an hour, 11 miles an hour a little closer to altamonte pass. i'm checking those surface streets, they are all parking lots as well. checking in with a bunch

hi, good morning, natasha. here is the head line that the local paper has today, unimaginable, but on the front page and among locals here there is a sense of pride about how this brought out the best in people. take a look at this section of the strip behind me, it is still closed down, you can see it is roped off with police tape and there are still police officers here, but the hotels are all mentioning this shooting in their signs. you can see the lit up sign at the mandalay bay calling for blood donations, also offering the phone number you can call if you're looking for missing loved ones who were at the concert. you can get information about victims if you call that number. the strip, though, still has its usual fun atmosphere, visitors are still here, they're in the bars, they're gambling in the casinos, but off site is where you will find a lot of the somber mood. look at this vigil that happened at night at unlv. hundreds showed up for the candlelight vigil. students say they feel scared, pointing out this could have just as easily have happened to them. they say it was very comforting for everyone to come together. back here at the strip you can see there is -- there are some candles and some flowers here across the street from where this happened. maybe not the size that we're used to seeing at something like this, but remember, we are right in the middle of where people are on vacation. so they are here looking for the vegas experience still. and the locals are working hard to give it to them. we have seen them still putting on bright smiles and serving up fun in the bars and in the casinos, but they are still asking us about this. we had one guy at our hotel asking us do you have any new information. so they are still very interested and invested and emotionally attached to this. when you get into your hotel room, when you turn on the tv, the first screen that comes up is a message saying our hearts and prayers go out to the victims. reporting live in las vegas, amy hollyfield, abc 7 news. >> i don't know how much you've been able to speak to some of the people who are working in las vegas, but obviously they must know a lot of the people who were either directly affected at the shooting or at least people who worked in the hotels and the surrounding areas. this is going to be a long process for them to deal with this as well. >> reporter: but what's interesting, reggie, is that they are very dedicated to their hospitality jobs. they understand the importance of giving people the vegas experience. i mean, last night when we got back to our hotel very late there was a very long line of people checking in, showing up to vegas for their vacation or their business conference or whatever. so they also know the importance of making sure that life goes on on this strip. >> certainly, amy, the economy depends on it there. that is a spirit i suppose that they have to take even if they take home something that is much different. we really appreciate your reporting there. thank you. the wife of a san francisco police officer is still missing this morning. she was last seen amid the chaos of sunday night's
