very high creeping out of the sacramento valley and into solano and napa counties. look at this explosion of extreme fire conditions as we head to bed at 11:00 sunday night. so while we're sleeping sunday night into monday, that is going to be one of our most dangerous times for fires. >> all right. we'll continue to look at that. thank you. new details in oakland, a six-hour standoff with a double murder suspect finally came to a peaceful end. yesterday at around 11:00 in the morning, the gunman barricaded himself in this shoe store, took a hostage and opened fire. after several hours, police were able to negotiate the employee. the suspect remained agitated firing more rounds. a few hours later they coaxed him out bringing him into custody. >> we will continue to demonstrate to our community that we are serious about reducing the violence. for those that responsible for the violence, we will seek to take you into custody. >> police say the suspect was wanted in connection to a double homicide last week on 84th avenue. oakland unified school district is apologizing for releasing a survey that included a historically racist term for people of asian dissent. the communications director said we are sorry for anyone who saw it and felt the crushing weight of historic racism associated with the word. district officials are working to find a digital security issue that may have led to the problem. ousd will send a replacement survey out soon. a california appeals court ruled that uber and lyft violated a state labor law but this will not have an immediate impact. the ruling says that the ride hailing companies misclassified their drivers as contractors instead of employees and that goes against assembly bill 5 which grants fair wages and benefits to workers classified as employees. this issue is on the ballot. if prop 22 passes next month, the companies would be allowed to classify drivers as independent contractors. happening today, marin county hosting a drive-through halloween spooktacular. this is happening at the marin center in san rafael. they're setting up for family friendly haunted surprises and activities. all of this will be done as you stay

getting into the practice of mask giveaways. as you can see from the picture on your screen, it smells like chicken. specifically it smells like their new chicken sandwich which actually is not chicken because it's plant-based. so they're giving these away as long as supplies last on their website. jk jack in the box is testing the sandwich in a handful of restaurants. because i always do that extra research for you, kumasi and mike, there's also a hormel bay done scented mask, which they are giving away. theirs has a charity component. if you want to smell bacon all day long. >> friend, i know you like your masks. do these scented masks intrigue you? >> okay. so -- my hot take is while i don't want to smell chicken or bac bacon, i do think this is a good idea. i wouldn't mind if you could buy scents like a variety of scents that you would want to smell all day and not feel like you're in a greasy kitchen. >> that's true. i can't think of what i would want to smell all day. >> what about a little lavender? something to keep you calm? >> right. i was thinking lavender, vanilla, sweet tea rose. >> okay, mike. >> i like the sweeter smelling. my tea olive bushes have been blooming the last couple of days. they smell so wonderful. >> okay. >> would love to have that, too. yeah. chicken? bacon? i don't know. it's not even real chicken. you're putting artificial chicken

warmer afternoons after those chilly mornings tuesday and wednesday. all eyes on sunday night through tuesday. more on that coming up. in today's "gma" first look, a 4-year-old deposition of jeffrey epstein's girlfriend has been released despite maxwell's legal challenges. it showed she denied being a part of sexual abuse of teenage girls. >> reporter: in this morning's "gma" first look, after

be happy. >> is it too soon to fall in love? >> you might have to fight mike, though. coming up next, 7 things to know this morning. a deer crashes right through a shop window. how in california,

the front window of this salon and then it's not done yet because it starts jumenning up and down the various stations hitting the glass probably because the deer saw its own reflection. the owner said the buck was still in there when she got to work four hours later. see that? the deer -- to give this deer credit, the deer jumped out the same way it jumped in, which i think is very polite. the owner just opened the shop last month and had to close for a day to clean up the mess. >> probably the least that deer could do after all of that. >> what do you think the deer was after? >> in the salon? >> yeah. >> i don't know. my salon has wine. >> see? it was her grand opening, she probably had some things left over. that's what i'm thinking. we're coming back with another full 90 minutes

news. >> thank you. this is the first presidential debate where the candidates microphones were muted at times to allow both time to speak uninterrupted. we asked phil matier if that worked. >> you know, it's embarrassing. the idea that we had a presidential debate where you had to mute the microphones? i mean, come on. if that's where we are starting from that, it's not a good place to be. it controlled both sides. it also gave joe biden his two minutes to get out there and say what he wanted to say. it gave trump his. they still ran over each other's times. >> abc news was fact checking both candidates during the debate. to find out which claims hold up go to abc7news.com. a boost to businesses in alameda county and more people will be allowed inside places like restaurants, movie theaters and gyms today. the economy is a big focus for us here at abc7 news in our effort to building a better bay area. amy hollyfield is live in the east bay with what we can expect today. amy? >> hi, good morning. restaurants can now serve more people here in alameda county, they have the outdoor option. now they can open inside to a limited capacity. they can let in 25% of their capacity starting today. that's an option for restaurants. if you're headed out this weekend to eat, you know you have both options, in and out. they can have 25% capacity or fewer than 100 people. that formula applies to movie theaters and indoor worship services, gyms and fitness centers. all of them can have a few more people inside. the mayor of oakland gives the credit to residents for being diligent saying social distancing and wearing masks has really paid off. >> we have got to keep doing that because if those test results don't stay where they are, if they don't get better, alameda could roll these privileges back. so let's keep it going. >> so the county is in the orange tier, it can fall back to the red tier in it doesn't meet the requirements for two consecutive weeks. the orange tier means the spread of the virus is moderate. the next tier that the counties want to move up to is yellow. that means the spread is minimal. live in pleasanton, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. >> thank you. we heard a lot of promises about a potential coronavirus vaccine last night from the presidential candidates. let's talk about facts and the fda just having a meeting where they're discussing the progress from these major manufacturers. jobina fortson is at the live desk with more on what they discuss discussed. >> hi, reggie. everything is moving in the right direction in terms of finding a vaccine for the virus, but we are not there yet. so here's the very latest information. we'll pull it up for you. the first large scale vaccine trial happening in the u.s. has hit its target enrollment of 30,000 participants. that's the vaccine being developed by moderna. if all goes well the company's president says the vaccine could be available on the market by december. pfizer has lowered the age of participants in its trial to 16 years old. the company wants at least 3,000 older teens enrolled. an fda vaccine advisory committee met yesterday. experts from around the country joined on a livestream for the hearing. the panel assured them the agency would enforce a minimum efficacy standard before considering any vaccine for emergency clearance and also would require strict follow-up testing. if we don't take measures to restore confidence in this, all these people have told us they won't take this vaccine. >> members of the panel voiced concerns about the perception that the agency is under intense political pressure from the white house to approve a vaccine quickly. the panel included experts in the field but a stanford infectious disease expert says the key word is ed a advisory. remdesivir is the first and only drug approved as a covid-19 treatment. that approval just came yesterday. gilead sigh yen ciences makes t. remdesivir can shorten the patient's recovery time by 5 to 7 days. coming up, the scott peterson case returning to the courtroom today. why it's being re-examined almost 20 years later. and the latest on the search for piggie smalls. a family that lost their home in the glass fire now still looking for their pet. first, a check on the weather with meteorologist mike nicco. >> all right. let's talk about some chilly temperatures. let's go into our east bay valleys and look at these 40s throughout the tri valley. heading up in elevation, 53. you head out highway 4, we have mid to upper 50s. definitely a cold morning there if you left the windows open. even cooler than up in the north bay where we have 49 in napa, 50 everywhere else. 50 in los gatos, mid to upper 50s for the bay shore. let's look at that fog. you can see it's thickest right now at our reporting station in napa. that means vallejo, american canyon, napa, highway 80, 39, 29, 112, all of those could have issues with reduction in visibility throughout the morning commute. here's emeryville, 55 degrees right now. that is my biggest concern with your commute the fog out there this morning. all right. let's look at our high wind watch. this is when the winds will be most december tric destructive. not only will we have a psps but also going to have the winds that could knock out some power from 4:00 sunday to 10:00 monday. but the fire threat is going to remain in a broader scope, 48-hour timeframe of critical to extreme fire conditions from 11:00 sunday to 11:00 tuesday because of those gusts at 50 miles per hour where most of us live to nearly 70 up in the hills. more on that coming up. first, let's get over to jobina and find out the all-important question for friday. is it light? >> oh, yes, it is, mike. thank you very much. good morning. so if you have to head out of the house today, great news, no major crashes, no major blocking issues to report. bringing in the maps to prove it to you, look at those seasnsors there, hardly a red line coming out of tracy there. a couple spots there at the toll plaza which i will show you with our live camera. i want to bring in a commuter alert for fairfax-bolinas road, it's closed between highway 1 and the meadow club until monday. here is the toll plaza, no metering lights on according to the chp and it is moving nicely. mike showed you a live picture of 80 for people making their way westbound, moving smoothly. bringing up the richmond-san rafael bridge, things are looking empty. for the most p welcome back. 5:44 on this friday. let's look from the exploratorium camera. we have a 2,000 foot marine layer but it's not saturated. the air is still pretty dry. we're cool, just not as cloudy as we could be and foggy out there. temperatures near 60 at the coast. 70s for the rest of us this afternoon. let's look at the winds and watch them explode as we head into sunday afternoon and into the evening hours with gusts reaching 35 to nearly 50 miles per hour where a lot of us live. that's what's going to contribute to the explosion of extreme fire conditions in the north bay, santa cruz mountains as we head to bed sunday night. >> thank you. a family is searching for answers this morning after a deadly drive-by shooting this week that claimed the life of a young woman pregnant with her second child. 19-year-old sereinate henderson was in the driver's seat of a car on prince street near ellie a ellis and berkeley when she encountered a hail of gunfire. the young mom, son and siblings were in the car with her. they were not hurt. they were boxed in by two cars when the shooting started. >> it was a black car that pulled up behind us, and a white car that pulled up on the side of us. the white car pulled up on the side of us and
