KPIX KPIX 5 News At 600PM December 20, 2017

They sort of identified themselves as immigration officials. Reporter sources tell us that when Homeland Security called the Oakland Police department to find out if they had arrested anyone or had recovered the stolen items, they were told the police could not share any information with them. Oakland city councilman noah guyo explained oaklands current policy. The Immigration Department needs to communicate with the police chief and demonstrate that its criminal activity as well as safety emergency, but even at that case the support by the Police Department is very limited. Reporter but in this case police and immigration are on the same side. Both have an interest in making sure criminals are not impersonating immigration agents. You would hope the two could come to some sort of agreement to find out how they can solve this problem and this crime in a reasonable manner. Reporter now, of course, opd and immigration authorities both confirmed that the theft did take place, although the statement from Homeland Security had one pointed sentence in it. It says, further queries regarding recovery of the items should be referred to the Oakland Police department. In other words, they emphatically are being kept out of the loop. Its interesting because it really just seems like all it would require is a Little Common sense. What do we know about opds investigation at all so far, anything . Reporter we are hearing one person posted for pictures with some of the stolen items and it was posted to instagram. We have a suspect but dont know if any of the items were recovered. We learn ammo sales are skyrocketing heading toward the end of the year, but the deals have nothing to do with christmas. Across the state direct mail ammo sales are up 187 over last year. Some of the biggest increases are in the bay area, in the concord area sales up 968 . Ing up sales then in the santa clara area they are up 315 . Kpix5s Juliette Goodrich on the new law driving up sales. Gain this time reporter some are calling it ammogeddon, california shooters and hunters stocking up this Holiday Season on ammunition you can buy online. The clock is ticking. Reporter thats because come january 1st ammo purchased online cant be delivered to your doorstep. It will have to be shipped to a licensed dealer that has been approved by the department of justice. Were waiting for them to give us when, where and how. Reporter kevin yost, general manager of guns, fishing and other stuff, is still waiting for the doj to release its exact guidelines on who can supply ammo. Its a big unknown circle right now. We would love to have the answer and hope to get it very soon. Reporter smaller mom and pop retailers may stop selling ammunition altogether due to the process of getting doj consent. Griffin dicks is cochair of the Brady Campaign to prevent gun violence. Its not an attempt to prevent law abiding citizens from purchasing ammunition, but it is an attempt to make sure that this sales dont go to criminals and other persons who are prohibited from buying ammunition. Reporter come july of 2019 california residents will need to have a background check prior to purchasing ammo. With 2018 just a few weeks away ammunition retailers are trying to gear up for the new changes. And unfortunately were still waiting for a lot of the clarity and clarification coming down from the department of justice as to what these actual regulations are going to be, how theyll be enforced and how theyll impact both the consumer and retail store. Right now we just dont know. So until that happens were waiting just like everybody is waiting. Reporter now San Francisco already prohibits direct Home Delivery from online sales. If you want to buy ammo come january 1st, youll have to find your favorite gun store that carries it and see if they have the doj licensing to be able to pick up your shipment. That will be the case for all cities throughout the state of california. In double lynn, Juliette Goodrich, be with in dublin, Juliette Goodrich, kpix5. California is suing the Trump Administration again over Climate Change for undoing regulations to curb methane leaks at oil and gas wells. The state attorney general argues the practice contributes to harmful air pollution, especially in oilfields in the central valley. California has now filed 24 lawsuits against the Trump Administration in its first year. For years now california has been warning people about the health risks of live doing close to a freeway, but at the same time the state has been giving grants to build housing right next to busy freeways. We found one such example of this contradiction in san jose. Low Income Housing complex being built on bassett street, a stones throw from highway 87. Kpix5s devin fehely went to ask city leaders whats more important, housing or health . Reporter it should really come as no surprise that cars generate a lot of pollution. Living next to it is not good. Certainly breathing it in all the time is not good. Doctors know it. The state knows it as well, but the state also helps Fund Affordable Housing projects like the ones here in downtown san jose that are, you guessed it, right beside busy, dirty highways. Any Affordable Housing is a better solution than People Living unsheltered on the street. Reporter despite well documented Health Concerns like an increased risk of asthma and heart attacks from car pollution, cities continue to build housing along busy highways including projects helping one of the most vulnerable segments of the population, the homeless. Certainly if someone is living in a tent outdoors near a freeway is far greater risk than somebody living indoors with sealed windows and a filtered air conditioner. Reporter there are more than 5,000 homeless men, well and children living in san jose often in the squalor of makeshift tent cities like here near the intersection of 101 and 280. Homeless advocates say excluding sites for Affordable Housing next to a highway is not feasible. If you live on the street for any period of time, your life will be shortened 10, 20, 30 years. So clearly that health risk far outweighs any other. Reporter he says its not just for housing being built along the highway corridors, its luxury homes and high rise condos as well. He says electric cars and improved construction measures should mitigate some of the risks of having a freeway just a stones throw from your front door. Thats why we have sealed windows and advances in air conditioning to make sure people are safe. Reporter the mayor says that by building housing near transit corridors, the city hopes it will encourage people to basically ditch their cars and use public transit, something that would ultimately reduce pollution and the risk to peoples health. In downtown san jose, devin fehely, kpix5. A live look outside right now. After two dry weeks rain is back in our forecast tonight. Chief meteorologist paul deanno on what may be our last chance of showers for the month. Paul . The jury is still out on that. Lets enjoy what we have coming, which is not much and it doesnt look promising after this, but it is likely going to rain tonight. Its raining steadily to our north. It wilt not be as heavy by will not be as heavy by the time it makes it here. A few showers into lake and Mendocino County working their way south. Futurecast carries the rain into marin, solano and napa county by 10 00 tonight and working its way south it will be lightly raining in san jose, morgan hill and gilroy by 4 a. M. Overnight tonight. In the mountains theres a Winter Weather advisory in effect. Ski resorts need some snow, a lot of folks heading up to the mountains for the holiday. Snow level is low, 3,000 feet. There will be snow accumulating above that mark, 4 to 8 inches of snow by lunchtime wednesday. The radar is active tonight. Well talk about any further chances of rain coming up in my full forecast in a few minutes. Paul, thank you. Putting a brake on train crashes, this bay area rail system was built with technology that can actually stop a speeding train, how it may have prevented the disaster in washington. A call for change after a close call at sfo, a bay area congressman fighting to preserve what many call critical evidence. And last winters storms left a gaping hole in this bay area highway. Wait till you see how far the repairs have come. [ splash ] [ horn sounds ] dang ok, i gotta run. Hey, wait, theres something i need to tell you dang. Dang dang dang. Dang. See zero in a whole new way. Get zero down, zero deposit, zero first months payment, and zero due at signing on select volkswagen models. Now with the people first warranty. Im worried. I have this medical bill. Oll, huh . Dave, you have anthem and they have people to talk to who are empowered to help any question you. Is, is he okay . Real people . Living and breathing. Hopefully not breathing like that. For all the things that keep you up at night, Anthem Blue Cross has a solution. In Washington State. It appears the amtrak train was going too fast traveling at 80 investigators are on the scene of a deadly Train Derailment in Washington State. It appears the amtrak train was going too fast traveling at 80 Miles Per Hour in a 30 mile perhour zone. There are also questions tonight about whether the engineer mate have been distracted about might have been distracted by a second person in the locomotive cab. The ntsb says it has been recommending safety features like automatic braking Technology Like positive train control for decades. The sonoma marin rail area transit or smart is the first to be built with positive train control. Kpix5s john ramos shows us how it works. Reporter so would the amtrak crash in Washington State have happened had the train been equipped with an automated control system . In the north bay the smart commuter line was designed to avoid just such an accident. If our train approaches the curve at a much higher speed than its supposed to, positive train control shuts us down and brings the train to a stop. Reporter the smart general manager said they spent four years and 50 million creating a custom positive train control or ptc system so their locomotives will not operate if drivers dont follow specific guidelines. Effectively its sort of like an automated kill switch if it doesnt follow the criteria youre talking about . Very expensive and very long design kill switch. Reporter the smart system includes fiberoptic lines along the 43 miles of track and signal relays on the roadway and on board the train. The federal government has been trying to mandate ptc nationwide for years and the current deadline is the end of 2018, but mansurian said the complexity of the systems make them hugely expensive. He believes creating a system for as large of an operation as amtrak will cost billions. For us were a brandnew railroad so it was much easier to do it right from the beginning. For others who have to go back and retrofit while theyre running their freight or passenger system, its double headache. Reporter the section of track in washington had reportedly benefited with ptc equipment, but the system was not yet operational. Mansurian said any train operator waiting to get started now is in for a rude awakening. So if people just woke up today and say gee, i better comply with ptc, then theyre going to have to be very, very much surprised. Reporter in petaluma, john ramos, kpix5. A bay area congressman is calling for a congressional hearing related to recent close calls at sfo. Back in july youll remember an air canada flight mistook a taxiway for a runway and came within a few feet of some planes waiting for takeoff. Then in october another air canada flight blamed radio problems for failing to respond to orders to abort their landing. In each of those close calls the cockpit voice recorders were overridden because the data was not saved right away. Its unnecessary. But desa the representative a representative of concord wants a way to better record the recordings. He argues theyre important to old iting the whole story to telling the whole story. In the south bay a man in morgan hill told operators he was afraid he was about to be shot. Police responded to the mans home and found him with a single gunshot wound. He was able to describe his three attackers. Police arrested three suspects minutes later on highway 101. They say it was a targeted shooting. Theres no word yet on the motive. The victim was rushed to the hospital. We have not received an update on his condition. The mother of a man killed by a rookie San Francisco Police Officer is now suing the city. Ting was not justified keita oneil was shot and killed earlier this month while exiting a stolen van in the citys bayview. A lawyer for his more said the shooting was not justified because keita was not armed and the officer fired from inside his police cruiser. The rookie had been on the job just four days. The Training Officer was inside the car as well and neither one of them turned on their body camera in time enough for this activity to be seen from the very beginning. Now the San Francisco City Attorneys Office spokesperson says they are reviewing the lawsuit, but they had no comment. This incident remains under investigation by multiple agencies.

To our east it is raining light to moderate rainfall once again to our north and were watching a low pressure area come down from the pacific northwest. This type of activity, which we would consider normal in our rainy season where a storm moves in from the north and gives us some rainfall and lowland snowfall, this would be typical, but its been soable sent this month because so absent this month because of our blocking ridge of High Pressure which took these storms and sent them into canada.
