In the meantime, they locked down that area, hoping to get more information and of course, to arrest the suspects. But by the time the officers arrived, they were long gone. They ultimately decided short time after that that just released the students back to their parents.

The other was stabbed in the arm nonlifethreatening injuries, although there reportedly still in the hospital this morning.

Well, its 6, 15 communities in Southern California are getting the sandbags theyre bracing right now for possible rain, heavy rain. As a matter of fact, maybe even mudslides. Weve got hurricane hilary making its way up the Pacific Ocean and barreling down on them as we speak. Potential flooding coastal flooding. Storm surge strong to damaging told state wave may be over 10 feet tall. All, you know, battering waves, dangerous boating conditions are pretty start to materialize earlier in the weekend. Yeah, its pretty insane. Experts say that a hurricane like this is rare. The last time a Tropical Storm hit california at this looks like more than 80 years and well, look at that. Look at is amazing. John and i were talking about this before the newscast this morning. And it just kind of mine bending what the what certain communities in Southern California are about to see here. Come what years of this with the top ed . I know i think what 9. 39, 0 k john. So lets get you in the congress. We even video of amazing see us . I were not going to like that potentially are we know . I mean, so were going to be doubling the annual rainfall of many Southern California areas in just 2 last flood last year. You have are very rarely see the spc. The Storm Prediction Center putting out for warning and flash flooding in for areas like palm springs. Thats exactly what theyre doing. So its going to be an interesting beginning to next week for sure. And like james and darya were saying, this would be the first Tropical Storm status system to actually make landfall in california since 1939. And you saw those images of what happened last time. So right here, category for hillary sitting west of mexico. This is a truly massive storm right at the peak of generally the atlantic hurricane season. So its a little odd to be talking such a strong storm, the eastern pacific basin. This storm right now forecast to make landfall on baja, california, just south of the u. S. Mexican border. Likely as a category 2 or one hurricane. And if the storm track takes it further inland, that risk of flash flooding is going to be at its very worst. If it does make its way a little bit further westward, it will result in more rainfall for areas like los angeles and san diego. Now we are going to be seeing all that rainfall really concentrated on areas that are used to seeing areas like palm springs up to death valley spots that are very prone to flash flooding. If you do see a lot of this rainfall in a short period of time and look at some of our rainfall projections for some of the southern areas of the state death valley could see around 4 inches of rainfall. By the time we reach early next week, the average annual rainfall for death valley is under 2 inches. So that is well in excess of it. Areas like palm springs, 4 to 5 inches of rain in just a matter of a couple of days. So hillary going to be packing a punch for Southern California. Look at us in the bay area that were really not getting a direct hit from this one at all. May see a few sprinkles, isolated thunderstorm. Thats about all the potential that we have here locally. So our eyes are definitely on Southern California for that one here locally, though, were just in for a cool down and then the possibility of an isolated thunderstorm next week. It will be 70s and 80s for almost all of our daytime highs today. Nobodys getting to 90 degrees. So weve really have backed off the heat and a pretty big way today is going to be the coolest day of the forecast. So if you are inland seeing all those 80s, i really hope you get out there this afternoon. Capitalize on them. Enjoy what is about to be a pretty pleasant feel compared to where we have been tomorrow and sunday. We will see a few low 90s making their return after todays 80s that are very warmest. Well see a slight chance of showers on sunday night. Better chance of maybe an isolated thunderstorm on monday. But compared to our Southern California, neighbors were really dodging the potential of anything bad from the storm. So eyes will be the southern part of the state into early next week. As for your roads, what weve got out, there is pretty smooth morning so far. Its friday and this is officially a friday, like kind of commute. Only 11 minutes across the bay bridge, 14 across the san mateo bridge still below 10 minutes across the Richmond Center fell hardly a commute at all. And look at the golden gate.

You know, fulltime care families across the United States on average pay close to 11,000 per year in child care. And advocates say the Business Model is broken during the pandemic. The federal government shelled out 24 billion in relief money to help keep more than 200,000 childcare programs afloat. Now that the money is set to dry up the Century Foundation estimates more than 70,000 programs will shutter and more than 3 million children may lose their spots and that could cost states more than 10 billion dollars in Economic Activity per year. Covid pandemic only further exacerbated the challenges having to have in many cases Small Business owners operate. To be able to provide, you know, care opportunities for Young Children and for working parents. What we need is a substantial, significant federal investment. President biden has announced a set of actions to help make childcare more affordable for certain working families. Including capping copayments 7 of a familys income. Some states are investing more as well. So get at. Ore families able to help paying for child care or raising the rates that the states will pay to child care programs for childcare, for families, childcare was more accessible.

Cruz says one of its cars entered an intersection on a green light and that it was hit by an Emergency Vehicle.

We are also deeply mindful of the well being of the First Responders and individuals affected by this incident. End quote. The company also says it is investigating what happened. And this recent crashes happening as the returns office wants to put a pause on the expansion of these driverless Taxi Services like cruise and waymo throughout the city. The motion was filed just days after the California Public Utilities Commission approved allowing those companies to start charging for rides at all hours. 24 7. In that time, the city has seen a wry, a , r series of problems involving Driverless Cars last wednesday. A cruise car drove past a closed for Construction Side before freezing in the middle of the site with its hazard lights on last friday night, were talked about how at least 5 cruise cars blocked traffic on north beach or in north beach.

The cpsc has yet to publicly respond to this request. Oakland mayor sheng thao, by the way, is responding to criticisms of the citys leadership. Yeah, theres a groups that are blaming city leaders for the surge in crime. The naacp and the oakland Police Officers association are calling on the city. Urgently to appoint a new chief kron fours. Philippe djegal has more. Mayor sheng thao says she acted in the city of oaklands best interests when she fired former police chief Leronne Armstrong for mishandling Police Misconduct investigations in february out the step that was necessary to keep us on the path of needed reforms. While we work to make our community safer. But since armstrongs termination, oakland naacp president Cynthia Adams says crime has spiraled out of control and evaluation based on the Police Departments crime statistics. The oakland Police Officers association publicly agrees with the naacp that it is not a coincidence that surging crime has coincided with a 7 month delay in appointing a new permanent chief. It would go to had been there a long time as well. But wouldnt it wouldnt immediate would Community Knows change. Knows what the case was about. Know the name state they it to, you know, not to do cry. Mayor thao says although violent and property crimes are spiking, homicides are down and believes an interim chief Darren Allison experience in managing the department. She says she has worked with governor gavin newsom to increase the california highway patrols presence in town to curb crime. And that armstrongs ouster is not relevant to the rise in crime to say that one person gets the credit for that work. Of everyone in department. That that is bogus house as she is bound by the city charter, which requires the Oakland Police commission to carry out a process of consultation and Community Outreach before presenting her with a list of recommended candidates for the job which the commission started in july continuing through this month and wish that the process can move faster. But of course, oakland deserves the best. And that process is under way. We have seen that the focus process of that process has been completed. And so im hopeful that we can get a new police chief by the end of the and i do. But, ali, that we could have worked things out. Which stroll. I do believe that.

Were going to and in the upper 80s at the very so really nice change of pace from the searing heat that all our inland areas have been saying. Now we do a big change of pace next week. Well talk about a really quick. Its not going impact us so much. But Southern California, especially this is hurricane hilary. Now a category 4 storm. Very powerful storm making its way up the west coast of mexico about to make landfall into the weekend on baja, california and eventually steering its way right through Southern California. If this torment haynes, Tropical Storm status as it crosses the u. S. Mexico border, it will be the first Tropical Storm in california since 1939. So very historic storm here that is going to pack a punch mostly with the amount of rain. Its going to be dropping in areas from los angeles inland out towards death valley in palm springs, the risk of flash flooding, especially high for those easter desert areas like palm springs could see 4 to 5 inches of rain in just a couple days. Time. Death valley could see well over 3 inches could double its annual rainfall in many of those desert locations which just arent built to handle all that rain. Meantime, look at the bay area kind of sitting it out. We will see the potential of a a few light showers, but really nothing significant from that system into the start of next week. In the meantime, its just a cooler day today and a break, a muchneeded break at this point from those hot temps. It will be 70s and 80s for the bayshore today, redwood city and carlos. 84 san jose at 87 degrees. Well, at our very hot spots like livermore, antioch, in vacaville, only at 89 degrees. Thats definitely a change from the triple digits that many of the same spots saw just a couple of days ago. So 10 degrees cooler for many areas. Those we move through the weekend. Temperatures tomorrow and sunday, not as cool as today, but also not as warm as we had been 90s that are very warmest and some 70s for the most part along the bay. Our best chance of any rain or isolated thunderstorms will be sunday night into monday evening after that will drive back out and warm back up. As for your roads got out there this morning has been picture. Perfect commute over the bay bridge. 12 minutes to get you across that wish. It could be this way every day. That is definitely friday bite san mateo bridge. Not so bad. Theres a lot of us out there, but everyone is moving as for the Richmond Center fell 12 minutes, little backup, but its not going to take you long to get through the tolls and the Golden Gate Bridge. 19 minutes. Thats the limit from nevado to San Francisco. So youre doing just fine out that way. James, thank you, john. 6. 48. The time. And in the legal medical lab in Fresno County could be linked now to a nationwide recall of pregnancy test. Last week investigators found dangerous chemicals along with files of human blood samples of covid19 and malaria and pregnancy test kits. They were all in an abandoned warehouse in reedley, which is a small town southeast of fresno. The fda has now issued a recall for those pregnancy test because they cant guarantee that theyre safe or effective or accurate. You can find a full list of the recalled products on the fdas. Whats web site at fda dot gov. Time now 6. 48 and several state lawmakers are launching an effort to make it easier for voters to approve certain local tax measures. Yeah, not everybody is on board, though. We have our kron. 4 capitol correspondent Eytan Wallace to explain. Well, as it stands today, many proposed local tax measures in bonds need at least twothirds approval from voters to pass. But some democrats here at the capitol say. That threshold is just too high. Get this done. Thank you. Thank you. Get this done. Thats exactly what these lawmakers and public safety, housing and labor advocates say they want to do with a ca one proposed state constitutional amendment to lower the voter threshold needed to approve general obligation, bonds and local special taxes for infrastructure and Affordable Housing projects. As it stands today, such bonds and special tax proposals need approval from at least twothirds or 66 of voters to go into effect. Ca one would reduce that approval threshold to 55 . A move the supporters say will make it easier for local governments to fund much needed Affordable Housing and infrastructure in their communities. Aca, one is so important. Assembly speaker pro tem cecilia dr currie authored the proposal. This will empower local communities to take action at the local level. To improve their economies, their neighborhoods and their residents quality of life. Those here say the twothirds threshold first established from voters passed prop 13 in 1978. Its just too high. Lets stop with his anti democratic nonsense. Where 65 of residents could be in favor of something and that somehow not good enough. This is a modest proposal to bring it down to a 55 threshold. This makes common sense. It allows our local voters who want to be a part of the solution to activate their own democratic participation to do that. But on the republican side. Enough is enough. Senator janet nguyen and several of her gop colleagues in the senate and assembly say aca one is an excuse for politicians to raise taxes on californians. Were so overt acts in california. Its all about give me more money. Give me more money and then would figure it out. State has felt weve given them more money every time theyve asked, what do they do with it . Besides whatever they want to do with it, they dont actually fix the problem. They promised us. And because this is a proposed state constitutional need at least twothirds approval from the legislature to qualify for the 2024 ballot. It makes it that far. Do the voters will have the final say reporting from the State Capitol. A tom wallace kron. 4 news. Thank you. Wait on our check this bear made of ice was brought to the State Capitol thursday. Barry lawmakers and senator josh back lure and Assembly Member matt haney arranged for this Ice Sculpture to be display there in sacramento.

Where the investigation stands this investigation stands this morni im orlando and im living with hiv. I dont have to worry about daily hiv pills because i switched to everyothermonth cabenuva. For adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete longacting hiv treatment you can get every other month. Its two injections from a healthcare provider. Now when i have people over, hiv pills arent on my mind. Dont receive cabenuva if youre allergic to its ingredients, or if youre taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. Serious side effects include allergic reactions, postinjection reactions, liver problems, and depression. If you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. Tell your doctor if you have liver problems or Mental Health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. Some of the most common side effects include injectionsite reactions, fever, and tiredness. If you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. It feels good to just live in the moment.
