Girl standing on top of the toilet seat. And said our little girl is clowning around. She broke down in tears when she found out the reason. The daughter was practicing a lockdown drill she had learned at preschool where she and the other students were told to stand on top of the toilet and to lock the door so if theres a gunman in the bathroom, he or she wont know that someone is in the stall. You know, hearing just the comment from a child at yesterdays mass shooting in Tehama County and hearing her describe hitting the floor on her stomach, laying down, being told to do just that, i just thought, you know, we never did that growing up. Right. We had the fire drill and the earthquake drill. The mass shooting drill never existed. Im glad that it is being done now. Do you know what comes into my mind when Something Like this happens involving children. How do the parents feel. We are all parents here. Unbelievable stress until you get there and realize and you okay. Your kid is fine. Right. Right. I thought about back to the picturement back to the things that we didnt do in Elementary School. About twothirds of all schools in the u. S. Are estimated to do active shooter drills. Not just lockdown but active shooter. I have seen video of one of them in progress. It is by another studio so i cant share it here. Some parents are questioning if more children need to do that so they know what to do. Throw the stapler, barricade the door, jump up on the toilet or is it traumatizing for the little ones. I dont know if you need to go to that extent but you need to be practicing the drills. We saw the custodian and the staff at the school yesterday did the right thing. They locked the doors and got the children down. Despite that, one child was hit. I think about the woman in the School Office who was ducking under her desk and typing an email to the Sheriffs Department saying we need help. Get here now. Incredible stories coming out of Tehama County. A lot of enter a lot of tee rowism and terror as well. A gunman killed four people and injured ten others. Kevin neal started his attack by shooting two of his neighbors and stealing a truck. He then moved on to six other locations. One of them, the local Elementary School. Two children were injured by gunfire there. Officials say quick thinking by the staff likely saved many lives. I was actually notified by a heroic secretary who sent an e mail while crouching under her desk and reaching up and typing on her keyboard. There were many heroes, many that rushed students away from the school yard and locked them in the classrooms. The family says the gunman struggled with Mental Health issues and he never should have had guns. Officials are looking into if he had the guns legally. We are expecting a briefing from officials at 10 00 this morning. We have chosen to extend the 9 to bring you the briefing to you live on ktvu. Our question of the day is tied to all of this. Should the Mass Shootings like the ones in las vegas, texas and Tehama County be considered terrorism. Here are the results so far. 84 say yes. 16 say no. So many tweets, including this one from tom weber, quote, i think calling them terrorists oversimplifies a simple issues. It makes us victims and throw up our arms and ask what can we do when there is something that we can do about Mass Shootings, whether it is gun control, Mental Health care, et cetera. Yes, i have noticed when the shooter is a person of color, particularly middle eastern, it is always labeled terrorism. These people did the same thing, domestic terrorism. Another viewer says terrorism is determined not entirely without motive. To invite fear or anger for some kind of purpose, it is hard to call it terrorism. Mass murder, absolutely. But terrorism has a specific definition. It has to have an aim. Clearly many of you are thinking and talking about this. We appreciate your responses. We will share more with you at 9 30. Switching to a local topic that may be on the minds of a lot of people. Thats the rain approaching. It might make for a tough commute this evening and tomorrow morning. Not only that, you you are starting to get for the burn areas yes. Weve had light rain. This could easily go over two and a half to three for some of the areas as the front has everything going for it. By far and away the best system that we have had for moisture and rainfall. Not the best for the conditions but it will give a couple of inches of rain. It has already produced. 4 of an inch of rain in cazadero. The snow level will be high up in the sierra. Winter storm warning starts in an hour and goes through 4 00 a. M. Friday. Thats how serious they are. I have seen about a five to sevenday outlook for some of the Feather River and canyon areas of the sierra of almost a foot of liquid precip. That wont all be snow but there will be a lot of wet snow. It will start high and come down. Probably not until late tonight or tomorrow morning. So far the focus has been mainly Sonoma County and napa county. There has been rain to the south. There is even a little bit out to the east bay w livermore, the 580 and towards highway 4 and mount diablo. So far it is all about cazadero, santa rosa airport, Sonoma County, and forestville. 40,. 40,. 34. This isnt even the front. This is rain out ahead of it and giving them that steady rain. Theres going to be a lot more rain with the front that comes in later. Youre working from napa northward. Could easily get two and a half. Would not be surprised if three fell in the russian river. So there will be hefty totals. Areas to the south may have to wait a little bit, as in tonight or maybe even tomorrow morning. There are projections for Santa Cruz Mountains of four inches of rain. We have to keep an eye out for the burn areas. A wind advisory kicks in at 1 00. The flash flood watches start at 4 00, but we can certainly mention them right now. Youre getting rain around santa rosa. That is an area of concern. They could easily get two and a half out of that. In the sierra, it will be above 7,000 to 8,000 feet. Eventually it will get down to lake level. There is a lot of rain mainly at lake level, lower elevations until later on. So look for light rain to moderate rain for some. To the south, not that much. The system is on its way. As it deepens, it will tap into the moisture and spread to moderate to even maybe heavy rain tonight and tomorrow morning. The south bay may be dealing with more of the heavy rain than the north because the front will have gone through by then. It is on its way. This system will leavism press i have totals for everybody here. Impressive totals for everybody here. Highs in the 50s and 60s. Get ready for the next two days. I think rainfall concerns are certainly in the picture here. Okay. Steve, thank you. Yeah. The search is on for a man that police are calling a violent psycho path. He escaped from a hospital in hawaii and flew right here to the bay area. Allie rasmus has more on the search and how the manmade it out of hawaii right here to the bay area. Reporter yes. Well, agents with the fbi and u. S. Marshals service were here yesterday afternoon. They had a chance to look at Surveillance Video that the airport provided them. Authorities are not providing any clues about what was seen in the video or what clues they have at this point as to the where abouts of this man theyre looking for. That is randall sato. He is from hawaii. He boarded a plane from maui on a Hawaiian Airlines flight. He was commitsed to the hospital decades ago for the brutal and random murder of a woman back in 1979. He was acquitted of that murder by reason of insanity. He has been in a Mental Hospital since then. But he was allowed to roam the grounds of the hospital freely as long as he periodically checked in with staff. Theyre not just locked up. Theyre not just subject to treatment or given medication. But theyre given opportunities to pursue individual interests and individual activities. Reporter his interests apparently included hopping on board two planes to escape the hospital. He didnt check in with Hospital Personnel on sunday. He instead got into a taxi to take a chartered flight to maui. This is video released by the tack ecab company. He paid for the taxi and plane ride in cash. He had already purchased his ticket online before he got in the cab, raising the question about whether he had help executing his escape. Again, federal agents reviewed the Surveillance Video here yesterday at San Jose International airport. Theyre not telling us what may have been seen in the video. He is about six feet tall, 220 pounds. He is considered dangerous with psychopathic tendencies. Do not approach the man on your own. Call authorities. The latest reports is authorities is that authorities believe he has family in the bay area. Thank you, allie. Continuing now with our coverage of the deadly shooting in Tehama County. Alex savidge is live there near the Elementary School where 24 hours ago a violent scene right there. Reporter yeah. Good morning to you, mike. This is one of a number of crime scenes here in this small Rural Community of rancho tehama. This is the Elementary School that the gunman targeted yesterday. He actually crashed through the fence here at this small campus. And you can see this morning he opened fire on a number of these classrooms. Those are windows that have been boarded up after being shot out during the deadly rampage yesterday. Two students were wounded by the gunfire here. According to authorities, it was the quick thinking of all of the teachers and the staff here that prevented more people being hut or killed and prevented what could have been a massacre here at this school. As soon as teachers and staff heard gunfire nearby as the rampage was unfolding in the small community, they immediately brought all of the kids from the yard into the classrooms and they locked those doors. They went into lockdown mode immediately, without having to be told to do so by law enforcement. And that may have made all the difference. The gunman showed up here on the campus. Again, crashed through that fence. And then he started firing into the classrooms, through the windows, through the walls, as teachers and students were hiding out, trying to keep themselves safe. Eventually because the gunman could not get into any of the locked classrooms, he got back into his truck and he drove away from this campus. And then at that point, continued on this rampage, which, again, lasted for about 45 minutes or so. He was shooting at people at random on the streets. He was also firing into random homes. Again, when it was all said and done, the gunman shot and killed four people and left 10 others injured. We are here where local officials will be holding a News Conference at 10 00. Were expecting to get more information on this investigation. Alex, i know in the last hour, you talked about reports of possibly a history of Mental Illness involving the gunman. At this point today, have you heard maybe we will find out at the News Conference, if the guns he used were actually registered to him . Reporter i think that is still part of the investigation. Okay. Reporter trying to figure out whose weapons they were. They did recover, my understanding, an Assault Rifle that was used during this attack, as well as a couple of handguns. Theyre trying to determine who those weapons belong to. Thats obviously part of the investigation. But, you know, you talk about the the Mental Illness that the gunmans family says that he suffered from. There were there are relatives some of his relatives have been quoted in some reports out there that basically say that this is a person that should not have had weapons. Should not have been allowed to own weapons given the Mental Illness that he suffered from and the fact that he went into violent fits of rage, according to relatives. That may be more of the information that we get from authorities when they hold the update later on this morning at 10 00. Thank you, alex. We will have that briefing for you as we extend the 9 to bring that to you. Seeing the plywood on the door of the portable classroom really sends it home.

It will have 13 residential Studio Spaces and five accessory Studio Spaces and a large dance floor, rehearsal space, a workshop. She was part of an Art Collective at another warehouse evicted by their landlord immediately after the ghost ship fire took 36 lives. What were trying to do is shift the paradigm so that people can develop spaces like this and work with the city. Reporter this first of its kind project is the exception, not the rule. With numerous People Living in nonpermitted commercial spaces, two men are offering support. Right after the fire we got requests for help from people who lived in spaces that they were concerned about. We started helping spaces conform. Helping spaces become safer. Were trying to protect low income communities. Reporter david and Jonas Strauss are among the volunteers. I cant tell you how many tons of dump runs people did directly in correlation to the fallout from ghost ship. The number of fire extinguishers that were hung up in spaces, the number of exit signs that were permanently installed. Reporter strauss is executive director of the oakland warehouse coalition. He advocates for affordable, alternative housing and pushes for changes to the policy. Keenan founded safer diy spaces. They tell residents what is wrong, what needs improvement and they refer tenants or owners to contractors who work pro bono or at reduced rates. Can you get out safely if there is a fire. Reporter it is not just warehouses but store fronts, mobile homes, converted basements or garages. Any space being used as a residence built without a permit. We have seen 70 buildings worked with and assisted about 70 buildings since december of last year. Reporter of those buildings they say only one has entered into a Compliance Plan with the city of oakland because of what they call unrealistic and stringent current code standards. In order to do any kind of code compliance measures, a structure must be totally vick ated which equals displatement. Reporter at the beginning of the year, the mayor issued a executive order to prevent unnecessary displacement. The men say city leaders are supporter of making spaces safer but the order has been averagely ignored by building enforcement. They are going to find that same rent at a worse place that is even more at risk. The code needs to be change to prioritize life safety. Reporter a recent report released by the city of oakland shows investigators have looked into 32 properties suspected of being unpermitted residences. 21 are working with the city to get up to code but tenants have been evicked from five properties. In many cases, the tenants can do the required work themselves instead of being kicked out. A lot of folks are scared. Not only of code enforcement, not only the cops but the city in general. Rutherford doesnt want to live in fear which is why she says this project is so important. We have been really happy working with city officials. It seems like they want to use this project as kind of a flag ship, an example for how we can move forward with project types similar to this. Reporter and for now, keenan and strauss keep pushing for change to protect tenants while working to keep them safe in the places that they call home. Our number one goal is to make those spaces safer. Reporter reporting in oakland, cristina rendon, ktvu fox 2 news.

Sfo Officials Say this friday will probably be one of the busiest travel day of the season so far this year. 170,000 passengers are expected to arrive and depart from San Francisco airport the day after tomorrow.

Hey, mike, sal, gasia, ill send it back to you. Thank you, dave. More lawsuits against pg e are being filed in connection with the north bay wildfires. Lawyers representing people who lost homes claim their Research Shows the disaster was caused by power lines touching trees and brush. They went through call records from the weekend when the fire started and found Power Outages were reported in the areas of the tub fires in sonoma tubbs fire in Sonoma County. There were calls talking about equipment problems, transformer explosions, transformer fires. Downed power lines. Severed utility poles. Arcing power lines and flames in trees. Cal fire has not announced an official cause for any of the north bay wildfires. But lawyers say they had to filed the lawsuits to legally get information that they say will show that pg e was negligent and is not being transparent about what happened. Two of the plaintiffs by the way are former San Francisco mayor frank jordan and his wife whose window i have in santa rosa was destroyed in the fires. Pg e released a statement saying, quote, nothing is more important to us than the safety and well being of our customers and the communities we certain. Our thoughts are with those impacted by the wildfires. The north bay got rain earlier than expected. Our crews are in napa valley where the rain started coming down around 3 30 this morning. Leigh martinez is in napa where they are concerned about the rain coming down so soon after the wildfires. Reporter yes. Luckily were not getting rained on right now. Were at the county publics works building where i spoke to the supervisor who was going into a meeting about the rain. The concern is that the rain that we might get today may trigger either flash floods or landslides in some of the areas that were just scorched by the wildfires earlier this year. The city of napa is not issuing sand bags yet. It is waiting on a call from the National Weather service. It is supposed to happen around 10 00 this morning. Napa county however does have them and there are seven locations set up. Most are volunteer Fire Departments for locals to pick up free sand bags. The National Weather service said yesterday that four inches could drop in the north bay. The city of santa rosa was already in process of fixing sections of the storm drain system that may have been compromised after the tubbs fire. Youre looking at video from the city. In sonoma and napa counties places like Fountain Grove and atlas peak that were stripped of plants from the wildfires are susceptible to flooding. People are warned to be ready to evacuated if there are problems with the rain. If anyone sees evidence of buckled roads, sink holes, flooding or mudslides, call 911 right away. Now, the county says the good news is that the ground is not saturated. So homeowners can really get ahead of this by putting sand bags out now. They can curb some of the erogues that may happen because of the rain. They are encouraging people to be careful on the roads too. The wildfires have changed the roads as they go around taking down dead trees and other tree thats were compromised. Because we havent had heavy rains yet, they dont know what areas are susceptible to erosion or anything else. So be cautious when youre driving around today. Thank you, leigh. There is another way to support the survivors of the north bay fires and the First Responders who saved many lives and homes. Visit california is hosting a benefit different.

It is right on sort of the county line between napa and sonoma. It is right above sears point. It will be an amazing location. Special event. A chance to get together and show our gratitude for our neighbors in the bay area and wine country and have a chance to celebrate. If you dont mind me asking, what kind of dishes will be there. We finished the menu yesterday. It will be exciting. Were going to bus folks in because so many people coming together. Theyre going to get a champagne greet. Horderves and soup stations because it may be chilly. Were going to serve four courses. A sonoma organic wild turkey. With citrus butter and roasted carrots and a lamb dish with roasted cauliflower. And were also doing a Butternut Squash risotto. And pumpkin keep talking about it. Keep going. We finished the menu yesterday. It will be great. It is a chance to get together and share our gratitude and raise money before the Holiday Season gets started. This is a very napa way of doing raising money. Were so lucky in a way that we have you have the organic turkey, for example. Thats right. Local ingredients. I guess were lucky to have all of the resources that you will use to make your meal. Thats one of the great things about being a chef in Northern California. I was a chef in new york city for a long time before he moved here in 2007. And, you know, new york city is amazing but there is a deep connection with food sources here in Northern California that i have fell in love with. Not only the relationship with the suppliers in the region who produce some of the most amazing food ive ever tasted but our beloved wine region. We want to show that california that were here to stay and were going to come back stronger than ever and show the world that we are california strong. You were listing the menu. I read an article in forbes that you were quoted in saying recipes are dead. You dont rely on them anymore. Is that true . Is what i was reading true . You are a chef. It is a whole different conversation about like recipe development. I think we live in a technological age where i feel like recipes are about as useful as a paper map these days considering how technological apps can be to get you through a meal in the kitchen. I think it is an interesting point of view. Yes. I work with a couple of Tech Companies here in the bay area. As for the benefit, did visit california knock on your door . Did you come to them. I have been working with visit california for a couple years. I was a spokesperson for tourism in california 2016. We are filming a documentary about the entire experience called uncrushable. So all of the folks that get a chance to come to is that the commercials that you see with arnold and joe montana that area all over the country. They are all over the country and all over the world. I think it is important that we we tell the world that california is open for business. And the wine country is open for business. If we could talk about that. Certainly here in the bay area we have talked a lot about it was never closed down. We will be right back sign on the front door. You have incredible international reach. How do you think that napa, sonoma, mendocino counties need to work to get the message out. Its really important that if you if you have a chance in the next couple of weekends, go up to wine country. Go have lunch, go for a drive. Go and book go book a spa appointment. Go to a local hotel in wine country and just be there. There is a Beautiful Energy when people show up at a tasting room, at a beautiful winery and have that experience. And i think it is really important that we go back there as fast as possible. Just to kind of tell the world and the community. Because it is such a vital part of our economy.

Four having me. When it comes to holidays, my number one focus is family. Is there such a thing as too much family. There is. Family is the number one way to decrease your stress and increase your happiness. If youre able to create connection, that is the number one determination of happiness across age groups and cultures. Families and holidays are a great way to create that connection. Maybe it is not your family. Maybe it is your neighbors or work colleagues, a nonprofit. Feeling like youre part of something bigger than you, destresses you and makes you feel at ease. I feel like family is almost like an injection. In order to get out of this place, this is stress. So when i go back for the holidays or whether it is at our house or one of my siblings homes, it gives me that extra to be a little more productive at work, more energy. Definitely. It increases resilience. Thats good. When you have create connection, we release a hormone. And that actually increases trust, empathy, our ability to offer help and ask for help. And so it sort of reinforces resilience and decreases stress because we actually when we have a moment to connect with people, our family, we actually receive that physical benefit as well. Right.

Dont be too heavy handed with your opinions. For sure. I mean, were having such different time, right, in our world. And people have really different views. I think what is most important is for you to decide who you want to be in the moment. They call this self defining moments. Determine how you want to show up. Do you want to be the one who is creating the connection or do you want to be the one who is the funny one . Do you want to bring everyone together . Do you want to bring in the fa eight . Determine who you want to be in advance and that will be your north star and guide you through that evening. Even if youre triggered by the family or, you know, your crazy aunt is asking you challenges questions, political questions. It is okay not to go to everything. You can opt out if it is not best for you. It is important to bypass the burnout that we all experience. There is so much coming at us. We have work and everything else. Determine what you want. Be selective. Plan the activities that have the highest value for you and plan for that downtime. We think were machines but we really need downtime and breaks. You say youre a machine. Should we multi task or not . No multi tasking. It increases the time that it completes by 25 or even up to 75 . If youre playing that video in the background while youre texting and trying to make thanksgiving dinner, it will take that much longer. Try to focus on one thing, especially during the holidays. It will make you more effective. And get sleep. It reduces stress and makes you better able to cope with challenges. Quality, not quantity. Yes. Always a pleasure to have you. Happy holidays. Happy holidays. We will be right back. You are going to hawaii for thanksgiving. I am.
