have been there all morning with more on the people who chased down the suspected car thief. good morning. >> reporter: yeah. good morning, dave. we moved back to give you a perspective on this. it happened at north steel and north coast in santa rosa. it looks like a santa rosa crew arrived on scene to prepare the street light that was knocked down, possibly to clear the debris still here on the road. we are hearing from family members overnight that this all started as an auto theft and turned into a high speed pursuit through the streets of santa rosa leaving a man injured and a car in flames. here is what we know so far. sometime after midnight the victims heard a noise outside of their home on rhianna street in santa rosa. when they looked outside, they saw somebody breaking into and stealing their white dodge charger. the car took off and the two men from the home mopped into a vehicle and began tailing the car. the chase took them through the streets of santa rosa reportedly at high speeds. santa rosa police say at times the speeds reached 100 miles per hour. the car owner says they lost sight of the charger but then heard a loud crash. they found that the white dodge charger had crashed into six other vehicles, causing one to catch on fire. the driver was thrown from the car and was unresponsive at the scene and transported to an area hospital. at this point we don't have an update on the driver's condition. police say they have not been able to talk to them so they have not yet been able to identify him. coming back to the live picture you can see that santa rosa public works crew beginning the work of clearing some of the debris. keep in mind there were six vehicles that were struck in all by the dodge charger. this is just some of the debris that is left over from that crash. if we take a look over to the right, you can also see there is a power pole that was knocked down. this gives you a sense of how violent the collision was, just how high a rate of speed the car may have been going. we're hoping to get more details on this throughout the day. as we get more information, we will bring that information to you. >> all right. christien kafton in santa rosa, thank you. there is a new battle over columbus day, one day after san fern voted to rename it indigenous people day. the new name they're proposing. the new movie black panther

reportedly the couple is expecting a baby. 19-year-old daniel gross and his fiance melissa leonardo were back in court yesterday. they did not enter a plea to charges of murder for the stabbing death of their friend, 19-year-old lizette cuesta. leonardo's lawyers says he just met his clients and doesn't want to talk about the specifics of the case until he receives evidence from the district attorney. >> she is scared and frightened by all of this. this is a terrible situation for her. she is not someone who an ongoing -- she doesn't interact with the criminal justice system on a regular basis. this is new to her. >> he reports that daniel gross admitted to stabbing the victim more than two dozen times. gross says he acted in self defense. protesters have been taking to the streets of los angeles after dozens of ice raids have been reported in the area in the past week. already at least 100 people have been arrested. yesterday members of the group not one more deportation gathered to protest the federal raid and demand action to stop them. federal immigration agents have visited 122 southern california businesses so far. and they say they're forced to make more arrests because local police do not cooperate with them. the fate of thousands of young undocumented immigrants remains in question after the u.s. senate rejected four proposals to extend the daca program. one of the proposals backed by president trump was defeated by 21 votes. it would have funded the border wall, promised immigration for dreamers. a separate bipartisan member fell six shorts of passing. it would have also kept the visa lottery program in tact. the time is 7:15. some italian americans in san francisco are launching a campaign to reverse a decision by the board of supervisors to rename columbus day as indigenous peoples day. the name change was approved saying they wanted to honor the native-americans who's were already here when christopher columbus arrived. now there is a signature collecting campaign to put a measure on the november ballot to reclaim the former columbus day as italian american heritage day. they want a day to honor the contributions of italian americans. thousands of children across the country are getting free tickets to get one of the most anticipated movies of the year, black panther, which debuts in theaters today. >> i waited my entire life for this. >> the world is going to start over. >> marvel fans are expected to fill theater seats to see black panther, including children being treated to the action film through the viral hashtag black panther challenge. it is a crowd sourcing effort to get the children to see the film for free. it was brought to the sacramento area by a former sacramento state university football player. >> i want everybody to walk away from there and -- and, you know, have a different view of what a superhero looks like. >> they're like really brave. and they show you like even though you're a different color, you can still be a superhero. >> the movie is expected to make up to $140 million this weekend alone, which would set a box office record. >> it is big. by the way the director of black panther is a native of oakland, ryan kruger. >> he is very young. >> very young and doing very well. >> okay. the time is 7:17. sal is right over here watching our commute. how do we look? >> we're okay. we actually have commutes that are a little better than normal which is usually the case with friday. it is a holiday weekend for a lot of people. a lot of people will be hitting the road this afternoon. just don't be surprised by huge delays trying to get out of san francisco, for example, or out of the bay area in general. this evening. westbound 80 carquinez bridge to the maze, 90 minutes. it has been normal slow traffic here at the bay bridge. nothing lighter than usual. 880 seems a little better driving up past the coliseum and getting to downtown oakland. on the peninsula we had an earlier crash at anza. they cleared it but traffic is slow in san mateo. it is getting better. and 280 is the freeway to use to void the whole thing. the peninsula and 101 still looking good. a little slowing on 101. definitely lighter than usual in san jose and the silicon valley this morning. 7:18, let's go back to steve. >> all right, sal. thank you, sir. mostly clear skies out there. it will be a nice day. it is cold this morning. bless you, gasia. we have 30s and 40s and 20s to the north. lots of sun and a little warmer. i think our best opportunity to get near 70 would be tomorrow. but, boy, after that, on sunday, cold front. actual cold front comes through and temperatures will drop big time sunday. now, once the wind monday and tuesday dies down, then we could have critical minimums. we wish it would rain. there's been no rain now for 22 days. january 25th the last one. that's a long stretch. it is. but it is nowhere close to a record. using san francisco data, on mid winter dry spells there is twice in san francisco where the dry spell reached 43 days. 1864. and in 2014 to 2015, that is one and two right there. the 27th dryest was 23 days in 1852. we will tie that tomorrow. there is a possibility maybe that we could get a little precip on sunday. very little, as in .01. it looks like we will have to bank on a miracle march. february 2006, not a bad month, 5.21. march was off the chart there. 8.74. the last really dry one, february 1995 when only a quarter inch fell. march 1995, 7.88. there is a possibility and a history there. any precip coming in the which is stem sunday? maybe a little bit to the north. there is a .07 forecast for ukiah and .01 for san francisco. if it does fall, it will be very light. we need widespread rain. there is no sign of that until maybe the 25th. and 30s and 40s or not the -- on the temps. 40s on the coast. overall lots of sunshine today and tomorrow. then the front sweeps through on sunday. so upper 60s for some today. and then a cold windy pattern develops sunday and monday. get ready. two extremes here. 60s on the temps. these are all above average temps. we continue the theme into saturday. then get ready on sunday, gasia, to bundle up. >> i'm making beef stew on sunday. can't wait. the recall underway that is affecting several types of dog food. also, how much money do you think the average household needs to make to afford buying a house in san francisco? $100,000, $200,000? $300,000? keep going. we'll give you that number in just a minute. ♪[music] >> is there a more well known introduction? ♪ someone told me long ago ♪ >> john fogerty on vocals. have you ever seen the rain? well, maybe last year. this is a request interest jeff todd off of our twitter page. our theme today is rain songs. we want it to rain. we need the rain. if there's a special song that you want to hear, let us know. i will play your requests. usually we have a theme on friday morning. just use the #ktvu on twitter, instagram and facebook. here we go. >> have we ever seen the rain? the time is 7:24. the median price of a home in san francisco just hit a new record high. we're going to break down the numbers on how much you need to earn to buy a house. also the list of stocks to watch today might make you hungry or in our case hungrier. pam cook is back with today's dollars and cents. >> campbell's soups and shake shack continued to go up. we have a fun opening bell for you. if you zoom in there you will see ringing the bell, flynn ringing the bell. he is the west minister kennel club winner this year. high five for flynn. hopefully he brings luck and good trading today. checking in on the numbers so far, it looks pretty good. no huge swings so far which is nice to not have the val tilt. here is a live look at the dow jones. up about a quarter of a percent. 25,250. the nasdaq is up a bit as well. the s&p 500 up almost a quarter percent to 2734. well, how much money do you need to make to buy a home in san francisco? according to the california association of realtors, more than $300,000 a year. the median price of a single- family home in san francisco is now $1.5 million for the median home. you figure a 20% down payment, monthly payments would come in at more than $7,500 a month. now, another study find that's only 12% of households can actually afford that payment. it is still more than during the 2007 housing crisis though when only 8% of people were able to afford a median priced home. smuckers is pulling back shipments of popular dog food. it tested positive for traces of a drug that is used to euthanize animals. now, the shipments were several varieties of canned gravy train, cables and bits, ol roy dog food and skippy dog food. no trace is permitted in pet foods. smuckers is looking into how it ended up in the pet food. it is focusing on a supplier of a minor ingredient used at one of the manufacturing facilities. do you remember sir citrus heights e? it has pushed back the launch of its new website. the ceo said the company would debut a new e-commerce site on february 15th. as of this morning, the website still has a message that says the launch has been delayed. the company says the delay will give them time to reinforce the site due to, quote, an overwhelming amount of preliminary traffic. so probably a lot of people interested in seeing circuit city. it closed all of its stores back in 2009 after filing for bankruptcy. i had forgotten about sir kit city. >> same thing here. >> yeah. >> they're trying to launch the e-site and bring in comtuesday tommers, to compete with best buy and everyone else. >> the name has been quiet for ten years. >> they are generating a lot of interest. we will continue to follow it. >> thank you, pam. the time is 7:27. we're also still following the florida school shooting massacre. how we're finding out about how the alleged shooter bought his gun and the call for action from lawmakers. >> reporter: two days after the shooting in florida, oakland unified school district is having active shooter training for all of its teachers and staff members today. ♪ they're super... ...but they can fly. ♪ united. helping superheroes fly. >> it is 7:30. welcome back this friday morning, february 16th. i'm gasia mikaelian. >> and good morning. i'm dave clark. it is a chilly friday morning. steve paulson is over here in his office. >> it is cold and it is going to get colder. the days won't be bad. but this morning, 30s and 40s and a few 20s. hillsberg, that is east hillsberg, 28. kelseyville, 29. sebastopol, 29. and sonoma, i saw a 30. 60s to almost 70 today. a lot of sun and warmer today into saturday. a big drop as a cold front swings through on sunday. that will drop temperatures 10 to 15 degrees by monday. napa airport subpoena 31. brentwood, 38. fairfield, 35. 33 at stanford. 39, san rafael. low 30s, below freezing, san martine and gilroy. felton, 31. campbell, santa clara at 35. it is cold. it will be sunny. it is a day of layers here. the mornings are cold but the afternoons are not bad. the temp drops fast even though we warm up into the 60s. windy and colder sunday and into monday, with highs in the 50s monday. 7:32. sal is here to tell us that the traffic is -- >> it is okay. >> not friday light by friday moderate. >> yeah. friday moderate. there are some commute that's are lighter than usual. there are commute that's are busy. i'll show you 80 westbound from the carquinez bridge to the maze. 20 minutes. that is a pretty good time for that commute. sometimes we're up to 30 or 40. on really bad days we're up to an hour commute. today it is 20 minutes. when you get to the bay bridge, it is not even backed up to the 880 overcrossing. today being the friday before a holiday weekend, president's day, many people will be on the road going out of town. it starts around midday. people are getting out of town on 80, 580, wherever they're going. just be aware of that. this is a look at interstate 880 in oakland. traffic here is moving along well. no problems on the san mateo or dumbarton bridge. still a little bit of congestion on 101 through san mateo because of an earlier crash. the rest of the peninsula commute looks good. 7:33. let's go back to the desk. >> thank you, sal. just about an hour ago, president trump confirmed that he will be meeting with families of the victims of the high school shooting. the president tweeted i will be leaving for florida today to meet with some of the bravest people on earth but people's whose lives have been shattered. i am also working with congress on many fronts. we're learning more about the florida school shooting after the accused shooter, 19-year- old nikolas cruz appeared in court. reportedly he confessed to the shooting and is now on suicide watch. his lawyers say he clearly shows signs of some degree of autism and has suffered from mental health problems for a long time. >> he is sad. he is mournful. he is remorseful. he is fully aware of what is going on. and he's just a broken human being. >> now, cruz is being held without bail. the attorney general says prosecutors will be seeking the death penalty. it is 7:34. here at home, oakland unified school district will be holding active shooter training today, just two days after the florida high school shooting. >> ktvu's leigh martinez is live at coal elementary school. tell us more about the active shooter training that teachers and staff are getting today. >> reporter: the school district calls this critical training. they have had in training course on the books for months now. oakland unified schools receives training each year on what to do if there is an active shooter at the school. the next training is scheduled for today, just two days after 17 adults and students were killed at stoneman douglas high school in florida. it will teach staff how to deal with an active shooter on campus. the characteristics of active shooters, how they choose their targets and what to do when a shooting happens. chief gordon says educators need to make a decision to either run, hide or fight. >> once you hide, in essence, lock the door and hunker down, you're stuck there until law enforcement comes in. prior to columbine, what would happen is police would show up and form a plan what they're going to do and ultimately make entry into the school to take care of the threat. after columbine, we found out that was disastrous because as they formed a plan, kids were getting shot. if two officers show up at a school and there is an active shooter we don't have time nor will we stand around waiting for reinforcements. we have to go into the location. having your local police officers is helpful too because they know the schools and the classrooms. >> reporter: oakland has its own independent police department in the school district. the next closest is stockton. at police headquarters, officers also monitor security cameras posted at all campuses. now, roughly 20 to 30 different educators will be taking part in this training today. it will start at 9:00 this morning and go on until noon. back to you guys. >> leigh, it doesn't sound like there are children involved in the drill, are there? >> reporter: no they have separate drills for students. this one is just for educators. it will be look a powerpoint presentation and a discussion. >> so much to tackle on the subject. thank you. straight to the question of the day which is in light of the recent mass shooting in florida, do you think more security measures should be added to schools across the bay area? 76% of you say yes. 24% say no. let us know by voting on the ktvu twitter page and leaving comments on the ktvu facebook page. frank mallicoat once again taking the question of the day on the road. we find him in walnut creek with what people have to say. frank. >> reporter: good morning, gasia. we're at mel's diner. i'm talking to scotty who is app engineer and enjoying breakfast this morning. what is your take, in light of what happened a few days ago. do we need more security measures at our schools in the bay area. >> i really struggle with that. i have a couple kids of my own. dealing with the emotions of it, i -- i obviously want the kids to be protected. but the idea of adding more -- you know, more weapons on top of weapons is not the right solution. we have to control what we have out there now. >> reporter: we know what happened after 9/11 with airport security. are we heading that way with schools, metal detectors or force to keep kids safe. what do you think? >> a lot of people agree with that plan. i'm not one of them. people would go with more security is better. no matter what. there is always a need for more. >> reporter: okay. i know in oakland they're doing drills today. have your kids gone through anything like that in the schools in the east bay. >> i'm not sure. not that they have told me be. >> reporter: and how have you reacted to this the last couple of days, especially with grammar school kids and a child in junior high? >> i have to say that i'm kind of numb to it. it happens so frequently these days that i -- i'm kind of numb to it. it is just another one unfortunately. >> reporter: and do you worry that something like that could happen at a school here in the bay area? >> i mean, we all worry about it. but i don't dwell on it. it is a -- the odds are so small with the number of people in our country. even though this happens from the news standpoint we hear about it frequently but it doesn't happen in your community very frequently. i worry about it a little bit but i don't dwell on it. >> reporter: is there anything that we can do on the local level to protect the kids at the schools? >> you had mentioned in our previous conversation that the idea of having everybody on campus being very focused on who is on campus. certainly anybody who is on campus that doesn't belong there being questioned by everybody around seems like a great way for the community to get involved without weapons being involved to protect their own environment. >> reporter: we're vigilant now but we need to keep it up. >> absolutely. >> reporter: thanks for your thoughts on a tough topic today. we're at mel's diner. we will be back in an hour with more conversations and you can join in on twitter and facebook as well. >> thank you, frank. in broward county florida where the shooting happened, local leaders say it is important that law enforcement has the authority to deal with people who show warning signs. on capitol hill, democrats say it is time for congress to take action. >> people are going to be rightfully so concerned about their rights, as am i. what about the rights of these students? what about the rights of young kids that go to schools with book bags and pencils? don't they have the right to be protected. >> children are dying in our schools, in our communities, on our streets. all that congress has to say is, let's have a moment of silence. >> the atf says about a year ago, cruz, the alleged shooter in florida, legally bought the semi automatic rifle used in the shooting at a store not far from the high school. assembly man ting of san francisco says he will reintroduce legislation that would allow school officials and mental officials to file for gun restraining orders for someone in danger of harming themselves or someone else. current california law only allows family members or police to go to court to force a troubled person to give up their firearms. the governor vetoed it two years ago. but ting says the increase in shootings shows the need for legislation. the time is 7:41. the shooting is also raising questions about the role of social media companies in flagging violent content. about four months ago a video blogger in mississippi says he saw a comment on one of his youtube videos that said i'm going to be a professional school shooter. he flagged that comment and then notified both the fbi and youtube which removed the comment. now, after the shooting, the blogger says the fbi showed up to ask him questions about the comment but they couldn't confirm it was actually made by the suspected shooter. >> i actually didn't make the connection until i asked the fbi what could the shooting have to do with my youtube video? and he said it is the same name and we think it might be the same person. >> a san clara university law professor says one of the biggest challenges in this situation is being able to judge if flagged content is random or an early warning sign of something serious. we are continuing to follow more developments in florida. at 8:00, what we have learned about the victims of the high school shooting and how two school employees stepped up to help save students' lives. and on a lighter note, a flight attendant goes up, up and beyond. up next, what she did to help a fellow mom who was likely at the end of her rope that likely meant a lot to the people on the plane. good morning. that's me on tv. good morning. if you are driving this morning, i think that the commute is just a little better than normal. and some commutes are actually light, which is great news for a friday. but i'll warn you about what will happen this afternoon that could change your plans. at&t has a network with thousands of best-in-class security experts. which means... more of the eye balls you want watching the network... & less of the ones you don't... more experts preventing security issues & less security threats impacting our customers. more of a highly secure network with more security products available for further protection & less per month than comcast for business internet. switch to at&t internet for business. more & less - that's the power of &. >> welcome back to mornings on 2. it is now 7:45. the chp is praising some good samaritans in the east bay who pulled a man out of a burning car on a busy freeway in crockett. it happened yesterday morning on eastbound interstate 80 near the sky way in crockett. look at the pictures. the driver lost control of the car, hit the center divide. the car rolled over and burst into flames. other drivers saw all of this, got out of their cars, pulled the driver out of the wreckage just before the chp got there to put out the fire. the driver, who has serious leg injuries, was rushed to the hospital but is expected to survive. some students and community members are at stanford university planning an event at the site of the 2015 brock turner assault. they want to honor the victims of sexual assault. they will read quotes from emily doe's letter. next friday's event comes after a school group started a petition asking stanford to publicly apologize for rejecting a plaque that was proposed at the site. can we talk about the flu? there is a new report out about the effectiveness of the flu vaccine this year. overall according to researchers, the vaccine is 36% effective. the centers for disease control says it offers limited protection against the many flu viruses spread around the country. the cdc is still saying get the vaccine because it can lessen the symptoms of the flu and reduce the duration. a hawaiian airline flight attendant is being praised for coming to the aid of a mother whose child was crying uncontrollably. this shows what happened during the flight to honolulu. the baby had been crying for half an hour. the mother was at the end of her rope, exhausted after doing everything that she could to sooth the little one. nothing was working for mom, so that is when flight attendant gina reyes stepped? >> i saw a place where i could help. i was rocking and singing to him. i was singing lullabies to him. >> i watched that mom literally lean back in her chair and breathe. >> her coworkers called her mama gina. she has four children herself. she was also a surrogate mother. certainly she has a special touch. >> yeah. you don't know anything about babies crying. >> i have been there. thankfully our crying all night on the plane days are over. sal, as a parent, you know exactly what this other mom or dad is going through. >> before i had kids, i used to be scared of sitting next to them. and now it is cool. you know. >> yeah. >> i have had my own. come sit next to me if you want. i'm all right with it now. let's go out and take a look at 80 westbound if you are driving from the carquinez bridge to the maze. it looks pretty good. there have been

outside, they saw someone apparently breaking into and stealing their white dodge charger. the charger took off and two men from the home hopped into another vehicle and began tailing that car. a chase took them through the streets of santa rosa reportedly at a high rate of speed. santa rosa police say at times, the speeds reached 100 miles per hour. the car's owner lost site of the charger

been able to talk to him and have not yet been able to identify him. one more look. you can see the remains of those six vehicles that were devastated by that crash. and we are hoping to learn more

quarter inch fell. march 1995, just shy of eight inches of rain. 7.88. we still have hope. hang in there, everybody. there could be a .01 in san francisco. if that is the case, it would stop the

there. if you're familiar with it. fire house smog and the gas station is there. so please give yourself extra time. if you're driving on 680 from the benecia bridge down to walnut creek, it looks good. again, just because you see it light right now, i think people are getting ready to leave town. we will see a lot of slow traffic going the other way later on. now back to the desk. earlier this morning president trump confirmed in a tweet that he will be meeting with the families of victims of the florida high school shooting. he tweeted, i will shall leaving for florida today to meet with some of the bravest people on earth. the people whose lives have been totally shattered. i'm also working with congress on many fronts. we're learning new information about the florida school shooting after the shooter nikolas cruz made his first court appearance. he reportedly confessed to the shooting is now on suicide watch. he shows some signs of autism and has suffered from mental health problems for a long time. >> he is sad. he is mournful. he is remorseful. he is fully aware of what is going on. and he's just a broken human being. >> cruz is being held without bail. the attorney general says prosecutors will seek the death penalty. following the shooting, many people are calling for more gun control laws. in broward county, they want law enforcement to deal with people with warning signs. on capitol hill, it is time to take action. >> people will be concerned about their rights, as am i. what will the rights of the students and the young kids that go to schools with book bags and pencils in don't they have the right to be protected? >> children are dying in our schools and our communities, on our streets. all this congress has to say is let's have a moment of silence. >> the atf says about a year ago, cruz legally bought that assault rifle used in the shooting at a store right near the high school. assembly man phil ting of san francisco will reintroduce legislation that would allow coworkers and mental health officials to file for gun restraining orders against someone who may be at risk of harming themselves or someone else. current law only allows family members and police to go to court to force a troubled person to give up firearms. the governor vetoed the measure two years ago but the assembly man says the increase in shootings at workplaces and schools shows there is a need for the new legislation. the oakland unified school district will hold an active shooter training this morning. >> leigh martinez is live to talk about the training that teach everies and staff are getting today. >> reporter: that's right. oakland schools receive training every year on what to do if an active shooter were to come on campus. this training is just for teachers and staff. no students are participating. it was actually on the books scheduled months ago. it will begin at 9:00 and go on until noon today. now, the training will prepare school staff to deal with an active shooter on campus by raising awareness on everything from the characteristics of active shooters, how active shooters choose their targets and what to do when a shooting happens. the chief says that educators need to make a decision to either run, hide or fight. but he says while the training is helpful, disarming a civilian with an assault rifle is the only way to stop an attack. >> the reality is the school in florida had great training. the school in florida was in an affluent neighborhood. they talked about all of the training and policies and procedures they had in place and nothing is going to stop somebody with an assault rifle who is armed to kill human beings. we can't stop them. we didn't stop them in aurora or columbine or las vegas. you're not going to stop someone with an assault weapon that will come in and do damage. all of the metal detectors will stop them. >> reporter: oakland unified has its own independent police department. the next closest is stockton. also at police headquarters, officers monitor security cameras posted at all campuses. now the chief also recommends that parents talk to their children about active shooter situations such as what to do if they are at a mall or a movie theater. what is their plan? are they going to try to high and hunker down? are they going to run or try to engage the shooter, fight for their lives? these are the conversations that parents should be having with their children. this active shooter training will take place today. it starts at 9:00 and goes to noon. just for teachers and staff. none of the students are participating in this one. >> leigh martinez in oakland, thank you. following the shooting in florida, our question of the day is do you think that more security measures should be added to bay area schools. 77% say yes. 23% say no. >> frank mallicoat is live in walnut creek at mel's diner with more on the question of the day. hey, frank. >> reporter: good morning, guys. we are at mel's diner i have a father-son combo enjoying breakfast. this is russell and paul. we have been talking about this. so you're a teacher. you teach at pittsburgh high. >> yes. >> english. what is your take on all of this. do we need more security at that school level? >> i think security will only do so much. it will help ameliorate. but anything short of gun legislation that curbs the availability of guns will not solve the issue. >> there has been some talk about actually arming teachers. >> yeah. i don't believe that is a good idea. >> uh-huh. >> all it takes is just one individual who might not have the right mental health capacity to create another travesty. yeah. i think arming -- having more availability of guns out there is not going to help the
