It has restaurants and stores on the ground level and the building runs along 2 3 of that block. Everyone made it out safely.

No injuries have been reported, and the cause of that initial Dumpster Fire is under investigation. This afternoon, San Jose Police continue to investigate a shooting that left two people dead and four others injured. This happened during a vigil at about 10 00 last night on south 8th street, two blocks away from the San Jose State University campus. Jesse gary joining us now live. Jesse, police have not made any arrests in this case yet. Alex, thats correct. No arrests right now. The San Jose Police department preparing to reopen the 600 block of south 8th street, just waiting for the crime scene technicians to finish up their work at the scene. There is not a description of e used for the getaway. Those descriptions remain with the victims of this attack. I was just sitting in my room, and just working on my laptop, heard five shots go off. Then heard a bunch of screaming. Reporter neighbors say shortly before shots rang out around 10 00 tuesday night, a Candlelight Memorial Service was being held in the 600 block of south 8th street near reed street. At least one car was heard speeding from the scene. Six were hit by gunfire, leaving two dead and four injured. I was inside, but i heard the gunshots. I came to my porch and checked it out. When i walked out, i saw a car take off. Reporter detectives say it was a call for service to the same area 90 minutes before the shooting, but arriving officers at the time found nothing. Were looking into that, as well, to see if its related to the 10 00 call. There were no victims or any indication of something happening with that 8 30 call. Reporter the shooting took place a few blocks from the San Jose State University campus. Some neighbors say violence in an area populated by College Students, recent graduates, and families, is not uncommon. Sadly like kind of typical. There are things that happen around this neighborhood. Im not shocked by it, but its pretty crazy that something was shot. Reporter the police chief email add statement to fox 8 saying in part because the area is locationed in the campus, u monitoring the situation and performing extra patrol checks in the neighborhood. It sucks because it is in our neighborhood. This is not the type of community we want to live in. Weve learned the candlelight vigil that people were attendling last night was for a man killed in an accident on the 101 freeway. San jose police do not believe that accident is connected to the shooting, which raises the question what prompted the shooting. Names of the victims will be released once next of kin are notified. This is the citys 27th and 28th homicide of 2020. Well update you again coming up in the next hour. Jesse gary, ktvu fox 2 news. Now to the very latest on the coronavirus. The Trump Administration today outlining a new plan on how it will make a covid19 vaccine available for free to all americans after one is approved. Officials with the cdc said within 24 hours of that vaccine receiving emergency authorization, it will be transported to Distribution Sites across the u. S. The vaccine will be distributed in four phases with healthcare workers, the elderly, and those with Underlying Health conditions getting vaccinated first. Joining us to talk more about this plan and Vaccine Development is ucf Infectious Disease specialist. Thank you doctor for being here. The cdc said it anticipating a vaccine will initially be granted an emergency use authorization before a full formal approval. Can you explain the difference between these two processes . Yes, thanks for having me on. Emergency use is given in the context as the name suggests of be a emergency it doesnt alway the same level of scrutiny of data before it is given. Remdesivir, the trial, there was an emergency use authorization before a cart blanche fda approval. Which requires a Regulatory Commission meeting. Seethe fasttrack that fda sort of approval, but not full clearance. I you to explain the main objectives here. We know in the begin, quantities of a vaccine are going to be limited. Yes, so the main objectives of the distribution are first of all to give a premium for rapid distribution from the time its approved, to the arm of somebody. And thats easier said than done. First of all, you have to figure out who to give it to. How are you going to transport that, because the top three vaccinings all require extensive cold chain, and not regular refrigeration, but requires in some cases up to negative 70 degrees celsius. So if youre thinking about going to walgreens to get it, theyre going to have very specific freezers that are equipped to handle the storage of these vaccines. And then even though its free, you have to worry about whether or not people are going to trust the data and get the vaccine, you know, given the Public Discourse thats going on currently. Yeah, we know that confidence is something that is questionable right now. We know that several companies, doctor, are working on a vaccine. Is there a potential here for more than one vaccine to be approved . Yes. I mean, there is the potential for more than one vaccine to be approved. It will be kind of a weird thing, because usually when we have had a flu shot, you dont have to decide which one are you going to get. The fact that several vaccines may come out at the same time, you know, if they are generally the same in terms of efficacy, they will help with just making sure a lot of people get vaccines, although its usual lay twoshot series, so if you have one of one vaccine, you have 20 to make the same one f shot. And if they have Different Levels of efficacy, i think it will be difficult to choose one or the other. In most instances, the government chooses just one vaccine. This may be a kind of unprecedented response in having several come off the block, but thats really just distribution, to make sure a lot of people can get access to a vaccine, regardless of what type it is. Yeah, and obviously that is the goal. Dr. Peter chen hong, really appreciate it. Interesting that were talking about a vaccine as today the head of the cdc said that really a mask may be better at preventing covid19 than a vaccine. Well be talking about that later on. Really appreciate your time. Thank you. Youre welcome. Well today Governor Newsom said california is turning a corner when it comes to reducing the spread of the coronavirus.
