To suspend oncampus parties. While the latest incidents were at offcampus fraternity homes, its still a cause for concern to the students i spoke to. Its obviously incredibly sad to hear. Reporter the latest case im talking about happened over the weekend and it involved two assaults on females at offcampus fraternity homes over the weekend that led to a voluntary the decision by fraternities and sorority here at cal to suspend oncampus events at least for now. When you look at the most recent stats from the Berkeley Police department, it shows that in 2015, there were a reported 22 rape cases on campus. But those numbers arent directly correlated to frat or Sorority Parties that took place on campus in 2014. For students that are well aware of this issue, they see the decision by their peers as at least a step in the right direction. Im glad theyre taking some time out to step back and think about it and i think its a Good Opportunity to reflect about the kind of cultural awareness that we have as College Students about this issue. I think its the right choice and i think this break should be used to educate those fraternity and Sorority Members and other members on campus who attend these kind of events. Reporter now, we did hear back from the Fraternity Council here on campus and they gave us a statement that they gave to the chapter president. Heres a portion of it. They said, quote, the members of the executive board of the interFraternity Council which to express our condemnation of the vile and unjust incidents that have recently occurred in our community. While we have no reason to believe that these were committed by Fraternity Men on this campus, it is still disheartening and alarming that they have occurred on fraternity property. Now, as a result of all of this, youre going to see campus patrols beefed up around campus. Theres no idea when the suspension will be lifted. But i know that the fraternity and Sorority Councils will meet up to discuss this issue tomorrow. Were live in berkeley, pete suratos, nbc bay area news. Pete, with thank you very much. Allnew at 11 00, a carsized sinkhole is creating problems for drivers in oakland. Our chopper flew over the scene about an hour ago.

This is the latest scandal for a Police Department thats been trying to recover from a debilitating sex abuse investigation and an erosion of public trust. 26yearold officer Ryan Walterhouse is expected in an open courtroom at 2 00 this afternoon. According to court documents, walterhouse informed a sex worker about stings on two different occasions. Oaklands mayor, libby shaft, is infuriated, especially because the city is already dealing with another sex scandal. It is incredibly disturbing that in light of what happened this summer, any officer could think that it was at all acceptable to engage in this type of behavior. Reporter we mentioned, this is just the latest case. The previous one involved a teenager named jasmine and it led to several bay area Police Officers being arrested. Officials say the two cases are not related. Now, there is a shake up in the case regarding jasmine and that sex abuse scandal thats entangled several bay area Police Departments. Late yesterday evening, attorney pamela price says that she is no longer going to be representing the woman at the center of the case. This sex abuse scandal involves dozens of east bay Law Enforcement officers, and in a statement, price says that she believes jasmine deserves a Second Chance at a firstclass life and would never abandon her in that effort.

Again, those changes are in effect for the next two years, while construction workers rebuild terminal one.

You see people standing around their cars. Some folks, right there, went on to the other side of the highway and were taking selfies. This happened in the middle of the evening commute. Lanes in both directions on one of the busiest a highways in the bay area at a standstill for hours along 101 between redwood city in san carlos.

We have new details this morning on a car crash that sent a mother and her three Young Children to the hospital late last night. San ramon police say that a mother slammed into a light pole, you see there, that was near el capitan drive, about 8 15 last night. Her 4yearold son was airlifted to Childrens Hospital in oakland.

Just a short time ago, police told us that alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the crash, but they are still awaiting toxicology test results. A man in the south bay was assaulted for telling a group of guys to be quiet. It all started when he confronted some young men for being loud near his house near walt disney elementary in san ramon.

Reporter the family had been way earlier that day. Scotts elderly mother, francis gray scott, was at home, hobbled by a knee replacement. She was trapped in the fire and died. Scott found her remains. When you see Something Like that and realize what this means to you, all of a sudden, you just lose words. Reporter scott, who was an architect, was the first to rebuild on the hillside and though a quarter century has rolled past, the flames still burn in his mind. That fire could have been prevented and once it started, it could have been stopped. Reporter the fire exposed the weaknesses of the Fire Departments response plan. Firefighting agencies couldnt radio one another. Mutual aid responders couldnt access fire hiydranhydrants. Slow response times allowed the fire to run wild. 3,000 homes were lost in the fire. But had that wind not shifted, the damage would have been much greater. Reporter in the aftermath, john coffman and some 500 area residents founded the fairmont canyon conservesy, devoted to removing nonnative vegetation and increasing safety in the hills. From that situation, weve lepered what to do to prevent future fires from occurring. Reporter since the fire, berkeley and oakland built new firehouses in the hills. Hydrant attachments were standardized, along with communication systems. But coffman says thick woods of nonnative eucalyptus and pine trees still pose a hazard. Those embers would catch on fire and be blown in the wind, which is happened 25 years ago. Reporter fema granted 5. 6 million to east bay agencies to remove the eucalyptus trees, but last month the agency withdrew the funds after some homeowners filed a lawsuit. Its a question of when. The fuel is here, the winds come every fall, and all we need is a match to light it. All these houses are gone. Reporter among those fighting to keep the trees from being cut down is scott. Theres this misconception that the trees started the fire and spread the fire. Neither is true. Reporter at the base of the hills, theres a garden honoring those who lost their lives, including scotts mother.

The latest Winter Weather outlook is renewing drought concerns in california. Noaa is now predicting a weak la nina pattern. If the prediction holds, the western u. S. Would see drier skies than last year. That same pattern would also lead to aboveaverage temperatures. Noaa also says the outlook could shift again before winter arrives. And its kind of interesting, rob, as we talk about theyre forecasting almost a la nina, weve seen more rain this year. For the bay area and california, theres also of nuances the with la nina winters. If its a moderate strength la nina, we see slightly above average rainfall totals.

We had nothing to show for it this time last year, running well above the averages so far and check out the next eight days of projected participation across northern california. Some of the computer models going for 200 of average. By the time we get from monday through next friday. This could be more good news for the california drought.

So between now and then, still seeing some 70s and 80s inland. But that big cooldown is already started on the coast across the inner bay. And yes, low clouds will spill back across the bay, as we head into tomorrow morning. So the last of the temperatures having a chance of 80 degrees happening this afternoon, for areas south of san jose. San francisco in the 60s, peninsula temperatures, mostly 70s. And for the north bay, winds picking up out of the south will begin to cool things off into the 70s and there you see pleasanton, livermore, walnut creek, and antioch. Sierra travel today, just fine. 60s as we go through the weekend. We think the weekend will end on dry know for areas south of interstate 80, but here come some of the changes as we go law late sunday into monday now. Notice the rain trying to make a comeback in the north bay. And by monday afternoon and monday evening, is when that first band of rain comes on in. This is the first wave that will come in for monday and tuesday. And another system taking shape thursday night into friday. Has a better chance of throwing more significant rainfall to the bay area. That will be friday, which will also bring the potential for heavier rain into Southern California. So for the most part, the weekend will be fine. Just increasing clouds. San francisco, maybe some morning drizzle there into sunday morning. The rain drops in as we head into monday and as tuesday. Inland temperatures will continue to cool down. One place to watch, sonoma county. The main event with storm number one, comes in midday into the evening monday into tuesday, and then, yes, next friday could be pretty interesting. Heavy rain possible on the central coast, into Southern California and more rain coming back into the bay area. Sam, back to you. Thank you very much. Up next, an act of kindness to help a student in the south bay. Those people are what keep my promise alive. In todays bay area proud, how hes keeping his commitment to graduate from college. Anyone who has stied the issof homeles anyone who has studied the issue of homelessness knows theres no such thing as a typical homeless person. Many have families and jobs, some even attend college. That was the case for one san jose state student. But thanks to the kindness of one of his professors, his life is now in a very different trajectory. Garvin thomas is here with their story in todays bay area proud. Brandon beebee says his grandfather and some Close Friends have been helping him through some tough times lately. But it was a small act from someone he barely knew that is making the biggest difference in his life right now. Any student at San Jose State University should expect to expect some difficult classes along the way. What brandon beebee didnt expect, though, was having to make such a difficult decision before the school year even started. I had so little saved up. Do i get a room to stay in, or i do pay tuition. Reporter this all goes back, brandon says, to the death of his father earlier this year. Brandon had to shift his attention and his finances to helping take care of his family in los patos. Still, not going to college was not an option. He had promised his dad. His last minutes, you know, i promised him, im going to get my degree. Reporter which explains why brandon began the semester staying not in a dorm, but in the front seat of his 1992 honda accord. I pulled up to a curb and locked the doors, rolled up the windows, pulled the blanket over me and slept. Basically, i would like you to research in spite of his circumstances, brandons journalism professor said he started the year strong, but soon was missing classes and failing to turn in homework. I was wondering why someone like that wouldnt have turned in two or three assignments. Reporter lisa pulled brandon aside one day to check in, to see how he was doing. It meant a lot to a young man feeling awfully alone. At that point, thats when i realized, you know, im not invisible. There are people who care about me. There are people who notice my hard work, my dedication. Reporter which is why, when the accord broke down and brandon had to drop out of school, he wrote a note to lisa, explaining his situation and thanking her for her kindness. Saddened and not knowing what to do next, lisa shared the note with her facebook friends. In minutes, people jumped in and said, oh, my god what can we do to help . Reporter lisas network not only donated money, but connected brandon to services and aid he didnt know existed. And thats only for like so now, thanks to a complete group of strangers, brandons ready to reenroll next semester, with a place to live and a promise kept. It means so much to me. Those people are keeping my promise alive, you know . Its, its a true blessing. In the interest of full disclosure, we should say that Lisa Fernandez not only teaches at San Jose State University, but she is also a digital editor with our website, nbcbayarea. Com. We love lisa. Shes a great journalist and clearly has a huge heart, too. Garvin, thank you very much. Now, if you want to give to what is clearly a worthy cause here, we have a link on our website, where we can find out more information. Well be right back. Because she doesnt know that it kills 40,000 californians. Every year. Because she doesnt understand what cancer is. Because she cant spell emphysema. Because she is a butterfly, who fights fires. Because she is my daughter, and the Surgeon General says that raising tobacco taxes. Is a proven way to make sure she never smokes. Thats why im voting yes on 56. Ag tesla right now is hinting at the idea of a future Ridesharing Service and it comes as only days ago tesla announced that all of its cars are soon gouing to come with selfdriving hardware. But if you want to use your selfdriving tesla to make money on uber or lift, think again. A disclaimer on teslas website states that anyone ordering a car capable of completely autonomous driving can only use it for ride sharing for friends and family or teslas own carhailing service. Details of that program will be released sometime next year. So you just cant send the car out and make money for you during the day, apparently. Which would also be a great idea. I have a feeling it doesnt matter how many times you failed your driving test, friends and family will be finding out if you can give them a lift. That is the future, everyone automated. We have a bit of a humid input on the forecast right now. Were watching a change in terms of some cooling outside today. Low clouds in San Francisco. That will drop temperatures almost 01 degrees cooler than yesterday. And for the weekend, more cooling, more clouds. Stay tuned in the north bay. Late sunday, could see a few showers. The rain should hold off the rest of the bay area, monday into tuesday. Really promising start for rain this season. All right, rob, thank you very much. Were glad you joined us for this friday newscast. Make sure you have a great weekend. See you again for the news at 5 00. Stand by, everyone. Were live in five, four, three, two, one.
