Ceiling mostly cloudy skies. 43 degrees in santa rosa. 56 degrees in oakland. Later today, under mostly cloudy skies, our temperatures in the 50s and low 60s. Storm number 8 is coming up. Well track it together. But first lets say good morning to gianna. Good morning. Lets jump to 80 right now eastshore freeway as you work your way westbound getting word of a possible accident near berkeley chp heading to the scene. Towards the bay bridge everything is clear heading into San Francisco. Gunfire erupts outside a busy Shopping Mall in san leandro. Police are trying to find out who was involved and why. It happened about 6 40 last night outside the Bay Fair Center on east 14th street. Police took calls around 6 40 about shots fired in the parking lot. Witnesses say the shots were from people in a red camaro and to men. But by the time officers got there, the car was gone and the other suspects apparently were in the mall. It was placed on lockdown and within an hour, detectives detained two men spotted walking outside near some movie theaters. They are now interviewing them. We dont know if both parties shot at one another or one group shot at the other. Those are the things well look for when we dissect the security video that we can hopefully get when we are debriefing the witnesses. Reporter police have found physical evidence including bullet holes in a parked car. So far they dont believe anyone was hit. A man is under arrest for allegedly killing a woman at uc San Franciscos main campus. Police say an altercation happened about 5 p. M. Yesterday on parnassus avenue. Thats where the ambulatory care center is located. The suspect and victim reportedly knew each other and the man was taken into custody immediately. Its not clear if either was a student or patient at uc. 7 republicans running for president took the debate stage last night less than three weeks before the Iowa Caucuses. As weijia jang tells us the exchanges in South Carolina got personal. Reporter frontrunner donald trump and ted cruz stood shoulder to shoulder on the main stage but their civil relationship may be crumbling. In a debate on the Fox Business Network trump brought up his birther argument. My friend donald said he had his lawyers look at this from every which way and there was no issue there. There was nothing to this birther issue. Since september, the constitution hasnt changed. But the poll numbers have. The fact is, theres a big overhang. Theres a big question mark on your head. And you cant do that to the party. Reporter but trump made no apologies for his tone rebuffing criticism from South Carolina governor nikki haley. Im angry because our country is a mess. Reporter cruz took heat for failing to disclose a Million Dollar loan from Goldman Sachs used to finance his 2012 senate campaign. Yes, i made a paperwork error disclosing it on one piece of paper instead of the other. Reporter but the universal opponent for the gop candidates was democrat Hillary Clinton. Someone who lies to the families of those four victims in webb can never be president of the united states. She gets elected she might be going back and forth between the white house and the courthouse. Reporter president obama was fresh offer his final state of the union address. On tuesday night i watched story time with barack obama. And i got to tell you, it sounded like everything in the world was going amazing, you know . [ applause ] reporter the candidates get another chance to face off in two weeks just days before the Iowa Caucuses. Weijia jang, cbs news, north charleston, South Carolina. As mentioned the next Republican Debate is in des moines in a few weeks january 28th. That will quickly be followed by the Iowa Caucuses on monday, february 1. So with fewer candidates on the stage last night, they had more time to attack democrats. They took aim at Hillary Clinton but not so much Bernie Sanders and kpix 5 political analyst melissa caen found that surprising. It was very interesting in light of the fact that Bernie Sanders seems to be doing well in these early states in some of these polls. He is doing as well as or better than Hillary Clinton. She also said that in a debate its easy to tell who the candidates think is winning. You can often tell who is winning or whoever one is afraid of by who they are talking about. When people are attacking donald trump you know he is doing well. And tonight that person was ted cruz. But trump is still ahead nationally. A new nbc wall street journal survey shows trump with 33 support. Cruz with 20. We are getting a break this morning. Some parts of the bay area got soaked overnight. This is in sausalito and several more storms are in the forecast. Plenty of fresh snow in the sierra and an arizona rock band called life link couldnt roll through it. Their tour van got stuck on the way to reno. Five guys from arizona hanging out in the cold right now. They dont know at what thats about, right . A nearby gas station had chains that fit and they did make it to their gig. Thats good. And they were playing last night. They are from arizona. They are like whats all that white stuff . Its amazing to hear them say its cold. The temperature has been in the low and mid30s in the high sierra indicative of el nino storms coming through. Wet, wet, wet. We have so much moisture in the atmosphere right now and all this areas of low pressure stacking up over the western pacific tapping into that moisture thats just ready to bring us more rain and we have significant rainfall in the offing again tonight and through the weekend. Good morning, everyone. This is our hidef Doppler Radar. Rain showers pretty much out of here for the morning commute leaving behind in it wake mostly cloudy skies. Temperaturewise look how mild it is. 43 to 56 degrees. Winds under 10. Heres the deal. Your day will be mainly dry today even some sunny breaks but then here comes storm number 8. Its slated to move into the bay area beginning at 9 00 in the north bay along the coast overnight hours. Heres your saturday morning. And this is some moderate to heavy rainfall midmorning. Scattered showers saturday leaving us with some possibly scattered showers for saturday evening. But a bigger storm rolls in for sunday. Well track that one together. Right now, lets send it on over to gianna. Thanks, roberta. Were going to jump over to mass transit right now and take a look at conditions. So far everything is right on time this morning as you work your way on bart, ace, caltrain and muni metro. No delays to report. Checking of the eastshore freeway, we had reports of an accident in berkeley. Looks like no troubles there as you work your way westbound from berkeley towards the bay bridge toll plaza where everything is clear heading into San Francisco. No delays across the span. And the san mateo bridge looks good in both directions. Frank . Thanks, gianna. Time now 4 37. Growing scrutiny over barts fake cameras. Critics say real ones could have helped identify the gunman in saturdays deadly shooting. Da lin spoke to barts police chief. Outrageous. It shocks everybody. Reporter thats the bart Police Chiefs reaction to a shooting that killed a passenger in a train car. Whats even more shocking . The ceiling cameras that could have given detectives valuable information were fake. Thats a fail on barts part. Reporter rail camera or decoy, do you think . I feel like its fake. I think its real, but its fake. I hope its real. Reporter the cameras pointing at these passengers were fake. I asked the bart police chief how many real and fake cameras they have. He refused to answer, citing security concerns. [ applause ] reporter in 2007 then governor Arnold Schwarzenegger gave bart 5. 4 million to upgrade its camera system. Apparently, it wasnt enough. Aside from the trains, bart has cameras on platforms and in station lobbies, cameras in the west oakland lobby capturing the murder suspect running away. The chief says bart is safe. Based on the photos that we released, the system is working. Can it it be improved . Yes . Reporter some passengers say the fake cameras pose a security risk. When you look after the whats going on in paris and the rest of europe, they need to update it. Reporter bart will get new trains starting in 2017. The police chief says all those new trains will have working cameras. In oakland, im da lin, kpix 5. Theres still no motive for that shooting. Bart police havent identified the victim yet. He had a fake honduras identification. The young man took a tridelta transit bus to the pittsburg bay point station before getting on that train. A contractor may be rehired. Remember this . That steam explosion at the construction site injured and employee in september 2014 just one of the reasons the county fired Turner Construction along with cost overruns and delays. And now it appears the county is poised to rehire them. Turner is one of four finalists to complete the 290 million retrofit project. Earlier this week we showed you video of a bicyclist getting beaten by a San Francisco police officer. Kpix 5s cate caugiran talked to it the bicyclist. Reporter San Francisco police are still not commenting on this. The last we heard from the department it said that its internal Affairs Division is investigating this. So all we know is what we see in these two videos and we have to warn you, they may be hard to watch. Help, stop hitting him reporter earlier there month donovan reid was at fourth and townsend on his bike about to deliver a burrito when he says an sfpd officer pulled him over. Cop comes up swerves into my lane and cuts me off and then jumps out of the vehicle and he says, why are you on your phone . Im like i didnt have much time to react because i wow i just got ran over whats going on . Reporter in the video you hear donovan tell the officer he doesnt have his identification. We later learned he did but said he was freaked out at the time. Although the confrontation starts out calm it escalates after the officer asks donovan to put his hands behind his back. Donovan responded with you dont have the right to search me, sir. Reporter this is when donovans camera goes off and for minutes there is no known record of what happened. But donovan said. He grabbed my shirt collar and started punching me in the stomach for like two minutes and then he maced me. I thought to myself, this cop is going to pull his gun and he is going to shoot me. Reporter sfpd told me last night that they informed the office of citizen complaints but that office told me they have no record of it. Cate caugiran, kpix 5. He is facing charges including battery on an officer and obstruction of justice. The 49ers lock in a new head coach chip kelly. This morning fans and experts weigh in on whether kelly can turn around the struggling team. ,,,,, coach chip kelly. Is now in charge of the niners. Kpix 5s mark sayre has more on t this means for the future oe team. In his t a big change for bay area football fans. Chip kelly is now in charge of the 49ers. Mark sayre has more on what this means for the future of the team. Reporter in his three years as head coach of the philadelphia eagles, chip kelly had two winning seasons. But he was fired by philadelphia last month after a 69 record. 49ers fans say it is now wait and see. You think its a good move for them . I think it will be exciting either way. Reporter during one of kellys last news conferences in philadelphia, he was asked if he worried about his job security. No. If its not good enough, its not good enough. But i mean, im going to continue as hard as i can and show up early and stay late. Reporter in philadelphia and during his time as head coach of the oregon ducks kelly developed a reputation as a demanding coach with what some might call a tough personality. You know, i i like chip kellys concepts but i think he is kind of a tough fit for the nfl. People are still trying to figure him out. 49ers probably are in as much need as anybody else. Reporter but could kellys hurryup offense mean good things for 49ers quarterback kaepernick . Chip kelly has coveted Colin Kaepernick since he joined the eagles a mobile quarterback that fits that bill. He can simplify the offense for him, boost kaepernicks confidence, ultimately all those things are why i think kaepernick will be under center when minicamp rolls around. Gives kaepernick a better shot just from the style of play that kaepernick plays. Imagine colin is a very happy player right now. Kelly wont have control of the roster though like he did in philadelphia. That still rests in the hands of general manager trent baalke. Kelly is expected to be officially introduced to the media sometime next week. Now that we know the raiders arent moving to l. A. , the big question whats oakland going to do to keep them here . The oaklandalameda county Coliseum Authority will meet today in a closed session. On the agenda, possibly extending the raiders lease.

Todays conference starts at 7 30 a. M. At the Federal Reserve bank in San Francisco. Its 4 46. Roberta, you have a bit of a cold. Oh, yeah. You can hear it in your voice. Makes me sound like lauren bacall. I went to a dinner party and everybody was asking me whats the difference between last winter and this winter. We have the storms out there last winter. But we didnt have the water vapor. We didnt have the warming of the ocean waters with that water vaporizing from the ocean waters. Thats what we have this year. Thats el nino. And so thats why we are getting more rain than we did last year. And right now were talking about a dry morning commute, a dry evening commute, but more rain in the forecast by later tonight. Good morning. Out the door our hidef Doppler Radar picking up absolutely nothing right now. Mostly cloudy skies looking out towards the bay bridge where we have the winds diminishing. Boy, it was breezy last night. 42 to 56 degrees across the board at this very early hour. Hearst what you need to know on this heres what you need to know on this friday. Drizzle and soaking rains returning by later on this evening. Then on again and off again rain showers over the weekend. I just love this image. Look at this massive area of low pressure. Thats textbook perfect. This is the core, the center of the area of low pressure. This is the front thats scooting this area of low pressure out of here. These things are stacking up like planes at sfo. Water vapor imagery storm number 7 that just left this morning. 8 is queued up tonight, storm number 9 sunday into monday. Keep the umbrella handy to be safe but look at that clear slot by lunch today. No rain until right there. Thats the front in the overnight hours and then here you go into your saturday morning, your saturday afternoon with some scattered showers. Sunday morning heres the next system. That one is number, what, nine . That wants to interfere with your weekend plans into monday. Snow level with the winter storm warning in effect for the greater lake tahoe area. Gianna will tell you, you need the chains if you are heading to tahoe for the weekend. But boy the conditions have not been this favorable for the past decade locally today into the 50s and low 60s.

Everything is clear on that westbound side. 580 looks good no delays along 24. Traffic is clear but we have a wind advisory for the bay bridge this morning. So keem that in mind as you work your way across so keep that in mind as you work your way across the span into San Francisco. 19 minutes from 80 from carquinez bridge to the maze.
