expressway. fox 2's janine de la vega has an update on what's happening. >> reporter: gasia, we thought the fire would be contained by now. it's been burning four hours, as you mentioned, but it still has not been contained. you can see the wind has shifted and it's really rolling in here. it looks like fog, but this area is just covered with smoke. you can see the destruction that it has caused here. they have an aerial ladder shooting water on the strip mall that has 12 businesses. there has been 60 different firefighters trying to get this fire out. i am joined right now with chief bill kelly. tell me why is this taking so long to put out? >> this building is 50 years old. over 50 years there have been many building developments. so it's very difficult to get to the seat of the fire. the fact that firefighters found fire in the attic upon arrival, it was a tough challenge for them. the fire was spreading through the units before we got here. >> reporter: and i know in the last ten minutes or so more parts of the roof just keep collapsing. what does that tell you? >> it tells us, first of all, it's very risky for firefighters. the fire is going to take what it's going to take in this building. right now it's eight of the 12 units. looks like they are a total loss. my concern is for the safety of the firefighters at this point. when the building starts to collapse, we make sure they are out much collapsed zones. we ref new video we took in the last 30 minutes or so much a drone. we saw a drone up in the air. that's from one of your fire volunteers. what is that doing? >> that's correct. we have had a drone deployed on fires for about a year now. our volunteer runs that particular device. it gives us an aerial shot. we try to get as much evidence as possible of the fire. the drone helps in the fire investigation. then for a review of our actions, so our firefighters can learn from what they have done today. that drone video has been very helpful. >> reporter: thank you so much. chief bill kelly. they are going to be out here for quite some time. i asked how long and they are saying they don't know but they are estimating the majority of the day. you can see the water is through this parking lot of this strip mall. it's already flowing on to el camino east of lawrence expressway between that expressway and pomeroy. no word what caused this fire. as you heard, about eight businesses damaged. they are trying to save the remaining four. so it's been pretty devastating for the business owners who have shown up and basically have seen their livlihoods destroyed. >> janine de la vega. thank you. we will keep checking back with you. let's go to weather. we will talk more about what's happening not only there at the scene of the fire and around the bay. >> cloudy and the fog is in there. there is not a heck of a breeze here. san jose is not showing that much of a breeze. i looked around the area and i can hardly find anything over seven miles an hour. a lot of fog in place. there is a big fog bank. we will be slow to recover from this coast and bay today. west-southwest san jose. at the airport five. livermore, everybody is in on a westerly breeze. day baseball. at&t usually gets sun. in the worst case of a fog bank, that's what we have. upper 50s or low 60s. a westerly breeze in place. low clouds up and down. we will see some drier air move in here. 50s on the temps. east bay temps in the 50s. not budging here. thunderstorms blew up everywhere. they will be a little bit more south and east today as that low takes the turn. tomorrow we will slowly warm up. today low clouds. drizzle out there this morning around the bay. breezy to windy later on. drizzle. showers to the south. staying very cool here for many with 60s for most inland locations, low 70s. sal, 7:05. what do you want to focus on first? >> a lot of slow traffic all over the east bay and all over the south bay, steve. let's look at the fire here in santa clara. janine mentioned that el camino real is shut down. it looks like it's going to be shut down for a good part of the day. this area is off limits. the lawrence expressway not affected. you can continue to drive to work on the lawrence expressway. but if you happen to exit at el camino real that will be a problem in that area. let's move along and look at some of these other commutes here in the south bay. we have had a couple of fender- benders here and there. they haven't really affected the traffic that much. be aware that they are there. southbound 880 at 92 an earlier accident there. that's gone but traffic is a little bit slow as a result. live pictures. this is highway 4 coming up to the willow pass grade. slow through most of pittsburg and baypointe. at the bay bridge toll plaza 15 to 20-minute delay depend wig lane you are in. traffic is slow on the 880 ramp down to that toll plaza as well. 7:06. back to the desk. the san jose sharks could make team history with a win tonight. a victory tonight would put the sharks in the first ever stanley cup finals. >> the sharks made it to the conference finals three times before, but never made that last step. ktvu's brian flores is in the studio with the prospective of a player who has been with the team through the good and bad times. >> patrick marleau. this is a good time. this is the 25th anniversary for the sharks organization. how fitting would it be for the team to make the stanley cup finals? they are one win away. they are taking on a tough st. louis blues team who, by the way, have won more road games during the playoffs than any other team this year. the sharks won game five back on monday. 6-3. they now head back to what will no doubt be a feeding frenzy full of sharks faithful at sap center tonight. one shark, patrick, has been with the team since 1997. he was there when the sharks came close to the stanley cup finals in 2004, 2010, and 2011. he says he is focused on the most important game of his career. >> you just try and stay in the moment and not think too much about it. just play -- control what you can control. that's the biggest thing. and know you're in it with, you know, 20 other guys trying to do the same thing. so that gives you that little extra boost. >> yeah. you can tell within the locker room the guys even that that have been here a couple of years and how much pressure. i would want nothing more than to have those guys have that opportunity. i think a lot of the younger guys feel exactly the same way. i am sure the people, the fans are in the same boat. >> reporter: the puck drops tonight at 6 p.m. at sap center. by the way, our friend dave clark, who knows patrick marleau very well, posted this picture on may 6th. here with the san jose sharks hockey star patrick marleau. they have a chance to win the stanley cup. dave predicting the future there. >> i love him. >> i know you do. tickets are available through ticketmaster, stubhub and the sharks website. what we are seeing for the first time i think in history, sharks tickets more than the warriors playoff tickets. we went on ticketmaster. tickets are going for $300. >> wow. >> by the way, the sharks lose tonight, which we know they won't, the series will move back to st. louis on friday. >> good teal thoughts. thank you. well, the warriors find themselves in an unfamiliar place this morning. they are on the brink of elimination. they lost back-to-back games. oklahoma city won game four last night 118-94 taking a 3-1 series lead. draymond green and steph curry didn't look like themselves many people say. klay thompson fount his shot in the second half scoring 19 consecutive points during a stretch. the warriors could not complete a comeback. >> we have to be able to chase down loose balls and long rebounds. otherwise, they are getting just way too many possessions compared to us. >> lucky for us, we are so great at home, that this really sucks right now. a terrible feeling to not even get one here. but you can't -- you just got to play with desperation like our lives are on the line on thursday and go from there. >> the warriors need to win three straight to get to the finals. game five tomorrow night at oracle. if they win, they will go back to oklahoma city for game six. that's saturday night. only nine of 232 teams to trail 3-1 in a best of seven playoff series have come back to win the series, but twice during last post-season the warriors were down 2-1 in the series and won three games straight. time now 7:10. today san francisco's public defenders office will hold a meeting with the police use of force and several experts will address the crowd. the meeting follows last week's fa fatal police shooting in the bayview district. a police sergeant killed a 27- year-old behind the wheel of a car. that marked the end of greg suhr's career. san francisco's police chief. it also renewed the debate about police use of force and the possible use of tasers in san francisco. well, the slayer county district attorney will not -- the santa clara county district attorney will not charge two police officers in the deadly shooting last christmas of a mentally ill man. two police officers shot and killed 31-year-old william wrath outside of a residential treatment center in palo alto. the officers responded after wrath called 911 and falsely claimed that a man was threatening other patients at that treatment center. the d.a. says the police officers were threatened by wrath who came at them with a knife.. >> now, the d.a. released dashcam video of what happened out there taken from several different aprilles. one angle clearly shows him charging at one of the officers and what comes next is very graphic, very disturbing. so we're not going to show it. we're actually stopping the video just before the police officers fired the fatal shots. 7:11. a homeland security committee will hold a hearing to come up with legislation to address the long lines at airport security checkpoints across the country. we showed you waits up to three hours nationwide. those lines could get even longer during the summer travel season. by next month the tsa says it will have up-to-the-minute wait times at the country's largest airports. it won't speed up the lines, but it could help passengers plan their trip better. the agency is testing out an automated bin moving system which should move the passengers' belongings through the checkpoints a little faster. 7:12. it happened again last night. another shooting on an east bay freeway. in 20 minutes the investigation underway and the hunt for the upper body who pulled the trigger. more campaign chaos. a violent protest erupts outside a donald trump rally in new mexico. up next the latest in the race for the white house, including the big endorsement trump could get soon. good morning. we are a looking at a commute here where traffic is going to be okay here on northbound 280. it's slowing down a little bit. there goes the locomotive pushing caltrain heading up north. big overcast conditions almost everybody. there is a lot of fog to go around. staying cool for today. what about by the weekend? we will have more on that. turns out lemon juice doesn't cure pink eye. hi. how are you doing today? that's how i am. red head fred. ultra rare. i collect these too. nah, these are for my dog because he can never decide which one he wants until he gets home, so... presenting the american express blue cash everyday card with cash back on purchases and no annual fee. my only concern is that this is where we put food. a dog's foot is cleaner than a human's mouth. that's what they say. is it? cleaner than my mouth. cash back on purchases. backed by the service and security of american express. time is 7:15. violent protests overnight at a donald trump rally in new mexico. this was the scene and it happened as donald trump won another state primary and edged even closer to clenching the gop nomination. he may get a key endorsement later this week. doug luzader has more from washington this morning. >> reporter: good morning. a number of reports now he may get an endorsement from gop house speaker paul ryan. that would be a big deal. trump, meantime, with the delegates he won yesterday, he is fewer than 30 delegates away from locking down the nomination. he had a campaign appearance last night in albuquerque. outside things got a little rough. protesters outside a donald trump rally in new mexico. burning the flag and clashing with police, pelting them with rocks and other debris as police responded with pepper spray and smoke grenades. several officers injured. trump getting good news from the state of washington where he won yesterday's primary and he went after hillary clinton. >> and i will never say this, but she screams. it drives me crazy. >> reporter: trump is making headway uniting the party, waiting for the possible endorsement of house speaker paul ryan. some others in the gop are holding out though, including the first latina governor in the country suzannah martinez and democrats facing their own party problems. bernie sanders warning of a divisive convention this summer. his supporters are now targeting clinton ally and democratic party chair schultz who could be jettisoned just before the convention according to the hill.com as clinton supporters try to ease tensions with the sander camp. clinton, meantime, with a new angle on trump, attacking his real estate strategy during the recession. >> why on earth would we elect somebody president who actually rooted for the collapse of the mortgage market? >> she goes, and donald trump is a terrible person and he wanted to buy housing when it was at a low point. who the hell doesn't? who doesn't? >> reporter: meantime, donald trump may get additional ammunition today. a state department audit has just been released, according to the "associated press," that delves into e-mail practices specifically involving hillary clinton and that private server she used. this audit really takes her to task for mismanaging that process. gasia. >> doug, thank you. now, hillary clinton will be making some campaign appearances in the bay area today and tomorrow. she is set to appear at a private fundraiser in atherton. tomorrow she will be in san jose at park side hall. doors open at 11:30. she is scheduled to speak at 1:30. it is free and open to the public. >> thank you, anaheim! >> bernie sanders wrapped up a series of rallies last night in southern california. he spoke to an enthuse i can crowd of supporters. we may start seeing and hearing ads for bernie sanders in the bay area. his campaign reportedly launched a $1.5 million campaign to buy advertisement time in california. let's see if the commute is heating up. hey, sal, how's it look? everybody behaving? >> yeah, you know, i don't know about behaving, dave, but we have slow traffic out there. let's go ahead and start off with a look at the toll plaza because you will see some slow traffic at the toll plaza this morning, as usual. traffic is moving along okay as you drive to the macarthur maze, but then it slows way down. there is a collision on treasure island that has just been reported a little while ago. they have slowed the metering lights down. and you can definitely tell. look at the toll plaza, in case you are not watching the tv and just listening. if you look, the traffic is not moving almost. sometimes you see it and it's slow, but it's moving. those metering lights are slowed down because of that accident near treasure island. let's take a look at the san mateo bridge. that's also very busy heading out to the high-rise. i want to mention san jose has a motorcycle accident northbound 280 near meridian. also a rollover vehicle northbound 880 at 101. and i do want to mention something that i said i'd get to and i know people rely on this. i want to go up to my maps on the richmond bridge. we have a big backup out of richmond to marin. 7:19. let's bring in sal. thank you, sir. every observation at least from santa rosa to san jose says cloudy and the reason being there is a rather impressive fog bank over us. some of that fog is producing some drizzle san francisco, southern marin county, oakland, or maybe where you are. i know towards the coast as well a lot of reports of drizzle. most of the shower activity had some impressive thundershowers yet, north, mendocino county, lake county, out to the valley. looks like that's going south now. low associated is almost down into southern california. day baseball. bundle up. on the cool side. upper 50s to 60. west wind 20 miles per hour. west at hayward. west at sfo. everybody says cloudy on these observations and there is still a breeze in place. once that fog burns off, a decent breeze from buchanan. that's a delta breeze. there is the low. it tracks to southern california. you can see the circulation around that. that's what gave us the wide variety of shower and thundershower activity yesterday. it was closer to us yesterday. peninsula temps mid 50s for just about everybody. 55 woodside, los altos hill 54, san mateo says 55, cooler pacifica 52. truckee 39 degrees. quieter in the tahoe-truckee area. central and southern area in line for more thunderstorm activity and hit-and-miss showers in southern california. not bad in tahoe, truckee, reno today. yesterday things were going nuts. that low as it tracks south will be the source of cooler weather today. once to takes the turn into the foreign corner that allows high pressure tomorrow. it will be warmer. low clouds. breezy to windy once the fog burns out. drizzle this morning. showers possible to the south. it stays cool unless you are well, well inland. even those temps are below average. they are going to bump up ten degrees probably friday and saturday. today if you are stuck in the low cloud tickets a cool grey pattern. 68 downtown san jose. 60s or low 70s even on the coast 50s, 60s, upper 60s, 70s on the peninsula. tomorrow the fog burns off. then warming up going into the holiday weekend. >> finally a nice warm weekend. >> warmer. >> okay. >> thanks. time is 7:24. a terrible story in san leandro. an amtrak train slams into an suv killing a mother and young daughter inside. how their vehicle was trapped on the tracks and what investigators are doing to make sure this never happens again. uninvited visitor ransacking a home in lake tahoe. up next why bear break-ins are happening more often and what you can do to protect yourself. welcome back to "mornings on 2". time 7:25. a big mess in florence, italy. will you look at your television set? a giant sinkhole opened this morning swallowing cars that were parked on a road along the river bank. the pavement collapsed beneath all of those cars. the sinkhole is 70 feet long. it was caused by a broken underground water pipe. two apartment buildings facing the river, they had to be evacuated. so far no injuries have been reported. back in this country, california scientists studying the lake tahoe area say they found another sign of the warming climate. research found a growing number of trees in the sierra are naturally shifting to higher elevations in a search for cooler temperatures. the trees are taking root farther up mountainsides with trees moving an average of almost 500 feet higher over the past 80 years. last year was the hottest year on earth since modern recordkeeping started in 1880. as the snowpack melts, bears are becoming a problem for homeowners around lake tahoe. in one south lake tahoe neighborhood bear sightings are about an everyday occurrence. this is video of a bear scrambling around the cabin. they are coming into homes, going through garages, garbage, even houses. the family of bears ransacked a home in el dorado county until the sheriff's deputies arrived and scared them away. >> mom was wanting to leave. the little baby cubs can be more stubborn. once they have found their honey pot, they don't want to put it down. >> after years of drought, deputies say bear run-ins are more common. the sheriff's office gets as many as five calls a day on reports of bears. time is 7:27. what will we do? no nor skinny jeans or leggings. the reason for a controversial new dress code at some schools in north carolina. good morning. once again the chp is investigating a shooting along a freeway here in the east bay. we will tell you what we know about the investigation that took place last night in hercules and what we're learning about the condition of the victim coming up. we have a problem on the bay bridge and that is affecting the toll plaza commute. you can see how busy it is. when we come back, we will show you what the bridge is looking like and how long it's going to take you. cool, grey weather. if you don't love it, you will have to grin and bear it. we will have more coming up. 7:30. kind of a grey start to the day. if you have been waiting for a warmish, sunnyish weekend, you might be getting it. take a look at that there at the port of oakland. for so many that means i am at home. hope you are at home cozy on the couch. whatever you are doing, we appreciate you joining us this wednesday, may 25. i am gasia mikaelian. >> i am dave clark. let's check your weather. the expert, steve paulson. >> i didn't see any sun there, did you guys? >> no. >> grey, gasia and dave, and it's going to stay cool today. very cool for some. coast and bay, inland terms in with the sunshine. there will be a westerly breeze behind that. it's going to continue to be on the cool side here. temperatures in the 50s. everyone's stuck. almost every observation says cloudy unless you are well away from a fog bank. a good charge here this morning. low clouds associated with the low that dropped down. actually, there was a series of them. went for a few sun breaks over at&t today. it won't be very warm at 12:45. i might be optimistic with that 60. maybe 58 degrees. westerly breeze. west. southwest. doesn't matter. any slice you look at it or component of it, it's onshore breeze. the low is in southern california. 50s on the temps here. they have been there all morning long. brentwood 60. thunderstorm activity fired up around us. today to the south as that low right there starts to work its way to southern california. low clouds and a lot of drizzle coast, bay. a couple of reports all over the place here around oakland, san francisco, and marin county. a few showers could pop up to the south later. it stays on the cool, cool side. 7:32. we have had a couple issues there, haven't? >> yeah, we have had a few, steve. you know, right now we do have kind of a normal morning commute with a couple of trouble spots. it isn't as if the morning commute is ever great on a regular weekday. the bay bridge stalled vehicle or whatever it was, it was either a stall or a single accident inside the tunnel, it has been removed according to chp and bridge crews. traffic is beginning to recover on the bridge. once you get to the toll plaza you will notice they slowed the metering lights down. now they are moving a little bit better again. it did a number on the bay bridge. you are going to see slow traffic. sometimes people use the richmond bridge. sometimes people say, heck with the bay bridge, i am going to use the richmond driver. you might expect a little more company as you drive through the area. now that we're here i want to show i 80 westbound. it's slow all the way down from hercules heading out towards the macarthur maze. so that's not a very good drive. and 680 southbound is slow from concord down to the walnut creek interchange. 7:33. let's go back to desk. >> sal, thank you. we are following developing news from santa clara. fire crews finally getting an upper hand on that big fire at a strip mall in santa clara. i want to show you video of when it first started. this is when we were on the air early this morning. this started about 3:00 this morning on el camino real near the lawrence expressway. it quickly grew to five alarms, destroyed several businesses. now, we haven't heard of any injuries yet. ktvu's janine de la vega has been out there all morning. she will bring us a live update at 8:00. 7:34 this morning. the search is on for whoever opened fire on a car last night on interstate 80 in hercules. this latest freeway shooting left one person wounded. fox 2's alex savidge live now with what drivers have to say about what many consider a disturbing trend. >> reporter: yeah, gasia, good morning to you. certainly these ongoing freeway shootings are a major concern for drivers that we are talking to. they are happening at all hours of the day. even those these are targeted attacks according to investigators, obviously innocent people driving along the freeway are potentially in the line of fire. i will show you the scene behind us. that is interstate 80 beyond us here in hercules. can you see that traffic is flowing freely in this area. all lanes are back open following a major investigation here last night into the latest shooting. it happened around 9:20 in the eastbound lanes of interstate 80 west of the highway 4 connector. you can see that several windows of a car were shattered by the gunfire. the chp says one person was shot in the leg. we haven't heard any updates on their condition this morning, but it would appear they would survive those injuries. the chp says the shooter drove off in a black chevy el camino that had tinted windows on it. there have been 20 shootings along interstate 80 and highway 4. most appear to be linked to ongoing feuds between gangs in this area. still many drivers say it's troubling how common place these attacks have become. >> we're all human. you don't want to become numb to what's going on. you know., a lot of people say these are natural occurrences. really it isn't. again it's a life. going back to what i said initially. it's a lack of love and concern for another one's life. >> reporter: earlier this month a woman was shot and killed along highway 4 in pittsburg. she was one of several people killed since late last year when these freeway shootings began to happen with more frequency in this part of the bay area. we are working to get more information from the chp on this investigation. again in many cases, gasia, they don't have too much in the way of information from witnesses. in this particular case the chp has what appear to be a decent lead. they have a getaway scar. a black chevy el camino. >> alex, i know officers are saying most of these tend to be targeted shootings or retaliatory acts. that must be very little comfort to drivers because anything can happen when you are going 70 miles an hour. >> reporter: right. it is a fair point. and the chp continues to point out these are not random acts of violence, and they point that out to try to put people at ease somewhat. i think a lot of drivers say you have somebody opening fire from a moving car at high speeds on a freeway. the likelihood that some of those shots go where they are not intended to go seems pretty high and you have a lot of innocent people who could potentially be in the line of fire. >> thank you. 7:37. now to that woman and child killed on a crash on train tracks in san leandro. they have been identified. relatives say the driver of the suv hit by the amtrak train yesterday was 30-year-old vanessa henriquez and her three- year-old daughter sadie. their suv was trapped on the tracks by heavy traffic at 1:30 yesterday afternoon when the crossing guard arms came down and they could not move. the toyota rav 4 was pushed down the tracks about a quarter mile. relatives say henriquez was devoted to her family. >> she was a very loving mother. very responsible always with her children. >> she loved just to be with her family. >> at this point pg&e is looking into reports that traffic was heavy because of work being done by its crews. police plan to reenact the scene. they are asking anyone who has surveillance or cell phone video of the accident to contact them. time is 7:38. the three suspects accused of killing keith green of millbrae are expected to stay in jail until they appear in court again next week. tiffany lee, her boyfriend and their friend, they are accused of killing keith green. tiffany lee and green have two young daughters. he was last seen alive at the millbrae pancake house. that's where he met lee on april 29th to talk about custody of their daughters. green's body was found 12 days later off highway 101 in sonoma county. some reports say he was fatally shot. prosecutors say all three defendants are liable even if only one pulled the trigger. >> they can be liable for murder even if they didn't actually pull the trigger on theories of either conspiracy or aiding and abetting. it doesn't require a separate charge. we feel we have proof beyond a reasonable doubt. that's why we proved forward this with prosecution. >> none of the suspects entered a plea. all are being held without bail. we don't know who has custody of the little girls right now. san francisco's board of supervisors voted to make changes to the policy of not sharing immigration of status of inmates with federal immigration officials made news last year. a man charged with killing a woman is from mexico and is in the country illegally. last night they approved changes that clarify when local law enforcement officials can notify immigration officials on the federal level that an undocumented immigrant will be released from custody. that can happen if a suspect is charged with a violent crime or has been convicted of a recent serious felony. >> if you have a serious or violent felony and you have priors, you could be subject to notification to ice. >> the guidelines were negotiated with the sheriff. mayor ed lee has to sign the ordinance before to goings bah. even if the ordinance was in effect last year, it would not apply in the killing of kate steinle because his previous felony convictions were not considered serious. california lawmakers are debating a law that would protect people who smash out a car window to save animals trapped inside a hot car. three sem assembly members sat inside a car to show their support. it was 90 degrees outside. the temperature inside rose to 108 during 21 minutes in the car. supporters say the proposed law would allow good samaritans to smash out a car 2 save a pet without worrying about being sued. there are some restrictions. >> this is not a license for you to break windows. this is an opportunity for you to use your sound judgment at the point where you feel it's necessary for you to break that window and then you have to stay and wait until law enforcement arrives and to be able to explain the situation. >> now, several states, including florida and tennessee, they already have similar laws. many young people are now looking for a summer job with the school year coming to an end and employment experts say this may be the best sumner years for teenagers to entered the job market. many adults who were in entry- level jobs in retail or restaurant jobs have moved up leaving jobs open for teens. one employment expert has advice for young people hoping to stand out in a sea of applicants. >> if you want to go work for a coffee shop in the summer, if you go to the employer and say you will work their social media for them because you are an expert in that in a lot of ways, you are much more hireable and likely to get the job. >> another way for teens to stand out is to go old school when applying for a job. he says face to face contact with a potential employer so much better than sending an e- mailed resume. today on "the 9" we will talk about getting that first job and keeping it. meanwhile, 7:42. stripping san francisco's mayor of some responsibilities. in 20 minutes the powers he would lose under a newly introduced ballot member. i remember that night doing a live shot and remembering do people notice at home i can't see out of this eye? >> a tv reporter wakes up to find he is blind in one eye. up next how that led to the discovery of a much bigger health issue. and we are looking at traffic covering the bay bridge because of an earlier stalled vehicle. looks better now. we will tell you what the toll plaza delay is. for most a great morning. a big fog bank out there. we will talk about the pattern and see what's in store for the upcoming weekend. hi. is the internet still out? yes! i have nothing. come on! work together. work

take a look at the commute now. sometimes i wear contact lenses. i got to tell you, they are uncomfortable. these glasses do the trick. let's look at what we have at the bay bridge toll plaza. it is improving. we had a stalled vehicle inside the tunnel. that's gone. and traffic is now looking more normal. it's moving along. it's still a delay of 20 minutes. also looking at a commute here on 880 northbound. we are beginning to see slow traffic of course as you drive through. let's check out the peninsula now. it's been kind of a quiet but slow commute on 280 coming from daly city up to the alameda interchange and 101. a little bit of slow traffic as well. as we go over to the eastbound we have the traditional slow traffic on 580 coming out of san leandro into oakland. 7:49. let's go to steve. >> sal, i need glasses when i go to a restaurant now and look at the menu. you know what i mean? >> do you do this? >> not that far, but close. thank you, sal. we do have overcast. in fact, there is a lot of grey out there unless -- pretty far inland. i heard from officer todd clark of the pleasant hill police department. he said overcast in pleasant hill as far as i can see. so that tells you there is a pretty big overcast. david in pittsburg says we're clear out here. but there is a little bit of a breeze. and san jose is overcast city. tonight though it will be rocking at the tank. let's go sharks. seal the deal. put the hammer down. get 'er done. we have day baseball as well. i am being optimistic here. usually there is sun over at&t. partly sunny. upper 50s, low 60s. there will be a westerly breeze in place. antonio, good morning, steve, currently 53 with no wind and cloudy skies in daly city. that sounds like a summer pattern to me. everybody is in on the cloud cover. there is a breeze already with the overcast. that's rare. usually the overcast ties down the breeze, picks up once it burns off. a low responsible for our cool weather is now visiting southern california. 50s to one 60s. pittsburg 58, antioch 57. 55 walnut creek. san ramon is in there. concord is close. everybody in there. mendocino county had some big boomers yesterday. today i think they will be focused south. santa clara valley to monterey. the low south, we are on the northern edge and that takes it out of our picture here. not much change today expect a decrease in the thunderstorm activity. it will be warmer heading into friday. inland temps will jump up a little bit tomorrow. today looks like we are stuck in the 60s and 70s. breezy to windy later. drizzle this morning around the bay. showers to the south. it's staying on the cool, cool side here. probably a little bit better towards ukiah and clearlake because they are going to lose the thundershower activities. but 60s to some low-mid 70s at best even well inland. i mean, temperatures even out to the valley are below average here. and on the coast 50s, 60s in the city, low 60s. very low 70s on the peninsula. tomorrow the fog burns off sooner. the temps bump up more you will notice friday. 7:52. north bay police officer shoots and injures a 15-year-old who was carrying a replica gun. why police say that's

county, and they want to ban skinny jeans and other types of pants. they say they have to wear a shirt to cover their bottom completely. it comes, they say, to some overweight girls being bullied for wearing skinny jeans or leggings. they say students should respect others and better interact with their peers. >> i am not going to ask you what you think. >> well, it's a difficult subject. >> it's a tricky one. >> yeah. those are hard years anyway. >> you're right. 7:57. for the san jose sharks it's the biggest game for them in their 25-year history. they have a chance to do something they have never done. advance to the stanley cup finals. and we have been on this huge fire since it broke out at a strip mall early this morning in santa clara. all the damage that has been done and how it's impacting that area. good morning. we are looking at a commute that's improving finally at the bay bridge. now that they have the obstruction out of the way. you will see slow traffic on some of the other bridge approaches that is not getting better. there is a lot of grey over the bay, as we like to say, and it's keeping temperatures cool. there are signs of a warm-up as we head to the weekend. the fact that firefighters found fire in the attic upon arrival, it was a tough challenge for them. >> an early morning five alarm strip mall fire gutted several businesses in santa clara. the new development in the firefight that happened a little while ago. this is ktvu "mornings on 2". >> good morning. thank you for joining us. it's wednesday. it's may 25th. i am dave clark. >> i am gasia mikaelian. and we will go straight to breaking news. top story we have been covering all morning long. investigators are looking for the cause of this huge early morning fire at a santa clara strip mall. it started just after 3:00 this morning. it quickly went to five alarms. fast moving flames caused major damage to a number of buildings, and at this point crews are still putting out hot spots. >> this all happened on el camino real not far from lawrence expressway. ktvu's janine de la vega, you have been out there all morning long. you are here now. what's the latest? you have some other things to show us as well. >> reporter: yes, dave. we just got word that about 30 minutes ago they were able to finally contain this fire. i want to show you what it looks like right now. you can see they still have water, aerial ladders are putting water on in from three different directions. this is an l-shaped strip mall. smoke is rising from the building, so they want to make sure nothing flares up. it's been sad for the business owners. they watched as the fire has eaten away at their businesses. this is new video. this was around 3 a.m. when the fire first began at the rancho shopping center. now, in this video it looks like the flames were started appearing over a foot spa and spread to an indian restaurant and various other businesses. there is 12 businesses total, and the fire captain told us that it quickly spread to about eight of the businesses, destroying them. firefighters have been attacking the fire with water from those aerial ladders and engines, and it appears they were able to save the remaining four businesses. the biggest challenge is the older construction of the building. at one point there were 60 firefighters out here on scene from santa clara, the county, and sunnyvale. some crews are starting to be released, although el camino is blocked off in both directions between lawrence and pomeroy because hoses, fire hoses are running across the street and there is still emergency vehicles there in the street. so no word on the cause yet, but fire crews are still going to be out here for quite some time. they are going to be doing some mop-up and i saw the fire marshal out here. he says they are going to start their investigation. earlier they had drones up in the air, and that's also going to help with their investigation. but expect el camino to be closed for a couple of hours. there is still a lot of activity here. again avoid the area. we know it's affecting businesses who aren't even a part of this fire. ones that are across the street because people can't get to them. employees can't get to them because the street is blocked off. >> all right. janine de la vega. thank you for the update. we will talk to you later. >> el camino real a huge thoroughfare. let's go to sal castaneda helping us get around the traffic issue. >> one of the things that i wanted to mention is if you go in that area in the south bay, i want to show it to you on the maps if we can. el camino real is a very busy street. i don't have to tell you that. but the lawrence expressway is open. it's a little slow. i am not sure if that has anything to do with the fire. it's always slow this time of the morning. this area here on el camino real, janine mentioned it's not going to be open for a while because there are fire hoses strewn across el camino real. consider this area between flora vista and pomeroy are off limits. there is a big traffic jam in the area as well. now that i have the maps here let's move them up to another part of the east bay. southbound 880 still slow traffic coming down through hayward. it's improved a little bit heading south. we also have slow traffic in this area. dumbarton and san mateo bridges moderately heavy traffic. live pictures now. i can show you the bay bridge. we had an earlier stalled vehicle inside the tunnel. it wasn't there too long and traffic is improving a little bit. and if you are driving on to the richmond bridge a big delay there as well. this is 280 in san jose, and that has improved after some earlier issues. now lets go back to the desk. >> you can go to me, sal. that's right. >> hello, steve. >> hello. a lot of grey skies there and temperatures on the cool side. it's going to stay cool. we will still have fog tomorrow. i think some drizzle. but the pattern showing signs of warming up as we go into the weekend. it won't be crazy hot, but it will warm up. inland temps especially. coast will have to deal with fog. there is a lot of grey out there. sabrina says so tired of the grey mornings. you know, this is national wine day. oh, w-i-n-e. baseball, giants and padres, there will be a good westerly breeze. the low down to los angeles. 58 concord. 56 livermore. 58 san jose. santa rosa 56. they all have overcast skies as well. thunderstorm activity went bonkers yesterday but now it's more central southern sierra also southern part of sacramento valley towards monterey. maybe a little bit santa clara but towards southern california. once that low takes a turn tomorrow then our weather will slowly warm up. today low clouds. a little cool out there. breezy windy. drizzle. below average temps. 70. back to gasia and dave now. santa rosa police say a 15- year-old boy wound inside an officer-involved shooting monday night wanted to die. police responded to a 911 call about a man with a gun near coffee park. when officers arrived they say the teen pointed a weapon at them. police then fired several shots and hit the teen in the foot. as it turns out, the gun was a fake. >> nobody wakes up wanting to go out and shoot somebody. we get into this profession to help the public, you know, and provide a service. really to give back to our community. when something like this happens, it can be very traumatic for the officers and the dispatchers who are involved in this. >> police now say they believe the teen called police himself and may have wanted to be shot. the teenager is now undergoing a psychiatric evaluation. 8:07. happening today san francisco's public defenders office will hold a meeting about the police use of force. several experts will address the crowd. the meeting follows last week's fatal police shooting in the bayview district. a police sergeant fired a shot into a stolen car killing the woman behind the wheel. that shooting marked the end of greg suhr's career as police chief in san francisco. it also renewed a debate about police use of force and the possible use of tasers in san francisco. well, san francisco supervisor david campos introduced a november ballot measure that would drastically reduce the powers of the mayor. "the chronicle" reports that would create a new office this would handle citizen complaints and other duties handled right now by the mayor's office. campos says this new office called the office of public advocate auto would create greater accountability in city government. the critics dismiss the plan as an effort by campos to create a job for himself at city hall. time is now 8:08. we can start talking about hockey now. i am sure the shark tank is going to be rocking tonight. the sharks are now one win away from reaching the stanley cup finals. one. >> just one. and this is the closest they have been to a reaching the stanley cup finales in team history. ktvu's brian flores back in the studio to talk about the sharks player relishing this moment the most. >> they all are. this one particularly. ready for the big game? >> yeah. >> patrick marleau has played 1,500 games since he was drafted as an 18-year-old. after 19 seasons with the team he is close to reaching the stanley cup finals before. he says this year's team is special. >> i think it's been good right from the start i think this year. we won games where, you know, you never think we would. we found the battle and won games all year long. so when things like that happen you get that confidence. being on the road, winning games, it brings you together. >> cheering on patrick marleau during the press conference there. marleau, thornton and the boys will have their hands full with the st. louis team. the sharks are ahead in the series 3-2. they won game five on monday thanks to the three goal third period. tied up at three. tonight the puck drops 6 p.m. at sap center and no doubt the shark tank is going to be filled with fans hungry for a stanley cup final appearance. the head coach says the team is focused. >> it's such a hard trophy to win. as far as we are right now, history has shown that, that it's rare air you're breathing. i think these guys more than anybody recognize that and they want to take advantage of that. >> now, tickets are available but only through resale on the sharks' website. ticketmaster and stubhub, too. some of the tickets we saw, for example, guys, in section 104 at sap center are going for $491. i think this is the first time that some sharks tickets are going for higher than they are for warriors playoffs. >> that's incredible. >> by the way, if the sharks lose, which we know they won't, the series moves back to st. louis on friday. >> this is huge. all right. thank you. warriors are back at home in the bay area this morning. they are on the brink of elimination from the nba playoffs. for the first time all season they lost back-to-back games. oklahoma city won game four last night 118-94 behind russell westbrook's triple- double. draymond green, steph curry just couldn't get going. klay thompson did find a shot in the second half, scoring 19 consecutive points. the thunder were just too much. >> we have to be able to chase down loose balls and long rebounds. otherwise, they are getting just way too many possessions compared to us. >> lucky for us, we are so great at home that this really sucks right now. it's a terrible feeling not even get one here. but you can't -- you just got to play with desperation like our lives are on the line on thursday and go from there. >> the warriors need to win three straight games to get to the finals starting with game five tomorrow at oracle. if the warriors win, they will go back to oklahoma city for game six saturday night. nine of 322 teams that trail three games to one in a best of serve series have come back to win the playoffs. >> keep your fingers crossed. all right. time is 8:12. there was gunfire again last night on an east bay freeway. at 8:30 the investigation into this latest shooting and the lead the chp is following. another violent protest outside a donald trump rally in new mexico. there is also a new development this morning on the investigation into hillary clinton's e-mail scandal. the latest from the campaign trail is up next. still recovering from some earlier issues approaching the bay bridge. it looks okay now. kind of back down to normal. there is our spider. we do have a lot of slow traffic, especially on that 880 ramp. low clouds. some made it out to sacramento, which means they will be in the 70s along with stockton. not much warmer this way as well. we will talk about what's in store for the weekend though. introducing the completely redesigned mercedes-benz c-coupe, with its athletic prowess and sleek new body. it doesn't just raise the bar... ...it completely crushes it. the all-new c-class coupe. mercedes-benz. the best or nothing. from bank of america to buy a new gym bag. before earning 1% cash back everywhere, every time and 2% back at the grocery store. even before he got 3% back on gas. kenny used his bankamericard cash rewards credit card to join the wednesday night league. because he loves to play hoops. not jump through them. that's the excitement of rewarding connections. apply online or at a bank of america near you. the disneyland resort diamond celebration. it's been 60 years in the making. don't miss your chance to see it all dazzle. come celebrate new beginnings like hyperspace mountain... and premiering this summer, frozen, a musical spectacular... plus an all new soarin'. so come to the place where summer dazzles. a large protest in albuquerque, new mexico last night turned violent outside a donald trump rally in albuquerque. some protesters broke through a police barricade. they broke a glass door to the convention center. police say after the rally some in the crowd were throwing rocks and bottles at the police. many of the protesters held signs and banners attacking donald trump for his views on immigration. meantime, police in southern california say they are going to be quick to arrest any violent protesters today at a donald trump rally in anaheim. now, they say they want to prevent a repeat of this kind of violence at trump's last southern california rally. it was in costa mesa last month. in that case protesters damaged several costa mesa police cars. 17 people were arrest. a police spokesman says they will be prepared to take swift action against anyone who breaks the law. there are also reports this morning that house speaker paul ryan is ready to announce he is endorsing donald trump. ryan and trump met two weeks ago in washington, d.c. after ryan said he was not ready to support trump as the republican party presidential nominee. after that meeting the two issued a joint statement calling on republicans to unite. still not clear when ryan's reported endorsement may happen, although he does have a briefing today on the house gop agenda. again that's later today. new this morning a state department audit has faulted hillary clinton and previous secretaries of state for poorly managing e-mail and other computer information. this review was prompted by questions over clinton's use of a private server to conduct official business during her time at secretary of state. it says they are slow to recognize cybersecurity risks associated with electronic data communications. hillary clinton will attend a fundraiser in atherton today and a rally in san jose tomorrow. bernie sanders wrapped up a series of rallies last night in southern california. spoke to an enthusiastic crowd of supporters yesterday afternoon. he delivered speeches in riverside and san bernardino. we might start hearing and seeing sanders ads. his campaign has reportedly launched a $1.5 million campaign to buy ads in california. let's check back with sal. my traffic authority. everybody doing what they're supposed to do out there? >> yeah. we have something i am trying to figure out. i don't see anything. our camera operator kevin noticed this. and also jay martinez our assignment editor drove by it. there is something going on from the ashby avenue exit from the freeway here. you can tell by looking at the traffic, it's all backed up through here. you see that? so i don't see the crash. i think it's behind the trees. but you will see slow traffic as you come up here. so driving over to ashby avenue, this used to be my exit when i was at uc berkeley. right now i would be like furious. i am going to be late to class! anyway, traffic is going to be busy. i only commuted to school one year and i decided that's not a good way to be. all right. let's go ahead and look at the bay bridge toll plaza. there is our spider. it's on the screen right there in the middle. just kind of hanging out. wanted a little tv time. boris our spider has his own twitter page. it's backed up to the maze. the metering lights are on. and this morning if you are driving out to the commute now on the el camino real area in santa clara, well, because of the fire we have been talking about all morning between here and here, it is shut down. the fire was right here. the lawrence expressway is open. the rest of the south bay commute isn't bad. the east bay commute is still slow on 880 between fremont and hayward. this is 280 in san jose. it's slow heading up northbound. 8:19. steve, there was one year when i was commuting to college and it was much better to live on campus because of what we just showed you. ashby avenue, university avenue always a traffic jam. >> well, i understand that because i came home after my first freshman year, summer at chico. after that i said never again.

the rockettes bringing the bell. a new report shows home values continue to rise. home prices increased 7 tenths of a percent in march. it is more than expected. the largest gains were in the west especially here in california. analysts say the pace of the price gained is slowing down a bit. maybe a better time for buy turnovers step in soon. the u.s. securities and exchange commission is looking into china's e-tailing giant alibaba ba. they generated more than $14 billion on their sales ex extravaganza. they are cooperating with the investigation. yahoo here in the bay area owns 15% of alibaba. ceos at the largest u.s. companies got a big raise. the research shows the typical ceo got a 4.5% pay hike. that's about twice as much of a raise as the average american worker. the average compensation for top ceos now $10.8 million. that includes bonuses, stock awards and other benefits. but just to put that into perspective, the average raise was $468,000. that's ten times as much as the average american worker earns in a year. get ready for more ads on google maps. a handful of new ways for brands to advertise google maps. it includes showing people ads from companies like gas stations and restaurants when you are using turn by turn navigation on your phone. the ad will show up at the bottom of the screen with a button that says ad stop. these changes are part of new efforts from google to make money off google maps, which has more than a billion users already. pretty interesting t could then mark places along the way, i guess, if you are driving, you think, that looks like a cool restaurant. you could mark it, save it for later. more advertising everywhere you go. >> thank you, pam. 8:28. an amtrak train slams into an suv in san leandro killing a mother and her daughter. the next step police are taking in the investigation. and this morning the chp once again is searching for whoever opened fire on a car along interstate 80 in hercules last night. one person was left wounded. we will tell you what we know about this investigation and this ongoing series of freeway shootings in the east bay. good morning. we are looking at a commute that is still busy and on eastshore freeway we have a little bit of an issue with the ashby avenue exhibit. also a lot of slow traffic on the bay bridge. plenty of low clouds in place. temperatures on the cool side. it does look like it will gradually warm up as we head to the weekend. we will show you those numbers coming up. hi. is the internet still out?

don't mind 80 on the weekend. >> exactly. or 90 if you are by a pool. >> there you go. >> or in hawaii or something like that. good morning everybody. but i digress. let's take a look at the chp oakland. very nice of them. they watch us. i mentioned something about ashby avenue and they sent us this picture. lane closures on both directions at ashby avenue. this was an earlier dump truck crash. for some reason they didn't put two and two together. the crash is gone, but the debris still remains and the traffic is going to be slow because they are cleaning that up. again that crash is clear, but they are trying to clean this up. that's why, if we go to the east shore picture, i can put it up here. you can see the traffic on eastshore freeway is okay. but if you are driving out to ashby avenue, it is going to be a little bit slow trying to use that ramp. you see down there at the bottom moving from left to right on your screen there? that is going to be slow as you drive towards what we just showed you on the computer heading over there. it's going to be slow for a little while. let's go to the bay bridge toll plaza. the traffic is still slow there. backed up to the maze. 25-minute delay or so. we are also looking at the east bay commute. i want to show you traffic is still slow on 880 south. dumbarton and san mateo bridge are beginning to ease up a little bit to a very normal looking peninsula. normal means a little slow traffic here and there on the way into the valley. 8:34. back to the desk. once again the chp is investigating a freeway shooting that happened last night on interstate 80 in hercules, and one person was wounded. ktvu's alex savidge is out there now to tell us what drivers are saying about this. >> reporter: good morning to you. many drivers, as you could imagine, are on edge, worried they could be caught in the line of fire here despite the fact that the chp believes these ongoing shootings are not random acts of violence. now, let me show you the scene where this latest shooting happened. it was just beyond us there in the lanes on interstate 80. you can see this morning this investigation has wrapped up. all the lanes of traffic are back open for this morning's commute. let me show you the investigation here. it happened about 9:20 last night, this latest shooting. it was west of the highway 4 connectner hercules. several windows were shattered. the chp says one person was shot in the leg. we don't have an update on their condition this morning. the chp believes the shootner this case got away in a black chevy el camino there have been 20 shootings over the past few months along interstate 10 and highway 4. most of them appear to be connected to an ongoing few between gangs. drivers are concerned about how routine these attacks have become. >> is this indicative of the times that we are living in basically? i am sure the police are doing the best they can to try to stop these things. but it's going beyond them. >> reporter: now, earlier this month a woman was shot and killed as she drove along highway 4 in pittsburg. she was the latest person to be killed since late last year in this ongoing series of shootings along east bay freeways. they have been a few people arrested in connection with some of the cases. but authorities say that making arrests has been quite difficult, challenging to get witnesses to come forward. challenging to get the victims in many cases to cooperate with investigators. obviously, if you know anything about the shooting that took place here in hercules last night along interstate 880 or if you have any information on any of these shootings, put in a call right way to the chp. >> thank you. we will talk to you later. the woman and child killed in a crash on train tracks in san leandro have been identified. relatives say the driver of the suv hit by the amtrak train was 30-year-old vanessa henriquez and her three-year-old daughter sadie. police say the

mile. relatives say henriquez was devoted to her family. >> she was a very loving mother. very responsible always with her children. >> she loved just to be with her family. >> at this point pg&e is looking into reports that traffic was heavy in the area because of work crews. police plan to re-create the accident scene to see if the safety guards were working properly. anyone who has surveillance video of the accident, please call them. the santa clara d.a. will not charge two palo alto police officers in the deadly shooting last christmas of a mentally ill man. those officers

reason for the crash has not yet been determined. yesterday an expert in egypt said evidence on the human remains recovered so far indicates an explosion on the plane. the head of egypt's forensic investigation says the assessment was mere speculation and it's too early to draw con solutions. the plane's black boxes have not been found. happening today a homeland security committee will hold a hearing on legislation to deal with the long airport security checkpoints. now, waits of up to three hours have been reported at airports around the country. those lines may get even longer during the

immigration status of inmates with federal immigration officials made national news last year when kate steinle was shot and killed near pier 14 in san francisco. the man charged with killing her is from mexico and he is in this country illegally. last night the supervisors approved changes that clarify when local law enforcement can notify immigration officials that an undocumented inmate will be released from custody. the new guidelines say that can happen if a suspect is charged with a violent crime or has been convicted of a recent serious felony. >> you come in with a serious or violent felony and you have priors, then you could be subject to notification to i.c.e. >> the sheriff wanted more discretion to notify immigration officials when a suspect was being released. mayor ed lee still has to sign the ordinance before it becomes law. even if the ordinance had been in effect last year, it would not have applied to the suspect in the killing of kate steinle because his previous felony convictions were not considered serious. time is 8:47 kindergartens are going to have a longer day. the school board voted 4-1 to change kindergarten schedules to all day start this fall. the

sal. >> yeah, dave, we still have a lot of slow traffic out there. i want to show you the bay bridge because there is still plenty of waiting to do as you come into san francisco. there are no major

of a normal commute up to downtown oakland. and 880 southbound is improving a little bit. it's slowing through fremont. 101 in san jose is slow. it slows out of san jose solid up to just past 237. we have had a couple of issues here. you can see all that slow traffic. i would not recommend northbound 101 coming through. use another way to get up to sunnyvale mountain view. lots of low clouds still in place. we will get some clearing north to south. low clouds maybe even out to the sacramento valley. so that's a pretty strong surge there. so it's going to be on the cool side today. not very many breaks. a lot of drizzle. 8 a.m. observation out of the oakland airport says drizzle. plenty of low clouds. we will get some clearing, but it's a slow process. doug ahrens, a friend of the show, has a

morning long at about these temps even down to morgan hill and san martin, boulder creek, scots valley, 58 san jose state, saratoga's in there. 39 up in truckee. 55 ukiah and also monterey to only 59 down in santa barbara. lake county, mendocino county was big. today it likes you are too far to the to -- too far to the south. southern california, they will be dealing with it as that low tracks out of the area. high pressure will build in. not much change today. we will see warmer weather. i am not going bonkers on that. i think 80s through the interior and inland areas. 60s near the coast heading into the weekend. there is a lot of fog here. low clouds, sunny to breezy, drizzle gives way to showers to the south developing later. 60s to 70s. temperatures held in check by that low cloud deck. i mean, pretty cool for this time of year for those well away from the coast. if you are by the coast, you might be used to it. still on the cool side here even for downtown san jose. only 68 and 50s, 60s on the coast, in the city, upper 60s for low 70s on the peninsula. fog again tomorrow. i think we will get drizzle. looks warmer, daeche. but not crazy as we go into the weekend. >> thank

would allow good samaritans to smash a car window to save a pet without worrying about being sued. however, there are some restrictions. >> this is not a license for you to break windows. this is an opportunity for you to use your sound judgment at the point where you feel it's necessary for you to break that window and then you have to stay and wait until law enforcement arrives and to be able to explain the situation. >> so there are restrictions. several states including florida and tennessee, they already have similar laws. california scientists studying the lake tahoe area say they found another sign of the warming climate. research shows a growing number of trees in the sierra, they are naturally shifting to higher elevations searching for cooler temperatures. the trees are
