delay than usual in the area, and there's an overturned big rig. southbound 680 as you drive down to mission boulevard. it's on the shoulder, but traffic may be a little bit slow as you head down the grade. i'm not seeing too much of a road sensor activity, you will see traffic there that might be slow in a while. 7:03, let's go back to the desk. >> thank you, sal. we begin with the developing story we have been covering through the morning in charlotte, north carolina, where tensions continue to run high. you see here just some of the continuing clashes between police and protesters. >>

said, hey, i'm worried that this might escalate. the university is taking this matter seriously. the staff met last night with students from both of the dorms, which were washburn hall and campus village. they talked to them about the student's concerns. one of the swastikas was made by piecing names together on a white board, and another in a common area of students. racial slurs were alongside both of the symbols. all has removed, and this comes as the university tries to improve the racial climate. the chief diversity officer said, i know students are upset. upset on behalf of other people. upset at just the existence of these types of hate symbols and incidents or that somebody would do this. >> seeing that kind of stuff, like, right next door to you, kind of shocking. especially in a place like this where it's a really diverse campus. so like seeing people hate like, hate crimes like that, is really disappointing to see. >> back in february, three former students were found guilty of misdemeanor battery for harassing their african- american roommate in 2013. the students who were white were accused of putting a bike lock around his neck and using racial slurs. that incident caused outrage, and now with the discovery of the swastikas, the university is trying to act swiftly. the president released this message saying quote i am saddened and outraged by this news. i have spoken with campus and community leaders and shared our resolve to provide a safe learning environment where difficult issues can be addressed collaboratively, and transparently. now, the university police, they are reviewing surveillance video trying to see if they can catch either the person or persons who are responsible for putting up the swastikas. and we are told that if they are caught, they could even face going to some sort of intervention program or even expulsion. mike. >> thank you. happening right now, officials in north carolina are providing an update on the violent overnight protests, a third night in a row in charlotte connected to the deadly police shooting earlier in the week. speaking to the media is mayor of charlotte, jennifer roberts. let's listen in a little bit. >> today our city is open for business as usual and we let people know come to our uptown. we are here working. our buses are running. we are here to serve, and the city is open. we are working with our partners and putting measures in place to provide for the protection of our city this evening. once again, i thank all of the community partners who have been working so hard with us to ensure this collaboration going forward. we saw some tremendous work in that area last night. i want to especially thank our religious leaders, our faith leaders, our community leaders who were out last night working so hard to keep the protest peaceful. i'm now going to turn it over to the chief of police, chief putney to provide more details. chief? chief? we're waiting to hear from the police chief. >> looks like we're having technical issues when it's my turn to talk, so please be patient. are we ready? can you hear me? >> we'll wait until they get this straightened out. >> everybody doing okay? good. od. good morning. first of all, i'm not here to defend a position. i'm here to give you some information. we have had a lot of things that transpired last night that we're still trying to piece together, and that will make more sense once i get into the chronology of what exactly took place. yesterday, at about 6:00 p.m., a group of peaceful protesters from marshal park moved toward the police headquarters building, and began to exercise their first amendment. this was a very peaceful demonstration. later on, additional, hey, there it is. additional protesters started to join the ranks of the initial peaceful protesters and they began to block some of the roadways as they headed towards the transit center and the epicenter. at about 8:00 p.m., a group started to jump on vehicles in about the 700 block of east 7 7th street, and they began to damage property at the epicenter. we deployed our civil emergency unit at that point to deescalate the situation, and again, restore order. at about 8:30, we had officers who responded to north college street, and east trade street for an assault with a deadly weapon callment call -- call. one person was located with an apparent gunshot wound, and he was located there in the omni hotel. right now that shooting victim is in criminal condition. due to concerns around security, the victim was evacuated by our s.w.a.t armored personnel carrier. we couldn't get medic in at the time because of the size of the crowd. the victim was then transferred to medic and was transported to cmc main, as i said, with life threatening injuries. at that point, because of the size of the crowd, we deployed gas and that would have been at about 8:43:00 p.m. the reason i say i'm not defending a position is the shooting that took place, there's a lot of information about who did that shooting. we're reviewing video. and we're assessing our people who were there as well because the allegation was made that one of our officers might have been involved. as i said before, guys, we're here to seek the truth. >> you are listening to the police chief there in charlotte, chief putney, talking and giving an update about what happened in his city. says the peaceful protest began around 6:00 p.m. in the evening, folks marching down to department headquarters. others joined in, and that's when they started blocking roadways. property was damaged and soon after that, one person was found shot. that individual transported in a bear cat to the hospital lested in critical condition. >> we have not heard from the police chief this morning whether or not he's going to choose to release police body camera video from the shooting incident. previously he had said he's not going to. there's a new law that is about to take effect that requires the court's say in that happening. so we do wait to hear if he's perhaps changed his mind or stand on that. we'll continue to monitor the news conference in the ktvu newsroom and we'll be back with more at 8:00 on the developing stories. members of the black lives matter movement are continuing their protest against the july police shooting of an african- american man. >> we will not be silent. black lives matter. >> demonstrators rallied blocks from where the shooting happened. protesters say there was no need for officers to open fire on a person who is mentally ill. police fired 18 shots. 14 of them hit the 50-year-old suspect. sacramento has released dash cam and surveillance video of the deadly confrontation. >> i saw an execution, i saw a judge, jury, and an execution take place. i didn't see them trying to save a life. i seen them trying to take a life. >> the protest was peaceful but many businesses did choose to close early after a private security company warned them about the demonstration. when officers responded to the disturbance call in july, they were told the suspect was armed, but investigators never found the gun. the city of berkeley is joining the cities of san francisco and oakland in looking for a new police chief. chief michael mehan announced he's stepping down from the post. city leaders say he was instrument really in reducing bias -- instrumental in reducing bias. no reason was given for the departure, but there are reports that some of the rank file were unhappy with his leadership. andrew greenwood is taking over as active chief, and he has been with the force for 31 years. former oakland police chief sean went applied for the position but did not get selected to fill the opening. he was one of the finalists. the city manager announced that a job went to dell freeze. the chief of the greenfield police department in monterey county. remained in the public eye in june as he resigned as oakland's chief. we continue to monitor the news conference happening in charlotte. we have learned that the charlotte police department will let keith scott's family watch the video that came from the police body camera. that is a new development, and wanted to pass that onto you before we bring back leigh martinez for more on what's happening in the unrest in charlotte. getting hard numbers on racial injustice. what a new study from the washington post reveals about the number of african-americans shot and killed by police this year. i don't want to feel like i'm a virgin to people. i take the initiative to handle myself. >> a young man's sense of responsibi an 18-year-old from vallejo has been working two hours, to and from work, but benicia police are making his commute a little bit easier. jordan duncan works in vallejo and lives in benicia. he has been picking the walk since may as he tries to save up for school and a new car. an officer got to know him after noticing him on a trek, and offering him a ride. >> he said so you walk from work to vallejo? i was like, you know, if i have no other way. >> there's not a lot of 18-year- olds out there that have this dedication, and this work ethic and we wanted to make sure that he knew how much i actually appreciated what he's doing. >> corporal keeper was so impressed with the teen's work ethic, he and the members of the benicia police officer's association surprised him at work on monday with a mountain bike and after hearing about his goal to be an officer, they are working to give him a ride along in the coming weeks. let's bring in sal and another look at the thursday morning commute. hey, sal. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> northbound 280, and i don't know, kind of routine, coming in downtown san jose, and getting to the valley, the west valley, where most people seem to be going this time of morning. you know what has been disappointing is the highway 17 commute. an earlier accident near the kass restaurant and the damage is done, and you know that that section, it doesn't take much for the section to be really slow, and look at the slow traffic coming in on the santa cruz mountains. we have speeds that are way low coming down to the mountains here. 8 miles an hour. that's enough to put you in a really bad mood getting up to the see. now, the rest of the valley traffic is going to be slow and 101 is solid from about the airport to mountain view, and 237 the same, getting to the main area in mountain view. let's take a quick look at the bay bridge toll plaza. that is backed up for a 20 to 25 minute delay. i want to remind you that oracle open world, today is the last official day they're going to start reopening howard street sometime over the weekend, and next week we should have a better week when howard street reopens between 3rd and 4th. 7:48, let's go to steve. >> and steve, i forgot to mention in my report, it's very windy out there. >> can i be honest, i like fall. i do. everybody has their certain time of the year, i like fall. >> you and mibach, do you know his favorite month is october. >> my favorite month is march. fields are green, air is clean. i'll show what we have here, pretty good visibility. we got rid of a lot of smoke and haze. air quality is much better. it's a chilly one. we had temperatures that started the week off hot. sunday, monday, livermore, 100 and 101. tuesday, 89. yesterday, 74. today 72. come on, that's quite a dramatic fall on the temps. altamont pass, gusts to 49 this morning. twin peak at 2:00 a.m., gusts to 42. sfo40. fisherman's wharf, 36 miles per hour. many, many, between 30, 35, 40. san francisco today, 64, 53. average is 70, 55. below on both. 97 back in 1939. west at san jose. sfo calming down a little bit. hayward, 10, livermore, west, southwest, not everybody is in on the breeze. some areas are calm. there are many roaring along. the fog is flying down the coast and pulling off much of the coast. i expect that to disbear later on. in-- disappear later on. the system responsible is in northern california. decent low, and there will be thunder shower activity, most of it confined northeast california and eventually in the sierra. it's not there yet. will get there later tonight. snow was possible above 6500. right down out of the northwest, scouring everything out eventually. oakland west at 10. santa rosa north another 7. nova doe, 16 to 20. 40, 45 around big rock, and travis, west, southwest at 9. 47 napa to low, mid-50s all over the place. temperatures on the peninsula, remarkably within the degree or two. los altos cooler. and belmont, san carlos at 56. 19 up in truckee. 19 up in truckee. 51, ukiah. 50 in sacramento. 33 incline village. south lake tahoe, we're in there as well. yesterday, 50s 60s, not today. the cold windy conditions will be replaced. it's getting closer in the northern part, inching south ward. all associated with this low right there. it's a beauty. that is a beauty, and that is going cooler air all the way to southern california but i think things will pop up north and east of us later today. maybe lake county, i would think more towards the east; 60s and 70s. that is it. this will be the coolest day. tomorrow morning will be cold, breezy, but sunny and warm. warm to hot as we head to the weekend. sunday looks like a beautiful day if you want to head to the coast. >> glad we have the early soccer game this weekend. we know doctors say high fat and high cholesterol diet can lead to heart disease. there's something else we should be

for years we have been told fat and cholesterol can lead to heart disease. new research find another sweet ingredient may be to blame. we'll bring in pam cook for more on today's health check. >> we're talking about sugar. sugar may be to blame. sounds like that information was actually covered up for a long time. researchers found that the sugar industry actually paid harvard researchers to say fat, not sugar, caused heart disease. now this was back in the 1960s so that was before conflict of interest had to be reported. doctors now say the truth is fat and cholesterol do contribute to heart disease, but so does sugar. one cardiologist said doctors are beginning to understand how added sugars and processed food and drinks can trigger heart disease. >> we think we understand why added sugar can trigger heart disease and it has to do with inflammation creating chemicals in your body that attack your artery, causing them to be irritated and probably causes us to be insulin resistant, more prone to being overweight and diabetic. >> he says that's all you need to get the cycle started and doctors say children and women should have no more than 24 grams of added sugar a day, which is less than a can of soda. men should have no more than 36 grams a day, which is about as much as one candy bar, however, you should know that things that might seem healthy like dried fruit can actually have as much added sugar as a candy bar. check the labels. that's why they're there. but we're used to hearing sugar and diabetes but now sugar and heart disease as well. >> and you reported in recent months there's a push to change the food labels to say this many grams of natural sugar and added sugar. >> a realistic serving size. >> the whole bag of chips is from what i understand not one serving. >> right it's 5 chips which most of us don't eat. >> good to know, good to keep in mind. the giants, cardinals and mets remain in a tie for the two national league wild card spots after they all lost yesterday. the giants did take an early lead against the dodgers, in the first inning, single to drive in denard span. that gave starter matt moore a 1-0 lead but he promptly gave up five runs in the bottom of the 1 1st. dodgers won a final of 9-3. the combineds go to san diego to start -- giants go to san diego to start a four game series with the padres. designated hitter, evan gattis hit two home runs yesterday, including the two run shot until the 6th. at's got within a run, but the pinch runner was thrown out trying to steal 2nd. astros won 6-5. we continue to follow the changes situation in charlotte, north carolina. the city is picking up the pieces really after another night of chaos. we heard from the mayor, and police chief live just a short time ago. we'll have the latest on the protests of a shooting f of an african-american man by place. a man hit mayor kevin johnson in the face with a fie. the scuffle that ensued as johnson reportedly tackled him. it's still slow out there, although today we seem to be having an uneventful day when it comes to major accidents. we have had a couple incidents slowing traffic. we'll tell you more about that coming up. looks pretty nice out the old weather window. can be deceiving. for some, cooler thursday temps coming up. is that coffee? yea, it's nespresso. i want in. ♪ you're ready. ♪ get ready to experience a cup above. is that coffee? nespresso. what else? this has been a difficult couple of days for the city of charlotte. the events that we saw last night are not the charlotte that i know and love. >> the mayor of charlotte, north carolina, on the violence in her city following a deadly police shooting. >> this is ktvu mornings on 2. and good morning, everyone. welcome back to mornings on 2. it is thursday, september 22nd september 22nd. i'm mike mibach. >> i'm gasia mikaelian. let's go ahead and check weather and traffic for you. fall is officially underway, and it feels like it steve. >> that is correct. no doubt about it. the wind seems to be tailing off a little bit. it was really roaring overnight, and cool lows this morning. i did see a 43 in penn grove. the air quality is good. low clouds but looks like most is clearing off. a good system up north and east, and the sierra might deal with snow showers later today. jake mckenzie, 44 degrees and calm. no wind at all so far. there were cool lows this morning. that's for sure. the wind seems to be the bigger story. altamont pass, sfo, gusts of 40. fisherman's wharf 46. a breezy, blustery day. some of the low clouds, looks like it's peeling off. the low up north is firing off, and eventually that will slide into the area. for everyone else, it's going to be a cool breeze. 50s on the temps. some upper 40s. 46 above los gatos. and cool readings on the coast as well. low to mid-50s. this system again, northeast california, right there, it will turn in and start to exit out by tonight, and tomorrow we'll rebound. all about cool temps, 60s and 70s. 8:02 here, a little busy where. >> well, it's very busy on the east shore freeway, steve, and one of the things i have noticed is that we're almost at 90 minutes. almost, not quite, when it comes to driving between the carcinas bridge and the macarthur maze. 83 minutes, well, you know, maybe 7 minutes away, it would be 90 minutes. it would be an hour and a half, to drive the stretch between the carcinas bridge, and mcarthur. most of the slow traffic is just before highway 4, and it's super slow coming on down all the way down to berkeley, and again, it is going to take you 83 minutes from that stretch. please give yourself a lot of extra time. when you get to the bay bridge, the calendar starts again. when you get to the bay bridge, wait 20 minutes to get onto that span before you make it onto the bridge. let's talk about more east bay commutes. 880 southbound; slows 238, to fremont, milpitas. i was discussing this yesterday with someone. thiscommute has gone from acceptable to are you kidding me. every freeway is slow getting into the west valley. 17 recovering from earlier accidents. 8:03, let's go back to the desk. developing news from charlotte, north carolina, as that city tries to recover from another night of violent protests. we just brought you a live news conference from the mayor and police chief as they both address what's happening in charlotte. the national guard has arrived in that city to help local police there after the governor declared a state of emergency. meantime, several local businesses told their employees not to come to work today for their safety. ktvu's leigh martinez has been following all the developments in the case, joining us from the newsroom. >> there's quite a few. the mayor says the family of keith lamont scott, the man shot and killed by police on tuesday will see police body camera video today. the chief is also saying that in the video it does not definitively show that scott pointed a gun. now, police also announced they are now investigating a new shooting that happened during last night's protest. a protester was shot and critically injured. police say there are allegations that a charlotte police officer may have been involved, so they're thoroughly investigating that shooting. we also have new video sent to us from molly stahl who recorded the moment right after the shooting. what you're about to see is graphic. the woman in the crowd kneels down and touches the shooting victim's blood on the ground, and wipes the victim's blood on the officers standing around at the crowd shouting at the police they have blood on them. the night began peacefully with a prayer vigil for keith lamont scott, the african-american man shot and killed tuesday by charlotte police. the groups left the vigil to march through uptown. police in riot gear fired tier gas at demonstrators -- tear gas at demonstrators. according to police, protesters looted businesses and set fires. at one point, a group storms into the hyatt hotel, and injured two employees there. police say they made a total of 44 arrests. now, the streets of charlotte are calm this morning but at least 5 uptown businesses have told their employees that they are not required to come into work today. the mayor is also considering a curfew, and we have some new news in that our sources in our fox station in charlotte hearing that the president of the carolina panthers and the nfl are meeting to discuss whether or not to move sunday's game. >> leigh martinez with the latest. thank you. now, warrior's star steph curry as you know is from charlotte. yesterday he tweeted this, praying for my city, we deserve better than this. hash tag 704, which is charlotte's area code, and added the hash tag of keith lamont scott. a community vigil was held in tulsa, oklahoma. a local church hosted the service aimed at bringing people of different races together. police were responding to reports of an abandoned vehicle last friday when officer betty shelby shot and killed terrence crutcher. crutcher's family went to new york yesterday to receive support from civil rights leader, reverend al sharpton. >> we have gotten support from all around the world. people from different walks of life, different cultures, different backgrounds, different races and they want justice just as we do. >> officer shelby says she was on scene more than a minute before the start of the dash cam video. crutcher appeared to be high on drugs, possibly pcp and that he repeatedly ignored her commands and with his arms raised he went towards his vehicle. the officer thought he was reaching for a weapon, so she fired first. >> questions are being raised about police policies n. tulsa, police did release the video of the terrence crutcher shooting out of a commitment to full transparency, and disclosure. in north carolina, the police have not released the video to the public. they expect to do that for the family. they say it's because of a law going into effect that requires the judge to make the decision. officials say the law is made to protect public safety officer. >> our question of the day is this, should police departments be required to release all video of officer involved shootings. let us know what you think by posting a comment on our ktvu facebook page and tweet us with the hash tag ktvu. gasia, you're getting a lot of talk about this on your facebook page. >> we'll have your responses throughout the morning. now to a washington post study published today on the issue of deadly police shootings. so far this year, 706 people in the u.s. have been shot and killed by police. though african-americans make up 13% of the u.s. population, they account for 25% of police fatalities. hispanics account for 16%, and white people who make up 77% of the u.s. percent of the pop lakes, make up 45% of fatal police shootings. the presidential candidates mainly campaign addressing the deadly shootings in charlotte and tulsa, oklahoma. in a town hall in cleveland, donald trump advocated the use of a controversial police technique to prevent violence. >> i would do stop and frisk. i think you have to. we did it in new york. it worked incredibly well, and you have to be proactive. >> in 2013, a federal court found the use of the tactic to be discriminatory. bill de blasio elected the mayor of new york, promising to end the overuse, and hillary clinton campaigned in orlando and said many police chiefs have told her they are committed to reform. >> we have two more names to add to a list of african- americans killed by officers in these encounters. it's unbearable. and it needs to become intolerable. >> the former secretary of state also expressed support for law enforcement saying america is safer, quote when communities respect the politics and the police respect communities. police in concord are investigating the shooting of a man and woman in their home. at 9:50 last night, officers responded to a report of gunfire on bella drive. when they arrived. they found a 29-year-old woman and 28-year-old suffering from gunshot gunshot gunshot wounds inside their home. they both provided information to police. police aren't releasing much information saying only the suspects were wearing all black clothing and drove off in a car. no word on the condition of the man and woman who were shot or a possible motive. nba star kevin johnson is thanking sacramento pd for catching the man who hit him with a fie. johnson's chief of staff said the incident was quite scary, and the mayor did indeed defend himself after being hit. the mayor seen at an event last year said the attack was not funny. until last night, though, he did not know anything about thompson. another racial incident on the san jose state university campus. the graffiti discovered in two dorms and how students are reacting. and a big development on the split of brad pitt and angelina jolie. the criminal allegations involving the couple's children that may have led to the hollywood super star's break up. we have had a tough commute for the east bay drivers and also for the south bay. this for east shore freeway commute is almost a 90 minute drive from near the carcinas bridge to the bay bridge. except for patchy low clouds, peninsula, san mateo coast, it's going to be sunny, breezy and on the cool side for the first day of fall. we'll show you the numbers. follow your own sense of style... because, you want to be confident. t.j.maxx really helped us express our creative side. that's the best part. you don't know what you're going to find. i always find great deals on shoes... purses... we're a team. yeah. maxx life at t.j.maxx. new this morning, a big development in a divorce filing of brad pitt and angelina jolie. tmz is reporting this morning that pitt is under investigation for child abuse allegations. it reports the allegations stem from a recent flight aboard a private jet. sources say pitt started screaming and getting physical with his children. witnesses say pitt continued the rant even once the plane landed. sources say someone at the airport reported the incident to the los angeles department of children and family services as well as lapd. jolie reportedly decided to separate from pitt the very next day. pitt is not commenting but someone close to him reportedly told tmz he takes the matter seriously and denies abusing his children: fbi agents are not able to question the suspect in the new york, new jersey bombings as he remains unconscious. investigators continue to look into the background of ahmad rahami. they say this journal taken from him shows he was inspired by al-qaeda and isis. he faces four federal charges including using weapons of mass destruction. federal prosecutors say rahami wrote in the journal the sound of bombs will be heard in the streets and there would be revenge against the u.s. government for killing muslim warriors. >> talking about among other things, jihad, pipe bombs, a pressure cooker bomb, as well as laudatory references to osama bin laden. >> investigators want to interview these two men seen on surveillance video walking up to a suitcase that contained a pressure cooker bomb. the men took out the device and left it behind but walked away with the luggage. police say they considered these two men witnesses. a homeless man being considered a hero after he and a friend found a backpack containing one of the bombs. >> it was too big to fit in. it was sitting right there. >> god chose me for whatever reason, i just did what i had to do. >> way to go boom, right there. the bomb squad safely detonated the explosives, anthony parker called police when he came across the bomb which contained wires and pipes. the backpack got his attention because he was looking for something to put his belongings in. he is currently using garbage cans. he's says he needs a backpack and is hoping for good fortune. it looks like that might happen. a go fund me site now stands at $20,000. let's turn over to sal right now, and a check of the roadways. happy fall first, sal. >> why thank you. we're officially in fall, and the traffic sure does look like it. in summer times we get breaks. we're not getting any of those breaks now. let's go to the bay bridge toll plaza. start with a 25 to 30 minute delay. what is is it that i'm trying to say here. the east shore freeway, the toll plaza, the whole thing in combination is going to be slow as you drive this morning. there have been no major problems as you drive in this stretch, but there have been some slow downs. interstate 880 north, and again we have a lot of slow traffic driving through the area. if we can go to the maps, one of the worst commutes in the bay has been the silicon valley commute. 101 is very slow. it's really solid from southern san jose all the way up into palo alto. 17 is slow. 85 is slow. we have had some accidents but this is just a volume problem. a lot of people are in their cars and on the road heading into the west valley. 8:17. it's been windy out there, steve. a lot of wind on the altamont pass still. >> absolutely, since we got here, 4:00 this morning, gusts strong here. temperatures, though, really dropping since they peaked out on sunday, monday. guess what, though, they're going to go right back up by the weekend. today some pretty cool temps. livermore just this week. 100 on sunday, 101 on monday. 89 tuesday. 74 yesterday. 72 today. the gusts all over the place. altamont pass almost 50 miles per hour. sfo, gusts of 40 earlier. fisherman's wharf, 36. higher elevations between 35 and 40 miles per hour. mount tam, big rock, there have been gusts about 40 as well. due west at sfo, hayward, livermore, san jose, mountain view. low clouds moving down the coast, patchy on the san mateo coast, parts of santa clara valley, also on the santa cruz coast, but i think they will get chewed up here. the key is the low up in the northern part of the state. it's really firing up over the northeast part. susanville, quincy, the bernie basin, and now beginning to develop just to the north t outside truckee, which dipped to 19 degrees this morning. truckee, california, you can see some of the activity as the low drops south, it's going to figure into an afternoon, i think, of some afternoon thunder showers, north and east and over the sierra. northwest at oakland airport, 25, 30 early this morning, and there have been pretty strong gusts around novato. pen grove is 43. many 40s, now we're getting away to 50s. berkeley, one observation, still at 50 degrees, outside napa. 48 degrees. 46 this morning, kelseyville. that's very cool. hey, it's already 28. warming up fast there in truckee after the morning low of 19. ukiah 52. sacramento 50. very cool there. a lot developing up in northeast california and eventually that's going to spin into the sierra. you can get the good look there. this carves itself out. another system up there. that will brush to the north, tonight, tomorrow, and high pressure builds in rapidly for the weekend. 60s and 70s, as you might imagine, well below average for this time of year. this again, is the coolest, tomorrow morning will be cold and after that, warm up quick. it looks really warm as we head towards sunday into monday. >> up and down, steve, thank you. a sculpture was turned into a billboard of hate. students are spreading a different message as a way to support a school administrator. we are hanging out this morning at six flags discovery kingdom in vallejo. we are getting a sneak peek at a one of a kind experience. a virtual reality roller coaster, rage of gargoyle. i'm going to put these headsets on and take a ride, tell you what it's all about coming up. time is 8:23. six flags kingdom in vallejo is entering a new frontier. >> debuting a virtual reality addition of kong. alex savidge joining us live from vallejo to show us how it works. >> good morning to you guys, it is a new experiment here for roller coaster riders. this is the kong roller coaster at six flags. what you're going to do here is you're going to be essentially playing a video game, putting on these virtual reality headsets and then taking a ride on the roller coaster. it's called rage of the gargoyles. i'm joined here by charles loriano of six flags. thanks for taking the time. i saw you riding this a couple times this morning. what happens when i put this headset on here. what is the experience i get? >> these headsets are actually sync'd to a computer on the train. it allows everyone to have the same experience on the same track, and we use optical sensors and guy -- gyros. >> why is it called rage of the gargoyles. >> because you're saving the city from the gargoyles that are attack. >> am i able to interact with the game? >> yes, sir, and what you're going to be doing is shooting the gargoyles through the entire ride as you're flying through the city. >> and i'm told by the end of this, there's a gargoyle, the master gargoyle, i have to take him out. >> not this guy. >> but there's a fight and we've got to win. >> so we're going to give this thing a shot here, and we can record, i think, what the virtual reality world that we're seeing, so we're going to hop on. i'm going to get all geared up here you guys and charles and i are going to give this thing a ride. you can see what i see here in these virtual reality headsets. i don't know, what do you think? would you give this a shot. >> i'm not scared at all by roller coasters, but i might prefer the real thing so i'm looking forward to your review which we'll have later on. >> i think i'm out but have fun, be safe. >> thank you, alex. >> bye guys. new this morning, the macarthur foundation announced the 2016 genius gantts. 23 people get a $625,000 grant. five of them have ties to the bay area. gene yang, taught at bishop high school in oakland for 17 years. we interviewed him in january. aggie nelson a nonfiction writer, director of the creative writing program at the california institute of the arts in southern california. vincent fecto, a sculptor from san francisco, known for using unassuming materials like paper ma shay and card board. jose, a director of mission asset fund. he creates a pathway to financial services for people with limited or no financial access. and manu prakash, a physical biologist and inventor. congratulations to all. a surprise for a hard working vallejo teen who walks two hours to week in benicia. the act of kindness by some benicia police officers. outrage on the campus of the university after swastikas are found in the freshman dorms. how the university and students are responding. we're looking at a commute that is going to be okay in most areas, but we do have an incident in san francisco that is slowing traffic and we have big delays on this freeway. interstate 80 as you head out to the macarthur maze. looks like a sunny day. the breeze is the big story, and cool temps on the first day of fall. warmer conditions by the weekend. we'll have more on that. ♪ you're ready. ♪ get ready to experience a cup above. is that coffee? nespresso. what else? "it's halloween time my frightful fiends, and disneyland is ours!" "going down!" "boo!" (screams) halloween time at the disneyland resort means there's wicked fun in both parks... and make sure to see the twilight zone tower of terror before it's final check out. "trick or treat." thunder, september 22nd. i'm gasia mikaelian. >> i'm mike mibach. let's get you right to sal. i know you have breaking news about a suspicious package in the city. >> on van ess between mission and market, that area, where van es turns into south van es, there's a suspicious package that muni operators and the san francisco police noticed and that street in that area is closed as they investigate muni bus lines 47 and 49 are being rerouted. those are the buses with the overhead electrical lines so they have to go around the block and there are delays in that area. it's also near the civic center b.a.r.t. station. it really is one of the busiest areas of san francisco. it's unknown whether this is affecting the f line that also runs on market street there. but there is police activity. police won't say anything except there is an active scene there and they are not saying anything more. if you are driving or commuting to the area, you should expect delays and closure. we'll try and find out more about what's going on as details develop. let's go to some other commutes now. i want to show you that the bay bridge toll plaza is backed up for about a 25 minute delay. but you are going to see a lot of slow traffic just getting to that point. i want to show you 80 westbound. still very slow all the way down to the area. we have slow traffic on the richmond bridge approach, which is not unusual. and 680 is slow from concord to walnut creek. these are the typical delays of fall, and they are pretty robust, and also pretty windy out there. let's bring steve in at 8:31. >> you nailed it a couple days ago, you said we're getting packed now, everybody seems to be back. good call there. >> that's exactly it. >> we have breezy windy conditions, rather chilly this morning. the strongest gusts were early this morning, starting to taper off a little bit. rather blustery, higher elevations, san jose west at 10. still some patchy low clouds, but seems to be favoring now more of the san mateo, santa cruz coast, i don't think they will last too long. the system, which has dropped into northern california, northeast california, starting to really fire up thunderstorms activity and there will be some snow showers in the higher elevations beginning to bubble up around the reno area as well. later today, and it was quite cold in the sierra this morning. truckee dipped to 19 degrees. big rock had gusts over 40 this morning near novato, and quite cool. santa rosa has a due north wind, a warm direction for them. most locations will be on the cooler side. will not be surprised if santa rosa is the warmest spot. 50s on the temp. low, mid- to upper. no 60s yet. brentwood has checked in. livermore at 54 degrees. things are beginning to develop rapidly, all associated with the low right there, and that's going to give the sierra snow later today. sunny, mostly sunny, breezy on the cool side. 60s and 70s. back to gasia and mike. a disturbing discovery at san jose state. swastikas and racist language found inside two residence halls there. at this point the university is looking for whoever is responsible. our janine de la vega spent the morning on campus, getting reaction from students. >> swastikas were found in the freshman dorms, one of them behind me in washman hall. students i spoke with are calling it stupid. others are wondering if it was a joke. university staff met with students from the two dorms last night, to talk about what happened. the swastikas were reported tuesday night, and one of the symbols was found on the door of the third flor, the other was drawn on a white board in a common area on a suite of campus village. hateful slurs were written alongside both of the swastikas. everything has been removed. some students worry it may escalate. we spoke with a freshman who tell us us whoever did this lacks maturity. >> they're used to high school where it's funny to make fun of people. and they're out in the real world, they have to grow up. it's not funny anymore. >> it sets me off a little bit. like, it's feels weird to not be comfortable in your own campus, because like my mom even texted me, oh, did you hear about what happened. it's weird to see that your campus is on the news so often for probably not the best things. >> san jose state university's president was in long beach for work related meetings but she is cutting her trip short and coming back to campus today because of this. she released a statement saying she's saddened and outraged by the news and working to address it in a transparent matter. university police, they are reviewing surveillance video to find out whoever is responsible but they would also like anybody who might have information to contact them. reporting from san jose state university, janine de la vega ktvu fox 2 news. students at a north bay high school are reacting after racist graffiti targeting their assistant principal was on
