On the grade. What is happening now. Now the crash is cleared, it has been gone for an hour but the damage is done when it comes to the commute in the east bay. 680 straight out of pleasanton all the way down to fremont because of an earlier crash on the grade. It is still very, very slow. Driving through. If you drive this commute and youre thinking, okay, i need to add extra time, you level do. And alternate routes really arent suggested. And ill tell you why. Because if youre driving over to 238 and 880 southbound, there was also an accident at mawry avenue that has 880 under the limit as well. Lets talk about highway 4. Slow from the slow from the antioch area all the way out to concord. That is kind of a slow commute. And traffic on the east shore freeway this morning from the cara liu bring to the macarthur maze, taking just a little bit less than 40 minutes at the bay bridge toll plaza. We have a backup of about 25 minutes before you make it on to the bridge. And San Francisco crowded but not stop and go on 101 near the 80 split. 7 02. Lets go back to the desk. We will go back to the breaking news that we have been bringing you sending shock waves through washington and the rest of the country this morning. Powerful member of congress was shot this morning. He is in the hospital recovering. Congressman Steve Scalise of louisiana was wounded along with several other people as they were practicing on a baseball field. Ktvus allie rasmus, you have been on this story all morning. Youre in the news room. Tell us what happened . What do you know. Four people were shot and wounded. One from a congressional member of congress. Representative Steve Scalise was shot, struck in the hip. Air lifted in stable condition. He is expected to be okay. This is all happening around 7 00 eastern time in alexandria, virginia. A group of 25 republican members of congress were practicing for the congressional baseball game. It is supposed to happen tomorrow. In the video you see Steve Scalise who was shot being rushed away and air lifted to a local hospital. Again, he is in stable condition, expect today recover. He was coherent and able to talk to some of the other representatives and witness whos were there shortly after he was shot. But one of his aides was also reportedly shot, rushed to the hospital. We are also told he is in stable condition as well. Two Capitol Police officers who were part of the security detail of scalise were shot in all of this. We do not have an update on their condition. He told reporters that the members were finishing up batting practice on the field when the gunman who appeared to have a rifle approached the field. Just to paraphrase what senator jeff flake of arizona told reporters this morning. He said that the gunman appeared to, quote, have a lot of ammo and he appeared to be kind of hiding out or maybe taking cover near the 3rd base dugout. He says because of that, it was difficult for the Capitol Police officers to two Capitol Police officers who were there to get him in custody and take him down. Now, the gunman has been brought into custody. We dont know if the gunman was shot. But there was a lot of gunfire exchanged between the two Capitol Police officers at this practice and the gunman who had been shooting at the 25 or so congressional representatives at the practice. And we are told as many as 50 to 100 shots exchanged within a tenminute period. Now, because representative Steve Scalise is majority whip, that means he is basically third in line in terms of ranking behind the house speaker, he has his own is security detail. That is why the two Capitol Police officers were there with him at this practice. That is why police were able to respond so quickly. I believe we might have a sound byte from senator rand paul of kentucky who was also at the practice talking about how fortunate it was that the congressional Police Officers were already there. I think were lucky that scalise was there because these this was his security detail. Without them, it would have been a massacre. There would have been no stopping this guy. We were like sitting ducks. We had no place to run. Just to recap the latest from Alexandria Police and u. S. Capitol police chief, they briefed reporters about an hour ago. They said that there is no longer a public threat. Although you can see from this video that there is still a large Law Enforcement presence throughout the entire area. Not only local police but obviously the fbi investigating what happened. We dont know much about the gunman. We dont know anything about his possible motivation or even a description of him. All we know is he is in custody. We dont know if he was shot or what his condition is. At this point, investigators talking to the many witnesses, including those 25 or so congressional representatives at the baseball field when the shooting happened. The investigation is in the early stages. But, again, just to recap, representative Steve Scalise who was from louisiana, the House Majority whip, he was shot in the hip and air lifted to the hospital and expected to recover. Three other people shot in the incident as well. Allie rasmus in the news room up to date on that. Thanks, allie. Many people in washington took to social media to express their support for scalise. President trump tweeted a true friend and patriot was badly injured but will fully recover. Our thoughts and prayers are with him. This reminds us when Gabby Giffords was shot in 2011 during a meet and greet with constituents in tucson. Today she tweeted my heart is with my former colleagues, family and staff and the u. S. Capitol police. Public servants and heroes today and every day. And south bacon guess man rotana tweeted my thoughts and prayers are with my colleague Steve Scalise, the police that protect us each day and all of those wounded. Joining us on the phone is California Democratic congressman huffman talking to us from washington, d. C. Representative huffman, through for joining us. Tell us where you are and what you know about the situation. Well, i was across town at democratic Baseball Team practice when we got news of this. The two teams practice on different fields. We i think we both practice at 7 00 a. M. In the morning. We were about halfway through our practice when our coach, congressman mike doyle from pittsburgh, he got a message on his phone that was very disturbing to him. He was very animated and called everyone in immediately. And said there had been a shooting at the republican practice. So that was shocking. Our hearts broke. We didnt have a lot of information at that time. But we immediately pulled our whole team into the dugout. Now, we have a couple of Capitol Police that routinely attend our practice. I would imagine that thats also the case on the republican side. Although with Steve Scalise, you have an additional security detail there. So my assumption is there was a little bit of additional security presence because of that. But our Capitol Police told us that they wanted us in the dugout before we could determine if there was any safety issue on our side of things. While we were there, we immediately huddled in prayer for our colleagues. And then we began getting updates from the Capitol Police and from the various twitter feeds. Yeah. Congressman huffman, i was interested in how you felt personally relating to Steve Scalise. And i was going to ask you, your Immediate Reaction not only for him but also for yourself. Im sure that you heard from your family as well. I was pretty slow to think about whether we had a security issue. Our thoughts were immediately across town with our republican colleagues. But then you do start thinking about that. You know, is it possible that there could be a multiple targeting event . And then of course we all started letting our family members know that we were okay. Because we didnt want them to see some news report about a congressional baseball practice shooting and worry we were in danger. Representative huffman, im reading a comment by one of your republican colleagues. Ill quote. He was hunting us at that point. There was so much gunfire you couldnt get up and run. As we learn more about what happened, we understand there may have been a number of minutes before a large Security Response happened there at the baseball field. Lawmakers turning to each other for help. Im hearing it described as chaos. What does this tell you about your personal activities out and about in the Washington Area in the days to come . I understand that the baseball game itself is supposed to be this weekend, isnt it. It is supposed to be tomorrow. Yeah. Look, first it tells me that that was just a terrifying scene. And im just thinking about my colleagues. And i feel stunned and horrified that they had to go through this this morning. None of us can ever be really fully secure in this day and age. We arent surrounded by security details everywhere go, especially when it is small groups and individual members of congress. That is a reality. I imagine that will spark a conversation. There is never a way to guarantee perfect security for every member of congress in every activity that they are doing outside of the capitol. California congressman jared huffman, thank you for your comments and for joining us on mornings on 2. Have a safe day, sir. Thanks for having me. Yes, sir. 7 10. Were tracking developing news from london where a huge fire engulfed a 24story apartment building. At least six people have died. The fire started at 1 00 in the morning london time. Most of the 500 people who lived there were at home and asleep. More than 200 firefighters battled the flames. More than 70 people had to be taken to the hospital. The fire is believe today have started on the 4th floor and spread quickly. People could be seen inside waving items through a window trying to get the attention of firefighters screaming for help. There are reports of people jumping from the windows. Within an hour, we saw people looking out of the window screaming help. Screaming help, help, flashing their lights. Out of those windows, people jumped. This is an unprecedented incident. In my 29 years of being a firefighter, i have never ever seen anything of this scale. Theres no word yet on the cause of the fire. Residents do say there was recent construction on the buildings exterior. All right. Our time is 7 12. Here at home, a new shocking report about the Drinking Water in the east bay. Coming up at 7 30, what could be in that water that could cause cancer. Also, ditching Public Transit and using uber and lyft instead. How changes in the way that people commute are making more congestion on the streets of San Francisco. 7 14. Welcome back. We will get you a check with your morning commute with sal. You also have a report about big changes and how people get around San Francisco. Thats right. According to a new report by the San Francisco transportation authority. Every day uber and lyft log more than half a million miles in the city. New data suggests that all of those trips taken by the services are adding to congestion on city streets. Reporter traffic is nothing new in San Francisco. There is a new source of congestion never seen before. Ride sharing Companies Like you knower and lyft adding thousands of drivers to city streets. We sit on the corner of market and 10th and watch as the cars went by. Most of them had an uber sticker on them. According to city records, San Francisco has 45,000 uber and lyft drivers. New york city a city eight times as big has an estimated 5500 road share drivers,. They are regulated by the Public Utilities commission. It is unclear what power San Francisco has over the Ride Sharing Companies, including the ability to limit how many ride share drivers are on the streets. But the city says what it can do is make sure that existing laws are being followed. San francisco has always been a city that welcomes ingenuity. Convenience cant come at the cost of safety for everyone in the city. And what were trying to do here is really strike the right balance. Reporter this month the San FranciscoCity Attorneys Office subpoenaed records from the on demand companies. It wants to know how many miles are logged by drivers, whether drivers receive any training, and if the companies provide incentives that attract drivers to San Francisco. Critics say having so many drivers on streets not only is slowing traffic but results in fewer people using Public Transit and changes the quality of life in the city. I get it. People are trying to make money. Either underemployment or unemployment workers. Uber has done a great job with that workforce. The problem is in the city when there is congestion, invariably at the center of it is an uber driver or a lyft driver that doesnt know the city. I think the thing that ticks me off the most is the double parking. That kind of gets to me. Especially if im like driving my car and in either the far right or left lane and theres a car that just stops in front of me. Reporter the Ride Sharing Companies say they will cooperate with the city. Uber issued a statement that read in part, we are more than happy to work with the city to address congestion but it should be a solution including construction, the city population increase and the rise of online delivery services. Some who use Ride Sharing Services say they are willing to tolerate slower traffic in exchange for the convenience of on demand transportation. I use it all the time. And so i like tell myself mentally im okay with that. Im okay with them double parking if like im going to use the service. Reporter so for now youre likely to continue seeing a lot of cars on city streets with ride sharing stickers on the windshield. Our question of the day is do you consider the increase of ride sharing cars such as uber and lyft on the San Francisco streets a nuisance or convenience. Let us know by voting on twitter or on ktvu. Com. You can also comment on our facebook page. And it will be interesting to see. Because my personal opinion on this topic is i do both. I complain but i also use uber and lyft. So there you go. Lets go out and take a look at the commute here on the bay bridge toll plaza and the san mateo bridge. Some of these other bridges that have been you know, they have been okay. There have been no major issues on the san mateo bridge, for example, as you drive through. Traffic continues to move along okay. Some of the biggest issues have been not on the bridges but really in this area of the commute. Southbound 680 from pleasanton to sunol and fremont because of earlier issues. If this is your commute, give yourself plenty of extra time. We will let you know more as the commutes improve. Right now they are definitely behind schedule.
