One of the store managers has Surveillance Video of the burglars bashing at the window with sledge hammers. It took them about ten minutes to bash open the window trying to get access to motorcycles. As they were bashing away, cars would passion by. You can see the men ducking into a uhaul to avoid detection. They were spotted by a witness and police were alerted by an alarm. The first officers on scene say the suspects tried to ram them in the uhaul when they arrived here. The suspects took off after the ramming and Police Chased them on to the freeway and into oakland.

Californias is the worlds sixth largest economy. The Grass Roots Group<\/a> called yes california is trying to select half a million signatures to qualify for a Ballot Initiative<\/a> in 2018. The head of the bay area chapter says cal exit is a real possibility but political analysts are not so sure. California is a huge economic engine for the united states. And the idea that other states in the union would say, yeah, you can leave and go off on your own is not only unlikely but incredibly improbable. I hit it fact that were saying so out loud and this is going to get louder that we would rather be independent, i think it gives people pause to thought on both sides. The group plans to collect signatures next month. There are several big hurdles in front of the idea. One getting the majority of californiaons to support the measure. If it passes, twothirds of congress would need to go along with it. Seem unlikely. Quarterback derek carr is doing well after undergoing surgery for his broken fibula. He said surgery couldnt have gone better. Received great news. Already started the recovery process. Thank you for all of your prayers as i heal up. After a great season he will be out for the raiders first playoff appearance in 14 years. Its up to backup quarterback matt. The raiders have one more regular season game against denver on sunday.

But its a huge blow for home wood. The resort says it will be closed until further notice. At this point the cause of the fire is not yet known. Coming up next on mornings on 2 the 9, 2016 was the year of a number of scandals. Coming up, we will take a look at the headlines that shocked the country. And Carrie Fisher<\/a> and Zsa Zsa Gabor<\/a> both suffered fatal heart attacks. Were with doctors explaining the symptoms that women in particular should watch out for.

Ikea [music] 9 28. Were back on a wednesday morning. And ktvu the 9 has been asking you a question as we reflect on the loss of Carrie Fisher<\/a>. This camera is getting creepily close to us. We talked about Carrie Fisher<\/a> and a lot of people say she was my princess. A number of losses this year. I will read one that i had to look up to remind myself. I remember being shocked when dave died of bmx phenomena and sad about pat summitt. A lot of people citing George Michael<\/a> and prince. Seeing prince as well. For me prince was the shock of the year based on his abling. I mentioned john glenn earlier in the newscast. Still a loss of america. Musician dan hicks death affected me the most. He was my musical hero and was an underappreciated national treasure. Other musicians you cant forget about Leonard Cohen<\/a> and mohammed ali. John glenn. I had someone mention that to me as well. Sean davis wrote prince was hard for me because i saw him in oakland earlier this year right before he died. You recall he had a performance at the fox theater. He went to the warriors game. Thank you for responding to our question of the day and using the hashtag ktvu. Carrie fisher died after suffering a massive heart attack on board a flight. She never recovered. Zsa zsa gabor died december 10th as a result of a heart attack as well. Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the united states. For more on these stories were joined by dr. Misra. Thank you for joining us. With we talk about heart attacks and Heart Disease<\/a>, i think of people like my dad. Older, male, not me. These stories remind us that it could be house. Yes. It is as you cited in the cdc, the number one killer across the board of mortality. It gets overlooked as we tend to identify gender with a particular disorder. Youre right to say that. We just need to be more informed. And these are good resources to that end. One of the statistics that stood out to me from the cdc, almost two thirds of women who die from Heart Disease<\/a> had no previous symptoms. That seems to be keeping in with what Carrie Fisher<\/a>s family said. This was unexpected. Often the first sign of disease in the vascular bed is that of a heart attack or stroke perhaps. Yes, there isnt a lot of clues or hints or warnings. It is a fastmoving condition. Unfortunately on her case she was on a flight. It is a time sensitive matter. What should you do about it. You have to get immediately in touch with a medical professional to assess the situation. It may not be that. Those are where factors go into the evaluation. Vital signs, critical exam and labs and things like that which support or disprove the diagnosis. Can you explain the difference between sudden cardiac arrest and a heart attack. Uhhuh. Because i know we keep talking about heart attack. For some reason i always think theyre the same but theyre not. The heart attack is when the coronary artery gets secluded. Many of which many people survive. Heart tacks are not always fatal. Sudden cardiac death, in sports, for example, if a person takes a shot right to the chest, it can put the heart into a bad rhythm, which can result in sudden cardiac death. And if that if it hits at the right part of the ekg, the electrical impulses, thats where the heart automatically thats it. That is a bit different than a vascular problem. What about the importance of having a good nights sleep. Not living a stressful life. A lot of us live stressful lives. A lot of women in the bay area are working parents. Yeah. Were all burning the candle at both ends, men and women. I would reference the great work from the blue zone. It cites six qualities for the sentence he wills. Those who cross the age of 100 center around that. Moderate activity, having a good social family life, plant based diet help to take the sting out of stress to some degree. Were all different and respond to stress differently. We were talking earlier in the break room. One of the best ways to prevent having the heart health problems, common sense, exercise. Sure. The American College<\/a> of sports medicine, my sub special, sports medicine, recently came out with this and it got corroborated by the evidence that 150 minutes of exercise a week, two and a half hours, is what you need for preventative measures for strokes and heart attacks. In both men and women. It can be achieved all at once or divided up over two days. I do it two days back to back. This is very important. It has been corroborated by other International Sports<\/a> medicine organizations as to the best prevents towards bad outcomes from strokes and heart attacks. Stroke is the number one reason that people get admitted to nursing homes. Thank you. You certainly brought it to life. Thank you for joining us, doctor, and a happy new year. We will get the 150 minutes of exercise every week. Rosemary, i have noticed a couple of people walking or jogging along the pathway that some of us can use more often. They are probably bundled up. It is cold out there. Temperatures are creeping up finally. Our inland areas still quite cold. We are with sunny skies. That helps to offset how it feels out there. If it was cloudy, it would feel worse. Ai live look at San Francisco<\/a> across the bay where the skies are blue. 47 degrees in San Francisco<\/a>. Half moon bay at 50 degrees. That has been for most of the morning. 46 berkeley. Up every 40s in hayward. Lets go to the inner east bay where we have 44 brentwood. 36 in livermore. And to the north bay, just above freezing in santa rosa. 34 degrees. To the north bay, looking at numbers. 35 windsor. 5 in petaluma. Still just above freezing. Earlier on we were below freezing. A little bit of improvement here. Alamo 40 degrees. Alamo in the low 30s a little while ago. As we get into the next couple of days, this ridge will strengthen. We will have our temperatures come up slightly. A minor warmup. Not a big one. At least temperatures going in the right direction. Lets look at the system working its way into california by friday. Wednesday, thursday, mostly sunny, partly cloudy. Temperatures relatively mild. Upper 50s to low 60s. 60 in hayward. 58 in concord. As we get into the weekend, for us were looking at mainly dry weather. It seems to be a bit unsettled. The model not really lining up just yet. So we will continue to track this for you. Where youre likely to see snow showers in the tahoe area. For saturday and sunday, if youre going to be celebrating in tahoe, be prepared. It will be very cold and snow showers are in the forecast. Here is your extended forecast. Temperatures wont change a lot as we get into the next several days. And the final days of 2016. Cold overnight lows followed by relatively mild afternoon highs. Friday and saturday, we do have a chance at maybe a few sprinkles coming our way. I dont think you should cancel any outdoor plans. Were still looking good. We will continue to track it of course as we get closer. We will finetune it a little bit more. Mike. Thank you, rosemary. The owners of a landmark bar in San Francisco<\/a> say the construction of proposed apartment complex in their neighborhood would scare customers away. Patrons of the 40yearold bar on the corner of dubois and have a lenses is a says the new building would steal away their sunshine. Tara moriarty is joining us us live to explain how it would threaten business. Reporter that should be the name of a country song or something, dont steal my sunshine. Yes. Snooze what is happening to this bar in the mission district. It has been around for 40 years. It is receiving its status as a legacy business. All of that is threatened we a proposed five story condo building supposed to be built across the street. It would literally cast a shadow over the bar, affecting its bottom line. It is supposed to be built on the corner and it has been in the works since 2013. But it was only a week ago, a couple of weeks ago that the owners learned about a shadow analysis. Thats a San Francisco<\/a> law where shadows are cast on places such as parks. The shadow would cast across our beer garden during our happy hour. We would not receive the same amount of sun between march and october which is the peak season. Reporter the owners say a sunless beer garden means that customers may sip brew elsewhere, cutting sales by 30 . The owners dont want to stop the development but they would like a compromise. Perhaps a fewer levels in the building. We reached out to the developer and the City Planning Department<\/a> but have not heard back. They filed for a discretionary review of the project which will be held on january 12th. Real quick, tara, before we let you go, the vaness Improvement Project<\/a>. That is getting a boost from the federal government. Reporter thats right. Thats the Improvement Project<\/a> that has been so talked about and a lot of folks who live along that stretch are not very happy about the project. Which was pushed by a former supervisor scott weiner. A lot of folks are excited about it because they say it is great for public transportation. Basically the u. S. Transportation awarded a 75 million grant for it. It means better infrastructure and bigger paychecks for San Francisco<\/a>. It will help sidewalks and crosswalks safer and replace water and sewer line dating back to the 1800s. If you have been on the street, you probably have noticed the construction going on. It is contributing to the traffic. In the long run, the people who came up with the project say it will be good for everyone. Rough right now but not down the road. Tara moriarty live in San Francisco<\/a>. Thanks. A man who worked at the versace outlet in livermore has filed a discrimination lawsuit against the store. The employee claims he was taught to use a special code when africanamerican shoppers entered the store. Reporter this certificate satch estore is where a 23year old man named christopher worked. He filed a 30page complaint against the store saying while undergrowing training he was taught to discriminate against africanamericans. Our client was trained to announce this verbal code if an africanamerican customer comes into the store. Theres also a nonverbal code where the employee would tug on a black article of clothing. Reporter he claims the verbal code was d410. He was told to use it when an africanamerican entered the store. He is mixed race, a quarter africanamerican and claims he was terminated after working there less than a month. When asked why he was being terminated the complaint states he was not let go because of performance reasons but for, quote, because he doesnt understand luxury and because he doesnt know the luxury life which his lawyers believe is also code for Racial Discrimination<\/a> lawsuit. Given the code they have for a black customer coming into the store, it doesnt take much of a logical leap to assume that you havent lived the luxury life is code for we dont want an africanamerican employee. And so our client was terminated. Reporter when asked if this was a corporate policy or just a store one, the lawyer says it is too soon to tell where the command came from. But as part of their investigation, tell find out. Typically we can connect it at least one level up the hierarchy, up to the regional level. Oftentimes we can connect it all the way to the top. Reporter unfortunately this type of behavior by stores isnt new. It has been commonplace for many establishments over the years. It doesnt surprise me that an upscale store like versace would do that. People like us need to take a stand against discrimination and it needs to be made known publicly. I think they treated us good, kindly. I didnt get a bad vibe. I would go back again. Reporter we reached out versace and a lawyer representing the company. We havent heard back.
