Represented by women nancy pelosi in San Francisco, zoe lofgren in the south bay and lateefah simon, the replacement for barbara lees 12th district in the east bay. If she wins in november, it speaks to the issues that women face running in politics. Doctor Samantha Francois is a professor of womens studies at cal state east bay.

Adam schiff outraised both his female opponents in the democratic party. Both katie porter and barbara lee, by like 2 to 1. But professor francois also notes that schiff got big endorsements from high profile female politicians like pelosi and barbara boxer, and that exit polls suggest that women voters supported schiff in equal numbers to men.

Cloud was reported south of vacaville. You see those lightning strikes this afternoon, the thunderstorm erupted. It was confirmed by the Weather Service in sacramento that it did happen south of vacaville. Obviously, it did not touch down. It was not a tornado, but a funnel cloud, which is why they did not see any damage in that area right now around orinda highway 24, we are tracking street level radar and that is showing showers. Also some light to moderate rain right around pope valley, aetna springs, so were not completely through with this system just yet. Taking you back in time.

You can see there are multiple officers on the scene beginning this investigation, this closing all the traffic down to one lane, causing a massive backup. You can see on both the bridge and the on ramps. Now, calls for this shooting came in to both chp and San Francisco police just before 830 this evening. It looks like a callback is advising that they were shot. They were heading eastbound towards oakland inside a blue toyota camry. Again, medics are responding as well. Code three. They were shot going through the tunnel. Gunshot victims in the leg, conscious breathing now, we do know that there were multiple shots fired. The woman was taken to the hospital, and police say theyre not sure of the motive. They are still searching for a suspect. Karina all right. Tara, thank you so much for that
