year old chungliang chow turned himself in. police say say chao fired a shotgun through a locked garage door thursday night, injuring his wife as she tried to get into their home. her injuries were not life threatening. on this saturday, the police chief had a lot of tough questions about their handling of the standoff. so the big question on many minds is why did officers leave the armed suspect barricaded alone in his home? and why did officers leave? late thursday night, we didn't completely leave. >> we had surveillance going. we had undercover. we had ready response team of patrol officers ready to go as well. >> the police chief admits the swat team did leave the scene, but he says detectives were constantly monitoring chow's social media account and felt he wasn't a threat to the general public. >> i thought it was the best way to de-escalate this situation. i also felt, and some of us felt based on our investigation, that he may have a resentment or hostility towards law enforcement. but being that he used to be law enforcer and he

may have been suffering from mental health crises, police officers returned to the home friday evening. >> the chief says. chow fired as many as 30 rounds at an armored vehicle overnight. he surrendered peacefully just before 8 a.m. saturday, about 1000 people were impacted by the standoff, according to the chief. they couldn't leave their homes or return home. >> yeah, that was very unfortunate. we regret that. >> neighbors we talked to had mixed reactions as it's hard to judge. >> judge, i think i think they know what they're doing. amy geske lives in the neighborhood. >> i want to give the police credit and think that they are doing the right thing. but it didn't feel for anyone in the neighborhood like we were being taken care of or protected. >> the chief says he made the decision to pull the swat team and officers out of the area in hopes of de-escalate the situation. >> i believe i made the right decision. having said that, it the factors changed and my decision to do that eventually, it really didn't work. and for that i'm accountable. we are

into the pacific northwest. so those rainfall systems are north of us and we can expect dry weather for quite some time. we have calm conditions as well. wind speeds right now at the surface are generally under ten miles per hour. so we don't have a wind chill effect, but we have a chill right now as we look out over the sea. that's ocean beach looking down to ocean beach from mount tam, 57 degrees in san francisco. and in san mateo, oakland, 58, 61 at hayward, 60 in san jose, 55 at half moon bay. blue sky, mainly over the golden gate. right now. pretty chilly up in the north bay, except santa rosa, which is the mildest location at 60 degrees, but it's only 52 at petaluma, 56 at napa. we've got 57 at fairfield and livermore. concord at 58 degrees. and this is a look at our forecast headlines. it's going to be frosty in the north bay valleys tonight. tomorrow we'll have a mix of sun and high clouds, maybe not quite so sunny as today, but still a

bright sky tomorrow and mainly sunny weather is in store for most of next week and it's going to be a bit milder for now as we i said that already didn't move along. i forgot to hit the now we move along to the frost advisory, which will be in effect for the interior valleys of the north bay from 10:00 tonight to midnight tonight until 10:00 tomorrow morning. i'm just getting used to reading our new graphics, which look pretty good, but now i can read them even better. midnight tonight, 10 a.m. tomorrow, temperatures will drop down to a range of about 32 to 35 degrees in those interior valleys and frost. bear in mind, can kill tender plants. so overnight lows across the board will generally be in the chilly range, about 40 around the bay shoreline and down into the south bay, mid to upper 30s in the inland east bay and of course the chilliest weather up in the north bay where we have the frost advisory in effect forecast animation shows some breaks in the clouds that will move through tonight. so enough clearing will occur during the overnight hours for those temperatures to drop down

to that frosty level and then starting tomorrow morning, we'll have a mix of some sun and high clouds. highs tomorrow will be right around 60, 62 degrees near the bay shoreline. inland east bay. some locations will not even hit 60 degrees. we're talking highs of 58 at antioch and concord and maybe 60 at napa. and san rafael, 63 at santa rosa. and here is the accuweather seven day forecast. so sunny, you're in a bit milder on monday with some mid 60s as our highs near the inland areas and right right around the bay shoreline excuse me on tuesday and wednesday, still pretty mild, not quite so mild as monday toward the end of the week, increasing clouds and getting milder for now. >> abc7 sports with chris alvarez. >> giants fans have a new dodger debut for the next decade. shohei ohtani is headed to hollywood signing a historic ten year $700 million contract post the news on instagram with a simple a la dodgers logo. while most of ohtani's money will be deferred, the contract the

five road games. bottom line, got to execute better. we're good enough to win a championship. >> i believe that this team. but if we're going to just turn it over and throw the ball to the other team and foul over and over, then we're going to lose. >> i don't know, man. i got to figure out how to stop talking about it and do it, or else you'll be, you know, into the new year with the same problems. you got to win in the margins. >> and we haven't done a good job of that. but we do, which i think we can and will. and you put yourself back in contention. but at 22 games in, i don't think anyone's throwing in the towel a lot of season left college hoops mark mattson and cal on the road at butler final seconds down three jalen cone misses eventually gets it back and hits with four seconds to go he had seven from deep he scored 23. >> this went to double overtime bulldogs pull away pierre brooks a big triple there butler goes up seven and win 97 to 90 in

we look at the tape the same as if we hadn't played them at all. and, you know, obviously you're going to look at some stuff that they did last game, some stuff that we did last game and make adjustments when needed. but each week you got to bring it. >> comedian will ferrell is a big seahawks fan. he appeared on kaye adams, fanduel show earlier this week and was asked what he would do if he was head coach. pete carroll i'd say, guys, we're going to punt on third down every series. >> we're not going to control the ball. let's not worry about it. i don't know what you do about the 49 ers, right. what do you do? i mean, they're they're loaded. they're loaded. hang on. for dear life. that's my. that's my. that's my. hang on. for dear life. >> that's some good coaching.
