threaten them that if they don't change their behavior, that there's going to be that they're going to be, you know, held accountable. >> but with pressure on local leaders building to stop the violence, city leaders say something needs to be done. we are focused on public safety as a priority. >> we are changing things. that's what this is about. and former oakland mayor libby schaaf, who was in office when operation ceasefire ended, tweeted this afternoon that she thinks while the audit failed to consider the pandemic's impact on crime in the city, she supports the efforts to revitalize the program in the studio tonight. >> tim johns, abc seven news. >> all right, tim, thank you. developing news with the deadly shooting of oakland police officer twan lay. 30 year-old marquis cooper made his first court appearance today. he is one of three suspects charged with murder. these pictures from court show cooper and his defense attorney officer lay, was shot and killed last month while responding to a burglary at an oakland cannabis business. cooper's attorney tells abc seven news his client did not have anything to do with the

is a warm system, so it is not produced. being snow at the lower elevations like at lake tahoe, but it's going to be mixed precip overnight. tonight. they are chaining up on 88 and four. as we look at live doppler seven here locally. still tracking some wet weather. we're going to get you into street level radar from gilroy to san martin monterey road, highway 101 church avenue. seeing that rain, some really light showers from san jose to 8-80. heading down towards cambria and park campbell area, and one last stop out towards vasco avenue, altamont, vasco road. excuse me, you are seeing some showers also across 580. so widening the picture here. we had a few showers this morning and then the steady rain came in this afternoon. evening. it has been coming through here most areas actually got a good soaking today. want to show you the rainfall so far because obviously the storms not done yet. 7000/100 in ben lomond there in the santa cruz mountains, just over a half an inch in san francisco, oakland
