the couple had been cited a day after our story. in a statement, sfpd said their vicious and dangerous dog unit is investigating the case and said the owners were cited by animal care and control for failure to provide information after a dog bite and failure to report a dog bite to the department of animal care and control. >> i realize this is only the first step. what happens after what we learned from the police officer is the city is going to schedule a hearing for the dog. >> this unit is part of sfpd. at the hearing, an officer will hear both sides and decide the dog's fate. >> for example, if she orders a dog declared vicious and dangerous and has to be registered, we would do the registering. we make sure that the dog owner comes into compliance. the hearing officer does have the power to order a dog euthanized. that's that's the most drastic outcome. >> the san francisco animal care and control confirmed the city's process is focused on the dog's

future, not necessarily the dog owners. >> there's nothing happening to the owners. and if we want to hold the owners accountable, we have to file separately through the civil court, which could be time consuming and probably have a financial impact. so a lot of people shy away from that, and as a result, nothing happens to the owners. >> and according to city records, a citation for a dog owner is about $91. that's less than some parking tickets. the hearing for this case is set to happen in the coming weeks in san francisco. luz pena abc seven news. >> one person was hurt in a fire that sent up a lot of smoke over east san jose today, a building filled with cars caught fire about 345 this afternoon on higuera road. the fire spread to the grass, burning less than an acre. a san jose fire got the flames out just after 5:00 tonight. no word on how it started or how badly that person was injured. >> cal fire acted quickly this afternoon to stop the spread of

seven news teams saw one person taken away on a stretcher. their condition is not known at this moment. here's what the bay bridge would look like without those toll booths. there are plans to remove the booths at all state owned bridges since tolls these days are collected electronically by fastrak, caltrans had previously announced it was delaying the removal of the booths until february of 2026, saying it wanted to upgrade the automatic toll collection system and remove the booths. at the same time, the metropolitan transportation commission bay area toll authority says the bay bridge will be the final location to have the booths removed, as it is the most complex project of all of them. a violent weekend in oakland has law enforcement speaking against proposed cuts to the city's police department overnight. lice say three teenagers were killed in the span of an hour on filbert street and near

international boulevard, and oakland's police officers association says the killings were only part of a surge in violence, with 33 robberies, 20 shootings and those destructive sideshows report. we heard fromity council member noel gallo about this on our 3 p.m. program called getting answers. >> we do need the presence of more police officers to enforce the laws and the rules that we have, because the reality is, i have many people coming into the city. they have no respect, no loyalty to the city and sadly enough, uh- the only thing that we understand is pushback. and that's through law enforcement. >> as for these illegal sideshows, gallo says he supports more blockades, license plate readers, and designated places for safer sideshow events. >> san francisco police are blaming weekend sideshows on both sides of the bay on the same group of, quote, 200 rogue vehicles.

oakland early yesterday morning right in front of the grand lake theater. you saw one car nearly hitting some bystanders. police say the same group drove into san francisco, engaging in a series of sideshows around the city. this video shows a driver doing donuts along the embarcadero as another car burned at each location around the city, officers gathered evidence, developed a plan, and ultimately flushed the vehicles out of the locations. >> this is our primary focus during the events to ensure public safety, san francisco police chief bill scott says officers were able to impound several vehicles, and investigators will be working to make arrests and impound additional vehicles in the coming days. >> and weeks. the california highway patrol impounded this car from the bay bridge after shutting down an attempted sideshow. chp says vehicles pulled over to stage an event early sunday morning, but dispersed. when officers arrived, they tried to stop the driver of this chevy, who led

them on a high speed pursuit until his tire blew out on the bridge, he continued, but was pinned in on the bus ramp before being arrested. a nissan driver also attempted to leave a traffic stop and was arrested. both cars were towed away and the drivers face various violations. >> you and i were talking about. it's just crazy how close people stand to these cars just whizzing by, right? yeah. let's talk about the heat. it's coming tomorrow. yes. >> meteorologist sandhya patel tells us how hot san diego uh- try upper 90s ama and dan. >> yeah, it's going to be a little bit of a scorcher, but at least it's a one day deal. let me show you some live pictures right now. the reason why the coast is not going to feel it, that marine influence is still with us. marine layers just over 1000ft deep. mount tam showing it to you. emeryville has some fog in the view as well. in south beach, the fog has been playing tag with salesforce tower there. santa cruz has also been dealing with it as we look at live doppler seven, there is fog not just near the coast, but it has already crossed parts of the bay. visibility is down to

four miles in half moon bay, something that you're going to need to watch out for at commute time, but changes are underway. today's highs in our inland valleys got up into the low 90s for our warmest spots. tomorrow, we're going to take them up a little more as high pressure nudges closer to the bay area. what this is really going to do is take our humidity values and we're going to see them dropping, which is why that fire concern is always there. around this time of year, 7:00 in the morning, you will notice the humidity levels are pretty high with a fog around. and then as we head into the afternoon, they start to come down to 19% in san jose at just after 1:00, 28% in napa. you will notice they lower some more in places like napa down to 21, concord 20. so just remain vigilant as we head into tomorrow. here is a foggy view from our mount tam cam, mid 50s san francisco oakland 59, in hayward. it is in the 64 degree range for san jose and redwood city. a live view from our south beach camera looking at

salesforce tower. it's going to be good. sleeping weather in santa rosa and petaluma. low 50s 64 in fairfield, 70, in concord, 68 degrees in livermore and from our emeryville camera, as we look at 80, it is certainly a little bit of a gray sky. tomorrow, temperatures spike. there's a heat advisory that goes up above average temperatures. fog clears quickly for the sun, and midweek we're talking about cooler afternoons. if you don't like the heat, it's just a one day thing. tomorrow morning, fog footprint not just near the coast, but around parts of the bay. 50s and 60s to start the day quickly warming up into the 80s away from the beaches. by noontime, you're already in the 90s. by 4:00 along the coast. we'll keep you in the 60s, and then later in the evening it's going to be a slow cooldown away from the coast. your morning temperatures will be all over the board from 48 degrees in half moon bay to 62 in ukiah, 64 in antioch. in the afternoon, south bay temperatures 90. in san jose. it's going to be cooking. morgan hill 95 degrees on the peninsula, 82, palo alto 66, in

pacifica, downtown san francisco 72 degrees. if you like the sun, you're going to see plenty of it in the north bay. 90 in napa 96, santa rosa 91, in san rafael in the east bay, upper 70s, oakland and berkeley, 86, union city 88. in castro valley head inland. and this is a summer like sizzle, 98, in livermore. 96 degrees for you in concord. here's a look at what's happening on wednesday. temperatures coming down most of those inland valleys that were in the upper 90s, only in the upper 80s and thursday further cooling is expected. the accuweather seven day forecast hot inland tomorrow. temperatures will be in the comfortable category for the coast tomorrow, and then the numbers will moderate going into the midweek time period. noticeably cooler thursday. little bump up friday, but then we're back down in time for father's day weekend. so dan and i'm looking nice. >> sounds good. thanks, sandy. >> all right. in the north bay, as the weather heats up for summer water, officials are

getting ready for water use to soar. today they raised a giant rubber dam on the russian river to help keep up a spike in water use. abc seven news reporter cornell bernard shows you how it works. >> summer is heating up and water officials are counting on this dam along the russian river to help keep up with demand for h2o. >> it's enhancing our ability to get water to our customers at the dry time of the year. >> this rubber dam, located near forestville has been raised. it's vital to the region's water supply, which provides naturally filtered drinking water to more than 600,000 residents in sonoma and marin counties. >> our demand just about doubles in the summertime, and that's mostly, as you could guess, due to irrigation. it's the dry time of the year. people turn their irrigation systems on, so there's a much larger demand. >> so think of this dam here on the russian river as a giant water balloon, if you will. and that makes it easier to pump the

water over this 65 foot levee into the settling ponds right here. the ponds hold the extra water supply and even help recharge groundwater without this uh, we'd be really hard pressed to pump enough water to serve the public. sonoma water relies solely on its own watershed for drinking water. >> so what we get here in terms of precipitation is all we get. >> for now. the area is in good shape. lake sonoma and lake mendocino are full this year. >> we are very, very happy with the amount of water that we have. both our reservoirs are very much topped off, but this water agency knows supply may change in the future, so they urge every customer to be water wise, especially a natural resource. it's not something you want to take. you want to, you know, take for granted. >> meantime, this dam doing its part to provide enough water to a thirsty north bay in sonoma county. cornell, bernard abc seven news. >> coming up next, hear from the

hostages were flown by helicopter back to israel and to emotional reunions with family who had dreamed of this moment for eight months. families who only heard about the mission once their loved ones were safe. the doctor who has treated the hostages since they arrived, tells me. despite appearing in good condition, all four are malnourished. >> their muscles are extremely wasted. there is damage to some other uh- systems because of that, he says. >> they were moved frequently and beaten by their captors. >> it was a harsh, harsh experience with a lot of abuse, almost, every day, every hour, both physical, mental and other types. and that is, something that is beyond comprehension. >> doctor pessach also treated some of the hostages released in november and says the psychological damage of these four is significantly worse. >> all of them had faith, but losing that faith, i think, is

where you get to the breaking point. and i'm happy that these guys are here. but there are others losing their faith in us, in humankind. >> that's paula hancocks reporting. it's estimated hamas still has about 120 hostages, but it is believed several dozen of them may be dead. militants captured 250 people during last year's october 7th attack in israel, which of course ignited this war. >> donald trump has completed his pre-sentencing interview with the new york city probation department. former president took part in a virtual interview from his mar-a-lago estate in florida. the commissioner for the probation department took part in the hearing along with the probation officer assigned to trump's case and trump's attorney. trump was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records. the meeting will be part of the report. the probation department will submit to help decide its punishment. sentencing is set for july 11th. >> hunter biden's federal gun case is now in the hands of a

tuesday of june as a day for women to schedule their annual wellness exam, organizers say women are often so busy with work and caring for others they delay their own checkups. these days, of course, you don't have to call your doctor. you can schedule an appointment online. most of the time. >> well, june is alzheimer's and brain awareness month, and there's some big news out tonight involving alzheimer's, right now, there is no cure for this terrible disease. but researchers say a new experimental drug can modestly slow the progression of symptoms by about 4 to 7 months. not

huge, but it is big progress on our 3 p.m. program. getting answers abc seven news reporter stephanie sierra spoke with claire day, the chief program officer at alzheimer's association of northern california, about the possibilities. >> so we're talking about the drug donanemab. if approved by the fda, how would it work for those eligible to receive treatment? >> yes. so donanemab is similar to a few other medications or treatments that have that monoclonal antibody that may be at the end of them. and this is a treatment that identifies and reduces the plaque build up. one of the hallmarks of alzheimer's disease. and so it's an infusion in that would be given to patients in the earliest stages of the of the disease. that helps to reduce that buildup of plaque, which in turn has shown in clinical trials to have an impact on the underlying biology of alzheimer's disease.

>> so, fda drug reviewers said last week that if approved, an enemy's risk of brain swelling and bleeding would be described in the box warning reports have indicated three people in the trial did die from complications linked to the treatment. so how would you compare the risks and side effects between this drug versus the recently approved leckenby? >> yes. so it's pretty similar. and what they're describing is something that's known as aria or amyloid related uh- uh- imaging abnormality. that's just going to be a result of any of these monoclonal antibodies, any of these anti-amyloid drugs. this is going to be a potential risk. i think every family and patient has to make those decisions based on their own. but in some of the clinical trials, it was noted that some patients had the symptoms of aria or the clinical description of aria, but never actually had any symptoms. so it can be

sometimes mild and it can be it's very serious. we don't want to underplay that, but i think it's like any medication, there is not a medication out there that doesn't have a long list of potential warnings and side effects. and patients, like with every other medication, should talk to their physician and think about the risks and the potential benefits, which for someone with a progressive neurological disease may look a little bit different than than other treatments because it potentially gives them more time to stay independent, to make decisions for themselves and to live well with alzheimer's disease is interesting. >> well, we know the fda met this morning and the panel of independent advisors did recommend unanimously paving the way for next steps. do you expect this drug will be approved? >> yeah. i mean, i think that that's a great step today that this these are all independent reviewers. so i think that's a really important notation. so i think, you know, i don't have

the clinical background of an fda reviewer to know for sure. but i think the science is showing us that it has the potential to be approved by the fda as long as it meets the safety requirements as long as as it can be given in a way that actually is safe for everybody, then i'm hopeful. i'm hopeful. maybe that's the better way to say it. >> yeah. you know, as context, the fda has delayed approval of the drug twice now. what led to those delays? >> yeah, i think in the earlier days they they wanted to make sure that there was enough evidence within their clinical trials to actually have the data to support an fda approval. i think they're rightfully so, being cautious and making sure that they've sort of dotted their eyes and crossed their t's and i think the panel is, you know, while it has delayed the approval, has shown that the

efficacy of the drug is there because, again, these are independent reviewers that look at this. so it's encouraging that hopefully this drug will move through the fda approval process and in a positive way. >> any idea on the cost? will it be covered by medicare. >> so it should be covered by medicare. i think we have seen a huge shift in the centers for medicare and medicaid services since the first monoclonal antibody approval back in 2021, where they weren't approving it. and now are approving these these treatments, this this one's given less frequently, so it would only be, given every month. and i think what's important to note about donanemab, that makes it a little bit different than leckenby is, patients that participated in the clinical trial received a, a predetermined level of amyloid clearing, and then after sort of 12 to 18 months, they actually stopped the treatment. so i think it makes it a little bit different and more unique than

leckenby. and so it provides options for patients as well based on cost, and, and the ability to have these treatments in the future. >> it does stand out in that way . interesting. well, when will it be available for sale? do you think and do you think the supply will meet demand initially? >> yeah, that's a good question. i think they've just they they've sort of said, later this year, and aren't really sort of tying themselves to a, a timeline to have that review done, and i think as far as, demand goes, i'm not sure that i, i would hope that the, the manufacturers are sort of ramping up for that. but, of course, it all depends on, on the fda's approval. and the hope would be i think it's less about the demand of the drug and more about the accessible of getting it through health systems, and having having access to all of the other treatment, and testing pieces that need to be given

like a, like a pet scan and, and other sorts of evaluations, because these do have to be given to people that have that biological evidence of alzheimer's disease that build up of amyloid. and so it requires a little bit more testing. it also means that we need to think of ways to make sure that this has accessibility to everyone, not just those that live within a 45 mile radius of a large health system. >> a lot of good information in there, as you can tell. you can watch live interviews like that every weekday at 3 p.m. right here on abc seven. >> the heat will be with us tomorrow. sandhya has a preview of the temperatures to expect where you live. >> plus building a better bay area one snapshot at a time. the new contest trying to protect a beautiful space through the lens of the p golden 1 credit union sees, you're crushing it. you nailed that audition. you perfected that plate. your team's inspired.
