out towards our exploratorium camera visibility pretty good. san francisco upper 70s today noontime we're going to be in the mid 90s inland for about 108 to 109, and then around the bay shore, more widespread 90s. so today, the last day, we'll have comfortable temperatures at the coast. we'll talk about how much we cool down into your friday. amanda. >> hi, lisa. look, how lucky are we? this is a live look from our south beach cam, showing nothing in your way as you make your way into or out of the city using the bay bridge. that can be said about much of the commute across the bay area here at this hour, minus the typical slowdown through the altamont pass. a look at drive times 48 minutes from tracy to dublin, 16 minutes from san rafael to san francisco, and then antioch to concord is going to take you 14 minutes and you can see highway four to san francisco, 26 minutes as we take a live look from our emeryville cam, headlights are heading west. >> amanda. thank you. developing news in the east bay. police are on scene of a deadly shooting in alameda. they say three family

members were killed inside a home on kittyhawk road near franciscan way. this happened last night. abc seven news reporter gloria rodriguez is live near the home and, gloria, do police have anyone in custod? >> yes, reggie, there is a person of interest in custody right now. and police say that there is no threat to the public. and you can see behind me, they have taped off this area. there are evidence markers out and police are still investigating. they've been here all night long. now the alameda police department posted on facebook that three people were killed and additional people are being treated at local hospital. police say they got a call last night from someone saying their neighbor was shot here on kittyhawk road. they found the victim and multiple family members who had been shot, including juveniles. three people died an additional family members are in hospitals right now. and again, police say there is no threat to the public and we're working on getting more information on exactly what happened here. we also saw the coroner was on scene and just

left a little while ago. live in alameda. gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. >> thank you. gloria this morning, a mystery that is making international headlines. an australian ceo on a trip to san francisco in a hospital with serious injuries. and it's not clear where or how he got them. now we're hearing from a friend. colin bettles is the ceo of grain producers australia. michael mccormick is a former coworker and friend. he says bettles arrived to the city the night of july 4th and was staying at hotel garrett, which is at seventh and mission. he was found around 1030 that night along market street in a semi-conscious state without his wallet and phone, and he had a gash that required stitches down the back of his head and a broken eye socket. >> you'd think he'd be able to walk down, you know, a well-lit street, one of the busiest thoroughfares, in, you know, a city of with a population of close to a million people. and, you know, be okay. but uh- uh, obviously, for paul, colin, that

wasn't the case. >> bettles was on a work trip here in san francisco. san francisco police are looking for more information about what happened. >> happening today, governor newsom will reveal a new effort to boost public safety in the east bay. he's going to hold a news conference with chp officials in just a few hours. amanda, that announcement is coming as there's new reporting about some challenges the governor's office appears to be facing working with the alameda county da. >> yeah, reggie, according to new reporting by politico, the governor's office is accusing the office of alameda county da pamela price of ignoring offers to send attorneys to help prosecute crimes. now, the offer by the governor was first made back in february. politico got a hold of a letter sent by the governor's cabinet secretary to price his office. it reads in part, despite our outreach, your office has yet to make use of these resources. that's the end of the, quote. political reports, the governor is now rescinding his offer and redeploying those attorneys to the california department of justice. we don't know why

price's office hasn't responded to the governor's office. politico asked, but hasn't yet received a response. we also reached out this morning, but of course it is still very early to hear back. this comes at a very sensitive time for da price. she's facing a recall campaign, accused of being too soft on crime, though supporters have argued she's doing the job that she was elected to do. governor newsom's office has been involved in the efforts to crack down on crime in alameda county, especially in oakland. he signed off on the installation of 500 high tech traffic cameras in march. they are meant to help law enforcement identify vehicles linked to crimes. as for that announcement today, it's expected to happen at 10 a.m. we'll stream it live. if you have our abc seven bay area apps, we'll notify you as soon as it starts back to you. >> thanks, amanda. the governor's announcement comes as we're seeing a new analysis questioning the accuracy of oakland's reported crime drop. according to the san francisco chronicle, an oakland report, the police department's data was based on incomplete stats from

last year. the reported 33% drop in overall crime may actually be closer to 20. the discrepancy may be due to a delay in residents reporting crimes like burglaries and auto theft. in a statement, the oakland police department says its weekly crime reports are up to date and accurate for crimes involving immediate danger and loss of life. >> oakland police and city council members are teaming up to address crime along the hegenberger corridor. yesterday, chief floyd mitchell and council member trevor reed met with the store manager of this gas station. you remember this video? this location has been the victim of ransacking multiple times in the past few weeks. >> as a business owner, he should not have to go through what we saw on the video here, and we're going to do everything to help him in the future to keep this from happening again. >> he ensured us that things will change, you know? but there is i'm not going to say there's things that we could correct from our end. you know, the way we respond to a crime. you know, how we talk to the police

department to make it a priority? >> lane is not here as leaders and police work to make staffing changes to patrol the hegenberger corridor, the owner of that shop says he's making changes to. >> he's planning to have two employees working at all times, and will be considering closing closer to sunset in san francisco. >> the police commission has delayed a decision on a policy that expand the powers of police officers when it comes to engaging suspects in car chases. the police commission took up the issue yesterday and was expected to move that proposal forward. some commissioners want to change the language to include the reporting of arrests by police. police chief bill scott argued that the commission could ask for that data any tim. >> nothing prevents the commission from getting that information, but the proposition says specifically what? yeah, needed to be reported. so, i mean, maybe that's the best of both worlds. >> the commission plans to take up the chase policy issue at its

meeting next week, when it comes to public safety where you live, you can check out the abc7 neighborhood safety tracker, see crime stats and trends for oakland, san francisco and san jose. you can find it by going to abc7 news.com. >> the current stretch of historic heat is doing more than just smashing records across the country. it's resulting in more people being infected with the tropical disease. there is a significant number of mosquitoes in tropical climates, and these insects carry viruses like dang states as far north as illinois and new york are seeing cases of dengue fever. more than 2500 infections have been confirmed across the country and in puerto rico, which is five times higher than it was this time last year. the commission, the transmission happens when an infected mosquito bites someone, experts say, with higher temperatures and higher rainfall amounts, the mosquitoes that carry these viruses are extending their range. >> mosquitoes love warm weather, so over time, we were starting to see dengue spread in mosquitoes more northward.

>> the most common symptoms are fever, nausea, vomiting, and rash. they start within two weeks and last anywhere from 2 to 7 days. >> good morning. we've got a high pressure firmly in control. today begins to fade away tomorrow. so as it's at its strength today, we'll see anywhere from 3 to 8 degrees of warming. from yesterday's highs. so that is going to bring a very hot day inland. we had our seven day stretch early july. now we're in the middle of a shorter stretch. we'll see some cooling as soon as tomorrow. right now it is mild in spots from the upper 60s in the south bay to the mid 60s in the east bay. we've got 55 in sonoma and the deck of low clouds not as expansive. this morning we could see a little smoke drift up from the south. but you know, with high pressure in control, putting a lid on the atmosphere and our spare the air alert, you're going to see some haze out there, even though this is really high in the atmosphere. so more than likely it's just that poor to moderate air

quality. you notice today, even hotter inland, we're going to add about three degrees. it was 105 in livermore. maybe 108 today. it stays comfortable at the coast with plenty of sunshine temperatures in the 60s. and as we look towards the weekend, it's cooler. in fact, we're going to see significant cooling. this is your friday forecast where we still have 101 in concord. so over 100 degrees in antioch and livermore. but it should be a little bit better than today, than back to the 80s. around the bay shore temperatures will jump up as much as nine degrees today in san francisco. notice on saturday we're back into the 60s with some mid 90s inland and even cooler a bit below average on sunday. so get set for mid 80s in oakland today. 102 santa rosa. looking at a hot day in the south bay. 99 san jose, possibly 107, in concord. reggie kumasi lisa, thank you. >> more pressure on president biden to step aside a new poll out overnight showing how americans feel as the president prepares to address the public

calling cards, but wine growers are finding themselves in a too much of a good thing situation. much of the state's harvest could go to waste this year. on abc seven's getting answers, kyle collins, manager of operations for allied grape growers, talked about the issue. >> we are in the midst of a historic global wine glut. across the world. we see wine demand and case good sales declining as part of a broader decline in alcohol consumption. but in the state of california specifically, we are in an oversupply position in terms of just vineyards in the ground. we have more vineyards in the ground than the market can carry at the moment. and so the degree to which that is still somewhat to be seen, but it is an issue and it is one that is being addressed and has been over the last few months. >> allied grape growers estimates about 30,000 acres of grape vines have been removed in the state this year. >> a huge congratulations to our friends over at pixar in
