6:04 am
off. >> killian does have a criminal past, however. police records show that back in 2011, he served 60 days in jail for misdemeanor assault on a police officer in north carolina. the incident involved a gun at a gas station, as well as a high speed chase with speeds up to 125 miles an hour. assistant chief ryan cunningham works at the police department in the city where that took place. >> for any law enforcement agency as a whole, this is a very serious and a dangerous situation, cunningham says. >> while he doesn't remember many specific details about killian, the news of the shootings in alameda has shocked his department in murphy, north carolina. it's just the tragedy and you know, you can only hope and pray for the families and the neighbors in that area and the law enforcement that's involved, no matter the amount of training that we've had, doesn't prepare you to respond to an incident like this. a sense of disbelief also felt by saxby and his coworkers here in the bay area. >> two, we really didn't believe that what actually happened until we recognized his house and his vehicle, and we started

6:13 am
is not a bridge, but the tire marks tell a story of a neighborhood that has been crying out for help. >> all the cars and bikes running around at like 1 a.m. 2 a.m. wake everyone up after multiple years waiting for a solution. >> this week the city installed speed bumps, hoping this will stop the sideshows that torment this neighborhood. this worker who did not want to be identified, said they constantly come back to work. the morning after a sideshow to graffiti on their walls. >> the first thing you can see, because you have to cross the streets. the walls where i work vandalized. >> they're hoping the speed bumps will make a difference. >> i'm a fan. if it's going to stop these sideshows in 2020, supervisor asha safai introduced legislation to combat sideshows in san francisco. >> it allowed sfpd to impound vehicles for 14 days after the first offense. after the second offense and even stronger penalty. >> you're involved in stunt driving in san francisco. we're taking your car for 30 days.
6:14 am
>> our abc seven news data team looked into the latest incident reports and found that since january, there have been 24 stunt driving incidents reported in the city and 11 just last month, according to supervisor safai, not many cars have been impounded. multiple sideshows in san francisco this year, and only five cars have been impounded. >> only five to date. and last year in 2023, only six. >> if this legislation is not stopping them, then what can? we spoke to oakland council member noel gayo. oakland has been fighting sideshows for years, so what is working for them in the neighborhoods? >> uh- the planter boxes, cement boxes, the trees that neighbors have planning does deter the sideshows from coming into our neighborhood streets. >> his message to san francisco. >> you know, it's worth the try. >> luz pena, abc seven news. >> supervisor safai says he's concerned speed bumps will move. sideshows to another san

francisco neighborhood and not actually fix the problem. he is urging sfpd to enforce that legislation in the east bay. the point molate property will be sold to the east bay regional park district. the 80 acre former navy site is located on the western shore of richmond. this $40 million deal puts the site on track to becoming a parkland. most of that money will come from a state grant. half of the proceeds will go to a tribe that had an agreement to develop a casino there. the decision comes from new city council members. they decided to cut losses on several plans and not spend millions of dollars on new development. cupertino is working with vallco developers to waive $77 million in fees. it will help propel the city's largest ever housing development forward. our media partner is the mercury news reports. the developers will pay more than $10 million to fund infrastructure projects, as well
6:16 am
as $32 million in other fees. the rise development will be at the former site of the shopping mall. it includes nearly 2700 housing units, nearly 900 of those would be affordable to lower income families. the deal is expected to be finalized at next tuesday's city council meeting. for the first time ever, cannabis is on sale legally at the state fair in the u.s, the historic moment was caught on video at the california state fair in sacramento. you can eat it, drink it or smoke it, and organizers have been working for years now to make that happen. a cannabis exhibit is recognized in the fair's golden bear agricultural awards. they say california has been a pioneer in cannabis cultivation, and it's time to recognize one of our premier crops. now to a big unveiling here in san francisco. we got a sneak peek at the zero emissions passenger ferry that will cruise through the bay. you're looking at sea change.
6:17 am
it's the world's first commercial passenger ferry, powered 100% by zero emission hydrogen fuel cells. the 70 foot catamaran fits up to 75 people. the state is now requiring all short distance ferries to be emissions free by the end of 2025. >> it's just appropriate that san francisco, which is a leader in so many things and especially when it comes to the environment, is a leader in making sure that ferries become clean, because i think that was the one criticism of water transit. it was that it was polluting. >> starting july 19th, sea change will run for free for six months, so you can check it out. that's not the only change coming as well. the angel island tiburon ferry company has signed an agreement with a company from new zealand. it will design and build a new vessel as the company prepares to convert its boat fleet to fully electric. happening today, the stadium style catamaran race called

6:19 am
unfortunately hopefully no fires with that. but for the bay area we are looking at extra cloud cover, mount tam somewhat colorful there and temperatures have really cooled off. that started yesterday. it is 54 half moon bay, 60, in hayward. good morning san jose 66. everyone is cloudy and we are looking at that southwest wind gusting to over 30 miles an hour. so the view from our east bay hills camera looking out towards what you can barely see the east bay valleys. and that's because that marine layer has grown much deeper. it's dense at the coast, so some visibility issues there. 54 santa rosa. it is in the 60s pretty much in our inland valleys, but these numbers are coming down this morning. they came down yesterday. so the coastal fog with patchy dense spots this morning and a lot of cloud cover beginning to thin out throughout the afternoon. but we get our cooling trend over the weekend. it continues into next week with temperatures near or a bit below average for the first and middle part of the workweek. so here's a look at
6:20 am
all that cloud cover moving up from the south. we have a south surface wind, and so that's pulling up that extra cloud cover. eventually it will work to help our air quality. and then by the second half of the weekend we'll see the clouds really banked up along the coast and more sun. so a couple things going on with that system linking up with another one to the north of us. there's a look at that wind. it gets a little bit more robust throughout the afternoon and through the delta here. so temperatures today barely in the mid 90s in our inland valleys. and then once again for our sunday we're getting back into that surface southerly flow. and that allows for that cooler air of the fog to stay put. here's a look at what you can expect for next week. this is wednesday where we've got a pretty nice day again with the afternoon sun, morning fog, 60s and 70s from the coast to the bay and then inland. there will top out in the 90s. but as we get to your thursday, the temperatures coming up just a little bit and we'll see 70s and still that cool air from the shoreline, but
6:21 am
into next friday, that will be the warmest day that we see where numbers will be in the mid to upper 90s inland and some 80s around the bay shore. so we'll watch that and see if it continues into that warmer trend. 73 today partly cloudy. oakland 83 in napa, 94 in livermore, partly to mostly cloudy skies. the accuweather seven day forecast. breezy cooler today a mix of clouds and sun early. and then we clear out for your sunday. notice the trend? we'll stay very comfortable right through the next several days near average. and then as we get into that warm up that looks like to the mid to the end of next week. stephanie. >> all right lisa, thank you. when we return on abc seven mornings, a potential rate hike for california homeowners. how much all state is now trying to raise insurance
6:22 am
6:23 am
6:24 am
asking for an increase amid other companies denying insurance to certain california homeowners, wildfires and the rising cost of building materials are the main reasons allstate is pursuing this increase. and for many homeowners, it's becoming difficult to find any insurance. >> we have shopped around. it's not for the best rate. it's for anybody who will insure us. >> yeah, that is the reality for so many across the bay area. allstate stopped writing new california homeowner insurance policies in november of 2022, and last year the company got approval for a 4% rate hike. a final decision about the most recent price hike is still under review in san francisco. laurene powell jobs, the widow of apple founder steve jobs, bought a home in pacific heights for get this $70 million. it's a mansion on broadway and it was never officially listed for sale. the owner is reportedly sought $100 million for the home. the previous record in san francisco
