president. there is no sign that is related to the shooting. house majority leader steve scalise said he believes the secret service director should resign. scalise was shot and wounded at a congressional baseball practice in 2017. one injured victim from the weekend, 74 year old james copenhaver, is still in critical condition. this morning, his family released this photo and a statement asking for privacy. both survivors are still at a hospital in pittsburgh. the other survivor is now out of a medically induced coma. 57 year old david dutch, a former marine, was shot in the chest and liver. he's been upgraded from critical condition. former president donald trump has spoken with the family of the only person killed at the rally on saturday, corey compatri. it comes after carpenter's widow says she hadn't heard from the former president immediately following the shooting. carpenter was a firefighter. he leaves behind his wife and two daughters. he is a step nephew of a former menifee city

police reports involving the duong family. last month, the fbi raided mayor tao's house and homes belonging to members of the duong family. they own california waste solutions, a recycling company that operates in oakland. as the abc seven news i-team is reported, this may be linked in part to a campaign contribution laundering scheme. abc seven news spoke with an expert who says the subpoena is not necessarily to uncover any wrongdoing by the oakland police department, but rather to see if any victims have filed complaints related to those under investigation. he suggests it may also be to establish a timeline. what we appear to be, entertaining is a massive corruption investigation that is currently underway by the grand jury at the instruction of the department of justice. no charges have been filed. and mayor tao has denied any wrongdoing. wood says the this type of fbi grand jury investigation could go on for months if not into next year.

to celebrate with brown. she was the first and only woman to lead the black panther party, an organization founded in oakland in 1966 dedicated to fighting for housing, health care, food, employment and education for the black community. last year, brown and i walked through the site as the building was going up. >> this pretty cool. >> is this cool or what? >> today we walked through a finished unit in a finished building. >> i hate the word surreal because it's been so overused, but it really is surreal. >> there are 79 units in this five story complex, built on a lot that had been sitting vacant in this west oakland community for three decades. all units will not only be affordable, but specifically for people with very low or extremely low incomes. so far, more than 7000 people have already applied to live here. in addition to the units in this building, the ground floor is going to have five businesses launched by oakland in the world and owned by people who've been incarcerated or marginalized. this space will be the tech

business power bit operated by michael buckley and his brother. >> it's incredible. i grew up here. i'm from west oakland, went to mcclymonds, went right here to prescott, lived right down the street. so i seen this neighborhood, you know, come and go. things get tore down and things get rebuilt. and it's just amazing to see that a building like this is being built right here in the community. >> brown hopes this building will be a model for others in oakland and other cities, and carry on the legacy of the black panther party. >> i hope that this building represents the power of the people bringing back our our dedication and saying to each other power, power to the peopl. >> it's nice to see something positive going on over there. >> right? and it's been years in the making. i talked with them last year when they were just kind of going through this process and to celebrate with the community. when i tell you the community came out to celebrate, if you think about it, like elaine brown said, she'd never done anything like this before trying to raise $80

million. she raised. do you know how expensive housing is here? so she raised $80 million. all of it will be affordable when people move in their furniture everything will be there. so they don't have to worry about that. but i think it just underscores how like, great the need is because i was talking to the resident manager and she says, so far, like more than 7000 people have already applied. you're kidding. yes to live there. so the fight does continue to expand things like this to make sure that people have housing who really need it. it is so nice. when i walked in there, i was like, when like, this is so beautiful. good. >> yeah, i'm glad to hear that. >> so congratulations to the black panther party. that's fantastic. yeah. >> love that. this morning, san rafael were cloudy out there. expect a lot more cloud cover this morning than yesterday. but the accuweather headlines are calling for a warming trend to get underway here today. sunshine a bit breezy this afternoon. and then tomorrow we're heating up inland. thursday and friday. those temperatures going above average. and then for the weekend outlook cooler weather
