>> good evening. i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley. >> thanks for joining us. we have a lot to get to tonight and we'll start with the heat today. >> got up there with the temperatures and as we look out live from our east bay hills camera, those inland areas are the target once again. >> abc7 news meteorologist sandhya patel is here with everything we should expect for tomorrow in our 24 hour accuweather forecast. sandhya. >> yeah, and dan and ama today we had triple digits, some upper 90s. tomorrow it's going to be, let's just say hot enough that you might want to hit the beach. does this remind you of your childhood days? this is the boardwalk in santa cruz. some fun in the sun, enjoying the rides? here's a look at how hot it's going to get. livermore 97 degrees tomorrow 98 in brentwood. low 90s from san jose to morgan hill, santa a 95 in calistoga and 92 degrees in santa rosa. looking at your planner, there will be areas of fog dense in the morning, temperatures in the 50s and 60s, temperatures rising by noontime, and the summer heat is with us with upper 90s inland mid 60s

coast side, mild to warm weather later on in the evening. we do have some changes coming as we hit the holiday weekend. i'll be back with the forecast coming right up. >> all right sandhya, thank you. we'll check back. tonight, police in oakland are investigating a shooting outside a dollar tree store. we counted about two dozen shell casings in the parking lot on east 12th street at 25th avenue, about a mile from fruitvale. bart police say one person was shot and killed there just before 4 p.m. they were at a tent where people could sign up for free cell phone service. police haven't shared any details about a suspect. and we're following the story of a deadly wrong-way crash in san jose. monday. dash cam video from another driver on 85 shows the truck as you see there, driven by a florida man shortly before it hit a tesla suv, killing the people inside. a 47 year old woman and 14 year old boy. the chp says the truck was heading in the wrong direction for several minutes before the crash. the 39 year old truck driver remains in the hospital with major injuries. he has yet to be charged but could face felony manslaughter

charges. >> new at 11 leaders in san francisco schools are laying out how they'll make some tough decisions and figure out which schools to close. san francisco unified is facing a financial crisis, and it doesn't have enough students to keep every school open. a coalition of unions protested ahead of today's meeting, calling out the staffing shortage in the district and demanding that state financial monitors speed up hiring. the district admits it's struggling to keep classrooms staffed, and many campuses are in poor shape. it's not clear how many schools could close next year. the district says it will consider how many campuses are in each area. historical inequities in neighborhoods, academic performance, teacher turnover and building conditions, among other factors. >> we can better support our students, not by trying to maintain buildings, but by trying to provide in those buildings the resources that our students need. >> on september 18th, the superintendent will send letters

to families with the district's proposed list of closures. sfusd says it will hold at least two meetings, with each potentially closing school before the school board's final vote in december. and of course, there will be a lot of debate when that list comes out in response to the protest today, the school district told us in a statement, quote, sfusd continues to work collaboratively with our fiscal advisors and labor partners to hire for vacant positions. >> the benefits and safety of synthetic turf is something we have taken a close look at in recent years, either as a drought solution or with concerns over chemicals. the debate is fierce. today, santa clara county delayed a vote on a possible ban until january. the study, though supervisors received from the public health department, admits some health risks, but the conclusions are mixed. abc seven news southbay reporter lauren martinez has more on a similar discussion tonight in the city of sunnyval. >> these fields used to be filled with svr rubber, which

was basically ground up tires. okay. it's now filled with organic materials. >> supporters of synthetic turf want to make sure their voices are heard. on tuesday night, sunnyvale city council members considered banning artificial turf on city fields. some of the youth sports organizations are questioning what's the rush on a ban? >> we have so many questions. why was there no outreach to the people who rent these fields, who provide services on behalf of the city of sunnyvale to our residents? >> sandra todd is with sunnyvale alliance soccer club, representatives from little league, softball and rugby organizations sent councilors a joint letter on why they feel synthetic turf fields add positive value. fair oaks is the city's only public park that has synthetic fields, so you can use an artificial turf field about 3 to 4 times as many hours as a grass field because it doesn't get damaged. advocates for artificial turf say it provides accessibility through the winter. the city closes their

grass fields from december 1st to march 1st. >> maybe they're an improvement, but there's still a long way to go from safe. >> courtney jensen, co-founder of community for natural play services, is a supporter of a ban. >> today it was like 95 degrees in sunnyvale, and i measured a piece of grass outside of the play area, and that was i think like 80 degrees. and i went onto the field and i measured the turf, and that was between 130 and 140 degrees. >> earlier tuesday morning, the santa clara county board of supervisors decided to postpone a decision on artificial turf. opponents of abandoned sunnyvale hope city councilors will take their time as well. >> santa clara county just released a great big, long report that our counselors look at that. okay, let's use the science and let's use current information. and let's make a really nuanced discussion. the supervisors will now vote on the issue in january in the south bay. >> lauren martinez, abc seven news. >> so much of our daily work

here at abc seven is about building a better bay area. so when we see signs of progress, we want to share them with you. and tonight there's a breakthrough to help get more electric vehicles on our roads. california is getting nearly $150 million to build charging stations all across the state. now that includes $14 million in federal grant funding for bart to install charging ports at every single bart parking lot. most of the total money will go toward building charging stations for zero emission trucks across the west coast. over in oakland, the school district is looking to build a better bay area by helping out the planet. it is the first school district anywhere to electrify its entire fleet of school busses. >> they are dope, if i may use that word. yes. they're awesome. >> i'm glad that they thought about the environment and the kids health. when he got home, he was like, mom, mom, clean, clean. and i was like, they are clean. i saw that, so he was excited. >> a families can track the

busses through an app which lets which tells them when the bus will arrive at their house and when their child has been dropped off at school. that's reassuring for parents. the busses are actually owned by a company called zoom, which offsets the cost by using the busses batteries to sell power to the electric company. it's pronounced zoom, but spelled zoom. by the way, our final building a better bay area breakthrough, brings us to the peninsula and a milestone moment for san mateo county's largest affordable housing project ever. the county board of supervisors approved a $14 million loan today to continue construction at midway village in daly city's bayshore neighborhood. we were there in 2022 as construction was underway in the first phase of the development near the cow palace, 147 affordable housing units opened in may. the loan, approved today, will help pay for construction of 111 more apartments. the county hopes to have more than 550 affordable homes by the time the work is done.

>> after decades in south bay politics, santa clara county supervisor cindy chavez has a new job out of state. today, the commissioners in bernalillo county, new mexico, approved chavez's contract as county manager. chavez has been a major player in the south bay for years, serving on the san jose city council and the santa clara county board of supervisors. she unsuccessfully ran for san jose mayor twice, most recently in 2022. in her new role, chavez will be returning to her home state, managing the county that includes albuquerque. >> it's very bittersweet. i don't think i actually knew exactly what that word meant until now. and, you know, and i it's something that, i'm still sort of processing, to be frank with you, because, you know, i love this place, and we've done so much to build it up. and this will always be my home. >> chavez will start her new job in november, by which point south bay voters will have elected her replacement in the federal election interference case against former president donald trump. >> special counsel jack smith

filed what's known as a superseding indictment today. it does not drop any of the original four charges against trump. instead, it adjusts the charges in response to the supreme court's ruling last month on presidential immunity. san jose congresswoman zoe lofgren explains the big change in the indictment. >> mr. smith has to accommodate his indictment to that case, and there's two elements to it. one is the acts themselves, and of course, the other is what evidence can be used. he's properly taken out the communication with jeff clark. the court said specifically that that could not be used as evidence. >> the trump pleaded not guilty to the original charges last august. >> former president trump said today he will take part in the abc news debate with kamala harris. there were some indications he might back out. there is one question that remains unsettled, and that is whether the microphones will be muted when the candidates aren't speaking. trump has said he'd

like it on, but his team wants it off. the harris campaign has said it wants the mics on. you can watch the abc news presidential debate tuesday, september 10th right here on abc seven. our coverage starts at 5 p.m. the debate begins at six. >> coming up here, a wedding day disaster avoided. we first showed you the saga last week. now a local bay area bridal store is stepping in to save the big day. >> plus, an invasive mosquito makes it back into the bay area. but this one does much more than just a nasty bite. >> and a newfound star with tonight's season premiere of only murders in the building. how a so-called party pig is hogging the spotlight

abc seven news at 11. we told you about a bride to be and her nightmare of a wedding dress story. >> it was a real mess. the pittsburgh bridal shop where she purchased her dress suddenly closed without giving her the dress, and all with less than two weeks before the wedding. >> dozens of viewers reached out to us after the story, and tonight, that bride to be has an all new wedding dress. >> abc seven news reporter j.r stone has the story. >> hi guys. we're at nellie's bridal boutique in south san francisco. >> akilah mungoshi is all smiles in this newly recorded video, but last week it was a different story when the bridal shop in pittsburgh, where she bought her dress many months ago, suddenly closed. the owner, nowhere to be found before the alterations were made, all less than two weeks from michaela's wedding. >> completely empty. no dresses, no nothing. >> i was just like, what is going on? >> i honestly thought something had happened to her. >> days after our story ran,

that owner was suddenly around again, even meeting with aqilah, but without a dress and upset that the story went public. >> he did apologize. >> i was not told that i had to apologize to you. what do i have to apologize to you for? >> hours later, akilah was given a refund, but no dress. but that was then. and this is now. >> i wanted akilah to forget about the past and the experience that she had, and i wanted to create a new experience for her at a bridal store. >> that's nelly santana of nellie's bridal boutique, one of many who saw the story and wanted to help and did so by reaching out to both me and akila's friend carlina. >> i got emails even this morning, still offering the dress jr. >> there were about three ladies or one lady in michigan who actually upset a dress out here to me. you know, she knew it might not fit, but you know, she saw the story and she said she was almost in tears, you know, but it was nellie's family run

store in south san francisco that came through in the end with a dress that fits like a glove and only requires minimal alterations. >> the first dress that i pulled out, it's the is the dress that aqilah loved. tried it on and we were all in tears after that. wow. >> tears? yes it was. >> it was very emotional. honestly, in the 20 years that my family has had the business and myself, i don't think i've ever experienced that emotion of the gratitude as well as the happiness. >> there are pictures of akilah in the initial dress that she never got, but there are no pictures yet of her in the new designer dress that nellie gifted her free of charge. not until wedding day, which is sunday. where is the dress right now? >> it is in my hotel room. it is not going to nobody but the lady in the alteration shop. >> j.r. you know abc, all of you all. thank you. you guys have

just come through and we can't. thank you enough. thank you for spreading the word. >> if i got anything from this it's not to give up on humanity because there are good people. there really are good people. >> j.r. >> stone abc seven news. >> well, that is sweet. there are good people out there. all right. it is not the way you want to end a vacation. getting a list of chores before you can head home. a bill on the governor's desk is trying to add more transparency to airbnb bookings. this week, the state senate passed a bill that would require airbnb and other short term rental companies to disclose cleaning requirements during the booking process. if governor newsom signs the bill into law, those rules would kick in next july. >> in the east bay county, crews are going door to door on the hunt for a dangerous mosquito. officials in contra costa county say they have found an aedes aegypti mosquito in a trap in north concord. while the invasive bugs haven't been recorded in the county in two years, they tend to bite people

during the day and can transmit diseases including zika, yellow and dengue fevers. crews will be going door to door in the north concord area to look for more signs of these mosquitoes. they want to eradicate them as quickly as they can. on the other side of the country, a man in new hampshire has died from a rare and deadly virus spread by mosquitoes. the man tested positive for eastern equine encephalitis, also known as triple e, this year, the cdc has found cases in five states. >> a popular weight loss drug will soon be easier to access. zeppelin maker eli lilly will now allow patients to buy it online in vile form. no insurance is needed, but you'll still need a prescription that was previously sold only in an autoinjector. >> this is our autoinjector, which is the normal. zeppelin people may use. today we're introducing the vial, which is comes in a box like this, but will look like this. it's a very small vial and it will ship with a needle if you need that. and people will self draw it up and self inject. >> it will cost $340 for the low

dose, and $549 for the high dose for a one month supply, that's about half the price of the auto injector. >> some entertainment news only murders in the building is back with season four making its premiere on hulu tonight, and there's quite possibly a new star that could have people going, well, hog wild. >> yes, joining the cast is sprinkle, better known in the new england area for bringing joy to parties. sprinkle has a couple of siblings, gilbert and dot, but she's the one who was on the show. her owner says everyone was amazed at how well-behaved sprinkle was and how neat pigs are as pets. >> it was so much fun. they are the nicest people. it was just everybody loves sprinkle on set. >> the pig trio usually travels around going to schools, parties and other events and a social media post. from gilbert's account, it says the pigs are open to doing more tv work. >> call their agent, call their agent. exactly. a star is born. yes. all right. again, you can
