end of the ceremony. first, two quick shots and then more repeatedly towards the ceremony and the crowds. witnesses told nbc bay area there was a white car with a window down, driving around the parking lot and someone was firing a gun. several shots toward the graduation ceremony and the crowds, everything got chaotic. everyone was running, one man told me. his family scrambled for safety and so did everyone else. people were running in all directions. a graduate said it happened right after the ceremony ended, when people were taking pictures and hoped to start celebrating. and then, next thing you know, we hear gunshots. i mean, it was i thought it was fireworks at first, but it was gunshots instead. their night of celebration was interrupted with gun violence as police escorted people from the school and police cars darted in different directions, ones in what appeared to be a search. and gia, we also heard from police that they did do a sweep with chp. the campus is cleared. it's

safe, but they did not give us any more details about that vehicle, the vehicle description or who these suspects might be. gia and tom, do we know any more about the victims, students, parents, educators, perhaps? we just know that there are an adult female, an adult male in stable condition, that they were taken to the hospital by paramedics. live in oakland. thank you. tom. also tonight, a very obvious sign that fire season is here. three brush fires broke out in antioch around the same time and had crews scrambling. first one just before 4 p.m. charred about 20 acres off slaton ranch road near highway four and the antioch bart station. second one broke out near the antioch marina. check out the wind blown flames shooting higher than the trees. you see it right there, and some boat owners say they were really worried. big, big flames, big black smoke. and so i was getting ready to get off the boat if i needed to, or grabbed

my dog and when it looked like when, when i saw the helicopters coming in to do their water drops, i knew we'd be okay at this point, no word on what started either fire. thankfully, no one was hurt and there was no damage to the piers or the building. we don't have video of the third fire, but crews were also able to put it out safely, not just contra costa county. a busy day for firefighters in hayward too. they put out a fire burning near 880. happened around 130 this afternoon near alvarado boulevard. the video shows cars driving by through that smoke. still no word on what caused this fire either. well, recently planted trees, all ruined in a south bay neighborhood. just a couple of weeks ago, san jose city leaders helped plant nearly 30 trees in the cal willow neighborhood. now, almost all of them have been destroyed. san jose police say someone is in custody. nbc bay area's justin moran is in the newsroom tonight, and, jocelyn, what do we know how these trees were planted? after hearing from businesses that more shade was needed along the sidewalks on willow, hoping it

would bring more business to their stores. mayor mehan even helped plant them. but the only lasted about a week before somebody decided to damage 26 of the 29 trees. residents in the area say they're mad and fed up with the overall crime in the area. two it was all smiles and cheers on may 9th, the day these trees were planted. today, this is what's left of them. san jose police say the man in this photo damaged 26 of them. just one week after they were planted. tonight he's in police custody. niello espinosa says he saw him do it, describing him as quiet and reserved. he saw him cut one of the trees and asked him why he was doing it. he says the man didn't respond. the next day, cornelius saw just how much damage was done. the trees now have to be repaired. tonight. the city says changes are coming to make sure something like this doesn't happen again. now that we know that there's folks who want to harm our environment. and so we are making sure that the trees are are wired, the

barbed wire or the chicken wire. right. so it one and it allows the, the trees to still grow, but it prevents folks from, grabbing and, creating damage to the tree. pico boulevard this business owner and the willow area has noticed an uptick in crime. she says her business has been robbed at least twice. the new chief of our police department. meanwhile, san jose city councilman omar torres says crime is top of mind. we have a newly formed business association and they're holding us accountable. jocelyn moran, nbc bay area news investigators are trying to figure out what led up to an officer involved shooting in san francisco's bayview district. it happened just after three this afternoon when police arrived at jennings street and donner avenue and spotted a man with a weapon. now the initial reports that came in said he was carrying a rifle. police say the officer was not hurt, but the suspect was injured, not by gunfire, though investigators managed to take him into custody, then to the

hospital to be treated at this point, they're not saying who fired their weapon or if the suspect is facing charges. the department says it plans to release more details at a town hall meeting within the next ten days. a happy ending an oakland woman believed to be missing in mendocino, mendocino county, has been found safe. sheriff's office says 70 year old elizabeth schenck was visiting brule point area yesterday, which is west of highway one, when she disappeared while on a walk tuesday. search crews found her today in a heavily wooded area north of fort bragg. she is expected to be okay. well, the affluent peninsula town of atherton is using a very unique method to catch burglars. the police say neighbors are now volunteering to turn their homes into bait houses. nbc bay area's robert honda has details on how it works. this drone is the type used by atherton police for all types of emergency situations, and now it's part of a system designed to catch burglars. the town has had a dramatic rise in

home burglaries this year, double the rate of last year, so police came up with the idea of turning about 50 homes into so-called bait houses. we are not showing any of those homes in this story, but the bait is out there and waiting. what we're doing is we're embedding tracking devices into items of property that we believe subjects want to target when they're committing burglaries. and so the idea behind it is once one of these items starts being moved, we will get a notification at the police department, which is going to start our response. the police response is to launch a drone to follow the tracking device. then there are about 50 mounted license plate readers throughout the town that can detect the getaway vehicle and provide a description, all in hopes of apprehending the burglars. in this town of only five square miles. residents. we talked to were impressed. we have three of the license plate cameras surrounding the loyden park neighborhood of, i mean, i don't know, basically i don't like surveillance much, but i think

this is an effective scheme. police acknowledge the bait houses are similar to bait cars designed to tempt thieves, but emphasize with bait houses. there is no trying to entice burglars. we are not setting homes up to where? hey! come here. this is the house that we want you to burglarize. it is a home where we're working with the community and they're saying, hey, we're interested in this program. we're going into their homes, embedding those tracking devices on stuff that is already existing inside of the property. and then once it gets taken, then we start our investigation. technology should be used for good purposes. and this sounds like a good purpose in atherton. robert honda, nbc, bay area news. a late night move in antioch to strip the title of board president from the school district trustee that board president says is an attempt to silence him for holding the district and the superintendent accountable for how they're handling worker bullying complaints. given the clear violation of the board policies and protocols, i'm calling for a censure resolution to be

included in next month's governing board meeting and to add a discussion item to consider the potential removal of board president hernandez from a position as president. that motion follows our investigative unit report last month, where several workers accused the district's maintenance director of bullying them. they filed complaints against ken turnage with the district. the workers believe the superintendent turned a blind eye because she's close friends with turnage, and she hasn't responded to that claim. board president antonio hernandez called for her resignation last night. board trustee mary rocha accused hernandez of putting the district's reputation in jeopardy with his public criticism. board president hernandez behavior is disrespectful and flies in the face of our board policies. the system, the school district, people. anyone can tell me what i should or shouldn't do, but the only thing i know, truthfully in my heart is that the way to reach unity is by doing what i know is right for our employees and our students.

board members will discuss removing hernandez, president at the june 26th meeting. but last night, they also decided to consider another wider third party investigation into how the district as a whole is handling employee concerns. oakland's mayor says the city has found ways to address a nearly $300 million shortfall in the next two years. i will protect city services. my budget will not reduce public safety. my budget will not close firehouses or libraries or recreation center. in a news conference today, mayor shengtao outlined what she calls her five priorities, including creating a safe city, economic development and addressing the structural budget deficit. the city is facing a $117 million budget deficit this year, and 175 million shortfall next year. the mayor says cuts will include freezing around 100 city positions, reducing non-critical contracts and streamlining some services. the budget details will be released

tomorrow and a final budget must be approved by the end of june. we're following developing story in southern california. ucla increasing security patrols tonight after new protests broke out today. video shows the empty campus this evening. today's protests shut down a small area on campus. it came as the school chancellor testified before a house committee over the school's response to earlier protests. law enforcement responded to the demonstration this afternoon, and protesters left. this comes after weeks of a larger encampment, which was eventually dismantled by police. 200 people were arrested at that particular encampment. we're back in 60s, just ahead, stuck in a tough spot. the challenging rescue off our coast after a rock climber took a bad fall. and the message first responders want you to hear as memorial day weekend approaches. as the state gave many of us free money a year and a half ago, well, next week the state's going to start taking back some of what families didn't spend. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. tonight we're going to

help you claim and protect your money. next i'm chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. we're in for some big time changes. we're tracking a storm to the north. i'll show you everything we'ren for as

at skyline high on graduation night this is a live look at the

scene, still a heavy police presence. officers looking for more suspects. this is what happened late tonight. police confirmed two people were shot. a man and a woman. we don't know their ages. we don't know why they were there. happened in the parking lot. witnesses tell us someone fired a gun from a car toward the graduation ceremony. both of the people who were hit are now in the hospital, listed in stable condition. as we learn more, we'll bring it to you both on air and online at nbcbayarea.com. new video showing crews racing to save a rock climber who fell in marin county. it happened around 1:00 this afternoon just south of stinson beach. firefighter crews say the man fell 20ft from a rock in the steep ravine area. crews used a helicopter to reach him and hoisted him to safety. he was taken to the hospital. his condition is not known. tonight, as we head into the holiday weekend, though, firefighters are reminding you to always hike or climb with a buddy. that's good advice. okay, state lawmakers poised to hit the jackpot next week. they could score more than a quarter billion dollars to spend any way

they want. the thing is, some of that money might actually be yours to spend however you want. consumer investigator chris kamara is here to explain why and to help you get your slice before lawmakers do. good evening. the next few minutes could put a couple hundred bucks back in your pocket. record prices at the gas pump. sudden inflation in unleaded gas for over $7 a gallon hit family finances hard in 2022. not just for gas, but for everything else. it's really hard. state lawmakers and the governor responded with an emergency relief program. it's called the middle class tax refund, and it's our way of getting money back into your pockets to help with everyday expenses. sacramento sent millions of people a debit card or deposited money directly into their bank accounts. it was for $700. carlos solis, who's a san jose state student, welcomed the relief money. which i thought, you know, this will help me. i

mean, tremendous to pay tuition. a year and a half later, part of the relief program is beginning to wind down. but state financial records we reviewed show hundreds of millions of dollars left unspent. and now at risk of not benefiting any families at all. in fact, next week, the franchise tax board is set to trigger a huge transfer on june 1st, it will move more than $360 million out of the better for families fund and into the general fund, where lawmakers can spend it however they want. before we dig into how and why so much emergency money from 2022 is still sitting unclaimed in 2024, we're going to put a qr code up on the screen, snap it to contact the state to see if your due any money. if the government makes a promise to help the people, they should remember carlos and his

$700 will turns out part of his relief money was stuck. he couldn't transfer it all from his car to his bank. so i kept calling and calling for the period of six seven months. and it was the same deal every every day, every time. it was just, oh, sorry to hear that. or let me transfer you to the right department. and i got disconnected. ultimately, he asked for our team's help to get his full 700 bucks without our intervention. the state might have labeled his account dormant and might have sent his money back to lawmakers. that's not acceptable. other people complained to us, too. this is our tax money and state lawmakers. we got calls, you know, by the hundreds from people who literally could never get through on the customer assistance lines. and that frustration ultimately led, i think, for people to just give up. a recent state audit of the refund program found lax oversight at the franchise tax board, allowing its private card contractor to ignore 36% of calls for live help with the tax

rebate cards. the vendor, called money network, told us. calls were not answered for various reasons, like some callers hanging up quickly, it said the middle class tax refund program was unprecedented in speed and scale. the big failure was on the folks who were not able to get through in the system, and the folks now who still have these benefits coming to them, who haven't access to them yet. if you never got a payment or aren't sure, speak up before june 1st. scan that qr code. now if you've got a debit card but haven't spent it all, your balance is safe. for now, the state is holding that money in a different bucket that lawmakers can't claw back until 2026. if you forget, it's okay. we're going to be back in two years to remind you, but we really do recommend you use that money now. carlos contacted us online. you can to snap this qr code to fill out our consumer complaint form. yep. if you want the money, that's what you have to do. good idea to do it asap. all

right, jeff ranieri here now okay jeff what's that? big changes are. we are talking about the chill cold or temperatures after upper 80s. this week we're going to be seeing numbers tomorrow down into the 60s. we have this cold front that's moving in tomorrow. so not only drop in temperatures also bringing in some wind and the chance here of some drizzle. let me get you more details on that right now to get you into that memorial day weekend forecast. and as we started off tomorrow, you know, it can be a big travel day for a lot of you. if you're headed out in the morning, do expect cloud cover, even the chance here of a little bit of spotty drizzle. we will, however, clear it out to a good amount of sunshine by the afternoon. we'll be into a repeat performance of this as we head into saturday morning with the clouds. also, the drizzle. but then here's the thing. we should then clear it back to that sunshine through saturday afternoon and sunday and monday looks even a lot better. now. the other thing we're going to have to get through here is the wind. i see it the strongest tomorrow morning at the coastline, 20 to about 50mph.

we'll see a burst here of some wind throughout the bay area tomorrow afternoon, 20 to about 45. we'd hang on to some of this wind into saturday morning, and then by sunday morning, any kind of wind should get out of here. so a little bit of speed bump in the road here, so to speak, over the next two days. and then things are looking better for us. we'll start it off tomorrow morning with temperatures right on down into the low 50s for most of the bay area. that will put us to san francisco at 54. one exception is the north bay. that's going to be our chilliest at 48. but look at these daytime highs after those hot numbers, 10 to 20 degrees above average this week. we're now back down to the 60s 67 here in cupertino. it continues over to vallejo, 6866 in danville, 63 in hayward cold 50s and half moon bay up to san francisco, 60. in the outer sunset, it's going to be blustery there. when that wind kicks up, you're going to feel that chill big time. and right here for the north bay 70 and sonoma 67. mill valley, we got a

few national headlines i do want to get to as well. if you're traveling yet again another round of severe weather. we've had weeks on end of this. and from chicago to dallas, that's where it looks like the severe storms will be. maybe some isolated tornadoes could also see some of that strong thunderstorm activity back towards the eastern seaboard. other headline if you have friends or family back along the east is the hurricane forecast for the upcoming season 17 to 25 named storms 4 to 7 could become major hurricanes. that's winds of 111mph and higher. that's the most they've ever forecasted for any season. and that season really kicks into high gear once we hit august and september. okay, let's bring it back locally here. and i think sunday and monday is going to be the best day in that three day forecast. 50s and 60s in san francisco. and after those 60s, next two days we'll get up to 77 on sunday and 78 on monday. so a good rebound once we get over the chilly weather. all right. all right. thanks, jeff. okay. up next it's not your average

fishermans wharf restaurants is suing the city of san francisco for millions. fisherman's grotto and tarantino's each closed in 2020. shortly after the start of the pandemic, the port of san francisco evicted their restaurants, alleging the owner was $1.5 million behind in rent. the ownership group is now trying to recoup what it claims is $2 million spent on repair costs, along with lost revenue and rent reimbursement, citing failure by the city to honor their lease agreement, the city attorney's office told the chronicle that ownership has attempted a series of maneuvers to get out of paying the money it still owes in back rent, and it looks forward to responding in court a bill that would make it easier for pet owners to find housing in california is one step closer to becoming law. that proposed bill would ban no pet policies and prohibit landlords from charging additional fees for a dog or cat. supporters say the lack of pet friendly housing pushes renters to surrender their pets to crowded animal shelters, but the landlords say they're worried about costly repairs. the state assembly has approved

the law. it now goes to the senate. okay, could one of the splash brothers be lured away from the golden state

many are wondering if the five time all-star could be heading to the east coast this summer. that's because yahoo sports reporter jake fisher says, as the philadelphia 76 ers may be targeting thompson who is a free agent right now. as you know thompson has spent his entire nba career with the warriors. he posted 12 games with at least six, made three pointers last season. we shall see. all right to baseball now. the giants wrapped up a wild series in pittsburgh this afternoon. fans of all ages watching the rubber match of this three game series. former giants top pick joey bart hurt his old team early with that right there. he hit a grand slam in the fourth inning to put the pirates up 5 to 1. but in
