strangely, confronting and threatening people, even injuring a police dog. much of the incident was caught on tape, and nbc bay area's robert hunter reports in sunnyvale. officers here at sunnyvale public safety acknowledge this is a very unusual case. and as you'll see, watching the behavior on tape only raises more questions. the postal worker with his vehicle nearby was apparently making his mail rounds on corraleros avenue last wednesday, when he suddenly walked into the middle of the street and began talking out loud, at first seemingly to himself. a couple driving down the street stopped. when they say they couldn't get around him, then started shooting video with their phone cameras from a distance. when the postal carrier turned his attention on them, the husband and wife asked not to be identified because they say they are scared of the mail carrier. he kept pointing at me saying he was going to shoot me, shoot my wife, and, shoot everybody in the car basically. so i started getting scared. he kept reaching into

his pocket at the same time with his other handicapped, like making gestures that he's going to shoot me. the man says. the mail carrier got more and more agitated and started using racial insults. are you saying basically that i don't belong here, saying that he's going to shoot me? they go back to my country, go collect welfare, you know, and whatnot? just crazy remarks. i never seen this man before in my life. officers arrived and removed the couple from the scene. the public safety department confirms the postal carrier made similar threats and gestures at police, then tried to flee. officials say after talks failed, they sent a canine officer but say the mail carrier injured that dog with pepper spray. a neighbor shot this photo of the mail carrier face down on the ground as officers arrested him on a felony charge of making criminal threats and two misdemeanor charges of obstructing a police officer and harming a police canine. he did not have a weapon except for the pepper spray. the woman involved says she's still rattled by the incident. i did take his threats

very seriously and i was afraid because i had never been treated like that before by anyone, especially not postal worker in my neighborhood. since the mail carrier was classified as a mental health case. sunnyvale public safety says he would have been detained for up to 72 hours for psychiatric hospitalization. so, as is typical in these cases, very few details have been released on his current status. we reached out to the u.s. postal service but did not get a response in sunnyvale. robert honda, nbc, bay area news. we are following developing news in north san jose. we could tell you that all lanes of westbound montague expressway are still closed from 880 to mccarthy boulevard. authorities are investigating their clearing as well after a crash that killed one man. you can see that the car he was driving smashed into the back of a box truck. we don't know what led up to this crash or how long that section of montague

expressway will be closed. more than 60 seniors in oakley are staying another night at a hotel after evacuating their apartments yesterday. management said today that they're working to get everyone back home by late tomorrow or wednesday, but that may be overly optimistic. 44 units had to be evacuated after a clogged pipe sent sewage overflowing into vacant apartments near the elevator controls that knocked out the power in the elevator. oakley's mayor says once it's all repaired, agencies will still need to inspect and then give the all clear for the residents to get back in. that could mean even more time for everyone before they can go back. today, some residents return to pick up necessities like clothing and medication that they didn't have time to grab before being evacuated yesterday. he fixed it where i could go in and get my medication this morning. where yesterday they were saying, no, no, no, no, no. they did their job yesterday they went out of their way and they were just over apologetic for this situation. spokesperson for the apartment says all displaced residents are being put up in three nearby hotels free of

charge. management is also delivering meals, water and snacks to those seniors and they're offering them $300 gift cards to each household to cover the cost of any potentially spoiled food and other essentials. san jose police are investigating the city's 15th homicide of the year. a man shot and killed inside an apartment in south san jose. this happened on blossom river way near oak ridge mall yesterday afternoon. police say the man was shot at least once and he died. investigators aren't releasing the name of the victim until his family is notified. so far, we have no word on a motive or any suspects. amanda solano county prison has been captured after nearly two weeks on the run. authorities say james hsiung escaped from the delta conservation camp in solano county on may 13th. he was serving a sentence related to grand theft charges, weapon charges and parole violations after more than ten days on the run, police tracked him down in monterey over the weekend. he was taken to the soledad prison in monterey county, and he will be referred to the solano county

district attorney's for new charges. and take a look at this wildfire burning in san benito county broke out in a remote area near new idria on saturday. that's about 2.5 hours west from fresno. you can see there burnt grass brush. so far, cal fire says 70% of the fire has been contained. they say firefighters are now cooling hot spots securing fire lines as well. the cause of that fire is still under investigation. a day of remembrance as the bay area honors those who made the ultimate sacrifice this memorial day. the presidio is the oldest national cemetery on the west coast and the annual memorial day ceremony has a feeling of familiarity. a bagpipe played amazing grace color guard brought in the flags, and just as she's done for the last few years, speaker emerita nancy pelosi addressed the crowd at this event. she made a special mention about world war two veterans. she acknowledged that with every passing year, there are fewer of them. she recently met with a group of vets at the

french embassy in washington, d.c. they had ten veterans there. one was 104. he was from baltimore, so we had a lot in common to talk about 104. there were several 102, 97 and the rest all so proud, so patriotic. several people showed up to the ceremony with bouquets of flowers to lay near individual tombstones, and the remembrance in san francisco was just one of a number of memorial day events around the bay area. today. one bay area town did something a little different to remember those who fallen this year. here's nbc bay area's ian cull. at civic park in walnut creek, hundreds of veterans and civilians joined to remember family members and friends who died too young. after patriotic music in the national anthem, city leaders spoke about locals who died for their country. 32 men of our community lost their lives in world war 211. we lost

in korea, 17 we lost in vietnam and two we most recently lost in iraq and afghanistan. man. this year, walnut creek did something new by having council members read letters from military families in town about what this day means to them. and just eight days later, he was killed by a sniper's bullet. he was 26 years old. eric blahnik served in desert storm and says it was important to be here to think of the veterans, support them in that sense, kind of honor them. may they never be forgotten. just south san ramon held its event at memorial park. each veteran was asked not just to stand and be recognized, but to step forward when the song of their military branch was played . they were given a special commemorative coin, a token of a community's appreciation. we

reflect on on how fortunate we were to have our family members come home, but not but not all did. of course. the girl scouts provided flags for people like rebecca johnson to stick in the ground. the current service member planted hers with messages for loved ones, ensuring they'll never be forgotten. and then in afghanistan, there was an attack on an armored bus from our base that was taking soldiers and civilians and killed everyone instantly. and so since then, memorial day has even been more of more important to me. for all those attending memorial day means a whole lot more than barbecues and a three day weekend. it's a solemn day to remember those who protected america with their lives. ian cull nbc, bay area news. there was also a special ceremony today to honor fallen soldiers at the uss hornet sea, air and

space museum. there was a wreath laying, a squadron flyover, and a used military history book sale. we also heard from a retired u.s. navy rear admiral. okay, the excitement is mounting for the paris 2024 olympic games, and with just 60 days to go, the host city is in full prep mode for the 10 million visitors expected to descend on paris. and jessica is taking us on a tour de france. bonjour! we're now just 60 days away from the start of what france is promising, will be the most spectacular and the most sustainable games ever. the city of light is using existing or temporary facilities along its iconic landmarks like the eiffel tower as competition venues. there's actually only one sports facility built for the games, and it's the aquatic center in saint-denis. it's a densely populated neighborhood right in a working class area that's going to get to enjoy the flagship eco friendly venue. long after the games are done.

the low carbon center, made mostly of wood and recycled material, is modular, so it's able to go from 5000 seats to 2500 seats. it will also be one of france's largest urban solar farms, now it's here that will likely see team usa powerhouse water polo players danville's maggie steffens and san jose's jenna flynn fight to keep their olympic streak alive. and where we could witness an olympic first santa clara's bill, may would be the first man to compete in artistic swimming, fulfilling a lifelong dream for the 45 year old. the aquatic center, a legacy of the games and an investment in the future of saint-denis. love that preview, jess. thank you. so exciting. and our paris 2024 countdown continues after the break. up next, some star power backing team usa on their road to paris. he is a household name for hip hop lovers. you recognize him right there. flavor flav making a bay area connection in support of the u.s. women's water polo team, he talked to us about the new sponsorship. i'm chief

saying? always been a big fan of the olympics. meet the latest olympic hero. yeah, i mean, definitely not the hype man we ever expected. it's very surreal. we're really excited. we're super grateful for all flavor flav support. we caught up with flav also poolside, who talked about why he jumped on the water polo bandwagon again, because nobody's really sponsoring women's sports in the first place. you know, a lot of women's sports are being underlooked, you know what i'm saying? in the whole nine, it's now a mutual admiration society. he was really about supporting our story and trying to get more people to watch and more people in the stands, more eyes on the sport and the two are in touch. i just want to help people achieve their goals, just like i achieved a lot, a lot of minds. you know what i mean? so i know what it feels like to want to have a chance, you know what i'm saying? flav says he plans to go to paris and cheer the team on in person. hey, man, it makes me

feel like i. i got a purpose to serve. stephan says the team is happy to make a famous fan. his positive energy is definitely infectious. now flav, who, by the way, is in the rock and roll hall of fame, says he's in touch with the team about financial support and how to help out and get this even more social media. his tweet was noticed by taylor swift's entourage when the team, the entire water polo team and their staff was training in paris, she got them tickets to the eras tour. so they're doing well by that kind of relationship. i love that i also love the fact that you're on the flav right? well, we go back, we go back. so when the ladies do, well, they're all going to shake their booty. they're good. all right. that was awesome by the way. flavor flav true sports connoisseur across the board. so take a look. take a look at this. he was at the indy 500 yesterday doing what he does best playing hype man for indy

moon bay. morning temperatures beginning like this. we'll be able to handle this down to 50 in the peninsula. low 50s for the south bay, and pretty much the same thing here through the east bay, san francisco in the north bay. then as we roll through tomorrow, numbers right near average. so down here across the south bay, it's going to leave us at 75. in san jose, 77 in morgan hill. you're also looking very similar here through inland east bay. 76 walnut creek 74 pleasanton. warmest antioch 79 and cool by the bay 67. in oakland at the beaches. chilly 55 half moon bay, then out to san mateo 68. and you get down to redwood city in palo alto, some low 70s san francisco 59 in the outer sunset, and to downtown 62. a little bit of a breeze here out of the west at 20, so a little bit chilly there. once that wind kicks up. and for the north bay 78 here in napa. now as we move into the upcoming weekend. never too early to look ahead towards that saturday and sunday right? we get high pressure returning. it's going to keep it dry and

half of u.s. states. and they say the majority of those cases are children who have not been vaccinated. a health scare for boxer mike tyson. he suffered a medical emergency on a flight from miami to los angeles yesterday. tyson apparently became nauseous and dizzy 30 minutes before landing. when the plane did land, paramedics boarded to check him out. in a statement to nbc news, tyson's representatives say his sickness was caused by an ulcer flare up. tyson by the way, is currently training for a july match against vlogger turned boxer jake paul. we're also learning there's more drama in the miss usa pageant, the newly crowned miss usa says that she's been receiving death threats and hateful messages. savannah jankowitz of hawaii was crowned in a special ceremony earlier this month. she is replacing noelia voit after she announced her resignation. nbc news obtained a copy of voight's resignation letter, in which she accused the pageant ceo of creating a toxic work environment and failing to address a sexual harassment

incident. now, jankowitz says that she's been receiving hate and backlash online since taking over the crown. jankowitz will hold that title until a new winner is crowned in august. miss teen usa, by the way, also stepped down from her title this month. well, this memorial day, the nation's capital is making an effort to remember the women who died during war. you are looking at the only memorial dedicated to women along the national mall. there it is honors the women who served in vietnam. this morning, a bagpipe and wreath laying ceremony paid tribute to the eight military women, 59 civilian women killed during the vietnam war. people gathered to hear their stories there. the goal is to make sure the stories are passed on to future generations. in the past, it wasn't something that the government wanted to talk a lot about is women dying in war zones. and so you have to really dig up these stories. and when you find them, you got to share them. taking a closer look, their statue shows two women and a wounded male soldier. of the
