that for anyone. >> reporter: she and long time customers described james as a protecter and a kind man. >> he was one of those guys who would, you know, like, give you anything if you need anything. >> james is a good person, good for the community. this guy helped everybody and took care of everybody here. >> he was a nice man. giant man. pretty tall. he would talk to everyone that came in. >> reporter: criminals have repeatedly targeted 7-elevens in oakland. on monday, investigators say someone shot and kill aid man pumping gas at the international boulevard store. two weeks ago, witnesses say eight gunmen, some with extended magazines, robbed a cigarette delivery delivery driver and security guard in front of the grand avenue 7-eleven. and a few years ago another 7-eleven was robbed of cash and cigarettes. snow says her mother julie died ten
11:07 pm
months ago. she has few family members left. she wants justice. >> she died four days before my birthday. and i just found out from my little brother that my dad died. >> reporter: investigators have surveillance footage of the killing, but so far no arrests. they did not release any suspect information. in contra costa county, pleasant hills' police chief is defending his decision to leave a shooting suspect alone in his home for 18 hours. the suspect is a former pittsburgh police officer. john ramos has the story. >> reporter: the man living in the house behind me had already shot his wife and ended up shooting multiple rounds at a swat team. so neighbors here are wondering how he wasn't considered a threat to the public by the police. on saturday morning, there were lots of police at the home on cleopatra drive, just like there were on thursday at 7:00
11:08 pm
a.m. after a woman was shot by her husband when she tried to enter the back door of the house. her injuries were minor, but police tried to get the man to come out. he'd been posting videos to social media wearing a flak vest and holding an assault rifle and the message anyone trying to break into my home is going to be killed, and i will have no remorse because i did a good thing to rid evil. but at around 11:30 p.m. thursday night, with the suspect still inside, the swat team packed up and left. a news release said despitehe fact that his posts suggested he might be suicidal, circumstances suggested that he was quote, not an immediate threat to the general public. police chief scott vermilion says it was his decision. >> i believe i made the right decision. having said that, the factors changed, and my decision to do that, eventually
11:09 pm
it really didn't work. for that i'm accountable. >> reporter: vermilion said he believed the suspect had a grudge against police, and by leaving, they'd deescalate the situation. >> i believed there would be a cooling off period, and he would not escalate. in fact, he did the opposite. >> reporter: the chief says some officers remained in the neighborhood in unmarked vehicles watching the house. but at 5:30 p.m. friday night, 18 hours later, the swat team returned after the suspect's angry posts continued, and he ended up firing some 30 rounds at their armored vehicle. finally at 8:00 saturday morning, he surrendered. peter shears lives in the neighborhood and couldn't figure out why the street had suddenly become reopened. >> that was weird to me too, you know? i didn't understand it. i thought maybe he escaped the house or something. but he was still in the house. >> reporter: ed george was helping a friend move out of a home next door while the suspect was still in the house. >> so my concern is if he's
11:10 pm
still there and there's no police presence around, he could run and become a fugitive and endanger someone else's life. to me that's endangering the public. >> reporter: as for shears, he thinks the fact that the suspect was a former cop played a major role in how the situation was handled. >> i think if it was a black guy, he was dead by now for sure. sounds racist, but that's the way it is. do you understand the perception of a lot of people in the bay area, they'll look at this and say the police just walked away from an armed suspect who was a former police officer? >> yeah, i absolutely do understand that. i made those decisions for the reasons i've stated. at the end, it ended peacefully, and nobody got hurt. that's the best resolution we could have asked for. >> reporter: still, the police chief says he considers this a learning point for the next time something like this should occur. >> the suspect faces a charge of attack with a deadly weapon on his wife as well as multiple
11:11 pm
counts of attempted homicide of a police officer. meanwhile, the city of oakland is working hard to make one street safer. community members and volunteers gathered this morning for a community clean up. this was in the area of alameda avenue. it comes after the city cleared out all the rvs parked there in october. this is by the home depot on high street. today they removed graffiti, picked up trash, and pulled some weeds. >> our management team came out and did a closure, clean up and closure of the area. and now we're working with neighbors to provide ongoing clean ups and sustainability for the corridor. we probably have 250 bags of debris we cleaned up from the home depot entrance to the fruitvale bridge. >> they hope to continue the clean ups on a monthly basis. their next event is set for

11:15 pm
the area, you can't help but wonder are they going to put it out in time or is it going to grow? but we know in december there will be fire, so we have to be vigilant. >> right now there's no containment. a red flag warning is currently in effect in the area. no red flag warning over here, but a cold advisory maybe because it is freezing! >> it is. in some spots literally. north bay valleys got down to 32 this morning in santa rosa. we're very likely going to do that again. a clear view from the top of the mark hopkins hotel. but looking ahead to tomorrow morning, you pick out your part of the bay on here. then i'll spotlight the deep pools of blue. the interior valleys, central valley into sonoma county and napa. that's where we have a
11:16 pm
frost advisory for tomorrow. good news is this might be the last one for a little while. we'll get a subtle warming trend on the morning lows. tomorrow is even a couple of degrees warmer than today, but it's still close enough. you probably won't notice a lot of difference. that system will be interesting for saturday's rain. we'll talk about the difficulties of the forecast for the next chance of rain on saturday in one moment. these are tomorrow's daytime highs. you get a pretty afternoon. then a cold morning in the low 60s. these numbers are a little above average for this time of year. before we get to saturday's rain, there's one other thing we need to discuss. there will be a bit of an increase in the potential for fog again on tuesday. then on tuesday morning something else develops. a different looking cloud. central valley fills. i want to brighten this and come in for a closer look at the
11:17 pm
bay. if you look inside some of the low spots, we're developing low stratus clouds. there's the tri-valley, santa clara valley, the entire bay and north bay valleys as well. this is what it looks like when we develop radiation fog. it's not like the normal stuff we get in the summer that's relatively high. this develops in the bay near the ground, and can usually be a bigger issue for fog. so tuesday morning, early heads up on that. we had quite a fog issue last week. now the rain. we look at the storm track, and you can see the systems for now want nothing to do with us. then the next line develops. another cut off low develops right back there. see it? sits there and spins for a few days. this is what the season has been like for us so far. they're difficult to forecast because they're not being
11:18 pm
pushed along by the storm track. they're cut off from the jet stream and just sit out there and wobble. so we have to look at it this in a slightly different way. this is one model's depiction of what it will look like. but the best way to forecast a low like this is use the ensembles that gives the consensus in different forecast runs. even though the singular model we looked at where we could see it spinning didn't think the system would come on shore for the weekend, the ensembles do. doesn't look like major amounts of rain out of this. the totals have been going up and down all day. we're not going to get too bogged down in how much rain we'll get. we'll just say a chance of rain. probably not major, but chance of rain saturday into sunday. seven-day forecast showing no big differences in the daytime highs. we looked at the long range storm track in the last newscast at 6:00 where you
11:19 pm
might have been hearing as we get towards christmas, it looks like the jet stream is going to start orienting itself in a much more el nino way, and we could be looking at more widespread rain. but that's two weeks down the road. too early for that. andrea, over to you. roughly 3,000 people turned out in san francisco for the 21st annual peril lantern festival. awards were given out for the best lantern creators. it's a tradition from the philippines to honor ancestors. it celebrates love and hope and putting light over darkness. >> whether or not you were born in the philippines or you grew up here, we love christmas, and it's so important for us to come together and be able to preserve our culture. >> tonight's theme was breaking dawn, focused on illuminating mental health. organizers see
