track of it all. new, the fight over recalling alameda county leader. community leaders and families of crime victims are plotting their next steps to try to remove price from office. her supporters showed up to defend her. a young mother of a man who died showed up. >> this is my kid. i am sorry i am speaking out, my truth, about my situation. >> reporter: an emotional mom spoke during the q&apportion q&a portion of town hall. her 22-year-old son was killed by a stray bullet inside of an oakland art gallery in 2016. the intended target was shot multiple times and killed nearby. the suspect was charged for both murders under the

previous da in alameda county. just last week at a sentencing hearing, price's office made a deal with the shooter for voluntary manslaughter of the intended target. the murder charge against her son was dropped all together. >> we would expect more empathy and more concern for mothers who have had to put their children in the ground at 22 years of age. innocent victim. >> reporter: she said she was told price's office did not think they could win the case if it went to trial. >> i work hard and why should i have to live with the fact that this person will not be held accountable for his choices. >> she shared the story for the crowd including price supporters who at times interrupted as tensions rose. >> i am not trying to change your mind but you need to hear the truth as well. >> reporter: it comes after the da held a rally with her supporters. she pushed back against criticism that she is

soft on crime. >> we know that this recall is not about public safety. we have their campaign plan. this campaign plan says that they are concerned with the value of their portfolios. real estate developers. there is nobody in here, there is nobody that comes through our office that is a real estate portfolio. >> she referenced a fundraising booklet saying businesses have seen negative impacts to property values as well as personal safety of their employees and their families. the recall campaign leader. >> it clearly says it is a draft that is number one. you know, 13 pages long but you go to page 8 or 9 and picked out one sentence. >> it is all public safety f. she can do her job and keep people safe and performing as a da i don't think we need to come to this stage. >> reporter: they collected more than 80,000 signatures in the last five weeks. needs 30,000 more. it plans to turn

been able to win the argument since she has taken office? >> meanwhile, price has announced tonight the charges she is filing in the shooting death of former police officer. he was killed in oakland in november of 2021 while working as a security guard for a tv news crew in oakland the two suspects in custody will face first-degree murder charges with arming enhancements. that can add an extra year to a 25-life sentence if convicted. his wife, virginia, told us price declined to file special circumstance charges that could of lead to life without parole. we also separately asked price to comment on this case, again, we did not hear a response. oakland has not had a police chief since february. tonight, the mayor's office said it just received a list of candidates from the police commission. the mayor's office did not give us the names of the finalist but told us the mayor can choose the chief through that list or request a new one. we know fired police

chief, armstrong, and retired police chief were among the candidates that the commissioner was considering. we don't know who made the final cut. in san francisco, protesters rallied against charges that 80 people were filed for blocking traffic on the bay bridge during a pro gaza protest t. happened last month in the city. demonstrators stalled bridge traffic for hours and delayed organs that were in transit for transplant. today, hundreds of people gathered outside of the hall of justice calling on the da to drop the charges. >> i feel that what they were participating in as protesters was extremely necessary. the situation in gaza was, you know, very dire. and today it is even more dire. >> jenkins sent us a statement saying free speech can not compromise public safety. dozens of more demonstrators are expected to be arraigned throughout the week. a bay area woman missing for two weeks. tonight, the police say the former rock star

she was dating isn't making their job any easier. it looks like a scene from "the end of the world" it is happening right now at the top of the world. you heard of a partridge in a pear tree but an owl in a christmas tree?

look mom, i found one. oh, yeah, you did. but we need an atm from our bank unless you want to spend a small fortune in fees. uh, no, thank you. banking with us means more fee-free atms than the two largest us banks combined. well, that would be convenient but there is no b-m-o here. ah, you can just call us bee-mo, and there is now. you know what else is convenient? mobile banking that makes it easy to track your goals and manage your money get out of town. but we... just got here. when a bank helps you get and stay ahead. that's the bmo effect. ♪ bmo ♪

the rain is going to continue. showers are likely as we head through the rest of tonight and during the day on tuesday and then next wave of heavier rain moves in tuesday night into wednesday. eventually the forecast does dry out beginning thursday, especially in the afternoon. showers becoming fewer and farther between. then the sunshine returns for the end of the workweek heading into christmas weekend. checking out the first alert doppler. the loop, continuing to make its way to the northeast. more showers lining up off shore. continuing to move in heading through the night. future cast shows the off and on nature of the showers heading towards tomorrow morning. even in a break for the showers for the morning commute, the roads will be wet. allowing for extra time, extra stopping distance as well. staying in this off and on pattern heading through the day on tuesday. then, the rain getting heavier, steadier, heading through tuesday evening and especially tuesday night into early wednesday. band of heavier rain is when we will add up the most significant amount of rainfall. the

question is, does it shape up exactly like this? the storm system causing it could cause a problem to the west. if we are going to see any flooding threat that is when it will occur. i don't think it will be a threat. but it will be from anything clogged from leaves. you can see the rain tapering off on thursday, off and on showers through the rest of the day. how much more rain? 1-3 inches of total rainfall on top of what we picked up. the rain shadowed spots, one inches, higher elevation in the north bay, santa cruz range, closer to the 2-3 inch ranch. the tropical nature of the moisture headed in. temperatures remaining almost steady since the sun went downright around 60 degrees. we will not drop much through the rest of tonight leveling off in the middle 50s by tomorrow morning. the amount of humidity in the air does not allow the atmosphere to cool off. the

temperatures tomorrow n between showers, are going to warm up to 6 or 7 degrees above average, not seeing a lot of sunshine. the temperatures climbing up into the middle portion ever the 60s around san jose. pretty much across the entire bay area. temperatures topping out around 60 degrees for half moon bay. san francisco, oakland, cooler for the north bay. the temperatures climbing up to around 60 degrees. keep in mind our average highs are in the upper 50s. so, this time of the year it does represent a departure from normal topping out around 60 degrees. a quick check of the dog watching forecast, added the dog walker forecast because we had so many festive dogs sent to us including roscoe who will not get out to show off the santa hat unless he wants it to get wet. more shower activity and the cooler temperatures topping out around 60 degrees. there will not be much difference in temperatures

from spot to spot. let's look at the seven-day forecast. we don't have to show you the difference between the bay and coastal. everybody has the same forecast. the temperatures will be within five degrees of each other for the entire bay area. everyone has the same rain chances, showers on and off tomorrow. heavy on wednesday, tapering off to lighter showers and drying out hitting the end of the workweek. seeing plenty of sunshine for christmas weekend and christmas day itself. the temperatures returning to closer to normal but pleasantly cool in the upper 50s to around 60 degrees for the holiday. >> i had the blow-dryer ready for after the dog walk today. >> that is a good idea. leave a towel ready. >> yes. will do. paul, thank you. christmas is a week away. one charity is making a last minute push to make sure every kid on its list has a present to open. they give out thousands of gift bags to local families every year. with the give away set for saturday they
