5:32 pm
asked us to protect her identity. the robber stole her personal belongings and her car, but they took something much greater, her shot at a normal college life. >> i feel like when i'm walking the streets, i'm always scared, always looking around. when i get out of my car, i'm running to my car and locking it immediately. i feel it's not really a sustainable lifestyle anymore. >> reporter: it isn't a concern for just students. parents like sondra who has twin boys at cal took matters into their own hand. >> the fact is if they aren't going to act despite repeated inquiries from parents and students to take more substantial action, then we're going to do what needs to be done to keep our families safe. >> reporter: parent group safe bears raised $40,000 to hire these private security guards to patrol near campus housing on bikes and on foot for the next few weeks. after that the hope is that the university will take over. >> we want to, frankly, turn up

police officers. i'm anne makovec with new information on a deadly shootout in santa rosa that also left ate sheriff's deputy in critical condition. it happened early monday morning outside la hacienda del toro restaurant and nightclub. the sonoma county sheriff's deputies responded to a report of a person waving around a rifle. according to a new report from santa rosa police, that person later identified as jose cervantes drove off as deputies arrived. the chase was on and at some point deputies say cervantes got out of his car and started shooting at them with an ak-47-style rifle. deputies returned fire and we spoke with one of the neighbors who heard this. >> it was more semiautomatic bang, bang, bang, bang like rounds, multiple rounds, and then return fire in the same rhythm. so you knew it was a gunfight. >> after the first shootout police say cervantes got back into his car, drove off, then crashed into this fence and head on with one of their
5:35 pm
patrol vehicles before another deputy fired several shots at him. he was pronounced dead at the scene. today's report suggests it might have been the car crash that killed him, although he was shot several times. police released new photos of some of the many bullet holes in the sheriff's patrol cars. cervantes fired a minimum of 50 rounds. four deputies were injured by either bullets or shrapnel, one hit in the leg, one in the hand. a san jose man is behind bars on $1 million bail accused of repeatedly stealing from donation boxes at local churches and temples. the 33-year-old was arrested at a church this past weekend. he's suspected in at least seven burglaries targeting churches and temples dating back to december. he's also charged with assaulting a police officer after one burglary at a hindu temple.

the years long battle over anchor-outs in richardson bay has finally ended. for years people anchored their boats in sausalito, but it was having a big impact on the local environment. so the county has been trying to find somewhere else for those people to live. our chopper was over richardson bay today. those anchor outs are now almost completely gone. a small number of vessels are allowed to remain anchored there for at least the next 2 1/2 years if they are deemed sea worthy. up next, an emerging threat along a bay area coast, the community begging for help after all the storms. >> they're protecting themselves by putting all the signs up, but it's not protecti

5:39 pm
beach is coming from. it's about 2 1/2 miles long and is sitting about a mile and a half offshore. they do not think it is a crude spill. even though tar blobs have already started washing ashore, no offshore platforms have reported spills or leaks and the slick isn't growing. the coast guard is using booms to try to contain it while they search for the source. the recent storms that battered the bay area have taken the erosion problem near half moon bay from bad to worse. >> the problem is on mor ata road along the coast. >> people say the latest move to address it could just make things worse. >> reporter: residents and business owners here are no stranger to the forward of the ocean, but recent storms have caused serious damage to their one main road and they're begging officials for a permanent solution. >> you feel the spray. this is the place right here where it does come over. >> reporter: homes and
5:40 pm
businesses like barbara riching's historic jazz club on marata road in half moon bay are just one big wave away they say from irreparable damage. >> we've had storms, you know, forever. it's just a typical thing. so that's why every year they need to come out and refortify it. >> reporter: a series of strong storms have caused erosion to their single road, worsening with each change of the tide. this week san mateo county took action by turning the road into a one-way to make room for frequent pedestrians, but barbara and neighbor linda patterson say it's not only a temporary fix, but a safety hazard. >> these are our tax dollars at work and it's not solving anything. it's kind of like the band-aid. it's like we've called out this problem, so now they're protecting themselves by putting all these signs up, but it's not protecting the people. >> reporter: the pair have a long history on the coastal road, each dating back to at
5:41 pm
least the '80s. they say the problems began when a harbor was built in the '50s and neglect to upkeep the riprap protecting from erosion has led to a more serious situation. one controversial solution they say could be installing a seawall. residents of a nearby condo complex have sued the california coastal commission for restricting the structure that would protect seaside buildings. the implications could span from san diego up to the coast of oregon, but for marata road they need a more immediate solution. >> they just assume that the powers that be are doing something. we all do, you know, and nothing happens and you feel defeated and if this ever comes and the ocean recedes and you find of forget it and the winters come again and it's all over again and you're beating yourself up because you just can't seem to do anything. you feel helpless. >> reporter: today that action is seen in the form of
5:42 pm
restriping and signage, but that's no match for the ocean's impact for barbara and her beloved jazz bar. >> if they're not going to maintain the road, i can't keep doing this. that's just cut and dry. i cannot do this anymore. it's not sustainable. >> and the county says they don't know how long that road will stay closed. they're planning to give an update at a community meeting sometime next month. ahead in sports, steph curry had everyone holding their breath thursday night, the latest on his ankle injury. plus we're back into the thick of conference basketball tournaments before march madness. we introduce you

5:46 pm
>> making pizza. >> she can do blue squares now. >> no clue. let's look at today as it was fantastic across the bay area today, that and it's friday. we've had blue skies overhead and temperatures did respond, up to 70 degrees in san jose, most of the bay area in the mid- to upper 60s. along the coast close to average for early march, upper 50s for half moon bay, but heading into the weekend it's a weekend in 2024 and the rules are it has to rain. there's a chance of light rain showers saturday morning. that will be followed up by a different system that's a bit stronger. somebody's microphone is still open, just a heads up about that while i'm talking here. every once in a while live tv can catch you. a better rain chance is in the forecast sunday afternoon. that will penetrate deeper into the bay area. the first one, watch what happens to it from 7:00 saturday morning to noon. it kind of falls apart. the best chance of more than a trace of rain is for the north bay, down
5:47 pm
to a couple leftover sprinkles by midday to early afternoon and even breaks in the cloud cover saturday afternoon. temperatures will be a little below normal because we'll see more clouds than sunshine. the next round of rain is moving in by late morning on sunday and that's going to spread across more of the bay area sunday afternoon continuing sunday evening and overnight. total rain from both systems is going to be modest. we're talking about less than a half inch on the higher end of the scale for the north bay, generally about a quarter inch or so total rainfall again combining both of those systems. for the southern half of the bay area, it's going to be about a 0.1-inch to a quarter inch and santa cruz mountains in similar territory, not really maximizing the potential of rain because the trajectory of the system coming from the northwest instead of oriented perpendicular to the coastline. in terms of snow, there is a winter storm watch in effect for the sierra from sunday through tuesday. i think the heavier snow will add up with the system a little farther down the line, monday night into tuesday. that's when they could have about a foot of
5:48 pm
total snow, where the majority of the snowfall accumulations will occur. that's going to be another rainmaker for the bay area. spotty shower saturday, better chance of rain late sunday into sunday night and the best chance of rain is monday night into tuesday and then we dry out wednesday and thursday and friday and likely for st. patrick's day weekend as well. temperatures are going to warm up, too of tonight we drop down to near average low temperatures, in the 40s across the entire bay area. with the clouds overhead tomorrow we'll be running a few degrees below average, mid-60s for san jose, low 60s in the santa clara valley for the warm spots and low 60s inland in the east bay. otherwise around 60 degrees at best, only upper 50s along the coast of half moon bay, falling short of 60 degrees in san francisco. in the north bay because you have the best chance of rain, your temperatures will be more limited topping out mostly in the upper 50s saturday afternoon with similar temperatures for everybody sunday. we have warmer weather down the line. look at the
5:49 pm
ten-day temperature outlook for san jose. there is the roller coaster ride, the downside talking upper 70s, close to 80 degrees by next friday and into st. patrick's day weekend. we have to get through the unsettled rather cool weekend first. here's the seven-day forecast which does include our chances of rain over the weekend and a little dry break for most of monday for the last batch of rain moving in monday night into tuesday and then three straight dry days wednesday and thursday and friday. this is going to end up being probably a six or seven-day stretch of dry weather and temperatures really warm up, low to mid-70s for most of the bay area, but the end of next week we'll have to split the seven-day forecast into our three different microclimates because there will be more variation in temperatures once the inland spots start to warm up. we have some breaking news from the east bay. our chopper is over the scene of a nasty collision involving an ac transit bus. this is happening in oakland. it's left two people in critical condition. wow.
5:50 pm
>> look at the aftermath of that. this is at 54th and international boulevard. the force of the impact doing just severe damage to that blue car. the front of it is completely mangled and the front of the ac transit bus also banged up. emergency crews still on the scene. a total of 13 people were injured because of this crash, including those two critically hurt, no word yet on what caused it. >> just a horrific scene in oakland now. the roadway is blocked for the investigation. so avoid the area of 54th and international. we'll have more information as we get it in. time to check on what's ahead at 6:00 and switch over to juliette. >> thank you. we'll certainly follow that and other news. a bad week for united airlines just got worse. one day after a tire blew off a plane, a plane leaving sfo was forced to make another emergency landing. so what went wrong with a flight to mexico? sparks fly as burglars try to drag a stolen safe from a
