industry. san francisco addressing problems related to homelessness and drug use without involving police, meet the inspiring team making it all happen. >> now i have an opportunity to build up our community. from cbs news bay area, this is the evening edition. so how does a gun from a northern california sheriff's office end up being used in a murder thousands of miles away? >> good evening. i'm ryan yamamoto. >> i'm elizabeth cook. one way law enforcement works to protect and serve is by getting guns out of the hand of criminals, but we discovered thousands of guns once carried by officers are turning up at crime scenes each year. >> cbs news partnered with nonprofit newsrooms, the trace and reveal. we surveyed more than 200 police departments nationwide. most told us they sell or trade their used guns.

>> here's national investigative correspondent steven stock. >> you know, another family lost another child at the hands of a firearm that shouldn't even be on the streets. it shouldn't even be on the streets. >> candace leslie's only child died three years ago shot four times outside his apartment. >> we've desensitized to just another black child being murdered, yeah. it's just common. >> reporter: from the scene detectives gathered a gun involved in cameron's death, but police have made no arrest. >> i'm losing trust in the people who are supposed to protect and serve us. >> reporter: but what candace didn't know until we told her was that a weapon involved in her son's death here in indianapolis was a former police weapon from a sheriff's office more than 2,300 miles away. using public records cbs news traced a gun involved in

brown's death, a glock 21 handgun to, take sheriff's office in stanislaus county, california. >> there's no reason for police firearms to be in the hands of teenagers. >> i would say to cameron's mom i'm very sorry for your loss, but my organization had nothing to do with it. >> reporter: stanislaus county sheriff jeff dirksey told cbs news los angeles he makes no apologies his department sells used service weapons. >> whoever did this, if he didn't acquire that gun, he'll probably acquire another one. >> reporter: dirksey said he saved taxpayers about $25,000 last time they traded in its guns. the department updates their arsenal every seven to ten years. >> if i legally sold my old used patrol cars and somebody uses that in the commission of a crime, is that our responsibility? i would say no. >> reporter: his department is

more than one of 140 law enforcement agencies nationwide we found offloading their used weapons to gun stores. this is about 220 smith & wesson mmp 40cs that just came in as police trade-ins. >> reporter: those stores advertised gun's police history as a selling point. >> what you end up with are quality firearms in really good condition. >> reporter: during a 16 year time period ending in february 2022, the atf traced 52,529 former police service weapons to crime somewhere in america. on average, that's more than 3,200 guns every year, nine every day. >> it's good to know these things aren't going to end up someplace they shouldn't. >> reporter: this is what seattle's police department does with its uses guns. we recently watched as they melted 179 used service weapons. seattle changed its policy in 2016. >> it's not worth that risk. >> reporter: what's the worst thing in your mind that could happen if a police gun got in

the wrong hands? >> well, it could be used in a criminal act, shooting, killing somebody or even killing an officer. >> as a police chief, i don't want any weapon that we owned to end up being used violently against another person in our country. >> reporter: the indianapolis police chief overseeing the investigation of cameron brown's shooting told us his department does trade in its guns. you'd be open to stopping that practice? >> i'd have to see. the taxpayers pay for these things. >> reporter: does it feel like cameron's just a statistic? >> i think it may feel like just a statistic to those handling his case, but to me, no. i feel that number all the way in my heart. >> reporter: he's your boy. >> yeah. and he's gone too soon. >> and the atf told cbs news the practice of trading and selling old weapons is legal. in fact, congress would have to

change the law. the white house would not comment in questions about changes to policy or the law. coming up later oracle see we'll get thoughts on departments that do sell or trade. police in the east bay chased this white car across several counties this afternoon, including through lafayette, walnut creek and martinez. our chopper was overhead as the driver swerved between traffic on highway 4 and then trying to escape on surface streets. there is noticeable damage to the back of the vehicle and it appeared chp tried to use spike strips at one point but to no avail. the driver eventually got onto interstate 80 before fog blocked our view from the chopper, no word from police on any arrests. i'm anne makovec following the latest in the college campus protests starting with major fallout in the north bay. the president of sonoma state university is on leave now

following an agreement he made with pro palestinian protesters on campus. mike lee sent a campus-wide email calling for clarity in the university's investments and a ceasefire. csu chancellors say mike lee made the announcement without approval and the board is reviewing the situation. lee sent out a statement reiterating that everyone should insure that sonoma state is a safe and inclusive place for all and then said, "i stand by that statement. i realize now that my message has caused more fear, anxiety, and uncertainty. that was not my intent." the california legislative jewish caucus supports the suspension. they say lee's actions were totally unacceptable and evidence that he is unfit to lead one of our great state institutions. meantime the uc board of regents continues to weigh whether to prohibit employees from posting their personal opinions on campus web pages. they postponed a vote for a third time today, could be taken up today at their july meeting. after things blew up

yesterday at uc irvine, classes were held remotely today. 50 pro palestinian demonstrators were arrested on campus while rallying near an encampment. most of those protesters were arrested after failing to disperse when police gave the order. a few were arrested for trespassing, including several members of the university faculty. >> we cannot have a genocidal foreign policy in a democracy. these young people are going to have to be the ones to pay the price for these horrible decisions. >> there was no violence. there was no reason for police presence. there was just a group of students standing there and protesting peacefully. there was no reason for this to happen. >> the situation on the uc irvine campus intensified over the past week after some of the protesting students received suspension notices from the university, including some who were involved with negotiations with administrators. >> anne, thank you. governor gavin newsom was in vatican city today to speak in front of pope francis and

other world leaders at the climate summit. newsom spoke about success says california has seen in reducing carbon emissions, including the state's cap and trade program and pivot toward clean energy. he also called the climate crisis a fossil fuel crisis. >> the polluted heart of the climate crisis are these fossil fuel companies that have been lying to us, that have been deceiving us. they've known the science. they've denied the science. they've delayed advancement. >> newsom also took shots at republican presidential candidate donald trump saying his campaign would roll back 50 years of environmental progress if elected. this week top federal officials warning that bad actors will use artificial intelligence to try to influence u.s. elections. >> the justice department recognizes the urgency of these threats and we are prepared to confront them. >> coming up at 5:30, we'll speak to a former fbi agents

about the dangers posed by a.i. and why homeland security officials say they're better prepared than ever to handle potential threats. autonomous car company cruise reportedly reached a settlement by a woman who was struck and dragged by one of its robotaxis last october in san francisco. bloomberg first reported the settlement estimated to be between 8 to $12 million. the california dmv suspended the company's driverless taxi license in the city. shortly after that cruise ceased all its driverless operations. gm, which owns cruise, has not commented on the settlement. california cities could soon be allowed more oversight over driverless cars. senate bill 915 would allow local counties and cities to cap the number of driverless vehicles on the road. that bill, if passed, would also charge service fees and hold companies financially responsible for safety issues. the bill's author says safety has to be at the forefront in rolling out

new technologies. another attempt to allow access to some psychedelics in california has fizzled out at the state capitol. the bill from san francisco senator scott wiener would have created guidelines for psychedelic-assisted therapy and who can become licensed to assist patients. the bill was placed in the suspended file. that means democrats leading the senate appropriations committee were able to kill the bill without bringing it to a vote. the justice department has formally moved to reclassify marijuana as lower risk. for more than 50 years weed has been category kbcwed as a scheduled 1 substance. that classification is shared by drugs like heroin and ecstasy. instead pot would be moved to a schedule 3 controlled substance along drugs like ketamine and anabolic steroids. the dea will now take public comment on that proposal. still ahead, it's been one year since san francisco launched a new team hoping to address problems without involving law enforcement. we'll meet up with team

members to see how it's going. >> i remember looking at it like give them something that's more of me like giving them what i owe them. a major but brief milestone on wall street, what sparked the dow to reach 40,000 today. i know i'm putting the paint to the canvas as a testament to what's really going on. >> how one young entrepreneur is looking to rebuild the image of san francisco one stitch at a time. the fog has been rolling back in already this afternoon swallowing up our salesforce tower camera over the last hour or so. by tomorrow morning that fog is going to be widespread across the entire bay area. we'll track that and look ahead to the weekend coming up in first alert weather.

as they wait for the supreme court to rule that they can clear homeless encampments

without providing an alternative place to go, san francisco mayor london breed is touting the city's so-called heart program which serves as an alternative nonemergency for homeless calls a success. >> today i joined this team under the umbrella of public service contractor urban alchemy, responding to low level 911 and 311 calls with just a little bit of heart. kenneth franklin has been given a second chance at life and he's using it to give others a second chance, too. >> repaying back my debt to society, right? i never look at it as me giving someone something. it's more of me giving them what i owe them. >> reporter: that debt comes from serving time behind bars

facing 59 months for gang activity, he was released after 16 years. today he's using that experience to offer a helping hand to people experiencing homelessness in san francisco. >> i was the person destroying our community and now i have the opportunity to build up our community and that's my mission, to build up the community. >> reporter: he's doing that by giving people a little bit of heart. as part of the homeless engagement assistance response team, they're an alternative to police that has proved its worth in its very first year by responding to thousands of nonemergent calls that can take police days or even weeks to get to. >> it helps the police department to focus on things more intense. we get more of those because normally nine times out of ten it's someone that's homeless, right, and we have that factor where we are more relatable. it's more of a

calmer situation when we do approach. >> reporter: today he uses that experience to offer a helping hand to people experiencing homelessness. he responds to a trespassing call in soma made by a resident who called the nonemergency police line, but instead of an armed officer, kenneth responds with his partner rachel armed only with narcan, snacks, and compassion and the director of emergency management says it's one of the most successful response teams in the city, having responded to over 14,000 calls in the last year. >> they filled a gap that we didn't have before people to be able to answer these particular level what we could consider, you know, low priority calls. >> reporter: she's heard criticism over city spending on the handful of pricey response programs that according to a 2023 city audit don't always fulfill their promised metrics but says each cater to a specific need for people who continue to face homelessness, substance abuse, and mental illness, but for kenneth it's a cycle that's proving its effectiveness that a little heart goes a long way.

>> understanding in fixing myself i can start understanding my value. because i understand my worth, i can project that onto others like the love that i have for myself, i can show you i love myself. so i can show you that i love you, why you should love you and this is why i do the work i do. >> i have some numbers for you. in the year this program has been around, they've responded to 80% of 911 or 311 calls related to unhoused people and blocked sidewalks. that's just a fraction of the several hundred thousand 911 calls the city got in 2023, but in that time this team has place placed 144 people in shelter and the goal is to continue and grow this program in the years ahead. >> thank you. pickleball players in san francisco may soon need to put down a $5 deposit to grab a court, as the city's parks and reaction commission approved an

initiative that would require a $5 hole fee. the rule still needs final approval from the board of supervisors. cities across the bay area are celebrating bike to wherever day. it used to be called bike to workday. we caught up with participants from berkeley, san francisco, and san jose as they kicked off their day with a bike ride. the event encourages folks who typically drive to break out that bike. >> we're demonstrating how fun it is to ride your bike around berkeley and showing off some of the protected bike lanes that we've been putting in over the past two years. >> very curious, especially not the shy type. the contra costa county fair now underway. you'll find a whole barnyard of animals, including this cow, pig, sheep along with music, food and more fun. the fair runs into this sunday over in antioch, i believe. a lot of people go to the fair, paul to, see the

animals. some people go to ride the rides. >> see food on the stick. >> i go there for the food on the stick and the fried stuff and funnel cakes and turkey legs, total fried food. >> what's your favorite fried things? >> deep fried twinkies and oreos. >> the filling melts a little bit. >> you feel it the next day, but at the time it's so good. >> not all superheroes wear capes, right? >> exactly. >> you got to take one for the team. >> the tummy does not like it. >> stomach, going to do things to you. hang in there, buddy. it's going to be warm in antioch. looks like pretty nice weather for the weekend, very consistent weather. what we've had all week is likely what we'll have through the weekend and even into early next week with a few subtle changes monday and tuesday. there is the fog swallowing up the tops of all the skyscrapers

downtown, typical mayweather pattern continuing for most of the bay area except along the coast where it's morning and afternoon fog and evening fog and nighttime fog continuing. temperatures run close to normal through the weekends. the weekend is more of this, pretty much copy and paste forecast friday, saturday and sunday and then a few changes early next week. let's talk about what things look like outside now in san jose, 74 degrees, today's normal high temperature, 58 in san francisco. across the bay with sunshine peeking through 64 degrees in oakland, mid- to upper 60s and low 70s after warming up mostly to the 70s inland earlier. the fog will spread back out. it's going to be well into the inland valleys by early tomorrow morning, but it won't take long to retreat from the inland locations to around the bay mid to late morning and back to along the coast towards lunchtime.

temperatures tonight not a lot of variation, low to mid-50s by early tomorrow morning. everybody is within 2 or 3 degrees on either side of average for this time of year. we'll look at our forecast high temperatures which are also going to be very close to average, a few degrees above in san jose, upper 70s, 77 in los gatos, inland in the east bay temperatures topping out in the upper 70s, a few low 80s with mid-70s for fremont and redwood city at 75 degrees. we'll say 60 degrees for half moon bay, takes a little sunshine to peek through the clouds to break out of the upper 50s, but you've got a chance tomorrow, mid- to upper 60s and low 70s for san francisco and oakland and lower 70s for the north bay, not as warm as the santa clara valley or inland in the east bay because the fog hangs on a bit longer and the onshore breeze is not as blocked by the terrain going into the north bay valleys. the wind gusts

pick up by tomorrow afternoon. temperatures will be affected by the wind and the onshore breeze bringing high temperatures back down to the 60s for evening hours with the winds strongest at 25 to 30 miles an hour late in the day tomorrow. the weekend, cool and cloudy, some sunshine breaking through mid to late morning even in san francisco, temperatures in the 50s. it's not going to dissuade people from wearing whatever they are going to wear or not wear, as the case may be. here's the change monday and tuesday, a little baby warm-up for inland parts of the bay area, low 80s monday and tuesday and almost normal temperatures wednesday and thursday. the baby warm-up is an infant warmup around the bay, just a degree or two monday and tuesday and the back and forth fog pattern and along the coast it's just going to be fog in place, may gray not going anywhere heading into the last full week of may with

temperatures maybe struggling up to just above 60 degrees monday and tuesday while inland spots are in the 80s, wide range in temperatures. >> thank you. typical bay area. up next, every 11 minutes someone dies by suicide in the u.s., how the newly launched 988 text line is already helping people dealing with a mental crisis. >> i think it's important to talk to somebody about your feelings, just anybody really and especially someone who is trained. a warning from cybersecurity experts, how foreign actors could use artificial intelligence to

today is mental health action day, a day not just to build awareness, but to actually do something to improve mental health. >> one major step towards that has been the launch of 988 which provides free and confidential support for suicide prevention.

>> our reporter tom hanson takes us inside a texas 988 call center. >> there's just some times where you're stuck at 3:00 a.m. and you can't go to sleep because of this raging storm in your head and you're in a very dark place. >> reporter: matthew smith has been in that dark place for a long time. >> i was having an anxiety attack. >> reporter: he recalls one moment where he knew he needed to talk to someone and called 988. >> i was feeling lots of crawling sensations through my face and feeling like this feeling would never go away. i called them and they were just kind of asking me like to stop and breathe. >> reporter: on the other end of the line he reached a crisis counselor like this one. >> take some deep breaths with me. >> reporter: 988 is an easy to remember three-digit number. >> one, two, three, deep breath in. >> reporter: think of it like 911 but for mental health. >> we did the breathing thing

and even though you can do that yourself, it's helpful to kind of have a person assist you with that. >> reporter: every 11 minutes someone dies by suicide in the u.s. and one in five americans 18 and older struggle with a mental illness according to the cdc. 988 is for anyone who needs to talk. >> thank you for calling lifeline. my name is grace. can i have your name, please? you don't have to be actively in a crisis to call 988. we're also here to provide resources to those individuals who may have not reached a crisis state at this moment. >> reporter: as matthew works towards recovery, he says knowing there's help on the other side of the line gives him hope. >> i think it's important to talk to somebody about your feelings, just anybody really and especially someone who is trained. >> reporter: a light in the darkness that's just a call or text away. >> matthew says music is another way he does heal. >> if you're ever feeling
