10:02 am
coliseum. yeah. a tentative one kron four's reyna harvey in the studio to explain who they sold their half to reyna. >> so according to the san francisco chronicle, oakland actually share it share of the coliseum to the african american sports and entertainment group. so the group is actually made up largely of black developers and investors as well. the a's they're still in the process of trying to complete their purchase. all the other 50% stake in the coliseum, which alameda county owns. but that deal could fall through depending on the outcome of a court case. the city says they initially hoped to work with the a's to sell ownership of the entire site to the developers, but they ended up working out a deal to sell their own share. this cell would actually help with the city's budget over the next 2 years. the developers consider plans to build a mega project with housing restaurants and also a new convention center. so that's what they're looking at. carly. so mayor sheng thao is going to hold a news conference is going to be a 3 o'clock to announce the details because in a lot of

10:04 am

10:05 am
then speaker of the house, nancy pelosi. but she was not home. instead, her husband, paul pelosi, was home. he woke up. he saw pap at the foot of his bed. he call san francisco police officers. they arrived and that's when prosecutors say david dip half when he saw the police officers, they claim he hit paul pelosi on the head with a hammer, knocking him unconscious. he woke up in his own pool of blood. now i use the word alleged to because he has not been convicted in state court despite being convicted in federal court for the attack because the charges are not the same in federal court. he was charged and convicted for a 10 to kidnapping of a federal official as well as an attack on the immediate member of a federal official that being nancy pelosi. but as far as the state charges, they will have to prove that state charges include attempted murder, assault as well as
10:06 am

10:07 am
school in san bruno, 20 students and one teacher reported having burning sensations in their eyes, nose and throat. and this young lady tells me she was one of them. and the feeling was like pepper spray. does in mice and mice row and then like and dislike the cause was from the mixture of gas and pepper spray that came from next door at the san francisco sheriff's office jail property. the sheriff's office was hosting a routine tactical training class inside the jail, which has been done for the last 20 years. so how do the chemicals get outside the school principal says it was the wind. >> the room was contained the open. the doors. of that smell or some of the came out and there was a strong breeze yesterday and this must have been right in the path of it. students at felt symptoms were checked out by medical personnel, then sent home in the school says they haven't gotten any reports of additional complications. >> one parent whose son was actually involved tells me he was happy with the way it was handled and that the school even had an in-person meeting.
10:08 am
my child had like a stinging in the eyes, a little nausea, but it went away pretty quickly to the schools and any emails or anything or yes, they did. the superintendent did it. and we had a meeting last night. the sheriff's office put out a statement saying, quote, these trainings are critical to law enforcement because they allow peace officers to test the safety of equipment for potential leaks and they provide staff with hands-on experience with chemical agents, preparing them for both physically and mentally for real life situations. we sincerely apologize to pirtle elementary school, its faculty and students and their families for the unseen event, which must've been especially scary for children. as for now, all of these training classes have been suspended there at the jail, as they say, they're going to continue look into their practices and see exactly how they can stop this from ever happening again. and principal here tells me he didn't even really know that there was a jail nearby. so he says this is normally not an issue. and as they both said on each side, they've been doing this for
10:09 am
the last 20 years. and this is kind of just one time thing. they're hoping that will happen. says we get more details from the sheriff's office. we'll keep you updated. that's very latest here in san bruno michael thomas story. and james, we'll send it back to you. okay. thank you, michael. >> it is 10. 0, 8, let's go to the south bay now where a man is in custody in san jose after police say he smashed the window of a baskin robbins, ice cream shops and a glass flying in the customer's yeah, a child is right by that window and must been hurt. >> but they can't find the family. they did, though, recently making arrests. come for jack moment has more. >> let's set the scene here for a moment. it is springtime in east side. san jose. the temperatures are warming up and you want to escape the heat. so child head to baskin robbins and once you do head to this baskin-robbins, you head inside, you wait for the ice cream when all of a sudden boom, a man runs up seemingly randomly breaks the glass, sending shards of it. flying on to you and your kid. you both go running has neighbors here quite concerned over the safety here and that has police looking for those victims. shocking surveillance

10:16 am
little bit of fog up and down the san mateo coastline. that's about it, though. high pressure ridge still in the same spot that it's been a while now, low pressures will drop in just to the east of the bay area and the state in general. this is going to be enough for a pretty sizable cool down in your memorial day weekend, as well as a very slim chance of a sprinkle or 2, especially if you're planning the holiday weekend up in the sierra where we could see some isolated showers towards friday and early saturday, maybe a brief trip or 2 here in the bay area. now, today is a day of transitioning out of the hottest day, which was yesterday and back down to a much more mild forecast 60's for your highs near the coastline and then pretty consistent 70's elsewhere along the peninsula anyways. still some low 80's for some inland spots. and the south bay, san jose at 80 degrees today pleasanton you'll be at 78 while oakland at 73 concord, 80 to sonoma and napa. both rounding us out
10:17 am
right at 80 degrees. a look ahead shows tomorrow. a trend of 70's begins in saturday. we briefly break that trend. but for the cooler only in the 60's, even for inland spots. temps will rebound slowly after that to the upper 70's by memorial day. back to you it's getting by a coyote. >> yeah. next to diaz, i know. and i saw one of the day before that and east bay park officials are warning, you know, the coyotes are out. its get were out there. and if you go to parks as you're most likely place to so they say avoid hiking alone, keep your kids and pets close by dogs on a leash. be aware of your surroundings, what whatever you're doing, stay on the trail and then never attempt to feed a coyote. if you do encounter one, walk away, calmly and leave quickly or just drive into the garage like i here at kron, 4 hurricane is out there on the streets. >> i-10, 17 the time a new telehealth line is launching in san francisco for unhoused % people to start their recovery treatment. the pilot program will provide a real-time connection with a doctor to help prescribe medication and

10:20 am
could cause problems for democrats in this year's elections. republicans say their colleagues aren't serious about fixing the problem. the reason all of a sudden they're interested in doing something or at least appearing to be doing something is because they know they got a big political or ability on this. and while the bill may pass the senate. >> it's not expected to survive the house. even brought up for a vote. >> so the president needs step up to it. do everything you can do on his own because legislation, obviously he's not going to clear. this year. >> the senate expected to vote on this legislation tomorrow reporting in washington on trevor shirley. >> one a at a cannabis cafe in the bay area. you might be able to soon. the state assembly just passed a bill to allow california to have cannabis cafe's kelly, gavin amsterdam, where they sell food, non-alcoholic drinks, host live entertainment all while you buy and use marijuana products inside the state senate hasn't approved
