housing. >> this was all announced today at castlemont high school, where the mayor and other city leaders met after negotiations that have taken place over the last year and a half. the african american sports and entertainment group has agreed to purchase the city's share to redevelop the property. they're committed to revitalizing oakland. the goal is to include affordable housing and an entertainment and sports complex. now, castlemont high school students actually proposed plans for ways to use the property and presented them to stakeholders. meanwhile, the mayor says this agreement will be a positive change for oakland , making a dig at the athletics for their departure. >> it takes a partner that understands that there is a return on investment that doesn't necessarily show up on that balance sheet. that is just not all about the money, but it's about the community and making sure that they're thriving. >> now, this comes after reports of the city's budget deficit and the debts impending threat to public safety. the deal will have to be approved by city council, an introductory city council meeting is set to take

place as early as next week, when all is said and done. if everything goes as planned, they plan to break ground within the next 2 to 3 years. now, tonight at six, i'll have more about the other half of the oakland coliseum, which is currently owned by the county, to be sold to the a's. crystal bailey, ktvu, fox two news. >> all right, crystal, thank you for that. >> also new at five tonight. the federal bureau of prisons will stand trial over claims that it allowed guards at the now closed women's prison in dublin to abuse inmates. seven correctional officers, including a former warden, have been convicted for sex crimes committed at fci dublin. then last month, the prisons bureau suddenly announced the facility would close more than 600 inmates were sent to other federal prisons. many say they were abused during the transfer process. at a hearing today, a federal judge also ordered a special master to continue overseeing those women's claims. the trial is set to begin next june. the prisons bureau is not commenting on the matter. ktvu has extensively covered the sex

abuse scandal at fci dublin. you can always find the latest developments right there on our website at ktvu.com. >> also new tonight at five. a gilroy high school student has been arrested for stabbing a student. police were called to christopher high school around noontime today. they say two boys had gotten into a fightn a locker room during that fight, one of the students stabbed the other with a knife. the staff and a school resource officer intervened and the campus eventually did go into lockdown. as a precaution, the vti was transported to the hospital. the condition of that person not known, and the juvenile suspect was booked on several charges. governor newsom's office released new numbers touting the success of the ongoing crime fighting efforts across the east bay. officials say since february, officers have recovered 726 stolen vehicles, arrested 355 people and seized 46 guns, all linked to crimes. chp says it is using data from its office and local law enforcement agencies, including oakland police, to help them target specific areas with high

crime. >> all of that is just technology based that helps investigations so that we can make sure that we are accurately identifying those that are responsible for these crimes, and then going ahead and making those proper arrests, recovering, you know, hopefully firearms that are used in criminal acts and stolen vehicles. >> now, the chp president is out there on city streets, is drawing some mixed reaction. while many support the governor's attention on solving oakland's crime problem, critics point out the relatively small number of arrests in a three month span. >> all of these are alleged these people have not gone to court and people have not been convicted. so we need to stop saying that these are solved cases. >> we have reached out to chp and the governor's office to try and get more specifics on their efforts to address questions, such as what specific crimes are actually being committed. we have yet to hear back. >> oakland's fired former police chief officially became a candidate for the at large citywide council seat in the november election. ktvu tom

vacar joining us now live in the studio with a closer look at the impact of leronne armstrong's candidacy. >> tom, big deal. you know, oakland's politics just became far more intense as two warring parties that would be the mayor and the former police chief will clash even harder if the very popular former chief becomes a member of city council. former oakland police chief laurent armstrong filed papers wednesday to run for the councilman at large seat currently held by rebecca kaplan, who has not yet decided to re seek that seat. >> i am completely connected to this city and i want to be a part of this city. change moving forward. >> 15 months ago, the popular chief was fired by mayor shengtao after an outside investigation concluded that he had mishandled two police misconduct cases. he was later cleared of those allegations by an arbitrator. he is now suing the city of oakland, accusing the mayor of wrongful termination and seeking an office with power over her. >> i hope that i can be, you

know, a reassurance to business owners and developers that want to come into this city that there's somebody that actually understands public safety on the council and that is focused on making sure that oakland is a safe city. i believe he will. >> like i said, he's, he did a good job when he was the chief, i think he was wrongfully fired, but, i think he'll do a good job. well i'll take that into consideration and look at his history. >> so if there's been criticism, i will listen to that criticism, too. but i'll weigh him evenly as a candidate. >> i don't really think that there should be like police and government because they might be, like biased, you know? >> political analyst brian sobel says chances are excellent because he is the leading candidate, because he has tremendous name recognition citywide. so what about endorsements? >> i think my endorsement will come from the people of oakland. i know people across the city. i have relationship tips with people across this city. >> and so the question ultimately arises, what if mayor shengtao is actually recalled? >> will the former chief have a

crack at that job? >> the future could show us an armstrong run for mayor under any circumstances. >> is now at least eight. others are seeking the seat, and some more may file. but armstrong's high profile and vast popularity makes him a very serious contender. tom vacar ktvu fox two news yeah, indeed it does, tom, but boy, armstrong is going to have to play catch up fast. >> there's one thing with being a police chief and leading a police department. there's another. and in city politics, wondering, though, what he had to say today about the idea of potentially serving alongside people who supported his firing. well he said that he was going to be a person who was going to represent his constituency, which is precisely the same constituency that the mayor has. >> he said that he will let the courts decide some of those issues, but he's going to try to be as cooperative as possible. now, all of this hinges on something that we haven't heard back from yet, and that is whether or not the current

incumbent, rebecca kaplan, is going to run again. if she does, i think she's clearly got the lead because she's very popular herself. but make no mistake, chief armstrong, very powerful candidate. >> yeah. and kaplan has been in city government for several years. all right. tom baker, thank you. police in san leandro investigating a shooting that started with a car theft. it began this morning when police say a man's van was stolen from the parking lot of the home depot off of davis street. the victim followed the thieves to pulverosa avenue, not far from where the van was stolen. that's when police say shots rang out. we talked with one man who was working nearby, and the guy in the van was just popping at him. >> yeah. it was. i mean, it was pretty scary because we're right here working in the shoot out, right here. so san leandro pd came up, locked up everything, and they handled it from there. >> no injuries were reported. we've reached out to police to try to confirm more details of the shooting. we have not yet heard back.

>> new at five residents in east contra costa county have a new message directed toward amtrak. don't drop our stop. advocates rallied at the pittsburg antioch amtrak station this afternoon. last year. the san joaquin joint powers authority, which manages amtrak service, voted to decommission this station. it was due to safety issues, including homeless people camping there at the station. that closure is scheduled for later this year and a new stop is being built in oakley. members of the alliance of californians for community empowerment say residents did not get a chance to provide their input. they say many people, including seniors and students, use the train as their main form of transportation. >> i can't fly anymore because of the disabilities that i have from cancer now, so the train is the only way i can get across the country. and being that the train station is right here in antioch, why would i need to go any further when i'm just right down the street? >> residents say they are hoping to pressure officials to reverse their decision. they are urging people to turn out for the next

meeting of the joint powers authority, scheduled for july 19th in stockton. >> hundreds of uc students and union workers protested across california today over the system's alleged failure to address the growing cost of living. skyfox up overhead, a picket at ucsf medical center. rallies were scheduled at every uc school in the state. the universities are accused of ignoring the financial needs of its workforce and of students. protesters also say the schools are not doing enough to keep people safe on campus, citing recent pro-palestine demonstrations that turned violent. the uc spokesperson tells ktvu since negotiations began in january, they have made good progress with the union, saying in part, quote, our goal is to acknowledge their growing contributions, appreciate their commitment and offer a financial package that helps alleviate some of their financial strains. we look forward to continuing those exchanges of proposals and discussions. >> today. is harvey milk day in san francisco. milk, who was

born 94 years ago, was the first openly gay man elected to public office in california when he was elected as a san francisco supervisor in 1977. in november of 78, milk and san francisco mayor george moscone were shot and killed by supervisor dan white in the last hour at for the president emeritus of the harvey milk lgbtq democratic club, talked about milk's influence beyond lgbtq rights. >> it was an equally strong advocate for renters, for workers, for people riding public transit. and he was really critical in the idea that the gay liberation movement needed to build coalitions and fight in solidarity with other movements for rights and for justice. >> as edward, right, said, that milk encouraged all people to speak up when the rights of others were under attack, not to stand out there on the sidelines . >> a training exercise gone wrong at the san francisco jail. what deputies are vowing to do differently after several

students and staff at a nearby school fell ill. >> also, a graduation ceremony signaling the end of more than just college careers. tonight at 530, we'll go live to san jose state university, where a pro-palestine encampment is coming down. >> but first jury selection begins. in the second trial for paul pelosi's convicted attacker . how an error by a judge in the first trial could change the timeline for this case. >> and in weather, another warm day out there. lots of sunshine with a big weather headline for us, a big ime cool g

home and attempt to kidnap her, and then beating her husband, paul pelosi with a hammer. >> but depape faces a litany of other charges from the san francisco district attorney. ktvu christien kafton joins us live tonight from the city with the very latest christian. >> yeah, we are in the midst of jury selection. and experts say this process selecting a jury can be the most critical part to any case. 120 prospective jurors filed into department 19 in san francisco's hall of justice, marking the beginning of the state trial for david depape. san francisco's district attorney charged with attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, residential burglary, false imprisonment and threatening the life or serious bodily harm to a public official and added a new charge of threatening the staff or family of a public official. now, prosecutors and public defenders are selecting the jurors who will decide his fate in county court. ucsf school of law professor david levine says while the case is just getting

underway, the outcome could be decided by who is selected to be on that jury. >> experienced lawyers say that picking the jury is the whole thing, because those are the people who ultimately will make the decision and that the choices that you make as a lawyer in terms of, agreeing to hear, let somebody be on the jury or not make can make all the difference in the world due to the high profile nature of the case, the jurors are facing additional security measures, with deputies just outside the courtroom staffing a checkpoint and enforcing rules, including no water bottles inside. >> jurors faced questions on just how much they had heard about the case, and even about their political leanings. jurors can be excused for cause if there's some reason they can't serve, but the attorneys will also get to remove some as peremptory challenges. randall knox is a former prosecutor and now a defense attorney. he says each side is now trying to pick the jury they think will deliver the verdict. they want. but for prosecutors, the bar, he says, is lower. >> the prosecution's got a video. this is a 21st century

case. they have the crime actually recorded, visually. so the question would be for the defense. can you find jurors that might be more sympathetic to somebody who's got a mental illness, who believes in a bunch of conspiracy theories? yeah. >> now, the jury selection process is expected to take several days. now, there's a hearing scheduled for next tuesday, the same day depape is due back in federal court, where he was already convicted and sentenced to 30 years in prison. now, this afternoon, we've learned that depapes defense team in that federal court case are asking for a new judge and are asking to halt that hearing where he could speak out in court. after u.s. district judge jacqueline scott corley did not allow depape to address the court himself last week. so there are a lot of moving parts here, guys. >> yeah, a lot going on. and with that christian at this point, do we know at all how that's going to play out or how it could affect the state case

at least? >> yeah, that's one of the big questions that's out there. mike, at this point we don't know exactly how this is all going to play out or how it could impact the state case. now, the same day that that hearing is planned, there is a hearing that's planned here in san francisco superior court to address issues about whether double jeopardy applies in this case. and double jeopardy, of course, is where you can't convict the same person twice of the same crime. so again, with the state case and things developing in the federal case case, rather, there's a lot to keep track of here. >> yeah. many questions with these parallel cases. all right christian thank you. >> two dozen students and staff members at a san bruno elementary school had to be treated for a reaction to tear gas. portola elementary school community members say they could feel the gas in the air. yesterday, when children were getting picked up from school, the san francisco county sheriff's office was conducting a training exercise with the gas at a nearby jail, and parents say this could have all been easily avoided. >> i think the sheriff's they should have put us on notice on

the school, and so we could have the school could have taken precautions to make sure that the kids were safe. kids and parents, all people, neighborhoods, everyone could have been safeguarded. >> and the san francisco sheriff says he is planning to hold a town hall to answer any questions about the incident. >> voters in richmond could have the final say on a proposal to tax the chevron refinery. the city council voted unanimously to ask the city attorney to prepare a richmond refinery tax act ballot initiative. the move would help cover a $24 million gap in the city's 2024 budget. supporters say big companies and polluters like chevron are not paying their fair share, while causing millions in health care bills for richmond residents. >> every day, big polluters in richmond endanger our community's health. we are talking about big corporations, not small businesses who are enriching themselves at the expense of our families. >> we have to think about our future. richmond has been a

refinery town for more than 100 years, but it won't be 100 years from now. >> now, the city of richmond reportedly has a higher asthma rate than 90% of the rest of the state. and for neighborhoods near the refinery, that number jumps to 99. chevron responded to this proposal, saying in part, quote, we support policies that encourage business investment and seek to create a better quality of life for richmond residents. that said, we believe the proposed refining tax is the wrong approach to do that. the statement goes on to call the proposal hasty and the tax punitive. >> all right. back now to that breaking news we brought you at the top of the hour. sky fox still overhead a fire at the sims metal facility. this is in redwood city, a recycling center located on seaport boulevard on the east side of 101. if you're not familiar with this area, it's a fairly heather industrial area. >> yeah, we've been keeping an eye on this ever since it broke

out just about an hour or so ago. it was first reported around three crews have made progress, though, as you can see here in these live pics. controlling the flames. but the fire is putting off a good amount of smoke. and so air quality officials say several neighborhoods could be affected by all of this. our meteorologist, mark tamayo, standing by now with that part of the story and wondering, mark, if the winds are at play here. >> yeah, there's definitely a wind that has been strengthening over the past few hours. so that wind would send that smoke across the bay, out toward portions of the east bay. we're thinking out toward union city, newark, and a fremont. so let's come in and take a closer look at the maps right now. we'll go ahead and drop in the wind. you can see the overall flow. as you can see out towards san mateo, redwood city, palo alto, as we come in real close here on the mapping system, you get a better sense of this location of where this fire is happening right around here. so seaport boulevard looks like hinman road. so kind of right in this area, at least according to the maps. that's where this event is happening. as far as the current wind reports right now, it is a west southwest wind and it has

strengthened a bit, gusting at 24 miles an hour, so that potentially you could see that you can see highway 101 right here. you can see where the fire location that potentially could be blowing the smoke back into the bay approaching the east bay neighborhoods, obviously having a big impact on air quality. so if you see the smoke or sense the smoke, you just want to go inside. and as we check out to the maps, as we try to catch up right now, you can see some of the current air quality sensors really not picking up on this just yet. it takes the time. it takes some time for these to actually pick up on the observations. right now, when the greens and the yellows, but that could be changing in the short term, as that smoke plume does move across the bay. now take a look at as far as the temperatures for today. here in the bay area is another warm day, mid to upper 80s out toward brentwood and healdsburg. menlo park, 81, gilroy in the 70s. the headline is this a bit of a cool down, especially as we head toward friday and to saturday. by the weekend, we will struggle to reach the 70 degree mark. so right now we have lots of clear skies out there. we could have some patchy fog trying to

regroup in the coastline, but the bulk of the cloud cover is focused in monterey bay. current number is san francisco 62, san jose 74, concord 81 degrees. we'll take a look at those wind reports because it is breezy to windy and a few spots, especially out toward sfo, you can see gusting to 32 miles an hour. so outside right now we are in the clear. but we will have more on that. cool down, a little bit of some cooling for tomorrow and then more pronounced cooling by the weekend. while the full update in just a little bit, we're really sad. >> we're really going to miss her and it's just been it's been a tough couple of weeks for us here. >> an emotional day in oakland. up next, family, friends and coworkers paying their respects to the 911 dispatcher killed by an alleged drunk river

others and always stayed positive despite the rigors and stresses of her job. >> her job was the perfect part for her. she was there to bring people together, whether it was for help or just to be there for them. she was that part. >> finau was headed to work when a car broadsided her honda civic at east 14th street and 150th avenue in san leandro. it happened just blocks from the sheriff's dispatch center. the woman, who hit her has not been charged. sheriff yesenia sanchez was among those paying their respects. an honor guard with a folded american flag, the sheriff presented to finnell's family. >> we heard a lot of kind words about antoinette, and i that it was really felt in the room as far as how much love that she was able to share out. >> finau was 37 years old, a single mother of an 11 year old daughter, aliana, whose energy uplifted others. she always came in with such a light, a beautiful smile, a great spirit and, we laughed a lot with her and she always just brought a lightness to the room. sheriff's motorcycle officers led a procession to a hayward cemetery. dispatchers from

across the east bay staffed the sheriff's dispatch center to allow their colleagues to grieve. in oakland, henry lee ktvu, fox two news. >> next, at 530, is college graduations. continue the pro palestine protest movement on campuses, slowing down when the encampment at san jose state university will be taken down. plus. >> so i will be voting for trump. having said that, a surprise endorsement from nikki haley. why she says she's supporting the man she once tried to take out of the presidential race. plus israel's prime minister is in hot water with the international criminal court. >> but that's not stopping u.s. lawmakers from inviting him to address congress. i'm rebecca caster in washington with how mocrats

that's been taught outside the classroom over the past ten days. the smiling faces and frantic camera framing at san jose state wednesday, a visual clue of the completion of a milestone journey. >> i feel excited it was a it was a long four years, but i'm we're at the end, so i'm a college graduate now was all of us. >> of course a lot of support from them and a lot of encouragement. it was awesome. i want to say thank you so much for all the people that helped me get to this place. >> if i wasn't palestinian, i wouldn't be here. >> while parchments were handed out inside the event center moving preparations underway outside in the shadow of the smith carlos victory salute statues. so the entire oval now is clear. sjsu for gaza organizers cleared an area for picture taking around the famous statues for graduation, and they say they'll clear out altogether beginning wednesday evening after a ten day stay on the grassy site. >> we're not only here for palestinians, that is the

primary reason, but there is an underlying reason why we're here and that is to fight racism in all forms. >> officials say a split within groups advocating for the system's divestment from israel is leading to sjsu for gaza's departure in social media posts, the group says in part, we are no longer participating as organizers of the encampment, as of tuesday afternoon. our approach differs, but we continue to express solidarity for all work towards divestment and palestinian liberation on our campus. >> we had an opportunity for dialog with the students to hear what they were concerned about, and i think it was an important opportunity to, you know, have a deeper understanding about their perspective on it. and i think that we were successful in doing that. >> university spokeswoman michelle smith mcdonald says the decampment could signal a successful resolution at a time when many other students have successfully completed their coursework and are moving on to what's next. actually i'm going to get my phd. >> and katie is getting her phd in ocean engineering, and she's

paying her own way for ceremony set for tomorrow. >> another three on friday. live on the san jose state campus. jesse gary, ktvu, fox two news. >> well, the california state university system does not have any direct investments in companies that may profit from the war in gaza. csu officials disclosing that information about the university system's investments in response to the protest movement. csu says it only has a few indirect holdings through mutual funds totaling about $3 million, and says the university system will not sell off those holdings. presidents and chancellors from ucla, rutgers and northwestern universities are set to testify on capitol hill tomorrow. they'll be at a house education and workforce committee hearing. they're being accused of not doing enough to curb protests on their campuses. unions representing thousands of faculty, graduate workers and others at the university say the committee members are extremists

and say their allegations are part of an attack on academic freedom and campus free speech. >> we see a crisis as our colleges and universities come under increasing attack. we have watched as higher education, which is the bedrock of democracy, as well as the engine for technological innovation, social mobility and social progress, as well as one of the most respected sectors in society, has become a punching bag for bad faith actors. >> the union representatives say they believe the recent campus protests fall squarely within the traditions of free speech and academic freedom. >> the police chief at ucla has been reassigned following criticism over his handling of the campus protest there at ucla. that demonstration included a group of people attacking a pro-palestinian encampment. officials say the fighting continued for several hours before officers stepped in and no one was arrested. at least 15 protesters were injured , according to ucla chief john thomas is being temporarily

reassigned pending an examination of the department's security processes. thomas says he did everything he could to provide security and to keep students safe during the protest , israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu may be invited to address congress. lawmakers are considering this move, which would be controversial to many. but as fox's rebecca castro reports tonight, it would also show support to the embattled leader in his country. amid the growing criticism over the war in gaza, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, facing growing pressure this week after prosecutors at the international criminal court requested arrest warrants for him over alleged war crimes in gaza, a move strongly denounced by president biden. >> and now congressional leaders want to show their support by inviting netanyahu to capitol hill. >> it's important that we support the jewish state of israel and having the prime minister come and address a joint session of congress, i think would be would be well received by most americans. >> but not all lawmakers,

particularly some democrats, are on board. >> i don't think that we should see support for it whatsoever. our responsibility is not to cheer on the continued conflict here. our job is to bring it to a, a resolution. >> but netanyahu has more pressing concerns than the potential arrest warrants. ireland's norway and spain announced they'll formally recognize palestine as its own state, a major diplomatic blow for israel de la rosa, as this evil cannot be given a state, this would be a terrorist state. those european nations see statehood for palestine as a way to end the war, but the u.s. has no plans to follow suit. >> president biden, as i just said, has been on the record supporting a two state solution. he has been equally emphatic on the record that that two state solution should be brought about through direct negotiations through the parties, not through unilateral recognition. >> prime minister netanyahu has not told u.s. leaders whether he would accept an invitation to address congress in washington. rebecca kaster, ktvu, fox two

first time she has publicly backed former president trump. still ahead tonight, billions of dollars in new student loan relief. who is eligible to see some of their debt wiped out? >> also, a proposal to add a new alert to your vehicle one step closer to becoming a reality. the bill that could warn california drivers that they're going too fast and coming up next, nearly two dozen people still in critical condition after a plane experiences severe turbulence. >> as we learn more about the horrifying moments mid-air
