at police as he was running from them. extra officers had to be called in to control an angry crowd at the scene near third street and oakdale avenue. abc7 john alston has amateur video from the scene. >> moments after the shootg a bystander was shooting video of the chaotic scene. it was the deadly conclusion of an encounter that started on the platform of the nearly t-line streetcar. police were doing inspections to make sure riders had paid their fares. at about a quarter to five they say they stopped a 19-year-old man who suddenly bolted. >> the suspect fled on foot. ducks the course of the foot pursuit, at this point we believe the suspect fired backwards at the officer and the officers returned fire. he was struck and wounded. >> the man was struck dead at 7:00 p.m. evidence who claimed they witnessed the shooting say the teenager did not fire, only the police did. >> he got on his knees like

that. the chase started from over there. >> henry taylor said he saw it unfold from a bench at the muni stop. >> when he did not have his fare, he took off running. like i said, it started off with a chase. i just seen shots going forward. i didn't see no shots coming backwards. >> police officers checked rooftops in the area but would not say if they had found a weapon that might have belonged to the suspect. as angry residents gathered police brought in extra units from other districts for crowd control. police were asked if someone in the crowd might have grabbed the gun off the ground? >> officers are talking to folks in the neighborhood. we have officers out canvassing, out with inspectors, look fog anyone with information. >> police say at least one of the officers fired shots. they are on paid administrative leave, which is routine procedure. investigations are now underway by the internal fares department, the d. a.'s office and office of citizens

complaint. abc7 news. we spoke to the man who shot video of the incident. he disagrees with the police account that the suspect was shooting back at them. >> he was running. how could he be a threat in retreat? he wasn't running backwards and turning around and shooting. he was in full throttle running away from the police. i don't see how he could have been a threat running away. >> police maintained the suspect fired at them and the officer returned fire in self-defense. >> angry demonstrators continue to protest in the streets into the morning hours. police were called at 16th and valencia streets shortly before 1:00 this morning where a crowd tipped over trash cans and expressed jut rage about the earlier shooting. officers patrolled and the protesters weekly broke up without any arrests being made. hayward police are investigating the failings

in the hospital with life-threatening injuries this morning after he was hit by an suv while riding his bike. it happened yesterday in the 1500 block of hicks avenue. police interviewed the 32-year-old driver at the scene. they don't expect alcohol or drugs were involved but they still have determined the cause of that collision. one cyclist who lives nearby said cars often drive too fast down the street. >> people need to slow down. people start getting ticketed. just everybody slow down. people go way too fast. cars are too safe. if a car was going to hit something and blow up, they would drive more careful. >> a portion of hicks avenue was shut down in both directions for several hours during the investigation. >> no new leads this morning in the disappearance of nursing student michelle le, despite another day of searching. volunteers searched parts of hayward yesterday, also on friday. the family is offering a $100,000 reward for any

information about her disappearance. the polyclass foundation has taken a large role in strategizing the effort. >> i don't think any of us want michelle forgotten. there obviously is information still out there. someone saw that vehicle, someone saw something that night. i think law enforcement would want those people to come forward and present that information. >> hayward police have classified the case as a murder investigation. le was last seen seven weeks ago at hayward's kaiser hospital. her car was found parked and locked nearby. so far it looks-like los angeles has avoid the feared traffic jam dubbed carmageddon. here is a live look. the ten mile stretch of 4905 is closed for 53 hours while crews partially demolish the bridge. so far everything is going as planned. >> reporter: for weeks now they predicted doomsday.

spacestation thursday has been given a clean bill of health. it was a hardware glitch. just to be safe the computer number 4 will be reassigned other different role. the guidance, navigation and control functions will be controlled by a different computer when it returns to earth on thursday to complete the final shuttle mission. >> well, our weather has been quite not up to par these last few days. >> you can say that. it's usually the gusty winds or the low clouds and we have a little of both. the marine layer is shrinking just a tiny bit. we will see gradual changes in the next 48 hours that will slowly warm us up. here's emeryville. nothing too dramatic. we are looking at subtle warming the last 24 hours but you wouldn't know it because we have the mist and the drizzle. 63 fremont, 61 redwood city. upper 50s in napa. so the west winds continue to

keep the cool marine air transported from the bay area to the delta and out through the central valley. it will limit our warming, but we are looking at a moderate west wind. we aren't look at the west winds. the low clouds will continue to evaporate and peel back today. it's four degrees warmer in redwood center, as well as napa and santa rosa. afternoon high is on the two to three degrees warmer. the wipers are needed this morning heading into san francisco. then the cooler afternoon highs. 10 to 15 degrees cooler than afternoon. a little warmth heads our way by the middle to the end of the week. looks like next weekend we should see some warmer weather. you've heard that before, right? here the on shore flow is keeping temperatures and the clouds persistent here at our coast. the 60s in the east bay valleys and upper 70s to near

80s and some spots here in the far inland areas. not a huge change, but the reason being, well we have a persistent area of low pressure. this is a secondary of low pressure that really has allowed for a permanent anchor here to the north and west of us. that's brought the cooler air, the on shore flow and the low cloud deck that has really grown over the weekend. but we are looking at anywhere from a 3,000-foot deck to 2500 and then eventually we will be looking at some warmer air headed our way. as for today the trough still overhead. afternoon sunshine, and the after-morning drizzle. you heard about the heat in the midsection. some of that warmth will be expanding our way by the middle of the week. today we are in the 90s in fresno. that's a switch. 91 there. look at vegas and palm springs. they are getting a piece of the heat from the central part of the u.s. 79 in los angeles. a little warm-up there with the clouds and mist and light rain in eureka at 63.

upper 70s add. that's an improvement. and 72 in san mateo. low clouds and fog holding on throughout the day hearby at our coast. but partly cloudy skies downtown this afternoon at 62. 74 in sonoma. really a mild afternoon for parts of our east bay and north bay with only 66 in san leandro. 70 fremont. as you head inland we will see just 74 danville and dublin today with 78 in livermore. down by the monterey bay, 67 in saw leana. here's the accuweather seven-day forecast. mid-july we have the june bloom around here that doesn't want to lift. eventually we will see a little warmer air massi -- mass move our way. and perhaps next weekend we will get some heat. >> we will look forward to that. thank you, lisa. coming up at 7:00, you any it's good morning america and dan hairston is joining us live now from new york. dan, i know you guys are trying

to figure out what's up with casey anthony, where is she now that she's a free woman. >> exactly right. huge news this morning, breaking news. after three years behind bars casey anthony was released from prison early this morning, very early this morning. this mother, as everybody knows, who was acquitted of murdering her young daughter caylee, walked out of the door a free woman. we will speak with nancy grace and ask her some questions, where does casey go from here, will she profit from the deal. a lot of questions upper asking yourself. and we will get into the oppressive heat waive that's suffocating several states in the middle of the country, as you folks were just talking about. records being broken from texas all the way up to minnesota and the heat zone continues to spread your way. and it is the biggest soccer game in years. much of america fired up this morning after a victory against france in the semifinals, the u.s. women's soccer team just hours away from taking on japan

in the world cup championship game. we will go live to germany with some alums, some vets from the championship game from 1999, including brandy. i believe it airs at 11:00 your time on our sister network espn. >> japan, though, is a mental favorite for a lot of folks. we have a huge asian-american population here and people are remembering the tsunami and the earthquake. so there's some feeling there for the japanese team, as well. >> absolutely. global sentiment in their favor and i'm sure that's on the mind of the american women as they go into this game. >> but still get out there, girls, and kick butt. go america! >> i have to say, with respect to our japanese american population, i'm rooting for the americans. >> me too. thanks, dan. see you at 7:00. >> take care. >> we are going to talk about sports. as dan mentioned, later this morning the u.s. women's soccer team will try to complete what

>> welcome back. foreclosed homes are being auctioned off at record-low prices. this weekend the competition was intense. abc7 takes us to an auction in oakland where first-time home buyers were trying to outbid

determined investors. the talk is fast and the numbers keep climbing. >> $270,000. >> this is a public auction of foreclosed homes. >> going twice, third. final call, for $275,000, sold! >> 51 homes went on the auction block from all over northern california, including sonoma, santa cruz. for some, bidding started at $19,000 for a home once worth $280,000. the oakland marriott became a place where dreams came true. >> a new homeowner today. >> beverly bought her home, a three-bedroom house in antioch. she hasn't had a permanent home in months and stayed with friends to save money. the starting bid todayat $25,000. >> how much did you get it for? >> $115,000. i'm very comfortable with that price. yeah, i'm going to live there a long time i think.

>> reporter: but there weren't all happy endings at the auction. these people had their lot set on lot number 27, a three-bedroom home in san leandro. >> it was a laid-out format for us. it was kind of open so we could watch her and had a garage for me. >> so it was perfect? >> yes. >> reporter: the young family was outbid by someone who bought it as an investment property. >> for people like us that both have steady jobs, we are educated, we just don't have a lot saved because we are a new family, and investors come in and just buy it, it's a little discouraging. >> reporter: the audience here is split. there are several investors and about a dozen regular people who just want to own a house. but according to golden gate university school of business, professional investors are exactly what the housing market needs. >> for right now the investors are in a better position i think to move quickly with cash, and frankly the sooner they clear the market, the better.

>> abc7 news. first-time home buyers have a chance for a great deal with sunyvale. it's part of the city's below market rate program. starting tomorrow buyers who are eligible can put down just $50 and get into a lottery. the winners will be able to purchase one of five single-family homes ranging from $433,000 to $468,000. that's about half what the homes should sell for. applications will be accepted july 18th through the 25th at sunyvale city hall. and in this tough economy there's one group of teachers in great demand, those who specialize in math and science. as baby boomers retire, california will need more than 30,000 teachers in those two fields over the next ten years. abc7's education reporter, leeann, looks at what is being done to meet the demand.

>> she works in a financial firm and she hopes her financial background will help her become a good math teachers. >> i want to open up opportunities to students, and make them realize math is not just math, it knows into science and other subjects. it's a strong foundation. >> her training starts in this classroom. one one month intensive preparation under the aspire teacher residency program. they will spend one year shadowing a veteran teachers at one of the 30 aspiring schools at low income schools in california. katie kelly was attracted to the program and moved from boston a month ago. >> when i applied to the program i knew i wanted to teach, and i applied and said i would be almost equally happy to teach social studies or biology. and i had a hunch that they

might take abietate biology because i know that science teachers are in high demand. >> she will now help teach high school science in the fall. >> especially the middle school and high school we have high demand to have highly qualified teachers who understands the subject, and also understand how to teach it well. >> the obama administration has called on nonprofits like aspire to recruit and prepare more science, technology, engineering and math teachners public schools. another organization, the california teacher core, has already placed is it 1100 math and science teachners public schools throughout california. now the nonprofit has vowed to place another 2500 by the year 2015. still, despite these efforts, the state is expected to fall short of meeting the demand for math and science teachers. that's why schools are eager to attract more career changers like tim. in berkeley, leeann melinda, abc7 news. >> you have math and science skills to be a meteorologist.

>> yeah, yeah. and putting those skills to use. pretty dreary out there. in fact, looking at a lot of mist and drizzle this morning with temperatures in the 50s and 60s. here's a look outside, the roof camera. you will, in boy, do we have a deck of low clouds or what? it's extending into the inland valleys. i'll tell you about when you can expect to see the sun and when the warmth is coming back. that's next. >> thank you, lisa. also ahead, the sounds of the sea that are putting whales in jeopardy off the california coast.

>> the copper coins in your pocket cost more than a penny to make these days, but to many people they are all but worthless. wayne freedman takes a look at why some see a penny saved as a penny wasted. >> reporter: it's your lucky day, abe lincoln face-up on the sidewalk. better move quick, he will be gone in a sec, right? >> did you see what you just walked over? >> i did not.

well, then how about two pennies for their thoughts? >> what do you see on the ground next to you? >> concrete. >> make it five cents. >> i don't want them. >> and maybe you be see a trend here. at a growing number of businesses, including mike's bikes in san rafael, pennies have fallen from favor. >> they are just annoying. that's how the whole thing started. >> you got nickels, dimes, quarters, dollars, no pennies? >> no pennies. >> now at mike's every cash transaction rounds down to the nearest nickel in a customer's favor. their reaction has been overwhelmingly underwomen. >> whatever is easier, i don't care. am i helping? >> in terms of cold cash the store estimates the new policy will cost about $200,000. >> and you are gaining? >> we are gaining much more than that in time. >> all right, 50 cents. >> reporter: in the macro, however, what we are witnessing here appears to be an entirely new take on how a penny saved now means nothing in the real world, except at fuel pumps, of course, where even tenth of

pennies still matter. but offer a guy 50 real ones on a sidewalk? >> you don't want them? >> no. >> they are a hassle. they make noise in your packet. >> reporter: according to the government, each new penny costs 1.7 cents to make, rendering each a loss from the start. but there have been exceptions in history. up the street at san rafael rare coin, rodger showed us a 1909-penny minted in san francisco that is actually worth $4,000. what happened? >> you should be asking what happened to the dollar. nobody has noticed them. nobody wants to go through the effort to take 50 cents off the street. >> you know what? i'm about to. >> reporter: so william tiffen did. maybe a guy needs to be out of work in a tough economy to still appreciate pennys. >> it means hope. hope. so you will have more. >> reporter: it took william

about 30 seconds to scoop the coins. you know, that's not a bad hourly rate. >> how about putting $50 down for me now. >> they say a lincoln penny is lucky. but not that lucky. >> you have a good day. >> wayne freedman, abc7 news. about 25,000 people are expected to gather at golden gate park this morning for the annual san francisco a.i.d.s. walk. for the past 25 years people have been walking to raise money for a.i.d.s. service organizations. in that time $74 million has been raised to help fight the spread of the disease and to ensure people living with hiv get the care they need. everyday in san francisco two more people are infected with hiv and the rates of new in infections are rising among gay and bisexual men. today's fund-raising will support the work of the a.i.d.s. foundation and 38 other a.i.d.s. organizations across the bay area. the walk kicks off at 10:30.

>> and walking weather, pretty good. you like it cool when you are out there. >> yeah. last weekend for the avon walk we didn't have the drizzle. we had the low clouds. the mist and drizzle will be lifting but look outside the golden gate bridge this morning. the deck of low clouds throughout the county, the coast. we will look at some of the wipers. here's another view from emeryville. see the bridge in the distance and alcatraz. it is down low. be careful if you are headed over any of the bridges. visibility has been reduced. it's 56 both in san francisco and oakland, with 61 in fremont. 60 in concord. so we are looking at temperatures a couple degrees warmer than yesterday morning. does that mean afternoon highs a little warmer? maybe a couple degrees here and there in our inland valleys. we are looking for the drizzle this morning. and then still the cooler than

average temperatures. but we are looking at the numbers coming up a few degrees but more warming by the middle of the week. we've had this nemesis, this area of low pressure that has brought a cooler than normal air massi and the low clouds. you see how it is continuing to drop to the south. eventually it lifts on out and that will bring a change in our weather pattern. we will see high pressure dominate the weather picture for much of the bay area in the days ahead after tuesday. so today we will see the clouds peel back, sunshine by 11:00 except it stops right here. san francisco, the san mateo coast, you saw limited clearing late in the day yesterday in the city. once again today, low 60s in the afternoon and count on mostly cloudy skies. we will see some upper 70s in the south bay and a bit after warm-up across the state, and some 90s to return to the san joaquin valleys and

mid-80s. we are looking at meg heat here around the desert. back here 78 in campbell, 75 san jose. upper 50s half moon day and pacifica today with a moderate sea breeze. the drizzle lifting by late this morning. 37 for palo alto. and in the north bay we will see a range of 70s with the low 70s around central marine county with 76 up through sonoma county. 79 clear lake. near east bay look for 66 here in san leandro. hayward in the upper 60s. out toward fremont about 70. temperatures here maybe a degree or two warmer. 74 in dublin. 78 by the delta. still kind of breezy here. we will look for numbers around the monterey bay to be mild with only around 80 in morgan hill. the accuweather seven-day forecast today, we are featuring the low clouds again with the mist and drizzle.

by the middle of the week, say tuesday, wednesday, we will get into a warmer air massi and that should bring back a few 90s to the inland valleys and mid-60s at our coast. nothing too dramatic. once again, kind. a dreary start out there. >> yeah, gray. thank you, lisa. the world's oceans are becoming an increasingly dangerous place for whales, which are already threatened by hunting, pollution, sonar and climate change. now environmentists are worried about the noise from ships. 3500 big ships come to the bay area every year. in this morning's assignment 7 report, dan ashley reports on the growing call to make the oceans more quiet. >> reporter: a few miles outside the golden gate, this boat of whale watchers got a special treat. in addition to seeing humpback whales, they also got to hear

them. this video was shot by pacific environment. the sound was recorded with an underwater microphone. [whale sounds] >> up on land we rely on our eyes to see, but in the ocean, a darkened environment, it's all about sound. >> whales need sound for just about every part of their lives, from finding food to caring for their young. but it's getting harder for whales to hear. jackie is with greenpeace. she's part of a working group of government, industry and environmental organizations studying ocean noise and whales. >> with so many ships in the ocean coming and going, it's created tremendous amount of noise. it's a particular noise in that same frequency range that is utilized by the whales. those are the whales we have in san francisco and off the coast of california. humpbacks, grays, blues, fins, many of which are endangered. >> we went along with jackie on a tour boat to listen to the shipping noise firsthand. we are in this gulf, a protected area outside the golden gate

where whales are often spotted. a major shipping lane runs right through the sanctuary. >> this is a hydrphone, and we will throw it overboard now. >> the underwater microphone picks up the sound of a nearby container ship. [static noise] >> when we have the sounds of ships such as this, of which we have thousands of, it's flooding this ocean world with this constant fog of noise. >> reporter: no one knows for certain if or how that noise has contributed to the recent waves of ships hitting whales but the fund for animal welfare says there's plenty ever evidence that says noise is interfering with whale behavior. we talk with him via skype. >> a lot of people think that underwater, out of sight, out of mind. but in reality a noise under water should be investigated and investigated just like pollution is on land. >> spokesman for the helping
