as san jose. so really a nice start out there. with the clear sky, maybe a patch of fog. five mile visibility around half moon bay. hot inland over the weekend. we will be warmer today than tomorrow and we will look for much cooler weather headed our way tuesday and wednesday. so with each and every day we will drop a few degrees out there. so get set for another warm one. the reason we won't see much of the extended period of warming trend is that offer sea breeze is not going to go away. we are looking at the fog to all about disappear today. although the temperatures are going to warm up nicely. upper 60s again from the shoreline. we will see 7070 70s in the city. and plenty of 90s and near 100 in our inland valley. it's due to the big ridge of high pressure and it's building westward so this is the heat that's encompassing much of the nation. we have a couple of travis continuing to rotate to the north and west of us.

in his arm after being shot inside the theater. after being treated tore wounds he returned to the scene to give a firsthand account of what it was like to be in there. >> there were bullets hitting the seats in front of us. he was shooting at people at the exits. you can see the white lights kept going. every eight or ten shots he would stop and that's when you heard -- i can still hear it now, just the little kids screaming and parents asking where their children are and people crawling over you, just a herd of people. >> a dozen families waited all day long holding out hope that somehow their unaccounted-for loved ones might have escaped but last night aurora police win door to door notifying all of the families of those who died inside the theater. we will have more on in this evening. this morning the shooting

assault weapon is is a little tricky and manufactures have figured out how to get around that. >> even before the theater massacre, state lawmakers have been working on several gun control proposals, including one that requires the reporting of lost or stolen firearms. bans open carry of unloaded long guns and open carry of unloaded handguns is prohibited. >> in the state of colorado we have a bullet button. >> storeowner, joe, showed us a weapon like the one used in colorado. if he got the assault weapon in california it would have come about with a bullet button that slows down the time it takes to reload. and the limit is ten bullets. you can buy them with 100 bullets in other states, which are illegal to bring here. and he thinks california needs more gun laws. >> and they are a little bit overkiln i think right now we have enough laws in place to adequately keep anybody from owning a gun that shouldn't with

the exception of the law enforcement and street purse which we have no control over. >> but tragedies spark legislation. >> we should be asking our legislators, members of congress to strengthen gun laws so it doesn't happen again. >> this is a person issue, not a gun issue. we need to keep that in mind. >> and congresswoman gabrielle gifford was shot they had stronger gun laws. >> and chris knight, the director of the movie, is reacting and he said the shared experience of watching the story unfold on screen is an important pastime and that someone would violate that in such an unbearably savage way is devastating. meanwhile questions are emerging about what this will do to the batman brand. wade freedman has more on that. >> who better to analyze a possible link between a comic

book eye on and a real life tragedy than the people who know batman best, his fans and patrons. >> we have batman here and someone more featured stories. >> to appreciate the depth and breadth of the economic empire look no further than san mateo where batman has become so popular in anticipation of the new picture, some items sold out. mark manages the store. he said anything between the shooting and the story remains superficial. teargas was used and other things, and actually described to take people out. >> at theaters some people stayed away. >> i'm not going to take my grandchildren to go see batman. i had mean, we were. >> still, it played to mostly packed houses on three screens. zach hadn't even heard of the tragedy until we told him.

>> it may be the only psychological correlation i can see with this person that may have killed a lot of people sounds like -- >> a thought that resonated back at lee's where customers point the out with batman any violence remains fictional, at least until we learn otherwise. >> somebody just had a break with reality and had access to things that most people shouldn't. >> in san mateo, wade freedman, abc7 news. >> the movie chain amc said it banned fans from wearing costumes, full-facemasks or carrying in fake weapons. holmes wore a gas mask and armor and he blended in. >> people were allowed to wear costumes because batman costumes and his enemies so it was not something -- it wasn't unusual for him to be dressed the way he

was dressed. >> "the dark knight rises" is playing on screens across the country but so far the amc movie house is the only movie house to ban costumes. stay with us for continuing coverage. we will have the latest developments online at abc7news.com. you can also get breaking news updates on twitter, abc7 news bay area and on our facebook page. straight ahead, helping the thousands of foster kids in the bay area. abc7 news saw lieutenants the volunteers making a difference in their lives. and right now a live look out from the east bay looking at emeryville, the bay area nice and calm and a real, real warm day on the way. and lisa argen, looks

>> 5:47 on a saturday morning. you are looking at a live picture from aurora, colorado. this is the apartment where james holmes, the suspect in yesterday's shooting at the theater which killed 12, wounded 58, this is where he lived. this is an apartment which appears to be booby trapped. firefighters, investigators have gone to a window to look in and what they are seeing is a whole lot of trip wires and a lot of containers containing chemicals. they don't know what. he's not cooperating. but he did tell authorities that his apartment was booby trapped and this is a scene from there. they have not gone in yet. they do not know exactly what they are dealing with but they are saying that sometime today they are going to go into that apartment to try to figure out exactly what he booby trapped it with. and the area around the apartment and buildings around have been evacuated as a precaution. we will keep you posted on that. much more on that situation

coming up in just a little bit. crews expect to have the robber's fire burning in placer county under control today. a person is being held in connection with setting the property on fire. he burned near 2600 acres near forest hill and it has destroyed at least one home. moments ago, and lisa argenen with the forecast and you are talking about temperatures going up, fire danger obviously going up with it. and there's an example of what can happen. >> right. temperatures and we are flirting with 100 degrees with a pretty dry air mass, especially inland in the east bay. but we have some fog. you see a shallow layer of it out there. and mostly sunny but we have a five mile visibility from half moon bay. this fog is not going to last too long. we will look for it to burn back but still have a nice sea breeze at the shoreline. live doppler 7hd this morning. not picking up much in the way

of low clouds and fog and motrin speak of. in fact we will be talking a lot of heat, especially today. and there is an area of low pressure, a trough that will bring the temperatures back into a little more comfortable range tomorrow. not a dramatic cool down, though. this morning three degrees cooler in half moon bay but everywhere else from 2 to 11 trees warming, especially out toward antioch. numbers in the 50s closer to the bay. 60 concord, 62 livermore with the clear skies down toward los gatos and a few clouds around monterey bay. for the most part clear away from the coast. hot this weekend. we will still have some 90s tomorrow but on the upper end of the 90s today. mid-90s tomorrow, and look for more dramatic cooling as we bet into tuesday and wednesday. then temperatures will edge up a little bit after that. we do have a trough to the north and west of us, but today not allowing for much of a sea breeze. it's a big ridge that will be

expanding from the nation's midsection and with that you will notice pretty colorful here with the temperature profile with lots of dark red and that means the 90s moving on in from the central valley. with the upper 60s along the santa clara region. so getting pretty warm here and a few 90s around cloverdale well far to the north. but we will hold on to the 60s at the coast. yesterday 68 half moon bay. so this is the culprit. by tomorrow this trough will slide a little bit further south. that increases the low clouds and fog and a sea breeze is a little more generous. we will look for more cooling around the bay the second half of the weekend. temperatures todd wellemeyer into the upper 90s in yosemite. look for 82 in tahoe. so pretty nice weather there. a few extra clouds around sunday in the northern sierra. 71 in big sur with 101 in sacramento. we will look for temperatures around the bay then about 80 in the city. 74 san francisco.

97 in concord. and in vallejo today jazz festival, looking good for that. down around the monterey bay there is santa cruz, a boardwalk motorcycle ride so that should be interesting. 82 santa cruz. 92 in hollister. we will look for temperatures then to really be quite toasty from the try valley and around the bay. tomorrow just a little bit of cooling if you like the cooler we will expand that into the inland valleys tuesday and wednesday and still a little bit below average from thursday and friday. the average should be around 90 inland. can't quite get there, above or below. >> not only do you know you have your finger on these events going on lout the bay area. are you going to do the motorcycle thing tonight? >> i don't know.
