the center's in-house police department. last september the director of the center received a message on his answering machine. the anonymous caller said someone had a stun gun and was using it on patients. >> the man was identified as psychiatric technician assistant archie malora. he worked at the center nearly 14 years. documents from the investigation reveal that officers confronted malora the day after the phone call. they found the taser in his car and a loaded semiautomatic pistol plus a separate magazine with live rounds. he was placed on administrative leave but was never arrested. a subsequent probe by the state public health department reveals that nurses examined and photographed patients in his care. they found suspicious abrasions on the buttocks, thigh, arm and back of twelve people. a forensic pathologist concluded that the marks were strongly suggestive of electrical thermal

burns consistent with a taser. all of the reported victims have extreme difficulty communicating. but when questioned, one patient puttered the words "stun" and malora's name. the incident report identified him as staff a. malora was eventually fired. we tried to talk to malora but he did not respond to our request for an interview. court records show in april malora pleaded no contest to maryland possession of a loaded firearm. he got probation and a $190 fine in lieu of jail time. but malora was never charged with a reported taser assaults. charges that, if convicted, could have given him serious prison time. we may never know why because our request for interviews from officials from the center and office of protective services were denied. with so much controversy surrounding the in-house police department, we also wanted to

know why it didn't ask for help from more seasoned investigators from the sonoma county sheriff's office. a spokesman for the state developmental services department sent us a statement saying the sheriff's office made the determination not to intercede. but the sheriff's department told us we offered to assist in their investigation but we were told they didn't need our help. miller believes an outside law enforcement agency should be called in to investigate major crimes at the developmental center. she can't believe there's been no arrests. >> it's devastating to the families. you have to let people know that we are serious about this. that's how you prevent further abuse. >> now the d. a.'s office told us they only went after malora on the gun charge because the office of protective services never referred the taser assaults for criminal prosecution. but again, the d. a. tells us they have received additional information and they will begin reviewing the taser case. vic lee, abc7 news.

cheryl. >> vic, i know you will be following this story. thank you. medical marijuana supporters took to the streets today to protest the closer of two san francisco dispensaries. dozens turned out to protest the closer of the vapor room. it was closed yesterday after they received lessors from the justice department warning ever property seizures and criminal charges if they remained open. and they are saying their rights are dying in san francisco. >> they are sending patients to the illicit market instead of safe, investigated facilities for their medicine. >> ate san francisco dispenries have closed. >> the city auditor report found the oakland police department purchased crime fighting tech nothing, including a camera

system and gunfire detection system, equipment that cost $2 million and was never used. nick smith joins us live in oakland. nick. >> larry, cheryl, good afternoon. chief jordan grease money was wasted. what is in dispute is the amount. most of the items were in place before he was chief officer. but he said the buck stops with me, and he is not shifting blame. >> there's always room for improvement. >> oakland police chief howard jordan and i. t. director gordon responded to an audit have credit sizes the department for wasting money on equipment that was barely used and in some cases not used at all. >> we have every intention of looking at every recommendation and doing whatever we can to comply with those recommendations. >> most of the equipment and policies were put in place prior to jordan becoming chief in february of this year. but the audit claims the department was hemorrhaging cash

since 2006, always trying to get more for less. >> you need quality as well as the lowest bids. >> in most cases the audit suggests it was the former that was missing. three of the companies hired to provide services, equipment or both went out of business, leaving the department with a lot of stuff they couldn't use, service or update. also in the audit more research on equipment before buying. a police department that kept shoddy inventory records and no oversights of technology systems. that led to taxpayer dollars down the drain. i think you have to not only go for the price but you have to actually go for who has the ability to make this happen. >> the audit also went after shot spotter, the system that allows police to track gunfire, saying it had been underutilized, a claim the police flatly denies. >> it is one of the main ways we use to respond to and investigate over 624,000 calls for service each year.

>> a review and another distraction for a career office who are wants attention focused on the progress the department has made under his leadership. >> it is frustrating. i would like to have at least one week where we are fighting crime and doing things i signed up to do 24 years ago. but as far as being a chief in a big city, it's part of it. >> one more hit to the department and in just the last 30 minutes i learned from the president of the oakland police officer association that on sunday the radio system once again went out completely. not only creating a dangerous situation but, quote, leaving police officers with the only means of communication being their personal cell phone. in oakland, nick smith, abc7 news. >> nick, thanks very much. san francisco police tried to explain today why officers failed to search a homeless man's car after he admitted to having a rifle and shotgun in it. officers encountered robert johns at least twice in a little more than a month. the first time he surrendered guns. police placed him in psychiatric

care but they never searched his car. officers ended up arresting him july 22nd. and they took a sawed-off shotgun, 14 knives and more than 5800 rounds of ammunition in his car. >> i think it's serious enough we are very happy we got all this weaponry off the street. and i know in light of what went on in colorado a few weeks ago that there's a lot of people making that connection. we don't know that we have such a connection. >> the chief said he stands behind the decision not to search johns car in june even though the police had probable cause to do so. investigators believed he planned to sell at least one of those guns. johns remains in custody >> supporters of the chick-fil-a fast-food restaurant have come out by the hundreds to eat a meal and show their support for the company's president after he took a public stance against same-sex marriage. sky 7hd was overhead as a line formed out the chick-fil-a in fairfield. it's the only chick-fil-a in the

those in line say they were just expressing their beliefs. >> i gay woman can marry any gay man she wants. marriage is between one man and one woman. doesn't matter if they are both gay or not. >> as you can see behind me, there is still some people standing in front of the store. but it closed about 5:30 this evening. they frankly ran out of food. they say they have never had that happen before. they were handing out coupons for people who wanted to come back and come back they will this friday. supporters of same-sex marriage say they are planning their own demonstration. i don't know if they will be running out of food on friday, but they are promising to be here in fairfield. mark matthews, abc7 news. >> mark, thank you. and a counter protest today in san jose. supporters of same-sex marriage protested outside this restaurant set to hope next month. and that protest on headquarters drive on friday that mark told you the same-sex couples across

>> we are continuing to follow the breaking news in southern california with firefighters are battling a wildfire. this is in riverside county. you are looking at a live picture. this is a fire that at one point was estimated at 200 ache speakers we believe ballooned to 400 acres sometime this afternoon. this area here is pretty much a mop-up action. this is being called the volcano fire. it gutted at least two homes and you can see this is video from earlier. >> broke out just about before 11:30 this morning. it started early but then the winds picked up. they are trying to get it contained so it wouldn't spread. they are asking some residents to voluntarily evacuate. we don't have reports of injuries. containment has just been downgraded from 20 to 10%. full containment isn't expected until tomorrow even though it looks as it is out. we saw a lot of flames there so

they have a lot of work throughout the night. and there is no cause on that fire. in the meantime here at home firefighters are investigating the cause of a early morning fire that destroyed a house. they arrived and found the home completely engulfed in flames but crews were not able to get close because of a downed power line right in front of the house. they had to wait for pg&e to cut the power so they could battle the flames inside the home. two elderly women were able to escape. family members say they plan to rebuild. >> it's been in my family a long time. they built the house. there may be no house but all the memories are here and we will take what we can. >> amazingly the flames did not destroy old family pictures. residents recently cut the brush back from the home and that kept the flames from spreading into the nearby trees. >> fairfield police mope somebody will come forward and identify the prank center that

set you have an early morning explosion. there was a call about a blast around 6:15 p.m.. police discovered the remnants of a plastic koda bottle. they found a second bottle filled with a chemical mixture that might have exploded. it's the latest in a series of similar pranks in fairfield. >> sometimes they turn out to be teenagers or younger people looking for something to do. unfortunately it's extremely dangerous. when the device is detonated it throws debris for sometimes hundreds ever feet. >> now nobody was hurt. explosives experts point out that someone could be seriously hurt by flying plastic fragments. the bomb squad disposed of that second unexploded bottle. >> tonight we have a follow-up to an i-team investigation in a county from last week. residents of pen grove have been complaining about the goat and the junk on their neighbor's property on cold springs road.

with their calls went unanswered by government officials are, they called the abc7 news i-team and they are finally getting results. there's been a plea agreement that owners agree to remove the goat by today or risk the county taking them away. well, the i-team was at the house and the sonoma animal control officers went to the property, expected to remove more than 50 goats and other animals, but the goats were gone. the couple who live at the property moved them to an unknown location. they removed one lama left behind by the owners. >> the new sense was just too great. the fact they got rid of them, that's great. i hope they keep them, keep them in good health and keep them confined. >> i think it's wonderful. maybe we will get back to normal again. maybe we will live in a nice area again. >> the goats may be gone but there is still a lot of junk left on the property. neighbors hope the next step is removing what's left. >> time to check the forecast. we talked about we might be head toward triple digits.

>> the last couple days we had inland highs in the upper 90s and a couple places topped 99 yesterday. that's as close as you you can get without hitting 100. here's a live view from our high definition east bay camera. looking westward you see the marine layer stacking up at the coastline and spilling locally through the golden gate. it's not making any significant push out over the bay although it may do that tonight. let's go to live doppler 7 hd. here's the coastal fog and low clouds. here's a different angle, another look at it. you see it reaching from the golden gate along the san francisco county, san mateo county along santa cruz county as well. let me show you the sharp contrast between conditions at the coast and half moon bay. 54 degrees, which is pretty cool. relative humidity 100% and it's overcast with the low clouds and fog. meanwhile in the inland east bay at livermore, sunny skies. it's very warm. 86 degrees right now in

coastline. much like today. similar pattern. it's what we've seen all week long. the high temperatures ranging from 60s at the coast to 80s and 90s in our inland locations. in the south it will be sunny and warm with highs mainly in the low to mid-80s. 82 cupertino, 85 campbell. on the pensens law, 79 palo alto and 80 mountain view. low 60s on the coast and patchy fog and pacifica half moon bay. downtown san francisco high of 67. 61 in the sunset district. night and warm across the north bay. and calistoga 88. santa rosa 86 and napa. east bay highs 73. oakland 77. union city 78. hot again tomorrow with mid-90s in many locations. 95 antioch and livermore and fairfield. here's the accuweather seven-day forecast. temperatures drop off a few degrees on friday but a lot more over the weekend with inland

standing in front ever a a building. a 27-year-old victim died at the scene with a gunshot to the head. the other 53-year-old was shot in the chest and taken to the hospital. he's expected to survive. >> whatever needs to talk to whoever to decide that this needs to stop, that's what needs to blow this thing out. in the meantime, we will be out there trying to save them from themselves. >> last night's shooting comes after a double homicide on burr avenue monday where two men were shot after a brawl in broad daylight. an 18-year-old connected to burr avenue was found dead in diamond heights sunday morning. he said those are cases of a gang imploding against itself. >> just a couple weeks ago they were friends. they were all within the same gang, if you will. and now all of a sudden four of them have been killed since saturday. >> it's like cancer in remission. it goes away, but the cells that created it are still there so the gangs are still there.

>> police commissioner and boy's club founder joe martinez shall said the homicide rate was holding steady for the past three years and he calls this week's shooting an outbreak. >> i don't want to sound like doom and gloom because it can be overcome but it's just you have to know what else to control, what other risk factors to alcohol. >> this neighbor is gloomy and worn-out from all the deaths. >> a lot of good people here. it's a multi-diverse neighborhood but it ain't going to be that way, it will be a graveyard real quick. >> and there were ten gang related homicides in this same neighborhood in june. abc7 news. >> wow. well, more than 60,000 customers now have rooftop solar panels that supply electricity to their homes and businesses along with pg&e and the power grid at well. >> but one homeowner said he's giving away too much power for free. 7 on your side's michael finney

has his story. free? not good. >> free when it's coming to you, not good when it's going back. this is a complaint that has rip he would through the state and into sacramento. many homeowners taking advantage of bright sun light are pumping out more energy than they are currently using but they are then practically giving away their surplus and that's very upset to go one man who spend 18 grand for his solar panels. >> the reason i got them was because of this pitch that they have on going green, number one. >> 92-year-old harry is talking about the solar panels he installed on the roof of his petaluma home. 18 in all. they get so much sunshine around here, harry is often generating more electricity than he uses. >> i would like a little bit of the independence. >> he does get independence on this summer day you can see his electric meter running steadily backwards. that means he's sending electricity on to the pg&e power grid instead of taking it off

the grid. harry received a $94 credit on his electric bill for june alone. it all seemed terrific. that is until harry received his year-end electric statement from pg&e. >> it doesn't seem fair to me. they are taking what i generate and selling it someplace else. >> here's why he's upset. it's harry's annual true-up statement that tells him how many electricity he generated and how much he used during the 12 previous months. it shows he used more power during the winter months than he supplied, while in the summer he put out more electricity than he used. all totaled up, he generated 310 more kill watts than he used over the course of a year. he ended up with a credit of 207ed dollars 98 cents. however, harry found out he won't get that $279. and he won't get the credit either. but he will get $10.00 and 35

cents. >> it comes to the end of the year and i'm showing a $200 plus credit, and i get ten dollars something for it. where is all the rest of it going? >> harry called 7 on your side and we checked into exactly what happened to his credit? >> the program is not designed to help customers make money. the program is designed to help customers reduce their electric bill. >> that's lindsay palo of pg&e. she points out the solar power rules are all guided by a 1995 state law. here it is. public utilities code 2827. it created what is called net energy metering. it lets homeowners receive credit on their electricity bills for energy they send to the grid. if they use more power than they generate, they must pay the difference at the end of one year. however, if they supply more energy than they use, their credit is actually wiped out. no rolling over.

it's just gone. >> once a year their bill is reconciled in what we call a true-up, and what that means is any outstanding charges are owed and any remaining credit is zeroed out. >> harry said it doesn't seem fair that he gave away his extra energy to the power company. however, pg&e says the law intended only to let homeowners generate as much power as they use, not to become mini power plants. >> under the net metering legislation, customers are required to size their systems to their annual usage. >> the state public utilities commission declined an on-camera interview for this story and referred us back to pg&e, saying it is their customer and their issue. the california energy commission says it lacks jurisdiction over the net energy metering program. so harry is left without a credit, though he did get that $10.35. so why that amount?

turns out other homeowners complained about giving away surplus energy, too. now a new state law does provide a small payment to homeowners for their extra energy. it's paid at a wholesale rate set by the state p. u. c.. that rate is now about three cents per kilowatt-hour based on current spot market prices. consumers are not entitled to be paid the full retail rate for their surplus electricity under the law. harry had a hard time seeing this until we showed it to him. still, it didn't make it happy. >> don't say i have a credit and then tell me i don't have a credit. that's what started the whole thing. >> harry is also upset because pg&e charges him about $12 per month for distribution of electricity and other charges he thought were included in his credit. we reported that to the state p. u. c. and it has agreed to investigate. i will report back. also, we will be talking to the

state law maker who wants solar power customers to get paid more for their surplus electricity. that report is coming back, too. we will keep reporting. >> i'm with harry on this one. i like him, 92 and razor sharp. >> he is. >> thank you. >> sure. >> still ahead, news like you have never seen it before. >> next, a high-tech update to a legendary musical now [ male announcer ] now at your neighborhood subway: dinner...is...served. tonight, take it easy and enjoy your favorite soup, salad and hot, hearty sub. like the toasty big hot pastrami melt. get to your local subway for some dinnertime deliciousness tonight. subway. eat fresh. want to start the day with something heart healthy and delicious?
