>> and that breaking news is in the south bay. san jose police found the bold of a woman in a home after a 911 hangup call. >> the police are asking for help in solving this case. body was found in a house in the 6100 block in evangeline drive in san jose. >> the police here in san jose have not yet identified the victim. but they say that based on the trauma to the body, this is a homicide and the victim is a woman. police tell us that a married couple live in the home.

but another female relevant is also associated with the address. the police got a 911 hangup call from the address at 5:30 this morning but did not arrive at the home until much later, because there were other priority calls keeping the limited resources busy. >> by the time it was in the district, the supervisor acknowledged there was a call pending here. there were four midnight officers working, and they were responding to a rash of auto thefts, and they were in progress, and a couple of the vehicles crashed into the vehicles and they had to make sure that nobody was hurt in those accidents. >> now, the police don believe that the car thefts are in any way related to the homicide. but they did keep the officers from responding to the crime scene more quickly, with the 911 hangup. animal control had to be called

out for two dogs in the home. the woman's body was discovered in the entryway at 8:00 this morning. so right now the police are here, interviewing the neighbors and trying to get the identity of the victims, and also locate anybody else that leved in that home. this is san jose's 48th homicide for the year, it surpasses all of last year. >> all right, karina, and thank you very much. we have more from san jose where firefighters have just contained a home on rockwood drive. they were alerted to the fire just after 10:00 this morning. the fire spread to another home next door which was partially damaged. the neighbors have had problems with squatters in the home in the last months. and it's under investigation. in the last hour, president obama made his first public

comments from the white house. he said that the most vulnerable americans must not bear the burden in reducing the deficit. >> and the president is ready to compromise, and he has called the congressional leaders to the white house next week to talk about the ticking fiscal time bomb. but one thing that has not changed, the republicans and democrats can look at the same report and come up with different conclusions. he said that it would push the unemployment by 9%. in his speech this morning, president obama maintains that tax increases of people earning more than $200,000 a year are part of the solution. >> the most hurtful consequences of the fiscal clip come from increasing tax rates. ernst and young raising the top

rates would destroy -- >> i'm not going to ask students and seniors and middle class families to pay down the entire deficit, where people like me, making over $250,000, are not asked to pay a dime more taxes. >> you saw house speaker, john boehner, there and he called the taxes a job killer. >> hurtful consequences of the fiscal clip come from increasing tax rates. ernst and young, raising the top rates would destroy nearly 700,000 jobs in our country. >> you would think there was a huge gam here, but what the budget report says is extending the bush era tax for everyone, what the republicans want, would create 8.1 million jobs, and increasing taxes on people making $250,000 a year would lower taxes for everyone else,

but boost the gdp by 3% and create 6 million jobs. and the president said that's a 1 point difference, but conservatives say that that translates into a lot of jobs, and it's a big deal. we'll come back to you. >> all right, take a look outside and it looks nice right now, but it's wild weather around the bay area. rain and wind and even snow in the area overnight. looking at the hail that came down in the east bay, france, lightning knocked out power to an entire neighborhood. and amy has more. >> we're at 24th and fountain perfect a lot of people were woken up in the middle of the night. and a lot of people shaking their heads and saying, this is a wild one. the first winter storm of the
