a tense situation for students at a fremont high school. sky 7 hd overhead as armed officers lead the teen agers out of irvington high school after reports of a suspicious person with a gun on campus. good afternoon. i'm dan ashley. larry beil is off. >> i'm ama daetz. abc 7 news reporter laura anthony is live near the school where parents are picking up their children. >> reporter: we are just right across the street from irvington high school. as we speak, there are buses leaving with some of the kids, being taken to the district office, but others are being allowed to walk across the street at some point. so far, police have not located a suspicious person and there have been no injuries reported. now, this is what it looked like

from sky 7 hd a short time ago, as police surrounded the school. some of them even taking positions on the roof as students and staff were on lockdown inside the classrooms. at one point, police even went from classroom to classroom, checking for a suspect. this all started at about 12:45 today, after reports that an adult possibly armed was on campus. police have not confirmed what many parents here have heard, that the person was in some way connected to a burglary off campus. now, besides irvington, three other schools were also placed on lockdown for a time, including hirsch elementary. >> we were on lockdown for almost two hours. >> reporter: what does lockdown mean? >> lockdown means like you have to -- you lock the doors and shut the lights off and everybody has to get under their desks so nobody can see you. they come on your campus. >> scary. scary. because you don't know what's happening. you don't know, i mean, there's a lot of kids go to school

there. we have heard somebody's on the campus with a gun. any parent would be nervous. >> reporter: now, parents have been getting e-mails from the district, many of them on their smartphones. there is still some confusion about what's going on. some students are being bussed to the district office which is about two and a half miles from here. others will at some point be released here near the school. this is what it looks like live out here right now. you can see a lot of folks gathered on the corner here. grimmer, i believe. school is just right across the street there. we have seen kids being loaded on to buses. we have seen kids walking casually around the campus and again, at this point, no reports from the police that they have actually found a suspect on campus. in fremont, laura anthony, abc 7 news. >> thank you. health officials are flying 29-year-old health care worker amber vinson to atlanta for treatment. she is the second hospital

worker to be infected with ebola after treating a liberian man who died of that disease last week at a hospital in dallas. the cdc says vinson was diagnosed yesterday, just a day after flying from cleveland to dallas. frontier airlines says it is working with the cdc to contact all 132 passengers on her flight and has now canceled all future scheduled flights on that decontaminated plane. a short time ago, the president updated the nation tempering the urgent need to control the disease with words of reassurance. >> i want people to understand that the dangers of you contracting ebola, the dangers of a serious outbreak are extraordinarily low. but we are taking this very seriously at the highest levels of government. >> vinson is now on her way to emory hospital in atlanta. officials say she is very ill but stable. abc news reporter marcy gonzalez has an update. >> reporter: a second dallas

nurse now battling ebola. amber vinson coming down with a fever yesterday, driving herself here to this same hospital where she as well as nurse nina pham contracted the virus while treating the ebola patient who died here last week. >> what we have been doing here today is reviewing exactly what we know about what's happened in dallas and how we are going to make sure that something like this is not repeated. >> reporter: vinson and pham part of a team of 77 people who cared for thomas eric duncan, all being monitored, but their travel not restricted. something the head of the cdc says may have been a mistake, after learning that vinson was on a plane monday, traveling on frontier airlines from cleveland to dallas, just one day before she started showing symptoms. >> it's definitely very concerning. >> reporter: the head of the cdc addressing those concerns today, saying there was little risk to other passengers. >> what we're putting into place, extra margins of safety. that's why we're contacting everyone who was on that flight.

>> reporter: vinson's neighbors also contacted. her home and apartment complex where she lives alone being decontaminated as health officials continue looking into how she and pham were infected despite wearing protective gear. still concerned that some of the other health care workers who cared for duncan and are now on administrative leave could also have ebola. vinson is heading to emory university hospital in atlanta. it has a biocontainment unit specialized to treat ebola patients. for now, we are told pham will continue being cared for here. marcy gonzalez, abc news, dallas. california officials are addressing concerns about how the state is prepared if the virus spreads here. the public health department says their priority is to make sure all californians are safe. they say the highest level of risk is for health care workers who are treating a patient with ebola but the general public is safe. they also say there are no concerns about travel since ebola is not spread through the air. there are currently no cases of

ebola in california. nurses across the country and here in the bay area want more training as concerns of this ebola outbreak increase. >> coming up on abc 7 news at 5:00, what some nurses in northern california are demanding from hospitals. >> so many people are concerned about it. we have posted a detailed list of seven things you need to know about this virus including its origin, symptoms and how it is transmitted. that's at abc7news.com. we are now about an hour away from the first pitch of game four between the giants and cardinals. the last game was a thriller and fans are all ready for another win but seeing the game in person comes at a high price, between just tickets and parking, your wallet is going to take a big hit. abc 7 news reporter wayne freedman is live at at & t park with the story. >> reporter: there's a price for the giants to head to the national league championship series. you are paying for it.

$78 for standing room only. if you want to sit behind the dugout, $1500. and parking, let's just put it this way. if you own a parking lot in san francisco, your orange has turned green. you are looking at one of the happiest men in san francisco this afternoon, even if he didn't sound like it. >> $40? unbelievable. we are not used to these rates. >> reporter: mike, a cardinals fan, paid $40 to park half a mile from the stadium and feels as if he got a deal. same with john. what's up with that, it's only four times the regular rate. >> i'm kind of used to it. i come to a couple games a year. it's part of the drill. i wish it wasn't so expensive, but that's just the way it is. >> reporter: ever think maybe they have you trained? >> it's possible. >> reporter: it's supply and demand. near the stadium, the official price is $40 but fans who sold their prepaid tickets are getting $150. experts say we have yet to reach a peak. >> the world series will be $200, $250 apiece.

>> reporter: mr. ticket, a business that used to sell just seats, has now expanded to parking. >> any day that's a weekday day game, people don't understand the businesses take up half the lots out there and there's very few spaces for parking. that's why parking was so big yesterday. >> reporter: it's just a matter of supply and demand. if you get to the embarcadero early enough, special event metered parking goes up to $28 for four hours. unless you're lucky like kate and emily from skacramento, you won't believe what they paid. >> through midnight, $12.04. >> reporter: how did you get so lucky? >> we're not sure. >> reporter: in one case it wasn't supply and demand. supply and demand. supply and demand. how many times can we say this? supply and demand. st. louis, supply and demand is slightly different. those fans are extremely upset over the high prices they are paying for parking. their highest, $40. at at & t park in san francisco, wayne freedman, abc 7 news.

>> thank you, wayne. giants fans, we want to see your team spirit. you can e-mail your fan photos to kgo-tv.com or tweet them to us. well, we have rain coming our way this week. >> that's right. spencer christian is here with an accuweather update. >> our supply of rain is far short of the demand. we are hoping for more. live doppler 7 hd shows lots of clouds over the bay area but the rain has virtually ended but rainfall totals in some locations were fairly impressive. san rafael received .35 inch of rain in the last 24 hours, nearly .09 at mount st. helena. only traces of rain around the bay shoreline and into the south bay. this was truly a minor rain event for most the bay area. here's a live view from emeryville camera looking at some blue but lots of clouds as well. 65 degrees in san francisco. 71 san jose. morgan hill, 73. 60 at half moon bay. here's the view from the rooftop

see if there are any lessons to learn about lowering firefighting danger. two suspects are in custody in connection to the violent beating and home invasion robbery of an elderly couple. the couple told abc 7 news suspects befriended them on friday, september 12th, then returned the next day, attacked them and made off with a safe. the suspects are both transients. police arrested them yesterday with help from a u.s. marshal service task force. the napa earthquake in august is certainly a reminder that we live in earthquake country and with that risk every day. but are you prepared? tomorrow is the annual great shakeout earthquake drill which helps californians learn and practice what it takes to be prepared when an earthquake hits. we got a look at a big one in this earthquake simulator today. officials with the usgs say it's important because another big quake could happen at any time. >> the most likely fault to produce large earthquake is probably the hayward fault. we think there's about a 20%

chance it will produce large earthquake over 30 years. the magnitude of that earthquake is probably going to be somewhere between 6.5, 7.0. >> in other words, a big quake. experts say the most important thing to do when an earthquake hits is drop, cover and hold on as you can see in this example. protect your head. that's critical. before the quake, secure items that could come crashing down on top of you like bookcases and televisions. 25 years ago this friday, the devastating 6.9 loma prieta earthquake hit the bay area. join abc 7 news anchor cheryl jennings on abc 7 friday night at 6:30 as we take a look back at the 1989 quake with a special report, 15 seconds, 25 years later, the loma prieta earthquake. stay right here. still ahead on abc 7 news at 4:00, today's test flight of a state of the art medical helicopter in san francisco. it could be a game changer. also, the east bay school district that sent spoiled mac and cheese out to several of its schools. new at 4:30, the

a young girl is alive thanks to an act of heroism in oregon

over the weekend. bystanders formed a human chain to save the girl who was swept off her feet by large waves at fogert state park southwest of portland. >> if it wasn't for those two guys going out there to help to bring it in and those other three extending their arms, that girl would have surely died. i'm impressed with these kids for at least being able to help themselves. >> quick thinking. the coast guard also had to pull several people to safety who had become stuck on some rocks nearby. san francisco may get its first helipad in decades. the children's hospital at mission bay flight tested its medevac helicopter with simulated drills. >> abc 7 news reporter vic lee was there and is live now from the hospital. >> reporter: that helipad we're talking about is right atop that

green colored building with the big ucsf sign. when it's operational, helicopters will be able to land there with critically ill children and pregnant women from other hospitals. this, after all, is the regional referral center for those patients in northern california, so that helipad may make the difference in saving lives. the first clinical test flight of ucsf's medevac helicopter went well. the chopper performed a series of takeoffs and landings, testing three different flight paths. when it landed atop ucsf mission bay's main building, pediatric staff unloaded a doll dressed up like a critically ill newborn on to a stretcher. in real life, a pediatric neonatal nurse will travel in the helicopter, treating the child or pregnant mother as soon as they leave the referring hospital, when ucsf gets the call the chopper will take off from its base in oakland within 15 minutes. >> they are very, very critically ill so time really is of the essence when a referring

hospital calls and needs to have our services. >> reporter: when ucsf children's hospital opens in february, this will be the only operational medical helipad in san francisco. in fact, pilots we spoke with say there have been no helipads in the city for at least two decades. san francisco police stopped using its helicopters in the '90s, after two officers were killed when its chopper crashed. opposition by neighborhood groups to increase noise levels also became a roadblock. without a hospital helipad, patients have had to be flown to sfo and other landing spots outside the city, then transported by ambulance to hospitals here. but ucsf got final approval to build its helipad from san francisco supervisors six years ago. as for noise, tests show the level would be comparable to that of street traffic and construction. if there are problems, ucsf says it will pay for soundproofing. >> a consultant makes

recommendations about soundproofing and we will pay for those soundproofing measurements for qualified homeowners. >> reporter: after today's test flights, ucsf says all systems are go. vic lee, abc 7 news. parents are being warned about a problem with a school lunch this week that may make some kids sick. the school district sent this letter home to parents yesterday, explaining that cafeteria workers detected a foul smell of rotten milk coming from the macaroni and cheese. the meals were prepared at prescott school and distributed to other campuses. >> we were able to get in touch with most of the school sites before they served the meals. unfortunately, there were some school sites that had presented the food to kids and had some kids consume the macaroni and cheese. >> so far, no students have reported stomach problems from eating the mac and cheese. oakland unified says the problem was caused by kitchen staff that didn't let the meals cool to proper temperature before packaging them. let's talk about the rain

that's bouncing around the bay area. >> we want to see lots more. >> hoping for lots more. i don't know how much more we will get. looks like minor rain system's coming our way over the next several days. that helps a little bit. live doppler 7 hd showing clouds lingering over the bay area after some overnight and early morning showers. we didn't have heavy showers for much of the bay area but some locations up in the north bay got a generous dose of rainfall. we have a beach hazard statement in effect through the afternoon for the north coast, north bay coast, peninsula coast, monterey bay, all the beaches basically. fast-moving waves, possible strong rip currents and west-northwest facing beaches are the ones that are most seriously affected. here's a view from the east bay hills camera looking towards mount diablo. quite a few clouds in the sky. these are the forecast features. high clouds and sun tomorrow, chance of showers or rain again in the north bay late friday into early saturday, then our next chance of rain after that will be monday. so we do have a series of potential rain-making systems coming our way as you see on the

satellite image. still an active storm track with partly cloudy skies for tomorrow. no rain expected tomorrow. to follow, we do have this next system that will bring our next chance of rainfall late friday. let's start the forecast animation friday morning at 5:00, at which point it will be cloudy, then we will see the rain beginning to approach the bay area, pushing into the north bay by midday, and then beyond that, we will see little spotty shower activity into saturday morning. more concentrated area of rain developing along the coastline early saturday, and that will push on through and by med day saturday, we should see the rain breaking up and skies becoming at least partly sunny. so on we go. to what's happening in the tropical pacific. we have tropical storm ana which is likely to become a hurricane in the next few hours as it moves towards the big island of hawaii, where it's expected to make a direct hit. if it stays on this path on friday, and then continue on to hit honolulu on saturday. we will keep monitoring this for you, hope it veers off that course.

back to the bay area, look for partly cloudy skies, low temperatures mainly in the upper 50s. tomorrow, we will see high temperatures ranging from mid 60s, low to mid 60s at the coast to upper 60s and low 70s right around the bay to low to mid 70s in the inland areas. here's the accuweather seven day forecast. once again, next chance of rain will be late friday into early saturday. then a mainly sunny couple of afternoons over the weekend and then there's another chance of rain developing late monday into early tuesday and that will also give way to mainly sunny skies late tuesday into wednesday. rather unsettled pattern although particularly identifiable trend developing right now. >> thank you, spencer. coming up next, a teenager's dying wish to help other children in his neighborhood. how the community is now honoring him. new after 4:30, the bizarre allergy that this rescue dog insurance companies are spending millions of dollars trying to mislead you about the effects of proposition 46. well here's the truth:

the field. >> make-a-wish donated $2,000 to add asphalt walkways between each field to make it easier for the disabled or elderly to make it into the stands to cheer. now to go along with the painting of him that is now at the park, a local commission is working to rename the field after martin. >> wonderful. people in a small pennsylvania town are still buzzing over the heartwarming accomplishment by justin oligewski last saturday night. the ninth grader with special needs got to suit up with his brother and serve as honorary captain for his high school football team. not only that, he was allowed to carry the ball into the end zone to score a symbolic touchdown much to the delight of the hometown fans and the opposing team as well. >> awesome. >> yeah, it is. just ahead on abc 7 news at 4:00, the status of some unhealthy horses in the south bay and why activists say authorities are not holding up their end. also, the warning going out to parents of trick or treaters in colorado, all because of a new state law. and let it flow.

here are your headlines at 4:30. right now, excitement is building and the giants want you to be part of it as they take on the cardinals at at & t park in about a half hour. the giants sent out this tweet

you see here, asking fans at yesterday's playoff game to tag themselves in this panoramic shot. the team rushed to the field after their 5-4 win against st. louis last night. they are gearing up for another celebration hopefully tonight. abc 7 sports reporter will bring us a live report in just a few minutes. a short time ago, president obama addressed the nation about the spread of ebola in the u.s. the white house provided facts on the disease in this tweet. the president says though the risk to the general public is low, more must be done to contain ebola. abc 7 news' twitter feed has the seven signs and symptoms of the disease at abc 7 news bay area. parents in colorado are being told to look out for marijuana in candy this halloween, all because of the state's new pot laws. denver police have released a public service announcement alerting parents about the potential trick or treating risk. the announcement features a marijuana merchant describing some of the products he has on his shelves and how easily that medical pot can be mistaken for

a piece of candy. >> problem is some of these products look so similar to candy that's been on the market that we have eaten as children that there's really no way for a child or parent or anybody, even an expert in the field, to tell you whether or not a product is infused or not. >> authorities say the threat is rare but real. last year, some kids in canada ended up in the emergency room after eating lollypops laced with synthetic marijuana. officials say parents should inspect all candy and kids should never eat anything from a homemade bag. giants fans are packing in to at & t park for game four of the national league championship series. first pitch is about 30 minutes away. the team's post season play has been that sweet torture we have come to expect. the g-men are up two games to one against the st. louis cardinals. it was an error in extra innings yesterday that gave the giants that big win. abc 7 news sports reporter colin resh is live outside the ballpark. lot of excitement, lot of anticipation. can we do it again tonight?

>> reporter: we certainly hope they can do it again tonight. the fans filing in right now hoping that they don't have to rely on another walk-off throwing error tonight in game four. they would like to get an early lead and then extend it, if preferable. giants taking batting practice about two hours ago, looking loose and relaxed. loose because they have all the confidence in the world in ryan vogelsong, who takes the mound tonight. he pitched solid in the giants' closeout victory over the nationals in game four of the nlds. his post season success goes back to 2012 when he went 3-0 in the giants world series run. now 37 years old, he cherishes these big game moments. >> you can't replace the way it feels, to pitch in the playoffs. it's what you play your whole life for when you're growing up in the backyard. your whole little league, high school, college, minor leagues, they're all exciting. they all bring a little bit different emotion, depending on the game and the situation.

so it's going to be intense. >> ryan is a bulldog. every time he's on the mound we have a lot of confidence just because he has come up big in big spots, going back to past post seasons and even this one against washington, he threw very well. every time he's on the mound we will get a very good performance from him. >> reporter: command of the series is there for the taking. can the giants take advantage? we certainly hope so. another note, there is already one team in the world series. the kansas city royals just finished off the baltimore orioles in a four-game sweep, 2-1. the royals, 8-0 this post season. remember, they began the post season by beating the a's. reporting live at at & t park, colin resh, abc 7 news. back to you. >> thanks, colin. animal control officers have responded twice in the past 24 hours to a horse ranch in rural santa clara county over possible animal neglect. >> it's a story we first brought you only on abc 7 news three weeks ago. now the story has shifted from

morgan hill to gilroy. >> abc 7 news reporter david louie is there with the story. david? >> reporter: well, this is one of two horse ranches owned by and operated by humberto revis. for months, neighbors have been upset that their complaints to animal control have seemingly been ignored. but now animal control has responded two days in a row. animal control officers and deputy sheriffs from santa clara county traipsed through the field where humberto revis keeps 37 horses in gilroy. they were also out here yesterday when someone spotted a horse down. these were photos of the horse posted online. the situation prompted leslie daniel to call 911. >> he couldn't get up. it was in bad shape. we knew something had to be done. we didn't know where to go from there. so we thought okay, 911. >> reporter: revis says the horse is in a vet's care. >> i will bring back that horse

today. >> reporter: is the horse okay? >> yeah. it's okay. >> reporter: six of the horses in gilroy used to live on this ranch in morgan hill, where concerned neighbors say they began complaining to county agencies as long as two years ago because of the horses' emaciated condition. it's intervention by the equine rescue center to buy several of the horses. they are being rehabilitated in san benito county. the officials would not talk to us as they left the ranch but it appears they are keeping a close watch on revis and the horses. however, that does little to appease horse lovers who say it took too long for someone to investigate. >> they have had over two years to move on this case. and i know i have complained several times. i took pictures, i submitted them to animal control and nothing was ever done. >> reporter: animal control did not respond to our request for an interview but the officers apparently had so many calls, this recorded message is played. >> in extreme cases such as this, rehabilitation does not

happen overnight. an active investigation is also under way regarding the condition of the horses when they arrive. >> reporter: david louie, abc 7 news. coming up next on abc 7 news at 4:00, nasa gets into the halloween spirit. plus, the ne animal now holds in the world. -- i didn't wear a microphone. you can contact me at facebook.com/michael finney abc 7. i will answer your questions here live with a microphone in just a little bit. i'm spencer christian. nice view from the emeryville camera looking at the western sky which contains more blue than we have seen in the last few hours. clouds are returning. i will have the accuweather forecast in just a moment. as we go to break, quick look at traffic as you take a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. look at this. everybody must already be at the giants ballpark. stay with us.

caregiver caught on nanny cam shaking a 1-year-old girl, covering the child's mouth with her hand, even swinging a child by one arm. the videos so intense, we aren't showing you them in their entirety. police say that nanny behaving badly is 34-year-old dana cash, now charged with child abuse. >> i was appalled. >> reporter: the children's mother who does not want to be identified sitting down with reporter alex michaelson from abc owned station kabc. >> i hear her screaming and crying in the video and it's terrifying. >> reporter: the mother had set up a video camera but rarely checked the tapes. it was her 8-year-old son who told her. >> he knew it was wrong and in the video, you see him, he's sitting on the couch playing with his ipod but he's paying attention to everything. >> reporter: she shows the video to the nanny herself. >> she puts her head down and says i made a mistake. i said that's not a mistake. that's not a mistake you're allowed to make. you know, she was fired.

>> reporter: she was hired through childcare.com. >> we take the safety of our community extremely seriously. we have a national team of safety professionals that review every caregiver applicant. we were not aware of any other complaints. >> reporter: she certainly isn't the first nanny in hot water. in jacksonville, florida, jeanine campbell was sentenced to eight years in prison after police say a camera caught her abusing an 11 month old baby in 2010. just last year, another care giver was sentenced to ten months in jail after slapping a 5 month old baby. care.com at these tips for parents. >> do your internet search. check references. run a comprehensive background check and continue to monitor the situation. >> reporter: in this latest tape, cash has not entered a plea and the mom thought she did everything right but didn't check that camera too often. >> you never know what happens behind closed doors.

>> the nanny is now out on bail and could potentially apply for another job. 7 on your side's michael finney is here answering questions sent to him on facebook, twitter and e-mail. first one, who is responsible for maintaining the curbs in san francisco. a curb damaged my tire. who should i file a claim with, the city or the homeowner? >> great question. the sidewalks belong to the homeowner, the curb belongs to the city. how you file is you dial 311. that's your starting point. >> all right. emma e-mails i bought airplane tickets to travel to honduras for thanksgiving week. i am worried that ebola could spread between now and the time of traveling. is there insurance to cover this? >> if you buy it now before there's a problem at your destination. here's how travel insurance works. first of all, you've got to find one that has the disease rider on it. not all of them will. then before it will pay, the

state department has to say don't travel there because of this epidemic or pandemic. so that's two things that have to happen. the third is, you have to buy the insurance before there's a problem in that area. otherwise, they will sell you the insurance but then they won't pay. >> they won't cover that. jennifer asks via facebook can sales tax be different within the same city, 9% at one store and 9.25% in another store in san leandro. >> you got a deal at the place that was charging you a quarter percent less. the way the state law works is they do not have any obligation to charge you. they can charge you whatever they want. they have an obligation to pay the correct amount to all the governments. within one city, there cannot be more than one tax rate. within a county, there can be, because you have different cities, you have -- but within a city itself -- >> has to be the same. >> interesting. okay. thank you, michael. coming up next, under budgets and on time. >> the milestone today for one

of the bay area's largest seismic safety projects. i'm cheryl jennings in the abc 7 newsroom. new at 5:00, more fallout from controversial e-mails between pg & e and the cpuc. a surprise recusal over the san bruno pipeline investigation. and can you get a refund on a plane ticket if you are worried about ebola? michael finney has the answer next. - ( helicopter whirring ) - ( roars ) ( siren wails ) ( pop music playing ) ♪ when you're ready ♪ ready, ready, ready ♪ come and get it ♪ get it, get it ♪ when you're ready, come and get it ♪ ♪ na na na na ♪ na na na na na na na ♪ ♪ when you're ready, come and get it ♪ ♪ na na na na... female announcer: it's a great big world and it can all be yours. here and only here. ♪ come and get it.

abc 7 news is honoring hispanic heritage month. today we celebrate san francisco's mission district. this is what it looked like in 1936, when some mexican immigrants first began moving into the neighborhood. truly the start of the mission as we now know it today. we have more details on instagram at abc 7 news bay area. we talked about what's ahead this season on "nashville" and shed a little light on chip esken's past. you may recognize him from his time on another hit show, "whose line is it anyway." we talked to him about his turn from comedy to drama. >> throughout all the time i was

doing that, i was also getting to do drama as well. when you're on a show like "nashville" it is a drama but if a drama doesn't have a little bit of humor in it, if it doesn't have that sort of lightning edge to it, it doesn't work. i'm very happy to say we have that. >> catch a new episode of "nashville" tonight at 10:00. disaster training on san francisco bay. first responders received a hands-on lesson on how to save passengers from a ferry boat supposedly on fire. volunteers jumped into the water and were pulled to safety by fire and coast guard crews. officials say these kinds of drills are an invaluable tool that will prepare them to save lives in a real emergency. from a symbolic place at a symbolic time. san francisco water officials have switched on a new delivery system that carries water from the reservoir to customers in san francisco and the peninsula. the project on time and $25 million under budget.

abc 7 news reporter katie marzullo has the story. >> reporter: 80 years ago in this same spot in san mateo county, a celebration was held to mark the first time water flowed to crystal springs reservoir. today, a modern remake. >> we live in a very seismically dangerous area and to make this kind of investment ahead of a major disaster is unusual. typically we respond when there's a crisis or after a problem has occurred. >> reporter: following the quake, the san francisco public utilities commission moved to invest $4.6 billion to improve the water system. meaning rate hikes for customers in san francisco and on the peninsula. >> that investment is needed to assure the safe reliable and resilient water supply. >> reporter: this tunnel is one of the most significant projects of the 83 projects on tap. officials had two choices.

replace the aging, leaking pipes that run along the dunbarton bridge or bore a tunnel under the bay. >> we decided the tunnel because the tunnel is more seismically resistant and also it minimized the impact of the sensitive habitat and wildlife that was on the surface. >> reporter: the tunnel stretches five miles long under the bay and is the first of its kind, not to be confused with the trans-bay tube which sits on the bay floor. this video of the tunnel under construction might be the first and last time you see it. but in the event of a disaster, the water coming out of your faucet may be all the proof you need that it exists. >> people do not recognize water projects because they are invisible. so today, we are bringing the visibility to this project. >> reporter: in san mateo county, katie marzullo, abc 7 news. that is it for this edition of abc 7 news at 4:00. thank you so much for joining us. i'm ama daetz. abc 7 news at 5:00 begins right now with dan and cheryl.

students come out with their hands up. the scare that forced four schools to go on lockdown. plus -- >> there are so many chances for human error. >> on the front lines of ebola. what bay area nurses are demanding in order to do their jobs. and forget about $80 or $100 for giants parking. that will seem low compared to what happens if the team advances. i'm abc 7 news meteorologist sandhya patel. don't ditch the umbrellas just yet. more rain is coming. details on the timeline straight ahead. one by one, students raised their arms and then get frisked. police don't take any chances after reports of a possible gunman at a fremont high school. thanks for joining us. i'm cheryl jennings. >> i'm dan ashley. it all started with someone reporting seeing someone with a gun on a high school campus. abc 7 news reporter laura anthony is live in fremont with what happened next.

>> reporter: i can tell you first off, the situation here, much improved. irvington or fremont police just announced the last of the students have been cleared from the campus. in effect, it is all clear now here as far as students are concerned. we are told police will stay on hand for some time. these are some of the remaining students we saw just a few minutes ago being escorted off campus by an armed fremont police officer. some walked into the obviously relieved arms of their parents. this is what it looked like earlier this afternoon from sky 7 hd as fully armed police swarmed the area on the ground. some of them even on top of the roof of the school. the response came off reports that an armed man, an adult with a hand gun, may have gotten on to campus. he apparently was seen by a student just before 1:00. that prompted an immediate lockdown of the school and three others nearby while police looked for that possible suspect. parents were texting and calling

their kids and a short time ago, a district administrator made this announcement to parents assembled here. >> this student drove a vehicle to school. they were being escorted to their car right now. they are not allowed to go to their lockers. they will be able to get in their car and then drive home. >> i'm from the denver area. i watched columbine, you know, the whole shooting that happened. when i saw the kids with their hands on their heads here, i was like i got to go. >> reporter: when we spoke to that mother, she had not located or even heard from her son yet but she was confident that he was okay. in fact, there were no injuries that we know of. students who normally get picked up here at school were bussed to the district office which is about two and a half miles from here. so as far as we know at this point, on the irvington high school campus behind me, there are no more students. we are told that police will maintain a
