being done but investigators believe it is the gun used by francisco sanchez, the man caught later that night not far from the shooting charged with steinle's murder. sanchez is on probation in texas and has a long sheet including seven felonies. sources say he has been arrested not only in texas but oregon and washington and deported to mexico five times. ice had him in custody in march but says turned him over to the sheriff's office when they discovered he had an outstanding drug warrant but the d.a.'s office dropped the case and the sheriff's office subsequently released sanchez. in a written statement ice says it lodged an immigration detainer requesting notification prior to release so they could take him into custody again. ice says the detainer was not honored. city supervisors two years ago approved policy which would prohibit local law enforcement

from complying with federal detainers unless the person was convicted of a violent felony or other crimes such as human trafficking in the past seven years and was in custody again on a similar offense. sheriff carved out an even stricter policy which in almost all cases would require ice to go to court. >> if a court order or judicial order for review were issued of course we would honor that order or that warrant. there were none in this case. >> reporter: ice says all it wanted was the simple courtesy of being told that sanchez was going to be released. >> as you heard kathryn steinle was walking with her father when she was killed. her family is remembering kate as a kind soul. chris is live in san jose with what that family wants the world to know about their daughter and their loss. >> reporter: good evening.

the family says they are very grateful for the outpouring of support from the community. they will be following new developments in the case but they are really focused on one thing right now and that is to make sure that kate's legacy is honored. independent, assertive and beautiful inside and out, 32-year-old kate steinle loved the people who surrounded her. >> a beautiful and good person. i am so thankful for the time that we had with her and we were so close. >> reporter: nearly 48 hours after the death of their daughter liz sullivan and jim steinle were trying to come to terms with what happened. >> experiencing the horror that we experienced i have a little solace that i was with her. >> reporter: san francisco police say kate was randomly shot not far from her apartment. her father told us she didn't go down without a fight. >> she went down and she was fighting, gasping for every

breath. and she fought right up to the end. i wouldn't expect anything less from her. >> reporter: as the family tries to move forward we are learning new details about the criminal past of the accused killer and why he shouldn't have been on the street. >> i don't know that i can forgive him right now. it's really not important to us. >> reporter: what is important sharing with the community how much they cared for kate a woman who loved her job, her city and loved living life to the fullest. >> she is probably running the joint right now. that is the way she was. she was a very take charge girl. >> reporter: a family relying on faith and friendship to focus on good rather than evil. abc 7 news. >> kate's family is setting up a go fund me page to help cover cost of funeral expenses. you will find it at abc7news.com if you would like to contribute. >> her death is becoming a

rate system favored people along the coast. >> they have the advantage of being frozen in tier 1 in cooler coastal climates and smaller families. >> reporter: san francisco and other coastal cities will feel the impact of this new system. the valley in some east bay cities will benefit from it. for years the public utilities commission used a four-tier pricing system. once you use the amount allotted for tier one you move on to the next tier where price is higher. if you reach tiers 3 and 4 your rates for that power increases dramatically. under the new pricing system the highest power users get a break by paying less than they have in order to balance things out those who consume less see a slightly higher power bill. the utility reform network calls it unfair. >> that really makes no sense, is completely unfair. we think customers should be

rewarded for saving energy not punished. >> reporter: many in san francisco say this is far from a compromise. >> the people that use the most should pay the most as far as i'm concerned just like water usage. >> thinking about another increase in cost. that's very frustrating. >> reporter: the three major utility companies in the state including pg&e can begin increasing rates within 60 days. lyanne melendez, abc 7 news. nine people including three children escaped from a burning home in san jose this morning. officer stan wall was driving when he saw smoke coming from the attic of the house. that was about 9:20. 13-year veteran ran inside to alert occupies and get them out. firefighters say it was likely an electrical fire. there were no working smoke detectors in the home. >> it is high fire danger double

gilroy residents only set them off in certain areas. stands that don't follow the law could lose permits. a 50 acre fire sent smoke over the town. a reminder of the high fire danger. gilroy fire division chief. >> all of them are dangerous. you need to use them properly, even safe and sane and that you should never be using illegal fireworks because those are the ones that are air borne. they land on roots and other people's property. >> reporter: gilroy native says responsible use of safe and sane fireworks is important. >> we don't want to lose this privilege. >> reporter: in gilroy david louie, abc 7 news. here in san francisco crews are putting finishing touches on the largest fireworks show in northern california. they are loading 10,000 pounds of explosive devices on the barges at pier 50. the fireworks get underway at 5:30 tomorrow night. will the weather cooperate

>> we stopped communism and we saved democracy and religion. >> reporter: for those who fought in and supported the korean conflict this memorial is long overdue. 2,273 of the graves belong to korean war veterans. >> it takes a lot to put a project like this together. >> reporter: here is a rendition of the memorial with ground breaking scheduled for later in july. they raised almost all of the $3.5 million needed. it is the last ground the men will take in a place with such permanence. from the national cemetery wayne freedman abc 7 news. protesters chose a popular san francisco tourist spot to demand the repeal of mandatory vaccine law. abc 7 news at the golden gate

drought conscious neighbors did not want that water going to waste and started using buckets to water their lawn. at this point the san francisco public utilities commission says it is hard to tell how many gallons were lost. >> we don't know because we have to estimate when this started to figure out how much water was lost. at this point in time i really can't give you a guesstimate. >> reporter: where is it going? >> one resident tells abc 7 news same thing happened a week ago. officials say they finished repairs about noon today. there is a user revolt on red it over the firing over director of talent. it is sometimes called the internet front page. it works like kind of an online bulletin board content organized into sections. taylor played a key role in the ask me anything section. when the news of her firing broke it was shut down and left
