no one has been hurt in the robberies which are over within a matter of seconds the officer i spoke with says the store at the village of corte madera does have a camera. they are hoping to get the video from apple today so they can try and figure out who did this. live in corte madera. amy hollyfield, abc 7 news. bart revealing two of its police officers were at the coliseum station in oakland when dozens of teens jumped on a train and robbed passengers. up to 60 teens jumped the fare gates 9:30 saturday night. they swarmed a car, robbing and attacking passengers and two people were hurt. at first bart officials said none of its officers were at the station. now it's admitting two officers were patrolling the parking lot when the gang hit. the suspects grabbed five cell phones, a purse and duffel bag before running off. investigators are combing there surveillance video but aren't releasing it because the attackers appear to be minors. san francisco police are

trying to determine how two explosive devices ended up in a neighborhood. someone found a pipe bomb and a hand grenade near 22nd and wisconsin streets around 5:00 yesterday. police had to close off streets for almost two hours while the bomb squad checked it out. they ended up determining those devices were safe. they gave the all-clear a short time later. conservative commentator ann coulter says she will be at uc berkeley on thursday despite the university rescheduling her planned speech. no word where where koucoulter l speak or when but school leaders say there is no safe place for her to speak on campus. the two groups sponsoring her appearance filed a federal lawsuit accusing the university of trying to restrict conservative speech on campus. the attorney claims the school has a secret policy that limits conditions for certain speakers. >> it's not in writing. it's not been publicized but it has been used to shut down two speakers that the berkeley college republicans have brought to cal.

>> reporter: the university says it's trying to avoid the same kind of violence that erupted before a speech by yiannopoulos in february. yesterday coulter retweeted a weather forecast with the words "nice day for an outdoor speech in berkeley." today advocates and victims of hate crime will rally before the santa clara county board of supervisors meeting. they say they expect the rally to be similar to this one in san francisco to show the board how critical certain items are that are up for discussion. one, the need for safe shelter beds for transgender people. another to help families with an emergency plan in case a parent is picked up for deportation. also happening, the albany school board will discuss this racially fuelled instagram page that, look at that, included an image of a student with a noose around her neck. the page was up for two months before school administrators became aware of it. the students responsible got suspended but some parents say they should have been expelled.

there's going to be a chance for public comment about tonight's meeting. arkansas just had the nation's first double execution in more than 16 years. it was marked by controversy and accusations one of the prisoners suffered in his death. jack jones and marcel williams both died by lethal injection. the state executed jones for the rape and murder of a book keeper in 1995. three hours later williams was put to death for the murder of a young mother in 1994. a judge temporarily blocked williams' lethal injection because his attorneys argued the first execution was inhumane. they say officials spent 45 minutes trying to place an iv in jones' neck before they had to put it elsewhere and he gulped for air as he died. the judge allowed both executions to go forward. 6:36. to developing news this morning on the korean peninsula. officials in the south claim the north conducted a massive show of force with large scale artillery drills. the exercise marked the anniversary of the founding of its military 85 years ago and

coincided with military exercises held by the u.s. and south korea in the yellow sea. earlier today a nuclear-powered u.s. submarine arrived in south korea. tomorrow president trump will hold a rare briefing with the full senate to discuss growing concerns over north korea's nuclear weapons and missiles program. president trump expected to name a retired two-star general as the new service director. randolph tex alice served 35 years in the military before joining the u.s. customs and border patrol. the head of the service is appointed by the president and doesn't need senate confirmation. a new poll shows most americans prefer we keep obamacare. 61% of those polled by abc news and the "washington post" say the affordable care act should be kept and improved. only 37% say it should berepealed and replaced and when asked about top priorities, 62% said they want nationwide covered standards for things like preventative services and prescription drugs and 70% said they wanted coverage for pre-existing conditions.

many residents of san francisco's mission district are not happy about a new temporary homeless shelter planned for their neighborhood. the location is in an empty building at van ness and 26th street. some residents said not here, not now. others want the center to open quickly. >> i know we need to get these people in homes but adding 120 people to the area is not the right solution. and also they're going to end it with no exit plan. that's another big issue. >> every single day we delay folks who are living on the streets are still out on the streets and around getting the services they need and neighbors still continue to have to deal with these tent encampments. >> a second community meeting will be held about the issues because last night's was over p. marin county has an interesting problem -- they have too much money. they'll be swimming in it by the end of the fiscal year and there's suggestions on what to do with it. county officials said marine

should see a $5.5 million surplus by the end of june. they suggested the money could be spend on improving roads damaged during the storms and contributing to the county library's reading program for pre-schoolers. supervisors will have the final say on where the money is spent. let's start with temperatures in san francisco, 51 in westportal, that's the cool spot. we have about 55 in the financial district. in the kas tree 53. richmond and belmont along with union city and tracy. petaluma and santa clara, about 51 degrees. here's the high temperatures today. 61 at half moon bay. 64 to 68 around the bay and 67 to 70 in our inland neighborhood so a little rebound from yesterday. you can see the san mateo bridge dry looking busy as we look westbound. a little breezy on the east/west bridges. breezy and choppy for a ferry ride. mass transit no worries. here's 280 at 17th down the san

jose with the tree pollen that will be high today. grass pollen moderate. mold spores low. temperatures tonight 50 to 55. that green is coming our way tomorrow and hour by hour look at one of our last chances of rain possibly for the entire rain season. alexis? >> i like the sound of that, mike. looking at our traffic maps, good news for walnut creek. we did have a disabled semi that was slowing you down on southbound 680. this was just before you get to treat boulevard. looks like chp has left the scene and that has cleared. we are still seeing some delays on southbound 680 but most of that is the typical delay we have along that stretch. this time of day the drive times aren't too terrible. our awesome pink clouds have gone away as we continue into the morning but we had beautiful sunrise shots including the bay bridge toll plaza. maybe thinning out a bit but those metering lights are still on. i have a mass transit update for muni riders. they're having a switching problem with subway service.

switching issues near van ness so that's delayed between van ness and castro. they're saying you should consider alternate routes and alternate means of transportation at this point because the delays are getting so long at this point so i'll keep an eye on that. we'll check drive times next. >> we tell you all the time about how thieves are targeting people's mail. now you have a way to fight back. how you can see what's in your mail before it gets delivered. >> imagine seeing this flying overhead? how a silicon valley company plans to elevate your commute. >> and this high-speed chase in southern california coming to an end. the car just stopping. police opening -- we'll have -- i think they have opened fire on this vehicle. this vehicle. we are going t

right now they are in bellflower. that's where it's come to an end but they went -- this driver went through various different cities going on the highway as well as surface streets at some points reaching speeds of 90 miles an hour on city streets. we don't know what this person is wanted for. i believe -- this is in norwalk? okay this came to an end in norwalk my producer just giving me that information right now. but we are hearing this suspect may be wanted for possibly a stolen vehicle. no word on whether or not there's anyone else in the car you see him right now if you see his hands are up. it appears that suspect is still alive or at least some person in that car climbing out of the window right now and looks like he is going to peacefully surrender. this high-speed chase now officially over as police try to get this person into custody and get this situation wrapped up. luckily he didn't hit anyone,

didn't hit pedestrians or other cars as he made the wild run across los angeles county. reggie, natasha, back to you. >> glad to see that's over. jessica, thanks for taking us through it. google's self-driving car company is looking for riders. >> you see these minivans? hundreds of them are about to hit the streets. there is a catch if you want to get in one of these. you'll have to be in arizona. >> tiffany wilson is live at google headquarters in mountain view. hey, tiffany. >> reporter: hey, good morning. yes, the free passenger trial program is only for phoenix area residents and they can start submitting applications to be among the very first passengers today so big news if you live in phoenix. it's also big news for everyone interested in the self-driving vehicle market. these are going to be among the first passengers in google's self-driving cars. they will get free rides and give feedback about the experience.
