>> good morning to you, welcome to thursday, december 7th. we appreciate you being here at 5:00 a.m. jessica has the week off. sue hall in for alexis and mike nicco to tell us about our weather today. you'll need those sunglasses. no need for the winter clothes at least not after the morning hours. look how clear it is. bone-dry air out there once again. the exploratorium at pier 15, the stars twinkling behind the transamerica tower there. let's talk about your accuweather 12-hour planner 37 to 54. we have micro climates. it's breezy in our hills and beaches. we'll have a nice day and have your lunch outside. still very mild at 4:00. 60 to 63 and comfortable at 7:00 under stars and a few high

clouds, 51 to 56 degrees. the morning commute, guess who will tell you all about it, hi, sue. the east shore freeway, the solid stream of headlights moving at the limit. if your travels take from you the upper portion of the east shore freeway, hercules through san pablo and el cerrito, berkeley into the mcarthur maze, you're looking at about a 26-minute drive and that's through the toll plaza. no delays here except for a few minor cash paying folks. that's not a bad commute. quiet up there. we do have existing drive times for you in a few minutes. mike told us yesterday the winds will be worse in southern california and that is proving to be the case. we're talking about gusts topping 50 miles per hour in some areas that's fanning the flames for the wildfires burning out of control. the rye fire burned 7,000 acres near santa clarita.

the skirball fire and the thomas fire has grown to more than 90,000 acres. that's near santa paula in ventura county. a live look at the flames this morning in ventura. abc 7 news reporter john gregory has the latest. >> reporter: the thomas fire continues to threaten homes here in ventura county along the 101 freeway along the coast. you can behind me homes threatened by the fire. this is la conchita, a small coastal community, maybe a couple hundred homes right along the freeway and they are being threatened by the fire. big flames coming up along the hillside. one bit of good news, we've had some wind up here but nothing like the intense santa anas we saw on tuesday and that's good news for firefighters and residents. this area is under a mandatory evacuation though there are some folks who are standing by and watching things. the 101 is shut down in both

directions as well. so there's no traffic on the freeway. they will let you evacuate but they won't let you back in. firefighters keeping a very close eye on this fire as it gets very close to those homes. this area has seen its share of tragedy. in 2005 they had a landslide here that claimed the lives of ten people. they've seen this sort of thing before and have dealt with it. now they're dealing with these fires. so far no homes lost but it is very close and firefighters keeping a very close eye on the situation here. that is the latest from la conchita. i'm john gregory for abc news. >> and let's stay in la conchita. this video -- and you'll see why -- is getting a lot of views. that's a man putting his own life at risk to save a wild rabbit, captured by a photographer just off the road there, the man knelt down, stopped the rabbit in its tracks, gently picked it up and held it in his arms in an effort to get it to calm down.

5:03 now. out of the east bay, the city council will meet behind closed doors again. the strike is going into its third day now. 3,000 city workers not going to work today and that means all nonemergency city services will remain closed. they want a two-year deal with a 4% raise each year. mayor libby schaaf says that would lead to job losses. city services include building permits, libraries, head start, senior citizen programs as well. all of those will remain closed today. we have new details about a carjacking suspect as well who was shot and killed by a san francisco police officer. new information is emerging about that officer. reporter vick lee has information you'll see only on abc 7 news. i'm not saying what that young man did wasn't wrong. it was wrong for what happened but it was not justification to blow his head off. >> reporter: chandler is a community activist in the neighborhood. on friday she and her friends were at the scene of the

shooting here at the alice griffith housing development. at about 10:30 in the morning police say o'neill carjacked a state lottery the suspect drove and the shooting occurred on the 1,000 block of fitzgerald avenue. from sky 7 you can see a patrol car with its side windows shattered and blood and clothing near the vehicle. police at the scene said an officer fired at least one round. chandler says her good friend saw it go down. >> he was running trying to get out of this gate and the officer in his police car blew the window off with the gun. the first shot shattered the window and hit him in the head. >> reporter: a source with knowledge of the investigation gave abc 7 news the same scenario and also that the suspect was not armed. we're also learning that the officer graduated from the police academy just three days

before the shooting. police also detained four others who were seen in a gold suv traveling with a stolen van. abc 7 news has learned all four have since been released from have since been released from custody. investigators have reviewed vests for further evidence. a town hall meeting is scheduled for today. the location and starting time have both changed. it is now set for 6:00 p.m. at the true hope church on gilman avenue. moving on now, if you are tired of sitting in traffic on the bay bridge every single day, listen up to this. there is a new plan to sol that have congestion and it involves building a new bridge. >> you can see the proposal to cross the bay at interstate 238 to 380. matt keller is live with the push this morning. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, reggie and natasha.

we have bridges here in the bay area but would another bridge help you get to work sooner? that's under consideration. the hope would be it would decrease traffic on the bay bridge. the freeways leading into the eastern span consistently make the list for the worst commute in the bay area. senator dianne feinstein says the solution could be an additional bay bridge south of the current one, a proposal that could connect interstate 238 with 380. the bay area will be voting on regional measure three, a toll increase. east bay residents need to get something if they're paying more says one congressman. >> so they need to see a benefit specifically through those corridors for what they're being asked to spend more money in tolls. >> reporter: the idea for a new bridge is not new. it's been studied several times, 1990 and updated in 2010. a new bridge wouldn't be enough. they say voters expect b.a.r.t. tubes, bike lanes, and more.

the toll authority meets on december 20th. reporting live on treasure island, matt keller, abc 7 news. there are some new developments this morning with the data breach. we know uber paid the hacker $100,000 through a bug bounty program and in making the payment learned his identity and made him sign an agreement he wouldn't do any more damage. the hacker is now identified as a 20-year-old man from florida who lives with his mother. he got his hands on the personal information of 57 million customers. as part of the deal uber made the hacker deleted all the data from his computer. happening today pg&e will answer to san francisco supervisors and explain what caused a gas explosion on mission street. no one got hurt, however, that explosion ripped through an apartment building and caused major damage last monday. several families have been displaced. city supervisors are hosting a public hearing at 2:30 this afternoon at city hall. they'll get an update from pg&e on its investigation and then discuss public safety and emergency response protocols.

developing news this morning, there is a push by some supervisors to split up the san francisco municipal transportation agency. such a move would need to be put to a vote. next tuesday is the last opportunity for supervisors to introduce the measure so it could qualify for the june 2018 ballot. the proposal would create two agencies, one would handle parking in streets and the other its buses and light rail trains. residents in yuba city will weigh in on how the oroville dam repairs are going. crews are fortifying the hillside. last night federal officials said they're not concerned about a few cracks in the freshly laid concrete. not everyone is convinced. people in oroville question the dam's safety. the damage to the dam forced 200,000 people to evacuate in february. let's take a look at temperatures across the north bay where it is freezing cold in some areas like rohnert park and ukiah with 32 degrees.

on pearl harbor as a date that will live in infamy. my dad was a young boy when pearl harbor was attacked in hawaii. calls for a pennsylvania lawmaker to either be demoted or resign after he interrupted a meeting and suggested a colleague was gay. we have video of the incident. it all starts with the touching of an arm and then just spirals from there. >> there is a better way to do this, guys. we don't have to proceed on this one. i hear you. i understand there are some hard feelings -- >> look, i'm heterosexual, i have a wife, i love my wife, i don't like men as you might but stop touching me all the time. keep your hands to yourself. if you want to touch people, you might have somebody on your side of the aisle who might like it. i don't. >> chairman, chair -- okay, we're officially off the rails. >> so the lawmaker that was

protesting being touched is metcalf who chairs pennsylvania state government committee calling it offensive and discriminatory. we looked up the biography of the lawmaker that he suggested was gay, the guy you see on the right, matt bradford. bradford is married and has four kids so we assume he is not gay, not that this matters because it's ridiculous. metcalf hasn't commented, by the way.

from this danger but digging their heels and making sure these structures are protected even as a fire rages around them. now we were concerned about high winds tonight. we haven't seen extreme gusts, but the winds are certainly pushing the fire in almost every single direction. it's an extremely precarious situation out here. at one point we had to run to get away from some of the ember that is were falling from the sky and even as conditions remain terrible for the firefighters, they're staying put this morning. i'm veronica miracle in ojai for abc news. >> and look at what news helicopters are capturing, an explosion near a home near the thomas fire in ventura county last night. it's not clear what exploded there. you can download the abc 7 news app and get breaking updates on the southern california fires. 5:32. no libraries, no after school programs, no senior centers.

$5.5 million from the budget. parents and teachers packed a meeting to fight the cuts. the board said the money would come from the central office but the plan would eliminate funding for school supplies. a meeting to discuss the cuts will take place at 7:00 p.m. at the committee room at la escuelita elementary. this morning the preliminary hearing continues for two men jailed in connection with the deadly ghost ship warehouse fire. the first two witnesses took the stand for the prosecution. both were ghost ship residents. aaron marin said musicians and deejays brought in amplifiers and a projection screen inside the warehouse on the day of the fire. that could be relevant because the equipment may have blocked access to rooms that were potentially lifesaving exits. >> big screens which blocked everyone from getting out in terms of the scare case has nothing to do with my client or the co-defendants. that's the people who came up and placed these items there.

that wasn't part of the warehouse. >> ghost ship founder derick almena and associate max harris face 36 counts of involuntary manslaughter. the verdict in the kate steinle murder trial has caused a lot of outrage for some people after the defendant, an undocumented immigrant, was acquitted. now one of the alternate jurors in the case is speaking to abc 7 news in defense of those who deliberated behind closed doors. phil van stockum said his fellow jurors made the right decision to acquit jose ines garcia zarate of murder based on the evidence the prosecution presented. why did the jury not settle for involuntary manslaughter? the reason the prosecution had to prove that garcia zarate in the act of committing the crime was brandishing, meaning waving, a weapon. >> it wasn't just a ricochet, it was a bad ricochet. if he intended to make that shot, he was a terrible shot and got really lucky. >> he acknowledges it was not easy to see the steinle family in court.
