assessed them and they don't appear to be injured at this time. they will be taken off the bridge by the park police and set down on level ground. >> how do you reach them? >> this is a very difficult area with a lot of difficult terrain. i think first and foremost, our 911 dispatchers did a phenomenal job keeping the victims on the phone, which allowed us to get their latitude and longitude or their gps location, so that we could actually find them. originally they weren't sure where they were at, which is why we had a little bit of difficulty in going between baker beach and basically the cliff house for a reference to locate them. we essentially deployed our water rescue boats out into the water where we were able to use them to actually eyeball the exact location of the victims.
4:01 pm
now as you look at your footage, you can see all the brush and all the rubbish there, that's difficult to go through, and that's also difficult to go through, and the cliff looks like it's solid rock, it's not going to be solid rock, a lot of that is loose, a lot of that is dirt and when we get our feet on that, we can actually slip and fall, which is why we do a tactical rope rescue, in case it's a high angle rope rescue. >> lieutenant baxter, any idea yet how they got there? are they just hikers? i ask because you don't want others to get into that same situation? >> we don't know the exact parameters. the park police will have more information on the investigation side. i'm not saying that there's anything criminal about it, but what can we do better with our messaging to keep people from getting in this predicament.
4:02 pm
we do urge people through our social media, our national park recreational areas social media to not get stuck on the cliffs, to not go down the cliffs, to stay on the trail, to abide by the signage and that's what we see a lot, we get people who are curious and they think they can get to a location and then they realize that they're stuck. and by that time they literally are stuck and they need to have some help. >> the signs are there obviously for a reason. >> lieutenant jonathan baxter with the san francisco fire department. great work out there by your staff today. thanks for coming on. >> thank you and you guys have a safe weekend. on that note, thank you for joining us. >> our other top story -- we feel empathy, we feel for these people. they're our friends. >> families begin the heart breaking job of burying their loved ones, gunned down in this week's mass shooting in south florida as a stunning picture

emerges from the fbi. >> the fbi says they received a tip from the suspected shooter warning that he might attack but the fbi did not follow up on the tip. >> rick scott reacted to the news by asking for the resignation of fbi director christopher wray >> we go to maggie live in parkland tonight. >> reporter: we're standing here right now just in front of the high school. all day we have seen students coming and going to pay their respects, many of them grieving, heart broken, but also angry, saying they want to create change, they want to make sure that what happened here never happens again. >> what if that was your child that was shot three times in the heart, in the head, in the hand? think about it. >> reporter: as the first
4:04 pm
funerals begin today for the 17 victims of wednesday's mass shooting in parkland, florida. >> my home away from home ended tragically. >> reporter: now the fbi is admitting it made a huge mistake about a tip it got last month about the suspected gunman. a person close to nicholas cruz contacted the police department about his erratic behavior and his desire to kill people. >> we have determined that the protocol was not followed. the information was not forwarded to the miami field office and no investigation was conducted at that time. >> a video blogger was concerned that a user named nicholas made a threat. marco rubio said that it was inexcusable that the fbi failed to follow protocols.

4:06 pm
took a new approach to deal with the reality of guns at school. here's abc7 news reporter leslie brinkley. >> all this physical stuff, like cameras, fencing, they don't mean anything. >> reporter: 35 oakland administrators and teachers hunkered down today with a disaster preparedness consult t consultant. they discussed what if a gunman shows up tomorrow or next week intent on killing? >> the idea is maybe we cannot stop active shooters armed with semi-automatic weapons from coming on to a school campus. but what we can do is keep classroom doors locked every single day and better trained personnel. >> lockdown drills as unconventional times. >> that means having drills at vulnerable moments like on playgrounds and at drop off and pick up times. and train staff for gunshot
4:07 pm
wounds. >> if you have a major arrest material wound, that your staff knows how to apply direct pressure, as we know the fire department can't come in until the scene's safe. we have to be able to take care of our children. >> reporter: the goal is to safe lives, it was a sobering moment for staff here. >> it's a new reality, we can't send it somewhere else, we got to face it. >> reporte >> you have to have a conversation with your 3-year-old, if someone comes into your school and tries to kill you, this is what you need to do. it's sad that we have to have the discussion, but it needs to be done. this is the fourth active shooter session open unified school district has put together for school staff so far this year. officials say more are scheduled so they are obviously taking a very pro active approach. women's march organizers are calling for a nationwide school walkout to protest gun violence. the new facebook post says congress needs to do more than

street and eighth h the evacuation order was lifted less than an hour later. here's a quick look at current weather conditions, it's a lovely day around the bay area, sunny skies as you can see here on live doppler 7, you can also see how sunny it is from sutro tower. it's 59 in san francisco, mid to upper 50s in mountain view, san jose and gilroy. looking into a clear western sky, it's 68 in santa rosa, 64 in napa. there are sharp changes coming our way on sunday, i'll have all the details a little bit later. new numbers show the flu season may finally be leveling off nationwide. the flu activity here decreased last week, but remains elevated.

4:14 pm
we have breaking news in mexico. a magnitude 7.5 quake struck at about 3:40 our time this afternoon. about a half our ago. this video of buildings shaking in mexico city, that's about 400 miles away, you can see those freeway signs shaking as well. we have received no word so far on any major damage, deaths or injuries. this is the second quake in mexico in recent months. more than 300 people were killed last september when a magnitude 7.1 quake rocked the central part of the country. the question about gun safety is top of mind once again after wednesday 's terrible shooting in parkland, florida. phil, great to see you, thanks for being here. i understand you're reintroducing a bill that would give more people the ability to request a gun violence restraining order.
4:15 pm
why do you think that's so important? >> it's so important because this tool could have been used in florida. there are so many signs that this individual was dangerous, law enforcement saw signs, teachers saw signs, these are exactly the people that can use the tool and in the future i would hope could use a tool. right now if you're in california, if you're a family member, you can use the gun violence restraining order, similar to the domestic violence restraining order. we want to expand it where teachers, principals, friends, well. >> so anyone can use this law? >> well, people who are around you, co-workers, friends, as you get older, you're around more than your family. >> this is directly identifying
4:16 pm
people who should not get their hands on a gun? >> you have to go to a judge and the judge would obviously demand evidence. so it not that you could have a false claim against anybody, you have to go in front of a judge and prove why you think that person is dangerous. >> and the shooter or the alleged shooter in florida bought the weapon legally and there it was a complaint to the fbi a tip, that perhaps he should not. it is in fairness to law enforcement hard to keep track of every human being who might be a danger in the country, it's not easy to do. we're quick to pounce on them. but would a bill like this have given a chance to make a difference? >> if teachers are principals were concerned and they knew that this person had access to firearms, they could have done manag something. law enforcement is hard to chase down every single lead or tip,
4:17 pm
but if you're in school with someone who is violent, they could have reported something if they suspected something. >> sort of widens the field of view to identify people? >> absolutely. >> the governor vetoed this measure in 2016, given what's happened, do you think it will go through this time? >> i'm more hopeful, he vetoed it because the covert version had just gone into effect earlier this year, so it had only been in effect when it got to his desk for two months, so we have had two years time and more data so i'm hoping he will sign the bill this time. >> we'll follow up on how that bill does, but again, what happened this wednesday, just fueling more discussion about how we go forward. bay area residents are reacting in horror at a new report that shows how much you need to earn in order to buy a house here. in california association of realtors found that you need a

4:20 pm
says a lot like this is desirable for buyers who want to build on a blank canvass. >> there's a lot of property with structures on it, homes that are hold but they purchase it and they scrape the house off, so they'll overpay because the land is worth so much. >> reporter: the property on coalridge avenue sold in may of 2016 for $3.1 million, then in september of that same year, for $3.9 million. stone says those were made off the market. since then the amount has skyrocketed more than $2 million. >> it's upsetting but not that surprising. >> reporter: sharon calls this another alarming reality for teacher who is can't afford to live where they work. >> it just shows how prices in palo alto are so unaffordable for people, you know, like people with incomes in the middle like teachers.
