bart's general manager wants to add 19 new police officer positions. in addition, the agency says it is working on combatting evaders by retrofitting fare gates with higher railings and alarms. turning to our weather because, you guessed it, more rain is on the way this week. >> after the sunny day. you're looking live at our mount tam and exploratorium towercams are. spencer christian is here with the forecast. say it ain't so. >> it's only a little bit of rain that, you don't have to worry about it. here is a look at live doppler 7. we have light, very light scours mainly into sonoma county. you see the areas where it's a little bit damp, but these showers, again, are pretty light. the satellite composite shows a cold front sweeping down from our northwest. that's what's pushing the showers into our area. the storm ranks one on the storm impact scale, a storm of light intensi intensity. so for tonight and early early tomorrow morning, we may see a few more scattered light showers. less than a tenth of an inch in most areas and then breezy. going into the evening hours,

we'll see a couple more batches of light showers moving not only into the north bay, but the peninsula coastline as well. during the overnight hours, we'll see the showers tapering off, giving hope for dry pavement for morning commuters. i'll give you a closer look at that, and a dryer week ahead in a few minutes. dan and ama? >> thank you so much, spencer. now to breaking news out of pictures from where there has been a triple shooting. you see the emergency responders near 98 avenue on e street. the police activity is centered at an auto shop called best tires and auto repair. all police are saying is that it is an active scene. you can see them there. there is no word yet on if will is a search for a suspect or if anyone is in custody, and police haven't released information on how badly those victims were hurt. the uc berkeley mascot of course is the bears. but these days students are talking about a much smaller animal. >> mice have become a big problem at stern hall on campus.

luz pena is at cal.lu >> dan and ama, that's right. this is stern hall, and students tell us they have seen, touched and even disposed of several mice this school year. >> i don't hear anything right now. >> freshman annabelle is not trying to communicate with her next-door neighbor. >> just in the walls. like you'll hear little footsteps or rustling in the walls. >> she says the little footsteps belong to mice that are living inside stern hall, and more specifically in her room. >> there were two back there behind my bed, and there was another one behind her desk. >> so a total of how many? >> four dead mice we had in the room. we had that live mouse in the trash can, and th scampering aro a s >> the s they reported the who mousetraps several days after the first report. >> another mousetrap that had gone off that i did not know was right next to my bed and when

points of entry and cleaning impacted areas. several students that we spoke to today said that mice are not only the problem in this building. they also said that mold is covering several areas in this hall. live here in berkeley, luz pena, abc7 news. >> luz, have any students gotten sick because of this? >> that's a great question, dan. we did speak to a student that said yeah, mice are not the issue why some of theme feel they're getting sick. mold is the main issue we're going to be talking about at 6:00 p.m. one of the students we spoke to did not want to be on camera, but did tell us she has been going to several doctors and getting blood work done to see why she has been feeling sick for several months and believes the mold is the reason. >> mold is no joke. thanks, luz, very much. heated public hearings are expected tonight over a tentative agreement to relocate a los altos junior high school. parents and students staged a protest this morning outside egan junior high on portola

avenue. they're unhappy about a deal to move egan to a new location in four years and allow charter school to take over the sight. >> we don't want a charter school to move into one of our neighborhood schools. a lot of people are very passionate about egan in particular. it's a very highly accredited school. it's a reason a lot of people move to this area. >> the plans call for the charter school to take over this campus in 2023 with a small portion left over to one day become affordable housing for teachers and staff. egan would move to a new school planned camino real. all right. still to come, more than a dozen parents enter pleas today in that college admissions scandal. >> do you have anything to say? >> the latest in the case and what's next for the bay area parents involved. plus new developments today in the ongoing battle at the border. the old policy the president may

apiece. the company hopes to raise $1.5 billion. pinterest is expected to start trading on the stock exchange under the symbol pins, p pins, p later this month. and here to talk with us about the pinterest ipo, ian, thanks for coming in. >> i hope you find it pinteresting. >> very good. all right. we're out of time! [ laughter ] what can you tell us about that price range? the ipo is valued below its previous priced market value. whats the deal? >> it's hard to tell what's going on, right? they're going to be going on what's called a road show where they're going to talk to a lot of potential investors on wall street and what not. we'll probably hear a little bit about it then. but pinterest has always been this company that has flown under the radar a little bit. you think of facebook and twitter and all of these companies that have their ceos on the glossy magazine covers. pinterest doesn't play that

game. they're very quiet. they stay subdued. in a lot of way, this is not surprising. they're trying to make a big blowout start for their time on wall street, and maybe the shares will go up. maybe they'll go down. but they're not being aggressive with their pricing. >> okay. pinterest, like a lot of these companies, are really losing money. lift last week, it's never made any money. how is that attractive to investors? what's the lure that this money, this infusion of cash will turn it around? >> the bet is the future, right? it's always about what's going to happen at some point down the line. that's what everyone said when amazon was losing money left and right. eventually it will make money. facebook will take a while. twitter eventually made money. so that's part of the bet here. what's interesting about pinterest is they're losing a lot less money than people like lyft or uber. we're talking about hundreds of millions being lost by them. pinterest only lost a little less than 100 last year, and it actually is less than they lost the year before. so they're showing that they're growing the number of users they have, and they're also paring

back losses. in a lot of ways, this is a very not typical ipo from the tech industry. >> it's been quiet for a number of years in terms of the ipo frenzy that we had many years ago, and now it's picking back up again. what's going on? what in the landscape has changed? >> a lot of it has been watching people like lyft go public. and the sense that, well, maybe there is a fervor out there for tech. it's all an expectations game. so future them, if pinterest can go public, and they can get that money from investors, and they can also kind of have a good debut on the stock exchange, which of course has its own politics and everything, then things are good for them. you don't want to do it when things are bad, when the economy pours or whatever else, right now things are good. the economy is going strong. we've seen numbers coming out of stuff like the reports of unemployment and all that are positive. so it's a good time for them to do this if they're going do it. >> there has been sort of an uptick in the number of ipos.

lyft last week, it may ultimately be a successful initial public offering. >> they dipped below their number right now,willay. buwetmohs. expt from uber's initial public offering? >> so far it look likes it's going to be the largest in history. $120 billion evaluation, compared to pinterest which is only 11, it's a whole different ball game. trust me, when uber starts going ipo, you're going to hear about it on front pages everywhere. this is one of the largest companies to do something like this. it's going to be fascinating to see whether wall street is willing to gobble up shares from a company that has been losing a lot of money, but promises to be the future of how we transport. >> kind of a bellwether. >> although it's pretty late to the game. that's tech in general. all these tech companies have been waiting a decade to go public. it's reallying the this time. >> thanks very much, ian. >> sure. >> always great to have you was. and you were pinteresting.

>> thank you. >> am marks back to esg boo t examines mostly out. bloomberg technology host emily chang appeared to discuss brotopia, breaking up the boys club of silicon valley. describe how the lack of diversity is at the heart of some major problems. >> ed williams, the co-founder of twitter tells me he thinks that if more women had been on the early team online harassment and trolling wouldn't be as big a problem. amazon is selling this facial recognition technology to governments. well, it gets white men right almost 100% of the time. it gets darker skinned women wrong 35% of the time.agin accea wrong. the got i ah. as ner tau >> you'v mtlyen out ofhe pducts that are d setsg

looking at dark clouds getting lower over the bay. napa 65. petaluma, 62. 69 at livermore. and we see low clouds descending on the golden gate, and these are our forecast features. we'll see spotty light showers overnight into the very early morning hours. it will be mostly sunny and breezy the next few days, once these clouds move out midday tomorrow, and this dry pattern that we're moving into will last us through the weekend. but the approaching system, such as it is, ranks 1 on the storm impact scale. a storm of light intensity. it will produce light scattered showers tonight and in the early morning hours, less than a tenth of an inch for most areas. it's going to become breezy. quite windy in some spots tomorrow behind the frontal system that's sweeping through. overnight lows under breezy aiy upper upper valleys. here is the forecast animation taking us into the evening hours. 7:30 we'll see the front beginning to sweep down into northern sonoma county. it will start to push farther

south. it will continue pushing farther south in the late night hours. and behind that we get a blast of strong gusty wind. ahead of the front there will be light scattered showers. perhaps a few wet spots on the roadways in the early morning hours as commuters venture out. but we don't expect any widespread rainfall at this time. we will be drying out as the morning commute begins. and it will get mostly sunny and windy by afternoon. here is a look at the wind gust animation. 5:00 tomorrow morning as the commute gets under way, it will be breezy in most spots. downright windy on the coastline where gusts will exceed 25 miles per hour. as we get into the afternoon and evening showers, look for gusts over 40 miles per hour on the coast and around the bay and other inland location, gusts between 20 and 30 miles per hour. highs tomorrow will be generally in the low to mid 60s to the coast. mid to upper 60s around the bay shoreline and upper 60s to about 70 degrees in our inland areas, and here is the accuweather seven-day forecast. so we have some sparkle in the forecast tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, even saturday, we'll see sunny skies, dry

conditions. high temperatures near 70 around the bay. low 70s inland. and low 60s on the coast. then a few more clouds move into the picture on sunday. it gets cloudier and cooler, sharply cooler i might add and that pattern continues into next week. by the way, i want to thank the wonderful women of the clairemont park book club for inviting me to be the luncheon speaker. i had a great time and had a great lunch by the way. i'll come back. >> good stuff. thank you very much. heading out from the international space station. today's spacewalk and what's still ahead for astronauts. >> and a treasure found in a very unlikely place. we'll have details later this

shafts. i didn't realize just how crazy things would get. ♪ being a composer, i think being a musician. and we were hoping to have room for that stuff and thinking about buying in 2019. during that process, we found this listing for what ended up being a magic theater. >> that had just closed down and gone on the market, it had an apartment above it and was in this really great spot. so it's right on the border of northern liberty's old city and the delaware waterfront. it's incredible. >> 2016, construction started. i was on the sight, and i found this base of a wine bottle. it didn't look like it had been. >> and i was like wow, that's fantastic. you know, it looks hand-made. so it'salong the length of the building, there were these pits that the construction workers dug. and one of the pits clearly was where most of this pottery trash

was coming out of. >> i knew even at the time that it was a privy, because a friend of mine found one in his backyard in northern liberty. >> it's essentially a latrine before they had pluming in philadelphia, they would dig these holes into the ground and line them with bricks, and build a commode. >> finding things in privies is not uncommon in philadelphia. we've had settlement here since the 1680s. and the moment there are privies, that also means they have a place to throw their trash. because of, that we have throughout the city, as long as the ground is undisturbed, we have these wonderul pockets of basically time machines. >> all of the research seemed to be suggesting that this stuff was possibly 18th century. >> the quantity of items that we found was kind of strange, though. you think i have not broken that many plates in my life. >> we found so many wine bottles and plates. were that that drunk that they were breaking plates every single day?

the third option would be our theater becomes a combination theater and museum. if the former residents of this building could see us now pulling their most utilitarian, dirtiest items and displaying them proudly in our house and lovingly putting them together the pots that they would literally go to the toilet in. and i'm spending hours digging them out and cleaning them in my kitchen sink. >> that's kind of cool, though. you can be sure to check out abc's new brand at localish.com. it is also on facebook on instagram. and don't forget, you can get the latest news anytime with the abc7 news app. it has enhanced live video features, more customization, and personalized push alerts. to get more of the news you want delivered to your phone and in realtime. that is going to i edition of abc7 news at 4:00. thank you so much for joining us
