details. first of all we can confirm that two people have lost their lives, two people killed out here on esmond avenue at 32nd street. you can see there is still a huge police presence out here. in fact, the bodies of the two victims are still out here, one in the street and one just on the sidewalk. i was told by richmond police just a short time ago that the shooting actually occurred when the two victims were still inside a vehicle. the vehicle still here as well. let's show you what it looked like from sky 7 just after it happened this afternoon. the gunshots rang out about quarter to 4:00 here in this otherwise quiet naked. at least that's what neighbors tell us there. were multiple shots fired. two victims killed here on the street. and then police say a third was taken by ambulance, by airlift actually to a local hospital. let's show you what it looks like on the ground. again there is a huge police presence here. dozens of richmond police officers here on the scene investigating, placing evidence

markers, doing all the things that they do unfortunately when something like this unfolds. we did hear from a witness, a man who lives just a few yards from where the shooting took place. his name is bob mckeon. >> it was like bap bap bap bap bap and pause and bap bap bap bap bap. i'd say probably ten shots. >> we have no suspects at this time, but we're investigating as we speak. >> do you know if the suspect or suspects fled into the neighborhood? >> we do not have that information right now. as i said, we are investigating it, and we'll follow up on all the leads. >> and just within the past half hour, a heartbreaking scene out here. we're showing some video down the street when it appeared that family members of one of the victims showed up here at the scene. they are all gathered down at the other end of the street where police have given them at least a few details. as for the search for the suspect, police tell me at this point, they don't know yet

whether the suspects were in a vehicle or whether this unfolded with them on foot, either one or several suspects still not sure. they do say, though, that there is no immediate danger in this area. they do believe that the suspect or suspects has left the area. they are going door to door, though, trying to gather more information. live in richmond, laura anthony, abc7 news. >> lives torn apart for those families. thank you, laura. new at 6:00, san francisco district attorney george gascon is resigning from his office. "the san francisco chronicle" reports gascon is planning to move to los angeles to explore running for district attorney there. the paper reports his last day in office will be october 18th before his term is up. mayor breed can immediately name a replacement or wait until after the november election to appoint the district attorney-elect. in a statement tonight, she didn't specify her plans, but said in part we can't afford to have an absence of leadership in the d.a.'s office because

victims of crime need to be represented, and people who commit crimes in our city need to be held accountable. also at 6:00, a woman is under arrest attempting to kidnap a boy near a vacaville elementary school. police say they were called out to cooper elementary just aft8: this morning. they say the suspect came up to a 4-year-old boy, grabbed him by the hand and started leading him away from the campus. a parent intervened and grabbed the child from the woman who has been identified as 56-year-old aline caringal. she was arrested a short time later. the child is okay. we are learning new details about the woman police say ran over two pedestrians at rancho san antonio open space preserve near cupertino this week. officials say she also struck a deputy's car, and that she is now charged with murder. abc7 news reporter chris nguyen has the latest. >> reporter: tonight investigators with the santa clara county sheriff's office describe a terrifying ordeal on a popular trail. >> this does appear to be an intentional act. not an accident.

>> reporter: prosecutors believe 50-year-old mireya orta is responsible for a deadly rampage at the rancho san antonio open space preserve near cupertino tuesday afternoon. authorities say orta rammed her audi sedan into two men in separate areas of the park, killing one of them. orta has now been charged with murder with the use of a deadly weapon as well as premeditated attempted murder and resisting an officer. >> one of our responding deputies happened to catch her right as she was about to exit, at which point she made a u-turn, and she rachled one of the other deputies that was following. >> according to court documents, officials say orta got on to the permanente creek trail where she hit a man with her car, intentionally reversed and drove back and forth over his body multiple times as seen by a witness and a park ranger. investigators say orta fled the initial scene and later tried to hit another man walking on the trail.

he dove to the ground to avoid getting hit and then took cover behind an oak tree. sky 7 was overhead as the sheriff's office launched its investigation. >> that park is frequented by a lot of families, children, hikers. so just really be aware of your surroundings and be safe. >> abc7 news went to orta's home in santa clara where a neighbor said she had lived alone for the past year. he says police have conducted multiple welfare checks there in recent months. authorities do not believe the suspect had any relation to the victims who appear to have been attacked at random. orta is expected in court tomorrow for her arraignment. for now she remains at the county jail, where she is being held without bail. we're in san jose tonight. i'm chris nguyen, abc7 news. >> chris, thank you. now to the race for 2020. former vice president joe biden is in the bay area today for three private fundraisers. this as president trump called on china to investigate biden's son. abc7 news reporter liz kreutz is in palo alto with more on biden's visit. liz?

>> good evening, ama. we're outside evia right now, the upscale greek restaurant where biden held his first fundraiser of the day. he did not talk about the president's comments inside this event. we asked him about it after. he sort of brushed it off, as you'll see, we also wanted to ask him about his strategy here in the bay area. we know he has held a number of private fundraisers now, but he has yet to hold a public campaign event. as he left a fundraiser in palo alto, former vice president joe biden kept his comments short and to the point. >> i don't listen much to what the president has to say. >> that's how the democratic candidate responded to questions about the impeachment inquiry into president trump. >> china should start an investigation into the bide dense. >> and the president's new request to china to investigate his son. biden's donors back him up. >> i'm here today to make sure that everybody who comes in that door understands how fortunate we are to have a guy like joe biden. >> joe biden and his son walking away with millions of dollars

from ukraine. >> they're going after his other son and his this and that is outrageous. outrageous. >> biden is in town to raise money. he has no public campaign events. in fact, since his campaign launched, he hadn't had any public campaign events in the bay area, this despite a new poll from the public policy institute of california that says in california, biden is in a virtual three-way tie alongside elizabeth warren and bernie sanders. we asked jeremy white, a political reporter at politico about why this might be. >> according to that poll, elizabeth warren enjoys the strongest support in the bay area, and joe biden is strongest in the l.a. area. i think focusing on areas of geographic strength is certainly a strategy some campaigns could be pursuing. >> if it's a strategy, it's one david reiderman, who attended biden's fundraiser hopes candidates avoid. >> i hope the democratic candidates don't treat northern california as just one big atm machine. >> and take a look at this.

biden's third quarter fundraising numbers just came out while he was at this fundraiser. you can see him here. he raised $15.2 million. that's $10 million less than bernie sanders. $4 million less than pete buttigieg. so despite these big fundraisers, it does seem on the money front he is somewhat lagging behind. as for the rest of his time in the bay area, in addition to this fundraiser, he has two more fundraisers in san francisco, including one that was at the home of senator dianne feinstein. live in palo alto, liz kreutz, abc7 news. >> thank you, liz. bernie sanders may be off the campaign trail, but his emergency heart surgery this week won't be keeping him off the debate stage. today a campaign spokesperson announced sanders will attend the next democratic presidential debate on october 15th in ohio. san francisco's hardly strictly bluegrass festival starts tomorrow, and for the first time it will have a fenced perimeter. that's just one of several security changes being made following the gilroy garlic festival shooting. lyanne melendez is live to explain what to expect if you're

today crews were filling up safety water barriers, removable hydraulic plates were also brought in for added protection. there are several emergency exits throughout the park. here's what you need to know -- >> please don't bring coolers. we want people to bring your goods in a clear plastic backpack or a clear plastic bag so people can see what you got. >> the alleged shooter at the garlic festival bypassed security by cutting through a fence. at hardly strictly, there will be not one, not two, but three fences. park rangers, police and private security will be patrolling in between those lanes of fences. today mounted police surveyed the area. the chief said this is the new normal. >> so our response is we have upped our deployment. we definitely you saw in outside lands, we had our tactical officers out there in full tactical gear. we want peoplet wethe. >> the same kind of security will be present during fleet week the following weekend.

>> it's additional patrols. it's protection of the water, both from for during the parade of ships and during the blue angels air show. >> and the festival starts tomorrow, friday at soon, and it will continue through sunday evening. now one word of advice i would download this amazing app, hsb-19. it tells you -- it gives you a map. it tells you who's performing, when they're performing, where they're performing. it will make your life a lot easier. i'm live in san francisco, lyanne melendez, abc7 news. >> good tip. thank you, lyanne. ah, you know that. this weekend also marks the official start of fleet week. all eyes will be on the sky. >> including those of abc7 news weather anchor spencer christian keeping an eye on the forecast. >> it will be hardly strictly october weather.

new at 6:00, a breathalyzer type test not for alcohol, but for opioids. it's been developed at uc davis. researchers tried out the test on patients who were taking opioids like morphine and oxycontin. researchers still need to try it on a larger group of subjects. a breath test for opioids would be an easier and faster alternative to a blood test. the nation is in an opioid epidemic with 130 americans dying every day from an opioid overdose. well, it's hard to call this anything but disgusting, what you're about to see. hundreds of old tires dumped in southern mendocino county, and in the most sensitive environments too. wayne freedman has more just south of hopland. >> old tires worn and spent, stacked like dark tomb stones. but this isn't a garbage dump. it's the russian river watershed in southern mendocino county, where most drivers heed signs,

but clearly not all of them. >> it's just a shock. >> it's trash. it's filth. >> reporter: chris and chris are stewards of the local environment. in the last month they have found multiple dump sites and hundreds of tires. but these things are toxic. they break down. they're made out of petroleum products. and rubber is not friendly to water. >> the mystery of course who is who dumped these tires. where did they come from? there may be clues. these stickers. >> every tire has a serial number tied to a warranty and is in someone's computer. it seems really toes find out what shop they came from. >> while the mendocino sheriff's office continues to investigate, it has been difficult for chris to stand idly by, especially when cleaning up such messes is part of his dna. he and his packout green team have already hauled some 200 tires from another location, but with so many more -- >> every time one of these shredded up tires wanders down river, kids, people, fish, they're going to cut themselves.

steel belts are very sharp. >> so true. just downstream, miguel elliott avoided a couple of tires this afternoon. >> thoughtless, careless, disrespectful. >> paradise not yet lost, but certainly tossed. from mendocino county, wayne freedman, abc7 news. the fight over phones. what really motives people to put them down? in august, we told you about san mateo high school, which banned cell phones for the entire day, making students put their devices into lockable pouchs. it's the largest public school to make such a move. thousands of viewers shared our story, and many educators talked about their frustration with cell phone use in classes. now one school in san francisco is trying a different method, using rewards instead of bans. abc7 news reporter kris reyes found out how it works. >> it's called pocket point, and it's one of the many ways teachers are trying to get their students off their phones. since it launched in 2014,

20,000 schools and two million students are using it across the country. here is how it works. you sign up. a timer logs how long you've been off your phone. you earn points for every minute logged. those points lead to rewards. we talked to one teacher in san francisco who says it's worked wonders for her class. >> 2,613 hours off of their phone. we have a total of 74 students and 54 incentives have been completed. >> and that's just after one month of use. as for the rewards, here are some student favorites. >> homework pass, because i don't get to do my homework for one day. >> grade dropped, because that's really nice. what happens if you have a bad grade. >> banning orally. ing cell phone use in classrooms has been a hot topic with educates across the country. this fall san mateo became the largest public school to do an all-day ban, forcing students to lock their phones in pouchs. a common sense media study shows teens spend about seven hours of screen time a day. >> i think foreme as an english teacher, i feel like with social

media and all these other things that you can get on your phone, it's actually decreased literacy. >> anyone can set rewards, not just teachers. the founders of pocket points work with local businesses for other incentives, including coupons and discounts. >> we wanted to make something that students could really get on board with and really enjoy it. so we went with the carrot versus the stick. >> so you can utilize your ogolor them in a space where they can learn. >> they gave more of a competition to being, and it made it more entertaining to not be on your phone. >> kris reyes, abc7 news. >> it's a challenge. >> adults too. >> we're guilty too. let's look ahead to our weather, because getting close to the weekend. >> really close. spencer christian is here with really nice looking october forecast. >> and it is a nice look, as we look ahead. here is live doppler 7.

now news to build a better bay area from abc7. >> the bay area needs more housing and better transit. could these two demands compliment each other, or will they only compete? >> you know, some bart riders worry that the system's vision for the future will undermine their needs for today. >> our efforts to build a better bay area means looking at the big picture changes being made. as part of a long-term plan, bart is converting many parking spots to high density housing, in some cases mixed with retail, calling it a transient-oriented development. >> those who depend on and live near el cerritos plaza station seen here from droneview7 worry about the possibility of losing hundreds of parking spaces. >> abc7 news reporter laura

anthony has the story because a community meeting on the topic is starting right now. >> some bart riders worry that all this parking at el cerrito's plaza station will some day become a thing of the past. >> if anything, the parking needs to be increased. >> dodi is concerned that bart's planned transit oriented development which calls for replacing surface parking with high density housing will essentially wipe out most, if not all of this station's 750 spaces. >> the idea is to move away from parking and toward transient-oriented development, meaning they want to get you out of your cars. >> we are out of our cars by taking bart. and so many of us, this is a small distance we're driving, and we're now off of 80 and going into the city. >> but bart director rebecca salzman who lives in el cerrito told abc news the fears are

premature. >> no decision has been made at this point about how much parking to replace at the station. we know that not everybody can walk and bike to the station. >> bart has rolled out an expansive tod plan that calls for the construction of 7,000 affordable housing units on bart property by 2040. at least 20% of the units at any given station must be affordable. 35% overall. demolition of the surface lot at the walnut creek station is now under way, but there bart committed to replacing 100% of the spaces. at the plaza station, bart has made no such promise. >> i think that it would definitely cause a lot more cars to park on the neighborhood streets, which wouldn't be ideal for most of the residents here. >> in el cerrito, laura anthony, abc7 news. >> abc7 news devoted a week to covering bart as part of our commitment to building a better bay area. you can see all the storieses on our website, abc7news.com/better bay area. four people are dead after a

thousand illnesses in 48 states and one u.s. territory. doctors say the illness can resemble chemical burns. symptoms include severe shortness of breath, fatigue and chest pain. so far officials have not pinpointed a single device, liquid, or ingredient. most who got sick were vaping with products containing thc. >> if you don't smoke or vape now, please don't start. but if you do i urge you to stop and get some help immediately. while quitting might seem rather difficult, going through this is far worse. >> half a dozen e-cigarette companies have been ordered to turn over sales and advertising data by the ftc. the order is the first sign of a likely probe into marketing practices. a library of lives lost. the los angeles police department and the fbi have just opened a homicide library. it's a place to hold the murder books, the investigative files of cases, including those that are still unsolved.

annabelle munoz from our sister station in los angeles found out it's not just for detectives, but families too. >> this is bigger than we could ever imagine. we though -- >> this is huge. >> oh my god, this is us. thank you, lord. >> reporter: she was elated as she stepped into this homicide library for the first time. hawkins' son was murdered in 19 1996. this library is where homicide records will be stored and digit advertised in hopes of solving cold cases like hawkins'. >> matt was not just an injury to a mother or to a son or to a daughter or to a cousin, but to families and to communities that skated from one generation to the next. >> it's like a dream come true. but it's bigger than what i ever imagined. it's like at christmas time, you're thinking your parent is going to buy you one thing, aed when you wake up, the whole room is full of stuff. that's what's behind here. this is awesome. >> it's been years in the makes.

with the unveiling of the library, families can come look through the physical records at the recruit training center. >> there is a soft room here where ultimately they can meet with the detective, and that detective can basically take out the original book. >> the lapd plans to digitize all murder cases dating back to the '60s. >> if it's digit advertiized th have the entire book sent to them. >> three detectives are working to digitize all of the records. the books here represent deep pain for the families of murder victims. hawkins says the library they're in can bring hope to some. >> to families where children's cases were never solved. and we never want to give up. we always want to believe there is some help. >> annabelle munoz, abc7 news. it has been almost a year since the camp fire burned through butte county, practically destroying the town of paradise.

victims of the las vegas mass shooting have reached a settlement that will pay co tllectively up to $800 milli. the deal settles several lawsuits with mgm resort, the owner of manned day ldalay bay. that's where the gunman opened fire killing 58 people and wounding hundreds of others at an outdoor music concert. yesterday was the second anniversary of the shooting. next month is one year since california's deadliest and most destructive wildfire sparked. the camp fire in butte county claimed 85 lives and wiped out 95% of the housing in paradise. it will mark a milestone in a recovery process that is far from over. to get some perspective, mike duffy from our sister station in sacramento talked with zillow about the long-term impact on the housing market. >> as we approach the one-year anniversary of the camp fire, how have things changed? new data shows the average home purchase price skyrocketed

immediately following the destruction. >> we have seen some pretty significant price and rent spikes for housing in the places affected by the camp fire. we're still seeing effects of that lingering today. >> between october and november of 2018, home prices rose by an average of $75,000 in butte county, $60,000 in tehama county and $19,000 in yuba county. and the trend has continued. >> but over the winter into early 2019, we saw rents and home values climb really strongly. so we're seeing 2% month over month increases, which is actually pretty unusual. and then things never just dropped back down. sort of has stayed at the elevated levels since then. they're up 13% year-over-year now in butte county. so we're seeing a median home price of $318,000 for the area now. which is it was way under $300,000 before the fire. >> the housing just isn't being

built to meet the need. >> butte county saw just 700 to 800 homes built per year over the last several years. so compared to the scale of destruction in these fires, we're just note able to kind of replace those homes quickly. so if another fire comes along, we would again see a lot of displacement, a lot of people who take a long time to find new homes. >> the new dynamic is quickly changing the perception of areas that used to be viewed as affordable, and it could get worse depending on future weather. >> i think the experience with the camp fire showed that these are real dangers. we saw in that fire alone close to 20,000 homes were destroyed. that tens of thousands of families displaced. and we're just not building that many homes in california right now. >> yeah, that was mike duffy reporting. in fact, in the latest weekly recovery update from the town of paradise, the number of homes rebuilt is five. >> that's kind of staggering. >> that is. well, taking a look outside

now abc sports. >> billy beane has described the play-offs in the past as a crapshoot, and his team keeps coming up snake eyes. after a 97-win season, the a's are one an done in the play-offs. the second straight year and the ninth time in franchise history the a's have lost a winner take all play-off game, falling 5-1 to the rays last night. more disappointment for a club that can't get over the top. amidst the frustration, there is some positive sign out there. that's the knowledge that the a's look to be loaded with healthy starting pitching next year, and figure to challenge for the a.l. west title. >> you know, we've won a lot of games the last couple of years. what we need to do probably is win the division if we want to play a longer series. we're in a tough division as it is. but, you know, proud of what they did this year. we just got beat one game, and everybody -- in there is pretty upset about it. >> you know, i'm sorry to our fans we let them down and we let each other down. we win as a team and lose as a

team. i'd have shawn go run back out there and do it all over again. it's nobody's fault. it's just we needed to play better as a team, and we got to learn from it and grow. >> tonight cardinals/braves. atlanta led 3-1 heading into the eighth. but reliever chris martin strained his oblique warming up. in comes luke jackson. first batter paul goldschmidt, goldmember, crushed. 446 feet. the cards tie the game at three apiece. to the ninth, still tied at three. mark melancon loads the base. doubles down the left field line. two runs score. melancon allows for runs in the inning as the cardinals win 7-6. the warriors play the first preseason game saturday night against the lakers. after today we know one guy is certainly fired up and ready to go. that would be damian lee. the 6'6" shooting guard is

fighting for playing time. he is on one of the two-way contracts. he could bounce between the warriors and the g league team. at this point in his career, lee is best known for being steph curry's brother-in-law. he married steph's sister seidel. he clearly does not want to talk than story line anymore. >> i've gone through a lot of [ bleep ] in my career to get me to this point. and i don't want anyone in the media, whether it's here, whether it's across the country, across the world to disrespect me, disrespect my family, disrespect the front office here in golden state for believing in me, for knowing my abilities, knowing what i could do. and i just want to lay that out tonight line right now that going forward this year, there is no family questions. there is no what's this, what's that. like at the end of the day, when i'm here in between the lines mix, nine to five, this is my job. i'm thankful. i'm blessed. i'm healthy. i love my family. and everyone knows i don't have any beef with the media. i can answer any question. but at the end of the day, there is no family, there is nothing of that sort because i worked

hard to get to the spot where i am. >> okay. next question. last year the raiders flew to london late. they got blasted by seattle. so this year jon gruden decided to fly directly from indianapolis straight to england to get acclimated a few more days on the ground while the chicago bears, they're flying in tomorrow for sunday's game. along with practice, the silver and black trying to take in the sights. rookie hunter renfroe said this is his first time traveling overseas. took in some london culture by checking out what they call a football game. >> so i went to the tottenham soccer game, i guess, football over here. that was such a fun experience. just everybody cheering the whole game. it's something, i was asking all the people around me, what's the difference between american football and football over here. and they just said american ec bball they don't leikau itse stops and goes, stops and goes. whereas over here, it's on and on and on and on. >> the 49ers play the browns on monday night football, but they

already scored a big win this week. participating in the third annual crucial catch fashion show featuring 19 cancer survivors. they put on a show accompanied by 20 niners players, and the goal is simple, beat cancer. >> you can never do enough to spread awareness. the fact to come in and celebrate the people for what they have overcome, i mean, they deserve it. they deserve as much recognition as we do playing football. and the fact that we can give back to them and make them feel special, even for an hour or two on a runway, that's what matters. >> so great job by the 49ers in that cause. and erik karlsson missioned the first sharks game last night. he put out word on social media. his wife just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. so congratulations to the family. >> all right. thanks, larry. join us tonight for abc7 news at 11:00. >> i'm amanda del castillo in san jose. leaders across santa clara county are working on another five-year plan to end homelessness. tonight they're talking about those actions. i'll have that story at 11:00.
