every precaution. that ended peacefully. we did not see violence out of that situation. the car, nothing came out of the car, no one was in there. it didn't look like. so they were all okay. we've been told that no officers have been injured in the situation. but they are still here and have a wide footprint here at airway boulevard. so you will want to avoid this area. there's a 24-hour starbucks here that is popular. difficult if impossible to access now. there's a 24-hour fitness. you will have to take an extra exit. give yourself more time. they have not told us when they'll reopen the area. they say there is no threat to the public right now. we have seen two people taken away in handcuffs. one was taken to a police car. another taken away by ambulance, he was conscious. we saw him sitting up and talking. so it appeared he is okay. he was taken away for treatment. reporting live in livermore, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. >> thank you. safety, a major challenge

wondering what happened. we hear the crooks are getting smarter about this, too. they know to turn off the phone completely so you're unable to use one of those find my iphone or similar features to help locate your stolen device. earlier i spoke with a b.a.r.t. rider at the millbrae station who said he has seen one of these thefts happen. >> she was on the phone-like this. right by the door. snatched it, ran out the door before anyone could do anything. i would think that would help, but it's -- it's hard to stop that. >> he was referring to increased patrols. we'll talk about that in a second. i want to give you an update on which stations are targeted most often. the number one tar getttargeted is the balboa park station. they had 118 cell phone and laptop thefts that were reported last year. that is up from just 65 in 2018. that's followed by the oakland coliseum station with 103 reported thefts last year. that's nearly double the 53 reported in 2018. the safest two stations,

pittsburg and west dublin with no thefts or robberies reported there. b.a.r.t. police are cracking down by focusing on nights and weekends. they have 12 officers that will be patrolling and trying to act as a deterrent. the most important thing is keep your head on a swivel and be aware of your surroundings. julian glover, abc7 news. >> thank you. we learned about this from phil matier's column, it's every wednesday and sunday in the "san francisco chronicle" coming up in the next hour, we're sitting down with the b.a.r.t. director, bevan duffy. we will talk about what's being done to improve your ride to work. this morning in las vegas, police are still looking for the shooter who wounded three people at a shopping mall. police say a fight took a violent turn when someone pulled

and sun. looking at low 60s for highs. we're getting warmer out there the next couple of days. lots of activity this morning. jobina? >> that's right. lots of activity. we'll start off with this developing news out of livermore. it was breaking earlier this morning. the police department did confirm to us they are investigating an officer-involved shooting. this is a live look at the scene. we do know that no officers were hurt in this. they also have suspects in custody. there are no outstanding suspects now. abc7 news reporter amy hollyfield is on the scene there. did watch officers take someone in handcuffs and in an ambulance. that person is still talking. also moving on to a commuter alert right now, b.a.r.t., ten-minute delay for the san francisco line. that is headed towards antioch due to smoke being reported in the tunnel. i want to get to julian glover who is at the san bruno station with more on this. good morning. >> good morning. moments ago, a police officer with san bruno confirmed to me

that all of this is on reports of smoke coming from the tunnel. you can see a number of san bruno fire department engines and ladder trucks and personnel on scene this morning. again, investigating reports of smoke inside of the tunnel. i went over to ask the battalion chief for additional information. he tells me he can't give me information because his firemen are in the tunnel trying to get to the bottom of what happened. the latest report from b.a.r.t. is that ten-minute delay between san francisco international airport and san bruno on the san francisco line heading to the antioch direction. it says this is due to a problem on the track and equipment problem. very little details being released now. a number of people are walking in and out of the station. they're not stopping anyone from going into the san bruno station. when we got here, we did not see smoke or flames. so still waiting word on what

happened here. as soon as we get those additional details we'll bring them to you on air and on our social media platforms. reporting live outside of the san bruno b.a.r.t. station, julian glover, abc7 news. >> hopefully that will be resolved quickly. more on breaking news unfolding in livermore. police confirmed they were involved in an officer-involved shooting. >> police surrounded a vehicle with weapons drawn. amy hollyfield is live on the scene with those details. amy? >> kumasi, no sign yet of when they're going to be reopening airway boulevard. it doesn't look like any time soon. city crews were just out here reinforcing this closure. they put up more barricades as a car did manage to make its way on to this off-ramp which upset the officers. more barricades here to reinforce this. it's shut down. do not take the exit off of 580.

there's a large police presence here. we have seen two people taken away in handcuffs it looks like there were incidents as far as people involved, but they're still here gathering evidence and having the area blocked off. don't plan on getting to this starbucks, a 24-hour starbucks on airway boulevard. i want to show you video of what happened when we first arrived here. it was an intense scene, officers had weapons drawn, police dogs out and a drone watching from up above. they were approaching a car worried there could be a threat to them. this was an officer-involved shooting. we were told no officers were hurt in this incident. we saw two people they took into custody who appeared to be okay. one was taken away in a police car. one was taken away in an ambulance. he had handcuffs on, but he was up, alert, conscious and talking. so at this point, that's all the details police have given us.

we don't know when this will be reopening. if you use this 24-hour fitness, this starbucks at 580 and airway boulevard, keep in mind this is happening and this ramp is closed. reporting live from livermore, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. >> the impeachment showdown is heating up today on capitol hill. the rules are now set and today the house prosecution team will make their case against president trump. senators approved the rules for the trial late last night after a 12-hour long session. the house managers and the white house counsel got into a fiery debate at one point. >> but president trump does not want you to hear from ambassador bolton, and the reason has nothing to do with executive privilege or this other nonsense. >> the only one who should be embarrassed, mr. nadler, is you. >> the bickering forced chief justice john roberts to admonish both sides. >> i think it is appropriate at this point for me to admonish

both the house managers and the president's counsel in equal terms to remember that they are addressing the world's greatest deliberative body. >> reporter: senate majority mitch mcconnell did make some changes to his proposed rules, he will give three days for opening statements and will allow findings from the house inquiry admitted into the trial. democrats wanted to call witnesses but senate republicans voted that down. abc news will bring you the trial live. 6:36 this morning. an ac transit board is expected to back a proposal today for a bus-only lane on the bay bridge. >> the idea is controversial. it will speed up buses on the bridge but take away a driving lane for cars and trucks. the idea was floated by rob bonta after someone suggested the idea on his facebook page. proponents say it will make bus trips faster. caltrans has opposed the idea which has been considered

before. the mtc has not made the bus lane priority. the b.a.r.t. board director has also thrown her support behind the concept. new this morning, a warning for b.a.r.t. riders. phone thefts are on the rise. how many victims made themselves easy targets and we have b.a.r.t. board member bevan duffy in the studio to talk about the issue. and hanging out with jerry rice. the 49er legend talks about the super bowl and why the niners will win. and a live look at the new york stock exchange. we're up this morning points. all three markets closed down yesterday after worries about the coronavirus. it looks like we're doing okay so far. >> we'll get to those stories in a little bit. first, is the rain over? >> the rain is pretty much over. it did linger yesterday when it got here. even this morning we had mist and drizzle. you can see some returns over

here. a lot of this is not reaching the ground. some of it is underneath our radar beam. visibility in miles, just over a mile in livermore. better around the bay here. but hayward is at a mile. you can see a quarter mile for all the reporting stations up in the north bay. our exploratorium camera, 52 in redwood city. 54 in san jose. mild to start out. light winds. moisture out there and the fog. sfo, no delays yet. 46 in santa rosa. 52 in concord. for the start of the day, it's mild. it's a little bit damp. certainly use caution out there with some fog. you heard about some of the delays for b.a.r.t. and our advisory for beach hazards statement expires at 9:00 this morning. still a little dangerous at the coast and those waves will be subsiding as we get through the afternoon. 57 in richmond. 58 in napa. look at the east bay, 60 in livermore. 63 in morgan hill.

then tonight we have fog, numbers will be milder and the look ahead, mild each and every day, but still a mix of sun and clouds out there. jobina? >> good morning. it's been a busy morning for issues impacting our commuters. starting in livermore, this is a live picture showing you airway boulevard. it is completely shut down now while police investigate an officer-involved shooting. the livermore police department did confirm there are no outstanding suspects. no officers hurt in this incident. abc7 news reporter amy hollyfield is on the scene. she did witness someone being placed in handcuffs and put in an ambulance. that person was speaking at the time. they say there is no threat to the public right now. also the airway boulevard off-ramp from eastbond 580 in livermore is shut down. moving over to san bruno, we do have an issue involving b.a.r.t. right now. we did confirm that a train operator spotted smoke inside the tunnel. this is at the san bruno

station. all antioch bound trains between the sfo station and the san bruno station are operating on a ten-minute delay. julian glover is at this scene and is providing updates for us. just one more update. that's ace 1, operating on an 11-minute delay. that's because of maintenance issues that will be going on in 2016 i warned thatt donald trump was a dangerous demagogue, and when the republican congress

wouldn't hold him accountable, i went to work helping run winning campaigns in twenty-one house seats. it's time for the senate to act and remove trump from office, and if they won't do their jobs, this november you and i will. i'm mike bloomberg and i approve this message.

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ wherever we want to go, we just have to start. autosave your way there with chase.

chase. make more of what's yours. obviously safety on b.a.r.t. is a major challenge in the effort to build a better bay area. this morning we're learning about a huge spike in laptop and cell phone thefts. >> this is according to abc news contributor and chronicle insider phil matier. here are the numbers, 512 last year on trains running through san francisco stations. >> system-wide, we devices were stolen last year. we have with us today b.a.r.t.

board director bevan duffy to talk about what's going on and the effort b.a.r.t. is making to combat these numbers. obviously many more of us have more electronic devices, so there's that, but also people have found a pretty easy way to make a quick buck. >> it's true. and what we can say for b.a.r.t. is that we're happy there's a new chief in town. we have a new chief of the b.a.r.t. police station. in 2019 we hired 63 additional new officers. we had a shortage. what the chief has done is that we have lateral transfers who come in to the department, 12 of them, and so they are not getting cars, they're not going to have electric theirstrictly riding the trains and talking with passengers. we will also have ten community

service officers. a physical presence on the trains is an important thing. on sunday, a woman was knocked down on a platform at glenn park by four juveniles what b.a.r.t. did was to run the trains through the station, so they did not stop. there was no way for these young people to get out. two were arrested, two were returned to their parents. so that type of response will help turn the numbers around in 2020. >> we love to hear about what b.a.r.t. is doing. even when you're on the train, you always want to make sure you're doing what you need to do. are there certain people being targeted or things we might be doing in making ourselves targets? >> mostly the common factor is just not being aware, being deep into candy crush or whatever it is you're doing that morning. particularly when the doors open. that's when the opportunity exists to grab something and jump off of a train. so, i don't want to chastise our riders. they should be able to ride safely, but i do think being

aware is important. but we have a job to do and i'm proud of our chief ed alvarez. i think we'll be doing a much better job this year. >> as phil writes in his column, it sounds like at least on the san francisco side of things the majority of crimes are happening in the downtown area to just outside of downtown, right? the core of the city back and forth. people getting on the train, grabbing your stuff before the doors close, run out, and then phil's column says they're selling primarily outside the civic center station. that's kind of the market for these phones. people should be aware when they're in those areas. is that where some officers you're talking about, they're concentrating in that area? >> yes, they'll be in the downtown core area of san francisco. that's where the focus will be but also coliseum station was -- had the largest number of thefts in the east bay and the chief has designated two officers to just be there. they will not be getting on to trains or going to other stations. they're strictly going to be at the coliseum station to really have an impact there.

again, we're trying a lot of strategies. i think that's where there's a lot of excitement about our chief. he was our deputy chief. he has a lot of ideas. i think the public and riders will be happy to see things change. >> last year you were able to make arrests in 67% of the cases. how do you feel you'll be able to do this year? >> i think it's going to continue on that track. we have 25 vacancies. i think our b.a.r.t. police department is the strongest it's been. i want to encourage people to apply and be b.a.r.t. police officers and so we're hoping to add another 19 officers. we've been severely understaffed. we want to have a bay area class police department, a community policing focus. letting the public see them, feel safer. we need to have more riders on nights and weekends. i think having these officers there will give people confidence >> i want to ask you something we talked about earlier in the show, that's the idea of perhaps taking a bus lane away from the bridge, the bay bridge -- or put

a bus lane on the bay bridge and taking a car traffic lane away. we heard from some members of the b.a.r.t. board. do you have an opinion on this subject? >> i'm for it. absolutely. i have a 13-year-old, we're going to have to change the way we do things for the future of our planet. so, dedicating a bus lane so that buses can move more quickly and make it a competitive or preferred means of transit across the bay bridge is important. b.a.r.t. already takes twice as many individuals than those who travel by cars across the bay bridge. we'll have more trains. we're going to have a new train control system that will increase our through put in rush hour by 25%. but the reality is we need to do everything possible to make it competitive for people to want to use mass transit and to reduce emissions. >> thank you so much for joining us. >> wonderful. great to see you both. >> don't take it slightly that someone gets up as early as we go to be here. >> i don't look quite as fabulous but i'm happy to be here. >> you can read phil matier's column every wednesday and
