present and scheduled to work on weekends. do you think that would have helped in this situation? >> yes, i think so. if johnny, who speaks chinese on my team, maybe he could have been there to talk to him to let him know what was going on and possibly help him get out of there. >> while racial slurs can be heard in the video, san francisco police have not yet called the incident a hate crime. they're investigating and attempting to locate and identify the victim and witnesses. offers to help the victim and his family financially, they are pouring in from all over the world. but those funds can't be given out until that victim is identified. once again, sfpd encourages those who know anything about the incident to call their anonymous tip line. live in the newsroom, dion lim, abc7 news. >> okay, dion, thanks. breaking news in castro valley. that's where highway patrol officers are looking for a driver who left the scene after hitting a 12-year-old girl. sky 7 flew above that scene at

sky 7 and manta road. the girl was in a crosswalk when a pickup truck struck her just before 3:30 this afternoon. about an hour and a half ago. the victim suffered very serious injuries. chp officers tell us they're looking for a black chevrolet truck, and that pickup appears to be lifted, meaning it has a special suspension system. developing news. silicon valley's water supply could be taking a hit in the name of earthquake safety. federal regulators have ordered anderson reservoir, the largest in the county to be drained by august 1. federal dam inspectors found the reservoir pose as risk of collapse during a strong earthquake. the water district is now exploring getting other sources of water from outside of the county. the mcclymonds high school campus in oakland is still off limits to students and staff as air testing continues for a cancer-causing chemical. abc7 news reporter kris reyes has the story now on when the campus could reopen.

>> today we were angry as well. we didn't really get anywhere. >> reporter: bea hendricks just attended a meeting for mcclymonds's parents. many of them worry about more than just the safety of her kids. her son is a junior at the school, plays football, but right now he is home without sports. >> the scouts look into your grades and what you've been doing your junior year because they want to know if they even want to talk to you your senior year. >> classes are set to resume at three different locations. ninth gradelers go to ralph bunche. tenth and 11th to west oakland middle, and 12 gridders to westlake middle. >> we do have cushion built in to make sure we get them educated. meantime our students have been doing work at home. >> mcclymonds will remain closed as air testing on property continues. final results are expected at the end of the week. preliminary tests from the weekend showed zero levels of tce throughout the school. but with two student deaths from cancer in recent years, parents are skeptical. >> we're hesitant to allow them to go back because we're not

sure, like i said, again, what are the acceptable levels of this. >> the school shut down last week after tce was found in groundwater near the school. officials have yet to trace where it came from, but there are several hazardous waste sites in west oakland. >> we know there is all kinds of distrust, and rightfully so. this is a situation where people of color, poor people have always frankly gotten the shaft in our country. and we need to change this. >> now another meet willing be taking place for parents here at west oakland middle school in about a half hour or so. they do hope to keep the students busy this week with field trips. school officials tell me they hope to have mcclymonds open by next monday. in oakland, kris reyes for abc7 news. >> okay, kris, thanks a lot. in the south bay, santa clara county supervisors are expected to approve funding that would help make homes safer. that money would be dedicated to a county gun team. their target making sure people with domestic violence, restraining orders don't have

firearms. abc7 news reporter chris nguyen explains how that would work. >> reporter: in santa clara county, a new law enforcement team could soon be created to help identify and remove firearms from gangster, felons, or those who are the subject of domestic violence restraining orders. >> although we remain overall safe, we're dealing with a problem that if we don't get our hands around it, we're going to continue to see carnage and devastation. >> this week, county supervisors could vote on a plan to add five new members to the district attorney's crime strategies unit, including a dedicated prosecutor and investigator using a combination of general funds and grant money. >> the goal is to keep the victim as far away from the perpetrator as possible. it shouldn't be up to the victim to resay i think the person still has firearms. >> last june san jose police responded to a quadruple murder/suicide driven by a family dispute in what would become one of the deadliest shootings in city history. the gunman was a convicted felon who was barred from having a firearm. aggravated assaults have been on

the rise in san jose in recent years, but police continue to plug away, getting illegal weapons off the streets as seen by here in pictures shared by the department. >> we're going to have more on that on the administrative side. we can really focus in on some of the cases. >>ty and county officials urging the public to call 911 if you're a victim or witness of gun violence. >> on the other end of that phone is going to be a law enforcement part fwhoer is linked with us and who through this county is committed to actually deploying a strategy to disarm dangerous people. >> in the south bay, chris nguyen, abc7 news. today speaker of the house nancy pelosi visited san francisco's chinatown, hoping to drum up business for the people she represents on capitol hill. many merchants say customers are staying away amid fears of the coronavirus. last week business owners in okland's chinatown said they've seen sales fall between 50 and up to 75%. abc7 news reporter david louie is on that story. >> a large portion of chinatown

had lost power. that didn't deter speaker nancy pelosi from taking a walk to talk to merchants who had seen a drop in business due to fear of being exposed to coronavirus. >> i'm here. we feel safe and sound so, many of us coming here does not only say it's safe, but to say thank you for being chinatown. >> reporter: at the golden gate fortune cookie factory sales have fallen by hundreds of dollars a day. no one is sick or wearing face masks. >> we want people to care about our small businesses and survival. and hopefully they'll come down. we've got a lot of great places for people to say. >> the owner of the wok shop was thrilled when the speaker dropped in and bought a wok. the store has been in business for 52 years. and the power came back on during her visit, which was considered a good sign. that was the best thing you could do. it's safe. it's wonderful. we welcome everybody. come. keep coming. >> a stop for lunch at dim sun

corner. mrs. pelosi was critical of the president's proposal to cut $1 billion out of the centers for disease control budget at a critical time as coronavirus containment remains uncertain. however, she expressed confidence in health leaders. >> i trust dr. fauci at the national institutes of health, and he seems to have confidence in what we are doing. >> the speaker said there is no reason for people to be in fear. in san francisco chinatown, david louie, abc7 news. still ahead, bart rides the rails between cars and housing. can it find a balance? will commuters pay for the price of development? plus, love them or hate them, it seems self-checkouts are here to stay. and the sights and sounds keeping some folks up at night. i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. sunny and warmer today. sunny and warmer today. i'll let you know how lo you know when you're at ross and... wow! ...you realize you can totally eat out more? that's yes for less. get the latest spring trends for your home at 20 to 60 percent off specialty store prices.

at ross. yes for less. we choose to go to the and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. president kennedy knew settling for half-measures wasn't good enough. so when candidates say we can't guarantee health care for all, make college affordable for all, combat climate change, or create a world at peace, remember that america is best when we strive to do big things, even when it's hard. i'm bernie sanders and i approve this message.

grand now we have to deal withed us this.rs. climate change is an emergency. that's why i wrote the nation's most progressive climate law. and that's why i'm endorsing tom steyer. because when big oil tried to stop our clean air laws, he led us to victory. same with the keystone pipeline. when tom says we can save the world and do it together believe him. i'm tom steyer and i approve this message. exactly what you need... yes. ...for your growing family? that's yes for less. everything your pet needs at 20 to 60 percent off specialty store prices. at ross. yes for less.

getting to bart is getting tougher. the transit agency is working to eliminate parking in order to build housing. but will it make it more difficult for commuters to find a spot for their cars? that's a question chronicle insider phil matier asked bart's general manager. >> you know something? we don't talk about a lot in bart is parking. >> yeah. >> now you guys are building housing all around these bart parking stations, and people feel like one, they're losing parking, and second, the parking permanent process to get a permanent to park at a bart station is off the charts. >> yeah. well, i would say that there is probably no better agency suited right now to help deal with the affordable housing crisis than bart. and developing bart property with housing and complete communities, that's part of the

solution for the affordable housing crisis. and we will look at it. each one of those locations, we'll do an access study and see how much parking replacement is needed there. >> all right. but it always seemed to be less than what was there before. >> it does. but, again, it's right adjacent to a bart transit. >> but wouldn't more people take bart if they could drive to bart and know there was a parking spot for them? >> i think it's on a case-by-case basis. there are stations that are auto-dependent. antioch, we're putting in parking out at antioch. and there are stations at berkeley and el cerrito that we're looking at development there's. and we'll do an access study. >> how much of a tension is there between the city use and the suburban use? >> yeah, i think there is a healthy back and forth. and i think it actually is a good thing because it helps us to land at the right decision. certainly, you know, the suburban and parking and urban and less parking, but i think

that back and forth helps us get to where we need to get. >> and phil's conversation with bart general manager bob powers continues on abc7 news at 6:00. he'll be asking bart what they're doing to keep stations clean. you can, of course, read phil matier's column in "the san francisco chronicle" on wednesdays and sundays. community groups in san francisco have a plan of their own after a developer scrapped a proposal for a historic complex in the mission district. seven years ago maximus real estate announced plans to build a 331 unit market housing development at 16th and mission. mission housing announced today that maximus is selling the land. the housing nonprofit now wants to buy it and build an affordable housing complex instead. filming for "the matrix" is making san francisco's financial district look more like a war zone. this is new video of the movie production overnight. check it out.

low-flying helicopters flew around the ferry building and explosions lit up the night sky. it's all dramatic stuff. the chronicle said people could hear the blasts from miles away. "the matrix 4" has been shooting in the city for several weeks. several people have reported seeing keanu reeves at several locations. we're all keenly looking out for keanu. >> i know. but doesn't that always make you want to see the movie so much more? >> oh, sure. especially if it's shot here in our hometown. >> it's been pleasant working on the movie. >> they've gotten lucky. sandhya patel is here. >> we have dry weather. it doesn't look like any rain, at least notor the workweek. but things may change later on. we have a little bit of a breeze. it is sunny outside. 1 in santa rosa. 61 in petaluma. in the low 70s from fairfield to concord. from the east bay hills we are seeing hazy skies. 60 in the city. 68 in oakland.

san jose you're at 67 degrees. compared to 24 hours ago, running 13 degrees warmer in san carlos and in livermore, and up 7 degrees in napa. so definitely in a warmer pattern. and as we check out the temperature trend going into tomorrow, around 9:00, you're going start off in the 50s, 60s. take your lunch outside. look at the weather. it is going to be absolutely mild at noontime. 60, 70s, and around the afternoon hours, you're going to be looking at mostly 70s. just like today, temperatures are going run well above average for this time of year. a live look right now from our emeryville camera as we look towards the golden gate bridge. it is definitely a sunny skew. here is a look at why we are really possibly going to go into record territory. we've had no measurable rain here in the bay area the entire month of february. so here are some of the record lowest february rainfall totals. santa rosa .08 in 1953. oakland, .21 in 1995.

san francisco had no measurable rain in 1864. and san jose only had .02 in 1953. right now it look likes we're going to close out february on a dry note. but perhaps on march 1 we may be looking at wet weather. just a few passing clouds as we look from our san jose camera. clear overnight. gusty in the hills. above average temps for the workweek with record highs certainly possible. here is a look at the temperatures in the morning. 40s, 50s. the fog will be off the coastline. for the afternoon, you're looking at 67 in the city. 76 san rafael. low 80s for cloverdale, 76 in napa. 75 in concord. 71 in oakland. up to 74 san jose and livermore. i do want to show you the california warmth. it's not going to be bay area wide. redding at 60s, 70s, even los angeles in the 70s the next three days. so we're waiting for that rain. and right now it looks like sierra will see some snow. maybe a slight chance of a few showers. this is just one model. sunday morning that system is going into southern california,

and that same model is bringing in a few hundreds of an inch to the bay area. the other model is dry. accuweather seven-day forecast. sunny and spring-like the next few days with above average warmth and possible records. much cooler for the weekend with a slight chance of showers on sunday. and then we'll go back to the sunshine and gusty winds for monday. kristen and dan? >> same old same old. >> thanks, sandhya. families who have a gripe with american,

try to win by attacking, now, we know the trump strategy- distorting, dividing. mr. president: it. won't. work. newspapers report bloomberg is the democrat trump fears most. as president, universal healthcare that lets people keep their coverage if they like it. a record on job creation. a doable plan to combat climate change. i led a complex, diverse city through 9-11 and i have common sense plans to move america away from chaos to progress! i'm mike bloomberg and i approve this message.

now to consumer news and the new effort to keep families together when flying. >> 7 on your side's michael finney is here with more on that. this is a huge issue. >> we've talked about it quite a bit out here. consumer reports has launched a petition to stop major domestic airlines from charging families to sit together. often aisle and window seats cost more. so to get the best deal, families must be separated when flying. consumer reports doesn't think

that is fair and is asking consumers to sign an online petition drive that urges american, delta, and united airlines to give families a break and not charge them more for sitting together. consumer reports had wanted to gather 50,000 signature. and at last check just a couple of hours ago, fewer than 1500 signatured were needed to meet that goal. "the wall street journal" is reporting that walmart and target are adding more self-checkout machines each time a store is remodeled. even costco is beginning to add the self-serve lines. one of the big sticking points is the weight sensors. customers don't like them. so now stores are experimenting with video cameras, keeping track of the items bought at self-checkouts. the u.s. bureau of labor statistics, i checked today. it says the median pay for cashier is just more than $22,000 a year, and expects there to be 4% fewer of them around in a decade because of

all this new technology and of course online shopping. krispy kreme is making it easier to get your donut fix. the chain announced it will be making deliveries from all of its stores, beginning this saturday. the order must be placed online, and in most cases, you'll need to be within ten miles of the krispy kreme. another catch, you must order a minimum amount, and there will be a delivery fee of about five bucks. that would have been way worth it to me. >> three or four dozen maybe. >> we should just chip in the newsroom. no problem. >> thanks, michael. all right. just ahead on abc7 news at 5:00, what the san jose sharks are saying about this guy. >> a zamboni driver who got to suit

grand now we have to deal withed us this.rs. climate change is an emergency. that's why i wrote the nation's most progressive climate law.

and that's why i'm endorsing tom steyer. because when big oil tried to stop our clean air laws, he led us to victory. same with the keystone pipeline. when tom says we can save the world and do it together believe him. i'm tom steyer and i approve this message. i'm ama daetz. coming up on abc7 news at 6:00 -- >> i was hit at least ten times.

i thought my skull was going to cave in. >> a bystander gets badly beaten for a comment he made at a san francisco sideshow. he is now fighting back with one target in his sights. oakland's ousted police chief isn't happy either. she fires become at the police commission that suddenly fired her. that happened last week. that's all coming up on abc7 news at 6:00. dan, kristen? >> thanks, ama. we'll see you then. well, finally tonight, the buzz over an unbelievable accomplishment. >> oh my goodness. a zamboni driver, one of the guys who cleans the ice during hockey games, got the chance to suit up for professional hockey >> and the end result reads like a hollywood movie. here is abc7 news community journalist dustin dorsey. >> this was the celebration in the locker room for the carolina hurricane, following their miraculous victory over toronto with 42-year-old emergency goalie and zamboni driver david ayres leading the way. two injuries thrust ayres into the spotlight and he held his own in the canes' 6-3 win.

back here at the sap center, 45-year veteran bruce haraldsen is hard at work getting the sharks' ice ready for their next game. while he isn't their nhl goalie, he has respect for what ayres did on the ice. >> he did pretty good, except for the first two shots. actually, what i've read about him and heard about him, he does practice with the marlies, the minor league team all the time. so it's not like he is not getting any action. so good for him. >> is that the craziest -- one of the craziest hockey stories you've seen? >> it's probably right up there. especially when the home team guy and the road team ends up winning. >> haraldsen has hockey experience and many of his crew skate every day. could the next miracle story come from san jose? you see any of your guys stepping in and helping the sharks in the future? >> no. >> maybe not any time soon. in san jose, dustin dorsey, abc7 news. >> wow! >> revenge of the zamboni

drivers. >> oh my goodness, dream come true. i'll keep dreaming that i close out a professional baseball game one of these days. >> world news

donald trump beat the democratic vo:establishment.o, and then he outlasted democratic insiders in washington on impeachment, despite his obvious crimes and corruption. romney: the president is guilty. vo: now, if we don't do something different this time around, he'll win again. that's the hard truth. we simply can't afford to nominate another insider or an untested newcomer who doesn't have the experience to beat trump on the economy. we need to think different. tom steyer is a progressive businessman who left his company and is using his time and money to beat big corporations and address climate change. he can expose donald trump as a fraud and failure on the economy. tom steyer: he's running on the economy. he running on the idea that democrats can't grow an economy, are a bunch of socialists,

you can't afford to vote for him. my job is is take on mr. trump and kick his ass on the economy. i'm tom steyer and i approve this message. tonight, harvey weinstein found guilty of rape and criminal sexual assault. the judge ordering weinstein taken to new york's rikers island, guilty on two counts, not guilty on three others. what does weinstein now face? the lead prosecutor calling this a new day for sex assault survivors. and tonight, harvey weinstein vows to appeal. the stock market plunging amid growing fears over the coronavirus. wiping out all of the gains this year. and news from the cdc tonight, at least 50 people in isolation here in the u.s. testing positive. and communities from california to alabama now saying, "do not bring patients here." while in europe tonight, they are confronting their first major outbreak. at least 219 cases in italy.
