august. another curveball for parents. governor newsom is now floating the idea of starting the next school year early to make up for lost time. and the plan is getting mixed reaction from parents this morning. good morning, everyone. it is wednesday, april 29th. good morning, friends in the quad box. >> good morning. i think, i know it's getting, yes, hello, friend, in the studio. i think some kids might be happy to see their friends with that story. i don't know. >> definitely a lot of sides to that one. we'll get to that story and also when i was outside this morning, mike, i felt a little drizzle. i'm not used to that. it's been really nice this week. what is this? >> that is the change. you go, going back to the parents, they're like, when will we take a vacation because we desperately need a vacation now. so, that's something to think about, too. kumasi nailed it. thank you for that weather report. little misty and little bit of

drizzle out there along the coast into san francisco and also as you head into the higher elevations and thicker clouds. look at that 33 mi-mile-per-hou wind in fairfield and look outside our studios from pier 15. that's the exploratorium looking back towards, you can't see the top of the building. 52 degrees right now and it's not going to warm very much, especially the closer you are to the coast. 70s inland and up to 14 degrees cooler today with limited sunshine. even cooler weather coming up. we'll talk about that in a second. first, get over to jobina and talk about the bay bridge. good morning, jobina. >> good morning, mike, thank you. right now the chp is investigating a freeway shooting in san francisco and it happened right off of the bay bridge as you make your way into the city. we'll take a live look at the scene right now of the backup in the area because that is the other issue now. if you see through the fog there, there are cars all the way backed up inching towards

the bay bridge toll plaza right now. westbound lanes of interstate 80 near fremont and harrison are closed. officials hope to reopen the freeway in time for the morning commute for our essential workers and you can clearly see there, that is not the case right now. but it is moving. we do know that the shooting happened just before midnight. it looks like two victims were involved here. we do not have an update on their condition at the moment. westbound traffic is being diverted off at fremont street, so, once you make it across the bay bridge into san francisco, you will have to get off there. all other lanes are blocked this morning. >> we haven't seen something like that in a while. all right, jobina, thank you. governor newsom has a four-stage plan for reopening california. no exact timeline on when this is going to happen, but we do know the order of events. we're already in stage one. that means essential businesses are open. schools, child care, some retail shops and offices may be next

and that is part of stage two. stage three covers businesses like gyms, hair salons and movie theaters. newsom suggests it could be months before you'd be able to get a hair cut. the last stage would bring back large events like concerts, sports and conventions. they'll return when there is a vaccine or enough people are immune to the virus. the governor is also saying the school year might start early. he's throwing out late july and perhaps early august as a time to go back to the classroom. abc7 news reporter amy hollyfield is live with the reaction of this. amy? >> hi, reggie. with school closed right now, the governor says children are suffering from learning loss. now he is proposing they go back early for the fall semester. starting late july or early august. that suggestion created all kinds of reaction. some teachers expressed safety concerns wondering if crowded classrooms would be safe during

this pandemic. or if safety precautions could be put into place by then. we also, though, have a parent with another point of view saying kids do need to get back to school. >> they missed the last three months of school and as much as they're trying hard and studying, i don't think they're really learning. we have to get back to life. this cannot go on for years. and i don't think it's going anywhere. >> governor newsom has said at past briefings, schools will have to find ways to encourage social distancing. possibly having staggered start times for the day or canceling large gatherings. starting early is not a done deal. this is just an idea that's being kicked around. it would definitely require the approval of the teacher's union. the union has not responded to this idea, which was just presented yesterday from the governor.

the shooting happened just before midnight and westbound traffic was being diverted off at fremont street. we do know there were two victims involved in this freeway shooting. we do not know their condition at this time. but, again, the damage has been done. so, the investigation wrapped about 15 minutes ago, but people have been waiting there and trying to get through those lanes since midnight. so, it's going to be a while before all of this picks up and gets clear. >> all right, thank you, jobina, for that update. governor newsom is laying out a four-stage plan for reopening california. still no exact timeline, but we are already in stage one. abc7 news reporter julian glover is live with the details on this. good morning, julian. >> hi, kumasi. good morning. no exact timeline but the good news is that governor gavin newsom says we're weeks, not months away from the current stay-at-home order we're all under in california. he rolled out a four-phase plan and we're currently in phase one. let's walk you through the other
