right now with the sunny conditions that we do have. but it's on the opposite side of that hillside that is where that crash happened. as i speak about this, i do want to go to some of the video that was shot earlier from the air. this happened just after 1:00 this afternoon. we are learning just in the last hour or so that this was helicopter that hit a power line. it appears unincorporated fairfield in solano county. again, there were three people on board there was a fire a short time after that crash happened there was a fire truck that was responding to this area that had some issues in getting to that area. but it appears from this angle as though that fire is now out. and in the process of all of this, 38,000 customers in solano county were without electricity. some of those areas still without electricity tonight.

i know there are some major backups just getting to this area took a good while to get here from san francisco. now i do want to take a live look right now of this command center. you can see all of the officials on scene. i just talked with a deputy minutes ago who told me he is working to get us more information, and specifically working to get us information on the condition of those three people who were on board. i can tell you i saw a car come in here a little while ago, and the people in the back seat were very concerned about the situation, at least had that look of concern on their face. now as we get new details in this case, we will bring it to you here on abc7. reporting live in solano county, jr stone, abc7 news. >> okay, jr, thank you. we will continue to check with you this evening. and now to a large protest that has been going on for well over an hour in downtown redwood city, as you look from sky 7 live. this is a live look which is over the crowd that's gathered

near city hall. you do see some windows that have been boarded up. but like many of the protests we have seen today around the bay area, this one has been peaceful as well. >> and this is another one of the peaceful protests we saw. this is a march in fremont. the group started at the mall in newark and went down mowrey avenue to fremont headquarters where they held a rally. >> protesters held up their fists in solidarity at marin city this afternoon. the peaceful protests included speakers like tupac shakur's sister, set shakur. and in san francisco hundreds of people marched along the great highway. it began at sloat taking protesters up to lincoln. the city of vallejo is preparing for an 8:00 p.m. curfew again tonight after an evening of looting. an officer-involved shooting, and someone setting fire inside city hall. abc7 news i-team reporter melanie woodrow broke that part of the story earlier today.

vallejo police chief shawnee williams describing a night of violence and looting. >> in 27 years of service, i've never experienced anything like last night in the city of vallejo. this was a coordinated attack by organized individuals seeking to cause destruction and harm to our community. >> vallejo mayor says someone broke into city hall through a window early this morning and attempted to set a fire. the sprinklers significantly damaged the first floor human resources department. the mayor also says many local businesses were looted. >> i understand, and i believe in the public's right of protest, of expressing your first amendment rights about the heinous murder of george floyd. but when it comes to the destruction of private and public property, i don't understand how that brings about the change that people are asking for. >> one of the calls police got overnight was for a looting at a walgreen's on the one thousand

block of redwood industry. the vallejo police department says it is investigating an officer-involved shooting in connect with that looting, but would not give any additional information today, including the condition of the individual shot by police. >> i know this person was transported to the hospital, but i don't know the person's condition. whatever happened will be reported that it will be open and transparent. >> pastor dawn rogaiski isrogais calling for that investigation now. >> i understand investigations happen. >> she served on a community panel last year that interviewed police chief candidates and interviewed shawnee williams. >> we need to trust our police, and if we feel that we're not getting very much information, then the trust is not going to be built. >> we as the city of vallejo which is one of the most diverse communities here in the nation hear the voices of those that are in distress. what is sad is a lot of those

voices are being drowned out by those who are perpetrating these acts of violence. >> the solano county district attorney's office and the vallejo police department's detective division are conducting a joint criminal investigation of the officer-involved shooting. the case is being monitored by the vallejo police department's professional standards unit. in the newsroom for the i-team, melanie woodrow, abc7 news. >> okay, melanie, thank you very much. life in the east bay suburbs has changed dramatically in the last few days with more communities adding unprecedented curfews. abc7 news reporter leslie brinkley looks at the impact the looting and the subsequent curfews are having on businesses. >> boarded up windows. tear gas. curfews. it's all unfamiliar territory for east bay cities like walnut crick, lafayette, orinda and danville after sunday's shock round of looting. there were some violent

encounters. man told me how he is rush down here during the looting to barricade the entrance to this parking garage to keep people from rushing inside and maybe throwing things off the upper-level. he said two men rushed him. one punched him in the back. the other took his cell phone, smashed it, and then stole it. >> it's not supposed to happen anywhere. it's a bunch of crap that these thieves and thugs come out when there is legitimate protests going on. covid virus was bad enough. now we add this? >> ironically, today the contra costa county health department announced small retail stores can reopen tomorrow. but many businesses spent upward of a thousand dollars, money they don't have to spare, to board up windows. >> it's pretty much like what punch next. >> this restaurant owner says he has been forced to send employees home early as he stands guard over his business there was the fear of covid and now the fear of looting. >> i feel like there is

decreased traffic to walnut creek. i feel like people are nervous. they could get trapped on the freeway or trapped in town with streets blocked off. and that impacts the busines tremendously. >> businesses hope this isn't the last straw. >> hope it's a brief setback. i think that many of them for sure are just, you know, barely hanging on. >> walnut creek changed their rougher to 8:00 p.m., the same imposed in lafayette and orinda that allows dinnertime takeout service. also, the contra costa county board of supervisors voted to impose a curfew countywide effective immediately. i'm leslie brinkley. >> abc7 news. this map shows the cities and the counties affected along with the times. contra costa county's curfew goes from 8:00 in the evening to 5:00 in the morning, just like san francisco and alameda counties. the new curfew in san mateo county runs from 8:30 until 5:00 a.m. same as palo alto and san jose. the sonoma county town of

windsor also has a new curfew. that takes effect at 9:00 tonight until 5:00 a.m. a couple more that you don't see on that map. vallejo's curfew runs from 8:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. so does the city of american canyon in napa county, as well as some unincorporated parts of napa county. are the latest restrictions infringing on our first amendment rights? abc7 news reporter stephanie sierra spoke with protesters who were recently arrested. stephanie? >> well, ama, protesters arrested shortly after the curfew was enforced in san jose are not just upset about the lack of warning, but what they consider a violation of their first amendment rights. >> black lives under attack, what do we do? >> mandated curfew across most of the bay area. an unprecedented response to handle violent protests. when have we ever seen this before? protesters like alex lee, pictured here, are now asking that question after his arrest in san jose sunday night.

>> the police have rolled up on to the curve in their police suv without warning and didn't say hey, get the hell out of here. curfew is in effect. they step upped to me and said hey, can i talk to you and then grabbed me and said you're under arrest. >> lee said he didn't know about the mandatory curfew that went into effect sunday at 8:00 p.m. but he describes his arrest as abrupt and aggressive. >> we're trying to explain what we were doing. we weren't doing anything wrong, but they wouldn't visit. they said you're out here. there are no exceptions. you're being arrested. >> the aclu of northern california has called for an end to these curfews across the state, criticizeding this is the wrong way to hand le disruption to what otherwise would have been peaceful protests. >> as an cues to arrest protesters and repress freedom of expression. >> according to lee, the protest he attended sunday night was peaceful. >> i was in the back of the police wagon with my hands zip tied behind my back. another man was thrown in there, and he was just watching what

was happening from his doorstep in his apartment on fourth street. he walked out the see i was being arrested and they arrested him. >> these arrests come as the san francisco board of supervisors announced a resolution that will prohibit hiring any police officers with a history of misconduct. san francisco district attorney chesa boudin says there is a need for statewide policy. >> when we give police officers a gun and badge and the power to arrest and the power to use force, it is essential that we vet those individuals and that we hold them to the highest standards, and this legislation ask a step towards doing just that. >> we asked the san francisco's d.a.'s office if any protesters violating the curfew, if they'll be charged, and we were told it is possible, and they'll be reviewing each case carefully. >> stephanie, any numbers? do we know how many people have been arrested for violating these curfew orders across the bay area? >> yes, ama, we're looking into those numbers as we speak. here is what we know so far. 122 people have been arrested

for 382 felony crimes. this is ranging from looting and violence to burglaries and stolen cars. this is all in alameda county. of the 122 people, more than 80 were not from cities in alameda county. now 60 people were arrested in oakland last night. police say they were a tiny portion of the group remaining after a peaceful demonstration that drew 15,000 people to oakland tech. no arrests have been made in orinda and santa clara, but i do want to point out just minutes ago san francisco police told us there have been 46 arrests for looting, 15 of which were residents, plus 13 citations. and as far as curfew violations, there have been 87 arrests, half of which were residents. we'll keep a close you on this as we learn more. stephanie sierra, abc7 news. >> all right, stephanie, thank you for that. san francisco district attorney chesa boudin has

announced a resolution to prohibit the hiring of police officers would have previous findings of misconduct. boudin says it would hold the city's police department to a higher standard. the resolution was announced in response to the death of george floyd of minneapolis by a police officer. the officer derek chauvin had 17 complaints during his nearly two decade was the department. hundreds of people in san jose helped to clean up graffiti and vandalism done to local businesses in recent days. the volunteers we spoke to echo mayor sam liccardo's message from monday. they stand with those advocating for equality, and they will not let that important message be lost at the hands of the few who damaged local businesses. >> we have been in tears over everybody that's been hurt on all sides. so just being able to give back and to help people makes us feel good. >> i just wanted to help. plus, i've been there for seven years. so it's a big opportunity just to help the community. >> zilia is a student at horace

mann elementary school which was graffitied. the cleanup was organized by beautify sj. coming up here, the two college students who organized this huge demonstration. even they were surprised at the turn 80. you'll meet them, next. also, the protest at a sleepy sonoma county town. small business owners there wonder why here? i'm spencer christian. our most recent heat spike is upon us, and the spike will rise even higher tomorrow. i'll have the accuweather forecast coming up.

with all the violent protesting we've seen, the worry is there. wayne freedman has the difference between fears and realities in a small town. >> in windsor tonight, something doesn't fit. we'll make you wait for it after showing the quiet street, the idyllic spring sun, and the stars and stripes in a bedroom community of 27,000 people where

only 5% are african american. so what's with this? >> this is -- yeah, it's a pretty surreal. >> he put the boards up last night for fear of protesting or vandalism overflowing from santa rosa after rumors of violence or looting coming here. >> floyd is one part of this big picture. >> the other part, the protest picture has grown so large that it has reached out to a town like this with the boards on the sides of buildings. why windsor, locals ask. why not, others say. well, the mayor has established a 9:00 p.m. curfew tonight. >> i think the bad actors are not from here. >> does windsor really need a curfew? >> i'd say tonight we do. >> in windsor, like everywhere else, covid-19 has been hard on small businesses. lupe has owned this business for 16 years. when she heard protesters are coming, are you worried? >> yes. very much so. because i seen what they done on tv. >> so here's what did half.

>> where do you see violence here, sir? where do you see violence? >> a group of maybe 50 people, kids, families, and young adults mostly waving signs, cheering for horn honks. it was freedom of speech in action just like our founders wrote it up in the constitution. >> i think it's important to protest anywhere, whether it's a big city or a small city. it doesn't matter. it's just making sure that we have justice. >> the perfect protest in a still perfect small town. for now. in windsor, wayne freedman, abc7 news. the city of oakland delivered an update on the huge march and protest last night in oakland. that's the one that started at oakland tech. >> that march reached a number of 15,000 participants and community members. both included not only students, but also family members and people from all throughout the bay area in our community. they came out. they showed out in great numbers. and even my own daughter participated in that march. >> oakland police say about a

thousand people broke off from the main group, and that's when there were a few incidents. we saw tear gas deployed. that happened after people threw rocks and bottles at officers. and we are hearing today from the students who organized that march. abc7 news reporter luz pena has the story. >> no racist police! >> 15,000 people united with one goal. >> to have a solidarity march. really starting out as like i feel you, we feel you, minneapolis. oakland feels you. >> to see the ones behind this, you have to zoom in. >> my name is achille riley. i'm 19 years old. >> my name is xavier brown. i'm 19 years old. >> two 19-year-old childhood friends coming together to create a movement. and it all started with a text. >> he said i'm trying to organize a solidarity march for tuesday. i'm going to post it and pass out all flyers over oakland, and i'm wondering if you want to be

part of it because you're a leader. and he was like i have other posts ready. and i was let's do it. >> the organizing was key. it took four days with social media playing a vital role. and the rules were clear. >> we set out the guidelines that we didn't want to loot and destroy things. that wasn't what we were trying to do then. and i think that obviously attracted a bigger crowd, because you had younger people and also older people. >> the voices of these ucla freshmen were heard throughout oakland. >> all lives cannot matter until black lives matter. >> even making it to city hall. >> we are very proud of that beautiful demonstration. >> what does that tell you about the power that lies within you? >> i think it gave people hope that the youth has the power to organize. >> young people are underrated because we're some of the smartest people in the world. >> a power that not only influenced and inspired

thousands, but also the principal at oakland tech high, seeing one of her own on the front lines of this protest. >> it does give me hope, because, you know, sometimes i feel kind of hopeless, you know. i don't know what to do besides educate. and that's the way in which i hope to improve the world. and i'm happy that my young people are doing it and doing it their way. >> one word to describe this movement. >> i'll say three words. revolution of youth. yeah. actually four. revolution of black youths. >> in oakland, luz pena, abc7 news. tonight abc news presents a live prime time special, "america in pain: what comes next." the one-hour program looks at the protests and outrage across the country in response to the killing of george floyd, police brutality and systemic racism against black americans. that's tonight at 9:00 right here on abc7.

[ closing bell ] stocks rose again today despite the pandemic and civil unrest around the country. the dow was up 267 points. the nasdaq up 56, and the s&p 500 closed up 25. all right. let's turn our attention to the heat, which persists and may even, ama, intensify. >> i know. for how long, spencer? >> well, at least one more day for sure, and perhaps another two days in our inland areas. it's going to be another scorcher tomorrow. here is what is happening right now. you can see we've got quite a

warm-up from this time yesterday, the 24-hour temperature change shows temperature readings right now anywhere from 10 to 18 degrees higher around the bay area than they were last night at this time. here is a look at current readings as we also look at the skyline of san francisco from the exploratorium camera. 74 in the city. 91 right now in redwood city. 89 at gilroy and 70 at pacifica. on we go looking northward, and then eastward. 89. in fact, upper 80s also at santa rosa, petaluma and napa. 95 at fairfield. 93 concord. 90 at livermore. and as we look out over san francisco from sutro tower, these are our forecast features. heat will peak tomorrow, and record high temperatures for tomorrow's day are possible. it will be cooler at the coast. on thursday a little cooler around the bay, but still hot inland. finally, much cooler conditions and windier will prevail over the entire region, friday and saturday. heat advisory will be in effect tomorrow for virtually all of the bay area from 10:00 a.m. to

9:00 p.m. and heat advisory is already in effect for solano county. that will remain in effect until 8:00 p.m. thursday. remember that heat illness is possible under these excessively hot conditions. forecast animation shows that a little bit of a marine layer or little patches of the marine layer will form overnight. but tomorrow is going to be a sunny day. the marine layer or whatever forms there will burn off quickly, giving way to sunny skies from coast to inland. overnight under mainly clear skies, looking for low temperatures mainly in the low to mid-60s. it's not only going to be mild, it's going to be warm, and probably uncomfortably so overnight. tomorrow's highs will range from low and mid 70s to upper 80s and low 90s around the bay shoreline to lots of 100-degree plus readings inland. one at morgan hill. 101 livermore. 103 concord, and fairfield 102. notice on thursday, temperatures start to drop off rather significantly along the coast. and even around the bay shoreline. we may still see a couple of 90s

to 100 inland on thursday. then on friday it will be cooler in all areas. we've got a strong vigorous sea breeze there with an extensive cooling effect, and temperatures continue to tumble going into the weekend. here is a look at the accuweather seven-day forecast. another scorcher, especially inland tomorrow. you might want to limit your exposure to the heat and the sun if you can. still hot inland on thursday. but then the cooling kicks in everywhere on friday. weekend is going to be the coolest time in the seven-day forecast period, with clouds increasing and a slight, slight chance of showers on saturday. i wouldn't worry about it. it does look like it's got to be a significant system, certainly not a washout. but you could get a sprinkle here and there. be prepared. >> tomorrow is something else, spencer. thank you. for the president and his critics. why history teaches us about the politics of our time. also, needing a meal doesn't

outside the state capitol. demonstrators streamed through the streets of los angeles this afternoon, and there was another big crowd in new york city. the big apple has been hit hard by looting, and the state's governor, while pleading for peace says he understands the anger. >> they're outraged. and by the way, i agree with them. what happened to mr. floyd was a disgrace, it was repugnant to america. it was repugnant to any good policing perspective or strategy or approach. >> and as alex presha just mentioned, the public memorial for george floyd is planned for thursday. his funeral is set for next week in texas. >> and as the protests that are sweeping the country continue, the political stakes may be rising for both the president an his critics and experts here in the bay area are watching the developments very closely. >> as protests engulf washington and the rest telephone country,

president trump is staking out his own ground, declaring himself the law and order president. >> i'm taking immediate presidential action to stop the violence and restore secure and safety in america. >> to many historians, the words have a familiar echo. jason mcdaniels says it's not that simple. >> hold the incumbents accountable for this lawlessness, quote/unquote and vote for me. trump is going to have a hard time doing that since he is the coming up. >> he says that was the situation that george h.w. bush faced during the los angeles riots that followed the videotaped beating of rodney king, and the unrest actually presented an opportunity for his opponent. >> bill clinton came to los angeles. there was the national guard was staging. bill clinton came and made that a part of the campaign and or

the of showed a different kind of message. >> and other observers argue that the staunch law and order message drew much of its early power from a kind of racial code. >> ultimately, it becomes a way of telling white america that we have these people in control. >> but professor james taylor of the university of san francisco points to the police-involved shooting death of orange county grant at a bart station a decade ago as a turning point. he says the power of cell phone video and other media is reaching a broad audience, and the result can be seen in the protests. >> out in the streets and they begin to tap into each other's humanity. >> while the political impact of looting and the president's response to them remain to be seen, some believe the unrest is clearly a wild card in an election that's just months away. >> now both president trump and his opponent joe biden have reached out to the family of

george floyd. some cars have been damaged in these demonstrations, as you know. if one of them is yours, you may be wondering if your insurance will pay for it. 7 on your side's michael finney is live with answers. michael? >> dan, you and i have seen that video. there is someone just driving down the street. they find themselves in the middle of a protest. their car is perhaps damaged, windows broken, that sort of thing. so who pays? >> you've seen the video from across the country and right here in the bay area. this demonstration in san jose, some drivers were caught unaware, and some of their cars were damaged. so if your car was one of them, are you covered? >> if you have comprehensive coverage in your auto policy, then you can put a claim under your auto policy. >> amy bach of united policy holders your auto policy will likely pay for severe damage if you have comprehensive damage. >> let's they your car was parked on the street near one of

the protests and it got set on fire, that would cover the repair. >> but what about this fellow whose window was smashed on highway 101 in san jose last friday. >> most policies you'll have glass breakage coverage in your policy. >> however, she says it's usually not worth making a claim for glass breakage alone. that's because your deductible is probably higher than the cost of replacing the window. >> we don't advise that because it's going to go on the record as a claim. you won't actually see any money out of it. you're not going get paid anyway. so why notify the insurance cmpany if it's just the windshield, just a window. no scratch, no dents, think about paying for that out of pocket. to avoid having to put a claim in and become a higher risk. >> now if you don't have comprehensive coverage, and many with older cars do not, you're underensured and uninsured coverage may cover you.

but again, as amy just said, be careful. you may not want to report a minor, minor dollar event. dan, ama? >> that can have an effect on your premiums obviously, michael. thank you. santa clara county is loosening some restrictions this friday. outdoor dine willing be allowed as well as in-store shopping and outdoor ceremonies and religious gatherings of 25 people or less. this afternoon, public health officer dr. sarah cody talked about that decision. >> the opening that our amendments are enabling this friday are pretty significant, and i think that we're going to need to give ourselves at least three weeks to assess what the impact of this move and additional activity will be on how the virus is spreading in our county. >> dr. cody says the coin has made good progress on having adequate testing and contact tracing. outbreaks in skilled nursing facilities have been contained and hospitals remain well within capacity. today was the last di of

virtual classes for san francisco public schools. tonight at 8:00, there will be a citywide cheer to celebrate all graduates and city hall will be lit up in gold. in the meantime, their children will continue to be fed throughout the summer thanks to the grab and go program. lyanne melendez says other drinks will be providing more schools this summer. >> school sites like this one in the mission district serve as food distribution centers for many families. today this pop-up was hosted by the san francisco food bank. but on mondays and wednesdays, it's one of 18 locations where parents with kids in schools come to pick up food for their children, breakfast, lunch and dinner. >> since march 16th, we've served 1.3 million meals. >> these are the 18 food sights in san francisco, including treasure island, where parents pick up meals for the entire wek. during this pandemic, school districts in the bay area have vowed to continue feeding students during the summer. in fact, oakland unified will double the number of sites from 12 to 24 and provide seven days

worth of food as opposed to five on mondays and thursdays. local restaurants and nonprofits have also stepped up to help. >> it's just been a remarkable unity between organizations that want to help the people of oakland. we know our kids are struggling. we know their families are struggling. >> but here is where school districts immediate the public's help more than ever. the u.s. department of agriculture has never allowed school districts to serve supper during the summer. a school district like san francisco will need to raise about $1 million to feed kids that third meal of the day. >> but we all know hunger continues during the summer, and especially now with the pandemic and the additional economic crisis that it has caused. now more than ever, we need to be having all three meals served to our families. >> some parents outside cesar chavez elementary told us without this help, they would not be able to feed their children. [ speaking spanish ] >> we've lost our jobs, and this helps, said this mother of three. >> they support a lot because we need food because we're not

work. >> in san francisco, lyanne melendez, abc7 news. >> a lot more to come here. heading to camp this summer will look very different for some kids. >> we'll show you wh

the changing workplace is one area where we're spending a lot of attention as we focus on ways to build a better bay area during and after the epidemic. many bay areas have had to think how to provide vital services. david louie looks how one is delivering a virtual summer camp program in san francisco. >> it has been a lonely time for

kids isolating at home. real options for city kids serving young people in visitacion valley neighborhood had suspended summer camp program that normally attracts 130 elementary and middle school students. >> typically, our summer camp programs are 9:00 to 5:00 every day. so i think we would be kidding ourselves if we tried to replicate that. >> so its staff, kept together by economic recovery funds, has scrambled to devise a virtual summer program from scratch over a series of zoom calls. i was challenging to find out what does and doesn't work virtually. >> we would practice the lesson plan in front of each other and see how it came off virtually. and we would give positive or, you know, constructive feedback. >> summer is a time when camp provides social skills developments through sport, creative arts projects, and reading. it also teaches kids how to share, compromise and communicate. that's why rural options for city kids had to do some
