organized retail crime. the mayor said cutting hours and closing stores is not the solution. there has to be an accountability component to it. >> reporter: target has acknowledged san francisco is the only city in america where they have decided to close some stores early because of the escalating retail crime. for more than a month, we have been experiencing an alarming rise in theft and security incidents in san francisco stores, similar to reports from other retailers in the area. >> reporter: target isn't the only retail store to make changes because of the continuous shoplifting. after 10:00 p.m., this 711 only does business through the metal door, window. but first, i have to press the button to let them know i am outside. >> this window was installed two or three months ago because it was not safe. they broke the glass of the door. >> reporter: walgreens walgreen

several stores for the same reason. security guards like kevin are told not to physically engage with those shoplifting. >> it will be lawsuits. obviously, they don't want ourselves or anyone else to get injured while we are out here attempting to make these apprehensions and leave that to law enforcement. >> is that frustrating for you? >> very. >> reporter: he carries a handgun, taser, pepper spray, but he has never had to use them. on the other hand, people shoplifting have threatened him with a knife. >> i don't have any getting stabbed for $60 worth of stuff. >> reporter: most of them never get caught. the man leaving with a bag full of goods on a bike has been arrested. >> will this person be held accountable for what they did? that needs to be part of the equation as well. >> reporter: that is where one supervisor stepped in. he has asked both the police department and the district attorney's office to come up with a coordinated plan to reduce the organized retail

crime and find out why san francisco is apparently targeted more than anywhere else. >> these are people who are recruited, organized, and reselling these goods. san francisco is hurting for it. >> reporter: he has given the das office a week to come up with an answer. >> reporter: proposition 47 says shoplifting $950 or less is a misdemeanor. but the supervisor is talking to law enforcement and the das office about possibly aggregating charges. so if a person hits several stores in a day, 950, 950, 950, they could be slapped with a felony. again, as we know, they have to be caught first. >> that is job numbernumbernumbr obviously, they are extremely invested in this issue, understandably so. what action are they taking?

we have lingering low clouds. they will linger at the coastline, easing us a meanie -- mainly sunny day. temperatures this morning, low 60s at the coast, low 70s around the shoreline, and most inner locations will warm up to mid to upper 80s. as we look at the 12 hour plan for the fourth of july, once again, fog and clouds going into the late afternoon warms up to the 80s, that is mild to warm. it should cool down in the nighttime hours as we approach for fireworks as fog and clouds will expand. so, viewing conditions are probably not going to be great, but the comfort level will be good. notice a pretty steady pattern through next week. we expect a warm up to develop at the end of next week.

building a better bay area, moving forward, finding solutions, this is abc7 >> an alarming example of the growing firepower on the streets of the bay area, this video shows a violent shootout

in the city last year. >> police say there has been an epidemic of gun violence. many agencies report the confiscation of high-powered weapons, and it isn't just in big cities, but smaller ones as well. >> phil has been talking with local law enforcement agencies to see what they are finding and what they need to stop this. >> reporter: it is frightening. the chief of police knows what it's like to work in a big city. he worked in san francisco. he also worked in suburban towns like hayward where guns and big guns are becoming a real, real problem. the solution? there are deadly consequences. e in the old days, 15 to 20 years ago, the guns were small. today, they are powerful as soldiers carrying guns into war, although this war is on our streets. >> reporter: when did you start? >> 1990, san francisco. n franc

>> reporter: they were seeing a surge in violence. what were you seeing? >> there were a lot of shotguns and handguns like this, a revolver. this was the first weapon i was issued in the police academy. >> reporter: this is what you are taking off the streets? >> that's correct. >> it's quite a leap. >> absolutely. you would be reloading with this thing several times before whoever is holding this weapon had to reload once. >> reporter: what are these weapons being used for? >> it is used to hunt and kill other people. >> reporter: he has seen it all, but nothing like the firepower he is seeing now on the streets of the bay area. all these guns and bullet magazines were taken from people who should not have had them in this community. >> reporter: tell me what you're planning on the streets these days. >> as what is evidenced, the assault rifles. they fire these massive rounds. take a look at this. this is a 100 round drum.

this feeds in, and you have rounds circling through and firing. you can sit there and fire for a good minute or two before you have to reload this thing. >> reporter: how many of these are legal? >> technically, all of them are. >> reporter: really? all of these you could buy in a store? >> yes. >> reporter: and the magazines? are they legal, too? >> they are not. >> reporter: when we ta about gun control,all of this is legal? >> yes. >> reporter: attempts to renew the rifle band have repeatedly failed to make their way through congress. as a result, today, they can be found on the streets all around the bay area. >> reporter: okay, if they had an assault weapons ban, would these be banned? >> yes. >> reporter: this looks more like a military operation.

>> reporter: this is why police want to get these guns off the streets. >> over 100 -- >> over 100? >> reporter: police are still looking for the gunman in this music studio. they agree there needs to be more done to keep guns out of the hands of people like this. those who do have the guns and use them against other people need to be locked up. >> for crimes like you just witnessed here, you have to remove these folks from the community. over 100 rounds fired, you saw how many people left this place, some folks were carried out. there was no thought of women or children being in this establishment. the only thought was, i'm going to kill my target. >> reporter: these are not the only weapons police are look for, ghost guns, homemade firearms, some from kits that

are untraceable have become the new gun of choice. >> reporter: in other words, if your child or convicted felon, -- you can order these and make these in your homeyour >> reporter: they have no serial numbers? >> they are and serialized weapons because there is no serial number on this weapon. >> reporter: and that just goes out on the street? >> correct. >> reporter: how much would this go for out of the garage? >> reporter: anywhere from 300 $800. we seized a lot of guns last year and this year. is year. ghost guns, again, start off at 2019, it was 3% of the seizures. funny 20 was 13%. this year, it is 16% today. this, to me was part of the biggest issue we are facing right now. >> reporter: the chief says his officers work hard to keep the guns out of the hands of criminals and parolees or people who are not supposed to have them. >> reporter: what usually

happens? >> we will arrest a person for the gun. unfortunately, sometimes they beat us home for dinner. >> reporter: they are out of jail by the time you get home? why? if we are talking about getting people who use these off the streets, guns confiscated, but the person can go get another one is let off until they get a court date, right? >> that's correct. >> reporter: how does that take it off the streets? >> the weapon in front is in the gun locker. this weapon is off the streets for all intents and purposes. again, to your point, it does not prohibit or stop a person from acquiring a weapon. >> reporter: the chief also said taking the guns away does not take away the intentions of the person. many times, the intended target is not the person shot, but rather, innocent bystanders caught in the middle. >> across our county and other

counties, some poor, unsuspecting man just north of here was walking out to get his mail. he got killed by a stray bullet in front of his family. >> reporter: we have got this. this is the problem. it's gone from six shooters to machine guns. >> correct. >> reporter: how do we get them off the streets? we hear everyone talking about getting these off the streets. how do we do it? >> that is the usual question. first and foremost, you have to allow us to do the second piece is, we have to have legislators tie this thing up and start making these serious crimes because they are leading to catastrophic issues in our communities. we are losing a lot of young folks to gun violence because these things are all over our streets right now. >> so far, we haven't seen many laws aimed at at at at at at at

table. so far, if you buy a gun, more background checks, we are not able to buy one or more. you can cross the state line. there are other people who buy them. the question becomes, how do we get them off the streets? that is the question. it's not whether or not we control the legal buying of guns because those are the people out there doing the shooting. >> it is eye-opening. to see them all lined up visually like that was really an eye-opener. phil, before you leave us, we hear about the deadly shootings. what about the other shootings where other kinds of pain inflicted? >> reporter: the news. okay? a stray bullet enters your stomach and you can be in a wheelchair for the rest of your life. i will give you a scary statistic. today, highland hospital in oakland, 254 people have been treated for gunshot wounds. that is an average of 50 a month

, 50 a month. many of them are women. we are seeing young women come in. if that's not scary, there were 284 incidences in oakland alone of shots being fired into occupied homes or occupied cars. >> the fatalities often make the news, but these shootings, lives changed in various ways, they don't make the headlines. what do authorities say is the way to get the guns off the street? >> reporter: they say we need to enforce the laws we have now, but we are unwilling to put people behind bars for a number of social, political, and justice reasons. we don't want to unless it's a violent crime. dan, until you use one of these on someone else, possession is not a violent crime. >> is accommodated problem. thanks. just ahead, one olympians dream of becoming the fastest woman on the planet gets snuffed out by a drug test. what she tested

welcome to the place where the aroma of authenticity turns into the scent of home. where cacique inspires you to add your own flair. and the warmth of friends and family is in every bite. cacique. your auténtico awaits. all right, time for the four at 4:00. we are seeing coronavirus cases surge in some areas. los angeles county is one of them that had a terrible problem in the middle of the pandemic. on thursday, it reported the highest daily case count since april. nevada is seeing test positivity rates go up.

it currently has the highest per capita the st. louis area and arkansas. it is a much different story in the bay area starting on tuesday. if you are vaccinated, you won't need a mask at san francisco city hall or other cities. so here in california, specifically, and other parts of the country it is a positive story. there are still areas that are facing more problems. the concern has been, as we as into a fourth of july holiday weekend and people are letting down their guard in many ways, we could see a surgeon again. >> yeah, for the most part we have done a pretty good job, but people are now traveling more. we have shown the airport and people getting on the road and mingling, don't need the mask, breakthrough cases, it's a little concerning. i guess we have to see how it plays out. you know, i think we should still exercise some caution. >> i was at the giants game a

couple days ago. you know, outdoors, it was strange, the first time i had been in any crowd. didn't wear a mask outside in the seats, but as i moved my way through the concourse, i put my mask on again, not just for me but to make other people comfortable. >> i'm finding i wear the mask most everywhere i go. i go to some places where most people are not wearing a mask, outdoor venues, then i remember i don't have to wear this, but i think i will just err on the side of caution and keep it on. i am surprised some of the places where surges are occurring, places like arkansas and missouri where rates are low, but i'm surprised about places like colorado and california where vaccination rates are higher. >> with the delta variant, we have to be diligent.

moving on, the gold-medal favorite in the 100 meter dash is being barred from the event in the upcoming olympics after testing positive for marijuana. chicanery richardson issued an apology today after receiving a one month suspension from the anti-doping agency. she used it death of her biological mother. the test automatically invalidated her first-place finish at last month's olympic trials, meaning she can't run at all in the event in tokyo. her suspension ends july 28th, making her eligible to run in the four by 100 relay if she is named to the u.s. team. there are lots of different opinions on this one. to be honest with you, you know, the stigma around marijuana has certainly changed in recent years. obviously, it is legal in many parts of the country. to be honest, i was under the impression that marijuana mellowed you out, didn't make you faster. so ama daetz, i can see the frustration with the choice.

>> yeah, the rules are the rules. whether that gets changed in the future and they are looking at those things, i gotta say i wish you could see my face when i read about this today. it was like -- to shock. a little background, we are a huge track family. my sister will kill me for bragging on her, but she was really good back in her day. so we spent the entire father's day weekend watching these olympic trials, watching her, and she is incredible. she really is, all the flash kind of brought something back to the sport. people were getting excited about it. it's devastating this is happening. >> it's a shame. you hate to see her miss out on this opportunity. as you point out, they have to apply the rules to everybody. >> marijuana is not a performance-enhancing drug. it doesn't make you run faster. >> she's going to beat everybody whether she is doing that or not.

>> spencer, to your point, they need to change the rules. the world's elite eaters, including san jose's jory chestnut weighed in for the nathan's hot dog eating contest for the fourth of july. joey pounds. he has won the event 13 times. he is a world record holder chowing down 75 dogs in 10 minutes, chestnut is feeling good and things he can break the record. this year, people can attend and watch the tradition in person on coney island. the reigning women's champion is sitting out because she is pregnant, which is probably a great decision. so it's a fun annual tradition. but spencer, it is hard to watch. joey is a local favorite, but it is hard to watch. >> after the second or third dog, i have to look away. >> it's the dipping and the liquid also, it makes my stomach turn. >> oh, yeah. >> can you mention how you feel

a couple actors -- >> no! it's like they are trying to keep it down. i'm trying to keep my stuff down. >> you know, we are close to dinner time. maybe we should move on. all right, we are talking about beverages, vaccinated or not, vaccinator -- anheuser-busch making a pledge to give out free beer on the fourth of july. it said it would if 70% of adults were vaccinated by independence day. so far, 65% of adults have gotten at least one covid-19 shot. anheuser-busch decided that was close enough. from now until monday night, they can go to my cooler.com/beer to upload a photo of themselves at their favorite beer drinking spot. they will get a five dollar gift card to get free beer. it's a great promotion. it is very timely for the independence day holiday.

i'm glad it works. it gets people motivated. >> i would be more motivated if one of my favorite wineries offered the same will take the beer, too. whatever it takes to incentivize people and reward them. >> we are close enough to where we are getting to our goals slowly but surely. >> if they haven't given out free beer, would we be talking about them right now? >> good point.

all of this started when we discovered the benefits of local, raw honey for our family. and then we said "hey, you know what? this is a business right here." we went out and started to sell it. to help us get going, we got the chase business complete banking ℠ account. it's more than a bank account. it comes with quickaccept, which lets us take card payments anytime, anywhere, and get same-day deposits at no extra cost. it's more than honey. it's about building something for our family that will endure.

the pilots of a 737 cargo plane are at a honolulu hospital after ditching their plane into the pacific ocean. engine failure caused the crew to make an emergency landing about two miles off of the airport on oahu. this is the nightvision video of the rescue effort that around the pilots were hosted out of the water by a coast guard helicopter. authorities say one of them is in the intensive care unit in critical condition. the other is in serious condition with a head injury and multiple lacerations. we will continue to follow as the evening progresses. we have one last check the weather with spencer --
