tonight. we are dedicating the majority of this newscast to one issue violence in oakland and its ripple effect throughout the bay area. we focus on it now because for the second year in a row oakland has triple digit homicides the 100th was recorded just yesterday after a week in which the town saw 10 deaths. so me done about it. we're asking because we've made a commitment to building a better bay area which means taking a deeper look at what's going on. yeah. it's about gun control gangs the pandemic. all of the above tonight you'll hear answers to those questions and you're going to hear from the people in charge who can make a difference like a live interview coming up with oakland police. laron armstrong, but first you'll hear from oakland's mayor and the state's attorney general. here's abc 7 news. anchor liz kreutz new at six. this is heartbreaking oakland mayor libby schaaf got emotional today as she talked about oakland pd investigating the city's a hundredth homicide of the year. this not just 100 lives lost.

this is 100 groups of children that don't have a loved one a mentor a mom a dad an aunt and uncle mayor schaff made these remarks after attending a round table with attorney general rob bonta on combating hate crimes shaft told reporters. she's committed to finding solutions for all violence in oakland and said part of that is adding staff to the police department. i've been very clear oakland needs more police officers. we currently have fewer than 700 officers policing this great city of 440,000 souls. we asked shavuay homicides are again on the rise in oakland after there had been several steady years of decline her answer the pandemic once the pandemic happened. many of our tools were taken away from us. and sense of desperation a huge increase in the purchase of firearms and the flooding of our

streets with untraceable ghost guns. she said oakland ceasefire program that provided social support and resources to people most at risk of committing or becoming a victim of a gun-related homicide had been successful in reducing violence, but since the pandemic resources have been stretched thin right now the tools that allowed us to use that last resort are not not available and that must change. we have to stop this bloodshed in oakland liz kreutz abc 7 news. no one may have a better understanding about what's behind the violence in oakland then the people. trying to stop it kevin grant who's part of oakland's department of violence prevention says the uptick isn't just coming from one group. what we're seeing now is a real major pickup in domestic. we're seeing a real major pickup in our homeless population. we're seeing a real major pickup in our sct sexually exploited mine or so all across the board on violence and shootings and homicides and all of these have had their own lane, but never to

the degree that they have since the pandemic. it's really crazy, but it seems like the atmosphere of the air. that that everything is being settled at the most. the highest level of commitment, you know me and you're not just going to argue. you know we go is we gonna toss it up somehow and if you're tossing up this pistols and minus pistols and that's how we're gonna toss it up. now many believe access to guns is at the heart of much of the violence in oakland that has worsened so drastically as you've heard during the pandemic abc news reporter leslie brinkley reached out to those personally touched by this violence 100 homicides a fact hassani bell of victim the 23 year old was struck by 16 bullets as he sat in a barbershop chair on august 28th assailants came into the

barbershop and basically fired on my brother was not statistic he was not somebody that was involved in criminal activity. it's heartbreaking and now my family we have to relocate because again, we don't know who did this and we don't feel safe and the bay area he had an incredible leadership ability. this east bay pastor has seen it all as the leader of imani community church a decade ago. he said gun violence was linked to gangs and drugs not the case now people are turning to guns. under the stress of the pandemic homicides are happening in the housing encampments. homicides are happening in. in the home as a consequence of domestic violence. and homicides are happening in situations that i mean just interpersonal interaction. somebody took somebody's parking spot.

somebody beat somebody to the gas pump and and as a consequence people seem to be using guns to resolve conflict there is frustration and madness as oak landers are asked to step up and speak out. i would ask you to be courageous in these times of fear in the east bay. i'm leslie brinkley abc 7 news. two community leaders in oakland are hoping teamwork can lead to change to help curb the violence problem abc 7 news insider field meteor. spoke with them and joins us now with more on their perspective. phil that's right, you know carl chan who is the president of the oakland chinese town chamber of commerce and bishop bob jackson, who is the head of the axful gospel church come from two distinct parts of oakland, but they share a common problem increased violence and increased crime on their neighborhood streets. we sat down and talked to him. we said that they both said that while police are not the full

answer to the problem getting enough police on police on the streets is still critical part of any solution absolutely. i totally agree with the presence of police are actually helping us to stop much crime happening. especially the last few weeks when they were there. bishop black people say that cops aren't the answer. why do you say police more police helped? well a lot of people that's saying that don't even live in the city. and so the point of it is if you ask the citizens of oakland, what do they think about it? i guarantee you they'll have a different opinion. unfortunately, the citizens are not going to city hall and complaining about the fact that we don't have the protection in our community that we deserve and taxes that we pay to have that type of protection. there's no law being enforced. it seems in the city at all mr. carl. do you feel the same way? i feel the same way. but also i think we're gonna point a finger not a finger, but we've got to look at our city leadership. okay, because stay out there take you know, unless you about

what's good and bad of a city. so what is it you too by bringing these two communities together. hope to achieve bishop. well, i found out the squeaky wheel gets the grease so we haven't been really squeaking like we should and we haven't been doing it collectively. so when carl reached out to me, i told him yeah great idea. let's do it. let's join forces because we all needed the same thing. we want to feel like we're protected in our city carl. what about alternatives to policing? what about alternatives to just cops out on the street that are being proposed well on top of the police, that would be fine, but you're taking resources away and then implement went which may not i mean i've been working so that's dangerous. so i think you know like what, you know special processor insane. we need to work together. remember the silent majority is cannot be silent anymore bishop you've been active in the community for decades. all right. so, how do we keep kids in the youth from getting involved in this this isn't a problem that happened overnight?

what do we do realistically? what can we do? unfortunately a lot of our kids are growing up in the inner city, and they're not prepared with the tools that they need to be successful and that comes from ousd from the educational system. they know they can't read by third grade and they pass them on and so it's it's a lot of factors that's here. so they don't have is in the home a lot of them for the most part mothers are doing a stellar job trying to raise them being father and mother. we can go on that up and down the line and so the the arguments that they're having with one another the fight. they're angry they're upset. and so that anger is being demonstrated or being you know. presented in this city in the name of gun violence. we're understaffed. i mean we have less than 700 police officers trying to police a city with over 430,000 people living in the city. it's just it's just impossible for them to do it. okay, one last question carl if

you had the mayor in the city council here. what would you tell them? but we need to have more police and making sure that resources are being utilized effectively. okay, but also want to tell the politician the no cash bail system is not working unless we can resources helping all these young men and young women and they got into trouble given the help that they need if otherwise you're just going back to evolving those coming back to our own community and hurting people that does not work. bishop what would you tell them? i would tell them that we needed reexamine how we're looking at the police department and instead of listening to outsiders as to how we citizens of oakland need to be police. they need to listen more to the citizens because i guarantee you we hear shots every night being fired and a 100 homicides now, and i don't want to talk about the ones that were wounded field is more than that. that have been wounded by gunfires just a grace of god that they weren't healed that we'll be talking about something like close to 400 homicides at

the city of open. now that bishop bases that number in part on the fact that there were 400 incidents of shots being fired into homes or occupied cars. that's so far this year, you know, oakland has to take certain responsibility for this situation themselves. they embarked on an ambitious experiment to basically redefine policing to say that rather than having certain police units out there like traffic and such and more cops that they were going to pull back and do alternative programs. try to go to the core problems. it's a valid and probably a valid effort but at the same time i am crime began to increase very highly and they are stuck with a situation where they don't have enough cops and they don't have the programs to replace them with. they don't have enough cops, but we are hearing that chp is ramping up its presence in oakland. so can you tell us a little bit more about that? will it actually help? well one of the reasons these chp is coming in is because the

gordon chan and gordon and and carl chan and the bishop requ. to the publicly to for help because oakland was under siege, but the chp is primarily doing traffic duties which were cut back as a result of the funding changes, but it's interesting that while we talk about the fatalities and the homicides in the shootings. there's a whole other level of muggings and just a lawlessness that's going on in the streets of oakland in part. because people are coming into oakland now because that's the place. they think they can get away with it because there aren't police. so everything from speeding. to thefts is becoming more and more of a problem in oakland and oaklanders aren't even necessarily doing it. that is a great point there. all right, phil. thank you so much and do stay with us at 6:30. we'll be talking live with oakland's police chief and will ask him directly what's being done to stop the violence and save lives and coming up next years of sexual harassment

department of justice found san jose state university violated title, nine rules and will have to pay 1.6 million dollars to the former athletes who were harassed a win in the eyes of the attorney for 10 of the former athletes. the feeling is really one of vindication the doj investigation found that sjsu failed to respond to athletes claims of harassment including unwelcome sexual. the department also found that sjsu retaliated against two employees who tried to alert the school. the trainers behavior for over a decade our clients were led to believe that the conduct they suffered was. was okay seeing the department of justice now come forward with the finding words can't really express that feeling the university released a statement that said in part. we think all the individuals who courageously came forward during the investigations to the affected student-athletes and their families. we deeply apologize under the agreement the doj details ways that the school will handle

title nine complaints in the future in hopes that something like this will never happen again that idea of what can be done so that this doesn't ever happen to any other student athlete that is always been the driving force behind. my clients actions a civil lawsuit will still continue between the athletes and the school in san jose dustin dorsey abc 7 news. some important pandemic news tonight johnson & johnson says a booster dose of its vaccine given two months after the first is 94% effective against symptomatic disease and 100% effective against severe disease san francisco international airport is now requiring all on-site workers to be vaccinated. first airport in the country to do so and california's test positivity rate has dropped below 3% it hasn't been that. since july and it may be a lot smaller certainly, but dreamforce is back the annual sales force event opened today

of the key pillars we focus on as part of our work to help build a better bay area now that we have a solid month or so of the school year under our belts. i wanted to check in and see how

folks are settling in. here's one elementary school teachers perspective. missed it, and i didn't realize how much i missed it until i was back doing it in the normal fashion guadalupe elementary school teacher theresa hull started the school year excited and ready to go just like many other educators and students, but now that it's been a few weeks. everyone's getting a little tired just now that the the momentum is going it's exhausting to just, you know, be on all day, but it's it's we need to be doing so it's it's fantastic. you feel like the kids are adjusting pretty well. being back in the class. they are adjusting but it's taking them a little bit longer than i i anticipated the the days are long for them being in school from 8:10 to 2:40 is a long day. i'm seeing excitement as they come in every day, and then i see this. all like decline after lunch, and we really have to work hard to kind of keep that stamina high. that means teachers like teresa have to read the room to help get these little kids through the learning day and let's talk about that learning and the loss of learning so many were

concerned with during the pandemic. i think it's so important to know that kids grow and learn every single day whether they're reading a book or they're watching something on tv or they're playing with their friends. they're growing and learning in some way and it's really important that we remember that as we send them back to school because they're not as far behind as one might think that they would be given the situation that they were in encouraging to hear but with the spike in covid cases among kids. it's understandable if summer feeling a bit discouraged teresa's district union has this dashboard teach and parents can access to see weekly case numbers in terms of the whole state the county. i i look but i don't obsess. i think that's my healthy way to do things. i like that like you're aware, but you don't obsess i need to do that with everything in my life. i'm gonna take that part it takes time to get to that but it isn't. it does take time. teresa has her hands full. she also has three school-aged kids, so she has to keep her students safe and learning while so juggling possible exposure

notices and other things with their own kids, but you know, like everyone else she is doing the best she can and i think she's doing pretty well. --. she's doing amazingly. well, i can't imagine how busy her day is and to all of those teachers who are making a big adjustment obviously alma sort of the students after being away for a year and a half. yeah, and she's always so positive and happy to be back and it's just great. that work. yeah. all right. well coming up next we're joined live by the chief of the oakland police department will be talking one-on-one about how to build a better bay area and how to cut down on crime. our numbers of officers are falling precipitously yet the highest violent crime in a decade. fighting crime takes funding tonight a look at what it takes to get more

thanks a lot for joining us. thanks for having me. now chief back in june you were quite emotional talking about an experience you had at a crime scene and we want to play that moment for you and our viewers. saturday night i went out to a scene. of a young man that lost his life. and a lady yelled out the window. do something about it? all right, so we have to ask chief. a lot of people are wondering what are you doing about it? well, we are doing everything we can to address violence in the city of oakland. we are moving resources from behind desk duty and putting them into the field. recently moved to additional officers into our homicide division to with our investigations as we've reached an unprecedented number of a hundred homicides on monday. so we've been making adjustments in the department to have 24 hour coverage seven days a week to try to address violence and be quick to respond to shooting

incidents that happen citywide. a chief back in april you were the only law enforcement official invited to washington dc as we reported at the time to be part of president biden's announcement on expanding gun control measures. you were hoping that oakland would get federal grant money to combat violence out on the streets. did anything come out of that meeting that's tangible. yes, we have received grant applications. we are in the process as we speak. we hope that we hear some good news from the department of justice soon. hopefully in the next. or two, but we definitely have received information from the white house allowing us to apply for some grants that i think will be really helpful grants that not just will support enforcement but also will support our violence prevention efforts as well to support our street outreach teams and our violence interrupters. so i think using this comprehensive approach to address in violence is the way in which we can address huge spike in crime.

why this spike in crime? we heard mary libby schaaf a little while ago talking about the pandemic, do you see the pandemic playing a role in the rise and violence? yes, i believe the pandemic played a tremendous role in a rise in violence in particularly how we address gun violence in the city of oakland? we've been focused around our ceasefire strategy for the last seven years and it is produced some really positive outcomes for the city. we'd experience a five-year low in homicides in 2019. and so not having the ability to directly communicate or utilize our strategy in the manner in which we have previously done over many years, i think. definitely causes some issues not being able to provide resources and support those involved in by also had an impact as well our chief when you took this job many months ago. i i'm sure you knew it was going to be a difficult job perhaps you were surprised at how tough a job it is. what is the nexus between

cracking down on crime and criminals in a serious directed and hard way versus finding program that help keep kids off the streets and out of trouble. how do you balance those two things in terms of a law enforcement perspective and in terms of a budgeting perspective. why they as a city in a city leaders, i think we have to figure out how we how we are able to fund both realize in that there's important that we have alternatives to arrest and programs that support violence prevention and help people make better decisions with their lives, but clearly when you have a hammer a hundred homicides you have to also have systems of accountability, you know systems of accountability have to work you have to be able to address those. that continue to pick up firearms in your community and use them. other people you also have to have resources to address people that have participated in

robberies and car jackets and all of the other crimes that we have seen go high increased their percentages over the last several months. and so i think it's a bal. pr in oakland a city that believes in trying to prevent these from happening and supporting our community. but also we have to have accountability there has to be a law we have to follow laws and we have to make sure as a department we can hold those accountable who are using the firearms in our community. all right. well chief armstrong we thank you so much for joining us. i know our viewers are a very grateful to be able to hear from you tonight. so we appreciate your time. thank you. indeed. all right, well, oakland struggles to deal with its surging homicide rate. keep in mind other nearby cities are not facing a similar crisis in many respects authorities say there have been 14 homicides in the rest of alameda county or the population is three times the size of oakland, of course, that's the counting not the city a sheriff gregory. ahern says oakland deals with more issues that lead to violent. like gang violence drug

trafficking and homelessness those crimes, you know are all intertwined in my opinion based on a lot of issues that are going on within the community whether it be lack of education lack of jobs poverty. sheriff a hearn also points to a lack of funding for both the oakland police department and community programs designed to address those issues. the oakland city council is meeting right now and one of the issues is whether to add up to two new police academies to keep staffing at the minimum levels abc 7 news reporter tim johns. down the debate the issue of policing is once again front and center in oakland barry donelan the president of the oakland police officers association says the violence in the city is have control while city leaders are vilifying and demonizing them at every turn that defund strategy by the majority of city council has brought us this violent

crime. donaldson says police don't have the resources to keep up with the crime surge. the department is currently losing about 10 officers a month. our numbers of officers are falling precipitously. we're at 694 today lowest. we've been in seven years yet the highest violent crime in a decade. donald believes officers are leaving largely because of city leaders actions a claim firmly rejected by several members of the oakland city council that that's a ridiculous exaggeration. most people who are leaving the police force are retiring because that's there. they're now a retirement age both councilmember, dan cobb and councilmember noel gallo told abc 7 they think the council will add a third police academy to the city this fiscal year to help address the problem, but they want to make sure it is with some fundamental changes, how do i screen? where do i recruit? how long do i maintain the officers? because if there's one thing everyone can agree on it's that the violence needs to stop in

ago he had surgery. he's ready to come back and pitch this week for yeah, i mean the thing is, people like geico because it's just easy. bundling for example. you've got car insurance here. and home insurance here. why not... schuuuuzp.. put them together. save even more. some things are just better together, aren't they? like tea and crumpets. but you wouldn't bundle just anything. like, say... a porcupine in a balloon factory. no. that'd be a mess. i mean for starters, porcupines are famously no good in a team setting.

geico. save even more when bundle home and car insurance. your eyes. beautiful on the outside, but if you have diabetes, there can be some not-so-pretty stuff going on, on the inside. it's true, if you have diabetes, you know high blood sugar is the root of the problem. but that excess sugar can cause the blood vessels to be seriously damaged. and when that happens, this could happen, vision loss or even blindness. that's right, diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of blindness for adults in the u.s. but even though you can't see it, there is something you can do about it. remember this: now is the time to get your eyes checked. eye care is an incredibly important part of your long-term diabetes management. see a path forward with actions and treatments that may help your eyes— and protect against vision loss. just say to yourself, “now eye see.” then—go see an eye care specialist. visit noweyesee.com to get the facts about diabetes, your eyes, and what you can do next—to take control of your sight.

brought to you by regeneron. river rock casino good evening with the a's two back at the second wild card with 12 games left to play. they're about to get a physical and emotional boost. acid who took that line drive to the face that required surgery. he's going to be back on the

mound on thursday bassett got hit august 17th underwent an operation to repair fractures. he'll start for the a's against the mariners on thursday one of the a's leaders on and off the field. so bassets. come back is really big. he says he will not wear a mask on the mountain when he's pitching has not watched the play on video adding he is not worried about going back out there. i've filmed hundreds of thousands of pitches in my and it's happened one time. so i mean it is what it is if it happens again. i know the doctor to go to i'll say that so yeah, we're good. i mean we're good. think initially it'll be like wow, and then i think after that'll just be like regular, you know, chris bassett doing this thing out there. so to me, it's it's kind of miraculous, but considering it's chris bassett not so much. it is unbelievable and he is fearless. all right onto the giants as you can see look at the standings here. they have a one game lead on the dodgers atop the nl west with 12 games to play giants in san

diego tonight. the dodgers are in colorado giants have six games left with a feud and padres. they're fighting amongst them. three with the rockies and three with the diamondbacks with record of 97 and 53 the giants. they've already locked up. a playoff spot, but they want to win the division not get stuck in some one game wild card playoff. i feel like we've been playing great baseball, you know going on a wind streak, you know, but they've just been matching us. and that's annoying. it's annoying that both, you know, both of us are playing good at the same time. but hey, that's you know. people expected the dodgers to be doing that and you know, we just got to keep our head down and try our best not to scoreboard watch just focus on winning our ball games and let the rest take care of itself. we're all doing the scoreboard watching to the nfl now davis mills was kind of the forgotten man and the great qb draft of 2021, but the stanford man who went in the third round to houston. he's gonna start for the texans

thursday night against carolina mills replacing tie rod taylor who injured spring sunday to shawn watson still on the shelf while the team. resolution of his legal issue, so it'll be mills going up against fellow stanford man christian mccaffrey a battle of cardinal in thursday night football venom 2 will be released. theater is oktober 15th and it starts not george kittel but tom hardy is a man whose body has been invaded by an alien periodically transforming him into a monster some family members would say hey dad that about you 49ers tight end george kennel. he's in promo for the movie. this isn't what i signed up for. you guys me. yummy. hey, some of us are trying to sleep. so. sec. i respect that aggression on a football field. but not in my living. that's the third time this week, dude.

iman shumpert wowing the crowd in his debut on. with the stars last night shumpert may remember him with the cavs with the knicks dancing the jive with his professional partner. he looked like he was the pro on the dance floor here. look at these moves. but the judges were rather harsh. giving him a total of only 21 points in particular len goodman gave him a four. miscarriage of justice right there. he should have been much. all right sports on abc 7 sponsored by river rock casino boy. that land is a tough. not a plan. i was good. at thanks larry. all right. well coming up tonight on abc's at seven starting at 8 pm. it's bachelor in paradise. that's followed by the ultimate surfer. and of course don't miss abc 7 news at 11, but that is it for
