kristen: this was the 76th freeway shooting in alameda county in the last 12 months according to c.h.p., most have happened. on 880 and 580. detectives confirm casper was not target -- confirmed that jasper wu was not the target. larry: luz pena kansas. in the newsroom. luz: the line i keep hearing from viewers is, if 23-year--- if a 23 month hold is not safe with his family driving on the freeway, then who is? i talked to police about their efforts to combat freeway shootings. during the press conference after 23 month old desperate who was shot and killed by a stray bullet on i-880, c.h.p. officers revealed a shocking data point. >> over the past 12 months, there have been 76 freeway

shootings within alameda county. luz: when one challenges how safe our fears are, c.h.p. responded. >> the chances of this happening are not high. luz: shootings and freeways are of the larger issue, the gun epidemic. >> we have asked many policies and that includes gun tracing, truly getting illegal guns off the streets. luz: to find solutions, we drove to this area. in 2015, contra costa county was facing 150 shootings in a 13-month time-lapse. dan romero was the first city leader in contra costa county to search for solutions. >> four mayors in contra costa county supported me, and with that support, we were able to go to the state and get help. luz: with $3.5 million over a three-year period contra costa county installed highway cameras along interstate 880 and highway 4 that have helped decrease shootings in this freeways.

but to him, this is not a victory. >> it has happened again. it has happened again. would have thought that when we got the first freeway camera system, that the state would have taken steps to do the whole bay area. and they didn't. so here we are again, but this time, a 23 month child died. for what? so, you luz: councilmember danbury mayor is asking for the rest of the bay area to unite like contra costa he did six years ago. the da said these cameras have been key in prosecution. >> when we have the systems working together, the shotspotter alerting law enforcement immediately that shots have been fired in a location, and then also the camera is capturing and the license plate readers-the information

in real-time, that is a great law enforcement tool. luz: according to c.h.p., there have been 31 shootings in contra costa county this year, so yes, even with cameras, the crime continues to happen, but that is a 68%. decrease from. 2018 in the newsroom, luz pena, abc 7 news. larry: the story is so sad. -- is so sad. that are no words at this point. right now police are on the of the serious crash. i seven hoovers this at highway 101 rockaway beach avenue. at least five vehicles are involved. police have not said if anybody was injured but there are delays in both directions of highway 101. most of the traffic backup is on southbound. kristen: now to the latest covid-19 headlin pfizer is asking the fda to amend its booster authorization to include everyone 18 and up. pfizer said its trial showed

booster raised vaccine efficacy to 96%. california is among 21 states that have seen cases go up 10% over the last two weeks. the daily case average in the u.s. is up 12.6%. california's test positivity is 2.3%. larry: covid cases and hospitalizations are on the rise once again. california is back in the red. the cdc lists the state in the high transmission category again. today governor newsom address the issue. >> california experienced an increase. we know why. it is not particularly difficult, after a couple of years, to understand. you see those trends in europe, you see those trends extend in other parts of the globe. unfortunately, that is what is happening here. larry: dr. patel is part of the abc 7 news vaccine team joining us now as we dig deeper into what is happening in california as well as the rest of the

country. thanks for the time. so we have california in the high transmission category. florida is in the moderate category -- california has been stricter with the covid protocols. so is this fuzzy math? or what is going on here? dr. patel: it could be fuzzy math. people speculated that maybe they are testing less in florida. but we have to be realistic. people look at florida and they have seen the political statements, but 60% of floridians are fully vaccinated. only 63% of californians are. in san francisco the number is higher, but it is still the unvaccinated driving the spread. and as you heard from governor newsom, we are approaching winter. as we are starting to lift mandates, people are becoming complacent. so as we have seen in europe, this is a set up for more transmission and more local outbreaks. larry: we should also point out

that deaths per capita are much higher in florida than california. so the bay area is doing well but, other parts of california are not. is this simply a question of who is vaccinated and who isn't? dr. patel:? dr. patel: in terms of case numbers, it is. the people unvaccinated are still more likely to be driving cases, and as you pointed out, more likely to wind up in hospital or worse. it is those cases. there are many parts of california including inland, where vaccination rates are a bit lower. the conversation just cannot be about boosters and restrictions in areas where people aren't following the rules, we need to be looking at the fact that, the reality check that not all americans will get vaccinated is upon us, and it will continue to be a source of new cases. larry: feels like just keep going around on the roller coaster. seems like we are headed for another big winter surge. how concerned are you about that? dr. patel: i am concerned more

about a local winter surge that could happen in several parts of the country. as we have seen about the pandemic, the virus, especially the delta variant, it wants to jump around in places that are coming up this upcoming winter unlike last winter weather aren't as many restrictions, and we have opened now 230 plus countries where unvaccinated people could come into the country, yes, they need to show proof of vaccination, there is more troubling happening in our country as well, so i am concerned about that. and in order to avoid this continuously going on, we need to start addressing the offramp. what is our tolerance for the daily death rate? i hate to see it normalize, but that is our next conversation. larry: alright, doc, we hate to leave it there. we appreciate you being here. thank you. kristen: alameda county first responders are facing their own vaccine mandate much like

neighboring counties including santa clara, san francisco, and contra costa. reporter dustin dorsett explains. justin: in the city of fremont, the writing is on the wall -- covid knows no age, race, color or religion. alameda county says getting vaccinated is the best way protect yourself and others from the virus. they are doubling down on the notion with a new vaccine mandate for first responders. >> having people vaccinated when you are exposed to thousands of people whether it be in the jail setting or the public makes everybody safer. it makes first responders safer and the people that we come in contact with safer if everybody is vaccinated. justin: for the nearly 4000 emergency personnel in the county like emts, it is a new choice, but fully vaccinated, or take weekly tests and wear masks while entering high risk care facilities. the alameda county health officer said in a statement

today, "unvaccinated providers held during high-risk health care facilities can spread covid-19. this order is necessary to protect order is necessary to protect older and medically vulnerable residents and staff." the alameda county sheriff says his office already has a similar mandate in place for their 1700 employees. 54% of them have shown proof of full vaccination. the sheriff says he respected those who choose to not get the vaccine, and he hopes the mandate does not lead to the loss of more critical first responders, since they also have the choice to get weekly covid tests. >> we need every member of the personnel we can, dealing with the shortages in staffing now. even one or three people leaving because of this would be very detrimental. dustin fish county employees have until december 21 to provide proof of vaccination, and a booster shot is not required. in alameda county, dustin dorsey, abc 7 news. larry: the california bears just announced this weekend's game

against usc will be postponed. more players have tested positive for covid in berkeley and they are not able to practice, this after more than two dozen players had to sit out last week's game. kristen: you are looking at live pictures from san francisco and san rafael tower cameras and marched him. the storm is moving out of the bay area, but a different picture depending on where you are. let's head over to spencer christian for an update on how much rain we got and what else is coming. spencer: some areas didn't get much at all, others got a lot. here is a look at the totals. areas like san jose and mountain view saw only 0.02 inches. but one third of an inch in morgan hill. 0.85 in san francisco. north bay, 1-3 inches. from live doppler 7, all this quiet, but there are a couple sprinkles around.

to go two miles. >> it just makes the commute harder. amy: wind also brought down a wire on the road, a double dose of problems on the main road in and out of the area. it is tough, but these things happen with the weather. . amy: this is just one tree. the road is full of many more. what to do about this battery is a source of controversy. >> i like the trees. there is a lot of lawsuits about the trees coming down. we should really bury the cables underground. amy: and the question about what to do about infrastructure and trees, as the debate rages on, we will inevitably have to continue to deal with road closures like this one. in lafayette, amy hollyfield, abc 7 news. kristen: recall election just two months after the governors recall election, another recall is announced. whose job is on the line now, we will tell you. and technology that makes a difference. the competition underway right the competition underway right to be a thriver with metastatic breast cancer

announcer: building a better bay area. moving forward, finding solutions. this is abc 7 news. larry: now to an update on the story refers told you about last month. kristen: a hair salon was confused why booking app classpass was scheduling appointments for them without their knowledge or consent. larry: abc 7 news anchor liz kreutz has learned other salon the country have had a similar issue, and a new lawsuit has been filed against the subscription company. liz: the owners of pursuit salon in los altos recently told abc 7 about an unusual encounter with the client.

a woman came into the salon and said she had an appointment, but they had no record of it. the client explained she had booked on classpass concierge, a program that allows members to book beauty services at a local business. >> with a special classpass. liz: it is part of the larger and well-known classpass subscription service for fitness center and james. the problem with the pursuit salon honors -- >> i told him we had never heard of classpass. liz: they had no idea they were being featured on the platform. they said their profile on the site also showed several openings for appointments, that were not actually available. >> they took some lingo from our website and took some photos from our website and uploaded some stock images that we didn't even do the hair for. so it was kind of liz: it turns out pursuit salon is not alone. since our story aired, a class-action lawsuit has been filed against classpass for this very reason. it alleges the new york company,

recently acquired by california-based mindbetty, improperly uses business identities for their own use. the plaintiff in this case is brian jackson, warner over nail salon in new jersey. jackson says his first encounter with classpass happened in september, when a client said she had already prepaid for her service using classpass. brian had no record for that payment, though, and also no affiliation with the company. >> after that i found they were using our name and likeness and even offering our services on their website as part of their packages. liz: jackson said when he later tried to contact that client to remedy the situation, he could not, because the number on her account was not her number, that one for classpass. >> they are actually controlling the data and information of the client who come into our business. liz: still, according to the complaint the client described that same encounter online where she gave classpass this one star

review saying she was, quote, "scammed out of $70." the complaint alleges that the company is not only misrepresenting businesses, that also misrepresenting the size of their network. the company says they have 50,000 health and wellness partners. . this is jackson's attorney? >> the business are being listed without their consent. and consumers are duped into signing up with classpass based on false expectations of this wide network of services. >> with classpass, you can try something you have never done before. liz: classpass began in 2017 as a membership program to try different genes and workout classes in cities around the country. recently the company expanded into looking beauty and wellness appointments. a spokesperson did not respond to abc 7's request for comment about the lawsuit, but previously told us they do list businesses that do not previously agreed to partner with them.

the company said it does not make any revenue of concierge services, and that this is a way to help members discover local businesses. >> it is great that the client who did find us found us through classpass, but at the same time, classpass accepted money on my business's's behalf without our consent, and they are also advertising that we are partnered with them, in an effort to generate memberships on their behalf. that only they collect money for. liz: jackson told us he tried to contact classpass, but never heard back. pursuit salon, which is not part of the complaint, was able to reach a classpass representative, and is also no longer listed on the site. those owners shared their story, simply wishing to raise awareness and protect other small bay area businesses. >> is like doordash signing up a restaurant and asking for a food delivery that is not available. it doesn't make sense. liz: ultimately the attorney says the lawsuit comes down to

this. >> businesses will choose how they advertise and market their businesses. liz: liz kreutz, abc 7 news kristen: a big step in the effort to get groun ceremony for 100% affordable, excuse transit-oriented development. the project is being built in the parking lot next to the balboa park station, and will provide residents with extensive social, employment, and training services. >> we have space in san francisco to build affordable housing. lots of space. there are lots of parking lots like this all over the city. so whenever someone tells you that people just need to move away, there isn't enough room, just point them to this place. kristen: is the first affordable housing development approved under a state senate bill that streamlines legislation for housing construction in
