is going. there will be a final vote on february 8. mike hutchinson wants everyone to know he is the one who released the list of schools that may end up closing. the oakland school board member first posted it on social media. >> i didn't think anything. it wasn't privileged or confidential information. what i did was my job, reporting to my constituents in the community that information i received about schools being under threat for closure. lyanne: the oakland superintendent then sent out a note saying, to be clear, the information is from a draft, not the final set of recommendations. this is a map with proposed closures for this year, among them an elementary school that today, staff there began distributing flyers to parents interested in having a meeting about this possible closure. lucretia henderson, a grandmother, has a deep
6:01 pm
connection to the school. >> they are losing not only the education, they are losing the support system. they're losing their friends. they are losing their teachers. it is a disservice. lyanne: the school service says it needs -- the school district says it needs to cut $50 million but hutchinson insists there is no budget deficit. >> we are going through adjustments to free up money to raise compensation for staff. we are not in budget crisis. we have money in reserves. lyanne: then, there is the issue of declining enrollment in oakland, which affects district budget. for example, before schools shut down be -- before the pandemic, the number of students enrolled as of march 2020 was 39,900. at the beginning of this year, the recorded number on august 23, 2021 was 34,900 -- 930 four fewer students. that is less money coming from

the state per student. sarah goody teaches at red stale newcomer high school, also on the preliminary closure list. she says there should be community input. >> the closure vote is on february 8 and schools are not even going to be notified. it is two weeks. the whole thing is outrageous. lyanne: another argument that is being made is that when you compare california's largest school districts, oakland has the highest ratios of schools -- highest ratio of schools to students bit the district argues they maintain -- they spend more money to maintain them. but let's put something in perspective. 20 years ago, oakland embraced public charter schools more than any district in california. i don't think anyone would argue that giving parents a choice also meant that traditional public schools have lost students. lyanne melendez, abc 7 news.
6:03 pm

a san bruno jewelry store owner took matters into his own hands to stop a smash and grab robbery. surveillance video shows a person running into the jewelers last friday and taking a crowbar to the display case per watch as the owner confronts the thief, then draws his gun which he is licensed to carry. the thief and two other people outside the store ran off empty-handed. the owner says lawmakers need to do something to prevent these types of crimes. until then, he says business owners like him remain on their own. the first lawsuit against the city of san jose has been filed less than 24 hours after the city approved a controversial organ -- ordinance. the rule acquires gun owners to buy liability insurance. abc 7 eyewitness news reporter zach fuentes has details. >> we promised that if they passed this, we were going to see them in court. and last night, we did just that.
6:05 pm
zach: that action, following a long council meeting last night approving a first of its kind ordinance in the country. in six months, gun owners will have to have liability insurance and pay a fee of $25. the fee would go to a nonprofit, the money to be used for firearms safety training, suicide prevention, the mystic violence prevention and more. >> the second amendment protects the right to own a gun. it does not require taxpayers to subsidize that right. >> our goal with this lawsuit is to make sure this log doesn't go into effect. zach: the attorney representing the gun rights group says criminals are not going to comply with the law. >> law-abiding citizens deter crime by having weapons in their homes and are going to bear the burden of this ordinance -- this unconstitutional ordinance. zach: the san jose mayor responded with a law firm representing the city pro bono. he says gun use isn't the only
6:06 pm
focus of the new law, citing suicides by god and gun inflicted injuries. >> we are employing an approach that addresses the many forms of death and injury inflicted with the use of our firearm in our city and throughout the country. zach: the city says so far, this is the only lawsuit they have against them, but are expecting more. >> i'm confident we are going to emerge from this litigation and have an ordinance that survives constitutional scrutiny. zach: zach 20's come abc 7 eyewitness news. dan: the latest pandemic headlines, tomato, you might see free n95 masks at cvs stores. they are supplied by the government and everyone is allowed to get three of them at no cost spirit for the second day in a row come the california test positivity rate has dropped, another sign the omicron surge appears to be waiting. despite good news about a possible omicron peak reached, hospital systems across the bay
6:07 pm
area continue to be overwhelmed. we found that icus and several bay area counties are nearly full. abc 7 eyewitness news reporter stephanie sierra has been crunching the data and is here with the numbers. stephanie: our analysis found icus and most bay area counties were more than 80% full on average in january. health officers in these counties say unlike san francisco, san mateo, santa clara and marin, they do not believe they have peaked from omicron just yet. preparing for the peak. the omicron peak, a signal some sense of normalcy lies ahead. san francisco, san mateo, marin counties and santa clara all heading in that direction, but most of the bay area has yet to reach that point as icus fill up. solano county's health officer says there has been more covert hospitalizations during omicron than any other surge in the pandemic. but icus are not as packed with
6:08 pm
covid patients as previously seen. >> only about a third of icu beds are taken up by covid. during the delta peak, it was more like half. >> are you concerned it will get worse? >> i am concerned the icu impact will get worse because i don't believe we are at the worst of it. stephanie: the eyewitness news team data analysis found bay area counties that reported on average more than 80% of icu beds were occupied in mid-january. the rest of the bay area counties fell below that. san francisco, 73%. alameda, 60 9%. sonoma, 68%, leaving moran with the lowest at 44%. >> the peak of our surge is behind us. it is important to note that rates are still extremely high and the decline is not rapid. stephanie: slow decline in recovery is expected across the bay area. >> our hospitals are under
6:09 pm
strain. stephanie: hospital capacities in several counties like alameda for example continued shrinking, largely due to the fact icu hospitalizations lag behind several weeks. >> we are about where we were at the peak of last winter's surge. but it has been more challenging given how much virus is around. stephanie: the infectious nature of the virus compounded with patients sick with other illnesses is hitting hospitals hard. as of mid-january, our analysis found about one third of the 61 hospitals across the bay area are at least 90% full. >> every winter, hospitals tend to become saturated and a lot of people find themselves in the icu because of respiratory diseases. or people showing up with hip replacements or people who have had a heart attack or some other condition where we don't suspect covid has any role in that, but they are still covid positive.
6:10 pm
stephanie: while the influx of covid and non-covid patients is threatening hospital systems, so our staffing shortages. >> every single day, we have a staffing crunch. every single day, there is a hole in the schedule that everyone shuffles to fix. and this has real implications for our ability to expand our capacity. stephanie: expanding capacity, and necessity now. >> that is where we are right now. we have to be very careful about how we provide care and elective surgeries come about transfers into our health care system. stephanie: and in the future, as health care systems look ahead to future waves of the pandemic. >> covid has thrown a lot of curve balls at us. stephanie: it certainly has. health officers from contra costa, solano and napa counties say they have not peak from omicron yet but are close and expect the impact to hospitals
