with the latest. reporter: it is a little bit after 7:00 p.m. we have been waiting two hours for an update from the nypd on the investigation that has made progress, but the manhunt continues. you pointed out how much worse this could have been, here is proof. lawmeources say had jmedungttack. thcoulhacarnage. the subway trad the station, people slammed on the door to escape the carnage. when the train doors opened, a plume of smoke and commuters flowed out, some limping, and a massive shooter among those people. >> there were people banging

into each other, smoke everywhere, and people lying on the platform. >> i was scared. who is next? it was horrifying. people were terrified. reporter: it happened during the morning rush as the train approached a stop in the rampage began. >> an individual donda gas mask, -- donned a gas mask, took a canister and opened it, and the train filled with smoke. he opened fire, striking multiple people on the subway and platform. reporter: a dozen were hospitalized with gunshot wounds, none seriously. we have learned that some surveillance cameras on the station platform had not been working at the time of the shooting. this afternoon, 30's indicated they had made significant progress in hunting the gunmen -- authorities indicated they had made significant progress in

hunting the gunman. >> it was shocking, scary. we were wondering if the gunman was here. reporter: this afternoon, authorities located a u-haul van they had been searching for, one rented the credit card that police found on the platform at the train station and believe that is potentially linked to the gunman, and one reason this update has been delayed. we are now on a two-hour late for the latest from the nypd and we will send it your way. larry: the brooklyn nets have a playoff game tonight. where they play is only a few miles from that shooting. what kind of enhanced security will there be at the arena or at public transportation nearby in the because you have close to 20,000 fans going to that game? reporter: well, the first thing

i would say that brooklyn would be the fourth-largest city in the country. it is huge. the fact it is only a couple of miles away is a world away. the nypd has a ramp up in major locations throughout the city, a significant presence that has jumped up as they continue this manhunt, not just looking for the suspect, shooter, but also to try to determine any potential copycats come about as you see here, there's a lot of traffic. you can see it over my shoulder. life goes on. that game will proceed as planned. that's how they want it in new york and that's how it will be. larry: thanks. liz: now let's go to our reporter live in the newsroom with a look at what agencies are

saying. reporter: mass transit systems in the bay area and across the country are increasing patrols and police are asking the public to report anything unusual, while san francisco and others emphasized that there are no known threats in the bay area and everybody can expect to see an increase in police presence, as we saw today at this bart station. then francisco police department say people will see police patrols in high and heavy populated downtown areas. the police chief says they increased patrols today and gave an up date on camera. >> bart has put cameras in all trains. we have numerous station cameras and platforms, parking lots, well over 4000 working cameras in our system that we use as an investigative tool that has helped to help solve a lot of crimes and a lot of things that happened in our system. reporter: in san jose, they are

increasing visibility on the light rail system aboard trains and add stations throughout santa clara county. they say canines will be patrolling the system randomly throughout the week. if you see anything suspicious, you are asked to reported to the police. liz: thank you. we are sending personal alerts like this with new information of live video as it comes in. you can download the mobile app for push alerts on your phone whenever it happens. we are waiting for a news conference to get underway with the latest details on the subway shooting and we will bring that to you live it soon as it happens. a news conference on the subway attack is getting underway soon, as we mentioned, and we will get that to you soon. take a listen shortly. and, the oakland police chief says nonviolence locally, local issues, violence, is a problem plaguing his city.

this weekend, there were at least a dozen shootings, including one that killed a 15-year-old girl. the chief today highlighted the problem of ghost guns and says officers have, or did 400 firearms are ready, 30% increase from this time last year. >> the number of firearms officers are coming across every day is unbelievable. we are seeing people with more access to these weapons and the willingness to use these weapons in our community. liz: he prays the announcement yesterday by president biden about heightened regulations against ghost guns intended to make the weapons easier to trace. larry: now let's go to that news conference in brooklyn regarding the subway attack. let's listen and live in new york. >> the efforts along with the nypd are ongoing, as well as the special agent in charge, john devito, but we will begin from the mayor of the city of new york, eric adams. mayor adams:

larry: so, the mayor of new york has covid right now, so they're trying to set up a zoom feed and everyone at the conference is waiting for the audio, but those of you who have been on zoom the past couple of years know sometimes you click this, click that, and then they can hear you. right now, they seem to be having technical difficulties getting the mayor and his audio up, so presumably that will you be available in just a few seconds. liz: again, this is an update on

that subway attack that happened at rush hour on the subway train into manhattan and brooklyn during rush hour. 29 people were injured or shot. 10 people shot, five in critical condition, and thankfully, those five people have stabilized in right now authorities do not believe that anybody has been killed in this attack, but we will see if we get any updates momentarily here. larry: let's see if we will get any details or whether they will try to reconnect mayor adams's feet, so he can be the first person to speak. >> thank you for attending and helping to get this information to the public. it is so important. we are truly fortunate this was not significant worse than it is. as we reported this afternoon, a man traveling on a manhattan-bound train opened two canisters that dispensed smoke throughout the subway car. he then shot multiple passengers as the train pulled into the

station in sunset park at 30 six st. 10 people were injured by gunfire, and an additional 13 were either injured as they rush to get out of the train station, or they suffered smoke inhalation. some good news is that none of the injuries appear to be life-threatening. as detectives process the crime scene, they recovered a 9mm semiotic ham gone in extended magazines, and a hatchet. also found is what we believe to be gasoline in a bag containing consumer grade fireworks and a fuse. about an hour ago, detectives located a u-haul van in brooklyn that we believe is connected to the suspect. at this time, we still do not know the motivation. the individual boarded the train and was intent on violence clearly. we are conducting a highly cord knitted investigation that includes nypd detectives, the fbi, and nypd joint terrorism task force, and the atf.

it will be instrumental tracing the firearm in both sticks. the suspect is a dark skinned male and was wearing a neon orange vest and a gray colored sweatshirt. we do have a person of interest in this investigation. we need the assistance of the public for additional information. we are asking anyone with information to call crime stoppers one 800 577 tips. we know this incident is of grave concern to new yorkers. we cannot lose sight of victims in the city. we will use every resource we can to bring those to justice who continue to pray on the citizens of new york. i will ask the chief to give details of the investigation. >> good evening, everybody. today at 8:24 a.m. aboard a manhattan-bound train, 10 people

were shot, seven males, three females, and they were removed to area hospitals. an additional 13 people suffered injuries related to smoke inhalation, falling down, or a panic attack. the information i am about to give you is per luminary and subject to change right now. -- preliminary and subject to change right now. the train is between two stations, seated in the second car, in the rear corner, is a dark skinned male. various descriptions of his height are given. he is heavyset, wearing an orange-green nylon-type construction vest and also had on a gray hoodie, surgical mask, and a neon green construction helmet. as the train approached the 36th street station, witnesses state that the mail opened up two smoke grenades, tossed those

smoke grenades on the subway floor, brandishes a glock nine millimeter handgun. he then fired that weapon at least 33 times, striking 10 people. the man then fled the scene and detectives are actively trying to determine his whereabouts. recovered at that scene was a glock 17 9mm handgun. three extended glock-type magazines. one was still in the weapon one under a seat, and one in a backpack. we had 33 discharge shale casings, 15 bullets, five bullet fragments, two detonated smoke grenades, two non-detonated smoke grenades, hatchet, black garbage pail, a black rolling cart with gasoline and a u-haul

key pud u-haul key at the scene -- u-haul key. the u-haul key at the scene led us to the u-haul than a short while ago in brooklyn. the man we believe who is the renter of this u-haul in philadelphia is a frank r james, male, 62 years old, with addresses in wisconsin and philadelphia. we are endeavoring to locate him to determine his connection to the subway shooting, if any. the two crime scenes, the subway in the van, are very active and are still being processed. we are asking anyone with information to help, cellphone video, witness information, or if they can identify the perpetrator or the renter of this vehicle, to call crime stoppers one 800 577 tips. there is a $50,000 reward out.

$25,000 from the new york city police foundation and the 12,500 from the mta, and 12,500 from the twa local 100. i want to ensure everybody that we in the nypd have all our resources working this, along with our partners in the fbi and the atf to find this perpetrator. with that, i would like to turn it over to the mayor? ok. ok. mayor adams? : thank chief. as we indicated, today was a difficult day for new york. days like these are playing out too often in cities across america.

as mentioned, there was an act of violence in the heart of brooklyn. a shooter attacked a subway car full of innocent people at the 36th street station. it was a quiet tuesday morning and was turned into a war zone. a smoke bomb was detonated in multiple shots rang out. we witnessed multiple injuries, as mentioned. thanks to the quick thinking of the mta crew and the bravery and cooperation of passengers, lives were saved. our first responders took the injured to area hospitals, and all are expected to recover. iav protecting public safety. i stand by that and i will continue to do everything in my power. this is not only a new york city problem. this rage, violence, guns,

relentless shooters are an american problem, and it would take all levels of government to solve it. it is going to take the entire nation to speak out and push back against the cult of death that has taken hold in this nation, a cult that allows innocents to be sacrificed on a daily basis, a country where buying weapons of mass to trucks and -- mass destruction as easy as picking up plywood or a garden shovel. we have over 400 million guns in this country alone. the u.s.-gun homicide rate is 26 times that of other high income countries. we have over 100 people die in gun violence every day. guns are the leading cause of death for american children and teens, like a 16 or a baby we lost in the bronx.

from schools i comho, virginia,i festivals inastwo nightclubs in orlando, to movie theaters and yoga classes across the nation, these killers have used weapons of mass destruction to massacre innocent people. they control no military forces, yet these individual killers terrorize our nation. this city will not adapt to dysfunction. ending gun violence means changing gun laws. we cannot clean up a flood when the water is still pouring into the basement. we can never stop the killing if we cannot stop the guns. to be clear, we will not surrender our city to the violent few, and we will not surrender america to this cult of death. the sea of violence comes from many river come and we must dam every river.

it is the work of my life, this administration, and this police department. we are not stopping until the peace we deserve comes the reality we experience. a former police officer and if a new yorker is your mayor, and we will end his pandemic and we will capture the individual responsible for today's attack. we will capture him and prosecute him to the full extent of the law. thank you, nypd, responders, collaboration, state, city. >> thank you, mr. mayor. i would like to turn it over to the fbi. larry: mayor adams giving his statement, obvious frustration given there are over 300 million guns in the country and seeing what happened on the subway in new york. interesting that they have already put out a picture of the

man they say is a person of interest. this is kind of unusual. typically the police withhold more information, but the message seems to be they want everybody looking for this man. liz: absolutely. here is the picture. frank james. they believe he is connected as a person of interest in the subway attack. they were able to find a u-haul key at the scene and take that u-haul key and find the u-haul part in brooklyn and they say that frank james is the person who went to that u-haul in philadelphia and in wisconsin, and nypd is asking for any information leading to his whereabouts or tips about this man, frank james. larry: if you want to continue watching the news conference live from new york, we have it stream for you. go to our website, abc7news.com. all our platforms you get more information there, but obvious at this is a man who was intent on doing more damage. he had a hatchet, a gun that

misfired, that locked up, and had fireworks that clearly were to create chaos with the smoke, the fireworks come and get everybody into a frenzy, and fortunately, nobody would dead nobody dead, 10 people shot, nine others injured from running away, falling down, or something happen on the train that caused an injury, but thankfully no deaths, and hopefully it will stay that way. meet a future mom, a first-time mom and a seasoned pro. this mom's one step closer to their new mini-van! yeah, you'll get used to it. this mom's depositing money with tools on-hand. cha ching. and this mom, well, she's setting an appointment here, so her son can get set up there

and need. and we need more time. so, we want kisqali. women are living longer than ever before with kisqali... ..when taken with an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant in postmenopausal women or in men with hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer. kisqali is a pill that's significantly more effective at delaying disease progression versus an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant alone. kisqali can cause lung problems, or an abnormal heartbeat, which can lead to death. it can cause serious skin reactions, liver problems, and low white blood cell counts that may result in severe infections. tell your doctor right away if you have new or worsening symptoms, including breathing problems, cough, chest pain, a change in your heartbeat, dizziness, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, tiredness, loss of appetite, abdomen pain, bleeding, bruising, fever, chills, or other symptoms of an infection, a severe or worsening rash, are or plan to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. avoid grapefruit during treatment. ask your doctor about living longer with kisqali.

larry: let's check the forecast. i saw mike. he was looking at me. allergies, wind. mike: right. but, pollan will be around for a while. there is rain on the way. i said i am tracking to chances of rain. now the seven-day is one day longer and i am tracking three chances of the wet weather. here is our roof camera, the wind gusting to 25 miles per hour now. those breezes will relax tonight. that would lead to cooler temperatures and maybe you should dress and layer's tomorrow morning. chances of rain next week. sunny and mild. we will try to squeeze that in sunday. here is the wind. yesterday, 50's. 41 now.

bass. 34. 22. 29 san jose. 15 in the valleys. 32 in napa. if you're on the bridge during the evening commute, wind will be gusting 30 to 40 miles per hour. watch as they taper tonight. that will lead to cooler conditions tomorrow morning. wind out of the northwest now, picking up some pollen. here is some relief tomorrow. the wind will be off the ocean. no trees. hopefully no pollen. the pollen should drop a little bit tomorrow. that way larry will not cry, i hope. [laughter] here is the cloud cover. cumulus clouds. some mountain snow and rain to the north. that will try to reach the north bay tomorrow. until then, high clouds increasing as breezes relax. mid-30's inland valleys. 40's around the bay and the coast. we have the coldest weather in these counties, 1:00 to 10:00,

pets, plants, pipes, protect those. tomorrow, below average. mid to upper 50's. 60 possible in the south bay and inland east bay neighborhoods. that's it. let's talk about the rain. sprinkles and light rain. the highest amounts in the north bay. slippery from time to time tomorrow. you can see a little bit of that in the morning in these counties. by noon, scattered light rain. more likely sprinkles and some dry air. some light to moderate rain tomorrow night, and then spreading southward through the morning commute thursday, more scattered showers thursday evening. this pattern of the onshore flow is moist. not a lot. less than a 10th for most of us, until you get to the north bay, but then we have what is coming in friday night and saturday, a better chance of wet weather after sprinkles possible friday during the day. look at that. there you go.

here is the possibility of rain out that this entire series of storms. we are looking at anywhere from .20 in the south bay, possibly more elsewhere, especially the north bay, where we can have nearly one inch. one on the scale for thursday, saturday, and tuesday. sunshine for easter. one of our warmer days. until then, that onshore breeze keeps us in the 60's and cooler than average. i hope you are not suffering tomorrow. liz: it has been a while that we have seen that much rain. mike: the last time was probably december. larry: we were let it wash the pollen away. it would just be tears of joy when i see you in the future. mike: that will be a change. larry: yes, it will. [laughter] thank you, mike. i will be crying if steph curry is not playing saturday. he's making good progress, not sure if he will be playing in game one against the nuggets. the warriors say he will return

practice this week. he sprained ligament and had a bone bruise in his foot march 16 against boston. he has been shooting and running , but the possibility of playing in game one will be based on his progress and making sure that there is no pain in his foot. the warriors playoff opener against the nuggets, saturday right here live on abc 7. liz: just ahead, what most americans think about the covid crisis. is it over? larry: and the city where a vaccine mandate is still in place. was, we will talk with someone coming u

solutions, this is abc7 news. larry: the latest covid headlines. 90% of americans believe the coronavirus is no longer a crisis. researchers say 75% call it a manageable problem. the white house says new mask mandate guidelines are coming soon, the federal mandate on public transportation will expire on monday. on sunday, cosco is dropping senior shopping hours. liz: officials at the oakland coliseum save the vaccine mandate could prevent events. oakland still requires usual proof of vaccination for large events. abc 7 reporter looks up why officials think it is time to end the rule. reporter: officials at the coliseum are asking for a change , as the bay area continues its recovery from the pandemic. oakland still requires people to show proof of vaccination for indoor events and large gatherings. >> on february 1 when all

counties were beginning to relax requirements oakland adopted this emergency ordinance. reporter: the executive director says event staff are worried the mandate will limit bookings for events and says his board will meet on friday to talk about the issue. >> we are getting signals from promoters and artists that oakland stands alone. reporter: what is the discussion with your board going to be like on friday? is it to send a clear message to oakland asking to modify this or lift mandate? >> that is my recommendation. reporter: deaths and hospitalizations remain low, and vaccination rates are high. one person says we need to embrace the endemic phase of covid, including lifting mandates. >> it is in the population with the high rates of vaccination, and endemic management means dropping vexing mandates and vexing passports. reporter: she says it brings in

vital tax revenue to the county, and if they are unable to schedule future events, she fears other places will benefit. >> it is important to us because otherwise, we are not on a level playing field with the other venues in our competitive region. larry: joining me now to talk more about the covid situation live and in person is dr. patel. >> it is good to be here. the last time i was here i had a four-month-old. larry: and now she is a teenager. it feels like it has been a long time. great to have you back. we just have the story about vaccine mandates being lifted. oakland has one. your thoughts? what's up? >> it is fair to have the conversation about whether it is time to lift the mandates if those guidelines are in place.

it is important to be honest with the public about what vaccines can and cannot do. if you're using rising cases to justify it, that is missing the point. vaccines are designed to prevent severe illness and hospitalizations. it warrants a discussion as we move forward. larry: when you hear a majority of americans, 90% that think covid is no longer a crisis, what is your reaction? >> not surprised. half the country has been saying that since 2020. i am not surprised people are over it. there is a lot of fatigue. by all metrics, the crisis phase hopefully is over, as we have more immunity, and hopefully we will not see that level, but it is not over. we could still see scattered outbreaks, as mentioned, and that is still a realistic kind of worried that we have and we need to keep our guard up,

especially those who are vulnerable. larry: it strikes me as so many people, i know they want it to be over. i just had a friend died two weeks ago from covid. it is not over. it is clearly not over. whatever we want it to be over, but it is not, and in philadelphia, spiking cases, so they have the mask mandate back. is this what it will be for the rest of the year where we are one foot on the gas, one foot on the break, and every city will have to manage it themselves? >> potentially. it is fair for cities to look at the situation and realize that when we say new normal, you don't have to be afraid of covid. that is a generalization that does not include a lot of people come including 9 million americans who are immuno compromised. those under five, and those medically fragile, and i'm heartbroken to hear about your friend because a lot of people are saying cases arise, what do i do? larry: yeah, well, really tragic, because he chose not to get vaccinated. and, it is just a bad result.

do you expect to see because we are easing everything the case numbers are going to go up, and is up alarm you, or you just into hospitalization and depths as this point is the metric we should be following? reporter: that is the most important, hospitalizations and deaths, but i can't ignore rising case numbers, nor can anyone paying attention, because we still have long covid, people catching covid and spinning it to someone else or may not have the protection come and here's the issue, we see those case numbers that are probably, they are undercounting what is happening out there. if you look at wastewater surveillance and take into account the people are testing at home people are getting tested, and larry, there are way more events like gridiron that are happening on a smaller scale and spreading it in the community, so people have to pay attention to numbers and realize we are in a better place and we were two years ago and people have not been vaccinated yet, would you waiting for? larry: i don't know. i don't know what they're waiting for. i hope they take your advice. i want to finish on an up note.

it is great to see you. bring your lovely daughter back in anytime. mike: if she was not napping she would be like, i need to see uncle larry. larry: awesome. awesome. thank you for coming in. liz: ok, an unusual exhibit on the san jose state campus has students talking. students talking. that is exactly students talking. that is exactly at jp morgan, the only definition of wealth that matters is yours. it can be a smaller house, but a bigger nest egg. a goal to work toward, or the freedom to walk away. with 200 years of experience, personalized advice, and commission free trades on an award-winning app, we are working for you. planning. investing. advice. jp morgan wealth management. entresto is the number one heart failure brand prescribed by cardiologists and has helped over one million people. it was proven superior at helping people stay alive

liz: the mayor of richmond is

introducing a way to tackle homelessness crisis, paying one year of rent for those transitioning from homelessness. our reporter spoke with a mom who is single and is benefiting from this initiative. hi. mike: that's right. he said he will not wait on the city council. he is using funding he raised as part of the mayor's fund and is asking small business owners to raise money to house as many families as possible. one of those families is a single mom and her 13-year-old. she welcomed us into her home today. hi. >> hi. reporter: this is your home? >> yeah. reporter: that word carries a deep meaning for her. she was homeless for six years, after being evicted for falling $200 short on rent. >> three days later, the sheriff came up to me and all my kids,

and that's how my homelessness started. reporter: she tried to find housing for five years, but her income was not enough or any landlord to approve her. one of her friends gifted her in rv. >> i was just stuck. i don't wish homelessness on nobody. reporter: a month ago that changed when she got the keys to this apartment. >>om back, i stick in -- , i get the same feeling, overwhelmed. reporter: the group behind helping her is the mayor of richmond and the rotary club. two months ago, they took matters into their own hands and tackled the homeless crisis

differently, getting single moms like her out of the rv park and paying one year of rent. >> he spent $1.5 million servicing two rv camps. they could have put 100 people in our apartment for one year without money. so we partnered with the rotary club. we are taking people out of these rv camps. reporter: he says the biggest challenge is getting landlords to agree. >> we need landlords who will take a leap of faith and take one year of rent in advance and agree to house a previously homeless person. reporter: she still has the rv, but is thinking about paying it forward. >> not sell, not rent, but give it to somebody. i want to pick somebody. [laughter] reporter: love to meeting her. she said there are at least 10 families waiting at the rv park for a home. this is not a city-run program. this is an initiative from the

mayor himself. he set up a gofundme that you can donate to. he believes this is the best approach to end homelessness and is urging cities to reallocate funding and find housing for families without money. another asked for the program is families get resources to find jobs. liz: thanks. larry: yeah. you can see the emotion. so happy. again. funding for bay area transit agencies to help make your commute smoother. a senator was in san francisco today announcing $386 million in american rescue funding for the san francisco municipal transit agency and bart. >> this funding will help stations keep up with the return of workers and visitors to trains and buses. >> the bipartisan infrastructure law is really a once in a generation investment that will support projects and it will modernize and it will be a revitalization of transit for

years and years to come. larry: to date, the american rescue plan has provided 1.6 billion dollars to support operations during covid and keep transit projects on track. liz: heartbreaking powerful exhibit making its way to san jose state today to bring awareness to suicide. larry: the visual display had the entire campus talking. that is exactly what those behind it wanted. i reporter has the story. reporter: 1000 backpacks took over this afternoon, each with the story of a suicide survivor or someone who lost her life to suicide. the exhibit is called send silence packing. >> you have some by parents, teachers, the child, friends, and it is really sad to read, but good to see it and understand it and raise awareness about it. >> the whole purpose about the

event is to get people talking about suicide and open opportunities for people to get comfortable talking about suicide and appoint people does point people towards mental health resources. >> it is the national nonprofit who brought the exhibit out. they say suicide is the second leading cause of death by college students, and that many students with anxiety or depression do not seek treatment. >> the sigma -- stigma is still out there, so it is important for everyone to be able to feel comfortable talking about mental health and to seek help. reporter: experts say the last two years have brought added challenges. suicide among students has been around a lot longer. >> it has to been going on for a long time, this issue going on, so by doing these types of events, we are bringing more awareness to it. reporter: those who interacted with the exhibit save these stories are tragic, but the message is lasting. >> it is powerful. seeing it visually puts it into perspective and it hits harder than just reading about it. reporter: the tour is making stops throughout the country in

california. thursday, mission college in santa clara, and will be back in san jose state next year. liz: and if you or someone you love is in crisis coming you can find organizations that offer help and hope by going to abc7news.com/take action. click this is elodia. she's a recording artist. 1 of 10 million people that comcast has connected to affordable internet in the last 10 years. and this is emmanuel, a future recording artist, and one of the millions of students we're connecting throughout the next 10. through projectup, comcast is committing $1 billion so millions more students, past... and present, can continue to get the tools they need to build a future of unlimited possibilities.
