6:04 pm
repair the injuries that needed to be repaired and that child is now in route to the university of chicago by helicopter. doctors at highland park hospital say 19 patients have been treated and discharged as you can imagine today's shooting sparked outrage, including a personal reaction from illinois. senator. tammy duckworth who is a wounded combat veteran. the last time i heard a weapon with that capacity firing that rapidly on a fourth of july was iraq? it was not the united states of america. i'm furious because it does not have to be this way. and yet we as a nation. well we continue to allow this to happen. each day, we're reminded. is nothing guaranteed about our democracy? nothing guaranteed about our way of life. we have been live streaming coverage of the shooting for hours today. you can always get the latest breaking news on our 24/7 stream on the abc 7 bay area mobile and
6:05 pm
streaming tv apps the shooting outside chicago weighed heavily on many mines here in the bay area as people gathered for their own fourth of july celebrations in sausalito the city held its parade for the first time since 2019, but the mood shifted as word of the mass shooting quickly spread, so the mood went from celebration to concern this is is horrible this is not the time. it's absolutely i mean people are trying to celebrate what this country represents just just saw the another tragedy and you wonder when we'll wake up. sausalito is planning to hold its fireworks show tonight. there's no word whether there's been any change to security there antioch did increase security for its all day fourth of july celebration. they heldir parade there this morning. it was also a all that's going on all day the city had already been working on safety for the holiday due to problems in the past, especially with illegal fireworks and shootings. that's not unique to antioch.
6:06 pm
that's just throughout the country. you see an increase in gun violence level 4th of july because people sometimes just don't know how to act there's a lot of cops here. so, those are right right now it's on my mind, but the thing is i don't to live in fear. at least 40 officers are on patrol today in antioch in the city is also going to use drones to try to identify and catch people antiox festivities still going on at this hour. they will culminate at 9:30 tonight with a fireworks show and in a little more than three hours the sky over san francisco will be illuminated in celebration of the fourth of july. it'll be one of the biggest fireworks shows in the country and the people behind it have been working on it for four months thousands of shells will go off to soft music we conceive of the designs of what scenes we want to put into the sky based on what the music playing what touches our hearts then we put that into the sky and fireworks. the 22 minute show is set to start at 9:30 tonight.
6:07 pm
which brings us to what everybody wants to know larry. yes spencer christian spencer. people are wondering are they going to see fireworks clouds or as you described earlier colorful clothes all that we might very well see colorful clouds in san francisco, but if you're one of inland locations your viewing conditions will likely be much better. here's a look at the forecast animation. you can see the clouds are already pushing up against the coastline between now and 9 pm or 9:30. we'll see an increase in those low clouds not so much high clouds we're concerned about because the high causal bit of elevation of about altitude of about 2,000 feet. most of the fireworks will be below that but the low clouds here in san francisco could certainly obscure your view. meanwhile as i mentioned viewing conditions in the inland area should be pretty good and the weather would be mild temperatures are going to be mainly in the mid 60s even in san francisco around 63 degrees so we won't have to bundle up in the july chill as we often do but once again, i'm sorry to say the the sky conditions here in san francisco may not be at their peak. let's put it that way.
6:08 pm
all right, not the best news, but we'll take what we can get spencer. thank you. still to come tonight. we have put today's 4th of july into perspective even before the deadly shooting some felt like this was not a day to celebrate also ahead. got my own shower. that's huge didn't have that before had to share that with 20 30 people sometime. tonight that man's story about getting off the streets of san francisco's tenderloin part of our special series 50 blocks. i'm michael phinney with a 401k lost and found. i'm hoping to put some money in your pocket tonight seven on your side is next. and before we head to the break want to get to some breaking news coming to the newsroom from san francisco. this is in the twin peaks area. this is twin peaks boulevard and panorama drive. you can see there clearly. it is cloudy. there is smoke coming from a hill at fire is just about two acres the good news. san francisco firefighters they say they are close to full containment. we will keep an eye out for this

6:12 pm
years. there is nothing. more american than a fourth of july parade. alameda has one of the most colorful and diverse celebrations for some here as the nation celebrates its independence. there's a feeling of gratitude but at the same time anger following the supreme court's decision to overturn roe versus wade, we feel like it's all about freedoms freedom of speech the ability to have independent rights, and that's that's part of it for us. so it's nothing about taking away. it's actually celebrating and fighting today during the parade the newly formed committee for abortion rights in alameda handed out information on how to join their group the vast majority receptive. martinez also in the east bay had a fourth of july parade while some brought their signs to express how they continue to feel about the ruling the event
6:13 pm
was organized by 18 year old dream. is among those expressing their thoughts was anna marie avila farias with the contra costa county board of education last week. she called for a july 4th boycott on facebook. some other people are calling for your resignation. one person said stop teaching kids to hate america. i serve on a county board of education. i have nothing to do with curriculum. i set policy and it's quite an accurate the fact that we want to stand up for. human rights and civil liberties is the most american thing to be doing many. more fingers writing. happy independence day from me and my reproduction rights diane alexander of alameda believes. the right to choose should be celebrated every day in america fourth of july is just one out of the 365 days of the year and what better way because our
6:14 pm
forefathers not have agreed that we should take our rights away leanne melendez abc 7 news. all right. let's look at the positive is when it comes to the weather larry. it's going to be a little bit warmer. he's right. no spencer has a lot more. well a little bit more because right now we still have mainly bright skies over the bay area. so maybe the clouds will be a little bit slow to move on shore. here's a look at what's happening with the wind right now. surface winds are well that rather brisket not very gusty but up to about 20 22 miles per hour in many locations and it is warmer as deon pointed out in virtually every location right now then at this time yesterday 11 degrees. warmer, in fact in san francisco 90 degrees warmer in oakland. however, the clouds may present a problem for viewing fireworks today. here's a look over san francisco, right? from sutro tower you can see some thin clouds moving out over the bay at the moment. that's no problem to be
6:15 pm
concerned about 68 degrees in san francisco 72 in oakland. we've got mid-70s and mountain view, san jose santa clara and 64 at half moon bay now, here's the view from emeryville looking northward. you can see lots of mid-level clouds and high clouds low clouds having spilled out over the bay yet 70 degrees right now in santa rosa petaluma 78 in napa 73 82 at fairfield and upper 70 is a concord and here's the view from our rooftop. we're showing lots of that blue sky i was talking about earlier. these are our forecast headlines coastal fog will be present for tonight's fireworks low clouds fog and patchy drizzle will develop overnight. there may be a few damp spots for the morning commute and a warmer pattern and a dryer one less humid one will begin later in the week. now, let's talk about the fireworks forecast once more at 9:30 tonight. we expect quite a bit of low cloudiness near the coast. that means pushing out over san francisco as well. so the view conditions here in the city may not be optimum but in inland locations, it'll be clearer and it'll be mild just by everywhere with temperature readings in the mid to upper 60s then during the overnight hours.
6:16 pm
we'll see the clouds advance across the bay and push well inland maybe some drizzle not only near the coast but in some inland areas as well, but we'll get mainly sunny skies by late afternoon tomorrow overnight lows will be generally in the upper 50s to low 60s. so relatively mild and a bit more humid than it typically is here in the bay area this time of the year highs tomorrow low 60s at the coast low to mid 70s around the bay shoreline. and upper 70s to about 80 or 82 degrees in the warmest inland locations and here is the weather 7-day forecast now humid humidity that we have today will ease up a bit on wednesday a warming begins on thursday as inland high is moving to the mid 80s. mid-70s around the bayshore line only low 60s on the coast, but the warming continues through friday and into the weekend and check out these readings on saturday sunday and monday, we expect high temperatures inland to be in the low to mid 90s around the bayshore line upper 70s to about 80 perhaps even above and some mid 60s on the coast. so we have some warming coming our way for sure once again for age of viewing for the fireworks
6:17 pm
inlet areas. sky should be clear enough that you'll get a great view here in san francisco. it's still kind of iffy before the low clouds and fog may just become colorful clouds larry. all right. thank you spencer. 25 million 401k plans have been lost or forgotten is one of them yours 7 on your side's michael phinney is joining us now michael to be clear. we're not talking about all the money that we have lost in our 401ks. this is just the accounts are gone, right? yes. absolutely. it's the accounts themselves 25 million. that's how fifth of all 401k accounts now, it's happening because transferring accounts can be a hassle and finding a lost one all but impossible. when susan calls left her employer. she not only kept track of her 401k. she moved her account. twice my company moved this division. i stayed here when i didn't go with it. so i rolled over the 401k they had for me then she rolled it
6:18 pm
over again the first thing they recommended is to buy $10,000 of apple stock. and that was around 95 95 97 dollars a share. and six four five six years later. i can't remember exactly when but they sold 50 shares at over $600 a piece those rollovers work for susan but not everyone keeps track of their plans new jobs with new responsibilities taking some to new cities larry pond as a cpa in financial planner in redwood shores people forget about the 401ks because it's they don't see it. it's not that obvious to them and a lot of people have multiple. a+ so some get lost. he says old 401k plans can be tough to find and suggests starting by contacting former employers checking an unclaimed property website like unclaimed.org and the us department of labor's abandoned planned search.
6:19 pm
still many plans go unfound. larry says that's being recognized and there's a bipartisan bill in congress. that would put together a clearing house for lost 401k. so what the legislation will do is to centralize it and make it easier because right now it's really difficult and basically they're directing the department of labor in in coordination of the department of treasury to set up this central location for accounts and going even further the synod plan once lost funds to be invested. but for now, larry says you're pretty much on your own. so when changing jobs remember your 401k, so that's why you gotta stay on top of this if you're leaving with your exit checklist right now. it's not on a lot of people's exit checklist when they change jobs is oh, what should i do with my existing retirement plan? should i roll it over to an ira roll over to the new employers retirement plan? great advice there now. i posted links on our website if you want additional information
6:20 pm
bottom line when leaving a job consider taking the 401k with you. you are certain certain larry and dion that you will not forget about the 401k now. i want to hear from you. send me your stories about buying a home a car paying off alone anything they have to do with you and your money. i want to to hear about both yor triumphs and your frustrations to abc 7 news.com. five seven on your to share your stories. dvice. thank you so much. coming up breakthrough infections once rare. it's now much more common to hear of a fully vaccinated person getting covid tonight. why experts still say vaccine work?

here is a snapshot of coronavirus vaccination rates about 70% of the total us population is fully vaccinated more than three-quarters of californians older than the age of five are fully vaccinated of the top 10 counties with the highest vaccination rates the vast majority eight are in the bay area. so breakthrough infections are becoming more common mostly due to covid's ability to mutate into new variants as a result experts from across the country are setting a lower expectation of vaccine efficacy. and as abc 7 news reporter dustin dorsey explains this only highlights the importance of a vaccine 2.0 set to come out in
6:24 pm
the fall. as the bay area celebrates independence day. it's safe to say we all wish we were a nation independent from a pandemic. thankfully there were little impacts the fourth of july celebrations, but ucsf's dr. peter chinhong says covid-19 and the omicron variants are still causing issues within the community infections in the community are very very disruptive. people are seeing whom from work. people are staying home from school people staying home to take care of those soil and that leads a lot of disruptions. growing number of experts across the country including dr. chin hong says part of the reason for this disruption from cases is due to the efficacy of the vaccines once touted as a way to stop covid in its tracks. the omicron variants are evading the vaccines and case rates remain high across the bay area. however, cdc recently said vaccinated people are still around 40 times more likely to survive an infection compared to the unvaccinated and dr. chin hong says vaccines mixed with boosters or even better in preventing severe illness and
6:25 pm
death. i'm thrilled that we're keeping our hospitals pretty much intact not having a flood of people in the hospitals despite so many people getting infected in the old pre vaccine days. i can guarantee you that, you know, we would be really behind the eight ball dr. chin hong says any is better than no booster but troubling new data from the cdc suggests single booster protection against hospitalizations drops from 90% to 66 to 78% by four to five months out that highlights the importance of a second booster for people over 50 according to dr. chin hong and also the need for an updated vaccine. it's another cycle and i think people are getting tired of it rightly. so i mean we need to address that with an updated vaccine that only deals with severe disease but can also hopefully prevent infection even more dr. chin hong says the production of the vaccine is an erase against time as the variants continue to mutate. he says funding for the vaccine 2.0 is held up in congress, but still has hope it will be

6:27 pm
when big tobacco's products were found out to be killers,
6:28 pm
they promised smokers safety. they called it a filter. but this filter wasn't safe or useful, just small and made of microplastics that have endangered us all. for far too long, they have polluted the earth. they're literally everywhere. there's no need to search. big tobacco, you'll have to answer for your despicable ride, for your wake of destruction. your one little big lie.
6:29 pm
for your wake of destruction. better bay area moving forward finding solutions. this is abc 7. housing the homeless tonight we look at what is working more than 1,000 people have been able to find housing in san francisco's tenderloin since the mayor declared an emergency initiative seven months ago, but just how hard is it to house homeless people tonight? we continue our series 50 blocks on the challenges the city faces to clean up the area.
6:30 pm
here our role as the department of homelessness and supportive housing really is to engage people on the street and to help to get them into housing whether it's shelter permanent supportive housing. we have about 9,000 units in permanent supportive housing. we serve about 10,000 people. in those units there's a high concentration of units in the tenderloin south of market in the mission because that tends to be where the sro stock is sros are really unique to san francisco. sro is redesigned often for middle class people and the tendo and they're all built from 1907 to 1930. they were built many of them one bathroom for 10 residents and that worked in the days when half the residents were merchants seaman long drive truckers. they were in the hotel all the time for a long time. the sros stock was really the heart of the successful housing
6:31 pm
in san francisco and then starting in the 60s demand went down and the hotels kind of heart the people who are really coming in are mostly formally homeless. there's a lot of challenges with that population if you have acute mental health needs being in 100 room hotel or is a challenge. we know that a number of people who have experienced homelessness need that extra support in order to remain stably housed could be helping somebody get into treatment. it can be helping with job searches. we have some legacy buildings that are sros that need work. they're very old buildings as we've moved out of covid. we've been looking for buildings that have private bathrooms and sometimes kitchenettes because we know that that's what people really thrive on. i'm moving to the garland. all right. i've been housed at the baldwin
6:32 pm
for the last 10 years, but before that of his homeless. yeah. oh. yeah, i like it. yeah, you have more yes. everybody got more space notice. we're at the garland hotel a beautiful hotel. i call it sro 2.0. it's state-of-the-art single room. i can see hotel. it's got all private baths. these have microwaves and sinks and set up for cooking in their rooms with the electrical outlets. most sros do not have the electrical capability to have any cooking. this is what i most like the best. is my own bathroom, you know. i mean i can soak in the tub. i take my shower anytime. i don't have to wait for nobody or i don't have to worry about it being all nasty and all that and like toilet, you know, that's my own throne. that's why i'm really excited and a lot of people in the building i just came from they're still addicts, you know,
6:33 pm
a lot of them are still addicts and that's both when i came from i look around for needles. people will be in the bathrooms in there. we're moving many tenants from the baldwin hotel on 6th street, which was very small rooms. no private paths in a very tough block. it wasn't working. john was living in a hotel where many of the rooms are under 70 square feet where we have some hotels that have 200 rooms 200 room hotels with very limited private bathrooms is not an ideal situation. and tenants in those hotels often feel like it's not the best environment for them, but they're right, but that's the homeless problem. we have the reality is that it's very expensive to house people correctly. have serious mental health problems legislatures don't want one of these facilities in their district and they don't want to spend the money. thought to like to live here.
6:34 pm
sucks. it's not a good area for one. i'm having problems sleeping at night in that small room. you know, it's like a jail cell. doesn't right here. i've been here. that's my room here. this is my domain. i thought i've never move out of here. just be my diamonds. so the bald one is what i think you would describe. is it typical the rooms are super small. the bathrooms are down the hall. there's no kitchenettes when you compare it to some of the other permanent supportive housing that we have especially the new housing that we're bringing online. that just seems inadequate. a new place the nice big room with the project and microwave and a pigeon reader. nice beard too got a nice view. i'm two windows, i mean fresh air.
6:35 pm
i don't see people everywhere. you know, i understand. it's still in general wayne. it's already been a lot quieter. this is a different environment. so a big step for our baldwin tenants that are coming here. this is our kitchen which i believe the tenants will love they have two eyes. and i also have an oven and a nice big fridge. yes, man. hey john, it's kirsten. how are you? how you doing? good, how you liking your new home? you are yeah getting this set up. yeah, john is the type of tenant. who likes to stay in his room? he has a sweet soul. and he appreciates the simple fact that i asked him. how are you? some people don't give people chances.
6:36 pm
to change their self transitioning from being on the street into a place a lot of people give them hard times. and it's not like their purposely doing it. just don't know any better yet, but everyone makes mistakes. i give people chances. so this is my new apartment. i just got as you can see it's got i have my own kid my own kitchen area now. i didn't have this before i had my own sink and the big one right here my own bathroom. got my own shower. that's huge didn't have that before had to share that with 20 30 people sometime. a lot of people might think it's small but to me, it's home. i'm grateful for it. i'm from a small town and i traveled around a lot and i ended up in seattle fully evicted to heroin, you know, and just that's all i cared about. that's how i originally became
6:37 pm
homeless in the cycle, you know, just chasing drugs i got on methadone in seattle. and it really helped i got off heroin. i was clean. so when i first came out of place to stay for a few months, but ended up on the streets. i lived on the streets in san francisco for six years. san francisco, there's a lot of help but it's still a really hard place to be home with is cold at night? when i was on the streets, i was using most people that are on the streets are using. you asked me about to read my people getting to drugs and i can't tell you that i can tell you reason why people stay in drugs. because it takes you out of the situation you're in. i know what i'm doing next weekend. you probably know what you're doing next weekend. you know what you're doing on christmas. i know what i'm doing on christmas my folks out here. they don't know what they're doing an hour from now. so why clean up? i can't deal with this no more. hmm. i can't deal with this no more room. and at least one of those hours
6:38 pm
while you're intoxicated, you don't have to be who you are. i was so grateful when i got the chance to get off the streets. it was like a dream come true. i just want to just continue to better my life. he's just as a stepping stone. i want to get a job want to continue to stay on the good path. boy to del seymour sum it up perfectly. this is part of a 30 minute streaming special. we put together called 50 blocks stories from the tenderloin download or open up the abc 7 7 bay area streaming tv app to watch the documentary on demand right now and we'll be right back.

the world recently gathered for the united nations oceans conference among them was a stanford researcher. who's to better monitor the seafood we consume here in the bay area abc 7 news meteorologist mike. nico has details. while plenty of marine scientists are tracking the ocean sea creatures alfredo here on nava is tracking the vessels working to harvest them the commercial fishing industry. his goal is to shine a light on the seafood. we may eventually purchase at
6:42 pm
the supermarket one of the things that happens in seafood supply chains. is that as soon as the vessels can get up get out of sight. it's just impossible to know what they are doing to change that here on nava in his collaborators at the stanford center for motion solutions are turning to powerful tools big data and artificial intelligence first it helps to understand that large commercial vessels are often fitted with automatic identification systems. sometimes known as ais that generate information about their location many commercial fishing fleets also voluntarily contribute to databases known as proactive vessel registers that can provide transparency about where they are and what they're catching pairing all that information with satellite and other records begins to paint a picture. okay, once that you have all of that, you know what they are supposed to be doing we have all of these machine learning ai algorithms to say what were they doing at a given point where they fishing where they just
6:43 pm
