6:01 pm
talked to dozens of parents this afternoon many of them as you can imagine filled with just fear and anxiety over what happened over what could have happened to their children to their grandchildren to their loved ones. i spoke to one man in particular and i want you guys to listen to some of what he had to say to us. so i come at this time normally to pick up my daughter and the streets were closed off and the police said they're gonna bring my just gonna cart everybody down the street and i just knew that was in the case. i heard about the shooting at the high school and my daughter goes to elementary school. so i'd have to figure out a way to come and grab her. did you have any fears any thoughts running through your mind? obviously your daughter. she's so young. hey, you're anxious. i mean you hear about this happening all the time. i knew it was a high school. so there was likely no issue with my daughter, but this is the closest it's ever got to home. so it's a it's a surreal feeling and you start to feel panic. you're like i just want to get to my daughter streets are closed off park at the bottom of the hill walked up, you know, just got to do what you got to
6:02 pm
do to put your your eyes on your child and then go from there. i know obviously your daughter amara. she said she's just four years old. she might not really be cognizant of what's going on. how was she when you picked her up. did she seem unless clueless fortunately clueless. she just happy to see her dad and not even curious has to sort of why are we doing a different routine today? she hasn't hasn't connected yet, which is which is good. we'll probably just keep it that way and i know sir you say that this is something that happens. unfortunately a lot not just here in the bay area, but around our country as a parent. is it something that you worry about especially now that has hit a little bit closer to home it is i have four other children that go to another school and last year. we started to thinking through and talking to the school about what's your what's the what's the protocol when a school shooting happens? and do they have policies in place wasn't quite as tight as we'd like my daughter just started to go into this school local academy. ago, so we're not abreast of what the protocol is on a shooting seems like they handed it well today, but it's now, you
6:03 pm
know top of mind. now the oakland unified school district did tell us that there was a little bit of delay in their system letting parents know that something was going on. however, they tell us that that is solely because they were busy making sure that everyone in the school site was safe and that the building was secure i'm live in oakland tim johns abc 7 news. all right, tim. thank you. and certainly this is left many people shaken abc 7 news reporter liam. melendez has been talking to parents and other community members there at a nearby church where the parents and kids have been reunifying together leanne. i know you've seen some powerful reaction to what's happened today. yeah, you know liz and this is their reality teachers and staff are trained to escort their students when there is an active shooter involved and this is exactly what happened today. you know, they did it in an orderly fashion. the school is about the campus
6:04 pm
is about half a mile away from here and you know, this was where parents were told come and pick your students keller and mountain the intersection. it was very busy for what for a long time. and especially when we arrived and when we first got here, you know the teachers and staff were very concerned because they asked us please give the students a little bit of space and and absolutely we understand that and we also understand that the teachers and the staff and the principles also needed their own. to at what? we are experiencing too often here with children taking violence as their measure of addressing their issues is it's not healthy and it has not served our children. well, we've not given enough to really invest in them with the
6:05 pm
love and the support and the programs and the initiatives that are really needed particularly in this part of our community. we've just invested in them and so children are taking matters into their own hand how these students believe that they were going to resolve conflict by walking on to campus with guns and shooting students and others in the midst of this. and he lost me for a moment there, but i'm back again. that was the city council member for this district, and she was saying again, there are so many unanswered questions. for example, how do you explain you know how this happens the person did enter or several people. they don't know whether or not they went penetrated the school. they know that they were on campus. was it one person? what was you know, what was what what are the answers at this moment? so a lot of unanswered questions, but that person that's it council person was in contact with police all

with a qualifying bundle. up suicide prevention month the child mine institute is encouraging parents to have important and potent. life-saving conversations with their kids as youth mental health struggles continue to rise in this country abc 7 news reporter dustin dorsey spoke with an expert who explained the benefits a safety plan can have
6:18 pm
on a child when times are tough. september may be suicide prevention month, but the awareness we raise in these 30 days carries on all year long experts say breaking down the stigma of mental health makes a difference. i think there's a little bit of a myth or a fallacy out there that actually talking about suicide and suicidal thoughts can put those ideas especially in teenagers and kids heads when they weren't already there and there's no research supports supporting that that is true. in fact, dr. joanna stern with the child. mind institute says it legitimizes their feelings and gives them a place to talk about them and when those conversations happen the child mind institute encourages parents to create a safety plan with their kids to mitigate risk of suicidal behaviors. the plan is an agreement between the family to understand what kind of thoughts kids are having and discourage ways in which they can act on those thoughts and their environment. we really want to put as many barriers as we can. between them having the thought
6:19 pm
or the urge and them being able to act on it an example of that dr. stern gave me was a child who tells their parents that they have thoughts of taking pills as a way of suicide the agreement for the parents and the child would focus on removing the ability for that to happen. one of the things that goes into the safety plan is i agree to let my parents lock up all of the medication in our home. and i agree to let my parents take apple pay off of my phone so that i don't have access to go into a store and purchase pills and these are really short-term things that we put in place the long-term part of the plan is creating a safe network of family and friends who could distract kids from depressive thoughts or be there as an open sounding board when times are tough like it has been recently for kids dr. stern says these actions taken from a conversation seems simple, but proactivity is key to circumventing tragedy and it can save lives in san jose dustin dorsey abc 7 news. and we have a link to that child safety plan on our website abc 7
6:20 pm
news com slash take action if you or someone, you know could use an ally when it comes to mental health. that is what you're going to find a lot of other local resources by going to that page and for urgent matters, you can call the national suicide in crisis dialing 988. well, did you feel it a lot of people in the south bay may have felt an earthquake this morning it hit just after 10 am and according to the us geological survey at measured 3.4 and the epicenter is northeast of the alum rock area actually in alameda county. we have not heard of any reports of damage or injuries, and we wouldn't expect it with a quake of that relatively small magnitude. absolutely now our weather here's been pretty nice. but of course we're thinking about everything going on in florida. yeah this massive storm. hurricane ian. that's swept across just raked across florida today meteorologist. sandy patel is tracking as it continues san diego to move across the state. that's right, dan and liz it is moving inland right now. it has weakened from a category 4 when it made landfall earlier

this afternoon near caio, costa florida as a category 4 storm. so let's take a look at live doppler 7 right now you can see some heavy bands of rain moving across the central portion of the state tornado watch boxes on the eastern side. they've already had reports of tornadoes. look at the eye on the storm as it made landfall is now a category 2 wind gusts of 180 miles an hour. the biggest concern is it's moving to the north northeast at 8 miles an hour so slow so by tomorrow morning, it will weaken further to a cat one then a tropical storm as it approaches daytona beach eventually moving out over the warm waters of the atlantic ocean and curving back towards the carolinas over the weekend the slow nature of the storm means that the inundation they're dealing with is going to continue storm surge of 12 to 18 feet rainfall totals. i mean in areas up to 30 inches and you know that that is going to mean devastation and flooding
6:22 pm
for days. it's already causing catastrophic damage numerous warnings and watches are in effect right now storm reports from across the region there have been almost two dozen that includes not only flooding but also wind damage and rip currents as well. our picture omar tower cameras, so nice in comparison we have what looks to be a summertime pattern. you see the fog from our tower cameras. also some higher clouds as we are seeing a system passing to our north breezy evening foggy areas overnight warmer weather the next two days and we're looking at cooler weather what temperatures below average for the weekend. here's the trough that kept the breezy conditions going today kept our temperatures below where they should be for this time of year and you will notice that the winds are on shore 24 miles an hour at sfo right now, which is giving you the nice fresh feeling temperatures in the 60s to 80s at this hour as we go hour by hour fog tomorrow morning will be pretty much right around the coast in the bay and maybe dense. so watch out if you are
6:23 pm
commuting in the morning and then in the afternoon, most of you will see sunshine your morning numbers will range from the upper 40s to the upper 50s afternoon highs upper 60s to the upper 80s. it's a mild to warm thursday and we'll turn up the heat on friday autumn warmth with low 90s inland. 60s coast side but you know we always have something for everyone. how about some drizzle saturday morning temperatures drop off over the weekend coming down below average. once again mid-60s co-side low to mid 80s inland and then a slight rebound before those temperatures come right back down. again. this is really a nice time of year. it is gorgeous. yeah. daniel is all right controversy is brewing in daily city. what happened between two council members at a meeting that has one of them getting police involved

6:25 pm
to pump blood to the body. and just imagine where a healthier heart could take you. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren, or if you've had angioedema with an ace or arb. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high blood potassium. ask your doctor about entresto for heart failure. entrust you heart to entresto. california, ask your doctor about entresto for heart failure. mountains, oceans, natural wonders, diverse and creative people. but when the out-of-state corporations behind prop 27 look at california, they see nothing but suckers. they wrote prop 27 to give themselves 90% of the profits from online sports betting in california. other states get much more. why is prop 27 such a suckers deal for california?
6:26 pm
because the corporations didn't write it for us. they wrote it for themselves.

hanging down not breathing. i was just on the floor plane erica and her partner had no idea the consumer product safety commission had been investigating a series of deaths into rock and play cpsc is legally barred from warning the public about product dangers without first getting consent from the companies rock and play was recalled in 2019 eight months after emma died if i had known about the dangers of the fisher-price rack in place sleeper even minutes before emma was placed in it. i would still have my daughter today rock and play had been linked to more than 30 infant deaths since 2009, but after the recall, the rock can play was blamed for even more infant deaths absolutely shocking lawmakers come in to tell him fisher price last summer to hear we're fisher-price acknowledged the death toll had triple how many children have died totally? in this toy or whatever today we are aware of approximately. believe it is the numbers

6:36 pm
product an incline baby sheet called infant to toddler rocker. however, the rocker was not recalled. it's still on store shelves the morning for the rocker says it should never be used for sleep, but it does not say how or why the baby's died cpsc said it learned of the 13 deaths in march, but the consumer product safety act prohibits the cpsc from releasing information or warning about any specific product without consent from the company. hello known as the gag rule. so cpsc negotiated with fisher price for nearly three months over terms of the warning before it was issued in june a delay the troubled one commissioner because if there's any delay in a child buys in that period because we weren't able to tell the public it's beyond tragic, but erica says she free to warn parents you have a chance. i wish that i have that chance. congress has been taking action a new law just took effect and
6:37 pm
out bans all inclined may be sleepers like the rock and play and a bill in congress would repeal the so-called gag rule now if it passes of cpsc would be able to warn us about dangerous products. it seems like a simple fix to some of these hidden dangers, but will it pass? i'll keep track and i will report back. now i want to hear from you. send us your stories about buying a home a car paying off a loan anything that has to do with you and your family's money. we want to hear about both your triumphs and frustrations go to abc7news.com slash seven on your side to share those stories. all you, michael. sure. all right. we're following more breaking news tonight powerful hurricane en made landfall today in florida. it's now churning across the state it rapidly intensified with maximum sustained winds reaching 155 miles per hour abc news reporter morgan norwood is in tampa, which is just north of where the eye crashed ashore.

lower. longer. researchers are working to understand a change in behavior by great white sharks. that could have really a profound effect on our coastline abc 7 meteorologist spencer christian takes a deeper dive into their changing patterns. but right now we've seen about 10 of these what lee appears to be juvenile white sharks in the area for a young growing sharks the sandy beaches of southern california often act as juvenile nurseries. that's the scientific term for areas where they can feed and congregate before they develop into fully grown hunters offering beach-goers and researchers and up close opportunity to look at how they interact and behave around people and that's primarily for
6:44 pm
juveniles up to maybe nine feet long now professor chris lowe and his team at cal state long beach are studying an apparent nursery much closer to the bay area as we first reported earlier this year low and research is at the monterey bay aquarium are trying to understand what's drawing an increasing number of young juveniles hundreds of miles north to the waters off monterey bay. so what are the sharks doing close to the shoreline? how long are they going to be there? how close might they get to people what depths do they prefer those sorts questions and of course want to know is when it gets cold up there in the winter. where do they go researchers believe climate change may be a partial driver and a number of so-called marine heat waves popularly known as ocean blobs may also play a role in the warming waters, but the migration seems to have continued in cooler cycles and keep in mind the ocean is a complicated place and researchers say we still don't fully understand the many overlapping factors or their exact effect on marine life
6:45 pm
