coming from the community. thanks for joining us. i'm larry beil. kristen: i'm kristen sze. we just heard from the fbi and u.s. attorney handling the case. there is a multiple -- there are multiple allegations and we got more details as to what led to teddy's raids. reporter: -- >> they conspired to reap the financial benefits of college degrees without putting in the work or obtaining the knowledge that comes from real educational achievement. the alleged crimes include the improper deployment of a canine as well as weapons in order to harm individuals in and around antioch. the indictment describes how defendants posted about their illegal uses of force in text messages between one another. kristen: this investigation we are told has been going on for roughly two years. larry: abc7 news has been following the story since the beginning. kristen: we have reaction

to the fbi indictments. reporter: good afternoon. this ends an 18 investigation into both the antioch and pittsburgh police department. many of the community activists we spoke to say some of these problems go back decades. they hope now, they will have real accountability. >> today finally, we believe there's going to be some accountability. we are only hoping for the best in these situations. reporter: devon williams says he remains skeptical. >> when we look at history, it has not played out in the favor of the public. a lot of crimes committed by officers are not seen as crimes in the eyes of the law sometimes. reporter: thursday morning, the fbi raided the homes of the officers involved in an 18 month long investigation on a wide

range of charges, including criminal conspiracy and moral turpitude. investigation also exposed the massive racist texting scandal at the antioch police department. >> the arresting officers felt it would -- it was necessary to call that officer out presumably from his house and use a flash bang. that means they had a sense that there was real danger in arresting him. reporter: the civil rights attorney filed federal lawsuits against the antioch police department that arose out of the racist texting scandal. he says it's about time charges are finally being brought forth. >> i don't see the feds making a splash this big, unless they had something big to prosecute. so, like i said, i think to me the wire fraud charges are very interesting because that means there are transactions that happen here. and those are provable. reporter: a longtime committee organizer has had run-ins with officers both who were part of

the fbi investigation. she was also directly targeted in the texting scandal. she is hoping for real accountability. >> i believe, once changes are made, then the community can start healing and we can start building a police department that the city of antioch desperately needs. >> i think today should give us some hope that the people who are supposed to uphold the law, that when they break the law, they don't just get to escape free. reporter: the vice mayor says the community should be encouraged their efforts to fight for change were not ignored. >> today is a representation to those who have been fighting for reform and ignored by city leaders for decades. that their fight and their voices didn't go on her. -- go unheard. reporter: happening ton at the antioch police department at 6 p.m., they are holding us ebola tory rally -- holding a

celebratory rally. we were sent to the police apartment and lawyers representing the officers, no one returned our request for comment. anser hassan, abc7 news. kristen: the slate of issues date back to march of last year when authorities began investigating what they labeled crimes of moral turpitude against both the antioch and pittsburgh police departments. five months later, prosecutors convened a federal grand jury to consider possible indictments. in march, the department placed eight officers on leave for allegedly sending offensive text messages to each other. in may, the california attorney general announced the civil rights investigation into the department. larry: in the south the san jose police officer who was shot while respondinto a family disturbance call yesterday remains in critical condion. she was rushed to the hospital after the soting yesterday. abc7 news spoke with ne today and has the latest. reporter: crews, working to

repair this broken gate. a less remaining sign of the intense policing the area saw a day before. >> i saw them knock down the gate. it wouldn't stay open for them. nobody knew how to keep it open. reporter: he says he lives a couple of doors down from the home police surround her during a four hour standoff with the suspect. >> they came upstairs, knocked on her house, saying we have to escort you out. we were sandwiched between two police officers. reporter: they were initially called to the home for a family disturbance before 8 a.m. wednesday morning, she said her husband was drunk and tried to hit her. the officers were ambushed before arriving to the complex. neighbors were forced to evacuate or kept outside the wide police perimeter. >> i was out for hours. but that is ok. i understand. reporter: police released this update saying the suspect remains in critical but stable

condition after the shooting. she says it was a fast response that led to her survival. >> without hesitation or consideration for himself, the officer's partner extracted the victim officer from the line of fire. >> that is the brother of assembly member kevin love. >> how is he doing? >> he's physically doing well. i know he is still very tense and replaying in his mind what transpired. reporter: as more news is awaited, he says the tragic situation is a wake-up call. >> it's a reminder of the heroism we see each and every day. reporter: neighbors say they are still trying to come to terms with the news. >> we talked about it with all of our neighbors. it's definitely -- i don't know. i haven't really processed it. reporter: the suspect is expected in court friday. kristen: san jose police are

looking for the person who stabbed to students at a high school today. nearly a dozen patrol cars responded to the campus on north white road around 11:30 a.m. police say both victims were transported to the hospital. each had at least one stab wound. police placed the school on lockdown for about one hour. we spotted several students leaving campus around 12:30 p.m. larry: firefighters are on the scene of a building fire in vallejo, reported at a commercial site in the area of sonoma boulevard and redwood street. sky7, overhead, as firefighters did some mop up work. the fire is contained as you can see, they are continuing to spread water on cars and whatever's left of the buildings. kristen: another issue coming out of the oakland city clerk's office. the wrong boundaries have been used to prepare for the upcoming special election for an oakland unified school board state. larry: they say that has

resulted in no eligible candidates. abc7 news has the latest. reporter: he was first to report a special election for the vacant district 5 oakland unified school board seat is now in limbo after the wrong district boundaries were used. she had planned for november ballots to go to voters in a new district created in the city's redistricting. >> there's an attorney general opinion and another city that clarifies when there's redistricting and a special election, the oldest -- the old district applies until then new election happens. reporter: now the registrar of voters says both candidate addresses fall within the old boundaries but they did not gather enough qualified signatures within the old boundaries. so under the old boundaries, no candidates have qualified. there waiting direction from oakland because the filing deadline has passed --

they are awaiting direction from oakland because the filing deadline has passed. >> there should be a compensation made either to allow less than the required 50 or to grant some sort of expansion. reporter: one of the candidates issued a statement saying, we plan to take on necessary action to protect democracy and ensure that the people's voice is heard. we have already met with an attorney and have full confidence that we will be on the ballot. the school board president is no stranger to these issues. after a vote counting mistake by the registrar's office last november. >> what we need more than anything else is a quick, calm resolution. reporter: a former candidate for mayor in oakland has also dealt with mistakes made by the city clerk's office, when they gave all mayoral candidates the wrong deadline to turn in their signatures almost exactly one year ago, temporarily disqualifying her from the ballot for two weeks. >> to hear that now there is even more issues with running

this one election this year, the one election that our city has to administer, it is -- disappointing is not even the word. there are many potential failures to look from others mistakes. reporter: they hope to have a plan on how to proceed by the end of the day thursday. larry: significant weather news, california could see its first hurricane and more than 80 years. hurricane hilary appears to be on a direct path to the state, but we are not going to see many impacts in the bay area. dustin dorsey has more on what we can expect. reporter: this past winter, california had many days that looked and felt like we were in the middle of a tropical storm or hurricane. but this weekend, hurricane hilary's about to show us what it's actually like. >> hurricanes in the eastern pacific are not rare at all. this is pretty typical in that regard, especially since we are in an el niño

season. the pacific tends to be very active. the uniqueness is the track towards southern california. reporter: abc7 news meteorologists forecast it will likely weaken to a tropical storm and make landfall along the southern california coastline. you don't often hear them hitting on the west coast, right? meteorologist: this would be the first. potential tropical system to make landfall in california and more than 80 years -- and more than 80 years or so. it is a pretty rare event. reporter: he says the biggest rainfall will be rainfall in southern california. some areas that only average five inches of rain per year could suffer serious flooding. how much rainfall depends on how strong hilary is when she makes landfall.

>> it is very close to the baja peninsula. it could weaken a little bit more than we currently anticipate. if it moves a little bit more offshore and sort of is more of a glancing blow for the baja peninsula, then it might not we can quite as much. reporter: what might this all mean for the bay area? northern california should avoid rain from the storm. but if you thought it was sticky and humid recently? >> we will notice monday and tuesday the humidity is back up again, tropical clouds overhead. reporter: but storms like this change quickly. kristen: because they change quickly, we want to check in with meteorologist sandhya patel with the latest on his early -- on hilary. meteorologist: you can see a very well-defined eye on this hurricane. it is currently a category two storm. as we will notice, it rapidly

intensifies over the warm waters packing winds of 110 mph, expected to become a category 4 storm late tonight into early saturday and then weaken as it interacts with baja peninsula, the california peninsula. we are expecting heavy rain and large swells across the region. as it continues to move into southern california as a tropical storm, eventually weakening and making that right hand turn, most of the computer models are keeping the majority of the rain into southern california and the sierra. by monday, the central coast is under the potential of a marginal risk of excessive rain. take a look at this computer model. we are on that periphery. for the time being, we are not completely out of the woods. and keeping in the possibility of showers as we head towards monday. all of this rain is going to lead to flooding potential across the southwestern u.s. as they get rainfall -- annual rainfall in a matter of days. this area of low pressure is

going to linger, which is what's going to pull in some of that moisture. larry: thank you. really unusual conditions. you can track hurricane hilary. we have a hurricane tracker on abc7news.com. you can see the strength as well as the impact expected here in the bay area. all you have to do is go to abc7news.com. still more to come -- a renewed effort on rubble taxis -- robo taxis in san francisco. and the new plan that could help some californians save some money. and the new look for ♪ non-drowsy claritin knocks out symptoms from over 200 allergens. without knocking you out. feel the clarity and make today the most wonderful time of the year. live claritin clear.

kristen: san francisco officials california are calling on california regulators -- san francisco officials are calling on regulators bumping the brakes on robotech phase. there is significant unity in the city behind this effort. reporter: san francisco wants state regulators to pump the brakes on its recent approval of service expansion, quoting the city may suffer "serious harm." >> san francisco is an experimental lab for this industry and we think it is critical for them to work with the city to make sure that

residents are safe and not interfering with first responders, traffic flow, public transit, etc. reporter: his motions come less than a week after the cpuc voted to let the company's charge for driverless rides around the clock. waymo will start charging for rides next monday. cruise is already accepting fares. >> we are not asking to get rid of all automated vehicles on the streets of san francisco. with this motion, we are asking them to really preserve current policy, while we are seeking a rehearing. reporter: according to the motions filed wednesday, part of the argument is the commission failed to consider environmental impacts robo taxis would have on the city under the state's environmental quality act. he says data on dangerous incidents have also been inadequate. in a response to filings, a cruise spokesperson told us in part it is unfortunate to use public resources to bypass that decision and restricted technology with an excellent safety record used by tens of

thousands of sf residents. amanda del castillo, abc7 news. larry: oakland-based blue shield is unveiling a new model that hopes will provide more affordable pharmacy care. the pharmacy care reimagined initiative is expected to bring prescription prices down and improve the transparency of costs. the president and ceo of blue shield of california joins me know via zoom. thanks so much for your time. tell us more about the program. you parted ways with cbs, how is this going to help you save money? >> the currently pharmacy system is massively expensive and designed to maximize profits of the participants as opposed to improving the convenience, quality and cost-effectiveness for consumers. we have partnered with like-minded partners and started from scratch in trying to reinvent the pharmacy system so that it is simpler, more transparent, and far more affordable. larry: who are those partners? >> they include amazon, for

things like home delivery. mark cuban, who has developed a pharmacy effort. narca, and advanced claims systems -- barca, an advanced claims system. larry: i want to talk more about what mark cuban has done. when he first unveiled his site, it kind of flipped everything on its side. their prices are well below what we are used to paying in many cases. >> yes it's been really clear from what he's done in that company that there's a strong philosophical line for what we are trying to do, we see pharmaceuticals as trying to improve the quality of health and improving access to drugs in a cost effective way as a to seeing it as a profit center which is largely how it's treated today. larry: specifically, who will this program help and does everybody qualify or are there some restrictions? >> ultimately, every blue shield

member that gets pharmacy members from us will have access to this benefit. . that won't happen until january 1, 2025, we have to do some piloting with smaller populations in 2024. but ultimately everybody who was a blue shield member does. we expect to save $500 million per year when this is fully implement the. that will show up in lower premiums and people who have benefit designs with their co-pays tied to the price of a drug, they will see lower co-pays when they go to the pharmacy. larry: i know there's been a lot of focus on insulin prices. those have come down dramatically. are there other drugs off the top of your head that people go, i take that, i take that, i need this program? >> a great example of why we are making this shift is a prostate cancer drug that it's generic that costs on average $3000 a month today. we manage to negotiate a price of $160. but it took us five months to get our current pharmacy benefit

manager to actually offer that drug up. currently, nationally, 90% of the fulfilled prescriptions for that drug around the $3000 number instead of the $160 number even though they are the exact same generic compound. that would be another example of a drug that's going to be a lot less expensive. larry: that's part of the problem everybody's been faced with for so many years. it appears to be changing. thanks so much. best of luck with the program. >> thank you. appreciate it. kristen: bringing tourists back to san francisco. the meeting underway right now to try to help. larry: and the unusualpolice pursuit involving a bay area speedway.
