ie. -- captions by vitac -- ♪ or bullet casings on a peninsula freeway brings traffic to a halt during the evening commute. and just minutes ago, investigators revealed new information about that shooting. good evening. thanks for joining us. i'm larry beil. that shooting injured a driver and shut down southbound lanes of interstate 280 in burlingame in what investigators tonight say was a case of road rage. sky seven shows the traffic jam on 280 in burlingame . and investigators are looking into this. this was a truesdale drive. drivers were backed up to larkspur drive and lanes were closed for about half an hour,

reopening around 630 this evening. the chp says they think the shooting happened on 280 near the crystal springs off ramp, but they're still working to try to figure out the exact location. the injured driver was able to drive to burlingame. officers spoke about the case about a half an hour ago, saying they have yet to talk to the victim. >> he's at the hospital right now. i'm not sure if he's finished being treated by the medical staff. obviously, the first priority is his well-being. so we want to make sure that he's tended to before we start speaking with him. >> the wounded driver is expected to survive. investigators are still searching for the driver who opened fire in oakland. community groups are coming up with their own proposals to try to improve public safety. abc7 news reporter tim jonze spoke to local leaders and neighbors who say they have had enough. i mean , tim, it seems like never ending shootings. yeah larry, you're absolutely right. >> now one of the biggest organizations speaking out tonight is the oakland branch of the naacp. folks at home might remember several weeks ago, the group called on city leaders to declare a state of emergency

over rising violence. today they released a list of ten points they want to see enacted to make oakland safer. crime is continuing to spike in oakland on monday, a gun battle near lake merritt resulted in one woman getting shot. >> very busy day. lots of people out, lots of lots of shots. obviously no regard for public safety. >> and on tuesday, for were detained and two arrested after gunfire rang out at skyline high school. >> my kids are not coming to school for the rest of this week and if i don't find out what really happened, they won't be here next week either. >> these incidents, just two more examples of soaring crime in the east bay city and growing sense of unease among many of its residents. >> oakland is by many accounts, worse than we have been in a long time. >> lauren taylor is a former oakland city council member who ran for mayor last year. on saturday, he'll be taking part in a rally to demand city leaders do more to combat crime, which he says disproportionately impacts people of color. >> as we talk about equity and progressive values, it is not

progressive for us to saddle the black community. those that have been marginalized and disenfranchized for so long with the weight of all of this public safety. these issues. >> taylor isn't the only one calling for change. on tuesday, the oakland branch of the naacp released a ten point plan they believe will make the city safer. among other things, they're calling for increasing the number of police officers, creating job training and mentorship programs for young people, and installing license plate readers throughout the city. >> the ten point plan is not really a difficult plan. it's just one that needs to be in place so we can at least do our best to make public safety a priority. >> bishop bob jackson is a member of the local naacp branch. he says many people in the community are scared to be out in their own neighborhoods. jackson believes city leaders are disconnected from the public. >> it seems like the priority of our elected leaders is not the

same priority of the voters and the taxpayers and something that's just into our newsroom in the past few hours, the superintendent of the oakland unified school district said in a statement that skyline high school will be closed tomorrow. >> she also reiterated that this type of violence in oakland needs to end immediately. in the newsroom tonight, tim johns, abc seven news. >> tim, thank you. new developments now. a federal appeals court has weighed in on the clearing of san francisco homeless encampments. the court upheld an injunction that blocked the city from clearing those encampments when the number of homeless individuals is greater than the number of available shelter beds. san francisco officials were trying to get that injunction removed, but according to the chronicle, the city attorney believes today's ruling does give them a little bit more leeway for sweeps. the legal battle began with a lawsuit filed by the coalition on on homelessness, the investment firm that bought nearly $1 billion worth of solano county farmland to create a utopian city met again with

members of congress and they spoke to the abc7 news i-team. >> as long as this organization will not commit to protecting travis air force base with the existing zone and development requirements. i remain very, very concerned. >> abc7 news i-team reporter stephanie sierra explains. federal officials say there are now even more questions after years of secrecy, the billionaire backed investment firm that's behind a massive land grab in solano county is now in the hot seat facing the second round of questions from congressional leaders. >> it was a continuation of my disappointment. for the first time in five years, congressman john garamendi sat down with the ceo of flannery associates, former goldman sachs trader jan sram, to discuss his vision for a so-called utopia, a new city in eastern solano county focused on affordable housing, clean energy and sustainable infrastructure.

>> but garamendi says their proposed plans could hurt travis air force base. >> it's very, very clear that they intend to go to an initiative to change the zoning requirements for that entire 55,000 acres. in doing so, they may very well diminish or eliminate the protections that travis air force base presently has. so i remain very, very concerned. >> did they specify to you specific plans they wanted to do with that land surrounding the base, why they bought it in the first place? >> no specific development plans were given to us, and i don't believe they have any specific development plans. i think they had a pie in the sky, a fairy tale. >> congressman mike thompson shared similar concerns. the i-team's spoke with him last week. if the intent here is to build a city, why do you think the land surrounding travis air force base was a priority years ago? >> well, i asked them about that because there city plans there.

there new city plans are considerably distanced from some of the properties that they were purchasing. and they had, i guess, an explanation for why they bought some of those properties. and it ranged from anywhere there from housing that they want to be able to build to an area that would be maybe suitable for housing, flannery told the i-team. >> there are currently no plans to build any homes within one mile of travis, but both congressmen say it's unclear what that land would be used for , especially given it's an area that's already restricted. supervisor mitch mashburn represents the area. >> it's all zoned agriculture and now it has an overlay that makes it even more restrict with regard to agriculture and any industry that can be put in there related to that. so i do not see an investment purpose in that. >> last year, solano county implemented what's called the

travis reserve overlay, which adds more restrictions for development near the base. in an email obtained by the i-team, flannery expressed interest in using some of the parcels near travis for olive orchards, but didn't specify details or any permits pulled to signal any change of land use or new developments. since we last talked. >> no, nothing in the meantime, there are other concerns surrounding the lack of infrastructure and the price tag attached to it. well, here's what i learned from my discussion, is that that investors were sold a fairy tale, an and right now the sermak and the leadership of this flannery group is busily trying to figure out how to justify what they have sold. >> flannery told the i-team. they thought they had a very productive conversation with congressman garamendi, adding any proposed project in eastern solano county, which would be subject to voter approval, would protect and support travis air force base for the i-team's.

stephanie sierra, abc seven news, burning man has now concluded tonight's temple burn was the final official event in the nevada desert. >> now there's this mass exodus. thousands of burners are trying to head home through a muddy mess. one of the first cities that the burners will pass through is nixon, nevada. it's about 60 miles from black rock city. abc seven news reporter j.r. stone is in nixon, where he's been talking with people, getting a jump start on their departure. >> people have left burning man by the thousands over the course of the last 24 hours. now, this gas station here in nixon, nevada, is one of the first spots that they hit. and it has been busy here. people needing to fill their gas tanks. it's been so busy, they've actually had to bring in extra fuel. so people could fill up. it's just been a mess. it's been a mess. kimberly collins, who just left burning man with her friend james smith, is having that kind of tuesday. they left their burning man camp and spent the overnight hours sitting in traffic like it was from

midnight till 7:00 till 7:00. now they've got air quickly leaking from their tire. >> i have a spare, but i'd have to unpack the entire car to get to it. >> but they're fine. relax the same thing they did when the torrential rain started falling friday night and led to mud everywhere. for once, the sun started drying out. black rock city, the conversation among burners quickly went from mud to when's the best time to leave? some here decided to leave when the man was burned monday night. >> we thought, okay, well, they're out there. let's sneak out the back door. didn't work alone. didn't work. we left black rock at about 7 p.m. last evening. took us eight hours to get off the playa. and then another probably what, 3 or 4 to get into nixon. >> and while traffic leaving is common when we're told by regulars that this type of backup was much longer than usual, this accident along highway 447 left things at a

standstill for those trying to get out. while there is some frustration, our friends kimberly and james, are still smiling about the text messages they received from concerned friends when they finally got service after the rain. >> it's just funny because like, it's like boom, 20 text messages. boy, amazing. >> talking with all of the burners on monday and tuesday, such positas of attitudes. despite everything that they just dealt with. those weather conditions, the traffic backups, all of them still telling me they do it all over again in nevada. j.r. stone, abc seven news. there's still a lot of people trying to get out of that desert. >> we want to get you ready for your wednesday. here's abc seven news meteorologist sandhya patel with your 24 hour accuweather forecast sandhya. >> yeah and larry tomorrow morning our weather is much quieter obviously we're going to wake up to this take a look at a live picture right now from our sutro tower camera salesforce barely visible with all the fog

time of year in capitola. people flocking to the coastline, soaking up the last bit of summer sun. many businesses are still picking up the pieces, though, from those storms. they were looking forward to the labor day weekend foot traffic. but amid so much construction, owners are saying it's slower than usual in that area. it wasn't quite as good as a normal labor day weekend, but still a little slow. >> i think people are worried that we're not quite open. >> we are very grateful for all the people that come down. and, you know, they visit and they spend their hard earned money and it keeps all of us afloat. >> some visitors who came out were curious to see the restoration and say the city really is making a nice comeback. all right. happening tomorrow, lyft will welcome employees back into their san francisco offices. the new plan will require corporate employees to have a hybrid work schedule working in office three out of five work days. the company believes this will boost the city's economy and improve the nation's loneliness epidemic following the covid 19 pandemic.

during yet another covid spike. why are we seeing more covid cases? >> is it because of back to school? it's probably a combination, karina, of the fact that we are seeing back to school. >> we're seeing people get back together. we also potentially have variants that are better at infecting people, better at evading the immune protection that we've built up, either from getting vaccinated and or actually getting covid, which encompasses more than 90% of people. so it's a combination of all of these things. that's why we're seeing it on headlines and the truth is it hasn't really gone away. it's just kind of hung out at a lower level. i have old tests at home. >> i have a couple of them. if i feel covid symptoms. is it okay to take those tests? >> of course it's okay. right. >> but like, are they going to be accurate or are they really going to tell me if i have it or not? >> so they're still accurate. the antigen test you may have are still accurate. what i would do, depending on when you got these tests is look at the expiration date. they're still accurate. now, here's a little asterisk about the accuracy. if you have symptoms, you really feel sick and you're potentially

going around other individuals, especially those who are high risk and you get a negative test. i would retake that test just to make sure. >> and now we've all got to go find those tests in our houses. dr. patel also recommends that anybody feeling sick should get a pcr test. that's more accurate. meanwhile all new covid 19 booster shot is expected to be released as early as next week. it's a monovalent vaccine. that means it only targets one dominant strain. and experts say the new shot will protect against severe disease and death from all currently circulating covid variants, a reminder that you can get exclusive content on the abc7 news 530 streaming newscast. you can catch it every weekday at abc7 news.com as well as on the abc7 news streaming app which is available wherever you stream. a club that was a san francisco lgbtq plus landmark now working to reopen in a new location. the new ownership collective of the stud. that's a bar. join city leaders including the mayor and they announced they've signed a
