trigger someone and then trigger someone to the point that they can pull out a gun. it's quite a scary experience. >> investigators are still searching for the driver who opened fire. they don't have information on the suspect. they can publicly disclose, but they asked drivers that may have seen the shooting to call their tip line. the victim's family says a road rage incident can happen to anyone. >> you don't know what's going on in their head and you don't know what they could have. i mean, it could be like the finger or they can have like an actual gun to pull on you. there's a really anything that you can do besides during the moments and really think about your safety in the south bay. >> lauren martinez, abc seven news. >> an investigation is underway after hayward police officers shot and killed a man last night. the department's acting chief says officers responded to a report of a man with a gun near a parking garage. the man who was unhoused apparently refused orders to drop the weapon and officers opened fire when he pointed that weapon toward them. officers later

determined the weapon was a b-b gun. angela koonce lives on the streets and says she knew the man and he was up in here last night drinking with a fake gun like a fake gun. >> a fake gun in his backpack and like i think he might have pulled it wanting suicide by cop . >> she claims she did not hear officers say stop or wait or put the weapon down. police have not said how many shots were fired. the name of the man killed has not been released. >> new developments tonight out of the state capitol. psychedelics are one step closer to becoming decriminalized in the golden state. in fact, it's just governor newsom's signature away from becoming law. >> but that's not all. there's actually more than one bill moving through the state legislature to ease drug laws in california tonight, abc seven news reporter tim johns is unpacking what could change in the debate that's coming with it. >> several pieces of drug legislation making their way through the state capitol on thursday. >> first, both the state assembly and the senate voting to decriminalize some psychedelics like magic mushrooms. they're not a

panacea. >> this is not a silver bullet. but there are plenty of people who have literally been able to turn their lives around because of psychedelics. >> state senator scott wiener has been championing the bill for several years. he believes everyone from combat veterans with ptsd to those who suffer from disorders like anxiety and depression could benefit. >> the tide has turned and shifted dramatically on these issues in california. support for decrim analyzation of substances and full legalization of cannabis is overwhelmed. >> now state assemblyman matt haney supported wiener's legislation and also is advocating for his own. haney has introduced a bill that would allow certain cannabis retailers to sell food and beverages. the idea behind it would be to create cannabis cafes similar to ones in places like amsterdam. um, on thursday, the state senate passed haney's bill by an overwhelming margin and now needs just one more vote before heading to the governor. >> california should be a

destination for cannabis just like it is for wine and one of the things that is holding us back from that right now is we can't really offer a cannabis experience that is legal, that is safe, that is regulated. >> while both proposals have gotten support from lawmakers, some in the public still have concerns. but wiener believes they can work together to find solutions that work for everyone of any substance. >> first of all, can be misused and any substance can impact someone negatively. that's true of substances that are legal, because for him, this is only the beginning. >> the stuff that we are taking and that hopefully will take if the governor signs the bill is step number one in this process. >> we have a lot more work to do in san francisco, tim johns, abc seven news. >> all right. time to get into that upcoming friday forecast because we are staring down some pretty great weather for the weekend. >> did you say we could end patel here with a preview. >> all of a sudden? larry's
