off duty pilots attempting to shut off the engines of a plane bound for sfo. we're learning more about the suspect from pleasant hill and an up close look at how he allegedly tried to cut the power with 83 people on board. >> we don't know where the shooter is. we don't know what's happening. we don't know anything. >> outrage in the town of oakley. a deadly house party shooting over the weekend brings rumors of a school shooting to

follow, causing a mass walkout on campus. and an emergency meeting tonight through floods at his back. >> and that's it. >> it's the monday night mistakes in minnesota. our team is there with the biggest moments and full breakdown of the 49 ers. heartbreak >> building a better bay area moving forward, finding solutions. this is abc7 news. >> good evening and thank you for joining us. i'm ama daetz. >> and i'm dan ashley. we're going to begin with a fiery meeting tonight at freedom high school in contra costa county. emotions boiling over after a house party shooting killed a 16 year old and hurt three other teenagers. home on shannon way in oakley.at no one has been arrested.'s seven news reporter j.r stone was at tonight's emergency meeting with students afraid of what might come next. >> we lost a child in this community. shattered all kinds of lives. kids are scared. >> parents at freedom high school in oakley angered and fearful at a meeting with school leaders on monday night. i

understand over a thousand kids left school today. >> i am further informed that they left school out of concerns over their safety that after rumors spread on social media that there could be more violence connected to the shooting that happened at a house party saturday night in oakley, one that left a 16 year old dead and three other teens wounded with gunshots. >> we don't know where the shooter is. we don't know what's happening. we don't know anything. if you think i'm going to let my daughter walk back here. you're crazy. and i think all of these parents probably feel the same. >> yes. oakley police chief paul beard says monday his rumors were not true and there was no threat to freedom high school. >> nothing in our investigation that leads us to believe that is the fact. we knew that our kids were safe today, that this incident did not have any connections to school. >> the principal and superintendent saying at one point that some students left the campus to hang out at nearby fast food restaurant. >> that's some kid just got killed. and then now there's a

shooter threat. and they want to say in there that we went to get food. i went home because i was scared for my life at school, as many other kids did, calling their parents crying because they're scared for their life. >> but something needs to be done. >> i got messages from a middle school closer to my home as to what was going on here before we got messages from the principal, which is a big problem. big problem. >> sounds like you're angry about it. i am. >> i am. >> those from the district trying to calm the emotions of parents and students, the freedom high school principal confirming that the student killed did not go there. teens we talked with say many at freedom high school knew him. >> my emotions today have ranged from sadness to frustration. it's our sister school that's facing it and nothing is going to bring the student back. and i've been in that position before. >> chief beard is vowing to get to the bottom of what happened saturday night. >> it is vitally important that we do get this killer off the street. and i appreciate the

fact that you referred this person as a killer, because he or she is j.r. stone, abc7 news. >> and we give you the full picture of public safety where you live. thanks to the hard data in our interactive abc7 neighborhood safety tracker, it shows you a wide range of public safety statistics for oakland, san jose and san francisco. you'll find it on the front page of abc7 news.com. >> now to that terrifying chaos in the cockpit. a horizon air flight making its way to san francisco when an off duty pilot allegedly tries to shut off the engines of the plane. here's how air traffic control reacted last night after the flight crew was able to subdue that pilot and make an emergency landing. >> stars.and 2059. what is the threat level? the threat is now in the back of the airplane, so we're reduced on the threat level. what was the highest level that occurred? it escalated to a four for events, but he's out of the cockpit now. >> the flight originally left everett, washington, last night just north of seattle, before

having to divert in portland. the flight crew was able to put zip ties on the suspect and arrest him on the tarmac. abc7 news reporter tim johns is learning more about this off duty pilot from the bay area. tim's in the newsroom. tim. >> yeah. dan now oregon authorities have identified that pilot as 44 year old joseph david emerson. emerson is originally from washington state but currently resides in the east bay. he works for alaska airlines, which owns horizon air and is why he was authorized to sit in the cockpit in the flight deck, jump seat with joseph david emerson now in custody. more details are beginning to emerge about the man who allegedly tried to turn the engines off. a plane flying from seattle to san francisco. records reviewed by the abc seven news i-team show that emerson has lived in contra costa county since 2008 and has no criminal record, tax liens or divorce proceedings. he has a wife who teaches at peralta community college, as well as two young children. neighbors near his home in pleasant hill tell us emerson was always kind towards them. they say they were

shocked to hear the news. >> he's never had a negative statement about his job or anything like that. so yeah, he's very understanding and well of other people. >> and, you know, we have a grandson with special needs and he's very good to him. >> that sense of disbelief was also felt by passenger others on the plane. emerson allegedly tried to down. >> it was definitely rattling. not knowing what was happening. >> but aubrey cavallo was flying back to the bay area after attending a wedding. she says knowing that emerson had been thoroughly vetted and trained by the airline makes the situation even more shocking. aubrey tells us she saw emerson's arrest firsthand after the plane made its emergency landing in oregon. >> about ten police officers, us armed, came on, walked straight to the back of the plane where i was sitting and detained him and walked. the gentleman off the plane. he looked me dead in the eyes almost. others though, say the experience wasn't as terrifying for them.

>> that includes aubrey's boyfriend, alex, who says he slept through the entire incident. >> i regret falling asleep. yeah, i'm never going to fall asleep again on a flight despite missing the action, though, alex says he's just relieved everything turned out okay. i'm just happy to be home. happy to be safe. and i'm happy they handled it really well. >> now, we did reach out to several of emerson's family members this evening, but have not heard back from any of them as of yet. he is facing charges, including 83 counts of attempted murder. that's one for each person on board that plane. he could be in court as soon as this week in the newsroom. tim johns, abc seven news. all right, tim, thank you. >> and we wanted to learn how exactly something like this could happen from a technical aspect. so we got inside a cockpit with an aviation expert with just a pull of a lever and a press of a button. power and fuel can be cut to a plane's engine by fire, extinguish fires, which is what emerson is accused of attempting to do. now, normally this function is only to be used in case of fire. >> what i would do is i would pull this lever up, which is hard to do. i've got to push the

safety button down first so it can't happen by accident. when i pull this up, this disconnects the fuel flow going to the engine. this also disconnects the hydraulics and the electrical power for this particular plane model. >> emerson would have had easy access to those controls from where he was sitting in the cockpit if he succeeded. it would have left the plane with no way to fly normally. >> now, the airline pilots association says pilots are continuously evaluated throughout their careers, adding , quote, while the investigation is just getting underway, it is important to remember that the airline pilot profession in north america is one of the most highly vetted and scrutinized careers. we've been sending out alerts on this breaking news all day just like this one tonight. make sure that you're in the know as soon as news and weather hits with the abc seven news bay area app. just be sure to enable the apps notifications feature. >> all right, let's check in with abc seven news meteorologist andy patel because it is a busy weather week ahead. she's getting us ready for our

24 hour accuweather forecast jackets tomorrow sandhya. >> yes in the morning. definitely grab those alma because it is going to be crisp and cool to start the morning. >> a live view right now from our san francisco sutro tower camera looking at a beautiful view of the city. temperatures are running lower compared to yesterday for many areas down seven inches novato, three degrees. cooler in san jose. so when the sun comes up, temperatures are going to be in the 40s and the 50s by noontime, mainly sunny 50s 60s and in the afternoon it's a nice mild fall day but it won't last. those temperatures begin to drop. we do have changes coming for the mid and latter part of the workweek. i'll be back with that coming right up. dan and ama. >> all right, sandhya, thank you. now to tonight's game in minnesota to the 40 niners taking on the vikings in prime time on monday night football as you saw it right here on abc seven. >> well, it turned out to be another frustrating game on the road for the niners and abc seven news sports director larry beil is here with a look at what went wrong. >> a lot of things the offense defense and other missed field

goal by a rookie kicker. >> all he did come back and hit from 55 brock purdy struggled a couple of late interceptions the defense just could not stop the vikings they racked up 452 yards on offense. that is a lot. and still the 49 ers had a chance to win this game late. we used to seeing niners quarterbacks of all eras engineering these dramatic fourth quarter scores. but brock purdy the couple picks late both of them grabbed by former cal star cam bynum and the second one sealed the deal on a 22 to 17 niners loss. abc seven's chris alvarez reports from minneapolis. >> larry, for the first time since brock purdy has been the starting quarterback of the 49 ers, san francisco now faces a losing streak two games in a row after a five point loss to minnesota. they're going to have to quickly regroup with a game coming up sunday at home against the bengals and just take care of the football. >> i mean, our offense moved to move the ball up and down the field. we had a fumble, two interceptions. so we just got to take care of that and i thought we were playing well. besides that, my other message is we're

going to wake up tomorrow and we have a game on sunday going into a bye week. so we have one game season. get back on the winning track, get the vibes going again. just move on. >> it's the nfl, you know, every team is good. it doesn't matter who you're going against, what the record is or anything like that. we didn't come into the week taking this team lightly. we knew was going to be a hostile environment and was going to be a great challenge. our defense was really good. kirk cousins is really good, so it's like, you know, for us, we came in with the right mindset. we just got to execute better. but for me and you know, second win in a row hurts obviously, but we just got to be better. >> we got to go into this this mindset of, you know, finishing this season and that season is before the bye week. so we got one more game. we got to finish this and, and go into this, not five and three. we got to go into six and two. so we got to win. >> and after dealing with an oblique injury all week long, christian mccaffrey was impressive in this game. he scored two touchdowns, keeping the 49 ers in it. that 16 straight games with a score. he looks to tie the all time nfl

record in front of the faithful sunday against the bengals. larry >> thank you, chris. coach kyle shanahan was openly frustrated with his defense after the game. also, three turnovers didn't help, but nick bosa may have put it best when he said the nfl will humble you. yeah just a matter of when and that when is right now for 450 yards is remarkable. that's way too much. you're not going to play winning football like that and we'll have more later on in sports. thanks, lee. all right. >> the hang up in the house another week without a speaker, but now several republican suitors are lining up. >> plus, cities going green in china. and governor newsom is getting an up close look. >> and halloween fun for everyone. the south bay teacher with a mission of inclusion for his students. all of that's ahead. >> but first, here's a look at what's coming up on jimmy kimmel live right after abc seven news at 11, jimmy. >> thanks, dan. and hello, my friends. up north tonight we get ready for even more football with terry bradshaw and howie long from the daily show. ronny chang and music from brothers osborne. and we get to the bottom of the biggest wheel of fortune fail yet. next on jimmy kimmel live

says it is keeping up efforts to ensure the release of ten americans, along with about 200 others being held by hamas. this, as israel is planning a ground invasion in the coming days. president biden says he will not talk about a cease fire deal until the hostages are freed. israel claims to have struck 300 targets in gaza within 24 hours. some trucks with badly needed water, food and medicine for palestinians made it into gaza over the weekend.

>> one less republican tonight in the race for the speaker of the house. another vote is scheduled for tomorrow morning. representative jim jordan failed three times to get the 217 votes needed. so he was dropped by his gop colleagues. house majority leader steve scalise ended his bid when he couldn't secure the votes. the party has yet to unify behind anyone. there are now eight republicans in the running after representative dan muser dropped out today. it's been almost three weeks now without a speaker and no legislation can reach the floor in the meantime. um, so there is rising urgency to get someone selected. >> happening tomorrow, san francisco mayor london breed is expected to give an update on preparations for the asia pacific economic cooperation summit, or apec, which is coming next month. it's just about three weeks away now, between 30 and 50,000 people are expected in the city, including president biden and several heads of state. it is a very big deal. officials say a four square block section of downtown san francisco will be locked down

during this convention. this meeting around moscone center. businesses are also gearing up, some expecting a real boom in customers. others worry about going dark due to tight security measures. so we will see what happens. and that summit is one of the big reasons the city is moving to re locate that giant ferris wheel from golden gate park over to the waterfront at fisherman's wharf. operators aim to get the wheel up and running in time for the apec conference. the 150 foot tall skystar observation wheel will be set up at a triangular shaped parking lot right next to pier 39. workers are wasting no time getting the ride ready for moving. we went out to the park today and you can see the gondolas are already taken down tonight. >> governor newsom is in shenzhen, china, trekking across the country as part of his six day trip to address climate change. earlier today, he spoke at the university of hong kong. he emphasized california's goal of achieving complete carbon

neutrality by 2045, five years faster than hong kong's. the governor says the key to that is eliminating carbon from all vehicles and trucks. >> so if we're going to get serious about cleaning up our environment, half of that is just in the transportation space and that's why we went big and we focused so much time and energy in that space with his latest stop in shenzhen, governor newsom is checking out a city with an all electric public bus fleet. >> later this week, he'll tour an offshore wind energy facility and later see tesla's shanghai manufacturing plant. right. well, new tonight, a teacher in the south bay is making sure all students get to have a fun and inclusive halloween. yeah it is the second year he's hosting a halloween dance for special education students. as abc seven news south bay reporter lauren martinez shows us this year, he needs some help. >> what do we say, daniel? how are you feeling today? right. yeah. >> special education teacher rolly vital has eight students in his class at leyva middle

school in san jose. daniel delgado is one of them. three, three, four, five, six. last year, vital had the idea to organize a halloween dance specifically for special needs students. and it's becoming tradition. >> you know, we don't usually go to the regular school dances. and i said, hey, i want to showcase and really highlight students association. and i thought, hey, my students, they want to go to the dance. so let's have a dance. >> last year, six classrooms attended from the evergreen school district. parent rebecca delgado said the dance created an inclusive environment. >> it it's nice because he feels like his peers, you know, he doesn't they don't feel isolated . they feel like, you know, part of the part of the students. >> delgado said. it's a great feeling to know her son can be himself. >> and it's very hard, you know, because the things we go through on a daily basis, you know, other children don't have to deal with this year. >> vital is going bigger and better. the district is allowing

him to organize a second halloween dance for special education students, similar to last year. it's funded by parent donations. >> it's from the halloween decorations to the food to the drinks to the prizes. we even have a photo booth. we have a dj and even the busses that are picking up the students from their schools. we have to pay for that. >> the to create a gofundme so far worth of the party has spread fast and 19 classes have rsvp'd to go. four of them are from outside the district. >> we want to experience everything that any other student experience is. so although we don't go to every single school dance, this is just for us in san jose. >> lauren martinez, abc seven news. >> and it's kids from preschool to high school so it's awesome. everybody's it's fantastic. >> what a great idea. good for them. >> all right. let's get a check on our weather. >> meteorologist sandhya patel is back with the forecast sandhya. yeah. >> and that was just a nice story. and we do have some nice weather ahead. dan and alma, but it is going to be changing after

tomorrow. so take advantage of the situation that we have for tomorrow. let's take a look at a live or i shouldn't say live. i should say earlier recorded views of the sunset from tonight . they are so stunning, no matter which direction you were looking at, the sun, you're going to be seeing scenes like this again tomorrow. and a bright evening for tomorrow night. we're looking at the home opener for the doves as they take on the phenix suns. 7 p.m. at tipoff. it's going to be 59 degrees. a little breezy out there. temperature dropping off to about 57. a good idea to take the hoodie if you're going to the game and enjoy. high pressure is building in and that's what's going to provide us with another mild day. we did have the rain yesterday, brought us decent amounts for many areas, but it's long gone and we do have some patchy fog out there, especially near the coast where visibility on live doppler seven, you will notice, has come down to about three miles. oakland is at seven miles right now. so be careful during the morning commute 50s and 60s on your temperatures at this hour a live view from our pier 39

camera. all's quiet here. a crisp morning with patchy dense fog. sunny and mild afternoon. it is going to get cooler mid to late in the workweek and a chance of showers coming your way on friday. the fog will be dense in patches around the region, not just the bay shoreline and the coast, but parts of the north bay valley. so be careful. tomorrow afternoon, we'll see some higher clouds, but pretty much a nice looking day. morning temperatures in the 40s and the 50s. this is where you need the sweaters or the jackets as it will start out cooler than yesterday morning or this morning as well. temperatures in the low 60s to low 80s. it's going to be a mild tuesday. plenty of sun from coast to inland. wednesday, temperatures drop off as a cold front comes in thursday is going to be a cooler one. and friday is when those numbers bottom out. upper 50s to barely making it into the 60s. the reason for all of these changes mid to late in the week, cold front coming in. it will bring some snow down to lake level in the sierra nevada. it'll bring us cooler windier weather on wednesday and then

another system coming in will bring us an opportunity for some showers on friday. but certainly snow showers down to lake level. as i mentioned, 1 to 3in by sunday as we have a couple of systems going through the region. the accuweather seven day forecast does feature mild weather tomorrow. that is your warmest day. gusty and cooler for your wednesday down to the 70s. it feels like fall as we go 5060s with that chance of some wet weather on friday and still below average for the weekend. but it is feeling like october ama and dan. we'll be right back
