military service and has experience as a firearms instructor. just this summer, he was treated for two weeks at a mental health facility after allegedly hearing voices and threatening to shoot up a national guard facility in maine. card legally owns multiple weapons. he has no criminal record. we have been hearing from families of victims and people who were in the crossfire. that includes a little girl whose leg was grazed by a bullet. zoe, who's just ten years old, says she was worried whether she would live or die. we also heard from the father of the bowling alley manager picked up a butcher knife and went after the gunman to try to stop him from killing other people. >> and that's when he shot my son to death, trying to save some more lives. that he ended up losing his life. >> it's shocking. get something that you think would never happen. i never thought i'd grow up and get a bullet in my leg.

why like why do people do this? >> this afternoon, maine officials held a press conference with political leaders. republican senator susan collins was questioned about the yellow flag law, which she says should have been triggered based on the shooter's mental health background. democratic congressman jared golden called on congress to ban assault rifles like the one used in this shooting. and we did just confirm this new development. law enforcement sources now describe the note found at the suspect's home as a suicide note addressed to roberts card son. again the hunt for card is happening as we speak. and as i mentioned, the fbi is at the suspect's home right now. back to you. >> all right. we continue to follow this. thank you, karina. and please remember these events of gun violence. they do weigh on all of us. and we have a list of vetted resources to try to help you to get started, just visit abc seven news.com/take action there is more heartache

tonight in the south bay following a deadly crash that claimed the life of a pregnant woman. >> the baby delivered by emergency surgery has also died. the crash happened near oak ridge mall in san jose at the intersection of blossom hill road and winfield boulevard. a memorial has gone up there to pay tribute to 21 year old april zalgaller, pregnant with a son to be named devonte and they had to pull him from life support last night. >> and he passed around 915. but he's with his mother now in her arms. in heaven's police say zalgaller was driving eastbound on blossom hill road when a stolen car crashed into her. >> two men left the scene immediately after the collision. they have not yet been caught. >> a lot of tragic news tonight. a man in his 40 ends was pinned between two parked cars and crushed to death when the vehicles were hit by a speeding stolen kia suv last night. crash happened on international

boulevard near high street. now, police say the kia initially hit a pontiac. then it lost control at high speed and slammed into the parked cars. the victim was just walking on the sidewalk when he was pinned. he died at the scene. police say the driver ran away after the crash and officers are still searching for that person in closing, a loophole in a state law today, senator scott wiener introduced a plan to make it easier to prosecute car break ins. >> we have had enough. >> we want to see change and we need laws that don't make it easy for criminals to get away with these kinds of crimes. >> i believe that the impact of this legislation session will be transformative. >> the epidemic of car break ins is not limited to just one bay area city, of course, but even if the criminals are caught, there's one part of the current state law that makes it challenging to prosecute them. abc7 news reporter suzanne fawn is in the newsroom to explain how lawmakers are planning and hoping anyway, suzanne, to change that. >> well, dan, state senator scott wiener says he wants to hold auto burglars accountable

by changing a serious loophole in a current law. >> it's an absurd requirement, isn't it? makes no sense. >> state senator scott wiener says there's an auto burglary law on the books that needs a big change. >> we are going to get rid of that useless requirement. >> that requirement is to prove someone is guilty of breaking into a car. california's current auto burglary statute requires proof the vehicle was locked. >> even if you have a video of the person smashing the window, even if there's clear evidence the person broke into the car, the da also has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the car was locked out. >> wiener says his legislation, which he's introducing for the third time, will remove that requirement. san francisco's da says criminals are more brazen, more organized. they're going through windows and seconds to take stuff. but because of that current requirement, victims are required to physically come back to san francisco to testify that their doors were locked that

prevent prosecution of these crimes from being successful. supporters say this proposed legislation would benefit communities across the bay that are being hit hard by car break ins. in oakland, police are ramping up patrols, bringing back foot patrols in the downtown area. and this weekend, opd is launching a pilot program. people can report an auto burglary on instagram and x in san francisco. sfpd is adding more officers in neighborhoods where break ins are happening. even using bait cars to catch thieves. >> we pulled up here and we saw the glass everywhere here at this parking lot of the palace of fine arts, there are several parking stalls filled with broken glass. >> brianna yanez, who's visiting from houston, didn't want to take any chances. we were counting on getting our car broken into, so we put everything in the trunk. >> the president of the american car rental association believes senator wiener's proposed legislation will make a big difference. >> the lack of consequence is for getting caught doing it, and that's what we're here today to

address this is exactly what's needed. >> senator wiener's into produced similar legislation back in 2018 and 19, but believes the bills did not move forward because of the leadership at the time. now, senator wiener hopes the third time will be a charm. back to you. >> yeah, suzanne, it seems like an obvious loophole to close. any idea how many car break in cases have actually not been prosecuted? because the victims could not return to testify in court that their doors were locked? well the da says that's very difficult to quantify. >> but remember, lots of the places where auto burglaries occur are frequented by tourists who don't live in the state or even the country. so they are very unlikely to come back to testify in these cases. back to you. >> question okay, suzanne, thank you. >> a suspect is now in custody in connection to the death of a 16 year old at a house party in oakley last night. police arrested an 18 year old from antioch. he's accused of shooting and killing that 16 year old who went to liberty high school in brentwood. three others were also hurt. the suspects bail was set at $1.1 million.
