6:01 pm
charges were just announced. tim >> yeah. dan, we heard from district attorney brooke jenkins literally just minutes ago here outside her office. she, of course, says that she understands the severity and the very public nature of this case. she says she has officially filed charges against the person accused of shooting pearsall on saturday. let me break down some of what those charges are for you guys. the first one, of course, attempted murder with the allegations of intentional discharge of a firearm and the personal use of a firearm. a second charge assault with an automatic firearm and the final charge. the da says she is filing attempted second degree robbery. >> at this time, the charges will be filed in the juvenile court, no longer under california law. can a district attorney choose to file those charges against a minor in adult court. the only mechanism for that is to request a transfer hearing, which requires that a judge rule on the minor's
6:02 pm
fitness to be transferred to adult court, which essentially means that the juvenile system would not be equipped to rehabilitate that minor. so going forward, my office will review the case more closely to determine whether or not we will seek that fitness hearing. >> while jenkins has indicated she would like to try the suspect in adult court, the ultimate decision isn't hers to make. legal analyst stephen clark says according to california law, jenkins will have to petition to have the case moved into adult court and that a judge will then make the final call. >> a lot will depend on the juvenile's prior history. have they been involved in the juvenile justice system before and what happened during those proceedings? and also a deep dive into the juvenile social history will also be important. >> clark says the severity of any potential penalties faced by the suspect would be affected to a large degree by where he is ultimately tried, the suspect would face much harsher sentencing if he were to be tried in adult court, as opposed
6:03 pm
to in juvenile. >> the juvenile system is designed for rehabilitation. there will be a custody component, but not nearly the extent that you would see in adult court. >> since the shooting occurred, mayor london breed has been open about her desire to see the suspect face consequences. speaking to abc seven news over the weekend, reid told us she had many questions surrounding the entire incident. >> all of the situation around this is suspicious from my perspective, like, how did all of this happen? >> on tuesday, we asked her to clarify her weekend remarks. breed told me she found it odd that someone would attempt a robbery in the middle of the day in an area like union square, which has a massive law enforcement presence. the mayor says she's looking forward to getting answers from the ongoing investigation. >> the investigators are going to get down to it. they'll be looking at phone records. they'll be looking at everything to decide whether or not there was a reason behind what happened at this particular event. and then to target someone so high profile, given the national and international
6:04 pm
attention this case has receive, breed believes it's more important than ever to hold the person responsible to account. it sends a strong message that if you do come to san francisco and you do commit these crimes, you will be arrested and you will be prosecuted. >> and dan, the district attorney, also telling us that the suspect is expected to be arraigned in court tomorrow afternoon. but for now, i'm live in san francisco. tim johns, abc seven news. >> all right. tim, thanks very much. now, today we are hearing from the forty-niners for the first time since the shooting, players got to visit with ricky pearsall in person at practice. >> as soon as i saw him, i smiled like i just. i smiled when dapped him up, hugged him and just hugged him. just hugged him and just just let him know, man. just take it at his own pace. >> certainly a huge sense of relief and the incident appears to be bringing the team closer together. 40 niners general manager john lynch, who visited pearsall in the hospital, confirmed the wide receiver did not suffer any nerve or organ damage. he explained that
6:05 pm
pearsall first got to talk with his teammates saturday via facetime at a training camp party. >> we had a team party that was scheduled when i got to the hospital and visited with ricky as one of the first things, he said, mr. lynch, what's going on? you know, i would really like everyone to go to that party and i'd also like to talk to some of my teammates. i said, ricky, you take care of yourself. but, you know, kind of a cool moment. we were able to pipe ricky into the party and he facetimed the entire group, the 40 niners placed pearsall on the non-football injury list and are giving him at least four weeks to recover. >> they'll revisit things then with the doctors, but lynch says he's confident we'll see pearsall on the field this season. for sure. the 40 niners kick off the new season in less than one week. they'll play at levi's stadium against the new york jets on monday night football right here on abc seven. coverage starts at 5 p.m. monday. >> we're tracking more breaking news out of san francisco. a deadly crash with two cars over a cliff. firefighters tell us

6:10 pm
>> oftentimes, when they are driving vehicles through the front doors of our business stores, they're not driving their own vehicles through those doors. they're driving stolen rental cars because they don't mind damaging those cars. >> she claims cutting the time down will make it easier for police to do their jobs. >> once that car is entered into the system as stolen, we will have another technological way to make sure that sfpd can do what it needs to pull over that car and make an arrest in that situation, if necessary. >> this information officers will be used to immediately apprehend suspects. >> san francisco deputy police chief derrick jackson says if the change is made, it would also make the city's 400 newly installed license plate readers more effective. >> with the ability to better track stolen rental vehicles, we can be more effective in identifying criminal suspects and continue to keep driving down crime. >> governor newsom has until the end of september to sign or veto the bill in san francisco. lena

from studios to three bedrooms. there are more than 150 below market rate units to southern california. >> governor newsom has declared a state of emergency in rancho palos verdes because of a landslide that's making homes simply too dangerous to live in. reporter josh haskell from our sister station in la has more. >> this intersection in the sea view neighborhood in rancho palos verdes is sinking, making it a challenge for utility companies to serve their customers. most of these homes still have gas and water, but the electricity is out. and although southern california edison was only supposed to keep the power off to 20 homes in sea view indefinitely, that number is already growing to include greg montgomery's home, which he's lived in since 1988. montgomery had to drain his pool because water was leaking into the ground below. >> unbelievable. in the last four months, it's constant. i mean, it's just what do you do? we sitting here on a keg of dynamite and we can't go repair
6:42 pm
anything because the ground continues to move. >> montgomery says he was told he could sell his house for $2.5 million before the accelerated land movement caused by all the rain the past two years. now, he's not sure anyone would want to buy his home, especially with all the new cracks that have popped up on his property the last month. >> we've lost our ability to live normal lives. i mean, we have plans to go places and we can't go. we have to stay here and so it's very disruptive and it's very frustrating not getting answers. somebody could come along and tell me this is what we're going to do, and it'll fix the problem. but nobody can say that. >> montgomery lives above palos verdes drive south, which is constantly being paved because all the land movement has turned it into a very bumpy, uneven road. on tuesday, governor gavin newsom declared a state of emergency for rancho palos verdes. >> we're very happy that the governor has declared a state of
6:43 pm
emergency today. it is a bigger problem than just the city of rancho palos verdes. and so having the state declare this, that opens up resources, federal resources to us and also the possibility that our residents get some financial relief as they move their homes from gas and overhead wire service to off grid utilities. >> josh haskell, abc seven news. >> our september sizzle is well underway. next, sandia shows you who has triple digit temperatures and how long until things start to cool down. >> stay with us for that. and a reminder that pride is coming to oakland this weekend. abc seven is a proud sponsor and will be live streaming the parade starting at 11 a.m. on sunday. watch wherever you stream abc

6:45 pm
they say the hardest part of getting something done let's go! hustle! is getting started. well, we did that 30 years ago, when california first took on the tobacco industry. this is not just about access. it's about the message it sends... now smoking is down 60 percent.
6:46 pm
lung cancer 42 percent. a couple of our cities have already ended tobacco sales. a california without big tobacco isn't just possible, it's already happening. in hollywood history. tim burton received his star on the hollywood walk of fame. today, the legendary director is the creative force behind beetlejuice, edward scissorhands, batman forever, winona ryder and michael keaton both spoke at burton's ceremony today. >> it was beautiful. you know, i it's been spending time with him on the film, obviously, and then
6:47 pm
we've been traveling a little bit, but honestly, it was a very special you don't get it every time on every movie. >> the actors reunited with burton for the new beetlejuice sequel coming out this week. >> a new season of tamron hall kicked off today. it is season six reporter david navarro with our sister station in new york, caught up with the host after her first show of the season. >> tamron hall is a force of nature. she kicked off season six today with a new theme song, a new audience, and a new year of entertaining her fans. so with all that going on, it was no surprise she lost a shoe in the process. >> my shoe broke right before this interview. okay. and so just keeping it real, like carrie bradshaw, i lost my shoe. >> but the show must go on. this is the sixth season of her talk show. along the way, it has won two emmys and several nominations. what is the key to the success of your show? >> you know what? it's the same reason we've been friends for almost 20 years. it's about connection. it's about being
6:48 pm
curious about people. it's about talking to people and building relationships. >> and this season, her theme is all about nurturing each other. >> what are the relationships you want to nurture? what do you want to nurture in your career, and what are the things you need to remove? >> tamron has learned a lot about nurturing her only son is now in preschool and is the reason she has a new perspective on life. >> he's really shown me the best of this journey is when you can show someone so impressionable the joys, right? we know life is tough. we know the challenges, we know the unfairness of it all. but there's so many good things out of it. and as a parent, i get to show him that. >> david navarro, abc seven news. >> and you can watch tamron hall week days at one right here on abc seven. >> she seems like a really nice lady. yes. got a great show. all right, let's turn our attention back to the weather forecast and the triple digit heat. >> let's get to sandhya patel for that. sandhya. yeah. >> and, dan, let's take a look at the advisories and the warnings up and down the state. we have heat advisories and excessive heat warnings, so we're not alone. this is going to impact many of us in
6:49 pm
california. on live doppler seven a fog is off the coastline. it will reform along the coast. but just in patches overnight tomorrow afternoon. it's a warm one at our beaches, hot inland with those triple digits. now we take a look at thursday and it's still going to be hot inland. seeing those 170 at the coast by friday, some relief arrives at the coast and bay. inland areas are still hot, but by the weekend we will get some relief and temperatures will drop closer to average for this time of year. until then, get ready for the scorching heat the next couple of days we will have much better conditions and lower fire danger as we head into the weekend. until then, we all have to stay cool and stay vigilant. dan. >> and for sure be safe. all right? thanks sandy. >> all right. sports director larry beil is here. a lot going on with the niners. >> everybody get to work. a flurry of news and people and everybody showing up. they're signed. sealed delivered for the 40 niners in the season opener. trent williams arriving just in time for the first game of the
6:50 pm
year with the new york jets. that's next where there was only one pediatrician to serve more than 10,000 children. daniel lurie said, i'm going to help. we opened a clinic for our most vulnerable children.
6:51 pm
i have worked shoulder to shoulder with him as we have brought solutions where people thought the problem was unsolvable. daniel doesn't take excuses. he holds himself accountable. and i know that he can do it for the city of san francisco.
6:52 pm
offensive tackle trent williams ended his holdout after coming to terms on a new contract. it's a three year deal worth a total of $82.6 million. some of us would be fine with just 2.6,
6:53 pm
actually, but 48 million of that is fully guaranteed. williams had all the leverage here in these negotiations because everybody knows that any super bowl dreams disappear. big number 71 isn't rumbling down the field toward you. a veteran like trent doesn't need a ton of time to get ready. but i mean, think about how difficult it has to be to get into football shape in just six days. williams says the deal actually took longer than he expected, but he really wanted to rejoin the club. >> you think of a kid not being able to go out for recess and got to watch everybody through the window. it was it was some really up and down times, you know, and there was times where i didn't know if it was really worth it. you know, times where i just needed that camaraderie. i wanted to see my boys. i hadn't seen him in a long time. you know, obviously, the last time we were together, it wasn't what we wanted it to be. so for lack of a better words kind of war with both sides going to lose a little blood, but, you know, wave the white flag at the end. we both signed a little peace treaty and we're good.
6:54 pm
>> yeah, that's an expensive peace treaty, actually. also, back on the practice field, brandon aiyuk, who spent months and months going back and forth in contract talks and all the social media posts, ultimately resulting in a four year deal for $120 million. interesting admission from aiyuk today indicating, you know what the contract actually could have been finalized faster. >> and ultimately i wanted to be here and i ended up being here. so i'm happy. i'm good, i'm happy. i'm ready to go. feeling fresh, feeling renewed, coming with new energy. so just excited to play football again. i'm not going to lie, i made it a little bit more difficult than it needed to at the end. but yeah, it was. i mean, it was it was like that from, from i'm not going to say the whole entire time, but, for about the past month, i think we were we were pretty good. >> well, now you tell us. thanks. it was daily agony. the piersol williams aiyuk news overshadowed a really important development for the 40 niners. and that is running back christian mccaffrey returning to practice. cmc has been out for
6:55 pm
several weeks with a calf injury. mccaffrey was the nfl offensive player of the year last season for the niners, so having him back at 100% is crucial now. ricky pearsall will miss at least the first four games of the season after the shooting incident at union square over the weekend. what is astounding, though, is the story from broadcaster for the niners, tim ryan, who said he saw pearsall already working out in the gym. this is days after having a bullet enter and exit his body, and pearsall is back already working out. not sure what he's doing. i assume more lower body stuff, but just the fact that he's in there is remarkable. he's missed time in camp due to shoulder and hamstring injuries, so it might take a while for pearsall to get to full speed, but he wanted to reassure gm john lynch of one thing. >> you know, ricky takes a lot of pride in being available and, you know, one continues to point out that i promise you, i'm not i'm not injury prone. ricky, this is not being injury prone. like something, out of your
6:56 pm
control happened and ricky is going to be great. he's going to be a fantastic player. the times we've seen him out on the play, he's exactly what we envisioned and more and can't wait to see that take place in due time. >> yeah. getting shot is not injury prone. that's giants pretty much playing out the string these days. but a nice honor for blake snell, who was just named the national league pitcher of the month. snell made six starts in august, went two zero with a 1.06 earned run average. he's been almost unhittable, averaging more than 12 strikeouts per nine innings, looking very much like the ace that the giants were hoping to get when they signed him, and hopefully he'll be back next year. sports on abc seven. sponsored by smart and final. good stuff today. yeah. so i mean trent williams, 27 million a year is what it works out to. he's happy aiyuk's happy here. okay, pearsall is okay. brock purdy has got to be smiling. the trent is back. so it's all coming together. great. all right. thanks. >> all right. tonight on abc seven, it is the three hour finale of the bachelorette that
