with a gun. the president of the san francisco police officers association gave her take. >> don't bring the bolawrap to a gunfight. you had a person who was armed with a firearm. the bolawrap was what? deployed three times and it failed. >> mcray said officers followed their training, but this was not the best approach. >> when they deploy it, a person has to be standing still. >> officers ended up shooting the suspect multiple times. >> officer number four, who discharged his firearm >> is the san francisco police commission. reviews shootings like this one and their strategies? it's clear that it's not a perfect tool, that it's used for some circumstances, so i'm glad that it was tried. >> mccray believes officers would have benefited from a stun gun. >> they didn't want to shoot, shoot him. san francisco police officers are not allowed to use tasers. a conversation that the poa is resurfacing after this incident. >> the data on tasers has some

very worrying pieces. there's some data that shows that in-custody deaths go up. >> the suspect was booked on nine counts, including resisting a peace officer. the san francisco da's office is currently investigating this case. in san francisco, luz pena, abc seven news. >> another woman is suing sean diddy combs. thalia graves spoke alongside her lawyer, gloria allred, this morning. she says that in 2001, combs and his then bodyguard drugged, beat and raped her, filmed the rape and distributed the video. that's her allegation. graves says she struggled with depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress. >> an emotionally scarred. it has been hard for me to trust others to form healthy relationships or even feel safe in my own skin. >> graves is seeking damages in an amount to be determined at trial, and for all copies of the

video to be destroyed. singer cassie has also sued combs for rape and abuse. combs is being held without bail and faces federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges. there will be no charges filed against the dancing with the stars pro. arrested a month ago. artem chigvintsev was arrested for suspicion. suspicion of felony domestic violence on his estranged wife. he is married to former wwe star nikki garcia, who has filed for divorce. but napa county district attorney alison haley announced today that there isn't enough evidence to charge the star. she says her office will revisit the case if new evidence comes to light. >> three houses caught fire in eastern contra costa county this afternoon. the fire started just before 2 p.m. in pittsburgh on warren way. firefighters have things under control now, but three people went to the hospital with minor injuries. the cause is under investigatio. >> money. that sums it up. that's what's needed to save

muni. bart and caltrain from financial collapse. so what happens if those transit agencies don't get the funding they say they so desperately need? abc seven news reporter tim johns went to find out and is in the newsroom to tell us what he learned today. tim. >> yeah. dan, the various transit agencies have been warning about their budgetary issues for years now. after ridership cratered at the start of the pandemic, it still hasn't recovered as work from home has become a permanent part of our lives. but with covid money from both the federal government and the state drying up, the agencies need a new way to pay their bills. the san francisco county transportation authority, hosting a first of its kind meeting tuesday morning. the gathering bringing together bar, sfmta and caltrain officials to discuss the so-called fiscal cliffs that several bay area transit agencies are facing. >> it's a regional p, so i don't think it's going to be solved in just one meeting. >> although i did hear a lot of openness towards solving the problem, which is great, and it's going to require a lot of

coordination throughout the region, which means we need to be working with people who are not in this room. >> since the start of the pandemic, the three agencies have faced plummeting ridership numbers that haven't yet recovered to their 2019 levels. with governmental funding coming to an end, the agencies could face a collective budget deficit as high as $700 million by 2027, a nightmare scenario, they say, that could lead to massive service cuts that would have severe impacts across the bay area. >> the arguments are are financial. they are everything to do with sustainability. so environment congestion and so transportation works in order to keep basically the engine running to address the problem. >> the agencies and some lawmakers have proposed placing a taxpayer funding measure on the november 2026 ballot. >> we can't afford right now to take any options off the table. we really need to follow any kind of path that might lead to some relief. >> but with bay area voters actually pass such a measure on the streets of san francisco, some told us they would support

it and cited public transit's importance in our car centric region. >> they can't really see the impact that a greater integrated public transit system would have on the community as a whole. >> others, though, were more skeptical. >> i don't know one person that has taken bart that says this is fantastic. >> daniel mauk says while he thinks public transportation is important, he'd be hesitant to vote yes unless some of the money also went to improving the services provided. >> it's hard to justify spending more money for a transit system that is not really that great. >> and that sentiment is something both policymakers and the transit agencies themselves are really well aware of. during today's meeting, several people acknowledged that even if a funding measure made it onto the ballot, it would not be an easy thing to get passed. i'm live in the newsroom. tim johnson, abc seven news. >> all right, tim, thank you to the accuweather forecast. and another day of sizzling heat in parts of the bay area. abc seven news meteorologist sandhya patel has details of the heat advisory, but it's not lasting for long. right, sandhya? that's

right. karina, i get the sense that you're happy about it and with good reason. take a look at the highs so far as we look at a sunny san rafael 102 in livermore. it was steamy. fairfield 100 degrees. concord 9793, san jose 95. and santa rosa got up to 85 in napa. still hot inland, brentwood is at 98 degrees right now. 71 in oakland, 64, in the city. north bay numbers 92, calistoga 91. in sonoma. that heat advisory is going until 8 p.m. tonight for the east bay valleys and hills. there's still a risk of heat related illnesses because of this weather, so keep that in mind. but that weather is changing. you can see the marine layer southerly surge develop and it worked its way up the coastline, which is why we're seeing so much fog out there along the coast. and those temperatures are dropping as a result. 18 degrees cooler right now in napa, down 15 in oakland, 11 degrees in san jose and nine in san francisco. going hour by hour this evening, still pretty

warm at 6:00 inland but along the coastline, cooling rapidly. and then as we head into the morning hours, you will notice a lot more fog. everyone's going to get relief tomorrow. i'll be back with the full forecast coming right up. karina. dan. >> all right, sandhya, thanks very much. in just about an hour, thousands of a's fans will pack into the coliseum as the oakland athletics approach their final game ever. that will be thursday at the coliseum. >> abc seven sports anchor chris alvarez is there for what will be some of the most emotional games ever played at the coliseum. and chris, what is the mood there like right now? what are you hearing from fans? >> hey dan and karina, the fans are starting to kind of pack in here right now, and i'll tell you, i drove up to the ballpark. i've been here so many times over the years and really over my life, both as a fan and as a member of the media. and there was just a sense of sadness, finality coming to what is going to happen here over the next three days. and it begins tonight. they take on the texas

rangers final three home games here for the oakland a's. it is hard to believe we have some footage of you, footage for you from earlier in the day. so much history has been made in this ballpark. you see the names that have played here, the world championships that have been won here in just a few days. the a's going to play their final game here. we caught up with the manager, mark kotsay, who also played for the a's during his career, as well as bruce bochy, the manager of the rangers, former longtime manager of the giants, about what this place means to the bay area. >> this whole series, is an opportunity for the fans to come. and really, i think some fans have already come and kind of seen it for the last time to take it in for the last time to share it with their families. the history and what it means, but not not just for the fans, but but for every employee here. from the top to the bottom, are dealing with it in different ways, and i think thursday will be a just a, a send off in a very special way. >> it's been a fun place to

play, the atmosphere, the fans, you know, i, i always enjoyed my time here, and it's hard to believe it's, you know, this is going to be the last series i, you know what? i'm glad that i'm here for it. it's going to be exciting. >> so thursday is a 1237 first pitch. it is a sellout. that will be the final game here. and a lot of a's fans and people that have been to this building have a memory. my memory actually comes from when i was a young member of the media. 15 years ago. my brother had a high school showcase here, and i had a chance to interview him as a high school senior. i have a photo of me and him and how cool that was for me back then and now, to be here in this moment and to cover that game on thursday, it will be kind of a full circle moment. now it's just really hard to believe we've seen the raiders leave here. obviously the warriors across the bay. it's going to be a sad day and we'll just wait and see how the fans and everyone reacts. i'm sure they're not going to leave the building on thursday afternoon. >> oh no question. that just so

hard to see the a's leave after so many other losses. but it will be a great, meaningful next couple of days. thanks so much, chris. >> yeah, the capitola wharf is ready for its big comeback. a year long renovation project is complete after storm damage took out part of the wharf last year. we'll get a first look. >> and it means big business for san francisco today. an update on the state of tourism in the

now, after a year of cleanup and repairs, a grand opening is set for tomorrow. well, we couldn't wait. and abc seven news reporter zach fuentes was there reporting on the flooding. and now he's there for the wharf's comeback from the storm. >> the finishing touches are being put in place for the grand opening of the capitola wharf wednesday. a long awaited moment for many locals. >> new smiles, new attitude. capitola. let's enjoy this together. >> severe storms and wave swells ripped out the middle of the wharf in january 2023. more storms in december of that year. in january of this year only made things worse. >> this is what we had before. >> david morris and his sister own capitola boat and bait, one of the businesses at the end of the wharf. their original building had to be demolished this year. >> stressful, tear jerking. a loss of business for two seasons. you know, hundreds of thousands of dollars. people's

employment was gone. you know, we had 12 employees. now we have one other than my sister and myself. >> but since august, the wharf has quietly reopened to the public. capitola public works director jessica kahn said it's now even wider and stronger than before. >> the stability of the wharf has improved just because it has a wider base, and so we are also able to put permanent restroom facilities out here as well, here at the base of the wharf. >> kahn says plans to renovate the wharf were approved ten years ago, and that the project was just getting underway when the storm damage happened. but despite setbacks due to storms earlier this year, the $10.15 million project is finally complete. that includes extra touches that were funded by a community group formed to beautify the wharf. >> the entry gate is completely brand new, has some local artist art on it, and as well as some other art on the railing, new benches and new light fixtures that are still on their way. >> still, not everything is back to normal. the restaurant that once shared the end of the wharf with morriss's business has not

returned, and morris is still working to bring his business back to what it was. >> it's going to take us a few more years, but we're out here and it's a start. >> right now, the buildings are only temporary, and the city of capitola tells me that that's on purpose. they've just launched a long term study to explore possible options for permanent facilities. at the end of the wharf in capitola. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> we got a positive update today on whether tourists are returning to san francisco in significant numbers. in short, there is still a slump. but experts say that's because many people are heading abroad, because it's in some ways it's cheaper. right now. but the bay area's future looks bright with the nba all star game and super bowl coming to the region, there's a lot of domestic travelers that are going international, and that's really what's impacted our forecast this year and what's impacting the market more than anything is that weekend occupancy and the rates are coming down. >> so we're set up really well for a couple of strong years of growth. we feel like these special events are also going to impact pace moving forward. more eyes on the city, more interest

in san francisco, the number of people coming to town for conventions is picking up. >> that's good, but it's still lagging from where it was a plan to improve a big water supply in the bay area is all washed up. why? the water district pulled out of the plan. they also said you couldn't escape from alcatraz. but watch me do both. other candidates want to tear down san francisco, but i'll build on what's already great to make it even better.

if not now rallied at the san francisco offices of the jewish community relations council, the american jewish committee and the jewish federation. their goal is to urge those organizations to join them in calling for the u.s. government to stop sending weapons to israel. >> if we don't act now with our collective voice and the to speak to the u.s. government and enact an arms embargo, then we're going to, you know, lose so many more lives. >> the group held a similar rally earlier this month, but says it is intensifying their efforts in light of israel's attacks in lebanon. >> in the east bay, plans for the expansion of los vaqueros reservoir have been scrapped. the contra costa water district decided it's not viable due to increased costs and regulations. permit requirements reduce the amount of water agencies can expect from the project without the district's participation, the project will be nearly

impossible to continue and the money designated from state and federal agencies will not be used. the reservoir provides water for more than half a million people in central and eastern contra contra costa county. >> all right. well, let's turn to the weather now and talk about this heat again today. but it is easing. >> yes. abc seven news meteorologist sandyha patel has some good news for anyone that's done with the heat. that's right. dan and karina, we're going to basically say farewell to the hot weather, at least for a day, and we're going to enjoy much cooler conditions. let me show you some live views right now from our tower cameras. they're all pretty much with the exception of san rafael, showing you the marine layer, which is going to be a bigger player in our forecast right now. you can still feel the heat around brentwood, fairfield, concord, livermore, danville, saint helena. these places are all in the 90s and 100 still, 64 in the city, 71 in oakland, 83 san jose. right now it is 85. in santa rosa. so earlier in the day, the southerly surge

developed. that fog rushed up along the coastline and that that's what has driven our temperatures down, especially along the coastline. and around the bay. right now on live doppler seven, we have a lot of fog. it's going to stretch out as we head towards the overnight hours. here's the reason why all those changes are happening. high pressure is starting to shift east. this area of low pressure is starting to draw up the marine layer and also bring in the onshore winds a little bit stronger, 22 miles an hour in san francisco. and that will help to push that marine layer along the winds will remain gusty as we head into the evening hours and even into tomorrow, which will help to take those temperatures down. bright view from san rafael camera tonight. the marine layer expands. tomorrow we're looking at breezy and much cooler weather, and your weekend weather will have near average temperatures. so today many areas, especially around the bay and inland, were well above average anywhere from the mid 60s coast side to the low 100 seconds inland. here's what's going to happen tonight. that marine layer pushes in by 1030.

it's already pushed into the north bay. east bay is already seeing it. and you will notice tomorrow morning we wake up to gray skies for many areas and higher clouds start to drift in above the marine layer. so we're going to have a little more cloud cover and certainly is going to be cooler. your morning temperatures, 50s and 60s tomorrow afternoon temperatures in the south bay, 80 degrees in san jose and gilroy, 82 in morgan hill. it's going to be a lot different compared to today. 69 in san mateo, low 60s coast side with clouds lingering. san francisco 64 degrees. you may need that extra layer for tomorrow in the north bay low 60s, bodega bay, stinson beach 76, in san rafael, 78, in santa rosa, 74 napa. upper 60s berkeley, oakland, 76, in castro valley, head inland. there's no heat here. it's going to be very comfortable. 80 walnut creek, 82, in livermore. here's a look at the accuweather seven day forecast. it's going to be breezy and much cooler tomorrow. minor rebound for thursday and friday. you'll feel that heat

again inland mid 90s there. upper 60s coast. but it turns cooler over the weekend near average. and then a wide range of temperatures early next week. so karina and dan we're going to bring you

goes treasure island. the facility will span eight and a half acres and include a 20,000 square foot clubhouse and three practice fields. bay fc founding member and bay area sports legend brandi chastain says this

is a big moment to be a little girl growing up in this great community. >> not having anything that resembles you. as an example. was really difficult, but it didn't stop allie and danielle and myself and leslie from having. >> bay fc wants t grow the system, exploit the system.
