brothers could be resentenced and likely released always live. >> abc seven news starts right now. >> tense moments this afternoon at an east bay school as it was locked down for a shooting investigation. this is caliper bay academy in san pablo. we learned from the contra costa county sheriff's office the shooting took place off campus and there were no injuries. investigators say there is no connection between the school and the shooting. >> also in the east bay, at least one person was injured this afternoon in a shooting in berkeley. police received a number of reports of gunshots near the intersection of henry street and berkeley way. that's about a block from the western edge of uc berkeley's campus. when officers arrived, they found a number of shell casings on the ground. investigators say a short time later, a person showed up at highland hospital in oakland. the victim's injuries are not life threatening, but the investigation continues. good evening. thank you for joining us. i'm dan ashley, and i'm

karina nova. >> now to the california connection to the e coli outbreak linked to mcdonald's quarter pounders. >> federal food experts believe raw sliced onions are the culprit here. they say the onions were grown in salinas and sent to a taylor farms facility in colorado. >> taylor farms, based here in california, is recalling its onions. >> abc seven news reporter suzanne fawn has new details, which include a lawsuit. >> e coli hasn't really been usually linked to onions before. >> federal investigators now believe raw sliced onions are to blame for a deadly e coli outbreak involving quarter pounder hamburgers at mcdonald's, the u.s. centers for disease control and prevention says the quarter pounders are linked to 49 cases of e coli food poisoning across ten states. one person has died. mcdonald's pulled the quarter pounder burgers off the menu at 20% of its stores in the u.s, and now other fast food restaurants, including taco bell pizza hut, kfc and burger king are pulling onions from some menus, according to mcdonald's

officials. taylor farms of salinas sent onions to one distribution facility. taylor farms has recalled peeled and diced yellow onions for potential e coli contamination. the recalled onions went from salinas to a taylor farms facility in colorado, according to a u.s. food spokesperson. taylor farms issued a statement this afternoon saying, quote, we test both raw and finished products for pathogens and have found no traces of e coli. we've never seen e coli o157, h7 associated with onions in the past. >> we just finished with our stone fruits like peaches, nectarines at the thursday farmers market at san francisco's ferry building, a local grower talked about how production at small farms differs from larger ones, such as taylor farms. >> ramon rojas is with rojas family farms in tulare by fresn. >> we produce pretty small amounts of fruit, which gives us a lot more time to give more attention to detail. what we try to do is do as much quality control as we can, look over the

crops. and again, in big companies, you may not have that same attention to detail. >> doctor peter chin-hong, professor of medicine at ucsf, says this e coli outbreak is a reminder of the importance of rigorous food safety standards for all producers in 1993, when there was a big outbreak in meat and jack in the box, that led to a lot of improvements in meat production. >> but i think now with more and more vegetables being implicated, you know, we have to think about other things and have new strategies like thinking about the irrigation system to try to keep our food supply as safe as possible. >> in san francisco, suzanne phan, abc seven news. >> oakland mayor shengtao continues to fight the recall campaign against her. today, her supporters focused on money allegedly coming from the coal industry to fund the campaign to oust her. but her opponents say tao has ties to coal, too. abc seven news reporter anser hassan has the story. >> this recall isn't about me. it's about the city of oakland.

it's about making sure that oakland doesn't actually nosedive into chaos. >> with less than two weeks until election day, oakland mayor shengtao is again defending her record in a bid to stay in office. she points to the cleanup of the homeless encampment on wood street. big drops in crime and the city's lowest homicide rate since 2019. >> this is the first year that we are on track to have less than 100 homicides. and again, that's nothing to brag about, but it's a huge accomplishment. >> tao was joined by community leaders concerned about the money behind the recall. they allege the coal industry is bankrolling the recall effort. >> these recalls are not coming from the people. they are not people powered. they are not people that went door to door and knocked on our residents doors and said, hey, do you agree with this? they are powered by money, by corporate money. >> they presented evidence indicating that phyllis dreyfus, a hedge fund manager at farallon capital, is bankrolling 85% of the recall campaign and that farallon invested $2 billion in

the coal industry right after i got in office. >> i actually was requested to have a meeting with the coal people where they passed me a binder that said, you know, that coal is not dirty, that somehow coal they can make coal clean. and to invoke my support for it. and i unapologetically said no. >> the group oakland united to recall shengtao is leading the recall campaign to force tao out. it confirmed to abc seven news that it is getting money from dreyfus, but not from farallon. farallon did not return requests for comment, but judge brenda bonforte, who launched the recall, claims that tao has also taken money from the coal industry. >> problem in terms of the coal is how much money mayor chiang tao has herself taken from the coal industry. john brooke, a coal magnate, was a major donor to tao's 2022 campaign and greg mcconnell, a coal lobbyist, hosted a fundraiser for tao.

>> when asked about those claims, tao's office responded by saying brooks and mcconnell made donations without disclosing their identities and suggested it was done to make it look like tao took money from the coal industry. they say tao returned the donations in oakland, anser hassan. abc seven news. >> nearly 200 court workers in san francisco walked off the job today for a single day strike. the court stayed open, but some cases, including the murder trial of the man accused of killing cashapp founder, bob lee, were impacted. the union is accusing the courts managers of not negotiating in good faith. it says that staffing, technology and training issues are leading to a massive backlog. court officials say its budget has been cut $2.5 million by the state and released a statement saying it is unfortunate that seiu has decided to disrupt court services. after our many hours of negotiations and a mediation session to reach a fair contract

that reflects the economic impacts from the state's reduction in funding. embattled san jose city council member omar torres is now requesting a 30 day leave of absence, citing mental health concerns. it comes amid a sexual misconduct investigation involving a minor. abc seven news reporter dustin dorsey has been following the story and explains how frustrations are mounting within city hall. >> surrounded by controversy with allegations of sexual misconduct involving minors, and through it all, council member omar torres has been nowhere to be found. his colleague brian dewan says all avenues of removing torres from his position have to be on the table. if we don't do anything then shame on us. >> this is not about council member torres. this is about our constituents. this is about our city. this is about our pride and our moral fortitude to do the right thing. >> torres has missed the last two city council meetings amid a criminal investigation into sexual misconduct involving

illicit messages about minors. he has now requested a 30 day medical leave of absence, saying in a city memorandum the allegations made against me have significantly impacted my emotional and mental well-being. city leaders excused his absence from a council meeting on october 8th for an undisclosed illness. dewan voted against that and will not accept his request to miss more. >> we will not accept anything else but his resignation in order to move our city towards a new direction with dignity, respect and trust that we need to bring back to the city hall. >> torres can be removed from office if he has five unexcused absences through a recall, or if the council decides to hold a formal hearing. but legal analyst steven clark says protections involving mental health makes this a challenging situation. you want to be very sympathetic and to that situation, but it's understandable if some members on the council say, well, this is a late development, particularly when you're alleging that your mental health problems are related to your

underlying conduct and what got you into this mess in the first place. in the memorandum, torres also said, i am committed to returning to my duties once i have had sufficient time to address these health concerns and regain the mental strength required to serve the community effectively. but with growing frustration from residents and leaders returning to his council seat may not be an option. in san jose. dustin dorsey, abc7 news. >> new developments about a vandalism spree that caused $500,000 worth of damage at three san francisco bart stations. bart police arrested a 20 year old eight year old man. they say caused all of this. at least 29 large glass panels were shattered this month at the entrances of the embarcadero, montgomery and powell stations. the suspect was spotted riding a train this week and then detained. erik and lyle menendez could get out of prison very soon. today, the los angeles county district attorney recommended the brothers be resentenced. both are serving life in prison without the

possibility of parole for murdering their parents in 1989. da george gascon made this announcement as new evidence is being reviewed, which appears to back the brothers assertion that they suffered years of abuse by their father. gascon acknowledged there are some people in his office who disagree with the decision. during his announcement, he focused on what's happened since the brothers went to prison. >> we're very sure not only that, the brothers have rehabilitated and that they will be safe to be reintegrated into society, but that they have paid their dues not only for the crimes that they committed, but because of all the other things they have done to improve the lives of so many others. >> gascon is going to recommend 50 years to life with the possibility of parole. since the menendez brothers were under the age of 26 at the time of the crime, now this could clear the way for their immediate release. you can immerse yourself in in-depth coverage of this case with the abc news documentary

on the ballot. what decisions you'll be making when you vote today. reporter gabe faris, from our sister station in fresno looks at california's proposition 32. the minimum wage initiative californians will take their wages into their own hands at the ballot box in november in front of voters. >> proposition 32, it would raise the minimum wage from 16 to $18 an hour. supporters call it the california living wage act. >> sometimes you have to change

policy and state law to impact the most amount of workers. >> dylan savory is the executive director of the central labor council. he works with thousands of workers, many with minimum wage jobs, who he says often struggle to make ends meet. >> they're bringing in a really small amount of money, and they're dedicating all of that to their basic needs, and they don't have health care. >> the proposition faces pushback from the business community, including the california grocers association, the california restaurant association, and the california chamber of commerce. >> the underlying question should be why are our costs so high in california? >> california chamber of commerce ceo jennifer barrera says it doesn't address the root cause of inflation. she's concerned that proposition 32 is a one size fits all approach that could force businesses to choose between further raising costs for consumers and laying off employees. >> it doesn't treat an employer who has a larger profit margin, as they claim, any different than it treats somebody who has a very razor thin profit margin.

>> the proposition wouldn't apply to independent contractors or self-employed workers. and since some cities already have higher minimum wages, it wouldn't impact them. there's also a carve out for fast food workers who have their own $20 minimum wage. >> thousands and thousands of workers locally will benefit from proposition 32 passing, but millions of californians will also do so. >> if it passes in november, wages will go up to $17 an hour right away. it would then go up to $18 in january 2025. but the raise would be gradual for small businesses until 2026. >> ultimately, there will be no distinction. after one year. it will be the same minimum wage, no matter if you're a smaller employer or larger employer. >> if proposition 32 fails, the minimum wage would be about $17 come 2026. either way, wages will continue to rise based on inflation. >> that's gabe farris reporting there are a total of ten statewide propositions on the ballot. >> many californians may vote by mail, but what happens if you make a mistake on your ballot?

kim alexander from california voter foundation explains what to do. >> let's say you wanted to vote yes on a proposition, but you voted no. what you can do is cross out the choice that you made. fill in the choice that you want to make, and then just draw a little arrow indicating that's your choice. or write yes next to it. we have a lot in california that protects voter intent. so as long as election officials can accurately figure out what you intended to do, they will count your ballot. you don't want to sign it or initial it. you just want to indicate this is the choice that i wanted to make. >> if you still need to fill out your ballot, we are here to help. go to abc seven news.com/election for a summary of the state propositions on the ballot, as well as election headlines from around the bay area and across the country. >> i don't usually discuss politics, but i vote yes on this. whether. oh, yes. >> me too. we're in agreement. this is great. let's get a check on it with sandhya patel. how's

it looking? well, if you guys are voting yes, then we're going to keep it going. all right, dan and karina, you've got to see the sunset. i mean, it is absolutely spectacular from our mount tam cam right now. official sunset time here in san francisco. 619. you see a few high, thin, wispy clouds. we see a lot of color there. let's take a look at the forecast for this evening. if you're stepping out inland areas in the upper 60s by 9 p.m, you're coming down into the low 60s. calm conditions. a few passing high clouds around the bay from the mid 60s to the upper 50s by 11 p.m, so that's when you might need that jacket. and then around the coastal areas certainly layer up from the upper 50s coming down to the mid 50s and then low 50s by 11 p.m, with the cloud cover starting to increase. right now we are just in a nice quiet pattern. today this system is going to send us some clouds, and then this system is going to bring us the opportunity for some wet weather in the middle

of all this. we're going to mix it up. we do have a major category five hurricane, kristi, expected to bring rip current risk to western coast of baja. also bring them some large swells, but here's the deal from the national hurricane center, 160 mile an hour winds expected to weaken rapidly tomorrow, so no threat to land as far as rain and wind and all that. but leftover clouds from that system headed in our direction this weekend. so you might even get a little bit of a humid feel. live view from santa cruz. it is clear 64, in san francisco, low 70s oakland. hayward. today's highs, by the way, managed to get up into the mid 70s to low 80s 74 in san jose and 77 in redwood city. look at this lovely view from emeryville. you can see sutro tower. it's a great time of year. 72 in santa rosa. it is 64, in petaluma, you're in the 70s from fairfield to livermore and napa, 69 degrees exploratorium camera looking out towards the bay. still in the clear tomorrow through saturday. more clouds, still mild. sunday is going to be cooler. you're going to see

spotty showers and early next week breezy and cool fall weather will continue, so your morning temperatures will be in the 40s and the 50s. partly cloudy skies to mostly cloudy skies tomorrow afternoon, mid 60s to low 80s. still pretty mild. you'll see a lot more sun for the second half of your day. then here comes the system that's going to bring us first some drizzle sunday morning, then some showers. really spotty. the main energy goes well to our north sierra will see a rain snow mix. and when you add all the moisture up, it is only going to amount to a few hundredths of an inch for the bay area under a 10th, a little above a quarter for ukiah. the accuweather seven day forecast. we'll keep this mild pattern going for a couple more days, but more cloud cover, and then temperatures drop. raindrops come in on sunday. we'll keep it on the cool, breezy side to start the week, but don't worry as we head towards halloween. right now it is looking spooktacular so for all the trick or treaters, a little rain. great for halloween. you got it all covered. so far, so good, i like it.

>> all right, some sad news to share from our professional long time abc news journalist tom gerald has passed away. he worked at abc news for 38 years, the weekend report. >> here's tom gerald. good evening. despite allegations gerald anchored abc's weekend report, he was also a 2020 correspondent over his career, gerald covered martin luther king jr. >> s assassination and was the chief white house correspondent covering presidents nixon and ford. he won six emmys for his work. tom gerald was 89. we'll be back.

evan low. caught again. his tactics called "outrageous" and "self-serving." slapped with charges that he illegally used banned corporate money for his campaign. low's already under investigation for running a corrupt scheme to give political access to big money donors. but when it comes to fighting for us... low's missed nearly 1,000 votes...

from affordable housing to climate change. evan low only serves himself. today. deebo samuel back on the field. now he was limited in participation as he tries to bounce back from a case of pneumonia. the 40 niners will host the cowboys on sunday night football this week. brock purdy coming off a nightmare game. three picks in the loss to the chiefs spending this week trying to find a rhythm with receivers like ricky pearsall, the rookie and chris conley. they're going to be opportunities for backups with brandon aiyuk done for the year. >> two and a half years of playing so far in this system. understanding my timing, my rhythm within this offense, with new guys coming in, i can definitely tell them like, hey, this is what bay has done really well. j.j, deebo and this is where i'm expecting you guys to be. so they're all ears. they listen real well. they're willing to be coached, which is great. and more than anything, we just want to win. >> after a rough shooting first quarter, the warriors cruised in their season opener at portland last night. steph curry just one rebound away from a triple double. new guy buddy hield who's your buddy. he had 22 points. steve kerr's planning on a 12 man rotation which is unprecedented. it's a new approach. we'll see how that

works out. but the more things change the more they stay the same. draymond green got teed up in the second quarter. so that puts him on pace for an nba record 82 technicals. i don't think he's going to get that uh- a kinder gentler day day. the warriors need that fire to win. but game one draymond really espn. stephen a smith on first take asking a really simple question. >> you know you're going to beat portland. why why get a technical. why second quarter. why for what. why. you said there's nothing inside of you that says we got this. we ain't worried about it. it's game one. it's no big deal. there's nothing inside of you that says that. >> why klay thompson making his mavs debut tonight against the spurs. first quarter klay pull up jumper gets the shooter's bounce. and that was his first basket as a mavs luka doncic on the inbound. and this is classic catch and shoot quick release. the three is up. splash play

with eight points at the half. third quarter klay kind of feeling it here super quick trigger. and later with the mavs on the move. luka will find the trailer. that would be klay thompson when he's feeling it you better check him. klay this game is almost final one 2109 klay with 22 points as the mavs are going to win tonight. former warriors big man james wiseman continues to have just the worst possible luck. he tore his achilles last night in the pacers season opener. you can see him looking right there looking back to see what's. did somebody kick me in the leg or what happened. and that's the telltale sign of a torn achilles. wiseman poor guy has had a series of injuries when he played for golden state. he will likely miss the rest of this season really before it's even started. almost a party time for the new york liberty. they celebrated their first wnba championship in downtown manhattan. you see sabrina ionescu right there from walnut creek, tossing out t shirts and confetti for everybody. sports

on abc seven is sponsored by smart and final. so after the warriors game last night, steph curry mentioned he really likes the chemistry on this team. going to be hard to play 12 or 13 guys. but he said you cannot bring negative energy into the locker room if you're not getting playing time or you're not playing well. a lot of people interpreted that as kind of a reference to klay. the past couple of years were really rough, but they feel like they have a good, cohesive group now. well, let's hope so. and klay can have a great time in dallas. so everybody wins. off to a good start. yeah thanks larry. all right. >> and tonight on abc seven at eight you can catch 9-1-1 followed at nine by doctor odyssey. then at ten it's gray's anatomy. then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. remember abc seven news is streaming 24 seven. you can get the abc seven bay area app and join us wherever you want, wherever you are. and that's it for this edition of abc seven news. i'm karina nova and i'm dan ashley for sandyha patel, larry beil, all of us. >> we appreciate your time. hope you have a nice evening and that

they're giving the 2024 vintage a thumbs up despite some challenging growing conditions. >> big relief. abc seven news reporter cornell bernard has more now from wine country. >> reporter it's the last day of grape pressing at rombauer vineyards in saint helena. a purple rain of fruit from the 2024 harvest is being collected by senior winemaker richie allen and his crew. >> so here this is some cabernet from saint helena. so we can just tell by the aroma and the

intensity of aroma. this is a high quality lot. it has the right amount of extract and tannin that we want. >> allen says the quality of grapes is looking good, despite a lot of challenges during the growing season. >> right out of the gate, i think from june really all the way to harvest here in you know, early october, we saw pretty expansive heat. >> napa valley grape growers and vintners sharing thoughts. they say extreme heat was a huge concern. >> like 38 to 40 days above 100 degrees. so that's a pretty big difference from years past, especially from 2023, where we had maybe 8 to 10. >> but growers say late rains and a cool spring came to the rescue. >> early on we had early rain close to the start of the growing season that i think has has helped. and there was good canopy growth. >> i always say good harvest is when nothing goes wrong, and while it's been warm and we've had some warm weather, nothing has gone wrong. >> one of the biggest challenges of the harvest has nothing to do

with growing grapes. it's the fact that global wine consumption has declined in recent years. inflation and younger consumers opting for other beverages are a few factors in the decline. >> wine sales are not what they used to be. >> no one is too worried about the trend yet. >> the wine is still the number one thing that people go to at the dinner table. so it's now it's how do we get people to enhance that? and how do we bring people back to it? and that's what drives innovation. >> winemakers say in about a year, they'll know how good the 2024 vintage really is in the napa valley. cornell, bernard abc seven news. >> if you call, when do they come? we're talking about police response times in san francisco. >> and how long does it take police to respond? >> they don't respond. >> next, see how far san francisco police is from its goal and what's being blamed as the reason

and research on pain relief, my recommendation is simple: every home should have salonpas. powerful yet non-addictive. targeted and long-lasting. i recommend salonpas. it's good medicine. ♪ hisamitsu ♪ washington loves to talk. it's good medicine. i love to get stuff done. it's who i am. as mayor, i tackled homelessness... ...added 200 officers in 4 years... and saved our taxpayers $3 billion dollars. i've already got a plan to lower your grocery and insurance bills, to address climate change, and protect reproductive rights. and i'll work with anyone to get it done.

i'm sam liccardo and i approve this message.

you that people have stopped reporting some crimes because the police take so long to respond or just don't respond at all. >> abc seven news building a

better bay area reporter lyanne melendez is here with a look at what is a real issue. >> yeah, we did this story about a year and a half ago, and we found that not much has changed. and police say, yeah, they're facing a lot of challenges now. we're not focusing here on how long it takes police in san francisco to respond to violent and life threatening crimes. we're talking about the crimes that affect a lot of you. for example, burglaries and damage to property. now, police continue to lag behind. and here's why things may not get better anytime soon. monday mid-morning, we captured what store workers tell us is a typical occurrence at the walgreens on market and ninth streets in san francisco. an employee is on the phone with a 9-1-1 dispatcher to report the incident, while another employee yells at the woman, hey, the two employees are now describing what's happening while on the phone. >> everything is getting

everything now. >> she continues to put items in her bag despite knowing that she's being recorded on a cell phone, and that the incident is being reported to 9-1-1. she then calmly walks out of the store. when this crime happened, the security officer was at lunch. we wanted to talk to them, so we returned a few days later and interviewed security. have you seen this woman before? >> all the time. >> all the time. >> usually it's every day. every other day. >> and what does she do when she comes? >> they just usually go through the aisles and fill up and leave. >> she fills up and leaves. is there anything that you can do about it? >> no. they don't let us touch them anymore. >> so the company has said, don't touch them. yep. and how long does it take police to respond? >> they don't respond. >> and shoplifters know it. >> they're in and out of the store in 2 or 3 minutes, and they're out the door. and you

know, by the time the store reports that people are long gone. >> even after the store reports it, police admit it takes them too long to respond. here's the data on the police department's response time when dealing with nonviolent crimes, such as a burglary. so far this month, it has taken police almost 30 minutes to respond. the target is 20 minutes. the last time they met that goal was in the first four months of the covid pandemic, when shelter in place orders were in effect. police say they may not meet that goal for years to come because and stop me if you've heard this one before. >> the fact remains that we are down 500 officers and that number is probably growing roughly getting close to 500, almost 600 officers below where we should be. >> the truth is that sfpd has struggled for years to recruit new officers, and that was even before the murder of george floyd by a minneapolis police officer in 2020, when there was

a call nationwide to defund the police. still in san francisco in august 2020, some lawmakers called for cuts to police funding and the cancellation of the upcoming four police academies. >> i would actually propose to eliminate all four. it's about the system that is rotten to its core. >> even the mayor initially agreed that changes had to be made, but when property crimes escalated, london breed took a different stance and less tolerant of all the. that has destroyed our city. we will expand recruitment strategies and work to retain officers. even that supervisor who called for defunding the police later complained that her district was lacking in law enforcement officers. >> and i look at these numbers and i'm like, i've been begging this department to give them mission, what it deserves in terms of police presence all year long. and i have been told

time and time and time and time again, there are no officers. >> in the end, the police department's budget was never cut. but police say the rhetoric did lasting damage. recruitment has been a challenge even when earlier this month, the mayor and the police chief welcomed its largest police academy class since 2018. for people who have been victims or have witnessed thefts, there is fatigue and resignation that little will be done to curb it from happening again. take this man who was apparently stealing from another walgreens in the noe valley neighborhood. does this happen? a lot? yeah, that happened a lot. it wasn't until we began recording that the employee offered to contact police. >> i can call the police if you want to. >> it's your store. do you think they don't report because they think nothing is going to happen to these people? >> it might be it. i mean, there is that sort of psychological thing where if you feel like,

well, they're not going to come or they're going to come in an hour from now, i'm not going to bother. but the police department, we don't know this is happening. if people aren't making reports, then we're unaware that this is going on. >> now police are also counting on new technology to help them when going after people through prop e. now, this was approved by voters last march. now police will now have license plate readers and drones at their disposal. the thing i'm seeing also is that some people think it's normalized, you know, become complacent. oh, it's happening. >> well, these videos that you've taken of shoplifters, the one you had that went viral a couple of years ago with somebody on a bicycle. right. it is shocking, right? okay, so it takes the police about 30 minutes to respond to a nonviolent crime. that's one thing. what about a violent crime? >> i'm glad you asked that, because they are doing a much better job there. so the goal is eight minutes. i think they're responding in 8.7. so closer to nine. so they're very close. but compare that to 2016 when it was about six minutes. so there's

work to be done. >> all right. yeah. on all fronts. yeah leon thank you. sure. coming up next, plans for the future of a bay area freeway tonight. how the history of interstate 980 influences what people think should be done with it in the future. >> plus, an innovative new solution to capture greenhouse gases. how uc berkeley researchers created a magic sponge for the air that we you may be at risk for developing geographic atrophy, or ga. ga can be unpredictable—and progress rapidly—leading to irreversible vision loss. now there's something you can do to... ♪ ( slow. it. down.) ♪ ♪ ( get it goin' slower.)♪ ask your doctor about izervay. ♪ (i. zer. vay.) ♪ ♪ ( gets ga goin' slower.) ♪ izervay is an eye injection. don't take it if you have an infection or active swelling in or around your eye. izervay can cause eye infection, retinal detachment, or increased risk of wet amd. izervay may temporarily increase eye pressure.
