says they're now back to square one. he and other advocates hope local officials at least find a short term solution. >> the really sad part of this is nobody listens to us unless somebody dies. it shouldn't be that way. when we say the streets aren't safe. unfortunately, we don't get a lot of positive feedback in san carlos. >> lauren martinez, abc seven news. >> a sad update tonight to a story we've been following. one of the kids injured in a shooting at a butte county school last week may never walk again. the family of five year old elias wolford shared the update today on his health, and said he has not moved his legs. they say an mri showed a bullet had damaged his spinal cord. another boy, who is six years old, is also recovering from his injuries. investigators say the gunman used a ruse to get on the campus before opening fire during recess. he then took his own life. advocates for criminal justice reform are praising a record shattering act of clemency from the white house.

self-serving here in the bay area. >> former fci dublin inmates and their advocates are calling on biden to pardon the hundreds of women sexually abused by prison workers in the now shuttered prison. >> if biden can pardon his own son, he can grant clemency and commute the sentences of people who have suffered heinous abuse at the at the hands of federal officials. >> and while some former dublin inmates were commuted today, it wasn't because of any potential abuse. meanwhile, the professor says the use of the presidential pardon is being reshaped. >> the hunter biden pardon follows in a path that trump set us on, which is of pardoning people who are allies and in some way affiliated with the president. >> a path the incoming president will most likely continue down. >> trump has already said that he plans to pardon the january 6th rioters. on day one. >> america was founded on the

premise of second chances. >> the white house today saying the president will continue to review pardons and commutations in his final days in office, reiterating his intent on granting clemency to people convicted of nonviolent crimes and sentenced under outdated laws. tara campbell, abc seven news. >> president elect trump says he has met with the union that represents dock workers around the country to talk about automation. they went on strike in october and that was one of the issues. the strike did not impact the port of oakland, but could in the future. they did agree to wage increases, but nothing was hammered out on the automation of ports. in a social media post today, the president elect pointed the finger at foreign companies and said they should be hiring the dock workers instead of laying them off. uc berkeley is sending a message to international students that they should get to campus before inauguration day, with the real possibility of a travel ban after donald trump takes office. cal is warning students to prepare. stanford

facing an outbreak. it's the fourth bird flu outbreak in the county this year. wildlife officials say all the birds were humanely euthanized. workers there are trying to mitigate the spread of the virus. there have been no human cases reported in sacramento county, but the cdc reports 58 confirmed cases across the country, with 32 of them in california. and there's a growing concern about drinking raw or unpasteurized milk. in los angeles county, they're investigating two possible cases of bird flu in cats that drank raw milk. they both died and had a rare positive result for the avian influenza. as for people, public health officials have linked at least ten illnesses to raw milk across california since a recent recall, but none of them were bird flu cases. it was a essentially that is a must win game for the san francisco 40 niners, taking on the los angeles rams on a rainy night at levi's stadium. abc7 news sports

director larry beil joins us live tonight. what a disappointing game all around. >> a disappointing game, a disappointing season filled with injuries. the niners and rams, they both needed this game to have a realistic shot at the playoffs. the niners could not do anything on offense and they lose 12 to 6. weather definitely a factor here. and you know what? the grinch was in the house which seemed appropriate. he stole the niners playoff spot. earlier this week deebo samuel was on social media asking for more passes to be thrown his way. brock purdy hits him in stride. dropped. that might have been a touchdown. deebo three catches for 16 yards. late fourth quarter with the niners driving for a potential game winning touchdown here. and brock purdy airmails this ball picked off. niners lose 12 six. here's abc seven sarah hodges with reaction. >> well larry the 40 niners watched their playoff hopes slip away in a rainy, lackluster divisional showdown here at levi's. not a touchdown thrown by either team. brock purdy he took that personally, especially the interception he threw in

enemy territory. >> that's what's hurting me is i just feel like i failed the team. you know, that i could have been better for our offense, and we could have put up more points for the way that we play on offense and our standard. i could have been better, for sure. >> any quarterback that has ever played for the niners, just an automatic spotlight on you. and i love him for, you know, doing that and taking the blame. but it's not on him. >> it's not nice to see his teammates have his back right. playoff hopes on life support. but there's still games left on the schedule. next up it's the dolphins in miami from levi's stadium. sarah hodges abc seven. >> all right thank you sarah. and this was really weird. we learned after the game that 40 niners linebacker de'vondre campbell told the coaches he just didn't want to play in the third quarter after dre greenlaw came out, like quit on the team. needless to say, that did not go over well with campbell's teammates. in fact, charvarius ward, he was interviewed and he said, you know what? that is sucker stuff to me. so i would

expect that de'vondre campbell will be a former 40 niner relatively soon. >> not a perfect situation in the locker room either. >> no, no, i mean, but this is a one off. i mean, you know, this is extremely rare. so, you know, it's a team sport. you got to you got to be with your team. whether you're upset about your own role or not. so the niners will do what they have to do with this. all right. thanks, larry. sure. >> within a few seconds, i just scrambled out of the way. i was really very fortunate. >> luck and quick instinct. saving a man from this out-of-control car. the shocking close call you'll see only on seven. also, new tech could help out holiday travelers. the silicon valley partnership that could keep your luggage from getting lost. plus putting the silent in silent night crowds, keeping it quiet at the union square ice rink. with some big holiday

but do they really? do they see all that you are? at kaiser permanente all of us work together to care for all that is you.

i most likely wouldn't be here right now. i mean, the impact would have, would have, would have, would have probably killed me. >> wow, a wild scene. a close call in novato on wednesday, as ralph garcia was going for his morning walk. a car came racing towards him, and he just barely got out of the way before it slammed into a house. >> i'm walking. i'm walking up. i see it out of the corner of my eye. i see it coming and i just. and it happened and you know, and that's the reaction is from being at the gym and doing the crossovers. >> that's good. he's going to the gym there. police say the

driver of the car suffered a major medical emergency. seconds before the crash, a passenger was also hurt. both are expected to survive. ralph said he called 911 and then went to check on both people who were in the car. a live look out at the airport in oakland. and there are new developments tonight with the name change scenario. the port of oakland is appealing last month's ruling, which blocked it from using san francisco bay oakland international airport. a judge said it infringed upon san francisco international airport's trademark, specifically by using san francisco. the name change took place in march in the airport, even added new signage. it could be a few more months before the appeal gets resolved. united is becoming the first airline to use apple airtag tracking for luggage. customers will now be able to securely share the location of their own airtag through the united app. this will help customer service agents track down and recover luggage faster. united's vice

first quarter. this is the first first down of the game. brock purdy over the middle to george kittle. 33 yards. that was the niners longest play from scrimmage all night. led to a field goal three three game at the half. it was so bad the corgi races got more yards than both teams. and their quarterback. tony is your winner. he's very cute. third quarter brock purdy fires to deebo samuel in stride. and that might have been a touchdown if deebo had caught it. and that is how niner fans feel right now. fourth quarter still no touchdowns. tied at six matt stafford deep ball. puka nacua 51 yards leading to a go ahead field goal. rams up nine six. all right niners got to answer. driving to tie or finally get a touchdown. purdy. with the overthrow intended for jauan jennings picked off by darius williams. purdy 14 of 31 for 131 yards. and the interception on the final play. the niners need a miracle. they need the hail mary. purdy can't even get a throw off sacked to end the game and realistically end their playoff hopes. 12 six rams is your final. this was the first game in the nfl all season with
