litigate this in front of the american media. right now, you guys are going around. >> a senior white house official tells abc news. zelensky was then escorted to a holding room, then told the president demanded that he leave the white house. president trump posted on social media this afternoon that zelensky can return when he's ready for peace. what happened at the white house certainly sent shockwaves through the entire political community. >> a bay area congressman just happened to be holding a meeting with constituents tonight in the south bay. >> abc seven news reporter lauren martinez was there as he addressed what happened in washington. >> more than 300 people packed west valley college theater in saratoga for congressman sam liccardo's first town hall meeting since being elected. >> i'm going to tell you how we're fighting. >> before the meeting got underway on friday night, he addressed the heated exchange that stretched roughly five minutes between vice president vance, president trump and ukrainian president zelensky.

aligned himself with putin. >> and now he has the president of the united states, the vice president, and apparently a whole lot of republican senators and house members supporting a total capitulation. it is unbelievable. and it is extraordinarily dangerous for the united states. >> congressman mike lawler, a republican and representative for new york, posted this on x. it was extremely shortsighted to engage in that type of exchange in front of the u.s. and international press as you work towards an agreement. sadly, the only winner of today is vladimir putin in the south bay. lauren martinez abc seven news. >> some lawmakers are coming to the defense of the president. one of them is south carolina senator lindsey graham. >> somebody asked me, am i embarrassed about trump? i have never been more proud of the president. i was very proud of j.d. vance standing up for our country. we want to be helpful. what i saw in the oval office

the witness says around 3 a.m, they left and went to dixon's home because he wanted to get the cybertruck. three people got into the cybertruck with him. two others stayed in the other car, following the cybertruck. the person driving that other car says soren was driving normally, but when he turned the corner onto hampton road, he saw the car on fire. a few weeks ago, a toxicology report showed all four people in the cybertruck tested positive for cocaine, marijuana and also alcohol. a student was arrested for bringing a gun to a fremont middle school. school administrators searched the student's backpack and located the firearm at centerville middle school. police say the student never pulled the gun on anyone or made any sort of threats, but that student has been arrested on gun related offenses, with the potential of more charges to come. >> a teacher in the north bay has been arrested on suspicion of lewd acts with a student. the suspect is a teacher at cesar chavez language academy in santa rosa. although his biography has

breaking bones on the way down, getting badly injured, sometimes dying on the way down or from the gunshot. >> in a statement, assemblymember chadwick says the bill is intended to control the black bear population, reading in part california's black bear population is out of control. more than doubling in the past decade. human bear encounters have skyrocketed as a result, leading to ecological disruption, property damage, and the first confirmed fatal black bear attack in the state. >> this is not a bill to that even remotely addresses any kind of bear human conflict issue. >> according to the state's 2024 bear conservation plan, there is strong evidence that the black bear populations have been stable over the past decade. >> the only population that's increased is the human population within bear territory. >> pointing to people as being largely responsible for the bump in bear sightings and encounters. >> why don't we clean up our trash issues and stop putting
