murder. also in the east bay, a house fire in concord left one person dead. the fire department responded to the fire at a home on saratoga avenue around 615 last night. when firefighters got there, the flames were out, but as they checked the scene, they did find a body. investigators say it appears the fire started outside the home. they haven't shared any details about the victim. >> a frightening scene along san francisco's waterfront last week. a woman and her two year old granddaughter were attacked while walking along the embarcadero near townsend street. >> she was like throwing her whole body into protecting this baby like the baby was in front of her. she kept her shoulder to the attacker, so she was getting hits from the attacker. like the push pull. and yes, the attacker had hands on that baby. the attacker was screaming, that's not your baby! this is my baby. don't take her. and then, you know, forcibly hitting her. >> alyssa zions, her husband and an uber driver were the good samaritans who stepped in to try

to help. zion says that they were able to get the attacker off the grandmother and the child, and they called police. the attacker took off before police arrived. zion says officers actually went to the wrong location about 800ft down the street, then stopped searching after about ten minutes when they got another call. police say no arrests have been made. as for the child, family members tell abc seven news she is physically fine but has been waking up crying at night since that incident. just a tragic. oakland police have released body camera footage of an officer shooting a suspect last month. it happened the morning of january 4th on macarthur boulevard near 66th avenue. they released one video in which you can hear gunfire, while another shows the suspect carrying what they say is an assault weapon. an officer spotted the man and chased him. the body camera footage shows what happened next. >> get on the ground, please. get on the ground!

ground! get out! get on the ground! are you shot? get on the ground! shots fired! >> the suspect ended up getting into a standoff before surrendering. he has since recovered and faces multiple charges. >> 608. live doppler seven. along with satellite showing you low pressure spinning overhead. you can see that counterclockwise rotation around the low. and that is spinning up some scattered showers this morning, also bringing some colder temperatures. much colder this morning compared to yesterday. widespread 30s in the north bay were mainly in the mid 40s around the bay shoreline. it's also breezy from time to time. we've seen gusts this morning over 20mph, and we do keep it breezy throughout the afternoon as well. so looking at the picture from our richmond-san rafael bridge camera, you can see a mix of stars and clouds out there this

would close the department. congressional approval is required to get rid of a federal agency. 72,000 jobs could be cut under a reorganization of the department of veterans affairs, the va's chief of staff told top level officials that the agency tuesday that it had an objective to cut enough employees to return to 2019 staffing levels of just under 400,000. >> a federal judge blocked the trump administration from drastically cutting medical research funding that many scientists say will endanger patients and cost jobs. the new national institutes of health policy would strip research groups of hundreds of millions of dollars. the money covers so-called indirect expenses of studying alzheimer's, cancer, heart disease and a host of other illnesses. everything from clinical trials of new treatments to basic lab research. that is the foundation for discovery. separate lawsuits filed by a group of 22 states, plus organizations representing universities, hospitals and research institutions nationwide

sued to stop the cuts, saying it would cause irreparable harm. a stanford university doctor who president trump has nominated to be the director of the national institutes of health, began his senate confirmation hearing. doctor jay bhattacharya is a professor of medicine, economics and health research policy at stanford. he's a harsh critic of many covid era policies, like the mandatory lockdowns and vaccine mandates, he told the senate. if he's confirmed, he plans to bring, quote, free speech back to the nih. >> dissent is the very essence of science. i'll foster a culture where nih leadership will actively encourage different perspectives and create an environment where scientists, including early career scientists and scientists that disagree with me, can express disagreement respectfully. >> doctor bhattacharya also addressed the current measles outbreak, saying he supports vaccines and does not believe they cause autism. >> your plans to camp on federal

land in california may be upended because of the trump administration's federal spending freeze. the new york times reports nearly 4000 camp sites run by the ■forest service could close because of cutbacks. that includes tahoe's, desolation wilderness and mount whitney. visitor centers and backcountry trails might also not open. the producers of the hit broadway musical hamilton have canceled next year's run of the show at the kennedy center in washington, d.c. they are blaming president trump's recent takeover of the performing arts venue. lead producer jeffrey seller says the changes made recently, including firing professional staff and canceling several shows, has ended the center's spirit of nonpartisanship. he also cited concerns that their contract could be canceled or changed suddenly. this would have been hamilton's third run at the kennedy center. it first ran in 2018 during president trump's first term, and again in 2022, when joe biden was president. >> this afternoon, alameda county leaders are meeting over the long awaited sale of the

oakland coliseum. several groups, including the city of oakland, are anxiously awaiting for that deal to be finalized. abc seven news reporter lena howland is live in the studio with. why this meeting is so important. >> well, could a finalized deal be on the horizon for the long awaited sale of the oakland coliseum? according to the agenda for today's special meeting, the alameda county board of supervisors are expected to give an update on the status of that sale. according to the agenda, supervisors will meet for a closed session with county attorneys before. board president david haubert will give an update on the sale. remember, it was only two months ago when supervisors voted unanimously to move forward with the sale of the county's ownership share of the oakland coliseum to the african american sports and entertainment group, all for a $125 million price tag. but two months later, that deal still has not been finalized. as we've reported, those funds were expected to help with oakland's $89 million budget deficit. but because of delays, the city made other cost

saving measures that included closing three fire stations, laying off about 40 people, a hiring freeze and slashing the police department's overtime budget. though just recently they found other money to reopen those fire stations. today's special meeting is expected to start this afternoon at 3:00. the community will have the chance to speak first in public comment before any decisions are made. live in studio lena howland, abc seven news. >> how can california take care of both the environment and our roads? that is the question lawmakers in sacramento are dealing with this week. the growing use of hybrid and electric cars means californians are using less gas, so the state isn't getting as much money from the gas tax, and that means they don't have as much money to fix roads and bridges or boost public transit. state lawmakers held a hearing to discuss funding. >> and the way we see it, we're staring both down a steep slope of declining revenues. but as well as an absolute cliff.

>> according to san jose state's mineta transportation institute, gas tax revenue is expected to drop by a third over the next 15 years. and because electric vehicles are heavier, they actually cause more wear and tear to our roads, making repair money even more necessary. >> the sfmta board of directors has unanimously approved a plan to expand bike lanes throughout san francisco. the so-called biking and rolling plan will link 10% of city streets to a network of bike lanes, with the goal that every resident is within a quarter mile of a protected lane. the plan is meant to improve bike access to schools, jobs, parks and other services. the project is estimated to take 20 years to complete. >> if one san francisco supervisor gets his way, union street in cow hollow could become the city's next entertainment zone. supervisor stephen sherrill introduced the legislation on tuesday. this is video of the annual union street festival. if approved, bars and restaurants in the area would be

allowed to legally sell to go cocktails and open containers, and it posts on x, he writes. our small businesses have fought to bounce back, and we need to do everything we can to help them thrive. and entertainment zone means more visitors, more activity and a stronger, more vibrant neighborhood, he adds. let's make it happen. >> one visitor at pier 39 got a little bit of a scare last night when they were approached by coyotes. you could see one there in that video, cats running over there. they spotted one in the bushes and then one turned around. they found another one in the street. it's hard to see the one in the street, but you did see that other one. oh, there it is. it's kind of in the middle there. well, now they tell the crews here that they were after their food. sf animal control is reminding people though not to feed the coyotes. okay, there it goes again. >> oh well you know what? they're kind of minding their business, so i'll just let them. not that i'm in control of them. now it's time for our abc seven
