laid off, as you mentioned. yefsd the deadline to get the deal done that fell through, though there is a chance it can still get done by tuesday. if not, the matter goes arbitration and 156 police officers will be out of work as soon as next month. the cuts couldn't come at a worse time, of course, san jose dealing with increasing crime, just over the memorial day weekend alone there were two whom sides in less than 24 hours. already, 24 so far this year and as we have been reporting, that surpasses last year's grand total. this morning, we have reached out to the police chief, chris moore,s can as well as a couple of city council members to hear about this. could have earring homicide last week, east san jose, he was speaking candidly to a couple of officers work that case and they told me they are bracing to lose their job in the near future, their happeneds are tied and

they are more than likely to strike again soon. this morning, unusual spring weather continues to stir things up in northern california. last week, seven tornadoes touched down around chico, north of sacramento and yesterday, yuba city was hit. national weather service say a tornado touched down in a rural area of yuba city, as the rain storm ripped through that area. look how dark. twisters struck not far from where three tornadoes actually touched down last week, destroying hundreds of acres of almond orchard. so far no reports of injury or damage, boy, see that coming toward you, go the other way. >> that's right. i spent some serious summers in yuba duba. not something you see in the summertime, not even the winter, when we get the most is severe weather, late spring now, the first official day of summer is june 21st i think we are going to have to wait quite some time.

either, also in china, yahoo! is trying to figure to out what went wrong with alibaba. jack ma talk together "wall street journal's" all things digital conference said yahoo! should have known he was going to spin off alibaba. when he did it yahoo! shares, laura, just got crushed there are two posle builts, either the yahoo! board knew about this ahead of time and didn't tell investors, i'm not throwing that accusation out, but one of two possibilities, the only other possibility, they didn't know. either they knew and didn't say but didn't know, either way it is a disaster. >> tough to make that for them. k a 26 now. community leaders in one city coming together to speak out against recent violence in the area. >> i'm bob redell live here in san francisco. you thought escaping for alcatraz was hard, add a bicycle run and a run on top of that get

laura. you have something to take care of outside, probably want to do so today, even better tomorrow, we have a weak ridge shaping up for the bay area, still a few light showers this morning in the north bay, that is what we are expecting, showers will stay to the north, as we head through tomorrow evening, we have a major system on the way, let you know how much rain we are expecting in your city and exactly when coming up. right now, might have to get to work on time, 5:30, mike, getting busy out there >> so far, no dram mapped much smoother driving yesterday, had had all the rain, the good news, the maze and the speed sensors on the approach, 580, i will check on that that will affect your drive out of the altamonte past. oakland, nothing affecting your drive, we have all lanes open. i point that out, yesterday, we had the full closure, today, a nice drive for the nimitz freeway. i hope i didn't jinx anything. that is plexiglas but i'm still knocking on it. >> check back with you, thank you very much. this morning, fire investigators looking into the

cause of a overnight blaze at the a pleasant hill apartment complex. fire crews responded to the one-alarm fire in douglas lane near oak park boulevard just after 10:30 last night. reports say there was live ammunition inside one apartment unit actually involved in that fire. very dangerous. it was put under control a short time later. luckily, no reports any injuries. well, leaders at an east oakland neighborhood are asking something be done about recent shootings in the area. 200 faith leaders and local activists will be meeting with city and county officials to try to find some answers. they are pumping for increased use of the city's call-in strategy, a national program which move people involved in street violence away from crime. other cities across the country who have used this strategy have seen a reduction in shootings and whom sides. tonight's mouth meeting starts at 6:00 and held on international boulevard at thy

world ministries. san jose leaders are at a budget stale mate at the police department and means layoffs for dozens of police officers, just as the homicide rate is starting to rise. marla is live with an update for us. >> this is the private parking lot where officers park their cruisers and their motorcycles at the end of the day. more than 150 of these vehicles might just remain parked in the near future because there may not be enough officers to fill each one t is all because the police union and the city cannot reach a deal regarding pay and tension reforms. yesterday was a deadline to get it done but the deal didn't happen there is a chance it could get done by next tuesday if not, the matter goes to arbitration and 156 police officers will be laid off as soon as next moment. the san jose mercury news is reporting even if a deal is

reached, 122 officers would still be laid off. this all stems from san jose's $115 million budget deficit. six other unions, including the firefighters' union, have accepted pay and benefit cuts by as much as 10%. for the police department, the cuts could not come at a worse time. san jose dealing with increasing crime, already 24 homicides on record this year and that number surpasses last year's totals. more crime and fewer officers, not a good he equation to be face weekend. we have put in calls to san jose police chief chris moore and city council members to get their feedback on the issue and at this point waiting to hear back from them this morning. >> interesting to see if it is over just yet, as you mentioned. thank you, marla. 5:33 now. it is judgment day for the antioch couple accused of kidnapping, raping and holding

giants fan bryan stow has taken a lie detector test but don't know what the results are. giovanni ramirez says he was not part of the grewsome crime and offered to take the test to prove t his lawyers watched via closed-circuit tv and as ministered their own tests on tuesday. they hinted he had passed it. >> i thought it was a profession atlanta ex-examination, she did a fine job and i was very complimentary of it. that having been said york know what the results of that exam are but i know what my exam was yesterday. >> ramirez is possibly connected to a january shooting in henderson in nevada. henderson police are not confirming that so far. the person involved in in that shooting survived. escaping from alcatraz used to be survival but now it is sport. bob redell is live. going to take a plunge?

clears out, stays dry, throughout your friday until 4 p.m. that from the arrives and pushes in. after that, looks like the coastal areas will get the most rain that system just silts and spins. if it doesn't leave the area as we head into sunday and monday, we could be talking about rain all the way through mop day mike, i'm sure a good note for commuters. sure you have safe driving tips in the rain. >> people already love monday, great to have a rainy monday, more joy on the roadways, lower your speeds if you have to get rest over the weekend so you can get up early. might want to leave early, we have a couple of issues, disabled vehicle reported. these are the wind farms out of the altamonte pass, west bound 580, commute direction pass grant line road, reports of a disabled vehicle, partially blocking that slow, stay to your left, a good amount of space, light flow, but a new accident, accident at air way, in the middle of your screen, cause slowing there as well. we will track this but meanwhile, we have the commute that started.
