answers recorded, and then they are put on administrative leern during the course of the investigation. >> i understand that the officer involved in the shooting, there was also evidence of broken glass and multiple knives on the scene? >> that's what we understand at this point. there was what appears to be glass from a bottle as well as knives on the scene. so all of this we're trying to piece together. you mentioned earlier that was a report we got about 9:30 yesterday evening, and then our officers, the two officers responded. and we're still trying to make sure that the person that they -- that was described as a wobbly drunk was the president-of-suspect who is now deceased. however all this happened, we just want to express our condolences to the family of this suspect. i mean, regardless of what led up to it, who is right or wrong in this, it is a tragedy for all involved. and you know, any time anybody dies it's not something we want

well, according to hackers. a new splinter group calling itself anti-security or anti-sec claims responsibility for a very small hack of apple servers. the group almost sounds apologetic saying it has better things to do than hacking apple. an interesting article in "the new york times" over the weekend makes a valid point. companies like twitter got tax breaks to stay in the city with hopes that their offices will help reinvigorate the neighborhoods. but twitter and other companies give out so many services to employees that local businesses may not benefit. for instance, twitter plans this giant gourmet cafeteria, where everything is going to be free. >> why would you go out and pay at a local business. >> why would you open a local business, a restaurant across the street from twitter if what you are competing with is free. >> don't some of these companies offer haircuts that come in, massages. >> oil changes, car washington washes. if all of this is free what is

the point of opening a business across the street from twitter which is why they are getting the tax break to kind of reinvigorate the neighborhood. it could be a problem so. something that nobody thought about and the times writing that up over the weekend. >> good point. thank you. it's 5:26. we've got an update on the string of overnight shootingses in the east bay. >> reporter: b.a.r.t. is dealing with another officer-involved shooting that turned deadly. i'm marla tellez.ll ll ti'eatav lonhet eshe t investigation and what this means for b.a.r.t. riders coming up. he

a lot more training, we've been -- we about tripled the amount of training our officers receive now. three times as much training. >> reporter: san francisco police, they have stepped in which is standard procedure, to carry out the criminal investigation. exactly what happened and what caused the officer to shoot is still being investigated. b.a.r.t. is handling its own investigation to see if the officers followed appropriate protocol. the officers as laura mentioned, they are on standard administrative leave this morning. immediately the civic center station was closed. it's been closed since about 9:30 last night. b.a.r.t. service is going to resume as of 8:00 this morning. when it does it's going to do so on sunday service because of the fourth of july holiday. laura, b.a.r.t. is holding a 10:30 news conference for the latest information on this investigation. >> thank you very much. we'll continue to follow that this morning.

into the south bay, so downright sticky as we head through tomorrow, even wednesday in the south bay. and then we've got this area of low pressure that's going to dig in as we head through wednesday and thursday. that's our friend. that's going to drop our temps to the 80s even inland, 70 degrees now in concord, 60 in hayward, 59 in san mateo. comfortable toward the coast f. you wake up in san jose, not too bad. i think the warmest spot across the bay area like yesterday will be in the east bay, 81 in san jose as you break for lunch. 60 in san francisco and 83 degrees in santa rosa. here are your highs. 99 in fairfield and livermore. concord 97. 92 in san jose, 95 in gilroy. if you want to see those changes, stay tuned for just a minute longer. we have the seven-day coming up. back to the person i'm happy she's back zlxt thank you, sweetie. aren't you sweet. i think i owe you lunch or breakfast, don't i. >> let's do it. >> 5:37. san francisco's giving soccer
