lavor with your bread. and some layers with your bread. if you're serving bread honey, then serve it. grands! dinner ideas made easy. good morning. i'm kris sanchez. coming up on "today in the bay," the latest on the search for a gun pan who killed two people in oakland overnight less than a day after the mayor outlined her plan to fight crime. plus, a san francisco landmark turns into a crime scene overnight. and the occupy movement continues to spread around the world. peaceful here in the bay area. sometimes violent in other pl places. this is "today in the bay." good morning to you. looking live at a pretty shot of the city this morning.

the twinkling lights. perhaps some drizzle in places. maybe not the kind of weather the nike runners are hoping for on this marathon morning. thanks for joining us on this sunday morning. i'm kris sanchez. meteorologist rob mayeda has a full look at the forecast. >> good sunday morning. we have some interesting weather to get the morning started with coastal drizzle. we get this tropical moisture, which is kind of streaming in off the ocean for the first half of the day. partly cloudy skies for the morning, especially from the peninsula northward. a chance of scattered showers. it will probably take us until about lunchtime. a as we head through the afternoon, you can see the high temperatures continuing the trend we saw yesterday. running cool. 60s to mid 70s. we'll see more changes coming up in your seven-day forecast. a full look at that coming up. new this morning, less than

a day after a safety summit in oakland, two more people are killed and once again, oakland police are searching for suspects. the two men were shot in the 1300 block of macarthur boulevard. investigators are releasing few details this morning, but we know they are searching for four suspects. police are not releasing descriptions this morning. no information of who the two victims are. in san francisco, the transamerica pyramid went from landmark to crime scene overnight, but first, we want to tell you about the safety summit that happened in oakland. the mayor targeted a plan to help the most violent blocks in the city. we can gather from the information that we have that they are the areas where much of the killings have happened and much of the shootings have happened as well. a lot of community members,

hundreds of them, showed up to hear what the mayor had to say along with the interim chief howard johnson. in san francisco, the transamerica pyramid went from landmark to crime scene overnight. a man led police officers on a high-speed chase overnight and crashed into the pyramid, but not before firing shots at the officers chasing him. that suspect is still on the run this morning. part of the scene remains blocked off. the chp has not revealed why that chase started in the first place. the momentum of the occupy wall street movement is spreading worldwide. protests over corporate greed and service cuts echoed in cities around the world from u.s. cities to cities in europe and south africa. in rome, the protests escalated into violence once again yesterday. some protesters interrupted what was a peaceful demonstration and started to smash bank windows

and set fires prompting police to fight back with water cannons and tear gas. in london, the wikileaks founder lent his voice to the movement. he joined thousands of demonstrato demonstrators. here in the u.s., the message of the protesters was clear. it's a bit broad. >> there's just people from all walks of life knowing they have to fight for their country now or we're going to lose it. >> the people of the world need to come together to bring real change. >> in new york, where the movement began last month, thousands of people took their occupy wall street message to times square. police arrested about 90 protesters after they refused to leave. here in the bay area, the occupy movement is also growing. thousands of people took to the streets of oakland yesterday with a hollywood celebrity leading the charge. nbc bay area's monte francis spoke with governor jerry brown about his feelings.

>> reporter: as occupy oakland entered day six, gavr jerry brown attended a charity fundraiser just a few hundred yards from where protesters are camping out. >> do you endorse the message? some of the east bay mayors have said they support the message of jobs not cuts. do you as well? >> i like to communicate my own message. i'm speaking to you, and i'll tell you what i think. i do think that the unemployment and the foreclosures are directly caused by the people who extended mortgages improperly, fraudulently, and in many cases illegally. >> reporter: about 2,000 people marched to speak out against corporate greed, joblessness, and cuts to social programs. >> my husband was furloughed a couple years ago, which led to our being foreclosed on. i'm unemployed and looking for work to pay for our three childrens' college education. it's tough out there for people

over 50. >> reporter: actor danny glover, who led the charge, says the occupy movement has a broader goal. >> we have to talk about something much bigger. it's bigger than that. we have to talk about a shift in resources, a shift in income, a shift in taxation. it begins with that. >> workers unite! >> reporter: there's no question the movement is growing, but right now it appears to lack leadership, a cohesive mess an, and even those involved aren't sure will result in any kind of tangible change. >> we don't know what this movement is going to bring. right now, right now -- but we don't know what tomorrow's going to bring. one thing about uncertainty of what we're in, there is a great deal of uncertainty. anything's possible. we have to imagine that there's a better world. >> reporter: monte francis, today in the east bay. san jose police investigators are still searching this morning for the suspect who killed a hells angels motorcycle member at the

funeral of their murdered leader. it happened yesterday at oak hills cemetery where a member of the hells angels club was killed by gunfire. witnesses say a calm and loving show of support for the late president of the san jose chapter of the hells angels turned chaotic once the gunshots rang out. there was plenty of police presence at funeral yesterday. once shots were fired, they quickly moved in. mourners were understandably upset. >> i'm just shocked. utterly shocked that something would happen because i've known hells angels and all the other groups for years and years and years, and there's a code of ethics. you never do anything at a funeral. >> the funeral was being held for jethro pettygrew. he was gunned down last month. new details this morning about one of the nation's most notorious mass murders. it's been 17 years since john

wayne gaci was executed. now the latest technology may help identify eight of the 33 victims. gacy was arrested at his chicago home in 1978 after a rash of murders terrorized the chicago area. police dug up the eight sets of remains and sent them to a lab for dna analysis. with the help of new technology, most, perhaps all of the victims, can now be identified and offer closure to the family. >> now through dna, families that had no hope of having a match now have the absolute hope. we can be definitive saying this or is not your loved one. >> it's been 33 long years not knowing what happened to my brother. i would like to know one way or another. >> and now there is another possible link between gacy and at least 27 additional unsolved murder cases around the country thanks to information obtained from evidence obtained by

investigators. they found plane tickets and travel receipts for gacy at the time the murders were happening. gacy could be found at the center of those cases as well. well, today in california is steve jobs day as declared by governor jerry brown. today, a memorial service will be held in his honor at stanford university. some of silicon valley's biggest names will be in attendance, but the service is invitation only. another memorial is planned for apple employees on wednesday at cupertino campus. coming up on "today in the bay," the obama administration's major change regarding troops in iraq. plus, they are pounding the pavement for a good cause this morning. we're going to take you to san francisco for the beginning of the nike women's marathon.

good morning to you. we mentioned the nike women's marathon is on for this morning and perhaps some drizzle over

the runners this morning. lots of drizzle probably around the bay bridge as well, north of the bay bridge, and north of the golden gate bridge as well. well, tough a loved one serving in iraq, he or she may come home sooner than expected. a senior military u.s. official says forces will be withdrawn from iraq in january, about a year earlier than scheduled. all are expected to leave except for about 160 soldiers. the 41,000 current troops in iraq will go to kuwait before heading home or on to other locations. more than 4400 american military members have been killed in iraq since early 2003. dozens of dedicated raider fans are tailgating across the street from the oakland coliseum honoring the late al davis. they are calling it the nfl's longest tailgate. it started on friday night and will last up to game time today

and francisco this morning. rob says expect a little bit of drizzle in parts. maybe some scattered showers for the northern parts of the bay area and south of san jose. let's get your full forecast with rob mayeda for all of your weekend plans. >> good morning once again. we're watching some changes in the weather. first, we're seeing a bit of drizzle on the coast. as we've been talking about this morning, maybe a little bit more than just some drizzle. we have got some tropical moisture coming in that's bringing a chance of showers.

even the chance of some isolated thunder for parts of the north bay for the first half of the day. high temperatures will be running much cooler than what we saw two days ago. 60s and 70s for highs. turning a bit breezy for the afternoon. monday, we'll see things clear out and warm up and cool down again as we head towards the middle part of the week. the reason why we have not only the drizzle this morning, the low clouds on the coast, but you can see high clouds approaching here. this is part of tropical or sub-tropical moisture being pulled out of the south. as this moisture directs over the bay area for the morning, there's a chance of some scattered showers or perhaps even an isolated thundershower out towards the north bay. by the afternoon, i think most of this moisture will be moving off north and east of the bay area. come monday, we'll see at least for 24 hours high pressure strengthening, which will dry out the air mass and compress down the marine layer just for a day. we will see a little bit of warming on monday. then that sea breeze is going to turn stronger on monday, which means cooler temperatures as we

go through the middle part of the weekend. temperatures around the bay area will be in the 70s for most places inland. again, as you head further north, the chances of seeing showers actually increases with 60s for highs around san francisco and mid-70s across those inland east bay valleys. for the north bay, scattered showers. maybe an isolated thundershower at times. turning mostly clear overnight. there you see monday, that brief one-day warmup. tuesday and wednesday, a little bit of cooling as the sea breeze turns stronger. may see another round of north bay showers on wednesday. then temperatures slowly climbing with a dry start to next weekend. that's a look at your seven-day forecast. now back to you. as young girls grow into their teenage years, parents often worry about who they're with. a non-profit organization is helping to educate parents to keep their girls safe. the national charity league of

this year than last year. they are looking to beef up staff by about 35%. while there is optimism here locally, national retailers are down playing their expectations. one survey showed that only 10% of retailers plan to hire more workers for the season than last year. many businesses are somewhat cautious by what they feel is going to be a soft spending season. the united states government is constantly on the hunt for counterfeit money, but in the past 20 years, investigators have come up relatively empty handed, especially in the so-called supernote cases. a supernote is such a good fake that most experts can't tell the difference. garvin thomas shows us the bay area is home to its own supernote mystery. >> reporter: you could try, but you would fail. we're sure of it. given all the time you want, you could not tell which of these

hundred dollar bills is real and which is fake. not even san francisco's top law enforcement official, its former police chief, can do it. >> i would not be able to tell the difference at all. >> reporter: these fakes are just that good. >> i believe it's the highest quality counterfeit in the world. period. >> reporter: assistant district attorney michael sullivan and his boss are talking about these. 361 counterfeit $100 bills. $36,000 linked to a man named peter chang. the 81-year-old chang owns a china town jewelry store. he was recently convicted of using those counterfeit bills to buy cold coins from other merchants back in 2007. his victims weren't the ones who spotted the fakes. even bank tellers didn't pick it up. it took a machine in a bank of america vault to detect the

counterfeits and the secret service to trace them back to chang. >> there's an imperfection in the printing of the "n" in the upper right hand side in the united states. then there's a variable ink that changes from green to black. in this case, it changes from green to magenta. >> reporter: other than that, they're exact replicas. the right paper, the right ink. even down to security threads and water marks. the bills are perfect. in fact, it's how they got their name, supernotes. the first one appeared in 1989. since that time, the federal reserve says it has pulled half a million from circulation. still, no one knows for sure who is making them, where in the world they are, and how they got their hands on the right equipment and raw materials. >> you can argue that it's easier to get your hands on nuclear materials than it is to get your hands on this bank

printing, bank note printing equipment. >> reporter: the most important questions, who brought the bills to san francisco? just how many more of them are out there undetected if? the experts have trouble spotting the fakes, what hopes do the rest of us have? >> everybody uses cash to some degree. anyone can be a victim. the victim in the last person with the currency in their hand. >> reporter: garvin thomas, today in the bay. you don't need a super note for the next deal. you just need to root for the raiders and like some wildlife. there's a little giraffe who was just born in santa rosa. they decided to name her ally davis. they say she had a just win, baby, attitude when she was born. they also wanted to honor davis as well. now they're offering a special deal today after the coliseum. you get a discount on the safari based on oakland's final score today. if clanoakland scores 27 pointsu

how the scene had been tampered with. they don't have a suspect in custody. >> when you look at that large number of individuals in a small area, it's not hard to, you know, make your way out of a scene like that. >> reporter: witnesses say there were members from more than 30 motorcycle clubs at the funeral who came from as far away as rhode island. upset about the violence, they say this gives people another reason to look at members of motorcycle clubs as outlaws. >> i'm just shocked. utterly shocked that something would happen because i've known hells angels and all the other groups for years and years and years. there is a code of ethics. you never do anything at a funeral. >> reporter: the funeral was being held for jethro pettigrew who was gunned down last month nevada. kimberly terry, today in the bay. and there is fallout from the bankruptcy of solyndra and

>> when you have this black american president, there's a success story. at the same time, you see african-americans, latinos, saying we have a long way to go. it's a very interesting point in american society. i think it will be interesting for all of us to reflect. >> i'd love to see it in person at some point. that will be interesting. so president obama will be one of the speakers there at the event, at the dedication this morning. this, of course, comes right after his jobs plan was defeated. so what are the chances that he can unite congress and try to find some other version that will pass? >> let's not take this mlk thing too far here. they're not overcoming all that day. it really depends, kris. it depends on a lot of things. how much pressure can these folks put on congress? the president is taking the three-day tour. why is it this time it might work, it might not? there's still the occupy movement going on. very interesting thing. it's almost the flip side of the

tea party. how much is this going to be bothering people? how much is this going to affect congress? there are some things in the works here, but the question is, after the defeat last week, can they move it further along? >> that is really the question. as it was presented by the president, the question always here is, what does it mean for me? what does it mean for california? >> yeah, and this bill has a lot for california. there's no question about it. quite a bit. in california alone, the bill will offer sizable spending in. an awful lot of areas. here are three good examples. you want to look at things like school construction. $3.6 billion, 37,000 jobs. school teachers, we've been laying off 30,000. guess what? we'd save 36,000 jobs coming back. infrastructure, the roads, the bridges, you name it. $4 billion, 51,000 jobs. add all this up together. you're talking about 124,000

jobs and more than $10 billion in these three areas alone. this is sizable. if you look at it in terms of california's unemployment, which by the way is a record high at 12.1%, that's enough to reduce the state's unemployment by almost 1%. a lot's at stake if they can get their act together. >> okay. so we know that nobody's going to argue that we need more jobs. republicans, democrats. i think it might be the one thing they can agree on. the problem is republicans say we shouldn't have to spend money to create jobs. >> you have to give them their due. they're saying, the last stimulus effort failed. why should we think this is going to work this time? republicans also say that federal spending, just money alone, isn't muff to do anything. in fact, they contended the best way to deal with these things is to create jobs by reducing taxes and rolling back costly regulations that prevent companies from hiring people. now, that's a pretty strong assessment, particularly in these times where we're talking about huge deficits and national debt. you can see the ying and the

yang. you put the plans in the same room. you know what you got? that word we call gridlock. >> we're used to that word. thank u,yoyo larry. you can get larry's perspective any time of day on our website. ride muni every day. i enjoy it the most when i'm with sidney. she doesn't notice that it's too crowded or that it can run a half hour late. i'm bevan dufty, and i'm running for mayor

because it's not enough to just "get it done"-- we have to get it done better. sidney thinks muni is magic. we go underground and come out someplace new-- just us. i want all of us to see it that way.

good morning once we're watching some changes in the weather. first, we're seeing a little bit of drizzle on the coast. as we've been talking about this morning, maybe even a little bit more than just some drizzle. we've got some tropical moisture coming in that's bringing a chance of showers, even the chance of some isolated thunder for parts of the north bay for the first half of the day. high temperatures will be running much cooler than what we saw just two days ago. 60s and 70s for highs. turning a bit breezy for the afternoon. the reason why we have not only the drizzle this morning, is the

low clouds on the coast, but you can see high clouds approaching the bay area. this is part of tropical or sub-tropical moisture being pulled out of the south. as this moisture directs over the bay area for the morning, there is a chance of scattered showers or perhaps even an isolated thundershower. out towards the north bay, this is the pattern for the first half of the day. bit afternoon, i think most of this moisture will be moving off north and east of the bay area. come monday, we'll see at least for 24 hours high pressure strengthening, which will dry out the air mass and compress down the marine layer for just a day. we will see a little warming on monday. that sea breeze will turn stronger again, which means cooler temperatures through the middle part of the week into the end of the upcoming workweek. temperatures will be around the 70s for most places inland. as you head further north, the chances of seeing showers actually increases with 60s for highs around san francisco and mid-70s across those inland east bay valleys around san ramon and dublin. for the north bay, scattered

showers. maybe an isolated thundershower at times. coastal rains turning mostly clear overnight. monday, you see the brief one-day warmup. tuesday and wednesday, a little bit of cooling as the sea breeze turns cooler. temperatures slowly climbing with a dry start to next weekend. that's a look at your seven-day forecast. now back to you. for many of us, the islands are nothing more than a speck on the horizon. but the islands are alive with biology and history. we got a rare chance to visit the island and see the problems that biologists are trying to correct. >> reporter: it's been said it's not truly a clear day in the bay area unless you can see the islands. even on the clearest of days, it's sometimes necessary to travel to see what appears to be right in front of you. and so the u.s. fish and wildlife service ferried a group

of journalists 27 miles past the golden gate bridge to the islands, a place so treacherous it takes a crane to haul in visitors. >> 27 miles from san francisco. think of how many tens of thousands of people drive 27 miles into san francisco every day. >> reporter: but its remote location didn't deter early visitors from wreaking havoc. >> seals were hunted by russian sealers and americans in the early part of the 19th century. they took every last one. >> reporter: but the early settlers also left something behind, mouse holes across the island that are evidence of the non-native house mice which now run rampant attracting burrowing owls. u.s. fish and wildlife is now weighing a controversial plan to use poison to eradicate the pests. >> there have been thousands of

islands where inveiasive specie have been taken out. >> reporter: but beyond its mouse problem, the islands are a biologists dream. off limits to the public, researchers study salamanders, 13 species of sea birds, and elephant seals. >> i'm doing shark watch right now. >> reporter: and the researches aren't the only ones with an interest in sea mammals. the waters are hunting grounds for white sharks who come to feed in the fall. >> you can tell shark attacks from up here. obviously, if there's blood. also, the gulls will start congrega congregating. this shows the birds we're seeing. >> reporter: every critter sighting on the island is logged in the daily journals. they're stored in a home built in the 1800s, which still houses researchers. >> as a biologist, you get entirely connected and in tune to the natural world.

everything from the weather, the sea height, the swell, every butterfly that lands. >> reporter: though the populations of sea birds and mammals have rebounded over the years, they're nowhere close to their numbers before people arrived. in a place sailors once called the devil's teeth because of its rough terrain, life is in full swing 27 miles from the eyes of the world. >> that joe is one lucky guy. well, 20,000 women are running for a very good cause right now in san francisco. they are about an hour into the eighth annual nike women's marathon. it got underway downtown. it will course its way through the city. we're looking live at some of the scenery that they will see. they'll pass by the transamerica building. they'll also see alcatraz. all of it will end north of the great highway. tiffany necklaces for the finishers who finish by 1:30. everybody else gets rounded up and transported back to the

beginning. by the way, the top finisher will get a special custom necklace from tiffany and company. we want to thank you so much for making a part of your morning. we hope you have a great day today. don't forget, football night in america tonight. next news at 11:00 tonight.
