timing was going to be. police had grown frustrating because it was making it hard for people to get by on the sidewalk t. siity feels they had an understanding with protesters that they would tolerate their presence in justin herman and in front of the federal reserve, but by expanding beyond those boundaries, it was just a violation of the rules. >> we need to expand. we're severely overcrowded at justin herman plaza. tensions have been high. health and safety is a big concern, so we needed to expand anyway. >> a spokesperson with occupy sf tells us they do have a meeting with mayor ed lee, one previously planned for 10:00 a.m. this morning. they want to talk about occupying the civic center because, as he was saying earlier, they've run out of space at justin herman where they got roughly 200 tents and another 45 down there at the federal reserve. when i asked if that means they

would occupy the civic center and move from justin herman and the federal reserve, he said no, no, we want to occupy all three spaces then at that point. reporting live in san francisco, i'm bob redell, jon and laura? >> bob, thank you for the report. students at staff at uc berkeley are at the center of two big stories this morning. first we'll learn more about the man campus police shot after he was found waving a gun inside the business school. the second, occupy protesters put up tents on campus in defiance of school administrators. nbc bay area's christie smith live in berkeley with more on both stories this morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. demonstrators here are waiting for answers on that just like everyone else. we're supposed to hear about that at a press conference at 8:30 this morning. but right now they've got their own situation. last week there was a clash with police, and right now, the demonstrators are back.

the big trouble with solyndra is it had more than one lay-off. it had a lay-off back in 2010 on november 3rd. why do you care about that? it's because that is a single day after the 2010 midterm elections, and that sounds real suspicious to the republican-led committee investigating solyndra and its loans. it says in e-mails from solyndra's biggest investor, argonaut equity, it was the department of energy that asked sol lynn that to hold off a day. in the memo, the doe doesn't say wait until after the elections. it doesn't explain why november 3rd was picked as the date. stephen chu will testify tomorrow before the house commerce committee. that will no doubt be one of the first questions put too him. back to you. >> scott, thank you very much. a very strange twist this morning. two suspects have been arrested for breaking into a san jose home, but the owner of the

property is upset the renter was using the home to illegally grow marijuana. "today in the bay's" marla tellez is live in san jose with an update. a pretty elaborate setup, wasn't it, marla? >> reporter: to say the least. good morning, laura. this is one of the extremely bizarre stories. we're on gorato drive in san jose. it appears to be a nice neighborhood. right over here the owner of this home, he says he's been renting it out for three years. never had any sort of problems with the renter until yesterday. san jose police were responding to a break-in at this home. they showed up to find two burglary suspects in the driveway. they arrested those guys, hauled them off. that's where it gets interesting. police entered the home to find an extremely sophisticated pot-growing operation. we're talking each room outfitted with special lighting and ventilation systems. all in all officers seized at

least 100 marijuana plants. the owner of the home says he is shocked and livid, saying all along he had no idea. he thought he was dealing with a responsible renter. >> our neighbors have told us that they never see anybody over there, which is kind of suspicious. but we always got our rent check direct deposited into our account every month, never a problem. i haven't heard from this guy since the day he signed his lease. >> neighbors are upset as well. but relieved about the arrest saying recently there has been a rash of break-ins in their otherwise family-friendly neighborhood. >> hopefully this is the end. so many homes have been broken in in this neighborhood. it's a nice neighborhood. this is such a quiet street. it's sad. >> reporter: now, i have put in a call to san jose police this morning to ask about the renter, and at this point they are still looking for this guy. it's a wonder if he's going to show up and come home.

when he does, i'm sure he'll be in for a shock as well. live in san jose, marla tellez. >> find agnew home very soon. 6:32 right now. as i mentioned earlier, overnight police moved in on occupy sf. want to check in with nbc bay area's bob redell who is live on market street with what is happening right now. >> reporter: good morning, laura. sfpd moved in on a small portion of their encampment, one set up outside of 1 market street where you can see officers are still holding ground to make sure protesters don't try to return. protesters moved in with their tents over the past several days. they said they needed to expand because they're outgrowing justin herman to the left where they've already got roughly 200 tents set up. that's the main part of their occupy sf campsite and also the area down on the other side in front of the federal reserve where they have perhaps around 45, 50 tents. this place in front of market

street, 1 market street was kind of a bridge camp. the sit at this time said that was too much. around 1:30 this morning, sf police officers in riot gear took down this mini camp, litting and releasing seven protesters. one protester showed us bruises on her arms and legs that she says she received when policeman handled her during the sweep. occupy sfers say they were not surprised, they knew it was coming. police had been warning them they were frustrated with the new camp because it was hard for people to get by on the sidewalk. the city also felt and still does they had an understanding with protesters that they would tolerate their presence in justin herman and the fastball, but not in front of 1 market street. by expanding, this was a violation of those rules. >> i understand what they're saying, but at the same time, they don't understand where we're coming from. and the only way that we can get them to do that is by making a statement by doing that.

we have tried and we have tried and they're not listening. there's only one way to get them to open their ears, that's by showing it, taking action because obviously words aren't working. >> reporter: there will be words between the protesters and the mayor of san francisco later this morning. one of the spokes people for occupy sf says they already had a preplanned meeting with mayor ed lee of san francisco at 10:00 this morning. we know the mayor has been concerned about the sanitary conditions inside justin herman as are the protesters themselves. there's reports of par vo, a dog disease, coming up here. the protesters are telling us it's getting too crowded. that's the reason they were trying to expand. they would like to expand now to the civic center plaza outside of city hall. that's their aim according to the spokesperson that we were just speaking with this morning. jon, laura? >> bob redell from san francisco. thank you. we have a warning this morning for south bay parents. a woman is ripping gold necklaces right off of school

kids' necks. the first robbery happened on october 18th at kennedy elementary school. washington elementary was hit after that and then grant elementary. the victims range from 5 to 8 years old. investigators say the woman pretends to be a family friend. in two cases she physically removed the girl's necklaces and then replaced them with costume jewelry. police say lunch monitors are being brought in to be extra vigilant about the strangers on school campuses. growing concern this morning over uc berkeley alert system after an armed suspect is shot by campus police. faculty and students are questioning the university's warn me communication system after a man reportedly threatened people with handgun at the haas school of business yesterday. the man was shot by police and taken to highlands hospital. his condition is unknown. police who signed up for the warn me program were supposed to get a text message, voice mail or e-mail in an energy

situation. some say they only received messages saying everything was under control. others say they got the message late or not at all. >> we got no instructions on what to do or,000 handle the situation. >> the one from haas wasn't so much notifying people but telling them that everything is good, but we're canceling everything. so be calm. the meeting about the shooting will take place at 8:30 this morning at the bank of america room at the haas school of business. it's the first campus shooting since the 1980s. meteorologist will come back and tell us we'll experience a mini minor heat wave today. >> at the smallest, smallest scale. we'll get a little bit of a heat wave. tomorrow doesn't look all that bad either, at least for areas south of the golden gate bridge. for the first part of the day, we will see some sunshine. that fog is going to roll back in as we head through tonight. we're expecting more widespread

fog. up novato, half mile visibility, a quarter mile in santa rosa futurecast shows you a lot of the fog will stay offshore. you can see a little sitting over the city of san francisco. the marine layer does push back in as we head through tonight. count on a mostly cloudy start. throw things start to change, especially in the north bay. rain on the way, 68 in redwood city, 66 in los gatos and 65 in oakland. if you have outdoor activities that you need to take care of, maybe painting the house, raking the leaves, try to do so before we hit tomorrow because our weather pattern is going to significantly change. we will take you through the timing of those changes hour-by-hour forecasts coming up next. first let's check your drive with mike. already the start for the commute right here. antioch, highway 4, look at the map and we see the slowing at the l street sensor, 28 miles per hour. slow from about a, extending

past loveridge and in towards pittsburg. it might be an early slow drive for concord as well. even though 242 shows slowing as well, 680 fine off the venetia bridge. 580 and 880 at the limit approaching the bridge. look at the golden gate bridge, an easy drive from the north bay. christina showed you visibility through novato and napa, that can be an issue. but clear san rafael into the city. the state now looking into the safety of the bay bridge and some recent reports that raise questions about the concrete and steel in the bridge tower. the man accused of killing a 14-year-old morgan hill teenager headed back to court today. trying to lock up the freak. the offer the giants are making and why the ace may refuse.

"today in the bay's" tracie potts joins us live from washington where where negotiations are and if they're still going on. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, laura. remember the debt super committee was supposed to come up with a deal after they couldn't come up with one last summer. guess what? they're stuck again. no compromise but no stalemate either. they're still working on this with a deadline of one week away to come up with something congress can vote on, trying to find $1.2 trillion in budget cuts. the arguments are essentially what we saw last spring and summer.
