more than a dozen geese and ducks were shot and killed in recent weeks. the latest happened at concord's new hall park over the weekend. christie smith joins us live in concord with more. good morning, christie. >> reporter: good morning, laura. this park is surrounded by homes and families use it. they bring their kids here. someone is shooting ducks and geese and leaving them for neighbors to find. that was the case this weekend. and i have to tell you, you know, the video is unpleasant. it's disturbing. it tells you what's really happening here. this e weekend the visitors found four geese dead. a fifth one was limping, apparently hit in the leg. the animal control couldn't retrieve it. but they think someone gave in with a pellet gun or bb gun and shot them a few days ago. a neighbor said he saw three other ducks or geese floating in

the water. within recent weeks similar incidents were at willow pass park. >> the way the birds were killed, the way they were found, areas where they were found, there's a good possibility it was connected. but we don't know for sure until we finish the investigation. >> and neighbors are really upset by this, telling us they want the person who did this caught. wanted to mention that in california, animal cruelty is a felon, so there could be possible jail time involved. concord police are asking anyone with information about whoever did this to please give them a call. reporting live, i'm christie smith. san jose. >> so sad to see the video. investigation is under way into three deaths on a bay area train track on saturday. all at different stations and at different times. around 10:00 a.m., a man was struck and killed by an amtrak
