people that were injured. later on approximately half-an-hour later we had another person walk in with additional injuries. >> reporter: police say the victims were taken to a local hospital in a private vehicle. they are not releasing yet the extent of their injuries. i asked the public information officer if in fact there was a manhunt under way because they have not identified the suspect. he just texted me saying he wouldn't classify it as a manhunt, only that they are trying to identify the perpetrator so they are gathering evidence to see if they can identify that person. live in san jose, "today in the bay." also new this morning -- a small kitchen fire forcing the evacuation of a redwood city assisted living center. the flames broke out at the woodside terrace just before 1:00 this morning. one senior was evacuated because

"today in the bay"'s damian trujilla is live at the scene. >> reporter: officers cleared the scene a short while ago but they were here for a good three hours at the creek sidebar and grill doing their investigation and about a half-hour ago they towed away a silver car from the parking lot here at the creek side, presumably to process it for evidence. a bystander flagged by a patrol car just before 2:00 this morning here at the creek side. he said someone had been shot. there were other victims that were apparently taken to the hospital in a private vehicle.

>> officers heard gunshots at the creek side inn. they responded to the scene and when they arrived there was two people that were injured. later on approximately half-an-hour later we had another person who walked in with additional injuries. >> reporter: the victims are all male and none has life threatening injuries. at this point police do not have a motive and they are still trying to identify the suspect or suspects in this case. live in san jose, damian trujillo, "today in the bay." 5:31. a san jose elementary schoolteacher is in jail this morning accused of sexually assaulting a child. police are now trying to determine if there are more victims. 35-year-old craig chandler is accused of assaulting that child last year. he taught a combination second and third grade class in san jose. chandler worked at the school there for nine years.

police are asking other victims or anyone with information to come forward. the man accused of a deadly crime spree in the south bay will make an appearance in court this afternoon. a plea hearing will be held for paul ray castillo. the 33-year-old parolee is in custody right now after robbing a gas station in san jose last september. police say he shot a man during the robbery and then later carjacked and killed a popular radio show host. castillo is a three strikes candidate who could face the death penalty. the search for a serial arsonist is intensifying this morning. navato now offering a $15,000 reward to find the firebug. someone has set 56 fires since early sunday morning. all of the fires were small but close enough to homes that it has a lot of people worried. so far, no one has been hurt. new this morning, a small kitchen fire forcing the evacuation of a redwood city assisted living center. the flames broke out at the wood side terrace just before 1:00

this morning. crews say it started in the kitchen of one of the units and was quickly doused by the sprinkler system. one senior had to be evacuated because of smoke. but so far no reports of any injuries. crews right now are cleaning up after a two-alarm fire at a tesla factory in palo alto. flames broke out at a battery testing facility at around 1:00 this morning. firefighters say the damage could have been worse but the sprinkler system did its job. scott mcgrew continues our coverage. a fire in a battery facility could be the sign of a much bigger problem. >> we have reached out to tesla to get an exact understanding of the damage and the cause. a battery is a prime suspect. but we don't know at this point it wasn't the copy machine that caught fire. but why are batteries prime suspects? because batteries catch fire often. something called thermal run-away. we've seen it in a number of devices like music players. you recall there was an enormous problem with laptop batteries catching fire on airplanes a few years ago.

what's the difference between a tesla battery and a laptop battery? actually, not much. though again, we are still gathering information. so it could be somebody left the coffee pot on but certainly you hear battery facility and fire and that requires a lot more investigation and we are on it. laura? >> thank you very much, scott. 5:34 right now. one of the biggest tech companies in the bay area is opening up shop in the silicon valley. "today in the bay's" marla tellez has more on where oracle is making a move. good morning, marla. >> reporter: jon, good morning. the software giant is here. you can see oracle's name already posted right in front of this building behind me. now a small sign for a big building. this is on almaden boulevard right next to the convention center. a building that sat empty for most of its life, a victim of the recession. but things are looking up. oracle now takes up 3 of the 19 floors.

that's about 66,000 square feet. it is expected to eventually have more than 400 oracle employees that will call this office home. oracle is headquartered in redwood shores. larry ellison's company actually inherited this building in 2008 when it paid billions to buy san jose based bea systems. the building's main tenant though is pwc. that's pricewaterhousecoopers. that moved in just over a year ago. that company occupies more than half of the office space here with some 1,200 employees. now this means only 10% of this tower is now vacant and that is certainly great news for downtown san jose which is just rye behind me, blocks away. live in downtown san jose this morning, i'm marla tellez. >> thank you very much. also good to bundle up before you head out the door this morning. want to check in with meteorologist christina loren. >> you'll regret it if you don't, it is so cold out there this morning with plenty of low 30s and upper 20s on that

to oakland. folks, if you're using the park boulevard on-ramp, it should have just re-opened over the last few seconds as the incident just cleared from chp but that park boulevard accident involving a person originally trapped in the car, that person's been taken to the hospital with minor injuries we're told so everything should be flowing smoother out of oakland there. through oakland for 880 past the downtown exit. the northbound side had construction overnight. that's cleared but we saw the slowing on the map there. right here a live look at the coliseum right about where the slowing is reported. nothing. but i did see flashing lights two minutes ago northbound past high street. we may have an incident between the coliseum and downtown. see that cluster of traffic at the bottom of the screen? i will sort out details and bring them back to you. quick check crossing the bay, san mateo bridge moving smoothly as well but volume all increasing as the commute kicks in. 5:37. coming up, when an east palo alto official is saying about recent measures taken at a deadly intersection where a

welcome back, everyone. a live look outside at san francisco international tharpt morning. certainly seeing traffic pick up there. always a busy place around the bay area. 5:40 right now. it happens every once in a while. this time the polls were right.

mitt romney, the winner in new hampshire with ron paul and jon huntsman coming in second and third. "today in the bay's" tracie potts has all the details. good morning, tracie. >> reporter: good morning, everyone. in fact the polls were pretty accurate. perhaps even under a little bit because the top three mitt romney, ron paul and jon huntsman, each outperformed what the polls said they would do just a little bit. mitt romney of course taking this race and he becomes the first candidate ever other than a sitting president, an incumbent, to win both iowa an new hampshire. he won by 39%. puts him in a strong position now going into south carolina where this morning even he admitted it is going to be an uphill climb. it is those conservative voters that rick perry and rick santorum and newt gingrich are hoping more of them will go their way. but if you look at the breakdown of who voted here, the exit polls, we see that there were a lot of independents. they're not going to find as

many of those in the south. 6 out of 10 of them said the economy was their biggest issue. many said their focus was beating president obama and that they were fiscally conservative. so romney this morning is saying that if he could win conservatives in new hampshire, he can do it again in south carolina. >> tracie, it is the eternal measuring stick. what do those polls look like for south carolina. >> reporter: sure. well, the latest ones we've seen -- it really only makes sense to look at very recent polls looking at the ones in the last week or so. he's up on average by about ten points but those polls range anywhere from single digits to in one case 18 points. that was the cnn/"time" poll. so he does have an advantage there but again you've got a lot of conservatives there, unclear if they will be strongly for a more moderate candidate like romney as they were here in new england. but we will know that in seven days. >> all right, mitt romney trying to keep the momentum going. tracie potts, thank you very much. in fact, his win in new

hampshire makes him the solid front-runner for the race for the republican nomination for president. with south carolina's primary next, romney's mormon faith may surface as one of the big campaign issues. that is because the state has many evangelical christians. lee and peggy green hope voters will look beyond religion and focus on romney's character. like john kennedy in 1960, romney gave a faith-based peach when he ran for president in 2008. vowing he would not serve any any one religion or take his cues in the head of the mormon church. >> he's not going to do that. he's going to do what he thinks is best and act on his principles and he's not going to be taking orders from salt lake. >> while romney is expected to get the lion's share of the mormon vote, the greens believe the mormons will not vote for romney simply because he is mormon. they say he will be judged on his political record and current issues. 5:34 right now. the new investigation into the death of actress natalie wood

while sailing off santa catalina island in 1981 has turned up no new evidence. the l.a. county sheriff's department detectives say they found nothing to suggest the cause of wood's death was anything other than an accident. detectives have been working on the new investigation for two months now. it is not closed. however, they say it is highly unlikely any new ground will be broken on how the starlet actually died. we need the rain and snow. december did not worry california water monitors but january does. the california department of water resources is talking the dreaded "d" word -- drought. the department's chief hiydroloy hydrologyist says a dry january is hard to recover from. we still have a lot of water in reserve though from last year's very wet winter. but if the pineapple express could possibly come through, that could help out the situation, too. >> even if it arrives in spring, we're still going to get that

water that we need. it just takes a couple whopper storms to make up the deficit that we're running right now. unfortunately we don't have any whoppers we're watching for you at this time. next week i think a storm will move through and i think it will bring some light rain to the greater bay area between tuesday and thursday we've got a really good chance for that. however, that's not going to take us out of the deficit. i think we will see a more active spring. we'll just have to wait for that rain. as you can see from this clear start of the bay bridge, nice and crisp out there this morning. it is cold. grab a jacket. but all of this clear sky overhead right now means the sun is going to be out right off the bat. 7:22 a.m. sunrise means we'll start to warm up and temperatures are going to climb, spread, 40 degrees in some cities today like gilroy. you're at 29 degrees now forecasting temperatures in the 70s later on today there. 40 in hayward. 42 in san mateo. these numbers are really chilly. in fact, this is one of the coldest days that we've seen on this date. we're forecasting records in
