"today in the bay's" christie smith is live in san francisco where early indications of the news today will not be good. good morning, christie. >> reporter: the judge already listed a tentative ruling yesterday that so far he sees no reason to put a stop to efforts to remove ross mirkarimi from office for official misconduct. that ruling isn't final, though, until today. ed lee suspended him and mirkarimi is trying to show that lee may have overstepped his boundaries with this. this after an incident with mirkarimi's wife on new year's day where she ended up with a bruised arm. he pleaded guilty to false imprisonment, and his attorneys wanted the suspension overturned arguing that the definition of misconduct was somewhat vague and it had to have occurred

while she was in office. and mirkarimi was sworn in as sheriff until january 8th. we spoke with mirkarimi after yesterday's hearing. >> all i can tell you is i've taken responsibility for what has occurred. and being held accountable for it now. and that has already been adjudicated. >> reporter: now the deputy city attorney said outside of court yesterday that it's understandable that mirkarimi is trying to thwart the proceedings and added i think he's in danger and jeopardy of removal. an ethics council hearing is expected to start on monday and then it's up to the board of supervisors to decide whether or not to remove him from office. and 9 out of 11 would have to agree. christie smith, "today in the bay." 4:33 right now. champagne and confetti are gone. and this morning at the site in santa clara, the real work begins. celebrations lasted well into the night after years of planning and debating, the gold

the bay area's never really been able to put together a good bid for the olympic trials because we don't have a good facility. now we have the stadium, the earthquake stadium built on the other side. we're going to have a number of venues to allow us to do things we haven't been able to do before. >> and if you're a contractor, good news for you. santa clara will add more than 500 full-time construction jobs in order to complete the stadium. if you couldn't watch it live, we have the best parts of yesterday's ceremony on our website. log on to nbcbayarea.com for interviews with coach jim harbaugh, and video from the actual ground breaking, nbc bay area. some 49ers will be in morgan hill this weekend helping hundreds of volunteers search for missing teen sierra lamar. but this morning, investigators are trying to track down the person responsible for posting a fake tweet on the teenager's twitter account. detectives say they will arrest that person on charges of internet impersonation.

smith was a stay at home dad living at the complex and was often seen pushing his son in a stroller. >> you don't mess with nobody. all he did was take care of his kids, he might play at the park. he say what's up, smoked a cigarette with us and just be in the house and play his game and be with his kids. i don't know why anybody want to do something like that to him. >> he died at the scene. the baby was not hurt. 4:37 right now. the passengers of a delta flight that encountered a frightening emergency finally made it to m l.a. this morning. the plane had to be turned around because of a bird strike. it was all caught on tape. >> a passenger's camera was rolling moments before impact. the flock appeared, then vanished in an instant turning what should have been a smooth flight from new york to l.a. into a heart-stopping scare. just listen to the pilot's call

moving. and that eventually the arrow would disintegrate. the people that live near the park, they think the arrow may be made of plastic and it could kill the bird. >> i think it was terrible. i'm sure it was a hunter or something like that, and it wasn't a fatal shot and now the poor animal has to live with it. >> we need to catch it and get that arrow out of it. >> animal control is planning to turn the matter over to fish and game. >> that's hard to see. 4:50 right now. many drivers are ruthless when it comes to finding a parking spot. this is a new low. a woman in san francisco not giving up her spot without a bite literally. police say two drivers have their eye on the same spot in the bay view tuesday night. one car swooped into the spot angering the other driver, one thing led to another, a fight broke out. police say the woman in the car that didn't get the spot reportedly bit the other woman several times. she was arrested for aggravated assault. >> no comment. 4:50.
