scott thompson's resume is going to show he only worked at yahoo for just over four months. this very public departure is going to be hard to cover up you might say. now scott thompson was appointed ceo in january. he was hired to turn around the struggling web giant. and in early april, he executed a plan to reduce yahoo's 14,000 employees by 2,000. he's now become one of those casualties after his recent resume debacle. yahoo saying thompson will step down effective immediately after it came to light his resume was padded with two degrees. one in accounting, another in computer science. turns out thompson only has an accounting degree. one man said thompson had no other choice. >> back in the days when a ceo made 20 times the average working man salary, that's fine, but when he's making 400 or more times the average man's salary, that's just unreal. and to pad your resume to get

that position is unconscionable. so, yeah, he should step down. >> reporter: in thompson's place, the board has appointed ross levinson interim ceo. until now he was the global media head. now beyond the ceo shake-up, five members of the board of directors have also resigned. so there's a whole lot more to this story. that's where our business and tech reporter scott mcgrew joins us for the latest there. >> good morning, marla. i think you're absolutely right. the big shift is not even the ceo, it is the board of directors. that's the big deal. daniel loeb has won. he's on the board at yahoo. there you see him on the right along with two of his own men who also take board seats, ross levinson on the left. you have a new if possibly temporary ceo with levinson. this is all about loeb, though, he was the one pushing for changes at yahoo even before scott thompson got into trouble. he gets three board seats vacated by board members who had previously announced they were

leaving. now they're leaving immediately. laura, we're going to continue to cover this throughout the morning including the latest bombshell that scott thompson has cancer as our news continues. >> thank you very much. we'll continue to follow. it is 5:03 right now. a foot pursuit leads to an officer-involved shooting in napa. we going to do that story or not? i'll read it to you. police say an officer caught up to a suspect in a backyard just before 11:00 last night. the officer fired one shot hitting the suspect, the officer is now said to be on leave pending an investigation. suspect being treated for his injuries at queen valley medical center. also new this morning, a woman is safe after san francisco police help her fend off an attack. two officers say they were heading back from an assignment just before 11:00 last night when they heard a woman screaming on mission near fremont street. when they turned the corner, they saw the woman break free from a man trying to steal her

purse. >> and then actually ripped the purse off of her and threw her to the ground. so it was kind of a somewhat more violent robbery that they interrupted. >> police say one officer fired one shot when the officer says the suspect appeared to pull out a gun. no one was hit. and the suspect was taken into custody without incident. protests and pg & e. it's a familiar combination. and today will be no different as the utility shareholders gather in san francisco. more on the target of today's demonstrations. christie, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, jon. the same time the ceo for pg & e provide a mid-year update on how business is doing, a group of protesters plan to come here to the san francisco headquarters. they're going to be here outside but also want to present thousands of signatures they say to pg & e against smart meter opt out fees. they say they want to stop smart meters.

morning. we're looking over here to northbound 101. your other peninsula freeway and looking at slowing now a . we know that chp is there and activity from an early engineer accident. no lanes blocked. sounds like the activity will be closer to the shoulder and possibly sticking out into the slow lane. a smooth drive over to the dumbarton bridge and that's closing on memorial day weekend. that will be an issue. use 237 as your alternates, that's coming through the south bay, east/west right here. smooth drive throughout the south bay freeways, the construction has cleared. good stuff. we'll take you from the south bay to the north bay. get a look at the road through san rafael. right here northbound coming off of lincoln avenue, a smooth, light drive as is usual. southbound side, slowing passing the curves and approaching lincoln avenue. a normal flow to traffic starting to bottle up right around there approaching the san rafael bridge, but no major concerns because look at the map. the speed sensors show you.
