with an officer-involved shooting. now, it's unclear how the suspect involved in this is doing. but we do know that at least two people were inside of that car. and an officer may have been bitten by a dog in the leg possibly bitten by a police dog. now, i spoke with one resident who tells me he heard the response. >> describe the commotion you heard. >> sirens, tires screeching, two minutes later, gun shots. >> how many? >> five to eight. >> did you know what that was? >> a gun, i'm 24 years old, i know the difference between fireworks and gun shots now being out here in vallejo. >> you saw a lot of police cars? >> yeah, a lot. plenty of them, more than vallejo has themselves, all them. >> now, i asked officers on scene this morning how much longer they might be here and they said they just don't know.

9:00 a.m. on your future cast, we stop the clock. still getting a good amount of cloud cover all the way from 92 southward, palo alto, livermore still socked in. but between 9:00 and noon, that's when the warm-up starts. your hour-by-hour breakdown, 67 degrees at about 4:00 p.m. highs between 4:30 and 5:30 this time of year. 73 degrees, that's it for you today in gilroy, but tomorrow, we're talking about the upper 80s in some cities. so temperatures are going to rapidly climb. take a look at the difference between today o and wednesday, for example. 72 today, up to 86 degrees by wednesday, 91 degrees, peak warmth on thursday. then on friday, we're going to get clouds for the second half of the day. 85, though, still very warm for this time of year. and then perfect conditions as we head into the upcoming weekend. not too early to think about that. if you don't have the day off, we are in that department with you. and you know what? it's not too bad out there,

guys. >> okay. sounds good. we look forward to the 90s. well, no question it was quite the bash. the celebration of the anniversary of the golden gate bridge ended with a bang. >> a spectacular fireworks show lit up the bay last night. more on the show and the people who braved the cold to watch it. >> reporter: an explosion of colors in the sky above the golden gate bridge did not disappoint the thousands who came out. >> it was the best fireworks here in the united states. >> live is always better. at home you just can't capture the spirit the way you can live. >> reporter: an historic moment, 75 years. the golden gate has stood tall and proud in the san francisco bay. >> it's history in the making. 75 years at the golden gate bridge, it's great to be a part of it. >> it's just a beautiful part of the bay area. i mean what else can you ask

for? >> reporter: the bridge has deep symbolism for those who have laid eyes on it. love, prosperity, dedication. the golden gate touches people's hearts in different ways. >> we see our family. symbolizes an active family. >> my heart is here. and it's got a lot of meaning behind it. >> families, friends, and those who have recently fallen in love. there's something special about this bridge even a 6-year-old girl can sum up her feelings in one word. >> awesome. >> reporter: george -- "today in the bay." >> there was live music and entertainment all day long. one family came to san francisco from the central coast. >> oh, it's really great. the crowds have been fairly light. and there's something to do all along the way. we've done about a four-mile hike from way down the coast. it's been really beautiful.

>> uplifting out there. another popular attraction at chrissy field, the road trip through history. this was a showcase of those vintage cars from 1937. that, of course, was the year the bridge first opened to modern hot rod. well, one of those vintage cars was the very first to cross the golden gate in 1937. robert schultz of martinez has been driving this piece of history for quite some time. this cadillac convertible was the first to cross the bridge when it opened in '37. he was a baby in his father's arms on the bridge that day and in 1958 he ended up buying the car for $100. now it's part of his family history. >> when i turned 60, i said, dad, i don't feel 60 years old. could there be a problem on the birth certificate? he said you were 1 year old when we went across the bridge. >> and then this woman came with her family to honor her late

father charles. his name and memory printed on the backs of their t-shirts here. he spent four years building the bridge. she was also crossing the golden gate with her father at the 50th anniversary and says she'll be here again for the 100th. >> great story. 1 years old. 5:49. coming up, checking your local forecast for this memorial day holiday. also, is facebook getting into the gadget market? what reports are saying about a possible facebook smartphone next. and the "dragon" capsule set to make more history coming up. and the golden gate bridge, we give you a live look, the fog blocking out some of that. but check out the traffic. that's how smooth it is on the holidays. more coming up.

space x wants its capsule back. it will return full of trash and dirty laundry, but it's going to splash down in the ocean like the old apollo capsules. the new heat shield is a new one, by the way, designed at nasa. the stock market is closed this memorial day. the dow closed lower on friday. we get the may job numbers this coming friday. the greek markets are, unfortunately open. unfortunate because they fell to lows on friday. greece looking at unemployment numbers we have not seen since our great depression. now, the head of the international monetary fund has stirred up greeks after he says she has more sympathy for children in africa than greek people because children in africa are poor but it's not their fault. and she further stirred the pot and said many greeks don't pay their taxes. her facebook page has exploded this morning. 19,000 people have posted messages there, mostly negative.

now, she realized no matter who's to blame for the problems in greece more than 3,000 greek business owners have committed suicide since this crisis began. the country has a significant problem with starvation, even though there's plenty of food for sale. so at this point, finger pointing probably doesn't do any good. >> yeah. >> absolutely not, wow. thank you, scott. meteorologist christina loren tracking our memorial day forecast. how's it looking? >> great weather to pay tribute. good morning to you. temperatures this morning are in the 50s. as we head through this afternoon. we will jump into the 60s bay side. it's going to be kind of a cool day, mild by the day's end. 74 degrees at 4:00 p.m., and at the coast, 60 degrees. i wanted to point out a special treat for you early risers. one week away from the lunar eclipse. between 3:00 and 4:00 next monday the moon will pass into the earth's shadow creating a rust-colored or darkened look. a heads up. we talk more about this. everyone was so excited about the super moon, the anular

mind about that jump. and then she's pushed out of the plane by her instructor. everett says her knees went out right before she jumped. >> he helped me -- he gave me a little boost with his feet, and he did that. he knew how bad i wanted to do it. >> well, the faa is looking into the incident and confirms it has proposed over $900,000 in unrelated fives iffer tfor the n california parachute center. this case right now is still pending. nbc news has reached out to the parachute center owner about everett's jump. he would only say no one got injured and the landing was fine. that's crazy. >> that is scary to see. well, still ahead, tracking the latest developments in vallejo after another officer-involved shooting. a live report next.
