thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm jon kelley. good morning. we start with a var sad story. this morning union city police responding to the death of a small boy mauled by a pit bull, one of two dogs living at that family's home. "today in the bay's" christie smith live in union city with more on the on going investigation. tough morning out there, christie. >> reporter: good morning to you, just an awful story out here. neighbors telling us there were at least two dogs living in this home believed to be pit bulls or pit bull mixes and there were quite a few children coming and going from the home as well. but they describe these dogs as very, very friendly. i just got off the phone with the alameda county fire department. they're telling me that they responded to the home at 11:33 a.m. yesterday on elizabeth way to a medical energy for a 6-year-old boy. that little boy had been mauled. that boy taken to lucile packard

and now what's happening is we spoke with the santa clara county coroner's office and they're saying this turned into a jurisdictional issue between them and alameda county which is where the mauling happened. neighbors say it appeared that this boy lost a lot of blood and now, of course, it's turned tragic. they're saying they never saw these dogs out on the street, running around loose. they seemed friendly and very well cared for. alameda county fire department telling us at least one dog was seized from the home and union city police hoping to have an update for us later this morning. live in union city, christie smith, "today in the bay." 6:02. new video overnight of a fire that ripped through the bathroom of a mobile home in san jose injuring one firefighter. firefighters say it appeared to be an electrical fire that broke out about 12:35 this morning in a mobile home at the county fair mobile home park on umbarger road. a firefighter wurz taken to the

hospital. but it's unclear what type of injuries he has or what his condition is. happening now in oakland, tree is down blocking traffic on southbound san leandro near 77th avenue. a chipper has arrived on scene starting to get the tree cleared out of the lanes. we're still working to confirm the details about why that free went down in the first place. there is said to be a hydrant leaking in the area. a former fremont teacher convicted of possessing child pornography in 2001 has been arrested again on child molestation charges. authorities say 63-year-old michael shoop was arrested last week in pleds zant ton. he's a former special needs teacher at fremont's mission valley elementary school he's already served prison time as part of a plea deal after a man claims shoop molested him as a child. 6:03. a lengthy battle over guns appears to be over in one south bay town.

los gatos town council unanimously approved a proposal to make it much harder for anyone to sell guns or ammunition in city limits. the new ordinance requires the city hold public meetings on any proposed gun dealer before permits can be issued. the dealer will have to submit to police and city investigations. >> the major highlight is that it's an ordinance developed by this town for this town. and i think that's probably the most important part of it. the second most important part is that it gives the town and its residents notice when there is a gun store that's going to come in and ask for a permit. >> that new proposal comes after public outrage over templar sports, the store which sells ammo and firearms opened back in december. templar's owner says he followed all the current permitting procedures and at this time it's unclear if the ordinance will affect templar sports. it's a question being considered right here in the bay

area. could bird feeding affect airport safety. the city of millbrae voting on a proposal to ban people from feeding birds in hopes of reducing bird strikes at sfo. "today in the bay's" arturo santiago has the rest of the story. good morning, arturo. >> reporter: good morning, jon. the bird feeding ban is trying to address a problem at san francisco international airport. but the source of the trouble seems to be here at the millbrae b.a.r.t. station. apparently too many people are feeding the birds at the station. in order for b.a.r.t. police to regulate the activity, the city council has to pass a new ordinance. possibly the most well known bird strike happened about a year and a half ago when captain sullenberger had to crash land in the hudson river. there have been 120 reports of bird strikes at sfo in about the 18 months. 12 of those actually caused damage to planes.

airport officials noted there was a problem with birds being fed at the millbrae b.a.r.t. station. by reducing the number of birds, sfo hopes to have fewer incidents of bird strikes to aircraft. the proposed ordinance is up for a vote at tonight's meeting that starts at 7:00. live in millbrae, arturo santiago, "today in the bay." let's check in with christina for a look at the forecast. i think it's one to enjoy. >> it certainly is. it's interesting about those bird strikes, whenever it hans, even if there's no damage, they have to do an inspection that takes almost two hours. i was delayed once by that. if you're trying to catch a flight out of sfo, we're actually looking good for now. we don't have any flight delays. the wind is winning the fight. we've got fog and wind competing this morning. the wind is actually stronger. that's keeping the fog from settling right to the surface.

56 degrees in san jose, 55 in gilroy. you've got a sustained speed in san francisco between 18 to 24 miles per hour. that's pretty strong wind. the wind is going to strengthen as we head throughout the day. futurecast tells the story. we'll see the strongest wind gusts in the higher elevations, east bay hills, santa cruz mountains. travel cautiously especially if you drive a high-profile vehicle. mike is going to have your report in just a minute. 75 inland, bay side 68 degrees, coast 59 degrees. you will need a jacket today in the city by the bay even though we're three days away from the official kickoff of summertime and the longest day of the year. i'll let you know how warm we're headed intoéé the weekend. you might be surprised. 6:07. the backup, mike? >> bay bridge metering lights are on. shocker. now that you've had a chance to recover, let's look at the backup. this is shocking. it's actually moving.

you can see movement in the lanes. it's a traffic tuesday. flow is a little lighter than we often see. the maps will show the maze and the approach moving smoothly as well. we talk about the summertime shift kicking in. a lighter flow of traffic expected at times over the next few months. we're seeing that right now. into the city northbound 280, a crash at the 101 interchange. a crash reported by chp north 280 at the same interchange. so far no details other than there's a motorcycle involved. so we're tracking that very carefully. we'll look outside and see how things are shaping up as you're crossing the bay. the san mateo bridge moves nicely over towards the peninsula. that's your westbound commute. cameras shaking a bit. the wind taking effect. no advisories by chp. we're letting you know you might want to hold on. farther south, the traffic

free-throw through san jose, speeds still close to the limit. we'll point out the slow spots in the next report. on the international scene, the g8 summit ending the day in northern ireland. we have new video of the president and other g8 leaders out there posing for a little team picture wrapping up that summit there. once again, today's discussions centering on the conflict in syria. president obama still trying to convince some european allies to join the u.s. in sending arms to anti-government rebels in syria. russia still not bundling from its stance and will continue selling weapons to the syrian regime. each departing leader will hold a news conference to wrap up the summit. president obama continues his european trip tonight in germany. 6:09. taking action after two devastating limo fires. what one local lawmaker is doing today to make sure something like this never happens again. if you are looking for work

grab a hammer. we'll take a look tonight. an elite force of females. the big announcement that could help military women break through that brass ceiling. would chipper trying to clear out a tree blocking lanes in oakland on southbound san leandro street near 77th avenue. they've actually done a pretty good job of cleaning up quickly. we've been watching it all morning long as well as your morning commute. a lot more ahead. stick around, 6:10.

. welcome back. 6:12. a live look, a gorgeous shot of daly city. most sunshine you'll see all day right now, daly city, get it while you can. the low clouds will be moving in and even with the sunup for about 15 hours today, we're still only getting highs in the

low 70s. then we warm up. your full forecast in just two minutes. >> a live look at palo alto. not daly city. smooth flow of traffic. in san francisco, that's where 101 has a new cash. an update from chp as they arrive on scene and a big slowing coming up. here is a look at today's top stories. a 6-year-old boy has died after he was reportedly mauled by a dog in union city. neighbors say emergency crews showed up at the home yesterday morning after the incident. they also say there were a at least two dogs in the home. one of them was removed by authorities. police are expected to release more details this morning. a state senate committee discussing limousine safety today in response to a deadly fire that killed five people on the san mateo bridge just last night. that bill from san mateo senator jerry hill would require all limb scenes to carry fire extinguishers. the head of the national security agency is back on

capitol hill expected to share more details about his agency's surveillance. this comes after american0cu edd snowden leaked information on government wiretapping. snowden remains in hiding. we can tell you yahoo! revealing how often it is asked for your data. >> scott mcgrew, the number really tells us nothing new about what the nsa is asking for. >> that's right. they're just too broad, the numbers. yahoo! says law enforcement in general asked the company for user data between 12 and 13,000 times in the past six months. those requests, however, include all law enforcement for all reasons, not just national security letters exclusively. yahoo!'s numbers are similar to what facebook and microsoft released over the weekend. they're broad numbers. this frustrates some of the folks at google. google has been pushing hard for government permission to tell you specifically how many times the nsa has asked or taken data

under the prison program. those are the numbers that everyone actually cares about. one way of thinking of this is a crime rate. if a city tells you 13,000 crimes were committed but doesn't specify how many of those were parking tickets, you don't have a very clear picture of what's going on. the fed starts that two-day meeting today. we get data on the housing starts as well. last night on the 6:00 news kris sanchez had an in depth report on the excellent growth of construction in the bay area. it's worth watching it's on nbcbayarea.com right on the top of the page. as we reported, one of the problems facing construction is a lack of workers. the ucla anderson forecast last week raised the concern that so many people with construction skills left california during our latest bust a few years ago it is now actually difficult for job sites to find enough people. so if you have the skills, laura, grab yourself a hammer and you can get yourself a job.

>> all right. no hesitation at all. thank you very much. >> get your hard hat, too. please be safe. >> don't be surprised, boy, because women can do it all. in a matter of hours the pentagon expected to announce that women will be eligible for combat roles. it's a move we've been expecting since january when the official announcement was made. "today in the bay's" marla tellez has more on what to expect. >> it was almost five months ago when then secretary of defense leon panetta lifted the ban on women serving in combat roles. today we'll see the next step play out when the military is expected to say, women, you can train as navy s.e.a.l.s, army rangers and other front line jobs. the plan says women could start training as army rangers by mid 2015 and as navy s.e.a.l.s a year later. to qualify for either position women will be expected to pass the very same physical tests and requirements as men. this means, for instance, to

become a navy s.e.a.l., women will have to be able to swim 500 yards, do a certain number of push-ups, sit-ups and pull-ups and run 1 1/2 miles in a short amount of time, just as is expected of male candidates. supporters include the aclu which actually sued the government last fall over the exclusion of women in combat roles. we spoke to the attorney in that case who said it's about time women are given the chance to get the specialized training since they are already dieing for our country. >> women have been serving in combat roles on the ground in iraq and afghanistan and have been serving alongside men in ground combat positions even in units. >> in all, 150 women have been killed in combat in the iraq and afghanistan wars. still opponents say it's better to keep the direct combat units all male. >> there is not one test, study, report or military experience that shows that women are the physical equals of men.

>> women comprise about 14% of all active military members and already serve as combat pilots in three branches in our -dwqáary. secretary of defense chuck hagel is expected to lay out the details at 11:30 this morning. coming up, how the change will going to financially cost the military in order to deal with certain privacy needs of women. that's coming up about 6:54. >> we'll look forward to that. >> important story. what you didn't get to see, christina loren was working on her moves there. >> one-arm push-ups right there. >> just to make sure we're all safe, i do have a permit for these guns. 6:18. good morning to you. take you outside. what a great day to get out there and exercise. yeah, that's motivation for us women. i like seeing stories like that. taking you live outside, san jose, a beautiful start to the day as you get your kids up and maybe letting them sleep in the they're off for summertime.

it's one those days where it's going to be perfect for outdoor activities. we'll see cool weather and full sunshine simultaneously. 56 degrees. good morning to you in san mateo. 55 in concord to start the day. hopefully off to a good start on tuesday. done with monday. that's already good news. our winds are coming out of the west more or less, starting to shift a little bit. out of the west at 22 miles per hour, strong enough to knock your high-profile vehicle around. travel cautiously especially over the open water bridges this morning. we have an area of low pressure that's going to bring about significant changes. the coolest day of the week, the area of low pressure sits in the pacific northwest. all the shower activity stays to the north. the cool air will continue to funnel inland as we head through the day today. even about 1:00 p.m., expecting a weak disturbance to come through. you will notice a few clouds overhead between about 11:00 and 2:00 p.m. full sunshine will reenforce the cool air that's already in place. we'll meet back here tomorrow at

6:00 a.m., still tracking low clouds and fog. by thursday into friday, a big dome of high pressure moves in. this will start to warm us up. not to record levels. talking about a mild warmup. we could be seeing the 90s this time of year. that's not even on the seven-day outlook. for today only talking about the 70s. 73 degrees in livermore, 69 in fremont. san francisco, grab that jacket. you're going to struggle to break out of the 50s today. getting into the end of the week and the all-important weekend, up to 87 degrees. the peak, not too hot. let's check the drive. >> you'll be held up if you're leaving san francisco right now. the volume of traffic, although that's relatively light, we do have the crash and the updated details from chp. here is your drive through san francisco coming from the north bay, easy drive across the golden gate bridge. bay bridge, the backup at the top plaza. it's still there. here, the new location, chp says southbound 101 where i talked about the slowing towards silver

avenue, that's where you have the crash involving at least the motorcycle. one report says there's a bus involved. that sounds really dramatic. we sent our chopper over there. they're having an issue getting there. there's low clouds and they're approaching the city side. they'll get us that look as soon as we can. we don't see it. they're scanning. if we do get that, hopefully we can get it back on screen. i'll tell you about what's going on. over at the san mateo bridge they're trying hard to find that. over here, you might be get caught with a gust or two as the winds continue to travel around the bay. we will show you on the maps, the road weather index shows in that area, san bruno to daly city, we have the wind showing up on the sensors. tried in with the weather maps for the traffic system. over here, the tri-valley continuing with a nice easy drive, slower out of the altamont pass in livermore. very light for 621 on a traffic

the rebels. on the other side you have russia which is backing the syrian government and wants to see them at the negotiating table. interesting with so many different perspectives, president obama and president putin of russia were able to come together and come up with a general agreement that they want to see this violence end. they want to see chemical weapons secured and they want to see a number of different groups at the negotiating table, though president obama specified off camera not president assad. that's one issue they're dealing with. they're also looking at the economy and global trade and making progress, we're told, on a trade deal between the u.s. and the eu. overshadows all this, these new allegations from the self-proclaimed whistle-blower edward snoweden was the u.s. spying on its own people, but also that the u.s. helped great britain at the last g-20 summit back in 2009 to spy on world leaders who were at that summit.
