new this morning, off-duty alameda county sheriff's deputy involved in a shoot-out. the details we're learning, next. a south bay college campus on edge after a trio of girls robs a man at gunpoint. what they took and what campus police are telling us today. and 911. the new trouble this morning for the ambulance company serving millions of people in the south bay. and right now, we take you live to the south bay as we give you a live look out at san jose. off in the distance, it looks like a little haze out there. we'll see how your friday morning is shaping up when we check in with christina loren in a moment. this is "today in the bay."

it's 4:30. good morning, i'm in for john. >> and a lot to get to. but let's check the friday forecast with meteorologist christina loren. good morning. >> good morning to you, marla and laura. good morning at home. i want to start with the current temperatures. it is nice and crisp out there. but we are starting with mostly clear conditions. that means petaluma was able to drop into the upper 40s, and without that cloud cover to start the day, i can tell you right now it will be warmer. 57 degrees in san jose right now. 51 in gilroy. today, we're going to tack on about 5 to 8 degrees of warming, and fire season very active in the state of california. we're going to talk about a couple of wildfires currently burning and what that could mean for the resources for the entire state. that's coming up. 57 degrees in san jose. not a bad start. let's find out how we're doing on the roads. it's early, mike. >> yes, but it's also friday. i'm happy and i'm tired. looking over here at the san mateo bridge, a live look as

you're facing west, the taillights away. the light volume. the high-rise and the flat section. low clouds drifting around. so far, it's just fine as far as the view goes. and the maps farther east, the dublin interchange, through livermore, not a concern. the red zone, there was overnight construction. and this is a little bit severe for the construction that typically happens through the area. i'll let you kn. chp hasn't given me any special notes but i'll do more homework. we'll send it back to you. in the meantime, we have breaking news in the east bay. an armed robbery suspect is dead. shot and killed by an off-duty sheriff's deputy in alameda overnight. the alameda county sheriff's deputy said two suspects tried to rob the market just after 10:30 last night. the deputy who was off duty and inside the grocery store at the time pulled out his gun and at some point, deputies say he shot and killed one of the suspects. the other got away and is still on the run this morning.

we're told there were a couple of employees and customers inside the store during the chaos. christy smith is gathering information at the scenement she'll have a live report in the next half hour. we will finally learn this morning what caused the death of one of the passengers of arabsi flight 214. they will reveal the cause of death for the teenager. this morning, "the san francisco chronicle" is reporting two people close to the investigation are saying the 16-year-old survived the crash but died of blunt force trauma, presumably after being hit by an emergency vehicle that was responding to the crash. the "chronicle" says san francisco fire and police chiefs have both declined to comment. three people died when the plane crashed on an sfo runway on july 6th. the coroner will hold a news conference at 10:00 this morning. it is 4:33. san jose state police say three women are on the run this morning suspected of robbing a man at gunpoint late last night. it happened on the north side of campus near clark hall.

police say the three women approached the man and at least one of them had a gun. they say the women took off with the man's laptop. campus police sent out a text alert to students letting them know what had happened. we spoke to one student who is now thinking twice about taking classes at night. >> i'm going to be more apprehensive about it. i might even have to forego those evening classes, because i'm -- it does send some fear and some concern. >> police say the man who was robbed is not a student. they also say two of the female suspects were wearing red. the third was dressed in black. it is 4:34. oakland police say they need help from the community to identify the gunman who shot and killed an 8-year-old girl at a slumber party wednesday night. close to 50 people gathered for this vigil across the street from the apartment where alaysha carradine and three others were shot. police say someone knocked on the door late wednesday night and alaysha's friend opened it, thinking it was her mother.

well, that's when the shooter began firing, hitting those two girls, a 4-year-old boy, and their grandmother. people at the vigil telling us they've had enough of the violence in oakland. >> how many more lives have to be shed? how many more mothers have to bury their babies? >> this loss of life has got to stop, and we're going to do everything we possibly can to catch this person. this is unacceptable. >> the 4-year-old boy, 7-year-old girl and the grandmother are still recovering this morning. doctors say their conditions are stable. former santa clara county supervisor will return to a courtroom today charged with impersonating a political rival. you'll recall he is accused of sending out campaign mailers in the name of cracao in 2010 picturing her with a north vietnamese north korean flag, very offensive to the korean

community. he is facing prison time after pleading guilty to separate charges of perjury. prosecutors are trying to increase his sentence to a count for the new charges. the ambulance company that provides emergency services in the south bay has run into some financial trouble. the mercury news reports rural metro corp. missed a bond payment deadline this week. santa clara county officials say they're concerned about whether the company will be able to continue its services. rural metro has paid millions in fines to the county for arriving late and also failing to keep enough ambulances ready on stand-by to be deployed. in a statement, the company says it plans to make the missed bond payment within the next 30 days. happening now, the wildfire burning near palm springs has now forced thousands of residents and tourists to evacuate. about 4,000 houses, condos, cabins, and several hotels in idyllwild and surrounding communities are threatened by the mountain fire. the fire has burned nearly 23,000 acres, still just 15%

contained. authorities say the fire was human-caused but would not say whether it was accidental or intentional. people say at some point, it's raining ashdown there. i know meteorologist christina loren, your mom lives nearby that fire. >> yes, she does. she lives very close to it. what i'm concerned about is that's really putting a strain on the resources for the state of california. we had a little wildfire -- brush fire, excuse me, break out in livermore. and we also have a fire burning near big sur that we'll talk about in a few moments. what that means for us is we need to be on the absolute best of fire safety, especially getting into this weekend and the next two months in general. we've got the big strong ridge of high pressure. this is not only going to bump up the temperatures today. we're also talking about the inclusion of thunderstorms and potential dry lightning strikes as we get into the end of the weekend, monday, tuesday, wednesday, the pattern continues. so this is something that's very -- we've been talking about it, just about all summer long. but it hasn't happened just yet. we don't want it to happen.

we want to make sure everybody is on their best fire safety, and, yeah, this could be a bad one down in palm springs. only 15% containment. the one in big sur, they should get that knocked down this weekend. we'll look at what that means for camping. if you had camping plans, you might want to rethink those. 66 in san francisco. 82 degrees in redwood city. we've got a giants game in town. we'll have the forecast for that coming up. lots to talk about when it comes to weather, especially for the weekend. stick around. 4:38. if you have to get out the front door, the man who knows what could slow you down and a lot more, mike. >> well, thank you. not sure yet, mostly. 880, moving past the coliseum, some construction north and south. we'll talk about that. the bigger issue, first of all, taking you to the maps and looking over here, in tracy, it's moving smoothly. west to 580, look at this. average speed of 44 miles per hour. now, that's really, really not representative of the entire drive. because over here at the cal trans live cameras taken a few

minutes ago, a screen shot. you can see sparsely populated. just a couple of headlights in either direction. moving forward, we see that you're basically in the green zone over to the approach dardy and hopyard. that's where the construction is. i did check, and it's still two lanes overnight. but we see more slowing. perhaps we do have a little longer stretch or we might have a few more vehicles that are moving very slowly as far as the construction crews causing a little slowdown there. and now, just east of there, heading through castro valley, again, that might be a crew that's starting to clear right now, having some of the slower vehicles running through the area. we'll keep on tracking that. meanwhile, as we're looking over toward the bay bridge, oakland 880 slowing in both directions just north of the coliseum. some of the crews will stick around until 5:00, 5:3067. we have one lane blocked and it will create some slowing. on the peninsula, a lot of scattered slowing showing through areas for 280 around 380, in both directions with construction overnight as well. not a major concern.

south bay, a quick look, 101 northbound shows very easy drive right now. it's friday. we're hoping for the light. back to you. >> fingers crossed. 4:40 now. a plan to build more housing in the bay area now has the green light. but not everyone is happy about it today. the metropolitan transportation commission says another 2 million people will move to the bay area by 2040. hoping to avoid gridlock and a housing shortage, bay area leaders approved a plan overnight that requires the nine counties to add more than 180,000 housing units for people of all income levels. the plan is called plan bay area. it also calls for the housing to be located close to public transportation to help reduce greenhouse gases. last night, people both for and against the plan voiced their opinions at a packed meeting in oakland. >> i don't live out in the country to be stacked and packed in a transit village gulag without my car. >> we need affordable housing.

and we need to keep people working and living in the same area. and i want people to stop driving so much. >> the mtc has $350 million available to pay for infrastructure needed for new housing. the cities can now tap into that money to start building. saturday's popular music in the park is back, but for one night only. the popular event is turning 25, and to celebrate, a special one-night concert is being held tonight at st. james park. the grammy award winning latin rock band is headlining the show, which starts at 5:30. one major difference for tonight's concert, it's not free. sorry. tickets cost $10 in advance, 15 bucks at the gate. summer concert series was cancelled last year because organizers say the crowds got too big for the downtown venue. >> i bet it will still be packed. >> i bet a nice night, too. >> absolutely. it's 4:41. it may be early to start thinking about back-to-school shopping, but wait until you hear the deal one retailer is

offering to get you in the door now. plus, how the heat wave hitting other parts of america could affect your grocery bill. we'll tell you why you could soon be paying more for a popular grocery store staple. and last month's deadly building collapse in philadelphia caught on camera. we'll show you this brand-new video just released.

welcome back. it's 4:45. this morning, sears is issuing another recall of nearly 800,000 kenmore dehumidifiers. the company says it's received several new reports of fires linked to the appliance. in one case, one person was seriously burned. the recall covers 35, 50, sand 70-pint dehumidifiers can the kenmore logo made by lg electronics between 2003 and 2005. this is the second recall for the appliance. the first was issued last year. 4:45. the governor of michigan is expected to speak this morning just one day after the city of detroit filed for bankruptcy. governor rick snyder says the financial mess was 60 years in the making, and there was no other option. but to file for chapter 9 bankruptcy protection. detroit is $18 billion in debt

thanks to a huge population decline and troubles in the auto industry. the city will now have to sell off assets and scale back services, but the city emergency manager says bankruptcy is the first step toward restoring detroit. it will take up to 90 days now for the bankruptcy filing to be approved. and as you know, marla, when one of the nation's biggest cities files for bankruptcy, it definitely affects the markets. seema is live at the cnbc world headquarters with a look at how futures are trading. good morning, seema. >> reporter: laura, good morning. let's start with the markets, because the futures now are lower as stocks could feel the heat today from google and microsoft. both of which reported disappointing earnings last night. microsoft continues to be hurt by slumping pc sales and took a loss from unsold inventory of its surface tablet. google's results were impacted by lower prices for web ads and losses from the motorola business. the markets had closed at record highs on thursday on more soothing words from ben bernanke

as well as positive data on unemployment. the dow rising 78. the nasdaq edging up by one point. it's only mid-july, but best buy is already getting a head-start on the back-to-school shopping season. can you believe it? the electronic retailer has cut prices on apple's macbook pro laptop by $200. act fast, the offer ends next week. back to you. >> all right. a lot of people want to take advantage of that one. thank you, seema. california might not have experienced the hot weather the east coast is experiencing, but dairy farmers say when it gets hot like this, there's one side effect that many people don't realize, and that's higher milk prices. they say cows produce less milk when it's hot, sometimes more than a gallon below their normal rate. one dairy farmer has large fans and a misting system to keep his cows cool. >> the ideal temperature for cows is, like, 45 degrees. we do all we can to keep lots of air moving and refresh them with some water.

>> 45 degrees? man, that's cold. the farmer says as long as his cows are eating, they are producing. >> hey, i grew up from a dairy farmer and happy cows in california. i think we'll be just fine. >> there's a whole commercial campaign for that, too. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i like the sound of that, because i drink a lot of milk, straight out of the carton, as a matter of fact. that's how -- >> milk does a body good. >> i don't eat my vegetables, but i drink a lot of milk. 4:48. good morning to you. it's good for women. it helps our bones, so, hey, 50 degrees in sonoma. 58 in napa to start the day. a beautiful day shaping up across the bay area. i can tell you it will be hot in the east bay, but it's the dry heat we're so accustomed to around here. the humidity returns as of sunday, and we'll also add thunderstorms to the forecast. i want to talk about the fire i told you about. this is los padres national

forest, and if you know the area, it's one of the best places to head for camping, checking out big sur. this is very close. i want to give you a look at it on the map. it's just one mile to the north of tassajara hot springs and if you're camping this weekend, it could interrupt the plans. you won't get the best air quality. a better camping trip, just about as far of a trip, up to the sierra-nevada, tahoe this weekend. but this fire. they're having issues. they can't get to it with the fire truck, only by foot, only by air. right now, it's 5% contained. so this is where our firefighters locally are working. meanwhile, we have the big fire burning down south. and so, we're getting into that time of year -- we told you it could be a very bad fire season, but not with your help. the best thing when it comes to the natural elements, the potential lightning strikes we do have in the area, getting into this weekend, monday, tuesday, wednesday, if you see a brush fire, please pull over, let somebody know. the sooner we knock those down,

the less of a threat it will pose to the overall state, which resources now are being spread very thin. so i'm getting pretty concerned. the pattern we have, not only hotter. yeah, we've got the lightning strikes. let's talk about that. starting on sunday, we have a better chance tuesday into wednesday. we're expecting the humidity to creep up. we'll see a mix of sun and clouds. so it won't be too hot. we're not talking triple digits. but it will feel warmer with the humidity in the forecast. temperatures dropping to the upper 80s tuesday into wednesday. but we have a really good chance for some thunderstorms as we head through thursday. that looks like the most active day in the extended period. that monsoonal moisture will come up, and weather actually moves east to west, but through next week, the overall flow for the state -- the state and the entire nation, is going to be east to west. so really bizarre pattern. we'll show that to you. now, back to you, ladies. new video just in of last month's deadly collapse of a building in philadelphia. look at this. a city bus was driving by just

as the four-story building, you see it highlighted there, came crashing down on a salvation army thrift store. it happened in early june. six people were killed, 13 others hurt. the building was in the process of being demolished when it actually collapsed. police say the man operating the heavy equipment during the demolition had marijuana and pain killers in his system. he faces a number of felony counts. it is 4:51. the "rolling stone" issue featuring the boston bombing suspect hits store shelves this morning, but you might have a hard time finding it. cvs, rite aid and walgreens all say they will not carry it. you may recall, it features dzhokhar tsarnaev, and some say "rolling stone" made him look too much like a rock star. yesterday, new photos were released in response to the cover photo under the headline "the real face of terror." they show a sniper's target centered up on his forehead,

images taken by the tactical photographer who, by the way, is now in trouble for releasing the photos. he has been temporarily removed from his duties and will face a hearing next week. it is 4:52. a bay area astronomer makes an out of this world discovery. plus, a san jose earthquakes go head to head with some rodeo bulls. details on tonight's special events. and we're looking over here toward freemont, 880 moving smoothly, the truck scales and, what, a smooth drive to that area. we'll show you spots farther south and east of here where there's a little slowing.
