authorities say the same man fled to nearby desoto where he opened fire wounding two others. lerlene smith says her daughter and granddaughter are among the dead. >> i came back in, went to mia's room, and that's where i found her mother lying in the doorway. everything he was throwing. i don't know what he was doing. hopefully they didn't suffer long. >> so sad. smith says the shooter was her daughter's boyfriend. he was arrested at that second scene. no word yet on the condition of the other four victims. oakland police continue to gather information as they look into the disappearance of sandra coke. officers left her home with two bags of evidence yesterday afternoon. coke is an investigator for the federal defender's office in sacramento. she was last seen sunday night when family members say she was going to walgreens and never

"today in the bay's" bob redell is live in sunnyvale where one of the winning tickets was sold. it's not the big-time jackpot, but still a considerable amount of cash. >> reporter: yes, good morning to you, marla. we're at the shell station at lawrence expressway and lake haven. that is one of nine lotto retailers in the state of california that sold second place tickets, not worth the

$448 million jackpot, but around $290,000. not too shabby. these are tickets that had all five numbers, but missed the powerball. if you're just waking up right now and wondering, hey, can that be me, here are the numbers, 5, 25, 30, 58, 59, powerball 32. there were three people outside of california who picked all five numbers plus the powerball. one in minnesota, two in new jersey. this super stop n shop in south brunswick, new jersey, sold one of the winning tickets. an acme market in little egg harbor in new jersey that sold the other. they haven't disclosed the location in minnesota that sold the third tinge. those three will split the $448 million jackpot which comes out to about $150 million each before taxes. not too bad. reporting live in sunnyvale. we're still waiting for this shell station to open and see what happens. bob redell torques day in the

bay. >> see if somebody shows up crying with joy. >> tears of joy. while none of us in the newsroom got any slice of that, the good news is every day we hit the powerball weather wise. >> christina loren, you're on the board on that one? >> sure. you know what, so much scenery around the bay area. i think that's why we fork out the big bucks to live here. likely you've been saving some of that hard earned cash on your pg&e bill. it's been unseasonably cool all month long. today more of the same. this is searching for low clouds and fog. you can see at abilities 8:00 a.m., livermore through antioch and concord getting the low cloud cover, a little drizzle out there. look what happens, by about 10:00 a.m., we're still mostly cloudy over the west end of shea through palo alto and up and down the peninsula. finally by about 2:00 p.m., we'll get sunshine. san francisco looking like a repeat performance from yesterday.

what i can tell you is we've got more ground level moisture out there this morning. and so you will find slick conditions. we'll talk to anthony about your drive. for today, 72 in san jose, 69 in fremont and 64 in san francisco with a gradual warmup headed our way. i'll get to that in my next report. as promised, here is anthony. >> still keeping an eye on the construction happening near the lake merritt area on 880. it's not impending a whole lot of traffic. you can see more cars on the road right now. as you make your way through that area, keep in mind as you finish the construction dwlu eel have more neighbors on the rode with you. on the traffic maps, red on the southbound side. northbound not too bad. we're starting to see slow pockets in the altamont pass. also in antioch on four, if you lose that route, a little slowing, once you get to pittsburgh, not too bad. thank you. anthony, here is an interesting story on the roads, a marin county man set to be in court to appeal a citation for a car pool

lane violation. his name, jonathan freeman. he drove in that car pool lane all by himself and he was hit with a ticket for that effort. he says no, he wasn't really alone. he had his corporation papers along for the ride. and since corporations are defined as people under u.s. law, he says that should allow him to drive in that car pool lane. no word yet if the papers actually had a seatbelt on. freeman says he will appeal his ticket to prove a point. >> those tickets are not cheap. i don't know where i was over the weekend, but it was $481. >> 481 bucks? >> yeah. >> a steep price to get where you need to quickly. but the cops are hardly around watching. i'm not suggesting you do it. i'm saying people do it from time to time. a new report out looks at which small cars are safest for your family. also, well, these look like a lot of fun. i'd actually like to try one. one popular tourist destination

analysts on the phone wednesday afternoon, ceo elon musk says not this year, but full scale production in 2015. tesla is a stock to watch this morning. it's actually bigger than isuzu. bertha coombs is live at cnbc headquarters with a look ahead to trading. good morning, bertha. >> isuzu. i never even see those on the road. meantime futures are higher this morning. stocks have fallen for three days in a row. looks like we're set for a bounceback. markets spooked by comments from fed officials who seem to be suggesting the central bank could cut back on the stimulus program next month. today we'll get data in just about 20 minutes on new filings for weekly unemployment. last week they fell to a five-year low, expected to rise a little this week. but that's certainly going to help set the tone. the dow will start at 15,471 after dropping 48 points.

phones i'd like to flip through it. >> the softer side of jon. >> you didn't know i had that side? >> we all need to get together and put together a scrap book. >> i guess i'm teflon man or something. >> no. not a lot of grown men will admit they want to put a scrap book together. 5:14. it takes a big man to do it. 59 to start in gilroy, and you can probably go sans jacket this morning. if you are driving along the coastline, you have to head outdoors this morning for any duration, maybe waiting for the bus, i would say make sure you bring something with you to protect your clothes. we have this steady drizzle coming down. that was the case at the giants game last night. same deal for this morning. as we head throughout the day today, the cool ocean air remains inland. the second half of the day is going to be beautiful. it's the last day of the 70s inland. 78 in livermore, 77 in gilroy.

look for a high around 74 degrees in los gatos today. as we head throughout the next couple days, it is going to get warmer, but not by much. until the end of next week we're still not talking about any big heat for tuesday and wednesday, those are your seasonal averages. by thursday into friday, though, that climb continues. if you want to hit the beach, not so great this weekend, but much warmer conditions getting into the upcoming weekend. the great news is it's friday eve. that drive is picking up, anthony. >> it is friday eve. happy about that. more cars on the road on 880. this is the southbound side. northbound moving smoothly. we did have construction near the lake merritt area that's been going on for the past few months. keep in mind that they're still getting off the roads there. as far as the rest of the area goes, you'll notice the bay bridge approach, starting to see more cars there. things are still moving smoothly even at the bay bridge toll plaza, getting right on through there. you can see how it looks from our perspective as we look at our computeers, lots of green on

the map. the slow spots right now through the altamont pass, coming down 580 into livermore. once you get past livermore, things are smooth into pleasanton and dublin. if you use route 4 towards antioch we're seeing slowing, typical for this time of morning. down in the south bay if you commute on 17, we have drizzle an fog moving through the santa cruz mountains. that is headed towards the south bay into santa cruz if you're using that route. you'll notice if you're moving into the south bay from santa cruz or the santa cruz mountains, things are moving smoothly. again, remember those windshield wipers. back over to you. it's 5:16. a new study out this morning looks at which small cars are best for your family. the insurance institute for highway safety says six of the small 12 cars it tested do well in a front crash test. among those tested, the two door and four door honda civic received a top rating of good. the dodge dart, ford focus,
