scene now working, battling very hard trying to get a handle on this blaze along with five helicopters there and five air tankers. we also learned crews from san mateo county and santa cruz county have gone down to help fight the fire. there is no word on exactly what has caused the fire. now to breaking news in texas where an overnight shooting spree has left at least four people dead and four others injured at two homes in the dallas area. we just learned two of the injured are boys, 11 1357and 13 years old. one man is behind bars and police say is responsible for pulling the trigger first in dallas and then in the nearby home of desoto. when police got to the scene, they found four people with gunshot wounds, two people were

pronounced dead right there. authorities say the same man fled to nearby desoto where he opened fire again, killing two more people and wounding two others. lelene smith says her daughter and granddaughter are among the dead. >> i came back in and went to nia's room. that's where i found her mom. hopefully they didn't suffer long. >> ms. smith says the shooter was her daughter's boip boyfriend. no word on the condition of the her four victims. in oakland police continue gathering more information as they look into the disappearance of sandra coke. officers left her home with two bags of evidence yesterday afternoon. coke, for the record, is an investigator for the federal defenders office. she was last seen sunday night when family members say she was going to walgreens and she never

returned. they had previously said she was going to meet somebody who found her dog which had been missing for months. both of coke's cell phones were found in different parts of the east bay, and officers are now investigating her cell phone records. it is 6:04. he survived the crash of asiana flight 214 at sfo, but more than a month later he says he cannot escape the physical pain or the nightmares and now he's suing. 60-year-old henry xie says he cannot leave the bay yar until he recovers from a cracked jaw, strained neck and shattered vertebrae. he and his wife filed a lawsuit against the airlines in the u.s. district court in san francisco claiming gross negligence and seeking at least $5 million in damages. the college professor says he isn't sure if the pain will ever go away. >> the bone was broken. for my injury, i don't know if there will be some -- can heal

or not. i don't know. >> attorneys with the airline have yet to respond to our request for comment on the lawsuit. wle have much more of this exclusive interview coming up at 6:30 in a live report from "today in the bay's" christie smith. no news is not always good news as no talk between b.a.r.t. and its unions are expected today. we can tell you the board will be holding one of its regular meetings. both sides laying out grievances yesterday to a special three-member panel appointed by governor jerry brown. that panel will present its findings to the governor but it will not be making a recommendation. that is ultimately up to governor brown himself to decide if a cooling off period is needed. during yesterday's hearing b.a.r.t. and its unions couldn't agree on the numbers. b.a.r.t. says the two sides are about $62 million apart on the three-year contract. meantime, the union says the difference is only $56 million.

if the governor does not order that cooling-off period, do brace yourselves, b.a.r.t. strike could happen on monday. students holding a rally at a local courthouse demanding their ap test scores be reinstated. students at mills high school in millbrae filed the lawsuit against the college board and ets earlier this week. the organization invalidated hundreds of students' ap test scores because of a seating chart violation. while ets is arranging for a retesting period late they are month, many students say they don't have sufficient time to get ready. the time now is 6:06. if you took that leap of faith and bought one of your tickets, we suggest you take a very close look right now. the latest powerball drawing made at least a dozen people a whole lot happier and richer this morning. >> most of them are from california.

people who got the second place tickets. they were one number off from the $448 million jackpot. nine name the state of california got second place. that's roughly $290,000, and one of those second place tickets was sold at this shell station in sunnyvale at lawrence expressway and lake haven. numbers are 5, 25, 30, 58, 59, powerball 32. again, this shell station sold one of the tickets that has the first five numbers, just not the powerball. we spoke with the owner within the past 45 minutes. he's telling us he's waiting for one of his customers to come forward with this winning ticket. >> somebody came yesterday and bought $70. probably him. >> you think it's him? >> yeah, maybe. i'm thinking, yeah. >> you're going to get a little cut, too. >> we'll get some commission. >> that's not bad.

>> it's not bad. >> have you checked your ticket? >> i didn't buy yesterday, no. my brother, he bought it. >> has he checked his ticket? >> not yet, no. >> we're wondering if the three people in the midwest and east coast checked their tickets because there are three winning tickets. these are tickets that had all five numbers plus the powerball, one in minnesota, two in jersey. you're looking at video from a super stop n shop that sold one of the winning tickets. an acme market in little egg harbor, jersey, that sold the other. they have not released the location of the retailer in minnesota. those three tickets will split the $448 million jackpot. before taxes it comes out to a measly $150 million. again, one $290,000 ticket shoeld at this shell in sunnyvale on lawrence expressway. if you come here regularly, maybe you're that person. live in sunnyvale, bob redell, "today in the bay."

people are being stranded on top of their homes. some sitting on their cars. they're waiting to be rescued. national fire department teaming up with the office of emergency management. they've got boats out there trying to rescue the locals there in town. unfortunately rain is expected through saturday. not able to tell how many inches have fallen there. definitely significant rainfall. the good news we can report, no flood-related injuries or death investigation been reported. this is all under way in davidson county in nashville, tennessee. much closer to home. also happening now, a massive wildfire still in southern california burning out of control. we can tell you at least nine square miles have burned near the town of banning in riverside county, about 20 miles west of palm springs. these live pictures we bring you, you can see the smoke billowing into the air. the fire has been very intense and very big there. overnight the fire damaged or destroyed dozens of buildings, about 1500 people in that area

are under evacuation. we have heard there have been injuries, two people -- actually reported that three people are injured. right now we don't know the condition. >> among those injured weeks hearing two firefighters were injured and another person taken to the hospital with burns. we don't know the severity of the burns. this is a story we have been keeping our eye on since this fire broke out about 2:00 yesterday afternoon. right now we want to check in with "today in the bay's" tina esidene not far from where the fires are burning. >> reporter: good morning marla and jon. we're along the southwestern end of cabson, about two to three miles south of banning. this is along the 10 freeway east heading towards palm springs. what i'm showing you now is a portion of the mourn tan known as cabison peak. you can see firefighters have

gotten a little of their wish. they were hoping overnight with the cooler temperatures and the higher humidity they would be able to get handle on this fire. it appears now, as you can see, they have done so. this is starkly different from what we were seeing overnight when the flames were encroaching on this mountain and making it very difficult for firefighters to gain control and the upper hand. i'm also going to show you a little built of what's happened now with the sunrise. you q see that the smoke is still lingering very heavy here in the air, low-lying smoke making the air quality out here very unhealthful. this is another factor that the fire tighters are having to deal with as well as the people hear's evacuated from their homes. so far the number of people evacuated ranging in the area of about 1,800. so planity of issues going on out here as well. but firefightersq really hoping that this morning's cooler temperatures was going to give them the upper hand. as we mentioned, this is called

the silver fire and it's quickly charted 1600 acres. this fire started at only a few hundred acres but grew to thousands within a matter of a few hours. firefighters knew at that point they had a demon on their hands. homeowners watched everything they had burned. some tried to use garden hoses to fight the flames. giving all of those that watched this take place a level of desperation felt out here. with the nightfall firefighters tried to level the playing field, hoping these cooler temperatures would help. you can see from the live pictures it has helped, at least apparently so far. the hope here is that the o progress made overnight will continue throughout the day. so now new evacuation, mandatory evacuation orders have been taking place here in this area. many of these people forced to flee their homes. as you can see from the smoke and the ash that we have been encountering throughout the morning, that the dangerous

conditions do continue and the containment here at this point is at hero. a lot of work still to do. reporting to you live from banning for "today in the bay." >> this is about 20 miles from palm springs which is where you're from. so you know, and you were mentioning that the winds are always a problem there. >> you can definitely see how her hair was blowing in the wind. wind is a big problem in that area. just to give you a better idea if you know where casino murango is, it's in that general vicini vicinity. this is also in the same area where we had to deal with the mountain fire. they've been getting hit hard in riverside county. here in the bay area, we've been getting absolutely spoiled. a mom in palm springs and sister in nashville. taking a live look here, foggy conditions, foggy conditions. that's all we have to worry about here in the bay area. nonetheless, you know how that fog works. it drifts around. it's hard to tell when you'd lootds visibility. sometimes you can litz just like
