you, peggy. it's amazing that seven people were shot and none of their injuries are life threatening. all of them taken to sf general hospital with injuries to their arms, legs, extremities. what police are telling us is that this started as a fight between several people in the tenderloin district last night, and at some point that fight escalated, someone pulled out a gun and opened fire. one witness described a chaotic scene having heard 18 shots possibly more. the intersection was shut down at turk and taylor for some time. police tried to investigate and question potential witnesses. >> just as a matter of course we follow up and canvas for witnesses and external video sources. >> reporter: san francisco police have not yet released suspect information or what the relationship was between those seven people who were shot.

spotted those objects close to detected lost remains of the airliner. good morning, bob. >> this is significant because this is the closest any ships have been to retrieving possible debris from malaysia flight 370 which has been missing for 17 days now. this morning a royal australian p-3 spotted what they say was a gray or green circular object, and another rectangular object. the hmas success is en route, could be picking up items. keep in mind the sun is about to go down so it might not be until tomorrow morning. this is happening about 1600 miles southwest of perth, australia. that's the bottom center of your screen there. those two items should be noted are different from the two large floating objects and small white ones spotted earlier by chinese military aircraft.

this morning new information about another object that was spotted days ago by a commercial aircraft. you might remember that wooden palate with the straps and belts. hours ago malaysia's transportation minister said there were palates but it's possible one fell off a cargo ship. i believe you are looking at video from a new zealand krarkt, and the united states are involved. they are trying to find these possible pieces of evidence looking out a plane window at 200 feet above the surface. not very easy. >> 200 miles an hour the world is whistling past and you're looking for an object in the white caps of the waves. >> it's disappointing we didn't find anything. >> over the weekend a chinese satellite spotted a large object in the southern indian ocean. 74 by 43 feet. it is in the general search area and recently a french satellite spotted debris in the same

the atmospheric river. so overall we're looking pretty good. i'm going to time the systems out. let you know when you can avoid the showers. if that's something you like to dodge. if you got anywhere to go mike is here. good morning. >> good morning. dodge, ford, mercedes, whatever you got we'll cover you. we're look over to palo alto which is a free drive now. and no problems around the bay. let me show you what you expect i guess for the most part things developing starting to get more traffic flow. but nothing dramatic except for look at this. livermore, eastbound we had slowing, a lot of slowing registering for the last few minutes. that started to clear up. the altamont pass, out of the tracy area, reports of debris around the 580/205 merge. there was traffic held up. now it's starting to make its way back westbound across into livermore so plan for that as you head over the next 20 to 30 minutes. a smoother drive approaching the bay bridge. no problems on the maze or the

unstable and triggered the slide. >> the san jose police officer accused of raping a woman in a hotel room could enter a plea today. jeffrey grays was arrested earlier this month. investigators say he forced his way into a hotel room and raped a woman while he was on duty. hours earlier graves and other officers were called to the woman's house when she got in a fight with her husband. she wanted to spend the night at a hotel so graves dropped her off. detectives say he later returned and sexually assaulted her. >> it started as a fight in san francisco and with seven sent to the hospital with gunshot wounds. this happened last night in the tenderloin district. christie smith is live with what police are now saying about this investigation. good morning, christie. >> reporter: good morning to you, peggy. that's right. seven people shot at one location, all of them taken to sf general last night being treated here. and all of them expected to survive in what san francisco police are saying is that they

are trying to check videotape from security cameras in the tender loin neighborhood where this happened to see if that will help them unravel what went down here and might lead them to the shooter. that's what they hope. investigators tell us it began as a fight between several people near turk and taylor streets before 9:00 last night. somehow that escalated, turned into gun fire, and seven people were hit. >> injuries are not life threatening, mostly extremity wounds. no suspect information at this time. >> reporter: the intersection was shut down for quite some time while investigators searched for clues. they have not said yet exactly what their relationship was if any of the seven people. police continue to gather information. they were also reaching out to witnesses and potential witnesses and still doing that and asking any one who may know anything about this to give san

we have the orange and yellow picking up for the tri-valley. toward that dublin interchange for west 580 or 84 westbound through livermore out of pleasanton you see the slowing because of the build, slow over here. the speeds as you travel to the north bay, southbound 101, still close to the limit for the most part, slowing through san rafael and approaching the golden gate bridge. approaching the toll plaza, a live look shows you the cash lanes, the ones off of the maze are the ones slowing now. fast track moving nicely and no metering lights looking for 20 minutes for those and the patterns shift. back to the desk. >> 5:38. the latest bay area county considering a ban on e-cigarettes. >> the president in europe working on a peaceful end to the crisis in ukraine. the latest on that coming up in a live report.

earlier this morning president obama landed in the netherlands, the first stop on a week-long trip through europe and the middle east. the top issue, the crisis in ukraine. danielle leigh live in washington with the high stakes meeting president obama is having today. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. this is going to be a big diplomatic test for the president and how successful he is at rallying european allies is going to have a big impact how we handle the crisis in ukraine. president obama is in the netherlands, he's had a couple meetings with high profile leaders and the big test is going to be later today when he meets with the leaders of the g-7 nations, the goal ta they are behind him and ready to step up sanctions against russia if need be. already the u.s. has put sanctions on russian leaders but president obama has indicated

that he's ready and willing to do more if russia moves further into ukraine. in ukraine there's a lot of anxiety because russian troops are lining up against the eastern border and there's a lot of questions what are their intentions about whether or not they intend to come in and president obama made it clear he'll take additional fx they do that. so this is going to be a pretty important week as the president travels through europe. later this week she going to be in belgium where he will bring up the crisis in ukraine with nato leaders, hoping to find a diplomatic solution. back to you. >> before you go, what's the challenge with convincing european allies to increase sanctions on russia? >> reporter: you know, the issue is with a lot of these european nations, their economies are closely tied to russia in terms of trading, resource, specifically natural resources, so any sanctions against russia, that could have a big backlash on these economies which are pretty weak right now so leaders

are concerned and really trying to weigh the benefits of any sanctions in terms of how they could negatively impact these countries. that's going to be the challenge for the president moving forward. >> thank you very much. live from washington. nearly 530 people were sentenced to death in egypt in one of the largest mass trials. the group supported ousted president mohammed morsi, convicted of attacking police and killing a police man in riots in august. the riots were in response to a crackdown on two pro morsi camps which killed hundreds. attorneys say the sentences were way too harsh and could be overturned on appeal. >> the california energy commission says the amount of crude oil being carried by trains to the bay area has sky-rocketed. thanks to an oil boom in north dakota and canada. trains are carrying about 2.7 million gallons ever crude oil into the bay every day. state senator jerry hill says

that has him worried. he points to an accident in quebec. hill says california could not respond to a disaster of that magnitude. >> it's the response time, and the preparedness that we don't have in california. we're back in about 1980 is where we are prepared for. we can't deal with that volume. >> in 2011 there were 9,000 tank cars filled with oil brought into california from out of state. by 2016 the energy commission says that could reach 200,000 tank cars. 10% would travel through the bay area. the trains are operated by burlington northern sante fe railway and sum through solano and contra costa counties. >> a shipping channel is closed because of a massive oil spill. a barge collided causing 170,000 gallons to spill into galveston bay. these are live pictures. more help is called in to

contain the spill and also protect important shore bird habitat near the peak of migration season, the timing couldn't be worse. oil has been found up to 12 miles into the gulf of mexico and as you can see from this live picture, parked in the bay as many as 60 ships are waiting to get in or out of the channel. >> the long term damage from that we still could -- could take time for the cleanup. >> a lot of environmentalists concerned. >> let's switch gears, check our microclimate forecast with meteorologist christina loren. we're in spring and it was a great weekend to garden. now some rain. >> and quite a bit of rain especially in the north bay. that's good news. a lot of people are concerned about the drought. you know what, you should be. as you know we've had three unseasonably dry years and as we head into the next couple weeks we could make up some significant totals. we could take a big chunk out of that deficit of everything works out just right, and just a

moment from now i'm going to show you what i see. you can be your own scientist. you can make your own hypothesis and tell me what you think. i'm going to tell you everything i'm looking at is looking good for maybe 6 inches of rainfall in the north bay. temperatures are nice and chilly this morning but not too bad. you might be able to get by without the heater, throw an extra blanket on. you won't need it, we're going to end up in the 70s today. it's going to be nice. you can see what's happening out there right now. our winds are shifting. they are going to move on shore throughout the day. we're getting a little bit of an off shore flow competing in oakland. as we head throughout the day as that on shore flow increases all of those are pointing off the ocean inland and what that means is we will see clouds really start to increase this afternoon. fog rolls in, you're going to hit 66, the peninsula increasing clouds, 76 for you. mostly sunny right here in the south bay. beautiful condition. you'll notice the increasing clouds in the north bay. by about 3:00 p.m. today.

east bay at 68, lots of sunshine for you. and out in the tri-valley could not be better. 78 degrees, because the storm system is going to take its time. here's what we expect. we stop the clock tomorrow morning at 8:00 a.m., we get our first round of rain. and this is the weaker of the three systems that we're anticipating here in the bay area. so this one's pretty weak. sthet thing in motion for you, stop that clock by 1:00 p.m., bay area at that point getting pretty good shower activity and this will continue as we head into the week and this weekend, so you want to keep in mind it's a washout weekend. so, tuesday, 8:00 p.m., starting to get more rainfall, looking pretty good for a thursday. you'll be able to get outdoors for most of thursday. friday a little more of a break, i want to widen out, though, and show you what's coming as we get into this weekend. we tap back into that atmospheric river. this is what happened when we picked up the 12-inch total in napa earlier on in the month. we're looking really good for some decent totals out of these three systems.

you can see as i widen out on sunday we're still hitting that tap. that's great news. i'll show you what we expect as far as totals go on a map coming up in my next report. you want to count on a slick drive tomorrow. let's see what we're working with. here is mike. >> right now we're looking at a drippy drive for you. talking about the changes for tomorrow morning make sure the wipers are in good order. here we do have a nice build but we're looking at the map. we don't see a lot of slowing for our census. a typical flow. down to 55 at the worst as you pass by and approach out of livermore, westbound 580 as well as west 84, slowing as you come into the commute directions. no surprises for sunol, south 680 into the south bay with this route. northbound 87, 10 un, shows the build as well. things build up about quarter to 6 as it is at 5:48 now. that will build up again. south 17, slowing shows up at 60 miles per hour and no incidents there. i'll track that as well because that is a concern for some over the summit.

the both sides of the bay look nice. a little build north 101 into san francisco, from about candlestick park you see the build for the lights heading into the 281 interchange. as well as across the bay bridge from the toll plaza you do have flow increasing on the oakland side, the cash lanes are what's backing up. the fast track lanes have a good advantage. no metering lights yet. the east shore freeway at about 60 miles per hour. we get you back to the maps, what we're talking about as well as the approach. 24 had earlier slowing but it has sorted itself out. oakland a nice drive and richmond/san rafael bij. the issue is we have couple of earlier crashes and in orange here because traffic ond the weather systems are tied together. our road weather index says a chance for fog out of santa rosa. but more likely along highway 1, bodega bay. we call that out in case you are expecting any one heading through that area.

>> it's 5:49. santa clara county could be the latest to crack down on e-cigarettes. tomorrow the board of supervisors will consider a measure treating the devices like traditional cigarettes. specifically would be illegal to use the gadgets at all county buildings and within 30 feet of outdoor service area. they would be banned in county vehicles. they will be billed as a -- they are, rather, billed as a safer, cleaner way to get a nicotine fix. they are growing in popularity. several studies looking into the health risks are under way now. just last week san francisco leaders approved a similar ban. >> a proposed contract will keep hospital workers on the job. school officials and the union represents workers reached a tentative agreement. union leaders say the new contract includes wage increases, secure benefits,

all of this is building north 101, i did see a set of lights on the shoulder. looks like it has cleared but we'll track that on the report. nothing there yet. the map shows the rest of the south bay moves through that area, just slowing toward 880. 5:57. 25 years later alaska still recovering after the devastating exxon valdez oil spill. >> a patient decides to find another way to the hospital after the paramedics start arguing with each other. what she is saying about the incident. >> we continue to follow breaking news after a commuter train goes off the rails in chicago, slides up an escalator. we'll hear from one of the people on board at the time.
