"today in the bay" peggy bunker just got to the scene. peggy, what can you tell us? >> good morning to both of you. the last time we chatted with you at san jose's 16th homicide and now we're at the city's 17th homicide. you can see the police activity here. we did talk to one of the san jose sergeants who said they were here all night long processing the scene and some activity tape over here. we'll show you earlier that they had around this house where they were trying to get some questions answered, but right now they're saying they don't have a lot of answers to this question. who was this adult male that was shot last night. was taken to the hospital by an acquaintance and later died at the hospital. no suspects right now that they can give us more information about. they are still actively processing this situation.

they've been here, once again, all night long. homicide is now involved as they try to get to the bottom of this situation. lots of questions left to be answered. they're still looking for what went down. the bigger question for, the elementary school is just a couple block away. we drove right by it on our way here. many people waking up hearing about what happened overnight last night and wondering about their kids going to school. they have gotten in touch with the school and notes being sent out to the parents this morning in case they have concerns about that. but, still, many questions left to be answered here in the 600 block of gridley in east san jose. in san jose, i'm peggy bunker for "today in the bay." >> that was 17, let's go back to 16. prosecutors will likely file murder charges today against the man who was found at the scene of san jose's 16th homicide. that happened last night on a home in canyon ridge drive in east san jose. officers say the victim is a

woman who was stabbed to death by someone she knew. according to police, the suspect was actually one of the people who called 911. when officers arrived, he was still there and they immediately arrested him. the victim died later at a hospital and investigators working on a motive trying to figure out how the two knew each other but investigators believed the suspect lived at one point. >> any time somebody gets stabbed, there's blood. the person died. now it's the detectives' job to make sure there is justs for the victim. >> neighbors tell us they think a teenager also lives in the home but no indication that child was present during the deadly stabbing. in the east bay officers shot and killed a reportedly suicidal woman. it happened last night just north of the concord b.a.r.t. station. officer say when they got there the woman came out of the house pointing a gun at them. one officer fired at her and she

died at the scene. the 57-year-old woman has a history of mental illness. a developing story new wildfire at camp pendleton forcing new evacuation orders in san diego county this morning. the fire broke out yesterday and completely uncontrolled. still no word on what may have sparked it. this comes as crews are battling a much larger fire at another part of camp pendleton. more than 6,000 acres, about the size of daly city has scorched in that fire. meantime, police have arrested a pair of suspects who allegedly started two small fires in escondido. >> we have people in cust dae. we don't know what this is going to lead to in terms of other fires, but certainly, in this case, a fire that could have started off kit carson park immediately extinguished and we had the suspects in custody. >> firefighters battling nine wildfires. nine homes and several businesses have been destroyed. more than $20 million in

damages. this morning another defect on the new span of the bay bridge. this time around, it's not the bolts, it's the rods, which hold up the long cables that you see around you when you drive through. in fact, there's new concern those rods may not hold up in an earthquake. "today in the bay" christie smith joins us live with details on how cal trans will think about fixing this problem. good morning, christie. >> good morning to you, laura. well, the problem is that these rods that have slipped are now close to a sharp edge steel plate. all of this is going on below deck. but cal trans engineers believe in a big quake the rods could be pushed against the sharp edge damaging the main cable and maybe even threatening the more seismically safe bridge. that according to "the chronicle." what this discovered is the rods moved and no longer wiggle room that is needed between them and the holes that they go through. the latest issue for the $6.4

billion bridge in 2013, 32 high-strength rods failed and then it was roadway leaks that were discovered in the rain. why these rods, but cal trans is looking at a number of fixes, like possibly trying to recenter them in the first place but they're saying that the repairs when they get started could take until the end of the year to complete. reporting live, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> thanks a lot. let's check your forecast this morning as we give you a live look at san jose. good morning san jose. and the sunlight and the sunrise and check in with christina. good morning. >> good morning to you. what a gorgeous start to the day in san jose. we're getting the same painted sky over most of the bay area and here's the deal when it comes to that sunrise. whenever we get those clouds, that's what it takes to get the gorgeous colors. we're going to start to see the reds and the purples as we head through the next half hour.

you can see 101 coming through san jose and no problems here. this is really one of the thoroughfares once you get past tully approaching 680, 280 and really start to bog down and this main thoroughfare continues to remain free of a accidents or any stop and go spots even throw palo alto 101 there. southbound still picking up with traffic and, again, friday tloith as i mentioned really living up to its name. 880 northbound approaching the maze and southbound, again, picking up, as well. right at 92, things are stop and go there. keep that in mind. show you what the bay bridge approach looks look right now at the maze and it is stop and go all the way coming in from 80 and even as you just saw coming from 880 both directions really jam packed here. guys, back to you. >> all right, anthony. thank you. another defect on the new span of the bay bridge. this time around, it's not

bolts, it's rods. hold up the long cables arou s you as you drive through. christie, new concern this morning. those rods may not hold up in an earthquake. >> good morning to you, scott. that's exactly right. the concern is that these rods have now moved very close to sharp and steel plates that are basically below the deck there. cal trans is concerned what could happen if these rods suddenly move in a quake. that it could possibly damage the eastern span's main cable or even undermine the stability of the bridge. that according to "the chronicle" this morning. the issue came up during an inspection. the rods run through holes and now there apparently isn't just enough space left. cal trans isn't sure why these rods moved out of place, but this isn't the first issue to come up. certainly last year 32 high-strength rods failed then. it was discovered that there are

leaks when it rains. crews are looking at a number o possible fixes, including trying to center up these fasteners or even make the openings wider, but they're saying whichever one they choose, it would probably take until the end of the year to complete. reporting live, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> okay, christie, thank you. starting tomorrow sfo will shut down two of its four runways for the summer. the errant hairport has to shute runways to finish a mandated safety project. the airport is building construction zones. those are the northeast facing runways that handle most of the airport's departures. the work will cut the number of flights that could arrive during peak hours and send all southern california bound flights over san bruno and daly city. in fact, this summer those cities could see as many as 10 to 12 additional planes flying overhead during peak times in the morning and evening.

hawaiian airlines will resume nonstop service today. the airline says demand has been so strong, it's decided to reinstate the flight. right now the airline has nonstop service from san jose to maui. it will also change service in oakland next month adding a bigger plane so more passengers can catch the nonstop flight each and every day. 6:53. two south bay light rail stations were supposed to shut down today for construction, but now that work is being rescheduled. the nine-day closure will now take place in sunnyvale starting may 30th. both reamwood and vienna stations and riders should allow an extra 15 minutes to their travel time. preparing for the b.a.r.t. extension and games at levi stadium should be ready for the first preseason football game by this august. scientists, inventors, engineers across the bay area are putting the finishing touches on things they made just in time for this year's maker fair.
