i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> and i'm sam brock. >> a fire started around 1:00 this morning near townsend avenue and today in the bay's christie smith is live in hayward. i understand that you just spoke with a neighbor? >> reporter: yes, the elderly woman who died has lived here for decades but in the last ten years she used a wheelchair to get around the home and they hadn't seen her much. the neighbor was really, really worried when she saw that this was the house on fire overnight. she came outside and saw that the street here, townsend avenue, was completely blocked by fire trucks. firefighters tell us when they arrived at 1:00 this morning, smokes and flames poured from the front doors and windows so they had to knock that down first. a couple that lived with the woman said that the wife's aunt

was trapped inside. they had all been sleeping when the fire broke out. firefighters carried the woman out who was in her wheelchair but it was too late. she did not survive. one neighbor watched the towering flames and feared this outcome. >> i walked down here and looked at the officer and asked if everyone got out and he said, no unfortunately, not. >> reporter: now, the husband suffered chest pains and was taken to the hospital as a precaution. the wife was unharmed. a few of the family pets, a birds and a cat also died. the family also has chickens in the yard. what they are telling us is that they did have a chance to look around inside. they haven't confirmed what the cause is but they are leaning towards electrical. they say that a number of cords, too many, perhaps, were plugged

into one outlet. so that was their focus this morning. the red cross was out here helping the couple but we're told that they likely will be staying with family members. reporting live in hayward, christie smith, today in the bay. >> thank you, christie. honor and sacrifice. this morning we pay tribute to soldiers who lost their lives on d-day. the men who stormed the beaches of normandy 70 years ago paved the way for the liberation of europe. a live look right now at the stretch of the shore which was code named sword beach during world war ii. president obama is there along with the leaders of france, great britain, and russia. this include as fly-over and a 21-gun salute. >> president obama attended a ceremony in the american cemetery of normandy.

900 veterans who survived d-day were in attendance at today's ceremony. president obama paid special tribute to them during his speech. >> i am honored to return here today to pay tribute to the men and women who have defied every danger. among them are veterans of d-day. gentlemen, we are truly humbled by your presence here today. >> so true. well, moments ago, russian president vladimir putin attended the same lun chon cheo. you can see president obama on the left there and putin own the right. this is the first time the two have crossed paths since the violence in ukraine escalated. and queen elizabeth was present and was a teenager during the war and served as a mechanic and a drive. >> pretty amazing, laura. there are only 1 million surviving word war 2 vets.

550 people die each day according to the world museum. we have more information at nbcbayarea.com. we'll bring you live coverage throughout the newscast. we're learning more details about the suspect investigators say opened fire at a seattle university yesterday killing one student and injuring several others. peggy bunker is joining us with more on the story. students jumped in to stop that gunman? >> they did, laura. it could have been a lot worse. seattle pacific university is a small, private christian university with a little over 4,000 students that attend there. they are grieving for the student who was killed and praying for the three others that were injured. a gunman around 3:20 yesterday afternoon, identified as aaron ybarra, walked into the math and engineering building and started

shooting. he was well-armed and one professor heard the shot from his classroom. >> i heard a shot. i was outside my window and saw a man laying on the ground and there was a gun over him. >> the professor witnessed what happened next, one of his own engineering students pepper spraying yc spraying ybarra getting him to the ground and then sitting on him. >> i called 911 and there was another shot inside the building and looked down from my office and saw one of my students sitting on top of somebody in a big pile of shell casings. >> pretty remarkable there. students spent the day comforting each other after the shooting thinking of the selfless acts by those that they are calling heroes. police say their actions probably prevented more deaths.

they stopped ybarra as he was pausing to reload his rifle. as you can see, it could have been a lot worse. two are still being treated at the hospital. one is in critical condition, the other listed in stable. back to you. >> thanks so much, peggy. san jose police still looking for a suspects in the city's 18th homicide of the year. this is an update to what we brought you yesterday. investigators found a body at piercy road. they say the victim was stabbed. splits have not released the motive or the identity. fremont police hope a picture snapped from a surveillance video will help them find out who broke into this home. he used a board to knock the camera off of position. the camera still got a close snapshot of the guy. officers say after the camera stopped rolling, he kicked in the door and went into the home with the alarm going off. he apparently got a little

scared because he took off shortly after answentering that home. 6:07 right now on your friday morning, we're going to take a live picture of the golden gate bridge with its signature fog covering most of the beautiful aesthetics of that bridge. and it's christina loren. >> i was talking about christina loren and the bridge. >> i hope so, sam. i hope so. temperatures right now are mostly in the 50s to start. it's cloudy at the coast. meanwhile, we are nice and clear inland. and yeah, if you didn't catch that, sam brock, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the morning team. we share our eyes. happy to have him here with us. now, let me tell you what is happening across the bay area now via your microclimate forecast. we have low clouds out there but really not impacting your inland valleys to start the day. we start with the natural coolants and temperatures soar

everywhere. we are heading out for today. a thin layer of coastal fog and then the warming kicks in right around 10:00 a.m. sunset is at 8:25. it doesn't even get dark until 8:30 and beyond. it depends on where you live in the bay area. 92 for the east bay. 71 in san francisco. we take you to the weekend forecast coming up. we send it over to mike and we don't want any problems on a friday morning? >> no, we don't want problems any morning. at least you're not going to be surprised by this. the metering lights on this friday. we've seen this with lighter volume around the bay. the friday shows this coming off of the maze. the east shore freeway is lighter than typical days but traffic is starting to build midday towards san francisco. northbound 101, it's not a crash

but it's a potential for a crash. a lot of cardboard box is reported in your lanes right around hillsdale. you may have to have a traffic break if they have to clear those. otherwise, cars will hit them and then clear themselves. be careful. a smoother drive. northbound 101 show as build north of 680. we have a live camera there. northbound is looking very smooth. a light volume of traffic where you saw it already. a blip of yellow. lighter volume here. we'll show the second one there at 6:30 for the build. dublin pass getting out of town may be more popular heading towards the central valley as we often see on the weekends so it's starting to slow down through the atlamont pass. >> knock on formica. >> we'll take your word for it.

it's 6:10. still ahead, born to run. we'll take a look at the california horse that could be making headlines as a potential triple crown winner. and a couple inside this car was hit by lightning and escaped. and a live picture right now. this is a pretty neat little window into what is going on in normandy, france, where they are commemorating the 70th anniversary of d-day. that, of course, is french prime minister francois hollande.

welcome back. happy friday to you. we want to help you beat the heat this weekend. something that is happening in alameda, the saculpture contest. free events and good ones coming up in your forecast. >> and we're looking towards the san mateo bridge. where are folks heading? to a great weekend. more accurately, the peninsula. we'll show you how this commute is shaping up. that's coming up. also, a look at today's top stories for you today at 6:14, president obama is in normandy this morning taking part in a somber ceremony to honor the men who lost their lives on the beaches 70 years ago. just a few hours ago, he spoke at an american cemetery where close to 10,000 soldiers are buried. tomorrow, the family of maya

golden state but has never trained here at golden fields. his trainer art sherman was the second leader trainer at golden gate fields. sherman moved to southern california in '08 but his son continues to operate a racing stable here. the man who will ride california chrome at the belmont stakes, jockey victor espinoza has put california chrome in triple crown contention. tomorrow, saturday, he'll get a second chance. >> i'm very confident right now. after i work him, i got a little more confident. so i think he's going to run

big. >> every place i go, he's on the front page of the papers, on television shows all over the country. i mean, i have never seen a horse get this kind of publicity in a long time. >> if california chrome wins the belmont tomorrow, he'll become the first triple crown winner in over 30 years and the first horse from california to accomplish that. tomorrow here at the golden gate fields they are going to be hosting what they call the bay area's biggest belmont stakes party. they have a wine fest. it's going to be quite a time here in albany. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay". >> watch the belmont stakes here at 1:30 in the afternoon. we know that the giants will be bringing their own heat and what do we have in store for the

lovely weather patterns around here? >> you can watch the heat being brought by the giants in the comfort of your air conditioned home. hopefully you're feeling it like we are. kind of a hard week. it's 55 in livermore and as we head through this week, we have temperatures that weren't all that warm until now, today. yesterday as well. temperatures have been pretty much on the warm side. but we're not going to see them budge. not that much, just yet. that doesn't occur until we get into this weekend. high pressure really takes control of the weather pattern. the very hot air settles in and as a result it's going to be very warm all the way potentially through father's day weekend. it does look like it's going to cool off as we head through the week after that. substantially. maybe getting a cooling trend that sticks with us throughout

the month of june. i'm always looking 15 to 20 days out. i want to know what is coming our way. this is not the most impressive heatwave we've had this year. definitely not going to reach beyond 105 degrees but as we head throughout sunday, that's the peak of it. you're going to get great beach days throughout saturday and sunday in santa cruz. it's on the warm side. saturday, 82 degrees. you're going to head to the giant home stretch. we'll take you to the forecast. if you're heading outdoors, let's go to mike. what you can get to on our website, nbcbayarea.com/skycam, check it out on our website. a smooth drive southbound. a little build here. this is friday. a later build around the bay. no problems into novato. over towards the golden gate bridge area, there's a smooth flow as well and towards the bay bridge toll plaza and no delays

through the emeryville area. our camera shows us a backup in all lanes but also shows us how quickly they are moving. the truck almost cleared our screen. no problems here. we're looking towards the rest of the bay and the smooth drive around it. pretty good pattern for this friday. we'll look at slower spots developing for the south bay. over here in hayward, way tonight call this out. christie smith has been at a deadly house fire. we mentioned 92 and 880. this does not affect your approaching. these are clear over here and a smooth drive for the freeways. just your typical bridge heading towards the san mateo bridge. a nice drive westbound and it's 45 miles per hour. that's good for the tri-valley. back to you. take a look at this, mike. a lightning strike caught on camera in canada. surveillance cameras were rolling when a couple's truck was struck. alan and betty perry said it

sounded like a sonic boom. fire engulfed the pickup. inside the air bags went off and the two scrambled for their life as smoke began to fill the cab. a nearby police officer helped get the couple out safely. >> i think you kind of hope that you pass out and don't have to actually experience what that must be like to see lightning going into your car. >> it's amazing to see the video afterwards. >> it's better after the fact. not so much during. it's 6:21 in the bay. still ahead, satisfy your craving before the door is closed. what are we talking about? which sweet spot is about to hand out their last donuts.

welcome back, everyone. taking a live look outside at san francisco this morning, kind of shrouded in typical bay area for june gloom. things are going to warm up around here. >> in san jose, they already have, if you're going to base it off of that shot right there, you know what, laura, friday's are generally happy times. they are happy times. >> it's actually today if you get yourself a donut. >> happening today, head over to palo alto. a store popular with locals and college students is closing its

doors. go to happy donuts. the donut shop became a popular hangout because it was one of the only places opened 24 hours a day, seven days a week. the shop's owner says the store lost its contract and they are hoping to return eventually. until then, there's a new location in san jose. i shouldn't have eaten that donut right before i read that story. >> so should people because we hope that the happy donut store comes back. san francisco will be marking the anniversary of "beach blanket babylon." steve silver started it with street performers. silver died in 1995 and his widow now runs the show. "beach blanket babylon" will be

honored by mayor ed lee. now, this is what ebay looked like just a few hours ago for the highest bid to have lunch with warren buffett. it's topping $1 million. the auction benefits san francisco's glide foundation. it's the biggest fund-raiser of the year for the nonprofit. so many people try to take advantage of the time to sit down with this billionaire, you know, investor to try to get his take on things, maybe present something to him. >> i have a presentation for warren buffett. do me one favor, if i'm going to spend $1 million to have lunch with you, bring donuts because it makes everything better. >> there you go. it's 6:26 right now. still remembering the fallen right now as the world comes together to mark 70 years since d-day. here's a live look at the remembrance ceremony that is under way right now in normandy. quite amazing to see all of the

dignitaries that are there, including queen elizabeth, ii, and president obama taking part in the ceremony to honor those who lost their lives on the beaches 70 years ago. just a few hours ago, the president actually spoke at the ceremony there and there is the president live. it all happened where close to 10,000 american soldiers are buried. we'll be right back.

live pictures of the ceremony getting set up. d-day is very important historically but also just as important in the political landscape today. tracie potts is joining us. we just learned that president obama and vladimir putin did talk face-to-face for about 15 minutes? >> they did. no word whether they spoke about ukraine. it's certainly a possibility. we're seeing some of the leaders arrive now for the international ceremony. this comes after a luncheon and we saw president obama and putin together, if not talking but together for the first time since the intervention in crimea in ukraine. the president and putin were sitting four seats apart at that lun luncheon and now we're

learning that they had a conversation on the sidelines. this commemorates the americans who served and who were killed on d-day 70 years ago. some of those veterans, by the way, were there. the president sat with them before the ceremony, spent some time with them and talked with some of them afterwards. two things that we're watching here, of course, the commemoration of that historic day 70 years ago and also waiting to get more detail on what this conversation between president obama and president putin may have involved. >> we'll continue to follow this. thank you, tracie. research d-day. we'll bring you live coverage throughout the newscast. and 16 million people, americans, served in world war ii. only 1 million are alive today. we'll start with the live

picture of downtown san jose and city hall as the sun starts to peak out. hopefully we'll be seeing more of it. let's check the forecast with meteorologist christina loren. >> be careful what you wish for. >> that's right. temperatures are mainly in the 50s. a really nice day all day long. even in san francisco. it is getting to be a little too warm, though, places like half moon bay. you hit 70 and the locals complain about the heat. 54 to start. it's the coolest point of the day. right around sunrise. let me show you, very little low cloud cover. that's going to be the hot spot today. 92 degrees is the forecasted high out there. 71 for san francisco. so look at the difference. got to love the microclimates because you get to pick and choose what kind of weather you want to enjoy here in the bay area. high pressure is the reason for the warming trend. very hot air settles in over the weekend. that's going to mean

temperatures will be much warmer inland than what we are expecting at the coast. the reason it's so much hotter inland is because we're cutting off the natural ac, the marine influence. so as the heat escalates this weekend, this is what expect. up to 92 degrees on sunday. something that is happening in the city this weekend, it's one of the largest street fairs in san francisco. it's absolutely free. it's the union street festival. two concerts are going to have two stages. live music out there and a fashion show. lots of fun but bring that sunscreen. check the drive with mike. >> we'll look out here after i check my sunscreen. we're being looki looking towars 101. look at the map. that's a lot of traffic. the map shows you the only spot with any real slowing, we see that over the week anyway. northbound 101 at lawrence

expressway, there are reports of a fender bender, no injury. expect a little slowing but we don't see it right now as you head towards 237. the indicator where the scripps are playing tonight at shoreline, look out for that area. in the east bay we have slowing as well. in the areas around the bay bridge toll plaza metering lights are on. we want to show folks the low clouds start to clear up and your view across the span has not been a problem but this being a friday we expect midday to see more traffic coming towards us, towards san francisco and the toll plaza. it starts to build for both the golden gate and bay bridge. everyone wants to come in for the city weekend shennanigans. >> it's official. >> and what about going to the beach on such a nice weekend? >> watch highway 92 towards half

moon bay. even 101, folks heading down towards monterey will get crowded there as well. >> all right. party planner. >> thanks, make. ryan chamberlain, if the name sounds familiar, that's because he was the subject of a manhunt. he's now being charged with having bomb-making materials and will be back in court for a detention hearing. fbi agents returned to his home yesterday searching for more evidence. the haz-mat crews tested more materials and removed some items from the house. a bomb squad was there just in case. officers arrested chamberlain on monday after a three-day nationwide manhunt. it's 6:36. just ahead, the closed-door meeting that could seal the deal for the a's to stay in oakland long term. plus, the arena gets too hot for the heat. some players were literally carried off of the court.

it's going to get pretty hot in the south bay. already the sun is up and shining brightly at the water tower. a lot more news ahead. stick around. it's 6:36.

coming up on 6:40 on your friday morning, a live look at at&t park this morning. the giants will be back home after defeating the reds 6-1 last night. now, right outside the park in the plaza, the giants are going to be holding their very first orange friday happy hour. the pregame party will feature live music from the tom petty & the heartbreakers cover band, not to be confused by tom petty. our coverage begins at 7:00. there's a closed-door meeting today to talk about lease negotiations for the a's. the owner said a new tentative deal could be signed within two weeks. the lease runs out after next season. >> now, laura, you could make a

strong argument that this is a bizarre start to the finals. the air conditioning stops working leading to 90 degrees courtside. 90. the spurs had to play in that sweltering heat. you can see lebron being carried off in the final minutes suffering leg cramps. the spurs go on to win 110-105. >> he couldn't take the heat. >> he could take the heat. >> hmm. >> i think this sounds like an excuse to me. but far be it for me to critique him. we'll tell you why caltrain may spike the fear to get to the stadium. and discovery inside of a

burning home in hayward. live details coming up next. we have live looks from normandy, france, where world leaders, including president barack obama has arrived. we'll continue to follow the d-day remembrance 70 years ago today.

an update now to breaking news. firefighters found an elderly woman dead in her wheelchair after flames tore through a hayward home overnight. crews are still at the home on townsend avenue near the 880/highway 92 interchange. christie, an electrical problem

we understand now may have sparked the fire? >> reporter: good morning to you. firefighters are finally getting a look inside of this home and that's one of the things they'll be looking at, whether this may have been an electrical fire. but we've also been talking with neighbors this morning and they say they are in shock. this is a very nice family. the elderly woman they didn't see as much because she was in a wheelchair but they feared the worst when they saw that it was this home on fire on townsend avenue. when hayward fire arrived, they tell us that smoke and flames were pouring from the front door and window so they had to fight that. they say the aunt was inside and they had to carry her out

physically but she did not make it. they think this started in a bedroom due to an electrical fire because quite a few appliances were plugged into one outlet. they also tell us that the family had a number of pets. two cats died and two birds died in the fire. getting the woman out, it was a challenge. >> they were able to successfully rescue one of the victims and brought her out front. unfortunately, she died from the injuries. they had to put out the fire that is that was coming from the front door before they could proceed inside the house. >> the man in this fire was taken to the hospital. he was complaining of chest pains. the woman was unharmed. it was her aunt that passed away

in this fire. red cross was here but now they are most likely going to be staying with family. reporting live, christie smith, "today in the bay". >> thank you very much, christie. it's 6:47. time to check san francisco. a hazy start to our day. always beautiful, city by the way. across the bay area we're going to have summer like temperatures, right? >> a little early. >> and you say it's going to be so warm that people are not going to want to exercise? >> well, it does happen to me so maybe it happens to you as well. i try but i do want to turn into a beach bum all weekend long and when that heat is strong in the afternoon, the last thing you probably want to do is go for that run, that jog, that bike ride. but i can tell you, we have really comfortable mornings coming your way. at least the mornings will be

cool so get out there and get the active lifestyle going if that's something that you're into. i am, but only a couple times a week. the south bay, let me show you the trend of the day. this is what we're expecting. a rapid warmup for the entire bay area. by lunchtime today, as you break for lunch, up to 80 degrees at noon here in the south bay. it's going to be hot. 86 degrees at 3:00 p.m. we're going to peak at that time and then as the sun starts to drop off, 9:00 p.m., that's barbecue weather but it's going to be difficult to sleep if you don't have an ac. as we head throughout the next couple of days, temperatures get even warmer and then we level off when we meet back here. 92 in the east bay. 87 in the north bay. a lot going on across the weekend. across the bay area, this is what you can expect if you want to hit the beach. 80s in santa cruz. even monterey, the warmest day is sunday if you want to get out there. remember, the giants are in town

reports of a large tire in the lane. the closer of king street after the game, that's traditional there and we're hoping for the win as well. peninsula side, a nice traffic flow there. 101, we start to see the build here. 85 in the last couple of minutes. 101 a little slowing around capital expressway and up again towards 680. we'll show you the traffic flow. we're starting to show more cars but no crashes through this area. this is north 101. there is 680 and 280, the overcrossing. we'll be back to talk about the bay and smooth flow of traffic. southbound and 92 on surface streets through hayward, i mention those freeways as well and christie smith is reporting this deadly fire here off of townsend. that does not affect the freeway. the investigation continues. meanwhile, the rest of your bay looks really nice with the

tri-valley with slowing through livermore and 680 is not a problem through sunol. >> thank you, mike. a somber day in europe. this marks the 70th anniversary of the d-day invasion. president obama is there to honor those who lost their lives on the beach in world war ii. president obama is meeting world leaders. you see angela merkel and vladimir putin. the ceremony includes a fly-over and a 21-gun salute. earlier world leaders gathered for lunch. the aforementioned vladimir putin was there and the two talked face-to-face for about 15 minutes. no word yet on what was discussed but that conversation marks the first time that putin and president obama have met since the crisis in ukraine began. it's 6:51. new details about the man who says walked into seattle pacific university and opened fire.

one person was killed and several others hurt. some say it could have been much worse if it weren't for the quick action of other students. peggy bunker is joining us now and one student jumped in another held him down? >> many, many acts of bravery by these spu students. seattle pacific university is a small university, about 4,000 students. a shooting is the last thing they expected to happen at their quiet university. >> i can't believe how close this is to home, you know. i never imagined it would happen at your school. >> this all began yesterday afternoon at 3:00 when a gunman a. 26-year-old man identified as aaron ybarra who is not a student at the school walked into the math and engineering building and opened fire. he had a rifle and additional rounds of ammo and a knife.

>> we had just cleared that area. we could have very well, five minutes earlier, been at that very location. that's extremely disturbing. >> police say the actions of the students at spu are being called nothing short of heroic. it was the students who pepper prayed ybarra when he was pausing to reload. >> i called 911 and heard another shot inside the building and looked down from my office and saw one of my students sitting on top of somebody on a big pile of shell casings. >> this is not a huge campus, 4200 students, they are leaning on each other and their faith to get them through. one is in critical condition,
