good morning to you, i'm kris sanchez. laura garcia-cannon is off this morning. we begin with an update to breaking news. three missing children and their mother have been found overnight safe in richmond. the four disappeared hours after their father was found dead in their san pablo backyard. "today in the bay" stephanie chuang live in richmond. police are still trying to figure out who killed their father but the children are safe at the very least. good morning. >> that's right, the children found safe. we do know that they were found safe along with their mom here somewhere in richmond. we know also the timeline that their father was found dead yesterday morning and they went missing and then an amber alert went out with the mom suspected kidnapped. we don't know where they were since the amber alert went out last night and that is when police warned people to be on the lookout for this woman. 25-year-old alicia ortez.

that's the children's mom. she had abducted her own children. ages 2, 6 and 12 from the san pablo house where they lived with their father on the 1600 block of 16th street. just about a mile from the police station there. the father was found shot dead around 8:00. investigators have not released his name but friends tell us he was a mechanic always with his kids, not just a good dad, but also a good friend. >> sometimes going to parties and sort of like, you know, birthday parties and things like that. we are good friends. >> a black audi believed to be the victims was outside the house and inside the car you can see a pink princess backpack. as for the mom, ortez, she does not have a permanent home that she spends time in san pablo, as well as richmond. as far as the investigation goes, police have not named her nor anybody as a suspect in the

homicide. again, good news amber alert canceled and the kids found safe here in richmond. investigators not expected to give an update for another hour. when we get the latest we'll, of course, bring it to you. stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." >> thank you. five american soldiers are dead, possibly victims of friendly fire. defense and military officials tell nbc news the five were working with afghan military in the southern part of the country doing security sweeps on polling places ahead of this weekend's runoff election. that's when they were suddenly attacked by taliban forces. the americans called in an air strike for backup and according to u.s. officials, that b1 stealth bomber attack accidentally hit the u.s. forces. new this morning, security forces rushed to a popular pakistani airport to defend it against our militants who attacked for the second time in two days. right now security forces are reportedly still trying to fight off those militants, so it's too early to tell whether there are any casualties related to that

attack. this is the second attack at that karachi airport this week. the country's biggest airport. meanwhile, the number of dead from the first attack is now up to 36. just today, seven more bodies were found in a burned building at the airport. on sunday a group of militants, some described as police, attacked the airport and fought with pakistani forces for five hours. the pakistani taliban has claimed responsibility for both attacks saying they were revenge for a u.s. drone strike. san mateo county sheriff deputies spent much of the night working on a homicide in redwood city. this happened near the intersection of middlefield and fourth last night. investigators are not releasing very much information at this hour but we know there is a suspect in custody. we have not been told anything about the victim or whether investigators know what led to that homicide. we expect more information from investigators later this morning. we'll bring it to you as we get

it and you can find it at nbcbayarea.com. investigators looking into the cause of an overnight fire in the foothills of santa clara county. happened just before 10:30 last night. it burned about two acres before crews managed to get it under control. one person was treated by paramedics at the scene after having a tough time breathing because of the smoke, but no one else was hurt. this fire did start near a homeless encampment but investigators are not saying if it had a role in the fire. well, b.a.r.t. is back and rolling this morning after a train started smoking here at the west oakland station last night. pictures posted on twitter by passengers who were there at the time. b.a.r.t. says the train did not catch fire and that the smoke likely stemmed from an engine problem. no one was hurt and all the trains were back in service shortly therefore. and as far as whether they are on time this morning, we'll check with mike inouye in just a

bit, but first a forecast as we look at san jose with a little bit of haze hanging over the city. meteorologist christina loren after the heat that we enjoyed yesterday, glad to see a little bit of that haze. >> really, really welcome sight. yesterday was hot. our animal across the bay area, all the raccoons and deer they like to stay nice and cool. even they were sheltered yesterday. i was out at a golf tournament and they did not come out. even once the sun went down temperatures stayed mild and typically you'll see deer come out around evening hours and we didn't see that yesterday. so, all of our animals and your animals at home, the domesticated ones and you'll be happy to welcome in this cooler weather and blanket of fog moving in over san francisco it's one of those awesome mornings where if you live in one of the high rises, you're looking down over that blanket of fog. at this time tomorrow morning, so much fog out there which is great news, our natural ac, you're not going to be able to see the tippy top of the

transamerica pyramid and if you don't believe me, mark my words. we can meet back here tomorrow morning and we can find out. 90 in the east bay and we love monitoring your weather day-to-day and same thing when it comes to your traffic. some trends and let's bring in mike inouey. >> we'll take it, christina. the commute starting to build and we see a different pattern as we approach the end of the school year and colleges off to their work summer for most of the folks. looking over here towards 101 and smoother than we saw ten minutes ago. look at the map. the arrow shows you a lot of compression and slowing. that's the first burst. the second one kick in in a half hour. and the rest of your freeway still moving very smoothly and that build, again, will start again in half an hour. west 580 showing the lighter commute. this is tuesday, remember. call it traffic tuesday with the heavier volume and no big issues in towards livermore and dublin

in the upper 50s until you get right there towards that 680 interchange and a smoother drive to the castro valley and slowing off of 580 to 238 and across the san mateo bridge, that's you commute direction with the arrow and no problems heading over to the peninsula. 101 and 280 alike into and out of san francisco. north bay commutes and smooth drive on the roadways and coming across the carquinez and benicia bridges and 101 through novato and towards san rafael. we did have 46 trains reported on time and you talked about the earlier issues with the smoke and now 46 trains on service and muni that small delay because of a little reroute just off of market and a quick look at the north bay because we have light volume here. and typically see a bigger volume. summertime traffic kicking in and you have summertime changes. >> as christina loren says, little animal. >> we know what she's talking about. >> the scariest ones of all. thank you very much, mike.

social media giant is expanding its footprint. bob redell is live where facebook gobbling up a lot more land. what does this mean, does this double the campus? >> they're close to doubling their land oholdings here in menlo park. facebook has agreed to buy a ten-building site that is currently owned by connectivity. a large piece of property. covers 59 acres and on 300 constitution drive if you're not familiar, right off highway 84 kiddy corner from facebook's main campus. in a statement to "mercury news" they confirmed the purchase, not for how much or what they planned to do at this new property. an investment in their future with no immediate plans for development. incidentally, this 59-acre parcel is next door to where facebook is building its so-called west campus. an additional office space that will be able to accommodate several hundred more employees.

this demonstrates how committed facebook is to growing its company here on the peninsula. you might recall three years ago when it moved into its headquarters on the location on the bay front the company employed about 2,000 people and now close to 7,000, 4,000 of whom are located at headquarters. when you take into consideration how much room they still have at headquarters and the space they'll have when the west campus is completed next spring social media giant facebook will have enough room for almost 5,000 more employees. reporting live here in menlo park, bob redell. >> we know they're paying for a police officer. they're funding the salary of one police officer, as well. thanks, bob. >> you're welcome. >> didn't mean to interrupt. 6:10 now. still ahead on "today in the bay" do americans support the prisoner swap that was meant to bring home sergeant bowe bergdahl. the results of a new poll out

here are your top stories for today. three children said to be abducted from san pablo were found safe overnight with their mother in richmond. alicia ortez took her children from their father's home

yesterday. the question is why was he found dead and who shot him in his own backyard? police are not naming ortez as a suspect in his death. a young child and a woman in her 20s recovering this morning after they were shot in oakland. police not releasing the child's age or the circumstances surrounding the shooting, but they say they think they know who pulled the trigger. both the child and the woman should be okay. president obama will take part in a live q and a on tumblr on the importance of making college affordable for all students. the event is the first of its kind for the president. crew members in charge of the south korean ferry disaster will be tried on charges of abandoning their passengers. four of the crew members, including the captain, have also been charged with homicide. they were all in court today. the ferry sank two months ago killing nearly 300 people. most of the passengers onboard who died were high school students on a school trip. a senate committee will hold

a closed door hearing on capitol hill today to discuss the controversial prison exchange for army sergeant bowe bergdahl. a new poll released shows the exchange of four taliban detainees was the wrong thing to do. it's close, 30% say it was the right thing to do. lawmakers say at a briefing yesterday did little to ease their concerns. >> i'm concerned with the administration telling 80 or 90 people within the administration and not one member of congress. >> tomorrow defense secretary chuck hagel is expected to testify. meantime, sergeant bergdahl is recovering at a medical facility in germany. no word on when he will return home to idaho. congress is taking another look add proposed safety rules for truck drivers. this comes after this weekend's wreck that injured comedian

tracy morgan and killed one of his friends. despite the crash, lawmakers are getting ready to pass new rules to allow drivers to put in as many as 82 hours behind the wheel every week. the current limit is either 60 or 70, depending on the kind of company. the driver of the big rig that slammed into morgan's limo over the weekend said he had not slept in more than 24 hours. protesters say they plan to be at the general motors annual shareholders meeting today and they say they're going to make their presence felt. the protesters say they want shareholders to hold gm executives accountable for the 13 deaths related to faulty ignition switches that some say were recalled far too late. just last week, gm announced 15 employees were fired following their internal investigation. a berkeley seismologist and a b.a.r.t. director will testify at a hearing on earthquake early warning systems in washington, d.c., this morning. no word yet on exactly what they're going to say, however,

the subcommittee will closely examine the technology that is used for the early earthquake warning system. it will quickly detect earthquakes right before they happen, in theory, giving people just a little bit of time to protect themselves. and now it is time to check our forecast, but, first, we want to look live at san francisco this morning. the boats in the harbor near at&t park might be a good day out on the water. also a good day for golf, but it was a little warm yesterday. christina loren was out yesterday doing double duty bringing us the forecast and then hitting the links. christina, the catholic charities annual golf tournament at cinnibar sporting matching shoes. >> of course. i think we're getting close to breakfast time. >> you know what, kris sanchez, you have little ones at home. are they out of school just yet?

>> 5 and 7 and they're already saying they're bored. >> too hot for them to play outside. probably was yesterday. today you can probably get them outdoors. the earlier the better because it is still going to be warm out there. make sure you have that sunscreen ready to go, but i know a lot of moms have been asking, when can i get my kids outside when it's not too hot and when the air quality is better. i have the answer for you. that will be as of tomorrow. today is going to be much better, just depends on where you live. we're going to see the worst air quality in the cities that are the furtherest inland. out in the tri-valley, where it is also the hottest. keep that in mind. but overall our trend is changing and that is going tine the right direction if you're looking for cooler weather. this is what we're looking at right now. the low clouds spanning further inland than at this time yesterday morning. now, i can tell you as we get throughout the afternoon, we'll lose a lot of this. we'll lose a lot of it by 9:00 a.m. this will keep us cooler than yesterday and as the westerly flow increases as we head throughout the second half of the day the cool, ocean air will

be transported all the way inland and this evening will be comfortable. you can open up the windows in your home and give that ac a break. 81 degrees in the peninsula and the time to open up the windows right around 6:30 to 7:00. 69 degrees in san francisco and your last day of unseasonably warm conditions there. 78 for the east shore and 84 degrees in the north bay today. a lot of sunshine coming your way for the second half of the day. look at this, we're in the 70s. room temperature readings by thurz and then boost those numbers up just a touch as we get into your father's day weekend. we will not see extremes. only to about 87 degrees in the tri-valley as we get more spring sizzle on monday. dad's day, speaking of which, here's mike inouye. >> all right, thank you. kids, you heard auntie christina, father's day. >> barely make out the colors, they are compressing. we lose them in the low cloud

cover because between the camera and the roadway we have these low clouds, but not affecting visibility for the drivers. they are just backed up because of this jam which suddenly hit westbound 80 approaching that berkeley curve. look at the map we're talking about. east shore freeway where we're seeing more slowing and the sensors will adjust and that is berkeley down towards the bay bridge and now coming off of 24 and 880. moving pretty smoothly and you do have that compression, as well. rest of your bay looks smooth and once you're south of novato and your typical slowing into concord and bay point area. look at 680, though, just north of that dublin interchange. two stalls reported. and one in the fast lane and one in the fast lane in acosta and got them reversed and there will be two issues as you're traveling north over towards danville but speed sensors show you through the construction area that is still slow there. west 580 a typical pattern as far as the slowing.

a lighter volume and now a stalled big rig just reported right around through sunol, seeing a lot of slowing so they could move that big rig. waiting for an update as chp arrives and hopefully clear that soon and we see the big slow down just in the last few minutes. let me look at the area crossing the bay on highway 92 looking at an easy drive across the peninsula, no delays. by contrast the south bay shows a good volume starting to increase here northbound 101 just north of the 680, 280 interchange. from 680 all the way up past the airport now where we're starting to compress that morning commute and this one will stick around for the morning commute, kris, back to you. time now 6:21. still ahead on "today in the bay" a racially charged prank wind up on the pages of a local yearbook. plus, permission to show pride. we'll show you why a local mayor has to go through hoops to get

the rainbow flag raised over city hall. team usa arrives in brazil but the coach is in the states. we'll tell you why, next.

the u.s. men's soccer team is waking up in brazil. this morning the team arrived yesterday and got straight to work on the field. this picture tweeted out by u.s. soccer. it is the men's first training session in brazil. that session, though, took place without a key member of their

squad. their head coach stayed in florida for an extra day to scope out america's first oppone opponent, ghana. they knocked the u.s. out of the last two cups and he wanted to check it out. turns out ghana dominated the game winning 4-0. and now he is expected to join his team with that intel today. the location for the next america's cup sailing race has not been announced, but looks like san francisco will not be in the running. the ceo of oracle team usa said he eliminated one of the four areas fighting to host the 2017 regatta. why he does not say who is out of the running, san francisco's proposal was the least appealing of the four. that leaves san diego, chicago and bermuda still in the running. mountain view mayor will ask the city council to allow the pride flalg to fly over the city

over lgbt month. he tells "mountain view voice" that since there is no pride parade in mountain view, a small way to show the city's tolerance and diversity. currently there is no city policy for flying unofficial city flags. clark wants a one-time approval for the pride flag. administrators at one south bay high school are trying to figure out what to do about a racist remark that somehow made it into all of the yearbooks. according to "mercury news" the yearbooks were distributed at monta vista high school in cupertino before it was discovered that one photo caption. the last three letters of the person's name were intentionally changed. county prosecutors say it will be hard to issue hate crime charges because there was no violent act, the student was not threatened and no property was vandalized. the time is now 6:26. still ahead, an update to breaking news. five u.s. soldiers killed and friendly fire may be to blame.

plus, an amber alert called off overnight after three missing kids are found safe and now their mother is facing some tough questions about the death of their father. plus, a $2,000 ultimatum. the utility scam that caught a local restaurant off guard and what you should know about it, coming up next. looking live at the bay bridge toll plaza. the morning slow down just beginning and the fog there in the distance keeping things cool. we'll check with weather and traffic in just a bit.

"today in the bay" stephanie chuang will have a live update on this story coming up in 15

minutes. more breaking news this morning where five american soldiers were killed. friendly fire may be to blame. "today in the bay" danielle joins us live in washington, d.c., and appears the taliban is responsible, once again. >> yeah, kris. that's what it's sounding like. military officials tell us five military troops were killed in this friendly fire incident. one afghan soldier was also killed and that would make this incident one of the worst involving u.s. troops since the war began in afghanistan 14 years ago. what military officials are saying happened is that afghan and nato troops were heading home from a joint exercise. they had had been checking polling places ahead of the upcoming election. that's when they came under attack by the taliban. the soldiers called for air support. when that air support arrived, military officials say that the support bomber accidentally killed these soldiers. that brings the total number of u.s. troops killed in afghanistan this year to 36.

you know, kris, a good reminder even as we think of this war dying down, that there are still a lot of american soldiers, thousands of them, in fact, in harm's way in afghanistan. they are all expected to leave by the end of the year. live in washington, i'm danielle leigh, kris, back to you. time to check your forecast as we look live at downtown san jose and say what a nice way to start this tuesday morning and cooler temperatures, too. nice way to end the day, too. >> i know. we're already thinking about the end of the day. oh, my goodness. good morning to you. the good news is as you make your way home from work, the drive home may not be as frustrating for you because temperatures will be quite a bit cooler, especially if you live or work near the coast or around the bay. temperatures right now mostly in the 60s. what a beautiful day and i love being able to show you all the various microclimates across the bay area, especially as we're getting the early daylight hours and you can see that fog has returned to san francisco.

this is from san bruno and you can see the fingers of fog moving in over the bay. so, that's the difference between yesterday and today. we did have the low clouds at the immediate coast and just cling the coastline all day long yesterday. as we head throughout the day today, we are going to see the clouds continue to spread inland. all the way through about 10:00 a.m. and then that fog will burn off and we'll see a nice westerly flow carrying in the ocean air. 5 to 15 degrees cooler today and just depends on where you live. the most significant cooling in your inland valley spots. foggy at the coast by this evening and we're talking about enough fog to drop your temperatures even more so by tomorrow. pretty large incremental drop, as well. drop an additional five to ten degrees between today and tomorrow. 81 for the peninsula and san francisco, that's 69 degrees. if you're waking up with us on the east shore, heat relief. 90 in the tri-valley and 84 degrees in beautiful wine country. i've got your forecast for father's day, you might be thinking about wine country this

weekend. that's coming up. right now here's mike and your drive. >> i am thinking about wine country. with an h. not same family, but we'll sort that out later. looking over here towards the east shore freeway and the emeryville camera where we can finally see the bay bridge. we couldn't see this all morning long. those clouds are lifting enough for us to see this span. an unusual pattern as we look at the map and slow down through berkeley and approaching the berkeley curve. once you pass the area, the toll plaza itself moving a little better. again, no reason for that as far as incidents. a lighter volume around the rest of your bay shows up a pretty nice flow of traffic, definitely on the peninsula side. that's your left side and over on the east bay, slowing 880 through hayward and in towards fremont. lighter flow of traffic except here. the earlier stall reported northbound at 680 san ramon and not presenting any slow down and a car over on the shoulder and

southbound at the sunol off ramp and trying to get the exact location from chp but sounds like a stalled big rig and even though it's not in the roadway, affecting an off ramp. a big distraction coming out of pleasanton and in towards sunol unusually slow. your cut through 84 if you can make that down through pleasanton and livermore, better route for you. from capital expressway up towards 680 no big drama there and a look at this, chris, that palo alto camera shows you a little haze and you see the haze in the air and visibility is just fine through this area and all the way up into and out of san francisco. >> we should say our kids are actually great. thanks, mike. we do have a warning this morning, for the east bay after a scam artist managed to dupe a restaurant owner out of 2,000 bucks. the owner of the lettuce restaurant in walnut creek said the scammer called posing as a

pg&e employee. playing off sunday's hot temperatures the caller threatened to shut off the power at the restaurant unless he was wired $2,000 right away using money pack cards. now, the owner said the man on the other line sounded very official and even had onhold music. pg&e said they'll never ask anyone to use a third party or not ask you to pay cash for a bill and that they would never call you on a sunday. so, that's your take away. it is now 6:36. still ahead, your black and orange update all things giants. amy g. joins us from the dugout. also looking live at the golden gate bridge there and the rest of us could expect temperatures a few degrees cooler today, as well. nbc bay area honored with three national awards for excellence in breaking news coverage, feature reporting and public service and television journalism. all from the society of professional journalists.

a large piece of property that covers 59 acres here at 300 constitutional drive, right off highway 84, kiddy corner from facebook's main headquarters. in a statement to "mercury news" facebook confirmed the purchase but not how much with no immediate plans for development. this 59-ablinger parcel is next door to where facebook is building its so-called west campus an additional office space that will be available to accommodate several hundred more employees. this latest purchase demonstrates just how committed facebook is to growing its company here on the peninsula. you might recall three years ago when it moved into its current headquarters at the old sun microsystems headquarters at bay front expressway. the company only employed around 2,000 people and now close to 7,000. 4,000 of whom work here at headquarters. when you take into consideration how much room they still have at headquarters and the space they'll have once the west campus is completed next spring,
