we begin with continuing coverage of the napa south napa earthquake. about an hour ago, a small quake shook the area near american canyon as you'll recall, the epicenter of the original 6.0. the u.s. geological survey reporting a 3.0 quake hit two miles just before 4:00 this morning. so far, no reports of any damage, but you can bet there are certainly some shaken nerves. meanwhile, the usgs will be holding a meeting this morning to look at what scientists have learned from last months's 6.0 quake. the group will be examining how the faults moved and how that impacted movement on the ground. it'll also scrutinize the dozens of aftershocks that follow the big quake and how well damage is being assessed. meantime, there are still victims in need of your help. volunteer organizations will be at a vallejo city hall providing people with more information on how to get assistance. in napa, resource center has been established to help victims there. and this morning, a forum on the earthquake's early warning system will continue at uc

berkeley, it began yesterday. scientists and lawmakers have come together trying to figure out where to get the $80 million needed to put an earthquake early warning system into place here in california. that forum runs through tomorrow. now to a developing story, 12 people were killed, 80 injured when the taliban attacked a government compound in afghanistan overnight. the attackers reportedly set off two massive truck bombs, and about a dozen gunman attacked people running from the blast. this happened south of kabul. one of the those bombs kimd eight off-duty police officers who were asleep in is their housing unit. all 13 of the attackers were killed. the taliban claimed responsibility almost immediately by sending a text message to local media. berkeley police could soon be armed with tasers. why the city council explores the idea, there's a coalition of people against them and they're holding a public forum. stephanie chuang joins us live from berkeley, and steph, the coalition says officers already have enough weapons as it is

though, police say there are valuable tools. >> absolutely, good morning to you, kris. >> reporter: it is made up of people like the vice president of the berkeley naacp. an attorney, former public defender, and they say that tasers are not an alternative for the use of lethal force. they also site a study that shows 547 taser related deaths from 2001 to february of this year adding that a 2012 study by the american heart association showed taser shocks, especially those to the chest are capable of killing a person, but the city of berkeley is looking for people to take on studying the pros and the cons of taser use. they are due tuesday, that's why there's the timing now. some of the considerations are changes in taser technology. how tasers can help to avoid gyres to citizens and officers and a comparison between berkeley and other cities in terms of lethal force.

every law enforcement agency in the inner bay area except for alameda, san francisco, and berkeley allows sworn police officers to carry tasers. the berkeley police department surveyed nearly 600 residents back in april of 2013 and found 83% wanted the city to at least continue investigating the use of tasers to quote control violent individuals. the forum starts at 7:00 at the berkeley media center. the coalition invited the police as well as city leaders to join, not sure if they will show up. berkeley police saying there was something that happened this year that show why is they need to use tasers. we'll have more in a half hour. live in berkeley, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much, steph. federal investigators are planning to launch a civil rights investigation into the entire ferguson, missouri, police department. this will cover last month's police response to protesters and the use of force by ferguson officers in other recent cases. last month, authorities cracked down on protesters angered by the deadly police shooting of an

unarmed teenager. ferguson police officers have been the sibt of numerous lawsuits over the years revenue excessive force. in the past five years alone, federal investigators have launched over a dozen police department probes. that is more than double what had been in the previous five years. meantime locally, san jose city leaders reached a compromise for advocates for the people living in the largest encampment. bob redell joins us live from what we call here the jungle. and bob, it is a temporary thing, what's going on? >> reporter: good morning to you there, sam. this temporary compromise has to do with access to the dirt parking lot that's located right next door to the jungle which happens to be one of the nation's largest homeless encampments. you can see that the large bolders were delivered here yesterday. within the next week, the city of san jose wants to install these along with the gates to keep vehicles out of the slot. the city says its main goal is to prevent illegal dumping here. the people who live in the judge really upset because they

believe that by closing the parking lot, they'll be cut off from aid, churches and other groups who come here to feed, clothe, and care for them. >> well they are going to put the boulders up to stop the churches, trying to starve us out, that's what they're doing. >> it sends the wrong message, the people on the street think they're going to separate churches like ours that are a lifeline from the people. >> reporter: after a meeting last night between the city and homeless advocates, the city said yes, we're going to install the boulders next week and the gate, but they agreed to leave it unlocked after its installed to allow access for these aid groups. again, this is a temporary agreement, temporary compromise. the city said in the past it would like to lock that gate and give keys to legitimate aid groups who coordinate with the city. there's going to be another meeting next week to discuss the pofblt installing more porter potties. ultimately the city indicated it would like to find a permanent

solution. we'll talk about that within the next half hour. reporting live near san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> homelessness definitely a tough problem here in san jose, thank you very much. pg&e plans to appeal the land marks #$.4 billion fine its been ordered to pay for the pipeline explosion. that explosion killed agtd people and -- eighted people and steroid several homes. state and federal investigators found that pg&e was at fault for inadequate maintenance and recordkeeping. a spokesman says the utility is spending nearly $3 billion on pipeline safety and wants that to be taken into consideration. it is 5:07 right now on your thursday morning. we're going to get a sneak peek of what your weekend season going to look like. -- is going to look like. >> the good news is, ever since we had the last 3.0, we have had no significant aftershocks above 2.0. we're going to keep track all
