an evening workout ends in homicide. police have arrested a san francisco man who they say used a local gym's equipment to beat a man to death. today in the bay's stephanie chuang is outside the gym this morning. i understand this happened inside the gym while people were around. >> reporter: that's right. it's hard to imagine. dozens of people in the gym. tough to think there was such a vicious attack in this building just 30 hours ago, an attack using a solid bar used to lift weights. police arrested 46-year-old kenneth osoko yesterday. they say he got into a confrontation at the gym wednesday night and they attacked the man, striking him

in the head over and over again before taking off. the man died at the san francisco hospital. patrons of the gym say they had to find out about this on their own. >> yesterday morning, i didn't even know what happens. the trainer, the person who opens up at 5:00 acted like nothing had happened. i just learned this yesterday late afternoon from my brother. he told me he heard from other customers and people that work there. >> reporter: now this morning i did ask for a comment from management but was told that no one could talk to me until after at least 8:00 this morning. we still don't know the identity of the victim but we do know the suspect is behind bars this morning at san mateo county jail booked on the charge of murder. >> i can't believe it. those bars are kind of heavy,

about 45 pound, right? >> reporter: yeah. most people said they hadn't heard about it. the one gentleman said he had to hear about it from his brother. people are back to normal here. routine for them this morning. >> thank you very much for the latest on that case. this morning we have new details raising new questions about 49ers player ray mcdonald and his fiancee. in august he was arrested at his home on domestic violence charges. now the san jose police department has released a report about an incident at that same home back in may when someone called 911 and reported a woman at the home was holding a gun during an argument. it's believed the two people involved in that case were mcdonald and his fiancee. investigators say the woman set the gun down and let the home after the man threatened to call 911. no charges were filed in that case. >> legal analyst stephen clark

said this old report could shed new light on the case. >> if mr. mcdonald can show on past occasion he was the one who felt threatened because his fiancee picked up a gun that, could explain his conduct in august if he grabbed her. it gives credibility to a potential self-defense case. >> mcdonald has not commented on the may incident. the defensive lineman has not yet been formally charged by the d.a. and continues to play for the 49ers. team officials say they will let due process run its course before making any decision on his future in the league. it's important to note we have repeatedly asked police for the report regarding the august incident that led to mcdonald's arrest. the department said it will not release that report. >> now to developing news on the biggest fire burning in california. 12,000 homes still at risk of burning down as the king fire continues to grow. in fact, the state estimates it's now spending $5 million a

day to fight those flames. more than 73,000 acres have burned and thousands of residents in the area of pollock pines are been evacuated. investigators believe that fire was intentionally set. today the man accused of starting the fire will make his first court appearance. officers arrested wayne huntsman yesterday. they say he's a local with a criminal history. he's previously lived in aptos and santa cruz. yesterday his sister, who didn't want her face shown on camera, said she didn't believe he set the fire. >> i'm devastated, in shock. i can't believe he would ever have anything to do with something like that or do anything intentionally like that or be part of it. to me he would be on the other end trying to help people and put it out and do what we could to be of assistance. >> the highway has shut down part of highway 50. crews battling another destructive wildfire during the

oregon border continue to make progress. that fire destroyed more than 150 homes in the town of weed. evacuation orders are still in effect but the fire is now 85% contained. >> a few san jose employees have been buying expense of tablets, renting bmws and picking up tabs for hundreds of dollars for fine wines. just one issue, they did it with your money. in one case, an employee who totalled his car used his city credit card to rent a new bmw for more than two weeks. another treated city staff to dinner at a downtown restaurant spending more than $700.

>> a health warning for parents. the same virus that has sent hundreds of children to emergency rooms in the midwest is now reaching california. cases have been reported in southern california. concern over the virus has led to crowded waiting rooms across the state. of the four cases here, three are in san diego county, one in ventura county, all of them children. the virus, which has actually been around for decades spreads like common colts. doctors say children with asthma are more susceptible to the virus. >> if they're wheezing, in distress or using the muscles in their rib cage to breathe, you should take them to the

hospital. >> health officials say the best way to avoid the virus is to wash your hands over and frequently wipe down heavily used surfaces like tables and door knobs. it is 6:07 right now. time to check the microcast forecast. i want to check in with meteorologist christina loren. >> we accumulated some much-needed rainfall to the tune of 3/4 of an inch in the santa cruz mountains yesterday. we needed that rain and there is more in your forecast, my friends. we're actually tracking a series of storms that could impact the bay area as we head throughout the next couple weeks. that's looking really promising. we need that rain and overall this is what we were hoping to see as we kick off the new season. fall arrives officially next tuesday. 61 degrees in san carlos, good

morning san jose, 64 in sant martin and happy friday by the way. in concord, this is what we're working with for today. a lot of moisture out there white now but we'll see a strong onshore flow pick up as we head throughout the day. what that means is all of those westerly clouds will start to move onshore, the fog we're so accustomed to. i also want to show you what's happening in the area of pollock pines right now because they have some really great humidity recoveries overnight and the wind right now is not that bad. they're under 10 miles per hour. openfully firefighters are able to gain some ground on that fire, which we should be getting an update for you for in just about half hour, maybe 45 minutes. sunrise, 6:56 this morning. your days are getting shorter. we got great air quality out there, plenty of sunshine today.

on the city side that has cleared as you get off interstate 80 and get on to 101. it's a smooth drive for san francisco, a pretty typical friday commute now. no delays for the bay shore freeway. fremont moves nicely as well. 880 coming toward us in the south bay. we just had the second burst is starting to kick in around 680 that happens about now and over the next 20 minutes we'll see more traffic. >> it's 6:11 right now, still ahead on "today in the bay," the new law protecting drought ar s areas. >> and i'm bob redell. the wait for apple fans is just

>> announcer: you're watching "today in the bay." >> welcome back now. fog so thick you can't see anything from our san francisco cam. it's like pea soup out there this morning, but those clouds are going to clear by mid-morning before we hit 11:00. and we're slated for a gorgeous day. then we're going to bring up that heat for your weekend and showers return to the forecast by mid week. we've got a lot to go over in

looking for the iphone plus, this is without the usage plan. other phones have this size phone but we don't have the enthusiasm that you have here. what time did you get here? >> 5:00 yesterday. >> reporter: that phone has been out there, galaxy has the 4.7. why didn't you just get that? it's been out there for so long. >> because, i don't know actually. i've had a 4 for like three years and then i just was like i'm going to get the 6. >> reporter: how many red bulls have you drank? not enough maybe? good luck to you. when we go to the front of the line, this is where where we find the people who have been out here from like tuesday.

doing air strikes, every single one of you would be looking at us and asking us why we shot before we aimed. >> reporter: the administration says 40 nations have pledged support. and you saw secretary kerry there. he is headed to new york this afternoon to chair a session with the united nations. they're going to be focusing on helping the new iraqi government. >> thank you very much, tracie potts live from washington this morning. it is 6:32 right now. several ships are gearing up to resume searching for missing malaysia flight 370. officials have been analyzing data from the plane since it disappeared in march trying to determine where it crashed. the most recent analysis suggests the plane may have gone down in the water south of what was initially considered the highest priority search zone. the votes are in, the united kingdom will stay united. scottish voters have rejected a bid for independence. supporters of the do not

polo. you start a category 1 hurricane at 74. this is a very strong tropical storm. we got the latest projected path and intensity, and as of this morning, it looks like polo will start to head away from the baja be peninsula and a lot of the winds will not even reach the peninsula. a lot of people like to vacation there this time of year and a lot of us have family there as well. 63 oakland, 64 in san jose and as we head into your afternoon, a little bit of moisture here. you'll notice we started showing you this radar imagery at 4:30 this morning. at this point we basically sliced it in half with a stronger onshore flow. it will push all that humidity straight out of the bay year

leaving us with abundant sunshine. and out in the tri-valley, not too hot today. you'll end up in the mid 80s. let's check your drive. here's mike. >> we have a slowdown really kicking in for san jose and another incident maybe coming into the downtown. 680 is where we typically see slowdowns happening this time of day but a little stronger than we typically see this time. we'll show you the maps. you dip in speed a bit around story road past our camera and up toward the airport where there was some debris reported in lanes. and approaching that same area, north 87 coming toward 280, we have maybe a disabled vehicle reported. i see some slowing just north of alma. now south 101 at cesar chavez, we had an earlier crash.

it may be enough of a distraction that it causes folks to dip in speed a little bit, which is rippling to the bay bridge. look at the golden gate bridge across from the north bay. you can't see the north bay or even parts of the south tower so there is fog across that span. just use caution in patches. because of the moisture from yesterday's rain, we still have fog creeping around some spots. we did have the metering lights turn on early. friday has a good backup here. it's not causing a problem out of the maze or east shore. you do have a slowdown about 20 minutes getting into the city. >> the markets are picking up this morning as well. they've been open for just a few minutes now, about 7. the market is up 75 points so far. the biggest headline on wall street this morning, potentially record breaking ipo from chinese

no major problems through the dublin interchange. the interchange is the isabelle interchange where the slowing is. building north 101, north 107 and at 101 where it meets 87, a tire is blocking a car in part of the fast lane so that's a distraction and slowing traffic there. there's your high rise at the san mateo bridge. the bay shore freeway has some low clouds hovering around. no issues in to san francisco. south around cesar chavez slows as it goes out of the city. >> thank you very. a south san francisco man is in jail this morning after alleged live beating another man to death with a bar bell in the middle of a popular gym. "today in the bay"'s stephanie chuang is live with more on what

reported a woman at the home was holding a gun during an argument. it's believed the two people involved in that case were mcdonald and his fiancee. investigators say the woman set the gun down and left the home before police arrived. legal analyst stephen clark said the old report could should new light on the new case. >> if mr. mcdonald can show that on a past occasion he was the one that felt threatened because his fiancee picked up a gun, that could explain his conduct in august if he grabbed her. it gives credibility to a potential self-defense case. >> mcdonald has not commented on either the may or august incident. he continues to play as he awaits a decision on the august case. team officials say they'll let due process run its course before making any decisions about his status with the team.

we have asked repeatedly for the report on the august incident that led to his arrest. they will not release that report. >> the first confirmed cases of enterovirus d-68 has been reported in california. but concern has led to crowded waiting rooms for doctors across the state. california is now the 19th state to see cases of the troubling respiratory virus. of the four cases here, three are in san diego county, one in ventura county. all of them children. the virus, which has been around for decades, spreads like most common colds. doctors say children with asthma are more susceptible to the virus and there are some key symptoms to look out for. >> if they start wheezing, if they're in distress, if they're using the muscles between the

ribs and their stomachs to breathe, you get to the hospital or their doctor as quickly as possible. >> officials say the best way to avoid getting the virus is to wash your hands often and frequently disinfect frequently used surfaces like tables and door knobs. >> employees of san jose have been abusing city-issued credit card. one employees purchased several high-end tablets without getting city approval. in another case, an employee who totalled a car used his city credit card to rent a bmw for two weeks. the auditor said most card
