>> we now know one man died in this fire. the fire was coming from the back of the house. thaw started hearing explosions in the garage which we were about to show you. also here is the deputy chief with some of the other details. >> when we arrived on the scene we had a heavy fire to the rear of the structure. we had live ammunition that was going off in the garage. we also encountered live wire to the rear of the house. >> reporter: so now we know that the man died in a bedroom in the rear part of the house, which is also where the fire started. not particularly in that bedroom but in the back of the house. the fire then spread into the garage. as you heard the chief say, there were explosions. we now know that it sounded like the man who was inside or the resident of the home stored bullet there's in the garage.

neighbors say that they heard the explosions as well. they made multiple calls to 911 but we do know that the bullets or the explosions were not the actual cause of the fire. the investigation does continue here. pg&e still on the scene as well. we'll bring you updates throughout the morning. in mountain view, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> "today in the bay" stephanie trong live at the police department. investigators are still searching for the suspect. how the the little boy? >> reporter: good morning to you both, laura and sam. last we checked the little boy is still in really bad condition with life threatening injuries. at this point police say they're just looking for at least five men who got involved in some sort of gunfight but the only victim, that young boy. >> 40, 50 people, a party. you know, and they were shooting

from here in the -- the 7-year-old was out on the sidewalk by that van. >> okay. >> over there. he, i guess, took a round. >> reporter: that 7-year-old was shot in the chest suffering life-threatening injuries. family members had already taken him to the hospital by the time officers arrived after the shooting 5:20 last night on 2800 block of fifth street. the men got into a gun battle using two different caliber handguns all shooting in one direction. the thought was the men were shooting people at this party randomly. again, just five men is at least five men is who they're looking for but at this point the only tip really that police have is their link to a dark colored vehicle. live in vallejo, stephanie trong, "today in the bay." >> thank you. now to a developing story, the chp and oakland is on the lookout for 16-year-old girl who eggs scaped from her custody. >> "today in the bay" bob ridell has this story.

time. then we have a sunny and mild afternoon coming your way. temperatures for today at lunchtime, showing you here. 64 degrees on the peninsula. step outside for lunch, really nice day coming your way. if you want to have lunch outside should be pretty good up until this point, noon. before that wind really starts to whip. let's talk about that. we take you into thursday at noon and you can see here for today looking relatively quiet at this point. but then as we head deeper into the afternoon, especially tonight, that's when that wind will start to pick up. otherwise, big news in the weather department. we actually have a better chance for showers and snow over the sierra nevada as we get into this weekend. i'll tell you when and how much we're expecting coming up in my next report. right now i want to welcome in mike inouye. looking windy on the bay bridge. >> the camera is shaking a bit. this is our amityville camera. get caught with a breeze. no advisories from chp but the camera shows some movement in the air.

towards zn san jose northbound. the crash right here at the 101/280 interchange still something everything is out of the roadway and may completely be clear from the roadway. i'm going to get that confirmation from chp. no delays from silicon valley or up the peninsula. back to you. it's 5:11. coming up next on your thursday, startling new information about what else might happen when the big one hits. some rare confusion out of apple this morning and the pentagon comes to silicon valley. ahead in business news. taking a peek outside. s curve, san rafael. traffic moving smoothly. mike's got tab on that morning commute no matter where you're headed out the door. 5:11.

here's what we think we know. yes, the apple watch will be delivered to some people tomorrow. no, you will not be able to buy it in stores tomorrow. if you weren't the first to preorder, that's where it gets super hazy. some customers are reporting their ship dates were just really soon have now been moved to mid summer. facebook opened financial books to investors l.a. night and said it had done a great job increasing revenue. then plowed that money back into the business. just the sort of thing you want to see from a growth company. though only some companies can get away with that kind of big spending. things like paying $2 billion for a the experimental virtual reality goggles from oculus as google did months ago. yahoo! had done that investors would have stormed the castle. facebook can get away with this kind of thing. let's check the markets. landon dowdy is live at cnbc world headquarters. good morning, landon.

silicon valley was largely born through defense and aeronautics. >> thanks a lot, scott. well, we've all heard of this in the bay area, the big one is coming. the new research just released suggests the shaking won't stop there. the study was done by scientists at ufc. their findings suggest the big one will be followed by a flurry of other big ones. the massive earthquake we're talking about will be bigger than a magnitude 7.7 and hit somewhere i long the san and dras falls. the new research shows the quake that big will probably trigger additional large shakers on nearby faults. a separate study found 150 million people live in places that could experience earthquakes. that's nearly half of all americans. the last count was done in 1994 and at that time only 75 million americans were at risk for earthquakes. a lot more population out there.

well, it wasn't just the big one but people in the guideses felt some shaking recently. yesterday two quakes hit the area. 2.9 followed by 2.6. earthquakes are fairly common in the geysers area because the area is near the san andreas. experts say an electric power plant in the area is responsible for most of the small quakes experienced there. experts say the plant actually withdraws steam from the ground causing seismic plates to shift. happening today, emergency response drill on the peninsula. san mateo county health workers will join emergency teams in door to door operation called silver dragon. teams will work as if there's been a major disaster checking in on residents. they will also give them handouts on emergency preparedness. all right. now to an investigative unit exclusive. 1300 breaks across the bay area. we are talking about water pipelines and millions of gallons of drinking water all lost because the pipes are aging

and water companies are just trying to keep up. nbc bay area investigative unit followed crews in the east bay and in san francisco. their only job, to find leaks and to fix them. it's a way of proactively replacing pipes before they bust. right now the san francisco public utilities commission says it pays about $40 million a year to replace about 15 miles of pipe but water officials admit they're not replacing the pipes fast enough to keep up. >> how many miles a year do you think you ought to be -- would you like to be doing to try to keep up and maybe get ahead of this curb? >> we feel 15 miles is the sweet spot for right now. and this is because it's sustainable, it's doable, it's tearing up 15 miles of streets in san francisco. that's approximately 150 blocks. >> all right. tonight at 11:00 steven stock right there will show you where pipes are breaking and how cities are trying to fix -- find those fixes. if you have a story call us call our tip line or send an e-mail.

they saw heavy flames and heavy smoke coming out of the back of the house. they immediately tried to get inside that home to check and see if that man could make it out alive. and here's his neighbor. >> yelling as loud as we could to, dan, dan, dan. and what else do you do? we're banging on the house. you know, i thought about trying to bang the front door down but i knew where his bedroom was and i started banging there and yelling. lucky i didn't cut my arm. the window broke and at that time all the smoke came billowing out. >> reporter: the mountain view firefighters very aware of what was at stake this morning. they knew dan was inside that house and they wanted to try to get him outside. then they heard those explosions coming from the garage. turned out to be bullets. the man who lives here had a lot of ammunition. the neighbors were able to alert police and firefighters that that was the case. once the firefighters were able to put that out they continued on with what they hoped because

rescue mission and it turned out to be a recovery instead. the investigation out here will continue. pg&e still on the scene because the lines also went down and that is under repair. in mountain view, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> hr rowic efforts by that neighbor. 5:32. the search is on this morning for a gunman after a 7-year-old v vallejo boy was shot. >> steph, investigators also still looking for the suspects. good morning. >> reporter: that's right. good morning to you both, sam and laura. now you have a 7-year-old boy fighting for his life after this reckless and wild shooting by several men at a party last night just after 5:00 in south vallejo. investigators and crime scene technicians studying the scene there at the 800 block of fifth street for hours marking at least a dozen pieces of evidence on this ground. many of them likely bullet casings. multiple men using at least two different caliber handguns got

into a gunfight at this party of up to 50 people. one of the stray bullets hitting the 7-year-old boy in the chest, a wound that may now kill him. investigators are trying to track down at least five men reported to be involved. >> shooting in that direction. there's no rounds coming the other direction. we're assuming they were shooting at people at the party randomly. >> reporter: the only other major tip at this point is that the men were linked to a dark colored vehicle. as for the 7-year-old boy, his family members had already taken him to the hospital by the time the first officers arrived on scene. so along with counting those at least five men the hope and thought, of course, is with the young boy and family hoping he pulls through this morning. stephanie trong, "today in the bay." >> thank you, steph. your heart breaks hearing about those circumstances. a teenager on the run after in the custody of chp and then escapes police officers in oakland. >> at the time officers were booking the 16-year-old girl on car theft.

>> you're not going to convince this dodger fan that he wasn't on some juice. >> barry bonds, most home runs ever? come on. he's a locked hall of fame, right? how many -- how many -- how many mvps did he have? unbelievable. >> unbelievable talent. that's not really debatable. in a statement bonds wrote, quote, i am excited about what the future holds for me as i embark on the next chapter. something that very much is in debate though, will bonds ever make it into the hall of fame? we're going have to stay tuned for that answer. >> he would most certainly like it no, doubt. as for the action on the i'd if right now bring out the -- the giants will go through the sweep with the dodgers this afternoon at at&t park. >> a little optimism. let's go giants. last night here on nbc bay area clayton kershaw and madison bumgarner. he took a two-run lead in the sixth until their pinch hitter went deep to tie the game.

stayed that way until the bottom of the ninth inning. bases loaded. joe gets enough of that pitch into center field. bring home the winning run on a sac fly. giants win 3-2. big win for them. ryan vogelsong will take the mound later today. first pitch at 12:45. >> they're not excited. look at that. >> you would think they would won their fourth world series in six years. >> that's good. always windy conditions at at&t park. and maybe we will see more of the same weather today. let's check in with meteorologist christina loren. >> we are going to see breezy to windy conditions out theres a vogelsong takes the mound. that was a big win. a good match-up between kershaw and mad bone. temperatures in the 50s. good looking day shaping up for you. we're going see the temperatures climb by lunchtime into the low 60s. low clouds to start. sunny and mild afternoon coming your way. as we head throughout this afternoon 64 degrees. lunchtime on the peninsula, you will hit 62 degrees on the east shore as you break for lunch.

in the tri-valley will be at 68 degrees. finishing off the day, the highs still coming in at 4:00 p.m. 71 degrees for this south bay. 77up in wine country. 68 degrees in oakland. and fremont. and 75 degrees for the tri-valley. let's talk about that game for today. dodgers taking on the giants. again, first pitch, 62 degrees. you are going to be headed out to this game and they usually fill up the stands during the day. i know a couple of our producers are headed out there. this is what you want to look for. 62 degrees at the fifth inning. wind out of the west. 15 to 20 miles per hour sustained. that could pick up and carry that ball out toward center field. that's where you're going to see the flags blowing as we head throughout the day today out there at at&t park. that wind will be gusty so we could see gusts in excess of 25 miles per hour. what does that mean? it means we could see that ball picked up and carried a little extra travel courtesy of the wind out there. let's find out how our drive is shaping up. a little windy which could affect you if you have a

high-profile window. >> the camera ruz trembling more earlier but that camera is mounted in emeryville. shooting across the bay at that beautiful tower at the bay bridge and i'm watching this beautiful flow of these taillights. we do have a lot more of them though. as christina said, watch for the gusts of wind developing. so far no advisories issued for the bay bridge or richmond-san rafael bridge. typical build. should see the metering lights turned on anany minute there. upper east shore is moving smoothly. just before you get to the caldecott tunnel. it was clear a couple minutes ago. traffic is flowing better but a traffic near the caldecott tunnel is a distraction. the tunnel is clear heading through the area. zoom out and show you no real problems on the peninsula or crossing over there. live look at fremont showing you traffic into the south bay. smooth drive. light for san jose so far, guys. back to you. >> thank you. 5:389. the boston marathon bomber caught on camera in a show of defiance. details coming up.

plus, paying the price for telling secrets. the punishment expected for former cia director david petraeus. live look outside right now. oakland, things starting to pick up out there. we are going to be back momentarily with 15 minutes of nonstop news, traffic, and weather right after this break.

welcome back. it turns out a man who accidentally shot himself in paris over the weekend was planning to stage a terror attack according to officials. that is what france's prime minister is saying. paris police arrested 24-year-old algerian after he shot himself in the leg and called for an ambulance. authorities now believe that man was targeting one or more churches and is linked to a prior shooting death. investigators say they discovered an arsenal of loaded guns in the man's car. it is an image doing little to boost empathy for the boston marathon bomber as if there was a single finger pointed out a

camera. they released video of several weeks after the attack. while pacing in his cell he approached a surveillance camera and dlifs the on scene gesture. prosecutors presented it in the penalty phase of the trial to argue tsarnaev shows no remorse. here's what nbc's pete williams is working on for the "today" show. >> it's an an emotional few days here in the courtroom in the boston in the marathon bombing trial penalty phase. the government's witnesses so far have talked mainly about the effects the bombings have had on the victims and their families, both the emotional and the physical pain. i'll have more on that and what the defense says about that notorious image of tsarnaev coming up on "today." the fall from grace, former u.s. military commander and cia director david petraeus culminates today in not carolina courtroom. >> that's where he will be sentenced for leaking classified information. "today in the bay" tracie potts live in washington, d.c. tracie, any chance he will get any jail time?

>> reporter: one misdemeanor and no jail time. that's the plea deal. a lot less than he could have gotten under this charge for sharing state secret, things like the identities of covert officers and war strategy with his biographer who also turned out to be the woman he was having an a fair with. petraeus today is expected to plea guilty and get a $40,000 fine. less than half of what he could have gotten in two years probation. he resigned three days after president obama was re-elected, after in 2012. and the fbi says after they confiscated that he also lied to the fbi about having shared it. but apparently in this plea deal they balanced what he did what what he had done before. the fact that he almost saved the war in iraq with the troop surge and oversee that. also, the war in afghanistan. bottom line, he will not serve a day behind bars under this plea deal assuming it's accepted today by the judge. >> okay. tracie potts from washington. thank you very much.

happening later today, the family of mike yoel brown is filing a wrongful death lawsuit against the city of ferguson. now, we knew this was coming. we just did not know exactly when. last night lawyers for the family announced they were going to file that lawsuit later today. the lawsuit will also likely name former officer darren wilson who shot and killed brown. wilson resigned from the police department back in november. brown's shooting led to, of course, often violent protests in ferguson and the rest of the country for that matter. a national movement calling for changes in how police deal with minorities. the big one is coming but new research released the shaking won't stop there. the study was done by scientists at ufc. their findings suggest the big one will be followed by a flurry of other big ones. massive earthquake will be bigger than magnitude 7.7 and hit somewhere along the san andres a fault. now, this new research shows the dwak that big will probably trigger additional large shakers on nearby faults. a separate study presented along

with the one from ufc 150 million people living places that could experience earthquakes. that's nearly half of all americans. the last count was done in 1992 and at bat time only 75 more americans were at risk from earthquakes. this one wasn't the big one but people in the geysers, they certainly felt shaking recently. yesterday two quakes hit that area. a 2.9 followed by a 2.6. earthquakes are fairly common in the geyser, particularly because the area is near the san andreas fault. experts say an electric power plant in the area is responsible for most of the small quakes experienced there. the experts say plant withdraws steam from the ground causing seismic plates to shift. happening today, emergency response drill on the peninsula. san mateo county health worker s will join emergency teams in door to door operation called

silver dragon. teams will work as if there's been a major disaster checking in on residents. see what they can do to help. they will also give them handouts on emergency preparedness, trying to make sure everyone is prepared. we know the big one is coming. we just don't know exactly when. so it's always a great idea for all of us to keep in mind to have those emergency kits ready. be prepared. you never know. >> we talk so much about it but actually putting your money where your mouth is in terms of getting communities ready is a nice thing to see there in san mateo. >> if you're smart enough to keep the supplies check them. >> you want to have a emergency radio and make sure you have plenty of water for you and your family, canned goods, nonperishable items. every time you go to the store it's a good idea to collect and add and move things out. use the old stuff. bring in the new so you can always keep it fresh. temps are mostly in the 50s. we never want to for get we do live in earthquake country. 64 degrees at noon on the peninsula. up to 70 degrees on the peninsula at 4:00 p.m. today. so it will be another comfortable day for us.
