the fbi. >> this was a naturalized u.s. citizen from kuwait. how can the u.s. with no warning signs, an outgoing kid in high school on the wrestling team. what can we do to prevent the lone wolf attacks? >> the fbi is looking for some indications. obviously nwe live in a free society. there is a balance of civil liberty and privacy and security. you will not have 100% of both. the fbi cannot monitor everybody who travels internationally. the fbi is looking for some sign. somebody involved in social media that brought to their attention. somebody making violent statements or indicating that they will act against the united states. until that happens, the fbi will not get engaged in the investigation. what they have to do is really rely on the community. community leaders and family members and coworkers. people who see change in behavior that indicates there is a violent tendency and that

brought to law enforcement. the fbi and law enforcement, we're not going to follow everybody. particularly somebody who may become self radicalized and not engaged with a particular group. >> shawn how will the fbi probe the recent trip to the middle east? >> they will work with law enforcement and foreign partners. they will look at u.s. intelligence community to see if some database there an indication. looking at the travel back and forth. people he may have traveled with. that sort of thing. credit card records. they will look at cell phone records. to look for connectivity internationally. this investigation well take a bit of effort. >> shawn henry, thanks for your time. the race for the white house is ramping up with the faceoff in iowa and donald trump surging

86 for the south bay, 79 for the peninsula today, 76 for the east bay and 70 for san francisco. the hot spot without a doubt, of course, will be the tri-valley with temperatures still reaching 90 today. and then tomorrow with that tropical moisture moving in it's not actually going to cool off a whole lot, it's just going to get more humid and we may have a few thunderstorms here at home tomorrow. we'll talk more about that coming up at 7:00 this morning. >> anthony, thanks. here in the bay area police continue to search for three men who attacked a teen in a possible hate crime in downtown palo alto. police released these sketches of two of the three men. the attack happened wednesday night in a parking garage on bryant street near university avenue. police say a 19-year-old hispanic man was walking to his car in this garage after work. he told police three white men approached him saying things like you don't belong here and then they stabbed him in the thigh with a screwdriver. the attack is sending shock waves through downtown palo alto typically a very safe

place. >> i was born and raised here and i've never gotten any racially charged comments. >> again, these sketches are of just two of the three attackers. police describe all three men as thin, white and in their 20s. an east bay family is desperate for answers after their 19-year-old son was shot dead by pleasanton police on july 5th. pleasanton police say bubba demming attacked one of their officers and that officer shot the teen twice, killing him. last night friends and family gathered to remember the football player and musician. his father john demming, says the pleasanton police are not telling the truth. he tells us he's getting the run-around about what happened. >> if you contradict yourself it's a lie. and now that we've been presented with lies we want to know what's going on. >> friends and family who knew demming say he was a gentle person who loved music and his church youth group. pleasanton police say they are investigating the shooting. the district attorney's office also is conducting an
