>> good morning. happy friday. it's in the upper 50s, nice and cool as you head out, 57 degrees it in the peps lpeninsula, san francisco waking up into the lower 60s and some clouds starting to move if in. heading into the day just like yesterday it was gorgeous. 73 degrees in the east bay will be the high today, peninsula 77 and the south bay 81 degrees. san francisco reaching 67 degrees and 82 degrees in the fort bay. while the tri-valley today tops out in the mid 80s. a lot of sunshine today that continues into the weekend as temperatures start to climb and it gets very hot as we head into next week. i will are more on that coming up in the microclimate forecast in a few minutes. let's get a look at the roads with mike. good morning. it is friday so we expect a lighter volume of traffic but over in dublin you still have all the folks traveling westbound through the construction area that you typically see. we have no surprises as we look at your map. a smooth drive around the

tri-valley and the rest of your bay as traffic flows around the bay. we could learn what's next for the man accused of killing a hayward police officer. this afternoon mark estrada is going to face a judge for the first time since that deadly shooting earlier this week. as he heads to court more details are emerging about the investigation. >> "today in the bay's" bob redell is live at the santa rita county jail where estrada is going held this morning. good morning. >> reporter: kris and sam, police transfers mark estrada to the santa rita county jail around 9:00 last night after oakland hospital finished treating him for at least one gunshot wound he received in his encounter with hayward police wednesday morning. later today at 2 estrada a 21-year-old man from oakland will make his first appearance in court where we expect he will be formally charged in the murder of scott lunger. police say estrada shot and killed sergeant lunger without warning during a traffic stop.

estrada was hurt when sergeant lunger's partner fired back at him. estrada's mother tells our sister station that he is a good son with a good heart. here is with a his family attorney this to tell us yesterday. >> they ask that no judgment be passed until the entire case is before a court of law. >> reporter: hayward police would like you to take a look at this surveillance video and see if you recognize the sed tan that's pulling into that driveway. this vehicle was recorded am mr. chairman's oakland neighborhood shortly after the murder of sergeant lunger in hayward. again, this was early wednesday morning. hayward police would like to speak with the driver of that car. officers won't say why, but they feel that that person could play a significant role in their investigation. reporting live here in dublin, bob redell, "today in the bay." now to a developing story overnight in louisiana. a gunman opened tire at a movie theater killing three people and

wounding nine other people before then killing himself. we now know several of the victims are in critical condition this morning. the victims range in age from the late teens to their 60s. police say the suspected shooter is a 58-year-old man. investigators are not yet releasing his name but a bomb squad is investigating suspicious materials found inside his car. we've also learned that the fbi is joining in that investigation. louisiana governor bobby jindal met with families in the hospital. he says one teacher leaped to protect another, possibly saving her life, and a second managed to pull the fire alarm to alert others in the theater. >> this has never happened anywhere but you certainly never imagine -- we never imagined it would lap in louisiana and in lafayet lafayette. the shooting comes as a jury decides whether james holmes should be put to death for the theater shooting in aurora,

colorado. the shooter in louisiana does have a criminal history, but nothing in recent years. we are learning right now more about the knife wielding man shot by fremont police earlier in the week. fremont police say troy francis threatened and chased two women that he lived with inside of their home when officers got to the house they say that francis charged at them with that knife. both officers then shot francis. he is now recovering in the hospital. the officers were not hurt. now to a tragic scene out of vallejo where police are investigating a murder suicide. neighbors tell us they heard several is gunshots coming from a home on songwood drive. when officers arrived at the found one man shot at the front door. he is now at the hospital with life-threatening injuries and inside the home they found another man and woman shot dead. neighbors tell us there were several children living in that home. >> fortunately from what i know no kids were hurt, but sadly there were kids in the house

when this happened. >> investigators are not releasing the names of the victims. they are also not saying who pulled the trigger. a big break this morning in a deadly shooting in the south bay recently. police now say they have made two arrests. this happened june 26th in east san jose near tear land avenue and pensacola drive. the victim is 17-year-old jonathan zeranio. he died at the scene. two men from san jose aged 18 and 21 are now facing murder charges. investigators say one of the two opened fire after some sort of argument. happening right now, a wildfire still raging near lake berryessa is growing. this as crews enter a third day of trying to fight those flames back. ouss of acres are charred and the fire still only 15% contained. right now it is burning off highway 128 and there are mandatory evacuations still in effect for some people who live in that area. "today in the bay" stephanie chuang is live at the incident command post with the latest numbers. good morning, steph.

>> reporter: we are at the new cal fire command post in vacaville, 20 miles south of where we were before. you can see where firefighters have to check in. we are told they moved here at 10:00 last night. you get the sense there is progre progress, that the numbers are much better than they were before. the acreage still at 6,900 but that's roughly the same as noon yesterday. weather has certainly helped. it's still a big wildfire, containment just at 15% and almost 1,400 firefighters and personnel out here. that blooped from 500 yesterday morning. since wednesday afternoon the start of the fire firefighters have struggled with the steep rugged terrain. thankfully no other structures have burned, still just that one barn destroyed and one house damaged. cal fire says it is not letting up on attack. >> we are not taking any chances with the percent contained. we still have a lot of open line to build. we are not taking any chances.

>> reporter: this is heavily dependent on air support. yesterday they used four air tankers and 13 helicopters. those are ground overnight because it is dark. good progress means some evacuations have been lifted for the golden bear area, although there are still some homes threatene threatened. we are also polling this fire ripping through south lake tahoe. right now highway 50 is closed as crews battle the flames. about 100 acres are burning on both sides of the highway near sly park road and west of myers. a campground in the area is under evacuation as well. firefighters say the flames are only 5% contained this morning. ironically the cause of this this fire might be the same as the cause of the napa county fire. investigators are looking at a video of a truck that lost a wheel and then caught fire on the side of the road. this is not a good start to our tire season here.

we are in the midst of the fire season. let's check in with meteorologist kari hall who says there are some heat or hot conditions, kari, lurking right now after the weekend. >> yes. it starts to heat up next week so it will be harder to get a lot of these wildfires under control, but right now conditions are favorable. looking at the fire, the wragg fire, the current conditions there, 57 degrees and humidity at 85%. only a light southwesterly wind. as the bay wake up this morning it's 60 degrees in livermore, napa 52 degrees, san francisco at 59 degrees and half-moon bay at 58 degrees. highs today will be a couple of degrees warmer than yesterday but still absolutely gorgeous outside and very comfortable. campbell look for a high of 81 degrees, pacifica 68, outer sunset 64 degrees and also some 70s and 80s elsewhere across the bay. 71 in oakland and san ramone today a high of 84 degrees. we've been talking about a warm up. i will have more on that. what to expect this weekend that's coming up in a few

minutes. let's see how traffic a moving. >> we will start with the san mateo bridge right over my shoulder. we typically have one lane closed eastbound and that's what we see this morning. it this morning it is the left lane as you are approaching. as we look at your map you don't see any slowing eastbound with the arrow pointing over toward the hayward side. the rest of your bay moves nicely. over on the right out of tracie a little slowing just below 60 starting that morning commute. and this friday especially heading down in toward gilroy you might smell it in the hair, there's something big coming, oh, yeah, i will hand it off to you. we are ready to -- >> get our stink on. we're heading to the gilroy garlic festival to see what is cooking it this weekend. >> and hold it. that is what san francisco is telling people who are thinking about urinating in public, but it's what happens if they don't hold it that's the shocker.

paint that pe eflt s back when we return. s back when we return. s back when we return. s back when we return. es back when we return.

the drought is affecting all of us. at pg&e we've definitely put a focus on helping our agricultural customers through the drought. when they do an energy efficiency project and save that money they feel it right in their pocket book. it's exciting to help a customer with an energy efficiency project because not only are they saving energy but they are saving water. we have a lot of projects at pg&e

that can help them with that and that's extremely important while we're in a drought. it's a win for the customer and it's a win for california. together, we're building a better california.

>> announcer: you're watching "today in the bay." good morning and happy friday. san jose, as we look near downtown, the palm trees not swaying too much this this morning. kind of a still morning. we will have to see what the wind is doing tonight as the giants take on the a's at 7:15. happening today, garlic breath abounding in the best possible way with the opening of a favorite summer event. of course we are talking about the gilroy garlicñbfm festivalh begins today. doors open at 9:00 this morning for the start of the three-day festival. sam, i'm assuming you have not been yet. >> no, but i have one of those garlic hats, actually, which i'm going to wear in honor of the festival. 4:44. trips along san francisco's waterfront are about to get a lot easier with the relaunch of a historic streetcar line. get ready for a ride on the e train, that is the embarcadero streetcar line. for now it will only run on the weekends. next year it goes seven days a

wall the pee actually bounces back and hits your pants or gets you wet. so is we are piloting it to see if we can discourage people from peeing on many of our hot spots. >> that is as reasonable an idea as any. >> he shows us how it works with a bottle of water. >> some german cities have had success with this. the paint is paired with signs that say hold it. >> i bet there are a lot of folks who said if i did this in my bathroom maybe my kids would aim better. >> you are just going to take the value out of it. i don't want to walk around smelling like pee in downtown san francisco. >> it is a serious problem and it's just gross. so the city trying to do whatever they can. amazon is the big stock to watch today. the company says subscriber rates are skyrocketing. >> for that and the rest of the news before your bell we turn to landon dowdy. happy friday, landon.
