three correctional deputies are facing murder charges in the killing of inmate michael tyree. we have now learned the investigators believe inmates who witnessed the attack have been intimidated to stay quiet by deputies. yesterday investigators locked down the cellblock where the inmate died and put in new guards. a stolen race car has been found in oakland. the 1967 mustang was taken from a home in san ramon on tuesday. the mustang was inside the trailer attached to a ford truck. detectives found the truck near the open coliseum yesterday. then the helicopter was called in to certainly the area for the trailer. it was found with the mustang inside at a storage yard. no one was there and no one has been arrested. the mustang is worth $100,000. it was a dramatic jewelry heist caught on surveillance cameras. a million dollars stolen in just minutes. now three years later an arrest has been made.

at 8:46 a.m. eastern time, the exact time the first plane crashed into the north tower and world trade center, they held a moment of silence. in sacramento, thousands came out to remember 9/11 by honoring hometown heroes. people lined the streets for a parade at the capital for men that stopped gunmen on a train three weeks ago. anthony sadler, spencer stone risked their lives to save 300 passengers. yesterday a crowd cheered them on. >> we've been all around the world these past couple weeks. i just want you all to know all the thanks we've received everywhere doesn't feel anything in comparison to being in front of our home crowd like this. >> sacramento pulled out all the stops. the men got keys to the city, proclamation by lawmakers and a fly over by a c-17. there was a heightened

sensitivity because of september 11th which made this story even more tennis. a bomb scare on united airlines to south carolina. three minutes into the flight german authorities ordered the plane to return. firefighters and authorities swarmed the 747. everyone was evacuated on the tarmac. nothing suspicious was found and all of the passengers were rebooked onto a later flight. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, caught on camera and posted on instagram, a conversation between two san francisco police officers leads to an investigation. plus the raiders announce they have signed former 49er smith the same day the d.a. filed charges against him.

introduce you to this little guy or girl. i'm not sure. we'll find out.

this morning -- some special guests from pets in need. executive director al mollica is here with toonces. you're watching "today in the bay." >> this morning special guests in from pets in need. executive director with some crying over there. here with a little kitty that's adorable but a little scared. >> a little scared. >> what do you have here. >> six weeks old. he's very jittery this morning. this the first time he's been away from his mom. >> and the first time on tv probably. >> first time on tv. >> tell us about the need especially this time of year. i know cat season is wrapping up or are we still in that right now. >> kitten season is pretty much winding down. however, we just got a litter of mom and eight kittens yesterday.

that's the case with shelters really across the country. it's the end of kitten season but they are still a great need for people to come in and foster animals. >> when they are this young, it's pretty dangerous for them to be in the shelters. talk about the need of foster parents and what you need to do to be able to help. >> it's much healthier and safer for kittens and puppies to be outside of the shelter. they are able to be socialized more effectively. it's just a healthier environment in a home. it also helps us -- helps shelters to have a lot more space to bring in other animals when we have foster family situations. >> what if you already have a pet at home, a dog who wouldn't be happy if i brought home a cute kitten. what advice do you give people if you do want to foster but not sure it will work in your house. >> bring the dog in and have them interact with animals you're interested in fostering and see how that goes. if it works -- in most cases it does, you're good to go.

>> what do we know about this little one? brothers and sisters, eight of you? >> the mommy had four kittens and this is the only one that survived. that happens a lot. >> okay. >> so my wife and i are going to be fostering mommy and this little guy for the next couple weeks until he's ready to be spade and neutered and up for adoption. >> he's got great markings, definitely adorable and curious. what do people do go to pets in need. >> www.petsinneed.org. call us, if they are interested in adopting at some point or fostering. >> thanks so much. thanks for coming on. the face. got to get a close-up of the face if possible. thanks so much for making us part of your morning. we'll have more local news at 5:00. giants take on padres right here on nbc bay area at 6:00. of course we'll be here live at 11:00 all day and on the
