"today in the bay" kris sanchez joining us in the newsroom with new details on the latest allegation to surface. >> we're talking about a different inmate and two different correctional deputies but the same kind of beating and that is what a former gang member says he experienced and witnessed at the santa clara county jail. today an attorney for reuben garcia is expected to file a suit against santa clara county.

in if, he claims that guards beat him on july 2nd and broke his jaw. his lawyer says these are pictures of garcia more than a month later and he admits after a fight with another inmate. he did not report his own beating because he didn't want more of the same, but now feels like if he had come forward, thick things might have ended differently for this man michael tyree who in august was screaming for his life. >> if i reported what would happen to me. maybe mike would still be alive right now. >> now garcia did tell investigators what he heard on the night that michael tyree was beaten to death in his cell. three correctional deputies are standing trial for his death. they are matthew farri and rafael rodriguez. also a 25-member blue ribbon commission is investigating tyree's death at the jail. he was interviewed the night that tyree was beaten in his

cell. now, garcia, by the way, that suit that is expected to be filed today names two different correctional deputies. sam and laura. >> kris, thank you. happening today, a legal dispute among neighbors with a child with autism returns to a south bay courtroom. neighbors are suing a sunnyvale family over the parents' response to that behavior. the neighbors claim the 11-year-old boy has been violent against other children and as parents are not properply supervising him. that constitutes a nuisance and now suing for monetary damages. this despite the fact that the family is not living at the home. the judge is still hoping that both sides can settle their dispute. 5:03 right now and this morning investigators are looking for a motive for a rooftop gunman that terrorized a san francisco neighborhood. this as we're learning more on just how tense the scene was as it unfolded. >> the suspect's out.

suspect is not moving at this time. >> the man climbed up several stories before firing twice. police eventually shot and killed him. "today in the bay" stephanie chuang is tracking the very latest on the investigation. quite a scene. >> yeah, it was. you saw it there and you heard it there, but we did swing by the scene earlier this morning. it was completely quiet and clear. you might imagine. but, again as you saw in that video. very different scene unfolding yesterday afternoon when the man came in with the reports of a handgun and rifle walking up the stairs at a construction site at valencia. officers rushed to the scene. they could hear shots fired as they arrived. looked up and saw the suspect, a man in his late 20s dressed in white coveralls on top of a construction elevator on the sixth floor. and police got close and then say the suspect pointed a rifle down below towards the hospital. prompting three officers to shoot at the man killing him.

>> nobody appears to be injured in this active shooter incident. officers left the construction site. it's very fortunate that nobody else was more seriously injured or killed. >> now, this story actually starts even earlier at this big 5 sporting good store in san bruno where a man armed with a handgun and shells. police say the description of that stolen shotgun matches the shotgun in san francisco. we also saw police supervising a white truck behind police tape for hours. you can see getting towed away later last night. it's unclear, but it does appear to be, perhaps, the suspect's vehicle. police say the identity of this man won't be released until family is notified, we may learn that some time today and, of course, the motive behind all that unfolded yesterday. live here in our san francisco newsroom, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay."

builder, they want to build 53 homes on this five acres of land here. the builder would also like to add bike lanes and parking and like to demolish a nursery nearby and the jewish community center that sat vacant here for the past three years. concerned of neighbor that there would be more traffic and less open space and a loss of the semi-field that is in this area. one man we heard from questions whether a new project would somehow expose the area to flooding during heavy rains. now, the jewish community center which is selling the land to pulte argues that this development would create a new neighborhood full of people and lush landscaping. tonight, the city of walnut creek will take up those concerns of nearby residents and take into consideration what pulte and the jewish community center wants to do as they consider the environmental impact report. reporting live here in walnut creek, bob redell, "today in the bay." guess what, this will come as a huge shock, but another cold start to your thursday morning. but things are on the up and up. we're talking about the

temperatures, kari. >> warm up nicely throughout the day. dress in layers. you want to make sure you wear enough layers to stay warm this morning, but peel it off this afternoons once it warms up. very nice and comfortable. here is the lunchtime temperatures in the low 60s across the bay area and a lot of sunshine warming those temperatures up quickly. may even hit 70 degrees in the north bay, while the peninsula during the drive home at 66 degrees and the tri-valley up to 68 degrees. this is what we can expect over the next couple of days, but some changes ahead for the weekend. so, i'll detail that coming up in a few minutes. let's check in now with anthony to see how the traffic is moving. >> things have been pretty good this morning. no big concerns. but one concern right now near the bay bridge approach. this is actually the opposite direction of the main flow of traffic, but, nonetheless, want to point it out coming in from 580. headed over towards 13 and the ramp there is partially blocked because of an accident. i moved the camera and want to show you what i'm looking at. you can see for yourself, not

impacting traffic all that much. but there is the exit ramp and you've got one little car that is stalled on the ramp and you can see traffic still moving without a problem. the opposite flow of the main direction of the most traffic that is slowing this morning. we search over to the maps, you can see across parts of the peninsula, things moving pretty well and fremont, no problems there, as well. >> thanks, anthony. coming up nekts, you have to see it to believe it. the rare diamond that just sold for, get this, 50 million. she better say yes. candidates stumped. the questions that are leaving republican frontrunners scrambling on the campaign trail. got a tip for bay area's investigative unit? call 1-888-996-tips or e-mail theunit@nbcbayarea.com. nbc bay area, we investigate. all that policy talk from this

week's debate is spilling over on decision 2016. they wanted more meaningful questions. okay. so now all that policy talk from this week's debate is spilling on to the campaign trail leaving some candidates stumped on the specifics. >> tracie potts live in washington on who is answering those policy questions and who's not. >> laura and sam, good morning. good morning, everyone. let's start with the frontrunners. donald trump getting a lot of questions now about his immigration plan. he says he wants to model it after the eisenhower plan in the

'50s that everyone home, but now that could be a lot more expensive. tough policy issues that stumped the frontrunners in this week's debate. >> they don't discuss in the agreement. >> sean is not part of this deal. >> continue in new hampshire. donald trump offering few details on how he humanely deports 11 million immigrants. >> the whole management thing. >> ben carson who now says he supports boots on the ground in s syria isn't elaborating that china is involved there. >> i would have to refer you to some actual people to get you the data. >> reporter: ted cruz and marco rubio gearing up for a faceoff. this was cruz in new hampshire last night on rubio and immigration. >> when the fight was being fought, where did you stand? >> reporter: rubio is doubling down on tough talk against russia's leader. >> that's what he is, he is. >> reporter: jeb bush is targeting donald trump's promise to send syrian refugees home.

>> wow. donald to the slaughter. is that the america that represents this extraordinary country. >> reporter: divisions highlighted in this week's debate now playing out on the campaign trail. now, jeb bush came out of that debate hoping to get a boost, in fact, he has now got on the key endorsement from former republican nominee, bob dole. back to you. >> those endorsements flooding in. we remember bob dole from the '90s. happening today an army veteran will receive our military's highest honor is going to be awarded the medal of honor by president obama. he is being honored for his heroic actions in afghanistan. back in august of 2012, he put himself. between his men and a suicide bomber. he attacked and survived that attack and now the tenth living medal of honor recipient from the wars in iraq and afghanistan. turning to business news now, yet another reason not to

shop on. >> who is pushing the envelope now. scott mcgrew this time from wall. >> walmart, sam, says will offer every doorbuster deal online, nine hours before it offers it in the store on thanksgiving evening. let me say that again. you can get the same things online for the same price as you can in the store and, in fact, those online offerings will come at 3:00 a.m. thanksgiving morning. the stores will not offer the exact same deals until 6:00 p.m. thanksgiving night. and the sales will not get any lower. the prices won't get lower for black friday. the whole concept of standing in line to get a wild deal has become a bit old-fashioned. you remember when apple first came out with the apple watch, you could get it online only at first. you could not stand in line in front of the store. well, you could, but they weren't going to sell you an apple watch. if you're wondering what the dominance of online is doing to stores like macy's, well, i'm glad you asked.

shares of macy's fell 14% wednesday as the store says people are shopping less. the trend we've seen three quarters in a row from macy's, what we call same-store sales. san francisco union square building. one interesting problem macy's selling far fewer winter coats because the weather is not turning cold. let's check your news before the bell, landon dowdy is live at cnbc world headquarters. good morning, landon. >> hey, scott, good morning to you, as well. stocks will recover from wednesday's losses and thets lower. the markets trading on low volume and the bond market was closed and unemployment and several federal reserve officials are speaking. investors will be listening for any comments about interest rates. the dow falling 55 points to 17702 and the nasdaq losing 16 to 5067. scott, back over to you. all this talk about the holidays. the statistics are in and the biggest holiday of them all is

not christmas, it's singles day in china. that was yesterday, 11/11. thing of all the ones in that date, singles. the dayles in china celebrate themselves and who better to welcome to that day than the president of the united states. >> good evening to the great people of china. i wanted to take a moment to say hello to all of you out there to wish you a happy singles day. >> i wonder if some people overseas think this is our president. oepthen opened the stock market, our stock market from china to celebrate the day, as well. ollie bobba sold, guys, $14 billion worth of stuff yesterday. our cybermonday, $14 billion for them, our cybermonday, we make a big deal out of it, sells about $1 billion, maybe $1.5 billion worth of stock. a lot of chinese, a lot of single chinese and they buy a lot of stuff. >> they love themselves. >> everything is bigger in texas. everything is bigger in china.

46 degrees and the south bay 42. let's get a closer look at the south bay. morgan hill at 39 degrees and also 39 in campbell and allenrock park at 40 degrees. opening up the picture, we do see low clouds and fog across parts of the north bay starting out at 35 degrees. as we go hour by hour in livermore. look at that temperature at 6:00. now, that's normally right before sunrise. we'll see our coldest temperature and then it warms up nicely. jumping 10 or 11 degrees. every couple of hours and by lunchtime at 63 degrees. a very nice afternoon. 66 degrees at 2:00. and then once the sun sets, our temperatures dipping, once again. expect it to rise up to 70 grees today in gilroy. half moon bay 67 degrees and sunny in napa, too. 66 in pittsburg, 71 in livermore, reaching 67 degrees. there will be more cool mornings, dry afternoons, but there's some more rain in the forecast that starts to move in

on sunday. especially during the morning heading into the north bay. could be a good soaker, too, before it rolls out of here. maybe you're done by the time we start out the morning commute on monday. but some of the first runs of the computer model show us that we could have at least a half an inch of rain. so, looking good as as adding more to those rainfall totals and trying to put a dent in the drought. dry on friday and saturday. nice comfortable temperatures and much cooler on sunday. only 59 degrees in san francisco. let's get a look at that morning commute with anthony. >> we've been talking about the bay bridge toll plaza from time to time. things haven't been active here but you can see from the last frame that we talked things are starting to on in here. we want to show you the traffic maps because there was an exit ramp that was blocked because of an earlier accident. if you're trying to get on to 13 this morning, keep in mind you run into an incident. coming across the san mateo

different water districts in the state. those silicon valley companies have taken their business overseas. >> the left hand and the right hand don't necessarily communicate on different platforms and have different concerns and, so, they don't necessarily communicate. >> right now we can't get the perbecause it puts us into litigation. >> you go else where. >> you go else where. >> you go the middle east. >> steven stock takes us inside companies and shows us how they could help solve the drought and he talks to people with all the money that want to invest that actually can't. that's in the second part of our ongoing series "surviving the drought, we investigate california's water crisis" right here on nbc bay area. if you have a tip for ourive unit, give us a call 1-888-996-tips or send us an e-mail to t theunit@nbcbayarea.com. the new allegations coming to light and what one man is trying to do to make things right. plus, plenty of people are

police ended up shooting and killing a gunman who made his way all the way to the top of a building under construction with two weapons. "today in the bay" stephanie chuang joins us from our newsroom with the latest on the investigation. this froze blocks in the mission yesterday. mreep people could not believe what they were watching. >> all unfolding in front of so many people's eyes. the police chief stressing it is incredible no one else was seriously injured or killed even, especially in such a busy part of the city. and you can hear that gunshot there. busy means a lot of witnesses and this is cell phone video captured by one of them near st. luke's hospital in the mission. police say it was after 4:00 yesterday afternoon when people saw this man walking up the stairs at a construction site arm would a handgun and a rifle. the police chief says officers could actually hear shots fired as they arrived, saw the susp t suspect, a man in his late 20s

==sam/cu== on the warriors' planned waterfront new details this morning on the warriors planned waterfront arena in san francisco's mission bay. looks like the parking plan is already kicking into second gear. port of san francisco members are already looking into using two large parking lots right near the proposed arena location. the port commission yesterday approved plans to create a parking management plan. and to look at logistics behind converting those sites into space for about 1,000 cars for arena events. the next step comes on september 8th when supervisors dewhether to approve the entire arena plan. today we can learn more about what is nextt for the silver and black. a live look at 0.co coliseum, the raiders current home. today oakland's mayor is expected to give an update on the team's status after yesterday's meeting in new york. libby shaft was there trying to

convince nfl executives to keep the raiders in the bay area. the team announced they hired a heavy-hitting ceo to move back to southern california. the plan includes a $1.7 billion stadium in carson, near downtown l.a. to be shared by the raiders and chargers. now, since the announcement, mayor released this statement saying, "i felt it was a positive discussion and that we were well received by the raiders leadership and the other nfl owners." the raiders could move as early as next year. >> time is ticking. no question about that. 5:45. million dollars homes on the peninsula, purchased but left sitting dark and empty. they're called ghost houses and many people say they're damaging the neighborhood. buying homes without the intention of actually moving in. in fact, they have been using tools to do so without seeing the properties in person.

international buyers will take virtual tours, courtesy of marketing videos online. then bid and buy homes from wherever they are in the world. that is causing some concern among locals. >> what are they doing to us? what are they doing to their neighborhood? if i have a ghost house here. >> taking up precious homes. the company behind the marketing videos is named the number one real estate team in the country. much of its success could be attributed to international buyers who oftentimes do business for investments or for tax purchaseposes. some people buy homes to rent them out on air b & b. >> something it says it will crack down on. >> the company announced new policies this week cracking down on those sorts of property owners. air b and b says it will stop people from renting out homes they don't live in. how exac exactly the company will do that is not clear, but it may start with people who

fast-moving fire. the flames first broke out last night. at just three acres, boy, did it quickly spread to 40 acres within a matter of hours. so far no homes are in danger, but the rugged terrain is making it difficult for firefighters to reach those flames. and warm, dry temperatures certainly not helping them out. november is casting its spell across the middle of the united states. that is what meteorologists are calling the powerful, gusty storm that is expected to strike the upper midwest throughout tonight and tomorrow. many states are already dealing with power outages and tornadoings due to this phenomenon. there is a tree that has been pulled over. forecasters say a similar storm sank a ship on the great lakes 40 years ago. >> that's a wicked witch then. >> of the west or of the midwest. >> of the midwest. far way from us. we're going to get a check very quickly from anthony in a second regarding lighter traffic

flows today, but, first, a quick forecast, kari. >> be prepared. don't step out the door thinking it is still summer out there because it is not and you'll definitely get a slap in the face as you feel those temperatures. let's get a live look outside now from at&t park. we have clear skies and a chilly start to the day. not much of a wind and as we go into the afternoon, temperatures do warm up quickly under all of that sunshine. but, skies are still mostly clear in the north bay, it's 34 degrees. 43 degrees in the peninsula, but as we get a closer look at the north bay, there are some spots picking up on some fog, low visibility and especially up around novato into santaa. with those temperatures in the mid to upper 30s, that fog may freeze and create some slick spots on the roads. so, just be aware of that. through the morning commute in redwood city, we're at 45 degrees. fremont 43 degrees and then it warms up. here's your lunchtime temperature. in the low 60s in oakland and in

livermore, 63 degrees. but we're not done there. we continue to see those temperatures making it into the low to mid-60s. some of us, a few spots hit 70 degrees today. so feeling much better, but here's our next weathermaker. it is going to produce some snow up around oregon and washington for today and tomorrow as it moves closer to the bay area, it arrives early sunday morning. producing some rain for the north bay and then moving across the rest of the bay area throughout the day on sunday. and also bringing some snow to the sierra. we're looking at a pretty good soaking and some of the runs of the computer model. this is one model. it shows the possibility of 0.3 around san jose and then up to 0.5 for the north bay where it rains a little bit longer. a look at the weekend forecast. highs in the 60s in san francisco on friday and then look at how it goes down into the weekend with the clouds and rain on sunday. how is it looking on the roads now, anthony? >> things are looking pretty good.

we had an earlier stall blocking the off ramp. but it is the opposite flow of all the rest of the main flow of traffic. you can see that is where 80 eastbound is moving, but 80 westbound, i should say, 80 eastbound is where we have the stall getting on to 3th. so, again the opposite flow of the main flow of traffic. switching it over and showing what is happening at the bay bridge toll plaza. metering lights on for 30 minutes now. parking lot getting into san francisco and switch over to the maps, show you what we were talking about earlier. again, opposite flow of traffic across parts of the altamont pass and no problems here, wide-open lanes. back over to you guys. >> thank you very much. a livermore veteran is being called a hero for saving a dog. >> this picture here on the left and her sister, lacy, on the right. the two were driving in livermore when they saw a home on fire. the sisters got out to make sure no one was trapped inside first and then when destiny went around the back she noticed the

pet pug was still inside. she went in through the sliding glass door and grabbed the dog and got safely. destiny was a marine sergeant and also the rescuer of that dog. >> to the delight of the family. coming up, a tragedy that could have actually been avoided. the disturbing new details coming out on the deadly usair strike on a doctors without borders hospital in afghanistan.

>> warm up nicely today. as we start out heading out the door now, you need to bundle up. look at these temperatures in the low 40s in the south bay and patchy frost possible there and also for the north bay where we had reports of some low visibility and some spots with temperatures in the low 30s. highs today in the mid to upper 60s. beautiful into the afternoon. and we do have some changes in time for the weekend. i'll detail that coming up in a few minutes, but let's see how things are rolling now with anthony. >> hey, good morning to you. things are moving pretty good this morning. major concerns, which are good news. things are picking up and coming through dublin. 580 westbound and you can see traffic starting to build here. no major concerns and switching over to the map. you can see what i'm talking about. the green tick marks have gone over to the yellow and green tick marks. same deal for hayward 880 into fremont, as well. across parts of the south bay, things moving pretty good and an earlier accident on 680 northbound and that's keeping things slow there. of course, 101 always s
