still gusty today, but winds relaxing tomorrow. and our temperatures starting to go up, so, i'll detail all of that. now, let's see how it looks at the bay bridge toll plaza with mike. >> we'll take a live look. little backup on either side of the bay either side of the fastrak lanes. the other sides have eased up. look at that, folks are moving over and you see the final lane open for business. back across the map, we're looking at a smooth drive across the bay, as well. as we look at the map, we'll see traffic moves smoothly over the span and pretty much any other bridge right now. pretty windy overnight. you may have some gusts catch you and be prepared and some wind related to a power line. the red line on the b.a.r.t. map and north berkeley and the trains were stopped for a short period of time and trains are back in service and a minor delay just over ten minutes for the red line there. the rest of them moving smoothly and the roadways no major incidents. it is 5:09.

no indication the weapons are terrorism threats.ind of >> criminally looking into it, we have some evidence response, resources on scene as investigative capability. >> the fbi is not revealing what type or how many weapons were stolen. now to an investigative unit exclusive. the cases shocked our community. three different shootings this summer where the gun involved had been stolen, including the case who was killed on pier 14 in san francisco. tonight our investigative team uncovers just how many guns are stolen in the bay area and across the country. and for the first time, we dig up the number of guns stolen from local police officers that then end up in the hands of criminals. >> firearms are highly sought after and there are rings that we have worked and continue to work that specifically are looking for firearms. and specifically targeting houses or persons because they believe that they are firearms
5:14 am

5:15 am
disaster big enough to set off the alarm. i mean, it's not automated. someone in menlo park has to make that call. facebook came under criticism lebanon. there was a terror strike there, too, but the safety check was not used there and you will find less mention of it in the news. about half as many people died in beirut and perhaps that means there is some kind of criteria for our attention. see how wall street is reacting. the first time investigators can weigh in since the attacks. for that and the rest of the news before the bell. we turn to landon dowdy at cnbc world headquarters. good morning. >> hey, scott. that's exactly right. wall street will get the first chance to react to the paris attacks today, which happens after the close of trading on friday. and investors may move into so-called safe haven assets, such as treasury bonds and gold. wall street is already dealing with several headwinds including a climbing interest rate hike from the fed.
