5:02 am
families are torn apart and they are now sharing their stories. >> reporter: yeah, that's true. kris and sam, you just mentioned a minute ago, a grieving community. i really think that's the best way to describe it. the people we've talked to since we've been here are still just in shock. they say it's a really quiet city, everybody really here knows each other. last night they all came together to remember those victims. 14 people killed in this shooting. 21 people injured. two events took place last night. one at the stadium here that attracted about 4,000 people and another one took place at the county's largest mosque. now, these somber events began just two hours after authorities released the names of those that were killed on wednesday at the inland regional center. the mayor of san bernardino spoke at last night's vigil. >> this tragedy will not paralyze us or keep us from going forward.
5:03 am
>> they didn't know that they were going to be striking the city of san bernardino. they didn't know that they were going to be in the toughest city in the empire. >> the inland empire. we've heard that a lot. people we spoke with said san bernardino has been through a lot and there's a lot of crying here. some people are struggling to find work. there's a distribution center that employ as lot of people. it was one of the businesses put on lockdown on wednesday when the shootings began. they say this is a tough punch in the gut. but that they will come back stronger and more solidified together as a community. back to you. >> incredible to just watch the resilience of people who have been through that kind of tragedy. peggy, thank you very much. as we learn more about the victims, we're getting a closer look at the horrific theme that played out inside of the inland regional center where the massacre took place. >> the first officer to arrive at the shooting is now
5:04 am
describing that surreal scene. >> it was unspeakable, the carnage that we were seeing, the number of people who were injured and, unfortunately, already dead. and the pure panic on the face of those individuals. >> the investigation continues right now. >> kris, police and federal agents are still sifting through evidence from syed farook and tashfeen malik's home. investigators found 12 pipe bombs and more than 4,000 rounds of ammunition. >> as we hear from farook's brother about a possible motive, good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning. syed farook, his brother-in-law says, was a good, religious person and was not radical. but the law enforcement believe
5:05 am
that he had been radicalized. he was in touch with people in the area who had jihadi views. from what we know so far, farook and his wife did not leave police behind any message indicating motive. they reportedly removed the hard drive from their computer and smashed their cell phones and did not say anything as they shot to death 14 people at a christmas party for the san bernardino health department employees. they did leave behind thousands of rounds of ammunition and 12 pipe bomb-type devices inside their redlands home leaving law enforcement and the president of the united states to wonder if they had plans for more attacks. >> we don't know at this point the extent of their plans. we do not know their motivations. >> it took days, weeks, if not months to plan out. there's nothing impulsive about
5:06 am
this shooting at all. >> the couple's four guns were purchased legally. farook did not have a criminal background. they fired, according to law enforcement, around 65 to 75 rounds during a massacre and about another 80 in their shootout with law enforcement. officers responded with close to 400 shots killing both the mother and father who earlier that morning left their 6-month-old child with the grandmother with no indication of what they were up to. sam, kris? >> bob, thank you. you talk about the stockpile of bullets there, the amount of ammunition found stored away at the suspects' house. once again, this ignites the debate over gun legislation in the u.s. president obama has already announced he's stepping up efforts on gun control. this coming as republicans in the senate are blocking attempts by democrats to push that kind of legislation through. they tried yesterday to add gun control provisions to budget legislation. the efforts failed after passionate speeches on the senate floor from both sides of
5:07 am
the aisle. >> weapons of war just don't belong on our streets and in our community. >> their loss is our loss, too. >> well, the president has been considering an executive order that would close the so-called gun show loophole which allows thousands of people every year to buy weapons at gun shows without background checks. unlike if you bought it at a retailer. stay with us for the latest on air and online on nbcbayarea.com. new information is always posted immediately onto our website and also on social media. happening today, the east bay is also looking at tighter gun control. oakland leaders will looking at proposing legislation to reduce gun violence in that city. stephanie chuang has more about whether it has a chance of passing. >> reporter: that remains to be seen but you can see how gun control is front and center
5:08 am
locally as well as nationally. oakland leaders now following in the steps of what san francisco has done. oakland now wanting to require residents to lock up their guns and ban high-capacity guns within their city limits. one, they want to make it illegal for anyone to have a large-capacity magazine. two, banning people from keeping a firearm in any home unless stored in a locked container or disabled with the trigger lock and, finally, requiring safe storage in a vehicle that has a concealed carry licenses. this has been a problem with the vehicle burglaries up and the aftermath of a woman shot at pier 14 involving a gun that was stolen by a federal agent's vehicle. they are trying to pass the first of its kind law in this state mandating any firearms in a vehicle must be locked in a trunk or stored in a lock box that's affixed to the vehicle.
5:09 am
if violated, it would be a misdemeanor with a possible $10,000 fine and up to half of a year behind bars and that may get its first vote in two weeks but that's the earliest. it could be next year. city issues are tackling this issue. at 10:00 this morning, two oakland city council members will be talking about that along with the police chief. stephanie chuang, "today in the bay". >> let's get a quick check of the forecast heading into the weekend. kari hall has been tracking more rain on the horizon. >> it looks good as we head into the next couple of days. we're seeing rain that moved through yesterday reducing snow in the sierras, still leftover sprinkles that you may see but for the most part we will be drying things out as we go into the day. a cool start also where we're in the low 40s now for most of us heading out the door and in some spots we have some clouds, like in san francisco. you'll see the clouds at least
5:10 am
until 8:00. we'll be at 52 degrees and then rising into the upper 50s by early afternoon. a few spots may get into the low 60s but in san francisco we stay in the 50s all day. more clouds moving in tonight. take a look ahead to the weekend coming up in a few minutes. but let's see if you're slowing down anywhere with mike. >> folks have to slow down if you're paying cash at the bay bridge toll plaza, 25. water was on the lens and looks like it's dried out over the last ten minutes. it's a nice, easy drive indicating damp roadways around that area. no major delays coming through this portion of the bay. the north bay has an easy flow. earlier slow for highway 24 has cleared. the crash off of 238 is now cleared, also. here's your south bay commute. northbound routes all up to speed. back to you. >> thank you, mike. coming up next, a fresh start for a parisian bar after last month's terror attack. how they are bouncing back from
5:11 am
5:13 am
5:14 am
reopened after the paris tragedy. it was one of four separate location where is a total of 130 people died. a sign out front reads in french, "it's time to find ourselves together again, united and to move forward and to never forget". well, we expect new details on how the lead singer for the stone temple pilots died. ♪ everybody run, bobby's got a gun ♪ >> his facebook page says that scott weiland passed away in his sleep while on a tour stop in bloomington, minnesota. he's admitted to heroin use in the past for years. he was born in san jose but his family moved to ohio a few years later. as a teenager, weiland moved to southern california where he formed the stone temple pilots. he was only 48 years old. what do you do when you find
5:15 am
yourself with one of the most amazing, generous donations ever? having to defend it. mark zuckerberg is trying to defend why he's giving away his money. >> well, people wonder, scott. >> well, they are critical he's not giving it to a traditional charity, a 501c3. to remind you, he and his wife plan to use 99% of their facebook holdings, which right now totals more than $40 billion to, make the world better. now, they are going to do that their own way by funding charities and sometimes commercial enterprises as they see fit. some people have been critical of that. others defend zuckerberg. he went back on facebook to defend himself. a man who says he wants to use $40 billion to make the world better explaining his actions. as one journalist explained, trying to defend zuckerberg's
5:16 am
approach, "just because you're tax-exempt doesn't make you charitable." to paraphase an old saying, you can help a man to fish or help with loan interest loans to the developing world. zuckerberg is doing more of the second thing. it's the best type of friday. jobs friday. the labor department tells us how many jobs were created in november eight unemployment rate may drop below 5%. we get that in 14 minutes. right now we are live at cnbc headquarters with landon dowdy. >> it's my favorite friday of the month and markets will try to right themselves after suffering the worst day in more than two months. stocks fell after the european central bank unveiled a smaller than expected stimulus package. here's what traders are saying to expect from that jobs report. it's expected to show that while hiring slowed last month, it's
5:17 am
not enough to keep feds from raising interest rates in a few weeks and 252 points to 477. the nasdaq down to 5037. guys, back over to you. >> landon, thank you. we'll bring you that jobs report before christmas, sam, the moment we get it. >> we will. thank you very much. let's look at san francisco. this morning you can catch a glimpse of the holiday train on 4th street. it will visit nine stations between san francisco and santa clara this weekend to provide holiday entertainment but also to collect toy donations for kids who may not get a gift otherwise during the holiday. >> donate and donate. we'll be talking about it. there are so many light displays, house light displays that have caught your interest? >> yes. we have. there's always one on the block that goes all out and you're just like, okay, that's cool.
5:18 am
>> as long as it's not on my lawn. >> if you're getting out there this weekend to put up some of the decorations, saturday will be the best day because sunday may be a little wet, once again. as we look outside, we're seeing clear skies in spots like san jose but we still have clouds lingering in san francisco. so drying out all across the bay area, a few leftover light sprinkles are happening in the north bay. as we go looking back at our rainfall totals from the past 24 hours, some of us really got a good soaking, especially in the north bay. where the drought has been the most intense and now we have been picking up on close to an inch in santa rosa, petaluma yesterday had half of an inch and then you head over farther to the south where the rainfall amounts were a lot less but still better than nothing. and now as we take a look at that system that brought us the rain is now producing snow over the sierra and then still some lingering light showers, once again, farther to the north.
5:19 am
so that will be passing. and you may still have some sprinkles starting off the day, all of that drying out this afternoon. and now we're in the low 40s but heading up into the upper 50s and lower 60s no matter where you are. pretty uniform temperatures and lower 60s for the north bay and santa rosa after seeing a chilly start to the day. heading into the weekend, yes, we'll have a dry saturday and some clouds early and then by sunday, let's stop it there. early in the morning we see another round of rain moving in. it looks like it's out of here by noon so shouldn't affect many of your weekend plans. next week, we may be tracking some more of that rain. so we may have the possibility of another tenth of an inch in the south bay. i'll detail that coming up. let's check in now with mike. >> kari, we're looking at leftovers here. a little puddling and damp roadway overnight after the rains from yesterday. but no problems for the flow of traffic, 101 through san rafael. yesterday we had a light flow of
5:20 am
traffic and should see even lighter flow. the potential for slick roadways. we had a car that went off the roadway north 101 and highway 37 but that might actually be a crash that happened earlier. nobody got injured, from what i understand. the rest of the bay, no problem on either side. peninsula and east bay all looking really good. even this area through the tri-valley. here's the southbound commute. back to you. >> thank you very much, mike. coming up next, fixing california's record drought, if that's possible. more rain and snow? not going to cut it. now an knbc bay area exclusive as we go to sacramento for answers. now to an investigative unit
5:23 am
exclusive: ==kris/2shot== el nino may be bringing record rains, but experts say and now to an investigative unit exclusive, el nino may be bringing record rains this winter but experts say california will still be in a drought next summer. it's an issue that affects everyone. >> it is a really serious issue. that's why stephen stock took the results of his four-month investigation to top officials in sacramento. >> good morning, guys. during our investigation we not only traveled to israel to see how they addressed the issue of water crises there but we also talked to experts, scientists and policy makers about the problem here. included among those experts,
5:24 am
former israeli president peres and the chairwoman alicia marcus of the water control board. all agree that solving this water crisis is not about more rain and snow about but using technology and innovation, some of which is already here in the silicon valley. they also say it's about changing california's historical attitude and policies governing water and water rights. in fact, the san francisco-based public policy institute is now calling on government leaders to reform the way that california handles water issues, including the oversight of water rights, the trading of water rights and the environmental use of water. chairwoman marcus told me she wants to continue to work within the current system to refine and change things. but she admits that in many places, california continues to rely on 19th century technology, rules and approaches for water. now, if you want to see more on all of this, we have the entire
5:25 am
series of our water crisis reports posted at a special web page. just go to survivingthedrought. it can be found at nbcbayarea.com. guys, back to you. >> steve, thank you. give us a call at 888-996-tips or send an e-mail to nbcbayarea.com. fishermen met with state officials in santa rosa yesterday and were not told when the crab season will reopen. some crabs are demonstrating high levels of a dangerous toxin produced by an algae bloom. test results need to come back two weeks in a row negative before the crab is deemed safe to eat. a community comes together in san bernardino for a candlelight vigil as the search for answers has many people lingering with questions.
5:26 am
5:28 am
5:29 am
as we were at a tree lighting. >> saturday will be the dry day and than a few showers on sunday. a couple spots has wet weather, especially in the north bay. but elsewhere, things are clearing out and it's cool and highs today are near 60 degrees, about average and also still some of the breezy winds staying with us into the afternoon. so i'll show you what to expect as we head into the weekend. that's coming up. let's see how the commute is moving with mike. >> things are moving very well around the bay. we have the toll plaza where traffic is starting to pile up and that's a typical pattern even on a friday around 5:30. we see no problems for the flow of traffic. the bright orange is where you have conditions that may cause fog from time to time. marin county, napa counties as well. northbound, it's out of the roadway and couldn't find a driver at the scene.
5:30 am
meanwhile, the approach towards the san mateo bridge and south bay are great. back to you. . ♪ god bless america >> remembering the lives lost in the tragic mass shooting in san bernardino. commu community members last night gathering as they try to build the strength to move forward. as for the victims, all 14 people killed have now been identified. the youngest is 26 years old. the oldest is 60 years old and they all died together on wednesday, shot at an office party allegedly by a co-worker. we have local reports this morning from the investigation to how the nation is reacting. we start with "today in the bay"'s peggy bunker. this is a time for family
5:31 am
members to heal, talking about their loved one? >> reporter: absolutely, kris. yesterday afternoon they released the name of all of the people that were killed at the inland regional center, known as the irc around here, while they were attending the holiday party. all of the losses here are tragic. as you start to learn the details about each of the victims, it becomes more tragic, if you learn about their loves, their lives, their families. one of those victims, his name is michael wetzel, a married father of six. his children ranges in age from a toddler to teenagers. their youngest child is together. michael's middle child renee said on facebook, "michael was my best friend and an incredible father and loved by all." an online blog set up by a blogging site called little mamas is out trying to raise money for the wetzel family. renee is a stay-at-home mom.
5:32 am
so many families say they are going to be in dire circumstances, considering the loss of some bread winners. there's a financial component as well when you think about having six children to look after. this family lives in lake arrowhead and, of course, they are very concerned about renee going forward. once again, the details now starting to come out about each and every victim. 14 of them and the details, of course, are just heartbreaking, kris. >> very sad. thank you, peggy. meantime, images from that tragic scene are framing the investigation that continues this morning. right now, authorities are still sifting through evidence to try and figure out how and specifically why this happened. "today in the bay" bob redell is tracking information. >> kris, law enforcement officials believe syed farook a had been radicalized.
5:33 am
they are still trying to figure out if farook and his wife tashfeen malik had plans for more attacks. officers found another 4500 rounds of ammunition at their home and 12 more pipe bob-like devices. it appears the couple tried to cover their tracks. the hard drive was removed and cell phone smashed. so far, no written message left behind. law enforcement is probing the couple's connection to people in the los angeles area who have jihadi views. lester holt spoke with farook's brother-in-law. >> was he a very political person? >> no, not at all. >> strongly religious person? >> he was a good, religious person, yep. just like anybody normal would be. but nothing -- nothing that i could see that he could do that. >> nothing that would fit the term radicalized, as we've heard? >> no, not that i can think. you know, not the person i know, he was not radical.
5:34 am
>> but farhed khan does call his brother-in-law a bad person for what he did allegedly this past wednesday morning. family members are angry at the couple for leaving behind the 6-month-old child. that couple fired 65 to 75 shots at san bernardino county employees during a work christmas party with guns purchased legally. 14 people died in that massacre. more than 21 were injured. 27 officers surrounded the couple later in that day and killed them after a barrage of almost 400 bullets. sam? >> a shocking amount of ammunition there. thank you very much, bob. with yet another violent act brings pain and anguish. the debate of gun control is moving back into washington. tracie potts is live and watching the political fallout unfold. it's a topic we keep revisiting with the same result. >> yes, sam.
5:35 am
before this happened, it seemed to be going nowhere and now that seems to be the case again. democrats tried to bring up a couple of measures in the senate to restrict gun sales to people on the terror watch list, to the mentally ill and to expand background checks to gun shows and internet sales. all of it failed. on the other side, you've got rand paul who tried to expand gun rights and gun laws here in washington, d.c., he wants concealed carry permits so that people can legally obtain guns, they legally have guns when there's an active shooter situation, they need to have quick access to those guns. that also failed. so it's not clear that this is going anywhere. also, a couple of republican senators, including ted cruz, are pressing homeland security to get immigration records on these two to find out if they ran afoul of any immigration laws before they were killed. >> this is a debate that's just going to continue here. tracie potts, live from d.c., thank you. stay with us for the very latest
5:36 am
on air and online at nbcbayarea.com. new information constantly being posted to our website and as the news changes, we're also putting it on our social media platforms. breaking news now, the latest jobs numbers came down within the last couple of minutes. we want to turn to business and tech reporter scott mcgrew. >> 211,000. how does that sound? 211,000 jobs added in the month of november. the unemployment rate stays at 5%. a couple of things to take away from this. number one, the 211 number is way bigger than we were expecting. so good news there. number two, they revised some of the older numbers, including the october number, to nearly 300,000 jobs added. so this is all very solid news. the only downside here is the fed is almost certainly going to raise interest rates in december. but this shows the american economy continuing to grow and, sam and kris, growing faster than we expected. >> that was holding steady at
5:37 am
5%. thank you, scott. happening today, oakland city leaders reveal details on newly proposed gun legislation in that city. stephanie chuang is live in san francisco with what the proposal entailed and what is potentially in store for the future of firearms. stephanie? >> reporter: sam, major bay area leaders tackling the issue of gun safety. city leaders want people to lock up their guns in both their homes and cars and vehicles. at 10:00 this morning, council members will announce three proposals, banning large capacity magazines, ten rounds or more, except any issued to law enforcement making it illegal unless stored with a trigger lock and requiring safe storage of firearms. they are trying to tighten gun
5:38 am
safety. the city is experiencing more vehicle burglars this year, which has put a spotlight on thieves stealing guns out of a car, also a big issue after a woman was killed in july at pier 14 after a gun was stolen from a federal agent's vehicle. this would ban firearms in vehicles unless locked in the trunk with disabled automatic release levers or stored in a lock box next to the vehicle. violators would possibly face $10,000 in fines and/or up to a half a year in jail. they will vote around december 15th or maybe early next year. live in our service newsroom, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay". a uc berkeley student is recovering after a homeless man attacked the student north of campus on monday morning. officers say the man hit the
5:39 am
woman from behind knocking her into a grassy area. >> he actually pinned her to the ground and she tried to yell for help and then he covered her mouth. i'm not going to get into too much specifics regarding the assault but there were indications that he was going to try to sexually assault her and he robbed her of her phone and identification and fled the area. >> it doesn't make me feel comfortable. personally, i'm okay with it, i don't feel threatened generally. but it's -- it's scary for everyone we know, all of the students. >> police arrested wilford allen. officers found him not far from where this happened with the young woman's belongings. allen will answer to a long list of felony charges later in court today. it's been a very long week. we made it to friday and heading into the weekend and we get a window of rain-free weather until maybe sunday? >> until sunday.
5:40 am
we need this. we see a little more rain moving through and a little more often, too. as we look at what is happening now, we have light sprinkles moving across parts of the north bay. elsewhere, the roads are starting to dry out and it's also chilly in the lower 40s for most of us and highs today a little more uniform, into the upper 50s to lower 60s. in san francisco, up to 58 degrees while napa is at 61. concord, 62. livermore, also at 62 degrees. heading in to the weekend, yes, we'll shake things up once again. i'll show you that coming up in a few minutes. we'll check in with mike to see what is happening in the tri-valley. kari, we'll take you to the dublin area at the b.a.r.t. station. there is a crash on the chp report and live camera. traffic is flowing pretty typical speed there. let's show you the map. we oent hanly have a little blit before the 680 interchange. you saw the flashing lights and

you see an easy dry coming out of the altamont. the rain will be light in the north bay. the rest of the bay not seeing any problems on the roads. we'll show you the bay bridge toll plaza where they turned the metering lights on at just about 5:30. you can see good movement and it's only to about the 680 overcrossing. back to you. >> thank you, mike. we've been talking about all the acrimony in washington. coming up next, stripping planned parenthood of funding. that's the bill making its way through congress and it could do just that.
5:44 am
the "boil water" order issued for parts of los altos is lifted coming up on a quarter to 6:00 on your friday morning, the boil water order findly lifted this morning in loss altos. the service is restored and the utility manager says tests all have come back saying that the water is okay to drink. those in the area of the advisory can get reimbursed for water purchased while that boil order was in place. if you ever bought organic food products and then found out
5:45 am
they were not properly labeled organic, you have a right to sue. it's a decision that revives one woman's lawsuit in which she claims one of the largest herb producers allegedly passes off some products that are organic even though they are grown with chemicals. trust violations and nonhygienic practices are causing kaiser foundation hospitals nearly $150,000 in fines. three employees were pricked by used needles. two needles due to the poor upkeep of the waste boxes. the first injury occurred back in 2013. the other two this year. employees had to reach inside to remove the needles. key pieces of the affordable care act heads to the house of representatives today. the senate narrowly passed that bill yesterday.
5:46 am
and besides cutting obamacare, it would eliminate federal funding of planned parenthood . republicans are also in control but face as certain veto when it gets to the president. republicans don't have the two-thirds majority needed to override the veto because some republicans fear that it could leave some women without health care. less tension, kris, over pension. later today, san jose city leaders will be announcing details on a deal reached with the remaining nine employee unions regarding retirement and pension and health plans. san jose is going to take the agreements to a judge and ask that measure b be invalidated. city council is expected to approve the terms of the agreement on december 15th. the american economy added 211,000 jobs last month, more than expected. >> and janet yellen is now

5:48 am
yesterday. by the way, they reduced the price of the latest camera. a security company calling precautions to the hello barbie app. you talk to it and it sends a question to the cloud and comes up for an answer for the barbie doll to say to the child. inter-connected toys have been under the microscope lately. there is a deal where you pay per mile rather than per month if you don't drive very much could save you money. it's the also company behind uber drivers. you can sign up. i'm not trying to sell you on insurance but there was an idea of pay for fee as opposed to paying a flat fee per month. what if your cable bill wasn't based on an entire bill per month but maybe on when you use it. >> that would be an interesting
5:49 am
concept. >> certainly more efficient but then you're being tracked every step of the way. >> yep. >> attaching that little device there. i'm not sure how crazy we are about that. well, let's look live at san francisco where you can catch a live glimpse of cal train holiday train that will be between san francisco and santa clara this weekend providing holiday entertainment and collect toy donations for kids who may not get a gift during the holidays. feeling generous and festive. >> i thought the snowman was going to lose the head for a second but everything is okay. >> i'm happy to report that the snowman is okay. the weekend is here and you have a forecast for us? >> it looks wet at times so you want to make sure to check in for updates on that. as you wake up this morning, you see the clouds overhead over san francisco. we're taking a live look now at
