they got that off of the roadway and now recovery for that one section. the upper east shore also am had slowing from a couple spinouts and that mist, the drizzle and the light rain. that is an issue for folks because sometimes we're not as cautious when it's lighter rain. be out there, folks and be careful. lower the speeds even though the traffic is light right now throughout the bay. kari showed the rain coming down and south bay not an issue. spinouts and traction, that is a concern. back to you. >> mike, now we have breakings to tell you about out of the east bay. a shooting outside of a nightclub in san leandro injures four people. this happened just before 2:00 this morning at a popular night spot called club caliente. police don't have any information for us right now, but they are interviewing witnesses. not clear if there was some sort of fight inside the club and then moved outside. 14th street and 146th avenue. those injuries are said to be nonlife threatening. a holiday trip turned tragic. three children and their parents alled when their small plane

faa are going in by foot to the wreckage. the national weather service says there was rain in the area at the time of the crash. chuck coppola, "today in the bay." >> chuck, thank you very much. now to a developing story out of las vegas where just hours ago authorities there announced the woman who drove her car, you see the crime scene tape here into the strip into a big crowd of people. she did it twice. they're saying she did it on purpose, but why? we still don't have the answer to that question. las vegas police say the driver who had a 3-year-old child, by the way, in her car at the time intentionally swerved on to the sidewalk near the paris hotel and casino running over people along the way. it hand about 6:30 last night. she then backed out on to the street before driving back on again to the. at least one person was killed. 37 more injured. some of them critically. the driver took off, but police caught up with her a few blocks away. witnesses say that scene was horrific. so horrific they thought it was part of a movie shoot.

>> suddenly saw people fly in the air. but because the car hit them and it was like a bowling ball hitting pins. >> i wasn't thinking about anything else other than to help those people. >> the driver is now in jail. she underwent blood tests for drugs and for alcohol. the child in the car with her wasn't injured. while police are calling it intention el, they say it was not an act of terrorism. we'll have a live report from las vegas where the scene is still very active this morning. that is coming up in our next half hour. kira? we may learn more today, sam, about a mysterious death over the weekend inside a cal frat house. someone called early saturday morning to report a 22-year-old young man unresponsive inside the house on channing way in berkeley. friday was the last day of the suer and police don't know if frat members were having a party there, but they do say a lot of students had already left campus for winter break. investigators say the man found dead was not a current student

at cal. right now his death is only being called suspicious. police plan to update the investigation some time today. a richmond neighborhood evacuated after a possible explosive device was found inside a home and now we're lurbing it may have been intended to target muslims. it wasevacuated while the bomb squad detonated the device. officers say the initial investigation, though, actually started back on thursday. that is when police got a tip about a man who said he wanted to harm muslims and may have some sort of explosive at his home. while detectives then followed up and they found what they're calling a suspicious device. the bomb squad was then called in. >> i just everybody back and they just sat down. and i said, i put in a box and put it in the car. >> it was like a little pop. and that was basically it. >> well, after those witnesses heard and saw that, police let everyone back into their homes.

no one was hurt. police did, however, arrest the 55-year-old man inside that home. no word yet on the charges he faces. 6:06 right now. new surveillance pictures tashow you this morning of a scary-looking crime scene in the north bay. to show a man and get away car in sonoma county investigators say he tried to break into a number of apartments along beverly drive. eventually forcing his way inside one of them. that's where police say that man got into a bedroom where a woman was sleeping at the time and she woke up when he apparently tried to look under her bed sheet. police say she rhe ran out when screamed. help california pay for the massive valley fire. feds say they'll pitch in $39 million. you'll remember that fire, the valley fire burned more than 76,000 acres in napa and sonoma counties back in september and october. four people died and more than 1,000 homes destroyed. four firefighters were also injured. the area burned so massive that crews are still only halfway

through that cleanup. well, because of all this wet weather we're seeing, bay area leaders this morning will press people to be prepared for the worst. contra costa county will make an announcement on storm preparations at 11:00 this morning. john joyous says an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so, he'll head up a demonstration with the county's public works department. they'll show the best way to protect your property from flooding with sandbags. one of the places they're making them available is the jail's south parking lot on giant highway in richmond. >> good to see folks looking ahead, but now here in the short term this's storm already causing trouble for travelers trying to get out of town for the holidays. a live look right now at a very wet golden gate bridge this morning. yesterday the consistent rain made it tough for drivers in san francisco where the roads there were just covered with standing water. spinouts and crashes and that is

not the only thing slowing down drivers. >> washing down on theway due to the rain because it's been so dry, we have a lot of debris on the hillside. >> and a lot of water still out there. the chp wants to remind people to drive cautiously this holiday season as the wet weather continues well into the week. yeah, this week people are working. people are headed out of town to go see family. let's check in with kari hall and see what it will be like as we head out on this monday. >> and a lot of problems from sfo because a look at all the travel delays and the only place in the entire country that has major delays right now because of the rain. even though as you head out farther to the east, there are some showers and the large cold front moving across the midpart of the country. that not causing any problems there. so, you may want to call ahead if you're traveling out of san francisco. and we are tracking still some light, spotty showers that will be with us all throughout the day. and some chilly temperatures and let's get a closer look at the north bay now. just south of santa rosa heading

towards petaluma. we do have some rain falling there on 101. and into the day, more of with another round of heavy rain moving into the north bay by 11:00 this morning. and then that continues to roll to the south. maybe later on this evening. the south bay can actually start to rack up more rain. i'll detail and what to expect as we head into christmas week. that's coming up in a few minutes. let's see how the roads are moving now with mike. >> kar, overall the roads are moving well. you showed that delay. two hours at sfo. likely due to weather. this is in emoryville. the rooftop camera shows stream of cars and we lose sight of xwi anything in the vicinity. there's the slow. let's look at your map. aside from a couple crashes that happened early, it slowed all the way down to the berkeley curve and coming off of 580, as well. an incident reported that treasure island off ramp there. that causes them taslow down and the metering lights and

everybody down on the approach and ease up on the metering lights and should see some recovery over the course the morning because traffic overall through the rest of the bay, moving well. ing for 580 in towards livermore and the south bay is completely clear. watch the lower the speeds because of slick conditions and look at san mateo bridge and westbound just starting to pick up the volume and chp cruiser hanging out by the toll plaza. looks like just pulled somebody over. back to you. >> mike, thanks. happening today, pair crews shutting down the busy westbound the closure between fair ranch road and freddy street. westbound traffic will be detoured on to smith street and union city boulevard. the work is in the same area as this sinkhole last month. crews will shut down westbound starting about 8:00 this morning. it should be back open by 5:00 tonight. coming up next, if you get this for christmas and you don't do something, you're going to

welcome back at 6:14. happening today, if you get a drone for christmas, you're going to have to register it before you fly it. today the faa is officially launching a website for people to register their drones. this applies to new drones and ones that have been in the sky for years, as well. owners will have to list a name, physical address and an e-mail address so that the agency can track down the pilots of that device. if it crashes or flies into restricted air space. drones must be registered by february 19th and the $5 fee will be waved for next few weeks. uth christmas presents from drones to hoverboards. pulling the popular gadget from store shelves. this morning target the latest company to make that move.

hoverboards coming under fire after catching on fire. you are looking at a viral video showing one hoverboard bursting into flames. amazon pulled the item from its inventory last week because of safety concerns. one of the most recent fires happened here at home in brentwood. a family plugged in their hoverboard to charge it when it burst into flames. almost caused the house to catch fire but the culprit the kind of battery inside those devices which have been known to self-ignite. more fallout for the pharmacy ceo many consider ruthless for the jacking up of cancer drug. the price of that cancer drug and connected to aids, as well. federal agents last week arrested martin shkreli now accused of security fraud in a ponzi scheme that sold millions of dollars. he may be better known for raising the price of a life-saving drug by 5,000% last september. you may have heard two labs have

now aed that they will suspend a drug trial sponsored by his company. winter officially starts tonight if you're not already feeling frosty. but you would be hard-pressed to find evidence of that back east. last year many of the country sought record snowfall but people were out on long island over the weekend golfing. boston may have set a record for its warmest december on record. there are few complaints about that, except that is if you rely on selling cold weather gear. >> hat and some cozy gloves and i'm like, well, i don't think that is going to work this year. >> ski resorts like this one in the massachusetts berkshire mountains are among those worrying that profits could be melting away and all that warmth. >> i have family visiting from minnesota and texas and we have colder weather here than they have there. >> that's selling point. >> right. i think they're going to recoming. well, maybe if i take them to see this, they won't regret

it. a pup that is drawing a crowd melting hearts in monterey and it has a lot of competition inside monterey bay aquarium, but getting a lot of the attention. >> we know who the clear winner is here. workers say that a wild otter pup yesterday morning gave birth to her pups in the aquarium's open ocean tide pool. everyone could see it out there. no guarantee how long the pup is going to stay there, if you head down to monterey. but as you can see, was drawing quite a crowd. that pup is still so young, the staff doesn't even know what its gender is just that it's a giant pile of fluff. whatever the case, it isly becoming the center of attention. >> so cute and so love and so, it's just so, it's so good. >> what do you even say inyou're at a loss for words. mom's priority right now is puffing up the puff's fur so it can float in the water and not

sink. that pup may have a future in television because it has great hair. >> comparable to mike inouye's volume. >> i think we should name it force awakening maybe georgette if it's a girl. >> that's a great idea. >> deejay. >> winner and still champion. >> we're all winners right now because we're getting rain to start off our week, again. >> so great to see this rain, but i know a lot of people are like, it's travel time. you're trying to catch a flight and there's over 2 1/2 hour delay going on at sfo. i know, it causes problems but we really do need it. and it's all a part of this pattern that brings cool and wet weather to the west coast and warmer and dry weather to the east coast. and we're still seeing these systems rolling in. scattered rain. here's a look at the futurecast. more of that as we go through

10:30 this morning for the north bay. we see the yellows and the reds and that indicates a heavy downpour. and there may be gust winds in there, too. san francisco and oakland and also for the delta and then for the farther south. we are going to see that rain moving in during the evening commute. will still see this rain pouring overnight and into the start of the day tomorrow, but it looks like tomorrow afternoon a lot of this starts to dry out as we get ready for another system to move in on wednesday. another look at all the major weather climates. no major shift in the weather temperatures. mid up to 50rs from the coast to inland areas and antioch up to 54 degrees while fairfield is at 57. a look at the additional rainfall totals we may see in san jose, most of that coming in tonight. we may have over an 1.5 and santa rosa 1.5 inches and an additional 4 inches of rain and that's just with this next

systeming in. in the sierra a lot of snow will be falling and this is great for those ski resorts. over 2 feet of snow in twin bridges and heavenly close to a foot of snow and that will be falling all throughout the week if you're packing to go to the sier sierra, be prepared for bitterly cold temperatures by the end of the week. the strongest cold front move through on christmas day and that will drop the lows there to about 2 degrees. here in the bay area, once again, rain off and on all throughout the week. wednesday we take a break at times and then on christmas eve, there will be more rain moving in and that will be the coldest rain that may drop some snow on mt. hamilton. we'll keep you up to date on that. let's check to see what's happening on the roadways now with mike. >> kari, a bay area white christmas. that's great. on the top of mt. hamilton. looking towards san rafael and the top of many of our maps. i pushed our map a little higher. pleasant drive and let's look at your map and petaluma north of there. north 101 countercommute where

there is a crash blocking all of your freeway right now. just koppel lanes available up there and unavailable, i should say. southbound the commute direction is deed by all this activety, as well. the east shore freeway still slow down towards the berkeley curve and earlier crash on the bay bridge itself causes the backup at the toll plaza itself. the rest of the bay moves well, including the maze on the approach and see things smooth out through berkeley. plan for that for the slowest drive for the bay. green blotches, damp, wet roadways let's just say that. bay bridge toll plaza just to show you the conditions and end with this shot, you xguys wet roadways and the traction of your car. a lot of spinouts in this area and things are calmer as far as weather wise right now. look for wet roadways to continue. >> definitely slowing things down a bit, mike. the frontrunner for the most awkward live television of all of 2015 and just happened last night. the major mistake while crowning

the new miss universe that has everyone talking this morning. >> sounds like you have your vote in. deja vu at levi stadium. how fans vented their frustration during yesterday's game. disappointed and angry 49ers

fans - onc at 6:24. disappointed and angry 49er fans, once again, took to the skies to voice their frustration. take a look at this for the second straight home game, a

banner flew above levi stadium. this one says, hold jed accountable. the team's ceo told fans to hold him accountable when the team parted ways with former head coach jim harbaugh this off season. the 49ers are now 4-10 after losing to the bengals, 24-14. so, kira, a lot of people are holding steve harvey accountable this morning. now to what might be considered the biggest slip up of the year on live television. comedian steve harvey miscrowned miss universe. >> colombia. >> i have to apologize. the first runner up is colombia. >> that would be pretty crushing. there the host there made a major mistake as you saw steve harvey misread the card. it apparently clearly stated miss philippines won and that miss colombia was first runner up but he mixed the two up. to make matters worse, harvey

sent out a tweet apologizing and he misspelled philippines and colombia. that might be harder to forgive. social media had a field day on pretty much all parts of that. >> i tweeted, could it have been at the end of mean girls when they broke the crown and shared it with everyone. >> only fair. maybe for next year's botched miss universe we'll do that. >> someone tweeted me back. if oprah hosted you get a crown and you get a crown and you get a crown. >> because that's how she rolls. >> yeah, exactly. coming up, we have an update to breaking news. police cars, crime scene tape surround an east bay nightclub. authorities comb for clues in a shooting that sent four people to the hospital early this morning. and chaos and carnage on the las vegas strip as a woman drives her car through a crowd of people on the. then backs out and does it, again. now, police say that this was no accident. disturbing details next in a live report.

come on in pop pop.

happy birthday. i just had a heart attack... and now i have a choice. for her. for them. and him. a choice to take brilinta. a prescription for people who've been hospitalized for a heart attack. i take brilinta with a baby aspirin ...no more than 100 mg. as it affects how well it works. it's such an important thing to do to help protect against another heart attack. brilinta worked better than plavix. and even reduced the chances of dying from another one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to doctor. since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers. a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. tell your doctor about bleeding,

new or unexpected shortness of breath, any planned surgery and all medicines you take. i will take brilinta today. tomorrow. and every day for as long as my doctor tells me. don't miss a day of brilinta. klapper... laura garcia-cannon is off this good morning to you and thanks for so much for joining us. i'm kira klapper. laura garcia-cannon is off this morning. >> i'm sam brock. a very rainy start to your morning. starting to feel like deja vu. meteorologist cari hall joining us with your forecast. >> rain off and on and into the start of the day tomorrow. we look at the radar and scattered light showers that

the crashes all cleared and spinouts in this whole vicinity for the course of the morning. top of your screen the crash at pepper road and through petaluma and that causes a distraction for the southbound commute and that is an issue, as well. move south of the coliseum, slowing through hayward through the san mateo bridge and everything south of there is just fine. west 2 picking up the volume and still slowing the pace a bit across the flat section. back tayou. . >> mike, thanks. breaking news out of the east bay. a shooting outside a nightclub in san leandro injured four people happened at club caliente. at 14th street and 146th avenue. police are interviewing witnesses and not releasing any information on the shooter just yet. it's not clear if there was some sort of fight inside the nightclub that may have moved outside. but we do know the injuries are said to be nonlife threatening. 6:31 right now. what was supposed to be a short journey to a holiday celebration took a deadly and a tragic turn

tragedies don't occur, again. >> the wreckage was found in an almond orchard ten miles south of bakersfield. the aircraft built in 1978 the investigators are going in by foot to the wreckage. coroners expect to formally identify the victims in the next couple of days. chuck coppola, "today in the bay." 6:33 right now this morning oakland police are trying to unravel a couple of shootings. one of which left a teenager dead. that shooting happened just before 2:00 yesterday afternoon on mandela parkway near street. the teen died at the hospital. police tell us the two shooters ran away. just about an hour earlier and just blocks away, three people were shot under the interstate 880 approach to the bay bridge. that shooter and a car got away, too. police can't say if both of those shootings are related. search now, kira, alameda county sheriff deputies are looking for a gunman who killed a man right in the middle of a street. happened in hayward overnight on

at least nine cops sent a string of bigoted texts which first surfaced back in 2012 but only became public earlier this year. that's when police chief thought to have those officers fired. the judge on friday cited the statute of limitations when he ruled they should actually keep their jobs. it is 6:38 right now. and we're going to send it over to kari hall who has information on the weather, of course. also flight delays and what's so ridiculous looking is that there are no delays on the east coast. >> i know. >> but here on the west coast. >> look at san francisco. 2 1/2 hour delay coming out of sfo. so, if you have a flight you want to call ahead. it's all because of this rain and wind. and, yeah, there is another storm system moving through chicago, extending on towards tennessee and mississippi right now. and there are no delays there. some rain moving through the bay area and we'll see it getting heavier as we go through the morning. additional rainfall racking up and it looks like it doesn't

andmore. smooth flow of traffic and your patterns are what you would expect. a lighter flow of traffic and slow getting on to the san mateo bridge. san jose a little blip right here at 680. that will kick in later this morning starting later in the commute and here the east shore freeway your slowest drive. recovering slowly as we look at the camera from emoryville and slows right there at the berkeley curve itself. a number of crashes and issue on the bridge earlier has things tied up and the weather is cleared a little bit. still slip out there and use caution because we've seen a number of spinouts right over this stretch throughout the morning. back to you. >> thanks, mike. from the roads to gas prices. gas prices around the nation are inching lower, getting closer to the magical $2 per gallon mark, can you believe it, over the past two weeks. the cost for a gallon of gas nationally is down about a nickel to $2.06. well, of course, it's a different story in the bay area. aaa reports the price per gallon average is slightly lower,

though, over the past month. it's still up, though, over the past week, if that makes sense to you. the lowest average is in oakland at $2.55. san francisco's running just about 10 cents higher per gallon. >> $2.76 in san francisco. 205 for the rest of the country. that doesn't seem very fair. >> still better than we've seen. >> below $3. coming up next, a war of words between donald trump and hillary clinton. why the republican frontrunner is calling her "a liar." ♪
