some investigators have said gang activity or feuds are suspected in at least some incidents. one east bay mayor showed and up weighed in. >> it's way too many that should not be happening. there seems to be an epidemic right now of people thinking they can pack their guns in their cars and drive by whenever they're unhappy with somebody and start firing. this is very disturbing. >> reporter: he says whether this might be tied to gang activity or perhaps some road rage, he believes elected officials should be working with law enforcement on this. again, investigators believe the victim was likely targeted and that the public is not in danger. westbound lanes are open but if you do drive by you'll notice that several of the freeway signs on the side of the road have been knocked down. just a to you hours ago a small plane crash landed in san jose about three hours ago.

"bay area proud." >> chuck says he fell in love with magic at the age of 5. seeing a street performer in london turn a single coin into many. he thought he had discovered a way to get rich. what he really discovered was a talent. though as you'll soon see, it's far from his only one. >> first thing i'm going to do is show you how magicians find your card. >> reporter: chuck tatis has been busy practicing these days. >> take a few cards -- >> reporter: he's got more than one big event planned this summer. >> if i have the ace here, where's the 9? >> reporter: there's the magic show he's putting together, one that will support his nonprofit, helping sick, hungry, and homeless children. >> oh, wow!

team. i want to go represent the u.s. >> chuck believes his two passions aren't as different as they may seem. mastery of either takes untold hours of practice. what's more, chuck is certain that doing one helps the other. making the olympic swim team would certainly bring attention to his nonprofit. and working with children in need, well, that provides an extra kick in the pool. >> and i think receiving that strength and energy back from them makes everything i do worth it. >> reporter: chuck it would seem is a magician with a little something extra up his sleeve. particularly when he isn't wearing it. chuck's specialty is the breast stroke. and while not a shoo-in to make the olympic team, he believes if he has a good day at the olympic trials, it is a goal well within reach. garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. >> that's amazing. >> his stories are always good

warmer for the work week. by noon tomorrow low to mid 60s and highs tomorrow close to 70 around morgan hill, san jose 68. san francisco mid 60s. and for the north bay areas north of santa rosa a slight chance might see a late day shower for the tri-valley you're looking at temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s. so mild temperatures to start the week. the warmest day likely will be monday. you see those numbers climbing up. low 70s for the north bay. tuesday a slight chance of seeing a shower but dry pretty much everywhere else. look at all the 70s out there. warm temperatures here as we finish off february for the extra day there on monday. as we move into march, finally some changes. that high which for the most part stayed around all throughout the month begins to weaken slightly. enough so that by the middle part of the week we begin to see some rain chances on the increase. thursday into saturday now look at the temperatures beginning to cool down. best chance for seeing rain for the entire bay area will come on thursday. then another system follows as we get into saturday and to

start the weekend. the good news about this pattern change midway through the next week is that that high is going to totally get out of the way by next weekend. finally a big pattern shift we think setting up toward the end of next week and into next weekend which also follows the seven-day rain outlook. finally measurable rain into the bay area for the second half of the week and the long-range outlook going from a drier than average outlook to one that writes an above-average chance of rain. good news. nice weather for the weekend. then that much-needed rain and sierra snow increasing the odds of seeing more of that later next week. >> february, a let-down. >> in terms of rain. we'll be right back.
