an officer-involved shooting. we do believe one person was shot and killed. as i mentioned that the coroner is on the way. what is not clear whether the police shot this person or if this person shot himself. we do expect a sergeant or lieutenant to update us soon on the circumstances surrounding this shooting. again, a lot of police activity. one officer telling us this morning that they are expecting a lot of the police department to be showing up here more officers will be showing up here soon as the shift changes. again, i just bring that up to give you a sense of how serious the livermore police department is taking this shooting and the magnitude of what happened here. bob redelll "today in the bay." now to more breaking news and a building destroyed and two people sent to the hospital all of it after a driver was speeding off the roadway, flew off the interstate and slammed into a building. >> he was flying on 680 at first. it all happened off of boulevard circle in walnut creek.

integrity. for first responders to go in they cut off the doors and got those two people out who suffered major injuries. this morning we spoke with the owner of the building who was woken up by that call in the middle of the night and said it was lucky this did not happen hours later. >> during the daytime there would have been cared parked in this area and people in the building, fortunately, none of that was occurring. >> here's the video of the bmw on the tow truck completely smashed. you can't even tell what is the front or the back until you study it. no pursuit of the bmw on the highway on the crash so it is unclear what led up to this. police got the call around 11:50 last night. crews will shore up the building and put in temporary beams. three units have been red tagged. no power, no gas. this is an office building to architects, hair dressers, of course that yoga studio. no one will be coming here

dropping some sprinkles, but not a heavy downpour by any stretch of the imagination. we'll see this all throughout the morning, once again, with breezy winds. tomorrow we'll also have some times of showers and mainly right rain, once again. but a stronger storm system will arrive on saturday and especially during the evening that could bring in some heavy rain and some strong winds. i'll talk more about this and what to expect over the next several days with more weather systems moving in. that's coming up in a few minutes but let's head to the tri-valley now with mike. >> kari, we saw the rain travel through this camera shot for a few seconds. really just about 30 seconds of any activity and then damp roadways right now. we'll see that build as we look at your map and you saw the live camera. no slowing at the dublin interchange and out of the altamont over towards greenville. green highlighted here on the hayward area and over on the peninsula down over towards the south bay where that rain has traveled over, again. light rain now moving into the san francisco area. wet roads coming off of that bay

san francisco bay area, but, of course, nobody can afford to live here on a low-wage job. a problem we'll take a closer look at coming up at 6:15. >> scott, go back to the sports authority thing. we know two kinds of bankruptcies. maybe you already answered this and i wasn't paying attention. does this mean that we are going to lose those stores altogether like if people have gift cards or gift certificates. >> oh, that's a very good idea. spend your gift cards now. absolutely. spend them now. whether or not your local store is going to be closed or not. spend them now. they're going to close 140 and spin off another 200 probably to an outside company. i would spend your gift cards right now. >> well, you know, that big fund-raising company they stopped selling those gift cards some time ago. knew something was up. >> i remember shopping there as a kid. it is kind of sad to see the state of oaffair there's. thank you, scott. watch out for these popular

facebook quizzes. cybersecurity experts are calling them click based. in some case hackers might be using them to get your personal information. they'll use quizzes to disguise malicious links. they can even trick you into downloading malware. >> the more they know about you, the more ways they can trick you into doing something like clicking on a link, if you should not get one. >> i probably shouldn't take the quizzes any more. i mean, my computer phone might already be in damage of that. >> experts say that many hackers are looking for ways just to get into your bank account. they suggest staying away from quizzes and polls that ask to sign in or give your e-mail address. so, that, of course, is the big warning there. you don't need to answer any quizes to figure out what the weather forecast is going to be. >> but, we'll get to that in one second. >> we talk about things, we talked about sports authority

closing and baseball cards. they could be worth something. this next story can only be call grand slam. >> apparently it almost didn't happen. take a look at what we're talking about. seven identical baseball cards, part of what many consider to be the most rare series of cards ever printed. >> only 15 cards were known and in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and the anonymous family that discovered those cards. found them in a beat up paper bag inside the run down home of a deceased relative. lord knows how long they've been there for. experts authenticated the find yesterday. those cards in total to be worth more than $1 million. >> yeah. this is the smoking gun. imagine any of our players. >> the one player said, i don't like my cards being associated with tobacco because kids are going to collect these.

>> and bubble gum. >> still in good condition. you know how hard it is to maintain the quality of those cards. >> when you lose stuff in your hard, it doesn't get touched forever. >> it's preserved. >> so much stuff that is untouched. >> baby socks. teething rings. and then we'll have a great cleaning as we go into the next couple days. if you want to stay inside and knock the dust off some of that stuff. live look now san francisco and we have low clouds and mist and drizzle as you head out and that's a reminder to just grab the unl brella before you get the day started. the seven-day forecast coming up at the bottom of the screen and you'll see we have a chance of rain for the next several days. we start out with spotty, light showers this morning and we've seen that streaming in for the past several hours and nothing really too big here. it's just enough to make those roads wet and then it moves on. we've seen it mostly over parts of the peninsula moving over towards the east bay and not so much in the south bay. by 9:00, here's a look at the

rain timeline and we will start to see that moving in a little bit more. rain streaming in from west to east and then as we go into this afternoon, it breaks up and becomes a lot more spotty and mostly cloudy skies into this evening. temperatures will top out in the low to mid-60s today. we're bringing it down now that we do have a lot more cloud cover in the forecast and we will also have these cool temperatures continuing into the weekend. for tomorrow, we'll still have some spotty rain off and on and then it gets heavier as we go into friday night. so, that may affect your friday night plans. pretty much rain off and on with the heaviest of the rain moving in late saturday night and possibly some damaging winds and storms as we head into saturday night and early sunday. we'll be talking more about that, but let's get an update on the morning commute now from mike. >> kari, i get frustrated. we worry about visibility issues and not a problem right now. i just saw someone backing up right here at the hov lane at the toll plaza. if you get in the wrong lane

there, just travel through the toll plaza. if you need to explain something to anyone, call the chp or cal trans depending on the situation they'll listen and safety sake, don't back up in this traffic. we'll look over towards the maps and show you aside from the toll plaza, traffic flows very nicely approaching and the rest of the bay, no major. damp roadways but freeway 880 hasn't been a problem all morning. back to you. >> we'll keep tracking that. meantime, coming up next -- >> in this case, who dropped the ball? >> the wrong thing was installed to begin with. >> we investigate why the vta did not fix a mistake under a new b.a.r.t. station despite concerns about what could happen in the event of a major disaster. >> happening now, police are at the scene of a deadly shooting in downtown livermore. bob redell is there, as well. he tells us if the situation is contained but still a lot of unanswered questions and all or not this is a homicide.

edge. this happened in el cerito. police say last tuesday night a couple awoke to find flames coming under their car. a message with racist slurs also found on the front lawn. police are now asking any of the neighbors who might have surveillance cameras to come forward. >> one of the things we're looking for is to see if we can track how the suspect gut the scene of the crime. so, the more people that have footage, even if their footage doesn't show anything, it's still good for us to know that maybe a vehicle didn't pass by their house. >> police made a special appearance at the el cerito meeting to update the community on their investigation. so far no one is under arrest. and, now, to an investigative unit exclusive. the b.a.r.t. extension to san jose looks smooth but now we're learning about an underground mistake. >> this has to do with piping. vicky nguyen joining us with what she has uncovered.
