correct, laura and sam. what happened here last night in the hayward is the latest in the string of violent crimes. if you look at just the past two weeks, five people have been murdered within the city limits. then you have last night's shooting. fortunately police are telling us overnight that that victim is expected to survive. this happened around 11:45 last night. a man and his wife were walking down florida street near the intersection with dolphin lane. this a residential area not far from tennison. a man pulled a gun on the couple and demanded their cellphone. husband and wife complied but police tell us that for whatever reason the man still shot the husband one time. again, his injuries is nonlife threatening. the couple tells police the robber was tall and african-american. that he drove off in a candy apple red suv with gold rims. as i mentioned, it's been a violent summer for the city of hayward. this map we put to the shows the locations of the five homicides taken place over the past 14 days.

we're still awaiting an update from police about a fire that heavily damaged an oakland liquor store if happened about 9:00 last night. here's what we know so far. police say they got a call about an armed man throwing items inside the seminary market and liquors on seminary avenue near mills college. the caller then told police the same man set fire to the store. police didn't report any injuries but they're also giving no indication about whether the man got away or was arrested. in the south bay, cellphone video shows the moments after a truck crashed into a tattoo parlor and music studio in san jose just before 9:00 on west end carlos and lincoln. it stared a fire which spread to the roof. there was a music hall in that building. witnesses say ten bands were inside playing during that time and they couldn't even hear that crash. so a man we spoke with, he said he ran inside to alert them. >> we came out front to see if the car was on fire and if somebody needed help. when we realized it was a gas line, we were like, gets go get

employer cisco. >> all right. scott mcgrew, just did an initial report but talk of layoffs, big layoffs. >> big. we're kind of in a rough spot here, sam. i'm going to be honest with you. there's one report from a news agency that cisco could cut as many as one in five employees worldwide. that would be 14,000 people. the reports come from an industry news group called crn. they in turn are quoting anonymous sources. our sources at cisco aren't confirming anything. san jose -- cisco, rather, as you point out, san jose's largest private employer. now, we've been working the phone, working our sources. i talked to my colleagues at cnbc. they're quoting the same news report we are but we're working on getting better information. cisco does report its financials of a closing bell today so we can ask them hard questions there. cisco is pivoting like many other companies for making boxes, server, computers into a company to works as software as a service. you saw it ibm and hp and now

cisco. the markets started tuesday at record levels and then back down a bit. we get the minutes from the most recent fed meeting about 11:00 a.m. our time. ford brought a couple in morgan hill that makes the sensors you see on the top of this ford fusion. ford also says it's going to expand its palo alto research center already world class into a major center for autonomous cars. >> we're expanding our presence right here in silicon valley from that single research and innovation center building right across the way there to the creation of an entire campus. >> ford says it will have a fleet of self-driving car tons road in the bay area by 2021. that's cars you can use, not cars you can drive, cars you can use. no steering wheel. like uber, send me a car. interesting, carmakers are going to make fewer cars because you don't need a car when you can just order up a robot car to slide up in front of your house. >> wow. kit change buying, leasing, everything. >> manufacturing, everything.

>> interesting. >> plus, silicon valley becoming like you said the new detroit of car manufacturing. >> absolutely. >> thank you. are we centered in the world of art? what do you think? she's 55 feet tall and nude. and apparently already causing a bit of an uproar. even before she goes officially on display. this is a steel statue about to go up in san leandro part of an art exhibition on school campus. location is not sitting well with many people. the nude statue will be watching over the san leandro b.a.r.t. station. >> not to be here to let kids by and see that. that's not good. that's all pure naked. >> also spoke to other people who don't mind the artwork. now the artest of the statue tells us the bronze sculpture means bliss. the statue is expected to be complete by mid october. >> that is something. >> gentlemen? >> art, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. >> i'd wonner if there's going to be a pokemon stop. >> yeah. >> who knows what you will find there. >> all right. a beautiful thing to see

that we have nice weather to start for a lot of people, first day of school. >> right now seeing a cool start to the morning but depending on where you are it will still be soaring into the 90s later on this an. let's show you the temperatures we're waking up to. upper 50s to near 60. so cool whether there. take a closer look at san francisco or just half of the golden gate bridge this morning. misty skies there morning commute in the numbers in the 50s right now and around san mateo union as we go through the day today. comfortable temperatures in the 70s. so a light jacket will be just fine. live view at san jose. currently 60 degrees. clear skies out at evergreen today as we see evergreen school district getting under way again. numbers in the upper 80s as we move through the afternoon. so lots of low clouds around the inner east bay and parts of the tri-valley this morning. then hazy sun moving into the afternoon hours as we also have to watch as the winds begin to shift into the south bay later on for you're out door exercise plans, recess over the next

couple of afternoons. watch out for smoke coming up from morgan hill in the south as we head into thursday and friday. high temperatures today, mid 80s around downtown an jose. closer to 90 in morgan hill. mid 60s around san francisco for the north bay. highs in the upper 70s to mid 80s. pleasanton and livermore, soaring in mid 90s. san francisco comfortably cool. numbers in the mid 60s. you will see as we move through the weekend some relief from some of that heat as the highs begin to cool off in the 90s. few upper 80s in the forecast. one thing if you watch out to the sierra, increasing chans of thunder showers in the forecast. mike? >> rob, we're going to take you out to the roadways. looking at a typical pattern as far as the sensors go. san jose though because we do have slowing north 101 right by the airport. right there. but also look at this. 280 at ol. right at the connector. chp just got a report of a crash and a mile or so of backup be you you don't see it on the

sensors and we have a camera in the area. live camera doesn't yield anything unusual. i took a wide look. 880 coming up. here turning to 17 coming up to 880. there's 280 north toward us. no lanes blocked. but again, we'll track the chp reports because that is an issue and critical point for san jose. meanwhile, look toward the bay bridge toll plaza where the backup is here. the fastrak lanes. left approach looking light all of a sudden traffic flowing lightly in this portion. we'll track that flow as well. the golden gate we're seeing will fog affecting your view. rob showed you that. mist, drizzle, and maybe a wipe or two with the wipers but not a major concern. of course the schools coming back online around the south bay. may see a delayed commute the morning. back to you. it is 6:21. coming up next, consumer investigator chris chmura with more of your problems solved. >> today a short trip and a long fight for a refund. so nbc bay area responds. good morning from rio. coming up on a wednesday morning here along the beach we're going

illegally in the median of one busy san francisco traffic corridor. there's going to be no more praying for forgiveness. thast that's because they're getting relief thanks to san francisco's transit agency. a new pilot program approved last night is going to make it legal to park in the middle of deloris treat from 14th to 18th on sundays. the mta also approved more red curbs to improve visit and signs making clear exactly when that parking will be allowed. local faith leaders are applauding this decision. >> they want to be connected with san francisco and they want to feel that they're part of this community and their houses of worship give them that opportunity. >> there are three houses of worship at 16th and dolores. those changes will roll out within the next six months. mta agreed to roll back recently approved restrictions for drivers along mission between 14th and 30th streets. six months ago red bus only lane were a..ed to improve transit

there are fully staffed so now the teachers can just get back to action. they offered a 7% raise in an attempt to bring more teachers here to silicon valley. really the average salary for some of these teachers is about $50,000, $55,000 which makes it tough to live in the very expensive silicon valley. congratulations to the kids heading back to school and to the new teachers joining in the leadership at san jose unified schools. >> that 7% bonus makes a big difference. we see the sun is shining behind us, rob. we've mentioned a little foggy in parts of the bay area as well. what are you looking at? >> rights now we have a very nice start around the south bay. we've got that sun rise now over san jose with our temperatures currently in the 50s and 60s outside. eventually as we go through the day today numbers will climb around san jose. temperatures climbing into the low 80s later on and around the rest of the bay area, especially around the tri-valley you see that near 95 degrees between

dublin. south of downtown san jose. north bay will see the numbers soaring into the 80s as we look at napa valley unified school district numbers in the low 80s later on this afternoon. another hot start to the school year as you would expect for antioch unified today. highs today soaring into the mid 90s. but low clouds and misty skies can cause some issues for your morning commute around san francisco. but some other issues happening near san jose airport. mike? >> that's right. we are talking about perhaps the delayed commute this morning. san jose as you said also san mateo school districts there los gatos coming online. some moeks want to say later to see kids off for the first day of school. we do have issues going on here for 101. a number of crashes. trimble, cleared to the shoulder. slowing past the airport. 280, earlier crash reported there. around 880 and stevens creek getting to the valley may be an issue. on the peninsula we also have southbound 101 at marsh. reports of a crash there. we don't see a lot of slowing
