11:00 last night. this is new video we received this morning. very active scene in the south bay right now. streets are closed, deputies combing the area, going to local businesses, by ground and by the air. thank you so much for joining us on this thanksgiving morning. let's get straight to what we know. >> officials say these two suspects, 33-year-old rogelio chavez, 26-year-old lanon desean campbell escaped from the main jail around 11:00 last night. there is a massive perimeter set up near the jail. officials say these were violent offenders. we'll check in with "today in the bay's" kris sanchez. she is one of a number of reporters we have on the ground. kris is at san pedro and heading. what's the latest? >> reporter: good morning, scott and laura. we heard damian trujillo talking just moments ago about the fact it is possible that these two suspects had help in getting away, out of the perimeter

before the ser pim ter was even set up. this is where we are. this is the main jail, the santa clara county main jail. you have law enforcement here. on the other side of this block, that's where the san jose police department is. highway 87 connects to 101. 880 is not too far from here. by my cameraman, a vta line on north first street. there were plenty of ways for these two men to get away and get away fast. we don't know if that happened. we do know that there is a perimeter here on north heading street, that 45 sheriff's deputies are on this manhunt right now. detectives have been called in special on this holiday and they're also looking at surveillance video from that vta line. also they called in for mutual aid from the san jose police department and the sunnyvale public safety department, that is their police department. here is what sergeant rich glennon of the santa clara county sheriff's department had

to say. >> we're asking for public assistance. this is an active search right now. we have santa clara county sheriff's office has 45 deputies involved in the search. we have our crime scene investigation team, detectives on seen, help from sunnyvale department of public safety. >> there's a long residential area along that side. is there anything those folks need to know? do you want them to shelter in place, stay locked down? >> we're asking for the community to definitely be aware and definitely, if they see something suspicious to call it in. san jose police department is patrolling those neighborhoods to maybe sure those residents are safe. >> reporter: freeway right there, 101 right there, 880 not too far, vta line. is it possible these suspects go out of the perimeter? >> we're exploring everything we can. we're reviewing vta footage. chp has been notified to be on

the lookout for anybody in the area as well as all the local agencies were made aware immediately of the escape. >> the report is they were able to cut through some bars. are you able to say how that managed happen? >> it's unthor investigation as to how the bars were cut. i can confirm the bars were cut and they repelled out of the window fashioning clothing and bed sheets to get to the ground. >> has anything like this ever happened to your knowledge? >> to my knowledge not recently, no. there's never been an escape from main jail south in this kind of fashion. >> which part of the jail are you talking about? >> it's the older section, constructed approximately in the 1950s and it's on the back side, on the back side of this building. >> is it possible these two men are armed if they have something that they were able to cut through -- >> we have no indication that

they are armed. we don't know exactly how they got through the bars. the desperate act of cutting through bars to escape from jail, they know they're being pursued. we want the public to take extreme caution and notify law enforcement. >> we saw the press release the charges they have against them. can you tell us anything else about them, where they're from, when these offenses were committed, when they were convicted? >> i don't have that information at this time. the charges that were listed are what they were held for. they have not been sentenced yet. >> are they convicted? >> no. they're awaiting. >> how dangerous are these men? >> i think anybody that is willing to escape from jail are probably desperate at this time. so definitely want the public to take precautions, not to try to apprehend them, but to notify law enforcement and bring them back. >> do you happen to know, did

they use clothing and everything to repel out, are they clothed currently? were they shirtless? anything like that that your officers know? >> we don't know that information at this time. unfortunately in that particular area there are no cameras. >> how far down did they repel? how far was it? >> they were housed on a second floor. so it would be two stories. >> from their own cell? >> it was from their cell, that's correct. >> how is it the other two were caught right away? >> they were caught just around the main jail complex. so there was correctional deputy that was on an exterior patrol. he saw some movement of someone in the shadow, and then looked up and saw the clothing hanging from the window and was able to apprehend two of the escapees. >> reporter: again, two of the four escapees were apprehended immediately. no doubt they are being

questioned by authorities right now about what they knew and what they know and where those two other inmates may have been headed. we don't know what their relation is, whether they knew each other before they were housed together. we do know they're on the run. perhaps they have separated at this point. they are considered dangerous. they're rather large men, over six feet tall, right around 200 pounds, each of them, and with a dangerous rap sheet. if you see them, law enforcement says do not contact them, call 911 and let the authorities do their job. we know deputies are doing a manhunt. there are patrol cars stationed all around this perimeter. we know canines are involved in the search as well. as we get more details from the sheriff's department, we will try to reveal those two you. at this point it seems like these two are on the run and making good headway in getting far away from the jail where they escaped. laura and scott. >> it will be interesting to see. on the other hand, we've heard

from damian trujillo who has been talking to someone from inside the jail who says they believe they could be very close there. i don't know where these guys are but they have been on the run for almost seven hours. >> almost seven hours. >> exactly. >> kris, it's interesting to note, this is the old section of the jail that was going to be decommissioned. there was talk about putting cameras in that area. there were no cameras that could have maybe helped. >> there were no cameras in this section of the jail because it is the old part of the jail. you might remember we have investigated the situation inside the jail. sheriff lori smith did buy cameras with her own money at costco and put them in one part of the jail where one inmate was beaten to death by correctional deputies. those cameras are not in this part of the jailment it's the part of the jail, the back section there. there were four inmates in that second story cell. all of them made it out, down

those bed sheets and clothes tied together so they could repel down to the ground. again, two of them were caught right away by an alert deputy who was on routine patrol, but no cameras will reveal exactly how this happened, how those inmates were able to get those bars across, get out from those bars on that second story. laura and scott? >> thank you very much, kris sanchez live at the scene. wet went on errorly this morning at 4:00 a.m. to bring you the latest developments of what is happening in our own back yard. nbc bay area online, we're tweeting new information and you can get our push alerts if you signed up for our app. >> we're less than one hour aye way from sheriff's deputies. meanwhile, you've got to get a start to your thanksgiving as well. let's check in with kari hall and your weather. >> happy thanksgiving. a lot of people will be hitting the roadways for an early morning drive to a family member's house. here is a look at emeryville right now. things are flowing smoothly.

it's 42 degrees. you can see kris in the live shot with a heavy coat and gloves. all that is needed. we have mid 30s, even lower 30s in the tri-valley right now. 33 degrees in livermore. so some frost may be developing in a couple of spots, too. in san jose, it's 41. 41 in palo alto and san francisco at 50 degrees. today's forecast will be a nice one. highs in the low 60s for the south bay peninsula and the tri-valley after that cold start, upper 50s in san francisco and the east bay and 61 degrees today in the north bay. over the next several days, we're getting ready for more rain. whether you'll be staying at home or traveling, it could be a little bit unsettled as this next weather system moves into the northwest. it brings us some rain late friday night into early saturday. sunday the rain will be moving out in san francisco. highs staying in the upper 50s, low 60s early next week.

there will be a chance of showers toward the end of your forecast next wednesday. in the meantime, we'll be keeping an eye on the low pressure system and the storm moving in by tomorrow. overall, a very nice thanksgiving day for the inland areas, low 60s, cold tonight with low to mid 40s, and rain likely starting late tomorrow night. so that should not impact those early morning shopping plans on friday. i guess late thursday night they start the black friday deals. >> you're right. people are already out. turkey trot going on in downtown san jose this month. it will go on despite the fact that sheriff's deputies and police are teaming up to look for two suspects who escaped from the county's main jail at about 1:00 late night. we have descriptions and we'll check in with bob redell who has backgrounds on these fudgives that they're searching for. it's all coming up in a live report. 6:10 right now. ♪ think of your fellow man.

>> we came on the errorly this morning starting the newscast on this thanksgiving morning at 4:00 in the morning. our reporters have been downtown surrounding the county jail including bob redell at glaud lupe and heading this morning. there's been police activity behind you as they're searching for the guys who have been on the run for seven hours. >> reporter: we can see the sun is starting to come up. we expect sunrise perhaps within the next hour. that's going to be advantageous for law enforcement. it will be hard for the two inmates to hide assuming they're still in the outdoors. we're on the western perimeter of the main jail complex up against highway 87. we know there were no video cameras that captured the actual escape. we've been talking about that section of the jail where they escaped from the second floor, it was being decommissioned, in void yes camera there. it's not clear if the inmates left wearing their orange tops

and gray bottoms. these are the two inmates still on the loose, this is courtesy of the santa clara county sheriff's office. on the right side of your screen, you'll see lanon desean campbell, 26 years old. he was booked into the jail in february of last year. he's been held on a number of charges. he's not been convicted. the channelings include robbery, false imprisonment, criminal threats and firearms violations. he is 6'4", weighs 220 pounds. on the left side of your screen, that is rogelio chavez. he's 33 years old. he's been in the santa clara county jail since august of this year, again held on a number of charges, not convictions, but charges including burglary, extortion, false imprisonment, resisting arrest, firearms violations. he's 6'1", 190 pounds. you'll see his left eye, he has a tattoo that runs from the top

to the bottom of his eye, also a letter b on the left side of his next. a sergeant said the fact these two men escaped means they're most likely desperate and dangerous. they don't know if they're armed. they don't want you to come into contact with them if you were to see them. live in san jose, bob redell "today in the bay." >> thank you, bob, our team coverage of these missing fugitives in san jose continues. we are continuing online and on tv. >> that's right. so they went missing last night a little after 11:00 from the county jail. close to there the turkey trot is actually going on today. heavy police presence in that area. there would be anyway. maybe a lot more alert eyes out there this morning. pete suratos has been live and joins us from downtown san jose. you talked to the event organizers. i know you reached them very early this morning. this turkey trot is going on despite the search for the fugitives. >> reporter: good morning, guys. i did speak with carl gordino,

the organizeorganizer. you see they are setting things up because this race is going to go as planned. you've got to road closed down. actually i want to point this way as well. we'll turn back there. you can see there is that pris presence that we were talking about. that was goings to be in place already. talking about 100 police officers for this specific race. they're expecting about 25,000 people to take part. right now we'll bring in carl. thank you very much for joining us. before we touch base on this race, obviously you have the escaped inmate situation that we've been falling all morning on "today in the bay." what can you tell folks coming down here for this race as far as security goes for this race? >> this would be the last place an escaped inmate would want to be this morning with more than 100 sworn officers on patrol already for our 12th annual silicon valley turkey trot, plus another 200 officers competing in our fastest

firefighter-quickest cop race. >> a lot of security in place. when something happens like this, does that kind of change things a little bit? it seems like you've got this secured already for racers coming down. >> the law enforcement personnel are used to handling every situation. again, they have told us we are safe and secure this morning, and we'll leave that in the hands of the professionals. >> i would be remiss to not touch on exactly the turkey trot, the beneficiaries, how much money are you looking to raise? >> if all goes to plan this year, we'll be giving nearly $1 million to help local families in need plus 50,000 pounds of food will be donated just this morning to second harvest food bank. 12-year total, $7.2 million to charity. >> carl, thank you very much. we know the first race is slated for 7:30 a.m. we should start seeing runners

show up in less than 40 or so minutes. it looks like this area is going to be secure and most importantly it looks like the race will still go on. back to you in the newsroom. >> a cold start to the morning. the racers better get moving out there. >> let's check in with kari hall. good morning. >> good morning. we have a couple of races in san francisco. so also a busy day, and chilly temperatures. this is our view now as we get ready for sunrise happening within the next 30 to 40 minutes, and now it's 50 degrees as we see clouds drifting by. it's ahead of the next storm system that will be moving in. heavy rain into seattle and portland. if you have family there or will be traveling there, a big storm system approaching and bringing in some very soggy weather. we will see that later on heading into late tomorrow night into saturday. so if you're traveling, you still have a ways to go. if you're going south from the grapevine -- on to grapevine,

it's all dry and 101 from sunnyvale to l.a. is also going to be dry. slick roads moving through tahoe, whether you're taking 50 or 80. it will be icy at times. make sure you have tire chains and once again that rain farther to the north, look how cold it is. it's 42 in oakland, 39 in concord and 38 degrees in morgan hill. so the heater on full blast or maybe you already have the oven on. we'll see some very chilly temperatures, but warming up to 61 degrees in the peninsula today. in the tri-valley 62 degrees. mostly sunny, upper 50s for the east bay in san francisco and the north bay topping out at 61 degrees. over the next several days, we are looking at some soggy weather once again for saturday, early sunday. the same for the inland areas. it doesn't really warm up again until next wednesday. scott and laura? >> thank you very much. cold start to our thanksgiving morning. a lot of people getting reld difficult for the holiday. >> now, as we go to break, we

want to show you the suspects one more time. we have continuing coverage of two men considered extremely dangerous on the loose in san jose. we'll continue to cover that when we come back. suspect photos.

toss to scott..

two inmates have escaped from the santa clara county jail, it happened about 11:00 last night. two were apprehended right outside the jail. 33-year-old rogelio chavez on your left, 6'1", 190 pounds, has the very distinct tattoo drawn on his left eye and lanon desean campbell, 6'4", 210 pounds. they don't know if they're armed. they do consider them dangerous. scott mcgrew joins us with a bird's eye view of the area where police have been searching along with sheriff's deputies. >> along with our own reporters standing by. we have four reporters in the south bay this morning. your expertise in the south bay. we've been covering it all morning. talking about the county jail here. you'll note if you drive up 87 towards the san jose airport as well. one of the issue is the guadalupe park along the river. there's a large homeless

encampment. it may be very difficult to find them in there. we're about a half hour away from sunlight. that will make a huge difference. there you see the turkey trot down over here. we've been told the turkey trot will continue on and it will go as normal. certainly security is very high. our damian trujillo has been talking with insiders who say they suspect the two suspects are still in the area of the jail itself because they've been caught inside that perimeter. they may be inside that perimeter, they haven't been caught you. we've been following this. we'll continue to follow it. meanwhile we have new video into the newsroom of the search this morning with canine units and automatic weapons. they've been searching some of the cars that may be parked near the jail, underneath them, inside, some of the houses as well and structures. the county building area is in

an essentially residential area, and the police and deputies there have said if you are in that area, stay in your homes, have the doors locked. they are patrolling the area and they will keep you safe. laura? >> both of the suspects were wearing their orange prison tops and gray pants when they left the jail. we don't know if they have changed. you can always find the very latest information right here on nbc bay area. join us online as well. we're updating our twitter and facebook feeds as well. you can also get our free nbc bay area app on your smart phone, android device or tablet. we'll be right back with developing news this morning. breaking news we're following, two violent fugitives on the run in the south bay. breaking news -- police are

searching for these two 6:29 on your thanksgiving morning. we have breaking news. police searching for two suspects. sheriff's deputies say these men escaped from the santa clara county jail, the main jail in san jose. >> it happened just a little bit after 11:00 last night. this is video of a very active scene in the south bay where streets are closed and deputies are going through businesses. they have canines out there. they have the helicopter flying above looking for these two suspects. originally four suspects got out of the main jail by repelling down a window, tieing sheets and clothing together after somehow cutting the bars up above. two of the suspects were apprehended on the ground, but

two remain on the run this morning. >> quite frankly, nobody knows the south bay quite the way we do. we have four reporters out there as police and sheriff's deputies continue to look for these men. reporter kris sanchez is standing by live. hats the latest? >> reporter: the very latest is still that those two inmates, violent inmates are still at large. we're not clear right now whether or not they are hunkered down and hoping for a chance to get out of the perimeter or whether they were able to breach that perimeter when this all started before the perimeter was even set up. they escaped from the old part of the main jail, that's the building behind this building here. it is the older part of the jail. it was built in the 1950s. it did not have cameras that were able to capture this escape. you did show us the map earlier of where we are here. this is the main jail. the police department is right

behind it, the sheriff's department is right behind the street. there's highway 87 down the street, the guadalupe parkway, a vta line about a block away. if they were able to make it out of the perimeter, then these two inmates, rogelio chavez and lanon desean campbell would have been able to get far and fast. there are 45 sheriff's deputies on this manhunt. we've seen the helicopter overhead, canine officers on the streets this morning. we know san jose police, they are assisting in this search this morning. also sunnyvale department of public safety helping this morning. we know detectives will be looking at slangs video from the vta line hoping to see if they are able to see anything this morning. as you mentioned, the sun is starting to come up. perhaps that will help. here is what the sergeant was able to tell us a little earlier this morning. >> we're exploring everything we can, reviewing vta footage.

chp has been notified to be on the lookout as well as all the local ath sees were made aware immediately of the escape. >> reporter: so we are live out here and we just saw a vta bus stopped here. we expect that these folks are being rerouted around the perimeter area. heading street is closed, but again, this bus is being rerouted, i think because of this perimeter, hopefully not because they are involved in this active search right now. this is a developing story. we'll stay on it for you. as soon as the sheriff's department is able to release information, new information, we will get that for you. in the meantime, if you spot the suspects in the south bay, do not come into contact with them. call 911 and let law enforcement take them into custody. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thank you, kris. >> want to check in with nbc bay area's damian trujillo who has been in close contact all morning long with insiders from

the santa clara county sheriff's department this morning. you've been gathering great information for us. what's the latest? >> reporter: been on the phone since 2:30 this morning. still waiting for an update from them. this is the main jail south, the old jail. there is a small walkway that separates the big -- i think it's a 12-story building, the main jail from this old jail cell. that's where this breakout happened. part of the jail is set to be demolished in the near future. i guess they decided it couldn't happen soon enough, that's why the inmates escaped. we should recall just a couple months ago there was an attempted escape at the elmwood jail, a minimum security facility in milpitas, also run by the sheriff's office. that inmate left his sandals dangling from the fengs as he tried to repel across the

security fencing and ultimately was captured. that was only a couple months ago. now we have this -- no doubt the sheriff's office has its hands full with the security systems there in the jail. a lot of questions that could be answered this morning. >> it continues. the woes for the santa clara county sheriff's department. you mentioned the elmwood attempt. and years ago others tried to escape buy tieing sheets together. >> reporter: i think that was four stories that a couple of inmates escaped, tieing those sheets together. they didn't get very far. that's the good news with the manhunt that we've had from the escapees at the santa clara county jail, is they have been captured. it's taking a little longer on this one. i'm sure all hands are on deck and they'll do their best to catch these guys. >> most definitely. it happened a little over seven

hours ago, but it happened in the dark of the night. it's tough. daylight hopefully will help in the search. >> damian trujillo is reporting live for us. we have reporters all over this area. we'll continue this kof j rah both on tv and online. in the meantime, we know you have a thanksgiving to get to, maybe literally get to, kari hall. she's going to check our traffic as we give mike the day off. >> that may mean getting out there on the roads. we've been watching to see what's going on. of course that perimeter is set up. here is the main jail where 87 is close to 880. 101 is just to the north. so just to give you a perspective of where that's happening, it's right near the airport. as of right now, the roads look like they're flowing smoothly, not a lot of people out as weave been looking around at the different cameras. also some closures near at&t park in san francisco. the thanksgiving day 5k will be happening there. there's been a minor accident just south of the san francisco

and 101. we have patchy fog in the north bay. that may slow you down going down 101 from petaluma through san anselmo. it looks like it does clear as you go through mill valley. a closer look at what's happening in san francisco, a minor crash. but it doesn't look to be impacting traffic at this point. looking now at the weather map, we're starting with clear skies over san jose, all clear and very chilly start. here is a look at emeryville and the roads that are flowing smoothly there. it's 42 degrees. the high today reaching to the upper 50s and lower 60s. if you're driving over to the east going through the sierra, i-80 and highway 50 will be slick at times. we've had some snow even though it's not snowing now. driving south from sunnyvale to l.a. and the pacific northwest dealing with some rain. as far as the flights, it looks like we don't have any major

delays all across the country even though farther to the east and northeast, there's rain and snowshowers. here, also dry weather looking good as far as the flights at this point if you have an early morning flight. look how cold it is right now in the tri-valley, in livermore, 33 degrees. 50 in san francisco, 35 in napa and santa rosa. a cool start to this thanksgiving day, but it will warm up into the low 60s, and 61 degrees expected today in the peninsula. 58 degrees in san francisco as well as the east bay, just a few clouds. north bay becoming mostly cloudy later this evening and low 60s. a closer look at napa, 37 degrees, dropping back to the mid 30s for a little while and warming up into the upper 50s. we don't have a big window of when we'll have dry weather. in fact, it starts to move right back into the north bay late tomorrow night and into the day on saturday, the rest of us seeing widespread rain.

maybe heavy at times. it wraps up early on sunday morning with scattered showers on sunday. san francisco reaching 58 degrees. a chilly weekend, only reaching 56 on saturday with the steady rain. more of the same for the inland areas, mostly cloudy, trending across the bay area tomorrow and some showers on saturday and sunday. moving out by monday. >> thank you very much. we continue to follow breaking news as we have all morning long. we actually came on errorly this morning just to give you this information. two inmates have escaped from the santa clara county main jail. this is video of the search for them. this is how it unfolded. it started about 11:00 last night when four inmates repel ld out of the second story window at the jail. a correctional deputy on patrol down below, he saw some movement, looked up and saw clothing hanging from the window which the inmates had actually tied together with a sheet to get out. he was able to catch two of the

inmates, but two others were able to get away. >> deputies and police started searching that area immediately. law enforcement officers patrolling neighborhoods to make sure you are safe. we do believe the suspects are still inside that perimeter. damian trujillo has been talking to some of the people guarding that perimeter. the suspects, one of them very distinctive with a tuoo tattoo s his left eye. he is rogelio chavez. the other, lanon desean campbell. both are having big men. chavez 6'1", 190 pounds and campbell 6'4", 210 pounds. we will continue our coverage throughout san jose of the search for these suspects coming up in just a moment. welcome back.

suspect photos. ==2 shot== ==boxes== let's go to today in the bay's bob redell is live a guadalupe and welcome back. we continue to follow breaking news on this thanksgiving morning. two of four suspects who escaped from the santa clara county jail are still on the run this morning. we have report ergs throughout the south bay this morning covering the perimeter and the search for the suspects. let's check in with "today in the bay's" bob redell live at guadalupe and heading this morning, one of the areas there, as daylight comes around, hopefully it will help them capture these suspects, bob. >> reporter: assuming these two escapees are still on the outside, yes, it will be much harder for them to hide.

we're on the west end of the perimeter in downtown san jose. they have a perimeter set up on heading street and other areas around the jail. throughout the night we did see law enforcement including the santa clara county sheriff's office, san jose police department and department of public safety from the city of sunnyvale out here searching. they had a helicopter up at one point. want to put up the mugshot of these two. on the left side of your screen, that's rogelio chavez, he's 33 years old. he's been in the santa clara county jail since august of this year, august 17th that he was booked. he hasn't been convicted of any of the crimes he's being held on. he's only been charged with these. these charges include burglary, extortion, false imprisonment, resisting arrest and firearms violations. you cannot tell, but he is tall. he's 6'1", 190 pounds.

you'll notice over his left eye he has a distinctive tattoo. and also on the left side of his neck, he has the let bter b. on the right side of your screen, lanon desean campbell, 26 years old, he's been in the santa clara county main jail since february of last year, so almost two years. he hasn't been convicted of charges i'm about to mention, only charged with these crimes. they include robbery, false imprisonment, criminal threats, firearms violations. again, you can't tell in the picture, he's also tall, tall than the other escape pee. he's 6'4", 220 pounds. here is what the sergeant with the santa clara county sheriff's office had to say about these two earlier. >> i think anybody willing to escape from jail are probably desperate at this time. we want the public to take precautions, not to try to apprehend them, but to notify law enforcement and help us bring them back.

>> reporter: as we mentioned, there was not a video camera in the section they escaped from, that second floor section. there's no video of them escaping. what's clear is that the two escapees are wearing their standard issue orange top and gray bottoms or if they're wearing something else. live in san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> we know at least they left with the orange top and gray bottoms. by this time they could have most likely changed. thank you very much, bob. >> this is video of the search just a short time ago with canine units. these people, four of them originally, but two were caught, repelled out of the second story window at the jail. correctional deputy on patrol finding some of that movement, seeing the clothing hanging from the window as we watch a video of this search. again, twro caught, two others still able to get away. and they began searching cars and trucks. pete suratos is out in san jose.

first. that's where it may be the heaviest. once it moves in, we could have some rain pretty much pouring all day saturday in some spots and moving out sunday morning. rainfall totals could reach from .50 inch up to .75 inch and maybe a little higher along the coastline in spots like half moon bay. nice soaking for the weekend. we need that rain. it's been a dry november. as we get ready to head into december, it still stays cool in san francisco. highs in the upper 50s to lower 60s. it duts president rebound as far as temperatures until about wednesday of next week. so once again, looking at a very wet weekend. that should not impact your black friday plans. early shopping is still looking dry. >> we'll have full coverage of that tomorrow as well. full coverage today. we actually went on the errorly to bring you this breaking news developing overnight. here is what we know. four suspects actually escaped from the santa clara jail last knight a little after 11:00.

combing the area by ground and by ir. >> thanks for staying with us on this thanksgiving morning. this first started about 11:00 last night when a group of four inmates repelled out of a second story window. a correctional deputy on patrol saw movement, looked up and saw clothing hanging from the window which the inmates used to get out. >> he was able to catch two of the inmates, but two others were able to get away. deputies and police started searching that area immediately. let's go live. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez, the fers reporter at the scene this morning. what's the latest? >> reporter: i can tell you the two inmates are still at large but they have lost the cover of darkness. the sun is up and will be shining shortly over the main ja jail. the old section was built in the 1950s and to be decommissioned

in the not-to-distant future. because it is the older section, there were no cameras to capture the escaped. four inmates were able the pry open the bars from their second story cell and repel down using clothing and sheets they tied together. take a is will en. >> it's still under vision how the bars were cut. i can confirm the bars were cut and they repelled out of the window fashioning clothing and bed sheets to get to the ground. >> they were caught around the mane jail complex. there was a correctional deputy on an exterior patrol. he saw some movement of someone in the shadows and looked up and saw the clothing hanging from the window and able to apprehend two of the escapees. >> we're asking the community to be aware.

san jose police department is patrolling those neighborhoods to make sure those res depts are safe. >> reporter: we're talking about the neighborhood behind us on the other side of north first street. there's a vta line and detectives are looking through the surveillance video to see if cameras captured any movement from the two inmates on the run still. behind me here you can see the overpass there, that's guadalupe parkway, highway 87. there is that route out of this area. but there's heavy law enforcement here because the sheriff's department is here, the correctional deputies are here, the police department is one block away. there's one school of thought, that they are hunkered down here within the perimeter and may be found very soon. the other school of thought is they had other routes that they could have escaped if they had other help. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> kris, thank you. we have crews and live cameras all over the south bay. this is a live picture of the silicon valley turkey trot in downtown san jose. thousands of racers are expected
