pieces together. >> the defense has tried to argue that sierra lamar was not abducted five years ago on the way to her school bus stop in morgan hill, that instead she ran away and is still alive. during the three-week trial, the prosecution presented evidence of garcia torres's dna on her clothes, which happened to be found in a field in morgan hill, and her dna in his car. the jury is expected to take several days to deliberate and come back with a verdict. if they find garcia torres guilty, they then must decide whether or not to sentence him to death. if the verdict is not guilty, garcia torres could never be tried again in lamar's death, even if there's new evidence. bob redell, today in the bay. new this morning, a woman is rushed to the hospital after being hit by a mustang on the peninsula. here's some new video of that scene just in to our newsroom. this happened on el camino real. we do not have word on the victim's condition. now to a tragic story that

we have been covering since yesterday morning. this right here is a picture of the san jose couple gunned down inside their home in the willow glen neighborhood of san jose by their daughter's ex-boyfriend. the husband was a vice president of engineering at juniper networks in sunnyvale, and that couple, as we mentioned, was killed inside their home late wednesday night in an ordeal that lasted well into thursday morning. police say the 24-year-old shot and killed the couple and then took the couple's 13-year-old son hostage. that's when police officers arrived and shot him. he didn't survive. there was a possible advanced warning on his instagram page from a couple weeks ago. he wrote, quote, no mercy on the ones that love you most. san jose police chief eddy garcia said he waw upset over a recent breakup. >> dealing with someone who is mentally ill, who had choices. and he didn't give this family choices. he didn't give my officer a

choice. >> that couple had an older son in the house as well at the time of the shooting. he was able to get out. he's the one who called 911 and reached police. his former girlfriend was not at house at the time. >> it's 5:05. new details to share with you. you may recall a protest last month in berkeley that got out of hand at civic center park. now, police are asking for your help identifying three people. they say are wanted for assault stemming from that protest. protesters on both sides clashed. one video clip showed a protester being punched in the face. now, police arrested 20 people that day. take a look at these photos we have been showing you here. 11 were injured. they could certainly use your help. >> 5:05. scary mom nlts at the north concart b.a.r.t. station after police say a man tried to rob a rider and threatened to killham. the suspect approached him and asked for money. the suspect said he had a gun

more service to the downtown area and to the east side where ridership is growing. and reduced service south county, including gilroy and the west valley where ridership is on the decline. now, bus service will be elimnalted from free minute to sunnyvale and also into mountain view and other areas. if those changes don't draw people back to the rails, that could mean more cars and more traffic for you, even if you are a driver and you commute as well. coming up at 6:00, we'll show you who these changes could impact the most. in milpitas, kris sanchez, today in the bay. >> we'll look forward to checking back in with you. >> to washington, d.c. where president trump and house republicans are enjoying their big health care victory this morning. yesterday in a vote along party lines, the gop passed a new health care bill. the legislation now heads to the senate where it faces a tougher challenge. the senate may not get to the act for months. republicans say the bill will lower premiums but allow options to raise premiums on the sick.

president trump says he's fulfilling a campaign promise. >> this is a repeal and a replace of obamacare, make no mistake about it. >> this vote will be tattooed to them as i also said, they will glow in the dark. >> nancy pelosi adding that 24 million americans will lose their health care if the bill becomes a law. that comes from the cbo report from the first health care bill, that 24 million projection. 5:08 right now. live to san jose. does the air in the bay area seem healthier to you? apparently, it is. they say the region has cleaned up its air and it comes after a long and controversial campaign to redeese wood burning. we now meet federal health standards. that's good news for people with asthma and emphysema. >> firefighters in the south bay preparing, though, for the oncoming fire season. santa clara county fire department is conducting a

wildfire training exercise. neck week is california wildfire awareness week. it's 5:09 on this friday morning. and we start out with some mild temperatures in the mid to upper 50s. looking at now 55 degrees in the peninsula and 57 in the south bay and east bay. and the north bay, right now as you head out the door, it's 52. we also have low clouds and the misand drizzle. as we go through the day, all cloudy in the tri-valley will be at 73 degrees. 69 in the peninsula. and the south bay up to 72 degrees. it will be a much cooler day. don't forget to wear a light jacket. you may need it through the afternoon, especially in san francisco. coming up at 5:13, i'll show you the temperature trend for san jose. opening day for the farmer's market. we'll talk more about that. heading to mike, an update on what's happening on the roadway. >> you talk about the farmer's market. great for san jose. the crash, not so great for san jose, but that's where it is. the rest of the bay moves very well. early, 5:09, almost 5:10 in a

couple seconds. southbound 101 now shows the slowing approaching brokaw. that crash currently resulted in a traffic hold. chp says they're holding all traffic just about brokaw as they try to clear three vehicles, possibly four from the roadway. heard about a number of tow trucks heading to the scene. folks may be getting by on surface streets or at 87. we'll track that. no delays for the transit systems. b.a.r.t. has closure over lake merritt over the weekend. >> 5:10. new video just coming in of a resnear dodgers stadium. >> plus, a glimpse of the future. changes that could be coming to the san francisco skyline. >> and uber gets unwanted attention from the feds. we'll take a look when today in the bay continues. mike traffic tease

it is 5:13 as you get ready to head out the door. let's take a live look outside at san jose. you can see the clouds overhead this morning. it's also a mild start. our temperatures will be in the upper 50s by 9:00. farmer's market opens at 10:00 and it will be 62 degrees. partly cloudy skies. we will get some sun today and much cooler temperatures. going to be a nice weekend, but we'll have to deal with some clouds. we'll talk about that coming up in five minutes. >> and we're looking at travel times quickly heading to the bay bridge. no problems here, buthat crash in san jose, i just got the update. chp said major injuries. i'll show you if it's having a

mage impact on the commute. >> thank you very much. we are following news out of south carolina right now. these are live pictures coming to you from the scene where a search is under way for a gunman after a person was shot at an automotive parts plant in south carolina. it's happening in the community of fountain inn, just outside of greenville. as we see the live patrols on the scene there, about 100 employees have been evacuated, we understand, from the plant so far. authorities have not released a motive and the condition of the victim is not known, but an active search is going on right now for the gunman. new video just in out of southern california. this is a rescue that took place near a cliff near dodger stadium. l.a. fire department crews had to hoist two uninjured hikers to safety from the steep hillside where they were stranded. rescuers used a two-line rope system to lift the two men up. they'll be okay. they were evaluated by paramedics before being released

to their parents. >> wow. a lot of explaining to do there. >> 5:14 right now. the future or maybe futuristic san francisco skyline appears to be getting closer to reality. this is salive look at the transamerica building, but if we twisted it around, you would see sales force tower. artist rendering show what it could look like some day. doesn't look like that right now. it's going to project digital images you can see from just about anywhere in the city. jim campbell created the project. no word on when the lights may actually turn on. uber right now pretty well known for bending the rules a little bit as far as it can. >> this time, scott mcgrew, maybe it bent a little too far. >> a bend too far. caught the attention of the feds, uber has. in this case, the controversy is over software uber used code named greyball. that software was basically a way of masking uberx cars and making them invisible to city regulators in cities where they were cracking down on ride

sharing services. so for instance, in portland, the city regulator might fire up his uber app. uber knew he was a city regulator and he wouldn't see any uber x cars obhis app even though they were around him, and the uber x drivers would know not to pick him up. "the new york times" was the first to reveal the greyball software, but reuters reports federal prosecutors here in the bay area have launched an inquiry. an inquiry is not to the level of a criminal investigation, but either way, it's attracting attention of the feds. generally not a good business. we get the big jobs number in about 15 minutes. the white house will be watching this one carefully. last month's report, the first report that fully encompassed the trump presidency, was very poor. wall street watching that. the french elections are also on investors' radars. that's on sunday. shares in health insurance companies rose thursday after the house passed its health care

bill that will allow higher prices. earlier this week, we were talking about how the feds were backing off their threat to crack down on medical marijuana. i invited a man to talk to reporters on the sunday morning show. interesting guy, the head of ease. straight laced. he hadn't even tried marijuana before taking the job. he wants to turn legal marijuana into something more mainstream. >> really trying to separate cannabis from stoner culture. a lot of people, in fact, the majority of americans are in favor of cannabis. a lot of people are really put off by cannabis culture. >> i asked him about trying pot for the first time. he said i'm a product guy. >> he's certainly in the business aspect of it. >> that's right, the legal delivery of currently medical marijuana, but they will do recreational, which will become legal. you can have it now. you can't sell it recreationally yet. >> a lot of green in a different

sort too. >> this is a business that is here to stay, whether, as you said, he had tried it before or not. a lot of money to be made now. >> that was the green. >> that was the green. there's other green. >> 5:18. the green of a baseball field. look at that glow. the catch of the day in basketball yesterday. not by a player but by a fan. sign this guy up. nice. no need for two hands. >> one-handed catch? >> exactly. can still have a drink from his beer. >> that's impressive. >> it happened in atlanta outside of braves ballpark restaurant. who knew rawhide will be on the menu. you know that? >> i got that. >> looking -- i played baseball. thanks for the explaining of that. >> our writer put that in. it wasn't necessarily for you. i know you played baseball. >> by the way, maybe they need more fans like that. >> and it was right there, went right to his hand. >> he kept his beer in the other hand.

baseball weather. we had hot weather earlier this week. now it's actually comfortable. you can enjoy the game. >> really nice this weekend. temperatures coming down. we will have more clouds in the mix, and it will be windy today, too. that will be the other story. i think that's helped to mix out some of the fog. when the winds kick up, we don't see the persistent low visibility and dense fog that we normally see. it's still misting there and it's 54 degrees in san francisco. 57 degrees in oakland, and 57 right now as you head out the door in san jose. let's get a look at the high temperatures this afternoon. as we will be reaching into the low 70s in east san jose. 73 degrees in morgan hill. gatos today up to 73, and for the east bay, hayward, 70s. concord, 76 degrees. and livermore, 71. we'll be in the upper 60s for most of the peninsula. daley city, a cool 59. and 64 today in the mission district. we will see some low 70s for much of the north bay. so it will be a much cooler

friday, and it will also be very breezy. our winds coming in from the north and northwest, and look at these wind speeds. in miles per hour in san francisco. 23, and for the inland areas, it will still be breezy. wind speeds at about 15 to 20 miles per hour throughout the day, and it gets even stronger as we go into tonight. a cool front dropping across the state, and that will keep us cool for the weekend. also cloudy, too. it will be windy throughout the day tomorrow at 1:00, winds speeds from the northwest at 20 to 25 miles per hour. so be prepared for that. not only that, but we'll also have more clouds and also a slight chance of rain. the spotty showers will be very light. nothing to really be concerned about. just something to watch out for if you do feel some light rain coming down. and temperatures in san francisco stay in the low 60s through next week. and for the inland areas, we go from 73 today to upper 60s for the weekend, but not bad. warming up just a little bit for the middle of next week.

and mike has some more pleasant views for san jose. >> views are pleasant, but the news, this crash is not what you want to hear. we'll take you down here. the speed sensors, great, but southbound 101 had a lot of sleing. we told you about traffic being held. the green sensors have restored southbound 101. they may have cleared lanes, although chp did not confirm that. we do have major injuries reported after the multivehicle crash, south 101, just south of airport, around the brokaw off ramp. we'll follow that and a lighter traffic flow for the rest of the bay. i want to take you to the waze app. we're seeing more slowing coming up to the dublin interchange which had a fender bender which was cleared off the roadway. you see the three routes, colors, and times. you choose your routd, but the quickest one right now is still the purple one going through hayward and castro valley. you can make a choicen your phone as well. that's available wherever you have your phone signal as well, and check our team, the

magnifying glass, name, and the profile selection for this team, nbc bay area wazers. that's the team to choose. take you around throughout the bay area. >> thanks a lot, mike. it's 5:22. coming up, possibly the most exciting fastest two minutes of sports. coming up next, the preparations under way for the much anticipated kentucky derby. >> get your hats, get your juleps. in the meantime, a live look outside right now at 101 in palo alto. things moving along pretty smoothly. it's friday. no doubt you're hoping for friday light. we'll have much more coming up in two minutes. a live look at churchill downs

>> every year that happens. >> it seems like a very repetitive story. every year. >> check your strollers and car seats. we have a recall to tell you about. a fallered has prompted recalls of comeby products. recall involves about 1,000 combi car seats and strollers. they're sold in silver and ret. the car seat can disengage from the frame and pose a fall hazard to the infant inside. the good news is no injuries have been reported so far. hopefully they can get all those darjts strollers recalled. >> we're so close, we can touch it. >> we're trying to grab it. >> finally in reach. what can we expect weather wise? kari hall tracking your forecast. >> it's going to be much cooler heading into the weekend. take a look at these temperatures. in the upper 60s and 70s for most of the bay area. going to be nice. we'll talk about it coming up next. parents at one barrier city spending the night outside, braving the cool weather to help

>> sam brockez. too late. i'll take that right back. happy friday to you. let's get your forecast right now. laura mentioned the fact it's cooler. also a lot of wind. >> that's going to be what everyone will be talking about, especially in san francisco. it's really going to be windy there and along the coastline. inland areas, still a nice breeze, but our temperatures will be cooler as well. and it will be up to 64 degrees in san francisco. we're staying in the 60s throughout the next several days. and then notice the showers in the weekend forecast. very slight chance. don't cancel outdoor plans. light rain sprinkles moving through. otherwise, we're also going to have more comfortable weather into next week. we'll talk about the winds today, how high they'll get and we'll talk more about the rain coming up in eight minutes. mike is still tracking the crash in san jose. >> chp hasn't been able to give us much more information from that scene, but i'm telling you the speed sensors for southbound 101 have cleared from red when

they have that break and traffic held until now. i think they have reopened the lanes, four vehicles involved and major injuries reported. there's still clearly going to be activity at least on the shoulder. south 101 past the airport. northbound, a little build. no major issues and the toll plaza, no surprise, as the meet ring lights are on. >> 5:31. at the moment, parents lined up in the cold, waiting, taking time off from work all for a cause they think is very important. >> it's all for affordable child care. today in the bay's pete suratos live in south san francisco this morning with very determined parents. some have been lined up, we understand, for more than 24 hours. >> good morning to you, laura and sam. very determined parents, really trying to get that affordable child care option for the next school year. want to show you the tents right here outside this rec center in south san francisco. wrapping around the building. i'm told there's anywhere between 20 to 40 tents.

and in about an hour and a half, they'll go inside to find out if they will be able to get the affordable child care for the next school year. the child care being offered at six different parks and recreation centers. south san francisco, would cost them about $399 a month. this matters because according to the latest stats, affordable for those looking for child care, the average cost per day for child care can cost nearly $200 per day. that explains why some parents have camped outside this rec center in south san francisco for more than 24 hours. in fact, we spoke to one moments ago. >> you're emotional because it's important to you. >> very important. i mean, we try to bring up in a really good school. and we're trying to do something that's going to help us as well as her because we have to find somewhere that's accommodating for us. >> director of parks and recration in south san francisco

said the line is longer this year due to uncertainty regarding federal funds for programs like this. back out here live, you can see the tents set up. there are only 40 spots remaining for those to get the affordable child care. they'll find out shortly at 7:00 a.m. when the doors open behind me. we're live in san francisco, pete suratos for today in the bay. >> thank you very much, pete. it's 5:33 right now. continuing coverage now, bracing for more testimony in a police officer-involved shooting that rocked the hayward police department and the law inment community in general two years ago. there preliminary hearing continues for the man accused of murdering sergeant scott lunger during a traffic stop in 2013. yesterday, officer justin green testified that he drove up to the scene as quickly as possible and heard a gunshot from the suspect's pickup. officer green says he shot multiple times into estrada's car, but the suspect was able to drive away. estrada was eventually arrested the next day at an oaklandrupt

where he was treated for a gunshot wound. yesterday afternoon, b.a.r.t. police say someone burglarized a jeep cherokee in the parking lot. at this point, police aren't saying if it's an isolated incident or a recurring problem. >> changes coming to a popular caltrains station. crews will begin reflooring the station on fourth and king street. nearly 786,000 commuters pass through every year. the replacement project will be done in two phases. during each phase, sections of the station will be closed off. the project is expected to be finished by mid-may. today, we are expected to learn more denews on a salvage operation in the bay. the coast card is still trying to pull up a sunken barge that capsized last month during stormy weather. this, of course, all near the bay bridge. at one point, the barge was hovering over the transbay tube.

crews have been working on rotating it upright for months now. today, the coast guard will give us an update. >> west bay shore road in palo alto is heading towards a long term closure today. part of the creek bridge replacement project. the road will be closed from university avenue to channing avenue. it starts at 3:30 this afternoon. no word yet on when it will reopen. >> the mare island causeway bridge in vallejo also closing today, but this is temporary. it closes at 10:00 and reopens at 2:00. the bridge is being inspected. if you're heading that way, use state hout highway 37. >> so many great sights to see in the bay area. a live look at the golden gate bridge. that's one of the icons here. the bay area is known for. it's the state's top travel hot spot, according to a new study by visit california. the bay area brings in california's highest travel

spending dollars every yoor. bad news in the future. california could see a slowdown in tourist spending and the reason is the strengthening of the dollar could encourage u.s. tourists to flock to other worldly locales. >> quite the attraction here as well. certainly the golden state warriors. a live look from oracle arena where the home team did not disappoint. this was also the second straight dominating victory for the ws over the utah jazz in their series in the western conference semifinals. steph last night draining five threes. he scores 23 points. kevin durant led the way with 25 points, 11 boards, 7 assists. this game was never really in doubt, but that right there was a scary moment for fans. draymond green, you see him grabbing his knee during the ninety-fourth quarter. he left the court, but he still managed to return a short time later. >> i knew my knee was locking up a little bit. i had it before. a tweak. it wasn't like this huge sigh of

relief because i knew exactly what it was from the jump. >> all right, just a little tweak. now, we move on to utah for game three tomorrow night. it's 5:37. as you get ready to head out this morning, let's take a live look at the san mateo bridge. this will be one of the areas we'll be watching for some high wind gusts today. and the wind speeds coming in from the north. they're starting out at 10 to 15, and then look at how the wind speeds increase as we go through the day. san francisco, half moon bay, wind speeds of 23, and it will be also close to 30 miles per hour for this afternoon into the evening. so going across some of the bridges, you may have issues there. especially for the high profile vehicles. as we go into the weekend, still going to be very gusty out there throughout the day, and also some cooler temperatures. we'll talk the temperature trend and what else to expect as we go through the next several days. that's coming up in three minutes. now as we head over to mike, he's got better news now for the bay shore freeway.

>> that's right, kari. we were following the crash in san jose. southbound 101, where all lanes were reported blocked after a major injury crash. now we still are following the updates on the injuries. the people involved, 101 southbound now has at least half the lanes if thought the majority of the southbound lanes open. that's why we see the speed sensors cleared in the half hour. right at the scene, that's a word caution, and northbound, a little build, which is typical about now. transit agencies not showing major issues except for ace train, developing a delay with train number one, signal problems likely to affect all trains this morning, and remember, the lake maerit statin is closed saturday and sunday. >> 5:38. coming up, dangers on the roadways. disturbing new numbers that show just how distracted bay area drivers are behind the wheel. >> plus, what does the president actually know about the health care vote? we'll take a look when we continue. =mike/trx=

mike traffic tease 5:41. we start out with clouds around the bay area. even the south bay as we lack at downtown san jose and the clouds will keep it cooler. there will be some clearing. we start out at 9:00 in the morning at 60 degrees. the average high, 72. we won't quite get there in willow glen. up to 69 degrees by 2:00. we'll take a look ahead to a weekend with more clouds and also a little bit of some rain. that's coming up at 5:48. >> okay, i'll take the weekend

and thosetures. the travel times as well. tri-valley, east bay, not showing any real slowing. we'll show you the backup at the bay bridge. >> thank you. breaking news to bring to you right now. new jobs numbers were released. 211,000 jobs created last month. if it sounds like a big number, it is. certainly more than what was expected. the jobless rate also declined to 4.4%. that's the lowest mark in ten years. we'll see how the news impacts the markets when they open up in less than an hour. >> live to the bay bridge toll plaza and a big reminder for all drivers. put those phones down. may is distracted driving awareness month. we have last year's data from the national highway traffic safety administration. nearly half of drivers said they have been hit or nearly hit by a driver talking on their phone or texting and nearly 40% admitted to making a mistake while talking on their cell phone. >> critics of governor brown's

gas tax bill are putting their foot on the brakes. a republican assemblyman is organizing a voter initiative to strike down the gas tax. the effort comes weeks after governor brown got the legislature to agree to the tax, which provides more than $50 billion for improved bridges, tunnels, and roads. not all drivers are sold on repealing the plan. >> i would probably vote against it so that we could pay the tax. now, that said, let's hope they're going to take that money and actually fix these roads. >> they didn't ask their input, didn't ask their opinion. they just rammed it through. >> a repeal will make it on the voters sign the petition. gas tax collection, by the way, will begin in november. california's new attorney general, xavier becerra, wants more money to fight president trump. that is what he told the senate budget subcommittee yesterday. certainly seeing this play out with the fight over sank city

funding. becerra also says the new budget proposed by the governor guts his funding by $6 million. he didn't specify how much he does need. >> usually when we ask what the president knew, it has to do with a scandal. >> this morning, the question is more fundamental. >> there's all kinds of things to unpack in yesterday's health care vote. lots of reporters are doing it. i to point out the president's promise on 60 minutes universal health care. health care for everybody. then, yesterday, trump once again praised the current health care bill, the one just passed for giving health care to anyone. even though a nonpartisan review of a previous version of that same bill said millions of people are going to lose their health care if it's passed. so when you listen to the president, what happened and what he thinks happened seem to be different. now, we know the president gets a lot of his news from fox and

friends. here's fox and friends. >> democrats should say okay, thank you. listen, we wanted everyone in this country to be insured, which i believe is a good thing. especially when you have these families -- whatever, i think it's great that everyone is getting health care. >> everyone is getting health care. but the bill does not do that. now, the president does seem to understand, we don't have and we're not going to have the universal health care he had promised because, listen to him talking to australian prime minister just hours after the republicans passed their health care plan. >> going to be fantastic health care. right now, obamacare is failing. we have a failing health care. i shouldn't say this to our great gentleman and my friend from australia because you have better health care than we do, but we're going to have great health care soon. obamacare is failing. insurance companies are leaving. aetna just announced they're out. >> the health care bill now goes to the senate which won't pass

it, but will write its own bill and the two will come together, the house will find some kind of compromise, and we'll be covering that. the other thing we're watching, the french elections. marine le pen a lot of people said she's 3wanalogous to trum. she's a nationalist. she wants to crack down on immigrants, take france out of the euro. she's there on the right. emanuel macron, brand-new to politics, likely to win, is a centrist. at least by french standards. video from the debate the other day says she says he's a german tool. he says she's a parasite. luben will likely lose, but there's a reasonable theory that the terror attacks between now and sunday will change that. if you follow the logic, isis wants le pen because they want to encourage the divide. the next 48 hours in france are going to be tense. >> and we'll be watching. thank you very much, scott. >> scott examines the president's tweets, executive

orders and speeches every morning. you can share your thoughts with scott on twitter, @scottmcgrew. >> certified most accurate in the bay area byok weather rate. >> our weather department has a new title. it is now more accurate weather station in the bay area. title coming weather rate, an independent weather research company. it's a big accomplishment coming off all that wet winter we had. scientists found our microclimate weather team is the most accurate when it comes to predicting rain, wind, thunderstorms, fog, even high and low temperatures. so congratulations. they put a lot of hours in to researching all of that. >> a big effort and a lot of pressure for you guys, i know too, get it right. people certainly demand level of accuracy, and it's a tough job. >> especially in the bay area, with all of the microclimates, but it's definitely an accomplishment and really proud to be a part of the team. as we start out, as you head out
