decision by some of the council leaders there. >> reporter: over the next coming weeks the city attorney for the city of sunnyvale will be researching and writing an ordinance that would raise the purchase age for an assault weapon to 21 and no doubt a lot of other municipalities, cities, towns, counties will be watching this very closely to see how it all plays out. now, the vote that happened here at the city council chambers last night was unanimous and it's worth mentioning that during public comment when anyone can speak out no one spoke against that proposed ordinance which would also exempt active duty military and law enforcement from that age restriction. the mayor says this is really about the latest school shooting and doing what this city of 100,000 people can to prevent a tragedy like that from happening here. >> you have to be 21 to drink, if you are a teenager and you get your license you have to wait 12 months before you can drive with your friends. there's other things along the

line of taking a look at what we've seen putting regulations in place for youth is not an inappropriate thing to do. >> reporter: sunnyvale has been at the forefront of gun regulation before banning high capacity magazines back in 2013. i will post the sunnyvale city council agenda in my twitter feed and then coming up at 6:00 here on "today in the bay" i will show you some data on mass shootings and assault rifles and the gunman's age so you can decide for yourself if sunnyvale's ordinance really addresses the problem. the assault rifle vote comes on the same day that the santa clara county supervisors voted to explore an ordinance banning gun shows at the county fairgrounds. we are tracking that for you as well. in sunnyvale, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." we've got a follow-up now on the suspicious fire at the el sobrante library.

two lions right there playful flee outside of this couple's front window. i don't know how nice that is when they're that close. so those lions didn't even notice the homeowners, pretty much played with each other. >> they were out here for like 20 minutes. i was scared, i thought that they were going to pounce through the window. it was one of the coolest things that i've ever seen. >> there was another mountain lion sighting this time in the rural town of pescadero off of highway 1 on the coast. leon na cash say the lion killed some of her chickens. >> i screened and i don't know what way he went i was so scared. >> cash is worried the lion will return and she is afraid for all of her animals including her horse. >> i've seen coyotes and i've been scared, i can't imagine a mountain lion. your temperatures right now very

mild running several degrees warmer at this hour. noticeably warmer. if you step outside you will notice it's not that chilly. microclimate highs, san jose once again climbing into the 70s and milpitas a high of 68 as we head over towards the east bay, concord also in those 70s, oakland into those mid 60s at about 65 degrees. along the peninsula and san francisco i want you guys to keep in mind we will start to notice an increase in cloud cover into the afternoon. even though those temperatures will be pleasant, san francisco and the north bay is expected to see the rain first as that storm system makes its way in tonight before spreading further down south and into tomorrow morning. i will talk about that again in a bit, but let's check in with mike. we're looking over at a calm drive right now, it's wednesday, we don't see a lot of commute building for most of these freeways. we are looking over here toward the altamonte pass, a little slow coming out of that corridor. no major issues. overcoming out of the south county 101 at speed for our

worries that donald trump really is going to enforce those tariffs and may add more. as you know mr. trump has declared the united states will slap tariffs on aluminum and steel, something even the aluminum industry now says it does not want. and there's an expectation he will follow up on a campaign promise to add a huge tariff on anything made in china like almost anything made by apple. now, the reason wall street thinks the president is serious about new tariffs is because his top economic adviser just resigned over the issue. gary cohn was to free trade and the president was not. cohn's departure makes it clear protectionism just won at the white house. now, normally the number two man or woman would take over for cohn, in this case that would be jeremy katz but he has already resigned. "the new york times" points out 43% of the staff that started with mr. trump have already left. the president tweeted this morning will be making a

decision soon on the appointment of a new chief economic adviser. many people wanting the job. we'll choose wisely. other news, the bay area's 23 and me has gotten clearance to sell a dna testing kit that will determine whether you carry the gene associated with breast cancer. it is not foolproof by a long shot, but the significance here honestly is not really whether it works or not, it's that it's a major step forward for home dna testing. the fda has been very restrictive about home dna testing. women with the brca gene have an 85% greater chance -- and men for that matter -- of developing cancer. so this will tell you if you have it, not if you have cancer. >> right. if you carry the gene. >> if you carry the gene and of course you should be following up with your doctor. >> there are so many forms of cancer, should this develop, you know -- >> this is a very specific, but this gene almost guarantees it. >> exactly.

>> this is a very important test. >> it would be good to have a doctor there to consult. >> absolutely. >> interesting. thank you, scott. it is 5:17. turns out not everyone is a fan of driverless cars, especially in san francisco. the dmv has reportedly recorded at least six traffic incidents this year involving self driving cars statewide. two took place in san francisco and both were road rage incidents where people for some reason or another attacked the cars. in both cases the cars were stopped at lights and being manned by human operators. the damage each time was considered minor, but humans have been the cause of -- the ceo of national organization for rare disorders is speaking out, this after a recent tax reform cut about credits that are offered for researchers offering treatments. >> i can tell you that process in general will bring that drug to market costs a billion

dollars. so the drug tax credits are very important incentive to companies to want to work in this space especially when you're spreading your cost for that drug over a very small population. it's not like a lipitor that's spread over thousands of people or millions of people. >> if you want to hear more you can do that. you can hear that interview coming up at 7:00 on the "today" show. that story hits close to home for nbc news correspondent richard engel whose soon is battling a rare disease. a virginia father with an unusual lesson in consequences for his ten-year-old son. haden thornhill had been barred from riding the school bus for three days, the reason was bullying so his dad decided to make him do the trip to school on foot by running in the rain. his dad you see driving behind him recording haden's mile long run to school. >> when i was running it wasn't super fun but i think it was a good punishment because i think i deserved it. >> if he needs a hug he's going

to get a hug, if he needs to run he's going to run. he's going to get what he needs to direct him to be a responsible young man. >> haden's father says part of the reason it came to this is because he's gotten into trouble before and says his punishment seems to have worked. >> the father was behind him the entire time. looks like the kid understands i did wrong, so -- >> we're keeping track. >> santa is watching, too. >> quite the time-out. >> we're taking a time-out from the news to get updated with the weather. enjoy today. >> enjoy today at least through the afternoon. we're expecting to see comfortable weather again with some temperatures that will be relatively warm. in the 50s right now in the south bay if you're waking up, good morning. tri-valley 46. check out san francisco at 52, a little chillier in the north bay at 43 degrees, but we are several degrees warmer at this hour than we were yesterday and that's because we're still in a

bit of that warmer trend, it's our last day to be dry. that is until tonight. we have less than 24 hours before that rain moves in. livermore rain 8 degrees warmer, san jose 9 degrees recall war. let's talk about today's forecast. we will notice an increase in cloud cover and late into tonight after our temperatures top out into the upper 60s and 70s, 70 degrees for san jose, san francisco 63, we've got this system sitting off the coast, right now it's 700 miles off the coast. doppler radar showing what could be a tap into some subtropical moisture. let's talk about that timeline. by 10:30 p.m. we see the majority of this rain stall out over the north bay. so the areas that we'll probably see moderate to heavy downpours will be north bay and anything north of san francisco. as far as anything south of san francisco, we see that kind of moving in thursday early morning. over the next seven days let's talk about the next three storms. we get our first storm system that arrives late to object and then we get the early morning chance of rain for tomorrow. then again on friday we see the rain continue and then that second system moves in on

saturday, but then right behind that second system going into next monday we get the arrival of a third storm system. not a big rainmaker out of this initial storm but we will take our chances with that, i'm okay with seeing more rain in the bay area for sure but i don't know if the commuters are, especially when we take into consideration tomorrow morning. everybody wants to see more rain, it's better for everything, but when you are in the rain and there's slow traffic or folks are hitting the breaks a little too hard we don't want that. tomorrow morning we will be on the lookout as vianey said that rain comes in overnight. right now looking at smooth drive and build for the east bay and also the police activity continuing in san francisco. avoid capp around 20th, 22nd between van ness and mission over there where pete suratos continues to follow the overnight police shooting. looking over here backup for the fast track lanes, but the cash lanes are still at an advantage. that indicates a lighter volume and lighter commute as more

folks with fast track coming in but these folks with the cash lanes are staying home perhaps today making it easy for the morning. looking toward the north bay just starting as well. westbound 37 over toward the mare island area. smooth ride on the rails, ace rain about 15 minute delay. coming up next on "today in the bay," dramatic new video into our newsroom, the frantic rescue that saved two children trapped in rubble. plus -- >> i just sat there and i teared up and my reaction was i can't believe it. >> the last second shot by a livermore high school basketball player that is getting a lot of attention this morning.

youngest at 5:25 some heart breaking new video this morning showing some of the youngest victims of war being dramatically rescued in syria. a syrian opposition group called syrian civil defense released this video showing a boy you saw there and then a young girl imagine underneath all that rubble being rescued. this is out of a bombed out building in a suburb of damascus earlier this week. the u.n. says at least 100 people died in attacks on monday making it the deadliest day in syria since the ceasefire was announced last month. when it comes to relieving chronic pain opioids probably

not the best answer, that is the conclusion of a new university of minnesota study looking at long-term pain for more than 200 veterans. it showed opioids were no better at improving pain than other drugs but were more addictive. one recent last second basketball shot getting a lot of attention in the bay area. didn't even win the game. >> but what it did do was change the life of the boy who made that shot. 15-year-old livermore high school player robert boswell misses his first attempt, but with the buzzer sounding that ball goes in. this is the reason why this is important, robert is autistic and his mother says that that shot has been a big game changer for robert's mindset. >> it's really brought out more conversation with him, he feels more confident, more eye contact. i think it's just made him feel more in with society. >> everybody gathered up on me,

people sitting in the bleach rs and gathering up on me, even the players, too. >> that's exciting. >> it is. robert's mom tells us that that video went viral then his parents of course and everyone else say that they're really happy about this and other special needs children are sending a message to all of them, this story has brought all of them hope. >> that's great. 5:27. coming up next on "today in the bay," walking out, east bay teachers taking a stand for higher wages today. plus breaking news in san francisco, a tense police encounter that leads to an armed robbery suspect dead. the place that police say that that suspect was hiding.

no problems north through morgan hill or gilroy. some folks have a longer commute than you. over here santa cruz a smooth drive. these folks have a nice commute as well. out of the altamonte pass a little slowing and more slowing past grant line road. the dublin interchange moves well. here is the tri-valley shaping up on schedule and the bay bridge same thing. we look like we have the metering lights turned on. they just filled in all the cash lanes a few minutes ago. we will continue with the coverage of breaking news out of san francisco. this was a violent armed robbery turning to a deadly officer-involved shooting all playing out at the heart of the mission district late last night. >> "today in the bay's" pete suratos joins us live at the scene. this is pretty intense moments for officers. we're learning the suspect was reportedly hiding inside of the trunk of the car before that shooting. >> reporter: yeah, that's at least what we're hearing at this point. i can tell you we just saw the medical examiner drive by the scene on 22nd and capp not too long ago.

the suspect was apparently shot and killed inside of the trunk of their car. i want to show you guys the scene behind me. still an active scene in the mission district as that car that was involved in all of this. according to san francisco police they were flagged down for help by two victims in an armed robbery just after 10:30 p.m. in this area. the victims gave a car description of the suspects which police found a few blocks away. they ordered the suspects to get out of the car and police say that the driver and a female suspect complied and were detained, but officers noticed the trunk of the car was open and in that trunk was the other suspect. now, while trying to detain the suspect that's when the officer-involved shooting took place. they did remove that suspect from the trunk, gave medical aid to that suspect but the suspect was pronounced dead on the scene. let's take you guys back out here live. you see the scene down here, we are on capp street, you've got police down there and you've got

to believe that at least at this time you've got the car there that was involved in this still there in that area. now, i want to point out police say that a handgun was located in the trunk of the car but we are still trying to piece together the details as far as if that suspect pointed the gun at that officer. we will follow this and bring you guys more details in the next hour. live in san francisco, pete suratos for "today in the bay." we've got additional details as well this morning. this is, in fact, the second high profile shooting involving sfpd this year. last month police say seven officers fired 65 rounds into an rv, you may remember that dramatic footage of the encounter caught on police body cameras. we'll show it again. take a listen. somewhat hard to fathom those rounds go on and on. sfpd say a homicide suspect had

fired two shots from inside the rv near mission bay. this is, in fact, body camera video of the shooting. the suspect lived and faces murder and attempted murder charges. we look back through police data overnight, there were three officer-involved shootings in 2016 and there were twice as many in 2017. frustrated over contract negotiations, teachers in pittsburg will make their concerns known today. laura. >> yeah, i could take it from here. an unusual shot but the news goes on. they plan to rally after school before heading to tonight's school board meeting. a union representing pittsburg unified schoolteachers is saying the district isn't offering any raises and talks have stalled. both sides are expected to meet with a mediator later this month. the search for a missing robot at a high school in the south bay. good news to report for the team this morning. the robot worth about $50,000

after a new report found pedestrian deaths are up over 27% over the past ten years. california's roads are among the most deadliest. the good news here our research overnight shows that car versus pedestrian incidents in the state were down nearly 20%. watch out for all those walkers and even bike riders out there. and a reminder if you are on a bike or walking you are not supposed to be on the freeways at all. this is just a note for drivers to be extra careful. over here we're looking forward these freeways and the speed sensors look great. starting to see slowing in patches. we see a little slowing 280 toward the end of the extension northbound but southbound around mariposa o word of a boat on a trailer, presumably it was attached to a truck but that is not there anyer no. chp will try to get that off of the roadway. that's just as 280 begins its southbound commute out of san francisco. the bay bridge backup has started.

looking beautiful. let's take a look at the next three days in kirkwood. that shot is actually a shot of kirkwood, friday can expect to see some snow, check the road conditions. we could see some of those showers carry over into saturday and maybe even sunday. we have a lot of rain on the way. back to you. coming up next on "today in the bay," construction concerns. >> it's really tough to deliver product at those lower price points. >> we investigate the dangerous consequences of the luxury apartment boom not just here in the bay area but across the country. and a porn star says this morning she is ready to talk. we will take a look coming up on "today in the bay."

vianey weather tease good morning. it is 5:43. right now we're dealing with calm, clear conditions. san jose at 51 degrees right now, now, we aren't expecting a major change in temperatures, another warm day, but we are tracking a very active weather pattern that's going to bring rain to the bay area. details coming up. do not be alarmed. this is typical. the first burst of traffic we see right here for the bay shore freeway in san jose as folks travel north of 680 and 280, 101 boggs down right now. we will show you the bigger view and talk about that in case you're unfamiliar. new numbers this morning showing construction prices are driving a surge in luxury apartment development, but as we

know here in the bay area that means fewer affordable housing options. real page now says that apartment construction is at a 40 year high but developers say the increased cost of land and labor are forcing them to charge higher rents to make a profit. >> a 2-by-4 doesn't care whether it's in a luxury building or affordable building, it costs the same. the differential is for the rent. for us to develop an economically feasible project it has to be by its very nature be high end. there are tax breaks for builders to encourage low income housing development but developers say there are too many firms competing for too few credits. a report from rent café last year offered projections for the number of new apartments coming to the bay area. we are looking through it for you and it says that san francisco, oakland, east bay are areas that would see about 5,400 new units in 2017. that report projected 4,400 new
