christine loeber was one of his instructors until a couple years ago. he said he can't understand why she was killed. he says loeber was a delight to be around and she was always optimistic. >> how do you reconcile someone who was working and so passionate working for our nations veterans and then have this happen to her at the hand of someone that she is trying to help. >> dr. jen gonzales was a noted expert in the treatment of ptsd, she was nearly seven months pregnant. before coming to the pathway home dr. jen golick worked at a north bay mental health and teen substance abuse treatment. all three of the women dedicated their lives to treating veterans and helping them get reacquainted with civilian life after returning from war. a go fund me page has been created for dr. jennifer gonzales. that is a picture of her with her husband on their wedding day

it in the army and everything. >> i'm hoping the awareness is heightened that there's more -- there will be more for the veterans. >> reporter: in yountville, sharon katsuda, nbc bay area news. albert wong suffered from ptsd, posttraumatic stress disorder, the veterans home in yountville specializes in helping veterans with that issue. it has had a profound impact on society. according to ptsd united 70% of adults in the united states have experienced some type of traumatic event at least once in their lives. that adds up to about 223 million people. up to 20% of those people go on to develop ptsd, that means roughly 44 million americans who were or are struggling with ptsd. we have been following this story both on air and online. we're monitoring all the developments and you can stay up to date on nbcbayarea.com. turning to other news now, a shooting investigation is under way right now in the east bay. concord police shot a man, they

criminals. okay? not for american criminals. >> the trump administration is suing california for its sanctuary state status. the president was in pennsylvania to endorse republican rick saccone, he's running for congress in next week's special elections. mr. trump also talked about the media, new steel tariffs and his own reelection in 2020. the nra has filed a federal lawsuit against florida just a day after the state passed a new gun control law. the lawsuit is challenging florida's decision to raise the legal age to buy a rifle from 18 to 21. the nra released a statement calling the law an of a front to the second amendment. this comes nearly a month after a 19-year-old gunned down 17 people at a florida high school. demonstrators marching in support of the victims reacted to the new law. >> i hope that a bunch of other states follow through, if not every single state. >> florida corner rick scott had an a plus rating with the nra before he signed that law. still ahead on "today in the

and you are looking live at the richmond-san rafael bridge. remember we were just showing you the bay bridge toll plaza and talk being all that fog. yep, here is another shot of the microclimate in the bay area. visibility down to zero in some places as rob was mentioning earlier this morning and he will probably be back with a look at that map, but things will clear up ahead of some major showers this week ahead. a fixture no more, a historic but couldn't verse statue was removed from san jose city hall. the christopher columbus statue was moved yesterday to the

italian american heritage foundation in san jose. it has been a fixture in city hall since the 1950s, however, recently a mexican american activist group has been pushing for its removal saying the statue is a reminder of genocide, slavery and colonization. city leaders voted last month to have it taken away. a little bit less sleep this morning, an hour less sleep as we spring forward an hour for daylight saving time. in the world of smart technology most of our clocks and phones have adjusted automatically, but at stanford one clock still runs like it's 1899. "today in the bay's" bob redell reports. >> reporter: at his young age michael hazard has already realized father time can be a crank. sensitive to moisture and humidity and occasionally imprecise. >> what do you guys do now. >> it was five seconds early. >> reporter: sometimes off by a minute over a period of four days.

>> i don't think having an appreciation for this machine means that i'm obsessed with time. it's more from the simplicity of the different components being merged together into something that can do such an impressive thing. >> reporter: what's impressive is that this seth thomas clock commissioned in 1899 is still running. the 1906 earthquake nearly destroyed it. today it's atop this modern structure in the heart of campus, always reminder students that they might be late for class. three times a week hazard volunteers to wind the weights that power this clock to keep the gears tic-tocking to the right tempo. this morning, however, the stanford clock is off because of normal weather conditions and needs to be recalibrated. >> and you do this with your iphone. >> yes, it's more accurate than a watch. >> reporter: by stopping the pendulum for exactly eight seconds.

this computer science major and his apprentice will stop the clock again, this time for 23 hours to spring ahead those 60 minutes, making sure this analog masterpiece keeps pace in our world of ones and zeros. >> you have this clock that's just this not random but seemingly random set of gears in different places that somehow combine to make a clock that runs on time. and there's actually some chance that you can understand this. >> reporter: at stanford, bob rede redell. >> and that's bob -- just so you know he's just fine after that was brought to you the world of special effects. rob mayeda here for vianey arana. you have quite the forecast ahead for us. >> yeah, today the timing works good for your weekend plans today other than the fog in the afternoon, it will be hazy, pretty mild, but the problem

this morning that visibility reduced at times literally driving through the clouds across the golden gate bridge, misty skies there. currently our temperatures with the cloud cover not too chilly, 48 degrees. out around dublin, parts of the tri-valley you can waking up to low 40s this morning, san jose that's a pretty mild start. 53 degrees, overcast skies eventually hazy sunshine but before we get there look at the visibility, less than a quarter mile in concord, zero at half-moon bay and a quarter mile visibility napa into santa rosa. once these clouds begin to lift by the afternoon we will begin to see our temperatures climbing into the upper 60s and probably a chance of seeing temperatures getting closer to 70 degrees by the afternoon. better odds of that around san jose and livermore. 60s and mid 60s from the coast to san francisco and into the north bay. get ready for rather big changes showing up as we get towards tomorrow. right now really nothing showing up on our radar locally. again, the rain producing clouds offshore and one of the things we will begin to see during the day today will be maybe some

high clouds approaching around sunset. notice by the time we get into monday morning mostly cloudy with a chance of a few light rain showers in the north bay. as we head towards the evening, 4:00 to about 9:00, we begin to see the showers move on through and for monday into tuesday looks like the most widespread and moderate rain will come in looks like for the first half of that tuesday morning commute and then we're going to catch a break. this is not a case of nonstop rain, we're going to get plenty of breaks in between. tuesday evening partial clearing as that first system starts to move on out. winds will have to watch for monday, not too windy to wraup up the weekend but monday night may see wind advisories going up around 11:00 on monday. our rain totals at least to start i think monday's weather story is going to be more about the wind as you can see by 11:00, rain totals not all that impressive, but that system that comes through early tuesday morning starts to bring the rain totals closer to a half inch in the bay area and higher totals in the santa cruz mountains and

north bay hills. that's the monday to tuesday part of this weather event. as we get into wednesday scattered showers and it looks like the heaviest rain out of the next five to six days arrives late thursday into friday along with cooler air which will make things interesting. with he could have a chance of thunder showers which means a chance of hail but could also mean late friday or saturday we may see snow levels lower than close to 3,500 feet. it will be progressively cooler throughout the week and next weekend. we will start off with showers and trend drier as we get into sunday. by the time you add everything up for the bay area looks like we will see probably about one to three inches of rain from monday through saturday as all these periods of rain add up, but for the sierra that's impressive. that's how much snow we could see by the end of the week, possibly four to five feet of snow which would be great as the sierra snow back is 48% of average. if we can get that we may see the percentages go up closer to 45 to 50% of average.

for this late in the season to get that much snow is a nice sign of things to come as we go through the forecast. as you see there, the seven-day forecast had some periods of lane, again, the heaviest rain will likely be tuesday morning and then again on thursday and stay tuned next weekend, could see another round of low snow levels around the bay area. vicky? >> thank you so much. you're watching "today in the bay." up next, a new warning this tax season. hackers are targeting tax firms. how the irs is fighting back to protect your information. waitin

deadline for congress to act march 5th was president donald trump's self-imposed deadline for congress to act on

daca, the deferred action for childhood arrivals program. that date has come and gone without congressional action or an extension of the deadline by president trump. we sat down with nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston and started by asking larry what is the status of daca? >> for the moment, daca is in limbo and i mean just that. recently two federal district court judges separately ruled that the trump administration couldn't end dhaka without giving residents proper notice and other constitutional guarantees. so the trump administration then asked the u.s. supreme court to overturn that district court decision, both of them, and allow daca to expire, but the supreme court rarely acts on a district court decision without an issue first going to the next level, the u.s. court of appe s appeals. so the justices told the trump administration to take their case there. that makes it likely, vicky, that the u.s. supreme court won't decide the daca -- won't

decide if president trump can end the daca program until fall at the earliest. >> fall. so we are in spring right now. we are talking about 800,000 people who are affected by this daca problem. so what do they do while we are in limbo and in the meantime? >> we say fall at the earliest, it could be a year from june because it takes the court that long sometimes to consider these things. yeah, almost all daca residents work and are school in renewable two-rear permits. the district court decisions provide that these ves dents can apply for renewals as their permits expire, but bear in mind this is a temporary fix assuming that the supreme court eventually agrees to hear the case. meanwhile daca residents live in uncertainty to your question. some have left school because of their fear of deportation. others have gone underground because they are unaware of the judicial process. this issue is critically

important here in california because of those 800,000 daca residents you talked b 200,000 are right here in california, far more than any other state. >> looking ahead, what are the prospects for ending this deadlock over daca. >> there are two major possibilities here, it may be that congress and president trump finally reach agreement on a daca solution. for that to happen the president has insisted on fully funding the $25 billion boarding wall, ending family unions sometimes described as chain migration and revising the visa program that currently treats applicants from poor countries the same as applicants from wealthy countries. democrats have said that's too much and they've been unwilling to pay that price. should the democrats take control of one or maybe both chambers of commerce in november, watch out, then negotiations might produce a different outcome. >> so that's one possibility. you mentioned there are two. what is the other? >> the us supreme court. the u.s. supreme court could break the log jam.

should the justices hear the case they may side with the president, though. remember, after all if daca was created as an executive order by president barack obama why shouldn't trump be able to end the program with his own executive order? but the justices hay take a more nuanced position, agreeing with lower courts that the program isn't end without specific procedural protections for daca residents who are applying for renew renewal. that decision in that direction could keep the program in limbo for at least another year, two or maybe even three. >> and these are years that are affecting people's lives. these are futures that are being affected. you talked about people leaving school, people leaving their jobs, people going underground. what do you anticipate and what does it look like over these next possible two to three years? >> if you are involved with daca it's not pretty. that's all there is to it. they're likely to remain in an uncertain world for who knows how long. daca children may have their own american born children, american

born, by the way, who are automatically u.s. citizens. as time goes by those numbers are likely to grow which will further complicate the issue over time. so for now there's no resolution in sight. day by day, week by week, month after month as these people await to learn their fate. >> larry, thank you for your insight on this. stay with us, we will have a last look at weather right after this break.

control of a fire at a commercial building. it houses the building called exclusively doors incorporated. we're being told this fire broke out just before 5:00 this morning at 110 corporate place road. officials say it is still burning out of control. five people were living in an apartment above the building, but they all escaped without injury. we turn now to meteorologist rob mayeda for a last look at the weather. >> this morning the big story is the fog in which you can't see for your golden gate bridge commute right now. misty skies, temperatures in the upper 40s around san francisco. the clouds not necessarily at ground level at least around downtown san jose where it's currently 53 degrees, but reduced visibilities down to a quarter mile. san francisco, oakland, concord, napa and santa rosa and less than a quarter mile out at the coast. eventually today hazy sunshine and patchy low clouds closer to san francisco with high temperatures today eventually climbing into the mid 60s, closer to san francisco and half-moon bay, inland spots like

san jose will have a chance of getting close to 70 with that hazy sunshine. today no real issues weatherwise other than the fog this morning, but things begin to change around this time tomorrow morning. our mobile doppler radar not finding any rain right now even though we have clouds. right now it's fog. here is the rain producing cloud cover which is still offshore. we will see some of this approaching later on tonight as we see increasing high clouds late in the day. monday morning's commute might have a few light rain showers in the north bay and by 4:00 to 9:00 now we are beginning to see more rain come on through. the rain part of the first rain coming in mostly calling around 11:00 monday night to 5:00 a.m. tuesday. so tuesday morning's commute very likely you will be dealing with rain at times. notice what happens into the afternoon, we catch a break. this is not nonstop rain, we will get plenty of sunny breaks in between the bands of rain. more opportunities for rain wednesday, thursday, friday, even into saturday. another thing to watch toward

monday night notice the wind sheeds picking up, could see wind advisories for the hills and coast monday evening and overnight into tuesday morning. rainfall between now and 11:00 monday, these totals not all that impressive to start, you fok for in the rain we will see tuesday morning. two-day rain totals closer to a half inch to almost an inch over 48 hours. behind this system on tuesday we have another batch of rain coming through on wednesday and likely, like tuesday, wednesday afternoon into wednesday evening we will catch a bit of a break from the rain. then the next band will show up midday thursday into friday, this may end up being the heaviest rain we see this week with the strongest looking of these storms coming in, moving down the coast, bringing in some cooler air so the potential is for some thunder showers and hail, too, for friday into saturday, snow levels could be as low as 3500 feet. when you add everything up from monday to saturday bay area rainfall totals could be close to one to three inches of rain, which is good news here and for

the sierra where the statewide snow pack is 38% of average check out the potential for snowfall between now and next saturday, we might add 15% to that sierra snow pack if those numbers come through. we get a nice heavy snowfall for the sierra, obviously that will cause travel issues heading to the high country and around the bay area off and on at times dealing with rain at times, i think that tuesday morning commute we will be containeding with heavy rain at times and again thursday into friday. >> all that snow, avalanche concerns? >> very likely. >> it is exciting when we saw the hail, i've learned so much about all this weather.
