"today in the bay" continues right now. >> good morning, thanks for allowing us to be part of your morning. >> i'm laura garcia. let's check the forecast. little cloudy start and cool. but it's going to be a great weekend. >> we'll have an amazing weekend, still the nice weather we've had a few changes here and there. more clouds moving in tomorrow. as you get out the door this mo morning, low to mid-50s all around the bay area. then the morning drive through the south bay we'll see clouds moving in. it will be in the mid- 50s through 8:00 and look how quickly it warms up. 76 by 2:00 today. we'll have a warm finish to the week and we'll talk about the weekend coming up. mike, you have to big changes for drivers. >> one is expected, the bay bridge. it's later than we expected and finally just in the last couple of minutes we've seen all of the

lanes back up past the 880 overcrossing. that's what you see at the toll plaza and heading towards san francisco. now north of there, it's fine getting over across the richmond/san rafael bridge. a little slowing as you approach the san quinton side but on the north bay side we have north 101 at 580 and reports of a crash which may be blocking your right lane as you travel north, a couple of vehicles got into a fender bender there. sounds like nothing more but i'll track that. it's counter commute and does affect folks out of mare rip and towards richmond. meanwhile the rest of the bay shows a smooth flow of traffic and slowing for san jose, typical of northbound north of 680. >> thank you very much. have you heard what's developing this morning? hundreds of people in hawaii out of their homes evacuated because the kilauea volcano is erupting, this is dramatic drone video showing lava flowing out of the volcano engulfing everything in its path. it's actually happening on the

eastern side of hawaii aesz big island. see that there. the hawaii national park. people in the bay area are very concerned as well, it's such a popular destination. kris sanchez live at sjc with i am paktd it could have and already having on travelers. good morning, kris. >> reporter: hi there, laura, alaska airlines which is here at terminal b in san jose behind me, they have a direct flight to the island where that volcano is erupting right now. but fortunately that nonstop flight does not run today. if you have a flight arranged on hawaiian airlines, you'll want to call ahead. the airline said effective immediately travelers with tickets to or from hilo or kona can change travel plans for free. most other airlines including american and united made no changes. as travelers here at home getting up and getting ready this morning, some of them

didn't even know the kilauea was ee rumtirupti erupting, sending lava 100 feet in the air. at this point the air national guard is helping to evacuate some 1500 people away from that danger zone and in the last half hour we talked with travelers heading to mau we who say they'll be thinking about it. >> it's scary and if you watch on tv and never think you're going to be participating in it or be involved, you hope you're going on vacation then get there and hope that people haven't lost their lives and homes. >> you will be near the danger zone. >> i hope not to. i don't expect to. >> no it is a dramatic sight. the drone video shows the crack where the magma is coming out. before the eruption there were hundreds of small earthquakes over the last week include gs a 5.0. now, on the "today" show this morning, hoda kotb and savannah

guthrie talk with a farmer on the volcano itself. he had to leave his farm along with 30 workers and didperspect moving disaster but after all mother nature is in charge. >> so true there, kris, thank you. 6:04. also developing, a north bay community reeling after a deadly shooting and standoff and evacuation. we covered this as breaking news yesterday afternoon. this is happening in mill valley. two people are dead and another person is in critical condition this morning. "today in the bay" pete suratos is live at the scene. do we know anything about a possible motive here? >> yeah, good morning to you, marcus, not at this point. at least what we're hearing from marin county sheriffs, they just sent out a tweet and plan to send a press release later. as you can see behind me here, mill valley, the scene is all clear but it was a much different scene several hours

ago. let's show viewers that video. you can see s.w.a.t. team members entering this area following that deadly shooting. now investigators say the 80-year-old gunman in all of this shot a man and woman in an apartment complex in this area where we're standing around 3:30 p.m. yesterday. that woman died from those injuries and that man the male victim is now in critical condition. crews are here on the scene when it was all unfolding and spoke with neighbors about the scary scene and one witness saw one of those officers here running with the female victim over his shoulder trying to get her medical help. >> i see a chp officer running down the street with an unconscious woman like draped over his shoulder. and she's kind of like flopping over his shoulder as he's running with her and puts her in an ambulance. >> the kbi shot our landlord and killed his daughter. >> reporter: deputies had to evacuate neighbors who were running for safety during all of

this. others in mill valley received an active shooter alert at 3:30, steling them to stay in side but the shelter in place was lifted when the suspected gunman was found dead in an apartment. the marin county sheriff's department is the agency handling this investigation and not releasing the name of the victim or shooter at this time. we're live in mill valley, pete suratos "today in the bay." >> certainly a scary situation there. thank you. >> happening today, president trump meets with gun supporters in dallas where some 80,000 people will attend the nra's annual convention. it's going to be president trump's fourth year appearing there but there is one difference this time around. following the parkland school shooting in february, dozens of companies cut ties with the nra. in the meantime the president is facing a credibility crisis after statements made by his new attorney rudy giuliani. admitted he reimbursed a $130,000 payment to michael

cohen in connection to the stormy daniels. >> president trump's acknowledgement of reimbursement and giuliani's reacknowledgem t reacknowledgement, that's an acknowledgement of acknowledgement on the president's part. >> giuliani insists that payment to daniels had no connection to campaign funds. 6:07. new details for you now on what happened before police happened geazy in sweden. a fan tried to get a foet photo he said no and the fan took a few photos anyway and one of the bodyguards smashed that phone and big fight started. as we told you at 5:00 yesterday, during that fight g-eazy punched a security guard and had cocaine in his pocket during that fight. >> if you can get yourself to wake up extra early tomorrow morning and look sky ward you may even catch a glimpse of

crash. >> you say you posted a picture of yourself as chewbacca. >> i did. >> making sure the audio is working. we're looking at the smooth drive, speed sensors unrupted and the crash is northbound 101 approaching the transition to the richmond bridge. they should have all lanes cleared -- that's san jose, moves smoothly and so did the san rafael shot. if you bring cash you can get over here and make your way across the westbound size. i'll check to see if there's anything going on at the toll plaza because clearly that is not moving. fast track should be. give me a couple of seconds and meanwhile the traffic flow itself looks pretty good but slowing showing up across the westbound side. we may have a new crash in your commute direction. the rest of the bay shows a smooth drive right now. minler fender benders through oakland, not a problem for the nimitz. >> coming up next, a tiny house for a family who used to call a

look at tesla. tesla stocks fell hard. in fact, it's worse day in more than a month. if you watch "today in the bay" on thursday, you knew that was coming. as for jobs, solidly good news. the unemployment rate falls to 3.9% in april. it's not been that low since december of the year 2000. jobs added, 164,000. little fewer than we expected and less than the monthly average. president trump is not tweeted about the new numbers but did tweet a general message early this morning because jobs in the u.s. are doing so well americans receiving unemployment aid is at the lowest since 1973. great. now the president doesn't get to see the jobs numbers any earlier than you do, we expect he'll tweet out about that. speaking of twitter, twitter says you should change your pass word. it says after a bug in the system caused it to store people's pass words in plain text. now the passwords never got out but they were stored improperly.

extreme wealth. >> and sometimes its generosity gets overlooked. until a few days ago andrew albright and his 5-year-old daughter were living out of their van. well today they are proud owners of a brand-new tiny house. mike brock brought this trailer home to the albrights and let's him park it on his property there in boulder creek. before the father and daughter were sleeping overnight in a cold dark van. now andrew and his daughter have a place to sleep and all of the features comforts. >> and our -- never had somebody put their neck out like this before. and it just brings hope, which brings hope to you. >> hopefully we're one step away from homelessness. if i lost my job or got a terminal illness, got an addiction, whether it's prescription or not, i would be homeless also.

>> that i do not know. >> if you have seen the avengers, you definitely would get that. maybe that's what you'll do this weekend. we're going to have great weather. it will be hard to stay inside. we're starting out with cloudy skies. here's a live look outside in solo, you couldn't see the top floors. if you're on your way to work there, you won't be able to see out of the top floors of the building but as we get a look at our school day forecast, let's head out the door in oakland. it's going to be mostly cloudy, only low 50s and going to be breezy too, starting out the day as we go into the afternoon, it's going to feel much more comfortable and mid-60s as you're picking them up from school and going to be a beautiful day. let's go to the high temperatures for the afternoon. loss gatos up to 77 degrees and 81 in danville. and in fremont today, expect a high of 78 degrees. we'll be in the upper 50s in half moon bay. you'll struggle to warm up there

hope for on a friday. more traffic hits the roads but a little slowing through san jose. hayward slowing started to clear over the last few minutes and contra costa county, westbound slows a bit towards 242. no big surprises around willow pass road and coming off the carquinez bridge, the upper east shore is just great. a fender bender at the bridge but no problem for lanes. live camera in oakland shows slowing with something going on about high street. looks tlik there was a crash that moved off the freeway. this is a great drive. little haze but that's not the problem. north bay southbound 101 shows an easy dry through san rafael, you saw from the sensors no delay in novato down to the golden gate bridge. back to you. >> coming up next here on "today in the bay," going too far. the steps a high school has taken to apologize after a student who uses a wheelchair was named most accident prone.

one seemed to be off the charts. jeff chatter ton took his dodge in for minor work. when he picked up his challenger, the trip computer said someone had driven in 20 miles. >> i thought that seemed pretty excessive for something i describe as something that you could reproduce in a parking lot. >> that's not all. jeff says the trip computer also indicated someone drove his car more than 100 miles an hour. tonight at 11:00, what the dealer did after we spoke up for jeff. plus, why we were surprised when we looked up the mechanic's license number. i'm confident the things we learned will many power you for the next trip to the shop. if you have a consumer complaint, please call us or nbcbayarea.com/responds. i'll see you again tonight at 11:00. thank you very much, chris. new this morning, one illinois high school doing some damage control after mocking a student

tank... tonight )s game five between the sharks and the golden knights is in vegas.

right now, taking a live look at the shark tank. series ties now at two games apiece. >> can't wait to see the rest. >> should be a good weekend. >> thanks for joining us, i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington. let's go to kari hall to get us out the door this morning. >> get yourself ready too. we have some cool temperatures starting out. let's go to livermore for the school day forecast. a lot of clouds as you wake up and look out the window and heading out the door. it's going to be in the low 50s and look how fast it warms up. our temperatures go from 50 to 76 degrees by early afternoon. we're not going to stop there. we're going to head to the lower 80s for morgan hill. 83 in concord and 76 in santa rosa, san francisco keeps the low 60s and clouds lingering throughout the morning. and mike, you're still looking at the pretty good friday commute. >> and pretty good combined with friday is great.

6:31, almost 6:32. we'll watch the clock change. a little change for san jose, slight build for 101 approaching tully. that's kind of it. hayward hasn't show any problems. a live look the reason for the lighter backup towards the bay bridge, the berkeley curve is so light, not many cars on the roads but the metering lights are still on. approaching the toll plaza for the bay bridge. on the eother side, a nice ligh flow through palo alto. you'll find more congestion just starting foster city and san mateo. back to you, laura. >> thank you very much. 6:32 right now. looking live at the sap center, the sharks playoff run is the talk of the town. the company that owns the team is making headlines this morning for a different reason. suing over b.a.r.t.'s extension to the south bay. we're already hearing from the team this morning. bob redell is live to explain why they are so upset. good morning, bob.

>> good morning to you, laura. the sharks sports entertainment company is upset over how the construction of the b.a.r.t. subway underneath santa clara street will disrumt the events here at the sap center and two, parking. the company does not believe the valley transportation authority which is managing the b.a.r.t. project, does not believe the vta adequately planned to make up for lost parking spots when the b.a.r.t. station is built, which could be a huge problem for thousands who come to the sap center. yesterday afternoon, the sharks sports company filed a lawsuit in santa clara county against the vta, demanding they immediately stop work on this project until it addresses the parking and construction issues. you can see in the statement on the tv screen that sharks say they strongly support the b.a.r.t. project through downtown san jose and they've been pushing vta for two years to work with them on these issues without success. quote, we did not take this

decision lightly, unquote. we did reach out to the v.t.a. and they responded saying they will not be commenting on this lawsuit. you might recall that it was just about a week ago that b.a.r.t. approved the plan to extend into downtown san jose and santa clara using a single bore tunnel instead of double bore. now it's up to the vta to get the $1$1.5 billion to cover the project estimated to run about $4.7 billion. the east bay times points out the timing of this lawsuit is not necessarily terrific for the vta because uncle sam does take into account local opposition when considering whether or not to give out money for projects like this. reporting live here in san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> one to follow. thank you, bob. 6:34. a san jose neighborhood is on the lookout for a possible prowler. take a look here. you can see the outline of the person there. this is really scary for people living in willow glen.

they say this man you see there in the surveillance video was actually trying to peek through a window. the owner of the home said that was his daughter's room and this was happening at 4:00 in the morning on tuesday. neighbors called police. >> within the last few years it's likely the berkeley historic people's park will be less about people and more for certain people as in people who live in brand-new housing there. uc leaders yesterday announced a radical overhaul of people's park. it's of course a park made famous around the world during the free speech movement and still a place where people gather but times have changed. the park is known for petty crimes and protest and a lot of drugs as well. it desperately needs housing. for now the plan calls for a five story student housing facility and apartments to house the homeless. >> commuters listen up, if you like to cut it close, starting monday, three capitol corridor

runs will adjust by five minutes. one train out of auburn will leave five minutes earlier than its current time two eastbound lines will start five minutes later. make sure you check to see how this affects your commute. >> look at this video this morning. a reverse goldilocks some people in north lake tahoe came home to find a bear in the kitchen on top of the kitchen island. the call for help and here's what happened, the guy in the window, that was a deputy, trying to get the animal's attention through the window but the furry bandit was too busy feasting on fruit and bread. he had to go inside and chase that bear out of the house. luckily no one was hurt and the bear i guess didn't really even damage anything. but this is the time of year when the bears come out to play. officers say they wake up hungry and in search of food and you're supposed to lock it away in a bear proof container but what

happens when they get in your house, mike? >> i would think the house -- the structure might squall tie -- >> lock the doors, i've seen them open car doors. >> they knew the spare key was bee neej the mat. no hidden slow downs, great friday drive. we're watching increased volume coming into concord and bay point. no big surprises for contra costa county and walnut xrecree interchange is great. marcus talked about a slight change in your schedule monday for capitol corridor. keep that in mind if you take that from the central valvalley. the golden gate bridge is a beautiful light ride and things will get busier towards midday with a lot of pedestrian traffic as well. folks like to go there. great spots -- >> bucket list for people, to run across that bridge.

>> i'll do it this weekend. >> that's right. we have some great weather for your mom. it won't be all clear and sunny the whole weekend, we're going to keep the comfortable weather and the coast will be at 63 degrees, upper 70s for the inland areas and by the way a comfortable 70 degrees but once again we'll have more clouds mixing in. and then on sunday, slightly cooler for the inland areas and very comfortable but if you're thinking of making it a beach weekend, head's up it's going to be a cool one. only 62 degrees. sure you have a nice warm jacket. cinco de mayo it's going to be great for that. it's going to be mostly cloudy and the sun will peek out in the low 60s and it will be breezy too as we go throughout the day. then we'll wrap up the weekend with silicon valley bikes happening in history park and beautiful weather for that but a touch warmer as we reach in the low 70s in the middle of the afternoon. we'll reach that high temperature at about 2:00. if you're going to the see raer this weekend, this is a live

look at squaw valley this morning. absolutely gorgeous as we start out this friday. we're going to see mostly sunny skies up to 64 degrees. mostly cloudy tomorrow but still no snow and you shouldn't have issues getting there and back. that snow is melting, you better get there soon. going to russian river valley, today will be the warmest day, 72 degrees and upper 60s for the rest of the weekend with partly cloudy skies. the fog will be rolling along the coast line and also in monterey for the weekend. we'll see that as we go into at least the morning hours with some times of sunshine for the afternoon and expect those highs to only make it in the low 60s all weekend long. going for a hike in muir woods, it's going to be low 60s there as well. overall it's going to be a great weekend for that or whatever you have planned around the bay area. i know you're trying to make it through your friday. we'll also look at today's temperature trend coming up in three minutes. >> thanks, kari.

6:39, coming up next on "today in the bay," plants stolen from a preschool garden. steps being taken to reassure the young students. get ready to bounce and tumble and play. we're live in the south bay taking you inside the world's largest bounce house. white house staff say they were astonished to hear what rudy giuliani had to say. >> down, down, down with the nasdaq and dow as you can see right now. the dow actually down 100 points but apple bucks that trend as buffett increases stake. you're watching "today in the bay."

it's 6:43. it's a cloudy start but it's going to warm up and clear out throughout the day. here's a live look outside in san jose. let's go to sunnyvale and check out the temperature trend in the mid-50s through 8:00 and then we'll see more sunshine at 9:00. it does warm up into the low 70s by 1:00 and we continue to go up from there. it's going to be a warm friday but what about the weekend? we'll see more clouds. i'll have more on that coming up in about five minutes. >> kari, no clouds but a little gray for this shot as sun still coming up in fremont. 880 southbound, no slowing past the truck scales. a great drive. we'll give you the bigger look coming up. thanks, mike and karrkari.

this is a disappointing discovery in concord, every vegetable in the garden at saint michael's christian preschool was stolen. concord police officers came out to campus yesterday to tell the students they are searching for the bad guys. >> well, 6:44, we all like a clean place to call home and if antioch is home for you, this is injure chance to spiff up the community. the police department heading up its 89th cleanup event. and tomorrow's meeting takes place at bellshaw elementary school. volunteers will help pick up the trash dumped that neighborhood surrounding the school and that map you here shows the area they are going to focus on all happening from 9:00 to 11:00 in the morning. >> there you go. 6:44, we've been asking you to send us questions you'd like candidates to governor to answer them. it's going to happen during our live debate next week and we're getting a lot of great

questions. >> you still have time to submit those questions and it really could be one that we ask live here on nbc bay area during that debate. use the #cagovdebate or go to our facebook page and write the question now. we're partnering with the silicon valley community organization and this will air lives on nbc and telemun do stations across california. chuck todd will moderate. >> chuck todd is sharing his "meet the press" coffee mug with us. that's usually what i do when i'm watching "meet the press," or "press here" with scott mcgrew. >> the president says that we are under siege this morning. >> from refugees in the caravan near dag san diego. >> i've got a "press here" mug i

sarah huckabee sanders in a very awkward position. she said first the president was aunaware of payments then had no idea where the source of the money was. are you lying or were you in the dark? she said what many in the white house say, they found out when you found out. >> to clarify, when did you specifically know that the president repaid mr. cohen for the $130,000, you personally? >> the first awareness i had was during the interview last night. >> now one other side note, the white house says it can't confirm what he said that americans held by north korea would be released, nor can it answer why giuliani would even know that. he does not have security clearance. we know giuliani was wrong about one detail. he said they would be released yesterday and they were not. it's not clear why giuliani who does not represent american foreign policy would be in the business of making such an announcement anyway. the president is on his way to
