steal money i kick them out of the district and she turned it into a circus. >> there was only one reason why i did this, is because i fear for my physical well-being. >> reporter: now at the very last school board meeting, tran had to appear via teleconference. his seat was empty because he's not allowed to be in the same room as the superintendent during this temporary restraining order. the meeting right after that court date, the september 13th meeting had to be canceled because there was no quorum, there were not enough board members in attendance. this is affecting school board business. we'll have to see what happens today as the two sides head back to court. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> hopefully they can find a resolution that everyone can agree with. thank you, kris. >> it 6:03 today. quinn boyer was shot and killed five years ago in the oakland hills, it happened during a botched robbery by a

that scene after the men triggered an alarm. 6:04, our other top story this morning, new developments following this weekend's horrific mass shooting at a pittsburgh, pennsylvania, synagogue. 11 people were killed. in a moment, more on what investigators found about the suspect overnight. but first, faith communities across the country and right here in the bay area trying to help people manage through the shock and sadness. during a memorial service in tiburon, a rabbi asked each group to stand with their candle and announce themselves one by one. the aim was to show solidarity in the face of such a painful and gruesome attack on a jewish synagogue. one of the speakers said he's not surprised this happened, because so many other minority communities have also been attacked over the last few years. >> regardless of religion, race, sexual orientation, the ability status, we say you are welcome here. you are not alone. do not let yourself keep on being afraid.

>> several memorial events also being held today in san francisco to commemorate and honor the victims. the man accused of opening fire in the synagogue heads to court for the face time, this as a community comes together to mourn the lives lost, along with six others who are still in the hospital recovering this morning. jay gray is live outside the sanctuary in pittsburgh, where so much unfolded overnight. this is such a tragic story, jay. >> reporter: yes, it's overwhelming, laura. let's talk about the investigation first, the synagogue behind me still locked down at this point, and will be for quite some time, according to investigators, who are gathering physical evidence there. overnight for the first time since at tack, we're hearing from the rabbi who was inside the tree of life at the time of the attack, and we also now are getting a better idea of exactly what the accused gunman said to

law enforcement when he was apprehended here. ♪ memorials overnight in this grieving city, pulled together by its pain. >> we needed to be here, because at times like these, we need community. we need the comfort of each other. we need love, not hate. >> reporter: hate, unleashed federal agents say by 46-year-old robert bowers as he burst through the doors of the tree of life synagogue with an assault rifle and three high-powered pistols. >> i heard what sounded like gunshots, smelled gun powder. >> reporter: when the shooting stopped, 11 were dead, six more, including four police officers, wounded. initial court filings show bowers told arresting officers "they're committing genocide to my people. i just want to kill jews." his social media history is littered with anti-semitic hate speech and includes a cryptic post just before the attack that

reads in part "screw your optics. i'm going in." jeffrey meyer is the rabbi at tree of life. >> my holy place has been defiled. >> reporter: speaking for the first time since the attack, and promising, like so many here -- >> we will rebuild to be a stronger tree, offering a new light. >> reporter: after the darkest. ♪ and likely deadliest attack ever on a jewish community in america. this morning students in all pittsburgh public schools are beginning their day with a moment of silence and reflection to remember and honor the victims of the attack here. laura, just a tough go for this community and so many and will be for quite some time. >> our hearts go out to them. thank you very much, jay, for the latest. savannah guthrie is also

been keeping track especially with what's happening through the tri valley. >> that's right, kari. tracking a crash in dublin and from our live camera we see that react faster than chp is able to radio this in. i just saw all lanes open or it looks like all lanes opened. we had the earlier crash behind the trees. west 580 may be in recovery mode. we'll track this because there's a good backup forming from about isabeltassahara past hacienda. if you are yes headed toward the dublin interchange, expect more traffic headed south on 680 or west over in toward the castro valley area over the dublin grade. that will mean more traffic headed into your typical commutes and drive in toward fremont may get more crowded. delay south on the nimitz expected. the south bay itself very smooth. back to you. >> let's hope it stays that way. thank you, mike. coming up next on "today in the bay," a new way to trade san jose-based ebay's brand new push to change the way you exchange

makes its way through the mexican capital this weekend. hundreds of actors, dancers, acrobats joined giant floats and towering marionettes. each celebration marked with visits to the graves of departed loved ones. great illustration for that is the movie "cocoa." if you haven't seen it. >> i haven't yet. >> some of so of the iconic things that go along, but i'm glad "cocoa" explains why. >> i think so, for a lot of people that didn't know. it's great. >> on my list. a look at the weather today, a nice one today. get out and enjoy it. >> a lot of sunshine and some cooler weather. that's the way we start out this week, but things will change. let's get a look outside right now, as you head out the door around fremont. we have some clear visibility, a light breeze going on, and our temperatures starting out in the low 50s. if you're on your way to the warm springs b.a.r.t. station, it will only be at 51 degrees. you need something nice and warm to start out the day to wear, and then as we go into the

afternoon, it will be so much more comfortable, but we will still have a few clouds mixing in, some of the higher clouds like what we saw yesterday. as you're getting your hair ready for the day, it's going to be a day for a little bit more hair spray, because it is humid, to start, and then we will start out with some breezy winds, turning windy by this afternoon. so you may have some troubles there, just getting things ready to go. as we start out looking at our south bay temperatures in the highs today los gatos headed up to 73 degrees there, as well as 73 in east san jose. for the east bay, a lot of mid-70s here for the inland valleys, and oakland today expect a high of 70 degrees. we'll be up to 70 in palo alto. in daly city, reaching 63. lot of low 60s in san francisco as well. the embarcadero reaching up to 66 degrees and 72 today in mill valley. santa rosa we're looking at a high of 76 degrees. as we will see our winds picking up, we will have an increased fire danger today, so as of

right now, there is a fire weather watch issue, that means that humidity levels will be very clowlow, only 9% to 19%. the areas shaded in yellow will be under the fire weather watch. elevations above 1,000 feet will have some high wind gusts peaking up to 55 miles per hour. we do still have this dry northerly wind coming in today, and then as we go through the week, we'll start to see high pressure moving in, and that's going to shift our wind. the wind flow around high pressure always clockwise, and for us, that brings in offshore wind flow that's going to give us some low humidity, and some gusty winds, and our temperatures will be going up as a result. we are looking at more dry conditions but a few clouds, we can see that right now, right over the bay area. mike, you were checking back in on the tri valley and the recovery. >> recovery mode there for west 580, we talked about that, i showed you the crash. we showed you west 580 over at hacienda. let's take a second and get a view of everyone's commute south
