[ gunfire ] >> holy [ bleep ]! >> reporter: i did speak with that woman who shot the video. she was with her boyfriend when the shots were fired around 2:30 this morning. she saw the white car crash into the fence there at fruitdale and lee avenues. she says it hit a police officer's squad car, another squad car arrived to block in the suspect vehicle and on the video, you can hear what sounds like officers yelling out commands. the witness says the suspect backed into a police car and

that's when the officers opened fire, firing off several rounds there. she is under the impression that the suspect is dead. we have reached out to san jose police. remember, this is christmas morning, but we have yet to cop firm what we believe is an officer-involved shooting. as you can see, a heavy investigation taking place behind me. reporting live in san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> we know you'll get us the latest as soon as you get it. thanks for sticking with us this morning. a fatal stabbing is under investigation in san francisco's mid market neighborhood, happened just after 6:00 last evening an sixth and jesse streets, a few blocks from the popular west hills mall. police say officers responded to the scene and found one person with stab wounds. paramedics tried to save the victim, but were unsuccessful. no motive has been released, no arrests have been made. new video of a rude awakening this morning for a

"closed" signs hang at some national parks and landmarks. the budget standoff is all over funding for the president's border wall. president trump wants nearly $6 billion for the southern border wall. democrats and some republicans are opposed. democrat representative anthony

christmas list found themselves in the rain last night. last night these folks in union square had to dodge raindrops. some say it might have been their punishment for procrastinating. >> "today in the bay's" jean elle is in san francisco, where this christmas eve was a wet adventure. >> reporter: last-minute shoppers hide under umbrellas at union square. on this christmas eve, keeping gifts dry requires some planning. >> i had an umbrella and hoodie, so i didn't get caught. >> reporter: visitors say downpours made for a long, tense drive, but they were determined to experience the magic of the season. >> oh my god, on the way out here, caught in the rain, it took us three hours to reach here, but still it's worth it, seeing the christmas tree. >> merry christmas. >> reporter: in between the raindrops, bubbles filled the air. >> it's raining bubbles, which is exciting. i came here just to see the bubbles.

today is our chance to dry out, so walnut creek will have some mid-40s to start out during the morning, and then look at that, we're at 60 degrees by 1:00 to 2:00 today. great day to get outside as you get ready, maybe going to work this morning, a little extra hair spray needed, it will be windy and high humidity. checking out highs or for this afternoon, los gatos and co cupertino 56 degrees and breezy to start out the day. martinez headed up to 58 degrees and 58 also in half moon bay. 58 on the embarcadero and the north bay, upper 50s there as well. if you're planning to head out to christmas in the park, in downtown san jose, we've got some sunshine, breezy winds, and this time of year really doesn't get better than this, as we'll have comfortable weather and as we look at our forecast for the rest of the week, drying out, but our temperatures will be dropping and we will have the possibility of some freezing temperatures this weekend for the early hours, and then a slight chance of some showers

especially farther to the north on sunday, but the rest of the bay area looks pretty dry. christmas in the books today, and then we'll be heading toward new year's eve by the end of the forecast and we will also wrap up the year with some dry weather. as you get ready to head out this morning, here is a look at 58 580 in dublin. roads are wet and you can see the sheen as the headlights and cars drive past, may be kicking up water but the rain ended and as we look at sensors around the bay area, checking out the traffic maps, we've seen a lot of green indicating roads are flowing smoothly, a lot less people as you get ready to head out and the bridges are flowing withal. no issues about you it may still be windy. the wind advisories still in effect for the south bay, looking at san jose, you can see a little bit of yellow here and there, meaning that it may be slowing down in some spots possibly as you hit some of the puddles and our east bay drive times looking good, westbound 80 from highway 4 to the bay bridge about 14-minute drive for you this morning.

maybe you can leave a little bit later, compared to when you normally do, because you're not going to have any major issues, just slow it down, where you see some water over the roadways, and i'll have a look at our upcoming weather and traffic again for you coming up in a few minutes. >> we'll see you soon, kari, thanks. coming up on "today in the bay," it's a holiday tradition i didn't know about. new orleans helps light up the santa, we'll take you to the christmas eve festivities. >> merry christmas. now go shopping again. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. we'll explain why a trip to the mall sooner rather than later might save you some gift card heartache.

[ gunfire ] >> holy [ bleep ]! >> reporter: we did speak with that woman who shot the video. she says she is with her boyfriend, when the shots were fired, as i mentioned, around 2:30 this morning. she saw a white car crash into the fence of the playground here

at fruitdale and lee avenues, and then hit a police officer squad car. now, another squad car arrived to block in the suspect vehicle according to police, excuse me, according to the witness and on the video, you can hear what sounds like the officers yelling out commands. the witnesses say the suspect then backed up into a police car, and that's when the officers opened fire. as you heard in the video, there were several shots that were fired, and as we are just now confirming with police, one suspect is dead, another suspect is injured. again, it's not clear from police what led up to this interaction with these two people, but as you heard from the witness, it does appear the driver of the suspect vehicle did try to ram at least one police car. reporting live in san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> bob, thank you so much for that update there. 6:33 right now. new for you this morning, an oakland police car is stolen, but then later recovered. the department is confirming that it happened last night. however, we're still working to try to find out where this was taken from, and how that car was

an incoming san francisco supervisor isn't so keen on the idea of the silver and black making the move across the bay. matt hainey took to facebook saying the team's move to at&t park for that one year will be "a slap in the face to oakland." the raiders are retaliating against oakland for filing a lawsuit and allowing the team to play in san francisco would be rewarding them for bad behavior. at 6:36, the bay area holiday tradition that feeds thousands of families every year is happening again. >> the san francisco salvation army gives away a warm meal and volunteers are helping pack up literally a ton of food.

"closed" signs hang at some national parks and landmarks. the budget standoff is all over funding for the president's border wall. incoming white house chief of staff mick mulvaney says the president has backed away from the $5 billion he originally demanded, but that trump is rejecting democrats' $1.3 billion offer for border security because it excludes a wall. despite the shutdown, the national christmas tree in washington, d.c., is back open to the public thanks to the national park funation. visitors are able to see the exhibit. once again, the organization provided enough grant money needed to reopen, operate and manage the site. some areas are still restricted. this morning, governor brown is deciding not to get involved in a high-profile bay area case.

the t-shirt and hatchet handle came from cooper. the governor says he's not taking any sides, and if re-testing the dna does not clear cooper, then the case should be closed. well, new this morning, a southern california mayor is defending his city's decision to destroy old police shooting and internal investigation records. englewood made that decision at a city council meeting earlier this month, the move comes weeks ahead of an implementation of a new state law which could allow the public to access the records. however, englewood's mayor says there's no connection between the law and the city's decision to shred the records before they become public. survivors of the camp fire in butte county are gathering to reflect. >> all right. all right, there you go. >> that was at paradise alliance church last night. for some, this is the very first time seeing one another since
