their own in blue. good morning and thanks so much for joining us. i'm marcus washington. >> and i'm laura garcia. we'll get more to you on that story in a moment. first, we want to check in with kari. dry right now, but late this afternoon, some rain? >> yes, we will see rain moving in once again on this friday, headed into the afternoon. here is a live look outside in san jose, where we start out with our sunnyvale temperatures in the low 50s. we'll get some sun peeking out from behind the clouds, at least early in the day and we'll warm up to 61 degrees by early afternoon. our storm ranger this morning showing that we don't have any rain moving in now, but we have not only one but two storm systems set to move in for the weekend. i'll be tracking that, and details coming up in a few minutes. mike, it's a quiet commute right now. >> it is, kari, a quiet commute on the chp blotter. not a lot to report except for some patches with construction, but no full freeway closures, that's why you see green all over the bay. drive through the east shore freeway shows a 14-minute drive from highway 4 to the bay bridge

where traffic is light, lanes are flowing smoothly. san rafael the difference yesterday, we can clearly see this shot but there's patchy fog drifting around the bay, specifically the north bay with more. we'll see if we can catch that. back to breaking news in yellow county, a davis police officer just weeks on the job killed in the line of duty been. >> and new overnight, the suspect is dead. "today in the bay's" pete suratos is live in davis, as a community in blue pays respect for this very big loss. pete? >> reporter: yes, good morning to you. tragic story with the police officer of the davis police department, talking about 22-year-old natalie corona. we want to show you guys some pictures of this young officer who was killed in the line of duty. we know she started at the davis police department in 2016 as a part-time community service officer and she just finished the academy in july and get this, guys, she just completed her field training just before christmas. she was only on the job for just a few weeks.

i want to show you some new video of the procession, as corona's body was taken from the uc davis medical center, to the yellow county sheriff's office in woodland. let's catch up our viewers on exactly what took place. according to davis police, the shooting happened in downtown davis, just before 7:00 last night. corona was shot while responding to a multicar crash. she was rushed to the uc davis medical center, where she eventually died from her injuries. now this all led to a shelter in place across davis, with uc davis being placed on lockdown, as police searched for a suspect. now, police did eventually find that suspect dead inside of the home, from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. now, here is what corona's fellow officers with the davis police department are saying about this tragic incident. >> i haven't seen anybody work

harder in a part-time capacity than natalie. she's a star in the department. >> reporter: now police went on to say corona was considered to be a rising star in the police department. of course she's passing away at the age of 22, but police say she is survived by her parents at this time. we're live here at the davis police department. s. s. for "today in the bay." >> just thinking about the parents, they have to be devastated. so sad. we have a crew outside the coron coroner's office in woodland where her body was taken. gosh, i can't imagine what the family is feeling. there are law enforcement officers there from across the area. there was a fire truck outside. they've got a flag raised in her honor. no doubt, a lot of tributes will be coming. uc davis shelter in place is lifted. this morning the university released a statement writing "our deepest condolences go out to her family, friends and fellow officers. while details are still unknown, we've learned from the davis police that the suspect is no longer a threat, and we have lifted the shelter in place

request." obviously that was before they knew the gunman killed himself overnight. if a news conference happens during this newscast, if we get any updates, of course, we'll bring them to you. we're also posting the latest developments, as soon as they come into our newsroom, and our crews gathering them in the field, it's all on nbcbayarea.com. in fact, we'll have another live report in our next half hour. 5:04. live look in washington. on capitol hill, today marks day 21 of the federal shutdown. government workers caught in the middle of missing their first payd payday. tomorrow this becomes the longest stalemate in u.s. history, with no resolution in sight to the fight over president trump's border wall. democrats and president trump remain deadlocked. he's hinting more at declaring a national emergency, having the pentagon pay for it with the defense and disaster recovery funds. >> we're not changing our mind. the wall works. >> the funds are set aside for

hurricane cleanup in puerto rico, fire recovery in california, and more. we're told the white house lawyers are working to look at things on the legal justification of how to shift that money to the border. democrats have made it abundantly clear that they would fight the president's declaration every step of the way, and as for that stalemate, it continues in d.c., thousands of federal workers across the country and right here in the bay area don't know how they will pay the rent, mortgages, car notes, and credit card payments. "today in the bay's" bob redell is live for us in mountain view, at moffatt field. nasa workers there are also not getting checks on this payday as well. >> reporter: correct, marcus. you can perhaps see behind me, maybe you can't in the dark, but security guards are still screening visitors here to nasa, but they're deemed to be essential employees and haven't been furloughed during the government shutdown. the people you don't see are the couple thousand of nasa aims

federal employees who have not worked since christmas, and even though today is payday, they will not receive their paycheck. their federal employees union will give members a rebate of their dues to help with the cash flow but that's not enough. one worker tells us here she tells us that not receiving a regular paycheck is going to hurt, especially considering her husband has medical bills of $6,700 a month. similar story up in san francisco, where yesterday, you can look at your tv screen, federal employees marched and chanted outside the epa's headquarters on hawthorne street, waving signs saying "we want to work." 800,000 americans aren't getting that paycheck today and they're now worried about how to make ends meet. >> our household now has zero income. >> we implement the clean water act, the clean air act, safe drinking water act, that's not happening. >> reporter: and we threw some numbers together for you on the tv screen there.

you could see just kind of get a sense of the types of employees who will not be receiving paychecks today, 3,000 air traffic controllers, 51,000 tsa officers. 4,000 employees with the national weather service, and 13,000 fbi agents, just a small number of the 800,000 total. reporting live here in mountain view, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> so many people caught in the middle of this. hopefully there is some relief soon there, bob, thank you so much for that report. well, new details about a deadly police tasing incident on the peninsula. last october, chin du okobi was tased by deputies on el camino reale in millbrae. "the examiner" reports the district attorney plans to publicly release all relevant video in the coming weeks. investigators say the suspect was running in and out of traffic, and then attacked a deputy. this was one of the three taser-related deaths last year involving san mateo county law enforcement officers.

>> access to legal marijuana just got a little closer for anyone living in san leandro city is getting its first miracle marijuana dispensary. today is a grand opening for tarratack. the ribbon cutting happens at 9:30 this morning. more inaugural celebrations for libby schaaf. the mayor hosts a dinner and dance party to benefit the oakland promise at the fox theater. schaaf began her second term in office monday. moving forward, she has to tackle issues such as housing and affordability in the city as well as homelessness and oversight of the police department, which dealt with a number of controversies. that's not the only big event happening today in oakland. live look at the city skyline. >> today is also the start of the ninth annual restaurant week. more than 100 restaurants are participating in that event, which runs through january 20th, but the big question, kari, is will the foodies need umbrellas if they head out this weekend? >> no, the big question is who

made reservations? >> right. as we start out this morning, we are seeing some dry weather in dublin. but we will see some rain off and on as we go into the weekend. we are starting out with some light patches of fog. it's not as foggy as it was yesterday, but i do think the visibility may get worse over the next couple of hours, in parts of the bay. we are going to see some of that fog rolling through in spots like pleasant hill through about 8:00, and then we'll get some clearing for a little while throughout the morning, before the cloud cover increases, as our next storm system moves in. by 2:00, we'll be tracking some spotty rain in parts of the north bay, and mostly cloudy skies elsewhere, but we will see some pockets of some heavier downpours moving through in time for the evening commute, and it will be off and on overnight, as we get some of that wet weather bringing in also some gusty winds, and we're mostly looking at the potential of getting about a quarter to half inch of rain, so we'll be tracking all of that, and what else is hel d headed our way for the weekend.

mike, what is going on now on the radioed? >> not a whole lot. i've been trying to find any of the fog we've been talking about on our live cameras. it's skipping around and avoiding the camera spotlight. the green son sores is the spotlight for the entire bay pretty much. look over my shoulder, right here we found a patch that registers on our road weather index, stuck around for the monitors to report that around brentwood just south of antioch, it's a smooth drive despite that for highway 4. the san rafael bridge you can see the low clouds in the background, making the silhouettes of the trees stand out but no other problems. it's a good drive toward the north bay. down toward the bay bridge your minimum 14 minutes, highway 4 to the bay bridge toll plaza we have a couple, literally a couple of cars waiting to pay cash, that will build over the next 10 to 15. back to you. >> thank you, mike. coming up here on "today in the bay," are you tired of your teens always glued to their smartphones? how about locking it up? that's what one school is trying out. what the students are say being

it, comi saying about it. a big announcement out of washington out of h1b visas. i'll fill you in when "today in the bay" continues.

happy friday. right out now at 5:30, a mostly cloudy start to the bay area. live look in san jose, even though we start out with dry weather, the rain will be here later on this afternoon so we can enjoy at least the morning. temperatures will be cool with low 50s and headed up to 61

degrees. we'll track that rain, talk about the weekend, too, coming up in less than five minutes. chp reports fog coming out of the altamont pass. there's a low amount of cars so it's moving smoothly. in the north bay we have fog but no problems. speeds are at minimums for the drive times. a happy friday to you. wall street took an unexpected turn to the positive on thursday. that's five in a row for the dow. reports say apple will come out with three new phone this is year, and making your iphone 10 the old model. apple hasn't commented. macy's biggest fall for that stock in ten years, after the company warned investors about falling profits and sales. really startling tweet from president trump this morning announcing a path to citizenship for h1b have is aholders. silicon valley is full of highly educated, highly skilled immigrants on h1b.

it is just a work visa, didn't have a path to citizenship. we'll look at this more closely as we look at politics coming up. today we enter the 21st day of the government shutdown, this ties us with the longest shutdown ever. if you go to the airport today, the tsa agent that keeps you safe, the air traffic controller who clears you for takeoff were supposed to get paychecks today and didn't. this puts us in uncharted territory. we won't know until this is over how badly we hurt the economy. here is fed chairman jerome powell. >> in the short term, if government shutdowns don't last very long, if typically they've not left of much a mark on the economy, which cannot isn't to say there's plenty of personal hardship people undergo, the aggregate level of the economy generally does not reflect much damage from a shutdown. longer shutdown, if something we haven't had, if we have an extended shutdown that would show up in the data pretty

clearly. >> powell warned us the deficit is hurting us and all the other chaos you may have forgotten, the government's spending more money than is brings in, far more money and getting a lot worse than it has in the past. maybe a drink would help. ces is showing off the home brew maker. it's like a coffee machine only it's beer. how about that? jonathan bloom, our digital reporter is at ces and sending these reports at nbcbayarea.com. the good news is, make your beer at home. i watched jonathan's report. bad news is, it takes three weeks. >> a lot of people are into that. >> totally into it. >> there are places you can go in the interim. >> maybe you can buy many of them. >> how long do they last after the three weeks? >> you're really into this story. >> i'm curious. that's what we do as

journalists. we investigate. 5:16. more students may be suffering these days from cell phone withdrawal, even though their parents may argue they're staying more focused on what matters. more schools are discovering the device that keeps phones locked in a bag only the teacher can open. one school in durham, north carolina, is using it. one student says it keeps them off social media. >> kids can get on social media and start so much, but by usingon der, it helps us keep away from the bad negativity. >> each pouch costs only a few dollars, but the school says they're worth it. >> our house we have this thing, i call it my pocket, and if their phones is there, they can't use it either. >> i say no devices or toys at the table during dinner table. >> hopefully no breaking news.

killed himself, 22-year-old davis police officer natalie corona, just a few weeks on the job, as i said, shot last night, after responding to a car crash in downtown davis. the manhunt for the killer ended just a few blocks away from the crash scene. we'll bring you a live report on the latest details coming up at 6:00. very tragic there. 5:44 right now. developing this morning, california department of justice attempting to block the sale of three hospitals to santa clara county. among them, o'connor hospital in san jose, st. louise regional center in gilroy, and the de paul center in morgan hill. the california attorney general filed an appeal of the u.s. bankruptcy court's sale, asking the court to stop the sale. this is putting the $235 million deal in jeopardy. santa clara county was hoping to add the hospitals to its health care system after verity health wanted to sell them. it includes santa clara valley medical center in san jose. happening tooled, the u.s. supreme court is scheduled to

review and perhaps decide the white house decision barring transgender military members. in 2017, president trump first indicated that the government would no longer allow transgender people from serving. later, the defense department clarified transgender people could serve as long as they "end their buy liological sex." they may issue a ruling or continue until a later date. a startling tweet from president trump that could have big impacts on silicon valley. >> the president wants to give h1b visa holders a path to citizenship. >> startling. we need to think of this, frame it as a negotiation bid in the immigration debate, but this would be enormous for silicon valley, where we employ thousands of people from overseas, highly educated, highly skilled workers who are here on that special visa.

they're your co-workers and neighbors and critical to the silicon valley economy. "h 1-b holders in the united states can rest assured that changes are soon coming which will bring both simplicity and certainty to your stay, including a potential path to citizenship. we want to encourage talented and highly skilled people to pursue career options in the u.s." this is a big turnaround. it was not long ago the trump administration was talking about not just reducing the number of h1-b spree sass but pulling the work permits from visa holders' spouses and children. so for instance, if an engineer comes here from, say india, and his wife is a doctor, washington had been talking about not letting her be a doctor in america or letting their daughter work at the food court at the mall, pull the work permits. all of a sudden you have this talk about citizenship. we have to think of this in the context of the argument over the wall. video here of the president visiting the border yesterday,

this could be purely contingent on some move by the democrats to offer funding, and they've been clearly unwilling to do so. the house has once again voted to reopen parts of the government, this, too, is a stunt they know they won't get the idea passed the senate. mitch mcconnell will not let the bill hit the floor. but note those numbers on that latest vote, 12 republicans voted to reopen the government, up from eight the day before. the world still talking about president trump's announcment, the statement yesterday saying he never said mexico would pay for the wall. take a look. >> when during the campaign, i would say mexico is going to pay for it, obviously i never said this, and i never meant they're going to write out a check. >> i put that on twitter and facebook, and boy, has that created quite the conversation. could you follow me on twitter and facebook. on twitter, i'm @scottmcgrew.

check out this picture here, right there, this little seal is posing on the beach with new friends, of course, who happen to be nypd officers. the little guy had wandered and gotten lost there, so the officers helped guy him back to the ocean. the officers were all smiles and took to twitter to say the little guy gave us his "seal" of approval. >> ba-dum-bum. >> bad jokes. >> oh, well. checking into the weather today. >> it's going to start out dry across the bay area, but some big changes ahead, as we go into the weekend. we're going to start to see some of those showers moving in. here is a live look outside in oakland this morning. camera kind of shaking around, a nice little breeze kicking up but we don't have the fog and so far, we don't have the rain. the fog has been very light and patchy, and so far visibility at least is about four miles, so

we're doing pretty good there. seven-day forecast is already up at the bottom of the screen, as you check out a lot of rain icons there, over the next few days. we have a little bit of a break at least as far as the rain until the early afternoon. we're going to start out in san jose, as you're headed to school with temperatures in the upper 40s, low 60s in some spots by the afternoon, so as you're getting dressed this morning, it is still a cool start. you need a jacket, but don't forget the umbrellas especially if you're gone throughout most of the day. by the afternoon, we'll start to see some showers coming in, with our high temperatures reaching the upper 50s for a lot of our inland valleys. here is a look at storm ranger right now. it's showing not a drop of rain to start out this morning, but that storm system is fairly close. it's just offshore. we can see it here, and then as it moves in today, we're going to see some rounds of possibly some heavy rain for a little while, then there say break, and another storm system right behind that, that will be moving in on sunday. so let's time it out. we start to see some scattered

showers moving in to santa cruz by 2:30 this afternoon, and still some spotty rain for the north bay, but much of the bay area won't see that rain until about 5:00 to 6:00, and where you see the yellow, that indicates some heavier rain. off and on rain for tonight, into the start of the day tomorrow and even for the afternoon, slight rain chances, but we are only going to see a few of those light showers moving through here and there, and then we take it to sunday. sunday night we'll see some widespread rain moving through. so this first round of rain brings us anywhere from half to possibly an inch of rain in the santa cruz mountains, but most of us seeing a half of an inch of rain or less, and then by tomorrow afternoon, once again, rain chances going down, another system moving in on sunday, off and on rain all next week, and it's going to still stay kind of cool with some mid to upper 50s. mike, you were taking a closer look at what's happening on the peninsula. >> that's right, specifically east palo alto with our camera

near university turned now toward willow. the off-ramp vehicles leaving just fine. no problem on the roadway but that is where chp had a report, one of the attenuator barrels were busted up. we don't see debris or slowing north past that scene but we'll follow that. there may be something in the area over here. bigger traffic will be expected coming over from the fremont and newark side across the dumbarton bridge, but there are no issues. these smaller crashes just reported over here on 880 over in the south bay, and i'll check on what they are, because they just popped up in the last few seconds. no slowing on the sensors. smooth drive through contra costa county, a little fog registers behind us over there in brentwood. just a note for folks headed down toward discovery bay out of antioch. we have no metering lights yet. you could see that because of the steady flow, the solid build all the way up the incline for the tail lights, once the metering lights are on, they'll wait right here but not so far. the backup at the bay bridge toll plaza is lighter but it's slow across the span and getting across richmond to san rafael westbound we see folks waiting. if you carpool or fast track,

you're looking just fine. back to you. >> thanks, mike. breaking news for you, the department of defense is beginning its withdrawal of u.s. troops in syria. right now, there are no specific timetables of when the members of the military will be home. there are 2,000 u.s. troops in syria. confirmation of the first withdrawals comes amid confusion over plans to implement president trump's pullout order. we'll be right back with two minutes with more news. also first, next and all new this hour, there's change with tobacco giants. we'll taell you about it coming up. plus sick at sea, a cruise ship carrying hundreds of sick passengers finally returns to the u.s. and -- ♪ probably won't get that song out of your head, if you missed it, a major milestone for a wildly popular kids song, how "baby shark" is taking a bite out of
