three others then fired shots, killing the suspect. that suspect believed to be a known gang member. this happened around 1:00 in the afternoon. families were out and around. businesses were open. now neighbors are worried about the violence. here's what one person told us. >> you don't want a family member hurt or a police officer hurt. they're in here trying to clean up whatever is around. >> reporter: and sources say the police sergeant who was dragged went to the hospital with a broken collarbone. the suspect's name has not been released. we did some checking. san jose has had two police shootings so far this year. the update from the police chief is happening later this afternoon and will be there. reporting live in san jose, ali wolf for "today in the bay" stphraofp. thank you for that update. a rock thrower terrorizing a busy stretch in the south bay.

witnesses recorded this video of the fiery landing. it was making an emergency landing yesterday morning in moscow. it had just taken off but had to land because of some sort of malfuncti malfunction. it broke out during the plane's landing. it is possible that the hard landing could have led to the flames. some of the video recordings you can see people scramble to go get off the burning plane. t in the meantime, growing concern about boeing's management of the 737 max design. the company is releasing a statement detailing how it knew for months that a safety alert in the cockpit was not working as intended, yet it did not disclose that to federal regulators until one of the planes crashed. it was designed to warn pilots

that a key sensors might contain information about the plane's nose. the warning light only worked when airlines also purchased a separate add-on feature. the sensor's malfunction in two crashes killing more than 300 people. well, in the face of tragedy, the show did go on for the renowned group yesterday. this is out of the choir group that sang in san francisco. this happened early saturday morning on 101 brisbane. a short time after the choir arrived at sfo from their home in alabama. four vehicles were involved in this crash. someone in an suv died. the fire burned up most of the group members belongings. the group tells us they are so thankful. >> it's not a surprise that san francisco stepped it up and really showed us love. and we are very appreciative.

>> i know these kids. they're very, very resilient. we just decided to go ahead with the show. >> some of the 18 passengers on the bus were banged up but otherwise okay. chp is still investigating what happened. >> the price tag of expanding smart train service is about a billion dollars. that's according to a an 18-month study along highway 37. the route would relieve heavy cop skwregz on highway 37 in the area. a price tag of a billion dollars, it's not clear how realistic the expansion will be. further south, next generation commuter service takes its debut on the peninsula. for the first time, samtrans

trump said bob mueller should not testify. no re-do for the dem. there is a mixed message here. the president said over and over the mueller report clears him. his attorney general said the mueller report clears him. why wouldn't he want mueller to speak to congress? it says specifically it's not an exoneration. it said if we had confidence we would so state. but based on the facts and applicable legal standards, we are unable to reach that judgment. the president retweeted that jerry falwell jr. saying he should get an extra two years tacked on his term. you can dismiss it as constitutional nonsense. but the sitting president of the united states retweeted it and referred to two wasted years in a tweet of his own.

it is moving to the coast. we will have wet conditions for some as you get ready to head out the door, temperatures in the low to mid-50s all across the bay area. then we look at our high temperatures. looking pretty nice today. a little bit cooler with upper 60s and low 70s. it is mostly cloudy as we get started. so as you're getting dressed, it will be a chilly start with the need for light long sleeves and pants throughout the day. some spots will make it into the 60s. pleasant hill, expect it to stay mostly cloudy as our temperatures slowly warm up. a few inland spots reaching 70 degrees. we will be under a warming trend throughout the week. upper 70s by friday into the weekend.
