go from the mid-60s to the lower 60s and we'll talk about what else is going on today, coming up. vianey, what's up with those couple of crashes? >> you know, kari, the one that still is causing the heaviest delays is the one on the dumbarton bridge, and we also have that crash down through the south bay, but i want to get to the dumbarton bridge one, because this is going to take a little bit longer to clear. we still have the number one lane blocked and this is right after quarry road. so if you're driving into east palo alto and this is your normal commute, expect some heavy delays. we're starting to see this get backed up possibly all the way through the interchange along 84 as well as through fremont. head out the door now for extra time. the rest of the bridges the metering lights are on at the bay bridge so westbound 80 towards the bay bridge looking at about 12 minutes. i'll have another update coming up shortly. back to you. >> thanks. right now the search is still on for the shooter who gunned down two people inside san bruno's tanforan mall, just ahead of the last night rush hour.

say they found a gun that was possibly used by the suspect. passengers did not know exactly why all the police activity was happening. >> i saw everyone got scared and everyone just ducked down. >> i was just like in panic mode and a bunch of cops ran in there and started screaming "get out, get out, get out!" we all just ran, and i was scared. >> reporter: amidst all the chaos, folks took action to help the victims in this small shooting. a lot of things happening there. we'll have more on that in the next half hour. we're live here in san bruno, pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> so good to see people step in, in the time they're needed. thank you, pete. nbc bay area's ali wolf was one of the first on the scene of the news as it broke and stayed throughout the night. she posted several updates including videos on twitter as the situation developed. be sure to follow her on twitter. @awolftv. tomorrow military tanks will be rolling through the streets of washington, d.c., as part of

"the examiner" reports family members claimed the center "did nothing to protect her, despite knowing she had dementia." anderson is not the first person to die in a stairwell at the hospital. in 2013, another patient was found weeks after disappearing. her family later reached a multimillion-dollar settlement.

committing these crimes, they're professional. they work in auto burglary crews. they usually strike between 5:00 p.m. and 10:00 at night, monday through friday, and target large parking lots near freeways so it's easier for way to get out. they're especially after laptop computers. "the voice" reports the bad guys use apps that search for your computers' bluetooth signal and indicates whether the laptop is stored in the cab of the car or the trunk, making it easier for the thieves to figure out how to steal it. police say they drive like maniacs, i'm quoting there, during their escape, because they know officers aren't going to pursue them if that puts the public at risk. "the voice" also reports the state is providing about $3.75 million to the city of santa clara in addition to the cies of san jose, milpitas, fremont and newark to fight the rise in crime. santa clara plans to use that money to install surveillance cameras and signs to warn people to beware. reporting live here in santa clara, bob redell, "today in the bay."

the data kept includes a record of requests to access outside services like uber, and stores some data surrounding reoccurring requests including anniversary reminders. >> hmm, interesting. >> remind me of my wedding anniversary. >> right now i hope that you didn't wake up late, if you're going to be traveling along this area in the east bay. listen up. southbound 880 at tennison road there is a sig alert crash, all lanes are actively blocked and there was a little bit of a slowing on the side but a lot of folks if you can, jump off right before you even get to that area, and take his hesperian boulevard. there is a sig alert crash, there's no telling how long it will take to clear that out so again, if you're traveling along southbound 880 at tennison road this morning, in the east bay, it's going to be a tough commute. also significant slowing along northbound 880, and this is near broadway.
