just off to the right side as folks are traveling west to the peninsula. this is not blocking any lanes and everybody appears to be going by just fine. that person hopefully staying with their car, not getting out and standing there being an issue as far as risk for traffic there. service lanes should be serviced by the folks on the bridge. we'll check on that in the next few minutes and right around here no problem, nothing unusual for the speed sensors around the bay. a great easy friday start. approaching the bay bridge, contra costa county across to the north bay, all moving smoothly at speed or close to speed. here is the bay bridge toll plaza, this is what we typically see on an early friday commute. 5:21 no backup, no delays, not even a build for the cash lanes that will happen in the later morning and kick in for the afternoon and evenings, special events, kari talked about sporting events on saturday, b.a.r.t. added longer trains, parade for the filipino cultural festival parade saturday as well as games for the niners, the raiders and the giants. remember also for the niners,

along with 100 rounds of ammunition. new details are emerging about the gunman that went on the shooting rampage at the gilroy garlic festival. >> documents we obtained from police reveal investigators found several disturbing items in the suspect's car, a shotgun and police say materials could be used to make a bomb including two pipes, a passport, banking documents, a set of california license plates, registered to a family member, a tent and wilderness training manual and several masks. police search of the gunman's home in gilroy discovered a semiautomatic rifle and ammo packed in that same bag. the gunman killed three people, injured at least 16 others, nearly two weeks ago at the festival. an update on a story we brought you earlier this week about a florida teenager claiming that his lung collapsed after using ecigarettes in particular vape pens made by san francisco-based juul. this morning the company is

treat. >> yes, it is. speaking of treats, happening today, treat yourself, our nbc bay area treat truck will be out on the peninsula this afternoon and we're giving out free ice cream. you can hang out with raj mathai, janelle wang, jeff ranieri and chris chmura at the redwood city music on the square starting at 5:00. such a nice community. stop by, say hi and get free ice cream, happening today. >> that is something amazing, we own an ice cream truck. >> i know, it's cool. >> how cool are we? >> and i watch tv all day, those are things my parents said would never happen. >> take that, mom and dad. >> it's a good weekend for ice cream. >> it will be a great evening if you're planning to head out to music on the square and our temperatures will be in the upper 70s, and that's once again from 5:00 to 8:00. music on the square will have some beautiful weather and then as you make your way up toward san francisco, maybe going to the giants game tonight, that's
