coming across the bridge last time i checked, and a lot of them reporting an accident there. what we're finding out, though, there was a shooting reported just before midnight at about 11:30 last night on the upper deck of the bridge, westbound, as you were talking about. and when our photographer arrived on the scene there was a vehicle that had crashed into the center divider. that's where they are investigating a crime scene. they're still diverting traffic off at fremont and in that area, fremont street, and around the crime scene. a chp spokesperson told us they couldn't even confirm how many people were injured in this apparent shooting, anywhere from one to three people from what we can determine. another person drove to san francisco general emergency entrance about the same time as our photographer was arriving on the scene of the shooting at fremont and admitted themselves

that keeps our kids safe and our teachers safe and ultimately our communities safe. >> reporter: the governor's announcement about the summertime reopening of schools, the possible summertime reopening, appeared to catch the teachers by surprise. they need to figure out how to protect the students, teachers and staff which you heard governor newsom say on the "today" show. at 6:00, what the governor just said on the "today" show about what steps need to be taken to reopen the state's economy. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." bob, thank you. san francisco school board members have approved a pass/no pass grading system for the current semester.
