increase the distribution of the vaccine, but at this point there are still concerns about supply. >> i'm announcing that i will direct all states, tribes and territories to make all adults people 18 and over eligible to be vaccinated no later than may 1. >> reporter: president biden's announcement led to more optimism. >> it's nice to get vaccinated. >> i think that's fantastic. >> reporter: people who are eager to get in line are all for it. but is it realistic? bay area health officials say there's not enough supply coming in to meet current demand. >> i think it came as a surprise to us and we hope that it means that they are seeing really promising increases in the manufacture and the distribution that would back that up. >> reporter: marin county health officer matt willis said increasing eligibility to everyone will create competition.

>> so we have to be much more careful about protecting slots for those people who are more -- most vulnerable. because again, if it -- it will be more competitive if the entire community has access to appointments. >> reporter: governor gavin newsom's office mentioned the supply short and said he's looking forward to working together to make this important goal a reality. a goal the president says could deliver the summer people are dreaming of. >> if we do this together, by july the 4th, there's a good chance you, your families and friends will be able to get together in your backyard or your neighborhood and have a cookout or a barbecue and celebrate independence day. >> 10% of the u.s. population is fully vaccinated and 11 million californians have received at least one dose. that includes the nearly 2 million doses for underserved communities.

we were the first to inform the uber driver subhakar khadkas of the arrest. >> i am relieved that they -- they have apprehended the suspects. >> reporter: this happened sunday. khadkas decided to end the uber-ride early because they wouldn't wear a mask. he hoped they would apologize, but instead they took to social media. >> i myself believe in second chances. but instead of that, defending what they did made it worse. >> reporter: malaysia king was booked in nevada on several charges including assault and battery and assault with a caustic chemical. when they exited the uber following the confrontational ride, one of them reached into the window and sprayed pepper spray. khadkas has received an outpouring of support saying that he's fighting for their

cause too. >> that what made me feel like i was doing the right thing. >> to be clear, they're not girls, but women. police are hoping you recognize the car in this surveillance video. it led to the deadly shooting one week about 6:00 in the morning in the evergreen neighborhood. the victim was shot after catching people breaking into his car that was parked in his own driveway. he died in the arms of family members. the get away car is believed to be a bmw. there's a cash reward being offered so if you have any information call san jose police. a quick follow-up on the story you may have seen last night. it was about those two 11-year-old girls missing from the richmond area home. well, thanks to richmond police getting that word out quickly, this morning, they tell us that both of those girls are back home with their families. 4:38. 34 people died when a diving
