responded to a report of stabbing, reported to be a knife or a pipe. >> reporter: according to police and preston's father, the teenager got into a scuffle with a that teenager apparently called authorities. >> we understand the video on social media is very difficult to watch. when responding to a 911 call regarding a potential stabbing or assault with a deadly weapon, officers were unaware this male suspect was a special needs individual. >> reporter: preston's father says things need to change. >> not all cops are bad, but there are bad appleless in every bunch, and the behavior that i saw in that video is disturbing. it's sickening, and it should never have happened. >> reporter: the officer involved in the encounter is still on the job as the investigation continues. cheryl hurd, "today in the bay."

as your hepatitis b may worsen or become life-threatening. serious or life-threatening side effects can occur, including... allergic reactions, lactic acid buildup, and liver problems. if you have a rash and other symptoms of an allergic reaction,... stop taking dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis b or c,... or if you are, may be, or plan to be pregnant. your doctor may prescribe a different medicine... than dovato if you plan to be pregnant or if pregnancy is confirmed during the first trimester. dovato may harm your unborn baby. use effective birth control... while taking dovato. most common side effects are headache, nausea,... diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety. so much goes... into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it. make breakfast better with cheddar. my new cheddar biscuit breakfast sandwiches. with cheese baked right into the biscuit, hickory-smoked bacon or grilled sausage,

and a freshly-cracked egg. try'em today. only at jack in the box. a very good morning to you. did you feel it? probably only if you are up in the mendocino national forest area, but there was an earthquake this morning, a 4.0 reported about 45 miles northwest of clearlake. this map kind of gives you an idea of the area there. we don't have any reports of damage so far, any injuries or anything like that. if you felt it, make sure you reach out to us. i posted it on twitter. let us know if you felt the shaking. maybe the bears in the mendocino national forest felt it a little bit, kari. it's not uncommon for us to get these here. >> right, and it is a pretty remote area. i was checking the depth of that earthquake, and it is pretty deep and as you mentioned in a

fairly remote area in the mendocino national forest, probably the reason why we have three people who reported they felt it in to the usgs this morning. we're going to continue to monitor that. it's not on one of our major faults, but it is a fairly active region, and it's well off of the san andreas fault, but it can at some times trigger a little bit more movement on some of the faults nearby. so we will be watching that throughout the morning. let's get you out the door and ready for the day. if you're going to be staying at home in fremont and doing home school recess, or maybe the virtual learning today in the backyard, we'll start out with temperatures at 9:00 in the low 50s. going into today, it's going to be cooler, only reaching into the mid-60s this afternoon. but we are going to keep that sunshine for a little while like antioch reaching 70 degrees, a high of 70 in ukiah and san francisco staying cool, keep that jacket on, only 56

degrees for a high today. as we go through the forecast, we've been talking about our rain chances, and so excited about it. at least i am. we're going to see some scattered showers moving in by tom tow row. tomorrow night the radar filling in parts of the north bay, off and on showers throughout the day on sunday, good day to catch up on your movies or cleaning the house, spending time with family and then as we go back to work next week, we'll see this rain clearing out, and our temperatures will gradually start to warm up, but during this rain, we're looking at most of us getting about a tenth to quarter of an inch of rain in parts of the east bay, the south bay, as well as the as we go to there could be rainfall totals up to about a half of an inch with the sierra possibly getting up to a foot of snow in some spots. if you're going there this weekend, prepare for some treacherous roads, but take a look at our rainfall deficits, even though it's good to see the rain, our deficit right now is running at 21 inches in santa

rosa. we'll be watching the weekend rain chances and talk more about it. mike, what are you watching for the commute? >> we have the news out of san francisco if you're just joining us, breaking news for you traveling across the bay bridge the eastbound lower deck is down to just one lane. you see slowing there. that is a problem getting over in toward the east bay. got a lot more traffic, volume to cover out of the altamont pass but 84 is still closed overnight. a quick look at the peninsula side, looking at 101 the volume easing, light drive, no major problems so we'll send it i think back over to you guys. to our continuing coverage of the pandemic this morning, uc and csu say they'll all require students and employees to be vaccinated before they return to campus in the fall. stanford as well. >> yes, this impacts more than 30 colleges statewide. lastight students, legal experts and doctors are all weighing in. here is "today in the bay's" ian

cull. >> reporter: after months of online learning, california universities hope the fall will mostly be a return to normal. that starts with getting a vaccine. stanford will require students to get one. the uc and csu systems say they will, too, when the fda gives at least one of the vaccines final approval, which could happen soon. >> great idea. definitely when you have kids on campus especially like this big of a school, you don't want to have a situation where kids are actually getting sick. >> reporter: the state universities enroll and employ more than 1 million people across 33 campuses and say it's the most comprehensive plan for covid-19 vaccinations in the country. leaders releasing a joint statement saying in part, "receiving a vaccine for the virus that causes covid-19 is a key step people can take to protect themselves, their friends and family, and our campus communities while helping bring the pandemic to an end."

most students we spoke with agree. >> it's like a step forward. i'm definitely for it, yeah, i want to get back to school. >> reporter: stanford will require students returning this fall to get vaccinated. administrators will provide more updates in the coming weeks, including plans for faculty and staff. >> we have six members in the lab and have to work in shifts. if we got vaccinated we can work again. >> reporter: legal analyst steven clark says some students might have a legal argument against it because it's not the same as other required vaccinations right now. >> we have a history of knowing what the potential side effects are on a long-term basis. obviously when you have a vaccine that's only been around for less than a year, you're not going to know that. >> reporter: state schools and stanford say students can request a medical or religious exemption to the vaccine but if they do, they may have to undergo regular covid-19 testing. at stanford, ian cull, "nbc bay area news." new this morning, new
