around 12:30 a.m. by a car outside of his marked police unit. the suspect is in custody. we're getting different reports on what may have happened and hoping to confirm details with san jose police soon. it is an ongoing investigation and we'll continue to monitor things. reporting live, pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> thank you, so much, pete. 6:01. the man accused of stabbing two elderly asian women at a san francisco bus stop is expected in court today. patrick thompson is scheduled to be arraigned on multiple felony charges. investigators released a security video of the suspect and have graphic evidence of the attack. the city district attorney says the stabbing left one woman with

a punctured lung and the suspect stabbed the other victim with so much force the blade of his knife broke. the grandson of one victim is vowing to speak justice. >> throw the book at him. i don't want him getting out on mental issues. i want him locked up forever and never to be on the streets again. >> authorities say thompson has a long history with the criminal justice and mental health systems. police say so far there's no evidence the incident was a hate crime. new findings show hate crimes against asian-americans and pacific islanders are up sharply. the group stop aapi hate released updated numbers and it counted more than 6,600 incidents nationally, from march of last year to march of this year. verbal harassments, the most common at 65%. next is shunning or deliberate avoidance at 18%. 12% of those complaints involve physical assault. maybe you felt the shaking last night from the 4.7 quake some people in the bay area say

they felled it, it was centered near truckee. struck about 9:30 at night, didn't cause damage but some people received an alert fearing it would be even stronger. >> earthquake, drop cover, hold on. shaking expected. >> the shake alert warned of an estimated 6.0 quake. afterwards social media pretty much lit up about that, as the actual earthquake. a live look in san francisco this morning where a big weekend is on tap because for the first time in a long time, businesses can operate in the least restrictive yellow tier. cierra johnson is live in san francisco. you've been following the story for days now. what should people expect? >> reporter: we've been following this for about a week. we're officially there, entered the yellow tier yesterday and approaching the week and it will be a big deal for the bars and restaurants. not only those type of

businesses expanding as well, there are museums reopening for the first time since that pandemic, one of them being legion of honor in san francisco. them later today, they'll be doing so with a very big installation. now, this installation is done by a kenyan-american artist, and she interprets the gruesome 2018 death of neil wilson using bronze sculptures, placed in the middle of the museum's courtyard. 18-year-old wilson, if you recall, her and two of her sisters were traveling to a memorial service for a relative when she was stabbed to death at macarthur b.a.r.t. station, again in 2018. the 29-year-old suspect in that stabbing was found to be insane at the time of the stabbing so the bronze sculpture arrangement will be placed in the center of this museum. folks can anticipate expansion

of capacity within some of the bars in san francisco. bars are allowed to open indoors at 25% capacity, also increased for gyms, wineries, restaurants and tasting rooms. those are all at 50% capacity indoors. our crews are out last night during the first night of business within the new tier. many business owners said this move was a welcomed one and counting down the days until the june 15 date, the date governor newsom set for a total reopening. >> it's nice to come inside and have a drink. it's a small step but feels like a big weight. >> we know each other so it really becomes a focus of the community. >> reporter: and as we've been saying all week and really last week, entering this yellow tier could really be a domino effect for a lot of those businesses,

parking garages, parking lots, some hotels may see an increase in business. a big weekend ahead for bars and restaurants and some of our art establishments here in the city, many of them opening with big statement-making installations in san francisco. we're live, cierra johnson for "today in the bay." >> all right, thank you, cierra. this is a question a lot of people have been talking about. can you be fired from your job if you refuse to get that covid vaccine? that question may soon be answered in the federal courts. almost every state including here in california considering legislation about mandatory vaccines. now the new census survey finds nearly 10% of businesses in the san francisco, oakland, berkeley area they're all requiring employees to show proof of vaccination before coming back to work. we spoke with one employment law expert about the courts and what they will consider and if someone refuses to get a shot. >> i would think that the courts would look at three issues, you know, do you have a religious

reason, a health reason, and to the employer, you have no less onerous way of accommodating this employee who does not want to receive the vaccination. >> some larger companies like facebook are only encouraging people to get the shot instead of requiring vaccines. neighborhood activists plan to demand more be done to clean up hunter's point shipyard. new home construction recently began on an epa superfund site. the battle over contamination is going on for years but the goal is to build thousands of new homes. activists plan to hold a news conference later this morning. a major return for the san francisco symphony. ♪♪ lars night was the symphony's first show with a live audience since the pandemic started. it was filled with health care

workers. >> feels incredible. i waited the entire pandemic to come to the daies hall and happy i could finally come and nice they're doing this for the health care providers. it's very nice. >> all audience members had to wear a mask and provide proof of vaccination or negative covid test. could let that music play all morning. beautiful. >> let the music play into the weekend as we get ready, it is friday and the segue to a beautiful weekend, kari. it will be warmer for us out there. >> yes, so today is like the last cool day we'll have for our inland valleys and it seats up tomorrow. beautiful sunrise over the south bay. temperatures headed back into the 60s and 70s but tomorrow it will be up to close to 90 degrees in some of our inland valleys and with that increased fire danger especially for

solano county and areas just off to the east. highs today we start out with most 60s for san francisco, upper 70s for antioch and fairfield. mike, what's going on now for the commute? >> an unusual pattern of slowing in san jose. look at the map, our usual spot at 680 starting to get jammed up not that bad. there is a crash or disabled vehicle something in the middle of northbound 101 around mckee and that is jamming up traffic. folks see the backup and take 280 northbound to get past that, causing a rip there will. we'll watch for progress from chp once they arrive. no other problems for the sensors around the bay except for west 24, that crash again off the roadway on the right shoulder around st. stephens or shy of that causing some slowing into and through orinda. back to you. how does this sound?

hitting that snooze button one more time. up next, how about getting paid to sleep? we're going to tell you how much and why. plus -- >> unfortunately staggeringly bad news on the number of new jobs. the white house, economists, analysts all caught off guard this morning. let's take you out to the futures this morning as wall street is reacting. certainly wall street not as concerned as the rest of us. plus does this guy have a seat belt in his office? or does he have an office in his car? we'll show you the zoom video going viral this morning. you're watching "today in the bay."

right now at 6:12, you can do it, just one more day before the weekend, as you get ready to head out for work in the east bay, pleasant hills cool temperature, mostly in the low 50s as you head out the door. look at the trend, another beautiful day reaching into the 70s. we'll talk about a warmer weekend forecast coming up in a few minutes. and good news, san jose the disabled vehicle cleared to the shoulder now north 101, speeds improving already, as you travel past tully up to mckee and over at the bay bridge no reason for improvement, because these lanes are just great right now. there's a little slowing up the

incline, but it's friday, we do expect a little build over the next 20 minutes. well good morning to you. mike says it's friday. news. but something funny happened on the way to this, this morning and i mean that funny strange. the labor department says just 266,000 jobs were created in the month of april, over at cnbc they were so confused by the number that just came in, my colleague, steve liesman thought that can't be right. unemployment rate goes up, not down to 6.1%. coinbase the latest company to haheadquarters at all. people can work from home and office and reception and desk and a water cooler that's no longer needed. the famed auction house

sotheby's is trying its hand at nftks, digital works of art, anyone can download them but technically one person owns them through a digital certificate. these will go on auction. the work on the left is called cryptopunk 7523. the piece on the right is quantum. similar works have sold for millions of dollars. sunday morning on "press:here" i'm going to drag an expert onto the show and pretty much demand he explain this strange, new trend to us. it seems to make no sense. people paying millions for something you can copy and have for yourself but we'll try. you can watch "press:here" after "meet the press" this sunday morning at 9:00 on nbc bay area. going viral this morning a zoom meeting where the guy on the right over there may not be in his office. he's wearing a set belt. kind of looks like maybe he's

driving and using a fake brac ground. that's exactly what's happening. an ohio state senator said he was driving at the time but treated the call as a phone call and not a zoom call. you see him look at the camera every once in a while. my youngest son has the habit of calling me on facetime even when i'm driving but then you can just hit accept on the dashboard there and all he sees is the roof of my car. i'm pretty comfortable making that an audio call but i don't look over at it. >> no need to. >> it's tempting. remember when we didn't even have phones, you just had to wait until you got somewhere to see the people. >> that's right. you didn't know where anyone was. >> pull up the pay phone, put the quarter in. hey, mom, i'm lost. >> yes. >> happened to me. >> i don't want to say i remember dimes, exactly. let's move on. how about some wine, it is friday. a little early though but trending this morning, how would

you like an out of this world bottle of wine? a bottle of petrvs spent 14 months maturing in space, one of 12 bottles sent to the international space station in 2019 to be aged in an experiment to see how plants adapt to space conditions. christy's private sales are auctioning off the bottle which could go for $1 million. proceeds will go towards future agricultural research missions in space. what could be better than being paid to sleep? one website is offering jobs to five people to go to sleep. part of a study conducted by sleepeachnight.com. they have to nap undisturbed and write reviews once they awaken. things like motivation, productivity, and memory all taken into account here. each participant will receive $1,500 for the 30-day study and this is what we call a "dream" job.

>> i think i would pay $1,500 to be involved in a 30-day study for getting more sleep and naps. i would. >> i would, too. >> oh, you would pay? i thought you said you were paid. >> yep. >> wow. you know who you need to let sleep in this week? >> no, that was a dream. >> mom. >> yes. >> you need to let your mom sleep in, it's mother's day, don't forget. kari has a look at our forecast, brunch or lunch outside? >> yes. i think so. it's going to be a really nice weekend, but starting to warm up. as we take a live look outside in dublin, we're waking up to a beautiful sunrise, that alone is a nice gift for our mother's day and not as many cars as i saw yesterday at this time, so maybe people are getting an early start to the weekend. let's head to the south bay, and get a look at our high temperatures for this afternoon, reaching 72 degrees in san jose and 76 degrees in gilroy. take it in, because some of

these spots that we're seeing right now will be much warmer tomorrow, reaching 78 today in concord, martinez reaching 73, at a high of 70 in fremont. let's head to the coast if you're going to the beach this weekend, it's still going to be cool. a high of 58 degrees in half moon bay and 68 in redwood city. san francisco 62 in the mission district and 56 in the marina and for the north bay a high of 77 degrees in clearlake and sonoma in the mid 70s. into the weekend we watch out for gusty winds picking up as well as hotter temperatures. we've been seeing the storm systems passing well to the north of us, and now high pressure is moving in once again. so you're going to see those temperatures going up as a result of that, as we continue on with some dry weather, and we do have the concern of this high fire danger, fire weather watch is going up for solano as well as much of the central valley into the weekend.

so here is a look at our seven-day forecast for the inland spots like antioch, mid-70s for today, but then upper 80s tomorrow and you can see how warm it's going to be through the rest of the forecast, so this is like the last day we could leave the air conditioning off. we do keep the natural air conditioning in san francisco, low 60s today, and upper 60s but some gusty winds through mother's day weekend. mike, how is it looking right now heading out to work? didn't look as busy in dublin. >> yes, it's not as busy, especially not dublin. no problems 580 or the dublin interchange today. we look at the map we had san jose slowing, a lot of focused slowing because of a car in the middle of north 101 at mckee that cleared to the shoulder. disabled vehicle on the shoulder, minor distraction and things are smoothing out there. the rest of the bay light. tri-valley as we said very different than yesterday, good, good, good. 24 still slow approaching st. stephens drive, the crash is over on the shoulder but maybe a spectacle because there's a lot.

south 101 shoulder, a lot of slowing shows up in novato. san rafael look how clear it is here down to the golden gate bridge. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 6:20 this morning. coming up next, sponds.
