in the bay's" bob redell gathering new information this morning for us. wh well, bob? >> reporter: yes, good morning to you, laura and marcus. chp confirmed two people were shot and killed, a family member tells us that one of those people was their 19-year-old granddaughter who was on board this party bus parked out front, the eastmont substation here for oakland police department, where the bus ended up presumably looking for help. now we have the sunlight and already known about the four windows shot out on the left side but the back of the bus you can see the white specs, those are bullet holes and i counted probably about 20 of those at least. so just gives you a sense of how many shots were fired into this bus so again two people killed and we believe at least one other person shot. there were several young girls on board, 19, 20, perhaps 21 years of age, driving around oakland overnight to celebrate one of the girls' birthdays, it was around 12:30 this morning

someone in a car pulled up alongside the bus, this was on 580, and they started firing those shots. we believe some of the shooting took place on eastbound 580 between macarthur and seminary and then again at 68th and foothill where you might be able to see this on your tv screen, a lot of shell casings on the ground there at this intersection and then the bus ended up here at the oakland police eastmont substation, again the driver presumably looking for help. two people killed, at least one other shot. >> i'm trying to hold up. that's my granddaughter inside. you know that's her mom and stuff. we just want them to get called, she was only 19 years old. >> y'all need to turn yourself in. she had a child. she had a baby. it's not right. >> reporter: that was the 19-year-old girl's grandmother you first heard from and the stepmother and the 19-year-old

girl was a mother. her child is turning 3 this upcoming saturday. as far as 580 is concerned it was shut down until 2:45 this morning. it is reopen but it had been shut down for the investigation. the party sbus still here obviously at the eastmont substation, that chp sergeant i did speak with said the pio is supposed to come out here. i asked about a suspect vehicle description, and anything about the suspects and they are obviously still looking for those people, person, whoever it was who opened fire here and again killed at least two people. reporting live here in oakland, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> a lot of unanswered questions there. thanks so much. as soon as this story broke we were pushing out details with our nbc bay area app. get breaking updates sent straight to your phone. 6:02, and a live look at the sunrise here over the biggest county here in the bay area.

"today in the bay's" kris sanchez is live in santa clara with what this could mean for businesses and you. good morning, kris. >> reporter: yes, we're all looking for a little taste of normal, marcus. if santa clara county moves into the yellow tier today, it would be less than a month before the entire state economy reopens, still it's a month that a lot of businesses are looking forward to as they try to make up some ground. let's show you why it's possible to move into that less restrictive tier, there were just 24 new covid cases reported as of yesterday. two people did die. 75% of people 16 and up are partially vaccinated, at least one dose and 59% of people are fully vaccinated as of

yesterday. moving into that less restrictive yellow tier could make for a more regular springtime with restaurants allowing more capacity indoors, bars, wineries, breweries, distilleries that don't serve food would welcome more people inside as well. amusement parks like great america can welcome back about a third of guests. santa clara county joins san mateo and san francisco county which entered the yellow tier one and two weeks ago if it is the county is able to make that move, those announcements are made on tuesdays, so if that happens today, all of this would go into effect tomorrow on wednesday. in santa clara, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thanks so much, kris. state health leaders trying to put an end to the confusion over mask wearing despite recent cdc guidance suggesting fully vaccinated people don't have to keep wearing them, california is waiting until june 15th to change its policy allowing time to prepare. yesterday's announcement also tried to clarify decisions

the the stories about a post

covid rental car shortage and rates skyrocketing are truly frustrating. the prices are so high, could you blow your entire vacation budget on the rental car alone. but we think you can steer clear of some of the highest prices. here's how. when do you a basic booking on a rental car company's website you're probably paying an undiscounted rate. think of it like the rack rate on the back of a hotel room door. those prices are through the roof and almost no one ever pays them. so how do you avoid that with a rental car? first, bypass a basic booking. go into the advanced mode, it's not hard, sometimes it's as simple as one click. next, look for a box that says something like corporate discount plans, cdp or rate plan. add a code to the box can lower your rate by hundreds of dollars. despite its name the corporate discount plan isn't just for corporations. you're eligible for several rate plans because many organizations offer rental car codes to

members like you, auto club, frequent flyer programs, hotel loyalty, alumni associations, warehouse clubs and even your employer. 6:26. coming up next, the raiders left oakland. could the oakland a's be next? why the team may soon be one step closer to finding another home if their demands for a new stadium are not met. what a new report is reveal being a big upcoming trip for team leaders eyeing greener pastures. i'm bob redell, live in oakland where two people including a 19-year-old girl had been shot and killed while on that party bus behind me. they're driving around town celebrating a birthday. what chp is telling us, coming up in a live report. wanna help kids get their homework done? well, an internet connection's a good start.

through oakland overnight in that black party bus behind me that is now parked outside the eastmont substation for the oakland police department. the bus was full of young people, we believe most of them if not all were young women. two people were shot and killed, this includes a 19-year-old girl who was on board that bus, the bus ended up, the driver presumably looking for help. we already knew there were four windows shot out on the left side but maybe you can or cannot see the white specks, bullet holes, i counted at least 20, gives you a sense of how many shots were fired into this vehicle. one other person was shot as well and this happened around 12:30 this morning, someone was in the car, they pulled up alongside this party bus while it was on 580 and started firing. we believe some of the shooting took place on eastbound 580 between macarthur and seminary. that section of the road was shut down for several hours.

california's choice beauty? pretty boy. or a beast? john cox grew up with nothing; made himself a remarkable success. california's falling off a cliff. high taxes, unaffordable costs! even elon musk left! gavin's mismanagement of california is inexcusable. we need big beastly changes in sacramento. i'll make 'em. recall the beauty. meet the nicest, smartest beast in california. john cox. good tuesday morning. it is 6:42. let's get the kids ready for school this morning and as you get ready to head out in morgan

hill, drop-off time upper 40s and by the time you pick them up, 64 degrees. spend extra time outside. we'll talk more about this continuing weather in our forecast and what's ahead for the weekend, coming up. and spend some extra time on highway 4 if you choose one of the longer routes between pittsburg and walnut creek, that takes you through concord, slow drive. now also in contra costa county, the richmond toll plaza getting over in toward the north bay, west 580 does show the slower drive but the alternate is a much longer drive so stick it out. it's standard drive out of that portion of the bay. turning to some political news, president biden released his tax return to the public just as nearly every president has done for the last 50 years. scott mcgrew, that's nearly every president. >> yes, the tradition started with nixon, laura and marcus and ford and carter and reagan and bush and clinton and bush ii and

obama and then it stopped. though donald trump kept promising to release them, he never did release his taxes. there's no legal requirement for the president to do so, but it is a way of being transparent with the american public. the bidens made $607,000 last year, most of that coming from book sales. the bidens paid about $157,000 in federal taxes. president biden took the opportunity yesterday tax day to remind americans about the new child tax credit that's part of the coronavirus stimulus bill. now we have talked about this before. not only will most american families get a tax credit for every child in the family, you won't just take a deduction on your taxes next year. the government is going to put half of that money in your bank account each month, so you'll just look down at your banking

app and you'll see a deposit on the 15th. >> i'm announcing today that on july 15th, and the 15th of every month thereafter throughout the year, you will get deposited in your bank account half of your tax cut at least, $250 per child, each month, a direct deposit into your account. so if you're a working family can two kids, you get $500 a month into your bank account on the 15th of every month starting july. >> president biden will visit an electric truck factory in michigan today, where we assume he'll see the new electric ford f-150 pickup truck. the rest of us have to settle for this picture, a still of a really short teaser video from ford. the company will show it off for real tomorrow. this is all we know about it. f-150 is the best selling pickup truck in america. we expect gop leadership will bring its infrastructure plan to the white house today, they did say no later than

tuesday. it will be smaller than what democrats proposed but one senator said it could be as high as $900 billion in new spending. we'll watch what the president does and says and tweeting about it. you can find me on twitter. i'm @scottmcgrew. >> thanks so much, scott. big changes ahead as early as today for the bay area's largest county, santa clara. could be making that move into the yellow tier allowing bars to reopen indoors and allowing restaurants and gyms to operate indoors at 50% capacity. >> "today in the bay's" kris sanchez is live in santa clara with what this could mean for those businesses and you at home. kris? >> reporter: well hi there. so if santa clara county moves into the yellow tier, the least restrictive tier, it's only going to be a month before the entire california economy opens up in full on june 15th, so not a lot of time, but after a year

of pandemic living, every month will help those businesses try to get back on track. look at how this is possible, as of yesterday, there were only 24 new cases reported in santa clara county, two deaths, but 75% of people 16 and up are now partially vaccinated and 59% of people are fully vaccinated as of yesterday. moving into that less restrictive yellow tier could make for a more regular spring with restaurants allowing more people indoors, bars, wineries, breweries, distilleries that don't serve food will welcome more people inside as well. used in parks like santa clara's great america can welcome a third of guests back, kids perked up with that one. santa clara joins san francisco county which entered the yellow tier a few weeks ago. if santa clara moves into the yellow tier today, all of this goes into effect tomorrow on wednesday. in santa clara, kris sanchez, "today in the bay."
