rocks or hills. it turns out it may be a table and it may be clear. the slowing we saw has cleared coming off of the bay bridge. now, we're watching still for updates. if you can't tell the difference between a table and boulder, wait a few more minutes before you get in the car. the rest of the bay, smooth flow of traffic. we'll talk about the tray valley and the closer. there is a disabled vehicle on 580, but it looks like everything is cleared from the lanes. the deadly shooting in sacramento is leading to officials here in the bay area calling for an end to all the violence. >> on sunday six people were killed and 12 others wounded. in san francisco a deadly shooting also happened at a playground, two people were killed there. high profile city leaders have having an open discussion about change with the community. >> as "today in the bay's" terry mcsweeney explains, city leaders fell short from delivering a concrete plan. >> reporter: the anti-gun

concrete action, to prevent future harm. >> to our brothers and sisters who have lost loved ones, we hug you, we support you, we stand with you, we love you. >> reporter: these anti-gun violence rallies have been going on for decades and still the violence continues. there were no concrete proposals pushed forward today, but maybe some of the alliances formed can change that in the future. terry mcsweeney, "today in the bay." developing now, three people are behind bars, this is following that mass shooting in sacramento over the weekend. one of the men, 26-year-old dandre martin, appeared in court yesterday. a judge pushed back the hearing to give his attorney more time to look at evidence. his older brother, smiley martin, also arrested, but is in the hospital. he is one of the 12 wounded. and a source tells the associated press, smiley martin streamed a video on facebook

showing off a gun just hours before that shooting. this picture is from when he was on parole back in february while serving a ten-year sentence despite opposition from law enforcement. the mother of one of those victims angry, as you can imagine, but relieved to see police made the arrest. >> you can't let people out of jail on a felony. i don't care about a pandemic or none of that stuff. you can't let them out. you see what can happen. >> police say the third person arrested was found at the scene with a gun. he's charged with having that gun illegally. as more on the investigation unfolds, we will continue to bring you updates on air and we'll have information online. you can head to nbcbayarea.com and click on the link in the trending bar and you'll get the latest developments on this tragic story. one of the state's largest grocery store chains is being

meeting when they raised rates for the first time since 2018. volkswagen plans to focus on its more profitable premium vehicles and scrap many gas-powered engine models by the end of the decade. that's according to the financial times. the brands include audi and porsche. the auto industry has attempted for decades to increase profits by selling more cars each year, even if that means heavy discounts and incentives. jet blue is offering to buy spirit airline. the bid could break up a plan for spirit to merge with rival budget carrier frontier. jet blue says combining with spirit would lead to lower fares by creating a challenge to united, delta and southwest. that's the same argument fran tier made when it viewed the takeover offer in february, a combined jet blue and spirit

psst...you're drooling. my $3.50 triple cheese & bacon sauced & loaded fries. order on the jack app today. 4:44 this morning. taking a live look out at downtown san jose. it looks like the lights are shining like, come on, wednesday, give me what you've got. >> is that what they're saying? >> right, yeah. it's also saying, okay, but also get ready because it's about to start warming up. >> it's like the lights are going to start to get hotter out there. we're going to really start to see those temperatures ramping up and we do need to be prepared for this, because we don't normally get temperatures reaching into the 90s in april, but we do have to prepare for it, especially with a lot of people not having air-conditioning, as we start out this morning with a clear sky. it is cool now, but take a look at the high temperatures, reaching up to 85 degrees today in dublin. that's going to be much hotter

than what we had yesterday afternoon. concord 89 degrees and napa reaching 84. novato also at about 84 degrees. so with these temperatures warming up, it continues that trend tomorrow. actually, on thursday that's when we reach the peak of the heat. in san francisco we'll top out at about 83 degrees. san mateo 85. and 90 in mountain view. 91 in dublin. so then heading into friday, we get just enough of an ocean breeze to cool off the immediate coastline and san francisco, but that's still well above normal, and in some of our inland areas like san martin and morgan hill, we're still hitting 90 degrees, even on friday, with napa getting a little bit of a breeze coming through the bay and reaching 82 there. if you are going to be going to the beach, there's still a beach hazard statement in effect that continues until 9:00 this evening, so what's happening here is we get these large swells coming up as we are getting the gusty wind. that's building some of those more dangerous waves as the high

pressure continues across the region. as it moves off to the east, we see a shift in the wind, and once again going into friday a little bit of an ocean breeze. going into the weekend, more clouds moving in and there will be the possibility of a few spotty showers on monday, but as of now it looks like it stays just off the coast. there may be another rain chance behind that by the end of next week that could bring in a better dose of some rainfall. also, more sierra snow possible by the end of next week, so we could be about 1 to 3 inches with the system coming in on monday, but then possible a little bit more by the end of next week. we take a very close look at these numbers and what's expected, because now that we're in the month of april we're heading on the downward trend toward our dryer months of the summer, and the chance of us getting significant rain at this point continues to decrease. so looking at santa rosa and our ten-day temperature trend, hitting 90 degrees tomorrow, but

70s for the weekend and only reaching 56 degrees on monday with the system dropping in. then getting a little milder for the middle of next week. we are seeing a lot of changes here and we do need to be prepared for highs in the 90s and highs in the 50s. so we'll be watching all of that for you. mike, you were tracking a close you're going on. >> the speed sensors look great, the crash in san jose did just clear, 101 at 680. north 101 should be clear now. this is not yet clear, we're avoiding the highway 84 section. it should be clear within the next ten minutes. we've not had any delays or problems for crews getting out of the area. over here, smooth flow across the richmond-san rafael bridge and bay bridge without any delays and the drive to the bay bridge still very light traffic flow. you're at speed for all of these

routes. back to you. >> thank you very much, mike. it's 4:48 right now. a disturbing attack against a teenage girl caught on camera in south san jose. it happened in the middle of the day. the 17-year-old girl fought back and some bystanders had her back as well. we spoke with the victim's grandmother. >> reporter: it happened just after 3:00 in the afternoon on march 24th. surveillance cameras were rolling as the assault occurred right behind me. surveillance video shows the suspect pushing the teenager up against a fence and then wrestling with her on steinbeck drive. police say it appears the man was initially after her purse, but as the struggle continued and the girl fought back and screamed, he threw her to the ground and straddled her. that's when bystanders came up to help and he walked off. >> people who were in the area and aware of their surroundings obviously contributed to helping solve this incident and prevented something worse from happening. >> reporter: within minutes police arrested derek jamal

boykin, charging him with assault and attempted rape. he remains in jail with no bail. we showed the video to neighbors. >> my brother and i will walk to lucky there and it feels like a safe neighborhood so it's terrifying to see something like that happen in broad daylight. >> reporter: this is the victim's friend and posted the video on facebook. she worries the suspect might come back for more. >> i don't want him near an elementary school or any school. i don't want him to think that this is okay and he made a mistake and let's let him back out and he can just do it again. the other girl might not be so lucky. >> how is your granddaughter? >> muy bien. >> the victim's mother says her daughter is shook up but she's proud of how she fought back. the grandmother says the victim has always been a fighter, never letting older cousins bully here. grandma firmly believes on that day her attacker picked on the

wrong person. "today in the bay." >> 4:50 this morning. if you order an ub nr san francisco, you might just end up with a taxi. uber and taxiys are teaming up. "today in the bay's" cheryl hurd has more on the partnership. >> when uber came on the scene, tax drivers were feeling out of sorts. now, some way with gas prices soaring and trying to recover from the pandemic, it makes sense for them to work together. >> the taxi industry went down almost to the ground and we're trying, as the owner, as the workers, to lift it up a little bit. >> reporter: that lift came when the city's transportation agency board voted to allow taxis to accept flat up-front fares just like uber. on august 5th when you get on your phone and click on a soon to be developed app for a ride, you may get an uber or you may get a taxi. some taxi drivers don't like the

idea. >> uber is a company with a terrible track record when it comes to their behavior. >> reporter: mark gruber has been a taxi driver in san francisco since the early '80s. he says his bottom line has not been the same since ridesharing apps entered the picture. >> we would like more transparency and we would like some guarantees that cab drivers aren't going to get hurt by this. >> reporter: some people have been a part of a pilot program since september of last year. a few weeks ago, new york approved a similar deal between uber and cabs. this new plan won't go live until some things are worked out, like the base rate for drivers. uber's ceo believes it will be a win for everyone. >> we think that we can help taxis by bringing them more business and we have more transportation choices. >> reporter: so far, flywheel and yo taxi are the two apps being considered to partner with

uber. cheryl hurd, "today in the bay." happening today, the white house is expected to extend the moratorium on student loan payments through the end of august. this would be the sixth extension of that policy enacted during the pandemic. right now it's set to expire in may. the biden administration is still deciding whether to forgive at least $10,000 in student debt her per person. >> a live look at sfo. today bay area congressmen will announce now legislation to hold unruly airline passengers more accountable. they want the tsa a create a new no-fly list. he argues it would increase protections for travelers. he's calling it the protection from abusive passengers act. the faa says there were nearly 6,000 unruly passenger incidents last year. about one in six were considered serious, but it was the highest number of serious incidents since the data started being collected in 1995.
