we want to say thank you for watching us. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm kris sanchez. laura garcia has the day off this will be, no doubt, a difficult day to bring you the news, but we are doing our best to update you on three unspeakable tragedies now involving firearms. >> we want to begin with the city of half moon bay rocked by that rampage. >> that shooting unfolded at two locations yesterday afternoon. what we know this hour is seven people are confirmed dead, another victim clinging to life in critical condition, and that suspected gunman is now in police custody. he is said to be cooperating after driving to a police substation where he may have planned to surrender. the victims are all tied to a local mushroom farm in half moon bay. some were shot at a location where they work and where they live. the second location, a nearby nursery. >> the first calls came in around 2:20 p.m. deputies arrived at the first crime scene along highway 92 to find five victims. one of them still alive.

three more bodies were found at a second location, a nursery three miles away off highway 1. then around 4:40 p.m., authorities managed to detain the suspected gunman. >> that man was found parked in his car at the sheriff's substation on kelly avenue. cameras then captured that dramatic moment when authorities took the suspect down. he is identified as 67-year-old chunli zhou. he is now in custody. joining us now is half moon bay mayor, deborah penrose. that you for joining us. i'm sorry it's under these circumstances, but we understand you've been away. we wanted to know how you found out. >> i got texted by our city manager very quickly after the incident occurred. >> how is your team responding, and when are you planning to head back to half moon bay? >> i'll be heading back in the morning, but our team has just been right on it.

everyone on council, everyone on staff has been involved. the local portuguese cultural center has been the place where the victims' families have all gathered. san mateo county human services agency, our department of emergency management, the sheriff's department, alas, senior co-siders, all of these nonprofits have come together and provided supplies and basic assistance for the victims' families. >> mayor penrose, i want to ask you, look, there's no training for a situation like this. sadly, we've had them before, but how you as mayor of the city, how do you plan to bring the community together, heal, as well as provide this safe space? i'm sure a lot of people within

the community are just shaken and afraid right now. >> i think there's a lot of shock in the community. i think we've been very, very blessed. we are a close-knit community. i think that allowing people to express their feelings and bringing people together and allowing folks to help out when they can is the best thing that we can do. it's a horrific thing that's happened here. our community will survive, but we'll survive because we are a very close-knit and a very giving and loving community. >> a lot can happen overnight. have you gotten any worpd of why this may have happened? >> no, we don't have any more news at this point. the sheriffs are doing a very good job investigating, and we

will hear as soon as we know something, we will let the public know what's going on. we don't keep anybody in the dark about what's happening. right now it's in the hands of the sheriffs who are more than capable. >> mayor, this tragedy is sandwiched between two other tragedies. we know what happened in monterey park in southern california. overnight there was a shooting of three people in oakland. all of these involving firearms. do you have an opinion about what our communities should be doing about gun violence? >> 467 mass shootings last year. guns. too many guns. semiautomatic weapons need to be banned. there is no excuse for it. >> i think we're beyond 30 mass

shootings since the beginning of the year. this year. we know this is a problem. there's not much you can do at the local level, is there? >> well, i think we can continue to reach out and speak to our legislators. california is a relatively safe place to be, but you can go to a gun store in nevada and carry that gun from nevada into california. it's a federal issue, but you have to start some place. putting pressure on our state legislators and our congressmen and women is the only way to go about affecting change. >> mayor, i have a question about those farmworkers. my grandparents were farmworkers, too. i'm familiar with the fact

sometimes you live where you work. is there anything the half moon bay community can do to make those place as little safer? we know children were there when this happened. >> i don't think can you prevent someone who can get access to a semiautomatic weapon and probably has mental health problems, although we don't know that for certain, from doing a crazy act. i don't think it's preventable. i think we can only reassure people we pull together and we'll investigate this crime and we'll do whatever the we can to make certain this fellow is prosecuted to the full extent of the law. but preventing tragedies like this has to come from the

federal government who will do something to prevent semiautomatic and automatic weapons and weapons of any kind such easy availability. >> just a tragic situation. what do you say, i know you're away right now but you're coming back soon, what do you say to the folks in the half moon community right now to try to provide some type of peace right now? what would you like to say to them if they're listening? >> i think they're in good hands. our council, city staff, the county and our representatives have all taken care. they're out there trying to figure out what's going on. i will be home soon, but i think they're in good hands right now. >> i know that my family enjoys the peacefulness of half moon

bay. it's our place to get away from the chaos of the world. i hope you can find your way back to that peace and calm. it's good to know you're a tight-knit community. thank you, mayor deborah penrose, and safe travels back home. >> thank you. we do have one other developing story. we mentioned this just a moment ago with the mayor, another shooting with multiple victims. this happened last night. one of the eight people police believe were shot has died. this happened about 6:00 in the evening at a gas station on macarthur and seminary in oakland. police say when officers arrived, there was nobody there but they did find numerous bullet casings and the shooting victims had self-transported themselves to hospitals, so they showed up themselves. again, in this case police say they are aware of at least eight victims. there are unconfirmed reports the shooting was actually a gun battle that erupted in the

shooting of a video. three top stories this morning, we have crews following both bay area shootings, and we will bring you the very latest at the top of the hour. "today in the bay" continues after this quick break.

still between 35 and pilarcitos. that sinkhole hasn't cleared and we had coming across the bay bridge -- well, let me talk about that in a second. to the east bay where we had the closure, northbound 680 still with that pavement work going on. that should clear in a few mihm. by 5:00 those crews should be on the moves. a new crash around the ge plant and that is an issue between sunol and livermore. we see more slowing for the volume as folks come through the shift there as well. another crash west 580 slows past the scene. it doesn't sound like there are many lanes blocked. none if i understand it correctly. we're looking at the rest of contra costa county with an easy drive beginning on the lower deck. there was a report of a crash on the span. a live look, i believe that crash has either cleared from the bridge or the coned area. it has to be cold working there on the bridge at night. take a look at some of these temperatures, mike, as we are getting started and people are heading out the door.

we are at 48 degrees in oakland. 38 degrees in dublin and concord. 43 degrees in fairfield. check out morgan hill it one degree above freezing right now. when you compare that to yesterday at this time that's 14 degrees lower so, yes, indeed, now that the wind has calmed down we're all getting a chillier morning to start and we'll have a fairly warm afternoon when we compare that to yesterday. we're going from really cold to not so bad for this afternoon as we head for 62 degrees in san jose. we'll see temperatures up to 59 in walnut creek as well as 59 in livermore and 62 today in oakland. we'll see a high of 60 in san mateo and san francisco reaching 60 downtown for the north bay. we'll see the temperature reaching 66 in ukiah and santa rosa. napa headed for 62 degrees. another cold morning tomorrow, just not as cold as we're seeing now. pretty chilly as we dip down into the upper 30s and low 40s. still looking at high pressure

moving off and making way for rain that's going to be coming in by sunday into monday. it's going to be a quick-moving system but there may be more behind that as we go toward the middle of next week. we'll see how things shape up. as we look at our rainfall, this will be more focused over the east bay peninsula and the south bay with the potential of up to a quarter inch of rain or even higher for some spots, even three-quarters of an inch of rain. for livermore, we're in for chilly temperatures. it's still going to be very mild for the next few days. look at next week. once that cold front passes highs in the upper 40s and low 50s and that's after the rain moves through so we are going to see temperatures in the 50s going towards the end of the weekend into early next week. as far as the near term, it looks nice, the sunshine continues, and we'll warm up over the next couple of days. and now as we turn to our climate in crisis, with the nice

weather you may be finding yourself along the bay area beaches and actually encounter a bottle-nosed dolphin. it's been uncommon to see them out here because they typically hang out around baja, california. what's driving the species up our coastline? i spoke with a research associate at the marine mammal center for more details. >> part of it has to do with it facilitated by climate change. as the water warms up, they're used to warmer water in southern california. they can get that in monterey bay. more recently in sonoma county and even farther north sometimes they'll make it to mendocino, and we've had some far north in california's humboldt. so they are here now to stay. they've learned to find resources, food, and and a half gate the area. they're here permanently as far as we can tell now. >> and, unfortunately, not all animals do well with climate

change, adapting to new environments, but bottlenose dolphins are very smart and have been able to find different food sources like salmon, something they can't get off the san diego or baja, california, coast. as you heard bill mention, the dolphins are here to stay. but the marine mammal center actually needs your help with their research. they're asking the public to take pictures of those dolphins if you see them and send it to their database even if you snap a picture of their dorsal fin, they may be able to match it to something in their catalog. we have the link on your screen and you can find it online at nbcbayarea.com. back to you. >> thanks, kari. new for you this morning, this is vallejo restaurant week, and dozens of eateries are participating in those special prices. >> from a meal for about $30, there are a lot of great deals. the ceo says whatever you're

happening tonight nbc's revival of "night court" continues with a new episode. and last week's premiere was the highest rated comedy launch in five years. the series co-star says an improvised moment produced one of the biggest laughs. >> there's a moment where it's not in a script and abby tells him she's going to come back, she's the new night court judge, and he lets out this yelp. i am the new night court judge.

this is one of my favorite moments we shot and such a testament to who john is and what he brings to the scene that he's so in the moment. >> i thought he was the only one that yelped like that. >> nbc is also buzzing after the launch of a new show tonight revolving around payne motors. the company is faced with a corporate challenge surrounding the recall of one of its vehicles. that's when the crisis manager played by eric stonestreet steps in. cast members are calling the production a joy to take part in. >> i love being a part of a team. the show does all of that. >> "american auto" airs tonight at 8:30 p.m. right after "night court." then "america's got talent all stars." a fun night ahead. 4:57. a bay area community in shock next here on "today in the bay" a live report, the unfolding
