it's 43 degrees with a calm wind and our temperatures will hold steady the next three hours and then we'll see it warm up into the upper 50s, a sunny day and also some nice temperatures headed for 65 degrees in san jose. 64 in morgan hill and for the east bay 63 in danville and 62 in vallejo. some low 60s for the peninsula into san francisco. 63 downtown. we'll talk about what's ahead coming up. mike, you have a warning for drivers in the east bay. looking over to the drive, a smooth flow of traffic but in alameda county up to marina boulevard that earlier crash reports of a tire in the lanes. we're not sure how much debris is there.

watch as the potential to slow traffic for a second to clear that to the shoulder if it's not clear already. the rest of the bay looking good. north 680 looking for that crew to clear as well from the reports. we see the sensors slowing. i think it should be open through sunol in just a few. back over to you. >> thank you very much, mike. in a matter of hours a 66-year-old man accused of shooting and killing seven co-workers in half moon bay is expected to face a judge for the first time. this on a day the secret service revealed somewhere around half of most recent mass violence cases were motivated by perceived wrongs commonly in the work place. >> team coverage for you this morning starting with kris sanchez in our newsroom. you have the latest on that investigation here at home. that community of half moon bay continues to mourn and they're still trying to support farmworkers who were traumatized by the shooting and can't go back home, can't go back to work, and today the suspect will be heading to court.

66-year-old chunli zhao is still in custody and will face a judge today. the san mateo district attorney has not yet released all of the charges he will face, but we know that at least seven will be murder charges. the sheriff revealed zhao used a semiautomatic weapon that he owned legally. sources told nbc bay area zhao knew the people he killed and he told investigators that they pick on him for years. sources told us zhao gunned down two co-workers near a greenhouse at the first farm off highway 92 before going to the trailers and killing a co-worker's wife, shooting two more co-workers including the lone survivor. investigators say zhao then drove to the nearby mushroom farm and ka cabrillo. after all of that he drove to the sheriff's substation where he was arrested. the coroner is notifying family

members about the victims, which has been difficult because some are migrant workers. we talked with california lieutenant governor. california has enacted a red flag law allowing law enforcement to take guns from people who are at risk for violence. she says now it's time for the feds to do their part. >> all of these together are sensible gun laws. we're calling on congress and the federal government to act to put into place the same kinds of sensible gun laws that we have done in the legislature here in california. >> 66-year-old chunli zhao will be in court at 1:30 in redwood city. we will be there as well. >> kris, thank you. as the half moon bay shooting is looking more and more like an incident of work

place violence, findings indicate this is one common thread in the long line of america's mass attacks. "today in the bay's" brie jackson. new data released moments ago with more on this. >> reporter: good morning, marcus, laura. that's right. the u.s. secret service national threat assessment center released a multilayered report about mass attacks between 2016 and 2020. for context, the agency defines a mass attack as an incident where three or more people were harmed in public or a semipublic space that was not connected to another crime. in it the agency finds there have been 173 incidents during that time. in total 513 people were killed and more than 1,200 injured. half of those instances the agency says the attacker was retaliating for perceived wrongs related to personal, domestic, or work place issues. most of the attackers used guns and many of them were possessed

illegally at the time of the incident. investigators say an incident in half moon bay, the attacker said he felt disrespected by co-workers in the years leading up to what happened monday. the shooting was not included in this data but the center says there are lessons to be learned from the report's findings. >> the biggest takeaway, and i want communities to understand this, these tragedies can be preventable if the communities are equipped with identifying the warning signs, encouraging bystander reporting, knowing how to act on that information when it is reported and putting the appropriate interventions in place. they need the tools and they need the resources. >> reporter: one of the warning signs the center says to look out for individuals displaying any unusual interest in violent topics including past mass attackers. the report says that businesses should consider establishing a work place violence prevention

plan and that individuals tasked with stopping violence should understand the impact of violence and hateful rhetoric while protecting free speech. the authors found nearly one-third of all attackers had evidence of planning their attacks. marcus, kris? >> all right, brie jackson in washington this morning. thank you. according to the gun violence archives, america so far this year averaging more than one mass shooting per day. the recent shootings in half moon bay, oakland and monterey park are 3 of 40 in the u.s. so far this year. at least 73 people have died. this morning on the "today" show one expert tries to break down what makes mass shootings so prevalent in america. >> certainly our access to guns is different than the rest of the world, so that's one piece of it, but i do think there's more to it than that. there is this quest for fame and notoriety at all costs. a lot of perpetrators are looking to make the history books even if it's for something

like this. >> that interview airs later this morning on the "today" show at 7:00 a.m. right after "today in the bay." san jose leaders have approved a series of new measures meant to prevent gun violence. a new outreach to make guns violence restraining orders more accessible. there is a series of recommendations which police confirmed are already in the process of being implemented. that includes making public safety information available in multiple languages and developing new protocols to document inspections that may include gun stores. also this week sjpd rolled out its new gunshot detection system. and happening now several california counties are conducting their annual count of those who are unhoused. this is a live look in sunnyvale. leaders are gathering to begin counting. last year teams counted about

about 64 today. talk about colder weather ahead and it comes with some rain. we'll talk more about that in a few minutes. mike has a look at where you can find lower gas prices. through the help of friends out there, gas buddy prices reporting san mateo county, in belmont double time on harbor boulevard $3.99. cupertino car wash is at $3.89. we have alameda county. the best at dublin. arco on village parkway $3.39. varied prices around. we're looking around the bay at most of the options at the speed limits. 680 northbound slowing as the crews cleared.

good wednesday morning. right now at 5:13 as you are getting up and heading to work checking out belmont and we're going to see temperatures in the low 40s up and down the peninsula to start out. a slightly cool day, but it turns out to be a nice one though we only make it up to close to 60 degrees in some spots. and we are going to have some much colder temperatures in our extended forecast. we'll check that out in a few minimum. >> look at this beautiful shot, 580 westbound with the taillights in toward the dublin interchange along the dublin grade. traffic flowing smoothly but plenty of that for you building here as well as the rest of the bay. we'll show you the slowdowns as they develop coming up. well, good morning. a very happy wednesday to you. microsoft had some problems with outlook and teams this morning, cutting some people off from

their work place. the u.s. state department has sent out a security alert cautioning americans who use you bers ubers around cancun due to a dispute. the bulletin generally mentions mexico, quote, violent crime, widespread and common. tesla will report profits after the closing bell. tesla recently cut prices trying to bring one of its suv prices within the new rules set by congress to give some electric car buyers a tax break. meantime, west virginia senator joe manchin is trying to pause some of those breaks written into the law in the new inflation reduction act. he wants a pause until at least march. the rules as they stand are pretty confusing, whether you get a big tax break is a mix of your income, the cost of the car, how many minerals in the battery come from america. there's a list of qualified cars

online. the rules are expected to change again soon, and even car dealers are confused. we're getting a better idea where the cuts at google will come from. google announced 12,000 employees would be laid off to take place over the next six weeks. paperwork filed by google to the federal government shows 1,436 will be cut at its mountain view headquarters. 119 at youtube in san bruno. 53 in plo alto. 1,608 when you add those up of our friends and neighbors losing their jobs is very sad news indeed. i do want to mention all of this because it's 13% of the overall layoffs. in the morning when i say 12,000 cuts we almost imagine all of them coming from mountain view, right? but google is an enormous company. so about one in ten are in the

bay area. >> spread out everywhere. >> yes. >> i know we were talking about that the amount of people, whoa, but you see how many employees they have. >> individually a tragedy, very difficult. but broadly not quite as overwhelming. >> all right, thanks, scott. you bet. 5:17. more people struggling to save. bank rate finds nearly 6 in 10 americans are unable to afford an emergency expense of $1,000. nearly three-quarters say they're saving less this year due to the factors including inflation, rising interest rates or change in employment or income. one in four say they would have to rely on credit cards more than ever to cover a surprise expense. i don't think we need to remind you of the niners -- they're going to go. we're going to take it all the way. that's what i'm saying.

fingers crossed. they're going to take on philadelphia on this sunday. and if they win, which i will say when they win -- >> i like the attitude. i like the positive there. well, ahead of that wwe is giving us a little taste of the treatment fans will likely give the niners. don't expect much brotherly love. >> and we're going to feel like the fans of the philadelphia eagles after they get conquered by brock purdy of the 49ers! >> they just had their board meeting right there. the wwe manager paul heymann riling up the crowd in philly on "monday night raw" as wwe diehards will tell you the rookie in the same style he referenced his old friend brock lesner. philly fans already have their dander up. kickoff is at noon. make sure to watch nbc sports

bay area's pregame live at 11:00 a.m. and nbc sports bay area will air the postgame show right after. go niners. >> missed that part of the clip when he said, i'm going to get your dander up! i'm sure that's what he was yelling. >> i think dander, i think of a dog. finally a good day to take the dog out. a break from the chilly weather. it's cold. only 39 in novato. temperatures in the upper 30s and still a light breeze picking up. later this afternoon headed for the upper 60s in the north bay, san francisco a high of 63

degrees. san jose reaching 65 degrees and then we start out tomorrow morning just as cold. san jose dipping to 37. 41 in mountain view and 43 in novato. as we look ahead the weather pattern on repeat for a few more days. all clear here, block any storms from coming our way. that will be moving our way and making way for a couple of storm systems to come back starting on sunday. as of right now a lot of the moisture looks like it's staying off the coast, but we are seeing the chance of rain and sierra snow coming in with this first system sunday into monday and then there may be another one right behind that. it doesn't look like we're seeing any big atmospheric rivers. these are cold fronts coming in, have a lot less moisture and rainfall. so as we look across the bay area anywhere from a trace to a quarter inch of rain in parts of

the north bay, maybe a little bit higher in some spots up to a half inch of rain by early next week. so looking at our seven-day forecast, low to mid-60s for today and tomorrow. a limb bit cooler on friday. more clouds on saturday. and look at sunday, that's when the scattered showers come in, and it is going to be cold. in fact, we're looking at more freezing warnings ahead going into the middle of next week. mike, you are watching the roads. any updates on any slowdowns? we had one that's changed twice. it went from an easy, light drive to a lot of traffic south across the golden gate bridge. now sorting back out to the speed limit again. it looks like they cleared that southbound direction with all the crew that is were there overnight. there's a traffic break. folks are held up on the marine county side and everything is back to normal getting into san francisco, fine coming up from the peninsula side. a couple smaller crashes, tracking the one at marina and

580 through the oakland hills. chp can give us an update. a smooth drive with construction picking up off 680. back to you. 5:21. next on "today in the bay," nbc bay area responds. >> reporter: you joined a gym on january 1st with the best of intentions, but now it's time to call it quits. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. we'll show you how to cancel a gym membership and protect yourself next. here we go. ♪♪ >> maybe you need to just get outside and exercise a little bit. i wasn't here the last couple of days because i finally got to take a trip up to tahoe and i went snow shoeing. >> it looks fun. >> it was a good workout. >> was it? >> yes, it was. you can keep up with me on twitter, instagram and facebook.

>> our biggest problem in our country is gun violence. that is one that deserves our attention and requires our voices to speak up, to put pressure on elected officials. >> reporter: yesterday the san mateo county sheriff's office indicated it would be sending their case to the san mateo county district attorney who will decide which specific charges to file. zhao scheduled to be arraigned at 1:30 this afternoon. reporting live in half moon bay, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> bob, thank you. we want to remind everyone about the nonprofit farm worker caravan holding an emergency supply drive for those affected by the half moon bay shootings. now there are a number of things they're asking for but the number one thing is food. they will be at the san jose women's club from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

omenihu on monday afternoon. police say officers responded to an incident at his santana row home involving his girlfriendship she declined medical attention and showed no advisable injuries but did obtain a temporary restraining order. omenihu is now out on bail. more confidential documents making the news. this time not on biden property. >> scott mcgrew, you were saying yesterday other politicians were probably checking files out. >> looking through them. >> and they probably shouldn't have. >> that's the honest thing to do, or maybe they're deliberately not so they wouldn't find out if they have classified documents. former vice president mike pence doing the honest thing and checking. and, yes, his office says, pence did discover documents inside two boxes. and pence did what biden did. his office immediately notified the national archives. here is fellow republican ted cruz speaking on fox news.

>> he's explained where these came from, what his office has put out is that in packing up the vice presidential offices that there were a couple of papers that were classified inadvertently put with nonclassified materials. that was a mistake, but there's no reason to think it was anything but inadvertent. >> this is what we were talking about yesterday, one of the new talking points is, hey, it just happens. just be honest about it. that seems to be what ted cruz is saying. here he is on the very same show when he's asked about biden's documents. >> a very serious problem of criminal liability and major crimes. and soap the fbi needs to search the university of delaware archives and they need to search hunter biden's home and business address. >> house speaker kevin mccarthy says two democratic congressmen will not be allowed to continue to serve on the house intelligence committee, both from california. adam schiff from southern california, eric swalwell from

northern california. both deeply involved in the impeachment of donald trump. here is mccarthy. >> swalwell, you all know, does not have -- or should have the responsibility to serve on the intel committee. when the fbi comes to you and warns you about what's transpiring, when eric swalwell in the private sector and can't get a security clearance there, we are not going to provide him with the secrets to america. >> there's no evidence swalwell would not get security clearance in the private sector. swalwell is not accused of doing anything wrong. some years ago the fbi warned swalwell a woman who fundraised for his office was associated with chinese intelligence. the fbi says swalwell worked with investigators. his critics implied there was some sort of relationship, but there's no evidence of that. what may be the big news of the day isn't quite news yet. president biden readying comments on ukraine, and we think that will involve in sending tanks to ukraine for

ukrainian forces to use. the germans announced they would allow the transfer of their leopard tank. we're watching this like a hawk, talking about it on social media. at twitter you can find me at scott mcgrew. 5:48 right now. some positive new trends for first-time home buyers trying to make it in the bay. red fin says san francisco prices are down 10% from one year ago. in san jose 7% lower. we spoke with one leading economist with some advice for anyone now looking to buy. >> if you are buying right now you are pretty much in the driver's seat, you can take your time when it comes to touring homes, offered under the asking price. and just really now is the time to strike if you have the means to do so. >> but it's the bay area so there are still some drawbacks in the current climate. mortgage rates are still rising. long-term monthly payments will
