yesterday. and definitely windy for later today with those gusts at 25 to 30 miles per hour. s especially near the coast. i'll talk about the cooler weather coming our way and you're looking at two crashes. >> i am. lighter traffic because more school is off this weekend trivalley behind the 680 shield, we have a crash reported at northbound 680. but the distraction for the southbound commute is enough to slow things down a bit more off the dublin interchange. you're clear by the time you get to golden gate, but a few smaller crashes in the area. back to you. >> thank you. the investigation in morning still appears to be wide open in the weekend shooting on interstate 880 that killed a

5-year-old girl. >> we're also learning more about the victim as family and friends grieve this senseless tragedy. what can you tell us? >> reporter: good morning. truly a senseless tragedy when we're talking about the deadly ( shooting that killed a 5 yeeshld. we know that authorities are searching for the suspects in all of this. but as that's taking place, you're hearing from a close family friend of that 5-year-old victim. the victim we're talking about is 5-year-old that was shot and killed along 880 over the weekend as she was riding in the car with her family. police are trying to determine that this connected to another shooting that took place in the area around the psalm time over the weekend. now we did get a chance to speak with the mom's best friend who says they are grieving. she was going to turn 6 in a matter of weeks.

>> she was a great kid. this shouldn't have happened to her. everybody was her friend. she loved to laugh, smile and hang out with her family. >> reporter: so as far as that investigation goes, no arrests have been made so far. as i mentioned earlier, investigators say that another shooting did take place in that area around the same time. the suspects in that have been arrested, but it's unclear if it's connected to this freeway shooting. so if you have any information to help with this case, contact chp. >> thank you very much for the latest there. police hoping you know the person in this surveillance image. take a look. he maybe tied to grabbing and groping a woman campus. it happened at 12:30 this morning at the foothill complex. the woman fought back and got away. investigator says the latest

>> so much snowfall out there. >> what we don't want is for it to melt too quickly. even though people are saying it's been cold, we want it to warm up gradually, look at how much snow is out there. we're at 2 to 3 times our normal amount of snow pack. and the average is about 126 inches of snowfall. the water equivalent of 54 inches of rain. and all of that water there as that snow melt, it's a huge amount of water that we have there. and now we are seeing sunshine and also we're starting out with cooler temperatures for our average highs. we'll reach into the ■÷mmid-60s today. 64 in hayward. and 66 today in dublin. so many of these temperatures will be about 10 to maybe degrees lower than yesterday. we had a taste of summer, we'll bring it back to springtime.

abortions. >> we will prevail in court. this one judge in one state should not have the ability to undermine safe and effective medicines that millions of americans rely on. >> more than 400 pharmaceutical executives signed an1 letter condemning the texas judge decision. the drug maker isn't concerned any drug to a yet to be developed drug that cures cancer would be the subject of the opinion of a court instead of the fda. now there's no question the fight over abortion is having a result at the ballot box. it's driving democrats to vote. that's alarmed some republicans. nancy mace out of south carolina told the "new york times," if we can show that we care just a
