i just feel sad. like i want to know who, when, where, why? why in lewiston, maine? >> a statewide manhunt in main after mass shootings leave up to 20 people dead and many more injured. the person of interest authorities are looking for at this hour. this is "today in the bay." thursday morning, a good morning to you all. i am marcus washington. >> i am laura garcia. we will get to the breaking news in a moment. first, i want to get a look at the forecast. it's a cold start to our thursday. >> oh, we are feeling it this

morning. >> even in the studio we are. >> yeah. it's going to be cold, not just this morning but the next several mornings. santa rosa, the coldest temperature on the map. make sure you are dressed in layers because we will have a mild afternoon. at 45 in hayward, and 45 in san francisco. in dublin, as you get ready to head out, it's a clear view. we are in the upper 40s right now. we stay in the 40s through 8:00, then it gradually warms up with a lot of sunshine today. expect a high of 68 degrees. still kind of cool for this time of year even. we are going to see upper 60s and low 70s, and, mike, hopefully, everything is looking nice and smooth. it's looking nice and smooth, but that does not mean everything is clear. a smooth flow across 92, and that's good. the flat section, and the incline, that's west in this

direction. there's something going on in san francisco off of highway 101. we will check on that. 101 in the south bay, typical slowing in san josé, and that's easing off now. it will build again in about half an hour. we do have an issue over here, walnut creek. this issue here just past the walnut creek interchange, a cinder block on 680. hope to get that cleared. back to you. we continue to follow breaking news in maine. authorities say up to 20 people are dead following shootings at a bar and bowling alley. it happened last night in the city of lewiston. >> here's a live look for you. one of the two very active scenes this morning. we also know up to 50 people injured. sources say some were injured during a stampede as they were running for their lives. that tragedy first unfolded at 7:00 p.m. local time, and today

many schools and officers are shutdown as residents are being told to stay home if possible with their doors locked. >> there were two locations, one was a bowling alley and the other is a restaurant. this is the scene outside the bowling alley. authorities are expected to update that investigation sometime around 7:30 hour time this morning. >> that statewide manhunt under way right now. the person of interest the man you see here, 40-year-old robert card, and authorities believe he's an army reservist and firearms instructor. let's go to brie jackson this morning. >> good morning. we are learning more about the person of interest here. police say robert card has approximately 20 years of

military service and was reported to have been committed to a mental health facility for two weeks over the summer. at least 15 to 20 people were killed and dozens more injured in the mass shooting in lewiston, maine. >> this is something you never expect. >> the shootings happened in two locations, a bowling alley and restaurant. >> out of nowhere, he just came in and there was a loud pop and i thought it was a balloon, had my back turned to the door. as soon as i turned and saw he was holding a weapon, i booked it. >> brandon hid behind the lanes on top of the pin machines until police arrived. officers named the 40-year-old card as a person in the attack. he is a trained firearms instructor and believed to be an army reserve and recently reported mental health issues

including hearing voices to shoot up a national guard base in maine. people in the community await word on their loved ones and friends. >> i feel sad. i want to know who, when, why? why would he do this? why in lewiston, maine. >> pray for the families and the victims. god, things have got to change. >> another community devastated. president biden spoke by phone to maine's governor and several members of congress who represent maine and offered full federal support in the wake of the latest mass shooting. marcus, laura? >> changing lives forever. brie, thank you. >> we will continue to track all the developments on this latest shooting as the story -- as soon as any new developments come in. the "today" show will also talk to the mayor of lewiston coming

up at 7:00, right after "today in the bay." our other top stories developing overnight, israel is intensifying its war on hamas who targeted raids inside gaza and preparing the world for what happens next. >> the united nations, they are going to have an emergency meeting in just two hours. it's the tenth such session focused on the escalating war between israel and hamas that has civilians on both sides of the conflict stuck in the middle. this is the first video of the aftermath in gaza city where rescue crews are searching for survivors. the gaza health ministry said the death toll in this attack is greater than 750 people in just 24 hours. we have no way to know how many are civilians and how many are

combatants. this is from israel overnight as there was a raid launched in the northern part of the gaza strip. they used banks in preparation for what they are calling, quote, the next stage of combat. in a statement the idf claims they hit missile launch posts to prepare the battlefield. to be clear, though, this is not the full-scale invasion that israel has been threatening. last night the prime minister of israel, benjamin netanyahu, said the ground invasion is coming but only israel will know when and how it will happen. president biden asked israel to pause the offensive to allow humanitarian aid for the civilians of gaza to get in, but if the international calls for a cease-fire are any indication, the president's pause likely won't happen. the biggest hospital in gaza is in the middle of the air strike zone and is running out of fuel and water and medicine as more

and more patients continue to show up every day. >> i mean, need change. just lull in the bombing would create hope for my fellow doctors and nurses. >> palestinian health officials said more than 7,000 people were killed in gaza, and in israel more than 1,400 people killed, mostly regular people, not soldiers. we are monitoring these developments and posting updates on nbcbayarea.com and on our social platforms. we expect those developments may be coming faster and more frequently in the hours ahead. >> kris, thank you. overnight a deadly pedestrian crash in the east bay. this happened just before 10:30 last night on the bay view off-ramp in richmond.

that pedestrian was running across the interstate when that accident happened. traffic was impacted for a short time. all lanes are back open. it's 6:08. we have been watching the trial of bankman-fried. he may take the stand in his own defense as he tries to avoid decades in prison. scott mcgrew is following this for us as well. the key word is he may take the stand. >> of course. yes, bankman-fried was accused of fraud, and we are getting the language of may and should take the stand from his lawyers, laura. they are writing submissions to the judge saying should our client testify, so we can't say for sure up until the last moment if he will testify. we expect he will use the advice of counsel statements, but it's the judge would bar

bankman-fried from saying the same on the witness stand. >> many lawyers want to keep their clients off the witness stand, and it's not always the best idea to have your client d. >> clients want to explain themselves and then they open themselves up to cross examination from the prosecution, and he may not have much to lose because the research -- the ceo already testified against him. she told the court everything sbf did, and she was also his former girlfriend. laura, his former best friend testified against him as well. this is not going his way, and taking the stand may be worth it. >> like you say, hey, i want to

tell my story, which is interesting. >> thank you. let's take a live look this morning near communications hill in san josé. a dark and early start to our morning. meteorologist, kari hall, is looking at what we can expect. >> it's going to be a nice afternoon, but we start out chilly. outside in oakland as you head off to work, we are already seeing a lot of people out the door. pleasant hill, starting out at 45 degrees. take a look at the recovery we will have. for the afternoon and even after a cool start, we will head for the upper 60s and low 70s. 68 in fremont. 69 in los gatos and novato. as we take it into the day tomorrow, really not much of a change. some of our coastal areas get cooler, and as you make saturday plans expect it to be a touch warmer with the low 70s.

relatively speaking, folks who are not familiar with the bay bridge toll plaza will give an ooph. once you get past the toll plaza, everything is moving nicely into san francisco. a little build in and out of richmond and through richmond. a little more slowing out of vallejo. nice and smooth for highway 4. the cinder block still out there, so watch for that. there could be degree in the lanes of oyster point boulevard. and scott mcgrew made us a new holiday, and you probably won't like it. and robin williams' home for sale, and we will tell you how much you will have to pay if you want to make it yours.

good thursday morning. let's get a look at what to expect as you step out the door in brentwood. you are in the upper 40s right now, and the wind is calming down and mostly clear. throughout the morning it will be chilly and at least it will be sunny, and eventually we will have a mild afternoon as we head for the low 70s. we will get a look at all the microclimates and the changes coming up.

palo alto showing plenty of lights. the peninsula, getting there slower on the san mateo bridge. we will show you how things are shaping up around the bay. happy thursday to you. a lot going on today. investors nervous about tech and it's showing up definitely in the indices. we got the latest gdp figures for the third quarter, that's july, august and september. they were big, robust numbers for a time when some said we would be in a recession. ford said it made a deal with striking auto workers. scholastic books reversing itself, will no longer put certain books like some books about black people or people from different family arrangements into separate

categories so schools can keep them away from kids. some school systems or states have restrictions on what books can be in school, books involving race or sexuality or gender, and so scholastic started to put the books in categories to help school systems stay away from them and about justice ketanji brown jackson. even a book called "i am ruby bridges" written ruby bridges. as long as we are talking about equality, there's a equal payday and it's the length of time the

median woman has to work into the next year to make what the median man makes of this year. i did the math and worked out the figures. today is the opposite of equal payday for women. it's equal payday for men. this is the day we have to work until this year to make the money that women will make by working all the way through the end of the year. in other words, the data shows the average man could go home at the end of the day today and not come back to work until 2024 and end up with the same money for the same work. now, lots of economists have issues with some of the data. >> uh-huh. >> particularly when you are talking about not the same work, but just men and women. but i like the equal payday, the women one, and the men one you may not like so much, because it does focus in on the problem. that doesn't come until next year. >> isn't that unbelievable?

>> so many more women now are heads of the household -- >> yeah, or the biggest earner -- >> yeah, and men should make more because they are the head of the household. >> yeah, the data is coming and it's trending the right way, but we are not there. >> yeah, median women, and we are not taking into consideration women of color, you know. trending this morning you can own this san francisco home formerly owned by the late robin williams. his mansion being listed for $25 million. williams renovated the home in the 1990s and lived there on and off with his children for many years. it has six bedrooms, and windows overlooking the golden gate bridge. it has secret passage ways designed for his kids. how fun.

nice listings for that agent. >> cha-ching. >> the views are beautiful, and pretty much throughout the bay area, you have beautiful views. >> yeah, and it's going to be clear. we will see everything, no worries about the fog over the golden gate bridge. the cooler temperatures are settling in, and the wind is calming down and the temperatures are dipping, especially for the north bay. take a look at santa rosa. we are at 38 degrees. yes, you need the layers for today, because it's a cold start and we are mostly seeing mid to upper 40s and mid-50s. we will also be much cooler for the past several days. make sure the kids have a jacket on their way out the door. it will be 5 to 11 degrees cooler. take a look at where we are headed for today. upper 60s and even reaching 70

degrees in east san josé. gilroy, 70 degrees this afternoon. after this chilly start it will be so comfortable for the middle of the afternoon. it takes a while for us to get up to 71 in concord. i think we will hit that temperature around 3:00 or 4:00 and then temperatures dip once again. we are looking at upper 60s for san mateo and san francisco in the mission district. going beyond the next several days to see if there's more rain coming our way, and we got a few sprinkles yesterday. i don't see anything through at least november 5th, and that's when we will see the approach of some rain moving into northern california. we will have cold fronts between now and then, but they look to be dry as they pass. the next cold front comes tomorrow, and gilroy will see highs in the upper 60s. the weekend is nice and mild, and then we will gradually warm up. then there will be another front dipping in by the end of next week, but still no rain.

we are looking at our forecast lead into the weekend as well as halloween. we will have cold, crisp mornings and a nice and mild afternoon. a lot of sunshine in the forecast. san francisco in the mid-60s today. we will also see mid-40s for lows, even as we go into the middle of next week. mike, you are tracking more crowded roadways? >> yes, we are still moving smoothly and slower. folks able to change lanes, and no brake light tapping just yet but will be coming over in the next 15 minutes. the drive is a little below the speed limit. off 880, more slowing in the flow. the south bay, a mild build for san josé. contra costa county, there's a build for highway 4. that's consistent. we continue with more slowing, vasco into contra costa county, that's moving at just under half

an hour. >> thank you. up next, "nbc bay area responds." >> a contractor fixed one problem but created another and then did not respond to one of our viewers. but we did. but we did. that'sur name. o

welcome back. it's 6:25 right now. nbc bay area responds to a north

bay man whose sprinkler system stumped him. >> he couldn't get a hold of the contractor, so he called chris chmura and his team to lend a hand. >> good morning. sal in novato said his home irrigation system was not working. a landscaping contractor said the problem was the controller, so he paid them 526 bucks for a new one with installation. the problem is sal says the new controller is complicated and he couldn't figure out how to use it. he called and email the contractor for a week asking for a lesson or a refund. sal says he didn't get a response. so he turned to our team, the response team. we reached out to the contractor. the next day a rep went to sal's home and got him and his system up to speed and he was satisfied. the contractor told us we did exactly what we promised sal. landscapers do need a license,

specifically a c 27 license to do any job that costs more than 500 bucks. sal's contractor was licensed. we looked him up on the state's website, right there. anytime you are hiring a contractor, start here, visit this website. the license check is right there, the first black circle with the checkmark. snap the qr code on your screen to fill out our consumer complaint form online. >> have to use that website. thank you. we continue to follow breaking news out of maine this morning and the mass shootings that left up to 20 people dead. the manhunt under way right now. just ahead for you this morning, details overnight about the person of interest authorities person of interest authorities are now s

another community forever changed. authorities say up to 20 people are dead following shootings at a bar and bowling alley. it happened in the city of lewiston in maine. here's a live look at one of the two very active scenes this morning. we hope to bring that to you. >> we also know up to 50 people are injured. sources also telling us some were injured during a stampede as they were trying to run for their lives. that tragedy unfolding at 7:00 local time.

many schools and offices shutdown with residents being told to stay home if at all possible, and also lock your doors. >> a community forever changed. 20 people or more are dead after mass shootings in lewiston. many families in lewiston are living out a nightmare, including the father of a man that works at the bar. he still has not heard from his son. in the meantime, the mayor of lewiston's sister city, auburn, is speaking out on the "today" show. >> we know the 40-year-old man is now being identified as a person of interest. a vehicle tied to that shooting has now been found. we had the latest now on the ground from nbc's sam brock, in

lewiston. >> reporter: at this very moment communities here in central maine are shelter in place orders, and that includes lisbon where the vehicle was identified last night, auburn, lewiston, and boden, and all of them are under shelter in place, stay in your home orders. you look over my shoulder and see law enforcement presence right here, and law enforcement down the hill, that's the bar and sports grill where one of the two killings occurred yesterday around 7:00 last night, eastern standard. there are two locations we know of, where a somebody came in and shot 15 to 20 people, and that number is still being verified. as many as 50 others were injured. the bowling alley and the bar are four to five miles apart.

the chronology is not clear. authorities are searching for a person of interest, robert card. police have not called him a suspect as of yet. they are definitely searching for him as the suspect in the case, and we have seen somebody with a semiautomatic gunning people down at the bowling alley, and it was teen night. lives have changes forever from what happened last night. we have presence from the fbi, local state and federal law enforcement. roughly 100 investigators are out right now searching for card. last night they located his car in nearby lisbon, but nothing since then. we are expecting an update in law enforcement as to where things stand, and not clear how

much information they will divulge. hearts are broken and crushed and this makes no sense to anybody and their lives changed for generations to come. >> i can't imagine all the pain that community is going through right now. really across the country and here at home, the shootings in maine reigniting that debate about gun safety. today in the bay's ginger conejero saab joins us in san francisco. local leaders not holding back once again. >> reporter: that is correct, laura. they are speaking out this time. we have heard it before, but now they are calling for action from the federal level. they want change. they say something more needs to be done in order for this not to happen again. governor gavin newsom taking to social media, saying maine does

not have the gun restrictions, and he wants congress to take action on gun control. and having pushed for legislation this past summer to ban firearms in public spaces. she said she's devastated with the latest tragedy saying it should have been prevented. and san francisco attorney, david shoe, expressing his frustration about the pushback. >> we need politicians with a backbone to put a end to the carnage. >> knowing as a society we could do better than this if we put into place strong gun safety laws. >> and chui worked with

legislators to ban firearms. some laws have been challenged in recent years in the courts. exactly a week ago a district court judge ruled the decades-old california law that bans ownership and transfer of specific brands and firearms unlawful. and at this time assault weapons restrictions do remain in effect. the same district court also issued a decision invalidating california's large capacity magazine ban. that ruling is under appeal as well. as this back and forth continues in the courts, as the debates play out on the public stage, these lives, the tragedies continue and lives forever impacted and changed, laura. >> completely. i think everybody is feeling it across the country, once again. thank you, ginger.

be sure to stay with nbc bay area for the latest news, and we are tracking any new details on-air, and, of course, online. and then there's word of an arrest from a shooting at a packed party. a teen died and three others injured, and now police arrested an 18-year-old of antioch. they are not saying if he's connected to oakley's freedom high school. parents were saying they were fearing a retaliation shooting would happen. the investigation is ongoing. a follow-up this morning about a story about a traveling puppet show brought to a standstill when it was stolen. police recovered the u haul containing the costumes.

this is a thousand-year-old persian love story with sold-out shows in seattle. the thieves stole the truck outside the van ness hotel, and all the pieces were recovered but the thieves kept the electric equipment, but at least their upcoming show in seattle will go on as planned. it takes so much time to make intricate little pieces like that. now that show will go on in seattle as they found that truck. >> kind of sad i missed it in san francisco. looks like an interesting show. maybe it will return. i am sure they will be a little cautious to come back. let's look for good news this morning. taking a live look outside. you know where that is, i-80 at donner summit. there was snow that hit the area, the first in a while. caltrans lifted the chain requirements. don't need them now.

they lifted it last night, but chp still telling drivers to take it slow. palisades tahoe posted images from the slopes and plans to open november 22nd. the thing is we will need a lot more snow before they can even get their snow machines working to have enough to ski down the mountains. >> but we have the cold temperatures. it will be very chilly this weekend. in the next several days, if you want to go, get the first glimpses of the snowfall that fell. you have to pack up a lot of layers. i can kind of see a little snow on the mountain there as we take a live look at the camera on palisades tahoe. check out the temperatures. 18 degrees tonight. very cold. it's going to be chilly throughout the weekend with highs in the low 40s, but it will be sunny. seeing the sun on the snow, it will definitely be a nice view there. taking a look at san josé and what to expect as we go throughout the day.

it will be in the upper 50s to start. we are also feeling a cooldown, and i will track that as well as what is ahead for the weekend coming up. mike, you are tracking a crash? >> yeah, kari, look, in san josé, the 280 over crossing here, and the traffic coming towards us was heading northbound on 280. the speeds are recovering even though we did not see the traffic moving right here where the camera is at the worst of it. a crash is reported behind the building, so we can't see that reporting on winchester. that could be a factor still. looks like the speed sensors are again changing, so i hope we have lanes open. two lanes were closed involving a vehicle that turned over. so far the rest of the bay, typical build up for the san mateo bridge and the bay bridge is backed up. the house is open for

business. the new house speaker and the president both calling for compromise. plus -- >> i am bob redell and we are taking to alcatraz island which is celebrating a milestone. 50 years as a tourist attraction. stay with us. you'reatching "today in the w at cretors, we handcraft every batch of our delicious popcorn. like our cretors cheese and caramel mix. great on their own, even better together. try cretors, handcrafted small-batch popcorn.

good thursday morning. the time is 6:43. let's get a look at napa and what to expect. it's a cold morning as you step out the door.

we are still in the low 40s at 8:00. and at noon, in the 60s. we will see more weather like this into the weekend. we will talk more about that in a couple minutes. and then traffic northbound 280 is jammed up right around winchester. i do see the lights -- you see them starting to move? that is not the case the last few minutes. president biden says that he hopes he can find common ground with the new speaker of the house. >> scott mcgrew, mike johnson says much of the same. >> much of the same. common ground. compromise. johnson, a very conservative republican, of course. his politics are far away from biden, who is pretty centrist, and way, way far away from congress on the liberal left. some of the first words out of

his mouth after he was sworn in were about compromise, and not just with democrats, although that will be important. speaker johnson will also have to force members of his own fractured party to compromise with each other, something mccarthy could not do. >> we are in the majority right now. we have gone through a little suffering. we have gone through a little character building, and you know what it has produced? more strength, more perseverance and a lot of hope and that's what we are about to deliver to the american people. >> johnson's election as speaker in itself was an enormous surprise. we figured he would lose the vote. three dozen republicans did not favor him, and johnson could only afford four no votes, not 36. but it was unanimous, all in favor. johnson is anti-abortion, and he's vocally anti-gay marriage,

and that could please maga, but a poll shows a majority supports abortion rights and gay marriage. president biden hosted a state dinner with the prime minister of australia at the white house last night. this was a prescheduled party. it comes during somber times. the president stepped away so he could be briefed on the shootings in main and the situation in israel. he warned people to leave the palestinians alone. >> that has to stop now. >> former president donald trump has been fined by the court again. he said the judge in the civil case was partisan, and so too was the person sitting next to him, and people thought that

meant the law clerk. the judge said say whatever you want about me, but leave my staff of it. trump claimed he was speaking about one of the witnesses, michael cohen, but the judge did not buy it and fined trump $10,000. >> thank you very much, scott. taking a live look outside. it's too dark out there, but you can make it out, right? alcatraz. >> today marks five decades of tourist visiting alcatraz. bob redell takes us on a tour inside the island. >> here we are on broadway, this is where many of the inmates were housed. you may not realize, it started out as a fort but then ended up

as a penitentiary. 50 years ago today alcatraz opened up for public tours. >> by and large it was a wonderful place to grow up. >> she lived on alcatraz as a child while her father worked in the prison. she points out inmates did not come to alcatraz for their crimes, rather their bad behavior while incarcerated. >> there were many series about what we should do with the island, and one was to make it a resort and turn it into a rich person's enclave. this was really the best solution, i thought, at the time, and still do. >> in 1962, a loud siren awoke her after guards discovered the makeshift dummies in the beds of three prisoners that tunnelled out of their cells and escaped

off the island. jolene has her theory on what happened. >> guys that come here are high profile because of their behavior, and when you leave a prison like alcatraz, you take that behavior with you, and you tend to be noticeable. you can break it down to two facts. no bodies in the bay. no trace on land. no evidence on land. but no evidence on land is by far the biggest clue that they probably never came out of the water. >> fortunately, not behind the bars but here as a tourist on alcatraz, bob redell for "today in the bay." >> it's a very, very cool thing. a unique thing we have here in the bay area. >> so much to see. yeah, it's nice and clear, and you can see it's a rock. >> yeah, you don't have to do the boat ride and all that stuff, although i highly recommend it. >> wait until family comes to town. they always want to go. >> unless you like seagulls.

>> yeah, i always look at the landscaping and the beautiful flowers they have. it's really amazing. it's going to be cool today and sunshine in the forecast. lots of changes as we go through the next couple of days. going into the weekend, our temperatures starting out in the low 40s, even in san francisco with our clear view this morning around the city. the cold front moved through yesterday and now we are getting the cool air rushing down, the clouds well near southern california and moving away from the bay area. we are seeing temperatures in parts of the north bay dipping into the upper 30s. santa rosa checking in at 38 degrees. it's cold there but we are seeing the low 40s in parts of the east bay. a bit of a range in temperatures, and brentwood as you are starting out, it's 50 and clear with a light wind.

the temperatures will stay on the cool side for the next couple of hours. sunshine today gradually warming up, but we do make a nice recovery. even though it's a cold morning, take a look at where we are headed. upper 60s and low 70s, which is cooler than normal. it's going to be a nice afternoon. i say if you like the slightly warmer temperatures, 3:00, 4:00, 5:00, that's your time to get outside, and after that the temperatures dip quickly for the evening. oakland, expect a high of 69 degrees. up to 67 in redwood city and san mateo. and then 66 in mill valley. sonoma today, 68 degrees. as we look to see if there's more rain, because a few got sprinkles yesterday, but there's nothing else until maybe the end of next weekend. that's november 5th. we are seeing the approach of a system that could bring us rain.

even though there could be cold fronts coming in, it looks dry. the next cold front comes in tomorrow, but the rain is staying off the coast. and then as we go into the halloween holiday, we will have the temperatures in the mid-40s. if you are planning your costume, maybe something a little warm. we are going to be chilly at night but will have nice days ahead. mike, you are tracking a crash in san josé and the backup there. >> north bay 280, kari. the good news, chp provided an update saying only one lane instead of two are blocked. the tow truck is trying to get here and it's stuck like everybody else, and they are trying to get permission to use the right-hand shoulder. but the backup is continuing to build. this traffic northbound 280, again, the crash is at winchester, and that's also

affecting folks coming up 285. mike, it's 6:52. happening now, san francisco leaders want to make a difference when it comes to halting the surge in car break-ins. the lawmakers plan to announce new legislation in sacramento. it will call for a boost to help local law enforcement. jenkins recently vowed to be more aggressive in prosecuting car breakin' suspects. we just received an update on the casualties of last night's deadly mass shooting. plus, the latest on the

we are moving you forward with a look at our top stories on "today in the bay," starting with our breaking news this morning all happening in maine. >> moments ago we got an update from authorities who now say 18 people died in last night's shooting at a bar and a bowling alley. four people are in critical condition. another 60 are injured. the sources are saying some were hurt during a stampede as they were running for their lives. that tragedy started unfolding around 7:00 local time. people in the surrounding area are being told to stay at home if at all possible and to lock their doors. this is with many schools and offices shutdown today. the two shooting scenes are four miles apart. authorities are identifying robert card as the person of interest. he's a long-time army reservist
