people from both of the pursuit vehicles got out and ran after him. police did not describe where the shots started and where they ended, but we spotted a bullet hole in the windshield of a car parked at lloyd and castro streets, and bullet holes in a couple houses on lloyd. residents told me off camera. police also recovered bullet casings on lloyd street. police say the victim was able to get away uninjured and called police for help. when officers arrived on scene, the two chase cars and the people inside were gone. now, police are trying to find images of this whole situation as part of their ongoing investigation, and neighbors are trying to figure out how to fix the damage to their shot up homes and crashed cars on the street. in san francisco. sergio quintana, nbc, bay area news. leaders of several oakland nonprofits are frustrated, saying they're being targeted in a new round of painful budget cuts. last week, a member of the oakland city council indicated that 13 nonprofits would be losing funding to save $2.5 million. opponents say the groups provide critical services

and we are in a completely different place today, and it's because of how we need to care for our communities and our customers. i hope that's true. [joe] that's my commitment. [ambient noise] shopping centers, hoping to keep up with changing shopping habits by opening things up a little bit after tearing it down. our business and tech reporter, scott budman joins us here with a preview. going to look a little different, scott. yeah it will. jessica. the number of shopping malls that exist now is

just a fraction of what we saw in the decades before the online shopping boom, and those still operating here in the bay area have survived by adapting to changing times. in san mateo, the hillsdale mall just released its plan to change. whether they're near the fountain or the apple store. shoppers at the hillsdale mall have gotten used to milling around outside. when we're with the family, then we love to have that outside space. in the future, if the mall's new plans are approved, they'll be doing even more shopping outdoors. among new businesses and more than 1000 new homes. our goal is to, you know, create a new kind of urban neighborhood, urban village, if you will, that will, you know, have retail and office and residential, all in a mix of uses. the south part of the mall, which is now enclosed, will be demolished and replaced with a more open concept,

including 2,000,000ft■!s of retail, commercial and residential space. the north part of the mall will remain, as is all, part of updating what many feel has become an outdated shopping experience. but i think it's good for the economy. the city needs to be more modern. i think we were stuck in the past a little bit. all right, moving forward, the formal application with all the planned changes is expected to be turned in sometimeround april. it will then go in front of the san mateo city council for review. jessica. okay. thank you very much, scott. well, expectant families in hayward now have one less option for birthing. starting today. saint rose hospital is temporarily closing its family birthing center for up to 18 months. the hospital says there's been a consistent decrease in the number of births, and that's created challenges in maintaining high quality services for the community. so it decided to close the center to re-imagine

that unit. the emergency department and other services at the hospital, though, will remain open. some troubling news tonight about the health of pope francis. his bout with bronchitis has become more serious. today we learned the pope is suffering from pneumonia and that he has infected both lungs. the good news. the vatican says he had a peaceful night, was able to eat breakfast and that he is well enough and is improving. but he will have to stay in the hospital a bit longer. the pope is hospitalized with a pretty serious infection. it's called a polymicrobial infection because it's not just one, but possibly two or more bacteria causing this degree of an infection. thousands of catholics have flocked to rome's gemelli hospital, where the 88 year old pontiff has been since friday. the pope canceled more public events through the weekend as he continues to recover. and a blast of cold weather across the country, it is reaching from central texas as far north as the canadian border. over 80 million people

under extreme cold warnings right now. wind chill as low as -50 degrees in montana and minnesota. and there have been at least 14 deaths from severe flooding in kentucky. emergency crews there are working on a deadline trying to rescue people before a new round of snow moves in. officials across the country are advising people to stay home and to stay off the roads. joining me now is meteorologist rob mayeda, and we've seen these really extreme bouts of severe cold weather in different parts of the united states, everywhere east of the rockies, really dealing with this weather. we're kind of in a bubble here in california. we got 60s, mild temperatures. but you mentioned those wind chill factors well below zero. let's take you on a tour of those subfreezing temperatures around the country. a lot to see here on the map as you look at bismarck, north dakota, -11. that's not the wind chill. that's the actual air temperature outside. wind chill factors 30 degrees below zero when you factor in the wind. but notice how cold it is farther south is you get into kansas

city just three degrees and 26 degrees in dallas fort worth. so look at the progression here. if the national travel outlook, if you have travel plans to chicago or dallas tomorrow, highs in the 20s around the great lakes. you factor in the wind. it feels a lot colder than that. 32 in dallas fort worth and 25 degrees in nashvil. about 60% of the country dealing with these cold temperatures, but not here in the bay area. instead, we've got 60s with overcast skies around san jose. a little bit of rain possibility tomorrow around midday around the santa clara valley, 63 currently in dublin. and as you can see over in san rafael, more of the cloudy skies at 59 degrees and overcast. currently in san francisco at 55 degrees. now. by tomorrow morning, rain chances start to drop into the north bay. we wake up to 40 and during the day, highs will eventually approach the upper 50s and low 60s. scattered showers around midday and then clearing skies as early as tomorrow afternoon, so storm ranger will start to see more of that activity late tonight on

into tomorrow morning, starting off in the north bay. and this is the timeline with this particular weather system. notice there's not much raiain.n fact, a few areas may miss out on any measurable rainfall. at times it may feel a bit more like heavy drizzle. anything substantial likely falls here in northwestern sonoma county, most places seeing less than a 10th of an inch of rain. but to see the most of what we get will comeme down dung the morning commute there in the north bay from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m, north of the golden gate, then approaching lunchtime 11 to 12, a few areas of drizzle and scattered showers around the central bay, but look at the clearing. by 3:00 tomorrow afternoon, things start to wind down and high pressure builds in and watch where the temperatures are headed. and this three d outlook three day outlook from thursday into the start of the weekend, mid to upper 60s as early as thursday. by friday, downtown san jose getting closer to 70 degrees. and as we move forward into the weekend, upper 60s bayside and low to mid 70 possible around the santa clara valley. so with the changes

we'll see for the second half of the week. is high pressure diverting what will be a pretty significant atmospheric river boosted storm to the pacific northwest. and notice the warm conditions here. rain chances over the weekend could drop as far south as maybe the north coast. mendocino county northward might see a few showers saturday, but the bay area looking dry and actually feeling a lot more like spring weather starting as early as friday. so a chance of some light rain tomorrow, clearing by tomorrow afternoon, and then after that, san francisco has a chance of upper 60s for highs and valley locations starting friday, but peaking just in time for the weekend could be looking at low to mid 70s. nice weekend on the way. a little bit of rain to deal with though, especially for the morning commute tomorrow. but then after that things dry out and warm up over the next seven days. we have to be so grateful. compared to the rest of the country, it is the exact opposite. yeah. all right. thank you rob. all right. coming up, trying to save for a rainy day the growing number of people that are setting aside money f

an emergenorcy

laying off workers. southwest says it will be cutting about 15% of its workforce at its dallas headquarters. that's over 1700 employees. they were told most of them are in senior leadership positions. the cuts start in april. the airline says impacted employees will get a severance package. southwest says it's laying off workers in order to lower costs. the carrier estimates the cuts will save about $210 million. now the three major indexes sliding into the green today. the dow gained ten points, the nasdaq added 15, and the s&p 500 reached a new record high after 52 weeks, adding about 15 points today.

all right, here's a question. do you have an emergency fund? it seems americans were able to set aside money last year. that's according to a report by bankrate. it found that despite inflation and high interest rates, 30% of adults have more emergency savings now compared to a year ago. financial experts say having that money will help reduce the risk of missing a rent or a mortgage payment. they recommend having at least 3 to 6 months worth of expenses set aside, or more. if you're the sole breadwinner in your family, or if you're in business for yourself. okay. saturday night live's 50th anniversary show a big success. up next, the amount of people that

niversary special on sunday night. well, you were one of nearly 15 million people who did. the 3.5 hour extravaganza was packed with comedy sketches, superstar musical performances, unexpected cameos. that was the funniest skit in the whole show. you're looking at it right there. it delivered the biggest audience for the network for a nighttime entertainment show since the 2020 golden globes. nbc says only the macy's thanksgiving day parade has been a bigger viewership draw in

recent years. you must watch that close encounter sketch. funniest thing you'll ever see. all right, don't forget you can watch newscast 24/7 on pluto and other streaming platforms. janelle raj with what's coming up at 530. i agree with you. sorry. it's really funny. it was really funny. here's what we're working on. trouble for the csu system. more cuts are on the way for universities in the bay area and across the state. the large amount. san jose state has already slashed despite enrollment being up. also, a mural at a palo alto courthouse is drawing criticism. why? the naacp wants it taken down and why santa clara county is reluctant to do so. and another sign of our climate in crisis. the parts of the bay area where land is sinking at troubling rates. the news at 530 starts right now. thanks so much for joining us. i'm janelle wang. and i'm raj mati. more cuts are looming for the csu system.

that means san jose state, san francisco state, cal state, east bay and sonoma state. declining enrollment at most of the campuses across the state is the main reason. however, enrollment at san jose state is increasing and now students are fighting back. here's nbc bay area's damian trujillo. even with an increase in enrollment, san jose state is still paying the price. more cuts are looming in year 2526, just as they are across the csu system. san jose state has seen a boom in school enrollment. almost a 4% jump this year, welcoming the largest freshman class in campus history, making them an outlier in the csu system. being in the heart of silicon valley helped the university opened the college of information, data and society that is a new college at the university that focuses on ai social good things along that line. and we have students who want to come in and be a part of those programs. many otr
