shooting has shut down the civic center bart station. kristi, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, frank. trains are coming through civic center bart but not stopping that's because of that shooting that occurred last night right here around 9:30 police received a call about a man wobbling along the tracks possibly under the influence of drugs and alcohol and carrying a knife. shortly after police responded and the man was shot, killed and pronounced dead around 10:00 p.m. >> two officers working the trains downtown san francisco we immediately responded to the scene, confronted the suspect, the next dispatch was shots fired. soon to follow with the suspect was down. there were no officers injured in this shooting. >> reporter: now i did speak with the p.i.o. for bart and he said one of those officers who just found out was injured has sustained minor cuts and bruises and still trying to figure out why that was. there's still a lot of questions in general in this shooting, for example, police are not saying why the man was

shot nor are they saying if he was shot by one officer or both officers. and the question still remains of how many shots were fired. some witnesses reported hearing three shots. others a different number. and police haven't commented if the man who witnesses say was carrying the knife was the same as the man who was shot. they did say they found glass and knives at the scene. bart is continuing to investigate into this and see if policy and procedures were followed and then the san francisco police department is investigating this as a homicide. if you're commuting this morning no stops at civic center bart station. trains will go through. we'll keep you updated as we get more information this morning. back to you. all right. kristi live in san francisco, thanks. and a bloody night in the richmond area. four people have been killed and several others injured in multiple shootings there. the first happened about 8:30 on ohio avenue. a man now in critical condition. then about 10:40 on ruby street two people were shot and killed. this happened in an

unincorporated area of contra costa county. about half hour later one person killed in the 3200 block on center avenue. we have unconfirmed reports at this hour that a second person was shot at that location as well. and then in a 4th of july incident one person was killed and another is in critical condition. this happened at first street and mcdonald avenue area. police are investigating whether all the shootings are connected. we're going to have a live report on these shootings coming up at 5:00. federal investigators are looking into an emergency landing on a peninsula freeway where a plane struck a car. the zizania 210 touching down on the northbound 280 and woodside near farm hill boulevard happened ashed 7:15 last night. federal aviation administration says the plane left and hit the back of a wednesday while on the freeway.

issued a may day call before trying to land the flight. no reports of any injuries. the national transportation safety board as you might imagine is investigating that landing. fireworks may be the cause of a fire that burned dozens of cars in south san francisco. the fire happened yesterday at an overflow lot for hertz rental cars on mitchell avenue some time before 3:00 witnesses spotted cars and flames. firefighters found about ten cars on fire with strong winds fueling those flames. >> the wind blowing in the northeast direction that it is was catching the grass underneath the vehicle so it's an unpaved parking lot and therefore catching more vehicles and more vehicles. we were chasing basically a grass fire under vehicles that were then catching on fire. >> 45 cars burned in all and the fire continued to smolder for hours. investigators found some fireworks debris but not where the fire started. witnesses say they heard fireworks but they may have just been popping sounds from

the burning cars. well, if you made it through yesterday's heat today should be a piece of cake. spare the air day limits are lifted today. temperatures in the 80s and 90s and a whole lot of people at pools, parks and picnic grounds around the area any place they can stay cool and enjoy a holiday weekend with good food and family. >> this is special to come out with the family. all the kids sent them to the pool and raging waters and when they come back nice and ready. lot of folks headed to tahoe got they are still skiing. at squaw valley a warm day up there as well but highs in the 80s all around the lake. that didn't stop a lot of folks from strapping the boards on and letting it go. we're staying warm on this 4th of july as well, but we're going to get a little bit of a break today, right, lawrence? yeah. temperatures going to cool down a little bit.

some spots well inland near 100 degrees. looks like we'll see that cooling especially towards the coastline. right now most of the coast is clear. i think a little bit later on today we may begin to see some patchy fog developing out toward the beaches. numbers right now very warm in spots. 70 degrees right now in concord. 64 livermore. 65 san jose. 50s as you approach the coastline. but clear skies all around the bay area. this afternoon again those temperatures soaring well into the 90s inland about 97 in livermore. 94 concord and 91 in san jose. toward the coast temperature there in the 60s for highs and we may begin to see a couple of patches of fog. so it looks liked to the temperatures cool slightly. tomorrow we're going to warm up again in spots inland over the century mark and some of thein interior spots. wednesday things cool down more so but in the week more fog going to intrude in some of the valleys and that will cool us down probably headed below normal as we look toward next weekend.

that's a look at your forecast. back to you. can't complain. that looks great. okay, lawrence, thanks. look at today's public transit. it's loaded. bart and muni running on a sunday schedule. remember, the civic center station is not open because of those shootings. extra muni service for fireworks shows, golden gate transit, sam transit all running on a sunday schedule as well as cal train. also extra trains for san francisco fireworks shows coming up tonight. more drunken driving arrests in the bay area this 4th of july from friday night to saturday morning highway patrol officers arrested 67 people suspected of driving under the influence. that's ten more arrests that same period last independence day weekend. dui arrests are also up statewide. 442 drivers arrested this year compared to just 396 last year. no word yet if alcohol was a factor in a car trash that killed a fremont man in richmond yesterday morning. cal train is expected to have cameras on its trains by the end of the year.

the cameras will be at the front and the back of each of their trains. they'll record accidents and suicides and suspicious activities along the tracks. the chronicle reports the board will probably award a contract for the cameras this week. half a million dollars state grant will help to pay for them. the jury will likely begin deliberating today in the murder trial of casey anthony. she is the florida woman accused of murdering her 2-year- old daughter. but as karen brown tells us, the defense has been pressing its case that the death was an accident. >> reporter: casey anthony's defense spent its file hours in front of the jury trying to convince them there's not enough evidence to convict her of murder. >> the reason you don't have that evidence that they're desperately trying to find is because it's an unprovable case. >> reporter: in their closing arguments they try to discredit the state's charge that the 25- year-old suffocated her 2-year- old daughter, caylee, with

chloroform and duct tape by meticulously attacking the forensic evidence. then they pointed the finger at anthony's father saying he covered up an accidental drowning. they were not allowed to bring up allegations that he molested his daughter as an explanation of her bizarre behavior because the judge ruled they failed to prove it. >> i don't think anybody here can justify her actions, but they do not constitute murder. >> reporter: many of the seven women and five men on the jury appeared tired as the day wore on. they've now been sequestered for six weeks and finally expected to begin deliberating later today. but first the prosecution will have the final word with their rebuttal to the defense. prosecutors have already detailed how casey anthony spent the month following caylee's disappearance lying and partying with her new boyfriend. >> we can only hope that the chloroform was used before the tape was applied so that caylee

went peacefully. >> reporter: the prosecution claims anthony killed her daughter because she did not want to be a mom. the defense believes she's an imperfect mother who's wrongly accused. soon the jury will decide. karen brown, cbs news, orlando, florida. it's 4:40 now. the ceo's paychecks fatter than ever and a bay area media start up prepares to make a splash on wall street. also more people are taking that five finger discount. what you're going to see why experts say a spike in shoplifting is actually a good thing. and a race to clean up after a massive oil spill in the famous yellowstone river. the dispute about the damage to wildlife when we come back. stay with us. ,,,,,,,,

employees -- employee shoplifting is on the rise. according to experts that's good news for the economy. the study by the national retail federation says the spike in stealing suggests the economy is on the upswing. analysts say that's because employees are willing to take more risk when they have a better chance of finding a job. the report shows retailers did lose $37 billion last year from theft up from $33.5 billion in 2005. well, if you run a company, you are probably rolling in the dough more than ever. that's what a survey for the new york times found. top executives at 200 major american companies made 23% more than they did two years ago. their median pay was up $10.8 million. meanwhile the average american worker's pay rose one-half of 1% last year. not enough to keep up with inflation. so the rich get richer. the online video site ho loo may soon be sold. the company will talk with more

plan on 80s and 90s in the south bay. 60s towards the immediate coastline. close to 100 in places like brentwood and antioch and livermore 70s and 80s inside the bay and looks like the temperatures staying in the 70s and 80s and even 90s inland across much of the north bay s. with that in mind looks like tomorrow a little hotter than today. a chance of fog returning to the coastline a little bit later on today if you've got some plans then it looks like we are going to see a whole lot of fog, much cooler temperatures as we head in toward next weekend. that's a look at your forecast. back to you, frank. lawrence, thank you. this is live look at 101 in san jose. you can see pretty sparse out there. smooth sailing on the roads i would think all 4th of july holiday today. reminder public transit is running on a sunday schedule. if you're heading out today i think you should be okay. although a lot of folks heading home tonight. keep an eye on the roads. the new cigarette warnings are working and not even on the packs yet and cell phone users
