good evening, i'm ann notarangelo. a tragic accident leads to stepped-up enform. a young boy hit -- enforcement. a young boy hit by a suspected drunk driver in a south of

market cross walk this week. and tonight, san francisco police are taking steps to make sure it doesn't happen again. don knapp on the extra patrols. don? >> reporter: and the question is, do we need police to protect us from ourselves? and apparently the answer may be yes. that's the idea behind these stepped-up patrols targeting not only motorists but pedestrians. these baseball fans leaving at&t park after the game are mostly cautious at intersections. but if safety is not enough incentive, then a ticket may be. police are cracking down. >> there are officers stationed at certain areas. every day it might be a different location. and it is not some type of sting. they're just standing there to see who runs the red light. >> reporter: or pedestrians who cross against the light. >> people need to be safe and the police are there to enforce the laws. they got to do what they got to do. >> reporter: a fan named don has a better idea. >> i think second street, it would be nice if they would cut off the traffic completely on second street. >> make it a pedestrian mall?

>> make it a pedestrian mall. >> just for the game. just for an hour after the game. >> reporter: the renewed safety emphasis comes in the wake of the hit-and-run accident that sent the 9-year-old philadelphia visitor ryan white to a hospital with serious injuries. he and his family were returning to a hotel after a game when a pick-up truck shot through a cross walk, struck the boy and crashed into other vehicles and left the scene. andrew allen vargas was arrested on charges of drunken driving. >> drinking and driving is a big thing. >> reporter: bob ailman and his daughter lori from philadelphia say give drunken drivers jail time before they harm folks. >> i think it would be more beneficial to have checkpoints, especially during games to check for drunk driving. do what you have to do. >> reporter: and even presumably nondrinkers are pushing their luck and trying to beat the light on market street at 5th. a truck parked in a cross walk forced pedestrians to walk around it. some were crossing against the light. this man nearly got himself hit by a patrol car. the officer yelled at him but he slipped into the crowd.

members of the southern station police community advisory board will target several areas downtown, first with literature campaigns raising awareness about the safety issues. and then the police will come in after that, and then give some tickets for those who are not paying attention. >> it might take a while to change behavior. >> i know. when you're down here watching these people cross the street, right behind us, as we're here, they're running across the street in front of traffic, i don't know what it takes short of getting hit by a truck. >> yes, all right, well don knapp, in san francisco, thank you. an antioch mother is dead. and her aunt is wounded tonight. police say they were innocent victims. simply in the wrong place at the wrong time when a gun battle erupted in the 8800 block of b street in east oakland at about 1:30 this morning. the women had visited relatives and on the way to san francisco when the incident occurred. the killing is oakland's 72nd homicide of the year. it is the deadliest day for u.s.-led forces in afghanistan. since the war began. more than 20 u.s. special

fall. and just yesterday, a man broke both legs when he tumbled off a cliff in the same area. the coast guard is searching tonight for a concord man. 62-year-old christof crossno debski sailed out of alameda 12 days ago bound for san diego and not heard from or seen from since. and the coast guard is appealing for boaters up and down the coast to keep anite ow for him. checking bay area head -- an eye out for him. checking bay area headlines. the american legion hall has been the target of thieves and a worker leaves the game was stabbed during a robbery attempt but the two suspects did not get any money. the same bingo game was robbed twice last year. detectives are reviewing video surveillance of the latest attack. a petty cab war is brewing on the san francisco waterfront. on the embarcadero, an operation has moved on without the proper permit.

and not because they don't want to. it is just that businesses now are forced to make cuts. >> reporter: families had to pre-register for the school supply give-away. they also get a gift card for new shoes and a flash drive. >> the studies have shown that kidses that don't have the supplies that they need, they don't have that confidence to go into the classroom and focus on their studies. >> reporter: for the elliot children, and hundreds of others, it is exciting to know on the first day of school they're prepared. in san francisco, juliette goodrich, cbs 5. >> as students in san francisco aren't the only ones getting outfidded. in millipitas today, volunteers filled more backpacks for the kids in need. the family giving tree hopes to place backpacks on the shoulders of 20,000 students. >> unfortunately, the kids that don't have the supplies end up not being prepared for the school year. it really helps each kid have the tools they need to succeed and start the school year off right. >> and you can help family giving tree help students, in
