where gunfire erupted - andt least one person was shot. your realtime captioner is linda marie macdonald. black friday violence here in the bay area. where gunfire erupted. at least one person was shot. why tens of thousands of protestors are filling cairo's tahrir square this morning. good morning, everybody. happy day after thanksgiving. it's black friday, november 25. i'm frank mallicoat. >> i'm grace lee. it's 4:30. and i wore black for the occasion. >> very good. i like that. >> i have to drive through union square on the way to work. there were a ton of people out there. >> at first i was taken aback. what are these, some business, what's going on? everyone had little bags from

macy's. >> they were all camped out since yesterday or the day before. let's talk a little bit about weather. we are going to double team it today with a little bit of weather and traffic for you. lawrence is sleeping in today. so here's a look at our hi-def doppler. you may need an umbrella at least in these early-morning hours. you can see we actually have some very light scattered showers out there mostly confined to the north bay right now. this is just light stuff. it should be passing through by about mid-morning and then we are drying out and temperatures are actually going up by a bit. you may have a little bit of valley fog but we'll talk more about that in a little bit. in the meantime, on the roads, we may see damp roads especially traveling in san francisco, oakland and once again in the north bay just some very light sprinkles but overall, we are not seeing too many problems on the roads and no delay so far at the bay bridge. hey, but bart is running longer trains if you are planning on doing a little downtown shopping in san francisco. >> why don't you read the news, too. >> okay. >> let's do it all.

>> very good. [ laughter ] black friday violence has happened in the east bay. we want to go live to san leandro where gil diaz has the latest on the breaking news are a wal-mart parking lot. good morning. >> reporter: officers say there was a shooting here at this parking lot shortly before 2:00. they were initially responding to reports of a fight in the lot and they had some nearby patrol officers who were patrolling the area because of post-thanksgiving sales. they found a man down behind us in the parking lot. the victim's belongings are right there. he was shot. he was rushed to the hospital. he is at eden hospital in castro valley. we don't know his condition. they haven't identified him only to say he was in his 20s. we are trying to figure out if this was related to black friday, if people were fighting over items, over a parking stall. we don't know that yet.

this is all happening because of black friday. an employee of wal-mart says they have been open since 6:00 yesterday and that the big sales began at 10:00 last night and also at midnight. so you can probably tell that there was probably a continuous crowd here throughout the morning. but, of course, we talked to some shoppers who were turned away at the door because wal- mart is closed until further notice but they thought about this shooting. >> it just doesn't make any sense. everybody should be getting along. >> reporter: even though the doors are open, walmart is closed until further notice. a worker says they have been instructed to clean up the store and reopen at 6:00 this morning. the shoppers were probably in there before the shooting

happened. they are letting them shop and leave but no new customers at this time. we'll have more details as they unfold. trying to get a proximity of where the shooting happened. it was out in the parking lot away from where people were camping or parking and shopping? >> reporter: the store was open so people have been coming in and out of the parking lot but it happened beyond this stop sign in the parking lot. it looks like it was quite a distance from the shop. i think the victim was probably headed back to his car. it turns out that the victim was with a group of friends and that group held down someone who was a member of the suspect's group. they don't know if who they have in custody is the shooter but the friend of the victim did detain someone until cops arrived. >> thank you, gil diaz live in san leandro. the shopping frenzy led to injuries at another walmart

down in los angeles. authorities there say that a woman actually used pepper spray on other shoppers last night in the videogame section of the porter ranch store. it was an apparent attempt to prevent other customers from getting an item she wanted. so far, though, there are no arrests in that case. it is 4:35. 600 people were in line when one san jose store opened for midnight. the line was three blocks long at the best buy at santana row. at the lead of the line, george who got there at 10:00 wednesday morning and for him it was a big family event. >> everybody sleeps in the same tent so we all suffer and celebrate together. we had thanksgiving dinner. we celebrated my mom's birthday. even though it doesn't seem like it, it is family time out here. >> that was a crowded tent. [ laughter ] >> one of the big attractions at the best buy was a 42" tv

for $200. they let people in the store 50 at a time to ensure safety. target stores were part of the new midnight opening trend for the post-thanksgiving crowd. a lot of people camped out for hours outside target including this one in colma. bargain prices for electronics seemed to be the big draw for this target crowd. robert lee began lining up at noon for a flat screen tv not for a christmas gift. it was for himself. his thanksgiving dinner consisted of hot pockets, chips and soda. >> well, the savings are pretty good. you save a couple of hundred dollars on a tv or 150 on a laptop which could be worth it for a lot of people but a lot of people coming out, getting together, hanging out, it's for of an event of the everybody comes together and has a good time on thanksgiving. it's a good time, you know? we keep ourselves busy, socialize and stuff like that. >> when the doors opened at midnight, lee and others made beelines toward the items at

the top of their lists. consumer spending apparently speaks louder than any online campaign trying to convince target not to open at midnight so their employees could enjoy thanksgiving for their families. they still opened up. >> pretty organized. they were walking slowly there. in colma a similar scene at the kohl's department store also opening at midnight. this morning they had early bird specials touting big discounts for items like clothing, jewelry, toys, kitchen appliances. and it looks like everyone did very well this morning. now, if you ride bart today you might notice extra police on patrol. bart is increasing its police presence today on trains and parking lots and in downtown san francisco stations. they want you to call them if you see something suspicious or if anything is going wrong. they also warn to you keep your wallet, cell phone and other valuables in a secure place and suggest shopping in teams. it can't hurt. it's 4:37 now. a suspect in a domestic disturbance case is dead after an officer-involved shooting in

sebastopol. a single officer responded to a call of an armed man who was waiting outside his ex- girlfriend's apartment on fellers lane yesterday morning. several shots were fired at the suspect and then he was pronounced dead at the scene. chicago police are searching for a gunman suspected of fatally shooting his ex-girlfriend at a local hospital. just before midnight, central time, gunshots were heard inside the parking complex at the university of illinois at chicago medical center. the facility was locked out for several hours but authorities were not able to locate the suspect. "occupy oakland" and police fighting over porta-potties. according to police, a truck trying to deliver them was turned away from frank ogawa plaza yesterday for not having a permit. the protestors who wanted them delivered argued with police. and then as you can see they surrounded the truck preventing it from leaving. the truck finally made it out of the plaza. one person was arrested. no serious violence reported

though. but a little bit of a fracas yesterday on thanksgiving day. 4:38, done with thanksgiving, dishes put away, the weekend now. >> hope the dishes are put away for some. we have a little weather. >> we have a little weather, a little traffic for you. it's going to be cool to start off the day. if you are heading off to do some black friday shopping, temperatures mostly in the 40s and 50s and we still have a few lingering rain showers out there. now, nothing like we saw yesterday and the day before. still just some scattered showers mostly in the north bay right now and portions of san francisco, oakland, so yeah, definitely in the morning, bring your umbrella. but then by about mid-morning that should wrap up and everything should be better for later on today and actually we're going to have a dry period here everthe next couple of days. here's live look at your pinpoint forecast for later on today. right now for the morning mostly in the 40s and 50s but we are going to warm up this afternoon. mostly 60s, low 60s. 62 in san rafael, 61 in san

francisco. 61 in fremont. and mild relatively mild 62 in livermore. so taking a look at the next couple of days, once again, that high pressure is holding steady out there. so bringing us even some sunshine by the afternoon. you can see temperatures approaching near 70 on sunday. and then continues to be warm on monday, tuesday and on into midweek. now, valley fog, that could be an issue overnight and into the morning but otherwise, rain should not be much of an issue. let's take a live look outside right now at the roads. if you are continuing on to the golden gate bridge, like i satisfied there may still be some scattered showers in portions of the north bay, so you may find some damp roads out there but we are not seeing any major delays really anywhere across the bay area. today is a holiday for a lot of folks, not going to work so everything is good crossing the bay bridge all across the upper deck. our very dark shot of northbound 280 out of downtown san jose looks good. and crossing the san mateo bridge in the commute direction, if there is much of a commute it's still only 13

minutes out of hayward. that is traffic and weather. back to you. >> thank you. think that whole black friday thing is crazy? >> then you might be a cyber monday fan. the perk that will be gone after this year for online shoppers, coming up. plus a man goes abroad and comes back home with a grave health concern. we'll explain when we come back. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

cities urging its residentso shop locally. there are two special events today oakland is one of the bay area cities urging its residents to shop locally. and there are two special events today, one called keep downtown in the black, they will have deejays and musicians to entertain shoppers on broadway and dozens of stores will have food and music under the black friday program involving independent businesses. if you plan to do holiday shopping from the office on monday, frank, are you going to do some of that? >> there we go. >> i might. you're not alone. cybermonday is expected to bring record online sales this year. project $1.2 billion.

last year sales topped a billion. so they think its going to more than double. a new survey finds more than half of the workers plan to do holiday shopping while working on monday. i'm sure the employers are happy about that. this is the last holiday season for californians to shop online without paying the state sales tax. currently online retailers don't have to charge sales tax if they don't have a physical presence in the state but state lawmakers approved the internet sales tax law this past june to level the playing field for the brick and mortar retailers in the state and to generate some new revenue for the state, as well. it kicks in next september. if an lc dtv is on your christmas list today may be the day to buy one of the prices are expect to fall to the lowest levels ever for lcd tvs. manufacturers are slashing prices to revive struggling sales for the flat screen hdtv sets. now, the reason for is because so many people have one that

the market for them is shrinking. there are projected to be even more black friday bargain huntsers today than years past. the international council of shopping centers estimates 34% of consumers plan to shop today. that's up 3% from the same time last year. shoppers are expected to spend nearly $500 billion this holiday season. that's half a trillion. >> math this early in the morning. 4:45. it's been less than a year since she was shot in the head. how gabby giffords spent her holiday giving thanks to the troops. >> a rescue of a cat using wire and duct tape. the little guy needed some help. talk about that when we come back. and if you are getting readydo some black friday shopping, a few scattered showers out there portions of the north bay, san francisco and oakland. coming up a look at your weekend forecast. ,, ,,,, ,, ,,,,,,

chance million-man protest." tens of thousands of protess back now at 4:47. in egypt they call it the last chance million man protest. tens of thousands of protestors are filling up cairo's tahrir square to force egypt's ruling military council to step down. this has been going on all week. over 40 people have been killed. meanwhile the families of three american college students held in egypt are now eagerly awaiting their homecoming. a court ordered the release of the men yesterday. they are accused of throwing a firebomb at security officials during the mass protests this week, accusations the students deny. they could be set free before the end of the weekend and we are told they are in good shape. in arizona, the investigation continues into the fiery plane crash into the mountains a little east of phoenix. six people including the pilot and his three young children all died in the wreck wednesday night. sheriffs say there was no indication the plane was in distress when it crashed into

those arizona cliffs. also in arizona, gabrielle giffords served a thanksgiving meal to troops in tucson. the u.s. congresswoman wore a baseball cap and apron with her nickname gabby sewn on the front. this was the first constituent event she attended since she was shot in the head in january at a public appearance. she only used her leavitt hand to serve a sign that the damage that she suffered. she served alongside her husband mark kelly. she looks great. what an amazing recovery. >> i should say. that special that was on tv a couple of weeks ago, some of the therapy she went through, she couldn't talk, she couldn't walk and now she is doing everything. >> she's a fighter. >> pretty cool. how about some weather for your black friday shopping? let's kick it over to elizabeth and find out what's cooking. >> today is a transitional day. with a little bit of rain showers out there nothing like what we saw yesterday and over the past couple of days but you still may need an umbrella if you are planning to head out to get some good deals. hi-def doppler shows scattered showers in the north bay but

they are moving east, portions of san francisco, oakland once again. this is just light stuff not like a rainout or anything like we saw over the past couple of days but again, you know, just watch out for that. bring a jacket, as well. temperatures out the door right now mostly in the 40s and 50s. once again showers should be wrapping by mid-morning and then a dry period, which is good news. this afternoon temperatures in the low to mid-60s inland. partly cloudy, sunshine by this afternoon. the low pressure system we are dealing with in the early- morning hours is going to be passing through east. we have a dry weekend shaping up so if you have some outdoor plans should be pretty good. that high pressure system remains in full force actually for the next couple of days so really a dry weather pattern is setting up for the next week or so. taking a look at your pinpoint forecast later on today highs mostly in the 60s so going to be a bit warmer today by a few degrees than we saw yesterday and the past couple of days.

60 in vallejo, 62 san rafael, 64 in mountain view, and 63 in san jose. so once again over the next couple of days here's what it looks like. we're approaching near 70 by sunday and once again no rain showers in our forecast. what we could be dealing with is a little bit of valley fog especially overnight and into the morning. let's check the roads now go out live across the golden gate bridge. once again, some scattered showers out there and we're actually seeing some damp roads if you are crossing the span of the golden gate bridge. you will see it out there, southbound 101 through san rafael again not a big deal but just something to be aware of heading towards the bay bridge. you may find light showers, as well. once again your drive time down the eastshore freeway actually looks great. 18 minutes from the carquinez bridge to the maze. so again we are not expecting a full regular morning commute mostly just some people maybe getting out a little early for black friday shopping. the nimitz past the coliseum so far, so good between 238 and

the maze. out of downtown san jose light traffic. at the san mateo bridge doing great as well in either direction. checking in with mass transit, bart is running longer trains for the holiday. so if you are doing any holiday traveling towards sfo, they are trying to accommodate you and maybe shoppers heading into downtown san francisco. ace train there is no service today as well as no service on the alameda harbor bay ferry. golden gate ferry that is in service today and bart systemwide on time, muni and caltrain also looks good. remember kcbs once you do hit the roads. they're our radio partners. and you can find them at 740-am and 106.9-fm. that's traffic and weather. back to you. >> thank you. in health news, there is a man in france who is the first person ever to be diagnosed outside of africa within extremely rare type of hiv. doctors say that the 57-year- old checked himself into an emergency room in paris shortly after returning from the west african nation of togo. he tested positive for a particularly severe type of hiv after having sex in togo.

this type closely very seembles a form of the virus found among wild chimpanzees. researchers are one step closer to fining a way to repair brain damage. doctors at harvard transplanted embryonic neurons from healthy field mice to repair brain cells and grow new ones in mice with genetic deficiencies. it could lead to new treatments for everything from spinal cord injuries and autism to epilepsy and even lou gehrig's disease. there is a new study that suggests that women with low risk pregnancies should be able to give birth at home if they want. british researchers studied the results of births in a home setting compared to those in the hospital and found there is no significant risk of complications. results even show women are far less likely to require intervention such as c- sections. the study found there is a slightly increased risk for first-time mothers who want to give birth at home. >> might be a little nervous. 4:53 now. here's a mystery that has

marine biologists fishing for answers. take a look at the squid. it's part of the humboldt squid group that weigh only a pound apiece. usually in the ocean they weigh up to 30 pounds. el nino could solve the mystery. scientists believe abrupt warming of the gulf waters may have stunted their growth and caused them to spawn early. police in southern california, firefighters as well as animal rescue volunteers spent hours at an exposed utility pipe on a sidewalk in el cajon. a kitten fell in and was several feet down. its cries for help start really early, 4 a.m. hours later crews made a type of catch pole with wires and cable. >> the cable came from animal control and with some duct tape we fashioned a get the cat out of the drain tool. >> he had the cat about a foot from the opening and it dropped off.

>> they kept trying and they pulled him out. he is apparently okay. they think it was a stray but no longer. one of the officers involving in the rescue plans to adopt the little guy. so lucky for him. >> got a home pretty quick. he was looking for help. he got it. well, thanksgiving day the big football game some called the har bowl victory goes to the east coast harbaugh. unfortunately, there they are, the family harbaugh, 49er head coach baltimore ravens john harbaugh become the first brothers to face off. the game was parade in maryland and played in maryland where they won at home. it was a defensive battle. our quarterback got sacked nine times in the game. >> oh. ouch. >> alex did not have anytime to pass the ball whatsoever. >> at least the harbaugh family big smiles after the game. >> part of the family is smiling. but jim is probably getting off an airplane right now going ugh. >> maybe it was for the picture.
