heading west on nevin avenue with a shooter following them. that shooter stopped chasing after that moving car and turned to the siblings in their car and started firing at them. the sister must have been driving because she gunned it from that scene. she rounded the block and went to an abandoned parking lot where she discovered that her brother had been shot and killed. the police haven't given us more details about the incident. we are trying to find identifications and clues about the shooter but if anyone was in the 2100 block of nevin avenue around 7 p.m. last night, please contact police. >> gil, does it appear to be random or was there a connection? do they have any idea between the shooter and the brother and sister? >> yeah. we haven't been told yet. you know, it looks like right now that it was random. the brother and sister were just sitting in their car, just

about to head to class when suddenly it car rounded the corner behind them accelerating at a high-speed. so they may not have known what happened and maybe that shooter just didn't want any witnesses from that shooting that he had done. so we'll have to see. >> still very early. thank you, gil diaz live for us in richmond. a pair of senior centers and child care center were quarantined recently because of 73 people getting the norovirus in corte madera in san rafael. 16 children and adults have gotten sick at an unidentified preschool. the quarantine could be lived as early as today. the source of the outbreak is under investigation.

campus. >> any way you can find out is good. if you are not the kid doing drugs, why would you care? >> reporter: now, if this plan is approve, the pleasanton police k-9s would cut these searches at no cost to the district. there are a few other bay area school districts that already use the k-9s for the searches, those being dublin, castro valley and livermore. some have seen a decrease in the number of drug-related suspensions. back to you >> thank you. there are new allegations of domestic violence against san francisco sheriff ross mirkarimi. a southern california woman said she dated him in 2007 and 2008, filed a report with san francisco police over the weekend. she claims mirkarimi was verbally abusive during their relationship and one time she says that he got physical. christina marie flores tells
