get out what he says are the facts, but he went about it all wrong. >> and putting myself out there just to say this is completely my fault, i apologize to mr. oakley, falling on my sword because i was wrong and i put him in an awkward position and i shouldn't have done it. >> reporter: reporter oakley told cbs 5 he's a professional and he would have made any needed correction, but he said he did not need to be awakened in the middle of the night to do it. now, the city of berkeley's interim city manager has also apologized, saying there was no justification for police contacting a reporter the way they did. >> you don't hear about that very much, do you? >> reporter: i don't think it's happened any time i can recall around here. >> don, thank you much. well, hayward investigators are looking into two early morning fires that broke out within two hours of each other. the first was reported around 3:45 this morning at a home on a street near highway 880. the second broke out at a quarter to 6:00 at a plastics warehouse about a mile away. the fast-moving warehouse fire gutted the building, but crews were able to contain the flames before they reached any of the

about jews controlling the government, controlling the media, it makes me feel like history could repeat itself. >> reporter: several student groups circulated a petition, calling farrakhan's presence an insult to diversity on campus. >> they are so fearful that you're going to hear a word that will break the chain off of your minds. >> people have different interpretations. i think what you have to do is take what's good out of what everyone says and what you can't relate to, leave that alone, but respect their right to say it. >> reporter: the african black coalition conference runs through sunday here at uc berkeley. anne makovec, cbs 5. other bay area headlines, san francisco police are investigating a deadly shooting. officers found a victim in a car in the mission district at 23rd and shockwell last night. police say the car at some point hit another vehicle. it's unclear if that provoked the shooting or if the suspect
