now at 11:00, a covid state of emergency. what you need to know about an important expiration date. caught just before police say he was about to kill again. we'll dig deeper into the man who killed close to home.

plus what kind of person would fire pellets at kids sitting in a classroom? it happened. we're investigating. and then later, look at this. i'm reed cowan. so call i a day for our state's state of emergency for covid. that's going to end in february. just three years after governor gavi newsom made that declaration. s put this date on your calendar. the covid state of emergency ends february 28, 2023. essentially it gave the governo the power to issue nearly 600 orders. however tonight, we kno some of you are asking this question that may be divided on the question. whether those regulations ever protected you in the first place, here is pet pet. >> reporter: most of the nearly 600 pandemic related orders issued by governor gavin newsom will be gone once the state of emergency is lifted. giving local officials time to prepare

and respond to any winter surges. >> the proclamation is to serve to help advance our resources. >> reporter: first declared as state of emergency in the early days of the pandemic. stating california's death rate is the lowest. the evers prevented 1.4 million infections and saved 20,000 lives. >> i was a little surprised because of the timing because w were talking about these new variants that are coming on board now. i think it was a little surprising to me, don't get me wrong, but we have this hurdle to get through first. >> they say they don't think we'll see as many hospitalizations this winter as we isn't that true the last two years. >> and the state of emergency was necessary for the first 30 days. after 30 days, anything

going on has been unnecessary and it's burdensome upon californians. >> reporter: he works for the right leaning group, which file about two dozen lawsuits over covid-19 businesses. >> we have businesses that have shut down permanently and will never open up again. we have lost years off of our children' education. >> reporter: newsom said california created more jobs than any other state and had a healthier economy than states with fewer restrictions like florida. in san francisco betty yu kpix 5. just adding one more thing, newsom will ask state lawmakers to make tword oars permanent. one would allow them to let lab workers solely process covid tests. now to the arrest of the suspected serial killer. police say they caught wesley brownlee as he was on the hunt for the next victim. now with one dead in oakland and five dead in stockton, reporter julie watts

looks into his past and why he wasn't caught sooner. >> reporter: well he does have criminal history, but appears t be non-violent. records indicat he a misdemeanor dui in 2009 an a felony possession of cocaine in 2019. in 2017 he was cited for failing to obey a traffic stop. there were two traffic citations in 202 it 1 and 2022. brownlee recently formed a single member llc called solid blue transport. it's incorporated with the office address listed at his home in stockton. several possible relatives in chicago. we're in the process of confirming that now, but of course that would b significant because the suspected stockton serial kille seen here in video in the left

is the same man suspected of similar shootings in chicago back in 2018. that suspect seen here in the right. >> police are looking at other possible crime connections. police are working closely on that. we'll keep you updated. in a place we all call home in fact look at this and consider all of this in september, just in september, 5 people died from overdoses. and their deaths added to more than 1,800 people who have died, again overdoses since january o 2020. let's put that into perspective. that's close to twice the city wide total for covid deaths. releasing those numbers to us today. you know, when we would look at this problem, we hear it all the time, city leaders taking a tough stance as we hear from yo all the time. we know you have

the same questions that we do. what will work? when will it work? supervisor matt dorsey is asking city departments and planning commissions to drill down and look at plans that wor well in cities like amsterdam i and lisbon, which by the way have no tolerance for open air drug markets on the streets. >> they actually have things like supervised consumption facilities and they exist precisely so it is not taking place on the street. blocks are being taken over by drug scenes and drug dealers. in fact her career is banking on wins that'll save lives. she's running in that closely d.a.'s race for the progressive defens attorney who has a very different approach. >> what we need is a public

health approach, the professionals that are impacted trying to get people the treatment. >> once again a reminder 55 die in september alone. so while people die, leaders will watch city data, numbers that will show drug dealing often happens near campuses during school hours close to our kids. and so jenkins says she is pushing for tougher punishments when the drug crimes happen when minors are on campus. we want to hear from you in our community. twee us and let us know what you think. so let's turn to this investigation at willow glen middle school. today somebody i a car fired soft pellets into a classroom and multiple students and a faculty member were hit. but the school district says th person was driving a gray mercedes suv and they want to know who they were. that suspec used a paintball-style gun. willow glen has seen similar incidents. tonight more than 50 street

lights and traffic signals that you paid for with your tax dollars are broken. in fact you will find 50 street lights are not working. and tonight they'r looking at using wiring with less valuable medals to discourage vandalism and theft. still ahead tonight, did 18 years of progress. it's been 33 years since loma prieta. why on scientist says despite the destruction, it could have been more

all right, fire crews tryin to save statues from a spiritua store that went up in flames. those flames climbed up into th attic. that's why they needed t use the ladder there. that was next door. the fire happened at an especially bad time for the spiritual store because they sell items meant for the day of the dead holiday, which happens november 1. all right, let's go to crockett now. word of a health advisory after detecting hydrogen sulphide. new tonight the health advisory has been lifted, so that's good news. if you were up there, you probably smelled something foul. the chemical came from the nearby wastewater treatment plant. workers have cleaned out more than a thousand air diffusers a the plant to make that smell go

away. well it lasted a matter of seconds, but we know many of yo remember exactly where you were 33 years ago when that 1989 lom prieta earthquake jolted the ba area. 6.9 magnitude shaker was the most devastating local disaster in recent memories. stepped forward. and they were lost in that quake. we know there are a number of earthquake faults. but at least one expert believes more lives could have been lost if i triggered a different fault line. >> the oakland a's tame it. >> and they explode. >> we're having an earthquake.

>> with the force of one, two u 75 adam bombs. >> the initial boom. >> it just kept coming and coming and kept coming again. >> the freeway was rolling, humping, jumping. it was terrible with a lot of people under. >> reporter: 2,200 yards pancaked. >> it is just not helping. >> one deck of the bay bridge collapses. a part of the marina goes up in flames. $6 billion i damage. and we were lucky >> that's great. that's good to see you. >> reporter: meet ross stein. >> hello. >> and so why were we lucky? >> if you put a gun to my head and said your job is to take th

earthquake and put it in a plac where it will be as safe as possible, i would have put it where the loma prieta earthquak occurred. in the middle of the santa cruz mountains where nothing was happening except growing pot. >> we just want one picture. >> reporter: when you see how i looks today, you couldn't imagine how much damage was don in the mountains of monterey bay. and all this chaos, 40 miles from the epic center. so here is the point. the magnitud 7 on the hayward fault would be so much worse. first it's close to san francisco. it's closer t population centers. it's closer to tall buildings and key infrastructure like bridges, bart, everything we care about. >> reporter: the last time the hayward fault snapped was in 1868 and it did a lot of damage and so is the hayward fault overdue? >> it is really hard to talk about any fault being overdue.

but what we can say is based on the past ten or so ruptures, it's about due. >> i hope not. you hear the words it's about due. but we're measuring those things, and so it might not be within our lifetime. >> we will bank on that and jus maybe little earthquakes instea of one big one. >> that's right. >> the skies to the ground? >> you can actually see stuff today because the fog has thickened up. basically partly cloudy skies. that fog is not going to be as widespread or persistent as it has been the past couple of weeks. the warming trend will continue on wednesday with passing high cloud cover overhead just filtering the sunshine. not blocking it entirely. but then we go down the other side of th temperature roller coaster back down to below average temperatures. looking outside a oakland, beautiful weather out there this evening. the temperature is 58 degrees. a couple of degrees warmer on the san francisco side of the bay.

the cool spot, it's 55 degrees right now in santa rosa. you're more likely to drop down to 50 degrees. not a whole lot of vacation or the temperatures at the moment. and that fog is going to be present, but it's not going to be again nearly th factor. what fog there is to begin the day on tuesday should dissipate quickly. and again, plenty of that filtered sunshine. the temperatures tonight dropping down to the lo to mid-50s. not a lot to begin the day tomorrow. high temperatures will be about thre to six degrees above average. and those high temperatures wil reach the low to mid-70s for sa francisco and oakland. that's not bad for mid-october and mostly 80s inland. you can add few more degrees for these high temperatures on wednesday. but that will leave us short. thing

will shift and we will start cooling down. it looks like it will settle in over the weekend well yeah, there's a chance in the six to ten-day outlook. but they're staying to the north, more likely that as we head through the last week of octobe is when we might see shower chances paying attention to the bay area. friday night into saturday, it's lower than 20%. we'll keep you updated in case things change, but i don't thin you'll need to adjust any outdoor plans at this point. yo can see the pattern throughout the week. temperatures go up tomorrow, they peak on wednesday. then we start headin back down from near 90 degrees in san jose and wednesday and all the way down to 70 on saturday and sunday. a similar drop for other inland parts of the bay area. north of the golden gate and temperatures will be slightly below normal o saturday and sunday and before we start coasting back up by monday. >> get out and meet your

neighbor weather. well wildfires sparked by lightning in 2020 turned those skies orange. you'll see it right there. now researchers sa the fires put enough greenhouse gases into the air to essentially just negate the previous 18 years of greenhouse gas cuts. that's according to the new study out of ucla. they found the 2020 fires actually put out double the amount of greenhouse gases. in fact doubl than the state managed to save between 2023 from 2019. and straight ahead in sports, the now defending champs. it's going to be a celebration tomorrow. start on the regular season. before th
