we begin tonight with breaking news. another tragedy at the hands of gun violence. multiple people are dead and others wounded after a mass shooting inside a virginia wal-mart just after 10:00 tonight east coast time, 7:00 our time. now once inside the wal-mart, officers found multiple people shot and killed. police believe it was a single shooter who has also been killed. right now multiple law enforcement agencies are assisting as officers continue to search the store for more victims. we'll certainly keep you updated thhoet goodrich in donchey. safety is everyone's ngon is onfull swing. with more people out and about, there is a call for stepped up security bay area wide. london breed was out promising a safe holiday shopping season for both locals and visitors. if you recall last year, union square gained

national attention for scenes like this. crowds of shoplifters rushing several high-end stores and taking off with everything they could carry. since then there has been a strong police presence with a mobile command center and seemingly constant patrols in the area. but that's not all they're doing to make sure the shopping season goes smoothly. betty yu joins us with a hook at how the city is beefing up security, so everyone could feel safe. betty, you were able to see it firsthand? >> reporter: that's right. tonight, i felt very safe reporting in union square with the various layers of security on virtually every corner. some shoppers were surprised to see this area flooded with police officers and private security. others felt comforted by it. >> reporter: salazar and his friend are in the holiday spirit and ready for thanksgiving dinner. he's visiting san francisco from mexico city. >> i love the feeling of christmas right now. >> reporter: salazar has been staying in the city for a

month. in union square, it was hard to miss the heavy police presence on virtually every corner. private security guards also made rounds. we spotted an ambassador whose purpose is to add another layer of security and make tourist years more inviting. >> they're doing their best efforts to make people feel welcome to the city. and they are trying to give you as much information as possible about the culture. >> reporter: the other popular destinations, more security. katherine stephanie said extra police will be deployed around the park and chestnut street seven days a week. the supervisor securitied $300,000 to pay for ambassadors. >> do you feel safe here? >> i feel safe. i didn't know about robberies in the stores. but the one thing is i would

never have a car here in san francisco for sure. i would be afraid someone would break into my car and destroy the window. >> is that because you have seen a lot of glass? >> yeah. >> reporter: this group of shoppers said they definitely noticed the increase in police officers. >> i feel a lot safer. >> reporter: i was like are you doing tours or something? and i'm not used to people saying hi like that. you're not used to people being openly friendly like that. >> reporter: planning to end the night with ice skating. the two met in san francisco. >> i love the fact that we can skate here. it's a good feeling of celebration. the city is

deploying increased police officers and ambassadors in other high traffic areas in the city. >> and you do see that. what did you see different this year? does there look like there is more to your story? >> reporter: the amount seemed to be about the same. i noticed a big difference is the ambassadors in the orange jackets and also there were more private security guards walking around the tree for example. >> it's nice to see. betty, thank you. and in addition to the increased police, mayor breed is also pushing to keep the streets in surrounding areas clean and wants to rezone some areas to attract new businesses. all in an effort to revitalize the city's key shopping district. >> you can have a great retail establishment on the first floor. an amazing restaurant on the second floor. an office space on the third floor. in the past, many of our restrictions around what can happen has made it difficult to

do that. >> all right, as we do head into the holidays under the threat of covid, flu, rsv, bay area children's hospital are preparing for a potential surge in kids. they're making contingency plans in case they run out of space in their e.r.s. >> reporter: hospitals turning to tents with emergency beds in case they run out of space indoors. chopper 5 was over benioff children's hospital in sco.he mission campus has 17 emergency room beds. the hospital's chief nursing officer says those beds will hold kids who are less ill. she told us most of the children they're seeing are under the age of 15 months old though it is especially dangerous for seniors. >> remember the weather is

colder, so we're not outside, we are more inside where we are closed in and there isn't that good circulation. >> reporter: recommending everyone try to limit the number of people you're around, and mask up while indoors. the oakland campus has more than twice as many pediatric beds as san francisco's. and they have opened an annex if they need to treat more children. possibly linked to rsv. the child was under the age of four and died at hospital. meanwhile officials are ramping up efforts to get more boosted to prevent another surge. >> the best way to save lives this holiday season is to ensure all americans, particularly seniors, get their updated covid vaccine and their flu vaccine. all right, get ready for the holidays. let's get to our first alert weather and paul

heggen with our travel forecast. why would anyone want to leave the bay area? >> exactly, it will be perfect here. if you're flying out of town, families, i guess. >> i guess. >> take a look at the travel forecast for some of the major hubs that are connecting out of the various bay area airports. things are looking pretty good. and the troubled spots, minor inconvenient spots. denver might be on the windy side. some early showers in dallas. but that will take a break for much of the day before the rain will become steady around dallas, fort worth. as you're trying to get out of town if you will be sticking close to home around the bay area, the weather looks great. temperatures will start off cool, but not chilly, then warm up rapidly. the high temperatures in the mid-60s along the coast. the upper 60s in the bay with the low to mid-70s. we will cool off rapidly once that sun goes down. if you will be heading up to tahoe, good for you. and those temperatures will be above freezing. but the fact they would back off quickly, it

does mean we shouldn't see too much melting there. a lot of sunshine on friday. i'll come back with the rest of the holiday weekend forecast in a few minutes. >> many people from the bay area will be heading up to the mountains. the sugar bowl decided to fire up their lifts on friday. the sierra is off to a good start this year. still snow from the last big dump. but it's not only skiers and snowboarders keeping a close eye on the condition and the climate trends. they hope it will put a dent in our drought. >> reporter: we have been seeing these events throughout the snowfall season where we are going from one extreme to the next. they will need an extra year of precipitation. >> reporter: a steady winter to build the strong snow pack

would be a great place to start. however, it's hard to know when the average conditions are no longer the norm. still ahead, tonight at 11:00, we are hearing from the new major elected in oakland and her plans for the first day in office. and later on in sports, playing ball indoors of a $40 million house. we'll show you what happened. we're going to tell you the best

hp is the latest bay area

company announcing it will be cutting jobs. they expect to cut 6,000 people by 2025. and this comes as sales take a dip for personal computers and laptops due to inflation. hp says the fourth quarter revenue fell to nearly $15 billion. sheng thao, the new major elect of oakland is laying out her vision for the city over loren taylor. >> there is a huge division in the city of oakland, which is an ongoing factor. so a lot of people were really trying hard to figure out who could bring people together? >> reporter: thao's victory is a historic one. the first mung mayor. she went to uc berkeley before serving as an intern to vice mayor rebecca kaplan. eventually winning a seat to represent the oakland hills on

the city council in 2018. and now she knows she has to hit the city. >> we have to do a better job at housing our community and find the money to build housing. i'm going to do a whole new look going into the small communities to understand better what the issues are, what resources are needed and try to deliver those results. >> reporter: loren taylor has conceited the race, but criticizing what helped overtake. this >> reporter: the ranked choice voting isn't working. when 20,000 ballots are exhausted, before you get to voting on the mayor of this city, that is not the intention or even the

promise of rank choice. >> reporter: while taylor says he won't push for a recount personally, he says he is aware some of his supporters are looking into funding one. alameda county will certify the results on december 8. san jose's current and future mayor's serving up thanksgiving meals to families who used to live on the streets. dishing out turkey, mashed potatoes, and other fixings at the quick build community. almost, famous bay area rapper was also giving back to the community. he held his 18th annual turkey giveaway in oakland. people stopped by to drop off turkeys and other ingredients to make holiday meals. >> we are always in the

community. and so for us to reach out, let's continue to make a difference and help these children out. >> reporter: the volunteers gave away 500 turkeys. and to donate money or your time, go to kpix.com. that will take you right to the side. all right, here is vern in sports. i heard you say house party. >> remember the old cliche thing, i'm having a party. that's what they did with the brand new house. basketball is up top and the house party at the high school. instead of waiting for this weekend's thanksgiving showcase featuring eight of the top programs in california. this $40 million new john center opened its doors tonight where the sons of

the nba champions attend. these are freshmen whedla z to cle u tvegive me that says alec blair who slammed the biscuit in the basket. he scored 14 first half points, 22 for the game. plenty of teaching moments to come for coach richie and his new house. spartans by 28. 63-35. and world cup. lionel messi for argentina looked upset. oh, a whole lot of saudi arabia. and saudi scored twice in the second half to come back to win 2-1. saudi arabia is the second lowest seed in the tournament,

a shocker. college hoops, 90 seconds left. knocked down his fifth three of the game. he led them with 15 points as they won it. they're now 6-0. and last night, what a night for the 49ers tight end. the crowd with not one, but two touchdowns. and kittle also got a little win before the game. one of his favorites. >> howdie, hola. i met him back in 2008 in wrestle mania, new orleans. i used the celebration. he was at the game tonight, which was awesome. so a big shout out to him. and he's a super star, so it's kind of fun to be friends with him. >> here is one of them giving

them the three touchdown lead. but at the celebration, he would hit the guy in the zone. he went over to apologize. i'm going to levi stadium. i guess we will be redirected to the saints game, which is on sunday. >> the man zone. you know? >> i heard it in your voice. i'll believe you. >> all right, it was a moment. >> vern, thank you. all right, whether you're going across town or across the state, we've got you covered for the

have heart failure and still experience unresolved symptoms? heart failure and seemingly unrelated symptoms like carpal tunnel syndrome... ...shortness of breath... ...irregular heartbeat... ...and lower back pain could mean something more serious called attr-cm a rare, underdiagnosed disease that worsens over time, so it's important to recognize the signs. sound like you? call your cardiologist and ask about attr-cm.

we will continue to monitor the mass shooting as we told you at the top of the show. police still on the scene after a single gunman walked into a wal-mart just after 10:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m. our time and opened fire killing multiple people and injuring others. no word yet on the number of victims,

but police say the gunman is dead. this marks the second major mass shooting in the u.s. a live look now and it looks pretty calm. passengers are inside and everyone is trying to get to their destination at the same time. with the tsa reporting 4.6 million passengers going through their check points today alone, it's a 7% increase from last year. and while it was busy in the sky, aaa expects it to be worse than tomorrow. they will drive at least 50 miles to get to their destinations about 98% of what we saw before the pandemic.

>> you want to leave at a reasonable time where traffic should be better. it won't be light or great, but better. >> and you know, we should be aware that traffic will be heavier this time of the year. we need to slow down and buckle up to get to our destination. and at least no slick roadways. are you show up to the party on time or a little late? >> on time. >> what about the airport? >> i want to try to get through security with a beverage. some kind of relaxing thing. that's not a word. okay. >> if you have a beverage, it might be. >> and wherever you're going, the weather looks cooperative, whether it's around the bay area or in california. across the country it will be calm. temperatures were still mild and the warming trend will continue with high pressure taking oh in the upper levels

of the atmosphere. it means more atmosphere and more air piled on top of us. and it warms it up. so the temperatures will be several degrees above average tomorrow and even warmer than that on thursday for thanksgiving. we will see mostly sunny skies throughout the day tomorrow. maybe a little fog to start the day and along the coast, but it won't last long. we'll add in an offshore wind tomorrow, which will help boost those temperatures for thanksgiving. then it's back to some passing clouds for thanksgiving night into friday. but the clouds will not be substantial night. and just a little bit of filtering effect to the sunshine for black friday. the next chance for rain isn't that far away. there is a chance it might move in on monday for the best chance for showers with another chance potentially following it dn that'll be nice to see. but focusing just on the rain that will fall monday. the weather prediction center, which is a branch of

the national oceanic atmospheric administration. calling for a quarter inch of total rainfall. certainly not a drought buster. by that point, we would have been dry for three weeks. we will take whatever we could get. dry out there this evening. temperatures cooling off, but not too bad just yet. but the warm side, downtown san francisco at 52 degrees in the moment. the mid to upper 30s and the lower 40s inland. mostly mid-40s in the bay and along the coast. fairly close for late november. then temperatures are going to warm up into the low 60s along the coast in the cool spots. mid to upper 60s around the bay. the temperatures are at least into the upper 60s inland. most are reaching or exceeding 70 degrees. again, we're going to be a degree or two warmer than that as we head through thanksgiving day. so things are looking good for the holiday and the weekend. a gradual increase in cloud cover for sunday. the temperatures are gradually going to cool off as we head through the weekend

down to about what's normal for this time of the year by saturday and sunday. then that chance for showers will arrive maybe a few lingering showers on tuesday. but the next wave of moisture will hold off until wednesday of next week. it will be nice to end the month of november with at least one more rain chance. >> so true. thank you. well no ice skating, no problem. that's why they invented roller skates. when we come back, we will head to the roller rink opening in time for the holidays.
