hour from now at 4:00. it will take place at the boys and girls club and event center on street. at .m.,the ll be foon to help as the community comes together. the tragedy also exposed another issue. you heard governor gavin newsom talking about this in his live news conference last week at 3:00. something we don't hear a lot about, but it is the allegation that farmworkers live in poor conditions. they promised to build new and permanent homes for workers and their families. the project is expected to take about a year. >> our plan is to do a four-story building. social services on the first level, other services and programs with farmworkers and housing. >> vice mayor joaquin gimenez is leading the charge to build more affordable housing and have bay. jimenez says the

project to turn this old home owned by the city into an apartment building has been in the works for months. but after the shooting last week, many are calling for the project to be expedited. >> we are hoping that this extra spotlight on the community and how they live might make the city and the county move a little faster. >> reporter: these photos tweeted out by the san mateo county supervisors show some of the conditions the victims were living in. jimenez told me that he was not surprised by the pictures. he has been trying to highlight this issue for years. >> the rent in half moon bay is very expensive. >> reporter: but to build affordable housing, it costs money. jimenez says the 40-unit building is expected to cost $34 million. that is just one of many apartments that jimenez says needs to be built. >> we know it takes time with

the permits. they need to understand that we are in need of building housing. >> reporter: jimenez also told me they are looking to purchase a plot of land that is currently owned by the local catholic church. he said when it comes to the 40-unit plan already underway, they are still looking to get full funding for that project. he says that anyone who would like to donate can contact the local nonprofit. >> so we continue following the conversations after the massacre. california already has more than 100 gun laws. the reason why mass shootings have prompted lawmakers to call for even more regulation is that they stand behind these laws and the people with them are family members whose lives have been shattered by such violence. lauren thoms introduces you to a bay area mother who says that she is bound and determined to turn her grief into action.

>> our member you telling me how great and rewarding a career in the medical field could be whenever the question of what i wanted to do with my life came up. >> reporter: claire reads a letter written to her by her son just before he finished training to be a paramedic. >> love your son, camilo. >> reporter: they were some of the last words he would send her before he was killed when a person opened fire on an innocent group of clubgoers in san francisco in 2014. >> he wasn't doing anything wrong. this is what happens in this country when there are so many guns. it is not acceptable. >> reporter: after facing an unimaginable loss, claire turned to advocacy to heal, championing gun laws in california through mom's demand action. >> immediately i thought, this would have made no difference in my son's shooting, then i realize, but it would have made a difference in someone's shooting. my son is not going to come back because of any

bills that are pushed now, but it will make a difference in the future. >> reporter: california has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation, and state lawmakers are expected to push new legislation in the wake of a handful of mass shootings across the state. at the turn of the year, several new gun laws went into effect. one law prohibits anyone convicted of child or elder abuse from possessing a firearm. another allows gun violence victims to sue the gun manufacturer or dealer. >> i feel like i am honoring my son when i do this. i am ki up let his death go unnoticed. i feel like we are making headway. >> reporter: claire says that she is not sure that any loss could have protected camilo, but she will keep fighting to protect other families from gun violence. >> this is how i mother my son. i know these bills are making a difference because i know people who would still have their children of these were in

place. >> we also have new video out of contra costa county showing a lot of smoke pouring out of this martinez refinery. we have got some calls about it. crews responded to calls of smoldering material and an out of service piece of equipment. despite the huge response that we got from the helicopter, we can tell you that nobody was hurt and there is no issue with your air quality out there. they say that operations at the refinery were not affected. homicide charges have been filed in a case in san jose even though the bodies of one of the victims is still missing. the suspect is identified as ricardo padilla. police believe that he shot and killed in last year, then shot and killed samuel torres in july. torres ' body was not found. police believe they know where he was once buried. >> they did locate an anomaly at this location where it was described. that was dug up. we did find remnants of a burial

that took place there. we won't get into specifics of the evidence, but there was enough for us to believe that there was a body there. >> reporter: so what we make of all that? police say they believe the suspect may have contacted somebody to move the body for him while he was in jail. that is a theory right now that they are still testing and investigating. vice president kamala harris will attend the public funeral of tyre nichols in memphis tomorrow. knowing that, we have the latest into the investigation into his murder. 10 police and emergency workers have now been punished. the memphis fire department announced that it fired two paramedics and a lieutenant for not following policies and protocols. video shows that nichols was not given medical attention for several crucial minutes after the brutal beating earlier this month. he died three days later. not all of the first responders and officers have been charged with a crime, but five former officers are charged with second-degree murder. to the white house now, where the biden administration says that in may they will end the emergency covid regulations that were put into place three years ago. the move will mean

an end to free covid testing, treatments and free vaccines. some medical records are not happy about that. they say that is bad news. >> this is particularly concerning since covid disproportionately hits those segments of the population that have the most difficulty accessing medical care and preventive health services. >> this move could also and something called title 42. that was the trump-era policy that banned asylum-seekers from entering the country due to the pandemic. some republican-led states have already sued to keep the policy in place. the supreme court is set to hear arguments on title 42 very soon. and pox, formerly known as monkeypox, is almost gone from the united states. the cdc said that for over a month, the average number of cases has hovered in the single digits. that is compared to 450 cases per day during the august peak. the federal government public

be facing a difficult come back. cam inman said that the injury will lead to a lot of questions for the team going forward. >> this whole off-season just became a big dark cloud. this was not just a rookie quarterback losing a conference championship. now it is , is he going to be healthy for next year? is trey lance going to be recovered enough to participate in the off-season program? is jimmy garoppolo finally living this team after six seasons? >> so here is where we stand going into the 2023 season. all of the 49ers' in-house quarterbacks? big questions of people asking, could garoppolo return for another year? could they potentially bring in a veteran like tom brady or aaron rodgers? we have to wait and see. that is why we have charlie and vern on th sewhat we do know now tthe 49e defensive conator demeco

here. 32 in petaluma and santa rosa. walnut creek goes down to 32. 33 in livermore. we are not freezing. there are no more freezing concerns, but it is cold enough that there is a frost advisory if you are inland. however, if you are along the bayshore, you don't have that. daytime highs will keep doing this, looking ahead tomorrow. maybe if you high clouds. then we wait for the next system out here. that is our next rain. it is going to get here so late thursday that we are actually going to call it friday morning. this is our look on friday at 2:00 a.m. it has not rained at all on thursday. just as we click over into friday, the showers arrive. so very early, the pre-dawn hours of friday, we will see organized rain move down the bay and the golden gate and peninsula. we will have some rain on the friday morning commute, however much of a friday morning commute there is this week, plan on

slick roads. we will still have a few left over showers going into the 7:00 and 8:00 hours. we will look at totals in a second. they are not huge, but things will get a bit slick. that is just the first one! we will take a look at that system from friday. most of saturday it doesn't rain until the second system gets here in that saturday at the second half of the day. so from saturday into the evening, more widespread rain comes in. that will stay with us pretty much through sunday. the best rain chance will come saturday night, but there will be a few left over scattered showers going to the remainder of sunday. as we look at the totals, that is the first system. that is primarily friday morning. you only get a couple hundredths of an inch of rain for the peninsula and the east bayshore, so no impact on the commute. we have about half an inch of rain friday morning. the next system comes in saturday evening, then we pretty much double those totals. those are the only two for now. if we look at the seven-day forecast, you will see how we have a chance of rain for friday, saturday and

sunday. we are kind of bracketing the three days. we just looked at the timing and it won't rain for three days straight. two separate systems. there will be a break and most of the break will come through the first half of saturday. that is where things stand for now. back to you. still ahead, a mom reaching out to other moms to help heal. >> i think i'll see people who understand that we all need each other, especially in times like these. >> we need ea
