>> east bay cyclists 70 to the hospital after being intentionally attacked by drivers, the fear tonight other cyclists could have a target on they are backs. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> hello. i'm sara donchey. tonight we're talking about are doing, opening your car door right in front of someone to knock them down, usually a bicyclist, and tonight one cycling group in alameda county tells us at least a dozen bikers have been targeted. victims say these are intentional. two of them were hurt so badly they went to the hospital. andrea nakano talked with one person who knows how badly this
2:07 am
could hurt and is worried that other cyclists could be at risk. >> reporter: it's hard to believe elly meade was just riding her bicycle in this bike lane when a car driving by suddenly opened the door. with no room to maneuver, she crashed into the door and fell to the ground. >> i just hit it with my bike, fell off my bike, kind of registered suddenly i was on the ground. this car sped away. as it sped away, i heard them laughing. >> reporter: elly meade was on her way to an east bay bike riding party event when she was targeted by a silver sedan in the rockridge neighborhood. >> it really makes your skin crawl to think they were driving around kind of stalking us picking us off. >> reporter: she said the attack was unprovoked and felt it was premeditated and she found out she wasn't the only victim. >> i think it's really important for everyone to connect the dots here. it's not just like oh, another bike and car incident. no, it's a pattern of attacks.
2:08 am
i'm genuinely worried whoever did this, if they're kids, whoever, they're going to steal another car and do it again. >> reporter: at this point the east bay bike party estimates more than 30 people were targeted. 12 were hit and two were hospitalized with serious injuries. >> we first learned about one sort of incident friday night and it didn't really seem like a big deal at that point. saturday morning when we made the post about that one incident, started getting a flood of different people experiencing similar things. >> reporter: meade required eight stitches for the gash above her eye and suffered numerous cuts and bruises. she no longer feels safe to ride her bike and just wants to know why this happened. >> what those kids did was really unforgivable and i really would like to know who they are and i'd like to be able to look them in the eye. i think that would just be helpful for my own kind of sense of closure.
2:09 am
>> reporter: the east bay bike party later discovered the silver sedan was reported stolen. the cases are being handled by both the oakley and berkeley police departments. >> there is a ride in solidarity for the victims of these car attacks in the east b on sunday the weland b.a.r.t. station. across the bay, an emotional day in court for the san francisco man accused of running a drug lab that blew up his house on and killed his wife in the sunset. a strict home detention was granted for 53-year-old darron price. price did not enter a plea to felony charges, including involuntary manslaughter, manufacturing a controlled substance, and child endangerment. last week's blast not only killed his 51-year-old wife rita, but it badly burned her caretaker and seriously damaged two neighboring houses. our betty yu talked to a couple who lived in one of those damaged homes. i know they talked to you about the days before the explosion
2:10 am
and they said they noticed something. what was that? >> it was the smell of marijuana, sara, and they said it really caught their attention because it was so strong. this married couple said that what they observed, though, wasn't suspicious enough to call police or anything. they thought now it all makes sense that it was an illegal drug operation. darron price appeared distraught in court where he learned he'll be released from jail under strict house arrest. the judge determined that he did not act with malice or intent to harm others, just negligence. his wife of nine years, rita price, died in the explosion. her caretaker was badly burned. darron has to find a suitable home approved by the sheriff's department. the explosion left hixt door neighbors also without a home. this is what's left of david and nang's house. just days before the blast -- >> when i opened the window in my dining room window that
2:11 am
connects to that bathroom and it smelled very strong of marijuana. i thought somebody was coughing a bit from downstairs and at that time. that's because my daughter has played here, i have to close the window. >> reporter: the prosecutors said neighbors and his teenage daughters complained abt omomin heha oibutane tanks. >> i used to chat to darron and say good morning, talk about the weather, whatever, you know, that kind of thing, but nothing more than that. he told me that he flips houses for a living. >> reporter: a few months ago nang said she noticed unusual activity outside the home. >> big truck backed up to his house and then i saw like six or seven guys like tall between 25 to 35 and they carry a heavy
2:12 am
duty like almost like a kitchen supply sink and metal and huge boxes things. so i was thinking that's odd. >> reporter: price will be allowed to see his children, but the judge said he won't be allowed to talk about the explosion. >> we are relieved that he will be physically out of custody, that he can start participating in the arrangements for the funeral for ms. price and also be connected with his children and support them at this time. >> reporter: law enforcement can search price's residence and electronic devices at anytime and he can't leave his home without prior approval. >> we're concerned they let darron price out on bail today. you know, we do understand that he did not do anything deliberately, but we don't really know what his state of mind is now and i mean, you know, there's a side of me that feels bad for the guy. he didn't want to kill anybody. he just made some bad decisions. >> i cannot believe that this is what their house looks like.
2:13 am
were they home when this happened? >> so they told me today that the husband actually dropped off nang just 25 minutes before the blast at her preschool where she works. >> wow. so they need a new place. where are they staying now? >> right now they did this interview from their friend's home, but they need housing obviously in the long term and they say it's really difficult to find anywhere affordable here in the bay area, as we know. so nang's preschool where she works set up a gofundme page for them. she also has a young daughter. they have a young daughter, so hoping to help them get back on their feet. >> yeah. that is not an easy thing to deal with. thank you. as we look into the presidents' day weekend, we'll get off to a chilly start saturday morning, temperatures dropping into the 30s for many inland spots, but a nice warm- up beginning already saturday, details coming up in the first alert forecast. also coming up, they are the fashion item all the

a car crashed into an apartment building tonight in richmond. this is near crescent park. the car drove through a fence and all the way into somebody's home. we're hearing word there was a shooting before the car drove right into an apartment complex. police were seen placing evidence markers, looking for shell casings around the building. we don't know how the driver is doing at this hour. oakland's former police chief, leronne armstrong, spoke publicly today the first time since the mayor fired him. he blamed the federal oversight
2:16 am
monitor for sensationalizing a report that he mishandled a misconduct case against an officer. >> mr. warshaw's history of incentives are crystal clear that the elephant in the room is being uncovered. he's supposed to be neutral, supposed to be a compliance director that helps the department move forward, but clearly the department continues to move backwards. he scrutinized me for things that i didn't do, but didn't support it with evidence. sensationalized wrg is what i call it. >> armstrong said he's exploring his legal options and at the very same time oakland is dealing with a major cyberattack that's dragged on for ten days. basically cybercriminals are holding the city's data hostage and demanding money. the attack is not impacting 911 calls or the city's fire department resources, but it's impacted everything else. the lobby at opd, one of the
2:17 am
few city buildings still open to the public through this, but there are signs up saying computers are down, people paying tickets or filing reports hitting problems. >> the parking attendant said wow, you racked up a lot of tickets. they'll immediately tow your car. i'm pretty lost waiting to figure this out. frustration, fear, i'm scared to drive because i don't want to get pulled over. >> the bottom line, we were told not to expect any answers until at least next week. ucsf was the victim of a ransomware attack e siedpay the hackers a portion of the ransom to get their stolen data back. we're heading into a holiday weekend, lots of things people want to do. will the weather cooperate? >> yes. it's great news. people going to tahoe get to enjoy good weather once they actually get there. maybe now is the time to leave. do the overnight traffic and
2:18 am
you don't have to deal with as much chaos on the roads. if you're staying around the bay area, our weather looks fantastic as well. high pressure is building in the atmosphere overhead. it means there's more atmosphere literally piled up on top of us. it suppresses cloud development and keeps the weather pattern calm overall. that is the case as we head into the weekend. the warmest days will be sunday and continuing into monday, but of those two i think sunday is the warmest day if you want to soak in early springtime kind of vibes before things really change later next week. the changes begin already on tuesday with a slight chance of showers. that's going to be slight, in the 20 to 30% range, better chance wednesday, thursday, and friday, but at best we're looking at a 50/50 chance of light shower activity. this is not going to be an inundating rainfall, but the beginning of an unsettled pattern that's likely to continue through the end of february into march, generally damp off and on very light
2:19 am
showers and it's going to be cold, temperatures running a good 10 to 15 degrees below average by wednesday and thursday. before that rain arrives, there is nothing to wash any pollen out of the atmosphere. the pollen count will be in the medium category again tomorrow and medium high sunday, monday, and tuesday. it's all the birch and juniper and alder as the top three offenders. birch has been bothering me quite a bit. that will be in the atmosphere into early next week before we get a different air mass moving in. right now temperatures are dropping off, 40s and 30in livermore and santa rosa, still clinging to 50 degrees now in san francisco. it's going to be cold to start tomorrow morning, temperatures in the low to mid-30s inland, upper 30s and low 40s around the bay and coast. we'll make up for it, plenty of sunshine tomorrow, temperatures climbing to near average in san francisco, several degrees above average farther inland with even warmer temperatures to come on sunday. upper 50s, close to 60 degrees along the coast, low to mid-60s on the peninsula and around the south end of the bay with mid-
2:20 am
to upper 60s in the santa clara valley, san jose warmer at 67, low to mid-60s in the inland valleys of the east bay, low 60s for san francisco and oakland and bayside on the north bay. the farther inland you go, the more likely you'll climb into the mid-60s. we'll build on that even more sunday. that's the warmest day in the seven-day forecast, but monday is not dramatically cooler, just a little additional cloud cover. temperatures drop more significantly on tuesday and the real drop happens tuesday to wednesday. temperatures will be way below average by wednesday and thursday. we'll bring in that chance of showers. none of these days will be a complete washout. there's going to be a chance of showers hit or miss activity every day. the bigger thing you'll notice, the cooler conditions and tuesday and wednesday especially it is going to be really windy. winter is definitely not done with us yet. just enjoy the nice half of the seven-day forecast while it's here over the weekend. >> we'll prepare for the other
