san francisco really does feel out of control right now. so we need to do better. >> people in one san francisco neighborhood say they are doing their part to keep each other safe, but after repeated calls for help, a brutal attack has them begging the city to do more. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey, on cbs news bay area. >> hello. i'm sara donchey. san francisco's marina district is known for a lot of things, really nice restaurants, nightlife, expensive homes, and waterfront views, but tonight neighbors there are on edge saying they're afraid for their safety after a brutal attack on the city's former fire commissioner. tonight don carmignani is in the hospital with 51 stitches, a fractured

skull, and a broken jaw. neighbors say he was attacked by a group of unhoused people and one of the neighbors shared this cell phone video with us. they say that is the suspect holding the same metal pipe used in the attack. some residents say this all points to a larger problem, not just in the marina, but in the city as a whole. >> we grew up in this neighborhood. his mom and dad and he live in this neighborhood. we care about our city, but at a certain point as citizens, there's little we can do to protect ourselves. it's like rearranging deck furniture on the titanic in san francisco where the resources are not being allocated for mental health. >> betty yu is with us. i know you talked to somebody who saw that happen. i can't imagine how scary that was. >> yeah. he really described it as frightening and he said that he has seen this group of homeless people he believes are involved in this attack many times in the area. many residents say they tried to walk around this group or even avoid the area altogether. unfortunately they say this

kind of violence was bound to happen. a witness shared this cell phone video of a man they identified as the suspect who brutally attacked the victim with a large metal pipe. the victim is 53-year-old don carmignani, a lifelong san francisco resident, a former fire commissioner, businessman and father of two. the family said he suffered a fractured skull, a broken jaw, and cuts on his head and face. his injuries required 51 stitches. >> i saw a guy with -- clearly was hitting his head. he was bleeding from his head and crazy guy with a crowbar and, you know, it was pretty disturbing. >> the attack happened in front of spencer lehrman's doorway they're magnolia and lagu reets esday arnd 7:20 p.m. he ca thoose to the victim said it started with a few homeless people sleeping in front of don's

parents' home and blocking their front door. when don asked them to move, at least one person attacked him. >> it was very hard to tell like how bad the wound was just because there was so much blood. it was pretty gross. i moved in here recently. there's like a surprising amount of homeless activity. >> police arrested one suspect, 24-year-old garret doty. >> if our politicians don't put this guy away, it's like they're declaring war on the citizens of san francisco, you know. at what point do we fight back? really, what point do you fight back? donnie could die. >> many neighbors are upset police didn't detain other homeless people with the suspect. san francisco's supervisor said on our program that don's mother tried to get help from the city. >> his mother had called the police a few times that day. they didn't show up because there's such shortage of officers in the city. they weren't able to prioritize that call. then he shows up to the scene, tries to take matters into his own hands and end up

in the hospital. >> marina residents tell us they're very familiar with the people camping outside the home, including the suspect. >> i've seen the homeless dude around before. he seemed totally crazy. >> don's father said his son has a long recovery ahead of him and he plans to sell his house and eventually move out of san francisco. >> which is obviously extreme but understandable given the circumstances. so i know you covered the marina a lot about some problems they've had and you talked to people to get their reaction every single time one of these things happen. does this feel any different? does this feel like a breaking point or does this feel like something they're used to at this point? >> i would say it's a mixture of both, but for those who know don, he's been here for decades, many childhood friends still going to this street. they visit their parents and they're saying they've really had enough, but they also love the city, but they're asking themselves how much more can

they tolerate? other people that we spoke to really almost everyone had a story about being harassed by this particular group or just victimized in some way walking the streets of san francisco. >> betty, thank you so much. more headlines now, at today's giants home opener we decided to go out and ask that same question, if people feel safe or not, in the city. >> it's like this honestly in a lot of different cities. it's like everywhere, like in sacramento, oakland. every city is kind of like. that you just got to move accordingly, like you've got to be aware of your surroundings. >> we feel pretty safe. i think the hardest thing is finding parking, but yeah, we people pretty safe in the city. a bike decorated with candles, flowers, and messages from friends is what is left behind in the presidio to remember the life of a world champion cyclist. ethan boyes,

reigning masters track champion, was hit and killed by a car tuesday. that crash happened on arguello boulevard south of washington in the presidio which is federal land. andrea nakano went there where so many people showed up for a vigil to mourn the loss of boyes' life and they say he had an impact on many people. >> reporter: the memorial set up on arguello boulevard where the accident happened, so many people have stopped by on their bikes to remember the 44-year-old. they say ethan boyes had an impact on so many people's lives. tears were flowing as those close to ethan boyes gathered for a memorial at the site of tuesday's fatal accident. >> shock, complete shock, complete shock because yeah, i mean he's invincible. he's ethan. >> reporter: clair sale was one of roughly 300 people who showed up to share memories of their dear friend. >> he just had a wonderful

sense of humor and the last time we rode together he truly made me laugh so hard i almost fell off my bike and i will treasure that forever. >> reporter: ethan boyes was a world champion cyclist, but to those here at the vigil, he was just a riding partner that always had a spare tube to fix a flat or a shoulder to lean on when they needed a friend. >> ethan truly was incredibly humble. he was obviously extremely accomplished, but he was also really laid back and down to earth in a way that is super rare. >> reporter: ethan boyes' death comes as cyclists say it's becoming more and more dangerous on the streets. >> i don't know what we're going to have to do out here like people are literally dying in the streets. >> reporter: grady and some fellow cyclists have little hope boyes' death will have any impact to change safety on the streets. it actually concerns them more that one of the most experienced riders they know became the latest victim. >> when you think about the amount of time that he spent on

a bicycle, i guess the assumption is that he'll be able to respond in any situation. so the fact that he couldn't in this one is telling. >> reporter: while authorities look into how and why the accident happened, friends say they will never forget the man that genuinely cared for those in the cycling community. >> we love you, ethan! >> there have been 34 bike fatalities in san francisco since 2010. the city recently created a vision zero task force that is supposed to focus on street safety. the warriors are fighting for their playoff standing with the regular season ending this weekend and tonight they didn't have to go very far to face a familiar foe. charlie walter is here with all the highlights. it's leading up to this just to chs fatonight's match-up geographically speaking, it should be a rivalry, right,

kings and warriors. it's never provided true animosity, frankly, due to the fact both teams have not been good at the same team. this is not a good team tonight, hurter and sabonis locked out. it felt like the warriors weren't going to win. steph curry finds klay thompson. second half, watch the wizardry that is steph curry. you give him an inch. he'll take a mile. klay has the same motto. poole's waiting. all right, klay, get open, split second, bang. that's all he needs. curry and thompson combined for 54 points on a total of nine made three's. warriors win 119-97. they'll wrap up regular season sunday at portland. the clippers didn't play, so the warriors jumped them to move into fifth. here's how we stand, the warriors a win away in portland from avoiding the play-in naplay the kings in the opening 6-3 round

or could play the suns in the 5-4. so whether it's the regional rivalry or kevin durant, if they avoid the play-in tournament, there's going to be a heck of a story line. >> yes, there will be. at least they'll be prepared for kevin durant in some way. >> they should be. >> charlie, thank you. let's talk weather with paul. he's wearing jeans and sneakers, so you know it's friday. a lot of people had plans this weekend. we started the day off kind of like ugly and gross. >> it was. into the afternoon there was a fair amount of drizzle and mist still hanging out. that has largely come to an end. it looks like we'll head into easter weekend with drier weather and warmer weather finally. let's look and add up the rainfall totals we saw over the past 24 hours and the outlier on the high end by far, kentfield, some of those mountain tops in marin county picked up 2 inches of rain.

kentfield measured 3 3/4 and elsewhere a pretty typical april shower event as opposed to the heavy rain the past several days. over the weekend, dry weather prevails, dense fog to start the day tomorrow. after that dissipate temperatures warm up to within a few degrees of what's normal this time of year, but the warmer half of the weekend on easter sunday will bring the warmest temperatures we've seen in all of 2023, temperatures in the afternoon topping out in the 70s inland, mid- to upper 60s in san francisco and oakland and into the low 60s along the coast. we'll check out that fog and the entire seven-day forecast, the warm weather not lasting too long. we'll make room for sara here to join me in front of the easter sunday forecast. >> or not. i'll hang out here and finish the show. no. that's great. it's good for the kids. we kind of need this. >> i think we've earned some warmth for at least a day or two. >> thank you. shock and outrage from abortion rights advocates after a texas judge moves to suspend

an abortion drug used for decades, what the biden administration is doing in response and the fight that could end up in the supreme court. the giants are back home with one major difference, why you might not get as much baseball for your buck at oracle this season. coming up later, work conventions don't usually sound fun. there are a

tonight there seems to be a little uncertainty over who will be able to access the most commonly used abortion pill in america. there were two different court rulings today over the legality of the abortion medication mifepristone that has been widely available more than 20

years. today a trump-appointed federal judge in texas suspended fda approval of that drug, but paused his ruling for seven days so the federal government can appeal. less than two hours later a federal judge in washington state ruled the fda must keep medication abortion drugs available in more than a dozen states. what does this all mean and what does it mean for the future? i spoke to a legal expert who says this is an important development because it means the case could end up in the hands of the supreme court eventually. >> the supreme court could decide that the drug can't cross state lines because of the comstock laws or the supreme court could decide that this drug should not be sold because the process by which it came to the market was inappropriate under the laws governing the food and drug administration or both or neither. >> well, the justice department says they are planning to appeal that

decision. let's talk about the sierras. precipitation was through the roof across california this year. we've been talking about that for weeks. that's been good news for skiers. >> yeah. palisades reported a rare milestone today. they've broken 700 inches of snowfall. that number still has a chance to keep growing. for context, their seasonal average is 400 inches of snowfall. it's going to allow them to keep their lifts going they're hoping through the fourth of july, if it doesn't all melt, which we hope doesn't happen because that much melting that quickly would be very, very bad. it's going to be warm up there this weekend, but a short warm spell. we get to enjoy the warm weather as well. let's look at the lake tahoe forecast, looking pretty good in the mountains, temperatures tomorrow in south lake tahoe topping 50 degrees and over 60 degrees sunday. if that kind of warmth stuck around for a long period of time, that would lead to too much melting in a short amount of time, but this is going to be a pretty brief warm

spell. cooler weather is on the way for all of california next week. we are going to be dry and warmer for easter weekend. the next storm system will aim an atmospheric river toward the pacific northwest. this is eventually going to arc down towards us but not with moisture, just close enough to squeeze the atmosphere, produce breezier conditions by about monday, tuesday, wednesday of next week bringing gradually cooler air towards us, but our rain chances remain next to zero. the next batch of fog could result in maybe a trace of moisture sunday night into monday, but that's it, no actual rain chances in the forecast, which means there's nothing to wash pollen out of the atmosphere. pollen count dropped to medium today, right back up to medium high saturday and sunday, into the high category monday, mulberry, oak and ash pollen the top three. now seeing a little fog trying to develop over downtown san francisco. everyone's temperatures are in the low to mid-50s. that fog will spread out the rest of tonight, some

locally dense fog early morning. by late morning that should be long gone, clouds and sunshine the rest of the day. temperatures tonight dropping to the low to mid-40s, a couple chillier spots in the north bay valleys in the upper 30s. we got miss daisy here playing easter bunny. she looks like she's okay with the ears, temperatures in her home of sonoma mid-60s during the afternoon. temperatures tomorrow will be a little warmer than today. you'll notice that if you're out at oracle park as the giants take on the kansas city royals for game two of their series hoping for a better outcome than today, stealing charlie's thunder. game time after 1:00 temperatures will be in the mid-50s. maybe layer up a bit. temperatures a couple degrees below average but generally mid- to upper 60s inland with low 60s around the bay, 50s along the coast. we warm up significantly for the second half of the weekend, mid- to upper 60s in san francisco and oakland and mid-70s farther inland, san jose 76 degrees on easter and a couple degrees

cooler monday, but the cooler on weather does return by tuesday, wednesday, and thursday and it's going to be occasionally breezy in this time frame, but i don't think the winds will be strong enough to prompt a wind advisory. they should not be strong enough to cause tree damage to result in power outage concerns, but it's something to keep an eye on. >> looking forward to milder conditions ahead. >> yes. especially sunday. still ahead, people spending less time in the stands on opening day, why

today was the giants' home opener. we'll talk about that in a little bit, but juliette goodrich is here because that went a little bit differently as well as a lot of other baseball games. that's because of a major league baseball rule change. >> yeah. it's kind of the game changer. we're talking about a pitch clock with a p, okay? what it is to speed up the game. the pitchers have basically a clock on them. they've got to get it going. how do fans feel about this? sara, that means you could get home sooner, don't have to pay your baby-sitter as much, you drink less. fans had mixed reaction. nice suit, not orange, though. >> everybody loves to watch the athletes do their thing. they like to watch their whole like system of swinging and all their techniques that they have and the communication between everyone is also really fun to watch, the behind the scenes. >> i think that be 'll still th wh andhome a

little bit earlier. that will be good on school nights. >> reporter: how many hotdogs do you think you can eat when it's a shorter game time? >> 20. >> reporter: still 20? is that okay, mom? >> i think we can do 20. >> i guess it depends how you look at it. if you want to get home earlier, that's great. you're not like me, it's kind of a bummer. >> maybe it saves on calories, whatever. usually the games were way over four hours. now we're averaging like 2 1/2 hours. today's game clocked in at two hours 23 minutes, to be exact. i'm a giants fan, don't know what she's doing over there. that's the scenario. there's another game tomorrow as well. happy easter. >> happy easter to you, too. thanks for being on the show. coming up in sports, bad weather led to hazards for the gallery in augusta. we'll show you the very scary scene that literally went down at the masters. and it was opening day in san francisco, familiar faces kicking off the action at

up. five giants home runs on thursday, only the royals left the yard friday. solo shot off alex cobb in the fourth, royals up 2-1. 3-1 in the ninth and san francisco got royally robbed. matt duffy flashing the leather, a web gem. the giants got the winning run up to the plate. blake sable goes down looking. sable has the specs on, so i trust his strike zone more. mike yazstremski doesn't like it. yaz felt the strike zone was poor on his at-bat earlier. alex cobb went seven innings of two-run baseball, really got outing and it was spoiled. 3-1 the final score in favor of kansas city. after a win tonight in sacramento, simple formula for the warriors, a win at portland sunday in the regular season finale would lock up a playoff spot. the splash brothers great tonight, but the player of the game, kevon looney. the oil
