before that deadly hit and run. surveillance video shows the suspect drive a dark suv into a parking lot and here he goes past the bushes. that is when police say he hit and killed the elderly couple. just one horrifying moment in a string of attacks that spanned two cities. so here is how and where it all happened. police said after 3:00 p.m. yesterday, the suspect stabbed and carjacked someone at the road and dellwood way in san jose. minutes later, they say he stabbed another person during an attempted carjacking on hillsdale avenue outside a target store in the parking lot. shortly after that, police say he hit and killed a couple on santa clara and 16 streets. about an hour later in milpitas, investigators say he stabbed and killed a third person in the parking lot on jacklin road before he was finally arrested by milpitas police. this is the man police have in custody, 31-year-old kevin parkourana. we'll tell you more about him in a moment. but first our betty yu has more on the san jose couple who was

hit and killed. >> reporter: people have been stopping by this makeshift memorial to remember the elderly couple that was killed. the pham's in a random senseless crime scene. the family says they're mourning together inside the home and declined to speak on camera. surveillance video shows the terrifying final moments of mr. and mrs. pham's lives. min tran said he was working on repainting the couple's home when the suspect hit them with the stolen car. >> hit you on the leg? >> i don't know where, but he hurt my body. [ inaudible ] >> reporter: min said he noticed the car speed up. >> he went five and hit me. >> reporter: investigators collected evidence for hours thursday. two hats, a shirt, and a shoe could be seen on the

ground. family members say the pham's were in their mid-70s and lived in the home with their only son. they were fixtures on the block for about 20 years. >> they're very quiet, gentle, older vietnamese couple. we often saw them in the front yard especially lately as they were enjoying getting their house painted. it was a big project for them. and so we often saw them standing in the front of their house into the side over here, admiring the work. >> reporter: sandra lee norris lives nearby. >> pretty horrible. i mean we just feel so much for the families involved in all these incidents, the stabbings, and the people that are still in critical condition. we are tracking it very closely. and our hearts are just broken because they just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. i didn't sleep last night. i just couldn't sleep. >> reporter: meanwhile min was back on the job friday, doing work on the fence. >> it is interesting. and they

hurt my body. everything hurts. >> and now the question a lot of people are asking including us here is how could anyone do this? and what do we know about the suspect? shawn chitnis spent the day looking into that part of the story. >> reporter: sara, we spent the day here in san jose trying to figure out what we could learn about the suspect first going to the neighborhood where he lives, talking to people who are across the street. they gave us a sense they were worried he needed help, but they never could imagine he would be capable of this level of violence. then we came here to san jose police headquarters where we learned a lot more about his long criminal history. san jose police say kevin parkourana was well known to them. due to his criminal past dating back ten years. court records show felony convictions for family violence and misdemeanor convictions. >> we're looking at not only mental health, substance abuse. again his prior history to see what the motive was. >> reporter: police say he

stabbed multiple victims and intentionally ran into pedestrians with the car he stole in san jose. that's before officers were able to surround him in milpitas, taking him into custody after causing havoc at multiple scenes. >> we have to look at, you know, given his history, where the system failed if that were the case. >> reporter: paige stanton rushed in on thursday night when her family said they needed to get inside. these are images she captured at the scene outside the suspect's home. >> they started to pack the stuff up, leaving. he never came out. so we were kind of assuming like the worst. >> reporter: she said it wasn't uncommon for the police to be here at parkourana's house. but when officers came by thursday night to search the home, it was different. >> being across the street from something so close like that is pretty scary. pretty unexpected to say the least. >> reporter: peop have been hurt or killed by the actions of one man. >> i just feel bad for his

family and all the families involved. i mean that's very traumatic. >> reporter: now they're left worrying whether they were in any danger living on the same street. >> that is really close to home, and who knows what his thought process was if he has been seen outside. could we have like been attacked or whatnot? >> and we first brought you that update from san jose police streaming live on cbs news bay area. you can watch us any time anywhere on the cbs news app. we do have breaking news just in to our newsroom out of the north bay. the marin county sheriff's office investigating what looks like a shooting in the valley near the old golf course. at first, the sheriff's department says they were called out for a man who fell on the fire trail. when they got there, they found a man with a gunshot wound to the head. they are still investigating. no one is in custody as of now. the man was rushed to the hospital. no word yet on how he's doing. >> hope, love, pride. proudly presented by the pet food

planned pride assembly. parents on both sides got heated and police eventually had to be called out to settle things down. reporter jeff nguyen was there. >> reporter: a man ended on the ground outside a scuffle in north hollywood. police called an ambulance for him, but he declined medical attention and no one wanted to press charges. it came after people went face to face during a demonstration and a counterprotest over a pride assembly at the school on friday morning. it include the reading of the book called the great big book of families. amanda esobari joined a parent's group wearing white shirts concerned about lgbtq content even though she hasn't read the book. >> i personally don't want it to be taught in my kid's elementary school. >> reporter: lisette franco did read it before coming to the counterprotest. >> it was very educational. it doesn't tell you particularly about lgbtq. it tells you about, you know, everything, different cultures, different backgrounds. >> these people, none of them

have any children in this school. why do you care what we have in our school? >> reporter: school board member jackie goldberg checked with the group in white shirts and found only a few had children enrolled at santa coy. she said the book is about reassuring kids who come from different families. >> they do not have the right to make people afraid to be a child in this district because you're gay. but that's their goal. >> reporter: the superintendent carvalo said a different entrance was set up friday, so students could get in safely. and the book is considered as age appropriate. >> look, not taking a possession in matters like this is, in fact, taking a possession. silence is not an option. >> reporter: both sides cleared out an hour after the scuffle. families were able to opt out of the assembly if they chose. >> you can find all of our pride month coverage on our website kpix.com and streaming on cbs news bay area. monday is a big day for the

city of santa rosa. it's the first day of its wild fire season. what they're doing to prepare. and so many people have been stealing catalytic converters that one bay area mechanic said i'm going to do something personally to try to stop this. we'll tell you

so the city of santa rosa is declaring monday the official start of the wildfire season. anne makovec went up to the forth bay and spoke to the woman who already lost everything. she's bracing herself once again. >> the rain we have this winter has led to the hillside. a lot

of it is turning brown. many residents say the rain has actually fueled their fear for another busy fire season. >> what woke me up is the lights in our bedroom flashing red. so we looked out the window and we heard, what were they saying? go, go, go. >> reporter: she lost her home in the fire in 2017. >> and he left with just, well, different dogs, but two dogs and the clothes on our backs. >> reporter: they said the fire created thteachable moments for her as she has maced three feet of gravel around her home for it to become ember resistant and also not letting her guard down after going through an extremely wet winter. >> it's going to make it worse, absolutely. >> reporter: the santa rosa fire department says it is seeing the grasses drying out quickly, so it will declare the start to the fire season on monday to be able to enforce

the ordinances. >> and you can see the glass fire. four fires that have been directly impacted by or threatened by it. and that has really made an impact on our community as we will see our community doing things a lot differently. >> reporter: as a community, they have made a huge difference in being able to get a handle on blazes quickly. he says that work will be critical this summer. >> because we had all the rain that we're going to be better off this year. it definitely help. but the quick moving grass fire will be the biggest concern this year. >> reporter: along with doing the work on the ground, he has another piece advice for her neighbors. >> pay attention to the weather and be registered for all the sites that they put out the information. and just be aware. >> reporter: they also remind residents to have an evacuation

plan and a to go bag ready with all your medications and documents. >> good reminders as we pay attention to this guy. >> yeah, we are in for a warm weekend. with the rain, you would think the fire danger would be lower. but those fire fuels will dry out in a hurry especially with the warm conditions expected inland as we head into the weekend. the thing responsible for it, an area of low pressure, just means a big mountain of air in the atmosphere that will be pressing down on us. as we head into early next week, our temperatures will cool off with more cloud cover. and the ripple of the atmosphere is headed for southern california, sending the moisture up towards us and late into the weirdly unsettled weather pattern and a chance of a couple of pop-up showers, even the thunderstorm in the forecast. monday, peeking on tuesday, then diminishing on wednesday. a 10% to 20% chance. i wouldn't worry about it, but it is still weird for early june. in the short

term, hey, enjoy right now. and we'll see a little fog early tomorrow morning. but i emphasized a little. it won't be widespread, but a compact marine layer. it will not take long to back out of the inland valleys. we will see full sunshine for the rest of the day and temperatures will respond away from the water. temperatures in the low 50s to begin the day tomorrow. highs near average near the water, near 60 along the coast. mid-60s in the 70 for oakland. a mix of low to mid-80s. a few degrees below average. we'll back down pretty quickly though after our temperatures peak this weekend, back to slightly below average temperatures next week. a chance for showers to the forecast on tuesday. it is weird for june, but only a 20% chance. i wouldn't suggest any outdoor plans, but the 20% is noticeable enough that we'll mention it at this point. temperatures are going to remain below normal for the duration of the seven-day forecast once we get past the beginning of next week. so enjoy the inland warmth while

it lasts along the coast with some sunshine over the weekend. temperatures will hover though around 60 degrees for the highs in the next several days. charlie? >> i'm sorry, not charlie yet. your turn. >> thank you so much. we appreciate it. now we are talking about the potential solution to a problem happening across the bay area. converters are being cut out of cars left and right, stolen and sold on the black market. now a san francisco mechanic is stepping up to try to help his neighbors. his goal, make catalytic converters less attractive to thieves. lauren toms shows us how he's doing it and why some say his plan may not be enough to make a dent. >> reporter: imagine a catalytic converter is shockingly easy. >> it's cut right here and here. >> reporter: on a mission to deter thieves. >> almost every morning i wake up, i hear a new victim. you can hear them from blocks away. >> reporter: and since november, just in the last few months, he's seen a major spike

in customers needing their converters replaced. they're nearly impossible to get. the shortage has put significant delays on replacements. if you want an aftermarket converter sooner, it will set you back thousands of dollars. >> looking for the palladium, rhodium, and platinum. and the zero emission vehicles will have more on that. and it is too easy to steal. >> reporter: isaiah partnered with sfpd to make stealing the car piece a bit unappealing. and he has sprayed a logo on any catalytic converter free of charge. >> i want to give as much as i can to my community. this had is a very open community, very welcoming. i just want to be there for them and help in any way i can. >> reporter: police chief bill scott knows it's not a perfect solution, but says anything can help. >> it's not going to stop the thieves from being thieves. but what we do hope for is if somebody has their property

stolen, their catalytic converter stolen that's easier to identify because we do recover them. >> imagine a thief in the dark of night is going car to car to car on a block with a flashlight. if they see that sfpd logo, maybe they will pass that car by. so that's a part of the deterrent affect. >> reporter: more than 300 people have signed up for the free service, but not all are convinced it's worth the effort. living in the sunset district and had his catalytic converter stolen in the night. but the neighbor witnessed the theft and left a note. >> and the rear passenger saw me and waved. they drove north on 41st avenue. it all happened in less than ten seconds. >> reporter: he just got his car back after three months at the repair shop. i asked if he thinks anything could prevent it from happening again. >> it is just a joke. the information off, scrape it off. they can, they're looking for the raw minerals inside your catalytic converters. they're

not like going -- nobody is going oh, i have a catalytic converter. oh no, it has an sfpd tag on it. i can't take it. >> reporter: back at the body shop, isaiah is providing the free labeling to anyone who wants it with the hope his work will do the small part to protect his community. all right, finally my turn. they had a winner goes home game in the college world series today with a top ten play to show you and plus a happy highlight for fans of stanford. we finally got the splash hit number at oracle park. look at this guy. how could you

all right, charlie's here. let's kick it off with the giants, shall we? >> kickoff with football. opening pitch. we will start first inning and lead it off with the giants. let's say that. big matchup at oracle park. you usually don't say that with the baltimore orioles in town, but they're one of the best teams in baseball right now. not your dad's baltimore orioles. the giants, entering today and they had logan hill on the webb playing like an all star. the 49ers quarterback in attendance with another rising star. there's casey schmidt. lamont wade jr. led off the game for san francisco. the first pitch. oh. heading for the water and into the cove. splash it number 100. the biggest find in the cove since he found his ring, my precious. back to logan webb going for his eighth straight quality start. aaron hicks' home run would actually ruin that. we

don't get end of the highlight there. instead we skip ahead to the a's, which stinks because the giant's game was a lot more important. the giants actually lost the game 3-2, but we'll show you the a's highlight because we've got to roll with it on live tv. the two-run homer by the marlins off the bat of jesus sanchez. the final score in this one, marlins in a shutout 4-0. women's college world series, stanford needed a win or they were out taking on alabama. i guess we're going back to the giants game. >> live tv, baby. now we're back to stanford. stanford needed a win or they were out taking on alabama in the 6th inning. alabama's janet johnson. this will get you fired up, folks, katelyn lim, flashing the leather, preserves the shutout. stanford still up one in the 7th inning. and sydney steel, that's out of here. steel accounts for both the stanford runs. and stanford wins it 2-0. they fight on to

see another day. stanford plays another elimination game sunday against the loser of oklahoma and tennessee. so back to the giants. stanford baseball opening up play in ncaa tournament against san jose state. pac-12 player of the year, alberto rios, that's a grand salami to put the cardinals on top. one of four homers for stanford as they beat the spartans 7-2. san jose state will play an elimination game tomorrow. santa clara is also in the ncaa tournament for the first time since the broncos in '97. arkansas handled them today, setting up the elimination game for santa clara. if you're wondering, i can go back to the notes here. >> the giants lost 3-2. michael conforto had a chance with a runner on the bottom of the 9th. >> we believe you. >> yeah, it happened. >> thanks, charlie. get an ice cream for free. sounds like a
