11:06 pm
tailgating me. i couldn't do anything to maneuver to get away from him. i was in the number one lane. there shouldn't be anything coming up from the side on the left and before i know it, he's in the shoulder pulling parallel with me like side by side. so he worked to match my speed and then i look over to my left and he's got his passenger window rolled down and then it's just like pop, pop, pop, pop. >> reporter: she says five shots hit her white suv. she pulled over near the monterey boulevard exit. >> i was shaking and screaming, like that was the shock reaction to what had happened and seeing the blood. some of the bullets went into the backdoor panel, which is where my son's booster seat is and so thankful he wasn't with me. >> reporter: she says the gunman was driving a dark colored suv with tinted windows. it's got a black license plate with yellow

11:17 pm
tomorrow but a degree a day. that's all we ask as this high pressure that is keeping temperatures in phoenix close to 110 plus. forecast high for phoenix for tomorrow is 110 degrees. while we'll be getting to cool off a little as the high shifts east and this low pressure produces an onshore flow, it's still going to be warm in the southwest, so not as warm inland. we'll get low clouds at the shoreline, high clouds up top and as the week goes on, it will be a cooling trend during the week but nothing dramatic. the numbers come down inland a couple degrees a day until we get into the 80s by wednesday, thursday, and friday. see the southerly flow here with high clouds coming up from the south, low clouds packing in the shoreline, clear skies inland, but even inland they'll get a few high clouds floating in overhead. by the shoreline gusty winds, cool temperatures, gusts into the mid-30s and for the rest of us 10 to 25 miles an hour tomorrow. here's how it looks. a mix of low and high clouds for everybody tomorrow,

welcome back. there are growing frustrations over what some are calling a new humanitarian crisis at the u.s./mexico border, this after texas governor greg abbott recently signed on of on a plan to place floating barriers along the rio grande river earlier this month. critics are calling the move inhumane saying that migrants could get stuck underneath and ground. the justice department sent a letter to abbott saying that
11:23 pm
the floating barrier poses navigation and public safety risks and presents humanitarian concerns. governor abbott replied on twitter saying that texas has the sovereign authority to defend our border adding, "the tragic humanitarian concern on the border was created because of president biden's refusal to secure it." >> people need to wake up because it's costing our taxpayer dollars, but sadly, it's resulting in the death of innocent people. >> we can't just wait on the president to solve things. we can't wait for governors to try to fix it themselves. congress has a role to play in this. >> the biden administration said republicans voted against a department of homeland security funding request and are blocking comprehensive immigration reform. the doj says that texas has until 2:00 p.m. eastern time tomorrow to get rid of the barriers. after the break, california may need more housing, but a new plan to turn a hotel into

project homekey. the plan is to sell the hotel on el camino real to san mateo county for that purpose. the 99-room hotel would be turned into permanent housing, but some community members and city leaders are not happy with that plan saying they're angry that the county never consulted them and that the city could lose hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in hotel occupancy taxes. >> having a way for the homeless or the people who need help to get out of that situation is good, but at the same time you have to look at the surrounding community. what are their needs? losing a hotel in millbrae is almost like cutting off a finger. >> meanwhile millbrae council member saying the city has worked hard to decrease its unhoused population from over 100 down to about 20. he says filling a 99-room hotel would
11:28 pm
mean busing in homeless residents from other cities in the county. so far the state says project homekey has created nearly 13,000 homes through more than 200 projects across california allocating about $736 million in grant funding to local governments. as for the project in millbrae, city officials say the county has not provided any information about how soon a purchase of the hotel could happen. coming up after the break, "barbie" and "oppenheimer" performing big at the box office this weekend. which one managed to come out on top? just guess.
