>> -- why some aren't thrilled over a driverless expansion. then trapped in an inferno. deputies trying to escape with their lives after being surrounded by a massive blaze. and commotion at camp. a star potentially on the way out and another likely missing out on the preseason. from kpix this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> hello, i'm juliette goodrich in for sara tonight. a woman is shaken tonight and a community is standing together after a shocking attack in oakland. it started with a peaceful walk, but as our kelsi thorud shows us, it quickly turned into a fight for survival. >> what was your name again? >> kelsi. >> kelsi, i'm allen. >> reporter: every night after dinner, allen wang and his wife usually take a walk through their oakland hills

neighborhood. on monday night, allen says his wife went on their walk alone, and that's when the unthinkable happened. >> they were chasing her and he brandished what looked like a sword or some type of long stick, and he was yelling, hey, i need to ask you a question. but of course, he wasn't trying to ask questions. he was truly just trying to hit her. and he ended up hitting her three or four times. >> reporter: allen says just a few hundred feet from their house, his wife walked past a car with two people inside. that's when he says a young man jumped out of that car and attacked her. >> she came this way, i think over here, and he hit her. and then she went that way, tried to evade him, and he hit her again, two more times. and then that's when the neighbor saw from the top what was going on and started screaming. and she came down to help my wife, and then the kid ran back down the street into the car and they sped down. >> reporter: allen says his wife was cut on her arm and her back. they called the police, but the suspects were gone

before officers arrived. now all they can think is what if it happens again. >> my wife was thinking about taking my 6-year-old daughter on the walk yesterday. what if she was there with them? right? we have elderly people on the street, what if they were on the walk? >> reporter: allen says this isn't the first time someone in his family has been attacked in oakland. his mother was brutally beaten by strangers in the middle of the road two months ago. >> and a car had stopped her on the street while she was walking. one kid got out and started pushing her around trying to find money. he didn't find anything. the other driver came out and said did you find anything. he said no, and then they beat her. >> reporter: allen says these two attack have him fed up. he no longer feels safe in his own city, even in his own home. >> it's just -- there's so much crime that's going on. it's -- you kind of go into like the hierarchy of needs,

this basic need of safety is missing. there's no safety in the city. >> reporter: it's that, allen says, has given him no choice but to move. he says he and his wife are already looking at places in other areas, and he's hoping to get his mother out of the city too. it's national night out, and across the country communities held block parties and invited local police. here in the bay area, the event comes on the heels of a violent weekend in oakland. oakland police say five people were hurt in a shooting at an illegal sideshow early sunday morning and three people were hospitalized after a shooting near the west oakland b.a.r.t. station on monday. despite the recent wave of violence, oakland mayor sheng thao and organizers say tonight was about positivity. >> we get to come out, break bread, and not just that, but get to know each other. that's the way we keep ourselves safe. >> focus is for neighbors to come here and have a good time. >> recent police statistics are reporting overall crime is down about a third in oakland as of

this spring. san francisco's police chief is touting the success of the department's drone program. he says it's already making a difference in reducing crime. so the pd released this drone footage to show how they've helped make several arrests so far. the chief says this is the first time the department's had air support in 24 years. what changed? the passage of prop e in march, which gave police more power to use surveillance tools. the department has deployed six drones so far with more on the way. >> we want to prevent as much as we can crime from occurring and pursuits from occurring, but in the event we can't prevent them, this is very effective, and our bottom line is making sure we apprehend the people committing these crimes. >> after days of deliberation and debate, we know who kamala harris will be heading into the november election with by her side. today she named minnesota governor tim walz as her running mate. walz has served

as minnesota's 41st governor since 2019. the harris campaign put out a short video this morning the moment he received the call. >> listen, i want you to do this with me. let's do this together. would you be my running mate and let's get this thing on the road? >> i would be honored, madame vice president. >> his first foray into politics came in 2004 when he volunteered to help in john carey's presidential campaign. before that he had what many would consider a pretty ordinary american life. he joined the national guard as a teenager, using the gi bill to pay tuition at nebraska's state college. walz would serve in the national guard for the next 24 years. after graduating, he taught in china for a year before returning to nebraska where he began his career as a school teacher. and then in 1994, he married fellow school teacher gwen walz. they then moved to minnesota in the

mid-90s where he started teaching and coaching football at a west high school. and after a stint in congress in and winning the governor's seat in 2019, his life was then thrust into some of the most high pressure political events we have seen in years. the defining moments of his first term came in 2020. first came the covid pandemic. walz supported major lockdowns with restaurants temporarily closing and schools going remote. >> and i'm trying the best i can to give the data based on the science, pushing the enve lope envelope as close as i can. >> reporter: massive dem straights turned violent and for three days fires raged, destroying entire blocks of the twin cities. >> this is not grieving. and this is not making a statement that we fully acknowledge needs to be fixed. this is life

threatening, dangerous. >> reporter: after three days, walz called in the national guard. he would receive intense criticism for not bringing in the guard sooner. in the fall of 2022 came the feeding our future scandal. at $250 million, it was the largest pandemic fraud scheme in the country. walz would maintain his administration did everything it could once it learned of the fraud. despite escalating criticism, walz easily won re-election in 2022. >> we're not going to see things that minnesotans need be stalled. we're going to see things that are able to move forward. >> reporter: 2023 would prove a banner year for walz. he was part of a dfl trifecta that passed a sweeping progressive agenda that included free school meals, codifying abortion right, enacting paid family leave and more. >> we're pretty sure it's going to mean a fair, more

inclusive, and more prosperous minnesota. >> reporter: he was named chair of the democratic governors association. in july of 2024 he led a delegation of democratic governors to the white house to confront president joe biden over concerns about his age. walz emerged from that meeting insisting biden was fit enough to stay in the presidential race. walz has been married to first lady gwen walz for 30 years. they have two children, hope, age 23, and gus, age 17. this is the audi red and gold report. >> how about we talk 49ers? they're going to take the field -- >> it's a great theme song, by the way. i love it. >> did you think of that one? >> sure. >> they're going take the field for their preseason opener four days, but the biggest story line about camp right now is really the business off the field. >> what to do about receiver brandon aiyuk? you know, the 49ers, jules, they really don't have to do anything at

all, but trade talk certainly has stoked the fires. matt lively went to see about that in santa clara. >> reporter: the drama inside the 49ers facility heated up as kyle shanahan confirmed reports brandon aiyuk has been granted permission to seek a trade as both sides seemingly refuse to budge. >> i'm not getting any specifics with offers, contracts, trades, anything like that. but what i can tell you guys is nothing has changed. >> reporter: one player that knows quite a bit about contract talks is nick bosa, who held out last training camp. >> as it gets closer and closer it gets pretty dicey. but i definitely didn't want to be traded. i trust john and kyle, but he's a very tough player to replace. >> you're always disappointed when you can't keep ahold of all your players or it's not going exactly right. i don't like losing anybody. so that's why i'm hoping it does work out here. >> reporter: the other big news from santa clara, christian mccalf i have sidelined with a

calf injury. >> he didn't pull it or anything, but you probably won't see him this preseason. >> reporter: the 49ers brought back familiar face in matt breida. >> breida in the second level. >> good-bye. >> it's awesome to have matt available to be able to get a legit player who's had a hell of a career who's been here before too felt pretty fortunate. >> reporter: for this upcoming game in tennessee, kyle shanahan said most of the starters likely to rest. for the red and gold report, i've matt lively. >> all right, matt. according to reports tonight, jules, the new england patriots have bowed out of trade talks with the niners, so the browns and steelers now are still in the running to deal for brandon aiyuk. with or without him, 49ers play at the tennessee titans saturday, kpix, a 4:00 kick. you know who's going to be there? >> i was going to sashgs wheels up for you. you leave on friday? >> on friday. >> you do aisle or window when you travel? >> i am an aisle guy.

>> okay. >> not a window. >> i'm a window. we can travel then. >> okay. >> thanks, vern. an autonomous expansion. waymo making moves. then trapped with nowhere to go. a group of sheriff's deputies stuck and surrounded by a raging wildfire. stephen. >> the late show with stephen z's baking the house special. arisa's styling a new look. and steve's filling his biggest order ever. with the first ever comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee, these business owners get five years

all right. let's get to our weather now. the best part about it being really, really hot in the east bay is that it's so nice in the -- >> just waiting. >> you're like, what is the best part? >> the silver lining is the

best part. >> the evenings. >> it cools off quickly. it's cooling off quickly right now, and even better, not quite as hot tomorrow. we're gradually back down from that inland heat that took over today. let's take a look at the big picture pattern, and the heat dome is now going to retreat. today's temperatures were the peak of this latest hot spell. almost exactly normal temperatures near the water through the weekend. farther inland it'll take until sunday for temperatures to return to what is normal this time of year. looking towards downtown from treasure island, not seeing fog out there so far. we'll see some later on tonight. more in a second. it is mildly east of the oakland hills. that's a nice retreat from the near triple digit temperatures you had today. livermore got over 100 degrees. down to 57 degrees in san francisco, and just one degree warmer than that now in santa rosa. the fog is not going to be absent, but it's going to be fairly confined by early tomorrow morning. again, with the compressed marine layer, can't overcome the

terrain barriers. trying to sneak into the santa clara valley tomorrow morning, same for the north bay valleys. it will not last long. along the coast some glimmers of sunshine peeking through. those pretty few and far between for the next couple of days. let's take a look at low temperatures for tonight, which are going to drop down to basically what's normal for this time of year, which is an achievement considering that we were hot inland today. temperatures into the 60s in the santa clara valley. mostly 60s inland in the east bay with 50s around the bay and also 50s for the north bi. vallows tend to collect cool air more efficiently, and that's the case through tonight. down to the low 50s by tomorrow morning in petaluma and santa rosa. temperatures warm up into the mid-80s for the north bay. stepping back from the 90s today. triple digit temperatures east of the oakland hills today, mostly 90s. close to 100 in antioch. no such worries for san francisco and oakland, upper 60s and low # #10s. low 60s along the coast with temperatures in the santa clara

valley more of a mix of 80s and 90s instead of the widespread 90s that we had today. morgan hill got up to around 100 degree this is afternoon as well. but as we head through the next ten days, if you are tired of the hot temperatures, we have good news in store for you. our temperatures step down closer to, well, reasonably hot for livermore, which is kind of the inland spot that we use as a representative. inland parts of the bay area because it has fluctuation this time of year. notice the big drop the second half of the weekend. monday and tuesday below average temperatures. only hitting the low 80s even far inland in the east bay. and once we warm up after that only talking about a return to temperatures that are close to normal for the middle of august. in terms of wildfire smoke, let's zoom in closer to northern california, because that is where the park fire is. and all of that smoke blowing off of the park fire is going to be blown farther away from us. our air quality has not been perfect, at least we're avoiding all of this. we don't have to worry about that

widespread smoke as we head into the end of the workweek and the weekend with the onshore breeze. likely to continue after that as well. around the bay, hardly any change. morning fog giving way to afternoon sunshine. high temperatures mostly in the 70s but monday will be the coolest day with highs bayside only in the upper 60s. while 60s will be the rule of thumb for the coast as will the fog. the low cloud cover, the gray skies overhead, and that occasional drizzle with us early into next week. you've been warned if you're attending stern grove on sunday. >> double layers. thank you so much. come on. we're going to get out of here. we got to get out of here. >> boy, look at that heart pounding moments this on a california deputy's body camera. the deputies with kern county sheriff's office responding to the borel fire

finding themselves in a race for survival. they were helping people evacuate at the time when they heard over the radio that the fire had covered the road. so other routes were also being blocked by the flames after more than half an hour. air support was able to find a path to safety for the deputies, and they eventually made it out. so this video was taken the last week of july. the fire has since burned more than 50,000 acres souft of sequoyah national forest. all right, vern? >> straight ahead in sports. a local big league team was on the wrong side of history tonight. and this giants rookie pitcher, mr. hayden, went to washington and was tested. stern grove festival presents a free concert featuring jazz and funk legend herbie hancock and

introducing togo's new barbecue beef sandwich. it's piled high with tender beef that's slow cooked and smothered in tangy memphis style barbecue sauce. it's no fuss, no muss. just tons of flavor. the best barbecue beef is only a togo's. try one today. all right, vern's up next. got giants. >> giants. they were red hot, but every now and then, they got to cool off. >> all right. >> that's what happened

tonight. they've been going so well, at some point the giants, they would just have to stub its toe. winners of eight of the last ten. it happened tonight. giants bats did their talking early. here's the first inning. elliot ramos blast. right back from a thumb injury. his first at-bat opened the scoring. now later on in the inning, two men were on and two outs. and michael conforto put it where the big boys do. a deep shot gave the giants a 4-0 lead, and you figure it's over. but no, no, no, no. you can't leave them hanging up there like rookie hayden birdsong did too many times tonight. boom. c.j. abrams in the second inning crushed that high cheese a three-run shot put the nats back in the lead. nats fans were amped. then in the third, birdsong's pitch, hitters like this are not going to miss it. bob melvin had to go and get him. he gave up

seven earned run sdpchlts bullpen didn't do much better. eighth inning, sean hjelle gave up two-run homer to james wood. nationals handled its business, 11-5 final. giants record fell to 57-58. all right, now the a's. they've been playing very tough as of late. the white sox, of all teams, just a little bit more oomph tonight. chicago had lost 21 in a row, and then tonight happened. fourth inning, andrew benedetti swung it like he had a good night's sleep. stayed fair for a two-run homer to put chicago up early. ninth inning. last chance for the a's, and zach got under it and with one last squeeze of the glove, the al-tying losing streak ended at 21. white sox, 5, a's, 1. the a's can still take the series with a win tomorrow. hey, shout-out amit elor, the 20-year-old wrestler from wall yut creek won olympic gold

today in dominant fashion. she's run the table since the games began. elor won four wrestling matches to get here, outpointing her opponents 31-2. she is the youngest olympic champion in american wrestling history. and oh, by the way, jules, because i know you were thinking about this. >> yes. >> team usa basketball took care of business today in the quarterfinals against brazil, 122-87 winners. and they remain perfect in paris as they face serbia on thursday in the semifinals. >> tres bien. >> oh, look at you. are you ready for some new sensations? how you can let your pooch join the perfume party at the same time.

more people are now able to hitch a ride in a self-driving car. autonomous vehicle company waymo has expanded to parts of the peninsula. so today waymo started offering rides in daly city, col ma, and broadmoor. they'll start out on surface streets for now. some people in daly city are excited about the expansion, saying they feel safe in these self-driving taxis. however, san mateo county supervisor david canepa said he's not so sure that he wasn't even notified about the move until late monday. >> and i'm not convinced when it comes to this autonomous vehicle technology that it's foolproof. they haven't shared with us the data. the best

thing that they could have done is to work with those police departments, work with those fire departments, and figure out if there was an emergency or if there was a situation they should have been training them. >> okay, so state senator dave from san jose is behind a bill that would change how self-driving cars are regulated. he withdrew it in june over concerns about it getting watered down with amendments but plans to introduce new legislation next year. in the meantime, waymo said in a statement, quote, our team is laser focused on refining waymo, one, to be as seamless and useful as possible for our riders. it is also expanding service to
