yeah, you do worry. i think we all got to live life to. and just. we should be able to do that and not not be concerned with those things >the incident putting the city in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. >>it just reiterates, you know, the problems of san francisco to people that don't live here. >so how does it change? what's already a tight and tense political season? >>mayor breed and vice president harris and they have to wear this, incident on their campaigns going forward >liz>it is not the attention san francisco needed thankfully, 40 niners, rookie ricky pearsall is recovering after that shooting, but it continues to paint the image of rampant crime in the city. today, we ask a bay area lawmaker what he thinks needs to be done to prevent gun violence and he's got a unique perspective. he himself has

been shot. we'll have that conversation in just a few minutes. but first, a look at your news headlines. 40 niners, rookie ricky pearsall continues the road to recovery. he was at the team facility today just three days after being shot in san francisco. peirsol was placed on the non-football injury list, but general manager john lynch does expect the rookie to play this season police say pearsall was shot in the chest during an attempted robbery saturday in union square. a 17 year old suspect from tracy was arrested. he could be charged any moment from now. berkeley police say a fisherman stabbed a windsurfer at the marina. they say the fisherman lost his pole in the water after the windsurfer got tangled in his line on sunday. police say the suspect, jimmy ray ellis, stabbed him in the shoulder with a knife after they got into a fight on the shoreline. the windsurfer was

hospitalized. the suspect was arrested. today, crews in san jose cleared a homeless encampment near mineta airport. we were there as tents, campers, and rvs were removed from the east side of irene street. the encampment is under a flight path. the city says campfire smoke poses a risk to planes taking off, as well as birds attracted to the trash. today, leaders in oakland celebrated the deal to sell the city's share of the coliseum. they officially signed the agreement over the weekend to pass it over to the african american sports and entertainment group for $105 million. the deal is expected to avert severe budget cuts, but the police union blasted the city, calling it shortsighted. san francisco just named a new interim fire chief, sandy tong will be the city's first chinese american in that role. she'll replace chief janine nicholson, who announced her retirement this month. tong served on her staff for the past five years. the city continues its search for a permanent fire chief, and

there's a new neighborhood in san jose. the city unveiled a new mural that says east village san jose. that's the newly renamed area on the east side of santa clara street from seventh to 22nd streets. it's all part of a revitalization effort for that business corridor. >all >>right speaking of getting outside, it was very warm today. we're experiencing a bit of a heat wave to start off the month of september. meteorologist zoe mintz is with me and zoe this is going to stick around for >a bit. yeah, it's going to stick around all the way through thursday. so if you thought today was hot, especially inland tomorrow, tomorrow is going to be the peak of the heat wave. so that's something to keep your eye on because we are already feeling temperatures anywhere from a couple of degrees warmer than yesterday to upwards of nearly 10 to 15 degrees warmer than just 24 hours ago. at this time 15 degrees warmer in livermore, 16 in fremont, 14 in redwood city, 12 in antioch, 16 in concord as well, and even in san francisco, we are 11 degrees warmer than yesterday,

and i'm sure everybody that lives in san francisco is feeling the heat, especially with many of us not having air conditioning, because temperatures right now are extremely warm, well above average. we're at 80 degrees in san francisco, 84 in oakland, 99 in concord, just over the oakland hills. really feeling that heat up 96 in antioch, 97 in livermore. so it's right around 100 degrees. maybe not at the triple digit mark right now, but we are definitely feeling that heat as we step out over the next couple of hours, which is why we do have the risk for heat related illness. that is going to be a huge factor as we step out over the next 24 to 48 hours. so heat related illness is going to be again a big factor stepping out this afternoon. but it only picks up tomorrow afternoon where you see those areas in red, especially in the higher elevations that are much drier and really not used to this kind of heat that heat related risk only gets higher as we step out thursday afternoon again, inland east bay communities, those areas in

purple have a very high risk for heat related illness. so this is the time of year that you need to plan you need to make sure you stay indoors during peak daytime heating hours, and you find ways to beat the heat because it is dangerous. this time of year is a huge heat dome, a huge area of high pressure is building overhead. that area of high pressure will arrive. it already has arrived and it will continue to impact us through tomorrow and thursday. again. it will peak inland tomorrow, but it will persist through thursday and maybe even friday afternoon will be excessive. it's not going to be as hot as tomorrow and thursday though, but it's the dry air that's sticking around. that, unfortunately, is creating fire weather concerns fire weather concerns are going to be an issue as well as air quality. so if we look at the air quality risk over the next couple of days, it is going to be elevated, especially for inland east bay communities and down into the santa clara valley. today and into tomorrow, you'll notice a bit more of that haze in the sky, and you'll definitely need to

wear a mask. if you do have a bit more of that sensitivity to particulate matter in the air, it should be out of our hair by later this week and into the weekend as those temperatures get a lot more comfortable. so comfortable heat is on the way over the next seven days, which is good news. we see an end in sight to this heat wave but it is going to be a next couple of days of very, very hot temperatures. 102 our forecast highs tomorrow afternoon 103 on thursday before temperatures begin to kind of even out by friday and into the weekend of weather ahead of us, we're seasonable conditions will return to the forecast. kind of depends where you are, how warm you'll be getting. bay area communities not going to be necessarily as hot, but still upper 80s for this time of year is well above average. but we will be getting back to seasonable by the end of the workweek and into the weekend just in time for where many of us do have outdoor plans this weekend, but it's the people that work outside today, tomorrow, and thursday that you are going to have to find breaks, drink a lot of water, wear light, loose fitting clothing. just make sure you

practice that heat safety. >liz>yeah, and most kids are back at school right now too. so playing outside can >be yes. >liz>you got to be careful. >oh yeah. air conditioning is key if you do live in those inland areas. >liz>all right zoe, thank you. all right. the shooting of 40 niners, rookie player ricky pearsall is bringing to light the ongoing issue of gun violence. and the goal of better gun safety today pearsall's teammates returned to practice and talked about how the violence has affected them >>as far as you protecting yourself you're a target everywhere you go, regardless of what you do, how big you are. you know what i'm saying? bullets have no name on them and you know what i'm saying? guns don't kill people people kill people. >liz>and while so much attention is on san francisco after the shooting, a political expert told our max darrow about the implications in city politics and beyond >the shooting of 40 niners. rookie ricky pearsall in union square, occurring in the midst of san francisco's hotly contested mayoral race. >>i think it's a very serious inflection point because it relates to the most pressing

issue on the docket for everyone public safety >usf professor of politics james taylor says it will have major implications but will impact one candidate more than the others. >>does not bode well for london breed as the incumbent, because she's in power, and this happened on her watch of course, she had nothing to do with it, but as the person in charge there's a blessing and a curse that comes with incumbency. >here's mayor breed in her first news conference after the shooting. >>we know san francisco has the lowest violent crime rate than most major cities in this country. but statistics don't matter when incidents like this occur. what matters is supporting the victim and holding those accountable. who break our laws and endanger the lives of others. >in the hours after the shooting, challenger mark farrell quickly took to x with this post, taking aim at breed another challenger, daniel

lurie, posted this to instagram saying senseless violence must end. >>these campaigns will reiterate the issue of public safety again and again. now, because this is going to be on the back of everyone's mind, even as we all move forward, >taylor says on the national level, the incident won't do kamala harris any favors either. >>it just reiterates, you know, the problems of san francisco to people that don't live here. >he believes the trump campaign will lean into this, since harris hails from the bay area and built her political career in california >>mayor breed and vice president harris. and they have to wear this incident on their campaigns, going forward because it already feeds to the narrative that san francisco is in decline san francisco is not safe. >a flashpoint that holds implications for the future. >liz>well, still ahead, we look at the scope of gun violence on a national level and look at what the white house hopefuls are saying about gun rights.

plus, hear from a bay area lawmaker about his work on gun laws after he himself was shot

i came to bayview hunter's point, where there was only one pediatrician to serve more than 10,000 children. daniel lurie said, i'm going to help. we opened a clinic for our most vulnerable children. i have worked shoulder to shoulder with him as we have brought solutions where people thought the problem was unsolvable. daniel doesn't take excuses. he holds himself accountable. and i know that he can do it for the city of san francisco.

>liz>there were more than 48,000 firearm related deaths in the united states in 2022. that's according to the cdc. and mccormick joins me now with more on the statistics and how they're being used to prove political points. >yeah, liz, this is, of course one of the most polarizing issues in american politics. while the constitution obviously allows the right to bear arms, how people are able to acquire and keep these guns is often up for debate. according to the cdc, an average of 132 people died from gun violence each day in the u.s. in 2022. firearm injuries are among the five leading causes of death for

people ages 1 to 44, and are the leading cause of death amongst children and teens. it was a big theme at last month's democratic national convention, including from the vp nominee. >look i know guns i'm a veteran. i'm a hunter. and i was a better shot than most republicans in congress. and i got the trophies to prove it but i'm also a dad. i believe in the second amendment, but i also believe our first responsibility is to keep our kids safe. >well, protecting access to guns is often a republican talking point. and while it was brought up, it was not a main theme at the rnc this year. that convention coming just days after former president trump was injured in a shooting at a campaign rally in pennsylvania. as for the trump campaign's plans, if he is elected president again, one of his senior advisers told reuters that he will safeguard gun rights by appointing

federal judges who oppose new firearm limits. legislatively, some recent house republican bills call for some cuts in gun control or safety funding saying that would help balance next year's budget. liz, >liz>and thanks so much. a bay area lawmaker has a very unique perspective on all this, on gun violence because he himself was a victim of it. orinda state senator steve glazer was shot in the neck with a pellet gun in 2003, and he nearly died. now he, along with his wife and doctors, are sharing his story in his podcast. >>they had brought the x ray back, and the doctor added looked at it, and it was clear as day in the x ray they saw a metal pellet right next to my spine in my neck and the atmosphere between your carotid artery and my carotid artery. yeah. it was, and it was certainly it was like a mushroom shaped pellet. and i still have that image seared in

my head >liz>earlier, i got a chance to speak with senator glazer about his work on gun legislation. since that terrifying incident. >>you came within inches of losing your life from a pellet gun. tell me what happened i was driving with my family in orinda and, just out of the blue, i got shot in the neck, went to the hospital, surgery, survived my wife went back with the police officers to try to find the person who did it. eventually caught the gentleman. and, the police did their investigation. felt that he should have been charged with attempted murder, but long the short story is he was not, the the twists and turns of the story is that, his connection to a notorious murder that was actually about to go on trial in in the bay area? the polk killing susan polk, the mother on trial for killing the father, eli polk, with a knife in the pool house. and it was

her son, eli polk, who shot me. so that's the story we tell on tabletalk. and now you have the short version. i mean, it's important to note that he wasn't charged in your case. partially because at the time, pellet guns weren't classified as as deadly weapons. they were classified as toys. now, you also worked to pass legislation that creates penalties for the unlawful use of pellet guns. what else do you think needs to be done with gun control on a local level now? i mean it's, you know, california has some of the strictest gun laws in the state or in the country. we do. and we continue to pass laws to try to make our communities safer, just this past year, we added requirements on microstamping, on handgun cartridges so guns could be traced in crimes. we've generated a tax on the sale of bullets to improve school safety. so we continue to, you know, advance laws that we hope will make our communities safer. but much of the big gun reforms have happened here in california.

what we need is for them to happen for our nation, banning assault weapons, having background checks for people across the our country, those are the things that would actually make california safer. you can go buy an ak 47 in a neighboring state and just bring it over into california. so we need gun gun reform for as a country. and i think that would help, help a lot more. do you think gun control is a big is a big enough issue in this campaign? well, it's going to be interesting to see because, you know, the philosophy about, gun violence in california is not always shared by other states. and this election is going to be decided by other states. and whether gun reform and gun control is going to work in georgia or north carolina or michigan, pennsylvania, that's an open question. i think that the candidates are kind of weigh in that the consequences of, of of wading in that debate right now versus something

else. and we're going to see how that plays out. you know, it's shocking to say the statistic, but it's been around for a long time firearms are the leading cause of death in children here in the u.s.. you would think that that statistic alone would spark real change, but it hasn't. in most states. do you blame politicians for not passing legislation? do you blame the nra? well the nra has always been a very powerful political force. but here's the dilemma is that once you start talking about gun reform people on the other side say you're going to take away my right to own a firearm. and of course, that's not even close to being the truth. what the the advocates would say is that we're trying to take away weapons that belong in war. they don't belong at home for home protection or to hunt. that by requiring background checks means we're trying to take guns away from people who have mental illness. but we're not trying to take away your gun. but so much of the debate is polarized. and part of that

is this falsehood that gun reform means taking away your gun. i mean, i think a lot of people that are opposed to a lot of gun control feel that way. they think, you know they know gun violence is an epidemic, but so is mental illness. more kids are exposed to violent images on social media. what do you say to folks who feel that gun violence is more of a culture and a mental health issue than a problem with the guns themselves? well, i think it's all those things, but people don't get killed through some action on social media. that's someone picking up a weapon with ammunition and firing it and killing somebody. and that's way too easy for people to be able to do in this day. and age, not just with any gun, but guns that are incredibly, incredibly powerful. >liz>well, psychologists say gun violence is a contributing factor for stress for a lot of americans, even if they're not directly impacted by it. >>people are experiencing vicarious trauma. how significant is this stress?

we have about a third of people in the country who are saying that their behavior has changed because of mass shootings. >liz>the ceo of the american psychological association says right after mass shootings, 75% of americans report significant stress and that parents of young kids especially have concerns about their children's safety. >>when you're talking about churches and synagogues and shopping malls, we have less of an ability to distance and i think that has a different kind of impact on us. >liz>some young people in philadelphia who have lost loved ones to gun violence are looking to turn their pain into change. they recently made pitches for a social media campaign to get people to put their guns down. >>i wish my dad could teach me how to drive, but unfortunately he couldn't. he lost his life to gun violence. >liz>the guns change the story campaign is a partnership between several community groups and the national group project unloaded. teams were

given six weeks to tell their stories. the focus of each video was getting their message across to a younger audience, and they say social media is an important tool to do just that. >>an energy that we have in philadelphia, specifically with gun violence, is not that easy and that comfortable to speak to someone. so it's a little bit easier to hit a follow or send a direct message or send a mention. it's a it's a way of comfort. what we do is try to change the culture around, is it really cool to have a gun? we're seeing young people go to jail in prison every day. >liz>a panel of judges, including the police chief, city leaders and community activists watched each video. the winner now gets $2,500 and will see their video featured as part of project unloaded national campaign. we'll be right back
