now at 11:00. >> he's going to have to grow up without a dad. >> and grow up without a dad. >> a father in mourning after he says his son attacked members of his own family before he turned the gun on himself. then why the fbi is changing its tune on the terror attack in new orleans. >> he said, "don't worry about it, dad. i love you," and we hugged. >> how the victims are being remembered after a new year's day tragedy. and a new year means the start of an encampment crackdown in part of the south bay. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> hi. i'm sara donchey. a father is trying to find answers tonight after a shooting in a san francisco neighborhood. a man died and his girl friend is fighting for

her life. their son was hurt but is expected to be okay. andrea nakano spoke with the family members about what happened. >> a year and a half, yeah. he's going to have to grow up without the dad and everything. he's going to have to grow up without the dad. >> reporter: anthony thomas mourning the loss of his son as he arrived at the home where the shooting happened. >> he took his life for some strange reason. >> reporter: thomas says it was his son that shot his girl friend and turned the gun on himself. >> today, my birthday, and what a present. so i just tell people to stay away from guns and just try to work out your problems the best way what you can. >> reporter: investigators have been on the scene trying to piece together what happened inside this bernal heights home. police say they got a call of a shooting just after 8:00 thursday morning. thomas also got a call as the incident

was unfolding, a cry of help from the girl friend. >> his baby mom called me and said, "can you get here? can you get here? " i was in parkmerced and tried to get here as fast as i can and my daughter called and said, "your son shot the lady and shot himself." >> reporter: many neighbors had already left for work before the shooting. maria gomez says she was shaken to hear about the tragedy. >> i've lived here a few years now. so i'm surprised myself. i think we all are at this point. >> reporter: family members are wondering how the situation escalated to this level of violence. thomas says his 24-year-old son experienced bullying and wishes he could have done more to help him. >> keep your kid by your side. keep them safe. keep them strong. make sure you talk to them. make sure you talk to your kids. i didn't have a chance to talk to my son like i wanted to. talk to your kids. it was a really rough day

across san francisco because in the soma neighborhood two people were hurt in another shooting. a man and woman was found in the lobby of the mercy housing complex with gunshot wounds. they are expected to survive. police are looking for a suspect there. federal agents are off to a busy start in 2025 with two big cases on both ends of the country. in new orleans an investigation is into the terror attack and another has police asking in vegas what led a man to shoot himself in the head and set off an explosion? tonight the fbi seems to have a handle on how a houston man pulled on of a terror attack in the heart of new orleans. >> nothing to indicate through call records, through anything on those devices, through interviews, through anything in our systems that he was aided in this attack by anybody. >> the fbi says shamsud-din jabbar rented a truck in texas and drove to new orleans tuesday night. after midnight

the morning of the attack he placed two improvised explosives in coolers in the french quarter. what is only slightly less clear is why, but the feds do know jabbar posted a video online right before he drove a rental truck into a crowd of people, killing 14 and injuring many more. >> he was 100% inspired by i.s.i.s. >> that doesn't track for some of the people who knew jabbar, including one man who served with him in the army. >> i can only speak for the 2011 version of sham, which was he was a normal individual, no red flags, great soldier, phenomenal friend. >> a couple thousand miles away in vegas police are scratching their heads about why a green beret shot himself in the head and detonated a truckful of explosives outside a trump hotel. federal officials say for now there is no definitive link to what happened in new orleans in spite of the fact that both suspects served in the army and rented their vehicles through the same app, san francisco-based turo.

>> if these turned out to be simply similarities, very strange similarities to have. so we're not prepared to rule in or rule out anything at this point. >> vegas police say they found matthew livelsberger military id, passport, and two guns inside the burned out truck. his family told cbs news his wife hadn't heard from him in days and he had no signs of extremist beliefs or mental health issues. back to louisiana, we're starting to hear more from the families of some of the 14 victims of the new orleans terror attack, including from the parents of a young man who begged him not to go out that night. it would be the last time they spoke to their son. >> and i said, son, please don't go. it's dangerous over there. it's not the way it used to be. there's a lot of crime. please stay here," and he's like, "don't worry about it, dad, i love you," and we hugged and he left. >> again, they went looking for him the morning before but didn't hear back from him

after that conversation. their son matthew died at just 25 years old. back here in the bay area there is a new year crackdown on some homeless encampments in the city of san jose. the santa clara valley water district can now enforce a ban on encampments near waterways where hundreds of people have been living, but as wilson walker found out, they're still trying to figure out where to house the people who they kick out. >> so i have another little -- the red thing right there is my shower and then that's my tent. that's where i sleep under the other gray tarp. >> reporter: for anna garcia this spot has been home for three years now. in that time she has lost her dog and figured out how to live alongside the 30 to 40 others here on this stretch of coyote creek. >> for a lot of us, this is all we have. this is all we have, like if you guys were to kick us out, where are we going to go? how are we going to live? >> reporter: that question of

what would be next comes with the arrival of valley water's new water resources protection ordinance. >> i just know that they're going to -- well, starting today they're supposed to be kicking everybody out. >> trash dumping or discharge of debris or hazardous materials into the waterway, that's something we just can't allow to happen or continue in any way. >> reporter: mark bilski is with valley water's good neighbor program and says the goal isn't necessarily removing anyone, but resolving so-called high priority problems. that would be encampments resulting in violence or severe impact to the environment, things like cars, hazardous waste, or excessive amounts of trash. in other words, keep the encampments small and clean. >> if people are able to adhere to the condition guidelines for the most part, then valley water is willing to focus our enforcement efforts elsewhere, on the worst impacts, trying to

prevent those. >> that would be good because there's a lot of us that are out here that aren't causing an impact. we don't throw anything into the creek. >> reporter: anna says she works hard to keep her spot clean, but admits others do not and then there are those who don't even live here. >> other people come and throw garbage. like i've had other people come and throw garbage right there and it's like okay, how am i supposed to -- >> reporter: would you get lumped in with the high priority people? >> yeah. would i be considered a high priority? would i be considered a low priority? >> reporter: and who is responsible for the trash is just one question. >> like what i don't get is how they're going to kick us out if they don't have anywhere for us to go. >> right now i think that there's just nowhere for a lot of people to go. >> reporter: valley water acknowledges the lack of available housing and that is why they're hoping for a kind of working relationship with those on the land while they wait for more places to put more people. >> what we're hoping is that

our enforcement of our ordinance can ramp up in tandem with housing and shelter coming online so that when people are removed from waterways, they're going into housing, interim housing and even better would be permanent housing. >> reporter: that means the wait for housing will likely continue for those already in line like anna herself. >> i've been on the wait list for like a year and a half already. so it's like okay, i don't think i'll get housing, but that's just me. i don't know. >> valley water told wilson the next month will be about educating people, letting people in encampments know what would make them a high priority for removal. we have reported on this a lot. the santa cruz wharf, which has been closed is actually reopening this weekend, meaning businesses on the wharf will reopen their doors. it was closed off last week after a portion of it

collapsed into the ocean during a powerful storm and really big waves. engineers have now deemed the rest of the wharf safe for visitors. those waves, we had a lot of video of what the water looked like. >> yeah. >> those were scary. >> right. >> in a lot of places, obviously down half moon bay. >> right. you've seen the video of the guy surfing the 100-foot plus wave at mavericks. >> yeah. even from images and not being there in person, that was scary. you could just see the power of that. >> yeah. >> i know we're getting rain and more of a storm-like environment, but nothing like that. >> right, no. the surf will be a concern over the weekend and early next week as well. it's just that time of year the storms in the pacific kick up those waves, but short term it's rain we're tracking as it gets closer to the bay area. now the bulk of the shower activity is off to our north but steadily making its way closer to us and will move in in the next few hours. let's look at a closer view how the radar will play out as we head

through tonight into tomorrow. this is just a quick pass of this. we'll stop the map at various points coming up in the full forecast, just want to show you the quick progression of light to moderate rain showers through tonight into the first half of friday. i would plan on a wet morning commute. allow a few extra minutes out the door, but this is a fast mover and the showers will move out by early tomorrow afternoon. after that is when the high surf will be more of a concern. we are under a high surf warning along the coast as we head into friday night and early saturday. let's try to get that map to pop up. there it is right in purple along the coast that. goes into effect at 9:00 evening to 3:00 a.m. sunday. 25 to 30-foot waves and it looks like the high waves will be a problem by monday and tuesday next week as well. that's caused by a storm system that's way out over the pacific. the rain we'll get tonight is not going to be something that repeats itself over and over again. in fact, we're looking at a dry forecast after tomorrow. we'll

look at the seven-day outlook, including a warm-up, coming up in a few minutes. >> thank you. the fbi doesn't usually come knocking unless they're looking for something big, but even they probably couldn't imagine how big this bust would be. >> that's a little scary, very scary. i mean hey, you just never know who your neighbors are, right? >> where they found more than 100 bombs packed into somebody's home. and a plane crash in a california city set off a chain reaction that sent dozens of people running for their lives. and what is the strangest thing you've ever asked for at a hotel? can it beat asking for a falcon to help with a marriage proposal?

a really scary scene in southern california where a small plane crashed right through the roof of a warehouse in fullerton. at least 200 people were working inside when this happened. two people died. look at this video from a business across the street. you can see a fireball and smoke coming out of the roof. the pilot told air traffic control he was going to turn around and make an emergency landing

almost immediately after taking off. >> have you ever thought about a plane landing? >> all the time because we hear the planes like going really close to the company and i thought about it one time, but i didn't know it was going to be real, you know, until this day. >> authorities say the plane was a kit built, meaning a pilot can assemble and maintain it themselves. the faa and ntsb are looking into the cause of the crash. even if the fbi had a hunch, they probably could have not guessed exactly how many bombs they would find when they went knocking at a man's house in virginia. agents say they found over 150 explosive devices inside and that it was probably the biggest bust of its kind in the history of the department. john hood explains what else they found. >> that's a little scary, very scary. i mean, hey, you just never know who your neighbors are, right? >> reporter: renee wright tells me she and her crew had been

working on an upcoming estate sale just down the road from where the fbi allegedly found over 150 explosives at the home of 36-year-old brad spafford. wright said she could remember leaving the night december 17th to find law enforcement vehicles flooding the road. >> really foggy that night and when i got down around the curve, still lights, but a whole lot more and when i get up there, the first house was probably seven or eight cars. >> reporter: a search warrant was issued against spafford for allegedly owning a rifle that was unregistered. while executing the warrant, the fbi found a short barrel rifle inside a safe and over 150 explosive devices on the property, a majority found in a detached garage labeled lethal. the fbi learned spafford was allegedly stockpiling homemade ammunition and explosives even in his freezer next to food. a majority of the pipe bombs had to be detonated on site because of how unstable they were. >> it was all day long. >> reporter: while spafford is

only facing one weapons charge for the rifle, prosecutors say he could face other charges for having unregistered destructive devices. back to california, we might be in good state for the state's snowpack for this time of year. the first snow survey of 2025 showed 24 inches of snow on the ground up at the sierra which adds up to about 91% of the average the state expects this time of year, but as paul has told us time and time again, mother nature could say hold my beer and we're kind of at the mercy of what happens next, right? >> right. three years ago the winter of 2021/'22 the end of december things looked fantastic because we had such a wet snowy december and then it just stopped for about two months and we ended up way below average for rainfall in the bay area and snowfall in the sierra. there's a lot of things that can happen still over the next few months. next couple days we get another rain chance. let's look at the big picture prospect tough and zoom in for a closer look in futurecast. i want to give you the overview. we'll see this next storm system spreading rain across the bay area

tomorrow, but once this system moves through all the action is going to shift elsewhere in the country. the rain chances are either going to miss us to the north or farther and farther north as the storm track gets nudged away, but really all the active weather will be through the middle and eastern parts of the country heading through next week. this is the futurecast radar simulation for all of next week. we have a winter storm that will push through. cold air comes crashing through behind that, cold enough there could be a wintery mix of precipitation all the way down towards the gulf coast and potential for a significant ice storm in the carolinas, of all places. we're talking about some weird weather in other parts of the country. let's talk about our weather through the rest of tonight with the last rain chance that we'll see for a little while. the radar simulation from 2:00 tomorrow morning to 6:00 in the morning shows the first showers moving into the north bay and then pressing across more of the bay area even before the sun comes

up. we'll see probably a wet morning commute. allow extra time to splash through puddles. the heaviest rain will fall between 8:00 and 11:00 tomorrow morning and it's not going to be that heavy. it won't last that long. our flooding potential is at a minimum with this system with the heaviest rain pushing farther east by late morning and as we wind the clock into early afternoon, the showers become a little fewer and farther between. we start to dry out already by early afternoon. we'll see breaks in the cloud cover before the sun goes down. a couple of straggling leftover showers and maybe a sprinkle possible tomorrow evening, but very few and far between. any outdoor plans, i would go ahead with those. how much rain are we talking about? modest amounts. the low end of things less than 0.1-inch for antioch, less than 0.2 for livermore and san jose,

elsewhere generally a quarter inch for san francisco and oakland, 0.3 the forecast estimate for the coast, pacifica and half moon bay and 0.3 to short of half an inch of rain around santa rosa. this is going to be beneficial rain, no flooding potential, not a lot of wind energy associated with this system, but after this one moves out we are pretty much done for a while. this is going to be a snowmaker for the sierra. let's add that up with futurecast. we're talking about 5 to 10 inches in general. the snow line will be around 5,500 feet. winter storm warning for the highest elevations and a winter weather advisory at lake level around tahoe. travel will be treacherous along u.s. 50 and i-80. put it off until saturday. here's the dry forecast as we look farther down the line, significant trend toward drier than normal conditions in the six to ten day outlook and in the eight to 14-day outlook to mid-january. after tomorrow basically two weeks of dry weather ahead of us. we'll keep you updated in case things trend in a bit more

unsettled direction. we are going to see a warm-up once the atmosphere dries out. we go from near average temperatures in the showers tomorrow and without the showers saturday. then we warm up, low to mid-60s by the middle of next week on average. some of the warmest spots could threaten 70 degrees, especially wednesday and thursday. sounds pretty good. straight ahead in sports, if you had a ticket to tonight's warriors/ sixers game, you got 48 special minutes because this night steph curry did something he had never done before in his nba career. you'll find out in a moment.

- i had health insurance before. (discouraged) so expensive. i mean, i'm helping my mom out, i don't have that kinda cash. - ugh, i know. but you can get financial help now through covered california. it's totally affordable. you'd be surprised. they've got this calculator thing that shows how much you'll pay. - for real? - yeah! what are you doing not having health insurance, man? - hey, i know, i know... - here, let me show you... - we all have questions. covered california has answers and can find a health plan that's right for you. covered california. this way to health insurance.

hang with me for a second. i know you were away for a while. you were greatly missed, by the way. he had a couple weeks off, lovely, much deserved, but i remember you talking about curry having a

very off game and it felt so foreign to talk about that because we just know him as the curry that goes off. >> it seems like yesterday he had a game he didn't make a single shot and then tonight what did it for me, he was so overcome by his performance he was looking at his hand in awe like he could not believe what he was doing with this right hand. >> we can believe it. >> absolutely. there are times in my career when i was witnessed greatness, but just a few where i've seen something next level. what if this was the game that caused the dubs to snap out of it? here's steph curry three nights ago. >> how do kids say we're very mid right now, just very average. >> there was nothing average about curry's game tonight. look at this. every time it left his hand from deep it went in. he was in rhythm from the jump tonight. look at this. warriors led 35-19 after one

quarter. curry got others involved, too. he set up andrew wiggins here. curry had ten of the warriors' 42 assists and he played with the joy of a little kid. look at him skipping his way to a 34-point win. for the first time in his career, he made all eight of his three-point attempts, matched his jersey number with 30 points on 30 minutes played and there was nothing the 76ers could do about it. he was the definition of the curry flurry, so much for right thumb sprain. the warriors who had lost 13 of 17 won it 135-105 and raised its record to 17-16. meantime just over 3,000 miles from chase center there is a brewing trade narrative hovering over miami's jimmy butler because jimmy buckets can't stand the heat. >> i want to see me get me joy back from playing basketball

and wherever that may be, we'll find out here pretty soon, but i want to get my joy back. i'm happy here, you know, off the court, but i want to be back to somewhat dominant. i want to hoop. i want to help this team win. right now i'm not doing that. >> can you get your joy back here on the court? >> probably not. >> hmmm. macklin celebrini put a stop to an eight-game losing streak and attacked the tampa bay lightning. sharks hung on and won 2-1, quality win. they host another good team, new jersey, saturday afternoon. oh, the leprechaun mascot of notre dame as the irish fought through traffic and weaved through the georgia bulldogs. this is today's

sugar bowl. jayden harrison, his kick return, he ran away with the college football playoff quarterfinal game, 98-yard return. they led by ten at the half, won it 23-10, gained a school best 13-1 record and advanced to play penn state next week in miami in the semifinals. so the top four teams going to the playoffs, oregon, georgia, boise state, and arizona state, have been eliminated. shout out to the eight 49ers, including four starters, named to the nfc pro bowl team, ninth straight year for fullback kyle juszczyk and a special shout out to napa native brock bowers, the raiders rookie, leading all tight ends in receptions and receiving yards and earned his first pro bowl selection. wow, what a story. >> yes. there is something to celebrate at the end of this 9ers season even if it is just that. >> yeah. little postseason honors with one regular season game left. >> vern, thank you so much. the expectations are high

when you stay at a five-star hotel, but even so, some of these guests' requests might seem ridiculous.

catherine depalma: in my lifetime, i did not come to know the lord until i was 43 years old, so i had an entire childhood and adulthood apart from the lord, knowing of god, but not knowing christ, not having a relationship with jesus. there's a lesson that i learned from dr. charles stanley. we think something's too small to bother asking god about, but every little detail of your life you should be checking with him on. so, don't only pray in the dark times, but pray when things are going good. pray to think him, pray to worship him.

we're coming off the holidays. a lot of people traveled over the holidays and the very lucky ones got to stay in a hotel instead of at the in-laws crammed together because we know how that can go, but as far as hotels go, especially over the holidays, they get a lot of weird requests from guests. that happens no matter what time of year, but certainly during the holidays it's kind of a thing. cbs news recently talked to some of the top hotel concierges in the country about how they are expected to make magic happen. guests asking where to eat, that's kind of customary, dry cleaning, shoe shining, not too bad, but then hotels get requests like this. >> i had a guest who asked me to arrange a private igloo on a rooftop of a famous bar and

club, but he wanted a real life elf, santa's helper, to suddenly arrive and surprise his family. >> that guy had his crusts cut off probably for many years. i can't imagine who would think that that would be okay to ask. >> high maintenance, yeah. >> that was a request that came into the mandarin oriental hotel in new york city and they said after lots and lots of phone calls they somehow made it happen. other requests over the holidays, help with an elaborate plan to pop the question. >> the idea was to have a falcon deliver the engagement ring in the hot air balloon. >> oh, that was the idea? >> but why? >> yeah, right. during the rehearsal the bird flew away. >> good. >> the actual engagement went according to plan, good. >> bird's going to just go bird, you know. >> i know. i'm not into those sort
