think i can process what's going on. and people forced out during the palisades fire are finally getting to see the damage left behind. and rats with wings or the perfect pet? it depends on who you ask. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> hi, i'm sara donchey. we start tonight in san francisco where community members are pulling together to support a local dispensary owner who was rushed to the hospital after being shot near his store. this happened in the city's mid-market neighborhood. those close to him say martin olive has been no stranger to adversity in his life. our kelsi thorud has more. >> reporter: richard says he was working behind the counter at all star cafe monday night when gunshots rang out. >> everybody thought it was
11:02 pm
fireworks. everybody's turning around, looking. after that everybody just ducked, you know, because it just kept going. >> reporter: richard says after that cops flooded the area. >> we saw like ten cop cars pull up. and they were all just posted up around the perimeter waiting. >> reporter: richard says he quickly closed up his shop and got out of there. it wasn't until later he learned the man who was shot was the owner of the dispensary across the street. >> he's a very respectful dude. he's cool. he'll talk to you if you're smoking in there. sometimes he would smoke with us. >> reporter: jason gray says that man is martin olive, the owner of the vapor room. >> martin is one of the wittiest, like most clever people i've ever known. and he doesn't deserve what happened to him. >> reporter: jason told me he's known martin for close to 20 years. they met in the lower
11:03 pm
hait when jason gave martin a tattoo. >> we became very close, like brothers. >> reporter: since that time, jason moved up to oregon with his family. he says martin has had a tough two. the original location of the vapor room shut down in 2012, then about ten years ago, martin had a brain aneurysm. >> and that almost killed him. and now for this to happen as well is just -- it's very crushing. >> reporter: richard says martin is now recovering in the hospital. he says friends have been sending video updates and even through this martin seems to be taking it in stride. >> he had to get stitches around his chin and he's still making jokes. >> reporter: still, jason knows the road to recovery will be a long one for martin. he started a fundraiser that has raised $55,000 and counting. >> and to see that that many
11:04 pm
people have donated, there's a sense of love and a sense of community and so it got me pretty emotional. >> reporter: even richard, who's only met martin a few times, says he could sense he was special. now all he's hoping for is to see martin back across the street soon. >> if it was one person who would want -- who would help to make a change over here, he was really quick, if there was a petition to change something, he was the first one there. many, many hopes and prayers to that man. the debate about how to approach crime in alameda county led to a very high profile recall of the district attorney. and now a couple months of pamela price was voted off the job, we finally know who is next in line. tonight county supervisors appointed judge ursula jones dickson to the job.
11:05 pm
she's been with the alameda county superior court for a decade. one woman is hoping to get justice for her brother, gunned down in 2019. she supported jones dickinson, but she wants a d.a. who listens to the people. >> accountability, yes, number one, but a district attorney that listens to the people, to really hear us out. because this whole time under the previous district attorney we weren't heard. clearly. and so we had to put forth this recall to get her out and do the new district attorney thing and we're hoping that it works out. >> she'll begin the job next week and will last all the way through 2026 when the seat is up for election. all seven candidates indicated they would run. a planned federal funding freeze is now on hold until monday. a judge temporarily
11:06 pm
blocked the move from the trump administration. it would have paused federal grants and loans, putting a freeze on trillions of dollars. the trump administration said the freeze targeted programs that did not comply with the president's executive orders on immigration, foreign aid, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. programs like social security and medicare would be exempt, but thousands of organizations are still worried about how or if they would be affected. as our kara st. cyr reports, the freeze could impact how some people are able to eat. >> we have plenty of vegetables, which i love. >> reporter: after her diagnosis, rosalyn relies on meals for wheel to blend food for her feeding tube. >> it's been nerve racking. a lot of seniors who have worked very hard before they retired, their budgets are cut short. they need assistance. >> reporter: the trump administration released a two-page memo monday night
11:07 pm
issuing a freeze on federal assistance, plunging hundreds of other agencies into a state of confusion. meals on wheels san francisco, which relies on a monthly $250,000 grant, is now stuck in limbo. >> when we first learned of the memo and started reaching out then to try to seek clarification, and then as the day went on today things got more confusing rather than less. >> reporter: the white house press secretary expanded on the memo saying the freeze would only affect funding for dei, the green new deal, and so-called woke programs. >> social security benefits, medicare benefits, food stamp, assistance that is going directly to individuals will not be impacted by this pause. >> reporter: but patrick murphy, a professor of public affairs and politics, says the clarification is still too vague. >> there was no end point given on this. there was no, don't worry, by february such and such date this will all be wrapped
11:08 pm
up, there was nothing like that. >> reporter: murphy says the impacts will be felt everywhere. >> it doesn't save money. it wastes money. we know that. it's like a government shutdown. government shutdowns cost money. think of anything where you stop it and start it up again. so it doesn't do that. >> reporter: in the meantime, meals on wheels has safeguards in place to protect people like rosalyn. >> we would have started to fundraise immediately and mobilize to meet that need, because it's just not an option. >> around the bay area today high school students joined hundreds of people down in san jose showing solidarity with the immigrant community in a march against the trump administration's threat of mass deportations. >> no justice, no peace. no justice, no peace. >> overfelt high school students led the walkout, holding signs and chanting as they marched through the streets. >> my goal here is to show the community they're not alone. i.c.e. is not welcome in san
11:09 pm
jose or the united states. >> san jose matt mahan and an immigrants rights group confirmed at least two i.c.e. operations have happened in the city of san jose so far this week. leaders in san francisco are doubling down on the city's designation as a sanctuary city. they joined community activists to say they are ready to stand up against the trump administration's vow to increase immigration enforcement. city officials say they are doing everything they can to protect the immigrant community alongside local law enforcement. >> the purpose of sanctuary laws has been to protect public safety. when immigrant families trust law enforcement, victims and witnesses come forward. criminals are arrested, crimes are solved, and we know what happens when the opposite is true. >> well, as part of those remarks, immigration enforcement is a federal responsibility and not a local or state responsibility. more people are getting their first look at all of the damage from the palisades fire and seeing what is left of their
11:10 pm
homes. >> it's special. it's a sort of a sublime feeling, right? it's such a scary thing to see all of this, but it's really sort of beautiful in a way. >> the return to some of these decimated neighborhoods as families are sorting through the ash. some altadena restaurant owners are worried they may not be able to survive the rebuilding process after the eaton fire. their message to the community. calm weather across the bay area today. our view from the mark hopkins hotel just before 5:30 captured that sunset and the fog rolling away from the coast. a lot more of that tonight and early tomorrow. we'll track that and the next rain chance headed our way in first alert weather. >> paul, thank you. move over cats and dogs, why more people are trying to take home pigeons.

it's pretty hard to imagine that people who lost their homes in the palisades fire have not been allowed to go back and see what is left until today. the fire destroyed more than 6,800 structures and killed 12 people. today was the first opportunity a lot of people had to go back and try and comb through whatever was left of their property. >> it's nice. you know, it's hard to sort of, you know, look at this. but it's nice to find those little things that, you know, at one point didn't mean so much. you know, plates are
11:14 pm
plates, but now they're memory to look back on and see the house where we were for my whole life. >> today as a lot of those mandatory evacuation orders were lifted, the cleanup itself is creating its own hazards and problems. the epa has been on hand to help with that part of the process. they're using the land near irwindale to store hazardous materials, at least temporarily. there is still concern about toxins seeping into ground water and seeping into the ocean. one local group is keeping a close eye on that. >> you can already see in our sample there's a bunch of sediments in here. as you look down at the water, you can see there's ash, residue, and things like that. and all up along the beaches we're seeing a bunch of things from houses popping up. there's metal. there's glass. >> heal the bay tested water at the beach before and after the
11:15 pm
weekend rain in southern california. their results won't come back for a few weeks. governor newsom announced a major new initiatives for fire victims. magic johnson and others are participating in the fund. the dodgers are giving up to $100 million to the cause. >> don't forget about altadena. don't forget that community . generations that had an opportunity, that built wealth, grandparents, kids, and grandkids. . >> and as people return to what's left of their homes in altadena, business owners are wondering what's next for them too. some restaurants near the fire zone that are still standing are now hurting. lots of regulars and some employees have been forced from their homes, and they are worried about surviving until business
11:16 pm
picks up again. >> that thought, you know, was a source of real anxiety. you know, kind of understanding how this is going to be a lengthy process getting folks back on their feet. >> we're here for people to come and sit and have a glass of wine and talk and enjoy and have a little refuge from the craziness. >> cbs news bay area is hosting an insta-thon, and you still have time to take part and donate. we're partnering with the american red cross to help people impacted by the wildfires. make a donation by visiting our instagram page. first alert meteorologist jessica burch shows us how it works. >> hey, everyone, so we're doing an insta-thon our our instagram right now so you can donate and help out with the american red cross with the situations that happen in southern california right now. a lot of people need help. i want to show you on stain our instagram page how to do this. click on that first photo. then click on fundraising for american red cross. at that point you'll click the

11:18 pm
perspective here. i'll bring the real big picture perspective up and talk about where the storm system is coming from that. swirl of clouds is going to be directing an atmospheric river towards the west coast. it still looks like the strongest atmospheric river conditions are going to be aimed towards the north coast of california. that's where this can rank from an ar -- shifting that trend just a little bit farther to the south, closer to more of the bay area. so this might be an event that produces a little bit more rain the for bay area, even farther to the south where it was looking like the amounts would be very, very limited. we'll get into all of that. let's talk about how things are going to shape up in the short term as we head through tonight, tomorrow, and thursday. for the moment, looking at the cloud cover and a little bit of fog making its way away from the coast. temperatures have been cooling down mostly into the 40s. down to 37 degrees in santa rosa. as that cloud cover continues to spread out, it's going to limit how far temperatures drop. a chilly start to the day tomorrow but not an overly cold start. the
11:19 pm
fog is going to become widespread. fog and low cloud cover. might not be fog at ground level. still seeing fairly gray skies across most of the bay area to begin the day on wednesday and give yourself a couple extra minutes on the way out the door if you typically have a reduced visibility issue to contend with on foggy mornings, that could slow you down a little bit. the fog could retreat to the coast by midday. and temperatures will warm up to normal for this time of year. that's cooler than we've been recently because of the influence of that fog, especially along the coast where highs reach the low 50s tomorrow afternoon. where the fog holds on a little longer, temperatures reach up into the middle to upper portions of the 50s in the north bay valleys into the upper 50s a little closer to 60 degrees where the fog dissipates a bit faster, east of the oakland hills and in the santa clara valley where temperatures are more likely to get around to or above 60 degrees. all of these numbers are within three degrees on either side of average. a similar trend to the forecast again on thursday. and then we get to talk about the approach of that next chance of rain on friday. let's check out
11:20 pm
futurecast. we'll start the clock at 4:00 thursday when the clouds are just going to be starting to increase over the bay area. first showers start to move in as the sun is coming up on friday. we'll see light to moderate rain showers at first. this is the very latest forecast model guidance, which does bring the rain farther to the south compared to earlier model runs. there's a phrase in forecasting that goes the trend is your friend. just means that whenever something is trending in a certain direction, probably want to buy into that. we do think there's a better chance of a few hundredths to around 0.1 an inch of rain. there's going to be more shower activity friday night into saturday. this going to be another system that brings in the potential for maybe an inch of rain in the north bay valleys, but there's more to come. these are the rainfall estimates for the next seven days. when you total it up on the low end of things, we're talking about barely more than 0.5 an inch for san jose through next tuesday, but this will be coming at us in different waves. in general, an inch to two inches of total rainfall with higher amounts for the north bay
11:21 pm
where the rain will be steadier and heavier, 2.5 to 4 plus inches of rain possible throughout that course of the next seven days. we'll keep you updated on all of that as we get into this more active weather pattern still a couple days away. a couple days of dry weather tomorrow and thursday, and then the rain starts to move in. we'll call rain likely friday into saturday. sunday looks like the drier half of the weekend. still flexible with outdoor plans. and then another wave of rain late monday into tuesday of next week. again, it's what we need, because we've fallen behind the pace of what we should be to this point in the rainy season. this is definitely going to help. >> we're catching up, paul, thank you. music's biggest night is right around the corner and the bay area is very well represented. oakland's own kaylany is up for three nominations. up for best progressive r&b album, best r&b song, and best mel oddic rap performance. in 2017 we asked the artist about her own town. >> think oakland taught me that
11:22 pm
i can never compromise who i am. never compromise my heart. never compromise my soul. never forget where i came from. and i think oakland has a knack for that. i think the entire bay area has just so much heart. >> now touring in europe performing her grammy-nominated album. she's fly back just in time to attend the grammys. and you can watch the grammys live on cbs news bay area. it all starts at 5:00 p.m. on sunday. you can watch it at kpix or stream it on paramount+, vern? straight ahead in sports, what a birthday present for a warriors great. speaking of warriors, was it the 17 made threes? the rebounds? the moment when they just did not blink at crunch time? all of the above and more where the best shooter of the game is seen in street clothes. touches of black.
