passed away. both students were found saturday night at a residence on brookwood drive. although they may have thought they were ingesting cocaine. earlier in the day, two other teenagers were also hospitalized. >> and it is in weed, it's like anything honestly. it's just so scary. >> reporter: a 21-year-old man named ramon nunez was arrested on sunday on charges of second-degree homicide and furnishing narcotics to a minor. they found distinctive packaging on him linking him to the two overdose deaths. april santos says logan was a great student with a great core group of friends. >> it's devastating. there are no words to describe a loss like this, let alone for the family. my heart goes out to them because i cannot imagine this loss. the students on campus, that's a lifelong friend, their

peer they had planned to walk across the stage with. it's really hard. >> reporter: the district is offering extra grief counseling at both schools and a therapy dog named gemma was on hand. gemma can sense when students are suffering in silence. >> she will go to the person that doesn't want to talk, that is having a really hard time. and i'm going to sit with you. >> reporter: back at santa rosa high, she hopes it is a wake up call that her fellow students will take seriously. >> and even smoking weed, you need to be cautious. the you can't trust any of these people that are selling to keep them locked up. he's a murderer. >> police have not officially released the names of those that suffered overdoses. encouraging

parents to have open conversations with your children about the extreme risk of fentanyl contaminated drugs. >> and according to the cdc, overdose deaths have been trending down across the u.s. they fell 17% between july of 2023 and july of 2024. before that, they decreased 4% nationally between 2022 and 2023. but in that same time period, some states reported an increase in overdose deaths including our state, california. but you can see in yellow there. that's where the overdose deaths fell. experts say awareness and overdose reversal drugs have helped. they credit medicines that treat abuse disorder. in san francisco, mayor daniel lurie has made tackling fentanyl a priority. earlier this month, he declared a fentanyl state of emergency and fast tracking a facility to help people with addiction and mental health issues. >> to those who are struggling,

help is on the way. we are plugging in place solutions that will reach you and give you the second chance you deserve. >> well, the city is aiming to open that facility in the tenderloin come april. the deadline has passed for federal workers to tell elon musk what they did last week or lose their jobs allegedly. office of personal management sent an e-mail over the weekend, demanding employees respond with the list of five things they did over the past week. if they didn't, elon musk said non-response would be taken as a resignation. they cannot address this outside their agency. telling their workers not to respond. >> and what is really interesting is this e-mail has created some decent from within, where you have different agencies and departments,

replying in different ways. of course, if something comes down, they want it to be that all departments will follow that. >> and in a post on x today after they were optional. and they will be given another chance and failure to respond will result in termination. to federal cuts over the weekend where someone hung an upside down flag at yosemite. they're among those out of a job. >> and that is what's going to happen and that no one will be there to pick up the trash and toilet paper, all the stuff, so you don't have to see. >> and there may be some changes now, where they plan to restore at least 50 jobs to help

a sad state. >> reporter: tuesday, the city council will vote on whether to allow large format at four downtown city owned sites. the centers for performing arts, the convention center, and two garages. they're a part of the coalition of residents that are called no digital billboard san jose. they have a list of why the billboards are a bad idea including no benefit to local businesses, disruptions to wildlife, and energy and climate issues. another big concern for opponents, public safety behind the wheel. they're worried these ads will distract people's eyes from the road. >> the billboards are designed to distract drivers without doing that. they serve no purpose and they generate no revenue. >> reporter: the mayor is in support of the new billboards despite voting against them as recently as 2022. he believes it will contribute to safety and revenue. we are not just installing screens. we are creating a more connected

vibrant downtown. these digital displays will provide direct economic benefits to the tune of tens of millions of dollars, and they will make us safer. research shows these well lit spaces can significantly reduce crime rates. city staff estimates a guaranteed minimum of $20 million from the proposal. it would be a ten year commitment with the orange barrel media and two five-year extension options. district three city council candidate and current matt mahan staffer is imploring the city council to do it the majority of what they want. >> and we need to get deeply connected with the neighbors who have been expressing their disapproval at some time. >> reporter: the city would receive 15% for free. the rest sold to advertisers. he hopes he won't see it happen. >> and i'm concerned this will be one of the aggressive policy

changes in a long time. >> reporter: and these four large digital billboards will be the first of many. while they agree a minimum of $21.5 million for san jose, city economic officials project just over $37.5 million of revenue over the next 20 years. a bay area dad just won a big prize. a very big prize. >> and it is just a special moment. >> how the game show helped him bring home $10 million and where that money is going next. seeing a little bit of fog. we will be tracking that momentarily and some warmer temperatures as well. not that today is really cool, but we will be closer. 10 degrees above normal this week. we'll track how long it will last. and don't be surprised if you find them thrown in here. why the toilets will be on the range this spring in one
