officials say, the police department was not able to find a safe venue, so the event remains cancelled. however the berkeley college republicans say, ann coulter is still coming to speak in berkeley on april 27th. the location will be announced at a later date ( steve ) the coulter cancellation may bring up memories of what happened when alt-right activist milo yiannopoulos was suppose to speak at u-c berkeley in february. his speech never happened because protests turned violent. we saw debris being thrown at police, fires, even barricades being tosses. some of the group broke off and tore through downtown berkeley, doing considerable damage. ( steve ) and just this past weekend... we saw numerous arrests and people get injured during a rally that was billed as being in support of president trump.

this is the second time we have seen this sort of violence around one of these rallies. at least 20 people were arrested at this one. a protest in march is still being investigated and berkeley police are looking for at least three suspects involved in that riot. ( steve ) authorities need help tonight in the east bay with a child molestation case. the contra costa sheriff's office says j-b yancy is currently being held on several charges. but, they suspect there be more victims out there. yancy has lived in vallejo, richmond and fairfield. the case that led to his arrest happened in north richmond and investigators say he approached the victim in public. (pam) the rush is on to try and stabilize a large landslide near an east bay retirement community. this is what it looks like from above. this video from our helicopter partnership with abc seven. it is all happening in pinole off of appian way. back in february, the road linking the bay park retirement residence to a buddhist temple.. started to

sink. at first it was a small crack, but then the ground gave way. the retirement home has closed off several sections in the back.. as a precaution. city officials are keeping an eye on the landslide. as for the exact cause - that is being investigated. east bay mud had a line in the area that is now ruptured. crews say, ground water undermined the integrity of the road allowing it to sink .... samples are being examined to try and figure out

a fix. a live look outside right now...(pam) let's get our first look at the weather with chief meteorologist brittney shipp. .a system will bring light precipitation across the northern portion of the region from this evening into tonight. dry conditions return by tomorrow along with a warming trend into friday as high pressure builds aloft. dry weather looks to persist into the upcoming weekend with temperatures near seasonal averages.

(grant) new video just into the kron4 newsroom from walnut creek. that's where we've been tracking breaking news... a man had been threatening to jump from the platform. bart then powered down that station...including the electrified third rail. here he is...coming down from the ledge... he's been placed on an emergency psychiatric hold. this disruption started around 1:30 today when police were called about an unruly man theratening to hurt himself. trains are now stopping at walnut creek. service is trying to get back to normal

but residual delays persist...thousands of people...waiting in lines for buses and waiting for rides because they could not stop at walnut creek. fresno authorities are describing the man accused of gunning down three white men ... as a 'hate- filled racist'.... who set out this past week, to 'kill as many people as possible.' they say kori muhammad is not only unrepentent-- he's been laughing about what he did.. catherine heenan is here with the latest.. (catherine) authorities say kori muhammad began his killing when he gunned downa security guard at a motel last week.....and when he realized he was wanted.... set out to systematically kill as many white people as he could... photos have now been released of the three men he shot yesterday... mark gassett was shot as he walked away from catholic

charities with a bag of groceries.. zack randalls - the father of a 3- year-old girl - had just started working for pg&e and was on his first ride-along with a crew. and david jackson was a 58-year- old fresno resident....chosen in part becausehe was 'older and heavier.' police say the suspect has talked to them, detailing what he did....often showingonly amusement. the mother of one of the victims - mark gassett talked to reporters today...saying she's heartbroken.... rosie wagner - mother of victim mark gassett he had a heart of gold. he had two beautiful little boys. he was a good-hearted person. chief jerry dyer / fresno police: kori muhammad is a very callused individual. when he was taking our police officers and detectives around to various locations last night and yesterday, as he spoke about the shootings and shooting individuals, he did so in a very callus manner, and in fact laughed multiple times as he described what transpired. there have been

memorials and vigils for the victims...including this one hosted by an interfaith group last night. police say that when they arrested muhammad....he was surrounded by voodoo amulets...meant to ward off evil. he told police he 'respected' them and didn't want to force them to shoot him. pam and steve? (steve on cam) they are not alone but teachers are among those least able to afford a home where they teach. in silicon valley, for example, the starting salary for teachers in the san jose unified school district is about $50-55 thousand dollars. but the median home price in san jose jose is roughly $917,000 dollars. even with 11 years experience, hoover middle school teacherelizalde

mazon is 'priced out' of the market. he bought a home for less than half that in tracy but he's commuting three hours day. the rental picture is not much better. the teachers association agrees with affordable housing activists who say that a six figure salary is needed to rent the average 2-bedroom apartment in much ofsan jose. ( pam ) in half moon

bay... demolition work is beginning on a home that is dangerously close to sliding off a cliff. the building belongs to the california state parks system... and no one has lived in the home for quite some time. crews have gone ahead and cleared out whatever was inside... and cutoff the gas and power lines. this video is from our helicopter partners at a-b- c seven. if all goes as planned... the home will be reduced to rubble and the property cleared out by this weekend. let's take a look outside right now for the current conditions in the bay area...

(steve) kron4's maureen kelly talked to city officials today who are trying a new tactic to try and control the event and the mess it leaves behind. what you see behind me is part of a massive fence that is surrounding hippie hill and sharon meadow.....it's part of a plan cooked up by the city and some local merchants who

are trying to organize this pot party in order to keep it mellow.an estimated 15 thousand people turn up at this event every year.and this is video of just a fraction of the trash that they leave behind.the clean up and extra staff needed to police this unsanctioned shindig costs the city more than a hundred thousand dollars every year. the merchants have raised more money to add portopotties, the fencing and security who are going to be at entrances enforcing some rules....no one under 18 will be allowed in side....neither will booze or glass.....and that applys to bongs as well as bottles. people won't be allowed to sell drugs....but doing them....well that's another matter.it is what it is. we can't stop the people, we're talking over 15,000 people. we can't stop everyone from smoking pot. technically smoking in the park is illegal but we realize that this event as i said is going to happen whether we want it to happen or not and its irresponsible to do nothing and that's with this effort is about doing something and being realistic

about what we should be focusing our energy on. the opinions of those hanging out at hippie hill on 4-19 were mixed .negative negative negative negative dude. like why? it wasn't like this last year so why you do it now. we've asking the city to put porter potties out and put more garbage cans out. they complain about the mass that's made it for 20 but they did nothing to alleviate it and now they're finally doing it which is a good thing. the city says they plan to start shutting this event down at 6p....and after the crowd and the smoke clear out...city crews will get work on cleaning up.maureen kelly kron4 news.
