counties from late today through sunday. warming and drying will occur across the north beginning tomorrow and in all other areas monday into tuesday. cooler weather returns by the middle of next week. ( marty ) we are learning more about a police shooting in sonoma county. it happened early friday morning in cotati. investigators say it all started when
7:31 am
several fights broke out as bars in downtown were closing. cotati police requested backup from sonoma state university campus police... there was a report of a man fighting with a woman. and when bystanders tried to intervene the man pulled a gun. the suspect took off by the time police arrived. but officers heard gunshots in the distance. a few hours later, a sonoma state officer found a suspect fitting the description. according to investigators, the man was acting aggressively. the officer tased him. but says it did not have an effect. thats when the officer fired his weapon. no word on the suspects condition this morning. ( marty ) the cause of a sinkhole that swallowed a big rig in san francisco remains a mystery this morning. now there are concerns that this scene might be the sign of a bigger problem lurking under city streets. kron four's dan kerman has reaction from the driver that was in the truck and what the city is doing in response. this is what it looks like when a 5 foot deep 10 foot by
7:32 am
20 foot sinkhole swallows up a big rig. it happened about 520 this morning on 7th street near townsend in san francisco i cant believe this happened to methe driver escaped from the drivers door uninjured and the big rig was eventually towed away then the sf puc began looking for a causethe crews dug down 15 feet and found a 3 foot void between the top of the aspalt and the ground underneath it.typically that void is caused because a leaky pipe has washed away the dirt under the roadway but crews found no leaksone o f the reasons they dug down so far was to find any source of water intrustiion, they check the sewer pipe and the water pipe and no leakswhile a leaky pipe may not be the cause of this sinkhole, it remains a common cause especially in a city with aging infrastructure. that's why san francisco has a program in place with a goal of repairing or replacing 15 miles of water pipe and 15 miles of sewer pipe each year. they also have larger projects in the works like here on van ness avenue we are working close with mta and public works to replace the very old sewer and water mains
7:33 am
under the center of van ness. in all van ness project will cover about 4 miles of pipe. ( marty ) ( marty ) we are getting a clearer picture of the tough road ahead for the republican obamacare replacement bill. the new measure passed the house thursday and it will face a serious roadblock in the senate. phil mattingly has the details. trump: "this has really brought the republican party together."president trump and congressional republicans, despite this very public celebration.and this
7:34 am
declarationtrump: "we're going to get this passed through the senate. i feel so confident."are quickly coming to grips with reality: the senate is going to do it's own thing.sen. bill cassidy / (r) louisiana: "well, the senate will write it's own bill. i mean, that's the way it works, right."senate republicans will need at least 50 of the 52 gop senators to sign onto a final bill for it to pass the chamber, but so far many are cold to the very proposal. their house colleagues labored for weeks to squeeze through. already making clear in statements that from the structure of the tax credit, to the sunset of the medicaid expansion, obamacare's regulatory infrastructure - even the bill's defunding of planned parenthood - each major piece will need to be rewritten sen. lamar alexander / (r) tennessee: "there won't be any artificial deadlines we will carefully consider the legislation passed by the house . we will work together carefully to write our own bill . we will make sure we know what our bill costs when we vote on it."top senators from across the party's ideological spectrum...now committed to working groups - an effort, gop aides say, to
7:35 am
reach crucial consensus before publicly moving forward on the bill. the 13 member senate gop working group doesn't include any of the five republican women.but the push and pull inside the party is reminiscent of the fractures that nearly killed the bill in the house. ( marty ) president trump looks to have his itinerary set for his first foreign trip since taking office. he had already planned to attend a nato meeting in belgium and a g-seven meeting in italy later this month. but white house officials say the trip now includes stops in israel, saudi arabia and the vatican.. they say it is part of a strategy to reach out across religions to fight extremism. ( marty ) a suicide note written by aaron hernandez has been released. the letter is written to his fiance, shayanna jenkins. in the letter he wrote -- "i told you
7:36 am
what was coming indirectly!" in another part of the letter, he wrote to her - "you're rich." also released: images of hernandez's bible including the cover and an inside page with a spot of blood on it. hernandez committed suicide april 19th, just days after he was found not guilty for a 20- 12 double murder. he was already serving two life sentences in connection with another coming up... a major warning for people in the bay area as the heat continues to rise we'll have what you need to be on the look out for. next.

an up-close look at the rattlesnake wranglers in action. (nats rattling)the sound can send chills down your spine. and so can trying to shoot video of the most well-known venomous snakes."it's a very busy time right now for rattlesnake removal."that's luis fraser, who has always loved reptiles.after ten years in the military, he had a hard time adjusting to civilian life, so he started his company, rattlesnake removal u-s-a, to feel productive.his wife jenae goes on house calls with him."i think we got one!" friday alone, they caught about a dozen snakes in places all over the east bay, and up into napa.luis says this year's rain means more plants for rodents, which means more snakes will be out hunting them.you could run into rattlers anywhere where humans are right up against wildlife areas."a lot of times we'll get 'em in horse pens, or people with livestock. i do jobs for wineries, for hoas." (nats: rattling)one of those guys is a good four inches around.but just because they're big doesn't always mean they can hurt you."people
7:41 am
mistake this for a rattlesnake -- it's just a gopher snake - because of its pattern, and it actually imitates a rattlesnake."and it's totally harmless.despite what you may have heard about grabbing a snake behind its head so its mouth can't reach you, the frasers think that's a riskier way to go about it. "i've never been bitten. i practice steve irwin's technique, which was tailing the snake - grabbing it by the tail and using a stick."though luis and jenae pulled a snake from one of the yards on this street, neighbors i talked to were happy to reportthey hadn't seen anything slithering around.and they might have been a little glad áthey weren't the ones catching the rope-like reptiles."i guess all the more power to them. it's a job."(looklive tag) "you're probably wondering what they do with those snakes after they catch them. well fraser says they are all humane, so they get permission to re-release them into the wild in state parks. in alamo, spencer blake, kron four news. still ahead. kron four's still ahead. still ahead. kron four's darya folsom put down the scripts and picked up a

the reasons they dug down so far was to find any source of water intrustiion, they check the sewer pipe and the water pipe and no leakswhile a leaky pipe may not be the cause of this sinkhole, it remains a common cause especially in a city with aging infrastructure. that's why san francisco has a program in place with a goal of repairing or replacing 15 miles of water pipe and 15 miles of sewer pipe each year. they also have larger projects in the works like here on van ness avenue we are working close with mta and public works to replace the very old sewer and water mains under the center of van ness. in all van ness project will cover about 4 miles of pipe.
