( justine ) a big story tonight:republican efforts to repeal and áimmediately replace obamacare have failed. ( steve ) but the challenge of coming up with a healthcare bill continues. kron 4's washington correspondent brie jackson talked with senators about what's next for american's healthcare. track: it's been a long fought battle over healthcare on capitol hill. for now, republicans are admitting

(steve/ on cam)it is a burglary that sounds like something out of a hollywood movie. a pair of theives come up with an elaborate scheme to break into a cellphone store in the south bay(justine) they got in...got out...and almost got away.kron4's haaziq madyun has the story burglars use the roof top to gain access to this verizon store in cupertino, definitely not something you see everyday

glennnon/santa clara county sheriff's office: "cut a hole in the ceiling, dropped down, using power tools, they were able to cut through a metal door and get into the inventory storage room">once inside the burglars stole 189-electronic devices valued at over $130-thousand dollars. the suspects made sure the store's surveillance cameras did not catch them coming or going

indicate that this was occurring">a short time later dupties conducted a traffic stop of a car filled with electronics in san jose that led to the arrests of 40- year-old san jose reisdent tan nguyen and 38-year-old marc tran of american canyon

down the street. kimel says in recent years, coyote's have become more bold, attacking and killing cats in the ingleside neighborhood and now her dog. she also says it appears the coyote's are not afraid of humans. jodi kimel/witnessed attack- "i think the time has come where they are just interfering too much in our normal everyday life."(justine) san francisco animal care and control says there may be as many as 100 coyotes living in the city. people started to report seeing them in the area more than a decade ago. however, animal care and control says kimel's suggestion to round them all up and either relocate or euthanize them ....is not a viable option.
