( robin )happening today... there will be an increased police presence at california high school for a second day in a row. that's because of an online threat investigators believe came from somewhere in europe. wednesday, san ramon police and the fbi received a report about an anonymous message posted online threatening the east bay high school campus. no suspect has been identified, and although the post was anonymous, the fbi has been able to link the i-p address to europe. in a

letter to parents, school administrators are thanking the person who came forward to report the post. they are reminding the community "if you see something, or know something, say something." ( robin )a couple in their 70's was attacked inside their san francisco home in the middle of the night. police have not caught the person responsible. kron 4's justine waldman has the story. sot that is very concerning i did not know that happeneda couple in their 70's was beaten inside their home.this attack in the middle of the night.. happened on ramsell street in the southern part of the city.sot this neighborhood was bad like 20 years ago but it has been getting better but to hear that happen is kinda scarysf police tell kron 4 news on wednesday just before midnight..someone broke into a home through the garage and attacked the two people who live inside.sot the male victim while he was in the shower stuck him several times in the face and head causing injuries and also struck the female victim the wife who was in bed she woke up to the suspect striking her in the facethe elderly couple called 911.and then went to the hopital.police are trying to determine if this was a random

or targetted assault.sot it appears nothing was stolen but that is still part of the investigationas police review cameras in the area..some neighbors have lost their sense of security..sot makes you think about getting a security system that is for sure, we got a dog but not a big one ( robin )new this morning... police have arrested 42- year-old mark edward jacobson. he's accused of stabbing a 70-year-old woman. officers got a call tuesday morning about a woman screaming for help. they found the woman suffering from a stab wound. jacobson now faces an attempted murder charge. ( robin )two senior care homes in santa rosa lose their license.. after a state investigation found that they

failed to protect their residents during last year's north bay fires. kron 4's hermela aregawi spoke to the attorney who represents the residents families. in a rare move, the california department of social services revokes the licenses of two senior care homes.state investigators found that administrators endangered the very people they were supposed to protect during last year's northbay fires.kathryn stebner/attorney for families they were not prepared for it. and everything that could have gone wrong went wrong oakmont senior living care facility in villa capri burned down in the fire.while the varenna location still has residents living there.after a year long investigation.. the california department of social services wrote a scathing document stating that the faciliies abandoned their residents in the fire.that if weren't for their families who came to pick them up.. more than 20 residents would have died. kathryn stebner/attorney for

families there's not enough staff and they don't know what to do. and there's an evacuation binder that no one looked at. and so these women basically had to make it up as they went along.the document paints a shockingly dysfunctional picture. nvestigators say staff couldn't find keys to emergency vehicles.. they couldn't get residents downstairs.and eventually.. administrators left with a few residents in their cars.. and essentially didn't follow-up with who they left behind. kathryn stebner/attorney for families in my opinion this would have happened at other facilities.. having done these cases for over 30 years.. i knew that a facility such as this was not going to be ready for something like what happened up in sonoma county. there is not enough people. there's not enough trained staff. and the focus of all of these types of facilities is to put money into the building, to make the places pretty..but not people put money into resident safety.

( robin )the attorney for the families tells kron 4 there are not enough regulations for these types of facilities. she says the requirements for evacuation preparations and emergency protocol are just weak... and these cases could now change the way senior facilities are ran. ( robin )a wildfire burning in shasta county continues to grow in size this morning. the delta fire... it is burning along both sides of interstate five north of redding. as of right now the massive fire has burned 22- thousand acres and is zero percent contained. i-5 remains close in both directions from the fawndale exit approximately 10 miles north of redding to mount shasta at mott road. many homes in the area are threatened... and evacuations orders are in effect for parts of shasta county... trinity county and siskiyou county. more than 12-hundred firefighters are working to contorl the raging wildfire.

( robin )cal- fire has already burned through its budget for fighting fires this year. now the agency is requesting more money to make it through this intense wildfire season. this is the earliest request in 11 years. cal fire started out this year with 439-million this year with 439-million dollars... they have spent most of that, and only have 11-million dollars left. right now... they're asking for an additional 234- million dollars to continue battling fires burning in california. if the request gets approved and it does not carry them through the year cal fire leaders say, they'll have to ask for more money. ( robin )california's insurance commissioner says, victims of the state's two largest wildfires this year, have filed more than 10- thousand claims so far. those claims total 845-million dollars. officials say, the two fires damaged or

( robin )it's been six weeks since the mendocino complex fire erupted into the largest wildfire in california history. this morning... we have an exclusive look at some of what was lost - and some of the lessons being learned from the tragedy. among the losses... a more than six decade old... university of california research center. but as kron4's sara stinson shows us - that devastating loss may help stop the spread of future wildfires. reporter intro:

immediately turned around because embers were already about to fall right above me."> when the river fire - involved in the mendocino complex - started to burn out of control on july 27th - it was headed right for the u-c hopland research and extension center.that's when the center's director john bailey started to evacuate residents and various animals along the property.the u-c research center has been tucked away in the foothills of mendocino county for over 65 years.and the river fire ended up burning about 2/3 of the center's nearly 54-hundred acres.

what the effects on watersheds on wildfire, what species of plants regenerate the best, how do grazing processes have a role in fire management."> u-c researchers can ánowáuse the data they've been collecting here for over six decades and compare it to the current condition of the land. reporter tag: ( robin )you can track california's fire season at kron-4 dot com. there you can find a special fire danger section with an interactive map of the state. as well as current conditions. and always stay connected on breaking news with our free mobile app. (robin)coming up on the kron 4 morning news ... a little league in the south bay is dealing with major problems ... from indecent exposure, to human waste and even drug use. now organizers are fed
