big truck loads of diapers arrive at the helping a mother out warehouse. >> in oakland. i like that name help sic such a needed service is great to see her stepping up like that 100% or so many mothers that need that help. we all need a little bit of making sure we're being safe in the coming days as we've got some red flag warnings across the bay dave spahr is going to take a look at exactly what we where we need to be aware of day. >> okay. good well, mardy, good morning, also warming up to and we're seeing some of those affected ice blue skies to get things started. don't worry too much about the fog going on today, tomorrow we feel those inland temperatures also pop into the 90's as well. but this is going to be dry air in the big issue here is much better coverage than we saw last go around talking to be contained just in solano county. looking at the big map. you can get an idea. we're all the red is what's not in this is and we've heard about this last go around in the summer. you remember the santa cruz mountains

technically not in this doesn't extend that far southwest. but you can see all this east bay coverage. we're looking at east bay hills points, east solano county, the familiar suspect there, but also getting coverage in the north bay here, higher elevations of napa sonoma and are in. this is all going to going on until 6 monday morning looking at the winds here. we can see the coverage area getting to the east bay there with most of the arrows pointing due north coming in from the north or a little bit out of the northwest again peninsula somewhat insulated because enough water around that the weather service feels at this point not to issue a new thing for them. when you see the humidity patterns, you'll see it will become very, very clear on that front. so we get into this afternoon and boy, we drop out of the sky bone dry. you can see all of the east bay there goes right to almost the shoreline solano county, napa county. all of the single digits for relative humidity and even down here to mount and you look at 11 only places like half moon, bay are spared. even san francisco gets down to about 33% or so

recovery. now here's the point. we do get that humidity back again, as you will see on the east bay shoreline peninsula's good coverage. but not too much inland. a lot of times. we'll see this whole map is going to be green and it spills in the sacramento valley from the delta not this go around. and again tomorrow drying out in the normal areas off to the east bay solano county in north bay. again, the peninsula somewhat relatively spared hopefully by that point, by monday morning, we can finally put this to rest. and here is the so-called recovery into your monday morning. so we got that red flag warning in place warm and dry 80's for much of the bay couple areas will pop into the 90's. touch cooler. not as warm. we'll call it tomorrow. just chipping off at a just a little bit there. you're hardly notice it. then next week. so it's like a fake out early next week away. we go with more 90's to be had monday into tuesday. another heat spike coming our way with a gradual relaxing towards the end of the week. all responsible for this nice big dose of high pressure providing that offshore flow.

remember the flow pattern we get from highs lows, go in the other direction today us to 75 san francisco 82 for oakland 82 also for san jose. boy, do we have the orange in cow today. look at all that coverage, the delta, the east bay all well in the upper 80's again might see some locations pop at about 90 or so. we'll take a closer inspection of that in your 4 zone forecast, marty. all right, dave, thanks a lot. let's get to a developing story this morning, a large chinese rocket is falling back to earth right now. >> it's expected to crash land in a few hours. but the big question is where will it land. the pentagon says an exact location. >> cannot be pinpointed until within hours of its re entry. the rocket blasted off from china last week as part of a mission to complete a chinese space station. >> and officials with chinese space agency. they're saying it's not a real big threat and will mostly burn up as it re-enters the atmosphere so far. they say there are no plans to shoot it down by the military. back here in

each of attempted murder assault with a deadly weapon and elder abuse. the deputy public defender representing him asked the public to hold their judgment while the facts are gathered. i want to be clear that this is not a hate crime. >> there's no evidence to support a hate crime. we know is that mister thompson was suffering from a mental health crisis and the psychiatric be hospitalized immediately after this incident outside activists yelled at the district attorney, do your job. i absolutely share your outrage this case is outrageous. the violence. >> that the elders and our chinese community are experiencing is sickening and we must do a better job as a city to keep our community safe on the dia says thompson seen here in an earlier booking photo faces the possibility of life in prison. >> those who showed up to protest say they've had enough of asian americans and pacific islanders being attacked. the lely. this all you hear is people getting shot getting pushed to death. >> people getting stabbed. this is this is not the san francisco that i grew up and i want my san francisco back.

in the bay area got a warning from the usgs shakealert system for an earthquake that happened nearly 200 miles away and that alert may seem unnecessary for quake happening so far away. but a usgs scientist explains. >> why. it's actually good thing we got that alert. kron four's haaziq madyun explains.

>> thursday's 4.7 earthquake centered near the town of truckee triggered the usgs earthquake early-warning shakealert system daly city resident and tony obama fate as he was concerned to receive an alarm about an earthquake is far away as truckee. >> yeah. so i was sitting at the kitchen table eating dinner. and all this and my watch started going off and make made a very funny in a warming south. i think last night was a success. it shows that the system is up and running. >> robert de groot is one of the early warning system coordinators here at the united states geological survey in pasadena. he explains why it's not unusual for people to receive messages from the shake alert system from a great distance. the shake alert system has to move very, very quickly. >> and it was relying on seismic station that was in a very rural and rugged area to get its information. and so initially, what the system thought it was a magnitude 6 earthquake. rather what

happened instead is it was a magnitude 4.7 and so if you have a bigger earthquake. more people that went into getting alerted. so it's likely that more people receive the alerts. the should have. but. that's actually in some ways better than people not getting an alert when they should have right. and the idea is getting an alert with potentially allow people to practice protected action such as drop cover and hold on. so it just it kind of provides an opportunity for for people to learn how to use the system better. this daly city resident says that explanation works for it was definitely something that kind of alarming. but i'm happy that it worked. >> haaziq madyun kron 4 news. >> so if you're looking for the latest up today. quake information. all you have to do is scan the qr code that's on your screen and it will take. we take you directly to our quake page and it's filled with resources. so just scanned the image that you see

>> welcome back. 7.44 here on this saturday morning and fire

season has been starting earlier and earlier with little rain and dry fuel. many are fearing another rash of record breaking wildfires for this year. so a lot of people are asking what can we do to stop this cycle. some say we might have to start small richard sharp shows us why firefighting drones might be one solution. >> a fire detecting drone spots most fun to take too another drone liftoff. >> it quickly finds the fire and dropped chemical into the flames, putting them out. a successful test. but this fire small right. every wildfire start small. and if you could only get there fast enough. you have a shot. >> at solving the problem mets will brody is one of the man behind the rain system. it's a network of drones that can spot fires when they are small and put them out or dramatically, slow them down until the firefighters can get their video as of one or 2 jones. >> but it could be multiple drones go to the same location that once exactly it when it's

actually deployed. >> there is a network of these drones throughout a region that all respond to an ignition. it's not a traditional firefighting tool, but many believe it's past time to think outside the box particular has seen record set in broken in less than 12 months time. mcneil is the fire chief in dixon and has almost 30 years of firefighting under his belt. we need new tools. we need to embrace whatever technology is out there. chief mcneil like the rain system because it's adaptable. any region, any fuel type. any terrain. i thought you would ask us, for example, brody punches. the numbers for sacramento square miles fuel type fog ruffian more. i estimate the order southwest of hits that there be around 16 drones to contain at any ignition within approximately 8 minutes in the foothills of the sierra that equation would be different. some areas will need more drones. others less. every fire engine isn't the same. we specialize the equipment to

the job at hand. the aircraft is the same. even the type of fire suppression agent. the drone would carry could be different. we are moving towards an ultra-high pressure liquid solution, retardant currently it's a key to activate a dry chemical now it's important to know macneil nor bowdie think drones could replace firefighters on the frontlines. >> that they just might be able to help those firefighters before they get to the fire line. any ignition is never more than a couple of minutes away. >> very cool. it's like a great idea. i that was richard sharp repor%ing for us this morning. i think, you know, the safety aspect we're talking about, you know, usually they send firefighters up in the helicopters are smoke. it's you know, scary situation. so being able to stop something before it gets to that level is fantastic. it's fantastic idea. let's hope that they start to work on a little bit. my first question is who's going to fly all these drones hit the big time. yeah, but logistics story for another has go ahead. get the weather forecast and a spar. heidi.

it's a i'm already going to feed in the i say this is what we need is we the another offshore wind event happening here. this go around, though. it's covering a lot more geography. a lot of the east bay's included in that including those north bay hills too. >> only area. not really impacted technically is the peninsula just because of those close proximity to water all around in the santa clara valley. for the most part. now we'll show you the winds in just a bit. but the beauty shot to get things started sfo looking at blue skies at that temperatures in the 50's. have 68 on the antioch. now we do have dry air sure. but a lot of this of, you know, moving around in the air there. winds and so forth helps keep the temperatures support a little bit overnight checking things with tahoe. hey, look at this. nice warm up 6671 by tuesday. can you say melting going on. so hopefully we'll be able to take some extra water and send it off to some reservoirs start store. that stuff. all right. here's our offshore wind. you can see it really connected up here on the delta

get your spring on at ross. yes! with brand-name looks at prices that say it's on. yeah, it is! get this season's styles for you... ...and you... and you... with the best bargains ever... ...at ross. yes for less!

coming our way. so you get a little flavor summer come in the next couple of days here to do a little. >> curse of taste of that before we cool back off again and with addition of spring, maybe some showers in the following weekend. let's hope sfo. we have some blue skies off in the background. there are the numbers for you. the 50's pretty much restricted around the immediate bay, even vallejo jumping ahead at 6371 antioch of livermore still 57 long with pleasanton. you can see. all right. so for tahoe in the next couple of days. 66 monday. tuesday at 70. that's the heat spike. they're going to feel that melting hopefully will. so that water in the reservoirs going off the store. some of that here, the offshore winds that we have. you can see the geography pretty much expected off to the east bay a little bit of a coastal breeze happening at half moon bay in san francisco. that will keep temperatures suppressed a little bit and that's why the santa cruz mountains are not in the red flag warning north. the peninsula sets. but the only area the bait not directly impacted anywhere. this is what i was mentioning. it's kind of exciting to see this. but and sometimes we get

teased by this. but by the end of this week in the following weekend. things thicken up in. but we have some moisture out to sea here. hopefully would be nice just to get some passing showers here moisten up the ground level here a little bit checking things out. your 4 zone forecast. the saturday we'll see about 75 going on san francisco. so a little bit of influence from the offshore flow pattern, but down south more 60's at the immediate coast. half moon bay at 62 usually with an offshore when those numbers will pop too. lower 70's going on along the bay shoreline of the peninsula to the south. the 80's start to pop up here. 82 redwood city also palo alto in mountain view, santa clara valley approaching middle 80's here. morgan hill about 86. we've got to be for for santa clara. 84 also cupertino. look at this in the east bay shoreline you've got lower to middle 80's. don't forget with an offshore wind comes over the east bay hills. a little bit of compression happens here along the east bay shoreline as it comes over your head behind you now overnight. sometimes you a little bit of a breeze. so

that will cool temperatures back off increase the humidity levels a little bit. but today san leandro 85 pretty much the same of the east bay hills just drier upper 80's to be found. maybe a 19 year. they're hiding out that we see that in vacaville and also fairfield 87 going on for napa and sonoma and 88 for santa rosa with more of those lower to middle 80's down south 70 forecast. here's the heat spike early into next week. it's back to the lower 90's dropping to the 70's by the end of this week maybe we'll get some rain showers out of that 70's and for the bay and we'll go actually in the 50's as we approach the coached. let's get to a developing story this morning, a large chinese rocket is plummeting back to earth. right now. it's expected to crash land on earth in a cup and a few hours. maybe tonight. yeah. the big question everyone is wondering where will this thing land. the pentagon says an exact location isn't going to able to be pinpointed. >> until within hours of its re entry. so joining us now to

give us a better idea about what exactly is going on up there in space is the director of mission operations over at the u c berkeley space sciences lab be d, thank you so much for joining us. a lot of the articles that i'm seeing are kind of calling this an out of control rocket. is that of fair to say. >> it is actually a fair salute. let me back up and provide you a little bit of so this particular rocket was launched on april 29th out of china. it actually contained is it's a little part of the new chinese space station. so china is attempting to put up the space station much like the ones that the americans europeans and russians of in common. so what is odd concerning about chinese. the chinese space program is that unlike other rocket launchers, especially in the u.s. russia, europe. etcetera, they purposely decided to not put in the time and engineering effort into controlling their first stage reentry. so what

that means is a rocket goes up and it's usually in 2 stages. the first stage is what typically falls back down to earth and the second stage is what takes your payload into orbit, whether it's a space station, the space craft, whatever most rock manufactures. we'll all watch and sectors outside of china. >> engineer into the rocket utility to control the descent and crasheinto the ocean. we're crash it somewhere where they want one purpose china forgo that capability and they said, you know what. we don't have the time and the energy and the to make that effort. we want to go fast. so we're going to design a rocket such that it randomly comes down wherever. i've read that china's space program has been called irresponsible and would you agree with that. >> i mean, i would i mean, this particular launch came out of an island off the coast of so at least that's slightly more responsible in the sense that the comparison is before

they launched many of their rockets from the inland launch site on in the sichuan province. and and this one is very concerning because they're the first stage would randomly land somewhere over a chinese farms or villages. i think some people estimated in the u.s. intelligence community of estimated. >> that perhaps up to a 100 chinese citizens have died over the no, that's not official, of course, because numbers are released. you know, they're the rocket parts. no rain down on on farms and villages. you know, they've definitely made a conscious decision to speed. growth of their space program over safety measures that in the u.s. we take for granted. yeah. so it will be. so you're saying this is happened kind of before, but it's all always kind of fallen over in china. and now this one we're not really necessarily sure exactly where it might land. >> exactly the same rocket actually the same line of rocket launched a few weeks or

months ago. and also of course, came down in control and it luckily mostly came down over the atlantic ocean with some degree ongoing close to the ivory coast. and you know, we may end up having this conversation again several times because there's potentially up to 11 more launches of this beautiful and the upcoming months and years and all of their first stages will have random reentry is just like this. >> i've read that this crash landings expected in sudan around 08:45pm tonight. but give or take 16 hours. is that right. >> it is actually not accurate right it could be that it could be. that's what happens. that here's what i can tell with a little bit of certainty. first of all, let me not bury the lead. any further if any of your viewers are in california. they you know, have a sigh of relief. they will not be in the debris. okay. could to them. we do know is that what we do know is that it is likely that this rocket will re enter between around 04:00pm pacific in around 02:00am pacific

time tonight. the only parts of the u.s. that are still not clear is madge. and if you draw in pencil line between. west texas maryland or new jersey. okay. if you're along that bin pencil line. you're not clear yet. likewise, if you live anywhere from just south of tampa to just north of orlando and you draw in pencil line across florida. you're not yet clear. you could be clear later today, but you're not yet here. those are the only parts of the u.s. that are still have the potential to be in the debris field. that's a lot of area and potentially a lot of people involved. >> it absolutely is there a larger parts of spain. for example, on saudi arabia. india and parts of southeast as a that also have a higher probability. and of course it goes without saying with the population density there is. so i should back up by saying that, you know, there's a very

small chance of this actually gets any populated area. the vast majority of time something like this ends up in ocean just because, you know the earth is primarily ocean. however, if you live in one of those areas that we just mentioned. you definitely don't have a non 0, a possibility something >> and is i mean, it is possible that that this debris burns up before it even enters earth. correct. >> absolutely. so that the rocket we're talking about. it's about 22 metric tons. it's it's likely that by the time it gets through the majority of atmosphere. about half of that are a little bit more than half that will be burned up. but then you still have around on 9 to 10 metric tons of stuff that will not burn up in knots. the degree folks are worried and so, you know, usually we are aware that manifests itself and i witnessed one of these firsthand is that you see a fireball her, you know, on your 5 to 10 seconds. and then after that. >> you see a bunch of smoky

debris raining down like shrapnel on ross, wherever you're brown track its. >> scary haha really is i think you so much for setting us straight and give you some more information on this it is a strange phenomenon. and and it's the first of many as you were saying. >> yeah, absolutely no, i'm i'm happy to explain this further. your viewers. all right. thank you so much.

>> well, here's a great idea. from other states happening tomorrow. the skystar observation wheel at golden gate park is offering free tickets for moms on mother's day so the moms can redeem their free tickets in person tomorrow. what a great way to spend part of the day. i mean, and then you can just roam around the park. you know what a wonderful mother's day to have. all right. hey, stick with us on in the next hour from 4 morning news, a red flag warning is in effect. >> for north and east bay counties. we are live up in managing type 2 diabetes? you're on it. you may think you're doing all you can to manage type 2 diabetes and heart disease but could your medication do more to lower your heart risk? jardiance can reduce the risk of cardiovascular death for adults who also have known heart disease. so, it could help save your life from a heart attack or stroke. and jardiance lowers a1c. jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration, genital yeast or urinary tract infections,

and sudden kidney problems. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. a rare but life-threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this bacterial infection, ketoacidosis or an allergic reaction, and don't take it if you're on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. lower a1c and lower risk of a fatal heart attack? on it with jardiance. we are committed to making jardiance available and affordable. with our savings card, eligible patients pay as little as $10.

a lot earlier this year and we're just taking the steps to be prepared. >> well, firefighters say being proactive by creating defensible space around your home is the best way to protect your home and property from fires in fact, as required by law that all homeowners create at least 100 feet of defensible space. firefighters recommend clearing an area of 30 feet immediately around your home. and then create another 70 feet for a fuel reduction zone. other tips that they have for us include removing plants, beneath trees to get rid of fire ladders and keep weeds and grass to 3 inches. >> we do have an update for you on thursday's explosion at a senior care facility in walnut creek. the contra costa county fire department says it was triggered by a nearby grass fire happened just before 4 o'clock thursday on south main street. the smoke from that building could be seen for miles 6 ad. thankfully, no residents or staff were injured

weekend warm and dry 80's much of the bay tomorrow continue to warm and still breezy early next week. a little heat spike comes our way with some 90's than the rest of the week. we'll spend cooling off and perhaps a shower by next friday or into next weekend. let's hope. but for now it's high pressure that's in control. it gives us the offshore winds have the sinking air a little bit that extra congressional heating the high earlier layers of the atmosphere gives us a little bit of a boost as well. 75 san francisco, even though you're not feeling as much of that offshore wind is the rest. the bay to to oakland and for san jose to we're seeing some of that drier sneak into the santa clara valley too across the wider bay, upper 80's going on to key off to the east bay in the north bay. you can see the encroachment of the oranges. meanwhile, green remaining along the peninsula and a bit. we're going take a look at that. 4 zone forecast and the extended marty. all right, dave, thanks a lot, wolf, of for the first time in the state's recorded history. california's population has actually dropped. >> officials say the state lost over 180,000 residents

>> the issue that mister newsome wants to do is he wants to deflect attention from everything that's being done in the state that's messed up and try to bring in the bitter partisan battles of the past that they're going on in washington, dc where you know what is i'm not going to fall for that. i think the people the state not going fall for that. they're smart enough to figure out that the problems california had nothing to do with washington. they had everything to do with the management. this stay. >> well, you can see that entire interview on inside california tonight at 6.30, or tomorrow at 06:30am, right here on kron. 4. >> still ahead here on the kron 00:00am morning news, a thriller at the coliseum and the great game at oracle park kate rooney joining us with a's and giants highlight after the break.

majestic mountains... scenic coastal highways... fertile farmlands... there's lots to love about california. so put off those chores and use less energy from 4 to 9 pm when less clean energy is available. because that's power down time.

>> and now 4 sports brought to you by xfinity 2 of the best teams in baseball right here. let's start with the giants game. it was a celebratory night at the yard. willie mays, 19 years old and one day his birthday party at oracle park fitting for the greatest height of the mall. a lot from the ballpark indicate cut. >> with help from his godson barry bonds and the team did its best to make the say hey, kid proud posey hits one opposite field over the wall and that made it 2. nothing

giants in the bottom of the 3rd posey that 3.94 right now. well, the giants would add 2 more on evan longoria rbi. come the padres top the 6. it's a 2 run game in eric are ties it up with a 2 run shot to center field. it is for all a four-run inning for san diego. so we go to the bottom of the 7th austin slater at the plate for san francisco. no one else on. that's almost to the exact same spot as buster posey's homerun the go ahead. run for slater and the giants win it 5 to 4. they've got a half game lead on the cardinals atop the national league. hey, you like roller coasters? well, that's what the fans at the oakland coliseum got is host to the rays. pitched a gem. he was perfect 7 innings going until the top of the 8th finished with 10 strikeouts. and how about some offense as well. bottom of the 7th, runner on second. seth brown. it's

through the gap in right center and that would bring home jed lowry. is take a one. nothing lead. we go to the 8th right after minaya allowed his first hit. then this happened. mike zunino rbi single would end night is night and ties the game up for tampa bay. it stayed that way to the bottom of the 9th 2 outs brownies going to be at the plate again and again. he goes yard and the a's win in walk-off fashion. the first walk-off home run of seth brown career and forth walk-off win a's this season. what a great game. half a game out of first place in the american league. well, we also got to give some love to the san jose pulled out an impressive win after trailing one nil, the majority of the game. chris wondolowski, who else came off the bench and scored not once but twice in the 82nd and 87 minutes to shock real salt lake and get them the win. >> for san jose. they are the top team in the western

conference through 4 matches. all right. here's a cool story. finally, even though things are looking up big group indoor gatherings are still so an annual bay area sports auction is pivoting virtual each year. local volunteer organization at the guardsman host a star-studded fundraiser to raise money for boys and girls club and can't mendocino which serves local at risk youth this year. the focus is getting these kids back to their normal in person activities, even though the auction and charity event will all be online. they've lined up some of the biggest names in local sports. take a listen. >> as an offensive lineman. we've had the special olympics kids here 2 years in a row and people are allowed in training camp. and i know from even just a kid that grew up any time that i could be around something that resembled high level football. anything that resembled guys doing things the right way and being at the pinnacle it's an inspiration not just but for us seeing the look on a kid's face. when you

roll out to training camp and they see all these guys coming out shaking hands and and all that stuff. i know what it did for me as a kid. all that it wasn't. it was was like the fire of my dreams even harder. hopefully we can get back to doing the same thing for kids around here in the bay. yeah. hopefully soon the auction is already up and running with prizes like the chance to play video games with her. he most are at how cool is that? >> it's it reactivate the youth dot guardsman,

>> okay. we're counting down to mothers day and it's going to be a lovely day tomorrow. but you want might want to take mom someplace with some water hotter made him make sure to pack the sunscreen may be a sun hat. that would be a nice mother's day gift are trying out this morning. dave spahr has got a little bit more detail. just how warm it really is gonna get tomorrow hey day. definitely the shades too. while you're at it. why not? we're all prepared here. a little flavor of some are coming our way for the weekend and actually in early next week. >> hopefully by the end of all of this may actually see some springtime try to return not just in reduction of temperatures for the onshore wind, but maybe perhaps a few little showers to that would feel kind of nice, get some moisture in the ground level. again. here's what's going the shot from u c berkeley east bay shoreline all lit up. it's actually be pretty warm this afternoon going on there. although you recover a little bit with those humidity levels. a touch. there's the offshore winds in place. you can see good chunk of the north bay in the east bay. all included in this temperatures really start to move already somebody for any oxidant to

valais. whoa. 60's cover the east bay shoreline with some 50's off to the coast. we're ahead by in some cases more than a dozen degrees like napa, for example, than 24 hours ago. there's your red flag warning the coverage area. again, the east bay also looking at a solano county and the north bay for those higher elevations. this will be until 6 monday morning. the breakdown for you today 82 by one by 4.88 some locations may pop in about 90 coming in up in a bit. we'll have that 4 zone forecast for you. well, marty. all right. dave seen a couple minutes. thank you. new this morning, police in san jose have arrested a suspect in connection with a hit and run collision that involved an on-duty police officer. >> 27 year-old jonathan hall of san jose was arrested on suspicion of felony hit and run and driving under the influence. the incident happened a little past midnight on friday on the intersection of some crest avenue and perry lane. >> the officer was in full uniform at the time and that just finished up an unrelated vehicle. stop and was walking back to his patrol car when he

was hit. the officer was left with serious non life threatening injuries. and is recovering this morning. >> breaking overnight. one woman is dead following a fatal shooting in san francisco. it happened in the area for none polk street around one 45 this morning. police have not given any details on the shooting. we're going to keep you updated as more become available. >> and then just a couple of hours later, a shooting in the east bay sent 4 people to the hospital. the victims are 3 men and one woman. the men are all listed in stable condition. this will this morning. the woman is in critical condition. this is video from the citizen app, but it happened about 3.30, this morning near lakeshore avenue on the side of a late alongside the lake merritt the oakland police department offering a reward of up to $20,000 for any information leading to an arrest in the shooting. >> oakland police are also investigating 2 deadly overnight shootings that happened just hours apart as well. police found the first victim friday just after midnight on 55th avenue near

foothill boulevard. police tried to save his life. but he was pronounced dead at the scene. the other shooting happened around 4 on 3rd street near south prescott park. a man also died on scene there. the names of the victims have not yet been released and it's unclear if the 2 shootings are related. >> now to the south bay this morning where police have arrested this man is 41 year-old sunnyvale resident roberto carlos ramirez and arrows in connection with a murder. the victim was found unresponsive late last night in a home depot parking lot on key for road in sunnyvale. he died at the scene. the name of the victim will not be released by authorities until after his family's been notified. has been booked into the santa clara county jail. san francisco police are investigating an officer-involved shooting that injured a man near oracle park. >> it happened friday near the corner of our knee placed on 3rd street. police say they were investigating a car burglary and then spotted, this is just a suspicious vehicle with 3 people inside.

police haven't released many details on exactly what happened, but they do confirm one of the 3 suspects was shot by a police officer. >> the 2 suspects fled in their vehicle away from the scene. officers immediately rendered aid to that suspect was struck by gunfire and some in medics medics arrived on scene and transported that suspect to the hospital for non life threatening injuries. >> well, police have not yet released the names of those in connection with the shooting. san francisco police expected to talk about this incident at a town hall meeting taking place in 10 days. noel. >> well, this man accused of stabbing 2 older asian women on market street was supposed to make his first court appearance yesterday, but he didn't show up. kron four's maureen kelly has the very latest on what happened at the courthouse and new video showing that attack. we do want to warn you some may find it disturbing. >> commuter stand at the bus

stop their backs turned to the danger behind them. the suspect can be seen walking up the huge knife already in his hand when he suddenly stabs the first victim that woman runs off the man then terms and looms over the second victim and strikes again, a very brave good samaritan pulls the second victim away and she falls to the ground suspect, then walks away. police arrested 54 year-old patrick thompson a short time later. friday after thompson apparently refused to appear in court to face 2 charges each of attempted murder assault with a deadly weapon and elder abuse. the deputy public defender representing him asked the public to hold their judgment while the facts are gathered. i want to be clear that this is not a hate crime. >> there's no evidence to support a hate crime. we know is that mister thompson was suffering from a mental health crisis and the psychiatric hospitalized immediately after this incident outside activists yelled at the district attorney, do your job. i absolutely share your outrage this case is outrageous. the violence.

>> that the elders and our chinese community are experiencing is sickening and we must do a better job as a city to keep our community the dia says thompson seen here in an earlier booking photo faces the possibility of life in prison. >> those who showed up to protest say they've had enough of asian americans and pacific islanders being attacked. the lely. this all you hear is people getting shot getting pushed to death. >> people getting stabbed. this is this is not the san francisco that i grew up and i want my san francisco back. >> the victims in this case which includes 85 year-old grandmother chewy remain hospitalized. a person who's been supporting them says they are shaken scared and their sense of safety has been taken away from 2 very independent and resilient women. >> thompson is being held without bail. his arraignment has been rescheduled for monday morning. maureen kelly. >> kron 4 news. >> miles wanted to live. he wanted to be here and unfortunately his life was taken short and at a system that we trusted.

>> an emotional moment from the mother of miles hall as family and friends rallied outside of walnut creek city hall yesterday. >> the contra costa county district attorney announced on friday that the 2 officers who shot and killed hall back in 2019 will not be facing criminal charges. they say that hall suffered from mental health problems on june second 2019 officers casey. hey, so and. >> melissa murphy were responding to reports of a disturbance at a home. they say they found all running around holding a black steel digging tool when he refused to drop it officers fired for nonlethal rounds and then fired their service weapons. >> the dia says they acted in reasonable self-defence the attorney for hall's family attorney for hall's family says they're disappointed. but fuel change. >> so i think miles case that the forefront of counties looking at these issues. cities looking at these issues and seeing what can be done in order to put in place other kinds of mechanisms. the not

require. a gun. tasers. the definitely the weapons. >> hall's family is now calling for a state and federal review of the case. >> to some coronavirus news. now the cdc says more than a 3rd of americans are fully vaccinated against coronavirus new federal data shows nearly 111 million americans are now fully vaccinated. >> and more than 150 million partially vaccinated. california has administered more doses than any other state across the country. the latest numbers show 43% of our state's population is fully vaccinated. another 18% have gotten at least one dose. marty. >> san francisco is heading into its first weekend in the yellow tier. now, earlier this week it was announced that bars can partially reopen indoors without having to serve food. now some bar owners say not having to provide the food option helps them out. they're also, of

course, very happy to bring customers back inside. in i think a lot of missus smiles the facial. >> it's fresh and it's that warm feeling when you just knock back a few you become socially loose. i feel that i'm slipping back into the old ways of socializing it's it's a great release. >> san francisco right now is the only county in the bay area in the yellow tier. it's the final stage of the phase reopening plan. in fact, the state is aiming to fully reopen the economy on june 15th. >> fire season has been starting earlier and earlier and little rain and dry fuel. many are fearing another rash of record breaking wildfires for this year and so many of us are wondering what can we do to stop this cycle. now some say we might have to start small richard sharp

shows us why firefighting drones might be one solution. >> a fire detecting drone spots. most fun to take too another drone liftoff. >> it quickly finds the fire and dropped chemical into the flames, putting them out. a successful test. but this fire small right. every wildfire start small. and if you could only get there fast enough. >> you have a shot at solving the problem. maxwell brody is one of the man behind the rain system. it's a network of drones that can spot fires when they are small and put them out or dramatically, slow them down until the firefighters can get their video as of one or 2 jones. >> but it could be multiple drones go to the same location. it wants exactly it when it's actually deployed. >> there is a network of these drones throughout a region that all respond to an ignition. it's not a traditional firefighting tool, but many believe it's past time to think outside the box

in the last 5 years in particular has has seen record set in broken in less than 12 months. todd mcneal is the fire chief in dixon and has almost 30 years of firefighting under his belt. we need new tools. we need to embrace whatever technology is out there. chief mcneil like the rain system because it's adaptable. any region, any fuel type. any terrain. i thought you ask us, for example, brody punches. the numbers for sacramento square miles fuel type ruffian more. i estimate the order southwest of hits that there be 16 drones to contain at any ignition within approximately 8 minutes in the foothills of the sierra that equation would be different. some areas will need more drones. others less. every fire engine isn't the same. we specialize the equipment to the job at hand. the aircraft is the same. even the type of fire suppression agent. the drone would carry could be different. we are moving towards an ultra-high pressure liquid solution, retardant currently it's a key to activate a dry chemical now it's important to know macneil

nor bowdie think drones could replace firefighters on the frontlines. >> that they just might be able to help those firefighters before they get to the fire line. any ignition is never more than a couple of minutes away. >> and we're looking at a red flag warning going on for today. meanwhile, temperatures pushing well of the business of the upper 80's to near about 90 comi so you went to ross and saved big on shoes? oh, yeah! and snagged “yes, please” brands at “no way” prices. hurry in for fresh styles for the whole fam...

good morning, everybody. we are dealing with a very dry scenario going on today and tomorrow. you're noticing it more today, though. but. >> those offshore winds will be with us all weekend long, beautiful shots that we get. here's a cellphone. no delays happening this morning and upstream. there's a little bit of a hope. it's kind of a tease but a little bit of a hope we might get some, although not a lot. maybe some light rain showers by the end of next week. now and they fall in the weekend like that. but at help moisten up the lower levels of the atmosphere that's something we could certainly do. let's go check out our maps. if we could. thank temperatures check in right now in the 60's and the 70's. we got the 70's up here in the north bay 74 for antioch. livermore comes in at 66. now this is early in the morning. but these numbers really started to move. we didn't start from a very low point to begin with because of the air circulating around the lot 66 for monday, tuesday at 70. we've got some melting going on up there. but this is what i was talking about. get to the end of the weekend. things look kind of interesting, maybe some showers into next weekend. we could certainly use that. now

there's a little chance, maybe a bit. we'll see as we start to get a little closer zip in your 4 zone forecast checking out 75 san francisco 67 daly city, half moon bay at 62. we'll do some 70's along the bay side of the peninsula, upper 80's to the south. now palo alto mountain view in redwood city. all about 82 mid-eighties or approaching that for much of the south bay. but because of those offshore winds during the day. east bay shoreline warming up to the lower to middle 80's tri valley upper 80's 88 going on for walnut creek 89 for concord and 75 to check in for ballet. 93 have it for a vacaville and also fairfield 87 for napa rose and we'll do some of those 80's heading down south. now we have a heat spike early next week. it looks like so return to some wore those 90's. but on the flip side, as we finish off the week temperatures fall. hey, we get an onshore wind and also maybe a little chance in spring showers. let's hope.

let's get to a developing story this morning, a large chinese rocket is plummeting back to earth. right now. it's expected to crash land on earth and a cut in a few hours. maybe tonight. yeah. the big question everyone is wondering where will this thing land. the pentagon says an exact location isn't going to able to be pinpointed until within hours of its re entry. so joining us now to. >> give us a better idea about what exactly is going on up there in space is the director of mission operations over at the u c berkeley space sciences lab be d, thank you so much for joining us. a lot of the articles that i'm seeing are kind of calling this an out of control rocket. is that of fair to say. >> it is actually a fair salute. let me back up and provide you a little bit of context. so this particular rocket was launched on april 29th out of china. it actually contained is it's a little part of the new chinese space station. so china is attempting to put up the space station much like the ones that the americans europeans

and in common. so what is odd and in concerning about chinese. the chinese space program is that unlike other rocket launchers, especially in the u.s. russia, europe. etcetera, they purposely decided to not put in the time and engineering effort into controlling their first stage reentry. so what that means is a rocket goes up and it's usually in 2 stages. the first stage is what typically falls back down to earth and the second stage is what takes your payload into orbit, whether it's a space station space, craft, whatever most rock manufacturers will all walk and sectors outside of china. >> engineer into th rocket. you believe you to control the descent and crashed into the ocean. we're crash it somewhere where they want one purpose china forgo that capability and they said, you know what, we don't have the time and the energy and the to make that effort. we want to go fast. so we're going to design a rocket such that it randomly comes down wherever.

i've read that china's space program has been called irresponsible and would you agree with that. >> i mean, i would do. i mean, this particular launch came out of an island off the coast of china. so at least that slightly more responsible in the sense that the comparison is before they launched many of their rockets from inland launch site on in the sichuan province. and and this one is very concerning because they're the first stage would randomly land somewhere over a chinese farms or villages. i think some people estimated in the u.s. intelligence community of estimated. >> that perhaps up to a 100 chinese citizens have died over the no, that's not official, of course, because numbers are released. you know, they're the rocket parts. no rain down on on farms and villages. you know, they've definitely made a conscious decision to growth of their space program over

safety measures that in the u.s. we take for granted. yeah. >> so it's ok, so you're saying this is happened kind of before, but it's all always kind of fallen over in china. and now this one we're not really necessarily sure exactly where it might land. >> exactly the same rocket actually the same line of rocket launched a few weeks or months ago. and also of course, came down in control and it luckily mostly came down over the atlantic ocean with some degree. i'm going close ivory and you know, we may end up having this conversation again several times because there's potentially up to 11 more launches of this beautiful and the upcoming months and years and all of their first stages will have random reentry is just like this. >> i've read that this crash landings expected in sudan around 08:45pm tonight. but give or take 16 hours. is that right. >> it is actually noaccurate right it could be that it could be. that's what happens. that here's what i can tell with a little bit of

certainty. first of all, let me not bury the lead. any further if any of your viewers are in california. they you know, have a sigh of relief that they will not be in the debris. okay. good to know. you do know is that what we do know is that it is likely that this rocket will re enter between around 04:00pm pacific time around 02:00am pacific time tonight. the only parts of the u.s. that are still not clear is madge. and if you draw in pencil line between. west texas maryland or new jersey. okay. if you're along that bin pencil line. you're not clear yet. likewise, if you live anywhere from just south of tampa to just north of orlando and you draw in pencil line across florida. you're not yet clear. you could be clear later today, but you're not yet there. those are the only parts of the u.s. that are still have the potential to be in the debris field. that's a lot of area and potentially a lot of people involved.

>> it absolutely is there a larger parts of spain, for example, on saudi arabia. india and parts of southeast asia that also have a higher probability. and of course it goes without saying with the population density there is. so i should back up by saying that, you know, there's a very small chance of this actually hits any populated area. the vast majority of time something like this ends up in ocean just because, you know, the earth is primarily ocean. however, if you live in one of those areas that we just mentioned. you definitely don't have a non 0, a possibility something >> and is i mean, it is possible that that this debris burns up before it even enters earth. correct. >> absolutely. so that the rocket we're talking about. it's about 22 metric tons. it's it's likely that by the time it gets through the majority of atmosphere. about half of that are a little bit more than half that will be burned up. but then you still

have around on 9 to 10 metric tons of stuff that will not burn up in knots. the degree folks are worried and so, you know, usually we are aware that manifests itself an eye witness. one of these firsthand is that you see a fireball her, you know, on your 5 to 10 seconds. and then after that. >> you see a bunch of smoky debris raining down like shrapnel ross. wherever your brand tactics. >> scary. haha really is i think you so much for setting us straight and give you some more information on this it is a strange phenomenon. and and it's the first of many as you were saying. >> yeah, absolutely no, i'm i'm happy to explain this further to your viewers. all further to your viewers. all right. thank you so much. at chewy, we know walks are made better with our furry friends. and we're here to make those walks easy.
