it's good for both home and battle. governor newsome was quick to push back saying, quote, the fact that this judge compared ar 15 a weapon of war that's used on the battlefield to a swiss army knife completely undermines the credibility of this decision and it's a slap in the face of the families who've lost loved ones to this weapon end quote. >> now to the latest on the pandemic ahead of the state's full reopening cal osha has decided employees still have to wear masks inside work places unless every person in the room is vaccinated. meanwhile, outdoors vaccinated workers do not have to wear masks infectious disease specialist doctor peter chin-hong agrees with the decision he says cal osha is focusing on what is safest for the employee and not necessarily what makes the most sense for the business. >> we want to protect the most vulnerable workers. and i think to that end it makes sense that still outbreaks happening in the workplace. i think many of these outbreaks,

authorities had warned san jose police for the gunman's troubled past kron four's haaziq madyun has the story. >> first of all, there's many mechanisms by which we share information between local law enforcement and our federal partners. we have telephones. we have e-mail. we have relationships with one another and none of those resources were used by the department of homeland security. >> to inform santa clara county law enforcement that samuel cassidy the alleged eta shooter was detained by the feds back in 2016. >> santa clara county district attorney jeff rosen says it would have been useful to at least have been contacted about the basics. why was mister cassidy stop? what was the reason for that. what was found. >> and then why did she share that with local police. the da says what concerns him most is what was reportedly in cassidy's possession when he was detained look, i i'm concerned about an individual who has of books about terrorism is so angry at their

co-workers that they're writing it down, not typing that but taking a pen to paper and writing down how angry they are now. that's not a crime. that's not a crime to do those but it's certainly something that for a d a for a police chief would be of interest. this information comes to light in the wake of learning that law enforcement found an arsenal of weapons and ammunition in cassidy's home. >> weapons. he may not have legally been able to obtain it settles. a police were given a heads up from the feds about him being stopped in 2016. one thing i can say is. >> had certain information been shared with local law enforcement. there would have been a response. the police would have conducted some kind of investigation. whatever talk to some neighbors or co-workers. what talk to mister cassidy, what what that have led to. we'll never know.

>> 5 years later, 9 valley transportation authority employees were gunned down. samuel cassidy takes his own life. santa clara county district attorney jeff rosen is taking action to prevent the possibility of another tragedy is not about blame because the ultimate responsibility for the mass shooting is sam cassidy's. what i'm doing is trying to prevent the next cassidy from committing another mass murder. >> has made kron 4 news. >> south bay state senator josh becker says he's working to raise $20,000 for the families of the 9 victims of the vta mass shooting. the senator says he's also re committed to enacting gun control legislation at the state level. in a statement he says, quote, we must do all we can to aid the families of those slain and we must or at most to stop the gun violence. he goes on to call it an epidemic and says there's absolutely no good reason for people to possess high capacity magazines. the gunman in the attack did use high

capacity magazines that violated california law. on kron 4 dot com. we do have a section dedicated to that mass shooting. you can use your phone to scan this qr code. it will take you directly to that website. we have several stories there, including those profiling. the 9 lives lost were posting the very latest updates on the investigation as well and how vta service has been impacted during this time. >> fremont police are seen an increase in jewelry snatching robberies officers there have responded to 4 types of these robberies in the past 2 weeks alone. they happened on or so drive jamestown road. all of avenue and near all of avenue and mckay road. police say 3 of the 4 victims are elderly one as old as 96 in all of the incidents, the victims were either walking alone or in front of their home sometime before noon. >> yes. one of the incidents, suspects just simply began asking for directions and

asked the victim if they if he can pull up directions on his cell that that given the opportunity to get close to that particular victim and the other incidents they are actually same thing about it being their and they would like to give the victim a gift. i really it just seems like the way it was described from the victims of that. they're they're causing confusion and they're talking very quickly. and then, you know, all of a sudden they have just swapped out their jewelry and you know, within a few seconds are gone. >> well, police have these tips to stay safe. they say walk with another person. so you're not alone. and also avoid wearing jewelry when you're out on walks and we'll be right back.

gilbert baker flag. each color has a meaning hot pink stands for sexuality, red for life. >> orange for healing yellow for the sun green for nature, turquoise for art indigo for harmony and violet for spirit. >> well, that was kron four's. ella sogomonian reporting for us this morning. and you can find more pride month stories on kron. 4 dot com. all you have to do is used to get a scan. this code on your screen. we'll be right back. go

everybody. welcome back. 7.44 was turning out to be a really nice looking saturday morning. yeah, the sun came up right around. i want to say like 5.45 and it hasn't stopped being gorgeous for us to i think day was mentioning the fact it's going wake up before 6, pretty for the next week or so. yeah, that's the earliest time that it comes up until the next saturday. it will be no, that's not the first day of summer. now. but minutes of daylight continue to go on until june 20th. that's our big day for the first day of summer. >> nights are going to be a reverse of the sunset will be a little bit later. later as we get into early july 2, here's a shot from temper on as we can see, beautiful sunshine and mixing a way that fog pretty quickly this morning. as you can see, by the way, we talk about little drop in temperatures going on delayed. it will be up to tahoe from this upper 70's going on for tomorrow down to 61 by tuesday. still remaining mostly sunny with all of this

but will be cool down and you'll notice that here across the bay to we have mid 50's across most of the board 66 for antioch. 5556 49 at the santa rosa and 55 for san jose. so later today is the micro-climate start warming up. you know, we got inland spots will be looking at the 80's going on today. so little drive some winds but a change of the guard happening as we get into early next week as a precursor to that, we'll get those stronger on shore. winds, of course, don't bite into that fog for your monday morning. early in the week. again, look for temperatures to fall a little bit and that will be repeated into next weekend. the next we can gets more interesting first of all, before we get there. yeah, it will be on shore kind flow pattern. we're familiar with all from last week, too. then as we get to the latter portion of the week. yeah. that's interesting. now these models sometimes change as we get, you know, closer and so forth. not try to teach anything like that. but this is something worth hopeful weather. let's hope this holds together here for next weekend. these get a shot of rain. maybe the timing is not

perfect. but you know, we'll take it. 58 1 on your 4 zone forecast. san francisco at the coast. we're keeping a quite cool, though. lower 50's. again, those winds coming in from the coast. meanwhile, the bay side. okay. some lower 60's going on here in the we pop quickly to the 70's down south 75 palo alto 67 mountain view, though redwood city about 74 santa clara valley. most readings here in the lower 70's still 73 for san jose 75 cupertino milpitas at about 74. it's kind of cool. summer day. 74 fremont upper 60's on the east bay shoreline warming up a touch. the tri valley. but 82 livermore there looks but 81 for walnut creek concord checks in at 84 again. back to 60's for the east bay shoreline. so you have your thermal gradient here from those inland valleys it will drive the onshore winds 87 for fairfield sonoma. about 8081 santa rosa and 70's heading down south. so little drop in temperatures as we start early next week might see some scattered clouds with all of that kind of breezy conditions. so it's almost

thank you much. >> kron four's. always been my favorite station. i'm not just saying that 36 years i tune into it, marty. i don't know if you've been on my press was for that long. but i will do is pretty pretty close we want to talk about. and first of all, congratulations on your on your book award. we understand it's being called by the critics. the gave de vinci code. tell us about it. i'm bo, thanks very much. it's a mystery thriller set in order to get to and the 2 main characters are 2 young men from san francisco. i don't know where i off and well know author tells the city called in a look at twisty thriller and 7 johnson also francisco offer guggenheim called to gauge code a lot better and it is the best-selling both my publisher case press has ever had. and it just one of ben franklin silver medal from the independent book publishers association. so i'm i'm pretty

dark. >> as you should talk to us a little bit about the inspiration for this book. obviously just that. it's about 2 men in san francisco where to get that idea. but the how long did it take to write and talk about your inspiration here. >> well, real quickly in 2014. my husband when i lost our 4 best friends. rapid succession their caregivers. and we did something that i always wanted to do took 3 months off turn by pure this is someone and a house swap with friends in a little town get leach. army will top near rome and the day we got there, i heard about true story of a young priest or a candidate for the priesthood ish had been one week away from being ordained and it was rumored that he was and the vatican stopped. his ordination and he was so distraught. he threw himself from the cliffs and killed himself. this is a true it really touched me and really angered me and the more time i

spent learning about the real story i realized i had to turn this into art so that is the true story of the mystery upon this rock is based upon this true story, the suicide of a young priest candidate or is it suicide. so it's a mystery thriller, but this time not like that when man series with a man and wife detective couple. this is a man and man has been and has been detected come interesting that has fascinated yeah, i like that. >> book was let's switch gears. just a little bit. let's talk about pride month fan and your impact on pride here in san and specifically the rainbow on our walk. how did that come about? >> when you have the thanks very much for mentioned. am the founder of the rainfall or walk or remember in 1994 the worst of the 8 years. i know everyone remembers i was walking on castro and see all the signs pitchers amends with car composting. start coma and apartments for rent. because men have and left them punch.

i said we need to preserve this moment in history that came up with the idea for a walk of fame. and like so many things the san francisco, it took many years to come to fruition. but in 2000, 14, the first plaques relate. and right now you can go to the castro in. see over 30 plaques dedicated to lgbtq heroes and heroines. 3 foot by 3 foot bronze plaques. all volunteer. all the money raised for these plaques. and each one costs. about $5,000 were raised privately. and you can work more rainfall on the wall. dot org. that's absolutely beautiful. you know, that's just one way that we've seen san francisco kind of change and evolve over the years. how else have you seen the city change and evolve in terms of acceptance in the community. >> i'm optimistic. and even during the aids, i knew that we would get through this. but do get through it because we got to missile a lot of men and lesbians. members of the bisexual transgender community, but also our

straight allies you realize that san francisco is an example. how humanity really should be a number arms to mop and things sets him. francis was perfect, but it shows you how perfect might be easy. even during our worst days like during covid the last year and a half has been terrible. there's a sense of pride in the sense of optimism and can't do us in san francisco. so i don't think we changed our bad us. i think just that every challenge we get in san francisco shows us more how we can be resilient and shows that we can be an example to the whole world. mayor london breed before any other city said covid is an emergency. we need to lock down a lot of people gave her a hard time for but i remember i spoke to her yesterday at glbt historical society with the ritual. raible's like payback and she was so proud to acknowledge that san francisco led the way in the fight against covid. so i don't think we've changed. i think we just got better. yeah. >> david will said thank you
