details to follow. now we're also getting word from a police department spokesman that their building also came under fire. the police department building. the spokesperson says suspects possibly set a truck on fire to draw people out of the building. there was the use of a semi- automatic rifle to shoot out in front of the building. again, this is happening near dallas in mckinney, texas. we are taking live pictures from a helicopter. we're not exactly sure what's being shot right now from this camera, whether it's the police department or the college campus. >> itit looks as though that truck bushed or had been set on fire. so everybody knows, mckinney is where the police station is where the truck was set on fire. in another report i med that somebody pulled -- i read that somebody pulled up and started

ring. they are reporting the suspect was shot and killed by return fire from the police. just moments ago police released new information about a deadly shooting in oakland. investigators are calling this a tragic accident. they have now determined that the 15-year-old boy accidentally shot himself in front of his younger brother while at their aunt's house. police say it's unlikely the aunt will face charges in this case. burlingame police say an officer wounded in an officer- involved shooting has died t happened last night near burlingame high school. investigators say the police were forced to shoot the 24- year-old man who threatened them with the knife. and police are reviewing videotape to determine who

original decision was made to give them a chance to look at the issues. they didn't make any comment one wayor the -- one way or the other. >> which is interesting they didn't make any comments. as a professional law professor, tell us how is this case different from what we had prior to 1967 when the supreme court ruled and allowed interracial marriages. >> well, that's a very interesting question because the 967 decision had to do with virginia law that was actually used to criminalize interracial marriage and the couple in that case, a white man and a black woman had actually been told that they had to leave the state. they had to go reside in another state. so the parallel here i think is that the couples who are bringing the challenge are saying, we have a constitutional right that's equal to those. you're not criminalizing.

you can't criminalize our behavior and we don't want to be discriminated against just as that couple didn't want to be discriminated against. >> and then what do you think with this being a state-by- state matter, which it is right now, or will this or should this go all the way to the supreme court oe this is a united, federal decision all over the state. what makes this case different is that by arguing that all state laws have to comply with the united states constitution and treat same-sex couples equally it's making a very different argue that will apply across the board, just like the decision in 1967 applied not just to virginia but to every state. >> i mean, it takes it very difficult for a couple -- you know, a homosexual couple gets

married in one state. they have to transfer a job or whatever and they go to another state and completely different rules apply. >> that's right. and now you have basically a handful of states where this applies and half the country doesn't and people move all the time for jobs and for other personal reasons. >> thank you for joining us. do you think before the end of the year we get a decision? >> i don't. the arguments are not until december. so it will probably take until 20 11 for the decision. >> thank you. ten minutes before 9:00. mcdonald's restaurants around the bay area are looking for hundreds of new workers today. the hamburger chain is holding what it calls a state-wide hiring day. all of the jobs are parttime but anyone who works 20 hours or more a week qualifies for the company's medical benefits. managers will be conducting interviews and hiring at most
