tori. thank you, steve. it's been another violent night on the streets of oakland. police are searching for suspects in two separate homicides. one was in north oakland. the other was downtown. police say a 24-year-old man was killed outside a t-mobile store on broadway and 12th. around 9:30 last night. investigators say the man was shot during a heated argument with another another man. he died at a local hospital. 90 minutes later there was another shooting at eddie and 34th. officers found a man shot in the head. he died at the scene. investigators do not believe the two killing are connected. ktvu kraig debro joins us now with what the city plans to do this morning in an effort to stem all of this violence. >> reporter: we're at the intersection of 13th and broadway. that's where one of the two homicides took place last

night. now, later today, coming up in about an hour from now -- and you will see that a little later on -- you will be see local, state and federal law enforcement agencies as well as community groups getting together to try to solve the problem, brainstorm, if you will, to solve the violence problem. the city of salinas in monty tray county is going to play a major role. according to stats, salinas has the worst crime rate for a city of its size. since the city has been working with federal law enforcement agencies there's been a dramatic drop in homicides and gang-related homicides. last year, salinas had a record- setting amount of homicides. 29. this year so far -- ten. those involved combine efforts of federal, local and state

agencies working together under "operation knockout." >> we bring the agencies together under one roof with the facilitys that we rent to exchange information and better coordinate the attacking of the gang problem. >> our role was to focus on the transnational organizations, those gangs that originate overseas and basically bring their crime here to the united states. >> reporter: now, despite the two homicides in oakland last night, the homicide rate in oakland has actually dropped. 7% in alameda county. it was cut from 98 to 45. tonight in salinas, they will be considering something else that might continue their efforts and continue the success that you might see seeing up in oakland. >> the city is getting set to authorize office space for a joint operation law enforcement center. there you will see local,

state, federal and community groups getting together under one roof. the attractive thing about that, not only are the eangtses working together to reduce crime. the $3,000 a month rent will be paid for by a grant from the fbi. that would be an attractive offer if oakland could get in on that. in about an hour we'll take you out to the two-day summit. the police chief from oakland will be the one of the first speakers. kraig debro, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you, kraig. 7:05. this morning, police have a new tool to prevent students from skipping school. ktvu's claudine wong joining us live with all of the details of what's happening with that. goodgood morning, claudine. >> reporter: good morning. yes, it's the first day of school here in richmond. and we can see teachers and staff starting to arrive here at kennedy high school. the front doors are open ready for the kids to get here. the kids are getting ready to go to school.

if they are not, those are the kids that they open a new daytime curfew will catch. about 5% of the kids in the west contra costa county school district miss school every day. that equates to about 500 kids. now, they did a crackdown back in march in richmond. in that crackdown over the three days, they found 40000 truant kids. officials say those numbers mean everyone loses. the kids continue get the education, the district won't get the funding. and police will tell you often kids who are not in school are often in trouble. they point to juvenile burglaries here in oakland. so this curfew is meant to address the problem. the kids must be in school, if not, they could be fined up to $500. >> we don't want to see students doing irresponsible behavior. we want to make sure that kids are in class because we need

them to be there so that they will be able to learn. >> reporter: picketing actually won't start until -- ticketing won't start until next month. kids will have to go to a court hearing if they are caught. courts will have to set aside time to deal with these cases. and the richmond league are on board. part of the challenge for police is when they pick up a truant kid it could take hours to process that child. again, live back here at kennedy school in richmond, where the day -- the first day of school is just beginning. we'll try to get reaction from parents and student the about this daytime curfew. we'll check back in with you in a little bit. claudine wong, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you, claudine. 7:07. the city of san carlos approved a budget that eliminates the police department. last night, the city council unanimously approved a budget
