jose at 58 degrees. here's sal. good morning. traffic on 80 westbound looks pretty good getting out to the macarthur maze. no major problems. also this morning's commute is okay in san francisco but there's a crash at 19th avenue. someone is still stuck inside a car believe it or not. we'll tell you more from the scene coming up. now back to the desk. all right. thank you, sal. this morning san jose police have an important warning for people living near the east ridge mall. be on the look out for two dangerous dogs. ktvu's kraig debro joining us now from the san jose neighborhood where this happened. good morning, kraig. >> reporter: good morning, pam. you got the support yesterday early evening late afternoon. didn't have an address. we now believe we know where this happened. not confirmed by police but a look on the ground on that driveway across the street on white sand road here in east san jose tells a pretty convincing story of what happened here yesterday. we talked about it. show you a close up of the bloody scene, but we also wanted to tell the story of a woman attacked by two pit bulls until she started to bleed. police say the unidentified woman was getting into her car

in the driveway of one of the homes here when the dogs attacked. police say two dark gray full bred dogs attacked around 6:20. neighbors heard the woman's screams and came to her aid. the dogs eventually ran off but that was after neighbors started to talk back to them. we talked to a couple people who live here who describe themselves as responsible pit bull owners. >> i'm cautious when i'm walking around with her any way. checking out seeing if there's any loose dogs around and stuff like that. just because sometimes she doesn't get along with other dogs like i said. so i'm always watching out. >> i don't think that it's the pit bull, i think it's always the owner that trains it. >> reporter: now police say the dogs ran off in the southbound direction here. the woman had some major injuries but they're described as non-life threatening. right now it's not clear if the two pit bulls who carried out the attack are strays or have an owner. we called san jose police this

morning to check on the investigation. they now tell us that animal control is in charge. we're going to try to reach someone with animal control later this morning. also going to try to reach the victim of the attack and hopefully some of the people who threw rocks at the dog and saved the woman. reporting live in san jose, kraig debro, ktvu channel 2 news. time now 6:02. also this morning oakland police are still searching for a fourth suspect tied to a deadly officer-involved shooting in oakland. this happened yesterday afternoon in east oakland after a chase on interstate 580. investigators say a car carrying four people crashed into a home on 13th avenue right here. two police officers then shot and killed one of those men during a foot chase. last night ktvu news spoke to miss edwards who said the 19- year-old man killed was her son. miss edwards admits her son had trouble with the law and was on probation. >> for a teenage young man to hang out with his mom, i know,

i know, i know he was trying hard because he was hanging out with me. and any time you get a young man that hangs out with his mom, he's trying to change. >> now police however say the young man who was killed did have a gun. it's still not clear if he pointed the weapon or was -- orthophyred at police officers. police have detained two suspects in this case. another suspect is still on the run this morning. yesterday's incident is the sixth officer-involved shooting in oakland this year. four of those shootings were fatal. oakland police will be holding a news conference about this latest case later today. a man is fighting for his life this morning after being shot in the head and shoved from a car in antioch. police found the victim, a man in his 20s, lying in the street on rock spring way around 5:15 last night. the victim apparently went to the area to meet a group of people. police say he got into the suspect's car, was shot and then pushed out of the car

before the suspect sped away. the victim is now in critical condition. and police are searching for several suspects. now their car is described as a 90s model dark green ford escort with two doors. police are also investigating the victim's relationship with the suspects. if you have any information, please call antioch police. our time now 6:04. an amateur and professional astronomers alike treated to a rare phenomenon up in the skies overnight. but if you missed the total lunar eclipse, we'll take care of you. we have pictures. jade hernandez joining us live in richmond right now with details. good morning, jade. >> reporter: good morning. you're going to have to wait another 80 years to see a total lunar eclipse during the winter solstice but we can show you what you missed overnight. a total lunar eclipse during winter solstice is rare. the earth's shadow completely covers the moon in less than an

hour. the shadow began to fall on the full moon around 9:30 last night and completely covered the moon just before midnight. the earth's shadow remained on the moon like a thick red veil until around 2:00 this morning. this was the first time since 1638 that an eclipse like this occurred on winter solstice. as a result of the solstice, the moon appeared very high in the sky since this is the time when the earth's pack i can't believe tilt is farthest away from the sun. about 200 people gathered at the space and science center last night to catch the magic in the sky. those who gathered last night were lucky since stargazers in europe and asia could only see a partial eclipse. >> just seeing something that doesn't happen every night and especially when it's a full moon, i think it's just going to be pretty amazing. >> we're not really sure actually what like an eclipse is, but we just thought it would be kind of cool to see it. >> reporter: this is an animation provided by nasa of what the eclipse looks like.

now experts say the color of the moon is a result of indirect sunlight still able to pass through the earth's atmosphere which filters out most of the blue colored light leaving the red and orange hues we can see during the eclipse. if you miss the spectacle in the sky during the winter solstice this morning, it won't fall again on a day like this until 2094. and if you want to see next year's lunar eclipse, you will have to travel because it won't be visible from north america. live in richmond, jade hernandez, ktvu channel 2 news. i forgot to set my alarm to get up and watch it. >> me too. >> all right. well, it's a good thing, sal, we have our ktvu news photographers out there getting this for us. >> that's true. that's true. good morning everybody. let's go outside and take a look at traffic which we also have cameras for. westbound 92 at 101 there is a crash there in san mateo. it is causing a little bit of a back up although it's a non- injury crash. couple lanes were blocked

westbound 92 at 101. you might see slow traffic that way. san francisco 19th avenue believe it or not they're still getting someone out of a car. it went off the embankment, very busy intersection. muni also goes by there. it's a good area to avoid. already slow traffic there believe it or not on 19th avenue -- actually it's easy to believe since that street's always slow. let's move along to the westbound bay bridge approach. westbound traffic looks good coming up to the toll plaza. 6:08, let's go to steve. thank you, sir. little different pattern here. the tropical clouds which gave us the possibility of a heavy, heavy, heavy rain has moved south. there have been areas that picked up copious amounts of rain. as that moved south we now see more of a normal wintertime pattern which starlets at 3:38 today by the way. that system right there coming in going to spread a lot of clouds and give us some rain. light rain early. more likely to want. it's also going to split. part of it going north. part going south. there's enough there that we'll get some rain by this evening and taking us into tomorrow.

a quick forecast mostly cloudy today, light rain north bay coast, tonight we'll spread rain in. not a whopper of a system. a break thursday and friday. last system maybe in this series could be saturday. then next week there's no consensus. it looks like things will calm down a little bit. the main part of the system's up here. it's still offshore. for us light rain just goes right along san mateo and santa cruz coastline into the north bay. very light showers there. 40s and 50s. san jose at 50. 43 concord and livermore. one system goes south. clear skies last check in tahoe at 22. there's our system. the key on the backside of this is very strong energy coming down from the north. and the jet stream will have a tendency to dig this. you can see how everything drops straight down. that's going to drive this system down, down, down and then split a little bit. there's enough that it's going to swing in and give us clouds today. mostly cloudy. light rain, coast, north bay until tonight. and there's also possibility of some lightning or thunder. there's a little bit of that going on already offshore.

so i'll mention it. but rain tonight takes us into tomorrow. so today our forecast does have mostly cloudy skies. few sun breaks. mild with a little southerly wind in advance of that some light rain. tomorrow rain cooler. thursday and friday a break. sun and clouds. santa rosa 55. concord 55. oakland 56. go 58 san jose and mountainview. santa cruz 58. redwood city also close at 57 degrees. clouds, light rain today. then tonight cloud it up, bring rain in wednesday. there's your break. dry mostly dry thursday and friday. looks like rain and wind arrives one more time for saturday. all right. time now 6:10. they love to sing, it was just too many of them. an enormous crowd turned up for joyous christmas songs ultimately led to evacuation. a surveillance camera captures a horrifying crime, a car and innocent children heading to school. the u.s. census bureau

releases state population counts this morning. how it could impact your representation in congress coming up as the morning news continues.

the moment you feel run down or achy nip flu-like symptoms in the bud, with oscillococcinum. get oscillo and feel like yourself again. oscillococcinum, nip it in the bud.

we have breaking news. this car ran into a tree, came off of 19th avenue. these are live pictures. looks like a badly damaged car. and the fire department and the police had a heck of a time getting one of the people out.

in fact, it's unclear if that person is still inside the car. again, this is 19th avenue and right now traffic is going to be effected by just a lot of emergency vehicles on the scene. we'll tell you more about this straight ahead. all right. sal, thank you. time now 6:13. the u.s. department of homeland security has reportedly discovered a poison plot by al qaeda. cbs news is reporting that homeland security learned of a plan to poison the salad bars and buffets at american hotels and restaurants. that attack reportedly was to be carried out over a single weekend using two deadly poisons, ricen and cyanide. so far homeland security has not comments. well, in just about two hours from now we'll know the political impact of the 2010 census. the population report will determine how many seats each state gets in the house of representatives. ktvu's allison burns is live in our washington d.c. newsroom with more on whether the census

could effect california. allison. >> reporter: good morning to you, dave. the state population count will impact how many representatives you have here in the u.s. house of representatives. now right now california has more than any other state, 53 representatives in the house, but the state's slower growth over the past few years might mean less representation. >> california had been gaining seats for a number of years. eight seats one decade, seven seats another decade. now for the very first time we may see california not only not gaining a seat, but maybe even losing a seat. >> reporter: that means california might also lose an electoral college vote in the next presidential race. most of the states across the u.s. that are expected to gain seats in congress are republican leaning states. reporting live from washington d.c., allison burns, ktvu channel 2 news.

controversial new rules governing access to the internet are likely to take effect soon. the policy set to be arrived by the fcc today would prevent broad band providers from deciding which online services are given priority down loading. for example, companies such as comcast could not slow down traffic of netflix video. supporters of the so-called net neutrality say without the regulations large companies could buy better down load services forcing smaller companies out of business. well, if you get a social security check, it won't be coming to you by mail much longer. that's because social security payments are going paperless. new social security recipients will have to accept paperless payments starting may 1st of next year. those already on social security will have until march 1, 2013, to make the switch to either direct deposit or a debit card. now that's expected to save taxpayers $1 billion over the next ten years. time now 6:16. a plan to restore the giant

hanger 1 at mofette field may be in jeopardy. that's because a big portion of the funding for it has been lost. nasa announced last month it would spend $20 million to restore it. nasa was also counting on an extra $8 million in a congressional spending bill. that bill was killed in congress last week. it's not clear whether, how or if that money will be replaced to complete the project. u.s. military officials are denying published reports that they want to expand operation raids in pakistan. the new york times says military commanders in afghanistan want to conduct ground raids in neighboring pakistan. it's reportedly part of an effort to rule out militants and could provide an intelligence windfall. but nato's deputy chief says there's no truth to that report. take a look at this. in taiwan a surveillance camera captured a horrifying crime in

progress. police say a suicidal driver intentionally ran over four children outside an elementary school in taipei. the video shows the man then trying to set his car on fire using a gas canister. he suffered burns to his hands and face. and luckily the children ages 6 to 12 were not seriously hurt in that crash. time now 6:17. at&t is doing something that could mean iphone users would soon have better wi-fi connections. at&t says it's spending nearly $2 billion to buy bandwidth from qualcomm. that will allow it to introduce a 4g network next year. now since iphone users are limited to at&t contracts, at least for now, they only have 3g connections. at&t's rival, verizon, started offering 4g service this month. there are reports it could offer iphone service next year. all right. right now 6:18. let's go to sal for a look at traffic this morning. what's going on, sal? we have that crash near

19th avenue. this crash happened about 45 minutes ago. and they still have someone there at the scene that they're trying to get out of the vehicle. and they have someone at san francisco general hospital. again, this is 19th avenue. i want to -- i want our camera man to pull back just to give us kind of a wide view of where this is. again 19th avenue, there it is. there's the station and right there is the other street. this is effecting 19th avenue here. there it is. so you can see that traffic is going to be effected. there's the station. i'm sorry. and there's 19th avenue behind you. there's the corner, there's the body shop. okay. i'm oriented now. there's the gas station at the corner. so, again, this is on basically on the 19th avenue onramp to southbound 280. these cars came off the road and one person is still there. they're trying to get him out.

a very serious crash. let's move along now and take a look at northbound 101. that traffic looks good getting up to the 80 split. and this morning's commute on northbound 280 is moving well getting up to highway 17. 6:19. let's go to steve. sal, thank you, sir. we have mostly cloudy skies. bit of a breeze on the coast and higher elevations. not too bad at the surface but a southeasterly breeze means very mild conditions. if you're in san jose, just looking at the web camera from san jose state's meteorology department kind of cool the moon breaking through the clouds there. it's a cool shot if your there or anywhere poke your head out. one system moves south. next one forming right there. it's going parallel to the coast but it's already producing some rain especially towards the north bay and also right along the san mateo coast, santa cruz coastline. it goes right there. watch the last few frames how the rain is picking up a little bit. scattered. 40s right at 50 for san jose. 43 concord and livermore. we don't have to worry about the tropical clouds anymore.

these are just rain. but this system coming this today will move in tonight and tomorrow. behind that we'll get a break on thursday and also friday. so to start off with 40s to near 50 under mostly cloudy skies. by noon cloudy to mostly cloudy, but mild. 50 to 55. the rain will start to pick up again towards this evening especially in the north bay. upper 50s for a few cloudy skies and then rain moving in. so 55, 54 to 58. that 58 mountainview, sunny vale. san jose, campbell. temperatures will be a little cooler tomorrow with rain. a break thursday, friday. then one more system for sure that moves in on saturday. pam and dave. the world's biggest gas guzzling company may have piqued. after seven decades of mostly uninterrupted growth, demand for gasoline is at a start of a long-term decline. they predict by 2030 americans will use at least 20% less gas than they do today. gas demand usually falls during recessions, but analysts say even with the recovery underway, people are driving

less and demanding more fuel efficient cars. a really great plan to spread some holiday cheer, but a flash mob event promoted on the internet drew so many people to the westfield galleria in roseville the mall had to be evacuated. about 5,000 people packed into this mall. they say they can start hearing strange noises in the walls and the floors creeing and popping. sounded like the foundation might be failing. the society decided to move all of their joyous singing outdoors. well, it is a worst fear realized. family and friends of a woman who disappeared while driving in sonoma county learned her fate as police continue to look for answers. also frightening moments in the broadway musical spiderman, the reason this cast member was rushed to the hospital. e ilrioct e io

we have a rescue going on by the san francisco fire department where two cars went off the road. this is just past 19th avenue

on the way down interstate 280. these trees here right near the park more said -- i'm sorry right near the apartment buildings there. and the fire department is still on the scene with the rescue company there. and a couple of lanes are blocked. so if you get on the 280 from san francisco, there it is. traffic is going to be effected also on 19th avenue trying to make that right turn on the 2 80. again, this is becoming quite the rescue operation. there was still someone down there in a vehicle they're trying to get him out. i think here he comes. we'll keep watching this for you. thank you, sal. the storm that has been moving across the bay area has been pounding the southern part of the state. two days worth of rain is causing creeks to overflow and sending water flowing through homes and forcing evacuations in several counties. some freeways are also closed. now the power of the storm has

decreased in the sierra. take a look at the live picture in truck key. more snow is expected by this afternoon. now you should be prepared to need your chains. take a look at this guy. he's apparently from kansas. he was expecting maybe sunny weather here in california wearing shorts and flip-flops. but he found out he needed chains on his car at blue canyon. right now interstate 80 is open with no restrictions and chains are required on highway 50 between twin bridges and meyers. but the chp warns you should check often because conditions can change very quickly. time now 6:27. we've got a sad update about a story we told you about yesterday morning. it involves a missing southern california woman. that woman's minivan was pulled out of the russian river last night. investigators say her body was still inside. the friends of the 62-year-old reported her missing sunday morning fearing she'd driven off highway 1 and into the river the night before. investigators say alcohol does not appear to be a factor.

now they're investigating whether her minivan had any mechanical issues. more trouble on the set of the broadway musical spiderman. a stunt man playing the spiderman role was hurt last night after falling about 30 feet during a preview performance. firefighters rushed the 31-year- old actor to the hospital from the foxwood theater in manhattan. his injuries are not life threatening. but this is the fourth time a cast member has been injured. the show, the most expensive in broadway history, officially is set to open on february 7th. well, a chase ended with a deadly officer-involved shooting in oakland. a police man hunt connected to this chase continues at this hour. two dangerous dogs still on the loose this morning following a terrifying attack in one bay area neighborhood. ktvu's kraig debro just spoke to the victim. and the opening bell is about to ring on wall street. the reason a san jose company could lead a bit of a rally today. q

these are incredible pictures of a rescue operation going on in san francisco just past 19th avenue. this accident has been there going on an hour now. and the rescue operation continues of a person who was stuck inside another vehicle. not the pickup truck, but another car that's down the embankment just past 19th avenue. so those of you who use 19th avenue and get on the 280, the two right lanes are shut down and they still haven't gotten this person out. pretty heavy rescue operation going on right now. we do have a reporter and crew on the scene. we'll get you more coming up. all right. sal will keep us up to date on all of this and we'll get all the ground reports as well. we will say good morning to

you. thank you for joining us here on the ktvu morning news tuesday december 21st. i'm dave clark. >> good morning. i'm pam cook. time now 6:30. in other news this morning a frightening dog attack led to an urgent warning in one san jose neighborhood. ktvu's kraig debro has just talked to the strict anymore that attack. he's with us now with the very latest on what this victim says. good morning, kraig. >> reporter: good morning, dave. the attack took place on white sand drive in east san jose. this is the house right behind me. half hour ago we showed you the driveway. one of the cars has since pulled off. we just spoke with a woman who was attacked by the two pit bulls. you might have guessed she's in pain and a little scared. susan says she was bitten on the forearm and on her hip among other places. she says she was returning from taking her 14-year-old to a dentist visit yesterday around 6:20 in the evening. the kids were already gone out of the house. she returned to the vehicle to retrieve something she left inside and that's when two gray full bred pit bulls attacked.

>> i looked out -- and i don't know what happened but they come to me. come inside the house. come up to me. >> reporter: are you going to be missing work? she says she was going to the car to try to get something and when she got back the dogs were basically on top of her, wouldn't let her move and started attacking her. right now it's not clear if the two pit bulls are strays or if we have an owner around here. we called san jose police. they say animal control is now in charge of the investigation. they say susan's injuries are major but of course nonlife threatening. they're looking for the two gray pit bulls. we talked to a couple neighbors earlier this morning. nobody's seen the pit bulls before. susan says she may have but she's not sure. right now we're going to try to go talk to the people who threw rocks and scared the dogs away and stopped that attack to see if we can get their account. live in san jose, kraig debro,

ktvu channel 2 news. well, right now police in oakland continue to search for a fourth suspect tied to a deadly officer-involved shooting. ktvu's claudine wong is now at oakland police headquarters for an update. claudine. >> reporter: well, good morning, pam. yes, we're at headquarters where a press conference is expected to happen later today. there are still a lot of questions surrounding this chase, this fatal officer- involved shooting and this one suspect who is still on the run this morning. this all started as a chase yesterday afternoon. police say marked patrol cars tried to stop the vehicle on martin luther king, jr. way because they believed it was involved in a gang-related shooting last friday in west oakland. police say the car sped away on a chase that went on to the 580 and back on the freeway to 35th avenue and finally to 33rd street and 13th avenue where the car crashed into a house. when that car crashed, four men jumped out, one man got away, two were eventually caught and one man was killed. we talked to a mother who says

that man was her son, a 19-year- old. she says he was on probation but also says he was changing his life. >> for a teenage young man to hang out with his mom, i know, i know, i know he was trying hard because he was hanging out with me. and any time you get a young man that hangs out with his mom, he's trying to change. >> reporter: she also says he was home last friday during this alleged gang shooting. now what exactly led up to the officer-involved shooting yesterday is still unclear. but police say he did have a gun. >> that person did have a handgun. and he was shot. he was pronounced dead on the scene. >> reporter: now police confirmed for us this morning that the search for the fourth suspect is continuing at this hour. again, still a lot of questions surrounding this shooting. they have yet to officially release any names and to tell us more details about this chase and these suspects. so we expect a lot of that to happen some time today. we'll continue to stay on the

story and bring you anymore details that we find out coming up on mornings on 2. live in oakland, claudine wong, ktvu channel 2 news. the man accused of killing a community activist in the parking lot of san mateo's hillsdale shopping mall last summer is due in court this morning. the suspect, 58-year-old, reportedly a childhood friend of the man he's accused of murdering. it was six months ago that anti- drug community activist david lewis was gunned down. police arrested him on sunday and the suspect told them he had relevant information about the case. >> in our discussions with him as potentially having information, we determined that there were things that did not sound right about this. >> san mateo's police chief would not confirm if he had confessed to the crime but says they have solid evidence to believe that they have their man. time now 6:36. seven defendants accused in the gang rape of a 16-year-old

richmond high school girl will find out today if they'll be put on trial. their lawyers will make final arguments in a pretrial hearing at 9:30 this morning. the judge is then expected to decide if there's enough evidence to prosecute the seven suspects with a sexual assault outside of a high school homecoming dance last year. the judge has indicated already that a 15-year-old implicated in the case will probably not be tried. a vallejo man accused of lewd acts against children has been released from custody after prosecutors declined to file charges. now police arrested the 30-year- old at his parents home on thursday. the home was a state licensed day care facility until two girls claimed that he committed lewd acts against them. he is still a suspect but prosecutors are reportedly seeking information about other possible victims before pursuing criminal charges. time now 6:37. three young burglary suspects from antioch locked up in santa

clara county jail awaiting court appearance. police arrested them on friday. alert neighbors said he spotted them leaving one of the targeted homes. the coal oiler, scott allen and heather all in their 20s. they're suspected of burglarizing two homes. police in vallejo are looking for the gunman responsible for a deadly shooting. this happened just before noon yesterday in an alleyway. investigators say 30-year-old david perry was shot to death in front of several horrified witnesses. this was vallejo's 17th homicide of the year. there were ten killings in vallejo last year. once again, holiday travelers heading to bay area airports should expect delays this morning. the stormy weather here at home along with the winter storms across the country is making traveling pretty tough. last night the delays at sfo were one to two hours. and there could be similar delays later this morning when the big crowds arrive.

124,000 people are expected to pass through sfo alone today. and that is up 25,000 more than a typical winter day. time now 6:38. sal's got a lot going on. particularly a horrifying accident in san francisco. what's the latest? that's right. this is just past 19th avenue. they still believe it or not this person has been there i think it's been more than an hour now southbound just past 19th avenue on the way to 280. looks like they might have been able to get the person out of the car. not this car, but there's another car down the embankment here just past 19th avenue. rescue operation on the way. truck 19 is there, rescue 2 is there. we can see that the police and the fire department still very much an active scene. so just give yourself plenty of time. if you're on 19th avenue and want to get onto 280 south two

lanes are blocked just as you make that right turn. all right. we have a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. that traffic looks okay getting into san francisco. and in san mateo an accident westbound 92 near 101. for a while it was blocking a couple of lanes. there were no injuries out there, but the traffic still may be a little sluggish approaching the 92/101 interchange. it's not as big of a deal as we thought because no one was hurt which is always the good news. there may be a little bit of a slow down approaching 101. 6:40. let's go to steve. sal, thank you, sir. ifou have any weather information sp weather if you want to tweet me. very good information comes in. that's the best place to send information if you actually have breaks in the clouds and i know there's some out there. we also have what's going on right there. you can see some of those breaks, at least a little bit of a change here. some sun, but there's still a few showers kind of popping up and i'll show you those here in just a second.
