well, good morning to you.

welcome to moat mast. i'm dave clark. >> i'm tori campbell. it's friday, january 7th. the investigation is underway right now about a mystery going on at the marriott. carbon monoxide. and the health department still doesn't know the source of the dangerous fumes. tara moriarty joins us live with this update. >> reporter: according to the police department, the sours of the problem was coming from the 4th floor, two rooms that face each other. there is a hallway separating them. we did get a chance to go in there and look around. we were asked to leave. we didn't expect to find anything because it's carbon monoxide, which is odorless and colorless. investigators ran tests on two floors of the hotel and did

find elevated levels. half a dozen people had to be hospitalized, two were treated at the scene. the call came in last night. we believe the victims were flight attendants from sing ga pore air. we don't know the source of where the gas was coming from. initially authorities thought maybe the victims caught some sort of virus and exhibited f lu-like symptoms and that may be the reason why nothing was done. we've put in several cars from different answers but have not heard back. marriott corporate offices based in maryland are expected to make some sort of a statement soon, and we will, of course, bring that to you. but as of now, there's no no indication of where the source of the carbon monoxide was coming from. tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. turning to alameda. our ktvu news crew went to the scene of a power outage and found a bigger and more

dangerous problem. kraig debro joining us live. he has the latest on what we're talking about. good morning, kraig. >> reporter: good morning. one of the scary things right now, when i talk to a power company, employee, he said he didn't know why this happened. right now, crews are gonna be busy replacing that line. see the second from the right? they cut it down earlier, just to get it out of the way. and down here, a crew members, one of several on the ground. they will be replacing that l ine. that power lane came down. here's what it did -- this used to be asphalt. take a look at this. see how green it is -- he how green it is? >> the power crews say this is glass and the power line came down and membered one part of the glass. this happened around 4:30 this morning at willow and san antonio in the city of alameda. when the power lines came down, of course, it shut down power to hundreds of customers in the

city of alameda -- alameda hospital, including alameda hospital. they had backup generators, so they were able to continue to serve their patient as the time. nobody was hurt at this l ocation. it could have been far worse. when i talked to the power company employee, he said there was a tremendous amount of voltage in that line. >> it's a 12,000-volt line. it will do that. >> that's a major line. how much is 12,000 volts? >> well, your house meter is 1250, mullet pie -- multiply that by 100. and that's how much it is. >> reporter: now, the fire department was out here and it was so hot they sprayed down the area around where the power line fell on the asphalt, and --wa is it? 7:00 now? so two and a half hours later, it's still steaming. take a look at -- it's starting to cool down a little bit. we had a shot of the coin earlier.

there was steam. you might still be able to see it rising through the cone. we'll be trying to talk to some people who live around here so they canty us firsthand what it was like at 4:30 in the morning when you had a big 12,000-power line fall to the ground. back to you. >> thank you. a man suspected of pulling a gun on alameda county sheriff deputies during a standoff is in jail. around midnight, deputies rushed to an apartment on maddox and foothill near hayward for a domestic violence call. as deputies arrived, the is -- the suspect reportedly pulled out a gun. that's when one after opened fire. a neighbor and his wife say they heard deputies screaming, "come on out with your hands up" military times. >> the deputy fired at the suspect. the suspect jumped out of a third-story window and fled on into the. >> the suspect was later c

jobs, for at least another two weeks. 7:06. the labor department had better than expected news about u nemployment numbers. the national jobless rate d ropped to 9.4% in december. that's the lowest it's been since may of 2009. and the 4/10ths% decline from the 9.8% in november. in a few minutes we'll have a live report from washington, d.c. ed lee says he would be honored to serve as interim m ayor in that's what's best for the city. today, the outgoing board of supervisors is expected to select lee to serve out the rest of mayor newsom's term. it's largely symbolic because
