8:48 am
released. but it's president obama's call. back here, a parolee is in jail in the east bay. he's accused of opening fire on a veteran police officer in pittsburg. that gunfire shattered the glass of the patrol car -- patrol car. remarkably, the officer was not hurt. there's word that the los angeles dodgers don't have the money to meet this month's payroll. phil shueman is live in los angeles with more. so what is frank mccourt saying about the money problems, phil? >> reporter: well, he's said all along that in if mlb approves this deal on table with fox broadcasting, a multideal, $20 million, all of their problems will go ahead. but in the l.a. times and also in the wall street journal, it was reported that mccourt doesn't have the money to meet two payrolls in
