i want to show you it happened underneath this bart overpass along tenson road around 11:15. we watched as hayward police scoured for the two armed robbers with canine officers. from what police pieced together a husband and wife were making their way home from the south hayward bart station when two young men in their late teens or early 20s approached them near theover pass. the gunmen ordered the couple to hand over their belongings. police say there was not a struggle and the couple did not resist. but somehow in the process the husband was shot twice. paramedics rushed him to the hospital where he remains in critical condition. his wife wasn't hurt. hayward police say the armed robbers covered their faces during the robbery. so detectives were searching for young men of average height between 5'7" to 5'9" with a thin to medium build. last seen wearing white t- shirts and dark colored pants. the shooting took place about half a block away from the south hayward bart station. it did not take place on bart property. but the couple had just gotten

off a bart train. we'll have more from hayward at the top of the hour. reporting live from hayward this morning jade hernandez, ktvu channel 2 news. well, a man is in grave condition after an overnight shooting in west oakland. that happened shortly after 11:00 p.m. at 65th street near herzog near the berkeley border. investigators say the victim was shot several times and may not survive. it's still not clear what led up to that gunfire. police are still looking for suspects. a search is underway for a suspect in union city's third homicide of the year. police say a man was shot and killed yesterday evening on venus place. he was found on the ground in front of a home there just after 5:00. police have not released the man's name but neighbors say he was married and had children. no information on the suspect. also this morning police have arrested a south bay teacher on suspicion of sexually abusing a child.

brown's approval rating. 52% of registered voters surveyed say they would be willing to extend temporary tax increases to close the state's budget deficit. that's a drop of 9% from march. and the poll finds 31% of voters now disapprove of the governor's job performance up from 21% in march. a criminal investigation is now underway into the san bruno pipeline explosion. pg&e reportedly informed shareholders this week in a filing with the securities and exchange commission that the justice department, the california attorney general's office and the san mateo county district attorney's office have a task force to investigate the deadly september blast that killed several people and destroyed almost 40 homes. police in san carlos say car break-ins are now happening nearly every night. investigators say most of the victims are making the same mistake. they're leaving valuable items in plain sight and leaving

their doors and windows unlocked. the san mateo county sheriff's department says there have not -- there have been at least three dozen break-ins since the beginning of may. >> we've had some stuff stolen as simple as just coins or cash. and then we've had things as serious as a shotgun stolen from a car. >> investigators don't believe this is an organized effort. they say it's more likely to be different people looking for things that are easy to steal. and they are encouraging people to make sure there's nothing that can attract attention left unattended in cars or trucks. well, the air around oakland's lake merit could soon smell better now that a construction project is underway. the lake which is actually a lagoon connected to the bay is often known for smelling like rotten eggs. the odor comes when there's not enough water in the water. now crews are constructing a
