with stab wounds to the torso. an ambulance transported both of the seriously wounded victims to nearby hospitals. we are told they are now in stable condition. a third man was also stabbed in the forearm however police say he refused medical treatment. but, again, walnut creek police arrested two men that they believe are behind the stabbing. they were looking for them for several hours after this stabbing happened around 9:00 last night. they were booked on martinez detention facility on $50,000 bail. when i spoke to the wife of one of the men arrested she said he hasn't posted bail yet that he is still in that detention facility. we'll try to bring more information and check and see what police are saying in terms of we saw them pull up to this apartment building and we saw them enter one of the residences in this apartment building. presumably the residents of the one person who lives here in this building who was arrested. we'll try to bring you more information in our next live report. live in walnut creek, allie rasmus, ktvu channel 2 news. time now 6:03.

overnight a late night grass fire in concord is under control now. this is a fire that started just after 11:00 last night on discovery way near cal state east bay's concord campus. fire crews quickly responded. they put the flames out about 30 minutes later. no buildings were burned. we still have no word on what caused that fire. one house in union city is the focus of several police investigations. ktvu's kraig debro is in front of that house this morning with more on the string of violence. some of it deadly. kraig. >> reporter: good morning, pam. i've been looking around the neighborhood. it doesn't appear to be just this house. i want to show you a couple things first. see that blue ban where the garbage is right in front of this house? i've been around enough of these crime scenes to know that those look like bullet holes. if you look up to that house which is 663 on the door there the couple other pop marks that also look like bullet holes. this morning police are focusing on another house and they're looking for a person in connection with a shooting at this home.

they're also trying to figure out why two other people have been the victims of violent deaths here since last september. a man shot here sunday night is still alive. the victims in the other two homicides are not. police got the call around 8:30 sunday night. several people called to report they heard multiple gunshots. police arrived. the 21-year-old man lay wounded in the yard of the home. >> the initial information is at that the suspect approached on foot. i don't have a race. i have dark clothing and that is it. he ran away forwards the train tracks. >> reporter: the unidentified victim is in critical condition. two other people died in this very same home last month 49- year-old reuben was shot and killed here and last september a man who actually lives at the home died following a domestic dispute. there is a suspect in that case, police are still looking for suspects in the other incidences of violence. reporting live in union city, kraig debro, ktvu channel news. we're learning more about

the big river driver involved in friday's deadly amtrak accident east of reno. nevada dmv records show 42-year- old lawrence valli had a half dozen moving violations since 2008 including four speeding tickets. investigators also found a cell phone at the scene of the crash that they believe belonged to valli. they want to know if he was talking or texting on that phone before his big rig smashed into the train. valli was killed along with five other people on the train including the conductor bound for emeryville. one passenger is still listed as missing. time now 6:06. boy, we're following developing news from athens, greece, right now. see this smoke t. is a live picture. that's a television news crew truck that's on fire. set on fire believe by demonstrators. again, this is live from athens, greece. the protests are against government budget cut backs and it's really become a very tense situation as we watch these

live pictures. now there have been reports of the protesters throwing molotov cocktails. we see a tv news satellite truck already on fire. police in riot gear put up barricades right in front of the parliament building because lawmakers will be voting tomorrow on a very tough five year package of tax hikes and spending cuts. a 48 hour general strike started in athens, greece, early this morning. travel in and out of athens is disrupted, but, again, this is just one of the many scenes right now in athens, greece, live where not only riot police are lined up outside of the parliament building but already a television news satellite truck has been set on fire. we'll keep you posted as we check on that later on. well, in election news the little state of iowa is getting crowded with politicians as some key contests for the 2012 presidential race gets closer. today president obama and sarah palin will both be in iowa. coming up at 6:15 we're going

to have a live report from our washington d.c. newsroom on who else is visiting iowa this week. now before heading to iowa, president obama was working with senators. he didn't make any great breakthroughs though in his first round of talks aimed at getting republicans to raise the nation's debt limit. the president met separately yesterday with the republican and democratic senate leaders. republicans continue to insist that they will not vote to raise the debt limit unless democrats first agree to substantial spending cuts. time now 6:08. this morning the oakland city council will talk about tentative agreements on pensions for five city labor unions. the police union has tentatively agreed to pay 9% of its pension plans. the firefighters, professional and technical engineers and other union members, they're expected to make concessions equivalent to 9% as well. the oakland city council starts voting on that budget tonight. oakland by the way has a $58 million budget deficit. all right. 6:08 is the time.

time to check in again on traffic. where are you starting, sal? we're starting here at the toll plaza, pam, in oakland westbound bay bridge traffic looks pretty good coming into san francisco. and, again, we're thinking that the metering lights go on there will be a little more slow traffic. and also as we get closer to the 4th of july holiday at the end of the week we'll see people tailing off and getting vacations in. but right now it still looks kind of normal out there. on the east shore freeway the same thing goes. traffic is busy especially in richmond. but here in berkeley it's evened out. if you're driving on 580 west there's still a crash not in the lanes though. 580 at 680. didn't turn out to be a huge deal if you're driving on the nimitz freeway still clear from hayward to fremont. 6:09. back to steve. sal, thank you, sir. cloudy skies. cool. rain's already in the north and it's getting very close. well, it's moving into marin county now and start to get closer to san francisco as well as our system is beginning to slide in. so for many i'd say east bay,

probably peninsula, south bay morning commute should be okay. cloudy, cool to mild. but north bay and then along the coast drizzle and rain beginning to inch closer. you can see it's coming down pretty hard towards russian river area and santa rosa up into lake county. heavy rain reported an hour ago and right off the marin coast and san mateo and san francisco things starting to light up good as this system slides in. the system for the end of june really deserves a wow. i mean it's pretty impressive. .05 to an inch plus heavier amounts will be to the north. lesser amounts to the south. this looks more like a late morning, early afternoon front that comes through. wind is not a huge factor. 25 maybe gusts to 30 higher elevations but the temperatures way below. 60s, san jose right now. so very mild south wind out ahead of that system. but mid-50s for many or upper 50s hayward, mountain view in there redwood city great look at the low spinning right there off almost eureka. it's going to come right over us. all signs point towards moving in around the north baby this

evening. so we have the front and then the low. so even though once the front goes through any breaks will help destabilize the atmosphere. so rain develops heaviest to the north bay where an inch plus is possible today. cloudy, cool, breezy highings 60s and 70s. i mean just really cool. but the end result is usually flip that around and get very warm about three or four days out and that's exactly what's going to happen. tomorrow, late tonight, tomorrow thunderstorms or morning showers then clear it out of here. but not until that system moves east do i trust it. heaviest rain to the north. extremely cool for june. cloudy with rain developing heaviest amounts in the north in the morning and then late morning, early afternoon for everyone else. south towards the santa clara valley may not get much at all as the system weakens. everyone else will get measurable rain today and record rainfall amounts are possible. san francisco needs .22 to tie a record. clouds, showers on wednesday and clearing on thursday and then everything points towards sunshine and warm to hot conditions as we head into the weekend. well, the sour us river

out of the truck this late in the season. marin county even issued a summer storm warning certainly not something people were counting on so close to july in fact many people visiting san francisco could have to push back some outdoor plans today. we could see as much as an inch here in the north bay with lesser amounts as you go south it will be the fourth rainy day we've had in june and this morning people told us they're just ready for it to really feel like summer. >> now it's raining. >> you were planning to go to the beach? >> now we'll have to stay home. >> reporter: we're keeping a close eye on the clouds here in novato. just look at them sitting on the hill tops there. certainly no flooding expected. but marin county public works has staff on standby at pump stations around the area. they're even telling drivers to be on the look out for possibly slick roads here. and let's check in now with meteorologist steve paulson for a closer look at what we can expect today.

husband was acting in self- defense and that he parked his car for the night at this car wash because there was no more space left in the apartment lot. she says that her husband told her that three men tried to jump him and he tried to fight them off. but obviously police don't believe that story. they arrested him and another man on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. some of the people who live in this apartment building told us that they're surprised because they've never had any problems here before. >> i've lived here like two years and everything's okay. >> reporter: so you're surprised by what happened in that parking lot? >> i'm surprised, yeah. >> reporter: now this stabbing happened around 9:00 last night. according to police there was some sort of dispute or fight that happened in the car wash parking lot. the result of that was that three people were stabbed, two of them seriously injured with stab wounds to the torso. the two victims were taken by ambulance to a hospital in critical condition. this morning police say their condition is now stable. a third man was stabbed in the

forearm but he refused medical treatment. but in the meantime the two men arrested for the stabbing remain in that martinez detention facility this morning on $50,000 bail. live in walnut creek, allie rasmus, ktvu channel 2 news. time now 6:35. happening right now. republican presidential candidate tim pawlenty is in new york city making what his campaign is calling a major foreign policy speech. in fact we're going to peek in live. this is tim pawlenty right there. let's listen in for a second. >> while protestatorrers were killed and tortured, secretary clinton said the administration was "waiting to see the outcome of the internal iranian process seize." she and the president waited long enough to see the green revolution, the green movement crushed. engagement also meant in his first year in office president -- >> again. we've been listening for just a few moments. this is republican presidential

candidate tim pawlenty in new york city speaking before the council on foreign relations. we wanted to let you hear just a little of what he was saying. we'll keep tabs on his speech and get more details later on. time now 636:67:89 five months now have passed since the january tucson shooting rampage where six people were shot dead, 13 were wounded including congresswoman gabrielle giffords. now congresswoman giffords is making a big step in her recovery. coming up at 6:45 we'll show you the public event where the congresswoman decided to step out in public. today state lawmakers in sacramento will vote on the latest budget plan negotiated by democrats and the governor. the governor gave up the hope of striking a deal with republicans to get their support for extending taxes. instead the new budget relies on deep cuts. especially to the state's public universities and the court system. and it anticipated $4 billion in new revenue from an

improving economy. now the governor says already this year the state has taken in $4 billion in unexpected revenue, but if the anticipated new revenue in the next fiscal year does not materialize, there are trigger cuts built into the budget to make up the difference. >> going forward we do expect more revenues in the budget year coming up. but in case we're overoptimistic we have severe trigger cuts that will be triggered and go into effect and those are real. >> the governor's office will determine in january whether the trigger cuts will take effect. they include shortening the school year by seven days. time now 6:38. the new political redistricting map for california could mean a boost for democrats in next year's election. the new political boundaries -- take a look at them. this is california being drawn up by a citizens commission. analysts who studied this say that in the next congressional election three to five seats

now held by republicans could shift to democrats. the family of a murdered san leandro man hopes to draw attention to his death by holding a vigil this afternoon. gary jones was shot and killed four years ago when he stopped for gas in hayward. now the surveillance tape shows two men in a silver or gray van following him to the station. police say the men were stealing the medical marijuana he had just picked up from a dispensary. the family has posted a $70,000 reward for information leading to the killers. time now 6:39. we know rain's coming. let's check in with sal. how's the toll plaza? well, you know it's getting busier, dave. we still don't see that holiday light conditions. those holiday light conditions that we are expecting some time this week. maybe it will be tomorrow or the next day. we see big back up here at the toll plaza. we also see construction worker on the roof of that new toll plaza administration building they're building there. westbound traffic backed up for about a 10 to 12 minute delay.

unstable air behind it and then the low itself. so anywhere from .05 to maybe over an inch of rain. i've seen projections of 1.5 plus north and east of us. so it wouldn't take much. not a big wind producer. but a temperature-wise band of really cool temperatures will settle in today. good 5 to 20 degrees below average this time of year. out ahead of it a south wind very mild upper 50s low 60s mountain view, hayward, redwood city, san jose. 54 seems popular. san francisco, san rafael, napa, santa rosa great look at the low spinning there as it heads into northern california. eventually it's going to end up over us and therein lies the possibility of thundershowers and a continuation of unsettled weather into tomorrow. enhancement taking place as well. watch in the last few frames right there. not only do we get that to come through then that has to come by this evening into tomorrow morning. so very unsettled for the next 48 hours. then things calm down we start to warm it up. rain develops heaviest north bay and along the coast and higher elevations cloudy, cool and breezy with 60s and 70s. but, again, that low it's going

to be closer not farther away that's for sure. so into wednesday thunderstorms possible along with morning showers then clear it out wednesday afternoon and wednesday evening. heaviest rain will be in the north or along the coast already probably some local drizzle but the rain is really close. 60s and 70s maybe some mild conditions east and south but very cool and cloudy conditions with off and on rain for the north bay. temperatures there are well below average. clouds, showers into wednesday. then it looks like everything clears out and sunshine and warmer weather takes us into the weekend. all right. sounds good at least for the weekend. well, the casey anthony murder trial continues after a surprising twist in court. what anthony's lawyers wanted and why they didn't get it. >> reporter: the deadly reason that police in union city have been to one particular home on whipple road multiple times. good morning. traffic in marin county looking pretty good here on southbound 101 heading down to the civic center. still no rain. we'll tell you more about this commute straight ahead. 7
