heartbreak and sympathy in a coastal community, the aftermath of a fatal dog attack that killed a pregnant woman. good afternoon, i am tori campbell. we will get to that attack in a moment. first breaking news. terminal one at the oakland airport was closed down for a time this morning. ktvu went out to cover this

breaking news story and we are hearing there has been a change in the past couple of minutes. >> reporter: yeah, good news in the last couple of minutes but as these things happen it takes a while to get back to normal. you can see people lined up at terminal two which is receiverred for southwest airlines but they were funneling people over there to check in. take a look at the video we shot from chopper 2 this morning. it started at 10:15. that is when a passenger going through terminal 1 through a checkpoint was stopped for what appeared to be a suspicious package. they closed that checkpoint and moved the passengers over to terminal two to be checked through for their flight. some of those passengers were confused and said they were told the planes themselves p not being allowed to taxi up to

the gate. we had not heard of delays but that would indicate there must have been delays. the bomb squad was called in and you can see that from the video we shot from chopper 2. we talked to a spokesperson from the bomb squad who described package as this, he said it contained liquid and cables coiled around and something that could look like a starter or igniter. without being very specific about what it really was. he said it was not a bomb. the starter igniter could have been a pump or an air mattress. the passenger trying to bring those on board was detained but again not a bomb. the terminal was opened at 11:38 this morning, so just about 20 minutes ago as we were leaving terminal one we saw a bomb sniffing dog coming down and as things were winding down, so hopefully things will be back to normal here soon at oakland international airport but certainly if you have a flight or picking someone up it

is worth calling to make sure about the delays. noel walker, ktvu channel 2 news. >> it is a dog attack that shocked a community. a pit bull malls his pregnant owner. tara moriarty says this is the first time such an attack has happened in 25 years. >> reporter: that's correct. we spoke to the captain and he says investigators are waiting to the autopsy results on the victim and the dog in order to get a better idea how it played out. an hour and 1/2 ago her husband came about the house to pick up things. neighbors keep stopping by the home with flowers, candles and well wishes. yesterday morning craig left for work and when he came home for lunch he found his pregnant wife bitten and dying on the living room floor, the bloody pit bull hovering over here.

>> this was one of those bloody scenes we respond to, she did have a lot of trauma. she was not responsive. she was not breathing. >> police shot and killed the pit bull after it lunged at them. the examination will reveal it if had rabies or a condition that led it to attack its owner. we spoke to one owner. she says she is relieved no neighborhood children were ever attacked. >> i walk there with my -- with my -- my son. he-0 there is always, you know, strollers, because it is a very you know young family neighborhood. >> many believe this incident could lead to a law requiring pit bull owners to neuter their pets. this particular dog was not neutered. it is a law that already exists in san francisco but not in san mateo county. live at pacifica, tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. >> an alameda county judge was scheduled this morning to sentence the man who confessed
