suspicious because they are investigating because of the two bodies inside. not only that because they found somebody or at least witness accounts that someone was running away on foot from the scene. very quickly. a man and woman are believed to be the victims. witness told police they saw somebody on foot. that person may have been carrying something with connection to the start of the fire. i have to call the man that runs the acupuncture business and the homicide detectives to see if they know more now. well, it is monday. that means another bart protest. demonstrators vow to protest every monday until their demands are met. allie rasmus is in san francisco where bart riders may have to find another way back home. >> reporter: if it seems like the bart protests are never ending, organizers would say that is the point. one tweet from anonymous the group that has been organizing
