they believe his name is holeman. they believe he carjacked a vehicle came here to the parking lot where there there was a victim. i want to show you some video that we soo -- that we got from the scene as it develops. you can see a victim in the parking lot. we're told that her injuries are not life-threatening. the elementary schools are open. there is a shelter in place. several blocks, again, blocked off in and around homestead here in cupertino and they work this scene and try to make sure it's secure and safe for everyone. this has been one of these static situationing we're not gonna show you where the police officers are at this point. we don't want to give away any kind of tactical information as they try to capture this gunman but again, i can tell you that

they are foe -- that their focus appears to be on one area, one central area. we do know that the suspect is apparently gunned with a handgun and a rifle. we want to show you a picture of the suspect that we have gotten into our ktvu channel 2 newsroom. again, this is the man police believe is responsible for the work shooting at the quarry. he's a disgruntled worker. we've seen some activity -- again, we're not gonna show you the exact location -- but it appears there's some activity out here on homestead. what we're gonna do at this point is keep an eye on the situation. again, when it comes to these types of situations. we want to be very, very careful that we don't compromise any of the work that the police officers in law enforcement are doing out here in this effort to security this neighborhood and get this suspect into custody. we're gonna keep an eye on the

situation watch for any developments. if anything happens out here, we'll be sure tolet you know. it looking like all of the attention has focused on homestead as they try to track down this person responsible for the shooting. >> can you just clarify your location. for people who want to avoid the area, what are some of the streets off chrome stead that they want to avoid. >> reporter: we're near peacock and inverness. if you are familiar with the hp property, it's near there. when you come down wolfe road you will immediately see a lot of police ackty. they have blocked off any streets that get you near the location. the only reason we're able to get in closer is because we're covering this event. you can see the line of cars down homestead. homestead obviously a very busy

thoroughfare. they are pushing everything to the side. this is -- you are looking at the homestead and quail intersection, all around the hp headquarters parking lot in cupertino. a lot of activity that we are seeing out here right now. not sure if things are changing or if they are just readjusting their tactical information. we'll keep an eye on it for you and we'll keep you updated. >> we still have a reporter near stevens creek in cupertino. we will have an update shortly from the location. right now, believe it or not, snow is falling in the sierra and chains are required by caltrans. kraig sebow is live with more -- kraig de bro is live with more.

>> reporter: it's coming down. it's icy snow. it's not exactly the stuff that sticks around. you look at this onramp. actually, snow -- scientist snowed about 15 minutes ago. you can tell by the onramp that the snow is starting to stick here. if you look at the -- if you look at the chains required sign. we've been out here since 4:30 a.m. and then highway 0 is up there. if you are on -- they shut that area down. the national weather service actually said they were expecting showers. rain showers until 11:00 a.m. i can tell you right now, this is not rain. this is actual snow. so it's coming down earlier than anticipating.

they expect the elevation to be about 6800 feet and then it will dumb come down to 5800. if you look around you can see that it's kind of a slurpee substance. the ski resort and all of the people will be -- hope to bill on what happens here now. >> we broke every record on the books. we were skiing on 4th of july. we are hoping for another one of those. >> okay. highway 80 off the distance. doing a little distance. if we can go to the kingville camera, you can see probably a lot of white in your picture, we were down there and there were big rigs ar pass as the -- as far as the eye can see. if you look at the picture, a lot of these pictures are

they are not letting you through if you don't have chains. let's take a look at the commute here in the bay area. it was sunny here a moment ago. a little bit of cloud cover now. you can see it kind of looks gloomy there. but it's drying. it's drying in the south bay with a lot of slow traffic on -- traffic on 237, 101, 17 and 85. very slow. this is 880 you can tell that the open coliseum parking lot is still wet from the rain. and the toll is about a 15- minute delay now. >> all right, sal. for some it's nice. for others it's breezy and cool. there's a line of showers right near san jose, although it seems to be san jose, parts to the east. parts to the west. it will be cooler. that's that kine right there, and then heading towards mendocino county, that will be

the next ban that -- band. that comes in late in the moving, early afternoon. had to be intense through fremont. it went past -- i just lost my train of thought. heading through the mountaining and highway 17. some of this is really intense. i would not be surprised if there was hail. we'll have some sun for a while and then we can expect pretty good buildup. this weather is more like november than december. here comes the next band. the heaviest will stay to the north. but it will be close to us. i'm just proud brushing it. after tomorrow morning, i would

say we should be on the drier side. it will be a cool day. friday, we'll clear it out and with the weekend, it will be mostly sunny and happy to say for some of you if you like the rain, it's gone. it will be warm he. tori? dave? >> all right. thank you. 20 minutes before 9:00. there's a shakeup among the front runners in the race for the presidential nomination. and a very fiery explosion. you see it there on camera. a miracle escaped who was inside that home building. >> reporter: we're live near coupe -- cupertino where a man shot and killed his coworkers this morning. we'll have a live report coming up. blatche

ground. those people have been moved to the fire department. ears have been taken to nearby hospitals. just to recap, authorities believe that allman was disgruntled and opened fire at a safety meeting. we don't know if he fled immediately or stuck around the lehigh quarry grounds. but his description matches that of the suspect that's being hunt down right now over at the hp pal area and with more on that we're gonna join claudine wong who did give us an update. >> reporter: well, tear you are a still-developing situation. we're at holme stead. this is the line that -- hole stead. this is the line that divides cuptertino. if you go out to the left, you can see some gates. that's where the police say -- that's where police say the suspect ditched his car and that's where a woman was shot in the leg. she's gonna be okay. what happened then, the suspect left the parking lot and fled

into sunnyvale, literally across the street. this is where police have been phone cussed on the entire time we've been here and most of the morning you can see that s.w.a.t. team pulling out of that driveway. at one point, all of the drives were lined up against the car. within the past hour, police officers walked away from the house close he -- closer to the home and they came out and they've been regrouping. we don't know what happened, if they went in and didn't find him in there. we do know however that it looks like they are changing tactics at this point. i can tell you much of this neighborhood is lock -- is blocked off for about two, three blocks into the subny vail area. this entire area to the side on the sunnyvale side of this hp

complex is all residence and they have several blocks blocked off. when we came through. every police officer -- when we came through, every police officer had their gun drawn, watching and ready. they don't know where the man is right now and that's a big concern. they believe he's armed with a handgun, a rifle, and they believe he's -- he's involved in several shootings this morning and is violent. what they are trying to do is track him down. they told us, you know, we want to keep you back. we wish you had body armor on. and since you don't, we're gonna keep you back for your own safety. so it looks like the tension is defused. the big problem right now, they don't know where he is. so the search does continue for him at this hour -- at this hour. shareff ailman, the suspect in this workplace, the man they
