the woman who lives there told me she went to answer a knock on the door and for some reason hesitated. went back to the bathroom to fix her hair and that's when the bullets started flying. they told us how they crawled on to the floor and crawled to safety. through this hail of bullets that pierced windows, doors, and walls. even pieces of furniture they were sitting in moments before. it appears the couples friend that works in the neighborhood was the intended target. he was coming over to watch a basketball game when the gunfire broke out. now all of this happened around 7:00 last night. police received a flood of 911 calls to report gunshots. evidence tags filled the street at the corner of emmerson and shattick. the victim was pronounced dead at the hospital and suspects are still on the loose. >> we are encouraging anyone that may have seen or heard something. we had a lot of participation of callers but sometimes the smallest thing can be the thing

monday. looks like a weak system. the weekend all signs say sunshine and warmer weather. system responsible for the wind is diving south. high pressure is building into the north. so it fills it. also fog. there is pockets of zero visibility to a quarter of a mile out there. watch out as the low digs south it goes down to southern california. high goes into oregon and the combination of the two gives us a breezy day after that morning fog. northerly wind 20-40 miles an hour. not that bad at the surface. in the higher elevations it's already there. 40s and 50s. i would not be surprised if santa rosa comes in at 41. and then some of napa hill about 20. it's starting and also out to the valley it has been about northwest 15-20. that has cleared out some of the fog. a north wind, northwest santa rosa. north, northeast at sfo. the wind is kicking up.
