have much. very little fog hanging around enough that got a pick me up from a system dropping down out of the north. that sent the clouds flying. there's definitely a breeze in place out of the west or southwest. along with the low clouds in place. temperatures cooling down. it will drop inland. really haven't moved too much. had a 49. and there you go west, southwest, 28. gusts of 36. a little spin in the atmosphere. see that little guy right there? that's helping the fog increase. cooler, sunny but breezy. temperatures inland coming down the most. 50s, 60s closer to the coast. five day forecast, cooling trend into friday. start to turn around saturday and temperatures inland will warmup sunday/monday. >> overnight trouble on the roof of a bay area school. what led up to an urgent call for

investigation tells us the driver being pursued opened fire on officers. no one was hit. we can probably see some of those evidence markers in the middle of the roadway. the real problem here is for drivers. traffic barely moving very slow here on the lower deck. only two lanes are open heading into oakland right now. everything started around 1:30 this morning when officers saw a car speeding. the crash crashed here on the bridge and that's when shots were fired. a source says the driver being chased tossed his gun over the bridge and into the bay. this is a very complex crime scene that's causing a major back up. the bay bridge on ramps are even slow into san francisco. and we talked with drivers there who are frustrated. >> i'm already late for work. >> so are you going to try to do it still? >> i have patience to do. >> the driver being chased this morning was eventually taken into custody and sources also

telling us there was a passenger with him in the car as well. san francisco police are now involved in this investigation. their crime scene technicians have been called out here. you can see only two lanes open here on the lower deck this morning. and the chp telling us they don't expect all the lanes to reopen until 1030 in the morning. he's going to have alternate routes to get around this mess. >> good morning. we do have very slow traffic on the lower deck of the bay bridge because of what you just mentioned now. you mentioned the city street back up and it's become ridiculous. this looks like a bad friday chut. so bad -- friday commute. so bad they have officers there directing traffic. as our photographer looks down first street, it is backed up well into the financial district. we do not recommend using the bay bridge to get over to oakland at this time. but you can go there if you want to sit in traffic for

at least an hour. i would use the san mateo bridge as an alternative. pretty good driving down 101 heading eastbound on 92. and you can use the freeway to get back to this part of the east bay. we'll use frequent traffic updates and let you know what's going on. >> thank you, sal. it is 8:01. we are following developing news. a young man is in critical condition following an early morning shooting in oakland. happened about two hours ago at 83rd and b street. our news crew was there just a short time later and police tell us a gun man shot the victim several tames inside a home. the victim was targeted but not clear what led up to the gunfire. the search for that gun man continues at this hour. police in east pala alto say they have arrested a suspect. happened shortly after 10:00 last night.

firefighters because of budget cuts increased the danger and affected response times. one neighbor told us he yelled at the people setting off those fire works and before he knew it he was in the middle of a brushfire. >> we rallied a bunch of them to start putting the fire out long before the fire department got here. we had already as you can see back there, there's a wider fire break, that was headed right for my house. >> reporter: this is what it looked like this morning. closeup on the smoke still coming off that dry brush. one woman was treated for smoke inhalation last night. no damages to homes this morning. but it's an issue with neighbors for breathing problems. so far there have been no arrests and no citations. reporting live, ktvu channel 2 news. >> we are waiting to hear what caused a car fire in oakland.

been all morning long as the investigation on the lower deck continues show you some pictures here pretty thorough investigation. they have to stop traffic all together so we are not recommending at all you use the lower deck of the bay bridge. some people are roughing it. they want to get there. it would take you less time to drive around. drive down 101 and use 92 and be back in oakland. just approaching the bridge in city streets. afternoon commute. the only difference between this and afternoon commute is you won't move as quickly. only one lane on the bridge. this traffic usually recycles quickly. not today. and you can see even san francisco has sent parking control officers to clear this intersection and keep it moving. let's talk about the alternate route. good way to get to the east bay. i would do

that if i was trying to get to the east bay. moving over to the south bay. relatively quiet and we've also been checking out the county. slow traffic and minor accident on highway 4. but the rest of it looks good. 24 from walnut creek to oakland looks good. let's go to steve. >> thank you and very good morning mostly cloudy. a little breeze. for some, there's more than a little breeze. strong breeze and most tweets this morning are talking about how cold it is. a lot more fog and clouds. even with the sunshine it will be cooler. temperatures inland coming down 10 degrees. helped along by a system working closer to us. santa rosa about an hour. 49 there. 53. 58

it. 8:37. let's get over to sal. you've had a busy morning. >> yeah, still very slow. we still have very slow traffic on the lower deck for the police investigation. we still have lanes closed. looks like they may have opened one more lane. looks like two lanes are open because it's moving better. three lanes closed eastbound on the lower deck. this is causing massive problems on san francisco city streets near the lower deck opening there at 1st and harrison. we have a lot of slow traffic. we can go to that shot if we can. i'll show you the opening here of the bay bridge. it is very slow and slow all the way down to harrison all the way up to 1st street. this is a major problem for leaving san francisco. also affecting northbound 101. let's talk about other parts of the commute. just a little bit of slow traffic. for

close to the investigation that the driver being pursued fired shots at officers as well. no one was hit by gunfire. traffic barely moving here on the lower deck. two lanes are open at this time. everything started around 130 this morning when officers spotted this car that was speeding. they chased that car on to the bridge. eventually that car crashed in the middle of lanes. that's when shots were fired. the driver being chased tossed his gun over the bridge and into the bay. of course this is a complicated crime scene and causing major delays. drivers trying to go east >> i'm already late for work. >> you are going to try to do it still? >> of course, i got patience to do. >> the driver being chased was taken into custody.

we also do understand in speaking with the chp he did suffer injuries. but we don't believe those are gunshot injuries. we believe those are injuries he suffered during the crash that was the end of the pursuit. there was another woman in the car as well. san francisco police as we come back out here live are conducting this investigation. the crime scene technicians have been called out here. to have an outside agency investigate this apparent officer involved shooting that took place in the bay bridge this morning. multiple lanes shut down on the lower deck and according to the chp, those lanes will remain closed until 10:30 this morning. if you are driving and want to head from san francisco to the east bay, find alternate route. >> good morning. that's absolutely correct. i recommend going down to the san mateo bridge out of san francisco. head south on 101 or 280 and

connect. looking at these pictures of people who are not heeding this advice and it's really bad. you saw the slow traffic there on 1st street. it's like an afternoon commute on all the approaches to the bridge including northbound 101. and they have parking patrol officers trying to speed up. southbound 101 to eastbound 92. still looks pretty good and that's what i would do. get up to anywhere in the east bay using 880. let's go back to the desk. >> you know what, viewers were the first to know about this bay bridge story because they signed up for the morning wake up call. great tool to have. get the morning's top stories that developed while you were sleeping sent straight to your cell phone at 6:00 a.m. sign up for the texting by texting the word wake up to 70123. >> 8:49. new this morning a huge tree came crashing down in
