blanco, ktvu channel 2 news. part of an apartment building caught fire in oakland overnight. the fire broke out inside a unit at east 118th and rosedale avenue around 1:30. when firefighters arrived smoke was billowing out of the apartment. it took crews 15 minutes to bring the fire under control. >> the units found the rear unit on fire, and they were able to contain it to the point of origin. >> firefighters say they believe the apartment was vacant. a fire investigator is looking into what caused that fire. an investigation is under way into a deadly shooting in san francisco. it happened around 11:00 last night in the first block of sixth street in the city's south of market neighborhood. when officers arrived they found a 25-year-old man lying on the sidewalk with a gun shot wound. he was pronounced dead at the scene. police haven't made any arrests. oakland is experiencing one of its most violent weeks since 2007. seven people killed in seven

number of injuries shot up in the past three years, and is now higher than state and national averages. between january and may of this year, 28% of all police employees, including patrol officers and jail workers, suffered injuries. 22% of firefighters were hurt. city leaders say they can't explain the increase. the mayor says it appears, though, that training and safety programs have failed. ktvu has obtained surveillance video that could play a major role in an upcoming high profile hit and run trial. in san francisco last thanksgiving, someone ran over a 29-year-old firefighter albert batal. he has been in a coma ever since. the surveillance video is from a jack in the box restaurant. attorneys for the defendant, eduardo dennis esquivel. they show bartal started the fight. >> dennis gets in between and puts his arms out to stop any possible fight and then he leaves when the manager comes out.
