7:04 am
i've been talking with investigators this morning and as they put the pieces together in this investigation we're getting a clearer idea of what happened. we are on the onramp to interstate 880. this is jackson street and originally thought the shooting may have been happening here because there were shell casings on this onramp. now police tell me the shooting did happen on the freeway. they believe someone in another car opened fire on this as it was driving up the interstate. it was about 10:30 last night. the warriors game was just getting out, so there was a lot of traffic on the freeway. that's when the first calls came in to the chp about some kind of collision with an ambulance coming. then a few minutes later oakland police, their dispatch got a call about an argument and shots fired. both agencies responded to the scene, and that's where they found two people in and near a white porsche that had been shot. the driver found dead in the
7:05 am
car, the passenger found dead on the freeway. police now tell me both were wearing warriors gear. they do believe both likely came from the warriors game which was just getting out. what they don't know is who's responsible. >> this is a senseless act because you have individuals who are firing weapons in a densely populated area without regard to life and safety of other people, so this is a very senseless act and we want to get to the bottom of it. >> here's what's been happening overnight. the freeway was shut down for several hours. around 2:00 this morning, it did open back up to traffic. they collected a lot of evidence from the scene. we're told, lots of shell case. they scoured it for evidence, and then they took a lot of names for witnesses. we are told that they have not contacted those witnesses yet. they're just beginning those interview processes right now as they try to piece together what happened. they've been really trying to figure out more about the two people killed in this. we're told one of the people is
7:06 am
in his 20s, the other victim in his 30s. they are believed to be from the bay area but probably not from oakland itself, and again, their families have not been notified so very, very early. we know investigators have been working all night long trying to figure this out. it will be a long day. they're asking for anyone who was in and around this area who saw or heard anything to give them a call. live in oakland claudine wong ktvu channel 2 news. happening now, things are starting to get heated at a hearing surrounding the irs scandal in washington d. c. right now recently ousted irs chief steven miller is getting questioned about what he knew about the irs targeting conservative groups. coming up at 7:15, kyla campbell will have the late fest what's happening inside that meeting and what was said that was so tense. and in the meantime president obama is shifting his focus to job creation. later today he'll go to baltimore maryland to visit a community center that teaches job skills. he will also speak at a

7:39 am
yesterday's system. the higher clouds are down in southern california. all i can find really is kind of cloud cover down there, not much else. cool pattern in place. mostly sunny today after some of those patchy low clouds. the warmer weather will take us into the weekend. 40s for some on the temps. 50s, we are starting to bounce off those morning lows. it will be a breezy pattern mainly out of the west. it's an onshore breeze. had a couple 30s in lake county, 70s on the desert but held in check due to the cloud cover down there. for us it will be sunny after that patchy low cloud deck and high pressure on the way for the weekend. sunny and breezy, a little chill in that morning air, and the patchy low clouds in place. otherwise i think they'll stay confined the to the coast and bay. 60s, 70s up to lake county and napa concord, walnut creek, 60s closer to berkeley alameda. 60s upper 60s san jose, low 60s on the coast and in san fransisco. bay to breakers, a little cooler, mostly cloudy with some fog sunday morning.
