a bold move from the city of san jose as it takes legal action in the fight over a new south bay stadium for the oakland as. good afternoon. i'm tori campbell. breaking news. today, san jose filed the lawsuit against major league baseball. the city claims baseball's dragging its feet over making the decision whether the as can

move to the south bay. robert handa has a copy of the lawsuit. >> reporter: good afternoon, tori. this is the actual lawsuit filed a little more than an hour ago by the city of san jose against major league baseball for blocking the as move to san jose. you can see the filing stamp on there. again, san jose says it just got tired of waiting. so they filed the lawsuit today in federal court to try to bring the as to san jose. it's something they've started since about 2004 and even with the blue mlb looking into it, they feel nothing has happened and now they feel they have a good and strong case. >> we have laws that allow people like the city of san jose to go challenge bud selig and his "blue ribbon commission." >> reporter: what about the anti-trust issues? >> well, those go back to the 1920s when baseball was given

so-called exemption. but that's in the days when they called a baseball game an exhibition. that's not the same thing today when you pay $8 for a beer and $5 for a hot dog. today it's big business, big economics. it's an interstate commerce. >> reporter: and that big business aspect is a strong part of their case because san jose feels with the stadium project and other things, they've been losing a lot of money waiting for the as to come. we'll have more details coming up apartment 5:00 and 6:00. and major league baseball at this point has declined to comment. reporting live at san jose city hall, robert handa, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. thank you, robert. a union city family is grieving the loss of their 6- year-old son in a deadly dog attack. ktvu's sal -- sal castanedo tell uses what may have led up to the mauling. >> reporter: good afternoon. i want to show you this house in union city. the family has not emerged from inside the house and has not

wanted to speak publicly but we've seen some family members express cone dole lenses on facebook. this is a picture of the boy from a family facebook page. he's identified as 6-year-old they have selu -- nephi selu. he's from dixon but he was here when the dog bite happened. police say yesterday morning before 11:30, they received a call about the dog bite. when officers arrived, they saw paramedics treating a child for the wound to the head inflicted by one of the family dogs described as a pit bull mix. >> it sounds like they were engaged in some type of horse play with the dog, certainly the boy that was bitten. we think he may have been trying to ride it like a little horse. and for whatever reason, the dog decided to bite him. >> reporter: police say the dog was very quickly pried off by the family members but unfortunately, the boy suffered

major injuries. police say the boy was airlifted to lucile packard hospital where he was pronounced dead. neighbors say the family had been good neighbors. there's never been any trouble at the house before. many said they were aware of the presence of a pit bull as a pet but never saw the dogs being aggressive. >> it's just heartbreaking. i've talked to a couple neighbors. we're all heartbroken it had to go to this extent, you know, and the little boy had to lose his life. >> reporter: now, we just did see someone go into the house but again they are not talking to us. that's understandable they wouldn't want to talk or say anything publicly. >> public -- publicly. as for the dog, there were two of them. both are at the animal shelter in fremont where they will be under quarantine for ten days as the investigation continues. sal castanedo, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you, sal. b.a.r.t. police are investigating the death of a person struck by a

happening inside an elevator shaft in this new san francisco building under construction right next to the current hospital. this fire forced 300 workers to evacuate the job site. you can see some light smoke coming from the 9th floor of this -- again, this building under construction right now. fire started about 9:30 this morning. seven construction workers were treated for smoke inhalation. some of them taken away by paramedics to be checked out. two of them went to the emergency room at san francisco general right next door. there was one firefighter treated for a shoulder injury as well. some of the smoke did drift into the existing hospital but a spokeswoman said the fire did not impact hospital operations. >> we also know that the hospital is not on fire. there's no risk of the hospital catching fire and there's no interruption to patient care. that's a completely separate area. this was contained on the construction site. >> reporter: that new san

francisco general hospital building is set to open in 2015. the hospital spokesperson said she was unsure if the fire would delay construction. we did see a lot of construction workers leaving this area, but we're told they will be -- they will be back on the job later today. alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you, alex. a motorcyclist involved in a crash with a bus on a busy san francisco freeway this morning has died. the make was hit by a small -- the motorcycle was hit by a small bus on the silver avenue exit. no passengers were on the private bus. the driver was not injured. the motorcyclist was rushed to san francisco general hadn't where he died. the chp closed at least two lanes of 101 for about two hours while crews were at the scene. the cause of the crash is under investigation. san jose police are asking for the public's help as they investigate a hit-and-run crash that killed a bicyclist. police found the victim on

safer environment for crime and traffic. >> we know that in places in oakland that there's insufficient street lighting, that in other places where there's street lighting, it isn't bright enough. >> these lights will change that. >> this is part of a nearly $15 million project. it's expected to be completed in december. smoking may soon be banned in one bay area city. tonight, walnut creek officials are scheduled to consider a citywide ban. if approved, smoking would not be allowed in the downtown shopping area, city parks and even on the patios and condo areas of apartment complexes. meanwhile, fewer people in the u.s. are smoking. only about $18 -- only about 18% of adults consider themselves smokers. that's down 3% from the year before. health officials are still trying to figure out the reason behind the decline. but they note that the agency
