city limits. even though this was the chp pursuit. at least one officer opened fire on the driver of a car who refused to pull over early this morning. you can see here several streets blocked off in this neighborhood near east 15th street and 57th avenue. the chp is not saying what condition that driver is in, but from newschopper2 you can see what appears to be a body under a tarp. this chase started just before 3:00. near 580 and high street in oakland. according to an officer, the chp tried to stop the man's car because it didn't have any plates on it. the driver wouldn't pull over and then led two officers on a short case through the streets of oakland. this pursuit ended when that driver turned down a dead-end street, stopped his car and jumped out. that's when at least one officer opened fire. the chp won't say if the driver had a weapon of any kind. but we're told no officers were murt during all of this. an alameda shooting team will be investigating here along

with a chp shooting team. we've seen an oakland police spokesperson arrive at the scene. we're waiting for an update on this shooting involving a chp officer. this will likely be a lengthy investigation that will last several hours throughout the morning. live this morning in oakland, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. >> alex, thank you. 7:04. new this morning. dozens of people homeless after an early-morning fire in san jose. now, this was first reported at about 2:00 this morning at this apartment building on cadillac drive. no word of injuries yet but the flames caused a lot of damage to several units. right now, still not clear how the fire started. the red cross is there, helping the people who were forced out of their homes. this morning, caltrain is investigating a deadly accident that killed one person and seriously injured another. now, that happened yesterday evening north of the santa clara station. caltrain says the men were hit by a san francisco-bound train traveling at least 50 miles per

ever for wind craft. the company started producing pennants, towels, as soon as the game was over. it quickly started double production at the end of the nfc championship game. the company expects very big sales because this super bowl is based on the largest population center of the country. you can watch the super bowl right here on ktvu, sunday, february 2nd. the nfl may soon kick the extra point after touchdowns to the curb. commissioner roger goodell believes it slows down the game since pro kickers, they hardly ever miss. five out of 1200 extra points were missed in all of last season. well, goodell is considering a plan where a team would automatically get seven points for a touchdown. a team would only get six points if it goes for a two- point conversion and they fail. it would take 24 of the nfl's 32 teams to approve making that

change. 7:17. let's check in with sal for a look at traffic this morning. we have that big problem in oakland that we've been talking about. still, 580, two lanes blocked with this motorcycle and someone seriously injured. there's 580 approaching the macarthur maze getting down to the crash. i want to mention that 580 is backed up from before highway 24 and as our newschopper2 tilts down to see the crash, they are making some progress on 580 westbound. just kind of waiting for to to come around -- for it to come around. the chp issued a sig-alert for the crash that involved the motorcyclist. as we get to the crash here, it looks like the medics have left. looks like maybe oakland fire may be pulling out soon. these lanes are going to open up in just a few moments. but the damage is done. let's take a look at the bay bridge. cars aren't getting through -- cars are getting through. traffic is artificially

lighter. speaking of 880, southbound is slow from about a street heading on down to union city, slow again passing the dumbarton bridge. san mateo and dumbarton bridge, not all that bid. a bob ross painting here. it's a beautiful start to the morning. if you thought yesterday was nice, it was. it was record-setting warm and probably today. san francisco tied a record high. kentfield set one. oakland downtown, tell me something i don't know. another record high for downtown oakland. they will probably set another one today. the one that stand out is livermore. that broke the old mark of 70 way back in 1919. mountain view, 71. napa airport 71 were records. today it will be closer. 73 in downtown napa. that would be a record. livermore would fall three shy. san francisco, a little bit more fog, i think they will style still be mild to warm.

oakland, 68. the record is 67. that's probably a done deal. san jose, 70. that will be close. san francisco starting off 52. we'll have a lot of high clouds over us. a beautiful sunrise. we'll go 66. temperatures way above average. we should be 67 to 72. everyone is way above that. a few high clouds scooting in. a little bit of fog. it's a dry week. the cloud/rain forecast. it's a wall. just an everest of high pressure. 20s, 30s, 40s for us to 52 in san francisco. brutally cold throughout the great lakes. these are the current temperatures. windchills are 20, 25 below. it will even get colder thursday night and friday from that system dropping down which will reinforce the arctic blast. the snow is beginning 6 to 12 inches in parts of the northeast. it will end up with sunshine. a lot of 20s up into lake county. a couple of reports coming in. about 24 to 27 degrees. a little system right there. maybe enhancing some of that fog a wee bit. mostly sunny, fog near the coast, parts of the city.
