7:03 am
less than 5 minutes. that's a good time to get down from the airport. leaving downtown oakland or driving through oakland. it has not been a problem for you. also looking at the bay bridge toll plaza, most of the traffic there in the middle, it's about a 25 minute delay getting into san francisco. or 25 minute drive time getting into the city. that includes your time on the upper deck, which is actually pretty good. in the santa clara valley, we don't see a lot f of slow traffic. normally we have a lot of slow traffic through here. it's a little slow. you can see 280 looks pretty good and so does 85. i would take advantage while i can of this good santa clara valley commute. 7:03. let's go back to the desk. >> thank you sal. and we continue to follow developing news through san jose this morning, where one of the suspects in a home invasion was apparently shot and killed. this is the city's 8th 8th homicide of the year. janine de la vega is in san jose, she has been following all the twists and turns in the story, and you just spoke with a neighbor about what he heard last night. >> reporter: yes, i did and
7:04 am
what we do know is that the man who lives at this home on pine ridge way told police that he was just trying to protect himself when he shot at intruders. quite a few of the neighbors heard the gun shots and one heard the get away car get away this happened in east san jose. the man who lives there told them that an intruder tried to enter his home and fired shots in his direction. that resident says he got a gun and shot at the man to defend himself. two suspects got into a vehicle and sped off. >> there were 8 shots, i think. and i don't see nothing. >> reporter: yeah, it was a neighbor that you just heard from. now, soon after the shooting, a man was dropped off at a nearby hospital with at least one gunshot wound. he was pronounced dead, and police believe that man is one of the intruders from the break- in on pine ridge. police sources tell me officers were able to track down the other suspect at a home near
7:05 am
capital and mclaughlin. that's about 6 miles away. now, he was injured from the shooting and taken to the hospital. sources say this doesn't appear to be a random shooting. they say the initial home break- in, they believe was targeted. homicide detectives have been conducting interviews and collecting evidence to try to piece this all together. we just got in touch with a police spokesman who is trying to give us an update. we hope to have that for you in the next hour on mornings on 2. reporting live from san jose, janine de la vega ktvu channel 2 news. time now 7:05. the investigation goes on into an early morning house fire in san leandro. it starts a about 4:00 a.m. at alvarado and castro streets. it was huge. you can see the flames from blocks away. it was a vacant house. no one was hurt. investigators say the fire started in the attic but it's not clear how the fire started. there are several other questions about that. ktvu's alex savage is there. he will have more from the fire scene coming up in our next
7:06 am
half hour. police in brentwood are investigating a double stabbing involving teenagers. investigators say two high school students suffered stab wounds after a fight broke out at city park yesterday afternoon. both teenagers are expected to survive. brentwood police believe the violence stems from a growing feud between students at two high schools in the area. >> our time now 7:05. a school in north oakland taking preemptive approach this morning to a campus threat. ktvu news has learned the school has notified parents they will lock down the campus for the day. brian flores is live at peralta elementary to tell us about safety precautions they will take. >> reporter: the school taking this proactive approach this morning. a memo was sent out to parents yesterday talking about some type of threat. you can see the gates are now open, but once students arrive here, those gates will remain closed throughout the school

7:08 am
precautionary lock down. they plan on having the school locked down today only but if the threat spills over into the weekend or next week, they will notify parents appropriately. we understand a school district official is on their way to talk to us, hopefully gather more details over the weekend. live here, brian flores ktvu channel 2 news. it's coming up on 7:08. an ac transit bus with passengers on board was caught in the middle of a deadly gun battle in oakland. it happened after 4:00 yesterday afternoon near 78th. an argument between two passengers escalated after they got off the bus. they shot at each other on the street with several bullets hitting the bus. one of the gunmen was killed. the other escaped. no one on board the bus was hurt. the fbi is trying to track down a man they describe as a violent fugitive recently spotted in the bay area. kevin brigs is wanted in connection with with assaults

7:10 am
any, help from the federal government this year. later today, federal officials will announce how much water will be released from federally regulated rivers, canals and reservoirs for drought relief. last year, farmers received about 20% of what they consider normal. and farmers may not be the only ones complaining about dry conditions soon. that's because we could be paying another 60-cents a gallon for milk by next month. the lack of water makes it difficult for farmers to grow food, like alfalfa for their dairy herds, so they have to buy food for the cows. that increases their costs and they pass that along to consumers. >> a lot of people rethinking whether they really need to have a green front lawn. the santa clara water district pays a dollar for every square foot of lawn that homeowners replace with low water landscaping. 109 people this month took advantage of that offer. it was only 27 who took
