for all californians. what should we order? (announcer) alex padilla. secretary of state. . now at noon, more jobs to fill for san jose's police department. the new rules that prompted even more resignations. >> a man run over at a san francisco gas station. how the bizarre scene unfolded and the arrest police made. >> in the wake of the isla vista tragedy, the change state lawmakers are considering regarding the mentally ill. . good afternoon. i'm tori campbell. a bay area police department already reeling from officers leaving has gotten hit again.

ktvu has learned four more san jose police officers resigned this week, shortly after learning details of the city's revamped disability policy. ktvu's katy utehs is live in san jose, where she talked with one of the officers who decided to leave. this afternoon, katy. >> reporter: good afternoon, tori. the officer i spoke with has been with the department for 22 years. he says it all comes down to the promise that if he's injured while working as an officer, his family will be taken care of. he says with the new policy, it's unclear whether or not that would happen. as of last friday, the city of san jose implemented a new policy in an effort to curb police pension costs. as we understand it, if an officer is injured on the job and doesn't qualify for disability, they would be asked to take another job within the city. it's unclear what level the officers would enter the new position at or if there would be protection from future layoffs. one of the four officers leaving this week to take jobs with the santa clara county da's office says it's the uncertainty he's afraid of.

>> really the nail in the coffin was the disability issue. at this point in my career, not being able to provide for my family if i get hurt is not good enough for me. >> with the amount of officers resigning and retiring, we're going to be in a position where we'll no longer be able to provide the protection to the citizens that they need and expect. >> reporter: the police officer's association says they expect more officers to walk out next week. the number of officers eligible for retirement within the next two years, 186 officers qualifying for full or early retirement. the poa expects many of those officers to leave the department when they can. we've reached out to the city regarding the latest officer exodus, to get their take on the disability policy. my colleague christina rendon is working on that part of the

story for later newscasts. >> thank you, katie. a shooting in west oakland this morning sent a young man to the hospital with multiple gunshot wounds and police are now looking for the gunman. the shooting happened shortly after 9:00 this morning near 26th and willow streets, near mandela parkway. emergency crews brought the victim to a hospital. his condition was not immediately available. the victim is believed to be 19 years old. there's no word on a motive, but investigators have not ruled out the possibility the shooting was gang-related. san francisco police have arrested a 30-year-old man for dui, after he ran over a man who had fallen down at a gas station. ktvu's tara moriarty spoke to the gas station attendant who witnessed the chaos. >> reporter: an attendant says a man in his late forties had been loitering for hours and was talking to two men in their thirties in a green sedan. >> the driver of the vehicle, he had a tire blow-out and him

and the passenger were attempting to change the tire. at that point, the victim had some interaction with both the driver and the passenger of the vehicle. not sure of the interaction. >> reporter: after about 15 minutes, the attendant says the older man appeared to pass out. the car passenger told him to call 911. when firefighters arrived, the attendant says the driver, who seemed drunk, decided to take off, backing up and running over the man twice. >> when the fire department showed up, he was lodged underneath the tire. in order to free his head, it was imperative that they hoist the rear end of the vehicle. >> reporter: paramedics say it was the work of quick-thinking firefighters that saved the victim's life. >> somebody had quickly found a floor jack and positioned it properly and he was fairly well trapped. and crews did an amazing job developing a rescue plan and enacting it in seconds.

they got this gentleman out. >> reporter: the attendant says the driver tried to flee, but the firefighters stopped him. the victim is at san francisco general, in critical condition, but is expected to survive. in san francisco, tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2news. opening statements are under way in los angeles in the bryan stow civil trial against the l.a. dodgers and the team's former owner. stow has been in the courtroom the past two days, as the jury of eight men and eight women were selected. the lawsuit was filed on behalf of stow and his two children. it accuses the dodgers and former owner frank mccourt, of failing to provide adequate security at the stadium on the night stow was attacked in 2011. stow's mother is expected to be the first witness to testify. his attorney estimates the cost of stow's medical care at about $38 million. the case is expected to wrap up within four weeks. a man is under arrest,

accused of forcing a young bay area girl into prosecution. investigators fear there may be more victims. 20-year-old chester brown was arrested at a stockton motel on sunday. police say it happened after a 17-year-old runaway from antioch escaped and called 911. she said brown took her to stockton and forced her into working as a prostitute. he allegedly sexually assaulted her multiple times and threatened to kill her. there were three other teenagers with brown when he was arrested. police are trying to determine if he also victimized those girls. students in seven low- performing schools in the bay area and southern california filed a class action lawsuit today over claims of lost learning time. the lawsuit against the state alleges students in high poverty schools received far less learning time than their counterparts at more affluent schools. it identifies a number of reasons, including a lack of teachers, the aftermath of

traumatic lockdowns and so- called service courses, requiring students to do office work and other tasks. nystrom elementary in richmond and oakland's castle front and fremont high schools are part of this suit. parents, teachers and students get an a for effort in their attempt to save the oldest charter school in the district. >> they have been very good to both of my daughters and i support them 100%! [ cheers & applause ] >> however, emotional pleas like that did not sway the school board, which voted at its meeting last night 4-2 to deny the charter renewal for the reams charter school, citing three reasons :poor test scores, a big drop in enrollment and major money problems. >> they were taking a loan out against future anticipated earnings, money they would receive from the state in future years in order to meet current financial obligations. they had to do that to meet payroll. that's very concerning. >> and the fight may not be

over. the leadership of the school can appeal to the county school board and if necessary, the state board of education. candlelight vigil is planned for tonight on the campus of san jose's leland high school in honor of george chen. the 19-year-old uc santa barbara student was among the six people killed in friday night's shooting and stabbing rampage. two other bay area students, 20- year-old james hong of san jose, and 20-year-old david wang of fremont, were also killed. chen graduated from leland high just two years ago. the vigil begins at 8:30 tonight at the campus' main quad. the isla vista tragedy is also prompting democratic leaders in sacramento to push for change in the way california's criminal justice system treats the mentally ill. senate president pro tem darryl steinberg says he wants to expand programs that favor treatment over punishment. he's behind a package of proposals that calls for law enforcement officials to undergo improved training and

how to safely deal with people who are mentally ill, homeless, or addicts. steinberg says tragedies like last week's mass shooting can instruct lawmakers on how to move forward with such reform policies. during next tuesday's primary election in california, voters will choose which two candidates will face-off in november in the race for governor. governor brown is expected to easily win the top spot in the primary. the battle is for the spot on the november ballot opposing brown. two republican candidates are in the lead. assemblyman tim donnelly and former treasury official. recent polls show 42% of republican voters are still undecided. >> all the polls have come out recently showing a lead for assemblyman donnelley still, but a huge number of undecided this late in the election is pretty surprising. >> a new poll from the hoover institution shows 36% of people surveyed say they plan to vote

for governor brown, 12% for donnelley, and 5% for koshkari. plans are moving forward for the golden gate bridge's first full closure due to construction, allowing crews to install the long-awaited movable traffic barrier. the installation is planned for next january 10-12. the $30 million barrier will replace the yellow plastic tubes currently separating traffic. the last time the golden gate was closed to traffic was for its 50th anniversary celebration in 1987. cheap auto care service by random mechanics in a parking lot. why the city says it wants this practice to end. >> sunny skies this noon time. we're tracking a change as we head into the weekend. your bay area forecast is next. . >> and this bay area student is spelling her way to the top. we'll tell you how she's doing today, during the semifinals of the scripps national spelling bee.

. it's cheap, but is it legal? free-lance mechanics fixing cars in the parking lot of an oakland auto parts store. ktvu's sal castaneda is live with the controversy over the casual repair shop. >> reporter: good afternoon.

this parking lot here, the autozone parking lot is where some of this under-the-table, or black market mechanic shop is, or couldn't even call it a shop. officials want it to stop. now, some people who live in the neighborhood have complained of oil spills and auto parts being left all over the place. oakland city council woman leslie brooks told the san francisco chronicle she is working with police and property managers here to end the practice. she says it's a risk for the consumer and the city doesn't get any tax money. autozone itself says it has no power to stop people from doing it. but others say these mechanics are looking to make a living in east oakland, where there is little sign of economic recovery. >> these guys once had a job. for some reason or other, became unemployed. you got to do the next best thing to put food on the table. >> reporter: still, others say it gives low income people a way to get their cars fixed when they can't afford to go to a shop where labor rates are

often $90 an hour or more. chris carter of oakland says he got his car fixed here for a low price. >> they fixed my car, had it started, went out and the guy replaced the starter and everything. >> how much? >> he charged me 25. >> that's a low price. >> that's a low price! >> reporter: carter also says he is against police coming here to chase away mechanics. he says he wants police to focus on more serious crime. we did reach out to the property manager here and apparently, this is a touchy subject because not only did she not have a comment, but kicked us off the property. so we're on the sidewalk now. we've been watching this and so far, probably because we're here, we haven't seen anyone working on cars. live in oakland, sal castaneda, ktvu channel 2news. >> thank you, sal. right now, the san leandro police department is hosting a fitness challenge and charity event involving almost 40 s.w.a.t. agencies from northern california. s.w.a.t. officers are working hard in an

anne roche foundation. it will end with a grand finale at marin fire station number 1. last year, the relay raised more than $40,000 to hepburn victims and provide education. we know golden state warriors guard steph curry is great on the court. he received the kia community assist award, in recognition of his work in the community and ongoing philanthropic and charitable work. >> truly humbled to accept this award and inspiration and encouragement, continued efforts to make them bigger and better. that's what this is all about. >> he is doing charitable work for groups such as the nothing but nets campaign, which distributes bed nets in tanzania and the make a wish foundation. the man behind hidden cash has moved his social media treasure hunt down south. just a while ago he tweeted

he'll drop $1000 in los angeles today and may give away bernie man tickets or even what he calls a travel scholarship. hidden cash has given out more than $6000 since starting the treasure hunts here in the bay area last week. he now has 266,000 twitter followers, up from 249,000 earlier this morning. can you spell gaufinesin? that's what a bay area girl tried to do today in order to move on. >> g-l-a-u-c-e-s-c-e-n-t? >> correct.

cupertino. championship round takes place tonight. can you spell sunny? that's what we have across the area. we didn't have any fog this morning at all. santa rosa in the 70s. city's in the 70s. oakland, concord, also san jose, so everyone's pretty close. we did have really cool lows this morning, half moon bay airport dipping to 41 degrees. a little of what we call coastal eddy down on southern california, giving them fog. some of that might take the turn tonight into tomorrow and give us fog. today, it's sunny side up and temperatures definitely warming up. if you're having problems with the allergies, oak and olive on the trees and grasses continue to be very high. olive seems to be going nuts lately. temperatures, warming from yesterday. we had 83 at napa, we'll go 86 today. san francisco, 67, today up to 73. concord from 81 to 85. san jose yesterday, 76.

we'll go 81 degrees. there's that kind of fog bank and a little lowdown off southern california. it did not move up the coast at all. clear skies. we are expecting the fog to come back tomorrow because of a north wind in the valley, still have a red flag advisory. mainly 70s, but there are a couple 80s popping up south. fairfield says we're 80. walnut creek said 81. lot of upper 60s this morning and hardly any breeze. a little westerly at oakland. this is starting -- this being the wind direction, santa rosa, also napa. if that goes south, that's a sign fog is on the way. i think we'll top output right about as forecast, which is a lot of 80s. tomorrow, we'll deal with a lot of fog. today is a good day to go to the coast, nice and warm, or down in the desert, where it's really warm. near 100 in palm springs. looking for clear skies and a little breeze. higher elevations out to the valley as well. this will be a warm day. after that, we go into a rather extensive cooling trend

starting tomorrow and take us all the way into early or middle of next week. one low here, another one combining together to give us a series of weak little systems dropping in. we could sure use that in the wintertime and it would bring rain. today, it's sunny and warm. 60s, 70s and 80s, very close, all above seasonal averages. normal highs this time of year, 65 to 80 degrees, so we'll be above that, coast, bay and also inland. after today, i have to say the 80s will be hard-pressed to come in, unless it's really far inland. we'll see a lot of 60s, drizzle on the coast. fog increases friday, really picks up in intensity saturday. then we might stay here a little while as temperatures go below average for a little bit. >> well, it's not bad. it helps the drought situation. >> that's right. >> thank you, steve. privacy concerns are forcing a coffee company's hand. the data it's been collecting about its customers and what it's going to do differently

lunch to all its employees. we're learning that a popular chain of coffee stores in the bay area is changing its marketing strategy due to privacy concerns. back in 2012, phil's coffee partnered with a retail analytics firm called euclid. euclid installed devices in phil's locations that pick up the wi-fi signal of customers' phones or tablets without their permission. the devices store data about how often customers visit and how long they stay. some customers said they are glad to see the technology go. >> it's good if they are responding to what customers want and sounds like a smart decision. >> euclid's website says phil's started using the technology so it could understand each store's personality. we're told phil's will stop using the devices by this weekend. and the oakland zoo is celebrating a new arrival. a baboon named mimi, now a week old, can be seen daily by zoo visitors. mimi is the third baboon to be
