7:03 am
the driver did not make the turn. the turkeys need to be loaded onto another truck and then they will right the truck and make sure the diesel -- there's no more diesel spilled on the road. avoid that offramp. chp thinks it will be closed until 10:00. as you go to 580, this accident we just talked about is not affecting the freeway, but 580 is really slow this morning coming in all the way through livermore. one solid line of slow traffic. 680 out of pleasanton is very slow. unlike yesterday, we had a lot of slow traffic all over the place. we also have slow traffic on 880 south from 238 all the way down into fremont. bay bridge toll plaza is backed up for a 25, 30-minute delay. it was an earlier stalled vehicle on that span. the traffic is going to be a little bit slower than usual. back to the desk. all right. thank you, sal. a memorial has been set up at a street corner in alameda county where a speeding car hit and killed a young teenager. witnesses say the vehicle was

7:05 am
sirens on at the time. after striking the boy at the intersection, witnesses say this driver didn't even slow down. deputies were not able to catch up with that car and the driver involved in that deadly crash remains on the run this morning. one man who pulled under here to this scene shortly after -- pulled up here to the scene shortly after the boy was hit is hoping the driver was caught. >> i don't think it's right that a man who did something like this should be free. he hit the kid. he should pay his dues. >> reporter: sheriff's investigators say at times during last night eight chase, the car was driving on the wrong side of the road. apparently, deputies were trying to stop the car for reckless driving, although we're trying to find out if the driver may have been wanted for another crime. we reached out to a sheriff's spokesman for more information. we'll get an update on this investigation at some point here at the scene this morning. a spokesperson is headed out
7:06 am
here. we do understand the deputies involved in last night's pursuit that ended with the death of a 14-year-old boy will all be on paid leave for the time being. we're live this morning near san leandro, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. time is 7:05. menlo park police are investigating a deadly officer- involved shooting it happened yesterday afternoon near middlefield and willow roads right near the headquarters of sunset magazine. investigators say three police officers were responding to a burglary call spotted a suspicious man outside an office park. >> a foot pursuit ensued. one of the officers deployed his taser. at that time, an adult male suspect pulled a weapon. >> an officer then fired on the suspect who was pronounced dead at the scene. it's still not clear if the suspect ever fired his weapon. 7:06. police in san mateo warning about a dangerous e-mail. this one falsely reporting a child predator in the
7:07 am
neighborhood. it's really a scam e-mail. if you open it, it installs malway to steal user names, passwords and credit card information. now, according to police, the e- mail claims to be announcing neighborhood safety information. it tells you that a child predator just moved into your area. police say don't open that e- mail or click on any links related to it. happening today, a lake at san francisco's presidio will be filled with poison on purpose. they are trying to get rid of invasive fish. this will happen at mountain lake. it's a four-acre pond. they will put 50 gallons of the poison pumped into the water. scientists say getting rid of the fish will help restore the ecosystem. the presidio trust group took photos of the fish dumped there and repopulated. it includes catfish, carp, sturgeon and pet goldfish. scientists have tried but failed to get rid of the fish
7:08 am
without using poison but today that poison will be pumped in and then the dead fish will be removed. now, fish aren't the only marine life found at mountain lake. about two decades ago, a three- foot long alligator nicknamed the golden gator was captured there. the workers tried to trap it for two months before a curator at the zoo caught it with a rod and raw fish. the allegateert was taken to the -- alligator was taken to the zoo. it's believed it was a discarded pet and turned into the lake. we could learn the outcome of the mayor's race in alameda. 129 votes are all that separate the two candidates. trish spencer holds a thin lead over marie gilmore. election workers had yesterday off for veterans day but officials released an updated vote count. nancy pelosi's influence on house democrats is being put to the test with a race to fill an

7:29. a picture of a e. we're live at the chabot space and science center where a watch party is underway for a historic but potentially hazardous landing happening in outer space. brian flores has been talking with scientists and spectators there. coming up in minutes, he will tell us the challenges that are adding to the drama of this risky mission and show us some brand-new photos of the probe and it reminds me of the interstellar movie that i saw. adding more interest, i think. good morning. welcome to "mornings on 2." i'm tori campbell. >> i'm dave clark. let's talk about weather and traffic. still nippy in the air. >> still cool. fall-like finally. ing m. there are some breaks in the clouds. that's a -- the system gets closer, it will ramp up the low
7:31 am
cloud deck. it's lifted it pretty high. it's probably maxed itself out. the tail end of the system will drag across us later tonight. still hasaways to go. but temperatures settled in the 60s. it's incredibly cold for some. so early in the season. even seattle is at 31 degrees. it says 32. billings 4 below. coldest maximum temperature. 25 in oklahoma city even dallas made it down to 31 degrees. chicago, 25. for us, 50s for most, 40s for some, especially they will draw the line to the north and the south of that. 50s to near 60 degrees. 57 foster city, belmont is in there. 55 menlo park and also los altos hills. not a lot left to the system. it looks like it will give us around .10 to maybe .30 or so. amounts have come down a little bit. i expect that. every system seems to do that. might be stronger systems next week. we'll see. mostly cloudy. 60s for highs today. a lot of 60s here. in fact, i think they will stay here all the way into the
7:32 am
weekend. sal, any improvement on that big rig that overturned very early this morning? >> early this morning. we're about to show you a live picture of that, steve. we're also looking at the other commutes. we'll start there at the toll plaza because a lot of people ask what is it doing? that shapes the morning commute and you will see about a 25 to 30-minute delay. we had a couple of earlier stalls. minor troubles on the bridge. right now, it looks pretty good getting into san francisco. i say pretty good, i mean there are no stalled vehicles. this is northbound and southbound 880. not too bad. usually the slow traffic doesn't start until after 8:00 heading north, on the right- hand side. we still have the alcosta boulevard offramp from southbound 608 closed because of an overturned truck loaded down with turkeys. the turkeys had to be removed and the truck has to be righted before this ramp is reopened and chp says that will be about 10:00 this morning. as you can see, this is a live picture of the cleanup popration continuing here.
7:33 am
southbound, 680 alcosta boulevard. that ramp is closed. it will be for the rest of the morning commute. at 7:32. back to the desk. >> all right. happening right now, we could be just moments away from seeing history in the making. a spacecraft and probe that lawn fned ten years ago -- that launched ten years ago is a couple of miles away from possibly landing on a comet. ktvu's brian flores, live at chabot space and science center. they are watching a watch party over there. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, dave. this doesn't get more exciting, does it? this is exciting stuff. we could be seeing history in the making. we're live here inside the science center. we're in the rotunda area. inside is the planetarium where about 130, 150 people are attending the watch party. it's pretty loud in there. certainly exciting stuff. in fact, the probe well as the spacecraft have been transmitting pictures, a couple of them that we can show you. this one that we just got a
7:34 am
couple of minutes ago, shows the spacecraft, the probe, actually descending onto the comet which is about 316 miles away from the planet earth. it's reaching there. it's almost there. so hopefully, it will land on their safely. the second picture i want to show you which was about an hour ago shows the probe descending -- actually separating from the spacecraft. that spacecraft took off from planet earth back in 2004. again, it's taken ten years to reach the comet which is over 300 millions miles from earth. there have been chaps throughout the mission. there's still some challenges ahead. the main one is landing the probe onto the comet. it can't be manually controlled from mission control, so basically this is it. because of the distance from earth to the comet as well scientists say it takes about 30 minutes to reach earth. so we won't know for sure until it possibly confirmation that it landed on the comet until roughly around 8:00 this morning.
7:35 am
there are some things scientists have learned already. >> it's not the shape they expected it to be at all. this is what we call a contact. this was once two objects that fused together. that's what gave it that unusual shape which made the landing even more challenging. it didn't have a nice even surface. but learned a little bit about a composition. it has carbon dioxide, it has water. we expect there is a lot of water, ice on the comet. as the comet gets closer to the sun, that water/ice, evaporates and gives off gas. >> reporter: the comet is about 2 and a half mile acs across. they say if it lands successfully, it is expected to last until the end of december. if it continues on, it could last longer. again, depending depending on the orbiting spacecraft and the probe. about 130 people are inside the
7:36 am
planetarium taking a look at the live feed from the european space agency. want to mention one thing. there's been a lot of reference to this movie armageddon that many of us have seen. the only thing that they say is scientifically correct about it, the gravetational slingshot of that -- scientists say the spacecraft had to do this twice around the sun to gain enough speed. once it got closer to mars, it had a slingshot to main more speed. overall, very interesting stuff. hopefully we'll hear confirmation later on this morning whether the probe did land. we're live at the chabot space center, brian flores, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. 7:36. we want to take you live to san leandro right now. a news conference is happening right now. this is officer nelson. he's giving the latest on a
7:37 am
chase last night that ended with a car hitting and killing a young boy. >> what occurred, that would be chp. >> wouldn't they be able to get the license plates on the car? >> we are looking some leads. we're bound and determined to catch this guy. >> the fact that you guys haven't released a suspect vehicle, does that mean up don't want to release it because you don't want to make them aware of the information you might have? >> well, i don't know if that's 100% correct. we're not releasing that at this point. again, part of this is because it's a chp thing. not us. but believe me when i tell you, the sheriff's investigators are actively checking all leads to bring this person to justice. >> [the question is inaudible] >> my understanding, three minutes or less.
7:38 am
>> right. that was -- the deputy that initially started the pursuit never saw the child get hit. when the other deputy did see the child get hit, he reengaged it because he knew that kid had been seriously, seriously injured. in fact, he was killed. brrk the question is inaudible] >> well, multiple. we have the deputies themselves and then in this case, that's exactly what happened. he canceled his own pursuit. that happens a lot for us. we also have sergeants monitoring it and a watch commander monitoring it. that's all done in accordance with our policies. >> we've been listening live to a live news conference. this is sheriff sergeant jd nelson bringing us the latest on the continuing search right now in the area of san leandro. last night, a pursuit chasing a car, a suspect car, a car ended
7:39 am
up hitting a young man and killing him. now, the police are still -- and then the car took off and they are still searching for the car. jd nelson said they are working on several leads. they are determined to catch them -- catch whoever was driving that car. this is a continuing investigate. we'll bring you more information as it comes into our newsroom. but you heard it live from near san leandro and we'll stay on this story throughout the morning. 7:39. in east san jose, a woman was hit and killed by a suspected drunk driver. now, she was carrying clothing or laundry on south king road around 4:30 yesterday afternoon when she was hit and died there at the scene. the driver did stop. is now facing charges of dui. this was the 21st pedestrian death in san jose this year. last year, 26 pedestrians or bicyclists died in san jose. this morning, the 4-year- old boy who fell more than 200
