she saw old navy rock star super skinny jeans $27 for a size 6 by the same jeans in a size 26 for $40. she understands paying more for plus size clothing, but she has a problem with the difference for the slim fit jeans for men there is no price difference. it's the same cost regardless of size. she says that's offensive and it's discriminatory pricing. she is calling on a fair price for all genders regardless of size. we spoke with some shoppers this morning and they agree. >> i don't think that's fair whether it was for men or women to charge more for plus sizes. i don't think it's justifiable. maybe there is more material cost involved in making those clothes. if they are going to do that, they should to it for men and women equally. >> reporter: again, old navy sticking by its decision to charge more for plus size women's skinny jeans. they say they charge higher prices because it cost more to manufacture due to extra features like curve flattering

green earth in america that ten through 12-year-old boys should have to watch one of their role models take a bullet and die in his front yard! >> passionate words from richmond high school basketball coach robert collins about his point guard and team leader rodney phrase are. the 16-year-old was shot and killed in the front yard of his family home in richmond friday night and his killer is still on the loose. frazier's death underscores what police say is a bigger problem in the east bay community. a recent wave of violent crime. eight shootings in the past week. >> and ktvu's pam cook and richmond police chief chris magnus joining us live in the studio to talk about the call for justice and for peace. pam. >> yeah, that's right. i am so glad you are here this morning, chris. chris magnus. and the words from that coach this week, i mean really, i think, just exemplifies what a lot of people feel. very emotional and very angry with what's going on. i know your words last night at the vigil, you said violence crime is an outcome we can

influence. what do you mean by that? >> we know there are a lot of things that contribute to violent crime. so when we invest in the right things to get some of the young people that are committing some of these crimes off the streets and into recreation programs, we have a great urban gardening program in richmond. there is a lot of different activities. we got to get kids out of that kind of gang lifestyle and into other programs and services. >> reporter: i think what people are angry about really in particular with this kid is that he was involved in those things. he was a good kid. and then he ended up being a victim anyway. that's what people are really upset about. i mean, what can you do about innocent people just wanting to be in their front yard? >> yeah. it should never be like that where someone just outside their house is shot, and particularly tragic when it's a 16-year-old. this happened in unincorporated richmond. obviously, we feel it throughout the community. so what we have to do is keep building relationships out

there so we can get information about the individuals who are involved in this. we have a lot of programs geared towards some of the young men that are doing some of this shooting. we have a ceasefire program that our folks are involved in. >> reporter: tell me about that. tell me what ceasefire is specifically. >> it identifies young men that are involved in the shootings in advance. and then we do call-ins or home visits where we give them a choice of services and resources, job opportunities, other kinds of things to get them out of that lifestyle, or, say, really the heavy hand of the law is going to come down. there are no breaks. we are watching everything that they do. we do a lot of compliance checks, parole checks. these are the kind of choices. and then if they continue the activity, there is really a consequence to that. >> reporter: and you were talking about a lot of the violence, kids involved in gangs. you say recently a lot of girls involved in social media and the next thing is escalating to some sort of violence and you were telling me these are kids, they just don't know how to handle a

conflict. how can you improve on that? >> that's exactly right. several of these shootings have stemmed from inner personal beefs between young high school-aged girls who have posted things on social media that have gotten the other upset. again, it's a matter of working with schools, working with community groups to do anger management. get people thinking about how to resolve conflict without resorting to weapons. then making sure that there are adequate police out there so we can really provide consequences if people are going to make the wrong choices. >> reporter: really quick before we have to go, unfortunately, i want to point out that the number of killings actually has decreased. 2012, 2013, 2014 it's on a better trend. are you hopeleful about this next year? >> i am. we have done a lot of things that have worked in richmond. we are down from close to 50 homicides just a few years ago. we have had 13 so far this year. that's 13 too many, nonetheless. but we do know how to make things better and with a good community partnership i think

we can continue down that path of lowering crime and making this a safe community. >> reporter: chief magnus, thank you so much for coming in this morning. >> pleasure. >> all right. thank you, pam. time is 7:36. police in oakland are looking for whoever shot and killed a man yesterday afternoon. police say they received several calls about gunshots and a person down at 70th and weld street around 4:15 yesterday. officers found a man on the street with a gunshot wound to the head. he was pronounced dead at the scene. there is no word of an arrest or the identity of the victim. your time now 7:37. happening today members of san francisco's fire commission will once again discuss the job performance of the embattled fire chief. their agenda includes a closed door session. they will review a employee performance evaluation of the fire cheech. many rank and file firefighters repeatedly say they have lost confidence in her leadership. she has been at the snow of the controversy over long delays in

recovery. the one world trade center is the tallest building in the country at more than 1700 feet. with the spire at the tomorrow 1776 feet. yeah, scary moments. >> can you imagine the stories they have to tell in. sal has story about the east shore. can you take care of our folks out there? >> well, i am just going to take care of them, dave and tori, and take care of you. this is your commute. i want to let you know that it's not the a normal commute today. you probably already know this. the east shore freeway is taking more than an hour to drive between the carquinez bridge and the macarthur maze. now, when there is no traffic, remember it takes about 18 minutes. but that is out the window this morning. i want to show you how slow it is. really pretty much just after the carquinez bridge and all the way down in one solid long line of stop and go traffic through pinole, richmond, all the way

to berkeley. part of it has to d with the bay bridge being slow and part of it has to do with people slowing down because of the wet weather. southbound 680 on the bownesia bridge is slow. 780 and 680 approaching that span. from concord to walnut creek a lot of slow traffic. this culminates at the bay bridge toll plaza. it is backed up. if you counting it's taking 45 minutes if you are in the regular cash lanes. and again if you are driving on the peninsula we have had a couple of issues. northbound 280 at 380 we had an accident. skyline boulevard and highway 280 are very slow. almost everywhere is slow today so you have to give yourself extra time. 7:48. steve we, knew the weather would do this to traffic. it's not going to do this this evening? >> no, i don't think there will be much in the way of any rain. maybe next week, although there is no con census on it. the one positive is that this system undercut the ridge of high pressure. that did not happen in january, february, march.

so a little bit of a twist even though that polar air is a continuation of what we have seen for the last 11 months in the middle. country. breaks in the clouds. if you are still getting rain, it's about done. not much. napa .12. santa rosa .10. there was a lot more than that in marin county. i will show new a second. .29 in san francisco. san jose .14. other areas were dry. blossom hill at .01. concord only .10-inch. mount tam over three-quarter. cobb mountain and lake county three-quarter. mill valley .62 there. middletown and lake county .62 or 63 i think it was. santa cruz mountains at .61 with boulder creek. sausalito .48. danville .47.

dublin and livermore .3. so okay. okay. it held together. and it is a positive sign that it comes underneath the ridge of high pressure. that's called the undercutting and that usually doesn't show up until the winter months. maybe it's a sign of things to do am. i hope so. underneath the radar beam you might be getting a little bit of light rain on 580 from livermore altamont pass it tracy. a little bit of rain. santa cruz mountains things are about done. 46 in tahoe. not good for snow. above 7500 feet. this is warm system. 13 below in denver had this morning. incredibly cold down to the gulf. i mean, you are seeing really cold temperatures and that lake effect snow is on the go and that stacks up. it's been going three days for some. chicago, cleveland, buffalo, parts the of michigan. for us the system is moving out. 60s on the temps. really mild. this is again a mid latitude system. the breeze is okay for some. especially along the san mateo coast. half moon day daly city okay.

that seems to be the focus where the breeze is. otherwise mostly cloudy skies. a lot of cloud cover streaming at us but nothing organized as the rain starts to move north towards crescent city. 60s on your temps. i don't think these are going to change too much. it will be muggy, kind of humid even though we had a lot of fog right now for some as our system moves through. looks like the rain moves north. a lot of cloud cover. maybe next week we will deal with that. >> we are getting rain next week, hopefully, but later? >> they are going very wet to very dry. flip-flopping back and forth. >> before we go, you and i were talking about a sports legend a couple of days ago. former san francisco giant manager alvin darth died this morning. >> oh. >> at the age of 92. i just got a message about that. >> thank you. time is now 7:51. a major move to prevent traffic related deaths in the south bay and coming up in the next hour

welcome back to "mornings on 2". they want to become the first police department in northern california to use aerial drones for surveillance. the department held a public hearing last fight at san jose city hall trying to calm fears and the rumors about invasion of privacy. the department admitted it made a mistake when it bought a seven thousand dollars drone system back in january without checking first with the city council or the community. the police say they want to use the drone to help the bomb squad, active shooter situations and search and rescue operations. >> it is not currently in use and will not be used unless or

until it is determined that this technology is right for san jose. >> we can live with liberty and not all feel like we are criminals. >> well, the aclu wants more transparency and more oversight regarding police surveillance. the group says l.a. is the only other city in california that has a drone. the white house says president obama is nearing a final decision on what executive actions he will take on immigration. the president has vowed to act on immigration before the end of this year.  immigration activists want the president to stop deportations. fox news says it has obtained a ten-part plan on the -- that the president is set to present. it reportedly includes a provision that would allow the parents of u.s. - born children to stay in the country. the plan also boosts border security and raises pay for immigration officers. republicans who will control both the house and the senate starting in january have

i will deal with that tomorrow. sal has been a busy man. any improvement. slow. another tree is blocking a couple of muni lines. we had the tree down on turk street near steiner. steiner street and turk and eddie. so this is one of those mornings. i just want to mention on the freeways, we have had a lot of slow traffic out there. let's begin with live pictures. bay bridge backed up for about a 45-minute drive into san francisco and really has been very slow getting into the city. if you are driving on 880 northbound it's beginning to slow down right in front of the coliseum. and again as steve mentioned, the weather is going to move through. the morning commute ruined when it comes to drive times. double or triple drive times everywhere. as we look at the map of the south bay 85 is very slow. probably the slowest. 280 is almost filled in. so is 101. pretty much ever compute you see is going to be -- commute you see is going to be slow. if you had to ask me which the

slowest commute in the bay area was i am going to scroll up to the east shore freeway that is backed up after the carquinez bridge. more than an hour for that drive. we are learning more this morning about a deadly officer-involved shooting outside a concord mall. ktvu as alex savidge is outside the willows shopping center to explain why police say they were forced to open fire. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning to you. concord officers shot and killed a man they say was ramming a stolen car into a police patrol car. it happened here in the back part of the parking lot at the willow shopping center in concord last night. and this deadly confrontation came at the end of a dangerous chase. it was a pursuit that began at around 8:45 last night. the pursuit was originally started by the contra costa sheriff's department. their deputies were chasing a man who was driving a honda, a white stolen honda on highway

4. the man then ditched that stolen car at sun valley mall and investigators say he took off running and he made his way across 680, across the freeway over to the willow shopping center. police say that's where the man carjacked a driver and tried to drive off. concord police officers moved in and boxed that man in. that's when the man rammed his stolen car into a squad car, according to investigators. it was all a desperate attempt to try to escape. and that's when at least one officer opened fire killing the man. it was a frightening situation for people working in the shopping center. >> my dad came inside. he said get down, get down. i didn't know what to do. so our whole store went in lockdown. we can't except any calls. nothing. >> reporter: police say they were force to shoot in this situation to protect themselves and members of the public in had shopping center. now a team of investigators will be piecing together what happened out here. that will include members of the contra costa district

attorney's office, the sheriff's department, and the concord police department. police are not identifying the man who was shot to death out here last fight, but they do say that he is a convicted felon. we are live this morning in concord, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. time is 8:04. there is a new development in the case of a teenager boy who was hit and killed by a car tuesday night in the san lorenzo area. the chp says it has found the car that struck the boy as it was being pursued by the police. it's a maroon 2001 saturn. it was found in fremont off interstate 880. the driver is still on the loose. last night the family and friends of 14-year-old ivan cruz held this candlelight vigil at the spot where ivan died. ivan was a freshman at san lorenzo high school. his mother and two older sisters can't understand why this happened. >> i don't even know what to feel. it's not anger.

it's not anything. i just want him back. >> the alameda county sheriff's deputies are trying to pull the suspect's car over because he was driving erratically and that's when the drive ran a red light and hit ivan who was in the crosswalk. he was holding one his prized possessions. a scooter he had received for christmas. san jose may hold a special election to name a new member to the city council. councilman chu's seat is opening up after he was elected to the state assembly. the special election may be held in march, but another option is for council members to just appoint someone to the seat. the last time that happened was 1994. in most recent cases, elections were held for vacancies. one of the bay area's closest election has been decided. the city of alameda has a new mayor after more than a week of counting the ballots.

trish spencer beat marie gilmore in a race decided by just 129 votes. spencer is a member of the alameda school board. she campaigned against new housing on the city-owned golf course and also the pace of development of the former navy base at alameda point. it's 8:07. the heroic actions of san francisco police officers are being recognized. dozens were awarded the medal of valor last night. it's given by the department to officers who show exceptional bravery in the line of duty. this year many of the officers received awards for their actions after the crash rushing to help rescue more than 300 people. >> they entered a crash site and located themselves immediately outside of the burning aircraft. severely damaged rapidly leaking fuel and on fire, a great risk of explosion and death for all. >> this year eight officers received the gold medal of valor. 25 received the silver medal.

seven more the brands. more than 33,000 people have already signed an online petition against the clothing retailer old navy. they are accusing old navy of charging more for plus size jeans for women than they do for pants for big men. ktvu's brian flores live at an old navy store in alameda now to tell us more about this dispute and what appears to some as a double starred, brian. >> reporter: dave, good morning. it is a talker this morning. we posted this story on our ktvu facebook page. we have had a great conversation with our viewers this morning. we thank you for that. nonetheless, though, old navy and old navy's parent company gap incorporated are defending their decision to charge more for plus-size skinny jeans just for women. now, as you mentioned, dave, this started from a change.org petition. the author rene posey says she went on the old navy website to go shopping when she saw a noticeable price difference between women's skinny jeans and plus sized women's skinny

jeans. they rang in difference from 12 to $15 more for the plus size jeans. we checked the website and we saw a difference for ourselves. as an example, though, she said she saw old navy's rock star super skinny jeans sold for $27 for a size 7, but the same jeans that size 26 were $40. she says she understands paying more for plus size clothing, but where she has the problem is when you look at the difference for a slim fit jeans for men and there is no price difference. it's the same cost regardless of size. she says that's offensive and is discriminatory pricing. she is calling on fair pricing for all genders regardless of skies. here is shopper reaction we got this morning. >> i think it's pretty disit pointing, actually, because i -- dispointing actually because i feel like it further perpetuates what society says a woman is supposed to look like. >> i am surprised that they would have that policy. >> reporter: now, again old

navy sticking by its cities to charge more for plus size women's skinny jeans. the company says it charges higher prices for plus size clothing because it cost more to manufacture due to extra features like curve flattering elements like con toured waist bands which men's garments don't typically include. old navy's plus size line is only available online. some are criticizing old navy's website for creating a women's plus tab while all men's sizes are all bundled into one section. live here in alameda this morning. brian flores, ktvu channel 2 news. >> that is a talker, brian. thank you. now, ktvu viewers have been debating this issue, as brian says, on our facebook page. it's getting lots of response. in fact, dana hamilton writes, the point of the story isn't the bigger sizes cost more. it's that the bigger sizes for men don't cost more. and jamar miller of oakland writes, old navy's not the first to do that. you always pay more for bigger

sizes. kids shoes cost almost the same as adults. what do you think about this issue? should old navy charge more for larger women's clothing than for men's? ktvu viewers are debating it on our facebook page. you can join the conversation at ktvu channel 2 on facebook. >> very interesting comments there. 8:10. bill belichick officials are giving the green light to the idea of a walkway across the entire bridge. ever since a bike path opened it's been a big hit with bicyclists, joggers and walkers. the path will continue all the way to yerba island by next summer and now the toll authority has approved a proposal to tend $10 million to come up with a plan for a path on the western span. bay bridge. that would be cool. >> all right. time is now 8:10. a big scare up in the sky for the lead singer of u2. coming up next, the emergency that happened on bono's private

jet. good morning. we have some trouble in san francisco. a major street is blocked by a tree down. we also do have slow traffic all over the place. this is one of the contra costa freeways. can you barely see it because of the heavy fog and also the rain. most of the rain is about done. there are some breaks off to the west. but we are dealing with fog right now and it looks like a mild pattern. we will show you how mild and show you if there is any more rain or another one and done. female narrator: it's posturepedic versus beautyrest it's posturepedic versus beautyrest with up to $400 off. serta icomfort and tempur-pedic go head-to-head with three years' interest-free financing. mattress price wars are on now at sleep train. ♪ your ticket to a better night's sleep ♪

8:13. family members are planning a memorial service for a san francisco software developer who disappeared halloween night. earlier this week the coast guard recovered a body from the san francisco bay. there is no official identification yet, but family members say they are certain, almost certain it's 26-year-old dan hoff. >> the wallet contents and phone matched dan's personal belongings. >> the medical examiner is also trying to determine it a cause of death. relatives don't believe he took his own life. the memorial service is planned for 7:30 tomorrow night at saint matthews lutheran church. now we know the name of a woman hit and killed by a car in san jose. 74-year-old row heelia owe cho owe was hit at bash barry lane. police arrested jaime fernandez.

san jose is getting some help in trying to prevent traffic related deaths and injuries. the federal government is giving the city a $350,000 grant. the police department plans to use that money for educational programs for dui checkpoints and also to enforce distracted driving. it is 8:15. a frightening experience for the lead singer of u2. a door fell off bono's private plane while he was on a flight to germany. his lear jet was headed to berlin yesterday when a rare door ripped off 8,000 feet over the german coast. bono says he heard a thud and then the door along with some luggage flew out. the door was outside the pressurized area of the cabin so there was no loss of pressure. the lear jet was able to land safely. his bandmates flew on another flight. despite this incident, bono and u2 still performed at a concert in berlin last night. >> after a care like that they still went on. >> that's impressive. tori, let's check in with

sal at 8:15. wet roads. a lot of traffic problems this morning. >> a lot of red on your maps. >> exactly. i say this is a time not to drive all over the bay area. it's slow. we have a new problem in san francisco along a major street. a tree down. you can see this huge tree is blocking almost all of the street here. someone was actually hurt in this incident. tara moriarty is there and gathering details. firefighters have transported one person to general hospital with injuries. all right. let's move along and take -- in fact, i am moving along. i am pushing a button to the freeways. taking about an hour and 20 minutes to drive between the carquinez bridge and the macarthur maze. it really has been a terrible drive on the east shore freeway just after the carquinez bridge stop-and-go traffic. benicia bridge is slow. highway 4 and highway 680 are also super slow. when you get to the bay bridge it is backed up for a -- sorry.

did i say 20? 40 to 45-minute wait into san francisco. 20. i wish. no way. all right. let's move along and take a look at san jose. that's improving. look at 280. it has improved from downtown san jose. i think that might even be sun or something kind of like sun in our picture. let's bring steve in here. steve, south bay getting better? >> they are, sal. some breaks in the clouds. some fog w looks like most of the rain is done. if there is any rain, it's very light or drizzly. still some though. there are signs of a little bit of sun here beginning to break through after the morning rain. timing was right on the money there. and amounts were okay. i mean, the projections were about .10-inch to a half and we actually came in heavier than that. a lot of cloud cover here today. so morning rain and some foggy conditions. lots of clouds. mild and muggy. a mostly cloudy weekend as stormtracker lifts to the north. rainfall was not that good to the north. for some it was. i will get to that.

marin county was good. the expectation san rafael. napa .12. fairfield .05. hayward wasn't bad. livermore wasn't bad. santa cruz mountains not bad. some areas towards mount tam three-quarter of an inch. ben lehman two-thirds and casadaro two inches of rain. sausalito .5. dublin, livermore a third. oakland airport picked up a quarter inch plus. if there is any rain, it's light. there is still a little bit around the east bay or some areas picking up some. not a lot. altamont pass and mount diablo a quarter of an in much. there is plenty of cloud cover streaming up here. it's going to be a lot of cloud cover and not much else as the rain moves forward. 46 tahoe. this is way up there. very mild. warm system. monterey 63. not very warm. it's very, very cold all the way down to the gulf. i mean, you're getting 30s even down to part arthur,

texas. lake effect snow as that air is pushing towards new york and washington. the lake effect from chicago, i mean, cleveland, buffalo, syracuse, it has been stacking up for the last couple of days. so that arctic air remains in place. it's hard to budge that. really it's kind of like a big boulder in the stream when you have that much energy or cold air to the east. this is one positive sign. that was not the case back in january, february, or march. so maybe it's a sign of things to come. it's a little early in the season, but pretty good jetstream support in parts of the pacific at lower latitudes. 50s and 60s already on the temps. a lot of cloud cover. again just streaming across. it does not look like much organized here. maybe next week, but there is definitely not a con census on that. one model says rain. the other says, no, it's going dry. i think we'll be dry, if anything, and it won't happen until middle of next week. 60s on your highs today. looks like a lot of cloud cover over the next few days. partly cloudy to mostly cloudy. there will be some rain probably north of santa rosa over the

next few days over drizzle on the coast. we will have to deal with that. then it could warm up quickly on monday. >> all right. thank you, steve. it's 8:19. twitter getting a makeover. coming up in 20 minutes, the six big changes users may notice soon. >> plus, we told you yesterday about the thousands of pounds of frozen turkeys spilled on to the road when a truck crashed in the east bay. well, now we can tell you how something good has come out of this in time for thanksgiving.

time is 8:22. scary moments for american sailors in turkey. they were attacked by a mob shouting yankee go home. check it out. the sailors were on shore leave from their ship. they were docked in istanbul. a group of 20 men attacked them, put plastic bags over their head. the group called the turkish youth union claim responsibility for this. the navy says those three sailors were not hurt. they got back safely on to the ship. by the way, shore leave for the sailors on that ship has been canceled now. we have new details about a deadly shooting up in army veteran in southern california. los angeles police say 21-year-old francisco garcia was killed early sunday after the tagging group he was involved with got a threatening phone call. an 18-year-old man has been arrested in the case. now, police earlier said garcia had come back from afghanistan

just four months ago. however, a military official says he was never deployed overseas and he was discharged from the service in july. l.a. police later said they didn't verify his military service because he was not an aspect of either the crime or their investigation. 8:24. scientists now have an explanation for hundreds of earthquakes hitting the desert area right where california, nevada, and oregon meet up. since july, more than 800 tremors have registered in the area near sheldon national wildlife refuge. the scientists say the crust of the earth is stretching and that creates tension along a fault line there. the largest quake was a 4.7 magnitude and hit two weeks ago. the area is so remote no injuries or damage have been reported. people in southern kansas and northern oklahoma, though, were surprised by a moderate quake that hit late yesterday afternoon. the epicenter was about 30 miles southwest of wichita. no one was seriously hurt, but

some houses moved off their foundations and a few homes had damage to ceilings and roofs. one woman says she is used to tornados, but an earthquake was a new experience for her family. >> the couch started going like this we are all looking at each other going, what is this? >> the quake had a 4.8 magnitude. there have been several quakes in southern kansas this year. the state is considering installing more quake monitoring stations and launching a formal study into what is causing the increased number of tremors. time is 8:25. the news isn't all bad after that big rig filled with frozen turkeys flipped over and crashed yesterday in san ramon. we were following this all morning yesterday. the truck ended up on its side on the off-ramp of southbound interstate 680. some of the 23,000 pounds of turkeys spilled on to the road and these workers had to clean

it up. an inspector, a-hasn't inspector said the -- a health inspector said the turkeys are safe to eat. so they have been donated to the alameda county food bank. scary story. two window washers rescued from a scaffold way up on the new world trade center in new york have been released from the hospital. they were trapped on the scaffold on the 68th floor. they were out there almost two hours before firefighters were able to get to them and rescue them. that dramatic rescue comes just a little over a week since the new towers officially opened. dozens of office and construction workers spilled out there on the street to watch all of this as that scaffolding waved in the wind. >> the wind swirls are horrible the higher you go up. and that's about 1,200 feet in the air i'm guesstimating, more or less, and totally different than what you see and experience on the street. >> oh, yeah. the window washers were treated for mild hypothermia and shaken

nerves, but they are expected to make a full recovery. the one world trade center tower is the tallest building in the nation at more than 1700 feet tall. time is 8:26. a frightening rash of shootings in one east bay city. >> we need to be more than saddened. we need to be moved to action. >> the police chief of richmond was in our studios live this morning. you saw it. the latest on the recent string of violent acts. you will hear what he says can make a difference and also what the police department is doing to make richmond safe. we are live in san francisco where several trees have fallen throughout the city overnight. the latest here on 22nd and petrero snagging lines. we will tell you how someone was injured. it's very slow in many areas. we have a lot of slow traffic in the east bay. a look at highway 24 here. it's not doing very well at all on the way to the tunnel.

most of the rain is done. take a look at that and some totals. any more or is this it for the week?

good morning to you. welcome back. these are live pictures from san francisco. look at where the camera is taking you. one person has been taken to the hospital. a big -- there is it is. a country crashed down in the potrero hill neighborhood. and on top of the person being rushed to the hospital, this is affecting mass transit. this is a mess out there. ktvu's tara moriarty has arrived. she is there. she will have a live report in two minutes from now.

stay tuned. thursday morning, november 13. i am dave clark. let's check weather and traffic now. steve is following everything with i couldn't forecast. you have a lot to tell them. >> there has plenty going on. some fog out there. the rain totals were ho-hum to really good. i mean, mount tam three-quarters. cobb mountain and lake county three-quarters. ben lehman .73. mill valley .63. and cazadero .5. sausalito, danville close. dublin fire station .37. hayward .33. san francisco .29. there were heavier amounts near that. i think mount davidson had .40. and buena vista point .20. east san jose or san jose foothills still dealing with some rain there. also looks like a little bit around mount diablo. i doubt much is falling. also up towards parts of

northern mendocino county. not bad from this system which is now gone. but the higher clouds continue to stream in. it will be a cloudy to mostly cloudy day. a lot of the clouds coming from the south-southwest. so it's a mild system. 63 at sfo. we will get some drizzle in the next couple of days but any rainfall will be lighter. morning rain looks like it's about done. partly cloudy skies to mostly cloudy. 60s on these temps. here's sal, which has been a busy morning. a couple of trees down. we didn't have that much rain for crying out loud? >> yeah. just one of those things where it's just a little bit of wetness that put these trees over the edge and also the commute over the edge, steve. let's take a look at what we have now with 80 westbound bay bridge. we have had a huge backup there on 80 westbound coming up to the toll plaza. it's affecting almost every eastbound commute and if you are driving into san francisco you need to give yourself an hour to get in because you will be backed up almost everywhere, even just trying to get to the

bridge. i think an hour is kind of -- it's conservative. let's look at 880 northbound and southbound. southbound towards san lorenzo on the left that -- san leandro looks good. slow through downtown oakland. almost everywhere in the east bay is slow. 880, 680, 580 as you drive to livermore. northbound 880 slows at it 38 as we shot you all the way up past the coliseum. 8:33. back to the desk. >> thank you. we are following developing news from san francisco. one person has been taken to the hospital. a big tree crashed down in san francisco's potrero hill neighborhood. ktvu's tara moriarty is there live. this is one of several trees that fell down in the city this morning. >> reporter: this is a massive scene here, actually. it spans several blocks near

san francisco general hospital. we notice that. so ambulances trying to get into the emergency room right now are having to sort of go around. and that might be slowing down their response times here. if you look behind me it's a big smoky. that's because of the flares set up here. we have a truck coming through. but if you take a look behind me there you can see where the power lines are sagging. those are actually muni lines. we understand that one person was hurt when a tree fell and snagged those power lines. it was a man. he was taken to the hospital to be treated. we believe he has a leg injury. that is what we heard from the san francisco fire department. this is on 22nd and the potrero. we know that potrero from 21st to 24th is shut down. lines 9 and 33 are being rerouted around the tree. the sheriff's department says that we have live wires here. so no one is being allowed through. this is just one of several trees in the city that have

fallen overnight. on steiner and eddie public works crews are removing a tree that crashed three cars in front of an apartment complex on steiner near eddie around 5:00 this morning. luckily, no one was hurt. neighbors were shocked by what had they heard and then saw. >> we heard a sound and i thought it was an accident and came out on eddie and didn't see anything. so came out here and discovered it was a tree that had fallen on these cars. >> reporter: but it sounded like a car accident? >> yeah, it did. it was pretty loud. it was like the third tree around this block that fell. one here on steiner, one on eddie, and one on pierce. >> reporter: we know another tree toppled on geary and goff. another one in north beach. so four trees that we know of. and you can see this is going to take some time for crews to get all of this cleaned up here. we know that some of the power is still out so they are not only going to have to reroute the wires but again a lot of these muni buses are having to go around these three blocks of potrero. we have seen again at least one

ambulance come through here in the past ten minutes. and that ambulance was not able to get through -- was able to get through, but it took it a little longer than it normally would have because of this stuff it has to get through. the san francisco police department is going to be handling this incident and we hope to receive more information about this area and when it might be back open again for commuters. live in san francisco, tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. >> there is also a tree that fell down on lombard street in north beach. this is near the joe dimaggio playground between mason and powell streets. that street is shut down while the crews out there are cleaning up this mess. well, some marin county businesses were flooded, but not from the overnight rain. a water main break did it. it was first reported yesterday afternoon in downtown. gushing water flooded businesses that forced a lot of business 20s rush out of their shops. at least two of those

businesses had a lot of water damage. the people in downtown san ansalmo are used to problems because of frequent flooding of moore by creeks during a big storm. >> we generally panic because we get a close call every year. most of the merchants have floodgates and there is a lot of sandbags in town. >> the public work crews were able to fix a broken waterline shortly after midnight and this morning they will be checking the damage. there is no way on this green earth in america that 10 to 12-year-old boys should have to watch one of their role models take a bullet and died in this front yard! >> passionate words from richmond high school basketball coach about the 16-year-old who was shot and killed in the front yard of his family home in richmond friday night. and his killer is still on the loose. rodney frazier's death packed renewed calls for peace in richmond from the community and the police.

ktvu's pam cook is in the studio with this morning's comments from the richmond police chief. good morning, pam. >> reporter: good morning. violent crime is an outcome we can influence. those are the words from richmond police chief chris magnus who spoke with us live this morning on "mornings on 2" in the last hour. he says what that means is that everyone can make a difference in reducing crime. more police officers on the streets doing active community policing. more officers get to know the people in the neighborhood. the good guys and the bad guys. the chief also talked about the importance and success of richmond's ceasefire program where officers make home visits and present kids who are involved in violent behavior with better options. >> we give them a choice of services and resources, job opportunities, other kinds of things to get them out of that lifestyle, or say really the heavy hand of the law is going to come down. >> reporter: now, if they continue the activity there are serious consequences after that home visit.

the chief also says it's important to continue and expand on school programs that help kids deal with conflict in a healthy and constructive way. now, we should point out that deaths are down significantly in richmond from 50 a few years ago to 13 this year. the chief says if the community stays involved and connected to police, it will continue to get better. tori. >> all right. thank you, pam. 8:39. happening today members of the san francisco's fire commission will once again discuss the job performance of the city's embattled fire chief. their agenda includes a closed door session to review an employee performance evaluation of fire chief joanne hayes white. many rank and file firefighters have repeatedly stated they have lost confidence in her leadership. the chief has recently been at the center of the controversy over long delays in ambulance response times. 18,000 kaiser nurses have left the picket line and say they are now eager to get back to the bargaining table.

the nurses spent the past two days picketing outside hospitals and clinics across northern california. the two-day strike was tied to an on going contract dispute with the nurses demanding better staffing, training and equipment. kaiser says it's responded to all of the nurses' protesters and doesn't know why they decided to go on strike. this morning the european space agency is releasing more photos of the probe that land and a small comet yesterday. the pictures are quite clear, but what they show may create some concerns. the first photo shot -- shows one of the craft's three legs is not level. it could be wedge inside a pit. they say the probe appears to have come to rest in the shadow of a cliff. that presents a potential problem for the solar panels which need sunlight to recharge its batteries. if it can't recharge, the

probe's usefulness will be limited to just the 60 hours it has left in its current bat. >> reporter: it's something we all deal with. but there is nowhere you can plug it in and recharge it. >> time is 8:40. a new study out examining when men and women reach their sexual peak. you may be surprised by the results and by who conducted this study. old navy under a bit of controversy this morning. it all has to do with the price of skinny jeans for both machine and women. coming up, why some say it's a double standard and reaction from the company as well. good morning. we are looking at a commute that's just horrible everywhere. as a matter of fact, if you look at 280 in san jose still slow getting into the west valley. another update straight ahead. a lot of cloud cover out there. still kind of a mist or fog. looks like most of the rain is done. we will look at the totals coming up.

alameda. you are getting lots of reaction from shoppers, brian? >> reporter: quite a talker this morning. we posted this on our ktvu facebook page. we have had a great conversation with our viewers. they are defending their decision to charge for more plus size skinny jeans just for women. this all started, as we mentioned, from a change.org petition. the author of it, rene posey, went on the old navy website to go shopping when she saw a noticeable price difference between women as skinny jeans and plus size women's skinny jeans ranging anywhere from 12 to $15. we checked the website for ourselves. we saw you the difference. as an example she saw old navy's rock star super skinny jeans sold for $27 for a size 6, but the same jeans in a size 26 were $40. now, she also says in this petition that she understands paying more for plus size clothing, but what she has a problem with is when you look at the difference for slim fit jeans for men, there is no

price difference. it's the same cost regardless of size. and she says that's offensive and is discriminatory pricing. she is calling on a fair price for all genders regardless of size. here is some reaction from shoppers this morning. >> this shouldn't be happening any more. especially from a big company like that. yeah. it's surprising and disappointing. >> reporter: again, old navy sticking by its decision to charge more for plus size women's skinny jeans. the company says it charges higher prices for plus size clothing because it costs more to manufacture due to extra features like curve flattering elements like con toured waist bands which men's garments don't include. as for the petition it is gaining steam. more than 34,000 people across the country have signed it. live here in alameda this morning, brian flores, ktvu channel 2 news. >> you got a hot issue here. thank you, brian. ktvu viewers have been debating this on our facebook page. we are getting a big response.

now, crystal stuart writes, do size zero women get a size discount for using less fabric than a size 8? no. victor writes charge more for both machine and women. more material used and more work to produce them. what do you think about this? should old navy charge more for larger women's clothing even though it doesn't do the same for men? our viewers are debating this on our ktvu facebook page. you can join the conversation. go to our facebook paige ktvu channel 2 on facebook. time is 8:47. twitter plans to add six new features in the coming year. the company will add apps, but he wouldn't say what they would be. other new features would allow private messaging, shareable videos, and some new technology involving your location. it also would address complaints twitter users miss good tweets when they are not online and start making personalized suggestions for accounts for

users to follow. twitter has been criticized for not improving their design or functions quick enough. 8:47. sales force is expanding its presence in san francisco. the "san francisco chronicle" reports sales force plans to purchase a build agent 50 fremont street for $640 million. sales force already leases close to 60% of the tower, which is the ninth largest building in san francisco. and this is just the latest acquisition for sales force, which also has a 61 story tower under construction near the transbay transit center. all right. tori, time is 8:40. we have to check. we didn't see this one coming, sal. trees are falling down all over san francisco. what's going on? yeah, one person was hurt. tara was reporting on it. potrero avenue. the tree is down here. the muni lines came down. the over head power lines for the buses. someone also just sent me a

picture of the side streets which are a mess because potrero is a major street and no one is getting through. you can see one of those muni buses is there powered by electricity from overheadlines. that bus is not getting through. is a big mess. one person was taken to nearby sf general with injuries as a result of this tree down. a lot of trees are coming down around san francisco. be careful as you drive. be cognizant of trees. let's take a look now at the bay bridge toll plaza. it is backed up all the way out to the macarthur maze and beyond that 80 is a mess coming through. i want to put up a map of all the east bay freeways. just a lot of slow traffic everywhere you look. every slowdown that you normally see so much slower this morning. almost every one. there might be one expectation, but i don't see that many expectations. 680, 580, 280. 580 westbound is jammed up out of san leandro to to downtown

alameda. sal, a lot of cloud cover out there. most of the rain is done. there could be very light stuff or drizzle. especially towards parts of the coast. mostly cloudy skies though. the front for some hardly anything. especially around san jose. some zero amounts to a quarter of an inch in alum rock. other locations had really good rain. i will show you those in a second. morning rain and some foggy parts of the bay. lots the of clouds. mild and muggy. these are warm systems. it looks like a partly to mostly cloudy weekend some of the rain in santa rosa here. .10. san rafael said .12. there were bigger amounts than that in marin county. napa .15. oakland .25. san francisco almost .03. a couple locations a third to four-tenths. ben lehman .83. and livermore a third of an inch. for some good totals. ben lehman, they had the most i could see at .83.

mount tam .78. cobb mountain and lab county .75. mill valley.two-thirds of an inch. sauce lit 'probably had more than that. .48. danville .47. dublin .37. san francisco down in the books at .29. not much left in the system. if anything is fouling it's below the radar. east san jose foothills getting very light rain. could be a little bit around mount diablo as well. there is not a lot left. a lot of cloud cover continues to stream? santa cruz mountains could get that lifting effect. a lot of cloud cover streaming towards us. looks like that's just about it. cloud cover. not much else. morning rain gives way to a lot of cloud cover. mostly cloudy. 60s for highs but very high humidity factors. 60s on the temps. any sun breaks probably close to 70. it's going to be a day of 60s and probably a weekend of 60s. maybe warmer as we head towards monday. rain to the north but a lot of

cloud cover over the next few days. >> put the umbrellas away for a little while? >> or keep it it in the trunk of the car. >> not too far away. >> this was the main system. >> all right. thanks, steve. 8:51. caught in the middle of a bad breakup. why a man sent adorable baby chickens to his ex-girlfriend and who came to their rescue.

♪ food is more than just a meal. ♪ food is love. be

welcome back. it's 8:54. talk about a bad breakup.

police in washington, d.c. investigating after a man mailed a box of baby chickens to his ex-girlfriend. the box said there are plenty of other chicks out there. now, she threatened to throw the package in the crash, but the postal worker rescued the birds and then took them to the humane society. >> these animals are individuals and they have the ability to suffer and using them as props for pranks is not an okay thing to do. >> you will be happy to know the baby chicks are recovering. there are two animal sanctuaries in virginia and maryland. officials say it's not illegal to send baby birds through the mail. it appears he got them from the website efowl. but it is against the law to own livestock in d.c. a new report suggests the age when women and men reach their sexual peak so much closer than previous studies have indicated. it's long been held the average woman reaches her sexual peak at the age of 30. men at 18.

but "the chronicle" citing data from a new human sexuality study shows that women peak at 26 while for men it's 32. however, researchers say ultimately the sexual peak is when a person finds their best partner and they have learned through experience how to communicate with each other. >> yeah. >> so there you go. >> and once again we talk to sal. >> well, sal knows about the peak of our commute. yeah, thank you very much, dave, for saving me on that. we have a lot -- i mean, i can't even get involved in things like that because i have so much on my plate here. westbound bay bridge backed up all the way out through. just remember i can't mention every commute or we'd be here for a long time. we have fog and wet weather in every commute. it's very slow. look at 880 here. it is absolutely slow. i want to mention an accident in san mateo county southbound 280 at 92. we also have a look at the commute on the san mateo bridge and in the east bay. every single freeway is slow getting out there.

the accident on southbound 280 at 92 is in the middle of all this heavy traffic. i am going to put the icon here where the crash is. but traffic is very slow coming over from half moon bay on on 280 heading towards the south bay. at 8:56 let's go to steve. fog as you touched on. most of the rain is done. there could be a little drizzle still left over. very light showers. a lot of cloud cover. moc. mild. and it looks like a partly to mostly cloudy cloudy pattern through the weekend. rain line goes north. right now looking like mostly sunny and warmer by monday. >> did we pick up anything? >> we did. marin county had really good rain. santa cruz mountains. >> all right. >> a little bit. >> i mean, drop after drop in the bucket. we need a lot more. >> yes. we need inches of rain. >> steve, thank you. that's our report for this morning. we thank you for making ktvu your choice for news. >> be sure to watch ktvu channel 2 news at noon for more on all the tree troubles in san francisco. here is a live picture of the

scene where one tree fell and they have been cleaning it up. there are also problems with live power lines. we will follow that story all day and have updates on ktvu news at five and six as well. thanks for joining us. have a great day. female narrator: it's posturepedic versus beautyrest it's posturepedic versus beautyrest with up to $400 off. serta icomfort and tempur-pedic go head-to-head with three years' interest-free financing. mattress price wars are on now at sleep train. ♪ your ticket to a better night's sleep ♪ ♪shining, shimmering, splendid ♪tell me, princess, now when did♪ ♪you last let your heart decide♪ ♪a whole new world
