protests tonight in ferguson, missouri and here in the bay area. crowds vent their frustration after a grand jurydecided not to indict an officer in the case of michael brown. >> we're also hearing two more buildings in ferguson have been set on fire. >> protesters in oakland made their way on to the 580 freeway

setting cars on fire. police cleared the freeway but then it happened for a second time. it is a very busy news night. good evening everyone i'm frank somerville. >> and i'm julie haener. we want to go back to the streets of oakland where you can see protesters have blocked traffic on interstate 580 once again. this is a live look at the situation right now on news chopper mm two. - - news chopper 2. police are in the process of clearing traffic. police have also closed westbound lanes of traffic as well. we have our crews, but first the news from ferguson. no indictment, that was the

decision from ferguson. >> that decision sent people across the country into the streets. in ferguson, protesters vandalized and set cars on fire. >> ktvu's heather holmes with more on the decision. we begin with reporter garrett tenney who is live in ferguson with the very latest going on there. garrett. >> reporter: yeah frank, police were hoping that we wouldn't see a repeat of those violent protests we saw back in august, tonight though it's much much worse. we know of at least seven buildings now along west floresent avenue here in ferguson that are set on fire. completely ablaze. several are completely burned to the ground.

we're just hearing reports that an officer has been shot as well. gunfire has been ringing throughout the night. we've heard well over 100 gunfire shots. the flames from the building you can see them up in the sky throughout the night as well. protesters in addition to that gunfire, several molotov cocktails have been thrown. batteries even. stores all along the avenue there and throughout ferguson are being broken into and looted. this is ongoing. police say so far at least from what it appears is that this is all happening so quickly and so rapidly that it's just been hard for them to get their hands around and to get control of the fire crews as they're trying to respond. those buildings are still ablaze. more are going on fire as we

speak. police are slowly moving forward, but as they keep moving forward, these protesters keep going on to other businesses and it's hard to keep up. >> it's midnight now. what is the police strategy here? >> it doesn't appear to be getting better. i don't know if it's getting any worse but it's very, very bad. police are trying to get a handle of this situation here in ferguson. really what we're seeing is a lot of these protesters are going from store to store. jumping in cars and going into another area and breaking doors and setting fires. police are having a hard time responding. >> michael brown's family issued a statement saying they're disappointed that officer wilson is not gone to

face charges. the family plans to talk publicly tomorrow. >> as for the grand jury, they deliberated today. the panel is made up of seven men and five women. only four votes were needed to block an inindictment. nine of the jurors were white. heather holmes is live with more on the long awaited decision. >> the prosecuting attorney knowledge only detailed the grand jury's decision. he repeatedly stressed that the lack of evidence. >> reporter: in an unusual nighttime news conference in a missouri courtroom, the st. louis prosecuting attorney announced the 12th person grand jury decided not to press

charges against officer wilson for the august 9 shooting. >> the scientific evidence examined by the grand jury combined by the physical evidence. supported and substantiated. no probable cause exists to indict wilson on any of the five possible charges they were asked to consider. follow the announcement, a new wave of anger in st. louis and throughout the country. and the brown family released a statement saying. while we understand that many others share our pain. we ask you channel your frustration in a way that will bring about change.

>> we are a nation built on a rule of law. >> reporter: 20 minutes after the announcement president obama asked the nation to accept the decision. >> there are americans who agree with it and there are americans who are deeply disappointed, even angry. it's an understandable reaction. but i join michael's parents in asking anyone who protests these decisions to do so peacefully. officer wilson has been on paid leave and staying out of sight. but he did testify before the grand jury. his legal defense team also released a statement saying law enforcement personnel must often make tough decisions. >> we have a statement from the browns. >> this was to address reporters tomorrow. it'll be interesting to hear what they say in light of all of the protests and damage that we're seeing. again they too as the president

had called for people to react to this peacefully. but it'll also be interesting to hear what their next step is, most likely a civil lawsuit. >> heather thank you. after tonight's decision we talked to john burress and he said that based on his own experience he's not surprised here. >> jurors are every day people want to believe police don't do anything wrong and they are essentially doing their job. when the point of fact is that's just not true. >> reporter: burress also says michael brown's family can now pursue a federal rights case. he is recommending that the brown family do that. in oakland, more than a thousand people marched down the street blocking traffic not once but twice. news chopper 2 is over head both times. the first incident was at 8:30 tonight. several people made their way on to interstate 580 near lake

shore bringing traffic to a stall. they made their way back on to 580. we'll have more on that in a moment. but first we go to ken pritchett to show us what happened when those demonstrators got on the steps. >> this is where the demonstration began here in oakland. you can see here right now there are some protests who remain here at this intersection. they're crossing the street with their signs. this is a relatively small group that has been here. a much larger group of protesters split off from this group and marched through the streets of oakland. >> reporter: even before word arrived from ferguson, it was clear they expected no indict. they held a moment of silence

before the official announcement was ever made. and then, they marched east on broadway. >> i think it's right to have anger. i think it's an unreasonable expectation to ask people to stay calm. >> reporter: as they attempted to march up the onramp to interstate 880 at 6th street. there they were met by a wall of police. >> everyone has been activated and we're all out here. we want to make sure we create a safe environment. >> a police cruiser was vandalized before the crowd was turned back. they marched back to city hall before again heading east toward broadway and south on

grant. some buildings were spray painted. the glass door of a bank was shattered and at least two trash cans set on fire. relatively few incidents from a crowd that marched past lake merit. possibly 1,000 strong. you are looking now at live video from news chopper 2. this is graham and mcarthur where there's a fire burning in the street. protesters near by. we were able to follow this march through the streets of oakland. on graham before we had to take off. there was much more to this march after that. >> reporter: yeah there sure was. ken we're going to go to debora villalon. she's been physical lowing what's been happening on 580 near the grand lake theater where protesters there stopped traffic tonight, debora. >> reporter: that's right, protesters succeeded in shutting down traffic in both directions not once but twice. take a look at where we are on

frontage road. you can see some of the people that have been arrested for trespassing the freeway. and it's still very slow going because people keep jumping on to the road. the crowd multiplied fast. as demonstrators were pushed westbound. people from the neighborhood joined the original marriagers. as opd and hpd scrambled to get the traffic flowing, this was a determined crowd. >> i'm from the neighborhood and i just heard what was going

on and i didn't feel i could sit at home. i'm just out to express my peace and that's it. >> everybody out here is voicing their frustration and they're doing it peaceful so they know. south of ferguson, we're doing it real peaceful but people are upset because i'm black and i'm scared to be black in america. >> reporter: it took up to an hour to clear the street the first time. officers ordering a defiant crowd out of the traffic lanes, inching them down the crowd trying to get 580 going again. a massive traffic developed with many driverses just getting out of their cars to wait. >> i sympathize with them on a new level. that police brutality is unforgivable. i'm not sure this is the way to go about it. >> it's not good. >> you don't mind being stuck? >> no. reno is not going any where. >> reporter: we were positioned to capture one man being

arrested on the freeway. no doubt many more have been arrested. although the authorities here tonight are too busy right now to give us an actual count. a take over has shifted to the west and closer to graham. that's where we're told they have the latest scene, protesters on the ground avenue ramp and that's why the freeway can't be reopened. because of course safety issue s for drives and people that are still out. chp was on tactical alert in anticipation of the action from ferguson but clearly this took everyone by surprise. >> there's hundreds of officers out there. is 580 still closed in just one direction or both directions? >> we're just starting to see cars come through. take a look behind us. we have cars coming through now. eastbound. so that is a first in just the last few minutes. we're not seeing anything going

in the opposite direction as of yet. again it's very changeable and we will check with chp and be able to bring that to you within the newscast. >> obviously, be careful if you're going to be around interstate 580 downtown oakland tonight. so called healing centers were opened in oakland for folks to gather. one was opened up at the youth center. afterward people were invited to share their opinions and officer solutions to community issues. a protest in san francisco lasted two hours tonight oud a outside a b.a.r.t. station on mission. jana katsuyama live in the city now with the reaction there, jana. >> reporter: earlier police here at the hall of justice said they were prepared for tonight's protest with education -- extra officers tonight.

it was peaceful but they shouted their message. >> reporter: it was not what the crowd wanted to hear. when organized announced the decision, they threw their hands up and shouted. >> i'm outraged by the decision of the grand jury. he was a young black man with a future. >> we're trying to show there's a pattern that's a national pattern. it's not just in california, not just in ferguson. >> reporter: the protest was organized by the group answer and finds sympathy for mike brown a shared concern about the rocky past and current relationship. >> ferguson is everywhere. why is it that many police not all, fail to view african american maleless as being men like any other men. and not a threat. >> reporter: many say the dialogue should continue over the decisions police officers make. >> there's too many police officers who are saying, i felt

they're inching the protesters along and they've kind of got them cornered on all sides so this that they can't spread. they can't get back into ramps on to the 580 freeway because after the closures earlier tonight, no one here in downtown oakland wants to see that happen again. >> debora thank you, now we want to go to ken pritchett. where protesters have are now marching are starting to return again, ken. >> reporter: momentarily, this is very much a march on the move. we're here on 14th and broadway. there's been several protests here online but that large group that broke off, hundreds strong, hundreds of them made their way through here about 15 minutes ago going east down on broadway. the position of the police station. when they came through here they paused momentarily. chanting no justice no peace. what we did not see is as many police following this group

here. again they are headed in the direction of the police station. we're not sure exactly where they are ending up at this point now. >> ken pritchett in oakland. that is a fluid situation so keep that in mind if you're going to be out there in the grand lakes theater area. tracking showers but not for tomorrow or the next day. it's going to be dry around here. it's a spare the air day tomorrow. you can see it way up here. you can see rain that's where it is in vancouver. it's not going to make it down our way until friday night when we will see rain return. no fog around the coast. winds are light right now. you're going to see pretty low overnight lows and you're also going to get a spare the air deal tomorrow. the valley fog has a potential to form in your neighborhood

especially in the north and east bay. these are current numbers. not that cool, yeah it's chilly but you're going to get mid-30s in the coolest spots in the east bay. this is the story till thursday. till thanksgiving. then on friday, everything breaks down. and this low comes in. this is not just one, this low sits here and rotates and it'll drop one storm in. another storm. another storm. we'll see a couple of systems roll through as we head friday, really through monday. so here we are friday. this is just a long range model. friday shows the ridge breaking down. shows this front. watch what happens with the low. just kind of hangs here spinning through. hangs until monday. it stays green and blue over us. so the indications are we have an extended wet period from about friday night through monday. fingers crossed on that one because that would be some snow in the mountains and it would be some rain around here. some areas around here with the last rain we got we're up to 50% of average in some places.

60% in others. it needs to be more: but that's better than we were. it's a spare the air day tomorrow. thanksgiving right here looks good and everything kind of goes south if you will. south is a good thing right now because we need the rain and we need the snow. on that pattern is a real productive pattern. can be a real productive pattern for rain and snow. let's hope it transpires. other wise dry through thanksgiving. >> looking good bill, thank you. mark is here now with sports. i thought pablo sandoval was going to stay with the giants, i really did. >> you had that gut feeling. >> so much for my gut feeling. >> panda express headed for boston i guess you might say. we all know by now no crying in baseball and not much room for sentimentality either. giants were behind playing negotiations and sandoval turned down their officer. once they sent in big papi to
