but don't trash it, don't vandalize it. don't disrespect it, don't demolish it. >> reporter: they stepped up patrol and uniformed police. but they need the public to check and see if there's anybody in the park that shouldn't be here and report it to police investigators. frank, julie. >> what a shame just seems like such a complete waste to vandalize that park. david stevenson, thank you. a woman in her 20s who was shot while on the job at a little cesars in el cerrito is back from the hospital. police have released this new surveillance video of the crime. you can see a man point -- a man pointing a gun at the clerk. all of them were working at the time of the robbery and while the cameras don't show the robbers faces the weapon they used is clearly visible in the video. >> we had seen that weapon in the possession of someone they

know. it's not a very common firearm. so we believe if someone has recognized it they may be able to help us solve the crime of who has done this. >> reporter: the gun looks to be a break action pistol or shortened handgun. the two men then ran away with the cash. police say a third man was waiting outside the store acting as a look out. mountain view police are hoping a slick new video will help them find two robbery suspects. >> the mountain view police department is seeking your assistance in identifying two suspects who forcibly entered a high end music store. >> the suspects are seen arriving in a van, breaking the door with a sledge hammer, pulling apart several display cases and putting equipment into their van. police say several people actually drove by the store as that robbery was happening and they're asking anyone who may have seen that van or the suspects to please give them a call. three people left on an

difference. >> reporter: life vests likely made a difference in how long they were able to last in the 59-degree water. if they had other emergency supplies like a vhf radio to call the coast guard they didn't use it. the call for help came from family who were worried they hadn 't returned. >> any time someone is missing or lost at sea our condolences to the family for that. >> reporter: luis rubalcava worked at seaton hospital where his girlfriend is now. he worked there to raise money to go to school. he wanted to be an attorney. >> noelle, thank you. the u.s. secretary of labor is in the bay area trying to help broker a deal between port workers and shipping lines. this high level visit from washington is significant and hopefully will be a key in the negotiations. ktvu's tom vacar is in the port

at west coast ports and several ships have opted to bypass the port of oakland as well as other major west coast ports. at some point, this mountain of containers many of them empty going nowhere and clogging up the ports have to be dealt with. but only after the terminals agree to take them in and the ships agree to load them. >> they're biggest priority on the west coast is to dump and leave and that's going to leave us with a lot of empty boxes and it's going to take us months and months to get rid of those empty boxes. >> reporter: that means the cargo you will be buying at stores will continue to be delayed. now again, on thursday, the union apparently is not going to work because they're going to a meeting usually done in the evening. they've decided to do it at 8:00 a.m. once again on thursday, the port will be closed adding to this mess. tom vacar, ktvu fox 2 news. all right, thank you tom. two bay area lawmakers are urging the san francisco catholic arch bishop to reconsider so called morality

rain. making way for vegetation to grow and possibly igniting larger fuel fields. >> statewide we've had about 160 fires already since the first of the year. typically we're looking at about half of that normally. >> reporter: that's why calfire started interviewing 300 firefighters candidates a few weeks sooner than normal at its morgan hill headquarters. a competitive process, calfire says to make sure they hire quality firefighters. >> every fire season they say it's going to be the worse fire season of all time. so i guess we'll see. >> nicholas ernest drove from obispo hoping to be selected. he's up for the challenge knowing he can keep families out of harm's way. >> concern for the welfare of everybody who lives around the wild land areas.
