7:01 am
>> and good morning i'm dave clark. tuesday morning, january 28th. you know roberto gonzalez is not playing with this cold weather. >> i know it's sticking around. >> it's serious. roberto. >> yeah, it's real cuddle, snuggle weather. that's why steve paulson. >> that i. >> like is sleeping in this morning, right? it's another cold start to your day. yesterday was one of the coldest mornings so far this year. this morning, boy, we have temperatures that have been tumbling into the 20s and 30s. what you can anticipate today is after this frosty start, sunshine. a beautiful brisk day, 57 to 63 degrees. but right now it's freezing in livermore, 30 degrees in santa rosa. how about 28 degrees in palo alto? i'm going to double check that they're 33, in walnut creek, back into alamo and high 30s and sunnyvale. so a freeze warning is in effect this morning. in addition to a frost advisory. and this stays into effect for the next two hours. live weather camera looking out towards the santa clara valley from mission peak and clear skies. visibility
7:02 am
unlimited. but at this hour, no visibility due to fog in novato. temperatures today 57 to 63 with the sunshine. full forecast coming up right now. sal castaneda, have you seen any fog with your particular traffic cameras this morning? >> yes. if you want to look at my richmond bridge traffic camera, i'll put it up here for you. roberta. there is some fog right behind you. see it there? it's coming through. the bigger problem, though, on the richmond bridge is there's a stalled car on the bridge, and traffic has been very slow. it's slower than usual. it's backed up all the way back to south marina. and that's a longer than usual backup. also, the bay bridge had a minor crash on the bridge. it's better, but it's not as bad as the crash we had the other day. but it's still very slow getting onto the span there, so give yourself plenty of extra time. we're also looking, for example, at the dumbarton bridge and the bay bridge. those bridges look okay. in case you
7:03 am
are looking for alternatives. 702. let's get back to the headlines, sal. >> thank you. new. this morning, police in san francisco were involved in a deadly shootout last night. it started with a separate shooting around five yesterday afternoon near ninth and mission. police say a suspect in that shooting ran into a building and got into a standoff with officers. police say the person refused to surrender. now, we don't know what caused police to open fire, but at one point, officers shot at the person in the building. the person inside died of a gunshot wound. we're working to get more information from police about what happened. the moments before shots rang out. police say they did find a gun at the scene. >> our time is now 703. well, today, a county in the south bay is considering putting a ban on artificial turf in santa clara county. leaders there say grass fields are physically and medically safer. ktvu is james torres is at a sports complex in sunnyvale right now to tell us why there's both support and pushback to this. good morning
7:04 am
james. >> good morning to you, dave. we are just outside the twin creeks sports complex here in sunnyvale. it's full of soccer fields, baseball fields. it's also a county owned facility. so if a turf ban were to go into effect, this would be one of the places that could see some impacts. let's talk about some of the arguments going on here. it all started with county supervisor otto lee, who says that he will be introducing an ordinance later today at the board of supervisors meeting late last week, he gathered doctors and community leaders supporting a ban on turf, saying it leads to more injuries for kids and chemicals in the turf can lead to long lasting health problems, some as extreme as cancer. they also expressed concerns about the dangers of turf fields on those really hot days. >> on sunny days, these fields can reach temperatures of up to 160°f, hot enough to cause heat exhaustion or burns. this creates an unsafe environment,
7:05 am
especially for athletes playing long games or practicing for extended periods. >> now, the other side of the argument, those against the ban say they are. there are just as many studies unable to identify a link between turf and cancer. they argue turf offers more access to fields and parks and gives kids more opportunity to play, especially after major rainstorms or other parts of severe weather. turf is also easier to maintain than grass, and they say, saves water. a statement to the board of supervisors from the synthetic turf council reads in part, quote, families, schools and businesses choose synthetic turf because it provides year round access to affordable, durable and eco friendly fields, especially in drought prone states like california. a ban on turf in santa clara county will only hurt communities by depriving them of these long term benefits and cost savings. that turf uniquely provides. that ban would affect any new
7:06 am
county owned land, but there would be a handful of exceptions. it would not get rid of any parks with turf currently under contract. supervisors will meet starting at 930 this morning, but they won't get to this conversation until at least 2:00. if that vote passes today, there will be a second vote on that ordinance next week. we're live this morning in sunnyvale. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> james. thank you. the california department of water resources is denying a claim by president trump involving the l.a. wildfires. the president posted a statement on his social media site saying the u.s. military had just entered the great state of california to turn on the water. president trump said the military is using its emergency powers in response to a water shortage during the fire fight, but the state's water agency disputes that claim, says the military has not entered the la fire zone, it says. instead, federal agencies turned water pumps managed by the army corps of engineers back on after they'd been off for
7:07 am
maintenance for the past three days. meanwhile, thousands of people living in pacific palisades are now returning to their neighborhoods after mandatory evacuation orders were lifted. >> and a lot of those fire victims in los angeles are getting their first look at what's left of their homes. after the wildfire disaster that started three weeks ago. many of them are very frustrated with l.a. mayor karen bass and other city leaders, and many of the fire victims now want to know when they can start clearing debris from outside of their burned out homes. >> i want them to just be truthful. if they honestly think it's going to be 18 months, then tell me it's going to be 18 months. >> it would be nice if we could say by here it will be done, but that's why they have given us a range. and the range is from several weeks to 3 to 4 months. >> mayor bass stressed those homes have to be closely inspected for toxic materials before any debris can be removed. >> southern california edison is now acknowledging what it calls a fault on a power line located
7:08 am
a few miles away from where the fire started. the utility filed a report yesterday with the cpuc saying the fault happened the night of january 7th, the same night the eaton fire started. the lines that experienced the fault do not go through eaton canyon, where the fire began, but they are connected to a system that experienced a surge. a law firm that's suing socal edison released video of a sparking power line, claiming that's what started the fire. edison says it is reviewing the footage. >> so the video that we obtained from the new york times on saturday night needs more careful analysis. and it is very premature. or i should say, it is premature to comment or speculate on what that footage means without more careful analysis. >> socal edison says there is no evidence proving its equipment started the eaton fire. the cause of all the fires is still under investigation. >> our time now. 708. oakland police are busy investigating a
7:09 am
deadly sideshow on sunday after a crash led to a shootout. investigators say one person was killed and two others were wounded on 10th avenue, not far from franklin elementary. the ktvu obtained this cell phone video showing a crash followed by gunfire. some city leaders want big changes to stop what they're calling out of control sideshows. >> this is on call for insanity, and there's no reason for bringing that activity to the city of oakland. oakland cannot be a site for sideshows. we need to enforce the laws that i have. i catch you doing sideshows. i get to keep your car. bottom line, and we do need to make the arrest. >> now, the two people wounded in the gunfire, they're in stable condition. so far, there's no word of any arrests in this case. >> time now is 709. we have a lot of slow traffic this morning on bay area bridges. the best bridge right now would be the dumbarton bridge. we're going to
7:10 am
start with the best news first. that looks okay. heading over to menlo park. the san mateo bridge is okay. i would say it's a little slow here and there. the worst bridge is the richmond bridge. we had a stalled car. they're having trouble getting it out of there. and traffic is slow from before the marina exit, all the way out to the middle of the bridge. and at the bay bridge, it's backed up beyond the maze. we had an earlier crash on the bridge. didn't last too long, but it did its damage. now 709, let's get back to the desk. >> all right. thank you. well, northern california farm workers are making changes because of fears of possible immigration raids. the changes that are happening on farms all over the state because of increased enforcement by the trump administration. plus. >> continue doing more with less. and we're at that breaking point. [music] >> san jose firefighters say they're stretched thin. their demands for more staffing and other resources to respond to emergencies. >> after a car accident. [music] beware of insurance companies bearing small checks. if you've been injured, you may feel
7:11 am
pressured to settle too soon and for too little money. don't be fooled. the minute you sign, your claim is over, no matter how serious your injuries are or how many bills come in later. choose jacoby and meyers. for over 50 years, we've turned low insurance offers into big settlements. call us and find out what we can win for you. coby and m ers because

7:13 am
7:14 am
we're following for you this morning. san francisco police say an armed suspect is dead after exchanging gunfire with police. officers say it happened after a different shooting led to a standoff. ktvu ali rasmus spoke with someone who saw that first shooting. she'll be back live with details on what they saw coming up at 730. today in alameda county, the board of supervisors will be selecting a new district attorney to replace pamela price, who was recalled by voters in november. the board is considering seven finalists for the da job. the person who selected will serve through the 2026 midterm elections. and people gathered at san francisco's jewish community center last night to pay tribute to the millions who died in nazi concentration camps during world war two. this came on international holocaust remembrance day. there are several other events planned for this week, including a documentary screening tonight on the horrors of nazi germany. >> our time now 714. there's new research out about how some bay
7:15 am
area fire departments are understaffed. >> ktvu andre senior has been looking into this. he is in the studio with more on what san jose leaders have to say. >> garcia, good morning to you both. now, this comes after the mayor of san jose asked the city to assess how equipped its fire department is to handle a big fire like those in los angeles county. now, data from the bay area news group shows san jose has the lowest firefighter staffing level when compared to oakland, san francisco and los angeles. san jose's firefighter union says budgetary restraints are making recruiting more difficult. some city leaders say more local property taxes should go towards paying firefighters. >> a lot of our constituents pay our property taxes, but the majority of our property taxes go to the state and the county. so therefore, we need to leverage the resource from the county and the state to do fire prevention and to make sure that our citizens is safe. >> the city currently has 632 firefighters, but the union says the city needs 700 to 1000 to be
7:16 am
considered properly staffed. >> we're budgeted for 723, but the reality is, is that we don't have a recruitment division, we don't have a ability for us to go out in our own community and get people to be make a direct impact on the city of san jose. >> san jose's fire chief says the department is making some progress thanks to 2018 measure t chief robert sapien said in part in a statement, quote, we're expanding our capacity with three brand new fire stations and four additional fire companies, and increasing our daily minimum staffing from 190 to 202 personnel, end quote. he adds the new stations locations were chosen to help high demand areas or places more susceptible to fires. san jose leaders say while they work to increase funding, people should continue to educate themselves and prepare as much as they can for a major fire event, including having an evacuation plan ready to go. >> all right, andre, thank you. time now, 716. work is underway to reduce the wildfire risk in
7:17 am
the east bay hills. the moraga orinda fire district called for prescribed burns to remove dry grass. this comes as east bay mud met last week with fire departments about making sure there's access to water supplies. one concern after studying the wildfires in los angeles county, is that fire hydrants lost water pressure or did not have water to battle the flames. >> after the fires. in los angeles, we've been coordinating even more closely, and the purpose of those meetings is to really do a walkthrough of east bay mud's water system in their area so they know here's where the tanks are, here's how much storage we have. >> other things they're filling water storage on red flag days, making sure they can maintain the thousands of fire hydrants around the area. >> all right. 717. let's get out the door. sal, where are you most concerned when it comes to this morning's commute? >> well, the richmond bridge, gasia and dave not doing well
7:18 am
because someone's car broke down. and you know, that bridge is special. because when something happens, there's no shoulder. and so now. and also the tow trucks have to wade through traffic to get to it. so we have a longer delay. they're working on the problem, but it just takes a lot longer when something happens on that bridge. we're also looking at the bay bridge. it's a little longer than usual because of an earlier crash. the crash wasn't serious, but things are backed up beyond the maze here as you drive through the morning commute and you can see traffic is going to be slow. let's talk about highway four. we have slow traffic from loveridge this morning all the way out to bay point. we had a minor crash near willow pass road. honestly, the backup would be there anyway, with or without that minor crash. it was actually closer to port chicago highway. but on highway four there you can see traffic is a little bit slow. 718 let's bring roberta back with today's weather. >> sal. our temperatures are gradually recovering now after
7:19 am
dipping down below freezing and many neighborhoods we've now we've rebounded to freezing temperatures. take a look. right now, livermore sporting 32 degrees. it's still below average and below normal in the santa rosa area. at 30, it's 27 degrees in fairfield. and how about 31 in napa and sonoma? 39 degrees in san jose. freeze warning in effect until 9 a.m. in addition to the frost that you're seeing on your lawn this morning, well, that advisory is allowed to expire at 9 a.m. as well. doug mitchelson, he is in our technical operations center this morning. thank you, sir, for this beautiful live weather camera looking out towards the estuary and jack london square, where the current air temperatures in the 40s. visibility is a little bit of an issue right there right now in the novato area due to fog. we have fog and half moon bay as well. and the fog will be increasing tomorrow morning and thursday morning. right now we have a dry slot. we're under the
7:20 am
influence of high pressure. you can see that patchy stratus just hugging the coastline there. we take you to southern california where the rain has ceased after producing up to an inch in the santa monica area and some snow around the tehachapi mountains, elevation 7000ft. so we're tracking this right here. it's big, it's beautiful. it's an area of low pressure. here we are tomorrow morning, just about this time on approach, increasing our fog bank. there you are. thursday morning again. just hugging the coast will be the layers of fog anywhere from eureka all the way into monterey bay. here comes the rain. it's sneaking that northwestern corner of the state of california in the morning hours on friday, then sagging in a southerly direction. we should have rain by friday night. and lingering into your saturday morning, just remaining kind of damp throughout the day on saturday. but meanwhile, today, 57 degrees along the sea shore to high 50s and low 60s central bay, low 60s in american canyon and in vallejo, sunnyvale,
7:21 am
cupertino, campbell, saratoga, all at 63. pretty similar conditions in morgan hill and in gilroy. here's your extended forecast. it's the chinese lunar new year tomorrow. partly cloudy skies. the clouds thicken on thursday. rain likely for your friday with lingering chances for your saturday. hey guys, next time around, i'll take a look at the tahoe forecast. >> roberta. thank you. 720 here we've been reporting on chain store closures across the bay area and beyond party city, big lots. among them, the one type of store responsible for about a quarter of all closures, and how pressure from overseas figures into what you see in your neighborhood. >> and the price of eggs may jump another 20% this year, according to a federal government study. we'll tell you why the cost of t se eggs

dave's been very excited about saving big with the comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. five years? -five years. and he's not alone. -high five. it's five years of reliable gig speed internet. five years of advanced securit. five years of a great rate that won't change. it's back. but only for a limited time. high five. five years? -nope. comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. powering five years of savings. powering possibilities. comcast business.
7:24 am
about the spread of bird flu. after the cdc found a new strain at a duck farm in the central valley, the world health organization for animal health reported the first five cases of h5n1 flu were discovered in merced county at the same farm, where a more common strain killed nearly 120,000 birds in recent months. the risk to the general public, according to health officials, remains low, but some doctors are concerned that the emergence of this new strain means the virus is changing. >> there is that small possibility that there could be a genetic mutation that would then allow the virus to be
7:25 am
transmitted person to person. >> we're fearful every day. the chickens, boy, they get it and they're dead in a day. you'll know right away if you've got it. >> the virus killed more than 17 million birds in the past three months, creating a huge supply shortage. the agriculture department says egg prices are expected to increase another 20% this year. >> our time now 724. will. the price of eggs has been rising and the experts predict it's going to keep rising. the average price of a dozen white eggs in california is up $0.72 this week, to around $8.76 a dozen. the prices are up a lot since this time compared to this time last year. the agriculture department predicts prices will soar another 20% this year. >> so i bought eggs just a few days ago. actually, i saw they ranged from 6 to $8 for just even like a dozen of them. and that was i even said to myself, i'm like, this is blasphemy. it's just robbery. you know, it's really expensive. >> it's the first time in my life that i've ever had to be
7:26 am
kind of embarrassed on what i'm selling eggs for. and it's not our fault. >> now, the bird flu has forced farmers to slaughter millions of chickens a month. that's pushed egg prices up more than double the normal price. the chicken population is not expected to rebound until this summer. >> well, crews are busy making hundreds of new footballs for the super bowl at the wilson football factory in ohio. each ball is stamped with the super bowl logo and the team names. the process is done mostly by hand. workers cut out leather panels that are sewn together with hundreds of stitches, and then insert the laces. >> it's a 20 step process, so we're still cutting leather. we're sewing liners on the leather. we're sewing the balls together through lock stitch for the nfl game balls, and then lacing them up. the after that, we do a 100% quality inspection on all balls. >> the eagles and chiefs each get 120 super bowl branded footballs. some will be used for practice. the best ones are set
7:27 am
aside by the quarterbacks for the big game. and of course, many of the balls will sell for a whole lot of money after that game. you can watch super bowl 59 right here on ktvu fox two. the chiefs and eagles face off in new orleans less than two weeks to go here. the big game sunday, february 9th. kickoff is at 330 in the afternoon. >> all right i'll be watching. time now. 726 drivers in san francisco. it's time for you to start slowing down. we'll tell you the message from city leaders as they get ready to install speed cameras in san francisco. >> immigration and customs enforcement making more arrests nationwide. what we're learning about reports of op ations in
7:28 am
7:29 am
i'm not happy with the way that pg&e handled the wildfires. yeah. yeah. i totally, totally understand. we're adding a ton of sensors. as soon as something comes in contact with the power line, it'll turn off so that there's not a risk that it's gonna fall to the ground and start a fire. okay. and i want you to be able to feel the improvements. we've been able to reduce wildfire risk from our equipment by over 90%. that's something i want to believe. [skateboard sounds]
7:30 am
shoot and kill a man. after another shooting and a standoff. we're live in san francisco this morning with the new information the police gave us overnight about what happened out there. plus. >> there's plastic products, there's cleaning products. there's potentially lead and asbestos, all kinds of things in these buildings that also burned. >> now that the wildfire flames are out in southern california, there are new concerns about toxic waste from what's left behind in the fire zone. the
7:31 am
reason everybody is not on the same page about the plan to clean it up. [music] >> from ktvu, fox two news, this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning and thank you for joining us. welcome to mornings on two. i'm dave clark. >> i'm gasia mikaelian. it's tuesday, january 28th. the sun will be shining later today. but for now, we're still cold. roberta. >> did you notice i left the heater on in the makeup room for you? thank you. is it on? >> yes, and it helps ease things. just a little boy. >> it certainly does. the past couple of mornings have been the coldest morning so far this year. what has helped give us a little bit of grace this morning is that we've had the influx, some areas of fog, but the bottom line is who left the door open. you know what i said there? you got that okay. because it does feel like we got a draft. okay. if i have to explain it, it doesn't work. all right. it's a pretty clear morning with sun splashed skies. later today, we welcome in chinese lunar new year tomorrow,
7:32 am
and clouds will begin to snake into the forecast. okay, i'll stop right there. all right. temperatures right now. 27 degrees in fairfield to 43 degrees in san francisco. it's 30 in santa rosa and high 30s in san jose. freeze warning in effect right now until 9 a.m. and in addition to that, we do have a frost advisory for the next hour and a half. live weather camera. thank you. doug, this is looking out towards the estuary. those clouds are roughly down to 1400 feet. those serve as a blanket, so it won't be as cold this morning as yesterday, but nonetheless, bundle up out the door. a few high clouds racing across the horizon today, 57 to 63 tracking the rain and when you will need your umbrella that's still straight ahead right now. first things first, sal castaneda, any improvement out there on the richmond bridge? >> a little bit, but we have to start somewhere else because, roberta, we have a motorcycle down and injuries on san jose
7:33 am
northbound 101 at trimble road, and traffic quickly backing up. some people might want to use 280, but everyone's already had that idea, so traffic is going to be slow. you can see the san mateo bridge and the dumbarton bridge are okay. i want to show you that the east bay commute is good, but as roberta mentioned, the richmond bridge is slow because of an earlier stalled vehicle. it's a really long backup this morning. i also want to mention the bay bridge is longer than usual because of an earlier crash on the bridge. it's been gone for a while now. 732. let's get back to the headlines. >> okay, sal. thank you. well, a busy san francisco intersection just reopened. it was shut down for hours overnight as police investigated a deadly, deadly shooting involving police officers. ktvu ali rasmus is out there now to tell us what we're finding out from the police and also from witnesses. good morning ali. >> good morning. yeah. ninth and mission is where this happened. and for much of the overnight hours, it was completely shut down to traffic. now you can see
7:34 am
traffic moving through here again. police completed their initial investigation gathering evidence and collecting details to figure out how this exactly happened. now, this all started around 5:00 yesterday evening. that's when police responded to a report of a man being shot outside this apartment building on ninth street. the victim had several life threatening gunshot wounds. he is still in the hospital this morning. one witness described what he saw. >> i was standing right across the street from my house. and this guy was just kind of laying under a blanket right over here by the doorway where he got shot. he was just laying there, and all of a sudden this guy comes out of the door and he just came out and he shot him like, point blank three times. >> police believe the gunman then ran into the apartment building nearby at ninth and mission. officers followed him inside. and that's where a standoff lasting several hours happened. police say they used their specialist tactical and negotiation teams to try and get
7:35 am
the suspect to come out. police say he did not. gunfire was exchanged and police went inside the room where the man had been barricading himself and found him dead. now people who live nearby in this neighborhood near ninth and mission say they're really not surprised. sadly, something like this happened. they say this stretch of ninth between mission and market has long had its problems with drug use and drug dealing. >> i've been here two and a half years and it has progressively gotten worse. i mean, just three weeks ago we had a shooting right here. this corner is essentially turned to sixth and mission. >> now, we've reached out to san francisco police this morning. for more information, and for more details on when they'll be updating the public about what happened here overnight. but in the meantime, ninth street between mission and market is back open to traffic. live in san francisco. ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> thank you. ali. cleanup efforts are underway after the eaton fire down south, but some local cities there are pushing back against the environmental protection agency's plan to
7:36 am
process hazardous debris at a nearby park. we'll turn to ktvu bailey o'carroll. she is live in irwindale. to bring us an update on this controversy. bailey. >> good morning garcia. yeah, that is right. a lot of folks here in the surrounding irwindale neighborhoods not too happy that this park here will be used as a site where that debris will be taken to. now, of course, as these fires get put out, you mentioned folks want to start the rebuilding process, and they want to start it as soon as possible. they do have to clear out that debris. and a lot of that debris is hazardous. toxic debris, things like lithium batteries, old tvs that burned computers, laptops, all sorts of electronics and other things like that. but that is cause for concern for these residents. they're worried about their health, the environmental impacts this could have on their neighborhoods. and the other big issue they have with this is that they say they were given no heads up. >> we understand there's a lot
7:37 am
of debris. there's a lot of toxins to come on over here 15 miles away. and we were not even being notified. that's quite shocking for us. >> within about 200 yards of the san gabriel riverbed and about 500 yards of a residential community with kids and children, and for them to set this up overnight without no notification is just very alarming. >> so the epa says that they have already prepped this area, that they have safety measures in place. they're planning on using water trucks to minimize the dust particles from getting out into the air. they're going to do routine testing and sampling. the waste will be brought here daily, and it will be processed and sorted. it will be sorted into different piles depending on what it is. then the federal government will take it from there. the department of transportation will transport that waste where it can be properly disposed of. now residents here, they've started a petition on change.org that
7:38 am
already has over 500 signatures. they want this debris sorted at the burn site where the eaton fire was near altadena in pasadena. but i can tell you work here. not quite necessarily underway, but it will be later this afternoon, probably about a half hour or so. we watched a whole lot of trucks roll out of here along this road that we're across from right now. the epa spokesperson telling me that those trucks are headed to where the eaton fire was to collect some debris and bring it here. of course, they won't be back here for again a number of hours that he says that they have to kind of comb through it, fill those trucks up, then they'll head back here. but neighbors in the area, they're hosting a town hall tonight. again, they say they're not too happy, but the epa saying that they're taking all the necessary precautions and steps to make sure that everybody is safe. garcia, back to you. >> bailey, you're there in irwindale. it's kind of northeast l.a. county. it's a fairly small city. why was irwindale chosen for this?
7:39 am
>> well, that is the question i am hoping to get an answer to here in the next 15 minutes or so ago. i can tell you that this area behind me, which is where they're going to do that sorting it, is already federally owned. the army corps of engineers previously used it. and you talk about a city like l.a, right? everything is relatively compact. there's not a whole lot of wide open spaces like this. so my early premonition, if i if i had to take a guess before i got that answer, is because there's not too many open spaces like this where they can do work like that. but again, the epa is waiting just just around the corner here, and we're going to talk to their spokesperson in about 15 minutes or so. so i hope to have an answer for you a little bit later on. >> okay. we'll break you loose and see you again in the 8:00 hour. bailey o'carroll thank you. >> all right. our time is 739. increased enforcement by ice agents here in the bay area is causing new fears in immigrant communities. later this morning, labor union members will rally to show support for the immigrant community after ice

8:03 am
separate shooting around five yesterday afternoon near ninth and mission. police say a suspect in that shooting ran into a building and got into a standoff with officers. police say the person refused to surrender. now, we don't know what caused police to open fire, but at one point, officers shot at the person in the building. the person inside died of a gunshot wound. we're working to get more information from police on what happened in the moments before shots rang out. police say they did find a gun at the scene. to the south bay. now, where today, a county there is looking to ban artificial turf. >> santa clara county leaders say grass fields are physically and medically safer. ktvu james torres live from a sports complex in sunnyvale with why this idea is getting both support and pushback. >> well, adrian garcia, we are just outside the twin creeks sports facility here in sunnyvale. it's a county owned facility. it's full of soccer fields, baseball fields as well. it's one of many that could be impacted if this artificial turf ban were to take effect. some of the arguments here. it starts
8:04 am
with county supervisor otto lee, who says today he is introducing a ordinance to the county board of supervisors. he gathered doctors and community members supporting a ban on turf that was late last week, saying that it leads to more injuries for kids and chemicals in the turf can lead to long lasting health problems, some as extreme as cancer. they also expressed concerns about the dangers of turf fields in the heat. but those against the ban argue turf offers more access to fields and parks and gives kids more opportunities to play their sports, especially after major weather events. turf, they say, is also easier to maintain than grass and it saves water. >> there's a lot of studies that show that there's really no correlation there. yes, we should be concerned about plastics and chemicals, but we should not be scaring our youth and our parents that going out and playing sports is going to cause cancer. >> that ban would affect any new
8:05 am
county owned land, but there would be a handful of exceptions. it would not get rid of any parks with turf currently under contract. supervisors will meet in just about a half hour, hour and a half from now. this morning. they won't get to this conversation until at least 2:00, but if passed, if the vote goes in favor of the ban, there will be a second vote to confirm it next week. we're live this morning in sunnyvale. i'm james torres, ktvu, fox two news. >> james thank you. time now is 805. sonoma state university students, faculty and staff plan to confront members of csu's governing board at today's meeting in los angeles county. they plan to voice their strong objections to unprecedented budget cuts planned for the university in rohnert park. they include faculty layoffs, academic cuts, and the elimination of all athletics. the sonoma state university budget cuts are not on today's agenda, but the group plans to express its objection during the public comment section of the meeting. >> there's new research into bay area fire departments that are understaffed. >> this comes after the mayor of
8:06 am
san jose asked the city to assess how equipped its fire department is to handle a big fire, like those burning in los angeles county right now. data from the bay area news group shows san jose has the lowest firefighter staffing level when compared to oakland, san francisco and los angeles. san jose's firefighter union says budgetary restraints are making recruiting more difficult. some city leaders say more local property taxes should go towards paying firefighters. >> a lot of our constituents pay our property taxes, but the majority of our property taxes go to the state and the county. so therefore, we need to leverage the resource from the county and the state to do fire prevention and to make sure that our citizens is safe. >> well, the city currently has 632 firefighters, but the union says the city needs 700 to 1000 to be considered properly staffed. >> were budgeted for 723. but the reality is, is that we don't have a recruitment division, we don't have a ability for us to
8:07 am
go out in our own community and get people to be make a direct impact on the city of san jose. >> san jose leaders say while they work to increase funding, people should continue to educate themselves and prepare as much as they can for a major fire event, including having an evacuation plan ready. >> time is 806 and we do have a lot of slow traffic in san jose. we're going to start there this time because traffic is slow on northbound 280. it was slow on northbound 101, partially due to earlier problems. most of those issues are taken out of the freeway lanes relatively quickly, but we still do have a bunch of slow traffic. this is a look at interstate 880 slowing down near the coliseum on the way to downtown oakland and the bay bridge. a little slower than usual. if you're on a schedule, give yourself ten extra minutes to handle that. likewise for the richmond bridge. look at that fog there. we have a lot of fog and also a lot of slowing, again, because of an earlier problem that is now gone. it's
8:08 am
807. let's go back to the desk. >> if they honestly think it's going to be 18 months, then tell me it's going to be 18 months. >> fire victims venting their frustration as they return to the rubble of their palisades. homes by los angeles county leaders say it's hard to give a specific timeline on when they can clear the debris. >> and it's a troubling trend hitting a record high. we'll hear from an investigator on what schools can do amid a rise in shootings on campus, and how they can navigate evolving issues that impact both students and teachers. >> after a car accident.

san francisco police say an armed suspect is dead after exchanging gunfire with police. officers say it happened after a different shooting led to a standoff. ktvu ali rasmus spoke
8:12 am
with someone who saw that first shooting will bring her in for live details on what they saw at 830 today in alameda county, the board of supervisors will be selecting a new district attorney to replace pamela price, who was recalled by voters in november. the board is considering seven finalists for the job. the person who selected will serve to the 2026 midterm elections. >> in santa clara county. supervisors could ban artificial turf across the county. supporters say grass fields are physically and medically safer. reports link plastics found in artificial turf to long lasting health concerns such as cancer. but critics say the ban could limit facilities for sports across the south bay. >> it's now been 25 years since a mass shooting at columbine high school in colorado brought a new fear to american families. deadly attacks on school campuses. a new survey finds a majority of today's public school teachers are worried about the possibility of a shooting at their schools. the pew research center found 59% of the teachers questioned were somewhat worried about gunfire on their school campuses. 19%
8:13 am
said they were very or extremely worried about a school shooting. let's get some more insight by turning to sarah stilwell from the institute of firearm injury prevention at the university of michigan. thanks for being with us. >> good morning. how are you? >> good morning. it's good to have you here. the washington post says there have been more than 400 school shootings since columbine, virginia tech, sandy hook elementary among them. is there a common thread between these attacks? >> yeah, that's a great question. and one of the things that we notice is that not only is there a common thread, but we also really like to dispel some of the myths that happened around school shootings. so one of the myths is that mass shootings happen all the time. and mass shootings, they do happen and they need attention. but interpersonal and self-directed violence, like cyber bullying and discrimination and other forms of violence that happen in schools, that's really much more common. 1% of firearm deaths are really from mass shootings. and another myth that we really like to call attention to is that
8:14 am
violence is random and can't be predicted. and in 90% of school violent incidents, a student or a teacher noticed a sign that was concerning. and in about 75% of those incidents, three people noticed or saw a concern or a sign that could help prevent the violent incident before it escalated into something more serious. so true signs of mass violence. those are things that are concerning, but those are things that we can really stop. so yeah, there are some things that undergird those particular incidents, but there are things that we can prevent as well. >> well, let's talk about that. you know, teachers say that they had seen the student acting strangely in the months or years before the attack. my middle school a couple of years ago started up an anonymous tip line so we could report any threats of violence. do these anonymous tip lines work? >> yeah, absolutely. thank you for asking about that. anonymous reporting systems or confidential tip lines do have evidence to demonstrate they're a very effective way to prevent violent incidents from escalating into larger acts. so
8:15 am
schools that may not have a violent. a confidential anonymous reporting system or a tip line should really seriously consider implementing one, because there's tremendous evidence that demonstrates that these are an effective way to prevent violence incidents from occurring. >> now, in the decade after columbine, we saw a push for metal detectors and barriers at schools. my old high school in livermore has a big old metal fence around it. what have researchers found about those physical deterrents? >> yeah. great question. so when we think about an approach to school safety, we like to think about using a comprehensive approach. so really acting on the social environment the attentive environment and the physical environment. and what research demonstrates is that the physical environment approaches or the sort of more target hardening approaches really don't have as much evidence to demonstrate efficacy. so things like door locks or security resource officers or metal detectors, they really don't have as much evidence to demonstrate their overall efficacy as compared to different things like social curriculums or trauma informed practices or these more sort of
8:16 am
anonymous reporting lines. so we really want to be thinking about a more comprehensive approach so that we can think about the entire environment and protecting the psychological and the physical safety of all students and individuals within the entire school community. >> do we know yet what president trump's second term in office might mean for school safety measures nationwide? >> there's a lot of evolving things around this topic at this time, and so a lot remains to be seen. but right now, what we can continue to do is support the efforts that schools are implementing towards moving towards this comprehensive school safety strategies that they're currently implementing, and ensure that they're utilizing things like trauma informed practices that we know there's a really robust body of evidence to support. so continuing implementing the school safety strategies that they're doing and just meeting the evolving needs of the school safety landscape as it continues to move. i know that people have a lot of questions around what what things are happening and will continue to provide as many evidence, informed practices to make sure that we can support all the schools across the nation as they're working
8:17 am

8:33 am
with the latest update from police and witnesses. ali. >> yeah, ninth and mission is where this all happened. and for much of the morning, this street was completely closed off to traffic as police did their investigation to try and piece together how this all started. but now you can see traffic back open again. we know that this incident began around 5:00 yesterday evening. that's when police responded to a report of a man who had been shot outside this apartment building on ninth street. the victim had several life threatening gunshot wounds, according to police. he's still in the hospital this morning. according to one of the business owners and a couple people who live here in the neighborhood, they believe the victim of that shooting worked at the cannabis dispensary that's on the ground floor of the apartment. the gunman then, according to witnesses, ran inside that apartment building. officers followed him inside. and that's where a standoff lasting several hours occurred. police say they used their specialist tactical and negotiation teams to try and get the suspect to come out. police say he did not. we spoke
8:34 am
to a man who lives in that apartment building who had to shelter in place during all of this, and he says he heard what he described as a shootout between the gunman and police. >> 10:00 we heard a lot of gunshots coming from the building. apparently, the guy hit himself on the sixth floor. >> now we don't know who fired their weapon first, whether it was the barricaded suspect or police officers. but the neighbor told us he could hear an exchange of gunfire from both sides. but we've reached out to san francisco police for more information. typically, when there is a police shooting like this, san francisco police do a town hall meeting, usually a week or two after this incident occurs to kind of fill the public in on what they know about what happened, but we are waiting for some more information from them. in the meantime, though, ninth street between mission and market is back open to traffic. live in san francisco ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> ali thank you. it's 834 now

as crews have nearly all the l.a. fires under control, focus now turns to the rebuilding process. but it's not without controversy. ktvu bailey o'carroll is live from the city of irwindale in los angeles this morning, and bailey residents far outside the burn scar. they're upset. tell us why. >> yeah, that's right andre, you know, you think about all that debris left behind from all those fires. well, that all has to go somewhere in order for them to start that rebuilding process. they've got to get rid of it. and the debris from the eaton fire, which burned near pasadena and altadena is going to come here to this park behind me. now, we watched this morning as a whole lot of crews and trucks rolled out to go collect some of that debris. they're going to bring it back here this afternoon. but residents who live around here and this park, they say the worry for them is about public health. a lot of that waste left behind by those fires, things like computers, tvs, different lithium batteries
8:36 am
that burned all things that can be hazardous and toxic waste. and that's all going to come here to this park. residents here concerned about their health, butlso the environmental impacts that that could have on their neighborhoods. and the other issue, they say, is that they were really just given no heads up. >> we understand there's a lot of debris, there's a lot of toxins to come on over here 15 miles away. and we were not even being notified. that's quite shocking for us. >> within about 200 yards of the san gabriel riverbed and about 500 yards of a residential community with kids and children. and for them to set this up overnight without no notification is just very alarming. >> so the epa says that they have already prepped this area. they have safety measures in place. they say they're going to use water trucks to minimize the dust. they're going to be testing and monitoring the air, the dirt. they'll have things
8:37 am
laid over the ground so that if something does spill, it doesn't contaminate the dirt. the waste will be brought to this park daily, and it will really serve as a sort of they have to streamline this process if you will sort it, all of that waste and then make sure it gets packed up properly, and then it will be transported, and they will make sure that the epa will make sure that it gets disposed of properly and safely. now, garcia asked in the last hour, why this site? why this park? you know, it's about 15 miles from that burn scar. well, i asked the epa, a spokesperson for the epa, and they told me, just space. this is la. they don't have a lot of wide open space where they can sift through all of that waste, have room to move it and sort it. so that's why they came here. the other thing he told me is they are kind of acting in real time. they want to move this process along as quickly as possible, so they don't have a ton of time to
8:38 am
go out and look for all of these sites. so that is why they chose this. but again, residents here not too happy that this is the site they chose. andre, back to you. >> all right. thank you so much. we appreciate your time. >> 837 here. work is underway to reduce the wildfire risk in the east bay hills. the moraga orinda fire district called for prescribed burns to remove dry grass. this comes as east bay mud met last week with fire departments to make sure there is access to water. after studying the wildfires in los angeles county, officials want to make sure fire hydrants here at home don't lose water pressure or run out of water during a fire fight. >> after the fires in los angeles, we've been coordinating even more closely, and the purpose of those meetings is to really do a walkthrough of east bay mud's water system in their area so they know here's where the tanks are, here's how much storage we have. >> among other things. east bay mud is filling water storage on red flag days to ensure thousands of fire hydrants could be active if needed around the area. >> increased enforcement by ice agents in the bay area, causing
8:39 am
new fears in migrant communities. later this morning, labor unions will rally to show support for the immigrant community after ice agents were seen in san francisco over the weekend. the union that represents private janitors in the city say ice agents went to several downtown office buildings late friday afternoon, but building security guards kept them from going inside. the president of local 87 says no one was taken into custody. >> what were your workers reactions? the ones that saw it? >> relief that somebody spoke up for them. there is a lot of fear and nervousness, but we want to be able to exercise our power. >> state senator scott wiener says a bill that he introduced to increase funding for legal help for immigrants was passed in the senate. and on thursday, it goes to the senate assembly or the state assembly, rather. members of local 87 plan to meet at san francisco city hall at 11 a.m. the mayor and other city leaders are expected to speak. >> many california farm workers are making adjustments to their daily routines out of fear they will be confronted by

8:47 am
like to think about using a comprehensive approach. so really acting on the social environment, the attentive environment and the physical environment. and what research demonstrates is that the physical environment approaches or the sort of more target hardening approaches really don't have as much evidence to demonstrate efficacy. so things like door locks or security resource officers or metal detectors, they really don't have as much evidence to demonstrate their overall efficacy as compared to different things like social curriculums or trauma informed practices or these more sort of anonymous reporting lines. so we really want to be thinking about a more comprehensive approach so that we can think about the entire environment and protecting the psychological and the physical safety of all students and individuals within the entire school community. >> the washington post. the washington post reports there have been 400 school shootings since columbine. >> 1847. the california public utilities commission says it's investigating this month's battery storage fire in monterey county. the fire at the moss landing power plant started back on january 16th, prompting
