and it would be. but you still see rain down the line. >> well just a little bit tomorrow. there won't be much. just a little bit. but a lot of high clouds coming in some more upper 30s, 40s on the temps here. i think we'll get more sun in the afternoon here, but a lot of high clouds. not much in the way of any fog. we had a lot more yesterday. 40 on the temps, a couple of 30s. menlo park in there. livermore is down to 38, concord 39 degrees. there are a few popping up here, i think the coolest temp i saw our coldest is at 36. most of this is heading up into the pacific northwest. the tail end of that will drag across us light rain.t about marin county north but cool to cold lows, more sun and warmer. a lot of high clouds drifting in, but temps bumping up a little bit here now. low to mid 60s. all right sally's here a bridge a freeway. where are we going. >> yeah let's pardon me. let's go to the richmond-san rafael bridge. steve i wanted to take a look at that because we're getting a crowd here on the richmond bridge. you can see traffic is moving along a little bit slowly. if you are driving

through, you will see the traffic is going to be busy there. going to the bay bridge, you will see the traffic is backed up to the macarthur maze and the metering lights are on. we've also been looking at that east bay commute, and we do have some slow traffic on interstate 880 heading into union city. that's not unusual. and now 680 is also getting slow through pleasanton. 7:00 let's get back to the headlines. >> straight to that developing story we've been following in the east bay. >> gasia this morning we learned about an incident in concord. a large police presence has shut down part of a neighborhood on natoma drive near willow pass road. it's near the old concord naval weapons station. now. police have been out there for hours this morning, as well as ktvu. jesse gary is as the investigation is going on. jesse is out there right now. so jesse, i know a lot is happening and i see the police lines out there and lots of police cars. so what's happening? jesse.

dave, good morning again to you. >> and over the past hour, we've been able to move closer to the actual scene. we were at willow pass road in natoma. we've moved closer to where the investigation is taking place. we're standing at santa rita drive and natoma right now, and you can still see there's still police cars off in the distance. i just talked to one neighbor who tells me that the house and the family where this occurred were a quiet folks, that they kind of kept to themselves. let's go ahead and take a look at our video. the initial 911 call was placed around 130 this morning. a neighbor tells us there was some sort of altercation, they believe, between a father and his son. this took place at 1930 natoma drive. now, we're told the son stabbed his father. and when concord police arrived shortly thereafter on the scene, there was a police shooting. the stabbing victim was taken to john muir hospital, but we do not know his condition. the suspect, the son. he was hit at least once by police gunfire. also, we do not know his

condition. coming back live. you see that there strong police presence here. officers on the scene tell us they cannot make any comments. and they are directing us to their public public relations person or spokesperson for the department. we put in multiple calls, have not heard back from that person yet, but we continue to try. we saw a neighbor who was another neighbor, second neighbor who was leaving this morning, pulled out of her driveway and made her way out of the san jacinto neighborhood, said she did not care to speak with us. so neighbors are aware that something happened. some maybe heard something, others saying. they woke up this morning and had no idea, didn't hear anything, and woke up to see this large police presence again. i spoke to a neighbor just minutes, minutes ago, maybe two minutes ago, who said that this family is quiet, kept to themselves, and that they didn't know or hear about the altercation and the police shooting that followed this altercation. we will continue to reach out to police. have an

update for you coming up in the next hour. we are live in concord this morning. jesse gary, ktvu, fox two news. dave, back to you in oakland. >> okay, jesse thank you. time now. 704 will later today, alameda county's new district attorney will be sworn into office during a ceremony at the chambers of the board of supervisors. today's ceremony comes almost a month after supervisors selected superior court judge ursula jones dixon to lead the da's office. she will replace former district attorney pamela price, who was recalled by county voters back in the november elections. judge jones dixon says her top priority. rebuilding a strong team of aggressive prosecutors. her swearing in ceremony was delayed two weeks because of her previous commitments as a superior court judge. time is now 704 for protesters around the nation. spent the president's day holiday yesterday pushing back against president trump and his administration's policies nationwide. >> there is some anger over the

current state of government. the protests were part of 5051, a grassroots movement that organized 50 protests in 50 states on one day. the demonstrators were focused on a series of layoffs across federal agencies. here in the bay area, more than 1000 people took to the streets of san jose, holding anti-trump signs calling his recent policies anti-democratic and illegal. elon musk was also a frequent target of the protests. >> we knew trump was bad, but we didn't know elon was going to be the president, and i think that we're kind of off about that. that is, things are going in the absolute wrong direction. >> it is more than just president trump and elon musk ignoring the will, the people. it's also them ignoring the fundamental basis of the american way. >> protesters say they hope if they make enough noise, their representatives will listen. musk and president trump have defended the department of government efficiency, saying

the project is identifying fraud and government waste. the oakland chapter of the naacp is celebrating this black history month by showcasing the talents of east bay teens. it's the 14th year of the celebration. the theme of this event is arise and thrive in 2025. on top of performing poetry and music, many of the teens involved are also helping with community service, serving meals to people who are homeless. >> you can help people. that's the best lesson ever because you're not worrying about yourself, you're worrying about other people. selflessness. and that's what the naacp is. >> you can motivate other young black women to chase their dreams and go for everything that they want, and take every opportunity that they have to show everything and never to just back down. >> that needle. >> the teens performed their poetry, including cameron lipson, who won silver in the poetry writing category at the national competition last year. other teens sang and recited poems to voice what's important to them, and they encouraged

others to follow their dreams. >> time is now 706. the black panther party museum in oakland unveiled a new exhibit. it's part of the black history month celebration. the exhibit is called survival pending revolution. it highlights the black panther party's survival programs in the 1960s and 70s for the black community, which were often unseen or overlooked by the media at the time. visitors can explore how the panthers fed children, open schools, set up health clinics, even offered a free ambulance service in winston-salem, north carolina. >> it was very racist in north carolina, and they would not pick up black people in their neighborhood to take them to the doctor. so the panthers, they got a hearse, they converted into an ambulance. they trained as emts, and they did 24 seven ambulance services for their community. >> now, this new exhibit comes on the birthday of the late huey newton, who co-founded the black panther party in oakland and the 30th anniversary of the doctor

huey newton foundation. his widow, fredrika newton, has fought, along with other panther veterans, to add depth and nuance to the history books. >> didn't portray a brother as anything other than a scary, angry black man with a gun, but they didn't show him up at 5:00 in the morning feeding children. >> now, the black panther party museum in downtown oakland is open between wednesday and saturday. >> state lawmakers want to take a second look at the electricity demands of california's growing artificial intelligence industry. tech companies are relying more and more on artificial intelligence, which requires a tremendous amount of power. now, state lawmakers are considering several bills designed to help ensure california consumers don't pay for those power data centers that companies use for ai. one law would require data centers to publicly reveal how much energy they use. another would require utility regulators to

drop an electricity rate structure specifically for data centers. >> time now is 708. and pardon me. we do have some slow traffic to get to. part of it is the bay bridge toll plaza. it is backed up all the way out to the maze, so it seems like a monday. on this tuesday after the holiday, san mateo bridge traffic also looks all right with no major issues. we've been looking at most of these commutes that are beginning to load up, so to speak. this is a look at the hayward commute, and that commute is a little bit slow heading south. it's actually it's not as slow as i thought it would be. so that's good. pleasanton commute is also slow. again, no issues on those commutes. 709. let's go back to the desk. >> okay, sal. thank you. well, construction starts today in san francisco on valencia street to take out a controversial bike lane. we'll take a look at the year long battle over it. and what's ahead for neighbors and businesses in that area. >> san francisco transit

officials are proposing budget cuts and taking aim at school safety by those who would be impacted. say the cuts are a bad idea. >> after a car accident. [music] beware of insurance companies bearing small checks. if you've been injured, you may feel 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 myers. for over 50 years, we've turned auto insurance offers into big settlements. call us and find out what we can win for you. jacoby

officers responded to a situation on natoma drive near willow pass road in an area northwest of concord high school. we're told there was a fight between a father and son inside a home. police arrived. there was a shooting. we're working and waiting for police to provide more information on exactly what's happening. we hope you stay with ktvu as we bring you updates throughout the morning. we're learning more about a deadly attack in the south bay that happened over the weekend. family members say a teenage boy was killed on valentine's day, was attacked while he was on a date with his girlfriend. the family says the couple was shopping in san leandro when a group of teens approached. the boy stabbed him to death. the attackers fled before police arrived.

investigators are working to learn why the attack happened and who's responsible. >> our time is now 713. happening today in san francisco, muni is launching a major project to replace a controversial bike lane on busy valencia street in the mission district. it's a project that sparked a heated neighborhood battle for the people who live and work along valencia street. ktvu is andre senior in our newsroom now with more details. good morning andre. >> good morning to you dave. construction crews are set to begin the bike lane project this morning. the work is expected to take 2 or 3 months. crews will tear out the bike lane that currently runs down the center of valencia street, and replace it with a traditional lane on the side of the road. muni says the project will likely cause some traffic delays and require the removal of some street parking. the center bike lane has been unpopular with residents and local business owners for the past few years, and criticized by bikers as unsafe. even so, some are frustrated with the delays to move the bike lane. >> it's too busy of a street.

restaurants always have to have deliveries. you have to have produce coming in. you have to have other delivery companies coming in and stuff like that. so imagine, like they can't park here. they can't. we have to block the lanes over there. so it's frustrating for everyone. >> the city first installed the center bike lane two years ago, hoping to ease the growing conflict between bike riders and drivers on valencia street. but many people who live and work in the area say the lane in the middle of the roadway has only increased those tensions. some residents hope the changes will be less disruptive for businesses. >> i think that if we can come up with a plan that has delivery zones and people can make their deliveries in specific places, i think that would be very helpful. >> muni's plan will allow the restaurants along valencia street to keep their parklets open during the construction. in most cases, the new bike lane will go around the parklets. construction will start on the southern end of the corridor at 23rd street and move northward,

but muni says the work may also take place in locations along valencia at the same time. dave. >> all right. andre. thank you. time now, 716. later today, the san francisco municipal transportation agency could eliminate some school crossing guard jobs. today, the sfmta will talk about the possible cuts at the board meeting today. they say cutting school crossing guards would save almost $3 million. right now, 160 school crossing guards work in san francisco. they say they're already short staffed. they also argue that fewer crossing guards will make the city less safe. it's now 716. state lawmakers are debating a bill that would force insurance companies to pay homeowners 100% of the belongings, the values of their belongings in their destroyed homes. that proposal would make it easier for policyholders to get reimbursed, and they wouldn't have to itemize every belonging in their house.

california's insurance commissioner supports the bill and says californians who've lost their homes and natural disasters like fires shouldn't have to worry about insufficient coverage or insufficient coverage or missed deadlines. >> crews in los angeles county are working around the clock still to clean up a muddy mess in malibu following the strongest storm of the season last week. they're using heavy equipment to remove tons of mud and other storm debris from pacific coast highway and other parts of the fire zone in malibu, unstable hillsides are preventing many frustrated l.a. fire survivors from checking out their damaged homes. >> and they keep blocking the roads. and i can't get up there to even check on my house. people will drive two hours to meet me, and then they get there, and then we can't go up there. i haven't lived in my house for, i don't know what is it, 40 days now? >> the iconic duke's restaurant in malibu was one of the few buildings standing along that stretch of pacific coast highway after the fires. it was supposed

to reopen last week, but it could stay closed for months after heavy rains triggered mudslides in the area. >> gasia time 717 is a new study out that says those noise canceling headphones may actually be damaging your brain. five different audiology departments in the uk's national health service says they are seeing more young people with hearing problems. development of the brain is not complete until the late teens or 20s for many people. and this report says because of increased headphone use, the cases of auditory processing disorder are going up. >> they can hear sounds, they can put language together. but when they're trying to sort out a voice from a crowd, for instance, or where a noise is specifically coming from, they may have difficulty with it. it may take them longer to do it, or they may miss out on parts of it. >> the experts say apd normally starts in childhood. it can be classified as more of a learning disability, because it can

affect a person's ability to read and to spell. the doctors say it's not clear if apd can be reversed or if it's permanent. >> all right. do you ever wear those those noise canceling? >> i've never tried it. not for me. >> i haven't either. i like to hear what's going on around me, i don't know. sal. sal. in his own world. i'm sure you can hear us, sal. >> i can't. you know what? gasia and dave, you two, you worked in radio, and so did i. yeah. so, no, this is the way we worked to hear stuff. that's right. you know, we have that little earpiece. gasia. i don't know if that little earpiece is going to mess us up later in life. >> can i tell you? and this is like a psa for everyone who is going to rely on something in their ear for 30 years to do their work? i have in the past ten years, i've really started turning it down to just where i can hear it. i used to have it on blast and for sure there's a difference in my right side to my left. >> copy that. yeah. me too. all right, well, let me let me have you hear me? do the traffic. i will show you that some of the

slowest traffic right now is in the east bay. you know, people blast their car radios, too. or their stereo anyway. between hayward and union city, it's slow. it's normally slow. and so is the pleasanton drive. that's not too bad, i have to say. got to the bay bridge. there is a backup all the way out to the macarthur maze. the metering lights are on. if you are driving onto the bridge, it actually looks okay once you get past all this. and i do want to mention that san mateo bridge is also moderately heavy. those have been the tough spots for now. the south bay commute hasn't woken up yet, but it will pretty soon on this tuesday. that seems like a monday at 720. let's bring mr. steve paulson back in here. >> what? speaking of my horn. speaking what? thank you. sal. all right, we'll get a little rain tomorrow morning. and then after that, you can go ahead and make plans for the weekend, because it will be near 70 for some. is the way it's looking here. so for today, a lot of high clouds but more sun today. and so temps will bump up a little bit. cloudy for most, some light rain. marin county,

san pablo bay north and mostly sunny. now there will be a lot of clouds i think spilling across, but temps will be near 70 for some. a little chill in the morning air this morning. orinda. pat yourselves on the back are the coldest i've seen at 36 woodside 37. felton, sonoma, alamo, pinole, fairfax and los altos, all between 38 and 39. santa clara is also 39. fairfax in there, sonoma as well. now up in lake county you can find 36 upper lake. also middletown, low 40 point reyes station. also at 39, i should add. livermore is also dipped to 38 degrees. we had a lot of high clouds yesterday. we'll still get some today, although i think there will be a decrease in those this afternoon. rainfall. southern california finally got some, but it has been just an absolutely dreadful year. but it's better than it was a couple of weeks ago, and that's not much consolation. san diego is still the also around, but la at least 60% of normal. there almost six inches of rain. santa barbara 41. but look at redding 31.5. remember mount lake shasta gets almost all their their water from rainfall and it has been heavy duty up in that area

this this year. santa rosa is doing well and crescent city is doing well. so that dividing line is no doubt been in place. it's been brutal in arizona, southern nevada, southern california, hardly any rain at all. 3040 on the temps. one observation concord is at 38. there's livermore 38. menlo park still 3916. truckee and south lake tahoe 29. reno and alturas 16. also at mammoth. don't see that all the time, but we do today. a lot of this energy is heading up into the pacific northwest. they'll get a lot of rain there. we'll get a little bit tomorrow morning. and i mean, you know, if it makes it south of san francisco, oakland, i'd probably be a little surprised. north. i think it will make it maybe a 10th to a quarter of an inch farther north. you go two for tuesday, a little bit more sun and a little warmer will be the temps here. 60 on the temps after tomorrow. the clouds a little cool down. everything says more sun, warmer temps, at least as we head towards the end of the week and into the weekend. you guys. >> steve thank you. it's now- [music] 722. as sports betting increases, so do concerns about addiction, how people's internet

people during the four day event. public transportation also was key in moving everyone around. muni even offered free rides. >> well, a new study is out about sports betting. it finds an increase in sports betting is leading to more online searches about gambling addiction. researchers at uc san diego studied online searches for gambling addiction. addict anonymous and hotline between 2026, 2016 and 2024, and found a 23% increase in those searches around the country related to finding some help for gambling addiction. the researchers say the findings suggest a need for health efforts to address the possible danger linked to that increase in sports betting. >> it's tragedy that we got to lose someone so young. he was a good kid. he was for sure a leader. >> we're learning more about the tragic death o teenager on the peninsula who was stabbed on

valentine's day. the latest on the investigation this morning. as his family and his community is mourning. >> and a move designed to minimize layoffs is stirring concerns that students will get shortchanged in the classroom by. critics say early retirement offers can bring new

thousands of dollars of inventory at a photography shop is gone. the investigation underway into a smash and grab robbery that caused major damage. then. >> filled with nothing but indignation against all these illegal firings, who have taken lower wage jobs to come serve the american people. >> growing uncertainty and confusion as the federal hiring freeze takes a hefty toll on the national park service. the desperate call for help as thousands of workers are out of a job now, and the possible impact on the very busy summer season. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning and welcome back. and thank you for joining us. welcome to mornings on two. i'm dave clark. >> i'm gasia mikaelian. it is february 18th. we're not quite done with the rain just yet, but

steve paulson am i right? nothing like what we saw last week. >> oh, no, not even close. that was a powerhouse system. but tomorrow we'll get some light. light rain about marion county north. i don't think there's much else. pretty darn cold, though, across the country here, as you might imagine. i think bismarck made it to 37 below this morning. that tied a record low. i think minneapolis ten below. des moines seven, green bay three, chicago one below. so it's pretty cold all the way down to oklahoma city. denver. lot of snow as well. we're we're not thankfully that cold, but we have a little chill there for a few. livermore 38. menlo park 39. concord 39. but a lot of 40s here. mix of sun and high clouds. and i think we'll get more sun today as that next system takes aim at the pacific northwest. it will drag across us tomorrow for a little cool down and some light rain, but not much. so more sun today and a little warmer there. still some higher clouds in the mix, but 60s on the highs slightly above average to near average. all right. so here at 731 we are heading where. >> to the bay bridge. i want to

show everyone on this tuesday that it looks a lot like it would on a monday out there if you're driving into san francisco. it is backed up to the maze. nothing unusual about that. and you will see also that this morning's commute is going to be typical on that san mateo bridge. i do want to mention that we have a typical commute on 880 between hayward and fremont. however, just right now on northbound 101, i'm sorry, southbound 101 at oyster point, the chp is reporting a couple of lanes taken away. this was just called in. i'm not sure exactly what is going on there, but i can already see the backup beginning to form as you approach oyster point boulevard. so we'll get to the bottom of it and have more coming up very soon. 732. let's go back to the desk. >> all right. thank you. a developing story in contra costa county, where a large amount of police officers are in concord right now during the night. the police rushed to a situation on natoma drive near willow pass road. one neighbor told our ktvu crew at the scene that it started as a fight or an

argument in a home where someone was stabbed. when the police arrived, shots were fired. now we're still waiting now for the police to give us more details on what happened out there in concord. we'll bring you a live report from the scene at the top of mornings on two at 8:00. >> more information now about an attack in the south bay that left a teenager dead on valentine's day. about 500 people have donated to a gofundme account set up by the family of 15 year-old david gutierrez. family and friends say he was at santana row with his girlfriend when a group of teens beat him and stabbed him to death. >> he was a good kid. he was for sure leader. if i tell him to leave the classroom with the class, he knew what he was doing. he paid attention even. yeah, he's just someone i could relate to when i was young. >> the attackers ran away before police arrived. authorities are now working to find them and learn a motive. >> our time now. 733. at a berkeley camera store, the owner says thousands of dollars in

inventory was lost. and there was major damage from a smash and grab robbery. it happened early sunday morning. a car rammed through the front door of looking glass photographic arts several times and stole a large amount of the gear there. that store has been in business for more than 50 years, and the owner says it's staying open for the customers. despite that break in. and while insurance covers most of the damage that was caused, just look around here. the store owners lost a lot of their gear. they've started a gofundme now to help recover some of what they lost, and so far they've raised more than $43,000. >> the federal hiring freeze enacted by president trump's executive order is having a major impact on the department of the interior. >> so far, at least a thousand full-time employees have been terminated from their jobs at the national park service, and it doesn't stop there. ktvu tori gaines has more now from the

presidio of san francisco. >> the past week has been a rough one for federal workers who support our public lands, with the department of interior announcing that 3400 workers with the u.s. forest service would be fired, along with 1000 workers with the national park service. this mass firing included park rangers, custodians, and even some search and rescue teams. matthew broussard, who represents the agency's workers as part of the national federation of federal employees, tells reuters that there are some positions which will be exempted, including firefighters, law enforcement and some meteorologists. now, this mass firing is impacting some of the lowest paid employees in the federal government. we spoke with a custodian who has spent the past ten months as a probationary employee at yosemite. he earned just $40,000 each year before taxes for the dirty work he does, including cleaning up excrement and trash around the park. here's why he has been so committed to the role throughout everything. >> what you're looking at is my

housing, my truck. i live in the back of and then just all the beds that people have, like offered me couches, driveways, ■tall that stuff. but i do it because i feel so strongly about the park idea. this is one of america's just most beautiful ideas that is just tried to be replicated all around the world. >> since the inauguration, the mass firings of federal employees have struck several agencies. one expert we spoke to says the mass firings across the federal government could have unintended consequences. >> you limit what people can actually do. and the law of unintended consequences is kind of a beast sometimes. and we're seeing that happening, happening play out in real time. the administration is having to scramble, undo some executive orders, try to unfire people they fired and can't find them, leaving people with a huge amount of uncertainty, which leads to economic uncertainty, which makes families uncertain and puts a lot of people at risk. >> coming up in the 8:00 hour, we'll dive more into how these cuts could impact your next pare

presidio of san francisco. tory gaines, ktvu, fox two news. >> time now is 736. educators are raising concerns about the practice of offering early retirement in an effort to minimize layoffs. districts, including san francisco unified, are offering veteran teachers buyout packages. edsource reports that many worry the less experienced teachers who replace them won't bring the same quality or skills to the classroom. they say students in school districts facing the biggest needs often suffer the most. san francisco unified says even with buyouts, layoffs will likely be needed to close its budget deficit. >> our time now 7.37. happening today. the city of brentwood in the east bay will conduct discussions about diversity, equity and inclusion. brentwood's dei committee may add more cultural events programs to celebrate the city's diverse community and workforce during the year. the events include black history month, women's history month, aapi

pride celebration, disability pride month, the hispanic heritage celebration, and native american heritage recognition. >> hundreds of teachers plan to rally today outside dougherty valley high school in san ramon. they're pushing back against the district's plan to cut more than $26 million from the budget. teachers say the proposed cuts would have a devastating impact on counselors, social workers and others involved in mental health programs in san ramon schools. the district says the cuts are needed in response to a growing budget crisis. the santa clara county office of education is planning to fire a number of employees. the office did not say how many jobs would be cut, but it comes as san jose spotlight investigation finds many top heavy managementpositie executive assistants earning almost $200,000 a year. the positions were created under the former superintendent, mary ann dewan, who was fired in october. workers will be notified of their dismissal march 15th.

>> our time is now 738. well, a rising nba star who used to play at sonoma state is now joining the fight to save the university's sports programs, which were cut earlier this year. the memphis grizzlies forward jalen wells visited the school yesterday. now, sonoma state recently cut all of its sports programs. several other academic departments. several majors and about 117 faculty, lecturers and staff members. student athletes and the staff say they were caught off guard by the changes made on the first day of the school term. >> it was just so unfair how they did it. we were all on our way to class and we all received the same email. >> there wasn't really much of a like opportunity for them to fight back against this. so just hoping that, you know, they give us more time to, you know, find a solution for it. >> now 227 student athletes are forced now to find new schools.

sonoma state responded to this in part, saying they appreciate jalen's passion and support unif the athletes have filed a civil rights complaint. they've launched social media campaigns and they plan to file a lawsuit. >> all right, let's get out the door. sell. >> all right. gasia, dave. southbound 680. we have a mess because of an earlier crash in pleasant hill at the oak park exit, right near the scales. right there. that's gone. actually. the lanes are open, but the traffic is very slow. this is unusual for it to be slow right off the get go from the benicia bridge. and 242 is kind of melded into the slowdown on highway four. so don't be surprised by this. again, whatever was there has been removed, but the damage is done, as i like to say. some people have decided, well, you know, i might try my hand with 80 westbound that's solid from el sobrante all the way down to the macarthur maze. and then when you get to the maze, of course

you're going to see the bay bridge. that's pretty busy now as well, getting across into san francisco at 740. let's bring steve back with today's weather. >> did you say from the benicia bridge to walnut creek? >> yeah. >> that's a long way. >> it's a tough one. someone's going to have a bad tuesday. >> yes they are. thank you sir. all right. our weather headlines focuses on some. a tomorrow. not much. and then it kicks out. and then everything says the weekend. we'll have upper 60s to near 70. i guess in a warmest case scenario. could be around 72 for some. if everything fell into place. but a lot of high clouds continue to stream in here. take a look at rainfall since we'll get a break. i think by tomorrow mount tamalpais will get over 60. that's their yearly total so far. cumulative total is 59.97. not too shabby there. san francisco normal today is 15.40. season average 22.89. so far in february they've had 6.64. the monthly average is 4.90. so they've blown past that after a dry january. putting them now at 17.39. so not bad if

you're north. it's been pretty good. if you're east and south you're you're lagging no doubt 40 on most of the temps now. still a few 30s hanging on walnut creek, concord, livermore, menlo park in there, plenty over here. orinda, also pinole, lafayette, alamo, castro valley, dublin, clayton, all in there. and, you know, low 40s. el sobrante is at 41 degrees 16 popular trekking south lake tahoe, 29 in reno and 14 in mammoth and ely. out there at 27. a lot of this is heading up into the pacific northwest. the tail end of this will drag across us as a weak system. tomorrow morning at about marin county north. it looks to be really kind of the line for any rain, and it will be light. it will be brief, kind of like what we had sunday morning. only patchy fog. two for tuesday, a little more sun, a little warmer temps. so we'll take those into the 60s, mid 60s, a little downshift a little bit tomorrow with the clouds and light rain. and then after that everything says here we go. they'll be clouds, but it will also be warmer going into the weekend. >> thank you steve. recent plane crashes in toronto, philadelphia, washington and alaska have many people

concerned about the safety of air travel. >> that is for sure. so now we want to hear from you. let's go over to andre senior. he's over here with our viewer poll of the day. >> can you believe when you heard about another one? again. >> the pictures were. >> just devastating. >> i know it is. everyone's okay though, but here leads us to this question here this morning we're asking, do you feel safe flying? your options are real simple here. yes or no. go to ktvu.com. let us know what you think here. but when you have so many incidents in such a short period of time, of course it makes you think a little bit. let us know what you think. vote right now it's 5050 even, but we'd love to hear from you about this. back to you. gasia. >> yeah, i think, you know, require travel is one thing. if your work makes you go. but it's that that should i go that, you know, should i fly to la or drive for. >> example. >> is definitely when you when you when you purchase your ticket, you just do that without thinking. but when these things happen, you're just like, yeah, flying. >> now you think twice and three times for sure. >> all right, well look, as we go to break, take one more look at the poll. you can scan that

qr code. it's in the top right

two at 746. here are some of the top stories we're following today in concord. a large number of police officers are gathered at a possible crime scene

overnight. the police rushed to a situation on natoma drive near willow pass road. theeighbors told us there was an argument between family members in a home, and those neighbors said they heard gunfire after police arrived. and we're waiting now to hear from the police to get more details on what happened. stay here with ktvu mornings on two for updates throughout the morning. >> the san municipal transportation agency could eliminate some school crossing guard positions at today's board meeting. sfmta says cutting school crossing guards would save about $3 million. right now, 160 school crossing guards work in the city. some say the program is already short staffed and say even fewer crossing guards would make the city a more dangerous place for pedestrians. the santa clara county office of education is planning to let a number of employees go. the office did not say how many jobs would be cut. the plan comes after a san jose spotlight investigation found the office was top heavy with management, and that some executive assistants earned

almost $200,000 a year. those positions were created under the former superintendent, mary ann dewan, who was fired in october. workers will be notified of their dismissal by march 15th. >> all right. garcia. time is 747. bmw just announced plans for faster charging evs. >> also, nike has plans to keep up with the kardashians. let's bring in pam cook back to the studio for this in dollars and cents. >> an interesting business model. nike has signed a deal with kim kardashian and her skims shapewear company. the collection will roll out this spring, with sales starting next year. nike has been criticized for failing to stay on trend and is expanding its presence in women's sports, in particular as seen in the super bowl commercial empowering female athletes. as the opening bell rang this morning, southwest airlines announced broad layoffs for the first time in its more than 50 years in business. southwest reports the job cuts will be corporate positions. the ceo says it is part of the airline's plans to be better

positioned financially to compete with the other big airlines. by the way, ringing the bell this morning, that's prudential financial, celeating 150 years in business. all right. as we take a live look at the numbers down across the board, even though the s&p 500 is trading near a record high, it's had quite a run in the past few days or so. the dow jones down just slightly as is the s&p 500 and the nasdaq. no big swings today but all down a little bit. the trump administration has fired hundreds of employees at the federal aviation administration. this comes as we've talked about probationary workers notified late friday in an email that they had been terminated. the impacted jobs include radar landing and navigational and maintenance workers. the transportation department says no air traffic controllers were affected. we did speak to an aviation consultant to find out what the firings could mean for safety. >> just for example, at san francisco international, there's

what's called instrument landing system. it's a ground based system which is used virtually around the clock because of a bad weather conditions, low visibility fog. so if those systems aren't properly maintained, you either have to restrict operations or go to some other airport. >> now, some of the employees who were fired were working on a classified early warning radar system in hawaii designed to detect incoming cruise missiles. that program is funded in part by the defense department. tech analysts say speaking in different languages has never been easier thanks to artificial intelligence. the technology can be used to power simple translating devices, and now a system called lingo, which was previously known as lexica, can help developers and language based features to their app. supporters say it's more user friendly than chatbots such as openai that require copying or pasting text and utilizing multiple translation files in different formats. lingo features are designed for both

individuals and businesses, and bmw is planning a rollout. new plans for its upcoming electric vehicles. the automaker is showcasing new technology that will serve as the brain for its upcoming evs. it's called heart of joy. bmw expects its next generation ev lineup to have 30% more range and 30% faster charging. i'm pam cook. that's a look at your dollars and cents. >> now it's 751. we do have some slow traffic out there to tell you about. and that would be at the bay bridge toll plaza. as usual. you will see the traffic continues to slow from about the macarthur maze all the way up to the metering lights. and after that it looks much better. we also do have a decent drive on the san mateo bridge. i want to remind you that this morning, if you're driving on 680 from the benicia bridge, it's slow all the way to walnut creek. this is due to earlier problems. 242 is also much slower than normal.

highway four is about the same, but don't let this surprise you as you're heading to walnut creek and beyond that into danville. 751 let's talk about today's weather. here's steve. >> so thank you kindly, sir. well, a little more sun today. a lot of high clouds. no biggie. we'll get a weak system tomorrow. then after that, everything. go ahead and make plans for the weekend. even if there are clouds, temps will be in the upper 60s to near 70. the way it looks here. a few upper 30s. livermore 38. walnut creek 39. most are in the 40s though, but we bottomed out on the lows. not much fog. a couple of 30s here. holding on stanford campus. woodside, 39, los altos, 39, but mainly 40s on the temps so 18 and 16. truckee south lake tahoe. mammoth though has dipped to 14 degrees. 27 up at mount shasta. a lot of high clouds streaming in but the bulk. i'll tell you there's just just a quick if you're heading north, there's going to be a lot of rain from about eureka, north del norte, humboldt county northward. there's going to be a ton of rain between now and the next 6 or 7 days. so just if you're going up that way, watch out. we will be on the southern

edge of all this, so we'll get a little bit. marin county, san pablo bay north tomorrow morning by around ten, 11:00. and then i think we're done. only some patches of fog or two for tuesday means more sun and some warmer temps. i think we'll get more sun in the afternoon, even though we have a lot of high clouds right now. 60 on the light rain and slight cool down, everything says there could be a lot of clouds floating around, but it's still going to be warm. upper 60s to near 70. >> all right, steve, thank you. time now, 753. the fear of being deported is spreading among california's second biggest group of immigrants. up next at 8:00, how organizers in the asian community are empowering their undocumented community and the families with mixed status. and a very scary plane crash. the plane ends up upside down on the runway. now we're hearing from some of the passe s w

investigators from both the united states and canada will look into yesterday's plane crash of a delta airlines plane in toronto. the pilots were trying to land a flight from minneapolis in strong winds and snow when the plane crashed on the runway and then flipped over. delta says 18 of the 80 passengers and crew members were hurt, including a child, but everybody is expected to recover. the passengers described the chaos as they hun.

>> as we made our descent and made touchdown. it was just a very. forceful event where all of a sudden everything just kind of went sideways. and then next thing i know is kind of a blink and i'm upside down, still strapped in. >> it is scary to sit in the back of an aircraft and be out of control, right? you're not the one flying it. you don't know what's going on in the airspace and it can be big and scary. >> now the faa is looking into the weather conditions at the time and the plane. we expect to get updates on the investigation soon. meantime, a big round of job layoffs is coming to southwest airlines, which announces laying off more than 1700 employees at its headquarters in dallas. it's the first major layoffs in southwest history, according to southwest airlines. the layoffs will save the $300 million a year. well, the suspected leader of a cult like group that's linked to several killings from coast to

coast and has ties here to the bay area, has been arrested. 34 year old jack lasota was arrested sunday in maryland, along with 33 year old michelle zatko. now, jack lasota is described as a leader of a cult like group known as the ians. a bail hearing is scheduled this morning in maryland. court documents reveal prosecutors believe that group is linked to the murder of a u.s. border patrol agent back in january and five other murders, including the 2022 stabbing of a man in vallejo. police say the curtis lin, a landlord in vallejo, was stabbed in the chest with a samurai sword. lin shot back at the attackers and killed one of them. lin was then stabbed and killed last month. 22 year old maximillian snyder has been charged with that murder. the snyder recently applied for a marriage license with the person accused of the murder of the

border patrol agent in vermont. the jack lasota and michelle zatko are facing several charges, but no homicide charges. a lawyer for lasota would not confirm that he'd been arrested or give any other details. well, mexico says it's waiting now for a new response from google before it sues google over the gulf of america. name change on google maps. mexican president sheinbaum wants google to fully restored the name gulf of mexico on its map service. she says mexico is ready to file a lawsuit if google won't do it. as it stands, the gulf appears in google maps as gulf of america within the united states and as gulf of mexico within mexico, and as the gulf of mexico, with gulf of america in parentheses. elsewhere in the world. >> a chaotic scene in concord reports of a stabbing and a

police involved shooting, apparently starting out as a dispute between a father and son. we often heard about latin groups expressing concern about the trump administration's mass deportation efforts, but now you'll see how leaders in the asian community have also joined the chorus of opposition. plus, wait. >> once you get into this thing, you're safe all the way until it ends. >> they can't park here. we have to block the lanes over there, so it's frustrating for everyone. >> a disputed bike lane along valencia street in san francisco finally getting moved. but that process to get there won't be quick. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> welcome to mornings on two at 8:00. as you look live across the oakland estuary right now, the sun is casting its rays on the bay and san franciscos well. but it looks like we might have a little haze in the air as well. a little fog. thank you for joining us. i'm andre senior. >> good morning. i'm gasia

mikaelian. it's tuesday, february 18th. so much brighter than where we were this time last week. steve paulson. >> well, that was a real powerhouse system we had at the end of last week. but yes, we get i think we'll get more blue sky today, if you will, some higher clouds. no biggie. we'll start nationally here because it's brutally cold for many. i think bismarck bottomed out around 3637 below, which would have tied a record low. but i mean, even even around green bay, chicago, detroit, cincinnati, all the way down to denver, oklahoma city, it's a cold, cold one for us. we had a lot of 30s here. so i mean for us, little chill in the air. now it's all mainly 40s. mix of sun and high clouds. a little bit more sunshine today though, and slightly warmer temps. that next system will drag across us tomorrow for some light rain, mainly north bay. so your two for tuesday is more sun and some warmer temps, so i look for some low to mid 60s today. temperatures near average to a little bit above. all right sal is here. south bay somewhere else. >> we have to go to martinez. steve, where 680 is pretty slow this morning southbound. they had an earlier crash near oak, the oak park exit. that's gone

now. however, traffic is very slow from martinez all the way to walnut creek and even beyond that into danville. just don't be surprised by that. 242 is backed up to highway four. it's that kind of morning after that one crash. richmond bridge looks okay, no major issues. everyone always wants to know about the bay bridge that's backed up to the maze. 801 let's get back to the headlines. >> let's continue that developing story in the east bay. we're following here. a domestic disturbance has led to a police shooting. concord police have blocked off the 1900 block of natoma drive. this is near willow pass road. ktvu jesse gary closer to the scene now than we've seen in earlier hours this morning. >> jesse garcia, good morning to you. and just over the course of the last hour, and actually right now you're seeing kind of a swap up of vehicles and officers, sheriff's deputies. et cetera. as the people who were here overnight are moving and leaving the scene and new officers and sheriff's deputies are moving on scene. also, more

neighbors are up this hour, but so far only one willing to talk to us off camera. who said that? the house where this violence occurred. the family is quiet. they usually keep to themselves. let's go ahead. take a look at our video. the initial 911 call was placed around 130 this morning for an altercation at 1930 natoma drive. that's near the intersection of santa rita drive. a neighbor tells us a son stabbed his father, and when concord police arrived a short time later, there was a police shooting. the stabbing victim was taken to john mayer hospital. we do not know his condition. the suspect, his son, was hit by police gunfire at least once, his condition also unknown. concord police tell us that they plan to have a written statement with more details sometime later this morning, but we don't know exactly what time coming back live. you can see those are the detectives that just arrived on scene. and so they're opening their vehicles and taking out equipment, presumably to continue the investigation that began last night. we're still waiting to

hopefully get a statement from them sometime in short order, so we can provide you with more details. we'll have to check in with you again within the next hour. for now, we are live in concord. jesse gary, ktvu, fox two news. garcia, back to you in oakland. >> jesse. thank you. across the bay now happening in san francisco, muni is launching a major project to replace a controversial bike lane on valencia street in the mission district. >> construction crews are set to begin the bike lane project this morning. the work is expected to take 2 or 3 months. crews will tear out the bike lane that currently runs down the center of valencia street, and replace it with a traditional lane on the side of the road. whitney says the project will likely cause some traffic delays and require the removal of some street parking. the center bike lane has been unpopular with residents and local business owners for the past few years, and criticized by bikers as unsafe. even so, some are frustrated with the delays to move the bike lane. >> it's too busy of a street. restaurants always have to have deliveries. you have to have produce coming in, you have to have other delivery companies

coming in and stuff like that. so imagine, like they can't park here. they can't. we have to block the lanes over there. so it's frustrating for everyone. >> the city first installed the center bike lane two years ago, hoping to ease a growing conflict between bike riders and drivers on valencia street. but many people who live and work in the area say the lane in the middle of the roadway has only increased those tensions. some residents hope the changes will be less disruptive for businesses. >> i think that if we can come up with a plan that has delivery zones and people can make their deliveries in specific places, i think that would be very helpful. >> muni's plan will allow the restaurants along valencia street to keep their parklets open during the construction. in most cases, the bike lane will go around the parklets. construction will start at the southern end of the corridor, 23rd street and move northward, but muni says the work may also take place in locations along valencia. at the same

time. >> members of asian immigrant communities are sharing their concerns about the trump administration's plans for deportation. most of the undocumented immigrants in california are from mexico and central america. asian immigrants make up the second largest group to empower the undocumented community. advocates are now holding know your rights training sessions in chinese, hindi, punjabi and other languages meant to educate immigrants about their constitutional rights should they be confronted by federal agents. >> well, protesters across the country spent the president's day holiday pushing back against president trump and his administration's policies nationwide. >> there's anger over the current state of government. the protests were part of 5051, a grassroots movement that organized 50 protests in 50 states. on one day, the demonstrators focused on a series of layoffs across federal agencies. more than 1000 people took to the streets of san jose, holding anti-trump signs calling his recent policies anti-democratic and illegal. elon musk was also a frequent target of the protests. >> we knew trump was bad, but we

didn't know elon was going to be the president, and i think that we're kind of off about that. that is, things are going in the wrong direction. >> it is more than just president trump and elon musk ignoring the will, the people. it's also them ignoring the fundamental basis of the american way. >> protesters say they hope if they make enough noise, their representatives will listen. musk and president trump have defended the department of government efficiency, claiming the project is identifying fraud and government waste. >> well, protesters also are planning for more demonstrations in the future. yesterday, dozens of people marched through monterey county calling for change in the white house's immigration policies. >> i've lived in this country all my life. i've lived in salinas all my life. i was raised to believe that all value, all people have value. all people have matter. nobody is illegal. >> demonstrators say with president trump in office for the next four years, they must

focus their attention on state and local governments to stand up to and challenge the white house. >> the oakland chapter of the naacp is celebrating this black history month by showcasing the talents of young people in the east bay. it's the 14th year of the celebration. this year is arise and thrive in 2025. on top of performing poetry and music, many of the teens involved are also helping with community service, including serving meals to people who are homeless. >> you can help people. that's the best thing ever because you're not worrying about yourself. you're worrying about other people. selflessness. and that's what the naacp is. >> you can motivate other young black women to chase their dreams and go for everything that they want, and take every opportunity that they have to show everything and never to just back down. >> the teens performed poetry, including cameron lipson, who won silver in the poetry writing category of the national competition last year. other teens sang and recited poetry to

voice what's important to them and encourage others to follow their dreams. >> time now is 808, and we still have a bigger backup at the bay bridge, which is not going to surprise everyone. it seems like a monday on this tuesday. you can see that the san mateo bridge also does have crowded conditions. it's getting a little better though, as it usually does as we get closer to nine. southbound 680, though, really has taken it on the chin. we're seeing some improvement, but we had some earlier problems on 680 in pleasant hill, and now it looks like we might have a new crash southbound 680 at willow pass road. so 680 can't win this morning. and it's slow. by the way, after walnut creek into alamo. 809 let's go back to the desk. >> well, as we recognize the contributions of african americans in shaping our communities, we'll bring you the story of a california judge and daughter of nigerian immigrants. >> pedestrian safety has long been a concern in san francisco. one of the reasons many are puzzled over a plan to cut the number of school crossing

guards. how much the cuts would be expected to save. >> after a car accident. [music] beware of insurance companies bearing small checks. if you've been injured, you may feel 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. jacoby and meyers. because everyone

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]

this morning. there is a large police presence in concord right now. overnight, officers responded to a situation on natoma drive near willow pass road, an area northwest of concord high school. we're told there was a fight between a father and son inside theolice e was a shooting. we're working to get more information there at the scene. the san francisco municipal transportation agency could eliminate some school crossing guard positions at today's board meeting. sfmta says cutting school crossing guards would save about $3 million. right now, 160 school crossing guards work in san francisco. some say the program

is already short staffed, and say even fewer crossing guards will make the city a more dangerous place for pedestrians. >> president trump's federal hiring freeze is having a major impact on the u.s. department of interior. at least 1000 full time employees have been terminated for or from their roles with the national park service. the mass firings include park rangers, custodians, and even some search and rescue teams. the park service says it will not be cutting firefighters or law enforcement. >> investigators in both canada and the u.s. are working on the crash of a delta airlines plane in toronto. the plane the pilot was attempting to land the plane in stormy weather yesterday when it crashed on the runway and ended up upside down on its roof. 18 people were hurt. they are all expected to fully recover. still, this and other recent plane crashes in the u.s. have many travelers questioning the safety of air travel. this morning, we're asking if you feel safe. almost evenly split, but the yes vote has it by just 1%. you can weigh in by heading to ktvu.com vote.

>> well, this month we're recognizing contributions of african americans who are shaping communities across northern california and black americans to judge bunmi awoniyi celebrated her one year anniversary as the first black presiding judge in sacramento county superior court last month. she says she was challenged in her first year, but her initial expectations were exceeded in many positive ways. even though she wasn't always sure she wanted to be a judge. >> sort of just chose law. not because i'd done an undergraduate course study, not because i had relatives, because it was one of the options that was provided to me. >> judge juan yee was born in england to nigerian immigrants. her journey to northern california began through an international legal program that offered her a chance to represent her home country abroad. >> the black panther party museum in oakland unveiled a new exhibit as part of black history month. the exhibit is called survival pending revolution. it highlights the black panther party survival programs in the 1960s and 70s, which were often

unseen or overlooked in media coverage at the time. visitors will explore how the panthers fed children, opened schools, set up health clinics and offered a free ambulance service in winston-salem, north carolina. >> it was very racist in north carolina, and they would not pick up black people in their neighborhood to take them to the doctor. so the panthers, they got a hearse, they converted it into an ambulance. they trained as emts, and they did 24 seven ambulance services for their community. >> the new exhibit comes on the birthday of the late huey newton, who co-founded the black panther party in oakland and the 30th anniversary of the doctor huey newton foundation. his widow, fredrika newton, has long fought to add depth and nuance to the history books. >> didn't portray a brother as anything other than a scary, angry black man with a gun, but they didn't show him up at 5:00 in the morning, feeding children. >> the black panther party museum in downtown oakland is open wednesday through saturday.

>> time is 816, and again, we have to go back to concord, walnut creek and danville. alamo southbound 680 is getting better finally, but we did have a big backup in the stretch between concord and walnut creek because of earlier issues, some pesky accidents. and then we have some slow trafficre, so don't let that catch you by surprise today. it is taking longer than usual. bay bridge is backed up still to the maze. metering lights are on and we do have traffic. that's going to be okay there. san jose traffic is finally beginning to fill in a little bit. looks like my 280 camera may be down, so let's just go to the grid. northbound two 8101 and 85. that's i would say that's pretty good for a tuesday after a holiday. you can see that traffic is moving along. okay. now at 817 let's bring steve back with today's weather. >> so thank you kindly, sir. we do have some 30s this morning. i think orinda was the coldest i saw at 36 woodside, felton scotts valley was in there as

well. sonoma, alamo, pinole, fairfax and los altos, all between 36 and 39 degrees 40. now though, unless you're up in lake county, then middletown, kelseyville and upper lake are in there. but fairfax holding on to 39. probably not any more in sonoma now 40. i think good old occidental got down to 40 as well. point reyes station was also 39. mix of sun, high clouds, a few more i think. a little more sun today. the seasonal rainfall. it's a little better down south than it was, which was just as, you know, abysmal. hardly. they were in single digits. not much better in san diego. la is at least 60% now, almost six inches, but 4.46 in santa barbara. that's only %. but look at redding, 31.5. crescent city 4184. there's going to be a lot of rain up towards eureka, arcata, crescent city, near the oregon california border over the next seven days. just a heads up there. and santa rosa at over 37 is 164% of normal. but redding. and that is translating into a lot of water into lake shasta. san francisco
