you can see the bmw suv still up against the wall. and just after 2:00 this afternoon, that suv was pinning a pair of 6-year-old twin boys against that wall. and the nanny and their 11-year-old brother were screaming and more than a dozen people ran over to help push the suv off of the boys. we talked to one of those who helped earlier, and he told me it took a few minutes to free the boys from the pinning to that wall. he says one of the boys who was pinned, you could see only his

they saw people leave, followed that suv and then the shootout followed. it wasn't a chance encounter based on an all-points bulletin. there are serious questions left unanswered here. i think it's fair to say officials don't know the answer. the fbi has not taken over that investigation. the justice department official tells me. there have been concern or indication that was happening. police are very much involved. it's obvious the fbi is very much a partner now in this investigation. >> what about this issue of devices? ever since earlier today there were concerns there might be explosives left behind at the scene of the shooting or perhaps in that suv. were we offered clarity there? >> they don't confirm that they found any explosive devices. my understanding of what the police chief said at the inland regional center is the gunmen brought things in they thought might be explosives, but they didn't confirm they were, in fact, explosives there. they said there was a device, apparently thrown from the suv. it turned out to be a nerd. it was perhaps a pie

the tow truck arrived to the red suv from the house. the sheriff office says this is around 1:30 this morning when the deputy saw the suv driver run a red light or stop sign and short chase before the driver crashed into the house. deputies had the suv towed just across the street as investigators dusted for fingerprints in and outside and searching the vehicle with flash lites. we noticed children's toys outside but thankfully no reports of any injuries. >>> i'm kris sanchez in the newsroom and a number of social issue raised at the academy awards and the most anticipated was diversity in hollywood. >> i'm here at the academy awards, otherwise known as the white people's choice awards. >> now, the academy president did say that everyone has to be part of the culture change, which is what vice president joe biden said as he introduced lady gaga's performance. leonardo dicaprio used his first oscar acceptance speech to call for more global action on climate change. now, by the way, change is what one filmmaker said she got. the winner of

it was a speeding suv that was going above the posted speed limit. it hit and ran over this woman as she was walking in the middle of the crosswalk. again, with the lights activated and looking right away, unfortunately, that suv did not stop according to police. it did stop briefly at a light down the street but then continued on the interstate and has not been seen since. >> right now what we're looking for is either a heavy tahoe or suburban. it was light in color. we don't know if it was silver, light brown, but we did get some good information from our witness. and right now we're investigating the incident. >> and police believe that the suv does have some front-end danger from the impact with this woman. they have not identified the woman. she did survive the initial impact and had a faint heartbeat when paramedics arrived but she died later at the hospital. reporting live here in san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." >>> now to breaking news in san francisco where octavia street is shut down right now as police investigate a crash between

and officers came across that suv. we believe that both men were inside and still possibly armed. they tried to pull the driver over in the suv last night around 10:45 at 13th and international in oakland but as you could see in the video, the driver did not comply. he led officers on a chase through oakland on to the freeway and as you could see across the bay bridge. now this video from our camera at the toll plaza showed the suv with three patrol cars in pursuit. it seems like the suv was traveling at or around highway speeds at the time. chp joined at one point. once across the bay bridge the driver to the suv exited on to san francisco surface streets where he was able to lose law enforcement. officers eventually found the suv abandoned by buena vista park. this is in the ash bury heights part. they did search for the suspects but no look in finding them. police will not indicate whether or not they know who these men are. reporting live here in oakland, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> let's hope they catch the
