street. police say it happened at 8:45 last night. two people were taken to the hospital with stab wounds. they were attacked here in the walnut creek car wash parking lot. witnesses say there was a huge fight that broke out between five people. police launched an intense search last night. and now have announced they arrested two people. some residents in the apartment say they heard the yelling and the arguing right before the stabbing. this comes as a shock to people who live in this area. people say violence here is so uncommon that some were quick to conclude that the victims weren't randomly attacked, though police have not said. >> nothing like that ever happens around here. it's quiet. i don't know. had to do something. >> it's pretty good area. it's definitely upper-middle. definitely out of the ordinary. >> reporter: police arrested jorge and rojelio from

walnut creek who are book on assault with deadly weapon and held with $50,000 bail. two of the victims were taken to the hospital and underwent surgery last night. we're told they are in stable condition. a third victim was okay. he was hurt but refused treatment at the scene. amy hollyfield, abc7 news. >> thank you. . california has a new budget deal one the governor and democratic lawmakers can both agree on. republicans don't like it though it calls for deep spending cuts like they've been calling for all this time. terry mcsweeney will explain. >> reporter: it relies on billions of additional revenue. two weeks ago, the governor vetoed a democratic plan because it relied on accounting gimmicks. this new one assumes that the state will bring in extra $4 billion in revenues. revenues have been running

higher than expected in recent months but if it's wrong, k-12 schools could see billion dollars in cut and school transportation could see $250 million in cuts. health and human services and state universities could lose $200 million each. >> they get to decide what is cut and decide which programs do or don't exist. their decision. if schools close for a week it's their decisions rather than making cuts in other places that would make more sense. >> budget highlights, redevelopment agencies are eliminated. there is sales tax on online retailers. vehicle registration fees going up $12. deep cult to higher education. no public employee pension reform, something republicans wanted. we'll know by january if the anticipated revenues are a reality. that is when additional cuts would be made if necessary. live in the newsroom, terry mcsweeney, abc7 news. >> thank you.
