slumped over. and that she was bleeding. we want to show you video from the scene. they were in the suv heading west towards san francisco. i 80 this morning at 9:00 a.m. someone shot at the car. you can see the passenger window blasted out by the gunfire. a man who identified himself as the victim's grandfather says she was 28. she was living in antioch. where her two boys. judy says she's the mother of her fiance. drive who was driving the car. it was not a case of road rage. and her son spoke up from the backseat. >> he just heard the shots. and he didn't even know she was hit. the little boy said what happened to mommy? the oldest one. and my son said he looked and he noticed she was gone.

blood was everywhere. >> she was doing the intsa cart thing. and that's what she did. she worked and tried to keep herself going. and keep her boys happy. >> they keep asking for her. i don't know what to say. >> we keep doing these stories. there are a lot of traffic cameras near the bay bridge. what's the chp saying? >> detectives are investigating. we saw from sky ranger they were also talking to some witnesses. but if you were heading towards san francisco on the bay bridge from oakland. around 9:00 a.m. this morning. and maybe you saw something. maybe you have dash cam video. chp wants to hear from you. we heard from the mother of the fiance of the victim. this was around 9:00. there were a lot of people heading to san francisco. that morning. and she's just asking anybody if you saw something. please speak up. please talk to an investigator.

>> our hearts go out to the family. we have this. a poorly planned prank. that's what police are calling what they first told us was of the abduction of 15 year-old girl. the alleged abduction triggered an amber alert. investigators say she was taken by her boyfriend and his friends. as a joke. outside of this station. yesterday. they were headed it a road trip to l.a. this was video from the gas station. once the girl was in the car she realized she was with her friends and no danger. it's unclear if any charges will be filed. related to the incident. >> there might be an app for their jobs. court interpreters may strike. the union is fighting for more pay and suggestions that the interpreters could be replaced with an app. if they walk, it could bring court proceedings to a screeching halt. >> we have the story.

says a court attorney sent this. the idea of using an app. like google translate. >> i haven't found an app yet that can replace a human being. there's cultural differences. there's body language. one word can mean two or three different word in either language. >> the union says a court lawyer wanted to enter the idea as hearing exhibit. but backed off. we reached out to the lawyer and haven't heard back. the smokes man for the court did respond saying they can't comment on ongoing negotiations. they value and rely on court interpreters. >> just the idea of an app alarmed the interpreters and several trial lawyers. who say they rely on precise communication. >> there's a communication level in a comfort level that they bring to a client. that you will never get from an app. and a client needs to be able to ask questions. and how are you going to do that through an app? >> there's no word on when the

board may make a ruling. a decision that could have a huge impact at the hall of justice. walking in sympathy. thousands of healthcare workers walked off the job for a one day strike. to show support for striking engineers. more on the tension that is brewing. >> as you can see behind me. a very large number of healthcare workers. have walked out of the kaiser location here. in redwood city. and 20 other locations. for patients, this means possible longer waits in the emergency room. elective and non-urgent appointments cancelled and rescheduled. shut down of services and temporary closure of some out patient pharmacies. they represent the healthcare workers tells me they believe thousands have walked out. this morning. and could grow to ten of thousands by later in the day.

this is to show solidarity. a one day walk out strike. with the kaiser engineers. who have been on strike for the last two months over alleged unfair labor practices and pay. now the union for healthcare workers striking today says kaiser can afford to pay engineers more. given the billions of dollars in profit from the pandemic. and the dozens of executives with million dollar salaries. >> share the wealth. respect the working people. who are keeping the organization functioning. >> this one day sympathy strike comes despite the fact that kaiser recently came to agreements with healthcare workers and pharmacists. who threatened to strike. kaiser says their current offer to the engineers will keep the engineers among the best compensated in their profession and average of more than $180,000 in total wages and benefits. releasing a statement that reads in part. after many hours bargaining tuesday and wednesday there's no

movement n. negotiation with local 39. the union insists it received much more in some cases nearly two times more than other union agreements covering employees. >> thank you. up next. taking on instagram. this is a big deal. the reason california top prosecutor is launching an investigation. >> get ready to look up into the sky tonight. when you can see a partial eclipse. >> i'll update you on the drought and the rain chances ahead. i'm back with that.

>> she is visiting san francisco with her teen. an avid user. she thinks a closer look at how it operates couldn't hurt. >> young kids pay attention to how other kids look. how they appear and sometimes they compare themselves. and want to be like that. of course it create some self-esteem issues. >> attorney general among a group of state attorneys general that want answers. in a statement he said quote for too long they ignored the havoc that intsa fwram is reeking on the mental health and well being of the children and teens. this college student also thinks an investigation is over due. >> they spend hours scrolling and scrolling. with no physical movement. such little mental stimulus. i see it among all my peers. >> the investigation is looking at how the social media giant promotes use of platform to

young people and whether laws were violated. we spoke about the probe. >> this is an area we need a lot more transparency. and adds many people probably know. there have been leaks that offered kind o a window into behind the curtain. of facebook and instagram. i think we need more. that's my first key thing. i'm glad that there's going to be an investigation. >> a spokesperson responded to the investigation. sp in a statement that read in part these accusations are false and demonstrate a deep misunderstanding of the facts. adding we continue to build new features to help people who might be dealing with negative social comparisons or body image issues. >> space x might be launching a new era of space flight. come january. musk hopes to conduct a test flight of his new star ship rocket. developing the new rocket to
