of us are talking at the same time. >> reporter: it's the scenario that played out yesterday, four different locations for one crime, and the chief says that is not good. >> because if you have four officers on a scene and they are saying four different things in four different locations and all pushing the button at the same time and that locks out a system that's unacceptable. >> reporter: over the next three days they will be testing this radio system. the mayor says at the end of this test she wants answers. in oakland, linda yee, cbs5. neighbors evacuated a other bay area headlines now. just about an hour ago concord neighbors evacuated because of a bomb scare and they were allowed to go back home. it's an area near clayton road and maria avenue. bomb experts from the military were called in to check out some military grade shells she brought home in her truck after cleaning out some out buildings. the shells turned out to be empty. dozens of pit bulls are in need of new homes.
