working alone. but he was wear body armor. his backup officers tell us they heard a round of gunshots fired and they found him down. now, sources tell cbs 5 that officer capoot was shot several times in the back. of course it was a chaotic scene in this neighborhood. here's how the residents reacted as cops combed through their block. >> i heard five or six gunshots and we came out the house, seen a lot of police, a lot of people running around. i seen a lot of guns everywhere. >> i seen them tearing the blinds off the windows and coming in my mother's house. >> i'm sure they were looking for a suspect but i don't think it was this where they had to do this type of stuff looking for a suspect. >> reporter: and after he was shot, capoot was rushed to nearby kaiser hospital in vallejo where he later died. as you can see here, his colleagues from the police department gathering hugging each other for the tragedy. now, capoot is the first officer to be killed in the line of duty in vallejo in more than 11 years. as for the suspect, there were preliminary reports that there

could have been as many as three suspects but the police believe he was one lone suspect and they think they got him. back to you guys. >> all right, thank you, gil diaz. dozens of law enforcement officers and community members watched as a van carrying officer capoot's body drove away in a procession from kaiser hospital in vallejo. officer capoot was beloved in his community of vallejo where he worked and vacaville where he lived. he received two medals of courage, two life-saving medals and a number of other honors in the vallejo police department and he was a mentor and coach in the community helping a number of young people there. >> our prayers go out to him and his family right now because i know it's a tough time and i'm really going to miss him because he was there for me through a lot of stuff with my family. >> he basically kind of helped raise me and he was basically family to me. >> capoot was not coaching this year because he and his wife had taken in two children of some friends who were killed in

movement because of the few camps remaining. >> reporter: final notices were issued but no raid yet. is there any plan of a that is being discussed if the raids happen? >> i think that the plan of action will be the same as the usual plan of action if there is a raid which is something along the lines of martin luther king style nonviolent resistance which is the way it is around other camps in the country. >> reporter: thank you. tents on market street are gone. a public health official says there have been improvements. even if they get in compliance, the city says they can't be here forever. back to you. >> thank you. >> you have been out there before. does it seem cleaner to you? >> the smellisn'tt as strong.

far right lanes, so no reports of anything going on. as far as we know right now early commuters getting a head start on the morning commute but again the middle fastrak lanes look okay. we'll let you know if we see anything going on but so far it looks to be okay heading into san francisco. and over by the oracle in oakland 880 this is a live look near the coliseum. so as you can see here everything is pretty much moving at top speeds this morning on northbound and southbound 880. it's a smooth trip towards hayward or up towards downtown oakland. that's traffic and weather. back to you. >> thank you. in the headlines, a memorial to a slain officer is growing at the vallejo police department this morning. 19-year veteran officer james capoot was gunned down while trying to catch a bank robbery suspects. the shooter is in custody.
