is still suspended. james and darya. >> thanks a lot. the big story this morning is in the east bay. 2 people are dead, several others in critical condition after a chaotic and dangerous holiday weekend. oakland's police chief says it was one of the most violent 4th of july holidays that he can remember with kron four's theresa stasi with more on what happened. >> chaos and disorder on the streets of oakland. this is what faced residents living in the east bay city on the 4th of july in a 24 hour period. the police chief monday listing off the shootings. the deaths, the assaults on officers, the crime which engulfed the at about 06:25pm in the 5400 block. 5700 block of a little bit. elizabeth street where a male adult. >> 29 years old. was shot multiple times while driving in his vehicle. that sort of led to the beginning of a very challenging even for officers as well for the community. take a closer look in total.
5:03 am
there were 7 shootings. one ruled a homicide. >> one in critical condition. one a suspicious death and then a shooting where a woman found bleeding was rushed to the hospital and then there is this dangerous sideshows popping up at intersections throughout oakland to exacerbate the problem even worse. >> we encountered a very large and extremely violent and dangerous side show. >> this sideshow reached a number of over 300 vehicles in over 200 additional spectators. a significant dangerous threats to our officers. why the use of firearms as well lasers pointed at the officers and then objects being thrown at the officers as if that's not bad enough illegal fireworks exploded in the sky call centers. overwhelmed. >> flooded with complaints and a police force on able to keep up. >> opd was unable to manage any fireworks related activity
5:04 am
in from my perspective, it was not appropriate for us to focus on fireworks. why we we're seeing experience in the potential loss of life. >> chief ended on this brief. but significant summation on where his city is and what happens next and response to lawlessness. >> this is a warm summer. we have 67 homicides. this is been a different year. this has been this year has been challenging for us since the beginning going into 2020. it has not slowed and so i don't you know, previously. i would have told you that hopefully this slows down the pandemic allows these things to open back up. but we haven't seen theresa kron 4 news. >> there's so much violence and so many calls for service that ambulances and paramedics are having a real hard time keeping up with the volume of calls. >> our fall and the last system was over inundated with calls and they were unable to respond in a timely manner to
5:05 am
the and so everybody was consumed with these issues not only the police department. also ambulances didn't have enough resources that come out of the system is and that just goes to show to the level of violence that we were managing is that we didn't have ambulances available to you know, comment provide medical support. >> ambulance service in the city of oakland is provided through a service called fall cuts a 5 year contract with alameda county, the agency provides service to most of alameda county chief armstrong go says that officers had to step up to provide medical services for several of the victims. they were just inundated. >> contra costa county firefighters responded more than 50 fires on july 4th. most of them grass fires, including this one near 6.80, in martinez. it got dangerously close to some homes. but none was damaged despite the busy night. fire officials say they're actually fewer fires this 4th of july than there were last year.
5:06 am
>> temperatures were slightly lower last compared to the year before and unity is recycling higher and that no doubt contributed to a lot of grass fires that might have started taking hold not doing so last night. >> most cars in contra, costa county came from the pittsburgh antioch area. there were also several medical calls related to fireworks and we should get more details about that later this week. 5. '06, right now. take a look at the mess left behind in san francisco before and after pictures 3rd street and burke avenue. public works crews have been picking up debris dumped by people who set off illegal fireworks look at all of that trash. it was also busy in the north bay police responding to several sideshows and illegal fireworks explosions in vallejo. take a look at videos posted on social media shows the hundreds of people on the streets there. at least 11 sideshows were spotted all
5:07 am
across the city of vallejo sunday night gunshots from automatic weapons. we're in the crowd and at one of the side shows to spectators were hit by cars doing donuts along broadway and illinois. a police spokesperson says that responding officers were met with fireworks being thrown at them. and then the next morning businesses along broadway street were seen left damaged and tagged with graffiti. city leaders say that people need to be held accountable for this because they're wild stunts. their illegal events and they're dangerous in the south bay san jose made it illegal to promote sideshows and social media threatening people with fines and possible jail time. santa rosa, police say 35 year-old man was killed in a drive-by shooting. 3 others were also shot. 2 of them. >> we're teenagers. this happened early yesterday morning on beechwood drive.
5:08 am
that's just west of highway one. oh, one, we have kron four's taylor sacking now with more on what happened there. >> santa rosa. police say the suspects are still out there and family members of the victims who i spoke with off camera say they're very worried police say the suspects got away after crashing their car and then running from that area. they're now using all information from and inside that vehicle to track down whoever is responsible. >> a memorial now grows at beechwood greenwood drives in santa rosa after a drive-by shooting early monday morning that left 35 year-old javier montez dead and 3 others injured. santa rosa police say it all happened after a large illegal fireworks gathering with up to 100 people when officers arrived out there. we found 4 people have been shot by. >> a suspected drive-by shooting. one person was deceased. 2 teenagers were shot and one female in her late 20's was also shot sergeant her and says. >> he 29 year-old woman in 17 year-old female are currently
5:09 am
in critical condition. on a 16 year-old boy has non life threatening injuries, bullet holes and markers are now left behind. indicating up to 30 rounds were fired. says the suspects were in a silver honda accord when they started shooting initially hitting 3 of the victims as the vehicle tried to flee the area. he says there was a second exchange of gunfire where someone in the crowd fired back. that's when a bullet struck the 29 year-old woman outside of her home when the drive-by shooting happened, the car actually crashed into a parked vehicle and the suspects fled from the car so we do have that car to running down. anybody associated with that car right now. >> anything we found in the car trying to run down those leads and some witness statements, police don't believe the 2 teenagers or a 29 year-old woman were targeted but instead caught up in the gunfire of others may have had gang ties in the crowd. we know that people most neighborhoods ring cameras or surveillance footage, people just around that midnight time but after a little bit before really checking those cameras, seeing what you may have on there
5:10 am
even if you just see someone running past. >> police are urging neighbors who live in the area to check their surveillance cameras. if you have any information about the incident or the suspects. please contact the police and santa rosa taylor kron 4 news. >> all right, thank you, taylor now, check out this video. it shows thieves making a break for it from the marcus store in downtown san francisco. watch the doors. there they come arms full of thousands of dollars worth of handbags. as many as 10 thieves apparently took off with those stolen handbags. again, this was a unit square. and as with the camera panned, you'll see they're waiting getaway cars that one appeared to look like a white 2 door infiniti with tinted windows. >> this is the 3 getaway cars, least. yeah. so this is the second neiman marcus to be hit in the bay area may remember there was a similar incident happened back in may. but that was a store at the stanford shopping center. we're doing some quick math. it had to be at least. >> i mean, think it look, that guy has like 5 or 6 most of

5:17 am
keeping law enforcement and firefighters busy crews even deployed a drone. one of the thoughts was to use that drone as additional bit of technology to try to provide us with locations on aerial fireworks. >> got to be yeah. especially with it to getting hotter as we get into the weekend and it's always the case after the 4th of july. even after new year's to people have leftover fireworks. yeah. i feel like all fun will do it next weekend. we'll get. we'll we'll so they're on the watch this all week for people setting off fireworks shot and this weekend it's going to be like triple digits. exactly. at least we were spared that peak fire danger by what was a cooler past 4th of july weekend humidity was also relatively high. >> and that definitely helped us out with fire potential in the bay area that changes as we make our way into next week. so i know that those crews are going to keeping a close eye on that. partly because fire danger is going to increase along with temperatures along with this continued dry weather. we're
5:18 am
