court, a ban on assault weapons. these are weapons of war tuesday. the white house echoed that call. we need to make sure that we ban assault right? that is one of the things that's being reported >> that suspect had. but the majority of republican lawmakers argue gun control is still not the answer. in a tweet, colorado republican congresswoman lauren boebert. >> said, quote, restricting the freedom of law abiding americans will never, ever make us safer. boebert is one of dozens of republicans who voted against the new compromise gun safety bill that president biden signed into law last month. that was an important first step. tuesday. the president said he does not know if he'll visit the shooting site, but did order flags be lowered to half-staff in honor of the at least 7 victims killed and dozens injured at the parade. it remains unclear when or if president biden will visit the community of highland park. but we know the vice president

assault weapons will likely go nowhere in this congress because there are just not in a vote on the democrats side to get that done. yeah. it took decades to just get this gun safety bill. thank you. >> raquel martin reporting live for us from washington, d.c., thanks, rick. >> now to the latest on the war in ukraine. russia continues to make advances in the eastern part of ukraine. russian president vladimir putin claimed victory in the eastern province of lohan's ke ukrainian troops withdrew from their last stronghold in that province over the weekend. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy is hoping for a counterattack is the russians move towards the larger eastern city of donetsk. brittney griner made an appeal to president biden in a heartfelt letter asking him. >> to not forget about me and the other american detainees. that letter was passed on to the white house through her representatives saying that she fears she may never return home. griner's agent says that the letter was delivered on

concord and 76 degrees in santa rosa. the sea breeze continuing. and it will do so overnight tonight, deep enough bringing that marine layer % well on shore all the way in the central valley overnight tonight. so it going to be a thick blanket of fog developing around the bay area. but look what off the coastline missing? a little swirl in the atmosphere rescheduled a little low pressure center that's out there right now. that's going to really kind enforce that marine their move further on shore, probably deep enough that we're talking drizzle along the coastline. again, maybe couple patches inside the bait. here's the good news with that fresh ocean air. we've got the fresh, a bay area or to all around all the way to the valleys, looking good air quality wise. and that's way it's going to stay kind of interesting here, though. watch what in the atmosphere. we've got that low off the coastline approaching the coast deepens. the marine layer and you got fog and low clouds everywhere. tomorrow morning. maybe a the slick for the roadways early on tomorrow morning by the afternoon, a pull back to the coastline. but then again, we've got another swirl in the atmosphere. you see that right there. that will factor into thursday and friday to bring

us another round of some low clouds and fog. but i think overall, i think we'll see a slow warming trend of the weekend that starts to get hot as we head in towards sunday into monday of next week. temperatures drop 15 60's and the san francisco about 60 degrees in daly city. a lot of fog along the coastline and some drizzle to was very wet out there today. 66 degrees in millbrae. 67 in burlingame, 72 degrees of warmth in redwood city. 73 amount to the south in joint temperatures of the mid 70's tomorrow afternoon. up some morning fog, a foggy skies early on in the east bay, too. but by the afternoon near the 7 th running a little bit below the average for this time of year, but not by much. 75 degrees in pittsburgh. 77 in benicia back toward the coastline. we'll keep those temperatures cooler with that fog 50's and 60's there about 75 in nice and sunny by the afternoon in santa rosa. here we go. look at our the next few days will watch those temperatures march of the scale a bit into friday, a little more sunshine as we head in toward the weekend that we start to crank up the temperatures. i think on sunday getting hot inland back in the 90's getting close to triple digits by next week.
