suspicious? >> reporter: at this point the chief feels it is suspicious because nobody was living near the building and there is no reason why the fire would start accidentally. most of the fire has been knocked down and it is very dark down there, as you push into the pier the fire department will come in here and try to get to the underside of the pier and take care of the smoldering wood. let's show you what it looked like after we got on scene. the fire department really had to take a defensive position on this fire and stay back. mostly they had to just spray water from the shoreline because they didn't want to send crews out on to the pier because the pier itself was on fire. it was just before 4:00 a.m. and we are right near the intersection of jackson and

lori in crocket. the chief said there was nobody inside the building at that time and they had just called in a fire boat from the pittsburgh fire department and they explained why they are using this fire boat. >> the part that is acting is unable to get to that and that will be the goal of the fire boat when it arrives. >> they will spray water on the underside of the pier and make sure the embers are out. >> reporter: it is really just a stone's throw away from the sugar factory. it is drifting away from the pier and the determine was is that -- the concern was, it would drift over towards the sugar factory and they are warning to keep an eye out for the burning pieces of wood and they would make sure there is no damage. you can see it has been put out

but now an investigation will be put there because this fire does appear to be suspicious. oakland police are investigating a shooting that seriously injured one man which happened at 8:00 on crest avenue. they heard about 30 rounds which sounded like an assault rifle. the victim was found on sun kiss drive. he was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. so far no arrests have been made. they have been working to stop the surge in violence. six people have been killed so far this year. police blame much of the violence on rival gangs which started when a young woman was killed last summer. gangs have been responsible for the city's violent crime.

>> we know there is 20% causing this violence and we are focused on them. >> city leaders want them to declare a state of emergency but chief jordan said that is not necessary. they are already getting more help from chp and the police academy plans on adding 70 more police officers. and in an effort to fight crime, william bradden is expected to start next month and we will have more on why so many groups are protesting that move. the u.s. government will run out of money to pay its bills if congress does not raise the debt ceiling. president barack obama will not negotiate with congress on this issue. while republicans want any increase in the debt ceiling to be tied to spending cuts... >> the issue here is whether or

not america pays its bills. we are not attend beat nation and so -- there is a very simple solution to this. >> now in a statement, house speaker phil boehner indicated the republican party is prepared for a fight and the consequences of increasing the debt ceiling are real but so too is the consequences of allowing our spending problem to go unresolved. they are closely watching this debt ceiling battle in washington and if congress does not act on the debt ceiling, the national economy could fall and that would have a negative affect on california's budget numbers. they revealed a budget surplus in many years and that's thanks to a new tax revenue from proposition 30 as well as spending cuts. the social media is buzzing about a possible announcement

by facebook. janine de la vega joins us now from menlo park with more on a mystery event that is going to take place in just a few hours, good morning. >> reporter: good morning pam, we did see several news vehicles and as the morning goes on the area is expected to fill up and that's because at 10:00 a.m. facebook is anticipating a news conference to unveil something. we don't know what that something is just yet but they say come see what we are building. most people agree they are not talking about an actual building even though they are expanding their campus. some analysts are shooting down the idea of a phone because mark zuckerberg said a phone does not make sense. facebook is his top pry yourty and -- priority and he may

unveil a search engine so users would not have to leave the facebook site. it has caused the facebook stock to end on a six month high on friday and the question is, will it live up to its hype. conferences have been pretty low key but it seems as though they are stealing a page from apple so we will just have to wait and see. live from menlo park, janine de la vega ktvu channel 2 morning news. we are learning new information about last week's oil tanker accident in the san francisco bay. the bar pay lot made a last -- bar pilot made a last minute turn which sideswiped the bridge. it is still not clear what led up to this abrupt change in course and the accident caused several millions of dollars to the bridge and to the ship. they planned to rename the san francisco national airport

after harvey milk will be considered. david will be considering it and he needs to for five other supervisors to put that question on the november ballot. voters approved the name change after honoring an openly gay person. harvey milk was shot and killed by former san francisco supervisor dan white back in 1978. how is the commute looking, sal? >> it is looking good so far and the traffic continues to move around nicely around the bay and this is a look at highway 4 coming in from antioch and it is a nice drive to the concord area. 680 looks good and no problems on 80 even on the carquinez bridges a you drive across to the crocket side and beyond that to the east shore free way. the morning commute at the bay bridge toll plaza shows a small

delay and it looks good once you get into san francisco. we have been looking at road sensors and traffic is smooth on 1010 and 280 -- 101 and 280. we have lost a lot of that breeze and temperatures have slid back to 20s and 30s and there are some very cool readings up and down the coast, not only here but in southern california. there will be a few high clouds, you can see the direction of the upper atmospher and everything is coming offshore and if this was a summertime pattern it would be hot. a south wind up in alaska means temperatures are warmer than the west coast. it is 23 in las vegas and 30 in phoenix, 37 in san diego. i mean there are some cold

readings here. for us locally lakeport 30, 32 calistoga. 30s for walnut creek, brent woot 29 -- brentwood 29, 27 in lafayette and that makes sense to me. 31 in saratoga gilroy is in the 20s and newark is in the upper 20s 39 degrees and foster city 31 and 32 at half-moon bay. mostly sunny with an easterly breeze and if you are inland it is tough, but berkeley is 56 and they helped along santa cruz 57, san mateo 55. a little warmer each day. temperatures are hitting some 60s thursday except for fog and it will be very quiet and very

dry. all right, steve, it is the app that has triggered gun contntl controversy and why the rifle association is on the defensive. lance armstrong faces some expensive legal consequences. traffic looks good crossing the valley and we will tell you more about the morning commute and the bay area weather, stay tuned. ñç5xñóñmñz?cç?çñkñkñe -

. it is cold 20s and 30s and it will be mostly sunny, some clouds slightly warmer coast and bay. here is a quick look at some of the top stories we are

following. they want to identify a body found inside a parked car on petaluma hill road. right now police have not said how that person died. also right now, fire crews from several agencies are battling a big fire and this is not far from the carquinez bridge. it started shortly before 4:00 masters along the waterfront in the city of crocket. investigators say this fire is suspicious since nobody lives in this area. and in washington president barack obama is now going over the recommendations of vice- president joseph biden for new gun policy legislation. reportedly the president is considering 19 steps that could be taken through executive action without having to go through congress. the national rifle association has set off a controversy with its new app. it is called n ra practice

range and it provides players with a virtual shooting gallery where they can hone their gun skills. it has surprised everybody since n ra has been strong critics of live violent video games. they have the toughest gun control laws and they will crackdown on high am missing magazine -- ammunition magazines and it is in response to the newtown connecticut shooting one month ago. one man is dead in east palo alto's first homicide of the year. police rushed to illinois street and perdue avenue about 1:45 yesterday afternoon after the shot spotter system detected gunfire. they found jonathan who had been shot multiple times. he died at the scene.

a second gunshot victim arrived at the hospital and he is in critical condition. wee right now there is no information on possible suspects. a man escaped from a correctional facility. david allan brown climbed over a fence at the minimum security hill road facility sunday night. take a look at this picture. he hazardous sting -- has distint -- distinct tattoos. he was supposed to serve time inrison but it was part of an effort to reduce inmate population. lance armstrong's confession that he used performance enhancing drugs could cost him a lot of money. he is already being sued by his former teammate in a whistleblower and it says he

defrauded the u.s. government and now the justice department is likely to join that lawsuit and armstrong could be forced to pay back endorsement money an appearance fees. oakland city council will hire william bradden as a police chief consultant. the city will pay him $250,000 a year. some are protesting it saying he was responsible for harsh policies while he was with the new york police department. they will be at the frank frank ogawa plaza. the police chief will take over on an interim basis. larry has been in charge of the bureau field operations and the city manager appointed him to take over as chief just days before the current chief retires. chris moore will step down at the end of this week.

she said she needs more time to search for his successor. it would have been dr. martin luther king, jr.'s 84th birthday. the nation will formally celebrate his birthday and service events are planned across the bay area in his honor. he was as nateed -- assassinated at the age of 39. you are watching highway 24 and everything else? that's right, dave, we have been watching just to make sure we have not had any problems on this stretch and i pull up my chp list, we don't have a lot going on as traffic continues to move along very nicely as you drive between walnut creek and oakland. let's go back to the toll plaza and we keep watching that. no major problems and usually after 6:00 we start to get back ups and the metering lights come on about 6:15. traffic is moving well and

looking at the livermore valley we are off to a nice start and it is slow coming off the tracy try ingle. let's go to steve. freeze warnings are back out and yesterday there was too much of a breeze so they dropped them. down in on ray and tie -- monterey and today they are back, there is 30s all up and down the coast and it is very cold and there is already frost out there and you can see the ridge of high pressure and this is a mountain of pressure built up. usually this time of year you look for energy to come underneath and it is called uncutting. -- undercutting. this is not going to give up ground any time soon. a south wind up in alaska and it's warmer in parts of alaska and juneau and parts of the west coast and southern nevada and parts of the west coast,

there is a huge difference in temperatures. santa rosa, a lot of 20s even novato, fairfield, and the airport the only thing holding up is a little bit of a breeze. this flow is and coming right out of the north, northeast and that gives you a sign by the coast it will not be too bad. i don't care how much sun we get, it doesn't feel that warm so very cold in the morning with that east breeze which helps oakland, emoryville, those areas get a benefit from that breeze but most locations are in the lower 50s. discuss is 57, although it is 30 degrees right now. a little warmer into thursday and with your weekend in view, we will have to make a return to the valley and it will warm up coast and bay. keeping an eye on the del stock, del could go private

circulating and del is talking with private equity firms about a potential buy out. del has lost 40% since last year's peak and the cost of going private makes sense. it will allow del to restructure without criticism from share holders. it grew by 10% and china added 51 million new users even as they tightened control on content. they used it for business and education and tried to block access to material which is considered subject verse sufficient -- subversive or object seen. -- obscene. targeting another funeral. why a controversial group will protest a key internet figure who committed suicide.
