4:37 am
only one killed a person. >> generally speaking an ar-15 or assault rifle is usually more damaging, has a longer range and more impactful than a side arm or pistol. >> reporter: police say much of the damage is based on an attacker's skill inflater with the firearm.-- skill and familiarity with the firearm. >> it could be the type of weapon, the ammo that is used, how close somebody is to the person -- >> reporter: high velocity rifle bullets typically cause more damage. and attorneys with the giffords law center to reduce violence say california strict gun laws may have been a factor in limiting the damage. >> bump stocks, large capacity magazines, all of those are illegal right now in california. >> reporter: the giffords law center attorney says california has a new gun violence restraining order available to law enforcement and family and

the sheriff's office says deputy patrick mooresmen was arrested wednesday afternoon and now free on $100,000 bail. officials learned mooresmen allegedly had consensual sex with two inmates at the west county detention facility in richmond. the officer is providing help to the women and moving ahead with plans to fire him. the santa clara county sheriff laurie smith is responding to allegations of sexual harassment that date back more than a quarter century. sergeant gary brady told the
4:44 am
mercury news that back in 1992 laurie smith made sexual advances toward a man at a work conference and accused smith of sex discrimination by favoring women over men. smith told ktvu these claims are false. >> as a woman i am horribly offended that he would use that. again, this is a 30-year-old claim that was thoroughly investigated. there are no new claims. it was false then and false now. >> smith is running for her sixth term as sheriff. there is a field of five other candidates running for the office. since the mercury new's story came out one of her opponents called for sheriff smith to drop out of the race. it is a trend in the city of richmond that police officers are very proud of. over the past couple of years the department is working to reduce violent crime and it looks like the work is paying off. take a look at the graph from richmond police showing
4:45 am
homicides since 1991. that year saw the highest number which was 62. the number spikes through the years, but so far for 2018 there are no reported homicides in richmond. the last one was almost five months ago. that is a span that city officials say hasn't happened in more than 40 years. >> in our recorded history there has not been a span this long of no homicide deaths in the city. >> when i first started, a lot of people didn't trust the police, in all honesty. honesty. >> the police chief is credited a change in policing and greater community involvement for the reduced number. events like the barber shop forum where citizens have a chance to have direct involvement with law enforcement and paul chambers is really active with that for ktvu. also patrol officers are spending more time out in the community, engaging residents and making connections. in our 9:00 hour we will talk
4:46 am
live with richmond police chief brown for more about the changes his police department has made. the time is 4:46. a san francisco judge has now ordered former nfl player alden smith to wear an ankle monitor. all this stems from an incident back in march where smith faces charges of domestic violence, false imprisonment, vandalism and assault. smith was ordered to stay away from the victim in that case but accused of violating that restraining order more than a week after the first incident. because of that smith was arraigned yesterday. in addition to wearing the ankle monitor he will be required to wear a device that can detect alcohol through sweat. after that incident on march 3rd the oakland raiders released smith from their contract. the time is 4:46. the roads are wet this morning. rain is in the forecast and sal is right there to tell us what is happening out there. >> well, dave, we are checking into a couple of
4:47 am
incidents here. i want to start with the commute on 580 westbound through the altamonte pass. you can see traffic is slow on 205 and 580, about typical. but there is not really a lot going on when it comes to crashes. now, we have had slow traffic, obviously, because of the weather. and that is going to be the case throughout the entire bay area as we have seen. we have traffic on interstate 880 that is moving well. you can clearly tell it has been raining all morning long. and at the bay bridge toll plaza there is already a little back up. we heard of an accident eastbound highway 4 at port chicago highway. that would be to the right of this. this is eastbound 4, just before port chicago highway. word of a truck that jackknifed in the wet weather and chp is on the way. as kevin moves the camera out there, i don't see anything but we will keep an eye on it for you. and kevin, i know you are
4:48 am
listening, it would be closer to highway 680. it is hard to see because of the weather. according to chp it is out there somewhere. we will let -- we will try to look for it. again, be careful because of all the wet weather that things tend to happen just like this. cars and other vehicles spinning out. 4:48. let's bring steve in. let's get right to it. i upped the rainfall projetions in month run county north, mainly in the northern counties, north of the san francisco area. san francisco already had half an inch of rain. oakland 3, santa rosa to napa 4 to 8, a possibility of isolated 10-inch amounts. i saw an inch and a quarter in ox dental. this seems to be the focus but it is lighting up right now. t now.
