incident that is the lowest level with no response from the richmond fire department. earlier this afternoon. you can see huge flames coming out of those refinery stacks along with a dark plume of smoke at the chevron refinery. fortunately there's no word of any injuries. they say that the safety flare was activated due to a process upset that was quickly corrected. the bay area air quality management district says their inspectors are on the scene tonight in richmond. checking for any potential air quality violations. however chevron told us the smoke was blowing towards solano county. and there there was no protective order to keep residents in place. now to san jose, where a man is behind bars after being accused of sexually assaulting an eight year old child. police say the assault happened at the child's home. ktvu is andre senior joins us now live outside san jose police headquarters with more on what happened, andre? well julie, authorities say one

of the more troubling things about this case is that the suspect did not know the victim. he did not know her family. he just snuck into this eight year olds home and sexually attacked. er home is meant to be a safe space. but what happened at home along dancing street in san jose last friday turned into every parent's worst nightmare. a crime. police say it was committed by dupri. kenneth hornsby. individual has prior convictions for weapons charges involving firearms, but nothing to do with similar cases such as this one. officer steve aponte tells us in this case wanted me snuck into a child's home just after 7 30 friday morning and sexually assaulted the eight year old before vanishing the victim, alerting her grandfather. that grandfather calling police about two hours later, uh, patrol officer had his head on a swivel spotted the individual wearing the exact same clothing in the description. give and by the victim, the officer detained the individual that individual is positively identified by the victim or to be sitting in jail since friday before appearing before judge

tuesday afternoon for preliminary court here, we went in there and the people's position was that the defendant should be held in on no bail allowed, and the judge granted our motion officer ponti with san jose police tells us what authorities say or too surprising things about this case first that the suspect had no connection to the family and second that sexual assault or child abuse was outside the suspect's wheelhouse. previously having been charged only with weapons crimes. this escalation of entering somebody's house who you don't know, complete stranger, dangerous situation and then committing this atrocious act is not something that is very common for individuals who have committed crimes like this. alright so hornsby will sit in jail until his next court hearing and that is set to happen on october 12th. now if you have any information about horns, many other these cases you might think you might be connected to contact the senate. san jose county police department there special investigative unit special sexual assault investigative

unit coming up at six o'clock. we will have more from district attorney jeff rosen, and we also have more about what we know about the suspect. in this case, children all right, we will look forward to that. andre senior reporting live outside. san jose police headquarters, andre thanks. also in san jose, man is now in custody after a long standoff with police. it started about 1 30 this morning after police responded to a 911 call about a man waving a gun on a balcony at a condominium complex. this is on silk creek drive near alum rock avenue. police say the man fired at least one shot before barricaded himself inside a condo unit. during this event, we know the suspect fired the gun at least one time. we don't know if he was shooting at officers or somebody else, police negotiation negotiators rather were called to the scene and the situation was finally resolved about 12 hours later, nearby condos were evacuated as a precaution, and everyone has now been allowed to return to their homes. now to the latest

on the coronavirus pandemic, the san san francisco unified school district will now require teachers to be vaccinated or face weekly testing. the decision comes less than a week before the first day of school. there are about 10,000 employees in the district district officials say they'll have until the end of the month to submit vaccination status. the mandate will take effect as of september, 7th officials say it does not apply to students. it was the first day of school for students at the san ramon valley school district, and we were there this morning when kids headed into class at iron horse middle school in san ramon. many of the kids were happy and excited to be back on campus for in person learning. all students are required to wear masks at school, something that some parents in that district oppose. ktvu is jesse gary is in danville tonight with more on how the first day turned out and jesse, there was talk of

are required indoors for all persons, regardless of vaccination status. there was a different kind of energy at a district school board meeting august 3rd, a small but vocal number of parents object to the districts mask mandate. i think that this school district should be a sanctuary school district as it relates to mask mandates. let let us parents and our children choose for themselves. district superintendent dr john malloy says approximately 800 students are using virtual academies or independent study programs. we must listen to the experts and they say masks are required, so we will do it. many parents agree, adding the most important aspect of attending school is actually being inside a school. i'm just happy kids are back, so i don't understand the people that are fighting the masks as long as they're in school, where the mask. the superintendent, says those

students who are for virtual academy or independent study programs will be allowed back to in person learning should they should they wish, however, they cannot guarantee they'll get their in their home school as normal. they may have to attend a different school. the superintendent says he will try to be accommodating. we're live in danville this evening, jesse gary ktvu fox two news, we'll head back to you. all right, jesse. thank you knew at five, speaker nancy pelosi joined community leaders to day for a press briefing in san francisco on the emergency rental assistance program. the program makes federal funding available to assist those who have been hit hard by the pandemic. with rent back brent and utility payments today low raza's rental assistance program received $4 million from the mayor's office of housing and community development. the money was made available as part of the american rescue plan and goes to families who have been deeply affected by the covid 19 pandemic. president has given the imprimatur that people should not be evicted and the money is

andrew cuomo announced his resignation today amid sexual harassment scandal. box news brian dennis is outside the state capitol in albany, new york, with more. i think that given the circumstances the best way i can help now, is if i step aside and let government get back to governing embattled new york governor andrew cuomo resigning a week after the state attorney general's office released a report finding the governor sexually harassed at least 11 women, the 63 year old

democrat on tuesday, addressing some of these allegations while still defending his actions, saying he never intentionally disrespected any of his accusers. take full responsibility for my actions. i have been too familiar with people in my mind. i've never crossed the line with anyone. but i didn't realize the extent. to which the line has been redrawn. the three term democratic governor maintains the most serious claims against him have quote no credible factual basis, his resignation, sparking widespread reaction, including from accuser, lindsey boiling, tweeting quote from the beginning. i simply asked the governor stop his abusive behavior. it became abundantly clear he was unable to do that, instead attacking and blaming victims until the end and president biden says. i respect the governor's decision. and uh,

i respected, says the main the five month long independent investigation into the governor alleges a disturbing pattern of behavior, including inappropriate kisses, touching and sexual remarks despite his resignation, some victims and lawmakers still calling for cuomo's impeachment to move forward to prevent him from running for office again and hold him accountable for the allegations against him. cuomo will be stepping down in 14 days. lieutenant governor kathy hoco will fill the role she will become the first female governor of new york in albany, new york, brian yannis fox news, one of the candidates in the upcoming recall election of governor, newsom was in the bay area today, talking about his plans for what he says would be the largest tax cut in california history. if he takes office, republican john cox is on a statewide bus tour, which made us stop this morning in san francisco. he's talking about his plan for a 25% income

tax cut, he said it would put $30 billion back into the hands of california families and small businesses. i'm talking about real savings to the to the middle class here. lower taxes, which are crushing businesses as well as individuals in the state. i also talked by the way in the lab. cox isn't the only recall candidate who wants a tax cut. kevin faulkner, the former mayor of san diego, has proposed eliminating state income taxes for people making less than a million dollars a year. a new program is now operating here in the bay area aimed at protecting people from wildfire smoke the bay area air quality management district today launched its new home air filtration program. the program will provide 2000 air filtration units to low income people who suffer from asthma. while wildfire smoke is unhealthy for everyone, it's particularly harmful for people

with asthma, which disproportionately impacts low income communities and communities of color. for example, in california, african americans are five times more likely to go to the emergency department and four times more likely to be hospitalized for asthma. air filtration units are available to low income people diagnosed with poorly controlled asthma and are enrolled in the state's asthma mitigation project. firefighters are making some progress tonight on the dixie fire. it is now 25% contained up from 21% yesterday, but that fire has now grown nearly 40 square miles in the past day, and it's burned 760 square miles so far. fox news jeff paul tells us warmer weather threatens to further fuel the flames. crews battling the fast moving dixie fire now getting much needed help from the sky. thick smoke cleared for several hours on monday, allowing for aircraft to rejoin the fight and improving conditions for

ground crews, officials say firefighters were able to cut thousands of acres of fire lines in an effort to protect rural communities, and it was in the dark and they did so much work. it was amazing, but warm weather threatens to derail some of that progress. temperatures are expected to hit triple digits in parts of the western us this week. there's also the potential for strong winds and thunderstorms conditions that helped fuel the dixie fire when it broke out last month. expecting temperatures to be around 100 degrees with excessive heat. watch out through in the mid week wednesday into thursday, the fire is now the largest single wildfire in california's history, scorching almost 500,000 acres and forcing thousands to evacuate this year's fire season. is now on track to surpass last year's the worst in the state's recent history, red cross officials say with each passing fire season, they're saying the same communities evacuated. we've

seen some folks who have come to a shelter for just a few days to return home to come back again because of those evacuation warnings. the cause of the dixie fire is under investigation, but pacific gas and electric says it may have been sparked when a tree fell on a power line. in los angeles. jeff paul fox news, alrighty, then we had a pretty nice day, but it got pretty hot inland around the bay and at the coast, it warmed a few degrees inland. it warm more than that, maybe like eight degrees, maybe 10 degrees in some places. my favorite shot of all time is this one. we're about to show you. it's from the sutro tower. and i just love that, especially with the hd camera like i had my way. if i could do it, i'd have like a 90 inch plasma in my house and put that just feed that into it would not be beautiful and just watch it day and nothing like that. it. it's beautiful. i mean, obviously this mountain pass in the distance. the meteorological things you can pick out here is that the areas that if you can see those arrows, but the air is sinking, and that's why that fog's getting pinched down. so that's running along the ground like

that. you can actually see it moving to is it tries to get inland, but it's getting squished by the high pressure inland, so that means continued warming. so as we go into next couple of days, warmer weather still in the forecast. what i want to do now is changed graphics and having little oops. okay uh, let's keep looking at this picture of how much i like this picture. that's what we're going to hang on. i just, uh let's see. okay i think i'm good now. yeah okay. we're good. um i'm used to doing this at home. and now i'm here and i got the real deal. like at home. i'm doing on the ipad or something, okay? so there's the fog. we've seen enough of that. there's the air quality. the air quality is getting a lot better around here. of course, we had the flare up at the richmond refinery, but again, the winds were going the right way and push that thing up high in away. smoke showing up right now in parts of the u county and parts of shasta county and all through the lake tahoe basin, but for the most part air quality around here pretty good. let's look at the model because, of course, that's something we think about air quality has become part of our

concerns. you see where the bad areas this is the model, it says. here's tonight. see what the watch those purple and yellow areas kind of kicks back by tomorrow morning. that's what happens at night gets cool, and then that smoke kind of works its way down into the valley. looks like it gets pretty close. so if you're in sacramento davis, eastern liver, more eastern vacaville, those areas you might be seeing some smoke. we're probably going to see an increase in smoke as we head into tomorrow morning and into wednesday afternoon, lake tahoe looks like they'll get an increase in up around reading as well. and with that in mind, we move forward to the forecast is going to be a warm one. temperatures are going to heat up each day as we head into the thursday friday period, so it's a hot stretch inland that cree increases the fire. danger we're not looking for red flag warnings, but potentially, uh, spare the air day. i wouldn't be surprised to see something like that pop up on thursday. so there you go. that's the long range of sort of the broad strokes. i'll give you the granular details when i see you next, bill. i hate to even ask this question. but looking down the road here what happens if we don't get a whole lot of

rain and snow during the upcoming rainy season. yeah i mean bad it really is. i mean, we have to really hope this hope that that does happen, frank. one of the first things i thinking about was the dixie fire. i read some articles of the day on these big wildfires. most giant wildfires like this the second largest in state history. they don't get put out by fire crews they get put out by winter, and that's kind of what we're looking at with the dixie fire. in other words, that thing is probably going to burn until we got our first rain and mark my words. remember the last few big fires we've had they don't get because you've got to squash them right in terms of rain. it's hard to say, you know, if we don't get rain, we are in the third year of drought. which isn't unprecedented, but we are in as far as in my tenure and i was around to the 77 drought. this is his as dry as like orville spin is like shasta's been. the groundwater spin his dress fuel moistures have ever been in my tenure, so it's a little bit spooky for sure. and i think the best thing we can do, frank, i appreciate you asking, that is, i think we need to conserve wire. i think we need to when

you're trying to get the hot water for your t put it over here. don't waste it and run in the sink. take it out and water the plants with it. shorten your showers. all the things we started. doing in the seventies as you guys all remember many of you remember and we quit doing we've got to keep doing that, so i hate to be preachy, but i've been here before. i mean, 77. this is worse than 77 77 was a biblical drought in terms of california. so yeah, we'll see how it goes from fingers crossed for something in october when it usually gets going. yeah. alright bill. appreciate it. thank you. the senate just voted to spend more than a trillion dollars of your tax money. i'm caroline shyly in washington. i'll have details on the infrastructure bill coming up and coming up on ktvu. channel two news at six fight between two groups of people this afternoon in san francisco's union square escalates to a shooting that leah left at least one boy injured. also ahead. we're learning about a college professor with ties to santa clara university and sonoma state, now accused of setting fire of negotiations on capitol ,

the u. s senate today finally passed the bipartisan trillion dollar bill to fund infrastructure projects. but fox news caroline shadley tells us that democrats say they're not finished and have introduced another spending package that they plan to pass on their own. the asr 69. the nays are 30. the bill as amended is passed in a rare bipartisan moment, the senate approved a $1.2 trillion infrastructure plan on tuesday. after years and years of infrastructure week. we're on the cusp of an infrastructure decade that i truly believe will transform america. the bill includes about $550 billion a new spending over five years for roads, bridges, water pipes, rail and broad band. we have finally finally reached the finish line, of

course. democrats believe we need to do much more. the senate then immediately turned to a $3.5 trillion budget bill chock full of democratic priorities, like expanding medicare, universal preschool and free community college. the motion is agreed to senate democrats aim to pass that bill this week without a single republican on board. this gop senator explained. the split stands, one of my democratic colleagues says, you know, infrastructure is the desert and that $3.5 trillion tax and spend extravaganza. that is the spinach. so if the infrastructure bill passes the house how long will it be before americans see results well for projects like paving roads and ongoing construction, probably months, but for longer term projects involving broadband and public transit. that will probably be more like years in washington, caroline shively fox news. san francisco is facing significant pushback on its vaccine requirement for city workers ahead at five the
