and the phrase freeway shooting to find an interactive map that shows the locations of freeway violence in 2021 22. guys there time is 705 from many people in oakland crime. is the main thing on their minds. oakland has had six homicides in the past week. the oakland police chief and other city officials joined mothers who have lost children to gun violence for this rally yesterday outside of city hall, they say it will take more than just the police to end the violence. parents tell ktvu. they only found out about a shooting at its sixth through 12th grade school in oakland. through calls and texts from their own children as they were sheltering in their classrooms. parents tell us they didn't get an alert from the school or the oakland unified school district until 10 o'clock monday night, eight hours after the shooting. the statement read, in part as you might have heard already in the news or through word of mouth. there was an incident on monday in madison park academy secondary school, someone had a firearm and a round was discharged. a student was hit

and is currently in the hospital receiving treatment for their injury. we asked the district about its procedures and policies that are in place. we have yet to hear back gasia times 706. we have an update to a proposal that would lead non citizens vote for members of the oakland unified school board. the chronicles reporting voters in november can decide if nonsense and parents or guardians can vote in local school board elections the oakland city council had in back in june approved a measure allowing the city's 13,009 citizen parents to vote in school board balance, but the measure was challenged by those who say the initiative would violate the california constitution. a judge ruled that voters can still decide on this measure, but it could be challenged if it's approved in november, 10 candidates running to be the next mayor of oakland took part in the candidate forum last night. ktvu andre senior here in studio with a look at what they had to say andre well,

garcia, the forum co moderated by ktvu, lamonica peters and brian watters, kqed. it was held at laney college, the candidates were asked about dealing with issues like public safety and crime. several candidates say they want more police officers on the streets. i will increase our police academies to ensure that as we're facing these high rates of attrition that we've got the beat officers, the foot patrol the business corridor patrol that they are seeking. first of all is investing in the technology and the staffing in our criminal investigations division. we have to demonstrate more than just a 30% solve rate for violent crimes. we have to double the solve rate 900 police officers right now emotionally for police academy. we need 911 dispatchers back to work. but how is he going to do that? when no one wants to come here? now on the subject of gun violence, two of the candidates took very different approaches to that problem. i'm a 100% service connected combat veteran. and when i tell you, i feel safer in

iraq and here is the truth. okay so my concern is people not able to defend themselves. we need a police chief that would issue concealed carry permits like candy. we have too many guns. if you are all paying attention, there was a child that was shot in east oakland at school yesterday. right our children are learning violence. our children are participating in violence. our children have access to these weapons. we have to remove some of our guns. another focus was housing for senior citizens. i support and will continue to support and expand the parcel city parcels. and specifically designate them for affordable housing for our seniors. i believe that we have to use the private sector with the public sector to leverage our resources in order to build affordable housing. that's what we have done before. we're going to continue doing the first pieces to stop homelessness

before it starts, so prevention services for those seniors is gonna be super important. number two is to figure out which of those seniors are extremely low income because typically when a person is very loyal com that is the person who is the most at risk for losing their housing. two other candidates running for oakland mayor were invited but did not attend. we're talking about author john riemann and army veteran tyronne jordans. november's election will use a rent voting choice system. and that means there won't be a runoff. voters will rank their tap three candidates and if their top candidate is eliminated, their vote will go to the number two choice and so on. the candidate needs over 50% of the vote to be elected. david garcia back over to you, andre. thank you times. 709 we're going right to south caston 88. you're just going all over the place with major traffic problems, you know, and has been a tough morning on many freeways. it just seems to be kind of moving around highway four. if you're

wondering why it's taken so long to get out of any up, let's start there. there was a motorcycle crash at railroad avenue and there were injuries here, and traffic is very slow as a matter of fact, down the road. we see just kind of moderate conditions. so if you're in bay point, you might actually be able to take advantage of the traffic that's not getting through and get jump ahead of that crowd there. as you can see, heading over to conquer. it's a little crowded bridges also crowded. remember there's a baseball game today. oracle park starts at 12 45 and ends right in time for the afternoon commute. so don't plan on getting out of the city too easy way today. if you're bringing the car use transit if you can 80 southbound 92 that looks all right. 8 80 is a little slow. we had an earlier fire near the freeway. i do want to mention the south bay. there's a little bit of slowing their 2 80 through downtown still looks pretty good heading up to the west valley the time 7 10, let's go back to the desk. okay. south powerful hailstorm in spain slams that region, killing at least one person and also injuring people as well.

domestic politics and foreign policy. mr gorbachev saw the berlin wall torn down millions of people who only known communism got their first taste of freedom that led to push back from his own country where he was seen as the man who broke up. the soviet union. he resigned as president in 1991 and spent the next few years as a public speaker. history will never forget. time is 7 16 will never forget her to happening today. millions of people all over the world are expected to remember the life of britain's princess diana 25 years after she was tragically killed in a car crash. it happened august 31st 1997 diana and her companion, dodi fayed left their hotel in paris. the car was followed by the paparazzi, their driver lost control and crashed , killing all three people in the car. the doctor who rushed to that crash remembered that tragic night 25 years later. i

sardines that we've seen here as well. the reason a massive algae bloom the algae can lead to low oxygen levels in the water, killing the fish. and today, oakland public works crews are scheduled to head to the lake to remove some of this dead fish and clean things up, especially before the hot weather expected this weekend. everybody's concerned because that's been that's been going on for almost a month. see so and then they did, like, then just keep playing that like that. there. that can cause a lot of a lot of other distress on people's when it comes when it comes to the air quality. it's a is a problem . people who come and walk along the lake have noticed for weeks is that you heard that gentleman mentioned this algae was first spotted in lake merritt earlier this month, and scientists say seeing those algae blooms in the water isn't unusual, but is, though, is how long they have lasted more than a month at this point, and how widespread the algae blooms are not just in lake merritt but in the oakland estuary. along the coast in the san francisco bay as for what's

causing the prolonged algae problems, scientists say it's multifaceted issue. there's a low stagnant water levels in the lake and around the bay. warmer weather caused by the drought and climate change, but there's also issues like waste water and fertilizer runoff that can actually feed that algae in the water, making the problem even worse, but again, we're waiting to find out exactly when there's oakland public works crews. our crews contracted by oh pwr supposed to be out here and start cleaning up some of the dead fish in the lake again, all the white dots you see on the surface here. those are dead striped bass that have floated up to the surface. there's also been reports of bat rays that people have seen that floated up on the shore as well here in lake merritt, but any minute now, in the next couple of hours, we should start seeing some of those crews come here and start the work. live in oakland alley. rasmus ktvu fox two news. thank you time 7 36 new this morning, one tonight. francisco firefighter was hurt

desk. thank you, sal all eastbound lanes of 80 or back open this morning after a deadly crash in richmond. three vehicles were involved in the crash happened just before three o'clock this morning. your hilltop drive. we've been following the effects for you throughout mornings onto we know at least one person is dead. crews requested a helicopter to fly one patient to medical care. chp had to close all lanes. officers assess the damage and cleaned up. the debris will bring you more information as soon as we get it in our newsroom is your time right now , a fire at a home in san francisco's bay view neighborhood is now under control. the one firefighter was injured, putting out the flames and ktvu semantic in town is on the scene and brings us the latest information on exactly what happened here, amanda yeah , we are on fitzgerald avenue. you could see this house behind me. this two story home is just a total loss here. now the firefighter that i spoke to said there is some good news here because firefighters were able to stop the fire from spreading to the two neighboring homes

here, but that proved to be very, very difficult. for the firefighters this morning. the cause is still under investigation. but there was so much stuff inside the home that made it really difficult for the firefighters to get that fire out. this morning, 70 firefighters were called to this scene just around 3 30 this morning. the fire was under control. two hours later around 5 30 this morning. um this is a really challenging fire. we had um somewhat of a hoarder situation, so the house was just packed with a lot of material belongings debris, so there's a lot of lot of fuel in there to burn. it also made access difficult for us to get firefighters in there and get get the hose lines in the water where it needed to be. so it was very stubborn, very challenging. we had to rotate a lot of cruise in and out because they kept running out of air. now two dogs also had to be rescued from this home. i am told and the

firefighter that i spoke to said that they were having a really hard time getting in contact with the owner of this home, but in a tweet just a few minutes ago, the fire department posted that three people have been displaced from this home, and they are being helped. by the red cross. it seems like there were some people that were living here, the assistant, she said. it could have been a squatter situation. there has been a fire at this home before in the last few years, so they're not really sure if the owners actually live here or what the situation is with people living inside of the home. now that firefighter that you mentioned was injured, but he said that that person is going to be okay. right now. we have seen quite a few of the trucks leave. it looks like they're on cleanup duty. now they're really just inside trying to make sure that nothing reignites. but as for putting water on the building and getting the fire out that has all stopped from now just kind of watching to make sure that this fire stays put out live in san francisco. amanda quintana

ktvu, fox tunis. thank you, amanda. the california highway patrol is searching for whoever fired shots at an off duty san jose police officer as he was driving his own truck. this happened yesterday afternoon. just before two o'clock on north. dont wanna one between bailey avenue and morgan hill and the highway 85 flyover in san jose. the officer was driving in the carpool lane. a source gave us a photo of the damage. the officer was not hurt. he pulled over when he heard a loud pop told the chp. the other driver was a man in a white hatchback that didn't have license plates. the chp gathered evidence at the scene. if you recover the casing, it is a potential clue in this case, but it is a rarity to take that casing and be able to tie it to an individual unless you recover the gun itself. so far san jose police have yet to release any information on the police officer. we have been told he was on his way to work. the chp is checking freeway cameras to see if there's any video of the shooting. if you have information for them, please call the chp. we have a full

look at bay area freeway shootings on our website ktvu dot com when you put the words freeway shooting into the search window, there will see an interactive map showing the locations of freeway shootings over the past two years. it was six is your time now. for many people in oakland, crime is the main issue on their minds. the city has experienced six homicides over the past week alone. police chief armstrong and other city officials joined mothers who have lost children to gun violence for rally outside city hall yesterday, they say it will take more than just the police department to end the violence following a shooting at a middle and high school in east oakland this week. some parents tell ktvu they only found out about what happened from calls and texts from their own children as they were sheltering in their classrooms. parents tell us they didn't get an alert from the school or the school district until 10 o'clock that night on monday, more than eight hours after the shooting. the statement read, in part as you might have heard already in the news or through word of mouth. there was an incident on monday at madison park academy secondary school. someone had a firearm and around was

discharged. a student was hit and is currently in the hospital receiving treatment for their injury. we asked the oakland unified school district about its procedures and policies surrounding emergency notifications. we have yet to hear back now an update to a proposal that would let non citizens vote for members of the oakland unified school board. the chronicle reports. voters in november can decide if noncitizen parents or guardians can vote in local school board elections. the oakland city council back in june approved a measure allowing the city's 13,000 noncitizen parents to vote in school board elections. the measure was challenged by those who say the initiative would violate the california constitution. a judge ruled that voters can still decide on the measure but that it could be challenged if it's approved in november. eight of the 10 candidates running to become the next mayor of oakland took part in a candidates forum last night. it was held that lady college and those candidates were asked about dealing with issues such as public safety and crime. candidates want more police officers on the streets.

i will increase our police academies to ensure that as we're facing these high rates of attrition that we've got the beat officers, the foot patrol the business corridor patrol that they are seeking. first of all is investing in the technology and the staffing in our criminal investigations division. we have to demonstrate more than just a 30% solve rate for violent crimes. we have to double the solve rate 900 police officers right now. ocean italy. we need four police academy. we need 911 dispatchers back to work. but how is he going to do that? when no one wants to come here? now on the subject of gun violence to mayoral contenders took very different approaches to the problem. i'm a 100% service connected combat veteran . and when i tell you, i feel safer in iraq and here is the truth. okay so my concern is people not able to defend themselves. we need a police chief that would issue concealed carry permits like candy. we have too many guns. if you are

all paying attention, there was a child that was shot in east oakland at school yesterday. right. our children are learning violence. our children are participating in violence. our children have access to these weapons. we have to remove some of our guns. so another focus of this forum was housing for senior citizens. i support and will continue to support and expand the parcel city parcels. and specifically designate them for affordable housing for our seniors. i believe that we have to use the private sector with the public sector to leverage our resources in order to build affordable housing. that's what we have done before. we're going to continue doing the first pieces to stop homelessness before it starts, so prevention services for those seniors is gonna be super important. number two is to figure out which of those seniors are extremely low income because typically when a person is very loyal income that is the person who is the most at

risk for losing their housing. two other candidates running for mayor arthur, author john riemann and army veteran tyronne jordan's turned down invitations to attend as the bear is bracing for a heat wave and the excessive heat for the labor day weekend will mean firefighters are gearing up for high fire danger. it's not a time for any of us to be complacent about fire danger. the worst of the season is yet to come. in parts of contra costa county. firefighters are preparing for temperatures in the triple digits. they see everyone can do their part by remaining vigilant over the holiday weekend and being very careful when they're grilling or just being outdoors. we wouldn't say not to have that labor day barbecue but use a common sense and where you cite your barbecue. uh how you are prepared to extinguish any kind of members that might come off of that. firefighters in the county say they're far better equipped and trained for

wildfire season now than they were just three years ago. they say many of their calls during hot weather aren't for fires, but for heat related illnesses such as heat stroke down on 8 11 south castaneda series been tracking some trouble on the road this morning across the bay area south. i sure have andre and there's been a lot of slow traffic everywhere this morning. we're going to start off with highway four. you can see here. bay point. it's still very slow driving over the hill. and by the way, 6 80 is slow from concord, walnut creek, 8 80 is slow from hayward to fremont. san mateo bridge is slow. we've also had slow traffic all over that south bay commute to eighties getting better. so now we're getting to the point where in this hour? we're hoping to see improvement. i just want to remind you that today there is a baseball game at oracle park giants and the padres 12 35 1st pitch, and that means that the game will end in the afternoon commute and make it tough to get out of san francisco 8 11. let's go back to the desk sell. thank

arizona next month. not too sure about it. i want to learn more. a member of a new mexico tribe who attended the presentation was intrigued but has a lot of questions if there were a crack in those pipelines. how does that affect the current environment? the soil right? what are those types of implications? how secure are these pipelines? and what are the ah again? what are the costs ? what is the cost to the people ? what is the cost of the community? are they going to be funded through the state's international water holdings president says he's willing to answer them is actually an amazing opportunity for utah to get involved in running that process if they want to this point, the legislature's water development commission has requested a study of the department of natural resources to see if this pipeline idea is even feasible. farmington bay, ben winslow fox news. times 8 18. let's see what we can do to help you through this traffic. it's a wednesday that's been a very painful day for many cell

responders is impacting san francisco leaders say a recent attack on two paramedics could exacerbate the problem. two paramedics at their ambulance stolen while they were waiting for calls. san francisco's firefighters union says such attacks on firefighters and paramedics have become all too common and have led some to retire. it also says such incidents make retaining emergency responders more difficult. now we're starting to see that. um start to see that play out as these things. these assaults these unprovoked assaults start to happen more and more often, but that doesn't mean that we're not staffing. we're staffing with overtime or staffing with mandatory overtime in certain circumstances. the fire department says the paramedics who were attacked or doing okay physically and have mental health resources available as well. 8 33 is your time right now happening today. cruz with oakland public works are scheduled to start clearing away dead fish from lake mary. the fish have died off in large numbers because of a massive

algae bloom easily. rasmus joins us live from lake merritt to show us the problem happening there, ali. andre we haven't seen any sign of those public works crews just yet, but we do see a plenty of evidence of what they're going to be out here. cleaning up if you take a look around, you can see there is some dead fish in the water here at lake merritt. according to a lot of people we've spoken to out here. the problem was far worse. just in the last 48 to 24 hours, with far more sardines and striped bass like this floating up on the surface of the water. the reason a massive algae bloom the algae can lead to low oxygen levels in the water, and that essentially suffocates the fish today open public works crews are scheduled to head to the lake to remove some of these dead fish and clean things up, especially before the hot weather expected this weekend. everyone was in awe. on monday. when we saw all the dead stuff just on the shore . disgusting it's horrible. and like i usually see the birds all

over there. the pelicans that you know, i saw one dark today. so i don't know how. how that's affecting all the birds. some need to be done. yeah because this been going on for like a month. we do get algal blooms around the bays margin. that's not uncommon, but they're isolated, and they last only a few days. typically this blue has been going on for over a month, and it's covering san francisco bay. so the scope and the duration of this bloom is unprecedented. now what's causing this prolonged algae problem? there may be a number of different factors, algae tends to flourish and low segment, water levels and warmer weather caused by the drought and climate change, but also things like excess waste water and fertilizer runoff can make the algae blooms worse, because those things actually feed the algae and allow them to flourish . now we're working to find out exactly when those opd crews will be doing this work. so far. we haven't seen any sign. of them just yet, but we are essentially anywhere along the

lake. you can see evidence of this problem with some of these dead fish. those white bumps you see on the surface and the distance. those are all large fish striped bass that have floated up to the surface. there's also been reports of stingrays and bat rays that have been found dead along the shore as long with a lot of sardines here as well, so it's a problem that people who frequent the lake say definitely needs to be addressed, and a lot of people are concerned about it live in oakland. ali rasmus ktvu fox. two news. people say you can smell it, too, with the issues that they're having their ali. thank you so much. a 36 is your time right now, with the heat on the way we're waiting to learn whether kelly will issue a flex alert. today the state utility grid manager has already put people on alert that reflects alert could be on the way over the next few days. experts say. california uses about 50,000 megawatts on a really hot day, well above the roughly 30 1000 megawatts used on a typical summer afternoon. they're worried that we could strain the grid with more people running air conditioning because of the hot weather. oftentimes when we see a heat wave like this come

in, people start cranking up their air conditioning in creates a strain on the grid. the energy grid in california is managed by callous. so um, p. jeannie you know, doesn't have a role in deciding whether there's a flex alert. um, but we do have a role in encouraging customers to do their part to save energy. well, experts say you don't necessarily have to turn off very sees. they want you to set your thermostat no lower than 77 degrees recommending you limit things that use a lot of power like running electric clothes, dryers, charging electric vehicles and avoid using washing machines to a flooding and power outage and water crisis in the south. torrential rain, which caused flooding cut power to jackson, mississippi's main water treatment facilities, the city is without safe water to drink, shower or even flush the toilet. joining us now is fox weathers. will nunley live in jackson with much more will. good morning to both of you. and that's right. jackson.

mississippi is no stranger to water walls. this is a community that has been dealing with serious water issues, really for decades. if you ask the mayor, but every time we have some type of natural disaster being a freeze or flooding situation like this, it really exposes the vulnerabilities of this system and just how quickly things can go down. and this morning, there is an entire community without reliable water. the schools here are not operational. they have sent the students home. but guys in many cases the student we are going back home where they don't have running water there. they can't flush the toilet. can't brush their teeth or get their day started. and so they're having to come to places like where i'm standing right now. this is one of the water distribution centers where people are just trying to get their hands on a bottle of water. we heard from the mayor here just last night. he really trying to paint the picture of what's happening here to repair this system. in the order of millions or even billions of dollars. take a listen. we've put in millions of dollars in terms of whether ization of our water treatment facility due to

what we've experienced in february, where the cold temperatures prolonged cold temperatures crippled our water treatment facility. there were spending money towards, uh towards automating certain parts of the plan. and i spent the morning at one of those water treatment plants where they have brought in vacuum trucks to try and clear out some of the sludge that was brought into the treatment plants during this that damage their pumps damage the tanks, the guys, even when they get that water back online, it's going into broken pipes and infrastructure that needs repair itself in the reality of day to day life right now, in jackson, mississippi, is bottle by bottle people trying to get their hands on this. they're bringing in the national guard with tanker trucks to make sure that critical infrastructure such as hospitals and the jail and things like that. have adequate water pressure, but this is a long term problem that we are. days if not weeks away from getting even slightly solved. the story continues here. we'll stay on topic with you fox weather and it lets you know how the progress is slowly being made for this community back to

you. have you been able to talk to people who say you know that's it? i'm packing up and going to my parents' house, or are people kind of essentially staying and having to deal with it? without a doubt if they have the means, you know, you have to keep in mind the amount of poverty about 25% of jackson lives at or below the poverty level. and so even though people want to get out, they may not have the means to do so. a lot of people have fled to area motels and hotels trying to catch a break there because a lot of the nearby water systems are functioning as they should, but you're right is a desperate situation here with people saying enough is enough. we have dealt with this for decades, and unless they can get some serious help, this may be the straw that broke the camel's back for several people, even just going to your parents' house would take a tank. guests and you know, being able to get off of work and all that. so it's an important reminder. i'm glad you brought that to us. thank you so much for your reporting this morning. what a difficult situation there. we ask you to stay up to date with all the weather related stories when you download the fox weather app or stream, fox, whether on your favorite device from the extreme

oakland community members who support the parents occupying parker elementary school say they're preparing for a confrontation with police. they received a notice to vacate the premises yesterday. they said the notice threatens arrest and says people at the school may have been engaging in unlawful activity, cites evidence that a gun was taken into onto the property. community activists deny those claims. we had a beautiful summer program here. um we've always been peaceful and, oh, usd is claiming that we have had firearms on campus, which is absolutely not true. we feel that this is a way that they're using to try and remove us from the building. oakland city council member carol five, joined the parker elementary parents, five, heads up the city's public safety committee and says, using oakland police to try to remove the protesters be an inefficient use of city assets. says the district is close to reaching a deal to sell the property, which would then allow

could have made it. the fbi closed its case 17 years later by the u. s. marshal service continues to investigate. in the unlikely event. the trio is still alive. of course, as you know, the swim from alcatraz has now become something of a san francisco tradition. yeah it's not a time for any of us to be complacent about fire danger. the worst of the season is yet to come. the area heading for one of the hottest weekends of the year. the safety precautions taken by firefighters and the concerns about the state's power grid plus married about three, maybe four times a week. it's kind of my second home, and i've never seen anything like this work crews cleaning the fish kill at lake merritt today, scientists had been monitoring and documenting this potential environmental hazard plus we wanted her to be off queen. she is queen. today marks 25 years since the death of princess diana,
