whacked out of their mind, whether it be drugs or whatever it is. like the city is just not doing anything about it. church leaders say they believe another unhoused individual came in a short time earlier during the confirmation service, walking up and down the main aisle with a bottle of wine. >> that man left, but his actions had some on edge, only to then have this second incident. regina scolaro, whose son goes to school here and says she's frustrated with the city right now, but not surprised by this until we figure out how to solve this problem and solve it with with compassion and also, you know, crack down on things for people that need to really understand there are consequences to their behavior. san francisco police say charges against the stabbing suspect are pending and the victim's injuries are non-life threatening. j.r. stone, abc seven news five security guards at a bar in petaluma are under

city of grants pass, oregon, passed an ordinance banning people from sleeping in public spaces because there were no shelters in grants pass, a homeless group sued and won. it argued the ban violated the constitution's eighth amendment, barring cruel and unusual punishment. the case then went to the ninth circuit court of appeals, which is based in san francisco, and won there as well. >> the reality is, the only thing that works is more more permanent affordable housing. >> the supreme court is expected to make a ruling by the end of june. that decision will have an impact on how san francisco handles the unhoused. earlier this year, a separate lawsuit over how the city clears encampment was put on hold pending a decision in the grants pass case back to you. kumasi. >> thanks, amanda. this week, governor newsom is planning to propose legislation to make it easier for people to get people from arizona to get abortions here in response to that state's near total abortion ban. so the
