92 in concord, livermore, morgan hill, santa rosa will hit a high of about 86. we'll go through when that warmup in temperatures comes in. mike, you're watching a couple of issues for the morning commute. >> kari, we have a crash, the same area as yesterday. the richmond area, getting away from the bay bridge. pretty much everything else is green. we're looking at a full stop for eastbound 80 past hill top heading up towards the carquinez bridge. if you get over to san pablo avenue or the richmond parkway, you can get around this. local streets likely to get more traffic as the morning begins. if you're on surface streets, do be careful. >> thank you very much. first this morning, police in oakland investigating a shooting and car crash they believe may have started on a nearby freeway. video shows a car hit by

multiple rounds. a witness told a photographer on the scene that a woman and child were in the car and hit by gunfire. police are not confirming any of those details and it's not clear if there's information on a possible suspect. that shooting developing along with a separate freeway shooting yesterday in the south bay. the known person impacted in that shooting was an off-duty police officer. the officer was not hit by the gunfire but the question is was he targeted and should you be concerned as you drive down the freeway? >> reporter: a clear bullet hole on a vehicle belonging to a san jose officer who police say was off duty when a bullet struck his right passenger door on northbound 101 near highway 85. >> very thankful that our officer was not injured. he could obviously have been seriously injured or killed. and so just extremely thankful for him and his family. >> reporter: the san jose police officers association president sean pritchard says the off duty

officer was on his way to work and was clearly shaken up. >> with the rise in ambushes on law enforcement officers it enters our minds right away. it's unclear at this time if this officer was targeted. >> reporter: investigators with the california highway patrol say it happened around 2:00. the officer told chp he didn't see a gun but heard a pop and described the suspect vehicle as a white hatchback with no license plates. community members say it's a tragedy but not surprising. >> definitely heard of a few others that are kind of similar. obviously, it has an affect on peoples overall fear about their safety around here. >> reporter: a few months ago, a santa clara sheriff's deputy reported being shot at as he was

driving on southbound 185. these types of incidents have been plaguing the bay area for the last three years, which has prompted the governor's office to launch a pilot program for 200 cameras in 50 freeway locations in the bay area and southern california. last week, caltrans confirmed some of those cameras may soon be going up in counties like alameda and contra costa. >> i know there's always a lot of concern from others in the public about privacy concerns, but these are really utilized for the protection of the community. police in palo alto searching for a man who sexually assaulted a woman at the palo alto transit center. it happened early saturday morning between 2:00 and 3:00 a.m. that's when a woman was followed from a bus stop on university avenue and the man attacked her near a portable restroom. she was treated for minor injuries. police are working on creating a sketch for that suspect. in san mateo, police are investigating the accidental poisoning of three residents at

an assisted living facility. a worker at the atria park senior center says it happened at the memory care ward. a 93-year-old woman died. two others were sent to the hospital. it is now believed on sunday night, the three were served a red liquid. one staff member believed it was juice. the facility initially described it as dish washing liquid. we've since learned it was an industrial bathroom cleaner. one attorney believes this qualifies as negligence. >> under california law, the definition of neglect of a senior citizen is failing to protect them from safety hazards. not only here did they fail to protect them from a safety hazard, they created a safety hazard. >> the district attorney's office is not involved so far because there's no indication that the poisoning was criminal or intentional.

the incident is being investigated. the man accused of planting hidden cameras inside of a restroom at a walnut creek starbucks made his first court appearance yesterday. he is accused of installing cameras in the walnut creek starbucks on main street, but other businesses in downtown walnut creek may have been targeted as well. so far they identified nearly 40 victims at the starbucks between june 4th and july 23rd. if you were there in that timeframe and if you have further information, they would like to speak to you. moving forward on the new covid-19 vaccine booster shot. the fda is expected to give emergency use authorization any day now. this will target the newest omicron subvariant. this will also be the first covid vaccination distributed without results from human
