department employees actually ran to pull citizens to safety. in one case, one officer was was described one fire department person tackled somebody to the ground to protect that person and the police department calling the fire department heroes. the fire department though not ready to talk about this today. they are grieving, as well. they were very much involved in this just as the santa cruz police department was, as well. back to you. >> mark, you know, when you hear about how many shots were being fired back and forth and in your video we saw the size of the hole put in the house of the siding of the house. >> reporter: yeah. >> it's a miracle nobody else was hurt. >> reporter: it really is. when you look at that apartment complex where that garage is shot up, i mean, it's a very densely populated area. somebody could have been parking a car, a bullet could have flown through a window. a lot of people live there. the fact that nobody else is involved, indeed something very fortunate for everything involved. >> indeed. all right, mark, thanks so much. for more on the officers killed including we have this morning's news conference in its entirety, you can log on to our website, cbssf.com and we will have more on the suspect a

6:07 pm
those companies ought to be stepping up. >> reporter: the private sector is pitching in on the $9 million party. the private bay area bridge alliance has raised $3.5 million to pay for fireworks, a half marathon and a bike ride leaving the public to pay the remaining $5.6 million which will cover transportation, security and crowd control. but state senator jerry hill doesn't want the public paying for it and is introducing a bill to make it illegal. >> i like a good party. i think a party is a good idea. but the idea of making the commuters and the taxpayers be responsible for that just didn't seem right. >> reporter: today commissioners debated another solution whether to have the public pay a minimum of $5 to walk across the bridge the day before it opens to help recoup public funds. >> i think everybody should be able to have the opportunity to come and they shouldn't be barred by having some kind of a fee. >> i think it is appropriate to charge a fee. maybe not a significant fee. >> reporter: for now, that proposal is up in the air along
6:08 pm
with the question of who will pay for this party. christin ayers, kpix 5. >> and kpix 5 is the official broadcast partner for the bay bridge alliance. a little later in this newscast, a story you're only going to see right here on kpix 5. we'll take you inside a little known tunnel across the bay. right now, san francisco utility crews are working to repair a giant sinkhole created early this morning. a 16" water pipe came apart and pumped hundreds of thousands of gallons of water on to the streets above. it happened about 3 a.m. near 15th and wawona street. kpix 5 reporter phil matier shows us how the clean-up is coming along tonight. >> reporter: it's interesting. it's very slowly but it's interesting, allen, and this is another one of those stories that just goes to show that in an aging city, sometimes your biggest headaches can be under your feet and you don't know they're coming. this was the scene today as a small army of city workers,
6:09 pm
private clean-up crews, insurance adjustors and stunned homeowners began dick digging out from the water that flooded the street when a 16" city water pipe ruptured early this morning sending thousands of gallons of water up to three feet deep in some places. >> i went downstairs without any boots or anything, and i was in water about a foot and a half probably. my car had water in it parked in the garage. so it was quite a mess. >> i'm not sure insurance even covers this. >> reporter: how come? >> they said that it's ground water. >> reporter: as for permanent damage -- >> it moves elements in the foundation. >> reporter: cracks are also growing on his walls and a sinkhole has opened up in his neighbor's backyard. it's too early for damage estimates, but considering that homes here go for about a million dollars or more each, it is definitely going to cost. residents tell us that they were told the pipe may have been damaged when the city was replacing a nearby sewer line. >> there is a possibility that, you know, some of that work might have impacted this work. we don't know yet.
6:10 pm
>> reporter: or it could have been a defective well. >> that's why they removed that entire section of pipe and sending it off for analysis. we'll know in a few days more about what the cause was. >> reporter: now, we as ratepayers and water users are probably going to pay for this work including the damage. i got to tell you, i was talking with one gentleman down the street. he woke up this morning had 3 feet of water in his new basement he just renovated. what is he going to do now? he said renovate it again. >> i like the comment from the guy who says the insurance company says it's ground water. it wasn't in the ground until the city put it there. [ laughter ] >> reporter: go figure. >> phil matier in san francisco, thank you. they lost contact with loved ones a month ago. just an hour ago, we heard from the family of a bay area couple thought to be missing in peru. >> plus, we're off to our dry he is year in more than 100 years. the bay area city that hasn't been this dry since the mid 1800s. >> guess what.

6:15 pm
basis. and that all stopped after january 25. the family contacted u.s. and peruvian officials after the state department issued a travel warning noting that criminals may have been planning to kidnap u.s. citizens in peru. >> i can't wait to see my son and his girlfriend, jamie, walking off a plane in sfo and grabbing him in my arms and holding him close to me. >> reporter: and we don't know when that couple will fly back to the bay area. in fact, the family would not take any questions during that brief press conference. a lot of questions such as, why they all of a sudden stopped contacting their family members and friends. allen? >> i guess rule number one, you're going to go off the grid, let somebody know you're going off the grid for weeks at
6:16 pm
a time. >> reporter: exactly. maybe they were having too much fun. >> maybe. we'll find out. da lin, thanks. it's been a dry start to 2013 and in fact, the last time the bay area saw this little rain millard fillmore was president and california had only been a state for less than two years. kpix 5 reporter ann notarangelo tells us why water officials aren't worried. >> reporter: it's been a week since any rainfall and november and december deluge is but the a memory. across the bay area we are off to the driest year in decades. in san francisco, it's the driest start since 1852. lately, we have been awash in sunshine. >> the water district is continuously looking at what water supplies we have available to serve our customers. >> reporter: and the contra costa water district says it thinks it's in good shape this season even with a dry spell. >> we will probably use some of the storm in the reservoir but that's why we have it. >> reporter: e.b. m.u.d. said it started the rainy season with 200% of the average
6:17 pm
water storage and is down to 80% which is still considered good. the reservoirs have up to three years' supply but if we don't get two to three big storms by late spring, e.b. m.u.d. says automatic triggers kick in. the first step is voluntary conservation but no one is using the word drought. >> of course, we always encourage our customers to use water wisely and don't wastewater. but there's no need to panic at this point. >> reporter: across the bay area, water districts are talking about record low rainfall but above average water storage. even in marin county, which heavily relies on local rainfall, their water storage is at 97% capacity. they don't think they will have to talk about water rationing come spring. keep in mind our rainy season isn't over and we could still get our fair share. >> we have in the past. i mean, there's been miracle marches. >> reporter: which brings us back to 1852 and those parched conditions. that march, san francisco got
6:18 pm
more than 6" of rain, twice the normal amount. one can hope history is destined -- is going to repeat itself. >> reservoir levels are below normal and lower than normal snowpack in the sierra nevada mountains where santa clara gets half of its water won't help. paul deanno is here. you know, typically what happens, we have these long dry spells and how we break those is this deluge thing but you don't see this. >> sometimes normal rainfall is a drought and a flood divided by two. then you get there. i wouldn't be surprised at all if we end up with november through april being normal ralph. we got about 80% of it in november. not a drop since. feels like that. a beautiful night outside. the atmosphere is a little more humid so we'll be a little more efficient in holding the heat this evening. won't be as chilly overnight. a few of you made 70 again. sonoma hit 70. gilroy beat you by 4, 74 degrees there. concord, san jose hit 68. now, on the peninsula, look at
6:19 pm
san francisco only 64. it was the mid-50s by the afternoon. and half moon bay only 56. that's because of the onshore flow. i'll explain that in a second. here's a look at our radar. it is mainly dry right now. and we'll stay that way, kpix 5 high-def doppler radar, there is some rain in northern california but you have to go about three hours north of here to get there. increasing high cloud cover passes by to the north because that ridge of high pressure is shoving that moisture far away from us. so we will go from an onshore flow to an offshore or northeast wind by friday. that will warm us up even in san francisco likely close to 70 degrees. then after that, we'll see some changes. the onshore flow is back for everybody. we are cooler over the weekend, low 60s by sunday. and there is some rain moving in by the middle of next week so 70s on friday, we'll be down to the low 60s by sunday but still dry. rain holds off until next tuesday. highs tomorrow oakland 67. san jose 67. fairfield 69.
6:20 pm
wine country will hit the 70s once again. extended forecast low 70s on friday. then we cool down over the weekend but a pleasant weekend to get outside. we have two chances of rain next tuesday -- do you believe it? wow! breaking news! two chances of rain next tuesday and next wednesday. >> wednesday are we getting a little bit more? >> looks like this could be .25" to half inch of rain. that's not a ton but compared to the past couple of weeks, it's not bad. >> it's a start. >> thank you. next stop, devil's slide! tonight a tour of the new tunnel and how it is so smart, it can even override your radio.
6:21 pm

francisco the public lat 30 tonight, we're getting a new look inside the devil's slide tunnel south of san francisco. >> that tunnel set to open later this spring after a construction project that took more than 7 years and cost more than $400 million. kpix 5's don ford on the safety
6:23 pm
feature that allows the tunnel to talk to drivers. >> reporter: it feels like traveling into the future. caltrans says the new tom lantos tunnel at devil's slide is one of the most advanced tunnels in the nation. and it's almost ready to open. >> we're doing the final testing of both the equipment and the people that use the equipment. we're putting in safety systems and traffic operating systems. >> reporter: this mile-long tunnel is actually two tunnels. one in each direction equipped with 32 high-powered jet fans that can clear both tubes in less than 90 seconds. there are 21 emergency boxes, security cameras and intrusion alarms all being tested. but the most unusual high-tech feature is this plain white pipe. it's actually an antenna connected to what's called a rebroadcast system. >> it can override any radio station you're listening to, a.m. or fm, so in case there's an emergency, we can come on and
6:24 pm
override your radio and say, stop your car, get out here, go through the cross passage. >> reporter: and, of course, the heat sensors that the state fire marshal is testing today. all of it controlled here on site 24/7 to blend in with the hills caltrans hired the landscape artist who designed the disneyland indiana jones ride. he molded the structural concrete from local rocks using five different paints to achieve a natural effect. while the tunnel appears to be pretty much done, caltrans says there's still a lot of testing and certification that has to be completed. so they will commit to an opening date only if sometime this spring. in pacifica, don ford, kpix 5. >> now, while some critics say the tunnel only saves five minutes of commute time, caltrans says when the devil's slide section of the highway washes out again, that tunnel could save as much as an hour.

6:31 pm
news conference about whether they were wearing body armor or not. the assumption was not because they were in plainclothes but that specific point was not addressed so to be clear we don't know if they did have body armor on or not. we're speculating. >> thank you. mark sayre, thank you. tonight goulet's father tells the "associated press" that his son was a ticking time bomb with a deep resentment for law enforcement and the justice system. and in recent years. he had run-ins with both. >> two officers down. >> reporter: before last night's explosion of violence in santa cruz, jeremy goulet's criminal record traced back to portland, oregon and a young couple's bathroom window. >> he was looking at my girlfriend take a shower. >> reporter: three separate types in late 2007. >> it felt horrible. for a while i couldn't go to the bathroom alone. >> reporter: during a third incident the victim's boyfriend confronted the peeper. as they struggled on the

look, if you have copd like me you know it can be hard to breathe, and how that feels. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva helps control my copd symptoms by keeping my airways open for 24 hours. plus, it reduces copd flare-ups.
6:42 pm
spiriva is the only once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that does both. spiriva handihaler tiotropium bromide inhalation powder does not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens your throat or tongue swells, you get hives, vision changes or eye pain or problems passing urine. other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. nothing can reverse copd. spiriva helps me breathe better.
