>> reporter: his mom decided to take the kids to this popular park last april during spring break. >> there were kids all over. kids at camp and kids without parents. >> little did they know a highway patrol special task force had already made what turned out to be a fatal decision to serve a planned high-risk search warrant to an armed felon at a public park without clearing the park or notifying local police. >> i just really don't understand why they chose this park, that day. >> multiple shots fired. the suspect is a while male. >> reporter: they had been surveilling the felon. instead of serving the warrant at his home, they chose to wait until he took his dogs to a busy park. >> and then we see cops. >> reporter: and officers confronted the suspect who began shooting at them. >> gunshot wound to the hand and chest. >> reporter: firing back as they ran towards the batting cages. >> that's when we got on the ground. >> and then gunshots were fired. roughly 20.

>> reporter: bullet holes near the batting cages reveal how close the children were to being shot in the cross fire. >> it was terrifying. >> reporter: jim mckeegan and his sweetheart were out for walk. they just celebrated their 50th anniversary. it would be their last. as local police swarmed the park, jim was killed, and jabril used patty as a human shield. >> i was thinking they would shoot me. >> reporter: park staff rushed kids into the library, where they had to hide under tables to avoid the windows. >> he was too scared to go to sleep. >> reporter: a year later, the community is still desperate for answers and accountability. >> i would ask chp if they would make the same decisions if their kids were playing at the park. >> reporter: keep in mind, chp is the governor's police force with jurisdictions across the state. >> it could happen to anyone's family. >> reporter: chp won't answer questions or acknowledge any policy changes when serving a high-risk warrant. >> it feels like they are trying to cover it up. >> reporter: we have been searching for answers through

public records including video from that day, which appears after he was killed. >> the suspect is in custody. >> reporter: the sheriff's department hasn't released their coroner's report. but they say it is inconclusive on where the fatal shot came from, meaning it is not clear who fired it. roseville pd, which took over the investigation, says its confident the suspect fatally shot the victim, but refuses to release their full body camera video releasing just four 39-second editing clips. which appear to show officers shooting at each other amid the chaos. but provide little transparency or context on what went wrong that day. the risk to the children, the mckeegan's, and to officers. state law requires agencies release any recording that relates to a law enforcement shooting or critical incident. san francisco pd hosts its ovidios on the city's youtube channel. but roseville is now attempting to rewrite state

law. instead of what depicted the incident involving the discharge of the firearm. they claim they only have to release the video of the discharge of the firearm. >> the video is public property. >> reporter: phil ting wrote the law that roseville is trying to change. he's worried their interpretation could prompt other agencies to start withholding video, stressing the public pays for the police cameras and the servers they store that video on, so the video belongs to the public. >> when you drafted this legislation, did you intend to define the critical incident as only the moments of the discharge of the firearm? >> absolutely not. that would have been written into law and in order to provide transparency. you need to know what's happening leading up to the confrontation. >> reporter: in california, if the pub luck agency refuses to release that public record. your only option is to sue. >> and i imagine that will be a court decision on this. >> reporter: the consultant supports the transparency, but they also support roseville pd

in this case. >> we are not going to abide by the law. we will sue you to get this video and they need to foot that bill. is it fair? >> if they believe they are on solid ground doing the right thing, i would say let that other branch of government make that decision. >> we have now filed our body camera lawsuit, awaiting his trial. >> escape from the hospital. >> now facing additional charges for escaping about a month after the shooting. and in a twist of fate. >> i found it at grandma's house. >> he was found hiding in the creek just feet from sawyer's grandma's front door. >> i know 911. >> reporter: they learned a lot over the past year. >> but i don't have a phone. >> reporter: maybe more than any 7-year-old would have to. >> but i do have a plan. >> reporter: hoping the full body camera video would shed light on chp's plan that day. >> and dodging and dodging the gun shoots. >> reporter: providing answers and accountability. >> then i would hide. >> so other kids don't feel the need to plan for the e next chp shootout.

>> to be clear, the purpose of fighting for this video is not to air the graphic or sensational images, but provide context and clarity and closure for a traumatized community. and the purpose of this lawsuit is to prevent one agency from effectively rewrite state law. >> and they responded, julie watts. we have much more on our website at kpix.com. marin county has allocated $500,000 to help tackle sea level rise. under the plan officials will work together to come up with a unified structure and prepare more than 110 miles of coastal and bay shoreline from rising tides and extreme storms. well president joe biden announced tighter restrictions for the new cars and the trucks, all in an effort to make them greener. the new rules will require them and the emissions across all light duties makes and models. the epa says the changes with save drivers up to $6,000 over the

cofounder and ceo of the studio in uruguay. even in 2024, there aren't too many women like her in this industry. a survey of developers this year will show more than two-thirds are men. they say that number only increases outside the u.s. and she estimates that only about 3% to 5% have leadership roles like hers. >> it is really important for them. they are making video games to the cultural impact. >> reporter: while only a third of developers are women, lia says they make up about half of the people playing video games. >> it is important that women are well represented, and they actually look and talk like real women. >> reporter: she is also the president of the game developers association and works to get more women in the industry throughout latin america. >> we used to have very little representation. and sometimes it was oversexualized or made to be in the male gaze instead of something that actually represents us. >> reporter: as a woman running

a video game studio, she can have a direct impact on the characters we see in games and how we play them including this one she helped create. >> we don't ask you what your gender is. you can choose the way you want to be perceived. for example, the girl in the tutorial is to know i'm in this dress and they are helping you. and these are small little things that will change the perception of how people see video games and how they perceive the world. >> reporter: that's the progress that will keep her going. excited to see more women in gaming reaching new levels of the industry. >> the video games will have the power to change the world in the way that we would perceive it. yes, i think it's super important. that's what keeps me here. >> 30,000 people. that's a lot of gamers in town. >> yeah. >> 30,000 people that are coming to one conference. >> come to san francisco. so while the gaming conference is going on in san francisco, san

weekend. today was nice. the range of temperatures experienced over the past few days. to the low 70s, farther inland. most of these numbers closer to the water and very close to normal, but still several degrees above average. and that will be the case once again tomorrow. after we start off mostly in the mid to upper 40s to around 50 degrees. these numbers are very close to typical for late march. high temperatures tomorrow, again, one more day. it is a very similar pattern that we've seen, where temperatures have reached the low 70s in the santa clara valley and inland in the east bay. but closer to the bay, mostly 60s. half moon bay will be slightly warmer tomorrow and still above 60. low 60sin san francisco and the mid-60s for oakland. the mid to upper 60s as well. just a little bit cooler in other parts of the bay area where they will be thickening through tomorrow evening. ahead of the next storm system, which will send a good chance for the bay area and as we would wind the clock forward and show some moisture trying to sneak in to

the coast tomorrow and that will fall apart before they make it. the storm system with a good chance for rain into the north baby mid-morning on friday. spreading across the rest of the bay area. that's the first wave. there will be another round of off and on showers in the forecast on saturday. it's not going to rain everywhere all the time, but be flexible with any outdoor plans over the weekend, and the rain is going to pick up as well. the wind outlook from 11:00 on friday through 5:00 on saturday shows breezy conditions. again, saturday afternoon and evening, all the orange shaded tiles will end kate 20 to 30 miles an hour gusts, not strong enough. no significant power outage threat. but it is certainly going to be breezy and make it feel cooler. this will be a snow maker for the sierra. the winter storm watch goes into effect on midday friday. seems early to me because they will not add up much snow. but after that point, they will be talking about a foot or two of snow for most elevations above 5,000 feet. so the winter storm watch is in effect through

early sunday morning. something to keep in mind if you're be heading up to the sierra. then things will get tricky by the back half of the weekend. for the back half of the weekend or around the bay area, talking about lingering showers on sunday continuing into monday. a dry day on tuesday. and then yet another round of rain will be heading our way on wednesday. so we're going to get back into this active weather pattern that's going to be with us off and on for the next several days as we head into the last week of march. after one more day of near or above average temperatures tomorrow, it's back to below average with highs back to within five degrees of everyone else. well along the coast, you're farther inland, running well below normal. guys? >> basketball watching weather. time for a check at what's ahead at 6:00. >> thank you so much. it doesn't get much tighter than this. the race to represent silicon valley in congress is now down to one vote. yes, just one. that's right. so now the critical race for anna eshoo's seat could come down to somebody's mistake on a ballot. so we're going to take you inside,
