11:01 pm
it appears he raises his arm and then as more officers arrived at the scene, he begins to walk towards the police. he stands still for a few moments and then continues walking forward with arms raised. >> no, no, no. >> [ gunshots ] >> reporter: at that point, you hear a burst of gunfire. a loud, rapid succession of shots. the man falls backwards to the ground. from sky fox 2 you can see a machete near the white four- door sedan. police say the male driver was holding the weapon when police shot and killed him. investigators say vallejo police spotted the vehicle in vallejo and say it was wanted in connection with a robbery. they say the description and license plate matched an armed robbery in el cerrito two weeks ago. >> the suspect didn't stop and the pursuit started within the city of vallejo. it then got onto the freeway.
11:02 pm
>> reporter: the chase turned off highway 82 richmond parkway, busy with rush-hour traffic. no one else was hit by the bullets. richmond police say there officers were not involved in the pursuit but because the pursuit happened in richmond they will be involved in the case. >> we have invoked the protocol for any officer involved fatality incident. what that means is the richmond police department is conducting an investigation in parallel with that the contra costa county district attorney's office is also investigating this incident. >> reporter: the eyewitness who took that cell phone video agreed to do an interview with me this past hour. he talked to me about what he saw off the camera. that was not seen in that video clip. here is what he had to say: >> that knife was pretty big. they were giving him you know a lot of warnings to get on the ground, get on the ground. you know, before the video he had actually hit another car.
11:03 pm
and almost hit another car with a small child and it. all i kept thinking when he had the machete was if he gets to those officers, he is going to do some damage. and i don't think there was any other way the officers could have handled it other than to do what they did. >> reporter: that witness tells me that he also heard the suspect say "kill me" as he talked to police. we havnot been able to get any confirmation from investigators about that point. they are continuing their investigation. as for the eyewitness, he says his heart goes out to both the police officers and the family of the suspect. >> so what we know now is this involves three different cities. richmond, el cerrito, and vallejo? >> reporter: yes. we are trying to get more information about the el cerrito armed robbery that started all of this. i talked to some detectives tonight and they say they are still trying to piece this all together so we are expecting more information by morning. >> that video was really something, especially hearing the person who was shooting it
11:04 pm
saying no, no, no, no. and then all of a sudden all of that gunfire. >> reporter: he said it was really emotional. he said it was so traumatic for him even so many hours after this happened, he said he just doesn't understand. he really empathizes with the police officers who went through this and the other witnesses who saw it right out here in the middle of the neighborhood in the middle of the day, so obviously a difficult thing for him to see and for others to see, but certainly we will be getting more answers as the investigation continues. >> jana katsuyama in richmond. thank you. now to developing news above uc berkeley where a wild fire broke out prompting a massive response from a number of different agencies. fire crews are planning on staying on the scene all might to keep an eye out for hotspots. debora villalon is on grizzly peak road where the fire is still only 20% contained.

11:06 pm
engines, almost 200 firefighters, this fire wasn't an issue for structures. none were threatened but it was challenging. utility towers and steep terrain, temperatures in the low 90s and heavy fuels including eucalyptus. >> overnight conditions will be good. the challenge tonight, obvious visibility in the dark and continuing to work. >> reporter: during the fire, the lawrence berkeley national lab shut down along with the botanical gardens and the lawrence hall of science, where teachers told powered -- power would be cut and evacuated with their students. >> hanging out with the kids in our camp, trying to calm them down because they are nervous. >> reporter: fire agencies make no apology for overkill, fighting any fire in these canyons. it's an area where many jurisdictions overlap and they never want to get burned again like 1991 when a small fire resumed to be out whipped up the next day into an inferno that destroyed thousands of homes and killed 25 people. >> it's a lot of memories for many of us. there weren't many of us who are still around but we still teach it today. any fire in the oakland hills gets a large, almost massive
11:07 pm
response. >> reporter: and the dangers, even during mop up came -- became real clear when a firefighter slipped and tumbled down a steep hill, 50 feet down to the road below and he was taken away in an ambulance. he lost his footing trying to get away from hornets and stepped on a nest. just a mad scramble to try to avoid getting stung but unfortunately he got hurt in the fall. >> it feels odd to say the fire is only 20% contained yet it seems like for the most part the fire is essentially out. >> reporter: right. there are pockets of fire, hotspots within a perimeter. it is not moving. it is not aggressive at this point bet i did talk to the -- but i did talk to the deputy chief of oakland who says that number will jump dramatically in the morning once they have eyes on it from above and they
11:08 pm
can see the perimeter. there will be a lot of firefighting activity and mop up out here all day tomorrow. possibly into two -- into tomorrow evening as well. they are not going to take chances on these hotspots find they are still looking into the cause a long grizzly peak but the fire jumped from the westside to the east side when sparks were flying and they are also looking into the possibility this might be linked to a smaller fire yesterday afternoon in children park. that is quite coincidental, two fires, two days in a row. >> all right in the oakland hills, thank you. the ntsb says last month's close call at sfo was even closer than first thought releasing these photos along with today's report. the incoming air canada circled in these pictures. it's hard to see but below the circle are four other airplanes waiting to take off. investigators say the airbus
