6:16 am
problem. now he also says the underlying cause of homelessness is unaffordable rent. >> so his organization, the south bay community land trust, is focused on creating more permanent affordable housing. >> the tax deadline is exactly six weeks away. irs criminal investigators identified $5.5 billion in fraud last year. cybersecurity experts are also warning that fraud could be much higher this year because of artificial intelligence. researchers found posts on the dark web of scammers showing how they profited from frauds through stolen passports, ids and personal information. scammers can also create photos and videos to fool irs identity verification systems. >> so one of the things that taxpayers need to fear is people entering into some of these tax systems that use this technology, where now the us trs fighting back. >> the department says it

6:38 am
attacked president biden's mental capacity, but he's been facing questions about his own. this is now the third time at least, that donald trump has confused president joe biden and barack obama in the past six months. he's also mixed up nikki haley with nancy pelosi at some of his past rallies. well as the snow falls, starts to slow down, there is a lot of work to do in the sierra. >> you're seeing some of the shoveling there. blizzard conditions over the weekend. some areas saw several feet of snow near the lake tahoe area thisúpast weekend. now the focus turns to digging out from the banks of snow. they're still going to weather reporter max gn has been in south lake tahoe all weekend. joining us now from the sierra. boy, max. incredible. i've been up there in the best of conditions and i've been stuck up there. so how does it look right now? >> well, i think a lot of folks up here got a little bit stuck. but for those who wore out the
6:39 am
storm, i thinkc folks kind of enjoyed it. it was a pretty cool experience. we had the winds that were whipping at times, a whole lot of snowfall, and now finally, well, we've got some good weather. let's take a look around. we've got some blue skies. the sun is starting to come out here in heavenly village. the gondola still not running right now, but you can finally see the mountain over there. just a beautiful sight. you can see the top there. just dusted with new snow. so i was actually able to get out onto heavenly, uh, onto the and it ws pretty darn awesome. still pretty ferocious conditions though. uh, pretty tough to see at times, but a whole lot of fresh powder.c now for those trying to get up into the sierra, travel has been a nightmare. i-80 still shut down between colfax and the nevada line. uh, apparently caltrans has their blowers breaking down. they say that their snow blowers , uh, are down to just a handful , and they are not able to
6:40 am
reopen on i-80 because of these spproblems. uh, no timeline for when i-80 is going to reopen that stretch between colfax and the nevada line. us 50, there's also been a lot of problems there. yesterday there was a snow slide. it trapped several vehicles there, and caltrans actually had to pullc out some vehicles with their graders, their snow graders. luckily, nobody was hurt. but down usc 50 for about 30 minute. and there have been a lot of spinouts on tough conditions on that roadway trying to get up here. a lot of resorts, they've had to shut down over the weekend, and those that have been open, they've only been open with limited capacity yesterday though at heavenly there are some pretty long lines, simply because there's just a few lifts open and everyone was just trying to get on the mountain. there have been some power outages associated with this storm as well. a few thousand customers were out at the height of the storm, but luckily utility crews have been getting a handle on things and power outage numbers have slowly been going down. now we are expecting more snow up here in the sierra this week,
6:41 am
one to two feetúin someúplaces, so more winter weather on the way. but if you can get up here it is a tough track, but if you can get up here, plenty. >> pam okay, i have to say i'm a ski, that you are thatu got tot- today? the gondola, it could be from from winds as well. and what about the other resorts? obviously, people shouldn't drive now, but if they're headed up, if they're fortunate enough to go this week or later this weekend, how's it look up thered bag right now. uh, you know, a lotc trying to open up again today, but you said it. they're really. the wind has been the biggest factor in this storm. that's the reason why the gondola behind me has been closed the entire time. um, i think there are a lot of hopes to get it back open, but we're still seeing pretty strong wind gusts up in the mountain peaks and over mountain passes as well . you know, we had that 190 mile per hour gust over at palisades tahoe during the height of the storm. really impressive wind
6:42 am

6:54 am
are trying to work through. that determine exactly what happened. so four deputies, were they in two separate cars? uh, they were all in separate vehicles. so four vehicles, four separate vehicles. and how long of an area is this investigation span? >> this is a pretty long intersection. >> it is a long intersection. spthere are multiple crime scen. um the suspect stopped and fired rounds at different locations. um, it's unclear exactly how long the pursuit was, but, um, it was it was like the how to b? >> uh, this, uh, stretch from, um, on court road. >> it's hard to determine. it totallyúdepends on how the investigation goes and how fast, uh, information can be processed. what can you tell us about the suspect? >> the man who was killed in age. did he have a prior history ? have you known to deputies? >> i don't know anything at this point. um, like i said, you know, with with this much going on and multiple crime scenes,

6:56 am
arrived on scene, he fled. and that was what started the pursuit was he brandished that weapon in front of a privatet& residence or in front of a business. >> where did it, uh, originally, it's unclear at this point. >> there are detectives are working where it took place. and who made the call, what exactly that initial call was. what kind of car was the suspect driving? um, i don't know exactly. itúwas a smaller white vehicle. is it a toyota or. >> you don't know? >> possibly. i don't know anything you can tell us about the deputy with a head injury? deputies in the hospital beingt- checked. obviously, medical personnel is doing what that everything's, uh, safe and. that he's. he's healthy. um, but. inn that other than that. >> and the deputies, the two
6:57 am
deputies who injured their hand. how did that happen? >> that again, is unclear. um, it was either some sort of glass or shrapnel. um i don't know. i haven't heard from the hospital what exactly? it was, but apparently it was significant injury to the hand. do we know where the leg the one deputy was shot? uh, i don't i believe it was the lower, but but, um, again, you know, with everybody visiting the hospital, um, and then the initial investigation starting, there's been a lot of information that we're trying to dig through, you know, both crime scenes.ou said multiple >> so are they all within this? i mean, obviously, it's almost a half mile in every direction, right? it's all within this perimeter. >> are these two scenes? yes. okay >> and you'd estimate that's about a half mile stretch of but it is >> okay. yeah >> anything else you want to tell us that we didn't ask? >> not at this point. um, you know, with a chaotic dynamic crime scene like this that spans multiple locations, um, with multiple deputies involved, uh,
6:58 am
there's a lot. so as soon as wee able to get more information to sometimes this process is slow. so bear with us. no estimated time to reopen. no, not at this point. the only question, um, how far between the crash scene and the initial, uh, do you know how far between the initial report and how. >> okay, i don't okay. on the age of the suspect, it's too soon to say it is. >> thank you for your time. wet- appreciate it from santa rosa, where four sheriff's deputies were injured in a shootout and pursuit in santa rosa. ktvu is ali rasmus is there. she'll bring us an update with allúthe up to date information that she has in just a couple of minutes, our time now. 658 one person in san jose is recovering in a hospital following a fire there. the fire department posted this photo from the incident near loma prieta drive. the fire was
