>> well, who knows, maybe like your great great grandchildren will be able to go up for the cost of a southwest ticket. do you know what i mean? oh that's what i'm thinking. >> it's going to happen. >> yeah. it'll remember how vcrs used to cost an arm and a leg, and now they're 20 bucks at cvs. yeah, so maybe vcrs, cameras? >> yeah, the same way. exactly. that's the hope. anyway, in the future, that is the hope. >> all right, let's go and start our newscast here in the south bay. a developing story we've been following for you as an armed suspect remains in the hospital right now after being shot and wounded by san jose police. it happened shortly after 4:00 yesterday afternoon on colmar drive near the east capitol expressway. police say they were called to the scene after getting reports there was a man firing a gun in the neighborhood. >> when officers arrived on scene, the suspect was still actively discharging a firearm, prompting an officer involved shooting. we can tell you that no officers were struck by gunfire at this time. the suspect was hit by officer gunfire and was transported to a local hospital with life threatening injuries. >> san jose police are expected to update the suspect's condition later today. at this point, investigators have not said what led to yesterday's shooting. katie rasmus has been at the scene all morning. we'll bring her in for another live report with updates coming up at 930. >> in oakland, police are investigating what appears to be a shooting just outside the

oakland federal building. we're working to confirm the specific details of this incident with police. video from the scene shows a car crash into a construction site at the corner of 14th and jefferson. the front windshield of this car appears to have bullet holes. no word yet on any injuries. officers closed several blocks of downtown oakland to conduct their investigation. we'll continue to update you as we learn more. >> all right, now to a developing story in the middle east. right now, iran's president and foreign minister dead after a helicopter they were on crashed into a remote area yesterday. the deaths are a shock, but the state department says they're unlikely to have any effect on iran's policy, such as their support for hamas and their push to produce nuclear weapons. as fox's rebecca castor reports, iran's relationship with the biden administration is also unlikely to change. >> after searching for hours in the mountains, iranian soldiers made it to the crash site on monday, where a helicopter carrying iranian president ibrahim raisi and the country's foreign minister went down. they found no survivors at this

point. >> there is no evidence of foul play. it looks like an accident. >> iranian officials will investigate the crash and while the country mourns, president raises death, analysts say there are many who will not miss him. >> ebrahim raisi was considered the butcher of iran, the butcher of tehran, by iranians for his personal role in one of the greatest mass executions of political prisoners. >> while ruiz's death is a significant loss, it's not likely to change current policy inside iran, but it does raise questions about the country's future. >> its supreme leader, ayatollah ali khamenei, who sets the policy for iran and certainly raisi was a protege and a potential successor to the supreme leader. but he's not determining the policy. >> iran is known for backing militant proxy groups like hamas and hezbollah, and recently the regime has cracked down on women's rights, and there's been a massive surge in government backed executions. the us state

department says those policies will likely continue. >> so we're going to just trade this terrorist for the next terrorists that the that the ayatollahs have are going to install. >> iran's vice president mohammad mokhber, will serve as interim president. iranian law requires new elections be held within 50 days. in washington, rebecca castor, ktvu, fox two news. >> well, today, the international criminal court's chief prosecutor said he will seek warrants for some of the main figures in the war in gaza and he believes israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and three hamas leaders are guilty of war crimes. the prosecutor says he will seek arrest warrants for other leaders on both sides of this war. legal experts say the court will have a difficult time prosecuting israeli leaders, but they say a trial could be a major embarrassment for the israeli government. >> the us is renewing its effort to secure a cease fire deal in gaza this weekend. white house national security adviser jake sullivan met with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu in jerusalem. there, they discussed

israel's postwar plan. the us is pushing for an agreement that would see saudi arabia and israel work together to implement a two state solution. president biden said he's working to end the fighting altogether, as the war between israel and hamas nears its eighth month. >> what's happening in gaza and israel is heartbreaking. it's a humanitarian crisis in gaza. that's why i've called for an immediate cease fire. >> israel may be headed toward a political crisis. a member of the country's war cabinet and a key rival of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, has threatened to quit if israel doesn't come up with a better plan for gaza. a man is expected to survive after driving off a cliff along highway one and being ejected nearly 350ft from his car. >> it happened around 8 a.m. yesterday. the sonoma county sheriff's office says the car's automatic crash notification system alerted 911 and gave dispatchers the location of the crash. helicopter crews found the injured man about 300ft beneath the car. the helicopter

flew the critically injured victim to a local trauma hospital to receive treatment. >> well, pretty incredible video there. glad he survived. all right steve paulson, he is up next for us this morning. he's tracking the weather on this monday morning. >> that is correct. we'll start with the boy temps because they are darn cold here for may 20th 49 degrees. the water temp at point reyes. i'm sure bodega bay is. unfortunately it hasn't worked in about a year, which is just it's wrong. you got to fix that. that's important point. arena 49, san francisco boys been between 52 and 53. then half moon bay down to monterey. bowie's mid 50s. this is really cold water. not much left of the fog on the san mateo coast. you can see just like that disappearing. still some hanging on on santa cruz over to santa clara valley. but most of that is disappearing a little warmer today. clear for most fog south temps near average. a little above, especially out to the valley where they're getting that north breeze. for the city, though, they've been stuck in the low 60s. i'll go 65 today.

the lowest 50 average 6451. so right about where you should be. 92 the record 1988 and 43 the record low way back 1899. san rosa, san francisco, livermore, redwood city, up we go 80, 65, 80 and 76 forecast highs for santa rosa for about the last five days have been way too warm. i'll buy into it today though. upper 70s to near 80. same for livermore and also redwood city, so warmer inland. it's all really wind driven. not so much high pressure. it's that northerly breeze. i think we top it out. and don't be surprised if by thursday that fog comes pouring back with the north breeze. vacaville 70, brentwood 66. they have a north breeze yet. 10 degrees difference between vacaville and travis. one had a west wind, one had a north wind. that'll do it every time. mainly 50s to near 60 for many. not much left of that fog. looks like it's gilroy, hollister, santa cruz, but disappearing. and that's probably going to be the theme for not only today, but also tomorrow. but if without that north wind, the water temps are so cold, all we need is another system to drop in here. and it

will thursday night. friday, but warmer for the next few days inland. and then it looks like another system drops in thursday friday. and that fog bank and those water temps will send in another screaming fog bank for the next couple of days though. more sunshine 6070 inland will go with some 80s tomorrow. i think with a little help we could get some mid 80s. still looks nice wednesday then cooling and much cooler weather kicks in thursday and into the weekend. >> thank you steve, we are so excited for this coming friday morning when mornings on to the night kicks off our fox local zip trips. our first stop is concord, then east bay city has long drawn people who want to follow its beer or taco trails. we also go to see a movie at the family owned drive-in there. they can also head out to hurricane harbor, the water park. look, this friday we are live at concord's todos santos plaza. if you're in the area, we would love for you to come down and say hi in person. you can watch all the behind the scenes fun and happenings. you can of course watch it live on fox two and the fox fox local app. it is a fun way to kick off memorial day weekend. the fact that we won't be roasting on friday

morning in concord is of great benefit to us because, you know, in concord you can be sweating it out even at 9:00 in the morning. not the case. calm and comfortable. i can't wait and it's going to be good food. >> you know, that's my part of it. and it's i'm telling you, i don't think i've ever tasted a better or seen a better collection of taco restaurants. >> we for sure have gone to concord just to eat. >> yeah, you have, you have. really? yes. >> oh, for sure. over the years. yes. oh, wow. yes. >> yeah. a little secret jams over there. it doesn't get much love. yeah. you know, in parts of the east bay that i'm glad we're going to be able to showcase those areas and not and not get a tan line. >> i might be okay with not, you know, being being able to go there and get a seat at a table real quick, right? >> that's true, that's true. you know, and you know, everyone's not all hoity toity about reservation. >> you know, it's great. it's so much fun. >> yeah. all right. coming up on mornings on two. the nine. in a digital world, it could seem like everyone's face is glued to a screen. but how we use and behave on our devices, in public and around our loved ones can seem rude or dismissive. navigating technology etiquette

just right around the corner. as the weather gets warmer , a new cdc report is reminding us the importance of water safety. the cdc says the number of drowning deaths are on the rise. from 2020 to 2022, more than 4500 people drowned on average each year. that's 500 more per year compared to 2019. the biggest rise has been among children. with us now is deputy fire chief dan coyle from the menlo park fire district. those numbers, chief, don't sound very good at all. >> no. good morning sal. thanks for having me. and more importantly, thank you for putting out this this very important message, the numbers are definitely heading the wrong direction. and the cdc has a lot of recommendations that we would encourage every parent to check out and educate themselves. >> chief, first of all, a lot of parents don't teach their children to swim, but there are a lot of free programs at cities . you know, a lot of cities just

you can go to the local pool and they'll give you free lessons. why don't more people take advantage of that? >> i can't really speak to the people that don't do that. but just to reiterate what you just said, south, reaching out to your local public pools, a lot of them have programs to teach youth how to swim, which would obviously make them safer around the water environment, as a father of two young children, that was definitely a point we made early in our in their lives was to make sure that they were able to swim and safe around the water, just from my experience, as in the fire department as well as my personal life, we spent a lot of time on and near swift water. so it was really important for us to make sure our kids were safe and obviously always wearing a life jacket. >> chief, what is the biggest mistake people make being in the water or getting into the water, other than of course, not properly supervising your children? >> well, exactly what you just said. so not not paying attention, being distracted, looking at your cell phone. and i think people really underestimate the power of moving water, be it the ocean,

the waves or rivers, etc. so i'd say, distractions and then also underestimating as steve just pointed out in your last segment, the ocean temperatures are in the low 50s along our coastlines right now, that will definitely, disable anyone, even the best of swimmers, pretty quickly when it comes to rescues on these, what challenges do you face? >> first of all, you have to get there rather quick and how quick can you get that boat that you have in the water, we have, our boats are in in our, one of our stations, many of the fire departments that have, you know, maritime, you know, ports in their city or whatever have they have they'll have boats in the water currently. but of course, by the time, within a few minutes, it's usually, you know, unfortunately a body recovery. so the best thing people can do is to not rely on their local fire department, but make some good decisions on their own. and then, of course, we're there to help in any way we can, we have parents listening right now. what would you say? the number

one thing is to be safe around the water starting in summer, because it gets hot. you know, kids want to be in the pool or, you know, at the lake. what do you think the number one thing to do is keep an eye on your kids and wear a flotation device. >> it's very easy to be distracted, become complacent around the water, especially if it's a place that you've visited, you know, many people will go back to the same spot on the river that they've been been going to for generations and not understand that in a, you know, a higher snowmelt year like this one, the water will be more swift and colder and the dynamics will be very different. and it literally only takes a second. and oftentimes it's silent. you don't even know that your child has fallen in the water or has been submerged. >> the youngest kids, the most vulnerable, because after they get to be a little older and they can swim, first of all, they know better than to just jump in the water right? >> i would assume that that is correct. i will say that the cdc website does say that, children 1 to 4, it's the leading cause of death. so i imagine that's

probably a combination of decision making, probably balance. and also, hopefully learning how to swim. deputy fire chief dan coyle from the menlo park fire district. >> thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you. sal. >> all right. coming up on mornings on two. the nine a travel warning for the lgbtq plus community. why the state department is issuing warnings ahead of busy summer travel season. and june's pride month. also ahead, a major development in david depape case. the reason a federal judge is reopening the sentencing portion of his ca after he

streets in the japantown neighborhood. firefighters say the flames caused major damage, but no one was hurt. investigators are now trying to determine if the fire could be linked to people who were living in the vacant building. >> i'm getting reports from communicating with some of the people who are the property owners of the building, that they've had some issues with homeless people staying in the building or in camping in the area of the building. >> firefighters say the building that went up in flames this morning previously was home to a japanese restaurant called kubota, but it appears to have been closed for several years. >> a new shuttle service is starting at california's oldest state park this week, as it continues to recover from a devastating wildfire. the icu fire burned 97% of big basin

redwoods state park in santa cruz county back in 2020. the free shuttle service marks the biggest increase in service since the park's reopening in july of 2022. shuttles will run from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. starting memorial day weekend through labor day. it's a chance for visitors to see all the regrowth and signs of wildlife returning to the forest there. >> well, this morning the ship that crashed into a bridge in baltimore finally being moved away from the crash scene. now that container ship has not moved since it slammed into the francis scott key bridge back in march. and this morning, tugboats are pushing it back to dock. you can see that here. the process is expected to take about 21 hours. the crash killed six construction workers who had a major impact on the port of oakland, by the way, which is one of the busiest in the country. congress is still debating how much money to put towards rebuilding that bridge. investigators are searching for the cause of a weekend fire on yerba buena island that caused a huge traffic jam on the bay bridge. the brush fire broke out saturday afternoon, creating a huge plume of smoke and shutting down the eastbound lanes of the

bridge. dozens of firefighters battling the flames for more than two hours before all of those lanes could reopen, and investigators say the fire did not damage any buildings. the state department sounded a rare warning, telling members of the lgbtq community to exercise caution while traveling overseas. >> the agency warned about what it described as the potential for terrorist attacks, demonstrations or other violent actions against u.s. citizens in tourist locations and pride celebrations. the warning comes just two weeks before the start of pride month, which is observed in june. >> frontier airlines says it will no longer charge fees for flight changes or cancellations. the change is part of an overhaul of the airline's longtime pricing model aimed at transparency. frontier says it will now present its for travel class options up front. the airline has been criticized for luring customers with low base fears, then adding fees for things like seat assignments and carry on luggage as well. >> the white house announced major changes to federal marijuana restrictions, and we're learning more about what

that could look like. so coming up next on the nine, we'll look at the reasons for the change. the biggest in federal drug policy in decades. then we'll swing back to san jose to give you an update on a developing story there. police shoot. and critically injure a man after responding to reports of a person firing a gun. we'll update the investigation and share how this is breathing claritin clear is like...

put your phone away. another note this is important. don't take pictures of other people without their permission. even when you're out in public. >> i think that's a common thing for younger generations to do. yeah, my niece does that. yeah. and when i talked to her about it once, she didn't understand what i was talking. she's like, what's the big deal? >> we're all at the supermarket. >> yeah, we're all at the park. and she was like, filming me and fitted me online. yeah. and it was surprising me. but to her it was like, not really that big a deal. she found it hard to understand. i hate, hate, i'm like, all right, well, maybe i'm maybe i'm maybe i'm a fuddy duddy. maybe. yeah. maybe i'm well, okay. >> so everyone's on their phone all the time, right? yeah. and the only good thing is the other day i went to the dmv to take care of some business. and people are waiting. they're a lot less aggravated because they're looking, i guess that's true, though. >> we all have our digital pacifiers. it's true because. >> yes. no, you're absolutely right, though. yeah. before going to the dmv was the worst, right. it's the cell phone's probably the greatest thing to happen to the people that work at the dmv because there's less

there's less aggravation being taken out on them by the time music, we're surfing, watching movies, while you're waiting, you know, because sometimes two year old magazines just won't cut it. you know, when you when you see them in the waiting lobby area. yeah. for sure. let's move on to this story. now. we've been following for some time now, several roads and parking lots near a san jose apartment complex remain closed this morning for an investigation. now, police shot and seriously injured a man accused of firing a gun on a public street. ktvu allie rasmus joins us live from the scene with an update. alyssa going off for nearly 24 hours now. >> yes, this is a scene that is still active more than 17 hours after it first began. we are at story road and south capitol avenue, and behind this apartment complex you see here in this alleyway, you can see two tow trucks. one of them has a van that we believe is connected to this police shooting that happened in this alleyway yesterday that's about to be towed into evidence. and closer to us in this driveway or alleyway is a covered police patrol car also connected to this shooting? now, we don't know the condition of the man who was shot by police in this

alleyway yesterday afternoon. he was rushed to the hospital. we're waiting to find out more from san jose police about the condition of that man right now, we can tell you that this all started at 4:00 yesterday afternoon. cell phone video shared with ktvu showed part of the police response yesterday. this video was taken by a person inside one of the apartments from a kitchen window overlooking that driveway. in it, you see several san jose police officers with their guns drawn, approaching a van that appears to have its back window shot out. there was no one in the van at this point. when this video was being taken. the driver's side door is wide open, and whoever had been inside had had already run out. but police came to this apartment complex around 4:00 yesterday afternoon after responding to a report. several people in the area called 911 to report a man here firing a gun. >> when officers arrived on scene, the suspect was still actively discharging a firearm, prompting an officer involved shooting. >> police say that's when they

fired at the man with the gun. seriously injuring him. neighbors describe what they saw and heard. >> at first we thought it was like a firecracker, but we didn't think much of it. and later we hear like two more gunshots and then that's when i looked out the kitchen window and i saw there was like a van with broken windows. later on, we hear another gunshot, and then we hear a guy screaming. so when the guy was screaming, it was like real really loud. like he was in pain. >> now we're waiting to get more specific information from san jose police about the chain of events here and how that van in that cell phone video from witnesses in the van that we can still see out here being loaded onto the tow truck here, is connected to this shooting. police are expected to hold a news conference with more information at 3:00 this afternoon at san jose police headquarters. live in san jose. allie rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> well, here's heads up if you're driving out of san francisco on the bay bridge this morning, be prepared to sit in traffic this is one of the

caltrans cameras just kind of showing the traffic. multiple cars are involved in a crash at about 830. a big rig also involved in this crash. the spacex says the drivers have some minor injuries. the fire department responded and they issued a sig alert for this, which means they don't think it's going to be cleared any time soon. so just as andre did the other day, use the san mateo bridge. chp hopes it's going to be able to get those cars towed and traffic back on its way very shortly. >> yeah, because you never know when it's going to clear up. so yeah, just go ahead and do the alternate route now. all right. now to this story a police search continues for the person who killed a homeless man in antioch on wednesday morning. the body of raheem coe was found on the sidewalk near the antioch health center on country hills drive. investigators believe the 48 year old was killed by blunt force trauma. people who knew coe say he had been on the streets for several years and was beloved by many in the community. >> he didn't deserve to die like that. although he was homeless, he was like he was like family,

you know? he's a good dude. >> i couldn't believe it. i never cried so much in my life. >> this marks antioch's fifth homicide of the year. police are asking anyone who may have dash cam video near the scene of the crime to give them a call. >> the federal judge who sentenced david depape, the man convicted of attacking the husband of congresswoman nancy pelosi, says she will reopen the sentencing portion of the case. the judge says she made an error by not giving the pap a chance to speak in court. on friday, depape was sentenced to 30 years in prison for the break in and attack. two years ago at pelosi's home in san francisco. now, the new sentencing date is may 28th. we want to continue our coverage now of what will likely be the biggest change in federal drug policy in more than half a century, the biden administration is reclassifying marijuana as a schedule three drug, down from a schedule one, meaning it has both medical benefits and some potential for abuse. >> let's learn more about the change that's coming by welcoming tamar todd, a marijuana law and professor policy at uc berkeley. thanks for being with us. >> thank you. thank you for

having me. >> of course, we should note that marijuana is still illegal at the federal level. what does this change, though, signify to you? >> well, it definitely signifies a big shift in the federal approach and attitude towards marijuana. the marijuana has been in schedule one since the controlled substances act passed 50 years ago, and this is the first significant move to reschedule it to properly schedule it. and the biden administration is the first one to take the initial steps towards addressing the criminalization of people for marijuana on the federal level and looking back and trying to undo some of the harm of our past drug policy. there's a still a long way to go. but this is the first administration to really take a proactive step in addressing these things, rather than just sort of tolerating what the states have done in departing from the federal approach, the president noted late last week. >> and i'll quote here, far too many lives have been upended because of our failed approach to marijuana. he said. he is committed to writing those

wrongs. what would you like to see? >> well, certainly i lod the initial step that he's taken, but it is a very, very initial step. i mean, he's moved to pardon people for the lowest level federal offenses, simple possession on federal property in the district of columbia. but really, there needs to be much broader reform for people who are currently charged and are currently incarcerated for marijuana related offenses, additional things. i mean, the federal marijuana penalties are in statute. they're in the federal controlled substances act. so changing those penalties really requires an act of congress. but there's still a number of significant things the biden administration could do beyond these initial steps, his initial pardon order doesn't apply to non-citizens. it doesn't apply to, some additional very low level marijuana offenses like possession with intent to distribute it, and it doesn't actually expunge records, which

is important because there are a lot of federal collateral consequences, things that harm people who have marijuana related convictions in terms of employment, public benefits, housing, educational loans, so i'd really like to see the administration take that additional step to relieve those federal collateral consequences for people who have existing marijuana convictions and to address, the several thousand people who are still incarcerated in federal prisons for nonviolent marijuana related convictions, that are, you know, for conduct that is occurring in every state through state regulatory laws, every day of the production and sale of marijuana. and there's still several thousand people in federal prison serving time for that same type of conduct. >> and let's look at specifically who is affected here. one analysis by the washington post found that black americans are arrested for violating marijuana possession laws at nearly four times the rates of white americans. what do you make of the racial

component to all this, well, certainly. i mean, if you look back at the very initial decision to place marijuana in schedule one and to criminalize people for marijuana use, those decisions were driven by politics and racial politics and racism more than they were ever based on science or reason, so even from the very beginning, but we've seen and there's been, you know, comprehensive data that's looked at every single county in every single state in the united states. and there are racial disparities in the enforcement of marijuana laws, that are consistent. lee. black people are arrested at a higher rate than white people, even though the use is similar, if not more, white people are using marijuana. so there's racial disparities across the board, those disparities drive, i think the efforts now to repeal these penalties and address some of that harm, but to really undo

it, we need to stop arresting people for these low level offenses. and we need to undo that harm by looking back and undoing state and federal marijuana convictions, undoing people's records. because there, you know, there's racism in that initial arrest and conviction. and then that discrimination carries forward when you use that conviction to deny someone housing, the ability to get a credit card, the ability to get a student loan, the ability to get a job, it compounds that initial, racist enforcement of the law, and permeates through all of our civil legal systems can truly be life altering on a very personal level, professor, we'll have to leave it here. >> professor tamar todd from uc berkeley, i appreciate your time and your insight. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. coming up on mornings on two. the nine a party with a purpose at lake merritt in oakland. what to expect from town up tuesday, and how the organizers are hoping to bring the community together and change some people's perception of oakland. also, let's take a
