just feel her positive energy here on a friday. i'm nicole zaloumis. >> okay. so it is going to be a positive energy morning -- but a breaking news story on the record here. because we know many of you in san jose are waking up to this scene. so we've been trying to get the information you need to get out and about. in your morning. so we understand it was a police-involved shooting that happened on san ignacio avenue in the city's santa teresa neighborhood. about 10:30 last night. it looks like traffic is up and running a little bit in that area. but you see there all of the response from police officers say the first officer came responding to some sort of a disturbance. when a suspect just pulled a gun and opened fire. and hit them. one officer has moderate injuries. he was treated and released from to a hospital. a second officer has life-threatening injuries. the officer in stable but critical condition. the suspect also shot and ran to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.

so for more on the street closures in the area, we're going to check in with gianna franco. gianna, we're seeing so much response there. yeah, there's a lot of activity happening in and around there. so that means probably best if you are commuting and getting up early through the south bay to avoid the area if you can. the exact closure is the avenue both directions from bernal to great oaks boulevard. and then on bernal itself, westbound from monterey road to san ignacio avenue. a pretty large area through there. monterey road itself is open. you can likely use that as an alternate route. also the boulevard would work as well. not too far from there, there's a shopping center where a lot of people might be you know, utilizing that area in the morning. but again, try to avoid that area if you can. thankfully it's friday so that will certainly help with traffic congestion in and around there. now taking a look at the roadway right now. if you are head out the door on any one of the major freeways, we are getting word of some pretty windy conditions for commuters heading into the altamont pass this morning. so just be extra cautious especially if oratorialing

those larger more high-profile vehicles and you might really feel it as you are traveling along 580. let's get a look at the forecast. jess, so happy it's the weekend. but not so happy knowing that saturday might be a bit of a bummer when it comes to the weather. >> just sleep in. just sleep through the whole storm system. wake up around 3:00, 4:00 tomorrow and then suddenly it's going to be okay. i was joking about that. yes, we have rain in the forecast tomorrow and these cloud just above me over the santa clara valley this morning are kind of teeing us as we gear up for some rain right around the corner but the temperatures today are still warm. we're talking about 70s down into the santa clara valley. 60s once against near redwood city and along the peninsula up into san francisco. a little bit cooler today. closer to half-moon bay and the upper 50s and interestingly enough all of us are going to be in the upper 50s and lower 60s as we gear up for this cold front that's going to move its way in tomorrow. this is what it's looking like for us for our weather headlines. waking up to a little bit of mix of sun and clouds already this morning. we're going to continue the see that trend into the afternoon. it's still a mild day for us for our friday forecast. happy friday by the

way. once we head into saturday, suddenly we're talking act heavy rain especially in the morning hours and especially up in the north bay first. this storm system moves in if the north to the south and as we take a quick look at what's happening for us heading into tomorrow evening it starts to dry up because by sunday we're talkingn't dry conditions and a gradual warming trend into next week. really isolated day i vent. gearing up for the storm that's building its way in from offshore, time this storm out for you coming up in just a bit. so you know your local communities how long it's going to happen and of course how much rain we're going to get too and that storm luckily moves out sunday with drier conditions right around the corner. g? i'll take it from here, thanks jess. livermore police are searching for a double homicide suspect investigators say 30-year-old yonston vazquez shot and killed a man and a woman inside a hotel room saturday at the la quinta inn on south front road. the identities of victims vice president been released yet. but police believe vazquez knew one of them. the former captain of the dive boat that caught fire and

killed 34 people was sentenced to four years in prison for neglect as ship officer. fire on the conception happened back in 2019 off the coast of santa barbara. investigators found captain jerry boylan never conducted fire drills prior to the disaster. and that he also failed to use any fire fighting equipment during the fire. and he was the first crew member to abandon ship. closer to home here in san francisco, it appears a fire damaged a historic building in the city's nob hill neighborhood. was an accident. we first brought you this story as breaking news yesterday morning. and you can see the flames shooting out of the three story building near the corner of jackson and leaven worth streets. luckily, no one was hurt. well, this morning we continue following major developing news on campuses that are really reaching a boiling appointment over the war in gaza. this morning word of a fight breaking out on the campus of uc berkeley. amanda hari is there.

>> getting very close to me -- can you please step out? >> hey, hey. [ screaming ] >> reporter: video of the moment a fight broke out on uc berkeley's campus. the woman who shot this video who wants to remain anonymous said in a statement to cbs news bay area that she was with a group of pro israel students, standing across from the sproul plaza with an israeli flag. she says someone grabbed their flag and it led to this fight. she said the incident was terrifying and that some protesters followed their group until they reached the police station. hamza mahmoud with uc berkeley's divest coalition is part of the camp site. he was there and said the interaction was small. and the person who grabbed the israeli flag was not from the protest. >> we mostly didn't engage. we had one person who i have never seen at the camp. none of us knew and we're not sure who the person is who just grabbed a flag. >> reporter: he says the injuries that happened in the

scuffle are small compared to what's happening in gaza. >> bloody nose and one of our protesters got punched in the eye. 40,000 people have been killed. their people -- we are seeing on our phones people -- limbs are gone. so again, like i want to reemphasize this is not about us. >> reporter: he says with finals and summer break looming, there's no timeline for how long the camp will stay at sproul plaza and they're taking things day-by-day. mahmoud says they're going to continue to demand that uc divest from israel, but the university has put out a statement that the university as a whole will not do that and the university's stance on the encampment hasn't changed. >> amanda hari there. despite the fight no arrests but the university says they have increased security for anybody on campus who feels unsafe and in fact they tell us an escort service is available for students who need to have somebody help them navigate and feel unsafe. so no arrests from

berkeley but on 30 other college campuses 2,000 protesters arrested as police move through and flatten the encampments can they're clashing with protesters here and there. watch this scene down south at ucla. >> get back. get back. >> get back. get back. and the sound of those rubber bullets and that's riot police at ucla firing those during a nine hour standoff. down south in the end, 200 protesters arrested and in fact, journalists caught in the fray and our own kara finnstrom was there rushed and by the crowd and at end of the clip actually see protesters set off flash bangs. watch. >> reporter: so -- some of the clashes hearing some of the very loud -- flash badges as officers are clearing. now you can see some of these protesters moving birds into the street. trying to create some obstruction for the officers. >> wow. we are seeing lawmakers on the federal and local level

responding. in fact, republican lawmakers at our state capitol doing what their colleagues in washington did yesterday. and also what president joe biden echoed yesterday and that's calling for strict action against protesters that threaten people or break the law. even deeper, california lawmakers want students found guilty of committing violent acts during protests to lose their grant money that pays for their education. and they also want administrator who participate or facilitate and don't respond with action to lose their state funding. listen. >> i think what the president said was exactly right. you don't get to destroy property and you don't get to commit criminal acts on campus. no, that's not free speech. >> so this morning, governor gavin newsom has deployed state law enforcement to college campuses and we're watching this closely and especially going into the weekend. for updates stay with kpix.com when we're not on air and also cbs 24/7 offering continuing coverage here in the bay and across the nation. gianna? time right now 6:10. still ahead, solving the affordable housing issue in a south bay

retail shops face around the bay area, theresa is excited to start this new chapter. >> i think it's just human nature to be intrigued to something that is shiny and pretty. i don't think it necessarily even matters if you believe in the spiritual or the metaphysical. >> reporter: a charge to give off good energy to the neighborhood and the economy, one store front at a time. >> well, grand opening today at noon and you can find them located along the paseo desan antonio in downtown san jose. i love all of the good energy. >> did you see the heart crystal and. >> so beautiful. let's take live look at oakland now where later tonight, the city's koa know district will be buzzing and i know that doesn't say good morning and happy friday and beautiful day. look at the mountain just the peeking through of the clouds with the sun. i mean, that -- it looks like -- >> oh. >> oil painting. yes. >> i love it. well, tonight's festival will only be the second first friday of the year. after organizers were forced to cancel prior ones due

see that rain start up in the north bay. and slowly sweep its way down to the south bay into the afternoon hours. this is just by 6:00 a.m. santa rosa, stretching all the way up into clearlake already getting hit with moderate rain at this point. let's advance the clock all the way into the 9:00 hour. notice how an area -- excuse me areas like fairfield stretching all the way down into santa cruz are now getting hit with some significant rain and that yellow and orange color. heavy pacts of rain at times will happen as this continues to sweep down into the santa clara valley. just by lunchtime. so this storm is going to be early morning to afternoon storm. as it continues to sweep off into the east, clearing up on the back end. we're going to see drier skies into overnight hours for saturday and by sunday it's sunny as can be. in the sierra though also impacted by the storm with plenty of snow for them in that region. how much rain back here in the bay area? close to anism. areas like pacifica into pleasanton and pretty impressive numbers for us no matter what you live. but

let's drop that and talk about the next seven days. right around the corner after the cold front moves through we have sunny skies into the sunday forecast and a mix of sun and clouds to kick off early next week as we slowly warm up from the 60s to 70s to 80s. we'll have more on that in a bit. for now over to you, g. the friday light conditions out there. good news for anyone commuting towards the bay bridge this morning. metering lights are on but we're not seeing a big back up at all and in fact that's really the headlines this morning. as you take our bay area bridges. it is pretty quiet and calm. live look here just a few cars right at that parking lot but overall, an yea ride into san francisco. it's the weekend after all. and if you are headed southbound 880 paseo grande, that's getting a little bit crowded there heading down through there. you have got brake lights hayward over towards the san mateo bridge so do keep that in mind but once you are on bridge itself not bad heading over to 101. got the early flight to catch maybe through oakland you are good to go. trying to get to sfo, 101 is clear in both directions and the only hotspot really we're seeing are the area as you head south 880 through hayward and we have

couple of things going on in the south bay as well on surface streets. in the altamont pass though, it's pretty slow. supercommuters pretty typical as you head through there and any weekday rather and it is windy also. so if you are traveling in a larger more high-profile vehicle, be extra careful as you work your way through there. time right now 6:20. coming up, we are celebrating chinese american royalty this morning. the woman who brock barriers more than three quarters ofcentury ago. to the top of salesforce tower and look at that. beautiful sunrise and the rays of the sun shining down on bay area. what this just stopping root now and looking at that image do for you? what does it inspire in your day? maybe think about that today. 6:22 in the morning. we're grateful

time now for the money watch report. the government has just released the april employment report. u.s. employers scaled back their hiring during april. this added 175,000 jobs in the

face of higher borrowing rates. cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger joins us from new york with the numbers. jill, good morning to you. so what were the april results? >> reporter: so as you said, a bit of a pull back. 175,000 jobs added. and added is the important part. we didn't lose jobs. but this is lower than let's say around 250,000 that we've seen over the last few months. and over the last year. i think what's important here is that you are going to hear oh, this was disappointment and it was a miss. but it's actually what the federal reserve wants. they want the job market to cool down just a little bit so that wage growth starts to cool. and then inflation cools. so i think the fed is going to be very happy with this. and by the way the unemployment rate held steady at 3.9%. we've been at 3.7 bank account to 3.9% for almost a year, not a lot of movement there. >> all right, you brought up the word inflation here. a lot of consumers concerned about it. which remains high. are

wages keeping up with these price increases? >> reporter: they actually are. you know, overall, wages were up 3.9% from a year ago. that's still ahead of the inflation rate. 3.5%. but again, if you are looking at this like what the fed really wants and what we're hoping for the economy, about inflation, we want wage growth to come down and for inflation to come down. it's almost like the fed would be happier if wages go up by say 3.5%. but inflation goes down below 3%. they'd be very happy with that outcome. >> jill, the federal reserve met this week. they decided to keep a benchmark interest rate at a 23 year high. was there any clue about when they may start cutting rates? >> reporter: you know, it's like -- everybody wants chairman powell to be like okay it's going to happen on this day. he's not going to say that. he keeps saying that inflation is higher than officials would like and even though that's the case they're very unlikely to raise interest

rates. they will probably start lowering rates later in the year. and again, if we keep seeing the job market slow down, and wage growth slow down, i think it is possible that we see inflation come down and then we're on track two have a few rate cuts by end of the year, for now right this second rates are high i get it and bad news for borrowers but hey savers take advantage of the high rates in the money market accounts or cds. because they will not be at this level for the entirety of the year, they will come down i think. >> all right, thank you jill. we appreciate it. and you can see jill regularly on "cbs mornings" and the cbs "evening news" with norah o'donnell. for more analysis go to jillonmoney.com. time now for a look at what's coming up later on "cbs mornings." jericka duncan joins us live from new york. good morning to you. >> good morning nicole. coming up on "cbs mornings," despite

scrutiny over the safety of its aircraft, boeing is just days away from launching the first ever crewed flight of its starliner spacecraft. mark strassmann talks with the nasa astronauts who will be on board. also, you remember mark summers right? he was the host of the classic kids game show double dare. i watched it all the time. nate saturday down with him for a revealing conversation about hi amazing career. and we should all be able to end this week with a little cadeness. steve hartman gives us a lesson in leadership and introduces us to a teenager who shows us how to lead with compassion. it's a tear jerker. we'll seal you at 7:00. >> all right, thanks. reed? is a queen. you just watch. one of biggest stars in broadcasting you just wait and see. now to one of the california's biggest challenges. building enough affordable housing to really make sure everybody has a roof over their head. you know, conventional wisdom is building single families but isn't going to cut it anymore. in

fact the community of los gatos is trying something new because of this but there's always a counterpoint. residents aren't exactly thrilled and devin fehely went there to find out why. >> i'm more concerned about the height that's being proposed at seven stories, that's pretty tall and out of character for the town of los gatos. >> reporter: jeff fox says the high-rise apartment complex would tower over his house, and neighborhood, and offer a birdseye view directly into his backyard, leaving him no privacy whatsoever. >> i believe in more housing and i believe we should have more affordable housing, but i also believe we should try to preserve the character of our neighborhoods. >> reporter: fox has lived in the quiet los gatos neighborhood for 25 years and he and many of his neighbors are deeply concerned about the plans to build a seven story apartment complex on the backside of their homes. according to the application submitted to the town in march, the complex would have 238 apartments. 47 of which would be affordable. or 20%. >> i'm really concerned about

the privacy for the neighbors on -- this side of the street. >> reporter: carlene schoenberg has lived on benedict lane for 51 years. loves its tree-lined streets and single family homes. and fears that all of that charm will be dwarfed by the giant complex if it's built. >> i think it's a little massive considering that this is supposed to be a town and not a major city. >> reporter: the developer, green valley corporation, submitted its application under senate bill 330, which streamlines the approval process for new housing statewide if a project already meets the city's zoning and design regulations. neighbors fear that's going to tie the town council's hands, forcing them to green light a project that would literally overshadow the homes they have lived in for decades. >> it's one thing to be three stories and four stories. like they built in campbell. but seven stories? is -- is -- you know, just way too high.

>> devin fehely there. we ted reach out to the mayor and sent you us an email declining comment p o this issue. police changing their tune in san jose on a tradition in the south bay. >> this year, they'll be cruising with low riders during sunday's parade and last year the department helped close highway on ramps which made it hard for people to join in on the festivities. this year san jose police will be rolling out in their own low rider. which is a far cry from the city's decades long ban on low riding that they lifted last year. 300 vehicles are expected to participate in this weekend's low rider parade. and now taking a live look from san leandro where celebrations start tonight. the annual celebration will be held at the marina community center on wicks boulevard. the family event will feature mariachi music and performances by the ballet folkloreio and the fun starts at 6:00 p.m.

well, the late rains this year allowed people to enjoy spring flowers and for weeks after the typical peak in early april. jess, there's one spot in california that is famous for its colorful carpet of wildflowers. >> absolutely. we are talking about the carrizo plain national monument in eastern san luis obispo county. now brian hackney actually took us there last year for the superbloom and he got back on the road to see how this year's blooms are shaping up. >> reporter: it's the home of the most natural california blooms. carrizo plain national monument. and quite a trip. >> people had never come. >> reporter: are you not a flower man? >> oh. i'm -- more than -- it's just that i have -- not gotten here. >> reporter: they are from the south bay. and they found the perfect place for a picnic on

overlook hill. which is overlooking soda lake filled to the brim by winter rains a good excuse for a flower fest feast. >> minnesota winter saucen and a hungarian sausage and then i have some sausage from minnesota. >> reporter: you have been coming for how long. >> about 20 year or so. i used to come here all the time for birding in the winter. >> reporter: of course, every year is different. >> the grasses have gotten really high. the smaller flowers are a little harder to see. but all you have to do is get out of the car and take a walk on one of the trails and you can get up close to everything. >> reporter: the bloom may not be quite as robust as last year's. >> this year they seem to be sort of staging so you get one kind of flower and then another. so there's not just this sweep of orange up to yellow. >> reporter: but as the park service says, the closer you look, the more you will see. >> so it's still a beautiful place. and i don't remember the lake being this full of

water. the reflections are just stunning. and the colors are still good. and we've seen almost every flower i was looking for. so. >> reporter: you are good. >> i'm happy. >> reporter: so was he. >> i love coming up to stuff like this. just that i had never gotten down here and it's pretty valid because it is gorgeous. >> reporter: but showing for a limited time only before even the best blooms get baked in the late spring sun of the plain. >> now the last three superbloom years were in 2017, 2019, and 2023. and last year, that area got more than 15 inches of rain. so far this year, it's less than 10 inches. but still, rain showers are in the forecast not only for us here in the bay area, but for that region this weekend. better yet let's start off here in the bay area. liter this afternoon just like yesterday we're going to continue to warm up in the 70s. near san jose with upper 60s

today near redwood city. more north we go the cooler it gets at least into san francisco. 66 today but let's take san jose as an example and i'm going to remove the map and show you this cold front that's moving in is definitely packing its punch with cooler weather. about 15-degree difference as we head into our setup tomorrow just into the santa clara valley. the big reason why of course is that huge rainstorm is on its way. going to impact a lot of us as we wake up early tomorrow morning and lasting in the afternoon hours too. so today aics mix of sun and clouds in the forecast for us. a little breezy in the coastline this afternoon and the clouds heavier in the overnight hours tonight. here's what's happening in the forecast tomorrow. that rain moves in just up into the north bay near santa rosa and into the 6:00 a.m. hour. continue to watch that sweep to the south. san francisco getting hit all throughout the morning commute or at least it's saturday so there's not too much of a commute. but out there on the roads take it slow because here we go down into the santa clara valley. lasting into the afternoon hours. we'll watch that moderate to heavy rain still fall in those local

communities. now that stretches all the way off into the east as we head into the afternoon and evening hours on saturday. bringing in snow to the sierra and drying up on the back end for us here in the bay area. but it's worth noting how much rain we're expecting to see. close to around an inch into communities like pacifica and close to an inch all the way up entameson and about a half inch the more east we go closer to the sacramento valley but still a very impressive storm that's right around the corner for us. so let take a look at the next seven days. how long is the storm going to last? now we know. it's only a saturday event. because on the back end sunday sunshine in the forecast but look at those daytime highs. low 60s still holding on tight to us until tuesday then it's low 70s and then it's suddenly we continue to warm up as high pressure builds in. bringing in upper 80s, close to the 90s as early as next thursday. so a big warm-up as we head into next week. we have to get through the rainy saturday first. g? i know but you know at least you can get today to enjoy and then sunday. just one day everyone and right now the feats aren't doing too bad. i know a little bit busier here

at the bay bridge. the metering lights are on and we're starting to see just a little bit of backup here. maybe beyond the overcrossing at this point. so starting to certainly slow down just a little bit for the commute as you ed into the city. but little later start the metering lights not turned on until after 6:00 this morning. south 880 pretty stacked up near paseo grande, looking bet score it's improved quite a quite from the last 15, 20 minutes. unfortunately things are slow westbound on the san mateo bridge between 8830 and that hayward ride over toward the peninsula. starting to bog down a little bit. basalt bay commuters taking north 101 hellyer to sfo. not bad. highway 4 though westbound 580, all showing yellow. it's slow but it's not really too bad. it's kind of what you would usually expect on a friday morning commute. reed? all right, thanks g. time right now 6:55. crossing guard? unit

all right, coming back now in tennessee, one small town crossing guard having big impacts just being himself. on his community. >> yeah, his name is len zo thompson and he's been a crossing guard for rutherford county for schools for 20 years.

>> his impressive fashion and his kindness. >> thank you sir. >> wow. >> yeah. birthdays and holidays so what he's wearing here is in connection with somebody's birthday i believe. but he finds a special outfit to wear for every special occasion. and he does it while on duty and all to connect people and say let's have a light heart and some joy. >> you know i appreciate a job until you actually do the job. the crossing guard people getlot of bad rap but it's a hard job to do. >> even the rutherford county sheriff's office has made a habit of greeting him in the morning. the sheriff's office says whether it's hot, cold or raining, he is at work with a smile on his face. it can be and a thankless job. but he makes waiting in line every morning fun and this shows what you kindness can cofor community. i just have to say wow. how sweet and just the fashion and how cute he looks every day. >> i don't know why he's limiting himself to birthdays

and wearing that. >> he humbles me though. a hard thing and come to work and you talk about those things and you drag your co-workers down and i'm guilty of it and we're all guilty of it but these the converse of it really. he shows that in our work spaces, we can come and be positive and lift people up. i want to be more like that. >> i do too. all right, well, coming up at 7:00 on pix+ 44 cable 12 a look at the challenges with fighting fires and densely populated san francisco. we're going to talk live with a fire captain who's had firsthand experience. the biden administration moves to extend obamacare to undocumented immigrants known as dreamers. the number of people who could soon have ♪ welcome to "cbs mornings" and hello to our viewers on the west coast. i'm nate burleson. >> i'm vlad duthiers. >> and i'm jericka duncan. >> gayle and tony are off, but we've got you on this friday. here's today's "eye opener." it's your world in 90 seconds.
