talking about going on for 13-year-old javan clark. he was shot on 61st avenue. a friend called to ask for help getting gas. javan and his brother went to help. relatives are saying that it was a setup. the whole thing was set up to get javan out of the house so he could be shot. he died a few blocks from the middle school where he was a track star. on monday he was supposed to start school at skyline high. wednesday he would have turned 14. that's not gonna happen now, obviously. shootings out here are not unusual and some young folks say it's just a tough place to live. >> hard times out here, that's all. i just gotta watch over myself and pray to god that i can live another day. >> chilling words from a young person. the backdrop on all this is hours before javan was killed, oakland police union issued a statement saying that crime is up since the city laid off 80 police officers last month to

bridge a $40 million deficit. a union rep says he's not trying to say that more police mean fewer homicides, but city councilman if a went tease is saying it's nothing more than square tactics to get 80 officers rehired. right now a war of words going on. the main point of this story, that police are looking for people who help them with the killing that took place wednesday night about 9:30 on bancroft near 61st. if you have anything, oakland p. d. would love to hear from you. live in oakland, terry mcsweeney, abc 7 news. >> 5:02 now. this morning a local school district is joining the move meant to defeat a state ballot measure that would legalize the recreational use of marijuana and district officials hope other school administrations will join them. theresa garcia is live at the san mateo union high school district headquarters. >> it is not common to hear that school districts get political

here and take some action but this is really taking a turn here. you've got one local school district saying we're going to take a stand against the ballot measure asking californians to legalize pot use. they're not at our schools, taking a stand and want others statewide to join them. san mateo union high school board members met to discuss whether to form an official opinion about proposition 19. that's the november ballot measure which aims to legalize adult recreational use of pot. at the heart of the discussion was whether it would hurt students, staff and schools. one trustee was worried if it passless people can start growing pot inside their homes which may be near a school. marijuana proponents don't believe growing the plants for personal use will harm students. >> definitely not something to be concerned about. it's like any other plant. it's not some kind of dangerous thing that's going to cause a problem in the neighborhood. >> this is not a tomato. it's a drug.

there's a big difference. >> well, school board trustees worry that unlike alcohol there's no way to measure how high someone is at work and anyone over 21 could legally have an ounce of pot in their possession. it's possible federal funding could be in jeopardy if a staffer brings pot to work. because that's a violation of the act. prop 19 has certain rules written in which would lawfully protect any use or association for people under 18, the recreational use of it. but now that san mateo has taken some action, you've got west contra costa school district joining in. their board is now going to review this resolution as well. live in san mateo, theresa garcia, abc 7 news. >> thank you. in san francisco a city commission will discuss a recreation inform little pot growers. the oversight committee says the public health department has a list of medical marijuana
