one is dead at the hands of police. a third suspect in custody. we'll have details coming up in a live report. >> here, we are looking at the sunrise. it comes over the east bay hills from sutro tower in san francisco. notice a few low clouds. high pressure is bringing the marine layer back. i'm expecting a lot of sunshine and dry weather throughout the forecast. an update coming your way. >> almost accident-free this morning. we have enjoyed a quiet and easy commute. live on the bay bridge toll plaza. absolutely delay-free. good morning, everyone. it's thursday, 6:00 a.m. thank you for joining us. no rain out there to be found. isn't that cool? i'm eric thomas. >> i'm kristen sze. topping our news right now, oakland police have a neighborhood blocked off after officers shot two suspect suspects late last night. abc7's terry mcsweeney is live at the scene with the latest. >> this incident happened 10:30 last night, at least that is when it began. onward lane looking to -- on ward lane, to curan avenue.

the investigation continues. the media is kept back a good 100 yards from where the shooting took place. look at the pictures from the aftermath of the shooting. 10:30 last night, oakland police and reportedly drug enforcement agents were out here involved in an operation, not commenting on that. two oakland police officers opened fire, killing one man. gravely wounding a second man. who was taken to the alameda county hospital. again in grave condition. the oakland swat team was called out. a couple of hours later, 12:30 this morning, a third suspect was found. he was hiding under a tree in the backyard of the house where the shooting took place. in the backyard of a house, where according to police a number of weapons were recovered. one weapon was recovered on the roof of the building down there on curan avenue. oakland p.d. not explaining the operation. not really even confirming that drug enforcement agents were involved in this. they do say one person is dead. one wounded. a third suspect in custody this morning. live in oakland, terry mcsweeney, abc7 news.

>> terry, thank you very much. just about 6:02. an autopsy on a man found buried in his backyard in february has not determined what killed him. novato police tell abc7 news they can't rule out homicide in the death of 74-year-old dale smith. investigators searched smith's home and eventually found his body under a barbecue pit. attorney for his wife said he died of natural clauses. they said the autopsy didn't show obvious sign of trauma and the toxicology report didn't detect poisoning. >> there are new signs that the separation of governor schwarzenegger and his wife maria shriver will be permanent. "people" magazine is reporting that shriver hired a los angeles divorce lawyer. she hired the attorney after arnold schwarzenegger revealed he had an affair and a child with former family employee mildred patricia baena. baena who retired in january lives in the four-bedroom house in bakersfield with her four children including the now 13-year-old boy

fathered by the former governor. the "new york times" reports that schwarzenegger, himself, made the $50,000 down payment for the house. the scandal not only led to schwarzenegger's resignation but may lead to other scandals. gloria allred is going to represent an actress who says she had annual trips with schwarzenegger to body build building event in ohio. u.c. students may be warned they may have higher tuition if the governor's plan doesn't pan out. the in-state tuition may climb 32% for the 2012 year. if the university system has to cut $1 billion from the budget. that increase would mean the california residents would pay nearly $14,700 in annual tuition. which doesn't even include

room, board and campus fees. a major engineering feat this morning, as the final piece of the massive new bay bridge tower is put in place. the crowning glory, if you will, that serves an important function. abc7's amy hollyfield is live on treasure island to show us what is going on. amy? >> reporter: eric, this will complete the tower. can you imagine if that was your office today? they will be working 500 feet above the water today. taking on a project so enormous, it will make history. this is such a big undertaking, they held a dress rehearsal last month. caltrans officials shot video of their team practicing. lifting the 960,000-pound, bridge cable saddle. they will move it in place for real today. it will sit on top of the bay bridge's single anchor suspension tower. the cable saddle is the largest one in the world. so it will go in history book and carry the bridge mile-long, single loop cable over the top of the tower.
