life-threatening. police found several cars with bullet holes in them and 30 shell casings in the area. more violence in oakland over the weekend. three people died in separate shootings, including a 16-year-old boy who was shot as he stood outside a house in 9300 block of sunny side street. oakland has had 70 homicides so far this year, compared to 52 homicides for the same period of last year. house and senate are expected to vote today on a deal that president obama and congressional leaders reached to avoid the nation's first ever financial default. right now, lawmakers are reviewing the deal that calls for raising the government borrowing power through the 2012 election in exchange for more than $2 trillion in spending cuts. abc's scott goldberg has the latest. >> reporter: the deal is done. now, president obama is trying to calm america's nerves and the world's financial markets saying it's time to vote. >> it will allow us to avoid default and end the crisis that washington imposed on the rest of america.

>> asian stock markets liked the news. but with less than two days before the united states risks a default that so many say would be catastrophic, it's not clear congress can pass this deal. >> you're pleased with this, right? >> speaker john boehner spent last night trying to reassure republicans they won and should vote yes. the deal includes no tax increases and raises the debt ceiling up to $2.4 trillion enough to last beyond the 2012 presidential election. there will be $1.2 trillion in spending cuts over ten years. then, a special congressional committee will come up with another $1.5 trillion in deficit reduction measures. if congress can't pass that committee's recommendations, spending cuts kick in automatically, targeting mostly medicare and defense. >> both parties gave more ground than they wanted to. neither side got as much as it had hoped but that is the essence of compromise. >> the united states of america will not for the

first time in our history default on its obligations. >> reporter: but some member of the tea party say the deal doesn't go far enough and one democratic member of the house called the deal a satan sand witch. so they're both counting the vote. 4:34 now. the compromise could have a big impact on california and other states struggling to recover from the recession. lawmakers from both parties discussed the need to control discretionary spending which could include wide-ranging cuts in federal aid to states. bay area congresswoman barbara lee is concerned there could be major fall-out. >> i don't know where the cuts will take place and who will get hurt. obviously if you are talk about discretionary spending, it's the poor, low-income individuals, working poor and middle income people. >> lawmakers say federal funding for everything from head start to meals op wheels to transit agencies and education grants could
