respected officer. in fact, he was the first person on the scene when an officer was shot in 2005 and was instrumental in catching that officer's killer. now, the officer's wife is a dispatcher at the san leandro police department. she has also been placed on administrative leave, but we are told that she does not face any criminal charges. now, the officer, again, appeared in court, had a very brief court appearance today. his bail bondsman was here and he was expected to boast bapost. reporting live in san leandro, jodi hernandez. a frightening sight at this mcdonald's, surveillance video showed two bloodied men staggering into the restaurant following a freeway shooting. police say the shooting happened

the canucks have taken only three. the shashs have taken 11 penalties in this series, saying no way san jose can win if they're spending all that time on the penalty keel. then the captain saying this game three has to be treated like a game seven. at hp pavilion, i'm brody brazil. now back to the studio. thank you. next at 5:00, is the end really near? a bay area minister seems to think so. up next, the prophecy and the profit. how people are trying to make a buck off the end of the world prediction. and how much are you paying for your iphone bill? some lawyers are saying at&t could be guilty of overcharging. >> reporter: and good afternoon, i'm chief meteorologist jeff ranieri live in san mateo where appropriately we have some fair weather out here today for a one of a kind unique fair where you can channel your inner geek. we'll explain all the details and have more with theses guy m
