interview. they were really excited about. she was in the passenger seat. the driver was her fiance. a shot rang out. and what was incredibly disturbing according to to the family the fiance didn't realize that his partner was shot. it was her little boy just five years old who noticed that his mother was slumped over and bleeding. >> the 5 year-old actually saw it. and he asked me he said as soon as he walked in the door. he asked me have you ever seen anybody die? i didn't really respond. he said mommy had blood on her and the police say asked me questions. >> how do you explain the unexplainable to two little boys. struggling to find the words. her son, his fiance and her two

boys were in the suv this morning. a little after 9:00 a.m. heading to san francisco for a job interview. she was in the passenger seat. according to chp, someone fired at the car. as it was heading towards the bay bridge toll plaza. >> he heard the shot. and he didn't even know she was hit. the boy said, what happened to mom? the oldest one. and my son looked and that was when he noticed she was gone. blood everywhere. >> the shooting was completely random. and reminiscent to the death of the jasper woo. shot when his family was driving in oakland earlier in month. >> he wasn't even two. >> she was 28 years old. and was living in antioch. working to provide for her boys. >> she was doing the intsa cart thing. and worked and tried to keep

herself going. >> the only way i think that it can be solved is if the public gets involved. somebody saw something. somebody. come on. it was in the morning. >> you heard from miss judy. detectives are investigating. if you were heading from oakland to san francisco on the bay bridge around 9:00 a.m. this morning, and you saw something chl maybe you have dash cam video. police want to hear from you. >> thank you. according to chp there have been 75 highway shootings including today. in alameda county this year alone. the most recent deadly shooting was of baby jasper woo. stray bullet hit and killed the toddler three weeks ago. his funeral is tomorrow. $10,000 reward offered to anyone who helps track down the killer.

what happened. they witness told police two suspects were involved and officers were able to recover a gun. that car in the parking lot that belongs to a shop owner. you can see it. it was riddled with bullets. police say they'll know more once they are able to talk to the victim. after he recovers from his wounds. okay, talk about a poorly planned prank. that's what police are calling the abduction of a 15 year-old girl. and the alleged abduction ended up triggers an amber alert. she was taken by her boyfriend. and his friends just as a joke. outside of a station here. they were headed on a road trip down to los angeles. this surveillance video from the station, they saw the teens standing with family members near the corner. around 1:30 p.m. when a man in an orange shirt ran across the parking lot. grabbed the girl. put her in the vehicle. and took off.

once the girl was in the car. she realized she was actually with her friends. and that nothing bad happened. >> fortunately, the female juvenile returned home. safe. detectives spoke with her and learned this is not a case of child abduction. rather a poorly planned prank. >> so now it's unclear if any charges will be filed. related to this fake abduction. >> dramatic and very personal testimony in the trial of elizabeth holmes. the jury heard from patients who were given inaccurate diagnosis by the machines and her heard on tape from holmes herself. let's head over live to downtown san jose. scott has been in court. every day of the trial. there was a lot to take in. how did the courtroom react? >> good question. they were quiet and really listening intently.

especially when elizabeth came on tape. and given they had just heard from a couple of witnesses who testified that they had been given the wrong information by the machine. it was a day of powerful testimony. >> the prosecution started the day focussed on faulty testing machines. first testimony from erin of arizona. who was told by a test that she had hiv antibodies. only to find out later, the test was wrong. >> another witness doctor burns talked about one of his patients who took a test. that wrongly detected prostate cancer. the jury listened intently. >> this is going to resonate far more with the jury. than sad tales of billionaires who lost a couple hundred million dollars investing in a company. >> then journalist who wrote this fortunate magazine cover

story. the jury heard recorded interviews between them. speaking with the distinctive deep voice. the interviews could create a problem if holmes chooses to take the stand in her own defense. >> i think it's a very dangerous gam bet. on behalf of the defense. if the jury is sitting there and see such a duality. between holmes the persona as the start up cofounder and the person. that's very close to seeing someone as fraud. >> i should mention that three months into the trial the prosecution now says it is on the verge of wrapping up their side of the case. which means the defense soon gets to take over. which means we will soon get an answer to the question i have been asked 5,000 times. will she testify. we'll be back in court tomorrow morning. >> that's what people have been

wondering. scott has been following the story from the beginning. follow him on twitter. you can get live updates from inside the courtroom. as well as other business and tech news. his twitter handle is @scott budman. >> golden gate bridge outside looks beautiful. it is a lot cooler than it was. temperatures are bit down today. and now we're tracking showers as well. chief meteorologist joining us. with some of the changes that are happening. sunshine today to quite chilly. >> such a big stark contrast. you can see the satellite and radar. that storm system is arriving. there's not a lot of moisture back out here. we'll get you into storm ranger. we're getting a few showers now developing moving off towards the east. then picking up showers over martinez. and concord at 5:43. later on tonight, we'll see a second batch here. rainfall develops around. and that would bring in more shower chances.
