webb wb and the app. big news on rising covid cases. officials in alameda county say it's time once again to put the masks back on. they are restating that indoor mask mandate. know you have to pack a mask if you're going to that county. daily covid cases have exceeded last summer's delta wave peak. and more cause for concern, covid hospitalizations in the county have more than doubled in the last month. the mask requirement is going to apply to most indoor public settings. that includes grocery stores, businesses, and gyms. but it does not include students and staff at k through 12 schools. minute ago, ac transit announced masks will also be required for their passengers. more on new masking rules coming up at 5:30, including whether other bay area counties might follow suit. still ahead on kpix 5 streaming on cbs news bay area, just moments ago, president biden's passionate plea for tougher gun laws. how he is putting the pressure on congress to act. plus, the mayor of san

problem. >> we've had really productive discussions. our goal is to get a piece of legislation that saves lives. >> something to keep in mind. the full house could vote on the measures next week. but even if it passes there, it's unlikely to get the buy-in needed in an evenly divided senate to become law. on the senate side, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have discussed background checks, red flag laws, safe schools and the things we heard the president talk about tonight down in texas, where a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers. in uvalde, governor greg abbott is calling for the creation of special committees to address not only school security but firearm safety as well. >> a lot of people voicing their frustration on both sides of the aisle. we'll see if something gets done. we appreciate your reporting. all that happens in our nation's capital we have new information tonight about the law enforcement response to that mass shooting in uvalde, texas. the texas state senator says the

ongoing pain following the surgery. >> well, for being a healer in our community, dr. phillips died in that shooting. the other three victims include a patient, a receptionist and another doctor. there have been at least 20 mass shootings in the united states since the shooting in uvalde, texas. an earthquake woke up people across parts of the bay area this morning. it was a 4.1 magnitude around 5:07 a.m. it hit about miles northwest of pittsburg near bay point and suisun bay. slept right on through it. the dogs didn't even stir. they're supposed to be a little bit more attuned to that kind of stuff. let's take a look at a cool picture to begin with. had some clouds floating over the bay area today. intermittent clouds and sunshine. those can produce interesting optical everybody effects. it's a similar optical effect to
