5:05 pm
max and i, we've got the gig. boston is the center right now of the sports landscape. not only do we have the nba finals, just outside of town, the u.s. open is here for the balance of the week. so, hey, boston's where it's at. it really is. i'll talk to max a little later on. maybe we don't come home. we'll just have to see. back to you studio. >> sports happening right now. thanks, vern. okay. fans that flew out of sfo today got this special sendoff from yarrel workers. they had a surprise pep rally to give fans an extra little bit of team spirit before facing boston fans. it included a dj. the warriors dance team and warriors gear. okay. but it was a boston flight. so not everybody was happy about it. >> we're sitting outside of a boston gate right now. we have dancers for the warriors. i don't know what this is. i thought we were going back home. >> but i'm watching the game. i'm cheering for my fellows.
5:06 pm
we're there. thank you, ladies! >> and we're going to have more reports from vern and max live in boston throughout the evening and all this week. now to some other headlines. we are following a developing story right now. just a few minutes ago we learned there was a shooting aboard an oakland bart train. the agency told us after 3:00 a fight broke out on a west oakland train. one shot was fired. nobody was hit, though. the station was closed for about 30 minutes. one man was hurt in the altercation and taken to the hospital. bart says an offduty officer recovered the gun. right now nobody is in custody, and bart service has been restored. the federal reserve is attacking inflation with its most aggressive interest rate hike in nearly 30 years. executive anchor elizabeth cook is here with what this means for you. liz? >> the federal reserve raised its benchmark interest rate by 3/4 of a percentage point. that's three times as big as a typical rate hike, and more
5:07 pm
increases could be coming. >> we have both the tools we need and the resolve that it will take to restore price stability on behalf of american families and businesses. >> federal reserve chairman jerome powell said he does not see signs of a broad economic slowdown as the central bank tries to tackle 40-year high inflation. the higher interest rate would make borrowing more expensive on everything from home mortgage loans to credit cards to car loans. the idea is to get people to spend less, which will then lead to a drop in demand for goods, which should lower inflation. also today, president biden sent letters to several major oil companies pushing them to increase the supply of gas and diesel. while also calling out their record profits. >> we know where to put the blame on the war. but oil companies, they have oil refineries. they have responsibility too. >> now he is trying to demagogue energy companies. >> florida's republican governor
5:08 pm
ron desantis criticized president biden's policies and the american petroleum institute, called on the president to, quote, prioritize unlocking u.s. energy resources. ahead of his planned trip to the middle east next month. the main worry is if the fed lowers demand too much, it could stall the economy. and that could lead to higher unemployment or push the economy into a recession. ryan? >> thanks, liz. and those stocks closed higher today after the fed's announcement. the dow was up 303 points. the nasdaq gained 270. and the s&p was up 54. in a separate alarm bell for the u.s. economy, a slowdown in certain retail spending. our government report shows last month spending dropped from april to may. that's the direct result of a high cost of food and gas. consumers spent 43% more on gas than they did last may. grocery store spending was up close to 9% from this time last year. now to a decision a lot of parents have been waiting what feels a very long time for.

5:10 pm
area, there is going to be a pretty healthy appetite. >> absolutely. i always discuss vaccines with my pediatrician. and i'm open to doing what she thinks is best. >> reporter: michelle watts of berkeley says she has been thinking about this for her son but still hasn't made a decision yet. and a lot of parents may find themselves in the same spot now. >> california says it's not going to do school mandates for at least a year. so we'll have to see. >> reporter: so one question is how many parents opt for the vaccine. another is what that might mean for the pandemic at large. >> you know, it's like a fire, to the extent that we get rid of a brush that's septuplet susceptible. these are younger children who are susceptible by vaccination. the less transmission there will be, the less disease there will be. >> no vaccine sites for this. it will be pediatricians office, local clinics and millions of doses have already been ordered around the country. so shots will be available as soon as they can be given,
5:11 pm
possibly as soon as next tuesday. yes here in berkeley, wilson walker, kpix 5. >> thank you, wilson. the man who has helped lead the nation's pandemic response, dr. anthony fauci has tested positive for covid. he is experiencing mild symptoms, according to a statement by his office. the 81-year-old is fully vaccinated, and he's gotten two booster shots. fauci has not been in close contact with the president or any other senior government officials. still ahead on kpix 5 and streaming on "cbs news bay area," a homecoming for the man who helped shape san jose. a poignant tribute to the late norm mineta. >> he absolutely leaves a mark on the community and on the country. >> we need more people in politics like norman. plus, how president biden is strengthening protections for lgbtq americans as some states try to take away their rights. and from record flooding to rock slides, new witness video of a dangerous drive out of yellowstone national park. wow. in the first alert forecast,

5:17 pm
all the difference in terms of depression and suicidal thoughts for an lgbtqi+ young person. it could be a teacher, it could be a coach. it could be someone at their place of worship. but one supportive adult makes all the difference and can save a life. >> that really goes for anybody, right? just one person is all it needs to save a life. the admiral tells me public health issues shouldn't be political. that creating a healthier world for lgbtqi+ people is a health issue, not a political issue, and should stay that way. by the way, the president she says is marking pride months with real action. sara? >> reed, thank you so much. also today, a leading transgender health association lowered its recommended minimum wage for starting gender transition treatment. the world professional association for transgender health said hormones could be started at age 14, and some surgeries could actually happen at 15 or 17. however, the group stresses that age is just one factor to consider. the world health organization's top official in
