about who these people are. what is the relation to the family kron? four's will tran is live in san jose with what we know. i will. >> what is not known guys this morning motivation. why with those 3 people that the investigators that they arrested yesterday, why did they do this? they didn't go into details, but they did say there is some sort of relationship between the suspects and the family. now get this. it was a miscommunication between the chp and the san jose police department that actually helped officers track down baby brand. it. here's a picture of the minivan. so late monday night, the chp tweeted out a picture of the minivan about 6 or 7 hours later, even during our morning newscast. the san jose police department actually reached out and said don't show that picture anymore. they actually told the chp to take down that tweet because there was some sort of miscommunication by then many in the public already saw that tweet. and

here's how it helped out because there was a nursing home worker about 5 miles away from where baby branding was kidnapped on monday at around 1 o'clock in the afternoon. it was that nursing home worker on tuesday morning spotted that minivan call san jose police officers. they came to that scene on the 1000 block of drive blocked in that minivan. and then looked around, went into a home and found baby brandon. they made 3 arrests. but at this particular point, the suspects names have not been released to the public, but we are getting a little bit more details on at least 2 of those suspects. one was a woman who was with the grandmother at the time. all explained that just a few moments. but they did arrest the man who was spotted in the surveillance footage. they believe this was orchestrated because the man showed up to the apartment complex with a baby carrier. and so brandon and casually walked away. so he has been arrested. then there was a

woman who was with the grandmother at the time the grandmother was watching brand and she was off loading groceries with brandon inside the unit. that woman was with the grandmother. they interviewed her and that woman's story kept changing, according to investigators. so she was also arrested. there was a 3rd person. they're not going into details about that particular person, including not even the gender that person to 3 people arrested altogether. they say that they're still working on the case. but if you're wondering this morning and you're drinking your coffee, what was the motive? well, we have the same question so far. the san jose police department and the fbi, they brought in the fbi to help. they had the news conference and both agencies did not go into the details on why anybody would go into an apartment unit and kidnapped a 3 month-old baby boy. but the bottom line is that boy is safe this morning. >> all right. happy to have a happy ending to that. at least. thank you. will.

>> 6 '04 is the time the oakley police department are about announce a reward for the information and finding alexis gave the 24 year-old woman who was last seen on january. 26 in antioch. police have done so pursuing leads. they say, but they want the public's health help with this. more details on the reward are supposed to come out a press conference tomorrow and we're supposed to get some more details on the case at that time. if you want to check it out will be live streaming at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning. that's the plan. time. so go to the kron on app for that. >> all right. 6, 0, 5, is the time and new this morning we have video showing a fight inside of a 6th grade classroom at a middle school in antioch. pretty vicious apparent at that school says it happened while the students were left unattended. proffers taylor per second takes a closer look at explains what happened. >> exclusive cell phone video shared with kron. 4 news apparently shows a 6th grade student being tossed around by another student inside a classroom at park middle school in antioch on monday. the fact that there was no

fierce opposition from several disability, mental health and civil liberty groups who have concerns about forced treatment. >> believe that forced care works well for people with mental health disabilities. and we don't feel that there's a good evidence base to support >> others are raising concerns about lack of housing workforce and how it would potentially worsen racial disparities. also, how much care court, what cost is still something needs to be determined. >> college students all across the country and in california are looking for housing for this coming fall and finding it hard to find, especially in the bay area rents are high and there's a lack of housing, especially again on some uc campuses like cal berkeley is one of them has a longstanding problem with being able to keep up with enrollment house. all the kids, cow has a limited dorm space and the competition is fierce for the

off campus ranson a range for like $1600 a month for a studio. if you're lucky enough to find one. >> and a lot of sun city had no idea of this housing crunch when they chose to attend uc berkeley. >> feel like most students go into this process blind and not knowing how bad and how difficult it is to >> and frankly, i definitely was not prepared. >> to be distressed about housing every year and about like >> i feel for the kids because that is such a pain in like they're spending so much money and they're so excited to go. and then they all went sleep day. i can't fit in the dorms. the question now. so that's tough when actually so you see was going to have to cap enrollment numbers because of lawsuit brought by neighbors who are upset about the growth. but state lawmakers fast track to fix. so that allows the campus to rule as many students as they plan for this coming >> back. they don't have an update to housing, right? because they have not been

allowed to build more housing. >> interesting. all right. 6.38 is the time. let's talk about the california drought. it's actually forcing. >> bay area cities to make some big changes now, this is a look at the most recent map and you can see all of the bay area is in. >> a severe drought level and now east bay mud. they voted to put new limits into place. yeah. and there will be tougher penalties to for households that go over those limits with crawford's theresa to explain. >> we're going into a stage 2 drought. that 'eans that customers are going to be required, not asked to conserve water effective immediately. east bay municipal utility district customers must. >> start conserving water or else face penalties. the board approved the move into stage 2 drought at its tuesday meeting. district spokesperson andrea polk breaks down. what happens next? >> we're asking them to conserve water at a level of temper and that is district-wide not individually. some people can

save more. and some people have already taken, you know, significant measures. polk says that the board stopped short of putting in a drought surcharge or rate hike to help pay for extra water supplies due to the drought. tabling that tell a meeting in may. but the board will start an excessive water use. panel. the ordinance that puts a limit of slightly more than 1600 gallons per household. and if you go over that daily rate is $2 per unit. it's definitely time to take that route seriously. so it was tempting back in october and december to think that we were out of the are dry january march. certainly polk says all of this is not to punish households, but face a reality. 3 year statewide drought, i would say the most important thing for is that what they do really matters what they do counts collectively. we really can make a difference. and we must

midst of this dip in the jet stream that's bringing us this cool down today is going to be a brisk feel through the day with breezy conditions and highs in the 60's to low 70's. a few passing clouds here in the middle of the day. but for the most part, today is going to be mostly sunny one tomorrow. skies clear out a little bit more, but just as cool, just as brisk as today. so today, tomorrow, your light jacket kind of days before a weekend warm-up. that takes us right back into the 70's. even close to the 80's by saturday of this weekend. as for today, definitely nothing close to 80's out. there will be in the 50's and 60's for sf in 50's right along the coastline. temperatures for bayshore cities mostly in the 60's foster city saying carlos down through palo alto, each at 64 south bay, temperatures close to 70's but hanging out in the 60's. fremont union city's snow at 64 pleasanton oakland at 65 well. conquered over to get up into solano and much of napa counties in the midst of some 70's again today, some of our warmest spots this

afternoon tomorrow similar to today. and then we warm things up starting on friday, saturday, going to be beautiful highs solidly in the 70's. lots of sunshine. enjoy that one sunday. going to be great to before a little bit of a cool down in a slight chance of showers on monday right now. john, thank you for that. last time we checked daily at an accident up here in pittsburgh. now that that's clear. >> you still have about a 33 minute drive traveling from any acts. one, 60 and to conquer to 42. let's check on the bay bridge that fremont street exit. you can see traffic building their 20 minute drive as you're heading from the maze into the city eastbound right near that 4th street exit. there is an accident, but i'm not seeing any delays as you're traveling out of the city because of that. we're closely watching that san mateo bridge, 14 80 to one o 1, 1, one moving along pretty nicely. doubling down to fremont about 16 minutes for your drive. 5.80, moving along as well. and then you get to 8.80, and you start to see some delays. you're traveling southbound there on the northbound side, though,

things are moving at the limit in the south bay one-on-one. 85 traveling into menlo park. 33 minutes to 18. 82 moving along pretty nicely. and to 37 17, no accidents. there. the golden gate bridge. 37 to the totals about a 20 minute drive darya. james, back to you. thanks a lot. at and the giants host the a's in the bay bridge series. yes. and the warriors are coerced, prepared for game 5 against the nuggets tonight. >> where you are going? oh, yeah. warriors blue plan that jason this with with more. what we can >> game one at oracle park and check it out. an aids fan in enemy territory, enjoying those not shows. >> let's go to the top of the first no score. it carlos read on he was dealing high heat right there. he says down stephen piscotty to end the ending. bottom of the second, wilmer flores at the plate.

looking like it's out of there. but you know, that wind in oracle park. hit the warning track and brandon crawford comes into score is a one. nothing game. bottom of the 3rd giants up 2 to one to offer. flores now. the winning goal. keep this one down. that is long gone. three-run home run that extends the lead to for his 4th rbi of the game. of the 5th 5, 1, done. he is still doing it. look at him. just freeze. tony kemp. get out ending right there. he went 6 innings of one-run ball. he struck out 9 and this was the kill shot. austin slater high and deep to right. it goes off the top of the fence. the look at it in. they called it a home run as they should. the giants. they go on to win 8 to 2 set. the tone came out, throwing strikes >> even when the a's which

they did all the way through the game, put really good high quality about on took good swings, fouled off some pitches and ran pitch count up. he continued to attack the strike zone. so he set the tone from a crisp standpoint. it was it was crisp right out the gates. and we had some big bats. and think we played good all around baseball game. we're 4 games into golden state's post season run and steph has not started a game. >> the reason for that was because staff was coming off of that foot injury and was on a minute restriction. so staff didn't want to come off the bench to ensure that he could and quarters on the floor. i should say he wanted to come off the bench so he can ensure he ended quarters on the floor. >> but stay, steve kerr said that minute restriction. well, it's over. that mean staff will in all likelihood, bree enter the starting 5. so someone is going to be odd man out either jordan poole or combine looney that we're relegated to a bench role. not always the easiest thing to do, especially when you have ego of a pro athlete. and i don't say that as a slight,

you need somewhat of an ego to make it to the top one percent of your craft, which is every nba basketball player. but will that be an issue will step have to say something to the guy who ends up booted from that starting lineup. steph does not think so. >> no, but it. its essence of who we are says sense of how we >> do things and understand every season, every situation you find yourself and you had to just make the right call in terms of what's in the spirit of winning and getting yourself and your team, the best shot at winning. that's should be able to handle whatever decisions or whatever role you have to kind of assume based on what the answer that question us. >> very exciting tonight 07:00pm tipoff time again. so it's going to be a late win was for us anyway. >> we'll be watching ball, but don't know. goes to bed was set at 7 o'clock.
