the slow traffic. look at the frontage roads. they started closing 880 northbound. look at the frontage road there. slow traffic there. traffic is beginning to slow down here because they just closed oak street. and southbound traffic is going to be slow. people who maybe have been caught unaware when they closed jackson street have to go all the way down to 16th, which is out of the picture here. downtown oakland not recommended driving. fur taking the train to the parade, use 12th street, city center or 19th street stations. the stations are pretty big and can accommodate a lot of people. this is near oracle arena. traffic is okay driving by there. b.a.r.t. tweeted they are seeing long lines at the fremont station. if you don't have a clipper card or ticket already, bring $15 in cash to avoid a long line. they will just sell you a clipper card and you can get on the train with little or no delay. 7:02. back to the desk. >> we are less than three hours

yesterday in san francisco by a coworker. they are 56-year-old wayne chan of san francisco. 50-year-old benson louie of san francisco. and 46-year-old michael lefiti of hercules. the gunman, jimmy lam, killed himself. the building is operating again today. allie rasmus is out there this morning, joining us now with an update. allie. >> reporter: operating again. although on a somewhat limited capacity according to some of the employees here. i'm going to step out of the way so this driver can get right past me. you can see some of the streets in this area are still closed off as the metal barricades are set up on the sidewalks. people have brought out flowers, candles and left behind notes and signs. our thoughts are with you, big brown. that was the nickname for michael lefiti, a popular driver that a lot of people have spoken about since this

happened. we're at 17th and utah where we have seen a lot of employees and trucks driving in and out of the driveways all morning. i had a chance to speak with some of the workers this morning and they say even though it looks like things are back to normal, that is definitely not the case inside the building. the mood is somber, emotional, sad, with coworkers giving each other hugs and comfort after the loss of their colleague yesterday. >> everybody is emotional right now. sad. missing mike. mike was a big part of the building, man. came in every morning happy. said hi to everybody. gave hugs. he was a loud person. generous. big teddy bear, man. y bear, man. >> reporter: and that employee refers to one of the victims, ups driver mike lefiti. one of the three employees shot and killed by jimmy lam. according to police, the drivers yesterday morning went in for a regular morning meeting just before 9:00. many lam was upset about

something and left and came back with guns. he shot and killed his three coworkers before turning the gun on himself. two other employees were shot but survived. this morning out at the facility. we notice there had are private security guards and metal detectors in plain view. i asked the supervisor have they always been there and he said yes this is not a new thing that they added since yesterday. it raises the question how the employee was able to get inside of the building with his weapons. it is still unclear. the shooting is still under investigation. in fact yesterday police searched the gunman's home and came out with boxes of items. the motive is not clear. but a representative for the teamsters union says the gunman, lam, had filed a grievance with the union complaining about working too much overtime. back out here live it certainly seems like a busy location even though according to some of the workers that we have spoken with, things are at limited

capacity. reflecting that, ups sent out notices to customers in san francisco that some packages will be delayed because of what happened here. that is the least of the concerns for folks here and for people in the community. many of whom have been coming out and showing their support for the victims. back to you guys. >> allie rasmus, thank you. more coverage of the shooting at the ups facility continues on ktvu.com right now. you can also download our mobile news app for breaking news alerts. the time is 7:15. let's get you moving this morning. a lot happening today. sal, how does the commute look so far. >> a crash they're clearing in berkeley, dave and gasia. blocking all of the lanes temporarily. let's go to it. the east shore freeway. it is blocking all the lanes at gillman right there. it is blocking all of the lanes. trying to get it out of the way. if you're going up to the berkeley area, please give yourself plenty of extra time leaving berkeley. you can see that it is very,

very, very slow. westbound 80 will also be slow past the scene because people are looking at what is going on. again, the accident is just around the corner here. and kevin is pushing up for me. thank you, kevin. it is right there. they are trying to get it out of the lanes. to the right of the smoke, which is the regular smokestack, no one is getting through. do you see that? the freeway is empty. they're trying to get the crash out of the way. please give yourself extra time. this is a look at the westbound bay bridge. that is backed up to the maze. about a regular bay bridge commute. 25 to 30-minute delay before you make it on to the span. they have closed the oak street and the broadway and the jackson street off-ramp muchs in downtown oakland from 880. it is putting a lot of cars on side roads as you can see. look at the side road here. a lot of people are going to be on that side road. a lot of slow traffic as people come up on the closures. a good area to avoid. that would be downtown oakland. obviously this is all because of people coming to the parade. and it's going to be a very

crowded place. b.a.r.t. has recommended 12th street, city center or 19th street stations for the parade. 7:17. let's bring in steve. >> it's good that doesn't impact us here, sal. we're a long way from that. doh. >> doh. >> there are major changes here. yesterday was mostly fog free except for a patch or two. there is a lot along the coast. it will actually make it a little cooler. really nice. 66 downtown oakland at 10:00 a.m. 72 and 76. i can't beat that seriously. not too cold or windy or hot. temperatures look good here. 61 in concord and brentwood. a lot of 50s and fog has been stacking up on the san mateo coast and making it over to sfo, burlingame and some of the coastal hills as well. excessive heat watch saturday

week. 60s, 70s, 80s and a few low 90s inland or far enough north. low to mid-80s in morgan hill and gilroy. tomorrow it's all about warmer temps. that is really warmer on the weekend. >> triple digits. thank you, steve. a show of resilience among lawmakers one day after a shooting in virginia. next a live report on the condition of the congressman injured in the shooting and what we know about the gunman.

unified. and when we work together for the common good. >> reporter: the president spoke from the white house shortly after the attack. and house speaker paul ryan called for more unity in washington. >> an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. >> reporter: and ryan also cited this, a picture of democrats at their practice praying for the victims. the charity ball game in the meantime will happen. >> if we go home, then they win. >> reporter: yeah. this is a tradition that dates back to 1909. it has been canceled a few times in the past, during the depression, during world war ii. they felt it was important to send a message this time around that republicans and democrats can come together, do something positive. we will see how long this new sentiment lasts. back to you guys. >> doug luzader in washington, thank you. past mass shootings have

brought calls for greater gun controls. but the targeting of republican lawmakers yesterday prompted the opposite response. some demand that existing restrictions be loosened to people facing attacks are able to defend themselves. some of the representatives at the practice say washington, d.c.'s restrictive gun laws barred them from bringing weapons to the park. the too i am is 7:25. state lawmakers will vote on a new $125 billion budget that increases spending for social services and education. the governor and legislative leaders already negotiated the spending plan. it is expected to easily be approved by the full state senate and the assembly. both have democratic majorities. democrats have praised the budget for increasing payments for doctors and dentists who take care of medi-cal patients. if approved, the university of california system may see new restrictions. uc would lose out on $50

coast and spilling over to sfo and burlingame. that came roaring in around pillar point. it has filled in. mendocino coast and other areas are clear. that's the system that is dragging across, enhanced the on shore breeze. high pressure hat got its bags packed and ready to fire up to us starting tomorrow. west at sfo at 17. it will be sunny today. a couple degrees cooler. and tomorrow we will start warming things up. 60s, 70s, 80s and upper 80s. 90s inland. things are already getting busy around oakland. >> it is. i thought they were going to clear this accident quickly but they haven't. you can see how slow the traffic is. i want to show you the traffic is very slow. and after, look at 80 is empty. look at that. that is eastbound 80 right there. no cars are getting through. some cars are getting off on

the 580 ramp. no cars are getting through. because the accident is east 80 right there at gilman street. this is an unexpected backup getting away from the macarthur maze for the injury crash. 80 westbound is also slowing down. you can see the accident on the other side of the freeway and it will take drivers a little more time to drive by that. this is a look at the bay bridge. traffic backed up for 20 to 25 minutes. chp closed the jackson street off-ramp and broadway. that is causing more slow traffic. a lot of people on the side roads. you can see that people are on the side roads. it is not advised for you to drive into oakland with your car today. northbound 880 is also slow passing oracle arena coliseum. take b.a.r.t. the best station to get off is 12th street or 19th street. those are big stations and can accommodate you. 7:33.

back to the desk. >> thank you, sal. more than a million fans expected at the victory parade in oakland for the championship game. b.a.r.t. is already packed getting fans to and from the parade. >> alex savidge is live at the 19th street station in oakland on what we need to keep in mind, alex, for those at home hoping to take b.a.r.t. to the parade. >> reporter: yeah. the main thick to keep in mind, if or making b.a.r.t. to the parade, it is the best opposite to get here. you won't be alone. there is a big crowd here already along 20th and broadway along the parade route. i know a lot of these die hard warriors fans took b.a.r.t. to get down here today. the system they are seeing long lines at many stations to buy tickets. the trains are already getting crowded. according to b.a.r.t., the busiest time frame for them this morning is coming up between 8:00 this morning and 10:00 this morning, which is the start time for the parade. we're talking with a lot of riders who left early just to

beat the rush. [cheering and applause] >> we actually walked. >> and jumped on the train. here we are. >> yeah. hell yeah. >> reporter: now, if you can, the best advice from b.a.r.t. is to avoid getting off at the lake merritt station. instead, try to use 12th street or 19th street where we are this morning. b.a.r.t. says they are bracing for record ridership. the most people that ever rode b.a.r.t. in a single day was back in 2012 when 568,000 riders took to the trains to celebrate the giants world series championship. and the parade in san francisco that year. b.a.r.t. is prepared for the fact that they may have even more people using the system today. they have longer train that's are running more often. >> we really need people to be patient and understand that with so many people in a confined space, it will take

time to get places and it will require patience and understanding that you're not going to be able to get necessarily where you want to go right away. >> reporter: one of the big things that may slow you down if you're getting on b.a.r.t. this morning to come to the parade and buying a ticket. maybe you don't ride b.a.r.t. very often but you're buying a paper ticket. those lines to buy tickets at any many of the -- at many of the stations are very long. so buy a clipper card. many of the stations if you bring $15 in cash, they will have station agents standing there to sell you $15 clipper cards. that will save you a lot of time. as we bring you back out here live, you want to get here as soon as possible. as you can see, things are filling in here along the parade route. you want to get down here and get a good spot so you can see steph curry, kd and the rest of the crew as they roll by.

this is the live look here at broadway and 20th this morning. things already very busy. we're still more than two and a half hours away from the start of this parade. imagine what it will look like at 10:00 this morning. >> alex savidge in oakland. thank you. >> we don't have to imagine. we will bring it to you live. alex will stay where he is. the warriors lineup could look different next year. they have ten soon to be free agents. two probably won't be going anywhere, steph curry and kevin durant. steph curry is expected to be a $200 million man in the nba. some other warriors free agents including iguodala, mcghee and david west. steph curry says team comes first here, even when it affects your financial bottom line. m line. >> at the end of the day, we know what is best for us as a group going forward. we're going to do everything that we can to keep this team

together. so i'll have that mind-set. kd is going to have that mind- set. i know all of the guys that are up for -- for negotiating new contracts, we will see what happens. happens. >> the warriors haven't yet received an invitation to the white house, which is customary for championship teams. steph curry does not want to go. he says the team as a group will still decide what the plan will be. earlier this week, the warriors issued a statement saying no decision had been made. the whole team went after the last championship when president obama invited them. curry isn't the only player speaking out. iguodala will not go to the white house. mornings on 2 will cover parade preparations for you throughout the morning. then our special dub nation celebration starts at 9:00 a.m. i hope you join us. we will bring in our sports director mark ibanez and our sports anchor joe fonzi. the two guys are up early. sal castaneda will of course be with us as we celebrate the golden state warriors.

this morning theresa may, the prime minister, is opening a full investigation into the fire. >> when they see it is secure when it is possible to identify the cause of this fire, then of course there will be proper investigation. and if there any lessons to be learned they will be and action will be taken. >> i believe we need to ask questions about what facilities and resources have been given to every local authority that has tower boxes in the area. and frankly most do. we need to deal with this. we need people to be safe living in highrise buildings. se buildings. >> hundreds of people are were left homeless by the fire. people have been dropping off food, water, bedding and clothing at emergency shelters. new figures showing inflation in the bay area is at the highest level since the dot- com bust of the early 2000s. consumer prices haven't been this high since the year 2001. energy prices are driving the spike. the cost of food however was

not a factor. food prices actually went down. more people are eating at home instead of dining out. we will help get you out and about. today's commute is atypical, sal. the warriors parade traffic and closures are dramatically affecting a lot of oakland streets and the freeways. >> absolutely. we top it off with a big crash on eastbound 80 just east of gilman blocking all of the lanes. i thought they would clear it rather quickly but they haven't been able to do that. some cars are get being through. in the last minute or so, i have seen cars getting through. no, that's not correct. cars are getting through on to 580. so kind of fooled me here. this is the 580 ramp. cars getting through here. look at 80. no one is getting through. that is 80, the arrow on the left. let's do it again. 80 eastbound. nobody is getting through. some people are getting through this way, getting out on to

westbound 580. this crash has been there for at least 40 minutes. it really is having a big impact on the traffic eastbound as you drive. a big effect on the traffic. let's move along and take a look at the bay brick westbound. that is backed up to the macarthur maze. and this morning's commute in downtown oakland as gasia mentioned a lot of show traffic in oakland. some of the ramps in downtown oakland have been shut down. they don't want that many cars on city streets. the parade starts at 10:00. people are already showing up. you can't take the downtown oakland ramps so take b.a.r.t. if you're going to the parade and expect slow traffic if you're driving through. let's talk about 880 oakland a little farther down near the coliseum. slowing northbound. the east bay commute is moderate between hayward and union city. and the south bay commute is well. like a normal thursday here in san jose. all of the routing getting into the west valley are crowded as

they would be on a normal thursday. 7:48. back to you, steve. >> thank you, sir. we have fog along the san mateo coast. that seems to be about it. patches elsewhere. otherwise mostly clear out there. a little more of a breeze today than yesterday. it is not overcast or anything. 66 at 10:00 a.m. for the parade. looks nice over oakland. 72, 76. could be a degree or two warmer than that. it will be nice. here are temperatures around oakland right now. 55, 57, 59, 56. so it looks like we're right on cue there as we warm up. not hot, hot. better at the parade today than on saturday when it would be in the upper 80s. 650s on the temps to the low 6 -- 50s on the temps to low 60s. today will be similar to yesterday. then friday kicks in. on the weekend, temperatures in the upper 90s to 100s.

always a tricky call by the coast because the water temps are very, very cold. i don't think it will be that warm over there. the temperature trend is up and will stay up there. it will be a week inland, friday until at least next wednesday. next tuesday will be the hottest day. by the way, if you're heading to arizona, phoenix is looking at 120 degrees next tuesday. that is two off of the all-time of 122. smoking hot in the desert southwest and the valley. there's a lot of fog filling in. now parts of marin and sonoma coast. i have done this a long time. that is a sure sign that it will be cooler today. the system is coming in. that's all it takes when the water temps are that cold. so that fog is getting a little help today. more of a westerly breeze or a west/southwest or south. that is a little more prominent than yesterday. yesterday there were no clouds except down to santa cruz. today that is not the case. once this goes by, high

pressure will fire up and temperatures go up as well. that will be tomorrow. 60s to upper 80s and low 90s. these will be the coolest probably inland for a while. maybe a long while. they're going to get into the 90s and 100s and stick and stay for a little bit. >> look, out of livermore, the triple digits look about right. >> meteorological summer started june 1st. we're almost to the official start of summer. it gets hot. >> okay. >> thank you, steve. the time is 7:51. helping dozens of bay area teachers buy a house. very generous donation by facebook founder mark zuckerberg and his wife.

when you come up, that's what you will see. that's why it is so slow on 880 through oakland. if we can go back to my picture of 880 on the roof cam in the control room, it is very, very slow. people are jammed in traffic getting up to the area. it will be a slow commute. i do not recommend you doing this. it is backed up all the way down to the coliseum. look at the slow traffic on northbound 880. so take b.a.r.t. and use the 12th or the 19th street stations. let's go back to gasia. >> thank you, sal. we are counting down to the warriors championship celebration. the parade begins at 10:00 this morning. our uninterrupted coverage of dub nation celebration starts in a little less than an hour. >> warriors fans are eager. some like him started lining up last night for spots along the parade route in oakland. these are live pictures. we're right there and you're right there with the fans. this is near the beginning of the parade route.

fans have been celebrating since monday night's championship victory. this year's crowd may be even bigger than the one in 2015. >> thought the morning we have been checking in -- thought the morning we have been checking in on the size of the crowd. the crowds get deeper and deeper closer to the start of the parade. early bird fans say they lost a few hours of sleep but it is worth it because they wanted a prime viewing spot to catch their favorite warriors players on the parade route. we will show you the route now. it starts from the practice facility at 11th street and broadway. then goes up broadway to grand avenue and makes a turn on to harrison street and then lakeside drive before ending at the convention center right next to oakland's jewel lake merritt for the rally. ktvu's rob malcolm is live in downtown oakland where city streets are filling up with warriors fans. i see a lot of blue and gold out there, rob.

>> the time is 8:13. the workers who died at the ups building in san francisco are being remembered by family, friends and customers. the memorial for michael is growing. >> the flowers, the notes, balloons and candles starting arriving as soon as people found out that he was one of the victims. ktvu's allie rasmus is at the ups warehouse that was shut

down after the drivers were shot. what is happening this morning. >> the facility is back in operation. most of the people who work here will tell you that things are not the same. we have seen a lot of employees coming back this morning, returning to work, meeting with the teamsters representative, this gentleman in the black shirt. you can tell by the trademark brown uniforms these are ups employees. they have been gathering and kind of stopping and pausing in front of this memorial that is out here on 17th and utah. you can see the sign says our thoughts are with you, big brown. that was the nickname for mike lefiti, one of the popular ups drivers killed here yesterday in this workplace shooting. there is also another memorial a block away at 16th and bruno. the street in between. you can see from the barricades and the police tape it is still closed off. the ups workers, wayne chan, benson louie, they were shot and killed by another coworker,

jimmy lam. full screen, the graphic shows you the name of the three victims. lefiti, chan and benson louie. it happened after 9:00 yesterday morning avenue the regular morning meeting. lam shot and killed three coworkers before he was confronted by police and turned the gun on himself. two other employees were shot but survived. workers say the mood is somber and sad understandably. ups is providing on-site counseling services for the employees who work here. >> it is kind of rough for us. being in that type of situation and then seeing people that you work with on a daily basis and then they're gone and it's like they're not here with you anymore. you still have to go to work. it is kind of rough. the morale is low. >> they only got a little stuff

to go. downstairs it is not normal. nothing is normal today. it is not normal. it's not the same. everybody is not all amped up like we usually with. >> now, there are private security guards and metal detectors in plain screw at the entrances of the warehouse. one of the workers told me they are not new. they were not installed overnight. so it raises the question how an employee was able to get inside with the weapon in the first place. the shooting is still under investigation. police searched the gunman's home and came out with a box of items. the motive is not clear. but a representative for the team certificates says that he had filed a grievance a couple months ago complaining about working too much overtime. they issued alerts to customers in san francisco letting them

know packages might be delayed. obviously that is the least of the concerns for everybody involved, for the customers and people who work here. ups has set up a contingency plan and brought in workers and resources from other areas and other locations to help out today and throughout the weekend. back to you, gasia and dave. >> allie rasmus in san francisco. thank you. let's talk about traffic in oakland. right around the side of the parade and celebration, sal. >> that's right, gasia and dave. we have been looking at a serious crash at gilman this morning or just after gilman. most of the lanes not all of them are open. this has been a huge delay for people heading eastbound where you don't see a lot of slow traffic. most lanes are getting through. it looks like they have one lane blocked according to chp. but traffic is slow as you drive through. let's move along and take a look at the bay bridge approach. it is backed up for 20 to 25

minutes. a lot of people still have to go to work. this is a look at 880 in oakland. a lot of the ramps are closed. they just simply don't want a lot of cars in downtown oakland because of the parade. a lot of the streets are closed was of the parade. a large part of oakland streets are detoured and closed because of the parade that starts at 10:00 this morning. this is a look at northbound 880. it is slow passing oracle arena getting into downtown. the best way to get to the parade if you want to go, plenty of room for you to get a spot somewhere is to take b.a.r.t. to 12th street, city center or 19th street. those are the best stations to access the parade. 8:18. let's bring in steve in. it will be a nice weather day for the parade. >> yes, it is. san mateo coast and parts of marin and sonoma, overall it

will be a nice day. after today we warm things up. 66 at 10:00 a.m. 72 at noon. and 76 nice degrees. i mean, it might be one degree or two warmer than that. already looking at 50s. 61 at macarthur and laurel. everybody in the upper 50s to the 60s. if it was saturday i would say it is probably already hot. that's not the case. a lot of fog again kind of hugging parts of the coast. by tomorrow, start to turn things around and temperatures will warm up. i don't think the coast will get in on this completely. i think they will be all right. they are ex shrewd from the heat watch, as is san francisco. fog was not there when dave and i came in at o dark thirty.

>> yeah. >> it is making a good impact for some. the weak system to the north allowed the fog to enhance itself. 49, 50 on the water temps. that is cold. bodega bay and san francisco buoy. you just need a weak system. out to the delta, it is not crazy but west to the southwest. a couple temperatures off from yesterday but that's about it. once the system goes by the north. how long do you think this will last. >> reporter: the forecast models, lows are deeper and last longer. this one looks like it will build in from the desert southwest and give us a stretch of warm weather. if that comes closer to us, maybe that will enhance the fog. that's a ways off and i think everything says sunshine and warm temps for the next couple

of days. after today, it's turn that frown upside down and warm it up. >> man. >> it looks toasty inland over the next couple of days, dave. >> thank you, steve. >> yep. >> the time is 8:21. we're following what is happening in london. in 20 minutes, the search goes on for possible survivors after yesterday's deadly highrise apartment building. >> reporter: i'm doug luzader in washington. we will have the latest on the ongoing investigation on the shooting attack yesterday that left a congressman and others wounded. that's just ahead.

problem or has it gotten better. >> it is getting better. they are making progress. that is good. let's touch on it again. you may be wondering if eastbound 80 is open. yes. they have opened up the lanes eastbound 80 at gilman. the damage is done. a lot of slow traffic out of the maze and getting up into the gilman area. now finally the lanes have reopened and things are getting a little better. westbound traffic as you come through the area, we will take a look. it is taking about 30 minutes from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze. this is a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. it's about a 20 to 25-minute delay. so it is a typical commute getting into san francisco. speaking of san francisco, northbound 101, not too bad. a little bit of crowding getting on to the lower deck of the bay bridge. this is a look at 880 in oakland both directions. there are a lot of closures in the area here on 880. and people are also using frontage roads to get through.

some people even parked there it looks like. if you're coming down to downtown oakland, we strongly recommend you that use public transportation. get off at 12th street or 19th street. this is a look at 880 northbound. traffic is slow past the coliseum. 880 southbound hayward to union city is slow. the southbound commute is pretty typical. it is slow getting in all of the west valley exits. 8:33. let's go back to the desk. >> we are counting down the minutes now to the warriors championship parade and rally. festivities begin in less than an hour and a half. our wall-to-wall coverage of dub nation celebration starts in half an hour. we will bring you full coverage of the entire event along with the ktvu news and sports team, sal, mark ibanez, and joe fonzi will be joining you. this is a live look from up

standing out there earlier. in the upper 50s and 60s. by 10:00, 66. by noon, 72. nice morible -- nice comfortable degrees here. we're on our way to what looks like to be a nice day around oakland and the parade. other temperatures are warming up. 60s for many. oakland airport 62. fog though has made a much bigger impact today. by tomorrow, all eyes and focus and attention will be on warm temps coming in. i think more so saturday and sunday. it will start to fire up tomorrow with 90s coming back in for many. that stretch of warm weather or hot, however you want to look at it might go into early next week. there are signs of toasty temps out to tuesday. by the coast they're dealing with fog. that is filling in along the san mateo coast. it hasn't really done much. the system to the north enhancing that a little bit.

high pressure in the desert southwest is on its way. west at 18 at sfo. west at hayward. still an on shore breeze. it will be cooler coast and bay. 60, 70s, 80s. but after today, unless you're right by the immediate coast or the beach, i think temperatures starting to get toasty here. they will be warm for a while heading into friday and for sure on the weekend. >> triple digits. >> yep. >> thank you, steve. >> thank you, steve. the time is 8:51. not that he needs it, but steph curry is getting a makeover in san francisco. up next, what they have done to steph's wax figure after the warriors won the championship.

his property threatened him with a hammer. hernandez was brought in for a psychiatric exam. hours later barry wilson was found inside of her home on 10th avenue. investigators quickly connected hernandez to the death of miss wilson. wilson and hernandez did not know each other, the grieving family of a 15-year-old boy in ante affect killed with a pellet gun say the tier ager -- teenager was not the only victim. he was hanging out with friends, handling a pellet gun in his house and it went off. a pellet hit him in the chest. he died at a nearby hospital. now, it is not clear who pulled the trigger but the situation is being treated as an accident. we have been told that his friends panicked and ran next door instead of calling 911. no one tried to rhizopuses tate marcos. now his stepfather wants the

other boys who were there to get counseling because of what they saw. >> i told him, whatever you do in life, save as many lives as you can. kids do what kids do. boys do what boys do. i don't blame the rifle. i don't blame the boys. things happen. >> service for marcos is scheduled for tomorrow. a gofundme page is set up to pay for expenses. we do have a link to that at ktvu.com. the time is 8:55. today marks five years since president obama announced the creation of deferred action for childhood arrivals or daca: a policy that protects hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants brought to the ups as children and protects them from deportation. more than 670,000 young people signed up for the program. it is a two-year program, one that allows young immigrants who came to the u.s. before the age of 16 to work and study without threat of deportation. president trump has allowed the program to go on but the

dreamers as they are called fear he may shut it down at any time. mueller the special counsel investigating russian interference in the election is reportedly also investigating president trump for possible obstruction of justice. the "washington post" says it stems from the firing of comey. last week comey testified that he believed he was fired because he refused to end the criminal investigation into former national security adviser michael flynn. mueller will interview the director of the national intelligence agency, the head of the national security agency, as well as others. president trump is responding to the report this morning, tweeting, quote, they made up a phony collusion with the russians story. found zero proof. now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story. nice. later today the president and first lady will head to the supreme court and watch a special ceremony welcoming gorsuch to the high court. he began hearing cases back in
