can hear the teacher who the district says is on the faculty at bancroft middle school, appeared to go on a rant in front of his class, angry about a student, he says was misbehaving. the teacher is then heard referencing his prior military career and telling the class that in the past he'd shot kids younger than that student. take a listen. three tours in combat and the most dangerous places on earth. tonight thought position the western shipped off that period just nowadays, i am shocked kids younger than here. or you can hear the teacher appeared to tell a student that he's lucky things have changed and that he is no longer able to put his hands on him and take him out of the class himself. another video, also under investigation by the district appears to capture the teacher telling a student this you're probably about 20% undersized for your day. judge try suggest when you get a nice school, you worry about to shut your mouth

letters to authorities confessing to the crime. he signed the letters with a smiley face and became known as the happy face killer. jesperson was locked up, but the identity of the victim was still unknown. a few years ago, the sheriff's office began working with the dna dope project, which later determined skittles identity. it's a very unique case, because i think just as members of the community there's a true um you know frustration to have a homicide conviction without knowing a victim's identity. so this case meant a lot. i think to the community to everyone in santa clara county and the feeling of being able to identify her was, um great. it was great to be able to know. who she was. a cause of death was never determined. just person is now serving for life sentences without the possibility of parole in oregon. hundreds of homes have been evacuated in arizona as fire

crews worked to contain a fast moving wildfire burning there. f amid 50 mile an hour winds, fire officials say it exploded to 6000 acres in hot, dry weather. county officials declared a wildfire emergency and say more than 700 homes and 1000 animals have been evacuated. 24 structures destroyed no word yet on the cause of this fire. a new look at covid-19 impact in one bay area county how deadly it's been compared to other diseases next. also ahead tonight, the new ucsf's study that shows a big disparity in the students

mask or not, the end of the free home of the brave finally, our choice. i do like that. if you want to, you should be able to. but if you don't i mean is it really going to stop anything, so i'm really excited about that. it's up to everybody to make their own decisions. i'm going to keep my mask on, um just to help other people who are still, you know, compromise . we still need to think about them. what was true in the terminal was also true in the air. your member of your mask. but despite the florida federal court ruling, allowing masculine flights, communicable disease expert dr john schwartzberg says otherwise, because the virus will continue to mutate, possibly into forms immune to vaccines. you know how this virus spreads and we know that masks help prevent spread. and wearing a good mask will offer you considerable protection. i asked him if he was on a plane and an unmasked close by passenger was wheezing and

sneezing. what would he do? the airplane wasn't very full, so i could move as far away from that person as possible. i keep that mask on the entire flight, if at all possible on an inbound flight from new jersey today. there was a mixture of masked and unmasked passengers as well as in the airport, with some folks deciding to keep their masks on. this is new for us, and i didn't know this until this morning. and so i am nervous about being on the flight, whether you missed or don't mask officials asked, you do one thing more than anything else, respect other people's decisions. we know that for a lot of people have gotten used to wearing a mask and wearing a mask, maybe part of what makes them feel comfortable in public transit in settings like airports. we still want to make it optional. we still want to allow both passengers and employees to continue to wear a face mask. the nation's first mask mandate occurred in this early in the pandemic. but uncle

sam did not order it. san mateo counties. health order imposed it. airports home county. tom baker, ktvu fox two news. it turns out that francisco maybe the midst of another covid surge , according to some researchers , and they say current case rates may be undercounting. the true number of cases doctors, including ucsf infectious disease specialist peter chen, hong says one reason could be that fewer people are getting tested for the virus and in the past another reason could be that people are not experiencing serious symptoms and are failing to report positive test results of the department of public health doctor chen hong says he test positivity is up it's just something to be aware of. but nothing to be afraid of. because again if you're vaccinated and boosted, um chances are you're not going to get really ill even if a new variant comes along for most people. meantime the san francisco department of public health launched a campaign today to make sure people are prepared for the next covid surge or

variant. the program is similar to others that teach us to be prepared. in case of an earthquake while fire or other emergency. 4 20 tomorrow, so i think everyone just going to come out and have a good time, you know? the unofficial celebration of marijuana returns to san francisco. how this year's event will be very different from years past. and some rain back in the forecast for late tomorrow night into thursday, thursday looks like a pretty wet day, a lot of snow in the mountains and significant rainfall around here. i'll have that after the break first, so ucsf studies alcohol use among high schoolers. the fin (music throughout)

result of neighborhood demographics are more likely to drink alcohol and have other behavioral problems. researchers looked at data on more than 1200 school aged black children across the country from 1991 to 2014, who attended such schools. they found the more segregated the school, the greater the likelihood that black children had behavioral issues or were consuming alcohol. the ucsf study was published this week in the journal pediatrics. well san francisco is gearing up for 4 20 tomorrow, the unofficial holiday celebrating marijuana as ktvu jana katsuyama tells us this year's celebration includes one big change vendors will be selling marijuana products. for some people, the grass is always greener at hippie hill on 4 24 20 tomorrow, so i think everyone's just going to come out and have a good time. you know. this year, the 4 20 marijuana celebration is returning to golden gate park and community organizer spent all day tuesday, setting up the

they're going to putting some structure to it for others event changes the feel this organized , fenced in the gathering is a little bit more commercial than like what cannabis meant for people in this community park staff, though, said before organizers stepped in, there were problems with parking, sanitation and trash respectful of this very special. l'park. treat it like it's yours and, you know, be kind to the neighborhood and be considerate to each other organizers say they are concerned about potential fentanyl poisoning, so they're urging people not to buy any products off the street. there will be police and park rangers as well as a medical tent here on site the gates open at 10 o'clock in the morning. reporting from golden gate park in san francisco. jana katsuyama ktvu, fox two news. already taking a look at the weather. it's gonna be a nice day tomorrow. plenty of sunshine clouds increased late in the day and then showers develop. in the afternoon late afternoon in the north based spread in overnight into the day thursday and a little bit of the thursday night as well, here's the system. it's

a nice looking weather system for this time of year. it's got a little bit of everything with it. it looks like i mean, for this time of year, i'd give it a 10 in terms of ability to deliver rain and snow. um and that's that's good. this time of year. we get really weak storms, and this one's a little more than week. it's got a little game and a half of rain possible. that's the heaviest locations. that's pretty good. that means maybe a half inch in san francisco, maybe a half inch in oakland. inch and a half up on mount 10, maybe more. and then that thursday afternoon chance of this widely scattered thundershower rainfall accumulations wind gust of 40 miles an hour and in the mountains suspect perhaps, of foot and a half to 2.5 to almost three ft. of snow just depends where you are, but i think three ft of snow not out of the question. the other thing to note is that winter storm warning stays in effect through friday morning, so that's a kind of a two day or almost a two or almost a three day event. um, counting wednesday afternoon. and that is a lot of time to have a system up there going off. so yeah. three ft of snow possible the forecast for

tomorrow. the overnight lows will be just where they have been. and then, as we head into tomorrow, this system gets closer. you can already see it pulling in, but its focus is going to be the north and then working its way south over the daytime hours. and so the model does this as we get into 10 o'clock tomorrow night. the showers develop all day. thursday we get scattered showers. you see him? keep going. that doesn't do nice job showing it, but, um, showers keep coming. and then the end on thursday night into friday forecast highs tomorrow will be a little bit milder than today. not much, but the idea of this thing is big time overnight rain breaks off a little thursday morning gets going again thursday afternoon. the evening maybe a sprinkle friday morning , but the bulk of this is right in here winston knight into thursday morning, there's five day forecast, we'll talk again, time it out more or better or differently for you tomorrow. bill. thank you knew at 11. now. in los angeles, a man was sentenced for the murder of philanthropists jacqueline oven
