>> yes, the latest information on the condition of the officers . one suffered life threatening injuries and is still in the hospital. a second officer had moderate injuries and was released from the hospital. the suspect, who was also shot in all this, did suffer some life threatening injuries as well and remains in the hospital. this is all according to san jose police, who remain here at the scene this morning. this all happened at the extended stay america hotel near san ignacio and bernal. this was around 1030 last night, and you can see there's still a pretty large police presence out here and a very active investigation scene. now, we don't know what exactly brought the officers here in the first place. 1030 last night, san jose police say they were responding to a disturbance call when they encountered what the department said was a male suspect. police did not say what that man was wanted for. but according to police, the man shot at the officers and they shot back. the two officers and the suspect were all struck by the gunfire. a woman who lives on the third floor of that hotel

described hearing multiple gunshots, and she heard police shouting afterwards. >> they came banging on the door very shortly after, saying that we had to shelter in place because, well, at first they didn't tell us what happened. then when they came back about two hours later, they let us know that there was officers down. you could see glass and you could see blood. >> several other hotel residents and a hotel worker told us here, off camera that it's not uncommon for police to be called to this hotel for what they say are minor disturbances. usually it's an extended stay hotel studio style apartments and kitchens in each unit where people can pay on a day to day basis to stay here, there's a lot of temporary out of town workers who stay here, and we've also seen several families with young children, even babies. so a variety of guests staying at this extended stay hotel. here's what one of them had to say. >> there's little incidents that's happened all the time. you know, i didn't think anything like this would happen, but you never know. you never know. you know, things are crazy now.

>> now, just about 90 minutes ago, we watched police leading someone from inside the hotel into one of the patrol cars parked outside. the person had his hands behind his back. we're not sure if that person was detained as part of this investigation or is involved in something else, possibly or maybe being. but they did drive the person away from the scene. we are waiting to find out if there's any additional people or suspects that police are looking looking for, but it does show that more than ten hours after this initial shooting happened, there's still a very active investigation and scene here because of that, there are some streets that are closed. you should try to avoid the area of san ignacio and bernal as a whole shopping center nearby and adjacent to this extended stay hotel, but police are still doing an investigation here, so they are advising people to avoid the area if they can live in san jose. allie rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> allie. thank you. police have arrested more than 2100 people during the pro-palestine protest

at college campuses across the country in recent weeks, according to new figures compiled by the associated press. police in riot gear have moved in to clear out tent encampments and occupied buildings on dozens of college campuses and student journalists at these colleges say they're learning important lessons covering these demonstrations. >> we've really realized the importance of, having reliable, accurate and fair coverage of what's happening. i'm definitely just trying to report as accurately and as fairly as i can, and place my sentiments about the conflict aside. >> more than 100 people have been taken into custody at columbia university in new york, alone and over 200 were detained at ucla yesterday morning, the organizers of the pro-palestinian demonstrations on the cal campus say they have met several times with the uc berkeley administrators. >> the protesters say they made it clear they want the university to review its current investments and they want the university to immediately cut ties with weapons manufacture

and military supply industries involved with israel's attacks on gaza. >> we've met with all, all sorts of people. chancellor christ, the staff. i'm not sure about the positions of each of these people, but like it's in progress. >> the protesters say they can claim one victory. they say the undergraduate student body voted in favor of a measure to block all student funds linked to the military. they now hope the university will do the same. we reached out to the university, but a spokesperson declined to comment. >> administrators at stanford sent a photo to the fbi of someone wearing a headband that's normally worn by hamas fighters, the university spokesperson says. the person was seen earlier this week near the encampment at white plaza on the stanford campus. investigators say the person wore a green headband, face covering and glasses. the person has not been identified and so far the fbi has no comment. our coverage of the campus protests continue online at ktvu dot com.

should return back to normal soon. city leaders say that several streets are reopening now after a fire forced them to close on monday night. the openings are across the street from the concord bart station between clayton road and concord boulevard. multiple stretches of road were closed for days after a big fire monday night. the city says debris removal starts next week. the cause of the fire is under investigation in oakland, a popular restaurant, horn barbecue, reopened last week after a fire shut it down for more than six months. >> but officials say they are now investigating the november fire as arson. the building was deemed unsafe to use following the fire and closed off because of the damage. well, now firefighters say evidence found at the scene has revealed someone may have set that fire intentionally. the owner says the restaurant was defaced and vandalized the day before it burned down. >> let's get over to rosemary oroczo for a look at your weather and it seems unbelievable that in just 24 hours it's going to be a lot different. >> yes, we are looking at a pretty good rain event. enough rain perhaps in one day to what

we typically see for the entire month of may. so this late season storm also bringing with it chilly temperatures. i'll show you that here momentarily. let's take a look at beautiful view over the golden gate bridge and the golden gate park area of san francisco. we are going to have dry conditions. today takes the entire day before the clouds finally begin to move in. right now, the system again well off the off the coast of california, but closer to the coast of areas of washington, oregon. the timeline on this right now it looks like by tonight see an increase in clouds across not only our coastline, but into the bay. tomorrow morning, we'll stop it here right about sunrise. lake county, north bay, seeing some rain already. notice the shades of yellows. even a little strip of orange in there. so it should be coming down pretty good tomorrow morning into the central bay. south bay looks like by about eight 9:00 in the morning, lunchtime looks soggy, but by 3:00 in the afternoon, that front is moving out and we are left with showers for the second part of the

screen, or go to ktvu.com/vote. >> snakes is not on that list? no? well, pets that's pet. >> okay, i get the snakes as pets. i was thinking about stinky foods. >> pretty foods. have you ever been on a flight where someone like, unwraps a warm tuna sandwich or something quite regularly? >> really? oh, yeah. or fish. and it just, like, wafts through the entire plane and you're just like, well, there goes the comfort, right? >> right. no, i packed like pretzels, orange slices like. yeah, like stuff that people don't find offensive. i don't even bring nuts because the airborne nut allergy thing. >> but you would know that it was going to be pretty fragrant. so you're sitting waiting for your flight for a long time. so i tend to eat it before i ever get on the plane. >> right. like if you make the sandwich at 6 a.m. when you leave, you're sitting in this like little seat crunched up like this, you know, so you don't want to you rather be sprawled out in the airport area, in the terminal area. >> i don't want to jinx myself, but i haven't had any stinky

food yet. but just the thought of it makes me like. >> yeah, yeah. >> it hasn't happened yet. okay >> well not surprised people. it happens all the time. >> he's on different than you are because i'm flying to florida or something i don't know. >> yeah. >> all right let's look ahead here to what's happening on maui a key piece of information there missed as the deadly fires were raging in the past year. next on the nine how officials on maui are taking aim at several major cell carriers. why they say residents were hampered by a lack of communication during the evacuation. then, amid a push to strengthen sentencing laws for some offenders, criminal justice reform advocates are urging a different tactic to help improve public safety. why the can the flavor of a slow cooked smoked sausage be so gloriously delicious that the sight of its sizzling makes your tastebuds weep? if it's hillshire farm, oh, hill yeah.™

cerave facial moisturizing lotions. for petty thefts and minor drug offenses, but attempts to amend or replace the voter approved law is now stirring up debate. experts say there are more effective solutions than dismantling the law or imposing harsher penalties for repeat offenders. they say stable employment is the answer, and it's been shown to reduce the likelihood of reoffending by 60. with us now is ken oliver, who is the vice president of corporate social responsibility at the company checker. ken, thank you so much for joining us. this is very interesting story because, you know, this is really a key measure here in keeping people from from going back in jail again, you know, recommitting offenses. so the prop 47 part of thing is they

really want to amend it so they can, you know, restrict harsher penalties or put harsher penalties on people who commit crimes. tell us a bit about it. >> sure. well, it's important first to back up and understand why prop 47 was enacted in the first place. california was under extreme pressure for sending a whole lot of people to prison for years at a time, at a very high cost, and so they enacted prop 47in 2014. they actually say the only people we should be sending to prison are people for serious and violent crimes, because california spends about $130,000 a year to lock a person up in the prison system. so they thought that by reducing the penalties for petty theft and some of the smaller crimes, they could reduce costs, reduce costs, reduce overcrowding in prisons as well. >> and now, though, they're trying to amend it because because we've seen this recent rash of retail thefts and certain kinds of crime all across the state, we've seen it here in the bay area as well. but but you're saying, you know, you know, putting more, penalties on people who commit these crimes is not necessarily

the answer here. no. what what are you saying? >> it's important to separate reactionary politics from sound public policy. right. so this was a public public policy consideration based on cost to the taxpayers and overcrowding in the prison system, where the feds had to come in and actually put a mandate on california to reduce the prison population. prop 47 was one of the original measures. now, we've seen a rash, but the rash isn't necessarily tied to prop 47. it's tied to what happened at covid when a lot of people lost their jobs. over 2 million people in california lost their jobs, primarily black and brown people and minorities, and some people have tied it to prop 47, though they say the leniency on the on the on that prop is what's causing this. >> but your view is different. >> 100% different. what's causing this is poverty and lack of access. so when people lost jobs coming out of the pandemic, primarily in the service sector, primarily in the hospitality sector, in the food sector, the people who are underserved, the people who live in east oakland and the tenderloin district and other communities are the ones that lost their jobs because there wasn't there wasn't people going into those businesses. and so what we say is, is that locking more people up at a cost of $130,000 a year is not the

answer. we've seen this before with pete wilson, the tough on crime era in the 90s that happened with three strikes and some of those other things. what we're saying is giving people access and providing pathways to livable wage jobs in places like the bay area or los angeles county is the true answer. >> how do you think we should do that? we say that, but what do you think is the road to get there? >> yeah, the road to get there is to take the 130,000 and invest that actually in people, the people of california, through education and job training programs. we were talking earlier about the program in santa rita, where they actually brought the trades into the county jail system to train people to get them access to livable wage jobs and really good paying jobs, not just not just a minimum wage job, livable wage sort of family. >> yeah, that's the key is the key. >> there was some recent data that just came out that said, if you make under $150,000 in san francisco, you're in poverty. so when we think about that, right, when people don't have access to the things that they need to take care of themselves, some of these things occur. >> so in terms of your company checker, are they making any moves now to, to see that people, more people are getting access to work and

opportunities? >> i'm glad you asked. that checker is the leading background check company in america. >> senior billboards all over. yeah but we actually hire more formerly incarcerated people than any tech company in america. >> so what our premise is, is that for your corporate, for the corporate business, for the corporate business, for our own corporate business, so 6% of our population, our employees are just as impacted people who've come out of the prison system. but we believe rather than marginalize those people and not provide them opportunity, we've created apprenticeship programs within our tech company where we bring people straight out of prison. we bring them in, we put them on teams, we train them, we give them a livable wage and get them on the road to middle class wages. >> but how do you transform that? and get that out into into the lawmakers that that are pushing for these laws into the people that can really make the change in these communities to get these rolling? >> actually, lawmakers have been really good in california about criminal justice reform. this particular group, who's pushing this as part of their reactionary, fear based political groups, conservatives who are saying that we should lock everybody up if they stole a pair of jeans out of a gucci store in san francisco, and in reality, the rela association, the retail industry leaders association, they've actually

taken a different approach. they have actually said rather than lock these people up, rather than us testify and prosecute these crimes, why don't we create job training programs for these people and actually take a proactive approach from the business perspective to give people access to what they need? >> can people hear this and they'll, you know, they'll support, you know, reforming prop 47 instead of job training, but what are the stats to show that offering jobs really work in cases of recidivism? >> sure. so when people have access to livable wage jobs, there's a trove of data that shows recidivism goes from about 60% when people are unemployed to single digit numbers when people have livable wages. i, i recently drop yeah, i recently talked to the head programing person at cdcr and they said, can we let 30,000 people out in california in the last 18 months from prison, and 70% of them are unemployed? wow right. so when we see the homelessness population, when we see some of the rise in petty crime, is because people don't have access to the basic, fundamental things, they need to take care of themselves and their families. >> it's interesting too, because we have a low unemployment numbers, but there are people that are not, you know, in the job market because they don't

have the training to get a livable wage 100. >> yeah. one of the privileges that i have at checker is to be able to talk to companies across america and in california about how to onboard fair chance hiring or people who have criminal records and be able to give them opportunities to work in the workforce. >> ken oliver with checker. it's an important topic, one that should not stop here at all. and we'll have more. i'll have a report on the santa cruz jail program next week, but i'm glad you came in to talk to us today about this and bring this up and put it forward with our viewers today. we appreciate your time. all right. thank you. coming up on mornings on two, the nine april's unemployment report reveals a surprising trend. while economists say it fell short of expectations, even though the unemployment rate is holding steady, th

stole a car from right in front of their building. it happened eight days ago at a daycare center on golf links road. police just released this surveillance video. in it, we see two masked men stealing a black sedan parked outside the daycare center. at one point, a worker opens the front door to see what's happening outside. then one of the men points a gun directly at her. >> it was really early in the morning, so i don't think it was too many kids inside at the time, but you know, bullets have no names on them. so if he would have started shooting it would it would be terrible. >> so far, no arrests in this case. >> new data from oakland shows the crime rate is going down. the latest numbers from oakland police say overall crime is down

33% compared to this time last year. specifically, the report shows reductions in violent crimes, including homicides, assaults and burglaries. while the numbers for robberies are still up, 11% overall compared to last year, they have fallen in recent weeks. city leaders credit the revival of the ceasefire program, which returned earlier this year. >> what ceasefire does is it uses police intelligence and community information to identify those at the center of violence who are most at risk of picking up a gun and committing a violent crime. >> officials say the ceasefire program required them to reorganize the police department from being a reactive organization to being a proactive police force. >> happening today, president biden will award the presidential medal of freedom to 19 people, including several with bay area connections. san francisco congresswoman nancy pelosi is among those who will receive the nation's highest civilian honor in a white house ceremony this afternoon. another

40. this morning i spoke to an immigration attorney out of washington, dc, who says he's happy to hear this change. >> this is going to benefit up to 100,000 people, but also their families, and protect them and their families from going into poverty or having adverse health consequences from not having health insurance. so i think this is, you know, a long time coming, but it's a positive development. >> a statement from president biden, in part says, i'm proud of the contributions of dreamers to our country and committed to providing dreamers the support they need to succeed. that's why i've previously directed the department of homeland security to take all appropriate actions to preserve and fortify daca specific here to california. this rule affects a different population than a decision from governor gavin newsom earlier in the year, where he expanded medi-cal to all undocumented immigrants in the state. that's a different program where the government pays for your insurance and gives you basic health care needs. biden's new rule will go into effect in

like to run an arts festival with so many different venues going on all at once? >> well, it's complicated. we were at fort mason for a long time and so we had one relationship with one with one management company, and then they were great partners. and we learned a lot whilst we were there about running multiple venues. now we're back in the mission where every venue has a different management company, so we have to deal with different. everyone does something differently, so we're just sort of learning how to deal with each different component part since it's complicated, but it's fun since you are in a mission district, and i kind of have noticed that there are a lot of latino things for latin history, but there's also other things. >> there's theater. i saw a walking tour which i want to take, where chris carlson walks people to various forgotten spots in the mission, which is industrial area, correct? yeah, that sounds right up my alley. i remember walking around with my grandfather and pointing at the buildings and asking what they were. >> well, chris has been with us

for a number of years, and when we were at fort mason, he had he would tell he would have these nuggets of history that nobody knew. and so he would tell everybody, this is how the republicans saved the bay. and everyone would say, how did that happen? they said, well, it was caspar weinberger and ronald reagan that saved the bay. and he tells the story of how people saved the bay. he won't be doing this this year because it's a new it's a new, it's a new tour for the mission. but he has things like that that people just don't know. and so it's a it's a really entertaining and intriguing and enlightening 1.5 hour walk. >> that sounds great. there's also some dance flamenco in san francisco. i saw this this caught my eye. this is friday, may 10th at eight, and it's theater flamenco of san francisco and their artistic directors names carola zetzsche. >> i mean theater flamenco of san francisco has been around for about 50 years, but she took over in 19, sorry, 20,016. and she's one of these, really innovative choreographers who people think of flamenco as being a traditional type of dance when it is a traditional dance, but she's always trying to figure out how to contemporize it, how to move things forward, how to make it

different. it's a really fascinating performance. i mean, she's they're wonderful movers. they've got live music and but it's just it's just really talking about how diverse it can be. and so i would i would thoroughly recommend people getting tickets for that. >> so some of the events are free and some of the events would be suitable for children. not all of them, but some of them. and there's so much variety, do you keep adding it seems like you even have more this year. >> we do. we landed back in the mission last year, and we thought it was such a long time since we've been there that we just said, okay, let's do something. and this year we started looking around and we're saying, okay, i mean, it's different to fort mason in lots of ways, but one of the ways, as i described earlier, is that if you want to manage a venue at fort mason on a bank holiday weekend, you have to do it yourself. in the mission. there are so many venues you can't possibly manage them all. so we've been going to talk to places like bissap baobab and el rio and red poppy art house and saying, well, you know, let's talk about which artists might be interesting to you. and we're kind of playing matchmaker as

much as we're doing anything else. so we're still producing out of some venues, but in some venues we're just sort of the interface between the artist and the and the venue. so if you're mentioning free shows, the ones at bissap baobab, we have, fanfares and burletta this sunday. that's a free show and it's a balkan music. and also our closing night party is going to be istanbul connection on sunday. on sunday, may the 12th. that's also a free show. andrew before we go, i have one more question for you. >> and that is how would you take the temperature of the san francisco arts movement at the time? is it better than it was the pandemic and everything slowed down? are we back? what's going on? >> yes, i think so. i think in neighborhoods like the mission, i mean, that was the other thing about coming in to the mission from fort mason. you just realize how electrifying it is and just how much power and energy there is there. and there are so many artists and there's so much happening. i think what we're trying to do is figure out, how do we, you know, how do you wire the neighborhood? so it's all kind of coordinated. and this happens once a year where it's a lot of local artists and some international artists all being together and

just checking each other out in the same platform and having people who live in the mission and people from all over the city and from outside coming in to celebrate the arts. at the same time, andrew wood from the san francisco international film, not film, i'm sorry, arts festival. >> i almost slipped there. thank you for coming and my pleasure. it looks like a great program. >> we'll see you with chris carlson on the walk. that's right. >> right. if you would like to see a performance in san francisco international art festival, we made it easy for you. just head to our website, ktvu.com and click on the web link section. still to come, an extraordinary first in the wild. for the first time ever, researchers witness an injured orangutan treating its own wound with a homemade remedy. what it means for our understanding of animal intelligence stay with us ♪ when you have moderate—to—severe eczema, it's okay to show off.
