a gun at the nearby balboa theater earlier in the week. the rabbi says he is worried about the nearby jewish school. >> two weeks ago, someone drew a swastika at the school down the block. i don't know if it's this person, a different person. what if this person next time comes with a real gun with real bullets or with a knife? anser: the rabbi says they only called the police thursday morning because those who were there wednesday night feared retaliation. they plan to have extra security for friday's shabbat, the jewish sabbath which runs through saturday. the fbi is also involved and asking for help to identify the men. in the newsroom, anser hassan, abc7 news. ama: let's go outside now. we are going to take a live look from our east bay hills camera. after that long break from the rain, it is coming right back and it looks like it will be here to stay this weekend. dan: let's get to sandhya patel

care he needs and then when he is absolutely ready, we will start hiking again because that is what we do. we are an outdoor loving family and this experience will not take that away from us. i think it's important to not be afraid of mountain lines but to take care and be alert when they are in their habitat." tonight, neighbors and one area of san francisco are begging the city to step in after an uptick in alleged sex work in the neighborhood. many are reporting gunshots, fights and solicitation keeping the neighborhood awake at all hours. luz pena spoke sfpd on what they are doing to tackle this issue and this is a story you will see only on 7. >> hiding at home and documenting what happens out their window has become a nightly occurrence. >> it is friday, january 27 on cap street. and it's about

bad situation for people, it's a consequence of bad governance of the city, but it is not ok. and then i say, well, and we are trying to do something, the neighbors are trying to do something, so that he knows that you cannot just let it be. >> she says an environment of crime led to them getting burglarized recently. >> lock ourselves in my sons closet and called the police. when i try to understand what had happened and looked at the cameras of that night, there were people having sex on the stairs of going up to my front door at around the same time of this. so it's not that it's the prostitutes that are breaking into houses, it's that it's the environment that this creates is awful. it's like you can do anything you want on cap because nobody's going to do anything about it. >> sfpd's mission state

cap says they've made multiple arrests but they are limited in what they can do. governor newsom signed a state law from scott wiener decriminalizing -- that appears to be sex work. >> -- in an effort to kind of address the johns that are coming in, the customers that are coming into the district. unfortunately, there have been some recent legislation that has been passed by our state senator which has now made loitering for the purpose of prostitution no longer a criminal offense. so our hands have been tied. >> the supervisor visited cap street last friday night and is now making this her top priority. >> i just have never seen this situation so dangerous and so out of control. >> supervisor ronan says she would like san francisco to legalize sex work in designated butthe ti-he future. >> next week, we are going to put up barricades on cap street between 22nd and 18th street.
