11:02 pm
forecast. good evening. a lot of questions, not many answers tonight after a rare and deadly mountain lion attack. it happened this afternoon in eldorado county in the sierra foothills out here. two brothers were hiking about 20 miles east of auburn looking for deer antlers that had been shed. there's a market for those antlers. around 1:00 an 18-year-old man called the sheriff's office saying he and his 20-year-old brother had been attack. when deputies got there they found the younger brother with traumatic injuries to his face. after a search they found the other brother with the mountain lion next to him. they fired guns to scare off the big cat. the older brother was dead. no word tonight how the younger brother is doing, but officials say attacks like this are extremely rare. >> all the time we'll get sightings. even working patrol i'll see a mountain lion in the path of my car. but a sighting like this is
11:03 pm
extremely rare. >> this was the first deadly mountain lion attack in california in 20 years. though over the years we have seen several nonfatal attacks here in the pay area, 2014 a mountain lion attacked a 6-year-old on a trail in cupertino. the boy was liking with a large group when the animal jumped out, grabbed the child by the neck and dragged him into a bush. adults scared it off. and wildlife officials shot it days later. in 2020 the animal came out of the bushes and grabbed her cat. the girl's okay. wildlife officials later tracked down that lion, confirmed it was the same involved and euthanized it. last year a 5-year-old boy was attacked while hiking with his parents on a trail. the boy got ahead of the rest of the group, walked right into three mountain lions, a mom and two younger cubs. that's when one of the younger cats attacked scratching the boy. dna testing confirmed a mountain
11:04 pm
lion was responsible. that animal was never found. okay, let's switch gears right now. taking a live look outside at san francisco, oakland, and san jose. looking a little misty out there. rob mayeda is joining us now. we have rain, sunshine, a lot of stuff. what's going to happen tomorrow? >> tracking downpours. two day rain totals across the bay area. more than an inch of rain. we expect that with a storm of this type. but look at danville, san jose, hayward. a few spots closing in on an inch of rain since friday. and still the rain coming down right now in downtown san jose. downtown san jose next 15 minutes or so this rain continues to push off to the south and east. scattered showers generally as we move further north including the tri-valley and dublin. this will be the pattern moving into sunday. we still have to get these
11:05 pm
showers moving down the coast. that will keep the chance and areas around the santa cruz mountains might get close to a third of an inch to half an inch tomorrow, and still a chance we could have isolated thunder and more hail could be in the forecast at times for sunday. wind speeds also increasing tomorrow afternoon. we'll have a closer look at the last of those weekend showers in the hour by hour forecast, and two more storms on the way in the seven-day forecast coming up in ten minutes. >> look forward to it, rob. thank you. and after all the rain, ah, yes, a beautiful rainbow. this one over east san jose. this one shared with us by our former coworker. scan that qr code on the left side of your screen, it'll take you straight to our radar. new at 11:00 some cal parents are concerned about student safety so they took action raising money to bring private security to uc berkeley.
11:06 pm
the program is over so now they're working to get the university to expand the program. >> reporter: for the past 2 1/2 weeks private security guards have been patrolling on and around the uc berkeley campus wearing yellow fluorescent vests. they've actually been provided for by parents and community members who say they're trying to make the campus safer. the early morning hours of saturday morning marked the end of a new pilot program where a group of private security guards staffed a span of several blocks around a uc berkeley campus from 6:30 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. >> it went really well. we brought in a total of six safety ambassadors. >> reporter: the guards were funded by safe bears, a non-profit made up mostly of cal parents who raised $40,000 to rye out this concept and address safety concerns. the group organized to find solution after an incident in october 2022. >> because one month after i dropped my kids off for school, a gun battle happened right
11:07 pm
outside their dorms leaving one person dead. >> reporter: the shooting left three others hurt, though none of the people involved were cal students. after the university hired private security to patrol the area, safe bears say they want the university to provide that security for the long-term. >> they provided escorts to students who needed them, security escorts. they provided directions. they also were a very visible deterrent to crime. >> i think it's definitely a good thing to have more security staff. >> reporter: other cal students say they never saw the guards but support the initiative. >> i think as an entire community as a whole i think we can do a better job to make sure it's safe for everybody around the area. >> reporter: uc berkeley which has its own campus police and safety initiative did not respond to our request for comment. they'll present their findings to the administration in hopes more private security guards get hired to be on campus in the future. alissa gourd, nbc, bay area news. last call for double-doubles
11:08 pm
in oakland. it's the last weekend for the city's only in-n-out burger. it's closing because of safety concerns. it's an area that's been hit hard by crime. other businesses including a denny's and black bear diner have also closed recently. the mayor says the city is working with county and state leaders to make the corridor safe again. in vunesia a cultural celebration took a stand against a controversial game. for the last two decades high schoolers have bladed border patrol. older students chase and capture younger students and drop them off in unknown locations against their will. it's not only dangerous but offensive, which is why the issue was part of today's latino and indigenous celebration of spring put on by the aid coalition, the school district, library, and local chapter of black lives matter. >> what we're trying to do is
11:09 pm
just bring some education and understanding into the community, some cultural diversity and hope we can eradicate this. >> the festival also featured music, food, art, and performances. families were encouraged to come and spread the message that cultural incensety is not welcome in benicia. the 3 month old overdosed on fentanyl last year and now lawmakers are taking action introducing a new state bill aimed at protecting more young children. nbc bay area's mary anne favro reports from san jose. >> reporter: he's charged after his daughter died of fentanyl poisoning. one state senator introduced new legislation he hopes will prevent other tragedies. phoenix castro was just 3 months old when she died of fentanyl
11:10 pm
poisoning in may 2023. county officials say both police and child protective services responded to the apartment several times in the months before the child died but never removed baby phoenix from the home. 18-month-old winter reo also died of fentanyl poisoning in her parent's san jose home. records show she had 15 times the lethal amount of fentanyl in her blood. her parents are facing charges in connection with her death. in response to those deaths state senator dave cortezi has introduced new legislation to establish statewide policies to protect the state's youngest children from fentanyl exposure. >> clearly we're starting to see incidents and in some cases fatal like with baby phoenix where anything we can do to establish best practices, guidelines what to do, what not to do and export that across 58 counties so all of california is
11:11 pm
treating this the same way as a crisis that it is. >> reporter: cortese says he wants state health leaders to focus on determining when it's appropriate for children under 5 to return to live with parents who have substance abuse cases. >> with this particular age group when you're talking about a baby 6 month old or a year old or a toddler, there may be need to more of a cooling down period before there's reunification. >> i'm as a general rule pro any fentanyl legislation. >> reporter: she lost her son to fentanyl in 2014. while she supports new legislation to fight fentanyl, she believes this bill is too vague. >> i believe we need to see what more of the legislation spells out. i think it's important to protect kids under 5 from fentanyl especially if their parents have fentanyl-laced
11:12 pm
drugs in their house that are easily reachable. >> reporter: but she does agree offering statewide guidelines is a better strategy than each county implementing their own. in san jose marianne favro, nbc bay area newsmism. we're back in 60 seconds. and just ahead picking a fight over pickle ball. the feud in the east bay over a new court not supposed to be built. and it's going to cross more to cross the bay area's iconic bridge. going to tell you about the toll hikes coming to the golden gate. and track roaming downpours around the bay area as showers continue. how much more of this can you expect for your sunday? and as we head into the n

11:14 pm
take a live look at the golden gate bridge. for starters let's talk about traffic northbound there. an accident out there slowing things down as you can see. you can see the flashing lights out there mid-span they're working on clearing that traffic. moving but also slow right now. also on the golden gate bridge it's going to cost you more to cross that bridge. yesterday the authorities that oversee that bridge voted to approve toll increases. the first hike comes in july. that's when the bridge toll goes up from the current $8.75 to $9.25 for those using fast track. it's more if you have a pay-as-you-go account or if you pay by invoice. if they're not done with the increases with that one, the toll will increase 50 cents every summer through 2028. so come 2028 it's going to cost you $11.25 to cross the golden gate bridge. wow. the beef continues tonight over an apparent pickle ball
11:15 pm
take over at a popular east bay venue. the developer who leases the venue installed it for a tournament. that's despite city leaders rejecting a proposal to open a pickle ballpark at the venue last year. the developer has a new proposal in the works but was not supposed to build the courts at least not yet. protesters say this move by the developer is troubling them. >> the people that are using this right now, you know, have no permit, they have no license. it's all -- it's all done basically flying in the face of any kind of city enrichment restrictions. unfortunately the city is not doing anything about it. >> on thursday the city's vice mayor told us the developer said this event is a stand alone and no different than other events held at that venue. we haven't received a comment from the venue yet. a special tribute to some of
11:16 pm
the original rosie the riveters. it event brings women who serve as rosies during world war ii. they stepped into jobs seen as men's work when all the men were out fighting in the war. one of the rosies there is marryanne sousa. >> i want the word to be out for the younger people that we were a group that stepped forward, women stepped forward when it was necessary to continue the war work. the men were gone, the work had to be done, and we did it. >> they were famous. they had a song written about them. it was great. many rosies brought family and friends. sousa attended the event with her two daughters, three grand
11:17 pm
daughters, even a great-granddaughter. several of the rosies there will also attend a congressional ceremony in washington, d.c. next month. a live look across the bay. and whoa, that's cleared up. that's cleared up a lot since the last time we were looking across there. if you were driving across during the rain you may have seen this. that is not some graphic we had put together from the art department, folks. this is from viewer dave osgood. he snapped this picture of a double rainbow over san francisco's embarcadero. thanks for sharing with us. that is beautiful shot. bob here to talk about all the things that cause beautiful rainbows. we may have some tomorrow. >> you get that rain coming through and sunshine showers. we're going to be watching the chances of rain at times and maybe chances of thunderstorms as you wrap up the weekend. let's take a look how things are shaping up right now.
11:18 pm
san jose, still rainy. actually this has been a good performer for san jose. closing in on close to an inch of rain since friday. right now sfo visibility pretty good. 53 degrees, rain showers moving down the peninsula. into the south bay currently, rain on approach to contra costa county and alameda county. inland out towards tri-valley. well-see show you that in a moment. and as we head towards tomorrow morning a repeat of what we had today. morning temperatures upper 40s and low 50s. showers at times. one change tomorrow will be the wind speeds. you'll see this coming up hour by hour speeds turning gusty on coast during the afternoon. high temperatures tomorrow upper 50s san francisco, near 60 oakland and 61 degrees and low 60s down into san jose. let's first talk about those winds. watch the color coding here on the coast as we head towards mid-afternoon. wind speeds of about 20 to 35 miles per hour.
11:19 pm
that is more than what we had today. watch for that san francisco coast and along the north bay coast into the afternoon. this time tomorrow night wind speeds will start to come down. right now, though, the rain is coming down san jose, cupertino, stanford, palo alto right there. look at those downpours right there heading up livermore and caster valley. and not so much in it north bay. as we widen out the view for you you can see how these showers continue to rotate through the bay area. the next batch dropping down the coast. heading into tomorrow morning the trend we saw today with the bigger rain totals around the santa cruz mountains and south bay probably going to hold up tomorrow morning. and then for a time showers back off for a bit and add in the daytime heating and likely have those conexecutive showers popping up during the afternoon. and close to san jose from about
11:20 pm
2:00 in the afternoon until about 5:00. and then the dryer air comes inch and right now dry stays in the week monday into tuesday. you can see high clouds there. tuesday probably the warmest day of the week. more sunshine for tuesday. but here we go, two more storms to talk about, one coming in on wednesday. probably not as much rain as we're seeing right now, and should move through pretty quickly. now stay tuned. friday's storm system looks pretty potent there. as you notice it's got that curl offshore, an area of low pressure would have more wind and potentially more rain and a lot of sierra snow. again, you should be surprised at this point. it's going to bring more rain and snow for next weekend. so you've got this storm winding down. monday and tuesday we start to clear out a bit, and then we've got some rain coming back into the middle part of the week. and wouldn't be a weekend if we didn't have a storm rolling in for those outdoor plans. right now friday into saturday could have some gusty winds and heavy rain. we'll be watching that closely next week.
