a fatal police shooting in oakland. what led to a confrontation that ended with the death of a suspect. for the moment an intense waiting game to see if the b.p. oil leak has been stopped in the gulf. roaming the east bay millions of years ago. what they are finding in a tunnel dig. good evening, i'm ann notarangelo. the news starts now. this is cbs5 eyewitness news. a suspect shot dead in the street by officers. both oakland and b.a.r.t police involved in the case and both agencies are trying to sort out exactly what happened. linda yee is in oakland with what we know at this point. >> reporter: hi, ann. people who live in this neighborhood say they saw that suspect running down the street taunting the officers who were chasing him. then suddenly just after 8:00

a.m. this morning shots ran out. parents told their children to hit the floor and oakland police quickly explained why b.a.r.t officers were also involved. oakland police were quick to point out b.a.r.t officers were called in because the suspect armed with a knives knives. two b.a.r.t officers first spotted the suspect walking on east 4th street. >> he was yelling shoot me when the b.a.r.t officers first made contact with him. >> reporter: the man then took off. the b.a.r.t officers chased him for several blocks when oakland police joined in. >> we believe at that point we attempt to tase him. it is not effective. he is continuing to flee and still armed with the knives. >> the man then turned towards one of the officers who had tased him or attempted to tase

him. knife in hand charges the officer. at that point other officers on scene who are there to protect the officer. they discharged their firearm and struck the suspect and falls to the ground and did not survive his wound. >> reporter: a neighbor saw it all. >> the police officer told him stop, stop, stop. and he wept this way, and that way. >> reporter: families in this fruitvale neighborhood is not new. with 80 police officers laid off because of budget problems it makes them even more nervous. >> it is unreal now when you see something like this. >> we are really scared. >> reporter: but she says her fear will not stop her from fighting back even the gang members who threatened her. >> they said we are going to kill you, burn your home. okay, burn my home.

arrived quickly. he was hitting me and i say hit me and i'll call the police. >> you're not afraid of them? >> no, i'm not afraid to die. >> this was the third officer related shooting this year involving a death. in the meantime there are four separate investigations going into the circumstances surrounding the shooting including internal affairs as well as the alameda county district attorney's office. >> i'm not trying to make any comparisons of what happened today with what we saw with oscar grant in 2009 but the one thing is that there is an officer-involved shooting. we hear b.a.r.t police. but it seems in this case there are a lot of witnesses that support what the police did today. am i hearing that correctly? >> reporter: well, there are people who want the police officers here, yes. maybe some people may question what are the b.a.r.t officers doing here but the police were very quick to say we called them an told them about this suspect with the knife and he was going towards the b.a.r.t station. so what falls out of this after this i don't know.

but the police haven't said whether it was b.a.r.t police or oakland police who fired the fatal shot but we do know both agencies did fire at that suspect. >> all right. linda yee in oakland. thank you very much. in stockton two people are dead and five others wounded in what appears to be a gang shooting. police say all seven of the victims were hispanic men. two died at the scene. investigators say although the shooting seems to be gang related they have not been able to confirm gang connections to the victims. they have no suspects in custody. two promising signs from the gulf of mexico. oil stopped spewing and no sign of leaks. but the road to recovery will be a long one. >> reporter: ann, so far so good with that oil below. that cap is holding. the pressure is holding. and they are encouraged by the way things are going so far. and no oil is gushing into the

gulf. no new leaks and no busted well. so far b.p.'s experimental cap is preventing any more oil from gushing into the water. >> the longer the test goes the more confidence we have in it. >> reporter: for two days engineers monitored the temperature around the well. they have found to ruptures in the sea floor. b.p. will continue their tests through sunday. even once the well is capped for good, gulf residents know they have a long way to go before getting back to normal and they are anxious to move forward. >> we are definitely not seeing the tourism. >> reporter: dina runs a farmer's market in mississippi. she says the oil has brought a sense of tread to town. just like hurricane katrina. despite the economic hardships caused by the spill it was still a busy saturday at the market. vendors say this is an important time to support their

community. >> what motivates you to do all this. >> it is just the love of this area. >> reporter: locals are still too nervous to be hopeful about an end to the spill but they won't let it drive them away from their way of life. also, cbc news has learned that b.p. has been offering lucrative contracts to local scientists and researchers in the gulf area but, ann, the catch is that they are not allowed to share or publicly discuss their findings related to the oil spill for at least three years. >> but the idea is they are looking into how severe this spill was and the effects it had on the area? >> absolutely. yeah. they want to gather up the local knowledge and keep it reported to be b.p. you can suggest that it is an effort to control the public relations image and to control any negative information that may flow out of here. >> that will be interesting to see what happens in three years. let me ask you about something else. obviously any good news is

wonderful for the locals but how far away are they from getting a permanent fix to this spewing oil? >> reporter: the permanent fix they have maintained all along. the relief well that they are drilling. and those have always been believed to be finished in august. that's a little hazy. build relief wells and then you can permanently plug up the damaged part of that well and they would of course take away the pressure. that's always been talked about for being mid-august. we will see. things have been delayed so often in the past month. we will see if they stick to that schedule. >> thank you for the update. >> you're welcome. digging the fourth bore of a tunnel yielding fossils up to 10 million years old. fossilized animals. scientists expect to find more once a giant boring machine

fog and low cloud socked in there. as much as 30 degrees plus cooler out at the beaches. not a bad evening tonight. cool out toward the coastline because you've got that patchy fog inside the bay seeing mostly cloudy skies. a little bit on the breezy side. still warm temperatures inland, clear skies and should be nice and warm for the better part of the evening hours. looking hot many spots inland. 90s. maybe upper 90s well inland. lots of sunshine there. inside the bay you'll find temperatures running a little more mild. 60s and low 80s in toward the santa clara valley. patchy fog likely to persist. it has been the story. low clouds and fog kind of hanging out towards the beaches keeping you cool here. much hotter weather inland. 89 degrees in livermore. 87 in fairfield. 61 degrees and breezy with that fog making its way into san

francisco. you'll find the heat in the central valley. 100 in sacramento. looks like high pressure is going to hang out for another day or so. as the ridge breaks down, guess what we will see cooler temperatures. again, we are stuck with that valley heat and the cool coast side. pretty typical summer like weather pattern in the bay area. starting out tomorrow we have got low cloud and fog early on. 8:00 a.m. in the morning. a lot of fog inside the bay. but the afternoon computer models want to break it up pretty good although i think we will still see patchy fog. keeping you cool right on the coast. planning on 50s to 60s on the water's edge. 70s and 80s. maybe even as high as 92 in morgan hill. east bay temperatures seeing some numbers really spike. north bay those temperatures running up into the 70s and 80s. maybe as high as 91.
