now the fbi is involved. kiet do shows us how a traffic stop escalated into a shootout and then a bomb scare and much more. >> reporter: ann, i want to show just how violent it was out here in oakland early this morning. if you push in here very quickly you see those paper bags leaned up against the guardrail. they are filled with assault rifles and weapons. all the weapons that were used by chp officers in that gun battle early this morning. they have been taken for evidence. balistics experts will be examining them later on today. before we get to the report i want to show you some home video that was posed on youtube of that gun fight and neighbors say it sounded like the wild west. >> just when the chp was getting ready to clear the scene investigators found a suspicious looking package,

called the bottom -- called the bomb squad. and a few hours later -- it is unclear exactly what it was. the bomb squad also found material of interest. given the amount of weaponry and possible explosives found the fbi showed up. after all this drama no one is taking any chances. >> this incident that took place is absolutely every officer's worst nightmare. >> at midnight sunday morning chp officers pulled over the white toyota tundra which was driving eratically on 580 westbound in oakland. an officer walked up to the truck on the passenger side. >> in which he observed the suspect reach for a handgun and he starts firing shots at the officer as the officer is retreating back to the patrol car. >> reporter: suspect was armed with lots of ammo and guns. they opened fire with everything they had including

assault weapons of their own. at least 60 rounds were fired. >> he would get back into the truck then lean out and fire multiple shots and get back into the truck. >> reporter: the suspect was wearing a bullet proof vest. he got hit multiple times in the arms an legs. two officers were cut in the face by flying glass as bullets shattered windows. amazing no officers were seriously hurt given the .222 caliber bullets pierced the doors of the patrol cars. >> where he was going there is no doubt his intent was to cause serious harm to either someone or a group of people. >> reporter: an fbi spokes american is not immediately available. we would like to know is whether or not this is a possible domestic terror investigation. also, the suspect is right now in serious but stable condition at highland hospital. he is said to be a two striker, quicked felon with an extensive criminal history. finally here 580 webb is still

closed after 17 hours. it should be open any moment now. back to you, ann. >> so at this point they say that they think he was heading somewhere to do some sort of harm or are they just assuming that? do they know anything? >> they are being very tight lipped at this point. they are saying that they are not surprised that he was going to cause harm to an individual or a group of people. that's pretty much all i can say at this point. >> they have got a lot of things to figure out. kiet do, thank you very much. >> what we are now learning the identity of a man shot and killed by police officers in oakland. he is 48-year-old fred collins of oakland. yesterday morning police were called about a man armed with a knife. two b.a.r.t officers spotted him and chased him. when police arrived they tried to use a taser on him. but he didn't stop and they had to open fire. he was pronounced dead at the

scene. a tighter budget for the oakland police department is spurring more citizen action. today the guardian angels hit the streets. last week 80 oakland police officers were laid off. 130120 additional officers could lose their jobs as well. now citizen groups are patrolling the city. >> instead of sitting around complaining, get up, help the community. you can help the police department as well. you could be their eyes and ears. and you don't have to wear a uniform. we are beefing up patrols because we still feel we need to and we want to. >> the guardian angels are trying to recruit volunteers. an estimated 25,000 walkers raised more than $3 million for bay area aids organization. the aids walk san francisco took place this morning in golden gate park along a six-

mile route. it will support local hiv prevention and testing services at 60 bay area aids organizations. organizers say the walk shows spirit and compassion and participants agree and say the walk shows that they are not alone. >> it feels good because it is like i'm not the only one that is affected by it, you know. i know my family is but other people who lost people -- as long as everybody comes together then we can fight this. >> aids walk san francisco has raised more than $76 million since 1987 and is now the largest aids fund-raising event in northern california. planning to car pool across the golden gate bridge tomorrow? well, you're going to need fast track. starting with tomorrow's commute. cash will no longer be accepted for car pools. the only way to pay the reduced $3 toll is with a fast track

tag. car poolers will need to pass through a toll booth so that a toll worker can verify there are three or more people in the car. closing for good on fulton avenue and mini drive. staffing levels will be reduced at the remaining stations. instead of 18 firefighters on duty there will be 15 during each shift. vallejo filed for bankruptcy in '08 and since that time it has also lost a third of its police officers. if it isn't broke don't fix it. that's the motto right now in the gulf of mexico where the cap over the damaged oil well is holding steady. this is a live look underwater and as you can see the leak is plugged. b.p. will not do anything different unless the situation changes. >> reporter: b.p. decided to not mess with success and not make any changes until a permanent well is in place next month. >> we are hopeful that if the

encouraging signs continue we will be able to continue the integrity test all the way to the point that we get the well killed. >> but the final decision on whether to keep the cap closed rests with the government which could still choose to pipe the oil to ships on the surface. that option would relieve pressure on the broken well but it could also lead to millions of gallons of oil spilling back into the gulf. both sides downplaying the apparent contradiction in plans. with no oil flowing for the first time crews are cleaning up more crude than is being released and even though the gulf beaches aren't as clouded as they usually are more people did turn out to get a break from the heat. >> fishermen were back now that the recreational waters there are open again. in mississippi where far less oil has washed up on shore families waited and played in the warm water. >> i was a little concerned. i haven't been out and i

thought the oil maybe glued to the bottom but it is natural water. >> we want people to come and enjoy it. there is nothing wrong here. >> reporter: the oil spill is still on everyone's mind and they know they likely have years to go before it is gone for years. cbc news, long beach mississippi. two powerful earthquakes shook the south pacific today. they struck off the island nation measuring 6.9 followed by a 7.3 quake. a tsunami warning was briefly issued by there are no reports of any damage or deaths. an animal shelter suddenly overwhelmed. coming up dozens of bay area pets desperately looking for a home. plus a bargain hunter's paradise. big ambitions. i'm meteorologist lawrence

i think by the middle of the week we are talking about below normal temperatures. high of about 70 degrees. 79 in santa clara. east bay temperatures still hot in places like antioch and brentwood. 91 into livermore. 782 in sonoma. next couple days cooling things down. trough of low pressure swinging in along the coastline come tuesday and thursday. that will help to deepen the marine layer and drove off temperatures a bit. probably seeing a little more comfort and little bit below normal as we round out the week. >> dennis, been a couple weeks. hello. >> been one week. but if it feels like two that's probably a good thing. golf. would tiger make his move and could anybody catch the guy louis oosthuizen? that's his name. at the british open. was he safe or out? the answer is coming up next. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
