5:03 am
surveillance room were broken and the computers were stolen. no officers though were hit in the shooting. and around the same time, a 45-year-old man was shot to death in downtown oakland in front of a dental clinic. this happened about 11:30 at 19th and webster. police aren't sure what happened. they believe it may be a robbery or a carjacking gone wrong. no arrests have been made. the motive is still a mystery. a man opened fire on westbound 580, some lanes shut down for 20 hours. the gunman had some suspicious stuff in his truck that they say had to be blown up. turned out to be a three-ring binder with the word california written on it. anne makovec is in oakland now with more on who this man is and what he was armed with and what his mother says about a
5:04 am
motive. good morning, anne. reporter: the main concern for a lot of viewers is 580. the good news is that it is open right now all lanes. the westbound lanes were closed yesterday for about 21 hours as officers continued to investigate this. it started as a simple traffic stop and then ended with the bomb squad. and the investigation now turns to what the man who started this may have been planning. one of the alarming items in his truck, the binder with the word "california" on the truck and a suspicious package that the bomb squad blew up. the chp says it started when a 45-year-old from groveland was seen weaving in and out of traffic 580 westbound near grand avenue in oakland at midnight on saturday. after officers finally pulled him over, a shootout ensued. here's a witness description. >> it was just boom, boom,
5:05 am
boom, boom, boom in quick succession, just a ton of gunfire, lasted probably 25 minutes. i was estimating probably 200 to 300 shots. at first i didn't think it was gunshots. i thought they were firecrackers there were so many of them. >> reporter: byron williams is in the hospital this morning. he was wearing a bulletproof vest but he was shot several times. his mother reportedly told somebody from the "san francisco chronicle" that's a convicted felon, he was angry at what he called left wing politics. also angry at corporations. and he is now under arrest on suspicion of attempted murder. two officers were also injured during that shootout not by bullets but from flying glass t really is lucky that nobody else was injured with all of those shots being fired as you just heard that witness describe. and then though scary items found in his truck. the fbi is now investigating what that man may have been up to. sydnie. >> anne, thank you very much. it's 5:05. there is a rally that is
5:06 am
planned in walnut creek today in support of johannes mehserle. he is the former bart police officer convicted of involuntary manslaughter for the death of oscar grant. walnut creek police are preparing to keep the peace at the rally. it runs from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. this afternoon outside the superior court building. at this point there are no plans to close ignacio valley road or other streets in the area. mehserle will be sentenced in november. he said he accidentally pulled his gun instead of a taser while trying to detain grant in oakland. if you are planning to carpool across the golden gate bridge this morning, listen up, you need fastrak. starting with this morning's commute, cash will no longer be accepted for carpools crossing the golden gate. the only way to pay the $3 toll is with a fastrak transponder. also, carpools will need to pass through staffed toll booth so the worker can verify that there are three or more people

5:11 am
out quickly. bp's's chief operating officer hoped that the cap could stay in place until a relief well can be drilled. >> we're hopeful that if the encouraging scenes will be continued, we'll be able to continue the integrity test all the way to the point that we get the well killed. no one wants to see oil flowing back into the sea and to reinitiate containment would require that to occur. >> federal officials will decide just how to proceed. they might decide to pump more oil to surface ships to relieve pressure. but that would mean more oil flowing into the gulf for a few days. well, bp gave us an update this morning on the cost of dealing with the spill. the oil company says it has spent nearly $4 billion so far. it has paid $207 million to settle individual damage claims. about 116,000 claims have been submitted and payments have been made on 67,000 of them.

5:32 am
at the bay gorgeous, mostly sunny with an afternoon breeze. sunny skies and hot inland. we were looking at triple-digit highs a couple of days ago. gradual cooldown from the mid- 90s to the upper 80s then mid- to upper 80s by the end of the week. we go from coastal temperatures don't fluctuate. that's a look at your weather. back up to you. this morning, oakland police still trying to figure out who fired shots from a high- rise at 11:30 last night on 8th street. some officers were arresting passengers from a traffic stop when they heard the sound of gunfire nearby. they believe the shots came from a rifle from a nearby apartment building. >> after we locked down the building, we sent in officers
5:33 am
and searched the building. >> that search turned up no weapons or suspects. they found that the building surveillance room was vandalized. no officers were hitting in the shooting. more information is being released about the man behind a shootout on interstate 580. that shootout led to the freeway being closed in oakland for about 20 hours. anne makovec is in oakland where the fbi has now joined in the investigation. anne, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. they are trying to figure out what this guy might have been up to. we do know this is the thing that's going to affect all of our viewers, or a lot of them, 580 is now re-opened. it was closed for about 22 hours and there was some concern that this could last longer as far as the investigation. the westbound lanes of 580 closed since midnight on saturday all the way through last night. then part of 980 was shut down as well off and on so the highways are re-opening but this started as a simple traffic stop and end with the
5:34 am
bomb squad yesterday. the investigation is now turning to what the man who started this may have been planning. one of the alarming items found in his truck, a binder with the word california on the front and a suspicious package that the bomb squad blew up. the chp said it started when byron williams a 45-year-old from grover land was seen weaving in and out of traffic on 580 westbound near grand avenue in oakland midnight saturday. after officers finally pulled him over, a shootout ensued. [ sound of gunshots ] [sound of yelling ] >> back up, back up, back up. >> what took place is absolutely every officer's worst nightmare. wherever he was going, there was no doubt his intent was to cause serious harm to someone
5:35 am
or a group of people. >> reporter: he is in the hospital. he was actually wearing a bulletproof vest during the shootout but he was shot several times. he is a convicted felon and his mother has told the "san francisco chronicle" that he was angry at left wing politics and frustrated because he couldn't find a job. she says that the guns he used were probably hers, that she was keeping them for the revolution in the future. he is now arrested for attempted murder and two chp officers were also injured in the shootout. you saw all those broken windows on the cars. they were injured by glass, not bullets. they are expected to be okay. >> thank you, anne makovec in oakland. and oakland police have released the identity of a man who was shot and killed over the weekend during a confrontation with officers. investigators say 48-year-old fred collins of oakland had been arrested in the past for incidents including terrorist threats and assaults on officers. collins led police on a chase
5:36 am
that ended saturday morning on 33rd avenue. they say they tried to subdue collins with tasers, but he had a knife in each hand and began charging an officer so police open fired. bart police were also involved because the incident happened near the transit agency's fruitvale station. a rally is planned today in walnut creek in support of johannes mehserle a former bart police officer convicted of involuntary manslaughter. walnut creek police are preparing to keep the peace at the rally. it's scheduled from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. this afternoon outside the superior court building. at this point there are no plans to close ignacio valley road or other streets in the area. mehserle is awaiting sentencing for last year's death of oscar grant. he said he accidentally pulled his gun instead of a taser while trying to detain grant in oakland. now that layoffs have reduced the oakland police force by 80 officers, volunteers are stepping up
5:37 am
efforts. yesterday the guardian angels hit the streets. the group of unarmed crime patrollers was founded in new york in 1979. the local chapter says it's times like these when citizens need to step up. >> instead of sitting around complaining, get up, help the community. you can help the police department, as well. you can be their eyes and ears and you don't have to wear this uniform. we're beefing up patrols because we feel that need to to and because we want to. >> guardian angels are now trying to recruit more volunteers to join the effort in oakland. if you are planning to carpool across the golden gate bridge this morning, you will need fastrak. starting with this morning's commute, cash will no longer be accepted for carpools crossing the golden gate. the only way to pay the $3 toll is with a fastrak transponder. also, carpools will need to pass through staffed toll booths because toll workers need to verify that there are actually three or more people in the cars.
5:38 am
vallejo firefighters about to close two stations at 8:00 this morning. stations 25 and 26 are closing for good. they are on minnie drive and fulton avenue. staffing levels will be reduced at the remaining stations so instead of 18 firefighters on duty, there will be 15 during each shift. vallejo filed for bankruptcy in 2008. 61 people are dead after an express train crashed into a stationary passenger train in eastern india. the impact of today's crash so powerful that it sent the roof of one car flying on to a nearby overpass. rescuers had to use heavy equipments to free some of of the survivors from the wreckage. this happened two months after a derailment in india killed 145 people. investigators determined that was a case of sabotage and they are not ruling that out for today's crash. tension growing this morning between bp and the government over what to do next
5:39 am
with that broken oil well in the gulf of mexico. tara mergener on the new problem that appears to have surfaced. reporter: bp has been given another 24 hours to keep its containment cap on the ruptured well in the gulf. the government's point man for the disaster admiral thad allen gave the go-ahead after the company promised to closely monitor the sea floor for signs of a new leak. in a letter to bp sunday, allen referred to seepage detected near the well and ordered the company to quickly investigate and report findings to the government and provide a written procedure for opening the choke valve as quickly as possible. since the well was capped last thursday, official have been worried the pressure build-up would cause oil or methane gas to begin pouring out. earlier sunday, bp's chief operating officer had expressed hope the cap could stay put until a relief well could permanently seal the leak next month. >> we are hopeful that if the
5:40 am
encouraging signs continue we'll be able to continue the integrity test to the point we'll be able to kill the well. >> reporter: federal officials will ultimately decide what to do next. the original plan was to pipe more oil to surface ships to leave the pressure but that would mean more oil flowing into the gulf for up to three days. >> no one wants to see more oil flowing into the sea and that would make that occur. >> reporter: gulf coast residents are holding their breath every step of the way. >> we are very optimistic. we see light at the end of the tunnel. it's a very long tunnel. but we're making progress. >> reporter: progress they hope isn't stalled by the potential new trouble on the ocean floor. tara mergener for cbs news, washington. at least three homes are destroyed as a 10,000 acre wildfire rages in the state of washington. strong winds yesterday pushed the fire across hillsides west of yakima forcing the evacuations of several homes. most of those people have since
5:41 am
been allowed to return. more than 200 firefighters battled the flames yesterday and another 100 are expected to join the effort today. there are no reports of serious injuries. the cause remains unclear. the oakland city council today is going to consider granting licenses to four production plants where marijuana would be grown around packaged. some existing medical pot businesses are concerned that the industrial-sized competitors will force them to shut down. they compare the proposal with big box stores driving mom and pop stores out of business. supporters of the plan say it would reduce costs for consumers. large companies would also produce pot-related items like body oil and cookies, brownies, caramels, candy... that's a story over the weekend. they make everything now. >> so if this law passes in
5:42 am
november, there will be potcos all over the place. >> so we better watch the cookies people bring in, in the morning that we eat? >> there you go.
