more layoffs could be on the way at a bay area tech giant, the announcement expected this week. the recent rain in california is helping grass and brush grow, but all that new vegetation could help fuel wildfires. now one bay area county is taking an aggressive approach to fire prevention. >> john ramos on the plan to target one particularly dangerous type of tree. >> reporter: eucalyptus trees were brought to this country in the 1800s. it was believed their lumber could be the next california gold rush. it didn't work out that way, but today in an era of catastrophic wildfires these trees are increasingly being seen as a public menace. pick any season and eucalyptus trees are causing problems in. wet weather they're the trees most likely to fall and cause damage and when the hot dry winds begin whipping up wildfires, the oily leaves make them go up like a roman candle. >> some people believe eucalyptus trees just explode

on their own and they don't. >> reporter: mark brown has a lot of experience with the trees as executive officer for the marin wildfire authority. he says what's often the biggest danger is not what's high up in the tree. >> you'll notice the higher you get up, there's less bark that's on it. >> reporter: it's the bark that sloughs off and lands on the ground that acts as both kindling and a ladder fuel to send flames up into the canopy, at the same time becoming embers that are picked up by the wind and it is this area on a ridge above san rafael causing the most concern. >> our biggest concern is on a diablo wind day we get a fire within that grove and eucalyptus trees can create huge embers that go up in the air and they can go miles down wind. we literally could have a fire that happens in san rafael, have those embers saturday landing in san anselmo and burn through the mount tam watershed. >> reporter: marin county approved an aggressive plan to

lessen the danger. they will begin removing any eucalyptus trees in a 150-acre area that are ten inches in diameter or less and cleaning out the area underneath. that will leave only the larger trees with higher canopies, reducing the risk of ignition. >> it's a much more aggressive approach than a shaded fuel break. however, with the number of large diameter eucalyptus trees that we are going to leave, there still will be shade in that area, but we're also going to allow some of the native trees to regrow in that area. >> reporter: but eucalyptus don't go quietly. chop one down and new trees sprout from the stump. so after each tree is removes, the remaining stump must be brushed with an herbicide to prevent regrowth. >> eucalyptus dreams are ground sprouting trees. when you start removing them, if you don't treat them with herbicides, you'll have more trees to replace the ones removed. >> reporter: eucalyptus were brought here because they grew

fast and spread quickly. it seemed like a good idea, but marin county is now dealing with a problem that took root over a century ago. >> the project will begin in a few months, but it could take several years to complete. it's estimated more than 16,000 trees will be removed in this operation. major credit card companies will now flag gun and ammunition purchases. cbs news has learned visa, mastercard, and american express will assign a code to retailers to track each gun or ammo sale. that will help companies comply with the new california law that allows banks to flag suspicious purchases and share that information with authorities. they hope that law enforcement will be able to detect potentially suspicious patterns to prevent mass shootings. a court battle erupted over another california law aimed at reducing gun violence. at 6:00, the first fight over the law requiring background checks to buy ammunition. authorities say two

officers were instrumental in saving lives after a woman opened fire on sunday inside of joel osteen's houston megachurch. janet shamlian has the very latest in this investigation. >> reporter: a live stream from houston's lakewood church captured the horrifying moment gunshots could be heard just ahead of a spanish language service sunday afternoon. >> a shooting at lakewood, two people down. we need an ambulance. >> reporter: police say the shooter, 36-year-old genesee moreno, confronted a security guard and was let into the church with her 7-year-old son. once inside she opened fire in the hallway. two off-duty officers working church security fired back. >> multiple shots are exchanged by all three. she eventually falls to the ground. the 7-year-old child falls to the

ground as well from gunfire. one gunshot wound to the head. >> reporter: the houston police chief said it's not sure who fired the shot that hit the child. a 57-year-old man was also hit by gunfire. he's been released from the hospital. >> we are extremely thankful for the quick response of the two officers. if it weren't for them, the number of casualties and victims would have been much higher. >> reporter: authorities found two guns at the scene, including the ar-15 the shooter allegedly used in the attack. >> there was a sticker on the butt stock of the rifle that stated "palestine." we do have some anti-semitic writings we uncovered during this process. >> reporter: investigators say while they're still look motive, the suspect had a history of mental health issues and was involved with a dispute with her husband and his family. some of them were jewish. >> lakewood church is attended

by 45,000 people. each week tens of thousands more watch a live stream. more layoffs on theway for san jose bay sysco, the tech giant planning to cut thousands of jobs this week, reportedly part of a plan to restructure sysco's business. while many tech companies are cutting back, one san jose company could be planning a huge explanation. according to "the mercury news," super microcomputer has bought the site of the old fry's electronics in san jose. the company reportedly paid $80 million for the property at 550 east brokaw street. the city has already approved redevelopment of the site which could become an office campus. the battle over electric bills, why some california lawmakers are looking to roll back new rules that would charge customers based on the their income.

- temperatures cooling down as we head into the weekend and stronger onshore... ah, i stepped off the coast again. - the winds are really picking up. - fog spreading farther inland. - and in the north bay, you're gonna get soaked. (water splashing) - [narrator] presenting the bay area's only virtual weather studio. next level weather. - as i lift this, you can actually see... - [narrator] on kpix and pix+. (wind blowing) it's that real. (water splashing) - let's move on to the seven-day now. two leading candidates for senate. two very different visions for california. it's that real. (water splashing) steve garvey, the leading republican, is too conservative for california. he voted for trump twice and supported republicans for years, including far right conservatives. adam schiff, the leading democrat, defended democracy against trump and the insurrectionists. he helped build affordable housing, lower drug costs, and bring good jobs back home. the choice is clear. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message.

this ad? typical. politicians... "he's bad. i'm good." blah, blah. let's shake things up. with katie porter. porter refuses corporate pac money. and leads the fight to ban congressional stock trading. katie porter. taking on big banks to make housing more affordable. and drug company ceos to stop their price gouging. most politicians just fight each other. while katie porter fights for you. for senate - democrat katie porter. i'm katie porter and i approve this message.

now to the battle over your electric bill. state lawmakers are looking to roll back rules that would base you are charged based on your income as millions of californians face sky high electric and gas bills. >> my pg&e bill went from $300 to seemed like 600. >> reporter: yolanda choosing to move her and her pup mckenzie to sacramento, switching utility companies and lowering the cost of her monthly bill. >> i'm a single person. i don't know how the families do it. >> reporter: that's why the cpuc is considering creating a fixed rate on utility bills based on your income, hoping it will help low income customers most. >> the fixed charge would just shift some fixed costs out of electricity rates into a new line item on customers' bills, a fixed charge. >> reporter: the utility

reform network or t.u.r.n. that advocates for rate payors says it proposes a fixed rate of $5 per month for care and fara customers and $30 per month for everyone else and utilities are proposed a fixed rate of 10 to $24 a month for very low care and fare customers and 51 to $73 a month for everyone else. smud, roseville and modesto customers have fixed rates already from about 24 to $30. >> i don't think any of us are really opposed to a flat fee. we just want to make sure it's set at the right amount. >> reporter: assembly member jackie irwin says a.b. 1999 would cap the fixed rate fee at $5 for low income customers and $10 for everyone else, something she says has been in place for a decade, yet none of the major utilities ever implemented. >> why should i have to pay according to what i earn instead of the electricity that

i actually use? >> reporter: t.u.r.n. says the majority of your bill would still be based on usage. >> usage rates would go down for all customers. some fixed costs are being pulled out of rates and that makes electricity usage more affordable on a per kilowatt hour basis for everyone. >> reporter: but opponents say utilities should instead focus on time of use or find other ways to cut costs for customers. >> my whole paycheck's gone just to pay your utility bill. >> so what's next with all this? the bill needs to be heard by the utilities and energy committee by april 26th and then the cpuc has until july 1st to accept a proposal. lawmakers against the fixed rate tiered system hopes this date will also be pushed back so it has more time to consider all options. straight ahead in sports, the 49ers the day after. this is going to take a bit to process before we move on and

to the faithful, we feel your pain. coming up tonight on the cbs evening news, rise in crime in a popular vacation destination, the travel warning from the u.s. government, what it means for the lo growing up, my parents wanted me to become a doctor or an engineer. those are good careers! but i chose a different path. first, as mayor and then in the legislature. i enshrined abortion rights in our california constitution. in the face of trump, i strengthened hate crime laws and lowered the costs for the middle class. now i'm running to bring the fight to congress. you were always stubborn. and on that note, i'm evan low, and i approve this message.

- [narrator] california veterans have given everything for our freedom, often at extraordinary cost to themselves. prop 1 is for them. it's disgraceful that we've left 10,000 veterans living on the streets, many suffering ptsd. prop 1 directs a billion dollars to serve veterans experiencing homelessness, mental health, and substance abuse issues. 1 builds thousands of new veteran homes, including critical mental health services. for treatment, not tents. yes on 1.

you want to see who we are as americans? for treatment, not tents. i'm peter dixon and in kenya... we built a hospital that provides maternal care. as a marine... we fought against the taliban and their crimes against women. and in hillary clinton's state department... we took on gender-based violence in the congo. now extremists are banning abortion and contraception right here at home. so, i'm running for congress to help stop them. for your family... and mine. i approved this message because this is who we are.

paul, a lot of families looking to go to tahoe the next couple of weeks. a lot of schools have their ski breaks. when is a good time to drive up? >> there are going to be little breaks. they're really hard to time out this far in advance. we're talking about presidents' day weekend into next week. if you can get up there maybe friday before the next parade of storm systems arrives, that might be your best bet overall. we'll be able to narrow down the timing of those waves of snowfall for the sierra, rainfall around the bay area as we get closer to the weekend, but it does look like a wet weather pattern, not today, though, just some passing clouds. our next storm system is over the pacific. that will send a good chance of rain to the bay area wednesday. that doesn't look too impactful, typical midwinter rain event, less than an inch across the board, no major wind impacts. temperatures today pretty close to normal for this time of year, low to mid-60s most of the bay area, upper 50s along the coast. doesn't matter if you were along the

coast or farther inland, everybody within about a half dozen degrees of everybody else. temperatures tonight drop down to the low to mid-40s, also close to what's typical for this time of year. highs tomorrow will be within a degree or two on either side of average. let's look at forecast highs tuesday reaching into the low 60s despite more clouds than sunshine overhead. there says going to be some sunshine filtering through those clouds. it will warm us up to normal temperatures, low 60s inland, slightly cooler temperatures for oakland, san francisco and along the coast of half moon bay, but upper 50s, very close to where you're supposed to be in mid-february. north bay temperatures are right around 60 degrees. the temperatures won't change a lot even as our rain chances increase heading through this week. the first one is the light to moderate rain event that arrives wednesday, a mix of clouds and sunshine tomorrow. going through tomorrow night, the moisture starts to get a little closer to the coast, maybe a couple passing showers for the north bay late tuesday night into early wednesday morning. for

most of us, we'll be waiting until wednesday afternoon and evening for those waves of light to moderate rain showers to move across the bay area and these will pass through quickly. some brief heavier rainfall rates will move in and out very quickly and that really knocks our flooding possible down to almost zero with this system. once that rain moves out we'll still see a few lingering showers thursday and cloud cover overhead. we'll be back into waiting hold as we approach presidents' day weekend and the more widespread heavier rain chances head our way saturday, sunday and monday. how much rain this system? all the areas in blue is where the forecast models indicate the potential for more than a half inch of rain. the rain shadowed spots are definitely shadowed, less than a 0.1-inch of rain for locations on the peninsula, down around san jose. this forecast model says the santa cruz mountains won't get much moisture out of this system, a lot of it aimed at the northern half of the bay area. there is

more headed our way. better rain chances in store beginning friday night into saturday and continuing for sunday and into presidents' day monday. here's how much we're looking at through next monday, presidents' day. this includes the rain falling wednesday this week. the bulk of this falls over the weekend. we're talking 1 1/2 to 4 1/2 inches of rain across most of the bay area and more than 6 inches of rain in the santa cruz mountains. these will be associated with low end atmospheric rivers like the ar-1 and ar-2 events. while those usually bring beneficial rainfall to the bay area, when they happen back to back, they could have the impact of something higher up the scale, more of a balance of beneficial rain and hazards in terms of flooding potential. the good news is even when the atmospheric rivers move through, it doesn't look like we'll see nearly the impact of wind that we saw just last

weekend. temperatures aren't going to change much, mostly hovering in the low to mid-60s. we get dry weather to finish the work week friday and get into that gennari wet weather pattern, saturday, sunday and monday . have an indoor alternative ready to go. at 6:00, it's a park where many people feel safe enough to walk their dogs. we're learning more about the custodian stabbed to death at the pleasant hill park he worked so hard to maintain. what colleagues are saying now about the beloved father of two. plus a fight heating up over background checks for bullets, we look at both sides of the battle to regulate ammo sales in california. we are all feeling the sting of the super bowl losses, but we'll show you how the faithful rallied big time to say thanks to the 9ers for a

great season. as tough as it is for fans, probably feels even worse for the team. vern glenn is just back from vegas. >> all right, jules. how big was your hotel bill? 49ers up top and let's get right to it. the emotions are still raw. >> just hurts. we have the team to win the whole thing. >> we've gotten pretty damn close, but we haven't pulled it off. we're hurting right now. ♪ ♪ everybody hurts ♪ ♪. >> sunday, the second time in the last five years, the 49ers were on the wrong end of the red and gold confetti falling on them. here comes another offseason of hearing that kyle shanahan can't win the big one. >> obviously it sucks. you want to win it for that kind of guy. he's a great coach. everybody wants to go to war with that kind of guy. obviously the older guys, the vets, trent williams, arik armstead, you

want a win for them. >> shanahan is being second guessed for his decision to take the ball first in overtime. under the new format kansas city was guaranteed a possession. >> we just thought it would be better. we wanted the ball third. both teams matched and scored, we wanted to have the chance to win, got that field goal, so we knew we had to hold them to at least a field goal. if we did, we thought it was in our hands after that. >> it never would have come down to that if not for a few earlier missed opportunities. ray-ray mccloud's fumbled punt led to a chiefs touchdown. make moody had an extra point blocked in the fourth quarter to keep it a three-point game and brock purdy, under heavy pressure missed an open jauan jennings, capped on of a

frustrating night for purdy and the offense. >> we had our opportunities. i think we failed to do that. we had the team and offense so score touchdowns. i think i failed to put our team in position to do that. >> and then there's this. dre greenlaw on crutches after the game. greenlaw suffered a torn achille's in the second quarter while taking the field. not only was it a huge loss last night, he will likely miss most of the next season. >> that's depressing. i mean to get injured in the super bowl, hopefully hits aaron rodgers and figures out how to fix that up quickly. he's such a fantastic football player and is everything the 9ers stand for. to lose him, it really, really sucks for him. >> yeah. george is right. the 9ers are favored to be back and in time super bowl lix is in

new orleans. >> now they have a major clip on their shoulder. they'll be ready next season. >> thanks, vern. welcome back. up next, an alameda county pizza parlor with a unique twist, why business is now booming at two leading candidates for senate. two very different visions for california. steve garvey, the leading republican, is too conservative for california. he voted for trump twice and supported republicans for years, including far right conservatives. adam schiff, the leading democrat, defended democracy against trump and the insurrectionists. he helped build affordable housing, lower drug costs, and bring good jobs back home. the choice is clear. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message.

>> reporter: kara zabrowski and her husband mark gambled their savings on a fresh new start. much to-do about pizza they called it in jest, a culinary experiment put to the test. >> everyone thought we were crazy. >> reporter: their menu, a sonnet, each slice a verse, but the question remained was the concept a curse? they worked day and night hoping to grow, but for weeks, even months they were making no dough. >> we were in a really tough spot. sales were not happening. summer was really rough. >> reporter: that's where their plot takes an unexpected twist as their shakespearean-th emed parlor made the yelp review list. >> we actually didn't believe it at first. we got the email and we thought it was junk mail. >> reporter: it was a strike of luck no one could plan, nabbing the 51st spot across all the land. >> i kind of wanted to cry.

i'm going to be honest. >> reporter: their secret sauce is actually the crust, a sourdough concoction they say is a must. >> it's better on your digestion. you won't get any extra sugars. >> reporter: now kara and mark are nothing but smiles as customers arrive from miles and miles. >> this sourdough is just to die for. >> reporter: they feel like they won the ultimate prize as their business and pizza continue to rise. >> i'm hungry. >> i am, too. that's it for the news at 5:00. cbs news bay area with juliette goodrich starts right now. >> thanks so much. it is the kind of place people tell us they feel safe walking their dogs, a father of two, though, stabbed to death at the park he worked to keep beautiful. >> he was a valued member of our team and he will be missed. >> a community shaken by the loss of a beloved caretaker. >> it's just sad he walked by
