then we need to put that in place to protect our kids and players on on these fields. >> if we go to the extremes that are being discussed of removing every artificial turf field around, we need probably 3 to 4 times as many grass fields in order to have the same level of access. >> this study is expected to be finished next month, with supervisors possibly voting in june. a ban could affect some local projects too, including the practice facility for the san jose earthquakes at the santa clara county fairgrounds. and we want some viewer reaction from all you out there. we're asking, would you support a ban on artificial turf on athletic fields? your options? yes, they're dangerous. no artificial turf is better or need a little more research on it. scan that qr code or go to ktvu.com/vote and vote. voice your opinion. welcome to the nine. everybody seems like the cow already left the barn there because there's a

know, if you played high school football. yeah, this is a little more forgiving. i think we're in that third group. >> i'd like to learn more. yeah. as people weigh in, those numbers change. we'll check in on that poll throughout the nine. of course. we'll start a newscast, though, now in oakland, where an investigation is underway after a police officer shot and killed a person wanted for a homicide. as ktvu erasmus explains, it started with an investigation. ali, more than 80 miles away in sacramento. >> yes. and we should mention this is the first deadly police shooting to happen in oakland so far this year. the person killed last night was wanted by sacramento police as part of a homicide investigation there. now, we don't know what homicide in sacramento that the person was accused of, but the search by police from that agency for this suspect brought them to a home on 16th and chestnut streets in oakland, and it was just before 930 last night when sacramento police asked oakland police for help in arresting the suspect. now, in a recorded statement shared on social media last night in oakland, police spokesperson described what happened next. >> oakland police officers arrived on scene and as they began securing the area and requesting additional resources,

the suspect emerged from the residence with the firearm. >> and at that point, oakland police say their officers fired at the suspect outside the garage of the home, shooting and killing the person. no police officers were injured, and oakland police have not released any details on the person's name or identity. the person who was killed. we are still working to get more information from oakland police. >> andre ali, thank you so much. now to this story. the antioch police department still understaffed now, interim police chief brian eddington told the antioch police oversight commission that the department now has 77 officers out of the 115 budgeted for the positions. eddington says the department is now recruiting more officers, and he also says some officers who were placed on administrative leave for alleged misconduct will soon be coming back to active duty and that 17 officers are on leave. >> coding school, based in san francisco, now has the attention of the federal government, the consumer financial protection bureau says bloom tech misled

there. san rafael, napa airport 63, livermore 61. so we're on our way in fact, inland locations are running about 3 to 4 degrees warmer than yesterday. at this time, bayside locations are about the same, so mostly sunny. looks good. the jet stream, the river of air is to the north, so nice to warm today and the patchy fog was there for a little bit. now it's gone a little cooler friday. i think even into saturday. then we'll see a rebound on the weekend. looks good. 70s, 80s into monday. changes on the way, if not tuesday, wednesday. something is brewing for the end of next week. looks like a return to some cooler temps and probably some rain, but not today. and not into the weekend. so looks good here. temperatures some low 80s inland, 60s 70s closer to the coast in bay. but with that slight offshore breeze. bayside location should be in the mid 70s upper 70s. nice into the weekend, even a little warmer. sunday. monday you guys. steve thank you. >> a groundbreaking approach to emergency response in oakland coming up on mornings on two and nine. we'll give you a look inside at how the work of macro is expanding as it looks to redefine crisis intervention,

to that robot dog? we were like, floored when that thing, you know, hit the news, and now they've just been i mean, just what we saw there. >> it started on the ground and the way, i mean, we can't even move like so the fact that, you know, they can move even better than we are now. so it's just going to get better. and it's kind of freaky. i mean, it could help people in the future too, right? i don't want to say everything is bad. you know, people who are home alone and, you know, elderly folks heading that direction. we're heading that direction. so that's going to be good. good. but then i wonder, you know, i think skynet all the time in my mind, skynet from terminator movies. yeah, yeah. you know what i'm talking about i do. yeah. >> i'll be back. >> let's swing back to a question we posed to you earlier on in the night. it was a question about artificial turf. i know santa clara county is considering a ban on athletic turf fields. supervisors they're studying their environmental and safety issues. santa clara county medical association has drafted a letter in support of a ban. what do you think 66% of you, the vast majority say? yeah they're dangerous. 22% say artificial is better. for 12% of you say you think you need to do some more research. and as you talk about it through your day,

you can always share your thoughts. scan the qr code. also head to our website ktvu.com/vote. we love to get your input. today is an important day. it marks the 118th anniversary of the great san francisco earthquake. people are gathering across the city for events marking the moment that earthquake hit back in 1906. ktvu bailey o'carroll live in the city where commemorations started very early this morning. bailey good morning. >> garcia, you talk about the moment that earthquake hit. that was at 511 on 118 years ago. 5:11 a.m. that is so that is exactly where we were at that time this morning. and that's when this wreath was placed here at the lodha fountain on market street in downtown san francisco . so as people gathered here early, early at around 430 this morning to commemorate that earthquake and all the lives lost and all the first responders for everything they did to help the city in that the day of the earthquake and the days after that. now the events started today with a reading of

a timeline of events of april 18th, 1906, starting at 5:11 a.m. that is when that initial quake hit in today's richter scale, that would have been equivalent to about 7.9 magnitude quake. it lasted anywhere from 45 to 60s, more than 80% of the city was destroyed. more than 3000 people died. to this day, it is the deadliest earthquake in the history of the u.s. 26 aftershocks shook the city and fires burned for more than 74 hours. following that initial quake. but everyone who spoke this morning says that the earthquake was proof of just how strong and resilient the city of san francisco is. >> would i be wrong if i said every san franciscan should hear the reading of the quake of 1906? that is an incredible, informative and appreciated delivery of information.

information that has made this city so believable in its ability to recover from everything going right now. >> after speakers finished up here on market street, folks went up to dolores park where a gold fire hydrant, one that they call the little hydrant that could. that is because all the other fire hydrants in the city had run dry, except for that one. now because of that, because there was still water in that gold fire hydrant. of course it wasn't gold back then. it is now. it saved the mission district from what was certainly would have been destruction from the fires following the earthquake. today. it was sprayed with a fresh paint of gold, a fresh coat of gold paint rather by everyone from lifelong residents to those who had family affected by the quake. and lots of first responders. now, many people also taking time today to look ahead to the future. of course, we do not know when the next big earthquake will hit, though it is likely that we will have one

at some point. they say it's not a question of if, but when. so they're asking first responders, asking folks at home to be prepared for when that does happen. they say one of the most important things you can do is have a meeting place, a common area where you can go to meet friends and family should internet or phone lines go down? of course, that happens. a lot of times with large natural disasters like earthquakes. and that is exactly what this spot in front of this fountain served as all the way back in 1906, when that earthquake happened. reporting live in san francisco. i'm bailey o'carroll, ktvu, fox two news. all right. >> bailey got to have a safety plan. indeed thank you for that. new this morning. there is heavy police activity in san mateo county. redwood city police, along with agencies, have barricaded several streets, including marlborough avenue and dumbarton avenue. they are heavily armed and seem to be looking for someone or something. our crews have also seen what appears to be people

among parents as it blurs the line of consent and respect. joining us now to learn more about what's happening and how to keep our little ones safe. we welcome caitlin sully, a therapist from bay area modern therapy. back to the nine. thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> before we get deep into this conversation, i'll warn anyone listening and watching. we're going to talk a little bit about, i don't know, do we call it sexual activity? i mean, it's certainly sexual consent. the lack of which could lead to sexual activity. so do parents out there with very littles. i'd like you to know that i'll be honest, caitlin. when my producer and i first talked about this, i said the fire truck game. what the heck is it? i've read up and it is in very basic terms, two people. one puts their hands on the inner thighs of the other person and starts raising them up, and then the person is supposed to say fire truck. then the person with the hand says, oh, fire trucks don't stop. the person who seated, you know says, red light. the person with the hands moving says fire trucks don't stop at red lights. this doesn't sound like a game. it sounds like a potential sexual assault. are we on the same page? absolutely. okay >> yes. same page? yes. it is

similar to the game that was played generations ago, or maybe even a generation ago. if some of you are familiar with. are you nervous? i know, i remember hearing about that game, but essentially, yes, it's, it's touching somebody's body without their consent, which is highly problematic, and especially when we have people doing it on social media. and we know that kids are so susceptible to, to, you know, these social media trends. and so it's definitely sending the wrong message to boys and girls. quite honestly. >> and, you know, however, i will tell you, as horrified as i was when i learned exactly what this game and i'll use air quotes around that word is, i'm guessing that's not the proper reaction to have when, let's say, one of my children comes to me and says, oh hey, some kids are doing this thing. >> yes, you're right, the i think it's you're totally it's so hard to look at that and not feel terrified for our kids or not feel, you know, like, gosh, this is problematic. so the most important thing we can do is ground ourselves before we have these conversations. that could

even be a quick, a quick, deep breath that can be, you know, saying, let me come back to you on that. it's really important not that we're robotic. i've said this before, but that we're calm and collected when we have these conversations with our kids and that we do more listening than we do lecturing and talking really keep open ears. ask our kids, what do you know about this? tell me more. what are you hearing? what do you think about this? >> yeah, we learned a phrase way back in preschool, and that phrase is how does that make you feel? >> and that can be applied to this, this game that's being played. you know, the d you got on your science test, kind of any matter of, of troublesome things with, with teens and tweens. how do we talk about our child, regardless of their sex, about any participation or suggestion of participation in a game like this? >> i think it's really important to kind of go back to the basics. and when i say that, i mean, i'm hoping that parents are starting to have these conversations because younger and younger with their kids about consent in general, and there's age appropriate ways to do it. starting as young as, you

know, toddlerhood, honestly, as you know, nobody touches your body without your consent. and you tell them, you know, what consent is? that's permission, you know, and you start to have these conversations younger so that the first time you're talking about it isn't when they're 12 or 13 years old. they understand, you know, the foundation of, respecting each other's bodies. so that's a place to start. and it's okay if you haven't had a lot of these conversations. as i say, a lot of times people, parents will hear this and be like, gosh, i messed up. i didn't talk about it soon enough. it's never too late. so you can start having the conversation, now that's okay. but if you have young children, i really do think it's important to kind of have conversations about, you know, your body belongs to you. nobody else should touch your body when you say no. no means no and stop means stop. >> i think we've all talked about kind of the person waiting in the bushes to grab you as you walk home. i think what's extremely problematic about this fire truck game is that i imagine it taking place among friend groups, and in those

friend groups, there's a lot of social power there. sort of ingrained social structure. if someone is sort of feeling unsure about speaking out, they may think like, oh gosh, this is, you know, the most popular girl in school, or, you know, the head of the football team all that really plays into that, you know, middle school, high school life. >> yes, it does. and if you actually look at the statistics of sexual assault, and i'm not saying that this game is necessarily sexual assault, but if you look at the statistics of where sexual assault happens, it's mostly with people that kids know. it's somebody in their family, it's a friend, it's a peer. and so we do talk a lot about the stranger in the bushes, but really we need to be talking more with kids about the danger in their excuse me, in their own life. so i think that's a really important, conversation to have with their kids and the and the power dynamics. you're right. that is a big piece of it. so, empowering our children to say it's okay to say no, even if you feel like the person is going to make fun of you or laugh. it's really important that you do stay true to yourself. and if you're having trouble doing

that, please go talk to a school counselor. talk to an adult. talk to somebody in your life who you can trust. >> yeah. >> every time my boys kind of lay something on me, i didn't expect it. i freak on the inside. and then i somehow find the words to say. thank you for telling me. thanks for letting me know. so caitlin sully, my producer, just told me we have to wrap things up. i feel like we could talk about this for an hour. i hope we have a chance to connect another time. very soon. >> thank you. garcia. >> thank you. caitlin. sully. all right. coming up here on mornings on two. the nine, a sting operation in san francisco where a family of four was hit and killed by a car while waiting at a bus stop recently. what police found about whether people are being mindful of pedestrians in that neighborhood in the wake of that terrible crash, then thwarting thieves and making sure your car doesn't get stolen. a new roundup, which makes and models are most often targeted and how to help prevent vehicle heft
