right now at 11. breaking news out of san jose. a chaotic night at a buddhist temple in the alum rock neighborhood after a fire broke out this evening. crews still monitoring for hotspots right now. the temple is located on foss avenue near 680 and alum rock. a neighbor shared this video with us. you can see the flames right there shooting up into the sky. investigators tell us there were four people inside at the time. everybody got out. okay. the vast majority of this building is a large meeting area. fortunately, there was no meetings at the time. the only people who were in the building were the four people who live in

the building. they live in a in a small unit that's towards the rear of the building, above a garage space. crews managed to keep that fire from spreading to nearby homes, the cause of that fire under investigation. but a man who says he owns the building told us he thinks that fire started in the kitchen. now, also tonight, trapped in gaza, a bay area doctor among a group of doctors trying to get home. yes she left on a medical mission two weeks ago and was supposed to be on her way back. but after israel closed the rafah crossing, communication with her has been limited. nbc bay area's jocelyn moran joins us now with the details. what do we know? jocelyn? well, jessica, after israel seized the rafah crossing, the brother of a san carlos doctor says they lost complete communication with her. then this morning they received a text from her. she is okay, but communication is extremely limited and they worry when she may be able to come back home. akhmad sheikholeslami tells us his sister always wanted to help others, so when she got the opportunity to go to gaza, she took it. i felt she really felt compelled when she saw, you know, the suffering of the

children and the people of palestine to do something more. doctor holly sheikholeslami is a doctor at sutter health in san carlos. ahmad tells us she left at the end of april to gaza on a two week medical mission. the first week she would send him a message every day so we'd get a text, you know, in terms of, you know, everything's okay. and, you know, you know, i'm starting to do my work and i've seen children and so on and so forth, and so that kind of reassured us that, you know, she's okay. but then last week, after israel seized the rafah crossing, that changed. there was a lot of internet blackouts. and we for a couple of days did not hear from her when we kind of lost contact. it was like, that's not a good sign. and, you know, hearing the news with the increasing bombings and incursions and, you know, death toll, you know, we started to become really worried. nbc news reported on friday that dozens of american medical volunteers were trapped inside gaza after israeli forces took over the rafah crossing, preventing

people from getting out. this morning, there was some relief for ahmed and their family, he says. he heard from his sister. he got one message saying she was okay, but said they were waiting for the border to open. she urged people to reach out to their local representatives. with the work she's done in gaza , ahmed says he's proud of her but also worries for her safety. and we have to, you know, end, end this, this war. and we have to ensure that the people who are sacrificing to try to help others are also safe in this process. jocelyn moran, nbc, bay area news. well as that war rages on overseas tonight, a new pro-palestinian encampment has emerged, this one at san jose state. students are demanding the university divest funds from israel, condemn israel for what they call genocide in gaza. well tonight, san jose state says it has been planning for the possibility of increased student activism, and safety is its top priority, a statement from the university goes on to say san

jose state university respects free expression, while also ensuring the continuity of student education and instruction and other vital operations. well, new at 11 tonight. it's a disturbing trend. thieves targeting high powered teslas and other ev charging stations and stealing heavy cable for the copper metal inside. nbc bay area's tom jensen is in vallejo tonight, where someone cut cables from nine charging stations, leaving tesla drivers in a bind and causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage and repair costs. it's easy to see what the thieves are after these cables are heavy and you can see by the cut ends. they are also dense with copper, and at $3 a pound through scrappers from the cables cut here, the thieves likely got a couple hundred dollars for all of that metal. they knew something wasn't right. most likely happened in the night, and we found it early morning. josh beckler and his wife were two of the first people to find the cut cables early mother's day morning. josh

is also a retired marine and former investigator for a major big box hardware chain who routinely investigated similar thefts where thieves targeted generators and other items for the copper wire. you know, they left five charging stations, i'm pretty sure after they racked up, i don't know what the quantity was, but almost 20, cables with the nozzles, those are extremely heavy, so i'm imagining that's all that they could haul at one given time. in all nine of the tesla supercharging stations cables behind the vallejo target store were cut over the weekend and reported to vallejo pd early sunday morning, leaving tesla drivers in a bind. i think it's the second time or third he's been cut, so they need to put some gates up or something like that. i don't know what they need to do, but this is pretty inconvenient. josh beckler says sadly, it's a sign of just how desperate many in the bay area are right now willing to risk life and freedom for a couple hundred bucks in copper wire and in oakland. tesla driver who had

to use the chargers in a pinch today agrees. i think it reinforces the desperate times that a lot of people are under. and, you know, hopefully we can do something about it. tesla energy workers had all of the stations back up and running by dinnertime. but this isn't an isolated incident. there have been reports of ev cables stolen from charging stations across the u.s. recently. that last driver i talked to from oakland said she usually charges her car at home. but beware, the thieves are also targeting those home ev charging cables for just a couple of dollars worth of copper, and the cables themselves can cost almost $3,000 each to replace in vallejo. tom jensen, nbc, bay area news tonight the fbi is warning communities that pride celebrations could be targets for terror. this comes just weeks ahead of pride month, which is june. the bureau says foreign terrorist organizations and their supporters might be planning to commit or inspire violence at pride events or

venues next month. the alert does not name any specific states, cities or celebrations as targets. it does, however, name isis as a specific terror group. the fbi says it's seen isis promoting anti-gay rhetoric over the past few years. the alert urges local law enforcement to be on the lookout for threats that could come online, in person or by mail. we reached out to san francisco pride. they sent us a statement that says, in part, as always, we take all potential threats seriously and are working closely with all appropriate law enforcement agencies to ensure the safety and security of our events. as in previous years, we will monitor any potential risks and plan accordingly to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience for everyone who joins us to celebrate pride, the pleasanton man accused of killing his girlfriend, 27 year old rachel elizabeth amani buckner, is facing life in prison. a jury found joseph roberts guilty today. buckner's body was found dismembered and wrapped in plastic near a bay farm island

last july. her family says the verdict puts an end to years of trauma that the family experienced during that couple's relationship. well, today's verdict means for me is that i don't have to look over my shoulder for right now. i've lived in trauma, in terror for the last four years in dealing with the perpetrator. and today means that i can breathe a little bit easier. roberts is expected to be sentenced next month after more than a year of uncertainty. tonight, oakland officially has a new police chief. its chief, lloyd mitchell's first official night on the job. nbc's audrey asistio has more. terry and jess, it's been a busy day and night for the new police chief, establishing relationships and trying to prove that today marks the start of stability at the oakland police department. chief mitchell spent the day shaking

hands and meeting with other leaders at opd headquarters. he also met with uniformed officers, civilian workers and the next class of oakland's police cadets. mitchell was hired by oakland's mayor about six weeks ago. since then, he's been settling in and working with the interim chief to get up to speed. i'm looking forward to working with you and with the members of the community to make oakland safer. i've spent the last few days attending some lineups to meet my officers. i'm going to spend the rest of this week attending different meetings to get brought up to speed on several different things going on within the oakland police department and within this community. oakland has been without a permanent police chief since former chief laurent armstrong was fired in february of last year. before that, the opd has had 12 chiefs in 20 years and operates under a federal monitor because of the writers scandal, more than two decades ago, new orleans police chief and former oakland police chief anne kirkpatrick knows the job well. the most important challenge he's going to have, as

he's got a lot of different bosses who do not always see eye to eye. so he's got to figure out which direction he's going to go. she believes chief mitchell is doing the right things on day one, which is establishing relationships with as many different people that he can internally, externally and day one, he needs to establish that he's going to be credible and that he's going to be stable. chief mitchell led the lubbock, texas police department until september of last year. he also spent 25 years with the kansas city police and is a veteran of the us air force. chief mitchell says he is committed to spending his first 100 days getting familiar with the oakland police department and the city of oakland. jess, terry. all right. thank you very much. audrey. new at 11 tonight, a famed san francisco jeweler is leaving the city after 172 years of doing business there. the chronicle is reporting that shreve and company has announced it is closing up shop at union square. the jeweler didn't say

why it's leaving, but it does join a growing list of retailers that have also left union square , the company's flagship store, opened on montgomery street in 1852. it moved to post street in 1906, then moved to another location on post street in 2015. in addition to leaving san francisco, the jeweler is consolidating operations at its two palo alto locations. we want to give you a legal update on the oakland a's plan to move to las vegas. the nevada supreme court today struck down efforts to fund the new a's major league ballpark on the 2024 ballot. the group schools over stadiums had filed the petition to allow residents to vote on the bill. it would set aside up to $380 million in tax dollars for that new stadium at the soon to be demolished tropicana site on the vegas strip. teachers who oppose using public money for the project say the bill is unconstitutional. well, despite today's ruling, the group vows to keep fighting and plans to refile another petition next year. now, the a's are leaving

stealing a woman's laptop in san francisco. police say the suspect, who you can see walking here, is a 19 year old man from suisun city in solano county. investigators say on saturday, he went to the back of a popular middle eastern cafe, just grabbed a woman's macbook, then ran off. but watch as a quick thinking customer stops tackle him just outside the cafe. they held him down until police arrived. officers say that man is now in jail. the one who stole the laptop, allegedly for grand theft and burglary charges. the machines took a big step forward. today we're talking about artificial

intelligence and a bay area startup that's showing off what ai can do. like we have never seen before. and what does this mean for your job? here's nbc bay area's scott budman. once upon a time in a world not too different from ours. and that's how the story of gpt four begins, with a phone that wants to be your friend, or at least help you with math. the first step is to get all the terms with x on one side and the constants on the other side. but even as openai rolled out the latest chat product at its headquarters, a.i. leaders safety now, a year later, safety now, a group called pause a.i. protested outside. we're out here asking for openai to be reined in until we know that what they're doing is safe and that they're doing it in a safe way. and it really shouldn't be us doing that. it should be our government leaders nervous about how eerily human the ai has

become. it's going to be very, very, very close to the humans. and now we're going to look at your phone. your phone is not you know, a smartphone is basically, you know, a friend, engineering professor ahmed bonta says at least in the short term, technology that can do this in real time. potessero parlare cosa ci durborow, mike. she wonders if whales could talk. what would they tell us is likely to take human jobs away. the tutors jobs will be at risk. you know, you can talk about that. jobs are really going to be translators will be at risk. at the same time, these things comes with a price. the question now is where does i go from here? scott budman, nbc, bay area news is creating a space for the vietnamese community, an important project underway in the south bay san jose city leaders came together for the groundbreaking of a new monument in san jose. the thank you

america statue is going to stand in the vietnamese heritage garden. it will depict an american soldier and a south vietnamese soldier standing together, a symbol of unity. for some of us, it will provide a space to grieve the loss of loved ones. for others, it will allow us to express gratitude to the brave soldiers who fought valiantly and sacrificed their lives to maintain the democratic values we all hold dear. that statue is set to be unveiled later this summer. city leaders say one day the space will host community events, cultural performances and educational programs. okay, raj isn't here this evening, but there's a very good reason for that. the asian american pacific islander legislative caucus took a moment to honor people who have made huge contributions to the aapi community in california, and raj is one of those people. state assembly member nominated raj. he tells us he believes raj should be recognized as a trailblazer in the community, as a role model for south asian

people all across the state, and we agree we are very proud of our own. raj mathai, i think he also announced he's running for governor. did i get did i get that wrong? he looks like a natural there. he did. he looked very comfortable walking around over there. yeah. what's going on, rob? nice weather here locally. watching for some low clouds eventually to spill in closer to san jose overnight. so we got some drizzle to contend with for tomorrow morning's commute. but over the next couple of days, a little bit of a warming trend. but if you're also have any sierra travel plans, watch out for some big time thunderstorms and that microclimate forecast. let's take you around the bay area right now and we'll show you this. temperatures around san jose. we're at 58 degrees, partly cloudy skies. eventually we'll see the low clouds settle into the santa clara valley. right now in walnut creek, 55 degrees in our east bay valleys too, will likely see the low clouds just like we had this morning. and there's plenty of low clouds. pretty view too, right there. sfo, alaska airlines going by right there right now 53 degrees currently

back into downtown san francisco. there's a lot of low clouds and actually some mist and drizzle coming down with some of that. so some wet roadways possible for your morning commute, especially around san francisco and the peninsula to start. then as we move forward, notice how we start the day off. lots of low clouds inland. and then during the day, kind of like a summerlike pattern. the low clouds will stay off there to the west of san francisco. but also notice those high clouds coming in from the east. that will be the remnants of another day of some strong thunderstorms around lake tahoe south. if you have plans around yosemite or lake tahoe next couple of afternoons, those daytime chances of thunderstorms will continue and some of the high clouds from that may try to drift to the west. doesn't look like we're going to see any showers, but we'll keep a close eye on the radar around this time tomorrow night. so right now, as we head towards tomorrow morning, we've got low 50s to start, areas of low clouds, a little bit of spotty drizzle in a few areas, including the coast in san francisco, lunchtime temperatures climbing through the 60s and 70. so temperature wise at least for one more day a

bit on the mild side, 70 around san jose, low 60s again near san francisco, mid 60s in oakland. then as we head towards wednesday and thursday we start to see a warm up. notice those areas in orange showing up, including san jose near 81 degrees on wednesday, mid 80s inland san francisco and oakland. warming up a little bit, upper 60s to low 70s. thursday looks to be the warmest day of the week, with some mid 80s possible around the east bay valleys. and then we're going to cool down again as we get towards friday. as high pressure gives up a little bit of ground, it's a low pressure offshore for the weekend that will bring in the low clouds a little bit more and likely lead to some cooling changes, just like we saw this last weekend. so we'll start things off with the midweek warmup. san francisco briefly close to 70 degrees valleys back into the 80s. looks like wednesday and thursday, the warmest days of the week, and then comfortably cool with some low clouds as we move forward into next weekend. all right. sounds good. up next, if you're planning a trip to tahoe this

summer, we just got some really good news about the lake. what's expected to happen there for the first time in five years. and we have jimmy. hi, everyone. snoop dogg is my guest tonight. jonathan bailey lpga golfer michelle wie west and music from

overhead, calling out for the boy. investigators at this point aren't sharing any details of how he was found, but only saying that he is okay. it's moving forward. legal action against the state for a deadly covid outbreak at san quentin prison during the pandemic, families of those who died at san quentin, as well as inmates and staff who were infected but survived, have filed four lawsuits against the state. they say prison officials moved inmates from chino to san quentin during a covid outbreak in the chino facility, triggering a new outbreak at san quentin that killed 26 prisoners and a guard prison officials appealed, seeking immunity from the lawsuit. today, the supreme court denied that appeal, allowing those suits to move forward for the first time in years. lake tahoe is expected to fill up. that's the word tonight from the nevada water outlook report, which came out earlier this month. it's projected the lake will be full for the first time in five years. that's because of two particularly wet winters and all that snowmelt that comes with it. when the lake is full, it means it can

provide enough water for the next three years. although it is good news if you're heading to tahoe this summer, you might have a hard time finding somewhere to sit on the beach. a full lake means higher water levels and less beach areas. drumroll please. tonight we know the name of the new baby giraffe at the oakland zoo. his name is o. nuru. nuru. it means the light in swahili. the zoo held a contest to pick that name. people have been voting for their favorite of three names since last week. nuru is 13 months, ten feet tall. when he's ready, he's going to join the rest of the giraffe herd in the african savanna habitat. nuru, welcome, nuru. all right, shohei ohtani and the los angeles dodgers up against the giants at oracle. some of the young guys contributing good sign for the
