heavy accent. he may have injuries on his hand and fingers. now, officers say the attack was not random, the suspect knows the victim's family. >> wanted to get out in front and share the details of this suspect and the fact that we don't believe he is in the area. we want to reassure our berkeley residents that this predator is no longer in our city and we're diligently pursuing him. >> reporter: sosa is suspected on several charges, among them, rape, sodomy, false imprisonment, sexual battery and burglary. anyone with information on the suspect is urged to call berkeley's special crime detail at (510)981-5734. juliette? >> hopefully someone will come forward or spot him. all right. sharon in berkeley, thank you, sharon. a shooting on an oakland street killed one man and put three others in the hospital. this happened on east 28th street near 12th avenue just before 9:00 last night.

police say four men were standing on the corner when a suspect opened fire. the gunman fled. the victims drove themselves to the hospital. one man died. another is in critical condition and the other two are stable. the latest violence comes as national study ranks oakland as the fifth most dangerous city in the country. the annual rajings based on population figures and crime data compiled by the fbi. st. louis tops the list with more than 2,000 crimes per 100,000 residents. the national average is about 430. also in the top five, camden new jersey, detroit, and flint, michigan. time now 5:04. oakland is get withing national attention this morning as it takes a major step in support of marijuana. today, the city will begin accepting permit applications for industrial sized urban pot farms inside city limits. leaders approved the plan in july to allow four pot farms. oakland is the first city in

the nation to license wholesale pot cultivation. they will pay an annual fee of $200,000 for the permit and $5,000 in application fees. tobacco retailers plan to rally this afternoon against two propose license fees in silicon valley. tomorrow supervisors in santa clara county will consider a $425 annual fee for businesses to sell tobacco products. san jose is already moving forward with a $450 annual fee. city council members could vote on that as soon as next month. and this morning, the head of the tsa appears to be changing his stand on those invasive new patdowns. meantime, as mark sayre reports, outrage over the new screening procedures might cause an even bigger jam at airports this week. it's never ending. and there's a nice couple behind you embracing. that's kind of cute. [ laughter ] >> go ahead, mark. >> reporter: i'll take your word for that. >> no patdown but go ahead.

reporter: the tsa in damage control mode this morning after yesterday flatly saying there would be no changes at all to the patdowns that are very invasive. this morning a different tune from the director of the tsa. of course, passengers have been complaining about these new security procedures since they were implemented. yesterday the tsa director said on the sunday talk shows that there would be no change to these patdown policies. but then in a written statement late yesterday, and again this morning on the tv talk shows, tsa director john pistole now says federal officials do understand that there is a balance between safety and privacy. >> no, i'm opposed to that. i think the scanning is important somehow. some kind of security. >> do you think the protests may cause some delays? >> absolutely. absolutely. it's always the few that ruin it for the majority. so... >> reporter: now, the tsa is reaffirming its commitment to review its policies on patdowns. it says they must be, quoting

now, as minimally invasive as possible. tsa director john pistole saying only one percent of passengers going through the full-body scanners are opted out and refusing to pass through them, at which point they are subjected to these new patdowns that are the source of such controversy. so a very small number but, of course, they very concerned on wednesday juliette the day before thanksgiving about the possibility of this protest that people are calling for where people are being asked to opt0. the tsa director says it's not fair to make your political statement and inconvenience people. so they are trying to wave people off from that if they can. >> thank you, mark sayre in san jose. the political rangeling over who will be the next mayor of san francisco will continue tomorrow at a meeting of the board of supervisors. the board may pick an interim mayor to replace gavin newsom although is about to become lieutenant governor but more likely discussions will concentrate on how candidates are nominated. board members will vote where each supervisor can nominate

northern california can't leave his home because a tree is blocking his driveway. it's a 100-foot oak blocking the driveway in the grass valley town. the man's insurance company says it can't come out until midweek. >> i said what am i supposed to do? i'm a prisoner in my house. >> he can't hire a tree service to remove it because it will cost more than $1,000 and that's money he doesn't have. time now 5:11. iran has set a february trial date for the three american hikers accused of spying. sarah shourd, shane bauer and josh fattal were arrested more than a year ago along the iraq- iran border. shourd was freed on bail in september and returned to the u.s. the trial was originally set to begin this month but officials delayed it because shourd had not been summoned to return to iran to appear in court. bauer and fattal are in prison.

all three deny all charges. a hearing is set this morning on an effort to block california from selling state buildings. the state hopes to raise more than $1 billion by selling two dozen buildings. the suit contends the sales are unconstitutional because they include court buildings and the state judicial council has not given it approval. the plaintiffs are two former members of a state building board. 5:12. saving money on bart's new extension to san jose. why transit officials are digging in the trash for a solution. >> i spend over $100 a week in gas. >> plus you won't be saving much at th purpose. the gas pump grinch is hitting bay area drives just in time for our holiday trips. >> off to a nice start on our roads on this monday morning but we have some damp roads out there and chain requirements for the sierra. a full look at your morning commute coming up. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

we had a busy weekend up in the sierra. a thick blanket of snow in time for the holiday. several ski resorts are already

boasting a base that's several feet deep. boreal, mammoth, heavenly, squaw valley usa and northstar at tahoe are open now. several others plan to open next month. more snow is expected to fall today. a winter storm warning will be in effect late tonight throughout the day tomorrow for the sierra. so that's going to make driving difficult if you are trying to get up there for the holiday. make sure you carry chains because that's going to be a concern. but boy, that's great for the ski resorts to have so much snowfall going into the holiday. here's a look at our hi-def doppler. we're not very busy but we do still have some rainfall out there. so we're going to take a look at some showers that are moving into half moon bay headed towards redwood city, palo alto and sunnyvale and also some light showers near the ben lomond area down in the mountains there. forecast for this morning, we are going to keep a chance of showers in the forecast for the morning. temperatures in the lower 40s to the lower 50s. we are still going to have a chance of showers in the forecast through the afternoon.

it's going to be cold and windy helping the air temperature feel even colder. low pressure system digging in a bit, more showers expected today, cold temperatures and windy conditions. we are definitely moving into november. we are going to end the month on a pretty cold note. today 50s, showers tuesday, mix of sun and clouds wednesday, more sunshine on tap for thursday and friday. so the holiday looking good. and then saturday and sunday decent, i guess it depends on if you like rainfall or not. the upper 50s and another chance of showers for the weekend. thanksgiving gobble, gobble, partly cloudy and fog. temperatures in the lower to the upper 50s across the bay area. that's a look at your weather. for your traffic, here is elizabeth. >> thank you, tracy. >> you like my sound effects? gobble gobble? >> i like it! no big problems on the roads so far roblems on the roads

despite a few leftover rain showers. the roads are still a little wet. for right now near the coliseum everything looks great but you will notice the warriors symbol? warriors take on denver by the coliseum at 7:30. so expect some possible delays around there before and after the game. again, for right now 880 looks great towards downtown oakland. in fact, all your roads heading towards the bay bridge toll plaza nice and quiet. usually takes people a little while to get started on a monday morning. so far no metering lights in the bay bridge and we are seeing top speeds across the upper deck, all green. not much yellow on any sensor anywhere. if you are traveling towards the san mateo bridge, 65 miles per hour heading towards the toll plaza. and across the span, traffic is fine in either direction about a 13-minute drive time between hayward and the peninsula. i didn't mean to do this. well, we going to headway out there. we are going to head way out to the sierra. chains are required as tracy

mentioned on interstate 80, highway 50 and stretches of 88 and 4, some stretches closed because of snow. you will find those chain requirements on interstate 80 between applegate and the state line. and on highway 50 between silver fork road and highway 89. that's the traffic and weather. back to you. >> thank you. here's a check on some of the morning's top stories. berkeley police say the home invasion rape of a 13-year-old girl was not random. they say 27-year-old omar sosa attacked the girl saturday morning after climbing into her unlocked bedroom window. sosa and the family reportedly knew each other. it's believed he is headed to mexico now. today the city of oakland will begin accepting applications for industrial sized pot farms inside city limits. oakland is the first city in the nation to license wholesale pot cultivation. also the head of the

transportation security administration says his agency might tweak some of the security screenings at the nation's airports to make them as minimally invasive as possible. but any changes to the new hands-on patdowns or full-body scans won't be immediate. rubber from old tires will be a key part of the project to extend bart to san jose. construction crews plan to use at least 250,000 tires ground up in three inch chunks as shock absorbers under the new tracks. bed of rubber will reduce noise and vibration. it will cost $1.5 million less than other noise reduction methods. here's an incentive to take bart if you are flying for the holidays. there will be longer trains and more long-term parking to handle the travelers. the additional service starts the day before thanksgiving along the pittsburg-bay point line which serves sfo. travelers see the extra service

again on sunday when everyone is returning. additional shuttles will also be operating to oakland airport. there is more information on our website, cbs5.com, under "links and numbers." if you are driving somewhere for thanksgiving dinner it's going to cost more. the price of gas has shot up 5 cents in the past two weeks. 27 cents since september 1. and that could mean that people have less money to spend on their holiday shopping which is a big negative for the economy. >> nothing affects the consumer psyche more than the ups and downs in gas prices. that price is in your face. that adds a big hit to the shoppers' psyche. >> rising gas prices are a tax on consumers and business. every penny over $3 a gallon takes another $4 million a day from motorists. here in california, the average price of gas is $3.13 a gallon. the lundberg survey also says that san francisco drivers pay

the most, 3.20 a gallon. and if you want the cheapest gas in the state, you will have to drive down to fresno at 3.09. another way of getting nickeled and dimed at the grocery store. the new fee bay area shoppers may have to pay at the checkout. >> animal rescue you may have never seen. the challenge finding new homes for hundreds of rats. ,, ,,,,,,
