elementary school in san francisco monday morning, a sight no one has seen here and more than a year students coming to school being part of a classroom again. at least one first grader apparently lost him sleep in anticipation, little garage because he's been up all night, but he had the justice hours definitely different where we're used to doing this in august two, notes april. it's the first day of school is the first day of school on whenever it happens. we still we still sort of feel those jitters. this is one of 22 public elementary schools and a live in early education sites reopening monday as the schools of staggered dates for resuming in person instruction through april, students still have the option of remote learning, but it's all but certain middle and high school students will have to wait until fall to return, with the exception of special and homeless in foster care students. we are still looking at the possibility of. possibly getting a great level back, so we're still looking at that, but for most middle and high,
5:01 pm
it will be the folks still getting elementary schools open was not an easy road. there were difficult labor negotiation, school board, squabbling and even a lawsuit by the city attorney demanding schools reopen. it took a lot of, you know, honestly, people putting aside the drama and their differences and doing what's in the best interest of the children across the bay in san leandro school reopened here it, james madison elementary added. every other school in the district pre k through 12. we do anything for that to go back with school and i know that school is doing it very safely. the students here in smaller classes while wearing masks with desk, six ft apart. students come in two days a week. they can learn anything that school and it was pretty hard at that computer. there's always glitchy and everything. students can decide to come back if they want to. by comparison, santaland you had a return rate of 30 to 40% while san francisco's as much
5:02 pm
higher at 70% julie ah, big day. certainly rob, thank you and his thousands of san francisco elementary school students returned in person instruction today, the parents of middle and high school students are frustrated and are speaking out. they want their children back in the classroom, too, just in the past. were students and their families gathered on franklin street in front of san francisco unified school district central offices to voice their concerns their demanding that middle and high school students be invited back to their classrooms this spring as well. it's been very difficult, socially, especially but also academically. you just don't learn a lot be a zoom in very restricted hours of class. you know you you learned by being in front of somebody and having a social interaction with you. teacher parents and students say they're upset the district has failed to put into place a plan for in person learning for middle and high school students. they were
5:03 pm
quick to point out that such a plan would be in accordance with local state and federal public health experts. the district has said, until the overwhelming majority of middle and high schoolers can get back to in person learning it is committed to making distance learning as engaging as possible now to the coronavirus, nearly 23 million doses. of coronavirus. vaccines have now been administered here in california. according to the latest data, there are now over 365,000 a day being administered in california, although that is down slightly from the daily number of shots last friday, so far over 37 a half million and a half percent of california's population of around 40 million have received at least one dose. 22% of those are fully vaccinated. later this week, everyone 16 and older in the state of california will be able to get vaccinated. but in contra costa county and alameda county vaccinations for that age group are already underway, including
5:04 pm
at the mass vaccination side of the oakland coliseum. ktvu jesse gary here now and jesse, both of those counties are now helping to run that site, frank. that's exactly right. plus the state. don't forget the state in this. since the february the federal government under the umbrella of fema has been overseeing covid shy stop shots at that so called mega site residents in alameda and contra costa county who are 16 and above us, frank said, can now get vaccinated, officials say keeping this site open for the next month under the control of those two counties, plus the state furthers the goal of getting everyone vaccinated. fauci at the oakland coliseum is imperceptible. a few 100 people are lined up to receive covid inoculation. but beginning monday, contra costa and alameda counties along with the state or running this facility, we've been working in partnership with our with other counties since the beginning of
5:05 pm
this, you know, so we're quite well versed in regional projects and working together. we haven't had any challenges yet. spokeswoman kima carl says the site will be able to vaccinate upwards of 6000 people per day. another 5000 can get this protection from the covid-19 virus through the use of mobile vaccination clinics that will target underserved east bay communities. for weeks, many residents around the bay have complained of a feast or famine circumstance when tracking down vaccine availability. currently there's openings in some places and shortages in another. and if we have one central place where key people are talking to each other, it can relieve the bottlenecks that we're seeing. over the weekend, alameda county lowered the age of eligibility from 50 and older to 16 and older contra costa county had taken this action a week earlier and well ahead of the state's april 15th deadline. more people have to pay attention to who is and who is not eligible. the more confusing against and people
5:06 pm
who might not have drugs as access to information or to technology might choose not to try toe figure out whether they're eligible. so opening up to 16 and above was really a neck witty issue for us. the state is providing half the weekly vaccine allotment. the burden of the remaining half is equally shared between alameda and contra costa counties. the key is to get as many people vaccinated as quickly as possible. the coliseum site is open through the first full week of may from nine in the morning till seven in the evening monday through sunday and again the ages 16 and above in contra costa and alameda counties. put all that information on our website ktvu .com. we're live in san jose this evening. jesse gary ktvu fox two news. well back to you. all right, just say thank you to recall effort is underway against windsor mayor dominic the pole. ling. at least six women have come forward, accusing him of sexual assault
5:07 pm
are crime reporter henry lee has more now on the effort to remove a poli from office, a group of windsor residents is now marshaling efforts to force mayor dominic for pulling out. at least six women are now accusing him of sexual assault. now is the time for him to leave tim's honor his chair of the recall for poli campaign, he says that the mayor doesn't go willingly. ah large coalition of windsor residents will file paperwork to force him out. mothers, fathers, coaches, volunteers, all walks of life in windsor who are ready to remove him from office. but zahner says there's still time for the mayor to take the next step. i think right now they're probably has a chance to do the right thing, which he knows. what he has to do, and i think so many people have come forward and said the right thing to do is to resign. you see one side of a person when you're working with them, and there's evidently another side that none of us saw windsor town council member deborah fudge says she'll move to censure the mayor at a special meeting wednesday. the council will also ask for
5:08 pm
pulley to resign. dominic is unfit to lead this community and we need to end his service here immediately as fast as we can. this is a political situation and his political situation i believe is untenable. he's not going to last as mayor of windsor, the sonoma county sheriff is now investigating the mayor, who has not been charged with a crime. but he's been kicked out of the family winery and his brother is among those who want him to step down. the mayor has declined interview requests, although some alleged sexual assaults may be too old to prosecute. because of the statue of limitations. ktvu legal analyst michael cardoza says those incidents could still be used to establish a pattern of predatory conduct. the prior's can be used to show motive opportunity, a similar actions so a judge has to decide should they come into evidence or not? and once again, that was our henry lee reporting since one of the women accusing the mayor is a sonoma county deputy district

5:13 pm
the coast just like yesterday and the five will return tonight. live camera outside and you kind of see, i guess you kind of pick out a little fog there. if you look that enough, yeah, i thought condensation occurring so the marine layer is in full force right now. the sea surface temperatures are pretty cool. there's plenty of fog at the coast, so it's going to be a player for the next few days. and the way it goes is we're gonna cool off a little bit as we head into tomorrow and the next couple days beyond that, that's a cold. it's just not gonna be in the low eighties. it's going to be mid 70 something like that. so here the current temperatures and as you look, you can see that 82 fairfield 82 brown would you can see where the sea breezes and you could see where the sea breeze is not right? certainly where the where the greens are that your sea breeze and it topography plays a lot into it, doesn't it? so if you have a hills or something that blocks like hear that blocks the cool breeze from getting inland, you've got seven. you know, you get 76 in the livermore valley, those hills blocking it off and so. temperatures right now about where they were yesterday. so this pattern is going to
5:14 pm
hold all this week with some minor fluctuations in the minor fluctuations will be a little bit of a cool down and my mind the headlines are. where's the rain? we're in big trouble and to the tree pollens are going off. i mean, if you look at your car, you know you go out shopping or whatever you're doing these days. get the kids to school. there's paul and everywhere so the trees have really lit up and in an aggressive way, especially the folks in the pines right now, but every really if his blooms on the tree out front, so those are the two weather headlines. where's the rain and boy? we look at the paul and here's upon the winds outside classic springtime winds westerly. that's how it goes tonight tomorrow. in the next couple of days and the wind tomorrow come up a little bit more. it's not. i wouldn't call windy. i'm just it's just typical sea breeze, but it's going to be a spring seabreeze, which would be pretty robust. so right now head sam cisco airports run into 28 mile an hour gusts 13 mile 13 miles an hour wind speed sustained at livermore. so what do we got? we got a
5:15 pm
nice looking day tomorrow just like today and then subtle trends. as we move through this week, we'll look at those suddenly subtleties when i see next. a curfew is now in effect in brooklyn center. minnesota more protests are expected there tonight following the release of body camera footage from yesterday's deadly police shooting. the police chief says the officer mistakenly shot for gun instead of a stun gun, killing a 20 year old black man during a traffic stop brooklyn center minnesota is about 10 miles from minneapolis, where george floyd was killed. the police chief says he released the body camera footage in the interest of. full transparency. fox news. lauren blanchard joins us now live in minneapolis with more on what happened, lauren. hi julie. will authorities here are bracing for another night of arrest, not only from brooklyn center about 10 miles away from here. but here to make apple is this is after a police officer wastrying to arrest a man instead of firing her gun. she
5:16 pm
instead of firing her taser, she fired a gun. icu. the incident shown in graphic body cam footage. the brooklyn centers police chief says the shooting of 20 year old dante right appears to be an accident. the officer pulled her gun, not her intended taser. this appears to me from what i viewed in the officer's reaction in distress immediately after that this was an accidental discharge that resulted in the tragic death of mr right right was pulled over sunday afternoon for expired tags. officers discovered he had an outstanding warrant for possession of a handgun without a permit. as they tried to apprehend him. he broke free and jumped in the car. that's when an officer used her gun, theo officer has been placed on administrative leave during the ongoing investigation. wright's death just miles from where the trial of former minneapolis officer derrick show vin
5:17 pm
entered its third week. we are in pain right now, and we recognize that this couldn't have happened at a worse. time. wright's death sparked violent protests lasting into monday morning. national guard troops have been mobilized across the city. i have declared a state of emergency in the city of minneapolis, president biden has urged people to protest peacefully. there is absolutely no justification, none for looting, no justification for violence, peaceful protest understandable. and the streets are quiet here in minneapolis for a monday evening. that's because of curfew is already in effect. not only here but also saying paul from seven o'clock local time until tomorrow morning, julie or blanchard in minneapolis tonight, lauren thank you, one of the most well known cases of an officer using a firearm instead of a stun gun happened in oakland back in 2009, former bart police
5:18 pm
officer johannes mehserle, lee said he reached for a stun gun. but mistakenly pulled out his handgun instead and shot and killed oscar grant at the fruitvale bart station. mr lee was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to two years in prison. joining us now to talk more about that shooting in brooklyn center is our legal expert, michael cardoza. he's worked as both a prosecutor and as a defense attorney, michael this case in minnesota is almost exactly the same as the killing of oscar grant. and in this case, you hear the officers say taser taser taser and then. immediately, she says holy blank. i just shot him. how does a mistake like that happen? well it happened before, as you say with oscar grant, i believe it was back in kansas. another officer mistakenly thought he had it stays here in his hand, and he didn't. so what does happen? i know there will be ah, lot of people that say, how can you confuse your handgun with a
5:19 pm
taser? that is a different color and is bigger than and got well, we know what happens. we know they're very volatile situations, emotional situations, and obviously this officer in good faith really thought that they had their taster in their hand and not their handgun. it's a sad situation, and the timing truly is awful, the police chief today said that they train officers to put their guns on the side where they shoot. so if you're a right handed shot, you'd have the gun on your right side. the taser would be on the other side so that you have to reach across your body to get it. i get the things happened fast. i get that the suspect tried to get away. but regardless, this kind of thing just can't happen. well it certainly shouldn't happen. but sadly by the prior is measure early and going back to the midwest. it does happen. so do we talk about their training of the officers? i think the
5:20 pm
train's good enough. it's the emotional state of the officer at the time, how they handle a volatile situation and obviously, in this case, this officer did not handle it very well. but i think people should look at this step back. certainly not riot. certainly not loot. certainly not do those things but take a hard look at this because it does beg the question. they're arresting. mr right? why does he fight? why does he start to run? i mean, stay there. let them handcuff you. so those questions have to be faced. the officer should not have done this. and how culpable is this officer in this situation is nowhere near the shop in case it will be in the eye of the beholder and watching the states. that conclusion depends on where you come from. and how emotionally vested you are in this. with johannes muscly. he was convicted of involuntary manslaughter. as we just
5:21 pm
reported he was sentenced to two years ended up serving 11 months. the officer in brooklyn center was a veteran of the department. what do you think is going to happen to her? do you think she will be charged? and if so, what would the charge be? well, i would imagine it would be manslaughter or negligent type of approach to the crime. but the real question is, should she be charged in this particular case? what happened? why did it happen this way? you've got to listen to the officer. now i'll be very interested, frank and find enough. was there anything and mr wright's car? was there. remember he's being arrested for a warrant where gun was involved? was there a gun in the cart? and he didn't want to face that? i don't know if there was, but that's why this is going to take a full investigation and whether the officers should or shouldn't be charged is going to be up to the government. i think the district attorney should step aside and let the state attorney and minnesota take a
5:22 pm
look at this to see. i know a lot of people will be upset if they are not charged. but this real he appears to be an accident. so do you charge in officer with that they can, and if they do, i would imagine it would be manslaughter. i guess just playing the devil's advocate here. it just seems like this officer should be charged. it was a mistake. i get it, but it was a deadly mistake. and i keep thinking, okay. what if that was one of my daughters or michael? i could put it to you. what if that was your son? it would be very hard for me to accept the officer not being charged and held responsible in some way, and i absolutely agree with you. i have three daughters and a son if one of those this type of thing happened to my kids, i'd be going out of my mind. and what in the officer in charge, but i think calmer minds have to take a look at this. will the officer be charged if i had the bed? yes that officer will be charged.
5:23 pm
will that officer be convicted? that's the real question. you put this to a jury, and i think you're going to get a lot of different opinions and what government has to do when they charge is to take the emotion out of it. that's why frank they wouldn't let you or i charge this case because we have kids and we would be exceptionally livid about this, so i don't care. if it's a mistake. you should've been better drink. why did you do this? how did you confuse your handgun? with your taser. that's not possible. well, we know it is possible so calmer minds have to get in here and decide what's going to happen. well, the officer be charged in my opinion, yes. will she be connected the officer be convicted. that's the real question. all right, michael, we're gonna leave it there. thank you so much for taking the time to talk with us. we appreciate it. welcome. stay healthy. you too, the judge in the derrick show been a murder trial refused a defense request

5:38 pm
as possible as a new spike intensifies. the daily average of new cases is now close to 70,000 3% increase from last week and hospitalizations her up more than 6% prompting health officials to recommend pulling back on reopening plans. we know that the vaccine will have a delayed response. the answer to that is to really close things down. a big driver of the new surge covid-19 variants, including one from the uk that has become the dominant strain in the us, some americans are now getting a vaccine shot for a third time as both visor and moderna start clinical trials for booster doses. targeting those new strains. we have this new strain coming out of south africa and in england, so i just decided why not? the trials come is vaccine access expands across the country, the white house says. by next week, all adults will be eligible and more states are allowing
