shooting a home depot loss prevention worker tried to kill herself in the back of an alameda county sheriff's cruiser, given the fact that the seatbelt was wrapped around the subject's neck three times. you know, we're viewing this as an attempt. suicide sheriff's deputies quickly set her up and took her out of the car outside her east oakland apartment. she was able to take a deep breath in and regain consciousness. licensed security guard with priors for theft, was treated at a hospital and then booked early friday at santa rita jail in dublin. alameda county. prosecutors have charged naps with murder in the shooting death of home depot worker blake mose pleasant and police say nap stolen items from the store. pulled a gun from her purse and shot mose at point blank range after he confronted her. she later said she fired by accident . the victim died just months before his wedding. authorities say naps jumped into a nissan pathfinder, driven by her boyfriend, david guillory, and had her 21 month old daughter in her lap as deputies in the sheriff's plane chased them to oakland. she got out of the

vehicle with a child in arms. the tragedy raises questions about the role security and loss prevention workers have at stores, ktvu legal analyst michael cardoza says many retail killers instruct their staff. not to confront shoplifters or risk being fired a certain level they're worried about their own employee, but not as much as being sued by the thieves. and they'd rather tell the security guard just let them go. don't worry about it. we will take the hit, cardoza says. what happened at home depot is exactly the situation businesses want to avoid, with shoplifters given free rein. retailers have security guards, theoretically, to birth sent to prevent theft. but nowadays that doesn't seem to be the purpose at all. now the couple has been charged with child abuse. the boyfriend's been charged with being an accessory and felony evade, including driving on the wrong side of the road, a high speed as far as the alleged shooter. she is now under suicide watch

pulled out her phone and began to record as another pastor intervened. he was pelted with an egg the egg at him at top speed. and then said, i'm getting off the bus. but young said the egging didn't stop there. the assailant circled back. he ran from the corner alongside the bus, saami, look me in the eye and then decided to throw another egg at full speed. right um, right into the window. and if you look at the video, you can see that even though i was behind the window, i was really startled. prosecutors announced thursday that 44 year old joseph benjamin, had been charged with misdemeanor battery and hate crimes. the district attorney, saying, although this is a misdemeanor case, staying true to her promise to take incidents of hate based crimes seriously, that is absolutely something that we will not tolerate. in san francisco. neither the assaultive behavior nor the fact that this seemed to be motivated by his hatred towards a certain group of people. young is a journalist and said it was instinct to record the incident

about our impacts on the planet before then, the e p a environmental protection agency did not even exist. at that time. industrial companies faced few regulations about the handling of toxic chemicals and greenhouse gas emissions. vogel takes a look at how much has changed since then, and has more on this year's upcoming earth day celebrations. saturday marks the 53rd annual earth day, and this year's theme is invest in our planet. it's something some biologists believe is critical because of our changing climate from greenhouse gas emissions already threatening where many of us live along with the vital crops. we need to survive places that used to have ample rain during the growing season, are now suffering droughts and places that used to be drier or now suffering floods. making it much more difficult to know

where and when to plant and rely on crops, so it's becoming really risky to rely on regions that we've been relying on as major sources of food from the peaks of the purple mountains, majesty to the depths of the oceans, wildlife experts say the choices we make every day like using single use plastics, for example, impact ecosystems around us. we can't continue to consume without regard to the commonwealth of the planet. we also can't keep expecting someone else to fix the problems we all contribute to. but aside from choosing greener transportation and energy options and going beyond recycling and planting trees, environmentalists say investing in our planet also means investing in ourselves. environmental impact on the planet is lessened. uh when people have jobs and opportunities if we look after each other the plan it's going to be a better place to learn more about how you can take

action. visit earth day dot org . i need a vogel, fox news governor newsom announced. california has reached its goal of selling 1.5 million zero emission vehicles in the state two years ahead of schedule. in 2012, then governor jerry brown set the goal and expected to reach it by 2025 the governor's office as back then many people thought it was an unrealistic goal. no other state in the nation is doing as much as we are to accelerate our clean energy future and that starts with unprecedented investments to make these cars more affordable for california and families and deploying chargers across our neighborhoods. california adopted new regulations last year requiring 100% of new car sales to be zero emission by 2035 years of persistent drought across the large portions of the country are causing scientists in the rocky mountains to use a technique called cloud seeding to raise critically low water levels, according to the u. s

bureau of reclamation, roughly 40 million americans across seven states. rely on water from the colorado for drinking farming and recreation. one of the scientists explains the process. eating is a process that injects silver iodide particles into clouds that are not producing ice very well on their own. we can insert the silver iodide through aircraft flying in the clouds or from ground based generators that release the smoke plume that flows up into the clouds over the mountains. and once the silver iodide gets into the cloud, it forms ice and then that ice can readily grow into snow. with the experiment. scientists also say that well, this is a safe improvement process. it's not always a guarantee that it works. california though, probably doesn't need to worry about cloud seeding anytime soon. we've got a mother lode of a snowpack. and that means california communities will see something they haven't seen in 17 years. ktvu tom vacar joins us with a look at just how much water is on its way. the california department of water

resources dwr is telling the 29 public water agencies serving 27 million californians. they'll get 100% of the water they request that's not happened in 17 years, even early in the melt tributaries and the rivers they fill are already at very high flows. the key reason for that is right now throughout the sierra. the snowpack is 256% of its historical average for the week at 2.5. up your supply. federal hydrologist and river flow. forecaster alan haynes says this in a year like this, it's going to be high flows. uh well into the summer. we're going to some of the snow. we expect to stick around, probably into august. how fast the deep snowpack melts is strictly dependent on how warm it gets. especially at night. how cloudy it is and the angle of the sun. so as that gets steeper later in the spring, and the temperatures warm than the snowpack really becomes what we call ripe dam

operators have no choice but to dump lots of water right now to assure space for all that snowpack melt that impacts downstream. rivers flows are considerably higher. they're pretty much running as much water as the system. can handle example. analysis some 10 miles southeast of tracy, the san joaquin river is running at the rate of 30,000 cubic feet per second. that's the equivalent of the context of 25 4 size gasoline tanker trucks flowing by every second or 1500 trucks full every minute. could go higher gets dangerous if it goes higher, a very possible flow increase of just 20% could threaten to overtop flood control levees and puts enormous pressure against levee walls that undermines or erodes them. the 82 83 when it, uh, sort of reappeared. it took a year to get rid of that water. this could be this could be worse than that even rivers that

appear to be calm on the surface are extremely cold. with fast running currents. anyone who falls in jumps in or rafts or kayaks it on their own without professional guys is flirting with hypothermia. and drowning. tom baker, ktvu fox two news. and cross the bay area this afternoon. temperatures are running 5 to 15 degrees above the average with low eighties for some of our inland cities right now and along the peninsula, giving you a live look here a over mountie album where we do have high clouds overhead ridge of high pressure will be in and around bringing us this pattern, at least for a couple of days. it breaks down slightly on sunday. i'll show you that here in just a moment giving you a live look from up above this vantage point with the satellite view where you can see those high clouds out there. little bit of fog expected to try to develop along the coastline, and this afternoon, the breeze is up at sfo winds are gusting to 37 mph half moon bay reporting sustained at 18 hayward 14. we will have the
