around the city. >> i've lived out here for a little bit. it's for sure gone to more smoke shops. i don't know if because it makes more money or what it does, but it's for sure a lot more now. >> it doesn't create a safe environment, at least for me in my home, yeah. it's just i wouldn't like to see more. >> richmond city staff conducted an investigation and say they found 78 licenses for tobacco retailers, or about two shops per square mile. they also found other stores that had no license. >> the investigation from the city, they found that at least three shops are open without any license, any permits from the city. >> vice mayor claudia jimenez joined with the mayor and another city council member. and this week at the city council meeting, called for a 45 day moratorium on issuing any new tobacco retail licenses. we continue to give license. >> we will have more and more, and the enforcement will be more difficult due to, staffing levels that we have.

video. no i, i can't do that to traumatic. >> yeah, i can't keep reliving this over and over and over again. it's so. no, i have not watched the videos. >> doctors later determined that bruce frankel was suffering a grand mal seizure, unaware of his surroundings and unable to comprehend what was going on. in the video, bruce can be seen mumbling and pushing the officer as the officer tried to grab him. he said he was treated like a criminal instead of a patient in need of medical care. >> if the police arrived and it just asked elise, you know, two questions, what's going on? and has this happened before, none of this. we wouldn't be here today. but they didn't. that officer did not do that at all. >> documents reviewed by ktvu say that police officer kevin sinnott said that frankel actively resisted him for more than two minutes. the officer ultimately pulled his taser and

shocked frankel twice. an internal review found the officer's use of force was justified, the responding officers attorney, releasing a statement reading in part, quote, while we now know this was the consequence of a seizure at the time, the officers had no such information and acted in accordance with training, law and policy. all the officers wanted to do was help make sure everyone was safe. >> i've always respected the police until now. >> the frankel say eventually emts arrived on scene and bruce frankel was taken to the hospital where he was treated and arrested for resisting arrest and faced domestic abuse allegations. frankel say that's when they began digging into the events of that night. eventually spending more than $10,000 to clear bruce frankel's name. the marin county district attorney ultimately did not file charges, but now the frankel's have filed their own lawsuit alleging abuse at the hands of central marin police department, their attorney saying the responding officers rushed to judgment and using force when medical care

was called for, and then started collaborating on their stories to build a cover up. the chief for central marin police department released a statement about the incident and lawsuit, reading in part, quote, the authority will vigorously defend itself against this meritless and factually inaccurate litigation, which has not even been served upon the authority as of yet. unfortunately, this individual has decided to first litigate his case in the media rather than in court, where we are confident the action of our officers will be vindicated. christien kafton, ktvu fox two news. >> we are now hearing from the founder of world central kitchen after seven of his eight workers were killed in gaza. coming up, why he believes the israeli air strike was no accident. plus everything is covered in dust, even here. >> all the buildings, all the offices, like it's been a mess. >> a uc berkeley student working in taiwan describes the aftermath of that massive earthquake. her firsthand account of the shaking. >> also coming up tonight, new

>> yeah that's right julie, more rain is approaching the bay area . april is a tricky month here because you might assume it's going to be clear, sunny and mild. but sometimes we get these systems in april. it kind of reverts back to winter. so that will be happening as we head into thursday and possibly friday. rainfall expectations about a 10th of an inch to over a half an inch winds. you probably notice those winds are gusting today. they'll be sticking around tomorrow. and also low snow levels here in the bay area. cold enough that we could have accumulating snow up around 4000ft, and we could have snow possibly down to around 2000 or 2500ft here in our hills. so maybe a dusting of snow in some of the bay area hills, especially for the higher peaks of the of the region. here's the satellite where you can pick out this cloud cover that moved into the bay area earlier today. you can see the speckled clouds up here. that's a sure sign of cold air that will continue to filter into the area. here's this front that moved in. you probably notice the front not much in the way of rainfall, but just that dramatic shift with those cold, blustery winds setting up. and we still

have some rain to show you right now approaching cape mendocino right around eureka. and look at all these lightning strikes outside the redding area, also approaching the sierra earlier, earlier, earlier today, we'll check out some of the current wind reports. right now you can see oakland airport gusting to around 40 miles an hour. so we still have some blustery conditions out there. sfo westerly breeze to nearly 30 miles an hour. and here is our live camera looking out toward the golden gate bridge with mostly cloudy skies. it's a cool evening. temperatures have cooled off into the upper 40s to the lower 50s. rain likely tomorrow morning with the possibility of some thunderstorms overnight. temperatures will be in the 40s. maybe the coolest locations in the upper 30s. so here's this system we are watching moving in from the north. a dramatic shift in our weather pattern for tomorrow. as you can see, that front that already moved in, but that cold air continues to settle in. this is unstable air that could lead to the possibility of some thunderstorms that could be linked up with hail, or maybe some lightning strikes. so it's gonna be one of those deals tomorrow where we have some

sunshine, some clouds building up some downpours and going back to sunshine, especially into the afternoon hours. but the conditions changing rapidly and the sierra, this is a winter weather advisory, so we continue to add to the snow pack. and the advisory runs until 11 p.m. friday. snowfall could be around 10 to 20in, so not a lot to show you right now, but look what happens. this could be a key factor for the thursday morning commute. maybe some heavy downpours or some thunderstorms out there. and then into the afternoon hours notice we have some breaks in the action, but we can't go completely dry. some sun, some clouds and still some pop up showers that could lead to some thunderstorms. this is 9:00 tomorrow night and then into friday. still the possibility of some scattered showers throughout the day. we could see a band possibly move in during the afternoon hours, so no more 70s, no more 60s temperatures tomorrow. only in the 50s for afternoon highs. and of course, we're watching the weather closely for the giants home opener on friday. lots of cloud cover. there's the possibility of a shower. we'll have to keep an eye on the radar and temperatures in the lower 50s. here's a look ahead. your

five day forecast a bit unsettled for thursday and into friday with the chance of some thunderstorms. if you want to clear things out, it looks like we should have improving conditions for the weekend with partly to mostly sunny skies, so probably a better chance to get outside for both. saturday and sunday. >> all right. sounds good mark. thank you. well, the powerball jackpot continues to grow. there was no big winner again in tonight's drawing. the winning numbers are 1138 41, 62, 65. and the powerball is 15. the jackpot has now grown to just over $1.2 billion. the next drawing is this saturday. >> did the a's get shut out for a third time in seven games? we'll have that story next. in sports. >> then on the 11:00 news, a car plunges over a cliff, landing 100ft below in tonight's west coast rap, how crews struggled to get the
