following a developing story out of san francisco. an officer involved shooting in the bayview neighborhood happened just before three this afternoon near jennings street and carroll avenue. now, within the last half hour, sfpd held a news conference with details. police say no one was hit by gunfire during the shooting, but they do tell us that the suspect, an adult male, was taken to the hospital with injuries from non-lethal use of force. they aren't giving us specifics about what that kind of force was. they did say a weapon was recovered on scene. now this is still an active investigation, all as sfpd officers involved shootings, a town hall meeting will be held in ten days with more information about this. the person responsible for destroying freshly planted trees in san jose has been arrested. 26 trees were planted earlier this month and the willow neighborhood on friday, sapd received a report of vandalism and when the officers arrived, they discovered that the trees

had been damaged. surveillance footage showed a man damaging the trees. later that evening, an officer on patrol spotted him and the man was arrested. well, causing more problems than it's solving. that's what some san bruno businesses and drivers say about a new downtown paid parking system. the goal of the new paid parking system was to improve parking turnover on downtown streets and drive long term parking into lots. now to do this, the city installed pay by plate parking kiosks, but some businesses say the system has seen too many technical issues. customers are frustrated that they have to pay for at least an hour, even if they're only running into a store for a few minutes. shop owners say the result is fewer customers. i don't believe it's a fair system , there is a minimum one hour you have to park for me and my customers. i have most of them. they come here to drop off their documents or pick up their documents. all it takes them is a maximum 2 to 3 minutes. five

minutes. police say this is still in the early stages and technical issues are being resolved and monitored. and they add the system. it appears to be doing exactly what it was supposed to do, which is free up more parking spots, more often. the department also says the city is working on better signage and parking permit options for residents to catch a thief, the affluent peninsula town of atherton, using a unique method to try to snag some burglars in the act, police say neighbors are volunteering to use their homes as bait houses. nbc bay area's robert handa joins us from atherton with the details on how it works. atherton is a very small but upscale community, one of the most prosperous in the country. that makes the town a target for burglaries and requires the police to be responsive and innovative. this drone is the type used by atherton police for all types of emergency situations, and now it's part of a system designed to catch burglars. the town has had a dramatic rise in home burglaries

this year, double the rate of last year, so police came up with the idea of turning about 50 homes into so-called bait houses. we are not showing any of those homes in this story, but the bait is out there and waiting. what we're doing is we're embedding tracking devices into items of property that we believe subjects want to target when they're committing burglaries. and so the idea behind it is, once one of these items starts being moved, we will get a notification at the police department, which is going to start our response. the police response is to launch a drone to follow the tracking device. then there are about 50 mounted license plate readers throughout the town that can detect the getaway vehicle and provide a description, all in hopes of apprehending the burglars. in this town of only five square miles. residents we talked to were impressed. we have three of the license plate cameras surrounding the loudon park neighborhood of. i mean, i don't know, basically, i don't like surveillance much, but i think this is an effective

scheme. police acknowledge the bait houses are similar to bait cars designed to tempt thieves, but emphasize with bait houses. there is no trying to entice burglars. we are not setting homes up to where? hey! come here. this is the house that we want you to burglarize. it is a home where we're working with the community and they're saying, hey, we're interested in this program. we're going into their homes embedding those tracking devices on stuff that is already existing inside of the property. and then once it gets taken, then we start our investigation. technology should be used for good purposes. and this sounds like a good purpose. much of the community seems to agree. the police department says more and more homeowners have said they're willing to participate enough so that the police say they plan to rotate in different houses to place the bait in atherton, robert honda, nbc, bay area news a brentwood man is being called a hero tonight. this after saving a three year old little girl from this burning car moments before

it exploded and it was all caught on camera. nbc bay area's jodi hernandez talked to the man who risked his life to save that child. instincts? absolutely. adrenaline kicked in. i was i was all go, you know, it was go mode. and like i said, i'm a marine and we're trained to just, you know, react without thought. and 40 year-old troy white describes the rescue mode that kicked in when he realized a little girl was trapped inside a burning car that had just crashed on highway four tuesday evening. white was driving his own young daughter home from soccer practice when they saw the crash scene and pulled over, ran over there as fast as i could. when i got there, the mother was climbing out of the vehicle through the top that troy looked inside the car and saw a three-year-old stuck in her car seat. she was just dangling and her foot was touching the ground through the broken window hole. she was saying, help me, help me, help me three times. and then she said, i don't like this. as the panicked mom screamed for him to get her out, troy struggled with the car seat straps, knowing the

car could explode at any time. a third of the undercarriage of the vehicle was in flames and, you know, it crossed my mind that it was dangerous, but, you know, it has to be done. thankfully, he was able to release the girl and lift her out to safety. just a few minutes later, the car exploded and the girl's mom texted us from the hospital today where they're still undergoing tests. paisley's father and i owe everything to troy as he saved the most important thing to us because of him. my daughter gets to celebrate her fourth birthday, she said. just honored to be able to do it and thankful that i was there. troy says he's grateful he was there to help. the former marine is also a recovering addict who has been working and praying hard to lead a better life. i'm six months clean and sober today and, life is, life is so good today, and i'm so blessed. paisley's mother

to the next survivor. the governor's proposed budget includes cuts to what are called excess eraf funds and property tax money that's left over after funding schools for the year. for santa clara county, it's a $36 million annual hit, and that's a hit to a county that's already facing a $251 million deficit this year. what do counties do? safety net services for the most vulnerable in our community. and so this is a grab of money away from critical safety net services. services like senior nutrition programs and health care for children. we should be very concerned. this is ongoing revenue. it funds critical services. in a statement, the state finance department said for 30 years, these revenues have been directed to fund k through 12 schools, but charter schools have been recently left out of the equation. this proposal would ensure that all local agencies receive these funds. the state legislature would have to approve the budget trailer

work. and with this big coloring book we're creating, she says. response from the community has been so overwhelming. the volunteer slots are already filled and 300 people are on a waiting list. the ceo of san jose downtown association predicts the mural will be a game changer. people think of downtown san jose. there's nothing really specific that comes up. what it stands for. my vision has been that this mural will become a symbol for downtown. it embodies literally everything. downtown is vibrancy , diversity, colorfulness and art. building community by bringing color to concrete in san jose, marianne favro nbc bay area news. it should be fun. i hope we have some good weather for that too. jeff. how well, you know, we got colder weather tomorrow. okay. and then sunday and monday we're going to start to see things warming up for us. no rain though, at least. yeah, exactly. that'll work. don't even say the r word out loud.
