Now, at 6:00 AM, a water main

What we're learning this mornin,
my wife didn't realize that thes
were already expired over 15 ye.
She was crying when I got home.r
passport is expired.
Maybe the city is making things
easier before your next trip.
And what we're seeing outside is
another cool day across the coa,
but we're going to keep
the warm up going inland.
We'll talk more about the
dramatic warm up that we'll
see into next week. Coming up,
you're watching CBS8 mornings at six.
Yeah, take a look at this.
We begin with some new video in
from overnight a water main brek
sent water shooting into the ai.
This is an Escondido.
It all started just after
11 last night on Encino Dr.
South of 17th. As you can see,
the street became flooded.
Look what firefighters were up against.
They're not clear if any homes were flooded,
but it didn't make it on to
someone's driveway in the area.
We are working to gather more information.
And we will keep you updated
just as soon as we learn more.
Thank you so much for joining u.
It is 6:00 AM on this Thursday.
Yeah. Don't worry. Yeah.
I volunteered for this shift.
I, Heather Meyers,
in for Eric Connors.
And
I'm David Murray, Making it go,
filling in for Netta around for You're
waking up with us this morning.
Our top story is a man and a won
accused of going on a crime spr.
They are under arrest
and police say they shot a pers,
robbed a smoke shop at gunpoint,
carjacked several people.
CBS's Chris Grow live outside
police headquarters to explain
how this all started and then
came to an end here. Chris.
Yeah, from one end of
the county to the other,
with a host of crimes committed in between.
We start in Imperial Beach.
Where just after 5:00 PM reports came
in that somebody was shot on Loudon St.
there, and when officers arrived they
did not find those that were responsible.
However, they did learn that thy
were potentially driving a stolen BMW
that was reported stolen on July 3rd.
Well, thanks to some pretty key communication
between law enforcement agencie,
deputies actually were able to see that that
same vehicle was reported fleeing a scene
where someone shot at a home on Coben St.
In Valencia Park.
Thankfully no one was hurt ther.
Then another report came in that
that same shooter and an accompe
robbed a smoke shop in El Cajon.
They fired at the shop owner
but did not hit them.
They then crashed a stolen
car and stole another.
In fact, in total,
police say a three cars were
stolen during this entire saga.
Now the reason why it ended
up in North County?
Well that's where the two
were actually apprehended,
in a parking lot in Encinitas.
They eventually did surrender.
To San Diego County Sheriff Deps
now the big question is who arey
and what charges will they be facing?
Likely a list,
a long list of felonies.
Now As for the person that was ,
we understand they were taken te
hospital and we're still waiting also
to find out what their status i.
So while we know a lot about what they did,
there are still a lot of
unanswered questions at this ho.
Right now at 6:00 o'clock in the morning.
We are waiting for updates
and as soon as we get them,
we will be sure to bring them to you,
Heather and Dana Marie.
Chris, thank you for the update this morning.
A San Diego man has died from an apparent
heat illness at Death Valley National Park.
The National Park Service is a 65 year
old was found in his car Monday morning.
Authorities say his car was worg
but the air conditioning was no.
The high temperature on Sunday was 126
degrees and overnight the temp was 98.
Death Valley is known to be onef
the hottest places on the plane.
A man is dead after a portion
of a large tree fell on him.
Officials say it happened about
11:00 o'clock yesterday morning
on Altazano Drive in El Cajon,
a neighborhood just a little
West of Chaparral High School.
We're told that the man fell whe
cutting down a large tree on his
property and sadly died on scen.
Man accused of killing his roome
set to appear in court today.
Officers found the 58 year old
victim suffering from stab wouns
in North Park Sunday night.
39 year old Jonathan Camp was arrested.
Officials believe Camp lived ine
residence with his father and the victim.
It's not clear what led up to the stabbing,
but police say there may have been go an
ongoing dispute about the living situation.
And today county leaders,
they're launching a new initiate
to help homeless veterans.
It's called Leave No Veteran Homeless.
Officials say our region is alry
successful in helping these veterans.
According to the Regional
Task Force on Homelessness,
the number of homeless veterans
dropped 35% from 2020 to 2022.
County leaders say they've developed a
more comprehensive and upright approach.
Officials will announce more
details later this morning,
and the city of San Diego opened a new safe
sleeping site in Golden Hill last week.
But this morning, people say.
There, the city is not really
delivering on all of its promis.
Some say the city wasn't ready to open.
One person says the city is providing
little to no counseling to help
them improve their situation,
and there are still no showers,
no laundry and the bathroom pro.
Also, at the site,
there was no water in the Porta
potties, so if somebody used it,
it was just there stacking up.
Of course, that's not sanitary.
The city director of communicats
says mobile showers come to the site.
Laundry is off site,
but accessible to those clients.
The site initially accommodated0
residents and it has since growo
house 19 individuals in 13 tent.
The city plans to expand the
facility to 136 tents. Later
today, the San Diego Police Department
will be holding a community meeting on
the use of their body worn came.
This isn't an effort to comply h
the city surveillance ordinance
to bring more transparency.
And accountability to the department.
They will be asking for communiy
feedback and the public will be able to
comment on some of the technologies used.
Meanwhile, the Sheriff's Departt
says changes are happening insie
San Diego County jails.
The department has faced criticm
over the number of in custody deaths.
San Diego County Sheriff Kelly Martinez
just announced advancements in r
processes to streamline operati.
She says millions have been
invested in technology.
The department has upgraded the
camera system and deputies in te
jails now wear body worn camera.
Martinez also says there is an
effort being made to keep drugs
from entering the jails.
People
who come into our custody are
not always in the best of medicl
and mental health conditions,
so that's really our focus.
I did, however, have oversight d
authority over our homicide team that did
take that case to the DA's office. So
if there's staff that are culpae
and in any of the deaths
that occur in our facility,
we will hold people accountable.
And so far this year, there have
been eight in custody deaths
inside San Diego County jails.
And this morning,
the city of San Diego says it's making
progress on street light repair.
But there's still a long way to.
So far, crews have fixed
more than 400 lights.
Council member Steven Whitburn
says they're working to make
downtown feel safer for those
who live here and those visitin.
Whitburn says one problem they'e
dealing with is that people
experiencing homelessness use those St.
lights as power outlets.
They have pulled out the wiring
and they've connected various
impliances and such to that wir,
in some cases microwaves.
Other times it's cell phones,
and that is not only dangerous o
the individual, but it causes te
lights to go out
now. To stop that from happenin,
Whitburn says the city is now placing lock
boxes on street light poles, About 6000 St.
Lights still need to be fixed.
Officials say by the end of the summer,
600 more of those lights will be prepared.
And the first full day a San Diego Comic
Con is exactly 2 weeks away from today.
Here is the clock countdown and
this morning we are expected the
official schedule to be release.
Right now, major studios are
skipping the famous Hall H,
which people usually camp out f.
It's such a big part of
the Comic Con experience,
it comes amid writers strikes ad
also a possible actors strike.
Actors have extended negotiatios
to next week,
but directors already reached
a deal with studios,
so they are set to attend the convention.
A panel called Directors on Directing
has already been announced for l
H We'll have to wait and see toy
what other panels will be held,
and this morning we are getting a look
at the limited edition chocolate bars
that will be sold during Comic .
The names include Crop Circle Crunch.
Ooh Bay Lunch Box Hero and Cospy
Crackle chocolate bars started
being sold inside the Convention
Center in 2016 as an exclusive
for Comic Con attendees.
It's now became a tasty traditin
and probably collectibles item as well.
I
think we can get one. Seen those before?
I'd like to try them out.
I think we should order
something, you say?
Can we do we have a connection in Comic Con?
Is there so we can call? Guys,
I think Chris Crow is gonna
be inside on Thursday.
We'll just have him scattered o.
Yeah, we'll have him get us chocolate ball.
We will not let Chris out
of the Convention Center.
Have you guys heard of a
YouTube called Mr. Beast?
Yes, he's been all over
social media recently.
OK, so he has chocolate bars to,
Highly sought after by young pe.
Should we make chocolate bars? Because
anyone going to buy
them CVSA chocolate bar,
no one would buy
them. We would just eat them all ourselves.
I try to think I have like my fr
on the pulse of like the Gen.
Z culture. I don't. I'm trying my best.
You know, it's like I'm a millennial at
heart and I think I always will be so.
It's tough for me to finally come to terms
with the fact that I am not a gensier
that you can't because you're k.
It's it's truly amazing.
I know like it's how it's going.
I am old now, clock is in 610 rt
now and take a look at what we've got
outside for the forecast 70s along the coast,
meaning we're still in that
cooler than average range.
We have been for weeks on end,
average is 74 along the coast.
Last several days we've only made it to
about 72 degrees, so still comfortable.
By all means enjoy it.
However, as you move farther E
you start to climb into the 80s.
Eighty 2 for your inland valley,
84 for the mountains out in the
deserts 107 degrees.
Let's take a look at what we've got outside.
Sunrise already happened.
That was about 20 minutes ago.
We have a beautiful view from San Miguel.
Pretty soon we'll be able to mae
out the Sweetwater reservoir,
but for now that marine layer is present.
Not quite patchy as of.
The 6:00 o'clock hour,
but it will become patchy in
the next couple hours,
especially off toward your westn
valleys before breaking apart en
along the coast closer to 10:11.
It'll take some time,
but we're doing all right so
far our view on satellite radar,
we've had some trouble
incorporating the entirety of i,
but you can see how we are seeig
those clouds extend from your c.
Here, Inland valleys,
50 degrees right now as you walt
the door in Ramona, Good mornin.
You might want a jacket with yo,
or at least a sweater.
52 in Alpine 57 right now in Po,
59 in Delmar.
When you compare these temperats
to 24 hours ago,
most spots are showing that
were a bit cooler.
But Ramona is 6 degrees warmer.
Alpine, El Cajon, La Mesa,
Chula Vista,
they're all just a hair cooler.
So than 24 hours ago still a
lot of people get into the coast
2 to 4 foot waves out there.
That water temperature is 64 degrees.
That's part of the reason why the coast
is staying cool because that sea breeze,
well it's a cool sea breeze andt
risk of rip currents remains moderate.
Let's take a look at your border
wait times as you head out
the door. So far things are looking pretty
good out there.
We yesterday we're seeing very,
very slow wait times, still quite slow.
In the San Ysidro port of entry
you're looking at about a 90
minute wait Otay Mesa an hour 1.
So yes, slow out there but.
Improved in some cases from yesterday.
And if you cross the border regularly,
you could win some money as wel.
That's if you answer a survey.
SANDAG and Caltrans are trying
to develop a better way to
measure border wait times.
They're doing a survey through July 31st.
Participants could win $50.
Several winners are supposed to be selected.
We have a link under the
help.button@cbs8.com if you wano
fill out that survey and win some money.
All right. Thank you so much, E.
Still ahead. Our planet continus
to shatter heat records.
Plus, while you are
at the beach this summer, rip
currents are always a possibili.
Our team is verifying the
best ways to keep you safe.
And Twitter has some competition
this morning how to sign up for
the newest social media app.
