We begin with breaking news. Here at 6,
police are searching for a gunman.
At least one gunman after one person
was shot in the gas lamp quarter.
Glad you're with us at 6:00 AM.
I'm Eric Connors.
And I'm Dana Marie mcnicholl.
The shooting happened in
the 300 block of 7th Ave.
just before 4:30 this morning,
so take a look at the screen.
This is the map.
It's very close to Petco Park, CBS.
It's Chris grow is live at the
scene with an update. Chris.
Yeah. And I'm sorry to say we
we actually haven't been given
a whole lot of information from
the San Diego Police Department.
They are being very tight lipped
with this one right now because
it does appear that they're
still searching for the shooter.
And I want to point out the parking
garage that's right over here on 6th
and L and we also know of course that
this is also on the other side of this
on 7th and Tony Gwynn drive as well too.
They've got their focus on that.
We've seen SWAT officers gearing up,
getting ready to go inside a number of
patrol officers with their AR fifteens.
Out again, seemingly at the ready.
So it does appear that they believe
the shooter could still potentially
be in this area of the gas lamp.
So we do want to let people know who
work inside this area to be safe and
to also just be aware that there are
several sections of this this block that
have been shut down with police tape.
So again, be mindful of that when you're
both walking and driving in this area,
because it's not just one section there,
there are several portions of.
Even 5th Ave.
We saw there was portions that were
when they were closed off as well too,
probably searching that area as well too.
So what we know is that one
man has been shot.
We don't know what their condition is.
We don't even know if that shooting
took place either on the street or
maybe even within the parking garage,
where we're still unsure at this time
about where specifically the shooting
took place and if there was more than
one shooter or if there was one shooter
with multiple cohorts, so to speak,
with multiple people with them.
So again.
We have very preliminary
information right now.
We are still waiting on an update
from the San Diego Police Department.
When we get that,
we'll be sure to let you know.
But again,
one person has been shot here in the
Gaslamp District and there are a number of
police officers in and around this area,
including the SWAT team,
which does appear to be getting
ready to make an entrance there
into that parking garage.
Eric and Dana Marie.
Christine on top of that,
breaking news for us.
Thank you and we will check
back in with you shortly.
New this morning, one person is hurt
after a shooting at this Indiana Walmart.
The shooter was killed by police.
It happened last night in Evansville.
Police say the suspect fired at
them and officers fired back,
killing the suspect.
We still don't know the condition
of the person who was hurt.
Right now the motive for the
shooting is still unclear.
The preliminary hearing for
Larry Millette continues today.
We're getting more insight into
the months leading up to his wife,
Maya Millia Day's disappearance.
Maya's coworker, Christine Timmers,
took the stand yesterday.
She testified that for
several months in 2020,
Maya went back and forth on whether
she should leave her husband.
Then, in mid-december,
less than a month before she disappeared,
Timmer said Maya opened up about
her fears of getting divorced.
I asked her. OK,
So what is it?
And. Through tears, she said.
I'm afraid that Larry Ray will hurt the kids
to hurt me.
Timmers also said Maya told her Larry had
taken control of the couple's finances.
The prosecution has about 5 witnesses left
so hearing could wrap up as early as Monday.
Today a man accused of killing 18
year old Mira Mesa is expected to
make his first court appearance.
21 year old Nicholas Forehand,
an unnamed 17 year old were
arrested earlier this week.
Police believe they shot and killed 18
year old Brian Mendoza Camacho in front of
his home in October that was on Deering.
Street near Westmore Road and Camino Ruiz.
Investigators have not released
information on the potential connection
between the suspects and the victim.
Well, that gunman in a deadly
shooting spree in the Gaslamp
Quarter will likely be spending
the rest of his life behind bars.
34 year old Travis Shresta was
sentenced to four life terms.
Prosecutors say he wandered downtown
in April of 2021 and started shooting
random victims with a ghost gun.
He ended up killing 28 year old
Justice Bolden and hurting four others.
Bolden's mother and sister
were inside the courtroom.
Before the sentencing and
listen to what they had to say.
You took away one of the true loves
of my life. For no good reason.
You hurt me.
You hurt everybody that's sitting here.
And you've ruined your own life.
I hope you're happy.
The man who decided that
his life wasn't worth it.
We'll never understand what it's like
to love the way that we love justice.
If you did, you wouldn't do this.
Wow, some powerful statements, right?
So arrested was sentenced to a state prison.
Now today, a Korean War veteran
from Escondido will receive the
Navy's highest award for valor.
97 year old Eve Royce Williams
survived what was perhaps the
longest aerial dogfight between
alone American fighter pilot and
enemy combat long local Congressman
Darrell ISIS said of Williams.
Quote the heroism and valor he
demonstrated for 35 harrowing minutes
70 years ago when the strike over the
North Pacific and the coast of North
Korea saved lives of his fellow.
Pilots, shipmates and crew.
His story is one for the ages
but is now being fully told.
Williams will be awarded the Navy Cross
this afternoon during a ceremony at
the San Diego Air and Space Museum.
Honestly an award that he should
have gotten along time ago.
Finally getting it though and very deserving.
Well what a hero.
Alright king tides, they are back
along our coast here this morning,
peaking tomorrow and on Sunday look at
the video the King Tides event last month
so this is what we're expecting again.
The high tides will be nearly seven feet.
Today through Monday,
it's all of course due to the astronomical
pull from the new Moon that's
happening between 7:00 and 10:00 AM.
There could be some minor coastal
flooding at low lying beaches.
Extreme low tides could be
2 feet below sea level.
There are several King Tide events
happening across the county this weekend
and we have a link to allthemcbs8.com.
Just click on the help button.
Meanwhile, you can explore tide pools.
During the low tides you can see things
like hermit crabs and sea sea creatures,
the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
Some advice for tide pooling.
They say step carefully, look closely,
don't pick up or move any of the animals.
Leave everything as you found it.
Only take pictures,
meaning don't take any shells
or rocks with you.
And of course do not leave any trash.
Gotta respect the little creatures areas,
they're little spaces that they have there.
Pack it in, pack it out. Yes, that's it.
I love playing hide and go seek
with the crabs in the title.
You can see them and you go up and
then they run it in the little crack.
It's amazing, especially for
the kids who haven't, you know.
Able to explore it.
I mean king tides don't come all the time.
So these are kind of those occasions
once in a while when the new Moon comes
about where you can get out and explore.
I love Cabrillo for low tide where you get
to go out and explore those tide pools.
It is amazing.
There's so when you're here in San Diego,
you're never bored.
You can head to the coastline and enjoy
those king tides both during high tide.
Be safe out there.
We know it's going to be 7
feet nearly above sea level.
However,
low tide as Eric mentioned about 2 feet
below and that's going to come closer to 321.
PM but when high tide comes around,
it's gonna be at 7:15 today,
803 for tomorrow.
And that beach hazard statement,
meaning because of those high tides
is in effect for today, your Friday,
tomorrow, Sunday and Monday.
It expires on Monday morning.
So that's when we'll start to see those king
tides pull back and head back to normal.
Minor coastal flooding is possible.
The beaches singled out by
the National Weather Service,
Cardiff Oceanside,
La Jolla Shores and imperial beaches.
The showers that we had last night.
Are tapered off and we're now
moving toward a dry weekend.
And not only a dry weekend,
but a dry week next week.
This is going to be the first
time that we've had about an 8
day stretch at least of dry skies
outside because there is currently
no major disturbance in the forecast
that promotes the idea that we'll
get more rain on the way.
We right now have a lot of
sunshine moving forward.
Now.
Of course it's still dark outside,
we're just starting to get
a little bit of a glimpse.
I'm looking out at Mount
Soledad behind me here.
A little glimpse of sunlight
from the mountaintops.
We are still though.
About 1/2 hour away from that sunrise,
when you look at your
temperatures outside right now,
the clouds from yesterday's
showers have helped to hold
on to a little bit of warmth.
So in turn,
we're mostly in the 40s out there
as opposed to the many 30s inland
that we ran into yesterday morning.
But it's still cold.
The jacket is going to come in handy
across the county when we compare our
current temperatures to 24 hours ago.
We're slightly warmer,
about single digit changes
compared to yesterday,
but still 9 degrees warmer right now
in Ramona compared to 24 hours ago,
8 degrees warmer in Alpine.
The reason why I hesitate to show
you this and give you the idea that
we're all that much warmer is because
those cold temperatures come about
tonight into early tomorrow and for
pretty much every morning to come,
we're still going to hold on to those
cold overnight lows in the mid 30s.
Overnight afternoon highs though low 60s,
partly cloudy skies.
Temperatures are pretty comfortable out there
by the time the afternoon does come around,
but we're still trending cooler than average,
so 63 and 61, they're welcome sights.
Sunshine is of course as well.
However, average for this time of
year would still be mid and upper 60s.
We're going to get back toward average by
the middle and later portion of next week.
It just takes a little bit
of time for us to get there.
So when we look at traffic this morning,
we'll take you to a couple
of spots on the map.
5 southbound from the 54 to the border.
It's an 8 minute commute,
65 mph out there,
not running into much difficulty
as we kick off your Friday morning.
If you want to download our CBS 8 app,
you can use that to plan out
your morning commute.
Now something back to you too.
