This is KGW news at sunrise
this hour on sunrise.
A second mass shooting in
California in the past three days.
This one killed 7 people.
We'll have the latest on the shooter
coming up in our top story. Also,
the FBI is joining Vancouver police
asking for your help to find a boy
who's been missing since June.
There his photographs.
We will have more details
about his disappearance coming
up. And this morning we're also getting a
peek inside the Goonies House in Astoria.
Sunrise reporter Devin Haskins
had a chance to walk through the
home with the homes new owner.
We have that story for you
coming up here at 5:15.
I feel he is officially
our Goonies correspondent.
He's done some deep dives are going to that.
Yeah he he's our goonie
and I feel like so was he.
What are becoming the official
Goonie station for good or bad has
been quite the quite the coverage
on that House has it has been
alright. Here's a look at our temperatures.
This morning this would be another quiet day.
We have light winds. We have fog mainly
near and South of Salem at this hour.
There are fog advisory South of Portland
posted up until 11:00 o'clock this morning
Portland's above freezing 39 and downtown
it is closer to 32 on Hillsboro 34 now
we're getting into more foggy conditions.
30 in Salem, 31 down in Corvallis.
Again light winds and generally
moving forward this afternoon,
partly sunny skies expected and
the best chance for fog to linger,
linger and linger.
Would be the farther S that you find yourself
in the Willamette Valley this morning.
Portland's A 40,
currently 45 at noon.
I have a skating up to a 47 degrees.
Yesterday it was 49
and that's your forecast.
Alright, we'll have more from
Rod here coming up shortly,
but right now we do want to get
to our top story this morning,
another deadly mass shooting in California,
this time in the community of
Half Moon Bay which is about
half hour South of San Francisco.
In all, seven people died.
Police say the gunman killed
4 folks at a mushroom farm.
And then. Another three at a
trucking farm or firm nearby.
Local officials say the victims were
farm workers of Chinese descent.
Investigators have identified the
shooter as 16 seven-year old chunlei Zao.
Police tracked him down
outside a Sheriff's Office.
At this point,
investigators have not said
anything about a motive,
but they believe he acted alone.
This morning we also have new
video that shows how a man stopped
the Monterey Park, CA shooter.
From opening fire at a dancehall,
a second dancehall on Saturday,
just a few miles away from the
initial shooting that night.
So you can see the shooter
here in this video.
He's wearing the hat.
And then we also see 26 year old
Brandon say he's wrestling the gun
away from the shooter at this point.
Again, this was just minutes after
that suspect killed 11 people and
wounded at least nine more at a lunar
New Year celebration in Monterey Park.
Still no clear motive this morning,
but officials do believe
that the attack was personal.
And that the gunman may have
been targeting his ex-wife.
The connection to the Monterey Park
shooting is hitting close to home.
A Vietnamese American lawmaker
here in Oregon knows people
in that community. And I hope
this shooting does not.
Be representative of
what the new norm can be.
It is very sad for the
communities in California,
Southern California, as well
As for the Asian community. We
all have families and
friends throughout the state.
One of representative trans friends
says that she was a member of the
ballroom where the shooting happened,
and so was the gunman.
She says he'd been part of that
community and dancing at the
studio for more than 20 years.
Get down. Put your head down,
Bob. Put your head down.
That is the sound of a shootout
between an armed robbery
suspect and police in Salem.
It happened yesterday morning.
You heard the the shots there.
They rang out for at least 15 seconds.
A driver who was driving by the
scene at the time sent that
video to us here at KGW,
and reporter Mike Benner went to
Salem to talk to witnesses who
watched the whole thing unfold.
Late Monday morning at the corner
of Kubler and Commercial in Salem,
investigators fly a drone in hopes
of getting a better look at the
scene of a deadly police shooting.
Seen anything like this before?
This man's in shock by what
started as an armed robbery in the
Walmart parking lot, we're told.
As officers with the Salem
Police Department responded,
the suspect ran to the nearby Planet Fitness,
then across the street to Napa Auto Parts.
It's here where officers exchanged
gunfire with the suspect
turned around. That I shot a couple
of times and then the cops shot back,
which they should have,
and they hit him a couple times.
He fell to the ground.
He got back up.
He didn't get totally back up.
He just leaned up back up
and started shooting again.
Then the cops started shooting him
about 6 or 8 times and really hit him.
You can hear the gunfire in this video.
Witnesses, including this woman,
who wanted to remain anonymous,
recall hearing dozens of gunshots.
That's pretty scary.
We locked up shop and just head to
the back behind the concrete wall
and make sure everybody nobody
got a stray bullet or anything.
Fortunately, there were no
injuries to bystanders or police,
but we're told the suspect was
killed in the shooting. Troubling.
If you ask the man who owns the
property where it happened.
It's a shame to you know that.
You know, you don't know if he's
on drugs or mental problems.
And that's sure to be part of
the investigation that had a
stretch of commercial St.
in Salem shut down for
much of the day Monday.
I don't see somebody die like that.
But he, the cops, they did a good job.
They they had to do what they had to do.
That's all I'm telling you.
I'm Mike Benner for KGW news.
Other headlines this morning, Vancouver
police issued an alert for
a missing 8 year old boy.
His name is Brett Saint John.
The FBI says he's been missing
since at least June of last year.
At that time, members of the Community
asked Vancouver police to conduct
a welfare check at the boy's home,
but officers couldn't find him.
They say britson's grandparents were his
last known guardians and have recently
been charged with custodial interference.
In the meantime,
authorities say they haven't been
able to contact any of the boys.
Other relatives, take a look at his picture.
It's there on your screen.
If you recognize the child,
contact Vancouver police.
A fourth dead whale has washed
up on the Oregon coast,
this time near Cannon Beach.
It's a Gray whale,
and experts believe it's been
dead for at least a month.
The seaside Aquarium says strong
westerly winds have pushed all kinds
of floating debris toward shore,
including the whales.
They don't believe any of the
four deaths are connected,
and Oregon has launched a new
hotline to give people free legal
advice about reproductive rights.
The State Department of Justice
is behind the effort,
and local law firms will staff the phones.
Oregon's Attorney general says
the hotline is necessary after
the US Supreme Court overturned
Roe versus Wade last year,
creating fear and confusion even in a
state where abortion rights are protected.
And those are some of your Tuesday morning.
Headlines.
Alright, before we get to the
weather forecast and rod,
we're checking in with sunrise
photographer Eric Patterson.
He's behind the camera there
at a spot just down the street.
But you don't have to go far for
goodness on this Tuesday morning.
So that is the headquarters
of Blue Star Donuts.
The bakers hard at work on this
Tuesday morning and they're putting
together a part of their tropical
flavored doughnut collection.
Tropical. I like that. In January.
Tropical in January for a purpose.
Brand of using. No, no, no.
What, they're in January.
They're trying to do here, rod.
They're trying to get us
through the winter months,
they say with their tropical Donuts,
OK, that's how it works.
This particular one, I'm told,
is one that involves banana,
pineapple glaze, coconut shavings.
Yeah, I'll try that.
Yeah,
I will too.
It's like
a donut Pina colada
again. Blue Star Donuts right down the
street from us here on southwest Jefferson.
We'll check back in with Eric Patterson
from the donut shop coming up here shortly.
So I was down there yesterday.
I go down there to get a capture
their cappuccino machine, actually,
I think I find to be very good.
And they had a donut.
I didn't try it because you know me.
I watch my figure.
Yeah, but it had
coconut on top of it.
I looked really good.
I wonder if that's what you
just mentioned. See, I'm a coconut guy.
I do like the. Do you like coconut Brandy?
Do. The icing is the best part to me.
One coconut donut for me,
one for Brenda,
and one for Rod, please.
Cup of icing, please.
That's all I need. OK.
Couple headlines to
cover a couple new players.
Air Stagnation advisory issued
through Thursday. Technically,
it's up until 10:00 o'clock Thursday morning.
This is all inland areas away from the coast.
Right here on the West side of our state,
up and down I5 we have high pressure
aloft we have a surface side that's
going to continue to give us light winds
at one point look like winds will start
picking up a little bit tomorrow and
Thursday that no longer looks to be the case.
So sometimes you get deteriorating
air quality numbers.
We have a mix of some semi
bad spots this morning.
Green is good,
yellow is moderate and there's an
unhealthy spot for sensitive groups.
That's kind of in central Marion
County it looks like.
So perhaps if you tend to
struggle with these types of air
quality conditions you'll notice.
That over the next couple of days.
Right now we're seeing a developing
fog patch where you see the white
shading up around Scappoose.
Visibility just starting to go down.
Most of the fog has been holding
the widespread bad stuff.
South of Salem there is an advisory that
extends upwards to about Oregon City
through 11:00 o'clock this morning,
good visibility.
In downtown Portland we're at
40 with cloudy skies again,
light winds as stories freezing,
salem's freezing.
It's been fairly warm,
although the winds are light
out in the gorge.
I mean it's 40 Portland, you run out.
84 to the thousands 42 and
then you get the cold stuff.
Zero on burns 8IN Baker City.
It's 15 degrees this morning out in John Day.
Just want to point out if you are traveling,
everybody's dry today.
Futurecast shows some cloudiness
between Portland and Seattle this
morning and then it does bring some
cloudiness down from our N later
today into this evening for kind
of a mixed bag of clouds and sun,
depending on where you are.
The big story,
what forecasters are spending all
their time looking at is the track
of this cold Canadian and eventually
an Arctic air mass that's looming
to drop southward.
Into next week,
across the good portion of the country,
we have very little change.
Through Thursday, Friday,
we've added a chance of some rain.
The main front comes in Saturday.
Here's Saturday at 5:00 PM.
See the purple colors?
That's the cold air. This is rain showers.
But then you wake up Sunday
into Monday and into Tuesday.
Now we're in this cold air mass.
We're getting a breezy E wind,
and anything that falls in the
air would be snowflakes.
We're not looking at any organized
storms at this point. 47 today.
Jump your eyes to Saturday showers.
46 sun and snow showers or flurries
and only 39 Sunday snow showers.
Only 36 on Monday with lows
getting back down to the mid 20s.
We call that cold, by the way.
Burr. Yeah. Thank you, Brenda. Thank you.
This is, but this is the window. You know,
the telescope was here and everything.
So this is the one where he's kind of,
like, fantasizing about how am I going
to pay off my mom and dad's mortgage
so we don't lose the good dogs?
This morning, the owner of the New Goonies
House in Astoria gives us a look inside,
but not everybody's happy about
their new neighbor. We'll have
more on that drama after the break.
