RENO POLICE OFFICERS ARRIVED ON SCENE AND LOCATED THE SUSPECT WHERE HE FIRED UPON OFFICERS STRIKING A PATROL VEHICLE. AN OFFICER INVOLVED SHOOTING THEN OCCURRED. MULTIPLE OFFICERS FROM RENO POLICE DEPARTMENT DISCHARGED THEIR FIREARMS, STRIKING THE SUSPECT. THE SUSPECT WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY AND TRANSPORTED TO A LOCAL AREA HOSPITAL, WHERE HE REMAINS IN CRITICAL CONDITION. POLICE SAY THEY STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT LED UP TO THE SHOOTING. THEY SAY THEY HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE THE SUSPECT HAD ANY RELATION TO THE VICTIMS. POLICE HAVE NOT RELEASED THE IDENTITIES OF THE VICTIMS OR THE SUSPECTED GUNMAN. THE GRAND SIERRA RESORT SAYS NONE OF ITS EMPLOYEES WERE INJURED AND IT’S STILL OPEN AND OPERATING. AND THE GRAND SIERRA RESORT ALSO SHARED A STATEMENT ON THE SHOOTING READS IN PART, QUOTE, WE ARE HEARTBROKEN BY THE SENSELESS VIOLENCE THAT OCCURRED IN OUR PARKING AREA EARLIER TODAY. OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH THE VICTIMS AND ALL THOSE AFFECTED BY THIS TRAGIC INCIDENT. WE’RE INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL FOR THE SWIFT AND COURAGEOUS RESPONSE BY OUR ARMED SECURITY TEAM, WHOSE IMMEDIATE ACTIONS HELPED PREVENT FURTHER HARM. GOES ON TO SAY, WE ALSO WANT TO THANK THE RENO POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR THEIR RAPID ASSISTANCE AND COORDINATION, WHICH WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN QUICKLY ELIMINATING THE THREAT AND PROTECTING LIVES. OF COURSE, WE’LL KEEP YOU UP TO DATE BOTH ON AIR AND ONLINE. YOU CAN HEAD TO OUR WEBSITE, KCRA.COM TO READ MORE ON THE INVESTIGATION, AND ALSO DOWNLOAD THE KCRA 3 APP TO GET REAL TIME ALERTS SENT STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE. WE ARE ALSO LEARNING MORE DETAILS ABOUT A MASS SHOOTING IN NEW YORK CITY. A GUNMAN IS DEAD AFTER OPENING FIRE AND KILLING FOUR PEOPLE, INCLUDING A NEW YORK CITY OFFICER, AND SERIOUSLY INJURING ANOTHER. THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY EVENING AT A HIGH RISE BUILDING ON PARK AVENUE. POLICE SAY THE GUNMAN TURNED THE GUN ON HIMSELF AFTER OPENING FIRE IN THE BUILDING’S LOBBY. AND ON THE 33RD FLOOR. THAT BUILDING HOUSES THE OFFICES OF THE NFL. INVESTIGATORS SAY A NOTE WAS FOUND AT THE SCENE. POLICE SAY THE SHOOTER CITED THE NFL IN THE NOTE, VOICING ANGER THAT HIS MENTAL ILLNESS MAY HAVE BEEN LINKED TO HIS TIME PLAYING FOOTBALL. LAW ENFORCEMENT IDENTIFIED THE SHOOTER AS 27 YEAR OLD SHANE TAMURA, WHO LIVES IN LAS VEGAS. OFFICIALS SAY HE HAS A DOCUMENTED MENTAL HEALTH HISTORY, BUT NO SIGNIFICANT CRIMINAL RECORD. THE POLICE COMMISSIONER SAYS 36 YEAR OLD FALLEN OFFICER DANIEL ISLAM IS WAS WORKING SECURITY AT THE BUILDING. HE HAS TWO CHILDREN. HIS WIFE IS PREGNANT WITH THEIR THIRD. A MAN AND TWO WOMEN WERE ALSO SHOT AND KILLED. ANOTHER MAN WAS SHOT AND SERIOUSLY HURT. NFL COMMISSIONER ROGER GOODELL SAYS HE IS AN NFL EMPLOYEE. SACRAMENTO MAN IS OFFICIALLY FACING CHARGES AFTER BORDER PATROL AGENTS SAY HE SLASHED A TIRE OF A GOVERNMENT SUV. THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SAYS THE CRIME HAPPENED DURING A BORDER PATROL OPERATION AT A HOME DEPOT, JULY 17TH. THEY SAY JOSE CASTILLO REFUSED COMMANDS TO MOVE AWAY FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT. AT THE TIME, AGENTS WERE TRANSFERRING PEOPLE TO AN SUV FOR TRANSPORTATION TO IMMIGRATION CUSTODY. THE DOJ SAYS CASTILLO WAS SEEN WALKING TOWARD THE SUV FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. AGENTS SAY THEY HEARD A POP AND LOUD HISSING NOISE AND THEN FOUND A TIRE HAD BEEN PUNCTURED. YOU SEE THE SLASH MARKS THERE IN THIS PHOTO THAT WAS SUPPLIED FROM THE DOJ AGENTS ORDERED CASTILLO TO STOP. THE AGENCY SAYS CASTILLO TRIED TO RUN, AND WHEN AGENTS CAUGHT AND SEARCHED HIM, THEY SAY THEY FOUND A POCKET KNIFE WITH A BLADE CONSISTENT WITH THE WIDTH OF THE HOLE IN THE SUV’S TIRE. CASTILLO’S WIFE PROVIDED THIS VIDEO OF THE REST OF HIS ARREST ON THAT DAY. AND TAKE A LOOK HERE. THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE POCKET KNIFE. THE AGENTS SAY THEY FOUND ON CASTILLO. CASTILLO’S LAWYER SHARED A STATEMENT WITH US. IT READS, QUOTE, THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS USING ICE AS A WEAPON TO COMMIT AN ALL OUT ATTACK ON ANYONE WHO APPEARS TO BE OF MEXICAN DESCENT. IT’S MOTIVATED BY RACISM, AS CLEARLY EVIDENCED BY HOW THE PUBLICLY FOCUSED OR HOW THEY PUBLICLY FOCUS THEIR ATTACKS. FIRST TIME ALLEGED OFFENDER JOSE IS ALLEGED TO HAVE COMMITTED LOW LEVEL VANDALISM. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF CASES OF LOW LEVEL VANDALISM THAT OCCUR IN CALIFORNIA EVERY YEAR. NONE RESULT IN A FEDERAL CASE, WITH A FEDERAL PRESS RELEASE. END QUOTE. ALSO WORTHY OF NOTE, HE HAS BEEN RELEASED FROM CUSTODY, AND CASTILLO FACES UP TO ONE YEAR IN PRISON AND A $100,000 FINE IF CONVICTED. TURNING NOW TO A STORY YOU’LL ONLY SEE ON KCRA THREE. IN AMADOR COUNTY, GAS STATION LOST THOUSANDS IN A SUSPECTED DIESEL THEFT. THE STATION SAYS NEARLY 900 GALLONS OF DIESEL WERE PUMPED. BUT THE PERSON WHO PUMPED IT ONLY PAID A FRACTION OF WHAT IT’S ACTUALLY WORTH. NOW, THE OWNER OF THE FAMILY OWNED GAS STATION IN IONE CALLED US AFTER SEEING OUR COVERAGE OF A SIMILAR INCIDENT AT A GAS STATION IN SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY. THE SUSPECTED THEFT HAPPENED EARLY YESTERDAY MORNING ON BUENA VISTA ROAD IN JACKSON VALLEY ROAD. FRANCISCO MALLOY SAYS ABOUT $5,500 WORTH OF DIESEL WAS PUMPED, BUT THE PAYMENTS, MADE WITH PREPAID GIFT CARDS TOTALED ABOUT $90. THIS IS A COORDINATED EFFORT TO STEAL A GREAT AMOUNT OF VALUE FROM US. IT’LL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE WE RECOVER FROM THIS FINANCIALLY. UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE FROM WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT IS WE’RE GOING TO CLOSE THE PUMPS AFTER HOURS. THE AMADOR COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE SAYS IT IS REVIEWING THE EVIDENCE, BUT THERE ARE STILL NO SUSPECTS. A SACRAMENTO COUNTY WOMAN IS SHARING HER STORY IN HOPES OF PROTECTING OTHERS AFTER SHE WAS TARGETED BY SCAMMERS AND JUST ABOUT FELL FOR IT. THOSE SCAMMERS SPOOFED THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE PHONE NUMBER. SHE SAYS THE SCAMMER WAS IMPERSONATING SOMEONE FROM THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE, AND THEN THREATENED TO ARREST HER IF SHE DIDN’T PAY THEM IN CASH. SHE SAYS THE SCAMMER NEVER ALLOWED HER TO HANG UP, AND DURING THE WHOLE CONVERSATION, HER PHONE WAS ON SPEAKER. SHE WAS AT AN ATM WHEN, LUCKILY, A SERGEANT WITH A HIGH TECH CRIMES BUREAU OVERHEARD PART OF THE CONVERSATION AND LET HER KNOW SHE WAS BEING SCAMMED. SHE HUNG UP BEFORE LOSING ANY MONEY. GOOD FOR HER. AND THAT IS THE MESSAGE, RIGHT? WHEN IN DOUBT, JUST HANG UP. AND AGAIN, SCAMMERS ARE GETTING VERY, VERY GOOD AT IMPERSONATING WHETHER THEY’RE, YOU KNOW, THEIR NUMBER THAT POPS UP ON YOUR ID APPEARS TO BE LEGIT. YEAH. YOU KNOW, YOU JUST GOT TO BE VERY, VERY SMART ABOUT IT. ABSOLUTELY. 509 IS YOUR TIME. LET’S TALK WEATHER NOW AND HEAD OVER TO METEOROLOGIST KELLY KERN. AND RIGHT NOW WE ARE SEEING CLEAR SKIES AND MILD TEMPERATURES TO GET THINGS STARTED. THIS IS A LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE IN STOCKTON THIS MORNING WHERE CURRENT TEMPERATURE COMING IN AT 62 DEGREES. SACRAMENTO IS AT 63 MODESTO. STILL IN THE MID 60S AND LOW 40S FOR US IN SOUTH LAKE TAHOE. NOW IN THE SIERRA WE HAVE CLEAR SKIES FOR NOW, BUT WE DO EXPECT TO SEE MORE CLOUDS DEVELOPING IN THE AFTERNOON. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR A SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM AROUND LAKE TAHOE ITSELF. SOUTH LAKE TAHOE. THE HIGH TODAY ABOUT 75 DEGREES. A LITTLE BIT BETTER CHANCE TO SEE SOME OF THAT WET WEATHER IN AREAS FURTHER TO THE NORTH AND TO THE EAST OVER INTO THE NEVADA SIDE. POLLOCK PINES YOUR HIGH TODAY 85 MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. THAT’S A NICE DAY. MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES IN AUBURN, A HIGH OF 91 TODAY. ANGELS CAMP ALSO EXPECTING THAT HIGH TO TOP OUT AT 91. SO A LITTLE BIT WARMER THAN WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY, AT LEAST BY A COUPLE DEGREES. NOT AS MUCH OF A MARINE LAYER HERE ALONG THE COAST. WE’LL SEE MORE SUNSHINE IN THE AFTERNOON, TEMPERATURES TOPPING OUT IN THE UPPER 60S FOR SAN FRANCISCO, MID 80S FOR FAIRFIELD AND FOR CONCORD, NOW SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY GOING TO BE WARMER THAN WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY. IN FACT, STOCKTON TOPPING OUT AT 93 DEGREES YESTERDAY. TODAY’S FORECAST HIGH 96. SO DEFINITELY GETTING WARM MODESTO 95. MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE SUNSCREEN IF YOU’RE GOING TO BE OUTSIDE, AND MAKE SURE YOU’RE TAKING FREQUENT BREAKS. DRINKING PLENTY OF WATER, ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE WORKING OUTSIDE IN SACRAMENTO TODAY, TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO BE A COUPLE DEGREES WARMER YESTERDAY ENDED UP BEING 91. TODAY’S FORECAST HIGH 9394 FOR YOU IN WOODLAN TODAY. ELK GROVE ALSO EXPECTING THAT HIGH TO TOP OUT AT 94 DEGREES, BUT THESE TEMPERATURES ARE PRETTY CLOSE TO NORMAL. WE’RE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST AND MORE ON THOSE RAIN CHANCES FOR THE SIERRA COMING UP IN ABOUT TEN MINUTES. BUT FIRST, LET’S CHECK IN ON TRAFFIC AGAIN WITH BRIAN. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, KELLY. WE’LL START HERE ALONG OUR FREEWAYS IN SACRAMENTO WITH GREENBACK AND INTERSTATE 80. TOPPING THINGS OFF HERE. AND YOU CAN SEE TRAFFIC IS MODERATE THROUGH THE AREA, BUT NO DELAYS AS YOU MAKE YOUR WAY THROUGH THE SPLIT OVER THE TOP AND EVEN OUT ONTO THE CAUSEWAY. ALL CLEAR. 50 IS CLEAR AS YOU MAKE YOUR WAY IN FROM FOLSOM. THEY ARE WORKING ON A POWER POLE THAT WAS HIT BY A CAR EARLY THIS MORNING AT MARCONI AVENUE. THAT’S JUST BEFORE FULTON, AND SO WATCH OUT FOR THAT. THEY’LL HAVE THE WESTBOUND NUMBER TWO OR RIGHT LANE CLOSED IN THAT SPOT. TOW TRUCK ON SCENE, WORKING TO CLEAR A CAR FROM NORTHBOUND 113 AT KOVAL IN DAVIS. HERE’S A LOOK AT 99 AT MACK ROAD. A VEHICLE OVER ON THE RIGHT HAND SHOULDER THERE. NO FURTHER DELAYS FROM THAT INCIDENT, THOUGH, AS WE LOOK AT THE TAILLIGHTS HEADING NORTHBOUND ON 99. ALL CLEAR THERE AND FIVE CLEAR AS WELL. COMING IN FROM ELK GROVE THROUGH STOCKTON. NO PROBLEMS ON 599. HIGHWAY FOUR AND 12 CLEAR. 205 AND 580. SLIGHTLY SLOW AS YOU MAKE YOUR WAY OUT ACROSS THE TRIANGLE THERE. 23 MINUTE RIDE ON 2055 80. 28 MINUTES OVER THE ALTAMONT PASS. AND AGAIN HERE IN SACRAMENTO, ALL OF OUR FREEWAYS RUNNING AT THE SPEED LIMIT AS YOU MAKE YOUR WAY INTO SACRAMENTO. BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT, BRIAN, THANK YOU. 512 IS YOUR TIME RIGHT NOW. TENSION BETWEEN THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE FEDERAL RESERVE CONTINUES. I’M AMY LOU IN WASHINGTON TRACKING A BIG DECISION ON INTEREST RATES AMID PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S POLITICAL PRESSURE ON THE INDEPENDENT FEDERAL RESERVE.
