Deadly new drug hits San Francisco's streets | West Coast Wrap

Developing news in Southern California tonight. Crews are battling a brush fire in Los Angeles County that's burned at least three homes and has triggered evacuation orders. Good evening everyone. Welcome to West Coast wrap. I'm Alex Savage. What's being called the palace fire broke out this afternoon in the city of La Habra Heights. Dramatic video shows those flames destroying at least one hillside home here. Two other homes have burned and several others are threatened. 20 acres have burned so far and the LA County Fire Department is describing a moderate rate of spread here. Evacuation orders and warnings are in effect for several neighborhoods and an emergency shelter has been set up at a nearby high school. One person has been hurt and authorities say a horse was also injured. The cause of the fire is under investigation. We go now to San Francisco where public health officials today issued a stark warning about a new drug that's hitting the streets that they say is even more dangerous than fentanyl. As KTVU Christian captain reports tonight, this warning follows the tragic overdose death of a teenager. After years of grappling with the fentanyl crisis, San Francisco is now working to address a new drug entering the market, cyclorphine. More powerful than fentanyl, investigators have said it has already killed a 16 year old boy in April. This tragic case set off a sweeping investigation to get these pills off of our streets and to arrest anyone who profits from them. Following that teen's death, San Francisco police launched a six month investigation that netted four suspects last week. On September 8th, we arrested 46 year old Nicholas Wallace and 44 year old Sharani Heisen. The following day on September 9th, we arrested 46 year old Leander Pitts and 39 year old star Lamar searches turned up weapons, more than 20,000 pills containing counterfeit Xanax, oxycodone and deadly narcotics, including fentanyl. Those suspects have now been charged in court and the district attorney is vowing an aggressive prosecution. So many times we have been demonized. We have had critics say that we shouldn't be in the business of holding those who sell these drugs accountable. But this is further proof that this work must continue. County health officials warned that new drug cyclorphine is extremely dangerous and may be delivered by a virtual trojan horse when the drug is made to look like a trusted pharmaceutical then passed from friend to friend. They could be reassured uh that it is safe or it is the substance that it has been made to look like. But these are not coming out of um a pharmacy. They have not been quality controls. They have more than likely not been tested. As we said, this whole investigation came about after the tragic overdose of that teenager. Police said that led to the four people arrested last week. They are still investigating that death, including looking at the possibility of charging those suspects if they can prove a connection to that teen's death in San Francisco. Christian Kafton KTVU Fox two news. And tonight we are learning the investigation into the death of actress Hayden Panettiere now is expanding to southern California. Multiple sources say the DEA agents in Los Angeles are now looking into long time drug dealers accused of selling Panettiere prescription medications on the black market, including oxycodone. Investigators are examining whether a pill that she took was laced with a lethal dose of fentanyl. Did this person sell Hayden the drugs that caused her death? And even if it turns out that those drugs didn't cause her death, they certainly know that she was getting black market pills from this person. Uh, and that may be something they're going to choose to prosecute anyway, even if they didn't turn out to cause Hayden's death. Investigators right now are still waiting for those final toxicology results to determine Panettiere is cause of death. All right, we turned now to another big story. A. I. Leaders across the country calling for a slowdown in the development of the technology, and that includes Dario Amadei, the co founder and CEO at San Francisco based Anthropic, who posted an essay about the technology on his personal website over this past weekend. And, of course, regulating A. I. Is becoming a growing issue in Washington, D. C. President Trump weighed in today, calling the concerns over A. I. Safety a quote hoax. Fox's Rebecca Castor has more now from Capitol Hill, where lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are pushing for more regulations. After a stunning warning from a former Anthropic employee last week that A. I. Could kill us all by the end of the decade, industry leaders agree slowing down its development is necessary to reduce risks when we're trying to figure out how to put guardrails on these systems, and they're vastly smarter than we are. It gets a little bit tricky. In recent months, A. I. Models have created fake identities to try to pressure humans into approving malicious code autonomously hacked into other sites and tried to evade shutdown. But President Trump says A. I. Taking over the world, destroying humanity and all other things bad is a hoax, and he doesn't want to lose the A. I. Race to China. You have so many frontier A. I. Tech companies kind of coming to the government and begging the government to regulate them. It feels a little bit to me like a bit of a Trojan horse. I don't think Americans should be scared of anything on Capitol Hill. There is bipartisan concern about A. I. S. Rapid development, and some lawmakers think it's time Congress steps in. The only system we have in place right now is the honor system, right? The most powerful technology in human history is being regulated by the developers themselves. Congress, I think, has a role responsibility, but the people who are providing and creating these products obviously have responsibility as well. There are proposals from both parties on how to regulate A. I. But Republican leaders have shown no urgency in prioritizing the matter, and any action before the midterms is unlikely on Capitol Hill. Rebecca Castor Fox News. And we're also hearing from former President Obama, who's weighed in on the concerns about A. I. Safety, saying Democrats should be using the issue to campaign on. The New York Times reports the former president was in a closed door fundraising event in New York last week, where he said Democrats need to prioritize a quote public conversation about A. I. Management and safety and talk about the Democrats plans for A. I. Guardrails. Well, pushback against A. I. Data centers is growing nationwide, and now one lawmaker in the Bay Area is taking action. For more on that, we're joined here in the studio by KTVU Heather Holmes. Yeah, we have seen a lot of jurisdictions take some action. Now that conversation is coming to San Francisco. A San Francisco supervisor is proposing a moratorium on new A. I. Data centers in the city. Supervisor Shimon Walton, with support from other elected officials, said that he will introduce that measure tomorrow. Now, if approved, it would stop the city from approving new data centers for 45 days. Walton says that so far, most of the approved data centers are in the Bay View. That's a neighborhood that he represents, and one that he says is already dealing with more than its share of air pollution and other environmental concerns. This is this is real simple. We should not be putting profit over people. We should not irresponsible, irresponsibly support technology without having the facts and information that tell us where our communities be protected. We've gotten so many emails, phone calls everywhere I go in community. People have concerns and questions about data centers, and they really talk about the fact that they don't want them in their community. Now, this proposed 45 day pause would give the city's planning department in San Francisco some time to really study the impacts of data centers, including on water and energy use and to develop new permanent policies. Now, really, all across the country, plans to build A. I. Data centers have been a hot topic among communities. Some of the biggest concerns strained power grids, heavy water usage and also loud construction equipment. So about 80 miles south of Salt Lake City, officials in Juab County just okayed a new $10 billion data center campus. This project spans about 361 acres just outside the rural town of Mona. According to reports, dozens of residents packed a town hall meeting just last week to oppose this center, saying the community was left in the dark and that permits were approved without any public input. Here's the other part, though, according to the Salt Lake Tribune, County Commissioner Clinton Painter says the county did follow state law in notifying the public and processing that conditional use permit again standing by that decision. But there was a recent Gallup poll, Alex, that shows about seven and 10 Americans. So majority of Americans really opposed data centers and that opposition tied to environmental concerns and also quality of life issues. Yeah, we're seeing it across the country, across the West. This sort of bipartisan opposition, something that we don't see a whole lot. And it does feel as though it could become one of those central issues as we head toward the midterm elections. Certainly will be a President Obama gets his way to just mentioned. All right, Heather, thank you. Appreciate it. In the Bay Area plans for a new immigration detention facility near Gilroy are now on hold tonight. A federal judge has granted a preliminary injunction blocking the federal government from moving forward with construction. The ruling comes in a lawsuit filed by California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Santa Clara County, which argues the federal government failed to conduct required environmental reviews. The order keeps construction at a standstill while this legal battle continues to move forward. California Governor Gavin Newsom making some news tonight ahead of his expected run for the White House in 2028. During an interview with CNN, Newsom said that he will bow out of the race if former Vice President Kamala Harris decides to run again. If she runs, you will not. Of course not. Why would I? I wouldn't do that to her. I wouldn't do it to me. Why would I wouldn't do that to you? I wouldn't waste everyone's time. Who needs that? I know her base of supporters. I know her friends. The Zen diagram on that is just pure crossover. It's not. I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't do that to people. Newsom told CNN's Jake Tapper while fly fishing that he wouldn't stand in his fellow Californians way. Harris, who lost her bid for the White House to President Trump, hasn't said if she will make another run for office. Well, we're learning more about a trespasser who was reported at the Malibu home of former Vice President Harris. The L. A. County Sheriff's Department says deputies responded Friday night around 10 30 after Harris's private security team called about a suspicious person. Deputies spoke with that person who then left voluntarily. Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, were not home at the time. The sheriff's department says a trespassing report was filed and patrols in that area will be stepped up as a precaution. Well, the ongoing trade dispute between the U. S. And Canada is having a serious impact on California winemakers. In August, the Trump administration imposed that 50% tariff on Canadian goods. Canada then announced retaliatory tariffs on billions of dollars worth of American goods, including wine. The trade industry group, the Wine Institute, says between March of 2025 and March of 2026, California wine exports to Canada dropped by 90%. We're in this incredible period of transition right now and reset as people try and figure out how they're gonna be successful moving forward. One winery says 15% of their exports were to Canada, but that number has taken a hit after the U. S. Canada's trade fight last year. They are now looking to other markets like Asia and Africa. Much more to come here on West Coast wrap tonight. A dramatic rescue of an injured hiker in Oregon is still ahead. Why ground crews have to call in for aerial support and your weather updates coming up. Here's a live camera looking out toward the Golden Gate Bridge on a Monday evening. We will update the West Coast wrap forecast after the break. A federal judge in San Francisco has ruled the Trump administration acted unlawfully in its plans to cut FEMA's workforce in half. The plan called for reducing staffing by more than 11,000 employees, including thousands of temporary disaster response workers. In a ruling that was released Friday, the judge called the plan quote arbitrary. The administration never carried out the full cut, but FEMA's workforce has already shrunk significantly. Both sides have until October 9th to try to agree on what relief should be provided. Otherwise, the court will decide. In Oregon, the U. S. Coast Guard was called in to rescue an injured hiker. The Coast Guard helicopter air crew was mobilized from the air station North Bend. The hiker was injured while climbing in the lava field at Three Sisters Wilderness in Oregon. Ground crews provided initial aid, but loose rocks and the steep terrain in this area made a ground rescue just too dangerous to try to pull off. So the helicopter crew hoisted that hiker to safety. They were then taken to the hospital to be treated. Quite the rescue there. All right, let's talk more about our weather here all across the West. So we have pretty nice conditions here as we begin to wrap up summer. Yeah, that's right, Alex. In fact, we're not talking about any major heat out there. Typical spots right around 100 degrees out toward Phoenix. But in terms of last week, a completely different story. Yeah, big turn a big cool off. Yeah, as far as Yeah, as far as the heat and the tropics. So it's been so active in the Pacific as you can't see right now. Currently in the Pacific, we're tracking a tropical storm Norbert and then also tropical depression 15 E. Both are not forecasted to be major deals, but of course things could change and we'll keep an eye on the development. Quick update on the fire. Alex was talking about Southern California. The current weather conditions out there around the fire zone. Not incredibly hot, 75 degrees winds gusting to right around nine or 10 miles an hour and relative humidity. Thankfully, those moisture levels are coming up relative humidity right around 73%. But remember last week it was so hot in Southern California, everything is kind of pretreated and ready to burn with all that heat. All that recent heat from just a few days ago with that to set up for today. But no red flag of fire warnings. Here's a look at the satellite and the radar where you can see this and looks like a fairly quiet over a good portion of California. Well, coming closer to the Arizona area toward Phoenix and rain showers actually moving into the southeastern part of the state. There's the chance for tonight and into it tomorrow. They could have some scattered showers and some thunderstorms and their forecast. Definitely a cooler weather pattern up here. The cloud cover moving into the Seattle area. Lots of clouds and there's a chance of a shower first thing tomorrow morning in Seattle. This was a scene today showing on the clouds 67 degrees. So we're not talking about any major heat in Seattle for San Francisco warming up into the lower seventies, 71 degrees this afternoon and then down in Southern California as you can see Los Angeles 84 degrees. So warm day, just not as hot as last week. And then in Phoenix, we're showing you some of those clouds building up, showing you some instability out there in the in the skies here. Still 105 degrees in the phoenix earlier today. Here's the plan for tomorrow. Still a chance of some showers in the Seattle region for tomorrow in the morning hours. Primarily sunshine for the Bay Area, some morning fall for Los Angeles and for both phoenix and out toward Denver. We could be tracking some showers and maybe some thunderstorms in their forecast. In fact, here is the updated model. This is seven o'clock. It does pick up on that shower chance up here up toward parts of the pacific northwest and then into the afternoon hours. You can see the clouds streaming into portions of Arizona, Utah out toward New Mexico and colorado. So the instability, that's the area of focus for tomorrow. Here's the forecast over the next three days as you can pick out for Seattle. They have that shower chance for the morning hours primarily and it looks like a temperatures begin to warm up a bit by Wednesday and thursday for the San Francisco Bay Area. Remember we were talking about all sorts of heat last week, not the case this week. Temperatures mainly in the mid to upper sixties for San Francisco, Southern California, right around 80 degrees cooling off. In fact, that's kind of the theme over the next few days for a good portion of the west coast phoenix close to 100 degrees tomorrow. They're still gonna hold on to that shower chance and thunderstorm chance into a Tuesday and into Wednesday and also a bit unsettled out toward Denver. So like last week, Alex, when we're talking about all the extreme heat warnings and heat advisories blanketing a good portion of the west, not showing up in the forecast this week. Yeah, major turnaround here compared to what we had just a week ago. Okay, mark. Thank you. All right. Colorado's Aspen snow mass ski company is celebrating its 80th anniversary like it's 1946. The resort is selling a limited number of tickets for just $3.75 for the anniversary of their grand opening back on grand opening. It's coming up on December 14th. That is how much it costs for a day of skiing 80 years ago. They are also offering $80 tickets for December 12th and 13th. We're still here in summer, but already thinking about skiing here coming up in those winter months. Much more to come here on West Coast wrap tonight. First responders showing up at an unusual call today in Arizona, where nearly a dozen people were attacked by a swarm of bees will explain how they're doing after the break. More than a dozen Oregon National Guard members were involved in a four car crash that left one person dead. This happened Saturday night along Highway 30 near the community of Svensson. One man was killed here and 16 others injured. It's unclear exactly how many guards members were hurt. The troops were traveling back from a training drill and being driven by a 21 year old guards member who authorities say was seriously injured in that crash. In Southern California, a misunderstanding led to a frightening situation for one city bus driver. The Long Beach Transit bus was pulled over by the CHP early this morning in East L. A. After it was mistakenly reported stolen while it was being taken off site for maintenance. The confused driver was ordered to get out of the car and lay face down on the ground. No one else was on board that bus at the time. Long Beach Transit has apologized for what happened this morning in Arizona. Nearly a dozen people were treated today after a bee attack. And this all unfolded at an intel manufacturing campus in Chandler southeast of Phoenix. Fire officials say three people were taken to the hospital, all of them said to be in stable condition. Seven others were treated at the scene after being stung. Firefighters have not said what caused the bees to start stinging or exactly where those bees were encountered at that facility. Well, a motorcycle group in Utah held a very special ride over this past weekend. They gathered to honor and help raise awareness in the fight against cancer boxes. Carolina Hassett has more tonight from West Jordan, Utah. Dozens of motorcycle riders put on their helmets for a good cause on sunday participating in a ride for cancer awareness. Well, I spoke to some families who have faced that scary reality and they tell me rides like these remind them they're not alone. Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. Ink against cancer held its third annual riding with the wolf pack ride and every person put on a helmet with a purpose. Our son was diagnosed with colon cancer about five years ago. Unfortunately, we lost him on july 14th 2024 as participants started gearing up for the ride. Ed and Kathy Riley had a lot on their mind watching from afar. My son's name was Sean Riley. Wonderful kid. He, he was everything to us. We carry him with us at all times. Their son was just 36 years old when he died. Very difficult. There was no navigating it. There was just simply going with the flow and hoping not to crash just a couple groups over. Terry Bluth was remembering his own journey. I was shaving for work and I had a big lump in my throat. I ran to the doctor and found out I had cancer. Doctors were able to catch it early and Bluth has been in remission for about six weeks. There's this moment where you're asking yourself, am I going to die in like a month? We have two options. We could get angry about it or we can accept it and make make every second and every moment that we have priceless. But these journeys are scary to face alone and these rides remind people of the army behind them. You learn real quickly who is around you that will support you and take care of you. And those people are little angels and they swoop in. Even though he's no longer with us, we want to continue to give back and be part of this community because every time we're around it, it just feels good. Yeah. In West Jordan, Carolina Hassett Fox 13 News Utah. In Washington, the state superintendent says he plans to ask lawmakers for nearly $2 billion for public schools over the next two years. Superintendent Chris Rake doll made that announcement during an annual briefing. He said the majority of that money would go toward funding basic education needs in the state and another portion would go toward materials and supplies, insurance and utility costs substitute teachers as well as paying for transportation. And you are watching West Coast rap tonight in Hawaii. Tourism officials are urging visitors to rethink their trips to Kauai following major damage caused by Hurricane Lowell. That storm brought powerful winds and storm surge, causing extensive damage across the island and knocking out power to many people. The Hawaiian Tourism Authority said the visitors should still keep their travel plans for Hawaii, but instead make plans to visit one of the other islands while Kauai recovers in Southern California. More than a dozen homes have been red and yellow tag following severe erosion and sand loss across the coast. Sky Fox flew over Dana Point in Orange County today and you can see collapsed sidewalks and deep sand surrounding many of these damaged properties. As Fox 11's Rachel Aragon reports tonight, residents are calling for more help from county officials as they work to rebuild. This is our 1953 vintage beach bungalow that is now in shambles here. Chris and his wife's beach friend Dana Point home now has an entirely different look and feel. The kitchen and living room completely destroyed and they're not alone. Neighboring homes along Beach Road also devastated by recent high tide and erosion. Chris says he'd like to see the California Coastal Commission make the permitting process easier for residents to protect their home long term. Everything from armoring, which would be rocks and seawalls, uh, to if you want to make a change to your house, they also get last say on that. The other long term fix residents are requesting is sand renourishment. Orange County Supervisor Katrina Foley says that is something she's focused on addressing. When we built the harbor decades ago, the environmental reports county invests 50,000 cubic yards of sand annually to help keep the sand in this electoral salvage zone and the county didn't do it. The city of Laguna Beach has also declared a local state of emergency following massive coastal erosion and sand loss. Foley says she's pushing for the county to declare its own emergency, which could help impacted homeowners. If we can get that approved at the county level, we can help get some Army Corps loosening of the permitting Coastal Commission. We have calls into the governor's office. Chris among the data point residents who want to see action fast as a threat of a historic El Nino looms. It speaks to the fact that we need to do what's been discussed for years and stop talking about it and start doing it in terms of beach renourishment. If that were in place, this this would hardly even be a trickle on the on the beach. And that was Fox 11 Rachel Aragon reporting for us tonight. Of course, people along the coast continuing to deal with all that damage to their properties. And there is concern tonight about the possibility of mawr destructive waves in the months to come. And it's all because of an obscure weather phenomenon tied to El Nino. So we bring our meteorologist Mark to mile back into the picture here to talk about this. Forecasters are tracking what's called a coastally trapped Kelvin wave that has formed in the eastern Pacific. It's expected to make its way up toward the California coast here in just a matter of weeks. What is it that we should know about a Kelvin wave and what it brings? Yeah, so the Kelvin wave, it's almost like a bulge of water linked to El Nino in the warming of the water. And as it heads towards the coast of California, it could create instant sea level rise. So just right now, the expectations are expected us to arrive in San Diego late this month, Los Angeles area early october and then the San Francisco Bay Area by mid october. So we'll dive right into it. But yeah, the coastal areas could actually look a little bit different. If we take a look at the maps right now, we're just showing you general beach video. This is during high tide. And whenever you go to the coast, just if you go during high tide, Alex, just imagine it being a lot higher than the high tide. And that is the concern with erosions and stuff like that setting up. So we're gonna get a little technical here showing you the El Nino region going down in the equatorial pacific. So this is thousands of miles away. Typically what happens is that the normal set up, you get the east to west trade winds, that's the normal set up. The clue with El Nino when it's developing is those trade winds kind of fade away. And when that happens, you kind of get this, this, this, this warm water as they, as these do go away that they weaken, you get this warm water that wants to move and then it shifts right over. It shifts. Yeah. So we show you that in the pacific, but it actually approaches the coastline and then once it hits the coast, it goes south and it goes north. And that's what we're watching out for. In fact, this was the Kelvin wave earlier in the year. I don't know if I could point it out to you, but you can see like on the equator, Alex, that we typically show you to say, oh, this is the warm water out here. This is actually sea level height. So that's the Kelvin wave developing and approaching the coast here. And some of that energy gets pushed to the south. Some of it gets pushed to the north and that is our concern. So here is the set up as you can see here, that energy will be moving out to the north in a Kelvin wave. And what is it or what are the characteristics as you can see here? It's a coastally trapped way for us instant sea level rise, maybe 9 to 12 inches. That's a lot. That is. Yeah. Yeah. And it's a lot, especially if it's, if it's coupled with high tides or even king tides, right? Yeah. And then we're talking about a really concerning. So we're talking about arrival time, say for L. A. And the bay area in october. But the highest tides typically are linked up with the winter solstice in december. So if we were to have another Kelvin wave set up in addition to those real extreme king tides and then you add a storm linked up the El Nino pattern with storm surge and strong winds vacantly to just real serious, serious issues out there. Yeah. So the concern really is sort of the confluence of all of these different factors here. I mean we have, you know, higher sea levels to begin with here. Then you get one of these waves coming through and you have king tides on top of it and it could potentially spell trouble. Yeah. So that's, that's the thing. Whenever we say, okay, there's something headed our way and it's going to arrive here in mid october. People go, oh my gosh, what is that? Right? We're not, we're not. Um, but yeah, it is something to be aware of and you know, it's becoming and you'll notice that there's already higher sea levels out there and that that's just in the background right now. But then you're gonna add this on top of that and then El Nino developing and then maybe some powerful storms and we're just showing you some video. This is actually from Fort point a couple of winters ago near the nearly golden gate bridge and you can see this is the concernable show to you coming up for a second. You can see this was during a high tide event, this was during swell and then watch the effects. It's pretty dramatic. You can see something like that, right? That's what you're driving right? Yeah, that and that obviously causes a lot of damage along the coast, right? Which we have already seen in southern California. Okay, mark, thank you. Appreciate it. Uh, city council in Washington is set to vote tonight on a controversial measure designed to reduce homelessness. We will have the details on what they will be voting on after the break. People from all around the world are in san Francisco right now for the annual dream force convention that kicks off tomorrow. Salesforce's annual conference is one of the largest tech conferences in the country. As KTVU is Devin Truby reports tonight, the event features technology, software and of course A. I. Well, a dream force has taken over Moscone center behind me. The event officially taking place Tuesday through Thursday. Dreamforce, the annual Salesforce technology conference is expecting 50,000 people to be at this year's event coming from around the world. The event grows every year with the interest of artificial intelligence. We are from Central America, so we are a little bit behind. So for us, it really interesting how A. I. Is, um, helping here in U. S. For large companies or retailer companies, safety and security is always the point of discussion. C. E. O. Mark Benioff posted on social media last year that the event adds an additional 200 law enforcement personnel saying the event is proof. Collaboration works in a reminder. The city needs more resources. He then pledged $1 million for police hiring bonuses for the city. This was all around the time. Benioff apologized for his suggestion that the National Guard should be sent to san Francisco ahead of the dream force conference. Safety is always the top priority of our customers. San Francisco is an incredible city. We want to ensure that every customer coming in across the globe comes here and is able to see the beauty of San Francisco. We have a fantastic relationship with the city of San Francisco. We love working with the office of the mayor. Of course, safety is the top priority, and so we're really grateful to the San Francisco Police Department. The conference coming at a time when artificial intelligence is making headlines. C. E. O. San Francisco's anthropic Dario Modi wrote an essay and posted it to his personal website over the weekend. The essay entitled We must pace the frontier said while he believes in a I technology, he worries about the risks and losing control of it and the misuse of a I for cyber attacks and bioterrorism. He is one of the keynote speakers at Dreamforce. Having your data trusted is more important than ever before. Trust is our number one value here at Salesforce. We look forward to welcoming all our customers to help them understand how to build their agenda enterprise, how to know that their data is safe and how to be able to access that data so that those companies can scale and grow even faster. Dreamforce estimates the multi day event will generate $130 million for the city, creating 30,000 jobs this week. Dreamforce is also a fundraiser for UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital. They have the concert on Wednesday featuring Usher and Gwen Stefani at Oracle Park. They are also making a $27 million donation to education. 17 million of that goes directly to public schools like here in San Francisco and in Oakland reporting in San Francisco. Devin Truby KTVU Fox two news. We go now to Oregon, where a Portland podiatrist was sentenced today for sexually abusing 13 patients. Dr Brian Bowen was convicted in June of touching patients during medical exams or when they were recovering from surgery over a period of several years. He later pleaded guilty to 10 additional misdemeanor counts. Bowen was sentenced to eight years and four months in prison. One city near Seattle is set to vote tonight on a controversial proposal aimed at reducing homelessness. The Renton City Council is meeting right now to vote on a camping ban that would make it a misdemeanor to camp and store personal belongings on city property. Violators would be subject to 90 days in jail, a fine of up to $1000 or both. Supporters say this is modeled after a camping ordinance in the neighboring city of Auburn that's been in effect since 2021. They say it's working in that city and it's helping people get sober and sheltered, and it has not resulted in anyone being sent to jail. However, opponents say the proposal wouldn't do much to solve the root problem. This ordinance is not fiscally responsible. What it will do it will make it seem like we have taken homelessness out of the picture, or we've seemingly taken care of it just in time for the election year next year, and then it will come right back up. The A. C. L. U. Of Washington and the Northwest Justice Project are challenging similar ordinances, arguing Washington State Constitution protects against them, especially when shelter availability is taken into account. The organization for a better Renton is also criticizing this approach. They say Renton doesn't have enough resources to implement such a ban still to come here on West Coast wrap tonight. As we wrap up the first week of the NFL season, we're monitoring several injuries across the N. F. C. West, and tonight after the break, we'll get an update on Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnell. Well, the numbers are in, and it turns out the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams game in Australia was a ratings hit. That matchup drew 18.5 million U. S. Viewers on Netflix, ranking among the top three most streamed Thursday night NFL games. Globally, the game drew 21.7 million viewers, with fans in more than 200 countries and territories, all tuning in more than 100,000 fans packed the Melbourne cricket ground for that historic game. The first ever NFL game played in Australia, and the Niners got the W in that one. Week one of the NFL season, wrapping up today with a Monday night football showdown between the Denver Broncos and the Kansas City Chiefs that is underway right now. Every other team in the league, though, is now looking ahead to week two. KTVU sports reporter Bailey O'Carroll joining us now, and let's focus in if we can on the N. F. C. West here. What are we seeing so far in terms of how this division is shaking out after one week of play? Well, I guarantee that if you talk to a lot of people on the street, they wouldn't have the standings how they are right now. And that is the Rams, the Los Angeles Rams, who a lot of people had as a Super Bowl favorites this year. The only N. F. C. West team to not win a game in week one. Now the Niners, Cardinals, Seahawks, obviously all walking away with a W. I think the most surprising one is the Cardinals, who were not expected to be are not expected, I should say, to be a phenomenal team this year, walking in to Los Angeles to take on the Chargers and beating what a lot of people thought was going to be a very well well oiled Chargers team, and that didn't happen. Yeah, they went in there. I got that win at Sofi Stadium. Okay, so during this first week, we have seen some notable injuries to some really important players on a lot of these N. F. C. West squads. Um, let's start first with Seattle because their quarterback Sam Darnold went down in that opener here. What do we know about how he's doing? So we just got an update on Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold. Slightly good news. I'll call it for Seahawks fans. Sam Darnold is dealing with what the team is calling a unique soft tissue injury that's affecting his glute. Darnold's hip is unaffected, so that is the good news. Now we do know that Darnold was at the Seahawks facility today. He was not on the practice field during the portion that is open to the media, and the Seahawks have not provided a firm timeline for Darnold's return, but they are calling it a short term injury. So that is the good thing. And the other good thing is their backup quarterback. Drew Locke played very impressive, played great, and they still got that first win under their belts, even though even though Sam Darnold went out early in that one. Okay, a couple of other injuries. 1 to a key 49ers wide receiver. Yeah, what we expected to be a key 49ers wide receiver this season. They're rookie wide receiver Dijon stribbling. We don't know what shriveling is going to be like yet in the NFL. Simply put, because he's a rookie, you see him go down right there with a deltoid ankle sprain. That's a ligament in his ankle. Now, stribbling had to be carted off the field after a brief stop in the blue medical tent. Uh, NFL Network is reporting that stribbling is going to miss a month with this injury. Uh, surgery not off the table. So this is just yet another serious injury for the San Francisco 49ers team who that has been the headline for this team all last season and not a great start this season. And it sounds like he may have continued sort of playing even after he was initially hurt. Yeah. So he went down for a first time in this game and then came back, uh, to return to play and then went down that second time. That's when he had to be carted off. I know a lot of people are wondering why was he allowed to come back in the game? And the answer to that question is, we don't know yet. That is because Kyle Shanahan, since they played that first game in Australia, they have not had media availability. He is expected to speak on Wednesday. There'll be a lot of questions about that decision. And finally, here we have an update on defensive and Miles Garrett for the L. A. Rams Garrett starting the season on the injured reserve list, which is not what a lot of Rams fans want to hear. Supposed to be their superstar edge rusher. Um, here's the deal with Miles Garrett. He was really a non factor in the game against the Niners, and there was a lot of question marks because of his poor play. Garrett is going to need surgery on his knee. Sean McVeigh Rams head coach told reporters today the team thought that he could play through the injury. That obviously wasn't the case. They don't know when he will be back. And this is a look at the coming matchups here as we head toward week two. Exactly. A lot of exciting one. San Francisco opening up at home. Perfect. Bailey, thank you. All right. Up next here on West Coast Rap, Hollywood rolling out the red carpet for the Emmys tonight. We'll have the details on TV's big night after the break.
