#TONIGHT A brazen home burglary in #SanJose’s Berryessa neighborhood. Homeowner tells me the men got away with her safe. Inside, all her jewelry & sensitive documents. She & her family (2 young kids) only moved in two months ago.

No one was home.

Full story @ 11p.

#ONLYON7 At least one #BayArea family won’t be rushing to their neighborhood @PopeyesChicken for the trending #ChickenSandwich. They say a recent order of tenders turned up deep fried paper. Yikes! Take a look. They caught it before their 3yo could eat it. Story @ 11 p. #abc7now

💔— Last night, I fought back tears between liveshots. I love the Gilroy Garlic Festival. So much, this year I begged my mom & aunt to go with my husband & me. Left early because of the heat. Learned about the horrific tragedy just hours later.

#NEW VIDEO: SBPD Chief said it best: "Any shooting is a tragic, silly, stupid event. When you do it in a shopping mall or any type of area where there is going to be a lot of people, shows a true disregard and it's a senseless act." #abc7now #TanforanMall https://t.co/tGZYPaBue4

TARGETED FOR SPEAKING SPANISH? An SJ woman says she was initially greeted in Spanish by one employee @ Shell on Bernal Rd while another worker stood nearby. The short convo was interrupted by 2nd employee who demanded the 2 speak English. Rant caught on-cam. Watch @ 11p #abc7now

#WHAT People are paying big money to infuse plasma from young donors into their own bodies. They believe doing so will treat the effects of NORMAL AGING and other conditions. The @US_FDA is officially warning against the practice. Your thoughts? #foreveryoung #abc7now
