The San Diego Unified School District superintendent admits it has taken awhile to hire a new principal at Lincoln High School however that is to be expected.

“I fully intend to see us all the way through this process where they will have the leadership that they need,” Superintendent Cindy Marten said.

Hundreds of Lincoln High School students walked out class Thursday, demanding the school district hire a permanent principal. The school has been without a permanent principal for nearly a year.

Parents and students say they want current Vice Principal Jose Soto to serve as permanent principal.

The district has said Soto is not being considered for the position at this time. Interviews with potential job candidates are scheduled next week.

The vice principal has made no comment on the protest.

“We’ve seen great gains at Lincoln,” she said. “I want to see that continue.”

Marten mentioned La Jolla High School and Serra High School recently went through a similar process to find a qualified candidate for open principal positions.

Rental prices are rising faster in the suburbs than in the city for the first time in four years, according to new research released by Zillow Friday.

The study suggests that as rent becomes less affordable, renters are beginning to look for cheaper housing options beyond city limits.

The monthly cost of a suburban rental in the U.S. is up by about 2.5 percent, according to Zillow. The cost of a rental in the city is up by 12.3 percent.

According to Zillow, in San Diego, suburban rental prices are up 3.4 percent to an average of $2,553 per month. Urban rental prices are up 4.1 percent to $2,352. San Diego metro rent affordability is at 42 percent.

Out of all the single-family homes in San Diego, 25.2 percent are rentals, according to Zillow.

The trend is more prominent in places like San Francisco and Seattle with booming housing markets and less rent affordability

Over the past decade, the share of income needed for the median rent payment in the San Francisco metro has increased from 34 percent to 44 percent.

In the Seattle metro, the share has increased from 26 percent to 32 percent, the Zillow study showed.

New streetlights are expected to help save San Diego money while saving energy and making parking downtown a lot easier.

While there are a lot of positives about the program, there are also concerns it could cost residents some of their privacy.

Environmental, microphone and optical sensors will soon be part of the upgraded smart streetlight system installed in part of San Diego.

Some of these so-called smart streetlights, with energy efficient LED bulbs, are already in place as part of a pilot program in the East Village.

“All these streetlights are talking to each other and communicating that data to the wireless cloud," said City of San Diego Chief Operating Officer David Graham.

Standing on the corner of 7^th and Market in the East Village, Graham pointed out how the lights are part of the city’s Internet of Things platform — a connected, digital network gathering information through sensors.

Pulling out his cell phone, Graham showed the beta version of the "Parkview App" being developed by the city.

The data from sensors in the streetlights will inform the app where parking is available.

Pointing to red dots on his phone, Graham noted how they’ll tell the user when someone has parked in a space.

“With the parking app we expect to deploy at the beginning of next year, you would know exactly where you could park, whether it’s a metered or unmetered spot and get to that spot and get to the ballpark eating that hotdog so much quicker,” said Graham.

Air quality and traffic patterns will also be monitored by the sensors.

Too many carbon emissions? Too many near-miss accidents? Traffic light changes could be made based on information gathered by the sensors, possibly saving lives.

“We can identify not just where areas are dangerous, but potentially make decisions to improve safety in those crosswalks," explained Graham.

Lifesaving information.  But for some, the lights' optical and audio abilities are raising privacy concerns.

“It's definitely a little eerie. Kind of like big brother is  watching you,” said San Diego resident Tyler Cotman.

Graham said sensors can't read numbers or see faces.

“No license plate readers here. It's about car-sized objects and human-sized objects. That’s the info it's collecting and storing," he said.

The "Electronic Frontier Foundation" in Northern California has voiced concern over smart streetlight programs saying, there's "An inherent risk of mission creep from smart cities programs to surveillance."

The San Diego City Council approved expanding its smart light program in December helping America's Finest City lead the way by building out the biggest city-based internet platform in the world.

“If you look at any of these other buildings you'll notice cameras on them left and right,” said San Diegan Nick Kulbida as he walked down Market. “So something like this that protects public safety, I  think that’s a step in the right direction."

The price tag for the project, $30 million. It's expected to be paid for in energy savings of about $2.5 million a year.

The rollout is expected to start this summer and roll into 2018.

Two San Diego residents suspected in the deadly shooting of a man in City Heights last month were arrested this week in Mexico, investigators confirmed.

San Diego Police Department (SDPD) Lt. Todd Griffin said Luis Dominguez, 21, and Abraham Torres, 20, were taken into custody Thursday in Ensenada, Mexico, in connection with the shooting death of Angel Sanabaria, 26.

The suspects were together during the arrest; the United States Marshalls Service and Mexican authorities aided in their capture. The men are now in the custody of the SDPD, each facing charges of homicide and attempted homicide.

According to investigators, both suspects opened fire on Sanabaria and another victim, Joseph Luna, on the evening of April 1 in an alley on 3200 44th Street in City Heights’ Swan Canyon neighborhood.

After firing, Dominguez and Torres fled the scene. This cellphone video shot by a witness and obtained by NBC 7 appears to show the suspect as they ran away.

When SDPD officers arrived in the area to investigate reports of gunfire that evening, they found a trail of blood and evidence at the scene of the shooting, but no victims.

About 10 minutes later, Sanabaria – suffering from multiple gunshot wounds – went to the UC San Diego Medical Center to seek treatment. He died at the hospital a short time later. Luna, also seriously wounded in the shooting, sought help at Scripps Mercy Hospital that night, too. He survived.

Investigators said Sanabaria and Luna were in the alley when the suspects approached them and opened fire. The motive for the deadly shooting is unknown.

Sanabaria's was going to be a father. His girlfriend was seven months pregnant at the time of this killing. Sanabaria's heartbroken family described him as a caring, strong man who wanted a better future and was trying to change for his unborn child.The victim's family said they would fight for justice in this case.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information can reach out to the SDPD’s Homicide Unit at (619) 531-2293 or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.

A man accused of driving the wrong way on Interstate 5 near the U.S.-Mexico border and causing a collision that killed a motorcycle rider is mentally competent to stand trial, a judge ruled Friday.

Richard Gideon Hammond, 28, of San Diego was heading north on the southbound side of the freeway about 5:15 a.m. on Dec. 3 when his 2007 Mazda 3 sedan crashed into an oncoming 2016 Yamaha motorcycle near Dairy Mart Road in Nestor, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Hammond's car spun and was hit by a 2000 Dodge Dakota truck driven by a 33-year-old National City woman, who had three children in her vehicle.

Daniel Reyes, 27, of Chula Vista, died at the scene.

Hammond and the driver of the truck were treated for minor injuries. The children were not hurt.

Judge Joseph Brannigan reinstated criminal proceedings against Hammond and scheduled a readiness conference in the South Bay for June 30. A preliminary hearing is set for July 13.

Hammond faces six years in prison if convicted of gross vehicular manslaughter.

Cal Fire crews were called to a small brush fire along Interstate 15, near Centre City Parkway just after noon Friday.

At about 1:45 p.m., crews had the fire 50 percent surrounded. The forward rate of the flames stopped spreading at five acres, according to the twitter feed of Cal Fire as of 1:20 p.m. There were three structures threatened by the brush fire.

"This is the time of year that we get these small fires, " said Issac Sanchez, a Fire Captain for Cal Fire. "Later in the year they grow a little faster, but right now things are still working in our favor while the grass has died out for the most part."

At its peak, three homes were threatened by the fire, said Fire Captain Sanchez. Two helicopters operated jointly between Cal Fire and the San Diego County Sheriff's Department were used to fight the fire, said Fire Captain Sanchez.

The aircraft included two fixed-wing air tankers and an air tactical supervisor from Ramona.

"As of right now, we're able to keep most of these [fires] small," said Fire Chief Sanchez. "Although it requires an aggressive initial attack and a coordinated effort."

Nine fire engines, four crews, as well as firefighting aircraft are at the scene. California Highway Patrol Officers have closed one lane on southbound I-15. The fire sparked on the right shoulder.

There were fire engines in place to provide structure protection for at least one home in the area.

The fire was also on a hill which always poses an extra hazard to firefighters.

"Anytime you're fighting a fire on a hill that's always going to be dangerous. The rates of spread are always faster, and then there's the trip-and-fall hazard and things like that," said Fire Chief Sanchez.

No one was injured. No word on what may have caused the fire. The cause is still under investigation.

Police are gearing up to conduct Operation Safe Prom as part of a program to stop teenagers from drinking during prom season.

When prom season takes off, local hospitals frequently notice a spike in emergency room discharges for underage alcohol abuse, according to a law enforcement representative.

Law enforcement held an event Friday morning at the the San Diego County Office of Education to announce the operation, said the representative. The event was held at 10 a.m. on the 6400 block of Linda Vista Road.

Numerous studies have revealed that underage drinking poses a serious health issue in San Diego County, said the representative. According to the California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS), almost two-thirds of 11th graders say it's "fairly easy" or "very easy" for them to get alcohol.

Police and deputies plan to aggressively enforce social host laws that prohibit anyone from hosting underage drinking parties in San Diego County this prom season. It's part of a countywide effort to prevent alcohol-related deaths, injuries and underage drinking.

A crackdown on underage drinking will include extra DUI checkpoints, roving DUI patrols and stepped-up enforcement of social host laws across the county, said the representative.

At the event, law enforcement reminded the public that all 18 cities and unincorporated areas in San Diego County have passed ordinances that make it illegal to host underage drinking parties.

Nearly 500 misdemeanor social host citations have been issued by local law enforcement agencies since 2002, said the representative. Possible consequences for violators include up to six months in jail, a $1,000 fine as well as additional fines. 

In most cases, neighbors are not afraid to call police to report underage drinking parties, said the representative. Between 2011 and 2013, the Sheriff's Department wrote 92 social host citations.

Researchers found more than 90 percent of those citations were reported by neighbors affected by noise, minors vomiting outside homes, fights, sexual assaults and even gunfire, said the representative.

Half the time, deputies say they would find severely intoxicated guests at the underage drinking parties who were unable to care for themselves and required medical aid for alcohol poisoning or injuries.

Escondido Police Chief Craig Carter, Undersheriff Mark Elvin, San Diego Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman, Interim San Diego County Schools Superintendent Edward Velasquez and Ninth District PTA Vice President Carol Green attended the event.

After a quarter-century of beautiful births, San Diego’s Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns hit a milestone Friday, welcoming its 200,000th baby.

The hospital had been waiting all week for the special delivery.

The newborn and the family will be gifted this afternoon with a commemorative certificate and basket of personalized goodies delivered by CEO Trisha Khaleghi.

Sharp Mary Birch, located at 3003 Health Center Dr., opened in 1992. Back then, it had 169 beds and was used as a traditional nursery for newborns. Twenty-five years later, it’s considered the largest and most extensive center for women’s health in Southern California.

Each year, the hospital welcomes around 9,400 babies into the world, making the facility the leader in newborn deliveries in San Diego County and in the state of California. The hospital also specializes in neonatal intensive care of little ones, featuring 84 beds in that unit.

Carmen Colombo, chief nursing officer for Sharp Mary Birch, told NBC 7 earlier this week that despite the hospital’s high volume of births, the staff there strives to make each and every delivery special.

“Every birth is an exciting, special event. So, we do what we do best, which is to make their experience here at Sharp Mary Birch one that’s memorable,” she said.

While there have been some changes to the hospital over the past 25 years, the focus has remained the same. From day one, Colombo, who’s been with Sharp since 1997, said the vision of this hospital was to give families that individualized care.

She said walking the halls of the hospital and catching a glimpse of the excitement in the faces of families who have just welcomed a new baby -- from parents and grandparents, to big brothers and sisters -- is always a wonderful feeling.

“It’s special to that family, and when you know that it's special to that family, and you can see that spark in their eyes and their excitement, it doesn't get old,” she explained. “That’ll never get old.”

Firefighters are headed to Cowles Mountain to rescue a hiker Friday afternoon, confirmed San Diego Fire-Rescue.

San Diego police are investigating another note threatening violence at Rancho Bernardo High School, the fourth threat involving written notes or messages posted to social media in three days.

The note found in a boy's restroom warned something would happen in fourth period on Friday, SDPD Officer Martinez said.

Investigators were at the school and determined the threat was not credible.

No one has been arrested or detained, police said.

Principal Dave LeMaster sent the following email Friday to parents:

"Earlier today another note was found in the same restroom as yesterday. We immediately contacted San Diego PD officers who determined the threat was not credible and that no lockdown was necessary. However, several officers remained on campus during lunch as an extra precaution. The school day has been progressing as normal and students will be released at the regular dismissal time.

We will continue to work with SDPD on investigating the origins of the notes. As always, the safety of our students and community is our top priority."

On Thursday, a note found in the high school's bathroom stated a boy was going to come to the school and start shooting, police said.

“He was going to shoot up the school at 1:10,” said San Diego Police (SDPD) Capt. Stephanie Rose.

Students saw the note in the bathroom, took pictures of it and didn’t tell school administrators until someone finally said something, Rose said.

SDPD officers were called to the campus on Paseo Lucido just after 12 p.m. Thursday. A lockdown was ordered for the high school and a nearby middle school out of an abundance of caution, officials said.

After the lockdown was lifted at 2 p.m., SDPD officials announced three students were detained regarding other threats uncovered in the investigation.

Three 18-year-old Rancho Bernardo HS students were off campus Wednesday when one of them posted a photo to Snapchat showing them with an air soft pistol, police said.

The photo included a message that included a threat, Rose said.

“'Tomorrow it’s done' or something like that,” she said.

Two of those students were in custody--one was not, Rose said.

After the bathroom note was discovered Thursday, a 16-year-old male student messaged a 15-year-old female student and told her he hoped she would be the one shot today, according to the SDPD.

That juvenile was arrested on campus and will face charges of making terrorist threats and annoying or molesting a minor.

There were no weapons found on campus, Rose said. No one was injured.

Bernardo Heights Middle School next to the high school was also placed on lockdown as a precaution.

Two Fort Worth assistant police chiefs have been demoted to captain following an investigation into the leak of a viral bodycam video, their attorney confirms to NBC 5.

Assistant Chief Abdul Pridgen and Deputy Chief Vance Keyes were summoned to a meeting Friday afternoon with Chief Joel Fitzgerald, according to several sources familiar with the meeting.

An official announcement is expected from the police department in a 5 p.m. press conference.

Pridgen and Keyes had been placed on restricted duty amid a probe into who leaked Officer William Martin’s body camera video of a controversial arrest in December. Martin’s private personnel file also was released anonymously.

Martin was suspended for 10 days after he arrested Jacqueline Craig and her two daughters. Cell phone video of the arrests in December was broadcast nationwide and drew widespread criticism.

Craig called 911 to complain a neighbor had assaulted her son after accusing him of littering. Martin questioned why Craig didn’t teach her son not to litter and suggested the neighbor had the right to assault her son.

Weeks after the cell phone video went viral, footage of the same incident from Martin’s body camera was leaked.

The department launched a criminal investigation and a separate internal affairs investigation into the leak.

Pridgen and Keyes have denied being the source of the leaks.

The results of the investigation have not been publicly announced and it was unclear what the punishment would be. It could include demotion, termination, suspension, or no punishment at all.

A city council member told NBC 5 city leaders were updated on the investigation last week and told the result would likely be demotions for both chiefs.

The final decision is up to Chief Fitzgerald.

Assistant City Manager Valerie Washington confirmed the meeting was taking place but said she had no details on the decision.

NBC 5's Alice Barr contributed to this report.

President Trump told Russian officials that firing the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, had relieved “great pressure” on him, according to a document summarizing the meeting.

“I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”

The conversation, which took place earlier this month in the Oval Office, reinforces the notion that Trump dismissed Comey primarily because of the bureau’s investigation into possible collusion between his campaign and Russian operatives, the Times reported.  

Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, did not dispute the account.

In response to the New York Times report, Spicer issued the following statement to NBC News:

"The President has always emphasized the importance of making deals with Russia as it relates to Syria, Ukraine, defeating ISIS and other key issues for the benefit and safety of the American people. By grandstanding and politicizing the investigation into Russia's actions, James Comey created unnecessary pressure on our ability to engage and negotiate with Russia. The investigation would have always continued, and obviously, the termination of Comey would not have ended it. Once again, the real story is that our national security has been undermined by the leaking of private and highly classified conversations."

Smiling from ear-to-ear, a group of special needs students in San Diego graduated from a program Friday that teaches them how to ride a bike – a skill that also comes with a whole lot of newfound confidence.

Each year, the nonprofit organization Crimson Treatment and Research Center hosts the 5-day-long “I Can Bike” camp at Alliant University in Scripps Ranch for about 40 kids. Many of the children have developmental differences and, through instructors and volunteers, the students learn to ride two-wheel bicycles independently.

The kids are given the opportunity to use a fleet of specialized bicycles, including bikes that use rollers on the backs to teach balance. Organizers estimate the program helps 80 percent of enrolled kids ride without any assistance by the end of the five days.

The result is a graduating class of students filled with self-esteem and confidence, ready to roll on their bikes.

“It’s exciting because it’s a milestone that you want every child to have,” said mother Lindsay Siani, whose son, Cooper, graduated from the program Friday.

Her husband, Jason Siani, said the program has helped Cooper focus on the goal at hand.

“It gives them self-confidence,” he added.

For the proud parents, watching Cooper excel on two wheels is a dream come true.

“Especially kids with autism, it’s harder for them to do typical things,” Lindsay said. “And when you see them doing the typical behavior, it warms your heart because it’s one more thing that he can fit in with his friends with. And it’s something we’re very excited about.”

Both of the Sianis’ sons – Cooper and older brother Ethan – are graduates of I Can Bike. Now, the Sianis said they will be riding their bikes together, as a family, all the time.

The Sianis were among dozens of parents who beamed as their children walked across the floor of the gymnasium during the graduation ceremony.

Each grad was awarded a certificate and a medal, each met with roaring claps and smiles from the crowd.

“All the parents here, there’s just so much joy in their faces to watch their children participate,” said Dana Greene, whose son, Spencer, also completed the program. “It was absolutely incredible to have this – now they can ride with their parents at the park. It’s a huge step for them.”

Spencer, sporting a red and black helmet, told NBC 7 he learned to ride a bike this week that matched his helmet and his red backpack.

“What’s cool about my bike is that it’s also red and it has a cool sign on it that says ‘Bike 20,’ said Spencer. “It’s not a race bike; [the sign] is for decoration. When I ride, I feel like it’s in a race.”

Spencer said his experience at the bike-riding camp was great. By the second day, he was riding his red bike on his own.

“I went fast, all around; people were impressed,” he said, grinning. “I was good at the turns. There was one time that I fell down. When I fell down, I got up without crying and everybody was clapping.”

Spencer said he learned that when you fall, you have to get up and try again.

The boy said the first time he rode on his own was an “awesome” feeling. He’s looking forward to using his skills outside of camp.

“Maybe I’ll practice with my dad and go to the park and do my bike on some trails,” he added.

Greene said watching her son ride a bike is a memory she won’t soon forget.

“It’s a huge milestone for them; first the sitting up, then the crawling, then the walking; a couple years down the road, now the bicycling,” she said. “[I Can Bike] builds self-esteem, it builds confidence and that’s what [all parents] want for their kids.”

A senior White House adviser has been singled out as a “significant person of interest” in the federal law enforcement probe of possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia.

A report published Friday by The Washington Post cites people familiar with the matter, who would not identify the individual under scrutiny by name. They did say that the senior adviser is “someone close to the president.”

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer responded in a statement: "As the President has stated before - a thorough investigation will confirm that there was no collusion between the campaign and any foreign entity."

The news comes as the FBI investigation appears to be entering a more active phase, with grand jury subpoenas being issued and interviews being conducted. Sources told the Washington Post that the intensity of the probe will probably accelerate over the next few weeks.

San Diegans celebrated influential civil rights icon Harvey Milk and two honorees at the nineth annual Harvey Milk Diversity Breakfast Friday at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront.

The honorees at the breakfast in San Diego were civil rights activists Cleve Jones and Bishop Yvette Flunder, co-founders of organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area that help HIV/AIDS victims.

"We're in uncharted territory right now for sure, and I don't think anyone knows what's going to happen next," said Jones, offering a note of caution that Harvey's work isn't over yet, in an increasingly contentious political climate.

Jones knew Harvey Milk and worked alongside him in his office as a student intern for 11 months, until Milk was assassinated in November 1978.

"I think the country is facing an extraordinary crisis right now and we need all of us to be leaders," said Jones.

“I think Harvey would be surprised and very proud of us and very pleased with the progress we’ve made.” He continued, “Harvey would want us to know that everything we’ve fought for we now have to defend.”

Assemblymember Todd Gloria (District 78) says that the breakfast is not only a chance to honor Harvey Milk’s legacy, but an opportunity for young LGBT members to understand the community’s history.

“If you don’t know your history, you don’t know where you’re going,” Gloria said.

“It’s a chance to for the community to celebrate the progress we’ve made as LGBT Americans and to continue to make progress on all issues of equality.”

San Diego City Councilmember Christopher Ward (District 3) was also at the breakfast, posing with LGBT elected and appointed officials.

“He really showed us that ordinary people can make great changes in our world,” Jones told NBC 7.

Harvey Milk won a seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977, making him the first openly gay politician to be elected to public office in California. Milk began his activism in San Francisco’s Castro district, where he became affectionately known as, “The Mayor of Castro Street.”

The event was sponsored by the San Diego LGBT Community Center.

Naval Medical Center San Diego held a ceremony Friday to celebrate its 100th anniversary.

The facility opened on May 20, 1917 at Balboa Park to support the, then, newly commissioned Navy training camp.

In 1922, the Naval Hospital was established and then later expanded in 1988. 

A state-of-the-art facility now sits at 1.2 million square feet in Balboa Park. It employs more than 6,500 military and civilan personnel, and has operating rooms, primary care and dental clinics, and recreational facilities.

“They have changed so much for the better. The technology that’s been introduced, the quality of the people— the training that they have, their ability to take care of complex cases is so much better," said Navy Medicine West and chief of the Navy Medical Corps, and retired Vice Adm. Harold M. Koenig.

Koenig also commanded Naval Hospital San Diego from 1985 to 1987.

Cal Fire crews are assisting Camp Pendleton for a 30-acre fire north of India Training Camp Area.

Friday marked Endangered Species Day, bringing awareness to declining animal populations. But what you might not know is that there are endangered species living in Mission Bay in San Diego.

"When people think of endangered species they tend to think of far away, exotic places," said Rebecca Schwartz Lesberg, director of conservation for the San Diego Audubon Society. "We have them right here at the Kendall Frost Marsh Reserve in San Diego."

Schwartz Lesberg added there are three local species of birds that are categorized as endangered:

The Light-footed Clapper Rail is a year round resident of San Diego County's coastal salt marshes. As a result of the loss of over 90 percent of southern California's coastal wetlands, this species has been listed as federally-endangered for over 40 years.

The California Least Tern is an endangered migratory shorebird that nests on our beaches within a limited range from northern Baja California to San Francisco Bay. San Diego County supports 60 percent of the breeding population of this bird at 12 sites including Mission Bay.

And the Belding’s Savannah Sparrow is a non-migratory bird found only along the coast of southern California and northern Baja California.  The endangered bird's range is narrowly restricted to saltwater marsh habitats dominated by pickleweed.

Schwartz Lesberg added the San Diego Audubon Society is working to expand the bird's habitat, which is only one percent of what it was before the 1940's due to humans moving into wetlands.
