#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 abc7news.com/san-bruno-polic…
VIDEO FROM TANFORAN SHOOTING INCIDENT: We are still sorting through masses of evidence from yesterday's shooting at Tanforan Mall. Here is a brief clip from some surveillance video capturing a portion of the incident: youtube.com/watch?v=5cQqG9RG…

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

Taking a little beach break to post about the most magical day of my life. @AaronGroffTV and I were competing A.M. anchors in Casper, Wy. Now, we’re man and wife. What!? I’ll have more photos and sweet words to share once we’re home. For now we’re mini-mooning. See you on Thurs.!
