Day Around the Bay Armed Robbery Chase Ends In Shooting In San Jose

An adult female gray whale washed up at Alameda's South Shore Beach, likely the same whale seen floating near the USS Hornet Museum last week. This incident marks the fifth whale to wash up in the Bay Area since March 30, prompting officials to plan a necropsy to determine the cause of death. In transportation news, Alaska Airlines announced it will cut three daily flights from San Francisco International Airport to Chicago O'Hare and Washington Dulles starting in mid-August. The cuts come amid ongoing competition with United Airlines, which dominates both routes. Barbara Lee held her first formal press conference as Mayor-elect of Oakland, discussing her priorities for the first hundred days of her administration.

Election results are expected to be certified in a couple of weeks, with Lee likely to be sworn in by mid- to late May. Meanwhile, an armed robbery suspect was shot by police during a pursuit that started in Concord and ended in San Jose, resulting in non-life-threatening injuries for the suspect. The combination of these local events highlights significant developments in the Bay Area this week.
