Fresno State football hosts 2024 Pro Day

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — Fresno State football played host to another pro day in front of scouts from 20 different NFL teams Monday morning. Eleven draft-eligible Bulldogs got a chance to show off their skills through weight training evaluations and on-field drills, but nobody may have been happier with their performance than Sanger High grad Morice Norris Jr. When asked what grade he would give himself, the former Bulldog defensive back did not hold back. “A++,” Norris Jr. said. The former Sanger Apache basketball standout turned Fresno State nickelback led all players with a 38″ vertical and a 10’4″ broad jump. “I be dunking on people, I’m telling you,” Norris Jr. said. Norris Jr. said the Philadelphia Eagles have shown some love for his athleticism, liking his ability to play multiple defensive back positions. “Philly’s a nice place to play, man,” Norris Jr. said. So if they want to come grab me, they can. They saw what I did out here today.” Bulldog defensive end and Modesto native Isaiah Johnson also had a solid day. “I feel like a big weight is off my shoulders

Community mourning 2 young siblings killed in house fire in Fresno County

FRESNO COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) — A community is mourning the loss of two young siblings, a 7-year-old girl and her 8-year-old brother. Both died in a tragic house fire near Kingsburg on Sunday morning. Their mother told deputies she was in the home when the fire started but couldn’t get to her kids. She then rammed an SUV into the home to try to rescue them and is now hospitalized with burns to her hands and face. Her 8-year-old son was a student at Monte Vista in Reedley. Her 6-year-old daughter attended Kingsburg Elementary Charter School District’s Roosevelt campus. “Mrs. Stone described her as she would give her snack away in order to make other students happy. And I think that describes both students perfectly. They just wanted other people to be happy, and that’s what made them happy,” says Dr. Wesley Sever Superintendent of Kingsburg Elementary Charter School District. Superintendent Dr. Wesley Sever says his staff is devastated, especially those who worked closely with the two children. Support services have been offered at several campuses to help everyone cope with this devastating loss. Family

‘The Women Tell All’ and ‘The Bachelor’ Joey picks his final 2 women

LOS ANGELES — There was so much happening in this episode that Gina and I both contributed to writing it all! Plus, Gina attended the recording of “The Women Tell All.” “The Women Tell All” is always an intense episode, but we also had the conclusion of the Fantasy Suite dates to get through so we could find out who would be Joey’s final two. We started the episode with Jesse welcoming everyone and Maria getting a huge round of applause when Jesse mentioned her name. “The Golden Bachelor” women also got a shout-out for their new podcast called “The Golden Hour.” Watch Parties Then, Jesse and Joey traveled across the country to drop in on some watch parties. What a thrill for those members of Bachelor Nation! A sorority at UCLA gave him a warm welcome reminiscent of the love boybands of the 90s and 00s got. They traveled to a beautiful rooftop bar and it was great because Joey gave some fun insight into what he was thinking on his dates. Also, ahem Ryan Field of our “Playing the Field” podcast, there are

Doctors encouraging vaccines after measles exposure in Merced County

MERCED, Calif. (KFSN) — The Merced County Department of Public Health says there was probable measles exposure in the community. Action News made several attempts to get answers from the Department of Public Health on Monday. They declined our request for an on-camera interview and didn’t want to answer our questions, trying to get clarification on the exposure. After we asked for an interview, a spokesperson sent over a statement similar to previously shared information. “Merced County Department of Public Health has confirmed a probable measles exposure in the community. The Department has identified exposures through contact tracing and is working with those exposed individuals and healthcare providers.” “We have sort of gotten used to the fact that there really aren’t any more childhood diseases because people are vaccinated,” said Doctor Rodrigo Dezubiria with Castle Family Health Centers. Dezubiria says he heard of measles exposure in Merced County. He explains that a case of measles can be confused with a common cold. “People do get upper respiratory things, a runny nose, a cough, congestion and stuff like that, but then they do develop a pretty

Mom recalls fighting off gunman during Pennsylvania killing spree that left 3 dead

FALLS TWP., Penn. — Nancy Daniel is speaking out after fighting off the gunman accused of killing three people, including his 13-year-old sister, in Pennsylvania before carjacking a driver and fleeing to New Jersey over the weekend. “The first thing I remember is Taylor coming to me saying, ‘Mom, Andre’s here, he’s got a gun. Go in your room,'” recalled Nancy of the March 16 killing spree. Andre Gordon She was inside the home on Edgewood Lane around 9:01 a.m. when authorities say the suspect, 26-year-old Andre Gordon Jr., broke in and killed 25-year-old Taylor Daniel, who is the mother of his two daughters. “She grabbed the girls from the living room and took them into her room and closed the door,” said Nancy, who is Taylor’s mother. “Not being one to listen, I came out and I saw him standing here and he was ramming the gun into the door and broke all the glass and the door down. Then he went and tore her door down.” After hearing the gunshots, Nancy exited her bedroom and hit Gordon with a wooden axe handle, according

Anthony Davis plays and Lakers overcome shaky start in blowout win over Hawks

Anthony Davis didn’t need 20/20 vision to see the Atlanta Hawks were trying to grab the Lakers’ attention. After the Lakers turned the ball over on the first play of the game, Hawks forward Jaylen Johnson turned the ensuing fast break into a highlight, jumping almost completely over Austin Reaves — the rare occasion where the story begins with an exclamation point before anything is written. The dunk, which for Reaves’ sake was overshadowed by Anthony Edwards during a different game in Utah, triggered an 11-2 start for Atlanta for a sudden wake-up call. But with Davis back in the lineup after sustaining a scratched cornea Saturday, the Lakers (37-32) quickly found their rhythm, making sure Johnson’s highlight was an outlier in a game that was otherwise all Lakers. All five starters finished with at least 12 points, all had big moments and all were able to spend most of the fourth quarter on the bench during a 136-105 win over Atlanta on Monday night at Crypto.com Arena to end a two-game skid. Lakers star LeBron James reacts after scoring on a fast-break layup against

Sherman Oaks restaurant owner says transients are responsible for recent arson

A restaurant owner in Sherman Oaks is thankful no one was hurt after multiple suspects deliberately started a fire in the dumpster outside the establishment. The incident occurred on March 16 at Casa Vega, a popular neighborhood restaurant. Security footage shows the arsonists pouring an accelerant into the dumpster and lighting it on fire. “The flames were about 10 feet high, right next to our grease trap,” owner Chstisty Vega told KTLA 5’s, Sandra Mitchell. “If they would have hit our grease trap, it would have been like a bomb explosion.” Vega says the large amount of unhoused individuals in the area has led to a spike in crime. “We have constant assaults by transients coming into the restaurant,” Vega said. “We had a busser stabbed coming into work, right in the driveway of Casa Vega.” Business owners in the popular Ventura Boulevard neighborhood have contacted the city to help with the growing population of unhoused people. Some locals are taking matters into their own hands, by starting a neighborhood watch group. Robert Tomlinson volunteers for the organization. He saw the fire on Saturday and

Warriors beat down at home by short-handed Knicks

SAN FRANCISCO — Late in the third quarter, after Josh Hart went coast-to-coast for a layup, Draymond Green’s inbounds pass hit an unsuspecting Trayce Jackson-Davis in the back of the head for a turnover. If it wasn’t already clear it wasn’t the Warriors night, that moment made it certain. The Warriors started slow and never led the short-handed Knicks. Miles McBride, who averages 6.5 points per game and had started nine career games before Monday, played all 48 minutes and dropped a career-high 29 — including a dagger 3 over Draymond Green. Jalen Brunson went off for 34 points and Josh Hart added a triple double, exacerbating Golden State’s season-long home woes. The Knicks, who don’t take nights off under coach Tom Thibodeau, knocked the Warriors (35-32) back down to the 10-seed with their 119-112 win. Even without starters Julius Randle and OG Anunoby — plus center Mitchell Robinson, who’s out for the year — the Knicks brought it to the Warriors. Their 8-0 run to start the game was the biggest by a Warriors opponent this year. Golden State’s starting unit that has coalesced recently

San Jose insurance agent charged with ‘good student’ discount fraud

SANTA CLARA COUNTY – A former auto insurance agent has been charged with submitting fraudulent documents to obtain lower rates for his clients, as well as rack up thousands of dollars in commissions for himself, according to South Bay prosecutors. Thomas Truong, 61, of San Jose, was scheduled to be arraigned Monday afternoon, the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office said in a news release. If convicted, he will likely be ordered to pay restitution and serve a county jail sentence. Truong allegedly submitted “good student” forms from Mission College in Santa Clara to his employer, Farmers Insurance, to get discounts for at least 10 clients, according to prosecutors. Eight had never attended college and the others did not attend during the dates listed on the forms. Prosecutors said a California Department of Insurance investigator found Truong fraudulently altered a total of 10 college diplomas, 14 high school report cards and 10 school official statements. When shown the altered documents, each client told the investigator they had never seen them before, according to prosecutors. Many of the clients also said they were not aware they

Kurtenbach: Blake Snell is coming to San Francisco and suddenly the Giants make a whole lot more sense

The Giants wanted to make a splash this offseason. Well, the offseason ended weeks ago, but the Giants have certainly made a splash. To start off March, San Francisco signed All-Star, Gold-Glove third baseman Matt Chapman — one of the top free-agent position players on the market. And on Monday, they went even bigger, signing the reigning National League Cy Young winner, Blake Snell. The New York Post reported that the Giants and Snell agreed to a two-year deal (with an opt-out after 2024) worth $62 million. Add those two big-time pickups to a team that already added centerfielder Jung Hoo Lee (at a more traditional time), and the Giants have done pretty well for themselves. It took a while, but this team makes some sense now. In a league where so many teams are simply playing to be a bit better than mediocre — 83 or 84 wins should land a Wild Card spot — San Francisco should be expected to rise above that morass with Snell and Chapman in the fold. The Giants are no longer a team that is simply hoping to

A’s spring training: Ross Stripling bounces back, J.D. Davis stays hot as A’s tie again

Right-hander Ross Stripling bounced back Monday from two rough spring training starts to give the Oakland A’s five strong innings and his ex-Giants teammate, J.D. Davis, kept swinging a hot bat in Arizona. Stripling, 34, didn’t give up a lot of hard contact against the Arizona Diamondbacks while permitting three runs in what turned out to be Oakland second consecutive 3-3 tie. The A’s projected fourth starter to begin the season, Stripling looked much better than his previous two starts when he got roughed up for 14 runs over 7 1/3 innings to push his ERA over 10. He had one walk and three strikeouts Monday during his longest spring start. Davis, batting second as the designated hitter in his second A’s game, had two hits against Merrill Kelly, one of Arizona’s aces who struck out seven in his 3 1/3 innings. Davis, who is hitting .450 overall, has three hits in five at-bats since joining the A’s on Friday following his release by the Giants. Oakland rallied for three runs in the eighth inning to tie the game, thanks to RBI hits from Esteury

See that weird streak of light across Southern California? Rocket

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the Starlink 7-16 mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base on Monday, as seen from L.A.’s Chinatown. (Myung J. Chun / Los Angeles Times) March 18, 2024 8:42 PM PT That dazzling streak of light across Los Angeles’ twilight sky around 7:30 p.m. on Monday was Space X’s Falcon 9 carrying 22 Starlink satellites to low-Earth from Vandenberg Space Force Base. Earthlings from Southern California to Phoenix were treated to a spectacular, albeit brief, show as night fell and the light illuminated the sky, followed by a contrail that slowly dissipated. But the images quickly flooded social media, and “SpaceX” became a trending topic on the social media site X, where users posted their shots of the images — the speck of a rocket soaring above tall pine trees, or far beyond the street corners, framed by palm trees and alone in the sky. The launch was the 10th at the base this year, according to Space X. Around the country, the rockets have evoked awe, especially for those unaccustomed.

Long Beach police arrest suspect in October 2023 murder

The Long Beach Police Department has made an arrest in the October 2023 murder of a 33-year-old man. Authorities say Joseph Ballard, 23, is responsible for the shooting death of Thomas Ferguson, a resident of Fontana. The shooting happened on Oct. 22, 2023, around 2:30 p.m. in the area of 14th Street and Long Beach Boulevard. When officers responded, they found Ferguson suffering from a gunshot wound. He was transported to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries. Police say the investigation revealed that Ballard and Ferguson got into some kind of altercation which led to shots being fired. It’s unclear if they knew each other. Authorities say there were several witnesses in the area at the time of the shooting, but they were unable to pinpoint a suspect. As the investigation continued, police say Ballard became a focal point. The 23-year-old was arrested in November 2023 for a separate incident, for which he was sentenced to a state prison. Detectives presented the case to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office last month, and Ballard was transported from the prison to
