Police say 32-year-old Christopher Avila is still in custody, while 32-year-old Colin Laurila and 32-year-old Daniel Watson were cited and released.

Friday, May 3, 2024 7:42PM The path is now clear for Bakersfield Assemblyman Vince Fong to run for the congressional seat vacated by Kevin McCarthy. FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — The path is now clear for Bakersfield Assemblyman Vince Fong to run for the congressional seat vacated by Kevin McCarthy. Secretary of State Shirley Weber has dropped her appeal to challenge Fong’s eligibility to appear on the ballot for the 20th Congressional District. Fong filed to run for Congress after McCarthy announced his resignation last December. This came after Fong had already filed to run for re-election to the State Assembly. The secretary of state originally wanted Fong removed from the November general election ballot. A recent court ruling said the Republican can remain on the November ballot for Congress. Fong faces fellow Republican and Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux in November. Copyright © 2024 KFSN-TV. All Rights Reserved. Top Stories

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Law enforcement officers from across the country honored the life of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department Officer Joshua Eyer on Friday. Eyer was one of four officers shot and killed Monday while trying to serve a warrant to a convicted felon. Friday’s services started with a precession at 9:30 a.m. Eyer’s body in a flag-draped coffin was brought from police headquarters on a horse-drawn caisson three blocks to the church where the late evangelist Billy Graham held his first crusade. Officers lined the street as dozens marched playing bagpipes and drums. Behind them were hundreds more Charlotte-Mecklenburg officers walking quietly in dress uniforms to the church where an American flag hung from the top of a firetruck’s tall ladder. There was a huge turnout at the church, blocks down from a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police station. About 2,000 people packed inside between the main service and the overflow room. There were also about 500 people outside of the church. The church said there were two truckloads of flowers and a third on standby. Some of Eyer’s peers and loved ones, including his wife Ashley, best friend

Take a step to the dark side on May the 4th By Amy Becker Friday, May 3, 2024 5:58PM Just in time for Star Wars day on May 4th is a brand new, six-part animated anthology series is debuting on Disney+. LOS ANGELES — One path to the dark side. Two destinies. Set during two different eras, “Star Wars: Tales of the Empire” tells the stories of Morgan Elsbeth and Barris Offee. After her people are destroyed, Morgan Elsbeth finds herself on a path of vengeance, leading her to turn to the Galactic Empire. In different eras and on divergent paths, Morgan Elsbeth and Barris Offee navigate the Galactic Empire in “Star Wars: Tales of the Empire” “We get to explore the fact that in many ways, when she says, ‘My anger gives me strength,’ that’s her armor, right? She’s angry. She’s a survivor, and she is committed to creating a different destiny for herself,” said Diana Lee Inosato, who voices Morgan. In another era, Barriss Offee, a former Jedi, struggles between her moral obligations and the choices presented to her. Meredith Salenger, who reprises

It is time for celebration …Cinco de Mayo is here. The day is a double celebration for me since it is also my birthday. When asked for my birth date throughout the year at the doctor’s office, pharmacy or wherever, Cinco de Mayo is quite often the topic of conversation. The day celebrates Mexico’s victory over France at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. The day is sometimes thought as being Mexico’s Independence Day, which it is not. Mexico’s independence from Spain is celebrated on Sept. 16. What I find interesting is that it is believed the day is celebrated with more gusto here in the United States than in its native country, although it is a big celebration in Puebla. Here, it has become a celebration of Mexican heritage, culture and of course, food and drink; like how we recognize Irish culture on St. Patrick’s Day. May 5 is a day on which many prepare Mexican-inspired fare for a party, and a batch of margaritas to wash it all down. This year, since it falls on a weekend, the celebration can start

By Sam Kemmis | NerdWallet Americans are traveling abroad in droves. The number of U.S. citizens flying to international destinations reached nearly 6.5 million passengers in March, according to the International Trade Administration. That’s the highest March total in over five years and shows that the post-pandemic “revenge travel” trend is the new normal. It wasn’t just March, which usually sees a spike in international departures for spring break. In every month of 2024 so far, more Americans left the country than last year and 2019. These trends point to a blockbuster summer for overseas travel. Nearly half of Americans (45%) plan to travel by air and/or stay in a hotel this summer and expect to spend $3,594 on average, on these expenses, according to a survey of 2,000 U.S. adults, conducted online by The Harris Poll and commissioned by NerdWallet. That’s despite rising travel prices that have caused some hesitancy among would-be travelers. About 22% of those choosing not to travel this summer cite inflation making travel too expensive as a reason for staying home, according to the poll. So where are traveling Americans

This is part of a series of South Florida Sun Sentinel articles exploring maternal health care. It is 2 a.m. when Brianca Spence slips behind the wheel of her car. The drive to the nearest hospital can stretch as long as an hour, and feel like an eternity when she’s rushing to guide an expecting mother through childbirth. As labor unfolds, Spence will translate the harsh demands of a nurse on duty into calming guidance. She will encourage the woman to ask for pain medication when she needs it or suggest a position change to speed up labor. And, when the mother eventually returns home with a new baby, Spence will be her pillar of support, encouraging her to stick with breastfeeding, or go for her postpartum doctor’s visit. Babies born early, ill, or dead: Florida spends millions on prevention. Why isn’t it getting better? In this maternity care desert on the western fringes of Palm Beach County, Spence’s mission as a doula is to advocate for mother and baby before, during and after childbirth. If she does her job well, she will play a

Kristin Jones | KFF Health News (TNS) More than 60 years ago, policymakers in Colorado embraced the idea that early intervention could prevent child abuse and save lives. The state’s requirement that certain professionals tell officials when they suspect a child has been abused or neglected was among the first mandatory reporting laws in the nation. Since then, mandatory reporting laws have expanded nationally to include more types of maltreatment — including neglect, which now accounts for most reports — and have increased the number of professions required to report. In some states, all adults are required to report what they suspect may be abuse or neglect. But now there are efforts in Colorado and other states to roll back these laws, saying the result has been too many unfounded reports, and that they disproportionately harm families that are poor, Black, or Indigenous, or have members with disabilities. “There’s a long, depressing history based on the approach that our primary response to a struggling family is reporting,” said Mical Raz, a physician and historian at the University of Rochester in New York. “There’s now a wealth of

Jeff Ostrowski | Bankrate.com (TNS) As homebuyers grapple with record prices this spring, mortgage rates have also crept up. On a 30-year fixed loan, the average rate was 7.39% as of May 1, according to Bankrate’s survey of large lenders, marking three straight months of 7% rates. Blame inflation. It’s still stubbornly elevated, rising to 3.5% in March, and that’s led to dialed-back expectations about how quickly the Federal Reserve cuts rates this year, if at all. The central bank left rates unchanged at its latest meeting concluding May 1. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate was 3.98% in March, while economic growth slowed to 1.6% in the first quarter of 2024. All of these factors have added up to an uncertain timeline for the Fed, prompting investors to bid up 10-year Treasury yields, the informal benchmark for 30-year fixed mortgage rates. Mortgage rate predictions May 2024 As May ushers in peak real estate season, forecasters aren’t anticipating a break from the current spate of 7% mortgages. “The wind continues to blow in the wrong direction for mortgage borrowers,” says Greg McBride, Bankrate’s chief financial analyst. “Rates have spiked as inflation runs hot, the

By KAREN MATTHEWS, MICHAEL HILL, JULIE WATSON and CHRISTOPHER L. KELLER (Associated Press) NEW YORK (AP) — Police ordered pro-Palestinian protesters to abandon a tent encampment at New York University early Friday, following weeks of demonstrations and police crackdowns at college campuses nationwide that have resulted in more than 2,300 arrests. About a dozen protesters who refused police orders to leave were arrested and about 30 more left voluntarily, according to NYU spokesperson John Beckman. The school asked the New York Police Department to intervene “to minimize the likelihood of injury” and disruption, Beckman said. Classes will proceed as scheduled on Friday, he said. A larger NYU encampment was dismantled on April 22, when more than 130 protesters were arrested. Tent encampments of protesters calling on universities to stop doing business with Israel or companies they say support the war in Gaza have spread across U.S. campuses in a student movement unlike any other this century. Israel has branded the protests antisemitic, while Israel’s critics say it uses those allegations to silence opposition. Although some protesters have been caught on camera making antisemitic remarks or
