By STEFANIE DAZIO, ETHAN SWOPE, JAKE OFFENHARTZ and JOSEPH B. FREDERICK (Associated Press) LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dueling groups of protesters clashed Wednesday at the University of California, Los Angeles, grappling in fistfights and shoving, kicking and using sticks to beat one another. Hours earlier, police burst into a building at Columbia University that pro-Palestinian protesters took over and broke up a demonstration that had paralyzed the school while inspiring others. After a couple of hours of scuffles between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli demonstrators at UCLA, police wearing helmets and face shields formed lines and slowly separated the groups. That quelled the violence, and the scene was calm as day broke. Tent encampments of protesters calling on universities to stop doing business with Israel or companies that support the war in Gaza have spread across the country in a student movement unlike any other in the 21st century, reaching from New York to Texas and California. The ensuing crackdown by police on some college campuses has stirred echoes of the much larger student protest movement during the Vietnam War era. There have been confrontations with law

By LISA MASCARO and KEVIN FREKING (Associated Press) WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Wednesday she would call a vote next week on ousting House Speaker Mike Johnson, forcing her colleagues to choose sides in a difficult showdown after Democratic leaders announced they would provide the votes to save the Republican speaker’s job. Speaking outside the Capitol, Greene ranted against Republican Party leaders at the highest levels and pushed back against their public entreaties, including from Donald Trump, to avoid another messy political fight so close to the November election. With her was Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., one of the few lawmakers to join her effort. “We need leaders in the House of Representatives that are going to get this done,” said Greene, R-Ga., holding up a red “MAGA” hat from Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign movement. “Mike Johnson is not capable of that job,” she said. In pressing ahead next week, she said that “every member of Congress needs to take that vote.” The standoff with Greene, one of Trump’s most enthusiastic supporters, risks throwing Republican control of the House

SANTA CLARA — Here is a look at how the 49ers’ depth chart sets up after the NFL Draft (*indicates starter): QUARTERBACK *Brock Purdy Josh Dobbs Brandon Allen Tanner Mordecai Purdy’s record-setting season (4,280 yards) after his elbow liagement repair alleviates concerns about his backups. But last year’s options at this time – Sam Darnold, Trey Lance – had more upside than this year’s group. Best-case scenario: Purdy produces big again, then scores a big contract next year. RUNNING BACK *Christian McCaffrey *Kyle Juszczyk (FB) Elijah Mitchell Isaac Guerendo Jordan Mason Patrick Taylor Cody Schrader As McCaffrey seeks to defend his NFL rushing crown like Joe “The Jet” Perry did on the 49ers 70 years ago, his immediate backup should be Mitchell, again. But, because of Mitchell’s knee issues and injury history, the 49ers may be more compelled to summon rookie Guerendo’s 4.33-second 40-yard speed. Schrader, undrafted after leading the SEC in rushing at Missouri, could be seen as the next diamond in the rough to flourish in the Shanahan system. WIDE RECEIVER *Brandon Aiyuk *Deebo Samuel Jauan Jennings Ricky Pearsall Jacob Cowing Chris Conley

Wednesday, May 1, 2024 12:40PM Violent clashes break out at UCLA amid dueling demonstrations LOS ANGELES — Police responded to UCLA early Wednesday morning after violent clashes erupted between competing protest groups at a pro-Palestinian encampment on the campus. People were beaten and hit with sticks as the clashes between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli protesters went on for roughly three hours before police intervened. At times, protesters would use barricades as weapons. Before police arrived, a group piled on one person who lay on the ground, kicking and beating them until others pulled them out of the scrum. A chaotic scene unfolded at UCLA where clashes broke out on campus. The violence escalated just before 11 p.m. Tuesday when counter-protesters surrounded the pro-Palestinian encampment. Fireworks were seen being thrown inside the encampment. The clashes took place just outside a tent encampment, where pro-Palestinian protesters erected barricades and plywood for protection – and counter-protesters tried to pull them down. Law enforcement did not immediately intervene amid the violence. LAPD officials said they were in contact with campus police before they got involved around 1:30 a.m. RELATED: Dozens

CORNING—A traffic stop Sunday near Toomes Avenue just north of Viola Avenue resulted in a woman being cited for drugs and other charges. The Corning Police Department said officers saw a vehicle in the middle of the roadway with the passenger door pen and a male standing next to the car.  When officers approached the car, the vehicle door closed, and the male walked away from the vehicle into a driveway. The vehicle drove off. The officer checked the car, which returned with an expired registration. CPD said their officers made a traffic enforcement stop on the car and contacted the driver,  Melinda Ann Provence.  A records check through the DMV showed she had an expired driver’s license. Law enforcement asked Provence to step out of the vehicle. She failed to comply with the officer’s orders. Provence attempted to grab her purse, which was opened in the process. According to CPD, the officers saw drug paraphernalia in plain view. Provence was detained and the purse and vehicle were searched. The search yielded 29.67 grams of fentanyl and drug paraphernalia.
