Tuesday, April 16, 2024 1:16PM Family members and fellow law enforcement officers gathered in Merced Monday morning to pay tribute to an officer who died 20 years ago in the line of duty. MERCED, Calif. (KFSN) — On April 15, 2004, Officer Gray was gunned down during a routine traffic stop in Merced. On Monday, dozens of officers gathered outside the Merced police station to remember the fallen officer’s life and commitment to the community. At the time of his death, Officer Gray had been an officer with the police department for about seven years. He left behind a wife and three young children. “He has missed out on every middle school, high school and college graduation of all three of our children,” said his wife, Michelle. She said sometimes, it feels like time is at a standstill when she thinks of her husband’s death. “Our whole world just kind of unraveled and I didn’t understand. I still went in, I sat on the gurney with him for hours before I let them take him away because I knew that I would never see him

Albertson, a Buchanan grad and current head coach of the cross country team at Clovis Community College, finished in 7th place at the Boston Marathon. His personal best time of 2:09:53 earned him the distinction as fastest American in a field of nearly 30,000 runners. “On Strava, a running app, I put my ideal Boston splits – kind of jokingly – and it came out to I think 2:09:52,” Albertson told Action News. “I basically ran that exact time.” It’s his fourth time running the Boston Marathon, having set the pace for 20 miles back in 2021 before fading to a 10th place finish. “The course suits me,” he said Monday. “All the downhills kind of beat people up, but I handle them pretty well and so I’m able to

NEW YORK — It’s a moment in history – the first U.S. president facing criminal charges in an American courtroom. Yet only a handful of observers are able to see or even hear what is going on. Instead, most of the nation is getting news of former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial secondhand. Starting with preliminary motions and jury selection Monday, reporters in a Manhattan courtroom must convey what is being said to the outside world after the fact. That’s all because New York state law regarding media coverage of court proceedings is one of the most restrictive in the country. Last week’s death of O.J. Simpson, whose murder trial beamed live from a California courtroom captivated a nation three decades ago, was a telling reminder of how New York is behind the times – or, at least, a holdout. WHY WON’T NEW YORK LET ME SEE IT? Regulations limiting media coverage in courtrooms date back nearly a century, when the spectacle of bright flashbulbs and camera operators standing on witness tables during the 1935 trial of the man accused of kidnapping and killing

We are a nation of procrastinators, at least when it comes to taxes. Nearly a quarter of Americans wait until the last two weeks before the deadline to prepare their taxes, according to the IRS, whereas some miss Tax Day altogether. For anyone who is a last-minute filer or missed the April 15 deadline, here’s what to do. File for an extension If the deadline is fast approaching and it looks like it won’t be possible to file those taxes in time, ask for an extension. If the request is received before Tax Day, it pushes the deadline back another six months and buys time to get everything in order. RELATED: Taxes due 2024: IRS expects ‘tens of millions’ of returns to be filed last minute Filing for an extension, before missing the deadline, can be done by submitting Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, on IRS.gov.

A movie weapons armorer received the maximum sentence of 18 months in jail for involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer by Alec Baldwin on a Western movie set, as authorities now turn their focus on prosecution of Baldwin himself. A New Mexico judge on Monday found that Hannah Gutierrez-Reed’s recklessness amounted to a serious violent offense, while noting few indications of genuine remorse from the defendant since her conviction in March. Prosecutors blame Gutierrez-Reed for unwittingly bringing live ammunition onto the set of “Rust,” where it was expressly prohibited, and for failing to follow basic gun-safety protocols . Attention now turns to Baldwin’s upcoming trial on a charge of involuntary manslaughter in the October 2021 death of Halyna Hutchins at a movie ranch on the outskirts of Santa Fe. Baldwin, the lead actor and co-producer of the film, was pointing a gun at Hutchins during a rehearsal when the gun went off, killing her and wounding director Joel Souza. Baldwin has pleaded not guilty and says he pulled back the hammer – but not the trigger – and the gun fired. Here

RED BLUFF – The scent of comfort food filled the streets of historic downtown Saturday during the annual Chili Cook-off and Car Show. The Red Bluff Volunteer Fire Department booth took both the People’s Choice and Showmanship awards, according to Rotarian Jennifer Vise. “It was a good day to eat chili and it was a good turnout considering the weather,” Vise said. About 20 businesses participated in the event, which always takes place rain or shine. This year, it rained. Though most businesses represented were local, there were vendors from out of the area, as well. There were many first-time contenders at the Saturday event. Olivia Phillips said The Boot Barn in Anderson competed for its first time this year. She said it was “a lot of fun. I’m happy to be here.” Each booth had its own signature style.

RED BLUFF — The Red Bluff City Council Tuesday will discuss the second reading of an ordinance that would establish a local street-first transportation funding measure. The measure would be placed on the November election ballot as a special use tax if adopted. If passed by 66.67% of the voters, city staff anticipated the measure might generate up to 3.8 million in revenue dedicated only to improving local streets. The funds from this .075 percent tax would have a 25-year term and be explicitly used to maintain city streets, improve existing streets, and develop adjacent ADA improvements where required. As part of the measure’s requirements, an oversight committee would be created to ensure the funds are being used properly. This ordinance was drafted using a template from the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration. It was created with input from the City Attorney Sophia Meyer, City Engineer Robin Kampmann, Public Works Director Scott Miller and City ManagerTom Westbrook. Once the ordinance was drafted, it was sent to staff at the CDTFA, who reviewed and provided comments on the proposal. In other business The council

RED BLUFF — The Tehama County Sheriff’s Office arrested a man and woman Saturday morning for an alleged robbery.
