Man in Pennsylvania being questioned over UnitedHealthcare CEO killing: sources

Editor’s note: This video above was filmed during a Dec. 4 news conference concerning the investigation into the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. NEW YORK (WPIX) – A man in Pennsylvania was being questioned Monday in connection with the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, sources told Nexstar’s WPIX. The man is in Altoona, Pennsylvania, about 233 miles west of New York City, according to sources. He’s believed to have a gun similar to the one used to kill Thompson in front of a Midtown hotel, sources said. The New York City Police Department was en route to question the man, according to sources. The development came as dogs and divers returned Monday to New York’s Central Park while the dragnet for Thompson’s killer stretched into a sixth day. Investigators have been combing the park since the Wednesday shooting, and have been searching at least one of its ponds for three days, looking for evidence that may have been thrown into it. The NYPD offered a $10,000 reward for information in the targeted shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown on Dec. 4

Veteran Daniel Penny not guilty in NYC subway chokehold case over Jordan Neely’s death

NEW YORK (AP) — A Marine veteran who used a chokehold on an agitated subway rider was acquitted on Monday in a death that became a prism for differing views about public safety, valor and vigilantism. A Manhattan jury delivered the verdict, clearing Daniel Penny of criminally negligent homicide in Jordan Neely’s death last year. A more serious manslaughter charge was dismissed earlier in deliberations because the jury deadlocked on that count. Both charges were felonies and carried the possibility of prison time. Penny, 26, gripped Jordan Neely around the neck for about six minutes in a chokehold that other subway passengers partially captured on video. Penny’s lawyers said he was protecting himself and other subway passengers from a volatile, mentally ill man who was making alarming remarks and gestures. The defense also disputed a city medical examiner’s finding that the chokehold killed Neely. Prosecutors said Penny reacted far too forcefully to someone he perceived as a peril, not a person. The case amplified many American fault lines, among them race, politics, crime, urban life, mental illness and homelessness. Neely was Black. Penny is white.

Review: Taylor Swift finishes ‘my beloved Eras tour’ with the assurance of a pro

VANCOUVER —  To get a sense of how long Taylor Swift’s Eras tour lasted, consider that both a big-budget concert film and a hardcover photo book documenting the road show came out while the show was still on the road. Consider that one of the superstar’s former opening acts, Sabrina Carpenter, has become a superstar herself. Or consider that Swift’s latest LP contains a song she wrote about her experience on the Eras tour — a song she went on to add to the very production that inspired it. And now, believe it or not, it’s a wrap. After 149 dates spanning five continents over nearly two years, the Eras tour — the highest-grossing concert tour in history, with estimated ticket sales in the neighborhood of $2 billion — came to an end at last Sunday evening with the third of three sold-out concerts at BC Place. It was the series finale of a cultural phenomenon that reshaped fan culture, that launched countless memes, that grew so popular that people started buying so-called no-view seats to hang out behind the stage and sing along with the

Los Angeles city councilwoman introducing new initiative to prevent crime

The councilwoman representing Los Angeles’ Westside neighborhoods is introducing a new public safety package which aims to protect public safety and prevent crime.  Break-ins, thefts and other crimes have affected private residences and small businesses alike, including Ronnie’s Diner on Culver Boulevard in Del Rey, which is part of L.A. City Councilwoman Traci Park’s District 11.   Ron Garcia and his wife, who have owned the diner for over two decades, say they have been broken into twice in the past year.  “They didn’t steal much [because] there’s not much to take, since everything is credit card based and there’s no cash,” Garcia said. “But the real damage is the cost to repair…our insurance company has limits on what they’ll cover, so there’s a lot of out-of-pocket [expenses] for each time they break in.”  Ventura Police Department introduces new maps to track crimes, calls for service Garcia told KTLA 5’s Annie Rose Ramos that, as restaurant owners, he and his wife “feel alone” and feel as if they are “policing” themselves.  “We’ve [had to] chase people away, and there used to be a lot of

Santa Ana winds to bring extreme fire danger to Southern California

A strong Santa Ana wind event will bring extreme fire danger to Southern California this week. “A fire weather warning is pretty much in effect for all of us, especially as you’re up against the foothill areas,” KTLA Meteorologist Henry DiCarlos said Monday. The warning includes areas of Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties and will be in place until 6 p.m. Wednesday.

Humidities will drop to between 5 and 15% increasing the chance for rapid fire growth. “Toward the end of the week, we will start to see an area of low pressure to the north. High pressure breaks down and we lose the winds,” Henry said. On the bright side, Henry says there will be a modest cooldown and “maybe even the risk of a little drizzle toward the end of

Gas prices fall to the lowest point in 3 years, AAA says

Good news for the millions of drivers on American roads: Gas prices are falling. The national average for a gallon of gas has hit a three-year low, the American Automobile Association (AAA) recently announced. As of Sunday, the national average cost for one gallon of regular gasoline sat at $3.01, according to AAA. That’s the lowest in more than three years, the automotive agency reports. AAA made the announcement on Thursday when gas prices plunged to an average of $3.03 per gallon. However, a few days later, the prices went even lower — nearing below the $3 mark that was last recorded on May 11, 2021, according to AAA. “The national average is tantalizingly close to falling below $3 a gallon, and it could happen in a few days,” Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson, said in a news release. “But 32 states already have an average below or well below $3. Hockley County, Texas, appears to have the lowest county average, at $2.30.” As of Sunday, AAA says the states with the most expensive average prices for gasoline are: Hawaii ($4.56 per gallon) California ($4.39) Washington

The 2025 Golden Globes nominations are out. Here’s the full list

Golden Globes voters may not be known as the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. anymore, but Monday’s nominations for the 82nd edition of the awards certainly had an international flavor. “Emilia Pérez” — a Mexico-set, Spanish-language musical by a French director — and “The Brutalist” — about a Hungarian emigré architect in America — led the field on the motion picture side with 10 and seven nominations, respectively. The films nominated alongside “Emilia Pérez” in the musical/comedy picture category were “Anora,” “Challengers,” “A Real Pain” “The Substance” and “Wicked.” “A Complete Unknown,” “Conclave,” “Dune: Part Two,” “Nickel Boys” and “September 5” joined “The Brutalist” as nominees for drama picture. ”The Bear” led the nominations on the TV side overall with five, followed by “Only Murders in the Building” and “Shōgun,” which earned four nominations each. The 2025 Golden Globes ceremony marks the second edition of the event since the awards came under new ownership in 2023. After a temporary fall from grace when a 2021 Times investigation revealed a lack of diversity in its membership and raised concerns around its ethics and financial practices, the Golden

Here’s what could happen with mortgage rates this December, according to experts

We may receive commissions from some links to products on this page. Promotions are subject to availability and retailer terms. Mortgage interest rates have moved up and down in 2024. Getty Images The economic environment has shifted over the past few months amidst the election, Federal Reserve rate cuts and stronger-than-expected job growth. However, the housing market remains in a bit of a gridlock.  Buying a home can be challenging right now with home prices high, existing homes in short supply, and interest rates still relatively elevated. According to Harvard University, the U.S. home price index is 47% higher than in 2020, and existing housing inventory is down 34% from 2019.  Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the National Association of Realtors, notes that 2023 and 2024 were difficult years for home sales but the worst may be over with.  One of the key shifts many prospective homebuyers are waiting for is lower mortgage rates — which we’ve recently seen some signs of. Below, we’ll take a closer look at the mortgage rate trends over the past year and what experts predict will happen this December. 

Supreme Court turns away case over Boston high school admissions criteria

Election impact on the Supreme Court How Trump’s second presidency could impact the Supreme Court 03:25 Washington — The Supreme Court on Monday turned away a challenge to race-neutral admissions criteria at three prestigious Boston high schools that aimed to increase the racial and economic diversity of their student bodies. Justice Neil Gorsuch noted that the schools have since changed the admissions policy, which “greatly diminish[es] the need for our review.” Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, disagreed with the decision not to hear the case. The challenge came on the heels of the Supreme Court’s June 2023 decision that struck down affirmative action at higher-education institutions and said race can no longer be used as a factor in admissions decisions. Schools nationwide are now weighing how to better diversify their student bodies without running afoul of the Supreme Court’s ruling, and are looking to other factors like zip codes and socioeconomics that can be taken into consideration to achieve that objective. In Boston, admission to the three so-called “Exam Schools,” Boston Latin Schools, Boston Latin Academy and the John D. O’Bryant School

Family Dogs Kill 5-Year-Old Girl in Covina

A 5-year-old girl was mauled on the head and torso as her father tried to protect her from two large family dogs in their backyard in unincorporated Covina, authorities said Monday.

The attacking dogs were a 10-year-old Rottweiler and a 6-year-old Rottweiler-Weimaraner mix, De Jong said. All four of the dogs who lived at the home were taken into custody by L.A. County Animal Control officers. Detectives were investigating the death as “a very unfortunate, tragic accident,” De Jong said.
