(Allen J. Schaben/Los Angeles Times) March 17, 2024 12:07 PM PT Two people were arrested after a massive brawl broke out outside the Pike Outlets in Long Beach on Saturday. Shortly after 3 p.m., the Long Beach Police Department posted on social media that it was aware of a “a group gathering planned for this afternoon in The Pike” and increased its presence in the area, prompting the shopping complex to close early. The brawl broke out roughly three hours later. Video posted by KTLA-TV shows two girls fist-fighting surrounded by dozens of teenagers. The video shows police officers arresting the two girls involved in the fight. Social media posts indicated that the group had planned to meet up to organize a “smash-and-grab” theft event, according to the Long Beach Post.

The victim’s injuries were non-life-threatening, and he was transported to a hospital. A motive for the shooting, and whether it was related to the nearby brawl, is

(OnScene.tv) March 17, 2024 11:57 AM PT A dramatic police chase ended in the ocean late Saturday night after a woman, with two dogs in the backseat, drove her car straight into the waves just south of the Venice pier. About 11:21 p.m., California Highway Patrol officers attempted to pull over a silver BMW X3 for speeding along the 10 Freeway near Temple City Boulevard. The driver, whom authorities identified only as female, took off instead and continued westbound toward the coast. After running the car into the surf and getting stuck in the whitewash, the driver got out and started swimming farther offshore. More than a dozen onlookers gawked from the beach and others watched from the pier as the bizarre situation continued to unfold. As deputies from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department attempted to rescue the driver, who could be seen bobbing in the waves, county lifeguards discovered two small dogs in the backseat. Video from the scene shows a lifeguard lifting one of the dogs out of the car and cradling the dog back toward shore. The driver was eventually hoisted

(Dania Maxwell / Los Angeles Times) March 17, 2024 11:31 AM PT Upon breaking the tape on a pristine St. Patrick’s Day morning in the City of Angels, Dominic Ngeno dropped to his knees and kissed the ground in celebration of winning the 39th Los Angeles Marathon.

Los Angeles International Airport is experiencing “significant” traffic congestion that could cause flight delays amid construction-induced road closures around the area on Sunday morning. In a post to X, formerly Twitter, LAX urged travelers to arrive early for their flights to help with traffic concerns. “We are anticipating increased traffic congestion at LAX,” the airport said. “Guests are encouraged to arrive early, pre-book parking and use Cell Phone Waiting Lots to help with vehicle traffic.” At 12:47 p.m., the airport said there could be some impacts to flight times. The airport’s traffic map showed significant delays throughout the various terminals. Social media users and KTLA 5 viewers reported that travelers were exiting vehicles with their bags and walking to the terminals from city streets. A screenshot of the LAX Live Traffic map shows heavy congestion in and around the airport on Sunday, March 17, 2024. (LAX) “Absolutely horrendous traffic,” said X user David Barnett. “More than an hour to go 1/2 mile. People walking with bags for miles. Flights being missed.

With the arrival of spring in the nation’s capital, House lawmakers moved with surprising speed to push a bipartisan bill to try and force the social media platform TikTok to change the way they do business. But with 170 million American TikTok users, what’s not so surprising is the politics playing a part in the back-and-forth over a ban, since both parties see the app as a platform to woo young voters.

Mike Gallagher says 08:48 Washington — Rep. Mike Gallagher, a Wisconsin Republican, said on Sunday that the forced sale of TikTok “absolutely could” happen before November’s election, as legislation that would demand the sale — or ban the app altogether — makes its way through Congress. “The closer we get to an election, the risk just gets greater and greater,” Gallagher said on “Face the Nation” on Sunday of the threat posed by the widely popular video-sharing app.   Transcript: Reps. Raja Krishnamoorthi and Mike Gallagher on “Face the Nation,” March 17, 2024 TikTok has for years been under fire by U.S. officials amid warnings that China’s government could gain access to its data and use it to manipulate or spy on Americans. But a renewed push against the app gained momentum last week, as the House approved legislation that would compel the company to either sell the

A small but mighty troop of Irish-born soldiers would defend their faith and defy the United States, a country where they sought freedom. El batallón de San Patricio, defectors from the U.S. Army, stood in solidarity with Mexico during the Mexican-American War of 1846-48. Nearly 180 years later, historians, scholars and writers still find themselves engrossed by the story of the San Patricios. Their proud Irish identity and religious conviction became a symbol of unity and camaraderie that was carried throughout the battles. Historically, the San Patricios, led by Irish native John Riley, have been valorized as unsung heroes and criticized as turncoats. “In the United States, they’re largely reduced to certain Leftists or activist circles. But that’s true for the broader American understanding of the Mexican-American War,” said Alexander Aviña, an associate professor of history at Arizona State University. A nativist movement built on anti-Catholic sentiment and Anglo-Saxon supremacy ran rampant in America during the 1840s. For the Irish Catholics who escaped poverty, prejudice and colonization under British rule, they arrived in the U.S. only to be met by similar derision. “How can a

Kiss your moderately-priced hot dogs goodbye, non-members. Costco, in its latest effort to crack down on non-members accessing members-only services, is limiting access to its food courts to Costco cardholders only, according to store representatives who spoke with Nexstar. The policy itself isn’t exactly new — Costco’s food court is intended for paying members — though it hasn’t always been enforced at Costco locations where the food courts can be accessed via walk-up outdoor windows. Fleeing suspect ends up in Pacific Ocean after wild pursuit in Los Angeles It now appears that Costco has decided to more strictly enforce the policy. Many Costco customers (both members and non-members alike) first caught wind of Costco’s latest efforts earlier this month, via a Reddit post containing an image of a sign reportedly posted outside a Costco food court in the Orlando area. “Effective April 8, 2024, an active Costco membership card will be required to purchase items from our food court,” reads the sign in the image. “You can join today. Please see our membership counter for details.” Representatives from several Costco locations have since confirmed plans

Last Monday, Long Beach State announced it would be seeking a new basketball coach. Five days later, Dan Monson reminded the school it already had one. In one of the maddest storylines of March, Monson’s team did not go quietly in what was supposed to be his final week on the job. Losers of five consecutive games, the Beach rolled through the Big West Conference tournament with victories over UC Riverside, UC Irvine and UC Davis. Now, its season will roll on into the NCAA tournament with a coach who is on the way out. The team’s first-round opponent will be announced Sunday afternoon. What happens if the Beach (21-14) continues to roll like a tidal wave through another week or so? Monson sounded like he had accepted that he would be headed elsewhere after his team’s 74-70 victory over UC Davis on Saturday night at the Dollar Loan Center in Henderson, Nev. “I got the run in ‘99 at Gonzaga,” Monson, who guided the Bulldogs to the Elite Eight that season, told ESPN after the game, “but as [current Gonzaga coach] Mark Few texted
