Police are still searching for the gunman who killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Wednesday outside a New York City hotel. CBS News correspondent Lilia Luciano has the latest on the manhunt.

A growing number of unemployed workers have been searching for a new job for more than 15 weeks, labor data shows.

As the manhunt continues for who shot UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, here’s a look at the gunman’s movements.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Red Bluff CHP announced that it had arrested two women for their involvement in an alleged copper theft on Nov. 25. According to CHP, it responded to a report of communication wire theft near Interstate 5 south of Jellys Ferry Road. CHP says that around 8:57 a.m., officers found Tara Marie Haley, 39, of Redding, and Breanna Sue Plummer, 40, from Red Bluff, near a vehicle in the area. They say that after investigating, officers arrested both women on charges of conspiracy to commit grand theft of copper wire and conspiracy to commit malicious injury to communication lines. They were booked into the Tehama County Jail. Red Bluff CHP said it is working with detectives from the Tehama County Sheriff’s Office and Redding Police Department to investigate related cases of copper wire theft and communication line sabotage. “These arrests are a significant step in addressing the ongoing issue of copper wire theft and communication line sabotage in our region,” said CHP Lieutenant Bret Kwarta. “We remain committed to working with our law enforcement partners to protect critical infrastructure and hold those responsible

SANTA CLARA – NFL wide receivers, especially those notoriously drafted in the first round, might throw a hissy fit if they went three straight games without a catch. Ricky Pearsall’s perspective is unique. Of course. Three months ago, he survived a gunshot wound through his chest. Three games without a reception? His death-defying experience, from that Aug. 31 attempted robbery in San Francisco’s Union Square, casts things in a brighter light. “It definitely does, because at the end of the day, there is more to life,” Pearsall said in an exclusive interview Wednesday in the 49ers’ locker room. “You know, having an experience like that, it’s just a little more of an awakening.” That’s not to say Pearsall is content about a three-game drought that coincides with a three-game losing streak by the last-place 49ers (5-7). He is not discouraged going into Sunday’s home game against the Chicago Bears (4-8). Five regular-season games left, and rather than succumb to statistical odds, it’s imperative they pump up Pearsall, knowing full well that No. 1 wideout Brandon Aiyuk’s knee may not be ready until the 2025 season

Thursday, December 5, 2024 2:53PM California stands defiant as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House. SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KFSN) — California stands defiant as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House. “Let me be clear, President-elect Trump’s immigration agenda is draconian and his rhetoric, xenophobic,” said California Attorney General Rob Bonta. The democrat spoke Wednesday morning about his efforts to protect the rights of immigrants and their families in the state. “We’re issuing updated policies to guide institutions and their staff in complying with California law limiting state and local participation in immigration enforcement activities,” said Bonta. Bonta held his press conference in a public library in San Francisco, one of the institutions included in the updated guidance. The policies are based on SB-54, which was passed in 2017 and limits the information state institutions and agencies can share with the federal government for immigration enforcement. Immigrants are bracing for the incoming administration too. “People are nervous, anxious. They want to make sure they have their status firmly set and all their papers together. If there’s anything more they

NEW YORK — Police appear to be closing in on an identity of the man suspected of gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Midtown Manhattan, sources told ABC News on Thursday.

RED BLUFF – Tehama County is working to clean up the damage from the late November winter storm. Facilities Manager Levi Conner shared that the weather hit hard for Tehama County River Park in Corning, Mill Creek Park in Los Molinos, and Cone Grove Park in Dairyville. All three flooded. River Park and Mill Creek Park returned to normal pretty quickly. However, a minor cleanup was still needed in those parks, which happened Tuesday at Mill Creek Park. Cone Grove Park was hit the hardest, flooding twice within a 12-hour period. The park lost three full-size Valley oak trees. “We have had probably six inches of mud in all of our bathrooms, and so we got hit pretty hard there,” Conner said. “The playground is pretty washed out.” County staff are cleaning that up. With the help of the probation crew, they hope to get a good start on Thursday and Friday. Conner asked for patience while that work was being done. Down branches at Cone Grove Park.

Northern Section announced the 2024 all-league teams on Tuesday afternoon and there were 15 Tehama County players on the three league teams. Seven Red Bluff Spartans were named to the all-Eastern Athletic League team, four Corning High Cardinals were named to the Butte View League team, and four players from Los Molinos made the Mid Valley League team. Eastern Athletic League Quarterback Kayden Leaf led the Spartans contingent on the team as he topped more than 1.000 yards in both passing and rushing this season to lead the team to the Northern Section championship, where it lost to Pleasant Valley 48-21. His favorite target, Landon Kunau, was also named to the all-league team. He led the Spartans in receiving, but he missed most of Saturday night’s game with an injury. His backfield mate, Zach Shaver, was also named on the team. Shaver also topped 1,000 yards and had a 30-yard touchdown run in the loss to the Vikings. Perhaps the biggest key to the Spartans’ success on offense this year was their offensive line, which had three players named to the All-League team, including sophomore

In honor of Pearl Harbor, I’d like to give this space to my grandfather. He served on the USS Oklahoma until it capsized on Dec. 7, 1941. He went on to fight in the Battle of Guadalcanal aboard the USS San Francisco. He quit Cal and returned home to run the family newspaper, The Manteca Bulletin. Here is an excerpt from his Pulitzer Prize-nominated column, published on Dec. 28, 1950. Batting the Breeze By George Murphy, Jr.   We would like to apologize to all servicemen.

No new cars, maybe? So perhaps there’s no automobile advertising. And that’s a good chunk of your revenue, isn’t it? And you’ve got big payments at the bank to meet. But how about the boys in

NEW YORK — Police searching for the suspected killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson are investigating whether the alleged shooter prepositioned an e-bike close to the scene of the incident as a means of escape, police sources told ABC News. A masked gunman carried out a “brazen, targeted attack” that was “premeditated,” NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a Wednesday news conference. The motive remains unknown, police said. The NYPD has isolated shots of the suspect from a nearby Starbucks before the shooting. Investigators believe the shooter is proficient in firearms but because of what he carried on him and his approach during the killing, they do not believe he was a hitman. Thompson, 50, was in New York City for the UnitedHealthcare investors conference, which was scheduled to start at 8 a.m. His schedule was widely known, police sources said. He was shot several times at close range outside the Hilton Hotel — where the conference was being held — at around 6:40 a.m. by the intersection of West 54th Street and Sixth Avenue.
