Long Beach ‘suicide’ actually a murder, police say

The Long Beach Police Department is investigating after what initially appeared to be a man’s suicide on Friday was in reality a homicide. The victim, a 72-year-old man, died inside his home in the 4700 block of Greenmeadow Road, police said in a news release. When officers arrived at the home at 8:22 p.m., the man was “lying inside his residence with a gunshot wound to the upper body that appeared to be self-inflicted” and declared dead at the scene. Detectives and the Department of the Medical Examiner, however, “determined the wound was not self-inflicted.” Investigators are now working to determine a possible motive, suspected shooter and what happened in the moments leading up to the fatal attack. Anyone with information is urged to contact Detectives Eric Thai or Kelsey Myers at 562-570-7244. Anonymous tips may be submitted through Crime Stoppers by calling 800-222-TIPS (8477) or by visiting lacrimestoppers.org.

Two others were more lightly injured in the struggle that one police source said had broken out around 8:00 am as the teenagers involved were on their way to secondary school. It was not immediately clear what triggered the fight, in which weapons including the axe, a knife, a samurai sword and baseball bats were used. All the wounded people were brought to hospital and none were in danger for their life, the source added.

Who is the richest U.S. president ever?

A look at Election Day from both sides of the political spectrum A look at Election Day from both sides of the political spectrum 08:03 Some of the earliest U.S. presidents were also the wealthiest when they entered office. In the modern era, presidents historically have amassed most of their wealth through media deals and appearance fees after leaving office.  Former President Donald Trump  is among the wealthiest Americans ever to serve as president of the United States, with an estimated overall net worth of $3.7 billion at the time of his inauguration in 2016, according to Forbes. But he’s an outlier, according to presidential historian Barbara A. Perry, who noted that most “presidents after the Civil War were not wealthy business people — they didn’t come from money.” As examples, she pointed to Bill Clinton, the 42nd president, and Barack Obama (No. 44,) neither of whom came from money or had much personal wealth when they entered office.  “They came from nothing. They’re not elite,” she told CBS MoneyWatch. “They made their own way in the world through scholarly prowess and came to the

What are the swing state paths to 270 electoral votes for Harris, Trump

By Rick Klein and Ivan Pereira Tuesday, November 5, 2024 6:28PM America reaches Election Day, stark choice between Trump and Harris America reaches Election Day and a stark choice between Trump and Harris Election Day is here and former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are still in a tight race to cross the 270 electoral college threshold based on recent polling.

Registrar: Election Night Results to be Updated Hourly

Election night results from the Riverside County Office of the Registrar of Voters are slated to be posted hourly, following the first tabulation of ballots, which should be completed by 8:20 p.m., officials said Tuesday. “The initial results will encompass vote-by-mail and unscanned vote center ballots received prior to election day,” according to an agency statement. “The second tabulation, at approximately 9 p.m., will include any vote-by-mail ballots processed after 8 p.m. and any vote center ballots received before (the close of polls).” Officials said regular hourly updates are scheduled to continue until 3 a.m. Wednesday.

Selena Gomez reveals health diagnosis in response to body shamers: ‘This makes me sick’

The “Only Murders in the Building” star and Rare Beauty cosmetics founder slammed speculation about her weight on TikTok, revealing that she lives with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. She shared her revelation days after hitting the red carpet last week for the premiere of her film “Emilia Pérez” at the American French Film Festival in Hollywood. At the Oct. 29 event, the Emmy-nominated “Wizards of Waverly Place” alum posed in a black, body-hugging gown. In a since-deleted post, TikTok users reportedly observed that Gomez posed with her hands across her stomach, alleging she was hiding her body, according to TMZ. Gomez, who has previously addressed body shamers on social media, replied to the video: “This makes me sick.” Gomez, 32, responded with the revelation that she has SIBO, according to multiple screenshots shared on social media. “It flares up. I don’t care that I don’t look like a sick [sic] figure. I don’t have that body. End of story.” She added: “No I am

Former Raiders QB Jim Plunkett on HOF bid: ‘If I don’t get in, it really doesn’t upset me’

Jim Plunkett is a long shot to be among those enshrined in the 2025 Pro Football Hall of Fame, which makes sense given his path to NFL glory. Born poor with blind parents, Plunkett made it to Stanford University out of San Jose’s James Lick High only to be told by coach John Ralston he should consider playing defensive end. After weathering a cancer scare, Plunkett eventually won the Heisman Trophy as a quarterback, emblematic of the best player in college football. He engineered a 27-17 win over unbeaten No. 1 Ohio State in the Rose Bowl that is still the school’s signature moment in that sport. Plunkett was the No. 1 pick in the 1971 NFL Draft by the Patriots. Plunkett threw 19 touchdown passes as a rookie but by 1975 was beaten and battered after New England went to an option offense and was shipped to the 49ers. By 1978, Plunkett had been released because of injuries and ineffectiveness and was signed and put on ice by the Raiders. After sitting out more than two years to get healthy and recuperate, Plunkett won

Which Christmas throw pillow cover is best? Instead of switching out pillows that take up a lot of space in the closet this holiday season, consider picking up some new Christmas throw pillow covers. A pillow cover is easy to slip over the pillows you already have, and when it comes time to put them away again, they fold up nicely for easy storage. The Afirmly Christmas Blessing Throw Pillow Cover Pair is a festive set with a fun wintry pattern perfect for getting into the Christmas spirit. What to know before you buy a Christmas throw pillow cover Cover size vs. pillow size The standard square throw pillow is 18 inches or 20 inches, but the size can range from 16 to 24 inches. The dimensions for rectangular pillows are different, so be sure to check the size of your pillow against the size of the cover before purchasing.

Nearly a decade after pleading guilty, ‘Fat Leonard’ is sentenced in massive Navy bribery scandal

The Malaysian contractor known as “Fat Leonard,” who bribed dozens of high-ranking U.S. Navy officers in the service’s worst-ever corruption scandal, was sentenced Tuesday in San Diego federal court to 15 years in prison. Leonard Glenn Francis, 60, will likely spend about 8½ more years in federal prison when accounting for the credit he’ll receive from the time he has already been held in custody. He could serve even less if he qualifies for early release, though his attorney warned the judge that a lengthy prison term would be “essentially a death sentence” for Francis, who has dealt with severe health issues. U.S. District Judge Janis Sammartino also indicated she would order Francis to pay $20 million in restitution to the Navy on top of the $35 million he was previously ordered to forfeit as part of his plea agreement. Additionally, she ordered Francis’ Singapore-based company, Glenn Defense Marine Asia, to pay a $36 million fine. Francis, who has only ever said a handful of words in open court, somberly addressed the judge and asked for mercy so he could be reunited with his children.
