A man was arrested Saturday night after allegedly shooting multiple rounds of gunfire from the top of a Marina del Rey apartment building, scaring neighbors and drawing a large emergency response, authorities said. No one was injured as a result of the heavy gunfire, which was sprayed down on the streets along the 4100 block of Via Marina, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. An arrest was made after 911 calls came in after 10 p.m. about relentless gunfire in the affluent seaside Los Angeles neighborhood. The suspect — whose name has not been released — is in custody, and an investigation is ongoing, according to the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department. A livestream of the incident appeared to be posted by the shooter, according to City News Service. Those videos appear to have been removed from the internet. An L.A. County Sheriff’s Department helicopter observed a male suspect on the roof of an apartment complex “firing rounds from a rifle,” according to a news release. Armored SWAT-style vehicles responded to the active shooter scene and closed down streets in the Via Marina area
Governor Gavin Newsom’s request for a Presidential Major Disaster Declaration has been approved by President Joe Biden, providing aid to nine California counties following February’s storms. Announced Sunday by the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, the declaration will support recovery efforts after the storms brought widespread flooding and mudslides to the state. The counties receiving aid include Butte, Glenn, Los Angeles, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, Sutter and Ventura. “This declaration brings in more resources for local communities across the state recovering from the widespread impacts of these storms,” Gov. Newsom said. Firefighters look over damage from a large mudslide which occurred at the intersection of Beverly Drive and Beverly Place in the Beverly Crest area of Los Angeles on Monday, February 5, 2024.

FEMA estimated that the damage in L.A. County alone was worth nearly $53 million. Newsom cited the seven-inches of rainfall in downtown Los Angeles between Feb. 4
The United States now has a record number of cities where the “typical” home is worth $1 million or more, indicating a continued surge in housing costs, according to a new Zillow report. In February, the nation boasted 550 “million-dollar” cities where the median home value was north of seven figures, up from 491 a year ago, the analysis shows. California had the most cities with homes valued over $1 million with 210; of the 210, three were in the Bay Area (Atherton, Los Altos Hills, Hillsborough) and one was in SoCal (Hidden Hills). New York had 66 “million-dollar” cities, while New Jersey — which experienced the largest year-over-year increase — finished with 49. Zillow noted that limited housing inventory keeps pushing home values up, and according to the National Association of Realtors, prices are expected to remain elevated this spring.

As a new magazine profile of Jewell attests, the singer-songwriter continues to keep people guessing — these days about her rumored romance with Kevin Costner, her upcoming “immersive art experience” in Arkansas and the nasty-looking cut on her right index finger, which she displayed in two recent TikTok videos. In one of those TIkTok videos, Jewell asked her fans to guess what “shenanigans” she has been up to and how she got the cut on her finger, offering a $100 reward for whoever guessed correctly. A couple of fans good-naturedly alluded to reports that she has been dating “Yellowstone” star Costner, with one saying the cut probably was caused by “Kevin Costner eating an apple with his pocket knife on your front porch when you got a little too close!” Another teased, “Kevin Costner wrangled ya!” LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – FEBRUARY 04: Kevin Costner speaks onstage during the Pre-GRAMMY Gala & GRAMMY Salute to Industry Icons Honoring Julie Greenwald and Craig Kallman on February 04, 2023 in Los Angeles, California.

SANTA CLARA – Brandon AIyuk’s agent suashed a report claiming that the 49ers’ leading receiver is seeking a trade. “You need better sources,” Ryan Williams of Athletes First wrote Sunday morning on Twitter/X, in response to a tweet from self-proclaimed NFL insider John Frascella who wrote that Aiyuk “officially” requested a trade. Aiyuk, after back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, is entering the final year of his rookie contract. He is slated to make $14.1 million on a fifth-year option. A contract extension is expected to be hammered out by training camp, just as the 49ers have done in recent years for other homegrown stars, including George Kittle, Fred Warner, Deebo Samuel and Nick Bosa. The 49ers’ brass — owner Jed York, coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch – all insisted at last month’s league meeting in Florida the 49ers plan to reward Aiyuk and keep him long term. Taking a page out of the contract-negotiation playbook from other players, Aiyuk no longer follows the 49ers on Instagram – but he still does on Twitter/X. Neither Aiyuk nor Williams immediately responded to messages from this news

On March 20th, the Environmental Protection Agency released finalized tailpipe emission standards that will govern the auto industry from 2027 to 2032. The skillfully crafted regulations balance the interests of many stakeholders and constitute a major achievement of the Biden Administration. The EPA intends to aggressively steer road transportation away from fossil fuels while acknowledging the fact that the auto industry cannot turn on a dime. The historic regulations will reduce tailpipe carbon dioxide targets for newly sold fleets by a whopping 50%, but stringency increases will be relaxed during the first years of the program to give automakers adequate time to electrify their line-ups. The EPA’s original proposal, published in April of 2023, was praised by environmentalists but opposed by the Alliance for Automotive Innovation (AAI), a powerful lobbying group that represents the interests of major full-line automakers. The stringency of the tentative proposal was calibrated with an optimistic assumption that two thirds of newly sold light duty vehicles could be battery electric vehicles (BEVs) by 2032. The AAI was quick to point out that the proposal’s rapidly increasing stringency levels set a blistering
By ZEKE MILLER (AP White House Correspondent) WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden convened the Group of Seven advanced democracies on Sunday to coordinate a rebuke to Iran for its unprecedented and largely unsuccessful aerial attack on Israel and to prevent a wider regional escalation. The United States assisted Israel in shooting down dozens of drones and missiles fired by Tehran in what was the first time that Iran has launched a direct military assault on Israel. Israeli authorities said 99% of the inbound weapons were shot down without causing any significant damage. “At my direction, to support the defense of Israel, the U.S. military moved aircraft and ballistic missile defense destroyers to the region over the course of the past week,” Biden said in a statement late Saturday. “Thanks to these deployments and the extraordinary skill of our servicemembers, we helped Israel take down nearly all of the incoming drones and missiles.” Biden, in a call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that night, urged that Israel claim victory for its defense prowess as the president aimed to dissuade America’s closest Mideast ally from
TEL AVIV, Israel — Israel praised the success of its defenses in the face of an unprecedented attack by Iran involving hundreds of drones, ballistic missiles and cruise missiles while tensions ran high over a possible Israeli counter-strike. An Israeli military spokesman said Sunday the launches numbered more than 300, but 99% of them were intercepted. Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said Iran fired 170 drones, more than 30 cruise missiles and more than 120 ballistic missiles. Several ballistic missiles reached Israeli territory, causing minor damage to an air base. The Iranian attack on Saturday, less than two weeks after a suspected Israeli strike in Syria that killed two Iranian generals in an Iranian consular building, marked the first time Iran has launched a direct military assault on Israel, despite decades of enmity dating back to the country’s 1979 Islamic Revolution. Israel and Iran have been on a collision course throughout Israel’s six-month war against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip. The war erupted after Hamas and Islamic Jihad, two militant groups backed by Iran, carried out a devastating cross-border attack on Oct. 7 that killed
