A 32-year-old man is facing the possibility of life in prison after he reportedly shot a man in the back of the head with a pellet gun, officials announced Thursday. Prosecutors, in a press release from the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, say Joshua Steven Morales was charged with one count of attempted murder after he fired on the victim as he was pumping gas at a Speedway gas station in Chatsworth. The incident unfolded on Aug. 20 around 6:30 a.m., authorities said. Authorities added that the victim, who was treated for non-life-threatening injuries, did not know Morales. “Our thoughts are with the victim and his family following this senseless and tragic incident,” said District Attorney Gascón. “No one should ever have to worry about being randomly attacked while simply going about their daily lives. This cowardly act of violence is shocking and unacceptable. Our office is committed to working tirelessly to ensure that justice is served for the victim and his loved ones.” VIDEO: Woman in Southern California goes on violent rampage against firefighter, police Prosecutors requested that the

OAKLEY — The Oakley City Council has canceled two races on the November ballot, instead choosing to appoint two incumbents after no one else qualified to challenge them for the seats. Councilmember Aaron Meadows in District 1 and Mayor Anissa Williams representing District 3 were the only ones to make the Nov. 5 ballot, while three have in District 5. On Wednesday, the council voted 2-1, with councilmember George Fuller voting no, to appoint Meadows and Williams, effectively re-electing them and ending those races. Meadows and Williams did not take part in the vote. The move saves the city roughly between $28,462 and $45,540 in election costs. Those figures are based on the city’s estimated cost of between $2.50 and $4 per registered voter and the number of voters in District 1 and District 3. Fuller said that the city ought to continue with the election, giving an opportunity for write-in candidates. “People should also have the ability to petition for a write-in candidate, so I would vote to keep the election,” Fuller said. According to City Clerk Libby Vreonis, the city was not contacted by anyone interested
By Michael Wagaman The Associated Press OAKLAND — Osvaldo Bido struck out six in five innings and won his third straight start, leading the Oakland Athletics to a 3-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday. Lawrence Butler, Miguel Andujar and Darell Hernaiz had two hits apiece to help Oakland split the four-game series. Bido (5-3) has been one of the A’s top pitchers over the last two months and stepped up again against the Rays. He allowed one run and two hits while matching the longest winning streak by an A’s starting pitcher this season. JP Sears and Mitch Spence have also won three consecutive starts. “He has been on a good run and he seems to be getting more confident,” A’s manager Mark Kotsay said, noting that Bido has been working on mechanical changes to his delivery. “I tip my cap to Bido for making those adjustments and being able to repeat them. I think that’s why we’re seeing the success we are.” After walking two of the first three hitters he faced, Bido retired nine straight and extended his scoreless streak
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Scientists have discovered more information about the rare oarfish (Regalecus russellii) that was found dead floating near La Jolla Shores earlier this month. A necropsy was performed Friday revealing that “the fish was in good condition and it is not clear why the fish died,” the University of California, San Diego said in a news release Thursday. “This male did not have visible signs of milt (sperm) and scientists have previously found that oarfish locally are reproducing in June, but not August and September,” the university said. Scientists determined the deep-sea fish was an adult male measuring 12.24 feet in length, 1.14 feet in depth and weighing 74.3 pounds. Its dorsal fin crest measured 2.17 feet in length, extended from the top of the head. Oarfish, known as the longest bony fish in the world, can grow to lengths of 30 feet. On Aug. 10, a team of science kayakers and snorkelers came across the fish in La Jolla Cove and worked together to carry the sea creature from the ocean to the bed of a truck using a paddleboard. The
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Cell phone bans in classrooms are starting to pop up in more public school systems. In San Diego County, the Carlsbad Unified School District implemented a cell phone ban at the start of their school year Wednesday. “At the elementary and middle school levels, no mobile communication device during the school day from the time they get to school until the time they leave. At the high school level, it’s no devices being used during instructional time, so they are able to use them during breaks and lunch but not during class time,” Carlsbad Unified School District Superintendent Ben Churchill said. The district went back to class Wednesday, and Churchill said teachers are already noticing a big difference with the new policy in place. He said the discretion of how the policy will be implemented is left up to the principals and teachers at each school site, but the general rules above must be followed. “Some teachers have implemented little cubby systems where they can drop them off at the door. Others are saying put the in your backpack I

After losing its California operating license last year over safety concerns, the autonomous vehicle company Cruise will soon partner with Uber to offer driverless transportation through the popular ride-hail app. Cruise and Uber announced a multiyear partnership that will begin in 2025 and allow Uber customers to select a driverless Cruise vehicle for qualified trips. The partnership will begin in a single, unspecified city and will rely on Chevy Bolt-based autonomous vehicles. Cruise idled its entire fleet in October after California regulators revoked the company’s license to provide driverless rides, alleging that the company mishandled a safety incident in which a pedestrian was struck and dragged by a Cruise vehicle in San Francisco. The pedestrian, who was in the street after being struck by a car with a driver, was pinned under a Cruise vehicle and sent to the hospital with injuries. In 2018, a self-driving vehicle from Uber hit and killed a pedestrian in Arizona, causing the company to halt its driverless program in several cities. Driverless Cruise vehicles remain banned in California, but autonomous cars operated by the Google spinoff Waymo are serving
Busy bees — jonesing for water, including from sweaty park visitors — have shut down parts of Joshua Tree National Park, park officials said. The Cottonwood visitor center, parking area, restrooms and campground were closed Tuesday, the park announced on Instagram, because of increased bee activity. The closures were still in effect Thursday afternoon. “In the summer, water becomes scarce and bees seek water sources just like our other park wildlife,” the post said. “However, this can include condensation from air conditioners, visitor sweat and bathrooms.” The closure will reduce the amount of water available in the area and give the bees an opportunity to leave, the National Park Service said. In a looped video from the Instagram post, a group of bees huddles around water dripping from a car’s undercarriage. Another video shows dozens of bees flying underneath a white truck. One Instagram commenter wrote that she’d never been stung by a bee until last week at Joshua Tree. She said she was attacked by a group of bees drinking her sweat: “I understand why you’d have to close entire areas. … Just relentless!”
A company specializing in medical equipment sterilization will pay a $587,800 penalty to the South Coast Air Quality Management District to settle a series of violations resulting from the emission of excessive levels of a cancer-causing gas at its facilities in Vernon and Ontario, according to the AQMD. South Coast AQMD officials designated Sterigenics facilities as “potentially high risk” two years ago after air quality monitors in the area showed high amounts of a carcinogen called ethylene oxide. Long-term exposure to the flammable and colorless gas, which is used in the sterilization process at the facilities, can lead to an increased risk of lymphoid and breast cancers. Under California law, a facility can be designated “potentially high risk” if emissions could exceed a “cancer risk threshold greater than 100 chances in a million.” The AQMD’s initial data in 2022 indicated workers at Sterigenics in Vernon and those at adjacent facilities could have a cancer risk as much as 20 times higher. The concentrations of ethylene oxide detected near Sterigenics dropped off significantly within a few hundred feet of the facility and were “within background levels”

CBS News Live CBS News 24/7 Live Washington — Vice President Kamala Harris is poised to officially accept the Democratic presidential nomination Thursday and will frame the upcoming election as an opportunity for the nation to “chart a new way forward.” Harris will deliver remarks to close out the final day of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, during which she’s expected to share her life story about being raised by a single mother in California and about what motivated her to become a prosecutor. “With this election, our nation has a precious, fleeting opportunity to move past the bitterness, cynicism and divisive battles of the past,” she’ll say, according to excerpts of her speech. “A chance to chart a new way forward, not as members of any one party or faction, but as Americans.” Harris’ acceptance speech caps not only the four-day convention, but a whirlwind first four weeks of her presidential campaign, which launched after President Biden announced he would be ending his bid for reelection. Harris quickly announced her own White House run and earned endorsements from Mr. Biden, the Obamas, the

Three juveniles accused of stealing items from Colorado’s locker room at the Rose Bowl during a football game against UCLA last October are facing felony charges after the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office decided to pursue the case. The juveniles — a 16-year-old from Beaumont, a 15-year-old from Banning and a 16-year-old from Banning — each face five felony counts of grant theft and one misdemeanor count of petty theft after allegedly taking jewelry, headphones and cash. Some of the items have been returned to the Colorado players. After an investigation by the Pasadena Police Department led to the identification and arrest of the three juveniles, they were cited and released into the care of a parent or guardian. None are in custody at this time, according to Lt. Monica Cuellar of the Pasadena Police Department. The district attorney’s office filed charges against the suspects late last month after being presented the case from Pasadena police via the Los Angeles County Probation Office. In November, Colorado coach Deion Sanders pleaded for leniency toward the suspects. “Let’s make sure those kids atone for what transpired
Joey Bosa did not participate much during training camp because of a wrist/hand injury. (Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times) The Chargers have spent much of the preseason without two of their defensive cornerstones, All-Pro safety Derwin James Jr. and four-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Joey Bosa, but a return is on the horizon for both. The expectation is that both will be ready for the season opener on Sept. 8 against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to coach Jim Harbaugh. Although Harbaugh didn’t go into detail about the injuries James and Bosa have been dealing with — offering only his usual “working through something” line — he did mention the training staff expects both to be available to start the season. Bosa, absent since leaving the joint practice with the Rams on Aug. 4 because of an apparent hand/wrist injury, was working off to the side Thursday during practice.
