Slain Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick lay in honor Tuesday night in the U.S. Capitol, allowing his colleagues and the lawmakers he protected to pay their respects and to remember the violent attack on Congress that took his life. Sicknick died after defending the Capitol on Jan. 6 against the mob that stormed the building and interrupted the electoral count after then-President Donald Trump urged supporters on the National Mall to “fight like hell” to overturn his defeat. The U.S. Capitol Police said in a statement that Sicknick, who died the next day, was injured “while physically engaging with protesters,” though a final cause of death has not yet been determined. President Joe Biden traveled to the Capitol to pay tribute to Sicknick shortly after the ceremony began Tuesday night, briefly placing his hand on the urn in the center of the Capitol Rotunda, saying a prayer and sadly shaking his head as he observed a memorial wreath nearby. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and a handful of other congressional leaders also paid their respects. The arrival of Sicknick’s remains at…

Authorities are chasing vehicle across the 110 Freeway Tuesday evening, from South Los Angeles to San Pedro and back into Hollywood. Sky5 is overhead. Around 7:04 p.m., the Los Angeles Police Department started chasing a driver suspected of having a weapon, according to LAPD spokesperson Rosario Cervantes.

An explosion at an industrial park in Valencia sparked a brush fire and sent at least three people to the hospital Tuesday afternoon, officials said. The incident was initially believed to have occurred at a movie set, but officials later described it as an industrial accident involving a private business. Crews responded to initial reports of a possible explosion on the 25100 block of Rye Canyon Loop just before 4:45 p.m., according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Firefighters arrived at the scene just before 5 p.m. and reported a quarter-acre brush fire creeping uphill, officials said. Crews managed to stop the forward progress of the blaze, dubbed the Rye Fire due to its proximity to Rye Canyon Loop, around 5:20 p.m. after it grew to an acre, the Fire Department said in a tweet. Fire officials reported that three people with “critical burns” were transported to a local hospital. Aerial video from Sky5 showed the blaze occurred near a storage site. Officials later said the incident was an accident involving a private business within the Southern California Innovation Park, and not a movie…

Whether anyone will be attending the Golden Globes in person remains uncertain and improbable. But nominations to the 78th Globes will be announced Wednesday, nevertheless. Hollywood’s strange and largely virtual awards season lacks the usual kind of buzz and red-carpet glamour that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association annually feasts on. More than perhaps any other award show, the Globes depend on a cavalcade of stars — something that won’t materialize when the awards are handed out Feb. 28 in a ceremony hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. On Tuesday, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association said the Globes — typically a bubbly dinner gathering with flowing drinks — will be held bi-coastally for the first time. Fey will host live from New York’s Rainbow Room and Poehler will host from the awards’ normal home, the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. It’s expected that nominees will be appear from locations around the world. Nominations will be announced virtually at 8:35 a.m. ET Wednesday by presenters Sarah Jessica Parker and Taraji P. Henson. They will reveal 12 categories on NBC’s “Today” show, with full nominees announced live…
