A shooting suspect is dead after an hours-long SWAT standoff in Tarzana Saturday. Police responded to reports of a man firing shots near Victory Boulevard and Sylvia Avenue at around 2 p.m., according to the Los Angeles Police Department. The armed suspect later barricaded himself inside a home on the 19200 block of Victory Boulevard, prompting police to evacuate nearby residents in the area. SWAT Team members and police created a perimeter around the house as the man remained barricaded inside.  Negotiators spoke with the suspect on the phone, attempting to convince him to come outside.  However, after several conversations, police said the man hung up the phone and refused to cooperate. At one point, the suspect’s partner reportedly called police to tell them he was armed with a gun and had fired shots inside their home.

In a minor league ballpark where home runs don’t come often for high school players, Sam Burgess of Corona electrified the crowd during the Southern Section Division 1 championship game Saturday night by hitting a three-run home run over the right-field wall in the fourth inning against Harvard-Westlake ace Duncan Marsten, sending the Panthers to a 5-0 victory at Lake Elsinore’s Diamond Stadium. It was Corona’s sixth home run in five playoff games, with each one providing a decisive moment to help the Panthers (30-3) become the first No. 1 seed since Camarillo in 2002 to win the Division 1 title. Burgess, a Texas Christian commit, came to the plate after Josh Springer was hit by a pitch and Billy Carlson reached base on an infield single. From the moment he swung, Burgess sensed the ball would leave the field. It was a changeup left over the middle of the plate. Marsten and Corona’s Ethan Schiefelbein had been engaged in the expected pitching duel, with neither budging until Burgess came through. Given a three-run lead, the left-handed Schiefelbein, who has committed to UCLA, showed his

Employees who wear costumes at Disneyland have voted to unionize with the Actors’ Equity Association. There are 1,700 employees who were eligible to take part in the voting. The 50% required for Equity to become the bargaining agent for the workers was easily surpassed, with 79% of the employees voting yes. According to Actors’ Equity, 953 voted in favor of unionizing, while 258 voted against the move on Saturday. “They say that Disneyland is ‘the place where dreams come true,’ and for the Disney Cast Members who have worked to organize a union, their dream came true today,” Actors’ Equity Association President Kate Shindle said in a statement. “These workers are on the front lines of the Guest experience; they’re the human beings who create lifelong memories when your kids hug a character, or when your family watches a parade roll by the castle,’ Shindle added. “The next step will be to collaborate with them about improving health & safety, wages, benefits, working conditions and job security. After that we will meet with representatives of the Walt Disney Company to negotiate those priorities into a

This wasn’t quite vintage Walker Buehler, the supremely confident right-hander who could bully his way out of jams with an overpowering fastball and was the Dodgers’ best playoff pitcher from 2019-2021, but it was a huge step in that direction. A bit wobbly in his first two games in his return from a second Tommy John surgery, Buehler found his footing in his third start Saturday night, allowing three hits over six scoreless innings, striking out seven and walking none in a 4-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds before a crowd of 49,239 in Dodger Stadium. Manager Dave Roberts said before the game that Buehler, who was tagged for six earned runs and 11 hits, including three home runs, in 7 ⅓ innings of his first two starts against Miami and San Diego, needed to improve the command of all his pitches. Buehler threw 55 of his 78 pitches for strikes and threw first-pitch strikes to 16 of 21 batters. He induced only five swinging strikes, an indication that he hasn’t recaptured his dominant form after going almost 23 months between big-league starts, but he
