    AURORA, Colo. — Police in Aurora are investigating a fatal accident Wednesday involving a woman attempting to enter a vehicle.

    The accident happened around 10:30 a.m. in the 16000 block of East 7th Drive.

    Police said a man was backing his Toyota RAV4 out of the garage and he stopped in the driveway to pick up the woman as a passenger.

    As the woman was getting into the car, the driver mistook the gas pedal for the brake, causing the Toyota to accelerate and pull the woman under the vehicle, according to police.

    She was transported to the hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries. Her identity has not been released.

    Police said they don’t expect to recommend criminal charges in the case.

    The suspect, David Sumlin, 32, shot the dog near downtown L.A. on Jan. 2 after an intense verbal exchange with the dog’s owner, according to police.

    The LAPD said that Sumlin stated, “It’s either you or the dog,” before he held a pillow over the dog and shot two rounds into the puppy. Police officials arrived on the scene and transported the dog to a local animal shelter where it later died.

    “The investigation is ongoing and the suspect has not been found yet,” LAPD Officer Roman John said.

    Detectives released a photo of the suspect, whom police described as a Black man with black hair and brown eyes. He is 6 feet tall and weighs 200 pounds. Sumlin is a transient who frequents the area of 7th Street and Stanford Avenue in downtown Los Angeles, according to police. The firearm used remains outstanding. Anyone who spots Sumlin is asked to call 911.

    Long Beach firefighters worked Sunday night to extinguish a blaze that erupted at the historic Second Samoan Church near downtown.

    The fire was first reported around 6:15 p.m. at the building on 7th Street and Cedar Avenue, Long Beach Fire Capt. Jack Crabtree said.

    Firefighters arrived and encountered smoke and flames arising out of the church’s central dome. Within an hour, a crew of about 50 firefights put out the blaze.

    One firefighter suffered an unknown injury and was transported to a hospital about 7:30 p.m., Crabtree said.

    No other injuries were reported.

    The church was built in 1924 as the Second Church of Christ Scientist. The building, with its Neoclassical Revival-style, Corinthian columns and visual landmark central dome, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.

    The cause of the fire is under investigation, and the extent of the damage to the building is not immediately known.
