911 calls capture terror during Chino Hills house explosion

[ad_1]

Terror and panic were captured in the 911 calls when a house exploded in Chino Hills earlier this month, according to the audio clips exclusively obtained by NBC Los Angeles Monday.

A total of eight people, including children, inside the home were injured after a gas leak caused the explosion on the house on Sierra Vista Drive on Sunday, Nov. 16.

“There’s people screaming. The roof is blown up. I think there was like a gas leak or something,” one caller said while speaking with a 911 dispatcher.

Another person called to report “a lot of people” were injured.

“It’s just gone. It’s just lifted up,” the caller said about the exploded house.

A neighbor also called to urge first responders to rush to the scene.

“They’re saying a few people are inside (the house.) They’re saying the baby’s inside, and one of their brothers is inside,” the caller said.

More calls were made to 911, describing the harrowing scene.

“There’s one girl laying on the ground,” another caller said.

At least 16 homes nearby were evacuated as a precaution following the blast. Investigators said the powerful blast spread debris in front of the home as well as across the street.

A fundraising page said the house belonged to the Soleto family, adding that the explosion happened when the family got home, and one of the children turned on the lamp.

The post also said two of the injured people had to be intubated.

Slain sheriff’s deputy embraced life, realized dream of patrolling Rancho Cucamonga

[ad_1]

Sobs. Deep breaths. Tears.

Mourners exhibiting their depth of feeling struggled at times to pay tribute during the funeral service on Tuesday, Nov. 18, for San Bernardino County sheriff’s Deputy Andrew Nunez, who was slain as he arrived at a home in Rancho Cucamonga on Oct. 27 in an attempt to rescue a woman who authorities say was being forced into a car at gunpoint by her ex-husband.

Nunez, 28, had been a deputy for six years when a man identified as Angelo Jose Saldivar hid behind a building and fired a single shot when Nunez got out of his patrol car on Hollyhock Drive. Saldivar fled on a motorcycle and was arrested after a deputy used his car to knock over Saldivar’s bike as it sped away on the 210 Freeway in Upland. Saldivar has pleaded not guilty to murder, attempted kidnapping and other charges.

“There was a victim in distress, and Andrew got to her as soon as possible,” sheriff’s Capt. Mike Smith, who was Nunez’s commander at the Rancho Cucamonga station, said at the Toyota Arena in Ontario. “He ran toward danger to protect a victim he did not know. His life was taken by the senseless act of a coward.”

Nunez is survived by his wife, 2-year-old daughter and an unborn daughter.

The stage was adorned with photographs and flowers. An honor guard stood watch beside the casket draped with an American flag.

Nunez’s mother, Yolanda, described her son as having strong convictions, fearless, impulsive, “stubborn at times, yes … ready to embrace life with both hands. He always looked out for me, that I was loved, that I was OK.”

A supporter rubbed Nunez’s arm as she spoke through her tears.

“He loved praying. He loved playing golf …

“I can’t … Nunez said, unable to continue.

The supporter took over Nunez’s eulogy.

“I will forever carry the honor of having loved him and the even bigger honor of having been loved by him,” she said.

Nunez’s wife, Roxana, wore dark glasses as she spoke inside the 11,000-seat arena that hosted law enforcement officers from Southern California and beyond.

“He was an incredible father and loving partner,” she said. “He was ambitious and fearless, always pushing himself. But he had the softest heart when it came to our family.”

She inhaled deeply.

“He was proud to stand beside all of you,” Nunez’s wife said. “He made things lighter, he made things better. And if he were here now, he’d be laughing at us for crying. … I love you, baby.”

Andrew Nunez grew up without a strong father figure in his life, Roxana Nunez said, so as the eldest child in the family, he pushed his four siblings to “never give up and be strong. As he got older, he learned to step back a bit, but he never truly left. He was always there on the sideline, ready to help.”

When it came to sports, Nunez was rarely on the sideline. He played football, basketball and soccer, and he was a member of the football team at Los Osos High in Rancho Cucamonga, Deputy Chief Ernie Perez said. And Nunez was a fan of the Lakers and Dodgers.

“Especially the Dodgers,” Perez said.

Nunez dreamed early on of becoming a sheriff’s deputy and patrolling Rancho Cucamonga, where he attended church at the time of his death. He told anybody who’d listen, including co-workers at a cellular company.

“Andrew’s friend told me he talked too much to customers and he talked himself right out of sales,” Capt. Smith said, adding that Nunez made sure to tell his bosses when he exceeded sales goals.

Nunez graduated from the sheriff’s academy in September 2019 and worked in the jails and in transportation before getting the call to realize his dream by reporting to the Rancho Cucamonga station for patrol duty almost three years ago. Most recently, he was assigned to the theft detail at Victoria Gardens, where he kept his partners entertained with his witticisms and good-natured sarcasm, Smith said.

Nunez was training harder and eating healthier foods as he sought a coveted position on the SWAT team.

“I have no doubt you were going to be a member of the SWAT team,” Smith said.

Sheriff Shannon Dicus remembered Nunez as “a servant, a guardian and a protector.”

“To Andrew, it didn’t matter that they were strangers. What mattered was that it was his duty as a peace officer and most of all, it was his duty to his lord and savior, Jesus Christ. He established a legacy of service that will echo far beyond this moment in the hearts of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.”

A colleague and friend, Sgt. David Rayenhartz, said he would counsel Nunez on how to improve his work, and he did. Rayenhartz exhorted Nunez to exceed the sergeant’s accomplishments and said Nunez did, as a father, husband and cop.

Rayenhartz paused a few times to compose himself.

“He was simply Andrew … he was like a son,” Rayenhartz said.

Toward the end of the two-hour ceremony, a video showed images of Nunez with family and friends at various stages of his life. It concluded with his eldest daughter pulling a photo of her father, in his deputy’s uniform, off a table. She placed it on the floor and kissed it.

“Daddy!” she exclaimed.

Flood and snow advisories in place as another storm hits Southern California

[ad_1]

After an atmospheric river brought mudslides, debris flows, toppled trees and flooding to Southern California over the weekend, another colder storm began hitting the region on Monday. Weather officials in response issued flood and snow advisories for parts of the region urging people to stay safe.

Besides the advisories, a flash flood warning was in place for parts of northern LA County until 9 p.m. Monday including Pasadena, Altadena, Pacoima, Sun Valley, Monrovia and Azusa.

A “pretty notable” atmospheric river landed over the region this weekend, along with some damage, bringing one to six inches of rain across Southern California, according to meteorologists with the National Weather Service.

“For November standards, it’s not too common for us to get an atmospheric river of the potency that we got. Usually, it’s more common that we would receive an atmospheric river that would give us a few inches of rain anywhere between December and March,” said NWS Meteorologist Sebastian Westerink.

Usually Southern California receives about an inch of rain by this point in the year. Rain levels are currently above average, according to Westerink. The amount of rain SoCal has received at this point in the fall ranges from over an inch up to five inches of rain.

Despite flood advisories issued Monday, many areas saw only light rain, but enough to dampen streets heading into the afternoon commute.

Forecasters said the rain would continue to fall into late Monday night, “with decreasing showers continuing into Tuesday.”

“Behind the front (Monday night) and Tuesday, an unstable and showery pattern will prevail as the upper low drops southward,” according to the NWS. “By Tuesday evening, rainfall totals with this system are expected to range from half an inch to one inch for coastal/valley areas with one to two inches for the foothills and mountains.

Rainfall rates through Tuesday are expected to generally be under half an inch per hour and will generate nuisance flooding across the area. But forecasters warned that isolated pockets could see rain rates of about an inch per hour, which could trigger more serious flooding and debris flows. A dusting of snow was also possible along the Grapevine stretch of Interstate 5 on Tuesday morning.

“Along with the rain and snow, thunderstorms will be a risk … through Tuesday. As the upper low drops southward today, a cold and unstable air mass will bring a threat of thunderstorms to all areas. On Tuesday, the threat of thunderstorms looks to be confined to LA county as well as interior sections of Ventura and Santa Barbara counties,” the NWS said.

The storm system was expected to be out of the area by late Tuesday, with the area getting a respite from the rain on Wednesday. But another storm system was expected to arrive in the Los Angeles area by Thursday afternoon.

Forecasters said that system could drop another quarter- to three-quarters of an inch of rain.

The National Weather Service also issued a Winter Weather advisory on Monday afternoon for the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains that will be in effect until 10 p.m. on Tuesday. Two to five inches of snow is expected to fall at elevations above 6,000 feet. Areas around 5,500 feet elevation could also see some powder. The affected towns include Running Springs, Big Bear and Wrightwood. Drivers were advised to proceed with caution.

Prosecution, defense disagree on sentence for Jake Haro in death of 7-month-old Emmanuel

[ad_1]

The Riverside County District Attorney’s Office will seek a minimum 31-year sentence for Cabazon resident Jake Haro when he is sentenced Monday, Nov. 3, for murdering his 7-month-old son Emmanuel, while the Public Defender’s Office will argue for a term of 15 years to life, court documents filed Friday show.

Haro, 32, on Oct. 16 pleaded guilty at the Riverside Hall of Justice to second-degree murder, assault on a child under 8 causing death and filing a false police report.

“There is nothing in the law or before this court that should lead a sentencing judge to believe that this man deserves anything but the maximum sentence allowed by law,” Assistant District Attorney Brandon Smith wrote.

Emmanuel remained missing on Friday. District Attorney Mike Hestrin has previously said that Emmanuel died from prolonged abuse.

Second-degree murder carries a sentence of 15 years to life. The term for a child assault conviction is 25 years to life. The DA’s Office said that the murder and assault were part of the same act. Under California law, a defendant can be sentenced on only one charge if one act resulted in convictions on multiple charges.

Typically, a judge will sentence the defendant on the count that carries the longest prison sentence. But Superior Court Judge Gary Polk is not bound by that practice.

Smith proposed in his filing on Friday that Haro first be sentenced to six years for violating his probation.

Haro had pleaded guilty to the court in 2023 to child abuse causing great bodily injury after he and his wife abused their 10-week-old daughter, Carolina, in 2018 to the point where she cannot use her arms and legs and has cerebral palsy, Smith wrote. Haro was ordered to serve 180 days in custody, and a six-year prison term was suspended as long as Haro did not break more laws. But on the same day Haro admitted killing Emmanuel, he pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of ammunition.

After Haro finishes that six-year term, Smith wrote, he should begin serving a sentence of 25 years to life for assaulting Emmanuel. A one-year sentence for a misdemeanor count of filing a false police report — Haro and wife Rebecca claimed that Emmanuel had been kidnapped — should run at the same time, Smith wrote.

“Jake Haro murdered seven-month-old Emmanuel, but in reality, he comes before the court having taken the lives of two young children,” Smith wrote. “If there are lower forms of evil in this world, I am not aware of them.”

Deputy Public Defender Allison Lowe, in a document also filed Friday, said Haro should receive credit for admitting his guilt and doing so at an early stage of the case. Because of that, Lowe wrote, Polk should sentence him on the lighter of the two felonies, the murder charge that carries a penalty of 15 years to life.

Lowe added that Haro does not have the ability to pay fines or fees.

“Prior to his arrest, Mr. Haro was not working and was on disability,” Lowe wrote.

Rebecca Haro, 41, is also due in court on Monday. Court records show that her attorney, Jeff Moore, plans to object to the judge’s order that made private a document related to a so-called Perkins operation in which a suspect is placed in a jail cell with an inmate who, being paid by law enforcement, attempts to elicit a confession.

No one has revealed which of the Haros was involved in that ruse.

Rebecca Haro has pleaded not guilty to the same charges to which her husband admitted.

The case has garnered national attention, with local residents building a makeshift memorial to the baby outside his home and going on impromptu, hopeful ground searches. Others, fluent in social media, have devoted hours of coverage to the case, in some instances breaking news ahead of the mainstream media but in others creating a burden for detectives who authorities said have had to devote time to investigating ultimately false claims.

SoCal deputy dies after being shot by gunman who led police on high-speed motorcycle chase

[ad_1]

UPLAND, Calif. — A wild motorcycle chase ended in a violent crash on a Southern California freeway on Monday afternoon after the suspect tried to flee at extraordinary speeds following a sheriff’s deputy’s shooting death.

Warning: Some viewers may find the video above disturbing or difficult to watch

It all started when San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputies reportedly responded to the area for a domestic violence call about an armed man threatening a woman in Rancho Cucamonga.

The deputies were fired upon as soon as they arrived at the scene, the sheriff’s department said. Deputy Andrew Nunez suffered a single gunshot wound to the head.

Nunez was rushed to the hospital and ultimately pronounced dead, the sheriff’s department confirmed.

The suspect then hopped on a motorcycle and a high-speed police chase ensued on the 210 Freeway.

After the suspect opened fire, he hopped on a motorcycle, sparking a high-speed chase that ended in a major crash on the 210 Freeway, officials confirmed.

All eastbound lanes were shut down and a SigAlert was issued between Mountain and Campus avenues.

AIR7 video from our sister station, ABC7 Eyewitness News in Los Angeles, showed traffic backed up for miles as the traffic was at a standstill during peak rush hour traffic at 3 p.m. local time.

A wild motorcycle chase ended in a violent crash on the 210 Freeway in Ontario Monday afternoon.

Traffic was being diverted off of Mountain Avenue. There is major police presence at the scene as the investigation is underway.

The suspect appeared to pull out a gun and waved it as he was driving down the freeway at high speeds of 150 mph.

The chase ended in Upland after an off-duty sheriff’s deputy conducted a “legal intervention” and hit the suspect’s motorcycle.

Investigators were seen inspecting what appeared to be a gun on the 210 Freeway after the dramatic collision.

Investigators inspect what appears to be a gun on the 210 Freeway in Ontario, where a chase ended in a violent crash on Monday, Oct. 27, 2025.

During an afternoon press conference, Sheriff Shannon Dicus confirmed that an off-duty sheriff’s deputy conducted a “legal intervention” by striking the suspect on the motorcycle.

That’s when the suspect was launched into the air and landed on the road.

Officers quickly ran out of their patrol cars and rushed to handcuff him.

The suspect was sitting up and conscious as authorities rendered aid. He was airlifted to an area hospital in stable condition.

Authorities are working to forensically positively identify the suspect and are waiting to interview him.

The suspect’s name was not immediately released.

Video from the hospital Nunez was taken to shows law enforcement officers gathered outside the emergency room. An Eyewitness News crew at the scene also spotted what appeared to be family members arriving at the hospital.

Sheriff Shannon Dicus said Nunez leaves behind a wife, a 2-year-old daughter, a mother and four brothers and sisters. His wife was also expecting, the sheriff said.

Dicus said Nunez had been with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department for six years and served the Rancho Cucamonga community for five years. He described Nunez as a “wonderful father” and “wonderful deputy sheriff.”

California Governor Gavin Newsom issued a statement on the death of Deputy Nunez.

“On behalf of all Californians, Jennifer and I extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Deputy Nunez. His courage, compassion and dedication to protecting others reflect the finest traditions of law enforcement. We honor his life and service with gratitude; may his sacrifice never be forgotten.”

Newsom’s office said flags at the State Capitol and Capitol Annex Swing Space will be flown at half-staff.

Former Cal State San Bernardino administrator awarded $6 million for gender discrimination

[ad_1]

A Los Angeles jury has awarded $6 million to a former Cal State San Bernardino administrator who alleged she was subjected to “severe or pervasive” gender harassment that her attorneys claim is systemic across the Cal State system.

Attorney Courtney Abrams, who represented Anissa Rogers, the former associate dean at Cal State San Bernardino’s Palm Desert campus, said in a statement that the jury award Monday, Oct. 20, represented “a resounding rejection of CSU’s long-running denials of gender bias within its ranks.”

“Dr. Rogers stood up not only for herself, but also the other women who have been subjected to gender-based double-standards within the Cal State system,” Abrams said following the three-week trial before Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Maurice Leiter.

Problem ‘systemic’

Rogers and Clare Weber, the former vice provost at the Palm Desert campus, sued Cal State San Bernardino President Tomas Morales, Jake Zhu, the former dean of the Palm Desert campus, and the Board of Trustees of the California State University system, which comprises 23 campuses statewide and is the largest four-year public university system in the United States, employing nearly 56,000 faculty and staff.

DAVID BAUMAN — STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Cal State San Bernardino President Tomas Morales, on Wednesday, Mar. 16, 2016.

The lawsuit, filed in March 2023, alleged a pattern and practice of discrimination and sexual harassment against female employees in the CSU system in violation of the state’s Equal Pay Act. Rogers and Weber claim they were either forced to resign or fired for speaking out against mistreatment of and pay disparity for female employees.

“This case exposed what women inside Cal State have been saying for years: the mistreatment of women within the Cal State system is not just a series of one-off incidents; the problem is systemic and structural,” said Andrew Friedman of Helmer Friedman, an attorney who represented Rogers in the lawsuit.

In an email Tuesday, Oct. 21, CSUSB spokesman Alan Llavore said: “We were disappointed by the verdict reached by the jury (Monday) morning, and we will be reviewing our options to assess next steps.” He declined further comment.

Officials at the California State University Office of the Chancellor in Long Beach also declined to comment.

Forced out

Rogers, who was hired as associate dean at the Palm Desert campus in August 2019, alleged in the lawsuit that on Oct. 15, 2021, she fielded multiple complaints from female employees who attended a “coffee with the dean” meeting Zhu hosted in which two male department heads berated a female administrator for about a half-hour. Zhu allegedly witnessed the conduct but did nothing.

Rogers confronted Zhu about what happened the same day after hearing about it from the other employees who attended the meeting. Zhu, according to the lawsuit, subsequently targeted Rogers for termination, pretextually complaining about vacation time she took and for attending an event at her daughter’s college that he initially approved.

On Jan. 1, 2022, Rogers, according to the lawsuit, was “constructively terminated” when she was forced to resign her position.

Evidence presented at trial showed that in addition to Rogers, several other current and former CSUSB employees brought forth complaints that Zhu treated women worse than men, but neither the university’s human resources department nor its Title IX offices ever launched an investigation into the allegations, said David deRubertis of The deRubertis Law Firm in Studio City, who served as the lead trial attorney for Rogers.

Weber alleges in the lawsuit that she wrote to Morales in July 2022 raising concerns that female vice provosts at the university were being paid less than their male counterparts. She said she was one of the lowest paid vice provosts in the CSU system, despite her large assignment portfolio. She called the alleged practice “highly offensive, totally discriminatory, and retaliatory.”

Weber, according to the lawsuit, asked Morales to put an end to the alleged practice and requested an investigation into her concerns. The next day she was fired.

Zhu retires

Two months after Rogers and Weber filed their lawsuit, CSUSB announced Zhu was retiring, commending him for, among other things, being “instrumental in moving the Palm Desert campus forward” and growing the campus to meet the needs of students in the Coachella Valley.

Zhu testified during trial that his retirement was unrelated to the lawsuit, and that he wanted to take care of his ailing mother and spend more time with his children, who were getting older, deRubertis said.

He said evidence at trial showed that allegations of female employee mistreatment by Zhu were brought up during a faculty meeting at the Palm Desert campus on Sept. 20, 2022, and that CSUSB Provost Rafik Mohamed and Morales already were planning to replace him due to so-called “leadership issues” before Zhu decided to retire.

Problems ignored

DeRubertis argued during trial that the gender-based mistreatment of Rogers was “an inevitable result” after CSUSB ignored a climate survey suggesting a culture of fear, intimidation, gender-based mistreatment and bullying at the university. The survey recommended that the university adopt an anti-bullying policy and an audit of HR practices and policies.

Morales acknowledged during trial that neither recommendation was implemented, deRubertis said.

In May 2017, Cal State San Bernardino’s faculty voted 181-113 to express no-confidence in Morales, sharply criticizing him for failing to address issues raised in the campus climate survey the previous year.

The no-confidence vote and faculty senate resolution was a point of contention in the lawsuit, which described the resolution as “scathing.” It noted that within there years of Morales’ appointment as university president, 89% of the faculty, staff and administrators who were surveyed reported that the climate had become worse, and that Morales had failed to implement the bulk of the recommended changes.

“President Morales continues to be unwilling to acknowledge the severity of the problems of fear and distrust among employees,” according to the lawsuit.

Weber’s case, which was separated from Rogers’ case at trial, is expected to go to a jury next year.

Marines say live-fire 250th anniversary beach assault will not close the 5 Freeway in Orange, San Diego counties

[ad_1]

A live-fire beach assault that will include amphibious vehicles, aircraft, and Navy ships to commemorate the Marines’ 250th anniversary on Saturday at Camp Pendleton will be conducted off one of the base’s many training ranges and not cause road closures, Marine officials said.

The mock assault dubbed: America’s Marines 250: From Sea to Shore – A Review of Amphibious Strength.– which will be held in conjunction with a program expected to include comments from Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Navy Secretary John C. Phelan and Gen. Eric Smith, the Commandant of the Marine Corps — will be held off Red Beach, which lies on the coastal side of the 5 Freeway.

Comments Wednesday by Gov. Gavin Newsom on X: “Donald Trump and JD Vance think that shutting down the I-5 to shoot out missiles from ships is how you respect the military,” caused public concern, with some media outlets reporting that a possible closure of the busy 5 Freeway is being considered for parts of Orange and San Diego counties from Friday to Saturday.

“All training events will occur on approved training ranges and comply with established safety protocols,” Lt. Col. Lindsay Pirek, a spokesperson for the I Marine Expeditionary Force overseeing the planning, said late Wednesday. “No public highways or transportation routes will be closed.”

“In advance of the training event and demonstration, we conducted a detailed risk assessment,” she added. “All participants will be briefed, medical, fire, and emergency assets will be on site, and multiple rehearsals will be conducted. All air, surface, and ground movements are scripted and rehearsed in accordance with standard operating procedures and established safety checklists.”

Metrolink, however, will not be operating some of its trains that cross the base on Saturday.

“Only OC Line train 1668, the final southbound train of the day, is anticipated to complete its normal route from LA Union Station to Oceanside,” the agency said in a press release.

A request for comment on the situation was placed with the offices of Newsom and Caltrans.

Following the live-fire demonstration, a community Beach Bash will take place at Del Mar Beach, where thousands of military personnel, families, and guests are expected to gather.

“The force training activities planned ensure our readiness to defend the Homeland and protect our nation’s interests abroad against emergent and unprecedented challenges today and in the years ahead,” Pirek said. “The capabilities demonstration will feature integrated Navy and Marine Corps operations across air, land, and sea.”

The White House Production Office will capture the Amphibious Capabilities Demonstration for inclusion in a national primetime broadcast on Nov. 9, ensuring Marine Corps contributions to America’s 250th birthday are highlighted for audiences across the nation.

Relic of St. Thérèse of Lisieux can be seen at Redlands Catholic retreat house

[ad_1]

A relic of the young French Carmelite nun — known in the Catholic Church as “The Little Flower” — is coming to Redlands.

The faithful can see the relic of St. Thérèse of Lisieux at the El Carmelo Retreat House in Redlands on Friday, Oct. 17.

The first-class relic — defined as the remains or possessions associated with a saint, is a body part of the saint known for her deep faith and devotion.

Catholics celebrate St. Thérèse, especially on the 100th anniversary of her canonization, and during the Jubilee Holy Year in the Catholic Church. She died at the Carmel de Lisiuex monastery in France at age 24.

At El Carmelo, people can venerate the relic, which consists of remains inside a container, at the retreat center’s chapel from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. There is no admission fee.

Guests can park around the neighborhood or at Eastside Christian Church,1000 Roosevelt Road. Visitors may walk up the main drive — about a quarter-mile uphill trek — to the retreat chapel, or take shuttles that will be available.

There will be partial closures on Highland Avenue, and between Roosevelt Street and Cimarron Street, to allow for foot traffic.

At 7 p.m., a closing blessing will be held before the relic is removed from the site, organizers said. The retreat center and its gardens will be adorned with hundreds of roses, commemorating “The Little Flower” who loved Jesus.

St. Thérèse’s relic also visited the Carmelite-run retreat house 25 years ago, in 2000 — during the last Jubilee Holy Year in the Catholic Church — garnering thousands of visitors, organizers said.

“You feel close to God at El Carmelo,” said Tammy McCarty, chairman of the relics committee and the El Carmelo auxiliary. “It will be amazing to see how people feel when they come to see her relic.”

The Rev. Jose Luis Ferroni, a Carmelite friar and member of the relics committee, called the visit of St. Thérèse’s relic a “spiritual, miraculous cultural event” for Redlands. He hopes that visitors will leave feeling “showered and renewed.”

“In a time like this, it’s a breath of fresh air, to bring peace to each and every one of us, to our world,” Ferroni said. “Her message is very simple: Have gratitude and surrender. As Thérèse says, it doesn’t matter what you do for God — God does not look for great things that you do, but for the love that you do them.”

Small earthquake cluster hits near Big Bear Lake in San Bernardino County

[ad_1]

A series of small earthquakes hit near the Big Bear area in San Bernardino County starting late Saturday night into Sunday morning.

The earthquakes — which maxed out at magnitude 3.5 before sunrise Sunday — had an epicenter in the San Bernardino Mountains about four miles north of Big Bear Airport.

The epicenter was about 29 miles northeast of downtown San Bernardino, 27 miles southeast of Hesperia and 40 miles northwest of Palm Springs.

The first earthquake was magnitude 3.3, which struck at 11:15 p.m. Saturday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

It was followed by a magnitude 3.4 at 2:51 a.m. The magnitude 3.5 temblor followed at 3:41 a.m.

An aftershock of magnitude 2.5 was reported at 5:54 a.m., followed by a magnitude 2.6 quake at 6:20 a.m.

“Weak” shaking — or a Level Three on the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale — was felt in the Big Bear area, according to the USGS. In general, that’s enough to be felt quite noticeably by people indoors, but many people may not recognize it as an earthquake. The vibrations in such shaking may feel like a truck has passed by.

The last time the Big Bear area was hit by major earthquakes was in 1992. On June 28, 1992, a magnitude 6.3 earthquake hit about 4½ miles southeast of Big Bear Airport, causing severe shaking in the Big Bear area.

No lives were lost in the Big Bear earthquake of 1992, the USGS said, but there was substantial damage and landslides in the area, and that quake was widely felt around Southern California and in parts of southern Nevada and western Arizona.

The Big Bear earthquake of 1992 was the second of a one-two punch of temblors that occurred on the same day. Three hours earlier, and about 20 miles to the east, the powerful magnitude 7.3 Landers earthquake struck.

The Landers earthquake had an epicenter more than 25 miles northeast of Palm Springs, and resulted in severe shaking in Yucca Valley, and strong shaking in Twentynine Palms, according to the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale.

A sleeping 3-year-old boy died after being struck by a collapsing chimney in the Landers earthquake.

Those earthquakes were preceded by a magnitude 6.1 earthquake on April 22, 1992, in Joshua Tree National Park. That quake began a sequence of triggered quakes that migrated north in the following months, culminating in the Landers and Big Bear earthquakes of June 1992.

Man accused of sexually assaulting children at religious gatherings in San Bernardino County

[ad_1]

Detectives in San Bernardino County are investigating a man who may have sexually assaulted children over several years at a Yucca Valley home.

Julio Cesar Vega Medina was named a suspect in three sexual assault cases with victims’ ages ranging from 5 to 14.

Some of the alleged sexual assaults occurred at a private residence where Medina played a role in religious gatherings, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said.

The sheriff’s department did not say what the “religious gatherings” entailed.

As investigators from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department served a search warrant at Medina’s home, they discovered evidence linking him to a 2012 sexual assault of a minor in the city of Gardena, the sheriff’s department said. The officials also learned there was an active felony warrant out for Medina’s arrest in connection with the 2012 case.

Authorities believe there may be more victims and ask people to come forward if they were victimized by Medina or had information about him. Medina used several alias, including Julio Calzada-Vega, Julio Calzada, Julio Vega Calzada, Julio Medina, Julio Cesar Vega and Julio Cesar Vega Medina.

Medina Tuesday was being held without bail at the Morongto Basin jail. Gardena police also placed a hold on him for their own investigation into lewd acts with a minor sexual and assault of a minor,

Any additional victims or anyone with information regarding the incident is urged to contact Detective Tyler A. Bengard or Detective David Rodriguez of the Morongo Basin Station at (760) 366-4175.

Mudslide strands drivers for hours in the San Bernardino Mountains

[ad_1]

A major mudslide in San Bernardino County on Thursday is likely the reason behind an unusual friendship after trapping several drivers for hours on a road in Forest Falls.

Two couples, headed to different destinations, were among those stranded on State Route 38 after significant rainfall in the area triggered mudslides, prompting a complete road closure.

Kael and Jo Steel were on their way to Knott’s Berry Farm from Big Bear when they began to see the frightening debris flow come down, washing away the road.

“The rain started pouring down really hard, and suddenly we started seeing rocks and stuff start coming down the side of the mountain,” said Kael. “Then we were stopped by a Cal Trans truck. About half the road was full of mud. He waved us through, and then on our way down, the cars started coming back up, telling us that to turn around, the road is blocked ahead.”

Cal Trans had shut down about a two-mile stretch of the road in both directions just after 4 p.m. due to heavy flooding and mudslides.

The couple was stranded in the middle with no way out as crews worked to clear the road. Several more vehicles were also trapped, among them a Cal Trans employee, according to Steel.

While waiting for rescue, the Steels met Siena Hermon and Jake Schoolfield, a couple that was on their way to LAX to catch a flight to Spain.

“Chaos broke out and we were just stranded and we’re like, well, I guess we’re not going to Spain. So yeah, that’s kind of how that went for us,” said Schoolfield.

The group quickly bonded over the situation and even shared the limited food supply, a single granola bar.

Cal Trans did not immediately inform the group when they would be able to drive off. At one point, the group says they were even told they were going to be flown out by helicopter.

“We’re not taking anything for granted right now, like we can’t believe anything at this point until we’re actually driving out of it,” said Hermon.

As of Friday morning, Cal Trans did not have an exact time as to when the road would reopen.

About 20 miles away in Oak Glen, dozens of vehicles were stranded due to debris flow. Search and rescue teams were activated in San Bernardino County to help those trapped get to safety.

What to know about the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination

[ad_1]

Authorities are still trying to learn more about what motivated the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk at a college in Utah, as memorials for the conservative activist were held Sunday for his life and legacy.

Tyler James Robinson, 22, of Washington, Utah, was arrested on suspicion of aggravated murder and other felony offenses. Prosecutors are drawing up formal charges that could be filed early next week, when he will make his first court appearance.

Investigators have spoken to Robinson’s relatives and carried out a search warrant at his family’s home in Washington, about 240 miles (390 kilometers) southwest of Utah Valley University, where the shooting took place.

Here are things to know about the killing:

What do we know about motive?

Authorities have not provided many details about why they think Robinson carried out the attack on Kirk.

“There clearly was a leftist ideology,” Utah Gov. Spencer Cox said on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” noting that family and friends described Robinson’s politics as veering left in recent years. They recounted to authorities a dinner table conversation in which he mentioned Kirk’s upcoming visit to Utah Valley University.

Cox said Robinson is “not cooperating” and that friends paint a picture of someone radicalized in the dark corners of the internet. Cox stressed on several Sunday morning news shows that investigators are still trying to pin down a motive for the attack on the father of two and confidant of President Donald Trump.

State records show Robinson is registered to vote but is not affiliated with a political party and is listed as inactive, meaning he did not vote in the two most recent general elections. His parents are registered Republicans.

Ammunition found with the weapon used to kill Kirk was engraved with taunting messages.

What do we know about Robinson?

He grew up around St. George, in the southwestern corner of Utah, between Las Vegas and natural landmarks including Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks.

Robinson became a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, known widely as the Mormon church, at a young age, church spokesperson Doug Andersen said.

Robinson has two younger brothers, and his parents have been married for about 25 years, according to social media posts. Online activity by Robinson’s mother reflects an active family that took vacations to Disneyland, Hawaii, the Caribbean and Alaska.

Like many in that part of Utah, they frequently spent time outdoors — boating, fishing, riding ATVs, zip-lining and target shooting. A 2017 post shows the family visiting a military facility and posing with assault rifles. A young Robinson is seen smiling as he grips the handles of a .50-caliber heavy machine gun.

A high school honor roll student who scored in the 99th percentile nationally on standardized tests, he was admitted to Utah State University in 2021 on a prestigious academic scholarship, according to a video of him reading his acceptance letter that was posted to a family member’s social media account.

But he attended for only one semester, according to a university spokesperson. He is currently enrolled as a third-year student in the electrical apprenticeship program at Dixie Technical College in St. George.

Robinson’s partner is transgender, Cox said. Some politicians have pointed to that as a sign Robinson was targeting Kirk for his anti-transgender views, but authorities have not said whether it is relevant to the investigation. Cox said the partner has been “incredibly cooperative,” and “had no idea that this was happening.”

What has the fallout from the assassination been?

It prompted calls for greater civility in the country’s political discourse, especially on social media. But many people have made comments about Kirk and the shooting that brought consequences. Numerous workers have been fired for their comments on Kirk’s death, among them MSNBC political analyst Matthew Dowd.

It’s not the first time people have lost jobs over things they say publicly, but the speed of the firings has raised questions about free speech rights.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ education commissioner warned teachers in the state that making “disgusting” statements about Kirk’s assassination could draw sanctions, including the suspension or revocation of their teaching licenses.

A conservative internet personality who is embedded with immigration agents in Chicago filmed a video outside Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker’s private home in which he urged viewers to “take action” after Kirk’s assassination. Pritzker’s office said his security has been increased in recent days.

Partisans have been fighting over who’s to blame for Kirk’s death, but experts on political violence say many of those who commit such crimes seem to act on beliefs that don’t map clearly onto partisan lines. They say the broader political environment is more important: The more heated the atmosphere, the more likely it is to lead unstable people to commit acts of violence.

Memorials are held in Washington, Arizona and elsewhere

A vigil at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., was among numerous tributes to Kirk on Sunday, including in San Clemente, Huntington Beach, Riverside and Beverly Hills. The line of mourners in Washington wrapped around the center.

Kirk also was memorialized at Dream City Church in Phoenix, where he hosted one of his “Freedom Night in America” gatherings. Attendees viewed clips of Kirk discussing his desire to be “remembered for courage for my faith.” Angel Barnett, a church pastor, called on the crowd to honor Kirk by carrying on his message.

Flowers, U.S. flags and handwritten messages were left at a makeshift memorial at Utah Valley University’s main entrance. The school has said there will be increased security when classes resume Wednesday.

Turning Point USA, Kirk’s conservative organization, will hold a memorial for him Sept. 21 at State Farm Stadium outside Phoenix, where the Arizona Cardinals play. Kirk’s casket arrived Thursday in his home state aboard Air Force Two, accompanied by Vice President JD Vance.

His widow, Erika Kirk, vowed to continue his campus tour and his radio and podcast shows.

“To everyone listening tonight across America, the movement my husband built will not die,” she said Friday in a livestreamed video. “It won’t. I refuse to let that happen.”

Crews rescue dog stuck in aqueduct in Phelan

[ad_1]

A dog stranded on an aqueduct in Phelan was saved thanks to San Bernardino County Fire crews.

Crews received a report of a swift water rescue involving a dog trapped on the aqueduct on Wednesday, the department said. While executing an aerial search for a missing person, a San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Aviation helicopter saw the pooch and alerted dispatchers.

The rescue team then immediately headed to the location where the dog was spotted and worked to save it. Video of the rescue showed crew members calmly approaching the dog as water levels reached its paws.

After securing a harness on the dog, crews were able to successfully lift it to safety and out of the aqueduct. The pooch was not harmed during the ordeal.

“This rescue highlights the adaptability of our firefighters and the importance of interagency coordination,” Battalion Chief Sean Solis said in a statement. “We are grateful for the Sheriff’s Aviation crew spotting the animal and helping us bring it to safety.”

It’s unclear how the dog got onto the aqueduct.

San Bernardino man enlists public’s help in finding missing pet tortoise

[ad_1]

A San Bernardino man is calling on the public to help locate his tortoise, who has been missing for nearly a week.

Cactus Bash has been searching for his 3-year-old Sulcata tortoise, Dolly, since Thursday. The young reptile was roaming around the yard as she normally does when she managed to leave the property.

“My gate came loose recently, and she was able to push the bottom of it further and I didn’t know,” Bash said. “She was waiting for me to feed her and she just decided to walk out. I got out there and she was gone. I couldn’t find her, nothing.”

Since Dolly’s disappearance, Bash has spread the word about his missing pet on social media and posted flyers asking the community to keep an eye out. The pet-owner said this is the first time the tortoise has been on her own.

“She’s like my kid. She’s going to live to be 130. She’s only 3 right now, so she’s a baby,” he said. “… Just imagine how scared that she is, you know? My poor baby, I really hope she’s OK. I hope that she’s safe.”

Dolly is described as being about the size of a medium cat. She’s larger than a football, according to Bash’s flyer.

Bash asks anyone who sees Dolly to call him.

“If anyone comes across my pet, please reach out to me,” he said.“… Just please reach out, I want to find her as soon as possible. She is very important to me.”

Bash can be reached at 951-669-0644.

Riverside County DA says ‘Baby Emmanuel’ died from suspected ongoing physical abuse

[ad_1]

Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin announced Wednesday, Aug. 27, that a 7-month-old infant whose parents have been charged with his death is believed to have suffered prolonged physical abuse before he died.

“The filing in this case reflects our belief that Baby Emmanuel was the victim of child abuse over time, and that, eventually, because of that abuse, he succumbed to those injuries,” Hestrin said during a news conference at the District Attorney’s Office in Riverside.

Emmuel’s mother, Rebecca Haro, reported him abducted from a Big 5 Sporting Goods store in Yucaipa on Aug. 14. Investigators now believe the boy is dead, but his remains have not been located.

Hestrin also told a throng of reporters during the conference that investigators have some ideas of where Emmanuel’s remains are, but he declined to reveal specifics.

“We have a pretty strong indication of where the remains of Baby Emmanuel are, so that investigation is ongoing at this time,” said Hestrin, who also declined to elaborate on why investigators believe the boy had suffered prolonged physical abuse.

Rebecca Haro, 41, and Emmanuel’s father, Jake Haro, 32, both of Cabazon, were each charged on Tuesday, Aug. 26, with murder and a misdemeanor count of filing a false police report. They both appeared in court Tuesday at the Riverside County Hall of Justice for an arraignment, but did not enter pleas. They will next appear in court on Sept. 4.

Rebecca Haro told San Bernardino County sheriff’s investigators on Aug. 14 that she was changing her son’s diaper outside the Big 5 store when she was assaulted and knocked unconscious by an unknown man. When she awoke, she told investigators, her child was gone.

But within 24 hours, according to San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus, detectives found inconsistencies in Haro’s statements, prompting a massive joint investigation involving his department, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department and the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office’s High Tech Crimes Unit.

Investigators interviewed several people, including the Haros, but when confronted with inconsistencies in her initial account, Rebecca Haro declined to answer further questions. San Bernardino County sheriff’s investigators later said her account was a lie — and the couple were arrested on Aug. 22.

The day before their arrest, Riverside County sheriff’s deputies were sent to the 23000 block of Cottonwood Avenue in Moreno Valley on a report of child abuse made by Jake Haro, Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco said.

In a jailhouse interview Wednesday at the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility in Banning, Jake Haro said his and Rebecca Haro’s 2-year-old daughter, McKenzie, was removed from their custody by Riverside County Child and Protective Services. He said their daughter was “fine” and there was “not a bruise on her” when she was removed from their home.

But when he subsequently visited McKenzie at the county children’s services office on Cottonwood Avenue in Moreno Valley, he said, “She looked like she got hit by a truck that then reversed and ran over her again.”

After the news conference Wednesday, Bianco said Jake Haro “was the reporting party alleging abuse allegations that were determined to be unfounded.” The sheriff considered that to be “possibly a deliberate attempt to distance himself from future abuse allegations.”

On Sunday, Haro, wearing a red jail jumpsuit, was accompanied by investigators as they looked for Emmanuel’s body in a brushy area off of the 60 Freeway near Gilman Springs Road in the Riverside County Badlands. It was unclear if Haro led investigators to that location or they wound up there based on other leads.

Dicus did, however, say during the news conference that investigators have been receiving “some level of cooperation with the suspects,” but it wasn’t clear if that cooperation was related to the Badlands area search.

Hestrin said Emmanuel’s suspected death was preventable. He cited Jake Haro’s 2023 guilty plea to charges of abusing his 10-week-old daughter by a previous marriage in 2018, leaving her permanently bedridden with cerebral palsy. Hestrin said his office pushed for mandatory prison time, but the judge instead cut Haro a “big break” and he received a suspended four-year sentence and 180 days of work release.

Hestrin said the girl’s extensive injuries — fractured ribs that were either fresh or in various stages of healing, a partial bone fracture of the skull, a brain hemorrhage and a healing leg fracture — were presented to the judge.

“This is severe abuse for an infant,” Hestrin said. “Someone who does that to a child belongs in prison, period.”

This time, Hestrin said, his office is not interested in any plea agreements with the Haros.

“We’re interested in a trial and getting justice,” he said.
