THE TEMPLE RECEIVING SOME DAMAGE QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS OF THAT TEMPLE ABOUT WHY THEY WOULD BECOME A TARGET. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US HERE AT FOUR. I’M ANDREA FLORES. I’M LISA GONZALEZ. THIS ALL HAPPENED AT A HINDU TEMPLE IN RANCHO CORDOVA. KCRA 3’S DENEEKA HILL JOINS US LIVE. SO, DENEEKA. WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED? AND WHAT IS THEIR MESSAGE TO THE COMMUNITY NOW? YEAH, THEY SAY THIS IS A RELIGION OF PEACE AND TOLERANCE. AND RIGHT NOW THEY DON’T KNOW EXACTLY WHY THIS TEMPLE WOULD BE TARGETED. AND YOU CAN SEE BEHIND ME, THEY HAVE STARTED TO DO SOME OF THE CLEANUP TO THAT VANDALISM THAT WAS ON THE SIGN AND ON THE ROADWAY. NOW TAKE A LOOK AT THIS VIDEO. THIS IS WHAT THE DAMAGE LOOKS LIKE. THE SIGN IN FRONT OF THE PARKING LOT COVERED IN GRAFFITI. HATEFUL COMMENTS ABOUT MODI, THE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA WHO JUST SPENT TIME HERE IN THE U.S. VISITING WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN. NOW THE SUSPECTS ALSO ATTEMPTED TO CUT THE WATER LINES TO THE BUILDING AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY CAME TOGETHER TO SPREAD THEIR MESSAGE OF PEACE AND TO PRAY FOR THE INDIVIDUALS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. NOW, DEPUTIES SAY THIS HAPPENED SOMETIME OVERNIGHT, AND NOW THEY’RE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO TRY AND TRACK DOWN THESE SUSPECTS. WE HAVE OUR DETECTIVES FROM OUR GANG UNIT, WHICH INVESTIGATES ALL HATE CRIMES HERE. WE HAVE STATE AND FEDERAL PARTNERS COMING AS WELL. SO AGAIN, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT’S GOING TO GET SWEPT UNDER THE RUG OR DISAPPEAR. IF YOU DID THIS, YOU WILL BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE. SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE. TURN YOURSELF IN. AND AGAIN, HERE WITHIN JUST THE LAST HOUR OR SO, THEY DID GET A CREW OUT HERE TO START CLEANING UP SOME OF THIS DAMAGE. NOW, WE DID SPEAK WITH THE MEMBERS OF THE TEMPLE HERE ABOUT HOW THIS IMPACTS THEM, HOW IT IS STRIKING FEAR WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. I’LL HAVE MORE FROM THEM AND THEIR MESSAGE TO THE COMMUNITY TONIGHT AT SIX. HERE IN RANCHO CORDOVA, DENEEKA HILL KCRA THREE NEWS. DENEEKA. THANK YOU. IN THE TEMPLE, BY THE WAY, SAYS THEY WILL HAVE MORE SECURITY IN THE COMING DAYS. THEY ALSO SAY JUST TEN DAYS AGO, A HINDU TEMPLE IN LONG ISLAND WAS ALSO TARGETED WITH SIMILAR MESSAGING. A WOMAN HAS DIED AFTER BEING HIT BY A CAR IN A FAIRFIELD NEIGHBORHOOD. THE CRASH HAPPENED BEFORE 830 THIS MORNING ON WATERMAN BOULEVARD BETWEEN CAPITOLA WAY AND BARBER DRIVE. THAT STRETCH OF ROAD WAS CLOSED FOR A TIME DURING THE INVESTIGATION. OFFICERS SAY THE WOMAN WAS CROSSING THE STREET WHEN SHE WAS HIT. THE DRIVER STAYED AT THE SCENE AND IS COOPERATING WITH POLICE. DUI DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A FACTOR. THE VICTIM’S NAME HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED. NOW TO MULTIPLE DEVELOPMENTS ON A HIGH-SPEED CHASE THAT ENDED WITH A SHOOTOUT BETWEEN A DRIVER AND DEPUTIES IN YUBA COUNTY. THAT DRIVER WAS KILLED. NOW AN INVESTIGATION IS UNDERWAY INTO EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. AND WE ALL WE KNOW IT DID START WITH A TRAFFIC STOP. THE YUBA COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE SAYS A DEPUTY TRIED TO PULL OVER A TRUCK AROUND 1030 LAST NIGHT ON HIGHWAY 20, IN BROWNS VALLEY, NEAR SHADOW BROOK TRAIL. THE DRIVER DID NOT STOP, AND THAT’S WHEN THE CHASE STARTED. THE TRUCK FINALLY STOPPED ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER, AND DEPUTIES SAY THE DRIVER FIRED SHOTS. SO DEPUTIES FIRED BACK. THE DRIVER WAS KILLED. KCRA 3’S MARICELA DE LA CRUZ IS LIVE ON THIS DEVELOPING STORY. SO MARICELA, WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED? WELL, THE SHOOTING HAPPENED ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY, BUT A SPOKESPERSON WITH THE YUBA COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE TELLS ME THAT THEIR DEPUTIES WERE FOLLOWING DEPARTMENT POLICY TO CONTINUE THIS CHASE. NOW IT ALL STARTED ABOUT TEN MILES FROM WHERE WE’RE STANDING. AND WE KNOW THAT OFFICERS WITH THE YUBA CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT AND DEPUTIES FROM THE YUBA COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE WERE INVOLVED IN THIS INVESTIGATION. BUT WE STILL DO NOT KNOW WHY DEPUTIES TRIED PULLING THE DRIVER OVER. ONCE THE PURSUIT STARTED, WE’RE TOLD THAT THE SUSPECT WAS DRIVING ABOUT 80MPH AND A BLUE FORD PICKUP TRUCK. AT LEAST TWO TIRES WERE BLOWN OUT BY THE TIME HE CAME TO A STOP. AFTER DEPUTIES DEPLOYED SPIKE STRIPS. THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE SAYS THE SUSPECT SHOT AT THEM FIRST, SO THEY RETURNED FIRE. AND AT THIS TIME, THE INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN TURNED OVER TO THE YUBA SUTTER OFFICER INVOLVED SHOOTING CRITICAL INCIDENT TEAM. WE ALSO HEARD FROM A RESIDENT ALONG THIS HIGHWAY WHO, DESPITE THIS SHOOTING JUST HAPPENING, JUST A SHORT DISTANCE AWAY. SHE SAYS SHE FEELS SAFE THERE ARE CERTAIN GUIDELINES THAT HAVE TO BE MET IN ORDER FOR THEM TO CONTINUE A PURSUIT OR TERMINATE A PURSUIT. THOSE GUIDELINES WERE MET. DID THEY PLAN ON HAVING A SHOOTING? ABSOLUTELY NOT. AND LIKE I SAID, THAT WAS A RESPONSE TO OUR DEPUTIES BEING SHOT AT FROM THE SUSPECT INSIDE OF THE TRUCK. WE RETURNED FIRE AND THAT’S WHERE, YOU KNOW, THE THE SUSPECT UNFORTUNATELY DIED ON SCENE. WHEN I CAME OUT, I SAW THAT THE THE THE TAPE AND MY DAUGHTER IN LAW COULDN’T DROP OFF THE KIDS. I HAD TO GO PICK THEM UP TO THE STORE BECAUSE SHE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO, TO COME. AND WE DON’T HAVE AN EXACT NUMBER OF DEPUTIES INVOLVED IN THIS INVESTIGATION, BUT WE WERE TOLD BY THE YUBA COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE THAT MULTIPLE DEPUTIES ARE ON PAID ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE AT THIS TIME, AND WE ALSO REACHED OUT TO THE YUBA CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND WE WERE TOLD THAT TWO OF THEIR OFFICERS ARE ALSO ON PAID ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE. WE ARE LIVE IN MARYSVILLE, MARICELA DE LA CRUZ KCRA THREE NEWS. YUBA COUNTIES POLICY SAYS DEPUTIES ARE AUTHORIZED TO INITIATE A PURSUIT WHEN THE DEPUTY REASONABLY BELIEVES THAT A SUSPECT IS ATTEMPTING TO EVADE ARREST. DEPUTIES ALSO CONSIDER THE SERIOUSNESS OF A SUSPECTED CRIME AND THE IMPACT ON PUBLIC SAFETY. WE STILL DON’T HAVE ANY DETAILS ABOUT THE DRIVER WHO WAS KILLED, BUT OF COURSE WE WILL KEEP ON ASKING THOSE QUESTIONS AND BRING YOU THAT INFORMATION AS SOON AS WE GET IT. A HILMAR WOMAN DIED IN A CAR CRASH IN MODESTO. THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, ABOUT 230 ON THE CARPENTER ROAD OVERPASS, JUST SOUTH OF SOUTH NINTH STREET. OFFICERS SAY A NISSAN ROGUE WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON CARPENTER ROAD, WHILE A TOYOTA TACOMA WAS TRAVELING SOUTH. THOSE VEHICLES COLLIDED. THE DRIVER OF THE NISSAN WAS KILLED. THE DRIVER OF THE TOYOTA WAS NOT HURT. BUT OFFICERS SAY THERE IS NO INDICATION DRUGS OR ALCOHOL WERE FACTORS IN THIS DEADLY COLLISION. STUDENTS ARE SHAKEN AFTER A SCHOOL BUS CRASH IN GALT. THIS HAPPENED JUST AFTER 7:00 THIS MORNING ON TWIN CITIES ROAD. THE BUS WAS HIT IN THE FRONT SIDE BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THREE STUDENTS AND THE DRIVER WERE ON BOARD. THERE WERE NO MAJOR INJURIES. THE BUS DRIVER AND ONE OF THE STUDENTS WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL FOR A CHECKUP. ANOTHER BUS TOOK THE OTHER STUDENTS TO SCHOOL. TRACY POLICE HAVE TAKEN AN 11 YEAR OLD INTO CUSTODY FOR MAKING THREATS AGAINST A MIDDLE SCHOOL. POLICE SAY SEVERAL TEXT MESSAGES REGARDING THREATS OF VIOLENCE AT WILLIAMS MIDDLE SCHOOL STARTED CIRCULATING YESTERDAY. OFFICERS IDENTIFIED AN 11 YEAR OLD STUDENT AS THE SUSPECT. HE WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY, BUT DUE TO HIS AGE, HE WAS NOT BOOKED INTO JUVENILE HALL. HE FACES A CHARGE OF CRIMINAL THREATS AND TRACY. POLICE ARE NOW REMINDING PARENTS AND STUDENTS ONCE AGAIN THAT MAKING THESE KINDS OF THREATS HAS SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF THOSE WHO DIED FROM VIOLENCE GATHERED TODAY TO REMEMBER AND HONOR THEIR LOVED ONES. TODAY WAS NATIONAL DAY OF REMEMBRANCE FOR MURDER VICTIMS. IT’S MEANT TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT THE IMPACT VIOLENT CRIME HAS ON FAMILIES. PEOPLE GATHERED TODAY AT HOWELL PARK TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE KILLED BY VIOLENT CRIMES ARE NOT FORGOTTEN. THEY FORGET OUR LOVED ONES. THEY WANT TO CHANGE LAWS AND SAY IT’S UNFAIR FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN PRISON TO DO THAT AMOUNT OF TIME, BECAUSE IT’S CRUEL AND INHUMANE AND THEY FORGET HOW OUR LOVED ONES DIED IN SUCH A CRUEL AND INHUMANE WAY. THEY NEED TO BE REMEMBERED. FOR MONTHS NOW. TODAY, A BENCH WAS DEDICATED AT THE PARK. IT’S A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN SIT, REFLECT AND REMEMBER THEIR LOVED ONES. FIVE PEOPLE, INCLUDING TWO FIREFIGHTERS, ARE RECOVERING RIGHT NOW AFTER A FIRE AT A SACRAMENTO COUNTY HOME. THIS ALL HAPPENED AFTER 530 THIS MORNING ON LAWFIELD DRIVE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD JUST SOUTH OF GREENBACK LANE. BEFORE YOU GET TO MADISON, THIS IS ALL IN THE FAIR OAKS AREA. THREE ADULTS AND A CHILD WERE INSIDE THE HOME AT THE TIME. THREE OF THEM WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL FOR BREATHING IN SMOKE. TWO FIREFIGHTERS WERE HURT AND TREATED FOR MINOR BURN INJURIES, AND CREWS SAY THERE WERE HOARDING CONDITIONS AT THE HOME AND THAT MADE FIGHTING THE FLAMES EVEN MORE CHALLENGING. THERE WAS A POINT WHERE THE ENTIRE ROOM WAS FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES IN A MATTER OF LESS THAN A SECOND. THOSE CREWS DID CALL A MAYDAY, AND THEY WERE BROUGHT OUT SAFELY. WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS REALLY KNOCK THE FIRE DOWN THE BULK OF THE FIRE DOWN, MAKE SURE THE BUILDING IS STABLE. ONE OF THE WORRIES WE HAVE IS WITH THAT AMOUNT OF FIRE THAT’S IMPINGING ON THOSE MEMBERS THAT ARE HOLDING THE THE, THE HOME UP. WE’RE WORRIED ABOUT STRUCTURAL COLLAPSE. WE’RE WORRIED ABOUT A NUMBER OF THINGS. SEVERAL ANIMALS INSIDE THE HOME ARE MISSING. THE FIRE DIDN’T SPREAD TO OTHER HOUSES. THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE IS UNDER INVESTIGATION. CREWS WERE OUT ON HIGHWAY 99 FOR HOURS CLEANING UP AFTER A LOAD OF ALMONDS SLID OFF OF A TRUCK, 40,000 POUNDS OF ALMONDS, IN FACT, SLID OFF THE DOUBLE TRAILER. BIG RIG JUST AFTER 6:00 THIS MORNING. IT HAPPENED NORTH OF ACAMPO. THE TRUCK DRIVER SAYS ANOTHER VEHICLE HIT THE ALMOND TRUCK, CAUSING THE ALMOND TRUCK DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THAT HEAVY CARGO LOAD. YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THOSE ALMONDS THERE. THEY SPILLED OUT OF THEIR CRATES WHEN THEY CRASHED TO THE GROUND. ALL OF THOSE ALMONDS ARE NOW A TOTAL LOSS. IF I HAVE TO BE FEARFUL, I HAVE TO BE FEARFUL OF THE OTHER VEHICLES BECAUSE THEY’RE JUST NOT PAYING ATTENTION. THERE IS, YOU KNOW, QUALITY AND VALUE VERY IMPORTANT TO US IN FOOD SAFETY. SO THERE THERE IS NO WAY THAT THAT IS GOING TO GO INTO ANY TYPE OF PRODUCTION. CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL IS LOOKING FOR THE DRIVER WHO HIT THE TRUCK. THE BLUE DIAMOND COMPANY SAYS THE MONETARY LOSS IS NOT KNOWN AT THIS TIME, BUT IT WILL DEPEND ON THE MARKET VALUE OF THE ALMONDS. TODAY, GOVERNOR NEWSOM IS SIGNING THREE NEW BILLS INTO LAW, WHICH THE GOVERNOR SAYS GIVES LOCAL COMMUNITIES MORE POWER TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM OIL AND GAS OPERATIONS, WHILE ALSO ADDRESSING POLLUTION CONCERNS. AB 3233 ALSO ALLOWS CITIES AND COUNTIES TO LIMIT OR PROHIBIT NEW OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENTS, OVERRIDING RECENT COURT DECISIONS THAT BLOCKED ORDINANCES LIMITING OIL DRILLING. AB 1866 INCREASES FEES AND IMPOSES STRICTER REGULATIONS ON IDLE WELLS, SPECIFICALLY THOSE NOT ACTIVELY BEING USED BUT HAVE NOT BEEN PROPERLY DECOMMISSIONED, AND AB 2716 PROHIBITS LOW OIL PRODUCTION WELLS FROM OPERATIONS SPECIFICALLY IN THE INGLEWOOD OIL FIELD, WHILE ALSO IMPOSING A MONTHLY $10,000 PENALTY UNTIL THE WELLS ARE PERMANENTLY PLUGGED. THE MONEY FROM THOSE PENALTIES WILL GO DIRECTLY BACK INTO THE COMMUNITY TO HOLD FOLKS ACCOUNTABLE ON THESE LOW PRODUCTION WELLS AND TO CREATE A FRAMEWORK OF ACCOUNTABILITY AS IT RELATES TO ASSESSING FEES AND FINES THAT WILL GO BACK, NOT TO THE GENERAL FUND AND THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, BUT BACK TO THE COMMUNITY FOR PARKS AND OPEN SPACE AND FOR HEALING. AS MAYOR — SAID, THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE COMMUNITY AT THE SAME TIME. NEWSOM SAYS THE STATE CURRENTLY HAS $160 MILLION IN STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDING SET ASIDE, READY TO BEGIN PLUGGING ORPHANED WELLS. WE HAVE SOME BREAKING NEWS FROM THE U.S. CAPITOL. LAWMAKERS JUST PASSED A BILL TO AVOID A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. HERE’S A LIVE LOOK AT OUR NATION’S CAPITOL. THE HOUSE AND SENATE PASSED THE TEMPORARY MEASURE TO KEEP FEDERAL AGENCIES FUNDED WHEN THE NEW FISCAL YEAR BEGINS. THAT START DATE IS NEXT TUESDAY. THE BILL GENERALLY FUNDS AGENCIES AT THEIR CURRENT LEVELS THROUGH DECEMBER 20TH. THAT MEANS LAWMAKERS WILL HAVE TO TACKLE THIS AGAIN AFTER THE GENERAL ELECTION. ADDITIONAL FUNDING WAS ADDED TO BOLSTER THE SECRET SERVICE. MONEY WAS ALSO ADDED TO AID WITH THE PRESIDENTIAL TRANSITION AND
