Today, our communities are grieving following two separate tragedies that claimed multiple lives, including the lives of NBCLA personnel in a devastating helicopter accident.
 
I extend my deepest condolences to the families, friends, and loved ones of all those who tragically lost their lives.  My heart is also with the colleagues of the NBC4 team and everyone impacted by these heartbreaking events.
 
On behalf of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, we stand with the families, loved ones, and communities affected by these tragedies as they mourn these profound losses.  May they find strength and comfort in one another and in support of their friends, colleagues, and community during the difficult days ahead.

NEW: 100+ House Democrats sign on to a letter that demands House Speaker Mike Johnson cancel the House's upcoming recess and instead keep Congress in session to "confront the AI crisis".

"At least Nero had the decency to stay in town while Rome burned," said Rep. Sam Liccardo (D-CA). “Speaker Mike Johnson is shutting down Congress for seven weeks. The American people need action, not vacation.”

A man accused of m*rder can't be charged because prosecutors MISSED A DEADLINE. Austin police accused Peter Perius of k*lling 36-year-old Natalie Renee Pearce, leaving her body under a tarp for two days and then hiding her remains beneath a backyard burn pit.

Perius was arrested for MURDER and held on a $500,000 bond.

Then the case sat long enough for the Travis County District Attorney's Office to miss the required indictment deadline, and a judge dismissed the m*rder charge.

Perius eventually pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence involving a human corpse and received 10 years, with 766 days of credit already applied toward the sentence.

There was never a m*rder trial.

Whatever a jury ultimately might have decided, Natalie Pearce and her family deserved to have the allegation prosecuted competently enough to GET TO A JURY.

Instead, one of the most serious charges imaginable disappeared because prosecutors failed to meet a deadline.

Absolutely unbelievable.

The first responders, veterans, and members of the community gathered together Wednesday to honor the life of 33-year-old Charleston County Deputy Michael Hendricks, who died in the line of duty.

Deputy Hendricks was on duty when he was killed on Wednesday, September 9, when his vehicle collided with a tractor-trailer on Ladsen Road.

Gov. McMaster has directed that the flags atop the State Capitol, state buildings, and buildings of the political subdivisions be flown at half-staff in his honor.💙🕊

Rest Easy Brother. Prayers for his family of blue and blood.🙏🏻
