Monday: Risk of heavy rain and flooding continues for the Southwest today. More record heat this week.

NEW: Somebody walked up to a postal truck in broad daylight in Sacramento and drove off with trays of mail — and officials say ballots may have been in the mix.

It happened around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday in the College Glen neighborhood. Video shows a man in a gray SUV opening the back of the truck and taking the trays. A neighbor watched it happen. U.S. Postal Inspector Jonathan Lanning told KCRA that mail was stolen and “there may have been ballots affected.”

Sacramento County had just mailed out ballots with Election Day coming up. Local resident Mary Brown said she checked her informed-mail notice and was supposed to get ballots for her great-grandchildren that day. They never showed.

The Postal Inspection Service is offering up to $100,000 for information that leads to an arrest and conviction. Tip line is 1-877-876-2455.

Should mail-in ballots be sitting in open postal trucks in the middle of the afternoon?

Just think how well off The United States would be if it only concentrated on the well being of it's citizens & only spent tax payers money on itself. Foreign aid reeks of waste & fraud & robs Americans of prosperity.

On October 12, 1957, Temple Station Deputy Harold Blevins, 26, was fatally shot, and his partner, Deputy Charles E. Covington, 31, was critically wounded while responding to a pre-dawn robbery call at a restaurant in San Marino.

Deputies Blevins and Covington were the first to arrive at the scene. As their patrol vehicle pulled up, the suspect waited at the entrance and opened fire on the responding deputies.

Deputy Blevins joined the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department in July 1952 and had served at Temple Station for more than two years before making the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

We honor the memory of Deputy Harold Blevins and remember Deputy Charles E. Covington, who was critically wounded that day. Their service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

It is with profound sadness, shock, and heavy hearts that we address the devastating news that emerged out of Marin County. The tragic loss of retired Deputy Chief Ann Mannix, her daughter Katie, and retired Sergeant Kevin Mannix in a suspected murder-suicide has left our entire SFPD family reeling.

Ann Mannix was a trailblazer in our department—becoming the first woman to join and lead the SWAT team, and rising to lead both the Field Operations and Special Operations Bureaus. Many worked alongside Kevin during his 27 years of dedicated service at Taraval Station and beyond. To see their lives, and the life of their 24-year-old daughter Katie, end in such a horrific and senseless manner is a burden that weighs heavily on every officer, active and retired.

Let us keep the extended Mannix family and all those affected by this profound tragedy in our thoughts and prayers.🙏🏻
