BREAKING! A new fire has just sparked on Solar Dr in the Hollywood Hills.

Watch: President Donald Trump slams CA for lack of water needed to fight the devastating fires in LA:

“It's very sad because I've been trying to get Gavin Newsom to allow water to come. You have tremendous water up there. They send it out to the Pacific because they're trying to protect a tiny little fish."

"They have no water in the fire hydrants today in Los Angeles."

"They have plenty of water. They don't have a drought. They send it out to the Pacific."

"And it's crazy. So what's happening in California is a true tragedy."

THIS is the PACIFIC PALISADES right now, as the sun goes down on this dark day.

Praying for brighter days ahead.

Indiana: An investigation at a Fort Wayne apartment complex ended with a woman dead and an officer injured Wednesday afternoon, according to the Fort Wayne Police Department (FWPD).

According to the FWPD, city officers responded to assist other officers with the Indiana State Parole regarding a barricaded person armed with a knife. The parole officers also said the person, only identified as an adult woman, has a felony parole violation warrant.

Several attempts to contact the woman were unsuccessful, and shots were fired during the incident, which resulted in the woman being shot. Medics transported the woman to a hospital where she later died, according to the FWPD.

A WANE 15 crew saw an officer being taken from one of the apartments with what appeared to be some sort of injury, which the FWPD later described as “minor.” However, police did not specify how the injury happened.

Please join us in sending prayers and, or positive thoughts for his recovery. 🙏🏽
