LAPD HQ: A call came in last night. A group of gang members causing a disturbance in Cypress Park—an area which has seen an increase in gang shootings & homicides. LAPD Northeast Officers respond & observe several suspects flee on foot, one tossing a handgun & another tossing a rifle. A perimeter is established, and with the assistance of additional officers from the Northeast Gang Unit & Metropolitan Division K-9, two gang members were arrested for firearms possession & probation violations, and 3 handguns & 2 rifles were recovered. The arrest of these gang members & recovery of 5 firearms prevented additional violent crimes & saved lives—and serves as another example of the proliferation of guns and the difficult circumstances the men and women of the LAPD are dealing with daily.

WARNING! GRAPHIC CONTENT! San Diego Harbor Police released body-worn camera and surveillance footage of a shootout between an officer and a 29-year-old suspect earlier this month outside the San Diego Convention Center. The incident came following a traffic stop initiated by Horn at about 7 p.m. after witnessing the driver of a black sedan run a red light at First Avenue and Harbor Drive. Multiple videos show Horn stop the car near the convention center. Horn believed Quiroz was driving impaired and asked him to exit the vehicle, according to police. Upon stepping out, video shows Quiroz pull a handgun out with his right hand. “Hey, put that gun down,” Horn said, before taking several steps backward and firing his service weapon in Quiroz’s direction. What followed was a tense shootout where Horn is shown taking cover behind his cruiser. He is heard shouting at Quiroz, telling him to get on his knees and to drop the weapon. (Read the Full Story.)

Gas prices across the nation have been increasing since February when Texas refineries stop operating due to freezing weather conditions.

But in California they use a special blend created in state or in Washington. Consumer Watchdog says it’s not imported; so how would our prices be affected?

The autopsy report is out, and it shows no evidence of life threatening injuries found on George Floyd. But that's only the beginning of the report.

Sort of tough to convict a cop of murder when the autopsy report suggests he didn't kill him.

Germany -- Clash between Police and Anti-lockdown protesters. It’s all over the place now.

Detroit, Michigan -- In a press release this week, Fiat Chrysler announced they will be suing Cherokee tribal leaders for using the Jeep Cherokee name without their permission, according to reports.

"The Jeep Cherokee has been a proud tradition for decades," said Michael Manley, CEO of the company. "I just found out this tribe of people from the American South has been appropriating the name of our flagship SUV without asking for it first and it must stop."

"They can pick literally any other name they want -- 'Cherry Tree', 'Chickadee,' I dunno. They just can't use the name 'Cherokee.'"

According to sources, Jeep has sent an army of lawyers to deliver a "cease and desist" letter to the Cherokee tribal council. The tribe will be required to change their name or face costly legal battles.

The tribe is vowing to fight the army of lawyers to the last man.
