  • Three dead in wrong way crash on 5 - Three people were killed this morning and two others were critically injured in a wrong way crash that shut down the southbound Santa Ana (5) Freeway, just south of Slauson Avenue, reported around 3:10 a.m. A Toyota that was northbound in the southbound lanes collided with a southbound Nissan. Killed were the Toyota’s driver, a man in his 20s who was alone in the car, a woman of about 19 who was driving the Nissan, and a woman in her 20s who was riding in the rear seat of the car,. Their names were withheld, pending notification of relatives. Two men also riding in the Nissan — one in front and one in back — survived and were taken to the hospital.
  • Suicide attempt disrupts morning train - An 18-year-old unidentified man, who was upset over a failed math exam and a breakup, lay down in front of a locomotive about 3:30 a.m.. The freight train was able to stop before hitting the man, who then crawled on top of the locomotive. Authorities then attempted to negotiate with the man for the next two hours or so. “He was quite agitated most of the time and pretty uncommunicative in terms of any meaningful dialogue,” He eventually leaped to the ground, appearing to intentionally avoid the bags and breaking a foot or ankle. The incident delayed commuter train traffic for about half an hour.
  • Fresno woman found guilty for acid killing - A central California biochemist convicted of killing her estranged husband by knocking him out and stuffing him into a vat of acid has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Larissa Schuster of Clovis was convicted in December of murdering Timothy Schuster for financial gain. His half-dissolved body was found a few days after in a barrel that was inside a storage unit his wife had rented.
