- Shooting leaves 14-year-old girl on life support -A 16-year-old boy is being held in connection with a gang-related shooting in Highland Park. The boy, whose name had not been released, was standing at York Blvd. and North Avenue 64 at about 3:15 p.m on Monday when the shooting occurred. Fabian Aguirre, 33, of Highland Park, driving a pickup truck, stopped at a red light at the intersection and the two began to exchange words. The boy pulled out a handgun and fired multiple shots, striking Aguirre and the girl, who was riding in the back of an SUV next to Aguirre’s pickup. Aguirre was struck once in each arm and the girl was shot in the head. She has showed no signs of brain activity and is now on life-support.

Although the suspect was reported to have a handgun, it was unclear if a weapon was recovered at the scene.
- The man who caused Metrolink crash says he was trying to kill himself - Juan Manuel Alvarez testified today that he only intended to kill himself, not others, when he drove his SUV onto the railroad tracks three years ago. He then apologized for causing the wreck, which killed 11 train passengers and injured 180 others. “I feel terrible and I ask for forgiveness,” Alvarez said. “I believe some of the family members are here today. I am sorry for what happened; I never meaned to hurt anyone. That could have been my mom or my dad.” The issue of whether the 29-year-old Compton man willfully set out to derail a train, commit arson and maim and kill people is at the core of arguments at his trial. If convicted of first-degree murder, Alvarez could face the death penalty.
