Riverside police returned to the intersection where a colleague was shot and killed four years ago in an ambush shooting by former Los Angeles officer Christopher Dorner.

On Feb. 7, 2013, Crain was fatally shot and fellow officer Andrew Tachias was injured when they were attacked by ex-Los Angeles Police Department Officer Dorner during his nearly two-week Southern California rampage that ended in a shootout at a burning cabin in the San Bernardino County mountains.

Credit Card Thieves Tricking Innocent Pawns Into Delivering Stolen Goods
Credit card thieves are taking a new approach to moving their stolen goods, authorities say. The thieves are hiring innocent, unsuspecting middlemen to send out the stolen items in order to shield themselves from police. Eriena Munsun of Alhambra sells products online through eBay and Amazon. Over a year ago, she took a part-time job through Craigslist as a professional gift wrapper. “What I did, I just received the package, gift wrapped it, then shipped it for them,” Munsun told KCAL9 Tuesday. She got paid a small fee for each package. Munsun had no idea that the items being sent to her were being bought with stolen credit card numbers.

It's a strategy to mitigate an ongoing problem in D.C., police officers retiring in their 40s and 50s and going elsewhere. “We have an attractive pension program and at the end of 25 years, they're eligible for a nice retirement pension,” said D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson.

LA Reaches Deal With Builder Over Granada Hills Apartments – But Not Everyone's Happy
They said their Granada Hills neighborhood could be destroyed by a behemoth apartment complex that would soar over their low-slung homes and displace family friendly businesses such as a Chuck E. Cheese. Not even an 11th-hour compromise reached with a Los Angeles developer this week to pare down the height, cut the number units and convert them into condominiums could quell the fear of being steamrolled by development.
