Hit-and-Run Driver Slams Into NYPD Officer, Fractures Officer's Leg
A hit-and-run driver slammed into an NYPD officer, fracturing his leg after he'd pulled over another motorist on a Lower East Side street Tuesday, police said. The plainclothes housing officer was driving a vehicle disguised as an Uber when he and his partner pulled over a Mercedes for a headlight violation on E. Houston St. at Ave. D. about 7:45 p.m. As the officers spoke to the driver outside their vehicles, an out-of-control minivan barreled into rear of the officers' car, police sources said. The impact crunched the cop between his own vehicle and the stopped Mercedes, said Ali Latif, the Mercedes driver. “It played out slow in my head. One cop went down and we jumped out of the way," said Latif, 32, an asbestos removal worker on his way home to the Bronx. “While we were talking a black minivan swerved close. It smacked into the rear of the cop's car. It slammed into the officer,” Latif said. “He got pinned hard. It was his legs.”

Officials Seek Girls Across CA Contacted Online By Ex-Marine Charged In 16-Year-Old's Death
Authorities believe a former Marine from Oceanside killed a 16-year-old Central Valley girl he met online last year and left her body in a field, and they're now searching for other girls across the state he contacted on social media. Codi Slayton, 19, appeared in a Madera courtroom Tuesday to face a first-degree murder charge in the death of Josephine Jimenez, according to KTLA sister station KGPE in Fresno. Jimenez was found dead Oct. 22, on an agricultural property in southern Madera County. Her body was in poor condition and dental records had to be used to positively identify her body, Sheriff Jay Varney told KGPE. “To find (a case) like this, where someone with very little or no runaway history ends up deceased, it's very unusual,” Varney said. Jimenez's parents told KGPE they last saw their daughter when she left their Madera home Oct. 13, a Sunday.

Meet The California Firefighters Helping Australia Battle Epic Bush Fires
It was a rare victory for the seasoned Americans battling flames Down Under. Beneath a green eucalyptus canopy in the country's Australian Alps, the continent's tallest mountain range dividing New South Wales and Victoria, some of America's most versatile firefighters, mostly from Southern California, are laboring to help the Australians gain the upper hand against their worst fire season ever. The work, up until Saturday afternoon, had not always been fruitful for these two dozen firefighters, nearly all of them from the Angeles National Forest. Weekly lightning storms have sparked new fires beyond their defensive positions, and even some older fires have spread so quickly they have outrun crews finishing containment lines. But that afternoon, word crackled over the radio that a containment line they'd dug days before had held up, stopping another blaze's progress. It was their first success since arriving in Australia on Jan. 8.

L.A. City Council Votes To Ask MLB To Award 2017, 2018 World Series Titles To Dodgers
The Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to ask the commissioner of baseball to award the Dodgers the 2017 and 2018 World Series titles after Major League Baseball punished the Houston Astros for cheating and continues to investigate the Boston Red Sox for possible misconduct. The resolution, co-sponsored by Councilmen Gil Cedillo and Paul Koretz, originated after Commissioner Rob Manfred released a nine-page report on Jan. 13 detailing how the Astros used technology in violation of baseball rules to steal opposing teams' pitching signs during the 2017 season. Both councilmen said the resolution is symbolic and represents a larger ideological fight. With President Trump impeached and wealthy families facing charges in the college admissions scandal, Koretz said he hopes the resolution sets an example that cheating shouldn't be tolerated.
