LOS ANGELES (AP) — Video released Tuesday shows the dramatic moment firefighters rescued three people and two dogs as thick smoke and flames approached in Southern California.The Los Angeles Fire Department video shows one of its helicopter crew rescuing the group from a mountain peak as a humongous wildfire bore down, coming as close as a football field.The Nov. 9 video was taken as pilots David Nordquist and Joel Smith battled the Woolsey Fire that was raging through the Santa Monica Mountains toward Malibu.The crew was making a water drop when it was asked to rescue the group. The pilots headed that way despite dwindling fuel.With smoke darkening the sky, they hunted for a landing spot among antenna towers, service buildings, cars and vegetation.They finally found a tight and tricky spot on top of a ridge and Smith got out to help the people and their pets, including an English mastiff who was afraid of the helicopter and had to be coaxed by its owner to get on board.Once everyone is safe inside, the pilots take off, with Smith remarking: "Ugh, that was close.""That's enough excitement for me today," he said as they pulled away from the massive smoke plumes.Nordquist responds: "You and me both, brother."Los Angeles fire spokesman Brian Humphrey said none of the people or animals was hurt. The video of their rescue has gotten so much attention, members of the public have been calling the department to make sure everyone was OK and to commend the pilots, he said.The department's Facebook post of the video had more than 1,000 shares.One user wrote that she "kept having to wipe tears watching this!""Brave, brave, brave," she said. 1685

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Mercury Insurance estimated its losses at million from the Woolsey Fire in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, the company announced Tuesday.The loss amount, which will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2018, represents Mercury General Corp.'s best estimate based on the information available, and could change as new information, including any late reporting of claims, becomes available.The company is party to a Catastrophe Reinsurance Treaty covering a wide range of perils effective through June 30. For the 12 months prior to thatdate, the treaty provides 5 million of coverage on a per occurrence basis after covered catastrophe losses exceed the million company retentionlimit, Mercury said.Malibu residents whose properties were still standing were back in their homes Monday after being evacuated from the Woolsey Fire.The fire erupted Nov. 8 in Ventura County and quickly spread into Los Angeles County, charring 96,949 acres, destroying 1,643 structures in both counties and damaging 364 others, with damage assessments completed.Three civilians were killed and three firefighters were injured. The fire was 100 percent contained on Nov. 21. 1193

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A Los Angeles police officer who fatally shot a developmentally disabled man and wounded his parents during a confrontation that erupted while the lawman was off-duty and shopping at a Corona Costco will not face criminal charges, Riverside County's top prosecutor said Wednesday. ``For all of us who handled this case, it's a horrific, tragic situation that occurred,'' District Attorney Mike Hestrin said during a news briefing at the D.A.'s headquarters in downtown Riverside. ``But we had to put our passions and emotions aside and marry the facts with the law. We don't pay attention to public outcries or social media rants.''According to Hestrin, evidence collected from the June 14 shooting at the Costco on North McKinley Street, where 32-year-old Kenneth French was killed, was presented to a 19-member criminal grand jury on Sept. 9. After the jury completed its inquiry, the panel voted against indicting LAPD Officer Salvador Sanchez. The jury's decision was submitted to the D.A.'s office Tuesday.Hestrin said he did not know how jurors voted. There must be at least 12 affirmative votes for an indictment. Hestrin said he will abide by the panel's decision and not independently file a criminal complaint against Sanchez.``This was a fact-driven decision,'' the D.A. said. ``I would file charges if I thought there was a problem with the process. All the evidence we had was presented to the grand jury. I respect and stand by their decision. They did a great job gathering facts. They did what they were supposed to do.''Dale Galipo, the attorney representing the dead man's parents, Russell and Paola French, has repeatedly stated his belief that the Corona Police Department and the D.A.'s office were treating Sanchez deferentially because he's a law enforcement officer, and if anyone other than an off-duty policeman had done the shooting, that person would have been charged at the outset.``I categorically deny the officer has gotten special treatment,'' Hestrin said. ``This is viewed as an officer-involved shooting. Police officers have to respond (to an attack) as if they're on duty. ... The officer believed his life was in danger. He thought he was shot and was looking around for blood, feeling the back of his head.''Hestrin said he was compelled to turn the case over to a grand jury because there were uncooperative witnesses, leaving the D.A.'s office without a complete picture of events, and he believed 19 members of the public impaneled to vet the evidence would come up with the appropriate decision.Galipo has scheduled a news conference in Corona Thursday in response to the D.A.'s and grand jury's actions. The attorney released a statement saying the outcome ``highlights the unequal treatment of police officers compared to other citizens when they shoot people.''``I am confident that we will get justice for Kenneth and his family in the federal civil rights action that will be filed in the near future,'' he said.Corona police Chief George Johnstone said the shooting has ``weighed heavily on the community'' and his sympathies were with the French family. But after his detectives conducted a 12-day investigation, they could not come up with conclusive findings, other than Sanchez believed he was ``acting in self- defense.'' The case was submitted to the D.A.'s office on June 27.Russell and Paola French, along with Galipo, spoke to the media on Aug. 26, urging the D.A.'s office to come to a decision. Russell French told reporters he ``begged (Sanchez) not to shoot,'' telling him ``our son is sick.''Galipo said the parents and son were moving away from the off-duty cop when he opened fire. According to Johnstone, Kenneth French was shot once in the shoulder and twice in the back. Paola French was shot in the back, and her husband was shot in the abdomen, resulting in the loss of a kidney.According to Galipo, the trio had been shopping for a half-hour when they stopped at a food sample booth in the store to nibble on sausages. Why Kenneth French turned physical with Sanchez, shoving him to the floor while the off-duty officer held his 18-month-old son, is unclear, Galipo acknowledged.He said the decedent was a diagnosed schizophrenic and nonverbal, with no history of aggression.Conflicting stories have emerged over the circumstances, with the officer's attorney, David Winslow, insisting his client responded appropriately.Hestrin played a security surveillance videotape from the Costco that partially captured the deadly 7:45 p.m. confrontation. The clips mainly revealed the tail-end of the encounter between French and Sanchez, with the former appearing to be the aggressor, and Sanchez falling somewhere out of frame. Russell French is clearly visible, standing in front of his son to turn him back, at which point both men are struck by gunfire and collapse to the floor of the store.Johnstone said 10 shots were fired by the off-duty lawman. According to Winslow, Sanchez was knocked down and briefly lost consciousness. When he awoke, he found his son next to him, screaming. The attorney said his client ``had no choice but to use deadly force'' in self- defense.Hestrin said there was no evidence that Sanchez ever lost consciousness. The lawman was not hospitalized, and his son was not injured. Sanchez has been placed on paid administrative leave by the LAPD, where he has been a patrolman for seven years, most recently assigned to the Southwest Division. 5468

LOS ANGELES (AP) — California growers are frustrated by an unusually wet spring that has delayed the planting of crops like rice and damaged others including strawberries and wine grapes.Rice grower Kurt Richter said Tuesday that storms forced him to wait weeks to start seeding his land in Colusa County. And rice that he managed to get into the ground is in a "refrigerated state" because of colder than usual temperatures that threaten to reduce yields.Watsonville strawberry farmer Peter Navarro tells the Santa Cruz Sentinel that recent wet weather is disrupting his picking schedule and causing a loss of production.Much of California has seen two to five times more precipitation than is normal for this point in May. The wet trend is expected to continue through the month. 789

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Prosecutors recommended Friday that Oscar-nominated actress Felicity Huffman serve one month behind bars and pay a ,000 fine for her role in the college admissions cheating scandal, according to a filing in Boston federal court. The “Desperate Housewives'' actress pleaded guilty in May to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud for paying ,000 to have a proctor correct her daughter's answers on a college-entrance exam. In their sentencing memorandum filed Friday, prosecutors also recommended that the 56-year-old actress, who earned an Oscar nod for ``Transamerica,'' serve one year of supervised release following her stint in federal custody. Prosecutors suggested in May they would seek as much as four months in prison for Huffman. Huffman's attorneys filed court papers asking that the judge sentence the actress to one year of probation and 250 hours of community service. More than two dozen people submitted letters of support to the court, including Huffman's husband William H. Macy and ``Desperate Housewives'' co-star Eva Longoria.But prosecutors wrote that anything less than a jail term would be insufficient, describing Huffman's conduct as ``deliberate and manifestly criminal,'' according to the sentencing memorandum. The actress will be sentenced Sept. 13 in Boston. ``In the context of this case, neither probation nor home confinement - - in a large home in the Hollywood Hills with an infinity pool -- would constitute meaningful punishment or deter others from committing similar crimes,'' prosecutors wrote. They said that Huffman's ``efforts weren't driven by need or desperation, but by a sense of entitlement, or at least moral cluelessness, facilitated by wealth and insularity.'' In her four-page letter to the judge, Huffman wrote that she was driven to participate in the college admission fraud out of ``desperation to be a good mother. I talked myself into believing that all I was doing was giving my daughter a fair shot.'' She added that she sees ``the irony in that statement now because what I have done is the opposite of fair'' and feels ``a deep and abiding shame over what I have done.'' In his letter, Macy wrote that his wife's only interest now is to ``make amends and help her daughters heal and move on.'' ``Full House'' actress Lori Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, have pleaded not guilty to federal conspiracy and money- laundering charges in the scandal. Dozens of parents and college athletic coaches were implicated in the nationwide bribery scandal, in which wealthy parents paid Newport Beach businessman William Rick Singer thousands of dollars to have their children's entrance-exam scores doctored. In other cases, students were falsely admitted to elite universities as athletic recruits, even though they never had any experience in the sports for which they were being recruited, prosecutors said. 2949
