Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:01:59 GMT

YUBA CITY, Calif. (AP) — Authorities in Northern California on Monday said they had arrested more than a dozen men from two warring criminal syndicates whose violent rivalry they say was responsible for a mass shooting at a Sikh temple and a brutal sword attack at a parade in 2018.Sutter County District Attorney Jennifer Dupré said the two syndicates were responsible for multiple shootings where 11 people were shot, including five people at a Sikh temple in Stockton last year and two more victims at a temple in Sacramento last month.None of the victims died. Dupré said all of the men arrested are part of California’s Sikh community and were members of one of two rival groups whose feud was fueled by intense personal connections.“This started out as one group, and one faction broke off, and since then they have been rivals trying to outdo each other. Mainly they show up places and try to shoot each other,” Dupré said, comparing it to the U.S. Civil War “where brothers were figh...

The defending champion Avalanche went 10-1-1 down the stretch, and the Oilers — led by three 100-point scorers — ended the regular season on a nine-game winning streak.But the Knights also had an impressive final kick with a 5-0-3 record to set up the first-round series with the Winnipeg Jets. Game 1 is Tuesday night in Las Vegas.“We feel confident in our group, and I think we’ve had a chip on our shoulder the whole year,” Knights center Jack Eichel said. “It’ll be no different heading into playoffs.”Vegas had to be in playoff mode to end the regular season to fend off other challengers in the Pacific Division and in the conference, going all the way its final game...

Tenn. lawmakers’ race to adjourn complicates gun safety push

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:01:59 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee lawmakers on Monday kicked off a rushed effort to adjourn by the end of the week, looking for an exit from a session that has been eclipsed by the fallout of the Republican supermajority expelling two young Black Democrats and a growing push to pass some sort of gun restriction legislation.Just last week, Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson returned to the GOP-dominated General Assembly after being ousted for their role in a pro-gun control demonstration from the House floor. While Republicans intended the move to be punitive, the result has instead thrust Tennessee as the new front in the battle for the future of American democracy, as well as maintained pressure on lawmakers to address gun control in a state known for its lax firearm regulations. Last month, six people were gunned down at a Nashville private school — a tragedy which kicked off a stream of calls for changes to Tennessee’s gun laws, including a ban on assault weapons, tougher back...
