Hit-and-run crash leaves two pedestrians injured, Stockton police say
THIS IS KCRA THREE NEWS AT FOUR. A SACRAMENTO COUNTY GRASS FIRE IS NOW UNDER CONTROL. HOW? CREWS GOT A HANDLE ON THIS ONE. PLUS, CITRUS HEIGHTS POLICE RELEASING VIDEO OF THE MOMENTS LEADING UP TO A SHOOTING INVOLVING A POLICE OFFICER. THE NEW DETAILS WE’RE LEARNING. AND PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP BRINGS BACK HIS TRAVEL BAN. WHEN THE NEW POLICY TAKES EFFECT. AND THE LEGAL CHALLENGES IT COULD FACE. IN SACRAMENTO COUNTY TODAY. FIREFIGHTERS WORKING QUICKLY TO GET A GRASS FIRE UNDER CONTROL IN WILTON, BUT NOT BEFORE THIS FIRE THREATENED NEARBY STRUCTURES AND TRIGGERED EVACUATION ADVISORIES. THANKS FOR JOINING US AT FOUR. I’M LISA GONZALEZ, AND I’M KURTIS MING. THIS FIRE BROKE OUT JUST BEFORE 11 THIS MORNING NEAR COLLINS ROAD AND MANN ROAD. IT’S NO LONGER SPREADING AND CREWS ARE NOW ON SCENE MOPPING UP. KCRA 3’S DENEEKA HILL JOINS US LIVE FROM THE BURN SCAR. DENEEKA. YEAH, THERE ARE STILL SEVERAL CREWS OUT HERE JUST MONITORING THOSE HOT. SINCE FORWARD PROGRESS WAS STOPPED AT 1:00, WE HAVE SEEN THE FLAMES PICK UP AT LEAST THREE TIMES, AND IT’S LIKELY DUE TO THE WIND THAT WE’VE BEEN SEEING OUT HERE. NOW TAKE A LOOK AT THIS VIDEO SHOWING SOME OF THOSE FLAMES FROM EARLIER TODAY. MULTIPLE CREWS OUT HERE BATTLING THE BLAZE. THE DEPUTY FIRE CHIEF WITH THIS FIRE TELLS US THEY GOT A LOT OF HELP FROM SAC METRO FIRE DOING WATER DROPS WITH THEIR HELICOPTER. HE ALSO TELLS ME ONE CHALLENGE BESIDES THE WIND OUT HERE IS ALL THE CATTLE FENCING. HE SAYS THAT FIGHT, THAT THE FIRE CAN MOVE QUICKLY THROUGH THE FENCING, BUT IT CAN BE HARD FOR FIREFIGHTERS TO GET THROUGH THAT. THAT’S PART OF THE REASON FOR ALL THE EXTRA RESOURCES FROM HAROLD WILSON, SACRAMENTO FIRE AND ALL THE OTHER CREWS OUT HERE. INITIALLY, THE FIRE WAS MOVING QUICKLY ACROSS OPEN GROUND AND DRY GRASS DRIVEN BY THE WIND. INITIAL INCIDENT. COMMANDERS ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE FROM THE SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT TO EVACUATE THE RESIDENTS FROM HAGI ROAD BETWEEN DILLARD AND DAVIS. THE FIRE HAS BEEN CONTAINED FORWARD. PROGRESS HAS BEEN STOPPED AT 42 ACRES. IT CAUGHT FIRE ON THAT LITTLE CORNER RIGHT THERE. AND FROM THERE YOU CAN JUST SEE LIKE A WALL OF FIRE. IT WAS IT WAS SCARY FOR SURE. AND ACCORDING TO FIRE CREWS, ONLY ONE STRUCTURE WAS DAMAGED IN THIS. DESTROYED IN THIS? I SHOULD SAY. AND IT APPEARS TO BE SOME SORT OF OUTBUILDING, SOME SORT OF SHED OUT HERE. SO NO INJURIES REPORTED FROM EITHER CIVILIANS OR FIREFIGHTERS IN THIS. AND SO THAT’S GOOD NEWS. BUT WE DO KNOW THAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE OUT HERE FOR SOME QUITE SOME TIME JUST LOOKING AT THESE HOT SPOTS HERE IN ISLETON DENEEKA HILL KCRA 3 NEWS DENEEKA TALK ABOUT THAT BREEZE JUST A LITTLE BIT, BECAUSE WE’RE HEARING IT IN YOUR MICROPHONE AND YOU SAID THE CREWS ARE GOING TO STAY OUT OF THERE, BUT HOW LONG ARE THEY GOING TO STAY OUT THERE. YEAH, I THINK IT IS MAINLY DUE TO THE WIND, AS YOU MENTIONED. YOU CAN HEAR IT IN THE WIND. AND THE THING THAT WE’VE NOTICED IS WE’LL START TO SEE SOME OF THAT WIND PICK UP UNDERNEATH THAT BURN SCAR, AND THAT’S WHEN THEY START TO SPARK THOSE EMBERS UP AGAIN. AND THAT’S WHAT WE MEAN WHEN WE SAY THEY’RE WATCHING THOSE HOT SPOTS. THAT’S WHAT FIRE CREWS ARE MONITORING. THERE WAS ACTUALLY ONE PROBABLY ABOUT 30 MINUTES AGO WHILE WE WERE SITTING IN THE CAR JUST RIGHT HERE BEHIND US. WE’RE STANDING IN ONE OF THOSE NEIGHBORS BACKYARDS. SO FIRE CREWS TELL US THAT THEY’RE GOING TO BE OUT HERE MONITORING THAT. AND ALSO THE NEIGHBORS OUT HERE TELL ME THAT THEY’RE GOING TO BE MONITORING FOR EACH OTHER, LOOKING OUT, JUST MAKING SURE THAT NOTHING ELSE DOES CATCH ON FIRE. BACK OUT HERE. YEAH. WE HAD EARLIER IN THE WEEK THERE IN WOODLAND WHERE THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD CONTAINMENT ON THE FIRE. AND BOY, IT JUST JUMPED WITH A LITTLE BIT OF WIND. SO WE UNDERSTAND. DENEEKA THANK YOU. STANISLAUS COUNTY. NOW FIREFIGHTERS ARE BATTLING A SMALL VEGETATION FIRE. THIS IS BURNING ON FINKE ROAD JUST SOUTH OF PATTERSON. CAL FIRE SHARED THIS PHOTO WITH US. SO FAR IT’S BURNED ABOUT SEVEN ACRES. THERE’S NO WORD ON WHAT MAY HAVE SPARKED SPARKED THIS VEGETATION FIRE EITHER. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL GRASS FIRES ACROSS OUR REGION, AS CURTIS JUST MENTIONED THIS WEEK, AND STATE WILDFIRE STATISTICS ARE SHOWING THE STARTS OF THIS FIRE YEAR IS PROVING MORE READY TO BURN THAN PREVIOUS YEARS. WHILE THE NUMBER OF WILDFIRE REPORTS STATEWIDE ARE SIMILAR TO LAST YEAR, THEY ARE AHEAD OF THE FIVE YEAR AVERAGE FOR THIS DATE. BUT PERHAPS MOST NOTABLY, THE NUMBER OF ACRES ALREADY BURNED IS WAY AHEAD OF LAST YEAR AND THE PREVIOUS FIVE YEAR AVERAGE. CITRUS HEIGHTS POLICE RELEASING VIDEO TODAY SHOWING THE MOMENTS LEADING TO A SHOOTING INVOLVING A POLICE OFFICER. THIS HAPPENED ON APRIL 21ST, AROUND 1030 IN THE MORNING. POLICE RESPONDED TO CALLS ABOUT A MAN WITH A KNIFE ON LICHTON DRIVE. OFFICERS ORDERED THAT MAN TO DROP THE KNIFE, BUT HE TURNED TOWARD THE OFFICER WHILE HOLDING IT. AND THAT’S WHEN THE OFFICER SHOT THE MAN. JOHN ELIAS WENT TO THE HOSPITAL WITH NON-LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES. THE OFFICERS WERE NOT HURT AND ROCKLIN POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING A DEADLY CRASH THAT HAPPENED TODAY AT BASS PRO DRIVE IN SIERRA COLLEGE BOULEVARD. A KCRA THREE VIEWER GAVE US THIS PHOTO. WOW. A DRIVER SLAMMING INTO A WALL, THE CAR BURSTING INTO FLAMES, THE MAN DRIVING DIED. NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED. BASS PRO DRIVE REMAINS CLOSED BETWEEN SIERRA COLLEGE AND SCHREIBER WAY FOR THE INVESTIGATION. TURNING TO THE SERAPHINE TRIAL, THE DAVIS STABBING TRIAL, I SHOULD SAY. SEVERAL PEOPLE WERE CALLED TO THE WITNESS STAND AGAIN TODAY AS PART OF THE REBUTTALS PROCESS IN THE MURDER TRIAL AGAINST CARLOS DOMINGUEZ. THE 22 YEAR OLD IS FACING MURDER AND ATTEMPTED MURDER CHARGES IN THE 2023 DEADLY DAVIS STABBINGS. FOR FIVE WEEKS NOW, THE PROSECUTION AND DEFENSE HAVE BROUGHT IN WITNESSES TO BUILD THEIR ARGUMENTS. PROSECUTORS ARE WORKING TO CONVINCE JURORS THAT DOMINGUEZ INTENDED TO STAB AND KILL DAVID BREAUX. KAREEM ABDUL AND KIMBERLY GUILLORY. GUILLORY WAS THE ONLY SURVIVOR IN THE ATTACKS ON THE OTHER SIDE, THE DEFENSE HAS BEEN TRYING TO PROVE THAT DOMINGUEZ WAS HAVING HIS FIRST PSYCHOTIC BREAK AT THE TIME OF THE STABBINGS. THE ACCUSED KILLER ALSO TOOK THE STAND AND TOOK QUESTIONS FROM HIS DEFENSE AND PROSECUTION. CLOSING ARGUMENTS ARE SET TO TAKE PLACE TOMORROW, AND THE JUDGE ANTICIPATES THIS TO BE A TEN WEEK TRIAL. AND AT PLACER COUNTY, INVESTIGATOR TOOK THE STAND FOR THE THIRD DAY TODAY IN THE MURDER TRIAL AGAINST FORMER MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PITCHER DAN SERAFINI. HE’S CHARGED WITH THE 2021 SHOOTING OF HIS IN-LAWS AND THEIR LAKE TAHOE AREA HOME. GARY SPAUR DIED WHEN HE WOOD SURVIVED WITH SERIOUS INJURIES, BUT SHE LATER TOOK HER OWN LIFE. TODAY, A PLACER COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE INVESTIGATOR READ A LETTER BETWEEN SERAFINI AND HIS ALLEGED ACCOMPLICE, SAMANTHA SCOTT, SENT DURING THEIR TIME IN JAIL. IT WAS A LOVE LETTER OF SORTS, SERAFINI WROTE. AS CRAZY AS IT SOUNDS, I WISH WE HAD MORE COURT DATES JUST SO I COULD SEE YOUR FACE. HE ALSO SAID HE’S WRITING A BOOK IN JAIL TO HELP PAY HIS ATTORNEYS, AND WE HAVE REPORTERS IN EACH OF THESE COURTROOMS FOLLOWING BOTH OF THESE HIGH PROFILE CASES. AND THEY ARE LIVE BLOGGING THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS MINUTE BY MINUTE. YOU CAN FIND THOSE LIVE BLOGS ON OUR WEBSITE BY SEARCHING DOMINGUEZ OR SERAFINI TRIAL. TURNING NOW TO THE NATION’S CAPITAL AND A LIVE LOOK AT THE WHITE HOUSE, WHERE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS REVIVING THE TRAVEL BAN FROM HIS FIRST TERM. THE POLICY AIMS TO RESTRICT CITIZENS FROM CERTAIN COUNTRIES FROM VISITING THE U.S., BUT WITH SOME KEY DIFFERENCES. KCRA 3’S JACKIE DEFUSCO EXPLAINS THE POTENTIAL CHALLENGES. LISA CURTIS TODAY I SPOKE TO TWO ADVOCACY GROUPS THAT WERE INVOLVED IN THE FIRST TERM BATTLE AROUND PRESIDENT TRUMP’S TRAVEL BAN, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE MAJOR CONCERNS AROUND THIS NEW POLICY, BUT THEY ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS TIME AROUND, IT MAY BE MORE DIFFICULT TO CHALLENGE IT IN COURT. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS BRINGING BACK HIS TRAVEL BAN, NOW SET TO TAKE EFFECT ON MONDAY. IT CAN’T COME SOON ENOUGH. FRANKLY, WE WANT TO KEEP BAD PEOPLE OUT OF OUR COUNTRY. THIS MAP FROM OUR HURST DATA. VISUALIZATION TEAM SHOWS CITIZENS FROM 12 COUNTRIES WILL BE BANNED FROM VISITING THE UNITED STATES, AND THOSE FROM SEVEN OTHERS WILL FACE RESTRICTIONS FOLLOWING THE ADMINISTRATION’S SECURITY REVIEW. AMONG THE NATIONAL SECURITY THREATS, THEIR ANALYSIS CONSIDERED ARE THE LARGE SCALE PRESENCE OF TERRORISTS, FAILURE TO COOPERATE ON VISA SECURITY, INABILITY TO VERIFY TRAVELERS IDENTITIES. A SIMILAR POLICY DURING PRESIDENT TRUMP’S FIRST TERM CAUSED CHAOS AT AIRPORTS, AND A CLASH IN THE COURTS. BUT IN THE END, THE SUPREME COURT UPHELD REVISED RESTRICTIONS LARGELY ON MUSLIM MAJORITY COUNTRIES. ADVOCATES INVOLVED IN THAT LEGAL BATTLE TELL US THE NEW PROCLAMATION IMPACTS A WIDER RANGE OF NATIONS AND INCLUDES MORE EXCEPTIONS. THE EXCEPTIONS ARE GREAT, BUT THE OVERALL IMPACT OF THIS POLICY IS IS HARMFUL AND DISASTROUS. THOSE EXCEPTIONS INCLUDE GREEN CARD HOLDERS, DUAL CITIZENS, THOSE SEEKING VISAS THROUGH IMMEDIATE FAMILY CONNECTIONS, ATHLETES COMPETING IN THE OLYMPICS AND WORLD CUP, AND REFUGEES GRANTED ASYLUM. THE FACT THAT THIS ITERATION IS MORE CAREFUL THAN THE PREVIOUS ONE DOESN’T MAKE IT, JUST DOESN’T MAKE IT RIGHT, DOESN’T MAKE IT OKAY BECAUSE IT JUST TARGETS UNJUSTLY AN ENTIRE POPULATION BASED ON THEIR ETHNICITIES BACKGROUNDS. PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID THAT THE LIST OF COUNTRIES SUBJECT TO THESE TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS COULD BE REVISED IF SECURITY IMPROVEMENTS ARE MADE. LIKEWISE, HE SAID THAT NEW COUNTRIES COULD BE ADDED TO THE LIST IF NEW THREATS EMERGE. REPORTING IN WASHINGTON. I’M JACKIE DEFUSCO, KCRA THREE NEWS. AND AGAIN, THAT TRAVEL BAN IS SET TO TAKE EFFECT MONDAY AT 12:01 A.M. TODAY, THE SUPREME COURT REVIVED A WOMAN’S CLAIM THAT SHE WAS DISCRIMINATED AGAINST AT WORK BECAUSE SHE IS STRAIGHT. THE UNANIMOUS RULING COULD NOW MAKE IT EASIER IN SOME PARTS OF THE COUNTRY FOR PEOPLE BELONGING TO MINORITY GROUPS TO BRING REVERSE DISCRIMINATION CLAIMS. IT OVERTURNS PRECEDENT IN SOME LOWER COURTS THAT SAYS SOMEONE FROM A MINORITY GROUP HAS TO MEET A HIGHER BAR THAN SOMEONE FROM A MINORITY GROUP FOR A CASE TO MOVE FORWARD. COMING UP IN A FEW MINUTES AT 415, WE’RE GOING TO BE JOINED BY MCGEORGE SCHOOL OF LAW PROFESSOR TO TALK ABOUT MORE ABOUT THE REVERSE RACISM AND WHAT THE RULING IN THIS CASE MEANS FOR OTHER CASES IN THE FUTURE WHEN IT COMES TO REVERSE DISCRIMINATION. THE SUPREME COURT ALSO RULED IN FAVOR OF CATHOLIC CHURCH AFFILIATED. ONE SECOND. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH RULED. NO, THAT’S I’M SORRY, WE DON’T HAVE THAT. THE SUPREME COURT ALSO RULED IN FAVOR OF CATHOLIC CHURCH AFFILIATED CHARITABLE GROUPS THAT SAYS THEY WERE WRONGLY DENIED RELIGIOUS EXEMPTIONS FROM A WISCONSIN TAX THAT FUNDS UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS. THE JUSTICES RULED UNANIMOUSLY THE STATE’S DECISION UNLAWFULLY DISCRIMINATED AGAINST THE GROUPS ON THE BASIS OF RELIGION. UNDER T
