My team and i are safe. But the event has been cancelled. Ill let you know more when the facts become clear. One thing we do know for sure the left is absolutely terrified of free speech and will do literally anything to shut it down. We condemn in the strongest possible terms the violence and unlawful behavior that was on display and deeply regret that those tactics will now overshadow the efforts to engage in legitimate and lawful protest against the performers presence and perspectives. While yiannopoulos views, tactics and rhetoric are profoundly contrary to our own, we are bound by the constitution, the law, our values and the campuss principles of community to enable Free Expression across the full spectrum of opinion and perspective.

It happened in alameda and left people who live on the normally quiet street pretty shaken up. Kron4s Haaziq Madyun has the story. Somebody broke in the house, somebody got shotnext thing we knew he was laying out on the ground, they we reviving himthe deadly Home Invasion occurred at around 10 45 am on the 2000 block of buena vista avenue in the quiet east bay town of alamedasurprising to me, very surprising, everybody walks their kids up and down the street, their dogs, we never have this problem investigators say it appears an off duty Contra Costa County deputy armed with a gun confronted a male on near or inside the property. Police say those facts are still unclear at this pointits either a burglary or a Home Invasion we have to sort all that outalameda police had residents shelter in place while their swat unit was called in to make sure there were no additional suspects in the area. We do get our fair share of everything, we have a population of 7374thousand people, so youre going to get a little bit of everything but yeah this not normal for our citythe suspect was transported to a local hospital where he later died from his injuries. His identity is being withheld pending notification of next of kin. The Contra Costa CountySheriffs Office is not releasing the name of the deputy involved in this shooting at this time. However a witness told us off camera that the deputy is the son of the man who owns the residence where the Home Invasion occurred. In alameda Haaziq Madyun kron4news another big story we are closely tracking president Donald Trumps first 100 days in office. Today the president took an unexpected trip to Dover Air Force base in delaware. For the return of the remains of a navy seal killed in yemen. This is video of President Trump and his daughter ivanka taking off this morning from washington. Chief petty officer William Ryan Owens died of wounds suffered during a weekend raid against al qaeda. The 36yearold was the only Us Service Member to die in the operation. And also today President Trump officially has a new secretary of state. The u. S. Senate approved former exxon mobil ceo rex tillerson. Now, secretary tillerson, was cleared with a vote of 56 to 43. With all republicans in support. And most democrats voting against him. Also today Supreme Court nominee neil gorsuch making his first trip to capitol hill today President Trumps choice to replace Justice Antonin Scalia is stepping into a highly charged partisan battle. It could end with Republican Leaders tearing up the Senate Rulebook and invoking whats known as the nuclear option. That refers to blowing up one of the senates longest standing traditions. Abandoning the 60 vote super majority needed to confirm nominations in the past. President trump told Senate Majority leader mitch mcconnell, if thats what it takes to put neil gorsuch on the Supreme Court, go for it. If we end up with the same gridlock that theyve had in washington for the last, longer than 8 years in all fairness to president obama, a lot longer than 8 years but if we end up with that gridlock i would say, if you can, mitch, go nuclear. Senator mcconnell gave no hint of his intentions as he posed with neil gorsuch and Vice President pence. A planned meeting with minority leader Chuck Schumer was postponed, after schumer said he needed more time to go over the nominees record. We in the senate have a constitutional duty to examine his record robustly, exhaustively and comprehensivel y. And then advise and consent if we see fit. We have a responsibility to reject if we do not. Democrats are still smarting over mcconnells block of Barack ObamasCourt Nominee merrick garland, activists like Filmmaker Michael Moore are pressuring them to filibuster against the nomination. Under current rules. Stopping a filibuster requires 60 votes. To avoid a permanent rule change. The nuclear option. Majority leader mcconnell will need to persuade eight democrats to cross the aisle. Some are ready to do that, if you want the third branch of government to work, then youve got to have a ninemember Supreme Court. So if republicans did something, and now democrats are going to do something, two wrongs dont make a right. Some digging in. if i conclude that he is out of the mainstream on issues like privacy rights and Womens Health care like row v. Wade or worker or consumer protection, i will use every tool at my disposal to block his nomination. By some accounts, as many as seven Democratic Senators have signalled their support for neil gorsuch. The First Committee hearing is scheduled for six weeks from now. Republicans are hoping for confirmation before the Supreme Courts june recess. The integrity of evidence. Thats what took center stage in the sierra lamar murder trial today. The 15yearold teen vanished on her way to school in morgan hill back in 2012. But lawyers for the suspect Antolin Garcia torres. Have questioned whether there is really any proof sierra lamar is dead. Kron4s rob fladeboe was in court for day three of the trial. aaaaaa the wife of the orlando nightclub shooter appeared in an Oakland Court room today. Noor salaman is the widow of omar mateen the man who killed 49 people a the pulse nightclub. The mother who now lives with family in the east bay had previously been indicted by a federal grand jury. Tonight we are learning more about why the government says salman admitted she knew her husband was going to conduct the attack. And helped provide a cover up for his family that fateful night. However, her defense team says, noor salaman does not have the mental capability to do that. They claim she was a special Education Student in school and is not able to plot and plan a calculated.

Right now they know of more than 50 people actually affected. But believe the real number could be much higher. I would guess we are talking hundreds and hundreds. Because we only bring forth what we catch so if a client gets held two days longer than hes supposed and doesnt notify anyone then that just goes awaytuesday the public defender and someone from the District Attorneys Office argued in front of a judge. But this time. They were both on the same side. Trying to get the problem fixed. Or go back to the old system. The judge is expected to issue a ruling next weekthe executive officer of Alameda County superior courts says they problem is that old system is at least 40 years old. And not supported anymore. We dont have a back to go to and just go forward and say where can we go next if we cant make this system work for us whats our plan b the problem is plan b will mostly likely take money.
