Maybe 100 rounds were fired on the day in question. It was only by the grace of god that more people didnt die. He realizes that and has repented for what happened.

The California Supreme Court says judges can refuse to reduce the sentences of three strike inmates despite recent ballot measures designed to bring down the prison population. In a ruling yesterday the court said that judges are not required to reduce sentences even those that qualify under prop 36 passed in 2012 or prop 47 passed last year. The ballot measures allow three strike inmates to ask for reduced sentences if the third strike was nonviolent. Judges can reduce the reduction if they believe it poses a danger to public safety.

Then the four tops will perform. The entire show will be broadcast live on pbs starting at 5 00 our time. As fourth of july celebrations get underway, officials are reminding people about the dangers of fireworks. Alex savidge is here. It is not just about fireworks related injuries. That is a big issue. A lot of people end up in the emergency room this time of year. Fireworks can lead to house fires and wildfires given the dry condition thats we have right now in our state. That is why the fourth of july is a time to be extra careful as you celebrate. Statistics from the National FirePrevention Association and the u. S. Consumer Products Safety Commission show just how dangerous fireworks can be around the fourth. Here is one of the demonstrations we often see. In 2013, fireworks sparked 15,600 fires with most of them starting outside of the home. Last year that number bumped up to 18,000 fires. About half of all fires reported around the fourth of july were caused by fireworks. And then there is that human toll. People getting hurt from playing with fireworks. Hospital Emergency Rooms tend to treat a lot more patients with burns this time of year. Many of them are young children. Also teenagers who have accidents obviously with fireworks. 10,000 people are hospitalized each year for fourth of July Fireworks injuries. And how about this, of all of the types of fireworks, sparklers cause the most injuries around this time of year. Of course important to point out possessing illegal fireworks, anything that explodes or flies into the air or shoots across the ground obviously against the law. It can lead to big fines and the potential for jail time, especially if someone gets hurt. A lot of people say we only do sparklers. I dont know because like it is the safest one. But they burn so hot apparently that they cause the most burn injuries and they are the most dangerous type of firework at this time of year. I was interested to learn that. A good reminder. Thanks, alex. Sure thing. The fourth of july can be a difficult time for our veterans. Those suffering from post Traumatic Stress disorder, it can take them back to the battle zone the sounds can be a greater trigger than an entire Fireworks Shows. Many will do what they can do to avoid fireworks altogether. If you know someone who is has signs of ptsd while watching fireworks, encourage them to seek help. Cats and dogs have better hearing than humans. The fireworks can scare pets. For them, this is the worst holiday. Some shelters estimate hundreds of thousands of dogs and cats across the country will be frightened and run away from home tonight. Today is nathans hot dog eating concert in new york.

Lets give you a few what is going on outside for today. The pattern not shifting a lot. I want to point out one item worth noting. Perhaps by tomorrow High Pressure over southern california. And the upper level winds of circulation moving right around it. It moves like this. Dragging in some of that monsoonal moisture all the way from the desert southwest. It will eventually climb into california. The bay area may pick up mid and high level clouds. The sierra could actually pick up the possibility of a little more moisture and instability and maybe even thunderstorms rolling that direction. So if youre thinking of getting away to tahoe in the coming days, something to be aware of. For us tomorrow you may notice a different type of cloud cover. Not all of the fog and low cloud cover we have been dealing with. But the mid and high level clouds. We have a low off of the coastline here. That is helping to provide us with the ma rain layer and the on shore breeze. We will have sunny skies later today.

The best advice is to wear a life jacket and dont drink. When it comes to parents bringing their children to the water, officials recommend keeping them in a very close eye on them. Yeah. I guess tubing with infants is becoming a new thing. But maybe not the most wise thing. Infants are really their muscles are not very developed.

Crews have been busy with rescues on the river. Reporter melinda has more on how to stay safe. Reporter consolidated Fire District has made 46 rescues this year. Nine of them just yesterday.
