Authorities are investigating a vandalism and fire at a Buddhist temple in the Little Tokyo section of downtown Los Angeles. Surveillance video caught a man jumping the security fences at the Higashi Honganji Buddhist Temple on Thursday night, smashing a 12-foot-high glass window with a rock, yanking a pair of metallic lanterns off their concrete bases and lighting two wooden lantern stands on fire, the temple's head priest told the Los Angeles Times.
Feb. 24—SANTA FE — The fences around the state Capitol are staying up — probably for the rest of the session. Raúl Burciaga, director of the Legislative Council Service, said he consulted with Democratic and Republican legislative leaders in both chambers and with State Police late Tuesday. "State Police agreed with my recommendation that security protocols remain in place," Burciaga said .
