A sheared hydrant sent water up to 70 feet above a strip mall, leaving water falling onto the roofs of businesses and causing some roofs to collapse, Oceanside Police Lt. Matt Cole said. 

The incident happened at 1:15 p.m. Saturday at Vista Way near Avocado, when police responded to a reported hit-and-run collision involving a woman driving a black Prius.

Approximately 100 people were evacuated from the strip mall building, which houses multiple businesses, at the time of the crash. 

The car struck a fire hydrant and water shot into the air on the 2100 block of Vista Way, police said. 

As water collected on the rooftops, some collapsed and suffered extensive structural damage. Eight businesses were affected by the damage. 

Cell phone video of the incident shows the water jetting up 50 to 70 feet above the buildings as crews rush to stop the shooting water. 

"And there was just water," said one store owner of a pizza shop. "The next two stores, they were pushing it out with brooms and mopes and squigees. Thank God we didn't get that much water."

OFD, Public Works and City Building representatives were on scene working to assess the damage and collect information.  

Fire crews opened each suite to let out the water, which was a foot deep in some places.

After the hydrant was shut down officials determined the building’s fire sprinkler system had been damaged in the collapse causing more flooding.

Due to electrocution risk power in the building had to be shut off.

Police are still investigating the original car accident as well.

Police in Southern California are looking for a man who swung a golf club at a victim's head multiple times while wearing a "Scream" mask.

A 31-year-old man was at Kelly Street Park in San Diego when, for an unknown reason, a man wearing a white mask charged him. The suspect hit the victim in the head with a golf club at least two times.

The suspect fled the scene and police have yet to find him. He is described as a man in his 40s and was last seen wearing a white shirt and black pants. 

San Diego Police said the incident happened at 2 p.m. Saturday on the 2100 block of Jacobs Way in the Linda Vista neighborhood. 

The victim suffered non life-threatening lacerations on the front and back of his head but went home after the incident.

San Diego Police's Western Division is investigating. 

No further information was immediately available. 

A news tip led to a wheelchair—that was stolen from a Texas teenager with disabilites— to be returned to its owner Friday night, police said.

Monday afternoon, the teen, Eduardo Morales, and his mother, Norma, took off from their home on Redding Court in South Arlington, Texas, to go run errands and decided to leave Morales' wheelchair near their driveway. That way, his mother said, she could put him right back in it when they got home.

"We left it out for a couple of hours, never thinking that someone was going to take it," Norma Morales said. "And when we came home, it was gone."

Arlington police released several surveillance photos connected to this case Friday that were taken from a neighbor's surveillance camera. By late Friday night after the story had been on the news, the wheelchair was returned.

Saturday afternoon, Morales' mother asked NBCDFW to pass along this message to the viewers who shared her family's story: 

“I am very grateful to have such a generous, kindhearted community of people that were willing to help and donate to get Eddie a new wheelchair! Eddie and I want to say thank you to everybody! Not only to viewers but to APD and all the local media that were able to help in recuperating his wheelchair. Eddie will be back in his chair as soon as I wash it. We are very happy campers!”

There are a lot of things that Morales could be angry or sad about. He has a physical disability that requires him to use a wheelchair and he is unable to speak. But instead, the 17-year-old, who loves cowboys and rodeos, chooses to be happy.

"Oh, my goodness, he is very special," his mother said. "He is very special to everybody – his school, home, family, everything."

That's why it's hard for her to understand how anyone could take anything from him.

"Oh, I cried," Norma Morales said. "I cried because (his wheelchair) is like his two legs. He doesn't have a wheelchair now."

On its Facebook page Saturday morning, Arlington police said the family is not pressing charges in the case.

A New York woman was arrested after police say she deliberately let her two pit bulls pounce on a man, an attack that sent him to the hospital with several bites and a severed ear, police said Saturday.

Cynthia Oliver, 55, was charged with several counts of assault and reckless endangerment after the Friday night incident near her Belmont Avenue residence in the Bronx, investigators said. Oliver was released on $35,000 bond at her arraignment, but it was unclear whether she had an attorney who could comment on the charges.

Oliver was holding her two pit bulls on leashes, but let go of the restraints, according to the criminal complaint.  Police said Oliver deliberately let go of the leashes, but they didn't say why she released the dogs.

The two dogs attacked 62-year-old Francesco Bove, who at the time was walking to a nearby church where he worked, said his son, Anthony Bove, adding that his father is an artist and animal lover.

The two dogs mauled Bove, leaving him with a severed right ear and lacerations to his chest and arms.

Anthony Bove said a priest who arrived at the scene offered to administer his father the last rites.

A 46-year-old man who attempted to help Bove was also bit and suffered lacerations to an arm. Both men were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

The vicious attack was captured on video by a witness (WARNING: the video shows graphic violence). Several people can be seen coming to Bove's aid as they struggled to get the dogs away from him. Bove screamed for help, witnesses said.

"People were trying, but they was also scared of getting too close because they didn't wan to get attacked," Renee Norris told NBC 4 New York.

Firefighters eventually sprayed the dogs with water to keep them at bay. A bystander was then able to leash them.

The dogs were removed and are now in the care of Animal Care and Control.

A suspicious package that caused an evacuation in Carlsbad has been deemd a hoax device made to look like a bomb according to officials. It has been determined to not be a threat.

Shoppers were evacuated from Westfield Mall in Carlsbad after the suspicious package was reported.

The Carlsbad Police decided the device was significant enough to call in San Diego Sheriff’s Bomb personnel. The device was described as four by one inches and black with wires sticking out of it. 

Bomb personnel evaulated the device with an x-ray machine and eventually destroyed it with a water cannon just after 6 pm.

The device was placed between a sink and the mirror in a men's restroom.

The incident happened shortly before 6 p.m. at the mall, located at 2525 El Camino Real.

An Oregon man faces charges after authorities say he urinated on passengers on a flight from Anchorage to Portland, Oregon.

Jeff Rubin, 27, was arrested early Friday after JetBlue Flight 47 arrived at Portland International Airport, KOIN-TV reported.

A police report says passengers and airline employees told officers Rubin had been sleeping for most of the flight. About 30 minutes before landing, they said, he stood up and began urinating through the crack between the seats in front of him — and onto the passengers sitting there.

The report says he lost his balance and fell backward, splashing urine on passengers, seats and luggage.

The cabin remained pretty calm, said Suzanna Caldwell, an Alaska Dispatch News reporter who happened to be sitting two rows in front of Rubin.

"It's not like anyone was screaming. I didn't even realize anything had happened until the flight attendants came up to me and told me police were going to come onboard," she told the Anchorage newspaper for a story on its website Friday.

Caldwell, who said she was not urinated on, said officers had to wake up Rubin when they got on board since he appeared to have fallen asleep again.

An officer then began interviewing passengers.

"At one point, the officer was like, 'Who got peed on?'" Caldwell said.

Rubin spent about five hours in jail and was released on his own recognizance. He faces charges of criminal mischief and offensive littering.

Rubin did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.

3,346 feet below Del Mar methane is seeping from the ocean floor. The rare habitat, 30 miles off the coast, is populated by oddly adapted creatures.

Some areas have dense clam beds, others have sediments covered with bacterial mats while glass sponges living on carbonite rocks occupy other areas. Large fish such as Longspine Thornyheads and Pacific Dover sole, lithodid crabs, sablefish, skates, and hagfish have also been found.

“Finding a methane seep in our own backyard is a great opportunity for Scripps,” said Lisa Levin, a Scripps professor and study coauthor in a statement. “There is the potential for more frequent visits and long-term observations, and for greater engagement of the public and students. My hope is that more people will learn about chemosynthesis-based ecosystems like this methane seep. As the ocean warms it is likely that more methane will be released from the seafloor, and seep ecosystems will expand.”

Chemical tests show that the methane is probably produced by bacteria that eat sediments under the seafloor.

Scripps grad students discovered the ‘Del Mar Seep’ in 2012, and the next year a group of students went back to the site to collect samples with a remotely operated vehicle.

A more recent research cruise allowed Scripps scientists to uncover the findings of experiments left two year before. They hope to learn how the habitat reacts to human or other intervention.

According to scientists finding this seep will help researchers connect it to others in oceans around the world.
 

Camp Pendleton will hold a ceremony honoring fallen service members from the Korean War as part of the 65th anniversary of the landing on Inchon Tuesday.

Marines from the 1st Marine Division, 2nd Marine Division and reserve units landed at Inchon in the early morning hours of Sept. 15, 1950.

Led by Marines from the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, they came ashore at “Green Beach” in Wolmi-Do. The Marines captured the island by noon with only 14 casualties.

The ceremony, a wreath-laying, bell remembrance, 21-rifle salute and static display, will be at the Pacific Views Center on the base Tuesday morning.
 

San Diego Police have issued an Amber Alert for a missing 4-year-old boy they believe was abducted near Mission Bay.

Wesley Hilaire was reported missing just after dark at 7:44 p.m. on the 3000 block of N Mission Bay Drive in San Diego near the Hilton. As of 1:41 a.m., police did not have a license plate number for a suspect vehicle. 

"If anybody sees him, just take him from whoever he's with," his mother, Daniesha Hilaire, told NBC7 through tears. "He was with my sister at the beach and I was at work and I got a text saying that they couldn't find him at the beach."

Wesley, who was wearing no shirt and red shorts, was last seen with an adult man who police believe may have abducted him, police said. Wesley is 4 feet 2 inches tall and weighs approximately 40 pounds, police said. He has brown eyes and black hair.

His mother, Daniesha, said he was with his aunt playing with other children in the water. They later got out to go to the restroom and a witness at the scene said they saw a suspect walk the boy away.

Police described the suspect as a man in his 40s, approximately 6 feet tall, 235 pounds with short black hair. He was last seen wearing a gray t-shirt, dark blue jeans with a hole in the right knee and flip flops. 

Search crews were looking in the water and in surrounding areas, but when they failed to find him in the water, they turned the scene into a crime scene. A helicopter and police dogs have been called in to aid with the search.

Police ask anyone with information to dial 911 or call the San Diego Police at (619)-531-2000

Austria's chancellor criticized Hungary for its handling of the refugee crisis on Saturday, likening the country's policies to the Nazi persecution of Jews during the Holocaust.

"Sticking refugees in trains and sending them somewhere completely different to where they think they're going reminds us of the darkest chapter of our continent's history," Chancellor Werner Faymann said in an interview with German news magazine Der Spiegel.

Thousands of refugees are crossing the border to Hungary, an eastern outpost of Europe's passport-free Schengen zone, every day. On Sept. 3, hundreds of migrants boarded a train in Budapest in the belief that they were heading to Austria.

However, the train was stopped 22 miles west of the capital in the town of Bicske, where Hungary has a camp for asylum seekers.
 

 Officials are investigating after a 26-year-old man was stabbed to death at a business in unincorporated El Cajon.

The incident happened on the 100 block of Sierra Vista Drive at 2:51 a.m. Saturday when San Diego Sheriff’s deputies from the Alpine substation were called about trouble at the location. 

The initial investigation revealed several men got into an argument which quickly turned into a fight involving various types of weapons. The fight happened just outside Stray Dogs Motorcycle Club.

"When you get that call, you hear your family member's in the trauma unit, the first thing on your mind is oh my god you know. Are they going to survive?" " Laurie Peacock, mom of a hurt club member told NBC. Her son was hit twice int he head with a bat.

Peacock says her son is the vice-president of the club and her son is a member. She also says the Stray Dogs is different from other motorcycle clubs.

"They get pretty rowdy at night, but it seemed like a nice club, nice group of guys," said Holly Caddle who lives nearby.

 The 26-year old was stabbed during the fight and was taken to the hospital, but later died.

Several other men involved were also treated for non-life threatening injuries.

The identity of the man who was killed is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the Homicide Detail at (858) 974-2321/after hours at (858) 565-5200.

The search for a missing 20-year-old man with diabetes has turned into a race against time as the family marks two weeks since he was reported missing. 

Elijah "Bear" Diaz was last seen Saturday, Aug. 29 near his home in El Cajon, east of San Diego. He was believed to be carrying only one week's worth of insulin, but has been missing for double that time. 

"There's so many aspects of his health we're so worried about," Lelanie Thompson, his mom, told NBC 7. The family said they have hired private investigator Trish Gray to help find their son. 

Gray calls the disappearance is "highly suspicious."

As a result of his type 1 Diabetes, Diaz has injured feet, leaving him on crutches or in a wheelchair. Gray says someone must have picked up Diaz. 

"There are some things he wouldn't have left without," Gray told NBC7. 

"He left his toothbrush, he left his eye glasses, he left his charger," she said, later adding one glove, one sandal and a big screen television are all missing from his room. 

"A couple guys would have had to handle that [television] to get it out of here," Thompson said. 

As more and more days pass, family members are left with many questions, wondering why Elijah left, how he left and with who. 

"I just want them to come forward and let us know if he's OK," his mother told NBC7. 

"If you're alright, call and let us know," Charles Curo, his grandfather, said. 

Elijah was last seen wearing white baseball shorts and a gray sleeveless shirt. Diaz is approximately 5 feet 10 inches and weighs 110 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes. 

El Cajon Police told NBC 7 they do not have any new updates on the case. 

Anyone with tips regarding Elijah's disappearance is asked to please contact the El Cajon Police Department at (619) 579-3311.

Fire crews are struggling to contain an explosive wildfire that started Saturday afternoon in Lake County and swelled to 50,000 acres and growing.

The Associated Press reported that one person was killed and more than 400 homes and businesses were destroyed.

The fire — which residents and firefighters are calling the Valley Fire — spread to Napa County, destroyed structures and prompted over 10,000 evacuations, according to Cal Fire. Officials reported zero percent containment early Sunday. The fire grew from 40,000 to 50,000 acres during the day, officials said.

Cal Fire spokesman Daniel Berlant said wind gusts that reached up to 30 miles per hour sent embers raining down on homes and made it hard for firefighters to stop the Lake County blaze from advancing. 

There's no official tally of the destruction yet because firefighters are focused on new evacuation orders and on residents' safety, but at least 100 homes have been destroyed, he said. 

"This has been a tragic reminder to us of the dangers this drought is posing," Berlant said. 

Roughly 5,000 area residences are without power, Cal Fire officials said of the fire, which on Saturday sent four firefighters to the hospital with second-degree burns. Its cause is under investigation.

One thousand firefighters from Cal Fire, South Lake County Fire Protection District, California Highway Patrol and Lake County Sheriff's Department had responded to the blaze as of Sunday morning. They were assisted by 125 fire engines, four air tankers, 16 dozers and 15 water tenders.

Also on Sunday, Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency in Lake and Napa counties, helping free up funding and resources in the firefight. A statement from Brown's office said the move, which follows "damage to highways and other infrastructure," hastens the removal of debris and waives fees to replace birth certificates and other documents.

Evacuations are in effect for residents in areas of Lake and Napa counties. A mandatory evacuation has been called for the entire Pope Valley as well as communities of Clearlake Riviera, Riviera West, Cobb, Seigler Canyon, Loch Lomond, Middletown and Hidden Valley Lake, according to Cal Fire. 

Meanwhile, people have been evacuated from Butts Canyon Road to the Napa County line, including Berryessa Estates, and along Highway 29 from Tubbs Lane to highways 29 and 53 in Lower Lake. Evacuations have also been ordered on High Valley, Bottle Rock and Big Canyon roads.

Residents from Point Lakeview to Soda Bay were also evacuated just before 11 a.m. Sunday.

Cal Fire spokeperson David Shew, who is in Middletown, told NBC News that the Valley Fire is one of the worst he's seen in terms of devastation in the 28 years he has been with Cal Fire.

Cars leaving Middletown were dodging smoldering telephone poles and driving through billowing smoke on Sunday. Residents said there were burned buildings in downtown, but the heaviest damage was farther out, where homes and apartment complexes were destroyed.

Javier Negrete told The Associated Press that parts of Middletown have burned to the ground.

Teri Molini, who lives on the edge of town, said she started seeing flames within hours of having heard about the fire. She left with her pug and spent the night in Calistoga, about 17 miles away.

George Escalona told The Associated Press that parts of his town, including his home, have burned to the ground.

In some areas of town "there is nothing but burned houses, burned cars,'' Escalano said, adding that he has nothing left but the clothes he was wearing.

The 60-square-mile fire erupted in Lake County — about 100 miles north of San Francisco — around 1:20 p.m. Saturday off High Valley Road and Bottle Rock Road in Cobb and rapidly chewed through brush and trees parched from several years of drought, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said. 

Entire towns as well as residents along a 35-mile stretch of highway were evacuated. Fire officials reported at 7:35 p.m. that the fire had burned 10,000 acres. They increased the number to 25,000 acres at 10:40 p.m.

"Our hearts are breaking right now," Lake County OES spokeswoman Jill Ruzicka said. She said some people in the emergency operations center had to leave to take care of loved ones.

The Red Cross set up evacuation centers at the Napa County Fairgrounds in Calistoga — where Petaluma Animal Services is caring for evacuated pets — and Clearlake Senior Center. The Kelseyville Presbyterian Church was unable to accept any more people, Lake County officials tweeted at 10:29 p.m. Nearly 300 people spent the night in the shelters, Red Cross officials said in a statement.

Another center was opened Sunday at Kelseyville High School, officials said, adding that people can stop by for food, water, medicine, cleaning supplies and support.  

"Firefighters are doing heroic work in trying to contain the fire and keep residents safe, and it’s our honor to support them in every way possible," Jeff Baumgartner, executive director of the American Red Cross of the California Northwest, said in the statement. "We are working closely with the county officials to make sure all sheltering needs are met, and are prepared to scale up our support if needed."

Hundreds of firefighters worked through the night protecting homes, according to Cal Fire spokesman Daniel Berlant. Berlant tweeted that the firefighters who suffered burns are currently in stable condition at UC Davis Medical Center.

A light rain started falling in the area early Sunday morning, but according to social media reports, it wasn't doing much to help douse the fire. Lake County is close to where the Rocky Fire and Wragg Fire burned in the past months. The two fires combined burned almost 80,000 acres.

Residents took to social media Saturday night to let family, friends and the public know they were safe. Photos on Twitter and Instagram showed an inferno burning down houses, trees, signboards and other structures.

A Facebook group set up for those affected by the Valley Fire had 228 members as of 4 a.m. Sunday. Messages poured in about emergency housing, food, animal and child care and missing people. Some people also wrote about the destruction of the popular Harbin Hot Springs while encouraging others to donate to Valley Fire relief. 

To the east, firefighters battled a blaze about 70 miles southeast of Sacramento that exploded to more than 101 square miles in four days, turning the grassy, tree-studded Sierra Nevada foothills an eerie white.

Crews increased containment to 20 percent despite a thick layer of smoke that kept air tankers and helicopters from flying Saturday. The fire, which broke out on Wednesday, destroyed 81 homes, 51 outbuildings and was threatening about 6,400 more. More than 3,850 firefighters were assigned to the blaze, and more we expected to join the firefight. 

"I lost my business — it's all burned up — my shop, my house, 28 years of living,'' said Joe Thomas, who lives near the community of Mountain Ranch. "I got to start all over. It's depressing.''

Thomas, who runs a tractor dealership and repair business, said he and his wife grabbed papers, his work computer, photos and their four dogs. But they left a goat, five ducks, six rabbits and more than 30 chickens behind.

"I turned the pens open and turned them lose," he said. "I just couldn't gather them up. All we want to do is go home. It's miserable.''

Meanwhile, new evacuation orders were issued Saturday for the largest wildfire in the state, threatening to sweep through an ancient grove of Giant Sequoia trees. The fire, sparked by lightning on July 31, has charred 201 square miles, the U.S. Forest Service said.

Firefighters cleared brush around the Grant Grove and set prescribed burns to keep the flames from overrunning it. By Saturday, the backfiring and monitoring efforts appeared to have helped protect the treasured trees, the Fresno Bee reported.

The grove is named for the towering General Grant tree that stands 268 feet tall. There are dozens of Sequoia groves in the Sierra Nevada, and some trees are 3,000 years old.

Contaminated water that was once stored next to defunct nuclear reactors at Japan's crippled Fukushima Nuclear Power plant was discharged into the sea for the first time on Monday, its owner said, NBC News reported.

At 10 a.m. local time (1 a.m. ET) the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) said it had started discharging 850 tons of treated water, after securing the agreement from government agencies and local fisherman.

A recently-installed water purification system that removes radioactive materials like cesium and strontium had allowed them to remove the water safely, they said.

Law enforcement in the St. Louis region should "minimize use of militarized weaponry," according to a 197-page report entitled "Forward Through Ferguson: A Path Toward Racial Equity" released early Monday, NBC News reported.

"Direct the state to cease providing, and local departments to cease using, militarized weaponry" that is not proportional to the situation, the report stated.

The report examines the causes of the the unrest following the death of Michael Brown, 18, who was shot dead by a white officer in Ferguson, Missouri, on August 9, 2014. It was compiled by a 16-member commission appointed by Gov. Jay Nixon.

Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who went to jail for five nights for refusing to sign same-sex marriage licenses, returned to work Monday and said she is not going to interfere with her deputies issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

“Her problem is being the authorizing agent for the union, not that it is happening in her office,” her attorney, Horatio “Harry” Mihet, told reporters at news conference Monday, adding that Davis "just wants to go back to serving the people of Rowan County."

Davis questioned the validity of licenses issued without her authority, but the governor and the county attorney have said that licenses issued to gay couples by the deputies will be valid.

The first half of the 2015 season opener between the Chargers and Lions could not have gone much worse for the home team. The second half could not have gone much better.

San Diego overcame an 18-point deficit to win 33-28 and start 1-0 for the first time under 3rd year head coach Mike McCoy.

The Lions took their opening drive 80 yards on eight plays, scoring a TD on rookie running back Ameer Abdullah's 24-yard run. Detroit scored again in the second quarter when Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers tried to force a short pass to wide receiver Keenan Allen in traffic. The pass popped off Allen and right to Detroit safety Glover Quinn who ran it 31 yards for another score. The Lions got on the board again when the Chargers defense missed a coverage and tight end Eric Ebron was open for a 18-yard TD. That put the Lions up 21-3.

The Bolts scored on a Danny Woodhead 9-yard TD run but when Rivers was picked off again in the end zone at the end of the half the Qualcomm Stadium crowd rained boos down on the field.

A different team walked out of the tunnel to start the second half.

The Chargers defense suddenly went in to lockdown mode, forcing two turnovers and pitching a shutout over almost the final 30 minutes. Melvin Ingram forced the first miscue, hammering Stafford as he threw. The pass flew straight up and was intercepted by rookie Kyle Emanuel (who had his first career sack and INT in his first career NFL game). Stafford was picked off again by Chargers defensive back Patrick Robinson, who returned it to the 16 yard line. Three plays later Rivers found wide receiver Stevie Johnson for a score to cut the Lions lead to 21-20.

The Bolts completed the comeback when Rivers hit tight end Ladarius Green, who started in place of the suspended Antonio Gates, for a 13-yard touchdown to put San Diego up 26-21.

The Chargers put it away when Woodhead scored again on a 1-yard run late in the 4th quarter. His score was set up by a series of tremendous catches by Allen, who finished with 15 grabs for 166 yards. Rivers overcame the two picks to go 35-42 for 404 yards.

The Lions got in the end zone with 1:04 to play on a 21-yard catch by running back Theo Riddick. Their onside kick attempt was recovered by the Chargers, who ran out the clock in Victory Formation.

Next week the Chargers hit the road to face the Bengals on Cininnati.
 

A woman from Clairemont was found floating in Mission Bay Sunday morning.

Marie Donson, 77, was last seen the morning of September 8 when she left her home. Her daughter, who lives with her, became concerned when she didn’t return later that day.
