To stop measures of what she called "price gouging" by pharmaceutical companies, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton proposed a $250 monthly cap on out-of-pocket prescription drug costs.

Clinton rolled out the plan in Iowa as a way to encourage the use of generic drugs and to end pharmaceutical companies' ability to write off consumer-directed advertising as a business expense. 

"We need to protect hard-working Americans here at home from excessive costs. Too often these drugs cost a fortune," she said in Des Moines, adding drug companies keep the profits for themselves while "shifting the cost to families."

The presidential candidate's comments come after the news of a pharmaceutical CEO raised the price of Daraprim to $750 from $13.50. 

After years of seeing San Diego’s sidewalks ranked among the worst of the nation’s largest municipalities, the city's finally got more money and a strategic plan for repairs.

There are 78,000 locations of damage along 5,000 miles of sidewalks – more than 15 per mile.

Almost half the curb ramps are classified as "non-compliant."

It took college students working under paid internships 14 months to document them all and enter them into a special database.

Total cost, according to a report on which city councilmembers were briefed Tuesday, is $1 million.

“The excuses are gone now,” said Liam Dillon, who’s covered the problems extensively for Voice of San Diego. "Before, it was 'Hey, we don't know what's wrong'. Which was valid; they didn't know what was wrong with the sidewalks -- other than people tripping and falling over them. But now they know exactly where all the problems are, so now they know where to go to fix them."

Folks interviewed Tuesday by NBC 7 applauded widespread citizens’ complaints and news media reporting on the problems that helped overcome bureaucratic inertia at city hall and prioritize funding to make upgrades.

"With San Diego being such a popular city, I would think they’d put a little more effort into taking care of it,” said Mission Valley resident Reasey Chucks.

"At the end of the day,” added Ocean Beach resident Jason LeBlanc, “there are probably a hundred things they're focused on, trying to get done, and until something becomes the 'squeaky wheel' it never gets the oil.”

LeBlanc, a vacation rentals landlord, pointed out that untended sidewalks can give tourists unfavorable impressions of the city: “So that's one of the reasons it's so important that people are proactively putting these issues in front of the folks that make the decisions."

Another major consideration is the city's legal liability. When people trip, fall down and hurt themselves, that can result in injury claims -- and hefty payouts in the worst cases.

Now there’s nearly $6.5 million the city treasury allocated over the next year to repair about 9 percent of San Diego's substandard sidewalks.

Given that annual funding level going forward, it’ll take 11 years to catch up with the 'non-compliant' inventory, and build sidewalks in neighborhoods where none have existed.

Meantime, more will go on the backlog list.

But by then, the city will no longer be so far behind the curve.

A new ad-cum-documentary premiered Tuesday night for about 100 people and a handful of reporters at a movie theater in the suburbs of Washington D.C. But it wasn’t a Hollywood blockbuster - instead, “Citizen Carly” is a campaign ad-cum-documentary from the pro-Carly Fiorina Super PAC, NBC News reported.

The film is an hour long and has all the makings of a true Hollywood film - high production values, a dramatic storyline. It is even narrated by James Woods, the actor who endorsed the Republican presidential candidate.

Super PAC adviser Keith Appell hopes the film will get people acquainted with Fiorina on a more “intimate level” versus what they’ve seen in debates and on the campaign trail. Producers have used family photographs, home movies and media clippings - as well as personal interviews with Fiorina, family and former coworkers.

The film’s narrative features the story of her marriage to husband Frank, her battle with breast cancer, and her rise and fall in the business world.

"That's what people need to know the most about, because her experience, her achievements, are so central to what qualify her for president," Appell said.

Fiorina has drawn criticism since her performance at the second GOP debate for her record as CEO of Hewlett-Packard, having been forced out amidst the company's growing financial struggles. Appell acknowledged that the super PAC film was aimed partly at making Fiorina's case on her business record, and will outline a number of the company’s achievements that happened under her management.

The film will premiere in theaters in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.

A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit Tuesday against the U.S. government that accused Border Patrol agents of using excessive force when they shot a Taser into a man’s car, igniting an explosion that killed him.

U.S. District Court Judge Larry Alan Burns ruled Tuesday that law enforcement acted reasonably on March 15, 2012, the day Alex Martin, 25, died.

Just after midnight, a Border Patrol agent spotted a car driving the wrong way on Interstate 8 in Pine Valley. Suspecting the driver was a smuggler or driving under the influence, the agent pursued the vehicle and watched as it made a U-turn to head in the correct direction.

In their lawsuit, Martin’s family says it may not have been Martin who was driving the wrong way, for the agent briefly lost track of the vehicle.

According to the judge’s ruling, the agent in an unmarked patrol car later came upon Martin’s car pulled over on the side of the freeway, so he turned off his lights, followed Martin and watched as the driver ran a stop sign at the Pine Valley exit before starting to get back on the freeway.

At that point, two other Border Patrol units, including a marked vehicle, converged on Martin. They turned on their emergency lights and forced him to pull over. An agent ordered him to get out of the car, and all three agents soon had their guns pointed at him.

The Martin family claims the officials did not clearly identify themselves as law enforcement, which caused Martin to become afraid and drive quickly from the scene.

Judge Burns wrote in his ruling that “even if the agents did not display badges or verbally identify themselves as law enforcement, the lights and marked vehicle would have made it clear.”

Martin led agents on a chase on side streets and a narrow, two-lane highway. According to dashcam footage from a Border Patrol vehicle, Martin crossed double yellow lines into oncoming traffic, nearly collided head-on with a car and accelerated through blind curves.

Even as he approached a Border Patrol checkpoint, the driver refused to slow down. Agents threw out spike strips to stop him, and shortly past the checkpoint, agents forced Martin off the road.

The dashcam video shows an agent rush up to Martin’s car and try the passenger door, which was locked. Agents ordered Martin to show his hands and get out of the car, and while he initially complied by holding up his hands, he soon moved his hands to the car’s center console, “as if looking for something there,” court documents say.

According to Martin’s family, he may have been confused about agents’ contradictory orders. Agents took it as a sign he was not following their commands.

In response, an agent grabbed his flashlight, broke the front passenger window and almost immediately fired his Taser at Martin. Suddenly, flames erupted from car, tossing the agent back and killing Martin.

In their lawsuit, the slain driver’s family asserts that agents used excessive force in the events that led to Martin’s death. But Judge Burns ruled that after the agents saw Martin’s reckless driving and attempt to evade authorities, they had a right to assume he posed a hazard to the public and to themselves.

“Defendants’ use of some unmarked vehicles and failure to display badges or identify themselves as clearly as they might does play a part in this analysis, but it pales in comparison to Martin’s culpability,” the judge wrote.

The Martin family’s attorney Gene Iredale believes gasoline spilled inside the car. When the Border Patrol agent fired his Taser, it sparked the fumes and created an explosion. Iredale argues that the agent should have smelled the fumes and avoided using the Taser. Because did not, he violated Martin’s Fourth Amendment rights.

However, Burns said the agent would not have had time to check for flammables before using the weapon.

“Clearly, none of [the agents] were expecting the Taser to cause an explosion,” Burns wrote. “The Fourth Amendment can only be violated by the intentional use of force.” He said there is no evidence the fire was intentional or even negligent.

Therefore, the judge decided to dismiss all nine claims. Iredale has already filed a notice of appeal on behalf of the Martin family.

Before his death, Martin had been driving in a rental car for 22 hours on his way to San Diego from Texas. His family says he may have gotten turned around and needed directions back to the freeway.

Border Patrol argued that his behavior was unusual. They pointed to a case two months earlier, when Martin pleaded no contest to a charge of driving while intoxicated with an open container in the car. In that incident, he had fled from police and had a gun in his car, officials say.

Martin could not drive a vehicle unless it was equipped with a breathalyzer, according to Border Patrol, but the vehicle he rented in Texas did not have one. Burns determined that why Martin was on the freeway on March 15 did not have any bearing on this case.
 

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump sat down with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday and said he's putting an end to the topic of President Barack Obama’s birthplace.

"I'm gonna throw you up a big fat meatball for you to hit out of the park right now ... Barack Obama, born in the United States?" Colbert asked.

"I don't talk about it anymore. I talk about jobs, I talk about our veterans being horribly treated — I just don't discuss it anymore," Trump told Colbert in response to a question while on CBS' "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" Tuesday.

Trump began making the assertion that Obama wasn’t born in the U.S. in 2011. He came under fire on Thursday at a rally when he did not correct an audience member who claimed Obama is a Muslim.

Trump’s controversial speeches and rhetoric have given comics and late night talk show hosts like Colbert a lot of material.

"I want to thank you, not only for being here, I want to thank you for running for president," Colbert told Trump. "I'm not going to say this stuff writes itself, but you certainly do deliver it on time every day."

The discovery of nooses hanging on a tree following a Black Lives Matter rally at the University of Delaware has sparked a police investigation.

The two nooses were found outside Mitchell Hall at the University of Delaware’s main campus in Newark, Delaware Tuesday night.

University of Delaware students held a Black Lives Matter demonstration outside Mitchell Hall Monday night around 6:15 p.m. in response to a campus speaking event featuring journalist and television commentator Katie Pavlich. A day later, the nooses were found in the same area where the demonstration took place.

Responding police officers took down the nooses and say they are investigating the incident as a hate crime. University of Delaware students plan to hold another rally outside Mitchell Hall Wednesday afternoon around 4:30 p.m. as the investigation continues.

An alert was sent to University of Delaware students regarding the incident. Investigators are asking anyone who noticed anything suspicious between dusk and 10 p.m. Tuesday outside Mitchell Hall to contact police at 302-831-2222.
 

For four innings on Tuesday night, Tyson Ross looked like a guy about to pitch a no-hitter.

He was making the entire Giants lineup look foolish. A calm breeze started to pass through Petco Park thanks to all the whiffs by flailing batters with the words San Francisco emblazoned on their jersey.

Ross struck out the first four Giants he faced and 8 of the first 9 outs recorded by the visitors were strikeouts.

Ross finished with 11 K’s in 6 innings of work. He also collected his 200th strikeout of the season. That means Ross and James Shields are the 1st pair of Padres to fan at least 200 batters in the same year.

And then in the bottom of the 4th inning, the rhythm of the game changed. There was a stoppage in play when Justin Upton tried to steal 2nd base and was called out.

Replays implied that Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford missed applying the tag on Upton as he slid towards the bag, but despite a review, the call stood to the disbelief of the Padres fans in attendance.

With the game still scoreless, San Francisco catcher Trevor Brown picked the 5th inning to earn his first major league hit. His RBI double helped the Giants take the lead after a single by Marlon Byrd ended Ross’s bid for a no-no.

Ross allowed just two runs on four hits over six innings. In all the Giants struck out 16 times and still won.

The difference in the game was Angel Pagan's two run homer in the 7th inning off struggling reliever Kevin Quackenbush.

The homer barely cleared Matt Kemp's glove as it bounced off the top of the right-field wall to give San Francisco the brief 4-1 advantage.

Only 3 Padres had hits on Tuesday. Yangervis Solarte, Cory Spangenberg and pinch hitter Brett Wallace provided two hits apiece but that was the extent of the entire offense.

Spangenberg and Wallace each launched a solo shot to help the cause but the Giants hung on and kept their slim chances of making the wild card alive for the time being.

The Pirates and Cubs enter Wednesday on the verge of clinched playoff berths this week.

Pittsburgh can clinch a spot with a win Wednesday or one Giants loss.

The Cubs are two games behind the Pirates for the second wild card spot.

San Diego’s final homestand of the season continues Wednesday when former Padres ace Jake Peavy opposes current Friars pitcher Andrew Cashner.
 

This may make the task of grocery shopping more palatable: Barons Market is set to host a beer and food pairing event next week that will make the stores’ backrooms look more like speakeasies.

On Sept. 30, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., the small Southern California grocery chain will host its “Barons Backroom Beer Pairing,” a tasting event that includes food samples and sips from Pizza Port Brewing Company.

That evening, each of Baron Market’s five southern California locations – Point Loma, Rancho Bernardo, Alpine, Temecula and Wildomar – will transform their loading docks and stock rooms into quaint speakeasies for beer and food lovers.

For $15 per person, patrons can enjoy harvest-inspired snacks and suds in support of local breweries and Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Organizers say Barons Market will donate all proceeds from ticket sales to two organizations that support those living with cancer, Michelle’s Place in Riverside County and Cancer Angels in San Diego County.

The Backroom Beer Pairings menu includes organic chickpea soup paired with Pizza Port’s Chronic Amber Ale, as well as Goat cheese-stuffed sweet petite peppers accompanied by the brewery’s Ponto Session IPA.

Pizza Port’s Swami’s IPA will be paired with Point Reyes blue cheese and roast beef bites, while sips of Kook Double IPA are paired with Indian lentil and bean dip with pickled jalapeno and Tacupeto chips. For something sweet, Barons carrot cake will be served alongside Pizza Port’s Pick Six Hoppy Pilsner.

Organizers say tickets to the pairing event with a purpose can be purchased online. Space is limited at each location, so it’s best to buy tickets ahead of time.

According to the Cancer Angels website, there are more than 12,000 people in San Diego County currently going through cancer treatment – 3,000 of them stage IV. The nonprofit organization provides financial help to San Diegans struggling with the costs of cancer treatment.

Again, proceeds from this event will benefit Cancer Angels and Michelle’s Place.

Barons Market is known for its large selection of organic, natural and specialty foods and fresh produce from local farms. Stores also boast hundreds of gluten-free items, a hot soup bar, fresh salad bar and antipasto bar and hundreds of microbrews showcasing San Diego’s craft beer culture. The newest store in Alpine opened in January 2014.
 

A Carlsbad woman who killed her husband was allegedly so "out of it" a former neighbor didn't want his child around her, the man testified Tuesday.

Julie Harper admits she killed her husband, Jason, on Aug. 27, 2012 but has said she did it because she feared for her safety. After an acquittal on first-degree murder charges, Harper now faces a retrial on second-degree murder charges.

Jurors heard from Richard Norton who said he hung out with Jason several times a week. He said they would barbeque as their kids played or would go surfing.

Norton testified that he noticed a change in Julie over the time that they were neighbors.

“We carpooled with one another and in that time I noticed a change in Julie Harper and I noticed that she was really out of it,” he said. “I didn’t allow carpooling with my daughter any longer.”
He also said he didn’t know Julie had an illness until he heard it from another neighbor.

Defense attorney Paul Pfingst said Norton spoke with Julie maybe three or four times during the entire four years that they knew each other.

Harper has said she shot her husband out of fear that he would kill or rape her.

This is the second trial for Julie Harper.

Last October, a jury acquitted her on first-degree murder charges but was deadlocked on the second-degree murder and manslaughter counts.

Prosecutors decided to retry her on the lesser charges.

A 24-year-old man has been charged in connection with punching a 78-year-old shopper in the face after the victim protested about how many samples the man had taken at a Nutella waffle tasting station at a Costco in Burbank, police said.

Derrick Gharabighi, of Burbank, has been charged with felony elder abuse and personal infliction of great bodily injury against a person over 70 years of age, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

The suspect is accused of striking a man in the face Sunday morning when the man told him he shouldn't take so many waffles after the alleged assailant took multiple samples off the table at the Costco at 1051 West Burbank Boulevard, officials said.

The victim suffered a cut above his left eye and swelling around his face and was hospitalized, officials said.

Gharabighi was booked into jail with bail set at $50,000.

It was not immediately clear whether he had an attorney.

The San Diego Unified School Board's vice president announced Tuesday he will ask for an independent investigation into accusations against Board President Marne Foster.

Board Vice President John Lee Evans brought the issue before three other board members at a special, closed-door session Tuesday after abuse of power allegations arose against Foster.

At a meeting next week, Evans said he will "ask for the board to authorize an independent investigation into two other matters with regard to the conduct of trustee Foster. One, the recent fundraiser for her sons. Two, issues surrounding a claim form that was filed with the district."

Additionally, the board has authorized SDUSD Superintendent Cindy Marten to release "all pertinent information" regarding what has gone on at Foster's son's school over the past two to three years — a rare move given it is personnel information.

"With the release of this information and an investigation, we can make sure the public has all the facts," Evans said.

It’s unclear which agency would look into the allegations if an independent investigation is approved. Before Evan's announcement, Foster watched as many of her supporters spoke to the board.

Among them was Foster's mother, a longtime educator herself, who said, "I think you know what she's accomplished, what she's contributed to this district."

Others said they have complete faith in Foster's integrity and commitment to their children.

However, opponents like education reform advocate Sally Smith are calling for Foster to resign from the school board.

“Is Marne Foster representing herself, or is she representing the school board? That is the problem,” said Smith. “The public is confused right now. She has intermingled her personal and campaign business, school district business. She cannot be an effective president.”

Foster was not available for comment on Tuesday night.

The board president is accused of causing a shake-up at the School of Creative and Performing Arts (SCPA) after her son received a negative college evaluation from one of the counselors.

Emails obtained by the Voice of San Diego show Foster messaged a top district official in December 2013 to demand a copy of the college evaluation and to request it be replaced with a positive one.

Another counselor soon wrote a new, positive recommendation, which again Foster was allowed to see.

After Foster brought her concerns to the district officials, the counselor who wrote the original recommendation was suspended, and the school’s principal, Mitzi Lizarraga, was removed from her position by the end of the school year.

Lizarraga told the Voice of San Diego she is positive that her removal was Foster’s doing.

Board policy states: “The board will not give direction to any employee other than the superintendent and any other employee who may report directly to the board.”

Superintendent Marten told NBC 7 last week that Foster was within her rights as a parent to bring her concerns to SCPA officials. According to Marten, Foster’s opinions about SCPA staff had no more impact on the district’s decisions than any other parent’s.

Another allegation claims Foster was behind a $250,000 complaint filed with the school district last year, alleging the negative evaluation caused the family to lose tuition and to need counseling for Foster’s teen, according to the Voice of San Diego.

The complaint was filed in the name of John Marsh, the father of Foster’s son. However, Marsh told the Voice of San Diego that Foster brought him a blank complaint form and told him to sign it, which he did.

Finally, Foster also came under fire for a July 25 private fundraiser she held to raise money for her two sons’ college tuitions. The event was held at the Neighborhood House Association headquarters — a nonprofit with a district contract that Foster voted on for the past two years.

An attendee said guests included contractors with financial dealings with the district and employees who may seek favors in return. Foster has since apologized for the fundraiser, calling it a “mistake of the heart,” and pledged to return all donations given by anyone who works for or does business with the district.

Yogi Berra, the Hall of Fame catcher renowned as much for his dizzying malapropisms as his record 10 World Series championships with the New York Yankees, has died. He was 90.

Berra died of natural causes Tuesday at his home in New Jersey, according to Dave Kaplan, the director of the Yogi Berra Museum.

Short, squat and with a homely mug, Berra was a legendary Yankee who helped the team reach 14 World Series during his 18 seasons in the Bronx.

Berra played in more World Series games than any other major leaguer, and was a three-time American League Most Valuable Player.

But his name appears almost as often in Bartlett's Famous Quotations as it does in baseball's record book.

A 44-year-old man who bludgeoned an elephant seal pup to death near downtown San Diego said the animal “needed to be put out of its misery,” witnesses testified on Tuesday.

Roy Lee Miller was bound over for trial and faces an animal cruelty charge that, if convicted, could land him behind bars for eight years.

Witness Mark Balentine said he and defendant Roy Lee Miller, both transients, had been drinking a bottle of vodka last February and were extremely inebriated. That's when they heard a nearby seal squawking. Miller thought the animal was in pain, the witness said.

“It was like a baby screaming. It was horrible,” Balentine said.

Elephant seals are not common in San Diego and make loud, high-pitched calls that can resemble distress calls to those not familiar with the species.

Miller then approached the seal pup, which was at Spanish Landing near the San Diego International Airport, and repeatedly hit it over the head with a rock, prosecutors contend.

Harbor police officers said Miller admitted to next day to killing the seal.

It appeared the animal was in pain and alive after the initial alleged attack. A marine biologist who examined the seal after its death noted substantial bruising on the seal’s head, and at least seven fractures to its skull.

"All indications from activities in the field are the animals respond to a painful reaction to,” said biologist Dorian Houser. “They certainly respond to needle sticks when we have to draw blood so yes they very much have the ability to feel and are aware of pain."

Miller’s defense attorney contends his client really thought he was putting the seal out of its misery.

Prosecutors pointed out, however, that Miller had a cellphone with him, but didn’t call police or SeaWorld.

The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department has launched an internal investigation after the United Against Police Terror San Diego group received a hate email that appears to be from an sheriff's employee's Internet Protocol (IP) address.

The group, which has been an outspoken critic of police brutality, said they were sent an email that contained multiple profanities in the subject line and called Ferguson protesters “animals.”

SDSO Lt. Marco Garmo said the department is investigating what his agency calls a personnel matter.

“It appears an email came from a sheriff’s IP address. We are taking this very seriously, and an internal investigation is underway to determine where, how and who the email came from," Garmo said. "As such, we are unable to provide any additional information at this time, but we are taking this matter very seriously.”

Garmo clarified that he is not confirming the email definitely came from someone within the law enforcement agency, but said he can confirm SDSO understands the allegation being made against it.

United Against Police Terror San Diego member Catherine Mendonça read some of the offensive email aloud at a news conference Tuesday and announced the group is filing a complaint against the sheriff's department.

The email says, in part, “The police aren’t the problem. It’s the criminals out there victimizing the real citizens of the country that are the problem.”

Much of the email is too profane to broadcast on TV or copy in an article.

Mendonça said perhaps the most troubling part of the email was where the writer described Ferguson protesters as “animals.”

“It just perpetuates that ‘lesser of a being’ (stereotype), and it highlights how much racism is still present to this day,” Mendonça said. “There’s still hundreds of years of racism that we still need to overcome.”

United Against Police Terror San Diego filed its complaint Tuesday under penalty of perjury.

NBC 7 verified that the email pictured in the complaint was sent to the group’s Gmail account.

Internal and consultant IT experts told NBC 7 that Ip-address spoofing is a possibility, but it is less likely in this case, given the format of how the email was generated from a WordPress blog comment section.

When pressed on whether the SDSO was considering the possibility that the IP address was impersonated, a spokeswoman said, "Once we were made aware of the complaint, an internal investigation was opened. As such, we cannot comment on the specifics and we also cannot comment on personnel matters.”

The email contains multiple spelling errors, however, and several sources within the SDSO pointed out that their computers check spelling automatically.

A top-secret report shows the U.S. bugged the hotel rooms and telephones of former Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and his entire delegation in 2007, NBC News reported.

The document was obtained by NBC News - and showed an extensive electronic surveillance, which included listening to thousands of conversations and learning the “social networks” of Iran’s leadership.

The three-page document, called “Tips for a Successful Quick Reaction Capability,” outlined what happened when the NSA was asked by the Bush administration for blanket surveillance of Ahmadinejad’s trip to the UNGA.

The National Security Agency declined to comment on the document or the surveillance of the 2007 Iranian delegation. A spokesperson for U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said he had no way to confirm whether or not the U.S. had spied on the Iranian.

FBI investigators have reportedly recovered work-related and personal emails from Hillary Clinton's time as secretary of state that she claimed had been deleted from a private computer server, NBC News reported.

Clinton has said that she sent and received about 60,000 emails during her four years in the Obama administration, about half of which were deleted after her aides determined which were personal and which were work related. The others were turned over to the State Department.

The frontrunner for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination has asserted that she had the right under government rules to decide which emails were private and delete them, a claim backed up by the Justice Department earlier this month.

But officials told Bloomberg that the FBI had managed to salvage some of the emails deleted by her staff, raising the prospect that Clinton's correspondence could eventually become public.  

Young patients who are too sick to leave the hospital got a little walk on the wild side, courtesy of two Magellanic penguins.

SeaWorld caretakers brought little avian ambassadors Pete and Penny, as well as costumed characters, to Rady Children’s Hospital Tuesday.

During the annual “mini-walk,” the penguins led patients — many of whom were in wheelchairs or hooked up to IV poles — through the oncology and hematology unit and into Carley’s Magical Garden at the Acute Care Pavilion.

There, children got to pet the flightless birds and enjoy a lighter day.

Hillary Clinton is blasting Donald Trump's "ludicrous" claim that she was the first to question President Barack Obama's birthplace.

Trump tweeted the claim on Tuesday night: "Just remember, the birther movement was started by Hillary Clinton in 2008. She was all in!"

In 2008, rumors sparked that Clinton supporters were swapping email chains raising questions about Obama's heritage. 

"This is so ludicrous," Clinton told Don Lemon, who asked her about the 2008 claims.

A trolley and truck collided in El Cajon Wednesday, leaving at least one person seriously injured, officials confirmed.

The crash happened just before 12:45 p.m. at 1825 N. Marshall Ave. Officials with Heartland Fire and Rescue and the El Cajon Police Department were called to the scene. Officials said one person had suffered major injuries, though no further details were immediately released.

The crash is under investigation. Check back for updates.
