Some San Diego communities reported temperatures at or near freezing overnight as chilly weather blew through the county Tuesday.

The storm system that created all the winds that caused damage in parts of San Diego has pushed to the east and in its place are winds from the cold, dry desert.

“I’m seeing widespread temperatures in the 40s and a few 30s out there,” NBC 7 Meteorologist Jodi Kodesh said.

“Bundling up but dressing in layers would be a good idea,” Kodesh added.

Pine Valley area saw temperatures near 32 degrees late Monday.

Couples cuddled against what they described as the biting cold outside the Viejas Casino.

Nearly everyone had winter coats and hats on while walking outside.

There were no weather advisories or warnings issued for the region Tuesday.

“It’s the time of year when these temperatures become common,” said Kodesh. “It’s just a little shocking to us, considering how uncomfortably warm this summer and start to fall were.”

An intoxicated woman was restrained on a flight from London to Boston after trying to open an exit door on Tuesday, according to the Federal Aviation Administration and Massachusetts State Police.

British Airways Flight 213 from London-Heathrow landed at Boston's Logan International Airport on Tuesday afternoon. Police said the woman, 32-year-old Polish citizen Kamila Dolniak, was restrained and taken into custody. Investigators said they believe she was intoxicated.

Some passengers closest to the woman said she was agitated from the beginning.

“First impression, I thought the woman was having a panic attack," one passenger said. "They gave here three seats to lie down, then I thought she was actually having a seizure.”

Boston resident Debby O’Leary said the woman had wanted to smoke a vapor cigarette and tried to go to the bathroom with it but was told she couldn’t.

According to a statement from the Federal Aviation Administration, the woman tried to open an exit door and the "cockpit is secure." Massachusetts State Police initially said the woman might have tried to enter the cockpit, but tweeted a correction later Tuesday afternoon.

Police said the woman has no known connection to terrorism.

"The investigation to determine the facts and circumstances of the incident is ongoing by Troop F of the Massachusetts State Police, the Joint Terrorism Task Force, Customs, and the TSA," state police said in a statement Tuesday afternoon.

Dolniak has been processed by Customs and Border Protection and is being charged with interfering with a flight crew and is expected to be arraigned in East Boston District Court on Wednesday morning.

"Our customers and crew deserve to have a safe and enjoyable flight and we do not tolerate abusive behavior. Our crew have requested that police meet the flight in Boston due to an unruly customer on board," British Airways said in a statement Tuesday.

 Four antibodies that target weak spots on the HIV virus may pave the way for scientists to create a vaccine for the virus, scientists at the Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) announced Tuesday.

The study, published in the November issue of ‘Immunity’, looks at the four prototype antibodies that target specific weak spots on the HIV virus.

“This study is an example of how we can learn from natural infection and translate that information into vaccine development,” said TSRI Research Associate Raiees Andrabi, the first author of the study, in a statement. “This is an important advance in the field of antibody-based HIV vaccine development.”

The four antibodies scientists examined targeted the V2 apex, a spot on the surface of about 90 percent of known HIV virus strains.

“This region helps stabilize the virus, so it’s an important area to target if you want to neutralize HIV,” said Andrabi in a statement.

Unlike other antibodies, two of those four antibodies bound with the V2 apex without having to mutilate, scientists said, demonstrating that our body’s immune system could develop antibodies to neutralize many strains of HIV with prompting, according to a new study.

If scientists were to build a vaccine targeting the V2 apex, they said, the vaccine may be able to protect against many known strains of the HIV virus.

The immune system naturally produces a small number of these antibodies, and in the study, scientists said they successfully mimicked the structure of those antibodies.

The next step is testing the candidates for the vaccine in animals.

Mourners gathered on Tuesday night to remember a 23-year-old Southern California college student killed in the Paris terror attacks.

The candlelight vigil for Nohemi Gonzalez, a senior from El Monte majoring in industrial design at Cal State Long Beach, took place on the front lawn at Whittier High School, her former high school.

"Nohemi was special in so many ways and an example in so many ways for students today to be self-supporting, self-motivated, to think differently, to pursue her goals and her dreams is something that is relevant, important and can inspire other people," he said.

Gonzalez was one of 129 people killed in Friday's attacks. She was killed while having dinner with friends at a popular bistro, La Belle Equipe, in one of a series of bomb and gun attacks. She was one of 17 CSULB students attending a college of design in Paris as part of a semester abroad program.

Gonzalez graduated from the high school about 10 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles in 2010. Gonzalez was remembered by mourners at a vigil Sunday in the CSULB ballroom as a "little firecracker" whose creativity and spirit touched everyone she met.

"She was so excited to be in Paris," said Martin Herman, the chair of the university's design department. "May Nohemi’s voice, bright spirit, playfulness, ideals and hope continue to inspire and illuminate the department of design, her university family and all those she touched during her all too short time with us."

About 500 people gathered at the CSULB event, including University President Jane Close Conoley, who told mourners that her death was "an assault on our hearts."

"We miss her today and we'll miss her forever," Conoley said.

A Philadelphia police officer was arrested after he allegedly attacked a worker and a woman outside a Dunkin' Donuts earlier this year.

Investigators say a male worker was applying salt with a shopping cart outside the Dunkin' Donuts on the 1600 block of East Wadsworth Avenue back on Feb. 14. The worker lost control of the cart and it struck the vehicle of Officer Joseph Marion, who was off-duty at the time, police said.

Marion, 39, allegedly got out of his vehicle and attacked the worker. A woman nearby tried to intervene and Marion attacked her as well, police said.

The Department’s Internal Affairs Bureau as well as the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office launched an investigation which led to Marion’s arrest. He is charged with simple assault and recklessly endangering another person.

Marion is a 4-year veteran of the Philadelphia Police Department and assigned to the 25th District. He was suspended for 30 days with the intent to dismiss.
 

Two separate Air France flights that were diverted because of anonymous bomb threats were cleared by authorities early Wednesday morning.

The FBI told NBC News there was no evidence to suggest that the threat was credible. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police also said there was no evidence of an explosive device after searching the plane and luggage.

Air France said in a statement Tuesday that the airline received anonymous called-in threats and diverted the flights — one leaving Washington Dulles and one leaving LAX — for precautionary measures.

The flight traveling from Los Angeles at around 4:00 p.m. PT to Paris with 473 people aboard deplaned in Salt Lake City, Utah, for a "security issue," the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed with NBC Owned Television Stations. 

Local authorities inspected the planes, passengers and luggage.

Keith Rosso, a passenger on the plane from Los Angeles, was traveling with his fiancé to Paris.

People on the plane were eating two hours into the flight when attendants moved “pretty quickly" to collect everyone's food trays, informing passengers to prepare for an emergency landing, Rosso told NBC Los Angeles.

“The situation was handled very well,” Rosso's fiance, Liz Papera told NBC Los Angeles. The crew made an announcement that we said they were highly trained in these kind of "emergencies," Papera said.

The second flight, traveling from Washington Dulles to Paris, had its 234 passengers exit the plane in Halifax, Canada.

Halifax International Airport wrote on its Facebook that the plane from D.C. to Paris landed safely in Nova Scotia.

Passengers and crew members were shuttled off to hotels for the night after the plane was cleared by authorities, the Halifax airport tweeted.

The emergency landings come amid high security measures being taken by France and the United States after a terrorists swarmed Paris on Friday night left 129 dead and hundreds wounded.

Police are trying to find the person who shot a two men in San Diego's Stockton neighborhood Tuesday evening.

Witnesses say the victims were emerging from Lew's Market at 33rd Street and Imperial Avenue when a man opened fire on them at 7:30 p.m.

One victim was shot in the head, and the other took a shot to the hand.

Both were taken to the hospital. San Diego police said at the scene, there appeared to be "brain matter on the ground." 

The suspect is still outstanding.

Investigators have not said if this shooting is gang-related.

The first major winter storm of the season swept through the Southwest, as dangerous winds whipped across Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Kansas on Tuesday, NBC News reported.

Heavy blowing snow and ice Tuesday morning shut down miles of Interstate in Colorado, Kansas and New Mexico. Hundreds of flights were delayed and others canceled at Denver International Airport Tuesday, NBC News reported. 

While most of the worst snow had ended by Tuesday night, "we've still got plenty of cold air continuing to come in," said Danielle Banks, a meteorologist for The Weather Channel. Several locations in eastern Colorado and western Kansas remained under blizzard warnings.

Flash flood warnings were in effect Tuesday night for northeast Arkansas, while watches extended from southern Illinois all the way down through Louisiana and Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
 

A 3-year-old San Diego girl who received a stem cell infusion of her own umbilical cord blood, banked at birth, is giving new hope to parents of children with brain injuries.

Doctors have used cord blood for decades to help with blood disorders and some other diseases, but now a handful of new studies show those same cells can travel up to baby’s brain and heal injured areas.

The ramifications could impact everything from autism to cerebral palsy.

Ava Johnson, born with cerebral palsy, had limited use of the entire left side of her body. She didn’t use her left hand and couldn’t walk at 18 months until an experimental treatment changed everything, according to her parents.

“Our daughter is walking, and she was told by doctors originally that she wouldn’t walk,” said Cathrine Johnson.

None of this would have been possible if Cathrine and her husband Jeremy had not followed the advice of doctors and banked Ava's cord blood with the world’s largest private bank, the Cord Blood Registry.

Cord blood banking isn’t for everyone. In most cases the blood will serve as an insurance policy which never gets used.

An NBC investigation uncovered how just 100 families out of the half million samples at Cord Blood Registry actually benefitted from their own stem cells.

But in Ava’s case, with abnormalities detected before birth, a maternal fetal medicine specialist strongly encouraged it, especially after hearing about a clinical study out of Duke University.

“I felt that because that study was ongoing and they’d already published some pretty dramatic encouraging results, I felt her baby might benefit at some point from a cord blood infusion,” said Holly Casele, M.D.

The Johnsons, who estimate Ava’s two infusions cost $25,000 with travel expenses, didn’t have the money, but they took loans and borrowed from family members to make it happen. The infusions weren’t covered by insurance.

“We prayed on it and felt it would be wrong of us not do everything in our power to give her every chance possible,” said Jeremy.

The family estimates it took just three weeks after the first procedure for Ava to start walking on her own.

“Many of the children we’re treating have similar medical stories,” said Joanne Kurtzberg, M.D, who helps lead the research. “All in all, I’d say we’re excited to see there is some beneficial effect of cord blood in these situations and we’re trying to study in the laboratory how it’s really working."

Ava's family has started a GoFundMe page to help recuperate medical costs.

President Barack Obama took aim at American politicians who say they want to shut out refugees, NBC News reported.

A group of Republican governors are calling for their states to be shut to Syrian refugees.

Obama — speaking at the APEC summit in the Philippines — noted that refugees coming to the United States are screened for 18 to 24 months before being cleared to enter the country, with the intelligence agencies vetting applicants, according to NBC News.

"When candidates say we shouldn't admit 3-year old-orphans, that's political posturing," Obama said, making a veiled reference to GOP candidate and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. "When people say we should have a religious test, and only Christians, proven Christians, should be admitted, that's offensive, and contrary to American values."

ISIS militants are bracing themselves for a possible attack on their de facto capital of Raqqa, Syria, as international airstrikes intensify, the Associated Press reports.

Former residents say ISIS fighters are hiding in civilian neighborhoods and are preventing people from fleeing.

With Russian and French warplanes striking daily, the city’s people are afraid they will have nowhere to go — especially now as a ground invasion by U.S.-allied Kurdish and Arab forces looms, according to the Associated Press.

Iraqi intelligence told The Associated Press the operation was planned in Raqqa, where attackers were trained with the intention of going to France.

After ISIS claimed responsibility for the attacks in Paris that killed at least 129 people, there have been calls for stronger action in Syria.

By carrying out the Paris massacre Friday, ISIS showed the world its intention of bringing its terrorism to the West. President Obama said he saw little reason to change his current approach, which relies on a combination of airstrikes, training of local anti-ISIS forces and cutting off the group's financing and an aversion to sending ground troops.

But many analysts say the Paris attacks — and the earlier bombing of Beirut and a Russian tourist plane — prove that the United States' campaign to thwart ISIS in Syria and Iraq is failing.

But if the current effort won't work, then what will? NBC News asked experts how they thought the United States should move forward.

One expert said a "slow squeeze," a gradual ratcheting-up of airstrikes and involvement of special operations forces on the groun would allow the U.S. and its allies to tout more battlefield victories and seize more territory.

Another expert said Obama, French President Francoise Hollande and other coalition leaders should embark immediately on negotiations for a cease-fire.

Former Utah lawmaker Jackie Biskupski on Tuesday became the first openly gay mayor of Salt Lake City, The Associated Press reported.

Biskupski won 52 percent of the vote to defeat two-term incumbent Ralph Becker, who showed no reaction and later congratulated her on her win. He vowed to help her in the transition, according to The Associated Press.

The victory comes in a conservative state where the Mormon church and a small town judge delivered setback to the LGBT community.

"Today is not just about making history," Biskupski said. "It is about people. It is about affecting change."

A man who set fire to a CVS pharmacy during unrest in Baltimore following the death of a black man in police custody was sentenced Tuesday to four years in prison, federal prosecutors said, NBC News reported.

Raymon Carter, 24, must also pay $500,000 in restitution. Carter pleaded guilty to a federal charge of rioting for the April 27 arson, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Baltimore said.

The federal government said Carter admitted to intentionally setting the fire during looting at the CVS, which occurred during protests in Baltimore following the funeral for Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old man who suffered a spinal cord injury and died a week after being transported in a police van. 

A Texas law aimed at restricting abortions, which took effect in 2013, has led to more women trying to end a pregnancy on their own, while the number of clinical procedures in the state has declined, according to a study released on Tuesday, NBC News reported.

The Texas Policy Evaluation Project found that an estimated 100,000 to 240,000 women aged 18 to 49 in Texas have tried to self-induce abortion since the law went into effect, using such methods as herbs, teas and medications obtained in Mexico without prescription. The study showed that poor women bear the brunt of the law.

"This important new research paints an alarming picture of what the future may be like for women across the country if the Supreme Court does not block this cruel law," Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said in a statement on Tuesday. 

Millions of phone records from a company that is a major contractor with jails and prisons across the United States may have been leaked online.

In a statement, the company, Securus Technologies, said it is contacting law enforcement agencies about the potential leak and is continuing its investigation into the issue.

“Although this investigation is ongoing, we have seen no evidence that records were shared as a result of a technology breach or hack into our systems,” Russell Roberts with Securus wrote in a statement.

The company is the phone service provider used by the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.

Jan Caldwell, a spokeswoman for the Sheriff said, “I've spoken with our IT Manager about this. Securus has not reached out to us but we did contact them. They are still investigating the incident and according to them, it appears to be an internal release of the information. We are working with them to identify the impact on us.”

According to Securus, the security breach may have happened internally. Roberts said, “evidence suggests that an individual or individuals with authorized access to a limited set of records may have used that access to inappropriately share those records.”

The story was first reported online by the Intercept. 

Securus is continuing its investigation but so far, according to Roberts, there is no evidence calls between attorneys and inmates were recorded without their knowledge.

Paul Wright, the Executive Director of the Human Rights Defense Center, a nonprofit focused on prisoners rights issues, said, part of the problem with phone services provided to inmates and their families is a lack of choice.

“Here, there is no recourse,” he said. “If you want to communicate with your loved ones (in prison) you have no choice to use these services and pay the amount of money they are demanding. No choice. These companies look at the government as their customers. The people using the services have no say at all.”

Last month the Federal Communications Commission announced reductions to telephone rates charged to inmates. The new regulations will cap rates at 11 cents per minute for the largest jail facilities in the U.S. Rates for smaller facilities will be slightly higher.

Securus Statement Regarding Media Reports of Leaked Call Records

Securus is contacting law enforcement agencies in the investigation into media reports that inmate call records were leaked online. Although this investigation is ongoing, we have seen no evidence that records were shared as a result of a technology breach or hack into our systems. Instead, at this preliminary stage, evidence suggests that an individual or individuals with authorized access to a limited set of records may have used that access to inappropriately share those records.

We will fully support law enforcement in prosecution of any individuals found to have illegally shared information in this case. Data security is critically important to the law enforcement and criminal justice organizations that we serve, and we implement extensive measures to help ensure that all data is protected from both digital and physical breaches.

It is very important to note that we have found absolutely no evidence of attorney-client calls that were recorded without the knowledge and consent of those parties. Our calling systems include multiple safeguards to prevent this from occurring. Attorneys are able to register their numbers to exempt them from the recording that is standard for other inmate calls. Those attorneys who did not register their numbers would also hear a warning about recording prior to the beginning of each call, requiring active acceptance.

We are coordinating with law enforcement and we will provide updates as this investigation progresses.

Anthony’s Fish Grotto, a fixture of San Diego’s waterfront, will be moving at the end of next year to make way for a new redevelopment project.

The Board of Port Commissioners voted on Tuesday afternoon to allow a new mixed use development project to occupy the site where Anthony's Fish Grotto currently stands.

Last week, Port officials submitted a recommendation to choose the Brigantine, Inc. as the company to redevelop the Bayfront real estate. The board voted 4-2 on Tuesday afternoon to approve Brigantine as the new lessee at the location.

The restaurant at 1360 North Harbor Drive is now run by Anthony’s Fish Grotto of La Mesa, but the business’s 52-year lease expired Jan. 31, 2017.

In May, the Port’s board asked for bids from companies interested in revitalizing the iconic site that sits right on the water.

Six responses were received, and they were soon narrowed down to three contenders: The Brigantine, Sunroad Enterprises and Fish Market Restaurants (a joint venture with Anthony’s).

The Brigantine provided the highest proposed rent to the district. Port officials say the Brigantine’s proposal projects $1.6 million more in revenue value over the first 10 years than the second highest proposal.

Brigantine’s plan entails a mixed use space that would include a seafood restaurant, a Mexican restaurant, a brew pub and a gelato and coffee shop.

Anthony’s owner, Craig Ghio, said he grateful for the patrons who have been loyal to his restaurant over the years. He’s confident that his restaurant will find a new home.

“There are a lot of different landlords and locations around the city that would love to have a restaurant like Anthony’s,” Ghio said.

Brigantine will sign a new 40-year lease and must pay $1.1 million a year in rent.

As Balboa Park celebrates its centennial, a time capsule was buried Monday night in a vault that will remain tucked away until the San Diego landmark’s bicentennial in 2115.

Patrons of the Prado, an organization that raises funds to benefit the 11 arts and science institutions on the Prado in Balboa Park, commemorated the 100th anniversary of Balboa Park with the special time capsule dedication ceremony.

The time capsule was filled with artifacts of our lives in 2015, with a focus on the cultural treasures of Balboa Park. It will lie in the Old Globe Craig Noel Garden, buried in a vault for another 100 years.

NBC 7 donated a couple of items to the time capsule, including a mouse pad with the NBC 7 logo and a 2015 calendar featuring our NBC 7 Today news team.
