Two men pleaded guilty to killing Tammy Meyers, a Las Vegas other of four, NBC News reported.

The incident initially appeared to be a random road rage incident. Meyers was shot in the head in front of her home last Feb. 12, 2015, and died two days later.

Meyers and her 15-year-old daughter encountered a driver of a silver car earlier that day. Angered by the driver, Meyers and her armed son went looking for him, found a similar-looking car, and followed it, prosecutors said. The people in that car — Erich Nowsch, 20, and Derrick Andrews, 27 — then exchanged gunfire with Meyers' son out on the road and again in front of their home, police said.

On Friday, Nowsch pleaded guilty to charges including second-degree murder with a deadly weapon, while Andrews, who is accused of driving the getaway car, pleaded guilty to one count of voluntary manslaughter and one count of accessory to commit murder. Both previously pleaded not guilty.  

A lawyer representing Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has sent Donald Trump a request to meet with him to talk about the GOP front-runner’s comments about his client, NBC News reported.

Lt. Col. Franklin Rosenblatt sent a letter to Trump Saturday asking for time to determine whether he needs to be subpoenaed before a pending court-martial hearing.

Bergdahl’s defense lashed out at Trump for comments he made at a rally last October, in which he called Bergdahl a "traitor, a no-good traitor, who should have been executed." Trump did not appear to respond immediately to the interview request.

Bergdahl walked away from his post in Afghanistan in 2009 and was captured by the Taliban and held for five years before being released in a prisoner swap.  

The fountains at downtown San Diego’s Waterfront Park will be shut off for more than two weeks this month for maintenance, city officials said.

The water filter system needs to be replaced, so the city will shut down the fountains from March 7 through March 23 to complete the project. According to the city, the new system will use a sand filtration method designed to save water and reduce the amount of time spent on routine annual maintenance of the fountains.

The rest of the park will remain open to the public during the maintenance project. The jets will start back up on March 23 at 11 a.m., and the fountains will their resume their daily run from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Waterfront Park is located at 1600 Pacific Highway. The park – a scenic picnic spot popular with families – is open daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
 

Bernie Sanders rallied with supporters in Warren, Michigan, ahead of Sunday's Democratic debate. 

North Park Little League celebrated Opening Day Saturday with a special tribute to a beloved coach who dedicated his life to the game – and the youth of San Diego – for more than 60 years.

Coach Joe Schloss, 88, was honored at Morley Field for his longtime career with the North Park Little League. Schloss passed away last fall following an illness.

To honor the coach, San Diego City District 3 Councilmember Todd Gloria presented Schloss’ wife, Barbara, and his children with a special plaque dedicated to Schloss.

Barbara accepted the plaque graciously, talking about her late husband and his love of coaching youth baseball.

Gloria said a bronze plaque will soon be installed on the side of the snack shack at Morley Field to honor Schloss and his contributions to the North Park Little League.

Gloria said the plaque will help players, young and old, remember Schloss forever.

Gloria said a plan is in the works to also pay tribute to Schloss by renaming a street near Morley Field so that it bears the coach’s name.

“We’re kicking off this season by really honoring him; both with a plaque here at the field and with the initiation that renames the road that leads to this field in his memory,” Gloria told NBC 7. “Joe is a legend in North Park, and really across San Diego.”

Gloria said Schloss inspired multiple generations of local baseball players. Some of his former players of all ages attended the Opening Day ceremonies in his honor.

“In 60 years of teaching baseball in North Park, he’s literally touched the lives of thousands of young people. Multiple generations of San Diegans have been guided by Coach Joe,” said Gloria.

The councilmember said Schloss didn’t just teach players about sportsmanship and how to play baseball. He also set an example on how to live life well, and in Gloria’s words, “how to be a leader, how to show moral character.”

“He was a great man. It was a huge loss to North Park when he passed. We don’t want to lose his good example, which is why we’re honoring him today,” he added.

Schloss passed away in late November 2015. He was the longtime owner of A-B Sporting Goods in North Park.

NBC 7 spoke with Schloss in May 2015. At 88 years young, he was vibrant and happy, and deeply dedicated to his career as a coach with North Park Little League.

On May 16, 2015, leaders from the City and County of San Diego held a special ceremony at Morley Field to declare May 16 “Joe Schloss Day.” The coach was honored for his dedication to the sport and players.

That day, Schloss attended the ceremony alongside his wife, Barbara. Some of his former players – many of them now adults – were there to cheer him on, and even former players from other Little League teams showed up. Schloss said he was overwhelmed and a little embarrassed by the attention, but thrilled to be there.

“It's a great honor,” he said at the May ceremony, humbled.

Schloss, a Navy veteran who served in the Pacific during World War II, coached his first team in 1956, which made 2015 his 60th season. Up until his death, he said he had no plans of hanging up his clipboard anytime soon.

The Philippines said Saturday it seized a North Korean freighter covered by United Nations’ sanctions against Pyongyang over its nuclear program, NBC News reported.

A spokesman for the country’s foreign ministry said the ship was impounded and will not be allowed to leave port, after officials conducted an inspection.

The ship arrived on Feb. 27 and was unloading palm kernels.

Manila will also deport the vessel’s crew and will wait for a U.N. inspection team, the spokesman said.  

 The unusual campaigning on the behalf of the Republican Presidential hopefuls is an opportunity for the Democrats to “do some great things,” former Democratic Presidential Nominee Michael Dukakis said at a speech in San Diego Saturday.

Dukakis, 82, who was the Democratic nominee in 1988 against George H. W. Bush, spoke to NBC 7 San Diego about some of the name calling and unusual campaigning on the Republican side this election cycle. Dukakis has been giving his personal "state of the nation" speech to the City Club of San Diego for the past 14 years.

“It’s terrible,” Dukakis said. “But unfortunately it’s the consequence of a political party that’s gotten angrier and more politically extreme as time goes on.”

He recalled times when he worked with Republicans during his career to effectively create policy. He said he’s seen this type of campaigning many times, yet not quite at the same level as this.

“Speaking as a Democrat, this is a God-given opportunity to do some great things,” said Dukakis.
The Supreme Court vacancy and the election happening in the same year will be a challenge, Dukakis said, but could be a great challenge “assuming we take advantage of it.”

"So, we've got this food fight between and among people who want to be president of the united states, I mean to me it's appalling, but nevertheless, this is politics and for those of us who are appalled, this is an opportunity to really go out and make serious and constructive change in this country and that's what this election is going to be all about,” Dukakis said.

Lincoln High School, where a fight had to be broken up by police last week, held a career and college expo Saturday for student in the San Diego Unified School District.

"We've had a great response from students and the community, but more importantly, we've had students that are here today that are really trying to figure out what their future,” Kinda Doughty of the San Diego Imperial Counties Cal-Soap, a student outreach program.

Local booths included UC San Diego, SDSU, community colleges, trade schools, Spa-War and several branches of the military.

None of the students involved in the fight will be expelled school officials said on Friday.

Meanwhile, the San Diego Unified School District has requested an independent investigation into the actions of a school police officer injured in the fight.

A suspect walked into an AT&T store in Clairemont, armed with a weapon, and demanded merchandise, San Diego Police (SDPD) said.

The armed robbery happened at 7:35 p.m. Saturday on the 8000 block of Clairemont Mesa Boulevard, police said. 

The suspect walked into the store and approached an employee, lifting his shirt to show a gun, police said. He then demanded iPhones. It is unclear how many he took.  

The man had a duffle bag and grabbed some phones, shoving them into his bag and leaving the store in an unknown direction, police said. 

He is described as a man in his 20s approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall and 180 pounds heavy. He was last seen wearing a dark hoodie, jeans and had a black handgun. 

SDPD detectives are investigating.

A champ on a 12-foot-tall unicycle, sword swallowers, fire jugglers and a record-holder for high-flying stunts on a pogo stick are among the street performers taking center stage at a quirky festival this weekend at Seaport Village.

In its 10th year, the annual Spring Busker Festival goes down from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. this Saturday
and Sunday at San Diego’s waterfront landmark.

As always, the free outdoor fest highlights awe-inspiring, eclectic busker acts from around the nation. This year’s lineup of professional performers is diverse and, of course, death-defying.

The lineup includes The Flying Tortilla, a group of Southern California performers who combine breakdancing, acrobatics, tumbling, circus skills and comedy in their act. There’s also CREW, a San Diego-based percussion group that specializes in repurposing everyday objects for their percussive performance.

Then there’s Pogo Fred, a multiple Guinness World Record holder who hails from Ohio and performs tricks on his pogo stick, including jumping more than seven feet in the air.

Jamey Mossengren – a seven-time World Unicycle Champion from Los Angeles – will also treat attendees to some stunts as he rides his 12-foot-tall unicycle.

Other performers include Martika Daniels, a Kansas City-based busker who, among many tricks, walks barefoot across broken glass. Professional sword-swallower, Murrugun the Mystic, will also perform. Jugglers, comics and others gifted with quirky talents round out the two-day fest. Event organizers say that while the performances are free, tips for the buskers are encouraged.

When night falls on Saturday, Seaport Village will host an after-hours, 18+ version of the fest – Buskers After Dark, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. This portion of the event includes a DJ spinning tunes, food and drink specials, as well as fire acts, adult humor and high-energy performances.

Parking for the Spring Busker Festival is available in the regular Seaport Village parking lots, where guests pay $4 for the first three hours with validation from a Seaport Village business and $3 every 30 minutes thereafter.

For the festival, there will also be extra parking available at the nearby Hilton Hotel Bayfront on Park Boulevard. The all-day parking rate there is $10 per car. Free shuttles will be available to take visitors back and forth from the hotel lot to Seaport Village. Shuttles will run every 15 minutes from 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Seaport Village is also easily accessible via trolley or bus. Visit the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System website for route details.
 

The first storm in a while to hit San Diego will make itself known, first by pounding surf, then by howling wind, before moving into Southern California this weekend and early next week.

“The storm itself will move into the county in two waves,” said NBC 7’s Meteorologist Jodi Kodesh. “The first round of light showers will arrive late Saturday night, into Sunday. The second, bigger round, will arrive later Sunday into Monday. But, the surf and wind will certainly be noticeable, as it approaches.”

The National Weather Service has issued a high surf advisory for San Diego County beaches, in advance of the storm. The advisory remains in effect through 4 p.m. Tuesday. Waves of 5 to 8 feet are expected, with sets to 10 feet possible on Saturday.

Sunday, waves will be abnormally huge, with sets to 15 feet possible. Dangerous rip currents will pose an additional threat to swimmers.

Saturday, the approaching storm system will bring a slight chance of sprinkles to San Diego, with gusty west winds in the mountains and deserts. Saturday night, and early Sunday, the cold front will move through, with light to moderate rainfall and strong winds.

A more intense portion of the storm will move through late Sunday into Monday, with gusty west winds and numerous moderate to heavy rain showers. Monday will also include a chance of thunderstorms.

A wind advisory will also go into effect for the mountain and desert areas.

Showers may linger into Tuesday morning.

“When all is said and done, this could be a great rainmaker for us,” said Kodesh.

Kodesh says coast and inland areas could see anywhere from 0.75 to 1.25 inches of rain. Mountains could receive 1.5 to 2.5 inches of rain. Deserts could see anywhere from 0.25 to 0.40 inches of rain.

Mountain elevations above 5,000 feet could receive anywhere from 6 to 12 inches of snow, mainly on Monday.
 

A fugitive wanted for child sex crimes in San Diego County has been apprehended in Simi Valley, officials said Friday night.

Christopher Thomas Harper, wanted on three counts of sodomy or sexual intercourse with a child under 10 and lewd acts with a child, was arrested on Thursday.

Officers with the San Diego Regional Fugitive Task Force notified the Simi Valley Police Department that they believed Harper was in the Simi Valley area.

Harper was taken in to custody in the 1600 block of Yosemite Avenue in a place he was staying, officials said.

Officers booked Harper into a San Diego County jail facility on his warrant. He's being held on $2 million bail and faces at least nine counts of sex crimes against minors. He is set to appear in court on March 11.

The county is warning residents who buy or make a rain barrel to conserve water to make sure it doesn’t become a place for mosquitoes to breed.

Mosquitoes can lay eggs inside of barrels that aren’t properly screened or if it has areas on it where water pools up outside the barrel.

“When you start saving water in containers, you’ve now provided prime breeding grounds for mosquitoes,” Chris Conlan, a supervising vector ecologist with vector control said. “People forget that even if it hasn’t rained, you can still have condensation on your roof from fog and things like that, which will trickle down the gutter and fill the barrel a little.”

Mosquitoes like our native species that can carry West Nile Virus, the yellow fever mosquito and the Asian Tiger mosquito only need small amounts of water.

To avoid mosquitoes The County suggests using a container that was meant to be a rain barrel, use a mosquito-proof screen, keep the lids and connectors sealed tight and regularly inspect he barrel to get rid of any pooled up water.
 

Peyton Manning will announce his retirement from the NFL on Monday, the Denver Broncos confirmed Sunday.

"Peyton’s competitiveness, intensity and leadership helped us to one of the most successful periods in our history, highlighted by four consecutive division titles, two AFC Championship victories and a win in Super Bowl 50," Joe Ellis, the Broncos' president and CEO, said in a statement.

The announcment will be made at the UCHealth Training Center in Denver during a 1 p.m. EST news conference on Monday.

ESPN's Chris Mortensen first reported on Manning's retirement early Sunday.

The five-time MVP, who turns 40 in a couple of weeks, has been pondering his future since hoisting his second Super Bowl trophy last month after Denver's defense carried the Broncos to a 24-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers.

Manning said after the Super Bowl that he needed time to reflect, stressing: "I think I'll make a good decision and I think I'll be at peace with it whichever way it goes."

Earlier in the week, the AP reported that whether Manning decided to retire or not, the the Broncos would "almost certainly release the iconic quarterback." The team needs Manning's $19 million salary — which becomes fully guaranteed on Wednesday — in 2016 to address a host of other off-season needs, chief among them: paying his replacement.

Though general manager John Elway had insisted he would give Manning all the time he needed to make up his mind, many had speculated he would need an answer by Tuesday afternoon at the latest before the start of the league's new year on March 9.

The Broncos asked him to take a pay cut last season after he threw 39 TD passes in 2014, and they settled on a $4 million reduction — although Manning earned it all back in bonuses by winning the Super Bowl.

Hampered by a torn ligament in his left foot, Manning endured the worst statistical season of his career in 2015, one that included just nine touchdown throws and 17 interceptions in nine starts. He completed just 13 passes for 141 yards in the Super Bowl. But thanks to a defense led by game MVP Von Miller, he became the oldest quarterback to win a championship and the only starting QB to win Super Bowls with two franchises.

His first came in 2007 with the Colts, who drafted him No. 1 overall in 1998. The Colts gave up on him after a series of neck surgeries forced him to miss all the 2011 season and threatened to cut short his career.

Colts' owner and CEO Jim Irsay called Manning a "tremendous ambassador for the game and the epitome of someone who gives back to the community," adding that the he'll miss seeing #18 on the field on Sundays.

"I am proud and thankful for all he’s done for the Colts, our community, and the NFL. On behalf of Colts and NFL fans worldwide, I thank Peyton and congratulate him on an incredible career,” Irsay said in a statement. 

Manning resettled in Denver, where he went 50-15, won his fifth MVP award and reached two more Super Bowls.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady applauded Manning on his legacy in a Facebook post, writing: "Congratulations Peyton, on an incredible career. You changed the game forever and made everyone around you better. It's been an honor."

Football fans quickly took to Twitter to praise Manning and his legacy:

A teenager has died and seven other people were injured when someone opened fire early Sunday morning in Chelsea, Massachusetts, officials said.

Police are still looking for the shooter as family and friends are mourning the loss of the 19-year-old Pablo Villeda.

A small memorial is growing outside the building on Washington Avenue where seven young people, including Villeda, were shot early Sunday morning. One more person jumped out a window.

Terrence Flood's fiance was woken up by the shots. They live next door.

"She said, 'I heard a shot, a gunshot,'" Flood said. "She heard the glass break where the guy jumped out the window."

Villeda was taken to Whidden Memorial Hospital, where he later died. The other victims were transported to Massachusetts General Hospital and Whidden Hospital with non-threatening gunshot injuries.

The surviving shooting victims were three males - ages 15, 18, and 22 - and three females - ages 15, 17, and 18.

Now, police are looking for a suspect. They believe there was one shooter with one gun.

They are also investigating why so many young people were inside that apartment.

"It's been vacant for like two or three days," said Flood.

A vigil is scheduled for Monday at 7 p.m. in front of the building.

The Los Angeles prosecutor who tried and failed to convict O.J. Simpson says the infamous murder trial would probably end in a hung jury if it were held today.

"Honestly, I don't know whether he would be convicted today," Marcia Clark said in an interview with Dateline NBC scheduled to air Sunday.

Clark cites racial mistrust exposed in the wake of police-involved shootings around the country and made the question of how law enforcement treats African-Americans one of the most contentious issues of the day.

She has long contended that wariness of the Los Angeles Police Department and anger over the brutal Rodney King beating figured in the acquittal of Simpson after a five-month trial in 1995 that transfixed the world.
 

Former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger officially endorsed Ohio Gov. John Kasich — first on Snapchat, then in Ohio on Sunday, NBC News reported.

Schwarzenegger has been supporting Kasich and speaking of his accomplishments leading up to the New Hampshire primary.

"We need John Kasich to now take charge and be at the White House," Schwarzenegger added. "And this is why I endorse John Kasich, our great governor, to be our Republican nominee and to be the next president of the United States of America — the greatest country in the world."

Kasich is campaigning in Ohio, his home state, which he says he needs to win to move on. Ohio’s primary is on March 15, and the winner will take all 66 delegates. Kasich said if he doesn’t win Ohio, he will quit the race.  

Major problems at the Maine Democratic presidential caucus Sunday have led a party lawmaker to push for a switch to primaries in the future.

Bernie Sanders is projected as the winner in the state, where there was a record turnout with an estimated 46,800 Democrats caucusing, according to party officials.

So many voters showed up in Portland that a line thousands strong wrapped around a city block.

To make matters worse, the city clerk's office left before new voters could be registered and processed.

Staff members at the caucus are requesting verbal declarations of the voters' statuses as Democrats. Portland Mayor Ethan Strimling is pledging to authenticate those votes Monday if the voters stay and caucus Sunday.

Additionally, voters were given the option of casting votes with absentee ballots instead of staying for the caucus.

The Maine Democratic Party's executive director defended the Portland clerk's office in a statement.

"Our municipal clerks' offices across the state have worked hard to process same-day voter registration for today's caucuses," wrote Jeremy Kennedy. "In Portland, the clerk's office remained at the caucus site for an additional four hours to make every effort to ensure as many people as possible could participate."

Meanwhile, Portland Sen. Justin Alfond, the Senate's Democratic leader, is announcing emergency legislation to bring back the primary system in Maine.

"We can do better than this, and that's why we're going to need to have a bigger discussion," Alfond said.

"If we don't have a primary, we have to plan better for the caucus," said Strimling. "People are standing in the cold for hours just to be able to practice their constitutional right to vote."

Alfond says he will be introducing the bill Monday to have both parties use primaries instead of caucuses.

Former President Jimmy Carter told a church congregation Sunday that he will be ending cancer treatments as he no longer needs them, NBC News reported.

Carter, 91, underwent treatment with a new drug, Keytruda, and in December he said the cancer disappeared. He said he will continue to be monitored and that he will start with treatments again if a cancer “shows up.”

The former president announced in August that he had a mass removed from his liver, which turned out to be melanoma — a dangerous form of skin cancer.  

 A man approached a Walgreen's pharmacist in Chollas View, insinuated he had a weapon, and demanded medication, San Diego Police (SDPD) said. 

The incident happened at 12:22 p.m. at the store on the 600 block of Euclid Avenue, police reported. 

The man, described as an adult in his 20s approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall, was wearing a gray hooded jacket when he walked into the store. He put his hand inside his jacket pocket, simulating he had a weapon, police said. 

The suspect then handed the Pharmacist a demand note, requesting an undetermined amount of prescription medication. 

He then fled the scene, medications in hand. 

No injuries were reported. 

SDPD's robbery detectives are investigating.
