A San Diego-area woman, missing for more than 24 hours, was found stuck in a canyon nearby her home by two San Diego Police (SDPD) officers. 

The officers told NBC 7 Thursday they were relieved to find the 73-year-old woman uninjured after their long trek into the canyon.

Jan Mattei who lives with dementia was reported went missing from her home on Caminito Estrellado around 10 a.m. Wednesday. She apparently walked away while her caregiver was vacuuming.

SDPD launched a search for her soon after she was reported missing, a search which lasted more than 24 hours.

Mattei was found Thursday around 11 a.m. in a canyon off Easton Court, which is about a mile away from her home. 

SDPD officers Chris Curran and Chris Johnson trekked into the canyon after a San Diego Fire-Rescue Department (SDFD) helicopter located Mattei.

Both officers told NBC 7 San Diego they did not feel optimistic when they were told Mattei had been found in a canyon. They said they were expecting the worst.

There were no trails to get into the canyon, which made the rescue that much more difficult. A team from the helicopter guided the officers through the thick, dry brush as they made their way down to Mattei.

"Even from the top of the canyon, we couldn't see the bottom of it at all," Johnson said. "They told us, 'she's down there in the palm trees somewhere. Just walk in and we'll guide you in.'"

He said they were knocking down trees and weeds -- some taller than they were.

When the officers finally found Mattei, they say she was a little confused and dirty, but otherwise appeared to be okay.

“It’s situations like this that kind of get me through this job, because it doesn’t always end well. A lot of times, they end poorly. But when something like this happens and you can find somebody like this, it carries you,” Curran said.

The officers say despite being in the canyon overnight, without food or water, Mattei appeared to be doing okay. She was lifted out of the canyon and taken to a local hospital for an evaluation. 

Both officers say they were happy to be able to return Mattei to her family safely.

“These are the kind of situations that make the job worthwhile,” Curran said.

Residents across San Diego County were awakened Friday by a strong earthquake centered just outside Borrego Springs.

The 5.2-magnitude earthquake struck at 1:05 a.m. and caused shaking across Southern California. Dozens of earthquakes have occurred in the hours since. Eight are considered to be significant aftershocks.

The epicenter was 13.7 miles northwest of Borrego Springs, according to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

“This one woke me up so it was pretty intense,” Borrego Springs resident Vicente Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez said he checked around his home and didn't see any damage.

"It could've been worse," he said.

Marcus Phares has lived in Borrego Springs for years. He described Friday's quake as a "shake, rattle and roll."

"I was out here in '68 and that was a big one. We had some roads split wide open and knocked a few wells," Phares said. "People that aren't used to it. It scares them a little bit but I've lived here in Southern California my whole life it was just, it felt like a little one to me."

A few items fell from store shelves along the main route in the desert community east of San Diego but there have been no immediate reports of injuries or damage in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego counties, fire officials said.

Even so, many San Diego County residents contacted NBC 7 to describe the jolt they felt in the middle of the night.

For some, including Escondido resident Eric Frankovsky, the quake was a first-time experience.

“I was gonna storm out of the door naked,” he said on NBC 7’s Facebook page. “It was my first experience, I’m still bracing myself tho (sic), even put the clothes next to me in case I gotta run again.”

“Visiting here from north Texas,” Shelli Kropp said on NBC 7’s Facebook page. “Felt it here in north San Diego. Shook me from a dead sleep. What a welcome!”

San Diego resident Kaitlin Harden also said she and her family felt the unpleasant rattling in their home.

“We Felt it for sure!!!” she wrote on NBC 7’s Facebook page. “Freaked me out when my entire bed started shaking!! Thankfully it wasn't bad enough to do damage!! I know it was quick but it felt like things were shaking forever...definitely did not like that!”

Patti Ryan was in Borrego Springs at the time of the quake – very close to the epicenter.

“It not only was very, very loud but my house shook so bad....as soon as I stop shaking I have to pick up the stuff that came of my shelves,” she wrote on NBC 7’s Facebook page.

The quake was near the San Jacinto Fault, which is historically Southern California's most active fault. Friday's quake was near the locations of a magnitude-6 quake in 1937 and a magnitude-5.3 quake in 1980.

“We look at earthquakes as a series of events,“ Professor Emeritus of Geology, San Diego State University Pat Abbott said in a local television interview early Friday. “We are in an event now.”

Abbott estimated a larger movement may be in Southern California’s future but said that he would put the likelihood at 2 to 4 percent.

An earthquake of this magnitude "puts a lot of pressure on the adjoining areas," he told KGTV. "That pressure we’re seeing right now are the aftershocks."

People from as far south as Chula Vista and as far north as Long Beach reported feeling the earthquake.

A judge has ruled the City of San Diego is not liable in a lawsuit stemming from a highly-publicized 2014 crash outside of San Diego Comic-Con.

On July 26, 2014, pedestrian Cynthia Campbell was hit by a car near a “Zombie Walk” parade on the streets of downtown San Diego. The car was driven by Matthew Pocci, a deaf man who failed to yield to pedestrians and onlookers as they participated in the event. 

Campbell was there photographing the parade; Pocci and his passengers were on their way home from Comic-Con when he plowed into the crowd.

Campbell was struck and pinned under Pocci’s car and suffered serious injuries in the collision. Pocci was ultimately convicted of felony reckless driving causing serious injury and was sentenced in December 2015 to three years of probation and 60 days of electronic monitoring.

Campbell, Pocci and Pocci’s passengers eventually sued the City of San Diego for damages in the accident, arguing the City should’ve closed roads and set up detours to make the streets safer during the “Zombie Walk” parade.

However, on Friday, a press release from the San Diego City Attorney’s Office said Superior Court Judge Judith F. Hayes had ruled the facts presented to the court in the lawsuit were insufficient “and did not support the plaintiffs’ claims that the City was negligent or created a dangerous condition that day.”

The case was argued for the City by Deputy City Attorney Kelly McGeehan. In the end, Judge Hayes ruled in favor of the City’s position, and ruled the City and taxpayers would not be liable in the lawsuits.

“For a public entity to be liable for a dangerous condition on public property that results in injury by a third party, there must be a defect in the condition of the public property, and the defect must have some causal relationship to the conduct that led to injury. In this case, no such defect was shown,” the press release from the City Attorney's office said.

ISIS militants killed at least 30 people, most of whom were women and children who were trying to flee the Iraqi city of Fallujah, NBC News reports. 

Militants attacked those who were trying to flee the ISIS-held city, according to a military spokesman, who did not say how many people were injured in the attack. 

A source in Fallujah told NBC News that ISIS militants — whose own families left the city — demanded that women and children remain in Fallujah. 

"ISIS militants told men that if they want to leave the town, so they are free to do that, under one condition, not to take their families with them, and if they tried to do so they would kill them," the source said.

Fallujah has been held by ISIS for more than two years. An estimated 30-40,000 civilians are believed to be trapped in the city.

Officials at the Fort Hunter Liggett army base in California said Friday there was no active shooter at the camp. 

"The installation received an unconfirmed report of an active shooter which appears to have resulted from a miscommunication from ongoing training activities. The installation has been searched and cleared," the base's Facebook page said.

A spokesman said earlier that the base was on lockdown and police were investigating a "possible shooting situation."

House Speaker Paul Ryan urged party unity at Mitt Romney’s annual ideas summit, NBC News reported. 

Ryan didn’t persuade the mostly anti-Trump group to back the presumptive Republican nominee, but encouraged those attending to give their money to House and Senate races to keep Republican majorities. 

"His message was not really about presidential politics, it was about his agenda and maintaining a working majority," Spencer Zwick, head of Ryan's finance operation and former Romney fundraising chief, told NBC News.

Many of Romney's 250 friends and allies attending the summit are skeptical of Trump and his conservative credentials. They’re also uneasy with his controversial comments. 

Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus is scheduled to speak at the E2 summit Saturday morning.

A Maine teen with autism has gone from having the worst birthday to the best, thanks to the support of strangers from around the world.

It started with a Facebook post that included a picture of 18-year-old Hallee Sorenson of Bangor sitting alone at her last birthday party. When none of her friends showed up to the party, she was devastated.

"It's just the worst feeling in the world," said her mother, Allyson Sorenson. "When you have a child like Hallee who doesn't understand, and is so desperately sad for the first time, it's just shattering."

This year, her family wanted to make sure she had a better birthday. Her cousin posted the heartbreaking photo of Hallee alone at her birthday party to Facebook, and wrote a post asking friends to send her birthday cards in the mail.

More than 150,000 shares on Facebook later and her family is starting to see the results.

"It's super overwhelming," said Allyson. "We are so grateful."

On Friday, Hallee received more than 20 birthday cards from across the country, several flower deliveries and messages from around the world.

She was delighted and surprised to see so many people recognize her 19th birthday this year, which is on July 2.

"It's pretty great," she said.

"Hallee functions at a 6-year-old level, and I've told her that she's getting a lot of cards in the mail and she said 'why'" said Allyson Sorenson. "I told her 'it's because people love you, and they want you to have a happy birthday.'"

Several efforts are taking place to remove Judge Aaron Persky from the bench, including a petition, official recall and a letter from a state senator asking the judge to resign.

On Friday, a petition with more than 1 million signatures calling for the immediate removal of the Santa Clara County judge was delivered to the state's judicial commission.

Organizers said the move is just the beginning of several efforts to remove Persky. Friday's event combined two of those efforts, one using the judicial commission and the other a voter-based effort. But there is no guarantee either will happen.

Persky has become a target for sentencing former Stanford swimmer Brock Turner to just six months in jail for sexually assaulting a woman outside a fraternity party last year.

"We're here today because Brock Turner made a choice to rape a woman," said Melissa Byrne, who represents the woman's advocacy group UltraViolet.

The California Commission on Judicial Performance has the power to remove Persky from the bench, but on Friday said it had no comment on the matter.

The commission was not present when the group delivered the signatures.

"Hopefully, one day people will listen to survivors as opposed to leaving boxes on ledges," Byrne said.

There is also an official recall effort for Persky, which is being led by Stanford law professor Michele Dauber.

Pesky ran unopposed in Tuesday's election and is expected to begin a new six-year term in early January.

"We're going to wait just a little bit in order to roll out the exact timeline, but we're very confident it will go forward," Dauber said.

Getting official signatures for the recall effort likely will not begin until the judge starts his new term next year.

State Sen. Jim Beall along with more than a dozen legislators are also calling for Persky to resign.

"This has to be reviewed in terms of performance of the judge," Beall said. "I think it calls into question his decision-making process."

Beall signed a letter that was sent to the district attorney's office and judicial commission asking for a review of the case.

The letter comes following the release of the full court file, which includes pictures of Turner smoking marijuana.

The pictures contradict a letter Turner sent to the judge before the sentencing, which he claims he had little experience with alcohol or drugs.

But text messages, including some with an apparent drug dealer, paint a different picture.

On several occasions, Turner used the N word and referred to smoking weed, drinking and dropping acid.

The documents also show Turner inappropriately touched a woman at a party the week before the sexual assault. And on the night he was arrested, he received a group message referring to a picture of a naked woman.

Based on time stamps, prosecutors speculated he may have photographed his victim during the assault. But investigators were unable to find the photo, which was sent through a messaging app, GroupMe.

Detectives noted the app allows users to delete photos.

"His prior involvement with drugs and alcohol suggest he should have been much more responsible for his actions that night," legal analyst Steven Clark said.

Clark said Persky's sentence is legal, but also notes the public outcry could spark legislative change to increase sentencing for sexual assault cases.

"It may be this is a vehicle for legislative change when it comes to sentencing of sexual assault, but I don't think it will affect Judge Persky in this particular sentence," Clark said.

Seven major media companies have joined forces, requesting a judge allow video depositions of the presumptive GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump in the class-action lawsuit involving Trump University be made public.

The Trump University lawsuit filed in San Diego alleges the former university, which took in over $40 million, was fraudulent and deceptive.

On Friday, the Washington Post, ABC, NBC, CBS, New York Times, CNN, the Tribune Company joined together to file a request to unseal complete transcripts and videotapes of the "Trump Depositions."

The "Trump Depositions" refer to video depositions of Trump taken on December 10, 2015 and January 21, 2016, according to the court documents.

Certain portions of the depositions are part of the public record, but hundreds of pages of transcripts of the depositions, and segments of the videos are not.

Click here to read the complete motion.

According to the motion, "portions of the depositions apparently remain designated as 'confidential' under the parties' broad stipulated protective order."

The media companies are asking U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel permission to intervene in the case for the purpose of modifying the protective order to remove the confidential designation. That would allow the complete depositions to be part of the public record.

A hearing has been scheduled in San Diego for June 30. Any response to the motion is required to be filed with the court by June 20.

NBC 7 has reached out to both parties in the lawsuit but has not immediately received a response.

NBC 7 Investigates has been reporting on the class-action lawsuit that alleges Trump University misled students with unfulfilled promises of teaching them the secret to being successful in the real estate business.

In the motion, the media companies said the Trump University lawsuit "not only raises important questions about Defendant (Trump) and his organization, it has become a prominent electoral issue."

The motion continues to describe how other hopeful U.S. presidential candidates have used the Trump University lawsuit to criticize Trump's qualifications to become president.

The media companies argue discovery materials are "presumptively public" and Trump has failed to justify keeping the depositions confidential.

In the motion the companies also argue the strong public interest in the lawsuit, "which involves serious allegations of fraud that have become a prominent issue in the 2016 presidential campaign weighs in favor of public disclosure."

Earlier this year, the Washington Post asked Judge Curiel to intervene in order to ask for thousands of pages of documents to be unsealed in this lawsuit. In May, he agreed and issued an unsealing.

A four-year old was taken to Rady Children's Hospital after being injured at the Pala Raceway Friday night.

The incident happened around 8:20 p.m. off of Maggee Rd. and Highway 76 in Pala.

The California Highway Patrol and North Comm Fire Department were responding.

No other information was immediately available.

A man accused of stealing a Honda Accord before leading officers on a car chase across multiple Los Angeles freeways and streets, followed by a foot chase, was arrested Saturday morning.

Authorities took the suspect, identified as Antonio Regalado, into custody at  2 a.m., said Officer Raymond Baron of the Los Angeles Police Department's West L.A. Division.

The K-9 Unit helped locate Regalado -- a 22-year-old Los Angeles resident with numerous outstanding warrants and aliases -- at his home, Baron said. He was then transferred to the LAPD's Mission Division station.

During the pursuit, Regalado made a transition to the southbound 110 Freeway at the Arroyo Seco Parkway near downtown Los Angeles, before exiting and driving erratically on streets, eventually getting back on the same freeway headed north.

He then transitioned onto the northbound Golden State before merging
onto the westbound 134 Freeway in Burbank. When he exited onto the
street, a woman got out of the vehicle at 10:35 p.m., Officer Peter Bishop of
the California Highway Patrol said, adding that she was placed under arrest at
11 p.m. Her name was not immediately available, he added.

Regalado exited the vehicle on foot at 10:40 p.m., Bishop said, leading
to the temporary establishment of a perimeter in the area of Coldwater Canyon
Drive and Cherokee Lane near the Los Angeles-Beverly Hills border, as officers
pursued the suspect on foot.

Officers are investigating a suspicious death in Allied Gardens after the body of a woman was found inside an apartment Friday, the San Diego Police Department (SDPD) said.

SDPD officers discovered the dead woman around 1:17 p.m. inside a second-floor apartment unit at the Rancho Mission Trails Condos in the 7600 block of Mission Gorge Road after a man called police to report a woman was not breathing inside the apartment.

When medics arrived, they performed CPR but the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators deemed the woman’s death suspicious, and remained at the condo complex for hours searching for for evidence and checking surveillance video inside the garage of the complex.

NBC 7 spoke with some neighbors who said they were unnerved by the incident, including Jeff Pigg who heard commotion as police arrived at the complex.

“I heard pounding on the door, and officer going around. I came out to see what was going on,” Pigg told NBC 7.

“It’s slightly unnerving having it in a complex where you’ve got a lot of people living on top of each other,” he added. “I hate to say it; it’s life you’ve kind of got to deal with that stuff when it happens.”

Tim Michel lives on the level beneath the apartment where he woman was found death and said he felt bad for whoever was involved.

The woman's name and age was not immediately released but police said she was visiting a unit in the complex.

The man who made the report is not a suspect, police said.

No obvious signs of trauma were found on the woman’s body but her death remains under investigation. The San Diego County Medical Examiner (ME) will conduct an autopsy to determine the woman’s cause and manner of death.

Straphangers waiting for the subway at City Hall Friday afternoon sprang into action when they saw a man lose consciousness and fall onto the subway tracks, dramatic witness video shows.

Gothamist, which obtained video of the good Samaritan rescue, reports the passengers were waiting for the R train at City Hall at about 2:30 p.m. when a man in his 50s to early 60s fell onto the tracks. 

"This huge person just fell, and the sound was horrific," Sumeja Tulic, a CUNY student who witnessed the rescue and recorded the video, told NBC 4 New York. 

"At that point I thought, 'This is when I will see for the first time somebody dying in front of my very own eyes,'" said Tulic, who's studying journalism.

But three men suddenly jumped onto the tracks, and Tulic instinctively began recording.

"I sort of saw that they were doing something amazing. I have to say it's a professional sort of thing, like, 'oh, my God, I hope they will succeed and I want people to see this," she said. 

The video shows the men pushing the unconscious man up onto the platform, where several people rushed over to help pull him up. The men on the tracks quickly bound back up onto the platform, again with the help of bystanders on the platform. The good Samaritans then pressed an alarm to warn the conductor. 

The man began regaining consciousness about two minutes later, when the next train pulled into the station. 

Tulic said everyone else was asked to leave the platform, including her, but the rescuers stayed with him.

"It was like a melting pot of goodness," she said.

The FDNY said the man was taken to Bellevue Hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries. It's not clear what caused him to lose consciousness. 

It was the second time in less than a month that bystanders jumped onto the subway tracks in lower Manhattan to rescue a fallen man. Last month, a 19-year-old man jumped onto the subway tracks at Canal Street to move an ill man out of the way of an oncoming train. The teen made it back onto the platform with the help of another bystander seconds before the train pulled in.

A small plane crashed into a townhouse in Hawthorne Friday, killing the two people who were aboard the aircraft.

The crash was reported at 5:11 p.m. in the 4600 block of Broadway, according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

Two people were confirmed dead at the scene, but no one on the ground was injured, a dispatcher said.

The crash scene, at a two-story townhouse complex, is less than a mile southwest of Hawthorne Municipal Airport.

The aircraft was a Grumman American AA-1B, according to Allen Kenitzer
of the Federal Aviation Administration, which will investigate the crash along
with the National Transportation Safety Board.

Witnesses watched in horror as the plane crashed.

"The engine was sputtering," said Antwahn Nance. "I could tell it was in trouble. I heard the impact. I turned the corner to offer assistance. I could tell it was too late. The plane was engulfed in flames."

In his first three Major League seasons Wil Myers never hit more than 13 home runs. Of course, he never played more than 88 games, mostly because of injuries.

Now that he’s healthy, Myers is terrorizing big league pitching. The Padres first baseman hit a 3-run home run in the top of the 9th inning to lead San Diego to a 7-5 win over the Rockies in Colorado. It’s the latest installment of Myer’s run of offensive gluttony.

Over his last 10 games, Myers is hitting .439 with six home runs and 15 RBI. Through 60 games Wil has already tied that career-high of 13 home runs and shows no signs of slowing down.

His heroics took a long time to set up. The night did not start well for the Padres. After just six pitches, starting pitcher Andrew Cashner left the game due to tightness in his back and neck. Padres Manager Andy Green said Cash will be evaluated by a doctor on Saturday.

In came rookie Luis Perdomo, who was a game-saver for the Friars. Perdomo allowed three earned runs in 5.2 innings with seven strikeouts and threw a career-high 100 pitches. Perdomo was able to get the Padres through the 6th inning down by just one run.

The Rockies added one more in the 8th inning and took a 5-3 lead to the top of the 9th inning. Jake McGee came in to save it for Colorado and got the first two outs before the proverbial wheels flew off.

Alexei Ramirez and Alexi Amarista singled, bringing Jon Jay to the plate. The Federalist lofted a fly ball to left field that hopped over the wall for a ground-rule double. It looked like the Padres caught a rough break because only one run was allowed to score. Had the ball stayed in the park Amarista likely would have come home to tie it up.

As it turned out, that didn’t matter. Myers followed with a 453-foot blast that turned out to be the game-winning hit. Padres closer Fernando Rodney tossed a perfect 9th inning for his 12th save of the year. Rodney still has not allowed an earned run this season.

Game two of the series is Saturday at Coors Field. Erik Johnson, who was recently acquired from the White Sox in the trade for James Shields, makes his Padres debut on the mound against Tyler Chatwood.

It turned into one of the most memorable photographs of the protests two weeks ago at downtown San Diego's Trump rally.

A photographer, Jimi Giannatti, captured two men pepper spraying anti-Trump protesters in the Gaslamp Quarter and the photo was disseminated widely across social media.

On Friday, the 18-year-old protester targeted in the pepper-spraying incident spoke exclusively to NBC 7.

He doesn’t know the identities of the men who sprayed him, nor has he yet filed a police report. We also can’t share those men’s version of events, as we don’t know how to track them down.

But here’s how Daniel Romero said the situation went down: He had joined protesters outside the convention center on May 27, when he engaged in a confrontation with Trump supporters.

“I tried to take this man’s (Trump) sign to protect myself from getting sprayed by this man,” Romero said.

It’s possible, Romero said, that the two men interpreted the sign grabbing as aggression. That’s when they sprayed him in the eyes.

“It started burning – burning really, really bad. I couldn’t open my eyes for probably 40 minutes,” he said.

Videos surfaced on YouTube showing Romero shirtless, struggling with the pain and loss of vision.

He never filed a police report because he thinks nothing would happen as a result. On Friday, he said he was considering doing so at this late date.

“Why haven’t I filed a police report? Because … I don’t think anyone will help me find these people,” he said.

Deploying a chemical agent is allowed in California as long as it’s less than 2.5 ounces and done in self-defense. If not, it can lead to a felony charge and a punishment of up to 3 years’ prison.

It wasn't clear to San Diego police, after they looked at the photo, whether it was aggression or self-defense.

The aggression hardly represents the greater group of Trump supporters. Romero said several Trump supporters helped him after he was pepper sprayed.

ISIS claimed responsibility for suicide blasts that left at least 20 people dead and many more wounded in a predominantly Shiite area of Syria’s capital, NBC News reported. 

The terror group released a statement claiming responsibility for killing and wounding more than 80 people in Damascus. Three suicide bombers denoted two explosive belts and one car bomb, according to global security firm Flashpoint Intelligence. 

The death toll, which included civilians and pro-government fighters, is expected to rise because many of those injured were in critical condition. 

Washington condemned the attack, State Depaartment Secretary spokesman John Kirby said.

On the day he was buried in Louisville, Kentucky, Muhammad Ali was remembered at prayer services at mosques across San Diego county.

“We are mourning his loss, but also celebrating his legacy of committing himself to different parts of the U.S. This was his legacy to bring the whole country together and help them to understand the importance of struggling for the betterment of society,” said Imam Taha Hassane, Director of the Islamic Center of San Diego.

About 500 worshippers gathered for the 1:30 p.m. prayer service on Friday that focused on Ramadan, but also honored the iconic boxer.

“He made us feel good about who we are as American-Muslims, about our political identity and about our faith and religion,” the Imam told the gathering.

According to the Center for Islamic-American Relations (CAIR), Muhammad Ali was in San Diego in 1985. A photograph shows Ali holding a checkbook.

A CAIR spokesperson said the fighter made a sizeable contribution to help with the construction of the Islamic Center of San Diego.

“If it wasn’t for his contributions, this mosque may not have ever been here. A mosque that has served thousands upon thousands of Muslims and thousands upon thousands of individuals that are not part of the Muslim community but are part of the greater community here in San Diego,” said Fayaz Nawabi of CAIR. 

After 31-years, nobody could recall the amount of money Muhammad Ali contributed. But the Imam called it part of Ali’s lasting legacy, calling him a beloved role model, a champion, and a great peace activist.

“We learned how to work for justice, we learn how to be persistent, not to give up even if we are left alone, if the entire world is against us, as long as I know I am doing the right thing,” said Imam Taha Hassane.

One of two "dangerous" inmates who escaped from a Lincoln, Nebraska, prison was caught Saturday, but the other one was still on the run, NBC News reported. 

Police took Armon Dixon, 37, into custody in Lincoln Saturday, but the man he escaped with, Timothy Clausen, 52, was still at large. 

The two were last seen Friday morning after fleeing from a stolen pickup truck they crashed during a police chase, according to the Nebraska State Patrol. 

Lincoln police said they believed the suspects were hiding in a home near the Nebraska State Capitol and warned residents to call police if they believed their homes were broken into. 

Police did not say how the two inmates escaped.

Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr., endorsed Hillary Clinton for president Saturday, calling her “the most qualified and best hope” for America.

Jackson announced the endorsement at the “Kids Off the Block” memorial in Chicago's Roseland neighborhood, dedicated to children killed by gun violence. Clinton visited the memorial with Jackson in March before the Illinois primary election, where she met with several mothers who had lost their children in shootings.

“It is profoundly wrong,” Clinton said in March, “to see how many children’s lives are ended by senseless gun violence.”

He endorsed Clinton as a private citizen, according to a release, as the Rainbow PUSH Coalition does not endorse political candidates.

Jackson also tweeted his endorsement, saying: "On matters of human & voting rights,racial&gender equality& affordable healthcare you can trust her.@HillaryClinton."

Jackson intentionally declined to endorse earlier in the Democratic primary, calling both Clinton and Sanders “outstanding candidates” who were “going in the right progressive direction.”

Jackson is the founder and president of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, and a former candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1984 and 1988. A video on Bernie Sanders’ campaign YouTube account shows Sanders, then the mayor of Burlington, Vermont, endorsing Jackson for President in 1988.

“Tonight we are here to support a man who, when elected president, will move boldly to end the growing disparity between the rich and the poor,” Sanders said in his 1988 endorsement. “It is not acceptable to him, to me, or to most Americans that 10 percent of the population of this nation is able to own 83 percent of the wealth, and the other 93 percent of us share 17 percent of the wealth.”
