U.S. Olympic BMX rider Nic Long has said the 2016 Rio Olympics are all about redemption.

The Lakeside native and his teammates who've trained at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista will begin competition Wednesday.

He's just one of the athletes with ties to San Diego who are competing in the 2016 Rio Olympics.

The U.S. was kept off of the podium at the 2012 London Games. Long isn’t going to let that happen in Rio.

Long has two Pan American Games medals under his belt and he won the 2016 UCI BMX World Championships. But he’s not focused on his top UCI ranking heading into the Games.

"I don't know much about where I'm ranked, nor care that much. I'd rather be an underdog and just keep my head down and ride like I've trained. I've come prepared and I'm ready to raise some hell," Long told NBCOlympics.com.

His goals are nothing short of a spot on the podium.

"I’m going there with the intention of walking out with a medal.  I don’t plan on coming short this time.  So, I’ll just do everything in my power to get it done," he said.

Long will compete alongside U.S. teammates Connor Fields and Corben Sharrah as seeding runs kick off. University of San Diego student Alise Post and teammate Brooke Crain will also begin competition Wednesday.

How to watch: Races begin at 9 a.m. PT and are available online.

The US men’s volleyball team and local David Lee will play Wednesday in the quarterfinals. After a rocky start, the team is playing the very brand of volleyball the Americans knew they had in them to make a special run at the Olympics. It just took a few days longer than expected to get going and find a winning groove. Lee, a native of Alpine, California, is captain to a team made up of eight first-time Olympians.

After losses to Canada and Italy to begin the tournament, the U.S. stunned host Brazil in four sets then topped France in another four-setter Saturday.

How to watch: The fifth-ranked Americans face Poland beginning at 10 a.m. PT. Watch the match online here.

Saint Archer Brewing Company’s craft beer is now available in Sin City, the San Diego-based brewery announced Tuesday.

Saint Archer said it has expanded distribution of its line of craft brews to Las Vegas, offering the brand’s core and specialty beers in six-pack cans, draft and 22-ounce bottles throughout the state of Nevada.

In a press release, Josh Landan, president and founder of Saint Archer, said that every time the company has tried to expand distribution to other states, production has “been constrained by capacity.”

“After our most recent brewery expansion we can now produce upwards of 65,000 barrels,” he explained.

Over the next 18 months, Landan said the company plans to launch distribution in several other markets. The expansion into Las Vegas is possible through a partnership with distributor Breakthru Beverage.

Earlier this year, Saint Archer launched distribution in Reno, Nevada.

“We feel that we’re going to have a lot of success in the Vegas market,” said Matt Wilson, Saint Archer director of sales, in a press release.

Saint Archer, founded by Landan in 2013, operates a 33,000-square-foot brewery and tasting room located at 9550 Distribution Ave. in San Diego’s Miramar area, better known as “Beer-amar” to craft beer connoisseurs.

The three-vessel, 30-barrel brew house boasts 120 barrel fermenters. The Tasting Room is open seven days a week: 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday; 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday; 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. Gourmet food trucks typically park at the brewery, offering grub for patrons enjoying the brews.

In September 2015, brewing giant MillerCoors LLC agreed to acquire a majority interest in Saint Archer Brewing Company. At that time, Landan said the transaction would allow Saint Archer to remain in San Diego but with more resources to grow.

The brewery is known beers like the Blonde/Kolsch-style Ale, an American Pale Ale, an IPA, Hoppy Pilsner and Belgian White Ale. The company’s brews have won three medals at the World Class San Diego International Beer Festival and a medal ay the Great American Beer Festival.

Paul Manafort, Donald Trump’s campaign chairman, wrongly claimed that “the NATO base in Turkey” was attacked last week by “terrorists.” Middle East experts told us there wasn’t any such attack. One expert called Manafort’s remark a “total fabrication.”

Manafort, appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union,” accused the media of ignoring major news stories last week and instead covering stories that were critical of Trump. He cited, for example, the extensive media coverage of Trump’s comment that perhaps “Second Amendment people” could stop Hillary Clinton from making Supreme Court appointments.

Trump’s Second Amendment comment, which he made Aug. 9, was perceived by some as a threat against Clinton. Trump later said he only meant that gun-rights supporters could deny Clinton an election victory if they mobilize to elect him. Manafort told CNN’s Jake Tapper that “you covered this aside about the Second Amendment for three days.”

Manafort, Aug. 14: I mean, there’s plenty of news to cover this week that I haven’t seen covered. You had information coming out about pay-for-play out of emails of Hillary Clinton’s that weren’t turned over, by the way, to the Justice Department for her investigation. That’s a major news story.

You had — you had the NATO base in Turkey being under attack by terrorists. You had a number of things that were appropriate to this campaign, were part of what Mr. Trump has been talking about.

Let’s first dispense of Manafort’s comment that Clinton’s emails weren’t covered. They were widely covered, as Tapper said.

Manafort is referring to emails and other State Department documents that were released on Aug. 9 by Judicial Watch. As part of its ongoing freedom of information lawsuit against the State Department, the conservative group disclosed that it had obtained “296 pages of State Department records, of which 44 email exchanges were not previously turned over to the State Department.” That email release was widely covered by the media, including CNN, which reported that the emails “raise questions about the Clinton Foundation’s influence on the State Department and its relations during her tenure” as secretary of state.

The coverage may not have been as extensive as Manafort would have liked, but he was wrong to say that it wasn’t covered.

What about the failure of the media to cover a “NATO base in Turkey being under attack by terrorists”?

“There was no terrorist attack on a NATO base in Turkey that I am aware of,” Steven A. Cook, a Middle East expert at the Council on Foreign Relations, told us in an email.

Other experts said the same thing. “There was no attack on the American base by anyone in Turkey,” Henri J. Barkey, director of the Middle East Program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C., said in an email. “Total fabrication.”

What was Manafort talking about? We don’t know because the Trump campaign did not respond to our requests for information.

There was, of course, a failed military coup in Turkey on July 15. The Turkish government claims Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, who lives in self-exile in Pennsylvania, plotted the coup attempt. Turkey describes Gulen as the leader of the “Fethullah Terrorist Organization,” and it has asked the U.S. to extradite Gulen, as the New York Times has reported.

Kemal Kirisci, director of the Turkey Project at the Brookings Institution, said Manafort may be referring to the coup attempt and the Fethullah Terrorist Organization, but he said the U.S. does not consider the group to be a terrorist organization.

“The term ‘terrorism’ is being used these days in a very loose fashion,” Kirisci told us. “The Turkish government defines this group as a terrorist organization. And in some ways it is a terrorist organization. The West does not define this group as a terrorist group.”

Also, the coup attempt happened a month ago (not a week ago) and it was widely reported (not ignored by the media).

The experts with whom we consulted also told us that there were anti-American demonstrations in late July at the Incirlik Air Base in Turkey. Turkey is a NATO member, and Incirlik is sometimes misidentified as a NATO base. But it is not, Cook told us. It is operated jointly by the U.S. and Turkey.

The anti-American demonstrations sprung from the belief widely held in Turkey that the U.S. was behind the coup attempt “either directly or simply because the man widely suspected to be the leader of the conspiracy, the Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, lives in self-exile in the United States,” as the New York Times explains.

Stars and Stripes, a Department of Defense authorized news outlet, reported that there were at least 1,000 demonstrators on July 28, but operations at the base were not disrupted. There were protests again on July 30, and this time Turkish police blocked access to the base amid inaccurate speculation of a second military coup, Stars and Stripes reported.

“Mr. Manafort may be referring to the fact that Turkish police surrounded Incirlik airbase, which is not a NATO facility,” Cook said. “That happened about 2.5 weeks ago.”

The anti-U.S. demonstrations at the base did not receive much U.S. attention that we could find. But Barkey told us they were “peaceful.”

There simply is no evidence that we could find of a “NATO base in Turkey being under attack by terrorists,” as Manafort claimed.

The honors keep coming for the three biggest stars of Team USA’s Olympic team.

Michael Phelps, Katie Ledecky and Simone Biles have made the cover of Sports Illustrated.

[[390351662, C]]

The cover photo was unveiled Tuesday with all three champions wearing their plethora of medals of gold, silver and bronze.

The headline: “The Greatests.”

Sports Illustrated also shared some behind-the-scenes videos of how the shoot came together.

[[390350672, C]]

If you’re wondering why Biles is in full gymnastics uniform while Ledecky and Phelps are in street clothes, there’s a good answer. Sports Illustrated’s Lee Feiner said during a Facebook Live chat that Biles came straight to the photo shoot after competing in a discipline — after the event she went through the mandatory doping control, took questions from the media and then arrived at the SI shoot location, still in her competition leotard.

And if you’re wondering why Biles looks taller than she really is, that’s because the photographer had her stand on a camera gear container to balance out the photo. You can see that via this 360-video of the shoot:

[[390351002, C]]

Biles is listed at 4 feet, 8 inches tall, while Phelps is 6 feet, 4 inches tall and Ledecky is 6 feet tall.

Ben Eagle of Sports Illustrated said that while Biles was doing her individual portion of the SI photo shoot Ledecky was trading Olympic pins with the IT guys in the back of the room.

Oh, and not that many of us mere mortals would know, but apparently it’s hard to line up all of those Olympic medals around your neck at the same time. 

Ledecky was struggling a bit with hers, so Phelps stepped in and aligned them.

"Depends on how you put them on,” Phelps explained as only the most decorated swimmer in Olympic history could. "I put them on one-by-one and then tuck them behind."

“What?” Ledecky asked, as if she had never thought this hard before about the alignment of her medals.

"I’ve done it before,” Phelps said with a laugh. "You’ll learn, don’t worry about it."

Phelps also had a fun interaction with Ledecky’s mother, who praised Phelps for yet another incredible Olympic Games.

"I tried to compete with your daughter, but she just wiped me out,” Phelps told her during the shoot. “She jut kept breaking every world record known to mankind.”

They've been training for this moment for years. All eyes are on them. They walk to the end of the diving board, ready to show off their special talent.

And then they flop. Literally. 

Illya Zakharov, the reigning three-meter Olympic champion, belly flopped in the semi-finals Tuesday, reminding everyone that even the best in the world can feel the pain of a flop.

Zakharov was the fourth flop or near-flop in Rio. Here are all of them:

Zakharov failed to defend his gold medal after this belly flop resulted in a score of zero. According to diving rules, a belly or back flop is usually considered a failed dive and gets a score of zero.

Russian diver Nadezhda Bazhina became a social media sensation for all the wrong reasons. She suffered the first flop of the Games - and as a result, the video spread like wildfire. Her backflop in the preliminary rounds of the women's three-meter springboard netted her a zero, and knocked her out of the competition.

Malaysia's Ahmad Amsyar Azman landed belly-down in the green diving pool on his final dive of the preliminary event. 

Brazil's Luiz Felipe Outerelo attempted a reverse dive in the synchronized diving competition, but didn't pull cleanly out of pike. He needed to wobble his arms out like a child playing airplane to regain his balance. He managed to straighten out and avoid the flop - but he was not synchronized with his teammate, and his score reflected it.

Former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling makes no secret of his conservative political views or his desire to run for office. In an interview with WRKO Radio, Schilling said he's now considering challenging Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren in 2018, when she will be up for re-election.

"I think one of the things I would like to do is be one of the people responsible for getting Elizabeth Warren out of politics," Schilling said. "I think she's a nightmare and I think that the left is holding her up as the second coming of Hillary Clinton, which Lord knows we don't even need the first one."

Democratic political consultant Kevin Franck said the race would "get a lot of publicity."

But, Franck says that while it would be an interesting and nationally watched race, Schilling would have little chance of winning.

"He's out of step with the Massachusetts electorate on key issues like gun safety, LGBT rights, he headed a business that went down in flames and cost the taxpayers of Rhode Island a lot of money," said Franck. "That's an issue that's right in Elizabeth Warren's wheelhouse."

Franck is referring to Schilling's 38 Studios video game company that went bankrupt in 2012 after receiving $75 million in Rhode Island state financing.

Voter Sheila Hopkins recalls Schilling's bankruptcy.

"Curt Schilling, the one that nearly bankrupted in Rhode Island? Is that the same Curt Schilling?" Hopkins said.

Schilling would also be up against Warren's die-hard Massachusetts fan base, which includes Angela DePace of Jamaica Plain.

"I love Elizabeth Warren, I would support her until the ends of the earth," DePace said.

Which is not to say that Schilling doesn't have a healthy sized fan club of his own. It's just more geared toward baseball.

"Great pitcher, helped us get that World Series, the bloody sock," said Ken Coleman of Brookline. "But I would vote for Elizabeth Warren."

A grocery store opening this fall in North Park will boast a public mural set to be created by San Diego artists – and the company is actively seeking the creative minds to make that mark.

Barons Market will open its seventh Southern California location this October, this time at 3231 E. University Ave. The family-owned grocery store is currently requesting proposals from local artists to create a mural on a four-sided column inside the new store that will represent the theme of “growing community through food and art,” the company announced Monday.

The proposal process is open to all artists living in San Diego – ideally North Park and surrounding Uptown communities. Artists who want to pitch their ideas for the mural should submit their portfolio, resume and short letter of interest to Barons by 11:59 p.m. PT on Aug. 25.

That’s the first step of a three-stage selection process, the company said. The art submissions will be reviewed by Studio H2G, Mixte Communications and the Barons Market Management Team.

On Aug. 29, stage two finalists will be chosen. Those finalists may then be interviewed by the aforementioned panel.

On Sept. 19, the winning artist will be named.

Barons Market said the installation of the mural at the North Park location will begin on Sept. 21 with a projected completion date of Sept. 30, before the store opens for business.

The artist that is chosen to create the mural will be awarded $2,000, plus art supplies. The artist’s name and the name of the piece will be “prominently but discreetly near or on the art work,” Barons Market added.

Barons, which focuses on all-natural, healthy food, operates six locations in Southern California: Point Loma; Rancho Bernardo; Alpine; Temecula; Murrieta; Wildomar. The company’s North Park store will be the newest location in the lineup.

By all accounts, Sarah Robles has had an incredible Rio Olympics.

On Sunday, Robles won bronze in the super heavyweight division. It was the first U.S. medal in weightlifting in 16 years.

When Robles made her final lift that would secure her bronze, she let out a scream that could be heard throughout Rio, dropped to her sunflower-patterned knee guards and slapped the floor. She then got up, blew kisses to the crowd and curtsied off the stage in her mismatched socks.

Watch it here:

It was a fitting reaction from an athlete who has a larger-than-life personality.

The California native is boisterous before her lifts, letting out a giant scream before attempts.

“Sometimes I yell before I lift to scare away the bad guys that are in there,” she told NBC Sports. “If I’m the loudest voice, there’s no one else in my mind telling me I can’t do it.”

Robles’ exuberance continued Sunday on the medal stand, where she was captured in a not-so-traditional medal pose.

Later, with that bronze medal around her neck, Robles dropped to the floor and did “platform angels” to celebrate even more.

Robles bronze is the first medal for a U.S. weightlifter since Tara Nott and Cheryl Haworth medaled in 2000. The last U.S. men’s medal was in 1984.

So this was a big deal. And Robles knew exactly who her first phone call was going to be to after the medal ceremony.

“You have to call your grandma,” she said. “They’re old, you never know what’s going to happen. I might as well call her first. I’m not going to wait until I get home or the next time I see her. I knew she’d appreciate it. I love calling her on Sundays. She loves when I say ‘Happy Sunday.’ So that was the happiest of Sundays and I had to share it with her.”

She also shared some final thoughts on Instagram, with a very moving post about everything she’s been through to become an Olympic medalist:

You want to have this moment?

BATTLE BACK!

People calling you a cheat?

Battle back

Getting bullied for being fat?

Battle back

Injured?

Battle back

Sick?

Battle back

No money?

Battle back

No coach?

Battle back

No place to train?

Battle back

Bombed out at your last meet?

Being told you didn't earn it?

Battle back

It's been a long, tough, journey but, I battled my way back.

The best performance of my life! Three personal records, made all of my lifts, got closer to the American and Pan American Records, became one of only three American women to earn a medal at the Olympic Games and showed people that it can be done! iSi se puede!

The son of jailed drug kingpin Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán was among among the several people recently kidnapped from a swanky restaurant in the resort town of Puerto Vallarta, a Mexican prosecutor said Tuesday.

The prosecutor confirmed that Guzman's son was kidnapped, The Associated Press reported. Earlier, Jalisco state Attorney General Eduardo Almaguer told Radio Formula "it is presumed" though not confirmed that Ivan Archivaldo Guzmán was abducted from the La Leche restaurant by seven gunmen early Monday, NBC News reported.

The victims turned out to be six men who "were not tourists or residents who work in legal activities," Almaguer said later at a press conference. "They were people tied to a criminal group we can very clearly presume."

Almaguer said the the kidnapping victims were partying when the gunmen burst inside the restaurant around 1 a.m. Monday and rounded them up without firing a shot. Five cars belonging to the missing men were still in the parking lot when cops arrived.

U.S. Olympian Caleb Paine battled back to win the medal race in the men's finn event of the 2016 Rio Olympics, securing a bronze medal.

The bronze is the first Olympic medal for U.S. Sailing since the 2008 Games in Beijing. 

[[390337341,C]]

Paine led at every mark to win Tuesday's race. The gold medal was clinched two days ago by Britain's Giles Scott. Silver went to Vasilij Zbogar of Slovenia.

Paine, from San Diego, entered the medal race Tuesday in fourth place overall, five points back from third. That in itself was no small feat.

The first-time Olympian battled back from an early disqualification in Race 6, submitting evidence that successfully cleared the penalty.

"It's one of those things that it's great that it could be righted and I got the position that I earned," Paine said Sunday.

[[389642021, C]]

In the end, Paine, 25, didn't let the controversy take the wind out of his sails.

"I've always come from behind and I never stop fighting," he told The The Associated Press.

He proved it Tuesday. He led the race at every mark and crossed the finish line first in the medal race.

"I saw quite a bit of breeze coming down the right side [on the first leg], I hitched out there, and then was continuously playing the right. I just saw the wind, and sailed towards it," he told U.S. Sailing.

[[389595411, C]]

After scores were tabulated, Paine will bring home the bronze medal for U.S. Sailing.

Britain's Giles Scott clinched the gold medal two days ago. Silver went to Vasilij Zbogar of Slovenia.

[[390126612,C]]

Paine grew up in San Diego and first started sailing through the Southwestern Yacht Club with U.S. Sailing teammate Briana Provancha.

Paine attended Murray Manor Elementary and Parkway Middle School in La Mesa and graduated from Point Loma High School in 2009.

It's an important win for U.S. Sailing. The team failed to medal in London 2012 for the first time since 1936.

Mysterious lights, possibly a “fireball,” were seen streaking across the sky in San Diego Monday night, according to several NBC 7 viewers. 

One resident reported spotting the lights between 9:35 p.m. to 9:37 p.m. in the sky over the 3300 block of El Cajon Boulevard in City Heights.

An NBC 7 viewer – who spotted the mystery lights above and around the San Diego International Airport and Liberty Station – described the sight as a “strange aircraft with lights on bottom.”

San Diegan Ruben Quintana spotted the lights from Eastlake Monday night and said they appeared to be traveling west.

He told NBC 7 the stream of light “began as a single blur then expanded into a straight line” before vanishing.

“It repeated a few times,” he added. “I’m not sure where it was over.”

According to NASA, the Perseids meteors are seen in the skies every year in August “when the Earth ventures through trails of debris left behind by an ancient comet.”

This year, NASA’s website says the Earth “may be in for a closer encounter with the comet trails,” resulting in more sightings. NASA says Perseid meteors travel at a speed of 132,000 mph.

“At that speed, even a smidgen of dust makes a vivid streak of light when it collides with Earth’s atmosphere,” the NASA website says.

Most Perseids burn 50 miles above the Earth. NASA says peak meteor temperatures can reach between 3,000 and 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit as they speed across the sky. The peak time to spot the Perseids this month, according to NASA, was Aug. 12 and Aug. 13 between midnight and dawn.

NBC 7 reached out to Palomar Observatory for comment Tuesday morning.

Steve Flanders, public affairs coordinator at Palomar Observatory, said that, predictably, the Earth plows through the trails of debris from a comet on or around Aug. 12 every year.

He said it's not at all unusual to see leftover activity in the sky for a few days before or after the Perseids peak. Flanders also said occassional, random meteors fall all the time, which may not be associated with specific meteor showers.

However, after reviewing the footage of the mysterious lights obtained by NBC 7, Flanders told NBC 7 he does not believe the lights were the result of a Perseid or other meteor.

"A meteor will move across the sky far more quickly than in this case," Flanders said.

He said that while the video is interesting, it is difficult to determine – from the footage – how far the lights were above the horizon.

Flanders said it is possible that the lights were associated with some sort of military rocket launch.

"The tail looks like the flames that escape from a rocket engine during ascent," he said. 

NBC 7 reached out to the U.S. Navy to check on any possible test launches that may have coincided with the timing of the sightings.

Brian O'Rourke, Media Relations Officer for Navy Region Southwest, told NBC 7 the Navy did not operate any launchings locally that would have caused the lights.

John Young, of the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in Balboa Park, suspects the lights were produced by some sort of space debris, not part of the Perseids.

Young said Perseids typically result in quick bursts of light in the sky but judging by the video, this activity was not like that.

Young said these light appeared large, moved slowly and got brighter and darker as it entered the atmosphere, leading him to think it was produced by man-made space debris.

The Navy announced Tuesday at a ceremony at Camp Pendleton that an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, DDG 122, will be named after John Basilone, a US Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant awarded the Medal of Honor for heroism during the Battle of Guadalcanal in World War II.

Secretary of the Navy Ray Maybus made the announcement in front of a group of distinguished guests, including the second cousin of Basilone 95-year-old Constance Basilone Imbese. She described Basilone as a caring leader, “You could never, never meet a more generous kind and wonderful dedicated person than him,” she said.

Basilone was awarded the Medal of Honor in recognition of his outstanding heroism at Guadalcanal. He was serving with the 1st Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division, when he became involved in a fierce fight. Using only a machine gun and a pistol he killed 38 enemy fighters. He and two fellow Marines survived.

The Gunnery Sergeant returned home, a native of New Jersey, to help promote war bonds. But his cousin said he felt he needed to with his fellow Marines, now in battle in Iwo Jima. “When he said he was going back and we had a funny feeling in the heart ‘don't go back still do war bonds’ he said ‘I hate it, my mind is with my troops’ you know, and that's what happened and he went back I never saw him again,” says Basilone Imbese.

At Iwo Jima Basilone single-handedly destroyed a Japanese blockhouse while braving heavy enemy fire. It was there, says Ray Maybus as he reflected at the ceremony on this honor, that Basilone made the ultimate sacrifice. “The fact that after receiving the Medal of Honor for his actions and on Guadalcanal he pushed to go back, was turned down and pushed again went back and died,” showed the kind of hero Basilone was Maybus said.

This is the second ship to be named in Basilone’s honor. The USS Basilone was decommissioned in 1977, following the Vietnam War.

Crews are working to repair a water main break in Bay Park Tuesday evening.

According to the San Diego Police Department (SDPD), the incident occured around 3:01 p.m. at the intersection of Napier and Frankfort streets in Bay Park. 

The San Diego Water Department says they were notified of the break at approximately 3:30 p.m. and have crews on scene working on repairs.

At this point, the size of the pipe is not known but the break was enough to cause flooding on the street. 

Crews are expected to be on scene until approximately midnight.

No other information was immediately available.

Thick smoke from three brush fires on the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton can be seen for miles in Orange and San Diego counties. 

The first fire sparked around 5:50 p.m. Tuesday near the Engineer Hill area of the base. The location is to the east of the base, near the Bonsall and Fallbrook neighborhoods in San Diego County.

There is no threat to personnel or structures at this time, USMC Camp Pendleton PIO Sgt. Keenan Zelazoski said.

A fire official said there is no word on acreage yet. 

According to an update posted on the Facebook page of Camp Pendlton Fire Department, crews are working to put out an additional two fires.

One is burning near Mainside in the Juliette Training Area, but the forward rate of spread has been stopped. This fire is being called the Juliette Fire.

The Margarita Fire is burning in the area of Santa Margarita Housing but there is no currect threat to housing in the area.

No other information was immediately available.

Former City Council President Tony Young was arrested this past weekend on several charges related to an alleged domestic violence incident, the San Diego Police Department confirmed Tuesday.

Young was arrested late Sunday afternoon at his Valencia Park home on multiple charges: domestic violence battery, brandishing a weapon, and a misdemeanor charge of making a threat.

San Diego Police Lieutenant Misty Cedrun said the alleged weapon involved was not a gun or a knife, and that drugs and alcohol were not a factor in the incident.

Young could not be immediately reached for comment.

It’s not the first report of a domestic violence incident at the former councilman’s home.

San Diego Police were called to his home on Feb. 16, 2009 for a report of a domestic violence incident, but no arrest was made.

Officers arrived at Young’s home at 11:26 a.m. on President’s Day, according to an incident report.

That report states Young and his wife were having a fight, but she did not want to report if he had hit her.

Cedrun says charges from Sunday’s domestic violence arrest will be forwarded to the City Attorney’s office for review.

Young was released on bail over the weekend.

U.S. gymnast Simone Biles pulls out her namesake move, distance runners demonstrate Olympic selflessness and an Irish boxer stomps around the ring.

In case you missed them, memorable moments from Day 11 at the Rio Games. 

"The Biles" Wins Another Gold

U.S. gymnast Simone Biles, the all-around champion of the Rio Games, tumbled her way to a fourth Olympic gold medal on Tuesday by winning the floor exercise.

Biles' routine featured her signature move, known as the Biles, a double layout with a half twist out.

Her success came a day after she faltered on the balance beam, dropping to bronze and losing a chance at a record five golds at a single Olympics. She had to grab the balance beam to steady herself.

Coming in second in Tuesday's floor exercise was Biles' teammate Aly Raisman, who won the silver medal with a routine that included a double layout. Britain's Amy Tinkler took the bronze.

Biles is the fifth woman to win four gold medals in gymnastics at a single Olympic Games.

The Best of the Olympic Spirit

The Olympic spirt was on full display during a heat of the women's 5,000 meter Monday after U.S. distance runner Abbey D'Agostino clipped New Zealand's Nikki Hamblin from behind when Hamblin slowed to avoid another runner. Both women fell to the track.

D'Agostino got up but then waited for Hamblin, who was still lying on the ground. They tried to continue but D'Agostino was hurt and in pain and told Hamblin to go on without her. Both finished with D'Agostino limping across the line. 

Afterward, according to The Los Angeles Times, Hamblin told reporters: "I went down, and I was like, 'What's happening? Why am I on the ground?' Then suddenly, there's this hand on my shoulder [and D'Agostino saying], 'Get up, get up, we have to finish this.' And I’m like, 'Yup, yup, you’re right. This is the Olympic Games. We have to finish this.'

"I'm so grateful for Abbey for doing that for me," she said. "That girl is the Olympic spirit right there. I’ve never met her before. I've never met this girl before, and isn't that just so amazing? Regardless of the race and the result on the board, that's a moment that you're never, ever going to forget for the rest of your life, that girl shaking my shoulder like, 'Come on, get up.'"

After an appeal both women were advanced to the final on Friday.

Love Lingers in Rio

Track and field athlete Will Claye had more to celebrate on Tuesday than winning his second straight silver medal in the triple jump.

Moments after winning his medal, the 25-year-old proposed to his girlfriend Queen Harrison, a former Olympic sprinter.

American Christian Taylor took home gold in the event.

Claye and Harrison are only the most recent couple to become engaged at the Rio Games. Two days earlier Chinese diver He Zi was proposed to while on the podium for winning a silver medal. Last week Brazilian rugby player Isadora Cerullo also became engaged to her girlfriend, who was working at the stadium. British race walker Tom Bosworth also proposed to his boyfriend yesterday in Rio.

Boxing Loss Prompts Tirade

Irish boxer Michael Conlan launched into a rant when he lost a unanimous decision in a bantamweight bout that cost him a chance at a medal.

Russia's Vladimir Nikitin won the decision.

The 24-year-old Conlan, who won a bronze in the 2012 London Games, stormed around the ring, made an obscene gesture toward the judges and gave two thumbs down as fans booed.

Afterward he accused the judges of robbing him of a victory, directed another obscenity at the International Boxing Association and vowed never to fight in an amateur competition again. In a tweet he implied the Russians had paid for a victory.

His was not the only disputed decision. Another Russian, heavyweight Evgeny Tishchenko, was booed when he won gold.

Boxing News reported that both bouts were among those being brought before a review panel. Judges are evaluated throughout the Games however there is no mechanism for appeals from teams to overturn results.

Another Diver Belly Flops

Malaysian diver Ahmad Amsyar Azman is the latest addition to the growing list of Olympic flops, scoring a low 9.75 after landing in a belly flop during the 3-meter springboard preliminary.

The 23-year-old had seemed set to advance to the semi-finals after his first five dives, taking a comfortable 12th place, of which the top 18 qualified to progress.

But losing his balance on his sixth dive, Azman did not qualify for the next event.

Azman joins the ranks of reigning Russian Olympic diving champion Ilia Zakharov and Russian diver Nadezhda Bazhina.

Zakharov lost the chance to defend his champion title when he clipped the board in his first preliminary dive, landing in a large splash-inducing belly flop.

Bazhina's Olympic dreams ended when she back-flopped into the pool last week, scoring a rare zero points.

Bolt Bolts

Usain Bolt is already the first man to win three consecutive Olympic gold medals in the 100 meter.

Now he's going for the same distinction in the 200 meters.

On Tuesday, he finished his first round heat in 20.28 seconds. Justin Gatlin and Andre De Grasse, with whom he shared the 100-meter podium, also advanced.

Youngest U.S. Hurdler Out

Sydney McLaughlin, the youngest American athlete to compete in track and field events at the Olympics since 1972, failed to make the final for the 400 meter hurdles.

McLaughlin, who turned 17 just over a week ago, finished fifth in the semifinals on Tuesday. She made her Olympic debut in her qualifying heat on Monday.

A seventh body was found Tuesday at the site of a massive explosion and fire at a Silver Spring, Maryland, apartment complex last week.

The news of the seventh body was released Tuesday evening.

Six other bodies have been recovered. The victims have yet to be positively identified, but authorities believe the victims are Saeda Ibrahim, 41; Augusto Jimenez Sr., age 62; Maria Auxiliadorai Castellon-Martinez, age 53; Aseged Mekonen, age 34; Deibi “David” Samir Lainez Morales, age 8; Fernando Josue Hernandez Orellana, age 3; and Saul Paniagua, age 65. 

Meanwhile, almost a week after the blast, residents who have been allowed to return say they are living in fear. 

"They were sleeping in the car for a while," said one resident in Spanish. "Now they've returned to the apartments, but they're afraid to turn the gas stove on. They're afraid to cook." 

A massive explosion tore through a building at the Flower Branch Apartments in the 8700 block of Arliss Street at about 11:50 p.m. August 10.

Another 31 people were injured, and scores of families were displaced or traumatized. Some of the families are asking for psychological help.

"One hundred percent of the families don't sleep, because everybody is scared," said a resident of a nearby building.

The cause of the blast has not been determined, but some residents have said they smelled gas before the explosion.

At a meeting with officials Tuesday in the community center, residents received reassurances that Washington Gas has checked out the surrounding buildings. 

"The residents of the adjacent buildings should not experience a problem with their gas. If they do, they should certainly contact us," said Earl Stoddard of Montgomery County Emergency Services.

But the fear remains.

"We can't do regular things," said Christy Canjura, a young resident. "We simply can't go through our day without ever thinking of that traumatic experience that we all had that night."

U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin told the community that he and other officials understand the trauma, and are working on getting the help that's needed.

"You look at this and this is about as bad as you can find of a tragedy. I just cannot imagine what went through the thoughts of people who were trapped in these buildings," Cardin said, after touring the scene.

"There are certainly mental issues that are gonna have to be need to be dealt with. There is going to be fear," Cardin said. "One of the services we are looking at providing is how we can meet those needs."

And the families will get other help, too. Two of the elementary schools that serve the area are already having discussions about how they will support young students headed back to school.

Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett said the community was immediately concerned about housing. "The challenge that we heard today is most immediately that of trying to find provisional housing and permanent housing for people," he said. "And we'll be able to do so."

Cardin emphasized that people should feel comfortable asking for help no matter what their immigration status. The apartments are in an area where many immigrants live, some documented, some not.

"There's a concern in immigrant communities about whether they can trust governmental services. I wanted them to know that ... this is all about providing help," Cardin said.

Meanwhile, fire investigtors say they are getting closer to announcing the cause of the blast. They said they hoped to have something finalized by the end of this week.

Props to American distance runner Abbey D’Agostino who delivered one of the most inspiring moments of the Rio Games during the women’s 5000-meter race Tuesday. 

The athlete helped a rival runner and managed to finish the race with a leg injury after suffering a nasty fall. 

According to NBC Sports, D’Agosotino, 24, appeared to suffer an injury that sent her tumbling over New Zealand’s Nikki Hamblin who then tripped on the track. 

Instead of getting up to continue the race, D’Agostino turned to help Hamblin. D’Agostino, having problems with her leg, then fell to the track herself. Hamblin stayed with the American runner before getting back into the race. 

D’Agostino powered through her injury, limping the last few laps of the race. 

Their acts of sportsmanship sparked praise on social media. 

D’Agostino ended up finishing the race and was led off the track in a wheelchair. But not before sharing a victory hug with Hamblin at the finish line. 

Both runners were originally knocked out of the final. After appealing, the judges advanced D'Agostino and Hamblin. The two athletes will take to the track on Friday for the final race. 

They'll be up against Ethiopia's Almaz Ayana, the world champion in the 5,000-meter, who surged to victory Tuesday morning.

A San Diego college student with dreams of one day working for the International Olympic Committee decided now is his time: on a whim, he quit his job and traveled to Brazil to experience the 2016 Rio Games.

His friends call him crazy. His family begged him not to go. But San Diego State University junior Drew Danzeisen, 22, booked his tickets anyway, putting his resourcefulness to the test by trekking to Rio de Janeiro.

“I’ve seen everything down here, in just a week,” he told NBC 7’s Steven Luke in Rio.

Danzeisen said he worked overtime to get himself to Brazil.

“Worked six or seven nights a week, put my time in and did some double shifts and, at the end, I quit my job a few weeks ago to come down here,” he explained.

Unable to convince any of his friends to venture along, Danzeisen said he started cold-calling strangers to plan his trip and find a place to stay.

“I was actually doing research before I got out here on LinkedIn and email, and trying to find every connection I could find going down here by myself,” he said.

His legwork paid off.

Soon, the student connected with an Olympics volunteer who offered him a cheap, available room in Rio. Further networking got Danzeisen into press conference. He even lucked into a free ticket into the Rio 2016 Opening Ceremony on Aug. 5.

The college student also scored free travel gear, a money belt, a 360-degree camera and a backpack with a solar panel to charge his phone - telling the makers he'd promote them during his adventure.

But traveling alone on a college student budget means skipping meals and using public transportation. Danzeisen said the trip from the airport to his room – about 20 miles – took him four hours.

“I’ve been home at 3:30 in the morning the past few nights just cause of transportation,” he told NBC 7.

Danzeisen said he doesn’t know Portuguese, so he’s had to wing it with the language barrier.

“Walking around the streets, it has been kind of sketchy, not knowing Portuguese but I’ve gotten some key words to get around,” he added.

After this trip of a lifetime to the Rio Games – and with his passion to work for the International Olympic Committee burning as bright as the Olympic torch – there’s one Portuguese phrase that sums up Danzeisen’s adventure: “Sonho Realizado,” which, in Brazil, means dream come true.

American triple jumper Will Claye now has two reasons to celebrate. 

Immediately after winning the silver medal, the San Diego-based athlete proposed to his girlfriend Queen Harrison in Rio on Tuesday. She said yes. 

Claye landed a personal best with a 17.76-meter jump — not good enough for the gold. That went to the U.S.’s Christian Taylor. The two repeated the same

The silver medalist wasted no time after his win to put the ring on Harrison’s finger.

Harrison is also an Olympic athlete. The hurdler competed in the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing and won gold in the 100-meter hurdles at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto. 

Draped in the stars and stripes, and surrounded by fans and photographers, Claye popped the question. 

News of the proposal lit up social media, with fans sharing photos of the ring.

But their love story isn’t the only one brewing in Rio — several other couples have become betrothed at the Games this year. 

British speed walker Tom Bosworth tweeted a photo of him proposing to his boyfriend, Harry Dineley, on Wednesday. 

“He said YES!!!” the caption said. 

Chinese divers Qin Kai and He Zi became engaged after Qin proposed following her silver medal win. Even though they were dating for the last six years, he told The Associated Press that the proposal came as a surprise. 

"He said a lot of things," He said, describing Qin's speech. "He made a lot of promises, but the most important thing is this is the guy I can trust for the rest of my life." 

Last Monday, Brazilian rugby player Isadora Cerullo accepted her girlfriend Marjorie Enya’s marriage proposal. Enya, an Olympic venue manager, popped the question after the medal ceremony following the first women’s rugby sevens final. It was the first proposal in Rio.
