The U.S. Navy will lift an operational pause on its T-45C fleet on Monday and flight operations will resume with an adjustment to the aircrafts, the Navy announced. 

The Navy grounded the fleet in early April amid pilots' concerns about contamination in the cockpit. 

The T-45C Goshawk is a single engine, two-seat, carrier-capable jet trainer aircraft. The aircraft is used by the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps for intermediate and advanced jet training. 

T-45C pilots raised concerns over "physiological episodes" in the cockpit, apparently caused by contamination of the aircraft's Onboard Oxygen Generation System, the Navy said. 

Since then, Navy officials have implemented a modified mask tested successfully by the Naval Air Systems Command that circumvents the aircraft;s On Board Oxygen Generator System. 

"After briefings and discussions with our aircrew, their training wing leadership, the engineers, and aeromedical experts, we have identified a way forward to resume flight operations safely by limiting the maximum cabin altitude to below 10,000 feet in order be able to operate without using the OBOGS system," Vice Adm. Mike Shoemaker, Commander, Naval Air Forces (CNAF), said in a statement.

Instructor pilots will be first to resume using the aircraft as they begin warm-up flights. Then, students and pilots will be briefed on modified equipment. 

All instructor pilots will eventually complete their warm-up flights, and then student pilots will begin warm up and training flights, the Navy said. 

Shoemaker said finding the root cause of the issue on the sophisticated aircraft will be a challenge. 

"We will be able to complete 75 percent of the syllabus flights with the modified masks while we continue the important engineering testing and analysis at PAX River [Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland] to identify the root cause of the problem. This will remain our top safety priority until we fully understand all causal factors and have identified a solution that will further reduce the risks to our aircrew," Shoemaker said. 

Navy officials say they are using "unconstrained resources" to tackle the problem. The investigation is ongoing. 

A Los Angeles-area company is voluntarily recalling one of its vegetarian snacks because it may contain trace amounts of unlisted peanuts.

The firm, Beyond Meat, said in a release Friday that peanuts were detected in some of its Feisty Crumbles snacks sold in Southern California.

The recall affects 5-pound bags and 11-ounce bags. Consumers can return the products for a full refund.

The El Segundo-based company said people who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts run the risk of allergic reaction if they eat the snacks.

Below are the affected product numbers:

A conviction for driving under the influence may start an undocumented immigrant on the path toward deportation, part of the Trump administration's new approach to immigration enforcement, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly said on Sunday's "Meet The Press."

"Even a single DUI, depending on other aspects, would get you into the system," he said, illustrating how someone who would not be deported before could be deported under the Trump administration's new approach to criminality.

Kelly has pushed back on President Donald Trump's description of a "deportation force," and he told Chuck Todd Sunday about reports of plans to hire thousands more Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents that they would "do their jobs in the future as they've done them in the past."

San Diego Police (SDPD) are searching for a suspect who beat a black man in a Logan Heights alley, reportedly yelling racial slurs as he beat him, police said. 

The beaten, being investigated as a hate crime, happened on the 2200 block of Imperial Avenue just after 5 p.m. Saturday evening, police said. 

The suspect walked up to the victim and said something about not liking black people before he started hitting him with his fists, police said. 

The 56-year-old victim fell to the ground, and the suspect continued to beat him with his foot, police said. 

When he finished, the suspect walked away, police said. He was seen heading northbound on the 100 block of 24th Street. 

Then, as the victim was recovering, the suspect returned and started to hit him again - this time, using a bamboo stick to beat him on his head and body. 

The suspect is described darker skinned, 5-foot 5 to 5-foot 8, clean shaven and wearing a blue hat, blue T-shirt, blue shorts and low top shoes. He has 2 tattoos on both calves (possibly an S and D).

The victim was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The victim's girlfriend, Lorraine Prenters, told NBC 7 she did not know why anyone would want to do such a thing to her boyfriend. 

“He’s a good person, and he doesn’t bother anybody,” Prenters said. “I don’t know how this happened where someone wants to beat him for no reason.”

She said her boyfriend, Kevin, visited the area to spend time with friends or go to the store. Then, he would return home. 

“He don’t bother nobody, he’s not out here fighting,” she said. 

Kevin is not a violent person, she said. 

“He never hit me ever, even if we argue, he’ll walk away, he’ll leave,” she said. “So he’s not really violent at all.”

Prenters said she hopes police find the man responsible, and urged anyone with information to call authorities. 

“I don’t understand who would do that to him,” Prenters cried. “For someone to do this to him, they must just be evil...I just hope that police find him, and that my baby will be okay."

San Diego Police Central Division Detectives are investigating.

Police in Cleveland are searching for a man they said broadcast a killing on Facebook and who claims to have killed other people, authorities said Sunday.

The man, named Steve Stephens, is considered armed and dangerous, according to a Cleveland Police Department statement. He was last seen wearing a dark, striped polo shirt.

The suspect has been described as a black male with medium complexion, 6"1' in height, 240 lbs in weight and he is currently bald with a beard.

Stephens is believed to be driving a recently purchased white Ford Fusion with Ohio temporary tag E363630, which may have been switched out, Cleveland police chief Calvin Williams said at a news conference Sunday afternoon.

Williams is urging Stephens to turn himself in and not to "do anymore harm to anybody."

A video was posted Sunday to a Facebook account apparently belonging to Stephens — the user's name is listed as Stevie Steve, and a city representative confirmed it belongs to him. In the video, the man filming walks up to an older man and, after asking him a question, shoots him. The video, which was posted about 2 p.m. ET and was later taken down, was captioned, in part, "Easter day slaughter."

The homicide that's been confirmed took place at 635 E. 93, police said.

The victim has been identified as 74-year-old Robert Godwin Sr., but police say they don't know the suspect's motive in choosing the victim.

In other videos posted to the same Facebook page, the man filming discusses the killings.

"I'm at the point where I snapped," the man says in one video. He added that  he's killed 13 people.

"And I'm about to keep killing until they catch me," he says.

He says in comments that he's killed 15 people in the area of 105 freeway. The account was last active about 3:30 p.m. ET.

Police have yet to confirm more than one homicide.

The FBI has joined Cleveland police in search for Stephens, NBC News reports.

Facebook has issued a statement stating: “This is a horrific crime and we do not allow this kind of content on Facebook. We work hard to keep a safe environment on Facebook, and are in touch with law enforcement in emergencies when there are direct threats to physical safety.”

A Facebook spokesperson said that the murder was not broadcast live on Facebook, as previously reported. The video was later uploaded.

"Although, the suspect did go live at one point during the day," the spokesperson said.

Chief Williams said anyone with information is asked to call 911.

Steve Pacelli, executive vice president at biotech company Dexcom, says they are revolutionizing the way people check their blood sugar.

The technology, called the G5 mobile system, uses sensors to help monitor your blood sugar levels from your phone. The system is made of three parts: a handheld receiver that monitors your levels, a wireless transmitter and a self-inserted sensor. The device then sends the data directly to your smartphone and up to five other people.

“Imagine a parent going to bed at night worrying about a child living with diabetes having a hypoglycemia or low blood sugar event at night,” Pacelli says to NBC 7. “That patient or parent has the peace of mind to know if the child has a problem at night, if the child goes low with their blood sugar the parent will actually be alerted on their smartphone as well as the child. So it’s a wonderful, wonderful tool.”

Though Pacelli has learned Apple may be trying to develop a similar tool, he remains unworried.

Pacelli says Apple is likely developing a sensor that will not pierce the skin and therefore give less accurate readings.

Dexcom is working to refine its sensor enough to get it down to size of a band aid, something he’s sure Apple can’t do.

“We believe that the accuracy and performance we can achieve with products like that will be much better than people will be able to produce from a non-invasive perspective,” Pacelli adds.

As San Diego once again heads into its summer season, firefighters across the County are preparing for another potentially destructive wildfire season. 

Despite the heavy rains San Diego County received this past winter, there are still chances for strong wildfires, Cal Fire officials said. 

Dead fuel is not affected by water, so even with lingering moisture, it is still important to cut down dead weeds on your property, firefighters said. 

The new patches of green sprouting up around the County mark a new concern: what firefighters call "light flashy fuel."

Cal Fire firefighters are keeping an eye out for fires as temperatures rise. They say San Diego will see wildfires, as always, but they cannot say how strong those fires will be. 

Cal Fire firefighters continue to prepare for the upcoming wildfire season with the re-opening of their Ramona Air Attack Base (RAAB), the oldest of the department's strategically placed 13 bases across the state.

Starting April 17, the base will be staffed with two S-2T fixed wing airtankers and one OV-10A air tactical platform. Both airtankers can deliver 1,200 gallons of fire retardant per drop, and have a maximum operating range of 500 miles when fully loaded. 

Across the state, Cal Fire operates 21 S-2T fixed wing airtankers, 14 OV-10A air tactical platforms and 12 UH-1H Super Huey helicopters. 

A massive brawl erupted at a carnival on Chicago's Far South Side Saturday night, shutting down the event and leaving at least one person injured.

The incident began around 7:30 p.m. at a carnival set up in the parking lot of the Marshfield Plaza shopping center in the city's Morgan Park neighborhood.

Officers responded to a "large disturbance" in the 11700 block of S. Marshfield Ave., according to Chicago police, who shut the carnival down.

At least 100 people were involved in the melee, which witnesses said involved mostly teenagers and spilled into nearby stores.

Fire officials said a 14-year-old boy was trampled and knocked unconscious during the brawl. He was taken to Comer Children's Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.  Some people reported minor injuries but refused treatment at the scene, according to the Chicago Fire Department. 

The cause of the fight remains unknown, though witnesses said several groups got involved after a man flashed a gun.

"Chaos, I mean, some people just don't know how to act," said Kiki Shaheed. "It was just belligerent everywhere, people were running everywhere, some people was grabbing stuff and running out of stores and stuff."

Chicago police said Sunday that no arrests were made as they continue to investigate. 

In two separate incidents Sunday, two mothers were accused of driving under the influence with a child in the car.

The first was reported at 2:32 p.m. on University Avenue near 58th Street in the El Cerrito neighborhood of San Diego.

San Diego police say a 25-year-old woman was driving eastbound on University when her Ford Mustang crossed into oncoming traffic, jumped a curb and collided with a tree. Officers found the driver’s 5-year-old girl sitting in the front seat of the car with minor injuries.

The child was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the collision, police said.

The driver sustained serious injuries. Mother and child were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, police said.

Officials said it’s believed the mother was driving under the influence.

Then, hours later in Chula Vista, police arrested a woman for driving under the influence following a traffic collision at 4th Avenue and G Street.

The mother and her toddler were traveling on G Street when the woman ran a red light, striking a car traveling southbound on 4th Avenue, Chula Vista police said

A couple in the other car suffered minor injuries, police said.

The child was turned over to relatives while her mother was arrested for DUI.

Five coffee carts were scorched or vandalized on the campus of UC San Diego overnight, a worker told NBC 7.

Four of the carts owned by the Fairbanks Coffee Co. were set on fire. The fifth cart sustained damage to a tarp, the worker said.

Students were awakened around midnight to fire alarms activated by smoke and flame from the multiple fires on campus.

One of the maintenance workers told NBC 7 there have been previous incidents of vandalism targeting the same coffee carts.

UC San Diego police were investigating.

Student Justin Gio said the carts are positioned just outside some of the most popular classes.

“Sometimes you see a major line in front of them right before lecture, to get some caffeine intake which students need,” Gio said.

One professor stood in disbelief as he surveyed the damage. He told NBC 7 he’s not only concerned about the possibility of an arsonist targeting the campus but he also worries about the students who work at the coffee shop.

Customatic Beds has recalled its adjustable beds due to an electric shock hazard.

The bed’s side-mounted AC outlets can pose an electric shock hazard to consumers, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The recall involves the bases of Customatic adjustable beds. The beds were sold at Sleepy’s and other mattress stores nationwide from June 2012 through January 2017 for about $1,500.

The powered adjustable sleep system was offered in all bed sizes and sold with handheld remote controls, allowing the head and/or the foot of the bed mattress to be moved up and down.

No injuries have been reported. CPSC urges consumers to immediately stop using the AC plug on the side of the bed and contact Customatic Beds at 844-815-9023 from 9 a.m. through 9 p.m. ET Monday through Saturday to schedule a free inspection and repair.

The Otay Water District board has voted to censure board member Hector Gastelum.

Gastelum faced widespread criticism in February after tweeting Muslims were "#SubhumanMonsters."

In a statement to NBC 7 San Diego, Gastelum said his words were not meant to be seen as malicious or disqualifying and urged those upset by the comment to move on.

"I exercised my constitutionally protected right of free speech when I posted my comment," the statement read. "I was very specific in the type of conduct I was condemning and my outrage was targeted against the perpetrators of sexual assault/rape, throwing homosexuals from roofs, pedophilia and terrorism. Further, I extended an apology to anyone who hurt their feelings by misinterpreting the content of my tweet (and hyperlink), I reached out to the Imam on numerous occasions have tea to no avail. There is nothing malicious or disqualifying about my comments and I believe it is time to move on, as I am exclusively focused on serving the good people of Chula Vista and our Otay Water customers & employees"

In an agenda packet made public Friday, the Otay Water District prepared a resolution for consideration by its board that would declare Gastelum's comments unrepresentative of the water district serving the southern portion of the county.

The resolution states Gastelum's "public behavior is reprehensible and intolerable."

The board item asks other elected officials to consider whether to remove Gastelum from his public office on a temporary or permanent basis.

Gastelum also accused Muslims of being rapists and murderers, among other comments.

During the Monday special meeting, board member Mitch Thompson read a lengthy three page resolution that blasted Gastelum, calling his comments reprehensible and intolerable.

All the while, Gastelum sat in his seat, reactionless.

Nearly two dozen spoke before the board, many to call on Gastelum to resign.

"We can not tolerate bigotry and hate speech against any religion, anyone of any religion, in this country," said Dave Patterson with San Diego Veterans for Peace. "That's one of the concepts of our constitution, that people are welcome here no matter what."

The board voted to censure Gastelum. 

Gastelum won his seat in District 4 in November with 56 percent of the vote.

The area he represents is located east of Interstate 805 and south of the Sweetwater Reservoir.

Gastelum, 42, of Chula Vista is a Republican and a real estate agent.

In 2012, he ran against state Senator Ben Hueso for senate.

During a campaign debate against Hueso, he said women should take lesser jobs so they can be home more to raise children.

Gastelum's post on Twitter on Feb. 19 was also linked to an article that connected violence in Sweden to Muslim refugees. But credibility of that article has been questioned since it was published last month.

NBC 7's Gaby Rodriguez reports on the investigation into what caused the fires that destroyed several coffee carts on the UC San Diego campus after midnight.

A man walked into a Starbucks downtown and told workers he had been stabbed.

Emergency personnel were called to the Starbucks on Market Street and Fourth Avenue just after 6 a.m.

San Diego Fire-Rescue crews responded to help the injured man while San Diego police detained a possible suspect.

The victim was taken to a nearby hospital. No details were given on the extent of his injuries.

The Starbucks is located on the same corner as Hooters and the Royal India restaurant.

A San Diego man accused of striking two men in the street and dragging one of them hundreds of feet from the site of the collision was sentenced Monday.

Yosvaldo Sixco, 21, plead guilty to one count of mayhem, hit-and-run and DUI with great bodily injury, as well as evading police, according to the San Diego County District Attorney's office.

Previously, he plead innocent to these charges but changed his plea to guilty in court and was immediately sentenced to seven years in prison.

A couple men were crossing Sports Arena Boulevard at Rosecrans Street at about 10 p.m. in the Midway District when it happened back in December 2016. While walking in the crosswalk, they were struck by a driver, SDPD Lt Steve Behrendt told NBC 7.

One victim was dragged about 1,000 feet, investigators said. He suffered a fractured pelvis and other major injuries. He and the second victim were taken to UCSD Hospital.

A witness captured the license plate of the vehicle involved in the collision. Hours later the vehicle was spotted in the Morena area of San Diego.

Police attempted to pull over a vehicle traveling without its headlights near Lauretta and Colusa streets. Sixco did not stop, police said, and continued into an alley where the car crashed into a parked car and then a power pole.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer says that the results of President Donald Trump's meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping earlier this month "are paying off" with respect to North Korea. China is urging a return to negotiations over North Korea's pursuit of nuclear weapons after Vice President Mike Pence warned that the U.S. has lost its patience with the regime.

Police were searching for a 40-year-old man who suffers from mental disability and considered at risk, but he has been found, according to the San Diego Police Department (SDPD).
