A passenger on a Spirit Airlines flight from Fort Lauderdale, Fla. to Atlanta gave passengers a scare when he screamed "There's a bomb on the plane!" reported NBC affiliate 11ALIVE.

The man was escorted off the plane after it landed at Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson International Airport because he had been acting "unruly" throughout the entire flight, passengers told 11ALIVE.

One passenger caught the entire incident on camera. The man can be seen grabbing onto a seat as officers attempt to pry him away.

As an Atlanta Police officer tells him to get out of his seat, the man says, "There's a bomb on the plane. There's a bomb on this f-king plane! If she takes me off I will blow the f-king plane up! I will, get the f-k out!"

Officers were eventually able to get the man off the plane. The rest of the passengers who sat calmly in their seats throughout the whole ordeal were allowed to depart about three minutes after the man and his luggage were taken off the plane, 11ALIVE reported.

The man, who was unidentified, was taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation, according to the station.

One person was injured in a La Mesa house fire Saturday afternoon, according to Heartland Fire officials.

The blaze began around 4:20 p.m. at a two-story home on Homewood Place. When fire crews arrived, heavy, black smoke was billowing around the structure.

Arriving crews had to knock down one of the home's doors in order to get to a man inside.

The man suffered severe burns, according to officials.

The fire was reportedly caused by a piece of clothing caught in a space heater.

Turning 40 is a milestone for many, but for one little hippopotamus who lives in San Diego it was extra special.

"Hannah Shirley," a pygmy hippo, celebrated 40 years of life on Friday, Nov. 22, at the Fund for Animals Wildlife Center in San Diego's Ramona area.

Hannah is said to be the oldest living pygmy hippo in the United States.

She came to live at the wildlife center in 2002 after being discovered in a backyard of a private owner in Escondido, CA, according to the wildlife center's employees.

According to the San Diego Zoo, pygmy hippos are rare animals normally found in the forests of West Africa.

On Friday, Hannah's birthday festivities began at the center at around 9 a.m. with a breakfast where she presented with a few gifts. Later in the afternoon a dinner was held and Hannah was given a piñata filled with treats.

Accompanying Hannah at her birthday parties were six local children and their families. The children got the chance to come to the celebrations after winning a coloring contest held by the wildlife center.

So, what do you get the nation's oldest pygmy hippo for her birthday?

According to employees, for Hannah's big day she received a purple soccer ball (pictured above) and an arrangement of her favorite fruits.

Below is a video of Hannah frolicking around a swimming pool in 2012.

San Diego Woman Donates Kidney to Stranger

First Snowfall of the Season

Late Toddler's Family Seeks Help 

For the first time since their tragic loss, the family of a 16-month-old who died after being struck by a car in Normal Heights Wednesday afternoon is speaking out and asking the public for help.

On Wednesday, the toddler, identified by his family as Manuel Erik Mercado, or Manny, was hit by a car just before 1:30 p.m. at a home in the 4400-block of Wilson Avenue.

According to police, the Manny was being watched by a caretaker. That woman's 22-year-old daughter came by the house and apparently backed over the toddler with her car as she was leaving.

Police say no one realized the boy had slipped away, until his 10-year-old aunt discovered him in the driveway.

Manny was rushed to Rady Children’s Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

On Saturday, several items that belonged to Manny were placed in the driveway of the home on Wilson Ave where he was killed earlier in the week.

The family, still mourning, says they now have to deal with the financial burden of their loss. They’re asking the public for help in funding funeral services for the child and have setup a GoFundMe account.

"Help us financially to bury the baby so that we can just put the baby to rest,” said Linda Soltero, Manny's relative, in an interview with NBC 7 San Diego. “[Help] to pray for us. To pray for the family, to uplift the family.”

Manny’s family members said their lives will never be the same and through this tragedy they've learned just how precious life is.

"Hold your family, kiss your family. Tell them you love them because you don't know... the last time you'll be able to do it," Soltero said.

A San Diego woman has made headlines -- and a huge difference in another woman's life -- after donating her kidney to a complete stranger thousands of miles away.

Valerie Maupin, 24, recently traveled to Florida to donate her kidney to Christine Curti, a 50-year-old woman from Holiday, Fla., in need of a transplant.

Maupin – a nursing student who works as a barber at Floyd’s 99 Barbershop in San Diego – found Curti through a Facebook group called Find a Kidney Central earlier this year. After much email, phone and text correspondence, plus a few medical tests, the two women found they were a match.

Maupin told NBC 7 San Diego Curti’s story stood out, and she felt compelled to help.

“Christine is also in the medical field; she’s a nurse. I thought, if I could have the opportunity to help someone who also helps others then I’d be helping not just one person, but a lot of people,” said Maupin.

Maupin flew to Florida a couple of weeks ago. On Nov. 13, she donated one of her kidneys to Curti as planned.

Curti said Maupin’s selfless gesture saved her life, and she couldn’t be more grateful.

“I can’t even tell you the amazing feeling it is that someone gave me a second chance at life,” she said.

Maupin said she was happy to help.

“Most people ask me first why [I did this]. My kind of initial reaction is, why not?” she said.

Maupin has documented her journey as an organ donor on the website, My Living Kidney Donation.

There, she describes the moment she became interested in becoming a donor. Someone close to her best friend needed a kidney and though willing, Maupin wasn’t a match for that woman.

She writes:

“I then began to think, ‘If I am willing to do this process for someone I know, why wouldn't I do it for someone I don't know?’ Everyone deserves the equal opportunity to have a normal, healthy life."

Maupin is still in Florida recovering from the surgery. On Saturday, she told NBC 7 she was on the mend and feeling well.

She also said Curti was doing well and had been released from the hospital. The pair spent some time visiting on Friday, and Maupin said Curti was in high spirits.

And, though strangers at one point, Maupin said she and Curti now share an unbreakable, lifelong bond.

“We’re family now, forever,” she said. “It’s an amazing feeling.”

Following the transplant surgery, doctors told Maupin she can’t work for about three months. A fund has been established to cover her personal expenses while she’s out of work. To donate to Maupin’s fund, click here.

A mother and son who hadn’t seen in each other in more than 30 years finally got a chance to reunite in San Diego Saturday morning.

NBC 7 San Diego was the first station to report on the incredible story of David Amaya, a 37-year-old man who was abducted by his father as a toddler and taken away to live in Mexico. All of these years, he had no idea his mother, Kathy Amaya, who lives in Wisconsin, had been looking for him.

On Oct. 30, David tried crossing the U.S.-Mexico border in San Diego without documents. U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents detained him for two days with a group of undocumented immigrants.

David insisted he was a U.S. citizen, and agents looked deeper into his case. That’s when officials tracked down a copy of David’s birth certificate showing that he was born in Chicago, Ill. in 1976.

Agents tracked down David’s mother and from there, the pair connected for the first time in more than three decades.

Saturday’s reunion at the San Diego International Airport was overwhelming. Kathy’s flight from Wisconsin laded at 11:20 a.m., and she was met by a slew of media.

Prior to the seeing his mother, David ate breakfast and said a prayer. He said he barely slept the night before bracing for this very moment.

Accompanied by a translator, David said in Spanish that he was anxious and wasn’t sure what he would say to his mother once he saw her.

The two speak different languages, but when it came time to meet face-to-face, they understood one another perfectly.

“Te quiero. Te quiero, Mami,” he said to his mother.

“I love you too,” said Kathy.

Since entering the U.S., David has been staying at Iglesia de Cristo Ministerios Llamada Final Inc. de San Diego, based in Point Loma.

On Saturday, NBC 7 spoke with David and his mother at the ministry where he is staying.

Kathy said she was happy to see her son, but admitted some of the emotions are bittersweet, especially when she thinks of all the important moments of her son’s life that she’s missed.

“He's all grown up and I've never seen his graduation, his first day of school,” she lamented.

In Spanish, David said he felt many emotions, but all he wanted to do was embrace his mother. He said he was excited to eventually meet his four siblings, too.

Kathy plans to take David back to Wisconsin with her to meet his siblings and extended family.

“He has a grandmother. He has an aunt and uncle; lots and lots of cousins,” she said.

But for now, in San Diego, Kathy is grateful to have her son all to herself.

“I’m all happy and I don’t want to let him go,” she said.

David and his mom are excited to explore San Diego together this weekend. It's their first time visiting the city.

On Tuesday, they'll fly together to Kathy's home in Wisconsin, where David will spend the holidays with his family.

An armed suspect robbed a Wal-Mart in Oak Park Saturday evening, according to San Diego police.

A report came in just before 6:30 p.m. that shots were fired at a Wal-Mart Supercenter store located at 3412 College Ave, near College Grove Drive.

According to SDPD Officer David Stafford, the robbery suspect entered the store with a handgun, demanded cash, and fired one shot.

Stafford said the suspect then fled the scene in a dark Ford Mustang.

The suspect is described as an African American male in his 30's, and was wearing a black hat and dark jeans at the time of the robbery.

No injuries were reported.

The SDPD's Robbery Division is investigating the incident.

The Loudoun County, Va., Department of Animal Services is opening up a felony animal cruelty investigation in connection with the discovery of a large pile of skinned animal carcasses in Lovettsville, Va.

A preliminary investigation of the bodies determined most were wildlife; fox and raccoon. However, investigators noticed one carcass was atypical and a necropsy report determined it was a dog.

Because the skinned carcass is a companion animal, the department is now investigating the situation as a felony crime.

The pile of dead animals was found in Catoctin Creek off Featherbed Lane on Tuesday. Labeled “a state scenic river,” Catoctin Creek near Waterford runs under a single lane bridge on a lightly traveled road that cuts amid the cattle farms and stone-gated mansions.

Dave Daley, who works on a construction site nearby, discovered the carcasses earlier this week and contacted Animal Services.

“I was just driving by and I looked over the side of the bridge and I saw a pile of something that looked strange to me, so I stopped and investigated a little bit more and I determined that they were animal bodies,” he said.

 “Well, it's horrifying,” dog owner John Caron said. “Hopefully they can find the perpetrators and jail them. I mean, that's just absolutely horrifying.”

“I'd like to see somebody prosecuted because somebody’s clearly doing something wrong,” Daley said.

A Virginia Department of Environmental Quality was at the site on Saturday and was making arrangements for the cleanup and disposal of the remains.

A prominent Los Angeles Superior Court Judge claims UCLA police used excessive force Saturday morning when he was pushed against a patrol car, handcuffed and told he was under arrest for what ultimately amounted to a seatbelt violation citation, according to the written complaint he filed with the department.

David S. Cunningham III said he was leaving the parking lot of the Westwood LA Fitness, and after driving a block, had just buckled his seatbelt when a UCLA patrol car pulled him over, his attorney Carl Douglas told NBC News Investigates.

Two officers exited the vehicle when Cunningham stopped on Gayley Avenue, and asked for his license, Douglas said. After Cunningham provided the officer with his wallet and had it returned, he then was asked for proof of insurance and registration.

Cunningham claims as he was reaching for the documents in his glove compartment an officer began yelling at him “not to move,” according to his letter to the police department.

Douglas said when a bottle of prescription pills for high blood pressure rolled out of the compartment, one of the officers asked Cunningham if he was running drugs.

In the written complaint Cunningham filed with UCLA police, he stated that he became "irritated" and told the officer he needed to look for the paperwork. As he got out of his Mercedes to check the trunk for the documents, he was thrown against the car and handcuffed so tightly it left marks on his wrists, Douglas said.

Douglas acknowledged that Cunningham was told to stay in his car, but said the use of force was unnecessary.

“For what,” Douglas said. “For a seatbelt.”

About 10 minutes later a police sergeant arrived and Cunningham was released.

“This says to me that this African American (Sgt.) understood the reality of what was going on,” Douglas said.

The university’s police department issued a response Sunday night confirming Cunningham was stopped and temporarily handcuffed before being released with a citation for failing to wear a seatbelt. It also acknowledged receipt of Cunningham's complaint.

“Due to the pending investigation, additional information is not available at this time,” the statement said.

Cunningham was the former president of the Los Angeles Police Commission, the civilian board that oversees the LAPD, and was a strong proponent of community policing and outspoken in cases of excessive force. He was appointed to the Los Angeles County bench in 2009 by then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

 A 28-year-old man was seriously injured after he was stabbed four times at a 7-Eleven store early Sunday Morning in Pacific Beach.

The incident started at 12:39 a.m. with a fight between three men inside the 7-Eleven at 4340 Mission Blvd., according to San Diego Police Officer David Stafford.

One man was stabbed at least four times in the chest and abdomen. He was taken to a nearby trauma center with serious injuries.

A 26-year-old man was arrested near the scene for his role in the stabbing, said Stafford.

San Diego Police will continue the investigation.

Police are looking for the driver who was caught on video running down a group of men during a fight outside an upper Manhattan nightclub before speeding off early Sunday. 

In a video submitted to NBC 4 New York, three men can be seen trying to pull the driver from the car's open door outside the club on West 202nd Street.

After a few seconds, the driver speeds in reverse, flinging the men into the sidewalk and slamming the car door into a raised concrete tree box. Afterward, the driver zooms off down West 202nd Street with the car door still open.

After the car leaves, people are seen tending to one of the men on the ground.

One of the men was taken to the hospital and is in stable condition, the NYPD says.

Police also said they have the driver's New York license plate number, but wouldn't elaborate further on the altercation.

Editors at Consumer Reports have played Santa with their own Naughty & Nice list examining company policies.

Companies including Amazon.com, Best Buy and United Airlines made the naughty list over restrictive policies. Citibank, Hampton Inn & Suites and Southwest Airlines were among those that made the nice list for their more liberal policies.

Consumer Reports staff members and Facebook fans contributed to the list. Company policies or practices were either verified by contacting the company directly or by examining their policies on their websites, according to the report.

The list doesn't purport to be a definitive guide to the most customer friendly or unfriendly companies.

"When we praise or criticize a company, it's in regard to a specific policy. It doesn't mean that we give either a thumbs-up or thumbs-down on everything else that company does," Consumer Reports senior editor Tod Marks told CNBC. "We've had instances where a company has done very well one year and gone on the negative list the next year, and vice versa, so it's about the particular policy—not the company."

Naughty companies include:

Amazon.com: The world's 11th largest retailer recently raised the minimum purchase price for free Super Saver shipping on eligible items by $10, to $35.

Best Buy: Please sir, may I have some more? Even if you have a receipt, the electronics chain now requires customers to show a photo ID to make a return.

Kmart: The days of employees getting holidays like Thanksgiving off to spend time with their family and friends are no more at Kmart. Welcome to "Black Thursday" and another marathon work day for retailers. The 1,200 store chain recently boasted about being open for 41 hours straight starting at 6 a.m. Thanksgiving Day through 11 p.m. Friday.

United Airlines: Have kids flying? Forget any opportunity to preboard on United. The policy change this summer does not allow families with small children to preboard a flight. They must board whenever their group number is called.

Nice companies include:

Citibank: No late fees means no late fees at Citibank. Citibank never assess late fees for missing a payment. Late fees for missed credit card payments usually range from $15 to $35 dollars. However, skipping on your bill can still lower your credit score and repeated tardiness may compel the bank to close your account.

Hampton Inn & Suites: The hotel chain isn't kidding when they offer customer satisfaction guaranteed. "If you're not satisfied, we don't expect you to pay," the company pledge states.

Sony: Forget those annoying calls to automated customer service. The entertainment giant lets customers turn to social media (Google, Twitter, LinkedIn) as a communication tool to address any problems or concerns with a product.

Southwest Airlines: The painstaking "change fee" every traveler frets when having to change their flight. Most airliners allow you to change your flight without a change fee within 24 hours of booking your flight. At Southwest there are no time restrictions. Customers are only on the hook for the difference in fares. Southwest is also one of only two major U.S. airlines that allow customers to check their first two bags for free, according to the Southwest company website.

The seven-hour lockdown at Yale University is over.

It was issued soon after a man made an anonymous call to police at 9:48 a.m. from a phone booth in the 300 block of Columbus Avenue and said his roommate was on his way to the Ivy League school to shoot people, police said.

Police said this afternoon that they believe the call was a hoax, but they were conducting a room by room search of thousands of rooms at Yale.

"We don't have the luxury of going on a hunch, so we are gong to run this down to ground all the way," New Haven Police Chief Dean Esserman said.

Police said they have identified witnesses, as well as others, who were not sure whether the person they saw with a gun was a citizen or a police officer, so they took no chances and police are maintaining a perimeter around campus out of "an abundance of caution."

Police also said there were reports from people on campus seeing someone on a roof or someone, but it turned out to be someone who was smoking a cigarette.

"Nobody has been hurt, nobody has been found, but the day is hardly over," Esserman said. "Because, until we are satisfied that perhaps a police officer was mistakenly seen with a gun, and not a civilian seen with a gun, we are going to err on the side of caution. I want to repeat --  nobody has been shot. Nobody has been hurt.  Nobody has been apprehended with a gun. ... But in this day and age,  when there is a call, it behooves us to over-react and not under-react."

The caller who triggered the massive police response did not identify himself and only stayed on the phone with dispatchers for a few seconds before hanging up, David Hartman, of the New Haven police department said.

Immediately after receiving the call, Yale University ordered a shelter-in-place/lock-down order and state police, the FBI, ATF and other federal agents joined Yale and New Haven police in the investigation.

Esserman said during a news conference this afternoon that police have tracked down the call and they are tracking down the person who made it.

"I'm not, and Chief Higgins is not going to walk away and go home tonight until everybody we're responsible for keeping safe is safe," Esserman said. "And thought it is starting to tilt in the direction of an innocent mistake, it started with a purposeful and malicious call and the New Haven Police are going to track down the person who made that call, we're going to find the person who made that call, we're going to put handcuffs on the person who made that call."

Yale's November break started on Saturday, but several students remain on campus.

One Yale student said she was the only person in her suite when the lockdown was issued. For four hours, she remained inside while her father waited outside to take her home for the Thanksgiving break.

After police knocked on the door and searched her room, she was allowed to leave.

This is a situation that played itself out over and over again today as police do a room to room search that started with the residential college areas.

"When (police) knock on your door, a Yale Police Officer will slip their Yale ID under the door. Please cooperate. In some cases, Police may use keys, but they will identify themselves. Shelter in Place continues," an alert the university issued at 1:45 p.m. said.

Police said this afternoon that Old Campus was considered "the hot zone," and the search could take hours.

Just before 2 p.m., the SWAT team was entering Calhoun College, at College and Elm streets. It is one of Yale's 12 residential colleges.

The situation also prompted a precautionary lockdown at Gateway Community College, which is located nearby at 20 Church Street in New Haven.

Police are also asking drivers to stay away from the area as the emergency response continues and said the New Haven Free Public Library is closed.

The downtown area remains congested and slow moving, so people are asked to avoid the area if possible.

Businesses were also affected. Hartman said businesses on Chapel Street, between College and High streets, were closed.

"At the end of the day, we can always sell more soup and more salads and more food, but we can't replace bodies, so that's all we cared about,"Claire Criscuolo, owner of Claire's Corner Copia, said.

They have since reopened.

Anyone with information is asked to call 911 immediately.

Gusty winds could ground the high-flying balloons of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, which can't fly in certain conditions.

Sustained winds on Thursday are forecast to reach 15 to 20 mph, with gusts between 30 and 40 mph; The limits for letting balloons fly is 23 mph winds and gusts of 34 mph -- rules set by a commission in 1998 after a serious accident amid high winds the year before.

A Macy's spokesman said Monday that organizers will look at "real-time" conditions, not forecasts, and that a decision would be made on Thursday morning.

The 2.5-mile parade starts at 77th Street and Central Park West and marches to Herald Square.

Organizers have closely eyed the parade forecast, especially predictions for wind, after accidents over the years.

Two sisters were injured in 2005, when tethers from the M&M's Chocolate Candies balloon became entangled on the head of a street lamp. The women suffered cuts and bruises.

And in 1997, two people were seriously hurt as a Cat in the Hat balloon slammed into a metal pole.

The first murder charges have been handed down in a deadly building collapse that took the lives of six people, injured 13 and resulted in an overhaul of demolition practices in the city of Philadelphia.

Griffin T. Campbell, 49, of Philadelphia, faces six counts of third degree murder, six counts of involuntary manslaughter and 13 counts of recklessly endangering another person, according to District Attorney Seth Williams.

"It would appear, bluntly, the motive was greed," Williams said.

Campbell is accused of ignoring safety advice, right up to the eve of the collapse.

It was the morning of June 5, 2013, when a 4-story, free-standing brick wall came crashing down on top of the Salvation Army Thrift Store on the corner of 22nd and Market Streets. Shoppers and workers inside were buried in the debris -- including one woman, for 13 hours.

The grand jury investigation, according to Williams, "places Campbell at the center of culpability." Williams said that instead of opting for the safest way to dismantle the building, Campbell opted for the most profitable way, which included salvaging some of the dismantled parts.

Williams said numerous demolition and construction experts testified before the grand jury, explaining that there was one appropriate way to take the building down.

"The building should have been taken down hand by hand, piece by piece, brick by brick," Williams said.

Instead of taking the building apart from the outside, Campbell removed key structural parts of the building from inside first, using heavy machinery, according to Williams.

"He therefore chose to maximize his profits by first deciding to remove the joists, which were valuable for his resale." That left the walls without support, Williams said.

On the night before the collapse, Plato Marinakos, an architect and the project's expeditor, allegedly warned Campbell that the unbraced wall could collapse at any time. According to Williams, Campbell promised that night to have the part of the wall that towered above thrift store taken down, brick-by-brick. The work was started, but never finished. On the morning of the collapse, about an hour before the walls crumbled, Campbell called Marinakos and tole him the freestanding part of the wall had been safely taken.

The collapse happened at 10:41 a.m. Four minutes later, Campbell began repeatedly calling Marinakos. According to the grand jury presentment:

...Campbell called Marinakos and told him that the building collapsed and he should get to the site right away. As Marinakos traveled to the store, Campbell continued to "frantically" call Marinakos and plead for him to get to the site. Eventually, Marinakos got to the site and found Campbell in the chaos. Marinakos asked Campbell how this happened and Campbell admitted to him "he didn't take the wall down" and stated "I'm sorry."

Construction accident attorney, Robert Mongeluzzi, who is defending the majority of survivors and victims' families who have filed civil suits, said he was looking forward to the continued work of the grand jury to see if anyone higher up the chain of command would be indicted.

"The information we've discovered and the emails we've uncovered have proven that this accident occurred because of decisions made over days and weeks and not just on the job site," Mongeluzzi said. He also questioned whether Marinakos, the expeditor, could have done more.

"If I was at a job site and there was a wall that I knew could potentially collapse onto the building next door, the first thing I would have done is pick up the phone and call 911, the police department and OSHA," Mongeluzzi said.

Campbell did not talk when he turned himself in this afternoon, but his attorney, William Hobson said the collapse was a horrible, tragic accident, but that his client did nothing wrong.

"We will vigorously defend all these allegations and charges," Hobson said, lashing out at the DA. "It was no accident that the Monday before Thanksgiving that the District Attorney decided to indict our client.

"I hope that Campbell's arrest will give victims and their families some sense of relief, although I know their pain will never go away," Williams said.

Campbell is the second person charged in the fatal collapse. During the first week of the investigation, prosecutors charged Sean Benschop, an excavator hired by Campbell, with six counts of involuntary manslaughter and 13 counts of reckless endangerment for his alleged role in the collapse.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration proposed nearly $400,000 in penalties and issued construction safety citations to Campbell and Benschop.

In the wake of the collapse, the city’s Department of Licenses & Inspections issued new guidelines for demolitions taking place inside the city.

A special City Council investigative committee also issued 71 reform recommendations ranging from changes in demolition paperwork to altering the Philadelphia Code to giving the Philadelphia Fire Department more power to stop bad demolitions.

The parents of Anne Bryan, one of the victims who died in the collapse, pushed for the creation of a blue-ribbon commission to investigate L&I. Bryan, 24, was shopping with her best friend Mary Lea Simpson inside the store the morning of the collapse. Both died.

"We are hopeful this is only the beginning of the Grand Jury’s work and that eventually all those that were responsible for the death of our daughter and the other victims are held criminally responsible to the fullest extent of the law."

A man and woman wanted in the robbery of an ice cream and coffee shop surrendered peacefully Monday after more than five hours in a standoff with police in Sherman Heights.

Around 7 p.m. Sunday, police said a man with a gun robbed Korky’s Ice Cream and Coffee in the 2300-block of San Diego Avenue in Old Town. It's unclear how much money he stole.

Witnesses told police the suspect hopped into the passenger seat of a car, possibly an Infiniti, being driven by a woman.

Later Sunday night, police located the supposed getaway car in the 2000-block of K Street in Sherman Heights. Officials said police laid spike strips behind the car in case the suspect tried to escape.

Police blocked off several streets in the area of 22nd Street and K Street, near Sherman Elementary School. There were many homes inside the police perimeter. Officers seem to be focusing on an alleyway off K Street.

Around 12:45 a.m., the man surrendered to police. Officials say the woman wanted in the crime surrendered approximately two hours later.

A woman likely would have jumped to her death after Sunday night’s Oakland Raiders game, had it not been for a Marine veteran from Stockton who caught her from the third deck.

That’s the conclusion of Alameda County Sheriff’s Sgt. J.D. Nelson, who told NBC Bay Area that he credits the 61-year-old man, Donnie Navidad – a die-hard Raiders fan – for urging the woman not to jump and breaking her fall from 50 feet above.

"He put his arms out and tried to catch her, he didn't even think about it. He didn't want her to fall," Nelson said. "There's no question, no question," that he saved her life.

The woman was on the third deck of the o.Co Coliseum at about 4:30 p.m., just after the Tennessee Titans beat the Oakland Raiders 23-19.  She was in section 301, an area that is closed off to the public, Nelson said.

People below, including Navidad, urged her not to jump, Nelson said. But she did anyway.

Navidad caught her and was knocked over by the catch, injuring himself.

"Had I not done anything, that would have been etched in my mind until I died," said Navidad, who came away with some bruises on his left arm. "I happened just to be there. When she was falling, I held my arms out so she could land. I was going to lock her in so we could fall together."

The woman was taken to Highland Hospital and was “in pretty bad shape,” Nelson said. As of Monday morning, she was in critical condition.

"I want her to know that people care and tell her, 'No matter what you did, what was running through your mind,' people care," Navidad said.

Hall of Fame Raider Willie Brown and other players and team staffers visited Navidad Monday to say thank you. They gave him Raiders memorabilia and Sunday’s game ball.

There have been other falls, some fatal, from Bay Area stadiums in the recent past.

In September, Kevin Hayes, a 32-year-old man fell to his death after he had been drinking from a pedestrian overpass outside Candlestick Park where the 49ers play. And in December 2012, a teenager was seriously injured when he fell from the third level at o.Co Coliseum, where the Oakland Raiders were hosting the Denver Broncos.

As for now, Navidad is downplaying that people are calling him a hero.

"I'm a hero to them, but to me, I just reacted the way I did," Navidad said.
