A bird carrying a snake in its talons struck power lines north of San Diego, sparking a hillside fire just west of The Merge.

San Diego Police arrived to the location on Dunhill Street near the intersection of Interstates 5 and 805 just before 6 a.m.

Flames were burning very close to businesses including the General Atomics building, officials said.

Officers called in San Diego Fire-Rescue crews who contained the fire within an hour.

Fire officials initially told NBC 7 a bird with a snake in its mouth was electrocuted on a power line and fell to the ground, sparking the fire. A photo released by officials later shows the snake in the hawk's grasp.

"A hawk that hit the high voltage power line, caught fire, and fell to the ground," SD Fire-Rescue spokesperson Lee Swanson said in a written release.

There were no structures damaged and no evacuations ordered.

This area of San Diego is home to many companies in the region's biochemical industry.

Shots were fired on a main street in Escondido, less than a block away from two elementary schools.

Escondido police were called to a shooting at 1 p.m. on Gamble Street and E. Lincoln Avenue near State Route 78.

Officers said one person was shot and requested emergency personnel.

A suspect was last seen leaving the area in a dark, Nissan Altima, police said.

The location of the incident is half a block west of Farr Elementary School and half a block east of Lincoln Elementary School.
 

An Amtrak train heading for Washington, D.C., was stopped in Delaware for more than one hour due to crews working too many hours during the day.

The Amtrak Northeast Regional Train 193 was traveling from New York to Washington, making stops in Philadelphia and Delaware.

"The train left Philadelphia on time at 7:10 p.m. and Wilmington on time," said Susan Poulton, one of the passengers. "And then it came to a complete stop right before the Newark, Delaware stop. After 10 minutes, the conductor announced that the crew had worked a 12-hour shift and had "run out of hours" and had to wait on another crew to relieve them."

Poulton told NBC Philadelphia she was on a southbound Northeast Regional train that left Philadelphia on the same night and time as the Amtrak train involved in the deadly derailment last month. That accident weighed heavily on her mind and the minds of other passengers Tuesday night, according to Poulton.

"About 30 minutes in, we heard a train horn behind us (I'm in the last car) and another southbound train passed us on the left," she said. "There were a couple of nervous looks around the train feeling like sitting ducks in the track. Then another train passed, then another."

An Amtrak official confirmed with NBC10 the train was stopped due to the crew members "exceeding the limit of hours of service." The official called it an "administrative mistake" that was "extremely rare." He also said Amtrak will investigate the incident.

The train remained in Delaware for an hour and 12 minutes until a replacement crew arrived. The train then continued towards Washington, D.C., and arrived at Union Station around 10:20 p.m.

The mother of Ezell Ford called on the Los Angeles County district attorney to file charges after a Police Commission found that an officer was unjustified in the fatal shooting of the unarmed, mentally ill black man.

The board announced mixed findings Tuesday, ruling that one officer acted within Los Angeles Police Department policy in the August 2014 shooting, but another officer acted improperly.

"I’m very satisfied. I agree totally with their decision," said Ford's mother, Tritobia Ford. "When I heard the announcement my initial reaction was hallelujah. This whole time I said I didn't believe God would allow my son's life to be taken in vain."

The ruling came during a heated commission meeting at which protesters demanded action against the two officers and police Chief Charlie Beck.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said he had privately met with Ford's mother at First AME Church for about 45 minutes to discuss the findings.

"He offered me his support and shared with me his sympathy," she said. "Even though it was 10 months late, I thank him."

Ford's mother also thanked the commission's president, Steve Soboroff, following the unanimous decision. After an LAPD internal affairs investigation, the case will be passed to Beck, who decides what discipline the officers would face.

Flanked by family members and their lawyers, Ford's mother said she was doubtful that the disciplinary action Beck chooses will be more than "a slap on the wrist" and hoped for criminal charges.

"District Attorney Jackie Lacey, you need to step up. You need to step up," she said as she held her younger son in her arms. "I'm definitely looking at her to press charges."

The judge overseeing the hush-money case of former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert said he believes he can be impartial but gave attorneys until Thursday to decide if he should be disqualified.

"I have no doubt I can be impartial in this matter," Judge Thomas M. Durkin said Tuesday after Hastert entered not guilty pleas to federal charges.

The case was randomly assigned to Durkin, he said, adding that it would be randomly given to another judge if attorneys ask him to step aside. Prosecutors haven't said if they will ask Durkin to recuse himself after Federal Election Commission records showed he donated $500 to the "Hastert for Congress" campaign in 2002 and $1,000 in 2004.

Durkin was an attorney at the Mayer Brown law firm in Chicago at the time of the contributions. Hastert's son, Ethan Hastert, was an associate attorney at the firm at the same time. Durkin stressed he and the younger Hastert were not friends but did work on a few cases together.

"As far as I can recall I never met the defendant," Durkin said, adding that his contribution was made as a private citizen through a partner at the law firm.

President Barack Obama appointed Durkin a federal judge in 2012.

Durkin's brother, Jim Durkin, is Republican member of the Illinois House of Representatives representing the state's 82nd District. The judge said his brother and Hastert are not personal friends.

Hastert, a Republican, is accused of skirting banking laws while withdrawing $952,000 that investigators allege he gave to someone accusing him of wrongdoing. The indictment did not identify the recipient of the money or clarify the wrongdoing, but an NBC News source said the funds were handed over to conceal a sexual relationship Hastert had with a man while the man was a student at Yorkville High School, where Hastert was a teacher and wrestling coach.

A company manufacturing guardrails lining highways in California and across the country has been ordered to pay $663 million in damages and penalties for defrauding the federal government, according to a judge’s ruling out of the federal whistleblower case in Texas.

Trinity Industries, a highway manufacturing heavyweight based in Texas, has been accused in lawsuits and complaints across the country for making a change to a widely used version of its guardrail end terminals, the ET-Plus.

The changes cause the guardrail to perform improperly, according to the lawsuits.

Click here for more about the controversy surrounding the ET-Plus.

In an October jury verdict, Trinity was ordered to pay $175 million for defrauding the federal government by making false statements about the changes it made to the ET-Plus 10 years ago.

Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge for the Eastern District of Texas, Rodney Gilstrap, ordered Trinity to pay $525 million in damages and $138 million in penalties. The penalties result from the more 16,000 “false certifications” the guardrail company made.

Trinity Spokesperson Jeff Eller said, "We believe the evidence clearly shows that no fraud was committed."

Click here to read the complete statement from Trinity.

The judgment is in favor of Josh Harman, the whistleblower in the federal case brought under the False Claims Act. Harman is a competitor of Trinity who alerted the FHWA to changes made to the ET-Plus.

According to the Harman and other lawsuits across the country, instead of passing through the terminal chute and pigtailing out the side, away from the vehicle, the metal railing of the guardrail jams up inside the chute. The metal then sometimes pierces through a vehicle like a spear, cutting through cars and sometimes the people inside.

Harman was awarded 30 percent of the damages in Tuesdays judgment. An amount totaling close to $200 million. Harman is also set to receive more than $16 million in attorneys’ fees.

The federal government will receive the rest of the money, about $463 million.

The Federal Highway Administration is the federal agency responsible for approving which highway safety materials are eligible for federal reimbursement and states look to for which products are approved for use on their highways.

In previous statements the department has said the ET-Plus remains eligible for federal reimbursement.

In an email, Jane Mellow with the FHWA, said, “The Federal Highway Administration will evaluate the judge’s opinion issued today in the fraud case against Trinity.”

The FHWA ordered the Dallas-based company to retest the ET-Plus earlier this year. In those tests the highway safety product met all crash test criteria, a U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration official said.

It is estimated there are 200,000 of the guardrail end terminals on roadways across the country.

The California Department of Transportation is in the process of taking a complete inventory of how many units are on state roadways, according to Matt Rocco, Caltrans Public Affairs Chief.

In May, Trinity received a subpoena from the federal government.

According to a United States Securities and Exchange Commission report, “Trinity Industries received a subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice through the U.S. Attorney for the District Of Massachusetts.”

The DOJ is requesting documents from 1999 through the present relating to its ”ET-2000 and ET-Plus guardrail end-terminal products.”

UPDATE: The NTSB determined the engineer wasn't using his phone or Wi-Fi at the time of the crash.

Investigators have determined whether the engineer in the deadly Amtrak crash that killed eight people and injured over 200 others in Philadelphia was using his cellphone, two sources told Reuters on Tuesday. 

The National Transportation Safety Board is expected to release its latest findings on Wednesday between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. The report says the officials wouldn't reveal their findings ahead of Wednesday's announcement.

Federal accident investigators have said Amtrak's train 188 was going 106 miles per hour just before it derailed on a curve with a 50 mph speed limit. Investigators said they were still analyzing cellphone records to determine whether engineer Brandon Bostian, 32, was using it while operating the train.

The NTSB reported last month Bostian's phone records show calls were made and text messages were sent the day of the crash but they were unable to determine at that point whether the phone was used while the train was in motion.

Bostian's lawyer, Robert Goggin, has said he kept his cellphone in a bag and used it only to call 911 afterward. Bostian, who was injured, told investigators he had no recollection of the crash, the NTSB said.

"The next thing he recalls is being thrown around, coming to, finding his bag, getting his cellphone and dialing 911," Goggin said the day after the crash.

Bostian, 32, had been an engineer on the Northeast Corridor for about three years. He was based in New York. He was specifically assigned to the Washington to New York route for several weeks before the derailment, the NTSB said.

He worked a five-day-a-week schedule — making a daily roundtrip from New York to Washington — and had a "very good working knowledge" of the territory and various speed restrictions, NTSB member Robert Sumwalt said.

Bostian spoke to investigators May 15, Sumwalt said, and did not report feeling fatigued or ill while operating the train.
 

A children’s furniture company is recalling about 20,000 pieces in the U.S. and Canada over fears that straps attaching pieces to walls can break, potentially causing the furniture to tip over and harm a child.

Pali Design’s voluntary recall includes armoires, combos, dressers and hutches manufactured from January 2006 through September 2010. It affects about 18,000 pieces in the U.S. and 2,160 in Canada.

In 2014, the company received a report of a restraint strap breaking, though no injuries have resulted from the pieces, according to the company.

Pali Design is offering consumers a free retrofit kit that includes an improved restraint strap, mounting hardware and instructions for proper installation.

To get the retrofit kit, consumers can contact the company at (866) 840-4140 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, email customerservice@pali-design.com, or visit www.pali-design.com and click on “Safety Notice for more information.

Brandon Bostian, the engineer of the doomed Amtrak 188 Northeast Regional train that derailed in Philadelphia in May, killing eight people and injuring dozens more, was not using his cellphone while he manned the train, a National Transportation Safety Board report revealed Wednesday.

"Analysis of the phone records does not indicate that any calls, texts, or data usage occurred during the time the engineer was operating the train. Amtrak’s records confirm that the engineer did not access the train’s Wi-Fi system while he was operating the locomotive," an NTSB news released issued Wednesday morning read.

Bostian's phone was examined by investigators in the NTSB laboratory in Washington, D.C., the release said. Authorities said Bostian cooperated, providing them with the passcode to the cellphone to allow investigators to access the data without having to contact the phone manufacturer.

An investigation into the derailment in Philadelphia's Port Richmond neighborhood found that the New York-bound train was traveling 106 mph -- 56 mph higher than the posted speed limit -- as it entered a dangerous curve at Frankford Junction. The brakes were applied with maximum force just before the derailment, the investigation found, but the train was still moving faster than 100 mph as it veered off the tracks.

The finding that Bostian was not using his phone at the time of the derailment has heightened the mystery surrounding exactly what caused the accident.

Attorney Robert Mongeluzzi, who has filed lawsuits on behalf of some of the victims of the derailment, said the fact that Bostian was not on his cellphone "raises even more questions about why he would recklessly operate this train at an outrageously dangerous speed."

"Nothing about the NTSB’s conclusions today changes the fact that the engineer's actions were inexcusable as were the deliberate decisions of Amtrak to not implement available life-saving automatic train control systems," Mongeluzzi said in a statement.

NTSB officials said later Wednesday that being unable to determine the cause of an accident is rare, and that they anticipate the investigation will take a full year to complete.

"We still have a great deal of work to do in order to understand all of the factors that may have contributed to the accident," officials said.  "We will use all of the information that we develop in the course of the investigation to come to the probable cause of the accident."

Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams, whose office is conducting a separate investigation into the derailment, declined to comment on Wednesday, saying the investigation is ongoing.

"We will turn over every stone until we find out what happened," Williams said.

The crash, which turned the cars closest to the front of the train into a pile of twisted metal, killed eight people -- Derrick Griffith, 42, a dean at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, New York; Rachel Jacobs, 39, the CEO of Philadelphia-based company ApprenNet and a mother of a toddler; Abid Gilani, 55, who worked for Wells Fargo; Justin Zemser, 20, a Naval Academy midshipman; Jim Gaines, 48, a father and Associated Press video software architect; Bob Gildersleeve, 45, a father and vice president of Ecolab; Laura Finamore, 47, a senior account director at Cushman & Wakefield; and Giuseppe Piras, 41, a wine and oil executive from Sardinia, Italy.

More than 200 others were injured, and four remain hospitalized at Temple University Hospital. A number of lawsuits have been filed against Amtrak by injured people and their families.

After the crash, Bostian, 32, an Amtrak engineer for about three years, told investigators he had no recollection of the crash.

His attorney, Robert Goggin, has said he kept his cellphone in his bag and used it only to call 9-1-1 after the crash.

"The next thing he recalls is being thrown around, coming to, finding his bag, getting his cellphone and dialing 9-1-1," Goggin said the day after the derailment.

The NTSB's Robert Sumwalt said Bostian worked five days a week, making a daily roundtrip from New York to Washington, D.C., and that he had a "very good working knowledge" of the route and its various speed restrictions.

Sumwalt said Bostian spoke with investigators May 15 and did not report feeling tired or sick while he operated the train.

On Tuesday, the Federal Railroad Administration issued a safety advisory listing several recommendations for steps passenger rail lines should take to enhance speed control of trains. The FRA said it would enforce a Dec. 31, 2015 deadline set by the Rail Safety Improvement Act of 2008 for intercity and commuter rail lines to install positive train control, a mechanism that helps to regulate train speeds.

NTSB officials were expected to testify before the Senate Commerce Committee about train safety Wednesday afternoon. One focus of the hearing is positive train control.

A truck carrying potatoes overturned on the Capital Beltway's outer loop Wednesday morning, closing several lanes of traffic during the morning rush. 

The accident happened at about 2:30 a.m. near Forestville Road in Prince George's County.  

Maryland State Police Cpl. Anthony Washington says the driver was flown to Shock Trauma in Baltimore with a significant arm injury.

Washington says investigators are looking at whether the driver fell asleep.

All lanes are now open.

Summer break could soon begin and end earlier for students in the San Diego Unified School District. The school board is voting Tuesday evening on a proposal to start the 2016-2017 school year before Labor Day.

The SDUSD is currently the only local district to start after the holiday weekend, and the school year wraps up at the end of June.

So the district asked for input from parents on a proposal to change that, instead making Aug. 29 the start day in 2016. The proposal applies to that year alone.

According to the district, most liked the idea. Student Ramon Hendle said he would like to have mid-terms done before Christmas.

“You don't have to worry as much over Christmas break and stuff trying to remember things,” he said.

Others would appreciate the long Labor Day weekend right after starting school, to get students immersed more slowly.

But Nicole Curtis, a Lakeside substitute teacher whose children start early and get out early, said she likes to start after Labor Day with no interruption.

“I feel like summer doesn't start anyway until after June, the end of June,” she said. “I feel like it’s good.”

Ambivalence about the change remains, which the school district said stems from misinformation about when school would start – before Labor Day, but not until the end of August.

Many of those against the proposal were worried about students being in classrooms during the hot month of August.

“We do have an air conditioning plan for 2,000 of our hottest classrooms,” said Ursula Kroemer with the SDUSD. “All of those classrooms will be completely updated this year, so they will be completely done by the 2016-2017 school year.”

An AP teacher from Mira Mesa High School told NBC 7 starting the school year earlier gives students more time to prepare for AP exams and keeps them competitive with other districts. He said students who need summer jobs often have to work during final exams.
 

Cpl. Eric Casebolt, the McKinney police officer placed on paid administrative leave after being recorded on video using profanity and  throwing a teen to the ground during a disruption at a community pool, has resigned, police officials say Tuesday.

McKinney officers were dispatched to the Craig Ranch North Community Pool early Friday night after a fight and general disturbance were reported. The disturbance included several teens who did not have permission to be at the pool and who refused to leave, officials said.

Smartphone video of the police response shows Casebolt throwing a black 15-year-old girl, identified as Dajerria Becton, face down onto the ground and pinning her with his knees as she cried out for her mother.

Casebolt also cursed at the crowd of teens and pointed his gun at two others.

"As the chief of police, I want to say to our community that the actions of Casebolt, as seen on the video, of the disturbance at the community pool, are indefensible," said Chief Greg Conley, during a news conference Tuesday afternoon. "Our policies, our training, our practice, do not support these actions. He came into the call out of control, and as the video shows, was out of control during the incident."

As Casebolt and two officers first responded to the scene, teens were said to be running from the area as officers tried to gain control of the situation.

"Our citizens called us to a fight in progress and a general disturbance at the community pool. We responded. I do not condone the actions of those individuals who violated the rules of the community, showed disrespect to the security person on scene and to the officers who responded," Conley said. "However, we as a department are held to a high standard ... as we do our jobs. I support the fine men and women of the McKinney Police Department, who day in and day out, do an outstanding job on behalf of all of our citizens."

Nine additional officers were called to the scene and Conley said the disruption was eventually brought under control.

"I have 12 officers on the scene and 11 of them performed according to their training. They did an excellent job," Conley said.

Video showing the incident sparked national scrutiny of Casebolt's actions; meanwhile, the officer was placed on administrative leave while the police department investigated. 

Casebolt resigned Tuesday, without issuing a statement or apology, Conley said.  His resignation effectively ends the investigation by the McKinney Police Department's Internal Affairs Division.

Officer "Out of Control" as He Arrived at the Pool

"I was wondering what was going through his head. Why would he even come to the scene and act in the manner in which he acted?" said Dana Bakari, whose daughter, Jahda, was at the party on Friday night.

The family lives in the Craig Ranch North neighborhood.

"We may never know, but at the same time, too, I am relieved that he's no longer at the police force here in McKinney," Bakari said.

On Monday night, the Craig Ranch North Homeowners' Association sent an email to its members, saying, in part, "This is a peaceful, increasingly-diverse neighborhood that is growing and thriving because of our difference in background, race, reasons for moving here, and in many other ways."

"I just hope it doesn't shed a negative light here," Bakari said.

Cornell William Brooks, president and CEO of the NAACP, released a statement Tuesday following Casebolt's resignation.

"To protect any community, law enforcement officials must respect that community. The resignation of Cpl. Eric Casebolt is a good first step, but hardly the last," Brooks said.

Brooks went on to say the NAACP, "will continue working with community members and law enforcement to ensure that no one, especially the young people of McKinney, are ever again the victims of excessive force, racial profiling and police brutality."

One person, 18-year-old Adrian Martin, was arrested for evading arrest/detention and interference with public duties. Police said Tuesday that those charges were dropped. Martin, on Tuesday, said he wasn't planning on suing following the incident.

The teen in the bikini taken to the ground by Casebolt was eventually released without being cited.

McKinney police said they have reached out to the teens involved and asked if they wanted to press charges. So far only one person has responded.

NBC 5's Amanda Guerra, Ray Villeda, Don Peritz, Kevin Young and Brian Roth contributed to this report.

Four men were rescued overnight in the Elfin Forest area in north San Diego after their truck flew off a cliff.

The accident happened around 10:30 p.m. on Fortuna del Este and Canyon de Oro. Officials said some of the men were in the bed of the truck when it began drifting off the roadway and rolling off a cliff.

One man managed to jump off the truck before it crashed. Three others were rescued by officials and taken by helicopter to a nearby hospital with unspecified injuries. The conditions of the men are unknown.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.
 

Hillary Clinton has joined Instagram.

She posted her first photo Wednesday: a rack of red, white and blue pantsuits, the preferred ensemble she's become known for wearing over the years.

"Hard choices," the caption reads, in a nod to the title of her memoir.

Clinton also has Twitter and Facebook accounts. She joins a slew of other presidential contenders including Bernie Sanders, Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio who also have Instagram accounts.

Several teenagers were questioned by police after a suspicious fire sparked in a canyon near a high school in the Bay Terraces area Wednesday, officials confirmed.

The brush fire began around 10:15 a.m. in the 7000 block of Bullock Drive, behind Morse High School. The San Diego Fire-Rescue Department (SDFD) said it was burning in grass and vegetation at a slow rate of spread.

As a precaution, officials kept students away from the baseball field at Morse High School, which is directly behind the fire area. Crews were able to quickly knock out the blaze.

SDFD officials said several teens are being questioned in connection to the fire, as some were caught coming out of the canyon area at the time the blaze sparked. Investigators believe the fire was deliberately set.

The San Diego Police Department said officers detained two people at the scene, but it is unknown if they are connected to the fire. They, too, are in the early stages of their investigation.
 

The McKinney police officer who resigned after being captured on video manhandling a bikini-clad teen girl and drawing a gun on others apologizes to all he offended, through his attorney, as civil rights groups call for criminal charges against him.

Jane Bishkin, the attorney representing Cpl. Eric Casebolt, said the police officer responded to two suicide calls, one fatal and one involving a teenage girl who was hospitalized, before the incident at the pool and that the nature of those calls took an emotional toll on him.

"With all that happened that day, he allowed his emotions to get the better of him. Eric regrets that his conduct portrayed him and his department in a negative light. He never intended to mistreat anyone, but was only reacting to a situation and the challenges it presented. He apologies to all he offended," Bishkin said.

Bishkin added that Casebolt was reluctant to initially respond to the incident at the pool until it was escalated to include a possible violent assault. At that point, Bishkin said, Casebolt felt it was his duty to respond.

Casebolt's lawyer said he attempted to investigate the report of violent assault by interviewing as many people as he could to determine who was involved and that he believed those who ran could have been possible suspects.

Bishkin said Casebolt was not targeting minorities and that he had also detained a white girl not seen in the video.

She added that his attempt to gather information was "hampered by some teenagers who are instructing others to defy police instructions."

Bishkin said Casebolt, who has received a number of death threats since the incident was first reported, plans to address the media at a later date.

Civil Rights Groups Call For Criminal Charges Against Former Officer

Earlier in the afternoon, Next Generation Action Network president Minister Dominique Alexander demanded Casebolt be charged with assault and not be simply allowed to resign from the department on Wednesday, in a news conference outside the McKinney Police Department.

Alexander said he met with McKinney Chief of Police Gary Conley on Monday and asked for him to terminate Casebolt, but that the chief allowed him to resign and keep his benefits and dignity.

NEXT said they will not give up and will continue to push for the district attorney to charge Casebolt in the case. Additionally, they are asking that the woman seen in the video assaulting a child also be charged.

Following NEXT's statement, speakers with the Dallas Chapter of the NAACP, the Nation of Islam and Black Lawyers for Justice all called for more action to be taken against the former police officer.

Pamela Means, with the National Bar Association, the nation's oldest and largest national association of predominantly black lawyers, judges, educators and law students, spoke last and questioned the department's training and why Casebolt, who they said was a training officer, reacted the way he did.

Means is pushing for legislation making it a felony for police officers to not restrain other officers using excessive force.

She suggested the officer's behavior was symptomatic of other incidents in the United States between white police officers and blacks.

Means said she isn't leading the charge against America's police officers, but is seeking to remove bad police officers from their positions in law enforcement.

A vehicle linked to the man accused of killing his wife has been found near the U.S.-Mexico border, officials confirmed Tuesday.

San Diego Police say Jeremy Green, 40, escaped in a 2007 silver Corvette after shooting his wife, Tressa Green, 37, to death outside their Scripps Ranch marriage counselor’s office on Saturday.

The Corvette was found Tuesday afternoon at and international parking lot behind a San Ysidro Jack in the Box, within a short walk to the pedestrian border crossing. Green was not found with it.

Police say the car will now be impounded and processed for evidence.

Surveillance video provided by the lot's employees shows a man in a blue shirt parking the Corvette on Saturday at 3 p.m. Police say Green shot his wife at about 2:10 p.m. that day.

The footage shows the driver getting out, changing his shirt and walking out of the parking lot in plain sight.

Court documents reveal the Greens had been dealing with financial troubles, including two bankruptcies, as the couple lived in Rancho Bernardo with their three children. Tressa filed for divorce in April.

After Saturday’s fatal shooting, law enforcement launched a statewide manhunt for Green, calling him armed and dangerous.

On Sunday, police found a shotgun registered to Green at Marian Bear Park, about 10 miles south of the shooting scene, though they would not confirm if that is considered the murder weapon. Another two handguns are registered to Green, but officials have not been able to locate those weapons.

Investigators told NBC 7 on Monday they did not believe Green was headed for Mexico.

Green has brown hair and brown eyes, standing about 5-foot-8-inches tall and weighing about 185 pounds.

A tearful candlelight vigil in Mission Bay memorialized the Navy service member killed in a suspected road rage crash, a man remembered as a friend to everyone.

Chief Petty Officer Zach Buob, 39, died on May 28 when his motorcycle was hit over by driver Darla Renee Jackson, 26. Investigators say Jackson ran over Buob intentionally, though she has pleaded not guilty to a murder charge against her.

On Tuesday, fellow service members and bikers alike gathered on the beach to honor Buob, starting with a Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer for their lost loved one.

“He was sweet, and he was funny, and he was crazy, and he loved his country,” said friend Kathy Cramer. “He loved his family; he loved his friends; he loved God and he loved his bike.”

Cramer recalled Buob coming to her office and always making a bee-line for the refrigerator. But full or hungry, Buob never lost his integrity, she said. Cramer was amazed by the high turnout at the vigil.

“It means so much that so many of you have never even met him … but if you did have the pleasure of knowing Zach, you would know that he was worth every bit of this and more,” said Cramer.

Gary Klopp, who often rode with Buob on track days, told the crowd you would never think his friend was with Navy Special Warfare — an elite group that takes on dangerous missions — because he was so relaxed.

Klopp recounted his most recent trip to the track, when he stalled while taking a corner.

“My last memory of Zach coming up, and he stops and he goes, ‘Ha ha ha,’ like that,” Klopp described, pointing his finger. “And he just took off. That was Zach, always finding a joke, a humor, a moment.”

As many in the group swapped memories and lit their candles, organizers wanted visitors to walk away with a warning: if you’re a driver, watch out for motorcyclists. If you’re a motorcyclist, watch out for other drivers.

“We just hope that something really good will come out of it and if this makes other people aware on the road, including myself and all you bikers, then that’s something good that came out of it for him,” said Cramer’s daughter Nicole.

Buob served 20 years in the military, and his friends mourned the fact that despite carrying out so many tours, he died in his home country.

Jackson, the driver accused of killing him, is being held on a $1 million bail. Her attorney, Stephen Cline, said the fatal crash was an accident. That day, Buob sped past her and kicked her car after getting back about something, the attorney said.

When Jackson chased him, Cline said they collided, and Buob went under Jackson’s car. He died a short time later at the hospital.

Southern California law enforcement officers and firefighters will stand along highway overpasses from Lindbergh Field to Murrieta Wednesday evening to honor a fallen Marine as his body returns home.

Marine Sgt. Eric M. Seaman, 30, died when a Camp Pendleton-based UH-1Y helicopter crashed while delivering supplies to earthquake victims in Nepal.

The Wildomar native trained at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego after enlisting in 2009 and settled in Murrieta with wife Samantha and children 1-year-old Ryleigh and 2-year-old Roman.

The City of Murrieta is suggesting anyone who wants to pay their respects should line the area outside the Murrieta Valley Funeral Home on Washington Avenue as the hearse carrying Seaman arrives just before 8 p.m. this evening.

However, the plan for while the fallen Marine’s hearse travels through San Diego County is for firefighters, police officers, U.S. Customs and Border Protection employees and California Highway Police officers to be posted on all bridge overpasses from Lindbergh Field to Murrieta.

The route will begin at apptoximately 6: 45 p.m. on Harbor Boulevard and pick up Interstate 5 north at Grape Street then continue onto Interstate 8 eastbound until State Route 163.

From there, the procession will continue until SR-163 merges with Interstate 15 northbound.

The plane carrying the fallen Marine from Dover Air Force Base is expected to land in San Diego after 6 p.m.

The principal of North Miami Senior High School has lost his job over his Facebook comment defending the Texas police officer caught on video pushing a teen girl to the ground in an incident at a community pool.

Alberto Iber's comment had defended the officer seen in a video pushing a 15-year-old girl to the ground and drawing his gun on other black teens following a pool party in McKinney, a Dallas suburb.

"He did nothing wrong. He was afraid for his life," Iber posted on a Miami Herald story. "I commend him for his actions."

Iber was removed from the position and replacement will be named soon, Miami-Dade Schools officials said in a statement Wednesday.

"Miami-Dade County Public Schools employees are held to a higher standard, and by School Board policy, are required to conduct themselves, both personally and professionally, in a manner that represents the school district’s core values," the statement said.

No one was home at Iber's home Wednesday.

"Insensitivity – intentional or perceived – is both unacceptable and inconsistent with our policies, but more importantly with our expectation of common sense behavior that elevates the dignity and humanity of all, beginning with children."

School is out for the summer but what happened to the principal was the topic of discussion at a basketball camp Wednesday.

"I don't think he meant it in a harmful way," student Cole Crawford said.

"If you're running a majority black school and you say a remark such as that people will not respect you," student Price Testinobles said.
